Electronics collected for recycling By BEN BOETTGER Peninsula Clarion

dock price for their fish, with prices set about six months in advance to provide more stability, as well. In exchange, they’re expected to pressure bleed salmon, keep the fish on ice and meet other production standards intended to ensure a high quality product. Initially the program started with salmon, but now customers can purchase eight species. Sitka Salmon Share’s fish is processed in state before it’s shipped Outside. In each of the communities where the fish is delivered, customers receive their shipments at home. Mink said that end of the operation is kept efficient, and it costs about 60 cents to 70 cents per pound to deliver the fish. In addition to getting fish, customers can see photos and videos of the boats catching them. Mink and his partners also work to educate them about how Alaska’s fisheries work when sometimes the catch is unpredictable and “nature is

16 volunteers from nonprofit recycling advocate ReGroup spent this Saturday at Soldotna’s Central Peninsula Landfill for ReGroup’s 7th annual electronics recycling drive. Jan Wallace, secretary of ReGroup and organizer of the drive, said that 125 local households, as well as six businesses and government agencies and three non-profits, brought nonfunctioning electronic devices, also known as e-waste, to be recycled. “We had 120 monitors, a substantial number of computer towers, laptops, cell-phones, and quite a few microwave ovens,” said Wallace. According to Total Reclaim Environmental Services, the recycling company that will process ReGroup’s shipment of e-waste, most of the material extracted from e-waste is returned to manufacturers to be reused for its original purpose. Before this happens, the material will pass through many hands. Wallace said that ReGroup has been careful in ensuring that these hands will be responsible ones. ReGroup chose to work with Total Reclaim because of their e-steward certification, given by the waste-management watchdog group Basel Action Network. Named after the Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty signed in the Swiss city of Basel to control international hazardous waste trafficking, the Basel Action Network gives this certification to recyclers who meet standards of safety and environmental responsibility. Total Reclaim is Alaska’s only e-Steward certified recycler.

Murkowski seeks another look into guard probe

M K

JUNEAU (AP) — U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski is asking the Department of Defense inspector general to re-examine the evidence and conclusions it reached in investigating the Alaska National Guard. In 2013, Murkowski requested an investigation into allegations of misconduct within the guard. The inspector general notified her in May that the allegations could not be substantiated and later released a heavily redacted report. But in a letter to the inspector general Friday, Murkowski said it seems highly irregular that that inquiry and another by the National Guard Bureau’s Office of Complex Investigations would reach such different conclusions. The guard bureau found victims did not trust the system because they lacked confidence in the command. Murkowski asked the IG to examine the rigor of its investigation and release an unredacted version of its report.

Fishermen hands-on with marketing Efforts find sales opportunities in niche markets across U.S. By MOLLY DISCHNER Morris News Service-Alaska/ Alaska Journal of Commerce

From Sitka to Kodiak, small, independent commercial fishermen are taking an increasingly hands-on role in marketing their own fish. Rhonda Hubbard and her husband Jim of Seward started selling and processing their own fish more than two decades ago. Since then, she’s seen more fishermen do the same. Hubbard said that the markets many of those fishermen reach, like farmers’ markets in the Lower 48 and other small sales opportunities, are niches that traditional processors often can’t fill. “There’s a lot of people that would like to get better access to good quality seafood,” Hubbard said. Direct marketing is one way to eliminate much of the separation between people who eat fish and people who catch fish. It can be challenging, though;

‘I think that there’s a tremendous amount of growth that I see in this type of marketplace, and I only think that more and more fishermen are going to enter into these types of relationships.’ — Nic Mink, founder, Sitka Salmon Shares Hubbard said she wears many hats to make her business work, and the regulatory process can be cumbersome. Now, community supported fishery programs that provide a link between catcher and consumer are on the rise, offering many of the benefits of direct marketing, without requiring that all fishermen also act as businessmen. Nic Mink founded Sitka Salmon Shares, a Southeast community support fishery, or CSF, after living and working in Sitka. He works at Butler University, and teaches about sustainable food systems.

While living in Stika, he saw the opportunity to develop a new market for the salmon, and other fish, being landed there. “This became a theory-meetspractice kind of project,” he said. Sitka Salmon Shares supplies Midwest consumers with wild Alaska fish. Fishermen receive a premium, and customers gain access to better fish than is typically available in local supermarkets, Mink said. Sitka Salmon Shares has about eight fishermen who regularly deliver catch, and another three or four who do so less often, Mink said. They’re paid well above

Prison program offers skills for outside success By CINTHIA RITCHIE Morris News Service-Alaska/ Chugiak-Eagle River Star

The classroom at Hiland Mountain Correctional Center was serene and airy with silver-soft light filtering across the room. Bright nature murals sprawl across the walls and large windows overlook a treefilled courtyard. Suddenly, women shuffled in, a dozen sneakered feet, a dozen yellow-orange pants and loose shirts with HMCC stamped across the back in bold, black letters. The women were Hiland inmates attending workshop sessions as part of the Success Inside & Out agenda. In its ninth year, the program highlights tips and coping strategies for pre-release inmates, offering panels and classes in such areas as probation tips, educational horizons, child custody and re-

entry support. Hands down, the most popular event was the fashion show, which offered do’s and don’ts for prospective job seekers. Six inmate models walked the runway in everything from a too-short and too-tight skirt (a definite no) to a sleekly cut skirt and matching jacket (yes, please). Yet it was the workshops, not the runway, that offered life-changing skills and potentials. Kathleen Madden facilitated “Inspire Yourself to Action in Your New Life,” a hands-on class prodding inmates to ask a few hard, and honest, questions: Where do they want to be in five years and, more importantly, who do they want to be? Ann Severson needed inspiration. She’s slated for release soon and needs something to keep her going, to keep her strong.

Powerful stories were told in “Probation Tips for Success,” an afternoon panel that featured former Hiland inmates Dana Hilbish and Rachel Burkhart, along with Lana Grist of the Department of Corrections Division of Probation and Parole. Hilbish and Burkhart both stressed that the transition from prison to outside life was far from easy. Hilbish, who served 21 years for murder and tampering with evidence, was released last January. The only thing keeping her back out of prison, she said, is her sobriety. See SKILLS, page A-10

Stents may require longer blood thinner use By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer

CHICAGO — Millions of people with stents that prop open clogged heart arteries may need anti-clotting drugs much longer than the one year doctors recommend now. A large study found that continuing for another 18 months lowers the risk of heart attacks, clots and other problems. Even quitting after 30 months made a heart attack more likely, raising a question of when it’s ever safe to stop. It’s a big issue because the drugs can be expensive and bring risks of their own. The result also is a surprise, because the trend has been toward shorter treatment, especially in Europe. “It’s a wake-up call. It’s the opposite of where we’ve been going,” said Dr. Patrick O’Gara, clinical cardiology chief at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and president of the American College of Cardiology. He had no role in the study, which was led by Brigham’s Dr. Laura Mauri, at the request of the federal Food and Drug Administration. Results were discussed Sunday at an American Heart Association confer-

