In the news Alaska state looks at energy use report

FAIRBANKS, Alaska — Gov. Bill Walker says he’s working on a plan to reduce energy prices in interior Alaska. Walker told the Golden Valley Electric Association Saturday says he wants his proposal to be in effect by next winter. Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reports Walker says it’s too early to divulge details, but hinted that it could include Cook Inlet gas shipped by railroad, which has emerged as an alternative to trucking liquefied gas from the North Slope. Walker says interior energy costs remains a priority for his administration and notes that oil costs will rise again. Walker Chief of Staff Jim Whitaker says the plan wouldn’t require the same level of risk to the electric utility as trucking gas to the interior. —Associated Press

Troopers ALICE training reaches students look into possible stun gun abuse By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

When it comes to dealing with a campus shooting incident, students in Soldotna have all been taught the same things — drop to the floor, be quiet and wait. But as police and school administrators have learned, this tactic can result in more deaths as intruders walk into schools and find kids prone on the floor and vulnerable to attack. Soldotna High School students learned to fight back during a training session with Soldotna Police Officer Tobin Brennan. “If they’re coming into your classroom, if you’re in the commons and they come into the commons and you need to get out, I don’t want you to curl up into a little ball and hide under a table and wait for something bad to happen,” Brennan told several hundred students in the school’s auditorium. “I want you to throw stuff at him, I don’t care what — cell phones, pencils, books chairs, computers, anything you can find that’s not tied down that you can throw at them.” Since August 2014, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District has been working with police departments to implement a new kind of intruder response training known as ALICE, an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. For many in the audience, it was the first time someone had told them it was alright to fight back. Junior Drew Gibbs said

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska State Troopers are investigating allegations that a village public safety officer in Kake used a stun gun or Taser on two boys. Terrie Ward, mother of the 11-year-old boy, said they asked the officer in December to use the weapon on them because they were curious about what it feels like. Ward said she and her husband were out of town at the time, while their children were staying at their grandparent’s house. “They were talking about being tased, and my son did ask to be tased, and he tasered him on his arm or wrist,” she said. However, Ward said she isn’t sure if the weapon was a stun gun, which produces an electrical shock when placed against skin, or a Taser, which shoots barbs that attach to skin to deliver a disabling shock. The Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska is the tribal government that employs village public safety officers in Kake. It is also investigating the incident. Village public safety officers aren’t police or troopers, but citizens who are trained to be first responders to emergencies such as fires and search-and-rescues and to handle other basic law enforcement tasks.

Obama seeking wilderness designation for refuge By BECKY BOHRER and JIM KUHNHENN Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — President Barack Obama is proposing to designate the vast majority of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as a wilderness area, including its potentially oil-rich coastal plain, drawing an angry response from top state elected officials who see it as a land grab by the federal government. “They’ve decided that today was the day that they were going to declare war on Alaska. Well, we are ready to engage,”

said U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and chair of the Senate energy committee. The designation would set aside an additional 12.2 million acres as wilderness, including the coastal plain near Alaska’s northeast corner, giving it the highest degree of federal protection available to public lands. More than 7 million acres of the refuge currently are managed as wilderness. The refuge’s coastal plain has long been at the center of the struggle between conservationists and advocates of greater energy exploration in the U.S. Political leaders in

Alaska have supported allowing for exploration and production within the coastal plain. They have opposed attempts to further restrict development on federal lands, which comprise about two-thirds of the state, including within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. A resolution passed the state Legislature with bipartisan support last year urging Congress to allow for exploration and development on the coastal plain. A federal lawsuit brought by the state over the Interior Department’s refusal to consider a proposed exploration plan for the refuge’s coastal plain is C

pending. The state in 2013 proposed an exploration plan that it said was aimed at determining the true oil and gas potential in the refuge. The Republican congressional delegation, along with Alaska’s new governor, Bill Walker, sent out a joint news release Sunday morning calling the action “an unprecedented assault on Alaska.” Walker changed his GOP affiliation to undeclared in running for office last year. Walker told reporters in Anchorage that while he is not leaning toward litigation, the state is reviewing its options. He said this is one more exam-

ple of a restriction that the federal government wants to put on Alaska. He wants to reach out to other governors in hopes of banding together to fight the proposal, Walker said. The federal government is taking Alaska’s economy away from it piece by piece, he said. In a White House video released Sunday, Obama said he is seeking the designation “so that we can make sure that this amazing wonder is preserved for future generations.” The Interior Department issued a comprehensive plan Sunday that for the first time See WILD, page A-8

Anglers hopeful for Rogue steelhead By MARK FREEMAN Mail Tribune

TRAIL, Ore. — Technician Mitch Semrow had already sorted through close to 200 dark and ripe hatchery summer steelhead from the Rogue River at the Cole Rivers Hatchery collection pond when he grabbed something special. “It stuck out like a sore thumb, basically,” Semrow says. “It had the bulky winter build and it was really bright. Right away, I knew exactly what it was.” The 5-pound hatchery hen was the first winter steelhead of the season to navigate the entire 157 miles of the Rogue and reach the collection pond, marking the official start of the hatchery’s winter steelhead collection. But that was Dec. 30, the earliest a winter steelhead has ever shown its chrome in the hatchery’s 41-year history. “It was so early we had to reprogram the computer, because it didn’t allow for a winter steelhead here in December,” hatchery Manager David Pease says. Rogue anglers have plenty of reasons to suspect that early also means often, meaning this year’s winter steelhead run could be a banner occurrence. “That’s how we view it,” says Pete Samarin, a fish biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“I think it’s going to be a big return,” Samarin says. “It’ll be interesting to see.” Seeing is believing to anglers like Charlie “Steelhead” Brown, who joined fellow guides Steve Theel and Brady Rogers on a Jan. 8 float down the middle Rogue and boated seven winter steelhead. That’s a good day in the thick of the run, such as late February. “It’s pretty early for them, for sure,” Brown says. “I think it’s going to be real good.” Along with the wild fall chinook salmon, the Rogue Basin’s winter steelhead run is one of its most robust returns, with fish widely distributed and stalked by anglers in the mainstem Rogue and its two major tributaries — the Applegate and Illinois rivers. The fin-clipped hatchery fish released annually in the Rogue and Applegate rivers join a healthy wild component that makes up anywhere from 70 to 80 percent of the adult returns, according to ODFW estimates. Most years, steelhead fishing heats up in early February downstream of the mouth of the Applegate, with anglers targeting steelhead bound for that stream as well as others heading past it. February also is when Applegate anglers start casting flies and spoons for steelhead in that river’s lower few miles. Already Applegate anglers have reported catching steel-

head in the lower 14 miles up to Murphy Dam. “That’s just crazy,” says Samarin, who conducts annual steelhead spawning surveys in the Rogue Basin, including on the Applegate. But crazy does have some apparent hidden logic to the happy early returns. Since 2009’s removal of Savage Rapids Dam and the demolition of Gold Ray Dam a year later, the mainstem Rogue’s two major migration impediments are gone. Before those removals, the first winter steelhead typically reached Cole Rivers Hatchery in early to mid-February, records show. From 2010 to ‘13, the first fish came a week earlier than that, and last year’s first arrival came on Jan. 8, records show.

That was the earliest all-time, until Semrow’s steelhead beat that by 10 days. But that doesn’t account for the good early showings in the middle Rogue and Applegate — river stretches uninfluenced by the dam removals. Late December’s heavy rains provided good migration conditions for early-run fish. But the Rogue Basin has had plenty of wet Decembers that did not produce early winter steelhead. “It can’t be just the rain,” Samarin says. “It’s not that there’s a bunch of fish each year sitting in the bay waiting for rain. They don’t act like that.” One other interesting trend seen on the Rogue and elsewhere is the relationship between salmon and steelhead runs.

