Peninsula schools to start late due to weather conditions Weather conditions have prompted schools across the peninsula to delay school times on Monday, Dec. 3. All Kenai Peninsula Borough School District schools will have a twohour delay. A two-hour delay means that buses run two hours later than normal, school begins two hours later than normal, and staff arrives at school two hours later than normal. Parents and guardians who decide — based on weather conditions — to keep their child at home, should call schools to let them know. Absences will be excused. If weather and road conditions warrant a full closure, an announcement will be made by 7 a.m. The Kenai River Campus in Soldotna will also have a two-delay in start time Monday, Dec. 3, due to unsafe road conditions. This delay applies to students, staff and faculty. Director Gary J. Turner will announce any additional information as conditions change. At this time, the Kachemak Bay Campus in Homer will be open for regular hours, Monday, Dec. 3. — Staff

Officials: Food, fuel supplies not disrupted by earthquake By MARK THIESSEN Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — The supply chain of food and other goods delivered to the Port of Anchorage from the Lower 48 has not been disrupted by the powerful earthquake that caused widespread damage to roads in the Anchorage area. “The ships are coming in on schedule, the supply lines are at this point uninterrupted,” Anchorage Mayor Ethan Berkowitz said Sunday at a news conference. The magnitude 7.0 earthquake rattled the state’s largest city early Friday morning swaying buildings and fraying nerves. There were no reports of deaths, serious injuries or structural damage to buildings. Roads, however, took the brunt of the damage, especially the scenic Glenn High- Empty shelves where bread is normally located are shown at a grocery store in Anchorage on way, which links Anchorage to Sunday, two days after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake was centered about 7 miles north of the suburban communities to the city.

Resurrection Bay-based R/V Sikuliaq connects scientists to a sea of research By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion
After over a month spent docked in Seward, the R/V Sikuliaq set sail last Wednesday. The vibrant blue-hulled, 261foot oceanographic research vessel left on a 10-day trip out to the Gulf of Alaska and then down to Seattle, taking a roundabout route to pick up scientific instruments along the way before it pulls into port for a winter of maintenance. As one of just five global class ships in the University of National Oceanographic Laboratory System, the R/V Sikuliaq, pronounced see-KOO-lee-auk, can be found in waters across the world, but calls Resurrection Bay home. “The fact that we’re global class allows us to go worldwide,” said Third Mate Arthur Levine, who has been working on the R/V Sikuliaq for nearly three years. “Generally, though, we stay around here to support Alaska research… Some of the other global ships are comparable to us, but they’re not up here as much. They don’t have that inherent Alaska connection, our ability to operate in the Pacific Northwest, and up here in Alaska is our bread

and butter.” Levine has travelled north, south, east and west with the research vessel, spending a majority of the year away from his home
in Massachusetts to help facilitate the scientific research conducted with the R/V Sikuliaq. The vessel is owned by the National Science Foundation, but operated by the
University of Fairbanks College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, which provides logistical support from its office, the UAF Seward

Troopers apprehend armed man on highway near Ninilchik By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News
Alaska State Troopers on Sunday took into custody an armed man involved in a stand-off near Mile 131 Sterling Highway near Ninilchik. Except for minor injuries to the suspect, no one else was injured in the incident. Troopers shut down the highway about 6:30 a.m. Sunday, after receiving reports of an armed man stopped in a green Toyota 4-Runner SUV in the middle of the northbound lane. No shots were fired in the incident. As of 12:30 p.m., troopers had opened one lane of the highway as they examined the suspect vehicle in the other lane. According to Alaska State Trooper Capt. Maurice Hughes of E Detachment, Soldotna, at about 6:30 a.m. trooper dispatch received reports of a man stopped in a car with weapons. Hughes said troopers are still investigating if the man aimed or brandished weapons at anyone. Troopers responded and saw that the man was armed. They attempted to contact the man, but backed off when he became noncommunicative. Troopers then brought in a Bearcat tactical response vehicle, an armored truck that allowed troopers to get in closer to the man so they could talk to him safely. Hughes said the man seemed to be having some sort of crisis. Troopers were unable to talk the man into coming out of his car. “That didn’t work,” Hughes said. “We deployed gas into the vehicle … He put his weapons down. We took him into custody.” Hughes said the man had blood on his hands, but he didn’t know how the man had been injured. Medics treated the man at the scene and took him to Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna. The incident remains under investigation. No charges have yet been filed and troopers have not named the suspect. At least eight officers responded, including an Alaska State Parks ranger.
Homer pot shop gets Gov. Walker discusses how fiscal crisis dominated tenure city’s OK on license By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire
Gov. Bill Walker knew he’d leave office with unfinished business. Every elected official does. But he just wishes he didn’t have to spend almost his whole four-year term as Alaska’s governor dealing with one issue. Navigating the state’s fiscal crisis took most of Walker’s time in office. As he sat in a third-floor conference room at the Alaska State Capitol and spoke to the Juneau Empire about his time in of- Gov. Bill Walker talks about his four years as governor during fice, he said that was one of an interview on Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2018. (Michael Penn/ See GOV, page A13 Juneau Empire)
By MEGAN PACER Homer News
A new cannabis operation in Homer is another step closer to having all the licensing it needs in order to open. 420 on Main, if fully licensed and approved by state inspectors, will be a cannabis retail, cultivation and manufacturing business located in the same building as Red Door Laundry on Main Street. It joins Uncle Herb’s in the retail market, but would be Homer’s first licensed manufacturing facility. At its Monday meeting on Nov. 26, the Homer City Council approved a memo regarding the business’ standard mari-
juana product manufacturing license. An application for the license has been submitted to the Marijuana Control Board and is up for approval at the board’s next meeting on Dec. 20 in Anchorage. Council members voted unanimously to not protest the manufacturing license. Council member Rachel Lord pointed out that the city cannot actually approve licenses, only protest them or do nothing. The establishment’s owner, Robert “Bob” Bornt, was at the meeting and thanked the council members for their decision. Hailing from Southern California, Bornt came to the area