Basement target practice leads to charges COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Two men are facing charges after they were accused of target shooting in the basement of a Colorado Springs home. Police say they responded to a 911 call reporting shots fired inside the house on Saturday. Officers say as they approached the house they heard more shots and noticed the front door was open. Officers say when they got inside they found two men taking turns shooting at glass bottles. Christian Clark and Codie Leslie were arrested on suspicion of illegal use of weapons and reckless endangerment. No injuries were reported. C

ence in Chicago and published online by the New England Journal of Medicine. The FDA says it is mulling the results and that doctors should not change practice yet. The study concerns care after angioplasty, a procedure done on millions of people worldwide each year. Through a blood vessel in the groin or an arm, doctors push a tube to the clog, inflate a tiny balloon to flatten it, and place a mesh tube called a stent to keep the artery open. Early bare-metal stents didn’t work well — arteries tended to reclog quickly. Coated ones that ooze drugs to prevent that problem came out a decade ago but have their own drawback: a small risk of clots that occur months later, a serious type that often cause heart attacks and can kill. To prevent that, people with drug-coated stents are told to take aspirin and a second type of anti-clotting drug for a year. But no one really knows how long the second drug is needed. The study involved nearly 10,000 people who took aspirin plus either of the drugs Plavix or Effient for one year after getting a drug-coated stent. All

stayed on aspirin for another 18 months, and half stayed on Plavix or Effient, too. About 6 percent of those taking only aspirin suffered a heart attack, clot or other heart-related problem during that time versus about 4 percent of those taking a second drug. Blood clots also were more common in the aspirinonly group. The added benefit of dual treatment came with a cost: more cases of moderate or se-

vere bleeding. Still, the balance is in favor of continuing the drugs because bleeding rarely was serious, Mauri said. A potential concern: There were more deaths from nonheart-related causes among those taking two drugs. Most were from cancer or trauma. Researchers looked back and found that more people with cancer at the outset of the study wound up in the two-drug group, perhaps explaining the difference.

U.S. Hospital: Surgeon with Ebola ‘extremely ill’ By MARGERY BECK and JESSICA GRESKO Associated Press

M K

OMAHA, Neb. — A surgeon who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone was in extremely critical condition Sunday at a Nebraska hospital, his doctors said. Dr. Martin Salia, who was diagnosed with Ebola on Monday, arrived in Omaha on Saturday to be treated at the Nebraska Medical Center’s biocontainment unit that has successfully treated two other Ebola patients this fall. Salia is “extremely ill,” said Dr. Phil Smith, who is helping oversee Salia’s treatment. The 44-year-old Salia might be more ill than the first Ebola patients successfully treated in the United States, according to the hospital. “This is an hour-by-hour situation,” Smith said Sunday, adding that a team of specialists is treating Salia’s most serious issues. “We will do everything humanly possible to help him fight this disease.” Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leona. Of the 10 people treated for the virus in the U.S., all but one has recovered. After Salia arrived in Omaha, his ambulance to the hospital was accompanied by a

single Nebraska State Patrol cruiser and a fire department vehicle — a subdued arrival in contrast to the August delivery of Dr. Rick Sacra, whose ambulance was flanked by numerous police cars, motorcycles and fire vehicles. Salia has been working as a general surgeon at Kissy United Methodist Hospital in the Sierra Leone capital of Freetown. It’s not clear whether he was involved in the care of Ebola patients. Kissy is not an Ebola treatment unit, but Salia worked in at least three other facilities, United Methodist News said, citing health ministry sources. Salia, a Sierra Leone citizen who lives in Maryland, first showed Ebola symptoms on Nov. 6 but tested negative for the virus. He eventually tested positive on Monday. The U.S. State Department said it helped facilitate the transfer of Salia; the U.S. Embassy in Freetown said he paid for the expensive evacuation. The travel costs and care of other Ebola patients flown to the U.S. have been covered by the groups they worked for in West Africa. Salia’s wife, Isatu Salia, said in a telephone interview that when she spoke to her husband early Friday his voice sounded weak and shaky. But he told her “I love you” in a steady voice, she said.

Judo club hosts self defense class

Remains of Ice Age infants uncovered FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — Researchers have uncovered the remains of two Ice Age infants in Alaska’s interior, a discovery archaeologists call the youngest human remains from that era found in northern North America. The remains dating back about 11,500 years offer a new glimpse into ancient burial practices, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. Researchers have explored a large sand dune for nearly a decade at a dig site known as the Upward Sun River southeast of Fairbanks. In 2010, archaeologists found the partly cremated remains of a 3-year-old child. The babies’ remains were discovered last year about 15 inches below in the same area. The bones are well preserved and appear to belong to one child who was stillborn and another who died soon after birth. The three children appear to have died during the same summer, according to researchers. The infants were buried with stone spearheads and darts. Also found at the site were salmon bones. “Every bit of new information we’re gathering from Upward Sun and other sites really show a sophisticated subsistence economy,” said University of Alaska Fairbanks researcher Ben Potter, whose team led the dig. Potter details the 2013 discovery in a new report published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, according to the newspaper. The infants are clearly Native American, according to Liverpool John Moores University researcher Joel Irish, who participated in the project. Researchers hope to follow up with DNA analysis to determine the gender and whether the babies were related, Irish said.

Researchers have uncovered the remains of two Ice Age infants in Alaska’s interior, a discovery archaeologists call the youngest human remains found in northern North America.

For the project, archaeologists worked with the Tanana Chiefs Conference and local tribes to set up rules on handling the remains. The project received the backing of Jerry Isaac, who was the Tanana Chiefs Conference president at the time of the dig. Disturbing ancient burial sites is controversial, but Isaac said the knowledge gained could provide important links to Athabascan history. He is particularly interested in his ancestors’ subsistence practices.

What Others Say

Legislature should do better at providing stable budget for UA As another state budget-making cycle

begins, the University of Alaska is in a dangerous place. As the Legislature looks to address slumping state revenue, substantial cuts to the institution seem likely if not assured. Historically, as the state’s fiscal fortunes have waxed and waned, so have those of the university. But that sort of feast-and-famine budget cycling not only causes undue hardship to the university and its employees but also is an inefficient way to provide for an institution that is the engine providing a supply of the state’s future leaders. This isn’t the first time the university has been put in a pinch. The 1990s saw significant and painful cuts that entailed layoffs and systemwide budget slashing. And to their credit, this time UA President Patrick Gamble and the Board of Regents saw the financial bind coming. The group charged with steering the university has been working on the assumption that lean times were approaching for the past few years. With recent cuts and the potential for more to come, there’s been plenty of hardship to go around nonetheless. At the root of the university’s budget issues is the greater issue of low and declining state revenues, as declining oil production and falling prices for the commodity have been a powerful one-two punch to a state already engaged in deficit spending. When the state’s revenues have soared in past years, on the other hand, the Legislature has been all too happy to indulge a fondness for spending money as soon as it comes in, and that extends to the money they allocate to the university. When oil revenues rise, so do new buildings at university campuses around the state. And when what goes up inevitably comes back down, buildings, roads and improvement projects remain in stasis, adding to a backlog of deferred maintenance that already weighs heavily on the system’s resources. Making the problem worse is the tendency toward regionalism both in times of plenty and times of hardship. When budgets soar, the Legislature adopts a tit-for-tat mentality in funding projects. Fairbanks gets a life sciences building, Anchorage gets a new sports arena. One campus is getting a new engineering building? Well, the other one better get one too. Legislators will jump down the regents’ established list of capital priorities to find projects that benefit their neighborhood and insist those projects are a top priority. It’s an efficient way to get rid of money, but it’s not a responsible way to provide for the university system’s needs. The Legislature seems to have little respect for the priorities of the regents despite the clear spelling-out of each group’s role in the university system by the Alaska Constitution. It’s important to note that the university shouldn’t be untouchable in the budget process, and the regents aren’t perfect arbiters of what is necessary or possible with regard to UA funding. Discussions are already underway about the value of duplicating majors at different campuses or maintaining majors in which few students enroll. These are discussions worth having. And occasionally the regents just get a decision wrong, as in the case of a proposed bonus for Mr. Gamble that he and the board were wise to revisit and reverse after public outcry. But in general, the group does a good job of providing for the university system, and the Legislature should do what it can to smooth out the sine wave of boom and bust that batters the university perhaps more than any other state-funded agency. How should it do this? Perhaps by suppressing the urge to spend to the limit of its means in fat years, putting funds aside for lean ones — and not cannibalizing funds so allocated for use by other state agencies or projects. The university takes what it’s given by the state and does the best job it can to provide for the future of Alaska. For its part, the state should do a better job of providing a sustainable future for the university. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Nov. 9

