Man charged in death of woman in vacant apartment ANCHORAGE — A Fairbanks man killed his girlfriend in the apartment they shared and moved her body to a vacant unit across a hallway in the same building, according to state prosecutors. Eric Rustad, 39, is charged with first-degree murder, evidence tampering and misconduct with a corpse in the death of Kristen Huntington, 30. Rustad was arrested Thursday night. He is represented by the Alaska Public Defender agency, which does not comment on pending cases. An email sent to the agency Friday requesting comment was not immediately returned. Huntington’s co-worker on Jan. 10 told Fairbanks police that Huntington was missing and had not been seen for two days. The co-worker said it was highly unusual for Huntington to miss work and not call. In a sworn statement accompanying charging documents. Detective Avery Thompson said police early on Jan. 11 spoke to Rustad at his apartment and were told that he had argued with Huntington and that she had left. Police walked through the apartment and departed. That afternoon, Avery said, Rustad showed up at the police department lobby with his wrists and arms slashed. Rustad was suicidal, and officers administered first aid, police said, adding that Rustad also told police, “I know I did it.” When asked about Huntington, Rustad said that on Jan. 9, he had drunk alcohol and blacked out. He took his child to school, he said, and when he returned, he found Huntington dead on the floor, he told police. Police searched his apartment again and could not find Huntington. The child later told police he had seen Huntington on the floor with a blanket over her. On Jan. 12, after witnesses said Rustad was packing, police spoke to the apartment manager. She told officers they should check a vacant See news, Page A6

Town hall topics: crime, taxes, PFD By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
In anticipation of the upcoming legislative session in Juneau, Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, held a town hall Thursday night to speak to constituents about his priorities and answer questions about voters’ concerns. Micciche’s town hall took place at the Betty J. Glick Assembly Chambers
in Soldotna and drew a crowd of about 40 people. Micciche also streamed the town hall live on Facebook, which as of Saturday had been viewed by more than 3,200 people. Micciche started by addressing the repeal of Senate Bill 91, a controversial crime bill that had most of its provisions removed with the passage of House Bill 49 last year. Micciche was involved in the passage of both of those bills and said that criminal
justice is still a top priority for him going into this session. Micciche invited Capt. Maurice Hughes and Lt. Mike Zweifel of the Alaska State Troopers to speak to the impacts that HB 49 has had on law enforcement efforts. Hughes and Zweifel noted that one of the biggest differences they have seen was in cases of people driving with their license revoked. Prior to the passage of HB 49, this offense
typically warranted a citation without arrest. Since the passage of HB 49 and its enactment on July 11, 2019, which turned driving with a revoked license into a misdemeanor offense that constitutes arrest, Zweifel said that 168 of these misdemeanors have been charged on the Kenai Peninsula alone.

Murkowski wants to hear case before deciding on witnesses By Becky Bohrer Associated Press
JUNEAU — Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she’s comfortable waiting to decide if more information is needed as part of the Senate’s impeachment trial until after hearing arguments from House managers and attorneys for President Donald Trump and questions from members. The Republican said Saturday she wants to make sure there’s a process that allows senators to “really hear the case” and ask questions “before we make that determination as to, what more do we need. I don’t know what more we need until I’ve been given the base case.” Murkowski spoke to reporters from Anchorage ahead of Senate impeachment trial proceedings expected to begin Tuesday. If Democrats try to add certain witnesses to an organizing resolution, Murkowski said she expects Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would move to table such a request and that she would support a tabling motion. “Because what I’ve worked hard

Page A2 to do is make sure that we have a process that will allow for that determination” — whether witnesses or documents are needed, she said. “But I want to have that at a point where I know whether or not I’m going to need it.” She said there are political pressures “on all of us” but said her responsibility is “not to focus on the politics of where we are but a recognition that we are in the midst of an infrequent and in many ways extraordinary process that the Constitution allows for, and I’m going to take my constitutional obligations very, very seriously.” Regardless of how one views the House’s handling of the impeachment process, the matter is now before the Senate, she said, adding later she does not want the proceedings to become a “circus.” Trump was impeached by the House on charges he abused his power by pushing Ukraine to
investigate his Democratic political rival Joe Biden and that he obstructed Congress by blocking witnesses and testimony in the House investigation. Trump has said he did nothing wrong. Murkowski said a recent Government Accountability Office report that concluded the White House violated federal law by withholding congressionally approved security aid to Ukraine reminded her of last year’s debate over Trump’s declaration of a border emergency that he invoked to spend more for border barriers than Congress had approved. During that debate, she said she maintained the president could not take funds congressionally directed to one area and use them to advance his own policies. “Whether it was for the wall or for any other thing, I have been one that has said, ‘Congress has a very specific role when it comes to appropriation of funding and that needs to be respected,’ ” she said. She said she viewed the GAO report with a “little bit of concern,” in part because of the need to respect Congress’ appropriation powers.
A member of the Soldotna City Council has introduced a resolution to support state legislation that would expand the state’s hate crime aggravators to include protections for LGBTQ individuals. Resolution 2020-006 was introduced by council member Jordan Chilson and is titled “A resolution supporting Alaska House Bill 198, an act relating to aggravating factors considered at sentencing.” The resolution states that “The Council of the City of Soldotna supports the expansion of hate crime protections under AS 12.55.155(c) (22) to include ‘sexual orientation or gender identity’ through Alaska House Bill 198.” Alaska Statute 12.55.155(c) defines a number of aggravators that can be considered when a judge is determining the sentence for an individual convicted of a crime. Section 22 of this statute says that one of the factors to be considered is if the person in question “knowingly directed the conduct constituting the offense at a victim because of that person’s race, sex, color, creed, physical or mental disability, ancestry or national origin.” HB 198, introduced by Rep. Andy Josephson, D-Anchorage, would amend section 22 of AS 12.55.155(c) to include sexual orientation and gender identity in the list of protected categories. HB 198 was introduced after a Soldotna LGBTQ advocate was assaulted in December, in an attack she believes may have been motivated by her sexual orientation. As a result, members of the community held a town hall in Soldotna related to LGBTQ safety on Jan. 4, during which they called on state lawmakers to change hate crime laws in Alaska to include protections for See protect, Page A3