Rare December tornadoes reported in central US, killing 1 By MICHAEL TARM Associated Press
Residents in central Illinois on Sunday assessed the damage after rare December tornadoes, including one the day before that was a half-mile-wide, ripped roofs off homes in Taylorville, downed power lines and injured at least 20 people. The severe weather in Illinois was part of a line of thunderstorms that raked areas of the central U.S. late Friday and into Saturday, killing one person in Missouri. The National Weather Service confirmed tornadoes in Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma. At least three tornadoes were confirmed in northwest and southwest Arkansas, which largely caused property and structural damage. No injuries or fatalities were reported. Peak months for tornadoes in much of the Midwest are April and June, according to the weather service. But at least 12 tornadoes were reported in Illinois on Saturday, including the Taylorville tornado, which has been confirmed. If the majority are confirmed, that would be the most tornadoes in Illinois in a December storm since Dec. 18-19, 1957, when there were 21. The weather service sent crews Sunday to survey the hardest-hit areas in Illinois, which included Taylorville, 25 miles southeast of Springfield. Photographs and video from Taylorville showed several houses flattened, with residents wading into debris to salvage what they could. Some homes remained standing but with gaping holes in the roofs or with no roofs at all. The tornado was on the ground for around 10 miles before it thundered through Taylorville, and the weather service was able to warn residents of its arrival 41 minutes before it actually struck, Chris Miller, a meteorologist at the service’s Lincoln office, said in a phone interview Sunday. That advanced warning gave people critical time to take

cover and may have saved lives. Assistant Fire Chief Andy Goodall, speaking to reporters Saturday night shortly after the storm pounded the city of 11,000, said at least 100 homes had major damage, including his own, Springfield’s State Journal-Register reported. A Taylorville Memorial Hospital spokesman said 21 people, from age 9 to 97, arrived for treatment Saturday. Most were released within hours. Miller said three people remained hospitalized as of Sunday afternoon. Miller said preliminary estimates are that the Taylorville tornado may have been an EF2, which indicates wind speeds as high as 135 mph. It could take several more days to know for sure. The weather service said Sunday that a strong tornado that developed from severe thunderstorms Friday night touched down in Van Buren, Arkansas. It was rated an EF2. About 10 minutes later, a second weaker tornado was confirmed less than 10 miles away
near the town of Rudy, Arkansas. Damage surveys for the two tornadoes are ongoing but officials said dozens of homes were damaged. Early Saturday morning a third
tornado with estimated peak winds of 107 mph traveled about 8.5 miles through Spring Hill in southwest Arkansas. Its path was intermittent and mostly caused damage to trees and to some structures.
In brief Unseasonably mild temperatures nix penguin parade at zoo PITTSBURGH — Unseasonably mild temperatures are stopping penguins from parading around the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium as planned. The zoo’s “Penguins on Parade” event usually kicks off each year at the start of December. But temperatures in the area reached into the mid-50s on Saturday and were expected to hit the mid-60s on Sunday, so officials delayed the launch until Dec. 8. The zoo’s website says temperatures must hover below 45 degrees to be safe for the penguins. The penguins decide how long they will walk outside or play in the snow near their home during the event, which officials say could last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. The event is usually held each weekend through February. — Associated Press

Marine Center on Railway Ave. “They’re our support group … You name it, it’s endless,” said Captain Diego Mello, who has helmed the R/V Sikuliaq for about two years. “They’re one of the most important support mechanisms to keep us rolling, to support science, which is a big deal.” The vessel hosts a consortium of scientists to conduct research using a wide array of tools on the ship. It was delivered to the crew in 2014, meaning it’s a newer ship with a lot of the bells and whistles. Although the Sikuliaq isn’t an ice-breaking ship, it’s able to operate through first-year sea ice (ice that has been frozen for a full year) up to 3-feet thick. The ship is also dynamic positioning capable, meaning the crew can hold position using GPS and a propulsion system to conduct operations within a meter of a specific coordinate, even in oth-

to take Monday off or work from home if possible to reduce traffic. Gov. Bill Walker, who leaves office at noon Monday, gave state workers in the Anchorage area the day off to help reduce the number of cars on the highway. Schools have been closed until Dec. 10, which should also reduce traffic. Roads aren’t the only transportation worry. About 90 percent of all the goods sold in Alaska are delivered to the Port of Anchorage, where officials have completed a preliminary damage assess-
ment. “Everything looked good,” Municipal Manager Bill Falsey said. “There was some structural concerns with some of the trestles. We have got some things on a watch list but nothing that should impede operations.” Two major cargo companies operate at the port. One was offloading barges as normal on Sunday, and the other company is scheduled to offload barges Monday after successfully testing their crane system. Jet fuel was also being unloaded at another terminal Sunday. “We’re estimating we have on hand now automotive gasoline supplies that will be good for at least three weeks, and that the next shipment comes in on Dec. 7,” he said. “We’re not expecting any disruptions to those supply chains.” Officials on Saturday encouraged Alaskans not to make
a run on grocery stores, saying there was no reason to hoard food. However, at least one grocery store Sunday morning had no milk and little to no bread, bottled water or bananas. Berkowitz said the stories he’s heard, particularly from grocery stores, in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake was of cooperation and sharing. “Even when people were initially concerned, people who might have been reaching for the last item, looked over and saw someone else and said, ‘Yes, we are sharing this with you,’” he said. He also touted Alaskans’ longstanding tradition to stock up for long winters. “I would encourage people, once the ships get in, once things settle back down, make sure you have the emergency preparations, the emergency kits that you should have,” he said.