Thank you, Jonathan Gruber

The epic search of the Greek philosopher Diogenes for an honest man is finally over. His name is Jonathan Gruber, an MIT economist once known as an intellectual architect of Obamacare, although his status is being rapidly downgraded by the law’s supporters with every one of his uncomfortably frank utterances about President Barack Obama’s signature initiative. Video surfaced of Gruber saying at a panel discussion at the University of Pennsylvania last year that the law was written in a deceptive, nontransparent way to exploit “the stupidity of the American voter.” Gruber swiftly went on MSNBC to explain that his comments should be discounted because he was speaking “off the cuff.” Then two other videos surfaced of him saying much the same thing at different venues. Calling the American public stupid appears to have been one of Gruber’s favorite rhetorical tropes. At one of his appearances, his audience can be heard laughing appreciatively. H.L. Mencken famously wrote that no one has “ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.” Or, Gruber might add, ever failed to pass major social legislation by doing the same. His impolitic remarks now have some Obama supporters suggesting that Gruber — one of the most influential health-care wonks in the country, who was integral to crafting the Massachusetts precursor to

Obamacare and then Obamacare itself — is just some random, poorly spoken guy. This denies Gruber his due. He has done us all a favor by affording us an unvarnished look into the progressive mind, which values complexity over simplicity, favors indirect taxes and impositions on the American public so their costs can be hidden, and has a dim view of the average American. Complexity is a staple of liberal policymaking. It is a product of its scale and reach, but also of the imperative to hide the ball. Taxing and spending and redistributive schemes tend to be unpopular, so clever ways have to be found to deny that they are happening. This is what Gruber was getting at. One reason Obamacare was so convoluted is that its supporters didn’t want to straightforwardly admit how much the law was raising taxes and leveraging the young and healthy to subsidize everyone else. Gruber crowed about the exertions undertaken to make an unpopular tax on expensive health-insurance plans, the socalled Cadillac tax, more palatable. It was levied on employers instead of employees. No one realized, Gruber explained, that the tax would be functionally the same even if not directly imposed on workers. This wasn’t a one-off deception. This kind of sleight of hand is crucial to the progressive project, which always involves imposing taxes, regulations and mandates at one

remove from the average person so he or she won’t realize that the costs are passed down regardless. Most liberals would never come out and call Americans stupid in a public forum, like Gruber did. But the debate between conservatives and liberals on health-care policy and much else comes down to how much average Americans can be trusted to make decisions on their own without the guiding, correcting hand of government. An assumption that Americans are incompetent is woven into the left’s worldview. It is reluctant to entrust individuals with free choice for fear they will exercise it poorly and irresponsibly. So Gruber deserves to be listened to, even if he ultimately got it wrong. The public is smarter than he and other Obamacare supporters give it credit for. It has never believed the magical, deliberately deceptive promises about Obamacare, or supported the law that continues to be a drag on the Democratic Party. Rather than congratulating themselves on their cleverness, the law’s architects might better reflect on how, even with crushing majorities in the House and the Senate, they had to lie and obfuscate to get Obamacare passed. That is damning commentary, not on the American public, but their misbegotten handiwork. Rich Lowry can be reached via e-mail: comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Senators eyeing 2016 face test in new majority By STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Now that their party has seized the Senate and faces the pressure of governing, an ambitious group of first-term Republicans may try to use that new majority status, and the opportunities it brings, as a springboard to the presidency in 2016. While many sitting senators have tried to make that jump, Barack Obama is the only one to accomplish that in the past half-century. That history doesn’t seem to be deterring at least four from trying to capitalize on their party’s success in the midterm elections for possible runs for national office: Rand Paul of Kentucky, Marco Rubio of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas and Rob Portman from Ohio. Each represents a different strain within the GOP. Cruz, for example, is the tea partyer elected in 2012 who led the GOP through the last government shutdown. Rubio, voted in two years earlier, is a foreign policy hard-liner who supports a path to legal status for immigrants who are in the United States illegally. As leadership opportunities grow with the GOP gaining the majority come January, each is working to bolster his case for those presidential ambitions. “It is critical now that Republicans have won a majority that we stand up and lead,” Cruz said as lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill this past week for a postelection session. “We have an opportunity to demonstrate bold, principled leadership.” Primary contests in Iowa and New Hampshire are little more than a year away, and prospective candidates in both parties are nearing decisions about whether to run. Hillary Rodham Clinton remains the overwhelming Democratic front-runner, if she gets in, while more than a dozen Republicans are considering the race. In addition to the four senators, that list includes former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Scott Walker of Wisconsin. They are promoting the inherent advantages that state leaders have over those elected to a Congress suffering from gridlock and anti-Washington

C Y

AP News Extra sentiment. That dynamic is forcing senators who are would-be candidates to distance themselves from the very institution they serve. “I have taken the strong position that this place is broken,” Portman told The Associated Press while walking through the Capitol last week. “Whether I’m running for re-election in Ohio or running for national election, I’ll continue to express my strong view that Washington is letting down the rest of the country.” Portman served four terms in the House before winning election to the Senate in 2010. An early showdown over immigration, and the prospect of a second government shutdown in two years, will showcase differences between the ambitious senators. Like most Republicans, Rubio opposes Obama’s plans to issue an executive order before year’s end that may shield from deportation about 5 million immigrants who are living in the United States illegally. “The quandary is, what option do we have to stop it that isn’t counterproductive? Ideally, you would be able to not fund it in the budget, but doing so could threaten shutdown,” Rubio said in an interview. He said the American people do not need to suffer through the “shock” of another government closure. Rubio’s team thinks his failed immigration efforts ultimately will help his standing with Hispanic voters. In the coming

Classic Doonesbury, 1978

month, the senator plans to outline a policy agenda that will include an alternative for Obama’s health care overhaul. Cruz is not ruling out another government closure, and his supporters note that voters did not punish Republicans this fall for the 2013 shutdown that furloughed more than a million workers and closed national parks for more than two weeks. The Senate’s top Republican, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has pledged that there will not be a shutdown. But Cruz has achieved hero status among conservative activists for his willingness to take on party leaders. The libertarian-minded Paul, elected in 2010, is trying to harness energy from the tea party movement while broadening his appeal enough to win a national election. He met privately with advisers in Washington last week to chart a road map for the coming months. A spokesman said the meetings were focused on “fundraising performance, grassroots engagement, communications and outreach” and included dozens of supporters from across the country. Being part of the majority, Paul said in an interview, is a potent tool: Even with 53 percent of the senators, “you get 100 percent of the agenda.” Instead of backing a broad spending bill that would keep the federal government funded through next fall, Paul wants his party to approve individual ones to have more direct control over the administration.

