In the news Second person dies following shooting at Anchorage home ANCHORAGE — A second person has died of injuries suffered in a weekend shooting at an Anchorage home. Anchorage police on Monday said 47-yearold Brenda Smalley died of injuries suffered early Sunday. A man whose name had not been released also died. Police responding to a call of shots fired at about 2 a.m. Sunday found the shooting victims inside a bathroom of a home on east Sixth Avenue. Both Smalley and the man were shot in the upper body. Two other adult family members were in the home. Police say the shooting was isolated and related to domestic violence. Detectives are not looking for suspects.
Fire heavily damages east Anchorage sushi restaurant ANCHORAGE — Fire heavily damaged an Anchorage sushi restaurant Monday morning. KTVA-TV reports the Anchorage Fire Department was summoned to Yakitori Sushi House at around 4:30 a.m. Capt. Jay Bird tells KTUU-TV that heavy flames were visible from the right side of the building when the first fire engine arrived. Firefighters said no injuries were immediately reported. By 5 a.m. heavy smoke stilled poured out of the restaurant and signage on the front of the building appeared to be melting. The restaurant is in a strip mall with two other businesses across from the Anchorage Gospel Rescue Mission on east Tudor Road. Police closed eastbound lanes of the busy east-west road from 4:30 a.m. to 6 a.m. — Associated Press

Leaderless House on track to break record Ice fishing derby kicks off Healy Republican Rep. By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire
Dave Talerico’s nomination for House Speaker failed with a 20-20 vote on Monday afternoon, the 21st day of session. This broke a two-week streak of uneventful House floor sessions. The House remains adjourned until 10 a.m. Tuesday. If the House is not organized with a speaker Tuesday, it will tie a record for the longest the House has gone without organization. The record of 22 days was set in 1981. Given Monday’s drama, organization is unlikely. It started when Wasilla Republican Rep. David Eastman nominated Reps. Talerico and Bryce Edgmon, D-Dillingham, to be Speaker of the House. Talerico was prematurely tagged by House Republicans to be Speaker of the House in November, before a majority was clear.

Edgmon was speaker during the last legislative session, and has been the defacto leader of the mostly Democratic House Coalition this year.
Rep. Chris Tuck, DAnchorage, responded to this with a point of order, saying that Eastman could not submit two nominations per Mason’s Rules.
Mason’s Rules dictate procedure and are commonly used by government bodies. Speaker Pro Tempore Neal Foster then overruled See HOUSE, page A2
Receiving and giving Local thrift store sees uptick in donations, shares with community By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
The donation-receiving room at Bishop’s Attic in Soldotna is filling up. Donations have been increasing this year, as has the community need, according to the thrift shop’s manager, Jean Warrick. “I almost could truly say that we have doubled the donations this winter, from the previous winter,” Warrick said. “I cannot tell you how many donations we’ve gotten but they’re all appreciated.” According to the nonprofit’s 2017 public tax records, the Christian-based organization gave $119,000 worth of donations to a number of community organizations with the goal of helping residents in need. Alex Zerbinos is on the board for Bishop’s Attic. The board is comprised of volunteers who work

to find worthy causes in the community to support. Zerbinos said in 2018, the shop was able to donate an unprecedented $164,000
worth of donations to the community. Donations to the community come in the form of vouchers for people who
might need winter boots or maybe a bed. Bishop’s Attic also donates cash to support organizations, like See THRIFT page A3
The ice is in and the augers are out. February is here and so is the annual Trustworthy Hardware Ice Fishing Derby. The annual winter fishing derby kicked off on Feb. 1 and will run all month long. Those interested in participating can sign up for free at Trustworthy in Soldotna or by liking their Facebook page. The competition spreads across all age groups, with divisions for kids, men and women. The minnows division is for children 6 years and younger. There is also a junior’s division for 12 years old and younger. “That’s a little more competitive than the minnows,” said Scott Miller, co-owner of Trustworthy. The minnow division participants will all receive a prize for participating, while the junior’s division compete for trophies for largest rainbow trout, lake trout, kokanee, grayling and Dolly Varden. “We try to focus on the kids. We really want the families to get the kids out there,” Miller said. “But, the adult competition is pretty competitive this year.” This year’s competition brings one major change. “The one thing we did this year is take out Northern Pike since Fish and Game did such a good job getting rid of just about all of them,” Miller said. Northern pike populations have nearly been eradicated since Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologists netted and used piscicides to eradicate the invasive fish from the lakes in the area. Fish in the adult division include rainbow trout, lake trout, kokanee, Dolly Varden, burbot, white fish and grayling. There is a prize in both the junior’s and adult’s diSee DERBY, page A2
As House falters, committees take new shape By MOLLIE BARNES Juneau Empire
Just seven House representatives sat in the House Finance room for a presentation about state debt — the same presen-
tation given to a fully organized and legitimized Senate Finance Committee earlier Monday morning. Four of the normally filled committee seats were empty. Debt Manager Deven
Mitchell treated the room as if it were the normally functioning House Finance Committee, addressing Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, as chair even though no one can chair a committee that
Woman accused of stealing rental car By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
A Soldotna woman has been charged with theft for allegedly renting a car two years ago and never returning it, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Soldotna police on Jan. 31. Kimberly McCray, 38, was pulled over by Soldotna police for a routine traffic stop on Jan. 30. According to the complaint, McCray was unable to produce vehicle registration or proof of insurance, and she allegedly told the police that she was shop-
ping around for an insurance provider. After checking the license plate, police reported that the 2016 Chrysler 200 had been reported stolen two years ago. According to the complaint, Budget Rental Cars reported that they had rented the Chrysler to McCray — who identified herself as Kimberly Webb at the time — on Jan. 27, 2017 and that the car was due back on Feb. 8, 2017. McCray initially told police that she purchased the car from someone named “Mike” a few months ago.
McCray eventually said that she rented the car from Budget in January of 2017 and never returned it, according to the complaint. Budget Rental Cars estimated $25,920 in lost income for the Chrysler, based on a rental rate of $36 per day over the 720 days that the vehicle was not returned. McCray faces one charge of second-degree vehicle theft, a class A misdemeanor, one charge of second-degree theft, a class C felony, and one charge of not having motor vehicle liability insurance.

Empire after the meeting. “But these are meetings that we would have had in finance at this point, which keeps us on track as far as when the budget comes out, we won’t have See SHAPE, page A2
Man allegedly takes snowmachine for test drive, never returns By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
A Kenai man has been charged with theft after allegedly taking a snowmachine for a test drive and never returning it, according to an affidavit filed at the Kenai Courthouse by the Soldotna State Troopers. Jacob Barrett, 22, allegedly stole a 2013 Arc-
tic Cat XF 800 snowmachine as well as a trailer on Jan. 30. According to the troopers affidavit, a man handling the sale of his father’s snowmachine was approached by Barrett, who expressed interest in purchasing the machine. The man told police that Barrett had requested to take the snowmachine See TEST, page A3

