Gov. looks at dip into savings

In pursuit of pollock

Walker says he’s bothered by the budget By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

Despite more than thirty years of fishing around Alaska, Kasilof fisherman Rob Nelson had never let out a net hoping to catch pollock before December. But the long-time seiner has been learning how to catch the groundfish

in Kachemak Bay as part of an experimental fishery this winter. In most of Alaska, pollock are caught by trawlers. But Nelson and other fishermen are hoping that seines could provide a way to safely catch the fish, without worrying about bycatch. Seining is “one of the better methods to release anything undesirable that you do catch,” he said, because fish

are alive until they’re hauled on deck. Each day of fishing is a learning experience, he said January 11 while making his fifth pollock trip since the experimental fishery opened December 1. “It’s a big learning experience for everyone, really,” he said. Even finding the fish can be a challenge. During the winter, fish seem to

slide back into deep areas. In the summer, they’re often in shallower waters and near the beaches. “With salmon you see them jump, and herring sort of school,” he said. But there’s no indication of where pollock are, he said. Time of day and tide seem to influence the pollock, he said. See POLLOCK, page A-2

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Even with the budget cuts proposed by Gov. Bill Walker for next year, the state will still face the potential of having to draw on $3.3 billion from its savings, his budget director said Friday. Pat Pitney said the state needs to reduce its budget responsibly and not rush into cuts that could be devastating. “This is step one,” Pitney told the House Finance Committee, saying the cuts proposed are less than a quarter of the 25 percent target that Walker asked departments to look at over a four-year period. Alaska faces projected deficits of at least $3.5 billion this year and next amid the plunge in oil prices. It is seen as virtually impossible for cuts alone to fill those gaps. In a State of the Budget speech Thursday night, Walker proposed cutting $550 million in unrestricted general spending next year. He called for looking at what the right size of government should be, with an eye toward future agency cuts and greater creativity in how the state delivers services. Walker suggested privatizing services, but he said Friday that he raised that idea more as an option to consider rather than having anything specific in mind. The governor also said he has asked Revenue Commissioner Randall Hoffbeck to look at different types of investment possibilities, but Hoffbeck said there are just ideas being discussed right now.

Kenai considers ending Kenai prepares for its library commission personal-use marijuana Group has no quorum, rejects or stalls new members Police chief presents on issues with implementation By BEN BOETTGER Peninsula Clarion

After the success of the Kenai Public Library’s 2011 expansion project, during which the library moved into the building it currently occupies, the seven members of the city’s library commission felt a loss

unable to reach a quorum — the number of members required to be present at a meeting in order to vote on decisions. According to Joiner, the departing commission members said there was “a lack of real challenges,” and that “the work of the commission has been diminished, as evidenced by the successful completion of the recent library expansion project.” Joiner said that when the commission was unable to find replacements for the departing members, it began meeting quarterly, rather than monthly. The lack of issues to discuss was just as detrimental as a lack of members. “What it’s down to is reviewing policies,” Joiner said. “Not necessarily because we need to, but because it’s something we can do.

. . . Pollock Continued from page A-1

They’re less active than salmon, so more prone to be carried by the current. That day, his first haul returned just a few hundred pounds of pollock. Nelson said the tide seemed different than usual, perhaps pushing the fish in an unusual pattern. Typically, Nelson uses a fish finder to help him locate the pollock. That sends an echo down, and shows individual fish and schools on a screen he can monitor while driving the boat. When he’s fishing for herring, Nelson said it will show what direction the school is moving. That morning, the ones he could see were swimming deeper than 100 feet. But not every fish shows up on the finder. His best haul of the day came after few had shown on the radar. In addition to his equipment, Nelson had a little extra help finding pollock during the opener. A voice coaxed him into moving away from his position. “Right over here, closer to Derrick,” said Jake Gregory Bosick and Derek Ball load pollock into fish totes after hauling in a tow onboard the Weiss, the only other participant in the fishery.

CLARION

Clarification A story published in the Jan. 11 Clarion regarding a conviction reversed by the Court of Appeals contained incorrect information. The case involved the theft of items from Fred Meyer. The conviction was reversed not because of a store promotion that would have lowered the cost of the items enough to change the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor, but because the trial judge did not provide the jury with an instruction defining “market value.” The store discount was used by the defense as an example of how market value might be different than the sticker price of the items, and the example was cited in the Court of Appeals decision. The Court of Appeals found that the trial judge’s failure to instruct the jury on the definition of market value deprived the accused of a fair trial and granted a new trial.

Although the federal managers have not yet made a final decision on how or if to rationalize the gulf, fishery participants in 2013 asked the state to consider how it will respond, and the state’s Board of Fisheries created a pollock working group to look at the issue. In February, the work group will meet in Anchorage to discuss the experimental fisheries so far and whether providing state-waters pollock fishing opportunity could be practical. Federal management isn’t the only reason Cook Inlet fishermen are interested in the new fishery. Nelson grew up on Kachemak Bay, and over the last several decades, he’s seen a shift in area. When he was a kid, salmon and shellfish were more predominant than they are now. “30 years ago, there weren’t really any pollock here in the bay,” Nelson said. The largest concentrations of pollock started showing up 10 years ago, and in the last five years, he said, there are so many that “you can’t

shake ‘em fast enough when fishing for kings.”

Developing markets

Finding the fish and figuring out where to catch them is not the only challenge in the fishery. Nelson has also been trying to develop sources to sell them to. “We’ve got a handful of markets we’re exploring,” he said. On the first trip of the new year, Jan. 11, Nelson was catching pollock for two bait markets. “New automatic longline systems are loving pollock,” Nelson said. That day, it was all delivered to The Auction Block in Homer for custom processing, where it would be separated by size for the two different bait markets. At other times during the season, he’ll also sell pollock to a processor in Seward that uses it for fillets, and to South Korea, where the fish is desirable fresh and unprocessed. That’s one of the more complicated markets. After the fish is caught in Kachemak Bay, the shipment has to go through a customs process in South Korea before it gets passed along for sale. That can take from three days to a week, he said. Molly Dischner writes about state and federal fisheries. Contact her at mollydischner@yahoo. com.

Mary Winsor Ford Mary Winsor Ford, longtime Kenai resident, passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2015 at her daughter’s home in Nipomo, California. She was 93. Mary and her husband, George Ford, moved to Kenai in 1975 when George became Plant Manager at Nikiski’s Collier Plant, later Unocal. Mary quickly became part of the Kenai community when she walked across the street from their temporary housing to the local newspaper office and applied for a job. She was hired by the Peninsula Clarion, and soon became the editor of the Outdoors Page, which began years of fascinating photos and stories of Alaska that educated readers and Mary herself over the years. Mary was an accomplished reporter, photographer, historian and artist. Her many talents were enjoyed for the next three decades by readers of the Clarion, the Kenai Visitors’ Guide, and the popular history books, “Once Upon the Kenai” and “The Road We’ve Traveled.” Mary was instrumental in the collection, editing and physical pasting-up of those anthologies, and was a backbone of the oral history collection in the mid-nineties, the statewide Communities of Memory storytelling project sponsored by the Alaska Humanities Forum. Mary’s motto was “bloom where you are planted.” She not only bloomed, but encouraged those around her to blossom as well. She helped start the Kenai PEO chapter, and she wrote and produced newsletters for Rotary, Aura (Alaska Unocal Retirees Association) and the Kenai Historical Society. Her careful attention to detail, her interest in the human and natural history around her, her quiet grace and whimsical sense of fun will all be part of her lasting legacy. A showcase of her work is planned for this summer in Kenai. Mary is survived by her daughter, Lois Anne Ford of Nipomo, California; son and daughter-in-law Larry and Carol Ford of Nikiski; grandson Ethan and wife Marian Ford and great-granddaughter Lillian of Homer; grandson Alden Ford of Brooklyn, New York; two brothers, their wives, and many nieces and nephews. Mary did not want a memorial service. If you would like to give a gift in her name, the family encourages a donation to the Kenai Historical Society or the Kenai PEO chapter.

Feds leave rural areas in a bind over forest funds Money doesn’t grow on trees, nor have

timber sales grown with them. Unfortunately for rural communities near land owned by the federal government — the combination will be particularly destructive to budgets in the coming year. At the end of the year in 2014, Congress decided not to fund Secure Rural Schools — a program that provided more than $270 million to nearly 730 counties in 2013. The money is meant to offset a lack of funds in communities where a large proportion of the land is owned by the federal government. Local governments and communities cannot collect taxes on federal land. The federal government owns nearly 43 percent of the land in the Kenai Peninsula Borough, according to borough figures. For 100 years, the federal government shared revenue from its timber harvests, but when those harvests began to decline, Congress passed the Secure Rural Schools and Community SelfDetermination Act of 2000. The act provided payments — based on years with high timber harvests — to counties and schools in 42 states. Because Congress didn’t fund the program, communities will revert back to the 1908 act, which will provide significantly lower funding than the Secure Rural Schools act. In Alaska, this means that instead of the $14,245,000 that the state received in 2014, the state will get $535,200. On the Kenai Peninsula, in 2014 the borough got $676,602 from Secure Rural Schools payments, or about 4.75 percent of the state’s total funding. If that funding mechanism stays the same, that means the borough will get just over $25,000. Fortunately the Kenai Peninsula Borough isn’t in a position to have to budget for the funds and Craig Chapman, finance director, told the Clarion earlier this week that the borough’s budget leaves room for the possibility that the payments may not come. Still, the lack of funding is bound to tighten budgets at a time when they’re already snug — especially in a state so dependent on revenue from natural resources. It is frustrating that funding for a program that communities largely use to fund rural schools and roads could be cut. As far as entitlement programs go, this one seems like a fair trade for those living near a vast area of natural resources that communities are unable to exploit because the federal government controls them. The Secure Rural Schools funding has a disproportionate impact on the rural communities in Alaska and while the Kenai Peninsula Borough may have a more diverse revenue stream than its hyper-rural counterparts, we’re sure to feel the impact of those cuts somewhere. Where is the borough supposed to go for a tax base to supplement those funds when the government that owns the lands is deaf to the needs of those who need them the most? If Congress isn’t going to ensure that forested communities have the revenue they need to fund schools and roads, it shouldn’t deprive them of the ability to fund those projects by barring active management of the land surrounding them.