Family of aid worker ‘heartbroken’

Around the World New video of Malaysia Airlines downing shows alarm in Ukrainian village

By RICK CALLAHAN Associated Press

HRABOVE, Ukraine — Four months after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine, The Associated Press has obtained video that shows how close the burning passenger jet came to hitting village homes and suggests that residents first assumed it was a Ukrainian military plane that had been struck. The amateur footage, filmed by a resident of Hrabove, shows people reacting in alarm as wreckage blazes only a few meters away from their homes on the afternoon of July 17. The video is perhaps the first taken immediately after the plane came down. The ultimate cause of the MH17 disaster is the subject of major diplomatic disputes. Ukraine and Western government say Russia-backed separatist fighters fired the rockets that felled the plane, while state-run television in Moscow over the weekend produced evidence it claims places blame with Ukraine’s air force. All 298 people aboard the Boeing 777 flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were killed when it was shot down over a rebel-held area. Charred remains of the aircraft are scattered around fields over an area of 20 square kilometers (8 square miles).

INDIANAPOLIS — The parents of an American aid worker captured by Islamic State militants last year while delivering relief supplies to refugees in Syria said Sunday they are “heartbroken” by his death at the hands of those militants but “incredibly proud” of his compassion and humanitarian work. Ed and Paula Kassig of Indianapolis said in a statement that their 26-year-old son, Peter Kassig, “lost his life as a result of his love for the Syrian people and his desire to ease their suffering.” “We will work every day to keep his legacy alive as best we can,” they said. Kassig was captured last year in eastern Syria while delivering relief supplies to refugees of Syria’s civil war. The Indianapolis man, a former U.S. Army ranger who founded a relief organization, converted to Islam while in captivity and took the first name Abdul-Rahman. The White House confirmed Kassig’s death Sunday after Is-

DEA agents surprise NFL teams’ medical staffs with checks Federal drug enforcement agents showed up unannounced Sunday to check at least three visiting NFL teams’ medical staffs as part of an investigation into former players’ claims that teams mishandled prescription drugs. There were no arrests, Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Rusty Payne said Sunday. The San Francisco 49ers’ staff was checked at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, after they played the New York Giants. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ staff was checked at Baltimore-Washington International airport after playing the Redskins. The Seattle Seahawks, who played at Kansas City, confirmed via the team’s Twitter account that they were spot-checked as well. The operation was still ongoing, and other teams may be checked later Sunday, Payne said. “DEA agents are currently interviewing NFL team doctors in several locations as part of an ongoing investigation into potential violations of the (Controlled Substances Act),” Payne said.

Lawyer: Cosby won’t dignify ‘decade-old’ abuse allegations with a response

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bill Cosby will not dignify “decade-old, discredited” claims of sexual abuse with a response, his attorney said Sunday, the first comment from the famed comedian’s lawyer on an increasing uproar over allegations that he assaulted several women in the past. In a statement released to The Associated Press and posted online, lawyer John P. Schmitt said the fact that the allegations are being repeated “does not make them true.” “He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work,” Schmitt said.

lamic State militants released a video showing that Kassig had been beheaded. President Barack Obama called Kassig’s killing “an act of pure evil” and said the Islamic State group “revels in the slaughter of innocents, including Muslims, and is bent only on sowing death and destruction.” The Kassigs said in their statement that their hearts also go “out to the families of the Syrians who lost their lives,

along with our son.” They said they also grieve “for the families of the other captives who did not make it home safely.” The Kassigs learned of their son’s capture last year, but did not disclose his captivity while family and friends quietly worked to secure his release. In October, their son appeared in another video released by the Islamic State group that showed the beheading of a fellow aid worker, Britain’s Alan Hen-

ning. The militants vowed that Kassig would be next, leading his parents to plead publicly for mercy while stressing his humanitarian work and conversion to Islam. Kassig first went to the Middle East with the Army, which he joined in 2006, according to his military records. He ultimately served in the 75th Ranger Regiment, a special operations unit, and served in Iraq from April until July 2007 before being medically discharged as a private first class that September. His desire to perform aid work in the region was kindled during a March 2012 spring break trip to Beirut while he was studying political science at Butler University. Kassig, a certified EMT, left school and returned two months later to Lebanon, where he worked as a medical assistant and humanitarian worker and treated people from all sides of the conflict in neighboring Syria. In September 2012, he founded Special Emergency Response and Assistance, or SERA, which suspended its relief work after his capture.

After trip, Obama faces challenges at home By JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent

BRISBANE, Australia — After a productive trip abroad, President Barack Obama returned home Sunday on a collision course with Republicans on immigration and an oil pipeline project, showdowns that threaten prospects for cooperation over his remaining two years in office. The contentious immigration debate could mean a yearend fight over keeping the government running, if some GOP lawmakers get their way. On the foreign policy front, there is a Nov. 24 deadline in nuclear negotiations with Iran, and questions are surfacing within the administration about whether to overhaul U.S. policy toward Syria. Given his faltering political support in the U.S. and his party’s recent election losses,

his trip to China, Myanmar and Australia appeared to offer respite. The president, who arrived in Washington late Sunday, basked in policy breakthroughs with China and warm welcomes in Myanmar and Australia. “I intend to build on that momentum when I return home,” Obama said at a news conference before heading home. When Obama set off for the Asia Pacific, both the White House and Republicans were suggesting that the GOP’s decisive takeover of the Senate could pave the way for bipartisan breakthroughs. But just two weeks after the election, that optimism largely has faded, making it increasingly likely that Washington will churn through two more years of gridlock. Republicans attribute the swift shift in tone largely to Obama’s plans to move forward with executive actions on im-

WASHINGTON — Fabian Barrera found a way to make fast cash in the Texas National Guard, earning roughly $181,000 for claiming to have steered 119 potential recruits to join the military. But the bonuses were ill-gotten because the former captain never actually referred any of them. Barrera’s case, which ended last month with a prison sentence of at least three years, is part of what Justice Department lawyers describe as a recurring pattern of corruption that spans a broad cross section of the military. In a period when the nation has spent freely to support wars on multiple fronts, prosecutors have found plentiful targets: defendants who bill for services they do not provide, those who steer lucrative contracts to select business partners and those who use bribes to game a vast military enterprise. Despite numerous cases that have produced long prison sentences, the problems have continued abroad and at home with a frequency that law enforcement officials consider troubling. “The schemes we see really run the gamut from relatively small bribes paid to somebody in Afghanistan to hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of contracts being steered in the direction of a favored company who’s paying bribes,” Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, said in an interview. — The Associated Press

migration that potentially could shield from deportation about 5 million immigrants who are living in the United States illegally. The president has pledged to announce the measures before year’s end; he could act shortly after returning to Washington. The incoming Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, has warned that such executive actions would “poison the well” with the new Republicanled Senate and could prevent the GOP from working with Obama on other potential areas of agreement. Republican leaders are considering what to do if Obama presses ahead. More conservative members want to use upcoming spending bills to block

the president, but that could set the stage for a showdown for another government shutdown. Obama said that possible threat would not dictate his timing in flexing his powers. He said is main concern “is getting it right.” The fight over the Keystone XL pipeline that would run from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast also has political implications for the president, not just with Republicans but also his own Democratic Party. Democrats see passage of a bill forcing construction of the project as a last-ditch effort to save Sen. Mary Landrieu, who faces a runoff election next month against GOP Rep. Bill Cassidy in oil-producing Louisiana.

