Governor’s race goes to Walker

Landing zone

By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Independent candidate Bill Walker has won the Alaska governor’s race, following an aggressive challenge to Republican Gov. Sean Parnell that included joining campaigns with a Democratic rival. “I am beyond myself with excitement,” Walker said Friday evening. “It has been a long, long journey with a whole lot of Alaskans at my side.” Walker grabbed a slim lead on election night, but the race was too close to call while absentee and questioned voters were counted this week. Walker won Friday when it became evident that Parnell could not overcome Walker’s lead. Walker stopped short of an outright claim of victory, saying he wants to study districts where thousands of remaining ballots remain uncounted.

New helipad benefits area emergency responders By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

Since work began 14 months ago on the PRL Logistics Inc. facility at Kenai Landing, CEO Ron Hyde has strived to be a good neighbor in the community. With the recent completion of a heliport on the property, Kenai’s south beach area now has an emergency access point to provide quick medical transport. On Friday, Hyde invited first responders from Kenai police and fire departments, Central Emergency Services and representatives from Hilcorp, AK LNG and XTO Energy for the first helicopter night landing and a patient package demonstra-

Flight warning issued for Pavlof Volcano By AUDREY McAVOY Associated Press

The National Weather Service on Saturday warned airplanes to avoid airspace near an erupting Alaska volcano as it spewed ash 30,000 feet above sea level. Winds were blowing ash from Pavlof Volcano to the west and southwest. Pavlof began erupting, pushing lava out from a vent near its summit, on Wednesday. On Friday, the ash cloud reached 16,000 feet. The eruption intensified at 6 a.m. Saturday, sending the ash cloud higher, said Dave Schneider, a geophysicist at Alaska Volcano Observatory. It’s not clear how long this eruption will last, Schneider said. Pavlof’s eruptions may last for weeks or months with varying levels of intensity, he

said. Pavlof is Alaska’s most active volcano and is located about 625 miles southwest of Anchorage. It’s had more than 40 recorded eruptions, including earlier this year and last year. It also lies along popular international air routes connecting Europe, North America and Asia. The eruption has had little effect on people on the ground. The closest community, Cold Bay, is 40 miles away. Observers there reported seeing dark snow on the surface of the volcano Wednesday, indicating an eruption had started. There have been some small avalanches of hot rock down the north flank of the volcano. These may produce local mud flows to the north, but scientists say they would likely be minor.

The Federal Aviation Association has inspected the pad, classified as a private heliport facility. Hyde said he went the extra mile with features that exceed FAA standards for helicopter operations. The 100-by-100-foot pad is heated, painted and lighted and has a nearby pilothouse equipped with radio communication and high speed internet. Tim Nixon, director of flight operations with LifeMed Alaska, said the pad is beautiful. “We are excited to use it one day, except that means its somebody else’s bad day,” he said. Hyde said he took time and care into

Parnell’s campaign spokesman, Luke Miller, said Friday evening that the campaign was reviewing the returns and he had no immediate further comment. Walker, an attorney and former mayor of Valdez, is the first candidate unaffiliated with a party to be elected governor since statehood. Walker’s mentor, Wally Hickel, served a term as governor with the Alaskan Independence Party, a recognized third-party in the state, before going back to the GOP. Walker, who finished second to Parnell in the 2010 GOP gubernatorial primary, bypassed this year’s primary by gathering signatures to support an outside run. But Walker didn’t change his party affiliation from Republican to undeclared until forming a “unity ticket” on the November ballot with Democrat Byron Mallott as the candidate for lieutenant governor.

State sells stake in Endeavour By ELWOOD BREHMER Morris News Service-Alaska/ Alaska Journal of Commerce

The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority sold its stake in Kenai Offshore Ventures for $25.6 million and the Endeavour jack-up rig is on its way out of Cook Inlet, the authority announced Nov. 14. Ezion Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiary Teras Investments approached AIDEA to purchase its share of Kenai Offshore Ventures after the joint-venture company was unable to secure long-term work for the Endeavour in the Inlet. “The Endeavour helped spur a renaissance of exploration in Cook Inlet, and was key in the discovery of a major oil and gas find in the Cosmopolitan unit. The rig’s presence in Alaska

promoted significant job creation and economic activity in Cook Inlet,” AIDEA Executive Director Ted Leonard said in a release. The sale price includes the original investment and a remaining dividend due to the authority, according to spokesman Karsten Rodvik. With just more than $4 million of dividends in 2013 and 2014, AIDEA will clear about $5 million when the sale closes on Jan. 31, 2015, Rodvik wrote in an email. AIDEA bought into Kenai Offshore Ventures as a preferred investor for $23.6 million in 2011. The state development authority is a self-supporting enterprise that pays an annual dividend to the State of Alaska. See RIG, page A-2

PCHS offers classes for health insurance signups By RASHAH MCCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

With the second open enrollment period for the Affordable Health Care Act underway, Alaskans will have another opportunity to sign up for insurance through Alaska’s online marketplace. But, navigating the world of copays, doctors, hospitals, coinsurance and deductibles can be confusing for some and Soldotna-based Peninsula Community Health Services of Alaska is offering classes for those who are interested, mandated to sign up or uncertain about the available health insurance options. During the bi-weekly Tuesday meetings, PCHS Certified Application Counselors Tina Wegener and Kelly Whitmore are available for an open-house style class from 7-9 p.m. at C

Health insurance sign-up class offered Peninsula Community Health Services will provide access to affordable insurance via: Affordable Care Act, Denali Care, Medicare and VA Enrollment. This is a free service. This is an open house style class. Fully qualified staff will be on site to help answer questions. For more information call 260-3691. Services are available from 7-9 p.m. at Soldotna Prep (formerly SMS) on the following dates: — November 18 — December 2 — December 16 the Soldotna Prep (formerly Soldotna Middle School), 426 W. Redoubt Ave., in Soldotna, to discuss health care options and guide applicants through the process of finding access to health insurance in Alaska. In addition to the Affordable Care Act marketplace, Wegener said the two also guide people through Denali Care, Medicare and Veterans

Administration benefits that may be available. “There’s a fear factor that’s a part of insurance and especially for people who haven’t had insurance before, there’s a huge fear factor,” Wegener said. “Even people who already have insurance, they’re wondering, ‘How is this going to affect me with the insurance that I have, See HELP, page A-2

developing one of the best heliports in Southcentral Alaska. Except for the two local airports and at Central Peninsula Hospital, the only other heliport is the Offshore Systems Kenai in Nikiski. Hyde, who started PRL Logistics in Anchorage in 2002, selected Kenai as his second base of operations because of its proximity to the Cook Inlet. He invested more than $2 million in renovations to the more than 100-year-old cannery at Kenai Landing. The facility, housed at the former Libby, McNeill and Libby cannery, is a logistics campus that houses people, provides meals, a meeting and training space and marine, road and air access. Hyde has employed a staff of 10 logistics

professionals, project managers and field personnel at the Kenai branch as well as subcontracts with local businesses for trucking, aviation and marine purposes and equipment providers. The campus has lodging for oil and gas industry companies to house personnel who work in remote areas to locations on the Cook Inlet. The facility also has a dock on the mouth of the Kenai River for small- to medium-sized vessels to access the Cook Inlet. During summer construction of the facility, Hyde said he witnessed a couple of boating accidents during dipnet season. While the city provided great response, he said one of his goals was to provide added protection and quick transportation for emergency services. Kenai Fire Marshal Tommy Carver said having a helipad at the landing is vital because it provides quick medical access

to south beach area. In his experience he’s had to set up two landing zones for helicopters on the beach. It can be hectic to try and clear a safe landing zone with thousands of people on the beach, he said. The fire department and CES have trained in swiftwater rescue and to have a dock and staging area so close is “fantastic,” he said. “If we have a dipnetter in the water and we need a place to get him out and possibly use this helipad it’s literally a few feet away from the bank of the river,” Carver said. “Hopefully we never need it. If we do we know it’s here.” After an introduction from Hyde, his staff and guests for the heliport demonstration, Nixon gave a presentation and provided information to the audience who could potentially call for “rapid transport of the critically injured.” Nixon informed responders on the best

tial of new oil and gas facilities and bringing a new drill rig to the Inlet. “We remain bullish on Cook Inlet,” Hemsath said. Originally, now-bankrupt Buccaneer Energy Ltd. partnered with AIDEA and Ezion to bring the jack-up rig to Alaska. Buccaneer sold its 50 percent share in Kenai Offshore Ventures to Ezion for $23.9 million in January. At the time Buccaneer said the proceeds form the sale would be used to finance capital expenses and repay debt.

UAF mulls program cuts FAIRBANKS (AP) — The University of Alaska Fairbanks it reviewing academic programs for possible elimination as it looks to cut $14 million from its budget. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports the school hopes to save $3 million annually by trimming academic offerings. The school told more than 40 departments this week they may be cut. Theatre, geography and philosophy are among the programs under review. Provost Susan Henrichs says no one is eager to eliminate programs. But she says the school no longer has the funding to pay for everything it’s used to having.

or the insurance that I’m losing or the insurance I might be changing?’” PCHS offered the same classes during the 2013 enrollment period, and while attendance was steady, people didn’t seem ready to commit to signing up through the exchange, Wegener said. PCHS counselors assisted more than 2,000 people during the first open-enrollment period, according to Wegener’s data. Of that, about 500 used PCHA to help enroll in an insurance plan. “The response was there, but there was not a lot of followup,” she said. “This year, there’s a lot of follow-up. There are people coming into class and I’m answering their questions and they’re following up with me by calling or emailing.” Some people who attend the classes don’t qualify for coverage under the health insurance marketplace or other state and federal aid programs in Alaska, either because they make less than the $14,580 cutoff or because they do not meet the age requirements for Medicaid and Medicare. Another common problem on the Kenai Peninsula, Wegener said, is people who have not filed taxes regularly. Under the ACA, there are penalties, or individual mandate fees, for those who do not carry health insurance. “It’s a common roadblock,” she said. “They’re living off of the grid. If they don’t file taxes … they’re not going to be paying the penalty fees because — as of this point — the IRS wouldn’t know they exist.” For those who decide to sign up for health insurance, being off-the-grid can present a problem. “They need to have proof that you exist,” Wegener said. The IRS is also tasked with keeping track of the fees assessed to those who have not signed up for health insurance. For those who did not sign up in 2014, the fee is 1 percent of a person’s yearly household income, or $95 per person for the year — half that for a child under 18. The maximum penalty per family is $285. But, those penalties increase. In 2015 the fine will be 2 percent of the yearly household income or $325 per person — whichever is larger. The maximum penalty for a family increases to $975. The fees have come as a rude shock for some who were waiting to see if the law would be overturned or changed before signing up for health insurance. “People are starting to understand, ‘Wait a minute, this is going to hurt me,’” Wegener said. Other problems that Peninsula residents seem to have regularly are that they lack the proper paperwork, have language barriers, or live in hyperrural areas that make it difficult for insurance counselors to find and educate them. “I hiked to a little Russian village last year and met with the townspeople there and helped as many as I could,” Wegener said. “A few of them signed up. We just don’t have access to towns or to communities the way the Lower 48 does.” Despite all of the complications, Wegener said she is hapC

practices to prepare a landing zone and what information to communicate prior to their arrival. LifeMed Alaska has two Astar helicopters at their disposal with one pilot and two medical personnel on board with room for single-patient transport. At night helicopter pilots use night vision, which improves their vision from 20/200 to 20/40. Hyde said the package patient exercise is to familiarize everyone on the complexity involved from getting a patient from where an incident occurred to where treatment will take place and all the steps in between. Brooke Marcotte, Kenai PRL Logistics facility coordinator, was volunteered to be the patient for the exercise. Once Nixon called for a helicopter, CES and Kenai paramedics prepared her for transport by getting her on a stretcher and loading her into an ambulance.

