Alaska Marine Highway takes step to replace old ferry KODIAK (AP) — The Alaska Marine Highway System has taken the first step in the process of finding a shipyard to build a ferry to replace an aging vessel serving southwest Alaska. The highway system issued a pre-solicitation notice last month for the Tustumena Replacement Project, but a possible construction date and build location remain unknown because of a pending federal waiver, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Monday. The federal waiver is required before a construction contract can be issued to replace the 54-year-old Tustumena vessel, which has been plagued by maintenance issues. Officials have been planning for years to replace the ferry. “The pre-solicitation is the first step in bringing in a shipyard, via a competitive process, to conduct the final design of the ship, and try to get to a guaranteed maximum price with that shipyard,” said Aurah Landau, public information officer for the highway system. “AMHS continue to wait for a federal Buy America Waiver from Federal Highway Administration for small parts of the vessel construction.” The Buy American Act “requires a domestic manufacturing process for all steel or iron products that are permanently incorporated in a federal-aid highway construction project,” according to the Federal Highway Administration. The Tustumena serves Kodiak, the Aleutian Islands and the Kenai Peninsula. Officials plan for the replacement ferry to be 330 feet long and 71 feet wide. It would need overnight accommodations for 250 people and capacity to hold up to 54 cars. The design also includes an 80,000-pound vehicle elevator. About $244 million in federal and state funding has been earmarked for the project, with $222 million coming from the Federal Highway Administration.

Mueller recommends no prison for Flynn, citing cooperation By CHAD DAY and ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser provided so much information to the special counsel’s Russia investigation that prosecutors say he shouldn’t do any prison time, according to a court filing Tuesday that describes Michael Flynn’s cooperation as “substantial.” The filing by special counsel Robert Mueller provides the first details of Flynn’s assistance in the Russia investigation, including that he participated in 19 interviews with prosecutors and cooperated extensively in a separate and undisclosed criminal probe. But the filing’s lengthy redactions also underscore how much Mueller has yet to reveal.

ANCHORAGE — With sizable shockwaves still emanating from last week’s powerful earthquake, authorities in Alaska are urging the selfie-taking public to stay away from a road that was badly mangled. Some photos posted on social media show people even climbing into large cracks on the buckled road in Wasilla north of Anchorage, Alaska State Trooper spokesman Jonathon Taylor said Tuesday. Signs and barricades have been set up to keep people away from the site, whose ground liquefied from the force of Friday’s 7.0 magnitude quake near Anchorage. “It looks sort of like shattered pieces of glass, if you will, from above, which makes a very fascinating visual. But it is also unsafe to be there,” Taylor said. Repair crews using heavy equipment have started construction on the stretch of road, and spectators can impede that effort, he said. Taylor hasn’t heard about

PBS cartoon ‘Molly of Denali’ brings Refuge plans full slate Alaska Native perspective to kids TV of December events, with or without snow BY BEN HOHENSTATT Capital City WeeklY

If Kennedy Miller is any indication, “Molly of Denali” will have an audience. The 9-year-old girl was in the audience for a presentation about the upcoming PBS cartoon that featured a preview of an episode of the show, held Friday in Juneau as part of the University of Alaska Southeast’s Evening at Egan Lecture Series. “I really like it,” Miller said. At 9, she’s a bit older than the show’s intended 4-8-yearold audience, but Miller said she would still like to watch the University of Alaska Southeast professor X’unei Lance Twitchshow and could not think of oth- ell filled in for the Evening at Egan presentation about “Molly of Denali” Friday, Nov. 30.

Despite the winter’s darkness and this year’s lack of snow, the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge has a host of events scheduled for December to entertain through the winter days and holiday breaks. On Dec. 8, Ranger Leah Eskelin will hold a demonstration using the hands-on augmented reality sandbox which ties together sand, an Xbox and shadows to explore topography and see where rain water drains and pools.

The event runs from 2 to 3 p.m., but guests are welcome to come anytime during the hour. “People can drop in during that time and get to play with the sand,” said Ranger Michelle Ostrowski. “It’s addictive; it’s fun.” Ostrowski will also lead a Solstice Walk on Dec. 21 from 4 to 5 p.m. to celebrate the days getting longer and a full moon. Attendees are asked to preregister by calling 907-260-2820. “The full moon is on Dec. 22 at 8:50 a.m., so we figured we’d do a walk in the eveSee REFUGE, page A15

US coal consumption drops to lowest level since 1979 By ELLEN KNICKMEYER and MATTHEW DALY Associated Press

WASHINGTON— Americans are consuming less coal in 2018 than at any time since Jimmy Carter’s presidency, a federal report said Tuesday, as cheap natural gas and other rival sources of energy frustrate the Trump administration’s pledges to revive the U.S. coal industry. A report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration projected Tuesday that 2018 would see the lowest U.S. coal consumption since 1979, as well as the second-greatest number on record of coal-fired power plants shutting down. The country’s electrical grid accounts for most of U.S. coal consumption. U.S. coal demand has been falling since 2007 in the face of competition from increasingly abundant and affordable natural gas and renewable energy, such as solar and wind power. Tougher pollution rules also have compelled some older, dirtier-burning coal plants to close rather than upgrade their equipment to trap more harmful coal emissions. President Donald Trump

has made bringing back the coal industry and abundant coal jobs a tenet of his administration. He and other Republicans frequently attacked former President Barack Obama for waging what they called a “war on coal” through increased regulations that Re-

publicans said killed jobs and harmed the industry. Trump’s enthusiasm for coal has helped to make Appalachian “coal country” one of Trump’s most fervent bases of support as Trump racked up big wins in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and other

states. “The coal industry is back,” Trump declared at one rally in West Virginia last summer. Federal government figures continue to show otherwise, however, as market forces inexorably tamp down coal demand.

Dwindling list of missing brings relief to burn area By JANIE HAR and PAUL ELIAS Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — The search for people unaccounted for after the deadliest U.S. wildfire in at least a century is winding down in Northern California, with just 11 names left on a fluctuating list that once approached 1,300 and prompted fears that hundreds had died in the flames. The declining number released late Monday came as a relief in the Paradise area as it reels from the wildfire that killed at least 85 people and destroyed

nearly 14,000 homes. Families, friends and even long-ago acquaintances have been peppering social media with pleas for help finding people. Sometimes they had no more than a first name to work with. Authorities now say they have located more than 3,100 people who had been reported as unreachable at some point during the catastrophe. “I think that’s a pretty remarkable number at this point,” Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said.

He also has revised the death toll down to 85 from 88, saying medical examiners determined several bags of human remains were duplicates. The Associated Press has been scouring the list of people unaccounted for and found duplicate names, misspellings and people who don’t appear to exist. People who were previously identified as dead or alive by family or friends have at times reappeared on the list. The list of names released each day frustrated those looking

for people and baffled residents whose names appeared even though they weren’t missing. Honea has repeatedly said he released the list — no matter how long at times — to reach those who may not know people were looking for them. He said it was never intended to be a definitive account of people who were missing or possibly dead. The AP located several people, including a couple who had decamped from the fire zone area for a previously planned vacation in Hawaii.