Harvick captures 1st title JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — There was no trick to Kevin Harvick’s first Sprint Cup championship. Competing for the title against three other drivers, he seized his opportunity with a relentless dash through the field in the closing laps of the season finale. It was exactly what NASCAR was looking for when it revamped its playoff format this year to try to force drivers to win races. Harvick picked off car after car, and passed two other title contenders on a series of restarts as he aggressively chased both the victory and the title Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway. His desperate drive from 12th to first over the final 15 laps gave Harvick the championship over Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman and Joey Logano. All four were determined to claim their first career title, and all four raced to win — because winning, it turned out, mattered in this Chase for the Sprint Cup

championship. “If you want to win the championship, you’re going to have to figure out how to win races,” Harvick said. “In the end, that’s what it came down to, was winning the race to win the championship. It all worked out.” The four drivers all found themselves racing each other at the front of the field after the sun went down on the 400-mile race. It was Hamlin, the Charlotte Bobcats season-ticket holder who had Michael Jordan cheering from his pit, who seemed to have the race in control until a caution with 20 laps to go. All four teams were forced to make tough strategy decisions that ultimately decided their fate. Joe Gibbs Racing decided not to pit Hamlin, which moved him to second on the restart. Richard Childress Racing gave Ryan Newman two tires, while Harvick crew chief Rodney Childers made the risky call for four tires. Team Penske also had planned to give Joey Logano four tires, but a problem with

the jack destroyed Logano’s chances and he plummeted from sixth to 21st, ending his championship bid. Harvick restarted 12th with 15 laps to go and not much time to pick his way through traffic. As Hamlin passed leader Jeff Gordon on the restart, Harvick shot past four cars to move to seventh. “The seas kind of parted down the backstretch and we were able to get three or four cars or six, I guess, or five. You’ve got a very short time to do it,” he said. “You had all the championship guys show up at the front of the pack. I was just going to hold the pedal down and hope for the best.” Then came another caution, and Hamlin, on old tires, knew he was in trouble. Harvick, on the four fresh tires, rocketed through the middle on the restart, dicing his way through traffic to pick up another four spots and move into second. “I loved our chances, but they weren’t there at the end,” Hamlin said. “Strategy is part of winning,

and the strategy for us didn’t work out with the cautions.” Harvick got by Hamlin, then Newman passed Hamlin for second and the championship became a battle of drivers who had essentially swapped seats this year. There was one more caution, forcing Harvick to nail one final restart with three laps remaining, and he eased his way ahead of Newman on his way to the win. The victory capped a magical first season at Stewart-Haas Racing, where Harvick moved this year after 13 seasons with Richard Childress that failed to produce a championship. Harvick, who had to win last week at Phoenix just to advance into Sunday’s final four, wrapped up his third victory of this Chase and fifth of the season. He leaned this week on team co-owner Tony Stewart, a three-time champion, and Jimmie Johnson, the six-time champion who moved from California to North Carolina to chase AP Photo/Alan Diaz a career in NASCAR about the Kevin Harvick raises his trophy as he celebrates after winning same time as Harvick made the the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship series auto race in move east.

Rams, Hill pull off shocker against Broncos By The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Shaun Hill was effective in his first start since regaining the quarterback job and the St. Louis Rams defense made life miserable for Peyton Manning in a 22-7 victory over the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos on Sunday. Rookie Tre Mason had 29 carries for 113 yards, the most allowed by the Broncos’ top-ranked run defense. Kenny Britt had four catches for 128 yards with a 63-yard score and Greg Zuerlein was a career-best 5 for 5 on field goals for the Rams (4-6). Manning was 34 for 54 for 389 yards with two interceptions, but was held to a 42-yard touchdown pass to

Emmanuel Sanders, ending a streak of 15 consecutive games with at least two touchdown passes. The Broncos (7-3) were held to 28 yards rushing and failed twice on fourth down deep in St. Louis territory. Manning threw incomplete from the 37 in the first quarter and rookie Aaron Donald’s sack helped end a drive in the fourth quarter on fourthand-4 from the 28. PATRIOTS 42, COLTS 20 INDIANAPOLIS — Jonas Gray rushed for 199 yards and a franchise-record four touchdowns in his fourth career game. Tom Brady threw two TD passes as the

AFC-best Patriots (8-2) earned their sixth consecutive victory. New England also has won five in a row against Indianapolis (64). Brady finished 19 of 30 for 257 yards with two interceptions. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was 23 of 39 for 303 yards with two scores. He extended his franchise record of consecutive 300-yard games to eight and moved within one of Drew Brees’ NFL record. But the unheralded Gray was the surprise star. His first two scoring runs gave New England a 14-10 halftime lead. His other two helped put the game away in the second half.

CHIEFS 24, SEAHAWKS 20

stopped Seattle on fourth down three times late in the fourth quarter, holding on for a tense victory in a matchup of playoff contenders. Jamaal Charles ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns, and Knile Davis also ran for a score, as the Chiefs (7-3) won their fifth straight game and moved into a tie for first in the AFC West. Russell Wilson threw for 178 yards and two touchdowns, and Marshawn Lynch had 124 yards rushing for Seattle (6-4). But the Seahawks’ star running back, fresh off a four-touchdown game, was stuffed twice by the Kansas City defense with the outcome hanging in the balance.

Along with his TD, he recorded a strip sack, made five tackles — three for a loss — recovered a fumble and hurried Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer into several bad throws. Watt provided more proof he’s the NFL’s best defensive player. Mallett threw a pair of TD passes and finished with 211 yards in his first career start. The four-year veteran was promoted during the bye week after the Texans (5-5) benched Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Sharks’ Grosenick wins NHL debut vs. Hurricanes By The Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Tomas Hertl scored his fourth goal of the season and rookie goalkeeper Troy Grosenick stopped 45 shots in his NHL debut to lead the San Jose Sharks to a 2-0 win over Carolina on Sunday. Hertl scored at 18:46 of the first period on a Sharks’ two-on-one drive to the net. His shot skittered underneath Carolina defenseman Andrej Sekera and between the pads of Anton Khudobin. Joe Thornton added an empty-net goal with 7.3 seconds left in the game for the Sharks. San Jose (10-8-2), playing its sixth game of a seven-game road trip, evened their record to 3-3 on the trip. The Sharks have played 15 of their first 21 games on the road and will play at Buffalo on Tuesday before returning home. Carolina lost its third straight game,

PAUL — Marco Scandella scored at 1:01 of overtime after missing two games with an illness to give Minnesota a win over Winnipeg. Minnesota was reeling after blowing a 3-0 lead in the third period and getting outplayed by the scrappy Jets. But Scandella’s third goal of the season — a low wrist shot from just inside the blue line that beat Michael Hutchinson — prevented the Wild from losing their second game this year after losing a three-goal lead. Zach Parise scored two goals in his return from a concussion and helped give Minnesota a 3-0 lead after the first. But Winnipeg scored three goals in five minutes in the third to tie it and fire up the loud

BEARS 21, VIKINGS 13 CHICAGO — Jay Cutler threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns, and Chicago won for just the second time in seven games, beating Minnesota. Ryan Mundy intercepted Teddy Bridgewater’s 29-yard pass in the end zone in the closing minute, and the Bears hung on for the win after suffering two of the worst blowout losses in franchise history. Alshon Jeffery had 135 yards receiving and a touchdown catch, Brandon Marshall added 90 yards and two TD receptions, and Matt Forte ran for 117 yards. Jared Allen had a sack against his former team, and the Bears (46) prevailed after joining the 1923 Rochester Jeffersons as the only teams to give up 50 or more points in consecutive games with blowouts at New England and Green Bay. But it was a different story against the Vikings (4-6).

