In the news Keith Miller, Alaska’s third governor, dies at 94

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Keith Miller, who served as Alaska’s third governor, has died. He was 94. His step-daughter, Carol Slater, confirmed Miller died of pancreatic cancer while in hospice care Saturday in Anchorage. Miller was serving as Alaska’s secretary of state when Gov. Wally Hickel was selected by President Richard Nixon to be the secretary of the U.S. Interior. Alaska didn’t have a lieutenant governor position then. Alaska came into sudden wealth under Miller’s governorship when an oil lease sale on the North Slope fetched $900-million. Miller served as governor for two years, losing to Gov. William Egan in 1970. Miller ran again in 1974, only to lose in the Republican primary. Born March 1, 1925, in Seattle, he moved to Alaska in 1946 and homesteaded in the Talkeetna area.

KPEDD Director talks 2020 Census By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion

Every 10 years, the federal government collects census data to determine the population and demographic information of every region in the country. With the 2020 Census just around the corner, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly asked the Kenai Peninsula Economic Development Disctrict to lead the data collection efforts on the peninsula. KPEDD Executive Director Tim Dillon gave a presentation on Tuesday’s Assembly meeting to discuss this and other projects being undertaken by KPEDD. Dillon said during his presentation that KPEDD is currently putting together an outreach committee to increase awareness of the census and encourage participation. Representatives from each peninsula community will begin outreach

efforts in April, Dillon said while during an interview Thursday. According to Dillon, an accurate census count is important because it ensures that federal dollars for social programs and loans go where they are most needed. “We need to make sure that people are counted and counted correctly, because it means dollars in the long run,” said Dillon during the presentation. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s website, more than $675 billion in federal funds is distributed annually based directly on the information collected by the decennial census. The census also determines how congressional districts are drawn, which means that an inaccurate count could leave communities with inadequate or inaccurate representation. Because the census asks very specific and personal questions — including the

number of men, women and children in a home — people are sometimes hesitant to respond. Dillon said that the goals of KPEDD’s outreach com-

mittee are to counteract that reluctance and increase awareness about the local benefits provided by accurate census counts. “It’s about education

more than anything else,” said Dillon. Beyond the census project, Dillon updated the assembly on the staSee TALK, page A2

Vance fields heated questions at town hall By MEGAN PACER Homer News

Homer area residents were restless to say the least on Saturday while they attended a town hall put on by Rep. Sarah Vance (R-Homer) at Kachemak Bay Campus. They asked questions out of turn, spoke over one another, interrupted Vance and in some cases shouted at her during the tense, two-hour event. They wanted answers to questions about the deep cuts Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s

proposed budget would make to public services — answers the freshman representative said she doesn’t have because the Alaska House is only just starting its work of examining the proposed budget. The House took a record number of 31 days to elect a leader and get organized, something Vance said she was just as frustrated about as her constituents. Hundreds of people showed up to speak with Vance at the meeting in a large classroom in Pioneer Hall. Those who didn’t get

there early enough spilled out of the room on the upper floor and into the lobby. Many of them were there to talk about funding for public education. “Our schools are the lifeblood of our community,” said Mike Illg, a member of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Board of Education. Illg told Vance it’s likely the school district will have to cut sports, school pools, school theaters and more under the proposed budget. See VANCE, page A2

Nominee haunted Highway closure planned by ghoulish past By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — Past ghosthunting experiences have come back to haunt a man picked by Gov. Mike Dunleavy to serve on a compensation board for crime victims. John Francis hasn’t shied away from the topic, voluntarily bringing it up during a House hearing last week and

calmly fielding pointed questions during a Senate hearing Wednesday. In an interview Thursday, he spoke of a lifechanging event in which he felt the soul of a man “go through my body.” Francis said he was somewhat surprised by how much attention the ghost hunting has gotten. He said he expected more questions on criminal activity he was See GHOST, page A2

A portion of the Sterling Highway will be closed from March 11 to March 18, according to the Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT). The highway will be closed at Mile Post 106 just north of Kasilof as crews work to replace the Coal Creek Culvert. Drivers will have to use Kalifornsky Beach Road as a detour while this portion of the highway is closed, according to the DOT’s website. This road closure and culvert repair

is part of a larger project to widen the shoulders of Sterling highway from Mile Post 97 to Mile Post 118. The project will also install large-diameter culverts at Slikok Tributary, Crooked Creek and Clam Gulch. All construction related to this project is scheduled to be finished by October of this year, according to the public notice. Anyone residing in construction zones who may require special accommodations can contact the DOT Highway Construction Engineer at 907-269-0450. For all other questions, call the DOT hotline at 907-262-1042.

. . . Vance Continued from page A1

Several people who spoke about education warned that, if it’s cut as drastically as is proposed in Dunleavy’s budget, the state will just end up having to funnel more money into prisons and public safety later on. Todd Hindman, principal of Fireweed Academy, said his school would be in a unique position if the proposed cuts to education went through. Because Fireweed is a public charter school, Hindman said the school is in control of its own budget. However, that also means the school can’t share any of its costs throughout the rest of the school district. “A 20 percent cut would mean a $340,000 reduction in our funding equal to three, to three and a half certified teachers,” he said. “We only have seven certified teachers serving 120 kids. We can’t take that impact on our

involved in many years ago, which he said included burglary and insurance fraud, though he acknowledged there were time constraints on Wednesday’s hearing. During that hearing, Eagle River Republican Sen. Lora Reinbold focused on Francis’ ghost hunting and his thoughts on the paranor-

budget.” Hindman warned that if schools suffer under budget cuts, the rest of the community they serve will also suffer, because one of the first things families look at when considering where to move is the quality of local schools. This will lead to a negative feedback loop, he said. Several students from both Homer High School and Kachemak Bay Campus spoke to the same issue. Sophie Morin, a junior at Homer High, said local students are the people who will go on to seek jobs within the state and contribute back to Alaska. “If we don’t get proper funding for a proper education, there is not much here for us,” she said. “… Without a well educated public, where are we going to be?” Homer High senior Anna Bock echoed these sentiments. A participant in JumpStart classes through KBC that allow high school students to take college classes, she already has several