What Others Say

Together, Alaskans will recover and thrive It was a wake-up call — in some cases,

literally. At 8:29 a.m. Friday, Anchorage was hit by an earthquake described by residents as the most severe since the Good Friday earthquake of 1964. That quake, the most devastating in Alaska history and the second-strongest ever recorded worldwide, still lives on in the memories of Alaskans who experienced it. On Friday, we got a reminder. We were lucky. The earthquake, epicentered directly across Cook Inlet from downtown Anchorage, struck closer than any quake of similar magnitude since the city was established. Hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors were frightened but for the most part unharmed. There was extensive property damage, but nothing like the carnage of 1964, when Fourth Avenue swallowed cars and buildings as the ground below the city liquefied. In the days, weeks and months to come, life in Southcentral Alaska will return to normal, as we pick up what’s broken and fix pieces of infrastructure compromised by the earthquake. Some of that cleanup will be done by the city and state, but much will be done in our homes, as we sweep up broken glass, repair cracked drywall and attempt to locate pets that ran away during the quake. Your neighbors may well need your help; if you’re in a position to offer it, please do so. Be thorough and take care as you pick up what’s broken — most injuries resulting from earthquakes take place after the fact, when people cut themselves on broken glass, strain to pick up heavy fallen items or trip and fall on debris. Shards of glass or ceramic too small to be seen easily can cut you or your pets if you step on them. Be careful. And though the effects of the earthquake were serious, there is much to be thankful for that they were not worse. The quake should serve as a reminder to be prepared as best we can for natural disasters of all kinds. On a municipal and state level, that means making sure our roads, buildings and utilities can withstand the stresses of events like this. On a personal level, it means preparing for interruptions in services and supply lines. Keep several days’ worth of clean water on hand, as well as a good supply of food that can withstand relatively long periods without refrigeration. If you need electricity for heat or other essential services, a backup generator is a good investment. Most of all, the earthquake was a reminder of how much we depend on one another, and how much easier it is to deal with hardships when we face them together. Check on your friends and neighbors to make sure they’re all right, and offer whatever help you can manage. Alaska made it through the Good Friday earthquake, and it will recover from this one stronger than ever. All it will take is our work to make sure it happens. — Anchorage Daily News, Dec. 3

The fake-potpourri column

The word “potpourri” has a few definitions, but for a columnist it means writing about a bunch of unrelated stuff because he’s too lazy to come up with an overarching theme. Instead, he’ll take a superficial look at several developments. I have long experience doing that because of my career in TV news, where the marching orders were to “Get out there and scratch the surface!” What better frivolous way to begin this potpourri than with that fist bump, or whatever it was, at the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Russian President Vladimir Putin? They have a lot in common, those two. First, they’re both from murderers’ row. Second, they both have a huge amount of influence over Donald Trump. While their hand slaps are not up to end-zone-celebration quality, the leaders are doing quite well at playing the American president, although Trump is pretending his nose is currently out of joint with Putin. He insists it’s all about Russia’s belligerent behavior against Ukraine, including the shipboard capture of several sailors and boats ramming, but many suspect that it might have more to do not with collisions but with collusion. Back home, as the Trumpster is painfully aware, special counsel Robert Mueller seems to be tightening the vise on Trump’s, uh, whatevers. The Mueller investigation is obviously well

on its way to unraveling what appear to be boldfaced lies from Trump and his henchpeople about his motivations for allowing Vlad to have his way with him. The last thing the American president needs right Bob Franken now is a photo op of his way being had by the Russian president. Instead, they had to suffice with one or two furtive conversations, none of the typical one-on-ones, at least within earshot. They had to resort to whispering sweet nothings to each other without the world hearing them. Besides, with the death of a predecessor, George H.W. Bush, President Trump had to suddenly pivot away from his Mueller demonizing to the pretense of statesmanlike mourning that his office protocols require — ones even he could not ignore. It gave us a time to think about how far we’ve come as a country from our 41st chief executive to No. 45. It’s tempting to join everyone else and reflect on our loss of public manners, but were they merely a subterfuge? To a big extent, they were. True, past politicians would try really hard to put on their likable costume, complete with a mask of civility; Trump doesn’t even try wearing them. But our leaders

were just as cutthroat then as they are now. We still had wars, and we have always had massive corruption at all of society’s levels. We have learned some lessons. From Jim Crow, we’ve grudgingly evolved into a facade of equal opportunity — or did until this Trump guy came along to appeal to his followers’ darkest instincts, the ones they had been forced to suppress. Now they have been given permission to release their secret hatreds and resentments by a demagogue, Donald Trump, whose success is really just based on the anger over generations of gross incompetence and grand larcenies that preceded him. Add to that mix a social media democracy run amok and you see a landscape consumed by the wildfires of hatred and ignorance that rage out of control on this new technological frontier. The wildfires are not simply metaphors. The planet is actually heating to the boiling point. Global warming is not just a threat to our existence, but it’s one of many examples of disasters we no longer have the will to prevent. To a great extent, we’ve surrendered to the selfish few who control and misuse their immense power. So actually this is a potpourri, a collection of offenses by humans that threaten humanity. I suppose there is a common theme here after all, and that is we need to stop playing these silly games where everybody loses.

Ballot fraud investigation muddies North Carolina election By GARY D. ROBERTSON and EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Allegations of flagrant absentee ballot fraud in a North Carolina district have thrown the Election Day results of one of the nation’s last unresolved midterm congressional races into question. Unofficial ballot totals showed Republican Mark Harris ahead of Democrat Dan McCready by 905 votes in the 9th Congressional District. But the state elections board refused to certify the results last week in view of “claims of numerous irregularities and concerted fraudulent activities” involving mail-in ballots in the district. The elections board has subpoenaed documents from the Harris campaign, a campaign attorney confirmed Tuesday. Investigators seem to be concentrating on activities linked to a longtime political operative from Bladen County, where allegations about mail-in absentee ballots also surfaced two years ago during a tight election for governor. In affidavits offered by the state Democratic Party, voters described a woman coming to their homes to collect their absentee ballots, whether or not they had been completed properly. State law bars this kind of “harvesting” of absentee ballots, which must be submitted by mail or in person by the voter or a close family member. If the allegations are accurate, “this is the biggest absentee fraud in a generation or two

in North Carolina,” said Gerry Cohen, an election law expert and former longtime legislative staff attorney. “North Carolina has a long history of this kind of thing, particularly in rural areas.” Concerns about voter harvesting worried state election officials so much that they sent a letter to every Bladen County address where a voter requested a mail-in ballot asking the voter to call them if someone else tried take the ballot or fill it out. “Elections officials will never come to your house to pick up your absentee ballot or tell you how to vote,” the letter warned. The portion of Bladen County in the 9th District was the only place in the district’s eight counties where Harris won a majority of the mail-in ballots, according to unofficial election data. Bladen and Robeson County — where officials also have requested information — had the highest percentages of unreturned mail-in absentee ballots in the state, according to Catawba College political scientist Michael Bitzer. The total number of unreturned ballots for Bladen and Robeson in the 9th exceeded the current margin. The district attorney in Raleigh announced this week that she’s been investigating potential Bladen County “voting irregularities” since last January. The investigation that began with claims from 2016 has now spread to this year’s primary and general elections, Wake County DA Lorrin Freeman said in an interview. Freeman said she was investigating in part because of comments made by McCrae Dowless of Bladen County during a State Board of

Elections hearing in December 2016. Dowless worked as a contractor for Harris’ chief strategist in the campaign, Harris campaign lawyer John Branch confirmed Tuesday. Dowless, who served prison time in 1995 for felony fraud and was convicted of felony perjury in 1992, has worked on getout-the-vote efforts for various local and legislative candidates through the years. Dowless put his name on an elections protest, backed at the time by the campaign of then-GOP Gov. Pat McCrory, that alleged a “massive scheme” by a local political group to run an “absentee ballot mill” to improperly submit votes for a write-in candidate for a position Dowless was seeking. But the board peppered Dowless with questions about his own absentee ballot activities. Dowless acknowledged he hired people in 2016 to urge voters to turn in absentee ballot request forms, which is legal. In sworn testimony, Dowless said he never handled or filled out the actual ballots. The board dismissed Dowless’ protest but sent all of its evidence to local and federal prosecutors. Visited by a reporter Tuesday at his Bladenboro home, Dowless declined to comment. He said the voice on the speaker phone in his hand was that of an attorney advising he decline to describe his election activities. Documents released late Tuesday by the elections board as part of its investigation show Dowless appears to have been the top collector of Bladen County absentee ballot requests this fall. A copy of the Bladen election board’s log book shows Dowless turned in well over 500 applications.

