In the news Woman held on suspicion of manslaughter after fatal shooting ANCHORAGE — A 26-year-old woman is being held on suspicion of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide after a fatal shooting in Anchorage. Anchorage police arrested Marilyn Tilo-Maiava early Tuesday morning. Police around 12:30 a.m. took a report of a suicide at an apartment and found a man with a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was transported to a hospital, where he died. Investigators say the man had brought a handgun to the apartment, where adults and juveniles were present. The gun was passed around and handled by multiple people. As the gun was handled my Tilo-Maiava, it fired, striking the man. His name has not been released. Police say alcohol and drugs are factors in the case. Online court records do not list an attorney for TiloMaiava.

Anchorage bicyclist seriously injured in crash with car ANCHORAGE — A man on a bicycle suffered lifethreatening injuries after a crash with a car in midtown Anchorage.

Dunleavy declares ‘war on criminals’, talks budget, PFD By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire

Early in his first State of the State address, Gov. Mike Dunleavy took perhaps his most aggressive stance yet in his desire to improve public safety across the state. “We’re going to declare war on criminals,” Dunleavy said, listing it as his top promise to Alaskans. A loud “woo-hoo” rose from the back right of the gallery of the House chamber at the Alaska State Capitol. Dunleavy spent a sizeable Gov. Mike Dunleavy delivers the State of the State address on chunk of his speech talking about Tuesday in the Alaska Capitol.

for you to pay for it? Those days have got to be over,” Dunleavy said. “We can no longer spend what we don’t have.” Dunleavy said he was also planning on unveiling a trio of constitutional amendments next week with the goal of building a foundation for his fiscal plan. The first, he said, is a spending limit and savings plan to limit how much money the Legislature can spend. The second is to ensure that the Permanent Fund Dividend can’t be changed without a vote from the people. The third is to make sure that taxes can’t change without a vote from the people. Immediately after Dunleavy’s speech, multiple House Democrats provided statements through a press release expressing their See STATE, page A3

Irish music concert doubles as food drive By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion

Next month, Musicians John Walsh, Rose Flanagan and Pat Broaders will be performing together for the second time at Kenai Peninsula College for the annual Winter Concert of Traditional Irish Music. This year the concert will also be a food drive to support the college’s food pantry, which was recently revitalized thanks to two student volunteers. Originally from Ireland, Walsh plays the tenor banjo and currently travels the country with his wife, “living freely and playing music when he can.” Before hitting the road in his RV, Walsh lived in Alaska for 30 years

She currently teaches the fiddle at her own music school in New York. Flanagan and Walsh first got in touch 10 years ago when Flanagan taught at the Alaska Fiddle Camp. Last year, Walsh invited Flanagan to perform with him at the Winter Concert, and it was such a sucAriane Jasmine, Brett Knighten, Skyler Diehl and Diane Taylor cess that the invitation was expose inside the residence hall at Kenai Peninsula College’s tended this year as well.

Board of Fisheries meeting moves from KenaiSoldotna back to Anchorage By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

The 2020 Upper Cook Inlet Board of Fisheries meeting will convene in Anchorage after all. In an unexpected vote taken without much formal notice, the Board of Fisheries decided to move the 2020 regulatory meeting from the Kenai Peninsula to Anchorage. The meeting was originally going to be held in Anchorage, but a March 2018 vote moved the meeting to the Kenai-Soldotna area. At the start of the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim finfish meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 15, Board chair Reed Moriskey mentioned that the Upper Cook Inlet meeting location would be discussed. On Friday, the board reversed their March 2018 decision with a 4-3 vote, bringing the 2020 meeting back to Anchorage. Local peninsula officials, including Soldotna’s City Manager Stephanie Queen, were surprised by the sudden reversal. “After the board made the decision back in March of last year to come down to the Peninsula for the 2020 meeting we’ve been planning and making preparations to host the meetings in the Kenai-Soldotna area,” Queen said in a recorded statement to the board. “We’ve See FISH, page A2

House Speaker nominations fail on 8th day By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire

The Alaska House solidified plans for a joint session to hear new Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s State of the State Address with ease, but electing a permanent Speaker

of the House remains elusive. Tuesday marked the eighth day of the 31st Legislative Session, and the rules require Speaker Pro Tempore Neal Foster, DNome, to ask for nominations. With no majority caucus, and no House Speaker and no commit-

tees formed, the House has not been able to conduct its business. Typically, House organization is completed on the first day of session. Rep. Chuck Kopp, R-Anchorage, nominated Healy Republican Rep. Dave Talerico for

Senators, commissioners gear up for budget challenge By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire

It’s not clear when Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s budget will be released, but budget talks are already dominating conversations at the Capitol. Two of Dunleavy’s commissioner designees — Commissioner of Administration Designee John Quick and Com-

missioner of Revenue Designee Bruce Tangeman — sat in front of the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday and answered a barrage of questions from the senators. One question, from Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, was about the $1.6 billion deficit in Dunleavy’s initial budget proposal and what Tangeman made of that. Tangeman explained that

the deficit stems from having $3.2 billion in revenues forecasted (projecting oil prices to be about $64 per barrel), and from former Gov. Bill Walker’s final budget being at $4.8 billion. Tangeman said oil revenue is projected at about $2.2 billion, and revenue from the Earnings Reserve (via a percent of market value appropriation) is projected See BUDGET, page A3

Speaker of the House. House Republicans tagged him for the position in November. His election eventually failed with the House splitting the vote 20-20. Anchorage Democrat Rep. Chris Tuck nominated Rep. Bryce Edgmon. The Dillingham

Democrat led the mostly Democrat House Majority Coalition as Speaker of the House during the previous legislative session. The House never voted on Edgmon, because Tuck eventually rescinded his nomination. See HOUSE, page A3

Proposed sex ed bill would emphasize abstinence, bar discussion of contraception By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

A bill filed in the Alaska State Legislature by Rep. George Rauscher, R-Sutton, aims to regulate sex and human reproductive education in schools across the state. House Bill 7 would encourage teaching abstinence to stu-

dents and prohibit instruction about “erotic behavior” like homosexuality, gender identity, the use of contraception and sex before marriage. The legislation would also require Alaska instructors to teach that life begins at conception. In his bill, Rauscher said people who stay abstinent preSee BILL, page A2

have harmful psychological or physical effects, and that there may be social, or health benefits to abstaining from sexual activity. Rauscher also asserts in the bill that adolescent sexual activity increases the likelihood that a student will drop out of school because of sexually transmitted disease or unplanned pregnancy. The legislation would prevent instructors from teaching students about contraceptive methods and devices that may prevent sexually transmitted diseases and preg-

nancies. The bill also emphasizes the idea that bearing a child out of wedlock is likely to have harmful consequences for the child, the child’s parents and society. The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District uses several lesson plans and materials that teach both abstinence, contraceptive use and consent. Curriculum materials come from several resources, including the Homer Peer Education Team at Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic and Planned Parenthood.

At the Education Board’s Aug. 6 work session, the board reviewed resources and materials used by district health educators. The school board approves all the materials used in the district, which are all research-based and meet state requirements. Rauscher, who has been serving as a state representative since 2017, has introduced several bills this session, including one prohibiting state-funded gender reclassification medical procedures and an act relocating the state Legislature to Anchorage.

though she was present at the finfish meeting earlier on Friday to comment on the proposed move. Kenai City Manager Paul Ostrander said that he was at the meeting, talking to board members and was told that the board would not be voting on the move until later in the month. After convening for lunch and being assured by the chair that the vote would not be held that day, Ostrander and other officials returned to the peninsula. The Board of Fisheries voted

on the move by the time they were back in Soldotna, Ostrander said. Morisky pointed to several familiar reasons for moving the meeting back to Anchorage — a central location, more fishery participants and more accommodations. “I vote to have the meeting there — it is a centrally located area,” said John Jensen, a board member that voted to approve the move. “It’s halfway between Soldotna and the Wasilla area up above. You have to

remember there’s a lot of people who live in the Anchorage area both sport and commercial.” Board of Fisheries member and Soldotna resident Robert Ruffner voted against the move. “To me, this is unfair. My community has been asking this meeting for over a decade,” Ruffner said. “People have gone from diapers to college and not been able to weigh in in their community. I apologize to you in the audience who have to listen to this because it’s garbage.”