determining the state’s operating budget. Alaska’s current credit score is one of the lowest in the country, but Mitchell said that rating is subject to change pending how much the Legislature approves for residents’ Permanent Fund Divident payouts this year. The credit score increased from negative to stable in December 2017 after Legislature passed Senate Bill 26, a bill that categorized the Permanent Fund earnings transfer as an unrestricted general fund revenue, rather than a restricted one. It allowed part of the Permanent Fund to be used for government spending. But as the future of the Permanent Fund Dividend is in question, after Gov. Mike Dunleavy proposed
amending the constitution to cement the payout, the credit rating might also come into question again. “Whether those revenues will be available for anything other than a Permanent Fund Dividend remains to be seen,” Mitchell said at the Senate Finance committee meeting. “I’m not going to decide what the PFD is going to be. The last year it’s been smaller than the formula. What that highlights is that it’s available for other purposes. There’s choices to be made.” He explained at the meeting that if the Legislature decides to draw from the Permanent Fund’s earnings reserve to give residents a bigger payout, that will most likely affect the state’s credit rating negatively
as it will reduce the unrestricted general fund. This has the most impact on the secondary market and municipal borrowers. Senate Finance committee Co-Chair Sen. Natasha Van Imhof, RAnchorage, said a contributing factor for why Alaska has a better cash position is because lower dividends were paid out to residents the last three years. “We drew less money from the earnings reserve account, therefore left more money to earn in the bull market,” she said. In regards to the size of the PFD payout, Senate Finance Committee Co-Chair Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Ketchikan, said, “I can assure you it won’t be zero.”
its third year and this year Trustworthy is offering troughs for effective catch and release. “We make them here, so you just take the fish out of the hole, put them in the trough, take a quick picture and put them back,” Miller said. “We’ve rented close to 30 of those this year. It helps the fish and keeps them off the ice.” Miller said that the catch and release category
is gaining in popularity for several reasons, including stricter size restrictions put on Hidden Lake. Catch and release participants can send photos of their catch in to Trustworthy. Other participants can bring their catches in to the store to be measured and counted. One main rule applies, though, fish must be caught on a fresh water lake on the Kenai Penin-
sula, Miller said. “It’s got to be through a hole in the ice on a Kenai Peninsula lake,” Miller said. “We’ve had guys bring in winter kings and try to enter them … We’ve even had a halibut come in.” The competition runs through the month of February.

“This is not about 40 people today. It’s about 700,000 residents of the state of Alaska that are waiting for us to get to work.” Eastman reminded the House that Tuesday is the record of 22 days without organization and the House is on track to break that record. “It’s very difficult under our current rules, in fact impossible under our current rules to move forward with the business of the House without electing a speaker,” Eastman said. Rep. Garen Tarr, DAnchorage, objected to a
vote for Talerico. “I wanted to rise in objection to the nomination today and express my deep disappointment with these continuing stunts,” Tarr said in reference to Eastman submitting nominations. She said these “surprise incidents” break the trust that has been built while they are negotiating. Tarr noted there are 20 members of the House in the GOP caucus, 19 for the House Coalition caucus and one undecided. That undecided member spoke out too. “In regards to the nominee, he’s a fine gentleman to be a perfect speaker,”
Rep. Gary Knopp, R-Kenai, said of Talerico. But he said he would not be voting in favor of Talerico that day. “Other members of spoken about the need to get organized and represent our people. They lose sight of the fact they must organize the House in a manner that has potential for success and we haven’t done that yet.” Talerico’s nomination was shut down with a 2020 split. Three Republicans — Knopp, plus Reps. Louise Stutes, R-Kodiak and Gabrielle LeDoux, R-Anchorage — voted ‘Nay.’

that he had helped Barrett load a snowmachine into his truck on Jan. 30 — not aware at the time that the snowmachine was stolen — and dropped Barrett off at an apartment complex in
Soldotna. Troopers subsequently located the trailer at the apartment complex. The snowmachine was recovered in Ninilchik on Jan. 31. Barrett was located at his home and ar-

across the central peninsula, including Love INC, Frontier Community Services, Hospice of the Central Peninsula, St. Vincent De Paul, ABC Pregnancy Crisis Center, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Our lady of the Angels, St. John the Baptist, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Kairos, The Leeshore Center, Kenai Peninsula Food Bank, Wildwood Correctional Facility. “I think each one of (the organizations) does some good things in our community, but we’re always looking and listening for where there is a need, and encourage people to come to (the board) when there is a need,” Swanson said. “Our ability to reach out has grown. We’ve been very blessed. There’s just a lot of need in our community.” Today, there are four Bishop’s Attics in state — in Soldotna, Anchorage, Palmer and Wasilla. Bishop’s Attic gets donations of all kinds. From clothes to shoes, to movies and kitchen utensils, people can find almost anything they might need in the store’s
aisles. “We get everything you can think of,” Warrick said. “Whatever your garage sale didn’t sell,” Zerbinos said. While the store takes donations of all kinds, they have to turn away items that are no longer useable. “We have (turned away things) before, but it’s only — sometimes if people don’t want to go to the dump they will just drop it off,” Warrick said. “If someone brings something that’s really bad and ripped up and we know we can’t sell or give to somebody, then we will say ‘no we can’t do that.’ It’s rare. People, as far as donating, are very good.” The store runs daily specials on certain items, like on Mondays, shoes and purses are half off. Warrick said their customer base is very in tune with the store’s daily specials. Items most needed by the community are clothes and kitchen items, Warrick said. For residents looking to give even more, Warrick said Bishop’s Attic is always looking for volunteers.
“I wish there was a way to bring in more volunteers,” Warrick said. “There are so many things they could do.” Bishop’s Attic isn’t the only thrift shop seeing an increase in donations. A representative from Kenai’s Curtain Call Consignment said they’ve seen an increase in donations in the last few weeks. In Seward, thrift shop Ukanuzit has seen a small increase too. Ukanuzit coowner, Melissa Houselog, said a handful of people have come in after watching the popular Netflix series “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo,” which is based off Kondo’s best-selling book, “The LifeChanging Magic of Tidying
Up.” The book and show encourage people to look at the items in their homes and to only keep the things that spark joy. “We have had customers come in and tell us the items they are donating are from watching that show,” Houselog said. “In short, we have had donations because of that show but I wouldn’t say it’s been super crazy. The show has definitely made a few people ask if their stuff is sparking joy.” Whether residents are cleaning house, or finding what items spark joy, people are purging their homes and the community is reaping the rewards.

Freedom House. Zerbinos said the store donates about $5,000 to organizations a quarter. “We have some people who say all they have are these tennis shoes,” warlock said. “‘I need a pair of boots. Can you help me out?’ I tell them to go pick a pair of boots out and take them. That’s fine. The idea is to help whoever.” Board member Jackie Swanson says the store does its best to stick to their mission statement. “The Bishop’s Attic of the Kenai Peninsula promotes Christian-based
services and provides an opportunity for charitable giving and community outreach with the use of funds earned from the sale of donated items.” The mission statement has been the same since the Bishop’s Attic was founded in 1971 in Anchorage. The peninsula Bishop’s Attic was an offshoot of the Anchorage until 1993 or 1994, Swanson said. “I’ve been involved since 2001, so I don’t know too much about those early years, but it was always the with the same intention in mind to give back to the community with items that were donated for us,” Swanson said.

