PFD sees slight return for 1st quarter ANCHORAGE (AP) — Returns for the Alaska Permanent Fund were less than desirable for the first quarter of the 2019 fiscal year, ending the period with a balance of more than $63.9 billion, officials said. Alaska Permanent Fund Corp. managers generated a 2.13 percent return, with investments producing $846 million in statutory net income, the Alaska Journal of Commerce reported Tuesday. CEO Angela Rodell said the return highlights the significance of having a well-diversified investment portfolio and “meaningful allocations to private market assets.” “As the market becomes increasingly volatile, it is more important than ever to remember we invest with a 10-, 25-, 50-year or longer time horizon,” Rodell said. “Our APFC team continues to be focused on building real financial wealth and resources for the State of Alaska.” The fund’s balance was $931 million less than the nearly $64.9 billion at the start of the quarter, which ended Sept. 30. That loss was largely because of the money appropriated for the first time from the Earnings Reserve Account to fund state government operations. The state Legislature had approved a 5.25 percent of market value draw, about $2.7 billion, from the fund in May. About $1 billion paid the annual dividends, and the rest will be directed for government services. Statutory net income is transferred into the fund’s Earnings Reserve Account, which can be appropriated by the state for fund dividends, government expenses and preventing inflation in the fund principal. The Earnings Reserve Account had about $17 billion as of September.

Sullivan visits Kenai By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan spoke about his recent accomplishments, goals for improving the Alaska economy, and future challenges in Washington, D.C., during a presentation at the Kenai and Soldotna Joint Chamber Luncheon on Thursday afternoon. Sullivan started the presentation by acknowledging the Kenai Peninsula as a bright spot for the state of Alaska. “We’re obviously experiencing some continued challenges on the economic side, but so often the Kenai Peninsula is a bright spot for the state in a lot of ways year after year, even when other parts of the state are struggling,” Sullivan said. Sullivan lauded the national economy, particularly the gross domestic product (GDP), under the Trump administration. “If you’re looking at the numbers and have been seeing what’s been going on in our national economy, there’s been a dramatic change in the last 10 years,” Sullivan said. “I don’t want to be too political here, but I don’t think the previous administration was a friend to the Alaska economy. GDP growth is a measure of the strength of

our economy, but it’s also the measure of the strength of the American Dream; what people believe, and what people see in the future.” Sullivan said a strong economy is what makes America great. “This has been the secret sauce of our nation,” Sullivan

said. To keep the economy of the nation strong, Sullivan said he’s been working toward putting forward more pro-economic growth policies, such as last year’s tax reform bill. Sullivan also boasted about the nation’s unemployment rate, which he said it at a 50-

year low. Since 2010, U.S. unemployment has been on a steady decline, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to a Nov. 2 release, national unemployment rate stood at 3.7 percent. “Certain categories of unemSee SEN, page A13

Kenai police and fire departments will be seeing some upgrades thanks to a grant from the State Homeland Security Program. At Wednesday night’s Kenai City Council meeting, the council accepted and appropriated $120,350 from a grant provided by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, through Alaska’s Department of Military and Veterans’ Affairs. The program provides funding to states to support preparedness. The funds will be used to purchase a security camera system and replacement radios, according to a memo from Kenai Police Chief David Ross. Of the total grand money appropriated, $65,000 will be used to purchase the security camera system, which will cover the Kenai Public Safety Building on S. Willow Street.

Dunleavy picks GOP head ‘Protect Mueller’ protest breaks out for new administration in Juneau

By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

Governor-elect Mike Dunleavy named Alaska Republican Party chairman Tuckerman Babcock as his new chief of staff in a Thursday speech to the Alaska Miners Association. The speech formally opens the transition process between the administration of Gov. Bill Walker and his new incoming administration. “There’s going to be hundreds of folks and hundreds of positions that are going to turn over,” Dunleavy said. Babcock resigned from his political chairmanship shortly after Dunleavy’s speech. He and Babcock each said they have set up a transition website, www.governormikedunleavy.com, to accept applications from people interested in joining the new administration.

Protesters in Juneau gathered Thursday to voice concern about the future of Special Council Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. About 100 protesters met outside Juneau’s Hurff Ackerman Saunders Federal Building at 5 p.m. Some carried signs reading “nobody is above the law,” or “protect justice.” President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday. Protesters said they are worried that the new acting AG, Matthew Whitaker, would narrow the breadth of Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and the Kremlin.

To University of Alaska Southeast history professor David Noon, the handling of the Mueller probe is nothing less than an emergency. “We’re not out here to mourn the departure of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, we’re out here to call attention to a constitutional crisis,” Noon said. Political group MoveOn organized the nationwide protests as part of a “Mueller firing rapid response.” Organizers registered at the site as early as a year ago. If Trump took certain actions affecting the Mueller probe, MoveOn pledged to rally local protesters. That happened Wednesday evening after Trump appointed Whitaker. The Juneau protest joined hundreds nationwide and around the

Port Graham man sentenced for faking own death By MEGAN PACER Homer News

A man who faked his own death in 2016 to avoid a court appearance and triggered an expensive and needless search and rescue operation has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison at the federal level. The U.S. Attorney Office, District of Alaska office sent out a release Thursday detailing the sentence and the case. Ryan Riley Meganack, 35, pleaded guilty in federal court to false distress and being in possession of a firearm as a convicted felon. Fifteen months of the new federal sentence will be served consecutively to a 15-year sentence he got in state court for sexual assault committed in

2015. It all started on Nov. 29, 2016, when authorities say Meganack took his fishing vessel, the F/V Aires, to Passage Island near Port Graham Bay, south of Homer, alone. Meganack had been a commercial fisherman for about two decades, according to the sentencing memorandum for the case. It was there that he faked his own death. According to the release, he purposely swamped a smaller skiff he had been towing behind his larger fishing vessel, “and made it appear that he had gone missing after a boating accident or had otherwise died.” Investigation later revealed that Meganack had been charged in January 2015 for sexual assault of an incapaciSee PORT, page A13

