In the news U.S. Forest Service Chief announces new Regional Forester for Alaska Region The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Chief announced David Schmid as the new regional forester for the Alaska region. Schmid replaces Beth Pendleton in overseeing management of the more than 22 million acres of National Forest System lands in Southcentral and Southeast Alaska, according to a Nov. 30 press release announcing the news. Schmid has been acting as regional forester for the last eight months since Pendleton retired in April. “David’s more than 30 years of experience and his commitment to maintaining strong relationships with people, stakeholders and communities make him exceptionally well qualified for this job,” U.S. Forest Service Chief Vicki Christiansen said in the press release. “I’m also pleased that he’s bringing both his leadership skills and 23 years of experience on the Chugach and Tongass National Forests to this role.” Schmid previously worked as a fisheries and watershed program leader on the Chugach National Forest and as a district ranger on the Tongass National Forest. For the past four years he has served as the Deputy Regional Forester in the Northern Region based in Missoula, Montana. — Juneau Empire

Groups to Dunleavy: Fight violence against indigenous women ANCHORAGE — A coalition of Alaska Native groups is urging Gov. Mike Dunleavy to push for funding to investigate the death and disappearance of indigenous women. The groups sent a letter Thursday to Dunleavy, who was sworn into office Monday. The letter says “it is imperative that we have a collective effort to address the safety of our people.” The call for funding comes amid a national crisis — the disappearances of hundreds of Native American and Alaska Native women and girls from across the country. Native women experience some of the highest rates of murder, sexual violence and domestic abuse. Dunleavy spokesman Jeff Turner says the governor received the letter. Turner says the state Department of Public Safety will submit a recommendation on the issue at some point. — Associated Press

School board advances efforts for new Aurora high school By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Parents and students wanting to expand Aurora Borealis Charter School into a high school are one step closer to their goal after the Kenai Peninsula Borough School

District Board of Education approved their application to establish a high school Monday evening. Several conditions were added to the application, including that a separate building meeting occupancy requirements be obtained

within two years of the opening; there must be student transportation services and student nutrition services, and lottery preferences for current Aurora Borealis Charter students must be removed. In their application, they state they desire to establish

the high school “to continue the research-based preparatory education of Aurora Borealis Charter School, grades K-8, through whole group, subject-centered direct instruction.” The curriculum differs from other educational See SCHOOL, page A3

Edible architecture Kenai Chamber hosts gingerbread house contest By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Thatched roofs made of almond slices. Lights streaming through the colored windows of Jolly Ranchers. Sugercoated gummies for stepping stones. Candy cane light posts. These are the sweet ideas that have sprung from the minds of youth contestants entered in the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center’s sixth annual gingerbread house contest. An assortment of 22 carefully crafted gingerbread houses currently sit against the outer walls of the conference room at the visitors center, which is open for the viewing public every day until 5 p.m. until Dec. 21, when the houses will be reclaimed by their owners. The spirit of the event, said Kenai Chamber President Johna Beech, is based in the creativity that abounds from the tasty creations. “Creativity is always a plus,” Beech said. “We like to see how much originality goes into it, and we favor ginger- A gingerbread house entry by Abigail Youngberg sits on display at the Kenai Chamber of Combread designs, although we’ve merce and Visitor Center as part of its gingerbread house contest.

Education board introduces policy to limit unhealthy snacks in schools By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

In an effort to reduce childhood obesity, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Education Board’s Wellness Committee introduced an updated nutrition and physical activity policy at Monday’s school board

meeting. The policy could prohibit teachers from using food as a reward, and keep staff from taking away recess as a punishment. Attached to Monday’s agenda, policy AR 5040 states “all foods available in district schools during the school day shall be offered to

students with consideration for promoting student health and reducing childhood obesity.” “Just be aware of how much, I don’t want to say it, junk food is in our schools,” school board member Mike Illg said at Monday’s board meeting. “We need to curtail it. Child obesity and health

issues related to poor nutrition is a serious concern in our school district.” Part of the proposed policy includes guidelines for foods sold for fundraisers. Food sold in a fundraiser that meets nutrition requirements will not be limited in any way, however, food that does

Kenai City Council unanimously supports Alaska LNG in Nikiski By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

The City of Kenai has joined the Kenai Peninsula Borough in supporting Nikiski as the location for Alaska Gasline Development Corporation’s (AGDC) liquefaction plant and marine terminal. The Kenai City Council passed a resolution unanimously Wednesday night fully supporting AGDC’s application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission that would put the liquefied natural gas terminal in Nikiski. “Right now, the Nikiski plan is the preferred location,” said Kenai Mayor Brian Gabriel at Wednesday’s council meeting. “There’s been a lot of property acquisition and a lot of work out there in support of this project, to this plan.” The AGDC filed its application to FERC in April 2017 with Nikiski as their top choice, after an exhaustive engineering effort considering locations across the state, according to city documents. Gabriel said, though, that cities like Matanuska Borough and Valdez have expressed interest in seeing the Alaska LNG Project in their community. “I think it’s important for us to make sure that we, as part of this process, emphasize the point that we do support this in our community,” Gabriel said. “I think that’s important for the process.” The resolution was sponsored by Gabriel, but after an amendment from Council Member Tim Navarre, each council member’s name and signature was attached to the approved resolution. A copy of the approved resolution will be sent to several key figures in the project, including U.S. Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan and representatives from FERC. “I hope that we as a city fully support this,” Navarre said. “It’s in the city’s best interest and the state of Alaska’s best interest,” Navarre said. The resolution is meant only to show support, though, See LNG, page A15

Iditarod clears Tribes allege human rights violation over mine pollution 4-time champion in

dog-doping scandal

By MOLLIE BARNES Juneau Empire

Fifteen Southeast Alaska sovereign tribal nations petitioned an international commission for human rights to take action against Canada regarding violations by six mines in British Columbia, Canada. The petition was filed on Wednesday by the Southeast Alaska Indigenous Transboundary Commission (SEITC), which consists of representatives from 15 prominent Alaska Native tribes. Among those tribes are the Central Council of Tlingit and See MINE, page A15

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Iditarod officials have cleared a four-time champion of any wrongdoing in a dog-doping scandal that followed the sled dog race last year. Officials for the 1,000mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race issued a statement this week absolving musher Dallas Seavey of any involvement in the drugging of his dogs, the Anchorage Daily News reported. Four of Seavey’s dogs tested positive for tramadol, an opioid painkiller and banned substance, following his sec-

ond-place finish in March 2017. Some Alaska veterinarians have questioned why anyone would administer the drug during the race because it may cause drowsiness. Jeanne Olson, an Alaska veterinarian who treats sled dogs, sees no benefit in administering tramadol during a race because it causes drowsiness. Olson, who was the head veterinarian in the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race in the 1990s, prescribes it mostly for profound pain relief. See DOG, page A2

What caused ancient mass extinction? Hot ocean water blamed By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — Scientists think they’ve figured out the falling dominoes that led to Earth’s largest mass extinction and worry that human-caused climate change puts the planet on a vaguely similar path. Some 250 million years ago, about 90 percent of sea life and 70 percent of land life went extinct in what is now called the Great Dying. Scientists have long speculated that massive volcanic outbursts triggered the cataclysmic event, but how that worked was still a bit fuzzy. It wasn’t the lava itself. A new study in Thursday’s journal Science used complex computer simulations to plot out what happened after the volcanoes blew: It led to ocean temperatures rising by about 20 degrees, which then starved the seawater of oxygen. That hot oxygenstarved water caused the mass marine die-off, especially farther from the equator. After the volcanoes blew, the level of heat-trapping carbon dioxide soared to a level more than 12 times what it is today, said study lead author Justin Penn, an Earth sciences researcher at the University of Washington. Water loses oxygen when it warms, much like a warm can of cola goes flat, Penn said. Scien-

tists looked at dozens of modern species to see what happens to them in warmer, oxygen-starved water and that helped them understand the past extinction. One of the keys in the research is that more species died off away from the equator. That’s because tropical species were more acclimated to low oxygen levels, Penn said.