After the LifeMed helicopter arrived within 10 minutes of being dispatched, the ambulance backed up to the edge of the pad and the paramedics turned Marcotte over to the flight staff, who loaded her into the helicopter. “I didn’t know I was going to be the victim until 20 minutes ago,” Marcotte said. “It was nice to see the collaboration between the various agencies out here. We are really working on developing relationships in Kenai and have been welcomed with open arms.” Carver has inspected the logistics complex on multiple occasions during the renovation to make sure all the buildings are up to fire code. He said everything the staff does is with community in mind. LifeMed Alaska nurse Scott Marion said the helipad is a vital addition to the area because now helicopters have a medical evacuation access close to the

What to bring If you are applying or renewing coverage through the health insurance marketplace, here is the information you’ll need to apply for coverage: n Home and mailing addresses for everyone applying for coverage n Social security numbers n Document information for legal immigrants including proof of citizenship n Employer and income information for every member of the household – like pay stubs or W-2 forms n Your best estimate of what your household income will be in 2015 n Policy numbers for any current health insurance plans covering members of your household n A completed “Employer Coverage Tool” for every job-based plan you or someone in your household is eligible for.

river. “A lot of sport fisherman frequent this area and if someone fell into the water this would be a great spot to meet up with fire departments and get a patient to a high level of care,” Marion said. Marion said the fact that it’s a heated pad is significant for transport in the winter months because snow and ice build up is hazardous to walk on and load a patient. Hyde grew up in Bush Alaska and was a village public safety officer and search and rescue coordinator near Bethel and Dillingham prior to launching his company. “Managing safe care extraction of an injured victim has always been a part of my life,” he said. “We are here to help. It’s in our blood, its what we do.” Reach Dan Balmer at daniel.balmer@peninsulaclarion. com.

Obituary Lavern Alan ‘Vern’ Miller Lavern Alan “Vern” Miller, 56, of Nikiski passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014 in New York, after a tour in Israel with family and friends. Vern was born on Nov. 21, 1957 to Ronald and Yvonne Miller in Fostoria, Ohio. He grew up in Alvada and Findlay, then attended the University of Toledo, where he got his degrees in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. He then enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he received an additional degree in Nuclear Engineering, and went on to be an officer on two nuclear class submarines. He married Candie Fitzgerald on March 20, 1982 and they made their homes in Ohio, Connecticut, South Carolina, California, Washington and Alaska, where they had three children. He and his family lived in Wyoming and New Mexico briefly before making their permanent home in Alaska again. There he worked for the Tesoro Refinery as an engineer for over 20 years. Vern was an avid runner and competed in several marathons throughout his life, including the Boston and Portland marathons. He had a hobby of planting exotic trees in his yard, and couldn’t help himself when it came to getting a new species — even when he knew it was unlikely to survive in our climate. He frequently ran and hiked with his children. He loved doing absolutely anything with his grandchildren. Vern was also a member of the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra, Dixie Land Band, and Trinity Christian Center, where he played the oboe, clarinet, saxophones, and English horn. He shared his passion for musical instruments with students at Cook Inlet Academy, as well as South Africa, Kenya, Haiti and Israel, where he taught music and provided instruments to orphanages through the nonprofit “Instruments of Change.” Vern was described as kind, loving, gentle and patient by his family, friends and colleagues, and was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. He is remembered as a great musician with a passion for the Lord, who loved to wear purple. He was preceded in death by his grandmother who helped raise him, Ethel Miller, his father, and his sister Laura Miller. He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Candie Miller; his daughters, Jennifer (Brian) Hack and Sharon (Victor) Michnowicz; his

Harbor safety proposal needs clearer goals This past week, the Clarion reported

on a recommendation from the Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council to establish a Cook Inlet Harbor Safety Committee. With the potential for increased shipping traffic in the inlet, it’s a proposal worth serious consideration — but it also raises some questions that need answers before moving forward. The harbor safety committee recommendation comes with the advisory council’s risk assessment report, which identifies a number of options to help mitigate the risks associated with Cook Inlet marine transportation, especially as it pertains to oil and gas. According to the advisory council, a harbor safety committee would serve “as a path forward to reduce the risks of marine accidents in Cook Inlet.” During a Wednesday presentation in Kenai, Coast Guard Lt. Eugene Chung emphasized that a harbor safety committee would not be another regulatory body, the Clarion reported. “It’s industry players, as well as the public, getting together with state and federal agencies, to come up with non-regulatory solutions,” Chung said. Safety committee members would include a wide range of stakeholders, such as vessel owners, port authorities, various government agencies, and the general public. Issues with marine transportation in Cook Inlet could be addressed through the harbor safety committee, and recommendations made to increase safety. On the face of it, it’s a good idea. Cook Inlet already sees a great deal of vessel traffic from a wide range of users — private craft, charter and commercial fishing vessels, oil tankers and cargo ships — and with an LNG plant on the horizon, marine traffic is going to increase. Bringing everyone to the same table to keep the inlet safe and sound is a good idea. We do have some questions. At the Wednesday meeting, Sen. Peter Micciche asked what role a harbor safety committee would play that isn’t already being filled by a number of other agencies and organizations, including the advisory council. We’d like to see some greater clarity on how a harbor safety committee would be different, and what gaps it would cover. Are there organizations already in place that could be filling that role? We also want to know how recommendations made by a harbor safety committee will be received. Recommendations are different than regulations, and it would be up to industry to decide which recommendations are implemented. What happens if recommendations aren’t put into practice? Marine safety is crucial to the well-being of our region’s economy and environment. Cook Inlet is a challenging body to navigate, even on the best of days, and we’re supportive of any measure that enhances safety on the water. But we also want to make sure that any new agency or organization fills a need that is not being met, and has the support of the stakeholders it hopes to engage. We’d like to learn more about the proposed harbor safety committee’s role, so we can have those questions answered.

The Supreme Court has accepted a case challenging a provision of the law that prohibits people from receiving federal subsidies to buy insurance unless they live in states that run their own markets and offer coverage. Just 14 states and the District of Columbia handle their own enrollments, with the rest leaving it to consumers to access an exchange run by the federal government. The court will decide whether insurance subsidies can be granted in states that do not have their own markets. If the decision eliminates subsidies in those states, Obamacare could be gutted. That is, the people now receiving those federal subsidies outside the state exchanges likely would no longer be able to afford health care coverage — the basis of the Affordable Care Act. Although individual states could still provide subsidies, the overwhelming number of Republican governors and GOP-majority state legislatures are unlikely to do so. Republicans should save the clip of Jonathan Gruber and run it over and over again in the run-up to the 2016 election. This attitude that government is better at making decisions than you are because you are too stupid to know what is good for you is a hallmark of patronizing, arrogant and condescending liberalism.

Humans landing on a comet How totally cool is it that human beings were able to land a probe on a comet? I refer, of course, to the European Space Agency managing to set its Rosetta craft’s lander down, wobbling on the icy surface of the comet named 67P/ChuryumovGerasimenko as it zipped along on its infinite journey through the heavens. The Rosetta has clocked about 4 billion miles since its launch 10 years back to gather data on comets. I suppose we can call it the Rosetta stone lander now that it’s studying as close as one can get — on the ground. Not that it was easy, and the washing-machine-size craft didn’t exactly find the right spot on a very jagged two-and-ahalf-mile surface. After all, we’re talking about a body zipping through the solar system at 44,000 miles per hour. Besides, it’s a shame the lander didn’t have some passengers. There are any number of people we probably can agree would make us all better off were they to switch their address to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Certainly there are the politicians. Let’s not name names (mainly because there isn’t enough room), but we’d all benefit if we couldn’t really hear what they were saying. I remember that Newt Gingrich used to talk about lunar colonies. This could go him one better, although there is no reason we shouldn’t send him for a close-up look. There are so many pundits, columnists, radio and TV hosts as well as other strident commentators who should be on the manifest because they are manifestly obnoxious, and yes, there are a few people who think I should be included, but I didn’t want to be selfish. There are space cadets who should go first. And let’s not leave out those from the nonpolitical realm. Kim Kardashian, I’m talking about you. Look, I was willing to C

tolerate the fact that you were big-time famous for no earthly reason, but then you had to show us what it was about you that was supposed to be so special. For those who haven’t been keeping up, Kimmie Bob Franken released a picture of her rear end. Her very large rear end. You know, I like backsides as much as the next guy, but this was too much. Somehow I could have lived out my entire life without seeing that. Wouldn’t it be great if she could go where moons are appropriate? The owner of the Washington National Football League team should be on board, no maybe about it. Dan Snyder refuses to change the name of his squad from the slur against Native Americans, but perhaps the word wouldn’t be so offensive up there. So why not move the entire operation and games? How much colder could it be than Green Bay? Actually, calling them the Washington Comets wouldn’t be half-bad. Perhaps you’re wondering, seriously, why even bother with such a landing? Don’t we on Earth have meteor problems (sorry, I couldn’t resist)? The answer is as old as time itself: Embedded in the super-frozen rock might be evidence of everything that’s happened since the beginning of existence. How did this solar system form, for instance? It may detect some insights into the sun, as well as other stars. Even if the probe functions for just a short time, the potential is boundless. It’s certainly possible it could send back data on the molecular ancestors of the various organisms and elements that led to the formation of this

planet. The potential is there for us to learn more about how it is we came to be, which is more than a little mind-boggling. Maybe we also can get some insight into how certain things went so wrong, like those humans who should be on the passenger list for the next trip. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Alaska Ice crystals paint Fairbanks skies By JEFF RICHARDSON Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

FAIRBANKS (AP) — Walt Tape has been on the lookout for sundogs and light pillars for the past 40 years, and the novelty still hasn’t worn off. The phenomena are a common occurrence each winter in Interior Alaska, where the combination of atmospheric ice crystals and light can create a distinctive display. The first significant sundogs of the season appeared in early November, when rings of light could be seen on the horizon. “I think if you’ve seen any, they kind of speak for themselves,” said Tape, a retired University of Alaska Fairbanks

math professor who wrote two books about atmospheric arcs. Sundogs are somewhat akin to a cold-weather rainbow. In each case, sunlight passing through water creates a prism effect, creating visual light tricks. In the case of a rainbow, light passing through rain creates a multi-colored band of light. With a sundog or light pillar, halos and arcs are created by refractions from ice crystals. National Weather Service meteorologist Ben Bartos said winter clouds are usually composed of ice crystals in Interior Alaska. When they align properly with the sun — usually when it’s low on the horizon — it can create a sundog. Sundogs are usually seen in

cold-weather climates, since they require ice crystals to appear. But they’re occasionally seen even in the tropics, where ice in the high atmosphere can create light arcs. “They’re more common in the higher latitudes, just because the conditions are more conducive to them,” Bartos said. Tape has made five trips to Antarctica to witness ice arcs, but he said such extraordinary measures aren’t necessary. Snow-making equipment at commercial ski slopes creates spectacular streams of airborne powder, which often create prime viewing experiences for sundogs. “They make crystals that, in some cases, are better than what God makes,” he said.