From the small, one-bed hospital to each fire extinguisher on board, Levine makes sure the ship is ready for anything and everything. Each trip on the R/V Sikuliaq is unique, but the basic operations are the same and keep safety paramount for all scientists and researchers involved, like Eric D’Asaro of the University of Washington Seattle Applied Physics Laboratory. “This is actually a very simple trip,” D’Asaro said as he unloaded equipment in one of the science labs on board. “We’re going from here to Seattle via the Northeast Pacific. We’re going to be, well, picking up some stuff and putting some other stuff back in … It’s a very simple cruise.” To keep tabs on where the R/V Sikuliaq is headed, visit https:// www.sikuliaq.alaska.edu/.

The vessel also allows researchers to collect sediment samples with a gravity corer or use the CTD instrument to find conductivity and temperature of the water column (which is housed in a heated room, a welcomed luxury for scientists and crewman operating in Alaska). “We can set up all sorts of science equipment in our hangar bay,” said Levine. “Scientists love it, especially when it’s nasty outside, you can come in here and avoid all that. The door opens, the crane goes out and collects data then comes back through the door and they work where it’s nice and warm.” While underway, with cranes moving, nets and moorings being pulled and scientists documenting each step, the back deck of the R/V Sikuliaq gets a bit busy. “It’s like a ballet,” Levine said. “When we are doing buoy operations or net operations, the bosun (a senioricrew member on deck) will be out here coordinating it all with his head on a swivel.

Today in History Today is Monday, Dec. 3, the 337th day of 2018. There are 28 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On Dec. 3, 1984, thousands of people died after a cloud of methyl isocyanate gas escaped from a pesticide plant operated by a Union Carbide subsidiary in Bhopal, India. On this date: In 1818, Illinois was admitted as the 21st state. In 1828, Andrew Jackson was elected president of the United States by the Electoral College. In 1833, Oberlin College in Ohio -- the first truly coeducational school of higher learning in the United States -- began holding classes. In 1926, English mystery writer Agatha Christie, 36, disappeared after driving away from her home in Sunningdale, Berkshire. (Christie turned up 11 days later at a hotel in Harrogate, Yorkshire.) In 1947, the Tennessee Williams play “A Streetcar Named Desire” opened on Broadway. In 1964, police arrested some 800 students at the University of California at Berkeley, one day after the students stormed the administration building and staged a massive sit-in. In 1967, a surgical team in Cape Town, South Africa, led by Dr. Christiaan Barnard (BAHR’-nard) performed the first human heart transplant on Louis Washkansky, who lived 18 days with the donor organ, which came from Denise Darvall, a 25-year-old bank clerk who had died in a traffic accident. In 1979, 11 people were killed in a crush of fans at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Coliseum, where the British rock group The Who was performing. In 1980, Bernadine Dohrn, a former leader of the radical Weather Underground, surrendered to authorities in Chicago after more than a decade as a fugitive. In 1991, radicals in Lebanon released American hostage Alann (cq) Steen, who’d been held captive nearly five years. In 1992, the first telephone text message was sent by British engineer Neil Papworth, who transmitted the greeting “Merry Christmas” from his work computer in Newbury, Berkshire, to Vodafone executive Richard Jarvis’ mobile phone. The Greek tanker Aegean Sea spilled more than 21 million gallons of crude oil when it ran aground off northwestern Spain. In 1999, Tori Murden of the United States became the first woman to row across the Atlantic Ocean alone as she arrived at the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, 81 days after leaving the Canary Islands near the coast of Africa. Ten years ago: President-elect Barack Obama selected New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as his commerce secretary. (However, Richardson withdrew a month later when it appeared his confirmation hearings would be complicated by a grand jury investigation over how state contracts were issued to political donors; Gary Locke ended up being appointed.) Theological conservatives upset by liberal views of U.S. Episcopalians and Canadian Anglicans formed a rival North American province. Five years ago: Seeking to regroup from his health care law’s disastrous rollout, President Barack Obama insisted the sweeping overhaul was working and warned Republican critics that he would fight any efforts to strip away its protections. A federal judge ruled Detroit could use bankruptcy to cut employee pensions and relieve itself of other crushing debts, handing a defeat to the city’s unions and retirees and shifting the case into a delicate new phase. The Illinois Legislature approved a historic plan to eliminate the state’s $100 billion pension shortfall. One year ago: The second-largest U.S. drugstore chain, CVS, announced that it was buying Aetna, the third-largest health insurer, in order to push much deeper into customer care. Former longtime Illinois congressman John Anderson, who ran for president as an independent in 1980, died in Washington at the age of 95. A partial implosion of the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, failed to bring down the upper section of the Detroit Lions’ former home; the demolition company handling the project was successful the following day. Today’s Birthdays: Movie director Jean-Luc Godard is 88. Singer Jaye P. Morgan is 87. Actor Nicolas Coster is 85. Actress Mary Alice is 77. Rock singer Ozzy Osbourne is 70.

