In the news Walker to invite Jewell to visit ANWR

JUNEAU (AP) — Gov. Bill Walker says he will invite President Obama and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to visit the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Walker’s announcement Tuesday came two days after Obama said he plans to recommend that Congress designate most of the refuge as wilderness, including its potentially oil-rich coastal plain Alaska political leaders have vowed to fight the proposal, which the Republicancontrolled Congress will decide. During a news conference, Walker also said he would send Jewell an invoice for Alaska’s education and health care costs. He said it would show there is an impact to actions taken by the federal government. Alaska, which relies heavily on oil revenues to fund state government, faces multibillion-dollar budget deficits amid an oil-price crash. Walker said Jewell is expected to be in Alaska next month.

Soldotna Parks and Rec evolves Department adapts to meet needs, interests in city By IAN FOLEY Peninsula Clarion

To remain an attractive location for locals and tourists alike, the city of Soldotna must continue adapting and improving its parks and recreational areas. That was the message from Andrew Carmichael, Soldotna Parks and Recreation Director, at the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce luncheon held Tuesday at Froso’s in Soldotna. “People come, people go, (the population) gets older, (the population) gets younger,” Carmichael said. “The emphasis on Parks and Recreation is everchanging. That’s our job — to

‘The emphasis on Parks and Recreation is ever-changing. That’s our job — to change.’ — Andrew Carmichael, Soldotna Parks and Recreation director change.” During his speech, Carmichael highlighted many of the Soldotna’s recent changes and improvements of its recreational areas and services. Carmichael also outlined future plans that could benefit the city. The changes and improvements included the city’s completion of park projects, the

construction of fish cleaning stations near the Kenai River and the addition of electronic pay stations at Soldotna campgrounds. One of the less publicized changes was at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. Carmichael said that the facility wasn’t as efficient as it could be and demand for facility time

was high. “We didn’t have enough days in the month or days in the season to accommodate everybody,” Carmichael said. Carmichael said that to improve the facility, a floor system for the rink was needed to cover the ice in order to have other events at the center. After researching, Carmichael said that an insulated cover for the ice would cost between $115,000 and $150,000. “After falling out of the chair at that price, we talked to the staff and the staff said ‘We can do this. What are they built of?’” Carmichael said. Carmichael said Parks and

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District’s fiscal year 2016 budget deficit is projected to be $3.9 million at best and $8.7 million at its worst. Assistant Superintendent Dave Jones presented the 20152016 Preliminary Budget to the School Board of Education at the Jan. 12 meeting. If the school district maintains the same level of services next year as the current year, it would be facing a $6.5 million deficit, he said. The school board requested this specific calculation at the start of fiscal year 2016 budget discussions in December, Jones said. The deficit announced in the fiscal year 2015 preliminary budget had included $1.3 million in salary cuts that ultimately decreased last year’s shortfall, he said. Funding set aside in the fund balance for self-insurance health care will provide some support, Jones said. Using the remaining $2.6 million of $5.9 set aside three years ago for health care costs will reduce the deficit to $3.9 million, he said. A declining fund balance and slim state budget are of concern for the school district

A Kasilof resident has filed a petition with the Kenai Peninsula Borough to ask for the recall of assembly member Kelly Wolf on the grounds of incompetence. Chase Duncan, 25, completed phase one of the petition process Monday when he submitted a 200-word petition along with 10 required signa-

tures to the borough clerk’s office. In the petition, Duncan wrote, “Kelly Wolf has demonstrated extreme and egregious incompetence in his elected position.” Duncan, a Kenai Peninsula College student and U.S. Navy veteran, said he was inspired to do something after he attended the Jan. 20 assembly meeting, the first such meeting he has attended. Duncan was one nearly 30 people who testified in op-

position to Wolf’s proposed ordinance to ban marijuana cultivation in the rural areas of the borough. “This is not a petition for marijuana or marijuana laws,” Duncan said. “Its about fair and competent representation. That being said, his proposed ordinance influenced my direction.” In his petition, Duncan wrote Alaska doesn’t possess its own definition of incompetence so

he cited Cornell University Law School’s legal definition as “a general lack of ability or qualification to do something.” He said the voters have a right to challenge the competency of elected officials when the situation is appropriate. Wolf, 52, was elected to represent District 1-Kalifornsky in 2012. He is a retired construction contractor and 1979 graduate of Kenai Central High School. He served in the state

Legislature as a representative from 2003 to 2006 and is a program coordinator for the Youth Restoration Corps. Duncan said he decided to go through with the recall petition to make a point about who elected officials work for. Borough Clerk Johni Blankenship said Duncan’s petition would be reviewed by the legal department to certify whether the grounds for recall are sufSee RECALL, page A-12

State official shares ideas for marijuana regulations By MOLLY DISCHNER Associated Press

JUNEAU — The head of the board currently in charge of writing regulations for the legalized use of recreational pot in Alaska said Tuesday that rules on edibles, advertising and extraction methods should be part of the conversation. Alcoholic Beverage Control board executive director Cindy Franklin presented ideas for new regulations during a Senate State Affairs Committee hearing, primarily centered

2015 20

29th LEGISLATURE

1st SESSION

around public safety concerns and keeping marijuana away from minors. Voters in November approved an issue under which recreational marijuana becomes legal Feb. 24. The state then has nine months to write regulations. Sen. Lesil McGuire, RAnchorage, and chairwoman of the Senate Judiciary Com-

mittee, has said she plans to introduce a bill creating a marijuana board to develop regulations. Franklin suggested regulating how potent edibles could be and disallowing “adulterated edibles,” which are prepackaged foods that are unwrapped, sprayed with marijuana and resold. When popular junk food is used for those, they can be particularly appealing to youths, she said. Franklin also said a public education campaign is vital. Representatives from several state departments and the C

Alaska Mental Health Trust also participated in the hearing. Alaska State Troopers Maj. Dennis Casanovas testified that his agency is looking for clarity on the definition of marijuana, as the initiative offered a broader definition than other state laws. However, with less than a month until adults can possess and transport up to an ounce of marijuana, Casanovas said troopers are also preparing for enforcement. The agency has ordered more than 400 batteryoperated scales. Troopers and

village public safety officers will use those to accurately weigh marijuana and marijuana concentrates when encountered, Casanovas said. Assistant Attorney General Kaci Schroeder told legislators they will have to make a decision about whether hashish and hash oil would be treated the same as other forms of marijuana, as the initiative calls for, or separately, as they are currently. Schroeder said hash oil is made differently than other marijuana concentrates and has See REGS, page A-12

WASHINGTON — More than 6 in 10 Americans would want Congress to restore federal financial assistance for millions buying health care coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law if the Supreme Court invalidates some of those government subsidies, a poll said Wednesday. The finding by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation suggests that a complicated political landscape might await Republicans, who want to repeal and replace the law, should the court annul a crucial part of it later this year. The court will hear arguments in March in a case that will decide whether Obama’s

2010 law allows federal subsidies only in states that have established their own health insurance marketplaces, and not in states whose markets are run by Washington’s HealthCare.gov. The federal government runs the marketplace in 37 states. The court’s decision is expected in June. Should the court strike down the subsidies, Obama and Congress would have to decide

what to do. Administration officials have sidestepped questions about their next move. Congressional leaders have made no decisions, but groups of top lawmakers in both the House and Senate have started considering options. People’s views of the federal subsidies could change over time because few in the poll — just 14 percent — said they know a lot or something about

the Supreme Court case. But in the Kaiser survey conducted earlier this month, 64 percent said if the court rules that subsidies should be available only in states running their own markets, Congress should make people in all states eligible for federal aid. Those favoring congressional action included 82 percent of Democrats, 40 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of independents.

Retirement brought them to the Kenai Peninsula in 1999. Elisabeth loved the Kenai Peninsula and would jump at the opportunity to spend time on the local rivers fishing for salmon. To learn more about the Kasilof area, she attended meetings of the Kasilof Regional Historical Association. Other favorite pastimes were cooking, baking, sewing, other crafts, and photography. She was an ardent supporter of numerous organizations and charities including her local favorites, the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank and KDLL radio station. Elisabeth will live eternally in the cherished memories of her husband of 61years Harold; their children and spouses, Dominic (Lynae) Hallford, Nancie (Randy) Vance, Victoria (Tim) Maclaren, Jennifer (Glenn) Beckmann and Michael Hallford; nine grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her father Ernest Bork and mother, Ruth and stepfather, Cletus Nick Schuh. She will be greatly missed. Arrangements were by Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai.

What Others Say

The Obama jab on ANWR It’s no surprise that President Obama

wants to score an environmental victory by setting aside millions of acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge as protected wilderness. That was to be expected the day he took office. The surprise is an attempt to accomplish this with a Republican-controlled congress. But, since the November mid-term elections, which went against Obama, the president has appeared obstinate and simply desiring of a fight, pushing, shoving and generally making no effort to get along with other elected officials in Washington, D.C. That’s the perception here. Whether Obama is trying to score political points with his loyal followers or simply mess with Alaska after Alaskans elected a Republican senator to replace the then-incumbent, Mark Begich, the timing is at the very least interesting. Obama’s proposal comes shortly after the election, and perhaps in tandem with another anticipated Alaska-related announcement — placement of Alaska’s offshore Arctic off limits to oil development. Obama’s proposal would designate almost 12.3 million acres in ANWR as wilderness. This designation would be in addition to the already existing 7 million wilderness-designated acres in ANWR. The effect is to curtail economic development. If Obama would take this approach with Alaska, he certainly will take it with other states — most likely those that sent Republican senators to D.C. to replace Democrats for this session. Other states might be vulnerable, too, especially if they are located in western states. For sure Obama has declared war over land in Alaska. It might look like he’s being bull-headed given the likelihood of Congress agreeing with his proposal. But Alaskans know nothing can ever be taken for granted when it comes to what D.C. will do here, and will have to battle even the least-likely possibility. Game on. — Ketchikan Daily News, Jan. 27

Election super snoozer

Will somebody please explain why we give a hoot about “Deflategate”? For those who have had the good sense to avoid the news and sports on TV, that’s the inevitable “gate” tag we clever ones have attached to the scandal over whether the New England Patriots cheated by using footballs that were not blown up to legal size and therefore made easier to grip. The Patriots easily won the playoff game that propelled them to the Super Bowl, and even though the consensus was that ball size was not a deciding factor, size still does matter sometimes. It’s to the point that the controversy has shoved aside the usual banal conversation leading up to the big game, which not only decides the NFL championship, but is an event that is the most watched each year. It continues to be a big deal, even in a professional sport facing real controversies — players who are domestic abusers, a game itself that leaves so many of its players severely injured for life and an organization that tolerates a franchise with a blatantly racist name? Despite all that, each year we get caught up in the Super Bowl, with its excess and grossly outsized egos. All of the hype kinda reminds us of politics, doesn’t it? How else to comprehend the attention that the political media pay to a gathering of hard-right Republicans in Iowa, convened by the unapologetically extreme-right Congressman Steve King. A

“It’s so I can go home and barbecue. Seriously. I don’t stop just because there’s some snow.” — Bloomfield, New Jersey, resident Rick Whipple, who bought a propane tank in preparation for the Northeast snowstorm.

