Vol. 49, Issue 46

In the news Assistant District Attorney Jason Gist appointed to Kenai Superior Court Anchorage Assistant District Attorney Jason Gist will be the next addition to the Kenai Superior Court.

Gist, who has been living and practicing law in Alaska for 14 years, was appointed by Gov. Bill Walker Wednesday.

Gist was one of four candidates whose names were forwarded by the Alaska Judicial Council to the governor earlier this month. Roberta Erwin, Daniel Schally and Shawn Traini were also nominated. Gist, who will replace retiring Superior Court Judge Charles Huegelet, is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley School of Law. He clerked for Alaska’s Chief Justice Alexander O. Bryner, worked in private practice, and has been an Assistant District Attorney for the State of Alaska since 2008.

Borough drops invocation fight Assembly votes 5-4 against appeal, updates speaker policy

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Tuesday night, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly voted to not appeal a Superior Court decision that cited the borough’s invocation policy as unconstitutional. The assembly also passed a resolution changing current invocation policy to allow a wider group of people the ability to offer invocations.

Last month, the borough lost a lawsuit against plaintiffs represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska in a fight over its invocation policy, which allows certain groups and individuals to offer an invocation at the beginning of each meeting. The plaintiffs, Lance Hunt, an atheist, Iris Fontana,

a member of The Satanic Temple, and Elise Boyer, a member of the Jewish community in Homer, all applied to give invocations after the policy was established in 2016. All three were denied because they did not belong to official organizations with an established presence on the peninsula. They sued and the ACLU Alaska agreed to represent them.

Peterson ruled the invocation policy, passed in 2016, violates the Alaska Constitution’s establishment clause, which is a mandate banning government from establishing an official religion or the favoring of one belief over another. Article 1, Section 4 of the constitution provides that “no law shall be See APPEAL, page A3

Dunleavy picks MacKinnon for transportation commissioner JUNEAU — Gov.-elect Mike Dunleavy has named the outgoing executive director of the Associated General Contractors of Alaska as his transportation commissioner.

John MacKinnon is a former deputy commissioner and married to outgoing Republican state Sen. Anna MacKinnon of Eagle River.

Dunleavy’s team previously said it asked state employees who serve at the pleasure of the governor to resign and indicate if they wish to work for the incoming administration. Anchorage and Fairbanks airport managers are on the list.

Dunleavy said he wants to review whether employees are a good fit for the administration and its agenda.

House race tied, ballot review continues

Food bank hosts community Thanksgiving feast

JUNEAU — The race for an Alaska House seat that will decide control of the chamber was tied Wednesday, though that tally could change with hundreds of absentee ballots going through the auditing process Friday.

The Division of Elections said the review board went through ballots voted early and on Election Day in the race to succeed Fairbanks Democratic Rep. Scott Kawasaki. The board is scheduled to audit about 600 absentee ballots Friday, according to a division spokeswoman.

Heading into Wednesday, Republican Bart LeBon held a five-vote lead over Democrat Kathryn Dodge. The division said the two were tied with 2,661 after Wednesday’s review, which gave Dodge six additional votes and LeBon one.

Michaela Thompson, an election coordinator with the division, attributed Wednesday’s change in numbers to several factors.

She said the board made adjustments based on ballots that were marginally marked and not picked up by the machine.

Those were added through a hand count, she said. She said there also were ballots set aside as uncounted on Election Day after, for some reason, not going through the machine. Those were set aside in an envelope for review, she said.

The division has targeted Monday for certifying the election. If the tie stands and is certified, a recount in the race would occur Nov. 30, the division said.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Kenai

By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

In Kenai, the Friday after Thanksgiving means one thing — it’s time for Christmas.

This year, the Kenai Chamber of Commerce continues their tradition with Christmas Comes to Kenai on Nov. 23.

“We’re excited to have Santa back this year,” said Kenai Chamber of Commerce Director Johna Beech. “The Kenai Fire Department will be driving him over on a truck at 11

a.m. and he’ll stay until about 1:30.”

Families can have their photo taken with Santa, Beech said, and will see the photos in about a week. Guests are also invited to take their own photos.

“All photos are free for anyone that wants to take a photo,” she said.

While Santa has some of the gifts covered, others can be bought at the Kenai Fine Arts Guild Arts and Craft Fair at Kenai Central High School

opening at 10 a.m. on Friday.

The Challenger Center will also be hosting the seventh annual Holiday Bazaar.

The school will be filled with local vendors and crafters for those who want to get their shopping done early. There will also be food vendors, for those who can’t stomach any more turkey. The fair will be open until 5 p.m.

Starting at 6 p.m., the Electric Lights Parade will run through Old Town Kenai.

Ash from Mount Veniaminof prompts aviation warning

By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Residents of a tiny Alaska Native community woke up to a little pre-Thanksgiving excitement Wednesday, with a neighboring volcano spewing a billowing dark cloud high into the air.

The sooty emissions from Mount Veniaminof were visible from the Aleut village of Perryville nearly 25 miles to the south, locals said. But the wind was pushing the plume away from the community of 101 people.

Alaska Volcano Observatory scientists said that overnight emissions from Veniaminof generated an ash plume up to 15,000 feet. The cloud drifted more than 150 miles to the southeast.

The ash emissions prompted an aviation warning. Observatory geophysicist Dave Schneider said that level of emissions would affect mostly smaller aircraft. Ash above 20,000 feet A black ash cloud from Alaska’s Mount Veniaminof passes the could threaten jet airplanes.

About a month ago, Perryville was dusted by drifting ash. When people saw Wednesday’s distant ash cloud from the volcano, they were “a little alarmed,” said Gerald Kosbruk, president of community’s the tribal government.

“This is the most ash I’ve seen come out of it,” he said.

People also heard rumbling noises coming from the volcano overnight, he said.

Authorities say hunt for missing, dead in California fire could take months

By JANIE HAR and KATHLEEN RONAYNE Associated Press

CHICO, Calif. — Given the size and scope of the devastation after a deadly wildfire swept Northern California, experts say the search to find the missing and identify victims could take months.

The Camp Fire that began two weeks ago has scorched an area roughly the size of Chicago, burned down more than 13,000 homes and killed at least 81 people, with the number increasing daily. Hundreds of people are unaccounted for — a list that’s constantly changing and has spread confusion about the ultimate number of victims.

Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea has released a daily list of names of people who are unaccounted for, saying he doesn’t expect it to be an accurate tally of the missing. He calls it a liberal roster of “raw data” intended to prompt people — some who may not know they have been reported missing — to call in and say they’re safe.

The list has jumped from about 600 to 1,000 names before hitting a high of nearly 1,300 this past weekend. It stands at 870 names Wednesday as deputies find people and people call in to say they were OK. Names are continually being removed and added.

viewed the newest list and has found names of people reported as alive by family on social media. There are at least a dozen names marked as “unknown,” including a “cousin” and several with no last names. The list contains several entries that may be duplicates with different spellings.

Names are compiled from emails, phone calls and emergency dispatch reports, Honea said. The number of names ramped up in part because dep-

uties went back to calls from the early hours of the disaster, when people were calling frantically for help finding friends and family.

It is not clear at what point sheriff’s officials remove a name because a person is presumed dead. Evacuee Christina Taft said her mother’s name is no longer on the roster, but she has not received official confirmation that Victoria Taft is dead.

Honea said the number of names rose Tuesday night after

workers went through a backlog of voicemails.

Honea has declined to speculate on the eventual scope of deaths, preferring to instead release nightly updates on the death toll based on remains that have been recovered.