Tens of thousands flee California fire By DON THOMPSON Associated Press

OROVILLE, Calif. — Tens of thousands of people fled a fast-moving wildfire Thursday in Northern California, some clutching babies and pets as they abandoned vehicles and struck out on foot ahead of the flames that forced the evacuation of an entire town. Everyone in Paradise, a community of 27,000 people about 180 miles northeast of San Francisco, was ordered to get out. The extent of the injuries and damage was not immediately known. Butte County CalFire Chief Darren Read said at a news conference that two firefighters and multiple residents were injured. As she fled, Gina Oviedo described a devastating scene in which flames engulfed homes, sparked explosions and toppled utility poles. “Things started exploding,” Oviedo said. “People started getting out of their vehicles and running.” Authorities were working on a plan to remove patients from a hospital after rescuers had to turn back because of gridlocked traffic. “It’s a very dangerous and very serious situation,” Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said. “I’m driving through fire as we speak. We’re doing everything we can to get people out of the affected areas.” Shari Bernacett said her husband tried to get people to leave the Paradise mobile home park they manage and had minutes to evacuate. He “knocked on doors, yelled and screamed” to alert as many residents as possible, Bernacett said. “My husband tried his best to get everybody out. The whole hill’s on fire. God help us!” she said before breaking down crying. She and her husband grabbed their dog, jumped in their pickup truck and drove through flames before getting to safety, she said. Officials were sending as many firefighters as they could, Cal Fire spokesman Rick Car-

hart said. “Every engine that we could put on the fire is on the fire right now, and more are coming,” he said. “There are dozens of strike teams that we’re bringing in from all parts of the state.” The sheriff confirmed reports that evacuees had to abandon their vehicles. He said rescuers were trying to put them in other vehicles. “We’re working very hard to get people out. The message I want to get out is if you can evacuate, you need to evacuate,” Honea said. The wildfire was reported around daybreak. Within six hours, it had grown to more than 26 square miles, Gaddie said. “The blaze is being driven by fairly strong winds,” Carhart said. “It’s really dry and we have low humidity, and unfortunately those are great conditions for a fire to spread.” Thick grey smoke and ash filled the sky above Paradise and could be seen from miles away. At the hospital with the stranded patients, some buildings caught fire and were damaged, but the main facility, Adventist Health Feather River Hospital, was not, spokeswoman Jill Kinney said.

What Others Say

Texas is not turning purple The question is on more than a few minds now. Did Beto O’Rourke prove the once-unthink-

able — that the near future of Texas is as a purple state? Those who hold out hope that, in fact, O’Rourke showed it is possible to repaint this red state will point to several factors. The congressman went from littleknown El Paso figure to a national sensation overnight and raised $70 million in the process. He forced Sen. Ted Cruz, a national figure on the right with a dedicated core of supporters, to run hard to win. And he appeared to be in a very competitive position in a series of polls over the course of the campaign. Political prognosticators might also point to other factors. Texas is a rapidly changing state attracting a wide swath of new voters. And just as rapid growth helped fuel a Republican takeover of Texas, such growth can change the political trajectory of a state. Colorado and Virginia are examples of states that are competitive today in part because, over time, the influx of residents can flip voting patterns. In Texas, this appears to take on added significance because of the growing number of Hispanic residents. It is presumed that in the coming years, they will break in favor of Democrats. All of these things are true, but color us skeptical that they add up to a purple future for the state of Texas in the near term. Consider that Republicans who war with other Republicans tend to underperform. And Cruz spent the first few years of his term mixing up with members of his own party in Washington, then made a name for himself challenging his party on its principles as he ran for president. And, although anecdotal, we have met a lot of staunch Republicans who didn’t vote for Cruz because they just don’t like him. All of that adds up to the fact that Cruz had work to do to win a second term. But there is more evidence to suggest this year’s results are peculiar to the circumstances. We’ll start with President Donald Trump’s leadership style. To the extent that this election cycle was a referendum on the president, the results broke against Republicans generally. That is especially true in our suburbs. One reason Pete Sessions won’t be returning to Congress is that he was a Republican running in the suburbs this year. Despite all of this, however, Democrats still failed to win a statewide race. They weren’t able to defeat Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who became synonymous with divisive politics. The party of Beto also failed to unseat Ken Paxton, the state’s attorney general who is under indictment. In the end, O’Rourke outperformed Lupe Valdez, who ran a lackluster campaign for governor, by just five points in a year that was supposed to be a wave election against the president’s party. To us, what all of this shows is that there is a hunger among voters for candidates who offer a mix of optimism and who work against those who would divide us. Republicans are just as capable of offering that message. Indeed, it is the message that enabled George W. Bush to turn the state red in 1994. It’s the message Ronald Reagan used to endear himself to a generation on the right. And, we suspect, it is a message candidates will rediscover as they consider what it will take to remain competitive in the years ahead.

No, Trump is not diminished

Midterm losses typically humble a sitting president of the United States, but Donald Trump is beyond humbling. He is the most unbowed president ever to lose a house of Congress. Anyone who thought Trump would be taken down a notch, even by a more stinging electoral rebuke, doesn’t know the man. He will remain the ringmaster of American politics until the day, presumably in January 2021 or 2025, when he gets on Marine One for the last time. He made the midterms about him, because, really, what else would he make them about? Trump will never lose his interest in airtime, or the ratings. He boasted at a rally that, thanks to him, interest in the midterms was running higher than ever. And he was right. Even if Democrats had a larger victory, on the scale of the Republican sweep in 1994, it would be impossible to imagine Trump getting upstaged. After the so-called Republican Revolution, Newt Gingrich became a figure of fascination and stole the bully pulpit out from under President Bill Clinton. Gingrich soaked up every ounce of the attention and sought to govern the country from the House. This was ultimately unsustainable because a House speaker, no matter how compelling, isn’t the president of the United States, and the undisciplined Gingrich didn’t hold up well under the press attention. Trump, in contrast, still owns the microphone. His 90-minute Q&A in the East Room

of the White House on Wednesday was expansive, combative, boastful, gripping, outlandish, conciliatory, amusing — and unlike any postelection news conference we’ve ever seen Rich Lowry (even without Trump mentioning, by the by, that he was firing his attorney general). The press loved every minute of it, practically begging him to keep going. The perverse symbiotic relationship between Trump and the media, so key to the success of both, is alive and well. According to Trump, the election wasn’t a “thumpin’” or “shellacking” — George W. Bush’s and Barack Obama’s words for their own setbacks — it was a personal victory that had been blighted by some Republicans not sufficiently embracing him. He proceeded to mock by name fellow Republicans who had lost, in another presidential first. Trump has legitimate bragging rights: The Republican showing in the Senate was strong. His political base is still there for him, and in many key statewide races, there for the candidate he endorsed and stumped for. His rallies are still a hot ticket. He now has a cadre of allies, like newly elected Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whom he basically created. Alienating traditional Republican voters

in the suburbs, of course, comes with a real cost. For one thing, it hands Democrats a constituency spread throughout the country, as demonstrated by the GOP carnage in widely dispersed House races. But, for Trump’s purposes, the GOP’s strength in Florida, Ohio and Iowa suggests that, all things being equal, key pieces of his 2016 electoral map are still ripe for the picking in 2020. Losing the House is a blow, not so much because it stalls Trump’s congressional agenda (there wasn’t going to be much of one), but because he now has an adversary with subpoena power. So far, Nancy Pelosi has been restrained. She steered clear of flamboyant Resistance-like rhetoric and talk of impeachment. Unlike the left’s activists and cable-talkers, her candidates didn’t let themselves get whipped into a perpetual frenzy about Trump and stuck relentlessly to their message on health care. But investigative conflict with the president looms. The subject matter will be most unwelcome to Trump, including his tax returns and his businesses. The fight won’t be. It will be high-stakes combat of the sort that he thrives on, the more intense, perilous and dramatic, the better. Because he will be at the center of it. Trump’s genius at keeping our interest is undimmed, whether we are appalled, energized or entertained. He’s so far avoided a fate worse than electoral setbacks — getting tuned out.