What Others Say
The ethical questions and unintended consequences of editing human DNA It has long been a scientific dream:
to inoculate people against terrible diseases before they’re born. Now a team of doctors based in China has dangled that possibility in front of us by claiming it has edited the DNA of two human embryos during in vitro fertilization. The goal of the project was to protect the two (who are now twin baby girls) from HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. If this was intended to be a gift to the world, though, it came in ugly wrapping. The principal investigator didn’t bother with such scientific protocols as peer review and publishing in a respected journal. Instead, he made claims about his results informally to a colleague at a conference, granted an interview to the Associated Press, and posted a video on YouTube. He offered no evidence or independent corroboration that his experiment succeeded. And if indeed it did take place as described, it unquestionably crossed all sorts of ethical and safety lines. The reaction was explosive. The hospital named in documents filed by researcher He Jiankui says that neither the research nor the birth of the twins happened there. The Chinese government, though it has not outlawed genetic experimentation on human embryos, launched an investigation into the ethics of the project. More than 100 Chinese scientists issued a statement condemning He’s actions, saying his team harmed the reputation of research coming from their nation. Until now, research on gene editing has been restricted to faulty embryos in cases in which it was clear that children would be born with horrible illnesses. Even then, such research has been hotly debated, as it should be. While it is tremendously exciting to think that researchers might be able one day to switch off genes that predispose people to breast cancer, say, or Alzheimer’s disease, gene editing raises all sorts of other troubling questions. Even leaving aside people’s worries about eugenics and genetically designed superbabies bred for certain looks or athletic skills, there’s also the fact that gene editing isn’t just another treatment for an individual; it’s a process that changes the human genome; if successful, it will be passed on to future generations and spread through the population. In some cases, that could be a good thing. But there could also be unintended consequences that might more than offset any positive effects. Gene editing can accidentally change genes other than those targeted in ways scientists can’t foresee. Or, in the case of the latest research claim, the Associated Press reported that the work involved disabling a gene that allows HIV to enter cells. The problem, it further reported, is that people who lack the normal version of that gene have higher risks of dying from flu or falling ill with West Nile virus. … The new research claim is especially disturbing because, although the father of the twins is HIV positive, the chance of transmission was small. This experiment on human children might or might not help prevent a disease that they were unlikely to have gotten anyway, and which is preventable through other means as well as treatable. The ethical (and practical) concerns raised by such experiments are complex and far reaching. For instance, if lifesaving or life-lengthening gene editing becomes more widely available, who should be allowed to benefit from it? Will it be restricted, at least in its early years, to only the wealthy who would be able to afford it? And this: If people live considerably longer lives, how would that affect the size of the world population and how would longer-living older generations be supported? Now, He said, society can begin discussing how far such research should be allowed to go. On the contrary, the time for that discussion was before he undertook his experimentation on humans, not after. And indeed, last year, a panel with members from scientific organizations around the world recommended against the implantation of gene-edited human embryos until the various aspects were better understood. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration forbids gene editing to be used medically if it would affect future generations. Of course, it’s hoped that one day, when our knowledge of gene editing and its consequences is deeper, we won’t need such restrictions.
It’s time to clear the cliche table
There should be a Cliche Hall of Fame to honor the trite phrases and overused metaphors that have stood the test of time. There certainly would be a political wing, complete with a statue that has running water coming from somewhere depicting a hack streaming hackneyed expressions nonstop. It would need to be located in Washington, with our constant gush of banalities. The best cliches are all-purpose, like something or other not being “off the table.” Anyone can use it and everyone here does. President Donald Trump spouts it frequently. In fact, he told The New York Post that a pardon for Paul Manafort is … wait for it … “not off the table.” Could that be a signal to Manafort — who faces a ton of time behind bars and who just might have the goods on alleged Trump campaign collusion with the Russians — that he doesn’t have to sweat whatever that big bad witch hunter Robert Mueller does to him? Could “not off the table” also be a trial balloon, a way of softening up America for a pardon when it comes? Is “trial balloon” another cliche? The atmosphere is cluttered with balloons right now, as various Democrats float them to gauge interest in their running for president in 2020. John Kerry is among the latest to declare that the possibility he’ll take another shot at it is “not off the table.” He’s not the only one. It’s a pretty cluttered table these days, crowded with the dozens
of people from both parties who might launch a campaign against the Trumpster. It may be an uphill battle unless Bob Mueller comes up with absolute proof that Donald Trump and VladiBob Franken mir Putin personally colluded to throw the U.S. election — in other words, uncovers a smoking gun. Oh wait, is that a clever segue or what? “Smoking gun” is right up there in the idiot idioms collection. What’s remarkable is that no one seems to have one. Here’s Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, speaking about the death of Jamal Khashoggi: “We have no smoking gun that the crown prince was involved. Not the intelligence community or anyone else. There is no smoking gun.” Wow! That was a twofer. Mattis was among those leading the charge for the administration, insisting that Saudi Arabia is too important an ally to let a little trifle like the assassination and dismemberment of a Washington Post columnist get in the way. No smoking gun perhaps, but there is a CIA analysis that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did order that Khashoggi be killed. A “smoking gun” presumably
would have to be video of Salman audibly saying, “Kill Khashoggi.” That demonstrates another function of these cliches: They gloss over truth, whatever that is. That’s the case not just in the wild and wacky world of politics, but certainly in my endeavors, which have included TV news. You can’t watch a local broadcast without the anchor stating constantly how the station is “working for you” or is “on your side.” So many shows begin with the words “breaking news” splattered over the screen, because some consultant has determined that it can boost ratings. Never mind that the “breaking news” happened many hours before, it’s going to shatter again. The sports world also is riddled with cliches, of course. Among the worst are the pious declarations by the teams that they’re against domestic violence and for patriotism. Then please explain why the NFL’s Washington R-words signed linebacker Reuben Foster, accused of repeated violence against his girlfriend, but will not hire Colin Kaepernick, a badly needed quarterback, simply because Kaepernick has led the refusal to stand for “The StarSpangled Banner.” The timid owners conveniently have forgotten all about the First Amendment. Let’s face it, we hear a constant stream of cliches, mostly empty ones. And we will continue to, because no one, in any field, is willing to take them off the table.
AP News Analysis
Salaried workers beware: GM cuts are a warning for all By TOM KRISHER and JOSH BOAK AP Business Writers
DETROIT — For generations, the career path for smart kids around Detroit was to get an engineering or business degree and get hired by an automaker or parts supplier. If you worked hard and didn’t screw up, you had a job for life with enough money to raise a family, take vacations and buy a weekend cottage in northern Michigan. Now that once-reliable route to prosperity appears to be vanishing, as evidenced by General Motors’ announcement this week that it plans to shed 8,000 white-collar jobs on top of 6,000 bluecollar ones. It was a humbling warning that in this era of rapid and disruptive technological change, those with a college education are not necessarily insulated from the kind of layoffs factory workers know all too well. The cutbacks reflect a transformation underway in both the auto industry and the broader U.S. economy, with nearly every type of business becoming oriented toward computers, software and automation. “This is a big mega-trend pervading the whole economy,” said Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who has researched changes being caused by the digital age. Cities that suffered manufacturing job losses decades ago are now grappling with the problem of fewer opportunities — Los Angeles Times, Nov. 28 for white-collar employees such as man-
agers, lawyers, bankers and accountants. Since 2008, The Associated Press found, roughly a third of major U.S. metro areas have lost a greater percentage of white-collar jobs than blue-collar jobs. It’s a phenomenon seen in such places as Wichita, Kansas, with its downsized aircraft industry, and towns in Wisconsin that have lost auto, industrial machinery or furniture-making jobs. In GM’s case, the jobs that will be shed through buyouts and layoffs are held largely by people who are experts in the internal combustion engine — mechanical engineers and others who spent their careers working on fuel injectors, transmissions, exhaust systems and other components that won’t be needed for the electric cars that eventually will drive themselves. GM, the nation’s largest automaker, says those vehicles are its future. “We’re talking about high-skilled people who have made a substantial investment in their education,” said Marina Whitman, a retired professor of business and public policy at the University of Michigan and a former GM chief economist. “The transitions can be extremely painful for a subset of people.” GM is still hiring white-collar employees, but the new jobs are for those who can write software code, design laser sensors or develop batteries and other devices for future vehicles. Those who are being thrown out of work might have to learn new skills if they hope to find new jobs, underscoring what Whitman said is another truism about the new
economy: “You’ve got to regard education as a lifetime process. You probably are going to have multiple jobs in your lifetime. You’ve got to stay flexible.” Whitman said mechanical engineers are smart people who could transfer their skills to software or batteries, but they’ll need training, and that takes time and money. “In the past with these kinds of changes, eventually new jobs have been created,” she said. “Will it happen this time, or is the change taking place too fast for everybody to be absorbed? I don’t know.” Although the job cuts took him and coworkers by surprise, Tracy Lucas, 54, a GM engine quality manager, decided to take the buyout and change careers. His children are grown and on their own, and with 33 years in at GM, he will get a pension and health care. The buyout will also give him about eight months of pay, enough time to take his newly earned master’s degree in business administration and look for different work. He said he will be glad to leave some tedious management tasks behind but will miss seeing through a lot of work to reduce engine warranty claims. He is leaving in part, he said, to save a job for younger co-workers. GM got 2,250 white-collar workers to take buyouts, and will have to complete the cutbacks by way of layoffs. “I really hate that we have to go into the whole process of tapping people on the shoulder,” Lucas said. “I don’t think the second wave is going to be pretty at all. It’s going to be brutal.”