college credits racked up. She said this helpful way for people to reach higher education will be gone under the proposed cuts. “We want to come back,” he said of the prospect of going out of state for school. “So give us something to come back to.” Jesse Roach, another Homer senior, said he’s spent most of him life in Alaska communities where his mom taught special education. Recently though, she spent six years living and going to school in Oklahoma. “The Oklahoma schools had been gouged for money,” he said. “And if you take away education, there is no development. That is what I have seen with my eyes. … There are no educated people to make the development.” The textbooks at his old school still listed George. W. Bush as the current president, Roach said. “I don’t want to see anything like that here,” he said. “This is how it starts, with these cuts to a functioning

school system.” During discussion of the education budget, Vance appeared to get emotional, holding back tears as she thanked the people at the town hall representing the education sector. She reminded the crowd that she has four children who are students in the district, both through home schooling and enrolled in the public school system. Later in the town hall, Vance came under intense scrutiny for whether she supports Dunleavy’s budget as it currently stands. “The budget is not a take it or leave it,” she said. “The question is, do you support this budget,” a member of the crowd countered. “As is,” shouted out another. “It’s a simple yes or no!” another member of the crowd shouted. “It is not a yes or no,” Vance said. “… If it were simply a yes or no question there would be no need for a Legislature.”

state for outstanding commitment to their local communities. “We’re very pleased that he’s going to be receiving that honor,” said Dillon. In January KPEDD published an Emergency Planning Questionnaire to get feedback from local businesses on how prepared they are in the event of natural disasters or other emergencies. Dillon said that the 30-question survey is meant as both data collection for

KPEDD and a way for businesses owners to determine how prepared – or unprepared – they actually are. According to the presentation, less than 50% of respondents said that they have a disaster plan in place. Only 50% of those with disaster plans have actually tested those plans to ensure they work. Finally, KPEDD will be updating its website to include interactive displays of their Situations and Prospects Reports. These reports

are comprehensive provide comprehensive economic and demographic data that is compiled by KPEDD annually. Dillon said during the presentation that many people have expressed interest in seeing how their city or community’s economy directly compares to others on the peninsula, so KPEDD’s updated website will have this information accessible as well. The new website is scheduled to be up and running by July 1 of this year.

mal. She said she has been contacted by people concerned about the matter. “If it’s just for fun and all make believe, tell me that. If you’re serious and there’s investigative process and you believe this is real, I want to know that,” Reinbold said. “I really don’t want you to glaze over this because I think this is a real serious concern.” Francis, who testified via telephone, explained setting up recorders in people’s

homes as part of the investigations. He said what is found is almost always explainable and that sharing that provides a measure of comfort for those homeowners. Reinbold asked if Francis believes in paranormal activities. He said he believed Jesus rose from the dead. Reinbold later told him that she would not support his nomination. Francis is the latest Dunleavy nominee to raise eyebrows. A Dunleavy Cabinet member resigned after being

accused of lying about his business background and a Board of Regents nominee withdrew after facing scrutiny over her social media activity, which included sharing derogatory tweets about former first lady Michelle Obama and two Muslim congresswomen. A candidate for a judicial conduct commission is drawing questions about a recall effort he faced while serving as a school board president.

What Others Say

USA Today on gun control Gary Martin was exactly the kind of person that gun control background checks — a federal system now 25 years old — was designed to catch. It failed. Again. In Mississippi in 1994, Martin stabbed his girlfriend with a kitchen knife, beat her with a baseball bat, and warned “we are all going to die” if she left him. He should have never been able to buy a gun after that. But many years later, shopping for a gun in Illinois, Martin lied about his criminal past, and a federal background check missed his felony aggravated assault conviction and prison term in Mississippi for attacking his girlfriend. Martin bought himself a Smith & Wesson .40-caliber handgun. Illinois authorities later discovered the error and revoked Martin’s firearm permit. But all that happened next was a letter from the state police telling him to give up his gun. Despite the state’s tough gun laws, he didn’t. Instead, in February, as he was being fired from a warehouse job in Aurora, Martin used his Smith & Wesson to kill five co-workers and wound five police officers before being shot to death. Last week, two important pieces of gun control legislation passed the House of Representatives. One closes the so-called gun show loophole by requiring universal background checks, an idea favored by 85 percent of Americans. The other extends the background review period from three days to 10, allowing more time for disqualifying records to be found. Both bills have an unlikely future in the Republican-controlled Senate. But improvements of any kind will ultimately fall short when existing laws are not vigorously applied. Americans can hardly be expected to get behind new gun laws when authorities keep bungling old ones. The Brady Law of 1993, mandating the criminal-background check, has never been adequately enforced. (The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, administered by the FBI, was established in 1998 in response to Brady.) Nearly 1.5 million people have been denied firearms under the system. But unlawful purchases still occur because agencies fail to provide NICS with necessary records or don’t follow up when mistakes are made. And people keep dying. The Air Force failed to notify NICS about the criminal record of a discharged airman who then bought an assault-style rifle and killed 26 people at a Texas church in 2017. Travis Reinking’s guns were taken away in 2017 after a White House trespassing incident. Police gave them to his father, and investigators said Reinking later used one of them to allegedly murder four random people at a Waffle House near Nashville last year. A report last year found 112,000 cases in 2017 where people lied about their backgrounds to buy a gun, a potential felony. Only 12 cases were prosecuted. Of the 10,818 people in Illinois like Martin who had their gun licenses revoked last year, more than 8,000 kept their illegal guns. According to the Chicago Tribune, 10 people were arrested for the offense. Some progress has been made. Last year, Congress passed legislation offering incentives to state and local agencies to improve NICS compliance. But the Justice Department told The Wall Street Journal that states have yet to submit millions of records to the FBI. Federal record submissions have increased by 400 percent, but a requirement that military service branches like the Air Force do a better job of reporting criminal backgrounds has not been met. The Department of Homeland Security has also failed to abide by the law. The nation is awash in firearms. The least that federal, state and local agencies can do is enforce existing laws preventing the violent and the mentally ill from acquiring guns.