What Others Say
High-tech corporate espionage poses national security threat Huawei, the Chinese telecom giant,
has insisted in recent years that it operates within the bounds of local and international laws and norms. When a former employee filed a legal claim alleging that he was directed by Huawei to steal rivals’ trade secrets, the firm declared, “Every employee is expected to adhere to applicable laws, regulations and business ethics in the countries where we operate.” But a new U.S. federal indictment issued this week alleges this was far from true. Huawei, which makes smartphones as well as gear for connectivity, including the forthcoming super-fast 5G networks, has been largely barred from business in the United States for some time, partly over suspicions that it could build “back doors” into its equipment for spying or network mischief. Leading Chinese companies are often closely intertwined with, and required to be subservient to, the state. So far, tangible evidence of hardware meddling has not been made public, if it exists. However, concerns voiced in recent years about Huawei’s behavior now look prescient. According to the indictment, Huawei’s approach resembles that of the Chinese state: It is unbound by a rulesbased, law-governed international order, and it is determined to succeed by using theft and duplicity. In one case described in the indictment unveiled Monday by the Justice Department, Huawei headquarters in China instructed its employees in the United States to steal the design of a mobile-phone-testing robot developed by T-Mobile. This was a valuable piece of intellectual property that Huawei wanted for its own robot. Huawei engineers were repeatedly encouraged to carry out theft, and, the indictment says, on May 29, 2013, a Huawei engineer visiting T-Mobile slipped a robot arm into his bag and walked out of the laboratory. Overnight, he photographed the device and took critical measurements before returning it the next day, apologizing that it was taken by “mistake.” Later, Huawei responded to T-Mobile about the incident with gross deception, saying the thefts were “a moment of indiscretion” and did not reflect company policy when, in fact, the data had been sent to headquarters. Huawei even created a bonus program for workers who stole information from competitors. This corporate deception is also behind the separate indictment of Huawei and its chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, the founder’s daughter, for bank and wire fraud. The indictment charges that Huawei misled the U.S. government and banks about business that violated Western sanctions against Iran. The legal proceedings against Ms. Meng, who is being held under house arrest in Canada pending an extradition request by the United States, should not be politicized in the current Sino-American trade dispute. If the charges in the indictments are true, then it is clear Huawei intentionally snubbed its nose at international norms and laws, which in turn means it could pose a potentially large national security risk to the West. Doubts about Huawei are now being heard elsewhere, including in Australia, Poland, Britain and Germany. The next generation of connectivity — 5G networks — is far too important to put in the hands of a company that may work by lies and cover-ups. — The Washington Post, Jan. 29
An irrational political culture, about to get more so
Ralph Northam deserves his current friendless state. The Virginia governor’s initial reaction to a shocking image of a man in blackface standing next to someone dressed in a Klan outfit that appeared on his page of his medical school yearbook was to admit one of the figures was him. His news conference the next day taking his confession back was, even if you believe his latest strange account (he supposedly knew nothing about his page or the yearbook), maladroit and cringe-inducing. It included the revelation that he used shoe polish to darken his face as part of a Michael Jackson costume he wore in a dance contest. In 2017, when Northam won the governorship, he slimed as a racist his Republican opponent Ed Gillespie, a well-respected Republican whose alleged sin was running ads against MS-13. Finally, in another controversy last week, Northam endorsed infanticide and refused to walk it back. It’s hard to recall a politician who has so quickly and starkly been exposed as a cipher who ascended to a major office almost by accident (any Democrat would have won in Virginia in 2017). So there won’t be a lot of tears for Ralph Northam, but the controversy consuming him is disturbing nonetheless for what it portends about the drift of our political culture. It is increasingly frenzied, unforgiving and irrational, and only likely to get more so. Let’s assume for the sake of ar-
gument that Northam is in the yearbook image. What does that tell us about him? That he was thoughtless as a young man? That he had bad taste? Rich Lowry That he was immature? Yes, all of the above. But does it mean that he was a racist? This is the leap that the sweeping condemnations of Northam implicitly or explicitly make. In our public debate, we are losing the gray area of things that are offensive and ignorant — the yearbook image is emphatically both — for categorical assertions of racism. The difference is that ignorance can be forgiven and learned from, whereas racism must be punished. The old cliche that used to be repeated during racially charged controversies, “a teaching moment,” now feels quaint in this new era of headhunting. What is there to be taught or learned, after all, if Northam was an ally of white supremacy? That term once applied to the worldview of skinheads and neo-Nazis. Now, it is becoming a catchall. The lieutenant governor of Virginia, Justin Fairfax, who has been gentler in his denunciations than most, said the yearbook image suggests “a comfort with Virginia’s darker history of white supremacy, racial stereotyping, and intimidation.”
This is why there’s no statute of limitations anymore — any offense is considered too grave for that. As far as Northam’s critics are concerned, his yearbook image might as well have been published last year, not 35 years ago. There’s no allowance that the person who appeared in the image might be different than the person sitting in the governor’s mansion. Nor is there any inquiry into whether the image was part of a pattern of conduct at the time. Did Northam express hostility to African-Americans in any other way? No one has produced any substantial evidence of this, or seems to have any interest in producing any. By the same token, it doesn’t matter that Northam has an impeccable civil-rights record. His threedecade-old lapse wipes out the rest of his adult life. Actually, the mere fact that he is believed to have had such a lapse is disqualifying. The Democrats calling for him to resign now have no interest in whether he is really in the yearbook image or not. Northam has certainly done himself and his credibility no favors. Public life won’t be poorer without him. But the collective outrage devouring him will find new targets and occasions for headhunting, and more deserving public figures will fall prey to it.

Letters to the Editor Keep education off the chopping block Alaska’s education mission is ‘to provide an excellent education to every student, every day’. An excellent education gives children a knowledge of the world and life around them. As children encounter life experience, the information learned in school is converted into knowledge that helps form opinions about meaningful things, such as jobs and family. This leads to knowledgebased decision-makers, for both sides of the aisle. This part of education is as necessary in Alaska as anywhere. Alaska’s public-school funding, previously cut by $25 million from 2015 to 2018, left education already desperate for resources. There’s no more fat to trim. When education is underfunded, we lose good teachers and vital programs, achievement gaps grow, communities fail, local economies flounder as children become dependent adults, and most importantly, we have no promise for the future of Alaska. Therefore, the 2019 proposed $20 million cut from Dunleavy — the “Education Governor” — must be appropriated back to education as promised.
This year, my daughter started attending Soldotna Montessori — a charter school that has brought her from the brink of failure to thriving. Because of the outstanding teachers and the robust academic environment, I know that someday she will be a very productive member of the community. It would be catastrophic for her and many others, should something happen to this or similar schools. As the state considers funding, they should remember that a budget is always a statement of our priorities and a manifestation of our values. The quality of public education is among the very top considerations of people deciding where they want to live and raise a family. As Alaska’s population is shrinking, we need to consider whether our state is sufficiently committed to our schools. “Education improvement” is a tried and true campaign promise, precisely because it reflects an important civic value, something most of us care deeply about. But the promise of protecting education in Alaska rings hollow, unless those elected on that promise solidly stand behind it. Please, keep education off the chopping block. — Angie Clark, Soldotna

Changed Supreme Court weighing abortion clinic law By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The outcome of a fight over a Louisiana law regulating abortion providers could signal whether a fortified conservative majority on the Supreme Court is willing to cut back on abortion rights. The high court is expected to decide in the next few days whether the state can begin enforcing a law requiring doctors who work at abortion clinics to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. It was passed in 2014, but has never taken effect. The Supreme Court struck down a similar law in Texas three years ago. But the court’s lineup has changed since then. Two appointees of President Donald Trump have joined the bench and Justice Anthony Kennedy has retired. Kennedy voted to strike down the Texas law. The law was to have taken effect on Monday, but Justice Samuel Alito issued a brief order last week that pushed back the effective date at least to Thursday because, Alito said, the justices needed more time to consider an
emergency appeal from Louisiana abortion providers. Alito handles those appeals from Louisiana. The issue before the court is whether the law may be enforced even as appeals over its validity continue, so the impending vote may not be the justices’ last word on the matter. But it is expected to be a window on the court’s views of abortion rights. A vote to allow the law to take effect “will be a really good sign that the modified Court will not police states or lower courts’ compliance with” the Texas decision or an earlier ruling in 1992 that reaffirmed a woman’s right to an abortion that the court first announced in the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, University of California, Irvine law professor Leah Litman wrote on the progressive Take Care blog. Abortion opponents have been awaiting that signal since Trump’s election, particularly after he promised during the 2016 campaign to appoint “prolife justices.” Justice Neil Gorsuch, Trump’s first appointee, took the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who opposed abor-
Trump to call for unity, face skepticism in State of Union

