Ice jam triggers flooding, road closures An ice jam in the Kenai River caused water to flow in a Soldotna neighborhood Monday afternoon, triggering a flood warning and road closures. The ice jam is causing flooding on the south side of the Kenai River in the Riverside Drive subdivision, the flood warning from the National Weather Service said. As of Monday morning, the water was flowing over Riverside Lane and Eddy Lane near Soldotna. The Kenai Peninsula Borough responded to the flooding Monday morning, which was reported near the Big Eddy State Recreation Site, Dan Nelson, emergency manager for the borough, said. Vehicle access is not possible past Amiyung Court on Eddy Lane, Nelson said, and impassable roads have been barricaded. The borough is encouraging residents to travel safe and to not drive down closed roads. Nelson said residents in affected areas have been checked on and are safe. There are no reports of flooding across the river in the Ciechanski Day Use Area and the Ciechanski Road Subdivision, which the borough surveyed Monday afternoon. Nelson said there isn’t a whole lot the borough can do, but the staff is monitoring the situation. With continued cold temperatures in the forecast, Nelson said he expects the situation to remain static.
New limits set on individual alcohol possession BETHEL — New laws limiting the amount of alcohol that can be legally possessed took effect in a southwest Alaska community. The new rules went into effect Monday, two days after the city’s only liquor store was set to close, KYUK-AM reported. Under the rules, a person of legal drinking age cannot possess more than 10.5 liters of distilled spirits, 6.3 gallons of wine or either 12 gallons of beer or a half keg of beer, which holds 15.5 gallons. Luggage flown into Bethel will need to be See news, Page A2

Report: 2020 job trends modest By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
A new report predicts the state and borough are expected to see small and slow job growth into 2020. The state is anticipating more growth this year than during the recession of the previous three, but at a slower rate of 0.3% — or about 1,100 new jobs, according to Alaska Economic Trends, a January research analysis from the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. In 2019, Alaska added roughly
1,600 jobs. During the recession of the three prior years, the state lost more than 11,000 jobs. Many of the jobs are expected to be in the military with a wave of new personnel at Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks and in the tourism industry, due to expected increases in cruise ship visitors. According to the report, the Kenai Peninsula Borough, the Valdez and Cordova census area and Kodiak Island — categorized by the state as the Gulf Coast Region — saw a 0.7% See trends, Page A3

Bolton willing to testify at trial Study sees
value in dead yellow cedar trees By Peter Segall Juneau Empire
Democrats are seeking. Pelosi did not provide any clues about her next steps Monday. But in a tweet she said Trump and McConnell have “run out of excuses” for not calling witnesses or producing documents that Trump has blocked. Trump told Rush Limbaugh on his radio show that the whole process is “sad for our country” and suggested that Pelosi doesn’t want a trial. “She doesn’t want to get a vote because how could anybody possibly — it’s totally partisan,” Trump said. Bolton’s testimony would inject an element of unpredictability to an impeachment trial that is widely expected to end with Trump’s acquittal. He clashed with Trump while working at the White House, and the two men offered differing versions of whether he resigned or was fired when he left office. Should he testify, Bolton would almost certainly be asked about a comment he is said to have made that he did not want to be “part of whatever drug deal” European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland and White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney were “cooking up” as Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate Democrats. That pressure, as Trump was withholding security aid to Ukraine, was at the heart of the inquiry in the House, which voted to impeach Trump on Dec. 18.
As warming temperatures in Southeast Alaska continue to kill off more and more yellow cedar, a group of researchers see an opportunity for logging the dead wood. A new study from the Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center and the University of Alaska Southeast looked into the viability of harvesting the growing numbers of dead yellow cedar trees. “We went into this project because we know there were these stands of dead wood,” said Allison Bidlack, director of the ACRC. “If you wait much later, you get past 30, 40 years, the wood properties start to degrade.” Bidlack and her team wanted to look at whether harvesting these dead trees could be a profitable enterprise for small mill operators in Southeast Alaska. The answer, according to the study, is a highly qualified yes. Dead cedar can still be a high enough quality to bring to market, but the main problem is accessing it, the study says. “Yellow-cedar usually represents a small percentage of a timber stand’s total volume, many stands that look promising for salvage at first glance are actually made up of widely scattered trees and are not practical sites for efficient harvesting,” the study says. There are a number of other impediments to harvesting cedar, such as equipment and mill processing, but the researchers believe the wood presents an economic opportunity. Bidlack and her colleagues worked with the U.S. Forest Service and five mill operators in Southeast to determine the viability of dead yellow cedar harvest. “They were or already had been working with dead yellow cedar,” Bidlack said. “They had had varying experience. The longer the tree’s been dead, the more difficult it can be to work with it. Most of them would like to work with it because it’s valuable.” Yellow cedar is an attractive wood for lumber harvest because of its high resilience, according to Wes Tyler, co-owner of Icy Straits Lumber in

Demonstrators gather Monday in the Senate Hart Office Building on Capitol Hill to call for President Donald Trump’s removal from office.
By Zeke Miller, Mary Clare Jalonick and Eric Tucker Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Former White House national security adviser John Bolton said he is “prepared to testify” if he is subpoenaed by the Senate in its impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, a surprise statement that bolstered Democrats in their push for new witnesses. Bolton, who left the White House in September, said Monday that he has weighed the issues of executive privilege and after “careful consideration and study” decided that he would comply with any Senate subpoena. “If the Senate issues a subpoena for my testimony, I am prepared to testify,” he said. If Bolton were to appear, he could provide a first-hand account of events central to the impeachment case against the president. As a senior adviser, he was present for key moments that were investigated in the House’s impeachment inquiry, including meetings with Ukrainian officials. His willingness to comply with a subpoena could complicate the strategy of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has expressed resistance to calling new witnesses. Bolton left a message for McConnell before he issued his statement on Monday morning, a person familiar

with the matter confirmed to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because he or she wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. McConnell has called for a swift impeachment trial, with a possible final vote after opening arguments. He has repeatedly referred to President Bill Clinton’s impeachment, when leaders decided how to proceed after the trial had started. In that case, witnesses gave closed-door depositions and some excerpts of those interviews were played on the Senate floor. “The Senate has a unanimous bipartisan precedent for when to handle mid-trial questions such as witnesses — in the middle of the trial,” McConnell said as he opened the Senate on Monday. First, though, the Senate must receive the articles of impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has stalled the transmission of Housepassed articles against Trump in a bid for the witness testimony that
Clam digging on east side of Cook Inlet closed By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
In 2020, clam diggers will once again have to take their buckets and shovels to beaches on the west side of Cook Inlet. All east side Cook Inlet beaches, from the mouth of the Kenai River to the southernmost tip of the Homer Spit, are closed to harvesting clams
of all species, an emergency order issued Jan. 2 by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game said. The emergency order is valid for the rest of 2020. This is the eighth consecutive year that Cook Inlet beach razor clam sport fishery has been restricted or closed by emergency order because any clam harvest would likely delay recovery of the population.
In 2019, razor clam studies conducted on sections of beach near Ninilchik and Clam Gulch showed that adult abundance of razor clams did not improve and remained below average at all beaches. Causes of the decline in razor clam abundance remains unknown, but may include a combination of heavy surf, habitat changes, environmental stressors
and predation, the emergency order said. East side Cook Inlet razor clam populations are rebuilding, but it is uncertain if the trend will continue into 2020. More studies on razor clams will take place in the spring. This closure does not affect sport razor clam regulations on west side Cook Inlet beaches.

The state of Alaska will also track how much alcohol Bethel residents order per month in a database that will not be accessible to the general public. Bootlegging and providing alcohol to a person under 21 will both become felonies. They were previously misdemeanor offenses.
Purchases of wine and beer at Bethel restaurants will be allowed to continue under the law. Caribou Traders Liquor Store, which was expected to close Saturday, was the only alcohol retailer in Bethel after the state Alcohol Beverage Control Board refused to renew AC Liquor Store’s license in May.