Navy to boost use of sonaremitting buoys By PHUONG LE Associated Press

SEATTLE — The U.S. Navy is seeking permits to expand sonar and other training exercises off the Pacific Coast, a proposal raising concerns from animal advocates who say that more sonar-emitting buoys would harm whales and other creatures that live in the water. The Navy wants to deploy up to 720 sonobuoys at least 12 nautical miles off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and Northern California. The devices, about 3 feet long and 6 inches in diameter, send out sonar signals underwater so air crews can train to detect submarines. “It sounds drastic in numbers, but it’s really not drastic in its impact,” said John Mosher, Northwest environmental manager for the U.S. Pacific Fleet. “Anti-submarine warfare is a critical mission for the U.S. Navy.” The Navy’s training range is home to endangered whales such as orcas, humpback and blue, as well as seals, sea lions and dolphins. Critics say the noise from sonar can harass and kill whales and other marine life. They worry the Navy is expanding training exercises without also increasing efforts to reduce the impacts. Steve Mashuda, a lawyer with the public-interest law firm Earthjustice, said they’re not asking the Navy to stop training in the area. “But it’s a big ocean out there. You don’t need to have all of those square miles of training available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” said Mashuda, whose group previously sued over permits issued to the Navy. The Navy needs authorization from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, since explosive detonations, sonar and vessel strikes have the potential to disturb, injure or kill marine mammals. Its current five-year permit expires this year. The Navy’s preferred alternative proposes 30 bombing exercises a year, as well as increased air-to-surface missile exercises and anti-submarine tracking activities that use sonar. It is taking comments through Feb. 2 on its updated proposal. Meanwhile, a separate Navy proposal to begin electronic warfare training in national forests in the state has also stirred opposition. People say they’re worried about noise, public safety and other potential impacts. The Navy wants to improve training for jets based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. They propose using mobile electronic emitters in Olympic, Colville and Okanogan-Wenatchee national forests so pilots could practice detecting those signals. The Navy says no weapons are being used. Heavy-duty pickup trucks will be equipped with emitters that send electromagnetic signals into the sky that are similar to signals used by cordless phones and Bluetooth devices. The vehicles, which haven’t been built yet, will be similar to a television news satellite truck. “There’s absolutely nothing to be afraid of. There’s no safety issue for the public, wildlife or the environment,” Mosher said.

What Others Say

Staying focused on natural gas Interior power co-op Golden Valley

Electric Association announced this week that starting in March, local power customers will pay close to 3 cents less per kilowatt hour on their energy bill. That’s unequivocally good news for residents who have been hampered by high local energy costs. The sizable drop in heating fuel prices this winter, coupled with warmer-than-usual weather, also has been a boon for those shelling out to have their home fuel tanks filled. But this respite from the pain of energy costs in years past shouldn’t dampen our resolve to find long-term solutions to the Interior energy crisis. Like the direct benefit of lower heating fuel costs, the coming drop in GVEA’s rates is a result of the same phenomenon hamstringing the state government’s budget: the sustained decline in the global cost of oil (and, by extension, its derivatives). Although GVEA produces the vast majority of its energy through lower-cost coal and the Eva Creek Wind Project near Healy, about a quarter of the power the co-op produces is generated by oil. And as the cost of fuel drops for the co-op, GVEA passes that savings on to its members. GVEA officials estimate the rate drop will result in a $17 savings per month for the average local power customer — not a fortune, but $17 per month adds up quickly. During the course of a year, it would result in more than $200 in savings if the new rate held steady. Lower costs for oil — and therefore heating fuel — have helped residents who in prior winters have seen their budgets crippled by the cost of heating their homes. And warmer temperatures have meant community members are filling their tanks less often. But we shouldn’t let this temporary period of relief from the high prices that have been the norm in recent years distract us from the community goal of securing low-cost energy in the form of natural gas. Contrary to what the global market price for oil indicates today, it is a scarce commodity, and growing scarcer every day. It’s only a matter of time before prices return to significantly higher levels, and we shouldn’t sit on our hands until then. Rather, we should treat the recent price drop for oil as what it is — a period of breathing room that came at an opportune time for Interior interests. The Interior Energy Project is in a delicate place with the expiration of contractor MWH’s participation in the construction of a North Slope liquefaction plant, and diligent work must be done by project stakeholders to make sure the Interior keeps moving toward gas delivery. From a statewide perspective, the massive decline in revenue resulting from the oil price slump underscores more than ever the necessity of transitioning to new economic drivers for Alaska. Among these, the most obvious and significant is the construction of a natural gas pipeline that can provide a substantial replacement for at least a substantial fraction of the lost revenue as oil production declines. Such a pipeline will require a financial commitment by the state at a time when finding funds is difficult, but things in Alaska are rarely easy. Though we are experiencing a respite from the historic high energy prices of the past several years, we must acknowledge those high costs will return, so we must work swiftly to make sure we can transition to other fuels. Now is no time to get distracted from our goal of long-term affordable heat and power for the Interior. — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Jan. 14

Obama’s foolish Gitmo fixation

President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address was an advertisement for his ideological fixity, and so he reiterated his unbending determination to close down the prison facility at Guantanamo Bay. Gitmo is to him what Carthage was to Cato the Elder. It is an obsession, and it must not stand. One of his first acts as president was to sign an executive order to close it down (having no idea what that would entail), and if he has to, he will send Marine One to evacuate the last of the detainees as he leaves office in January 2017. He had in mind what would be his hardleft, foreign-policy legacy long ago, no matter what the prudential considerations or the circumstances. He wanted to “end” the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Empty out Gitmo. And forge openings with Cuba and Iran. Gitmo has never been an ideal arrangement. But it is hardly a national disgrace, either. At the inception of the war on terror, the United States was confronted with a problem: What to do with people we knew to be dangerous but couldn’t readily try in our civilian courts? All these years later, that is still the crux of the issue. Obama makes a practical and moral case against the prison. The practical case is, as he said Tuesday night, that terrorists use Gitmo to recruit. At times, he has called the facility “probably the No. 1 re-

cruitment tool that is used by these jihadist organizations.” That is laughable. The president won’t say that violent extremists are motivated by Islam, but he is certain that they are motivated by Rich Lowry Guantanamo Bay. To believe his rhetoric, radical Islam isn’t a threat, but radical opposition to Guantanamo Bay is. Of course, terrorists don’t lack for justifications for terror. They were attacking us before anyone had thought of Gitmo, and they will be attacking us once it is shuttered. Remember when the Iraq War was the greatest terrorist recruiting tool? Since we have gotten out of Iraq, there are probably more terrorists, who are certainly better equipped and hold more territory, than at the height of the war there. We could curl up in a passive and inoffensive crouch — and that still wouldn’t stop radical Islam from attacking us. Its drive to kill and dominate emanates from the insatiable vortex of a totalitarian ideology. As for the moral case, the president expressed it in the State of the Union with that preening cliche, “It’s not who we are.” We aren’t the kind of people who hold

enemy combatants during wartime? As a general proposition, this is false and nonsensical, and Gitmo in particular by now is more than a blip. It has been open since 2002. It still houses more than 100 detainees, and congressional majorities repeatedly have thrown up obstacles to closing it. If the sin of Gitmo is holding enemy combatants without trial, that is going to happen no matter what. Even Obama’s own task force to study Gitmo several years ago concluded that, at that time, there were 48 detainees “too dangerous to transfer but not feasible for prosecution.” If, as the administration prefers, these type of detainees go to Fort Leavenworth, then that prison would merely become the next alleged stain on American honor. The reason to keep Gitmo open is that we can’t trust other countries to hold the worst of the worst. The rough recidivism rate of all detainees released from Gitmo so far is 30 percent. A risk of bringing them here to be jailed is that judges, prone to imposing their policy preferences, will find a way to order their release. In 2013, Obama called Gitmo “a symbol around the world for an America that flouts the rule of law.” Maybe it would be less so if the president of the United States didn’t partake of the cheap moral umbrage over it.