Protecting salmon in a changing climate

The National Weather Service reports that 2014 was Alaska’s warmest year on record. Even with record-breaking temperatures occurring all across the state, I see climate change getting framed as an “Arctic” issue. For example, at the November transition conference, the Walker-Mallott transition team established 17 topics for discussion, including fisheries, wildlife, natural resources, subsistence and infrastructure, but climate change was only coupled with Arctic Policy. Certainly, unique and imminent climate-related threats face the Arctic region and its communities, and it’s no surprise national attention focuses on the Arctic as new shipping and drilling opportunities emerge with melting sea ice. Alaskans, however, know that rapid change is not just happening in the Arctic. I study water temperature patterns in salmon streams around Southcentral Alaska. I want to know what will happen as our salmon find themselves in increasingly hot water. Because high temperatures cause stress in cold-water fish, climate change poses a direct threat to our wild salmon by making them more vulnerable to pollution, predation and disease. Not all streams are created equal — and thank goodness. Some will remain as important cold water habitats supporting healthy salmon populations for generations to come, but other streams are warming and will continue to do so until salmon runs fail. Successful resource management requires that our state biologists know which streams are which. In Alaska, we are starting to take the steps necessary to generate the kind of data needed to understand how vulnerable Alaska’s salmon populations are to climate

With the shift in the U.S. Senate following the mid-term elections, federal support for climate-related research will be under attack. The need for state leadership has never been more important. The Walker-Mallott Administration has a full plate with budget cuts, transition tasks and new appointments. Unfortunately, the urgency of addressing climate change — both its root causes and its impacts — does not abate while people are distracted with new office assignments. We need Gov. Bill Walker to re-establish the Sub-Cabinet on Climate Change that languished under former Gov. Sean Parnell’s administration to guide state-specific policies and decisions. We need to do more than fill the one “state agency” seat on federally-coordinated committees. We need engagement across our state agencies and discussions among our commissioners. Why should the state of Alaska prioritize this now? Because Alaskans living in every corner of the state are marching forward at a recordbreaking pace to the front lines of a changing landscape.

change impacts. We have a long way to go and salmon are just one of many economically important species of concern on a changing landscape. Studies from across Alaska continue to roll in, documenting climate-related shifts in wildfires and insect infestations, increasing rates of glacial melt and wetland drying, and less sea ice, snow cover and permafrost. We are just beginning to understand what these trends might mean for subsistence, agriculture, fisheries, tourism and the long-term viability of our fossil fuel-based state budget. Research and knowledge about the local effects of climate change (above and below the Arctic Circle) will be critical for all our policy makers and resource managers in the face of rapidly changing conditions. I’m heartened by Mark Myers’ appointment as Alaska’s new commissioner for the Department of Natural Resources.

Churchill: A man for all times LONDON — It is an old debating point: Do the times make the man, or does the man make the times? In the case of Winston Churchill, whose death 50 years ago Saturday the British are remembering with more than nostalgia, it is both. The times in Churchill’s case were both World War I, in which he served as a battalion commander, and World War II, which he helped win for Britain and America. By the standard he set, all political leaders since — with the possible exception of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan — are mere pygmies. Yet, even they pale in his shadow. No one else can touch Churchill for his vision, leadership and most of all persistence. Like Babe Ruth who struck out a lot, but who also hit many home runs, Churchill “struck out” more than once, but his successes far outweigh and overwhelm his failures. London Mayor Boris Johnson has written a wonderful book called “The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History.” Not only did Churchill make history, he bent it to his will and still today embodies the classic definition of a leader. He had many contemporary enemies and there are those in Britain who still believe he was too full of himself and that many of his ideas were ill conceived. Yet, his achievements were so momentous those voices get little attention outside academic circles and left-wing media who have forgotten how to fight and win wars.

Churchill had a way with words that conveyed great truths and necessarily stirred the hearts of his countrymen. Probably his best-known words were uttered after the RAF defended Britain from bombings Cal Thomas by the German Luftwaffe: “Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few.” In 1942, following the Allied victory near the Egyptian coastal city of El Alamein, which marked a turning point in the Western desert campaign, Churchill said: “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” Churchill wrote, spoke and did things that endure. What modern politician can match his clarity of thought, writings and voracious reading? His 1946 “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, foresaw the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Of the man, Boris Johnson writes, “... you are acutely aware of being chained to a genius, and a genius of unbelievable energy and fecundity.” Churchill, notes Johnson, “produces more published works than Shakespeare and Dickens combined, wins the Nobel Prize for literature, kills umpteen people in

armed conflict on four continents, serves in every great office of state, including prime minister (twice), is indispensible to victory in two world wars and then posthumously sells his paintings for a million dollars.” Churchill had a far less than ideal upbringing. His father, Randolph, mostly rejected him and gave him, not love, but criticism; his mother pushed him but was often preoccupied with a series of men not her husband; he was small and often the object of bullying, but he overcame it all through the force of his ego, strong will and persistence (“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” I recall the TV coverage of his 1965 state funeral. Thousands lined London streets. Dockworkers lowered their cranes in tribute as his body was borne down the River Thames on a barge. Churchill was more than a leader for his time. He was a man for all time; a man for all seasons, as Robert Bolt titled his play about Sir Thomas More. Johnson concludes his book: “There has been no one remotely like him before or since.” The world is the worse for it. Email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com.

. . . Budget Continued from page A-1

Walker, who took office last month, told reporters Friday that he is uncomfortable with having the state live off its savings. “I look at it from this standpoint: Every three or four days, we could have built a new school. That’s what we’re doing at $10 million a day that we draw down on our savings,” he said, adding later: “That’s the part that haunts me and caused me to take some pretty strong steps on the financial side, because I don’t like drawing down our savings at $10 million a day. How many miles of roads could we have built?” Walker referred to the state’s budget situation as dire but has cautioned against panic. Depending on spending and oil prices and production, the constitutional budget reserve fund could last until the early 2020s or be gone in the next couple years.

The state is pursuing a major liquefied natural gas project that is seen by many as the next best shot that oil-dependent Alaska has for significant new revenues. Pitney said different financing options for the gas project were under consideration. Walker reiterated his commitment to the project Friday, saying that if anything, he would like to accelerate progress. He noted that his license plates say AKLNG. House Finance Committee co-chair Steve Thompson, R-Fairbanks, has said other sources of revenue, including possibly taxes, should be part of the budget conversation now. Walker said he thinks Alaskans want the state to get its financial house in order first. The administration has released a broad-strokes overview of the budget, which Pitney went over with the Senate and House Finance committees Friday. Greater detail is expected soon from the departments on specific areas of proposed cuts. In analyzing agency cuts, the

“There are unknowns as to... what holes there might be in (state) regulations that will require us on the local level to pass our own laws.” Sandahl said one such “hole” in the Colorado regulations was butane hash oil extraction. Although this subject is not addressed in Colorado’s state-level marijuana law, it is controlled or forbidden under local laws in different areas of Colorado. Sandahl said that such openings also existed in Alaska’s state-level marijuana law, and he would look to the city council to resolve them. “I still have some unknowns that I need to clarify with various sources in Alaska, with the city attorney, as to how enforcement is going to occur,” San-

dahl said. “For example, violations of public consumption of marijuana in the city. I’m going to need to be able to guide our officers appropriately, and of course we’ll want to inform the public.” Bloom said that while Kenai would not be able to bring new ordinances into effect before Feb. 24, the city needed to make decisions about how to enforce the state law. These include a clarification of the ban on marijuana use in public places, and a decision of how to exact the penalty that ballot measure two set for public consumption, which includes a fee of up to $100 and a mandatory court appearance.

We usually have a list of goals and objectives for the year, but they’ve been pretty static in the nine years since I’ve been here.” The commission last met in August 2014. At a November city council meeting, Kenai mayor Pat Porter raised the idea of ending the library commission. On December 10, 2014, recently retired Kenai resident Bob McIntosh applied for a seat on the library commission. “I kind of figured that I wouldn’t get on the library commission, because the library’s so great, they’ve done such a great job that they must have it totally filled and operating functionally,” McIntosh said. Another surprise followed soon after, when he discovered that the council was considering ending the library commission. “My first reaction was, ‘wait, that’s people’s input to their government.’ Why would they get rid of that?” McIntosh said. In a December 30, 2014 memo to the library commis-

During the following discussion of the council, Bloom elaborated on the problems each of these decisions will entail. “I’m not sure that there’s a good working definition of ‘public’,” Bloom said. Council member Terry Bookey pointed out that alcohol regulations also prohibited public consumption, and asked Bloom how that law defined “public.” Bloom said that the definition in alcohol policy would not be sufficient for marijuana. “I think that marijuana requires a more specific definition,” Bloom said, “as well as a different consideration in that if I’m drinking a beer next to you, you’re not going to get any of

sion, Joiner asked whether its members “would support the Mayor’s suggestion to ‘sunset’ the library commission and perhaps devote (their) time and effort to help the library through joining the Board of the Friends of the Library.” In subsequent emails to city management, each of the three commissioners supported the idea. The Friends of the Kenai library is a 501-C3 nonprofit organization, independent of the city council and the library commission, dedicated to fundraising for the Kenai library. According to a December 30 memo, Joiner said that the Friends were experiencing “the same attrition” as the commission in the aftermath of the successful expansion project. She said it would be beneficial to both organizations if they merged. McIntosh disagrees. One of the duties of the library commission named in the Kenai city code is to “serve as the liaison between the public and the City Council in regards to library service.” “They are two different organizations,” McIntosh said of the library commission and the Friends of the Library. “They perform two different functions. The advisory func-

tion that’s set up under law for the commission will cease to exist.” McIntosh said he has not yet been interviewed for the position. Prior to McIntosh, the most recent applicant to the commission was Christine Hutchinson, who submitted an application in 2014 and was appointed by mayor Porter. The council voted not to confirm her appointment during their meeting on October 15, 2014. In an open letter to the city council, McIntosh pointed out that the appointment of either himself or Hutchinson would have made the commission functional by giving it its required quorum. Porter said that Mr. McIntosh’s appointment would not solve the commission’s problems. “The reason Mr. McIntosh’s name has not come forward is because we need to solve this issue first,” said Porter. “Even if you had another commissioner on there, you would need to guarantee that everyone showed up, or you still wouldn’t have a quorum. We’ve had lack of interest from anyone to participate. I think that comes from lack of agenda items.” McIntosh said he had plans for renewing the membership of the commission.