tion rights. The president’s second pick, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, replaced Kennedy. The current situation bears some resemblance to the court’s shift on a particular abortion method that its opponents call partial-birth abortion. In 2000, the Supreme Court struck down Nebraska’s ban on the procedure by a 5-4 vote. Seven years later, the court upheld a federal partial-birth abortion ban by an identical vote. The makeup of the court had changed, with John Roberts replacing William Rehnquist as chief justice and, crucially, Alito taking Sandra Day
O’Connor’s place on the bench. O’Connor voted to strike down the state law; Alito voted to uphold the federal ban. In the majority opinion that upheld the federal law, Kennedy wrote that the law did not impose an “undue burden” on a woman’s right to an abortion, the standard laid out in the 1992 abortion-rights ruling, and that it was sufficiently different from the Nebraska law that had been struck down in 2000, even though neither law contained a provision allowing the method to be used if a doctor decided it was necessary to preserve the mother’s health.
Trump to name acting Interior secretary to lead department By ELLEN KNICKMEYER and DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Monday that he is nominating David Bernhardt, a former lobbyist for oil and gas companies and other industries, to head the Interior Department despite objections from environmental groups that Bernhardt already was making regulatory decisions on the country’s natural resources to benefit industries. Trump tweeted his intention to nominate Bernhardt, now the Interior Department’s acting head, to replace former Secretary Ryan Zinke. Zinke resigned in December amid ethics investigations. “David has done a fantastic job from the day he arrived,” Trump tweeted. In a statement, Bernhardt called it a “humbling privilege to be nominated to lead a department whose mission I love, to accomplish the
balanced, commonsense vision of our president.” Bernhardt’s reputation as a technocrat working efficiently behind the scenes stands as a 180-degree turn from that of his flamboyant predecessor. Zinke grabbed attention when he rode a horse to his first day at Interior. Zinke soon was garnering headlines over allegations involving travel and allegations of possible conflicts of interest. Bernhardt has remained low-profile as Trump weighed him and a halfdozen other reported contenders — chiefly, Western lawmakers — as successors to Zinke. As acting secretary, Bernhardt drew criticism in recent weeks from environmental groups, tribes and others for continuing to process paperwork for oil and gas projects while other agencies were closed for routine work during this winter’s partial government shutdown.
The Interior Department called its effort important to bolstering U.S. energy independence. “Bernhardt got this nomination as a reward for months of work cramming America’s natural heritage into a wood chipper,” said Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity advocacy group, one of many environmental organizations condemning Trump’s intended nomination. “Confirming him as Interior secretary would be a boon to polluters and a colossal disaster for our public lands and endangered species.” Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, said lawmakers would be watching to see whether Bernhardt’s former industry ties were influencing his policy decisions. “David Bernhardt spent much of his career lobbying for fossil fuel and agricultural interests, and the presi-
dent putting him in charge of regulating his former clients is a perfect example of everything wrong with this administration,” Grijalva said in a statement. Republican lawmakers praised Trump’s pick. “David Bernhardt … brings tremendous leadership with him from our home state of #Colorado and I look forward to a swift confirmation process,” Rep. Ken Buck tweeted. Bernhardt, who is from Colorado, first served in Interior as a political appointee under President George W. Bush, becoming the agency’s top lawyer. After his first round at Interior, Bernhardt worked at a Washington law and lobbying firm on behalf of mining companies, oil and gas giants, a politically powerful Western water agency and other groups that have business before the Interior Department.
Political death watch: Virginia governor weighs his future By ALAN SUDERMAN Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — A political death watch took shape at Virginia’s Capitol as Gov. Ralph Northam consulted with top administration officials Monday about whether to resign amid a furor over a racist photo in his 1984 yearbook. Practically all of the state’s Democratic establishment — and Republican leaders, too — turned against the 59-year-old Democrat after the picture surfaced late last week of someone in blackface next to another person in a Ku Klux Klan hood and robe. The photo was on Northam’s medical school yearbook page. The sense of crisis deepened Monday as the politician next in line to be governor, Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, denied an uncorroborated allegation of sexual misconduct first reported by a conservative website. Fairfax told reporters that the 2004 encounter with a woman was consensual, and he called the accusation a political “smear.”
Protest chants, meanwhile, echoed around Capitol Square. Lobbyists complained they were unable to get legislators to focus on bills. Security guards joked about who was going to be the next governor. Cafeteria workers and members of the cleaning staff shook their heads in wonder. And banks of news cameras were set up outside the governor’s Executive Mansion. Northam stayed out of sight as he met with his Cabinet and senior staff to hear their assessment of whether it was feasible for him to stay in office, according to a top administration official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. The meetings included frank conversations about the difficulties of governing under such circumstances, the person said. Calls from lawmakers for Northam’s resignation seemed to ease Monday. Delegate LaMont Bagby, head of the Legislative Black Caucus, said there was little left to say: “I’m going to let him breathe a little bit, give him space to

make the right decision.” The waiting game played out on what was already one of the legislature’s busiest days of the session, with the House and Senate each seeking to complete legislation to send to the other chamber. Finance Secretary Aubrey Layne said he told Northam that the state cannot afford a prolonged period of uncertainty over his future. Northam’s office is in the middle of negotiations with GOP lawmakers over a major tax overhaul and changes to the state
budget. The Republicans control both houses of the legislature. “One way or the other, it needs to be resolved,” Layne said. The furor over the photo erupted on Friday, when Northam first admitted he was in the picture without saying which costume he was wearing, and apologized. But a day later, he denied he was in the photo, while also acknowledging he once put on blackface to imitate Michael Jackson at a dance contest in Texas decades ago.
WASHINGTON — The White House says President Donald Trump will call for optimism and unity in Tuesday’s State of the Union address, using the moment to attempt a reset after two years of bitter partisanship and deeply personal attacks. But will anyone buy it? Skepticism will emanate from both sides of the aisle when Trump enters the House chamber for the primetime address to lawmakers and the nation. Democrats, emboldened after the midterm elections and the recent shutdown fight, see little evidence of a president willing to compromise. And even the president’s staunchest allies know that bipartisan rhetoric read off a teleprompter is usually undermined by scorching tweets and unpredictable policy maneuvers. Still, the fact that Trump’s advisers feel a need to try a different approach is a tacit acknowledgement that the president’s standing is weakened as he begins his third year in office. The shutdown left some Republicans frustrated over his insistence on a border wall, something they warned him the new Democratic House majority would not bend on. Trump’s approval rating during the shutdown dipped to 34 percent, down from 42 percent a month earlier, according to a recent survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said the president would use his address “to call for an end to the politics of resistance, retribution.” “He’s calling for cooperation,” she said, adding that Trump will point to examples of where this has happened on his watch. Officials said the president is also expected to highlight infrastructure, trade and prescription drug pricing as areas in which the parties could work together. But Washington’s most recent debate offered few signs of cooperation between Trump and Democrats. Under pressure from conservative backers, Trump refused to sign a government funding bill that did not include money for his long-sought border wall. With hundreds of thousands of Americans missing paychecks, Trump ultimately agreed to reopen the government for three weeks to allow negotiations on border security to continue. With the new Feb. 15 funding deadline looming, Trump is expected to use his address to outline his demands, which still include funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. He’s teased the possibility of declaring a national emergency to secure wall funding if Congress doesn’t act, though it appeared unlikely he would take that step Tuesday night. Advisers have also been reviewing options to secure some funding without making such a declaration. “You’ll hear the State of the Union, and then you’ll see what happens right after the State of the Union,” Trump told reporters. — The Associated Press

