Permit stacking debated C

Fish board to continue permit discussion today By Rashah McChesney Peninsula Clarion

ANCHORAGE — The Alaska Board of Fisheries on Saturday took up a proposal to eliminate permit stacking in Cook Inlet commercial fisheries. While the board ultimately voted the measure down, a board generated proposal that would limit the amount of gear a two-permit holder could have in the water is set to be taken up today. The board generated proposal would require a commercial setnet fisher — who can operate an aggregate length of set gillnets of 210 feet in length — to operate no more than 105 feet of gillnet at the 29 meshes deep, a reduction of 16 meshes in depth. During the last board cycle in 2011, the board allowed a

single person to operate two legal sets of set gillnet gear in the Upper Cook Inlet if that person owned two permits; prior to 2011 a person could own two but could only fish one of them. According to Commercial Fisheries Entry Commmission, or CFEC, data from 2012, there are 736 salmon set gillnet permits in Cook Inlet. Of those, just over 83 percent belong to Alaskans. “Family is significant here,” said Tom Kluberton, board member from Talkeetna. “I heard many four generations and three generations in this inlet. I’d say the predominant on this beach are family fishing site generations.” Kluberton said he was unwilling to support the elimination of permit stacking, in part because of fresh time and

gear restrictions on the fishery passed by the board earlier this week. “We’re going to put these people through one more hoop while they’re already having enough trouble dealing with low king salmon abundance, tumbling permit prices, high costs of living, beached completely in 2012 and now in addition to everything else they’re going to start juggling permits,” Kluberton said. While attendance to deliberations and committee meetings has steadily declined since the first days of testimony, at least fifty people moved into the room during the permit stacking discussion. The Kenai River Sportfishing Association, a prominent sportfishing advocacy group, submitted the original proposal. The proposal originally

called for the elimination of permit stacking in both the commercial drift and set gillnet fisheries, however, board members approved an amendment to leave the drift fishery untouched, focusing instead on the set gillnet fishery. According to the KRSA proposal, allowing permit stacking could introduce more setnet gear in the inlet by bringing long-time latent permits back into use in the fishery. According to CFEC data on the number of latent permits, 575 permits of the 736 in the fishery were used to record a landing in 2012 and the agency estimates a latency rate of about 22 percent. During his testimony, Kluberton said he did not believe latent permits were going to See PERMIT, page A-2

A ballot measure calling for a constitutional amendment to allow public funds to go to private schools has been a hotly contested issue in the state senate and has educators on the Kenai Peninsula pondering the implications to public education. Senate Joint Resolution 9 passed through the Senate Finance Committee Wednesday following two days of public hearings. The amended resolution, if it reaches the ballot, would allow the use of public money for private and religious school institutions. A companion measure, House Joint Reso-

lution 1, is being debated in that body. Dr. Steve Atwater, superintendent for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, said while the board has not officially taken a stance on SJR 9, he said he has some concerns regarding the implications the amendment would have on public schools. Details need to be flushed out — specifically the issues of public money for private education, he said. “I am not threatened by the bill as long as private schools are held to the same standards as public schools,” he said. “I worry (passage of bill) could further segregate those who can See AMEND, page A-2

Gov: Comments are not a threat By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — Gov. Sean Parnell said Friday that he wasn’t threatening the Ketchikan Gateway Borough when he said its lawsuit against the state over school funding could “shade or color” reaction to the community’s requests for state money to fund infrastructure projects. Parnell told The Associated Press that the comments he made to Ketchikan reporters about how he and lawmakers could view the borough’s capital appropriations requests weren’t intended to be retaliatory. The Republican governor said he simply gave an honest answer to the Ketchikan Daily News on Thursday when he said it could be hard for legislators to separate the lawsuit from borough budget requests.

He made similar comments to KRBD radio. Parnell said that when he was drafting his budget request for next fiscal year, the prospect of a lawsuit was pending and he did not hold it against Ketchikan, “and wouldn’t. That’s just not who I am.” “Fairness and equity is a given. It’s just that, there are 60 others who will be making those kinds of decisions as well,” he said, referring to the Legislature’s 60 members. The lawsuit seeks to strike down required local contributions to school districts, which the borough contends are unconstitutional and result in incorporated areas being treated differently than unincorporated areas, which do not have to contribute.

Flint Hills refinery closure puts fuel market in flux By TIM BRADNER Morris News Service-Alaska Alaska Journal of Commerce

Flint Hills Resources will cease refining operations at its North Pole refinery near Fairbanks this spring, the company announced Feb. 4 in a press release. The extraction unit at the refinery will be shut down on May 1, ending gasoline production. Crude Oil Processing Unit No. 2 will shut down shortly thereafter, depending on op-

erational requirements, but no later than June 1, according to the company. Flint Hills will continue marketing activities in Interior Alaska, the company said. The closure of Unit No. 2 will end production of jet fuel and all other refined products. The company will continue to market fuels through its terminals in Anchorage and Fairbanks. Supply for those terminals will come from other sources, Flint Hills announced. The loss of refinery jobs will

Alaska. “This has been a difficult decision made after a long, thorough and deliberative process,” said Mike Brose, a company vice president and the refinery manager. The refinery has faced difficult economic conditions in recent years, mainly the loss of jet fuel sales to air carriers in Anchorage due to fuel imports and less demand. However, Brose said the financial liability of soil and groundwater contamination left by previous

owners were a major factor in the decision. “Our company has spent an enormous amount of money and resources addressing soil and groundwater contamination that was caused when Williams owned the refinery and the State of Alaska owned the land underneath it,” Brose said in the press release. “So far, neither Williams nor the State of Alaska have accepted any responsibility for the cleanup. With the already extremely difficult refining

market conditions, the added burden of excessive costs and uncertainties over future cleanup responsibilities make continued refining operations impossible.” Gov. Sean Parnell said he spoke with top company officials Feb. 4, the day the closure was announced. “I was told market forces were the major factor, but that contamination issues that seemed unresolvable played a big part. It was an accumulation See FLUX, page A-5

Alaska’s proposed liquefied natural gas line project would add between 9,000 and 15,000 jobs to the state market, said Dianne Blumer, state Department of Labor and Workforce Development commissioner, at a Thursday meeting. Blumer was the guest speaker at the Juneau Chamber of Commerce’s weekly luncheon at the

providing the pipeline project with ample workers, she said. “It’s a big order for how we’re going to fill that labor force and how we’re going to train them,” Blumer said.

She also reported Alaska’s workplace safety. Workplace deaths have decreased steadily over the past few decades, Blumer said. In 2012, 30 workers died on the job, she said, eight less than the year before. She said Alaska is one of 17 states to have recovered all jobs lost during the recession. Juneau’s workforce is made up of 17,825 people, she said. Currently, Alaska’s unemployment rate is 6.4 percent; Juneau’s is See JOBS, page A-2

discussion on how a compromise can be reached between private and public education, she said. “A lot of teacher workforce express fear that this will decimate schools,” she said. “To say decimate is an over dramatization.” Atwater said it is frustrating to throw a bill to voters without a sense of where to go without further details and discussions. While he acknowledges school choice as a good thing, his main concern is, with budget cuts looming, that district funding will not be further affected by more students added to the mix of public dollars. “It is important to note that the school district is in favor of offering kids options,” he said. “It is wrong to box anyone in a corner. I think the present process works fine and don’t see the need to change.” Education continues to be a top priority during the current legislative session, Giessel said. “Education is what predicts a person’s productivity,” she said. “We are making sure we have the best school system possible.” Giessel said she is impressed with the work Atwater has accomplished at KPBSD. In 2013, Atwater was named the state’s Superintendent of the Year. She said he is a wise man who keeps the students’ best interests in mind. Atwater said he is encouraged by Gov. Sean Parnell’s recent State of the State address when he emphasized his education bill. More discussions in the legislature regarding the importance of strengthening Alaska’s education system can only be a good thing going forward, he said. Four members of the Finance Committee recommended advancing SJR 9: Dunleavy, Sen. Kevin Meyer, R-Anchorage, Anna Fairclough, R-Eagle River and Pete Kelly, R-Fairbanks. SJR 9 is headed for the Rules Committee and needs twothirds majority in both House and Senate to go onto the November ballot.

lowing setnetters to fish the upcoming fishing season under the current configuration — eventually the board had to stand down to clarify what it would be doing with the proposed regulation. Kluberton said the board had just allowed permit stacking in the inlet three years before and should consider the impact

on business when changing it again. “I think it’s just wrong for this board to tumble these business plans over every three years,” he said. “We walk in, we put a regulation in place, come back three years later and tip it upside down… I just find that I can’t buy into that. I can’t put an individual, a

4.6 percent. The majority of the DOL’s funds go toward developing Alaska’s job market, Blumer said. “About 60 percent of our budget is focused on workforce development,” she said. This includes programs that train youth to be hireable once they leave high school, as well as job placement for veterans and people leaving Alaska’s prison system. Partnerships with privately owned operations like the Greens Creek and Kensington mines allows the department to reach the most people, she said. “But our biggest partner is you,” Blumer said, addressing the chamber crowd. “We can’t do workforce development without business industry involvement.” C

the refinery’s former owner. “Rather than waiting for a reaction, I urge you and your leadership team to take a personal interest in the contamination issue,” Begich wrote in a letter to the governor, the Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported. “The quicker

a settlement protecting the interests of the State of Alaska and Alaskans can be reached, the better chance we have of making this refinery productive again.” The decision to close the refining operations will cost about 80 jobs.

assembly member and a plaintiff in the case, called Parnell’s comments unfortunate. She said the lawsuit was a last resort, filed after the borough tried unsuccessfully for years to have its concerns addressed. “We go forward,” she said of the case. “I refuse to live in fear of my government.” Parnell told the AP anyone can make a constitutional challenge if they feel aggrieved. But “if an individual thinks that very soon the transmission may fall out of the car, they’re going to treat new investments in the car through the lens of a little more skepticism and greater

scrutiny,” he said. “What I was commenting on was what I’m hearing from legislators and the lens, as I said, that requests get filtered through at this point.” He declined to say which legislators have been talking that way. “To pretend like it doesn’t exist would not be honest, either,” he said later. “And I’ve been very forthright with people when they ask me questions.” Republican Rep. Peggy Wilson, who represents Ketchikan, said she had concerns about possible fallout from the lawsuit, which she said she supported “with hesitation.”

She said she will continue to work to do what she can for her communities. Ketchikan City Mayor Lew Williams said there has been concern about how the Legislature or governor’s office might respond to a lawsuit. The city itself is not part of the lawsuit, a point he stressed. Williams said he met with Parnell about projects Thursday. He said the governor has been good to Ketchikan and he wasn’t concerned with Parnell’s comments. “He’s just probably stating a fact, that it could have a negative effect,” he said.