The Butte County sheriff’s office is leading the effort, with assistance from search and recovery teams, cadaver detection and coroners’ units from other counties, California, other states and the U.S. government.

Dunleavy elected governor and Republicans maintaining control of the Senate.

The last time the GOP held the governor’s office and both chambers was 2014.

House Republicans, who have been in the minority the past two years, rushed to claim control after the election, a move that assumed a win by LeBon, who held a larger lead on election night.

Republicans said they had 21 members, including LeBon, the bare minimum for a majority of

the 40-member House. Not included in that tally were Republican Reps. Gabrielle LeDoux and Louise Stutes, both of whom won their races.

LeDoux and Stutes were among three Republicans who joined with Democrats and two independents to form a coalition after the 2016 elections. They were branded as “turncoats” by the former chairman of the state Republican party for doing so.

The third Republican, Rep. Paul Seaton, changed his party

affiliation to nonpartisan in seeking re-election. He lost to a Republican.

One of the coalition independents, Rep. Jason Grenn, also lost his re-election bid this month to a Republican.

The current House speaker, Democrat Bryce Edgmon, had said the Republican rush to claim control was premature. Edgmon won a primary in 2006 on a coin toss, after that race ended in a tie.

He was elected to his first term later that year.

made respecting an establishment of religion.”

“The Resolution is inclusive of tax-exempt religious associations serving residents of the borough,” Peterson wrote. “It is not inclusive of every religious view or belief practiced by the residents of the Kenai Peninsula.”

Kieth Hamilton of Alaska Christian College gave an invocation at the beginning of Tuesday’s meeting. During public testimony, he urged the assembly to appeal the Superior Court’s decision regarding the borough’s current invocation policy.

“This isn’t an agenda item to check off the list or a politicalcharged speech given during a meeting, but rather a solemn time to remember our Lord’s call for us to pray for our nation,” Hamilton said.

He read from the Old Testament, 2 Chronicle 7:14, which says, “People, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and trim of their wicked ways, and I will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land.”

“I want our land to be healed, and I want peace and prosperity on our peninsula specifically,” Hamilton told the assembly. “I believe each of you has been appointed to the solemn task of governing us as you’re elected to this office. These invocations bring us all to a place of dependence, not just on ourselves, but to God who created us and gives us wisdom beyond ourselves to govern.”

Greg Andersen from Kenai spoke in opposition to appealing the court’s decision.

“Countless hours have been wasted on this,” Andersen said. “The borough will be receiving the bill from the ACLU in the next two weeks for their lawyer fees. That dollar amount is an unknown, but I’m sure it will be a considerable amount that the bor-

ough will have to pay. Think of all the services that those funds could have paid for? I work very hard in order to pay my property taxes. Gambling on the unknown with these tax dollars is unacceptable. These tax dollars need to be spent on services for the borough. It is time to move on.”

Shawn Rice of Kenai said pursuing an appeal would waste taxpayer money and time.

“The waste of time and money at the point is shameful,” Rice said. “Those of you who have voted to keep this process going, you have had at least probably six or eight opportunities to end this, to end the discrimination, to end the bigotry based on ancient texts. Whether it’s my opinion or your opinion as to what the reality of our existence here is, is irrelevant. This is a government facility; this is tax dollars.”

Some members of the public felt they weren’t being heard by the assembly. Amanda Bird from Kenai said she wanted her comments on the record either way.

“I’ll be brief because I’ve come to enough of these to realize public opinion doesn’t appear to factor into the decisions that you all make,” Bird said.

“I just would like it to be on record that as a citizen of this borough, I am appalled by the voting record on this item and I wanted to come up and let you all know it’s a mistake to appeal this.”

Assembly member Kelly Cooper reassured the crowd that public opinion does matter.

“I do hear you,” Cooper said.

“We are tasked with governing and making the best decision for the majority. One of the things about this body is that we bring our own personal beliefs and our own personal experiences to this, but that shouldn’t be how you vote. That’s just part of your guidance in making that decision.”

When it came time for assembly comment, Blakely said he’s heard several comments from citizens outside of Tuesday’s meeting who support the

appeal.

“I would say a lot of the people I am associated with, and who I talk to, would like this appealed, “ Blakely said.

“Everyone that is here and has made their concerns known, I would like you to know there are other people in the world.

I’m sure you understand that.

Those people would see this go in a different direction.”

Assembly member Willy Dunne opposed an appeal, saying he didn’t like wasting or gambling with taxpayer dollars.

The assembly narrowly voted, 5-4 to not appeal the court’s decision. Assembly members Paul Fischer, Brent Hibbert, Dale Bagley, and Norm Blakely voted to advance to the appeals process.

Next on the agenda was an amendment of the current invocation policy that would “broaden the scope of eligible invocation providers to better reflect the diversity of beliefs in the borough,” the resolution stated.

Many members of the public supported the amendment, but offered suggestions on how to enhance it, such as giving invocation speakers time limits, barring those who don’t show up for their scheduled slot from giving an invocation for a year, limiting the ability to provide invocations

to once per year, per provider and to have no commercial message of any kind. None of the suggestions were added to the amendment.

Peggy Peterson of Sterling said she was concerned invocation providers wouldn’t show up to assembly meetings and suggested no-shows be taken off the list of eligible invocation providers for a year.

“Many times this last year a person was scheduled to give an invocation, but didn’t show up,” Peterson said. “So Mr. Ogle gave it instead. This meant that others on the list were denied the opportunity.

As this new resolution is written, the same thing could happen unless there’s some kind of provision to stop it.”

Rice spoke in support of the new amendments, saying the new policy was less discriminatory.

“If you’re trying to maintain the moral high road, then not excluding people is essentially your wheelhouse, so I don’t know how it wound up here in this form,” Rice said of the former policy. “What’s before you now is inclusive. Anybody can do it. And guess what? Every now and then you’re going to hear something you don’t agree with in these chambers.

to hear an atheist and you’re just going to have to deal with it.”

Bagley responded to Rice and said if you were a Muslim or a Jewish person that you could offer invocation in the previous policy, but that the individual had to be a part of a group, present on the peninsula.

Rice responded by asking Bagley where the local groups for Islam and Judaism were.

“They don’t exist, which means those people are excluded,” Rice said. “Now those people can speak in a non-invocation moment, but as far as being allowed or selected to present an invocation, those people were discriminated against because those groups don’t exist here.”

Fischer asked Rice if he thought the person giving invocation had to be a resident of the borough. The policy includes a residency requirement.

Rice said that being a resident was a fair guideline.

“So you discriminate that way,” Fischer said. “How about age? Can someone who’s 16 sign up?”

“To say I’m discriminating against people outside of the

borough isn’t to say that I’m discriminating against religion,” Rice said to Fischer. “In reality, fine. If someone from Talkeetna wants to come give the invocation here, open it to that.”

Several members of the public said they would prefer a moment of silence.

“I believe the new policy is a step in the right direction, but in my reading, there are at least 12 portions (of the amendment) that I see as sketchy or open to interpretation,” Daniel Lynch of Soldotna said. “A moment of silence gives us all a chance and we’re all involved.

I got two minutes left and I’m going to take a moment of silence right now just so we can get used to it.”

Thirty seconds later, Lynch ended the silence saying the moment “didn’t hurt anybody.”

The new amendment passed with 7 in support and 2 in opposition. Both Fischer and Blakey voted against the policy amendment.

The borough has one meeting left before 2019. Starting next year, the assembly will begin taking volunteers to provide meeting invocations.

What Others Say

Legalized marijuana isn’t the boon it seems The world finally has an answer to the question: “Does legalized marijuana pay its own way?”