GOP calls for bipartisanship, says Obama defiant By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent

AP News Analysis

WASHINGTON — Winners by far in last fall’s elections, Republicans now demand bipartisanship from President Barack Obama as their due and the voters’ desire. They saw things far differently when the political fortunes were reversed six years ago. Then, with the president newly in office and the economy cratering, minority Republicans overwhelmingly opposed Obama’s stimulus legislation and voted unanimously against the health care overhaul for which he had campaigned. “We can’t buy prosperity with more and more government spending,” Rep. John Boehner, then the Republican leader and now the speaker, said as Obama and Democrats pressed for both tax cuts and budget increases to revive an economy shedding jobs at an alarming rate. As for health care, then-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said, “I think that, for virtually every Republican, a government plan is a nonstarter.” He worked effectively behind the scenes for months to prevent any defections from his rank and file that might produce a semblance of bipartisanship. At the time, with Democrats in charge of the government, Republicans had no purely political stake in a quick recovery from the worst economic meltdown in more than half a century, much less in helping Obama achieve a top domestic priority. Instead, they sought a way to rally their dispirited lawmakers and voters and lay the groundwork for future electoral victories when public opinion turned. Now, the Republicans’ core political imperative is different. In control of the Senate for the first time in eight years and owners of their strongest House majority in decades, they hope to shed the political taint of past government shutdowns, fiscal cliffs and flirtation with default, and emerge as a responsible govC

health care law and roll back regulations on Wall Street, the president said, “If a bill comes to my desk that tries to do any of these things, it will earn my veto.” Democratic lawmakers listening in the House applauded; Republicans sat on their hands. His administration’s list of veto threats includes eight measures and extends to abortion, government regulation and natural gas pipeline licensing as well as Keystone, health care and the financial industry. It surely will grow as Republicans try to make good on their promises to cut federal rules, rein in the Environmental Protection Agency and remake government benefit programs as part of an attempt to balance the budget in a decade. Democrats no doubt have the votes to sustain Obama’s vetoes. Besides, the public mood that resulted in a big Republican victory last fall now shows signs of a shift. Obama’s approval ratings are edging upward in some surveys and reached 50 percent, the highest level in more than a year, in a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll. Polls regularly show the public is eager for political leaders to work together, but the public leans toward a Republican point of view on some issues and a Democratic point of view on others. The Washington Post-ABC News survey found that the public said Republicans have better ideas than the president for encouraging economic development, but preferred Obama over the GOP on steps to help the middle class. Bipartisanship is a national goal, but no matter last fall’s election, it’s unlikely either side is strong enough to dictate the terms.

erning party. “Serious adults are in charge here and we intend to make progress,” McConnell, now the majority leader, said late last year as he and Republicans prepared to take the Senate’s reins. For starters, they are intent on challenging Obama’s policy of removing the threat of deportation the millions of immigrants who are living in the country illegally. But the GOP says its determination will not result in any shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Tea party voters and their allies in Congress may disagree, but compromise never has been their rallying cry. Besides, McConnell and the party establishment waged a campaign against tea party-backed insurgents in primaries last spring that was every bit as energetic as the one against the Democrats in the fall — and every bit as successful. Now, a chorus of Republicans lectures Obama that the voters have spoken and he should listen in a way they did not. “Just a couple of months ago the president said his policies were on the ballot. And they were resoundingly rejected,” the No. 2 Senate Republican, John Cornyn of Texas, said of last fall’s campaign in which the GOP gained nine Senate seats and their majority. “The president seems defiant,” he added after Obama’s State of the Union address Tuesday night, when he repeatedly threatened to veto Republican legislative priorities and challenged Congress to accept his own. Just as Boehner, R-Ohio, and McConnell once sought to rally their party after David Espo is The Associated Press’ election defeats, Obama’s televised prime- chief congressional correspondent. time speech seemed aimed at steadying Democrats in Congress and around the country after last fall’s election drubbing.

Boko Haram kills scores in Nigeria

CAIRO — Images of a mortally wounded protester, blood running down her face and hair as she was lifted from the pavement by a comrade, have touched off powerful criticism of Egypt’s government on the anniversary of a revolution initially sparked by police brutality. The photos and videos show a heavily armed police unit, with some members masked, shooting at a small, peaceful protest Saturday near Cairo’s Tahrir Square in which 32-year-old Shaimaa el-Sabbagh took part. A labor rights activist with a history of involvement in protests that predated the country’s 2011 revolution, el-Sabbagh was also a poet and mother of a 5-year-old boy. She had traveled to Cairo from her home in Alexandria to attend the demonstration to demand police and officials be held accountable for protesters killed since the uprising four years ago that forced autocrat Hosni Mubarak from power. She was killed by what authorities said was a blast of birdshot that pierced her heart and lungs from close range.

U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria James Entwistle, centre left walks with US Secretary of State John Kerry, centre and unidentified Nigerian government officials upon Kerry’s arrival, in Lagos, Nigeria, Sunday.

He also issued a warning: Anyone responsible for inciting post-election mayhem will be barred entry to the United States, where millions of Nigerians live. Kerry promised more U.S. support in the fight against Boko Haram if the elections take place peacefully and democratically. More than 800 people were killed in northern protests after Buhari, a Muslim northerner, lost 2011 elections to Jonathan, a Christian from the south. Boko Haram has denounced democracy and wants to make an Islamic state of Nigeria, whose population of about 170 million is divided almost equally between Muslims in the north and Christians in the south. In Maiduguri, troops blocked roads into the city, which also prevented civilians from escap-

ing. Defense Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Chris Olukolade said Sunday evening that troops successfully repelled attacks on Maiduguri and Konduga, 40 kilometers (25 miles) to the southeast. But he said they were mounting air raids in Monduno, a town 140 kilometers (88 miles) northeast of Maiduguri, which Boko Haram seized Sunday morning. More than 200 combatants died Sunday, mainly insurgents, according to soldiers and civilian self-defense fighters who counted bodies. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not allowed to speak to reporters. President Jonathan made a surprise visit to Maiduguri 10 days ago and pledged to crush the insurgents.

But his repeated promises are ringing hollow as Boko Haram since August has seized and kept control of large swaths of the northeast, including key border crossings into Cameroon, Chad and Niger. With encouragement from the United Nations, Nigeria and its neighbors are setting up a multinational force to fight the extremists who recently have increased cross-border raids into Cameroon. But there is distrust of Nigeria’s military, which many believe is infiltrated by Boko Haram at the highest levels. The Maiduguri attack is not unexpected. Boko Haram on Jan. 3 seized a key military base and Baga town on the border with Cameroon, killing hundreds of civilians and leaving the main road open to Maiduguri.

‘Historic’ storm headed for Northeast By VERENA DOBNIK Associated Press

NEW YORK — A “potentially historic” storm could dump 2 to 3 feet of snow from northern New Jersey to Connecticut starting Monday, crippling a region that has largely been spared so far this winter, the National Weather Service said. A blizzard warning was issued for New York and Boston, and the National Weather Service said the massive storm would bring heavy snow and powerful winds starting Monday and into Tuesday. “This could be a storm the likes of which we have never seen before,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio at a news conference Sunday. De Blasio held up a piece of paper showing the city’s top 10 snowstorms and said this one could land at the top of a list that goes back to 1872, including the 26.9 inches that fell in 2006. “Don’t underestimate this storm. Prepare for

the worst,” he said as he urged residents to plan to leave work early Monday. Boston is expected to get 18 to 24 inches of snow, and Philadelphia could see 14 to 18 inches, the weather service said. A weekend storm that had brought snow and slush to the Northeast — the first real snow of the season for many areas — was just a warm-up. “Looks like our luck is about to run out,” said John Paulsen as he gassed up his SUV in New Jersey. “I can’t complain too much since we’ve had a pretty mild winter, but I don’t know if I’m ready for a foot or so of snow all at once.” The storm system driving out of the Midwest brought snow to Ohio on Sunday and was expected to ultimately spread from the nation’s capital to Maine for a “crippling and potentially historic blizzard,” the National Weather Service said. The Washington area expected only a coating or a bit more, with steadily increasing

amounts expected as the storm plods its way north. The storm promised treacherous travel by both land and air throughout the busy Northeast corridor. At New York’s Penn Station, Cicero Goncalves was waiting for a train to Vermont, where he’s going snowboarding, because he expected the flight he had hoped to take would be canceled. But the 34-year-old flight attendant from Queens counted himself and his travel partner as lucky. “We’ll get there before it snows, and we’re coming back when the storm is over, on Thursday,” he said. Preparations large and small were in effect elsewhere in New York. A Manhattan Home Depot store sold about twice as many shovels over the weekend as it normally does while transit officials hoping to keep the subways running smoothly planned to use modified subway cars loaded with de-icing fluid to spray the third rail that powers trains. Farther north, a blizzard

warning was issued for Boston from Monday night through early Wednesday. Wind gusts of 60 mph or more are possible on Cape Cod, forecasters said. Wyatt Baars, manager of the Charlestown Ace Hardware in Boston, sold out of his bags of ice-melting pellets. But he said a New Hampshire distributor is helping him and delivering more. “Everybody is preparing for the storm,” he said. “When we have something this big on the horizon, everybody comes in for the ice melt, snow shovels, snow brooms.” Snow plow driver Al Laplant expected to be out clearing roads of Simsbury, Connecticut, this week, just as he has for more than two decades. “We’ll be out there until the storm’s over and then at least three hours after cleaning up,” he said as he attended a home show in Hartford. “We’ll be out there through the whole storm.” But even for a plow driver, the snow is no cakewalk.