Obituaries Trevor Adon Cunningham Trevor Adon Cunningham passed away Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2014 at age 29 in a single-vehicle commercial accident on East End Road in Homer after a mechanical failure caused his vehicle to run off the road. Born in Soldotna June 2, 1984, Trevor was forever an Alaskan at heart. He loved anything with an engine, adventure, beer and late night bonfires, but most dearly his family and friends-that-became family. He attended Soldotna Elementary School, Soldotna Middle School and Soldotna High School, but later graduated from Kenai Alternative High School before going on to work in a variety of industries from restaurants to the oil field. He met his soul mate, Shannan Carter in 2008 and they later married in Homer, in June of 2013. He spent his days working hard to support his family, but always had a smile on his face knowing it was all for his children and their future home he planned to begin building in the spring of 2014. He was all theirs in his off-time, whether it was snowmachining in the Caribou Hills, football games across the state, or just quiet evenings at home. He is survived by his wife, Shannan, and four children, Shelby Hardy, Austin Hardy, Gage Hancock, and Dillan Cunningham; as well as his father, Ralph E. Cunningham; his mother, Debora A. Lee; two brothers, Brice Cunningham and Cameron Ewing; four sisters, Stacy Cunningham, Tracy Cunningham, Amanda Vin Zant, and Audrey Scott; three nieces, eleven nephews, and innumerable friends. Trevor had a fiery personality and heart too big for his own good sometimes that ignited happiness in everyone he met and all those who knew him loved him for it. He never liked to see people sad, and had expressed before his passing that he did not want a service or viewing. There is a donation fund for his family set up at Wells Fargo, the Bridges Cunningham Family Fund. His family asks that those who knew him honor his memory by “living their lives with a smile” Arrangements made by Peninsula Memorial Chapel & Crematory.

Community must find solution to keep pool open Facing a potential funding shortfall

of $4.5 million, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District’s administration and board of education are going to be making some tough decisions in the coming months — and some of them are not going to be popular. That was certainly the case last Monday, when the board heard from numerous members of the community about the future of the pool at Skyview High School. The school will become a middle school for the 2014-15 school year, and the pool is on the chopping block. There are good reasons to keep the pool open. Incorporating a swimming curriculum for middle school students would provide tremendous benefits, both in terms of teaching water safety in an area chock full of rivers and lakes, as well as providing them with a fitness and recreation activity they can pursue for the rest of their lives. Indeed, hundreds of people of all ages and all walks of life take advantage of access to the pools in our area, not just at Skyview, but also at Soldotna High, Kenai Central High, and in Nikiski. They are used for lap swims, free swims, water aerobics, swim lessons, even physical therapy. It would be a shame to lose a community asset valued and utilized by so many people. That said, facing a significant deficit, the school district’s priority needs to be on students in the classroom. Providing opportunities for community recreation should not come at the expense of classroom needs. There are alternatives. Finding a non-profit organization to partner with is not unprecedented. In Kenai, for example, the Boys and Girls Club has taken over management of the city’s recreation center and teen center, with positive results. Another option might be to establish a borough service area to use property taxes to help with operation of the central peninsula’s school pools for community use. In Nikiski, the North Peninsula Recreation Service Area, was established to construct and maintain recreation facilities. Both of those options might take some time to establish. In the mean time, there are organizations, such as the Rasmuson Foundation, that provide grants to communities to enhance recreation opportunities. And there’s a chance that our legislators in Juneau may be able to find some funding that could be used to keep the facility running — in addition to helping this school district and others around the state meet budget shortfalls. The bottom line is that if the community wants to find a way to keep the Skyview pool open, members are of the community are going to have to work with the school district to find a solution.

Small film vs. Academy ethics In a world where Woody Allen can get a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globes at the same time his adopted daughter accuses him of sexually abusing her when she was a child (Allen has repeatedly denied it), and where a film “The Wolf of Wall Street” sets a record for use of the F-word, it is a wonderment that an obscure, low-budget film called “Alone Yet Not Alone” has had its Best Original Song Oscar nomination withdrawn for allegedly violating ethical rules. The Los Angeles Times writes that Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, “told The Times that the ‘key point’ in the academy’s nullification of (songwriter Bruce) Broughton’s nomination was its violation of Rule 5.3, requiring that the credits of composer and lyricist be removed from the DVD of eligible songs sent to members of the music branch. “‘The idea,’ Isaacs says, ‘is that people are voting solely for the song and not who wrote it.’ By emailing branch members, Broughton, a former academy governor and current member of the music branch’s executive committee, violated that anonymity.” Big-budget films spend large amounts of money campaigning for Oscars with full-page ads in Variety and other trade publications, as well as glitzy parties for Academy members. Studios send DVDs “for your consideration” to members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA). Is any of that campaigning anonymous? How does a low-budget film with far fewer resources get noticed, if

not by campaigning? Why does emailing voters, even if a technicality was breached, violate the rules when splashy ads, parties and the mailing of DVDs to Academy members do not? Cal Thomas One clue may be in the visceral reaction to the film itself from the secularprogressive left. It is a movie made by a Christian group. Despite a record of large profits and high TV ratings for films with a Christian message, they continue to embarrass some filmmakers, who apparently think Americans spend their days swearing at one another, having promiscuous sex, shooting people, blowing up stuff and driving fast. In a smarmy article on The Daily Beast website titled “Bible Thumpers’ Oscar Fail,” the film is characterized as having been made by an independent group headed by a “sugar daddy of the religious right” and members of “the right-wing evangelical filmmaking world.” Maybe the film should be rated “W” for wholesomeness and its message about God not abandoning people in distress. Does the secular left fear such a film might lead some people to rely on a power higher than the federal government? It’s doubtful any of the film’s critics have seen the movie as it had only a oneweek run last September in selected cities to qualify for Oscar consideration. A wider release is scheduled for this sum-

mer, but the secular left only has to hear “evangelical,” “conservative” and above all “Christian” to set them attacking like rabid dogs. If anyone cares about the film’s plot at this point, the website Yahoo! Movies describes it as “...an alleged true-life tale from 1755 of two young sisters kidnapped by Native Americans after a raid on their family farm.” The girls maintain their faith, which helps them endure and overcome their circumstances. The production company, Enthuse Entertainment, based in San Antonio, Texas, describes itself as making “God-honoring, faith-based, family-friendly films that inspire the human spirit to seek and know God.” Given this parentage, it’s a miracle the song was nominated. The title song is sung by painter, author and speaker Joni Earackson Tada, a quadriplegic, who is known and respected among many evangelicals. Whether “Alone Yet Not Alone” deserves an Oscar should be up to the voters, not the Academy hierarchy. Whatever its merits, the title sounds more appealing than the 2005 Best Original Song winner, “It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp.” Maybe the only bad publicity is no publicity. The controversy over this song has lifted the film from obscurity. Regardless, the Academy should restore the song’s nomination because of the clear advantage in money, promotion — and, yes, campaigning — that other nominated songs have enjoyed.

Ready for the stupid bowls? It was touted as Bill O’Reilly’s interview of President Barack Obama, but it was more like O’Reilly having a conversation with himself, as the president struggled to get a word in edgewise. It’s become part of the garish rites of the Super Bowl, at least when Fox comes up in the rotation. Some might wonder why Mr. Obama is willing to even appear on a network he agrees is “unfair” to him. But why not? It gives both him and O’Reilly the chance to sing to their choirs. He also offers a contrast to the Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, who keeps threatening to boycott news organizations that displease him. First it was CNN, which folded and withdrew plans to present a Hillary Clinton biopic down the road after Priebus promised to shut out the network. Now it’s MSNBC he insisted he’d freeze out unless there was an apology for an authorized Twitter note about how “the rightwing” would go bonkers over a Cheerios ad that featured a mixed-race family. The apology was forthcoming — and rightfully so, because the tweet was too broad — but at some point Priebus needs to be told that he doesn’t determine coverage and if he tries, he won’t have to worry about turning down requests to go on. There won’t be any. What’s that? The Super Bowl is about football? Sometimes it’s hard to remember. That might be a good thing, considering what a stinker this year’s game was. C

That’s really OK, since there was so much equally important shtick that filled the time since the two-week spectacle began. Remember how it started with the rant by Seattle cornerback Richard Bob Franken Sherman. He managed to immediately flush out all the bigots. They were there to the end, finally spewing their hatred over the Coca-Cola ad that featured “America the Beautiful” performed in a variety of languages, by a multicultural cast, including a gay family. The haters made sure we couldn’t forget America has some ugliness under our spacious skies. Let’s not forget all the obscenely costly ads. They’re less about their products than they are about themselves. They’re also a stark illustration of how corporations control the agenda. What a metaphor. What’s so interesting is some of the most appealing commercials, like the ones for Coke, Budweiser and Doritos, sell stuff that is harmful to our health. Sugar soft drinks are a major contributor to our obesity epidemic and, as a new study points out, a singular cause of heart problems, to say nothing, of diabetes, etc. Beer, no matter how cute the puppies and horses are, delivers alcohol to our systems, and Doritos are the antithesis

of good nutrition. The spot we should have seen, but didn’t because it was too expensive, is the one that reminded us that one of the teams in the NFL has a name that is a slur. Perhaps it’s poetic justice that the Washington, D.C., franchise is such a miserable organization that it hasn’t gotten anywhere near the Super Bowl in a long time. After all the hype, more than 111 million people watched the other Washington roll over Denver. But suddenly it was done with, like that old saying about Chinese food, where a short time after a huge meal we’re hungry again. Now we’ve moved on to the Winter Olympics. We’re finding it hard to resist the fascination with the fresh competition, combined with a morbid curiosity about the danger from terrorists and Vladimir Putin’s ironhanded security. It’s brought to you on almost every device imaginable, meaning one doesn’t even need to be part of the National Security Agency to see everything there is to see. What goes on in Sochi definitely won’t stay there. At least President Obama won’t be a star player. He’s staying away, and it’s Putin filling the void. One piece of good news: At the same time, baseball’s spring training begins. So there’s hope. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Amendment bill advances By MIKE COPPOCK Associated Press

JUNEAU — A proposal to move a constitutional amendment to the ballot that would allow use of public funds for private and religious schools advanced from the House Education Committee on Friday. HJR 1 advanced on a 4-3 vote. It next goes to the House Judiciary Committee. Four Republicans voted for passage, and two Republicans joined a Democrat in voting against it. HJR1, from Wasilla Republican Rep. Wes Keller, would strike a provision in the state constitution prohibiting use of public funds for the direct benefit of private and religious schools.

of economic issues. It isn’t accurate to say it was any thing,” he said. The governor said had met with Flint Hills last fall regarding groundwater contamination issues at the refinery. “It is the state’s responsibility to ensure safe groundwater and Flint Hills has done a good job in supply drinking water to people who are affected.” In that meeting the company expressed displeasure that Williams Companies has not stepped up to its responsibility on contamination, but also displeasure at the state’s hard line on the groundwater contamination, the governor said. “I spoke to the Commissioner of Environmental Conservation, Larry Hartig, and the Attorney General to make sure we are being reasonable but also instructed them to ensure we C

It also would add, in a section of the constitution that says public money cannot be appropriated except for a public purpose, that nothing in that section shall prevent payment of public funds “for the direct educational benefit of students as provided by law.” Republican Reps. Paul Seaton of Homer and Peggy Wilson of Wrangell along with Democratic Rep. Harriet Drummond of Anchorage voted against advancing the measure. Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, R-Anchorage, voted in favor, though she expressed mixed feelings. “On one hand, let’s say you live in an affluent area like Gross Pointe and you don’t like the Detroit police department. You

don’t go out and get a voucher to start your own police force,” LeDoux told the committee. “On the other hand, a lot of what is in our constitution is due to the Blaine Amendment, which was blatantly anti-Catholic.” The Blaine Amendment had been a requirement since 1876 for territories seeking statehood prohibiting public funding for religious schools and is widely seen as targeting Catholic schools. Alaska placed such language into its constitution when it submitted its application for statehood in 1958. It has been pointed to in the debate over whether Alaska should now fund private schools and during public testimony on HJR1 by the House Education Committee.