Answer: Not even close.

The Centennial Institute at the acclaimed Colorado Christian University released a study this week that gives the public real answers regarding the costs of the world’s biggest pot bonanza.

The institute commissioned the Greenwood Village firm Quantitative Research and Evaluation Measurement (QREM), which reached conclusions with data provided

by The Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the Colorado Department of Revenue, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and a variety of other agencies.

“For every dollar gained in tax revenue, Coloradans spent approximately $4.50 to mitigate the effects of legalization,” finds the study, mostly ignored by Colorado media.

Furthermore, “the costs associated with commercial marijuana are only going to go up as the long-term health consequences have not been fully determined. Like tobacco, commercial marijuana is likely to have health consequences that we won’t be able to determine for decades.”

Researchers concluded Colorado should get serious about reducing increasing death rates associated with THC-related car crashes and suicides.

The study details, with numbers and citations, problems anyone can see. The state reports marijuana generated $223.3 million last year in taxes and fees, and this purportedly helps education. Yet, all the public hears are stories about underfunded schools with diminishing revenues. Rural schools are going to four-day weeks, teaching children in crumbling buildings.

We hear endless complaints from law enforcers about increasing THC-related car crashes. Educators tell of rampant marijuana problems among Colorado’s youth, which the pot industry and its paid-for politicians counter with biased study results.

Other highlights of the Centennial/QREM study include: • Costs related to the health care system and from high school drop-outs are the largest cost contributors • Marijuana use remains more prevalent in the population with less education • Research shows a connection between marijuana use and the use of alcohol and other substances • Calls to Poison Control related to marijuana increased dramatically since legalization of medical marijuana and legalization of recreational marijuana • About 15 people are severely burned as a result of marijuana use per year • People who use marijuana more frequently tend to be less physically active, and a sedentary or inactive lifestyle is associated with increased medical costs • Adult marijuana users generally have lower educational attainment than non-users • Research suggests long-term marijuana use leads to reduced cognitive ability, particularly in people who begin using it before they turn 18 • Yearly cost estimates for marijuana users: $2,200 for heavy users, $1,250 for moderate users, $650 for light users • 69 percent of marijuana users say they have driven under the influence of marijuana at least once, and 27 percent admit to driving under the influence on a daily basis • The estimated costs of DUIs for people who tested positive for marijuana in 2016 alone approaches $25 million • The marijuana industry used enough electricity to power 32,355 homes in 2016 • In 2016, the marijuana industry was responsible for approximately 393,053 pounds of CO2 emissions in 2016 • Marijuana packaging yielded over 18.78 million pieces of plastic Governor-elect Jared Polis and members of the 2019 Legislature should examine this study. They cannot ban marijuana use and sales, which are protected in the Colorado Constitution. They can and should craft policies to reduce the social and economic costs of this industry, and increase the benefits voters hoped for when they enacted Amendment 64.

Trump should fear Uncle Joe

Joe Biden is a gaffe-prone 75-year-old Washington veteran — who is exactly what Democrats need.

The suburbs have turned against Republicans, but Donald Trump’s working-class base is still with him in a geographic and demographic stand-off that will — absent a game-changer — define the 2020 election.

The play for Democrats should be obvious: Make a serious appeal to Trump’s voters, take back the Blue Wall states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and win the presidency. In other words, go with Joe Biden or someone like him with a Midwestern or working-class sensibility (newly re-elected Sens. Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota come to mind).

Biden still talks of himself as a scrappy kid from Scranton, even though he became a U.S. senator soon after Beto O’Rourke was born. No one calls him “Middle Class Joe,” as he likes to refer to himself. Yet, he has roots in the Democratic Party of yore that had a solid base among working-class whites. His gruff manner, Catholic faith, Irish ethnic background, union-friendly politics and upbringing in Delaware via Pennsylvania make him as close as the contemporary national Democratic Party gets to a working-class match for the Great Lakes states that Trump stole from it in 2016.

From this juncture, those states again look absolutely crucial. If the rest of the electoral map stays the same, Democrats

need to win all three of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to take back the White House. Even if they pick off 2016 red states Arizona and Georgia, they still need Michigan or Pennsylvania to Rich Lowry get over 270.

Conversely, it’s hard to see where Trump goes and wins new territory to make up for the loss of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Trump didn’t win those three states by much, by about 80,000 votes collectively.

More than anything, he depended on running against a Democratic candidate who was unacceptable to working-class whites.

Right now, it looks like he needs a repeat performance by the Democrats, and he may well get one. This is the great advantage of Uncle Joe. No matter how pompous and self-parodic he can be, he would almost certainly be impossible to render hateful or threatening to the working-class voters who sensed the Clinton campaign’s disdain for them.

The problem for Biden is getting from here to there. He didn’t cover himself in glory in his prior two runs (the first one 30 years ago).

The Democrats don’t usually do old and familiar, at least not when they win. The last three Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama,

were fresh-faced newcomers on the national scene.

And then, there are the party’s new obsessions. Class has been trumped by race and gender, and as a white male Biden is 0-2. Inequality is now less of a motivator than intersectionality, economic privilege less of a concern than white privilege.

This was a stumbling block for the classobsessed Bernie Sanders last time, and would surely hamper Biden and Sherrod Brown in today’s even more fevered context.

The Democrats are not set up to go with, in the derisive phrase, stale, pale and male. Perhaps they can find another Barack Obama-type candidate who lights up the base while having just enough draw for working-class whites. There is also more than one way to win back the Blue Wall — higher black turnout could make the difference.

But there’s a good chance that Democrats will get consumed by the hot-house dynamic of their nominating process, and select someone who, like those defeated progressive darlings of the midterms — Beto O’Rourke, Stacey Abrams, and Andrew Gillum — is better suited to going down in a blaze of glory rather than winning over an increment of Trump voters.

If so, Joe Biden will be one of the few people in American history who could have won two straight presidential elections — in theory.

As number of GOP women in Congress dips, Republican party seeks answers

By ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — For congressional Republicans, this month’s elections ushered in the year of the woman — literally.

West Virginia’s Carol Miller will be the only Republican woman entering the 435-member House as a newcomer in January. She’ll join what may be the chamber’s smallest group of female GOP lawmakers since the early 1990s — as few as 13 of at least 199 Republicans. Democrats will have at least 89.

Numbers like those have Republicans searching for answers to the glaring gender disparity in their ranks — and fast. The concern is that Democrats’ lopsided edge among women voters could carry over to 2020, when President Donald Trump will be seeking a second term and House and Senate control will be in play. If the current trend continues, Republicans risk being branded the party of men.

“You will see a very significant recruiting effort occur” for women candidates, said David Winston, a pollster who advises GOP congressional leaders. “It’s a natural conclusion. An environment has got to be created where that can be a success.”

Evidence of the GOP gender gap was just as clear in the 100-member Senate, where Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn will be the only Republican freshman. If Mississippi Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith wins a runoff later this month there will be recordsetting seven GOP women in the Republican-run Senate. But even that record is less than half the class of 17 Democratic women, which includes two freshmen.

The search for answers leads to some — The (Colorado Springs) Gazette, Nov. 20

familiar places. President Donald Trump’s fraught history with women, combined with the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment, helped motivate Democratic women to seek office but did not appear to have the same effect with GOP women, politicians and analysts say. More broadly, the president’s brash style doesn’t sit well many women voters or potential candidates.

“Women don’t like the tweets,” said Sarah Chamberlain, president of the Republican Main Street Partnership, a moderate GOP group. “I don’t know how to tone down the rhetoric. If I could have a fantasy, one wish, that would be my one wish.”