State Supreme Court Justice Stowers plans to retire JUNEAU — One of the longest-serving members on the Alaska Supreme Court plans to retire later this year. The Alaska Judicial Council is accepting applications for the seat held by Justice Craig Stowers. Stowers plans to retire effective June 1, according to Mara Rabinowitz with the Alaska court
system. Stowers, a former Superior Court judge, was appointed to the Alaska Supreme Court in 2009 and later served as a chief justice. Of the current justices, only Daniel Winfree has served on the Supreme Court longer. Winfree was appointed in 2007. The judicial council plans to meet in May to interview applicants. The names of finalists advanced by the council will be sent to Gov. Mike Dunleavy, who will make the appointment.

Dunleavy agrees to continue accepting refugees By Becky Bohrer Associated Press
Gov. Mike Dunleavy has agreed to continue allowing the resettlement of refugees in the state under a presidential executive order that gave states an option to refuse them. He called the decision a simple one. An executive order by President Donald Trump in September said the federal government should resettle refugees only where states and local governments provide written consent to receive them. Dunleavy, a Republican, sent a brief letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo last month saying he agrees to refugee resettlement in the state per the terms of the executive order. The letter was released by Dunleavy’s office Monday following a request by The Associated Press. Dunleavy has cited concerns with illegal immigration and last year pledged support for efforts to address security at the U.S.-Mexico border. In an interview Monday, he said the resettlement program has a longstanding history and is in line with U.S. and Alaska values. The program, he said, is one “I think America and Alaska get
behind because, once again, it’s folks that are in situations where there’s war or some type of persecution and of course, when they apply to come
here, the hope is that that’s put behind them and they can get on with their lives and be part of the state, if they choose to stay, and part of the country.”

THOMAS R. MAUGHAN
Cedar
Margaret Bowers
1936-2019
August 25, 1924 - December 22, 2019
Thomas R. Maughan, age 83, passed away a few days before Christmas, 2019. He was born in 1936 in Missoula, Montana. He had a happy childhood with a loving family and was raised on a Montana ranch with cattle and horses. His loving parents were Alton and Ruth Maughan, and he had 5 siblings. He married Marky Savage when he was 23 years old, and their marriage was one of 59 years at the time of his death. Tom was raised in Drummond Montana and graduated high school from Drummond H.S. At age 21-23 he served a mission in Eastern Canada for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He graduated with his bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University and went on to earn his master’s degree in administration from California State University at Fullerton. His career as a teacher, principal, and administrator spanned 45 years in the states of California, Alaska, and Nevada. For 24 years, he was a commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska during the summer months. He would also sports fish whenever he could. He had several other major interests. He loved playing basketball and coaching both boys’ and girls’ teams in basketball throughout the years. He was very interested in American Indian culture and artifacts. He was also an artist of watercolor paintings, favoring flowers, landscapes, and wild life as his subjects. An important thing to know about Tom is that he was very non-judgmental of people. He so much enjoyed having many friends to associate with, but he always wanted to make more friends out of strangers he would happen to meet. If you were a stranger in his vicinity, you were sure to experience his charm as he was likely to strike up a conversation with you. He was a happy optimist all of his life. He woke every morning with a smile on his face. These qualities made him very lovable to his family: Marky, his wife; Thomas, Round Rock, Texas, his oldest son; Douglas, Pahrump, Nevada, his second son; Kristi, Las Vegas, Nevada, his only daughter; and John, Seattle, Washington, his youngest son. His death was very unexpected as he enjoyed such good health, and he will be sorely missed by his family, relatives, and friends.
Soldotna resident Margaret Bowers, 95, passed away Dec. 22, 2019 at Charis Place in Kenai. Memorial services will be 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10, at the Soldotna United Methodist Church. Pastor Karen Tichenor will officiate. Her cremated remains will be interred in Ft. Logan National Cemetery in Denver at a later date. Margaret was born Aug. 25, 1924 in Riverdale, Neb. She worked as a secretary at both Moore Realty in Denver, Colo. and Poole & Co. Real Estate in Lakewood, Colo. She was a member of Lakewood Presbyterian Church until moving to Soldotna in 2006. She then joined Soldotna United Methodist Church. Margaret enjoyed sewing, music, and Denver Broncos Football. Her family wrote, “Margaret was loved not only by her family, but by many friends in Denver and Soldotna. She also participated in several charitable endeavors.” “but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”-Isaiah 40:31 Margaret was preceded in death by her husband James Bowers, parents, Nell and William Moore, brother and sister-in-law, Don and Lois Moore, sisters and brothersin-law, Lavonne and Edward Delahunty, Lorraine and Milton Tappan and Helen and Ormand Heacock. She is survived by her daughter, Ellen West of Soldotna; son and daughter-in-law, James and Sheri Bowers of Everett, Wash.; grandchildren and their spouses, Derek and Cory Bowers of Denver, Colo., Brandon and Julie West and Holly West all of Soldotna, and Devon and Jackie Bowers of Denver, Colo.; great-grandchildren, Mindi West of Soldotna, Cade Bowers of Denver, Colo., and Madison and Payton West, both of Soldotna; great-great-grandson, Kamden West of Soldotna. Rather than flowers, the family prefers donations be sent to the Soldotna United Methodist Church, 158 S. Binkley St., Soldotna or V.F.W. Post 10046, 134 N. Birch St., Soldotna. Arrangements were by Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai.

increase in jobs between November 2018 and November 2019. The Kenai Peninsula could benefit from a rise in tourism. According to the Trends report, 2020 is expected to break another record with an anticipated 6% jump in
cruise ship passengers. Nearly half of Alaska’s visitors arrive on cruise ships, 47% fly, and 4% come by land or ferry, according to McDowell Group, a research consulting firm in Anchorage. The number of foreign tourists in the winter — many of whom travel to the Interior to view the northern lights — has also grown in recent years, according to the Trends report.
The oil industry is expected to continue growing, with the addition of about 400 jobs in 2020 despite the dip in the price of oil. About 300 jobs were added to the industry last year. The biggest variable, the report said, is Hilcorp’s assumption of BP’s North Slope assets, which will likely cause some job loss, mainly in Anchorage. The health care industry is also expecting modest growth, with about 400 jobs added in 2020. Hospitals and ambulance health care continue to expand at a slow rate, however, nursing homes and group homes have been losing jobs for several years and the losses are accelerating. The reported noted that Alaska’s population is aging faster than the nation’s, and with age comes additional health care needs spurring some growth in the industry, but recent and proposed cuts to Medicaid will mute health care growth. Ongoing population loss will cause Alaska’s economic recovery to be sluggish. “Alaska has the largest

