Following a meeting with state leaders to discuss the timeline for marijuana regulations, Gov. Bill Walker on Tuesday announced the implementation of the regulations will remain on schedule. Walker’s meeting with representatives from the Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development, the Department of Revenue and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board was aimed at gauging where the agencies are in developing policies when the law goes into effect Feb. 24. “We have strong, cooperative leadership heading up implementation of this very important act,” Walker said in a Tuesday press release. “They assured me that we can meet the statutory and regulatory timelines outlined in the initiative that voters passed in November. I’m confident that we can be diligent in our efforts to make sure we have adequate regulations for this new industry in place and on time.” Once marijuana is officially legalized beginning Feb. 24, the ABC board has nine months — until Nov. 24, 2015 — to adopt regulations for the sale of marijuana. The board anticipates accepting applications for marijuana licenses by Feb. 24, 2016 with the initial industry licenses to be awarded by late May 2016, according to the press release from the Gov. Walker’s office. The ABC board has been tasked with the implementation of regulations until a Marijuana Control Board is established. The board will be housed within the DCCED, which is leading the effort to adopt regulations for the industry launch while still “upholding

By TIM BRADNER Morris News Service-Alaska/ Alaska Journal of Commerce

Gov. Bill Walker and his new administration are still settling in as state legislators are packing up to head to Juneau for the 2015 session. The annual political poker game begins Jan. 20 when the state Legislature convenes. Walker will be at the table. So will House Speaker Mike Chenault; Senate President Kevin Meyer; House Democratic Minority Leader Chris Tuck; and Senate Democratic Minority Leader Berta Gardner. What’s different about the game this year is that the chips on the table will be painful budget cuts instead of new money for projects and programs that Alaskans have enjoyed for years. No more, at least for now. With oil prices still less than $60 per barrel and back-to-back $3.5 billion budget deficits pending it seems like a bleak year ahead. Two credit rating agencies, Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s, have issued warnings about Alaska’s finances. Still, the sky isn’t falling. Alaskans have been through these times before during prolonged oil price slumps in 1986 and in 1998 and a more recent, brief dip in 2009. The state’s economy still seems on sound footing, however. Jobs are increasing, though at slower rates, but employment in key industries like peSee HAND, page A-2

North Dakota, Alaska locked in rivalry for oil, population By JAMES MacPHERSON Associated Press

BISMARCK, N.D. — Forget South Dakota. North Dakota’s most similar sister state these days is some 2,000 miles away. Alaska and North Dakota — which once had little more in common than wintry weather and elbow room — have for the past several years been locked in a state sibling rivalry over population numbers and crude oil output. “It shocks me how much we have

in common with Alaska, and it’s not just the cold,” said Kevin Iverson, manager of the census office at the North Dakota Commerce Department in Bismarck. North Dakota is bettering Alaska on crude production and the number of residents now, thanks to the Lower 48 state’s economic miracle led by its oil bonanza. The United States’ unlikely economic darling that is North Dakota comes in contrast to slipping crude production on The Last Frontier. Recent U.S. Census Bureau data show North Dakota recaptured the

47th most populous state from Alaska, which had held the ranking for the past decade. North Dakota had an estimated 739,482 residents in 2014, up more 15,600 residents from the prior count and a record level. The 2.2 percent increase was the biggest in the nation. Alaska lost more than 500 residents between 2013 and 2014, ending the year with a population pegged at about 736,700. It was among only six states to lose population, data show. North Dakota’s fortunes have swung radically in recent years with advanced drilling technology in the

rich Bakken shale and Three Forks formations that have thrust the state to the nation’s No. 2 oil producer behind Texas. North Dakota, which was barely a top-10 oil producer a decade ago, passed Alaska in 2012 to become the second-leading oil-producing state in the U.S. Oil output in North Dakota is pegged at more than 1.1 million barrels daily, or more than double Alaska’s oil production, which peaked in 1988 at 2 million barrels daily but has dropped to less than one-fourth of that at present.

Two of North Dakota’s 17 oil-producing counties in the western part of the state — McKenzie and Mountrail — are now producing more than all of Alaska. North Dakota’s present day position seemed inconceivable in 2003 when it was the only state to lose population and Alaska vaulted past. Only Vermont and Wyoming had fewer residents than North Dakota then, and both of those states had population increases, the Census Bureau said. Demographers projected at that See RIVAL, page A-5

Police respond to thefts at Kenai Walmart By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

Check us out online at A loss prevention employee www.peninsulaclarion.com called Kenai police at about To subscribe, call 283-3584. 2:45 p.m. Wednesday to report a woman actively stealing merchandise and preparing to leave. Elisa Harman, 46, was arrested on charges of seconddegree theft, first-degree crimi-

nal trespass and two violations of conditions of release after she admitted to the theft. Harman was also charged with possession of heroin after a search of her purse found a hypodermic needle and a metal spoon with burnt residue that tested positive for heroin, according to a Kenai police affidavit. The theft and heroin possession charges are both class C felonies. If convicted, each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and up to $50,000 fine. Kenai police officer Dan Smith stopped a vehicle driven C

by Laura Ivanoff with Harman and Harman’s 2-yearold daughter as passengers in the parking lot. Harman left a second cart of merchandise in the store and attempted to flee when police arrived. The total value of merchandise found in the vehicle was $876. Harman told Smith she needed the items and did not have any way to pay, according to the report. According to court documents, Harman was on conditions of release for a thirddegree theft from Wal-Mart on Sept. 8, 2014 when management banned her from the store. The court ordered Harman not

to have contact with Wal-Mart. Harman was arraigned in Kenai District Court Thursday and a public defender was appointed to represent her. Harman is currently jailed at Wildwood Pretrial Facility. Her next court date is Jan. 12 in Kenai. The incident was the third reported theft at the Kenai WalMart within a week. Kenai police issued a summons to Warren Belford, 29, of Kenai for fourth-degree theft and seconddegree criminal mischief, both misdemeanor charges.

. . . 2015

Development Corp., or AGDC. AGDC is the state corporation that manages both ASAP and the state’s partnership in the Alaska LNG Project. In one other development Alaska LNG Project, Walker announced that Marty Rutherford, Deputy Commissioner in the Department of Natural Resources, will lead the state’s gasline team in negotiating several major issues still to be resolved with the Alaska LNG Project partners: the North Slope producers and TransCanada Corp. Rutherford’s new role has raised some eyebrows. In her previous tenure as the state Natural Resources deputy commissioner, Rutherford was an architect of the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, or AGIA, an initiative of former Gov. Sarah Palin. This was a project that awarded a state contract to TransCanada Corp. to lead a Lower 48 gasline initiative. Legislators became disenchanted with AGIA mainly because of a $500 million subsidy that went with the plan, but in reality the all-land pipeline was undone by a surge of natural gas from Lower 48 shale producers. TransCanada itself promoted a switch to LNG early on, a course ultimately endorsed by former Gov. Sean Parnell and the North Slope producers, which led to the present Alaska LNG Project authorized by the legislature last year. For this year, AGDC plans on spending about $100 million on the state-led ASAP plan with about half of that already expended, Baker said. However, most of this is work that will benefit both ASAP and the larger Alaska LNG Project, he said. Another $25 million was appropriated solely for AGDC’s work on the big project. “From this point forward, any work that does not benefit both projects will not be spent,” he said. State legislators may not take kindly, however, to any plans by Walker to completely scrap the ASAP project, which was initiated as a backup plan to get North Slope gas to Alaska communities in case the big

project falters. Since 2010 the Legislature has appropriated $420 million to the ASAP project with those funds to take the project through to the completion of engineering and permitting and an “open season” for prospective gas shippers in 2016. A good portion of the work funded by those appropriations will benefit both projects, however. An example of this, Baker said, are the five gas off-take points that would supply gas to Alaska communities along the large 42-inch pipeline. The responsibility for planning and building those remains with ADGC regardless of which of the two gas pipelines are built. Preliminary engineering on the offtake points must be done in 2015 because it is part of the pre-Front End Engineering and Design, or pre-FEED, work now underway for the large pipeline project, Baker said. For the Alaska LNG Project to proceed into the full Front End Engineering and Design, which could happen in the first quarter of 2016, the offtake points must have preliminary engineering done, he said. State legislators who back the ASAP alternative backup plan aren’t likely to let Walker completely abandon the stateled 36-inch pipeline plan, however. Rep. Mike Hawker, an Anchorage Republican who cosponsored legislation authorizing the backup gas pipeline, says if may be legally difficult for the governor to block expenditures of a project the Legislature has authorized in law, and such a move in any event would spark a fight with the Legislature. “It seems wrong that the governor can impound those funds from a statutorily directed appropriation,” Hawker said. “He could go after a change in board of directors (of the state gas corporation) but still have a confirmation issue on his hands,” for any replacements Walker might name to the AGDC board. House Speaker Chenault, RNikiski, was also a prime sponsor of the ASAP enabling leg-

islation but Chenault was not available for comment. One potential shipper of gas in the state-led 36-inch pipeline, if the big gas project stalls, is Resources Energy Inc., Japanese consortium planning a 1 to 1.5 million tons-per-year LNG project at Port MacKenzie on upper Cook Inlet. REI hopes to have its project operating by 2020 and plans to use Cook Inlet gas as feedstock, but if North Slope gas is available from either the state-led 36-inch pipeline or an industry-led, 42-inch line, REI could expand its plant to export larger volumes of LNG, its president, Shunichi Shimizu, said in a recent briefing in Alaska. During his campaign, Walker said he hopes to keep the big gas project on schedule. The matter is more urgent now because the revenues the gas project would bring to be state treasury, estimated at $4 billion per year, will be needed to offset declining oil income. Several major steps on the gas project need to be taken this year, however. During the 2015 legislative session, a Payment-in-Lieu of Tax, or PILT, agreement for property taxes on the gas project paid to the state and municipalities must be approved. The state administration must also formally approve the gas royalty and tax payment in-kind, or in the form of gas instead of money, that is a key part of the industry’s joint-venture agreement with the state. The state must also agree to some mechanism that assures North Slope producers that state production taxes on gas won’t change, and the state must sign a long-term agreement with TransCanada Corp. to ship the state’s in-kind share of gas, 25 percent of the total, through TransCanada’s portion of the 42-inch gas pipeline and Gas Treatment Plant. Previously, state officials in the Parnell administration had said a special session of the Legislature is likely in late 2015 to ratify these agreements, but Walker has not yet spoken on this.

. . . Regs

House Speaker Mike Chenault, R-Nikiski, attended the first coalition meeting and found it interesting to hear the different viewpoints. He said it was a good meeting for people who don’t know a lot about cannabis and where they stood on the issue. While he will be heading to Juneau for the legislative session before the next town hall meeting, Chenault said he is always interested in talking about the issue and hearing what people have to say. He said people have voiced concerns about edibles and he expects the Legislature will take a look at the issue. “I expect marijuana will take up a considerable amount of our time,” he said. “I don’t know what the regulations will look like at the end of the day but the subject will create a lot of discussion.” Kenai Peninsula Borough assembly member Kelly Wolf, who represents the Kalifornsky district, has said he will bring an ordinance to the assembly that aims to ban marijuana cultivation with the intent to resale. Wolf said he predicts property owners will come to the borough with zoning issues and concerns about marijuana

growing farms popping up in subdivisions, which could affect property values. “If (someone) started a marijuana grow operation in their backyard, what is the street side appeal if I decide to sell my home?” Wolf said in a Dec. 17 interview. “I don’t question people can use (marijuana) responsibly. I choose not to. Homer voted for it and I think they tipped it over. If they want to be the growing capital of the Kenai Peninsula, more power to them. Lots of people on the Kenai Peninsula really don’t want it.” Wolf said he intends to consult with legal advisers and introduce the ordinance early this year. Theiler said the plan for the next meeting is to formally invite Wolf and any other local legislators who oppose the cannabis enterprise for an open debate with a question and answer session to allow for them to hear from the community in an open format. Theiler said they will send out emails to people who signed up at the first meeting to encourage them to join working groups that delve into specific categories with topics that interest them. The categories are intended to address concerns

heard at the first meeting from how people use marijuana for medical use, edibles, packaging and labeling, transportation, work safety and address appropriate zoning for marijuana dispensaries, he said. Groups of three to eight people would be tasked with researching their specific topic and present their findings to elected officials so they have the best available information, he said. The goal is to provide more information to deconstruct the concerns people have about marijuana and help people take action on their own opinions about how pot should be regulated in their communities as regulations start to be figured out, he said. “It’s important the community hears from our legislators and ask them critical questions about what their vision of a business model could look like,” he said. “(Local politicians) showing up is a big deal.” For more information on the marijuana initiative visit: http:// commerce.state.ak.us/dnn/abc/ resources/MarijuanaInitiativeFAQs.aspx