Women backed Democratic candidates over Republicans on Election Day by a telling 57 percent to 41 percent, according to AP VoteCast, a wide-ranging survey of the electorate conducted by The Associated Press. Women broke by similar margins in the crucial suburbs, where Democratic victories in swing districts helped power the gains they needed to win House control.

Men supported Republicans over Democrats, 51 percent to 46 percent.

Strategists note the issue isn’t just about current personalities; it’s about party infrastructure.

“We as a party have to make recruiting women candidates who can win a high priority,” said Andrea Bozek, spokeswoman for Winning for Women, a fledging GOP group that tries bolstering female Republican candidates. She added, “Unless people in leadership really make it a priority, I don’t think it will happen.”

A record number of women ran for the House as major-party candidates this year.

But Democrats outnumbered Republicans by nearly 3 to 1, according to AP data, and

Democratic women were more likely to win their primaries.

Of those contenders who ran in November, 183 were Democrats, the most ever, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

Fifty-two were Republicans, a near-record but a fraction of female Democrats running.

That partisan imbalance was aggravated

by Democrats’ superior campaign infrastructure for helping women candidates.

Winning for Women, created in early 2017, says it spent more than $1 million helping women candidates for the recent election. That and other GOP groups assisting women candidates couldn’t match Democrats’ 33-year-old Emily’s List, a well-financed organization that poured tens of millions into primaries and general elections and provided recruiting, training and other services to female candidates.

“Democrats have been doing a much better job of getting women elected,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics.

Asked to explain her success against other female candidates’ defeats, West Virginia’s Miller sent an email lauding Trump and other Republicans and GOP women’s groups and saying “liberal special interests” had spent heavily to defeat Republican women. Officials at the White House and the GOP did not provide answers to requests for comment.

Republicans have displayed a sensitivity this year to their overwhelmingly male numbers. That includes hiring a female prosecutor to question Kavanaugh’s chief accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, when she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee and its all-male Republicans.

Nation/World Isolated tribesmen kill American on remote Indian island

By ASHOK SHARMA Associated Press

NEW DELHI — An American adventurer who kayaked to a remote Indian island populated by a tribe known for shooting at outsiders with bows and arrows has been killed, police said Wednesday. Officials said they were working with anthropologists to recover the body.

Dependera Pathak, directorgeneral of police on India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands, said seven fishermen have been arrested for helping the American reach North Sentinel Island.

The Sentinelese people are resistant to outsiders and often attack anyone who comes near, and visits to the island are heavily restricted by the government.

Pathak identified the American as John Allen Chau and said he told a hotel he was 26 years old. Chau was apparently shot and killed by arrows, but the cause of death can’t be confirmed until his body is recovered, Pathak told The Associated Press.

“It was a case of misdirected adventure,” Pathak said.

Chau arrived in the area on Oct. 16 and stayed in a hotel while he prepared to travel to the island. It was not his first time in the region: he had visited the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in 2015 and 2016, Pathak said.

North Sentinel is in the Andaman Islands at the intersection of the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea.

Chau organized his visit to the island through a friend who hired seven fishermen for $325 to take him there on a boat, which also towed his kayak, Pathak said.

The American went ashore in his kayak on Nov. 15 and sent the boat with the fishermen out to sea to avoid detection, Pathak said. He interacted with some of the tribespeople, offering gifts such as a football and fish. But the tribespeople became angry and shot an arrow at him, hitting a book he was carrying, Pathak said.

After his kayak was damaged, Chau swam back to the fishermen’s boat, which was waiting at a prearranged location. He spent the night writing about his experiences on pages that he then gave the fishermen, Pathak said. He set out again to meet the tribespeople on Nov. 16.

What happened then isn’t known. But on the morning of the following day, the waiting fishermen watched from a distance as the tribesmen dragged Chau’s body. They left for Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where they broke the news to Chau’s friend, who in turn notified his family, Pathak said.

Police charged the seven fishermen with endangering the life of the American by taking him to a prohibited area.

Chau had lived in Oklahoma, where he attended Oral Roberts University, and in southwestern Washington state, where he

attended Vancouver Christian High School. Phone messages left with some of his relatives were not immediately returned Wednesday.

Kathleen Hosie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Consulate in Chennai, the capital of India’s southern Tamil Nadu state, said she was aware of reports concerning an American in the islands but could not comment further due to privacy considerations.

Survival International, an organization that works for the rights of tribal people, said the killing of the American should prompt Indian authorities to properly protect the lands of the Sentinelese and other Andaman tribes.

“The British colonial occupation of the Andaman Islands decimated the tribes living there, wiping out thousands of tribespeople, and only a fraction of the original population now survives. So the Sentinelese fear of outsiders is very understandable,” Stephen Corry, the group’s director, said in a statement.

Shiv Viswanathan, a social scientist and a professor at Jindal Global Law School, said North Sentinel Island was a protected area and not open to tourists. “The exact population of the tribe is not known, but it is declining. The government has to protect them,” Viswanathan said.

Trump’s embrace of Saudi Arabia causes GOP rift

By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s embrace of Saudi Arabia has exposed a foreign policy rift in the Republican Party, as some of his GOP colleagues warn that not punishing the kingdom for its role in killing a U.S.-based columnist will have dangerous consequences.

Many Republicans — even Sens. Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul, who share their views on the matter with the president — have denounced Trump’s decision not to levy harsher penalties on Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the death and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

Sen. Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the influential Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Wednesday he was “astounded” by Trump’s statement and likened it to a press release for Saudi Arabia.

“It is a delicate situation when we have a long-term ally that we’ve had for decades, but we have a crown prince that I believe ordered the killing of a journalist,” Corker told Chattanooga TV station WTVC in his home state of Tennessee. “We don’t have a smoking gun. Everything points to the fact that he knew about it and directed it.”

decision, saying the U.S. has already placed sanctions on 17 Saudi officials suspected of involvement in the Oct. 2 killing of The Washington Post columnist, who had been critical of the royal family.

“We’ve sanctioned 17 people — some of them very senior in the Saudi government,” Pompeo said Wednesday in a radio interview with KCMO in Kansas City, Missouri. “We are going to make sure that America always stands for human rights.”

Graham, R-S.C., isn’t convinced. “When we lose our moral voice, we lose our strongest asset,” he said.

Members of both parties have accused Trump of ignor-

ing U.S. intelligence that concluded, according to one U.S. official, that it was likely the crown prince ordered the killing. Several lawmakers have indicated that the U.S. has no “smoking gun” that proves he was responsible, but they have called on the CIA and other top intelligence agencies to publicly share what they told the president about the slaying.

In his statement Tuesday, Trump argued that punishing Saudi Arabia by “foolishly canceling” Saudi arms deals worth billions of dollars to the U.S. would only benefit Russia and China. Critics, including high-ranking officials in other countries, accused Trump of ignoring human rights and

giving Saudi Arabia a pass for economic reasons.

It’s “America First,” Trump said.

That unleashed a tweet Wednesday from Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii who wrote: “Being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not ‘America First.’”

Trump also said the U.S. needs Saudi Arabia’s help to counter Iran in the region, fight extremism and keep oil prices steady. The U.S., Russia and the Saudis have boosted oil production in anticipation of sharply lower exports from Iran due to U.S. sanctions reinstated after Trump exited the Iran nuclear deal.

Trump publicly thanked Saudi Arabia on Wednesday for plunging oil prices. However, OPEC, the cartel of oilproducing countries, could announce production cuts at its Dec. 6 meeting in Vienna, nudging prices upward.