the community together. With the theme of sharing and community in mind, students at the college have incorporated a food drive for the first time into this year’s concert. The event will be free to the public as always, and the college is encouraging people to bring non-perishable food items as donations. The donations will be used to kick-start the food pantry in KPC’s residence hall, which makes these items available to all students, some of whom might struggle with obtaining food otherwise. According to a survey published by Temple University in 2018, more than a third of college students struggle with food security, and KPC is no exception to this unfortunate statistic. In an effort to alleviate this problem, KPC students Ariane Jasmine and Brett Knighten recently decided to revitalize the campus’s food pantry. Right now, the food pantry is located in a small room in one of the dorms of the residence hall and only has a handful of items. The food pantry has been around for a while according

to Knighten, but Jasmine says that its current state is “pretty dismal.” Diane Taylor, the director of the Learning Center at the college, says she is excited to see Jasmine and Knighten “breathe life” back into the food pantry and has been helping them organize the service project. Taylor says that she has tried to set up a food pantry on campus in the past, but to no avail. Because the initiative is coming from students this time, Taylor says it is much more likely to get off the ground. Knighten is a resident assistant at the residence hall, while Jasmine is a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. The two plan to run the food pantry as a coordinated effort between the resident assistants and honor society members. Beyond just providing food for students, Jasmine and Knighten also hope to combat the stigma that surrounds needing access to a food pantry. Ideas that the three had during a brainstorming session included an open door policy for the food pantry a few days a week, where

students can simply walk in and grab something they need without having to ask anyone. A lot of people are too embarrassed to actually ask, says Taylor, and an open door policy would help with that. Another idea from Taylor was to put fresh food like bananas and oranges in the sitting areas of the residence hall, making it possible for students to simply grab a piece of fruit as they walk by. Taylor already does this in the learning center with coffee, fruit, pastries and other simple items that she says can make a big difference. While still in the early planning phase of the project, Taylor and the students see the upcoming Irish Music Concert as a great opportunity to stock up the food pantry. From there, they hope to work with the local Kenai Peninsula Food Bank to keep a regular supply of food available. The Winter Concert will take place Friday, Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. in the Ward Building of KPC’s Kenai River Campus.

at about $2.9 billion. Of that $2.9 billion, Tangeman said about $1.9 billion will go to a full Permanent Fund Dividend package, based on Dunleavyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal. Adding the $2.2 billion of oil revenue to the $1 billion from the percent of market value appropriation gets to that $3.2 billion figure, he said. Tangeman said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;firm believerâ&#x20AC;? in cutting the budget to the revenue line, and said very few additional revenue streams appear to be available at the moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not immediately solving the $1.6 billion problem in

And with no House organization in order, and discussions ongoing, said he would not vote for either nominee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We clearly have no clear decisions,â&#x20AC;?

doubts about Dunleavyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to slash government services. House Speaker Pro Tempore Rep. Neal Foster, D-Nome, said he was skeptical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The vision for Alaska that Governor Dunleavy outlined tonight prompts a lot of questions about the impacts to all Alaskans,â&#x20AC;? Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huge cuts to essential services, on top of the extensive cuts already made in recent years, are concerning. I need more information to judge these proposals and look forward to hearing from administration officials in the coming days.â&#x20AC;? About 16 minutes into his 23-minute speech, Dunleavy re-

the Department of Revenue with a revenue source today,â&#x20AC;? Tangeman said. Tangeman made a passing reference during his part of the hearing to Dunleavy releasing his budget on Feb. 13, which is the final day he can do it (the governor has 30 days from the start of session to release his budget). After the meeting, Tangeman clarified in an interview afterward that he had â&#x20AC;&#x153;no clueâ&#x20AC;? when the budget was actually going to come, and that it could come sooner than Feb. 13. He said he foresees months of â&#x20AC;&#x153;entertaining and interesting discussionâ&#x20AC;? taking place with the Senate Finance Committee. Quick spoke more briefly, answering questions about his

experience as the Kenai Borough chief of staff. The Department of Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roles include administrative services in matters of finance, personnel, labor relations, property management, retirement and benefits programs, information and telecommunications systems, and more. The Senate Finance Committee members do not make recommendations about the designees one way or another, but will write up a report based on their

interviews with the designees to submit to the Senate and House of Representatives. Those bodies will then vote on whether to confirm the designees as commissioners, Senate Finance Chair Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, said. The budget will be even more central to the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next hearing, in which Office of Management and Budget Commissioner Designee Donna Arduin will be interviewed at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

that the House not fall behind during these â&#x20AC;&#x153;trying times.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would just like to see us move forward and time is of the essence. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking the House of Representatives to work together to move forward to do the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. Talericoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination failed with a 20-20 split. Notably, Republican Reps. Louise Stutes of Kodiak, Gabrielle LeDoux of Anchorage, and Knopp cast â&#x20AC;&#x153;nayâ&#x20AC;? votes. Stutes and LeDoux were part of the House Majority Coalition the previous session. Tuck withdrew his nomination after the Talerico vote, so the House did not vote on Edgmon. Foster called for a recess until

6:50 p.m. Tuck said he withdrew his nomination for Edgmon because he knew it would fail today and he wants to save that debate for the right day. Tuck said it would be difficult to predict when a majority caucus would be formed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the nice things about being here in Juneau since the election happened, is people are now being able to get to know one another feeling comfortable with one another,â&#x20AC;? Tuck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then sharing visions of what they want to see. And then the next step is how do we get there. And what positions do we take to make it happen.â&#x20AC;?

Tuck said discussions are not focused on positions at this point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing on whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out, that kind of stuff. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing on what we can accomplish this session,â&#x20AC;? Tuck said. Tuck said the representatives are trying to find common ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of it has to do with public safety, the budget, and how the earnings reserve and the Permanent Fund Dividend plays a role in all that,â&#x20AC;? Tuck said, when asked about finding common ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the big three things. Once we get that all figured out everything will be easy.â&#x20AC;?

turned to his main point of public safety. He cited statistics that Anchorageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sexual assault rate is almost five times higher than New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 132 sexual assaults per 100,000 people in Anchorage versus 28 sexual assaults per 100,000 in New York City. Protecting girls and women against violence, he said, was going to be a major priority. He introduced Scotty and Aaliyah Barr from Kotzebue, the father and sister, respectively, of Ashley Johnson-Barr. JohnsonBarr disappeared in early September and was found dead eight days later. Scotty and Aaliyah received a standing ovation from the gathered representatives and senators in attendance. Dunleavy Made multiple statements directly to those who might

commit crimes in the state, not holding back in his fervor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are a criminal, this is going to be a very dangerous place for you, starting now,â&#x20AC;? Dunleavy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I strongly suggest you get out while you can. No more coddling, no more excuses. Your days are over.â&#x20AC;? Dunleavy stated that the state would still try to provide drug treatment for those who have suffered with addiction. In many respects, Dunleavyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech stood in stark contrast to

former Gov. Bill Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s address a year ago. While Walker talked frequently about climate change and its effects on Alaska, the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;climateâ&#x20AC;? did not appear once in Dunleavyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech. While Walker extolled the importance of resource development, Dunleavy went the other way, saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alaska doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be just a resource state.â&#x20AC;? Dunleavyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech was also half the length of Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which lasted 49 minutes in 2018.

