Alaska LNG Project OK’d to export Department of Energy approves shipping only to Free Trade Agreement countries By Molly Dischner Morris News Service - Alaska - For the Alaska Journal of Commerce

ANCHORAGE — The U.S. Department of Energy will allow the proposed Alaska LNG Project to export liquefied natural gas from the North Slope to free trade agreement countries, but the project is still waiting for permission to export to nonFTA countries. The primary market for Alaska LNG exports is the non-FTA countries, such as Japan, China and India, although a project could also send some LNG to South Korea, which is an FTA country. The export decision came

shortly after the Nov. 17 comment deadline for Alaska LNG’s application to export North Slope LNG. The project partners have asked to export 20 million metric tons of LNG per year for 30 years. The DOE received 27 comments during the submission period; of those, 22 were supportive of the proposed project, according to the federal coordinator’s office. BP, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, TransCanada Corp. and the Alaska Gasline Development Corp., a state entity, are partners in the Alaska LNG project, which includes an 800mile pipeline, an LNG plant at Nikiski, and a major gas processing plant on the North

Slope. The project began its pre-filing process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in September. Alaska’s congressional delegation applauded the approval Nov. 21. “This FTA license is good news for Alaska, but by law it had to be approved. The real test is the non-FTA license,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski said in a formal statement. “I am watching the process carefully to ensure there are no unnecessary delays in approving exports to Japan and other non-FTA countries. I have said from the beginning that DOE should continue to consider Alaska gas exports on their own separate track — as

they always have.” Rep. Don Young agreed. “Restricting the ability to export LNG would effectively kill the dream of constructing a natural gas pipeline, something we Alaskans have worked on for years,” Young said in a formal statement. “Today’s announcement by the DOE is a positive step in the right direction and moves us closer to bringing our state’s tremendous resources to market. Not only would this project add much needed revenue to the state and provide well paying jobs, it could also provide the Alaskan people access to more affordable energy. As this process moves forward, I remain committed to ensuring

Study: World’s most acidic sea water in Bering Sea

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The world’s most acidic ocean waters are found during the cold winter months in the Bering Sea, according to a new study. Researchers at Columbia University released a series of maps tracking changes in global marine activity. The new maps, based on 40 years’ worth of measurements, show how acidity in marine waters around the globe changes with the seasons. The Bering Sea has shallow waters, a broad continental shelf and ocean currents that deposit nutrients from around the world. Those conditions make for wonderful fisheries, geochemist Taro Takahashi said. But the sea also receives large amounts of runoff from rivers, which dump carbonrich sediments and fresh water. And it’s partially enclosed by land, so acidic waters are more likely to become trapped. Together, the conditions make the Bering Sea ideal for acidity, especially in the winter months when low temperatures allow water to hold maximum carbon dioxide, Takahashi said. Summer blooms of plankton absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the water, dramatically raising pH levels temporarily every year. Then swelling up of carbonrich water from the ocean depths in winter help lower pH levels in that season, scientists say. The Antarctic waters also are vulnerable to acidification, but they are less acidic than the Bering Sea, which gets runoff waters and is almost enclosed where Alaska and Russia nearly touch.

red-tape and federal roadblocks don’t stand in the way.” Sen. Mark Begich also noted that the project, if completed, could have a positive impact on the economy. “This is great news for Alaska’s economy and another step forward for a project that will create thousands of Alaska jobs, keep heating and energy prices down, and boost state revenues,” Begich said in a formal statement. “Thanks to (Energy) Secretary Moniz for coming to Alaska with me this summer to hear from affected Alaskans firsthand – I hope for more good news soon and will keep pushing for a smooth permitting process in the future.”

Inupiat video game released MATT BUXTON Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — The video games released in the lead-up to the holiday season have something for everyone. You’ll be able to steal a car on the fictional streets of Los Santos, go on quests with elves and dwarves by your side, or shoot up mercenaries in mountain villages. You can also play as an Iñupiaq girl named Nuna and her arctic fox sidekick traversing an endless blizzard on the tundras of Alaska, escaping hungry polar bears, navigating treacherous ice floes and exploring the traditional folklore Ben Boettger/Peninsula Clarion and stories of Alaska Native (left) Emma Mullet, blows the starting horn for Emma’s Run, a 5K race held on Saturday at the Kenai Visitors Center. communities.

‘It’s a project of passion and pride.’ — Eric Watson, Cook Inlet Tribal Council

“One of the things that was clear in those initial conversations, it was clear that we needed to make sure that all of the creative decisions were done in partnership with folks from these communities,” Vesce said. “There was no way we could come up, have a conversation, go back to our studio (in Seattle) and make a game that was worth anything.” The development included more than a dozen trips to Barrow and Anchorage to meet with elders, artists, storytellers, craftsmen, youth and “regular folks.” Each time they returned, the development team members would bring examples of the in-game artwork and playable demos to get input on the direction of the game. Never Alone also includes short video documentaries unlocked throughout the game that feature real-life community members telling their own stories about living in the Arctic. The videos have a quality documentary feel, but because of the many visits to the community, they are friendly and personable. The game is voiced by James Nageak in Inupiat in a warm and rich performance that captures the personal nature of oral storytelling. It includes all the asides and humor you might expect when hearing a story told by a grandparent or elder. The game has an added level of care that has gone into its mechanical crafting. The animations are smooth and lifelike, and the game eases the player into puzzles that become more challenging but never impossible. Never Alone can be played in single player, with the player switching between controlling Nuna and her fox friend, or by two players, one controlling each character. Vesce said the initial response to the game has been overwhelmingly positive from gamers and non-gamers alike. “That’s been tremendously rewarding for us, to see young people play and be delighted, C

to see hardcore gamers be delighted and the people who never played a game pick up the controller and be delighted,” he said. “But the most important thing for me, and what’s been most touching, is to see the people from the community ac-

tually saying ‘this is something I’m proud of.’” Eric Watson, the Cook Inlet Tribal Council village liaison, said the game has already had a meaningful impact on the Alaska Native community. The game was showcased at

the Alaska Federation of Natives annual convention and the Youth and Elders conference earlier this year. He said that being able to see your own culture represented in a video game in a way that’s accurate means a lot, especially to Alaska Native youth. “It’s a project of passion and pride,” he said. “It’s an outlet that has allowed us to share our culture and share it with the world.”

Letter that inspired Kerouac found JOHN ROGERS Associated Press

LOS ANGELES) — It’s been called the letter that launched a literary genre — 16,000 amphetamine-fueled, stream-ofconsciousness words written by Neal Cassady to his friend Jack Kerouac in 1950. Upon reading them, Kerouac scrapped an early draft of “On The Road” and, during a threeweek writing binge, revised his novel into a style similar to Cassady’s, one that would become known as Beat literature. The letter, Kerouac said shortly before his death, would have transformed his counterculture muse Cassady into a towering literary figure, if only it hadn’t been lost. Turns out it wasn’t, says Joe Maddalena, whose Southern California auction house Profiles in History is putting the letter up for sale Dec. 17. It was just misplaced, for 60-some years. It’s being offered as part of a collection that includes papers by E.E. Cummings, Kenneth Rexroth, Robert Penn Warren and other prominent literary figures. But Maddalena believes the item bidders will want most is Cassady’s 18-page, singlespaced screed describing a drunken, sexually charged, sometimes comical visit to his hometown of Denver. “It’s the seminal piece of literature of the Beat Generation, and there are so many rumors and speculation of what happened to it,” Maddalena said. Kerouac told The Paris Review in 1968 that poet Allen Ginsberg loaned the letter to a friend who lived on a houseboat in Northern California. Kerouac believed the friend then dropped it overboard. “It was my property, a letter to me, so Allen shouldn’t have been so careless with it, nor the guy on the houseboat,” he said. As for the quality of the letter, Kerouac described it this way: “It was the greatest piece of writing I ever saw, better’n anybody in America, or at least enough to make Melville, Twain, Dreiser, Wolfe, I dunno who, spin in their graves.” It turns out Ginsberg apparently was trying to get it published when he mailed the letter to Golden Goose Press in San Francisco. There it remained, unopened, until the small publishing house folded. When it did, its owner planned to throw the letter in the trash, along with every other unopened submission he still had in his files. That was when the operator of a small, independent music label who shared an office with publisher Richard Emer-