“Thank you to Saudi Arabia, but let’s go lower!” he wrote from his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, where he’s spending Thanksgiving.

Guatemalan ex-soldier gets 5,130 years for 1982 massacre GUATEMALA CITY — A Guatemalan court has sentenced an ex-soldier deported from the United States to 5,130 years for the 1982 massacre of 171 villagers.

The maximum anyone can be forced to serve in Guatemala is 50 years.

Santos Lopez Alonzo is accused of belonging to an elite squad known as the “Kaibiles,” which carried out the killings on Dec. 7, 1982, in the northern town of Dos Erres.

The court declared the 66-year-old Lopez Alonso guilty of murder and crimes against humanity Wednesday. He also kidnapped and adopted a 5-year-old boy whose family was murdered.

According to a U.N. truth commission, about 200,000 people were killed and another 45,000 disappeared during Guatemala’s 1960-1996 civil war. Most were killed by the army, though some were killed by leftist guerrillas.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Wednesday he will put the question of creating a national guard to a referendum conducted by the National Flectoral Institute.

The proposal aimed at confronting the country’s violence would require a constitutional reform, meaning that it would need congressional approval and a green light from state legislatures.

“We’re going to do both things,” Lopez Obrador said, referring to the referendum and constitutional reform.

The president-elect made the announcement to radio journalist Carmen Aristegui during a wide-ranging interview 10 days before he takes office.

A day prior, a coalition of civil society groups and intellectuals signed a letter rejecting the idea of a national guard under command of the military.

Mexico has faced international criticism for leaning heavily on the army and navy to wage the drug war. Numerous human rights violations have been blamed on the military for actions conducted in the name of security.

Lopez Obrador has been among those calling for demilitarization, but said he had not fully realized how hopelessly corrupt civilian law enforcement agencies were.

He also defended the armed forces, saying that the military’s infamous human rights violations were “on the orders received from civilian authorities” and that its leaders had good backgrounds.

Lopez Obrador said he had looked at nearly three dozen active generals and found that some were the sons of farmworkers and mechanics. “The chiefs of the armed forces are not part of the oligarchy,” he said.

The populist said he decided to create a national guard because he didn’t see relying on the police alone as an option.

A national guard would include military police and some federal police.

A separate referendum is already scheduled for this weekend. That one will be conducted by a private foundation and will include questions on a number of Lopez Obrador’s proposals.

One of those is related to a proposed train line on the Yucatan Peninsula. Scientists and other academics have expressed environmental fears and called for Lopez Obrador to not take the train question to the public.

But Lopez Obrador has dismissed their concerns, saying they were uninformed.

“Some probably haven’t even been to the southeast,” he said.

He said half the train would travel on existing rail lines and follow highways or rights of way for electrical transmission lines. He said not a single tree would be felled for the so-called “Mayan train.”

Another referendum last month resulted in the cancellation of Mexico City’s $13 billion airport project.

“The country has already changed; the citizens count too now, those on the bottom, not just the elites anymore,” Lopez Obrador said.

Police reports

Now that we’ve seen Big 12 football break out in the NFL — Rams 54, Chiefs 51 — can we get a college hoops score out of the Saints?

The Who-Dats will be rocking the Superdome on Thanksgiving night, with New Orleans facing its archrival, the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints are running away with the NFC South and the Falcons have faltered badly, but this is almost always a tense, close affair.

Except that the Saints have manhandled opponents this season, outscoring them 378-239 as Drew Brees, well, breezes through the best year of his superb career.

“Just focus on winning,” Brees says. “And if it takes 20 points to do that or if it takes 50 points to do that, you just focus on winning and everything else takes care of itself. But we’re just trying to stay in the moment right now.”

Coach Dan Quinn says the Falcons can win a high-scoring game against the Saints, who won at Atlanta 43-37 in September.

“We are. We’re equipped,” Quinn

Jackson tries to help Bengals beat former team

By JOE KAY AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI — Bengals coach Marvin Lewis shut down the question immediately, making it clear he won’t be talking about the latest addition to his staff — one who’s in an unusual position to influence the next game.

Only last month, Hue Jackson was Cleveland’s head coach, intimately involved in the Browns’ game planning.

Now he’s on the Bengals sideline with Lewis, trying to beat the Browns — a sensitive subject that the head coach is trying to put off limits.

“I think I’ve answered enough Hue questions, OK?” Lewis said

Wednesday with an edge to his tone. “We’re done. We’re over.”

Oh, no. The intrigue is just getting started.

The Bengals (5-5) desperately need to beat the Browns (3-6-1) at Paul Brown Stadium to remain relevant in the playoff chase. They’ve lost four of five , fired their defensive coordinator and installed Lewis as

leader of a historically bad unit.

As part of the shuffle, he brought back a close friend at an opportune time.

Jackson was fired by the Browns on Oct. 29 after winning only three games in three seasons. Lewis brought him back to Cincinnati for the third time , creating a role of special assistant. Jackson helps devel-

op the weekly game plan on defense and provides tips on the sideline during games.

His input will be especially useful this week. Jackson knows the Browns’ tendencies and the players’ strengths and weaknesses.

“That was very unique,” defensive end Carlos Dunlap said.

“He knows the players, he knows

the staff. They just got a new (offensive coordinator), so they’re probably calling things differently than when (Jackson) left. So you have your advantages there.”

It’s not unusual for a team to pick up a player who was released by an upcoming opponent, but it’s highly unusual to get the other team’s former head coach.

None around.

Rakes have put yards in shape.

Windier now. Blasts — holy cow!

Dark, then darker days.

Light times run so few.

But there’s nothing we can do!

Colder and freezing it will get.

Time for quilts, fireplaces and hot chocolate.

Not your average art piece

By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News

The Homer Fiber Arts Collective and Bunnell Street Arts Center powered up its time machine last Saturday for the 2018 Wearable Arts show.

Titled “Time Traveling,” the annual exhibit of couture, fashion, handcrafted art and just plain silliness added a new twist this year. Along with recent works — many done through Artist in Residence Keren Lowell’s workshops this fall — the show included fiber art created in and reflecting the style of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, along with some some playful anachronisms. Kari Multz, one of the artistic producers, came up with the Time Traveling idea.

Helping her produce the show were Lynne Burt, Marie Walker and AnnMargret Wimmerstedt.

Held at Land’s End Resort, show organizers set up the traveling concept with ushers in jumpsuits and holding light wands. Looking like Leonardo DiCaprio faking an airline pilot in “Catch Me As You Can,” “Captain” Michael Walsh walked around with a cocktail glass that he insisted only had water. Wearing a snappy pillbox hat and 1960s-style uniform, flight attendant Asia Freeman, Bunnell’s artistic director, served guests seated in special first class front rows.

The retrospective part of Wearable Arts offered a look back at some of the talent that Christine Kulcheski wears a 2000s-era jacket and hat by Ahna Iredale and Barb Meyers at started the show. Burt helped the 2018 Wearable Arts on Saturday, Nov. 17 in Homer, Alaska. (Photo by Michael Armstrong/ See ARTS, page B2 Homer News)

‘Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey’ — a helpful primer on giving thanks The Bookwork Sez A great big bear.

That’s what you’ve sounded like all week: a growl here, a snort there, grump, grump, snarl. Everything that could go wrong did — spectacularly. But what went right? Hmm. Grab a mug, take a seat, and turn your frown around with “Thanks a Thousand” by A.J. Jacobs.

Ever have one of those days where everything goes off-kilter?

Yep, A.J. Jacobs has them, just like the rest of us. And like most of us, he’s “ridiculously lucky” overall, something he recognizes even when “daily irritations hijack my brain.”