While humans aren’t warming the Earth anywhere close to as much as what happened naturally 250 million years ago, “this puts our future into the category of contenders for true catastrophe,” said study co-author Curtis Deutsch, an Earth scientist at the University of Washington. The ancient die-off “shows almost exactly what lies at the end

of the road we’re on,” Deutsch said. “We’re really doing the same thing to Earth’s climate and oceans.” The study calculates that if heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions continue on current levels, by the year 2300, the globe will experience 35 to 50 percent of the extinction level seen in the Great Dying.

said Mike Mills, president of Iditarod’s board of directors. Mills declined to say what that evidence was. “It’s a hard situation to untangle, but we’re comfortable that we made the right decision,” Mills said. Seavey said he presented a “very compelling case” to the race board. After the test results were made public last year, he had suggested that someone sabotaged his team. “I can’t prove what did happen, but we can strongly prove what didn’t happen,” Seavey

said. Seavey said he can’t share of all the information about the case, but he noted that one of his arguments dealt with the timing of the drug tests. The dogs had high levels of the drug immediately before test, which he knew was coming. “It does not look like something someone was trying to get away with. It’s very blatant,” Seavey said. While Mills said Seavey did not have knowledge of the doping, officials have not determined who was respon-

sible for it. “We’re convinced we’re never going to figure that out,” Mills said. Seavey raced in Norway instead of running the Iditarod this year. He hasn’t decided where he will race next year. “I’m not entirely sure which way we’re going, but I’m training dogs,” Seavey said. “This whole situation over a whole year-and-a-half has been tiresome, to say the least. I’m focused on having fun with the dog team. The simple side of it.”

“But I also caution that the dogs are going to become sedated from it,” she said. “So when I first heard … that it was tramadol as the drug, I thought, ‘Well, that’s surprising. Why would anybody use that?’ “ “We met with him multiple times and there was (sufficient) evidence to conclude he didn’t have anything to do with it,”

On Monday night, a large crowd of Aurora Borealis parents and students filled the Betty J. Glick Assembly Chambers for the school board meeting, several of which provided passionate testimony in support of a high school extension of the charter school, which currently

serves kindergarten through eighth grade. The Aurora Borealis Charter School committee wrote in documents provided in the school board agenda that their goal is to open the high school by August 2019. Emily Moss, a seventhgrader at Aurora Borealis Charter school, told the school board that her school has been a good fit for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the only school I have gone to that teaches me in a way that makes sense to me,â&#x20AC;? Moss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to continue this through high school.â&#x20AC;? An eighth-grader from Aurora Borealis Charter, Madison McDonald, also spoke

highly of her current experience at the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would love to have a high school because I much enjoy the way they teach there and everyone is nice and accepting,â&#x20AC;? McDonald said. Several parents said they supported the effort to build a high school, and hoped their children could continue their education in the same environment. Dana McDonald, a parent of two Aurora Borealis Charter school students, said the school has been amazing for her children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place I know they feel accepted and welcome,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love learning here. One of my daughters on

Amy Spillman has a kindergartner and a second-grader at the charter school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want my kids to have the opportunity to continue to excel and learn and be pushed to go above and beyond what I believe a normal high school experience can provide them,â&#x20AC;?

What Others Say

Reflecting on the man who made Texas home In June 1948, after the College World

Series and graduation day at Yale, young George H.W. Bush packed up his cranberry-red Studebaker (a graduation gift from his father) and headed the car’s distinctive nose in a southwesterly direction. The little car got him to Odessa and to a shotgun duplex, where two prostitutes lived on the other side of the wall. “Kind of humble,” Bush called it. While the young war hero from Connecticut scrambled to gain a foothold in the West Texas oil patch, the rented dwelling would be home for himself and his wife Barbara and their little boy George. The young New England patricians had come to a strange new world. “First, it was flat, perfectly flat, like no land they had ever seen,” Richard Ben Cramer wrote in his classic “What It Takes: The Way to the White House.” ”No brooks, streams, rivers. No native trees — no trees. It was bright, and hot like they’d never felt heat, and gritty everywhere with dust.” That little Studebaker — a restored version of the car is on permanent display at the Bush Library in College Station — was the Bushes’ chariot to a new life. It carried them to an adventure, an opportunity to create lives for themselves far away from received wisdom, hoary tradition and family expectations. Texas — first Odessa-Midland, and then Houston — offered a young family that opportunity. It was in the tradition of an opportunity held out slightly more than a century earlier to Stephen F. Austin’s Old Three Hundred and to newcomers eager to start afresh in a swampy, sultry settlement beside a mosquito-ridden bayou. It was the same sort of opportunity that lured to the Lone Star State countless young war veterans eager, like the Bushes, to begin building homes, families and careers. The place was open, unformed and rich with promise. “When I wanted to learn the ways of the world, I didn’t go to the Kennedy School,” Bush told delegates to the 1988 Texas state GOP convention. “I came to Texas, in 1948.” Flash forward nearly 45 years beyond the Bushes’ West Texas adventure. “They won’t come back to Houston,” people were saying as George and Barbara Bush prepared to vacate the White House after years of living in Washington. “They’ll go back East.” But they didn’t go back East. Houston was home. They not only came home, but they made themselves an integral part of this community. They continued serving, as they had their whole lives. The Houston Literacy Foundation bears Barbara’s name. George was an invaluable resource for a city expanding its economic horizon toward China. And they were always a common sight behind home plate at Astros games. Now they are both gone, but as exemplars for their fellow Houstonians and their fellow Texans, George and Barbara Bush still serve. The nation will discuss and debate the Bush presidency. Books will explore its achievements and its failures. That’s not only right and proper, but useful in a nation that presumes to govern itself. Just as useful are Bush memorials in our midst. A great international airport, a statue near the Arts District, a dynamic literacy program — perhaps a little red Studebaker, circa 1947 — are reminders that we too have opportunities to serve, wherever we happen to be, whatever our status in life. Our fellow Texan, the good and decent man we lost a few days ago, has shown us the way.

A powerful lesson as we remember President Bush

The scene at the U.S. Capitol on Monday as former President George H.W. Bush lay in state presented a tableau and a lesson for those who seek earthly power and believe it can change things. As the TV cameras panned the crowd, I was struck by how many aging “formers” there were, men (and they were mostly men) who once held high office, but now live in the political shadows. This fact should give us all pause and an opportunity to consider what truly matters in life. Washington and the media obsess about earthly power, but if it were real power — that is, a force that could bring change for the better — would not change have been achieved by now? Instead, we get politicians who lust for power and when they get it, squander it on fights with each other instead of using it to solve important problems that affect most Americans. While watching the coverage, I thought of something First Lady Barbara Bush said in a 1990 commencement address at Wellesley College in Massachusetts: “Our success as a society depends not on what happens in the White House, but on what happens inside your house.” Earlier that same year, James Baker, Bush’s closest friend and at the time his secretary of state, delivered a remarkable address before the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington. Baker said: “Power doesn’t really bring the fulfill-

if they are interviewed or noted at all. Few seem to care what they think now, preferring “currents” instead. In his address, Baker noted that “power can be intoxicating” and can lead to corruption. One doesn’t usually hear such confessions in Washington where transparency by political leaders is rare. Moments like the ceremonies for George H.W. Bush offer opportunities for serious introspection. As Barbara Bush said in her Wellesley speech: “At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a child, a friend or a parent.” The number of “formers” at the Capitol on Monday and the memorial service on Wednesday and some “currents” who will be formers soon enough offer a lesson worth pondering before the engines of political power fire up again. If not in politics, where does real power come from? The answer was suggested in the film, “Chariots of Fire,” in which the character portraying Scottish runner Eric Liddell said, “It comes from within.” It surely doesn’t come from Washington, which lacks the power to fix itself.

