State rep will not seek reelection ANCHORAGE — A state representative from Wasilla will not seek re-election. Republican Colleen Sullivan-Leonard said Tuesday she would not seek to retain her seat, the Anchorage Daily News reported. Sullivan Leonard is the oldest daughter of former Anchorage Mayor George Sullivan. She served multiple terms on the Wasilla City Council before running for state House in 2016. She had filed a letter of intent indicating a 2020 reelection bid but said that was tentative. “Twenty years is a long time in public service, and I’m ready for a change,” she said. Sullivan-Leonard has advocated for state budget cuts and opposed cuts to the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend. She announced her reelection decision now, she said, so that another candidate can file for office and run. The deadline to sign up is June 1.

Iran fires missiles at US base in Iraq By Nasser Karimi, Amir Vahdat and Jon Gambrell Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran struck back at the United States for the killing of a top Iranian general early Wednesday, firing a series of ballistic missiles at two Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops in a major escalation that brought the two longtime foes closer to war. Iranian state TV said it was in revenge for the U.S. killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani, whose death last week in an American drone strike near Baghdad prompted angry calls to avenge his slaying. A U.S. official said there were no immediate reports of American casualties, though buildings were still being searched. Soleimani’s killing and the strikes by Iran came as tensions have been rising steadily across the Mideast after President Donald Trump’s decision to unilaterally withdraw America
from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers. They also marked the first time in recent years that Washington and Tehran have attacked each other directly rather than through proxies in the region. It raised the chances of open conflict erupting between the two enemies, which have been at odds since Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. But in a tweet shortly after the missile launches, Iran’s foreign minister called a ballistic missile attack a “proportionate measures in selfdefense” and said it was not seeking to escalate the situation but would defend itself against any aggression. Iran initially announced only one strike, but U.S. officials confirmed both. U.S. defense officials were at the White House, likely to discuss options with Trump, who launched the strike on Soleimani while facing an upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warned the U.S. and its regional allies against retaliating over the missile attack against the Ain al-Asad air base in
Iraq’s western Anbar province. The Guard issued the warning via a statement carried by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency. “We are warning all American allies, who gave their bases to its terrorist army, that any territory that is the starting point of aggressive acts against Iran will be targeted,” The Guard said. It also threatened Israel. After the strikes, a former Iranian nuclear negotiator posted a picture of the Islamic Republic’s flag on Twitter, appearing to mimic Trump who posted an American flag following the killing of Soleimani and others Friday in a drone strike in Baghdad. Ain al-Asad air base was first used by American forces after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein, and later saw American troops stationed there amid the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria. It houses about 1,500 U.S. and coalition forces. Two Iraqi security officials said at least one of the missiles appeared to
have struck a plane at the base, igniting a fire. It was not immediately clear whether it was an Iraqi or U.S. jet. There were no immediate reports of casualties from the attacks, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they had no permission to brief journalists. About 70 Norwegian troops also were on the air base but no injuries were reported, Brynjar Stordal, a spokesperson for the Norwegian Armed Forces told The Associated Press. Trump visited the sprawling Ain al-Asad air base, about 100 miles or 60 kilometers west of Baghdad, in December 2018, making his first presidential visit to troops in the region. He did not meet with any Iraqi officials at the time, and his visit inflamed sensitivities about the continued presence of U.S. forces in Iraq. Vice President Mike Pence also has visited the base.

A Kenai Peninsula Borough barricade sits near Eddy Lane off of Big Eddy Road near Soldotna on Tuesday to keep traffic from traveling over flooded areas.
Flood warning extended to Friday due to ice jam By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
The borough is continuing to monitor an ice jam on the Kenai River that has caused some minor flooding and road closures near Soldotna. The ice jam — which occurred early Monday morning near Big Eddy in Soldotna — triggered a flood warning from the National Weather Service Monday afternoon. The warning was set to expire Tuesday afternoon but was extended until Friday afternoon. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Roads Department and
Office of Emergency Management responded to the ice jam and flooding Monday morning, and closed vehicle access past Amiyung Court on Eddy Lane. Ongoing cold temperatures could allow the ice jam to grow upstream and residents between Big Eddy and the Sterling Highway Bridge in Soldotna should be prepared for rapidly rising water, the updated flood warning said. 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.
The Homer Electric Association will begin construction this summer on the facility for a new battery energy storage system. The battery energy storage system (BESS) will be capable of storing 93 Megawatt hours of electrical power that can be delivered to the grid at a rate of 46.5 megawatts per hour, according to HEA’s description of the project on their website. Larry Jorgensen, HEA’s director of power, fuels and dispatch, said on Tuesday the system will allow for more consistent power delivery in the event a generator goes down or usage spikes unexpectedly. “If you think of a power system as an equation that’s constantly balanced in real-time, the BESS will be beneficial because it can operate on both sides of the equation,” Jorgensen said. The storage system will be capable of substituting power generation for up to two hours at a time and will also be able to absorb excess energy that is produced. In terms of cost, Director of Member Relations Bruce Shelley said on Tuesday that the project is being See hea, Page A2
Local candidates gear up for 2020 election By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion
With the new year comes a new election for the Alaska State Legislature. Several local lawmakers’ seats are up for the ballot this fall, including Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski, Rep. Gary Knopp, R-Kenai/Soldotna, and Rep. Sarah Vance, Rep. Ben R-Homer. Carpenter In District 29 — which spans the area from Nikiski to Seward to Funny River and Sterling — Carpenter is the representative and
is currently the only candidate registered to run in the district in 2020. Carpenter filed with the Alaska Public Offices Commission last week. Rep. Gary Knopp represents Knopp District 30, where he is registered to run for his seat again. He was first elected to the seat in 2016 and again in 2018. Knopp isn’t the only contender for the seat representing Kenai Ron Gillham and Soldotna. Former state Rep. Kelly Wolf and Ron Gillham are both running
against Knopp for the District 30 seat in 2020. Gillham ran in the 2018 Republican primary race for the District O Senate seat in an effort unseat Rep. Sarah Sen. Peter Micciche, Vance R-Kenai/Soldotna. Wolf served in the House of Representatives in the early 2000s and ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor in 2014. On the southern peninsula in District 31, Vance is running for reelection against Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly President Kelly Cooper of Homer. Also on the southern peninsula,
Sen. Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, is running for reelection to his current seat of District P, which represents the southern peninsula and Kodiak. In this year’s election, there will be 51 legislative seats up for grabs across the state. Prospective candidates have until June 1 to enter the 2020 legislative elections. Candidates should note that they are required to file a letter of intent with the Alaska Public Offices Commission before any fundraising can begin. Candidates can also register with the Division of Elections and fundraise later. The state limits donations to $500 per candidate per calendar year, meaning candidates who registered before the beginning of the year can receive donations twice.