WHO adopts structural reforms By MARIA CHENG AP Medical Writer

GENEVA— The World Health Organization has proposed reforms that could overhaul its structure after botching the response to the biggest-ever Ebola outbreak, a sluggish performance that experts say cost thousands of lives. On Sunday, several dozen of WHO’s member countries approved a resolution aimed at strengthening the U.N. health agency’s ability to respond to emergencies, though many of the details have yet to be worked out and it’s unclear what concrete changes will result. “The WHO we have is not the WHO we need,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He said decisions at WHO were often made for political rather than scientific reasons. WHO’s chief, Dr. Marga-

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — In fierce fighting Sunday that killed more than 200 combatants, Nigerian troops clashed with Islamic extremists who attacked Maiduguri, the biggest city in northeastern Nigeria, from three fronts. At the same time the insurgents continued scorched-earth attacks on villages some 200 kilometers (125 miles) to the south in Adamawa state, slitting throats of residents, looting and burning homes and abducting dozens of trapped women and children, according to Vandu Kainu and other escaping survivors. Adamawa state legislator Adamu Kamale appealed for troops to protect civilians in Michika, where six villages are under attack. “The attacks have continued since Friday with no presence of security operatives,” he complained. The multiple attacks come as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visited Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital nearly 1,000 miles (more than 1,500 kilometers) southwest of Maiduguri, to encourage peaceful elections on Feb. 14 in Africa’s most populous country. “This will be the largest democratic election on the continent,” Kerry said. “Given the stakes, it’s absolutely critical that these elections be conducted peacefully — that they are credible, transparent and accountable.” Kerry met with President Goodluck Jonathan and his chief rival candidate, former military dictator Muhammadu Buhari. Kerry told reporters afterward that he won pledges from both to refrain from violence.

ret Chan, acknowledged Sunday that WHO was too slow to grasp the significance of the Ebola outbreak, which is estimated to have killed more than 8,600 people, mainly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Critics say the kinds of reform being adopted are long overdue. “The groundswell of dissatisfaction and lack of trust in WHO over Ebola has reached such a crescendo that (without) fundamental reform, I think we might lose confidence in WHO for a generation,” said Lawrence Gostin, director of the WHO Collaborating Center on Public Health Law and Human Rights at Georgetown University. “Ebola revealed all of WHO’s inherent weaknesses and the international community saw painfully what it was like to see WHO not being able to lead. That resulted in thousands of deaths that were completely avoidable,” he said. In a resolution adopted by

WHO’s executive board, nearly 60 countries called on the agency to take “immediately necessary steps” to enact measures including the creation of an emergency fund to respond to health crises. Britain’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sally Davies, announced the U.K. would donate $10 million to the proposed fund. The resolution also called for the establishment of a reserve of health workers to battle epidemics, but didn’t specify how large this workforce would be. WHO conceded that, despite public expectations that it can respond quickly to health emergencies, it simply is not designed to do that. The proposed changes undermine WHO’s own decision two years ago to slash its outbreak department and challenges the agency’s past insistence that its expertise is in issuing technical guidance, not acting as a first responder.

ATHENS, Greece— A triumphant Alexis Tsipras told Greeks that his radical left Syriza party’s win in Sunday’s early general election meant an end to austerity and humiliation and that the country’s regular and often fraught debt inspections were a thing of the past. “Today the Greek people have made history. Hope has made history,” Tsipras said in his victory speech at a conference hall in central Athens. Official results with 60 percent of polling stations counted showed Syriza with 36 percent, far ahead of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’ conservatives, who had 28 percent. But it was still unclear whether Syriza would have the minimum 151 of parliament’s 300 seats needed to form a government without support from other parties. Greek election officials said that would likely only become clear once all votes were counted — something expected by early Monday at the earliest. Whatever the case, all eyes will be on the opening of world financial markets after Syriza beat Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’ incumbent conservatives.

Charlie Hebdo hailed for free speech as dozens arrested for defending terror LONDON — When cartoonists at a French publication that had poked fun at the Prophet Muhammad were shot dead, millions around the world felt it as an attack on freedom of speech. Since the rampage that left four dead at a kosher supermarket and 12 at the Charlie Hebdo offices, French authorities have arrested dozens of people — including a comedian — for appearing to praise the terrorists or encourage more attacks. That has unleashed accusations of a double standard, in which free speech applies to those who mock Islam while Muslims are penalized for expressing their own provocative views. Many Muslims complain that France aggressively prosecutes anti-Semitic slurs, but that they are not protected from similar racist speech.

Obama, Modi declare era of ‘new trust’, make progress on nuclear accord NEW DELHI— President Barack Obama and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday declared an era of “new trust” in the often fraught relationship between their nations as the U.S. leader opened a three-day visit to New Delhi. Standing side by side at the stately Hyderabad House, Obama and Modi cited progress toward putting in place a landmark civil nuclear agreement, as well as advances on climate change and defense ties. But from the start, the day was more about putting their personal bond on display. Modi broke with protocol and wrapped Obama in an enthusiastic hug after Obama got off Air Force One. Obama later told reporters that Modi’s “strong personal commitment to the U.S.-India relationship gives us an opportunity to further energize these efforts.” Modi was as effusive. He called Obama by his first name and said “the chemistry that has brought Barack and me closer has also brought Washington and Delhi closer.” -Associated Press

Brown Bears take series from Chill Kenai River moves 2 points out of final playoff spot in NAHL Midwest Division By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Winter’s back, and so are the Kenai River Brown Bears. The only place chill didn’t hold considerable sway this weekend was in the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, where the Bears emerged from a 14-game losing streak to take two of three from the Coulee Region (Wisconsin) Chill. Sunday, the Bears won the rubber match in the series 2-1 in front of 310 fans. “We just played with total team effort,” Kenai River head coach Geoff Beauparlant said. “Like (Chill coach) AJ (Degenhardt) said Friday, you have to play 60 minutes in this league if you expect to win. “It was a hard-fought series that shows how much parity is in this league, and how good of a hockey club we can be.” The chase is now officially on for the last playoff spot out of the North

American Hockey League Midwest Division. Kenai River, at 13-26-2, trails the Minnesota Wilderness by two points. Both teams have 19 games to play. The Chill are at 21-13-6 in the Midwest, seven points out of second but 18 points ahead of fourth. After losing 1-0 Saturday, the Bears came out strong in the first period, outshooting the Chill 15-7 en route to a 36-34 advantage for the game. Kenai River built some momentum killing off a penalty, getting a couple good short-handed chances at the 7:10 mark, and capitalized on that momentum at 6:46 when Jack Gessert sent a puck to the net that bounced off Maurin Bouvet and in. The Gessert-Bouvet-Alex Jackstadt line, which was involved in four of the Bears’ five goals during the threegame series, kept clicking with 25 seconds left in the first. Bouvet got the puck out front to Jackstadt. Somehow the puck found its way to Gessert, and he buried the

opportunity. Gessert now has 21 goals on the season, three behind the league lead. The Chill responded by controlling the first six minutes of play in the second period, but Kenai River held the fort with its improved defense and goaltending. During the losing streak, the Bears gave up 4.9 goals a game. But they held Coulee to four goals in the series. “It was a lot more perimeter shots,” said Kenai River goalie Alec Derks, who made 33 saves. “The D is doing a great job of keeping the puck away from the front of the net.” Beauparlant said the defenders must be confident in the goalie’s ability to save those perimeter shots, more often than not without a rebound, in order for the defense to be solid. Derks’ biggest moment came after the Bears took a 1-0 lead in the first period and Charlie Parker earned a breakaway. Derks stopped the initial charge as well as two more pretty good pokes.