Pelosi takes hard line on Trump’s border wall By MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday rejected the idea of paying for President Donald Trump’s border wall in exchange for helping hundreds of thousands of young immigrants avoid deportation. Funding for the wall — a top Trump priority — and legal protections for so-called Dreamers, a key Democratic goal, should not be linked, Pelosi said. “They’re two different subjects,” she said. Her comments came as the House and Senate approved a stopgap bill Thursday to keep the government funded through Dec. 21. The measure, approved by voice votes — Houston Chronicle, Dec. 4 in near-empty chambers, now goes to the White House. Trump has promised to sign the twoweek extension to allow for ceremonies this week honoring former President George H.W. Bush, who died Nov. 30. But he wants the next funding package to include at least $5 billion for his proposed E-mail: wall, something Democrats have rejected. news@peninsulaclarion.com Trump is set to meet Tuesday at the White House with Pelosi and Senate Democratic Write: Fax: Peninsula Clarion 907-283-3299 leader Chuck Schumer.

ment that many say it does. Inner security and true, real fulfillment comes by faith (in God). It doesn’t come by wielding power in a town where power is king.” Baker, who later said he received Cal Thomas more comments on that speech than any he has given, told a story to illustrate his point. As The New York Times reported his remarks: “He also described his sense of the fleeting nature of power, which he said was driven home to him one day when he was riding to his job as chief of staff in his sleek black limousine. Near the White House he noticed a man walking down the street alone. ‘He was someone many of you would have recognized — a chief of staff in a previous administration,’ said Mr. Baker. ‘There he was, alone — no reporters, no security, no adoring public, no trappings of power — just one solitary man alone with his thoughts. That mental picture continually serves to remind me of the impermanence of power and place. That man had it all, but only for a time.’” There were many at the Capitol ceremony who once had power, “but only for a time.” Their names now begin in print and on TV with the word “former,”

tees have already agreed on, along with a separate measure funding the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the border. Funding for the homeland agency should address border security and does not necessarily include a wall, Pelosi said. Most Democrats consider the wall “immoral, ineffective, expensive,” Pelosi said, noting that Trump promised during the 2016 campaign that Mexico would pay for it, an idea Mexican leaders have repeatedly rejected. Even if Mexico did pay for the wall, “it’s immoral still,” Pelosi said. Protecting borders “is a responsibility we honor, but we do so by honoring our values as well,” she added. Schumer said Thursday that a bipartisan Senate plan for $1.6 billion in border security funding does not include money for the 30-foot-high concrete wall Trump has envisioned. The money “can only be used for fencing” and technology that experts say is appropriate and makes sense as a security feature, Schumer said. “This is something Democrats have always been for: smart, effective, appropriate border security,” he said on the Senate floor. If Republicans object to the proposal because of pressure from Trump, Schumer said lawmakers should follow Pelosi’s advice and approve six appropriations bills and a separate measure extending current funding for Homeland Security.

Either option would avert a partial government shutdown, which lawmakers from both parties oppose, he said. “The one and only way we approach a shutdown is if President Trump refuses both of our proposals and demands $5 billion or more for a border wall,” Schumer said. He called the wall “a nonstarter” for Democrats, who face increasing pressure from outside groups and liberal lawmakers to resist Trump’s continued push for the barrier, which Trump says is needed to stop an “invasion” of Central American migrants and others from crossing into the country illegally. Schumer called the spat over the wall unnecessary, noting that the administration has not spent more than $1 billion approved for border security in the budget year that ended Sept. 30. “The idea that they haven’t spent last year’s money and they’re demanding such a huge amount this year makes no sense at all,” he said. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby said he prefers to include Homeland Security in an omnibus package containing seven unresolved spending bills for the current budget year. “I believe the best route is to keep all seven together and pass them,” the Alabama Republican told reporters Thursday. Lawmakers have “made a lot of progress” in recent weeks on the seven spending bills. “I’d like to conclude it,’” he said.

China demands Canada release executive of tech giant Huawei By JOE McDONALD and ROB GILLIES Associated Press

BEIJING — China on Thursday demanded that Canada release an executive of Chinese tech giant Huawei who was arrested in a case that compounds tensions with the U.S. and threatens to complicate trade talks. Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies Ltd., faces possible extradition to the United States, according to Canadian authorities. The Globe and Mail newspaper, citing law enforcement sources, said she is suspected of trying to evade U.S. trade curbs on Iran. Huawei, the biggest global supplier of network gear used by phone and internet companies, has been the target of deepening U.S. security concerns. Under President Donald Trump and his predecessor, Barack Obama, Washington has pressured European countries and other allies to limit use of its technology. The U.S. sees Huawei and smaller Chinese tech suppliers as possible fronts for spying and as commercial competitors. The Trump administration says they benefit from im-

proper subsidies and market barriers. The timing of the arrest is awkward following the announcement of a U.S.-Chinese cease-fire in a trade war that has its roots in Beijing’s technology policy. Meng was detained in Vancouver on Sat-

urday, the day Trump and Xi Jinping met in Argentina and announced their deal. U.S. national security adviser John Bolton told NPR that he knew of the pending arrest in advance. He declined to talk about the specifics of the case and said he didn’t know

if Trump knew about before it happened but added that there has been enormous concern about the practice of Chinese firms like Huawei allegedly using stolen U.S. intellectual property. He said that would be a major subject of negotiations with China.

Caretaker of neglected cemetery arrested By DAVE COLLINS Associated Press

A fuller picture of a cemetery in ghastly disarray emerged Thursday as the longtime caretaker of a graveyard in Connecticut’s largest city was arrested and officials described in new detail shocking discoveries that included human bones and casket pieces scattered about. About 130 graves were disturbed at the 57-acre cemetery and included those of Civil War veterans, Bridgeport authorities said. Gravestones and remains had been removed to make way for the newly dead, while some

new graves were stacked on top of old ones, separated by a layer of dirt. “What we found right away was a lot of disturbed dirt, garbage, headstones that were overturned and … bone fragments that were later confirmed to be human remains, and pieces of old caskets that date back over 100 years,” police Capt. Brian Fitzgerald said at a news conference. “We were finding gravesites from some soldiers that were close to 100 years, in some cases over 100 years old, mixed in with new burial plots from 2011 on,” he said.

At one point during hearings he held in recent months, Probate Judge Paul Ganim said Thursday, “There were literally bags of bones that were picked up by witnesses that were brought in.” Relatives, in the absence of government oversight of the cemetery, have meanwhile taken upon themselves the monumental tasks of trying to establish whether everyone is buried where they should be, decide what to do with newer remains buried atop older ones, identify the unearthed bones and fragments, and restore order to the burial ground located just north of downtown. “It’s absolutely just unbeliev-

able that people did this, and they’ve been doing this for a while,” said retired lawyer Cheryl Jansen, whose great-grandparents and other relatives are buried at Park Cemetery. “You never think you have to worry about your dead relatives … but I guess these days you do.”

Former AG William Barr contender for old job

By ERIC TUCKER and CHAD DAY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — William Barr, who served as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush, has emerged as a top contender for that job in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, two people familiar with the president’s selection process said Thursday. The appointment of a new attorney general would come at a precarious time as special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, which the department oversees, is showing signs of entering its final stages. Trump is “very seriously considering” Barr, said one of the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no decision has been announced, adding that Barr is “someone very much on the president’s mind.” The other person characterized Barr as “the leading contender.” Trump has been known to change his mind on key personnel decisions before announcing them. Barr was attorney general between 1991 and 1993, serving in the Justice Department at the same as Mueller did. Barr later worked as a corporate general counsel and is currently at a prominent international law firm. If confirmed by the Senate, Barr would succeed Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who was forced out by Trump in November and who infuriated the president by stepping aside from the Russia investigation. Sessions’ decision helped set in motion Mueller’s appointment. Trump has elevated Sessions’ chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, to acting attorney general. Democrats would presumably want reassurances that Barr, who as attorney general

would be in position to oversee Mueller’s investigation, would not do anything to interfere with the probe. An attorney general opposed to the investigation could theoretically move to cut funding or block certain investigative steps. But depending on how long the confirmation process takes, it is not clear how much of the investigation would remain by the time a new attorney general takes office. “What I have said, without mentioning Mr. Barr — I’ve said, the best thing the administration can do is to get somebody who had majority support from Republicans and Democrats alike for attorney general. Those are the best attorneys general,” said Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which would hold hearings on a nominee. Barr, he said, could fit that bill. Still, while in private practice, Barr has occasionally weighed in on hot-button investigative matters in ways that could prompt concerns among Democrats. He told The New York Times in November 2017, in a story about Sessions directing his prosecutors to look into actions related to Trump rival Hillary Clinton, that “there is nothing inherently wrong about a president calling for an investigation” — though Barr also said one should not be opened just because a president wants it. He said there was more basis to investigate a uranium deal approved while Clinton was secretary of state in the Obama administration than potential collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. “To the extent it is not pursuing these matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility,” Barr told the newspaper.