Pope urges faith leaders to reject war By NICOLE WINFIELD and JON GAMBRELL Associated Press
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Pope Francis urged religious leaders Monday to work together to reject war as he opened the first-ever papal visit to the Arabian Peninsula, the birthplace of Islam, with a strong denunciation of violence committed in God’s name. In a keynote speech to an interfaith gathering in the United Arab Emirates, Francis warned that the future of humanity was at stake unless religions come together to resist the “logic of armed power … the arming of borders, the raising of walls.” “There is no alternative: we will either build the future together or there will not be a future,” Francis told Abu Dhabi’s powerful crown prince and hundreds of imams, muftis, ministers, rabbis, and swamis. “God is with those who seek peace,” he added. Francis’ speech, delivered at the Emirates’ Founders’ Memorial, capped a historic day that began when he arrived at the presidential palace for a
welcome ceremony in a tiny Kia hatchback — only to be greeted by an artillery salute and military flyover by a country now at war. Even for a nation known for excess, the Emiratis’ red-carpet welcome was remarkable, especially for a pope who prides himself on simplicity. It featured horsemounted guards escorting the pontiff’s motorcade through the palace gardens while the flyover trailed the yellow and white smoke of the Vatican flag. Francis’ speech to the gathering of faith leaders was the highlight of his 40hour visit to Abu Dhabi. His trip concludes Tuesday with the first papal Mass on the Arabian Peninsula, a gathering expected to draw some 135,000 faithful in a never-before-seen display of public Christian worship here. Francis’ visit, 800 years after his peace-loving namesake St. Francis of Assisi met with an Egyptian sultan, marked the culmination of years of Holy See efforts to improve relations with the Muslim world after they hit a low during the papacy of Pope Benedict XVI. Since then, religious fanati-

cism and faith-inspired wars have only grown around the globe. The Jesuit pope capitalized on his relationship with Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, the grand imam of Egypt’s Al-Azhar, the revered 1,000-year-old seat of Sunni learning, to make the historic trip. They found welcome in the Emirates, which prides itself on its tolerance in a region known for severely restricting religious freedom and is home to a remarkably vibrant Catholic community that by some estimates numbers 1 million
faithful in a federation of 9 million. At the end of the interfaith meeting, Francis and el-Tayeb signed a joint statement on “human fraternity” and their hopes for world peace, and then laid the cornerstones for a new church and mosque to be built sideby-side in Abu Dhabi. The document, in Arabic and Italian, describes itself as being written in the name of “all victims of wars, persecution and injustice; … and those tortured in any part of the world, without distinction.”
El Salvador’s president-elect to face governing challenges By MARCOS ALEMAN Associated Press
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — El Salvador’s new president-elect won in resounding fashion, but breaking the three-decade hold on power of the country’s two dominant parties means that Nayib Bukele will take office with few friends in congress. The 37-year-old former mayor has an ambitious agenda, topped by a vow to root out corruption. To accomplish that and many other campaign promises, Bukele will have to find allies who can help. Bukele won with more than 53 percent of the votes Sunday, topping three rivals. But GANA — the Grand Alliance for National Unity party that he carried to victory — has only 10 seats in the legislature, well short of the 43 votes needed to pass laws. “This new government is going to be weak,” said Alvaro Artiga, a professor of political science and sociology at the Jose Simeon Canas Central American University. “It’s that institutionally it doesn’t have

legislative support.” The outgoing Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, or FMLN, government had a difficult time of it as a minority presence in the Legislative Assembly, and it had 23 of the 84 seats. And Bukele’s promise to establish a commission to investigate official corruption modeled on a U.N.backed effort in Guatemala is unlikely to win him friends among the FMLN or the conservative Nationalist Republican Alliance, or ARENA. That party itself has 37 deputies and its
allied parties have 12 more. Bukele will need to send a message immediately through his cabinet picks that it won’t be business as usual, and avoid cronyism, Artiga said. “It can’t be the friends, the relatives, all that he has accused the usual suspects of,” he said. “He can’t repeat that, because people voted as a rejection,” Artiga said. Bukele will start his fiveyear term June 1. El Salvador is small both in size and population, with just 6.5 million people. Close to a third of its households live in poverty,
and Salvadorans searching for a better life have joined recent caravans of migrants trekking across Mexico hoping to reach the U.S. Bukele rose quickly through the ranks of the FMLN, a former guerrilla army that transformed itself into a political party after a 1992 peace deal ended the nation’s civil war. He first won election as a youthful small-town mayor and then became mayor of San Salvador, the capital. But his persistent criticisms of FMLN leadership got him expelled from the party. Joining GANA — which has been a right-leaning party — was a last-minute move just to get on the ballot. “It was always about the size of the resentment among the urban middle class toward the country’s elites,” said political analyst and former guerrilla commander Salvador Samayoa. “It was never that he was the best, most honest, most wholesome, most capable candidate.” Voters were tied of corruption, the lack of economic opportunities and the persistent violence.
EU nations endorse Venezuela opposition leader over Maduro By JOSHUA GOODMAN and BARRY HATTON Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — More than a dozen European Union countries endorsed Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as the country’s interim president on Monday, piling the pressure on embattled President Nicolas Maduro to resign and clear the way for a new presidential election. Maduro, for his part, stood defiant, rejecting a U.S offer of humanitarian aid that has shifted attention to Venezuela’s western border with Colombia, where opponents were gearing up to try to bring emergency food and medicine into the country. “We are not beggars,” Maduro said in a speech to troops broadcast on Venezuelan state TV. Spain, Germany, France and Britain delivered diplomatic blows to Maduro’s rule by publicly supporting Guaido after a Sunday deadline for Maduro to call a presidential election passed without action. Sweden, Denmark, Austria, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Poland and Por-
tugal also lined up behind Guaido, who last month declared himself interim president with the support of the United States and many South American nations. Meanwhile, in Canada, foreign ministers from Western hemisphere nations belonging to the Lima Group, which includes 13 countries that took the lead in recognizing Guaido as Venezuela’s rightful leader, gathered in Ottawa to discuss additional steps to pressure Maduro. Before the closeddoor meeting got under way, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned a “dictatorship willing to use force and fear” to maintain its power. He also announced $53 million in humanitarian aid to support the Venezuelan people. “We know that the people of Venezuela are facing tremendous hardship and they need our help, as do the countries that have taken in those fleeing violence,” Trudeau said. Maduro showed no signs of caving in and lashed out at the EU, accusing it of taking orders from the Trump administration, who he has repeatedly accused of trying to carry out