The matchup of NFC contenders quickly became a blowout with the Packers (7-3) racing out to a 30-6 halftime lead. Rodgers threw for two touchdowns in the first half, while Micah Hyde scored on a 75-yard punt return. Peppers finished off the Eagles by returning Mark Sanchez’s pass 52 yards for a 39-6 lead in the third quarter.

BENGALS 27, SAINTS 10 NEW ORLEANS — Andy Dalton rebounded from one of the worst outings of his career by passing for three touchdowns, and Cincinnati handed New Orleans its second straight loss. For Dalton, the game represented a dramatic reversal from a week ago, when he completed only 10 passes for 86 yards and had a passer rating of 2.0 in a 24-3 loss to Cleveland. Against New Orleans (4-6), Dalton gave the Bengals (6-3-1) an early lead they never relinquished. He was 16 of 22 for 220 yards, did not throw an interception and finished with a passer rating of 143.9. Two of Dalton’s touchdown passes went to tight end Jermaine Gresham and the other to A.J.

Then Evander Kane scored his second goal this season when his backhander from the bottom of the right circle bounced off Backstrom’s pads and in between his legs at 8:19.

LANDOVER, Md. — Mike Evans caught seven passes for 209 yards and scored two touchdowns to help Tampa Bay (2-8) end a five-game losing streak. Evans became the first rookie to post three consecutive 100-yard games with at least one touchdown in each since Randy Moss in 1998. According to STATS, he’s also the first rookie with 200 yards receiving and two touchdowns since Anquan Boldin in 2003. Evans finished 7 yards shy of Vincent Jackson’s franchise record of 216. Evans is the youngest player in NFL history with a 200-yard receiving game. It was his third consecutive game with at least seven catches, 100 yards receiving and a touchdown catch. He is the first rookie in NFL history to accomplish the feat. Tampa Bay’s defense also showed up, forcing three turnovers and sacking Robert Griffin III six times on the latest embarrassing day for the Redskins (3-7), who were booed early and often.

CANADIENS 4, RED WINGS 1 DETROIT — Brendan Gallagher had a goal and an assist while Dustin Tokarski made 28 saves as the Montreal beat Detroit. Two nights after dominating the Blackhawks in a 4-1 win, the Red Wings took too long to get untracked against another Original Six rival. Detroit only managed 10 shots in the first two periods despite four power plays. Montreal took a 1-0 lead at 3:20 of the second, shortly after killing a Red Wings penalty. Detroit botched a line change, allowing Brandon Prust to pick up a loose puck and beat Jimmy Howard with a wrist

shot from the top of the faceoff circle.

BLACKHAWKS 6, STARS 2 CHICAGO — Patrick Kane and Kris Versteeg each had a goal and two assists, and the Chicago rallied with four goals in the third period to defeat Dallas. Kane connected from a sharp angle early in the third period to snap a 2-2 tie. Jonathan Toews, Versteeg, and Brandon Saad scored in a 2:55 span later in the period to put the game away. Defensemen Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook scored in the first period as Chicago won for the third time in four games. Dallas’ Curtis McKenzie recorded his first NHL goal and Shawn Horcoff also scored for the Stars, who have dropped two straight and won just two of their last 11 (2-7-2).

two goals and two assists, and Brad Boyes scored twice during the Florida’s four-goal second period in a victory over Anaheim.

Sports Briefs Federer hurt, Djokovic wins ATP Finals LONDON — In a potential blow to Switzerland’s Davis Cup ambitions, Roger Federer pulled out of the ATP Finals less than one hour before his title match against Novak Djokovic on Sunday, handing a third straight title at the year-end event to the top-ranked Serb. The 17-time Grand Slam champion said he hurt his back in the nearly three-hour semifinal win over Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka on Saturday night in which Federer saved four match points. “Unfortunately I’m not match fit,” the 33-year-old Swiss told the crowd at the O2 Arena. “I tried everything I could last night, also today: painkillers, treatment, rest, so forth, warm-up, until the very end. But I just can’t compete at this level with Novak. It would be too risky at my age to do this right now and I hope you understand.”

“I live in the moment,” she said, “and that’s where I am today.” Finding a good support group is the key to making it, she said. “I had no support network,” she said. “I had to start from within.” She networked with people through the prison’s orchestra program. “I picked up a cello and that led me to a group of friends that led me to another group of friends,” she said. She secured her present job at Fire Island Bakeshop while still playing in the prison orchestra. “Part of it was luck, and part of it was choices,” she said. Burkhart’s story was similar: Substance abuse and bad decisions steered her toward numerous prison stints. “I knew I had to completely change my surroundings, change my friends. I had to let them go, and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she said. It was a slow process, not an easy thing for someone used to a hard and fast lifestyle. Her life was further hampered by the ankle monitor she was forced to wear. “About the only thing I could do when I got out was go pee in

chaos,” he said. Most of the company’s growth has occurred via word of mouth. Next, Mink hopes to spread in the major cities where it operates: Chicago, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and Madison, Wis. Historically, much of the region has had “horrendous access” to wild seafood. It’s also where many of the participating fishermen have roots, Mink said. Mink did a trial run of Sitka

a cup and go to meetings and stay home and watch TV,” she said. Those restrictions forced her to do something she had never done before: Slow down and think about what she wanted in life. She’s been clean now for four years and works as a legal assistant at a law firm manager. “I never knew how to be a strong and self-sufficient woman,” she said. “I only knew how to hustle and make it on the street. Getting out of my comfort zone saved my life.” The afternoon ended with journal readings from Martha Amore’s writing workshop participants, who shared short essays about drug addiction, losing custody of children and shuffling in and out of jail. “Here stands a beautiful and strong rose that grew from concrete,” Melina Dayer said, and her voice trembled with tears.

“They recycle all the parts of the electronics in an environmentally appropriate way,” said Wallace. “In other words, it’s not sent to third-world countries to pollute the water.” Wallace was referring to the practices of recyclers who export waste to overseas stockpiles, frequently in Africa or China, in order to take advantage of loosely-monitored environmental policies and cheap, unregulated labor. This practice is common among recyclers of e-waste, which can be expensive, difficult, and hazardous to recycle. Reilly Kosinski, Total Reclaim’s Environmental Health Specialist, said that his company’s compliance with the Estewards standards ensures that their recycling practices are sound. Kosinski’s job is to monitor and evaluate his company’s recycling process against these standards. When ReGroup’s shipment of e-waste leaves the Soldotna landfill, its first destination will be Anchorage, where it will be sorted and prepared for shipment to Seattle. Upon arrival at Total Reclaim’s Seattle demanufacturing facility, the material’s first stop will be Total Reclaim’s Asset Management Department, which erases any data remaining in the devices.