Drain the swamp? Not in the Trump admin

ate confirmation hearing Wednesday for a former coal industry lobbyist nominated to run the Environmental Protection Agency — all the more disturbing. Nominee Andrew Wheeler became acting EPA administrator after his predecessor and former boss, Scott Pruitt, resigned in July amid a cloud of self-serving ethics scandals. Wheeler, 54, doesn’t carry Pruitt’s ethical baggage, but he has devoted himself to a disciplined rollback of environmental safeguards. Wheeler is one of 188 former lobbyists working in the administration, according to ProPublica, and a foxguarding-the-hen-house example of someone regulating an industry that once paid him handsomely. Others include the acting secretary of the Interior, David Bernhardt, previously an influential lobbyist for the fossil fuel industry, and EPA senior attorney Erik Baptist, who used to work as a lobbyist and lawyer for the American Petroleum Institute. Trump replaced President Barack Obama’s ethics rules with a set he said were tougher, but which in fact allow for the liberal granting of waivers so that the swamp once again can fill with water. Among Wheeler’s consulting duties, according to the Project on Government Oversight, was hosting a fundraiser for key Republican Sen. John Barrasso, now the chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. … After more than a decade working for the Senate’s premier denier of human-caused climate change, James Inhofe of Oklahoma, Wheeler joined a consulting firm working against environmental restrictions on behalf of his top client, coal magnate Robert Murray. “He’s spent his career carrying out someone else’s agenda,” Joseph Goffman, executive director of Harvard Law School’senvironmental law program, says of Wheeler. Since Wheeler joined EPA, first as deputy and then acting administrator, the agency has worked to roll back fuel efficiency standards on vehicles, ease greenhousegas restrictions on coal-burning power plants and, in December, rescind regulations that reduce coal-plant release of mercury and other poisons. Given the Republican majority in the Senate and Trump’s avid support, Wheeler’s confirmation might be a foregone conclusion. But that doesn’t mean senators can’t use the confirmation hearing to press the nominee on a variety of important issues. After all, Wheeler isn’t a lobbyist anymore. If confirmed, he’ll be in charge of implementing environmental laws designed to protect the quality of the air Americans breathe and the water they drink. Moreover, history will judge him for what he did — or didn’t do — to head off catastrophic impacts from human-induced climate change. A daily drumbeat of reports confirms that warming oceans, melting icecaps and rising sea levels are more likely to drown coastal swamps than to drain them.

there aren’t any sidewalks,” he began one entry from the town of — no joke — Liberal, Kansas. “ D r ove Rich Lowry to Dalhart,” he continued, eschewing full sentences. “Ate at the Grill. Was last there in August of 2017. Green chile cheeseburger. The table over asked if I was Beto.” Beto writing about people asking if he’s Beto might be the most Beto thing ever. In 2019 America, it’s hard to imagine any such thing as too much sharing, but Beto is testing the limits. Not just the Instagram video of his teeth-cleaning — which was as compelling as it sounds — but his painfully open soul-searching. “Have been stuck lately. In and out of a funk,” he wrote. Hence the road trip. Maybe, he mused, “it’ll clear my head, reset, I’ll think new thoughts, break out of the loops I’ve been stuck in.” Thirty years ago, any of this would have gotten Beto laughed out of serious

base and millennials via his personal brand, while staying relatively vague on the issues. Obama pulled this off because the press was smitten with him and he was a genuinely talented politician. To this point, Beto has gotten lavishly positive coverage, but it’s not clear how long that will last if he’s running against fellow Democrats in 2020 rather than Ted Cruz in 2018. And his talent hasn’t been tested on the national stage. Beto obviously isn’t a historic candidate or an AfricanAmerican. Already, he’s been accused of dripping “with white male privilege” for leaving his wife and kids at home to go on a road trip to allegedly clear his head. Perhaps Beto doesn’t ultimately run for president, and if he does, perhaps his trip will be used against him. But can anyone say with confidence that his journey of self-discovery isn’t self-indulgent and weird enough to work in the strange new world of American politics?

presidential consideration. Today, we live in a different era, defined by the social media of which Beto is a master. Yes, his journey is completely ridiculous and has inspired criticism and parody, but people are talking about him. As Donald Trump powerfully proved in his primary run, nothing is more important. Yes, his journey is absurdly self-involved, but self-involvement is a leading 21st-century American mode. Yes, his journey is highly unorthodox, but, again, as Trump showed, successful presidential candidates always find their own way to win. The 2016 presidential race was a reminder of how authenticity is the coin of the realm. Trump, with his vast flaws, had it, and Hillary Clinton couldn’t come close to faking it. That made an enormous difference. Beto noticed. He might realize, as well, that there are different paths to the Democratic nomination.

V oices of the

P eninsula R ep . G ary K nopp November election, we never had a truly functional Republican majority in the House. Yes, 23 Republicans were elected but only 20 committed to joining the governing caucus. Those other three each had their own reasons not to sign on. But regardless of the reasons, it meant no group had enough committed House members to organize into a majority. I have spoken with many of my Republican colleagues who agree with me on the necessity of creating a solid, working coalition to move the House forward in the most effective and successful manner possible. Legislators need to resolve our personal differences to focus on taking care of Alaska. To get the job done, we need to work together to overcome the substantial challenges we face as a state — building a stronger economy, educating our children and college-age students, reducing crime and showing the public that elected officials can do their job without partisanship. My proposal is simple: Create a bipartisan coalition to govern the House. My hope is to have upwards of 24 members. A 50/50 split would be ideal. The key leadership positions would be divided evenly between Republicans and Democrats, nominated by coalition members and elected by simple majority of the coalition. During the 1st session of the 31st Legis-

lature all members would agree to the following terms: • No changes to the state’s oil and gas tax credits. • No broad-based tax proposals, such as a state income or sales tax. • Minimize the introduction of personal legislation in order to avoid distractions and hopefully to lessen the odds of extended or special sessions. Not that other issues are not important or worthy of discussion, but we need to focus all energy on the people’s top priority. Which is PFD, crime reform and the budget. We are now eight days into Alaska’s 31st legislative session and we are falling behind schedule. The House cannot organize, elect a speaker, appoint committee chairs and set a work agenda until a majority is established. It’s time we get to work. I want to assure the constituents of District 30 that I did not take my decision lightly. I knew that forcing the issue would disrupt the process and push my colleagues into making hard decisions. But I felt then, and still believe now, that at the end of the day my responsibility is to represent the people of this district to the best of my abilities. Political parties are good, but they are not the sole deciding factor. This will remain my goal as long as I have the honor of serving as your Republican Representative. I want to reassure you that conversations are ongoing daily, we are slowly moving through this process in hopes of being organized and open for business very soon! Please feel free to call the office at 907465-2693 with any questions or concerns. — Representative Gary Knopp, District 30

Nation/World Senate sets up showdown votes on shutdown By ALAN FRAM and ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Senate leaders on Tuesday agreed to vote on dueling proposals to reopen shuttered federal agencies this week, forcing a political reckoning for senators grappling with the longest shutdown in U.S. history: Side with President Donald Trump or vote to temporarily end the shutdown and keep negotiating. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. set up the two showdown votes for Thursday, a day before some 800,000 federal workers are due to miss a second paycheck. One vote will be on his own measure, which reflects Trump’s offer to trade border wall funding for temporary protections for some immigrants. It was quickly rejected by Democrats. The second vote is set for a bill approved by the Democratic-controlled House reopening government through Feb. 8, with no wall money, to give bargainers time to talk.

Both measures are expected fall short of the 60 votes need to pass, leaving little hope they represent the clear path out of the mess. But the plan represents the first test of Senate Republicans’ resolve behind Trump’s insistence that agencies remain closed until Congress approves $5.7 billion to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. For Democrats, the votes will show whether there are any cracks in the so-far unified rejection of Trump’s demand. Democrats on Tuesday ridiculed McConnell’s bill, which included temporarily extended protections for “Dreamer” immigrants, but also harsh new curbs on Central Americans seeking safe haven in the U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the GOP plan’s immigration proposals were “even more radical” than their past positions. “The president’s proposal is just wrapping paper on the same partisan package and hostage taking tactics,” offering to temporarily restore programs Trump himself tried to end in exchange

for wall funding, Schumer said. McConnell accused Democrats of preferring “political combat with the president” to resolving the 32-day partial federal shutdown. He said Democrats were prepared to abandon federal workers, migrants and all Americans “just to extend this run of political theater so they can look like champions of

the so-called resistance” against Trump. The confrontational tone underscored that there remained no clear end in sight to the closure. Amid cascading tales of civil servants facing increasingly dire financial tribulations from the longest federal shutdown in history, the Senate chaplain nudged his flock.