a coup to get its hands on Venezuela’s oil reserves, the world’s largest. But he stopped short of breaking off diplomatic relations with the 16 European countries that recognized his rival Monday, unlike his swift move to cut off ties with the U.S. after it threw its support behind Guaido last month. A growing list of 38 countries has now recognized Guaido, including non-EU European nations Kosovo, Iceland and Albania. Long-time backers Russia and China are among at least nine nations that have declared their support for Maduro.
Maduro was especially harsh on fellow socialist and Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, saying he would have “blood on his hands” if Maduro is toppled. “They gave us an ultimatum, as if Venezuela was being governed from Madrid,” said Maduro, who was addressing troops Monday on the 27th anniversary of the failed military uprising that thrust his political mentor, the late Hugo Chavez, onto the national stage. Amid the rising pressure, Maduro has shown signs he’s willing to negotiate.
Islamic State strong, could get stronger if US pulls out of Syria, Pentagon warns WASHINGTON —As President Donald Trump prepares to reaffirm in Tuesday night’s State of the Union address both victory over Islamic State and a call for withdrawing American troops from foreign battlefields, a new Pentagon report says the terrorist group is still strong and would get stronger once U.S. troops leave Syria. A U.S.-led coalition has eliminated some 99 percent of the territory in Syria and Iraq that the Islamic State, or ISIS, once claimed as its so-called caliphate. But the group remains active and still numbers in the thousands in Syria and Iraq, and it is probably adding about 50 new members a month, the Defense Department inspector general report says. The group’s command organization is intact. Its fighters are “battle-hardened.” Significantly, the Kurdish-led Syrian resistance forces who are fighting Islamic State are essentially unable to conduct offensive operations without U.S. military air support, the report says. Islamic State would depict a U.S. pullout from Syria as a win in its global propaganda outlets. And within a year, U.S. military commanders told the IG, Islamic State would be resurgent in Syria. NBC News first disclosed the IG’s fundamental finding. But key unreported details from the report paint a fuller picture of Islamic State as a scourge that is latent in both Syria and Iraq and ready to metastasize anew. The report comes as Trump is expected to call in Tuesday’s speech for conclusions to what he will describe as endless wars, not just in Syria, where about 3,000 U.S. troops are said to be stationed, but also in Afghanistan, where some 14,000 U.S. military personnel are still deployed. Trump announced in December that “all” U.S. forces would be leaving Syria “now.” But the troops have yet to start leaving Syria, and officials subsequently have said the military exodus would unfold over several months. Trump also tasked the Pentagon late last year to start making plans for cutting the U.S. force in Afghanistan in half. In an interview with CBS News broadcast on Sunday, Trump said the U.S. troops in Syria would be departing soon. He allowed, though, that America would still retain forces in Iraq who would be ready to strike a resurgent Islamic State in Syria or Iraq —something that military commanders have reportedly been pressing for as a hedge against Islamic State’s resurgence. Trump also said U.S. forces in Iraq could form a check on neighboring Iran. There are about 5,000 U.S. troops still in Iraq. “When I took over Syria it was infested with ISIS —it was all over the place —and now you have very little ISIS and you have the caliphate almost knocked out,” Trump said in the interview. “At the same time, at a certain point, we want to bring our people back home.” Starting this week, the new Congress is stepping up its oversight of U.S. military operations in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa, and the planned drawdowns of troops from several of those places. Army Gen. Joseph Votel, the chief of U.S. Central Command, who oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East and Southwest Asia, will be asked direct questions about the planned withdrawals from Syria and Afghanistan —including the risks involved —in testimony scheduled for Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee. Meanwhile, the House Armed Services Committee, now under Democratic control, plans a Feb. 6 hearing to examine U.S. counterterrorism operations more broadly, with testimony expected from Owen West, the Pentagon’s assistant secretary for special operations and low-intensity conflict, and Air Force Maj. Gen. David Allvin, the Joint Staff’s vice director of strategy, plans and policy. The Islamic State issue will also come up at a Feb. 6 Senate Armed Services hearing on global threats. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley are scheduled to testify. The inspector general’s assessment is a quarterly report on the fight against Islamic State. It was updated last month after the president’s announcement about a Syria withdrawal. According to the IG report, most of the military commanders’ replies to the IG’s January questions were classified, but Votel’s command provided one overarching conclusion that was not classified. “ISIS remains an active insurgent group in both Iraq and Syria,” the command wrote. “If Sunni socio-economic, political, and sectarian grievances are not adequately addressed by the national and local governments of Iraq and Syria it is very likely that ISIS will have the opportunity to set conditions for future resurgence and territorial control. Currently, ISIS is regenerating key functions and capabilities more quickly in Iraq than in Syria, but absent sustained (counterterrorism) pressure, ISIS could likely resurge in Syria within six to twelve months and regain limited territory in the” Middle Euphrates River Valley. The command added that Islamic State “may conduct opportunistic attacks on U.S. personnel as they withdraw” and posited that the group’s leaders “will leverage the event as a ‘victory’ in its media.” According to the joint military task force that has been fighting Islamic State for more than four years, the group remains “a battle-hardened and well-disciplined force” that is “able to coordinate offensives and counteroffensives,” the inspector general reported. Islamic State’s leadership, meanwhile, retains “excellent command and control capability” in Syria, the task force reported, according to the IG. Islamic State “remained able to plant bombs and carry out assassinations throughout Syria.” The task force also told the IG that, “in preparation for the complete loss of territory, Islamic State increasingly functions as a decentralized insurgency as its ‘way ahead plan.’” As for the number of remaining Islamic State fighters in the region, the military’s answers to the IG are classified. But figures from the U.S. military and a United Nations agency have ranged between 20,000 and 32,000 — though officials have acknowledged lacking confidence in their estimates. Islamic State “continues to attract foreign fighters” at a rate of “most likely 50 per month,” the task force said. The report does not address any attrition in Islamic State’s ranks. — The Associated Press

Flyers top Canucks, win 8th straight By The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Carter Hart made 41 saves, Sean Couturier and Jakub Voracek scored, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 on Monday night for their eighth straight victory. The Flyers pulled within five points of a playoff spot after having the NHL’s worst record on Jan. 9 — they were 14 points out of a postseason berth during the All-Star break just over a week ago. Philadelphia also became the first NHL expansion club to reach 2,000 victories Hart, Philadelphia’s 20-year-old rookie, won his seventh straight start with another solid game. His best stop came with 5 ½ minutes left when he dived with his right arm to deny Nikolay Goldobin from a sharp angle on a power play. Brock Boeser scored for Vancouver, which was playing the first of three games in four nights. The game was delayed for several minutes midway through the third period after Vancouver’s Alexander Edler went down with a scarylooking injury. Edler’s skate got caught in Vo-

Dolphins, Bengals name head coaches By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer
DAVIE, Fla. — When Brian Flores was asked how he celebrated winning the Super Bowl, he paused for several seconds and laughed. “I kissed my wife on the field,” Flores said. Then it was on to the next challenge, and a big one — fixing the Miami Dolphins. Flores, the New England Patriots’ linebackers coach and defensive play-caller, was hired Monday as Miami’s head coach. He accepted the job hours after helping the Patriots shut down the high-scoring Los Angeles Rams for a 13-3 victory in the title game Sunday night in Atlanta. “It has been a whirlwind 24
hours,” Flores said with a smile at a news conference that drew two dozen cameras. “Looking at this crowd here, you’d think we won the Super Bowl,” Miami owner Stephen Ross said. “I’ve never seen this many people in this room. ... To me, you start an organization by signing a great leader. I believe we’ve found that leader.” Flores was the first person the Dolphins interviewed after they fired coach Adam Gase on Dec. 31. They decided on Jan. 11 to offer the job to Flores but had to wait until New England’s season ended to complete an agreement. “I wasn’t in a rush to become a head coach,” said Flores, 37. “I had a good job in New England.” Flores said the job with the Patri-
ots’ longtime AFC East foil was appealing because he shared a vision with general manager Chris Grier on how to build a winner. Bengals hire Taylor from Rams CINCINNATI — After 16 years without a playoff win under Marvin Lewis, the Bengals decided to try something different. But they had to wait more than a month before hiring Zac Taylor as their next coach in hopes of ending a long streak of futility. Taylor’s already been in town enough to know the history. The Rams quarterbacks coach reached a deal Monday a few hours after LA’s 13-3 loss to the Patriots in the Super Bowl at Atlanta. Cincinnati had to wait until after the ti-
tle game to make his hiring official. The Bengals and Dolphins were the last two teams to fill head coaching vacancies, with Miami getting the Patriots’ Brian Flores. After three straight losing seasons and 28 years without a playoff victory, Cincinnati joined the latest wave — turning to a young, offensive-minded coach. “Zach is a bright coach with an offensive mind and background, which is important to have in today’s NFL,” owner Mike Brown said in a statement. “And he’s young. He embraces new ideas and new ways to do things, which will be a good thing for us.” Taylor is the Bengals’ youngest head coach since they hired Dave Shula at age 32 in in 1992.