Tape said ice crystals with a hexagonal shape — like a cross-section of a wooden pencil — are best for creating the sundog effect. Light pillars cause a similar effect at night. They’re often seen as spires of light shooting skyward from street lamps, and are caused by plate-shaped crystals falling horizontally and acting like small mirrors. Tape said the effect caused by light pillars is worth seeing. Get up close and black out the light source with your hand, and spacial halos and a shifting light display will stand out. “It’s the closest thing you’ll get to a psychedelic experience without the real thing,” Tape said.

Around Alaska State delays ferry policy restricting kids’ travel ANCHORAGE — The Alaska state ferry system is delaying implementation of a new policy that would require child passengers to be accompanied by authorized adults. State transportation department officials say numerous people contacted the agency about difficulties the policy would create for families who have already scheduled travel, particularly for the holidays. The policy was scheduled to take effect Nov. 20. It would have required passengers under 18 to be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or an adult with notarized authorization from the child’s caretakers.

Legislator wants to clarify pot rules ANCHORAGE — Legislators still have months to prefile legislation, but one Anchorage representative says he hopes to start a conversation about drafting marijuana regulations early, after Alaskans voted last week to legalize recreational marijuana. Rep. Bob Lynn, R-Anchorage, said he plans to introduce legislation in January dealing with several elements of marijuana regulations and safety. Lynn’s bill, currently in draft form, addresses three key marijuana sales issues: Restricting marijuana establishments to a certain distance from schools, churches, recreation and youth centers or public parks; limiting advertising; and barring individuals convicted of a felony from working in or owning a marijuana establishment. Lynn’s office began looking at drafting legislation days before the election in the event the measure passed. Lynn personally opposed Ballot Measure 2, the initiative legalizing recreational marijuana in Alaska, but said the people have spoken and now it’s time to move forward. — The Associated Press

Virginia Coal exec faces charges JONATHAN MATTISE Associated Press

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Facing criminal charges in the deadliest U.S. coal mine disaster in four decades, ex-coal baron Don Blankenship has fallen silent for the first time in a while. A gag order issued shortly after the 43-page indictment this week means Blankenship will have to hit pause on the defiant public relations campaign he’s waged since the 2010 explosion that killed 29 men at the Upper Big Branch Mine in Montcoal, West Virginia. The former Massey Energy CEO has vehemently denied all wrongdoing in the disaster. More than that, he’s spent his time attempting to remake his image from that of a profitminded, mustachioed villain to a crusader for keeping miners safe. Even while under federal investigation, Appalachia’s long-established coal boss kept spreading his side of the story: I’m being targeted. It wasn’t

my fault. “Rather than be honest after the explosion and attribute the explosion to the obvious causes the politicians and (the Mine Safety and Health Administration) launched a witch hunt,” Blankenship wrote on his website earlier this year. Blankenship has blogged, tweeted, shot his own documentaries and taken TV interviews, even with outlets he considers biased. All of those communications dropped after his indictment Thursday, which accuses him of deliberately skirting safety laws, impeding federal enforcement officials and lying to the Securities Exchange Commission about safety practices, all to maximize profits. He could spend up to 31 years in prison. An attorney’s statement was all that followed from Blankenship, and it struck a familiar chord. “Don Blankenship has been a tireless advocate for mine safety,” attorney William W. Taylor III said. “His outspoken criticism of powerful bureaucrats has earned this indictment.

He will not yield to their effort to silence him. He will not be intimidated.” For families and friends of victims, still hearing Blankenship’s rationales has ranged from nauseating to infuriating.

This April, Blankenship released a documentary leading up to the fourth anniversary of Upper Big Branch. It dismissed the four investigations that found worn and broken cutting equipment created a spark that ignited accumulations of coal dust and methane gas. Broken and clogged water sprayers then allowed what should have been a minor flare-up to become an inferno. Instead, it repeated an argument authorities have dismissed: natural gas in the mine, and not methane gas and excess coal dust, was at the root of the explosion. The documentary finishes with a photo collage of the deceased miners set to violin music. Some victims’ loved ones said they couldn’t bear it. “It’s pouring salt on an open wound,” Amber Herald, an Ohio resident whose friend Josh Napper died in the mine, said when the video came out. “Every day, (Blankenship) has a lie to tell. But to actually put it in a film and sit and lie, knowing what he’s done, I don’t know how he does it.”

At Clinton center, past and future collide KEN THOMAS Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Bill Clinton always said presidential campaigns must be about the future, but Hillary Rodham Clinton’s potential White House bid is bound to bring up the past. How the former secretary of state navigates her husband’s triumphs and travails during the 1990s could figure prominently in a possible 2016 race for the presidency. In a touch of legacy shaping, Bill Clinton and his onetime White House advisers highlighted his record during a 10th anniversary weekend celebration at his presidential center, pointing to an administration that presided over a high-octane economy and worked with Republicans on big problems such as welfare. “We did what we set out to do,” he said Friday in a speech at his center along the banks of the Arkansas River. The former first lady often presents her husband’s White House as a case study of what can be accomplished for Demo-

crats who are now dealing with midterm election losses and a weakened President Barack Obama. She frequently talks of untangling the gridlock in the nation’s capital and cites concerns that a rebounding economy has yet to benefit many families. On Saturday, she discussed one of her passion projects, increasing economic opportunities for women. “We have seen over and over again how important it is to open up economic opportunities for girls and women,” she said. With Republican teams researching Hillary Clinton’s past for vulnerabilities, the reminiscing about one Clinton White House and quiet speculation about another one offered examples of how the past could influence the future. The Miller Center at the University of Virginia released the first batch of oral histories of Bill Clinton’s presidency. The interviews provide an accounting of Clinton’s two terms, from his struggles to pass a health care overhaul to his successes in steering the economy and defending

against impeachment. “They’d say, ‘It’s our duty to screw him,’” said former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson, a Republican who described his party’s approach. “I’d tell them, ‘The country has to run; you came here as legislators, not as bomb throwers.’” Many of the interviews offered a look at Hillary Clinton’s White House role. Alan Blinder, a Princeton economist and former Clinton economic adviser, said she learned lasting lessons from her work on the health care task force. “I think she’s much more politically astute now than she was in early 1993,” Blinder said. Former White House chief of staff Leon Panetta said Clinton acted as a “chief of staff-inwaiting,” adding that “if she felt the chief of staff or whoever was not doing the job, she was prepared to protect the president.” The interviews also delve into Clinton’s impeachment and his controversial pardons. Mickey Kantor, who served

as U.S. trade representative, said the president’s decision to pardon fugitive financier Marc Rich bothered many, calling it “the single most inexplicable, devastating thing he did.” Panetta recalled his concerns about Monica Lewinsky hanging around during a government shutdown. “The president always had an eye for attractive women,” Panetta said. Bill Clinton’s testimony for the Paula Jones lawsuit, in which he denied a sexual relationship with Lewinsky, led to his impeachment in 1998 by the Republican-run House. He was acquitted by the Democraticcontrolled Senate. Yet many members of Clinton’s network noted that domestic matters such as the economy and dealing with gridlock are more likely to resonate. “Americans face some real problems but aren’t sure Washington can fix them,” said Bruce Reed, a former economic adviser, in an interview. “That’s the biggest hurdle to anybody who wants to do something with the presidency.”

Archbishop brings Francis-like message DON BABWIN Associated Press

CHICAGO — When Blase Cupich was named the next archbishop of Chicago, he insisted that Pope Francis was sending the area a mere pastor, not a message. Cupich has been sending very Francis-like messages, though, as he prepares to officially assume control of one of the country’s largest and most high-profile archdioceses on Tuesday. Among them was his decision to live in a simple rectory instead of the cardinal’s mansion. “I would say the message is that he (Pope Francis) chose someone very pastoral ... and it’s a very important one,” said Cristina Traina, a professor of religious studies at Northwestern University. “The pope was saying he was looking for someone who will connect with people ... whose emphasis is mercy, ministry, reaching out to the people and serving the poor.” She said it is not a coincidence that the pope appointed Cupich, the 65-year-old relatively unknown bishop of the much smaller Diocese in Spokane, Washington, to replace a conservative church heavyweight like the retiring Cardinal Francis George at around the time he was demoting another leading conservative, Cardinal Raymond Burke, from his position as head of the Vatican high court. Cupich’s appointment has been warmly received in neighborhood churches, where parishioners quietly complained

that George did not solicit their opinions and, particularly during the cardinal’s ongoing battle with cancer, did not visit the parishes nearly as much as they would have liked. People will be watching closely to see how Cupich reacts to various national and local issues. George last month closed nine more schools — another emotionally-charged decision he made before leaving — but Cupich will face the same low enrollment when he takes over. And there is the vexing problem of the shortage of priests. Chicago’s Hispanic community, for example, while encouraged about what he’s said about a need for immigration reform, are waiting to see if he continues to speak out publicly on the matter, as he’s promised. The thorniest issue facing the archdiocese is the sexual abuse scandal. George recently released thousands of internal documents showing how the archdiocese hid the sexual abuse of children by priests for decades. But critics say the heavily redacted files raise questions about whether church officials are still trying to hide some abuse, and the called on the church to release the files pertaining to one of the most egregious cases, that of former priest Daniel McCormack. McCormack pleaded guilty in 2007 to abusing five children. While the archdiocese said it couldn’t release the documents because of pending litigation, victims’ advocates say Cupich could send a powerful message if he found a way to release them.

Surgeon with Ebola arrives in U.S. Health enrollment By MARGERY BECK Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — A surgeon who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone arrived in Nebraska Saturday for treatment at a biocontainment unit where two other people with the disease have been successfully treated. Dr. Martin Salia, who was diagnosed with Ebola on Monday, landed at Eppley Airfield in Omaha on Saturday afternoon and was taken by ambulance to the Nebraska Medical Center. The hospital said the medical crew that accompanied Salia, 44, from West Africa determined he was stable enough to fly, but that the team caring for him in Sierra Leone indicated he was critically ill and “possibly sicker than the first patients successfully treated in the United States.” The disease has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leona. Of the 10 people treated for the disease in the U.S., all but one has recovered. Salia’s 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

Health workers in protective suits transport Dr. Martin Salia, a surgeon working in Sierra Leone who had been diagnosed with Ebola, from a jet that brought him from Sierra Leone to a waiting ambulance that will take him to the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Neb., Saturday.