High court lets military implement transgender restrictions By JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration can go ahead with its plan to restrict military service by transgender men and women while court challenges continue, the Supreme Court said Tuesday. The high court split 5-4 in allowing the plan to take effect, with the court’s five conservatives greenlighting it and its four liberal members saying they would not have. The order from the court was brief and procedural, with no elaboration from the justices. The court’s decision clears the way for the Pentagon to bar enlistment by people who have undergone a gender transition. It will also allow the administration to require that military personnel serve as members of their biological gender unless they began a gender transition under less restrictive Obama administration rules. The Trump administration has sought for more than a year to change the Obama-era rules and had urged the jus-

tices to take up cases about its transgender troop policy immediately, but the court declined for now. Those cases will continue to move through lower courts and could eventually reach the Supreme Court again. The fact that five justices were willing to allow the policy to take effect for now, however, makes it more likely the Trump administration’s policy will ultimately be upheld. Both the Justice and Defense departments released

statements saying they were pleased by the Supreme Court’s action. The Pentagon said its policy on transgender troops is based on professional military judgment and necessary to “ensure the most lethal and combat effective fighting force.” Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said lower court rulings had forced the military to “maintain a prior policy that poses a risk to military effectiveness and lethality.” Before beginning to imple-

ment its policy the administration is expected to need to make a procedural filing in one case in Maryland challenging the plan. That request could be made this week. Groups that sued over the Trump administration’s policy said they ultimately hoped to win their lawsuits over the policy. Jennifer Levi, an attorney for GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders, said in a statement that the “Trump administration’s cruel obsession with ridding our military of dedicated and capable service members because they happen to be transgender defies reason and cannot survive legal review.” Until a few years ago service members could be discharged from the military for being transgender. That changed under the Obama administration. The military announced in 2016 that transgender people already serving in the military would be allowed to serve openly. And the military set July 1, 2017, as the date when transgender individuals would be allowed to enlist.

Boys school shuts down amid fallout over Washington videos

COVINGTON, Ky. — A Kentucky boys’ school shut down its campus Tuesday as a precaution and a small protest was held outside their diocese as fallout continued over an encounter involving white teenagers, Native American marchers and a black religious sect outside the Lincoln Memorial last week.

President Donald Trump tweeted early Tuesday that the students at Covington Catholic High School “have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be” but says he hopes the teens will use the attention for good, and “maybe even to bring people together.” The recorded images that initially generated outrage on social media were tightly focused on the students wearing “Make America Great Again” hats, who seemed to laugh de-

risively as they surrounded an elderly Native American beating a drum. Longer videos from wider perspectives emerged later over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend. They revealed the drummer — Omaha Nation elder Nathan Phillips — had intervened between the boys and the religious sect. That came after the teens seemed to grow rowdier and the black street preacher who had been shouting racist statements against both groups escalated his rhetoric. Soon, all sides were pointing fingers , giving their own accounts about feeling victimized and misunderstood.

“We just don’t know what the volatility of the situation is with these people that react and they don’t know the full story. And it’s very scary,” Jill Hamlin of Cincinnati, a chaperone for the boys as they attended an anti-abortion rally, told FOX News on Tuesday morning. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington said in a statement late Tuesday that local police alerted them a protest was planned. It said officials were advised to close school “due to threats of violence and the possibility of large crowds” adding they would reopen school when police “say it is safe to do so.”

MEXICO CITY — The death toll in a massive fire at an illegally tapped pipeline in Mexico rose to 93 on Tuesday after four more injured people died at hospitals. Health Secretary Jorge Alcocer said Tuesday that 46 victims who were severely burned were still in hospitals, two of them in Galveston, Texas. Some are in very poor condition. The victims were gathering gasoline from an illegal pipeline tap in the central state of Hidalgo on Friday when the gas ignited, littering an alfalfa field with charred bodies. Many suffered bad burns over much of their bodies about 22 of those who initially survived have since died of their injuries. The government reported Monday that an astonishing total of 14,894 such illegal taps had been found in 2018, an average of about 41 per day nationwide. Hidalgo had 2,121 taps, more than any other state. The fire occurred in the town of Tlahuelilpan, where 38 taps were found in 2017 and 23 in 2018. On Tuesday, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador launched a plan that includes six types of social aid programs for communities that have been the scenes of illegal taps in the past. The programs will be offered in 91 townships in nine central states where pipelines pass through. The plan includes job-training stipends, old-age supplementary payments, small, unsecured lending programs and scholarships. Some of the communities have actively helped fuel-theft gangs in the past by confronting military and police patrols, or acting as look-outs. Lopez Obrador hopes to eliminate pretexts for helping the gangs by providing opportunities for local residents in the legitimate economy. “No Mexican will be forced by necessity to participate in these activities,” Lopez Obrador said at a rally in a small town northwest of Mexico City.

Bolivia’s Morales marks 13 years in power, seeks new term LA PAZ, Bolivia — Bolivian President Evo Morales celebrated his 13 years in office on Tuesday amid controversy over whether he should be allowed to run again for the presidency. Last year, Bolivia’s top electoral court accepted Morales’ candidacy for a fourth term despite a constitutional ban and referendum against such re-election. Elections for the next five-year presidential term are set for October. Morales has presided over an unprecedented economic boom and is credited with lifting millions out of poverty, but he has lost support following allegations about manipulation of the justice system, his insistence to run for another term and corruption scandals. “It’s our greatest weakness, but I want to tell you that we will not tolerate corruption,” Morales told lawmakers without mentioning the upcoming elections. During his annual speech to Congress, Morales highlighted his government’s achievements, including economic growth in the Andean nation, which at 4.5 percent is South America’s strongest. — The Associated Press

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Jan. 23, the 23rd day of 2019. There are 342 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 23, 1845, Congress decided all national elections would be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. On this date: In 1368, China’s Ming dynasty, which lasted nearly three centuries, began as Zhu Yuanzhang was formally acclaimed emperor following the collapse of the Yuan dynasty. In 1789, Georgetown University was established in present-day Washington, D.C. In 1932, New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination. In 1933, the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the so-called “Lame Duck Amendment,” was ratified as Missouri approved it. In 1950, the Israeli Knesset approved a resolution affirming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In 1962, Jackie Robinson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Tony Bennett recorded “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” in New York for Columbia Records. In 1964, the 24th Amendment to the United States Constitution, eliminating the poll tax in federal elections, was ratified as South Dakota became the 38th state to endorse it. In 1968, North Korea seized the U.S. Navy intelligence ship USS Pueblo, commanded by Lloyd “Pete” Bucher, charging its crew with being on a spying mission; one sailor was killed and 82 were taken prisoner. (Cmdr. Bucher and his crew were released the following December after enduring 11 months of brutal captivity at the hands of the North Koreans.) In 1978, rock musician Terry Kath, a key member of the group Chicago, accidentally shot himself to death following a party in Woodland Hills, California; he was 31. In 1989, surrealist artist Salvador Dali died in his native Figueres, Spain, at age 84. In 1998, a judge in Fairfax, Virginia, sentenced Aimal Khan Kasi (eye-MAHL’ kahn KAH’-see) to death for an assault rifle attack outside CIA headquarters in 1993 that killed two men and wounded three other people. (Kasi was executed in November 2002.) In 2005, former “Tonight Show” host Johnny Carson died in Los Angeles at age 79. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama quietly ended the Bush administration’s ban on giving federal money to international groups that performed abortions or provided information on the option. New York Gov. David Paterson chose Democratic Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand (KEHR’-sten JIL’-uh-brand) to fill the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Five years ago: Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered immediate actions to define the depth of trouble inside the nation’s nuclear force, which had been rocked by disclosures about security lapses, poor discipline, weak morale and other problems. A fire at a seniors’ home in L’Isle-Verte, Quebec, Canada, killed 32 people. Pop star Justin Bieber was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, on charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license. (Bieber later pleaded guilty to careless driving and resisting arrest under a deal that spared him jail time.) One year ago: An early-morning shooting at a high school in Benton, Kentucky, left two 15-year-old students dead and more than a dozen others injured; authorities charged a 15-year-old classmate with murder and assault. LeBron James, at 33, became the youngest player in NBA history with 30,000 career points, reaching that mark during the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 114-102 loss to the San Antonio Spurs; he was the seventh player to score that many points in his career. “The Shape of Water” led the way with 13 Academy Award nominations, including one for best picture.