son came to the rescue. He took every manuscript, letter and receipt in the Golden Goose Archives home with him. “My father didn’t know who Allen Ginsberg was, he didn’t know Cassady, he wasn’t part of the Beat scene, but he loved poetry,” said Los Angeles performance artist Jean Spinosa, who found the letter as she was cleaning out her late father’s house two years ago. “He didn’t understand how anyone would want to throw someone’s words out.” Although she knew who Kerouac and Cassady were, Spinosa had never heard of “The Joan Anderson Letter,” the name Kerouac gave it for Cassady’s description of a woman he’d had a brief romance with. “It’s invaluable,” historian and Kerouac biographer Dennis McNally said. “It inspired Kerouac greatly in the direction he wanted to travel, which was this spontaneous style of writing contained in a letter that had just boiled out of Neal Cassady’s brain.” It was a style he’d put to use in the novels “On The Road” and “Visions of Cody,” which featured Cassady, thinly disguised under the names Dean Moriarty and Cody Pomeroy, as their protagonists. He’d continue to use it in such books as “The Subterraneans,” ‘’The Dharma Bums” and “Lonesome Traveler,” cementing his reputation as the father of the Beat Generation. Cassady would gain some small measure of fame as Kerouac’s muse and, later, as the sidekick who drove novelist Ken Kesey’s Merry Pranksters bus across the country. Meanwhile, about a third of “The Joan Anderson Letter,” copied by someone before it disappeared, became wellknown to students of Kerouac. When Spinosa discovered she had the whole thing, she took it to Maddalena, a prominent dealer in historical documents and pop-culture artifacts, to authenticate it. He’s reluctant to estimate what it might sell for. Although the original manuscript of “On The Road” fetched $2.4 million in 2001, everyone knew that existed. It’s much harder to estimate the value, he said, of something no one knew was still around. For her part, Spinosa says, she’s just happy her father rescued the letter from the trash. She’s hoping whoever buys it will give the public a chance to see it. “The letter is so good, and you see why these guys loved him,” she says of Cassady’s fellow Beats. “The writing, it just breathes off the page.”

What Others Say

Graceful exit Much can be told from how one han-

dles loss in an election. The same is true in victory. Gov. Sean Parnell has conceded to Bill Walker, who challenged him for the governor’s office in the Nov. 4 election. Parnell graciously conceded as soon as it became apparent Friday that uncounted ballots wouldn’t result in him overcoming Walker’s narrow lead. Walker himself called Parnell’s concession gracious, and the two Alaskan leaders met Saturday to discuss a smooth and cooperative transition. For his part as the victor, Walker also refrained Friday from claiming victory. He awaited Parnell’s announcement. Clearly, this is the way it should be done. While the two politicians disagree somewhat on the direction for Alaska over the next four years and beyond, they both remain Alaskans and likely will encounter each other again. As a politician and Alaskan, Parnell has sought seats of public service. It doesn’t seem out of the realm of possibility that he will do so again. Once, he aspired to be a congressman. Also, after the counting of absentee and questioned ballots on Friday, Republican Chere Klein called House District 36’s apparent winner, independent Dan Ortiz, not delaying the process any more than the already 10 days since election day. Then by Monday, Sen. Mark Begich, a Democrat, promised the Republican winner Dan Sullivan a smooth transition into Alaska’s junior senator seat in Washington, D.C. With Klein and Begich’s political abilities, it’s likely we’ll see one or both of them in politics again. But, in the meantime, the transitions are under way, with all parties on the tickets accepting the voters’ choices and moving forward. As voters, it’s satisfying to see when it’s being accomplished with grace. — Ketchikan Daily News, Nov. 19

Opinion

CLARION P

By GARRY TRUDEAU

Barack Obama, American caudillo

To think that President Barack Obama has taken the oath of office four times (through accidents of circumstance, twice each time he was elected). Taking the oath must have become such old hat that he stopped paying attention. The president is issuing an executive amnesty for illegal immigrants based on blatant contempt for the constitutional order that he is sworn to uphold. Where does Abraham Lincoln go to get his Bible back? The past 400 years of Anglo-American political history can be read as a successful effort to establish and maintain a system tethering the executive to the law. What President Obama is doing will undermine that achievement, both through his own lawlessness and the precedent he will create for subsequent presidents to operate by extralegal fiat. There are many opponents of the president’s unilateral action, but few as eloquent as the president himself through the years. It doesn’t take someone who used to teach constitutional law to know that Congress writes the law and the president executes it, even if he finds it personally distasteful. In one of his many disavowals of having the power he is now wielding, the president said at a Univision town-hall meeting in 2011 that “Congress passes the law. The executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws.” Thank you for the civics lesson, Mr. President. His new theory is that the president huffily demands that laws pass, and

if Congress refuses, he can create a new legal dispensation to his liking. The president and his supporters pretend that the Immigration and Nationality Act contains a gigantic asterisk that Rich Lowry says, notwithstanding the elaborate legal infrastructure set out in the law and the distinctions among different categories of immigrants, the president can do whatever he wants. No Congress would ever write the law this way. The president’s defenders rely on the notion of prosecutorial discretion, the existence of which is uncontroversial. The executive doesn’t have the resources to hunt down and prosecute every violator of our laws, and therefore has to establish enforcement priorities. The Congressional Research Service did a report on prosecutorial discretion and immigration that, for the most part, emphasizes its piddling reach. It says, for instance, that immigration officers may use discretion to decide whom to stop, question and arrest, or whether to issue or cancel a Notice to Appear. No one heretofore has thought this leeway could be used to eviscerate an entire statutory scheme. Under the Obama precedent, future presidents can use the pretense of prosecutorial discretion to dispense with swaths of the federal code and come up

with alternatives. Can’t prosecute all pot dealers? Ignore the drug laws. Can’t find every tax scofflaw in the country? Rewrite the tax code. Other presidents have, in keeping with the law, provided temporary relief to foreign nationals whose native countries have been torn by civil strife or natural disasters. In 1990, George H.W. Bush gave safe harbor to Chinese students after Tiananmen Square. Bill Clinton did the same for Central Americans here after hurricanes hit the region in 1998. The numbers were typically in the hundreds or thousands. All this makes for a sound basis in precedent and the law for President Obama’s decision to give Syrians safe harbor in 2012. It doesn’t come close to justifying his executive amnesty. The gotcha example of George H.W. Bush granting amnesty to some spouses and children of recently legalized immigrants in 1990 isn’t apt either, since the scale was much smaller (only about 140,000 people took advantage of it), and Congress voted to codify it within months. No matter how much the president’s defenders stretch for a legal justification and a precedent, the conclusion is unavoidable that no one has done this before. President Obama is said to want to build his legacy, and he is — as a man who is shamefully careless of his oaths and constitutional obligations.