Yes, there’s a crisis at the border

We interrupt the talk of the president “manufacturing” a crisis at the border with this hair-raising report about the crisis at the border. Alarming new numbers about border apprehensions from U.S. Customs and Border Protection should puncture the lazy conventional wisdom about the border being under control, except in the lurid imagination of President Donald Trump. More than 76,000 migrants were apprehended crossing the southern border last month, the highest February in more than 10 years and the highest month of the Trump administration. The number of apprehensions tops any month during the 2014 border surge under President Barack Obama, which no one had a problem calling a crisis at the time. Every indication is that the situation is going to get worse. We could be about to experience a migrant surge worthy of Angela Merkel at her most openhanded, even though, in immigration terms, Viktor Orban -- the Hungarian prime minister who favors tough border enforcement -- is president. Yes, there were more overall apprehensions in the 2000s. But it was a different population, made up overwhelmingly of adult males from Mexico who might be apprehended trying to cross multiple times and were reliably returned home when they were caught. Now, we are apprehending people but not returning them. Migrants are coming in greater numbers from Central American coun-

tries instead of Mexico, and are primarily families and children. In an astonishing shift, in 2012, 10 percent of apprehended migrants were Rich Lowry families and children; in recent months, it’s been 61 percent. The rules for dealing with migrants from noncontiguous countries and with family units make it all but impossible to swiftly return or detain them, not to mention that our physical facilities were built with single adults in mind. There is no mechanism to return these migrants home, to hold them after they cross the border, or to remove them once they are in the interior. And word has gotten out. There’s a reason that the subset of migrants that we can’t stop from getting into the country is growing so rapidly. Needless to say, a spiraling border crisis is maddening for a president committed to controlling the border, which is why we’ve seen such frenetic activity from Trump. He’s tried to prosecute all adults crossing the border illegally, and had to abandon it in the (understandable) firestorm over the resulting family separations. He’s tried to jawbone Mexico into helping, with some success, although migrants are still traveling through Mexico in large numbers.

He’s tried to tighten up asylum policy but been blocked in the courts. He’s tried to get Congress to fix the rules for dealing with migrants, to no avail. And, of course, he’s tried to build a wall. Trump’s rhetoric may be over the top, but the impulse to get a handle on this is absolutely correct. First, there’s the question of basic sovereignty. If we are going to welcome a large number of migrants from three or four foreign countries, we should make that decision as a conscious policy, rather than slip-sliding into it unawares. Then there’s the matter of assimilation and legality. Poorly educated immigrants, like the ones coming from Central America, have the hardest time assimilating, and they will lack legal status on top of it. Finally, there’s the humanitarian question. Migrant families show up needing medical attention that we aren’t well-prepared to provide. We’d be much better positioned to tend to the migrants under our care if the numbers weren’t overwhelming. But we are at a stalemate. The New York Times editorialized the other day that Trump declared “that there’s a crisis at the border, contrary to all evidence.” Then, the paper ran a news story headlined, “Border at ‘Breaking Point’ as More than 76,000 Migrants Cross in a Month.” Both of those pieces can’t be right. There’s manufacturing a crisis, then there’s ignoring one for fear of conceding anything to Trump.

House broadly condemns hate after anti-Semitism dispute WASHINGTON (AP) — Divided in debate but mostly united in a final vote, the House passed a resolution condemning anti-Semitism and other bigotry Thursday, with Democrats trying to push past a dispute that has overwhelmed their agenda and exposed fault lines that could dog them through elections next year. The one-sided 407-23 vote belied the emotional infighting over how to respond to freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar’s recent comments suggesting House supporters of Israel have dual allegiances. For days, Democrats

wrestled with whether or how to punish the lawmaker, arguing over whether Omar, one of two Muslim-American women in Congress, should be singled out, what other types of bias should be decried and whether the party would tolerate dissenting views on Israel. Republicans generally joined in the favorable vote, though nearly two-dozen opposed the measure. Generational as well as ideological, the upheaval was fueled in part by young, liberal lawmakers — and voters — who have become a face of the newly empow-

ered Democratic majority in the House. This group is critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, rejecting the conservative leader’s approach to Palestinians and other issues. The group split sharply from Democratic leaders who seemed caught off guard by the support for Omar and unprepared for the debate. The resolution passed Thursday condemns antiSemitism, anti-Muslim discrimination and bigotry against minorities “as hateful expressions of intolerance.” Some Democrats com-

plained that Omar’s comments had ignited the action after years of President Donald Trump’s racially charged rhetoric led to no similar congressional action. The seven-page document details a history of recent attacks not only against Jews in the United States but also Muslims, as it condemns all such discrimination as contradictory to “the values and aspirations” of the people of the United States. The vote was delayed for a time on Thursday to include mention of Latinos to address concerns of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Scientists discover different kind of killer whale By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — For decades, there were tales from fishermen and tourists, even lots of photos, of a mysterious killer whale that just didn’t look like all the others, but scientists had never seen one. Now they have. An international team of researchers says they found a couple dozen of these distinctly different orcas roaming in the oceans off southern Chile in January. Scientists are waiting for DNA tests from a tissue sample but think it may be a distinct species. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration felt confident enough to trumpet the discovery of the long rumored killer whale on Thursday. Some outside experts were more cautious, acknowledging the whales are different, but saying they’d wait for the test results to answer the species question. “This is the most different looking killer whale I’ve ever seen,” said Robert Pitman, a NOAA marine ecologist in San Diego. He was part of the team that spotted the orcas