Anchorage for several months, which essentially isolated the Kenai Peninsula from the rest of the utility rail belt. While much of the extra power demand was met by the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Dam during this time, Jorgensen said that being “islanded” in this way can potentially cost the utility company an extra $23,800 per day in additional fuel costs. If HEA already had a battery energy storage system been in place, Jorgensen said, HEA system operations wouldn’t have had to change at all and HEA members would not be “at the mercy of being tied to Anchorage.” The Golden Valley Electric Association, based in Fairbanks, installed a similar battery energy storage system in 2003 that is currently in operation. That system is much larger than what will be installed in Soldotna, Jorgensen said, and can only provide power for about 15 minutes. The BESS will be located at the Soldotna Generation Plant at the corner of the Sterling Highway and Boundary Street.
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.

Volcano spews up ash cloud in 2 bursts By Dan Joling Associated Press
Manny’s Driver Education
ANCHORAGE — A volcano in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands spewed ash into flight paths, prompting a warning to pilots by the National Weather Service. Shishaldin Volcano erupted at 5 a.m. Tuesday, the Alaska Volcano Observatory announced, and sent up an initial ash cloud to 19,000 feet. Clouds initially obscured the mountain, but satellite imagery confirmed the ash cloud, U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Hans Schwaiger said. Seismicity diminished for a few hours, but it then increased again. During the increase, the volcano spewed an ash cloud to 25,000 feet, the observatory announced. The later eruption increased the volume of ash. Wind continued to push the ash cloud northeast into the eastern Bering Sea and away from jet airliners flying between North America and Asia.

However, the National Weather Service upgraded its alert level to a warning. Trace amounts of ash were expected to fall on communities as far away as Sand Point about 140 miles east of the volcano. Seismic activity greatly diminished after noon. The eruptions were confirmed by lighting and satellite data, the observatory said. More explosions could occur or activity could significantly decrease with little warning, according to the observatory. The observatory first detected increased seismic activity at the volcano. Elevated surface temperatures indicated active lava at the vent in the volcano summit, the observatory said. Volcanic ash is angular and sharp and has been used as an industrial abrasive. The powdered rock can cause a jet engine to shut down. The volcano is 679 miles southwest of Anchorage near the center of Unimak Island, the largest island in the Aleutians.
False Pass, a village of 40 people, is on the island’s east side. Unless winds change, the cloud would move north of False Pass and would not pose a threat, Schwaiger said. Shishaldin also erupted Dec. 12, producing an ash cloud that reached up to 25,000 feet, and on Friday, sending an ash cloud to about 24,000 feet. The volcano is a symmetrical cone that is 10 miles in diameter at its base. It rises to 9,373 feet and is the highest peak in the Aleutians. Shishaldin is one of the most active volcanoes in the Aleutian volcanic arc. It has had at least 54 episodes of unrest, including more than 24 confirmed eruptions since 1775, according to the observatory. Most eruptions are small. An event in 1999 spewed an ash column that reached 45,000 feet. The volcano is monitored with seismic and infrasound sensors, satellite data, a web camera and distant infrasound and lightning networks.

What others say
No tears for general, but U.S. risks further escalation
A
lthough world is better off without Soleimani, what’s Trump’s broader Mideast strategy? There can be little doubt that Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Quds Force, deserved the fate that befell him when a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad took his life. As the second most powerful leader in the country, Soleimani was a malevolent force who fomented conflict across the region, provoking or supporting aggression in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen. U.S. veterans were all too familiar with his name, and many openly cheered his demise. Other presidents could have ordered Soleimani’s death, as President Donald Trump did on Thursday. The U.S. has vastly superior military power and intelligence capabilities. Soleimani traveled openly and would not have been a difficult target. But Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama ultimately declined because, in assessing the threat risk, they concluded the chances of yet another protracted war outweighed whatever advantages might have been gained. So did Israel. Trump reached a different conclusion, and now Iranian leaders are vowing “forceful revenge.” Americans in Iraq have been ordered to evacuate, and the U.S. is sending 3,000 more troops into the region. That is an escalation by any definition. Trump has taken an immense gamble here, and Americans need reassurance that an administration notorious for impulsivity gave careful consideration to its actions and possible alternatives, and that it has strategically planned for the aftermath. Patrick Clawson, research director at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and an expert on the Middle East, told an editorial writer that Iran has been provoking the U.S. for months, unwilling to enter into talks. After briefings from administration officials, Clawson said he is confident that “they decided the risk of not acting was greater than the risk of acting. That conversation occurred.” It is possible, he said, that the U.S. would have wound up in this place no matter what, so determined was Iran to antagonize. Despite the severity of the U.S. action, Clawson said it need not necessarily escalate further. “We’ve been in a twilight war with Iran for 40 years,” he said. What must happen now, he said, is action that shows the region American presence will be maintained. “There should be lots of consultation with Iraqi politicians about just how heavy the price will be if more Americans are killed.” But that’s not enough. This administration may have acted unilaterally — others have as well — but now it should be prepared to engage Congress and to tell the American people, with as much detail as possible, what prompted its action and how far it is prepared to go. After all, it is the sons and daughters of this country who will be on the ground in a foreign land carrying out the orders of their commander-in-chief. It is American taxpayers who will fund yet another incursion into the Middle East, after yet another president has promised to end the American presence there. We must also engage our allies, many of whom Trump has spent his presidency disparaging. Even for a nation as powerful as this one, a go-it-alone approach in the quagmire that is the Middle East would be hard-pressed to succeed where well-coordinated, multilateral efforts have failed. An entire generation has now grown up locked in seemingly interminable conflict in the Middle East: Iraq. Iran. Afghanistan. Syria. Lebanon. Yemen. After decades of fighting, the U.S. still has tens of thousands of troops spread across more than a dozen countries. We will not mourn the demise of one such as Soleimani. The world indeed is better off without him. But America should not allow his death to become the flash point for a war that could widen more dramatically than anyone can anticipate. — Minneapolis Star Tribune, Jan. 3