Judge refuses to limit Arizona vote count, sets hearing signatures on mail ballots. She also declined to order the counties to temporarily separate mail ballots that have been verified by that process after Election Day. County registrars said that would cause chaos and slow the long vote-counting process even more. Mahoney scheduled a hearing Friday and indicated she would rule then. Democrats claim the lawsuits by GOP officials are intended to limit votes for Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema in her race against Republican Rep. Martha Mc-

Sally. On Thursday night, Sinema inched into the lead for the first time since Election Day, ahead by just under 9,000 votes. Democrats believe uncounted ballots dropped off in the Phoenix area in Maricopa County — and in heavily Democratic Pima County, the other major county that follows the procedure —— favor Sinema. Throughout the state, a total of more than 600,000 votes remain untallied in the race to replace retiring Republican Sen. Jeff Flake.

I just happen to be a Gulf War Veteran that was randomly selected to write the Minister’s Message for the Clarion. My immigrant grandfather served in the Navy in WWII and fought in the Aleutian Islands. My father was in the Navy and served during Vietnam. I was a Navy Chaplain that deployed with the USS Abraham Lincoln battle group to the Persian Gulf back in 2000. One destroyer (USS Cole) in our battle group was blown up by terrorists, while refueling in Aden, Yemen. 17 sailors were

Debriefings with groups of about a dozen at a time. We would talk about what they had experienced and this helped them get out of the shock that they were experiencing. What brought them comfort and peace in the face of the horrors of war was the message of peace and hope that I believe only Jesus can bring. Later, Vice Admiral Thomas J. Moore (commander in charge of all Middle East military operations) told me that whatever I said to them had made a huge difference. There is a familiar saying, “There are no atheists in the foxholes.”

There is a reason for this. When you are faced with the possibility of your own death or are seeing others die, there are two things on your mind: your family back home and God. The military has counselors, but it sends chaplains into combat with the troops. This Veterans Day tell a veteran “thank you” for the sacrifices they made. When you go to church this Sunday, remember to thank God for Veterans. You too can find the peace and hope that only Jesus can give during the difficulties and trials of life. — Rev.

Pope OKs beatification for US brother slain in Guatemala war By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has decreed that an American religious brother, James Miller, was killed out of hatred for the Catholic faith during Guatemala’s civil war and can be beatified. Miller is the second American slain in Guatemala to move a step closer to possible sainthood in recent years. The Rev. Stanley Rother, who was gunned down during the Guatemalan conflict in 1981, was beatified as a martyr in his native Oklahoma last year. The Vatican said Thursday that Francis approved a decree recognizing that Miller, from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, died as a martyr on Feb. 13, 1982, in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. The 37-year-old Miller had been working with indigenous youths as a member of the De La Salle Christian Brothers when he was killed by three masked men. No one was ever arrested in the slaying. Miller’s fellow brothers reported receiving warnings that Guatemala’s armed forces intelligence unit, the G-2 death squad, was looking for them. A U.N. truth commission determined that some 245,000 people were killed or disappeared during Guatemala’s 1960-1996 civil war, which

pitted right-wing, U.S.-backed governments against leftist guerrillas and indigenous peoples. The vast majority of the killings were attributed to the army or to pro-government paramilitary groups. Being declared a martyr exempts Miller from the usual beatification requirement of having a miracle attributed to his intercession confirmed. However, such a miracle would be required for him to be declared a saint. A date for his beatification has not been set. Miller was one of more than a dozen people whose saintmaking causes advanced during an audience Wednesday between Francis and the head of the Vatican’s saint-making office. During the audience, Francis took the unusual step of decreeing that Michael Giedroyca, a lay member of the Order of St. Augustine during the 15th century, could be beatified without being declared a martyr or having a miracle attributed to his intercession. Giedroyc was born in Lithuania with a condition that resulted in short stature. He spent much of his life in Krakow, Poland, where he died in 1485. Francis has granted a handful of such “equivalent” decrees for well-known and revered saintly figures, including Pope John XXIII, whom Francis declared a saint alongside St. John Paul II in 2014.

Dealing with low daylight

keep this graph in my office. On the Y-axis (the vertical one, if you don’t remember high school science and math) the hours of the day are listed in military time, 00 to 24. The X-axis (the horizontal one) lists the days of the year in five-day increments, from January on the left to December on the right. Plotted on the graph are a series of parabolic lines. They diverge and connect, each representing the northern latitudes from 45 to 75 degrees. By finding the date and your latitude, the graph shows three things: the sunrise, sunset and duration of daylight for each day. Yes, I know all of this information is a Google search away, but like a good bibliophile, I enjoy the timelessness of the paper copy. There’s no need to update or refresh, no need for internet access. A note on the bottom reads, “This chart is independent of the year; it is useful for all time.” It’s satisfying for a reason that seems deeply human. A cerebral attraction to patterns, cycles and repetition, maybe. The visual equivalent of a drumbeat held fast. Sitting at my desk in Juneau on Thursday, I find the three points on the graph corresponding to the date (Nov. 7) and my latitude (58 degrees north). Sunrise: approximately 7:30 a.m. Sunset: approximately 3:50 p.m. (I conferred with Google. I am a couple minutes off, but plotted as close as I could given the small size of the graph’s squares.) The third set of lines, duration of daylight, shows 8 hours, 30 minutes. The trajectory of the 58-degree line in that set is on the steepest part of its decline. It’ll bottom out on Dec. 21, winter solstice, when Juneau receives about 3 hours, 40 minutes of daylight. This time of year, I try not to bottom out myself. The lack of sun makes me lethargic. It can be hard not to lose interest in outdoor activities, which always take more planning and care this time of year. Without a healthy love of skiing, coffee, gym access and some good snow — and soups, always soups — winter in Alaska would be a personal black hole. I’d be lying if I said I always follow my own advice, but here’s what I do to avoid hibernation: • Walk it out. It might be too slick and cold to run outside, and snow has by now probably rendered some of your favorite hikes impassable. As my 30s creep up on me (I’m 28) the appeal of a nice walk with a podcast grows. It’s surprisingly good exercise and I love the cozy feeling of returning home cold-faced and bleary-eyed. • Don’t stare at a screen an hour before bed. Something about the light spectrum from screens can screw up your sleep. Taking care of your sleep schedule can be tougher in the winter, when constant darkness can throw you a loop. Reading a book before bed always leads to better sleep, personally. See OFFICE, page A8

