In the news Probation officer charged with improper relationship ANCHORAGE — A probation officer has been charged with an improper relationship with a man under the supervision of the Alaska Department of Corrections. Anchorage television station KTVA reports 39-yearold Shamika Lawrence is charged with third-degree sexual assault, evidence tampering and coercion. All three charges are felonies. Lawrence could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Directory assistance does not list her number and online court documents do not list her attorney. Prosecutors with the Office of Special Prosecutions in charging documents say the offenses occurred from October 2017 through June. Prosecutors say Lawrence had a sexual relationship with a man in state custody. Corrections spokeswoman Megan Edge says the man is a sentenced offender serving time on an electronic monitor. Edge says Lawrence is on paid administrative leave.

Anchorage crews haul away junk from problem property ANCHORAGE — Anchorage crews have hauled away hundreds of thousands of pounds of junk from a property in Bear Valley as part of the city’s efforts of address neighborhood blight. Crews recently removed 343 tons of junk, five drums of liquid waste and 21 junk vehicles from the property over a week, the Anchorage Daily News reported Sunday. The land surrounding the ranch-style house is now clear, but junk had been piled high, blocking all visible paths to the building. The cleanup cost $84,000 and was the largest in the city’s history, said Jack Frost, chief code enforcement officer. The city is considering options like foreclosure to recoup expenses, he said. The cleanup comes more than a year after a group of residents pleaded with the Anchorage Assembly to take action about the property. Since the early 2000s, the city had fined the property on Francesca Drive more than $300,000 for operating an illegal junkyard. The owners challenged the fines, claiming they were excessive and unconstitutional. The case eventual reached the Alaska Supreme Court, which sided with the city. — Associated Press

opens Soldotna looks to bond, sales Trial for 2nd tax to fund field house project suspect in killing of Palmer teen

By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

Designs for a field house at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex are nearly complete. Now, the city of Soldotna is looking at how to fund the project. At Wednesday night’s council meeting, the Soldotna City Council will introduce legislation to ask the voters if the city should borrow $10 million in the form of a bond to build the field house and increase the sales tax by a half percent to cover the debt service on the 10-year bond. “It’s two parts that we see working together, if the public gives us the go-ahead,” said City Manager Stephanie Queen. “We borrow money and, simultaneously, add a sales tax to cover the cost of the debt over a 10-year period.” The city does have the money to fund the project reserved in the fund balance, Queen said, but the administration found it would be more financially pru-

ANCHORAGE (AP) — The trial has started for an Alaska teenager charged in the killing of a 16-year-old boy who prosecutors say was ambushed by a group of “wannabe gang members.” Dominic Johnson, 18, is the second of four people to go on trial in the November 2016 death of David Grunwald, the Anchorage Daily News reported . A jury convicted Erick Almandinger, 18, earlier this year of first-degree murder, kidnapping and other counts in the death of Grunwald. Austin Barrett, 21, and Brad Renfro, 18, are scheduled to go to trial next year. Grunwald was hit with a pistol outside Almandinger’s See TEEN, page A3

The holidays are a time to spend with family, enjoy the company of friends and to be grateful. Get-togethers, traveling, lack of exercise and indulgent eating creates more opportunities for exposure to germs and illness, Leslie Felts, Kenai Public Health nurse manager, said. “People are getting together, traveling and not eating and exercising like they normally do,” Felts said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a series of tips to help Americans stay healthy over the holidays. The CDC advises people to wash your hands often, which Felts said is very simple, but very effective. Staying warm is important, the CDC said cold temperatures can cause serious health problems, especially in infants and older adults. Felts said to wear a coat whenever you’re going outside. “It’s easy to run out and get a little cold and wet in between your car and the store,” Felts said. See HEALTH, page A2

Appeals court ruling mixed on New trial date set Alaska campaign finance laws for man convicted By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — A divided federal appeals court panel ruled Tuesday that Alaska’s cap on total contributions that candidates can receive from nonresidents is unconstitutional. However, the three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld other campaign contribution limits that it said were tailored to prevent corruption or the appearance of corruption.

The case brought by three individuals and an Alaska Republican Party district challenged elements of state campaign finance law. An attorney for the plaintiffs did not immediately return a message seeking comment. Attorney General Jahna Lindemuth, in a statement, expressed disappointment that the court struck down limits on nonresident contributions but said she was pleased with the rest of the ruling. Her agency said it was reviewing the decision and evaluating next steps.

The appeals court panel sided with a lower court in upholding limits on contributions made by individuals to candidates and to groups that are not political parties. They also upheld limits on the total amount a political party can give municipal candidates. The judges split on nonresident contributions. The majority found the aggregate limit on what candidates can get from nonresidents violates the First Amendment. The panel reversed the lower court on that See COURT, page A2

in Coast Guard killings KODIAK (AP) — A new trial date has been set for an Alaska man convicted in the 2012 killings of two co-workers at a Coast Guard communications station in Alaska. James Wells is scheduled for trial April 29 in Anchorage, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Tuesday. The retrial has been rescheduled several times. The new date comes nearly a year after a federal appeals court concluded Wells did not

receive a fair trial. The threejudge panel reversed Wells’ conviction on murder and weapons charges and ordered a new trial. The judges also said the case should be reassigned, citing comments the judge made at Wells’ sentencing. Wells was convicted in 2014 in the shooting deaths of Coast Guardsmen Petty Officer 1st Class James Hopkins See GUARD, page A3

said. Traveling safely, whether that be on foot, in a vehicle or across the country, can prevent illness and injury. Felts said when walking outside in the dark, be aware of ice and make sure to wear something reflective or bright to avoid accidents. When driving, be aware of icy roads and dark driving conditions.

With an abundance of parties and feasts during the holidays, make sure the food you’re preparing is handled safely, the CDC suggests. Eating healthy and staying active can be a part of the holidays. “Find fun ways to stay active, such as dancing to your favorite holiday music,” the CDC website states. Other tips to stay healthy

and safe is to be smoke-free and avoid breathing in other people’s smoke and to be current with vaccinations. “I’m always going to say this, but get vaccinated,” Felts said. “Make sure children are up to date.” More info on how to stay healthy and safe during winter can be found on the CDC’s website.

paved the way for corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts to influence elections. Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Sidney Thomas, in a partial dissent, said the cap on aggregate nonresident contributions is justified. State law bars candidates from soliciting or accepting contributions from individuals who are not residents unless those contributions fall within certain limits. Candidates for state representative, for exam-

ple, cannot accept more than $3,000 total in a calendar year from nonresidents. A plaintiff in the case, David Thompson, is a brotherin-law of former state Rep. Wes Keller. The ruling said Thompson sent Keller $100 for his campaign in 2015 but had his check returned because Keller’s campaign reached its $3,000 limit. Thompson is from Wisconsin. “Alaska fails to show why an out-of-state individual’s early

contribution is not corrupting, whereas a later individual’s contribution — i.e., a contribution made after the candidate has already amassed $3,000 in out-of-state funds — is corrupting,” the opinion states. The case does not address contributions to ballot groups or so-called independent expenditure groups, which the executive director of the Alaska Public Offices Commission said are not subject to the contribution limits.

would be paid off in 10 years with 10 annual payments. The half-percent sales tax increase would cover that debt. “Then the extra half percent would go away after 10 years, because it’s in the code,” Queen said. The approximately 42,000-square-foot metal building would be connected to the current sports complex and offer a variety of recreation op-

tions for the community. The building could hold three high school basketball courts, eight large wrestling mats or nine pickleball courts, Queen said. “It’s an appropriate design for the community,” she said. “It’s a really flexible space that will allow different sports to be played at once.” After the ordinance is introduced at Wednesday’s meeting, the council will set

a public hearing on Dec. 12. From there, the bond question could be seen on a special ballot in March. If voters approve the bond in March, the half-percent increase would be seen starting July 1, 2019. The council could change the time line as needed, however.

They said he planned an alibi, sneaked onto the communications station and killed the men. The defense countered that authorities immediately focused on Wells and ignored other possible suspects.