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Ryan McMahon scored 12 points in a span of 83 seconds in the second half and No. 16 Louisville used a 14-3 run to pull away and beat No. 11 Virginia Tech 72-64 on Monday night.

Belichick joins Halas, Lambeau with 6 titles By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA — Bill Belichick is now standing shoulder to shoulder with the NFL’s all-time greatest coaching icons. When considering his place in history, Belichick’s accomplishments transcend the Super Bowl era after his New England Patriots’ 13-3 Super Bowl 53 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Belichick has joined George Halas and Curly Lambeau as the only coaches to win six NFL titles. Vince Lombardi won five titles, including two Super Bowls. Lombardi is the namesake of the Super Bowl trophy which was displayed Monday when Belichick and Julian Edelman, the MVP of Sun-
day’s game , discussed the Patriots’ latest championship. Belichick said it was “incredibly flattering” to hear his name mentioned with the coaching legends. He said Halas was friends with his father Steve Belichick, who played for the Detroit Lions and was a longtime assistant coach at Navy. “I grew up watching coach Halas,” Belichick said. Lombardi, “Papa Bear” Halas and Lambeau are the names which have been mentioned with Bill Walsh, Chuck Noll, Paul Brown, Don Shula, Tom Landry, Joe Gibbs and others as the greatest NFL coaches. That was before Belichick began collecting championships. He now has two more Super Bowl titles than Noll’s previous record
of four and must be included in any grouping of all-time greatest coaches. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday described Belichick’s record of success as “incredible” and “unprecedented.” “We’re grateful to see him continue to have great football teams and bring them together in a way I don’t think any other coach has ever done in the history of the game,” Goodell said. Belichick still has quarterback Tom Brady, so the Patriots can’t be overlooked in the early discussion of teams which could reach Super Bowl 54 in Miami. “I competed against some of those coaches and some I didn’t compete against but I was aware of,” Belichick said. “Coach Lombardi, as a kid growing up and
watching the first Super Bowl. It’s incredibly flattering.” Belichick said the championship is “a team accomplishment” and said “our entire team and organization put forth a superior and supreme effort to achieve that. That’s really what it’s all about, about how all of us came together and pulled our own weight so we could achieve our team goals. ... It’s what we were able to accomplish as a team that makes me the most proud.” Brady, 41, said Sunday he plans to keep playing . Similarly, Belichick, 66, has made no mention of retiring, so there’s no reason to think he has finished setting new standards for his profession. Edelman said early in his career he saw Belichick on a treadmill, watching game film, late at night
at the team’s practice facility. The wide receiver said he told Belichick “You sure like football.” Edelman said the coach responded “’Beats being a plumber. See you tomorrow.’” Belichick provided evidence of his attention to detail on Monday when he questioned Edelman’s version of that exchange. The coach’s clarification came immediately after taking the microphone. “First of all, I think Julian might have misquoted me,” Belichick said in his typical dry tone. “I have a ton of respect for plumbers. Those people do a great job. I think I said it beats working. But anyway.” With that, it was on to football. It’s not too early to start planning a way to break that tie with Halas and Lambeau.
Shiffrin draws attention to inspirational supporters By ANDREW DAMPF and ERIC WILLEMSEN Associated Press
ARE, Sweden — Mikaela Shiffrin is adding a new twist to the usual relationship between star athlete and worshipping fans. She’s putting the spotlight on the fans. The overall World Cup skiing leader and two-time Olympic champion has quietly started a social media campaign labeled (hashstag) IAmYourBiggestFan to draw attention to some of the supporters who inspire her. Consider Emma Lundell, a young cross-country skier from Sweden who Shiffrin met back in 2012 on the day of her first career World Cup victory in Are — the Swedish resort that is staging the world championships opening this
week. Lundell, who was battling leukemia and receiving chemotherapy treatment when Shiffrin first met her, is now a cancer survivor. “That day, Emma inspired me, and she has inspired me since,” Shiffrin wrote recently on Facebook . “I’ve taken that inspiration with me as I’ve competed the last seven years. It is a versatile inspiration ... and it transcends sport into whatever you want to do with your life.” Shiffrin has become friends with Lundell over the years and gotten to know her family, including Lundell’s father, who is still suffering from a brain tumor. Last season at the World Cup Finals in Are, Lundell hung out with Shiffrin all day when the American won the
Railbelt awards announced
slalom in Are for the fourth time. She stayed by Shiffrin’s side in the finish area, shared the leaderboard spotlight, and even sat with Shiffrin at the news conference for the podium finishers — where Lundell was interviewed, too. “She is kind of this symbol that life isn’t fair but you play the cards you are dealt and you play them the best you can,” Shiffrin told The Associated Press. “She is always positive. She is always strong — stronger than I think I could ever be. So she is inspiring for me because of that. But also, she is reminding me that I had it really good and I should enjoy being able to do something that I love.” Shiffrin is looking forward to being reunited with Lundell in Are during the worlds.

That’s always something for me, reminding me to be a good person, to do the best I can, and just to be like Emma, whatever I do.” There are other fans who inspire Shiffrin, too. After winning a slalom in Vermont last season, Shiffrin presented her podium flowers and teddy bear to a nine-yearold ski racer from Connecticut, named Gabriella Kolev, who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis. “Days like today when I feel like I’m on top of the world, you’re the kind of person who brings me back to earth, and that’s a really good quality to have, so thank you,” Shiffrin said then. Another young athlete whom Shiffrin has corresponded with is Angelica Bettoni, a rising 13-year-old
slalom skier from Italy. This year and last, Shiffrin surprised Bettoni with birthday wishes in the form of video messages. While last year it was simply a “Happy birthday Angelica: Ski fast and have fun,” this year Shiffrin critiqued video of Bettoni’s skiing and offered detailed tips on her technique. “I don’t do it every time. If I did it every time then the requests would be crazy,” Shiffrin said. “But especially with kids back home, if I’m training in Copper (Mountain, Colorado) or something and there are some kids like, ‘What do you think?’ And I just say, ‘Yeah, outside ski or something with your inside hand,’ or something like this it’s always something I’m thinking about, too.”

And she exchanges messages with Lundell even when she’s not in Sweden. “This year she actually had a bit of an issue, an injury, and she was unable to do some skiing for a while,” Shiffrin said. “Hopefully now it is starting to heal quite well. ... Her family, her mom, she is always sending congratulations and support. It’s amazing to have people like this around you. People like Emma, she is just a good person, she’s like an angel.