Veto gives Obama edge on immigration By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent

AP News Analysis

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has the upper hand in the fierce struggle over immigration now taking shape, with a veto pen ready to kill any Republican move to reverse his executive order, Democrats united behind him and GOP congressional leaders desperate to squelch talk of a government shutdown or even impeachment. With the public favoring changes in the current immigration system, the Republicans’ best short-term response appears to be purely rhetorical: that the president is granting amnesty to millions, and exceeding his constitutional authority in the process. Beyond that, their hopes of reversing his policies appear to be either a years-long lawsuit or the 2016 presidential election. Neither of those is likely to satisfy the tea party adherents in Congress — or the Republican presidential contenders vying for support among party activists who will play an outsized role in early primaries and caucuses just over a year away. “We alone, I say it openly, we the Senate are waiting in our duty to stop this lawless administration and its unconstitutional amnesty,” said one of them, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. In remarks on the Senate floor, according to his office, he was channeling Cicero, the ancient Roman orator. In a portion of the oration that Cruz did not mention, Cicero referred to a Roman Senate decree calling for a conspirator against the Roman republic “to be put to death this instant.” More than 2,000 years later, impeachment in the House and a trial in the Senate stand as the sole established remedy against high crimes and misdemeanors by any president. House Speaker John Boehner and Senate C

Marco Rubio, a potential GOP presidential contender who was a leader in passing a bipartisan immigration bill that cleared the Senate, 68-32, in 2013. The measure included a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants living in the country illegally. Obama’s order didn’t go that far. It calls for suspending the threat of deportation for millions, but without the promise of a green card that bestows permanent legal status, much less citizenship. Republicans also argue that Obama is forfeiting any chance of being able to work with Congress to achieve immigration reform. Democrats counter that it’s been about 17 months since the Senate passed the bipartisan bill. Since then, opponents in the House have pressured Boehner successfully not to allow it to come to a vote. They also extracted a promise from him not to allow compromise negotiations with the Senate on any other measure that might ease current restrictions on immigrants. In the hours before Obama acted, Republicans forecast bad outcomes. “This is ... a major boon to the cartels and other gangs who control Mexico’s smuggling networks. And it will almost certainly lead to thousands of people who’ve committed crimes in this country gaining legal status,” said Texas Sen. John Cornyn. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., envisioned a different outcome when asked if a future Republican president might reverse Obama’s actions, potentially subjecting millions who step forward now to get work permits to being deported in the future. “I wish that person luck,” Reid said.

leader Mitch McConnell want none of that. Nor are they interested in provoking a government shutdown as a way to block spending needed to carry out Obama’s order, viewing that as a poor way to embark on a new era of Republican control of Congress. “We’re considering a variety of options. But make no mistake. When the newly elected representatives of the people take their seats, they will act,” said McConnell, who will become majority leader when his party assumes control of the Senate in January. Led by Boehner, House Republicans on Friday filed a lawsuit accusing Obama of abusing his authority in the implementation of the health care law. Officials say the immigration executive order could be added, but it is unclear how long a final judgment might take or who will be sitting in the Oval Office when it does. In the interim, Democrats interrupted their squabbling over dispiriting midterm election losses. “The last two weeks haven’t been great weeks for us,” said New York Rep. Joe Crowley. “The president is about to change that.” The political debate is well underway, although the two parties seem to be appealing to different segments of the electorate. Polls show that the country as a whole and especially Hispanics favor allowing immigrants to remain in the country and work even if here illegally. Conservatives tend to prefer deportation. “The critics are going to call it amnesty,” Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., predicted correctly on Thursday in advance of Obama’s speech. “But as Sen. Rubio has reminded us, doing nothing — leaving the current system in place — is amnesty.” David Espo covers Congress and poliThat was a reference to Florida Sen. tics for The Associated Press.

Evacuation plans readied as Buffalo flooding looms MICHAEL HILL The Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — First came the big storm, then the big dig. Now comes the big melt. Residents of flood-prone areas around Buffalo should move valuables up from the basement, pack a bag and prepare for the possibility of evacuation as up to 7 feet of melting snow posed the threat of flooding, Gov. Andrew Cuomo warned Sunday. “Err on the side of caution,” Cuomo said at a news confer-

ence in Cheektowaga. “You prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and that’s what we’re doing.” Across the Buffalo region — where rising temperatures were expected to approach 60 degrees on Monday — people took that advice to heart. In Hamburg, Pete Yeskoot bought a portable generator to make sure his sump pump will keep working once the roughly 80 inches of snow that fell on his property melts. Possessions are up on blocks in the basement and he has food for sev-

eral days. “Behind us is an 18-mile creek so everything in the village will come through us at some point, so we have to get ready for the possibility of flooding,” he said. “And given all this snow, we have to expect that this is real.” Rain fell Sunday, with temperatures rising to 50. It was expected to be even warmer Monday, accompanied by more rain and rising winds, leading to the threat of toppled trees and power outages. National Guard members

Around the World Israeli Cabinet approves bill that defines country as Jewish state JERUSALEM (AP) — In a move likely to further inflame tensions with Israel’s Arab citizens, the Israeli Cabinet on Sunday approved a bill to legally define the country as the nation-state of the Jewish people. The decision, which set off a stormy debate that could bring down Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s brittle coalition government, followed weeks of deadly Arab-Jewish violence and was denounced by critics as damaging to the country’s democratic character and poorly timed at such a combustible moment. It now heads toward a full parliamentary vote on Wednesday. Israel has always defined itself as the “Jewish state” — a term that was contained in the country’s declaration of independence in 1948. The new law seeks to codify that status as a “Basic Law,” Israel’s de facto constitution. While many critics derided the measure as unnecessary, Netanyahu told his Cabinet the bill is a response to Israel’s Arab critics both inside and outside Israel who question the country’s right to exist.

Republicans show how party can combat Obama immigration gambit: Say ‘no’ nicely C

DENVER (AP) — Republicans in search of a way to oppose President Barack Obama’s moves on immigration without alienating the nation’s fast-growing population of Hispanic voters can find a playbook in Colorado. GOP Rep. Cory Gardner won election to the Senate in the midterms in a state where 14 percent of voters are Hispanic. His GOP colleague, Rep. Mike Coffman, won re-election in a district where 14 percent of residents were born in foreign countries. Both opposed last year’s failed bipartisan effort in the Senate to overhaul the nation’s immigration system, a top priority of immigrant-rights groups, especially its centerpiece: a pathway to citizenship for most of the 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally. Both also spoke warmly of the contributions made by immigrants and shifted to the center on other immigration issues. Coffman even learned Spanish. Coffman went on to win his race by 9 points. Gardner tied Democratic Sen. Mark Udall in two heavily Hispanic counties that normally vote overwhelmingly Democratic on his way to a narrow victory. Democrats acknowledge the two Republicans benefited from a change in how they talk about immigration, departing from a bombastic approach that emphasizes border security and deportations. “Villainization is a huge issue,” said James Mejia, former president of Denver’s Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “If you can stop being nasty about it, people will listen to the things you have to say.”

Columbia politician, though his arrest for drug use in the midst of a crack cocaine epidemic often overshadows his accomplishments. The former four-term mayor will long be remembered for one night in 1990 when he was caught on video lighting a crack pipe in an FBI sting operation. In an instant, the then-mayor of the capital city was exposed as a drug user himself. Barry died Sunday at 78. His family said Barry died at the United Medical Center, after having been released from Howard University Hospital on Saturday. Barry first made a name for himself in the South as a leader in the civil rights movement and brought his fierce advocacy to D.C. to support the fight to free the city to manage its own city affairs, not Congress.

US tells Iran it’s time to consider extending nuclear talks VIENNA (AP) — The U.S. told Iran Sunday that it’s time to consider extending nuclear talks, in the first formal recognition by Washington that frenzied last-minute diplomacy may not be enough to seal a deal by a rapidly approaching deadline. A senior U.S. official said that with the Monday evening cutoff date a little more than a day away, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry proposed to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamad Java Zarf that the two sides start discussing post-deadline talks in their latest meeting since Kerry arrived three days ago to add his diplomatic weight to the talks. At the same time, two Western diplomats said, negotiations were continuing with Iran on trying to bridge differences on reducing Tehran’s ability to make nuclear weapons to levels acceptable to Washington while giving the Islamic republic the relief it seeks from international sanctions over its atomic activities. All three officials demanded anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the diplomatic twists and turns of talks that have been under a blanket of confidentiality since the sides started negotiating a comprehensive nuclear deal eight months ago.