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 evacua-

tion. 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. The two prayed together, and their children, ages 12 and 20, are coping, Isatu Salia said, calling her husband “my everything.” Nebraska Medical Center spokesman Taylor Wilson said members of Salia’s family were not at the hospital Saturday, but were expected to arrive “in the near future.” Sierra Leone is one of the three West Africa nations hit hard by an Ebola epidemic this year. Five other doctors in Sierra Leone have contracted Ebola, and all have died. Gresko reported from New Carrollton, Maryland. Associated Press writers Clarence Roy-Macauley in Freetown, Sierra Leone; Mike Stobbe in New York; and Matthew Barakat in McLean, Virginia, contributed to this report.

Cities brace for Ferguson decision protests By PHILIP MARCELO Associated Press

BOSTON — From Boston to Los Angeles, police departments are bracing for large demonstrations when a grand jury decides whether to indict a white police officer who killed an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri. The St. Louis County grand jury, which has been meeting since Aug. 20, is expected to decide this month whether Officer Darren Wilson is charged with a crime for killing 18-year-old Michael Brown after ordering him and a friend to stop walking in the street on Aug. 9. The shooting has led to tension with police and a string of unruly protests there and

brought worldwide attention to the formerly obscure St. Louis suburb, where more than half the population is black but few police officers are. For some cities, a decision in the racially charged case will, inevitably, reignite long-simmering debates over local police relations with minority communities. “It’s definitely on our radar,” said Lt. Michael McCarthy, police spokesman in Boston, where police leaders met privately Wednesday to discuss preparations. “Common sense tells you the timeline is getting close. We’re just trying to prepare in case something does step off, so we are ready to go with it.” In Los Angeles, rocked by riots in 1992 after the acquittal of police officers in the video-

taped beating of Rodney King, police officials say they’ve been in touch with their counterparts in Missouri, where Gov. Jay Nixon and St. Louis-area law enforcement held a news conference this week on their own preparations. “Naturally, we always pay attention,” said Cmdr. Andrew Smith, a police spokesman. “We saw what happened when there were protests over there and how oftentimes protests spill from one part of the country to another.” In Las Vegas, police joined pastors and other community leaders this week to call for restraint at a rally tentatively planned northwest of the casino strip when a decision comes. Activists in Ferguson met

Saturday to map out their protest plans. Meeting organizers encouraged group members to provide their names upon arrest as Darren Wilson or Michael Brown to make it more difficult for police to process them. In a neighboring town, Berkeley, officials this week passed out fliers urging residents to be prepared for unrest just as they would a major storm — with plenty of food, water and medicine in case they’re unable to leave home for several days. In Boston, a group called Black Lives Matter, which has chapters in other major cities, is organizing a rally in front of the police district office in the Roxbury neighborhood the day after an indictment decision.

push goes local By ANN SANNER Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The pitch for health care coverage is being made at nail salons, pizzerias, mosques and even bars. As the second enrollment period under President Barack Obama’s health care law begins, advocates are employing new tactics and expanding old ones to reach people who need insurance. Some groups are targeting populations they believe slipped through the cracks during the last enrollment period. “We’ve had great success at laundromats,” said Robin Stockton, the navigator program director for the Center for Family Services, a nonprofit based in Camden, New Jersey. The informal chat between wash-and-dry cycles can pique interest and lead some customers to call their hotline for more information, she said. “Typically,” she said, “the question you get back is: ‘Is this that Obamacare thing?’” Open enrollment started Saturday and runs until Feb. 15. The HealthCare.gov website, where people can sign up and search for coverage, appeared to be running smoothly Saturday. Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell tweeted that the website opened shortly after 1 a.m., with more than 23,000 people submitting applications within the first eight hours. She said 1.2 million unique visitors looked at coverage using the site’s window-shopping tool in the last week. In Washington state, though, the health care exchange shut down after the first few hours of open enrollment as state officials and software engineers tried to resolve a problem with tax credit calculations. The Obama administration aims to have 9.1 million

paying customers enrolled in 2015. That’s well below the 13 million that the Congressional Budget Office had projected. In Philadelphia, Enroll America organizer Neil Rickett is armed with a list of 500 bars and restaurants as he makes his way through downtown, popping in and out of eateries. He approaches bartenders, wait staff and other service industry workers whose high turnover and odd hours often result in a lack of health coverage. He gets workers’ contact information and sometimes schedules appointments to meet with them. “By going to them, we’re upping our chance of getting the people we missed or didn’t get enrolled last time,” Rickett said. In New Jersey, Stockton’s nonprofit is among the community-based groups guiding people through the enrollment process. When they aren’t taking appointments, the 17 navigators take their enrollment message on the road. The helpers set up tables of brochures at festivals and malls. They make cold calls to pizza parlors, Chinese restaurants and other small businesses where they sometimes post information on bulletin boards. And with encrypted tablets and mobile offices, they have signed people up for coverage at churches, synagogues, mosques and a Buddhist temple. “We’re very flexible about the times that we can go out and make it convenient,” Stockton said. The organization’s contact information in a newspaper caught the attention of freelance writer Susan Van Dongen Grigsby, who has COBRA coverage through her husband’s former employer, though it expires next year. “I don’t want to find myself without any coverage a few months from now,” said Van Dongen Grigsby, 55, of Bordentown, New Jersey.

Comet lander does main tasks

Around the World Dutch police arrest protesters amid unrest over ‘Black Pete’ THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Police arrested 90 protesters Saturday as a traditional Dutch celebration of the arrival of Saint Nicholas was disturbed by demonstrators who say his faithful sidekick, “Black Pete,” is a racist caricature, and by supporters of the popular children’s figure. In some of the worst scenes of unrest in the increasingly acrimonious debate about Black Pete, opponents scuffled with police on the historic market place of the central city of Gouda as thousands of children welcomed Saint Nicholas nearby. Prosecution office spokesman Wouter Bos said 60 antiBlack Pete activists were arrested for demonstrating away from a location set aside for protesters and were each fined 220 euros ($275). Another 30, both supporters and opponents of Black Pete, were arrested for disturbing public order, Bos told The Associated Press. Video from Gouda showed scuffles breaking out in its historic downtown while children’s songs played in the background. Protesters were detained by police as children watched. “Deeply, deeply sad,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told broadcaster NOS. “Everybody can debate one another, we can endlessly discuss the color of Black Pete, but we should not disturb a children’s party in this way.”

US, Japan, Australia agree to deepen security ties BRISBANE, Australia — Eyeing Chinese aggression, President Barack Obama and the prime ministers of Japan and Australia committed Sunday to deepen their military cooperation and work together on strengthening maritime security in the Asia Pacific. The meeting, the first since 2007 among leaders of the three allies, risked antagonizing Beijing after a week when Obama reached a surprising level of consensus with Chinese President Xi Jinping on climate change and trade, and Japan and China took steps to improve their relationship. China has viewed Obama’s efforts to deepen alliances with other countries in the region, particularly on security issues, as an attempt to counter Beijing’s rise. In a joint statement following the meeting, the three leaders said they had agreed to “deepen the already strong security and defense cooperation” between their countries. They also agreed to work on boosting “maritime security capacity building” in a region rife with disputes between China and its neighbors over claims to waters and islands.

Venezuela cooks world’s largest Christmas hallaca CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelans may be struggling with shortages of basic food items, but Christmas treats were in abundant supply Saturday. With some help from the Ministry of Nutrition, some cooks set a record for making the world’s biggest hallaca — Venezuela’s version of the tamale that is traditionally eaten in December. Hundreds of spectators were on hand for the creation of the huge hallaca, which features pork, beef, chicken, olives and raisins folded into corn dough and wrapped in a banana leaf. The Guinness Book of World Records certified the nearly 400-foot-long creation as the world’s largest. — The Associated Press

BERLIN — The pioneering lander Philae completed its primary mission of exploring the comet’s surface and returned plenty of data before depleted batteries forced it to go silent, the European Space Agency said Saturday. “All of our instruments could be operated and now it’s time to see what we got,” ESA’s blog quoted lander manager Stephan Ulamec as saying. Since landing Wednesday on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko some 311 million miles (500 million kilometers) away, the lander has performed a series of scientific tests and sent reams of data, including photos, back to Earth. In addition, the lander was lifted on Friday by about 4 centimeters (1.5 inches) and rotated about 35 degrees in an effort to pull it out of a shadow so that solar panels could recharge the depleted batteries, ESA’s blog said. ESA spokesman Bernard von Weyhe on Saturday confirmed the lander’s difficult rotation operation. It’s still unclear whether it succeeded in putting the solar panels out of the shade. Even if the lander was rotated successfully and is able to recharge its batteries with sunlight, it may take weeks or months until it will send out new signals. Regular checks for signals will continue. The agency did not schedule any media briefings on Saturday. ESA’s mission control center in Darmstadt, Germany, received the last signals from Philae on Saturday morning at 0036 GMT (7:36 p.m. EST Friday). Before the signal died, the lander returned all of its housekeeping data as well as scientific data of its experiments on the surface — which means it completed the measures as planned, the ESA blog said. During a scheduled listening effort on Saturday at 1000GMT, ESA received no signals from Philae, ESA’s mission chief Paolo Ferri told The Associated Press. “We don’t know if the charge

will ever be high enough to operate the lander again,” Ferri had told The AP ahead of the 1000GMT (5 a.m. EST) listening time. “It is highly unlikely that we will establish any kind of communication any time soon.” Now it’s up to ESA’s team of scientists to evaluate the data and find out whether the experiments were successful — especially a complex operation Friday in which the lander was given commands to drill a 25-centimeter (10-inch) hole into the comet and pull out a sample for analysis. “We know that all the movements of the operation were performed and all the data was sent down” to ESA, Ferri said Saturday. “However, at this point we do not even know if it really succeeded and if it (the

drill) even touched the ground during the drilling operation.” Material beneath the surface of the comet has remained almost unchanged for 4.5 billion years, so the samples would be a cosmic time capsule that scientists are eager to study. The lander did already return images of the comet’s surface that show “it is covered by dust and debris ranging from millimeter to meter sizes,” while “panoramic images show layered walls of harder material,” ESA’s blog stated. The science teams are now studying their data to see if they have succeeded in sampling any of this material with Philae’s drill. Beyond analyzing the new data, scientists are also still trying to find the exact spot where

Philae landed on Wednesday. “The search for Philae’s final landing site continues, with high-resolution images from the orbiter being closely scrutinized,” the blog said. Scientists hope the $1.6 billion (1.3 billion-euro) project will help answer questions about the origins of the universe and life on Earth. One of the things scientists are most excited about is the possibility that the mission might help confirm that comets brought the building blocks of life — organic matter and water — to Earth. They already know that comets contain amino acids, a key component of cells. Finding the right kind of amino acids and water would be an important hint that life on Earth did come from space.