Community gathers to remember Alan Boraas — educator and trailblazer By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
Passionate, driven, patient — those were just a few words used to describe longtime anthropology professor Dr. Alan Boraas as the community gathered together Friday night to celebrate his life and mourn his passing. The celebration of life for Boraas, who died Nov. 4 of last year, packed the auditorium in the Ward Building of Kenai Peninsula College as friends, colleagues and family members spoke of his accomplishments and his legacy both at the college and with the Dena’ina People. Boraas was a professor of anthropology at Kenai Peninsula College for over 40 years. During that time he worked to preserve the Dena’ina language with Peter Kalifornsky,
the last Native speaker of the Outer Cook Inlet dialect of the Dena’ina language. By doing so, Boraas played a pivotal role in expanding KPC’s Native language programs into what they are today. Boraas also helped to create the Tsalteshi Trails system, which is used year-round for cross-country skiing and other outdoor activities. Gary Turner, director of KPC, announced during the celebration of life that the college’s anthropology lab would be renamed the Dr. Alan “Tiquitsex” Boraas Anthropology Lab in honor of the late professor. Tiquitsex was the Dena’ina name given to Boraas when he was made an honorary member of the Kenaitze See boraas, Page A2

Trump team, House managers trade sharp views on trial By Eric Tucker, Zeke Miller and Lisa Mascaro Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s legal team issued a fiery response Saturday ahead of opening arguments in his impeachment trial, while House Democrats laid out their case in forceful fashion, saying the president betrayed public trust with behavior that was the “worst nightmare” of the founding fathers. The dueling filings previewed arguments both sides intend to make once Trump’s impeachment trial begins in earnest Tuesday in the Senate. Their challenge will be to make a case that appeals to the 100 senators who will render the verdict and for an American public bracing for a presidential election in 10 months. “President Donald J. Trump used his official powers to pressure a foreign government to interfere in a United States election for his personal political gain,” the House prosecutors wrote, “and then attempted to cover up his scheme by obstructing Congress’s investigation into his misconduct.” Trump’s legal team, responding to the Senate’s official summons for the trial, said the president “categorically and unequivocally” denies the charges of abuse and obstruction against him. “This is a brazen and unlawful attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election and interfere with the 2020 election, now just months away,” the president’s filing states. Stripped of legalese and structured in plain English, the documents underscored the extent to which the impeachment proceedings are a political rather than conventional legal process. They are the first of several filings expected in coming days as senators

The word translates to “He breaks the trail.” Turner also pointed out an old yellow office chair that sat empty onstage and explained that it was Boraas’ office chair for his entire career at KPC. “There’s something about that chair. People feel a connection to Alan,” Turner said. “For me, I can imagine Alan’s spirit sitting there and watching us.” Boraas’ trailbreaking was a common theme mentioned by the people who spoke during the event. In addition to having the anthropology lab renamed in his honor, University of Alaska Chancellor Cathy Sandeen announced that Boraas had been posthumously awarded the title of Professor Emeritus by UAA. Professor Emeritus is a title given to retired professors with at least 10 years at the university and a long
prepare to take their seats for the rare impeachment court. Senators swore an oath to do “impartial justice”’ as the chamber convenes to consider the two articles of impeachment approved by the House last month as Trump’s presidency and legacy hangs in balance. One Republican whose votes are closely watched, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, acknowledged Saturday the political pressure bearing on them. “I’m going to take my constitutional obligations very, very seriously,” she told reporters from Anchorage on a call. The House’s 111-page brief outlined the prosecutors’ narrative, starting from Trump’s phone call with Ukraine and relying on the private and public testimony of a dozen witnesses — ambassadors and national security officials at high levels of government — who raised concerns about the president’s actions. The House managers wrote: “The only remaining question is whether the members of the Senate will accept and carry out the responsibility placed on them by the Framers of our Constitution and their constitutional Oaths.” The Trump team called the two articles of impeachment “a dangerous attack on the right of the American people to freely choose their president.” Trump’s team encouraged lawmakers to reject “poisonous partisanship” and “vindicate the will of the American people” by rejecting both articles of impeachment approved by the House. The Senate is still debating the ground rules of the trial, particularly the question of whether there will be new witnesses as fresh evidence emerges over Trump’s Ukraine actions that led to impeachment.

Turner said that awarding a professor with the title of Emeritus is typically a lengthy process that can take several months, but an exception was made for Boraas. Among those who spoke at the Celebration of Life were Boraas’ children — his sons Peter and Erik Boraas, his daughter Kristin BoraasCarder, and his stepdaughter Ailis Vann. “When I think of him I think of his sly smile, when he was making a joke that you didn’t realize was a joke until partway through,” BoraasCarder said. “Of his seriousness about how to live well. But a lot of what made him who he was were the things he loved, like the magical cold. He had a great enduring love of the northland — its wildness, its wilderness, its beauty, and how you could learn to live with the land instead of against it, like the Native peoples did. “He never stopped trying to
lawyer Rudy Giuliani, is being incorporated in the House case. At the same time, Senate Democrats want to call John Bolton, the former national security adviser, among other potential eyewitnesses, after the White House blocked officials from appearing in the House. With Republicans controlling the Senate 53-47, they can set the trial rules — or any four Republicans could join with Democrats to change course. Murkowski told reporters she wants to hear both sides of the case before deciding whether to call for new witnesses and testimony. “I don’t know what more we need until I’ve been given the base case,” Murkowski said. The House’s impeachment managers are working through the weekend and will be at the Capitol midday Sunday to prep the case. Trump’s answer to the summons was the first salvo in what will be several rounds of opening arguments. Trump will file a more detailed legal brief on Monday, and the House will be able to respond to the Trump filing on Tuesday. Trump’s team led by White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Trump personal lawyer Jay Sekulow, is challenging the impeachment on both procedural and constitutional grounds, claiming Trump has been mistreated by House Democrats and that he did nothing wrong. The filings came a day after Trump finalized his legal team, adding Ken Starr, the former independent counsel whose investigation into President Bill Clinton led to his impeachment, and Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor emeritus who intends to make constitutional arguments. White House attorneys and Trump’s outside legal team have been debating just how political Monday’s legal brief laying out the

contours of Trump’s defense should be. Some in the administration have echoed warnings from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that the pleadings must be sensitive to the Senate’s more staid traditions and leave some of the sharper rhetoric exhibited during the House proceedings to Twitter and cable news. One Democratic aide said Saturday that Trump’s initial filing read more like a Trump campaign fundraising email than a legal document. People close to the Trump legal team said Cipollone would deliver the president’s opening argument before the Senate and that Sekulow would follow. Starr and Dershowitz would have “discrete functions” on the legal team, according to those close to the legal team, who were not authorized to discuss the strategy by name and spoke on condition of anonymity. At issue in the impeachment case are allegations that Trump asked Ukraine to announce an investigation of Democratic political rival Joe
Biden at the same time the White House withheld hundreds of nearly $400 million in aid from the former Soviet republic as it faces a hostile Russia at its border. The Government Accountability Office said last week the administration violated federal law by withholding the funds to Ukraine. The money was later released after Congress complained. The House brief said, “President Trump’s misconduct presents a danger to our democratic processes, our national security, and our commitment to the rule of law. He must be removed from office. Trump’s attorneys argue that the articles of impeachment are unconstitutional in and of themselves and invalid because they don’t allege a crime. Under the Constitution impeachment is a political, not a criminal process, and the president can be removed from office if found guilty of whatever lawmakers consider “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