US to suspend nuclear pact By LORNE COOK and MATTHEW LEE Associated Press

BRUSSELS — The United States will suspend its obligations under a landmark nuclear treaty in 60 days in response to Russia’s alleged violation of the pact, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Tuesday. Pompeo announced the decision after NATO allies meeting in Brussels supported Washington’s contention that Russia violated the terms of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty. “We either bury our head in the sand or we take common sense action,” he said. Accusing Russia of “cheating at its arms control obligations,” Pompeo said a sixmonth notice period for leaving the treaty would start in 60 days. President Donald Trump previously threatened to withdraw from the treaty signed by Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Washington alleges Russia’s new SSC8 missile system con-

travenes the Cold War-era treaty, which bans all land-based cruise missiles with a range between 500 and 5,500 kilometers (310-3,410 miles). Pompeo said Washington “would welcome a Russian change of heart” but that he has seen no indication Moscow is likely to comply.

Earlier Tuesday, foreign ministers from other NATO member countries said in a statement that they “strongly support the finding of the United States that Russia is in material breach of its obligations” under the arms pact. They called on Russia “to return urgently to full and verifiable compliance. It is now up

to Russia to preserve the INF Treaty.” Russia’s new SSC8 missile system is of major concern to NATO allies. The U.S. has shared intelligence evidence that the ground-fired cruise missile could give Moscow the ability to launch a nuclear strike in Europe with little or no notice.

GOP campaign arm reports ‘cyber intrusion’ By MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The National Republican Congressional Committee said Tuesday that it was hit with a “cyber intrusion” during the 2018 midterm campaigns and has reported the breach to the FBI. The committee provided few details about the incident, but said the intrusion was conducted by an “unknown entity.” “The cybersecurity of the committee’s data is paramount, and upon learning of the intrusion, the NRCC immediately launched an internal investigation and notified the FBI, which is now investigating the matter,” spokesman Ian Prior said in a statement. “To protect the integrity of that investigation, the NRCC will offer no further comment on the incident.” The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Politico first reported the cyberbreach. The severity and circumstances of the hacking weren’t made clear. Politically motivated cyberespionage is commonplace across the world, but

Americans have become particularly alert to the possibility of digital interference following the 2016 election. That hack is still fresh in the minds of many political operatives. In March 2018, NRCC Chairman Steve Stivers said the committee hired multiple cybersecurity staffers to work with its candidates and promised to do more. “We’re starting to advise campaigns, but we’re not ready to roll the whole thing out. We’re working on it,” Stivers said at the time. “We’re working on the technology-based stuff to try and make sure that we know what’s out there — which is hard, too — and then we try to defend against it the best we can.” In August, Microsoft alerted the public to attempts by government-backed Russian hackers to target U.S. conservatives’ email by creating fake websites that appeared to belong a pair of think tanks, the Hudson Institute and International Republican Institute. It also confirmed an attempt similarly attributed to Russian hackers to infiltrate the Senate computer network of

Sen. Claire McCaskill, the Missouri Democrat who lost a reelection bid in November. Google later confirmed in September that the personal Gmail accounts of multiple senators and staffers had recently been targeted by foreign hackers, though it did not specify the cyberspies’ nationality nor the party affiliations of the targets. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Russian statealigned hackers organized the leak of more than 150,000 emails stolen from more than a dozen Democrats. The FBI later said that the Russians had targeted more than 300 people affiliated with the Hillary Clinton campaign and other Democratic institutions over the course of the presidential contest. During the 2016 presidential election, WikiLeaks’ released hacked material damaging to Hillary Clinton’s presidential effort, and U.S. intelligence agencies have said Russia was the source of that hacked material. Special counsel Robert Mueller is now investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, possible Russian ties to Donald Trump’s presi-

dential campaign and whether anyone had had advance knowledge of WikiLeaks’ plans. Democratic lawmakers saw their cellphone numbers splashed online and voting databases for all 50 states had some type of intrusion attempt, although only a few were compromised. That included Illinois, where records on 90,000 voters had been downloaded. There was no evidence any votes were altered. Election systems are constantly under fire from efforts to steal sensitive data, disrupt services and undermine voter confidence.

Around the Nation Wisconsin’s Walker defies protesters on lame-duck session MADISON, Wis. — Demonstrators booed outgoing Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Tuesday at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony, drowning out a high school choir with their own songs in protest of a Republican effort to gut the powers of Walker’s Democratic successor. The governor, wearing a Santa tie, appeared unfazed as he flipped the switch while one protester shouted “Hey Walker! Go home!” He left without taking questions from reporters about the bills being considered by the rare lame-duck legislative session. Walker, who has signaled support for the measures, later tweeted that he “can handle the shouts,” but he urged protesters to “leave the kids alone.” Stung by their election loss last month, Republicans treated the lame-duck session as a final opportunity to use their political clout to weaken the next governor before time runs out. Democrats derided it as a cynical attempt to preserve the party’s power. “If he wanted to put a stop to this, he could,” said Russ Hahn, a 53-year-old attorney holding a sign that said “GOP Grinch Steals Democracy.” The fact that Walker was making no attempt to halt the effort “clearly indicates he wants to be able to control things outside the governor’s office for the next four or eight years,” Hahn said. Later Tuesday, the public was ordered removed from Senate galleries after repeated warnings to be quiet. Spectators shouted “Shame!” and hurled complaints at senators, temporarily halting debate, as they walked out under police escort. Less than an hour later, Republicans said they would let people back in. Walker burst onto the national political scene in 2011 with an aggressive anti-union agenda. Many of the same protesters who confronted him then returned to the Capitol on Tuesday — albeit in far fewer numbers. Protests reached 100,000 in 2011, but only a few dozen were on hand Tuesday. Democrats vowed to do all they could to stop the measures, which would weaken both Democratic Gov.-elect Tony Evers and Attorney General-elect Josh Kaul. Some hinted at filibusters or legal challenges and called the lame-duck session “illegitimate.” Former Democratic attorney general and Gov. Jim Doyle said the moves were unconstitutional. Never in Wisconsin history “has an extraordinary session been used to deny the will of the people and take away powers from the newly elected governor and newly elected attorney general,” Democratic Rep. Chris Taylor said. Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers met behind closed doors ahead of separate Assembly and Senate votes to send the bills to Walker. A GOP-controlled committee approved the measures late Monday after a nine-hour public hearing where only one person testified in support of one provision. The panel rejected a proposal to move the 2020 presidential primary date from April to March amid nearly unanimous opposition from the state’s local election clerks. — The Associated Press