General to assess anti-IS campaign By HAMZA HENDAWI Associated Press

BAGHDAD — America’s top military leader arrived in Iraq on Saturday on a previously unannounced visit, his first since a U.S.-led coalition began launching airstrikes against the extremist Islamic State group. The visit by Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, came just two days after he told Congress that the United States would consider dispatching a modest number of American forces to fight with Iraqi troops against the extremist group. The Iraqi military and security forces, trained by the U.S. at the cost of billions of dollars, melted away in the face of the group’s stunning offensive this summer, when it captured most of northern and western Iraq, including the country’s secondlargest city Mosul. Dempsey said Thursday that Iraqi forces were doing a better job now, although an effort to move into Mosul or to restore the border with Syria would

require more complex operations. He also told the U.S. House Armed Services Committee that America has a modest force in Iraq now, and that “any expansion of that, I think, would be equally modest.” “I just don’t foresee a circumstance when it would be in

our interest to take this fight on ourselves with a large military contingent,” he said. Dempsey’s spokesman, Air Force Col. Ed Thomas, said the general planned to visit U.S. troops, commanders and Iraqi leaders. “The primary purpose of his visit is to get a firsthand look at the situation in Iraq, re-

ceive briefings, and get better sense of how the campaign is progressing.” The visit included talks in Baghdad with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and U.S. Ambassador Stuart E. Jones, Thomas said. Dempsey later flew to Irbil, capital of Iraq’s largely autonomous northern Kurdish region, where he met with Kurdish President Massoud Barzani. Dempsey also visited the U.S. joint operations center in Irbil, got a briefing on the Kurdish offensive against the Islamic State group and held a town hall with deployed troops there, Thomas said. The Pentagon has plans to establish an expeditionary advise and assist center in Irbil where U.S. troops will provide assistance to Iraqi forces at the brigade and higher levels. The U.S. also is planning to set up a training site near Irbil. According to plans laid out last week, the U.S. expects to train nine Iraqi security forces brigades and three Kurdish Peshmerga brigades.

Russian TV claims it has photo of downing of MH17 By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press

MOSCOW — Russian state television has released a satellite photograph that it claims shows that a Ukrainian fighter jet shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. But the U.S. government dismissed the report as preposterous and online commentators called the photo a fake. All 298 people aboard the Boeing 777 flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were

killed when it was shot down July 17 over a rebel-held area of Ukraine. Ukraine and the West have blamed the attack on Russia-backed rebels using a ground-to-air missile. The photo released Friday by Russia’s Channel One and Rossiya TV stations purportedly shows a Ukrainian fighter plane firing an air-to-air missile in the direction of the MH17. The channels said they got the photo from a Moscow-based organization, which had received it via email from man

who identified himself as an aviation expert. The U.S. State Department on Friday dismissed the Russian TV reports as yet another “preposterous” attempt by Moscow to “obfuscate the truth and ignore ultimate responsibility for the tragic downing of MH17.” It renewed a call to Moscow and Russia-backed separatists to “grant unfettered access for international investigators to the crash site.” Several bloggers said the photograph is a forgery, citing a

cloud pattern to prove the photo dates back to 2012, and several other details that seem incongruous. Some saw the photo as a propaganda effort intended to deflect criticism over the tragedy that Russian President Vladimir Putin faces as he attends the Group of 20 summit in Brisbane, Australia. Others noted that the commercial airliner in the photo appears to be of a different type, a Boeing 767.

G-20 leaders finalize growth plan details By KRISTEN GELINEAU Associated Press

BRISBANE, Australia — World leaders on Sunday prepared to release details of a plan aimed at injecting life into the world’s listless economy, with infrastructure investment and the lowering of trade barriers flagged as key components of the initiative. Leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies, wrapping up a two-day gathering in the Australian city of Brisbane, were hammering out the final components of a plan to boost global GDP by more than 2 percent above expected levels over the next five years, which amounts to around $2 trillion. “That is millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in extra production,” Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said in an address to the G-20 conference. “Yes, we want freer trade and we will deliver it. Yes, we need more infrastructure and we will build it.” G-20 nations, which represent 85 percent of the global economy, are under pressure to take definitive action at this year’s summit, rather than simply producing a set of vague, unmeasurable goals. The International Monetary Fund has warned about a “new mediocre” for the world economy, putting renewed focus on the G-20’s growth initiative. The final communique, to be issued later Sunday, will be based on individual plans submitted by each G-20 country, outlining how they will achieve their contribu-

tion toward the growth target. World GDP this year is about $77 trillioncool. Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey said the group’s strategies include 1,000 measures that will lift infrastructure investment, increase trade and competition, cut red tape and increase employment. “While we still face economic challenges in many parts of the world, I’m optimistic our 2 percent commitment will deliver the growth the world needs,” Hockey said. But rights groups such as The Civil Society 20 group, or C20, want assurances that the poor will benefit the most from the plans, estimating that the additional growth could lift 1 billion people out of poverty if it was poured into the poorest 20 percent of G-20 households. In between official talks, leaders have taken time to enjoy a bit of Aussie culture. A photo of a smiling Abbott and Russian President Vladimir Putin standing side-by-side while holding koalas was a rare lighthearted moment in an otherwise frosty atmosphere surrounding the Russian leader’s presence. Putin has come under fire from multiple leaders at the summit over the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The leaders also enjoyed an Aussie barbecue at the state Parliament House, feasting on king prawns, oysters, lamb and pavlova, a popular meringue dessert generally served with fruit and whipped cream.

Eagle River man charged with stabbing roommate ANCHORAGE — Bail has been set at $30,000 for a 41-year-old Eagle River man suspected of stabbing his roommate. Anchorage police say Hugh Jeffrey Perry is charged with felony assault and was wanted on a previous warrant. Police just after 7:30 p.m. Thursday took a report of a stabbing outside an Eagle River home. Officers found a man with multiple stab wounds and describe his injuries as “severe but non-life-threatening.” He was transported a hospital. Police were told the suspect drove off in a sport utility vehicle and was probably heading for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Alaska State Troopers at the request of police found Perry at a home in Palmer, arrested him and transported him to Anchorage, where he remained jailed Friday. Online court records did not list an attorney for Perry.

Teen in fatal crash sentenced to year in jail ANCHORAGE.— An Anchorage teenager who drove through a red light and caused a fatal crash has been sentenced to a year in jail and six months of community service. Murphy Madison Gross was 16 when his sport utility vehicle T-boned a smaller vehicle carrying four people, including Catherine Cope, 27, a mother of two. Cope died of injuries from the Feb. 6, 2013, crash. Gross, now 17, pleaded guilty in July to criminally negligent homicide and three misdemeanor assault charges as part of a plea agreement, the Alaska Dispatch News reported. After Gross was indicted, prosecutors said the teenager took his father’s new sport utility vehicle without permission, smoked marijuana with friends and drove without a license. A blood sample taken from Gross an hour after the accident tested positive for marijuana, but a judge ruled the test was conducted without probable cause and the evidence was suppressed. Prosecutors also said Gross was distracted by a text message. Investigators said he sent or received 14 texts and four phone calls in the half hour before the crash. The final text was received at 2:36 a.m., about a minute before the collision at busy A Street and Northern Lights Boulevard. Gross’ attorney denied he was texting, and assistant district attorney Daniel Shorey said during sentencing Thursday that it could not be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Cope was originally from Bethel. She had driven to pick up her husband, Ryan Cope, from his job at Guido’s Pizza. With Ryan Cope behind the wheel, they were giving a ride home to two co-workers. Defense attorney John Murtagh said the case was not about speeding or running a red light. Convenience-store surveillance video showed Gross “absolutely hit the brakes” before entering the roadway or the crosswalk, Murtagh said. Alaska law allows drivers to send and receive text messages if their vehicles are stopped, Murtagh said. — The Associated Press

Heavy lifting Kenai hosts 1st state championship By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

A small group of organizers and competitors have built the first Alaska High School Powerlifting Championships. Now that they’ve built it, they expect more to come. The Saturday championships at Kenai Central attracted 14 competitors — four boys and 10 girls. Twelve of the lifters were from Kenai Central, while one was from Soldotna and the other was from Bethel. But if anyone was disappointed by the turnout, they definitely weren’t showing it.

Kotzebue defends Peninsula Duals title Nikiski topples Soldotna for 3rd place at 15-team meet By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

With hundreds of wrestlers from 15 different teams across the state, the Peninsula Duals at Nikiski High School this weekend featured some of the top high school wrestling talent Alaska has to offer. The two-day tournament began Friday with each school completing two dual matches, which seeded each team accordingly for Saturday’s bracket-style championships. In a rematch of last year’s title bout, Kotzebue eked out its second straight tournament championship

with a narrow victory over Colony with a 36-35 dual win. The battle came down to the final match, as Kotzebue’s Stephen Hyatt won a 5-2 decision over Zachariah Doan of Colony. The host team Nikiski Bulldogs topped all Peninsula schools with a third-place finish, rounding out the night with a 47-30 triumph over Soldotna. The West Eagles grabbed fifth place with a 52-33 dual win over Dillingham, and Bethel took the seventh-place dual match with a 42-40 win over Kodiak. The Bulldogs were buoyed by performances from 220-pounder Luke

Johnson (went 6-0 on the weekend), Austin Ozbun (6-0), Jon McCormick (5-0), Dylan Broussard (4-0), Nathan Carstens (5-1), Tyler Olsen (5-1) and TJ Cox (4-1). “Some of our guys wrestled great, they were outstanding,” said Nikiski coach Adam Anders. “Our younger guys in particular really stepped up and did a great job.” Anders added that the entire tournament would not have been possible without the support from the various parents, volunteers and coaches. Nikiski started Friday with two dual wins, beating Soldotna 45-33 then demolishing Dimond 70-12.

On Saturday, Nikiski defeated Kenai 50-30, then moved on to beat Houston 50-31 before losing to eventual champs Kotzebue 48-35 in the semifinal round.

Ostrander finds snow Kenai runner nabs 2nd at Regionals Staff report

After capturing her third straight Alaska state cross-country running championship in early October under picturesque conditions, Kenai Central senior Allie Ostrander had to face adverse weather conditions Saturday in Boise, Idaho. Ironically, runners at the 2014 Nike Cross Northwest Regional Championship meet had to plod through 6 inches of snow that had appeared on the five-kilometer Eagle Island course. “It was brutal,” described Teri Ostrander, Allie’s mother, who made the trip along with Allie’s father, Paul. “We got up early to check it out, and it was like running in sand.” Due to the snowy conditions, times were sluggish across the board, but See RUN, page B-4

Brown Bears sweep Magicians By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

With everybody else in the North American Hockey League at least two games over .500, the Kenai River Brown Bears notched a sweep of the Minnesota Magicians on Friday and Saturday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex to keep pace in the standings. The Bears, who notched their first sweep of the season, improve to 10-11-0, good for 20 points but also last in the division. Coulee Region (Wisconsin) is in fourth with 21 points, while the Magicians, now 1-3 against the Bears, fall to 11-10-0 and 22 points. Saturday, the Bears capped a weekend of great special teams play by scoring on the power play with 1 minute, 14 seconds, to play in a 3-2 victory in front of 694. Maurin Bouvet slid the puck to Tyler Andrews for a shot from the point, and Jack Gessert tapped home the rebound. Bouvet finished with two assists and a goal on the night, while Gessert had a goal and an assist.