off Cape Horn at the tip of South America. How different? The whale’s signature large white eye patch is tiny on these new guys, barely noticeable. Their heads are a bit more rounded and less sleek than normal killer whales and their dorsal fins are narrower and pointed. They likely mostly eat fish, not marine mammals like seals, as other killer whales do, Pitman said. Fishermen have complained about how good they are at poaching off fishing lines, snatching 200-pound fish away. Pitman said they are so different they probably can’t breed with other killer whales and are likely a new species. At 20 to 25 feet long (6 to 7.5 meters), they are slightly smaller than most killer whales. In the Southern Hemisphere, killer whales are considered all one species, classified in types A through C. This one is called type D or subantarctic killer whales. Michael McGowen, marine mammal curator at the Smithsonian, said calling it a new species without genetic data may be premature. Still, he said, “I think it’s pretty remarkable that there are still many things out there in the ocean like

a huge killer whale that we don’t know about.” Scientists have heard about these distinctive whales ever since a mass stranding in New Zealand in 1955. Scientists initially thought it could be one family of killer whales that had a specific mutation, but the January discovery and all the photos in between point to a different type, Pitman said. He said they are hard to find because they live far

south and away from shore, unlike most killer whales. “The type D killer whale lives in the most inhospitable waters on the planet. It’s a good place to hide.” Pitman got interested in this mysterious killer whale when he was shown a photograph in 2005. When he and others decided to go find them, they followed the advice and directions of South American fishermen, who had seen the whales poaching their fish.

At least 4 Kentucky school districts close amid protests By ADAM BEAM Associated Press

FRANKFORT, Ky. — At least four Kentucky school districts were forced to close Thursday as hundreds of teachers called in sick to continue protesting what they believe to be anti-public education proposals in the state legislature. It was the third time in the past week some districts were forced to cancel classes because of too many teacher absences. And it was the second closure in a row for Jefferson County Public Schools, the state’s largest district and one of the biggest in the country with more than 98,000 students. Thursday’s action comes one year after teacher uprisings in at least five states, part of a movement advocating for better pay, more education funding and protections for traditional pension benefits. This year, teachers have gone on strike in Los Angeles and Oakland, California. And in West Virginia, an upcoming special legislative session on education has teachers worried. “Teachers are severely concerned that if they don’t stand up and come out of their classrooms for a moment, even today, to have their voice heard, then we’re not going to be able to effectively do our jobs,” said John Calhoun, a 32-year-old teacher at Hebron Middle

School in Bullitt County. “Teachers feel last year was reactive. Last year legation was passed and then we stood up. We want to be on the forefront.” In Kentucky, teachers don’t strike but they coordinate to all use their sick days on the same day, forcing districts to close because they don’t have enough substitutes to cover classes. Hundreds of teachers wearing red shirts clogged the stairs leading to the House chamber, chanting so loudly they disrupted hearings before the state Supreme Court. “Usually in the fall it’s leaf blowers, today it’s people petitioning their government,” Kentucky Chief Justice John D. Minton Jr. told lawyers at the beginning of one case. Statewide teacher groups,

including the Kentucky Education Association and KY 120 United, had urged teachers to go to work Thursday. Some districts, including the state’s second largest system in Fayette County, sent delegations of teachers to Frankfort to keep the schools open. But the call for a “sick out” in some districts spread quickly on social media, forcing administrators to close schools. Teachers have many concerns, but the biggest one appeared to be House bill 205, which would grant tax credits to people who donate to scholarship funds for special needs children and those in foster care or lowto middle-income homes to attend private schools. An analysis by the Legislative Research Commission found it would cost the state

$209 million in tax revenue by 2025 — money teachers say should be spent on public education. That bill has not made it out of committee yet. But teachers fear it could be attached to another tax bill that GOP lawmakers are negotiating behind the scenes. Thursday, House Republican Speaker David Osborne indicated that was unlikely. “I don’t think there’s a lot of sentiment for it,” said Osborne, who represents Oldham County where schools were closed on Thursday. “I think it’s disappointing the kids continue to miss learning opportunities.” But another bill teachers oppose is still alive. House bill 525 would strip the Kentucky Education Association, which mostly represents teachers, from controlling the nominations of most board members at the Kentucky Teachers Retirement System. Instead, the bill would let other groups nominate members, including associations representing superintendents and school boards.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A hard-line cleric once thought to be a possible successor to Iran’s supreme leader was appointed head of the Islamic Republic’s judiciary Thursday, sparking concern from rights activists over his involvement in the execution of thousands in the 1980s. Ebrahim Raisi was named to the post in a decree by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the semi-official Fars news agency reported. Raisi’s selection comes after he was trounced by incumbent Hassan Rouhani in the country’s 2017 presidential election. That loss, as well as other concerns, now have some analysts suggesting the move takes him out of the running to become the next supreme leader to replace Khamenei, who will turn 80 this July. Speculation that Raisi could be named to the post also had sparked criticism from the U.S., which under President Donald Trump has withdrawn from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers. Raisi, “involved in mass executions of political prisoners, was chosen to lead #Iran’s judiciary. What a disgrace!” Robert Palladino, a deputy State Department spokesman, wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. “The regime makes a mockery of the legal process by allowing unfair trials and inhumane prison conditions. Iranians deserve better!” Rumors began months ago that Khamenei would appoint Raisi, 58. He will replace Sadegh Amoli Larijani, a conservative cleric who is the brother of Iran’s parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani. Khamenei had appointed Larijani as the head of the country’s Expediency Council, which mediates differences between the country’s Parliament and its Guardian Council, Iran’s constitutional watchdog. Khamenei has praised Raisi, a former Iranian attorney general, in the past. In 2016, Khamenei appointed Raisi to run the Imam Reza charity foundation, which manages a vast conglomerate of businesses and endowments in Iran. It is one of many bonyads, or charitable foundations, fueled by donations or assets seized after Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. These foundations offer no public accounting of their spending and answer only to Iran’s supreme leader. The Imam Reza charity, known as “Astan-e Quds-e Razavi” in Farsi, is believed to be one of the biggest in the country. Analysts estimate its worth at tens of billions of dollars as it owns almost half the land in Mashhad, Iran’s second-largest city. At Raisi’s appointment to the foundation in 2016, Khamenei called him a “trustworthy person with highprofile experience.” That led to analyst speculation that Khamenei could be grooming Raisi as a possible candidate to be Iran’s third-ever supreme leader, a Shiite cleric who has final say on all state matters and serves as the country’s commander-in-chief.