Smooth transition Bears’ Bok has no problem coming from Sweden By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Monday, Kenai River Brown Bears defenseman Johan Bok and his teammates hiked just over two miles to Lower Fuller Lake, gaining about 1,300 feet of elevation in the process. There, beckoning under a blue sky and nestled at the base of Round Mountain, they found a perfect ice sheet 6 to 8 inches thick. In a scene that’s usually more of an Alaska dream than reality, the team practiced for two hours, including a 45-minute game using small goals that had been carried up to the lake. “It was definitely cool to see the mountains and skate on the clear ice where you could see the bottom of the lake,” Bok said. “It was something I’ll

never forget.” The special practice was just another example of the seamless transition Bok has made coming from Sweden to play for the Bears this season. “He’s been good for us this year,” Kenai River assistant Dan Bogdan said. “He’s been steady with some offensive production. “I feel good about putting him out there every night. He knows how to do his job.” Many times, players from foreign countries face an adjustment period as they deal with new language, food, style of hockey and distance from home. But all the pieces were in place for Bok to quickly adjust to being with the Kenai River Brown Bears, and he’s taken advantage. See BOK, page A7

Nikiski makes state semifinals Homer volleyball drops opener By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Nikiski volleyball team came to the Class 3A state championship tournament with a plan. Phase one of that plan was completed Thursday night at the Alaska Airlines Center when the Bulldogs knocked off the defending state champs Valdez with a 3-1 quarterfinal victory. Nikiski won with scores of 22-25, 25-17, 25-22 and 25-13, advancing the Bulldogs to Friday’s semifinal contest against Grace Christian at 5:15 p.m. with a chance to play in Saturday’s final. Nikiski defeated Grace in five sets last week for the region crown. “It’s awesome, the girls have been talking about having to see Valdez all week,” said Nikiski head coach Stacey Segura. “We showed up Monday in practice and when they saw the bracket, we knew we were in a tougher bracket.” Nikiski began the day with a 3-0 sweep of Barrow before setting their sights on the Buccaneers. In other games, Homer faltered in its first state tournament appearance in three years with a 3-1 loss to Valdez and will play Barrow at 11:45 a.m. today in a loser-out game.

against Valdez, scoring a gamehigh 19 kills and putting up a spectacular 12 blocks on Valdez’s front line. “It feels great,” Bostic exclaimed. “Working as a team is everything in how we win. As long as we keep that up with our attitudes up, we’ll win.” Bulldogs senior Bethany Carstens complemented Bostic’s attack with 20 kills of her own, along with four blocks. Senior Emma Wik also provided 22 assists, junior Kaitlyn Johnson had 23 assists to go with 16 digs and senior libero Kelsey Clark notched 33 digs. Bostic was not part of the Nikiski varsity team that two years ago made it to the state final, but several of her senior teammates were. Bostic said competing with a strong team like this year’s group motivated her to push against the stout Bucs defense. “It just boosts our confidence and we know we can do really good,” she said. “This year I feel like I have a lot more to give to the team, and make it stronger as a whole.” Early on, however, the Bulldogs found themselves down a set after losing out in a late battle with the Bucs. Tied at 21 apiece, Valdez buckled down and won four of the last five points to stake out a 1-0 match advantage. But against the experienced Bulldogs, Segura said she knew the match was far from over.

Soldotna splits opening day at state By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

For a span of about 20 minutes Thursday night, it looked as if the team from the smallest school in the Class 4A state volleyball tournament was on its way to stunning the biggest. Ultimately, the Soldotna Stars fell 3-1 to the biggest school in the tournament, the West Anchorage Eagles, in a quarterfinal matchup. The Eagles won with scores of 25-9, 25-12, 26-28 and 25-21, advancing them to Friday’s semifinal round against the Dimond Lynx. Soldotna, meanwhile, will need to win three games in the “loser-out” bracket to reach Saturday’s final, starting Friday with a 1:30 p.m. matchup against the winner of Wasilla and

Colony. After falling into a 2-0 match hole with lopsided scores, SoHi was able to eke out a slim third set victory, then came close to forcing a winner-takeall fifth set, leading 20-17 late in the fourth. “I told them to hang in there,” said SoHi head coach Sheila Kupferschmid. “Other teams sometimes will let up when they go up (2-0), and my kids kept their foot on the gas.” The late motivation was the result of a complete team effort. Junior outside hitter Ituau Tuisaula pumped in 11 kills, while Bailey Leach scored four aces and 11 points overall, libero Holleigh Jaime had 14 digs and Brittani Blossom recorded 15 digs. Earlier on Thursday, the Stars prevailed 3-2 over West Valley, advancing

them to the late game against West. SoHi faced difficulty in West’s tall front line, namely senior middle hitter Danika Brown, who pelted the Stars defense with kill points. “They’re big and they swing well,” Kupferschmid explained. “They have a good setter.” Kupferschmid said she felt the key different against West was Soldotna’s serve-receive, which struggled against a deep Eagles team that had defensive stars Jaime, Blossom and Kylie Ness scrambling. West opened up a 17-6 lead in the first set before Kupferschmid was forced to call timeout to discuss how to contain the service game of West senior Kathleen Dexter, who put up a handful of service points on the Stars. SoHi didn’t fare much better in the

second set, although Leach and Tuisaula were able to pair up for several SoHi block points. Brown made sure to record her impact on the game with three kill points out of four in a 5-3 West run. The Eagles clamped down on defense to take a 23-11 lead late that stood up. West looked to be on its way to the sweep when it took a 12-8 lead in the third set, but a timeout seemed to organize the Stars, who rallied to tie it at 16 apiece. The Eagles led 20-17, but Tuisaula pounded the Stars pack into contention with strong hitting. SoHi staved off match point three times, first at 2422 and then at 25-24 and 26-25. A ball from Jaime sailed wide after glancing off a West player, lifting SoHi into set See SOHI, page A7

“I just made sure to keep them grounded and focused,” Segura said. “When we lost that first set, we didn’t lose our composure, they worked so well together.” A 9-1 run by Nikiski spurred the Bulldogs on midway through the second set as they took a 2114 lead thanks to some timely blocks by Bostic, and a ball from Savannah Ley glanced off a Valdez defender to secure the set win, tying the match at 1-all. Deadly serving by Druesedow to begin the third set helped Nikiski out to a 7-3 lead early, but Valdez rallied back to tie it at 12 with tough serving of their own from Carlee Fleming. Fleming proved to be a thorn in Nikiski’s side all night with nearly mistake-free hitting. Valdez led 20-19 when Segura called timeout. Coming out of the break, Bostic laid down a point on a big hit to tie it up and Wik gave Nikiski the lead with a point. The Bulldogs were able to finish strong with a stuff block and a kill by Bethany Carstens to take a 2-1 match lead. Like the previous game, Nikiski opened the fourth set strong with a 9-4 lead, then hunkered down to keep it going. Nikiski closed out spectacularly with a 12-2 flourish to punch its ticket to the semis. Additionally for Nikiski, Lillian Carstens had five kills and Angela Druesedow notched 15