Russian, Italian, US astronauts head for International Space Station

BAIKONUR, Kazakhstan (AP) — A Russian capsule carrying three astronauts from Russia, the United States and Italy has blasted off for the International Space Station. The Soyuz capsule roared into the predawn darkness just after 3 a.m. Monday (2100 GMT Sunday) from the Russian manned space facility in Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

spent Sunday clearing storm drains and culverts to facilitate runoff, and shoveling snow off roofs. The National Weather Service said core samples of the deep snowpack showed it contained as much as 6 inches of water. Forecasters said some stretches of road in urban areas might become submerged under several feet of water if storm drains remained clogged. The melt could first cause basements to fill up and roads to flood, but another concern was creeks overflowing. In

West Seneca, there was already a sewer pump stationed near Michelle Pikula’s house along the Buffalo Creek. “Hopefully the rain won’t be here until later and this will be a slow thaw, but flooding is our major, major concern here,” she said. Cuomo said evacuation plans and emergency shelters were being readied in case of flooding Sunday night and Monday. As a backup to Red Cross shelters, Cuomo said the state would have shelters at community colleges and state

university campuses. The state Thruway, which had been closed for 132 miles at the height of the lake-effect storm last week, was entirely open Sunday. All driving bans were lifted except in Lackawanna, where snow-removal crews worked to open up streets that had become parking lots with hundreds of abandoned, buried vehicles. Most snow-affected school districts remained closed Monday, and at least four called off classes for the entire Thanksgiving week.

Islamic State systemically recruits, exploits children By ZEINA KARAM and VIVIAN SALAMA The Associated Press

BEIRUT (AP) — Teenagers carrying weapons stand at checkpoints and busy intersections in Iraq’s second-largest city, Mosul. Patched onto the left arms of their black uniforms are the logos of the Islamic Police. In Raqqa, the Islamic State group’s de facto capital in Syria, boys attend training camp and religious courses before heading off to fight. Others serve as cooks or guards at the extremists’ headquarters or as spies, informing on people in their neighborhoods. Across the vast region under IS control, the group is actively conscripting children for battle and committing abuses against the most vulnerable at a young age, according to a growing body of evidence assembled from residents, activists, independent experts and human rights groups. In Syria’s Aleppo province, an activist affiliated with the rebel Free Syrian Army said its fighters encountered children in their late teens “fairly often” in battles against the rival Islamic State group. It is difficult to determine just how widespread the exploitation of children is in the closed world of IS-controlled territory. There are no reliable figures on the number of minors the group employs. But a United Nations panel investigating war crimes in the Syrian conflict concluded that in its enlistment of children for active combat roles, the Islamic State group is perpetrating abuses and war crimes on a massive scale “in a systematic and organized manner.” The group “prioritizes children as a vehicle for ensuring long-term loyalty, adherence to their ideology and a cadre of devoted fighters that will see violence as a way of life,” it said in a recent report. The panel of experts, known as the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, conducted more than 300 interviews with people who fled or are living in IS-controlled areas, and ex-

In the Syrian civil war, the Free Syrian Army and Nusra Front rebel groups also recruit children for combat, said Leila Zerrougui, the U.N. secretarygeneral’s special representative for children and armed conflict. But no other group comes close to IS in using children in such a systematic and organized way. And the effect is that much greater because IS commands large areas in which the militants inculcate the children with their radical and violent interpretation of Shariah law. “What is new is that ISIS seems to be quite transparent and vocal about their intention and their practice of recruiting children,” said Laurent Chapuis, UNICEF regional child protection adviser for the Middle East and North Africa, using an alternate acronym for the group. “Children as young as 10, 12 years old are being used in a variety of roles, as combatants as

messengers, spies, guards, manning checkpoints but also for domestic purposes like cooking, cleaning, sometimes providing medical care to the wounded.” “This is not a marginal phenomenon. This is something that is being observed and seems to be part of the strategy of the group,” Zerrougui said. She said some children join voluntarily for various reasons but others are targeted. “They are abducting children and forcing them to join, they are brainwashing children and indoctrinating them to join their group. All the tools used to attract and recruit children are used by this group,” she said, adding that children as young as 9 or 10 are used for “various roles.” In areas of Syria and Iraq under their control, the Sunni extremists have closed schools or changed the curriculum to fit with their ideology. Their goal, according to the U.N., is to use education as a tool of indoctrination to foster a new generation of supporters.

Seattle defense shuts down Cardinals By The Associated Press

SEATTLE — Russell Wilson found backup tight end Cooper Helfet for a 20-yard catch-and-run touchdown late in the third quarter, Steven Hauschka kicked four field goals and the Seattle Seahawks handed the Arizona Cardinals their second loss of the season, 19-3 on Sunday. Wilson was sacked a season-high seven times by Arizona’s ultra-aggressive defense and the assortment of blitzes they called to confuse and fluster the Seahawks quarterback. But when Seattle (7-4) needed a scoring drive, after squandering advantageous field position throughout the game, Wilson delivered. The victory was a must for Seattle if it had any hopes of getting back into the division race. The Seahawks entered the day trailing Arizona (9-2) by three games in the NFC West. BRONCOS 39, DOLPHINS 36 DENVER — Peyton Manning threw three of his four TD passes to Demaryius Thomas and C.J. Anderson ran for 167 yards and the go-ahead score in the Denver

Broncos’ win over the Miami Dolphins. Anderson’s 10-yard run with 5:01 left gave the Broncos (8-3) their first lead of the game at 32-28. T.J. Ward’s 37-yard interception return of Ryan Tannehill’s pass set up Wes Welker’s insurance TD catch. The Broncos needed it after Tannehill drove the Dolphins (6-5) on another scoring drive, hitting Jarvis Landry from a yard out with 1:34 left. Lamar Miller’s 2-point dive made it a 3-point game. The Dolphins’ onside kick was recovered by — who else? — Anderson, who sealed the game with a 26-yard run. Anderson, who had 27 carries, also caught four passes for 38 yards. Manning became the third player in NFL history with touchdown passes in 50 consecutive games, joining Drew Brees (54) and Tom Brady (52). He completed 28 of 35 passes for 257 yards and no interceptions on a cool Colorado evening.

BROWNS 26, FALCONS 24 ATLANTA — Brian Hoyer shook off three interceptions, leading the Cleveland Browns down the field in the final minute to set up Billy Cundiff’s 37-yard field goal as time expired to beat the Atlanta Falcons. Taking advantage of the last of Hoyer’s

picks, the Falcons drove for Matt Bryant’s 53-yard field goal with 44 seconds remaining to seize the lead. But Hoyer completed four straight passes, the last of them to the Falcons 19, and spiked the ball with 5 seconds left. Cundiff trotted on and made his fourth field goal of the game for the Browns (7-4). Atlanta (4-7), coming in improbably tied for first in the woeful NFC South, dropped to 0-7 against teams outside the division. Isaiah Crowell scored a pair of touchdowns for the Browns, who also were bolstered by the return of Josh Gordon. He had eight catches for 120 yards.

leader for the third consecutive game, following wins over Denver and Indianapolis. Detroit (7-4) lost for the second straight week against a conference leader after falling to Arizona 14-6 last Sunday. LeGarrette Blount rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns three days after signing with New England after being cut by Pittsburgh. In the win over the Colts, the Patriots stuck with the running game as Jonas Gray rushed 37 times for 201 yards and four touchdowns. After being sent home from Friday’s practice for reporting late, he didn’t play at all on Sunday.