If they did not do that, the stump would take off in a circle flinging moose everywhere. We had an assembly line of friends and we shared every bit of moose meat. The men shot and dressed the moose, then they cut it into steaks and roast, and tough pieces into hamburger. The gals would trim and wrap the different cuts of meat and put them in a pile — usually we shared with four families. When the hamburger was ground we divided up the large amount, and put it in four different piles to wrap in freezer paper. Everyone got equal amounts. We had moose and fish in the freezer at all times. Between the four families, there were 13 or 14 kids from age baby to just barely teen. Our life was full and fun and we developed friends forever.

A bean chili that’s as rich and savory as any meat chili By America’S Test Kitchen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

marily about the beans—they should be creamy, tender, and well-seasoned. We wanted a hearty bean chili that was as rich, savory, and deeply satisfying as any meat chili out there, yet simple to make in our multicooker. Tasters preferred the creamy, tender texture of dried beans over canned, and soaking the dried beans in salted water helped them hold their shape and cook evenly. Creating big flavour in vegetarian chili can be tricky since you can’t use smoky ham hocks or bacon, but using the saute function to brown a hefty amount of aromatics and bloom spices worked well to give the chili depth. We also added white mushrooms and bell peppers for body. A cup of broth and a can of crushed tomatoes provided enough liquid for our beans to cook evenly while still resulting in a thick, hearty final stew.

Chickpeas and escarole combine for a hearty flavour combo By America’s Test Kitchen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

favoured legume to use in soup. In this version the mild bean shares the stage with escarole. We knew that dried chickpeas were the way to go for our traditional soup because we could infuse them with lots of flavour as they cooked. For aromatics, we started with the classic flavours of the region: onion, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. We also added fennel, which grows wild throughout Sicily its mild anise bite complemented the nutty chickpeas. A strip of orange zest added a subtle citrus note, while a Parmesan rind bolstered the chickpeas’ flavour with a nutty richness and complexity. When stirred in for the last 5 minutes of cooking, the escarole leaves wilted until velvety and the stems retained a slight crunch. To speed up the process if you’re tight on time, you can use our quicksalt-soak method for the beans: Combine the salt, water and chickpeas in a Dutch oven and bring them to a boil over high heat. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse the beans and proceed with the recipe. The Parmesan rind can be replaced with a 2-inch chunk of the cheese.

all their might to hold the stump down with their feet, while one more man would Continued from page A6 start the grinder. If they did not do that, the stump would take off in a circle flinging moose everywhere. We had an assembly line of friends and we shared every bit of moose meat. The men shot and dressed the moose, then they cut it into steaks and roast, and tough pieces into hamburger. The gals would trim and wrap the different cuts of meat and put them in a pile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; usually we shared with four families. When the hamburger was ground we divided up the large amount, and put it in four different piles to wrap in freezer paper. Everyone got equal amounts. We had moose and fish in the freezer at all times. Between the four families, there were 13 or 14 kids from age baby to just barely teen. Our life was full and fun and we developed friends forever. That was 50 years ago and my memories are as clear as the day I learned all about Alaskan living. I loved it and I still do! Which brings me to the next story! ABOUT BREAD MADE BY GRANDMAS 2019 January. My grandson Arleigh and my son David are home from the North Slope. They came to visit us Sunday. Arleigh piled his two little sweetie pies on his snow machine and brought them down to visit. Braleigh age 3 1/2 and Bralyn who is 4 1/2 always have smiles to greet us while the big folks talked. David and Kyianna had arrived earlier. Braleigh crawled up on my lap and I asked her what Grandma (Gail) was doing. She turned and looked at me like I should know â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making me bread to eat.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh,â&#x20AC;? I said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you going to share?â&#x20AC;? Another look of amazement came from her cute face and looking at me like I was dumb! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes â&#x20AC;&#x201C;I love it! We gonna eat it when we get home.â&#x20AC;? Turns out that they helped Grandma Gail make bread. Gail is the best bread maker around! She takes time and has the patience that I sometimes do not have. It is so very good. I bet Braleigh will grow up making bread just like Grandma!! That put a smile on my face and I remembered the first time I ate â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bread.â&#x20AC;? I was probably about Braleighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age and I was being baby sat by Grandma and Grandpa Cosgwell. I can still remember where she kept the flour and sugar in her side-cupboard with the flour and sugar bin built in. How nice the loaves looked as they rose in the pans. And how the kerosene stove smelled as it was baking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sending out the grand aroma of homebaked bread. Grandpa was in his wooden rocker with his pipe in his mouth, legs crossed waiting for the bread to cool so we could sit at the table and have a piece of warm bread. It was so hard to be patient to let it cool. Finally, Grandma would put out three small dishes and the homemade butter, cut the loaf in large slices and put each piece on our plate. Grandpa would always wait for her to sit down and then he would pick up my piece of warm bread and put a thick slather of butter on it and lay it back in my plate. I knew by instinct that I had better wait for them to get their bread buttered. Grandpa would take a big bite and look at Grandma â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the very best bread Freda, she would tell her. I had my mouth full and would agree. She would grin and say thank you Ernest. BUT the very best bread and butter at Grandmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was day-old bread for a snack â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that had a lots of butter and then grandma would remove the sugar bowl lid and take the spoon and sprinkle large amounts of sugar on my piece of bread. My mouth waters to this day!! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the little simple things that have gone from this world!! Susan shared a memory of Grandma McClureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bread (My Mom). While visiting in Colorado, Susan said that Grandma baked a loaf just for her. She ate the whole loaf, but not at one setting. She did slurp up every bit of it though! Oh great memories I have of Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bread too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; homemade butter that I got to churn in a big gallon jar by rolling it on the cupboard until it turned to butter, then we got to drink the buttermilk. We had homemade bread or biscuits at almost every meal while I was growing up Mom made our sandwiches out of her bread to take in our school lunches. Now that was extra good! Lots of mayonnaise and lunch meat with lettuce while we were in high school Mom discovered white sandwich bread from the grocery store. It must have been a wonderful time-saver for her! Her sandwiches were just as good! Bob tells me he remembers his momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bread-baking by the great smell of homemade bread. He also says he made his kids BS sandwiches to take to school. When the teacher asked one day what kind of sandwiches they ate, they replied quite innocently, â&#x20AC;&#x153;BS Sandwiches.â&#x20AC;? The teacher called the dad (Bob) and asked what he was teaching his kid? She said they were eating BS sandwiches!! Bob said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, have you never heard of butter and sugar sandwiches?â&#x20AC;? No more was said abut his kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BS sandwiches. So here I have filled this page with memories of homemade bread. Now I guess I had better bake some bread and make Bob a BS sandwich. !! Oh dear, one more story!! Helen Forshay lived on a dry-land farm in Colorado â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to far from Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the 1940s during WWII. Dad hired Helen to babysit me, Brother Sonny and Sister Ginger, while Mom worked in the fields on a tractor. Helen always brought homemade bread for everyone to eat. Dad went to take Helen something one day. She lived with her Mom and son in the middle of a fenced-in yard that was dusty and dirty with cows, hogs, chicken, geese and goats that wandered in and out of the house. Helen was kneading bread on the table when a chicken flew up on the chair back and watcher her knead bread. Dad would tell this story many times and he would say she brought it down to us and WE ATE IT!!

Can you make a flaky and crisp deep-dish pizza at home? Sure

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from the Northeast, or if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to Chicago, you may dismiss deep-dish pizza out of regional pride. That would be a mistake. Real Chicago-style pizza is certainly thick, but its texture and flavour are something special: Instead of being bread-like, the crust offers the contrast of a good biscuitâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;airy inside, lightly crisp outside, and flaky throughoutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and boasts a rich taste that holds its own under any topping. We wanted to achieve such results at home. Deep-dish pizza crust includes a fair amount of fat. Some recipes rely on oil, but we thought the rich flavour of butter was unbeatable in this crust. We found cornmeal in just about every ingredient list we reviewed, and it indeed added good earthy flavour and crunch. To achieve maximum flakiness, after mixing the dough and letting it rise, we employed a technique called laminating, which involves layering butter and dough through a sequence of rolling and folding to create ultra-flaky pastries. Adding melted butter to the pizza dough and spreading the rolled-out dough with softened butter before folding did the trick in our crust. Moving the dough into the refrigerator for its second rise

Cheesy nachos that are sure to get your party started By Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Test Kitchen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

These nachos are a cinch to make and can turn after-school snack time for a few kids into something of a fiesta. Or double the recipe and use a 13-by-9inch baking dish, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have enough nachos to really get the party started! If you like your nachos spicy, layer in some drained pickled jalapeno chiles along with the scallions. Monterey Jack cheese melts well and is the classic choice for nachos, but cheddar works too. Follow this recipe with your kids.