Also, I don’t think that what we’re going to see from the state will allow marijuana smoking in a bar, whereas you can drink in a bar.” The mandatory court appearance required for public consumption violations was also discussed. “If Gus (Sandahl) gives a ticket (for public marijuana consumption), that person can’t just come pay the ticket,” said Bloom. “They have to go to court no matter what, because there’s not a set bail schedule.” He suggested that the coun-

cil establish a set fine amount to expedite the enforcement process. In addition, Bloom said he was working with city human resources manager Christine Cunningham to revise the city’s marijuana policy for its employees. “It would normally be covered as a controlled substance, and I’m not sure that’s appropriate anymore,” Bloom said. Council members discussed other possible subjects of marijuana-related legislation, such as establishing a per-household limit on the number of personal use marijuana plants, and regulations of butane hash oil extraction. Although discussed,

“There’s ways that we can get out there,” McIntosh said. “People we can contact. A lot of homeschoolers in the area. We could say, ‘look, here’s a library. What can we do for your home school organization? If you want to do that, why don’t you get on the commission here?’” In addition to home school groups, McIntosh said that he would reach out to residents of Nikiski who use the Kenai library. “I think they’ve looked at this and said ‘let’s shut it down because we can’t fix it.’ I think we can fix it,” McIntosh said. Porter intends to introduce an ordinance to retire the library commission at the city council’s next meeting on February 4. She said that McIntosh’s suggestions were not a consideration in deciding whether or not to end the commission. “He hasn’t come up with any agenda items that I know of,” Porter said. “He would like to see himself appointed. At this point, our council needs to make a decision on whether or not we want to continue the library commission as it is today.” Reach Ben Boettger at ben. boettger@peninsulaclarion. com

the council deemed these issues less urgent than the priority decisions recommended by Bloom. Bloom and other members of the city of the city administration are currently developing proposals for the city council to vote on. Other events at the city council meeting included a favorable report on the city’s investments from managers Alaska Permanent Capital Management, appropriations for airport security cameras, the awarding of a contract for playground equipment for the municipal park, and the adjustment of city animal control fees to allow microchipping of shelter animals.

Alaska

Couple taps into passion for viny at new Anchorage record store MEGAN EDGE Alaska Dispatch News

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — On a dark January evening, the Black Keys’ album “Brother” spun on a turntable inside the newly established Obsession Records shop off Tudor Road in Anchorage. A steady flow of customers thumbed their way through the stacks, arranged in plywood bins against a backdrop of vibrant orange walls. Shop owner Steve Haynes visited with customers, offering to carry their armloads of vinyl to the front counter as they continued to shop. His wife, Verna, eventually joined him and took a seat behind the till. The Anchorage couple’s new business is part of an industry hit hard by the digital age in the late 1990s. But in the last two years, the music industry reportedly began to recover, with vinyl sales included. In 2012 sales were up for first time since 1999, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which analyzes the global market. Steve and Verna said they’ve both seen music shops in Anchorage struggle. When asked about the outlook of their business they were not overly opti-

mistic. “So vinyl sales are up? And they are, but in the big scheme of things, when you’re looking at the music industry as a whole record sales are a very small fraction,” Steve said. But the couple said their business, which opened its doors in early December, is doing better than either of them imagined. And so far, they’ve done it without any paid advertising, counting solely on word of mouth and Facebook. “We make ends meet and we get rent paid, but so far there hasn’t been a ton of money in this,” Steve said. Customers of all ages visit the shop, “young-adult and up,” they said. A middle-aged couple with grown children of their own, they said it’s too early to call their new business a “retirement plan” or even to predict how long they’ll be able to keep the doors open. They didn’t get into it “to become millionaires,” Verna said, and right now they just want to be able to keep the store open. For them, Verna said, the store is more of a labor of love. “Music is fun,” Verna said, as she sat behind the till. “We are not record snobs. We don’t care who comes in, they could

be new to collecting vinyls or have complete records collections. We just want to share the music.” The shop sells the classics -- The Beatles, The Doors, The Police, Johnny Cash -- but they also sell an occasional Alaska vinyl, more recent artists like Blink 182 and Daft Punk, and movie soundtracks. Steve said he has several different avenues for finding records, but he didn’t want to reveal his secrets. His personal collection includes about 17,000 records, many of which have ended up in the store’s inventory. Opening the shop is part of his record purge to make space for new vinyl at home. Steve also orders a smaller variety of new music. “Him and I collect records very differently,” Verna said. “I have this small little stack, and those are what I like and I can listen to them over and over again. He actually has record collections, though. I don’t chase records. And I don’t need to collect things just to have them. I have done that before.” A majority of the records Steve sells are in good condition. A few might be a little dusty, but Steve and Verna offer to clean them before bands,

GOP candidate possibilities pitch ideas at forum THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press

DES MOINES, Iowa — The robust Christian right in earlyvoting Iowa plays an outsize role in helping determine the Republican presidential nominee, a political reality not lost on the parade of would-be 2016 candidates trying to draw attention at a Saturday gathering of social conservatives. Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, former Govs. Rick Perry of Texas and Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and many others turned the Iowa Freedom Forum into the unofficial launch of the next campaign for the Iowa caucuses. More than 1,000 religious conservatives met at a refurbished theater to hear them pitch their policies and their values. Christie may have had the most to gain — or lose — from appearing at the forum. Considered a moderate in some GOP circles and a party establish-

such as The Who, walk out the door in the arms of a new owner. “The condition is the No. 1 thing I look at,” Steve said. “The next thing I look at is rarity. If the record is dinged up, but there was only a couple hundred copies, it’s worth more and I might buy it.” Steve got back into the recordcollecting business for the same reason many have in the last few years. It’s the classic tale of going digital, only to lose all your music because of a computer crash, which happened to Steve about six years ago, he said. “When that happened I pulled out my old CDs and a lot of them were trashed from being in the car or whatever, so I start-

ment choice in others, the New Jersey governor tried to connect with grass-roots conservative activists by assuring them that trust is more important than total agreement. “If you want a candidate who agrees with you 100 percent of the time, I’ll give you a suggestion: Go home and look in the mirror. You are the only person you agree with 100 percent of the time,” he said. “You’ll always know who I am, you’ll always know what I believe and you’ll always know where I stand.” To back up his conservative credentials, Christie proclaimed his opposition to gay marriage and abortion rights. He also rejected the idea that Republicans could be competitive in traditionally Democratic states by abandoning opposition to abortion rights. “And I’m living proof,” he said. In his remarks, Cruz cited the Bible as he challenged caucus participants to back only presidential candidates with

a proven conservative track record. “You know what,” he said, “talk is cheap. The word tells us you shall know them by their fruits ... Look every candidate in the eye and say ‘Don’t talk, show me.’” While he criticized President Barack Obama’s foreign policy and other actions, Huckabee warned about the dangers of intraparty fighting. “We don’t need to spend the next two years beating each other up in the conservative tent. We need to tell America what’s right with this country,” he said. Perry also pointed to the end of the Obama administration: “I got a feeling that after six years of disappointment, of mediocrity and decline, a slow course correction is not what voters are going to be looking for in 2016.” Walker promoted his administration’s enactment of voter identification, concealed carry handgun and abortion restriction legislation — all red-meat issues to the conservative audi-

ed thinking about vinyl again,” Steve said. Steve got a phone call from a family member, which resulted in the start of his collection, thanks to some garage sale vinyl. Steve has a sense of connection with his records, making “Obsession Records” all the more fitting as a business name. Verna chuckled at the thought of some of his reactions when it came time to say goodbye to his records. There is still work to be done on the shop. They’d like to add posters to the walls and make a space for local musicians to play, but it’s still a work in progress, they said. Right now, shops hours are limited. They have day jobs and only operate the store from 5 to 8 p.m. during the week, with longer hours on the weekends. By the end of the interview,

the Haynes had listened to both sides of the “Brothers” album and a St. Paul and the Broken Bones record — which Steve told a customer he’d recently discovered. It has a Motown sound to it and is the kind of music that makes people move. “Music just feels good,” Verna said. “It feels really good and it’s fun. And I don’t want to just leave these piled up at home. We really want to share it because its music and you should share music.”

ence. For many Republicans, he is best known for beating back a recall effort and then winning re-election. “You see, I think that sends a powerful message to Republicans in Washington and around the country that if you’re not afraid to go big and go bold you can actually get results,” Walker said. Rick Santorum, the former senator from Pennsylvania who won the 2012 Iowa caucuses, said the GOP needs to do a better job convincing working Americans that Republicans are on their side. “We don’t win because too many people don’t think we care about them. We have to show them not just by saying we do, but by having policies and a message where they can see it and feel it in us,” Santorum said as he called for lower taxes, less regulation and stronger family values. The forum’s sponsor, Rep. Steve King of Iowa, opened the event by asking the crowd, “Do you believe that the next president of the United States is going to be speaking to you today?” The audience erupted in applause and King responded, “As do I.” Among others speaking at the forum were businesswoman Carly Fiorina, Dr. Ben Carson, former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump. Missing were two possible candidates considered leading contenders for the nomination: former Florida