Classic Doonesbury, 1981 By GARRY TRUDEAU

big chunk of the GOP presidential field was there, largely those who are trying to outdo each other in appealing to party members who prefer their meat red. And in Iowa, they are all about red meat. To Bob Franken give an idea of who made up the 1,200 or so in the audience, Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush decided not to attend, possibly to avoid the embarrassment of being booed off stage. Actually, one “moderate,” Chris Christie, did decide to show up, but as he pointed out, he’s from New Jersey and is used to nastiness. Of course, the lineup of far-right fielders was well-represented; Ted Cruz, Ben Carson and Rick Santorum were there to insist that they could rescue America from the scourge of liberalism and undo damage that the Satan Barack Obama has inflicted. But they were not the headliners: Donald Trump and Sarah Palin were. Both announced to the world that they were available to lead our nation back from despair. Palin said repeatedly she is “seriously interested,” and Trump did, too, insisting: “I’m the one person who can make this country great again, that’s all I know.”

So that brings to nearly 30 the number of Republicans who think they have what it takes to win the election Super Bowl. But that’s not till November of next year. Between now and then, they’ll be flocking to endless exhibition games like Congressman King’s gathering of the Iowa faithful, and we in political pack journalism will be there in force, as we scramble for every morsel tossed to us by those who frequently insult us. Why do we participate? What else would we do? Cover substance? Surely you jest. Even as the aforementioned President Obama continues to hurl policies with significant impact, we’ll spend most of our time regurgitating how angry he has made the opposition Congress, and dwell on the GOP’s maneuvers. We’ll spend almost no time digging in to the pros and cons of his proposals. They are only the backdrop for the really big shoe, which is the campaign. Maybe that’s why Deflategate became such a big deal. The first of the two weeks before the big football game isn’t very newsworthy, so we had to create some controversy. But let’s not get too carried away looking for similarities. When it comes to sports and politics, there’s one big difference: People care about the Super Bowl. Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

Budget for Kochs’ network: $1 billion By PHILIP ELLIOTT and STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

Quotable

WASHINGTON — Flexing its financial might, the political machine backed by billionaires Charles and David Koch on Monday told its allies that spending across its conservative network would approach $1 billion ahead of 2016’s elections. The stunning sum from Freedom Partners would dwarf expected spending from official GOP committees and many of the hopefuls expected to seek the party’s presidential nomination in 2016. The $889 million budget is almost twice what 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney spent from his campaign accounts. The hefty budget also suggests that the Koch-backed groups are prepared to spend heavily and early to weaken the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Koch-backed groups such as Americans for Prosperity aired tens of millions of dollars in negative ads against incumbent Democratic lawmakers in 2014 and helped Republicans win a majority in the Senate. While the Koch-backed groups are tremendously effective, even some of their allies eyed the latest budget figure with wariness. Former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, a Republican who now heads the American Bankers Association and who calls the Kochs “wonderful human beings,” lamented the ballooning role of outside groups in politics. “This is the new normal,” Keating said. Freedom Partners is the central hub for the Koch-backed network that includes groups like the activist-recruiting Americans for Prosperity, the millennial-targeting Generation Opportunity and the Hispanicwooing Libre Initiative. Taken together, the Koch-endorsed groups make up a political machine that raises and spends more than any outside network in politics — and more than the official Republican and C

AP News Extra Democratic campaign committees. But unlike those parties, the Koch collection of organizations is mostly made up of nonprofit groups that do not disclose their donors. Democrats have heavily criticized the Kochs’ spending in politics and lack of transparency. A Washington Post-Center for Responsive Politics analysis of the Koch-linked network found $407 million in spending during 2012’s elections. Freedom Partners’ twice-as-large 2016 budget was included in a Monday briefing that Freedom Partners officials offered a record 450 allies and donors who huddled for a weekend in Palm Springs, California. Two people familiar with the budget disclosed the sum on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal plans. Charles and David Koch, billionaire industrialists who built Koch Industries into the second largest privately held corporation in the United States, do not pick up the tab alone. The twice-a-year summits typically end with Koch advisers urging likeminded donors to pledge to open their checkbooks and support their campaigns. The events offer donors access to Koch strategists and top lawmakers. For instance, likely presidential contenders Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida appeared together for a policy discussion. Another likely candidate, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, also was on hand. Democrats immediately criticized the figure as outrageous. “They’ll stop at nothing to purchase a government that grows their profits, weakens pollution standards and maintains tax breaks for big oil — all at the expense of investing in middle-class families and an economy that works for everyone,” said Ben Ray, a spokesman for the liberal

American Bridge 21st Century. But spending is not a guarantee of success. Veteran GOP operative John Feehery said the massive investment would have little impact if Republicans lack quality candidates. “None of the spending will make a difference unless we have a credible candidate who can effectively lead the country,” Feehery said.

New England hit by blizzard’s 2 feet of snow By BOB SALSBERG and DENISE LAVOIE Associated Press

BOSTON — Its winds howling at more than 70 mph, the Blizzard of 2015 slammed Boston and surrounding parts of New England on Tuesday with none of the mercy it unexpectedly showed New York City, piling up more than 2 feet of snow. The storm punched out a 40-to-50-foot section of a seawall in Marshfield, Massachusetts, badly damaging a vacant home. In Newport, Rhode Island, it toppled a 110-foot replica of a Revolutionary War sailing vessel in dry dock, breaking its mast and puncturing its hull. The blizzard’s force and relentlessness stunned even winter-hardened New Englanders. “It’s a wicked storm,” Jeff Russell said as he fought a mounting snowdrift threatening to cover a window at his home in Scarborough, Maine. The snow in New England began Monday evening and continued most of Tuesday. A blizzard warning for Boston ended Tuesday evening as the

snow tapered off, but one remained in effect for the south coast, Cape Cod and nearby islands. The area also was dealing with bitter cold: The low in Boston on Wednesday is expected to be 10 degrees, with wind chill minus 5, and forecasters said it will not get above freezing for the next week or so. The Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor of more than 35 million people had braced for a paralyzing blast Monday evening and into Tuesday after forecasters warned of a storm of potentially historic proportions. The weather lived up to its billing in New England and on New York’s Long Island, which also got clobbered. But in the New York City area, the snowfall wasn’t all that bad, falling short of a foot. By Tuesday morning, buses and subways were starting to run again, and driving bans there and in New Jersey had been lifted. The glancing blow left forecasters apologizing and politicians defending their near-total shutdown on travel. Some com-

muters grumbled, but others sounded a better-safe-thansorry note and even expressed sympathy for the weatherman. “I think it’s like the situation with Ebola: If you over-cover, people are ready and prepared, rather than not giving it the attention it needs,” said Brandon Bhajan, a New York security guard. National Weather Service director Louis Uccellini said his agency should have done a better job of communicating the uncertainty in its forecast. But he also said the storm may in fact prove to be one of the biggest ever in some parts of Massachusetts. Around New England, snowplows struggled to keep up, and Boston police drove several dozen doctors and nurses to work at hospitals. Snow blanketed Boston Common, where the Redcoats drilled during the Revolution, and drifts piled up against Faneuil Hall, where Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty stoked the fires of rebellion. Nearly 21 inches of snow coated Boston’s Logan Airport by evening, while nearby

Framingham had 2½ feet and Worcester 26 inches. Lunenburg reported 33 inches. Providence, Rhode Island, had well over a foot of snow. Sixteen inches had piled up in Portland, Maine, and 23 inches in Waterford, Connecticut. Montauk, on the eastern end of Long Island, got about 2 feet. “It feels like a hurricane with snow,” said Maureen Keller, who works at an oceanfront resort in Montauk. At least 30,000 homes and businesses were without power in the Boston-Cape Cod area, including the entire island of Nantucket. A 78 mph wind gust was reported on Nantucket, and a 72 mph one on Martha’s Vineyard. “It felt like sand hitting you in the face,” Bob Paglia said after walking his dog in Whitman, a small town about 20 miles south of Boston. Two deaths, both on Long Island, were tied to the storm by police: a 17-year-old who crashed into a light pole while snow-tubing down a street and an 83-year-old man with de-

mentia who was found dead in his backyard. As the storm pushed into the Northeast on Monday, the region came to a near standstill, alarmed by forecasters’ dire predictions. More than 7,700 flights were canceled, and schools, businesses, government offices and transit systems shut down. But the storm tracked farther east than forecasters expected. While Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey had been warned they could get 1 to 2 feet of snow, New York City received just under 10 inches and Philadelphia a mere inch or so. New Jersey got up to 10 inches. “This is nothing,” said Susanne Payot, a New York cabaret singer whose rehearsal Tuesday was canceled. “I don’t understand why the whole city shut down because of this.” National Weather Service forecaster Gary Szatkowski, of Mount Holly, New Jersey, tweeted an apology: “You made a lot of tough decisions expecting us to get it right, and we didn’t. Once again, I’m sorry.” New Jersey Gov. Chris

Christie defended his statewide ban on travel as “absolutely the right decision to make,” given the dire forecast. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said the city will look at whether storm procedures could be improved but added: “You can’t be a Monday morning quarterback on something like the weather.” Officials in cold-weather cities know the political costs of seeming unprepared in snowstorms, and the blizzard poses a test for Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, who took office three weeks ago, and Boston Mayor Martin Walsh, who just finished his first year in office. With the storm drawing near, the governor banned all nonessential travel, and the mayor ordered city schools closed for two days. “So far, so good,” Tufts University political science professor Jeffrey Berry said. “What’s important for a governor or a mayor is to appear to be in charge and to have a plan to finish up the job and to get the city and the state back to work.”

Mormon leaders call for measures protecting gay rights By BRADY McCOMBS and RACHEL ZOLL Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — The Mormon church announced a campaign Tuesday for new laws that protect gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people from discrimination while somehow also protecting people who assert their religious beliefs. “We must find ways to show respect for others whose beliefs, values and behaviors differ from ours while never being forced to deny or abandon our own beliefs, values and behaviors in the process,” a church

elder, Jeffrey R. Holland, said in announcing the church’s position. Mormon leaders did not explain just how it would draw lines between gay rights and religious freedoms, and it’s unclear how much common ground the church will gain with this campaign. The church insists it is making no changes in doctrine, and still believes that sex is against the law of God unless it’s within a marriage between a man and a woman. But the new approach could profoundly change political calculations in the Mormon

strongholds of Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona, where the church and its members play a large civic role. In Utah, where most state lawmakers are Mormon, the

announcement was cheered after years of failed efforts to pass anti-discrimination measures. “What the LDS church did today was historic,” said Democratic state Sen. Jim Dabakis,

who was raised Mormon and is openly gay. “This was a bold, strong, principled statement ... today we are seeing the fruits of civility and respect.” The gay-rights group Equal-

ity Utah also applauded, saying LGBT rights can co-exist with freedoms of religious individuals. But national advocates on See RIGHTS, page A-7

both sides were dismissive. The Rev. Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention called the Mormon leaders “well-intentioned, but naive” about animosity toward religious exemptions. And Sarah Warbelow, legal director for the Human Rights Campaign, called it “deeply flawed.” The First Amendment’s protection of religious freedom “does not give any of us the right to harm others, and that’s what it sounds like the proposal from the Mormon church would do