PATRIOTS 34, LIONS 9

MINNEAPOLIS — Eddie Lacy rushed for 125 yards on 25 carries, both season highs to help Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers hang on against the Minnesota Vikings. Lacy scored twice, on a run in the first quarter and a catch in the fourth. Then, he rumbled through the line for two first downs to drain the clock after the Vikings (4-7) cut the lead to three with 3:23 remaining. Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and again avoided a turnover for the Packers (8-3), who stayed out of a potential trap against a struggling team with a game next

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady threw for 349 yards and two touchdowns in a pass-heavy offense against the NFL’s stingiest rushing defense and the New England Patriots stretched their winning streak to seven games with a victory over the Detroit Lions. The Patriots led 24-6 at halftime as Brady repeatedly found wide-open receivers while the Lions struggled on offense. For the second straight game, Detroit failed to score a touchdown.

EAGLES 43, TITANS 24 PHILADELPHIA — Josh Huff returned the opening kickoff 107 yards, LeSean McCoy ran for 130 yards and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Tennessee Titans. Huff’s return was the longest in franchise history and the 10th non-offensive touchdown for Philadelphia this season. Mark Sanchez threw for 307 yards and one touchdown in his third start for the injured Nick Foles. He has 300 yards passing in three straight games, tying a team record. Now, the Eagles (8-3) can shift their focus to the Dallas Cowboys (8-3) for a firstplace showdown on Thanksgiving. The top two teams in the NFC East will play twice in 18 days, starting with Thursday’s game at Dallas. Rookie Zach Mettenberger had 345 See NFL, Page A-7

Kentucky routs Montana State By The Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Devin Booker scored a career-best 18 points, Aaron Harrison added 14 and No. 1 Kentucky held Montana State scoreless for several stretches Sunday night to race to an 86-28 victory. A game in which the Wildcats (5-0) finished just 29 of 67 from the field (43 percent) was offset by a defensive effort that forced the overmatched Bobcats (0-4) into 21 turnovers and held them to 20 percent shooting. Then again, opportunities were hard all night for Montana State, which went scoreless for nearly five minutes in the first half and scored its first secondhalf points with 9:36 remaining to make it 65-13. Joey Frenchwood’s seven points led the Bobcats. Booker’s second straight double-digit game helped Kentucky regroup from an 0-for-10

shooting start as the 6-foot-6 freshman guard scored 12 firsthalf points including a pair of 3-pointers. He had 15 in Friday night’s win over Boston University. No. 11 WICHITA ST. 105, NEWMAN 57 WICHITA, Kan. — Ron Baker scored 16 of his 18 points in the first half, leading Wichita State past Division II school Newman. Darius Carter scored 15 and Fred VanVleet added 12 for the Shockers (3-0), who led 67-33 at halftime against Newman (2-1). Reggie Baker led Newman with 14 points, while Cortrael Colbert added 12.

WEST VIRGINIA 78, No. 17 CONNECTICUT 68 SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Juwan Staten had 23 points and West Virginia hold off several secondhalf runs to beat Connecticut in the C

championship game of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Jonathan Holton and Daxter Miles, Jr. added 10 points each. The Mountaineers (5-0) never trailed in the game, and forced 19 Connecticut turnovers in the victory over their former Big East Conference rivals. Staten was named the tournament Most Valuable Player. Teammate Devin Williams also joined him on the all-tournament team. Ryan Boatright led the Huskies (3-1) with 17 points. Daniel Hamilton added 15 points and 11 rebounds. But Hamilton also led the team with eight turnovers.

No. 18 OKLAHOMA 90, NORTHWESTERN ST. 68 NORMAN, Okla. — Isaiah Cousins scored 20 points to help Oklahoma rebound from its first loss of the season by beating Northwestern State. Oklahoma (2-1) came out flat against Northwestern State (2-2) be-

fore seizing control of the game during the final 10 minutes of the first half, extending a one-point lead to a 50-30 advantage by halftime. Four other players scored in double figures for the Sooners, who will head to the Bahamas later this week to play in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. Oklahoma lost by two to Creighton on Wednesday, 65-63.

No. 20 OHIO STATE 106, SACRED HEART 48 COLUMBUS, Ohio — D’Angelo Russell scored 32 points and Shannon Scott set a school record with 16 assists to lead Ohio State to a win against overmatched Sacred Heart. Russell’s total tied the second most for a freshman at Ohio State, trailing only Jared Sullinger’s 40 points (along with 13 rebounds) against IUPUI in 2010. Scott had 11 points to go with his assist total, which broke Aaron Craft’s mark.

Sports Briefs Federer, Swiss claim Davis Cup LILLE, France — Roger Federer has now claimed all the big prizes on offer in tennis and, for once, will be happy to share his latest trophy with others. Federer ended a week of uncertainty about his aging back with a vintage performance to give Switzerland an emphatic victory over France and its first Davis Cup. His 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Richard Gasquet in the first reverse singles Sunday sealed an unassailable 3-1 lead. That also proved to be the final result, with the final match between Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka not played. It took 15 years for the former top-ranked Federer to achieve Davis Cup success after making his debut in the event in 1999. No wonder he looked so emotional after converting his first match point, falling to his knees and lying face down on the court before hugging team captain Severin Luthi and his teammates.

Ko wins huge payoff NAPLES, Fla. — New Zealand teenager Lydia Ko ended her rookie year on the LPGA Tour with the biggest payoff in women’s golf. Ko won the $1 million bonus from the inaugural “Race to CME Globe” on Sunday by getting into a three-way playoff. Then, the 17-year-old added an extra $500,000 when she defeated Carlota Ciganda of Spain on the fourth extra hole at Tiburon Golf Club to win the CME Group Tour Championship. Ko made par all five times she played the 18th hole on Sunday, and the last one paid handsomely. “It’s been an awesome week, and a week that I’ll never forget,” Ko said. “When I saw that $1 million in the box, I was like, ‘Wow, I wonder who the winner of that will be?’ It’s amazing. I’ve never seen that much cash in one place before.”

Galaxy top Sounders 1-0 CARSON, Calif. — The LA Galaxy spent most of a tense, chippy match deep in Seattle’s end, and Marcelo Sarvas finally drove home the goal that put them on top of the Western Conference championship series. The Galaxy realize they’ve got much more work to do when these MLS powers head north next weekend to finish their seasonlong rivalry. Sarvas scored in the 52nd minute, and the Galaxy opened the conference finals with a 1-0 victory over the Sounders on Sunday. Jaime Penedo posted his third straight shutout for the Galaxy, who still haven’t conceded a playoff goal this season. Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and the Galaxy also haven’t lost at home since their season opener in March, and they kept the Supporters’ Shield-winning Sounders off the scoresheet in a match filled with these teams’ usual fouls and ferocity.

Revolution 2, Red Bulls 1 HARRISON, N.J. — Jermaine Jones finished a counter attack the 85th minute with a tap-in and gave the New England Revolution a victory Sunday in the first leg of the MLS Eastern Conference finals. The result gives the Revolution a significant advantage heading home for the second leg of the aggregate-goals series on Saturday at Gillette Stadium. Jones knocked in a cross inside the six from Teal Bunbury, who sent the ball across from the right after Lee Nguyen started the break in midfield. Bunbury gave the Revolution the lead early and Bradley Wright-Phillips equalized midway through the first half. New York won both previous matches against New England this season, including a 2-0 victory on June 8 that ended a 12-year winless streak in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The victory for New England was its first at Red Bull Arena and first to New York in 10 — The Associated Press trips, dating back to 2007.