migration rates of any state — every year, between 35,000 and 50,000 people both to and from Alaska — but for the last six years, the state has lost more movers than it’s gained,” the report said. “Fewer Alaskans means less demand for schools, stores, homes, and services.” While the state’s population has been dropping slightly, the borough’s population has seen small gains over the last couple of years. Next year’s budget is still in its early stages, but Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed budget would transfer more than $1 billion from savings, and further drain the states savings account. Such budget uncertainties will “hamper” the economy, the report said. “State government’s financial situation remains the primary drag on Alaska’s economy,” the report said. “Even after several years of deep budget cuts, Alaska still spends more than it brings in. Savings have bought the state time and mitigated cuts, but drawing from savings remains controversial and a shortterm solution.” Government employment will considerably decline in 2020, and state government will take the biggest hit. The report forecast the loss of 700 jobs this year, “but it could be more.” State government employment has fallen every year since 2015. From its high in 2014 through 2019, state government lost 3,100 jobs. The federal government will add about 200, mostly temporary, jobs to conduct this year’s census.
Hoonah. “It’s attractive to people in general because it’s so resistant to rot. You can use it for outdoor structures, picnic tables, posts,” Tyler said. Tyler said he has harvested dead cedar in the past, and it is potentially viable for market, but echoed the study’s conclusion that reaching the wood was the most difficult part. “It can be viable if you can get to it,” Tyler said. The problem, according to Tyler was finding the nearest access point, whether it’s by road or by water. “All that stuff (the trees) is very heavy, and requires expensive equipment,” Tyler said. The easiest way to make the trees more accessible, Tyler said, was to build roads. Tyler supports fully exempting the Tongass National Forest from the Roadless Rule. Owen Graham with the Alaska Foresters Association said he too had harvested dead cedars but it didn’t end up being profitable. “I wouldn’t be interested,” Graham said about future dead cedar harvest. “We were clear cut logging, and there was dead yellow cedar in there and the Forest Service asked us to remove it.” Graham said he was able to sell the wood locally but international customers, his typical cedar customers,
Bolton From Page A1
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement after Bolton’s announcement that “momentum for uncovering the truth in a Senate trial continues.” Schumer said that it is “now up to four Senate Republicans to support bringing in Mr. Bolton” and the other witnesses he has proposed, including Mulvaney. Republicans hold the Senate with a 53-seat majority, and Democrats would have to find four Republicans to vote with them to issue a subpoena. If Republicans oppose the subpoenas Democrats have proposed, Schumer said, “they would make absolutely clear they are participating in a cover up.” At least one Senate Republican was ready to hear from Bolton. “He has first-hand information,” Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told reporters. “Assuming that the articles of impeachment reach the Senate, I’d like to hear what he has to say.” Other Republicans downplayed the possibility of calling Bolton at the trial. “Call me a skeptic that there’s anything he would add,” said Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, a member of Republican leadership, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted that the Senate should not move beyond the evidence collected in the House inquiry — a process that McConnell has called the “least thorough” in history. “Our job is to vote on what the House passed, not to conduct an open ended inquiry,” Rubio tweeted.

weren’t interested. Graham did say he didn’t know how long the trees had been dead, which affects wood quality. There are also a number of bureaucratic hurdles, such as land sales conducted by the Forest Service, which add costs to harvesting dead yellow cedar. The study looked at six mills, listed as mills A-E. Determining the profitability for each mill is difficult because each employs different methods for harvest and processing. “Cost factors among mills that lead to differences in revenue included logging, milling, and transportation,” the study says. “Logging costs were highest for Mill C since these trees were obtained using selective helicopter logging, transportation costs were highest for Mill D, as these logs were shipped to Ketchikan via barge.” Researchers were surprised by differences in revenues among the mills, but feel that with some changes, and possibly training, mill owners could use dead cedar for extra revenue. As climate change kills more trees, harvesting presents an opportunity for forest management as well, the study says. “Our new climate reality driving yellow-cedar mortality across much of the Tongass,” the study concludes, “presents an opportunity for a new approach to forest management and a forest products industry in Southeast Alaska.”
And another Republican, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, introduced legislation Monday to change Senate rules to allow the dismissal of articles of impeachment if they aren’t transmitted to the Senate. “I don’t know why we would” hear from Bolton, Hawley said, “but let’s start the trial.” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., signaled in a tweet that he will not call Bolton again in the House, writing that “the Senate must allow testimony from him, Mulvaney and others.” Schiff had invited Bolton to testify in the inquiry but did not subpoena him, saying he didn’t want the impeachment case to languish in the courts. Instead, the House voted to impeach Trump for obstruction of Congress. Bolton late last year teased that he would have more to say about Ukraine, tweeting that people should “stay tuned.” The Associated Press reported in November that Bolton is writing a book and has a deal with the publisher Simon & Schuster, according to three publishing officials with knowledge of the situation. Two said the deal was worth $2 million. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. Trump tweeted Monday morning that the impeachment “hoax” must “end quickly.” “It is a con game by the Dems to help with the Election!,” Trump tweeted. Two-thirds of the Senate — or 67 votes — would be needed to convict Trump of an impeachment charge and remove him from office.

What others say
Despite volatility, stock market promises benefits over time
R
egarding the movement of equity prices, we associate with the words of Alan “Ace” Greenberg, the head of Bear Stearns during the 1987 market crash: “Stocks fluctuate, next question.” The good news in 2019 is that mostly they fluctuated up, which offers a lesson or two. Stock prices fell Monday (Dec. 30), no doubt in part as investors took profits before the end of the year. But what profits they probably are. With one day of trading left in 2019, the S&P 500 was up 29% for the year, the Nasdaq Composite had risen 35%, and even the dowdy Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 22%. Apple and Microsoft, which drove much of the increase in the Nasdaq, each now have market capitalizations of more than $1.2 trillion. Anyone who sold a year ago missed a major boost in net worth, yet at the time the investor mood was negative. Markets had declined in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the Federal Reserve tightened money and Donald Trump’s trade war accelerated. Fears of recession were widespread, and even Mr. Trump had stopped touting stock prices on Twitter. One lesson is that no one knows how stocks will perform in any given year because so much can change. In 2019 the Fed quickly corrected its December 2018 mistake of raising interest rates. Inflation stayed under control. Mr. Trump decided that he wanted a trade truce with China, notwithstanding some harrowing fits and starts along the way. The momentum built by tax reform and deregulation helped the economy, and especially the job market, stay remarkably buoyant despite a trade-induced recession in manufacturing. (See the editorial nearby.) If you predicted all this, raise your hand. We didn’t think so. The same uncertainty applies to stocks in 2020, an election year that adds political volatility to the usual economic and policy variables. Will Mr. Trump revert to trade populism if his re-election looks to be in jeopardy? Will markets fall, at least for a while, if Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren appear likely to win the Democratic presidential nod? The truth is no one knows, though the fact that some people think they do is what helps make a market. You know, for every buyer there’s a seller. Some poor folks probably even heeded the infamous Oct. 21, 2016 article in Politico that began: “Wall Street is set up for a major crash if Donald Trump shocks the world on Election Day and wins the White House.” The S&P 500 was then trading at about 2200. It closed Monday at 3221. The lesson here is that, as Warren Buffett likes to say, don’t bet against the United States to succeed. America makes mistakes, voters sometimes hand power to misguided politicians, and the public sometimes succumbs to financial manias that turn into panics and crashes. But left to work, trade and invest without too much political interference, Americans unleash their energies in productive fashion. Stocks fluctuate, but over time they go up — often in years you least expect it. — The Wall Street Journal, Dec. 30

Politicians must keep their promises and protect our salmon
I
t seems that at election time our candidates will do everything they can to show themselves as big proponents of our fisheries, posing as lovers of salmon, with pictures of themselves splashed across the media holding a king or coho, while touting our commercial and sport fishing industries. Yet once election season is over our amazing natural resources, our salmon especially, seem to be all but forgotten, slipping back into the far reaches of memory, taking a second seat to all other issues, a neglected priority. This is too bad, because as anyone who is aware of the history of once great fisheries around the world knows, ours are but a few of the last great remaining intact salmon runs. Cook Inlet-sized populations were once the norm throughout Europe, as were runs far into the 1800s along the Northeastern seaboard of the United States. Much more recently, over the last 50 years, 300 documented runs of wild salmon in the Pacific Northwest have met their demise, many of these during our lifetime. With current changes, such as the very real prospect of Pebble Mine, and with the lifting of restrictions on the discharge of pollutants on both a state and federal level, there is no reason to believe this will not eventually be the case here in Alaska as well — that our salmon will not face the same fate as those around the world. We need to hold
Many of us who voted for our current governor believed what he said on the campaign trail, that he would champion our natural resources and our fisheries. This, however, has not come to pass. our politicians’ feet to the fire and demand that they adhere to what they say when running for office. Finally, stop just paying lip service to our salmon and adopt a “fish-first” policy. Many of us who voted for our current governor believed what he said on the campaign trail, that he would champion our natural resources and our fisheries. This, however, has not come to pass, as we’ve seen with governor’s cuts to Fish and Game, as well as the open courting of Pebble Mine and the placing of Jason Brune, a former Pebble executive, as the head of DEC. The very department that oversees and will issue permits to Pebble. Thankfully our Department of Fish and Game is funded in part
through federal grants as well as proceeds from hunting and fishing license fees. Yet they still set their priorities based upon the man in the governor’s mansion. With the future of habitat permitting and the question of mixing zones, which might modify Alaska’s water quality standards in salmon streams, currently up in the air — as well as the imminent permitting of the Pebble Mine — there is reason for all who value our fish and wildlife resources, and the future of this amazing legacy, to be concerned. Here’s hoping the sportsmen and women who helped get him elected will pressure the governor to alter the path it appears we are currently on. Being open for business is one thing, courting industry is all well and good, but if it is at the expense of our last great remaining wild fishery — a sustainable, economic engine that will fuel our economy for untold generations — it is a shortsighted path to say the least. It is an immense disservice to the future of our great state, and to our children and grandchildren who we hope will inherit this land, a land of plenty — but only if we take care of it and don’t follow the same sorry path that so many around the world have taken. Roger Sensabaugh, Kenai, and Bob Mires, Soldotna, are sport fisherman who want to see the fish, wildlife and Alaska environment preserved for future generations.
But left to work, trade and invest without too much political interference, Americans unleash their energies in productive fashion. Stocks fluctuate, but over time they go up — often in years you least expect it.