Christmas reminds us that hope wins out over fear In the Christmas classic, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” there is a wonderful scene. Everyone starts laughing at Charlie Brown because he has purchased a scraggly, scrawny Christmas tree. Charlie Brown is saddened and screams out loud asking if anyone can tell him the meaning of Christmas. Linus says he can and quotes Luke 2:8-14 from the New Testament in the Bible. When he gets to the part where the angels tell the shepherds “Fear not,” he drops his security blanket. Linus, who never drops it and goes into a panic when Snoopy swoops into cartoons to steal it, can let it go at the angels’ message of peace. Luke 2:10 “Fear not. I bring you

V oices of F aith R ick C upp good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.” Fear not. God has come. And though he could have come solely as a judge, because we have all done wrong, he comes as a savior. The song “O Little Town Of Bethlehem” has a wonderful line. Referring to the dark streets of Bethlehem when Jesus is born, it says, “The

hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.” Indeed! God shows up and all our hopes and fears don’t just meet, they collide. Is God for us, or against us? The good news of Christmas is that God comes in love. He is for us. That song, “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” is worth singing and remembering. It was written exactly 150 years ago by an American preacher, Phillips Brooks, in 1868. Consider the time. It was three years after the end of the Civil War. It was the year of Andrew Johnson’s impeachment. African-Americans had gained freedom but the backlash was violence and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan.

Infrastructure in the South had been devastated. Chimneys, standing in overgrown fields, were in many places the only sign that once there was a home and a farm on that spot. Many African-Americans were refugees and homeless. Many soldiers were dealing with the loss of an eye or a limb or more in the war. Inflation meant that one dollar’s worth of gold cost $70 worth of Confederate notes. Hunger was high as a lack of manpower meant some foods rotted in southern fields and cattle roamed free with no one to herd them. Politically, economically, and socially the nation was reeling and dazed after far worse than a mug-

ging. And Phillips Brooks wrote “O Little Town Of Bethlehem” with the music written by Lewis Redner. In the worst of circumstances, hope and fear met and hope won. There isn’t room to quote the entire song, but we close with the promise Brooks heard in his heart and wrote in his dark time of fear and hope: “No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still The Dear Christ enters in.” Rick Cupp is a minister at Kenai Fellowship.

Around the World Pope to visit UAE in first-ever trip to Arabian Peninsula VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis plans to visit the United Arab Emirates in February to push for ChristianMuslim dialogue and peace in the first-ever papal visit to the Arabian Peninsula. The Feb. 3-5 trip to Abu Dhabi centers around an interfaith meeting, the Vatican said Thursday. Francis will also have the chance to meet with political leaders as well as the UAE’s Catholic community, which is made up almost exclusively of foreign workers. It’s the latest trip to be announced in what is shaping up to be one of Francis’ busiest years for foreign travel, with trips to Central America, North Africa and now the Gulf confirmed, and ones to Asia and East Africa under consideration. While Francis has visited other Muslim-majority nations, including Egypt, Turkey and Jordan, the UAE trip will mark the first pastoral visit by a pope to the Arabian Peninsula. Pope Paul VI visited Iran in 1970. The theme of the UAE trip is peace, with the logo featuring a dove carrying an olive branch. Vatican spokesman Greg Burke noted that the trip, like one last year to Egypt, shows the importance Francis places on inter-religious dialogue. “Pope Francis visiting the Arab world is a perfect example of the culture of encounter,” Burke said in a statement. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and the UAE’s vice president and prime minister, welcomed news of the pope’s visit. The visit “will strengthen our ties and understanding of each other, enhance interfaith dialogue and help us to work together to maintain and build peace among the nations of the world,” he tweeted. Francis, who turns 82 this month, will make the trip just a week after returning home from Panama, where he is due to visit Jan. 22-27 to participate in the Catholic Church’s World Youth Day rally.

Don’t wait for snow, just get outside

ow would be the time when an enterprising outdoors columnist writes about all the wonderful winter sports to be experienced. Fresh snow has fallen and trails run for miles waiting to be skied or snowshoed. Or, lakes and ponds have frozen, nice and flat and smooth. Well, not in this time zone. Years ago when I lived in Anchorage, my friend Tom said he had thought of moving to Homer, but he worried how he would survive the warm, wet winters down here. After I moved here in 1994, I wondered what the heck he talked about. My wife, Jenny, and I got some land up on Diamond Ridge right across from the Kachemak Nordic Ski Club Trails — one of the selling points for the property. People we talked to about living on the ridge told us horror stories about the time a state snowplow ate a Subaru. I think the first winter we lived here we had 6 feet of snow by Christmas. One winter we had 13 feet of snow. A Chinook might blow in and wipe out the trails, but the next dump would fix that. We learned to check the weather reports every night, and if a blizzard was expected, our neighbors and I would park our cars at the end of the driveway we shared, in order of who first had to go to work. The last time we had a winter like that was in 2013, when the snow berms hit 25 at one place the plow piled it up. Even when snow didn’t come, you could count on deep cold that would freeze Beluga Lake solid enough to skate. In 1999 when Homer had a big fireworks display for New Year’s Eve on the lake, maybe 500 cars drove out onto it. Looking through back issues of the Homer News, we regularly had front page photos of kids playing pond hockey. I think I took one of those two years ago. Alas, I think my buddy Tom was right. As I write this, Beluga Lake has open water. Diamond Ridge has maybe 3 inches on the ground, not enough to cover the bluejoint grass. The ski club groomers can do a lot with some snow, and you might get by on your rock skis, but I don’t think anyone has figured out how to wax for pushki. I’m a Florida boy who saw his first serious snow on a trip north to see my sister at college outside Boston. We had snow just once in Sarasota, where I went to school, in 1976 when Jimmy Carter was president. I didn’t learn to ski until the winter of 1982, when I got a pair of discount track skis and my brotherin-law Charlie would take me out to the Alaska Pacific University ski trails in Anchorage. I fell down a lot, especially on hills, but in a few years I was barreling down Tin Can at Turnagain Pass with Charlie and my sister Helen. We’d load up the Subaru, drive along the arm, and get to the pass See OFFICE, page A9

Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears won their second straight game, going on the road to top the Minnesota Magicians 2-1 on Thursday in North American Hockey League play. The victory moved the Brown Bears (11-13-2-1) into sole possession of fourth place in the Midwest Division, while the division-leading Magicians fall to 18-7-0-0. Before this two-game streak, the Bears had been on an eight-game winless streak during which they were los-

ing, and not winning, the close ones. The turnaround came after a Nov. 30 loss in Fairbanks when the team had a players-only meeting. “They identified what type of team they wanted to be,” Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich said. “It wasn’t forced by coaches or it wasn’t forced by tradition. It was our current team doing it.” Petrich said the leadership group on the team is eight to 10 players and that group does a great job. The team decided to win board battles, net-front battles, battles near the blue line and to be a family that plays for one an-

other. “They’ve been aggressive,” Petrich said. “I told them in the middle of last Saturday’s game, nobody is going to give us points. We have to take them.” After a scoreless first period, JJ Boucher had his first NAHL goal just six seconds in to the second period, assisted by Alex Klekotka and Michael Spethmann. “It’s a huge relief for him,” Petrich said of Boucher. “We talked about giving him the puck for that goal, but this is his third year playing junior hockey. He expects to be a leader and contribute.”

Minnesota tied the game headed into the third period, but Spethmann, assisted by Eagle River’s Zach Krajnik and Soldotna’s Preston Weeks, scored the game-winner short-handed with 17:41 left to play. Kenai River goaltender Gavin Enright closed the door from there, making 25 saves while Ethan Haider of Minnesota saved 31. “We’re not giving up a lot of goals,” Petrich said. “In the second period, they had too many chances, but in the first period they hardly had any. In the third, they cleaned it up and made life See BEARS, page A9

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Under center at the 1-yard line, Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota checked out of a quarterback sneak, and Derrick Henry did the rest — as much with his arms as his legs. The 6-foot-3, 247-pound Henry sped and stiff-armed his way to a record-tying 99-yard touchdown run , and Tennessee routed the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-9 on Thursday night to stay in the playoff chase. Henry matched Tony Dorsett’s 99-yarder on Jan. 3, 1983, for Dallas against Minnesota for the longest TD run in NFL history. Henry ran to his left and went up the sideline, stiff-arming cornerback A.J. Bouye, then rookie linebacker Leon Jacobs twice and finally shoving linebacker Myles Jack to finish off the second of his four TDs. “Once I got in the open field on that 99-yard run, it was going to take all of them,” Henry said. “I definitely wasn’t going to go down easy, so I definitely wanted to use my stiff-arm to my advantage, and it worked.” The Titans talked before the possession about going 99 yards, so left tackle Taylor Lewan was a bit surprised to hear the call for a quarterback sneak. “I was like, ‘That ain’t going to get us 99 yards, boys,’” Lewan said. “But it was checked,