Take stock in the New Year W
hile reading the news on News Year’s Eve, a sense of impending turmoil filled my mind. Heightened unrest in the Middle East, dangerous proclamations by dictators, and democracy being tested at home. There is no question that as a country we have grown more polarized, that national sentiment has permeated our state and local politics as well. The exact moment things began to change from disagreement to anger is hard to identify, the reasons even more so. There are plenty of theories, many of which have merit and are most likely not completely wrong. But are we surprised by where we are today, does the news shock you? Regardless of political affiliation, personal beliefs whether you are up or down, people are angry. That anger justified or not is becoming an American value, a value that will destroy the freedoms we take increasingly for granted. So, what can be done? How can any one person make an impact? It’s naive to believe an individual can influence change, isn’t it? To solve a problem, it must first be understood.
Recognizing that the present is the culmination of past actions, we arrive at the destination that a path leads us to. The culture of anger has neared each time we as individuals choose to step down that path. Every time we choose intolerance, point blame, and give up on empathy, we support anger. Collectively, small actions even if they are passive, our thoughts manifest into the society we see and experience. So, if our individual thoughts and actions created the problem the solution rest within each of us. There are plenty of cliché sayings and motivational statements addressing what an individual can accomplish. Maybe more of us need to read them, but perhaps more of us need to recognize the impacts we make both negative and positive. I would implore all of us to take stock in the New Year and think about what kind of society you want to live in and how your thoughts and actions help to create it. It is easy to find justification for being angry or apathetic, easy to believe that if circumstances change that things will get better, but nothing will change if “we” don’t. Strong leaders inspire and when we cannot
find leadership to emulate, we must become that person. American values have embodied tolerance, acceptance and compromise because the cost of being right is too great. If the challenges we face are met with blame, frustration and absolutes, then solutions will be difficult to find and the associated externalities will be great. As Americans we have so much to lose, more than we will ever gain by getting everything we think we need or want. As individuals we must practice acceptance no matter how justified the indignation. All of us are leaders through our thoughts and actions, and while change is slow and difficult, it has to begin. Only by stepping outside of our echo chambers, turning off polarizing news, and actively trying to understand others without judgment will move society forward and make us resilient once again. Steve Ricci is an active community member in Juneau, sitting on several boards and commissions, past legislative aide working on both sides of the aisle, and past commercial fisherman that still works in the industry — just from a desk now.
news & politics
Warren’s new bankruptcy plan could spark a clash with Biden By Will Weissert Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sen. Elizabeth Warren is promising to remake the nation’s consumer bankruptcy system if elected president, returning to her political roots while also potentially picking a fight with a top rival for the Democratic nomination, former Vice President Joe Biden. The Massachusetts senator on Tuesday unveiled a plan she said would make the process of declaring bankruptcy easier and cheaper for many Americans with debts they can’t pay. It also would largely undo a 2005 law that was backed by Biden and financial industry interests with a lot of political clout in his home state of Delaware. Warren, then a bankruptcy expert and professor at Harvard Law School, clashed with then-Sen. Biden while the law was being debated in Congress — a dust-up she referenced in announcing her new plan. “By making it harder for people to discharge their debts and keep current on their house payments, the 2005 bill made the 2008 financial crisis significantly worse: experts found that the bill ‘caused about 800,000 additional mortgage defaults and 250,000 additional foreclosures,’” Warren wrote in an online post. “And despite the claims from the industry and their allies in Congress that the 2005 bill would reduce credit card costs across the board for consumers, the cost of credit card debt went up, too.” “I lost that fight in 2005, and working families paid the price,” she added. It’s a sign that Warren is seeking to shift focus to domestic policies that have made her the candidate who “has a plan” for top issues at a time when the 2020 campaign could be consumed by rising U.S. tensions with Iran. That’s potentially a strength for Biden, given his experience with foreign policy in the Senate and the
Obama administration. Biden spoke Tuesday in New York about President Donald Trump’s decision to approve an airstrike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. His remarks follow several days of campaigning in which he seemed uncertain of how much to highlight his foreign policy resume. Warren has also talked about Iran, calling Soleimani’s killing an assassination, and she issued a fresh call for de-escalation in the region at the start of her own New York rally with Julián Castro on Tuesday night. Speaking shortly after Iran launched missiles at bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq, Warren told the crowd of thousands that “my heart and my prayers are with our military and their families in Iraq and all around the world.” She added that “this is a reminder why we need to de-escalate tension in the Middle East. The American people do not want a war with Iran.” Tuesday’s bankruptcy plan is especially close to Warren’s heart. As a law professor at the University of Texas, she studied bankruptcy cases nationwide and concluded that, rather than overspending, many people declaring bankruptcy were doing so because the economy “forced them to take on more debt and more risk to cling to their place in America’s middle class. And that meant one bad break could send them tumbling over the edge.” Her extensive study of and writings on bankruptcy made her an expert on the subject when she moved to the faculty of Harvard Law School — and helped prompt a fight with Biden, seven years before Warren was elected to the Senate. During a Senate hearing in 2005, Warren and Biden went back-and-forth, with Biden mentioning credit card companies and saying the problem was not with a bankruptcy proposal that eventually would became law but with borrowing rules. Warren responded,
“You can’t take away the last shred of protection for these families,” which prompted Biden to concede, “You’re very good, professor.” Now that Warren is saying she wants to roll back many of those provisions, some of her supporters see a showdown coming. “When thinking about electability, it would be complete malpractice to nominate someone who conspired in backrooms for years with credit card lobbyists and voted for every corporate bankruptcy bill, Wall Street deregulation, and trade deal that voters hate,” Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said in a statement. “Biden would ironically cede the outsider mantle to a corrupt incumbent president.” Biden’s campaign on Tuesday pointed to a statement that spokesperson Andrew Bates previously released on the 2005 law, saying the then-senator “fought for and won important concessions for middle class families in it.” Warren has feuded for weeks with another candidate bunched with her and Biden for Democratic primary front-runner status: former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Sharpening her rhetoric against Biden would put Warren more in line with a fellow White House hopeful competing for the Democratic Party’s left flank, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. He has for months criticized the former vice president, including saying Monday on CNN that Biden once wanted to cut Social Security and Medicare while in the Senate. Warren says her plan will also “end the absurd rules that make it nearly impossible to discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy” and allow for many of those doing so to keep their homes and cars “so they can start from a firm foundation when they start to pick up the pieces and rebuild their financial lives.”

Make tasty oyster dishes with fresh, local seafood By Teri Robl For Homer News
I plan to enjoy time in the upcoming New Year trying new recipes, searching out and cooking with ingredients I’m not familiar with, reading entertaining cookbooks and participating in a dinner club. I might even spend time this summer helping out at a lodge sharing our Alaska cuisine with tourists. At the top of my list, though, is to be able to cook with family and friends. I love spending time in the kitchen, as it’s my happy place and to share it is always a joy. How are you planning to spice up the culinary part of your life? Send me an email — I’d love to know. The accessibility we have to sustainable fresh seafood and fish and locally grown produce makes my culinary ambitions easy and fun in our beautiful and charming seaside community. The oysters farmed in Kachemak Bay are some of the best anywhere, I would like to think. Their clean, sweet taste reflects the environment they are raised in and the hard work, love and pride our oyster farmers put into bringing them to your table. Oysters Rockefeller Oysters Rockefeller were created in New Orleans, at the legendary Antoine’s. The restaurant refuses to give a recipe, but we do know that neither
T
bacon nor spinach is involved. Instead, the oysters are topped with a roux full of herbs and vegetables, then combined with breadcrumbs and broiled until the bivalves are tender and a delicate crust forms on top. Yield: 4 to 6 servings Rock salt, as needed 12 oysters, chilled 4 tbsp. butter 4 tbsp. flour 1 ⁄4 tsp. cayenne 3 scallions, minced 2 ribs celery, minced 2 sprigs tarragon, stemmed and minced 1 bunch Italian parsley, stemmed and minced, plus sprigs to garnish Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste 3 tbsp. fresh breadcrumbs 3 tbsp. finely grated fresh Parmesan 3 drops of anise extract or 2 teaspoons Pernod 1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. 2. Fill 2 ovenproof baking dishes halfway with rock salt. Dampen the salt lightly with water. 3. Shuck oysters over a bowl to catch their liquor (you should have about 1⁄2 cup), discarding flat top shells. Loosen oysters from bottom shells with a knife. Nestle 6 shucked oysters in their shells into each bed of rock salt; chill. 4. Melt butter in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add oyster liquor; cook until thickened to a paste, about 2 minutes. Stir in cayenne, scallions, celery, tarragon, parsley, and salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until soft, about 1 hour. Transfer to a food processor,
add breadcrumbs, and process into a smooth paste, about 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and anise or Pernod. 4. Place paste in a pastry bag fitted with a 1⁄2” fluted tip. Pipe paste completely over oysters. Alternately, spoon paste over oysters and smooth. Bake until paste begins to brown, and oysters are just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and red pepper sauce.
Southern Fried Oysters with Sriracha Rémoulade These crispy oysters are coated in nutty cornmeal and served with a spicy Sriracha-spiked rémoulade. Maintaining the temperature of the frying oil will guarantee perfectly crispy oysters. Yield: about 20 oysters Sriracha Rémoulade: 1 ⁄2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons Sriracha 1 scallion, finely chopped 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cilantro, finely chopped 1 teaspoon lime juice 1 ⁄2 teaspoon minced garlic Cornmeal-Crusted Oysters: 1 cup cornstarch 1 ⁄4 cup yellow cornmeal 1 ⁄4 teaspoon chile powder 1 ⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 ⁄4 teaspoon sea salt 1 ⁄4 teaspoon dried thyme 1 egg 1 tablespoon water 2 cups (about 20) shucked oysters, drained Vegetable oil for frying Lime slices for garnish Make the Sriracha rémoulade: in a