What Others Say

Benefit your community by shopping local Officially, “Small Business Saturday”

takes place two days after Thanksgiving, a shopping holiday designed by American Express to promote local businesses often overlooked in the Black Friday rush. But even if you don’t remember to make a point of shopping local on the designated day, shopping local on any day is just as important. And make no mistake, investing in businesses that invest in our communities is vitally important. There are few choices you can make as a consumer that have greater local impact than to keep your money supporting businesses and people close to home. Alaska knows a thing or two about small businesses and startup culture. Last year, the nonprofit Kauffman Foundation ranked our state third in the U.S. for the number of new businesses per capita. What’s more, Alaska leads in helping close the gender gap in business ownership: Alaska has the highest rate of woman-owned startups of any state, according to the foundation’s analysis. Certainly, there is room for improvement: The state has historically been poor at scaling up new businesses beyond a handful of employees, and the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation found shortcomings related to high-tech needs such as software development, ranking Alaska near the bottom for knowledge workers. Alaska’s local businesses contribute a great deal to the state’s economic well-being. Small businesses are among the most optimistic sectors of the Alaska economy, with 94 percent of the participants in a 2017 survey by the Alaska Small Business Development Center indicating they planned to expand or grow their business. And the multiplier effect that comes from money remaining in our community and being recycled between local merchants, rather than exported to Outside businesses, has powerful benefits that lift up not only business owners, but also their employees and the communities they serve. Local businesses keep millions of dollars circulating in our cities and we are all the richer for it, however indirectly. Ultimately, one of the most powerful arguments to shop locally is not economic but personal. It’s hard — perhaps impossible— to put an economic value on a local used bookstore where the cashiers are people you grew up with and who text you when a book comes in they know you’d like. It’s hard to put a price on being able to walk down the street to a bakery owned by one of your neighbors, where they give away free hot chocolate to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. It’s hard to quantify what it means to go to a pizza place and know that you’re helping make fellow Alaskans’ dreams come true by supporting them. So shop local, today and every day. This is Alaska, of course, and there are plenty of items for which we’ll always rely on larger retailers based Outside. There’s no need to worry about endangering their livelihood. But purchasing items crafted locally, from beer to art to furniture to clothing, contributes to our communities in ways far beyond what we can measure. When you can, support businesses close to home.

Discrimination for the ages

Forgive my self-indulgence, but at the very start I need to point out that while I may not be young, I am immature. The immature part is familiar to anyone who knows me. But what’s important here is that I’m old. So I freely admit that what I’m writing here comes with a bias: The Democrats are guilty of gross age discrimination and, might I add, hypocrisy. It is, after all, the same party that sanctimoniously pretends to oppose all “isms,” but obviously that doesn’t include ageism. I’m specifically talking about the ones who would fancy themselves “young Turks,” but they’re more like you young twerps — at least some of them are. Inexperienced in the ways of Washington, they are among the House Democrats deciding to show their ingratitude to Nancy Pelosi, who, in fact, is truly adept at navigating the “swamp” maze. Not only that, but she probably had lots to do with them winning their elections. In response, a few of them want to drop her like a stone. “We need new ideas,” they argue. You mean progressive ideas, children? These are the ideas that Nancy Pelosi has been championing for decades. But experience doesn’t seem to matter. So sayeth the kids who want to take over and run things. It’s as true in politics as it is in my craft and many others, which ex-

the lessons that are really important. All they know is that they have great “new ideas,” like “Medicare-for-all” or tackling wealth inequality. Gee, why had nobody thought of such things before? Without a Nancy Pelosi to guide them past all the traps, their shouts of idealism soon will turn into whimpers of misery as they are all bottled up by those on the other side, like Mitch McConnell, who has been a U.S. senator since 1985. His specialty is having neophytes for lunch. Pelosi has been in the House for 30plus years and has the unique skills needed to take on the regressives. Some of those who would dump her do not have 30 minutes’ worth of know-how. Here’s what Barack Obama had to say about Nancy Pelosi: “Her stamina, her ability to see around corners, her ability to stand her ground and do hard things and to suffer unpopularity to get the right thing done, I think, stands up against any person that I’ve observed or worked directly with in Washington during my lifetime.” That “stamina” thing is important, since the age bigots like to claim they have more energy. They are having a hard time keeping up with Nancy Pelosi as she uses all her moxie to keep her job. Assuming she does, she will apply to those who opposed her another timetested Washington tactic: “Don’t get mad. Get even.”

Trump says he may cancel Putin meeting, White House warns Xi By ZEKE MILLER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump cast into doubt a key component of his upcoming trip to an international summit in Argentina as he suggested Tuesday he may cancel his planned sit-down with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Russia’s seizure of three Ukrainian naval ships last weekend. In an interview with The Washington Post, Trump said he would be receiving — Anchorage Daily News, Nov. 25 a “full report” from his national security team on Russia’s recent actions in eastern Ukraine and the Black Sea. He said he would decide on a course afterward.

Experience is unimportant to them, except that Bob Franken it really does matter, certainly in the D.C. labyrinth, where those who have navigated it for a while get to know all the twists and turns. You don’t necessarily need to be a young know-it-all. Look no further than Donald Trump, a really hoary one. (I love the word “hoary,” which gets back to the “immature” thing.) He’s senior, but inept! Which explains why he hasn’t been able to pull off many of his orders or whims. That plus the fact that his orders are illegally hateful or ridiculous, or because he constantly lies or because he doesn’t understand the Constitution or doesn’t care. The real point is that Nancy Pelosi has spent an adult lifetime learning how to untangle the legislative Gordian knot. The newbies in the caucus barely know how to tie their shoelaces. The one thing that they have in common is hubris. They haven’t undergone the inevitable frustration that’s part of the governing process, nor have they learned many of

the U.S. leader on the whirlwind twoday visit to Argentina. Trump is also set meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping over dinner this weekend, in what may be a pivotal session to determining if and how the ongoing trade dispute between their two countries could be resolved. The White House on Tuesday warned Xi against trying to wait out Trump in the ongoing talks, suggesting the Chinese economy was not as resilient to a trade war as would be the U.S. The warning from Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, came ahead of the two leaders’ highstakes sit-down on Saturday evening. Over the last year, the two countries have levied a series of tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of imports from one another, with the latest round of U.S. duties set to go into force in the new year. National Security adviser John Bolton said Trump will also be meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Argentine President Mauricio Macri, South Korea’s Moon Jae-in, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders called the trip an opportunity for the president to cement re-

lations with other world leaders and advance a global economic system based on “free, fair and reciprocal trade.” The Trump-Xi meeting would be the first since the two countries began hitting each other with import taxes earlier this year. The United States targeted $250 billion in Chinese products, and Beijing lashed back by slapping tariffs on $110 billion worth of U.S. goods. The two sides have been in negotiations for months, but Kudlow described them as being stalemated until just a few weeks ago. Kudlow said the administration has been “extremely disappointed” by China’s engagement in trade talks but the meeting between Trump and Xi on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit could be a game-changer. “Perhaps we can break through in Buenos Aires or not,” he said. Kudlow added that if the U.S. doesn’t get “satisfactory” responses to its trade positions more tariffs will be imposed. He said Trump is “not going away.” “I hope they understand that,” he said. China’s foreign ministry has said a recent phone conversation between Xi and Trump about trade and other issues was “extremely positive.”

Detention camp for teen migrants growing

Around the Nation

States eye sports betting, wrestle with regulatory details

TORNILLO, Texas — The Trump administration announced in June it would open a temporary shelter for up to 360 migrant children in this isolated corner of the Texas desert. Less than six months later, the facility has expanded into a detention camp holding thousands of teenagers — and it shows every sign of becoming more permanent. By Tuesday, 2,324 largely Central American boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 17 were sleeping inside the highly guarded facility in rows of bunk beds in canvas tents, some of which once housed first responders to Hurricane Harvey. More than 1,300 teens have arrived since the end of October. Rising from the cotton fields and dusty roads not far from the fence marking the border between the U.S. and Mexico, the camp has rows of beige tents and golf carts that ferry staffers carrying walkie-talkies. Teens with identical haircuts and government-issued shirts and pants can be seen walking single file from tent to tent, flanked by staff at the front and back. More people are detained in Tornillo’s tent city than in all but one of the nation’s 204 fed-