- it would allow a doctor to refuse to care for a lesbian because of his religious beliefs, for example,” said James Esskes, who directs the LGBT project of the American Civil Liberties Union. The campaign is the latest example of a shift in tone on gay rights by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which counts 15 million members worldwide. They have moved away from harsh rhetoric and are preaching compassion and acceptance of gays and lesbians now that gay marriage is legal in Washington D.C. and 36 states including Utah. “Accommodating the rights of all people — including their

religious rights — requires wisdom and judgment, compassion and fairness,” said Holland, who appeared at a rare news conference with two other apostles from the church’s governing Quorum of the Twelve. “Politically, it certainly requires dedication to the highest level of statesmanship. Nothing is achieved if either side resorts to bullying, political point scoring or accusations of bigotry.” The Mormon church will back laws that protect “vital religious freedoms for individuals, families, churches and other faith groups while also protecting the rights of our LGBT citizens in such areas

as housing, employment and public accommodation in hotels, restaurants and transportation,” said Dallin H. Oaks, another apostle. Mormon leaders still want to hire and fire workers based on their religious beliefs as well as behavior standards known as honor codes, which require gays and lesbians to remain celibate or marry someone of the opposite sex. The church also wants legal protections for religious objectors who work in government and health care, such as a physician who refuses to perform an abortion, or provide artificial insemination for a lesbian couple. “It is one of today’s great

ironies that some people who have fought so hard for LGBT rights now try to deny the rights of others to disagree with their public policy proposals,” Oaks said. Accommodations for religious objectors have factored into every state legislative debate over gay rights. But rights advocates have gained leverage as support for same-sex marriage grows. In some states, such as Arizona, even business leaders are on their side, saying broad religious exemptions hurt a state’s image. But religious conservatives also mobilized after the U.S. Supreme Court set a broad expansion of gay marriage in mo-

A-7

tion last year, pressing states to allow some groups, companies and people to refuse some benefits or service for gay spouses. And gay rights groups seeking job and housing protections have faced an uphill battle in the more politically and religiously conservative states. Much has changed since Mormons led a fight against same-sex unions in California. Given the “current contentious atmosphere that exists among people of different views on these subjects,” Oaks said, “we wish to promote a more Christian, a more civil and considerate tone.”

Jury convicts 2 ex-Vanderbilt players of raping woman By SHEILA BURKE Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A jury convicted two ex-Vanderbilt football players on Tuesday of raping a former student, rejecting claims that they were too drunk to know what they were doing and that a college culture of binge drinking and promiscuous sex should be blamed for the attack. The jury deliberated for three hours before announcing that Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey were guilty of aggravated rape and aggravated sexual battery. Batey was stoic, staring ahead and Vandenburg shook his head “no,” appearing stunned. His father had an outburst and abruptly left the courtroom. The victim, a 21-year-old neuroscience and economics major at the time of the June

2013 attack, cried as each guilty verdict was announced. The men face decades in prison when they are sentenced March 6. The jury heard two weeks of dramatic testimony from a parade of witnesses, including police, former and current Vanderbilt students and the woman, who said she didn’t remember what happened that night, only that she woke up in a strange dorm room. They also saw cellphone images from the night of the attack that Vandenburg sent to his friends as it was happening. Despite the photos and video, and witnesses seeing the woman unconscious and at least partially naked in a dorm hallway, no one reported it. The victim said in a statement she was hopeful the publicity from the case would lead to a discussion of how to

end sexual violence on college campuses. In Nashville, where the prestigious private university is located, hundreds of college officials from across the state were meeting this week to discuss exactly that. “Finally, I want to remind other victims of sexual violence: You are not alone. You are not to blame,” she said. Vandenburg and Batey were on trial together, but represented by different attorneys. Attorneys for Vandenburg, who had been seeing the woman, said he did not assault her. Testimony showed Vandenburg passed out condoms to the other players, slapped her buttocks and said he couldn’t have sex with the woman because he was high on cocaine. Batey raped the woman and urinated on her, prosecutors said. His attorneys argued the images didn’t show that.

Defense lawyers argued that Vandenburg and Batey were too drunk to know what they were doing and that a college culture of binge drinking and promiscuous sex should be partly to blame. During closing arguments, Deputy District Attorney Tom Thurman told jurors that the college culture argument was a “red herring” and that the athletes thought the law didn’t apply to them. “That’s the culture that you really saw here,” Thurman said. “Their mindset that they can get away with anything.” Earlier, one of the defense attorneys conceded that Vandenburg took “deplorable” photos, but shouldn’t be convicted of rape because he didn’t take part in it. “He took photographs that he never should have taken,” attorney Fletcher Long said.

Batey, of Nashville, turned 21 on Tuesday. Vandenburg, 21, is from Indio, Calif. Vandenburg’s roommate at the time testified that he had been on the top bunk and saw the woman face down on the floor. He said he heard one of the players say he was going to have sex with her, but didn’t do anything because he was afraid. Rumors about what happened quickly spread around campus, and the assault might have gone unnoticed had the university not stumbled onto the closed-circuit TV images several days later in an unrelated attempt to learn who damaged a dormitory door. The images showed players carrying an unconscious woman into an elevator and down a hallway, taking compromising pictures of her and then dragging her into the room.

School authorities contacted police, who found the digital trail of images. The university said after the verdict that they had kicked the players off the team many months ago, expelled them from school and were confident they acted appropriately. “We will also continue our comprehensive ongoing efforts to raise awareness of the importance of every Vanderbilt student intervening when another student is at risk or in distress,” the school said in a statement. Jaborian “Tip” McKenzie, who is also charged in the case, testified he did not touch the woman himself but also took pictures. No trial date has been set for him and Brandon Banks, the fourth former player accused in the assault. Banks did not testify.

Dog missing 5 months rescued in NYC amid snowstorm By TOM HAYS Associated Press

NEW YORK — A whippet named Burt that vanished in New York City five months ago has finally made it home. The Fire Department of New York said Burt’s journey ended Tuesday at the height of

the winter storm when he was rescued at a training facility on Randall’s Island. “As soon as he saw his owner, the dog started wagging his tail, licking her,” said David Kelly, a firefighter who reunited the pair. In a statement, owner Lauren Piccolo thanked the FDNY,

adding, “Burt is resting at home and is expected to make a full recovery.” According to a Facebook page, Burt wandered off near his Upper Manhattan home in August. Over the months, there were possible sightings near Grant’s Tomb and the Upper West Side.

But the site says the dog’s first birthday in November came and went with him still missing. About a month ago, Kelly spotted a dog while working an overnight shift at the firefighting facility on the island located in the East River. The island is generally accessible by car, though there’s a pedestrian bridge that

could have given a wayward canine access. Kelly nicknamed the stray “The Rock” — the same one used for the facility. He also put out canned dog food for it in the same spot every night, but Burt was wary. “Every time I’d go up to him, he’d run off,” Kelly said.

Worried about the dog’s safety in the approaching snowstorm, Kelly decided to set a trap by putting the food in a cage. The trap worked and, after scanning the Internet for missing whippets, Kelly came across the Facebook page titled “Bring Burt Home.” So he did.

Mexico: Investigation shows 43 missing students dead By ALBERTO ARCE and MARIA VERZA Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Investigators are now certain that 43 college students missing since September were killed and incinerated after they were seized by police in southern Guerrero state, the Mexican attorney general said Tuesday. It was the first time Jesus Murillo Karam said definitely that all were dead, even though Mexican authorities have DNA identification for only one student and a declaration from a laboratory in Innsbruck, Austria, that it appears impossible to identify the others. The attorney general cited confessions and forensic evidence from an area near a garbage dump where the Sept. 26 crime occurred that showed the fuel and temperature of the fire were sufficient to turn 43 bodies into ashes. “The evidence allows us to determine that the students were kidnapped, killed, burned and thrown into the river,” Murillo Karam said in a press conference that included a video reconstruction of the mass slaying and of the investigation into the case.

Relatives and protestors carry banners with pictures of some of the 43 missing students from a rural teachers college, as they march along a main boulevard in Mexico City, Monday. Protest marches were planned in cities around Mexico to mark the fourth month since the disappearance of the students in southern Guerrero state.

He added that “there is not a single shred of evidence that the army intervened ... not a single shred of evidence of the participation of the army,” as relatives of the victims have claimed. Murillo Karam’s explanation seemed unlikely to quell the controversy and doubts about the case, in which the federal government has been criticized for acting slowly and callously. Thousands of people demon-

strated in Mexico City Monday night, demanding the students be returned alive. “They pretty much gave the same story as they had given two months ago. There are not many additional details,” said analyst Alejandro Hope. “They are searching for closure but I’m not sure they’re going to get it.” The attorney general has come under attack from many quarters, including the students’ relatives

and fire experts, who say the government’s version of what happened is implausible. Family members are still searching in hopes of finding the students alive. The Argentine Forensic Anthropologists, an independent team hired by parents to work with federal investigators, told The Associated Press on Sunday that there is still not “sufficient evidence” to link the charred remains found by authorities in a river in the town of Cocula to what happened at the garbage dump. Valentin Cornelio Gonzalez, 30, brother-in-law of missing student Abel Garcia Hernandez, said the shifting theories of what happened to the students have left him and other family members not believing anything that officials say. “On a personal level, it makes me mad because this is what they’ve always done,” he said of Tuesday’s announcement. “There’s no chance that the parents are going to believe the PGR (saying) that they’re dead. ... They are going to look for them alive.” Murillo Karam said the conclusion was made based on the testimony of a key suspect ar-

rested two weeks ago, Felipe Rodriguez Salgado, who said he was called to get rid of the students. There are also 39 confessions. Based on samples of gasoline, diesel and steel from burned tires, he said, they concluded that the amount of heat from the fire and the location could have kept the blaze going for hours, and that the remains were crushed afterward. Authorities say they were burned the night of Sept. 26 and over the next day, and their incinerated remains were bagged up and thrown into a nearby river. The remains in the bags found in the river had traces of the garbage dump where the fire occurred, Murillo Karam added. The scene of the crime was an 800-meter (yard) ravine that resembled a furnace, said criminal investigations chief Tomas Zeron. Murillo Karam said the information was based as well on 386 declarations, 487 forensic tests, 16 raids and two reconstructions. So far 99 people have been detained in connection with the crime, including the former mayor of Iguala, Jose Luis Abarca. Murillo Karam said the motive was that the members of a local gang, the Guerreros Unidos,

believed the young men were rival gang members when they hijacked some public transit buses in Iguala. But many of the suspects testified that they knew the men were students. The students, known for commandeering buses and taking over toll booths to support their leftist causes, said they were taking the buses for transport to an upcoming demonstration in Mexico City. “They thought they were infiltrated,” Murillo Karam said at the press conference, adding that there is no indication that the students were part of any criminal group. The case has sparked protests inside and outside Mexico over the four months since the students disappeared, and has forced the Mexican government to turn its attention from touting economic and education reforms to dealing with the country’s crime and insecurity problems. “We know the who, the what, the when and the where. We don’t know the why,” Hope said. “They have yet to tell a compelling story of why this happened. It doesn’t matter how many people they detain — unless they answer that question, the whole thing will remain under a halo of mystery.”