digs. Nikiski 3, Barrow 0 The Bulldogs opened their state tournament with a convincing three-set sweep over the defending state runner-up Whalers, winning with scores of 25-16, 25-20 and 25-18. Bethany Carstens and Kaycee Bostic fueled the Nikiski offense with a powerful attack, both players striking for nine kills and five blocks each. Kaitlyn Johnson helped set it up with 11 assists to go with four kills, and Emma Wik added 15 assists as well. Nikiski also got 19 digs from Kelsey Clark, 16 digs from America Jeffreys and two aces from Angela Druesedow. The Bulldogs struggled to take command of both the first two sets, playing even with Barrow each time until strong pushes in the late minutes helped Nikiski pull out a 2-0 match lead. In set one, Bethany Carstens came in midway through the set to provide a scoring punch, knocking out three consecutive Nikiski points to put the Bulldogs up 19-15. The showing by Carstens helped motivate Nikiski to five straight points and a 23-15 lead. Clark put away the set with a service point. Barrow rocketed out to a 5-1 lead in the second set, but a five-point run helped get Nikiski back into it and with a 9-7 edge. With the score tied 14-all, Nikiski found its footing with 7-2 run kickstarted by a Barrow serve into the netting, followed by a

service point by Druesedow and a stuff block by Carstens. Bostic added to the run with a pair of kill points, then finished the set with a kill. Seven unanswered points by Nikiski helped give the Bulldogs a 10-5 lead in the third set, and they later pushed it to 20-13. Balls called out helped prop the Whalers back up with five straight points, but Bethany Carstens made it easy for Nikiski with consecutive kill points to push the Bulldogs to the set win and match sweep.

Buccaneers did not allow more than two consecutive points by Homer over the entire set. It was a different story for the Mariners in the second set as Homer grabbed a 12-6 lead thanks to dominant front line play by Carroll and Smude, who contributed a handful of kill points. Valdez had the lead cut to 1612 before Homer ripped off six straight points for a commanding 22-12 advantage. Inama eventually capped the set win with a service point to tie the match up. The fireworks in the third set began when Valdez took set point at 24-19 on an out call by Homer. Smude got the rally going with a kill point, then Carroll and Hetrick teamed up for a stuff block to keep it going, and Carroll pumped in two scoring hits en route to a 6-0 run. The Mariners held set point at 25-24, but a service ball by Smude that sailed out of bounds gave the ball back to Valdez, which scored twice to take set point 26-25. A serve out of bounds by Valdez’s Jillian Fleming tied it up, but the Bucs took it back with a kill by Sydney Johnson and a service point by Kendall Wesenberg to grab a 2-1 match lead. In the elimination game four, Homer found itself leading 22-21, but a pair of called out balls led to three straight Bucs points and Valdez held match point at 2423. Gallios notched a kill to keep the Mariners alive for one point, but a block by Valdez secured the match victory for the Bucs.

The Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets are in second with 21 points, while the Fairbanks Ice Dogs are in third with 20 points. The Springfield (Illinois) Jr. Blues are in fifth with 15 points. But last weekend showed how good the fifth-place team is. Kenai River scored a tight 2-1 victory on Friday against the Jr. Blues before falling 6-1 on Saturday. The Bears have now split four games with Springfield this season. Kenai River assistant Dan Bogdan said the Saturday game shows how thin the margin for error is in the division. “I don’t think the score reflected how the game went,” Bogdan said. “The mistakes we did make were really magnified.” Bears fans have also seen

the sixth-place Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel and the Jets at the sports complex. While the Bears swept a Steel team that is new this year and very young, Kenai River lost a pair of very tight 2-1 games to Janesville. “Top to bottom, the division is really strong,” Bogdan said. “The Magicians are coming to town and they are a tough matchup, but we’re having a great week of practice and we’re ready to get over that loss.” At 13-5-0-0, the Magicians have accumulated the secondmost points in the league, but they will be smarting from a 5-1 loss in Fairbanks on Saturday.

There’s been some adjustments. I have to make the easy play to keep up with the pace of the game.” Bok, who has three goals and two assists in 18 games, also is taking advantages of opportunities he didn’t get often in Sweden, like being able to bring the puck up the ice and getting power-play time.

Varnamo’s climate, winter darkness and rural nature prepped Bok for Kenai. “To end up in a place like Alaska and Kenai is pretty awesome,” Bok said. “The nature is like at home, but we don’t have as many mountains.” Bok, a 20-year-old in his final year of junior eligibility, moved north 45 minutes to Jonkoping to play his Under-15 hockey. “It’s not hard for me to live so far from home,” Bok said. “I’ve already lived away from home for five years.” With a firm grasp of English, Bok decided this summer to make the transition to the United States. He said in Sweden, there is not an opportunity to combine hockey and higher education like there is in the United States. Through a showcase skate put on by a program called College Hockey Sweden, Bok drew the interest of Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich for leadership and skating ability. “We look at skating speed and skill, especially skating on our Olympic ice sheet,” Bogdan said. “His speed and skill is fairly obvious when he gets on the big ice. It’s pretty hard to get the puck away from him.” It also didn’t hurt that Bok played a major leadership role in one of his junior seasons in Sweden. “He doesn’t wear a letter but he’s been a leader for us,” Bogdan said. “We wanted highcharacter guys and Johan has been one of them.” Also easing Bok’s transition have been billet parents Mandy and Sam Clyde of Soldotna. “Mandy made me some

General Assembly approved resolutions condemning apartheid in South Africa, including one characterizing the white-ruled government as “illegitimate.” In 1986, Israel revealed it was holding Mordechai Vanunu, a former nuclear technician who’d vanished after providing information to a British newspaper about Israel’s nuclear weapons program. (Vanunu was convicted of treason and served 18 years in prison.) In 1989, communist East Germany threw open its borders, allowing citizens to travel freely to the West; joyous Germans danced atop the Berlin Wall. In 1999, with fireworks, concerts and a huge party at the landmark Brandenburg Gate, Germany celebrated the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 2000, George W. Bush’s lead over Al Gore in all-or-nothing Florida slipped beneath 300 votes in a suspense-filled recount, as Democrats threw the presidential election to the courts, claiming “an injustice unparalleled in our history.” In 2007, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf (pur-VEHZ’ mooSHAH’-ruhv) of Pakistan placed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto (BEN’-uh-zeer BOO’-toh) under house arrest for a day, and rounded up thousands of her supporters to block a mass rally against his emergency rule. Ten years ago: Barack Obama’s transition chief, John Podesta, told Fox News Sunday the president-elect planned to review President George W. Bush’s executive orders on such things as stem cell research and domestic drilling for oil and natural gas. China unveiled a $586 billion stimulus package aimed at inoculating the world’s fourth-largest economy against the global financial crisis. Five years ago: A house party shooting in suburban Houston left two teens dead. Three of the four surviving Doolittle Raiders who attacked Tokyo in 1942, all in their 90’s, offered a final toast to their fallen comrades in a ceremony at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, Ohio. One year ago: During a visit to Beijing, President Donald Trump criticized what he called a “very one-sided and unfair” trade relationship between the U.S. and China, but said he doesn’t blame China for having taken advantage of the U.S. The Washington Post quoted an Alabama woman as saying that Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of Alabama had sexual contact with her when she was 14 and he was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney; three other women told the Post that Moore had approached them when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s.