. . . Dipnet Continued from page A-1

A point of emphasis this year was increased enforcement near the south beach of the Kenai River to address safety, environmental hazards and private property owners. City administration reported that the changes yielded positive results. The city of Kenai presented its 2014 dipnet report to the city council at a work session Thursday attended by a handful of citizens at Kenai City Hall. Despite fewer salmon that entered the Kenai River during the 2014 dipnet season, compared to last year, more than 38,000 permits were issued to participating Alaskan households, which equated to more than 120,000 users, said Kenai City Manager Rick Koch. Council member Ryan Marquis said the dipnet crowds seem to grow larger every year. “This year I went over to Eric Hansen Scout Park in Old Town and there was a huge crowd of people watching the huge crowd of people on the beach,” he said. “You know you have a lot of people down there when it attracts a crowd.” Kenai residents Bob and Tracey Kautz watch the dipnet crowds on the beach from their home on Toyon Way along the north beach bluff. “If the state is going to burden our little city with this they need to help us,” said Kenai resident Tracey Kautz. “The amount of people on the beach is craziness.”

. . . Run Continued from page A-1

“We had two weeks to put it all together, because I wanted to do it on the day of the actual run that they put on,” Mullet said. “So we somehow managed to put something together, and had 17 people show up.” Last year’s race raised $1300. This year Mullet set a goal of raising $2000 dollars. “We really enjoy living in a

Tracey Kautz said she would like to see a limit to how many family members would be allowed to access the beach. Koch said the city cannot limit the number of people on the beach. “This is a state run fishery but it all happens on city property,” he said. “We don’t have a seat at the table.” Despite the logistical difficulties that come with large crowds, he said the citizens have been welcoming to the dipnet visitors. “Some may have strong feelings of not wanting their town inundated with the fishery,” he said. “It is remarkable how hospitable the community is in spite of it all.” In preparation for the 2014 dipnet season at a work session in January, the city heard from several south beach property owners about their concerns of bank degradation caused by boat wakes and dipnet campers trespassing on private property around Old Cannery Road. In response to those concerns, the city implemented two major changes this year. First was a no-wake zone during periods of high tide along a 6,000-foot stretch on the south of the Kenai River. When the tide reached 20.5 feet high, the Kenai Police and Fire Departments patrolled the no-wake zone, marked with three buoys, to ensure boaters complied with the ordinance. The city estimated that it cost about $30,000 to institute the zone. Koch said operations at the city dock are the most labor intensive. The city has a proposed fee increase at the city

boat launch from $25 for launch and park to $40 and $15 for a parking without a boat trailer to $20. The increase is estimated to bring in an additional $60,000. The city also eliminated beach access on Old Cannery Road, which left Dunes Road as the only access point in south beach. To accommodate the increased traffic to the area, the city placed two fee shacks at Dunes Road. Council member Bob Molloy said the city sent a resolution for a no-wake zone to Alaska’s Board of Fisheries, which establishes fisheries regulation in the state, but the board didn’t accept the proposal. So the city drafted an ordinance on its own. Molloy said he appreciated how hard the city employees worked to manage the fishery and control the chaos. “We have seen lots of changes and there is still more to do,” he said. “We made progress with solutions in south beach and with a new access road, if we build it they will come.” Koch unveiled plans for a new road to access the south beach, north of Old Cannery Road. The state Legislature appropriated $1.9 million for the project, which is expected to be completed in time for the 2015 dipnet season. Koch said the road would provide adequate access to the beach. He hopes to eliminate the trespass problems private property owners experienced in the area, he said. While the fishery wasn’t as profitable as last year, the city was able to collect more user fees by increasing enforcement. The personal use fishery generated $624,728, which was

$53,509 more than what the city budgeted and $48,564 less than last year. Finance Director Terry Eubank said while the dipnet revenue went up, so did the expenditure. The goal is for the dipnet fund to be self-sustaining, he said. A couple of changes to the fee structure were made. Parking and camping were combined into overnight parking for $45. Day use parking remained at $20 and camping without a vehicle was $25. Early on during the season the city had intended to staff the fee shacks from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eubank said it became clear the self-pay stations didn’t work and on July 14, four days after the opening, the city decided to staff the shacks around the clock to capture as much fees as possible. Staff discovered that 16 percent of all transactions occur between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. The decision to staff the shacks at all hours eliminated lost revenue and fee confusion from the self-pay stations and made a tremendous improvement to data collection, Eubank said. The increased cost in added staff hours was nearly $4,000 for 300 hours. His recommendation was to eliminate the selfpay stations and staff the shacks at all hours in the future. Data collected from users showed participants from the central Kenai Peninsula totaled 14 percent, while Anchoragearea residents made up nearly 60 percent of fishery users. One of the problems experienced this year, was traffic being backed up at the north

community that’s able to give so freely and help us out,” said Emma’s mother Monica Mullet, a special education teacher at Kalifornsky Beach elementary. “Especially with Emma being younger and coming up with an idea -- people really took her seriously, and that was nice.” Mullet credited the warmer weather and ice-free sidewalks for this year’s increased attendance. Beech, who ran in this year’s race for the first time, agreed. “It’s a good day,” said Beech. “The weather’s cooperating --

last year we were post-holing through snow.” The 5 kilometer route of Emma’s Run was the same route used for the Kenai River Marathon series. Mike Crawford, one of the volunteers from Tsalteshi Trails Association who timed the race and distributed number bibs to runners, said it was a good route because it included both pavement and dirt and had no road crossings. Tony Eskelin was the first to finish the course, with a time of 20 minutes and five seconds.

Carl Kincaid finished in second place with 21 minutes and 35 seconds, and Emily Heale came in third with 23 minutes and two seconds. After the race, Mullet announced that she had so far raised $1500. Mullet’s fundraising effort also included seeking donations from local businesses, which she said will have until next week to continue contributing.

beach access on South Spruce Street and impatient drivers skipping the fee shacks by driving through the exit lane. Koch presented a recommendation to move two fee shacks up South Spruce Street to provide better flow of traffic with a turnaround spot for larger vehicles. Installation of a swing arm gate for the shacks and the exit lane would also reduce the chance to bypass the shacks, he said. Kenai resident Bob Peters, who is a member of the harbor commission, said he appreciated the city employee’s hard work from management to maintenance. “Some people think the city makes a fortune on the fishery and I know that is simply not true,” he said. Koch said as the fishery has evolved the cost to manage the needs of the participants grows. The department capital requests for Fiscal Year 2016 is estimated to cost $220,000. Among the requests is a tractor with a hydraulic rake to clean the beach for $55,000 and $4,000 for cameras to view north and south beach and the city dock. Council member Brian Gabriel said its important the city works to improve enforcement and make sure everyone who uses the fishery is paying for it. Otherwise the bill is left for the Kenai taxpayers to subsidize it. In the future the administration recommended the dipnet fund provide a fund balance to maintain a reserve to cover the city expenses in the event of a revenue shortfall like the city experienced in 2006, when the state closed the fishery on

Computer science students seek software proposals FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — Computer science students at the University of Alaska Fairbanks are looking for software design proposals as part of their learning process. UAF officials say the projects allow public service and private organizations, to get free software while stu-

an emergency order. The city expenses exceeded income by more than $100,000 that year, Koch said. The Kenai Police Department added six temporary enforcement officers that handled 150 dipnet-related calls from July 10 to July 31. The officers worked to enforce a prohibition on parking in Old Town and issued 132 citations for parking violations, according to a report from Kenai Police Chief Gus Sandahl. The Kenai Fire Department responded to three capsized boats in the Kenai River during the dipnet season. While nobody was seriously injured, one dog died. Paramedics also responded to one all-terrain vehicle rollover on north beach. This year Gabriel said he noticed people access the river near the Warren Ames Memorial Bridge, an area where people damage the wetlands habitat. “We have taken proactive measures to protect those sensitive wetlands because the vegetation doesn’t just grow back overnight. It takes years,” he said. “This is an evolving process and we are always looking to improve.” Marquis said in his five years hearing the dipnet reports every year the city’s handling of the fishery is more “efficient and refined” and the number of complaints reduces each year. “We have more to do but I’m proud of how the city has been able to adapt and react,” he said. “I think we are going in the right direction.” Reach Dan Balmer at dan. balmer@peninsulaclarion.com