Earthquake causes venue change Kachemak Conference wrestlers ready to battle at Grace Christian By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The 7.0 earthquake that momentarily stopped Southcentral Alaska in its tracks last Friday left a different kind of shift on the Alaska wrestling scene. Due to damage sustained at Redington High School near Wasilla, the planned host site of the 2018 Kachemak Conference wrestling championships, state wrestling officials have decided to

move the Division II tournament farther south to Grace Christian High School in Anchorage. The tournament runs today and tomorrow, with finals starting Saturday afternoon after the consolation rounds have concluded. The Alaska School Activities Association also decided to give schools in conference tournaments around the state an additional two pounds of allowance in each weight class, being that the earthquake canceled some competi-

Fight Before Christmas returns Saturday By JEFF HELMINAK Peninsula Clarion

Three years ago, Mat Plant of Power Plant Productions held the first Fight Before Christmas at the Peninsula Center Mall. Plant said that he had organized fights for others before at the time, but that was the first he did as owner and founder of his new productions company. For the first Fight Before Christmas, Plant did not have access to the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, but he packed the mall with 400 people and gained access to the sports complex soon after.

“I’d like to thank the community,” Plant said. “At the first Fight Before Christmas, we had 400 packed in the Peninsula Center Mall. That was awesome. “The year after, we had 800 at the sports center, and now we’re hoping for another 800 or 1,000.” Fight Before Christmas 3 will be Saturday at the Sports Complex, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and fighting starting at 7 p.m. Plant said not only is he grateful to the community, but he listens to the community as well. For that reason, he has added more mixed martial arts to Saturday’s card. There will be three MMA fights, two boxing matches,

two professional wrestling matches and a kickboxing match. “I’m really excited about this card,” Plant said. “It’s like an old school vs. new school card.” The main event features kickboxers Lucas Murray and Keyshawn McEnerney, a pair of local fighters. “Lucas is old school and has quite a few fights under his belt,” Plant said. “For Keyshawn, this will be his fifth fight. He’s young and hungry.” The MMA fights will be local fighter Sean Whitmore vs. local fighter Harald Nordskov, Juneau’s Michael Pitaro vs. local fighter Nate Grinnell, and Anchorage’s Cole Aquino vs. Anchorage’s Archie Fultze.

Plant said Whitmore is definitely an old-school fighter, and Whitmore announced this will be his last fight on the Facebook page of Power Plant Productions. Nordskov in a younger fighter. Both Pitaro and Grinnell are relatively new fighters, according to Plant, while Aquino and Fultze are seasoned. The boxing matches feature local fighter Ronnie Sherbahn against Anchorage’s Alton Prince, and a showdown of area fighters Cody Smith and Colten Goracke. Plant said both Sherbahn and Prince are old-school fighters, as are Smith and Goracke. See FIGHT, page A9

Machines are learning about wildlife

ver the weekend, I was curious about where Golden-crowned Kinglets spend winters. I pulled out my cellphone and instantly found range maps, beautiful pictures and detailed information about the natural history of this small bird. I am sometimes wonderstruck by the advances in technology that have occurred just within my lifetime. Prior to the 1980s, ecologists often hand drew maps and used calculators to labor through tedious statistical equations. The average person didn’t have access to much computing power.

I’ve been pondering this question over the past couple years while coediting a recently published book titled “Machine Learning for Ecology and Sustainable Natural Resource Management.” The idea of machine learning came into being after World War II when Alan Turing creatively suggested that computers could learn and communicate new information to us humans. Turing’s work first had

to demonstrate that computers could indeed learn from data. Throughout the 1960s, there was some work on computer perception. For example, the military tried getting computers to identify enemies in radar images. However, machine learning was largely fodder for science fiction until computing power became widely accessible. These days machine learning is being implemented by a wide variety disciplines, including ecology. I was first introduced to machine learning algorithms while working on my doctorate at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray is AP Player of Year By ERIC OLSON AP College Football Writer

Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray won The Associated Press college football Player of the Year on Thursday, becoming the second straight Sooners quarterback and fifth overall to win the award since it was established in 1998. Murray beat out Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on 56 ballots submitted by AP college football poll voters and announced Thursday. Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. was third.

differently every day.” At the Kachemak Conference tournament, only the top three wrestlers in each weight class punch their ticket to the Division II state tournament next week. The Northern Lights Conference tournament, featuring all Division I programs including Soldotna, will still be held at its scheduled site, Palmer High School. In that tournament, the top five wrestlers in each weight class gain a spot to state. The Colony Knights are looking for a sixth consecutive NLC team crown and have proven they are the favorites once again this year with several tournament team victories and dual wins. The Knights finished second at the Lancer Smith Memorial tournament in November, but first among the NLC competition with 219.5 points, better than Wasilla’s 139. The Kachemak crown has been won each of the past three years by the Homer Mariners, who have built up an impressive dynasty of wrestling talent with deep programs. However, as the new hosts of the Kachemak tournament, the Grace Grizzlies are also expected to be a force to be reckoned with, according to Homer coach Chris Perk. “I think we can (win it),” Perk said. “We’ve had a couple good days in practices … but the question is always depth.” Grace finished a close second to Homer last weekend at the Grace Grizzly Grappler tournament, scoring 154 team points to Homer’s 158.5 to stake their name as a contender. At the Lancer Smith Memorial tournament in November, Grace Christian was the top Kachemak team with 54 points, with Homer checking in with 42.5 points. SoHi head coach Neldon Gardner will have a different challenge on his hands at the NLC meet in Palmer. The Division I Stars aren’t favored to challenge for the team title with Colony and Wasilla standing in the way, but Gardner still expects to mix it up with programs like Palmer, which SoHi nearly finished ahead of in the Lancer Smith tournament in November. Palmer beat SoHi for sixth place by three points, 83 to 80. “The last couple of years, Colony, Wasilla and Palmer have been in the top five and SoHi has been there around sixth or seventh,” Gardner said. “But we’re looking at the two teams ahead of us. We just have

“It’s humbling and an honor to be named AP Player of the Year, to be mentioned in the same realm as a lot of great players, a lot of hall of famers,” Murray said. “It’s a special deal for me and hopefully I can continue to make my family and teammates proud.” Murray received 39 first-place votes and a total of 145 points. Tagovailoa received 13 first-place votes (117 points) and Haskins was listed first on four ballots (55 points). Murray added the Davey O’Brien Award as the nation’s top quarterback Thursday night at ESPN’s College

a very strong region.” At the Lancer Smith tournament, Soldotna finished seventh overall and fourth among NLC teams. Gardner said he is bringing 26 athletes to the NLC meet, down from what he was expecting to bring due to grade ineligibilities and injuries, but said he hopes to get around nine to 12 SoHi wrestlers to state. Among the top contenders to watch this weekend are junior Aaron Faletoi, the topranked wrestler at 215 pounds, and senior Gideon Hutchison at 130 pounds. Both grapplers are ranked first among NLC competition in their respective weight classes, and both have just one loss to their name this year — Faletoi is 20-1 and Hutchison is 32-1. Hutchison’s closest NLC competitor is Wasilla’s Hunter Hayes. Hutchison is 1-0 against Hayes in 2018 with an 8-4 win Nov. 10 at the North/South tournament. Faletoi’s closest NLC competitor in the rankings is Colony’s Jamar Toston. The two haven’t met this year yet, but that could change Saturday. SoHi also features heavyweight Melvin Lloyd, a junior who is ranked sixth at heavyweight, but second in the region, only behind Colony’s Ethan Connaker. At 171 pounds, SoHi sophomore Sean Babitt enters the weekend ranked fifth in the NLC at 171 pounds. Babitt is 2111 this year. Gardner tabbed a handful of other unranked SoHi wrestlers that could potentially qualify for state, including senior Logan Craig (16-9 this year) at 112 pounds, sophomore Hunter Secor (19-9) at 112 pounds, junior Brayde Wolfe (14-7 and coming off a 2017 injury) at 145 pounds, sophomore Dennis Taylor at 152 pounds (12-3 and also hurt last year), sophomore Aiden Willets at 160 pounds, and senior Brennan Werner at 189. Among female wrestlers, SoHi boasts the No. 1 ranked competitor in the region at 160 pounds, junior Amanda Wylie. Back at the Division II Kachemak Conference tournament, Homer is looking for more hardware to fill its trophy case. Last year, the Mariners cruised to their third straight conference crown in dominating fashion, winning seven of the 15 region titles. This time around, the Mariners return four of those region champions in seniors Seth Inama, Wayne Newman and Luciano Fasulo and junior Mose Hayes. The team lost three region champions to graduation in Chris Cudaback, Levi King and Kyle Wells. Fasulo enters the weekend holding a 104-match winning streak, a remarkable span of