Pentagon may tap military pay, pensions for border wall

WASHINGTON — A top Senate Democrat says the Pentagon is planning to tap $1 billion in leftover funds from military pay and pensions accounts to help President Donald Trump pay for his long-sought border wall. Sen. Dick Durbin told The Associated Press on Thursday: “It’s coming out of military pay and pensions. $1 billion. That’s the plan.” Durbin says the funds are available because Army recruitment is down and a voluntary early military retirement program is being underutilized. The development comes as Pentagon officials are seeking to minimize the amount of wall money that would come from military construction projects that are so cherished by lawmakers. The Illinois Democrat says, “Imagine the Democrats making that proposal — that for whatever our project is, we’re going to cut military pay and pensions.” — The Associated Press

Rabbi leads US evangelicals in visit to Muslim Azerbaijan By Aya Batrawy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A group of evangelical pastors from the U.S. visited the predominantly Muslim Shiite nation of Azerbaijan to promote interfaith dialogue and highlight co-operation with Israel, with pastors saying Thursday the visit has already challenged their views about the potential for coexistence in America’s polarized landscape. New York-based Rabbi Marc Schneier, who led the evangelical delegation, told The Associated Press from the capital of Baku that this was the first ever Christian evangelical delegation to visit Azerbaijan. Most of Azerbaijan’s population of 10 million are Shiite but it’s also home to Sunnis, Christians and around 30,000 Jews, said the rabbi. The country shares borders

with both Iran and Russia. The group, which included 12 U.S. pastors, met President Ilham Aliyev, the foreign minister, Muslim sheikhs, local church leaders, and Israel’s ambassador. Schneier said Aliyev announced during the delegation’s visit that the country’s first-ever Jewish cultural centre would be built in Baku with Kosher dining options and a hotel to accommodate Jewish guests. The delegation also visited a Jewish school where children sang Hebrew songs for Israel. “I literally had to pinch— I had to pinch myself,” Schneier said. “Here I am in a Muslim majority country being welcomed into a Jewish school with all these Jewish children singing Israeli songs. It’s just a phenomenon that one would be able to experience anything like that.” Schneier heads the Foun-

dation for Ethnic Understanding based in New York and founded The Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach, New York. He is at the forefront of building ties between Jews and Muslims in the U.S. and the Middle East. Through greater interreligious dialogue, he’s pushed for closer relations between Muslim leaders and the state of Israel. Last year, there were visits by U.S. evangelicals to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates— two countries seeking to strengthen ties with the Trump administration through his evangelical base of supporters. The outreach is happening as Gulf Arab states simultaneously take their once-private outreach to Israel more public and work to isolate Iran. Unlike Arab Gulf states, Azerbaijan already has diplomatic relations with Israel, its national carrier flies direct

to Tel Aviv and its president hosted Israel’s prime minister in 2016. Pastor Adam Mesa, who leads the Abundant Living Family Church in Rancho Cucamonga, California, said it was his first time in a Muslim majority country. He was encouraged to take part in the trip because of Azerbaijan’s supportive Israeli stance and interreligious efforts. For many U.S. evangelicals, support for Israel is at the very core of their faith. Most believe that before Jesus can return, Jews have to go back to the Holy Land. They also believe the return of the Messiah will follow the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, also the site of Islam’s sacred Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. “There’s been this polarization in our country that we’re supposed to be separatists from one another and we’re supposed to not inter-

act with one another,” Mesa said. “It’s incredible that a Muslim majority country is the one that has to actually lead the charge on religious dialogue and community and solidarity.” He said his talks in Azerbaijan with Catholics, Jews and Muslim sheikhs held no friction, resentment or prejudging. “I think we really need to bring that attitude back to America,” he said. “I really want to emphasize that to my church and other political leaders.” Pastor Calvin Battle, who leads Destiny Christian Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, described the visit as “absolutely incredible”. It was also his time visiting a Muslim country and his first time in a dialogue with sheikhs and learning “how similar” the Abrahamic faiths are. “I have to admit it’s kind of impaired my ignorances

concerning the area and the region and what I came in with, presuppositions concerning the people,” he said. More than just promoting inter-religious tolerance, Azerbaijan too sees political currency in its outreach with Christians and Jews. “From a political point of view, listen there is no question you know that Azerbaijan is looking to strengthen its relationship with the U.S. administration, with the United States Congress. Israel is very much a conduit to that,” Schneier said. Azerbaijan’s president has maintained close ties with the West, helping protect its energy and security interests and to counterbalance Russia’s influence in the strategic Caspian region. At the same time, Aliyev’s government has long faced criticism in the West for alleged human rights abuses and suppression of dissent.

A doubleedged sword

egistration for the 2019 Mount Marathon Race opened March 1. Within hours of getting the email, I sent my information off into the internet tubes to travel down the street to the Seward Chamber of Commerce office. I can be a frugal person (private school college loans funding a degree in journalism will do that to you) and usually an $85 charge is saved for a biannual Costco run, put in the coffer for a flight to the East Coast or at least mulled over for a day or two. I’ve been thinking about the same food processor for three weeks, but it’s not getting out of my Amazon cart anytime soon. With Mount Marathon, though, I didn’t hesitate. I’ve heard signing up for the race used to be a feat in itself, so I should count myself lucky I could register for a day of discomfort from the comfort of my living room. I grabbed my wallet and entered my credit card details alongside my emergency contact’s number. (She may be thousands of miles away, but it has to be my mom, right?) I found out I had a race bib just two weeks before the 2018 race, so I didn’t have time to train the way I wanted before my first July Fourth run up and down Mount Marathon. I did manage to finish in the top 225 and secure a spot for this year’s race. Goal accomplished. From the time I crossed the finish line — knees, legs, everything shaking but a smile on my face — the Mount Marathon Race has been a double-edged sword, defined by Merriam-Webster as “something that has or can have both favorable and unfavorable consequences.” Unfavorable: Starting July 5, the 2019 race has been in the back of my mind. Problem is, I don’t want to be thinking about putting my body through a torturous 5K while wrapped in blankets on a cozy winter afternoon. Favorable: Since July 5, though, I’ve been putting in a more consistent physical effort. Before getting wrapped up in those cozy blankets, I make sure I do some sort of training beyond light stretching to stoke the fire. Unfavorable: While skiing, my mind would wander to running. There would go my flow, the biggest reason I ski. Favorable: I can ski longer and faster thanks to a lot of October and November runs that never would’ve happened if the Mount See BLUE, page A8