Sadly, that happens about half the time he’s awake.

He tries to be cognizant of his grumpiness; in fact, while making a point about gratitude to one of his sons, Jacobs began to think. Maybe we treat gratitude too superficially. He decided to take thankfulness to the next level by thanking every person who had a role in bringing him his daily cup of coffee.

He started easy, with the coffeehouse barista whose bubbly personality reminded him to “affirm and recognize” everyone who serves him. Then he visited the coffeehouse’s coffee buyer, who taught Jacobs to slow down because “it’s hard to be grateful if we’re speeding.”

He thanked the designer of the cup lid, the designer of a coffeehouse logo, and the people who developed the cup sleeve. At this point, with no end in sight — how far back, how deep should he go here?

— Jacobs switched his goal.

Rather than making his project “a lifetime job,” he’d thank a thousand people for his coffee.

That included roasters, who ready the beans for sale. It included a trip to the Catskills, to thank those who bring water to New York City homes. Jacobs thanked the people who make coffee safe to drink, the folks who warehouse the beans, truckers who transport it, pallet-makers, scientists, and the Colombian farmers who own coffee bean trees passed down for generations, and who invited Jacobs to visit them again.

“I won’t take them up on the invitation,” he says, “but I’m grateful to have it.”

One thing goes wrong in the course of your day, and it’s like falling into the mud on the banks of a rapid river: whoosh, and everything goes downstream. “Thanks a Thousand” reminds you that there are a million reasons not to let it go.

But don’t think this is a selfhelp book filled with sunny platitudes; quite the contrary, author A.J. Jacobs actually dissects gratitude with the help of science and research. Yes, as it turns out, being thankful is good for us and offers benefits

that you may not realize. Add to that an appealingly puppyish sense of purpose in finding people to thank, and you’ve got a book that educates, informs, and charms the socks off you.

If “Thank you” is perfunctory, you need this book. If it’s an impossible-to-say phrase

in your world, you really need this book. For anyone who’s grateful, appreciative, and in a thanksgiving mood, “Thanks a Thousand” is a book to bear in mind.

‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs’ — gorgeous, nearly unwatchable masterpiece R eeling It In C hris J enness

If I really stop to think about it, Joel and Ethan Coen are probably my favorite all around filmmakers because I’ve never seen a movie by them that didn’t make me sit up straight and pay attention.

Even when I didn’t like the end result, I could never say that the movie itself wasn’t fascinating or that it had nothing to offer. Probably my biggest disappointment from the brothers was “Burn After Reading,” because I felt like they never could master the tone they were going for. But even that film in-

cludes really interesting performances from George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

All this is to say that I was really looking forward to the release of “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” the latest from the brothers, who were returning to the Western genre for the first time since “True Grit.”

Often Coen Brothers movies are smaller, more indie-style films and we don’t always get them in theaters here. But, like nearly every other artist out there, the Coens have made a deal with Netflix and “Scruggs,” though released in a handful of actual theaters, made its debut on the small screen.

Though I was able to watch the movie immediately, I kind of hate that. I’m afraid this film See REEL, page B2

start Wearable Arts about 35 years ago when it was called Steppin’ Out. Burt said she Continued from page B1 was pleased to see work by longtime artists like Nancy Wise, Kiki Abrahamson, Linda Skelton, Kathy Smith, Judy Little and others.

“When you see those pieces come back, we forgot how awesome some of that stuff is,” Burt said.

Along with the retrospective works, Wearable Arts featured more than 50 new pieces. The Homer Fiber Arts Collective sewers, knitters and crafters focus on well-made works that can be worn as everyday wear or for special occasions. Some entries use the human body as platform for imaginative sculptures, like Lucas Thoning’s “Anthronetic Technlogy” that included an iPad or Julie Tomich’s “Space Fish” with wire, copper, bull kelp and LED lights.

Art on exhibit at Bunnell for Lowell’s residency also was modeled. Playing with the idea that time occasionally got warped, some of Lowell’s works became costumes for skits.

“Rough Beast,” described as “a spectre of dread” is made of fur, hair and bone, and was part of a prehistoric scene that also included Carla Cope’s “Mammoth’s Night Out” and Christine Kulcheski’s “Coyote Huntress.”

Two other Lowell works, “Ozymandias,” a plaster of paris armor plate, and “Worry Coat,” a tunic with found objects, were worn by Craig Phillips and Adele Person playing lost Roman citizens.

“Where are their slaves?” Phillips asked.

“These people are slaves, and their masters are called ‘smart phones,’” Person replied.

. . . Reel

will disappear and be considered a lesser effort due to the fact that it was released Continued from page B1 on television. That would be a shame, because “Buster Scruggs” has a lot to offer. The big question is, however — did I like it?

No. In fact, I hated it, while conversely loving nearly every scene. Only a brilliant film could inspire such antagonistic and contradictory feelings.

If you hadn’t read about it already, “Buster Scruggs” is an anthology film — basically six unrelated short stories bound together in one film. From the first scene, this film felt like it was tailor-made for me. The movie opens on an old leather-bound book, and the camera spends time examining each turned page — giving the viewer time to appreciate the beautiful, simple design of the volume.

The invisible reader turns and lingers on a color plate (basically a full-color illustration — there’s one for each story), moving on to a title and the story’s first paragraph before dissolving into the segment itself.

This is kind of a niche interest, I know, but as an artist I’ve always been fascinated with the concept of illustration divorced from context. I even did a couple of shows where my paintings had titles that essentially served as captions, as though the picture were just one snapshot of a larger story.

That’s basically how each segment of “Scruggs” opens and I loved it. I could watch that all day.Unfortunately, you also have to sit through the stories, and I’m not sure I can do that again.

Don’t get me wrong. Everything about this film is top-notch.

The acting and writing are impeccable, the editing and direction is expertly done, and the production design and cinematography is amazing.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this may well be the Brothers’ most gorgeous film. Every shot is perfect, every color intentional and beautiful. There is so much about this movie that I love. But watching it, I wished the Coens loved their audience as much we do them. Or at least loved their characters.

“Buster Scruggs” is, at times, the most depressing, bleakest, and most pessimistic film I’ve ever seen. It may top even “No Country for Old Men.” At least in that movie, you strapped in for the ride. Here, you have to reset six times, each time hoping against hope that it’ll be better, but it almost never is.

I don’t want to go into each story in detail — they’re short enough that it’d be hard to say much without spoiling them.

Think of them almost like mini-episodes of “The Twilight Zone,” except set in the Old West. The first in the lot is the title story, “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.”

Right from the beginning, the Brothers fool you into thinking you’re going to watch something along the lines of “O Brother Where Art Thou,” as a Gene Autry-style cowboy comes singing his way out of the badlands.

“But remember,” they seem to be saying, “The West was rough and cowboys carried guns for a reason.”

This first segment feels like a cartoon come to life, in a way — brilliant, but hard to watch.

Next is the James Franco-starring short “Near Algodones,” in which an erstwhile bank robber discovers that Stephen Root’s teller character isn’t going to be a pushover.

Next is “Meal Ticket” starring Liam Neeson. This is the segment where the brothers really settle into their style. The first two segments are charming if difficult — but this was the one where I thought I might just have to turn it off.

This also has a surprise, and surprisingly moving, performance from one Harry Melling, whom you may remember as Dudley Dursley from the Harry Potter series.

There are three tales after that, but I can’t bear to say much about them, because I don’t want to spoil the experience.

I very nearly quit on this film twice, and were it not so amazingly made I would have.