Macron caves in to French protesters Last weekend, more than 130 people were injured and 412 arrested in rioting in the French capital. Shops were looted and cars torched in plush neighborhoods around the famed Champs-Elysees Avenue. The Arc de Triomphe was sprayed with graffiti and vandalized. Four people have been killed, officials said, and more protests are planned for this weekend. One unifying complaint among the leaderless protesters, who come from across the political and social spectrum, has been the anger at Macron and the perceived elitism of France’s aloof ruling class. Since returning from the G20 summit in Argentina, Macron has either remained in his palace residence or else shied away from speaking publicly about the protests that have created his biggest political crisis since taking office last May. It was Prime Minister Edouard Philippe who announced a six-month delay in the fuel tax increase that was to have begun in January. Just three weeks

By THOMAS ADAMSON Associated Press

PARIS — The French government caved in after Paris’ worst rioting in decades and delayed an increase in energy taxes Tuesday — but it was seen as “too little, too late” by many protesters whose anger seems increasingly focused on embattled President Emmanuel Macron. Demonstrators were back in the streets wearing their signature yellow vests. They blocked several fuel depots and, on a highway near the southern city of Aubagne, commandeered a toll booth to let motorists pass for free near a sign reading “Macron dictator.” The protests began Nov. 17 with motorists upset over the fuel tax increase, but have grown to encompass a range of complaints — the stagnant economy, social injustice and France’ tax system, one of the highest in Europe — and some now call for the government to resign.

ago, Philippe had insisted the government would be steadfast in the tax plans aimed at weaning French consumers off fossil fuels. He also announced a freeze in electricity and natural gas prices until May. “No tax is worth putting the nation’s unity in danger,” Philippe said in a live televised address.

Macron, for his part, visited a regional government headquarters that was torched by protesters, but he did not speak to reporters. The government U-turn appeared to appease few of the protesters, who wear the yellow vests that France requires motorists to have in their vehicles in case of roadside emergencies.

UK Parliament delivers rebuke to government over Brexit a collision course with an increasingly assertive Parliament over the next steps in the U.K.’s exit. Minutes before May rose to speak, lawmakers delivered a historic rebuke, finding her Conservative government in contempt of Parliament for refusing to publish the advice it had received from the country’s top law officer about the proposed terms of Brexit. The reprimand, by 311 votes to 293, marks the first time a British government has been found in contempt of Parliament. Labour Party Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer called the contempt finding “a badge of shame” for the government.

By JILL LAWLESS and RAF CASERT Associated Press

LONDON — Britain’s Parliament dealt Prime Minister Theresa May’s government two bruising defeats on Tuesday, even before lawmakers began an epic debate that will decide the fate of May’s European Union divorce deal — and of her political career. Opening five days of debate on the Brexit deal, May told Parliament that the British people had voted in 2016 to leave the EU, and it was the “duty of this Parliament to deliver on the result” of the referendum. Despite her entreaties, the government appeared to be on

Around the World

The government said that in light of the vote it would publish the advice from Attorney General Geoffrey Cox on Wednesday. The main thrust of Cox’s advice is already known — the government released a 43-page document on it Monday in a bid to fend off the contempt motion. But the contempt vote demonstrated the fragility of May’s government, which does not have a majority in Parliament. In another sign of the government’s weakness, lawmakers also passed an amendment giving Parliament more say over the government’s next steps if the divorce deal is rejected in a vote on Dec. 11.

The deal, endorsed last month by the 27 other EU leaders, lays out the terms of Britain’s departure from the bloc on March 29 and sets the framework for future relations with the EU. Rejecting it would leave the U.K. facing the prospect of a chaotic “no-deal” Brexit, but May’s chances of winning majority backing for the deal appear slim. Politicians on both sides of Britain’s EU membership debate oppose the agreement — pro-Brexit legislators because it keeps Britain bound closely to the EU, and pro-EU politicians because it erects barriers between the U.K. and its biggest trading partner.

JERUSALEM — Tens of thousands of protesters marched in Tel Aviv on Tuesday against what they see as the Israeli government’s inadequate response to violence against women. Red-capped demonstrators called for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “wake up” and carried signs reading “Women’s blood is not cheap” and “We are killed and the government is silent.” Organizers of the nationwide protests want the government to implement a $67 million plan it promised last year to combat violence against women. At least 24 women were killed in Israel this year, most of whom notified the police prior to their deaths that they were concerned for their safety. “We had to do something radical, to make sure that women in Israel show the government that we are not going to take this anymore,” said Ruti Klein, a protest organizer. Netanyahu came under fire last week after a visit to a women’s shelter where he demanded the government act. He was called out for voting against a proposal to establish a parliamentary commission of inquiry into violence against women. Dozens of major Israeli corporations and municipalities supported Tuesday’s strike by paying women who took leave. The protests cut across Israeli society’s many divides. Religious and secular Israelis, both Arabs and Jews alike, attended protests in every major city across the country. In Jerusalem, protesters splattered red paint on a street littered with signs bearing the names of dozens of women killed. Activists filled a Tel Aviv square with some 200 dyedred shoes meant to symbolize violence against women. Kefaia, 42, an Israeli Arab woman who joined the protests, said her husband was sentenced to only five months in prison for trying to kill her with a knife, and that she fears for her safety when he is released next week. She declined to give her last name for fear he would retaliate against her.

Prison riot erupts in eastern Yemen CAIRO — Riots have broken out in a government-run prison in Yemen’s eastern city of Mukalla. Gunfire rang out Tuesday from the Central Prison of Mukalla, where more than 100 inmates had been transferred from a detention center run by the United Arab Emirates at the nearby Riyan airport. The Associated Press has documented rampant abuses at the Riyan detention center. A detainee told the AP that at least 40 detainees have been on hunger strike for more than 10 days, demanding the release of inmates who have been acquitted and trials for those held without charge for nearly two years. Yemeni security officials described rioters as al-Qaida members who wanted to escape the prison. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to the press. — The Associated Press

About blizzards in Northern Colorado East and north of Fort Collins, Colorado 1940s and 1950s In Alaska, what someone called a blizzard does not hold a candle to the blizzard in northern Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska of Jan. 2, 1949. I actually have not been in a so-called blizzard on the Kenai Peninsula. Blowing snow and whiteouts, slick roads — but not an actual blizzard as I would define it. The blizzard of Jan. 2-7 of 1949 will be forever etched in many of our minds. The continuous 60 mph wind drove snow through window frames, doorways and attics. Ranches and farms were cut off for weeks. Cattle, horses, sheep and farm animals froze standing up and were found in the springtime after the snow drifts melted. John, Ginger and I remember snowdrifts so tall that we could walk on top of the garage roof just by climbing to the top of the drift. Telephone poles stuck out of the tall drifts like men with their arms out asking for help. Our farm — as well as everyone else who had farm animals — had to feed and take care of the animals through this vicious storm. Dad strung a rope from the house to the chicken house to the barn, and during the worst days of the storm he used this rope to hold on to while feeding and tending to the animals. He had the barn full of most of his cattle and horses and they all had to be fed. I can remember how worried we were when Dad — bundled up in every piece of warm clothing he could find, with several pairs of socks on his feet, his big boots on, and scarf around his mouth and nose — opened the kitchen door, quickly closed it, grabbed the rope line and headed for the chicken house and the barn. We all stood by the kitchen window waiting and worrying about our Dad until we could see him coming back with one gloved hand on the rope and a pail full of milk. He would be totally exhausted and terribly worried about his animals. We all listened carefully as he described the awful conditions. The first and second days of the storm did not cause too much worry as storms like that usually blew on through. This one stayed for five to seven days! During the night of the first day we lost electricity. To this day, I do not remember how we stayed warm or how Mom cooked for her family, except it must have been with a kerosene camp stove. To add to the worries, we ran out of water. Our water was delivered to us by the ”water-wagon man,” who delivered water every two weeks to a cemented cistern located in the garage. Two days after Christmas, I had my big toe operated on, and half my big toe nail was missing. Dr. Hoftinan said it had to be soaked in hot water and a blue solution twice a day. That was hard to do without water. Dad would bring in a big dishpan full of snow and Mom would melt it, only to leave two or three cups of water, because the snow was so dry and it also was full of grit, sand and dirt. In those days we had a milk separator and Mom used the round white milk filters to filter out the dirt. Then Dad would go back out and get another dishpan full of snow, which was melted down again until Mom had enough water to wash dishes, dampen one washcloth to wash our faces and for me to soak my big toe. This ritual was every morning after Dad came in from milking. At night we would light a “coal oil” lamp and we sat around the table or in the living room around the fireplace to stay warm. We all wore several layers of clothing to stay warm in the house. Mom’s canned fruit and vegetables and meat in the freezer kept us from being hungry. After the storm was over all the roads were drifted shut. The animals were in dire need of hay, and some farmers were in need of food. The National Guard was called out to deliver livestock supplies and deliver food. See ANNIE, page A8