NEW YORK — Numerous U.S. states are considering jumping on the legal sports betting bandwagon, even as they struggle with the details of regulating it. How much to tax it, and how to regulate mobile betting on phones are emerging as thorny issues for states. So far, seven states offer legal sports betting: Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. And although New Mexico has not passed a sports betting law, the Santa Ana Star Casino & Hotel started taking sports bets last month through a tribal gambling compact. At a sports betting conference Tuesday in New York, state representatives from Minnesota, New York and Ohio discussed their states’ interest in such bets. They’re also interested in making sure players are protected, taxes are adequate but not punitive and that mobile gambling is widely accessible. Patrick Garofalo, a Minnesota state representative, said the betting public knows exactly what it wants, and it’s up to states and gambling companies to give it to them. “The American sports fan has made a decision: they want to be able to bet on their favorite sports teams from their home,” he said. “They want to do it from their couch.” New Jersey won a U.S. Supreme Court case in May clearing the way for all 50 states to offer legal sports betting should they so choose. David Rebuck, director of New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement, predicted at least 12 states will move “very aggressively” to legalize sports betting in early 2019. New York, one of the largest potential markets, has yet to pass sports betting legislation, but hasn’t given up. “In New York, sports betting is on its back with its feet and arms sticking in the air,” said state Assemblyman Gary Pretlow. In the meantime, New York is watching many of its residents commute to New Jersey to place bets on mobile apps or at the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, just outside New York City.

eral prisons, and construction continues. None of the 2,100 staff are going through rigorous FBI fingerprint background checks, according to a government watchdog memo published Tuesday. “Instead, Tornillo is using checks conducted by a private contractor that has access to less comprehensive data, thereby heightening the risk that an individual with a criminal history could have direct access to children,” the memo says. Federal plans to close Tor-

nillo by Dec. 31 may be impossible to meet. There aren’t 2,300 extra beds in other facilities, and a contract obtained by the AP shows the project could continue into 2020. Planned closures have already been extended three times since this summer. The teens at Tornillo were not separated from their families at the border. Almost all came on their own hoping to join family members in the United States. The camp’s population may

grow even more if migrants in the caravans castigated by President Donald Trump enter the U.S. Federal officials have said they may fly caravan teens who arrive in San Diego directly to El Paso, then bus them to Tornillo, according to a nonprofit social service provider who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to publicly discuss the matter. As the population inside the camp swells, young detainees’ anguish has deepened.

Pence, Kushner push for criminal justice reform By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Vice President Mike Pence and President Donald Trump’s sonin-law, Jared Kushner, visited Capitol Hill Tuesday as lawmakers from both parties push Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to hold a vote on a rewrite of the nation’s criminal justice sentencing laws. A rare bipartisan coalition — including Trump, lawmakers from both parties, liberal advocacy groups and major GOP donors — is advocating passage of the criminal justice bill. The legislation would revise 1980s and ’90s-era federal “tough on crime” laws by boosting rehabilitation efforts for federal prisoners and giving judges more discretion when sentencing nonviolent offenders, particularly for drug offenses. Supporters say the changes would make the nation’s criminal justice system more fair, reduce overcrowding in federal prisons and save taxpayer dollars. Senators announced a bipartisan agreement on the legislation earlier this month, but McConnell has yet to say whether he will hold a vote on the bill. The No. 2 Republican in the Senate, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, said Tuesday that GOP leaders are counting votes to see if the legislation has enough support to pass. Pence and Kushner were expected to push McConnell on the legislation at a private luncheon for Republican senators.

The package has been a top priority for Kushner. The legislation has created a rare split between the White House and some of the most conservative Republican senators, who say the bill could reduce penalties for some serious drug offenders and let some violent offenders out of prison. Supporters of the measure, including many Republican lawmakers, say those concerns are overblown. At a roundtable on the legislation in Mississippi on Monday, Trump said the bill would “enact reasonable sentencing reforms to ensure fairness while keeping dangerous criminals off the street,” adding that the legislation would revitalize the criminal justice system to be “tough on crime but also smart on crime.” Trump endorsed the legislation this month, giving it a huge boost. He said the bill is proof that “true bipartisanship is possible.” A bipartisan group of senators, including Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, has been pushing for action on criminal justice reforms since former President Barack Obama’s administration. But McConnell’s reluctance to hold a floor vote has come as some members of his caucus have strongly objected to the bill. Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton has led that group, arguing that sentences for drug offenders shouldn’t be given an earlier release in the middle of a national

drug epidemic. Other Republicans have also expressed concerns. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted Monday that “Sen. Cotton makes a compelling argument against sentencing reform part of the bill before Senate.” He said he’d discuss the legislation with other senators in the coming days. Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana also said he opposes the legislation. “The premise of the bill is that our criminal justice system at the federal level is unfair and that sentences are unfair,” Kennedy said. “To me, the premise has not been proven.” Still, supporters insist they can get the needed 60 votes if McConnell would just put the legislation on the floor. Mark Holden, general counsel for the conservative Koch Industries and a longtime

champion of prison reform, said he met with McConnell earlier this year and the leader told him that “we were likely to get the outcome we want because he thinks the votes are there.” The House approved a prison reform bill in May, but the proposed Senate package makes additional changes and adds the sentencing component. That means the House would need to revote on anything the Senate passes. The Senate approach would allow thousands of federal prisoners sentenced for crack cocaine offenses before August 2010 the opportunity to petition for a reduced penalty. It would also lower mandatory minimum sentences for some drug offenses. The life sentence for some drug offenders with three convictions, or “three strikes,” would be reduced to 25 years.

Report: Manafort met with Julian Assange ahead of 2016 leaks WASHINGTON — A British newspaper alleges that Paul Manafort secretly met WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London within days or weeks of being brought aboard Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Lawyers for Assange and Manafort denounced the report as false. If confirmed, the report Tuesday would suggest a direct connection between the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, which released tens of thousands of emails stolen by Russian spies during the 2016 election. The campaign seized on the emails to undermine Trump’s rival, Hillary Clinton. The Guardian, which did not identify the sources for its reporting, said that Manafort met with Assange “around March 2016” — the same month that Russian hackers began their all-out effort to steal emails from the Clinton campaign. In a statement, Manafort called the story “totally false and deliberately libelous” and said he was considering his legal options against the Guardian. “I have never met Julian Assange or anyone connected to him,” Manafort said. “I have never been contacted by anyone connected to WikiLeaks, either directly or indirectly. I have never reached out to Assange or WikiLeaks on any matter.” Assange’s Ecuadorean lawyer, Carlos Poveda, said the Guardian report was false. And WikiLeaks said on Twitter that it was “willing to bet the Guardian a million dollars and its editor’s head that Manafort never met Assange.” It later tweeted that Assange had instructed his lawyers to sue the Guardian for libel. The Guardian cited two unidentified sources as saying Manafort first met Assange at the embassy in 2013, a year after Assange took refuge there to avoid being extradited to Sweden over sex crime allegations. The Guardian said Manafort returned there in 2015 and 2016 and said its sources had “tentatively dated” the final visit to March. The newspaper added that Manafort’s visit was not entered into the embassy’s log book and cited a source as saying Manafort left after 40 minutes. There was no detail on what might have been discussed. The Trump campaign announced Manafort’s hire on March 29, 2016, and he served as the convention manager tasked with lining up delegates for the Republican National Convention. He was promoted to campaign chairman in May 2016. An AP investigation into Russian hacking shows that government-aligned cyberspies began an aggressive effort to penetrate the Clinton campaign’s email accounts on March 10, 2016. — The Associated Press

Kremlin warns of hostilities in Ukraine By NATALIYA VASILYEVA, KATE DE PURY, and NIKO PRICE Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine — The Kremlin warned Tuesday that a simmering war in eastern Ukraine could boil over after Russia seized three Ukrainian ships and Kiev responded by declaring martial law in parts of the country. Russia paraded the captured seamen on television, a move that Ukraine called criminal. Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for Sunday’s confrontation in the Kerch Strait, which links the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. The clash has raised the specter of renewing a full-blown conflict in eastern Ukraine and saw Russia strongly criticized at the United Nations by the United States and its allies. The Ukrainian parliament on Monday adopted a motion by the president to impose martial law for 30 days. That is something Ukraine avoided doing even when Russia annexed its nearby Crimean peninsula in 2014 or sent in clandestine troops and weapons to insurgents in war-torn eastern Ukraine. On Sunday near Crimea, Russian border guards rammed into and opened fire on three Ukrainian navy vessels traveling from the Black Sea toward

a Ukrainian port. The Russians seized the ships and their crews. Ukraine considers the 24 captured men to be prisoners of war and says some have been seriously injured, while Russia says they are individuals who have violated its border. The Kremlin reacted strongly to Ukraine’s declaration of martial law, with Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, telling reporters Tuesday that it might trigger a flare-up in hostilities in eastern Ukraine.