3 men free moose buried in avalanche ANCHORAGE (AP) — There’s an extra moose alive in southcentral Alaska thanks to three snowmobilers who freed it from an avalanche. Marty Mobley, Rob Uphus and Avery Vucinich, residents of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, on Sunday went riding on the west side of Hatcher Pass about 55 miles northeast of Anchorage, Alaska Dispatch News reported. With Alaska’s unseasonably warm weather, they were wary of avalanches, Mobley said. The came upon a hillside that had both moose tracks and ski tracks. The latter stood out because they don’t see many skiers in the area. About an hour later, they returned and saw that an avalanche had come down, wiping out the tracks. The three friends were concerned that a skier might have been trapped but also knew more snow might fall. “We had about 2,500 feet of mountain above us still,” Mobley said. “Half slid, half didn’t, so we didn’t want to screw around a bunch there.” Mobley spotted something brown moving in the hardpacked snow of the debris field.

public safety and supporting public health,” according to the release. The Department of Public Safety, Department of Health and Social Services and the Department of Environmental Conservation are also working with the DCCED on enforcement, according to the release. Marc Theiler, co-founder of the Kenai Community Coalition on Cannabis, said he was pleasantly surprised with Walker’s comments on the regulatory timeline and called the news positive for the cannabis movement because it shows the governor has confidence in the leadership in place. He said he had spoken with the ABC Board Director Cynthia Franklin and came away impressed with her enthusiastic demeanor and background as a state prosecutor. “She is tough, dynamic and capable to get the job done,” he said. “(Walker’s comments) told me he has the same confidence. It was a bold statement.” While the state begins the regulatory process, the coalition has taken a proactive step to educate the community on how the cannabis industry could operate. Theiler and Soldotna lawyer Eric Derleth have organized a series of town hall meetings to address concerns people have with how the sale of marijuana will be regulated. More than 120 people attended the first town hall meeting on Dec. 17 at the Challenger Learning Center in Kenai. Theiler said he hopes to hear more from those who oppose marijuana legalization at the next meeting, which is tentatively set for Jan. 19, one day before the Kenai Peninsula Borough assembly meeting. The coalition started a Facebook page in early December and currently has 88 members. Theiler said since the first meeting, people have continued the conversation on the group’s page by sharing studies and articles about marijuana. He said its interesting to see the group develop and the comments have encouraged a lot of dialogue about what people would like to see in their community. C

Community space a good investment In many cases, what happened in 2014

should stay in 2014. But there’s one strong trend from the past year we’d like to see continue this year, and for years to come — the value being placed by our community on community spaces. In looking back over the past year, the Clarion recently reported on the public’s use of the new space at the expanded Joyce K. Carver Soldotna Public Library. The space has been utilized by a number of community groups, and the library has activities scheduled for all ages and catering to a wide range of interests. Likewise, the Kenai library, which was expanded just a couple of years ago, has numerous community activities filling the space. The interest in community spaces can be seen in many other places, too. Area senior centers have long been popular. Boys and Girls Clubs and teen centers see plenty of use. The new community center in Sterling has become a draw. Look around the central Kenai Peninsula, and you’ll see plenty of community interest in upgrading parks and other recreation facilities, and expanding area trails. From parks to bike paths to trails, those spaces are getting plenty of use. Even in mid-winter, it’s common to see people using the Unity Trail or enjoying a playground. And if we ever get some more snow, area crosscountry ski trails are sure to be busy. Looking forward, our area is poised for more growth. That means more members of our community interested in using community spaces. There will inevitably be some growing pains that come with increased demand, but an active and diverse group of users is also a benefit as it means more support for community spaces. We’re glad to see our community spaces continue to improve, and to see the number of users grow with those improvements. Good community spaces are an investment that will always pay dividends.

Quotable Former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo gained fame during his three terms in office for his oratory and wit. Some examples: “We believe we must be the family of America, recognizing that at the heart of the matter we are bound one to another, that the problems of a retired school teacher in Duluth are our problems; that the future of the child — that the future of the child in Buffalo is our future, that the struggle of a disabled man in Boston to survive and live decently is our struggle, that the hunger of a woman in Little Rock is our hunger, that the failure anywhere to provide what reasonably we might, to avoid pain, is our failure.” —Democratic National Convention, July 16, 1984.

5 things to know about the economy By JENNIFER AGIESTA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Few issues in a presidential campaign come close to being as meaningful as the economy. The latest Associated Press-GfK poll offers a look at how the public feels about this issue, which touches nearly every aspect of American life. As the 2016 candidates get set to kick off their campaigns, here are five things to know about public opinion on the economy. — The economy isn’t a monolith The economy, writ large, has been America’s top policy priority for the entirety of Barack Obama’s presidency, despite the slowly building recovery and the recent skyrocketing stock market. But focusing on this overall concern masks a distinction that matters to many Americans. Though negative perceptions of the economy overall are down compared with four years ago (57 percent describe it as “poor” compared with 83 percent who did in November 2010), Americans’ ratings of their own finances are actually a bit worse than they were back then (38 percent describe their household’s finances as poor, up from 30 percent in 2010). Young Americans, under age 30, have an exceptionally negative take on their finances, with nearly half describing them as poor. — Education, location, income linked to impression of economy For some in America, the economy is humming along. Majorities of college graduates, urban residents and people with incomes of $100,000 or more say the economy is in good shape. By contrast, just 28 percent of rural residents, 35 percent without college degrees and 35 percent with incomes under $50,000 say it’s in good shape. Half of those with incomes under $50,000 and 42 percent of rural residents say they and their families haven’t yet re-

AP-GfK Poll covered from the Great Recession. — Expectations are somewhat better The poll finds an uptick in Americans’ hopes for their own finances and the nation’s finances in the coming year. In the new poll, 34 percent say they expect their household’s financial situation to improve over the next 12 months, better than the 27 percent saying so in October. And 38 percent think the overall economic situation in the country will improve in the coming year, up from 31 percent in October. On both measures, the share saying things would worsen dropped significantly. Still, 48 percent see stagnation ahead for themselves and 42 percent see sluggishness for the economy more broadly. — Inching toward recovery That expectation of stagnation may be because that’s what most Americans think the economy is doing now. Asked how the economy had changed in the last month, 60 percent said it stayed about the same. Nearly a quarter think it improved, while 14 percent say it’s gotten worse. Those

figures are slightly rosier than in October, when 24 percent said things had worsened. But the majority saying things are staying the same has held over two years of APGfK polls, with one exception during the partial government shutdown in October 2013 when the share saying things got worse spiked to 45 percent. — Little faith in Washington Who can turn things around? Very few think it’s Washington. Two-thirds of Americans say it’s unlikely that the newly elected Republican majority in Congress will be able to improve the economy in the next two years, and 6 in 10 say Obama won’t be able to either. Three in 10 say they don’t even trust either party to handle the economy. But Americans don’t completely discount that Washington can help: 52 percent say the government generally did a decent job helping the country recover from the Great Recession. A scant 10 percent, however, say that Washington did a “very good” job lifting the economy out of recession. The AP-GfK Poll of 1,010 adults was conducted online Dec. 4-8, using a sample drawn from GfK’s probability-based KnowledgePanel.

Seeing the future look like the past It’s that time of year, folks — that is to say, the beginning, a time for totally worthless predictions. Well, maybe they’re not totally worthless, but they have approximately the same value as our annual set of resolutions, the ones we mostly break, doing further harm to our self-esteem. Where do we start? How about the presidential race and what we can expect from those public figures who have far too much self-esteem, so much that they think they can be an effective leader of the free world (or as free as one can be in these times of constant surveillance). As we all know, 2015 is really just pre-2016, where the various candidates tell us what we already know, that they’ve decided to run. Hillary is a lock. Come springtime, or whenever there’s a slowdown in her $300,000-per-speech bookings, she will declare in some sort of lavish ceremony that she intends to become the first woman/former first lady/former senator/former Secretary of State to become the nation’s chief executive, which would mean that Bill Clinton would be the first first gentleman/former president/former Arkansas governor/former Arkansas state attorney general. There will be those who believe that we should just cancel the campaign, that she will have, at that point, wrapped up her nomination. Then there are others of the Democratic

persuasion who are in the “Not so fast, Hillary” wing of the Democratic Party, AKA the progressives, who worry that she is far too cozy with the big-money people they believe are the root of all evil in this Bob Franken country. So here’s a less-safe prediction: Elizabeth Warren also will announce. Yes, I know, she keeps insisting that she’s not going to, but that’s one of those things you say when you are. She’s certainly making all the moves, speaking out louder and louder against the aforementioned fat cats. Each time she does, she causes those who inhabit the left wing of the party to swoon, or at least holler “Run, Elizabeth, Run!” If she doesn’t, Bernie Sanders will. Don’t know Bernie Sanders? He’s the Socialist senator from Vermont, positioning himself to be the one who claims the ultraliberal ground if Warren really means she’s not interested. It’s a position similar to Joe Biden’s, who is waiting to see if there’s any chance in the world Hillary gets cold feet. But enough about the Democrats, it’s the Republicans who have the more interesting possibilities, if you consider “grotesque” interesting. Ted Cruz is another certainty.

He’s spent his every waking moment pandering to the “base” of the GOP. But first he’ll have to outmaneuver a wide range of hard-liners, other big names who clutter the right wing, from Bobby Jindal to Rick Santorum to Mike Huckabee to maybe Michele Bachmann (I kid you not), who are just itching to toss out their red meat. And then, of course, there’s Jeb Bush, who seriously believes the party is hankering for someone who isn’t so ardently conservative. I have some land in Florida I’d like to sell him. But wait, he already owns land in Florida. If he’s right — actually, make that “correct” — then we could very well end up with a Clinton-Bush race again, leaving 320 million or so other people wondering what happened to the United States’ rejection of dynastic rule. Oh, speaking of politics, there’s one other story we should cover, actually two: the remaining presidency of Barack Obama and the new Republican-controlled Congress. Here’s the prediction: Forget all the promises of bipartisanship; it won’t happen. We’ll lurch from crisis to crisis in Washington. In fact, we’ll lurch worldwide. That’s how things work now, which make us wonder why anyone would even want to be president. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

lice (they called them “pigs” then, too) and disdain for the military and America, spawned not just by the Vietnam War but a life of relative ease unknown to their parents. The culture bomb Cal Thomas dropped by the boomers created fallout still being felt today. The two-plus generations born since the Sixties have been infused with the notion of entitlement, victimhood, envy and greed. Since the elimination of the draft, young people are no longer expected to serve in the military and so most of them pursue whatever goals they wish with no expectation they should give something back to their country. It’s one possible explanation for why we can no longer seem to win wars. History warns us what happens when empires refuse to teach known values that strengthen societies and help protect them from enemies intent on their destruction. The late British diplomat Sir John Glubb wrote a book called “The Fate of Empires and Search For Survival.” Glubb noted the average age of empires since the time of ancient Assyria (859-612 B.C.) is 250 years. Only the Mameluke Empire in

Egypt and the Levant (1250-1517) made it as far as 267 years. America is 238 years old and is exhibiting signs of decline. All empires begin, writes Glubb, with the age of pioneers, followed by ages of conquest, commerce, affluence, intellect and decadence. America appears to have reached the age of decadence, which Glubb defines as marked by “defensiveness, pessimism, materialism, frivolity, an influx of foreigners, the welfare state, (and) a weakening of religion.” Decadence, he writes, “is due to: Too long a period of wealth and power, selfishness, love of money (and) the loss of a sense of duty.” Do these not define America at the end of 2014? Glubb says the 250-year average of empires has not varied in 3,000 years, but we don’t learn from history because “our studies are brief and prejudiced.” He means they are mostly about one’s own country. It will take more than a new Congress in 2015 and a new president in 2017 to save us from the fate of other empires. It will take a revival of the American spirit, and that can only come through changed attitudes towards our institutions and each other. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribune.com.

The state’s overall economy remains strong, he said. “Certainly the statewide (population) estimates show a slight decrease, but it is not a huge drop by any means,” Howell said.

The Census Bureau later estimated that about 21,000 North Dakotans left between 2000 and 2007, the year the state’s oil boom began in earnest. North Dakota has since added nearly 84,000 residents and has about 25,000 more jobs than takers, giving it the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, less than 3 percent.

Walker has first inaugural ball Saturday in Valdez

VALDEZ, Alaska (AP) — The first of eight inaugural balls for Alaska Gov. Bill Walker and Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott will be held Saturday evening in Valdez. The Valdez Star reports the $50 tickets were sold out before the ball was announced, leaving some upset residents in the town where Walker got his political start as mayor in 1979. So Walker will hold a free meet-and-greet event from 1-3 p.m. Saturday at Gilson Middle School. Mallott’s travel schedule won’t allow him to attend the afternoon session, but he will in Valdez for the ball.