small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, scallions, cilantro, lime juice, and garlic. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Make the oysters: in a large bowl, mix together the cornstarch, cornmeal, chile powder, garlic powder, salt, and thyme. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Dip 1 oyster in the cornstarch mixture and shake off any excess coating. Dip in the egg wash, then dip in the cornstarch mixture again, shaking off any excess coating. Reserve on a plate. Repeat with the remaining oysters. Pour a half-inch of vegetable oil into a cast-iron skillet. Heat to 370°F. Working in batches, fry the oysters until golden brown and crispy, about 1 minute per side. Transfer fried oysters to a paper towel–lined platter to drain. Be sure to let the temperature of the oil return to 370°F before frying a new batch. Serve immediately with the lime slices and Sriracha rémoulade on the side. As a kid, I remember on Christmas Eve Mom would lovingly prepare this for Dad. He enjoyed it so very much. We kids loved the little oyster crackers served with it. “If there is a traditional Christmas Eve dish in the United States, it is oyster stew.” –James Beard
Oyster Stew Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients 5 tablespoons butter 1 cup milk 2 cups cream 1 1⁄2 pints oysters and liquor Salt and freshly ground pepper Cayenne Chopped parsley or paprika Directions Heat soup bowls. Add a good pat of butter to each bowl. Keep piping hot. Drain the oysters, then heat the milk, cream, and oyster liquor to the boiling point. Add the oysters and bring again to the boiling point. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Ladle into the hot bowls and add a sprinkling of chopped parsley or of paprika. Variation: Sautéed Oyster Stew: Combine the oysters and butter in a skillet and cook until the edges of the oysters’ curl. Add the hot cream and milk and bring to the boiling point. Season, ladle into hot bowls, and serve with oyster crackers.
Happy New Year! I wish you all a healthy, prosperous upcoming year full of good times and good food. Reach Teri Robl at easthood. queen@gmail.com to share your favorite oyster preparations and recipes.
Memories of my mom on her birthday
his column is in memory of my mom, Loretta Edith McClure. Born Dec. 19, 1915 Fort Collin, Colorado Died Feb 3, 1999 Fort Collins, Colorado As you can see by the above title, our mother spent all of her life in the same area. This is what my mother wrote in her tiny handwriting in what I call my “Heritage Book.” Loretta Edith Cogswell grew up near Wellington, Colorado with her parents on a farm. She attended school near Wellington and studied piano for several years by a teacher at the school… When the instructor was no longer available she studied by correspondence with the American College of Music in Kansas City, Missouri. Following two years of high school in Wellington she moved with her parents to a fruit orchard near Fort Collins. She assisted her father with the care and harvest of the fruit and worked various jobs around and in Fort Collins. On August 28, 1936 Loretta and John Melvin McClure were married in Greeley, Colorado. John, formerly of Westfall, Kansas, came to Colorado from Kansas in 1934 working for various area farmers. After spending a month in Kansas following their marriage, John and Loretta return to Colorado, where John was employed by a farmer and sheepherder. The following year February 1937 they rented an irrigation farm east of Fort Collins and one mile from the orchard where Loretta’s parents resided. The owner of the farm Sam Kamp was well known as a producer of Japanese popcorn. He wished to retire. The corn was marketed as KempKorn which he canned and sold to Safeway Stores. (Dad continued to grow corn for Safeway for a few years.) That is all I know about my mother growing up. I never heard her play the piano. She did see to it that Elaine, Ginger and I received piano lessons for many years from Kathryn Sutherland. I inherited my dad’s tin ear and monotone voice. Playing the piano and keeping rhythm and timing were very difficult for me. Once in a while my mom would poke her head through the door while I was practicing and say, “Ann start over — or can you play something different?” I played Christmas carols all year long, just so I could get them perfect at Christmas. I am sure my mother tolerated more than I know! There are five kids in the family: John Jr, Virginia, Elaine and Jim, and I am the oldest. We all were born in Fort Collins and lived in the farm house north of Fort Collins.
Pioneer potluck ‘Grannie’ Annie Berg My first recollection of celebrating my mother’s birthday probably was when I was 6 or 7. Mom always baked her own birthday cake, chocolate angel food cake, and dad would give her a small present. One year he gave it to me to wrap, which I did with utmost care and great honor. I found real pretty wrapping paper and took a long time wrapping it. Those were the days of no Scotch tape, so it had to be tied with ribbon. I was so proud to hand it to her. Dad even said, “that’s real pretty, Ann.” As I gave her the present, she looked at me a little sideways, her chin down and her eyebrow up, and said, “This is Christmas wrapping paper; I guess I have to wait till Christmas.” Dad and I both convinced her it was a birthday present and that she could open it now. So on every birthday, I would remember this and always look for the prettiest birthday paper I could find in the middle of December. In later years she was emphatic about “If you wrap my birthday present in Christmas paper I WILL NOT open it until Dec. 25!” In earlier years she fried chicken, mashed potatoes, made gravy and made her own biscuits for her own birthday dinner. I do not remember Dad ever taking her out to eat, which she probably would have declined anyway. And in later years he bought her flowers — they did not have to be wrapped. We had many birthday parties for her through the years and she was always a little embarrassed at all the fuss. And we never knew exactly how old she was. And she never told either! If my mom was known for anything it was baking cookies. She baked cookies all year round. She baked tons of cookies for Christmas. Susan recalls when we moved to Alaska, she would send us baggies full of cookies, wrapped tightly with twist ties. Packing was crumpled newspaper, which we smoothed out and read. Then the shipping box was wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. Still no Scotch tape. How did we ever do without scotch tape? She would ship us cookies throughout the year. Mom loved flowers and spent
many, many hours irrigating her yard full of lilies of the valley, cosmos, iris, marigolds, pansies, and tending to the big lilac bush. As I have mentioned before, she always carried a hoe everywhere to clean out the little irrigation ditches — but most of all just case she saw a snake. Then she would do her “snake dance,” chop that little water snake into little bitty pieces, dig a little bitty ditch and scrape the remains of the little snake into the ditch. She would scrape some soil over the top of it tamp it down with the bottom of the hoe and then finish by stomping it with her feet. I still smile with this image. Mom loved Christmas and she worked hard for us to have a beautiful Christmas tree, thoughtful presents, wonderful dinners and, most of all, her cookies. She would start the first of November making cookies and continue to bake them after Thanksgiving and a week before Christmas. She stored them gently and carefully in her big freezer. She doled them out carefully, and when the tray was down to crumbs, magically she would fill it again. Her Christmas dinners were spectacular after the remodeling of the farm house. She worked even harder at her dinners and her baking. I can honestly say her most satisfying moments must have been when everyone seated at the dinner table complimented her on her dinners and her baking. She planned her life around baking and cooking. My mom’s favorite cookbook was “The Boston Cooking School Cook Book” written by Fannie Farmer. I have this cookbook plus I have collected three more, one just recently. During World War II, Mom helped Dad in the fields and then cooked meals. She sewed for us, washed clothes in her ringer washing machine in the basement, and carried the wet clothes in the basket up the stairs, out to the clothesline. They were hung on the clothesline in her orderly fashion so the occasional neighbors would not see our underclothes. We would wait for the gentle Colorado breezes to dry them. She taught me how to carefully fold and place them in the basket. After we carried them in the house, we put the towels, sheets and pillowcases away, also the underclothes. Then the clothes that were to be ironed were laid out on the table. We would sprinkle them with warm water and fold them so they could be ironed the next day. That was done every Monday and Tuesday. Mom taught me how to iron so as not to have one wrinkle because “what would the
neighbors think” if we had one wrinkle in our nicely starched clothes. I find myself doing more and more things like my mother did, however, I do not iron clothes because my neighbors do not care if I have wrinkles in my clothes and neither do I. We have a simpler life compared to how it was in the olden days. I am not so sure it’s the best. Happy Birthday Mom! I bet she is in God’s kitchen baking cookies! BANANA BREAD: NEW, DIFFERENT, GOOD Two eggs well beaten 3 large bananas mashed 1 cup sugar 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ cup vegetable oil 1 cup chopped nuts 2 teaspoons vanilla To the well beaten eggs, slowly add sugar. Add bananas to egg mixture. Add the oil. Mix and add flour, salt and soda. Blend well. Add vanilla and nuts. Pour into small greased loaf pans. It will take three small or a large loaf pan. Cook it 350 degrees F until tested with a toothpick — about 45 minutes for small loaf pans and 60 minutes for large pan. (I mixed this all by hand — not with a mixer.) Great texture and great flavor!
STIR-FRIED CASHEW CHICKEN This tasty dish has the flavor of orange and ginger. Prepare 4 cups of boiling water with 2 cups of white rice according to package. 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken thighs, or boneless skinless chicken breast, partially frozen so you can cut in thin strips. 2 large carrots, cut diagonally 2 ribs celery, cut diagonally 1 medium onion, cut in small chunks ½ red pepper and ½ yellow or green pepper, cut in chunks ½ bag stir-fried frozen vegetables 1 small can sliced mushrooms or 1 cup of fresh sliced mushrooms. Cut and slice chicken — set aside. Slice vegetables — set aside. Combine the sauce: 3 ⁄4 cups orange juice 1 tablespoon cornstarch 3 tablespoons soy sauce, or according to your taste 1 ⁄4 cup corn syrup — I used honey for better flavor. 1 ⁄2 to 1 teaspoon grated ginger or more — depends on your taste (Keep ginger in freezer and grate it frozen.) Combine and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in large skillet or wok. Add carrots and celery. Stir and then add onions and peppers. Stir-fry 1 minute and add the half bag of frozen stir-fried vegetables. Stir-fry to desired crispy tenderness. Take out a skillet or wok — keep warm. Add 1 more tablespoon oil. Stir-fry in small batches, until sliced chicken is no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Push
aside in pan and add the orange juice, ginger, and soy sauce mixture — stir quickly until sauce is cooked clear. Add the vegetables. Stir in. Place in warm bowl with 1/2 cup crushed cashew pieces sprinkled on top. Serve in individual bowls over hot rice. Four large servings. NOTE: To expand this: add 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained. If you do not have orange juice, use the drained pineapple juice in the sauce.
MEXICAN FIESTA BAKE I found this on the back of a can. I have often thought I should name a cookbook “I Found This on the Back of a Can or Box.” Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 1 pound ground beef, moose, venison or elk (I used to combine ground turkey half-and-half with the wild game.) 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup chunky style salsa 1 dry package taco seasoning mix 1 ⁄2 cup water 1 cup corn 1 ⁄2 cup sliced ripe olives, drained Cook your choice of meat with the onion in a skillet until no longer pink. Drain off grease. Stir in salsa, taco seasoning, and water. Bring to boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes until thickened. Stir in corn and always. Spoon into an ungreased 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Topping: 1 box of Jiffy Corn Meal Muffin Mix 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 4-ounce can diced green chilies — about 1⁄2 cup Prepare the batter for the corn muffins according to the directions on the package. Stir in cheese and chilies. Spread over top of meat mixture. Bake uncovered in preheated oven at 350 F for 30 to 40 minutes, until crust is golden. Top with more cheese and bake 5 more minutes. Cut in squares and serve with salsa, sour cream, chopped onions and shredded lettuce. I have another recipe similar title “Enchilada Pie.” Great company-coming dish!
SOUR CREAM LEMON PIE I love lemon pie and this is especially good. You will need one 8-inch baked pie shell Mix: 1 cup white sugar 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon of flour 1 tablespoon lemon peel 1 ⁄3 cup lemon juice 1 cup light cream (I always use canned milk) 1 ⁄4 cup butter Slowly bring to a boil on LOW heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thick and clear. You have to watch this because it burns easily. Cool to room temperature. Add 1⁄2 cup sour cream. Fold into lemon mixture until well blended. For topping: 1 cup Cool Whip 1 ⁄2 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, fold in until well mixed 1 ⁄2 teaspoon almond extract 1 ⁄4 teaspoon lemon extract Fold in. Spread over pie and garnish with thin lemon slices. Chill 1 hour.