On a mission for STEM eduction By JOSEPH B. FREDERICK Associated Press

LANGHORNE, Pa. — Kelly Mathews is on a mission — to get more girls interested in STEM. That’s science, technology, engineering, and math. And for Mathews, it’s a mission that begins at home with her 9-month old daughter, Marilyn. “I want her to look at things and wonder how they tick,” Mathews says, “and know

that if she looks at something and says, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if it could do that?’ that she can make it do that.” That’s why Mathews reads books like “Rosie Revere, Engineer” to Marilyn and stocks her nursery with other such books, like “HTML for Babies.” Mathews, a software engineer in Chalfont, Pennsylvania, believes the earlier girls are introduced to these fields, the better the chance they will be empowered to pursue those careers when they graduate

from high school. That’s a belief that is gaining support in the education and business communities. The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates women make up less than 25 percent of the workforce in jobs related to STEM, an acronym coined by a member of the National Science Foundation in the 1990s. Mathews has teamed up with TechGirlz, a Philadelphia-based nonprofit that aims to bridge the gender gap by teaching middle See TECH, page B-3

As a former Agrium employee, Laube has intimate knowledge of the facility allowing him to provide a very meaningful experience for his students. There were 22 students that participated in the four hour tour. KPC’s process technology program has received an important endorsement from the North American Process Technology Alliance.

Paramedic program receives funding for simulator It was recently announced that KPC’s EMT/Paramedic program will receive funding from the Denali Commission in the amount of $18,870 for the purchase of a Pediatric High Fidelity Simulator (Sim Man Jr.). According to Paul Perry, assistant professor of paramedicine, the new simulator rounds out the department’s cast of human simulators. “We are fortunate to have these high fidelity simulation manikins. The new simulator will be used for certification in emergency pediatric care. It is anticipated that this equipment will also be used by the nursing program and other allied health programs,” Perry said. Perry indicated that a new ambulance simulator will come online in mid-January. The simulator will augment the other simulation stations in the department, allowing students to run the gamut of the first responder experience of entering a home or business, treating simulated patients and then transporting them to the hospital emergency department.

Alaska’s oil and gas industry has recognized that students who successfully complete the process technology and/or industrial process instrumentation associate of applied science degree programs are primed to enter the workforce ready to work. It is getting more and more common for companies to come on campus to interact with students who are potential interns or entry-level employees. Sandie Gilliland, KRC’s process technology program coordinator, recently arranged for Tabetha Toloff, Alyeska Pipeline human resources representative, to meet with KRC students at a recruitment luncheon. Toloff explained the application process and offered tips on resume preparation. Alyeska Pipeline had a number of pipeline technician positions open and many of the students in attendance expressed interest in applying.

We are also growing grass to determine what effects the growth and health of a plant the most: light, heat, water, soil, or air. Mrs. Romatz’s third graders are busy working on their digital storytelling projects. They have written stories or reports, are

illustrating them, and will soon add their dramatic voice and music recordings to make their movies. They are very excited to bring home their own DVD recording of their first movie written and directed by themselves. We are also working on publishing our own class book of the ABC’s of Alaska. Each student has chosen a letter of the alphabet and a coordinating Alaskan themed item that begins with that letter. They are researching and writing reports about them and will illustrate them accordingly. Then we will send it off to the publisher and have it bound into a real hardcover class book. We are working hard to read informational text in order to learn and share facts about the Great State of Alaska! n November 26 – Early Release Day, school will let out at 12:55 p.m. n November 27 and November 28 – No school due to Thanksgiving Break n December 4 – Band Concert in the K-Beach gym at 6:30 p.m.

The above is to improve our overall school security. There are two ways to order a transcript. Each way serves a different purpose. If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: www.parchment.com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace… rather than the US mail… to get to its destination, which is much faster! All transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way! Final Transcripts: A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades… If parents or students order transcripts when the school is in second semester,,, the person who orders the documents will need to make sure to choose “next grading period” when on Parchment… that way the transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.

Mathews hopes that by starting early, her daughter will know a career in STEM is well within her reach. “If she wants to, and if she doesn’t want to that’s great too. I just want her to know what’s out there.”

Retiring custodian celebrates holidays By TONY HUFFMAN Effingham Daily News

EFFINGHAM, Ill. (AP) — After 53 years of mopping hallways and cleaning every surface imaginable at Effingham Unit 40 schools, the idea of retirement sent tears down the friendly contours of James Moschenrose’s face. “This is hard,” he said. “You get up in the morning and go to work. ... That is what you do.” In a career that began at a Watson school in 1961 and then moved to Central Grade School in 1979, the holiday display Moschenrose started 40 years ago has become synonymous with the season. The head custodian’s annual effort is appreciated by students and staff alike. To honor his final year at the school, this year’s Christmas Walk will feature his display. The public is invited to visit Central Grade School, located on South U.S. 45, from noon to 5 p.m. on Nov. 30. Moschenrose’s dedication to the exhibit includes purchasing hundreds of items for the display over the years and using his vacation time to set up the elaborate arrangement. Although several people at Central Grade School have asked him to continue making the display during retirement, he isn’t sure he can continue the lengthy ef-

fort required for the vast array of holiday scenes. “This might be the end,” said Moschenrose, 73, who noted it takes a month to set up. “It gets harder to set it up every year.” For now, Moschenrose is enjoying his final curtain call during his favorite time of the year. “I do this because I love winter and the holidays,” he said. During his time in Unit 40, the life-long custodian has seen many changes in the district. He says kids are rowdier now than 53 years ago. However, that observation doesn’t extend to the way kids treat the holiday display. “It has always amazed me that the kids don’t touch any of this,” he said. “They are so respectful. Nothing has ever been broken.” The display stretches throughout the cafeteria at the grade school. Both entrances are lined with more than 10 Christmas trees, a nativity scene, snowmen and other holiday décor. Inside the cafeteria, handmade streamers drape the ceiling. Pictures of the evolution of the display, which started as three tables at the Watson school, line one wall. Moschenrose says the prize display is a village scene that is about 30 feet long and 10 feet wide. When he turned on a model train that weaves through

the town, kids immediately stopped to take notice after the final bell rang Wednesday. The camaraderie he has brought to Central Grade School amazes those who work around him. “This building became his baby in 1978 when they built it, and it has been that way ever since,” said Assistant Principal Todd Schutte, who has worked with Moschenrose since 1996. “People who walk through of-

ten recognize how clean and how well kept it is, and that is because of him.” Over the years, administrators have come to rely on the custodian’s unwavering commitment to the upkeep and care at Central Grade School. “I don’t have to worry about checking on the building because he always does,” said Schutte. “If there is an alarm that goes off in the middle of the night, he is the first person

who is called.” Schutte believes the Christmas Walk is an appropriate sendoff for Moschenrose, but he said students and staff aren’t happy to see him go. “Most years, when he isn’t setting up early for the Christmas Walk, he starts putting up the display right after kids go home for Thanksgiving break on Wednesday,” said Schutte. Moschenrose often works on Thanksgiving to get it done,

Schutte noted. “Kids look forward to seeing it when they come back from break,” the assistant principal said. In addition to the work ethic, Schutte says the display gives students and parents a peak into Moschenrose’s many talents. “A lot of people don’t realize he is very artistic and creative,” said Schutte. “He came up with the layout of this and painted the backdrops himself.” The Watson resident said the display changes every year. “The older I got, the more time I spent deciding where everything would go,” said Moschenrose. When pressed about returning next year to set up holiday décor, Moschenrose said it isn’t out the question. For the time being, he plans to enjoy his retirement with his wife, Dorothy, who recently retired after putting in nearly 30 years herself as a custodian at Unit 40. “I have to stay active because I am 73 and will be 74 by the time I retire,” said Moschenrose. “I don’t want to get down, because when you are older, once you get down, you stay down.” He plans to travel, but said his services are only a phone call away. “Hopefully they call me and say, ‘We need a substitute today,” he said.