“Their chemistry is very good right now — it’s scary,” Beuaparlant said of Bouvet and Gessert. “They have a good sense of where the other one is on the ice.” The coach added that Alex Jackstadt was added to their line and complemented the two very well. The Magicians came into the series with the top power play in the league, but finished 0 for 7 over two games, while the Bears were 4 for 9. “I think our guys prepared very well on special teams this week,” Kenai River coach Geoff Beauparlant said. “It’s good to see the guys believing they are a good hockey club and seeing their work in practice pay off.” Beauparlant said it took the squad’s most consistent hockey of the season to pull off the sweep, and said the great special teams play was a total team effort, with Austin Chavez leading the way by playing both forward and defense. “We stuck with our game plan through 120 minutes no matter the results,” he said. “We left everything out on the ice.” Photo by Kelly Sullivan/ Peninsula Clarion Andrews started the scoring in the first period Kenai Brown Bears’ Matt Rudin shields Minnesota Magicians’ Brady Heppner from the puck See BEARS, page B-4 Friday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex in Soldotna.

kept up with the Grizzlies for the first two games, but let them get away after that, Segura said. This time, Segura said the team played strong throughout the whole match and had a better attitude throughout. Senior Rachel Thompson said the team tried to match Grace throughout the games. “Our goal was always to play point for point,” she said. The team accomplished that goal, staying within a few points of Grace for most of the morning, and rallying for five points in a row in an attempt to stop Grace from winning its final game. During the first set, Nikiski

of whether we could turn it around,” Segura said. “I knew we could do it. “It was a matter of whether we were going to get excited about winning every single point and make sure we weren’t making mistakes.” Senior Laura Hufford got player of the match, collecting 17 digs. Fellow senior Rachel Thompson had six kills, 29 assists and 17 digs.

stayed just behind Grace, pulling ahead to 26-25 before losing 28-26. During the second set, the team started ahead of Grace and maintained that position most of the set to win. Grace pulled further ahead during the third set, but when they tried to repeat that in the fourth, Nikiski kept the Grizzlies closer. Thompson had 22 assists, three aces and eight digs. Fellow senior Laura Hufford had 30 digs. Sophomore Brianna Vollertsen had eight kills and five aces. Junior Lauren O’Brien had seven kills. Junior Zykiah Cooney had 10 digs. Sophomore Ayla Pitt had 10 kills and five blocks. Freshman Melanie Sexton had three blocks. Thompson said it felt “very good” to end the season at state, despite the loss. She and fellow senior Laura Hufford said it was a roller-coaster season, but

the team was close. “It was up and down a lot,” Hufford said, noting that her favorite part was when the team played hard at the conference championship and came together. The team will lose two strong players in its seniors, but much of the team could return next year, Segura said, including the four current juniors. Early in the season, it was unclear if some of the team would play again after the season ended. “I think the fact that they got a taste of the state championship tournament ... they’ll be back,” Segura said. Nikiski won the 3A sportsmanship award, while Homer took the academic award with a 3.84 grade-point average, with 10 of 12 girls having a 4.0.

Also for Nikiski, Brianna Vollertson had four aces, seven kills and 10 digs; Brittany Perry had four aces; Ayla Pitt had nine kills and three blocks; Lauren O’Brien had seven kills; Verity Seltman had a block; and Zykiah Cooney had 10 digs. “It was such a blur,” Segura said. “It was so stressful for me. But it was nice to send our region champions home.” Against Barrow, Nikiski fell into a 7-0 hole in the first game and was able to recover from there, although not enough to win that first game.

“I think we just kind of overlooked Barrow that first game,” Segura said. “We saw them during the Shayna Pritchard tournament and we knew we competed well with them.” Thompson was player of the match with 32 assists and 15 digs. Also for the Bulldogs, Vollertson had five aces and five kills; Cooney had two aces and 10 digs; Pitt had 11 kills and two blocks; Melanie Sexton had seven kills; O’Brien had five kills; Vollertson had five kills; and Hufford had 16 digs.

Kenai hockey swept on road trip The Kenai Central hockey team lost 9-0 to West on Friday and 4-0 to Dimond on Saturday in a road trip to Anchorage. “This was the first time a lot of these players experienced a varsity game against a big school such as Dimond or West,” Kenai coach Michael Tilly said after his squad fell to 0-5. “They learned a lot this weekend. “They performed as well as they could and everyone kind of rose to the occasion.” The biggest weekend came from Kenai netminder Nate O’Lena. Tilly said O’Lena saw about 75 shots on Friday. Saturday, he made 58 saves. “I’ve known Nate since he was 5 years old,” Tilly said. “He just raises his game in big games. He lives for games like this.” Tilly added the Kards closed the weekend on a stronger note against Dimond. He said two of the goals came on basic defensive miscues that just showed a lack of experience. “Even though it was 4-0, it could have been 2-0,” he said. “I think our team showed a lot of character getting that close to one — Staff report of the best teams in the state.”

said the meet was a huge step forward for the sport in Alaska. “I was not able to get anyone to come down from Anchorage, but just having this meet opened the door for me to get into the office of a PE teacher or football coach of almost all the Anchorage schools,” Schmidt said. Schmidt said that now, instead of telling teachers and coaches he’d like to have a state high school meet, he can point to one that has already taken place. For that, Schmidt credits Jeff Baker, the PE instructor at Kenai Central who brought a powerlifting focus to the school six years ago. “He was my entry point into the high schools,” Schmidt said of Baker. Both Schmidt and Baker think the sport will grow because everybody at-

tending Saturday’s meet had a good time. The enthusiasm and camaraderie was so contagious that Megan Kissee, who was just planning to watch the meet, came out of the crowd and decided to compete. The crowd wasn’t huge, but it was supportive of all lifters. “It’s a feature of the sport in Alaska,” Schmidt said. “It’s very supportive. Yelling, hooting and hollering is encouraged.” The crowd assisted in several big lifts during the day, including a meetclosing 474-pound deadlift by Kenai Central junior Tobias Randall. Randall had a rocky start to his day. He needed to gain 6 pounds to get into his desired weight class, and made himself ill drinking water to gain weight. But then he set a personal record with a 451-pound deadlift, and decided to go for 474. “I just wanted to sell out and give it everything I had,” he said.

Randall said he appreciated what Baker has done for powerlifting. “It’s a great way to be active and getting in shape,” Randall said. “And the competition was really fun.” Two of Baker’s big discoveries are Kenai Central junior Cipriana Castellano and Soldotna sophomore Robin Johnson. Castellano, who set an all-ages state record in her weight class with a 352-pound squat, had the highest Wilks total for the girls, while Johnson was second and Sophie Swope of Barrow was third. The Wilks total allows powerlifters to be compared despite different weights. The top three boys in Wilks totals were Chase Logan, Jace Baker and Randall. Johnson, who set a new personal record with 319.5 pounds in the back squat, also said she sees powerlifting getting more popular. “All over the country, and even the world, there’s a lot more support for

being fit,” she said. “And it’s not just about being skinny. There’s a lot more people wanting to be strong.” That includes Natalia Chavez in the 104-pound weight class and Kelsey Booth at 114. Schmidt said nobody in Alaska had competed at those weight classes before, meaning Chavez’s 138 squat, 83 bench and 165 deadlift and Booth’s 165 squat, 83 bench and 193 deadlift were all open and age class state records. “It was nice to finally get those weight classes filled out,” Schmidt said. Johnson said she tried to get some people from SoHi to enter, but came up short. However, she did say some from the school attended the competition, making it more likely they would compete in the future. Johnson also said she saw many from the central Peninsula CrossFit community in the crowd, pointing to a good turnout when Schmidt returns to the Peninsula in March for an all-ages competition.

Judging from his experience working with powerlifters, Baker also expects more at that March competition. He said many initially may shy away from competition due to worrying about how much they can lift, but that fades away once they start training for a competition. “Nobody cares how much they lift,” he said. “They just want to lift more than they did before. “If they train and put in the work, they’ll lift more in the next competition than they did in the previous competition.” Alaska High School Powerlifting Championships

Ostrander managed a runnerup finish out of a field of 152 racers, in a time of 18 minutes, 59.5 seconds, almost four seconds behind race winner Ella Donaghu of Portland, Oregon. The result qualified Ostrander for the Nike Cross Nationals, scheduled for Dec. 6 in Portland. Ostrander said the course was supposed to be open to competitors Friday for previewing, but race organizers decided to close it after weather conditions worsened. Saturday, most runners broke

out the spikes for a exhausting 5K romp that was made more difficult due to the soft footing. The meet also wasn’t the first time that Ostrander competed against Donaghu either. The pair raced at the George Fox Invitational in Brooks, Oregon, in 2013, when Ostrander led Donaghu in a 1-2 finish. Lindsey Bradley of Richland, Washington, finished third, just 1.3 seconds behind Ostrander. In the boys race, reigning state champion Levi Thomet of Kodiak also nabbed a second-place finish, with a time of 16:21.4, almost 27 seconds behind race winner Tanner Anderson of Spokane, Washington.

with a power-play goal, assisted by Ben Campbell and Bouvet, but Brady Happner would answer for the Magicians before the period was up. In the second period, Kane Durment put the Magicians up 2-1, but that was after the Bears killed off a five-minute major and a 5-on-3. Beauparlant said killing those penalties was a huge point in the game. Bouvet, assisted by Gessert and Andrews, drew the Bears level heading into the final period. Alec Derks made 23 saves for the Bears, while Cole Weaver had 29 for the Magicians. “We talked about inconsistent goaltending last weekend, but he was consistent both games this weekend,” Beauparlant said. “He had a couple of huge saves in the third period when it was 2-2.” Friday, the Bears used a strong finish to propel themselves to a 4-2 win in front of 901 fans. Kenai River defenseman Chavez mailed home the game-winner early in the third period. “It’s preparation,” Beauparlant said. “We’ve talked to our guys about being ready and executing right from the get-go and not resting on what we accomplished tonight. “It’s a step in the right direction.” Friday against Minnesota, the Brown Bears went 2 for 4 on the power play. The Bears also displayed an impressive penalty kill, not only stopping all three Minnesota opportunities in the game but holding the Magicians to only three shots on goal in the third period with two power plays. The Magicians had the top power play in the league coming into the contest. “Special teams are important,” Beauparlant said. “It can swing a game either way. ... We were solid in both aspects tonight and will need to be again tomorrow.” The win is the third time

out of seven this season that Kenai River has started a weekend series with a win. None resulted in sweeps until Saturday. Kenai River defenseman Campbell notched his first goal of the season in the first period, then added a second in the third with an emptynetter, and forward Gessert had a pair of assists. “It’s important to win Friday night, it gives us a chance to sweep,” Campbell said. “You can’t sweep Saturday unless you win Friday.” Campbell, a native Minnesotan himself, said he believes the efficiency of the team has improved since the last series — a sweep at the hands of Fairbanks. “It felt good to rebound right away when we got on the power play,” Campbell said. “We’ve been working on it quite a bit, and it’s finally starting to click.” Things did not look rosy for the Bears in the early minutes. Minnesota netted the first goal a mere 28 seconds into the game, as Lukas Laub found some space near the right circle and scored easily on Derks, who ultimately saved 21 of 23 shots on the night. “It’s never good when they score early, but you gotta stay up on the bench,” Campbell said. “It’s got to be all positivity coming from the team. No negativity, can’t get down on guys, and you just gotta worry about getting back into it.” Just past the halfway mark of the first period, however, the Bears responded while on the power play. Thirty seconds after a slashing penalty, the puck bounced out of a frantic shuffle in front of the Minnesota goal and right at the stick of Campbell, who scored the equalizer. Just 48 ticks later, Bouvet put the Bears ahead with a slick shot on an odd-man rush. After Thomas Delaney responded with a goal 50 seconds after that to tie the game at two goals apiece, that was how it stayed for the next 33:29 of the game. One of the biggest moments came early in the third period, when the Magicians were handed a five-minute

penalty after Minnesota forward Kelly O’Brien was ejected for head contact. It took just over two minutes for the Bears to score the go-ahead goal. Chavez corralled the puck and shot from the left circle to put the Bears ahead. After a five-minute penalty by Kenai River allowed Fairbanks to score twice in the final period of play last Saturday, Beauparlant said it felt like a bit of retribution. “Whenever you go on the power play, you want to score and create chances,” Beauparlant said. “Last week, a five-minute major (penalty) came back to bite us, and this week it helped us.” The Bears had to stave off one final penalty in the final two minutes of the game while trying to preserve the one-goal lead, but only 60 seconds went by before Campbell managed to get his stick on the puck and send it toward the empty net of Minnesota for the insurance goal. Even with two penaltykill situations, Kenai River outshot Minnesota 17-3 in the period. “We’ve been in that situation two or three times with the lead, so we’ve had a solid penalty kill all year,” Beauparlant said. “I thought our guys did a nice job of giving a second effort to make the plays happen.” Campbell added, “Our goal is to be over 100 percent on our special teams combined. It’s good to see success on both ends of the C

ice.” The Bears host the Wenatchee (Washington) Wild on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Saturday Brown Bears 3, Magicians 2 Kenai River Minnesota