Ukrainian troops have been fighting Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine since 2014, a conflict that has left over 10,000 dead, but fighting has eased since a truce in 2015. The martial law formally went into effect on Monday in several parts of Ukraine, including areas bordering territory now held by the separatists. The Russian intelligence agency FSB claimed the ships had Ukrainian SBU intelligence agents onboard with a

mission to mount what they called “provocation” in the Kerch Strait. The strait is spanned by a new bridge that Russia completed this year — the only land link from the Russian mainland to the annexed peninsula of Crimea. The SBU on Tuesday confirmed it had officers on the ships but denied any nefarious intentions, saying they were simply fulfilling counterintelligence operations for the Ukrainian navy.

Mexico accepts housing migrants, seeks US aid

TIJUANA, Mexico — As Mexico wrestles with what to do with more than 5,000 Central American migrants camped out at a sports complex in the border city of Tijuana, President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s government signaled Tuesday that it would be willing to house the migrants on Mexican soil while they apply for asylum in

the United States — a key demand of U.S. President Donald Trump. Mexico’s new foreign minister also called on the Trump administration to contribute to development projects to help create jobs in Central America to stem the flow of migrants from the impoverished region, suggesting an appropriate figure would start at $20 billion. “We cannot determine at what pace people are interviewed” by U.S. officials as

part of the asylum process, the incoming foreign relations secretary, Marcelo Ebrard, told a news conference in Mexico City. U.S. border inspectors are processing fewer than 100 asylum claims a day at Tijuana’s main crossing to San Diego, creating a backlog of thousands. “So, what do we have to do?” Ebrard asked. “Prepare ourselves to assume that a good part of them are going to be in this area of Mexico for the coming months.” “We have to support local authorities” in housing and feeding the migrants, he said, adding: “That is not a bilateral negotiation. That is something we have to do.” Lopez Obrador, who won a crushing July 1 election victory and takes office on Saturday, built his political career on defending the poor. He now faces the difficult task of placating Trump on the migrant issue while upholding Mexico’s longstanding position of demanding better treatment for migrants. Ebrard told reporters Tuesday a key administration goal is securing a U.S. commitment to development projects in Honduras, where the vast majority of the migrants in the

Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi, who turns 92 on Thursday, honored the prince with a rare display of high protocol from a salute to the flags to the sound of the national anthems before the two reviewed troops. They then headed to the presidential palace in Carthage, outside Tunis, for closed-door talks, the only scheduled activity during the brief visit by the prince, who was on a tour of Arab countries before heading to the Group of 20 summit in Argentina. The official welcome contrasted with hostile protests by non-governmental representatives and leftist political parties with more than 200 protesters on Tuesday to cries of “Tunisia is not for sale.” Some burned a Saudi Arabian flag and others brandished saws.

Around the World

caravan come from, as well as neighboring Guatemala, El Salvador and elsewhere in Central America. “What are we negotiating with the United States? We want them to participate in the project I just mentioned” to create jobs in Central America. Asked how much the U.S. should contribute, Ebrard suggested the figure should be at least $20 billion.

WASHINGTON — The rebuke from China was fast and furious. A Chinese scientist who claimed he helped make the world’s first gene-edited babies is now under investigation by government bodies and by his own university. He Jiankui, a 34-year-old associate professor based in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, said his lab used the powerful gene-editing tool CRISPR to alter human embryos — leading to the births of twin girls earlier this month, he said. There is not yet independent confirmation of his claim, but scientists and regulators have been swift to condemn the experiment as unethical and unscientific. The National Health Commission on Monday ordered local officials in Guangdong province —where Shenzhen is located — to investigate He’s actions. China’s state broadcaster, CCTV, reported Tuesday that if the births are confirmed, He’s case will be handled “in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.” It’s not clear if he could face possible criminal charges. He’s employer, Southern University of Science and Technology, said in a statement that it was not informed about He’s human gene-editing work and has opened an investigation. The school said He’s research “seriously violated academic ethics and standards.”

Mexico to grant highest honor to Jared Kushner MEXICO CITY — The Mexican government said Tuesday that it will award President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner the highest honor the country gives to foreigners, the Order of the Aztec Eagle. The Foreign Relations Department said Kushner earned the award “for his significant contributions in achieving the renegotiation of the new (trade) agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada.” Once known as the North American Free Trade Agreement, the pact was renegotiated this year and is now called the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA. Kushner “played a fundamental role during the whole process, displaying decisive support for the trade talks … thus achieving satisfactory results,” the department said in a statement. Tuesday’s announcement was met by criticism in Mexico, where Trump is widely disliked for his comments about Mexican migrants and promises to build a border wall between the countries. Prominent Mexican intellectual Enrique Krauze called the decision to give Kushner the Aztec Eagle an act of “supreme humiliation and cowardice.” “Kushner is the son-in-law of the man who called Mexicans ‘killers and rapists,’” Krauze tweeted. — The Associated Press

There was no visible hostility during visits to a handful of other countries. A banner showing a doctored image of the prince holding a bone saw hung on the headquarters of the Tunisian journalists union. Turkish officials say Khashoggi’s body was dismembered in the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul last month. Saudi authorities have blamed the killing on lowerranking officials who they say exceeded their authority. A day earlier, about 200 protesters gathered in the same spot to say the crown prince

wasn’t welcome in this North African nation. A youth activist group that criticizes Saudi limits on women’s rights was among those demonstrating Tuesday. “No to Repression of Freedom of Expression” read one sign. “We’re here to say no, 1,000 times no to the visit by the criminal bin Salman,” said protester Said Arous. Prince Mohammed is not exposed to this kind of protest back home, where he’s engaged in a crackdown targeting business leaders, human rights activists and other royals.

Tonight, make crisp, piping hot tidbits of fried seafood

‘G rannie ’ A nnie B erg

About words we used and fun sayings! I grew up with all kinds of fun sayings. Our Dad had some that I am sure he made up! Grandpa Cogswell had some that will always stick with me. If he was perturbed or could not figure out something, he would take the old pipe out of his mouth and utter, “What the Sam hill?” Grandma’s favorites were “do-dad” and “hand me the whatchama call it!” And they both said “thingamajig” and point to whatever they needed. “Hand me that gizmo” was for something that Grandpa pointed at, but could not reach. Bob says, “Pass me the Bacus” for everything from cheese sauce to ketchup — anything that goes over the top of food. It’s a word we say almost every day in our house. Broccoli became “gawk” when grandson Arleigh was little and he wanted “more gawk.” If there is “gawk” on the table it usually has “bacus” on it. Bob’s daughter explains “whippers” as windshield wipers, whipped cream as spanking cream. “Count-ulater” is a calculator. “Headruff” was dandruff — makes sense doesn’t it? Susan and I use hand signals when we cannot find words for what we need. A back-and-forth motion with your hand and arm means “open the door,” not “hand me a saw!” If there was an earthquake, especially when she had the Fireweed Gift Shop full of glass and fragile items, we both hit the front door at the same time, usually muttering loudly, “eeeeaaarrthhqaaake!” Earthquakes at our house find me up and out the door in a split second and standing in the middle of the yard, screaming, “EARTHQUAKE.” Thirty years ago after a big “rockand-roller earthquake,” Bob told everyone that I ended up in the middle of the yard with no clothes on. YUP, I did! He told everyone at work, so it was hard to talk to them after that. Now, we both run for the TV set so it does not fall off the counter. In high school, “See ya later alligator,” and “after while crocodile” were popular. “What now, brown cow?” was a saying that most of the farm kids said. I loved to say, “See ya soon, baboon.” Some of the less popular sayings were: “Gotta’ go buffalo”; “Adios Hippos”; “Chop chop lollipop”; “Bye-bye butterfly” and “Better shake, rattlesnake.” P.S., My kids, when they were little, pronounced alligator “Gall-e-gay-tor” Or, for the phone calls we used to get on the old phone hanging on the wall — I would run as fast as I could to answer! The caller would say, “Is your refrigerator running?” I would say, “Yes” “Well, you better catch it.” And then they would hang up! I have not touched the surface of the old-time sayings, some of them regional, I am sure. Our Dad had a name for about everything other than the right name. Daughter Gail remembers her Grandpa teasing Grandma, when she would ask what he would like for breakfast. His reply was, “two lookin’ at ya, two slabs and a slice with redeye and a cuppa java.” Translated it meant two eggs sunny side up, two pieces of toast, a slice of ham with red pan gravy and a cup of coffee. Mom would not ask what that was, but set about making him breakfast. Dad would smirk and wait and see what she put on his plate. He had many variations such as, “two hen fruit, a squeal and two bombs and a scoop of glue.” Translated was two eggs, bacon or sausage, two biscuits with gravy on them. Oatmeal was oats, or horse fodder or horse power. He called my dumplings “cannon balls.” Yes, they were! When I was little I called Mom and Dad “John and Loretta” because everyone else did! Finally, Dad got tired of me addressing them as John and Loretta. He told me HE was “Dad” and, pointing, Mom was “Mom.” I was very confused, until I was corrected every time I said it. I FINALLY caught on!! Dad called me “cotton top.” Brother John was “Butch or Sonny.” Sister, Ginger was “Squeaky” (I have no idea why — because she has a beautiSee ANNIE, page B8