Staff at Fireweed began conversations about creating a local music program in May, Fine said. Those discussions continued through the summer, and eventually the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra was brought on as the fiscal
agent for the Fireweed Frescoes. The program began at the start of this year with 52 students in kindergarten through second grade. The school has hired Katie Klann, a local violin teacher, to instruct the students. She also teaches the Preludes program. Fireweed students and parents attended the cardboard violin making sessions at Paul Banks this year to get a taste of how that phase of the program works, Fine said. “We were so lucky to be able to See MUSIC, page A13

Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Oklahoma get in By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer
Faced with a tricky choice, the College Football Playoff selection committee played it safe and fell back on some simple criteria: One loss is better than two. Winning a conference championship is better than not. Go with the team that avoided getting blown out. Oklahoma is in the playoff over Georgia and Ohio State, moving into the fourth and final spot Sunday after the Sooners avenged their only loss by winning the Big 12 championship against Texas. “I feel like we have a team worthy of it, a team that can go make a run,” Sooners coach Lincoln Riley said on ESPN.
The Sooners (12-1) will face No. 1 Alabama (13-0) in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 29 in a matchup of Heisman Trophy front-runner quarterbacks — Kyler Murray of Oklahoma and the Tide’s Tua Tagovailoa, who sprained his ankle in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday and is expected to be laid up for two weeks. No. 2 Clemson (13-0) plays No. 3 Notre Dame (12-0) in the Cotton Bowl on the same day. The winners meet in the championship game on Jan. 7 in Santa Clara, California. The rest of the New Year’s Six bowl matchups are UCF vs. LSU in the Fiesta Bowl; Florida vs. Michigan in the Peach Bowl; Ohio State vs. Washington in the Rose Bowl; and Texas vs.
Lakers top Suns, stay hot at home By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Kyle Kuzma scored 23 points and LeBron James had 22 before both sat out the fourth quarter of the Los Angeles Lakers’ third home victory in four days, 120-96 over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. Brandon Ingram scored 15 points and JaVale McGee had 14 points and eight rebounds in three quarters of work for the Lakers. They have won 12 of 16 since their 2-5 start to James’ first season on the West Coast. 76ERS 103, GRIZZLIES 95 PHILADELPHIA — Jimmy Butler continued his run as Philadelphia’s stretch-run shooter, scoring 13 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter against Memphis. Ben Simmons, who had 19 points and 12 rebounds, ran up from behind on MarShon Brooks and poked the ball free for a steal. That led to a pair of free throws for Butler that made it 95-89. Butler buried a turnaround jumper for a 97-89 lead that sealed the win.
SPURS 131, TRAIL BLAZERS 118 SAN ANTONIO — DeMar DeRozan had a season-high 36 points and San Antonio overcame a big game by Damian Lillard, rebounding from a pair of lopsided losses to beat Portland. The Spurs held a practice Saturday morning following consecutive losses of 39 points and
31 points and the team responded with its highest point total in two weeks.
PELICANS 119, HORNETS 109 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Anthony Davis had 36 points, 19 rebounds and eight assists to help New Orleans beat Charlotte. Jrue Holiday added 19 points and eight assists. The Pelicans won for only the second time in seven games. Frank Kaminsky led the Hornets with a season-high 19 points, although he struggled with guarding Davis. Kemba Walker had 13 points on 5-of-16 shooting.
MAVERICKS 114, CLIPPERS 110 DALLAS — Harrison Barnes scored 30 points, and Dorian Finney-Smith tipped in a rebound with 35 seconds remaining to give Dallas the lead for good against Los Angeles. Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and 23 rebounds in his first game against his former team. Montrezl Harrell scored 23 points to lead the Clippers.
HEAT 102, JAZZ 100 MIAMI — Dwyane Wade made a pair of free throws with 3.2 seconds left, and Miami rallied from down 19 early to beat Utah. Hassan Whiteside had 23 points and 20 rebounds for Miami, Josh Richardson and Kelly Olynyk had 16 points each, and Wade added 15. Ricky Rubio led Utah with 23 points.
Sports Briefs Bernhalter hired to coach USMNT Gregg Berhalter was hired Sunday to coach the U.S. men’s national team, making him the first person to run the Americans after playing for them at the World Cup. Berhalter, who spent the past five seasons as coach of Major League Soccer’s Columbus Crew, represents a generational change for an American team staggered by its failure to reach this year’s World Cup after seven straight appearances at soccer’s showcase.
Rahm wins Hero World Challenge NASSAU, Bahamas — Jon Rahm turned a potential shootout into a Bahamas breeze Sunday, closing with a 7-under 65 for a four-shot victory in the Hero World Challenge. Starting the final round in a three-way tie with Tony Finau and Henrik Stenson, Rahm took the lead when Finau made bogey on the par-3 eighth hole, and the 24-year-old Spaniard never trailed the rest of the day at Albany Golf Club. — The Associated Press
Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. Georgia (11-2) dropped a spot to fifth and Ohio State (12-1) remained sixth in the selection committee’s final top 25. The Bulldogs lost to Alabama in the SEC championship game Saturday and the Buckeyes won the Big Ten against Northwestern. The Sooners paid back a three-point loss to Texas in a Red River Rivalry rematch. The 13-member selection committee, given the intentionally vague task of picking the four best teams in college football, was watching games and deliberating at a hotel in Grapevine, Texas, until 1:30 a.m. CT Sunday, committee chairman Rob Mullens said. The committee finished its top four at 10:30 a.m. CT.
Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame separated from the pack by going undefeated. The tough call was at No. 4. Mullens said the committee determined none of Oklahoma, Georgia and Ohio State was unequivocally best and that brought the selection protocol into play. The protocol says conference championships, head-to-head results, strength of schedule and comparative outcomes are used as virtual tiebreakers when teams are close. No factor is weighted more than another. “This is an art, not a science,” said Mullens, who is the athletic director at Oregon. Oklahoma’s conference championship gave it the edge over Georgia.
The Bulldogs’ strength of schedule, with losses to ranked teams, gave Georgia the edge over Ohio State, Mullens said. Oklahoma is making its third appearance in the five-year-old playoff. Defending national champion Alabama has played in them all. Clemson is making its fourth straight appearance. Notre Dame is in the playoff for the first time, making it 10 teams in five seasons to participate in the playoff. Unbeaten UCF finished eighth in the final rankings, nowhere to be found in the committee’s playoff discussion. The Knights will put their 25-game winning streak on the line against another SEC team after beating Auburn in the Peach Bowl last season.

Rams clinch NFC West Packers fire McCarthy after loss By The Associated Press
DETROIT — Todd Gurley ran for 132 yards and two touchdowns to help the Los Angeles Rams overcome a sputtering start to beat the Detroit Lions 30-16 Sunday and clinch the NFC West title for a second straight season. The Rams (11-1) also moved a step closer to earning home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs, taking a onegame lead over New Orleans after it lost to Dallas on Thursday night. It is a cushion Los Angeles needs because its only loss was against the Saints last month. The Lions (4-8) have lost five of six since a surge of success gave them a winning record in late October. Detroit’s defense held Los Angeles’ high-powered offense in check for three quarters, giving the slumping team a shot to potentially pull off a stunning upset. The Lions, though, failed to make the most of the opportunity because their offense struggled to move the ball and score.

But it won’t win the division because the Rams clinched it earlier in the day with a win at Detroit.
TITANS 26, JETS 22 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Marcus Mariota threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Corey Davis with 36 seconds left, and the Titans rallied from a 16-point deficit. The Titans (6-6) snapped a two-game skid to keep themselves on the fringes of the AFC playoff chase.

How to: Kill a Business in 10 Easy Steps 1. Don’t Advertise- Just pretend everybody knows what you have to offer. 2. Don’t Advertise- Tell yourself you just don’t have time to spend thinking about promoting your business.
3. Don’t Advertise- Just assume everybody knows what you sell. 4. Don’t Advertise- Convince yourself that you’ve been in business so long customers will automatically come to you.
5. Don’t Advertise- Forget there are new potential customers who would do business with you if they were reminded and urged to do so.
6. Don’t Advertise- Forget that you have competition trying to attract your customers away from you.
7. Don’t Advertise- Tell yourself that it costs too much to advertise and that you don’t get enough out of it.
8. Don’t Advertise- Overlook the fact that advertising is an investment in selling–not an expense.
9. Don’t Advertise- Be sure not to provide an adequate advertising budget for your business.
10. Don’t Advertise- Forget that you have to keep reminding your established customer that you appreciate their business.