Werdum stops Hunt for title CARLOS RODRÍGUEZ Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Fabricio Werdum won the interim heavyweight title when he stopped Mark Hunt in the second round on Saturday night at UFC 180. Werdum (19-5-1) got off to a slow start, but hit Hunt with a right knee to the face to secure the win in the UFC’s debut in Mexico. It was the fifth consecutive victory for the Brazilian fighter. “I respect Mark Hunt, he hit me hard, but I stayed here a long time in Mexico to win this title, this one is for my family and all of Brazil,” Werdum said. The event was supposed to be a showcase for Cain Velasquez, the Mexican-American champion who has a strong following in Mexico. Instead, the oft-injured Velasquez hurt his right knee and dropped out of his bout against

Werdum last month, sending the UFC scrambling for something to show the 21,000 fans who sold out the Arena Cuidad de Mexico in eight hours. Hunt (10-9-1), a 40-year-old Australian brawler with a history of thrilling fights, got the call from the UFC one month after he stopped Roy Nelson in Japan for his fifth win in seven fights, losing only to former UFC champion Junior Dos Santos in that stretch. But Hunt was unable to continue his positive stretch. “I didn’t see that one coming,” Hunt said of the knee that ended the fight. Velasquez was part of a soldout crowd at the raucous Arena Ciudad de Mexico. The Mexican fans, who had waited for years for the UFC to come to their country, sang the Cielito Lindo, a tradition for any big event, and chanted “oles.”

e said good-bye to an old friend last month. That’s “old” as in years on Earth but also “old” as in long time. We’ve known him for more than half our lives: 40-plus years, which equals all of our Alaska lives. In that time he had been a guide, a mentor, a pain in the neck and a thorn in the side, occasionally all at the same time, but above all he was there to offer help, condolence, lots of fun, and a rather skewed philosophy of life. Someone we could depend on to give us the other side of the story no matter what the story might be. We visited a lot, discussed the elections, reminisced, and watched the river roll by. He had been in the hospital in Anchorage for two months then decided it was time to come home, at least to the Peninsula. Medical necessity made it impossible for him to return to the homestead and his own bed and his own view but being close-by made it better. Because of the circumstances, it was necessary that he go to a nursing facility. Family members spent days on the phone and going around visiting nursing homes but no beds were available on the Peninsula or in Anchorage. However, he could have gone to Nome, or Washington State, and probably any number of places in the Western States. At one point, a local interviewer told them that the “perceived need” for more beds in the area has not been acknowledged by those who OK the certificates of need and until then, no more facilities can or will be built. This issue is also apparent on the Peninsula with a different face while a local day surgery facility tries to set up shop in supposed competition to the Central Peninsula Hospital. With our growing population, and especially with elders moving to or staying in the area for their “Golden Years” (quite recently a headline in the local paper stated that the Peninsula has the oldest demographic in the state), it would seem logical that the necessary needs and services be put in place to accommodate them. Things like that take time, as we all know, and should be started before the need becomes overwhelming and users have to leave the area (again) to get the services they need and/or want. Because our friend was a privatepay situation, he was finally able to find a place at Riverside Assisted Living in Soldotna. By amazing flexibility of mission on their part, and because some family members are health care professionals who could dedicate their time to nearly roundthe-clock care of their relative, he was able to become a resident there. One family member said, “The administrator at Riverside is a Saint. He has gone out of his way to find a way for Dad to be taken care of and to be comfortable.” Had our friend been dependent on the government for payment, or using Long Term Care insurance, this accommodation would not have been possible because of rules and regulations. Apparently, having an elder law attorney on speed dial might be a good idea as we approach the hurdles in the road to “growing old with dignity.” Certainly, knowing our aging options is a must in these times of fluctuating rules and “government knows best” oversight. So, while Soldotna was not “home” for him, it was close enough. Many friends visited; the “kids” bundled him up and drove him to the beach one day; he had access to his favorite foods and even a former local politician dropped by a couple of times to give him something to think about. The grandkids dropped in regularly to agitate a little, and above all, his wife of over 60 years was there at all hours to keep him thinking up things for her to “get done.” The North Road has lost a character, and we and lots of others have lost a good friend. He’ll be missed by his commercial fishing cohorts next season, but somewhere, coffee cup in hand, he’ll be offering a cantankerous view of the world, and hoping his opponent has an opposite one so they can argue. He’ll be in heaven!

Jazz up your holidays with the latest in lights By SARAH WOLFE Associated Press

Clark Griswold would be proud. Thanks to advances in lighting technology, suburban dads (and moms) across the country have a lot to choose from when it comes to creative ways to deck their halls for the holidays this year. Forget about white incandescent lights and animatronic reindeer. Think lasers. Think smartphones. And hundreds, if not millions, of color choices.

RGB lights Single light bulbs that hold three LEDs — red, green and blue — are the secret behind a new category of holiday lights that offer up to 16 million color combinations. Known as RGB lights, they can be dialed up or down in a variety of ways via a smartphone app. And because their color range is so varied, they can be kept up year-round and used for any number of holidays — Halloween, the Fourth of July, Easter, you name it. Lumenplay offers the most colors by far at more than 16 million. The exotic lighting system doesn’t come cheap ($79.99 for a starter pack) and is only available in 10-foot strands. But you can string as many as 500 lights together on one controller, which comes with the starter pack. GE also offers RGB lighting technology with its new iTwinkle light sets and pre-lit Christmas trees, while Texas-based decorating firm Christmas Décor is offering the lights as an option for holiday customers this year.

‘Smart’ Lights All the talk of RGB technology leads right into the next holiday lighting trend this year — “smart” lights or lighting systems controlled by your

smartphone. Both the Lumenplay and iTwinkle systems are operated via apps available for Apple and Android phones. With just a swipe of your screen, you can dim or brighten outdoor lights, set them to music, or choose new colors and patterns. With iTwinkle, you can even record a greeting to play, like “Happy Holidays” or “Merry Christmas,” spokeswoman Amanda Hayes says. Most of these apps have a range of up to 150 feet, meaning you can control the action from across the yard or while plopped on your couch watching “It’s A Wonderful Life” (or the Griswolds in “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”) for the 10th time. “No longer do you have to venture outside to plug in your lights,” says Dave Geraci with Ohio-based Technical Consumer Products. TCP recently unveiled a smart home lighting system known as Connected by TCP, which links to a home’s Wi-Fi or mobile network and is controlled via smartphone, computer or a special remote.

Projected Laser Lights Using small spotlights, this technology projects thousands of tiny pinpoints of red, green or red AND green lights onto your home or any other hard surface. California-based BlissLights offers them for $179 or $199 each, depending on whether the lights are in motion. To a passerby, “at first glance, they look like traditional holiday rope lights, but actually they float freely across the house’s exterior, plants and more to create a display that neighbors will think took hours to design and hang,” BlissLights spokeswoman Natalia Barclay says. There are no cords or wires involved with the laser lights, says Nick Burks of Atlanta-based Pinnacle Lighting Group.

In this photo provided by Lights.com, battery-powered lights have been around a while, but was mostly limited to smaller, incandescent light strands you’d put in your window box or a small porch display. Now they come in LED strands up to 30 feet long with batteries that are much more powerful and longer-lasting. Up to six strands of these lights from Lights.com can be connected for a total of 600 LEDs on one battery pack.

“For people who live in the northern part of the country, it’s extremely helpful when you have to take them down and it’s zero degrees outside,” he says. “Instead of taking a string of lights down in January, just unplug the fixture and put it in a box and you’re done.”

Many feature auto-timers and buttons that control blinking and other patterns. At online retailer Lights.com, you can connect up to six strands of battery-powered lights for a total of 600 LED lights on one battery pack, spokeswoman Aimee Majoros says. You know what that means? 180 feet of energy-saving holiday sparkle.

I should have thought of that

nventions are all around us The other night on television someone suggested that pizza delivery vehicles should carry extra pizzas so that if you’re caught without an idea for supper, you could wave the car down, as you would hail a taxi, and purchase a pie on the spot. What a great concept. It might actually be something that someone will come up with someday. It’s one of those ideas we hear about and say, “You know, I should have thought of that myself. I could be rich now.”... Also last week, I saw a news report about a new house door lock someone has brought to the market. It lets you unlock your door as you drive up to your house, just by activating a smartphone app. Then, as you haul unruly children or unruly bags of groceries to your door, you don’t have to fumble with

the keys. What a great idea, I thought. I should have thought of that myself. I could be rich now. Well, actually, I did think of it first. My idea a few years ago was for us to install locks on our doors that operate like car door locks. As we near the door, we click a key chain fob that unlocks the door. Beep beep! In fact, I thought I wrote a column about that and other ideas for inventions, but now that I need it for patent protection, I can’t find it anywhere in our company’s computer archives. Hacking by some patent stealer? Maybe. Or maybe I just thought of writing it and never committed it to print. It was in that same, perhaps imaginary, column that I suggested other inventions that are just ripe for the picking if you only have the initiative. One, I recall, was meat- and

vegetable-flavored chewing gum. As I write this, I am chewing a stick of pumpkin spice gum, and you can find all sorts of other desserts and fruits on the gum aisle. Why not pork chop, then? Or carrot? Glynn Moore I would certainly buy them, and all the while I would be thinking, what a great idea. I wish I had thought of it. I could be rich now. You can’t turn on a television or computer without seeing the latest plans to use tiny drones to re-create the future before it’s even arrived: to photograph weddings and real estate, to cover sporting events up close, to infiltrate the enemy ranks and drop bombs. The government should have realized