“We got the situational saves this weekend from both guys,” Beauparlant said, also referring to Evan Hauser. “It was tough for Derks because he hadn’t played in four games.” The goalies teamed up to take two of three from Adam Carlson, a Division I recruit who had 34 saves Sunday. “It’s a good start for me and him, now we just have to keep going and pushing each other in practice,” Derks said. The third period was a gut check for both teams, with long periods without a whistle on the big sports complex ice pushing fitness to the limit. “When you play three in a row, it’s always going to be a grind on that third day, especially in the third period,” Gessert said. “But we found a way and got good contributions from the third and fourth lines.” Derks said he only had to save about five shots of any real level of difficulty in the third. The Bears now face the Wenatchee

(Washington) Wild at 7 p.m. Thursday and 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The Wild are 16-18-7 and coming off a Saturday win in Fairbanks. “We’ll have a day off tomorrow, then take Tuesday and Wednesday to get ready for a really good Wenatchee team,” Gessert said.

Krzyzewski wraps win No. 1,000 By MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Coach 1K. How grand. Mike Krzyzewski earned his 1,000th career win Sunday, making him the first NCAA Division I men’s coach to reach the milestone, when No. 5 Duke surged past St. John’s in the second half for a 77-68 victory at Madison Square Garden. Tyus Jones scored 22 points and the Blue Devils (17-2) went on an 18-2 run down the stretch to put Coach K in four figures on his first try. “I’m not sure I’ve ever been a part of a game like that. That’s kind of nuts, huh?” Krzyzewski said. “It just seemed like three different games.” Jahlil Okafor had 17 points and 10 rebounds, combining with Jones and Quinn Cook (17 points) to fuel the decisive spurt after Duke trailed by 10 with 8:15 remaining. That’s when the Blue Devils finally began to look like a Krzyzewski-coached team, picking up their defense and hustling to loose balls as he

urged them on from one knee in front of the bench. Duke outworked the Red Storm on the glass and held them without a field goal for 6 pivotal minutes. “It just, boom! It was great,” Krzyzewski said. “It was beautiful, really, to see them fight today and win.” When the final horn sounded, Blue Devils players engulfed Krzyzewski and he received a bear hug from assistant Jeff Capel. Photographers swarmed the coach on the court, and players were given T-shirts that read “1,000 Wins And Kounting.” A public address announcement offered congratulations to Krzyzewski, and Duke fans at a packed Garden chanted his name and held aloft “K’’ signs. “I’m glad it’s over,” Krzyzewski said in the postgame interview room with family nearby — including two of his three daughters and seven of his nine grandchildren. “There will be others that win more, but it is kind of neat to be the first one to 1,000,” he added. “I am proud of that,

too: It’s not just the number of wins, but the quality of opponents we’ve had.” Sir’Dominic Pointer had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the feisty Red Storm (13-6), who were looking for a huge win to put on their NCAA tournament resume. They were in position to get it, but got worn down late by Duke and let this one slip away. “I thought we just missed some easy looks,” St. John’s coach Steve Lavin said. “We came up short today, but I think you can also see the sneak preview of a team that could be very dangerous here if we continue to make progress.” No. 1,000 came about 500 miles from the cramped and cozy confines of Cameron Indoor Stadium, but Coach K was hardly on unfamiliar soil. Madison Square Garden, after all, was where he notched victory No. 903 against Michigan State in November 2011, breaking the Division I record previously held by his college coach and mentor, Bob Knight. “To win the 1,000th here, you need to be a lucky guy.

I like my place, Cameron, but this is a magical place,” Krzyzewski said. The 67-year-old Krzyzewski improved to 1,000-308 in a 40year coaching career that began in 1975 at his alma mater, Army. He is 927-249 in 35 seasons at Duke, guiding the Blue Devils to four NCAA titles and 11 trips to the Final Four. “It’s special. But it’s for all the players who have played for him who got these wins. It’s not just us,” Cook said. “That’s why we wanted to come out and get it done.” The lively crowd of 19,812, mixed with fans of both schools, included about 1520 former Duke players as well as Carmelo Anthony and Phil Jackson from the New York Knicks; St. John’s greats Chris Mullin, Lou Carnesecca and Felipe Lopez; and Nike boss Phil Knight.

RAPTORS 114, PISTONS 110 TORONTO — Jonas Valanciunas had 20 points and 11 rebounds, DeMar DeRozan scored 25 points and the Toronto Raptors held on down the stretch to beat the shorthanded Detroit Pistons. Amir Johnson added 17 as the Raptors won for the third time in four games and snapped a twogame losing streak at home. The Pistons, who lost for the third time in four games, learned earlier Sunday that guard Brandon Jennings will miss the rest of the season after he ruptured his left Achilles tendon. Starting in place of Jennings, Detroit point guard D.J. Augustin scored a career-high 35 points.

SPURS 101, BUCKS 95 SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan had 20 points and 11 rebounds, Kawhi Leonard added 19 points and 14 rebounds and the San Antonio Spurs rallied in the second half to beat the Milwaukee Bucks. Boris Diaw added 14 points, helping San Antonio win its fifth straight against Milwaukee. Khris Middleton had 21 points and Jared Bayless had 15 points for the Bucks, who lost after defeating Detroit on Saturday.

WARRIORS 114, CELTICS 111 OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry had 22 points and 11 assists, Klay Thompson scored 31 points and the Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics for their 19th consecutive home win. Andrew Bogut added 13 points C

and 13 rebounds to help the Warriors stay unbeaten in 14 games against the Eastern Conference this season. Golden State also improved its NBA-best record to 36-6. Two nights after scoring an NBA-record 37 points in the third quarter of Golden State’s 126-101 win over Sacramento, Thompson was 11 for 19 from the field and 6 for 8 at the line. Jared Sullinger had 26 points and nine rebounds for the Celtics, who have lost four of six.

WIZARDS 117, NUGGETS 115, OT DENVER — John Wall scored six of his 19 points in overtime and had 16 assists as the Washington Wizards beat the Denver Nuggets. Kris Humphries had a seasonhigh 21 points and 14 rebounds to help Washington stop a two-game skid. Ty Lawson had 31 points and 12 assists in his return to the Nuggets’ lineup. Lawson missed a tying jumper in the waning seconds of overtime. Lawson was back after missing Friday’s game after being arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired early Friday morning. Lawson returned to practice Saturday.

ROCKETS 99, LAKERS 87 LOS ANGELES — James Harden had 37 points and eight rebounds, and the Houston Rockets rolled past the Lakers, sending Los Angeles to its eighth straight defeat. Harden hit four 3-pointers, and the NBA’s leading scorer added five assists in the Rockets’ third victory in four games. Josh Smith and Jason Terry had 11 points apiece as Houston cruised to its fourth straight road victory over the Lakers even without Dwight Howard, who sat out after injuring his right ankle two days ago.

sees goals galore

By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — It was enough to give a goalie nightmares: A record 29 goals, 25 players with at least two points and eight with at least four. In addition to the highprofile superstars who didn’t make it to Ohio’s capital city for the NHL All-Star game, defense also took a holiday. John Tavares of the New York Islanders matched a record with four goals, and Team Toews beat Team Foligno 17-12 on Sunday night in the highest-scoring NHL All-Star game. “We had so many good players on each team,” said Philadelphia Flyers forward Jake Voracek, who tied another record with six points. “There’s going to be a lot of goals.” How much offense was there? Tavares wasn’t even the MVP, although that might have been due to a little home-cooking. Ryan Johansen of the host Columbus Blue Jackets had two goals and two assists for the losing side and was selected as the MVP in voting by fans on Twitter. Tavares was as gracious about the balloting as he was good on the ice. “I didn’t come to the game trying to get the car,” said Tavares, referring to

the prize given to the MVP. “You get four goals, and obviously you think you have an opportunity. But Ryan had a good game. He had a couple of nice goals, made some nice plays.” Johansen, a budding star for the Blue Jackets, was touched by the smiles of the fans he encountered all week. “It’s meant a lot, being a part of it — seeing the fans and how much they’ve been enjoying all the festivities,” he said. “We did a two-hour (autograph) signing. Everybody just seemed to be having a great time. All the kids were laughing and having a lot of fun.” The players, at least those on offense, had a lot of fun once the game started. The wild, no-defense exhibition even featured a fake fight to go with goals in bunches. It was the most goals in the event’s 60-year history, eclipsing the 26-goal burst in North America’s 14-12 victory over the World in 2001. Tavares’ four goals gave him a share of the All-Star record that was established by Wayne Gretzky in 1983, and equaled by Mario Lemieux (1990), Vincent Damphousse (1991), Mike Gartner (1993) and Dany Heatley (2003). Voracek’s six points tied another mark set by Pittsburgh legend Lemieux.