unforeseen events gave me a full month and a half with my dad, just he and I and the dogs,” Peter Boraas said. “We explored the new Tsalteshi Trails, went to Salmonfest, we laid slate in his sauna and ate toast, and it was fun to learn that he and I make good roommates. But the best part was towards the end, we were sitting in the yard, watching the sunset, and he said, ‘How about we shoot that video, that interview that we’ve been talking about doing.’ So I grabbed my camera and asked one question: Tell me about your life.” In one of section of the interview, which was shown in two parts, Boraas spoke of his fight against the construction of the Pebble Mine and his travels to Bristol Bay to speak with Alaska Natives and salmon fishermen who lived
in the area and were worried about their livelihood being destroyed. “As humans, we tend to elevate into the spiritual that which is most important in our lives,” Boraas said in the video. “In this case, the people have elevated the most important thing in their lives: wild foods. In this case, salmon. So you put all that together, that’s the threat to the people. That’s why they are frightened of a very large mine, one of the largest in North America, sitting at the headwaters of their rivers, with the potential to pollute it, either a breach in the dam or groundwater leeching of toxic chemicals, or any one of a number of things that could happen. It’ll destroy the cultures. It’ll be the last time. And people would say ‘It’s not worth the risk. It’s not worth the risk.’”
Earlier in the interview, Boraas spoke of his time working with Kalifornsky to document the Dena’ina language — an experience he considered to be one of the great accomplishments of his life. “One of the principles of life is that you have to recognize important opportunities when they avail themselves,” Boraas said in the video. “Because that’s how you change the world.” Peter Boraas created a website to honor his father, alanboraas.com, which features biographical information, historical photos, and links to articles written by Boraas throughout the years. There is also a Facebook page titled “Remembering Dr. Alan Boraas,” where people are encouraged to share their memories of the professor.

Geneva Elizabeth Stasek
November 26, 1928 - January 10, 2020 Longtime Alaskan resident, Mrs. Geneva Elizabeth (Harvey) Stasek, 91, passed away on Friday, January 10, 2020 in Kenai, Alaska. No services will be held. The family thanks all who have given their prayers and sympathies. Geneva Elizabeth (Harvey) Stasek was born November 26,1928, in Washburn, Wisconsin to Alonzo and Frances Harvey. After graduating high school, Geneva moved to Ashland, WI to attend County Normal College and received her teaching certificate, working summers as a waitress. After college, she worked at Munsing wear sewing piecework on men’s and women’s clothing until marrying Milton Stasek in the summer of 1950. Geneva and Milton moved to Washington State where Geneva took care of their children, Lynne, Gwen, Wendy and Keith. In the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, Milton worked during the summers as a pilot and mechanic for Aerocopters, who were contracted to fly geological surveys across Alaska surveying for oil rich areas to begin exploration. Geneva finally decided it was time for the whole family to make the move to Alaska, and in August of 1965 she drove the Alcan highway with her children and moved to Gakona. Geneva ran the local Laundromat there while Milton worked at Wilson’s Air Service. The next year they moved into Gulkana/ Glenallen until 1967, when Milton was hired by Kenai Air Service and they moved to the Kenai area. Geneva and her husband took ownership of Kenai Fabric Center on May 1, 1970. Geneva worked in the shop alone for many years, and her girls would help out for free fabric. Her daughters, Wendy and Gwen, began working at the store full time in 1976, and Lynne joined the staff in 1992. The Kenai Fabric Center became much more than just a business, it is where Milton and Geneva lived and retired, to where their children made their living, where their grandchildren grew up and where her great-grandchildren go to visit and play. Geneva was the heart of the store. She taught generations on the Kenai to sew, crochet and knit and could always be counted on for a smile and a surprisingly strong hug. Knitting and collecting recipes were her passions. Her cookbook collection is incredible. What’s even more incredible is she could find a recipe for almost anything in minutes. She knew all those books, front to back. In addition, she would also hand write recipes to try out on her family, with notes on who liked what. For many years after her retirement, she knitted hats for needy children. It started as a way to use of her leftover yarn, but when people heard what she was doing they donated more and more yarn. Over the years she made and donated over 1,500 hand knitted hats to children around the world. In the end she never ran out of yarn. Geneva was humble, loving, patient and kind. She loved children, and besides her own, was known as “grandma” to many people in our community. She has left a legacy of love and patience, and those who had the privilege of knowing her are the better for it. She is very loved and will be terribly missed by her family and friends. Geneva is preceded in death by her father, Alonzo Samuel, and her mother Frances Violet; sisters, Beatrice Frances, Florence Marian, and Pauline Wilhelmina; brothers, Kenneth Scott and Myron Keith; and her husband Milton James. She is survived by her sister Gladys Violet, and brothers Alonzo Samuel and Elton Dale. She is also survived by daughters Lynne Ann and her husband, Richard Dykema, Gwen Annette and her husband Michael Woodard, Wendy Frances and her husband Jackie McGahan; son, Keith Joseph Stasek. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Sasha Ann Fallon, Richard Kenneth Dykema, Dana Michelle Woodard, Daniel Shir Dykema, Marcie Elise Duncan, Cameron Michael McGahan, Nicole Annette Stasek, Cody Shea McGahan and Max James Stasek, as well as twelve great-grandchildren.

Chilson was also in attendance at the town hall and said that he would call on Soldotna’s City Council to support the legislation. “If you look at this nationally, a lot of states have already passed legislation along these lines, so this is basically just Alaska playing catch-up,” Chilson said