Mixed fried seafood — or fritto misto di mare — can be found throughout Italy; however, the most iconic and evocative incarnation hails from Campania. Indeed, it’s easy to imagine sitting in a Neapolitan trattoria eating crisp, piping hot tidbits of fried seafood while looking out on the Bay of Naples. Red mullet, squid or cuttlefish and shrimp are some common choices you might find in classic versions. The seafood is lightly dusted with flour before frying, and it must be eaten right from the pot to be crispy. In a home kitchen, we knew we would need to fry our seafood in batches to prevent the oil temperature from dropping excessively. Adding cornstarch to the mix kept our first batch crispy while we fried the second. (Unlike flour, cornstarch is a pure starch whose molecules lock into place during the frying process to form a dry, brittle coating.) For the fish, easy-to-find, mild-

Using kitchen shears or sharp paring knife, cut through shell of shrimp and devein but do not remove shell. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.

tasting sole or flounder fillets were thin enough to cook through in the time it took the coating to adequately brown. The shrimp are fried and eaten shell and all, as the shell fries up crisp. We found that by cutting through the shells, we could achieve even more delicate results because moisture could quickly escape. To ensure that the shells fry up crisp, avoid using shrimp that are overly large or jumbo. We prefer 31to 40-count shrimp here, but 26- to 30-count may be substituted. Use a Dutch oven that holds 6 quarts or more. Trim any squid tentacles longer than 3 inches.

For a classic rendition of chicken soup, go for the thighs By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN

This classic rendition of chicken soup starts the old- fashioned way, by making a from-scratch broth. But instead of using a whole chicken we turned to meaty chicken thighs, which kept things easier; they also added intense, meaty flavor to the broth. To cut down on greasiness, we removed the skin after browning and before letting the thighs simmer along with the chopped and sauteed onion and bay leaves. Since most people prefer white meat in their chicken soup, we simply poached two boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the simmering broth, removing them when tender to add to the soup at the end. With the broth and the meat taken care of, we turned our attention to the soup with an eye toward keeping things simple and traditional. Onion, carrot, and celery and some fresh thyme fit the bill. As for the noodles, cooking them right in the broth intensified their flavor. Note that the thighs are used to flavor the broth, but once the broth is strained, the meat can be shredded and used for chicken salad or a pot pie. If you prefer dark meat in your soup, you can omit the chicken breasts and add the shredded thigh meat to the soup instead.

CLASSIC CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP Servings: 8-10 Start to finish: 1 hour Broth: 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed Salt and pepper 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 onion, chopped 12 cups water 2 bay leaves 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed

Soup: 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 onion, chopped fine 1 carrot, peeled and sliced thin 1 celery rib, halved lengthwise and sliced thin 2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme 6 ounces wide egg noodles 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley Salt and pepper For the broth Pat thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until smoking. Cook half of thighs skin side down until deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Turn thighs and lightly brown second side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to strainer set in large bowl. Repeat with remaining thighs and transfer to strainer; discard fat in bowl. Pour off fat from pot, add onion, and cook over medium heat until just softened, about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, remove and discard skin from thighs. Add thighs, water, bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon salt to pot. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add chicken breasts and continue simmering until broth is rich and flavorful, about 15 minutes. Strain broth into large container, let stand for at least 10 minutes, then remove fat from surface. Meanwhile, transfer chicken to cutting board to cool. Once cooled, remove thigh meat from bones, shred, and reserve for another use (can refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month). Shred breast meat and reserve for soup. For the soup: Heat oil in now-empty Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook until onion has softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in thyme and broth and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add noodles and shredded breast meat and simmer until noodles are just tender, about 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Serve.

. . . Annie

ful name, Virginia Ruth.) Little sister Elaine was “Laney” and little brother James David Continued from page A7 was Jimmy Dad had many nicknames for his neighbors and fellow farmers. “Old Vic” and “Chaw-tabbacie Henry” to name a few. My Grandpa and Grandma Cogswell called me “Edith Ann” because Grandma named me. I never liked the name and asked her why she named me Edith Ann. “Well,” she said, “I could have named you after me — Freda Pauline or Freda Louise.” I settled for Ann and never questioned my name after that. I was Ann or Annie in high school. Some called me Sam to tease. My close friends still call me Annie-Banannaie. In my “other life,” my friend Howard called me Molly. Dad told me at one time he wished my name was Molly Ann. I like that name! Now I am Grannie Annie to everyone. I like that, and do not mind at all. Dad loved pranks and usually got one on someone daily! One time he came running into the bedroom and shouted, “Get up and get dressed — hurry quick — the cows are out and I need your help.” Well, we would do anything for Dad; so we jumped out of bed, scrambling for clothes. John, Ginger and I put our clothes and shoes on as fast as we could, grabbed our coats and out the door we flew. Dad was standing in the yard, with a grin. “April Fools,” he said. One time he scared Ginger and I so badly we almost killed each other getting through the dining room door about Halloween time. We were fighting over getting the dishes done, because I had a date, and Ginger was not washing dishes fast enough. All of the sudden this ugly thing popped up in the window above the sink and hollered, “Boo!” Like I said, we injured ourselves getting through the dinning room door. Running into the living room we shouted, “There is a monster outside!” Mom hid behind her paper, and told us not to be silly, just as Dad came in the living room door with a rag mop over his head and his teeth out. He was our MONSTER! The laughter was loud, especially from Dad! He told that story for years. Dad told stories over and over to anyone that would listen — bankers, lawyers CPAs, dentists and doctors. And he would end up laughing louder than they would, because he loved telling a good joke — or pulling one on ya! Well, those are good memories. How about your family and nicknames or pranks? It is fun to “re-memory” — as I thought the word “remember” was at one time.

Beef short ribs are a prime example of how the precise control of time and temperature afforded by sous vide cooking can affect a piece of meat. Short ribs are a tougher cut, with a good amount of collagen and intramuscular fat so they are traditionally braised to a fall-apart texture. But with sous vide, you can achieve short ribs that have a texture similar to a medium-rare steak or you can deliver a more traditional flaky, braised texture—or land almost anywhere in between. For this recipe, we were looking for a fall-apart tender, pot roast-style texture, so we decided on a higher-temperature water bath (160 F) while keeping the cooking time under 24 hours. This cooking time and temperature combination allowed

us to break down this tough cut’s intramuscular collagen, tenderizing the meat while keeping it moist and preserving a rosy interior from edge to edge. To make things even easier, we frontloaded the work. We quickly seared the short ribs, and then we built a sauce with traditional pot roast ingredients: mirepoix, tomato paste, red wine, beef broth, and herbs. We bagged up the beef and sauce together for their sous vide bath. Afterward, we strained the sauce and briefly reduced it on the stovetop, we poured it over the tender short ribs and finished the dish with a sprinkling of fresh parsley. Easy pot roast, no pot or roasting required. Make sure that the ribs are at least 4 inches long and 1 inch thick. Be sure to double-bag the ribs to protect against seam failure.

and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in wine, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to blender and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Divide ribs, sauce, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves between two 1-gallon zipper-lock freezer bags and toss to coat. Arrange ribs in single layer and seal bags, pressing out as much air as possible. Place each bag in second 1-gallon zipper-lock freezer bag and seal bags. Gently lower bags into prepared water bath until ribs are fully submerged, and then clip top corner

of each bag to side of water bath container, allowing remaining air bubbles to rise to top of bag. Reopen 1 corner of each zipper, release remaining air bubbles, and reseal bags. Cover and cook for at least 20 hours or up to 24 hours. Using tongs, transfer ribs to serving dish. Tent with aluminum foil and let rest while finishing sauce. Strain cooking liquid through fine-mesh strainer into medium saucepan, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids. Bring to simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced to 2 cups, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over ribs, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