Gov. Jeb Bush and the party’s 2012 nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Trump let it be known that he didn’t think much of the pair. “You can’t have Romney. He choked,” Trump said. “You can’t have Bush. The last thing we need is another Bush.” In addition to Bush and Romney, also absent from the lineup were Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida. A forum by King, a hardline conservative who has been particularly vocal about opposing immigration reform, could push some would-be can-

didates further to the right than they want to go on immigration, education, foreign policy and other issues. King’s record of harsh rhetoric toward immigrants in the U.S. illegally drew protesters to his event. Several were escorted out of the forum by police after chanting “If you become president, will you deport our families?” during speeches by Perry and Christie. Amid the interruption, Christie asked the audience, “Don’t they know I’m from New Jersey?” Few political observers See GOP, page A-8

Winter’s 1st big storm leaves snow, slush covering Northeast BOSTON (AP) — Parts of the Northeast got their first real taste of winter on Saturday as a storm crawling up the coast left a slushy, snowy coating from Pennsylvania to New England, but forecasters are watching a possible second shot of snow that could affect the region early in the work week. By midday, the storm had dropped 9 inches of snow in parts of Pennsylvania and 8 inches in parts of New York, northern New Jersey and northwestern Connecticut, with widespread reports over 4 inches in inland areas across southern New England. Lighter amounts were reported in Philadelphia, New York City and Boston. The storm was expected to drop up to 8 inches in far eastern Maine before moving out late Saturday night. Numerous accidents were reported on the slick roads, but there were no major highway backups in the lighter weekend traffic. Police in Connecticut and Massachusetts were investigating the weather’s role in traffic accidents that killed two people Saturday afternoon. In suburban New York, a man chased his dog onto ice covering a lake and they both fell through it. Police used a ladder to pull the man out of Massapequa Lake to safety and rescued his shivering dog as well. The man was treated at a hospital See SNOW, page A-8

Man to run 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents KRISTIN J. BENDER

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A San Francisco man is one race away from completing seven marathons in seven days on seven continents. Tim Durbin is the only American competing in the World Marathon Challenge that started last Saturday and ends in Sydney on Friday. So far, the 31-year-old has run six marathons, each 26.2 miles, through snow, rain and jetlag in Antarctica, Chile, Miami, Madrid, Morocco and Dubai. “In the last 48 hours I’ve slept less than 9 hours and ran three marathons,” he said in an email earlier this week.

Rain and sleet mixed in with the snow in areas that saw above-freezing temperatures nearer to the coast, keeping totals down in those areas before the storm began to taper off. “It’s not really bad out there, as long as you don’t drive like a maniac,” Vernon Forrest, of Manchester, New Jersey, said while getting some coffee and

said most of his sleep has been on the airplanes between cities with a few hours spent in hotels following the races. He did have one full night of rest after running in Chile and before heading to Miami. Durbin added that the biggest challenge has been the quick turn-around times. “Twice we have done two marathons in 24 hours. Sleep deprivation will likely be a factor going forward,” he said. So far, the Morocco marathon was the toughest. He started running in Marrakech less than 7 hours after he completed the race in Spain. Durbin is averaging about 5½ hours for each 26.2-mile marathons. The race in Moroc-

co took nearly six hours. Durbin spent roughly $37,000 to participate with 11 others, who are from Brazil, India, Great Britain, Hong Kong, France, Finland and Australia. The World Marathon Challenge is part of a bigger challenge that Durbin started two years ago. In 2013, he started logging his miles for walking, running, cross country skiing and swimming in order to complete the distance around the equator — 24,901 miles before 2022. “I am just trying to prove to myself that an average person can do what most others think is impossible,” he said. “It’s a mental challenge as much as it is physical.”

He called for a second American century, where conservative economic principles and compassion meet. “We’re here to create that America,” he said. “You don’t do it by pandering. You don’t do it by telling people what they want to hear. You do it by telling them the truth.”

So just keep an eye out for slippery, slushy spots and speeding knuckleheads.” But people were urged to watch for icy roads as temperatures dropped below freezing into Sunday morning. Winds gusting to 50 mph were expected on Cape Cod and nearby islands Saturday night as the storm moves away. Another system beginning Sunday night into Monday is

expected to drop another inch or two across Pennsylvania, with a potentially bigger one behind it late Monday. “There is an increasing possibility of a significant storm late Monday night into Tuesday night,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Simpson in Taunton, Massachusetts, adding that there’s still much uncertainty this far ahead. “It’s how it evolves once it develops.” He said there is the potential that a storm moving up the East Coast could stall before it tracks out to sea, bringing high wind, heavy precipitation and the potential for coastal flooding.

Around the World Leftist party Syriza widens lead slightly in last Greek polls ahead of Sunday’s election ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Syriza, the radical left-wing party that has vowed to rewrite the terms of the country’s international bailout and end harsh austerity measures, held the lead in the last polls released ahead of Sunday’s national election. The last nine polls published on Friday — the last day of campaigning — showed Syriza’s lead over the ruling New Democracy conservatives trending upward. Syriza led by anywhere from 2.8 to 6.7 percentage points. Syriza has taken advantage of widespread discontent over an economy that has shrunk by nearly a quarter and record-high unemployment. The centrist party, To Potami, and the extreme right-wing Golden Dawn party were locked in a tight race for third place, according to the polls. But the polls also indicated that around 10 percent of the nearly 10 million voters remain undecided. There was no campaigning Saturday, a traditional “day of reflection” ahead of every election.

Japan, US condemn unverified video claiming IS captive dead, demand release of other hostage

TOKYO (AP) — Prime Minister Shinzo Abe angrily demanded Sunday that the extremist Islamic State group release a Japanese journalist it is holding hostage after a new online video purported to show that another hostage had been killed. While the Japanese government and others cast doubt on the authenticity of the video, President Barack Obama issued a statement condemning what he called “the brutal murder” of one of the hostages. His statement did not say how the United States knows that Haruna Yukawa, a 42-year-old adventurer, is dead, and the Japanese government still was trying to verify the video. Obama said in his statement that the United States will stand “shoulder to shoulder” with Japan and called for the immediate release of the second Japanese hostage, journalist Kenji Goto. Obama’s statement was issued at Ramstein Air Base in Germany as the president was en route to India for a visit. The Japanese government had no immediate comment on Obama’s statement. However, a statement issued by Abe in English and Arabic demanded the safe release only of Goto. The message in the video seen Saturday demanded a prisoner exchange for the 47-year-old Goto. But the post was deleted quickly Saturday, and militants on a website affiliated with the Islamic State group questioned its veracity.

Not Mayberry anymore’: Oil patch towns add cops, jail cells, still scramble to fight crime WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — Police chief Art Walgren knew how much the oil boom had changed this once-sleepy town when he spotted something that would have been unheard of not long ago: license plates from Sinaloa, Mexico, home to one of the world’s most violent drug cartels. Before, there was little chance police would see cars here from nearly 2,000 miles away. And little reason to worry about out-of-state plates. Now, though, police are scrambling to deal with new kinds of suspicious activity and threats that have cropped up along this frozen prairie. The gusher of oil and money flowing from the Bakken fields has made policing more demanding and dangerous, forcing small-town officers, county sheriffs and federal agents to confront everything from bar fights to far-reaching methamphetamine and heroin networks and prostitution rings operating out of motels. “It’s not Mayberry anymore,” says U.S. Attorney Tim Purdon. “Our police and prosecutors are going to have to adapt to keep pace. We have organized criminal gangs selling drugs, sex trafficking and out-of-state flim-flam men coming in. And the cases have become more and more complicated.” — The Associated Press

Rockets kill 30 in Ukrainian city as rebels launch offensive PETER LEONARD Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine — Indiscriminate rocket fire slammed into a market, schools, homes and shops Saturday in Ukraine’s southeastern city of Mariupol, killing at least 30 people, authorities said. The Ukrainian president called the blitz a terrorist attack and NATO and the U.S. demanded that Russia stop supporting the rebels. Ukrainian officials rushed to defend the strategically important port on the Sea of Azov, beefing up military positions with more equipment and sending in more forces. The separatists’ top leader declared that an offensive against Mariupol had begun — then later toned down his threats as the scale of the civilian casualties became clear. President Petro Poroshenko held an emergency meeting of his military officials and cut short a trip to Saudi Arabia to coordinate the government’s response. “The time has come to name

their sponsors. The help given to militants, weapons deliveries, equipment and the training of manpower — is this not aiding terrorism?” Poroshenko said in a recorded statement. Russia insists it does not support the rebels, but Western military officials say the sheer number of heavy weapons under rebel control belies that claim. An AP reporter saw convoys of pristine heavy weapons in rebel territory earlier this week. The rocket attacks came a day after the rebels rejected a peace deal and announced they were going on a multi-prong offensive against the government in Kiev to vastly increase their territory. The rebel stance has upended European attempts to mediate an end to the fighting in eastern Ukraine, which the U.N. says has killed nearly 5,100 people since April. Mariupol, a major city under government control, lies between mainland Russia and the Russia-annexed Crimean Peninsula. Heavy fighting in the region in the fall raised fears

that Russian-backed separatist forces would try to capture city to establish a land link between Russia and Crimea. Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said three separate strikes from Grad multiple-rocket launchers hit Mariupol and its surrounding areas Saturday. “The area that came under attack was massive,” Mariupol mayor Yuriy Khotlubei said. “The shelling was carried out by militants. This is very clearly Russian aggression that has caused terrible losses for the residents of the eastern part of our city.” The Donetsk regional government loyal to Kiev said at least 30 people — including a 15-year old girl and a five-year old boy — died in the attacks. A Ukrainian military checkpoint near the city was also hit and one serviceman was killed, the Defense Ministry said. The RIA Novosti news agency cited Ukrainian rebel leader Alexander Zakharchenko as saying an offensive had begun on Mariupol. Zakharchenko swiftly backtracked, however.