After being wiped, some items are disassembled to find components that may still be functional. “Just under one percent of the material that comes in goes to our re-use department, where they test it to see if they can resell it,” said Kosinski. “Every item has its own little market.” Hard-drives, batteries, and screens are then removed. Due to the mercury contained in the fluorescent lighting of LCD panels, screens are sent to a separate facility to be disassembled manually. The rest of the device is fed through a machine. At this stage, component metals are separated into two categories: ferrous metals, or alloys containing iron, and nonferrous metals, without iron. “Our shredder and our smasher, the two main processing machines we have down in Washington, have a series of magnets that help separate out the ferrous metals,” said Kosinski. The non-ferrous metals found in circuit boards are the most valuable of the materials collected from e-waste. Kosinski said the category includes common materials such as aluminum and copper, as well as precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. When asked what technology Total Reclaim uses to sort out the various kinds of non-ferrous metals, Kosinski replied, “humans.” Although

Total Reclaim does use technological processes in some metal-sorting, Kosinski said that “it’s definitely better to have a well-trained human do it if you want to maximize your value.” While Total Reclaim does much of its recycling work at its own facilities under supervision from internal monitors like Kosinski, many e-waste components require special processing. Laptop screens are handled by a specialist, in this case by Total Reclaim’s sister company EcoLight, which also handles mercury-containing fluorescent lightbulbs. Most of the various battery types used in consumer electronics must also be passed to a specialist. Kosinski said that his job includes monitoring not only Total Reclaim’s own practices, but those of its partners. “They have to comply with the e-stewards standards as well,” he said. “In every case, we have to ensure that everything is actually being recycled. And being done so in an environmentally and safety-conscious manner.” Some of Total Reclaim’s partners are circuit board smelters, who receive the fragmented circuits that have been picked over by Total Reclaim’s workers and incinerate them to extract gold, copper, and other metals from the fine circuitry. According to Kosinski, a smelter can extract up to 18 different metals from a circuit board.

Total Reclaim deals with a variety of smelting operations, changing them in response to metal markets in different parts of the world. The recipients of their crushed circuit boards are frequently overseas. “A lot of it (Total Reclaim’s export partnerships) changes based on who can give you the best value, but they still have to fit those e-steward certification standard requirements,” said Kosinski. Some recyclers give circuit boards to workers who incinerate them in open fires and pick out the metals by hand, allowing toxins to escape from the smoke and ash into the nearby environment. By contrast, wellcontrolled incineration takes place in a closed environment, and e-steward standards require frequent atmospheric testing of the burn site. “There’s a huge difference between doing it right and doing it wrong,” said Kosinski. “A lot of these smelters have gotten better and better at not only extracting all of the value from circuit boards, but also doing it in a responsible manner. Smelters now recover more value than the ones doing it the dirty way. At this point in time, you’re actually better off doing it right — you make more profit.”

Salmon Shares in 2011, and launched the program in full in 2012. It’s grown every year since then; in 2014, he expected to move 80,000 pounds of processed fish. “I think that there’s a tremendous amount of growth that I see in this type of marketplace, and I only think that more and more fishermen are going to enter into these types of relationships,” he said. Alaska Glacier Seafoods Plant Facilitator Peter Hochstoeger said his company has processed fish for Sitka Salmon Shares for two years. There’s plenty of room in the market

for the top-end type of product the company is selling, he said. “They’re not just selling fish,” he said. “They’re letting you know where the products come from, and the origin, and in a way they’re selling Alaska too.” Hochstoeger said that essentially, the CSF is selling a story. “You’re not just buying from a counter,” he said. “I think the idea’s great. Who doesn’t love a good story?” Mink said he also sees CSFs as a way to help develop younger fishermen and stop the graying of the fleet. In addition to buying fish, the company provides no-interest loans to start

the season and has helped some younger fishers get into trolling in Southeast, he said. Mink said that Sitka Salmon Shares wound up working with younger fishermen in part because that was who he met when he was living with, and helped start the company. They also tend to believe in the company’s mission, he said. “They’ve grown up in a world, like I have, where connecting to your food is an important thing,” he said. Sitka isn’t the only place where locally-caught fish is delivered via the CSF model. Kodiak fishermen partnered

with the Alaska Marine Conservation Council on a Kodiak Jig program last winter. Darius Kasprzak, a Kodiak resident and long-time fisher, has worked in most of Alaska’s commercial fisheries. He’s jigged for about half of his 30-year fishing career, a gear type that he says affords entry level access and provides good control over bycatch. In 2014, he participated in AMCC’s CSF, which paid more than other places where he could deliver his fish. “This is the very beginning,” he said. “I’m still going to have to go volume fishing to make

my living for the summer, but it’s got to start somewhere.” The higher price is compensation for more intensive practices, including immersion bleeding in slush ice and hand layering the fish to avoid bruising, which produce a higher quality product. Kodiak jig fish was marketed to individual consumers, as well as restaurants. Chef Natalie Janicka of Bear Tooth in Anchorage said she tried the fish at home, and the quality was as described; she knew she needed to purchase some for the restaurant. “It was just amazing” Janicka said in April.

Artist in residence moves students By KELLY SULLIVAN Peninsula Clarion

Standing before a packed gymnasium in black socks and a blue Soldotna Elementary Tshirt, Homer-based artist Eddie Wood plucked at the bowlsized thumb piano cupped in his hands. Over the soft musical notes, Wood told the staff and students the story of his two weeks as an artist in residence at their school Friday. Wood said he showed up at the school on a Sunday afternoon. Principal Teri Diamond, and music teacher Tor Dahl, helped him unpack his car full of marimbas, drums and shakers, he said. “Two weeks is way too fast, fast, fast,” Wood said. “I am done and I am sad, sad, sad. But I will be back.” Once Wood moved his instruments into the school’s music room, he settled down in his home away from home with Hamilton Hunt’s family. Then the real work began. Wood met with each class three times throughout his two-week residency. He then had to make the hard choice of which four classes would perform with him in front of

to bring an artist in residence to her school for some time, Wood said. It was no easy task, he said. The biggest barrier to putting an artist in local schools is finding funding, Wood said. The percussionist storyteller’s trip was sponsored through the Bunnell Street Arts Center in Homer, which received funding from Alaska Council on the Arts, he said. During the final performance many students created their own solos, Wood said. His only guidance was “respect yourself, and respect your instrument,” the rest was all their own doing, he said. Wood said some of the students really took off with the music such as Daniel McCorrie. “Everyone can do it, but like basketball, skiing or making an omelet, some pick it up faster,” Wood said. Wood said teaching students is one of his major passions. He said it shows students how to pursue and explore personal interests and introduces them to different art forms that may open their minds to other possibilities.

Foundation funds scholarships, humanities program Clarence Goodrich and his wife Anna came to Alaska in 1956, to visit. Clarence and Anna spent some time looking around Alaska. “Then, just out of the blue,” said Anna, “Clarence filed on a homestead on the Kenai Peninsula.” It was early 1957, the year oil was discovered on the Swanson River. The Goodrich homestead was in Slikok Valley (now near the Echo Lake and Gaswell Roads) well outside of Soldotna. Clarence Goodrich was a tenacious supporter and advocate who helped in the initial establishment of Kenai Peninsula College. Partnering with KPC’s Founding Director Clayton Brockel, Goodrich was a doer, not a talker. Goodrich actually constructed College Road, carefully planning and building a “nice, winding driveway” off K-Beach Road. The Goodrich’s established the Damon Foundation, donating

K enai P eninsula C ollege A round C ampus their daughter Frances’ estate, consisting of a 160-acre homestead adjacent to KPC’s Kenai River Campus. A rock monument with a plaque was installed on the property adjacent to the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank in 1985 that marks this permanent gift: “This 160-acre parcel was donated to the University of Alaska by Clarence and Anna Goodrich in memory of their daughter, Frances Helen Damon, and grandson, Lawrence E. Damon, who were killed in the 1964 tidal wave, resulting from the Good Friday earthquake, at Whittier, Alas-

ka.” The second building (Phase II) at the Kenai River Campus was dedicated and named the Goodrich Building during graduation ceremonies in May, 1975. The Damon Memorial Foundation manages a generous endowment to benefit the college. At their annual meeting the committee voted to award two, full year scholarships, capped at 13 credits per semester, and providing $2,000 to the Anna Goodrich Humanities Program that supports the KRC Showcase series in FY16. In addition to Goodrich’s descendants, the Foundation board includes Hal Smalley, Kenai Peninsula College Council representative and Council member Mike Frost serves in the financial services seat as required by the Damon Administrative Agreement.