Other inaugural balls will be Jan. 10 in Juneau, Jan. 17 in Nome, Jan. 24 in Fairbanks, Jan. 31 in Anchorage, Feb. 6 in Wasilla, March 7 in Ketchikan, and one in Kenai, to be scheduled later.

Car chase results in arrest By BEN BOETTGER Peninsula Clarion

An attempt by the Kenai Highway Patrol to contact a stopped vehicle on December 31 resulted in a car chase and an arrest the next day. Jacob Graham’s 2007 Cadillac was parked off of a frontage road near Mile 14 of Kalifornsky Beach Road when highway patrol officers stopped to investigate at 11:36 p.m on Dec.

31. Graham, 22, was under the influence of alcohol, as was an underage passenger. When Graham fled the scene in his vehicle, he became the target of a chase that involved the Highway Patrol, the Alaska State Troopers, and the Kenai Police Department. Spike strips were laid in an attempt to halt the chase, which ended with Graham exiting the moving vehicle and fleeing on foot while his car came to rest

in a ditch. The intoxicated passenger was picked up after the chase, cited for alcohol consumption as a minor, and released to a parent. On Jan. 1, Graham came to state troopers to report that his car had been stolen. While being interviewed by the troopers, Graham admitted to instigating the previous day’s chase in order to evade a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested

and is being held without bail at Wildwood pre-trial facility with charges of first-degree failure to stop at the direction of a police officer, reckless driving, fourth-degree assault and false information or report, and if convicted faces a possible punishment of up to 7 years imprisonment and $52,000 in fines.

‘Eyeball’ sentenced for shooting officer ANCHORAGE (AP) — A man nicknamed “Eyeball” because of a tattoo that darkened the white part of his right eye pleaded guilty to shooting an Anchorage police officer. Jason Barnum was sentenced to 22 years in prison Friday in Anchorage Superior Court. KTUU reported the 30-yearold pleaded guilty to first-degree attempted murder, first-degree burglary and third-degree felony in possession of a weapon. The shooting happened when police were investigating home burglaries and car thefts. Officers were inspecting a hotel in 2012 when Barnum opened fire from a bathroom. Two officers

shot back, striking Barnum in the arm, and one officer was injured. Barnum later admitted to the committing Jason Barnum thefts and burglaries to feed a heroin addiction. In court, Anchorage Police Department Chief Mark Mew took the stand to argue for a harsh sentence. “I think Jason Barnum decided a long time ago that his life was about being hostile to people,” Mew said. Tattoos of skulls cover Bar-

num’s head, which didn’t go unnoticed in court. “I’d like you to take a look at Mr. Barnum,” Mew said. “He has the right to do this to himself and to express himself. We can’t sentence him for that, but I think we can consider a guy’s attitude and his behavior.” But when Barnum took the stand, he was reflective about what happened. “I’m humbled by what the chief said. I was out there pretty much running crazy,” Barnum told the court. “Everybody knows that I’m not the nicest guy. I understand that what I did was wrong. I can’t take none of it back.”

In explaining his behavior, Barnum deflected some blame to the Alaska Department of Corrections, saying he left prison in 2010 with nowhere to go and nothing to do. “I was living on the streets, and I tried to get a job, but of course my beautiful face didn’t allow me to do that,” he said. Anchorage Superior Court Judge Jack Smith said the blame falls on Barnum, whether the system failed, the drugs made him act erratically, or anything else. However, he said the sentence this time includes parole and will likely provide more assistance when he is released and in his mid-fifties.

Alaska communities see record warmth in 2014 ANCHORAGE (AP) — Seven Alaska communities have recorded their hottest annual average temperatures ever in 2014. The relatively warm weather sent dogsled teams traveling hundreds of miles to find reliable snow for training, and interrupted rural travel along rivers that would normally be safely frozen.

The Kuskokwim River usually becomes a highway artery for the community in winter, but it wasn’t drivable for an unusually long time, said Annastasia Hoffman, President of the Bethel Native Corporation. “We have been seeing more and more commuters, who would travel into Bethel for work, have to stay in Bethel be-

cause they cannot commute due to the warm weather,” Hoffman said. The warm weather blanketed most of western and southwestern Alaska and stretched to nearly every corner of the state, the National Weather Service Alaska said. Some Alaska communities hit climate records that were

held for 70 years or more, said Rick Thoman, climate sciences and services manager for the Weather Service in Alaska. “It’s quite unusual, and it’s also quite a large area,” Thoman said. “We also have a number of places — Anchorage, Barrow, St. Paul — that also made it into the top three warmest years.”

Governors’ inaugurals fueled by political donors By PAUL J. WEBER Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas — When it comes to parties, ringing in the new year has nothing on the swearing-in soirees for governors across the country. In Texas, organizers are hoping to raise $4 million to celebrate the incoming governor and are planning a concert headlined by Lady Antebellum, a parade through the state capital and a barbecue with four tons of brisket. Supporters of re-elected Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker are scheduling a series of events that include a “black tie optional” gala funded in part through sponsorship packages costing up to $30,000 each. Inaugural activities celebrating the newly elected Democratic governor in Pennsylvania will cost donors up to $50,000 apiece and include an evening “Let’s Get Started” bash, with “celebratory attire” recommended. Eleven new governors are taking office this month, and nearly two dozen others are renewing their oaths for second, third or — in the case of Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad — sixth terms. Many will celebrate with

chart-topping bands and blowout balls, with much of the bill footed by the same supporters who bankrolled their victorious campaigns. In many states, corporate money that was banned before Election Day is allowed to cover the tab for inaugural parties. Critics see the events as another means for corporations and wealthy individuals to curry political favor with the state’s highest office, and in many cases without the transparency required by usual campaign finance laws. “It’s all part of the system of cronyism,” said Craig McDonald, executive director of the leftleaning watchdog group Texans for Public Justice. “It’s more unsettling than campaigns because the rules are much looser. It allows corporations and others to spend more money.” Not all governors are tossing fancy parties. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, began his second term with a simple swearing-in and speech at One World Trade Center. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican who will take office with his state facing a $1.5

billion budget shortfall, also is going low-key, with a modest reception at the Capitol. Other governors are making the most of the occasion and, in the process, soliciting donations from the types of people and business entities that typically seek to influence legislation and state regulations. Organizers behind the celebrations for Texas Gov.-elect Greg Abbott, a Republican, are trying to raise $4 million, a record amount for a gubernatorial inauguration in the state. Leading up to the finale by country superstar group Lady Antebellum is a downtown parade and the same barbecue specialists that catered both of George W. Bush’s presidential inaugurations. Owners of the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Texans, as well as Walmart heiress Alice Walton, are among those steering Abbott’s inaugural committee. They also gave to his campaign. Like most states, Texas does not require public disclosure of the contributors to inaugural festivities. Financial limits that keep big money in check during campaigns typically do not apply.

In states where donors are disclosed, either because of state reporting requirements or voluntary releases by the governor, corporations are shown to play a major role. Blue Cross Blue Shield and shoe maker New Balance each have given $25,000 toward the inaugural celebration of Massachusetts Gov.-elect Charlie Baker, a Republican. The inaugural committee established for another Republican, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, took contributions ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each from such companies as Duke Energy, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Altria, the nation’s largest cigarette maker, for her 2011 swearing-in festivities. Her campaign manager, Tim Pearson, says Haley’s supporters are seeking donations in the same range for events surrounding this year’s inauguration on Jan. 14. In Florida, where re-elected Gov. Rick Scott scaled back from the inauguration festivities he held four years ago, the committee overseeing his inaugural activities this time is still raising nearly $800,000. That includes

$100,000 from the Florida Insurance Council and others with interests before the state. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, celebrated her inauguration on New Year’s Day with a ball headlined by country music group Lonestar. Danny Diaz, a Martinez campaign spokesman, said the ball was being funded entirely by private donations and that the amounts would be disclosed later. Many inaugural fundraising committees ultimately make at least some financial information public, even if it’s incomplete. Aides to Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said he planned to disclose the donors to his swearing-in activities. His inauguration includes a concert from country star Alan Jackson and Atlanta-based Coca Cola producing a special bottle. Deal, a Republican, was criticized in 2011 for not detailing how his inaugural money was spent, but he did disclose donor names afterward. AT&T and Cigna, a health insurer, were among those making contributions. He and other governors throwing big parties reject suggestions of influence-buying

and say private donors are buying nothing more than a good time for everyone. “This privately-funded gala celebration is a way to thank Georgians in every corner of their state for their support of the governor and the rest of our statewide elected officials,” Deal spokeswoman Jennifer Talaber said. Washington is among the few states that have taken steps to curb the potential for influence-buying in inaugural celebrations. Its inaugural balls are planned by a non-partisan committee of citizen volunteers, with all costs covered by the price of admission. Corporate sponsors such as Microsoft or Bank of America sometimes pay for their own receptions beforehand for VIP-attendees, said Dan Neuhauser, president of the Governor’s Inaugural Ball Committee. “We don’t take any money from political groups,” he said. “Everybody can come together without having a cause on their shoulder. They can just have a good time.”

Congress requests scrutiny on non-compete deals By RAY HENRY Associated Press

ATLANTA — Fast food worker Caitlin Turowski had this much in common with high-paid CEOs: When she quit her job, she couldn’t work for a competitor. Hired as a delivery driver for sandwich maker Jimmy John’s and later made an assistant manager, Turowski said she signed a two-year non-competition agreement banning her from working for sandwich-making rivals within three miles of a Jimmy John’s store. Burned out by long hours and low pay, Turowski quit in July, then took a pay cut to work in insurance telemarketing. She could earn more waitressing or bartending, but fears being sued. “We’re struggling,” said Tur-

owski, now a plaintiff challenging alleged wage violations and the non-compete agreement. Non-competition agreements are better known in contracts for senior executives who have business secrets of interest to competitors. However, court records show the restrictions have also snared maids in Chicago, a nail stylist in Texas, cable TV installers in Michigan and agricultural workers in Washington. In October, Democrats in Congress asked the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and Department of Labor to investigate. The agreements for lowwage workers might trap them in their current jobs, allowing their employers to pay them lower salaries, experts said. “It has a chilling effect on people actually going out and trying

to seek jobs because they fear getting sued,” said Kathleen Chavez, an attorney for Turowski and others. “This is not like a high-wage, skilled worker who says, ‘OK, let them sue me. I’ll defend myself.’” Employers might seek noncompetition agreements because they fear losing money training a worker who quits or who brings business secrets to a rival. “You certainly wouldn’t want anyone to know in the competitive landscape what’s around the corner,” Home Depot spokesman Stephen Holmes said. The retailer signs non-competes with senior executives. Researchers say there’s evidence non-competes limit pay for executives, and the same trend could hold for the rank-and-file. “If you can’t leave, you don’t have leverage,” said Matthew

Marx, a professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management. States differ on enforcement. Almost three dozen states allow judges to rewrite defective noncompetition agreements, according to Russell Beck, a corporate law attorney who conducts national reviews. In a few states, he said, judges can strike problematic restrictions but keep the rest of the deal. Just under halfa-dozen states require that judges completely toss non-compete agreements if any part of it is legally flawed. Three states ban the

agreements. It’s unclear how many workers are subject to the deals. “The idea that they’re only for high-skilled workers is only wishful thinking,” said Evan Starr, a labor economist at the University of Illinois. He’s started analyzing results from a survey asking more than 11,500 people across the workforce about noncompetition agreements. “Workers just sign them — they don’t even think twice about it.” Jimmy John’s employees

cannot work for any employer that gets more than 10 percent of its revenue from selling sandwiches within three miles of a Jimmy John’s shop, according to a version of the agreement filed in court. Jimmy John’s officials did not return messages seeking comment, and it’s unclear whether the company has enforced the non-competes. Turowski said she once overheard a Jimmy John’s manager phone another store to warn against hiring an ex-employee from her location.