Football Award Show at the Hall of Fame in Atlanta. Tagovailoa won two player of the year awards, taking the Walter Camp and Maxwell awards. Murray and Tagovailoa will now head to New York City as Heisman trophy finalists, with the winner more uncertain than usual. Haskins also is a finalist for the Heisman Trophy , which will be presented Saturday night in New York. The last five Walter Camp winners won the Heisman Trophy and the last four Maxwell winners have won the Heisman. Only twice since 2002 has

Murray and Tagovailoa will then face each other in the College Football Playoff, when No. 1 Alabama plays No. 4 Oklahoma at the Orange Bowl semifinal on Dec. 29. The rest of the college football award winners Thursday night were: — Kentucky linebacker Josh Allen won the Chuck Bednarik award as the nation’s top defensive player. — Alabama defensive tackle Quin-

nen Williams won the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top interior lineman. — Georgia cornerback Deandre Baker won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back. — Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor won the Doak Walker as the nation’s best running. — Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top wide receiver. — Syracuse kicker Andre Szmyt won the Lou Groza Award. — Texas A&M punter Braden Mann won the Ray Guy Award.

dominance that dates back to 2015, but Perk said Fasulo is still working to get into peak tournament strength after missing most of this season rehabbing minor tears of his anterior and medial cruciate ligaments and his meniscus. Fasulo, who is the topranked athlete at 135 pounds, only returned to competition the weekend before Thanksgiving, but Perk thinks he has it in him to win his fourth straight Kachemak crown. “He’s not looking like the (Fasulo) of the past, but he’s getting himself into wrestling shape,” Perk said. The other three returning conference champions are all ranked first in their respective weight classes — Inama is 30-1 at 125 pounds this year, Newman is 33-2 at 140 pounds and Hayes is 27-4 at 152. Perk added that sophomore Josh Bradshaw is currently second in the conference to Hayes, setting up a potential title bout between the two teammates. Senior heavyweight Jadin Mann is the fifth Homer wrestler currently ranked first among region foes, having racked up a 16-1 mark in 2018.

The Mariners also return a three-time Kachemak Conference girls champion in senior McKenzie Cook, who is 20-4 this year but undefeated against female competition. Perk said Cook, who will be wrestling in college, should be able to retain her 145-pound title. Joining Cook as contenders on the girls side is sophomore Sadie Blake, the top-ranked girl at 119 pounds, and junior Mina Cavasos, the top girl at 125 pounds. Blake is 21-6 this year while Cavasos is 13-2. Kenai enters the weekend wrestling in its first Kachemak Conference tournament, after being realigned into Division II sports for the majority of its programs. Steffensen said the Kardinals are only bringing eight athletes to the tournament, but he expects high-end results. It starts with three wrestlers who are currently ranked among region competitors, including freshman Talon Whicker at 103 pounds, sophomore Tucker Vann at 160 and sophomore Rocky Sherbahn at 215. Steffensen said several other Kards, namely senior Brandon Kroto at 152 pounds and freshmen Isaiah Ticknor and Dae-

mon Duniphen at 125, should be seeded entering the weekend. Whicker has made an impact with Kenai in his first year, going 19-7 to grab the top ranking and giving Steffensen hope he can win a region title on debut. Vann is seeded second in the region at 160 pounds and with a 20-3 record, could win it, according to Steffensen. “If Tucker’s a hundred percent, it still could go his way,” he said. Sherbahn comes in ranked second at 215 pounds after going 14-6 in competition this year. Kenai’s top girl is freshman Olivia Easley (14-9 this year), who Steffensen said should be seeded second among girls at 130 pounds. Nikiski finished eighth in the team race last year with no conference champions, but that could change come Saturday. Among the top contenders is senior Dustin Mullins, the topranked region wrestler at 215 pounds. Bulldogs sophomore Jaryn Zoda also comes in with high potential, ranked second in the conference at 112 pounds, only

behind ACS grappler Caleb O’Hara, and sophomore Koleman McCaughey enters the weekend third at 160 pounds. At heavyweight, Nikiski junior Ethan Hack is ranked second. While it doesn’t account for sheer weight room numbers, the small Voznesenka wrestling program outside of Homer tends to bring quality to the season-ending tournaments. This year, the Cougars are bringing eight wrestlers to the Kachemak Conference tourney, three of which are ranked statewide. Leading the way is senior Max Kusnetsov, the top-ranked region wrestler at 119 pounds. Kusnetsov is the defending region champion at 113 pounds and has a 24-2 mark this year. Joining him will be senior Dia Martishev, the No. 1 region wrestler at 145 pounds who is 17-6 this year, and junior Anthony Kalugin, ranked second at 171 pounds and behind only Grace’s Elliot Merriner. Kalugin is 23-4 this year. The lone Seward wrestler ranked entering the weekend is sophomore Thomas Ooka, ranked second at 130 pounds, only behind Redington’s Charles Severance.

the Kenai to vegetation and landscape features such as elevation, proximity to water and human development. Then, I could predict whether a bird would like places that I had not visited to make a map. We can assess how well the algorithm does by comparing how well it predicts a subset of withheld data versus the data from which it learned to predict. Natural resource managers use information about where animals live to conserve and enhance habitat. Before these technological advances, we only had coarse, hand-drawn range maps to work with. Machine learning and other computing advances give us the capacity to compile and translate vast datasets into useful products for conservation. For example, scientists at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology take the observations from eBird (www.ebird.org), a website where volunteer birders add sightings, and use machine learning algorithms to deliver detailed information, such as a week-by-week animation of where Sandhill Cranes are in North America (https://ebird. org/science/status-and-trends/

sancra/abundance-map-weekly). For a map of Sandhill crane nesting habitat made by machine learning, visit this article on www.peninsulaclarion.com. Knowing if a bird has a restricted winter range, and when and where migration pathways occur, can help us sustain populations for our children to enjoy. Machine learning algorithms have also been developed that allow computers to “see or hear” animals, which is very useful for monitoring populations. Computers can help researchers go through vast amounts of data collected by camera stations or sound recorders. Researchers in South Africa have developed a fully automated monitoring program for an African penguin colony. African penguins use “penguin highways” as pathways between the sea and their nests. As the penguins walk these trails each day, they are photographed and a computer identifies the individual penguin based on their unique belly spots! This information is used to count colony size and estimate survivorship as accurately as older methods that relied on

physically attaching a band to their flippers. In Alaska, researchers are using computers to listen to thousands of hours of recorded sounds to identify birds. Teaching bird sounds to computers has been difficult because birds tend to call over one another in the summer. Computers need to have processes to discriminate the sounds and then identify them. However, progress is being made on this problem. Recently, a paper was published in the journal Ecology aptly titled “Eavesdropping on the Arctic,” which outlines a machine learning approach that successfully detects birds and is useful for tracking shifts in nesting phenology and ranges. My hope is that computers will help us learn how to be good stewards of the environment. Each day of innovation could bring new and previously unimaginable approaches to conservation.

But here’s the thing about Alaska. My sister Helen moved to the north before I did, living in Finland, Michigan and Wisconsin. When I moved to Alaska, she gave me some advice. “Always get out in the midday sun,” Helen said. That advice has helped me stave off midwinter depression for decades. You can’t wait for snow.