Moline bets on hard work One of league’s shortest players finds success By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

After Tuesday’s practice, Kenai River Brown Bears forward Cody Moline said he was 5-foot-6 to a reporter. “I gave you 5-7,” shouted interim head coach Dan Bogdan, who had just been interviewed, from down the hall. Moline still may have a few things to learn about being one of the shortest players in the league — always go for an extra inch for the media — but that list of needed

knowledge has rapidly dwindled in his rookie season, resulting in improved play for the Brown Bears. “You have to play a different game,” said Moline, who counts 5-9 Calgary Flames forward Johnny Gaudreau as his idol. “I always looked at it like an advantage. It lets you avoid things easier. “I’ve been short my whole life.” Moline is on the roster at 5-6. He is tied for being the shortest player in the league to play at least 10 games this season with two other North American Hockey League players.

Bogdan, at 5-10, can relate. He became a big fan of Moline at the Brown Bears Main Camp. “He’s really fast and he’s undersized,” Bogdan said. “I’m 5-10 and he’s 5-7. So we have a similar way of playing. His work ethic is great and he has a great attitude.” Both Bogdan and Moline said one thing shorter players must have is great work ethic. A 6-2 player may be kept around in hopes he will someday develop great practice habits, but a 5-6 player has no such luxury. See BET, page A8

The Palmer Moose swept the first day of action Thursday at the 2019 Northern Lights Conference tournament at Soldotna High School to set up Friday’s semifinal matchups. The fifth-seeded Palmer girls defeated fourth-seeded Kodiak 67-39 to advance to a semifinal matchup with the top-seeded Soldotna Stars tonight at 7:45 p.m. The winner of that game advances to Saturday’s girls championship final at 6 p.m. against the winner of Friday’s other girls semifinal featuring No. 2 Wasilla and No. 3 Colony at 4:15 p.m. Both Friday semifinal winners also clinch a spot at the Class 4A state tournament. SoHi beat Palmer twice this season with scores of 65-26 and 61-25. The highest losing seed from Friday’s girls semifinals will drop directly into Saturday’s third-place contest at 2:15 p.m., while the lowest losing seed from Friday’s semis will face Kodiak in a 10:45 a.m. Saturday game, with the winner advancing to the thirdplace game. On the boys side, No. 5 Palmer bested No. 4 Kodiak 47-43 to advance to Friday’s semifinals, where the Moose will meet the No. 1 Colony Knights at 2:30 p.m. See NLC, page A8

A quick glimpse at life on a South Texas refuge

id you know that more than 10 percent of the international border between the United States and Mexico is shared with several National Wildlife Refuges including Santa Ana, Buenos Aires, Cabeza Prieta, San Bernardino, Lower Rio Grande Valley, San Diego and Tijuana Slough? In January, during the federal government shutdown, I spent three weeks on detail to a South Texas refuge, the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, located in Hidalgo County, Texas. The refuge, established for the protection of migratory birds, sits on the international border, right on the Rio Grande. I met and worked with Federal Wildlife Officers for Santa Ana refuge, and the many Border Patrol Agents who patrol and protect this part of our southern border. It was an experience, and very different from working as a Federal Wildlife Officer in Alaska. The Federal Wildlife Officers I met work closely with the Border Patrol and often deal with the

issue of illegal activities such as smuggling and drugs. I learned that the Border Patrol uses a variety of means to protect and to monitor illegal activities along the border such as manpower, barriers, sensors, cameras, drones and air support. The nearly 2,000-mile-long southern border traverses some the continent’s most biologically diverse regions, including grasslands and salt marshes. The border is home to more than 1,500 native animal and plant species, according to an article published in the journal BioScience last year. The authors, which include an A-list of internationally acclaimed ecologists, estimate that 17 percent of the 346 species they analyzed were at risk of being extirpated on the United States side if these habitats are further fragmented. Intertwined with private farmed lands, Santa Ana refuge is a mix of riparian and forest habitats that support an astounding number of species. In 1880, there were

R efuge N otebook K elly M odla roughly 2,000 acres of cultivated land in Hidalgo County, and by 1924, that figure grew to 125,000 acres. By 1943, the year Santa Ana refuge was established, it had become an island of remnant habitat in a sea of croplands. Less than 2,100 acres in size, Santa Ana refuge is home to over 200 species, including a few that are endangered, like the ocelot, a small jaguarlike cat. In 1979, Santa Ana refuge pitched an idea to preserve the fragmented habitat by creating travel corridors for wildlife species. The refuge aimed to stitch together disjointed pieces of natural habitat into a whole cloth of habitat that could save an expansive community of imperiled species, according to Ken Merritt, former refuge complex manager.