BAKING SODA Dear Heloise: How can I remove stubborn spaghetti sauce stains on my plastic food storage containers? -- Faye H., Asheboro, N.C. Faye, try mixing together equal parts baking soda and chlorine bleach. Put the mixture on the stain and set aside for about 15 to 20 minutes. Wash well and rinse thoroughly. This should do the trick! I have many other stain-removing hints using baking soda in my pamphlet Baking Soda Hints and Recipes. To get a copy, send $5, along with a long, stamped (71 cents), self-addressed envelope, to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. You also can order it online at www.Heloise.com. Keeping your home clean and odor-free using baking soda is as easy as sprinkling some on a damp sponge and using as you would scouring powder. In fact, you may never have to buy scouring powder again. -- Heloise WEDDING DRESS Dear Heloise: Just a word to the wise: BEFORE you spend a dime on a wedding gown that may be difficult (if not impossible) to clean, read the label carefully. I didn’t. I had my gown dry-cleaned and preserved in a special garment bag. When my daughter wanted to see if it fit her for her wedding, I found that the dress had yellowed, the seed pearls were dull and peeling, and the fabric had lost its soft sheen. That was when I read the label, which specifically said that all seed pearls and applique must be removed before dry-cleaning, and to not store in plastic bags. So now, 22 years after my wedding, I have a $7,000 rag that my daughter cannot wear! -- Chloe N., Richmond, Va. Chloe, yes, it’s so very important to read dress labels carefully, especially on garments that we’d like to preserve for future generations. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: The holiday season is here, with the traditional family dinner get-togethers. Our problem is, our two children (ages 27 and 29) don’t like each other and rarely have contact during the year. This creates such stressful holiday meals that my wife and I would prefer to simply not have them. What words should we use to explain to both of them that we will no longer host holiday family dinners in the future? The conundrum arises if one of them says, “Well, I can come for Thanksgiving, so ‘Jesse’ can come for Christmas,” which divides us in a way that is unacceptable. Although we have asked them to work out their issues, they have made no progress. Your advice? -- DAD STRESSED BY THE HOLIDAYS DEAR DAD: Your “children” are adults and should be able to bury their differences two nights out of the year for your sake. If one makes that suggestion, your response should be: “No. It would only remind us that half our family is missing, which would sadden us on what’s supposed to be a happy occasion. That’s why your mother and I have decided to make other plans instead.” DEAR ABBY: I was visiting a neighbor whose son and daughter-in-law were also visiting. They have two daughters, ages 9 and 7.