The 2010s were a decade of perseverance for small businesses
2
019 is an exuberant end to the decade. There has never been a better time to start or grow a small business in the current booming economy. The unemployment rate is at a 50-year low with 110 months of consecutive positive job growth. Wages have increased 3.1% during the past 12 months. And 30.7 million small businesses are creating two out of every three net new jobs. However, the 2010s had a humble beginning. Still reeling from the Great Recession, many small businesses were still struggling and in survival mode. Job growth was flat, the unemployment rate was a staggering 9.6%, and there were only 26.8 million small businesses in the U.S. Not only was hiring stagnant, but lending and spending were tight too. Survival was the goal as small business owners felt the weight of keeping their doors open, keeping their staff employed, and finding their way in post-recession economy. It was a difficult and stressful time to be a small business owner. However, true to the entrepreneurial spirit and American dream, small businesses persevered. During the past couple years in
my role as regional administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration, I’ve traveled around Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington to meet small businesses and listen to their journeys. I’ve met businesses that reshaped what they do in order to move forward. I’ve met businesses who innovated with new cost-saving strategies for their customers. I’ve even met entrepreneurs who started their business during a time most would say they were crazy. The common thread is they all adapted, they all took risks, and they all had a vision they focused on seeing through. One local story that comes to mind when I think of the perseverance of small businesses during the 2010s is The Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska. This secondgeneration family-owned business has been providing holidays gifts and treats since 1952, so they are experts in perseverance. The business endured historical flooding in 1967 and used a low-interest SBA disaster loan to help recover from the damages. And when Richardson Highway was rerouted in 1972, they used an SBA loan to build a new storefront on the new highway. Since then, the Miller Family
has twice doubled the store size, currently employs nearly 50 people, and continues their Letters from Santa program which has been going for 60 years strong. I’m proud that SBA programs were able to support businesses like The Santa Claus House through tough times. But I’m even more impressed with the grit and innovation of entrepreneurs like the Miller Family. When small businesses share their journeys with me, I am inspired and I am grateful. Our economy and our communities wouldn’t be what they are today without the perseverance of entrepreneurs. As we close the decade, let’s take a moment to pause and celebrate the rise from recession to historic economic growth. And let’s take a moment to thank the small business owners who brought our country to this high point through their innovation, determination and perseverance. Jeremy Field is the regional administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Pacific Northwest Region which serves Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. The SBA empowers entrepreneurs and small businesses with resources to start, grow, expand or recover.

Revenge? U.S. braces for what’s next from Iran By Lolita Baldor, Robert Burns and Zeke Miller Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.S. officials on Monday braced for Iran to respond to the killing of its most powerful general, noting heightened military readiness in the country and preparing for a possible “tit-for-tat” attempt on the life of an American military commander. President Donald Trump ordered the Jan. 2 strike against Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, after the death of an American contractor in Iraq. Now, as the massive demonstrations of Iran’s public mourning period for Soleimani come to a close, officials believe the next steps by America’ longtime foe will determine the ultimate course of
the latest crisis. While officials say American intelligence isn’t clear on whether Iran’s latest military moves are designed to bolster Tehran’s defenses or prepare for an offensive strike, the U.S. is continuing to reinforce its own positions in the region, including repositioning some forces. One official said the U.S. anticipated a “major” attack of some type within the next day or two. On Monday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said no decision had been made about withdrawing troops from Iraq. Pro-Iranian factions in the Iraqi Parliament have pushed to oust American troops following Soleimani’s killing on Iraqi soil. Esper spoke to reporters after a letter from a U.S. Marine general circulated that seemed to suggest a withdrawal had been ordered in response to a vote by the
Iraqi Parliament over the weekend. “There’s been no decision whatsoever to leave Iraq,” Esper said. Soleimani’s death, which has sparked major protests, further nuclear development and new threats of violence, has raised the prospect of a wide and unpredictable conflict in the Middle East and escalated tensions between Iran and the U.S. The two nations have careened from one flare-up to another since Trump began his “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran shortly after taking office. He abrogated the 2015 nuclear deal and reimposed crushing economic sanctions, both steps aimed at preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and deterring the sort of regional aggression spearheaded by Soleimani. Two U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss
internal discussions, said targeting Soleimani was not representative of a wholesale shift in American policy toward Iran, despite Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s comments on Sunday that the U.S. was targeting Iran’s “actual decision-makers” rather than its network of proxy allies. Trump has repeatedly contended that he is not seeking “regime change” in Iran, as has been pushed by some of his more hawkish advisers. Still, Trump’s strike against Soleimani, a revered figure in Iran whose death sparked large displays of anger and grief, was a risky decision his Republican and Democratic predecessors opted not to take out of concern it would draw the U.S. and Iran closer to conflict. U.S. officials are also aware that Iran could try to strike a high-level American leader in a “tit-for-tat”
move, potentially a military commander. One official said some Iranian ships have spread out, and while the intent isn’t immediately clear, they could move rapidly to attack. The U.S. military has increased protection of its forces, particularly in Iraq. Officials said a number of the recently deployed soldiers from the 1st Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division had moved into Iraq from Kuwait in order to increase security for Americans there. The U.S. military has stopped all training of Iraqi forces to focus on force protection, officials said. As of Monday, officials said, there had not been a broadly distributed order or recommendation to increase security at military installations worldwide. Instead, decisions were being left up to the commanders.
Unique sex-abuse lawsuit filed against the Boy Scouts By David Crary Associated Press
A team of lawyers filed a lawsuit Monday in federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking to establish the nation’s capital as a venue for men across the U.S. to sue the Boy Scouts of America for allegedly failing to protect them from long-ago sexual abuse at the hands of scoutmasters and other leaders. The eight plaintiffs in the potentially ground-breaking lawsuit, identified as John Does 1 through 8, live in states where statute of limitations laws would prevent them from suing the BSA based on claims of sex abuse that occurred decades ago. The plaintiffs’ lawyers contend that federal court in Washington is an appropriate venue for such a lawsuit
because the Boy Scouts were incorporated there in 1910 and obtained a congressional charter in 1916. Along with several states — including New York, New Jersey and California — the District of Columbia eased its statute of limitations in 2019 to accommodate claims like those in the new lawsuit. The Boy Scouts, in an email to The Associated Press, said it cannot comment on pending litigation. It reiterated its previous apologies to “anyone who was harmed during their time in Scouting.” “We believe victims, we support them, we pay for counseling by a provider of their choice and we encourage them to come forward,” the BSA said. The lawyers handling the new lawsuit, from the Washington firm
of Zuckerman Spaeder, are affiliated with Abused in Scouting, a nationwide legal team that is signing up hundreds of clients across the U.S. who seek to file sex-abuse claims against the BSA. The lawsuit contends that the BSA has known since its early years that it attracted pedophiles into its ranks of adult leaders, yet avoided public acknowledgement of the dangers for decades even as it kept secret files of men known or suspected of committing sex abuse. The lawsuit notes that the BSA submits an annual report to Congress summarizing its recent activities. “However, never once in 103 years of reporting to Congress has BSA disclosed the fact that its programs were, and are, magnets to tens of
thousands of pedophiles,” the lawsuit says. “Instead, BSA’s Reports to the Nation have miscast the organization as a bastion of moral authority.” The lawsuit’s premise that the Washington, D.C. federal court has jurisdiction because of the BSA’s congressional charter has not been tested and will likely be challenged, but Aitan Goelman, one of the plaintiffs’ lawyers, says it’s worth a try. “We’re intentionally trying to make this a venue for a national case against the Boy Scouts,” he said. “We’re doing it conscious of the fact that it’s unusual and we explain why we believe it’s legally sound.” A key element, he said, is the inconsistency of statute of limitations laws in the states. “If you were raped in California, as opposed to Texas, you have a
potential avenue for some measure of justice — but it shouldn’t depend on the vagaries of geography,” Goelman said. “The Boy Scouts are a national organization. It cannot be, just based on luck of the draw, that some of these men are completely shut out of the courts and some are not.” The lawsuit’s plaintiffs live in eight different states — Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Kentucky, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia. The plaintiff from Hawaii, although identified in the lawsuit as a John Doe, chose to speak on the record with The Associated Press. He is Dave Henson, a 39-year-old Navy officer who says he was abused by an assistant scout leader in Lake Dallas, Texas, starting in 1991 when he was 11 and continuing for five years.
Boeing’s checklist of 737 Max fixes grows with wiring issue By David Koenig Associated Press
DALLAS — The list of items Boeing could be forced to fix before federal safety officials let the grounded 737 Max airliner fly again has grown to include a problem with electrical wiring used for the plane’s controls. Separately on Monday, the financial damage to Boeing from the airplane crisis came into sharper focus as American Airlines said it has reached agreement over
compensation from the plane maker for thousands of flights it canceled because its Max jets were grounded most of the year. American did not say how much it will receive but said it will give $30 million to employees as profit-sharing. American estimated in October that the Max grounding would cost it $540 million in pretax income for all of 2019. Aeromexico said it too settled with Boeing but declined to release details. The airline has six Max jets. The wiring issue came to light
after the Federal Aviation Administration asked Boeing to audit key systems on the Max after two crashes in which new software and faulty sensors were implicated. During that review of changes Boeing is making to the plane, Boeing discovered that bundles of electrical wiring were too close together and — at least in theory — raised the potential for a short circuit that could cause pilots to lose control of the plane. “We identified this wiring-bundle issue ... and we are working with the FAA to perform the appropriate
analysis,” said Boeing spokesman Gordon Johndroe. The company said, however, it is too soon to know whether it will need to make any design changes, such as moving the wiring bundles farther apart. Boeing says it believes that other safeguards, including circuit breakers and insulation around the wiring, could be sufficient to prevent a short-circuit from leading to another crash. The discovery of the wiring issue was first reported by The New York Times.
Boeing built and delivered nearly 400 Max jets to airlines before the plane was grounded in March after two crashes that killed 346 people. Since then, another 400 or so Max jets have rolled off the assembly line, although they can’t be sent to airlines. Boeing engineers have finished changes to a key software system called MCAS that was activated by faulty sensors in each crash, firmly pushing the noses of the planes down, a condition called runaway stabilizer.