Bulldogs prevail on Kenai’s senior night Kenai wins 5 of 7 matches, but Nikiski takes dual meet victory By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Central wrestling team celebrated a successful senior night Tuesday at Kenai Central High School, even as Nikiski made off with a 48-24 dual victory. The Kardinals won five of the seven contested matches Tuesday, but Nikiski picked up points in six of the seven forfeited matches to run away with the team title. The night began with a celebration of Kenai’s lone senior on the squad, Brandon Kroto, and the evening ended for Kroto with a 9-6 win over Nikiski’s Mason Payne. Kroto was one of three Kenai wrestlers that turned the tables on their Nikiski opponent. Earlier this year, Payne prevailed over Kroto in a close 7-6 decision at Nikiski’s home tournament, the Top Dog Invite, in early November. “It felt good to get redemption,” Kroto said. Kenai’s other two competitors who avenged earlier season losses to their Nikiski counterparts included Tucker Vann over Koleman McCaughey and Rocky Sherbahn over Dustin Mullins. Vann lost to McCaughery 9-7 at the Top Dog Invite but beat him Tuesday 7-4 in the 160-pound match, while Sherbahn lost to Mullins by pin at the ACS Invite, but pinned him Tuesday at 215 pounds. Kroto said he enjoyed the festivities of senior night, even though he was the lone senior

competitor of the evening. Kenai also celebrated senior team manager Jayce Lakshas. The night was especially enjoyable for Kroto, who said he joined the wrestling program as a sophomore because of his late father, Ted Kroto, who passed away in 2005 when Brandon was very young. “He was a state placer at Nikiski,” Kroto said of his father. “I joined because he wrestled too.” Kroto beat Payne Tuesday night with a 9-6 decision in the 152-pound match, using a late takedown to break a 6-all tie. Kenai head coach Stan Steffensen praised both his seniors on the team for their consistent hard work put in throughout the season, and said Tuesday night was a prime time to recognize both Kroto and Lakshas. “The greatest thing is seeing them show up and ready to go each and every day,” Steffensen said. “(Payne) is a tremendous athlete so for Brandon to beat him after he got beat last time is phenomenal, and (Lakshas) is the cream of the crop.” Talon Whicker grabbed the 103-pound win Tuesday with a pin on Nikiski’s Griffin Gray with 32 seconds left in the second round. Nikiski got wins out of Chase Olsen in the 119-pound match and Jordan Fleming at 125 pounds. Olsen pinned Kenai’s Daemon Duniphin in the first round and Fleming pinned Isaiah Ticknor with 39 seconds left in the second round. Bulldogs head coach Adam

(Photo by Joey Klecka/Peninsula Clarion) Anders was pleased with the dual win but said his Bulldogs squad is still just a tick away from executing at full capacity with the region tournament right around the corner. “It’s good just to wrestle well tonight,” Anders said. “We

definitely have areas to improve in, but the effort’s there. We just have to clean up a few things technically.” Olivia Easley of Kenai won the lone girls bout of the night, a pin on Nikiski’s Destiny Martin at 130 pounds.

Stars celebrate senior night with win over Homer By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Soldotna wrestling team celebrated senior night by defeating Homer 47-32 on Tuesday at Soldotna Prep, but the matchup with the most pedigree didn’t even count in the team scores. Homer senior McKenzie Cook, a three-time girls state champion and the top-ranked wrestler at 145 pounds by alaskangrappler.com, took on Soldotna junior Amanda Wylie, who was third at state last year. Wylie is ranked No. 2 at 160 but Soldotna coach Neldon Gardner said she should be up to No. 1 after winning the Lancer Smith Memorial in the middle of the month. Wylie also is a true 152-pounder, but that weight class doesn’t exist for the girls. Gardner and Homer assistant coach Chris Perk said the match hinged on Wylie’s excellent headand-arm move. Perk said the coaching staff worked on defending the move with Cook and it paid off with a pin with 1 minute, 26 seconds, left in the third period. “She did defend really well against the head and arm,” Gardner said. “If Amanda had been able to get it, it would have been a different match.” More than her technical precision, Perk loved the way Cook persisted in scoring points until the pin came. “If you’re going to be No. 1, you’ve got to wrestle like it,” Perk said. The Stars honored seniors Brennan Warner, Logan Craig and Gideon Hutchison, then went out and notched four pins in upending the Mariners.

Gardner said key pins came from Werner at 189 and Brayde Wolfe at 145. Werner had been wrestling 215 all season, but has moved down to 189 because the starter at the weight, Hudson Metcalf, has been lost for the season due to injury. “You never know if a kid is going to be able to pin when he moves down like that,” Gardner said. Gardner also thought Wolfe’s match with David Weisser would be close, but Wolfe was able to notch the third-period pin. Other pins from SoHi came from Sean Babitt at 171 and Hutchison at 130. Babitt is ranked No. 6 at his weight class, while Hutchison, a defending state champ, is No. 2. Several wrestlers were absent that could have made the evening more interesting. Aaron Faletoi, the top-ranked Division I wrestler at 215, just barely missed making weight for the Stars. Jadin Mann, the No. 2 heavyweight at Division II for Homer, and Josh Bradshaw at 160 could not make the trip on a school night. Homer forfeited at heavyweight and 160. But Perk had plenty to like, including the performance of his quartet of top-ranked wrestlers in Seth Inama at 125, Luciano Fasulo at 135, Wayne Newman at 140 and Mose Hayes at 152. Fasulo was wrestling just his second match of the season after coming back from a knee injury. The senior and two-time defending state champ pinned Blaine Hayes for his 99th straight win. There was talk of a battle royale between Fasulo and Hutchison, but they settled on different weight classes. “As a wrestling fan, I’d love to see those two wrestle,” Perk said. “As a

coach of a healing wrestler we’re going to need in two weeks, I think we made the prudent decision.” Newman won by pin, while Inama and Hayes both won via major decisions. Hayes’ 15-7 victory over Dennis Taylor had something both coaches could love. Gardner said he was proud of the way his sophomore battled a defending state champ. Perk loved the way Hayes turned Taylor loose with 17 seconds left, then scored a takedown in the final seconds to turn a decision into a major decision. “That guy has got goals,” Perk said of Hayes. “He wants to win state. “He could have rode him out for 17 seconds but didn’t. When we talk in three weeks, I think that will be a decision that helps put him on the championship podium.” Hunter Harrington pinned for Homer at 215, while Perk also liked the way Ian Stovall, ranked No. 6 at 130, battled Hutchison, holding a 5-4 lead after the first period.

Georgia joins top 4 college rankings, Sooners on outside By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

Oklahoma is on the doorstep of the College Football Playoff. The Sooners were No. 5 in the pivotal second-to-last College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday night, ahead of Ohio State heading into championship weekend when the final four will be set. The biggest question facing the selection committee this week was how much to value Ohio State’s 62-39 blowout of Michigan on Saturday. The answer: The Buckeyes moved up four spots but were still stuck behind the

Sooners. “I really don’t have a measurement for closeness,” selection committee chairman Rob Mullens said when asked what separated Ohio State and Oklahoma. Mullens cited Oklahoma’s historic offense. The Sooners are on pace to set an FBS record for yards per play, averaging 8.92. “While their defense has been a challenge, their offense has been superior,” Mullens said. The top three teams in the selection committee’s rankings held steady for a fourth straight week. Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame — all unbeaten

— are Nos. 1, 2 and 3. Georgia moved into the fourth spot that was previously occupied by Michigan, heading into its SEC championship game against Alabama. It’s a given the SEC winner makes the playoff. Maybe the loser, too. Notre Dame is already in the clubhouse at 12-0 and Clemson faces Pittsburgh in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. That leaves one spot very much in play. Ohio State faces Northwestern (84) in the Big Ten championship in Indianapolis and Oklahoma rematches Texas (9-3) in the Big 12 title game in Arlington, Texas. The Longhorns

handed the Sooners their only regularseason loss in October. Ohio State’s lone loss was by 29 points at Purdue. Can the Buckeyes vault past the Sooners if both win Saturday? There is some precedent. In 2014, Ohio State beat Wisconsin 59-0 in the Big Ten championship game and jumped from sixth to fourth, passing co-Big 12 champions Baylor and TCU. The Buckeyes might need a similar performance to have a shot this time. What else could make for mystery heading into selection Sunday? MAXIMUM OUTRAGE The defense-smitten committee

could be presented with an alternative option for the fourth spot depending on how things go in the SEC championship game. It will drive fans outside of SEC country out of their minds, but Alabama seems like a lock to make the playoff even if it loses — barring some kind of epic beatdown of the Tide by the Bulldogs in Atlanta. Note: Alabama has never lost a game by more than 14 points under Nick Saban. What could make SEC haters even angrier? Alabama beats Georgia 31-28 on a last-play field goal and the committee is so impressed with the Bulldogs they just throw them in there at See CFP, page A10