LeDoux told the committee she was voting to advance it to House Judiciary, where the legal issues could be debated. She is also a member of that panel. Her vote was the deciding vote for advancement. Seaton noted the proposal could negatively affect funding for public schools and sets no standards by the state for private schools to follow. Wilson said her vote was due in part to the fact it had not been properly vetted. She told the committee the “bottom line” is, if the amendment is approved by voters, the state will be financing private schools. “We need to look at the unintended consequences of this bill,” Wilson said.

are protecting the public from groundwater contamination,” Parnell said. One other small refinery operates in the Interior region, a plant owned and operated by Petro Star Inc. The state of Alaska has been supplying Flint Hills with stateowned royalty oil. The returned residual oil is a major source of heat for crude oil flowing through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System to Valdez — the southern terminus of the pipeline. During the winter, the crude temperature in TAPS drops as it flows south of Prudhoe Bay, creating potential operating problems for the pipeline, but the oil is warmed when Flint Hills returns residual oil to the pipeline. The refinery near Fairbanks is approximately at the halfway point of the 800-mile pipeline. “We are not totally dependent on this (returned oil), however, as we have other ways of adding heat to the pipeline,”

said Michelle Egan, a spokeswoman for Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. Alyeska is now warming the oil itself by recirculating crude at Pump Stations 7 and 9, and will soon add new capabilities to add heat at Pump Station 5, she said. The returned oil to TAPS from Flint Hills is of less benefit to Alyeska in any event because Flint Hills has installed facilities to extract much of the heat as a source of energy for refinery operations. “The oil returned is cooler than it was, so it is less important to them,” said Kevin Banks, commercial manager at the state Division of Oil and Gas, who monitors crude oil issues for state royalty purposes. Flint Hills has been draw-

ing about 82,000 barrels per day to 84,000 barrels per day from TAPS, with about 22,000 to 25,000 barrels per day used to make products, according to state documents prepared in September 2013 for sales of state royalty oil. The balance is returned to TAPS as residual oil. At those throughput volumes Flint Hills would produce about 143,000 gallons of gasoline per day, 41,000 gallons of home heating oil per day and 68,000 to 194,000 gallons per day of various products such as naphtha, asphalt, a small volume of high sulfur diesel and other products, according to the state documents prepared by the Division of Oil and Gas. The closure of the refinery has implications for the state-

Iditarod start could move to Fairbanks FAIRBANKS (AP) — The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race’s competitive starting point could move hundreds of miles north to Fairbanks because of poor trail conditions. Race officials sent an email to mushers Friday saying the conditions in the Alaska Range may force the 1,000-mile race to start in Fairbanks instead of Willow, which is about 50 miles north of Anchorage, The Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported Saturday. Race officials said a decision on the starting point will be made on Feb. 17. “We do have trail concerns from the top of Rainy Pass to Nikolai,” Iditarod race manager Mark Nordman wrote in an email. “Because of these concerns, a contingency plan will be used if the Alaska Range conditions are not acceptable.” The ceremonial kickoff is scheduled for March 1 in Anchorage and the official start is set for the next day in Willow. If the race moves to Fairbanks, the competitive start would move to March 3 to give mushers time to drive 360 miles north. The ceremonial start date would remain the same. Four-time Iditarod champion Jeff King said Saturday that he’s not bothered by a possible change in location. King said he trusts the judgment of Iditarod officials to provide the safest trail possible for dogs and mushers.

owned Alaska Railroad Corp. The railroad has recently been shipping about 3.5 million gallons of jet fuel per week on five trains, according to railroad spokesman Tim Sullivan. “(Flint Hills) has been a very important customer to us and we’re still trying to review what this means for the Alaska Railroad,” Sullivan said. Banks, at the Division of Oil and Gas, said that some of the fuel shipped south on the railroad by Flint Hills will be offset by fuel shipped north to replace the refinery’s supply in Interior markets, but that the northbound shipments of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel probably won’t offset the loss of jet fuel shipped south for the railroad. Ted Stevens International

Airport manager John Parrott said that since 2009, Flint Hills-refined jet fuel has accounted for about one-third of the roughly 600 million gallons of fuel used by airlines in Anchorage annually. In 2007, before the recession slowed flight activity at the airport, Flint Hills fuel made up about 600 million of the 900 million gallons consumed at the airport during the year, he said. That 300 million-gallon drop equates almost exactly to the capacity of Tower 3 at the refinery, a unit that was shut down by Flint Hills, Parrott said.

Drought-rattled California welcomes weekend storm

AP Photo/Jeff Chiu

A woman carries an umbrella as she crosses the street with lanterns from Chinatown hanging behind her in San Francisco, Friday. Dry California got a much needed taste of rain, but drought-watchers hope it was just a teaser for a much wetter weekend. A bigger storm expected to arrive late Friday and last through Sunday could dump as much as 2 feet of snow on the slopes of the Sierra and 6 inches of rain on San Francisco Bay Area mountains.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Californians accustomed to complaining about the slightest change in the weather welcomed a robust weekend storm that soaked the northern half of the drought-stricken state Saturday even as rain and snow brought the threat of avalanches, flooding and rock slides. The storm that moved in Friday, powered by a warm, moisture-packed system from the Pacific Ocean known as a Pineapple Express, had dropped more than 7 inches of

rain on Marin County’s Mt. Tamalpais, an average of 4 inches in Sonoma County and one to three inches in San Francisco, San Jose and other urban areas, National Weather Service hydrologist Mark Strudley said. With areas north of San Francisco forecast to see another few inches by Sunday, the downpour was ample enough to flood roadways and prompt warnings that parched streams could be deluged to the point of overflowing, but by itself will not solve the state’s drought

worries, Strudley said. “The yearly rainfall around here, depending on where you were, was less than 10 percent of normal,” he said. “The additions from this last series of storms and the totals are taking a dent out of it, but it is not a significant dent.” Still, seeing the water levels in a local reservoir and his backyard pond creeping up and small streams flowing again cheered Willits City Councilman Bruce Barton. Willits, a city in the heart of redwood country that usually sees about 50 inches of rain a year and was expected to get about four inches over the weekend, is one of 17 rural communities that California’s Department of Public Health recently described as dangerously low on water. “It’s guarded optimism. We are a long ways from where we need to be, but we have to start with some sort of a raindrop,” Barton said. The storm deposited a foot of snow of on the top of Lake Tahoe ski resorts that have relied on man-made snow for much of the season, and elevations above 7,500 feet were expected to get another foot or two by Sunday, said Holly Osborne, a National Weather

Service meteorologist in Sacramento. The additions, which followed some brief periods of snow in the last week, already have improved the outlook for the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which provides about a third of California’s water supply. When state surveyors last checked on Jan. 30, the snow pack was at 12 percent of normal for this time of winter. By Saturday, it was at 17 percent of normal. “At least we are getting something versus nothing,” Osborne said. While the fresh snow delighted skiers and resort operators, the Sierra Avalanche Center warned Saturday that the danger of avalanches, both natural and human-triggered, was high in a wide swath of the Central Sierra Nevada because wind had blown new snow onto weak layers of existing ice and rock. Forecasters hope the storm portends an end to the persistent dry weather that has plagued the state for months and contributed to its drought emergency. Light precipitation is forecast for Wednesday and Thursday, and another storm is possible next weekend.

Around the Nation NM ambulance hijacked with sleeping worker inside ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Authorities say an Albuquerque ambulance worker catching some sleep in the back of his vehicle woke up to find himself the victim of a carjacking. Police have arrested a man and a woman accused of driving off in the ambulance around 3 a.m. Saturday while it was parked outside Lovelace Medical Center in downtown Albuquerque. Police spokesman Elder Guevara says the employee was asleep in the vehicle’s rear but was able to jump out when the ambulance slowed near an intersection. Officers then pursued the ambulance as it headed eastbound, and then westbound, on Interstate 40. The ambulance finally came to a rest on I-40, over Tramway, after authorities used spikes to deflate the ambulance’s tires. Police have not released the names of the suspects or the victim, who was uninjured.

Military plane makes emergency landing in Mass. CHICOPEE, Mass. — A U.S. military transport plane that lost cabin pressure while flying over the Atlantic Ocean has made an emergency landing at its home base in western Massachusetts. Master Sgt. Tim Huffman says the C-5B plane that was traveling from Germany to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware landed safely at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee just before 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The base says a young woman was taken to a local hospital with a minor injury. The plane lost cabin pressure at 34,000 feet shortly after 11 a.m. while flying from Ramstein Air Base with 25 passengers and crew. The incident prompted the military to deploy emergency vehicles at Pease Air National Guard Base in Portsmouth, N.H.; Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Mass.; and Westover Air Reserve Base. — The Associated Press

Hackers may have used Pa. company to hit Target By BREE FOWLER Associated Press

NEW YORK — The hackers who stole millions of customers’ credit and debit card numbers from Target may have used a Pittsburgh-area heating and refrigeration business as the back door to get in. If that was, in fact, how they pulled it off — and investigators appear to be looking at that theory — it illustrates just how vulnerable big corporations have become as they expand and connect their computer networks

to other companies to increase convenience and productivity. Fazio Mechanical Services Inc., a contractor that does business with Target, said in a statement Thursday that it was the victim of a “sophisticated cyberattack operation,” just as Target was. It said it is cooperating with the Secret Service and Target to figure out what happened. The statement came days after Internet security bloggers identified the Sharpsburg, Pa., company as the third-party vendor through which hackers penetrated Target’s computer systems.

Target has said it believes hackers broke into its vast network by first infiltrating the computers of one of its vendors. Then the hackers installed malicious software in Target’s checkout system for its estimated 1,800 U.S. stores. Experts believe the thieves gained access during the busy holiday season to about 40 million credit and debit card numbers and the personal information — including names, email addresses, phone numbers and home addresses — of as many as 70 million customers.