Dunleavy to take office Monday amid earthquake recovery
overnight stay in Kotzebue. abbreviate his trip, she said. He Given the ongoing earthquake plans to fly to Noorvik on a priresponse, Dunleavy decided to vate charter from Anchorage on
Monday, she said. Rural Noorvik mainly is accessible by plane and boat, on the Kobuk River. Locals commonly get around using snowmobiles and ATVs. Dunleavy said he has been in close contact with Gov. Bill Walker about the emergency response. And Walker said Friday he did not expect the recovery to be affected by the transition in administrations. Walker said his administration advised Dunleavy’s team of what it was doing and that some members of Dunleavy’s team were involved in what Walker’s administration was doing. A magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked Anchorage and other
parts of south-central Alaska Friday, shaking buildings, buckling roads and spawning nervewracking aftershocks. Walker said Sunday he and Lt. Gov. Valerie Davidson would not attend the swearing in and instead would stay in Anchorage to help with reopening state buildings. Walker’s term expires at noon Monday. He said he wished Dunleavy well. It is unusual, but not unprecedented, for an Alaska governor to be sworn in outside the capital city of Juneau, though Dunleavy’s ceremony will be the first to take place above the Arctic Circle. Former Govs. Sarah Palin and Sean Parnell
had their events in Fairbanks, one of Alaska’s largest cities. The swearing-in typically kicks off a celebratory season for new governors. Dunleavy previously announced events around Alaska during December. Dunleavy has just six weeks before the start of the next legislative session, when Alaskans will be watching to see how he plans to act on key campaign pledges. He rankled some when shortly after his election, his transition chief sent letters to about 800 at-will state employees asking them to offer their resignations and indicate whether they wanted to continue working under Dunleavy.
instruction with the Fireweed Frescoes, Fine said, teaching them how to be musical together. As the year progresses, the program will likely follow a similar format of practices and concerts as with the Preludes, though Fine said she’s not sure exactly what shape Fireweed’s program might take.
“The ground flow of music, it’s not just happening in our community — it’s happening in our school and it’s very contagious,” Fine said. She said that, at its heart, an El Sistema-inspired program asks people to be a part of something bigger than themselves. A tall order for the average person, but,
Fine said, even more impressive when asking it of very young children. “When we are asked to be part of something that is bigger than ourselves, we are asked to rise to the occasion,” she said. Fine said it’s been powerful to watch the young Fireweed students do just that.
Working with the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra will allow the Fireweed Frescoes program to write grant applications for funding. The groups also recently received a $4,725 grant for the Homer Foundation that will fund the purchase of 21 violins for the students. Four instruments have also been donated,
according to Fine. Local band “Burnt Down House” will play at KBay Caffe this Saturday as a fundraiser for the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra, and, through them, the Frescoes. The band will play from 3-5 p.m., and donations will be accepted.
ers would keep them in office. Walker, 67, said the budget process didn’t derail all of his plans. He said he’s proud of Medicaid expansion, revamping the Alaska National Guard and making what he called “unprecedented” strides with Alaska Natives and tribal organizations throughout the state. There was still more he wanted to see done, though. He said he wanted to invest more in deferred maintenance around the state and he wanted to build more. In fact, he wishes he had invested some of the state’s savings into these projects. He said he would have used some of that money for the state’s retirement plans, he would have done infrastructure improvements to roads in particular. “There’s so much I could have done with that,” Walker said. “I come from a builder’s background. I ran for governor to build.” In terms of Southeast-specific accomplishments and wishes, Walker said he was proud
of the way his administration helped promote better access to Southeast for tourism and resource development. He was also happy to see the Alaskaclass ferry project (which aims to have ferries built by Alaskans with Alaska materials) get off the ground. Walker said he likes to think that his administration “raised the bar” in terms of being accessible in Juneau, and said he hopes incoming Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration will follow their lead. Dunleavy takes the oath of office Monday. Walker didn’t have much of a history in Southeast before taking office, so living in Juneau and spending time in the region were also new to him. Along with former Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott — who was raised in Southeast — Walker was able to feel at home in Juneau and in Southeast. “It sort of took me back to my roots a little. Juneau’s more like Valdez than Anchorage is, by far,” Walker said. “I love ice
skating here and doing other things, whether Treadwell (Arena) rink or out on the lake, going fishing.” He said he and Mallott would go out fishing from time to time. Mallott resigned unexpectedly Oct. 16 for what were referred to as “inappropriate comments” at the time. Since then, little has come to light except that Mallott said something inappropriate to a woman, Walker said. Walker declined to talk very in-depth about Mallott’s comment and resignation, but said he and Mallott still talk every day and called him “a very
dear friend.” Walker saluted the fact that Mallott took responsibility and immediately gave up his spot instead of drawing it out. He saluted the efforts of current Lt. Gov. Valerie Nurr’araaluk Davidson, who took over for Mallott. “She’s not just stood in,” Walker said. “She leaned in.” As for what’s next, Walker said he’s gotten “a number of interesting offers,” mostly in the resource development realm. First, he said he’s hoping to travel with Donna and spend time with family. He’s already gotten to have