This may be the only time I’ve ever seen a film that I wanted to start over from the beginning in the vain hope that it would be different this time around.

I can’t think of a thing wrong with this film, and yet there’s so many things I would change. I have no doubt my version would be the lesser of the two, but at least I wouldn’t feel punched in the gut.

Grade: Technical — A+, Enjoyability — C- (This would be lower, but while the Brothers are setting you up on the chopping block, they do show you some legitimately fun moments.

Unfortunately, they don’t last.)

“The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” is rated R for extreme violence and some language.

‘Ralph’ sequel packs a punch with strong female characters

By JONATHAN LANDRUM Jr. AP Entertainment Writer

LOS ANGELES — “Ralph Breaks the Internet” may star an arcade bad guy with powerful hammer-like fists, but the animated sequel is also packing a punch with strong female characters.

Sarah Silverman, who returns as the voice of Vanellope von Schweetz, credits Disney for including more impactful female roles in the new film, which comes out Wednesday. Her character is one of the leading ladies, along with new cast members Gal Gadot’s Shank and Taraji P. Henson, who plays Yesss.

“I love it,” said Silverman, an outspoken comedian known for advocating for women’s rights.

“You see how far Disney has allowed itself to grow and change, and be more inclusive and more progressive? You can’t keep on existing if you don’t change and grow with the times. With me, Taraji and Gal’s character, it’s nice to see.”

In the past, Disney has been criticized for having a lack of self-sufficient female characters who focused more on their physical appearance and being reliant on a man. That pattern began to change over the years in films such as “Tangled,” ”Brave” and “Frozen.”

With the “Ralph” sequel, the studio is taking “girl power” a step further as directors Phil Johnston and Rich Moore wanted to incorporate more “strong and complicated” female characters.

“This studio is the birthplace of a lot of these stereotypes,” said John C. Reilly, the voice of the massive, overall-wearing Ralph. “It’s really an amazing and commendable thing that Disney has recognized. … As a man, it’s not really my lane to talk about these issues. But I do think if things are going to change, men and women have to

both talk about this stuff and embrace gender equality, and think of women’s rights as humans. I was a strong advocate for balance in our story.”

The sequel is a follow up to the 2012 Oscar-nominated “Wreck-it Ralph.” This time, Ralph and Vanellope’s friendship is tested after leaving Litwak’s video arcade to travel through a Wi-Fi connection that ultimately delivers them into the fast-paced internet dimension.

They venture into an unfamiliar world exploring major brands from Twitter to Amazon, online shopping, the dark web and visits inside Walt Disney Studio’s website.

Johnston said the film’s imaginary of the internet mimics the look of a New York City or Tokyo. It’s where Ralph and Vanellope meet Gadot’s Shank, a gritty street-racing star, and Henson’s Yesss, who is the head algorithm of the trend-making website BuzzzTube.

“It’s like they’re small-town kids who are now in the big city,” said Moore, who directed the first “Ralph” film and the Academy Award-winning “Zootopia.” ”This is a movie about change. I’m glad that we took the more challenging road.”

“Ralph Breaks the Internet” offers an animated glimpse inside their parent company’s website showing several characters from Marvel to “Star Wars.” The film also highlights the Disney princesses in a scene where all stereotypes and cliches associated with the animated icons are dealt with head-on.

Initially, the princess scene faced backlash from fans in August after a publicity photo surfaced online showing Princess Tiana with lighter skin and a thinner nose compared to the version in the black character’s stand-alone Disney movie, “The Princess and the Frog.”

The studio ultimately reanimated the character after meeting with actress Anika Noni Rose, who voiced Tiana in the 2009 film, and members of Color of Change, a civil rights advocacy organization.

“Our goal is to make this film as perfect as possible as we can,” Johnston said. “I hope everyone knows we love this character as much as anyone.”

Henson called Tiana’s reanimation a “brilliant move” by Disney.

“If you know about it, you do better,” said the actor, who is black. “But Disney has a history of pleasing the people and appealing to the people. They’re a standup company. They did the right thing. I’m glad I’m in the film. I’m glad I’m in business with people who are on the right side of history, with no ego. Listening to the people who pay their money to see the film is a smart business move, but it also shows you care.”

Repatriated mosaic to help reconstitute apse The Associated Press

NICOSIA, Cyprus — A rare, 1,500 year-old mosaic depicting St. Mark has joined other repatriated pieces that were looted from the ethnically split Cyprus’ breakaway north, a Cypriot Orthodox Church official said Wednesday.

Together the pieces will create a Swiss government-funded reproduction of an apse that adorned a 6th-century church in the island’s north.

The mosaics were stolen by Turkish art dealer Aydin Dikman from the Church of the Virgin of Kanakaria about four decades ago and sold abroad.

Cyprus’ Byzantine Museum Director Ioannis Eliades said the apse will go on display at the museum until it can return to the Kanakaria church.

“This is a major project that we had envisioned for many

years to restore these pieces and now we have the last piece,” Eliades told The Associated Press.

“Especially such a mosaic which dates to the same period as the Ravenna mosaics is of particular importance, of great architectural value and … also has a very high religious value.”

The Kanakaria mosaics are among a few early Christian works that survived the iconoclastic period in the 8th and 9th centuries when most of such works were destroyed.

The St. Mark mosaic returned to Cyprus after Dutch investigator Arthur Brand tracked it down in Monaco and handed it over to authorities at the Cypriot Embassy in the Netherlands last week.

The Cyprus Antiquities Department said that initial information about the mosaic’s

whereabouts was provided to Cypriot authorities two years ago by the Greek-American organization AHEPA. The department said pieces of the mosaics including those of Saints Luke, Bartholomew,

Matthew, James, Thaddeus, Thomas and Andrew as well as the upper part of the Virgin Mary and Christ were gradually repatriated since 1983, but more pieces are still missing.

Dolph Lundgren is happy he has better lines

By JOHN CARUCCI Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Being cast as the villain Soviet boxer Ivan Drago in “Rocky IV” launched Dolph Lundgren’s acting career. But he had a brainier path if that didn’t work out.

The 61-year old actor holds a master’s degree in chemical engineering and was on a Fulbright scholarship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when Stallone cast him as Drago for the 1985 “Rocky” sequel.

Lundgren doesn’t regret trading academia for those red boxing trunks with the gold stripes, though he wishes his character had a few more coherent lines.

“It felt really surreal, and, at the same time, it felt like a big moment for me in my career as a person, because that character started my whole career and it’s been a great thing for me. But it’s also kind of been a negative in one way because the guy was such a monosyllabic guy,” Lundgren said. “He was a robot.”

This month, Lundgren reprises the role of Drago in “Creed II,” as much a sequel to the previous film as it is to “Rocky IV.” Lundgren remains

grateful to Stallone, not only for casting him in the first place, but for bringing him back in a heartier, more substantial role.

“I got a chance to play a guy who was a real person and who has real problems, especially a father-son relationship. When I see father-son relationships in movies, it always gets me emotional. And I had a chance to be part of that,” Lundgren said.

Back in “Rocky IV,” Drago kills Apollo Creed in the ring, only to lose to Rocky Balboa.

But he loses much more than a match.

In “Creed II,” we learn he is living in squalor after the embarrassing loss. He is raising his son Viktor, played by Florian Munteanu, to be a boxer and is seeking revenge on Rocky by getting his son to fight the son of the man he killed.

Munteanu said he felt a bond with Lundgren. “It’s an honor to play his son,” he said. “He wanted to create a father-son relationship right from the beginning.”