GOP focus for Congress: Cut deficit, don’t stumble By ALAN FRAM Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In the first Republican-dominated Congress to confront President Barack Obama, GOP leaders will focus on bolstering the economy and cutting the budget — and oh yes, avoiding self-inflicted calamities that make voters wonder if the party can govern competently. When the new Congress raises the curtain Tuesday, Republicans will run both the House and Senate for the first time in eight years. GOP leaders want to showcase their legislative priorities, mixing accomplishments with showdowns with Obama but shunning government shutdowns and other chaotic standoffs. Another priority is minimizing distractions like the recent admission by No. 3 House leader Steve Scalise, R-La., that he addressed a white supremacist group in 2002. “Serious adults are in charge here and we intend to make progress,” incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told The Associated Press recently. McConnell says the Senate’s first bill would force construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which Republicans call a job creator but Obama and many Democrats say threatens the environment. The House leads off with

legislation letting small companies sidestep some requirements of Obama’s prized health care overhaul by hiring veterans, followed by other measures weakening that law and pushing the Keystone pipeline. Other bills likely early would block Obama’s executive actions on immigration and ease environmental and business regulations that the GOP contends stifles job growth. Additional bills would cut spending, squeeze Medicare and other benefit programs, revamp tax laws, finance highway construction and speed congressional approval of trade treaties. “We’re focused on job creation,” said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and running “a more efficient, effective, accountable government.” Democrats say the GOP’s goal is cutting taxes on the rich while crippling Obama’s accomplishments, including expanded health coverage and restrictions on financial institutions. “In the minority, your role is to play defense and stop the worst from happening,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat. Republicans captured Senate control in November’s midterm elections, adding nine seats for a 54-46 advantage that includes two Democratic-leaning

independents. A 13-seat gain swelled their House majority to a commanding 246-188 with one vacancy, the result of New York Republican Michael Grimm’s planned resignation following his guilty plea on a tax evasion charge. With McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, jointly mapping an agenda and scheduling long congressional work periods, goals and potential pitfalls include: ___

Distractions and the calendar

GOP leaders still face tea party lawmakers. Their recalcitrance helped produce stalemates with Obama that excited conservative Republican voters but appalled others, causing GOP approval to plummet. Top Republicans want to ensure that Scalise’s 2002 speech, for which he has apologized, doesn’t hurt their efforts to appeal to more diverse voters. Another complication: By autumn 2015, the developing presidential race could distract voters from congressional Republicans’ messaging. “We want things arriving at the president’s desk, and a lot of those things happening sooner rather than later,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla. “It’s not helpful to us if we drag into spring or summer and the stories are, ‘It’s a do-nothing Con-

gress’ or a confrontation.” ___

Enough republicans? McConnell will often need at least six Democrats for the 60 Senate votes required to overcome filibusters, procedural delays aimed at scuttling bills. Republicans will need two-thirds majorities in each chamber, impossible without Democratic support, to override Obama vetoes that await bills threatening his health care law and his actions easing immigration rules. McConnell says at an upcoming House-Senate Republican retreat, he will warn, “Don’t get your expectations so high that you’re inevitably going to be disappointed.” ___

Immigration

Funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which enforces immigration laws, runs through late February. House Republicans plan to quickly vote to finance that agency through September but are still discussing how to use that bill to block Obama’s executive actions deferring deportation for millions of immigrants in the United States illegally. That measure’s Senate fate and GOP strategy for an Obama veto remain unclear.

Republicans rule out a sweeping immigration overhaul like the Senate-passed, bipartisan 2013 measure. They plan narrower bills that could attract Democrats, bolstering border security and easing immigration restrictions on highly skilled and farm workers. ___

tax laws but progress is uncertain. They want to lower rates for corporations and for businesses whose owners pay individual taxes, with lost revenue recovered by eliminating unspecified tax breaks. Democrats want the exercise to raise fresh revenue, partly to boost dwindling highway funds. ___

Health care

Also planned

Republicans are itching to vote to repeal Obama’s 2010 health care law, knowing that would never get his signature. They’re preparing measures repealing the medical device tax and ending the requirement that people buy medical coverage. They would also exempt companies from providing coverage to employees who work under 40 hours weekly, up from the current 30 hours. ___

Price wants to use legislation preventing a federal default, around summer, to pressure Obama to cut spending, calling such bills “pinch points to get good policy.” McConnell said with GOP congressional control, a default showdown is unneeded because of other opportunities, such as must-pass spending bills, that the GOP can use to constrain agencies. Republicans want to send Obama measures that the GOPled House passed the past two years but died in the Democratic-run Senate. These include bills blocking Environmental Protection Agency curbs on pollution and easing business regulations. The GOP calls these measures job creators; Democrats call them favors for special interests. Republicans also want to consider legislation blocking Obama’s normalized relations with Cuba, penalizing Iran and authorizing force against Islamic State militants.

Budget and taxes

The new House Budget Committee chairman, Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., expects his chamber to approve a budget similar to blueprints written by former chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., ending deficits in a decade, trimming spending and overhauling benefits like Medicare. Senate Republicans want belt-tightening, but McConnell didn’t promise a balanced budget in 10 years. Republicans want to rewrite

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo attends slain cop’s wake By MIKE BALSAMO Associated Press

NEW YORK — Hundreds of police officers from across the country streamed into the wake of a slain New York City officer on Saturday, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo said his late father would have wanted him there after “really pointless” killings. The uniformed police officers showed respect rather than disdain for Mayor Bill de Blasio when he arrived with Police Commissioner William Bratton, with some saluting as the men entered at the start of the daylong event for Officer Wenjian Liu. “This is a really tragic story,” said Cuomo, who attended the wake two days after the death of his father — former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo. He noted that Liu and his wife were newlyweds who had just moved into a home months into their marriage. “She’s now a widow,” he

said. “This is really pointless. It had nothing to do with them. They did nothing wrong. It wasn’t about them. It was pure and random hatred.” Cuomo also expressed his own sorrow. “Today is not the day for my dad, but I can say I miss him already. There’s a hole in my heart,” he said. Liu was shot to death in his patrol car two weeks ago along with Officer Rafael Ramos, whose funeral was last week. Their killer committed suicide soon after the shooting. For de Blasio, the gesture of respect during the wake contrasted with the back-turning insults hundreds of officers displayed last week toward video screens showing the mayor speaking at Ramos’ funeral. Bratton had urged rank-and-file officers to refrain from making political statements at Liu’s wake and funeral. “A hero’s funeral is about

grieving, not grievance,” Bratton said in a memo read to all commands at roll calls Friday and Saturday. “I issue no mandates, and I make no threats of discipline, but I remind you that when you don the uniform of this department, you are bound by the tradition, honor and decency that go with it.” Police union officials, who are negotiating a contract with the city, had accused de Blasio of helping foster an anti-police atmosphere by supporting demonstrations following the chokehold death of an unarmed black man on Staten Island who resisted arrest. The back-turning at Ramos’ funeral mimicked what some police union officials did outside a hospital when the officers were killed two weeks ago.

Liu and Ramos were ambushed in their patrol car on a Brooklyn street by Ismaaiyl Brinsley. Brinsley had made references online to the killings of unarmed black men at the hands of white police officers, vowing to put “wings on pigs.” Investigators say Brinsley was an emotionally disturbed loner who started off his rampage by shooting and wounding an ex-girlfriend in Baltimore. The police killings ramped up emotions in the alreadytense national debate over police conduct. Since Ramos and Liu were killed, police in New York have investigated at least 70 threats made against officers, and more than a dozen people have been arrested. Liu’s funeral was scheduled for Sunday with a Chinese cere-

mony led by Buddhist monks to be followed by a traditional police ceremony with eulogies led by a chaplain. Burial will follow at Cypress Hills Cemetery. The 32-year-old officer had

been on the police force for seven years. Liu’s funeral arrangements were delayed so relatives from China could travel to New York.

Witnesses: Sequence of errors led to Shanghai stampede By DIDI TANG Associated Press

SHANGHAI — On New Year’s Eve of 2013, Shanghai authorities sent about 6,000 city police officers and requested help from military police to manage a 300,000-strong crowd that filled the city’s famed riverfront for the annual midnight light show. According to state media, police choked off access to an elevated viewing platform reachable through staircases and closed the nearest subway station to rein in the crowd. On Wednesday night, just as many revelers showed up to ring in 2015, but the venue was guarded by only 700 police officers with no traffic control, state media reported. People were free to walk up and down the staircases, and the closest subway station was left open. The city had already canceled the light show on the Bund, as the riverfront area is known, and apparently downgraded police deployment and crowd control measures. When the authorities became alarmed by the huge crowd, they called in another 500 police officers — but by then it was too late. Three dozen people ended up trampled or asphyxiated to death in a stampede at the bottom of a 17-step, 5-meter-wide (16-foot-wide) concrete staircase, shocking a city proud of its professional urban management and a country eager to show off its most cosmopolitan city. While investigations con-

Li Juan holds back tears as she recall the night her sister Li Na was killed in a deadly stampede in Shanghai, China, Friday, Jan. 2, 2015. Shanghai is known for a better-oiled municipal government than most other Chinese cities, with its leaders supposedly savvier in managing traffic and crowds. But the latest incident has exposed gaping vulnerabilities in the city’s preparedness and emergency response system.

tinue into the New Year’s Eve tragedy, eyewitness accounts and state media reports point to a sequence of miscalculations by city officials that helped create the out-of-control conditions leading to the stampede. “You canceled the light show, but did you properly notify the public?” asked a father who lost his daughter in the stampede but declined to give his name for fear of offending the authorities. “Once people started to show up in the hun-

dreds of thousands, did you have backup measures to ensure safety? What were you doing during the time the crowds were growing?” “The government has been seriously derelict of its duties,” he said sternly. A landmark and top attraction of this financial hub, the Bund has been a high priority for local authorities, but the lack of police deployment on Wednesday shows an oversight by Shanghai’s government, said

Zhao Chu, a local resident and an independent commentator. “It’s been a tradition to see the lights on the Bund on New Year’s Eve. Shanghai people know it, and the whole country knows it,” Zhao said. “The government should have foreseen the crowds on that night. Such incidents could have been avoided.” Liu Tiemin, a researcher at the China Academy of Safety Science and Technology, told China’s official Xinhua News Agency that managing such a

huge crowd requires splitting the mass into smaller, less chaotic groups, and making sure crowds move in one direction through the space. Neither strategy was followed in Shanghai, Liu said. The next day, authorities flooded the Bund and an adjacent commercial road with thousands of police and military personnel to control traffic. “The stampede would not have occurred if they had been here last night,” a street vendor said, gesturing toward the uniformed police. For three New Year’s Eves in a row, Shanghai hosted the spectacular midnight show on the Bund, but authorities canceled it this year because of worries about overcrowding. China’s major cities were already on edge after a series of knife, bombing and vehicular attacks blamed on terrorists left hundreds of people dead. Instead, authorities opted for a smaller light show to be held at a nearby 2,000-person venue that required admission tickets. Local media in Shanghai reported on the plans for the scaled-down light show several days before the event, but did not give many details, according to the financial news magazine Caixin. Meanwhile, the media continued to hype a light show, the magazine said. The new venue also has a similar name to the Bund, which may have added to the public confusion. Authorities say investigations into the tragedy are ongoing, but patrol officers have

confirmed that the city downgraded police deployment on the Bund on Wednesday night. “Because there was no scheduled event, there was no traffic control,” patrol officer Wang Qiang told state media, adding that tourists kept asking him if there would be a light show. Starting at around 8 p.m. Wednesday, revelers began showing up on the lightly patrolled riverfront. At around 11:20 p.m., as huge crowds gathered, authorities reminded them that the annual light show on the riverfront had been canceled. Ten minutes later, surveillance video showed a massive jam of people on the steps at the end of a public square featuring a statue of the city’s first Communist mayor, Chen Yi. Those steps lead to the best vantage point to view the Huangpu River and the skyscrapers across the water. Authorities responded by dispatching 500 more police, but at around 11:35 p.m., people fell row by row on the steps under the crush of the crowd, which was trying to move both up and down the steps, survivors and eyewitnesses said. “It was unstoppable. The force from above fell on us,” recalled Zhao Weiwei, a survivor whose girlfriend, Pan Haiqin, died in the stampede. “There might have been two to three security people. That was virtually none.” Yu Ping, another survivor, said: “There was no security. Not at all.”