Serena reaches quarterfinals MELBOURNE, Australia — Serena Williams avenged her heaviest Grand Slam defeat with a comeback 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 win over Garbine Muguruza on Monday to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals. The top-ranked Williams was pushed all the way by No. 24-seeded Muguruza, who matched her in the heavy-hitting rallies, and who had conceded only four games to her in a second-round upset last year at the French Open. Five-time Australian Open winner Williams next faces Dominika Cibulkova, who reproduced the kind of tennis that helped her reach the final here last year as she beat two-time champion Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 3-6, 6-3. Defending champion Stan Wawrinka beat Guillermo GarciaLopez 7-6 (2), 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (8) to move into the men’s quarterfinals, where he’ll play either No. 5 Kei Nishikori or No. 9 David Ferrer.

Brown wins 1st U.S. figure skating title GREENSBORO, N.C. — Jason Brown gushed to Adam Rippon: “Oh my god, it was amazing.” He turned to Joshua Farris, his skating rival for nearly a decade, and told him, “It’s just so cool to continue to grow together.” Brown won his first U.S. title Sunday when Rippon’s stellar long program couldn’t make up a big deficit and Farris’ mistake may have cost him the championship. All three were still beaming afterward, a breakthrough performance for each competitor. The 20-year-old Brown, the runner-up a year ago to earn an Olympic berth, handled the pressure of being the favorite with aplomb. Leading Rippon by 8.65 points after the short program, Brown had no massive mistakes in the free skate to finish with 274.98 points, a record for the event and enough to beat Rippon by 2.5.

Vonn captures another super-G ST. MORITZ, Switzerland — Exceeding expectations in her comeback season, Lindsey Vonn now heads to her hometown world championships injury-free and winning races in style. That is a rare luxury, the Alpine ski star reflected Sunday, after running her women’s World Cup wins record mark to 64 with an impressive super-G victory. Vonn’s mastery of a tricky course setting meant only one racer, Olympic super-G champion Anna Fenninger of Austria, finished within a second of her winning time. “This is definitely the healthiest I’ve been going into a big event, for sure,” said the 30-year-old American, due to arrive home Monday in Vail, Colorado, one week ahead of the two-yearly worlds.

Haas closes out Humana Challenge

A-7

LA QUINTA, Calif. — Bill Haas pulled ahead with a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-4 16th and parred the final two holes for a one-stroke victory Sunday in the Humana Challenge. Haas closed with a 5-under 67 for his sixth PGA Tour title and first since the 2013 AT&T National. He won the 2010 event for his first tour victory. “Honestly, if you would have told me I would have done this last week, I would have laughed at you,” Haas said. “To be here is an unbelievable feeling.” His father, Jay, won the 1998 tournament. Haas’ great uncle, 85-year-old Bob Goalby, was in the gallery at PGA West’s Arnold Palmer Private Course. Goalby won the 1968 Masters. Haas was making his first start since November. He took the break to rest his left wrist, fractured in April when he fell down stairs. — The Associated Press

Watt leads fun time at Pro Bowl By BOB BAUM AP Sports Writer

GLENDALE, Ariz. — J.J. Watt danced, Jimmy Graham dunked, Odell Beckham Jr. dazzled. The Pro Bowl in the desert was all about having a good time. Few moved very fast, no one flattened a quarterback and there were no bone-jarring hits in the gentle, friendly version of football played Sunday. Even in a game dominated by offense, Watt was the star. The Texans defensive end intercepted pass, recovered a fumble and led the crowd in dances during commercial breaks. Team Irvin defeated 32-28 Watt’s Team Carter, but the score doesn’t matter in the NFL’s all-star game. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, no one more so than Watt, moving to the music while the cheerleaders danced. “I just tried to enjoy it,” he said. “That’s what the Pro Bowl is all about, giving the fans a

good show. Everybody worked so hard to get here, you want to enjoy yourself and play some good ball. Guys are dancing around and having a good time, that’s what it’s all about.” In its one year out of Hawaii, the game drew a sellout crowd of 63,225. Memorable moments came from Graham, the Saints’ tight end who dunked over the crossbar twice after TD catches — this time with no penalty, and Giants rookie Beckham, who made a diving grab at midfield. Graham’s second touchdown, on a 1-yard, fourth-down pass from Matt Ryan, was the winning TD with 3:10 to play. Greg Olsen and Emmanuel Sanders also caught a pair of

touchdown passes apiece. Andrew Luck was nearly perfect in his short time on the field, completing 9 of 10 for 119 yards and two scores. Matthew Stafford threw for 316 yards and two TDs and was the offensive MVP. The Pro Bowl took a one-year hiatus from Hawaii to be played in the desert a week before the Super Bowl. The big crowd watched the teams moved up and down the field, often without much resistance. “You don’t have hardly any time to get timing down or anything else,” New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees said. “So much of what you’re doing out there is street ball. “ If the players missed the beach, they wouldn’t let on.

“It’s been fantastic,” Dallas quarterback Tony Romo said. “The turnout here at the stadium is just like an NFL game.” Romo knew this wasn’t a real NFL game. The difference between Hawaii and Arizona? “More fans,” Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson said. “I believe it gives the fans an opportunity — it’s a little bit more inexpensive trip versus going across the water. So I think it’s definitely getting more fans engaged in the game.” “It’s a blast,” Stafford said. “To able to play with the best in the world is a whole lot of fun, and everybody is such good people, too. I am out here having a good time.”

Brennan’s message stuck with him. Gibbs has always been told to hide and wait. “I think it’s better that they’re letting us leave the room and get out and get safe and actually fight back if we have to,” he said. Gibbs also got the chance to test the theory when he volunteered, along with three other students, to simulate having a shooter on campus. Gibbs was given a Nerf gun while three other students were tasked with comparing the old training with their new training. During the first simulation, the three students dropped and covered and Gibbs strolled out onto the stage with the gun and was able to hit each of them. The second time, Brennan gave the three students several balls to throw at Gibbs and as they ran across the stage attacking him, Gibbs didn’t hit any of them. “If a guy had a gun and I had nothing, I’d definitely throw something at him,” Gibbs said. Brennan cautioned the students not to seek out an intruder just to fight. “We want you to get out if

recommended the additional protections. If Congress agrees, it would be the largest wilderness designation since passage of the Wilderness Act in the 1960s, the agency said. However, the proposal is likely to face stiff resistance in the Republican-controlled Congress. Murkowski said in an interview that Obama is going after something “that is not possible in this Congress.” She said she sees it as an attempt by the administration to “score some environmental points” and to rile passions ahead of another announcement by Interior in the coming days that Murkowski said she was

Former Anchorage soldier sentenced 62 years in prison for murdering his wife ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A former soldier has been sentenced to 62 years in prison for the murder of his wife in their Anchorage home. KTVA (http://ow.ly/HUfEW ) reports 26-year-old David Lopez was sentenced Friday. A jury last year found him guilty of murder for the 2012 shooting death of his wife, Sara Lopez. Prosecutors say David Lopez was angry that the Office of Children’s Services took away the couple’s daughter after Sara Lopez brought the toddler to a hospital because of concerns about bruises on the girl. According to the Alaska Department of Law, David Lopez called the children’s services agency and threatened to shoot everyone at the office unless his daughter was returned. He later called 911 to report he shot his wife. Photo by Rashah McChesney/Peninsula Clarion

you can,” he said. “The best way for you to survive an attack is to escape.” The training students were given is different than what the police department has been implementing with teachers. Brennan said teachers spend two hours learning in-depth reactions and protocols. During the assembly, Brennan told the students not to be startled if they heard a teacher’s voice over the

intercom. That teacher could be communicating the whereabouts of the intruder, trying to reason with intruder or mocking the shooter; the idea is to distract the violent person long enough to allow more students to escape. Alaska State Troopers and Kenai Police will conduct area training as well. Brennan said the program is modified even further to teach the Soldotna elementary schools, he said.