NACHOS Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 35 minutes Prepare Ingredients: 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans 4 ounces tortilla chips

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 2 scallions, sliced thin 1 cup tomato salsa Greek yogurt or sour cream Gather Cooking Equipment: Colander Can opener 1/2 cup dry measuring cup 8-by-8-inch square baking dish Oven mitts Cooling rack Spoon Start Cooking! Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 400 F. Set colander in sink. Open can of pinto beans and pour into colander. Rinse beans with cold water and shake colander to drain well. Measure out 1/2 cup beans refrigerate remaining beans for another use. Spread half of chips in even

ensured that the butter remained in distinct layers and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too soft. For the finishing touch on our crust, we oiled our cake pans, which made the crust crisp and even more flavourful. Following Chicago tradition, we covered the dough with shredded mozzarella before topping it with a thick tomato sauce. The cheese formed a barrier between the crust and the sauce, which prevented sogginess. A sprinkle of nutty Parmesan over the sauce provided a second layer of cheesy bite. We do not recommend mixing this dough by hand. Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the onion.

DEEP-DISH PIZZA Servings: 6-8 Start to finish: 3 to 4 hours (Rising time: 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours Baking time: 20 minutes) Dough: 3 1/4 cups (16 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour 1/2 cup (2 1/2 ounces) cornmeal 2 1/4 teaspoons instant or rapid-rise yeast 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) water, room temperature 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) softened 2 teaspoons sugar 1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) extravirgin olive oil Sauce and Toppings: 1/4 cup grated onion

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt and pepper 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes 1/4 teaspoon sugar 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil 1 pound whole-milk mozzarella cheese, shredded (4 cups) 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese For the dough: Whisk flour, cornmeal, yeast, and salt together in bowl of stand mixer. Whisk water, melted butter, and sugar in 4-cup liquid measuring cup until sugar has dissolved. Using dough hook on low speed, slowly add water mixture to flour mixture and mix until cohesive dough starts to form and no dry flour remains, about 2 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. Increase speed to medium-low and knead until dough is smooth and elastic and clears sides of bowl, about 8 minutes. Transfer dough to lightly floured counter and knead by hand to form smooth, round ball, about 30 seconds. Place dough seam side down in lightly greased large bowl or container, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (Unrisen dough can be refrigerated for at least 8 hours or up to 16 hours let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before shaping.) For the sauce and toppings: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until onion is softened and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes and sugar, bring to simmer, and cook until sauce measures 2 1/2 cups, 25 to 30 minutes. Off heat, stir in basil and remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to bowl and let cool completely before using.

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 425 F. Press down on dough to deflate and transfer to clean counter. Press and roll dough into 15 by 12-inch rectangle, with short side parallel to counter edge. Spread softened butter over dough, leaving 1/2-inch border along edges. Roll dough away from you into firm cylinder, keeping roll taut by tucking it under itself as you go. With seam side down, flatten cylinder into 18 by 4-inch rectangle. Cut rectangle in half crosswise. Working with 1 half at a time, fold dough into thirds like business letter, then pinch seams together to form rough ball. Return dough balls seam side down to greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic, and let rise in refrigerator until nearly doubled in size, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with 2 tablespoons oil each. Press and roll 1 dough ball into 13-inch round of even thickness, sprinkling dough and counter with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Loosely roll dough around rolling pin and gently unroll it into prepared pan. Gently press dough into pan, working it into corners and 1 inch up sides. (If dough resists stretching, let it relax for 5 to 10 minutes before trying to stretch it again.) Repeat with remaining dough ball. For each pizza, sprinkle 2 cups mozzarella evenly over surface of dough, spread 1 1/4 cups tomato sauce over cheese, and sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan over sauce. Bake pizzas until crusts are golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Let pizzas cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to cutting board with metal spatula.

Rivera is 1st unanimous pick to Hall By JAKE SEINER AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — This honor was saved for the one and only Mariano Rivera. Not Babe Ruth. Not Hank Aaron. Not Cy Young. Not until “The Sandman” could everyone agree. Rivera became baseball’s first unanimous Hall of Fame selection, elected Tuesday along with Edgar Martinez, Mike Mussina and the late Roy Halladay. Rivera received all 425 votes in balloting announced by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Ken Griffey Jr. held the mark for top percentage at 99.32 when he was on 437 of 440 ballots two years ago. “Beyond my imagination,” Rivera said. The quartet will be enshrined in

Cooperstown along with Today’s Game Era Committee selections Harold Baines and Lee Smith on July 21. Rivera is baseball’s career saves leader with 652. With a steady demeanor and a fearsome cut fastball, he won five World Series over 19 seasons with the New York Yankees. He was always at his best in October, getting 42 saves with a 0.70 ERA over 16 postseasons, including 11 saves in the World Series. Halladay, an ace with the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies, got 85.4 percent and will be the first posthumous inductee since Deacon White in 2013 and Ron Santo in 2012. Halladay died in November 2017 at 40 years old when an airplane he was flying crashed into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Florida. Martinez was a .312 hitter over 18 seasons with Seattle. He got 85.4 percent in his 10th and final try on the writ-

ers’ ballot. He and Baines will join 2014 inductee Frank Thomas as the only Hall of Famers to play the majority of their games at designated hitter. David Ortiz will be eligible in 2022. “I think the fact that Harold Baines and me got in this year is going to help the future of the DH for years to come,” Martinez said. Mussina was a steady right-hander for the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles who went 270-153 with 2,813 strikeouts over 18 seasons. He received 76.7 percent, getting seven more votes than the 319 required for election. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens made gains but again fell short in their seventh times on the ballot. Bonds got 59.1 percent and Clemens 59.5, their cases muddied by steroid accusations. Rivera grew up in Panama the son of a fisherman. He signed with New York in 1990, debuted in the majors as

a 25-year-old in 1995 and a year later emerged as one of the game’s best relievers. Part of a core that included Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada, Rivera helped the Yankees win four World Series from 19962000 and another in 2009. “The scouting report was the same every time,” Jeter wrote at The Players’ Tribune. “Mo knew he was going to throw that cutter. The guy at the plate knew he was going to throw that cutter. Fifty thousand plus at Yankee Stadium knew he was going to throw that cutter. And it wouldn’t matter.” The Yankees didn’t even wait until Rivera’s final game to retire his No. 42 — he was the last player in the major leagues to wear that number, grandfathered to him when No. 42 was retired in honor of Jackie Robinson in 1997. “Wearing No. 42, representing Jackie Robinson, I assume he was the

first No. 42 elected,” Rivera said. “To be the last No. 42 elected to the Hall of Fame, and unanimously, is amazing.” Though his music taste skews more Christian rock than heavy metal, Rivera toed the Yankee Stadium rubber to Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” for much of his career. “The Sandman” became synonymous with the song’s foreboding guitar riff, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers performed it live at Yankee Stadium in 2013 before one of Rivera’s final home games. Like all the bats he sawed off with that dastardly cutter, Rivera shattered an 83-year-old standard with his selection. Ruth, Young and the game’s other early stars fell short of unanimous election in the first ballot in 1936 because of a backlog of worthy candidates. With the bar set so high, some writers began leaving worthy first-year players off their ballots.

SoHi sweeps Nikiski By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The anticipated battle entering Tuesday night’s hoops showdown between two of the best girls teams on the peninsula didn’t quite live up to the hype. The Soldotna girls made sure of that. The Stars let loose in a 5029 nonconference meeting with Nikiski in the Soldotna High gym, propelled by a sec-

ond quarter spurt that paved the way to victory against a very familiar opponent. “We grew up with them,” said SoHi senior Danica Schmidt. “All the seniors know them. It’s a small peninsula.” Schmidt pumped in 10 points and some timely plays down the stretch to help the Stars win, while sister Aliann Schmidt scored a game-high 15 points for SoHi and junior Ituau Tuisaula bullied the

paint en route to eight points, four days after sustaining an upper lip injury against the Colony Knights. The victory kept Soldotna’s undefeated season alive at 12-0, while Nikiski slipped to 11-2 overall, it’s only other loss being an overtime game. Danica Schmidt and much of the rest of the SoHi varsity are teammates on the club levels of basketball with many Nikiski players, but on Soldotna’s Danica Schmidt (top) puts up a block on Nikiski’s Bethany Carstens Tuesday night See PREP, page A9 in a nonconference game at Soldotna High School.