Political revolt roils Sri Lanka presidential vote By KRISHAN FRANCIS Associated Press

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Until just a few weeks ago, Sri Lanka’s upcoming election seemed a mere formality. Nothing, it seemed, could keep President Mahinda Rajapaksa from rolling to a third term in office. He was the president hailed as a king after crushing the Tamil Tiger rebels in 2009 and ending the island nation’s 25-year civil war. He is a charismatic campaigner with vast campaign funds. He has turned the government into an extended family business, with politically powerful brothers, sons and nephews who can all help his candidacy. But times change. Quickly. An internal revolt now threatens Rajapaksa’s hold on power. Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena, a close Rajapaksa aide and No. 2 in the president’s Freedom Party, defected in a secretly choreographed news conference in late November, announcing he would run as an opposition candidate in Thursday’s election. Power, he said, has become too concentrated, and corrup-

tion epidemic. “One family has captured the country’s economy, wealth, administration, and the management of the political party,” Sirisena told reporters. He says at campaign rallies that Rajapaksa began to believe the public support after the end of the war and “perhaps he thought he could become a real king.” A confident Rajapaksa had called the election two years ahead of schedule, hoping to win a third six-year term before voters’ memories faded of the defeat of the Tigers. The next day, though, Sirisena — who had publicly called for Rajapaksa to run again — made his own surprise announcement. That set off a wave of political turmoil and energized a long-dispirited opposition that had not been looking forward to the election. Jumping between parties and backroom deals are part of the political landscape in Sri Lanka, but this has surpassed the normal with 21 lawmakers and ministers fleeing the government so far to back Sirisena. He has won support from the opposition United National Party, the main ethnic minority par-

ties, many professional groups and some powerful Buddhist monks. Rajapaksa’s government has come under heavy criticism for turning a blind eye to recent anti-Muslim violence, and the largest Muslim party has also defected. But while it is Rajapaksa’s biggest electoral challenge since he came to power in 2005, he still has immense advantages, from popularity among the majority Sinhala ethnic group — which makes up more than 70 percent of Sri Lanka’s 21 million people — to control of state media. Plus, the economy has been growing since the end of the civil war, although there are complaints that it has not reached the grassroots. “The president may be down from where he was, but he is certainly not out,” said Jehan Perera, a political analyst with the National Peace Council. Rajapaksa denies all accusations of corruption, and insists he will again win on Jan. 8. “I am not worried. I will be the president even after the 9th,” he has repeated in campaign speeches around the Indian Ocean nation. While there is no reliable poll-

ing, cracks have appeared in his core constituency — the Buddhist Sinhala majority — amid repeated accusations of amassing excessive power and corruption. Sirisena has accused the Rajapaksas of amassing wealth from their pet highway projects and implied they were receiving benefits from tobacco and pharmaceutical companies in return for arranging favorable laws. The president’s relatives, meanwhile, are everywhere. One brother is Cabinet minister for economic development, another is the speaker of Parliament and a third is the defense secretary, with control over the armed forces. His older son is a member of Parliament and a nephew is a provincial chief minister. That left few powerful jobs and fewer resources from the national budget for non-Rajapaksas in the party, alienating many senior politicians who felt shunted aside. Until Sirisena’s revolt, Rajapaksa appeared set for a political walkover, with the opposition struggling to find an appealing candidate. Rajapaksa even joked that he was shadow boxing without a viable opponent.

Israel withholds Palestinian tax revenues after ICC move By IAN DEITCH Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Israel halted transfers of the tax revenue it collects on behalf of the Palestinians in retaliation for their move to join the International Criminal Court in the Hague, Israeli media reported Saturday. The Palestinians announced earlier this week that they are joining the International Criminal Court in the Hague to pursue war-crimes charges against Israel. The move is meant to pressure Israel into withdrawing from the territories that Palestinians demand for a future state. It’s a risky strategy for the Palestinians because it means they themselves could be accused of war crimes over rocket attacks by the Islamic militant group Hamas on Israeli residen-

tial centers and other Palestinian violence against Jewish targets. The move drew threats of retaliation from Israel and criticism from the U.S. government, which called it “counterproductive.” The daily newspaper Haaretz reported Saturday that Israel decided to withhold the taxes it collects for the Palestinians under the current interim peace accords and transfers each month to the Palestinian Authority. December’s tax transfer is about $127 million, according to Haaretz. An Israeli government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media, confirmed the substance of the reports but refused to elaborate. Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat lashed out at the Israeli maneuver, calling it

an act of “piracy” and a “collective punishment” against the Palestinian people. “If Israel thinks that through economic pressure it will succeed in diverting our approach from freedom and independence, then it is wrong,” Erekat told The Associated Press. “This is the money of the Palestinian people and Israel is not a donor country.” Israel has stopped tax transfers before but such freezes have been short-lived. Withholding the funds is just one of several actions Israel could take against the Palestinians, including expanding West Bank settlement construction and curbing certain privileges. Israel’s Channel 2 news reported on Saturday night that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would convene his Cabinet in

the coming days to discuss further retaliatory steps. The U.S. government has not said how it will react, but it provides hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinians. Turning to the international court at the Hague marks a major policy shift, transforming Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ relations with Israel from tense to openly hostile. Abbas has been under heavy domestic pressure to take stronger action against Israel amid months of rising tensions over the collapse of U.S.-brokered peace talks last spring, a 50-day war between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza over the summer, a recent spate of deadly Palestinian attacks on Israelis, and unrest over access to a key holy site in Jerusalem.

Iran, 6 powers move closer to nuclear talks deal By GEORGE JAHN Associated Press

VIENNA — Iran and the U.S. have tentatively agreed on a formula that Washington hopes will reduce Tehran’s ability to make nuclear arms by committing it to ship to Russia much of the material needed for such weapons, diplomats say. In another sign of progress, the two diplomats told The Associated Press that negotiators at the December round of nuclear talks drew up for the first time a catalog outlining areas of potential accord and differing approaches to remaining disputes. The diplomats said differences still dominate ahead of the next round of Iran-six power talks on Jan. 15 in Geneva. But they suggested that even agreement to create a to-do list would have been difficult previously because of wide gaps between the sides. The diplomats, who are familiar with the talks, spoke to the AP recently and demanded anonymity because they weren’t authorized to comment on the closed negotiations. On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham denied any tentative formula had been reached. Iran denies it wants nuclear arms, but it is negotiating with the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany on cuts to its atomic program in hope of ending crippling sanctions. The talks have been extended twice due to stubborn disagreements. The main conflict is over uranium enrichment, which can create both reactor fuel

and the fissile core of nuclear arms. In seeking to reduce Iran’s bomb-making ability, the U.S. has proposed that Tehran export much of its stockpile of enriched uranium — something the Islamic Republic has long said it would not do. The diplomats said both sides in the talks are still arguing about how much of an enriched uranium stockpile to leave Iran. It now has enough for several bombs, and Washington wants substantial cuts below that level. But the diplomats said the newly created catalog lists shipping out much of the material as tentatively agreed upon. Issues that still need agreement, they said, include the size of Iran’s future enrichment output. The U.S. insists that it be cut in half, leaving Tehran with about 4,500 present day centrifuges used to enrich uranium, or less if it replaces them with advanced models. Tehran is ready for a reduction of only around 20 percent, or approximately 8,000 of the machines, according to the diplomats. Two other unresolved issues are Iran’s Fordo underground enrichment site and the nearly built Arak nuclear reactor. The U.S. and its five allies in the talks want to repurpose Fordo to a non-enrichment function because it is believed impervious to a military attack from the air. The six also seek to re-engineer Arak from a model that produces enough plutonium for several nuclear weapons a year to a less proliferation-prone model. Negotiators hope to reach a rough deal by March and a final agreement by June 30.

Brown Bears winless streak hits 10 straight

Weekend sweep by Tomahawks leaves Kenai River with 2 points out of possible 20 in last 10 games Staff report Peninsula Clarion

Call it the dog days of winter. The Bears are stuck in hibernation. The Kenai River Brown Bears lost 5-2 Saturday night to the Johnstown (Pennsylvania) Tomahawks at the Cambria County War Memorial ice rink in front of 1,657 fans. Combined with Friday’s 5-3 loss, the game extends the Brown Bears’ losing streak to 10 straight games, the current longest in the league and tied for the longest this season. The drought began Nov. 29. Kenai River (11-21-2) sits last in the North American Hockey League Midwest division with 24 points, two points out of a playoff spot behind the fourth-place Minnesota Magicians. The Fairbanks Ice Dogs (21-11-3) and Coulee Region Chill (20-7-5) sit tied

atop the division with 45 points each, just one ahead of the third-place Minnesota Wilderness. Brown Bears coach Geoff Beauparlant said that in the four games against the Keystone (Pa.) Miners and the Tomahawks since the holiday break ended, the team has not been able to capitalize on scoring opportunities like their opponents. “It still comes down to hard work, it comes down to our guys sticking to the systems for 60 minutes,” Beauparlant said. “We have a tendency to allow a goal against us to affect our psyche, and we need to overcome that.” Brown Bears fans can still take solace in that the current losing streak is not the team’s longest. Kenai River strung together 21 consecutive losses — including playoff games — in the 2008 and 2009 seasons. In the two games against Johnstown,

Kenai River had trouble particularly with Casey Linkenheld and Trevor Recktenwald. Linkenheld scored five goals and an assist in the weekend sweep — including a Friday hat trick — while Recktenwald notched four assists for five total points. “They’re good hockey players,” Beauparlant said. “They’re big time players that showed up and created opportunities.” Joey Sardina opened scoring Saturday for the Bears just 1 minute, 52 seconds into the game, but Johnstown answered quickly. The Tomahawks went on a 5-on3 power play that resulted in a tying goal from Brady Bender, then struck again less than two minutes later to grab a 2-1 lead. Linkenheld converted on a stretch pass that caught the Brown Bears on their heels. “We came out with good positive

energy tonight, and that goal was a huge uplifting moment for our hockey club,” Beauparlant said. “Then we take two stick penalties because of bad angles, and when you take those penalties that’s usually when they score on the power play.” Linkenheld scored on another Johnstown power play midway through the second period to push the lead to 3-1. Johnstown ended the night going 2-for-4 on the power play. Josh Bowes and Recktenwald added goals that extended the lead to 5-1, before Matt Rudin tipped one in with 38 seconds left in the period. Kenai River goalie Alec Derks (47) was credited with his fifth straight loss in the net for the Bears. Derks saved 15 of 20 shots Saturday. The Bears face Fairbanks in a twogame series next Friday and Saturday night at the Big Dipper. Game time is

7:30 p.m. both nights. Tomahawks 5, Brown Bears 3 Trying desperately just to earn points, the Kenai River Brown Bears found trouble Friday night in the form of Casey Linkenwald and Trevor Recktenwald. The Brown Bears suffered a 5-3 loss to the Tomahawks Friday night with Linkenwald and Reckentenwald teaming up on three goals. After scoring the first goal of the night, Linkenheld completed a hat trick with a pair of goals early in the second period. Recktenwald assisted on all three of them. Once again, the Bears were left to dig out of a hole early in the game, as Johnstown scored a trio of goals in the opening period, even though Kenai River outshot the Tomahawks 16-9.

Kenai girls drop games Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Central girls hoops team could not quite catch a break this weekend, dropping a pair of close losses to Northern Lights Conference opponent Kodiak. The Kards lost 28-22 on Friday, then dropped a 33-28 Saturday game to the defending 4A state champions. Defense ruled the weekend, as neither side scored more than 11 points in a single quarter of action. Kodiak (2-0 NLC, 4-1 overall) managed to clinch both games with late free throws. Kenai dropped to 2-4 overall this season, and 0-2 in the NLC. Hannah Drury led the Kards Saturday with five points, while Ali Steinbeck and Abby Beck both added four points each. On Friday, Beck led Kenai in scoring nine points, while Hannah Barcus had five. Ila Hughes led Kodiak with 11 points. Kenai will be off for over a week before facing Seward in an endowment game on Jan. 13, and will play its next conference game Jan. 23 against Colony.

Cordova takes 3 of 4

The Cordova boys swept the Seward Seahawks in 3A hoops action, notching a 69-51 win on Friday and a 63-49 win Saturday. On Friday, Cordova’s Jacob Werner led all players with 28 points on 11 shots. Seward was led by Alex Pahno with 12 points, while Ronnie Jackson and Michael Wolfe had 11 and 10 points, respectively. Pahno had an even bigger day on Saturday, scoring 21 points in the loss, but Werner once again topped that with 32 points. The Seward girls split with Cordova, losing to the Wolverines 31-26 on Friday and winning 4325 Saturday. Jasmine Perea led the Seahawks with 14 points in Friday’s loss, then stepped up with 22 points in Saturday’s win. Saturday

Defense wins for Panthers, Ravens

Big plays on other side of football helps advance teams to division round By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

Never count out the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs. In their sixth trip in seven seasons with John Harbaugh as coach and Joe Flacco at quarterback, the Ravens beat archrival Pittsburgh 30-17 Saturday night in an AFC wild-card game. That sends Baltimore to New England, a place the Ravens twice have won in the postseason, including in the 2012 season when they won the Super Bowl. “We’re definitely familiar with playing up there, but that doesn’t really mean anything,” Flacco said of Gillette Stadium. “They’re

a good football team, and we’re going to have to be on top of everything to go in there and get a victory.” In the NFC game, the Carolina Panthers, the second division winner with a losing record in NFL history, also became the second such team to win a postseason game. Emulating the 2010 Seattle Seahawks, Carolina (8-8-1) got its first playoff victory in nine years by holding Arizona to 78 yards in a 27-16 win. That was the lowest yield in a postseason game. “We know who we are — menacing, stifling and we are going to get after you,” cornerback Josh Norman said. “We know when there is