• Cook soup. Nothing kicks a night of Netflix up a notch like a bowl of homemade broth with veggies, noodles and meat. With more indoor time ahead, you’re going to need some activities, too, and putzing around the kitchen, fussing over a long-simmering pot of fatty goodness gives your dark, lazy evenings some purpose. I like making ramen, as it takes awhile and is chock-full of cold-fighting fats. On a low simmer, cook chicken wings, pig trotters and some aromatics (leek, garlic, shallot, onion, whatever you’re feeling) for at least six hours, then strain out all the solids. Cook some noodles separately and top it off with some pork belly (cooked separately), mushrooms and a soft-boiled egg (you can marinade these in soy sauce for extra flavor).

• Make peace with indoor exercise. Gym lighting is a horror show and the crowds can be annoying. I don’t like locker room small talk, nor seeing nude the people I sometimes interview or interact with on a daily basis. But exercise is key to maintaining energy levels in the winter. Get over it and hit the gym. • Drink strong beer. This won’t help your physical health, but there’s nothing wrong with drinking a bit more (responsibly) in the winter. Stouts and porters just taste better when it’s cold. If none of these things work, book a trip to Hawaii.

cause they could no longer drag branches through elodea-infested waters. Here on the Kenai Peninsula, the partnership pioneered the use of aquatic herbicides and was the first to successfully eradicate elodea from an Alaska waterbody. Of five known infestations on the Kenai, four were successfully eradicated (Beck, Daniels, Stormy, Sports Lakes) and the fifth is likely to be gone by next summer. What is so unusual about the elodea partnership is that local, state and federal agencies and NGOs came together to work voluntarily on a problem with no funding available, and then not only made it work, but in a short time frame. Mike Navarre, our former borough mayor, remarks, “This collective effort is a great example of how to responsibly deal with public policy issues. A problem was identified and everyone came together with the goal of addressing the problem and educating the public on the issue. The focus was on resolving the problem rather than placing blame or claiming credit.”

As with most partnerships, it wasn’t the organizations and agencies involved that made the difference — it was individuals. Early on, shortly after elodea was found in Stormy Lake in 2012, Brianne Blackburn and later Heather Lescanec (Alaska Department of Natural Resources), Matt Steffy (Homer Soil & Water Conservation District) and myself (Kenai National Wildlife Refuge) organized the first public meetings in Nikiski, as well as the partnership itself. We were also the heavy hitters in the permitting process and in raising funds, and later during the actual herbicide treatments when others such as Matt Bowser and Todd Eskelin from the Kenai refuge also weighed in. Mike Navarre, as former mayor, provided $40,000 to initially seed the effort. With help from Michele Aranquiz, former assistant to the mayor, the borough assembly later approved a $400,000 request for state capital funding that provided critical momentum for eradication efforts eventually costing more than twice that amount. As this battle with elodea has played out, everyone has had roles to play. Jack Blackwell (Alaska State Parks) agreed to close Stormy Lake‘s

public boat launch to reduce the risk of more spread. Later, Tammy Davis and Jeff Break field (Alaska Department of Fish & Game) helped close Sport Lake’s public boat launch, even while providing staff to inspect for elodea on boats and trailers when it was open. Cheryl Anderson (Kenai Fish & Wildlife Field Office) and Dr. Libby Bella (Kenai refuge) surveyed many lakes in 2013. Edgar Guerron-Orejuela and Jen Hester, with the Kenai Watershed Forum, continued those surveys, and rounded up funds to evaluate the use of eDNA to detect elodea and the degradation of residual herbicide in lake sediments. Lisa Ka’aihue and others at the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association were quick to install nets to prevent elodea from washing downstream, and more recently to survey Mat-Su lakes. Janice Chumley (UAF Cooperative Extension Service) was always quick to help with public outreach. Several Daniels Lake landowners, Bill Haese, Bill and Michele Hartline, and Stacy Oliva, enthusiastically contributed their personal time to this planning effort. Craig Ralston and Susan Stockdale graciously provided boat access to Beck

Lake. Outside experts provided free consultation. Dr. Lars Anderson (University of California-Davis) helped launch us down the right planning path. Scott Shuler and Dr. Andrew Skibo (SePRO Corporation) provided support during the early days when we really didn’t understand technical aspects of the herbicides or application equipment. Dr. Don Les (University of ConnecticutStorrs) identified elodea from the Nikiski lakes as a hybrid species. This partnership has successfully won five battles, but it may lose the war with elodea as that ultimately depends on the success of other partnerships elsewhere in Alaska. Elodea is so viral in its ability to spread by floatplane that it needs to be eradicated from Mat-Su and Anchorage lakes if we want to protect the Kenai. But I’m glad UCIDA recognized that our local partnership really has set the bar for how to be successful.

ployment with Hispanics and African-Americans… it’s the lowest ever.” As of October 2018, black or African-American unemployment rate was 6.2 percent, according to the BLS report, and the Hispanic unemployment rate stood at 4.4 percent. He also discussed one of his recent bills — the Red Tape Act of 2017, which requires that for every new federal regulation a federal agency propagates, an equivalent regulation must be removed. “If you look at a federal regulation chart — what’s happened there over the last 30 years — there are more and more regulations, and yet no one is looking at the regulations from the 1970s or 80s and saying, ‘Hey, do we still need these?’” Sullivan said. “So this (bill) says to agencies, if you’re going to propagate a new regulation, you got to get rid of an old regulation.” After mentioning the bill to President Trump, Sullivan said Trump preferred that two old regulations be removed instead of just one. “(Trump’s) actually like, ‘I like one in two out,’” Sullivan said. “So we amended it to be one in, two out. … This is not about cutting corners. This is not about polluting. This is common sense.” Sullivan also spoke about U.S. military expansion in Alaska.