Just 50 to 80 ocelots remain north of the border, mostly constrained to an isolated population in Southeast Texas. Working with private landowners, nonprofit organizations, volunteers, and other government agencies, Santa Ana refuge, along with the Laguna Atascosa refuge, would become critical strongholds for species like the ocelot, and protect the remaining riparian thorn forest in the United States. Unfortunately, I did not get a glimpse of this beautiful cat. I did see, however, some of the diverse bird life that utilizes this small gem of a refuge but important piece of landscape, including a chunky looking green kingfisher, plain chachalacas, Harris’s hawks and several warbler species. And though I was hoping to spot an indigo snake, I admittedly found myself looking down often to avoid a surprise encounter. Santa Ana refuge is just one of more than 560 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System, which stretches across 150 million

acres, from Puerto Rico to Guam and north to Alaska. Similar to what Santa Ana refuge proposed in 1979, Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities are laying the groundwork for sustaining connectivity in our increasingly fragmented landscape by constructing wildlife-friendly crossings under the Sterling Highway in the form of huge culverts and a bridge. These structures should provide wildlife a safer avenue to productive habitats on both sides of our increasingly busy roads on the Kenai Peninsula, reducing wildlife mortality and public safety issues. As Theodore Roosevelt said, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” Kelly Modla is a Federal Wildlife Officer at the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

Bears open homestand crucial to playoff hopes By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears go into their last homestand of the season needing a string of great play to even have a chance of making the North American Hockey League playoffs. The Bears are 18-26-3-2, which puts them 15 points behind the Springfield (Illinois) Jr. Blues in the race for the final playoff spot out of the Midwest Division. Kenai River has 11 games left — eight of which are at home — while the Jr. Blues have 10 games remaining.

Teams get two points for a win, a point for an overtime or shootout loss, and no points for a regulation loss. The homestand begins with 7:30 p.m. games today and Saturday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex against the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets. Janesville sits in third in the Midwest at 26-18-2-3, 16 points ahead of the Bears. Kenai River interim head coach Dan Bogdan said the homestand is the perfect time to make a playoff push. “We want to control what we can control game to game and hopefully get a

Moline, son of Craig and Rhonda Moline of North Branch, Minnesota, said his parents gave him his work ethic. “I was raised to work for what you want,” he said. “What you put in is what you get out. As long as you give 100 percent, good things will happen in your life.” The trajectory of Moline’s career has shown that thus far. At North Branch, he went from 18 points in 24 games as a sophomore to 48 points in 25 games as a junior to 64 points in 25 games as a senior. North Branch had corresponding success, finishing just one game from Minnesota’s vaunted state tournament last sea-

Kenai boys 38, Redington 25 A first-round win for the No. 1 seed from the south division advanced the Kardinal boys to the tournament semis. Kenai will face Grace Christian in the semis today at 5:15 p.m. Andrew Bezdecny and Adam Trujillo each had 12 points to lead the Kardinals, with Trujillo knocking down seven in the first quarter. Wayde Bowman paced the Huskies with seven. Trujillo’s early surge helped put Kenai ahead early at 14-7, and the Kards pushed it to 1912 at halftime. Kenai punished Redington with stout defense in the third quarter, holding the Huskies to four points as Kenai took a 28-16 lead and held on from there.

The Bears had seven points in seven games on the trip — solid play but not torrid enough to make up ground in the playoff race. “We’ve been playing well,” Bogdan said. “We’ve been giving the kids new stuff to work on. “The kids are enjoying it and continuing to learn and develop.” Two main reasons the Bears are in a hole in the

Brown Bears associate general manager Chris Hedlund invited Moline to Main Camp, but after getting cut by the Minot (North Dakota) Minotauros, Moline was strongly considering playing Tier III hockey, one level below the Tier II NAHL. “Money is tight in my family, and those camps are expensive,” Moline said. “I train so much during the summer that I didn’t want to spend a bunch of time going to camps.” Hedlund called and offered a discount so Moline showed up for Main Camp. “I played eight of the nine games in three days,” he said. “It was crazy. We were on the ice the whole time. “I figured this was my last

Nikiski, meanwhile, dropped into the fourth-place bracket with a 9:45 a.m. meeting with Redington. The Bulldogs beat Redington 54-35 earlier this year on the road. Senior guard Jace Kornstad led the way for Nikiski with 11 points, but found himself in foul trouble and eventually fouled out. Michael Eiter contributed a late 3-pointer but also fouled out. Grace was led by Nathan Ivanoff with 15 points. Nikiski stayed close and trailed the Grizzlies 18-14 at the half, but Grace surged by outscoring Nikiski 29-13 in the second half to seal the win.

ACS boys 58, Homer 32 The No. 1 Lions from the north division routed the Mariners, the No. 4 seed from the south division, in a first-round matchup. ACS poured in 27 secondquarter points to stake out a 40-19 halftime lead, which was enough to advance the Lions to a Friday semifinal with Seward at 9 p.m. The winner of that game goes to Saturday’s championship final and qualifies to the 3A state tournament. Homer dropped into the fourth-place bracket with a

The Bears have won three of their last four at home, but started that nine-game homestand with five straight losses that put them in a playoff-hunt hole. “They’ve been putting too much pressure on themselves at home,” Bogdan said. “We’ve been working on taking the pressure off and getting them to go have fun.” Bogdan said having fun

After piling up points in high school, he had just one point in his first 21 games in a Brown Bears sweater. “It was a tough transition,” he said. “They threw me in a different role than I am used to. Instead of a top-three forward, I was in the bottom of the lineup.” Bogdan said that Moline remain focused on developing and didn’t let the lack of points get him down. “As a coach, he’s exactly what you want,” Bogdan said. “He’s a good kid off the ice and he works extremely hard on the ice.” Moline spends more time on the ice than Brown Bears practices and games. He rooms with fellow forward Justin Daly at the home of

After going pointless for seven games, Moline has four points in his last seven games, including a goal and two assists in his last four games. Overall, he has two goals and seven assists in 41 games. Moline, a 19-year-old with one season of junior eligibility left after this season, has talked to every Division III school in Minnesota.

This makes a goalie move laterally and set up again, giving a better chance at a goal.

They want guys going out there and doing the right thing and not necessarily just getting more points.” Moline said he loves the Kenai Peninsula, calling the fishing and outdoors vibe similar to Minnesota, with the difference being mountains. That was something he learned on a snowboarding trip to Mount Alyeska. “I thought it was just going to be like some hills in Minnesota, then we pulled up and I saw that mountain and thought, ‘I think I could die today,’” he said. “But I caught on quick.”