A10 | Wednesday, November 28, 2018 | Peninsula Clarion

. . . CFP Continued from page A9

No. 4, despite the two losses and lack of a conference championship. That seems extreme considering the committee has yet to include a two-loss team in the playoff, bypassing ones with conference championships for one-loss teams without. But if Ohio State and/or Oklahoma are unimpressive winners on Saturday — or they both lose — the CFP could have two SEC teams in it for the second straight season. And, just to make even more people angry, Notre Dame’s inclusion would mean three of the Power Five conference would not be represented. IS CLEMSON IN ALREADY? Looks good for the Tigers. Don’t bet on Clemson losing to Pitt (7-5) in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game this weekend — seriously, do not do that. If it were to happen, though, would it really be worse than losing to Purdue the way Ohio State did? And could the committee really pass over Clemson’s balance on both sides of the ball — fourth in offensive yards per play and third in defensive yards per play — for the lopsided Sooners?

Not having that conference championship could get tricky, and Ohio State and Oklahoma fans would cry strength of schedule because of a down year in the ACC, but having played Texas A&M and South Carolina outside the conference means the numbers look OK there for the Tigers, too. TOUGH LOSS FOR THE COUGARS After Washington State lost to Washington last Friday to hand the Huskies a spot in the Pac-12 championship game, the assumption was Wazzu was still in fine shape for a big game. Maybe the Fiesta Bowl. Upon further, review probably not. The Cougars (10-2) were ranked 13th, behind ninthranked Florida, 10th-ranked LSU, 11th-ranked Washington and 12th-ranked Penn State, all with three losses. Wazzu will likely settle for the Alamo Bowl and the Pac-12 will get just one team in the New Year’s Six . IF FORM HOLDS If all the favorites win and the committee doesn’t become infatuated with Georgia, the New Year’s Six bowls will likely look like this: Orange Bowl (semifinal): No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 Oklahoma. Cotton Bowl (semifinal): No. 2 Clemson vs. No. 3 Notre Dame.

Sabres beat Sharks for 10th straight win By The Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres had to go to overtime after squandering a two-goal lead in the third period, but they still made it a perfect 10. Jeff Skinner scored his team-leading 19th goal 1:19 into overtime, and the Sabres won their 10th straight by beating the San Jose Sharks 3-2 on Tuesday night. Rasmus Ristolainen scored off a deke around Brent Burns, and Nathan Beaulieu also scored for Buffalo, which hasn’t lost since Nov. 4. The streak matches the longest in Sabres history and is the NHL’s best run since the Columbus Blue Jackets won 16 in a row from Nov. 29, 2016, to Jan. 3, 2017. Buffalo won 10 straight twice before, and most recently by going 10-0 to open the 2006-07 season. Carter Hutton stopped the first 32 shots he faced and 36 overall to extend his personal-best winning streak to eight, during which he’s allowed just 15 goals. SENATORS 4, FLYERS 3 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brady Tkachuk scored twice in the third period and Matt Duchene scored the eventual winner with 2:59 left, lifting Ottawa past Philadelphia, in the Flyers’ first game since they fired general manager Ron Hextall. Thomas Chabot also scored for Ottawa, which snapped a threegame losing skid. Jake Voracek, Radko Gudas and Travis Konecny scored for the Flyers, who coughed up a 3-1 lead over the final 6½ minutes and lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Ryan Hartman and Kevin Fiala scored for the Predators. Pekka Rinne finished with 22 saves.

Nuggets roll Lakers in blowout By The Associated Press

DENVER — Paul Millsap, Jamal Murray and Malik Beasley scored 20 points apiece, and the Denver Nuggets rolled to their biggest victory ever over the Los Angeles Lakers, a 117-85 rout on Tuesday night. The 32-point margin surpassed a 29-point win in 1993. Nikola Jokic added 14 points and Juancho Hernangomez had 12 for the Nuggets, who won their fourth in a row. Kyle Kuzma scored 21 points for Los Angeles, while LeBron James and Brandon Ingram added 14 apiece. The Lakers, who handed the Nuggets their first loss of the season in late October in Los Angeles, struggled to find their shooting touch against Denver’s defensive pressure. RAPTORS 122, GRIZZLIES 114 MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Kyle Lowry had 24 points and six assists, Fred VanVleet added 18 points and Toronto used a 3-point shooting burst in the fourth quarter to beat Memphis. VanVleet made all six shots on the night, including three from outside the arc in the fourth, when Toronto was 7 of 12 from 3-point range. Lowry was 5 of 8 on 3-pointers. Kawhi Leonard finished with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Serge Ibaka scored 16 points as the Raptors won their sixth

No. 3 Duke takes care of Hoosiers DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Zion Williamson scored 25 points, RJ Barrett added 22 and No. 3 Duke routed Indiana 90-69 on Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Tre Jones added 15 points and a fourth Duke freshman — Cameron Reddish — finished with 13 to help the Blue Devils (6-1) bounce back from their lone loss and win one of the made-for-TV event’s glamour matchups. This one featured a handful of potential NBA lottery picks — the Duke freshmen and Indiana’s Romeo Langford — on the floor at the same time. Duke looked nothing like the group that lost to Gonzaga last week in the Maui Invitational final . The Blue Devils never trailed, shot 52 percent and turned a season-worst 20 turnovers by Indiana into 24 points. Langford scored 13 points

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Zach Aston-Reese scored the tiebreaking goal with 5:12 remaining off a perfect pass from Phil Kessel, and Pittsburgh rallied past Winnipeg. Derek Grant’s first of the season pulled the Penguins even 5:08 into the third period. Sidney Crosby and Riley Sheahan also scored for Pittsburgh (10-8-5). Mark Scheifele scored twice for the Jets (13-8-2), and Brandon Tanev had their other goal.

COYOTES 4, WILD 3 ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Josh Archibald had two goals and an assist, and Arizona rallied from a two-goal, third-period deficit for the win. Lawson Crouse and Michael Grabner also scored for Arizona, which snapped a four-game losing streak. Charlie Coyle, Zach Parise and Jason Zucker scored for the Wild. Jared Spurgeon assisted on all three goals, matching his career high for assists.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Miller made 34 saves and Nick Ritchie had a goal and an assist for Anaheim. Miller won his 373rd game, moving past Andy Moog for sole possession of 17th place on the career wins list. He also moved within one victory of tying John Vanbiesbrouck for the most by a U.S.-born goalie. Josh Manson and Carter Rowney also scored for the Ducks.

Crossword

Mom stays close to married son through a tracking app app on his phone or delete it altogether. What his mother is doing is sick. She is using the tracker as a substitute for the umbilical cord that should have been severed when her son was born. It’s a huge invasion of your and your husband’s privacy. He is so used to caving in to his mother that he doesn’t have the strength to assert himself. I do not think you should take your mother-in-law on by yourself. Enlist the help of a licensed marriage and family therapist for suggestions about how to create some separation, because that process may be somewhat complicated. DEAR ABBY: My relationship with my boyfriend has been wonderful, except for one issue. He wants us to have a three-way with another woman. Even after I let him know I’m not bisexual, he has suggested it multiple times. Some of my previous partners have suggested this as well, and it has left me feeling as though I will never be enough. I consider it cheating, although they might disagree because I would be involved. I find this extremely hurtful. I love my boyfriend and don’t want to end the relationship, but I’m afraid I must because I don’t want to be with someone I can never satisfy (he has mentioned he plans to propose). What do you think? I wish he had never asked me