“Now each one of those 168 offenses now gives us the opportunity to look further into the stop and dig for other crimes,” Zweifel said. “And like the captain mentioned that’s where we get drug crimes, we get weapons crimes out of there, we find probation violations that are happening, and that allows us to be more effective.” Micciche also touched on the fact that HB 49 made it so that possession of heroin or methamphetamine is a felony on the second offense. Micciche said that his version of the bill would have made the first offense a felony. “By charging them now, first step misdemeanor second time a felony, not only do you have a way to get to the person trafficking those drugs but you’re also finally giving them incentive to turn their lives around. You’re giving them incentive to go for counseling, getting their treatment, hopefully becoming clean for the rest of their lives, becoming productive individuals in their community. Without that, they pay the ticket and go on, so we really had no way to move off of this cycle, which is killing so many Alaskans and destroying the lives of so many others.” One member of the audience pushed back on the notion of treating drug addicts like criminals. “Everyone here has someone in their family with an alcohol or a hard drug addiction,” the audience member said. “They are our neighbors … and I feel that we missed some of the ability to put some money into mental health and in

support for getting out of drug addiction.” Micciche said he also considers funding treatment options important but stressed the importance of charging possession as a criminal offense in order to go after drug dealers. Micciche also focused on the state budget during his town hall and discussed what needs to be done to fix the “self-imposed recession” that he says has been caused by inaction on the part of the Legislature. Micciche said that Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed Fiscal Year 2021 budget includes six different options. The administration’s preferred option, Micciche said, includes a full statutory Alaska Permanent Fund dividend but has a shortfall of about $900 million. “We’re all going to have to give up something,” Micciche
said. “If any one group gets everything they want, something doesn’t work. This is going to have to be about compromise. I don’t care how conservative you are, I don’t care how liberal you are, if you get everything you want it doesn’t work mathematically.” Micciche said the likely outcome for the budget would be a compromise that includes cuts in spending as well as additional sources of revenue. When it came to new forms of taxes, Micciche said that would be more inclined to support a sales tax or some other form of consumption tax than an income tax, and said that an income tax is still not likely to be popular within the Legislature. Micciche also addressed another potential source of additional revenue that is being pushed from outside of the Legislature: the Fair
Share Act ballot initiative. The initiative calls for a reform of Alaska’s oil tax structure and includes the repeal of the perbarrel credit that producers currently receive. Micciche is not in support of this ballot initiative, and said any policy proposal that can “fit on a bumper sticker” is not good policy. “I am never going to say that I’m not willing to sit down and talk about tax policy, because I am,” Micciche said. “I just think it needs to be done in a very public setting with the right people that can give us the right information so that we can make decisions together as a state.” Micciche answered more than a dozen questions from the audience at the end of the town hall, which ranged from concerns about drugs in schools to the prevalence of sexual assault across the state to questions about the legislature’s binding caucuses. The full town hall can be found on Micciche’s Facebook page. Alaska’s legislative session begins Jan. 21.

Camera records moose trapping Alaska man in shed By Dan Joling Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — An Alaska man carrying garbage to his shed had to take cover inside when a curious bull moose decided to join him. A Ring home security camera captured Curtis Phelps trapped inside the shed while the moose, with just one antler, tried to push his way inside. The moose eventually moved on and Phelps escaped after calling his wife, Amy, with his cellphone. “He’s like, let me know when I can get out of the
shed,” she said Friday. “I’m stuck in the shed.” The Phelps live in south Anchorage, where moose are regular visitors. Two years ago, a cow gave birth to a calf in their back yard. Since then, a young moose, possibly the same calf, has regularly returned. The home security camera in December 2018 recorded the moose on the Phelps’ front porch eating a Christmas wreath that the family had hung. The latest encounter occurred at about 11 a.m. Jan. 11. The family was having a lazy Saturday, Amy Phelps said. She had placed
a garbage sack on the front porch and Curtis decided to take it to their locked shed. “He said he walked out and he looked both ways as we always do and nothing was there,” she said. “All he wore was his hat. He had his cellphone, though.” Curtis unlocked the shed, deposited the garbage sack, stepped outside and spotted the moose moving his way — and picking up its pace. He ducked inside and the moose walked up to the door and gently pushed it. “He could see him pushing,” she said. “It’s cracked a little bit.” Curtis heard footsteps
along the side of the building and suspected the moose had moved. He called his wife to make sure. She ignored the call. “I thought he was just accidentally calling me,” she said. “I had no clue that the poor thing was stuck in there.” Curtis then called his 13-year-old daughter inside the house. She wanted to keep sleeping and ignored the call, Amy Phelps said. On his third call to his wife, she picked up. She heard Curtis yelling and looked outside but could not see him. She finally figured out he

fend off a bear. More people in Alaska are injured by moose than bears, according to the department. Amy Phelps said she’s not sure what the moose was thinking as it walked toward her husband. “This one seemed kind of aggressive,” she said. “I don’t know. You can’t trust them,” she said.

What others say
Local coverage of meetings is crucial M
ost people who read their local newspaper are grateful for the coverage. Sometimes, it is quaint and folksy. Other times it is gritty. Only on occasion does our local news coverage border on scary, which is a blessing. Among those articles there are regularly what we refer to as “meeting stories.” We attend these meetings to chronicle the decisions that are being made by elected (and appointed) officials on our behalf. One of the greatest tragedies of a shrinking newsroom is: We don’t have enough reporters to be at all the meetings. But this time of year, we’re around. We are upholding that tenet of the public trust by serving as the watchdog. Budgets require it. How your tax dollars are spent is a laborious process for towns and cities to hammer out, but it is equally mindnumbing for journalists — most of whom are assigned to multiple communities. That’s a lot of numbers, percentage increases (rarely decreases) and line items to keep track of. And every winter, in the months leading up to Town Meeting Day, when budgets are being presented to boards, hearings are scheduled, and warnings and ballots are put into place, the newsroom is always abuzz over three points of interest. First, there are rarely members of the public attending the meetings. The level of engagement is often limited to a gadfly or two (usually former public officials), the PEG access camera person and a reporter. That’s a generalization, of course, but many officials reading this are nodding in acknowledgment that the public, in large part, is not involved in how budgets are formed. Second, the town budget of 50 (or even 25) years ago is not the same as the budget of today. There are state requirements here and fees there. Capital equipment often requires complicated financing (contingent on voter approval) and, heaven forbid, the calls for a bond issue. Especially on school boards, as soon as the superintendent starts talking about the CLA or the debt service, even the most devoted board members start to squirm in their seats. Running a community is an education, and being a layperson who is expected to grasp more than “health insurance rates are up” and “enrollment is down” can be a real challenge at a time where the state — and most communities — are not flush with cash. (Just look at how grand lists have changed in towns and cities outside of Chittenden County.) Third, despite efforts to the contrary, many town officials either don’t follow the state’s Open Meeting Laws, or they choose not to. Which brings us back to the watchdog. “Open government is the best government.” It sounds good. It sounds like it is in the best interest of every taxpayer; it represents a transparency and structure that allows for open discussion — a public vetting of issues — a public vote, and the proper distribution of outcomes to voters (the taxpayers). And yet, reporters attending meetings often return to the newsroom, consulting the secretary of state, the Vermont League of Cities and Towns or state statute for the state’s open meeting law (1 VSA §§ 310-314) and the public records law (1 VSA §§ 315-320). “These laws implement the command of Chapter I, Article 6 of the Vermont Constitution that officers of government are ‘trustees and servants’ of the people and are ‘at all times, in a legal way, accountable to them.’” And what every good reporter knows is that “Every municipal board, council, commission and committees (legally defined as ‘public bodies’) of a municipality is required to comply with the Open Meeting Law. The Law applies when there is (1) a quorum of a public body; (2) involved in a discussion or taking action; and (3) the subject matter of the discussion is one over which the body has authority or responsibility.” And yet many town officials do not know it. Meetings need to be warned. And when meetings have concluded, drafts of the minutes need to be posted in short order. Boards can’t go behind closed doors to discuss business unless it is under the provisions of executive session. And those provisions are: a personnel matter, a real estate deal, or a contract negotiation. And no action can be taken during an executive session. You would be amazed just how often executive session is illegally used, even though the Secretary of State travels the state regularly to educate communities on how to see the process through correctly. Where journalists cannot attend a meeting, public access television stations (Vermont has 25 covering more than 80% of the state) are recording or live streaming many of them. In Vermont, they are good partners in open government. Local coverage of news is crucial — not just for what decisions are being made on behalf of voters and taxpayers, it is crucial for keeping our elected and appointed officials on task. — Times Argus (Vermont), Jan. 14