Japan Prime Minister calls latest hostage deadline ‘despicable’ By ELAINE KURTENBACH Associated Press

TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed outrage and demanded Wednesday that Islamic State extremists release a Japanese journalist, as secret talks in Jordan sought the release of the Japanese and a Jordanian pilot also being held hostage. The effort to free Japanese freelance journalist Kenji Goto and Jordanian Lt. Mu’ath alKaseasbeh gained urgency with the release of an apparent ultimatum late Tuesday from the Islamic State group. In the message, the extremists say the two hostages will be killed

within 24 hours — late Wednesday night Japan time — unless Jordan frees Sajida al-Rishawi, an Iraqi woman sentenced to death in Jordan for her involvement in a 2005 terrorist attack on a hotel that killed 60 people. “This was an extremely despicable act and we feel strong indignation. We strongly condemn that,” Abe said. “While this is a tough situation, we remain unchanged in our stance of seeking help from the Jordanian government in securing the early release of Mr. Goto.” In Jordan, the pilot’s father, Safi al-Kaseasbeh, beseeched the government “to meet the demands” of the Islamic State group.

“All people must know, from the head of the regime to everybody else, that the safety of Mu’ath means the stability of Jordan, and the death of Mu’ath means chaos in Jordan,” he told The Associated Press. About 200 of the pilot’s relatives protested outside the prime minister’s office in the Jordanian capital of Amman, chanting antigovernment slogans and urging that it meet the captors’ demands. A member of Jordan’s parliament said the country was in indirect talks with the militants to secure the hostages’ release. Bassam Al-Manasseer, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, told Bloomberg News the nego-

tiations are taking place through religious and tribal leaders in Iraq, adding that Jordan and Japan won’t negotiate directly with IS and won’t free al-Rishawi in exchange for Goto only. A prisoner exchange would be contrary to the policy of Jordan’s main ally, the U.S., which opposes negotiating with extremists. Manaseer’s comments were the strongest suggestion yet that Japan and Jordan might be open to a prisoner exchange. Japan’s Deputy Foreign Minister Yasuhide Nakayama was in Amman to coordinate hostagerelease efforts with Jordan, but refused comment on details of

the talks early Wednesday. Goto’s mother expressed hope for his release, but also desperation. “What has my child done wrong?” she said. “There’s no more time.” The hostage saga involving the two Japanese nationals has stunned Japan and triggered criticism of Abe over the handling of the crisis. The militants reportedly have beheaded one Japanese hostage, Haruna Yukawa. Tuesday’s video resembled a message released over the weekend showing a still photo of Goto holding what appeared to be a photo of Yukawa’s body. It with-

drew a demand for $200 million in ransom for Goto and Yukawa made in an earlier message. The AP could not independently verify any of the videos, all of which lack the logo of the Islamic State group’s al-Furqan media arm. But some militant websites affiliated with the Islamic State group referenced the latest video and posted links to it Tuesday. The latest message condemns Jordan for not releasing alRishawi, saying that unless she is freed within 24 hours, the pilot, followed by Goto, will be killed. It says it is the group’s last message.

Gunmen storm Libya hotel killing 10 By ESAM MOHAMED Associated Press

TRIPOLI, Libya — In the latest sign of Libya’s descent into chaos, gunmen stormed a luxury hotel used by diplomats and businessmen in the capital on Tuesday, killing 10 people, including an American, a French citizen and three people from Asia. Two attackers were killed following an hourslong standoff that included a car bomb that exploded in the parking lot of the seaside Corinthia Hotel. It was unclear if other gunmen were involved in the attack, which also killed five Libyan guards. In Twitter posts and a statement on social media, a Tripoli affiliate of the Islamic State group was said to be behind the attack, but there was little evidence to back up the claims in a country that has been awash in armed extremist groups who would be equally suspect. The SITE intelligence group reported that the two dead gunmen were identified online as sympathizers of IS and said the militants said the hotel was targeted because it houses diplomatic missions and “crusader” security companies. However, The Associated Press was unable to independently confirm the claims, which didn’t conform with the group’s earlier postings from Libya. Militants claiming the attack on behalf of a group called the Islamic State of the Tripoli Province posted a brief video showing burned cars in the hotel’s parking lot and said it was to avenge the 2013 abduction by American commandos of a Libyan al-Qaida operative, Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, also known as Abu Anas al-Libi. Al-Ruqai died earlier this month in a New York hospital of complications from liver surgery while await-

ing trial for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The assault highlights the growing threat from militant groups that operate with near impunity in a country torn between rival governments since the 2011 toppling and killing of dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Since Gadhafi’s ouster, the country has been torn among competing militias and tribes vying for power. Libya’s post-Gadhafi transition has collapsed, with two rival governments and parliaments — each backed by different militias — ruling in the country’s eastern and western regions. Amid the bloody political rivalry, multiple armed groups have emerged, including radical Islamist militias who have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, including one based in the eastern city of Derna, a stronghold of radical groups, as well as regional militias and groups loyal to the former regime. Tripoli, which has been controlled by Islamist militiamen mostly from the western city of Misrata since the summer, has been hit with a series of car bombs and shootings. The internationally recognized government has been forced to relocate to the country’s east, where a former general has waged an offensive against Islamist militias, including Ansar al-Shariah, blamed for the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi that left the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans dead. A senior U.S. State Department official confirmed that a U.S. citizen was among those killed in Tuesday’s attack, but did not provide further details. Cliff Taylor, the CEO of a Virginia security company, Crucible LLC, identified the slain American as David Berry, a contractor with his company.

A French national and three citizens of a former Soviet republic were also among the dead, according to a spokesman for a Tripoli security agency, Essam al-Naas. The Malta-owned Corinthia hotel, among the most luxurious in Tripoli, is frequented by diplomats and foreign businessmen visiting Libya, and is also where the United Nations support mission in Libya usually holds its meetings. The mission is currently hosting political talks with rival Libyan groups in Geneva, trying to resolve the country’s political and security crisis. The hotel had Italian, British and Turkish guests but was largely empty at the time of the attack, according to hotel staff members. There was also a visiting American delegation. The militia-backed government in Tripoli said the target was Prime Minister Omar al-Hassi, who normally resides at the hotel but was not there at the time of the attack. Spokesman Amr Baiou told reporters al-Hassi was unharmed. A security official in Tripoli, Omar al-Khadrawi, said initial investigations pointed to a group of former Gadhafi loyalists. Reports about how the attack unfolded were conflicting and it was not immediately possible to reconcile the different accounts. Hotel staffers initially said that five masked gunmen stormed the Corinthia after security guards at the hotel’s gate tried to stop them, firing randomly at the staff in the lobby as guests fled out the hotel’s back doors into the parking lot.

One staffer said a car bomb exploded in the parking lot after a protection force entered the lobby and opened fire on the gunmen. Two guards were immediately killed, according to the staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared being targeted by militants. The car bomb incinerated at least five cars in the parking lot and damaged windows in the hotel’s facade, he said. Al-Naas, the security agency spokesman, said after a standoff of several hours, the attackers threw a grenade at the security forces on the hotel’s 24th floor, killing themselves and a security guard. Ten people were also wounded in the attack, including security guards and guests. “The operation is over,” alNaas said but added that the streets around the Corinthia remained closed. He said an investigation was underway and the car used by the gunmen is believed to be the same one used in an assault on the Algerian embassy 10 days ago that wounded three guards. The U.N. Security Council condemned the attack “in the strongest terms” and urged all countries to help bring “the perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism to justice.” In a statement approved by all 15 members, the council also urged all parties in Libya “to engage constructively” with U.N. envoy Bernardino Leon and resume “an inclusive political process aimed at addressing the political and security challenges” facing Libya.

On Auschwitz anniversary, leader warns Jews again targets BRZEZINKA, Poland (AP) — A Jewish leader stood before 300 survivors of the Nazis’ most notorious death camp on Tuesday and asked world leaders to prevent another Auschwitz, warning of a rise of anti-Semitism that has made many Jews fearful of walking the streets, and is causing many to flee Europe. Ronald Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress, made his bleak assessment on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, speaking next to the gate and the railroad tracks that marked the last journey for more than a million people murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. He said his speech was shaped by the recent terrorist attacks in France that targeted Jews and newspaper satirists. “For a time, we thought that the hatred of Jews had finally been eradicated. But slowly the demonization of Jews started to come back,” Lauder said. “Once again, young Jewish boys are afraid to wear yarmulkes on the streets of Paris and Budapest and London. Once again, Jewish businesses are targeted. And once again, Jewish families are fleeing Europe.” The recent attack in Paris, in which four Jews were killed in a kosher supermarket, is not the first deadly attack on Jews in recent years. Last May a shooting killed four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels and in 2012 a rabbi and three children were murdered in the French city of Toulouse. Europe also saw a spasm of anti-Semitism last summer during the war in Gaza, with protests in Paris turning violent and other hostility across the continent. “This vilification of Israel, the only Jewish state on earth, quickly became an opportunity to attack Jews,” Lauder said. “Much of this came from the Middle East, but it has found fertile ground throughout the world.” One Holocaust survivor, Roman Kent, became emotional as he issued a plea to world leaders to remember the atrocities and fight for tolerance. “We do not want our past to be our children’s future,” the 85-year-old said to applause, fighting back tears and repeating those words a second time. U.S. President Barack Obama, who was in Saudi Arabia to pay respects after the death of King Abdullah, issued a statement paying tribute to the 6 million Jews and millions of others murdered by the Nazis. “The recent terrorist attacks in Paris serve as a painful reminder of our obligation to condemn and combat rising anti-Semitism in all its forms, including the denial or trivialization of the Holocaust,” Obama said. A U.S. delegation to the ceremony was led by Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.

SoHi cagers notch sweep of Kards By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

It may not have been pretty, but the SoHi boys escaped Tuesday night with their first Northern Lights Conference win of the season, holding off a frenzied rally by the Kenai boys to win 67-63. After scoring 17 first-half points that left them trailing by 24 at halftime, the Kardinals mounted a comeback that very nearly succeeded by piling up 46 second-half points. Kenai coach Ken Felchle said he has never seen a bigger rally from his boys squad in his time coaching the team. “I’ve never been a part of that or quite frankly, seen something of that level,” Felchle said. “First of all, credit to Soldotna. They came out and hit us in the face.” Seniors Joe Weltzin and Nate Spence led SoHi in scoring with 16 and 15 points, respectively. Weltzin said even though Kenai made a game of it in the end, it still felt good to snap a fourgame losing skid. “We got the W, which we need to lift us up right now,” Weltzin said. “We came out wanting to win and beat Kenai, but our third quarter all year has been the worst all year.” The Stars (1-2 in conference, 6-7 overall) scored 28 points in the second quarter to stake out a 41-17 lead at halftime. SoHi found most of its success by attacking the rim, with most of the damage coming from Spence. Spence was 6 of 7 from the line in the first half, and ended the game 9 for 11. SoHi was also deadly from beyond the arc. Dylan Kuntz came out firing from the 3-point line, sinking three treys in a

span of two minutes that lifted his team to a 23-11 lead early in the second quarter. “It was the best first half we’ve had this year, and it was the worst second half we’ve had,” said Soldotna coach Mark Tuter. “That’s pretty much been the picture of our season thus far.” SoHi also owned a 24-7 advantage on the boards in the first half. However, in their effort to sit on the lead and cruise to the win, the Stars nearly gave it away. Keith Ivy got the rally going with a pair of floaters in the first two minutes of the third quarter, then was joined by Marshall Vest, Jonah Theisen and Josh Jackman. Theisen scored a game-high 18 points. Vest in particular found the netting with ease, hitting two 3s and a jumper in a time span of less than two minutes. Jackman caught a defensive rebound and raced down the court to score a layup with 1:48 left in the third quarter to cut SoHi’s lead to 4737. “We just weren’t stepping out and defending them,” Tuter said. “We were letting them shoot, and I was screaming to step out and defend them.” The Kards ended up with four shots from beyond the arc in the quarter. SoHi senior Joe Weltzin countered for SoHi with two driving layups early in the fourth quarter to push the Stars back up by 14 points. “I got a little more height than they do, and just getting down low was helping,” Weltzin said. However, the Kards kept hitting back. Jackman nailed a 3 with 4:03 left in the third quarter, then Ivy followed with another trey with 3:23 remain-

ing to cut the lead back to 10 points. “I just put it on the shoulders of the guys,” Felchle said. “I asked them to play for each other, because it’s a lot easier to live with disappointing yourself, but a lot of times you can’t live with disappointing the ones that mean the most to you, your teammates.” Theisen found space on the outer edge and netted his second 3 with 1:52 left. On the ensuing SoHi possession, Ivy caught a steal and converted the transition layup to cut the Stars lead to 61-56 with 90 seconds to play. After the next SoHi possession came up empty, Ivy was fouled from the arc and stepped up for three free-throw attempts, hitting two of them to make it a one-possession game at 61-58. With 36 seconds left, Theisen grabbed an offensive rebound and put in the layup for a 62-60 score. However, that would be the closest the Kards came to completing the upset comeback. “They fought as hard as I’ve ever seen any team fight,” Felchle said. “I’m as proud as I can be.” Jackman helped Kenai out with three free-throw attempts after getting fouled from the arc with three seconds left, but Brooks Furlong sunk the second of two free throws with 2.3 ticks on the clock to seal the game. Ultimately, Soldotna ended up going 25 for 36 from the free-throw line.