He denied that his forces were responsible for Saturday’s carnage, saying it was caused by Ukrainian error. He also said the Ukrainian defenses positions around Mariupol would be destroyed but the city itself would not be stormed. But the Organization for Security and Cooperation’s monitoring mission said the attack on Mariupol was caused by Grad and Uragan rockets fired from areas under rebel control. Rebel forces have positions 10 kilometers (six miles) from Mariupol’s eastern outskirts. On Jan. 13, a bus near an army checkpoint north of Mariupol was hit by a shell, killing 13 people, an attack Ukraine also blamed on the separatists. Yulia, a Mariupol citizen who asked that her name not be used for fear of retaliation, told The Associated Press by telephone Saturday that her stricken neighborhood had no power or heat in the middle of winter due to the attacks. Many residents had boarded up their windows, fearing shattered glass from further attacks, she said.

Around the World 1st attempt to lift fuselage of crashed AirAsia plane fails due to deflating balloons PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesian rescuers lifted the fuselage of the crashed AirAsia jetliner nearly to the water’s surface before it sank to the ocean floor again when the lifting balloons deflated Saturday, a setback in the effort to recover more of the victims’ remains. Four bodies were discovered though around the area where dozens of divers were struggling with strong current and poor visibility to prepare to retrieve the 30-meter-long wreckage, said Suryadi Bambang Supriyadi, the operations chief at the National Search and Rescue Agency. Divers reached the fuselage section for the first time on Friday and retrieved six bodies. A total of 69 bodies have now been recovered from AirAsia Flight 8501, which crashed Dec. 28 with 162 people on board while flying from Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city, to Singapore.

Obama to cut short India trip to visit Saudi Arabia to pay respects after king’s death RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany (AP) — President Barack Obama will shorten his trip to India and divert to Saudi Arabia, paying respects after the death of King Abdullah and meeting with the oil-rich nation’s new monarch, the White House said Saturday. The scheduling shift, announced just before Obama left Washington, underscores the desert kingdom’s pivotal role in U.S. policy in the Middle East, including the military campaign against the Islamic State group. Saudi Arabia’s status as one of Washington’s most important Arab allies has at times appeared to trump U.S. concerns about the terrorist funding that flows from the kingdom and about human rights abuses. — The Associated Press

Valley squads sweep SoHi By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Soldotna Stars will have to wait another game for their first conference win of the season. They gave it a good try, though, Saturday. The Colony Knights finished off the Stars in Northern Lights Conference action Saturday at Soldotna High School, getting a 48-41 win in the girls game and a 62-55 win in the boys. Both SoHi teams dropped to 0-2 in the conference. The Soldotna boys (5-7 overall) nearly toppled the Knights, making comeback after comeback throughout the game, but could not overcome 21 points from Bailey West, who shot lights out with five 3s in the game. Joe Weltzin led the Stars with 14 points, Brooks Furlong added 13 — including a perfect 5 for 5 on free

throws — but simple mistakes cost SoHi in the waning minutes. “(Colony) hit some shots and we didn’t, and it was a different tempo there at the end, we had to start fouling them,” said SoHi coach Mark Tuter. West, a 6-foot-3 junior who shoots like a guard, teamed up with Graham Dinkel and Ethan Selmer to give SoHi fits. Weltzin and Hunter Phillips attacked the key late in the game looking for shots, but the Knights forged a tough barricade. “We were planning on attacking them, going inside to see if we could get them in foul trouble,” Tuter said. “We thought Joe is a little quicker than them and he could get them in foul trouble, so that was kind of the game plan on that.” Colony coach Tom Berg was pleased to see his squad sweep the weekend and improve to 3-0 in the

conference. “Every time we come here, SoHi gives us a good run for our money,” Berg said. “I have a lot of respect for (former SoHi) coach Matt Johnson, and coach Tuter has continued it. “They play hard and they do it the right way, and we always prepare for a battle when we come down here.” Trailing 45-40 heading into the fourth quarter, SoHi quickly closed the gap to one point with jumpers from Dylan Kuntz and Nate Spence, then tied it up at 47 apiece when Phillips sank three of four free throws on a Colony technical foul. On the next SoHi possession, Weltzin gained a little free space and hit a jumper that put the Stars ahead by two with 5:59 left on the clock. Colony answered with a jumper of its own from Harrison Menard with See SOHI, page B-2

Kenai River Brown Bears’ Tyler Andrews slams Coulee Region Chill’s Richard Zehnal into the glass, causing a beer to spill, during their game Friday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex in Soldotna, Alaska.

Bears snap 14-game skid Coulee comes back Saturday to shut out Kenai River By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Coulee Region (Wisconsin) Chill have to start being more wary of rookie defensemen looking for their first career North American Hockey League goal in the waning seconds of games at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. Rookie defenseman Jack Nickels’ goal with 9.9 seconds remaining Friday broke a tie

and resulted in a 3-2 win. The win snapped a 14-game losing streak for the Bears, a stretch that had them claiming their last win on Nov. 28. The good vibes didn’t last long, however, as the Bears lost a 1-0 game Saturday to the Chill. “It was as entertaining as last night’s game, I even thought we played a better game for 60 minutes,” said Bears coach Geoff Beauparlant. “It was a fun game, just

disappointing that we didn’t get the win.” In a defensive masterpiece, Coulee Region goaltender Adam Carlson stopped all 39 shots the Bears sent his way. “You can see why he’s going to be a (Division I) goalie,” Beauparlant said. “I thought we did a great job of creating chances.” Kenai River goalie Evan Hauser’s game wasn’t too shabby either, as he saved 32 of 33 shots on goal.

Kenai River forward Maurin Bouvet had the most chances against Carlson with eight. Kenai River is 12-26-2 and did not get any help from the Minnesota Magicians in the race for the Midwest Division’s fourth and final playoff spot. The Bears are four points behind the Magicians in the race for the final playoff spot. The Chill are in third in the division at 20-12-6. See BEARS, page B-4

Davis nabs silver Staff report

Soldotna’s Cory Davis won a silver medal in the long jump competition Friday night to claim another medal at X Games Aspen. Davis, 26, had also captured the bronze in the speed-andstyle competition Thursday. Davis now has six medals total in seven years of X Games competition. Three of the medals are silver, and three are bronze.

Davis flew through the air for 160 feet, 5 inches, in the sixth round to capture second place. The top jumper was Heath Frisby of Idaho, who stayed aloft for 164-11. Colten Moore earned the bronze medal with his sled-aided leap of 157-4. This was the second-straight year Davis earned a silver medal in the long jump. The other four medals were in speed and style.

Niksiki, Seward split games on hardwood Staff report

The host Nikiski girls basketball team used a quick start to defeat Seward 50-38 in Southcentral Conference action Saturday. The Bulldogs won the first quarter 17-4 and lost the rest of the game by a point, but that hardly mattered. The shooting of Rachel Thompson got the Bulldogs out front and kept them there. She had 26 points, including four 3-pointers. Alison Litke, with

10 points, added a pair of 3s. For Seward, Jasmine Perea and Kiana Clemens each had 12 points.

The Kenai Central ski team could be seen doing a bit of everything during the recent snow drought, from bounding on Kenai Golf Course with poles to ice skating on Headquarters Lake. On Friday and Saturday in the Colony Invitational at Government Peak, it all paid off. The Kardinals were tops in both the girls and boys combined team results. The girls totaled 2 hours, 15 minutes, 47 seconds, for the victory, while Soldotna was runner-up at 2:21:15 and Homer was fifth at 2:27:36. The boys had a winning total of 2:24:45, while Grace was second at 2:27:33 and Soldotna was third at 2:28:47. Soldotna senior Sadie Fox has managed to remain one

of the state’s top prep skiers despite the dreadful practice conditions, and she proved it once again Friday and Saturday. Fox was the combined champion with a total of 30:47 in Friday’s 5K classic and Saturday’s 5K freestyle. Also in the top 10 for the Stars was Hannah Pothast in third at 32:50. Leading the way for the champion Kardinals was Addison Gibson in second at 32:00 and Alex Bergholtz in sixth at 34:01. The Kenai Peninsula also received a top 10 from Homer’s Aspen Daigle, who was ninth in 35:26. The boys did a 5K classic on Friday and a 7.5K freestyle on Saturday.

Soldotna hockey drops 2 games Staff report

The Soldotna hockey team lost a pair of games in Anchorage on Friday and Saturday. Friday, the Stars fell to East 5-2 in nonconference play. Nicholas Eddens proved to be a fly in the ointment for the Stars, as he scored four straight goals. SoHi’s tallies came from Levi Hensley and Justice Miller, while Billy Yoder stopped

27 shots for the Stars. Saturday, the Stars fell into a 4-1 hole after the first period in losing to Dimond 6-2. Yoder was called on for 32 saves in this one, while Brendon Laporte had 12 for Dimond. For SoHi, Ty Fenton scored on an assist from Coel Nelson and Calvin Hills notched a goal with help from Miller and Nelson.