Weinstein faces more sexual assault charges LOS ANGELES — Harvey Weinstein will be charged with four counts of sexual assault in Los Angeles County, deepening the legal peril faced by the fallen Hollywood mogul as his trial on similar charges in New York City is set to begin this month. The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office has filed charges of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by use of force and sexual battery by restraint, according to a news release issued Monday morning. “We believe the evidence will show that the defendant used his power and influence to gain access to his victims and then commit crimes against them,” District Attorney Jackie Lacey said in a statement. “I want to commend the victims who have come forward and bravely recounted what happened to them.”
State fines Hanford nuclear site $1M for restricting info RICHLAND, Wash. — The state of Washington has issued a $1 million fine to a federal nuclear weapons production site for restricting access to critical data. The Washington Department of Ecology issued the fine on Monday to the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, which is owned by the U.S. Department of Energy. Hanford for decades made plutonium for nuclear weapons, and the site is now engaged in cleaning up some of the most radioactive places in the world. Under a 1989 agreement that governs the cleanup, the federal government is required to provide the state with access to data it compiles. But the state says it is not getting the information it needs to make good regulatory decisions, and three years of negotiations have been fruitless. The Department of Energy is expected to appeal the fine. The federal government spends about

SpaceX launches 60 satellites, trying to tone them down CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX launched 60 more mini internet satellites late Monday, this time testing a dark coating to appease stargazers. It’s a “first step” compromise between SpaceX and astronomers fearful of having dark skies spoiled by hundreds and, eventually, thousands of bright satellites circling overhead. The Falcon 9 rocket blasted into a cold, clear night sky, recycled by SpaceX for its fourth flight. As the firststage booster flew to a vertical landing on an ocean platform, the Starlink satellites continued hurtling toward orbit to join 120 similar spacecraft launched last year. Flight controllers applauded, and the launch commentator described the booster’s fourth touchdown as “awesome.” His Starlink fleet now numbering 180, SpaceX founder and chief executive Elon Musk plans to ultimately launch thousands of these compact flat-panel satellites to provide global internet service. Each spacecraft is just 575 pounds.

Throngs mourn, leader weeps for slain general By Nasser Farimi and Jon Gambrell Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s supreme leader wept Monday over the casket of a top general killed in a U.S. airstrike, his prayers joining the wails of mourners who flooded the streets of Tehran demanding retaliation against America for a slaying that’s drastically raised tensions across the Middle East. The funeral for Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani drew a crowd said by police to be in the millions in the Iranian capital, filling thoroughfares and side streets as far as the eye could see. Although there was no independent estimate, aerial footage and Associated Press journalists suggested a turnout of at least 1 million, and the throngs were visible on satellite images of Tehran taken Monday. Authorities later brought his remains and those of the others to Iran’s holy city of Qom, turning out another massive crowd. The outpouring of grief was an unprecedented honor for a man
viewed by Iranians as a national hero for his work leading the Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force. The U.S. blames him for the killing of American troops in Iraq and accused him of plotting new attacks just before his death Friday in a drone strike at Baghdad’s airport. Soleimani also led forces in Syria backing President Bashar Assad in a long war. His slaying already has pushed Tehran to abandon the remaining limits of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers as his successor and others vow to take revenge. In Baghdad, the parliament has called for the expulsion of all American troops from Iraqi soil, something analysts fear could allow Islamic State militants to mount a comeback. Soleimani’s daughter, Zeinab, directly threatened the U.S. military in the Middle East while also warning President Donald Trump, whom she called “crazy.” “The families of the American soldiers ... will spend their days waiting for the death of their children,” she said to cheers. Her language mirrored warnings
by other Iranian officials who say an attack on U.S. military interests in the Middle East looms. Iranian state TV and others online shared a video that showed Trump’s American flag tweet following Soleimani’s killing turn into a coffin, the “likes” of the tweet replaced by over 143,000 “killed.” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei prayed over the caskets of Soleimani and others at Tehran University after a brief mourning period at the capital’s famed Musalla mosque, The mosque was where prayers were said over the body of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic, after his death in 1989. Khamenei, who had a close relationship with Soleimani and referred to him as a “living martyr,” broke down in tears four times while offering Muslim prayers for the dead. “Oh God, you took their spirits out of their bodies as they were rolling in their blood for you and were martyred in your way,” Khamenei said as the crowd wailed. Soleimani
international deal preventing the Islamic Republic from developing atomic weapons. The 2015 nuclear agreement has been on life support since President Donald Trump unilaterally abandoned it in 2018, triggering sanctions that have hurt Iran’s moribund economy. Since then, Tehran has
gradually rolled back its commitment to the deal. After its top general was assassinated in a U.S. drone attack, Iran announced over the weekend that it would no longer respect limits set on how many centrifuges it can use to enrich uranium. Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said the move was

will be buried Tuesday in his hometown of Kerman. Soleimani’s successor, Esmail Ghaani, stood near Khamenei’s side as did President Hassan Rouhani and other leaders of the Islamic Republic. While Iran recently faced

a “remedial step” taken within the framework of the nuclear deal and he said it could be reversed. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell expressed “deep regret” at the news. He tweeted that full implementation of the nuclear deal by all parties “is now more important than ever, for regional stability
and global security.” The EU supervises the deal under which Tehran limits its nuclear ambitions in exchange for economic incentives, but it relies on the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog to monitor whether Iran is complying, as it has continued to do so far despite its belligerent rhetoric.