defense to nab their first NLC win of the year Tuesday night at Soldotna. Senior Haley Miller led the Stars in a balanced effort with 10 points, while teammate Kelsey Jackson added six. Skylar Shaw, Lindsey Wong and Hayley Ramsell each chipped in five points as well. Kenai’s Abby Beck led the Kards with nine points, and Hannah Drury and Alli Steinbeck added four points each. “We ironed out some things in practice after last weekend,” said SoHi coach Kyle McFall. “We gambled too much on defense, so we gotta get smarter that way, but we’ll get better at that.” After a fairly even first quarter, Kenai cut Soldotna’s lead to 12-10 with four minutes remaining in the second quarter. From there, the Stars took control and hit 8 of 10 free throw attempts in the quarter. Soldotna scored 10 unanswered points to end the half for a 2210 lead. Miller caught fire in the third quarter to help push the lead to 28-11 with 4:29 to play, all while holding Kenai to six points. Kenai responded by keeping SoHi to two points in the entire fourth quarter, but it was not enough to make up the gap. Cook Inlet boys 51, Nanwalek 18

The host Eagles cruised to a Peninsula Conference win Tuesday. Timmy Smithwick paced CIA with 19 points, including Soldotna girls 34, Kenai 23 10 in a first quarter that saw Cook Inlet bolt to a 27-5 lead. The Stars managed to figure Xavier Romanoff had 10 for out Kenai’s notoriously tough Nanwalek.

The host Warriors used a stifling defensive effort to notch a Peninsula Conference victory Tuesday. Nikolaevsk allowed just eight points through the first three quarters to take control of the game. Serafima Kalugin had 18 points for the Warriors, while Kilina Klaich added nine. For Ninilchik, Olivia Delgado led the way with six points. Nikolaevsk boys 61, Ninilchik 51 The host Warriors dominated the first quarter en route to a victory over the Wolverines on Tuesday. Nikolaevsk won the first quarter 18-5 and was able to keep at least a 10-point lead after each quarter. The Warriors got it done with balanced scoring, as Jonah Fefelov had 17, Neil Gordeev had 14, and Nikit Fefelov and Felemon Molodih had 10 apiece. For Ninilchik, Tyler Presley poured in 21, while Austin White added 20. Tuesday girls Warriors 38, Wolverines 16 Ninilchik Nikolaevsk

Bulls end Warriors’ home win streak By The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. — Derrick Rose hit a step-back jumper with 7 seconds remaining in overtime, and the Chicago Bulls ended Golden State’s franchiserecord 19-game home winning streak with a thrilling 113-111 victory over the Warriors on Tuesday night. Rose dribbled to his left and created space to get the shot off over Klay Thompson, skipping around the court after the Warriors called timeout. Rose finished with 30 points, and his final basket overshadowed a night when he committed a career-high 11 turnovers and made just 13 of 33 shots. CAVALIERS 103, PISTONS 95

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Kyrie Irving matched his season high with 38 points and LeBron James added 32 to lift the Cleveland Cavaliers to their seventh straight victory. The Cavs avenged a 23-point home loss to Detroit late last month. That game was part of a seven-game winning streak for the Pistons, but now Detroit is struggling to overcome the loss of Brandon Jennings, who ruptured his left Achilles tendon last weekend and will miss the rest of the season. BUCKS 109, HEAT 102 MIAMI — Brandon Knight had 17 points and six assists and the Milwaukee Bucks put seven players in double figures on the way to beating the Miami Heat. Khris Middleton also scored 17 for the Bucks, who got 15

from Jerryd Bayless, 14 from O.J. Mayo, 13 from Giannis Antetokounmpo, 12 from John Henson and 11 from Chris Dudley. GRIZZLIES 109, MAVERICKS 90 DALLAS — Zach Randolph had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and the Memphis Grizzlies handed the Dallas Mavericks their first three-game losing streak of the season. Marc Gasol added 15 points and a game-high six assists for the Grizzlies, who won their fourth straight and eighth in their past nine games a night after finishing a season-long fivegame homestand. The only loss in that stretch was to Dallas last week at home. WIZARDS 98, LAKERS 92 LOS ANGELES — John Wall had 21 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds, and the Washington Wizards rallied from a 19-point deficit to send the Los Angeles Lakers to their ninth straight loss. Bradley Beal scored 19 points for the Wizards, who won their fifth straight over the Lakers. RAPTORS 104, PACERS 91 INDIANAPOLIS — DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points and Kyle Lowry added 19 to lead Toronto to the win. The Atlantic Division-leading Raptors (30-15) overcame a sluggish first quarter to pick up their third straight win. The victory also gave Toronto a franchise record for most wins before the All-Star break.

ings this season with the Rangers, taking the first two at Madison Square Garden and outscoring them 13-4 overall. Halak beat them 3-0 on Jan. 13.

Henrik Lundqvist was also sharp for the Rangers in making 34 saves, but spent the third period hearing derisive chants of his name and others proclaiming, “You can’t beat us!”

Mikhail Grabovski returned from injury and scored in the first period, Matt Martin doubled the lead in the second, and Ryan Strome and All-Star John Tavares had goals in the third.

No. 14 VCU pulls away from George Washington By The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. — Freshman Terry Larrier scored 15 points and No. 14 VCU pulled away with a 16-2 run early in the second half to beat George Washington 72-48 on Tuesday night for its 12th consecutive victory. Larrier’s point total was his highest since conference play began for the Rams (17-3, 7-0 Atlantic 10), and it came on a night when VCU scoring leader Treveon Graham managed just seven points on a still-tender left ankle and struggling Melvin Johnson continued to do so, scoring eight on 4 of 10 shooting. Kethan Savage scored 18 to lead

George Washington (16-5, 6-2) and with foul trouble all night.

No. 17 WEST VIRGINIA 65, KANSAS STATE 59 MANHATTAN, Kan. — Tarik Phillip matched a career-high 12 points and West Virginia, relying on its high-pressure defense, shut down Kansas State for a victory. In a game marred by fouls and poor play, the Mountaineers (17-3, 5-2 Big 12) forced the Wildcats (12-9, 5-3) into 25 turnovers while holding them to 36 percent shooting from the field.

Sports Briefs Woods has teeth back after incident at World Cup SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Tiger Woods was all smiles Tuesday — and with a full set of teeth. Woods gave a play-by-play account of how his front tooth was knocked out in Italy on Jan. 19 while celebrating girlfriend Lindsey Vonn’s record 63rd World Cup victory. He said one tooth was chipped and the other was cracked. Both were replaced before he arrived to start his season at the Phoenix Open. He said he wore a skeleton-patterned scarf over his face to avoid being recognized, making a crack about how difficult that can be for a man of black heritage at a World Cup ski race in Italy. “Not a lot of brown dudes at ski races, OK?” he said with a laugh, as cameras clicked at his smile. Woods said when the race was completed, the podium presentation was moved up on a hill for the photographers. He went to the top of the hill, behind the cameras. “All the camera guys are below me on their knees or moving all around, trying to get a picture because she’s hugging people, saying congratulations to the other racers as they are coming down,” he said. “Some already finished, some are there already in the changing area. Dude with a video camera on his shoulder right in front me, kneeling, stood up and turned and caught me square on the mouth.”

Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao exchange phone numbers MIAMI — Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have finally met — in person. And now talks might get serious about them meeting in the ring. The fighters were both sitting courtside, directly across from one another, at a Miami Heat game on Tuesday night. Mayweather went over to Pacquiao at halftime, the men shook hands and chatted briefly, then exchanged phone numbers. “He gave his number to me and said we will communicate with each other,” said Pacquiao, adding that he had never before met Mayweather in person. Asked to clarify if the exchange meant the two would negotiate directly about meeting in the ring, Pacquiao said that was the case. Mayweather did not respond to a question asked by an AP reporter. “Not now,” one of his security guards said, as Mayweather fiddled with his phone. A bout between the two would almost certainly be the richest ever in boxing, potentially grossing as much as $250 million. Mayweather’s take alone could exceed $100 million. Mayweather said last month that he’s ready to make the fight happen May 2. Asked Tuesday if that date can finally be the one, Pacquiao — who has said it’s time to give boxing fans what they want — nodded and said “yes.”

Keys knocks Venus out of Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Australia — Madison Keys defeated one Williams sister Wednesday at the Australian Open. On Thursday, the 19-year-old American will try to make it two, and this sibling might be a little tougher, even with a cold. Keys overcame a left thigh injury to beat No. 18-ranked Venus Williams 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 and advance to the last four against top-ranked and 18-time major winner Serena Williams, who had little trouble beating last year’s finalist, Dominika Cibulkova, 6-2, 6-2. In men’s play, defending champion Stan Wawrinka beat Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (6) to avenge a five-set loss to the Japanese star in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open last year. Wawrinka, who let slip a 6-1 lead in the third-set tiebreaker and eventually needed six match points to close it out, will play the winner of the Novak Djokovic-Milos Raonic night match on Rod Laver Arena. Serena Williams made her win look easy despite suffering from a bad cold the past few days. She — The Associated Press spoke with a hoarse voice in her post-match interview on court.

a sweep of the Hoyas. Davis went 6 for 9 from the field, including back-to-back 3-pointers to cap an 18-4 run in which the Musketeers totally shut down Georgetown’s motion offense. Aaron Bowen made a layup with 11:17 remaining in the first half, and the Hoyas didn’t make another field goal until Isaac Copeland’s mid-range buzzer-beater made the score 29-16 at halftime. Georgetown got as close as seven late in the second half, but the Hoyas went cold again — going more than three minutes without a field goal — as Xavier (147, 5-4 Big East) closed with a 12-6 run to snap a five-game road losing streak.