“You can’t walk into a kindergarten class and talk about tackling and things like that,” he said. “A lot of the counter stuff isn’t even involved at that age. It’s more about hiding, barricading and escaping. That’s what we want them to be able to do.”

told would propose putting offlimits to development certain areas of the offshore Arctic. Murkowski said she spoke with Interior Secretary Sally Jewell and Jewell’s chief of staff in the last few days. Interior Department spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw, responding by email Sunday, did not offer details, but she said a proposed five-year offshore drilling plan is forthcoming and that environmental reviews of lease areas in the Arctic waters off Alaska’s shores are under way. The department pegged the timing of Obama’s announcement in part to recent legislation proposed in Congress and talks involving potentially opening the refuge to development. Earlier this month, U.S. Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, introduced a bill that would allow for development on the coastal plain.

On Wednesday, in his first State of the State speech, Walker talked about working with the congressional delegation to tap oil within the refuge. Murkowski referenced the refuge — and the economic benefits that she said could come from unlocking a part of it — in an energy-focused Republican weekly address on Saturday. Murkowski, who chairs the Interior appropriations subcommittee, said Sunday that the days of Obama administration officials knowing they can call her and get a call back are done. Young, in a statement, called the proposed wilderness delegation a violation of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. “ Simply put, this wholesale land grab, this widespread attack on our people and our way of life, is disgusting,” he said. Conservation groups hailed

Obama’s announcement. David Houghton, president of the National Wildlife Refuge Association, said in a statement released by conservation and some Native organizations that the refuge’s coastal plain “is one of the last places on earth that has been undisturbed by humans, and we owe it to our children and their children to permanently protect this invaluable resource.” Robert Thompson, who lives within the refuge’s borders at Kaktovik and is chairman of the group Resisting Environmental Destruction on Indigenous Lands, worries that oil and gas development would displace Native subsistence activities. He said he was pleased with Obama’s action, even if it is symbolic.

Gas line, legalization up in the legislature JUNEAU, Alaska — The Alaska Legislature begins its first full week of work Monday after an intense start to the new session. The state has a new governor, Bill Walker. And his State of the State and State of the Budget speeches were highly anticipated by those hoping to get a better sense for the direction he plans to take the state. While the first speech was brimming with hopefulness, the second, devoted to confronting the state’s multibilliondollar budget deficit, laid out a tougher message: State government will need to downsize, and it’s going to hurt. Falling oil prices have exacerbated the deficit. It is anyone’s guess how low prices will go or how long they’ll stay low. The North Slope oil price in recent days was about $47 a barrel. It was around $107 when lawmakers ended their last session in late April. The budget is the main priority at the Capitol, with more details on Walker’s spending plan — and the effect on departments — expected to emerge. The major liquefied natural gas project that the state is pursuing with BP, Exxon Mobil Corp., ConocoPhillips, TransCanada Corp. and the Alaska Gasline Development Corp. remains, in the view of many at the Capitol, as Alaska’s best hope for a significant new revenue stream. While there is no pending legislation dealing with the project so far this session, lawmakers are scheduled to receive updates this week on the project’s status. As a candidate, Walker raised questions about the how the project was structured. That has made some lawmakers, who last year approved a framework for the state’s participation in the project, nervous about Walker’s plans now that he is governor. Walker said he has no intention of starting over. “I will take the good work that they have done and I will continue it,” he told reporters Friday. Deputy Natural Resources Commissioner Marty Rutherford said the administration is “totally committed to moving this project forward.” Alaskans have talked for many years about a gas line as a way to provide energy to residents, create jobs and to shore up revenues in an oil-dependent state. —Associated Press C

Soldotna students spotlight safety By IAN FOLEY Peninsula Clarion

When many Soldotna area students travel to school, they reflect on their schoolwork. Now their clothes will reflect as well. To better ensure the safety of students, the city of Soldotna has partnered with several local organizations in order to supply reflective hats to kids. The headwear will be provided to students of four Soldotna area elementary schools — Redoubt Elementary, KBeach Elementary, Soldotna Elementary and Soldotna Montessori. The neon-yellow, knit hats include a reflect strip and the logo of each respective school. Each school will also hold a special assembly to distribute the hats, as well as inform students about the importance of being able to be seen in dark conditions. John Czarnezki, Soldotna city planner, said that the goal of the program is to keep kids safe. “With a winter like this, without a lot of snow, there’s nothing really to reflect light off of,” Czarnezki said. “When it’s dark, it’s really dark. Not all of our streets have lights, and not all of our streets have sidewalks, so kids that are walking or biking to school are at risk.” Czarnezki said that the program was funded through grant money from the Safe Route to School program. He said about $5,000 was left over from the grant, and an additional $4,000 was raised by various organizations including the Elks Club and the Central Peninsula Health Foundation. Alaska Industrial Hardware provided the hats at a discounted price. “We were trying to come up with a unique way to not only spend the final few dollars,” Czarnezki said. “But the program is about getting kids to school safely, so we came up with the idea of getting hats out there.” Czarnezki said that the idea came from some areas in the Northwest where some kids were provided with reflective umbrellas. “We thought, ‘Oh, that’s an awesome idea,’ except it doesn’t rain here (in the winter),” Czarnezki said. “We thought hats were the next best idea.” Not only will the hats help the students travel more safely, Czarnezki said they serve another purpose as well. “The other benefit is that a lot of kids don’t come with the right gear, or can’t afford the right gear,” Czarnezki said.

Students at K-Beach elementary where given reflective hats during a presentation on outdoor safety on Thursday Jan. 22, 2015 in Soldotna, Alaska.

“Handing out hats this time of year is a positive thing just so kids have warm clothing.” K-Beach elementary held its safety assembly on Friday. Nate Crabtree, the school’s principal, said the reaction from the students was wonderful. He said that teachers at the school cover different aspects pertaining to safety throughout the year, but thinks the hats are a good idea, especially with the school mascot on them.

“There’s pride throughout the community,” Crabtree said. Sarina Wilkinson, a fifth grader at KBeach Elementary, said that while she has sometimes worn dark clothes in the winter, she’s going to try and be more cautious. “I’m going to start by wearing my hat,” Wilkinson said.

A true friendship is moving beyond first impressions

ave you ever given someone a really bad first impression of you? I have, and I wished that I could do it over. But, as everyone knows, you don’t get a second chance at a first impression. First impressions are the kickstarters of a relationship, for better or for worse. Some relationships, like acquaintances, never move past the first impression. However, the knowledge that comes with true friendship allows you to get a chance to change someone’s perception of you. Friendships are really just long term do overs. People will come to understand each other better over time. A beauti-

V erbatim C hloe K incaid ful and absolutely necessary part of friendship is that the relationship is constantly changing. Most friendships fall apart because the participants are holding onto a false perception of each other — a previous impression. The other person had changed, but we continue to judge them based on past experiences. Keeping an open mind and ac-

knowledging that the person is bound to change will keep you (and them) happier. When I find out that I am wrong about something, I get pretty upset. So why would I set myself up for the trouble of learning that I didn’t know someone inside out? Accepting that everyone grows is an important step of being emotionally healthy — for you and the people that you care for. Trying to put a person in a box of past definitions will only stunt their growth. Having an evolving view of a person can make it easier to accept an apology from them. It is amazingly C

hard to forgive if you decline to even attempt to forget. Forgetting how a person was bad to you before and moving on to a better tomorrow is a no-brainer when building a successful relationship. If you hold tightly to a previous impression of a person, then they lose the ability to impress you. If they do something new and awesome, then you will be stuck feeling sour that you were wrong about them instead of being happy for their accomplishments. These skills are especially important in long term relationships, like with family members. These are the people that you will see the most overall

change in. Many friendships can become faulty because you thought you knew someone, and now they have angered you by changing and proving you wrong. The good news is that despite the saying about first impressions, a well developed relationship lets us continue to discover each other. People change and grow, and relationships should follow suit. They key to successfully getting to know someone is accepting that you will never completely finish. Chloe Kincaid is a student at Soldotna High School.