Push to oust U.S. troops from Iraq a risky undertaking By Qassim Abdul-Zahra and Zeina Karam Associated Press
BAGHDAD — A push led by proIran factions to oust U.S. troops from Iraq following the U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian general is gaining momentum, bolstered by a Parliament vote calling on the government to remove them. But the path forward is unclear, and in Iraq’s deeply divided terrain, with a resigned prime minister and raging proxy war between Iran and the U.S., ending America’s 17-year military presence in Iraq is a risky undertaking. Iraq was barely starting to recover
from a devastating four-year war against the Islamic State group when a mass uprising against the country’s ruling elite erupted on Oct. 1, forcing the resignation of Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi two months later. He hasn’t been replaced. A pullout of U.S. troops could cripple the fight against Islamic State militants and allow the extremists to make a comeback. Militants affiliated with IS routinely carry out attacks in northern and western Iraq, hiding out in rugged desert and mountainous areas. Iraqi forces rely on the U.S. for logistics and weapons in pursuing them. An American withdrawal could also enable Iran to deepen its
influence in Iraq, which like Iran is a majority Shiite country. “It is not that simple,” Lebanese political analyst Ibrahim Bayram said of any withdrawal. “This will increase the complications inside Iraq, the conflicts and contradictions ... and the clash, both political and non-political, between the Iranians and Americans.” U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper, meanwhile, said Monday the United States “has made no decision whatsoever to leave Iraq,” adding that the U.S. remains committed to the campaign to defeat the Islamic State group in Iraq and the region. The Iraqi parliamentary vote Sunday calling for the ouster of
the 5,200 American troops in Iraq requires Iraqi government approval. But it highlights the sharp deterioration in relations between Washington and Baghdad amid soaring tensions between the U.S. and Iran following the U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani at Baghdad airport . American forces withdrew from Iraq in 2011 but returned in 2014 at the invitation of the government to help battle the Islamic State group. The extremists had seized vast areas in the north and west of the country after Iraq’s armed forces collapsed, including the secondlargest city, Mosul. A U.S.-led coalition provided crucial air support as
Iraqi forces, including Iran-backed militias, regrouped and drove IS out in a costly three-year campaign. Unlike the previous U.S. deployment, which was governed by the Status of Forces agreement that clearly spelled out the rules of termination, American troops in Iraq are now in the country based on a less formal request by the then prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki. Pressure has been escalating for a U.S. troop withdrawal since the defeat of IS in 2017, particularly among factions loyal to Iran. But calls for their removal grew louder amid outrage over the U.S. strike last week that killed Soleimani along with senior Iraqi militia leaders.
Highest global tensions this century troubles UN chief By Edith M. Lederer Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS —U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Monday that global political tensions “at their highest level this century” are escalating and “leading more and more countries to take unpredicted decisions with unpredictable consequences and a profound risk of miscalculation.” The U.N. chief, considered by many the world’s top diplomat, said his message is simple: “Stop escalation. Exercise maximum restraint. Restart dialogue. Renew international cooperation” and avoid a new war. Guterres did not name any countries — and refused to answer shouted questions — but his
comments followed rising U.S. tensions with Iran and last Friday’s U.S killing of top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad. His death has led Iran to announce it is abandoning all limits in the 2015 nuclear deal with key world powers, and Iraq’s parliament to call for the expulsion of all American troops from Iraqi soil. The United States said Soleimani was plotting a series of attacks that endangered many American troops and officials across the Middle East. President Donald Trump said his aim was to prevent war — not start one — but he has promised reprisals against any Iranian retaliation. In his “state of the world” address to global leaders at their annual U.N. General Assembly meeting
in September, Guterres painted a grim picture of a deeply divided and anxious planet. His statement Monday was even more dire. He told presidents, prime ministers, monarchs and ministers from the U.N.’s 193 member states just over three months ago that the world is facing a climate crisis, “the alarming possibility of armed conflict in the Gulf,” spreading terrorism, rising populism and “exploding” inequality. The secretary-general also warned of the looming risk of the world splitting in two, with the United States and China creating rival internets, currency, trade, financial rules “and their own zero sum geopolitical and military strategies.” He said the risk “may not yet be large, but it is real.”
Speaking to reporters Monday, he appeared more worried, saying “the New Year has begun with our world in turmoil.” Guterres expressed great concern at the recent rise in global tensions, stressing: “We are living in dangerous times.” In addition to the risk of miscalculation by countries taking “unpredicted decisions,” Guterres said, “We see trade and technological conflicts that fracture world markets, undermine growth and widen inequalities.” “Even nuclear nonproliferation can no longer be taken for granted,” he said, apparently responding to Iran’s announcement of its plans to renew nuclear activities and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un saying he’s bolstering the country’s
nuclear deterrent in the face of “gangster-like” U.S. pressure. In many parts of the world, Guterres said, people are frustrated and angry. “We see increased social unrest and growing extremism, nationalism and radicalization, with a dangerous advance of terrorism in several areas of the world, notably in Africa,” he said. The secretary-general warned in November that terrorist groups have strengthened their foothold across Africa’s Sahel region, which is experiencing escalating violence. He said the expanding foothold “is making large swaths of territory unstable and stoking ethnic violence, especially in Burkina Faso and Mali.”

UANICA, Puerto Rico — A 5.8 magnitude quake hit Puerto Rico before dawn Monday, unleashing small landslides, causing power outages and collapsing some homes, as well as a famed tourist attraction. It was one of the strongest quakes yet in a series that have hit the U.S. territory over the past week. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The quake was followed by a string of smaller temblors, including one measured at magnitude 5 that struck at 10:51 a.m., shaking power lines and frightening residents of southern Puerto Rico who had been waiting outside their homes due to fears the buildings were damaged and unstable. The first quake struck at 6:32 a.m. just south of the island at a relatively shallow
depth of 6 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Maduro to release 14 prisoners following clash CARACAS, Venezuela -- The government will release 14 political prisoners following negotiations with minority political parties one day after President Nicolas Maduro ousted opposition leader Juan Guaido and his backers from the National Assembly. The announcement is Maduro’s latest effort to sideline Guaido, who’s made the release of political prisoners a central part of his platform to oust Venezuela’s ruling regime. Guaido, recognized by the U.S. and dozens of its allies as the country’s legitimate president, was barred from entering the assembly he leads Sunday amid violent clashes. “They will be
released today, and in the next couple of hours we will announce new releases as direct consequence of these negotiations,” televangelist and former presidential candidate Javier Bertucci said in a Caracas news conference.