n case anyone hasn’t noticed, our ecosystems in Alaska are collapsing. It all starts in the Arctic, specifically the Bering Sea where the ominous signs of the impacts of climate change on ecosystems were vividly illustrated in 2019, by reports of alarming die-offs of gray whales, seals, sea birds, salmon, and other fresh and marine water species due to high water temperatures, loss of sea ice and increases in harmful algal blooms. Because the Bering sea is sort of like the canary in the coal mine for what we can expect in the rest of the Arctic, it seems that even if we can turn global CO2 emissions around, the ecosystem in the Arctic will eventually unravel. These same signs of unraveling ecosystems are showing up throughout Alaska, including the Kachemak Bay Fox River Watershed. In 2019, for example, several thousand common murres starved to death in the bay when the forage fish they depend on became inaccessible and thousands of outmigrating and returning salmon died in Jakolof Creek for the second time in three years because the stream dried up completely at the end of August. For the sixth year running, clam populations did not support harvesting on the north side of the bay, and sea otters continued to wash up on local beaches, dead from a bacterial infection thought to be exacerbated by warming ocean waters. So, with the Kachemak Bay Fox
River Watershed showing signs of the same dramatic impacts to marine and freshwater species that have been occurring in the Arctic, it’s fortunate that almost 50 years ago, the Alaska Legislature had the foresight to establish the Kachemak Bay Fox River Critical Habitat Area (CHA) in order “to protect and preserve habitat areas especially crucial to the perpetuation of fish and wildlife, and to restrict all other uses not compatible with that primary purpose.” With climate change beginning to take its toll on fish and wildlife, we need this unique area to serve as a sanctuary, or at least a place where climaterelated impacts can be kept to a minimum. Gov. Mike Dunleavy for example, quashed research that has illuminated the unprecedented effects of increased carbon emissions on the state’s fresh water and marine ecosystem by dismantling the state’s Climate Action for Alaska Leadership Team established by Gov. Bill Walker and by imposing substantial budget cuts on the University of Alaska. Now, the Dunleavy administration is attempting to add increased harassment to the list of threats to fish and wildlife species in the form of the Dunleavy administration’s recent proposal to repeal the ban on Jet Skis (or personal water craft) within the CHA. Groups who support allowing Jet Skis within the CHA point out that power boats have been operating
within the CHA from the beginning, and authorizing Jet Skis, therefore, is a simple matter of fairness. Jet Skis, however, are a different breed from your run-of-the-mill power boats because they are loud, fast and maneuverable machines used solely for recreational purposes and, therefore, are more likely to be used to inadvertently or purposefully harass wildlife. Also, there are multiple other activities already taking place within or directly adjacent to the CHA, that potentially threatened fish and wildlife habitat because they can result in damage to salmon streams, low water flows, competition with invasive species or harassment of fish and wildlife, including livestock grazing and illegal fourwheeler use, fish hatcheries and nearby hydropower diversions. Instead of adding one more such activity to the list, therefore, we should be looking at means to mitigate the existing non-climate stressors before they hasten the demise of the fresh water and marine ecosystems already straining under the weight of rapidly increasing temperatures and drought.

Oil tax changes require more careful consideration
O
n Friday, a group submitted an application to once again change the rules when it comes to Alaska’s tax structure. This is yet another attempt to write legislation by ballot measure. Those who lent their signature to the cause have our state’s best interest in mind. After all, couldn’t the political acrimony of the previous year be solved with a simple tax change? Proponents have told us that we can have a full PFD and all the services we want if we simply “sign here.” Like most things in life, things that sound too good to be true usually are. Public policy requires research, dynamic modeling, and debate whereas this measure was written by a small group out of public view. No public process was followed nor any modeling performed to show the initiative’s likely economic impact. Unfortunately this two-page initiative is half-baked, having been constructed out of the public eye and away from the transparency of our tax policy process. We all know Alaska remains at a crossroads. Our economy continues to rebound from the recession, and for the third year in a row our
population declined. However, Alaskans have real reason to be optimistic about a meaningful turnaround in the oil patch. Companies that have never considered development in Alaska are now making large investments. Legacy companies are also spending billions on innovative new projects that will put more oil into the pipeline. With these investments, Alaska will benefit for years to come: jobs, revenue, and increased oil production. Companies make investments of this magnitude only after a great deal of study. Exploratory data, financial forecasts, investor sentiment, regulatory burden, comparative opportunities, and tax structures must all come together for what are multi-billion dollar go/no-go decisions. For Alaska, several of these multi-decade, largescale investments are on the precipice of approval. Like so many other Alaskans, I’m a business owner; and as a business owner, I know tax rates are a major factor in determining the extent to which we can invest in the growth of our services, our facilities, and our team. Oil tax proponents want us to believe that a 300% tax increase on the industry will have no impact on
current and new investments. A claim like that is simply false. As Alaskans, we expect and seek out the straight facts. The coming debate on this issue will provide an opportunity to receive more complete and accurate information. Oil tax policy is a complex matter, and to do it right, we need input from all sides: state experts, industry, economists, elected officials, and public citizens.