Cybersecurity analysts had speculated that Fazio may have remotely monitored heating, cooling and refrigeration systems for Target, which could have provided a possible entry point for the hackers. But Fazio denied that, saying it uses its electronic connection with Target to submit bills and contract proposals. The new details illustrate what can go wrong with the far-flung computer networks that big companies increasingly rely on. “Companies really have to look at the risks associated with

that,” said Ken Stasiak, CEO of SecureState, a Cleveland firm that investigates data breaches. Stasiak said industry regulations require companies to keep corporate operations such as contracts and billing separate from consumer financial information. Stasiak emphasized that the thieves would have still needed to do some serious hacking to move through Target’s network and reach the checkout system. Chester Wisniewski, an adviser for the computer security firm Sophos, said that while it may seem shocking that Target’s

systems are that connected, it is a lot cheaper for a company to manage one network rather than several. He added that while retailers are supposed to keep consumer information separate, they are not required to house it on a separate network. Still, he said he was extremely surprised to hear that the hackers may have gotten in via a billing system, saying those kinds of connections are supposed to provide extremely limited access to the other company’s network.

Ex-Port Authority head a key player in NJ scandal By DAVID B. CARUSO Associated Press

On paper, David Wildstein’s title at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was “Director of Interstate Capital Projects.” But many who worked there knew his real job — a post created just for him in 2010 — was to further Republican Gov. Chris Christie’s agenda inside the agency. That role gave Wildstein an influence that outstripped his bureaucratic title. He led efforts to give New Jersey officials more sway over authority operations. And he was seen as having unsurpassed connections to Christie’s inner circle. Now, the man who was known as the administration’s eyes and ears at the Port Authority may be the public’s best chance of knowing the truth

behind a plan last summer to purposely create days of traffic gridlock in Fort Lee, N.J., by choking off local access to the George Washington Bridge. Wildstein, who pushed through the closures after receiving an email from a Christie aide saying, “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,” has hinted in recent days that he might be willing to tell more about what the governor knew and when he knew it. Christie and his aides have responded by portraying Wildstein as a duplicitous rogue. “Bottom line — David Wildstein will do and say anything to save David Wildstein,” Christie’s spokesman, Colin Reed, wrote in a memo distributed to the governor’s supporters and some journalists. That break marks an abrupt reversal for an administration

that defended Wildstein for years, even in the face of public and private criticism that he was over-politicizing the Port Authority, intimidating the staff and meddling in operations he didn’t oversee. Wildstein, 52, joined the Port Authority as part of a wave of people with political ties who swelled its ranks shortly after Christie took office. At the time, he had no background in transportation or public works. His previous job had been as the anonymous political blogger, known as Wally Edge, behind the influential website PolitickerNJ. Under his leadership, the site became known for nonpartisan scoops on New Jersey political news. A former reporter there, Brian Murphy, said in an piece on the blog Talking Points Memo that Wildstein was “a

fiercely loyal editor and advocate” — albeit one he never actually met. Wildstein was so secretive, even his employees didn’t know his identity. Even as he ran the site, Wildstein worked as a Republican operative, following a love of rough-and-tumble politics dating back to his days as a high school classmate of Christie’s in Livingston, N.J. While still a student, Wildstein ran for a spot on the local school board — a campaign marred by a teacher’s accusation that the teenager had tricked him into signing an endorsement letter published in the town newspaper. In the mid-1980s, he had a stint on the Livingston town council and served a year as its mayor. Christie now says the two barely knew each other. “David and I were not friends

in high school,” Christie said in a news conference Jan. 9. “We didn’t travel in the same circles in high school. You know, I was the class president and athlete. I don’t know what David was doing during that period of time ... We went 23 years without seeing each other. And in the years we did see each other, we passed in the hallways.” At the Port Authority, Wildstein became a central figure in a revived power struggle between people installed by the Christie administration and officials who reported back to the governor of New York. More than once, officials on the New York side complained to their New Jersey counterparts that Wildstein was bullying employees and exercising an outsized degree of control over people he didn’t directly supervise.

The authority’s manager of the George Washington Bridge, Robert Durando, later told a legislative committee it was Wildstein’s reputation and perceived connections that kept him from asking too many questions when he was given an order to restrict access to the span from Fort Lee — and do it without telling any local authorities what was about to happen. “I was concerned about what Mr. Wildstein’s reaction would be if I did not follow his directive,” Durando said. When a Bergen County newspaper, The Record, wrote a profile of Wildstein in 2012 that noted the criticism and questioned whether he was using the agency to further a political agenda, Christie administration officials were fiercely supportive.

Future of C. African Republic Muslims imperiled By KRISTA LARSON Associated Press

DAKAR, Senegal — The mob violence wracking Central African Republic imperils the future of the country’s Muslims, with tens of thousands fleeing the daily violence and untold numbers killed. Bangui, the capital, is engulfed in an orgy of bloodshed and looting despite the presence of thousands of French and African peacekeepers. “We are in a moment where immediate action is needed to stop the killings,” Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch told The Associated Press, calling for a full-fledged U.N. peacekeeping mission. “Otherwise the future of the Muslim community of this country will be gone.” Muslims make up about 15 percent of Central African Republic’s 4.6 million people. More than 800,000 people have fled their homes —about half of those from the capital, according to the United Nations. “There are some who don’t want Muslims in this country,” Prime Minister Andre Nzapayeke said on local radio Saturday. “But when the Muslims have left the country, what happens next? The Protestants will throw out the Catholics, and then the Baptists against the Evangelists, and finally the animists? It is time we regain control and stop ourselves from plunging into an abyss.” Thousands of Muslims left Bangui in a massive convoy Friday that was jeered by crowds

of Christians. One Muslim who fell off a truck was quickly killed by the mob. Muslim women who could not get on the trucks tried to hand their children to strangers aboard the vehicles. Whole neighborhoods are abandoned and Muslims who cannot leave are hiding inside mosques that have not already been set ablaze or destroyed by angry crowds. Entire Muslim communities also have left towns in the rural northwest, sometimes only to come under attack from Christian militiamen and die while trying to get out of the anarchic country. Across a wide stretch of northwest Central African Republic, Christian militiamen known as the anti-Balaka (or anti-machete) have driven tens of thousands of Muslims out of the area. Many are seeking refuge in Chad or Cameroon, as there are few corners of Central African Republic where Muslims are an outright majority. The violence against the Muslims is in reaction to abuses perpetrated by the Muslim Seleka rebels during their 10-month rule that began last March. Seleke fighters tied their victims together and threw them off bridges to drown or be eaten by crocodiles, according to witnesses. Now that Seleka’s leader Michel Djotodia stepped down from the presidency last month and a precarious civilian interim government is in charge, it is the country’s Muslim minority that is now under assault. No one knows the true

French troops watch thousands of Muslim residents from Bangui and Mbaiki fleeing the Central African Republic capital Bangui in a mass exodus using cars, pickups, trucks, lorries and motorcycles, Friday. Tit-for-tat violence killed more than 1,000 people in Bangui alone in a matter of days in December. An untold number have died in the weeks that followed, with most of the attacks in Bangui targeting Muslims.

More than 1,000 were killed during several days of fighting in early December, when a Christian militia attempted to overthrow the Muslim rebel government then in power. A preliminary investigation into potential war crimes or crimes against humanity has been opened, Fatou Bensouda,

the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said Friday. Babacar Gaye, the U.N.’s special representative to Central African Republic, has called for the murderers to be held accountable. Yet in a country where police officers long ago fled their jobs and courthouses are shuttered and looted, it’s not even clear where to begin. Central African Republic was already one of the

world’s poorest and most lawless countries even before the March 2013 coup by Muslim rebels from the north plunged the nation into deeper crisis. When the extra French troops first arrived in early December, more than 100,000 people sought refuge at the airport they guarded in the hope it would keep them safe. That displacement camp has become a city within a city now dubbed “The Ledger” after the city’s sole five-star luxury

hotel. French defense minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told RTL radio on Thursday the military is likely to extend its mission in Central African Republic beyond the U.N.-mandated six-month mission. “We are going to avoid the worst,” Le Drian said. “By our presence we can lower tensions on the ground, to pave the way for a peaceful political transition.” That still seems like a distant goal in Central African Republic, a country with a long history of coups, rebellions and failed peace agreements. Given the unprecedented nature of the violence, no one can say how this all will end. In the lawless capital, a 19-year-old Muslim woman in the Kokoro neighborhood said a group of armed men this week had come to her house after midnight crying “It’s you Muslims!” “They gave us a minute to come to the living room or else they threatened to throw a grenade,” she said. “Four of them ripped my clothes off and raped me one by one. Another raped my sister, who is only 14 years old. They asked where our father had hid weapons in the house and we told him we didn’t have any. “After that, I cannot say that the situation is improving for us,” she said. “We are Muslims, yes, but we are also Central Africans. Where will we go? We were born here. This is our country.”

Activists converge on eastern Chinese city By DIDI TANG Associated Press

BEIJING — Scores of activists from around China have been converging on an eastern town during the Chinese New Year holiday to demand an investigation into the death of a fellow activist’s father at a government building. Activists are pointing to the outpouring as a sign of resilience in their movement despite a recent spate of court convictions cracking down on rallies

by fellow members of loosely knit grassroots groups. They estimate 60 to 100 activists have gone to the Shandong province city of Qufu during a period usually devoted solely to family reunions. “More of us should move from the Internet to real life and show the power we have as citizens,” Yang Chong, an activist who traveled from the southern city of Guangzhou to Qufu for the rally, said in a telephone interview. The Qufu gathering was trig-

gered by the sudden death of Xue Fushun, the father of Xue Mingkai, a dissident who has been jailed twice for his opposition to China’s one-party rule. Friends and supporters say the elder Xue went to the prosecutors’ office building in Qufu to argue for his freedom after local authorities kept him and his wife detained in a guesthouse — a common tactic to quell dissent by also targeting the relatives of dissidents. He fell to his death from the building’s fourth floor on Jan. 29.

Police ruled the incident a suicide and declined to investigate the death further. The family’s lawyers and supporters say the death is suspicious and are demanding an unbiased investigation. “He was seeking freedom from state security, and how on earth would he want to kill himself?” Beijing-based rights lawyer Jiang Tianyong said. A worker at a Qufu police station said he could not reveal more details because the case is under investigation, but he con-

firmed that many supporters of Xue’s family had visited the police station. He refused to give his name, as is common among government workers when speaking about sensitive cases. A man who answered the phone at the Qufu government said Friday he had no knowledge about the case. The first grassroots activist arrived on Jan. 31 in Qufu, known as the hometown of the ancient Chinese educator Confucius. More arrived in the ensuing days, eventually numbering at least 60 and forming an im-

promptu citizen watchers group, according to interviews with six of them. The visits began just days after the conviction and sentencing of Xu Zhiyong, the Beijing-based founder of the New Citizens Movement, to four years in prison for taking part in small public rallies, amid a broader crackdown on dissent. Several other members of the movement, as well as a key member of a Guangzhou-based group called Southern Street Movement, also were put on trial last month.