Official: All on board Ukrainian flight killed The Boeing 737-800 flown by Ukraine International Airlines took off Wednesday morning from Tehran with at least 170 aboard. By Nasser Karimi, and Jon Gambrell Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — A Ukrainian airplane carrying at least 170 people crashed on Wednesday shortly after takeoff from Tehran’s main airport, killing all onboard, state TV reported. The plane had taken off from Imam Khomeini International Airport in the Iranian capital. The crash is suspected to have been
caused by mechanical issues, the TV reported, without elaborating. An investigation team was at the site of the crash in southwestern outskirts of Tehran, civil aviation spokesman Reza Jafarzadeh said. “After taking off from Imam Khomeini International Airport, it crashed between Parand and Shahriar,” Jafarzadeh said. “An investigation team from the national aviation department was dispatched to the location after the news was announced.” Pir Hossein Kulivand, an Iranian emergency official, later told state TV all those on board were killed in the crash. He said rescuers were trying to collect the dead. State TV earlier said there were
180 passengers and crew aboard. The discrepancy could not be immediately reconciled. Flight data from the airport showed a Ukrainian 737-800 flown by Ukraine International Airlines took off Wednesday morning, then stopped sending data almost immediately afterward, according to website FlightRadar24. The airline did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A photo later published by Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency showed rescue officials in a farm field, with what appeared to be pieces of the aircraft laying nearby. The crash came hours after Iran launched a ballistic missile attack targeting two bases in Iraq housing
U.S. forces in retaliation for the killing of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The Boeing 737-800 is a very common single-aisle, twin-engine jetliner used for short to mediumrange flights. Thousands of the planes are used by airlines around the world. Introduced in the late 1990s, it is an older model than the Boeing 737 MAX, which has been grounded for nearly 10 months following two deadly crashes. A number of 737-800 aircraft have been involved in deadly accidents over the years. In March 2016, a FlyDubai 737-800 from Dubai crashed while trying to land at Rostov-on-Don airport in
Russia, killing 62 onboard. Another 737-800 flight from Dubai, operated by Air India Express, crashed in May 2010 while trying to land in Mangalore, India, killing more than 150 onboard. Chicago-based Boeing Co. was “aware of the media reports out of Iran and we are gathering more information,” spokesman Michael Friedman told The Associated Press. Boeing, like other airline manufacturers, typically assists in crash investigations. However, that effort in this case could be affected by the U.S. sanctions campaign in place on Iran since President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers in May 2018.
McConnell: GOP will start trial, delay witnesses By Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Alan Fram Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday he has the votes to start President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial as soon as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi releases the documents, winning support from GOP senators to postpone a decision on calling witnesses. The announcement is significant, enabling McConnell to bypass for now Democratic demands for new testimony as he launches the third impeachment trial in the nation’s history on his preferred terms. It could begin this week if Pelosi sends the articles of impeachment to the Senate. She is set to meet late Tuesday with her leadership team.
“We have the votes,” McConnell told reporters. He said the question of new witnesses and documents will be addressed later “and not before the trial begins.” The contours of a Senate trial have been in dispute. Pelosi is delaying transmission of the articles as Democrats press to hear from former national security adviser John Bolton and other new witnesses. McConnell has resisted and prefers speedy acquittal. The GOP leader told senators at their closed-door lunch Tuesday that he has support for his plan, outlined in an organizing resolution that would be modeled after President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial 20 years ago. It would start the trial first and postpone votes on witnesses until later in the process. “He has 51 (votes), for sure,”’
said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a top ally of the president, exiting the meeting. Republicans hold the majority in the Senate, 53-47. In withholding the articles, Pelosi gave Democrats an opportunity to ramp up pressure on Republicans not to go along with McConnell’s proposal. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called McConnell’s plan a “trap” and a “coverup.” “Whoever heard of a trial without witnesses and documents?” the New York Democrat said. He asked Trump what he has to hide. “Witnesses and documents: fair trial. No witnesses and documents: cover- up.” Republicans countered that Democrats rushed to impeach and then delayed the process. Pelosi has yet to choose House impeachment managers for the trial, a politically sensitive next step, with many
Trump eyes legal team WASHINGTON — Republican House members John Ratcliffe and Jim Jordan are being considered for a role on President Donald Trump’s defense team for the upcoming Senate impeachment trial, a person familiar with the discussions said Tuesday. A final decision has not been made, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal conversations. But both lawmakers are known for their vocal advocacy of the president and were aggressive questioners of witnesses during the House impeachment proceedings. Trump’s defense team already includes White House counsel Pat Cipollone. Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow — who represented the president during special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation — is also expected to play a significant role. — Associated Press
lawmakers vying to be candidates. The House impeached the president last month on the two charges. Just four GOP senators would be needed to deny McConnell his majority, but he appears to have locked up the votes. GOP leaders
were conducting a whip count Tuesday to gauge support. Several GOP senators have indicated they want to hear from Bolton and other witnesses, but they are nevertheless standing with McConnell’s plan for starting the trial.
Stampede kills 56 at funeral for slain Iran general By Nasser Karimi, Amir Vahdat and Jon Gambrell Associated Press
TEHRAN, Iran — A stampede broke out Tuesday at the funeral for a top Iranian general slain in a U.S. airstrike, and at least 56 people were killed and more than 200 were injured as thousands thronged the procession, Iranian news reports said. As the crowds mourned Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem
Soleimani, more angry calls rose from Iran to avenge his death, drastically raising tensions in the Middle East. The U.S. continued to reinforce its own positions in the region and warned of an unspecified threat to shipping from Iran in the region’s waterways, crucial routes for global energy supplies. U.S. embassies and consulates from Asia to Africa and Europe issued security alerts for Americans. The U.S. Air Force launched a drill with 52 fighter jets
in Utah, just days after President Donald Trump threatened to hit 52 sites in Iran. Tuesday’s deadly stampede took place in Soleimani’s hometown of Kerman as his coffin was being borne through the city in southeastern Iran, said Pirhossein Koulivand, head of Iran’s emergency medical services. There was no information about what set off the crush in the packed streets, and online videos showed only its aftermath: people lying
apparently lifeless, their faces covered by clothing, emergency crews performing CPR on the fallen, and onlookers wailing and crying out to God. “Unfortunately as a result of the stampede, some of our compatriots have been injured and some have been killed during the funeral processions,” Koulivand said, and state TV quoted him as saying that 56 had died and 213 had been injured. Soleimani’s burial was delayed,
with no new time given, because of concerns about the huge crowd at the cemetery, the semi-official ISNA news agency said. A procession in Tehran on Monday drew over 1 million people in the Iranian capital, crowding both main avenues and side streets in Tehran. Such mass crowds can prove dangerous. A smaller stampede at the 1989 funeral for Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini killed at least eight people and injured hundreds.