Film as literature course Instructor Bob Amundson has announced that he will again offer Humanities A220: Film as/and Literature this spring semester. The popular course focuses on Film Noir and the literature that inspired these “dark films” which were produced between 1945 and 1955. Film Noir, a term coined by French film critics, has been recognized as a unique American cinematic art form. Common characteristics of these films include the use of black and white film stock and high contrast lighting, frequent use of oblique/

high/low camera shots, and voice-over narration; which when employed, allowed the story to unfold as a series of flashbacks. Film Noir plot lines dealt with doomed love triangles, femme-fatales, obsessive/ aberrant behaviors, lone-wolf and altruistic private eyes, and a host of alienated and flawed characters set against the backdrop of large, impersonal cities in post-World War II America. Student assigned reading will include works by Lionel White (“Clean Break”), David Goodis (“Dark Passage”), Patricia Highsmith (“Strangers on a Train”), and Kenneth Fearing (“The Big Clock”). For more information, please contact Amundson at bobamundson@hotmail.com.

New mother’s baby trumps mother-in-law’s wedding DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are pregnant with our first child. We are beyond excited and can’t wait for our little one to get here. Our problem: My mother-inlaw is getting married two weeks after our baby is supposed to arrive, and she’s expecting all of us to go. While I’m happy she has found someone she wants to spend her life with, I will not be there and neither will our child. I have told my husband this and explained my concerns, but I will support him if he decides to go since it’s his mother. How can I turn her down in a polite way so it doesn’t sound like I’m a horrible daughter-in-law? — FIRST-TIME MAMA DEAR FIRST-TIME MAMA: Unless a woman is having a C-section, babies don’t always arrive on the expected due date. Sometimes they can be a week late — or more. If you feel you need time to rest, recuperate and get your child on a regular nursing schedule, tell that to your mother-in-law. As a new mother you are going to have to quickly learn to prioritize, and your child’s well-being and your health must come first. Expect her to be disappointed, but make clear that you love her and wish her a lifetime of happiness, but you will be unable to attend. DEAR ABBY: Is it OK for an older woman to wear

fancy, colorful tights? My wife is 5 feet tall and weighs 110. She’s in good health and works out at the gym regularly. She wears her tights there, or when she’s working in the garden or at the market. She dresses conservatively for work and church. I overheard some of the local ladies say she shouldn’t be wearing leopard tights “at her age.” I’m afraid my wife Abigail Van Buren will overhear it one of these days and be hurt. What is your opinion? She still looks wonderful to me. — MARRIED TO A HOTTIE DEAR MARRIED: As an adult — and in good shape — your wife should wear anything that pleases her, including leopard tights if she wishes. It appears the local women are more jealous kitties than ladies. “Nice” ladies don’t make catty comments behind someone’s back. DEAR ABBY: On Oct. 11 you printed my letter about feeling like an overlooked middle child. In the

words at the right time, only someone might not hear them. This person could be too wrapped up in his or her own issues. The unexpected will occur with a friend or in a meeting. Tonight: Finish up any important work, then decide. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You’ll want to initiate a conversation in the morning, yet as the day goes on, you might have mixed feelings. You will gain a new perspective on this matter once you detach from the thought of having the actual talk. Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert on the way home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A conversation will let you know that you and a friend are on the same page. A child or loved one could distract you, which is likely to make it difficult to pay attention to this person. Consider taking part of the day off. Tonight: Make light of the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHYour high energy might be offputting to those who are experiencing a slow start to the day. Others won’t be as positive or as open as you seem to be. By the afternoon, consider getting a head start on holiday shopping — at least make a list. Tonight: Run errands on the way home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be out of sorts in the morning, but by the afternoon, you’ll feel a change in energy. Make an important phone call or start an important project. A partner or loved one could act in the most unpredictable manner. Remain nurturing and kind. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH In the morning, there could be

comments on your website was an outpouring of support and friendly tips. I am happy to say I am now involved in extracurricular activities. I’m much happier, and would like to thank all your readers who took the time to give me so much support. — FORMERLY NOWHERE IN INDIANA DEAR FORMERLY NOWHERE: Thank you for letting us know that you’re happier and doing better. Dear Abby readers are the most caring and generous people in the world. I’m glad their comments in response to your letter gave you the boost you needed to get through a difficult time. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Scorpio and a Moon in Virgo if born before 2:30 p.m. (PST). Afterward, the Moon will be in Libra. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Nov. 17, 2014: This year you go back and forth between networking and socializing to spending time alone doing some serious intellectualizing. You will find that those in your daily life can be very unpredictable. In a strange way, you’ll enjoy the excitement. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance next fall. In the meantime, enjoy dating. If you are attached, the two of you have become great friends. During difficult times, your friendship comes into play. You will benefit from taking weekends away together. LIBRA can be flighty. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might be overthinking a problem that you feel you must handle today. A serious talk with a loved one could result in an effective solution. Tune in to your instincts if you feel someone or an offer is too good to be true. Tonight: Get together with a friend for dinner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your creativity dominates the early morning. You might wonder why someone seems so serious. In an attempt to change this person’s mood, you might cause a problem. Try to listen to what he or she has to say, and honor his or her feelings. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You seem to have the right

an awkward moment or two with a friend, but you’ll still be able to complete whatever you are doing. In the evening, you might be doing a lot of thinking. Do yourself a favor and don’t jump to any conclusions yet. Tonight: Play it low-key. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be much fussier than you realize, and it is likely to cause a problem. It is important to know when to let go of certain issues, especially when dealing with others, as they could personalize your comments. The afternoon allows a key meeting to go smoothly. Be ready to encounter an awkward moment or two. Tonight: Catch up on weekend news. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Detach, and try not to get involved in a situation that might be difficult to handle. With a broader perspective, what might have seemed like a big issue suddenly will be irrelevant. It would be smart to let others deal with it in the way they want. Tonight: Till the wee hours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Deal with others directly, as you are likely to benefit from having one-on-one conversations. Some of you could be eyeing a major change within a relationship, while others might be about to meet someone new. Tonight: Daydream all you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Allow greater give-and-take between you and others. Have a conversation with someone whom you rarely speak to but who often facilitates your life. One-on-one relating will be highlighted in the afternoon. Tonight: Continue the theme of togetherness.

Not-So-Fresh Air Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Sound Off, about restaurant and store air fresheners: “One of my biggest pet peeves is going into a restaurant or store restroom and the air freshener is so strong that it is causing my COPD to act up. I understand the air freshener being there, but have they ever heard of it not being so overpowering that you can’t breathe? I avoid stores that sell candles or bath fragrances, and some home-decorating stores.” — B.S., via email Some stores do “crank up” the holiday aroma during this time of year. Many times in a public restroom, especially if the building is older (which can mean old plumbing), the strong scent is used to mask other odors. About the only thing you can do is exactly what you are doing. You don’t have to go into a store, and you can order via phone, mail or online. — Heloise

SUDOKU

By Tom Wilson

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers. The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.