Valley squads control Kardinals By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Friday’s Northern Lights Conference tilt featuring the Kenai Central and Colony girls basketball squads saw a onesided matchup in the second half — the Knights’ offense against Kenai’s Abby Beck. Beck scored 14 of her gamehigh 22 points in the second half — accounting for every Kenai bucket — but the Kards still fell to the Knights 42-35. Colony (2-0 NLC, 6-2 overall) also hit 17 of 29 free throws, more than enough to account for the difference in the game, which came down to a stifling Knights defensive effort in the fourth quarter. Kenai was held to three points in the last eight minutes. “(Kenai coach) Stacia (Rustad) does a terrific job year in and year out getting her girls to play unbelievably hard,” said Colony coach Jeff Bowker. “They played harder than we Photo by Rashah McChesney/Peninsula Clarion did, and as a result, we were Kenai Central High School’s Trevor Shirnberg puts in a layup looking up at them for three quarters.” against Palmer on Friday at Kenai Central High School. C

The Kards shot out of the gate with 16 points in the first quarter, getting buckets to fall from Beck and Alli Steinbeck, while keeping Colony to 10 points. Kenai held a precarious 21-19 lead at halftime. “That was all about Kenai the first three quarters,” Bowker said. Faith Farris led Colony with 17 points overall, and opened the second half with a jumper to tie things up. From there, Farris and company traded buckets with Beck, who drained five shots in the third quarter with well-timed assists from teammates Hannah Drury and Allie Ostrander. Beck continued her scoring charge, but it was only lasted so long. Farris and Ashley Turcotte fought back and gave Colony its first lead of the night with 45 seconds left in the third quarter on a Farris jump shot. Turcotte ended the night with 10 points. After Beck sent in a layup with 4:03 remaining in the fourth quarter to close Kenai’s deficit to 37-34, Teyah Clark See KARDS, page B-4

five minutes left that tied the game up again. Twenty seconds later, Dinkel put the Knights ahead for good with two free throws following a fouled shot. “You coach them to be aggressive and to put them in the right position,” Berg said. “Tonight, everything we got from Bailey was terrific. Harrison was good, Graham was good, and Ethan was good.” Weltzin hit a pair of freebies with 3:31 remaining that closed the deficit to one, but Selmer came up big for a second straight night with a layup with under two minutes left, following it up with a foul shot that put Colony out front 55-51 and really making life difficult for the Stars. Selmer hit several clutch shots in an 11-point game Friday against Kenai. “When we were down by six, I had the three-point play drawn up and we got a good look at it,” Tuter said. “It just didn’t quite go in, but I thought we were gonna get a good chance at it.” Soldotna and Kenai will face off Tuesday night at Soldotna.

come up short to their Valley rivals. Haley Miller led Soldotna (4-7 overall) with 17 points, while teammate Lindsey Wong contributed nine points and Kelsey Jackson had eight. “We’re expecting this because we’re learning a new system,” said SoHi coach Kyle McFall. “But our execution, at the end of games when a team tightens up their defense, it gets really lax.” Sarah Bonn, Faith Farris and Ashley Turcotte combined for 40 points for the Knights. Bonn and Turcotte scored 14 apiece and Farris added 12. Colony coach Jeff Bowker did not sugercoat his opinion in saying his squad suffered an off shooting night. But he said there are still two months remaining before he expects his team to turn up the heat. “That’s when we plan on playing our best basketball,” said Colony coach Jeff Bowker. “Do I think we compete? Without question. I would tell you that whether we lost or won.” Early on, the Stars were hitting everything from the outer arc. Daisy Nelson, Wong and Jackson each pumped in points from the 3-point line, which helped to put SoHi ahead by as much as 22-11 midway through the second quarter. However, Colony answered back with force, hitting on a 17-2 run to end the half and put Colony up 28-24 at the half. The biggest culprit came from SoHi turnovers. “We shot horrible all night,” Bowk-

North topples South in Senior Bowl MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah wanted to leave an impression on more than just the NFL watchers at the Senior Bowl. Abdullah rushed for 73 yards and added 40 receiving

while leading the North to a 34-13 victory over the South on Saturday in the Senior Bowl, punctuating his college career in his home state. The Cornhuskers’ No. 2 career rusher won MVP honors in

a game that showcases senior NFL prospects. Abdullah made the most of his 11 touches, including four catches. He said being ready for quarterbacks to check down to the backs was emphasized.

Minnesota running back David Cobb gained 69 yards on 11 carries. The top passers were Baylor’s Bryce Petty of the North and Colorado State’s Garrett Grayson on the South.

. . . Bears Continued from page B-1

The lone goal of the game came early in the second period, when Blake Kelley caught the puck on a scramble in front of the net, spun around and shoveled it past Hauser to give the Chill a 1-0 lead. “It was nothing you’d write home about,” Beauparlant said. “We just lost coverage on him.” The Brown Bears pulled Hauser from the goal with about 1:20 left in the game, giving the Bears the extra attacker, but time ultimately ran out. Friday presented a perfect way to begin the weekend. Nickels snuck in from the blue line and cracked a behind-the-net pass from Bouvet past Chill goalie Adam Carlson with 9.9 seconds remaining to give the Brown Bears a 3-2 victory. “I just tried to put it on net,” Nickels said after getting his first goal in his 30th NAHL game. “I had no idea where it was going. I was just hoping it would go in.” Go in it did — into the lower left portion of the net. And at that, Brown Bears captain Tyler Andrews could only smile. Last season, Andrews got the first goal of his NAHL career against Coulee Region, this time with two seconds left in a 3-2 win at the sports

answered 20 seconds later with a layup of her own to stretch the lead once again. From there, Colony converted three of its next six free throws to ice the game. “We were able to execute and make a few shots and get a little distance, and then hold on to it at the end,” Bowker said. “I don’t know what (Kenai’s) shooting percentage was in the first half, but it was pretty good. Then they started missing.” Colony boys 57, Kenai 45 Bumps, bruises and blood could not keep the Kenai boys from trying to upset the Knights on Friday night, but in the end, Colony still took the win. Eight different players starred in the scoring column for Colony (2-0 NLC, 8-5 overall), led by Tucker Looney and Ethan Selmer with 11 points each. Bailey West and Robert Sonnenberg added 10 points apiece as well. Josh Jackman led the Kardinals with 12 points, while Austin Brazell scored eight of his 10 points in the second half. The Knights started fast, streaking out to a 15-6 lead in the first 5:32 of the game, and held a 20-10 lead after one quarter. “Our message tonight was to come out and compete,” said Kenai coach Ken Felchle. “The first quarter, we gave them 20 points, and it just wasn’t enough.” Colony coach Tom Berg said the focus of his squad was simply pointed to their offensive production, rather than depending on trying to slow the Kenai offense. “It was more about us, and whether or not our guys could do their job,” Berg said. Not only did Colony keep Kenai guessing on who was going to score, but they pounded the glass as well, racking up offensive rebounds to chip in second-chance opportunities

complex. “Nothing beats scoring your first goal with less than 10 seconds left to beat the other team,” Andrews said. The biggest difference between the goals was Andrews’ strike gave the Bears a seventh-straight win last season. Nickels’ tally saved a team on a long losing streak from heading to overtime after giving up a 2-0 lead in the third period. “We knew that if we were going to win, we were going to have to start figuring out how to play all 60 minutes, and that’s exactly what we did tonight,” Brown Bears head coach Geoff Beauparlant said. The Chill have now lost six straight, and head coach AJ Degenhardt said that losing streak is due to not playing hard for 60 minutes. Coulee Region had a ninegame winning streak that was snapped on Jan. 2, and Degenhardt said the team has forgotten what made it successful. “It’s been six games in a row now, and our compete level is not where it needs to be,” he said. Degenhardt was not pleased with the second period, in which the Bears took a 2-0 lead. The first goal came when Andrews knifed to the net and Bouvet found him with a perfect pass with 18:18 on the clock. Then with 14:12 left in the period, Andrews slid a

pass across the ice to Austin Chavez, who roofed one on Carlson’s glove side. The Bears won the shot count 16-7 in the second, but Coulee came storming back in the third to outshoot the Bears 17-9 and 37-34 for the game. With 13:08 to play, Bears defenseman Ben Campbell tried to clear the puck up the side, but it took a bizarre bounce to Dominik Florian in the middle of the ice for a goal. Although the bounce was strange, the goal was no accident because, unofficially, the Chill were outshooting the Bears 8-0 in the period at that point. “They came out really hard,” Andrews said. “We fell back and were trying to play D, but there was still 20 minutes to go. “That’s too much time to stop playing offense.” Then with 2:05 to play, Richard Zehnal finished off an intense rush for a tie game. “We did see some good signs in the third period, but this league is too good to take a period off,” Degenhardt said. The coach also said he thought his team let up a bit after tallying the equalizer. Beauparlant said his squad kept up intensity and execution no matter the situation or score. The coach said goalie Evan Hauser played a big role in making the third goal of the night by a Bears’ defenseman

that resulted in a 37-22 halftime lead. Kenai came up with a few stretches of spectacular oncourt play, like when Brazell and Marshall Vest hit consecutive 3s late in the third quarter that left Kenai trailing 41-28, within striking distance. But Felchle didn’t mince words when asked about the individual matchups, saying that his squad is giving up “15 to 20 pounds and a few inches at every position.” “That’s hard to deal with,” he said. “In the second half, we dealt with that a lot better. But they’re a very well-coached team with a lot of size. A combination of those things give us a lot of trouble.” It seemed like a battle at times. In the second half, Brazell took a hit while scrambling on the floor for a loose ball and took a few extra moments to gather himself before walking gingerly off the floor. Late in the fourth quarter, Kenai senior Jonah Theisen suffered a mouth full of blood after a scramble under the net resulted in an elbow to the jaw. For Felchle, a former member of the United States Army, it was part of the fight for the win. “For us to be able to compete against a team of that caliber, we have to play as hard as we did in the second half, the entire game,” Felchle said. “It’s got to be 32 minutes.” Ultimately, the Knights iced the game with a few late shots. Looney sank a trey with 2:50 remaining in the game that left Colony with a commanding 17-point lead and ended all hope of a Kenai comeback.

Leya DePriest had 14 points for the Warriors before fouling out, while Cassidy Edwards pitched in 10. For Kenai, Abby Beck led the way with nine points.