Cannabis startup pulls out of CES show amid limits
LAS VEGAS — A Canadian cannabis tech company has pulled out of the CES gadget show after being given constraints on how it could promote its products. Nearly a dozen states allow the use and sale of marijuana for recreational purposes, and policies around the world vary. Broad marijuana sales began in Nevada in 2017. Las Vegas, where CES takes place, is now home to what’s claimed to be the world’s largest cannabis dispensary, Planet 13. But CES organizers say marijuana’s acceptance isn’t widespread yet. CES organizers prohibited Keep Labs from mentioning the word cannabis, showing cannabis in promotional materials or discussing what the Keep device does. “We don’t allow pornographic. We don’t allow content where children are killed. We don’t allow anything with vaping,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, which organizes CES. “Marijuana has been a tougher one for us.”
1 dead, 5 rescued from avalanche at Idaho ski area KELLOGG, Idaho — An avalanche at an Idaho ski resort killed one person Tuesday, and rescuers dug out five others who had minor injuries, officials said. Silver Mountain Resort confirmed the death and injuries in a Facebook post. Searchers were still combing through the snow with probes and rescue dogs, resort officials said. “The staff at Silver Mountain extend their deepest sympathies to the family of the individual,” the post said. “Out of respect of the person’s family and their privacy, no further details will be
released at this time.” The Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office said earlier that it had received reports of up to three separate avalanches on the mountain just south of the city of Kellogg in northern Idaho. The sheriff’s office said it got calls about three people possibly trapped. It later said four people had been recovered in the avalanche area, while searchers kept looking.