Yukon Gold potatoes are the gold standard for this gratin By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

Potato gratin is a notoriously heavy side dish, laden with cream and gooey cheese. We wanted to shift the focus of this classic side dish to the potatoes. We chose Yukon Gold potatoes for their rich flavor and moderate starch content, which helped them hold their shape when cooked. Tossing the potatoes with fruity, flavorful extra-virgin olive oil heightened the flavor of the potatoes but didn’t overpower them. For a crisp, cheesy topping, we mixed more olive oil with panko bread crumbs and sprinkled the dish with sharp, salty Pecorino-Romano. For added depth, we added sauteed onions, fresh thyme, and garlic.

OLIVE OIL POTATO GRATIN Servings: 6-8 Start to finish: 2 hours 2 ounces Pecorino-Romano cheese, grated (1 cup) 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs Salt and pepper 2 onions, halved and sliced thin 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick, preferably with a mandoline Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 400 F. Grease 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Combine Pecorino, 3 tablespoons oil, panko, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in bowl; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 15 minutes. Add garlic and 1/2 teaspoon thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup broth and cook until nearly evaporated, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside. Toss potatoes, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme together in bowl. Arrange half of potatoes in prepared dish, spread onion mixture in even layer over potatoes, and distribute remaining potatoes over onions. Pour remaining 3/4 cup broth over potatoes. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove foil, top gratin with reserved Pecorino mixture, and continue to bake until top is golden brown and potatoes are completely tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.

Old stale bread transforms into croutons that top this soup By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

Don’t throw out stale bread. Seriously, don’t. Baguettes, sliced sandwich bread and even loaves of crusty white bread can be recycled into homemade croutons. Use a chef’s knife to cut the bread into cubes (1/2-inch to 3/4inch cubes are ideal). Toss the cubes with olive oil and some salt, and then spread them out on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake them in a 350 F oven, stirring once or twice so they brown evenly, until crisp and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Once cool, the croutons can be stored in an airtight container for a week or so. Use them in soups or salads. Follow this recipe with your kids.

GINGERY CARROT SOUP Servings 1-2 (Makes 2 cups) Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Prepare Ingredients: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 8 ounces carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/3 cups chicken or vegetable broth 1/3 cup milk Gather Cooking Equipment: Large saucepan with lid Wooden spoon Oven mitts Ladle Blender This undated photo provided by America’s Test Kitchen shows carrot ginger Dish towel soup in Brookline, Mass. (Carl Tremblay/America’s Test Kitchen via AP)

1 or 2 bowls or mugs Start Cooking! In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat for 1 minute (oil should be hot but not smoking). Add carrots, ginger, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in broth, increase heat to high, and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until carrots are very soft, about 15 minutes. Turn off heat and slide saucepan to cool burner. Use oven mitts to remove lid and let cool for 5 minutes. Use ladle to carefully transfer carrots and liquid into blender jar (liquid will be hot; ask an adult for help). Add milk. Place lid on top of blender and hold lid firmly in place with folded dish towel. Process until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour soup into bowls or mugs and serve. Ginger Prep: Use side of small spoon to scrape skin from one end of large piece of ginger. Peel away skin from about 1 inch of ginger. Use a chef’s knife to cut off peeled portion of ginger. Chop peeled ginger into small pieces. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 142 calories; 72 calories from fat; 8 g fat (1 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 4 mg cholesterol; 435 mg sodium; 15 g carbohydrate; 3 g fiber; 7 g sugar; 4 g protein. ——— America’s Test Kitchen provided this article to The Associated Press.

. . . Annie

You were instructed to tramp a big cross or plus sign in the snow and the big cargo Continued from page A7 planes would fly over and push out hay for the animals and food supplies to the stranded farmers and ranchers. Whenever we heard the big planes fly over, we all would rush out and stand on the steps to watch the hay bales and food boxes fall out of the sky. Mom warned us to stay close to the house so we would not be hit by a flying hay bale. The day after the storm subsided, Jan. 8, our neighbor lady said she was going to have her baby. Her husband walked to our farm and Dad started his John Deere front-end loader and dug through fields and around snowdrifts while they followed in a pickup to get her to the highway 2 miles away, which they hoped was open. They made it to the hospital in Fort Collins just in time!! That night Dad thought the baby’s name should be something like Snowdrift — if it was a girl — and if it was a boy —Blizzard. I do not have a clue what they named the baby. Mary Becker Donnell says in her whole life she will never forget the blizzard of ‘49. They were at their grandparents home when the blizzard struck — no TV or radio warnings in those days! Her brother and her dad walked home, about 2 miles, during the blizzard, because they had to take care of the livestock. Mary, her sister Ruth and her mom walked home when the blizzard was over and she will never forget how happy her mom was to see smoke coming out of the chimney of the house. Only then did she know that they had gotten home safely in the storm — Mary and her sister had a job too! They had to walk over the drifts of snow in the field and whenever they saw a hole in the snow they called either her dad or brother and they would dig out a live sheep! Wayne Scott lived on a city street just outside of Fort Collins and the snow didn’t affect them very much, but he does remember -42 degrees. There was an article in the paper about a horse that was stranded in the mountains. It had made a path about 100-feet long in the snow, walking back and forth. The National Guard flew bales of hay to her and kept her alive for weeks until they could get her out. We had several storms after that. They did not last very long. The drifts in everyone’s yard lasted until spring. The electric was restored and we had electricity after two weeks. Dad cleared out the yard with John Deere front-end loader and then went to neighbors and cleared their yards out, and checked to see if they needed anything. He would report to us every night on the conditions of our neighbors. In Alaska, when we are without power for seven to eight hours and the wind blows and the snow drifts, I cannot help but be reminded of this storm of 1949. Farmers and ranchers lost an enormous amount of cattle. Everyone helped everyone around them recover. I feel like I can go through snowing in Alaska and enjoy the beauty of each and every day. Oh! But wait — our winter has just begun! It’s the rain and ice we have to deal with now. I believe just maybe that is worse than 10 feet of snow. Do not forget to thank God for our United States of America!

Crinkle cookies look pretty but can they taste better?