Undergrad tuition hikes for fall semester proposed By Michael S. Lockett Juneau Empire
SEEKING APPLICATIONS FOR A RAILBELT GRID ORGANIZATION
The Railbelt utilities have joined together to form a Railbelt Reliability Council (RRC). The RRC provides a forum and structure for the six interconnected Railbelt utilities, along with six non-utility stakeholders, to work together to address Railbelt-wide regional electric system issues in order to ensure grid resilience and reduce long term costs. Applications are being sought from qualified organizations
University of Alaska Southeast, along with other schools in the University of Alaska system, is looking at increasing tuition by 5% starting the fall 2020 semester. The tuition increase, discussed at a Friday Board of Regents meeting, was brought on by drastic cuts to the state’s funding of the UA college system. The increase will generate between $375,000 and $500,000 for UAS, said university chancellor Rick Caulfield. The 5% increase only applies to resident undergraduate students. The proposed tuition hike will cost a student taking 15 hours per semester roughly $400 more per year. The increase in cost per credit hour for a lower division course, or a freshman and sophomore level course, will go from $223 to $234. For an upper division course, it will go from $269 to $282. Caulfield noted that only three students participated in a meeting that was set up for students to speak with university officials about the matter. University chancellors also discussed their process for funding cuts for their respective universities during the meeting. “Even if we’re gonna be smaller, we’re going to maintain quality in the programs we
do have,” Caulfield said in a phone interview. “We do our best to stay away from acrossthe-board cuts.” UAS’ strength lies in its teacher education track, marine biology and science programs, and in interdisciplinary programs, Caulfield said. UAS will also continue to focus on mining and maritime-oriented vocational training, as well as some other smaller programs that are central to UAS’ identity. “Those are all programs that produce graduates that have the opportunity to go to work in Southeast Alaska,” Caulfield said. “There are programs that have smaller enrollments that are nevertheless critical to our mission at UAS. We want to continue to support the language programs and the Northwest art programs so they continue producing excellent graduates.” To help with increased costs, Caulfield proposed, UAS will be taking a number of steps, including providing a 25% discount on occupational endorsement classes. The university will also be attempting to maximize financial support for students who have completed their FAFSA, taking 15 credits or more with the “Stay on Track” initiative, and for students who don’t qualify for Pell Grants. • Contact reporter Michael S.

The examiner listed the cause of death as blunt force trauma to the face and back. A search of Rustad’s apartment revealed blood stains that someone had tried to scrub, police said. He is jailed at the Fairbanks Correctional Center.
Agency to hold public hearing on BP-Hilcorp sale ANCHORAGE — A public hearing on a sale between two oil giants was scheduled despite a request by the companies to approve the
transaction without one, oversight committee members said. The eight-member Regulatory Commission of Alaska was established by Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy to monitor the $5.6 billion sale of BP Plc assets in Alaska to Hilcorp Energy Co. The committee announced Friday that the hearing will be held on Feb. 4 from 3-9 p.m. at the agency’s offices in downtown Anchorage. The committee already received about 200 written comments during a comment period that ended in December, but this hearing would “allow additional comment on the applications,” committee members said in a statement signed by Chairman Robert Pickett. “The comments both supported the transfer of (BP pipeline assets to Hilcorp) and expressed concerns with the transfer,” committee members said. The hearing will allow the public to comment on the companies’ request to transfer a portion of the 800-mile trans-Alaska pipeline and other pipeline assets to Hilcorp, officials said. — Clarion news services

Dems blitz Iowa ahead of trial By Julie Pace Associated Press
NEWTON, Iowa — As a winter storm barreled down on Iowa, Elizabeth Warren’s campaign team struggled with whether to scrap a town hall scheduled at the old Maytag headquarters. There was more than weather at play as the Massachusetts senator’s campaign monitored the forecast and called expected attendees to gauge their willingness to brave the snow and whipping wind. For the Democratic presidential candidate, the event was probably one of her last chances to make a face-toface appeal to voters in Iowa before the Feb. 3 caucus. So it went on as planned. Warren, along with Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, is soon to be marooned in the Senate as a juror in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. With the trial schedule up in the air, this weekend is likely the final full weekend of campaigning for those candidates before the kick-off caucus. That’s left their campaigns scrambling to make the most of their time in Iowa and the other early-voting states, and thinking of ways to stay on voters’ radars during the trial in Washington. It’s also given their 2020 rivals outside the Senate an opportunity to take advantage. Klobuchar trails the top tier of contenders in polling and fundraising and needs a strong showing in Iowa to catapult her campaign into the next round of primaries. She insisted that the demands of the Senate trial wouldn’t
hurt her candidacy. “I’m a mom and I can balance things really well,” Klobuchar said during an event Saturday in Coralville. But privately, the collision of the trial and the caucus has created anxiety among campaign advisers who face the prospect of their bosses being trapped in the Senate as silent jurors just as voters in Iowa are taking a final look at the candidates. The full schedule for the Senate trial is uncertain, and it’s possible it wraps up before the caucuses. But campaigns are planning for the prospect of the candidates being in Senate session Tuesday through Saturday next week, as well as five or six days the following week. The fourth Democratic senator still in the race is Michael Bennet of Colorado. Well-funded candidates such as Warren and Sanders are considering putting private planes on hold in Washington so they can quickly fly to Iowa for late-night events after the trial wraps up. Sanders has already scheduled an 8 p.m. rally in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday, taking advantage of the one-hour time difference between Washington and Iowa. Campaign surrogates are planning to headline events during the week that the candidates can appear at via livestream video. Warren’s team has Reps. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Katie Porter of California on standby, as well as Julian Castro, the former Obama housing secretary who dropped out of the presidential race this month. Sanders’ wife, Jane Sanders, will headline an
event in Las Vegas next weekend and will introduce her husband, who will participate by video. Still, the Senate schedule has increased the pressure on the candidates to make the most of what may be their last free weekend. Warren had three events scheduled Saturday with influential interest groups. Klobuchar was headlining three town halls in eastern Iowa. Sanders was campaigning in New Hampshire, the next state on the primary calendar, before heading back to Iowa on Monday. “I wish I could be back in New Hampshire and Iowa, but I will be in Washington doing my constitutional duty,” Sanders told voters during an event Saturday in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The Senate trial has added a layer of uncertainty to the political climate in Iowa, where the Democratic race remains exceedingly close. Recent polls show Warren, Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, in a virtual tie, with Klobuchar trailing behind. Biden and Buttigieg will largely have the state to themselves once the impeachment trial begins. Biden and Buttigieg do not serve in the Senate, and neither currently has any other job. Biden has events scheduled in Iowa four out of the next five days. Buttigieg plans to be in the state nearly every day until the caucuses, focusing in particular on smaller Iowa cities and towns less often seen by his top rivals.
Women’s March rallies draw thousands By Lynn Berry Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Thousands gathered in cities across the country Saturday as part of the nationwide Women’s March rallies focused on issues such as climate change, pay equity, reproductive rights and immigration. Hundreds showed up in New York City and thousands in Washington, D.C. for the rallies, which aim to harness the political power of women, although crowds were noticeably smaller than in previous years. Marches were scheduled Saturday in more than 180 cities. The first marches in 2017 drew hundreds of thousands of people to rallies in cities across the country on the day after President Donald Trump was inaugurated. That year’s D.C. march drew close to 1 million people. In Manhattan on Saturday, hundreds of people gathered as part of a “Rise and Roar” rally at separate events in Foley Square and Columbus Circle. “Today, we will be the change that is needed in this world! Today, we rise into our power!” activist Donna Hylton told a cheering crowd in Foley Square. Snow began falling by the afternoon in Manhattan, apparently putting a damper on plans for the two groups to converge in large numbers near Times Square. In downtown Los Angeles, thousands of men, women and children filled several blocks as they made their way from a plaza to a park adjacent to City Hall, where a rally featured speeches by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Mayor Eric Garcetti, Rep. Maxine Waters and others. Jennifer Siebel Newsom credited women for mobilizing against gun violence, creating the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and discrimination, and taking back the