Perry made his second landing in Japan; within a month, he concluded a treaty with the Japanese. In 1948, the Supreme Court, in McCollum v. Board of Education, struck down voluntary religious education classes in Champaign, Illinois, public schools, saying the program violated separation of church and state. In 1965, the United States landed its first combat troops in South Vietnam as 3,500 Marines arrived to defend the U.S. air base at Da Nang. In 1971, Joe Frazier defeated Muhammad Ali by decision in what was billed as “The Fight of the Century” at Madison Square Garden in New York. Silent film comedian Harold Lloyd died in Beverly Hills, California, at age 77. In 1975, the first International Women’s Day was celebrated. In 1979, technology firm Philips demonstrated a prototype compact disc player during a press conference in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In 1983, in a speech to the National Association of Evangelicals convention in Orlando, Florida, President Ronald Reagan referred to the Soviet Union as an “evil empire.” In 1988, 17 soldiers were killed when two Army helicopters from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, collided in mid-flight. In 1999, baseball Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio died in Hollywood, Florida, at age 84. In 2004, Abul Abbas, the Palestinian guerrilla leader who’d planned the hijacking of the Achille Lauro (ah-KEE’-leh LOW’-roh) passenger ship, died while in U.S. custody in Baghdad, Iraq; he was 56. Actor Robert Pastorelli was found dead in his Hollywood Hills, Calif., home; he was 49. In 2008, President George W. Bush vetoed a bill that would have banned the CIA from using simulated drowning and other coercive interrogation methods to gain information from suspected terrorists. Ten years ago: A pastor was gunned down during a Sunday sermon in a southwestern Illinois church; a judge later ruled the suspect in the shooting, Terry Sedlacek (SEHD’-lak), was mentally unfit to stand trial in the killing of the Rev. Fred Winters at the First Baptist Church of Maryville. A suicide bomber struck a police academy in Baghdad, killing at least 30. Country singer Hank Locklin, 91, died in Brewton, Ala. Five years ago: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 with 239 people on board, vanished during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, setting off a massive search. (To date, the fate of the jetliner and its occupants has yet to be determined.) One year ago: U.S. and South Korean officials said President Donald Trump had agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jung Un by the end of May to negotiate an end to North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. Despite Republican warnings of a trade war, Trump ordered steep new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to the United States. Mississippi lawmakers passed one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation, making the procedure illegal in most cases after 15 weeks of pregnancy; a federal judge later struck down the law as unconstitutional. Serena Williams beat Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan, 7-5, 6-3, in the first round of a tournament in Indian Wells, California; it was Williams’ first match following a 14-month layoff for the birth of her daughter. Today’s Birthdays: Jazz musician George Coleman is 84. Actress Sue Ane (correct) Langdon is 83. College Football Hall of Famer Pete Dawkins is 81. Baseball player-turned-author Jim Bouton is 80. Songwriter Carole Bayer Sager is 75. Actor-director Micky Dolenz (The Monkees) is 74. Singer-musician Randy Meisner is 73. Pop singer Peggy March is 71. Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Rice is 66.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, March 8, 2019: This year, you’ll be unusually creative and dynamic. For the most part, others view you in the best light possible. A unique gentleness seems to emanate from you. If single, you could be nearly suffocated by all your wannabe sweeties. Date all you want. You’ll know when you meet the right person. If you’re attached, your significant other adores having you alone with him or her. You have a specialness that reveals itself in this situation that makes you irresistible and open. ARIES will push to have their way with you. Practice saying the word “no.” 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) HHHHH You don’t need to work on charm or relating better; you have what it takes. Be aware of your effect on the opposite sex. Today, if you choose to, you can convert a disgruntled person into a friend. Tonight: Romping out the door. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH You might prefer to lie low rather than deal with many different people or your work. You have various projects to think through and should make sure you’re handling them in the most efficient manner. Tonight: Do what feels right. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Despite a need to keep to yourself sometimes, your personality nearly always comes out. Fortunately, today, your gregarious personality fits the bill. You not only help others relax but also might be instrumental in their mind-sets. Tonight: Where the action is. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’re willing to take a stand; however, you expect a certain amount of loyalty. For instance, if the person in question changes his or her mind, you’ll need to hear it from the horse’s mouth. Much could change quickly. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your vision goes past most people’s perceptions. You see the end result of an action more clearly than many people do. Sometimes, trying to help others see the same can prove difficult. If they need some insight, let them come to you. Tonight: Try out a new spot. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

to always address my passenger using formal introductions such as “Good morning, Ms. X,” unless otherwise instructed. I have noticed that all of my clients address me by my first name (the name given to them by dispatch). I find it odd that it appears to be acceptable for the client to be informal with me, but I must be formal with them. Is this common? Should I ask the front office to give only my surname? -- INFORMAL IN NEW YORK DEAR INFORMAL: It is VERY common. However, since it bothers you to be addressed by your first name, by all means ask the dispatcher to inform the clients that “Mr. Jones” will be their driver that day.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I moved from another state four years ago. He went a year and a half before getting a job after we moved. Now he’s out of a job again. It has been seven months. He sits on the sofa and lounges around the house. He looks briefly for alerts on new job postings. He does a few chores -- not many. He was an attorney, but he doesn’t want to go back into the area of law he was in. He is getting no interviews, we’re blowing through our savings and my job doesn’t cover all of our expenses. I think he is unmotivated and lazy. At this point, I don’t have much to say to him anymore except, “Did you look for a job today?” It’s sad what he has done to himself and his family. He won’t discuss his career. I have told him just to get any job at this point, but then he gets very angry. I’m sure our children wonder why he is not working. I am afraid of the impact this will have on them and the example it sets. I am close to hiring a divorce attorney. This is not the life I want. I’m emotionally and physically drained, and disgusted and embarrassed by his behavior. I have no one to talk to about this. We live in an expensive area with