Beast’s plan: Don’t get fined ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

PHOENIX — Marshawn Lynch smiled politely, waved at the crowd and answered every question the same. “I’m here so I don’t get fined,” the Seattle Seahawks’ star running back constantly repeated for five minutes before leaving the podium at Media Day on Tuesday. It’s not clear if his plan will work. About 200 reporters crowded around Lynch’s podium for at least 15 minutes before he arrived. But the media-shy Lynch made it clear right from the start he wasn’t saying anything except variations of his scripted answer. Lynch set a timer on his phone and told everyone he showed up just to avoid a fine. Lynch caught a bag of Skittles tossed from Olympic gold medal gymnast Shawn Johnson and stopped to pick up a reporter’s recorder off the floor before he walked away. Lynch later spoke to “Entertainment Tonight” about his foundation, the “Fam 1st Family Foundation.” The Professional Football Writers of America was talking to the league about the session and Lynch had been apprised of a potential fine. He is also re-

quired to be at media sessions Wednesday and Thursday. In November, the NFL fined Lynch $50,000 for violations of the league’s media policy in addition to collecting the $50,000 fine that was imposed against Lynch for violations last season. The fine from 2013 was held in anticipation of future cooperation from Lynch. “I’m fine sitting up here, but not everybody is comfortable with it so I don’t think he should be forced to do it,” AllPro cornerback Richard Sherman said. Lynch has much more to say when the price is right. Insurance company Progressive and candy maker Skittles released commercials featuring Lynch saying a bit more than his usual: “Yeah” and “Nope” and “Thanks for asking.” At Media Day last year, Lynch’s reclusiveness became a major story. Lynch appeared for 6 1/2 minutes, left the arena, and then returned to a “mixed zone” the NFL created for players not on podiums or in microphone-equipped speaking areas at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. With the exception of briefly speaking with the NFL Network’s Deion Sanders, to the Seahawks’ website, and to Armed Forces Network, he

did not deal with reporters that day. Sanders, the Hall of Fame cornerback, tried again to interview Lynch, but got nowhere this time and left laughing. Teammates defended Lynch’s behavior. “This is who he is. I don’t nitpick or judge, so I just accept a person for who they are,” AllPro safety Earl Thomas said. “I just love who he is. He is so random.” Sherman even continued answering questions after the 60-minute session ended. “I don’t think (players) should be obligated any more than the commissioner is obligated to speak to the media,” Sherman said. “I think that if players are going to be obligated to speak to the media then every one of the NFL personnel should be obligated to speak to the media weekly, and that’s not the case. “It’s unfortunate, but I think that every team should be forced to present certain players, obviously a few of them. Obviously, if someone is uncomfortable in front of the media and uncomfortable answering questions, then you have to find a way to accommodate the NFL. This is a game; you find a way to accommodate everyone else who’s uncomfortable.”

sembly does not complete their process until June, meaning the school district will not know the final amount the assembly will appropriate until that time, he said. Last year the assembly allocated $44 million to the school district, Jones said. This is what the school district is projecting to receive again in the preliminary budget, he said. However, the borough could potentially fund the school district an additional $4.7 million this year, Jones said. “They have the potential to solve our problem,” Jones said. This year the school board will have to decide whether or not the district will make small cuts, dip into the fund balance, or stay on the same path until drastic cuts are necessary, Jones said. At this point the useable funds in the fund balance would not cover the projected $3.9 million, according to the preliminary budget. While the overall fund balance is projected to be at $15.5 million for the 2016 fiscal year — called the “unassigned” portion of the balance — only $3.5 will be accessible to the school board, Jones said. “At some point it time it (the fund balance) has to quit going down,” Jones said. “Otherwise it won’t be there.” The school board will begin deciding how to address the deficit at their Feb. 3 meeting, Jones said.

this year, Jones said. Gov. Bill Walker announced cuts to education funding during the State of the Budget speech on Jan. 22, he said. “In my endorsed budget, the K-12 formula funding remains intact, but I’ve eliminated the one-time funding added last year,” Walker said. “This equates to a 2.5 percent funding reduction.” For the school district that will likely mean $2.2 million in reduced revenue, Jones said. That loss would bring the overall deficit to $8.7 million, he said. The district had to examine the potential of their revenue sources going into the budget process, Jones said. The school district has two main funding sources, Jones said. The state provides 70 percent of the school district’s annual revenue and the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly allocates the remaining 30 percent, he said. In Walker’s recommended budget, municipalities will receive $57 million dollars in revenue sharing, which is $3 million less than last year. “Can we look to the borough when they are going to be a target of funding cuts as well?” Jones said. Another challenge with the budget process is that the school board is required to fiReach Kelly Sullivan at kelly. nalize the document by April, sullivan@peninsulclarion.com. Jones said.

Recreation built their own 20,000-square-foot rink cover system for around $50,000. The cover is four inches deep, it can be driven on, and it can be assembled and put in place in 4 1/2 hours. In the near future, Carmichael said he envisions several more improvements to the city’s recreational facilities. Those include a skating path at Soldotna Creek Park, a comprehensive community activity calendar and improvements to the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. Carmichael said that the harsh weather often delays or shortens schools’ baseball, soccer and football seasons. To provide space for numerous activities, a 200-by-150-foot turf playing surface, encompassed by an inflatable dome with a base measuring 250-by-200 feet has been proposed. The proposed structure would be adjacent to the sports complex. Carmichael said the dome proposal has many benefits. He said that it would cost approximately one-third the price of a traditional building to construct, and operating costs of the proposed dome would be 36 percent of that of the Sports Center. Carmichael said that just to replace the current roof of the Sports Center cost $1.2 million, whereas to replace a dome of the same square footage in

The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District scaled back after-school activities when the temperature by noon failed to rise above minus 42, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. Alaska Department of Transportation spokeswoman Meadow Bailey said the agency sent out sanding trucks but idled plows to protect them from breaking down. Coldfoot, a truck stop 180 miles north of Fairbanks and 60 miles above the Arctic Circle, recorded a reading of 53 below zero. Bookkeeper Kate Zielinski said she’s seen colder. “About three years ago, we had minus 72 here at Coldfoot,” Zielinski said. “It’s funny. This is not too far from normal. Because we haven’t had any cold weather this winter, everyone is complaining about it.” Huslia, Bettles, Fort Greely and Arctic Village reported temperatures in the lower 50s below zero. Fort Wainwright Army Post recorded a reading of minus 48, but many soldiers missed it. They’re in California for training in preparation for a deployment. Forecasters had predicted milder-than-normal temperatures for January. “I don’t think the weather got the notice,” said National Weather Service forecaster Lindsay Tardif-Huber. The cold should linger for another day or so, she said.

a higher potency. She raised other issues that the Law Department feels need further discussion, including whether a minor who has marijuana will be treated the same as a minor who has alcohol, what the penalty will be for violating community decisions to prohibit the new industry, and what will happen if someone tries to bring marijuana into a correctional facility. Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority CEO Jeff Jessee reminded the committee that it has the constitutional right to amend the initiative for the next two years, and repeal it after that. He suggested extending the rulemaking timeline to better consider all of the issues involved. When asked about the possibility of repeal during a Senate majority press conference Monday, lawmakers were noncommittal. In the short term, they have emphasized that they are trying to write the rules to uphold the will of the people. C

Wolf’s term is set to expire in October. If Duncan turns in the petition with the required signatures before April 10, a special election within District 1 would take place to determine Wolf’s future on the assembly. Blankenship said the special election would come at a cost to the borough and the policy recommends the recall to be a vote-by-mail election. Blankenship said in her time at the borough there were two petitions in 2006 to recall thenBorough Mayor John Williams and assembly member Gary Superman. Both petitions were

denied. Duncan, who is the nephew of Assembly President Dale Bagley, said his uncle has not influenced his action in any way. Duncan said he talked with his uncle, who advised him against the petition, but said it was within his rights. The assembly is not involved in the recall process, Blankenship said. Wolf said he is not going to make any comments until the borough attorneys have reviewed the petition. “It is not a story until it is certified,” he said. “Anybody can do this and get their 15 seconds of fame because they are upset. I have been down this road before. It’s a trial by fire.” In a previous Clarion in-

terview Wolf said his position on marijuana stems from two friends that committed suicide while using marijuana. He said despite passing statewide, voters in the Kenai Peninsula voted against legalization and he said he is fighting for people that may not want grow operations in their neighborhoods. The ordinance is set for a public hearing on Feb. 24, the day marijuana is legalized in Alaska. If passed, the question to ban commercial marijuana cultivation outside of borough municipalities will go to voters in a ballot initiative in the October borough election.

North of Fort Collins, Colorado, 1947- 48

ad and Mom needed to add on to the old farm house as the family had grown by two more children, Elaine in 1945 and Jim in 1947. Dad and Grandpa Cosgwell and a few other fellow neighbors hand dug the hole that became the basement and bedrooms for Uncle Guy and brother John. This most labor intense remodel began in 1947, the year my brother, Jim, was born. The little two bedroom house was bursting at the seams with five McClure kids. Dad and Grandpa began by handdigging the basement under the existing house. They disposed of the dirt with buckets and wheelbarrows full, pushed up a steep incline built from plywood. Shoring up the existing house, then building cement forms was next on the list. The next step was to borrow a cement mixer with a loud gas motor. They hand shoveled gravel, sand and cement into the large mouth of the mixer, adding water, which at times was my contribution to the biggest job ever tackled on the farm. The forms were filled with cement, by a wheelbarrow full of cement, carefully guided down the steep incline and poured into the deep trenches of the forms. I still remember Dad and Grandpa saying “Whoeee — we are getting there, one wheelbarrow of cement at a time — will this ever end?” Those forms were finally filled — I cannot remember if the floor had been poured before or after ... then the basement bedrooms were built that winter, a playroom added. A large pantry was built in the laundry room, with long shelves going from floor to ceiling, that Mom filled every year with her canned pickles, vegetables and fruit. The next spring, 1948, we moved to that basement, converting the laundry room into a kitchen, electric stove installed, table and chairs and Jimmy’s high chair at one side, the washing machine at the other side. Mom’s pantry closed off on the east wall. We were snug, crowded and for the most, happy. (This is the place where I performed the hair cut with the big kitchen shears on my little brother, Jim, after I tied him down with a tea-towel in the high chair. I also made the total flop of a chocolate cake from the recipe off the soda box. We ate it with spoons. Well, I was trying to help! I was 11 years old.) Dad and Grandpa tore down the old part of the house that was, at one time, used for a porch, but converted into a cold breezy large kitchen with the old black coal burning cook stove. I have no idea what happened to that old stove! Or the red handled water pump that was in the sink, positioned above the cistern. When I see the pictures See GRANNIE, page B-2

A battle for the best 7-layer dip By ALISON LADMAN Associated Press

The Seattle dip is made with teriyaki-seasoned Dungeness crabmeat, creamy cheese, caramelized onions, smoked mussels, purple cabbage slaw and blackberry vinaigrette. The New England dip is made with barbecued pulled pork topped with skillet sauteed apples and butter.