Gun-rights activists gear up for show of force in Virginia RICHMOND, Va. — Police are scouring the internet for clues about plans for mayhem, workers are putting up chain link holding pens around Virginia’s picturesque Capitol Square, and one lawmaker even plans to hide in a safe house in advance of what’s expected to be an unprecedented show of force by gun-rights activists. What is provoking their anger in this once reliably conservative state is the new Democratic majority leadership and its plans to enact a slew of gun restrictions. This clash of old and new has made Virginia - determined to prevent a replay of the Charlottesville violence in 2017 ground zero in the nation’s raging debate over gun control. The Virginia Citizens Defense League’s yearly rally at the Capitol typically draws just a few hundred gun enthusiasts. This year, however, thousands of gun activists are expected to turn out. Second Amendment groups have identified the state as a rallying point for the fight against what they see as a national erosion of gun rights. “We’re not going to be quiet anymore. We’re going to fight them in the courts and on the ground. The illegal laws they’re proposing are just straight up unconstitutional,” said Timothy Forster, of Chesterfield, Virginia, an NRA member who had one handgun strapped to his shoulder and another tucked into his waistband. VCDL president Philip Van Cleave said he’s heard from groups around the country that plan to send members to Virginia, including the Nevada-based, far-right Oath Keepers, which has promised to organize and train armed posses and militia.
UK treasury chief: Some businesses may hurt after Brexit LONDON — The British government has announced plans for special events on the night of Jan. 31 when the country officially leaves the European Union but the country’s treasury chief has admitted that some U.K. business sectors will suffer as a result. Sajid Javid told the Financial Times in an interview Saturday that Britain’s regulations will not be aligned with the EU in the future and that those changes may hurt some businesses. Currently the EU is Britain’s largest trading partner. “There will not be alignment, we will not be a rule-taker, we will not be in the single market and we will not be in the customs union — and we will do this by the end of the year,” he said, referring to a deadline at the end of 2020 for conclusion of what are expected to be contentious trade talks with the then-27 member EU.
Report: Oregon marijuana sales 420% stronger near Idaho

Participants of the Women’s March make their way around the White House on Saturday three years after the first march in 2017, the day after President Donald Trump was sworn into office.
Democratic majority in the House of Representatives. “In 2020, I have no doubt that it will be women who will lead again, rise up and move this country forward on a path toward justice,” she said. In Denver, organizers opted to skip the rally after the march and instead invited participants to meet with local organizations to learn more about issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, gun safety and voting. Several thousand came out for the protest in Washington, far fewer than last year when about 100,000 people held a rally east of the White House. But as in previous years, many of the protesters made the trip to the nation’s capital from cities across the country to express their opposition to Trump and his policies. From their gathering spot on Freedom Plaza, they had a clear view down Pennsylvania Avenue to the U.S. Capitol, where the impeachment trial gets underway in the Senate next week. In Washington, three key issues
seemed to galvanize most of the protesters: climate change, immigration and reproductive rights. “I teach a lot of immigrant students, and in political times like this I want to make sure I’m using my voice to speak up for them,” said Rochelle McGurn, 30, an elementary school teacher from Burlington, Vermont who was in D.C. to march. “They need to feel like they belong, because they do.” Peta Madry of New London, Connecticut, was celebrating her 70th birthday in D.C. by attending her fourth Women’s March with her sister, Cynthia Barnard, of San Rafael, California. Both women were wearing handknitted pink hats that date from the first march. With pained expressions, they spoke about Trump’s determination to reverse the policies of his predecessor Barack Obama and his treatment of women. “Look what he’s doing to Greta Thunberg,” Madry said, referring to the teenage climate activist. “He’s the biggest bully in the world.”
PORTLAND, Ore. — Marijuana sales in Oregon along the Idaho state line are 420% the statewide average, according to a state report. Idaho residents are purchasing recreational marijuana in Oregon because it is illegal in Idaho, the report released Friday by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis said. The report also showed stronger marijuana sales for Washington state along its border with Idaho in 2019 than along its borders with Oregon or Canada. “The sales in counties along the Idaho border were much stronger than I anticipated,” analyzer Josh Lehner said. “Obviously recreational marijuana is not legal in Idaho, but even after throwing the data into a rough border tax model that accounts for incomes, number of retailers, tax rates and the like, there remains a huge border effect.” A border effect occurs when two neighboring jurisdictions have different rules prompting residents to travel to nearby regions to take advantage of the different regulations, experts said. — Clarion news services
Migrants blocked from crossing border span By Maria Verza Associated Press
CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico — Mexican authorities closed a border entry point in southern Mexico on Saturday after thousands of Central American migrants tried to push their way across a bridge spanning the Suchiate River between Mexico and Guatemala. Honduran migrants waved their country’s flag and sang the national anthem as they approached the bridge. At the height of the confrontation, Guatemalan authorities estimated 2,500 migrants were on the bridge, or attempting to get on it. Mexican National Guardsmen slammed down a metal fence that reads “Welcome to Mexico” to block the path of the migrants. Babies cried and tempers flared as the crowd swelled. Amid shoves, Mexican officials did allow a few migrants to enter the country in groups of 20, while a voice over a loudspeaker warned migrants against trying to slip into Mexico without
passing through immigration filters. Piecemeal, more than 150 migrants entered to apply for asylum in Mexico as the day wore on. But many migrants prefer to pass through Mexico en route to the United States. Mexico again finds itself in the role of immigration enforcer as Central Americans desperate for a better life try to make their way north, while Mexico’s biggest trade partner — the United States —insists that Mexico prevent those migrants from reaching the U.S. border. Mexico’s National Migration Institute said via Twitter on Saturday that it had reinforced multiple points along the country’s southern border to assure “safe, orderly and regular immigration.” It also said it was using drones to monitor the region. Hundreds of guardsmen lined the river to prevent migrants from crossing into Mexico clandestinely. The voice on the loudspeaker warned, over and over, that those aiming to transit through Mexico may not be granted asylum in
the U.S., even if they make it there. As temperatures rose Saturday, migrants trickled back across the bridge to Guatemala. By late afternoon, fewer than a hundred remained on the bridge. Marvin Aguirre, 33, was one of the few who remained on the span. He stretched a sheet across metal poles on the bridge to protect his family from the afternoon sun as they mulled their options. The family would like to start a new life in Mexico, he said, but they fear Mexican authorities will deport them. Aguirre set out from the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula on Tuesday with three children, his wife and a baby granddaughter. “This is hard, especially with the children,” he said. “But there in Honduras, there’s nothing to do. Everything is burned. There’s no work.” Mexico’s government has said migrants entering the country without registering will not be allowed to pass from its southern border area. But those seeking asylum or other protections will be allowed to apply and legalize their status in Mexico.