Lundgren had a unique trajectory that led him to the big screen. He was an engineering student in Melbourne, Australia, when he met actress Grace Jones. While dating, she took him to New York and intro-

duced to him people like Andy Warhol and Michael Jackson. It didn’t hurt that he was a karate champion when Stallone discovered him.

Since then, he’s had a busy action-movie career, which includes “The Expendables” trilogy, portraying He-Man in “Masters of the Universe,” and the upcoming “Aquaman.”

Still, he admits to soul searching when it came to his career path. “‘Why did I quit MIT? Why didn’t I continue with engineering? Why did I become an actor?’ And it took me a while,”

Lundgren said.

Now he’s at peace with his acting decision: “Whether I’m a good guy or a bad guy, it makes them feel something, and it brightens up their lives.

That’s kind of what my part in this earth has been, I guess.”

This time around, there wasn’t a lot of action scenes for Lundgren, and he was fine with that. But he did get in shape to play Drago, who he describes as “one of those guys who who’s always in shape.”

“No matter how much vodka he drinks, he’s going to go to the gym,” Lundgren said.

Student earns failing grade as a vacation house-sitter ing you about what she had “borrowed.” And if she was not given permission to help herself to the goodies in your garage, she should have left them where they were or offered to compensate you for them upon your return. I suppose the omission could be chalked up to immaturity, but I do think it should be mentioned.

DEAR ABBY: I have been Abigail Van Buren dating this guy for 2 1/2 years.

We started dating when he was separated and in the process of getting divorced. My friends and family have met him, but he has introduced me only to his friends.

He didn’t want me to meet his family until now. (I don’t know why.) He has a 3-year-old daughter.

One day I sent him an article about “your kids shouldn’t be the most important.” Well, he became upset because he thought I was trying to separate him and his daughter. I tried to explain that the article says you should love yourself first, but he still misunderstood me.

I told him I’m tired of him doubting us and my love. He isn’t sure if we are going to get married in two years.

What should I do? I want this relationship to work, but at the same time I feel like he is dragging me nowhere.

-- VERY INSECURE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR VERY INSECURE: You say that although you have met this man’s friends, you still have yet to meet any members of his family. Why not? After 2 1/2 years, this is a red flag. That after all this time he says he isn’t sure he wants to marry you is an even bigger one.

Put your cards on the table with him as you have with me, and tell him you think it would be better for both of you to start seeing others because even after 2 1/2 years he still isn’t ready for a commitment and you are.

Hints from Heloise

might be more than appropriate. Tonight: Play it low-key.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Zero in on what is important to you. A meeting helps you get focused. At the same time, you recognize where a friend is coming from.

Success will occur with the support of those around you. You all have different paths to the same goal: a happy Thanksgiving dinner. Tonight: Think “weekend.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Recognize that someone’s frequent glances reflect his or her admiration of how you handle certain situations. Your creativity surges and reflects in nearly any choice you make. Tap into your imagination during a Thanksgiving happening. Tonight: Make a call to a loved one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Do research about an important matter. You might decide that you need an expert. You will have difficulty absorbing new information that is unfamiliar to you. Feel free to talk to several different people as you try to understand the facts. Tonight: Read between the lines.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH A key person in your life approaches you with an offer. If you do not participate in what he or she is sharing, you might feel left out. Indirectly, this person is inviting you to join him or her. Only you can decide whether you are comfortable taking a leap of faith this Thanksgiving. Tonight: Be a duo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH At least one person keeps asking you for feedback or some other form of participation. Your engagement in a conversation will change

its tone, if not its message. Be aware of how strong your personality might be coming across to others. Tonight: Make it your treat.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Even if you are not feeling particularly frisky, you feel a sense of renewal. Do not push yourself too hard; just follow your normal Thanksgiving routine. Know that someone’s suggestion might not be the best option for you. Listen, and then weigh the pros and cons. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your imagination might not be as easily disciplined as you’d like it to be. Your mind seems to be in weekend mode. You might decide to take tomorrow off. Otherwise, do your best to focus on each item that you need to handle. Tonight: Let off some steam with a close friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You have a lot on your plate, especially when it comes to your home and the holidays. Before a situation becomes more difficult, take some time to handle the matters that you deem necessary. You could have difficulty explaining your feelings to others. Tonight: Dinner at a favorite place.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH A conversation could be so lively and demanding that you might need to take a break halfway through it. Do not hesitate to ask for the space you need. You cannot give a complete response without first giving it some thought. Tonight: Relax over a good Thanksgiving meal.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Readers: It’s THANKSGIVING DAY! With its beginnings as a multiday celebration of grace for a fruitful harvest, Thanksgiving has evolved into a day of reflection and thanks for health, family and contentment. (And shopping, football, consumerism and the kickoff to the holiday season, of course.)

During your celebration, take a moment to be thankful.

-- Heloise BLACK FRIDAY BONANZA? Dear Readers: Black Friday is tomorrow, the day when many retailers tempt us with deep discounts. Here are some hints to help you sail through the sales: * Electronics are always popular items, but be especially wary of bargain TVs. Make sure to do your homework, and buy quality. * You’re sure to find great prices on computers, especially tablet computers and e-readers. * Deep discounts also can apply to kitchen items and appliances. * Now is a great time to pick up CDs, DVDs and video games. Include a box set of a favorite classic TV series with that new, good-quality flat-screen TV. -- Heloise HINT FROM HIM Dear Heloise: There are items that shouldn’t go through the garbage disposal, and these items can make the kitchen smelly until the trash is put out.

My solution is to store them in a bag in the freezer. No stink! On trash day, I place the bag with the other trash for collection. This type of garbage doesn’t go in the compost.

-- Tom K., Strasburg, Va. A classic Heloise hint -- love it!

You also become more verbal and gregarious. You find that you have less of a need to keep everything to yourself. If you are single, your openness charms many people; however, it could cause you a problem. Get to know someone well before you dive right in. If you are attached, you and your partner change how you relate to each other. This transformation will affect your general interactions. SAGITTARIUS nearly always has a “good deal” for you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You may still be dealing with a financial decision or doing research on an investment. Your perspective about someone you have put on a pedestal could be changing. When you visit with this person over Thanksgiving, you will have a lot to consider.

Tonight: Happiest at home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You finally believe that you can have a discussion with a close partner about a very important matter.

The two of you often disagree about this issue, but you are starting to be able to identify with each other’s perspectives. Get into some of the traditional festivities associated with the day. Tonight: Have a great chat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could feel more challenged by a partner than you usually do. Most of the time, this person is not difficult; however, today is different. It would serve you well to stop and consider what is going on. A conversation

DEAR ABBY: Our family went away for a twoweek vacation. One of my co-workers suggested I hire her daughter to stay in our home and take care of our pets and plants in our absence. The daughter is 20 years old and a student. We agreed upon a generous payment and paid her as soon as we got home.

Everything was fine, except our stockpile of Costco items (granola bars and juice boxes) out in the garage was nearly depleted. When I asked her about it, she texted me back almost in a joking way that she had helped herself and meant to replenish the supply, but it had slipped her mind. She had also “borrowed” a couple of items from our home she forgot to return (blow-dryer, a game and our wine glasses), but returned them once it was brought to her attention.

I was happy just to come home to my plants and animals being alive and our house in one piece. My husband, on the other hand, was not. He suggested I inform my co-worker that I won’t be hiring her daughter again because she was very unprofessional. What is your opinion on the matter?

-- HOUSE-SITTING IN THE EAST DEAR HOUSE-SITTING: I agree with your husband. Although the daughter isn’t a professional house-sitter, she should not have taken items from your home without permission or without inform-