state. Anchorage, Fairbanks, Homer, Palmer, Sitka and Soldotna all registered events with MoveOn, according to their website. Protesters are worried Whitaker, who has publicly criticized Mueller, is a Trump surrogate who would not treat the investigation fairly. College student Noah Williams called Whitaker’s appointment a blatant attempt by Trump to seize control of the investigation. The Mueller probe has resulted in indictments or guilty pleas from

tated woman in Anchorage. Online court records show he faced one count of first-degree sexual assault, four counts of second-degree sexual assault and three counts of third-degree sexual assault, and that he was scheduled to plead guilty to one count of third-degree sexual assault on Dec. 5, 2016, in Anchorage court. “Meganack was a secondtime sex offender and faced many years in prison for that crime,” the release states. “To avoid prison, Meganack hatched a plan to fake his own death, which involved him causing a false report of distress to the U.S. Coast Guard.” Meganack then enlisted the help of his then-girlfriend, Ivy Rodriguez, now 28. He picked her up in the larger fishing vessel, which they anchored in a tidal lagoon before walking back to Port Graham, where Meganack proceeded to hide. He went to a makeshift camp he had set up ahead of time and

Sarah Palin. “All of the above,” Ward said when asked what positions might be available. “There’s going to be a change in philosophy” between Walker and Dunleavy, she said. Some of that change was evident Thursday afternoon as Dunleavy spoke to the Miners Association and repeatedly used the phrase “open for business.” “Under my administration, I

No place in the world will have a hundred fighters.” Sullivan said he’s been successful in bringing Alaskans to Washington, D.C., to serve in federal positions of authority. “We have been really successful in going to the Trump administration and saying, ‘Here are some really good Alaskans who want to serve, and pick up from our great state and move to the swamp and serve their country,’” Sullivan said. “For the most part, we’re doing really well on getting our people, our Alaskan officials, into very high-level jobs that benefit the country and really benefit us.” He mentioned Joe Balash, who was recently confirmed as the Assistant Secretary for Land and Minerals Management within the U.S. Department of Interior; Tara Mac Lean Sweeney, who was confirmed as the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs at the Interior Department; Chris Oliver, who was chosen to be the Assistant Administrator for the National Marine Fisheries Service; and Chris Hladick, who was appointed as Region 10 Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency. Another act Sullivan recently worked on, and which was signed into law, is the Save Our Seas Act of 2018. The bill addresses ocean pollution, specifically plastic ocean debris. “Almost all of (the debris) comes from Asia,” he said. “Actually five countries in Asia, ac-

tually 10 rivers in Asia – if you can believe that — account for the vast majority of pollution in our ocean,” Sullivan said. “There’s no state nailed by that more than us. You guys that go out and fish; you see it wash up on the shore.” Sullivan said the bill funds more robust cleanup efforts, provides mechanisms for states to declare ocean debris emergencies and calls on the Trump administration to work toward national agreements with other countries regarding pollution. “That’s literally what happens in a lot of these developing countries with strong economies,” Sullivan said. “They just push their debris and garbage into the rivers.” One challenge Sullivan said the federal government is starting to address is the opioid epidemic. “This is something that’s hitting so many families and it doesn’t matter who you are — black, white, Native, not Native, rich or poor,” Sullivan said. “It’s in every state, and our state isn’t being spared. I consider myself a fiscal conservative. On this issue, I have been really advocating for more federal funding. If we had a disease like Ebola rip through America and kill 74,000 people in one year, the federal government would be all over it in terms of helping to try and stop it.” Sullivan said he just passed a bill that works to help with prevention and treatment. “It’s a big problem, and it’s not going to go away anytime soon,” Sullivan said. Sullivan said he’s also working on the POWER Act, which

32 people, some of them former Trump campaign aides. “I am horrified at the direction this country has taken,” Williams said, adding, “We can’t have these erosions of our democracy.” The attorney general’s ousting was widely expected after Tuesday’s midterm elections. Trump has repeatedly criticized Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia probe. In naming Sessions’ successor, Trump passed over Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, instead selecting Whitaker, Sessions’ chief of staff. Rosenstein previously oversaw the Russia probe in Sessions’ stead and was also a target of

Trump’s ire with the Justice Department. On Wednesday, a DOJ spokesperson announced that Whitaker will oversee the Mueller investigation, not Rosenstein. Whitaker is a former CNN commentator and U.S. attorney. In August of last year, he argued in a CNN article that Mueller’s investigation has gone too far by investigating Trump and his family’s finances. Trump critics have argued that evidence of financial crimes, even ones unconnected to the 2016 election, could help Mueller’s team get to the bottom of possible collusion Nearly 100 people show up to protest President Donald Trump’s appointment of Matthew Whitabetween Trump and the Krem- ker, as former Rep.

stocked with supplies he would need, according to the sentencing memo. The camp was in the woods roughly 400 feet from his mother’s house in Port Graham. Rodriguez reported to Meganack’s mother in the early hours of Nov. 30, 2016 a number of falsified facts to make the case that Meganack had disappeared. According to the U.S. Attorney’s report of the case, Rodriguez told his mother that she and Meganack had gotten into a fight, and that he had left, drunk, in the skiff. She also told his mother that the skiff was “not working well.” This triggered an involved search and rescue effort that involved local Port Graham residents, the Alaska State Troopers, the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak and other Coast Guard resources, and Alaska State Parks rangers. When Meganack was indicted with the federal charges back in July 2017, it was reported the search cost $310,897.50 from the Coast Guard alone. That price tag was updated in the new press release, which reported the Coast Guard expenditures

of disorderly conduct. Once back in custody, Meganack appeared in state court to plead guilty to the single count of third-degree sexual assault in his Anchorage case and was given the 15-year sentence in June 2017, according to online court records. All other charges in that case were dismissed. When authorities found Meganack, they also found a semiautomatic rifle, and he was subsequently charged federally with one count of false distress and one count of felon in possession of a firearm. U.S. District Judge Sharon Gleason, who presided over the federal case, said Meganack’s actions had “an enormous impact” on both the Port Graham community and on the Coast Guard, according to the release. She said those actions needlessly put “so many at risk.” The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrea Hattan. Meganack was also ordered to pay restitution to the Coast Guard.

can tell you right now, that Alaska is open for business,” Dunleavy said. He pledged to make resource development — a commonly used euphemism for mining, drilling and logging — the cornerstone of his economic policy. “You’re going to be at the cornerstone and forefront of everything we’re doing,” he said. He pledged to do it quickly as well. “You’re going to have to put on your seatbelts because this is not going to be a slow crawl,” he said. He emphasized that his interest in mining is not limited to metallic mines like Red Dog in

would require U.S. Attorney’s offices to promote pro bono legal services for survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence. “This will sound jarring, but it’s truthful that if you’re an accused rapist, under the Sixth Amendment you get a right to counsel,” Sullivan said. “That’s what you get for free if you need it. The survivor, the victim, gets nothing. In my view, that’s just wrong. This bill will try and correct that.” After the presentation, Sullivan told the Clarion he was pleased with the state’s election results Tuesday night. “To me, the most important thing we can be doing right now in Alaska is bringing this

real dynamic economy and economic growth to our state,” Sullivan said. “Super low unemployment, super high economic growth, which is what’s happening nationally. It really hasn’t hit us yet. I think we’re on the verge of hitting it.” Sullivan said he was really glad Alaskans defeated Alaska Ballot Measure 1. Nationally, election results were a mixed bag, he said. “I’m not thrilled that Nancy Pelosi is going to be Speaker of the House,” Sullivan said. “She’s not somebody who cares about the Alaska economy. She’s somebody who wants to rescind the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge legislation. She won’t be able to do it, be-

cause the Senate and the Trump Administration wouldn’t allow it. I have doubts about her commitment to seriously continuing to rebuild the military, which is something that’s important to the state and nation. It looks like we expanded our majority, which I think is good for Alaska.” Even with the U.S. House of Representatives having a Democrat majority, Sullivan expects to continue bipartisan efforts. “I’m going to continue what I always do, which is reaching across the aisle on issues that I care about and that matter to Alaskans. I just hope that Speaker Pelosi will not be so extreme that she shuts down any kind of things like that.”