Rolled in powdered sugar before baking, chocolate crinkle cookies (often called earthquakes) feature chocolaty fissures that break through the bright white surface during baking. While striking in appearance, these cookies often fall short on taste. Using a combination of cocoa powder and unsweetened bar chocolate rather than bittersweet chocolate (which contains sugar) certainly upped the

intensity, and swapping brown sugar for the granulated created a complex sweetness. At this point, the cookies had deep, rich flavor, but the exterior cracks were too few and too wide, and the cookies weren’t spreading enough. Using a combination of baking soda and baking powder helped—the bubbles produced by the leaveners rose to the surface and burst, leaving fissures—but the cracks gapped. We had been refrigerating this fluid dough overnight be-

Meyer to retire after Ohio State bowl game By MITCH STACY AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — As Urban Meyer walked off the field after Ohio State routed Michigan, he was pondering his future and when to make a decision about when to call it quits. The 54-year-old Meyer, in fact, had been thinking about retiring since the middle of last season. The pain from headaches caused by an arachnoid cyst in his brain had grown worse this season. Off-the-field issues, including a three-game suspension for mismanagement of an assistant coach accused of domestic violence, had worn on him. And an ideal successor just happened to already be

in place in the person of Ryan Day, his 39-year-old offensive coordinator. On Tuesday, two days after the Buckeyes beat Northwestern to earn a second consecutive Big Ten championship, Meyer announced he was stepping down after the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 and likely would never coach again. “The decision was a result of cumulative events,” Meyer said during a packed news conference. “And health number one. The fact that we have an elite coach on our staff. The fact that our program is very healthy. We’ve recruited very well. All played a significant role in this.” Meyer is leaving at the top of his profession after three national cham-

pionships in a career spanning three decades, the last seven years at Ohio State, where he has an 82-9 record. He had shown obvious effects of being in pain on the sideline this season, leading to questions about his future. Meyer explained that the headaches became severe last season during Ohio State’s game at Penn State and have become a persistent problem this season. Meyer said he believed he could no longer coach the way he has from the early days at Bowling Green to Utah, Florida and, finally, with the Buckeyes. “The style of coaching I’ve done for 33 years is very intense, very demanding. I tried to delegate more and CEO more and the product started to feel

...,” he said, not finishing his thought. “I didn’t feel I was doing right by our players and by Gene (Smith, the athletic director).” Meyer said leaving would have been more difficult if the program wasn’t healthy. The Buckeyes are 12-1 and Meyer said he felt good about his replacement. Day will take over as the 25th coach of the storied program where Meyer won a national title in 2014 after two at Florida (2006, 2008). “You want to hand it off to someone who could make it stronger,” Meyer said. It was Day who led the Buckeyes when Meyer was suspended before the season opener over his role in the handling of now-fired assistant Zach Smith,

who was accused by his ex-wife of domestic abuse. Meyer said he knew about the allegations against Smith — grandson of former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce — but wasn’t sure they were true and kept Smith on staff because no criminal charges were filed. The university cited that lapse in suspending Meyer after an investigation. A report issued by an investigative committee left a stain, detailing behavior by Meyer that could have taken down a coach of lesser stature. The investigation showed he tolerated bad behavior for years from Smith, including domestic-violence accusations, drug addiction, lies and other acts that directly clash with the values Meyer touts publicly.

Time for Meyer to step away for good By TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist

Urban Meyer stood before Ohio State boosters seven years ago with one goal in mind as he returned to the state he grew up in and the university where he got his first job. “Our objective is simple: to make the state of Ohio proud,” Meyer said. As Meyer walks away from coaching — perhaps for good — the final report card on that is mixed, at best. Yes, there was a lot to be proud of on the field, where Meyer earned his huge salary and more. Under his watch, the Buckeyes won a national championship and lost only nine times in seven years. Those are the kind of numbers that get statues erected for coaches at some schools. But there won’t be any statue of Meyer out in front of the Horseshoe in Columbus. Too much baggage and too many questions about his judgment and propensity for disregarding the truth for that to happen. It’s a conflicted legacy in a world where success is almost always defined by wins and losses. For all the victories Meyer had — and all the money he made — it was getting increasingly hard to believe some of the things that came out of his mouth. That was a problem every time he stepped before a microphone to talk about his team.

And it was surely becoming more of a problem when the parents of 18-year-old recruits began asking the kind of hard questions that Meyer had no desire to answer. He should have been fired before the season even began, after a university report showed he tolerated domestic violence accusations and other bad behavior from assistant coach Zach Smith — and then lied about what he knew. Meyer kept his job but didn’t do his cause any good with a series of defiant statements that seemed to portray himself as the real victim in the ongoing drama. After a three-game suspension , Meyer was back on the sideline and ended up leading Ohio State to a Rose Bowl appearance that at any other school might have been considered a successful season. But even before he announced his resignation Tuesday — ostensibly for health reasons — it was becoming increasingly clear that Meyer wouldn’t be completing a contract that paid him $7.6 million a season and ran through 2022. Again, too much baggage and too many questions. Meyer seemed to acknowledge as much when asked whether the suspension would cloud his legacy once he leaves Ohio State. “I’m sure it will ... I can lie to you and say it is not important to me,” he said. Probably not the best choice See MEYER, page A10

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Former Clemson starting quarterback Kelly Bryant says he’ll play his final season at Missouri. Bryant released a video on social media that ended with a player in a Missouri uniform and fans chanting “M-I-Z” for its nickname “Mizzou.” Bryant had visited several schools after he announced his transfer from Clemson because he was demoted as starting quarterback behind freshman Trevor Lawrence. Others he

met with included Arkansas, Auburn, Mississippi State and North Carolina. The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Bryant helped Clemson win an Atlantic Coast Conference title and reach the College Football Playoff in 2017. He started the first four games for Clemson this season before Lawrence took the starting job. Bryant was 16-2 as Clemson’s starter. He threw for 3,263 yards, 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions the last two seasons.

Streaking Leafs win 5th straight with OT goal by Matthews By The Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Auston Matthews scored his second goal with three seconds on the clock in overtime, and the Toronto Maple Leafs matched their best start in 84 years with a 4-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night. The Maple Leafs won their fifth straight game and improved to 20-8. The only other time it took them just 28 games to reach 20 wins was when they opened the 1934-35 season at 206-2. Patrick Marleau scored with 5:13 remaining in regulation to force overtime, and Kasperi Kapanen set up the decisive goal. Jake Gardiner also scored and Mitchell Marner had an assist to give him 11 in five games. Frederik Andersen stopped 38 shots to win his fourth straight. Jack Eichel scored twice for Buf-

of words considering everything. But football is Meyer’s life work, and how he’ll be remembered for that work is important to him, as it should be. He won two national titles at Florida and added a third at Ohio State. Aside from Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, he’s the only coach in the country who hasn’t been steamrolled totally by Nick Saban and the machine he’s built at Alabama. But the controversy that Meyer played a big part in creating was never going to completely go away. Meyer wasn’t going to win in the court of public opinion like he won on the football field, no matter how aggrieved he felt. And, in the end, maybe there’s one thing we can take Meyer’s word on — and that’s his health. It was hard to watch Meyer at times on the sideline this year bent over from pain from a cyst in his brain that causes severe headaches. And don’t forget that he left Florida earlier because of stress-related issues.

Seven Kings scored in double figures, including Bogdan Bogdanovic off the bench with 14 points. Sacramento has won two straight after losing its previous three.

Meyer said he doubts he will coach again, and that’s the right call. He’s got nothing more to prove on the field, and he’s never going to prove to his detractors that he is a different person than they think he is. But if the mark of a good coach is that his former players still love him, Meyer seems good on that count. A number of them took to social media to give their thanks as the news of his retirement spread. “To the man who gave me the opportunity of a lifetime,” Detroit Lions offensive tackle Taylor Decker, a former Ohio State star, posted on Instagram , “and whose football program molded me into a man ... all I can say is THANK YOU.” Meyer will coach on New Year’s Day against Washington in his first — and presumably last — Rose Bowl. With designated successor Ryan Day by his side, Meyer will try for one last win before going on to an undefined role at OSU, presumably with a settlement of the $38 million he has left on his contract. It’s a good way for Meyer to go out. And a really good time to say goodbye.