a little down time recently, despite having to finalize his budget and tie up loose ends. He ended up at his cabin outside of Valdez for a short time recently and went ice fishing, he said. While on the way out to the lake, he came across a tree that had fallen in the middle of the road. He got out his chainsaw and cut the tree into firewood. “It felt pretty good to do that,” Walker said. “I’ve got to tell you, it really did. None of that required 11 votes from the Senate or 21 votes from the House.”
state facility before being sold to the public. Bornt, however, said he wants to take it a step further. Standardized testing in the marijuana industry as a whole is a bit of an issue, he said. “The standardized structure is not as accurate as we would want as an industry,” he said. “We want to do our own testing before we send it to the lab in Anchorage.” This will also allow 420 on Main to have a very firm handle on its product dosing, Bornt said. “It has to go to the state lab, but we’ll know more about our product than most likely will be known by the lab,” he said. Bornt plans on offering the standard range of products in the retail section of 420 on Main once the business is fully operational. This includes fresh buds or flowers, pre rolls, vapes and edibles. The business will employ eight to 10 people, Bornt said. He hopes to open the retail portion of the business in April 2019, with the cultivating and manufacturing portions to follow. “There’s a real desire to keep a high quality, public acceptable business happening,” Bornt said of the cannabis industry. “What that means is it’s not the wild west anymore.” At Monday’s city council meeting, there were a few action items on the agenda that would have stymied Bornt’s efforts and the progression of his business. One of them was a motion to reconsider the council’s previous non-objection to the cultivation license for 420 on Main, brought forward by council member Shelly Erickson. When the time for reconsideration came, however, no
one made a motion to reconsider the issue. Another agenda item would have sent a letter to the Marijuana Control Board asking them to postpone their decision on Bornt’s cultivation license, brought forward by Heath Smith. Smith also sponsored an ordinance that sought to delete marijuana cultivation establishments from the list of establishments allowed in the city’s Central Business District. Again, when the council reached those items on the agenda, no council members made a motion to bring them to the table, and so they were declared moot. When commercial cannabis became legal in Alaska, the city updated its zoning code to regulate where marijuana activities could happen, such as banning it from the Homer Spit. Smith had previously voiced concern about a cultivation facility causing odors and other issues for nearby land. Because the city owns land near 420 on Main, Smith also said earlier he felt the city should have been better notified of the licensing process. During his public comments at the meeting, Bornt mentioned that he had spoken with council members about the issue. In an interview, he said the technology behind the marijuana industry has been advancing in the last few years, and that equipment used currently for cultivation eliminates the chance of gases, water or other contaminants causing issues for nearby businesses or residents. “Those concerns have really been answered by the industry,” Bornt said. “… Here we have tenants, we have neighbors, so we really address those issues with our engineers.”

JUNEAU — Alaska Gov.elect Mike Dunleavy takes office Monday, days after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked heavily-populated south-central Alaska. Dunleavy initially planned to make a 65-mile trek by snowmobile from the western Alaska hub city of Kotzebue to Noorvik for the swearing in. Noorvik is a tiny Inupiat Eskimo village above the Arctic Circle where his wife, Rose, is from. But transition spokeswoman Sarah Erkmann Ward said those plans would have required an

the biggest surprises for him. “I did not anticipate we’d have to spend so much time wrestling with the fiscal situation,” Walker said. “We just decided that we have to get our fiscal house in order and I’m glad we did that.” That culminated in passing Senate Bill 26, which set rules for using Permanent Fund money to pay for state spending, and Walker called it a “significant accomplishment by the Legislature.” Walker, who brands himself as a non-partisan politician and often refers to his past as a “carpenter from Valdez,” said he also didn’t expect so many legislators to base their decisions on their chances of re-election. He didn’t get into specifics about who these people were, but said multiple people bluntly told him they were voting one way on a topic just so their vot-

in 2012 and bought the property on Main Street in 2014. He “spent almost three years exploring different ways to utilize the space” that is zoned mixed use by the city, he said. Bornt is also finishing the remodeling on 14 housing units in the building, some of which will be rented out long term and some of which will be rented for the winter and then used as short-term summer rentals. 420 on Main will be the latest business added to the property. The idea to have a cannabis grow operation actually came out of Bornt’s quest to create lower-cost housing options, he said. The housing units got to a point where it was not financially feasible to create more, so when the city approved certain cannabis operations in the Central Business District (where his building on Main Street sits) Bornt said he decided that would be his next venture. The retail and cultivation licenses for 420 on Main have already been approved by the Alaska Marijuana Control Board. They allow his business to grow marijuana on site and to sell finished cannabis products out of the storefront. Getting a manufacturing license will allow Bornt to create products on site such as edibles.