I think you should MYOB. DEAR ABBY: I was invited to an event and sent back an RSVP. Two days before the event, I caught a cold. Because I had already accepted, I decided to go. When I ar- Abigail Van Buren rived, I saw several people I knew. Each of them tried to hug me, but I told them I had a cold and thought it best not to get too close. All but one recoiled and turned away from me. I sat at a separate table so as not to infect anyone. Although I thought I had done the right thing, I felt like I was being treated like a leper. Should I have stayed home, mentioned my cold or just behaved like “business as usual”? — “TYPHOID TINA” IN FLORIDA DEAR “TYPHOID TINA”: When you realized that you had come down with a cold and might be contagious, you should have immediately contacted your host, declined the invitation and explained that you didn’t want to risk spreading it. That’s the considerate way to handle it, and it would have been appreciated. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Underwear preference becomes a wedge issue in relationship DEAR ABBY: I’m a 50-year-old man in a relationship with a woman who is 42. She says I need to trade in my briefs for boxer shorts because they are outdated and “nobody wears those” anymore. She also told me only 9-year-old boys wear tighty whities and they are a turn-off. I have always worn fly-front briefs. I don’t like boxers because I find them uncomfortable. What can I do to fix this problem? She will not look at it from my perspective. — LIKES IT BRIEF IN FLORIDA DEAR LIKES IT BRIEF: Really? If you allow this woman to dictate what kind of underwear you wear now, she’ll be wearing the pants during your entire relationship if you stay with her. Tell her once and for all that if wearing boxers is so important to her, she should buy herself a pair. DEAR ABBY: I think my sister “Gladys” is a lesbian. And I don’t know how to approach her to ask. I think she’s a lesbian because at 44 she has never been married. She hasn’t even had a boyfriend since 1998. She still lives with our parents and acts like she’s daddy’s little girl. She does everything with Dad, and Mom usually stays home. My sister is an RN and has only one friend from the hospital where she works. Of course, that friend is a woman. How can I ask my sister if she prefers women and why she is still alone at her age? — BIG BROTHER IN CALIFORNIA DEAR BIG BROTHER: I would caution you against doing that. If you and your sister were close and she was gay, she would have said something to you by now. Not all women meet the right man, and not all women these days WANT to be married. It does not mean they are lesbians. Your sister is gainfully employed, so the fact that she lives with your parents does not mean she’s financially exploiting them. That you would call her “daddy’s little girl” is pejorative and implies that you’re jealous of the relationship she has with your father, which is why

years ago that if it allowed people to operate these drones, then terrorists would get in on the act. But that’s one freedom they haven’t touched yet. Drones turned out to be the jet packs that, when I was young, were the next generation of personal liberty. Just strap it on our backs and fly like a bird. If they had been perfected, terrorists would be zipping around right now like bats. Instead, they now can do that vicariously through a drone, a remote-control unit and a monitor. Inventions can be misused, so I’m glad I didn’t think of that one, after all. I’m sure even pork chop gum would be bad for someone on a low-cholesterol diet.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Scorpio and a Moon in Virgo. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 16, 2014: This year you stay in touch with your feelings, even in routine situations. You will note that your zest for life emerges more often. Your views about various issues in your life will change accordingly. If you are single, look to summer 2015 onward for a momentous relationship to knock on your door. At first, there might be some disagreements to work through, but ultimately it will help bond the two of you closer together. If you are attached, you might be more committed to making a mutual long-term goal a reality. As a couple, you’ll also expand your circle of friends. VIRGO is fussy. 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 could surprise even yourself with some of the choices you make. You’ll have certain responsibilities that will require your attention. Unfortunately, you could become too involved with life’s demands. A call from a friend might pull you out of a funk. Tonight: Take a nap. This Week: Avoid contentious situations. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHHYour imagination could take you into some interesting situations. You might be unsure of yourself, but understand that taking a difficult leap will be very insightful for you. Tonight: Add some flirtation to the mix. This Week: Try not to personalize any comments or sarcasm. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might feel as if you can’t stray far from home — and even if you can, your thoughts keep returning to a family member. A partner will share some important information that could help explain why someone is being so demanding. Tonight: Dinner for two. This Week: Your ability to charm the socks off of others emerges. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH You’ll say what you feel and do what you want, at least for the most part. A controlling loved one is likely to be coerced into releasing the reins for a brief time. As a result, you finally might be able to see what drives this person. Tonight: Hang out at home. This Week: Pressure on the homefront could affect you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Conversations seem to surround family and what would be best to do. Your day-to-day life might be subject to change. On the other hand, you could take a risk and see what occurs. The idea of an adventure is likely to capture your imagination. Tonight: Very playful. This Week: You care about what you do and what you say. C

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your playfulness will emerge once you are with a loved one. Be more open to a friend who does the unexpected and could unnerve you. Allow the wild child within you to come out. Add to the quality of your domestic life with a purchase. Tonight: You decide. This Week: Be aware of the financial implications of a personal matter. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might feel as if someone close to you has a different agenda that won’t work well with yours. Understand that a discussion might be difficult. Instead of saying “no,” try out some of this person’s ideas, then decide. A partner could be most unpredictable. Tonight: Vanish. This Week: You know you are on a roll. Enjoy every moment! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Others continue to seek you out and want your company. Wherever you are, there will be a lot of people milling around. Whether you’re at a game or off with friends at a favorite haunt, conversations could be somewhat limited. Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner. This Week: A more relaxed attitude could make a big difference. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You appear to be unusually soft and caring. Slow down, and make some calls in the morning to people you don’t often speak with. You will enjoy catching up on their news. The unexpected could occur with a new friend. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. This Week: Zero in on what you want before Thursday. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your changeability could draw a strong reaction from a roommate or family member. You could be taken aback by the intensity of the situation. You might not have realized how much you are changing. Allow your imagination to enrich your daily life. Tonight: Entertain your mind. This Week: Pressure builds around work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be taken aback by a change of direction. Though people might find you to be unpredictable, you still like a certain amount of stability. Think about an important partnership that you depend on. Perhaps you would like to be more available. Tonight: Out late. This Week: Be willing to detach. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could be more in touch with your feelings than you might have been in the past. Others seem to drop a lot of food for thought on you when catching up on news. Do not make anything a big deal. Just relax with the moment. Tonight: Decide who and where. This Week: Others seem to be unusually assertive.

Geography Awareness Week

A World of Continents

Do you know your address? Each part of your address is a detail about where you live. In the box below, fill in your address. Notice that the top item, the house or apartment number, is the most detailed part of your address. Each line after that describes a bigger area.

Scientists tell us that about 240 million years ago, most of the land on Earth was part of a giant continent that we call Pangaea (pan-JEE-uh). (Pangaea means “all lands” in Greek.) About 200 million years ago, Pangaea began to break apart, thanks to tectonic forces. Europe, Asia and North America split away from Pangaea. Australia and Antarctica split off and moved south. The continents are still moving today. Every year, Europe and North America get about 1 inch farther away from each other.

House number: Street name or number: City: State: Country: Continent: Planet: Earth!

Of course, we don’t include the planet and continent where we live in our addresses. In fact, we usually don’t need to write the country.

Natural boundaries

Meet the Continents

Lines between countries and states are not actual lines; they are manmade divisions. But continents are land masses created naturally by sections of the Earth’s crust, called tectonic plates, moving around. This week, The Mini Page gets ready for Geography Awareness Week, Nov. 16-22, with an issue about our seven continents.

North America • Third-largest continent. • Includes the world’s largest island, Greenland. • Features mountain ranges, canyons, geysers and the world’s largest area of freshwater, the Great Lakes. • Climate varies more than any other continent. • Includes the United States, Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean islands. • Has areas of rich soil left during the most recent Ice Age about 18,000 years ago.

Pangaea

Connor Halliday

The easiest measure of success in football is a team’s record in wins and losses. But the final score of a game rarely tells the entire story. Late on Oct. 4, the Washington State Cougars fell to the California Bears 60-59 when the Cougars missed a short field goal in the closing seconds. While his team lost, however, Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday was breaking records. Connor completed 49 of 70 passes for an eye-popping 734 yards and six touchdowns. Those 734 yards shattered the nearly 24-year-old record for a major college program, which was set by Houston’s David Klingler, who threw for 716 yards on Dec. 2, 1990. Connor’s achievement adds to an already impressive list of school and conference records he’s made in 2 1/2 seasons, including high marks for attempts, completions, touchdowns in a season and career passing yards.

South America

Europe

Asia

• Fourth-largest continent. • Became attached to North America just 3 million years ago. • Home of the longest mountain range, the Andes. • More than 15,000 species of plants and animals live in the Amazon River basin. • Farmers grow wheat and coffee and raise cattle and sheep. • Includes 12 independent countries.

• Sixth-largest continent. • Includes more than 40 countries, most of which have access to the ocean. • Separated from Asia by the Ural Mountains. • Has more than twice as many people as South America. • Home to about 738 million people. • Has the smallest independent state, Vatican City, in Rome, Italy.

• The largest continent. • Sixty percent of the world’s population lives in Asia. • Includes more than 40 countries, including China and India. • Also includes many islands. • Plateaus in central Asia are not good for farming, so few people live there. • Includes more than 50 of the world’s highest mountain peaks.

Africa

Australia

Antarctica

• The smallest continent. • Also called Oceania. • Has a population of 31 million, most of whom live along the southern and eastern coasts. • Broke away from Antarctica more than 60 million years ago. • Home of the largest coral reef ecosystem, the Great Barrier Reef. • Unique animals such as the koala and Tasmanian devil live there.

• Known for being windy, dry and icy, Antarctica has no permanent population. • Temperatures can drop to -100 degrees Fahrenheit. • Almost completely covered with ice. • Different countries have stations there for scientific research. • Contains the geographic South Pole.

• The second-largest continent. • More than three times the size of the United States. • Home of the world’s largest hot desert, the Sahara, and the world’s longest river, the Nile. • Savannas, or flat, grassy plains, in the middle of Africa are home to lions, elephants, giraffes and other animals.

Continents

Food Around the World Where does your food come from? Do you live on a farm, where your family raises animals or crops? Do you have a backyard garden where you grow vegetables to eat? Or do you buy food at the grocery store? We may not think much about how far our food travels before we eat it. But food production is closely tied to climate, trade practices and cultures — and therefore also tied to geography. Let’s look at the continents and the foods they supply to the rest of the world.

Do you notice a missing continent here? There is no food grown in Antarctica.

3. Sugar cane

Look through your newspaper for articles about food production in other parts of the world.

North America

Answers: North America, 2; South America, 3; Europe, none; Asia, 1 and 4; Africa, 5; Australia, none. Europe produces a lot of wheat and potatoes, but not the most. Australia produces a lot of wheat and sugar cane, along with many fruits and vegetables.

Food staples are crops that are a big part of the diet of a certain area. For example, maize (corn), wheat, rice and potatoes are food staples. Others you might not have heard of include: • cassava, a root from a tropical tree • sorghum, a grain used to feed Sorghum livestock • soybeans, plant seeds that have a lot of protein • plantains, similar to bananas, used as a Plantains cooked vegetable Some food staples are grown far from where they are finally eaten.