to do this because it feels horrible. If any male readers have insight, I’d love to hear from them as well. -- NOT ENOUGH DEAR NOT ENOUGH: What your boyfriend has suggested is a common male fantasy. I can only wonder if he would react the same way you have if you suggested Abigail Van Buren a threesome with him and another man. Because this isn’t your cup of tea, you are right to have refused. What concerns me is what you think is going to happen if the two of you should marry, because this issue will not go away once the “I do’s” are over. As you requested, I will let male readers weigh in on this one, but personally, I think the time has come to resume your search for Mr. Right. 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, Nov. 28, 2018: This year you might not know exactly why, but you assume a much more upbeat and easygoing attitude. To shake you up will take talent. You find heated situations less frustrating because of your ability to walk in someone else’s shoes. If you are single, and you’re ready to settle down, you could meet Mr. or Ms. Right. Do not commit until you are sure this person is The One. If you are attached, the two of you enter a very romantic and special period. Know that your relationship is still evolving. LEO gives you a lot of advice about love. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Your optimism combined with persistence makes you a surebet winner. Your creativity and imagination prevent boredom and allow you to enjoy many situations that others could not tolerate. Romance is in the air. Tonight: Say “yes” to adding more variety to your life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be up for making a change on the homefront. The choices you make reflect your personality and your artistic needs. Don’t underestimate the importance of having natural elements around you. Consider a loved one’s needs in making decisions. Tonight: Out late. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You have a lot on your mind, yet you feel free around friends. You could be stunned by a suggestion that comes from out of left field. You realize the importance of mak-

Rubes

ing a firm decision before someone changes his or her mind. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You are emotional, and when you feel like this, you often overspend, overeat or indulge in some type of behavior that allows you to forget your mood. Try to use self-discipline. Keep your receipts in case you change your mind in a day or so. Tonight: Let someone else pick up the tab. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Even if total uproar surrounds you, you will remain upbeat and unbothered. You see the glass as being half full rather than half empty. Your sincere enjoyment of people adds to the excitement of the moment. You like the cards you have been dealt. Tonight: All smiles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might want some downtime away from others. You could feel as if someone takes great pleasure in forcing you to rethink or review your ideas. However, this might not be the case. Worry less about this person; distancing yourself is a smart move. Tonight: Vanish. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Be aware of your immediate circle of friends. You could be tired of being so social. Even you need a break sometimes. A special person in your life delights in having more free time with you. You could discover a magical quality to the day. Tonight: Where the crowds are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Pressure builds as you become more and more aware of someone’s expectations. Lighten up. You easily can meet this person’s expec-

tations. You are more than capable of completing necessary tasks. You will become more confident in the next few days. Tonight: Accept an offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might need to clear up a problem that has emerged in the past few days. You’ll relax as you see the implications of being able to open new doors. Pursue a long-term goal. Detach, and every obstacle easily melts away. Tonight: Be where good live music is played. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH One-on-one relating profoundly affects you. Let go of an underlying sense of insecurity. You now feel as if you can build on this relationship. Be open to talks, ideas and unusual options. Add more celebration to your life. Tonight: Pop a bottle of champagne before dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be trying too hard to make an impression on someone. Know that you don’t need to be anyone but yourself. Accept others more openly, and you will see that your interactions become more exciting as a result. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Pace yourself, and get as much done as possible. You could be tired and withdrawn if you just toss yourself into what you must do. Slow down and relax -- you do not have endless energy. Know that you will get everything done. Tonight: Soak away stress in a hot tub. BORN TODAY Fashion designer John Galliano (1960), comedian Jon Stewart (1962), actress Karen Gillan (1987)

Flavorful fried rice Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for FRIED RICE that was very flavorful, and my kids loved it. I’ve lost that recipe, so could you reprint it for me? I read your column daily and love the recipes you publish. -- Rita K. in Indiana Rita, here it is, and it’s one of my favorites as well: Mother’s Fried Rice 1 cup cooked rice 4 to 5 slices bacon (diced) and drippings 3 to 4 eggs 3 to 4 cut green onions (or scallions), tops and all Any leftover bits of pork, beef or ham, chopped into small pieces (optional) Soy sauce to taste Cook and cool the rice a day ahead, or at least earlier in the day. It’s better if the rice has a chance to dry out a bit. Brown the bacon in a heavy skillet until crisp. Remove the bacon and turn down the heat. Slightly beat eggs and pour them into hot bacon drippings. Add rice and onions and mix together. Add bacon and leftover meat. Mix. Add soy sauce until the rice is as brown as you like it. Stir well and cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. This and many more original Heloise recipes, such as Peking Roast, Chinese Beets and Salmonettes, are included in my pamphlet Heloise’s Main Dishes and More. If you would like a copy, send $3, along with a stamped (71 cents), self-addressed, long envelope, to: Heloise/Main Dishes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. With the holidays just around the corner, you can prepare dishes that will have them asking for seconds. -- Heloise FRYING WITH BUTTER Dear Heloise: This is an old tried-andtrue hint: If you fry something in butter, put a little bit of vegetable oil in the bottom of the skillet before adding the butter. This way, the butter will brown gently without burning. -- Pat M., Wood River, Ill.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband for five years. We live in the same town as my in-laws, and for the most part, we get along great. However, my mother-in-law does something that makes me uneasy. She uses an app to track my husband. She pressured him into installing it right before our wedding and has tracked him ever since. She’ll often text or call him to ask why he’s going to the store, or what he was doing when he was late to work, etc. Once he tried to remove the app, but she quickly noticed and confronted him. Abby, I have never seen her so angry! My husband caved and reinstalled it. Since then, he says it doesn’t really bother him that she tracks him. Part of me feels that if he wants to let his mother track him, that’s his business. But another part of me feels this is an invasion of my privacy as well, since we are together much of the time. It also worries me that he’s so quick to cave to his mother’s demands, and that he isn’t bothered by such an obvious invasion of privacy. Am I wrong to be upset about this? What can I do to get my mother-in-law to give us some privacy? -- UNEASY IN KANSAS DEAR UNEASY: You’re not wrong. Your husband should revoke the location permission on the

Peninsula Driving Academy takes best commercial entry in Kenai’s Electric Light Parade.

The day after Thanksgiving may be known elsewhere as Black Friday, but on the Peninsula it’s when Christmas Comes to Kenai. Santa arrives by Kenai Fire Department ladder truck, so his reindeer can conserve their energy for the big night, and children get a chance to whisper their wish lists to the jolly ol’ man in person. Families lined up early in front of the Kenai visitor center

 

“The mild weather only gets part of the credit. This is an amazing community and they turn out regardless of the weather. But, stop the press, we had 13 entries in this year’s Electric Light Parade and that is an all-time record,” Beech said, who has organized the event since its inception. The winners of this year’s parade faced fierce competition. In previous years there have been more award catego-

ries then entries, but this year the judges had their work cut out for them. Taking the youth award was the Kenai Central High School drum line. “They were totally phenomenal this year with more kids than ever, and we really enjoy them leading the parade,” said Beech. The commercial category went to the Kenai Peninsula Driving Academy, which

adorned one of its semitrucks with inflatable floats and lights everywhere. “They really upped their game this year,” Beech said. Racing for Recovery took the best organization award. “They had a sprint car on top of a flatbed trailer with toys in the wheels and flying off the tail of the car. It was so cool,” Beech said. CARTS took overall winner. See LIGHT, page A2

Celebrating Thanksgiving dinner with the Salvation Army For decades, the Salvation Army has hosted a free community Thanksgiving Dinner. The idea for the dinner was spearheaded by the Salvation Army Church and the Kelly Keating family. Soldotna Rotary Club members and their families, who have taken on cooking for the meal, prepare all the fixings. Envoy Craig Fanning of the Salvation Army looks forward to the event every year. “It’s been a great event and folks have been making it their family Thanksgiving dinner for years, and people count on it. It’s a great place where a lot of folks, who maybe only see each other once a year, gather for a friendly community meal that has become a tradition,” Fanning said. “After the Rotary Club prepares the food, we have other volunteers who come in to serve and it’s become their family tradition of community service as well.” The day after Thanksgiving also kicks off the Salvation Army’s only fundraising event of the year — the annual Kettle Drive, where volunteers ring the traditional bells of Christmas to collect donations for the services they provide year-round. See THANKS, page A2

Love & Care For Your Children 

to await Santa’s arrival. Santa’s elves, along with Frosty the Snowman, were on hand to entertain the children while they waited, and to treat them to cookies and hot chocolate. Last Friday proved to be a mild and calm winter’s day that brought what might have been record breaking crowds to Kenai for the event, Johna Beech, CEO and president of the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center, said.