Vigilante groups: We’re in major gang-held city By JOSE-LUIS DIAZ and MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN Associated Press

APATZINGAN, Mexico — Vigilantes who have driven a quasi-religious drug cartel from a series of towns in western Mexico entered a gang-held city on Saturday and were working with government forces to clear it of cartel gunmen, a leader of the movement said. Dozens of vigilante group members, who wore white tshirts to identify themselves, were seen by an Associated Press journalist speeding into Apatzingan in the back of pickup trucks. The city of 100,000 in Michoacan state has been under effective control of the Knights Templar cartel for several years.

“Federal forces are working with self-defense groups,” vigilante leader Hipolito Mora told The Associated Press by telephone from the center of Apatzingan. “Guys from the self-defense groups are moving around the city, cooperating in certain ways with the federal government. Many, many people have been detained.” Mora said federal police controlled security in the city and both armed and unarmed member of the “self-defense” movement were working with them to identify Knights Templar hideouts. He said approximately 200 gang members were arrested, including the brother of one of its leaders, Enrique “Kiki” Plancarte. The government made no immediate comment. The vigilantes’ presence in the city is both a symbolic and

tactical boost for the movement. The control of the Knights Templar group was once so complete that it would have been unthinkable for any rival to enter Apatzingan. The Knights Templar often traveled in vehicles marked with its symbol, a red cross, and sponsored demonstrations calling for the federal police to leave the city. The cartel promotes itself as a mystic Christian order dedicated to protecting the population from abuse at the hands of the military and police. It ran “training schools,” including one in Apatzingan, that taught courses in leadership portraying cartel members as clean-living men of honor, steeped in Asian religion alongside Catholicism. Its members not only lived off

methamphetamine and marijuana smuggling and extortion, but controlled much of the local economy. In October, vigilantes tried to march into Apatzingan but were turned back by soldiers who said they couldn’t enter with weapons. A convoy of hundreds of unarmed self-defense patrol members returned the next day and successfully entered the city, where they were met by gunfire, presumably from the Knights Templar. In apparent retaliation to the attempted incursion, suspected cartel members mounted coordinated attacks on vigilante positions, killing five, according to police. They also destroyed government electrical facilities, including power distribution plants and electrical sub-stations, in 14 towns and cities around Micho-

acan, cutting power to hundreds of thousands of people. Mora told the AP on Saturday that this latest incursion was “a triumph.” The vigilantes’ knowledge of the city is already boosting government operations against the Knights Templar, according to Mora, who said self-defense force members were going door-to-door pointing out suspected cartel members to federal police and helping police man check points on the roads in and out of the city. “They’re all around the city watching to see if members of the Knights Templar are coming or going,” he said.

Mexico legalized the growing “self-defense” movement in Michoacan late last month, saying they would be incorporated into quasi-military units called Rural Defense Corps. Vigilante groups estimate their numbers at 20,000 men under arms. Mora said vigilantes who have been formally incorporated into the Rural Defense Corps were armed, while those not yet registered had no weapons. He said he and his close associates were unarmed, and were there primarily to attend an afternoon rally for peace and the rule of law called by an Apatzingan clergyman who has opposed the Knights Templar.

State worker dies in fall at road maintenance camp ANCHORAGE — A veteran Alaska Department of Transportation worker has died of injuries suffered in a fall from heavy equipment at a remote Dalton Highway maintenance camp. William L. Evans, 64, of Fairbanks, died Friday morning at the Chandalar maintenance camp at Mile 239.4 Dalton Highway.

Stars claim North Star championship Soldotna perseveres in 2 overtimes in semifinal, 4 overtimes in title game Clarion and Frontiersman reports

The Soldotna Stars certainly don’t lack a flair for the dramatic. After scoring the game-winner during the final second of its first-round game and netting a double-overtime win during the semifinals, Soldotna scored late in fourth overtime to earn a 3-2 win over Wasilla in the North Star Conference championships title game at Kevin Bell Arena in Homer on Saturday afternoon. Soldotna forward Kenny Griffin led a two-on-one break and lifted a shot into the Wasilla net with 2 minutes, 38

seconds, left in the fourth tiebreaker. “It was pretty incredible,” Soldotna coach Aaron Swanson said. “We’ll be mostly resting and relaxing (tonight). The kids are worn out from this game.” With the win, Soldotna notched its first NSC tourney title since 2009. The third-seeded Stars needed three dramatic victories to earn the trophy. In the first-round Thursday, Ty Fenton scored in the final second of regulation to give Soldotna a 3-2 win over sixth-seeded Palmer. In Friday’s semifinal round, Preston Weeks scored 13

seconds into a second overtime to give the Stars a 3-2 win over second-seeded Colony. In Saturday’s championship game, the Wasilla Warriors outshot Soldotna 55-19 through the first three overtimes, but Soldotna had its opportunities in the fourth overtime frame. Griffin bounced a shot off the pipe during the first shift of the fourth overtime. “Wasilla was bringing a lot of pressure and getting shots, and when the fourth overtime period began, I think we just caught a second wind or something,” Swanson said. “The kids just

kept battling all game.” With the score knotted at two apiece, Wasilla held the puck in the Soldotna defensive zone for the majority of the first three overtime periods. After outshooting Soldotna 16-7 in the third period, the Warriors allowed just three shots in the first three overtimes. Wasilla opened the scoring with 4:40 left in the first period. Defenseman Blake Carricaburu blasted a shot from the point, and Cody Butcher redirected the puck and scored to give Wasilla the 1-0 lead. Soldotna tied the game midway through the second pe-

riod. Monear made the save on a Griffin shot, but Fenton knocked in the rebound to tie the game at 1. Nick Wrobel scored on a short breakaway with 20 seconds left in the second period to give Soldotna the 2-1 advantage, its first lead of the game. Wrobel picked up a loose puck in the neutral zone, split a pair of Wasilla defensemen and used a quick move in front of the crease to beat Monear on the breakaway. Early in the third period, Cooper Hanson scored to tie the game at 2. See PUCK, page B-4

Paul Steffensen captures state title Staff report

Kenai Central wrestler Paul Steffensen capped off a sterling freshman campaign with a Class 4A state championship in the 126-pound weight class Saturday at Bartlett High School. Steffensen pinned his way to the championship, getting four pins in four total matches over Friday and Saturday combined, and finished his first high school year with a 36-0 record. “He had probably the best days of wrestling in his life,” Kenai coach and father Stan Steffensen said. “It’s great, they work super hard, and you get to see their reward for hard work.” Ultimately, Paul had to face the same wrestler he did in the Northern Lights Conference 126-pound championship a week ago — Jay-Ar

Small of Kodiak. Last week, Steffensen topped Small in an 8-1 match. Steffensen pulled off the win again, getting the pin with 21 seconds left in Saturday’s state final. “He scrambled there, and shot in for a takedown,” Stan described. “He ended up getting (Small) in a neck whip, and put a ‘Superman’ on him.” Paul’s brother, Ellery, made it to the 145-pound championship round, but a second state title for the Kenai junior was not in the cards. On Friday, Ellery had two pins and a technical fall en route to the championship round, but was upset by East’s Anthony Sierra, who pinned Steffensen with 10 seconds to go in the match. Steffensen closed his junior year out with See PIN, page B-4

After starting the season 130, the Soldotna girls have run into a bit of trouble recently. After losing their first game of the year Thursday against Chugiak in overtime, the Stars were edged again on Friday, this time by the three-time defending state champs Wasilla Warriors 35-32 at the Lady Lynx Prep Shootout tournament at Dimond High School in Anchorage. Soldotna recovered Saturday to beat Thunder Mountain 5937 in the seventh-place game of the Gold Tournament. Soldotna had beaten Wasilla in two matchups earlier in the season, but the third time proved to be the charm for the Warriors, outscoring Soldotna 11-4 in the first quarter and going into halftime with a sevenpoint advantage. At one point early in the third quarter, SoHi’s deficit grew to 23-12, but the Stars began to slowly close the gap. SoHi outscored Wasilla 11-8 in the fourth quarter. Soldotna senior Katelynn Kerkvliet scored a double-double, getting 15 points and 12 rebounds, but her teammates had more difficulty finding the basket. Senior Julie Litchfield added eight points. The one advantage the Stars enjoyed over Wasilla was rebounding, grabbing 41 boards compared to 21 for Wasilla. Saturday, Kerkvliet made sure the losing streak would stop at two. She scored 20 points and snared 17 rebounds to lead her squad to victory over the Falcons. Ava Tompkins led the Falcons with 13 points. Colony girls 32, Kenai 29

Kenai River thumps Austin Staff report

There’s an old saying in sports. Whenever somebody asks how many more points are needed, the answer is always more. It seems the Kenai River Brown Bears took that advice Saturday night at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, scoring a 7-1 victory over the Austin (Minn.) Bruins in the last of a three-game series. The Bears took two of three from the Bruins, and have a point in seven of their last eight contests. The last time the Brown Bears scored seven goals in a game was nearly a year ago —

March 15 against the Wenatchee (Wash.) Wild. in a 7-5 win. “We’ve been on the other side of that score sometimes, and it’s not easy, so it definitely feels good to be on the right side of that score,” said Kenai River coach Geoff Beauparlant. Saturday’s win improved the Bears’ record to 23-18-6, leaving them in fourth place in the North American Hockey League Midwest Division with 52 points and a playoff bid, two points ahead of Wenatchee (2219-6). Fairbanks (35-13) continues to lead the Midwest and the league with 70 points.

Bruins shut out Bears in penalty-filled affair By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Friday night’s game between the Kenai River Brown Bears and Austin (Minn.) Bruins featured the Bears’ Alec Butcher, the leading scorer in the league, and the Bruins’ Jay Dickman, the third-leading scorer in the league. It was the type of hockey game where both ended the contest with nasty wounds on their faces. But Dickman ended up with the victory, scoring a power-play goal and setting up a short-handed goal in a 2-0 victory at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex in

F rom the Web F riday front of 629. That snapped a string of six straight games with at least a point for the Bears. The loss put Kenai River at 22-18-6 and one point ahead of the Wenatchee (Wash.) Wild for the final playoff spot from the North American Hockey League Midwest Division. Austin moved to 29-14-1 and to first place in the Central Division. “That’s why they’re as good as they are,” Kenai River

coach Geoff Beauparlant said of the two top scorers. “They compete every night and have a never-say-die attitude. “Last night, Alec helped us get the win and tonight Jay made the plays he had to for them. It’s a great rivalry.” Butcher developed a lump under his eye after taking a shot to the face with 8 minutes, 51 seconds, left in the third period, while Dickman was bloodied in a fracas with 24 seconds left in the game. The contretemps at the 24-second mark marked the point where the officiating crew officially lost control of the taut, physical affair. A long delay ensued after the

skirmish while the crew tried to decide exactly what penalties should be assessed. Austin ended the period with 11 penalties for 53:00, while Kenai River had five for 23:00. Austin’s No. 2, listed as S Schuldt on the roster, piled up the most penalty minutes in just his second game with the Bruins. He was assessed five penalties for 37 minutes after he kept pounding away at Frankie Spellman after two officials separated the players and Spellman had turned his back.