Promising relationship fades with man’s missing smile Rather than write any checks to pay for his new teeth, encourage him to be more proactive in taking care of himself. If you do, you’ll be doing him a favor. DEAR ABBY: I have read letters in your column about lazy adult sons moving back home. I’d like to Abigail Van Buren present the other side of the story. After being gone 15 years, my son lost his job, house and wife and had to move back with us. I admit I was apprehensive, but on his first day home he started to rebuild our 30-year-old patio. After that, he painted our house, installed air conditioning in our garage, planted and harvested a garden, which he maintained, landscaped the yard and helped in numerous other ways. Soon he found a good job and a great girlfriend. He eventually bought a home and moved out. He lives nearby and still maintains our vehicles and helps out a lot around the house with things my wife and I find difficult to do. He borrowed my truck one day and brought it home with four new tires!
Abby, I thought you might be interested to read an upbeat story on this subject for a change. (I have a great daughter, too -- but that’s a different story.) -- GRATEFUL DAD IN NEVADA DEAR GRATEFUL DAD: You are absolutely right that I am interested. Thank you for such an upbeat letter. I don’t know what your recipe was for child rearing, but I’m sorry you didn’t share it. Your son is a gem! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY ASIAN READERS WHO CELEBRATE THE LUNAR NEW YEAR: I wish a happy, healthy new year to all of you who celebrate this holiday. The Year of the Pig begins today. People born in the Year of the Pig are warmhearted, loyal, honest and gentle. (They can also be naive, gullible, sluggish and short-tempered.) On the upside, they seem to be blessed with intelligence and creativity. Notable individuals born in the Year of the Pig include Stephen King, Julie Andrews, Duke Ellington, Lucille Ball, Magic Johnson, Ernest Hemingway and Elton John.

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2019: This year you express unusual resilience and creativity. You could become involved in money schemes that are too good to be true, so be careful. If single, you see someone as you would like, not as he or she is. This distortion could cause disappointment should this person fall off his or her pedestal. If attached, you could be subject to the same distortion, though you have more experience with it. Work on being realistic about your sweetie. PISCES impacts you often with sob stories. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Meetings and discussions could produce enthusiasm and results. Someone close could surprise you with his or her activity and vision regarding a financial matter. Open up a discussion. Tonight: Take care of your needs first. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others find you to be unusually verbal and direct. You are likely to tell it like it is. Do not get uptight when dealing with a high-strung person. Center yourself, knowing what you need and expect from this interaction. Tonight: Head home first. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH While others might act, you decide to kick back and reassess an evolving situation. Communications demand attention. You could find it difficult to find quiet time for reflection until late in the day. Tonight: Don’t allow someone to push you too hard. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You nearly always excel when dealing with someone on a one-on-one level. Try not to charge a discussion with too much passion, as the other party might react to this intensity. Tonight: The unexpected encourages you to kick back. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You know when you need to defer and let others run with the ball. You actually might enjoy being more passive and laidback than usual. You see what is happening in a different light than most people. Maintain your perspective. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Focus on getting through some pending work. You will feel better and be

able to judge what needs to be done in a different light. Schedule an important appointment. A loved one or associate decides to act. Tonight: Let someone else run with the ball. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH While others could be running around in circles, you have a clear vision of what needs to be done. You could become involved in a vociferous conversation with an associate. The end result will allow you to interact on this matter more closely. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your ability to judge a situation quickly emerges. You might disagree with someone about a domestic or real estate matter. You are able to bypass frivolous details and home in on the major issue. Do that today. Tonight: Change gears and relax with a special person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Remain responsive to inquiries and communications in general. A child or a new love interest might suddenly become demanding. Tap into your endless creativity for answers rather than get into a squabble. Tonight: Visit with a friend, but head home at a reasonable hour. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Money’s multifaceted involvement in your life continues to dominate. A potentially high-voltage discussion surrounds your home, real estate and/or domestic life. Finding a point of agreement could be difficult. Tonight: A long-overdue visit with a neighbor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your charisma still speaks for itself. Have an important discussion during the daylight hours. You could feel overwhelmed by all that might be happening. Pick up the phone and start clearing out a problem. Tonight: Make it easy; order in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Allow yourself to feel less than energetic during the day. This phase will pass. Don’t push yourself or get angry that you are not doing more. Many people go up and down like you. Head home early. Tonight: Take a much-needed nap, then decide. BORN TODAY Civil-rights activist/baseball player Hank Aaron (1934), detective Mark Fuhrman (1952), singer Bobby Brown (1969)

PICTURE-PERFECT Dear Heloise: Here are some unique ways I use my cellphone: 1. I take a picture of my car’s license plate. In case the car is stolen or I am asked for the license plate number, I only have to check my phone. 2. When I am visiting someone in the hospital and I will be making numerous trips, I enter the hospital name in my contacts and then, under the cellphone number, enter the room number. -- Sandie, via email This technology has certainly made our lives easier! Readers, do you have a unique use for your cellphone or camera? Email Heloise(at)Heloise.com! -- Heloise STAYING AHEAD OF THE GAME Dear Heloise: My HVAC service shop offers a subscription plan wherein I pay a nominal monthly fee and am entitled to free spring and fall tuneups. During these service calls, the technician inspects the whole system, tests all the components, lights the pilot (if appropriate), changes the filters and makes note of any concerns for future attention. As a “VIP” customer, this subscription puts me at the head of the list of any emergency calls for service, entitles me to a 15 percent discount on parts and labor, and eliminates all shipping charges for parts. Your readers should inquire about a similar plan with their local vendor. -- Bill S., via email Bill, it’s worth looking into! Maintenance on the front end can help avoid a pain in the back end! -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I need your advice. I’m a 66-year-old woman who has been single most of my life. I am semi-retired and don’t look or act my age. I recently met the man of my dreams on a dating app. We are the same age, and the attraction is mutual. However, there’s one thing I’m having trouble with. He lives on Social Security, which is OK, but he has no upper teeth. He lost his false teeth. His bottom teeth are rotten, and he has no intention of replacing them. I would be willing to pay for his teeth, but because I’m not sure how to approach the subject, I have decided not to see him anymore. We have agreed to stay in contact by texting. I don’t know how to handle this. Can you help me? -- TURNED OFF IN VIRGINIA DEAR TURNED OFF: Your ideal man has more problems than having lost his uppers. His lack of attention to dental hygiene is a danger to his health. If you care about him, point it out. And when you do, explain that there are low-cost options for getting treatment -- such as contacting a school of dentistry where students treat patients under the supervision of qualified professors. If his problem is fear of dentists, that can be dealt with too.

Dogs show off agility at trials, a qualifier for nationals ity trials hosted by the Mt. Hood Doberman Pinscher Club this weekend at the Clark County Event Center at the Fairgrounds. The trials were a qualifier for the American Kennel Club’s National Agility Championship in March. Dogs of various breeds, sizes and skill levels participated. On Sunday, they ran through two courses, a master’s level standard — including an A-frame ramp, seesaw and dog walk — and jumpers with weaves — a number of different hurdles
Jack Heffernan The Columbian, Vancouver, Wash.
Feb. 04—At the end of her run on an agility course, Skye, a sheltie, and her owner, Sherri Hollenbeck, made their way to a plastic chair a few feet away. After staring at her owner during their exit, Skye enthusiastically grabbed a treat, jumped on the chair and laid down. “She’s stressed,� Hollenbeck said in jest.

and weave poles. Skye finished her run on the jumpers with weaves course in just over 32 seconds, one of the top times in her group. The dog, 7, has appeared in two national events, once finishing 12th out of 75 contestants, Hollenbeck said. “It’s difficult to qualify,� Hollenbeck said. “A lot of people just go for the experience of running their dog in a national event.� Hollenbeck, of Oregon City, Ore., has trained dogs for roughly 18 years after
originally competing in obedience competitions. For Skye, now at the coveted excellent masters experience level, training began when she was a small puppy, and she’s competed for nearly five years. Flutter, 5, a Cardigan Welsh corgi, has been competing about two years. At the national competition in Tulsa, Okla., she will enter a rally event, in which the dog is guided by its owner on leash around obstacles. Flutter’s owner, DeAnn Nelson of West Richland,

But what started as a fun way to exercise her dog after her sons went to college eventually became a hobby. “She was a beast at it,� Stott said. “I never thought in a thousand years that I would be doing this.� Now, Stott and Lucy, 3, have competed for roughly a year, and they took home a handful of ribbons Sunday.