Gators ride unexpected success to Birmingham Bowl win By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The Florida Gators got big plays from star cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III, quarterback Treon Harris and two of their lesser known teammates. Harris threw an 86-yard scoring pass to mostly unheralded receiver Ahmad Fulwood, and Hargreaves intercepted a pass in the end zone late to preserve Florida’s 28-20 victory over East Carolina on Saturday in the Birmingham Bowl. The big plays helped the Gators (75) finish a disappointing season with a winning record while new coach Jim McElwain was among the spectators. Brian Poole also scored on a 29-yard interception return and Florida’s defense repeatedly turned East Carolina’s high-powered offense away from

the end zone. “Words can’t describe how I feel about these guys as a team,” interim head coach D.J. Durkin said. “I’m so happy for our players to go get that win.” Redshirt freshman running back Adam Lane was chosen the game’s MVP after rushing 16 times for 109 yards and a touchdown with Matt Jones sidelined with a shoulder injury. He had only eight carries coming into the game, all in two lopsided wins. Shane Carden was 34 of 66 for 427 yards for the Pirates (8-5), but Hargreaves’ pick with 1:20 left ended his day. It was a school record for passing attempts and the most thrown against Florida. Harris left late in the third quarter with what Durkin described as an elbow injury and was replaced by former starter Jeff Driskel. Driskel ran for a first down on a third-down play on the final drive to

allow Florida to run out the clock. Durkin took over for the bowl game after Will Muschamp’s firing. East Carolina came in averaging 37.2 points a game, but managed only a field goal in the fourth quarter and couldn’t cash in on a number of flirtations with the end zone. “Coming into this game, people probably didn’t think it would be this close,” Pirates coach Ruffin McNeill said. “We had opportunities that we just didn’t take advantage of.” Justin Hardy finished with 11 catches for 160 yards and Cam Worthy gained 130 yards on eight catches. Carden’s take on the offense: “We ran 101 plays, put up a ton of offensive yards, but we just needed to execute more. We should have had that touchdown, but an interception in the end zone can’t happen.” Florida’s Harris was 5 of 11 for 123 C

yards and two touchdowns, including the play to Fulwood on a screen pass early in the third quarter. It was the Gators’ longest play from scrimmage this season. The game gave young players like Lane and Fulwood hope for more playing time under the new regime. “It just built a bigger fire inside me and made me want to work harder,” Lane said. Fulwood had just 113 yards receiving in the regular season. Driskel had 48 passing yards in what could be his final Florida game. McElwain said before the game Driskel had asked for a release from his scholarship. “It says a lot about him as a person,” Durkin said. “The amount of adversity he’s gone through in his career, I don’t know if I could have made it through that.” Florida’s offense mostly sputtered

without Harris, but the defense delivered. Trying to expand the lead, Driskel led the Gators into East Carolina territory before Josh Hawkins forced a fumble by receiver Chris Thompson. East Carolina drove to Florida’s 27 before getting forced back by a penalty and Dante Fowler Jr.’s third sack of the game in his Gators finale. Fowler has already said he’s skipping his senior season to turn pro. “His celebration dances were not very good,” Durkin joked. “Dante was disruptive in the backfield all day long. For a guy in his situation to go out and do what he did and play how he played ... it’s pretty amazing.” The Gators took over with 4:21 left and went three and out. With two incompletions, Florida burned only 44 seconds off the clock before giving it back to Carden and the Pirates’ highpowered offense at their 42.

Luck, Dalton face similar situation By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck and Andy Dalton have similar achievements listed on their resumes — and similar glaring holes. Each made the Pro Bowl as a rookie. Each has three straight seasons with double-digit wins. Neither has missed the playoffs, and both understand their legacies will be determined by postseason successes and failures. On Sunday, the two young quarterbacks get another chance to fill in some of those gaps when the Colts and Bengals meet in a wild-card round game. “I don’t think just getting to the playoffs has ever been good enough in this building,” Luck said this week. The Colts’ franchise quarterback learned his lesson the hard way. After directing one of the greatest one-season turnarounds in NFL history in 2012, Luck came up short against eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore in the first round of the playoffs. Last year, after engineering the second-biggest comeback in postseason history, Luck spent the offseason pondering how to reduce turnovers. He blamed himself for throwing three interceptions that helped put Indy in a 28-point deficit against Kansas City, and then threw four more picks the next week in a 43-22 loss at New England. Now Luck is eager to prove two-time AFC South champion Indianapolis (11-5) is ready to take another big step. Dalton’s postseason problems are just as obvious. In three playoff games, all losses, he’s thrown one touchdown pass, six interceptions and accumulated a passer rating of 56.2. Another defeat would put Dalton in a tie with Warren Moon for most consecutive opening-round playoff losses by a quarterback. History is not on the Bengals’ side, either. Cincinnati (10-5-1) is 0-6 in road playoff games, has lost seven straight in Indy and hasn’t won in the playoffs since January 1991. If Dalton ends that misery, he might finally silence the critics.

“Winning in general is how quarterbacks are judged,” Dalton said. “If you win a lot in the regular season but you haven’t won a lot in the postseason, then they’re going to say that you couldn’t do something.” Here are some other things to watch Sunday: LIFE WITHOUT A.J.: The Bengals announced Saturday that receiver A.J. Green won’t play because of a concussion. How much of an impact could Green’s absence have? When the four-time Pro Bowler missed the first Colts game with an injured right big toe, the offense went nowhere in a 27-0 loss. The Bengals need Plan B to work out better this time. LINE DANCE: Indy’s offensive line isn’t even close to full strength. Right tackle Gosder Cherilus went on injured reserve earlier this week with groin, hip and shoulder injuries. Right guard Hugh Thornton (shoulder) has been ruled out. A.Q. Shipley, who started at left guard in Week 17, is doubtful with an ankle injury, too. But after using 10 starting combinations this season, coach Chuck Pagano doesn’t expect a drop-off. GIVE IT TO HILL: One major change in Cincinnati’s offense since the last game has been the emergence of rookie running back Jeremy Hill. He had only four carries at Indy. Since then, he’s become the starter and produced four games with at least 140 yards. If he has a big game this weekend, it’ll take a lot of pressure off Dalton. “I think we’re built for the playoffs,” left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “I think we have a defense that can play really well against really good quarterbacks, and an offense that can pound the football and kind of march down the field that way.” CLEAN-UP CREW: The Colts’ biggest problems over the last six weeks have been turnovers (15) and penalties (41), but they got things cleaned up in the regular-season finale at Tennessee. It was the first time Indy played turnover-free since Nov. 3, and drew only four penalties. Replicating that performance could go a long way in determining whether they advance or are one and done.

Devils’ Jagr becomes oldest player to score hat trick By The Associated Press

Linkenheld opened the scoring with a shot nine minutes, 20 seconds in, and was soon joined by Luke Lynch and Cam Bleck. Wasilla product Tanner Schachle scored an equalizer for the Brown Bears midway through the first period, and Ben Campbell sent the puck into the net on a power play opportunity in the second frame. The crucial swing of momentum came in the first period, when Lynch and Bleck scored just 27 seconds apart to break a 1-1 tie and distance the Tomahawks by two goals. With the game essentially locked up, Matt Rudin scored a goal for the Bears with 1:20 remaining, getting help from Campbell and Joseph Kaszupski. Kenai River goalie Evan Hauser (0-1-1) — who was acquired by the Bears on Tuesday — took the loss in net with 13 saves on 18 shots. Hauser was pulled four minutes into the

second period for Alec Derks, who finished up with 10 saved shots and a clean sheet. Bears coach Geoff Beauparlant said Hauser was picked up for his experience and ability to stay composed under pressure. “He’s had to battle through adversity in the lower levels of the sport,” Beauparlant said. Beauparlant said he and Kenai River’s assistant coaches had the chance to watch Hauser play at the NA3HL Showcase event in early December, and were impressed by his play. “He’s confident and poised in the net, and he’s given us a chance to win in all three games he’s played,” Beauparlant said. Hauser started his first game with the Bears Wednesday in a 3-2 shootout loss, saving 24 of 26 shots. Saturday

Something has to give By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tony Romo’s first playoff game in five years is a second chance for the quarterback on the other side, Detroit’s Matthew Stafford. Who knows how many more opportunities there will be for the 34-year-old Romo with the Dallas Cowboys, who have one playoff win since the last time they were anywhere near the Super Bowl nearly 20 years ago. The Lions? They go into Sunday’s wild-card game at Stafford’s hometown team with just one postseason victory in the Super Bowl era after Stafford lost to New Orleans in his only try three years ago. “I feel like I have been in the middle of it right now so

Newton threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns for his first playoff victory, and Jonathan Stewart ran for 123 yards and a touchdown on a rain-soaked afternoon. Carolina won its final four regular-season games to take the NFC South. It now heads to either Seattle or Green Bay, depending on the outcome of the Detroit-Dallas game on Sunday. After a 9-1 start, Arizona’s once promising season was undone by a rash of injuries, including to quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton. Third-stringer Ryan Lindley went 16 for 28 for 82 yards with two interceptions and one TD pass. “You are called upon to win football games and we didn’t do that,” Lindley said. Visiting Arizona (11-6) started a series of laterals on the final play and lost 19 yards, making for the record.

I’m not too worried about it,” said Stafford, who grew up in the Dallas area. “I’m just trying to win every game if I can. You know you have to deal with all that kind of stuff and had some success and some years I’d like to have back, too. It’s an ongoing process.” “Coach Process” — that’s what Jason Garrett is called sometimes because of his affinity for the word — led the Cowboys (12-4) to the NFC East title after three straight 8-8 seasons ended with a loss that kept them out of the playoffs and fueled questions about his job security that are gone now. Romo was the league’s most efficient quarterback with a boost from NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray, who gained 1,845 yards behind a stout offensive line rebuilt through

Detroit (11-5) at Dallas (12-4), Sunday It might be simplifying this matchup too much, but if the NFC East champion Cowboys can run on the stingy wild-card Lions’ defense, it could make all the difference. DeMarco Murray easily led the NFL in rushing with 1,845 yards, nearly 500 more than runner-up Le’Veon Bell. He was the key to Dallas’ dominant, well-balanced attack. But Detroit had the best rushing D in the league, as well as the No. 2 overall unit. “You can’t worry about things like that,” Murray said. “You’ve just got to play ball and try to execute what you do offensively.” Cincinnati (10-5-1) at Indianapolis (11-5), Sunday

three first-round picks in the past four drafts — tackle Tyron Smith, center Travis Frederick and guard Zack Martin. Apparently knowing he had more help, Romo predicted in training camp that his best years were ahead of him despite back surgery that ended his 2013 season a game early. And his message didn’t change after another back injury kept him out of one game this year. “I think more than anything it’s just about playing the right way and being the best version of yourself and figuring out how to create that,” said Romo, who is 1-3 in the playoffs after beating Philadelphia and losing to Minnesota during the 2009 season. “We’ve done a really good job being very efficient and explosive in the pass game and we’ll continue hopefully to do that.” an opening defeat. Marvin Lewis has taken the Bengals to the playoffs in 2005, ‘09, and the last four seasons, with that recent streak with Andy Dalton at quarterback. Lewis can tie Marty Schottenheimer, Jim Mora and Steve Owen for most consecutive playoff losses (six) among coaches in NFL history. Lewis also can tie Mora for most consecutive playoff losses to start a career, and tie Owen for most consecutive playoff losses with one team. Cincinnati also can become the first team in league history to lose opening-round playoff games in four straight seasons. Indy would gladly oblige, and routed Cincinnati 27-0 during the season. “When you’re playing the game, you’re just telling yourself, ‘I’m not ready to go home. I’m not ready to pack my locker. I’m not ready to move into an offseason just yet,’” longtime star receiver Reggie Wayne said. “So you go out there and you give it everything you’ve got. You go out there and you want to make sure you leave no stones unturned.”

Steel Curtain falls hard By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger was helped to his feet and walked slowly to the sideline, trying to clear his head from a hard hit and a night that didn’t go his way. Postseasons don’t usually end at Heinz Field. Not like this. Not to hated Baltimore. Without injured All-Pro back Le’Veon Bell, the Steelers were one-dimensional on offense and didn’t do nearly enough to stop the Ravens, who snapped a three-game playoff losing streak against their bitter rivals with a 30-17 victory Saturday night in the AFC wild-card game. “This is going to sting for a while,” Roethlisberger said. All over Steel City. The Steelers (11-6), who had to settle for field goals instead of touchdowns in the first half, closed within 20-15 in the fourth quarter but gave up 10 straight points. Roethlisberger, forced from the game for a few plays with a neck injury after he was sacked with Pittsburgh down by 15 and desperately driving, threw an interception in the end zone with 2:57 left to seal the Steelers’ fate. Roethlisberger finished 31 of 45 for 334 yards and threw two interceptions. He was sacked five times by the Ravens, who were in his face for four quarters and finally left Pittsburgh

teammates, to the organization, the Rooneys, coaches. It’s frustrating and I wish I could apologize individually to everybody.” Pittsburgh did move the ball in the first half, but two trips inside Baltimore’s 35 were slowed when Roethlisberger was sacked. One of the takedowns came from massive nose tackle Haloti Ngata, who returned Friday from a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performanceenhancing drugs. “You don’t like settling for field goals,” Tomlin said. “We acknowledged at the start of the week that this was a stingy defense. We knew it would be tough sledding.” Despite not scoring TDs, the Steelers were within 10-9 at halftime, but it never felt as if they owned the momentum and when Joe Flacco threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Torrey Smith with 4:13 left in the third, some of the Steelers faithful were ready to throw in their Terrible Towels. Pittsburgh got new life when Ravens running back Justin Forsett fumbled, and Roethlisberger capitalized with a 6-yard TD pass to Martavis Bryant to make it 20-15. However, the Steelers failed on their 2-point attempt, and Baltimore went up 23-15 on Justin Tucker’s 52yard field goal.