After a slow start offensively for both teams, Kenai built up a lead by outscoring the Moose 11-2 in the second quarter en route to a 16-5 by halftime. At one point early in the third quarter, Kenai stretched its lead to 18-6, but the Moose began to creep back, outscoring the Kards 8-5 in the third.

Grace basketball sweeps Kenai, Soldotna By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

It seems like every gym Chuck Boerger visits these days, it’s the last time he’ll be there as a basketball coach. In his final year of a long coaching career, Boerger visited the Kenai Central High School gym one last time, and his Grace Christian boys hoops team beat the Kardinals 50-38 Friday night in a nonconference matchup. The Grace boys also notched a victory over Soldotna on Saturday, but details were not available as

the Clarion went to press. “It’s not going to be done until we’re finally eliminated, but I just enjoy every game as best as I can,” Boerger said. “I take joy in my players, and I’ve enjoyed every team I’ve ever coached, and this is a special group of players.” Boerger said he still remembers the first time he visited the school as the coach of Adak in 1978, and through the years, his impact has certainly been felt by fellow coaches. Kenai head coach Ken Felchle is one of those coaches, and he

said he has a tremendous amount of respect for Boerger. “He’s taught players and coaches, and he’s been a huge inspiration to all of us,” Felchle said. “It’s just a testament to the kind of coach he is.” On Friday night, Kenai stuck with Grace for much of the first half, trailing by only a point at times in the second quarter, before the Grizzlies distanced themselves by halftime with a score of 26-22. “The last couple of games we’ve learned how to compete,” Felchle said. “Against Colony,

and even Houston before that, we’ve competed. Before that we were struggling. We were shooting 25 percent, and we were just not playing as well with young kids.” Trevor Shirnberg led Kenai with 11 points, while Grace’s Hans Karlberg put up 11 points and Alex Fancher added 10. But, the third quarter proved to be trouble for Kenai. Kenai had a tough time cracking Grace’s defensive schemes, and only managed four points in the quarter, as Grace pulled away to a 10-point lead as the fourth

quarter began. Turnovers also will face Sitka again on Saturday. played into Grace’s hands. “(Kenai) controlled the tempo Friday boys of the game, that was great gameGrizzlies 50, Kardinals 38 planning by them,” Boerger said.

SoHi’s Fox, Kenai’s Cooper win borough ski titles By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Through rain, sun and horrendous wind, high school cross-country skiers still put on the Kenai Peninsula Borough ski championships Friday and Saturday at the Tsalteshi Trails behind Skyview High School.

“It’s such an abnormality in our league, we can’t take things like this for granted,” Beauparlant said. “I liked a lot of the little things we did, we killed some five-on-three power plays, and Tyler Andrews was a beast

Kenai Central’s Travis Cooper and Soldotna’s Colton Diehl traded victories through both days, with Cooper coming out on top of the combined weekend results to win the boys championship. Soldotna’s Sadie Fox had an easier time in the girls varsity division, cruising to victory both days to defend her borough girls championship.

on the back end, and (Kris) Oldham was solid in the net.” Kenai River killed all eight Austin power plays, while Oldham earned his eighth win of the year with 24 saves on 25 shots. His shutout ended with just under 15 minutes left in the game. The scoring started with Alec Butcher’s NAHL-leading 52nd point of the season just

SoHi coach Dan Harbison said the races would have never been possible if not for the trail work done by Bill Holt and John Pothast, who cleared all the forest debris that was strewn across the trails from the recent winds. Both Cooper and Fox were happy enough with the trail conditions. “I was just trying to go out fast and

1:08 into the game, and before the 13 minutes were up, Jacob Wolter and Christian Luiten had scored to give the Bears a 3-0 lead heading into the first intermission.

over the place,” she said. On Friday, Fox dominated the girls eight-kilometer skate event with a time of 26 minutes, 39 seconds, a whopping 1:46 ahead of second-place teammate Hannah Pothast. Saturday, Fox took the five-kilometer skate race in 15:32. See the rest of the story on www.peninsulaclarion.com.

“This is just a wonderful group of kids, all season long they persevered and battled,” Swanson said. “This is a team that doesn’t rely on anyone, but we play as a group. I think that was really evident throughout the tournament, because we had three gamewinning goals from three different players.” Swanson also said goalie Cody Harvey, who made 56 saves, came up huge as always. Wasilla, the No. 1 seed in the tourney, suffered its third loss of the year to the Stars. Soldotna had previously beat Wasilla 3-0 early in the regular season and 3-2 in overtime in January at the Brett Memorial Ice Arena in Wasilla. The Warriors will make their fifth straight trip to the state tourney, despite the loss. Wasilla opened its tournament with an 8-1 semifinal win over Kenai on Friday. Wrobel and defender Jacob O’Lena were both named to the first All-Conference squad. Harvey and forward Justice Miller were named to the sec-

Special teams were the difference in the penalty-filled contest. The Bears were 0 for 9 on the man advantage, including three five-on-three chances. The Bruins were 1 for 3 on the power play with the shorthanded goal. “We’ve got to find a way to score with all of those chances,” Beauparlant said. “We didn’t do a good job supporting the puck on the power play.” The Bruins came into the game with the second-best penalty kill in the league. That pow-

an 8-1 record. Also, Kyle Hunter finished fourth for the Kardinals in the 182-pound division. After losing his opening day match on Friday, Hunter worked his way through four consolation matches and into the thirdplace match, where he lost in a 6-4 decision to Riley Frederickson of Colony, the same wrestler Hunter lost to last week in the Northern Lights Conference final. Soldotna’s Atom Skiba (113 pounds) won his first consolation round match 8-2 over Wasilla’s Anthony Torres before dropping out of the running, and Hunter Bourgeois won his first consolation round match 16 seconds into the third round on an injury default, before dropping out on his next match.

Wasilla 8, Kenai Central 1 Soldotna 3, Colony 2, 2 OT Weeks scored 13 seconds into the second overtime to give Soldotna a 3-2 win over Colony on Friday in the semifinals at the North Star Conference tournament at Kevin Bell Ice Arena in Homer. Weeks’ tally, his second of the game, gave the Stars a state berth for the second straight year. Weeks also gave the Stars the lead in the first period, assisted by Nick Wrobel and Justice Miller. After Logan Sanders, assisted by Cole Bloemer, knotted the game at the 12:48 mark of the second, Soldotna struck back at the 11:51 mark. Fenton scored on assists from Wrobel and Griffin. Colony forced overtime with 6:43 left in the game. Gunner Stadem came up with the equalizer on assists from Curtis Foster and Mark Thygeson. That set up the winner by Weeks. Wrobel had his third assist on the play, while Fenton also assisted. Harvey made 22 saves for the Stars, while Colton Beebe er play is backstopped by Nick Lehr, who entered with a .932 save percentage and earned his fifth shutout of the season. Lehr rebounded from a 4-3 loss Thursday. “Tonight, he was on his game and controlled his rebounds and stood up when he had to,” Austin coach Chris Tok said. “He came back from last night the way a goalie like him is supposed to.” In the first period, the Bears had two minutes of five-onthree and could not solve Lehr. In the second period, it was Kenai River goalie Zach Quinn’s turn to be the most important penalty killer. After Austin Chavez was given a fiveminute major for boarding with 4:22 left in the period, Quinn made 11 saves before the end of the period to keep the game scoreless. He also stopped a penalty

Even when the Wasilla Warriors weren’t scoring goals, head coach Trent Schachle still liked his team’s opportunities. And once Wasilla managed to put away its first puck, the Warriors simply could not be stopped. Wasilla scored eight unanswered goals, including six in the final period, and raced to a win over Kenai during the semifinals. “In the first period we had a few opportunities we didn’t bury. The kids were pretty nervous. This was a must-win game. And then we started burying opportunities,” Schachle said by cellphone from Homer after the win. Junior Tanner Schachle netted the hat trick and six different Warriors scored to help Wasilla advance to the finals and earn its fifth straight trip to the state tournament. Cooper Hanson, Adam Apangalook, Olaf Jensen, Austin Cook and Cody Butcher also scored for the Warriors, who outshot Kenai 29-11 in the game. Kenai took a 1-0 lead into

the second period of an unassisted goal by Jake Eubank, but Tanner Schachle tied the score with just less than nine minutes left in the middle frame. The forward raced up the left wing and put a quick shot past Kenai goalie Justin Alvey. Less than two minutes later, Hanson took a centering pass from Jack Reeves and snapped the puck into the net. “We were working harder, moving the puck quicker,” Trent Schachle said. Wasilla blew the game open early in the third with a pair of rebound goals. Schachle knocked in a third rebound, the last off a Reeves shot, to give Wasilla the 3-1 lead. After a flurry of action in front of the Kenai net, Apangalook knocked in a loose puck with 9:59 left. Jensen snapped a shot from the top of the left circle to give Wasilla the 5-1 lead. Schachle, Cook and Butcher added goals during the final three minutes of play. Jensen, Reeves, Garrett Conroy and Blake Carricaburu finished with two assists each for Wasilla. Freshman Wyatt Monear stopped 10 Kenai shots to earn the win in the Wasilla net.

shot by Dickman with 13 seconds left. “There was a lot of special teams tonight,” Tok said. “Both goalies played well. Obviously, it was tough to score, because it was 2-0, and a scoreless game going into the third period.” The Bears had 38 seconds of the power play to kill heading into the third, but some slick passing from Lucas Kohls to Casey Jerry found Dickman with a crack of space in front of the net. He touched the puck over Quinn 36 seconds into the period. Tok said the Bruins had a set play coming out of the period,

but that play had broken down. “Sometimes hockey players have to make great hockey plays,” he said. Beauparlant said the Bears may have taken a deep breath five seconds too soon. “We got caught running round against a skilled, veteran, experienced hockey club and that’s what is going to happen,” he said. The rest of the game was a series of close calls and frustration for the Bears. With 11:22 left, Bears defenseman Ben Campbell beat an Austin player at the blue line and whistled a wrist shot off the

Iditarod could move north

FAIRBANKS — The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race’s competitive starting point could move hundreds of miles north to Fairbanks because of poor trail conditions. Race officials sent an email to mushers Friday saying the conditions in the Alaska Range may force the 1,000-mile race to start in Fairbanks instead of Willow, which is about 50 miles north of Anchorage, The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Saturday. Race officials said a decision on the starting point will be made on Feb. 17. “We do have trail concerns from the top of Rainy Pass to Nikolai,” Iditarod race manager Mark Nordman wrote in an email.