No. 5 Michigan takes down Minnesota at buzzer By The Associated Press

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Charles Matthews made a baseline floater at the buzzer to lift No. 5 Michigan to a 59-57 win over Minnesota on Tuesday night after the Golden Gophers scored 10 straight points to tie the game late. On the final possession, Iggy Brazdeikis drove to the basket and had his shot blocked by Eric Curry, but the ball bounced right to Matthews to the left of the rim and he had time to release a shot that went high in the air and dropped through with no time remaining. The shot by Matthews was clearly released before the game clock expired, but the shot clock was a much closer call. After a long review, officials ruled the shot was released before the shot clock expired. Michigan (18-, 7-1 Big Ten) was down seven before using a 23-3 run to take the lead. Gabe Kalscheur’s 3-pointer tied it at 57 for Minnesota (14-5, 4-4) with 30.9 seconds remaining. No. 2 DUKE 79, PITTSBURGH 64

Duke held Pitt to 41 percent shooting, outrebounded the Panthers 39-34 and wasn’t in any real danger after a surge midway through the first half. Trey McGowens led Pitt with 14 points, Jared Wilson-Frame and Terrell Brown added 12 each but the Panthers simply couldn’t match Duke’s size or firepower.

No. 3 VIRGINIA 68, WAKE FOREST 45 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Kyle Guy and Jay Huff scored 12 points each, and Virginia opened with a 25-3 run in a victory against Wake Forest. De’Andre Hunter and Mamadi Diakite had 11 points each for the Cavaliers (171, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who bounced back from a 72-70 loss at No. 2 Duke on Saturday. The victory was Virginia’s seventh in a row in the series against Wake Forest and their 12th in a row overall at John Paul Jones Arena. Brandon Childress led the Demon Deacons (8-10, 1-5) with 12 points, and Olivier Sarr had 11.

Kentucky answered with scoring 18 of the next 25 points over the next 6:50, helped by Herro’s three free throws and consecutive 3s by Immanuel Quickley and Washington, for a double-digit advantage it maintained.

Hertl completes hat trick as Sharks top Caps By The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Tomas Hertl completed his hat trick by scoring in overtime, and the San Jose Sharks withstood Alex Ovechkin’s three goals to beat the Washington Capitals 7-6 on Tuesday night and hand the defending Stanley Cup champions their sixth consecutive defeat. Hertl scored 2:48 into the 3-on-3 session, and a handful of hats were tossed onto the ice. Many more cascaded down earlier after Ovechkin’s third hat trick this season and 23rd of his career, but that came in a losing effort because of Evander Kane’s dramatic goal that helped the

the high school level, the two sides are fiercely competitive with each other. “We’ve never dominated them before, so it’s cool to do that,” Schmidt said. “Those two Colony wins pumped us up.” SoHi head coach Kyle McFall said the two senior classes — namely Soldotna’s Brittani Blossom and the Schmidt sisters, and Nikiski’s Bethany Carstens, Emma Wik and Kelsey Clark — lift the level of competition when they face off on the high school court. “It’s a big rivalry between those two classes,” McFall said. SoHi made life difficult for the Bulldogs by using their size and length to subdue an otherwise potent Nikiski offense. Reigning Class 3A Player of the Year Bethany Carstens was held to 12 points, the most for Nikiski. Kelsey Clark chipped in seven. First-year Bulldogs head coach Rustin Hitchcock said SoHi’s game plan consistently caught Nikiski on its heels. “It’s one of those matchups that if you play it 10 times, we’d go 5-5 (against SoHi),” Hitchcock said. “Tonight they were able to adjust to what we were trying to do, and we just kept taking long, quick shots that missed and led to rebounds for them.” After a very even first quarter that ended with both teams tied at 7-all, SoHi began to build a lead, starting with a pair of foul shots by Brittani Blossom that gave the Stars a 13-11 lead. A layup by Angela Druesedow tied it but Tuisaula responded quickly with a post shot with 4:42 left in the half.

Sharks end their three-game skid. With goaltender Martin Jones pulled for an extra attacker, Kane beat Braden Holtby with a second left in regulation for his second of the night. Holtby allowed seven goals on 43 shots in what was not one of the All-Star goalie’s finest performances. Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture also scored for San Jose, which has allowed six goals in each of its past four games. T.J. Oshie, Andre Burakovsky and Evgeny Kuznetsov also scored for Washington, which has lost six in a row for the first time since the 2013-14 season. That started a 13-4 run to the halftime buzzer that included two big buckets by Morgan Bouschor and a 3-pointer by Schmidt, putting SoHi ahead 26-17 at the break. “I wouldn’t say we (panicked), but you could just feel it sliding,” Hitchcock said. “Ultimately they outplayed us.” McFall said SoHi began forcing Nikiski into mistakes and turnovers and making sure that Carstens wasn’t getting any easy looks. “The girls slowed down and recognized the triangle two defense he was running, and started executing our counter to that,” McFall said. “Spread the floor, look for the dive cuts, look for the shallow cuts on the baseline.” Two quick buckets down low by Aliann Schmidt in the early minutes of the third quarter were followed by a big trey by Blossom and a hook shot by Tuisaula with 4:31 left in the quarter that pushed the lead to 35-17. Overall, SoHi outscored Nikiski 35-16 in the second and third quarters combined. Another triple by Danica Schmidt with 3:53 left in the quarter made it a 38-19 game. Carstens pulled some of the gap back in the fourth quarter but it was too much to overcome. Soldotna boys 51, Nikiski 46 Ray Chumley drained two free throws with 4.4 seconds left to seal a nonconference win Tuesday night over the Bulldogs. Soldotna (6-6 overall) staved off an early scare by Nikiski (5-8), which pulled out a 20-8 lead in the second quarter against its 4A counterpart. The Bulldogs led 35-31 en-

BLACKHAWKS 3, ISLANDERS 2, SO CHICAGO — Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane scored in the shootout as Chicago halted New York’s five-game winning streak. Toews scored on a backhander and Kane beat Robin Lehner between the pads after nearly pulling to a stop. Cam Ward stopped Josh Bailey and Mathew Barzal to give the Blackhawks their second straight victory following a fivegame slide. Toews and Dylan Strome scored power-play goals in regulation for Chicago. Strome connected during a 5-on-3 advantage in the second period to end the Islanders’ shutout streak at 158 minutes, 58 seconds. Valtteri Filppula and Barzal

tering the fourth quarter but SoHi charged to the front in the span of 12 seconds, starting with a 3-pointer by Chumley. On the ensuing inbound pass by Nikiski, Zach Hanson caught the steal and laid it up for a bucket that gave SoHi a 36-35 lead, its first lead since the early first quarter. “We played better in the second half,” said SoHi head coach Nolan Rose. Rose said a combination of Tuesday’s contest between sandwiched between two weekends of conference action for SoHi, combined with the Stars’ contentment that they could beat a 3A team like Nikiski, led to the early deficit. “They’re a great opponent,” Rose said. “If you overlook a team like Nikiski, especially against a player like Jace Kornstad, they can beat you.” Kornstad scored a teamhigh 16 points for Nikiski, while teammate Noah Litke chipped in 13 and Cody Handley had nine. SoHi was led by junior Jersey Truesdell’s 23 points and Chumley’s 12. Kornstad scored six points in an early 8-2 run for the Bulldogs in the first and second quarters, helping Nikiski to a 29-18 halftime lead as the visitors enjoyed hot shooting from the field. The Stars quickly cut into the gap coming out of the halftime break, getting it down to 33-29 by the midpoint of the third quarter. A breakaway layup at the third-quarter buzzer by Chumley slashed the Nikiski lead to 35-31, setting up the two-play sequence that gave the Stars the lead at 36-35. Another big triple by Truesdell with 5:42 to go made it a 41-37 game with SoHi leading, but the Bulldogs never went away. A trey by Korns-

scored in regulation for the Metropolitan Division leaders, who lost for just the third time in 15 games. Ward stopped 34 shots through overtime. Lehner made 38 saves for the Islanders, who came into the game off two straight shutouts. Chicago’s Alex DeBrincat had two assists and Kane had one to extend his point streak to nine games.