Cardinals finally fall short after season of challenge By JENNA FRYER AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Larry Fitzgerald rattled off a list of Arizona teammates who didn’t play in Saturday’s season-ending loss to the Carolina Panthers. Carson Palmer. Darnell Dockett. Andre Ellington. Daryl Washington. Injuries and other issues decimated the Cardinals, who at 9-1 in November had the best record in the NFL but closed a oncepromising season with a 27-16 loss at Carolina on Saturday. Arizona was eliminated from the playoffs with a thud: third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley managed to lead the Cardinals to just 78 yards — an NFL record for fewest yards in a postseason game. “We were decimated by injuries this year,” Fitzgerald said. “But we never made that an excuse. Now looking back ... if you see all the guys we lost, key components of our team.

But coach never allowed us to feel bad about ourselves.” If there was disappointment over Arizona’s unraveling, coach Bruce Arians tried to deflect attention to how much the Cardinals overcame. Quarterback Palmer tore his ACL, then backup Drew Stanton suffered a knee sprain. Dockett blew out his knee in training camp, Washington was suspended by the NFL for the year. The list goes on and on and only got worse as they closed in on the playoffs. The Cardinals lost five of their final seven games. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been prouder of guys that go out and fight every week,” Arians said. When asked if the loss of so many players doomed Arizona’s opportunity to make a deep run into the playoffs, Arians bristled. “No missed opportunity whatsoever, these guys overcame,” he said. “This was a great season.” It ended against a Carolina

team that used a stifling defense to help Cam Newton claim his first playoff victory. The fourth-year quarterback threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns, and Carolina’s defense set an NFL record for fewest yards allowed in a postseason game. It was Carolina’s first playoff win in nine years and Newton’s first playoff victory since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 draft. The Panthers were rough on third-string quarterback Lindley, who was intercepted twice and sacked four times. “You are called upon to win football games and we didn’t do that,” Lindley said. The New York Giants held the previous NFL record for fewest yards in a postseason game, holding Cleveland to 86 yards on Dec. 21, 1958. It appeared the Panthers wouldn’t get the record, but Arizona began lateraling the ball around the field on the final play and lost 19 yards.

College playoffs have got it By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

Midway through the first College Football Playoff, one thing really stands out. Why did it take so long for this to happen? The two semifinal games produced record TV ratings, packed stadiums, plenty of social media chatter and a bit of controversy. There’s no reason to think Oregon and Ohio State won’t give us another thrilling contest to finish off a memorable season when the national championship is decided Jan. 12 at Arlington, Texas. So, in a sport that moves at a glacial pace, let’s go ahead and start talking about how to expand this thing. Eight teams is a must. Sixteen would be even better, though that would probably require more radical changes than anyone is willing to accept at the moment. Until then, the four-team system isn’t too shabby. Oregon wiped out defending national champion Florida State 59-20 in the Rose Bowl, snapping the Seminoles’ 29-game winning streak. Ohio State upset top-seeded Alabama 42-35 in a thrilling Sugar Bowl, heading to the title game behind a quarterback (Cardale Jones) who was a third-stringer back in August. “You get to see the two best teams playing for it all,” Ohio AP Photo/Don Wright State linebacker Darron Lee Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs (55) intercepts a pas by Pittsburgh Steel- said. “I’m glad the playoff sysers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) in the fourth quarter of an NFL wildcard playoff football tem is intact now.” So are we. game, Saturday in Pittsburgh. The Bengals are trying to erase nearly a quarter-century of ugly postseason memories. When they have gotten there (six times) since their last playoff victory after the 1990 season, they have gone home with

victorious following three agonizing playoff losses. Following the game, Roethlisberger slowly dressed at his locker, grimacing as he pulled his shirt over a large wrap around his right hand. The black and gold were black and blue. “Not the outcome we wanted,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “We didn’t make enough critical plays and they did.” With Bell sidelined by a hyperextended right knee, the Steelers only rushed for 68 yards and weren’t able to keep Baltimore’s defense from pinning back its ears and going after Big Ben. Bell’s backups — rookies Josh Harris, Dri Archer and Ben Tate, who was signed earlier in the week and didn’t even have a nameplate over his locker — combined for just 43 yards. Tomlin refused to blame Bell’s absence for a loss that wasn’t even as close as the score would suggest. Bell would have made a difference, no doubt. “We’re not going to let that be the story of this game,” he said. “That’s why you have 53 men on the roster.” Roethlisberger was particularly tough on himself afterward, accepting that he didn’t do enough to prolong Pittsburgh’s season. “Anytime you turn the ball over, it’s frustrating,” he said. “That’s why I wanted to apologize to the fans, to my

With apologies to Big 12 cochampions TCU and Baylor, both of which could certainly make a case for being part of the playoff, there’s little doubt the new system has worked better than even its biggest supporters could’ve predicted. — The television ratings were off the charts, with ESPN reporting the two-largest audiences in cable television history for the semifinals. The Sugar Bowl averaged 28.271 million viewers, while the lesscompetitive Rose Bowl wasn’t far behind with 28.164 million. Look for even bigger numbers from the title game. — The Rose Bowl drew a crowd of more than 91,000, though Florida State had trouble selling its allotment of tickets because it had also played in Pasadena the year before; many Seminoles fans were saving their money for a title game that never materialized. The Sugar Bowl had its largest turnout in eight years (74,682) and an electric atmosphere, with what appeared to be a near-even split between Ohio State and Alabama fans. — The banana-peel fumble by Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was a huge hit on social media, giving his many detractors a chance to poke fun at the quarterback who kept getting in and out of trouble during his time in Tallahassee. Our favorite: the Vine in which Lance Stephenson’s exhale into LeBron James’ ear was edited to make it look as though he was blowing over Winston, whose comical play

resulted in an Oregon touchdown. — The Sugar Bowl was the better game, but the Rose Bowl produced more water cooler topics. Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher was caught on the sideline threatening to bench Winston if he didn’t calm down. Several Oregon players did a tacky rendition of Florida State’s tomahawk chant, substituting the words “no means no” in reference to sexual assault allegations against Winston and leading to a hasty apology. Some coaches expressed worries about the wear-andtear on their players, especially for the two teams that will wind up playing 15 games — nearly the length of an NFL season. But there was ample time for rest leading up to both the semifinals and final, and having an extra round before the championship figures to improve the quality of play in the biggest game of all. Under the old BCS system, you might remember, there was a huge gap between the end of the regular season and the championship game. That led to forgettable contests such as Auburn’s 22-19 victory over Oregon in 2011, the secondlowest scoring game of the season for both teams instead of the expected shootout, two of the nation’s most dynamic offenses clearly thrown off by a 37-day layoff. That shouldn’t be a factor in Arlington, featuring two teams that just combined for 101 points on New Year’s Day.

Will M orrow

Get set, go!

hen sitting down to write my column, I sometimes ask my kids for ideas. It’s only fair — after all, I frequently write about them in this space. So, when I recently asked if the kids could think of anything humorous that had happened recently, my daughter Grace, who turns 12 on Tuesday, immediately chimed in. Actually, I should say that she immediately threw down, because this was her response: “You can write about how I’m faster than you in the pool.” “Is that funny?” I asked. “No — but it’s true,” she said with a giggle that told me she thought it was hysterical. No, I’m glad my daughter has developed self-confidence and strong selfesteem, but those are fighting words. The young may cut their teeth on the bones of their parents, but I’m not ready to be anybody’s chew toy just yet. Truth be told, my daughter is a very good swimmer. She’s been swimming with the local club team for a couple of years, and this is the first season she’s decided to focus on the sport. She’s been in the pool three or four times a week over the past couple of months, and she’s brought home ribbons from the past couple of meets where she’s competed. She can talk the talk, and she can back it up. For my part, I would describe myself as a slightly above average swimmer. I never swam competitively, but I at one time was a certified life guard and taught swim lessons. Sure, it was a long, long time ago, but it counts. I can do all four competitive strokes — some better than others — and I’ve been in the pool once a week with the local masters swim group over the past couple of years. No one is going to mistake me for Michael Phelps. Then again, I can make it from one end of the pool to the other in a respectable amount of time — certainly fast enough to compete with my 11-year-old daughter, right? Clearly, the challenge had been issued. And of course, me being a guy and all, the challenge was accepted. I even let Grace pick the stroke and distance — 50 yards of butterfly — though she was adamant that someone watch to disqualify me right away if I did something illegal. I don’t think she thought I would cheat, but rather that I didn’t have the skill to do the stroke in the technically correct fashion. And the stakes were high — loser was to buy at Dairy Queen. I have to admit, I was a little bit worried. She is pretty fast, and butterfly is a difficult stroke. I have to give Grace credit, she for the most part has the right attitude about tackling challenges head on (except for cleaning her room, but that’s another story). She’s not afraid to jump right in and never seems intimidated. Come race day, which was over Christmas break at the Nikiski pool, I was starting to come up with excuses. For example, I pointed out that I was wearing board shorts, which have a lot of drag, as opposed to a racing suit. Grace quashed that right away, pointing out that she wasn’t wearing a swim cap, so the drag from her long hair made it even. But I must’ve gotten into her head a little when I commented that she looked tired over the last few yards of her 50 butterfly at her last meet, because when we got to the pool, she changed the distance to 25 yards. That played right into my hands, because when it comes to butterfly, my forward momentum pretty much comes to a halt at about the 35-yard mark, and let’s just say that after our shorter than expected race, somebody owes me a Blizzard. (I didn’t beat her by much, though, only a foot or two — she really should’ve stuck with the 50.) She called for a rematch with a 50yard freestyle, and while I finished first, she suggested that she should get the win because I did an open turn while she did a flip turn. As I said, I’m no Michael Phelps. And she actually beat me in a 50-yard breaststroke, though I’m going to claim that because I was swimming in the lane closest to the waterslide, the current messed up my momentum on my turn. So I guess we’re even there, too. In any case, both of my kids are now to the point where I no longer need to “let” them win anymore. Clearly, they are confident enough to tackle just about anything — including me — and they have the grit and determination to try again if they don’t at first succeed. As a parent, I couldn’t be prouder. But as someone who is still has a little bit of that competitive drive, I’m thinking I’d better start training for the 50-butterfly.

Learning for Life Kenai Peninsula 4-H lends helping hand at wood bison roundup Recently the Kenai Peninsula 4-H District was fortunate to receive an invitation to participate in the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center’s (AWCC) Wood Bison Restoration Project pre-release roundup. According to AWCC Director Mike Miller, the North American Wood Bison has been extinct in Alaska for more than 100 years and is currently listed as an endangered species throughout the rest of the United States. For the past 12 years AWCC and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game have been working to reintroduce this majestic animal back into its natural habitat in Alaska. In the coming year at least 100 animals are scheduled to be released near the remote Western-Alaska community of Shagaluk. 4-H volunteers started their day on Dec. 16 with a 6 a.m. drive to AWCC’s Portage-based facility, and then spent 8 hours outside working with nearly 30 other volunteers. 4-H participants served in a variety of roles including squeeze-gate operation, herding, and as veterinary assistants. In order to minimize unnecessary and potentially unhealthy stress to the bison, volunteers were asked to stay out of sight as much as possible and not to make any noise above a whisper for the entire workday. At the conclusion of the roundup all 4-H participants agreed the experience was both fun and educational. For Japanese 4-H Exchange and Nikiski High School student, Kazuya Okamoto this roundup may have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Following last week’s successful collaboration AWCC has proposed expanding partnership with 4-H and is now discussing possible development of a formal 4-H residential educational camp and internship program sometime within the next year or two. For those interested in working with Reindeer, Musk Ox and a variety of other Alaska critters stay tuned for more information as the Kenai Peninsula District 4-H Program makes it available. Other agencies and organizations partnering in last week’s roundup activity included the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Alaska Division of Environmental Health Office of the State Veterinarian, Anchorage Cabela’s store, Challenge Alaska, and Z Architects. For more information you can reach 4-H Agent Jason Floyd at: jfloyd1@alaska.edu.