When I grow old…

had an epiphany a few days ago. That is the fancy word for “It’s about time. What took you so long?” I have finally surrendered to the fact that I am “the older generation.” I suppose it has been obvious for a while. We (that’s one of my brothers and I) are almost the oldest in a very large bunch of relatives. An aunt-by-marriage and one of Mom’s many cousins are all that remain of that generation in a really big extended family that covers two counties and beyond in the Pacific Northwest. And one of my kids IS a grandparent, but I chalked that up to youthful indiscretion, although the great-grandkids are pretty cute and smart as heck, but hardly grounds for shoving me into the “old” category. Besides, I still had a grandmother when my great-grandkids were born, so “older generation” was definitely two layers away at that time. Maybe I should have copped to the fact of the impending age status when Granddaughter No. 5 e-mailed me for directions on how to make a pie crust (she could have picked up the phone and asked but that thinking is only one more indication of my dinosaurhood). When I asked her why she didn’t ask someone closer she said, “No one I know can cook.” And then there is the reality I am faced with daily that even my young friends are not 35 anymore. They even emphasize it with comments like “Getting old is not for sissies” or “What’s gold about the Golden Years?” You’d think I hang out with a bunch of old geezers the way they carry on sometimes about aches and pains and pills and “remember whens.” Unfortunately, I find myself matching them pill for pill and with memories of DeSoto cars and Lonzo and Oscar (look them up). Even the realization that some of the granddaughters are old enough to buy beer (legally) didn’t make it dawn on me. The actual understanding of the obvious was when I went to get my haircut at one of the local places the other day. When I described that I wanted the back shaped in a “modified DA” and the young lady said “A WHAT?” the light bulb went off over my head and I said “Never mind. You’d never understand.” I actually got a very nice haircut, and she did a good job of shaping the back, but not quite like the back end of a duck. I’m not a baby-boomer. My generation is the so-called “silent generation,” the placeholder between the “Greatest Generation” and the Me-Generation (that’s Baby-Boomers to those of you who are one). We’re the ones our parents experimented on so they could spoil the younger siblings rotten. We’re the ones who smoothed the road in the 1950s so the sibs could go crazy in the 60s. In short, we’re the ones who get blamed for everything because we are “disciplined, self-sacrificing and cautious” (according to some sociologists who write about those things) clearing the way so other, less responsible generations can run with the ball. When they stumble at the goal line, it’s our fault because we didn’t carry them across. (Do I sound petulant enough for a constantly putupon older sibling?) My generation is one of the only ones to not have a president elected from its ranks. George Bush Sr. was from the “Greatest Generation,” and we jumped right to the Boomers with Bill Clinton. I’d like to think it is because we’re too smart for that, but in reality it is probably because we are too busy cleaning up after the Baby-Boomers to launch a viable campaign. Age does have some perks, I’m discovering. I can wear anything I want because people expect me to be eccentric. (Remember: “When I am old I shall wear purple…”) If I forget something I’m forgiven “because of my age.” I can even eat dessert first. They age wine and cheese for the same reason the president has to be 35 (although whoever thought 35 was mature might be rethinking it now that the Baby-Boomers have had their day and we’re coming onto the reign of the Gen X’ers): older is better. The problem now is how to play the role. I have been operating on the belief that I am still 30 years old, well, maybe 50 on some days, so it is a major shift in attitude to all at once become an “elder.” In some cultures that title takes on a load of responsibility. Not so much in the prevailing society here, I guess, but still it denotes a certain amount of knowledge and wisdom. My geezer friends laugh a lot, and always have a story to tell. They like the freedom of being old and they know a secret that the Boomers are just now discovering: Everyone gets old. It’s a lot better than the alternative. Virginia Walters lives in Kenai.

Elks pass out dictionaries to elementary students The Kenai Elks Lodge recently distributed dictionaries to the thirdgrade classrooms in their service area. About 200 dictionaries were handed out to schools in Nikiski and Kenai. Dr. Dennis Swarner and Joel Macrander were the principle Elk members involved in the effort, joined this year by Mary Jackson, Exalted Ruler. “The students and teachers were fantastic; Dennis and Joel were a great team for teaching me the ropes,” said Jackson, adding “I had a blast!” According to Jackson, the Elks, primarily through Swarner’s and Macrander’s efforts, have been distributing the dictionaries for years now, prompting one teacher to tell her class that her sixth-grade son still has his dictionary from three years ago. The dictionaries are ordered through “The Dictionary Project,” a national organization which helped to provide 2,397,306 students with dictionaries in 2013. The Project was formed in 1995 and cumulatively has provided over 18 million dictionaries. The Kenai Lodge provides the shipping costs. “In this age of computers, it was surprising to witness how excited the students were to get their very own book — a dictionary,” said Jackson. “Sometimes old school is still the best course!”

Group aims to improve food at corner stores By KATHY MATHESON Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — From the outside, Carmen Medina’s convenience store appears to be an oasis in the food desert of gritty north Philadelphia, from its bright yellow-andwhite striped awnings to the fake palm tree sculptures on the sidewalk. A glimpse inside proves the image is no mirage. The Indiana Food Market is part of the Healthy Corner Stores Network, which aims to teach residents about nutritious eating through grocery promotions and outreach efforts like cooking demonstrations. Customers were recently offered slices of pizza made on-site with store-bought ingredients: wholewheat tortillas, tomato sauce, partskim mozzarella cheese and diced green peppers and onions. “We try to get people to try a sample, and in that process we talk to them about eating whole grains, and trying out new things, and showing them where healthy items are in their corner store,” said program educator Maria Vanegas. Led by the Philadelphia health department and The Food Trust, the corner store initiative has enlisted about 650 of the city’s 2,000 or so corner stores to broaden their inventory of fresh produce, whole grains and low-fat dairy. The healthy products appear to be selling. Data collected by The Food Trust, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit dedicated to ensuring access to healthy affordable food, indicates store owners have reported profits on those items and expanded

Fresh produce is displayed at the Indiana Food Market, Jan. 15, in Philadelphia. Mom-and-pop convenience stores in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods in Philadelphia have been getting healthier through the “Fresh Corner” initiative, an effort designed to help residents eat better in places considered to be food deserts.

their supply. Corner groceries are a critical source of food in many poor urban neighborhoods without full-service supermarkets. About 21 percent of Philadelphians have limited supermarket access, compared with 8 percent of the U.S. population overall, according to a 2012 study by The Reinvestment Fund, a nonprofit that finances neighborhood revitalization in the Mid-Atlantic region. Experts say many purchases made in corner stores — like chips, candy and soda — are calorie-rich and nutrient-poor, contributing to higher rates of obesity and related chronic diseases among low-income residents. Yet people’s food choices are inC

fluenced by what is available, said Dr. Giridhar Mallya, the health department’s director of policy and planning. What if stores carried healthier options? The Food Trust began working with the city in 2010 to find corner store owners willing to sell more wholesome fare. Some feared they’d end up losing money on unsold, spoiled produce; others said they wanted to offer better food but didn’t know where to start, program senior associate Brianna Almaguer Sandoval said. The corner store initiative offers four levels of participation. At the lowest tier, a store owner could get a $100 incentive to introduce four healthy items and receive training

on how to buy, price and promote fresh produce. Higher-level stores get free mini-refrigeration units, special shelving and signage. Last summer, Indiana Food Market became one of five stores at the top tier. Medina, the manager, got the colorful new exterior awnings, an eye-catching refrigerated produce case and a special display for whole grains. English and Spanish signs steer the mostly Latino clientele to healthier choices. And the market got a “Fresh Corner” kiosk for pamphlets, recipe cards and cooking demonstrations, where Vanegas made pizza in a toaster oven. The program has been well received by customers, Medina said, noting they often ask when the food lessons are scheduled. Oatmeal, fruit and whole-grain rice have become big sellers, she added. “People have started to buy new things and healthy things, and it’s really great,” Medina said in Spanish, according to a translation by Vanegas. Shopper Sarita Falu said it’s important for the market to sell fruits and vegetables, since many residents don’t have the means to get to a supermarket regularly. But she didn’t expect Medina to have people like Vanegas interacting personally with customers. “I was very surprised that she’d actually have somebody here giving us that knowledge of nutrition,” Falu said. Mallya cautioned that it’s too early to know whether the marketing effort is affecting consumer buying habits.

Snow can’t halt our traffic

n the night after it snowed last week, I figured it would be a tough drive home. After all, that morning, the highways had been slow-going, with ice on the bridges and inexperienced drivers on the shoulder talking to police officers about their damaged fenders. In reality, though, it was a pleasant drive home after dark. With all the slush and salt on the roads, it was like a drive through Margaritaville. The hard ice was nearly gone, traffic was light because a lot of people had stayed home, and – best of all – I caught green lights all the way home. That’s a lot of green, let me tell you. The lights start at my work and keep on for many blocks after that. Then, out on the highway, there are more lights as I approach the interstate. To make it worse, there seems to be no

Absentee dad remains object of young daughter’s curiosity DEAR ABBY: I have an extremely bright 7-year-old daughter, “Amy,” from a previous marriage. Her biological father, “Jake,” and I separated when she was an infant. He lives across the country, so while we shared custody, Amy usually saw him only once a year. For a while I called him “Dad” when talking about him to her, but when it became apparent that he wasn’t going to be involved in her life (and because I was going to be remarried), we switched to using his first name. My current husband formally adopted Amy last year, and she couldn’t have been happier. Now there’s a baby sister, and Amy is overjoyed. Recently, though, Amy has started asking me why Jake never visits and when she’s going to see him again. I don’t know what to tell her. I feel it would be crushing to her to say that Jake isn’t interested in her anymore, but I also don’t want to lie to her. How do you tell a 7-year-old she should just forget her biological father because he’s never going to be there for her? — ANXIOUS IN HOUSTON DEAR ANXIOUS: Your daughter needs to come to this realization in stages, and her questions should be answered in an ageappropriate way. Understand that Amy may always be interested in knowing about her biological father, and by the time she is in her teens, she will be computer savvy enough to search him out on the Internet. For now, tell your daughter that the reason Jake doesn’t visit is because he is “busy,” and you don’t know when he plans to visit. It’s the truth.