Cowboys tap McCarthy to replace Garrett By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Pro Football Writer
FRISCO, Texas — Mike McCarthy won a Super Bowl and went to the playoffs eight straight years while coaching two-time MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Dallas Cowboys are hoping for similar results from McCarthy with Dak Prescott. McCarthy, who won the title as Green Bay’s coach at the home of the Cowboys nine years ago, has agreed to become the ninth coach in Dallas team history, a person with direct knowledge of the deal said Monday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t announced the decision. McCarthy interviewed over the weekend, before the Cowboys made the announcement Sunday that Jason Garrett wouldn’t return after 9½ seasons. Dallas missed the playoffs at 8-8 with high expectations in a makeor-break season for Garrett, whose contract expires next week. Green Bay made nine trips to the postseason in 13 years under McCarthy. That’s the only other head coaching job the 56-year-old has held. He was fired during what
ended up being a second straight losing season for the Packers in 2018. McCarthy led the Packers to at least 10 wins in eight of his first 11 seasons, including four trips to the NFC championship game. Dallas hasn’t been that far in the playoffs since the last of the franchise’s five Super Bowl titles to finish the 1995 season. The Cowboys missed the playoffs six times in Garrett’s nine full seasons. McCarthy also interviewed with Cleveland, Carolina and the New York Giants. He went 125-77-2 in the regular season with the Packers and
10-8 in the playoffs. The Cowboys have just three playoff wins since their last championship. The eight-year playoff run for McCarthy and Rodgers was from 2009-16, a stretch that included two divisional-round victories over the Garrett-led Cowboys. The Cowboys believe they have their next franchise QB in Prescott, who was the 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after replacing the injured Tony Romo and never relinquishing the starting job. Prescott, whose rookie contract is expiring, and two-time rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott have made the playoffs twice in four seasons
and got their first playoff victory in 2018 after losing their postseason debut to Rodgers and McCarthy with Dallas as the NFC’s top seed in 2016. McCarthy was fired after an embarrassing loss at Lambeau Field to Arizona, a defeat that all but sealed a second straight year without a postseason trip for the Packers. With a mandate to get the Cowboys past the divisional round for the first time in nearly 25 years, Garrett couldn’t build on a 3-0 start. Dallas went 4-8 in the next 12 games with a pair of three-game losing streaks.
Seahawks, Vikings advance with road victories By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer
Working overtime paid off for Minnesota and Houston this weekend. Seattle avoided the extra session and made it a wildcard bonanza, with three of the four road teams winning. One day after the Texans rallied from a 16-0 deficit to beat Buffalo 22-19 in an AFC wild-card game, the Vikings stunned New Orleans 26-20 on Sunday. Then fifth-seeded Seattle edged undermanned Philadelphia 17-9. The Texans (11-6) will travel to Kansas City (12-4) next Sunday in the divisional round. Tennessee (10-7), which ended New England’s run of three straight Super Bowl appearances with its victory Saturday at Foxboro, gets a trip to Baltimore (14-2) next Saturday night. Seattle (12-5) goes to Green Bay (13-3) next Sunday because Minnesota’s victory meant it would head to top-seeded San Francisco next Saturday. Kirk Cousins hit tight end Kyle Rudolph with a 4-yard fade on third-and-goal on the only drive of overtime. Minnesota (11-6) had blown a 20-10 lead before marching 75 yards in nine plays to win. Cousins’ 43-yard completion to Adam Thielen got the ball to the Saints 2-yard line to set up the winning score. “I’m so proud of our team, the way we fought,’’ Rudolph said. ``We knew it wasn’t going to be easy coming here. We expected 60 minutes and we got a little bit more. I’m so proud of our guys. Nobody gave us a chance to win here today — except everybody in
our organization. We believed.” Both No. 6 seeds went on the road and won for the second straight year. Not only were both No. 3 seeds eliminated, but their fortysomething Hall of Fame caliber quarterbacks, the Saints’ Drew Brees and the Patriots Tom Brady, took quick exits. The Vikings faded in December, losing three of five outings to fall short in the NFC North behind Green Bay and wind up as the lowest NFC seed. But with a staunch defense and strong pass rush that had Brees and the Saints off-balance for much of the game, it appeared Minnesota would not need extra time. Then Brees found Taysom Hill for a 20-yard touchdown to cap an 85-yard drive, and Wil Lutz made a 49-yard field goal in the dying seconds to force overtime. It was the second straight time the Saints’ season had ended in OT in the Superdome. New Orleans (13-4) fell to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC championship game last January, damaged greatly by an egregious missed penalty call. At Philadelphia, Russell Wilson threw a 53-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf, Marshawn Lynch had a rushing score, and Seattle held the Eagles to three field goals. Wilson threw for 325 yards and led the team with 45 yards rushing. Metcalf had seven catches for 160 yards. “You’ve got to step it up in the playoffs,’’ Seahawks edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney said. ``We knew it was going to be an upfront game, the whole game. They’ve got a

great offensive line, great veteran players.” The Seahawks are 8-1 away from Seattle, so Lambeau Field won’t likely intimidate them. Seattle, which had lost three of its last four regularseason games, has played some classic games with Green Bay. Most notable was the 2014 NFC title game in which the Seahawks rallied from a 16-0 halftime hole to win in overtime. Another 40-year-old QB lost. Josh McCown was forced into action in the first half as yet another Eagles starter, this time quarterback
Carson Wentz (concussion) went down. McCown, who was retired when the season began, looked rusty and Philly flopped several times in the red zone.
AFC Houston at Kansas City The Texans already have won at Arrowhead Stadium this season, 31-24 in October. Deshaun Watson threw for 280 yards and a touchdown while running for two more in outdueling Patrick Mahomes. Carlos Hyde ran for 116 yards and a
touchdown against the team that traded him to Houston in the preseason. Back then, however, Kansas City’s defense hadn’t blossomed. Now, under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo — whose units traditionally take a while to coalesce — the Chiefs are formidable. They’ve allowed 69 points in the past six games, all wins. KC also has gotten healthier down the stretch. Tennessee at Baltimore The Ravens have won 12 straight for the best record in the league. All-Pro
quarterback Lamar Jackson will present a major problem with his arm and legs for the Titans, who managed virtually no pressure on the stationary Brady in their wildcard win. But Tennessee isn’t afraid of going anywhere, as it proved in foggy Foxborough by making the defending champions look ordinary. It already has a fierce rivalry with Baltimore. ``Just a huge challenge, with what they have been able to do in all three phases,’’ coach Mike Vrabel said. ``We’ll have to try to find a way to slow them down.‘’
Alabama quarterback Tagovailoa enters NFL draft TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa put an end to the initial question about his future, announcing Monday that he is entering the NFL draft and closing the book on a college career that began with a splash and ended with a devastating injury. Now the questions will be about where he’ll be drafted not if he would turn pro. Tagovailoa is recovering from right hip surgery in November following an injury on Nov. 16 against Mississippi State that ended projections of the start quarterback being the
potential No. 1 overall pick. The serious injury made has made his draft status less clear though Alabama team surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain has said Tagovailoa’s prognosis is “excellent” and predicts a full recovery. Tagovailoa said during a news conference that he’s optimistic he’ll be able to play next season, but said it’s hard to predict how high he’ll be drafted. “It’s a unique situation, for sure,” Tagovailoa said with his parents and little brother, Taulia, watching from the front row. “A lot of the guys,
the general managers, the owners, that I’ve talked to kind of said the same thing. They kind of look at this injury like a knee injury almost, although it’s not. In a way that, OK, are we going to take a chance on this guy or will he be able to possibly do a pro day before the draft and what-not? “Really, the biggest thing they want to do is just see that we can move and we can just be back to how we were playing prior to the injury.” This year’s draft class of quarterbacks includes LSU Heisman Trophy winner Joe
Burrow and Oregon’s Justin Herbert. If Tagovailoa had returned to Alabama and looked like his old self, there was still no guarantee he would be the top pick in a 2021 draft that will likely include Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence. Tagovailoa, the 2018 Heisman Trophy runner-up, helped Alabama navigate the transition into one of the nation’s top passing offenses. In less than two seasons as starter, he set an Alabama record with 87 career touchdown passes and ranks third with 7,442 passing yards.