Blind dog finds new home in Ketchikan By LEILA KHEIRY, KRBD

KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) — When people decide to adopt a pet, they usually want a puppy or a kitten — so it can grow up with the family, and, ideally, the family can enjoy the pet for its entire lifetime. But what happens when a family gives up adult or senior pets, or animals with disabilities? Halo the dog was born blind. She spent much of her 11 years outside and neglected. But, thanks to the Ketchikan Humane Society, its network of caring foster homes and, finally, a new family, she’ll spend her twilight years in loving comfort. Halo is a small, gray poodle-type dog. She was born without eyes, and when her new mom, Karen Owings, talks to her, Halo twists her head — adorably — in response. Owings describes her first encounter with Halo at Groomingdales, a boarding kennel and pet store that also serves as a home-base for the Ketchikan Humane Society. “Halo was there in Gretchen’s office. I didn’t see her at first until Gretchen pointed her out and gave me a little background on her. It kind of tugged at my heartstrings, so I went home and talked to my husband and called Gretchen the next day and applied to adopt her,” Owings said. “And here she is.” “Here” is Owings’ office at Alaska Canopy Adventures, a zipline tour near Herring Cove. She’s not officially supposed to have a dog in the office, so nobody tell her boss.

But, Owings says, it’s just during the off-season, and just until Halo gets comfortable with her new family. “I didn’t want to leave her alone that long,” she said. “Until she gets used to us and comfortable and has a stable life, because I don’t think her history has been too stable. I just wanted to let her know that she’s OK.” Owings mentioned “Gretchen” earlier. That’s Gretchen Moore, who owns Groomingdales and fosters many pets for the Humane Society. Moore was one of Halo’s caregivers when the dog first was rescued. During an interview at the kennel, surrounded by playful toy poodles, she recalls Halo’s condition. “When she first came in, she was very, very frail,” Moore said. “She weighed 4 pounds 3 ounces, and she should have weighed quite a bit more. She was an outside dog, tied up outside, so bringing her in the house, the first few days she did a lot of panting, which is normal when you’re used to being an outside dog and you’re now an inside dog.” But, Moore says, Halo quickly adapted to living indoors, and despite her blindness, figured out how to navigate the house. “She would actually count her steps, and she knew exactly where the master bedroom was,” she said. “She would count her steps and then make her little turn, and into the bedroom she’d go. Kind of like a little pony that would pull her feet all the way up and she’d use those as her white cane.”

Missing the snow and the wonders of it R efuge N otebook A ndy L oranger Editor’s note: Due to a technical issue, the Refuge Notebook was not published in Friday’s Clarion.

hort days and little to no snow — not a pleasant combination for most Alaskans who treasure their winter outdoor recreational pursuits. A recent news story about Anchorage temperatures not dipping below zero degrees Fahrenheit in 2014 was yet another reminder, as if we needed one, that winter has been strangely absent since last December here on the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. Snow has been among the casualties. In addition to supporting our winter pastimes, snow and snow cover in the northern latitudes are of course transformative agents with far-reaching ecological effects. Snow itself provides habitat for some primitive forms of life. This includes surprisingly abundant and diverse communities of algae, bacteria, fungi, diatoms, viruses, rotifers and tardigrades. Snow also accumulates debris and chemicals including plant nutrients and pollutants from the atmosphere. Some, like atmospheric nitrogen, are then released and redistributed across the landscape. For example, snow melt provides an important source of nitrogen in tundra ecosystems. Snow plays a dual role in terms of temperature regulation. Fresh snow has a high albedo, meaning it reflects almost all solar radiation. Snow also acts as a heat sink, removing energy from the atmosphere in the form of heat. This means that the presence of snow cover inhibits soil warming until it melts, preventing biological activity that requires temperatures above freezing. Conversely, snow is an efficient insulator, keeping temperatures in the subnivean environment (“beneath the snow”) stable at close to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Water content, or density, is critical in determining the insulative properties of snow. Wet snow is less dense and provides less insulation. A layer of 6-8 inches of dry snow, comprised of billions of crystals separated by tiny air pockets, provides enough insulation to protect ground-level life from subzero ambient temperatures.

Photo by Kenai National Wildlife Refuge

The morning sun on the last day of 2014 shows the sheen of water and ice on Headquarters Lake, a time of year in which the Kenai Peninsula would normally be blanketed in snow.

Plants covered by snow are protected from drying out in the winter and from erosion of their tissues by ice crystals. The subnivean environment is also very humid, and under thin snow packs in spring, light can penetrate and permit limited photosynthesis for some lichens and evergreen shrubs. Plants experiencing this “greenhouse effect” can begin to grow weeks before their neighbors covered by deeper snow. This combination of moisture and light beneath the snow allows for an important adaptation in a land of short growing seasons. Warmed by radiant heat from the earth, gaps open between the snow and the ground. Many small mammals such as voles and shrews, as well as their predators like ermine, remain active throughout winter in this subnivean space. Resident birds also use subnivean spaces for protection against cold. Redpolls and chickadees often congregate beneath the snow, maintaining precious body heat. Larger birds including ptarmigan and grouse will submerge their bodies in snow to C

insulate themselves. Recent discoveries have shed light on the activity of microbes — vast mats of fungi and bacteria — which thrive in soils beneath insulating layers of snow. Researchers have found that winter is a time of great microbial activity in soils that affects a very delicate balance between release of carbon dioxide through transpiration and nitrogen fixing important to plant growth and carbon storage. The timing of the snowpack — when it comes and goes — is believed critical to this balance. Here’s hoping that 2015 brings with it a return of at least average snowfall here on the Kenai Peninsula! From the entire Refuge staff, best wishes to all of you for a peaceful and joyful holiday season. Andy Loranger is the Refuge Manager of the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

DEAR ABBY: My sister “Diane” lives across the country and is an active alcoholic. I have been sober for 13 years, with the exception of a relapse in 2012. I have an 11-year-old daughter. In addition to the alcoholism, Diane is in an abusive marriage. I have seen it firsthand when I visited her. During each of these visits we have argued, she and her husband have fought, and Diana has drunk heavily. I have decided to not expose my daughter to my sister’s drama. It was sad and stressful for me when I witnessed it. Diana is hurt and now refuses to speak to me. Did I make the right decision? — SAFE & SOBER IN OAKLAND DEAR SAFE & SOBER: I’m sorry your sister is hurt, but as a parent, it’s up to you

to decide what you want your impressionable daughter to see. That you don’t want her to be exposed to your alcohol-addled sister interacting with her abusive husband seems like a sensible choice to me. Yes, you made the right decision, and you should stick with it.

Divorcee’s dating plan hits snag right out of the gate DEAR ABBY: After a year of separation and divorce, I have decided to dip into the online dating world at 45. My plan was to carefully select three to five men over the next few months and just date, without diving into a relationship or into bed. To my surprise, the first man I met, “Darren,” is a great guy. He treats me wonderfully, is respectful, makes me laugh, and I love spending time with him. Now I’m no longer interested in meeting anyone else. But I am forcing myself to stick to “the plan.” Darren is aware of this. He respects my decision, but says he’ll convince me to choose him. Am I making a mistake by continuing to date others? I have real feelings for Darren and feel awkward about continuing with my plan. I think I should guard my heart. Perhaps dating others will help me take things more slowly. Any thoughts? — CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC DEAR OPTIMISTIC: If you hadn’t met someone as compatible as Darren, I would say full speed ahead with your plan. But if you feel awkward going out with others, then you shouldn’t be doing it. This is not to say you should rush into anything with Darren. It takes time to really get to know someone. Take the time because in the early months of a relationship, both parties are in the “selling” phase. You can always decide to go back to Plan A.

Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: I recently started dating a woman I have been friends with for a few years. She’s smart, funny, has many wonderful qualities, and I’m starting to fall in love with her. She’s attractive — except for one thing that could easily be fixed. I don’t know if I’m being shallow, so if that’s the case, please tell me. She has a bit of a mustache. Is there a way I can tactfully ask her to remove it without hurting her feelings? Or should I just be grateful I found someone who wants to be with me and keep quiet? — TACTFULLY CHALLENGED DEAR CHALLENGED: If you and this lady have been friends for years, you should know each other well enough to level with each other. Because the mustache is “distracting,” ask her why she has never done anything about it. However, if she opts to keep it, you’ll have to love her just as she is. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

“Hey, keep it quiet! Can’t you see I’m talking here!” I’ve noticed a lot of these lane drifters lately. On a left turn I take every morning, I seem to be the only driver who stays in the right lane all the way through the turn instead of cutting corners into the left. It just makes safety sense to me, but not to all those other guys, I guess. Some new cars offer safety devices that warn drivers when they stray from their lane. These cars avoid the roads I travel, apparently. More likely, no matter how safe the car, you just can’t protect some people from themselves. Happy New Year! And happy trails! I hope we both drive safely into 2015. Reach Glynn Moore at glynn.moore@ augustachronicle.com.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Capricorn and a Moon in Cancer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015: This year you are able to see both sides of an argument, yet you won’t always know which one is right. You could be testing out different ideas and approaches. Communication can be difficult, and you often tend to be off in some other mental realm rather than in the present. If you are single, a relationship could be very intense at the beginning. You will learn how to accept others rather than criticize and want to change them. If you are attached, you might have difficulty being more loving and accepting. CANCER cares about security as much as you do. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might be heading into a conflicting day where you feel pulled in many different directions. As a result, you’re likely to blow off plans and do what you want. You might escape the immediate tension, but once you return, the stress will, too. Tonight: Go to bed early. This Week: Unusual and unique energy surrounds meetings and friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might want to communicate your bottom line and have a discussion that you have been putting off. Know that the high emotional frequency that you seem to be on is normal for a Full Moon. Still, you might want to lower the intensity. Tonight: Your choice. This Week: Someone else you look up to could be acting quite odd. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You seem to be enjoying yourself a little too much! As your mood becomes more somber, you could become a bit excessive and overdo it. Observe a tendency to be somewhat possessive. Chill out rather than cause yourself a problem. Tonight: Treat a loved one to dinner. This Week: You might find that your mind is miles away. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might think that you are more in control of a situation than you really are. The Full Moon could wreak havoc where one would never think it could. Be sensitive, make good choices and enjoy your Sunday. Tonight: A loved one could be challenging. This Week: You easily could overspend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your instincts will guide you through a chaotic and difficult situation. You could decide to back out of a situation or stay mum, rather than cause yourself a problem. Take some time to visit a friend who seems to be pulling away. Tonight: Reassess your plans. This Week: You tend to bring out others’ feistiness. Be C

careful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Bring friends together for a fun happening. A loved one might surprise you with his or her reaction. Just listen carefully to what he or she is saying, and take your time in responding. Friends could push to get your attention. Tonight: Hopefully you can juggle everything! This Week: You’ll discover that your daily patterns are changing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH No matter which way you turn, you seem to encounter a problem. You might want to maintain your distance yet remain smiling. No matter whom you deal with or what situation you are in, you’ll be able to bypass any tension. Tonight: Choose to be by yourself. This Week: Romance is high on your list. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might enjoy weathering today’s Full Moon. A hefty amount of messages, calls and emails will need to be sifted through. You will be able to relate to those who want some stability around them. You see much more of what is happening than others do. Tonight: Call it a night. This Week: Your personal life could point to a change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Use extreme caution with matters pertaining to your finances. You might be overwhelmed by everything that is going on, and you easily could make a mistake. Be wise and don’t make any formal agreements right now. Tonight: Favorite haunt, favorite person. This Week: Count on some awkwardness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be more demanding than you realize. The Full Moon might be taking an emotional toll on you. Those you deal with might be out of step as well. You could head home early or go see a movie, where no one can talk! Tonight: The less said, the better. This Week: Let go of having to be right. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could wake up this morning and opt for a whole new set of plans. Some of the high energy of yesterday seems to have dissolved. You might opt to stay closer to home or follow through on a project. In any case, spend some downtime alone. Tonight: Have a leisurely dinner. This Week: Venus and Mercury drop into your sign. Anything can happen now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHHYou might be focused on a get-together with friends. A loved one could be set on spending some time with you now. You will need to juggle all these different demands if you want to keep the peace. Perhaps you have been too elusive as of late. Tonight: So many offers. This Week: Zero in on your goals.

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

Kevin Harvick

The 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup season featured a new scoring system used to crown the sport’s top driver. Drivers accumulated points over 26 races to advance to the Chase for the Sprint Cup, a 10-race playoff among 16 racers. The key to advancing was clear: Win races. Kevin Harvick won two early races to secure his spot in the season-ending Chase, but checkered flags eluded him for months afterward. Once in the Chase, however, Kevin rose to the challenge. He won at Charlotte in October to avoid elimination, and at Phoenix to advance to the championship race the very next week. Needing only to finish better than the three other title contenders at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida, Kevin and his No. 4 team sprinted to Victory Lane in the Nov. 16 finale, edging fellow finalist and second-place finisher Ryan Newman by just one spot. After 14 seasons racing in the Cup series, Kevin had captured his first championship.