Oliver Kylington and Mark Jankowski also scored for the Flames, who finished 9-1-1 in January. David Rittich made 33 saves to improve to 8-0-2 in his last 10 starts. Sebastian Aho tied it for Carolina with 44 seconds left in regulation. Dougie Hamilton also scored for the Hurricanes, and Peter Mrazek stopped 22 shots. It was the first game between the teams since Bill Peters reFLAMES 3, signed as coach of the Hurricanes HURRICANES 2, OT after four seasons and was hired by CALGARY, Alberta — Mikael the Flames in April 2018.

However, Brock Kant hit one of two free throws with 20 seconds left to boost the gap to three, and Chumley iced it with 4.4 seconds left following an empty Nikiski possession that included two 3-point attempts by Kornstad and Litke. Kenai girls 63, Homer 27 The host Kardinals cruised to a Southcentral Conference victory over the Mariners on Tuesday, taking a 12-4 lead after a quarter and a 32-16 lead after two quarters.

Kiss shared with a co-worker puts marriage on shakier ground DEAR ABBY: I dated a man I’ll call Mike for several years. We eventually broke up because of distance and a difference of opinion about where we wanted to live. I also had developed a crush on a female friend, which contributed to my decision to Abigail Van Buren break off with him. The crush didn’t work out. Now, more than a year later, Mike and I are close friends. I visited him recently and realized I still have feelings for him. I want to get back together, but I don’t think I should say it unless I am 100 percent certain I won’t break up with him again. Abby, I wonder if I might be gay. I don’t know what to do. I love Mike, but I’m paranoid that I’ll eventually regret getting back together with him. I couldn’t betray his trust again. What should I do?

If you and Mike have worked through your other differences, only the two of you can decide whether to resume your relationship or just be friends. (Friendships have been known to sometimes last longer than romantic relationships.)

DEAR ABBY: My question is, is it ethical to “try” the fruit at the grocery store? I am amazed at the number of shoppers who open the bags of grapes and help themselves to a snack. Shouldn’t they buy without sampling?

-- CRAIG IN FLORIDA DEAR CRAIG: Theoretically, shoppers should buy without sampling. Talk to the manager of the grocery store about it. Some establishments leave a bag of grapes, cherries, etc. open for shoppers to sample to see if they would like to buy. If that’s not happening in the store you patronize, consider suggesting it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your creativity bubbles up and clears out, but it does not seem to be impeded by the confusion and negativity around you. Overall, you will have some choices to make.

ONIONS AND PEPPERMINT Dear Heloise: I read your column in The Wayne Independent in Pennsylvania. Regarding onions being cut with tears, I suck on peppermint candy while cutting up onions, and it works for me. -- Bernard B., Beach Lake, Pa. CUPBOARD CLEANING Dear Heloise: My kitchen cupboards are built in such a way that I can’t always get to the back areas, so I bought a toilet brush. I wrap a damp dish towel around it and use it to get to the hard-to-reach areas. Works like a charm. -- April D., Bozeman, Mont. VINEGAR Dear Heloise: I absolutely love all of your hints, but my favorite has got to be the use of vinegar. I keep a spray bottle filled with vinegar and use it to clean fresh fruits and vegetables. I also use it on stubborn stains on my floors and countertops. -- Anne F., Dexter, Mo. Anne, so glad you like my column! I have several great hints for vinegar in my pamphlet Heloise’s Fantabulous Vinegar Hints and More. To get a copy, send a stamped (71 cents), self-addressed, long envelope, along with $5, to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Or you can order it online at www.Heloise.com. Do you have an aluminum pot that is stained? Pour 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water into the pot and boil away the stain. Wash, rinse and dry. -- Heloise RECIPES Dear Heloise: I’ve discovered that you don’t always have to use oil when making breads or cakes. I pour about 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil in a measuring cup, and the rest I fill with mashed bananas, applesauce or some other fruit that I have on hand. This makes for some very tasty recipes. -- Linda M., Pauls Valley, Okla.

-- COWARD IN THE SOUTH DEAR COWARD: Not knowing you, I can’t determine whether you may be having a midlife crisis. However, you definitely do need to talk to your husband, if only to ask if he feels the same emptiness that you do. It would be better for both of you if you tried counseling to see if it’s possible to heal your marriage before you run out the door. I caution you about involving yourself in a workplace romance while you are feeling this needy. If it doesn’t work out -- and most of them

don’t -- you could find yourself not only without a husband but also a job.

2019 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

DEAR ABBY: I may be having a midlife crisis. I’m not happy in my marriage and haven’t been for quite some time. I pray every night that my husband will find someone else so he will leave our marriage. I tried to leave him before, but financially I couldn’t make it. I’m now at the point where I don’t care about the financial side of it. I recently kissed a co-worker. It was really hot, heavy and I want more. I haven’t felt this alive in years. My co-worker is not the reason I want a divorce, but now, feeling desired by someone makes me want out even more. But I’m a coward. I don’t know how to tell my husband I’m no longer in love with him.

Work continues on the Freedom House for men

Volunteers continue work on the Freedom House for men’s recovery in Soldotna. # 017:SPD Chief Peter Mlynarik volunteers his time helping to complete the Freedom House for men.

Freedom House Founder Jennifer Waller organizes the volunteer effort to remodel a house for men in recovery.

With a heart and a vision to help other women get leg up on their addictions, Jennifer Waller with no state or federal dollarsunited the faith-based community to purchase and remodel a home in Soldotna. Freedom House opened its doors in 2017 and just a year later Waller felt called to meet a similar need for men in the community. “We know that the need is as great for men in our community to have a safe place to live and be discipled and learn a new way ofliving without drugs and alcohol. So that’s what we’re doing here is opening an eight-bed home for men

At the women’s home we have threewomen staffers and that’s where I will remain based out of. We are totally faith based, we have scriptures written into the walls ofthis house on the two-by-fours that will be sheet rocked over, because this is God’s house and I’m just walking in obedienceand opening doors for those who want to help themselves,” she said. The purchase and renovations will total up to over a half-a-million-dollar invest-

coming out ofaddiction,” said Waller during a recent volunteer work day at the house that is being remodeled near the CES and Soldotna Policestation. The success of the Freedom House for women in the last year is something that documentaries are made of. “In the 19 months that we have been open at the women’s home we’ve had 42 women and eight children live at Freedom House,and since we first opened we’ve opened up what we call the Hope Wing, which is two apartments for mom’s with children as they are transitioning out of the residential

side and getting their kiddos back they get to live in a safe, accountable apartment. “The miracle stories are amazing. We’ve seen over 40 children re-united with mothers in less than two years. We’re seeingfamilies restored and marriages healed and all by the grace of God as they walk in their new freedom,” she explained. According to Waller, they will be using the same faithbased model at the men’s house that has proven successful at thewomen’s facility. “It’s the same board of directors, the same organization, it’s just a brother’s house.

Waller said that in short time they have been open two of their alumni women are now living on their own in their ownapartments and are giving back to Freedom House by preparing meals. “Our alumni return to tell their stories and give back and are a huge part of our program,” she said. As construction continues, Waller says the need for volunteers and donations never wanes. “As we open the men’s house we will need men as mentors, men that want to employ these men that will be looking for jobs andwill need to learn trades and skills that will get them ready for employment. That kind of help will be great. These guys will needhelp their past has been tough. This community is where I had my 10-year addiction, where I runned and gunned and did all thebad stuff, but now this is the community that I get to pour back into and show that there is hope, freedom, forgiveness and Hisname is Jesus and it’s been nine and a half years since I have used, drank or done drugs.

She stated that the newtechnology and work stations that have been installed are state of the art and will result in quicker response for emergencyresponders in knowing the location of where they need to be in critical situations. She also expressed appreciation to Marathonfor the grant. “Quicker response service clearly is an advantage in any emergency,” said the mayor. “We now have a mapping feature that willhelp the emergency responders locate the incident so that they know where they are going quicker.