Crossword

A normal life eludes victim of repeated childhood abuse success. Please let me hear from you again and tell me how you are doing. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 29-year-old woman living on my own an hour away from my family. My parents were bitterly divorced 10 years ago, and a year ago I lost my father to cancer. At the time, my mother voiced her disapproval of my going to be with him on his deathbed. The day Abigail Van Buren he passed, she told me not to be too sad because “he was thinking about suicide anyway.” I have so much anger toward her for these and other things her emotional immaturity has led her to do or say. On the one-year anniversary of Daddy’s death, she tried to pick a fight with me for “obviously not wanting to talk” to her. It prompted me to do exactly that, and I calmly discontinued speaking with her. The past two weeks without my mother’s voice in my life have been the longest stretch of peace and confidence I have experienced in a long time, but her birthday is coming up, and I worry that I am being a

bad daughter by continuing not to talk to her. What’s more important -- healing the breach, or my own mental health? -- CONFLICTED DAUGHTER DEAR DAUGHTER: For both your sakes, do both if you can manage it. Try this: Explain to your mother the reason for your sudden silence. Set some firm boundaries. If she cooperates, you will still be able to have a relationship with her. If she doesn’t, at least you will know you tried. DEAR ABBY: I have asked my husband to please not spit in the kitchen sink or to floss his teeth at the kitchen table. He responds by getting mad and huffing off like I am being a nag. Am I in the wrong? Does he have the right to gross me out this way? -- DISGUSTED IN MINNESOTA DEAR DISGUSTED: Considerate spouses refrain from doing things they know will annoy their partner. I’m sure if your gem of a husband told you not to do something that bothers him, you would respect his wishes. Well, it’s supposed to work both ways. 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. DearAbby.com or P.O.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2018: This year is exciting and encourages communication to flourish. Although some of the people in your life might seem controlling, the majority appear to be easygoing and fun. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance during the next year. How the relationship begins might not be indicative of where it will end up. If you are attached, you and your partner sometimes do not see eye to eye; however, in general, the two of you tend to find a midpoint of agreement. Your bond has a romantic tone to it this year. SAGITTARIUS often costs you more than you might like to spend. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Look at an issue that could have created fireworks. Others appreciate your passion, as long as it is not directed at them. A reversal on your part could shake up the status quo. Remember, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Tonight: A long-overdue chat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might be taken aback by everything that is going on around you. Experience your feelings rather than act on them; otherwise, you might just be adding fuel to the fire. Once you reach a realization, a conversation becomes far more plausible. Tonight: Not to be found. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Honor a change involving a friend. You can’t take back words you’ve said. Though you could have a strong reaction, try discussing your

feelings without inflaming a situation. Working as a group proves far more effective than being independent. Tonight: Where you want to be. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Take a stand, move forward and handle a problem. Your sensitivity mixes well with your practical nature. Together, these assets will help you wade through muddy waters and come out sparkling clean. Know that you have what it takes, and trust yourself. Tonight: In the limelight. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Read between the lines as you walk into a situation where people have strong opinions. Understand the underlying issue. Help others see what they have in common, as opposed to what is different. Communication allows greater give-and-take. Tonight: Return calls, then decide. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A partner could be somewhat difficult. You might have a strong reaction as a result. Resist going off on a spending spree while in this mood. A discussion is necessary. You understand the importance of timing; just wait. Tonight: Spend time with your best friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to others. You could have a difficult time maintaining your authority. Walk in the other direction, and refuse to be a part of this situation. The other parties might be floored, but they will look at their actions as a result. Tonight: Entertain suggestions, but do what you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Listen to what is being offered, even if you don’t like what you hear at first. Pace yourself and accom-

plish what you must before following someone’s chosen path. You have the drive to get a lot done. Stay focused. Tonight: You deserve to take it easy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your playfulness might not be in tune with others’ moods. Someone you care about could be on the warpath. This person’s actions and words might surprise you. Be a good listener, and look for solutions. Your willingness to help will come through. Tonight: Time for fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Stay centered, and know where you are coming from. Avoid testing out ideas on others right now. An unexpected insight tumbles into your lap and forces you to regroup. You can’t avoid a personal matter and/ or an issue involving real estate. Tonight: Have an important discussion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You are coming from a good place, but suddenly you might find yourself feeling angry. Focus on how you can change the outcome of the situation. Do not rely on the tried and true. Have an important discussion when you feel more settled. Tonight: Hang out at a favorite haunt. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Be aware of your spending. No matter what you do, you seem to make choices that could cause a problem. Perhaps you need more information and feedback, as you have yet to see a clear path. You will be given time and openness. Tonight: Pay your bills first.

CRUSHED FRUIT Dear Heloise: I discovered that when I buy soft fruit (such as berries or fresh peaches), if I put it in a plastic bag and trap as much air in the bag as possible before closing it, I can cushion the fruit to prevent it from being damaged. -- Georgia J., Casselberry, Fla. TO REFRIGERATE OR NOT? Dear Heloise: I was recently married, and in the household I came from, we always refrigerated ketchup after it was opened. My new husband came from a household where they didn’t like anything cold, so they did not refrigerate ketchup. So, my question is: Should we refrigerate ketchup or not? -- Stella V., Napa, Calif. Stella, all ketchup and mustard should be refrigerated after opening to retain flavor and freshness. -- Heloise A NONSTICK SITUATION Dear Heloise: My son put three of my nonstick pans in the dishwasher three or four times while my husband and I were on a cruise. Needless to say, they’re ruined! Can these pans be re-coated to make them nonstick pans again? -- Susan M., Jonesboro, Ark. Susan, I checked with a few manufacturers, who said placing a nonstick pan in the dishwasher is a “no-no.” Once you do that (especially if you do it more than a couple of times), the pan is ruined and cannot be re-coated again. Nonstick pans need to be washed by hand with a gentle soap and a soft sponge. Don’t use abrasive or caustic cleaners. -- Heloise Give a cap this twist Dear Heloise: One of my favorite hints is very simple: When trying to open a bottle that’s hard to open, I use a NUTCRACKER to grip the cap and twist it off. Most grocery stores sell metal nutcrackers. -- Shirley L., Locust Grove, Va.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 53-year-old woman who is a sexual abuse survivor. This has consumed every aspect of my life. It started when I was around 2, I believe, and was a daily occurrence until I was 14. My abuser was my paternal grandfather, now deceased. I’ve sought counseling and therapy groups -- whatever I could -- over the years, to no avail. I just can’t shake it. I have dealt with flashbacks, nightmares, failed marriages, etc. I just want to be and feel normal, and I don’t know how. Am I searching for something that does not exist? I don’t know if you can help me, but PLEASE, if you have any advice at all, I would be beyond grateful. -- LOST IN THE SOUTH DEAR LOST: My heart goes out to you. You have experienced an atrocity. The groups you have been attending may not have been the right ones for you. One-on-one sessions with a licensed mental health professional, someone who specializes in working with victims of sexual abuse and/or PTSD, might be more appropriate. A good place to start finding the help you’re looking for would be the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN). It’s the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence network. You can find it online at rainn. org or by calling 800-656-4673. I wish you healing and

It was the 13th with a magnitude of 4.5 and above since Friday’s quake, according to U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist John Bellini. More than 2,100 aftershocks have occurred since the first earthquake, including a 5.7 shaker that arrived within minutes. The vast majority of the aftershocks are too small to feel, Bellini said. Friday’s earthquake damaged roads and structures, cracked roadways and collapsed highway ramps. But no catastrophic damage, injuries or deaths have been reported.

possession and distribution of child pornography. In August, he was charged with four additional counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, and four counts of indecent viewing or photography. The sexual abuse dates back to 2002, according to the complaints filed against Elliott. Elliott coached junior varsity hockey from 2008 to 2010 at

Soldotna High School, and was an assistant coach for the varsity team for the 2007-2008 season, according to a 2012-2013 Soldotna Hockey Program. In February, unnamed plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, the Kenai Peninsula Hockey Association and Elliott seeking damages in excess of $100,000. The suit

alleges that through his association with the school and the hockey organization Elliott was able to build relationships with families and gain their trust, and that the hockey association and school district were negligent in their hiring, training and supervision practices. A status hearing in the case is scheduled for Dec. 18.