Reagan, who has not learned yet to share well, took her new toys and said something to the effect of: “OK, I’m going to be grumpy now, so don’t anybody play with me.” When her mom told her the party would be held the next weekend, Reagan sounded confused: “So I’ll be 5 then?” The snow fell, and her mother asked whether she wanted to go outside to build a snowman. “Mama,” Reagan admonished her, “you know we don’t have any carrots in our yard.” I love being grandfathered into Reagan’s world, which is a green light on life’s daily commute.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014: This year you could go from being intellectual and innovative to emotional and unstructured. This seesaw effect could take a toll on your immediate circle. Be understanding if they lose it at times. If you are single, traveling will pave the way to you meeting a new person and possibly beginning a new relationship, especially after June. If you are attached, you need to remain sensitive to your significant other. This person might be having strong reactions to your newfound duality. CANCER is moody yet changeable. 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) HHH You won’t be able to change someone’s mood, even as determined as you are. Use your high energy to help this person revitalize him- or herself. Some of you might start a mock fight, just to get this person going. Tonight: Head home, then decide. This Week: You might have difficulty getting the week started, but you will have no choice. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Stay alert with regard to spending, as you easily could go overboard. You might want to funnel some frustration into whatever you are doing. Watch how competitive you become with someone. A brisk walk would work, too. Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s news. This Week: Reach out to others, get their opinions and schedule meetings. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could be more in tune with a situation than you realize. Your drive to help someone loosen up might cause him or her to close down. Make a point to have such a great time that the other party can’t resist joining in. Tonight: A little out of control. This Week: Listen to your gut about money matters. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to hear more of what is going on later in the day. You’ll need downtime, as you have pushed very hard and could be tenser than you realize. Take an extra nap and/or re-energize in a different way. Tonight: Join others. This Week: You hit your power days Monday and Tuesday. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to discuss a personal matter with a loved one. You’ll want the right mood and setting, but you won’t need to go through this effort — this person knows that you want to talk. You could be more off-kilter than you realize. Tonight: Not to be found. This Week: You perk up midweek. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) C

HHH Check in on a loved one. This person depends on you and your attention more than you realize. Take your time with this person. Ultimately, you know what you need to do. Plan some frivolous fun later on today. Tonight: So what if tomorrow is Monday? This Week: Use Monday and Tuesday to the max. Lie low from that point on. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Understand that someone might not see eye to eye with you. Take a drive to a favorite spot, and you will relax by the time you return. Realize that you are part of the problem. Respect differences rather than try to get others to agree with you. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow. This Week: Count on assuming more responsibility than you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might be pleasantly surprised by a loved one’s offer. Don’t ask any questions; just go with the flow, and you will be much happier as a result. One-on-one relating could be very different and more rewarding than it has been in the past. Tonight: Let the party go on. This Week: You have a goal in mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You seem to drop in on a fun happening wherever you go. Realize that people naturally relax around you. Join a friend or loved one, and go watch a game somewhere. Others seem to gravitate toward you, no matter what you are up to. Tonight: Where the gang is. This Week: Work with individuals, not groups. You will see the rewards. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Get involved with a project that you have been putting on the back burner. A friend might be disappointed that you are not up for getting together right away. Respond to this person with care, if you find them to be irritating. Tonight: Accept an invitation. This Week: Others act like you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Let your imagination run wild as you schedule your day. You will see plans change as a result. Look at these adjustments as an opportunity to incorporate more fun into your life. You could be delighted with life’s challenges right now. Tonight: Go to bed early if you can. This Week: Get as much done as possible early on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might want to encourage a family member or roommate to hang out, order in food and watch movies with you. What evolves will be a fun, lazy day together. You could invite others over and expand this event to a pajama party. Tonight: Till the wee hours. This Week: Tap into your imagination.

Resume Tips - Whip Your Resume Into Shape Expert advice on how to do a resume correctly. By Kristina Cowan So you’ve discovered the perfect gig with a higher salary, and you’re bent on shuffling your credentials to the hiring manager immediately, if not sooner. You’ve got the experience, education and skills that make you a star candidate. One hurdle remains: how to do a resume appropriately. Don’t fret-you can soon be on your way to crafting a stellar resume; just use the following key resume tips from career experts Brian Drum and Heather Heath. Drum is president and CEO of New York City-based Drum Associates, Inc., a global executive search firm, and Heath, based in Minneapolis, is practice leader of sales and marketing for Hudson, a recruitment and talent management firm. Expert Resume Tips on How to do a Resume 1. Be accurate and truthful. “A resume should not be embellished or exaggerated-it’s not an exercise in writing a novel. If there’s anything that is not correct or is misstated, it could be a reason for not hiring you,” Drum said. 2. Take two pages for your resume if necessary. Drum said once you have four or five years of experience, it often becomes very difficult to squeeze your career path all onto one page. Heath said she sees two-page resumes “all the time.” Most applicants should avoid three page resumes. Resume Tip for Recent College Graduates: Stick to one page. 3. Use bullets with concise descriptions. Most resumes that use paragraphs aren’t looked at, Drum explained, so it’s best to use bullets, and keep them to a maximum of two lines a piece. 4. In most cases, list experience before education. If you’re a seasoned executive, it’s best to list your work experience first. Resume Tip for Recent College Graduates: Put education up top. 5. Mind your keywords! Both Drum and Heath underscored the importance of including terms to help get your resume picked up through online searches. “We’re seeing more and more systems ranking people’s resumes based on how many keywords are being matched. ... More people are putting more words on their resumes because they understand that tracking systems are keyword-driven,” Heath said. 6. List your contact information, particularly your cell phone number and e-mail address. Heath advises against listing your current work phone number. “I don’t think a potential employer would be impressed that you’re using company resources to find a job,” she said. 7. Use consistent formatting. Use the same size and type of font throughout your resume, such as 12-point Times New Roman. Offsetting your name in a slightly larger font is acceptable. If you cut and paste from various versions of your resume, be sure to align the text and eliminate formatting glitches. 8. Remember to double check your spelling. Heath suggests printing your resume, reading it and proofreading it to catch spelling and grammatical problems. It’s fine to use an automated spell-check, she said, but be wary of such systems introducing errors. 9. Bling on resumes is bad. Steer clear of using lots of large fonts in different colors, and of underscoring and bolding text for extra emphasis. Excessive use of bells and whistles distracts the reader and makes your resume look unprofessional. 10. No headshots, please. Pictures and resumes are like oil and water. If you have the urge, don’t give in. At the end of the day, Heath said, “People need to remember when they’re sending their resume out they’re sending a version of themselves. ... Make it a statement-a strong one.” Kristina Cowan is the senior writer for PayScale.com. She has over 10 years of journalism experience, specializing in education and workforce issues.

Counting Birds

Counting internationally

Christmas Bird Count Did you participate in the Christmas Bird Count? This 114-year-old tradition is a more structured count that takes place in December and January. People sign up for a “circle,” and a compiler collects the information they gather. Each count takes place in a 15-milediameter circle.

In 2013, for the first time, the GBBC extended beyond North America. People submitted bird counts: • from 111 countries and territories; • from all seven continents; • and in four different languages. This GBBC was the largest worldwide instant “snapshot” of bird populations ever taken.

Why do we count birds? Birds are constantly on the move. Many species migrate, or travel, to Sandhill cranes take find warmer flight at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife weather or better sources Refuge in New Mexico. of food. It would be impossible for one scientist or even one team of scientists to study the movements of so many birds over a short time. With information collected from bird counts such as the GBBC over many years, scientists can answer questions they have about birds and their environments.

Hometown: Syracuse, N.Y.

It was at last year’s Final Four, when the pressure was greatest and the lights were brightest, that freshman Breanna Stewart joined the University of Connecticut’s galaxy of women’s basketball stars. She led the Huskies to their eighth national title and won Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four honors. Expect more shining moments like that one, as Stewart is off to a sparkling start this season. A National High School Player of the Year at Cicero-North Syracuse, Stewart is a 6-4 forward who is hard to guard. She averaged 18.1 points and more than 8 rebounds in the first 15 games this season, while leading UConn to a No. 1 ranking. The bad news for opponents is that they have to face her for three more years. Stewart possesses more than extraordinary basketball skills. She also was a star student in high school and winner of an outstanding character award.

Are you ready to count? The Mini Page provides some ideas to help you get started. To watch birds, you might use: • a guidebook to help you identify species • a camera • comfortable clothing • binoculars • a small notebook or checklist to record birds you’ve seen. It’s important to use good birding manners, including: • Be quiet! This will also help you listen for bird calls. • Take extra care when you come upon nesting areas. When setting up a feeder: • Make sure there’s cover close by for the birds, such as a bush. • Also provide water for birds. • Use several different types of bird feed and different kinds of feeders if possible. This will help you attract different kinds of birds. Good luck counting!

1. Count birds anywhere you want for at least 15 minutes. Keep track of the kinds of birds you see and how long you watch.

Include the type of count you did. Traveling means you walked a trail or drove around a wildlife refuge. Stationary means you stayed in one place (perhaps watching a feeder from your window). Incidental means you saw a bird while doing something else.

2. Make an estimate Today’s Birds of how many birds you – 6 Blackcapped see of each species. chickadees 3. Create an – 1 American online account at robin birdcount.org. Enter your data here. You will make a new list for each time you count.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispies

You’ll need:

• 16 ounces confectioners’ sugar • 1 cup red and pink candy-coated chocolate pieces • 11/2 cups melted butter • 2 cups creamy peanut butter • 1 cup chocolate chip morsels 1 • 4 /2 cups crispy rice cereal

What to do:

1. Combine confectioners’ sugar, melted butter and peanut butter in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on slow speed until well-blended. 2. Stir in crispy rice cereal and add candy-coated chocolate pieces. 3. Coat a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan with cooking spray. 4. Press mixture into dish. 5. Melt chocolate chip morsels in microwave and spread evenly over top of mixture. 6. Chill until set and cut into squares. Makes 24-30 squares.

All the following jokes have something in common. Can you guess the common theme or category?

When Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey and New Northern lapwing York in October 2012, it left a well-traveled visitor: the northern lapwing. This bird usually lives in Europe, but after the storm several were sighted from Newfoundland to New Jersey!

3. Count all birds carefully, whether common or unusual. 4. Don’t worry about counting the same birds as someone else. The computer program that analyzes the data you enter takes into account where counters are and when birds were counted, then it adjusts the statistics. Look through your newspaper for stories about local birds. The Mini Page thanks Zachary Slavin, program associate, National Audubon Society, for help with this issue.

Tips for bird counters

House finch

photo by Bette Parette, 2013 GBBC participant

An irruption occurs when birds or other animals migrate into an area in unusually large numbers. In 2013, counters reported larger numbers than usual of crossbills, finches and nuthatches in southern areas of North America. They believe this was because northern trees and crops provided fewer seeds for these birds to eat.

Next week, The Mini Page is all about sled dogs.

A bird irruption

The National Audubon Society offers some tips to help your count go smoothly. 1. Not every bird has to be identified or counted. Identify and count what you can for as long as you can, and try to be accurate about the amount of time you spent watching. 2. There are no winning numbers. Low numbers, zero, or no reports are often more important to conservation efforts than big numbers.

Downy woodpecker

In the 2013 GBBC, more than 3,600 species were reported. Mexico had the most species spotted, with 645, followed by the United States with 638. India and Costa Rica both reported more than 500 species. The birds reported most were North American birds because more people on this continent participated. The northern cardinal was the leader, with almost 47,000 reported. Past GBBCs have Northern cardinal provided useful information not only about birds, but also about our environment. Scientists look at a species’ range, or where it’s spotted, to learn about climate change and diseases, such as the West Nile virus.

How to be a bird counter

They’re Counting on You

Get Ready to Count There are many ways to get involved in the Great Backyard Bird Count. You can count on your own or with your family, either in your yard or away from home. You can also make the GBBC a project for your Scout troop, classroom or youth group. It may help to have an adult lead the group and assist as you identify and report birds.

Seventeen years ago, when the Internet was brandnew, bird experts at National Audubon Society and Cornell Lab of Ornithology American goldfinch had a question: Would ordinary people count birds and contribute their results to an online survey? The answer was yes, and the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) was born. In fact, in 1997, 13,000 people from North America entered their checklists. The 2014 Great Backyard Bird Count will take place Feb. 14-17. Will you help count birds? The Mini Page spoke with an expert at Audubon to find out more about this important census*.