Program helps students master Mandarin language By HALEY DOVER Journal & Courier

LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Nate Morrison wants to be an engineer. The Jefferson High School sophomore already is enrolled in STEM classes and is considering Purdue University for his postsecondary education. But Morrison knows he needs more than a scientific background to be successful, so he’s learning Mandarin Chinese. Morrison is one of more than 200 Lafayette School

Corp. students immersed in the language. The district started offering courses in 2007, the Journal & Courier reported. John Layton, associate superintendent, said the federal government lists Mandarin as a critical language for people to learn in terms of national security. “Those students who gain command of the language may have doors open for them in the business world, in government or whatnot,” he said. With the Nanshan America Advanced Aluminum Tech-

nologies plant open on Lafayette’s south side, more Chineseowned industries could choose to come to Tippecanoe County, Layton said, presenting even more opportunities for students in Indiana. To unlock those doors, LSC allows its students to start young. The corporation offers a Mandarin Chinese language exploratory class to high-ability students at Edgelea Elementary School. When students enter Sunnyside Intermediate, the curriculum intensifies to prepare students for Mandarin

fluency courses, through which they can earn high school credit beginning in seventh grade at Tecumseh Junior High. At Jefferson, levels I through IV are offered for students who either want to start their Mandarin education or continue their studies. Under the leadership of Wei Hong, a foreign language professor at Purdue, the university is home to the Confucius Institute. In 2010, LSC became designated as a Confucius Classroom district, or the K-12 equivalent. “Together we have worked C

to provide Chinese cultural experiences for our students, even those who are not learning the Chinese language,” Layton said. “It has made a lot of sense for us to offer Mandarin on many levels, and we are very proud of it.” Sophomore Abbey Armstrong said she wants to go into the medical field after college. The 15-year-old has been learning Chinese since she was in second grade and is now in the level III class at Jefferson. Armstrong said she wanted to stick with learning the language

because Mandarin could help her pursue a career in another country. “It will help me if I need to help others who don’t speak fluent English,” she said. Chinese can help students in a variety of ways, said Ye Sun, Mandarin teacher at Jefferson. The complicated language allows them to have a better understanding of other cultures, she said. Students become more accepting of Chinese people and tend to ask more questions about the culture, she said.

Tardy worker who was fired seeks right time to explain it DEAR ABBY: I was recently fired from my job for chronic tardiness. I have worked at this business for four years, and although I knew my lateness was seen as a problem by my boss, it was still a surprise. Now that I’m back in the job market again, I’m wondering if I need to mention my previous tardiness on employment applications. I asked my mother, who has been privy to this whole mess. She thinks I should mention it and explain that I have learned my lesson — especially when applying to a different branch of my former company that would have direct access to my evaluations. I think I should explain my tardiness as a “lesson learned” on job interviews when/if it comes up, not on applications where I am trying to put my best foot forward. What say you? — TARDY FOR WORK DEAR TARDY: While I think your mother may mean well, I agree with YOU!

Charlie should be introduced to Sean by his name for now. When the boy is old enough to understand — in a year or two — he should then be told that he has two dads and that he’ll be sharing time with both of them because they both love him.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

A baby born today has a Sun in Sagittarius and a Moon in Capricorn. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Nov. 24, 2014: This year you easily grab center stage. You have intensity, spirit and flair, and a new need to be practical. It is not always natural for you to be practical, but it eventually will become habit; it also will add to your success. You often might have to brainstorm with others to fulfill your goals. If you are single, you naturally attract a slew of admirers. Your choice depends on what type of relationship you desire. If you are attached, your sweetie will need to adjust to the practical element of this bond! CAPRICORN understands you better than you understand yourself. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You’ll assume a strategic role in whatever is going on around you. You are a natural leader. Listen to your inner voice in an interaction with a higher-up. Trust your gut and your decisions. Tonight: Find a more effective way of clearing out stress and frustration. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You are capable of seeing the bigger picture. Your ability to sense which way would be the best to proceed is likely to kick in. A friend might be able to offer yet another perspective. The more you understand, the better your choices will be. Tonight: Follow the music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHHYou’ll be ready to move in a new direction, but you could feel

hesitant, as you might not be in agreement with someone else who is involved. See how you feel after you have an important conversation with this person. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Defer to others, and understand where they are coming from. Your ability to identify with people often proves helpful. A loved one will demonstrate his or her caring through a special invitation. With less responsibility, you will have some extra time. Tonight: Out and about! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You have a unique ability to draw others toward you. Be careful, as there could be an innate competitiveness for your attention. Everyone will expect to feel the most important to you, because that is how you make each of them feel most of the time. Tonight: Run errands. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Some of you might be too distracted to focus on anything except a situation that seems to be consuming your life. Prioritize, and complete what is on your mind first. Later, you will be able to pay more attention on other concerns. Tonight: Accept a spontaneous invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by everything that is happening around you. In fact, you might need to isolate yourself in order to complete what you feel is imperative. Brainstorm with a friend or loved one who tends to be inspirational. Tonight: Buy a favorite treat on the way home.

Ziggy

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You tend to be discreet, but you love the limelight, too. You might find that you are struggling between practical concerns and wanting to impress others. Know that you don’t have to look at this situation in all black-or-white terms. Tonight: Return calls and emails. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHYou’ll be able to get whatever you want right now, but understand that cost might be an issue. You also will want to evaluate the emotional toll it could take on you. You are an impulsive sign, so pat yourself on the back for thinking before acting. Tonight: Treat yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your high energy will spur you to embrace what lies ahead. Tame a need to be glorified, as this characteristic will not serve you well. Keep your eye on the big picture and on your objectives, and you are likely to succeed. Tonight: Maintain a sense of humor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Others seek you out.You love being around people, but you could have a personal matter in your head that is draining you. You might want to consider asking for a rain check, and then planning a visit in the near future. Tonight: Take a much-needed personal night. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH With so much going on, you might need to zero in on your priorities. Some of you will have meetings to schedule; others will have personal matters to handle. Regardless, you are a sign that flourishes around people. Tonight: Be where your friends are.

The return spot is across the lot? Dear Readers: Here is this week’s Soundoff, about cart returns in store parking lots: “While it’s awfully considerate of businesses to reserve handicapped parking close to the store, why don’t they place cart returns close to the handicapped spaces? Instead, they expect us to walk halfway across the parking lot or all the way back to the store to return the cart.” — W.E., Harrisonburg, Va. Now that you mention it, I have noticed that. It might be because they think that people using those spots also may be helped out to their car, and that the store employee helping them would return the cart. Talk to a store manager — maybe if enough people speak up, things will change. — Heloise Fast Facts Dear Readers: Here are other uses for old fleece blankets: * Place on a pet’s favorite sleeping spot. * Cut and make into small blankets for dolls. * Make into a scarf. * Keep in a car for cold days. * Wrap it around backpack straps for comfort. — Heloise Swimsuit choices Dear Heloise: You were right-on when telling swimmers how to wear and care for swimsuits. I have been a swimming teacher for more than 26 years, and have found that a suit made with polyester much outwears those of nylon. — Carol T., via email Wow, so many wrote in with the same hint — thanks to all! Keep swimming along! — Heloise

SUDOKU

By Tom Wilson

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