X’unei Lance Twitchell, University of Alaska professor and language/culture consultant and writer for “Molly of Denali,” said there definitely aren’t many shows with a protagonist like Molly. “It means a lot,” Twitchell said. “The main character is an Alaska Native female.” The presentation about the animated show, which is expected to premiere summer of 2019, was the focus of the last Egan lecture of Alaska Native Heritage Month. Twitchell delivered the lecture instead of the show’s creative producer Princess Daazhraii Johnson, who was unable to fly out of Fairbanks because of delays caused by the earthquakes that rocked Anchorage on Friday. “Molly of Denali” not only features Alaska Native characters on screen, but involves Native voice actors, writers and more.

of Flynn’s sentencing and just over a year after he became the first of five Trump associates to accept responsibility by pleading guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. Though prosecutors withheld specific details of Flynn’s cooperation because of ongoing investigations, their filing nonetheless illustrates the breadth of information Mueller has obtained from people close to Trump as the president increasingly vents his anger at the probe — and those who cooperate with it. This week, Trump accused his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, of making up “stories” to get a reduced prison sentence after pleading guilty to lying to Congress and also praised longtime confidante Roger Stone for saying he wouldn’t testify against Trump. It’s unclear if Trump will now

Twitchell said it adheres to the “nothing about us without us,” idea. The narrative sovereignty allowed Alaska Native creators to decide how their cultures and values would be depicted. Over the years, that often has not been the case, which has led to misguided or outright racist depictions of indigenous people. “How many shows feature Alaska Native characters?” Twitchell said. “As I raise my kids, I’ll go ‘Oh, we used to watch this all the time,’ and it will end, and I’ll say, ‘We’re never watching this again.’” As an example, he played a snippet of Disney’s “Peter Pan,” and as a counterpoint he shared a few work-in-progress segments of “Molly of Denali.” While audience members were barred from filming the sneak peek or discussing plot particulars too closely, the show introduced a diverse cast of young characters, including the 10-year-old title character, who lives above a trading post, and her multicultural friends and their relatives.

“My goals are to entertain and put diversity on the screen in an authentic way,” Twitchell said. The show moved quickly and exposition and morals were dispensed during kinetic adventures. The show’s young characters showed resourcefulness and tenacity in solving problems, but had no qualms about turning to adults for help. Twitchell said some of the values the show intends to extol are sharing with others, honoring elders, seeing connections and more. “Molly of Denali” also addressed some sensitive issues related to the historical mistreatment of Alaska Natives that left Kolene James, audience member and coordinator for the Native and Rural Student Center for UAS, emotional. She commended the show for tackling weighty topics as well as providing characters with whom Alaska Native children will identify. “Being a parent of three beautiful children, to see someone who looks like them is pretty amazing,” James said.

“Molly of Denali,” an animated show about an Alaska Native girl, her friends and family is expected to debut this summer. University of Alaska Southeast professor X’unei Lance Twitchell started out as a language and culture consultant for the show but more recently has taken on a writing role.

turn his fury on Flynn, whom Trump bonded with during the 2016 campaign. Trump has repeatedly lamented how Flynn’s life has been destroyed by the special counsel’s probe. At one point, he tried to protect Flynn by asking former FBI Director James Comey to drop an investigation into his alleged false statements, according to a memo Comey wrote after the February 2017 encounter. That episode, which Trump has denied, is among those under scrutiny by Mueller as he probes whether the president attempted to obstruct the Russia investigation. Federal sentencing guidelines recommend between zero and six months in prison, and Mueller’s office said Flynn’s cooperation merits no prison time. Prosecutors said Flynn’s early cooperation was “particularly valuable” because he was “one of the few people with long-term and firsthand insight” into the events under investigation. They noted his cooperation likely inspired other crucial witnesses to

cooperate. Mueller’s team credited Flynn with serving 33 years in the U.S. Army, including five years in combat. But prosecutors also said the long military and government service that sets him apart from all other defendants in the investigation made his deception more troublesome. “The defendant’s extensive government service should have made him particularly aware of the harm caused by providing false information to the government, as well as the rules governing work performed on behalf of a foreign government,” they wrote. Flynn’s case has stood apart from those of other Trump associates, who have aggressively criticized the investigation, sought to undermine it and, in some cases, been accused of lying even after agreeing to cooperate. Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, is accused of repeatedly lying to investigators since his guilty plea. Another Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, is serv-

ing a 14-day prison sentence and, though he pleaded guilty to the same crime as Flynn, was denied probation because prosecutors said his cooperation was lacking. But Flynn has largely remained out of the public eye, appearing only sporadically in media interviews or campaign events, and avoided criticizing the Mueller probe despite widespread encouragement from his supporters to go on the offensive. He has instead spent considerable time with his family and worked to position himself for a post-conviction career. In Tuesday’s filing, prosecutors emphasized that the conduct Flynn lied about cuts to the core of the investigation into any coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Flynn’s false statements stemmed from a Jan. 24, 2017, interview with the FBI about his interactions with Sergey Kislyak, Russia’s then-ambassador to the U.S., as the Obama administration was levying sanctions on the Kremlin in response to election interference. Mueller’s office blamed Flynn

for other senior Trump transition officials making misleading public statements about his contacts with Russia, an assertion that matches the White House’s explanation of Flynn’s firing. “Several senior members of the transition team publicly repeated false information conveyed to them by the defendant about communications between him and the Russian ambassador regarding the sanctions,” the filing said. As part of his plea deal, Flynn said members of Trump’s inner circle, including his son-in-law and White House aide Jared Kushner, were involved in — and at times directing — his actions in the weeks before Trump took office. According to court papers, in mid-December 2016, Kushner directed Flynn to reach out to several countries, including Russia, about a U.N. Security Council resolution regarding Israeli settlements. During those conversations with Kislyak, Flynn asked Russia to delay or vote against the resolution, a request the Kremlin ultimately rejected. Flynn also admitted that later in

December 2016 he asked Kislyak not to retaliate in response to the Obama administration sanctions, something he initially told FBI agents he didn’t do. Flynn made the request after discussing it with deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland, who was at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, and being told that Trump’s transition team did not want Russia to escalate the situation. Flynn was forced to resign his post on Feb. 13, 2017, after news reports revealed that Obama administration officials had warned the Trump White House about Flynn’s false statements. The White House has said Flynn misled officials— including Vice President Mike Pence — about the content of his conversations. Flynn also admitted to making false statements about unregistered foreign agent work he performed for the benefit of the Turkish government, a matter Mueller’s team cited in Tuesday’s filing. Flynn was under investigation by the Justice Department for the work when he became national security adviser.