High school classes increasingly blend in technology By MATTHEW SANTONI Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

PITTSBURGH — As homeroom ended Thursday morning, students in Shaler Area High School’s Academy program sat down for math lessons at their laptop computers, watching video lectures or taking quizzes for one of four or five math courses. Teacher Nicole Kutzner watched on her laptop as sophomore Logan Pegher took a geometry quiz, seeing which questions took more time and

stepping over to help. “If I need help, she helps us,” said ninth-grader Charlotte Zimmerman of Shaler, who was watching a video lecture at the desk next to Logan. “It helps a lot. Last year, I failed, and this year I’m getting mostly ‘B’s and ‘A’s.” The Academy, which blends oneon-one instruction with online lessons tailored to each student, is helping the district with students who otherwise would be at risk of dropping out of a regular class. With the laptops, stu-

dents at different grade levels and taking different courses work independently, then can break into groups or talk to teachers about their work. Shaler’s approach is one of several versions of “blended classrooms” that Pittsburgh area schools are adopting, in which online lectures and course work are mixed with classroom time to provide more flexibility and opportunity than traditional classes. Shaler, Upper St. Clair and North Hills School District were recognized by the Blended Schools Network C

last year for the ways they’ve used a blended classroom approach. Blended learning describes any approach that uses technology and online lessons to expand the brick-and-mortar classroom, said Jed Friedrichson, Blended Schools Network CEO. Friedrichson founded Blended Schools as a nonprofit in Pennsylvania 12 years ago, but sold it to a holding company that moved the headquarters to Austin and made it a for-profit company last year. The company provides class materials and professional cours-

es to develop a blended approach, along with software platforms for delivering the lessons. The 15 to 20 students at the Shaler Area Academy might have had issues with attendance, anxiety in large social settings, or issues at home that make it harder for them to concentrate in a traditional classroom, said high school Assistant Principal JoAnne Townsend. Usually, they would have been candidates for after-school learning programs, but those were cut three years ago.

Shoeless dad wants slippers inside his daughters’ homes DEAR ABBY: We have a couple of daughters who have told us we must take off our shoes if we visit them (and our beautiful grandchildren). Although I’m not sure of their reasons for this, I do know for sure that we have never tracked any kind of dirt into their house when we visited. In fact, our shoes are always clean. I have very sensitive feet. I cannot even walk outside barefoot. On top of that, my feet get cold if they aren’t covered. I have always worn house slippers at home if I didn’t have shoes on. In a discussion with my wife, I suggested that their request was both inconsiderate and disrespectful. I also said they should provide alternatives to shoes for visitors if they expect guests to remove their shoes. What is the proper etiquette in a situation like this? — COLD FEET IN IOWA DEAR COLD FEET: A person does not have to track “dirt” into a house to carry germs on the soles of one’s shoes. If guests have walked on a sidewalk or driveway where someone has walked a dog or spat, then I can see why a parent might want shoes removed if children play on

the floor. Good manners in a case like this would be to cheerfully cooperate with your hosts and, if slippers are not provided, to bring a pair over that you can leave for the next time you visit. It’s a small price to pay for spending time with your beautiful grandchildren.

Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: We have a 27-year-old nephew who lives at home with his parents. He is a good guy, but he doesn’t drive. He has no physical or mental impairments that we are aware of, and all of his numerous family members have offered to teach him. But his nonchalant attitude toward learning has made everyone give up. We live in a big city with poor public transportation, and his job is far from home. Catching the bus to work is unsafe and takes hours, and daily cab fare

solution to a problematic situation. You could be unsure about what to think as you hear others’ different ideas. Try to be less spontaneous right now. Tonight: Vanish. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be thinking about how you might want to present a new idea. The words one chooses often tend to be more important than the idea itself. Some people can’t seem to get past the words. Be smart. Present a winning idea like it’s already won. Tonight: Hang with friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You are in the limelight, and you’ll sparkle accordingly. You might not be aware of how much someone else listens to you and is able to respond with equally exciting statements. This person has an extraordinary imagination. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Reach out for more information, especially if you feel as if someone’s statement is incomplete. Try to look at the matter from a detached perspective. Someone who cares a lot about you will come through at the last minute. Tonight: Don’t trigger a reaction. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Deal with a loved one directly. This person will appreciate the attention and the way you interact with him or her. An associate in your daily life might irritate you with an obscure thought. Be polite and listen anyway. Tonight: Chat over dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Others come forward, as they

isn’t cost effective. We know his parents aren’t happy transporting him back and forth, and we think they need to push him toward more independence. His social life is limited to family events, and dating is out of the question. We worry about what will happen as his parents are getting older, and none of us plan on assuming the responsibility of transporting him. Any suggestions? — CONCERNED AUNT IN FLORIDA DEAR CONCERNED AUNT: How do you know the parents aren’t happy about transporting him? Have they said it? If so, the next time they vent, tell them you’re concerned about their son and why. He may have additional problems that you are unaware of. He may simply be a late bloomer or have no incentive to be independent because his parents are happy with him snug in their nest. However, if this is the elephant in the room that no one — including the parents — wants to acknowledge, keep mum because if you don’t, you will be resented for it. Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Jan. 26, 2015: This year you have a strong sense of direction, and you tend to command others’ attention and respect. Your home and domestic life will become far more important than in the past. You also might develop a home-based business. If you are single, it will become clear that you won’t need to maintain that status. Someone quite special could enter your life sometime soon. If you are attached, your significant other demands a lot of your time. Make it your pleasure. Be careful not to overspend and make an impulse purchase. TAURUS is as stubborn as you are. 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 are likely to indulge a loved one. At the same time, you might want to share a master plan that you would like to try out. Take into consideration the temperament of the person you choose to share with. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHHYou’llemergefromtheweekend willing to greet whatever heads your way. Someone could drop by or email you with an idea that will be nothing less than inspirational. You might want to say less and listen to others’ first impressions. Tonight: Wish upon a star. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might not feel like your usual sociable self. Make that OK. Pull back and try to find the right

have a lot to share. You could be questioning the pros and cons of going along with someone else’s idea. Sometimes you need to have this person take the lead; otherwise, he or she might not feel good about relating to you. Tonight: Say “yes.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You are likely to trudge into the day with the mentality of “same old, same old.” Of all the signs, you have the best ability to spice up life, so why aren’t you doing so? Make a point of not holding back. Tonight: Just be yourself! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHSomeonemightwanttoshare more news, but you’ll need to be up for it. This person could be a child or new friend. You will need to state your limits or time constraints before you give in to his or her whimsical needs. Tonight: Let the party go on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might feel worn out by what is happening around you. It wouldn’t be inappropriate to consider taking the day off. Stay focused, and understand your limits and needs. You will be more resilient and responsive if you take a break. Tonight: Don’t stray too far from home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Focus on one thing at a time. You could be unusually tired and/ or withdrawn. Know that you don’t need to share everything that is on your mind. Listen to what others are saying. The conversation could trigger a wild idea. Tonight: Chat with a pal.

Where Did the Vacuum Bags Go? Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about vacuums: “My friends and I would like to know why vacuum-cleaner bags have disappeared. How could anyone think that dumping dirt and clouds of filth into a clean wastebasket, then dealing with it a second time, is a step up from neat disposable bags? These bags can be placed in the garbage without sending clouds of dust back into the room.” — F.M., Fayetteville, Ark. Someone did, and he or she probably doesn’t even vacuum! I have three different brands and types of vacuums, plus three “robotic” ones, and I dislike the bagless upright the most. Gee, maybe the manufacturers thought it was a good idea that the consumer can see the dirt? That we don’t have to buy vacuum bags? What if you live in an apartment? There is no garage to dump the dirt out from the vacuum canister. — Heloise P.S.: There is one exception in my household: I love my robotic vacuums! I just set “Zumba 1” in a room and let it do its job.