Thomas wins at Kapalua KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Justin Thomas won the Sentry Tournament of Champions, and he still doesn’t know how. He lost a two-shot lead with three holes to play. He had to play the par-5 18th hole four times Sunday and always seemed to be scrambling just to stay in the game in a threeman playoff. There was more exhaustion than elation. “I really don’t know how I won today,” Thomas said. “I got very fortunate.” The thrill-a-minute start to the year on the PGA Tour ended with Thomas chopping his way to bogey on the 18th, getting another chance when Xander Schauffele three-putted for par on the final hole in regulation to force a playoff, and then twice having to watch Patrick Reed stand over a putt to win.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Jan. 8, the eighth day of 2020. There are 358 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 8, 1815, the last major engagement of the War of 1812 came to an end as U.S. forces defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans, not having gotten word of the signing of a peace treaty. On this date: In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson outlined his Fourteen Points for lasting peace after World War I. Mississippi became the first state to ratify the 18th Amendment to the Constitution, which established Prohibition. In 1935, rock-and-roll legend Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson, in his State of the Union address, declared an “unconditional war on poverty in America.” In 1968, the Otis Redding single “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” was released on the Volt label almost a month after the singer’s death in a plane crash. In 1973, the Paris peace talks between the United States and North Vietnam resumed. In 1982, American Telephone and Telegraph settled the Justice Department’s antitrust lawsuit against it by agreeing to divest itself of the 22 Bell System companies. In 1987, for the first time, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 2,000, ending the day at 2,002.25. In 1998, Ramzi Yousef (RAHM’-zee YOO’-sef), the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, was sentenced in New York to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In 2004, A U.S. Black Hawk medivac helicopter crashed near Fallujah, Iraq, killing all nine soldiers aboard. In 2006, the first funerals were held in West Virginia for the 12 miners who’d died in the Sago (SAY’-goh) Mine disaster six days earlier. In 2008, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton powered to victory in New Hampshire’s 2008 Democratic primary in a startling upset, defeating Sen. Barack Obama and resurrecting her bid for the White House; Sen. John McCain defeated his Republican rivals to move back into contention for the GOP nomination. In 2011, U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was shot and critically wounded when a gunman opened fire as the congresswoman met with constituents in Tucson; six people were killed, 12 others also injured. (Gunman Jared Lee Loughner (LAWF’-nur) was sentenced in November 2012 to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years.) Ten years ago: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (OO’-mahr fah-ROOK’ ahb-DOOL’-moo-TAH’-lahb), accused of trying to blow up a U.S. airliner on Christmas, appeared in federal court in Detroit; the judge entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf. (Abdulmutallab eventually pleaded guilty and is serving a life prison term.) Vice President Joe Biden’s mother, Jean Biden, died in Wilmington, Delaware, at age 92. Five years ago: Three dissidents were abruptly released in what a leading human rights advocate said was part of Cuba’s deal with Washington to release 53 members of the island’s political opposition. Sen. Barbara Boxer, DCalif., a tenacious liberal whose election to the Senate in 1992 heralded a new era for women at the upper reaches of political power, announced she would not seek re-election. During a daylong meeting at the Denver airport, U.S. Olympic Committee board members chose Boston over Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, to bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Gospel singer Andrae Crouch, 72, died in Los Angeles. One year ago: In a somber televised address, President Donald Trump urged congressional Democrats to fund his border wall and end the stalemate that had shut down much of the government for 18 days; the speech offered little in the way of concessions. Mayor Bill de Blasio said New York City would spend up to $100 million per year to expand health care coverage to people without health insurance, including immigrants in the country illegally.

Cajuns beat Miami of Ohio 27-17 in the LendingTree Bowl on Monday night. Louisiana-Lafayette earned its first bowl win since 2014. It finished with a school-record 11 victories,
two more than the previous mark. “Tonight, our guys were at their best when it mattered most,” coach Billy Napier said. “We made a lot of progress as a team this season and in the last month leading
up to this game.” Lewis was 19 for 26 for 246 yards for the Ragin’ Cajuns (11-3), and Bradley finished with seven receptions for 88 yards. Lewis also had eight carries for a game-high 62 yards.

Mavericks’ 19 points in the final 5:35 of the third to break open what had been a tie game. His 3-pointer gave Dallas a 72-69 lead it did not relinquish. The 20-year-old added 11 rebounds and 10 assists for the Mavs, who played without Kristaps Porzingis for the fourth straight game because of right knee soreness.
Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie scored 16 apiece for the Nets, who lost their sixth straight game after charging back from a 16-point deficit to take a lead in the fourth quarter.

WASHINGTON — Missing star guard Kemba Walker, the Boston Celtics became the latest NBA contender to surprisingly come up short against one of the league’s worst teams, losing to the Washington Wizards as Ish Smith scored 27 points to lead a depleted lineup. Walker sat out his third game in a row with the flu, and while the Celtics won the previous two -- against alsorans Atlanta and Chicago -they couldn’t overcome poor shooting, a slow start and a whole lot of Smith.
ATLANTA — Nikola Jokic scored a career-high 47 points, Will Barton added a season-best 28 and Denver held on to beat Atlanta. The Nuggets, coming off a surprising loss at Washington two nights earlier, have won four of six to improve to 25-11, second-best in the Western Conference. Atlanta, worst in the NBA at 8-29, has dropped 11 of 13.

Nikola Vucevic had 24 rebounds and 11 points for his 300th career doubledouble, and the Magic pulled away in the final seven minutes after going 9:20 without a field goal.
PACERS 115, HORNETS 104 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — T.J. Warren scored 30 of his season-high 36 points in the second half and Indiana topped Charlotte to halt a two-game skid. Domantas Sabonis added 18 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists, and Miles Turner had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Pacers, who had lost four of five. The Pacers, who are 15-4 at home, improved to 8-10 on the road.
KINGS 111, WARRIORS 98 SACRAMENTO, Calif. — De’Aaron Fox had 21 points and seven assists, Buddy Hield also scored 21 and Sacramento thumped Golden State. Trevor Ariza added a season-high 18 points for the Kings, and Harrison Barnes scored 18 as well.

Counting whales from space pitched as key to saving them Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine — An aquarium and an engineering firm in Massachusetts are partnering on a project to better protect whales by monitoring them from space. New England Aquarium of Boston and Draper of Cambridge say whale conservation needs new, higher-tech solutions to protect whales from extinction. So, the pair is working together using data from sources such as satellites, sonar and radar to keep a closer eye on how many whales are in the ocean. The effort has an easy to
understand name for a project involving complex data and surveillance -- the aquarium and firm are calling the project “Counting Whales From Space.” That’s about the only simple thing about the project, said John Irvine, chief scientist for data analytics with Draper. The work will involve gathering data from sources ranging from European space agencies to amateur radio operators to create a probability map of where in the ocean the whales might be, Irvine said. Conservation groups will then be able to monitor whales and their

movements, he said. “If whales are moving out of one area and into another, what’s the reason for that? Is it due to ocean warming,” Irvine said. “Is it changes in commercial shipping lanes? These are all questions we’ll be able to start answering once we have the data.” The partners have committed a combined $1 million to the effort. The project is expected to develop over several years. Aerial surveys are currently the most frequently used method to count whales, partners on the project said. However, that approach is expensive, subject to bad weather conditions and can
be dangerous, they said. Project members said the goal of their work is to develop new technology that uses specially designed algorithms to process all the data they acquire and use it to monitor whales. Exactly what the final product could look like is a work in progress, Irvine said, but the goal is a “global watch on whale movement.” The technology could potentially be used to monitor whales anywhere in the world’s oceans, but some of the most pressing need for monitoring is just off New England, said Vikki

Spruill, president of New England Aquarium. The region’s waters serve as a home to the endangered North Atlantic right whale, which numbers only about 400 and is declining in population. Better data and surveillance tools could help inform conservation of the species, and others elsewhere, Spruill said. Especially since whales rarely respect international boundaries. “These are animals that move across large areas of our ocean,” she said. “Large marine animals don’t have boundaries like we would think of on land.”

Meet romeow Romeow is a super handsome teenager with striking spots that have the look of a Bengal. He is long and lean and full of mischief. He is about 5 months old. Romeow has all the finest kitten traits. He is curious and energetic. He LOVES to play with his brother and the other cats in the house. He can race like the wind and leap tall cat trees. He wants to explore everything. It's only when he's tuckered out is he ready to get still enough to cuddle. And then he's a great little snuggybug. He is a awesome and beautiful cat who may grow up to be a big boy.