At that time, I had just finished a master’s degree at Texas A&M University where I used data to map where birds were likely to live. The state of Texas was interested in paying ranchers to clear brush on their land, but wanted information to incentivize practices that benefited wildlife species. I visited ranchers to collect data on where birds occurred, but had a hard time translating my data into maps that could communicate the information that Texas needed. Fortunately, about the time I started mapping where birds occurred on Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, computing power and software made this task easier to do well. I used a machine learning algorithm to link where I found birds on

TRAIL BLAZERS 108, SUNS 86 PORTLAND, Ore. — Damian Lillard had 25 points and eight assists before sitting for the final quarter and Portland snapped a three-game losing streak with a rout of Phoenix. Jake Layman came off the bench to score a career-high 24 points for the Blazers, who had lost six of their last seven games. Portland led by as many as 31 points. Troy Daniels had a season-high 15 points for the struggling Suns, who were held to nine points in the first quarter for the second consecutive game and have lost seven straight. Phoenix has just four victories this season, and just one on the road.

Today in History Today is Friday, Dec. 7, the 341st day of 2018. There are 24 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 7, 1941, Japan launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as part of its plan to conquer Southeast Asian territories; the raid, which claimed some 2,400 American lives, prompted the United States to declare war against Japan the next day. On this date: In 43 B.C., Roman statesman and scholar Marcus Tullius Cicero was slain at the order of the Second Triumvirate. In 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. In 1842, the New York Philharmonic performed its first concert. In 1911, China abolished the requirement that men wear their hair in a queue, or ponytail. In 1917, during World War I, the United States declared war on AustriaHungary. In 1946, fire broke out at the Winecoff (WYN’-kahf) Hotel in Atlanta; the blaze killed 119 people, including hotel founder W. Frank Winecoff. In 1972, America’s last moon mission to date was launched as Apollo 17 blasted off from Cape Canaveral. Imelda Marcos, wife of Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos, was stabbed and seriously wounded by an assailant who was shot dead by her bodyguards. In 1987, 43 people were killed after a gunman aboard a Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner in California apparently opened fire on a fellow passenger, the pilots and himself, causing the plane to crash. Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev set foot on American soil for the first time, arriving for a Washington summit with President Ronald Reagan. In 1988, a major earthquake in the Soviet Union devastated northern Armenia; official estimates put the death toll at 25-thousand. In 1993, a gunman opened fire on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train, killing six people and wounding 19. (The shooter was later sentenced to a minimum of 200 years in prison.) In 2001, Taliban forces abandoned their last bastion in Afghanistan, fleeing the southern city of Kandahar. In 2004, Hamid Karzai (HAH’-mihd KAHR’-zeye) was sworn in as Afghanistan’s first popularly elected president. Ten years ago: President-elect Barack Obama introduced retired Gen. Eric Shinseki (shin-SEHK’-ee) as his choice to head the Veterans Affairs Department. Actress-singer Barbra Streisand, actor Morgan Freeman, country singer George Jones, dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp and musicians Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey of The Who received Kennedy Center Honors. Five years ago: North Korea freed an 85-year-old U.S. veteran of the Korean War after a weekslong detention, ending the saga of Merrill Newman’s attempt to visit the North as a tourist six decades after he oversaw a group of South Korean wartime guerrillas still loathed by Pyongyang. One year ago: Democratic Sen. Al Franken said he would resign after a series of sexual harassment allegations; he took a parting shot at President Donald Trump, describing him as “a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault.” Republican Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona said he would resign, after revealing that he discussed surrogacy with two female staffers. A brush fire driven by gusty winds exploded north of San Diego, destroying mobile homes in a retirement community and killing race horses at a training facility. A white former South Carolina police officer, Michael Slager, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the fatal shooting of an unarmed black motorist, Walter Scott, in North Charleston in 2015. Demonstrators in the Gaza Strip burned U.S. flags and pictures of President Trump, and Palestinian protesters clashed with Israeli forces in east Jerusalem and the West Bank, after Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Today’s Birthdays: Linguist and political philosopher Noam Chomsky is 90. Bluegrass singer Bobby Osborne is 87. Actress Ellen Burstyn is 86. Former Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., is 81. Broadcast journalist Carole Simpson is 78. Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Bench is 71. Actordirector-producer James Keach is 71. Country singer Gary Morris is 70. Singer-songwriter Tom Waits is 69. Sen. Susan M. Collins, R-Maine, is 66. Basketball Hall of Famer Larry Bird is 62. Actress Priscilla Barnes is 61. Former “Tonight Show” announcer Edd (cq) Hall is 60. Rock musician Tim Butler (The Psychedelic Furs) is 60. Actor Patrick Fabian is 54. Actor Jeffrey Wright is 53. Actor C. Thomas Howell is 52. Actress Kimberly Hebert Gregory (TV: “Kevin (Probably) Saves the World”) is 46. Producer-director Jason Winer is 46. Former NFL player Terrell Owens is 45. Rapper-producer Kon Artis is 44. Pop singer Nicole Appleton (All Saints) is 43. Latin singer Frankie J is 42. Country singer Sunny Sweeney is 42. Actor Chris Chalk is 41. Actress Shiri Appleby is 40. Pop-rock singer/celebrity judge Sara Bareilles (bah-REHL’-es) is 39. Actress Jennifer Carpenter is 39. Actor Jack Huston is 36. Singer Aaron Carter is 31. Thought for Today: “Any frontal attack on ignorance is bound to fail because the masses are always ready to defend their most precious possession -- their ignorance.” -- Hendrik Willem van Loon, Dutch-American journalist and lecturer (1882-1944).

Crossword

Mom finds it hard to watch son in stressful new marriage - MOM ON THE SIDELINES DEAR MOM: I appreciate your concern for the wellbeing of your son, but if you are smart, you will remain supportively on the sidelines and not insert yourself into this sensitive situation. If your son feels so pressured he’s considering ending his marriage, he should be telling his wife about it and not Abigail Van Buren his mother. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 31-year-old waitress and proud atheist. I’m one of the least judgmental people I know. Who other people love, or how they choose to worship isn’t important to me. I have a regular customer who comes in to the restaurant about twice a month. He’s a pastor and one of the nicest guys I think I’ve ever met. He’ll often bring along people from his congregation and buy them dinner. He counsels new families and tries to teach them the ways of the world. He counsels angry teenagers, and they listen to him. I have tremendous respect for him.

The problem is, every time he comes in, he tries to get me to come to his church. It’s sometimes an hourlong conversation. At first I was polite about it and just said no thank you. Recently it reached the point where I said firmly, “I don’t need your church.” Abby, he still persists! I don’t know what to do anymore. I wouldn’t feel right kicking him out of the restaurant. Is there a middle ground? -- NONBELIEVER IN GEORGIA DEAR NONBELIEVER: The pastor may be an evangelical, who feels that it is his duty to “spread the word.” The middle ground, since he seems unable to accept your polite refusals, is to have another waitress serve him instead of you, if that’s possible. If not, ask your manager for guidance. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.

COLD AIR Dear Heloise: Living in Southeast Oklahoma, where it gets very hot, I have tried to limit opening the refrigerator to a minimum. After meals, I gather all the leftovers by the side and place all the items in at one time, thus saving the cold from escaping each time the door is opened. -- Judy H., Soper, Okla. THANKS FOR NOTHING Dear Heloise: I send little gifts to friends and my grandkids. Usually, I don’t get any “thank-yous.” I know I need to stop sending gifts unless people send a thank-you. I feel bad, because I was raised to acknowledge a gift with a thank-you of some kind. -- Sandy R., Woodland Hills, Calif. Sandy, good manners are classy and polite. If your grandkids haven’t been taught to show a little appreciation with a thank-you, talk to their mother or father and ask why. If you don’t get a thank-you by telephone call, email or notecard, then stop sending things to the people who do not acknowledge your thoughtfulness. -- Heloise CAT CONCERN Dear Heloise: Our two cats are indoor cats that do not go outside. Both are rescued males that were born to a feral mother. My wife wants to have them neutered and get their shots, but I think that’s unnecessary since they do not go outside. What do you suggest we should do? -- Frank J., Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Frank, get your pets neutered and have the vet give them their shots. If one of them got out, it could father a litter of kittens, and the world does not need any more stray kittens. Neutered male cats are usually cleaner and less aggressive. The shots protect your pet from diseases transmitted by other animals. Your veterinarian will let you know which shots you need, then follow his or her advice. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: Our youngest son recently married a woman who has an 18-year-old disabled daughter, “Lauren.” The girl’s mental level is between that of a 2- and 4-year-old. There have been physical confrontations between my new daughter-in-law and her disabled daughter, which are becoming more frequent now that they all live together. Our daughter-in-law refuses to pursue facilities for Lauren, saying she is waiting for her to be transitioned into a group home and feels much guilt in doing so. Lauren is currently in a day program, which doesn’t seem to be helping her. She has definite behavioral issues and has been put on a higher level of meds that haven’t helped. Psychologists, counselors and school staff are noncommittal about offering any help and haven’t advised on how to address this. My concern is, my son and his wife now have a 6-month-old son, and I worry about the baby in this home environment. Our son loves his wife and thought he could handle the challenges that come with living with Lauren. He now says he thinks it is best to end the marriage, but he’s uncomfortable about giving an ultimatum to his wife. He has a high-pressure job, and his new home environment is taking a toll on him, physically and mentally. Any advice for him is appreciated. -

Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska based in Juneau, and those in Sitka, Ketchikan, Douglas, Yakutat and Wrangell. The petition requests that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) assists the tribes in obtaining relief resulting from the violations by the mines, including the Tulsequah Chief Mine which has been leaching toxic water into prime Alaska and Canada salmon habitat for more than 60 years. The petition claims that the six mines are likely to release harmful pollution into the rivers, which threatens the fish essential to maintaining life in the tribes. Failing to prevent pollution in Alaska watersheds could constitute a violation of indigenous people’s rights, the group alleges. The petition said the government of Canada did not consult with or seek the free, prior and informed consent of the SEITC tribal nations during the approval of the mines or permitting of the mines, as required by international law under the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is an international human rights advocacy group headquartered in Washington, D.C. Its mis-

10 waivers, if there is a significant fundraiser where that involves selling some baked goods in your school,” school board member Illg said at the board meeting. “This could be an eye-opener for some people.” One portion of the policy prohibits food and beverages used as a reward for student performance or behavior. “This policy makes some significant changes to our nutrition policy as well as our activity guidelines,” school board member Dan Castimore said at Monday’s school board meeting. “The more

controversial changes are the prohibition of using food as a reward. No more lollipops if Jenny does well on her homework.” School board member Jason Tauriainen said he understood concerns about using food as a reward, but felt it had a positive impact on schools. “I have an issue with food as a rewarding thing,” Tauriainen said. “I understand some of the concerns with it, but I also think that it’s a fellowship and bonding time. Things like pizza parties for an achievement is something

that I don’t think is a bad thing.” The policy prohibits using physical activity as a form of punishment. This would prevent teachers from keeping children inside during recess or requiring students to run laps or do pushups as a form of punishment. “If a student misbehaves, they cannot be kept in from recess as a punishment because we want to get kids exercising as much as possible,” Castimore said. The school board will vote on this policy at their next meeting, Jan. 21.

not address any concerns the community may have with the Alaska LNG Project. “For residents in Nikiski, this is just a general resolution that supports the project,” Council Member Bob Molloy said. “… Whatever issues there are with the project that are controversial among Nikiski residents, such as what road route or the water supply or anything like that, this doesn’t address that. It supports the project being in

Nikiski, which I feel is good for Nikiski.” The resolution was met with resounding support from all council members, but council member Robert Peterkin disclosed a potential conflict of interest that was dismissed. “I’ve been pretty involved in this since they bought property from me,” Peterkin said. “They’re negotiating more property from me as well and I’m in a bit of a nondisclosure with them.” The council agreed that there was no conflict of interest.

sion is to promote and protect human rights in the American hemisphere. “We are hoping the commission will pick up the case,” said Ramin Pejan, attorney for Earthjustice, a nonprofit environmental law firm that filed the petition for SEITC. “The goal here really is to inject or raise human rights violations as a key part of the narrative with these mines, and that has been missing in the approval process thus far.” Earthjustice and the SEITC have been working on drafting the petition for about a year. It is connected with some of their previous work involving these mines. One attempt involved drafting a different petition to the U.S. Department of the Interior for protection under the Fisherman’s Protective Act and the Boundary Waters Treaty. But he said, that petition was more a political process than a legal process. “This is much stronger, we think, particularly when it comes to protecting the rights of the tribal members,” Pejan said. “One of the reasons we brought the petition to [the IACHR] is because they have a strong and rich body of precedent regarding indigenous people’s rights, particularly around environmental harm.” He said there’s a dozen cases referenced in the SEITC petition that the IACHR has worked on and had success with that relate to the same human rights

violations the Southeast tribes are alleging. “The ultimate goal is to get a more in-depth review on the projects to assure that the effects are not going to impact us in a way that violates our rights for our food security and cultural existence,” said Jennifer Hanlon, vice chair of the SIETC. There are six mines included in the petition. Two of the hardrock mines are already operational: the Brucejack Mine and the KSM Mine. And four are proposed in the upper reaches of the watersheds of the Taku, Stikine and Unuk rivers. The four proposed mines are the Tulsequah Chief Mine, Red Chris Porphyry Copper-Gold Mine, Schaft Creek Mine and the Galore Creek Mine. Biologists say these watersheds are teeming with biodiversity, including dozens of species of fish. Mainly important to the petition: salmon and eulachon, which have been staple commodities of the tribes and remain centerpieces of their cultural practices and spiritual beliefs, according to the petition. “Salmon is the staple harvest in our traditional culture,” said Tammi Meissner, a member of the SEITC from the Wrangell Cooperative Association in a testimony included in the 215page petition. “You could say it is the heartbeat of our culture. If the salmon heartbeat is gone, then ours will be gone, too.”

One of the main focuses of the petition is that Canada did not consult with the tribes or conduct any assessments of the mine’s impacts in the watersheds in Alaska, which they claim violates their human rights and breaks international law. Assessments were only taken within Canada. Without local assessments, the tribes have no idea of knowing what the potential threats to the fish in their rivers will even be. Since the mines reside outside of the United States, and the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act limits how one can sue a foreign government, the SEIDC is petitioning the IACHR for help influencing the Canadian government. Filing a petition of complaint with the IACHR is similar to how one would file a complaint with the United Nations, but with a more regional focus on the Americas. It works conceptually like a lawsuit. “We didn’t file a lawsuit because we don’t think the laws [in Canada] protect the interests of our clients in Alaska sufficiently,” Pejan said. “There’s no real process for the Southeast Alaska indigenous groups to participate in the decisionmaking process. That’s why we took it to the Inter-American Commission.” In November 2017, Alaska officials sent a letter to former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, expressing the same concerns about the development of

these large-scale mining operations and their potential catastrophic effects on Alaska. “We, like this administration, prioritize the promotion and protection of American economic interests, which in this instance could be threatened by B.C. transboundary mining and inadequate financial mechanisms to assure long term management of toxic wastes and redress for damages from potential releases,” the letter said. The letter uses the Tulsequah Chief Mine as an example of the risk and harm that acid mine drainage poses for Alaskans. They requested that the issue be brought added to the agenda for meetings with the Canadian government. On Oct. 30, former Gov. Bill Walker penned a letter to the British Columbia government thanking them for their efforts in reviewing and enhancing oversight for the mining industry, but stated that Alaska is still unsatisfied with the financial assurances from the mines that they will clean watersheds to a satisfactory level. Calls to the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources in Canada for comment weren’t returned Wednesday. There are three main requests of the commission: that they make an on-site visit to investigate and confirm threats from the mines, that they hold a hearing to investigate the petition’s claims and that they prepare a report setting forth the facts and

laws declaring Canada’s failure to implement adequate protective measures for the watersheds. Suggested actions for the report include suspending activity at the mines until the issue can be resolved and consulting with the tribes to make a plan to protect their resources from acid mine drainage and other pollution that is toxic to fish. “It’s really hard to isolate any individual project,” said Hanlon in an interview with the Empire. “Our concern really has to do with the cumulative effects in the entire region.” The 15 different nations represented in the SEITC who submitted the petition come from the Chilkat Indian Village of Klukwan, Douglas Indian Association, Organized Village of Saxman, Craig Tribal Association, Ketchikan Indian Community, Organized Village of Kake, Metlakatla Indian Community, Wrangell Cooperative Association, Sitka Tribe of Alaska, the Klawock Cooperative Association, Petersburg Indian Association, Organized Village of Kasaan, Hydaburg Cooperative Association, Yakutat Tlingit Tribe and Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska. The SEITC was formed in March 2014 as the United Tribal Transboundary Mining Work Group. The IACHR did not respond for comment Wednesday on how long it will take them to respond to the petition.