The Super Bowl isn’t just about the Patriots vs. the Seahawks. It’s also about teriyaki-spiced crabmeat and smoked mussels vs. baked beans, barbecue pulled pork and apples with bacon. That’s because we decided the battle on the gridiron should continue on the buffet. So we created two versions of that classic party pleaser — sevenlayer dip. Each is inspired by the home of one of the teams facing off in the big game, New England and Seattle. For the New England Patriots, we have barbecued pulled pork topped with skillet sauteed apples and butter.

of these two items I remember my days on the farm vividly! The living room of the old house was converted into a large spacious kitchen. Grandpa made cupboards from counter to the 10 foot ceilings. Large cupboard doors were varnished and installed by Grandpa. He was an expert at making cupboards and screen doors. Mom painted HER kitchen bright yellow, with bright apple red paint for the ceiling, because it made the ceiling not look so tall. It also turned our glasses of milk pink from the reflection off the red ceiling. The bedroom off the new kitchen remained Mom and Dad’s room.

There was a bedroom off the dinning room and a new bedroom that became Ginger and mine, off the new living room. This was supposed to be Mom and Dad’s but some kind of argument ensued and they stayed in the same bedroom until they left the farm. There was a big fireplace in the large, new living room with big “bay” windows. Dad and Grandpa built the fireplace. Mom picked out “blonde brick.” It was a masterpiece that Dad dreamed of laying in front of, with a big roaring fire, in the winter time. NOT SO! Mom did not like Dad dragging logs through the living room, over the beautiful new green carpet, to the fireplace. But most of all she did not like the terrible ash mess it left. So the wonderful, beautiful fireplace, was a focal point of a vase of flowers in front of it. The

The other argument that was never settled, was the new bathroom off a hallway, behind the kitchen. Dad wanted a shower installed and Mom wanted a bathtub. Dad said the bathtub used to much water from the cistern and Mom said the shower used to much water! So there was an empty place on the west wall with the stool at one end and the wash basin, medicine cabinet and a towel cupboard next to the door. We took our baths in the large cement laundry tubs in the basement! If you asked about the shower or the tub, Dad would say “Ask your Mom.” Mom would say “Ask your Dad.” End of that conversation.

Distillers borrow from brewers Low fuel prices By MICHELLE LOCKE Associated Press

A new flavor is brewing in the world of craft liquors as distillers borrow from the beer world and add hops for an aromatic twist. Recent products include hopped whiskies such as R5 from Charbay Artisan Distillery & Winery in the Napa Valley and Hopmonster from the Corsair Distillery with operations in Tennessee and Kentucky. Other examples include Hatter Royale from New Holland Brewing Co. in Michigan and Hopskey from Square One Brewery in St. Louis. In the non-whiskey category there’s Hophead Vodka from Anchor Distilling Co. in San Francisco and a hopped gin from the New York Distilling Co. Beyond the hard stuff, there’s even a half-dozen or so hopped hard ciders. The move, says H. Joseph Ehrmann, who carries several of the hop-flavored liquors at his Elixir bar in San Francisco, is inspired by the desire to stand out. “They’re up against the big boys, the big brands and they’re trying to make something that’s going to compete and be unique so that people aren’t looking at them as another bourbon or another American single malt.” It also tracks the boom in India pale ales — the hoppy beers beloved by craft beer enthusiasts — as well as the quest for innovative cocktails. Industry-wide, there’s been an explosion of flavored spirits in the past few years, especially the many shades of vodka, driven by efforts to attract new customers and expand shelf space. But Christopher Null, who blogs

about liquor at Drinkhacker. com, sees the hop-flavored spirits trend as less about growing market share and more about craft distillers getting in “mad scientist” mode, exploring the limits of what’s possible. Allen Katz, co-founder of New York Distilling, laughs at the mad scientist label, but concedes there’s may be some truth to it. “We’re just trying to have fun. We are trying to be purposefully different, not esoteric.” The Brooklyn distillery’s Chief Gowanus New-Netherlands Gin harks back to the days of early Dutch immigrants who were looking to recreate genever using readily available ingredients. In their case, it was rye. In this case, an unaged, double-distilled rye whiskey is put back in a traditional pot still with juniper and a small amount of cluster hops, distilled again, then finished off with three months in a barrel previously used to age rye.

In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage and chives. In another bowl, whisk together the jam, vinegar, a pinch each of salt and pepper, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a splash of hot sauce. To assemble the dip, spread the crab over the bottom of a large, shallow baking dish. Drizzle with the teriyaki sauce. Spread the whipped cream cheese over the crab, spreading evenly to the edge of the bowl. Spread the caramelized onions evenly over

“We’re trying to offer something that in our case has a historical context, which we like, but that most people have never experienced before,” says Katz. Aromatic and assertive, hop-flavored liquors aren’t for everyone, but they play well with people who are interested in the craft distilling scene and in trying new things, says Ehrmann. “It’s kind of like smoke or spice; you don’t get a huge amount of people who like it right off the bat.” Anchor Distilling Co. president David King says there are two types of people who like Hophead Vodka, “the really quite serious craft mixologists like it because it’s so unusual and the craft beer guys like it.” Though it’s definitely a niche market, sales have been steady, with 4,000 9-liter cases sold in the past 18 months, says King. “It’s an acquired taste, but the people that acquire it like it very much.”

King was literally led by the nose to the trend when he walked into the hop room of sister company Anchor Brewing and was struck by the rich, funky smell. “Have you tried distilling this?” he asked, and Hophead was born. Hop-flavored liquors are made in various ways, but the whiskies generally get their flavor by being distilled from consumer-ready, hoppy beers, as opposed to the much cheaper regular whiskey mashes. Charbay’s R5 Lot No. 3, the current release, is distilled from Bear Republic Brewery’s Racer 5 IPA beer and it takes 10 gallons of beer to make a gallon of whiskey, which is further reduced by the 3 percent “angel’s share” lost during barrel aging, says Susan Karakasevic, co-owner and general manager of Charbay. The process shows up in the price, around $80 a bottle. Charbay’s venture into hopflavored whisky dates back to 1999, when the father-son team of Miles (Susan’s husband) and Marko Karakasevic became intrigued by the idea of distilling bottle-ready beer. The first distillation used 20,000 gallons of Pilsner to create 1,000 gallons of whiskey. Charbay chose to release the ‘99 distillation in lots so customers could experience its aging.

help farmers By ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. — The recent plunge in fuel prices has been a welcome relief across the agricultural sector, helping ease the pain of low grain prices for growers and boosting profits for cattle ranchers. “Every movement we make in farming takes fuel,” Kansas cattle rancher and hay grower Randy Cree said. Livestock producers in the Midwest and vegetable growers in the Sun Belt alike are reaping the immediate benefits. And with average retail gas prices for 2015 forecast to be about $1 lower than last year, farmers this spring may end up planting more energy-intensive crops, such as corn or rice, as the cost to irrigate and cultivate drops. Consumers, however, shouldn’t expect to see lower prices at the supermarket. Transportation costs constitute only a small slice of those prices, and it takes months, if ever, for cost savings at the farm level to trickle to the shelf sticker. For years, Cree hasn’t been able to afford to fill the fuel tanks at his farm west of Lawrence. But with the local price of untaxed diesel and regular gasoline both below $2 a gallon, Cree plans to completely fill the two

con In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pork tenderloin with the broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until very tender, about 45 minutes. Discard the broth. Using 2 forks, shred the meat, then transfer to a medium bowl. Add the barbecue sauce and toss until coated While the pork cooks, prepare the other ingredients. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until smooth and fluffy. Stir in the sour cream, then set aside. In a medium skillet over mediumhigh heat, melt the butter. Add the

300-gallon and one 200-gallon tanks. It takes fuel to feed his 100 cows all winter long, fuel to drive to the feed store. The lower prices will also make “a big difference” this summer. Each time he harvests his hay, his tractor must make three trips over every field — one to mow it, one to rake it, and another to bale it. “We are hoping that for the first time in a long, long time to have the burden of high fuel prices off our backs — so we can maybe make a little bit of money this year,” Cree said. Farmers use mostly offroad diesel, for which they don’t pay federal and state taxes, in their tractors and other farm equipment. While diesel averages about 20 cents per gallon more than regular gasoline, road taxes alone can add 14 percent more at the pump. On-road diesel prices nationwide are forecast to average $1.86 a gallon this year — well below the $2.81 per gallon in 2014. And looking into 2016, prices are forecast to average $2.30 a gallon for on-road diesel, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That’s good news for farmers who depend on row crops, and who’ve seen farm income drop by as much as 50 percent because of low grain prices.

apples and cook until just tender. In a small bowl, stir together the corn kernels, scallions and hot sauce. To assemble the dip, spread the corn mixture over the bottom of a large, shallow baking dish. Top with the pork, then with the apples. Spread the whipped cream cheese evenly over the apples, spreading to the edge. Spoon the baked beans over the cream cheese, then top with the cheddar and bacon. If making ahead, wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, heat the oven to 350 F. Bake for 20 minutes, or until warmed through.

Husband hopes wife is willing to spice up their love life DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married for quite a while, and our intimate life became monotonous and unimaginative a long time ago. Over the years I have suggested we try things like role-playing and other non-extreme variations during intimate times. My suggestions were met with rolling eyes and retorts like, “I’m your wife, not a hooker.” I finally gave up and try to be content with what we have together. Then one evening she surprised me and did one of the things I had suggested. It was very nice and she seemed to like it, too. I didn’t know what to say to her. “Thank you” somehow seemed condescending. We have done nothing like it since. I doubt if the answer is in the etiquette books. What should I have said to her to let her know how much I appreciated her loosening up and hope it will perhaps make her more comfortable spicing things up in the future? — ETIQUETTE ADVOCATE IN SAN DIEGO DEAR ADVOCATE: Praise is a powerful incentive. Flowers would have been nice. But since you didn’t send any, try this: Invite your

Since he has never felt any breasts, if I tell him, my fear is he will get hung up on the thought, “I wonder what REAL breasts feel like.” On the other hand, if I don’t tell him and sometime in the future he finds out, he may be like, “I can’t believe you kept that from me.” What would you advise? — RETICENT IN KENTUCKY DEAR RETICENT: Many women have breast enhancement surgery so their figures will be more balanced. For the reason you have mentioned, you should tell your boyfriend. It should make no difference to him. However, if it does, it’s better that you know now before you spend any more time on someone who measures the worth of a woman by how “real” her breasts are. P.S. If he wants to know what “real” breasts DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a wonderful feel like, tell him to go hug his mother. man for two years and am in hopes of getting a proposal soon.

you’ll be full of amazing thoughts and energy in the afternoon. Others simply will kick back and observe. Remain open-minded, even if a partner or friend seems to be somewhat negative. Tonight: Out and about. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Use the morning for meetings and important get-togethers. You could be more tired than you realize, and might need to slow down in the afternoon. Squeeze in a nap if you can. Make it OK not to be so responsive right now. Tonight: Vanish into the night. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Be willing to voice your opinion in a group of friends; just know that you might not be thrilled by others’ reactions. You could try to coax them to see your side; however, this type of manipulation has the potential to backfire. Tonight: Just be yourself. Everything will work out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You could feel pressured, as people with different issues seem to appear around you. Your responsibilities might be unusually heavy, which will force you to say “no” to a situation in which you would prefer to be involved. Try to be diplomatic. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone whom you care a lot about. You might not have the right words to describe your feelings, but don’t underestimate the importance of your tone. You might need some downtime for yourself. Take it. Tonight: Grasp the big picture.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015: This year you often feel as if others stop you in your tracks. You will experience obstacles, but you also will learn how to bypass them. You need to listen to your inner voice. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone who could be your soul mate at any point this year. You will be clearly understood by this person. If you are attached, you and your sweetie see your bond strengthen this year. You also might go through a period of wanting different goals. Don’t worry about this disparity; it will work itself out. GEMINI always makes you smile. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your practical side will keep you anchored in the morning. By the afternoon, your imagination will add zest to any concept that enters your head. These two qualities tend to add to your success, though some people might find it confusing. Tonight: Meet friends for dinner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Use the morning for any heartfelt projects that you would like to complete. The afternoon could toss you into the financial realm, where you’ll gain more understanding of a money matter. Don’t be intimidated by someone who is more knowledgeable than you. Tonight: Your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Don’t get upset if you are dragging in the morning, because

HHHH You could be unusually preoccupied with a problem involving your finances. You won’t be able to change what has happened, but you can let go of what seems to be holding you back. Communication could be stifling at best. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s wishes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might be fixated on one issue or project, and perhaps haven’t noticed how much time you have spent on this matter. You could be disappointed by someone else’s reaction, or vice versa. Try to be as realistic as possible. Tonight: Make amends in a fun way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Where others don’t know how to resolve an issue, you’ll tap into your ingenuity. Your creativity seems endless and right on target. You could be a lot more isolated than you realize. Try adding more warmth to business-related conversations. Tonight: Leap into action. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHYou could be taken aback by a loved one’s efforts. You also might need to express your feelings to this person. Your creativity is often fed by your resilience. You know there is always an answer. Today, use that knowledge. Tonight: Time for some playfulness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You often are not aware of how you feel, as you tend to get involved in others’ matters. Stop and look within. You might want to put yourself first for a change. If you aren’t feeling up to snuff, you won’t be as centered as you might like to be. Tonight: Get some beauty sleep.