Wasilla girls 46, Kenai 32 The visiting Warriors pulled away from the Kardinals in the fourth quarter for the victory. Wasilla led the tight, defensive affair 12-6 after one quarter and 24-16 at the half. But by the end of the third quarter, Kenai had chopped the lead to 30-27. However, the Warriors controlled the final eight minutes.

the deciding tally. In the first period, Hauser stopped a penalty shot by Garrett Riebling. In the second period, only a minute after the Bears went up 1-0, Hauser stoned a wideopen chance in front of the net. With 5:52 left in the second, he want post to post to deny a bid by Jack Sorensen. “We need a goaltender to make those saves and those are the saves we haven’t been getting lately,” Beauparlant said. “We need the big save when we’ve just gone up 1-0, or even to keep the game 0-0.” The Bears face the Chill on Sunday at 3 p.m. Sunday’s game is half price, at $7 for adults and $5 for kids.

is what it is

Will M orrow

Puppy love “W

hy did you get a puppy?” That seems to be the question that immediately follows “awww, cute” when people learn that we have a new member of our household. The answer, apparently, is that we must have subconsciously decided that our lives just weren’t hectic enough with kids’ activities, parents’ activities, family activities, jobs, the two dogs we already have, and all the other things that seem to fill up our calendar from Sunday through Saturday, and we just needed one more thing to keep us busy. Actually, we’ve been talking about getting a puppy for a while. Our other two dogs — 1 and 1/2 dogs, really, because we don’t count the pug as a full dog — are getting older, and we felt like it was time to inject a little youthful vigor back into the mix. We planned to get a puppy sometime this spring. We thought the timing would be great because my wife, a teacher, and two kids would be out of school for the summer and could do all the puppy training. Of course, any time my wife and I plan to do something at some future date, we always seem to decide that, as long as we’ve got it planned, why not do it right away? So, when she called from the grocery store parking lot a couple of weeks ago to let me know that a lady was giving away Lab puppies, my response was that as long as we were going to do it anyway, why not now? And now Lucy is a part of the family. I’ll be honest, the first couple of days, I was questioning that logic. It’s been 10 years since we had a puppy in the house, and 12 since we had an infant, and I’ve apparently forgotten a lot of things since then. For example, the time from when a puppy goes down for her nap to when she wakes up and needs to go out is exactly 30 seconds less than the time you need to finish whatever it is you were going to get done — cooking an omelette, taking a shower, getting dressed, watching the end of a TV show or movie. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve burned my eggs a few times, and I’ve abruptly ended a number of phone calls with, “Gotta go, puppy just woke up” — which, depending on who I’m talking to, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’d also forgotten about the joys of running the puppy outside at 2 a.m. I was going to try to cut back on the amount of coffee I’ve been drinking, but I think that’s going to have to wait a couple more months. And sometime in the past few years, I lost that third hand I had when my kids were little. I used to be able to carry an infant and a toddler, a diaper bag, other assorted child gear and a bag of groceries to the car and still have a free hand to unlock the door. But during Lucy’s first trip to the vet’s office, I could barely sign the bill with one hand while holding her under my other arm. Where did that skill go? I think it took us two days to get over that what-have-we-gotten-ourselves-into feeling, because puppies are adorable and, at least for us, it’s impossible to not fall in love with one. She’s got everyone in the family putting down electronic devices to interact with a living creature, which is a good thing. (The alternative is that if you don’t pay attention to her, you’ll need to go find the paper towels and the disinfectant.) Getting away from the office during my lunch break to let the puppy out is probably also a good thing, and while waiting for her to finish her business in the middle of the night, staring at the stars can be inspiring. She’s even got the old dogs bouncing around for some play time. As a side note, pug tails are great puppy toys. When pugs lie down and relax, their tails uncurl, and when a playful puppy pounces, they curl right back up like a party favor. Lots of fun. Anyway, our little ball of fuzz is growing fast. She’s seems like she’s going to be pretty rambunctious, so in our house, she’ll fit right in. But right now I’ve got to cut this column off, because the puppy just woke up, and I’m going to need some paper towels ... Reach Clarion editor Will Morrow at will.morrow@peninsulaclarion. com.

New tools take ache out of snow removal By SARAH WOLFE Associated Press

That familiar refrain of winter is back. Do you hear it? Metal shovels scraping snow-covered driveways and sidewalks. The industrious whir of snow blowers. The grating sound of scrapers chiseling cars out from beneath layers of ice. Snow and ice removal can be back-breaking work. But a host of new tools aims to take the backache out of what can be the bane of many home and car owners’ existence each winter. “We all get caught like this,” says Home Depot spokesman Dan White. “We know it’s coming, but we wait until the last minute to get ready. ... If you’ve already got some of these things installed, they’re going to save you a lot of headaches.”

Snow-melting cables Among the game-changing products in snow removal are cable kits that melt the white stuff off your roof, driveway or sidewalk. EasyHeat Sno Melter cables can be clipped to your roof, or strung through rebar and layered under hard surfaces like cement and asphalt to maintain a constant temperature above freezing. “There’s no need to shovel, snow blow or spread chemicals,” says EasyHeat product manager Romy Sheynis. The roof cables provide an uninterrupted path for melting water to flow down into your gutters. Sidewalk kits cover areas up to 100 square feet with a single cable and must be installed by a professional contractor. A self-contained controller starts heating the surface whenever moisture is present and temperatures are below 38 degrees, according to EasyHeat. Snow mats that melt snow as it falls on your steps and sidewalk are also becoming popular, using similar technology, White says.

High-tech snow blowers Cordless snow blowers are nothing new. But Snow Joe and Ryobi offer blowers that are both cordless and don’t need gas — a more environmentally friendly way to clear your sidewalk or driveway. The snow blowers are powered by a rechargeable lithium battery. After charging for 2½ to 3 hours, they can run up to 40 minutes. “Until now, homeowners faced a lot of intimidation with snow-removal equipment,” says Joseph Cohen, Snow Joe’s CEO. Battery-powered blowers, he says, “operate just as most electronics do today — with a simple charge.” Looking for something more traditional? Milwaukee-based Briggs & Stratton has introduced a serrated auger on its single-stage snow blowers this season. Called the “SnowShredder,” it combines 14 serrated steel teeth with the reinforced rubber paddles typically found in single-stage blowers to give users the power of a two-stage blower and the maneuverability of a smaller machine. The new feature is available on the 922EXD and 1222EE models of Snapper, Simplicity and Briggs & Stratton single-stage snow blowers.

Scrapers Scraping snow and ice from your car is unpleasant enough, but in the dark? It can be hard and even dangerous. Enter the Icy Light, a snow scraper with a water-resistant flashlight in the handle. The brainchild of Washington state inventor Jeff Latham, Icy Light is powered by two AA batteries and comes in several colors. Sharper Image carries a heated scraper that melts away stubborn ice and snow after charging for a couple minutes in your car’s 12-volt outlet. A built-in rubber squeegee wipes away any excess water, leaving you with a clear view. It also contains a light.

This undated photo provided by HARO shows snow melting cables on a roof to clear snow or melt ice.

Looking for something bigger? Snow Joe offers a snow broom with ice scraper that easily pushes heavy, wet snow off your car hood or roof without scraping the paint. The handle extends up to 49 inches. And in something that looks

straight out of the Middle Ages, Bare Ground has an ice- and snow-melting torch that lets you blast away frozen spots with a propane-powered flame. Bonus? According to the listing on Wayfair, it’s also great for weed removal in the summer.

Ad by special-effects master pits cats vs. dogs for a cause By SUE MANNING Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — From braindevouring zombies in “The Walking Dead” to crime-scene bloodshed on “CSI,” special-effects wizard Sam Nicholson has delivered gore galore to television viewers. But he says nothing has personally affected him more than the commercial he made for Super Bowl Sunday. It’s a rare ad urging viewers to spay or neuter their pets and uses elaborate computer-generated images and live-action shots of cats and dogs in pet-sized football helmets and pads facing off in a stadium full of cheering fans, falling confetti and exploding flashbulbs. It won’t air during the New England Patriots-Seattle Sea-

hawks matchup Feb. 1 but on one of the game-day alternatives for animal lovers — the Kitten Bowl. The Hallmark Channel hosts the feline counterpoint to the beloved Puppy Bowl. Both are cute contests over athletic competition, with young pets romping across tiny turf fields, pushing around toy balls and pawing one another rather than scoring touchdowns. In between cuddly cats, the commercial will promote sterilization. It’s not the most crowd-pleasing cause, but animal welfare agencies say it’s an effective way to reduce the number of homeless cats and dogs that are euthanized. “I promised my best people because it was close to my heart,” said Nicholson, owner of Stargate Studios. C

“I believe in the cause.” The ad is the brainchild of Lucy Pet Foundation founder Joey Herrick, whose group aims to start up a fleet of spay-and-neuter vans to travel wherever dog or cat overpopulation is a problem. His foundation launched a social media campaign in the hope scores of people will see the ad, which pans into a stadium where live-action pets in uniforms face off in a mock championship, barking to hike the football, catching it in their mouths and getting cheers from real and computeranimated animal fans. Nicholson fused computer-generated images with live-action video and as many as 80,000 individual photos of dozens of pets brought in by staff members or rescued from

shelters. While the pets in the audience got lessons in quick changes, the dogs and cats on the football teams took fasttracked training on how to be comfortable under the weight of shoulder pads and helmets. Nicholson said he shot all the parts, then pieced them together like a large, layered puzzle. “All the dogs and cats in the stadium are individually photographed elements, dressed in every outfit we could think of,” Nicholson said. “We synchronized them so they looked left to right when the ball was going that way.” To get the dogs to look from one side to another, someone would run behind the camera with a hot dog. For cats, they put kitty food on a stick and ran.