to be closer to $384,261. “When searchers found Meganack’s skiff, the motor was down, its throttle was forward, the key was in the ‘on’ position, and inside was a single rubber boot and an empty bottle of liquor,” according to the release. Troopers got a tip on Dec. 1, 2016, that Meganack might be

hiding in Port Graham instead of missing. It was then they discovered his scheduled change of plea hearing in Anchorage. It turns out Rodriguez, “wracked by guilt after seeing how distraught Defendant’s family was,” had told Meganack’s mother that he was really alive and in hiding, according to

the sentencing memorandum. His mother reported that to a local tribal leader, who passed the tip on to troopers. Rodriguez cooperated and told authorities where he was hiding in the makeshift shelter.

the Northwest Arctic Borough. (Dunleavy’s daughters work at the mine.) “That’s right, coal. Not just lead-zinc, but coal. Coal is going to be part of it,” he said. Alaska’s only operating commercial coal mine is the Usibelli Coal Mine in Healy, near Denali National Park. Demand for coal from the mine has plunged in recent years, causing problems for the local community and the Alaska Railroad, which relied on revenue from coal shipments for much of its operating budget. Dunleavy also offered support for the under-development Don-

lin Mine in southwest Alaska. In his first public address since winning the statewide election on Tuesday, Dunleavy thanked Gov. Walker and Democratic candidate Mark Begich. “Mark is an Alaskan, born and raised here, and I think he wants what we want, which is a great Alaska. We just disagree on how to get there,” Dunleavy said. In addition to naming Babcock his chief of staff, Dunleavy appointed his campaign manager, Brett Huber, as a senior policy adviser. Ward said Huber will be developing policy positions for the new administration.

The building, which houses the police department, the fire department, the dispatch center and Kenai’s data center, is deemed critical to Kenai’s infrastructure. The city will purchase portable radios with the remaining $55,350. “The portable radios currently in use are nearing the end of this maintenance life,” Ross said. “This grant will replace approximately twenty percent of the public safety

portable radios.” The Homeland Security Program grants do not require a monetary match from the city. “I appreciate the effort by our police chief and our fire chief for the work that they put in to get this grant, because it is very substantial and it goes a long way,” Kenai Mayor Peter Gabriel said. “I know these radios are expensive, and they do take a beating. They need to be replaced. When you need them you need them, that’s vital equipment.” Reach Kat Sorensen at ksorensen@peninsulaclarion. com.

Daughter given everything gives heartache in return DEAR DAD: I would look back and examine all the things I did to foster her behavior. An example would be paying for her divorce. Then I would stop doing them and not resume until she agreed to consult a psychotherapist about her mood swings. Don’t do it for her or for yourself. Do it for the sake of your Abigail Van Buren grandchildren. DEAR ABBY: Before I met my boyfriend of eight months, I planned a 10-day Japan vacation for next year with my best guy friend, “J.” We have been friends for eight years, and have never had any romantic interest in each other. Both of us want to visit Japan because it’s on our bucket list. J and I were both single when we started making plans. Then I met my boyfriend. My boyfriend knew from the beginning that this trip was going to happen next year. Because the date wasn’t “set in stone” or paid for until recently, my boyfriend thinks I should have called it off. He says I’m making the trip and my friend a higher priority than him, and his feelings are

hurt. He said if I was going with a female friend he wouldn’t care. I still want to take the trip. I feel canceling would be betraying my friend J. Am I being a bad girlfriend? -- TRIPPED UP IN THE EAST DEAR TRIPPED UP: A “bad” girlfriend? No. An independent one, yes. You say your boyfriend has known about this from the beginning, so this wasn’t a surprise to him. If he was more secure about himself and your relationship, he would know that J isn’t a threat. Not only should you take the trip, you should also use the time away to decide if you want a life partner as insecure as your boyfriend appears to be.

LOSE FOR A CRUISE? Dear Heloise: A while ago, Maggie J. in Orlando offered tips on what to pack for a cruise. She mentioned taking an extension cord and a power strip. Please let your readers know that some cruise lines do not allow these two items. This is for everyone’s safety. Contact the cruise line to find out what’s allowed and what is not. -- Carol S., Dayton, Ohio SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

Every time I make potato salad, the next day it is watery. -- Barbara F., via email Barbara, cut up your potatoes before cooking them, and let them completely cool off afterward before adding dressing. Hot potatoes give off steam and contribute to the watery problems. You also might consider using russet potatoes, as they tend to be drier. Don’t use a “light” mayonnaise, because it usually is thinner. -- Heloise CAST IRON RESTORATION Dear Heloise: My mother gave me a cast iron skillet that has rust spots on it. How can I clean it? -- Gwendolyn in Arkansas Gwendolyn, the best method for cleaning a rusty cast iron skillet is to use a nonmetallic scrubber to remove the rust, then wash afterward with a mild soap, making sure to rinse well and dry with a clean towel. Reseason the skillet by coating it (inside and out) with an unsalted vegetable shortening. Place the greased skillet upside down on a foil-covered baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Let cool, then remove excess grease with a paper towel. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: Ever since high school, our adult daughter has had mood swings. My wife and I thought she’d grow out of it as she matured, but she hasn’t. At her request we sent her to a university far away, and we were proud that she earned her bachelor’s degree. We thought independent living would do the trick, but her personality and behavior toward us didn’t change. She’s an only child, and we spoiled her -- bought her cars and paid for college. I asked her to try for scholarships to help us out, but she didn’t. She married and had two wonderful kids, but her mood swings persist. When I mentioned she see a counselor or therapist as a way to get some third-party advice and sort things out, she hit the ceiling and told me I was the one who needs therapy. Then she brought up my flaws and my past drinking problem. Granted, I have made mistakes, and I’m not perfect, but I’ve learned and grown. After 10 years she divorced her husband. She got custody of the kids and the house. Her divorce cost us a great deal of money. Her authoritative and moody behavior is affecting our grandchildren. I love my daughter very much and always have. If you were in my shoes, Abby, what would you do for a more healthy and loving relationship for all involved? -- STILL HER DAD IN FLORIDA