Red Spices Stay Cool Dear Readers: Take a peek in your spice drawer or spice rack. What do you see? If you see RED, then you might want to rethink where you should be seeing red! Most of us know to store spices within easy reach of the stove or cooktop. Of course, spices should be kept away from high heat, moisture and bright light. But did you know that certain spices (a clue here to the color red) should be stored in the refrigerator? Yep, red spices such as paprika, chili powder and cayenne pepper are best kept in the refrigerator to maintain color and flavor. This is especially true if you don’t use a lot and a bottle lasts a long time. — Heloise GREASE FIRE Dear Heloise: I have known for years that baking soda was good for extinguishing grease fires, but never gave it much thought. Recently, a pan of hot grease suddenly burst into flames. Fortunately, I had been using baking soda for a cleaning chore and left the box in plain sight on the counter. I grabbed the box and tossed a handful of the soda on the flames (Heloise here: Toss the baking soda toward the base of the flames). The fire disappeared immediately! — Wanda B., Sawyer, Okla. So glad you were able to handle the fire and stay safe! Remember, this is for small kitchen flare-ups! Always try to put the lid on to smother the fire, and turn off the heat. Yes, baking soda is handy for many situations, and I have more hints available in my Heloise’s Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet. To order one, please send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (70 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Your hint about keeping a box of baking soda handy is sound advice. It’s a cheap product that serves so many purposes. — Heloise

In an effort that is sure to become a hallmark of your Good Neighbor Soldotna Professional Pharmacy “Sync my Meds” has been launched for the New Year. In a day when multiple prescriptions are common place, yet frequency and amounts may vary greatly the professionals at Soldotna Pharmacy have created an original program that can eliminate making multiple trips

each month to the pharmacy, worrying about running out of refills or waiting for drugs to be in stock. “We just started it this month because we have a lot of clients that have been spending a lot of their time coming to town to get medications periodically through the month. So we wanted to devise a way to cut down on those trips and help people get everything at once. We now have a staff dedicated to helping people get their medications all together so they can get everything just once a month and have more time to enjoy their regular life,” said Pharmacist Justin Ruffridge. The consultation service is free, “And we are also offering free delivery to those people who sign up for the no charge Sync my Meds service. We do door step delivery in the area from Nikiski to Kasilof. We even call you when your meds are ready and give you a choice of pack-

aging bottles or medset,” added Ruffridge. The Sync My Meds staff Alyse Bell, Marina Holt and Trish Notter are available daily Mon.Fri. 9:00am-6:30pm, “We will go through everything you take currently and how much you have, we ask people to bring in what they are taking in a little baggie, whether it’s from this pharmacy or another we can sit down and figure what you have and what you need so everything gets balanced out and set up on the same day of the month. We renew everything monthly, this is not a computer program this is a personal and individualized service and no matter how many prescriptions you have we’d love to talk with you about syncing your meds. We’ll contact your physician when needed, order the drugs you need and have everything ready on the same day each month so that you don’t have

to wait, or worry about running out. When all of your prescriptions are ready, we’ll call you so you can pick them up at the same time or you can take advantage of our free delivery system,” explained Ruffridge.

Tina Wegener addresses Soldotna Rotary on Affordable Healthcare Act.

Tina Wegener at PCHS can help you navigate the new healthcare laws & penalties.

Now that the New Year is underway and tax season is right around the corner Peninsula Community Health Services of Alaska (PCHS) through their outreach and enrollment program is reaching out to help local people navigate through the new healthcare laws and penalties. In an address last week to the Soldotna Rotary Club Tina Wegener, PCHS outreach and open enrollment coordinator said, “My job in essence is to help people navigate and under-

you file your taxes you will be paying a fine or penalty if you don’t have coverage. I can help you understand the law and walk you through the process and fill out the forms that you’ll have to be looking at. If you were uninsured for part of the year that’s okay you won’t be charged the whole fine. There are different tax thresholds which is something we can help people with as well,” she said. While there are those who feel it may still cost less to pay the penalty than

PCHS open enrollment helps to understand Health Care insurance requirements stand what the affordable healthcare act, commonly known as Obamacare is and what the penalties are and what it could mean to their futures and the futures of their businesses. I don’t try to force anyone into purchasing insurance that’s not my job, I’m there to listen, help and get them to understand what is happening. If they decide after talking with me they want insurance then I’m more than happy to help them apply through the market place and enroll for the insurance

packages that we offer. I understand people’s frustration with the new laws and I’m all about having a cup of coffee, leaving the frustrations at the door and helping you as much as I can. If I don’t know I’ll be sure to get you the answer to your questions,” said Wegener. Wegener says 2015 is the first year that tax penalties will be assessed to the uninsured, “Bottom line is if you don’t have insurance it’s going to cost you money. The law is that when

to pay for the insurance Wegner says, “Not necessarily true, it depends on your income. Some people for this year may only be paying a $95 penalty or 1% of their income depending on how much they earned. Starting 2015 that jumps up to $325 or 2% of your income whichever is larger,” she explained. Wegener’s position is funded through a federal grant and her services are offered free to the public. You can participate in the open enrollment program by calling

I do like my Sundays off but love my job because it’s helping people and I’m willing to meet people even on Sunday if that’s the only day they have available. I can be available in the evenings for those with day jobs and we have a person on staff at PCHS Mon-Fri to make appointments her name is Kelly Whitmore,” said Wegner.

VFW Post commander Mike Meredith thanks Soldotna City Council for their support of the Iron Mike veterans memorial.

Iron Mike memorial coming to Soldotna Creek Park.

The Soldotna City Council at their January 14th meeting unanimously passed a resolution to officially support the implementation of an Iron Mike Statue in the Soldotna Creek Park. According to Mike Meredith VFW Post # 100046 commander “Iron Mike” is a de facto or nick name of monuments honoring service men and women depicting their bravery. During the major renovations of Soldotna Creek Park flag poles and a pedestal were erected at the front of the park, “The city came forth and put a nice monument in there. It has three flag poles and has a pedestal with 5 sides representing all of the 5 branches of the military service, so we want to top it off with a real nice bronze statue, like the one at Ft. Bragg

Herb Stettler of VFW Post #100046 tells the Soldotna City Council about the progress of the Iron Mike statue.

that has become known as Iron Mike,” Stettler told the Council during public testimony. The statue will stand about five feet high, weigh nearly a ton and cost approximately $48,000. “This has been a community effort,” said Soldotna VFW Post commander Mike Meredith, “Not just the VFW but everyone across the board and it has made me proud of them and all the support that has come from the city council and parks and rec. department. It’s going to be beautiful. Whether in the winter or summer all visitors to the park we be greeted with the remembrance that we are free to enjoy this beautiful home of ours because of the fighting men and women of our military services.” The funds for the statue are also being

raised from a broad community base, “We still have some fund raising to do and are looking for sponsorships, we don’t want the City to have to pay for it all and we weren’t asking for financial support tonight, they have already done so much it makes me proud to live here and to be part of this happening. Our post will be raising some funds for the purchase, transportation and installation. We may be calling on some local businesses to finish it off but anyone interested in helping can get in touch with me at the VFW in Soldotna and we’ll let you know how you can help and hopefully this spring Iron Mike will be here to help us all remember those who have served so we may live free,” said Meredith.

CPH Auxiliary awards $2,500 scholarship for lactation specialization

Jim Childers CPH volunteer coordinator, Jane Stein & CPH Auxiliary members congratulate Laura William, obstetrics technician.

Thanks to the Auxiliary at Central Peninsula Hospital (CPH) Laura Williams, an obstetrics technician will be able to become a lactation consultant after receiving specialized training in Anchorage. Fol-

lowing her training Williams says she will return to continue services for local moms, “I’ve been interested since Kris Waycum a nurse in our department who is a lactation consultant with a passion for breast

feeding came to me saying she would be retiring in November and wanted someone to carry on in her place. So I stepped up and she took me under her wing and has been supporting me through the process,” she

said. According to Williams about one third of mothers have problems with breast feeding, “We know that statistically and then new moms always need some help. To make the process work isn’t as easy as you might

think. The baby has to do certain things, the mom has to do certain things and once they meld together we get healthy moms and healthy babies.” Williams said the scholarship will help cover the expenses of the training and living expenses that would have been difficult for her to meet without the assistance. At a special check presentation last week Jim Childers, CPH volunteer coordinator explained how the auxiliary raised the funds and chose Williams as a recipient. “Most of the funding for our scholarships come from the gift shop here at the hospital. The gift shop is run solely by volunteers, from the purchasing to sales, and bookkeeping. Seventy percent of that business comes from CPH employees, so we focus our scholarships on those who will bring back their services here to our community rather than funding scholarships for those who will take their training and services to other places outside. Laura was a perfect candidate for our mission that starts here at the hospital and ends here at the hospital,” said Childers. “The Auxiliary has committed its resources to help the hospital, and work more closely with the Central Peninsula Health Foun-

dation. We have budgeted more money to help the hospital and Heritage Place purchase equipment which will increase the patient’s or resident’s care. The Scholarship fund was also increased significantly to $8,000 for senior students, and another $10,000 for Employees scholarships in 2015,” he said. According to Childers last year the Auxiliary teamed up with the Central Peninsula Health Foundation to purchase a Lucas Compression CPR System which cost $17,000. This has helped in the Emergency Department to give consistent and continued compressions freeing up staff and guaranteeing proper compressions. At the same time the team bought 2 slider chairs for HP residents which lock, decreasing the chance for falls when a resident stands. Williams encouraged moms to learn more about the services by calling CPH, “Right now we’re only open four hours a week on Wednesday’s but we hope to expand as time goes on but mothers in need please call and we’ll even come in on our days off, any day any time,” said Williams. There are many opportunities to volunteer at the hospital. If you would like more information please contact Jim Childers, Volunteer Coordinator at CPH.