Putin visits Syria to meet Assad, a key Iran ally
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump won permission to ask New York’s highest court to overturn a ruling that he is not immune from state court lawsuits while in office. The ruling Tuesday by an intermediate appeals court in Manhattan came in the case of former “Apprentice” contestant Summer Zervos, who sued Trump for defamation after he publicly denied her claims that he sexually assaulted her more than a decade ago. Trump claimed the U.S. Constitution places him beyond the reach of state courts, but his argument was rejected by a trial judge. In March 2019, a panel of appellate judges in Manhattan backed the lower court, saying in their decision that a “president is still a person.”
DAMASCUS, Syria — Russian President Vladimir Putin traveled to Damascus on Tuesday for a meeting with President Bashar Assad, a rare visit that comes amid soaring tensions between Iran and United States following the U.S. drone strike that killed a top Iranian general. While the official statements made during the previously unannounced visit made no mention of the killing last week of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the timing was conspicuous. The U.S. strike that killed Soleimani minutes after he landed in Iraq has drawn vows of retaliation from Tehran and its proxy militias in Baghdad and Beirut. It has also led the U.S. to re-position its troops in Iraq following calls by the Iraqi Parliament and prime minister for U.S. forces to leave the country.
Storms bring relief and danger to wildfires
Boeing: Pilots need simulator training for Max
CANBERRA, Australia — Thunderstorms and showers brought some relief for firefighters battling deadly wildfires across Australia’s drought-parched east coast on Wednesday, but also raised concerns that lightning will spark more fires before dangerous hot and windy conditions return. Around 2,300 firefighters in New South Wales state were making the most of relatively benign conditions by frantically consolidating containment lines
Boeing said Tuesday it is recommending that pilots receive training in a flight simulator before the grounded 737 Max returns to flying, a reversal of the company’s long-held position that computer-based training alone was adequate. The recommendation is based on changes to the plane, results from tests involving a small number of pilots, and a commitment to the safe return of the Max, Boeing said. — Clarion news services

All coaching jobs full except for Browns By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer
The Cowboys and Redskins went the experience route in their head coaching searches. The Giants and Panthers apparently are comfortable with newcomers to the job. Dallas replaced Jason Garrett with a Super Bowl winner, Mike McCarthy, who was as successful in Green Bay as anyone this side of Vince Lombardi. Washington went with Ron Rivera, who twice won NFL Coach of the Year honors in Carolina and also took the Panthers to a Super Bowl. Replacing Rivera will be Matt Rhule, a worthy college coach at Temple and Baylor, but with minimal time in the pros. And the Giants, whose last two
coaching choices, Ben McAdoo and Pat Shurmur, got fired, are on the verge of going with Joe Judge, New England’s receiving and special teams maven. Still open is the Cleveland job — doesn’t it always seem to be? The Browns flopped with untested Freddie Kitchens in charge, so maybe they’ll want someone of the ilk of McCarthy and Rivera. Then again, it’s the Browns. Of the four hires, only Rivera is a minority. Despite the push for diversity in coach hirings under the Rooney Rule, the NFL has only three other minority head coaches among the 32 teams: Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin, the Chargers’ Anthony Lynn, and Miami’s Brian Flores. As opposed to new owner David
Tepper in Carolina, it appears longtime owners Jerry Jones in Dallas and Daniel Snyder in Washington went the safer route. That’s understandable with the Cowboys, who underachieved in a big way this season and are far closer to contending than are the Redskins. The 56-year-old McCarthy, who went to the playoffs nine times in 12-plus seasons with Green Bay and won his Super Bowl in Jones’ stadium, is a solid fit in Big D. The Cowboys are expected to give Dak Prescott a longterm contract any day, and McCarthy is a QB-friendly coach. He also is bringing a proven defensive coordinator, Mike Nolan, with him. Rivera has a far bigger task to get the Redskins into the playoffs
conversation, and he also has hired an established defensive coordinator in Jack Del Rio. Once Rivera was dismissed in Carolina, though, Snyder made enticing him to DC a goal. He reached that objective with the promise that the organization will undergo a “culture change” under Rivera. “Someone that can bring a winning culture to our organization,” Snyder said. “That starts and ends with our head coach.” Washington’s record since Snyder bought the team in 1999 is 142-1931, with one postseason win. Rivera, who turned 58 on Tuesday, is the third experienced head coach Snyder has hired. The others were Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs, whose second stint was not memorable, and Mike Shanahan, who did not
fare any better than recently fired Jay Gruden. “I told him I didn’t want to go through a five-year rebuilding process,” Rivera said of the owner. “I just don’t have the patience, and from what I’ve read, neither does he, so we understand that.” Patience certainly will be a virtue for the Panthers and Giants as they basically take a big risk on their hires. Rhule, 44, has a history of rebuilding programs in difficult situations. But those were in college. He faces the same kind of challenge in Carolina: The Panthers had seven-game losing streaks in the second half of each of the last two seasons. Quarterback Cam Newton has had a string of injuries and barely played in 2019.
CIA, Ninilchik split By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion
It may be a cold night in January, but the Ninilchik boys and Cook Inlet Academy girls know that conference games count just the same. The Ninilchik boys and CIA girls pulled out Peninsula Conference victories Tuesday night at Cook Inlet Academy in Soldotna. The girls game went 34-29 to the Eagles, while the boys game went 74-54 to the Wolverines. The CIA boys (0-2 conference, 0-4 overall) pushed Ninilchik (1-0, 4-0) and stayed close, holding the Wolverines to a single-digit lead by the opening of the fourth quarter, but Ninilchik finally pulled away with a 17-6 run, part of a 25-point, fourth-quarter burst for the Wolverines. “They all knew these games are important at the beginning of the year,” said Ninilchik head coach Dick Hawkins. “Now is when it counts.” Ben Botero led Ninilchik with a game-high 22 points while teammate Cole Hadro added 20, including eight in the fourth quarter. The Eagles were paced by Mason
Zeigler’s 20 points. The win was another in the hat of Hawkins, who went 4-0 coaching against CIA last season. The season ended roughly for the Wolverines, who lost two straight statequalifying games at the conference tournament in March and missed out on the big dance entirely. Hawkins said the Ninilchik boys’ recent holiday break did not go very well due to a string of illnesses that took over the team. Hawkins said only one player was able to make all the scheduled practices over the two weeks, and the added lull of midwinter has left the team a bit sloppy on the court. “We made a lot of unforced errors but that’s typical of this time of year,” he said. CIA couldn’t close out in search of its first win, something that first-year head coach Brian Moore alluded to after the game. “I told the guys that we need to cut the lead to six points at the end of the (third) quarter, and it went the other way,” Moore said. After Botero set the pace early on with nine points in the opening eight minutes, it was Hadro that helped fuel the closing run for Ninilchik.
CIA kept its rivals in sight, trailing 35-28 at halftime and just 49-40 by the end of the third quarter. In the final eight minutes, Ninilchik was able to make its move. Hadro drilled a pair of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, including one with 4:05 left to play that pushed the lead to 62-46. Hadro then collected a defensive rebound on the next possession and drove the length of the floor for a layup. Botero put back a secondchance jumper following a missed free throw to add to the lead. In the girls game, the host Eagles weathered the storm as Ninilchik exploded for 19 points in the fourth quarter after scoring just 10 in the first three frames combined. Returning as the defending Peninsula Conference champions, the CIA girls are working to find scoring depth after the graduation of conference MVP Adara Warren. Ninilchik, meanwhile, is back in 2019-20 after missing out on last spring’s 1A state tournament after losing the conference tournament second-place game to Nikolaevsk. See HOOPS, Page A9