Only once in school did I fake the in-crowd attire

ne of my grandsons is enamored with shoes. Well, athletic shoes, anyway. Those fancy ones named after basketball players and costing more than I have ever paid for foot protection. The thing is, his shoes are so beloved and costly that he won’t wear them outdoors and risk getting them dirty. To me, shoes are something you wear to keep your feet intact. To him, they are a treasure to carry in a plastic bag until you can go indoors and lace them on. When he’s outside, if he hasn’t brought along a pair of spares, he will play ball in his socks. Those are not the white athletic socks that I’ve always bought, three or six pairs to a plastic bag. They are long, heavy socks with designs and colors, and they might cost $20 or more (or more, sports fans), just to be worn

ragged from shooting hoops in the cul-de-sac. You might get from my tone that I don’t think much of keeping up with the Jameses by the way of name-brand clothing. My jeans come off the sales rack. My shirts cost more last year before they went on discount this year when the new styles showed up. My sneakers are whatever brand happens to be a dollar cheaper. In fact, growing up in a large farm family where the epitome of style when school started each fall was to get a new pair of jeans that weren’t overalls, I never acquired the luxury of desiring elite clothing. I was on the fringe of the in crowd, however, so I tried to blend in as best I could. The instance that comes to mind is a London Fog windbreaker jacket when I was in high school. London Fog was the last word in windbreak-

ers. The usual color was dark blue — though khaki was popular — and they didn’t break the wind unless they were monogrammed in big flourishes. I could afford the tailor’s fee for my three initials; I just couldn’t afford the London Fog brand. Glynn Moore Most of my male classmates could, however, so I had to fake it. I bought a cheaper brand that carried a similar name: English Mist, British Pea Soup, or some such. I had it monogrammed, and the guys never said anything about what a poor phony I was. Today, if you look at my high school yearbooks, you will find me wearing that jacket in

is, all of the other members have much larger, nicer homes than mine. There’s always space for everyone to sit, and a basement for all the kids to play in while we’re occupied. I’d love to Abigail Van Buren host, but I’m afraid having all those people in my house would be an embarrassment. No one has asked why I haven’t hosted yet, but I’m getting worried about what to say if someone does. Should I just say I don’t have the space? I feel it’s rude of me to not take a turn. — TINY HOUSE DWELLER IN KANSAS DEAR T.H.D.: Not being able to accommodate a large group is nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s a fact of life for many people. If you are asked about why you haven’t hosted, tell the truth. Offer to host the gathering at the church — or outside when the weather permits. If that doesn’t work, volunteer to bring food to some of the events so you’ll feel like you’re contributing your share and no one will feel you are ducking a responsibility.

Mom says dollhouse built with love isn’t up to code DEAR ABBY: My 7-year-old granddaughter, “Kelly,” wanted a dollhouse for Christmas. I had a friend build a basic frame, shingled roof, chimney and shutters, then I decorated it. I did everything by hand. I wallpapered each room, made little rugs and crocheted lace curtains. There were even little window shades. Kelly’s room was a perfect princess bedroom. It took weeks, but I loved working on it. The family came for five days over the holidays. Kelly loved her dollhouse and played with it every day. When it came time to leave, my daughter told Kelly she couldn’t take it with her. She had to leave it at Grandma’s “so she would have something to play with when she came to visit.” Kelly was heartbroken. So was I. Then my daughter told me (in private) the dollhouse was “too amateurish,” which was why she didn’t want it in her home. I think about it all the time and don’t know how to get past it. Any advice? — HURT GRANDMA DEAR HURT: You appear to be a loving grandparent. Sometimes people say things without weighing the effect it will have on the person they’re talking to. What your daughter said may have been honest, but it was extremely insensitive in light of the time, effort and love that went into that gift. Your daughter appears to be more fixated on appearances rather than what’s really important in life. What is sad to me is that she may pass along her skewed sense of values to your granddaughter.

That was about the only time I tried to fit in. I also ran on the edge of the jock crowd, but I never earned a leather football jacket to wear.

Nobody ever tried to fake that sweater, let me tell you. And if they had, we brains would have been too smart to fall for it.

This Week: By Tuesday, you will know what to do. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Take responsibility and deal with someone who often rains on your parade.

This Week: Others pick up the ball and run with it. Do your thing! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Don’t hold back or let a financial matter trip you up. Your caring will make all the difference to a child or new friend. Remember not to get twisted up in life’s mundane details so much. Tonight: Be happy, and others will follow your lead. This Week: Dive into errands Monday and Tuesday. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Devote more quality time to a roommate or family member.

This Week: Your creativity marks Monday and Tuesday. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Make an effort toward a child or loved one who perhaps doesn’t feel as upbeat as you might. Your friendship tends to help this person gain perspective on his or her life. Tonight: Say what you feel and what you think, but know that you might get some mixed reactions. This Week: You have a lot of ground to cover! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Make it a day of indulgence. For some of you, you might decide just to stay in bed, whereas others might choose to dine at a favorite restaurant or pick up a few items at a favorite store. Just do whatever will make you smile. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. This Week: Make calls, return emails and schedule meetings.

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.

She made the process of selling our house very smooth, and then found us the perfect new home. She and her wonderful assistant Tiffany were available at any time, and they both worked hard to get us into our new home in record time.

Roaming North America

Land of Dinosaurs

photo by Steve Mann

Billy Jonas’ newest album, “Build It Back Again,” focuses on staying hopeful. Billy is a songwriter, guitarist, singer and percussionist. He founded the Billy Jonas Band. He is famous for making instruments out of everyday objects such as paint cans, sewer pipes, garden rakes or egg slicers. He began playing on these “found objects” when he was in summer camp. In high school and college, many of his friends could not play instruments, so they played on pots and pans with chopsticks. Billy grew up in Chicago and now lives in North Carolina. He took piano, guitar and trombone lessons when he was a kid. He travels throughout the world to study different forms of music and instruments. Billy has performed at concerts to benefit those working to end conflicts in Palestine and Israel. He also works to help environmental causes. He loves to run with Beeka, his rescue dog.

In the background, an Edmontosaurus (ed-MONtoh-SAW-rus) travels through a swamp in the Hell Creek Formation area 66 million years ago. The Edmontosaurus was probably a herd animal. It bit off plants with its bill and used its hundreds of teeth to grind the vegetable matter. In the foreground, an Acheroraptor (AK-er-ohRAP-tur) hunts for prey. The Acheroraptor was closely related to the Velociraptor in Asia. It grew up to 10 feet long. A Pterosaur (TER-uh-sore), a reptile cousin of the dinosaurs, flies above.

Right now, in the middle of the winter, if you look at the states where the Hell Creek Formation is, it is hard to imagine that in the time of the dinosaurs it was a rainy, subtropical forest. There were no cold winters. It would have been much like southern Florida today. The Earth was much warmer 66 million to 68 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous (kruh-TAY-shus) Period. There were no polar ice caps. The planet’s sea levels were much higher than today. The oceans had flooded parts of North America, creating a huge inland sea. Dinosaurs lived to the east and west of the sea.

Jason Sangha

Few collegiate athletes have experienced success like Lynn University’s Jason Sangha. Lynn, located in Boca Raton, Florida, has become a soccer powerhouse at the Division II level, winning the national championship in 2012 and 2014, and finishing second in 2011. Jason, a defender, earned All-America honors in each of his four seasons with the Fighting Knights. A threeyear captain, Jason led a smothering Lynn defense that surrendered fewer than one goal per match, while allowing an average of just three shots on goal. A native of England, Jason was one of 21 international students on the 26-man Lynn roster last season. In the 2014 national semifinals held in Louisville, Kentucky, the Fighting Knights defeated Quincy (Illinois) University 4-1 before holding off the University of Charleston (West Virginia) 3-2 in the finals. The victory gave Lynn’s men’s soccer team its fifth national title overall and the school’s 23rd championship in all sports.

Famous Hell Creek Dinosaurs Triceratops Triceratops were huge planteating dinosaurs. They grew to 30 feet long and weighed between 13,000 and 20,000 pounds. By comparison, the biggest land animal living today, the African elephant, can weigh up to 15,000 pounds. Compared to a mammal, Triceratops had a small brain in its big head. It was probably as smart as a crocodile.

Gigantic dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex (ty-RANoh-SORE-rus RECKS) and Triceratops (tri-SER-uh-tops) ruled western North America 66 million years ago. Dinosaurs had been roaming the Earth for about 165 million years. And then, in just a few years, all dinosaurs but birds were wiped from the planet. Much of what we know about these awesome animals and the land they ruled comes from fossil discoveries in one set of rocks, the Hell Creek Formation. This layer of rocks covers parts of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. (It is called the Lance Formation in Wyoming.) In November 2014, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., opened a new exhibit, “The Last American Dinosaurs: Discovering a Lost World.” To learn more about this amazing world of dinosaurs, The Mini Page talked with the lead curator* of the exhibit.

Decorative, deadly dinos Triceratops were members of a family of plant-eating dinosaurs with horns, frills or knobs. Some had spikes or horns along the edges of their frills, which may have been brightly colored. Some had horns above their eyes, and others had a nose horn. The horns and frills probably helped attract mates and scare off enemies. They also used horns in fighting.

Tyrannosaurus rex

You vs. a T. rex

The T. rex grew to 40 feet long, stood about 13 feet tall at its hip and weighed 15,500 pounds. It was one of the largest predators, or animals that hunted other animals, ever to live on land. The T. rex had little arms with big claws. Its arms were so short that they couldn’t even reach its mouth.

Have you ever wondered if you could outrun a T. rex? Experts believe it would have been able to run up to 25 miles per hour, but an average human sprinter can run only about 12 miles per hour. Uh-oh! The T. rex had powerful hind legs. It may have used its little arms for holding down prey.

Last Remaining Dinosaurs A new discovery

art by Mark Klingler / Carnegie Museum of Natural History

In 2014, fossil hunters discovered a new type of dinosaur, Anzu wyliei (AN-zu WI-lee-eye). Scientists built a skeleton of it from three partial skeletons. They named it Anzu after a mythological feathered monster. Because it was discovered in the Hell Creek Formation, they nicknamed it the “chicken from hell.” Anzu wyliei was a member of the Oviraptor (oh-vih-RAP-tor) family, a group of bird-like dinosaurs. It lived at the time of T. rex and Triceratops.

Birds are avian (AY-vee-uhn) dinosaurs. Non-avian dinosaurs were all other dinosaurs. “Avian” means birds or something to do with birds. Birds are the descendants of small, non-flying dinosaurs called theropods. One of the best-known theropods was Velociraptor. When the asteroid impact led to the extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs, it opened the way for our mammal ancestors to thrive. art courtesy NASA

Next week, The Mini Page celebrates the life of civil rights leader Rosa Parks.

Anzu had a long tail and a large crest on top of its head. Its front limbs had long, sharp claws. It did not have teeth, but cut its food with its powerful jaws. It probably ate plants, animals and eggs. It weighed about 500 pounds and was about 11 feet long from beak to tail and about 5 feet tall at the hip.