Lakers rip Knicks, Davis leaves with back injury By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Anthony Davis left in the third quarter after bruising his lower back on a painful fall during the Los Angeles Lakers’ sixth straight victory, 117-87 over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. Davis bruised his sacrum — the bottom part of his spine above the tailbone — when he attempted to block Julius Randle’s driving shot. He got knocked off balance and fell awkwardly to the court, landing hard on his back with 2:45 left in the third. The six-time All-Star pounded the court in pain and stayed down for
roughly two minutes, but eventually rose with his teammates’ help and then slowly walked off unaided. X-rays were negative, but Davis didn’t return to the game. His agent, Rich Paul, said his client felt extremely sore.

Peter Morgan of the Kenai River Brown Bears earned North American Hockey League Bauer Forward of the Month honors, announced Tuesday by the league. Morgan, 19, was acquired from the Amarillo (Texas) Bulls in mid-October. This season, he had played a total of nine games for the Bulls and the Aberdeen (South Dakota) Wings and had just one assist before going to Kenai River. After just two games with the Bears, Morgan was put on a line with Cody Moline and Wasilla’s Porter Schachle. Morgan had a goal and two assists in his first four games
with the line, then the line really jelled and Morgan really hit his stride starting Nov. 8. In the 19 games since then, Morgan has only gone two games without scoring any points. “Since I got to Kenai River, I have been lucky enough to be paired with some great linemates in Porter Schachle and Cody Moline and that has made all the difference in the world and helped me a ton,” Morgan said in a statement released by the league. “My confidence really went up when all that happened and I was happy. I started scoring some goals in December. “We have a great team here and the coaches have been awesome, so we want to keep that going and keep our focus
on trying to win the division.” Morgan, 5-foot-6, 155 pounds, of Sarasota, Florida, had 12 points in just seven games in December. The month included eight goals, four assists and a rating of plus-11. Morgan has 29 points in 25 games since joining Kenai River. “Peter has been extremely consistent for us these last few months,” Kenai River head coach Kevin Murdock said in a released statement. “After starting out this season slow, he has really hit his stride throughout the month of December. “He has really made the most of his opportunities this year and continues to See NAHL, Page A9

get better every day. He is very competitive and holds himself to a high standard of play every night. We are
very happy for Peter to win this honor and look for him to continue to pick up steam as we head into the second half of the season.” Morgan had 21 points, coming on nine goals and 12 assists, in 39 games for Aberdeen last season.

DEAR ABBY: I recently attended a wedding and was videotaped while I was dancing. I was shown the tape later at a family gathering. I’m not a great dancer, and I looked silly, so I asked that the video be deleted. Instead, it was passed around and everyone laughed and made fun of me. It was embarrassing and hurtful.

Gulf amid in an emergency flight restriction. A stampede broke out Tuesday at Soleimani’s funeral, and at least 56 people were killed and more than 200 were injured as thousands thronged the procession, Iranian news reports said. Shortly after Iran’s revenge missile launches early Wednesday, Soleimani’s shroud-wrapped remains were lowered into the ground as mourners wailed at the grave site. Tuesday’s deadly stampede took place in Soleimani’s hometown of Kerman as his coffin was being borne through the city in southeastern Iran, said Pirhossein Koulivand, head of Iran’s emergency medical services. There was no information about what set off the crush in the packed streets, and online videos showed only its aftermath: people lying apparently lifeless, their faces covered by clothing, emergency crews performing CPR on the fallen, and onlookers wailing and crying out to God. “Unfortunately as a result of the stampede, some of our compatriots have been injured and some have been killed during the funeral processions,” Koulivand said, and state TV quoted him as saying that 56 had died and 213 had been injured. Soleimani’s burial was delayed, with no new time given, because of concerns about the huge crowd at the cemetery, the semi-official ISNA news agency said. A procession in Tehran on Monday drew over 1 million people in the Iranian capital, crowding both main avenues and side streets in Tehran. Such mass crowds can prove dangerous. A smaller stampede at the 1989 funeral for Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini killed at least eight people and injured hundreds. Hossein Salami, Soleimani’s successor as leader of the Revolutionary Guard, addressed a crowd of supporters gathered at the coffin in a central square in Kernan. He vowed to avenge Soleimani, who was killed in
a U.S. drone strike Friday near Baghdad’s airport. “We tell our enemies that we will retaliate but if they take another action we will set ablaze the places that they like and are passionate about,” Salami said. “Death to Israel!” the crowd shouted in response, referring to one of Iran’s longtime regional foes. Salami praised Soleimani’s work, describing him as essential to backing Palestinian groups, Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria. As a martyr, Soleimani represented an even greater threat to Iran’s enemies, Salami said. Soleimani will ultimately be laid to rest between the graves of Enayatollah Talebizadeh and Mohammad Hossein Yousef Elahi, two former Guard comrades killed in Iran’s 1980s war with Iraq. They died in Operation Dawn 8, in which Soleimani also took part. It was a 1986 amphibious assault that cut Iraq off from the Persian Gulf and led to the end of the war that killed 1 million. The funeral processions in major cities over three days have been an unprecedented honor for Soleimani, seen by Iranians as a national hero for his work leading the Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force. The U.S. blames him for killing U.S. troops in Iraq and accused him of plotting new attacks just before he was killed. Soleimani also led forces supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad in
that country’s civil war, and he also served as the point man for Iranian proxies in countries like Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen. Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Assad in Syria on Tuesday amid the tensions between Washington and Tehran. Soleimani’s slaying already has led Tehran to abandon the remaining limits of its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers as his successor and others vow to take revenge. In Iraq, pro-Iranian factions in parliament have pushed to oust American troops from Iraqi soil following Soleimani’s killing. Germany and Canada announced plans to move some of their soldiers in Iraq to neighboring countries. The FAA warning barred U.S. pilots and carriers from flying over areas of Iraqi, Iranian and some Persian Gulf airspace. The region is a major East-West travel hub and home to Emirates airline and Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel. It earlier issued warnings after Iran shot down a U.S. military surveillance drone last year that saw airlines plan new routes to avoid the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. Maritime Administration warned ships across the Mideast, citing the rising threats. “The Iranian response to this action, if any, is unknown, but there remains the possibility of Iranian action against U.S. maritime interests in the region,” it said.