Homer tops Kenai By Jeff Helminiak Peninsula Clarion

When the Homer hockey team got to work, Kenai Central had a hard time stopping the Mariners. Homer notched a 7-0 Railbelt Conference victory over the Kards on Saturday at the Kenai Multi-Purpose Facility. The Mariners move to 6-1-1 in the league and 14-2-1 overall, while the Kardinals fall to 3-3-1 in the league and 6-8-1 overall. The two teams had skated to a 4-4 tie on Nov. 23 in Homer. Saturday’s game also started close with a scoreless first period. “Our first period was
horrible,” Homer coach Steve Nevak said. “We didn’t play well at all. It was just awful.” Nevak said the message to the team between periods was to dump the puck behind the Kenai net and work from the goal line out. “When we work from the goal line out, that’s when good things happen,” Nevak said. The Mariners scored three times in the second period, one goal by Alden Ross and two by Tyler Gilliland. Gilliland finished with a hat trick and two assists. Nevak said it’s no mistake that Gilliland piled up points in the game, because working from the goal line out takes
hard work, and Gilliland is a very hard worker. Kenai Central head coach Scott Shelden said that once Homer got some momentum, the Mariners were hard to stop. Homer lost 4-3 to Soldotna on Wednesday, but was able to shake that off. “They’re a good team,” Shelden said. “They were all over us. They have a lot of talent and a really good coach. They played well.” Nevak said his squad is finally getting into a groove after the holiday break. He added the Mariners felt some pressure Wednesday in front of the home crowd See top, Page B3

The Maine Nordiques swept the Kenai River Brown Bears on Friday and Saturday at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex to extend Kenai River’s North American Hockey League losing streak to seven games. The Bears drop to 22-132-3, good for 48 points and second place in the Midwest Division. The Fairbanks Ice Dogs lead with 59 points, while Chippewa is in third with 42 points. Maine improves to 17-222-0 and is in fifth place in the East Division. Isaiah Fox and the Maine Nordiques started slow Friday and got better and
better throughout the game. Fox scored the gamewinner with 3 minutes, 11 seconds, left in the fiveminute overtime period to give the Nordiques a 2-1 victory. Despite the result, Kenai River head coach Kevin Murdock said Friday was a step forward for his team after two tough weekends on the road after the holiday break. “Especially for the first half of the game, I thought we played pretty well,” Murdock said. “We did a good job generating chances and getting back to the way we’re capable of playing.” Maine goalie Wesley Mankowski did an equally good job stopping those

chances. Mankowski was picked up from the Minnesota Magicians after the Nordiques lost a goalie to the United States Hockey League. “He’s been a calming presence back there,” Nordiques head coach Nolan Howe said. Mankowski stopped 35 of 36, with the exception being a goal by Eagle River’s Brandon Lajoie, assisted by Peter Morgan, near the close of the
first period. Maine would equalize in the middle of the second when Ignat Belov threw a bad-angle shot at the net and it bounced off traffic and into the net. “The effort was there, but at the end of the day, we’re not getting the bounces we were in the first half when we were winning,” Murdock said. In the third period, Murdock said his team got a little tired and the Nordiques

“He’s a guy that does what it takes to win hockey games, whether that’s scoring, fighting or back-checking,” Howe said, adding that Fox kept battling after getting off to a slow start in the first period. Howe also spoke highly of the hospitality provided by the Bears. “For us to play in Alaska is an honor,” he said. “The people here have been great See BEARS, Page B4

There, Fox decided things by crashing the net from the side with a defender draped on his back, executing a wraparound to end the game.

The host Nikiski girls basketball team wrapped up a Rus Hitchcock Tip Off Tournament title Saturday by defeating the Dimond JV 49-9. Lillian Carstens, the tournament MVP, had 16 points to key the victory, while America Jeffreys pitched in 10. The Service girls finished second.

For Nikiski, Noah Litke, the tournament MVP, had 17. Both Nikiski basketball teams notched wins Friday against Anchorage teams in the tourney, but neither came easily. The Bulldogs girls eked out a 48-40 victory Friday
against Service. After a tight first quarter, Nikiski led 18-16 and widened its lead slightly to 34-27 by halftime. The Service girls came back with a strong defense in the second half, limiting Nikiski to six points and scoring five of their own. By the end of the third quarter, Nikiski held the lead with 39-33, and Service started out strong in fourth quarter, with Service’s Jana Domingono and Meriah Paweio scoring two layups in quick succession. But in the end, the Bulldogs maintained a defense strong enough to hold off the Cougars. In the last few seconds of the game, Nikiski’s Bailey Epperheimer hit two free throws to account for the final score. Girls coach Rustin Hitchcock said the girls came into the game hot but the Service girls made for a great game. “We really had to fight for our baskets here,” he said. See TIP, Page B2

Rose talks sign stealing LAS VEGAS (AP) — Pete Rose was taking a break from signing autographs at the MGM Grand hotel when asked a question he’s uniquely qualified to address. What’s worse, betting on baseball or cheating at baseball? “I don’t know,’’ Rose tells The Associated Press. “All I know is I’ve been suspended for 30 years now. I don’t know anybody that’s been suspended for 30 years.” It’s a fair point, especially when compared to the punishments handed out so far in the worst scandal to hit baseball since the steroid era. What Rose did was wrong — according to baseball rules — but there’s still a lot of people who believe he should be adding a Hall of Fame designation when he signs memorabilia in his adopted hometown of Las Vegas. Still, 30 years away from the game he was so great at seems like an awful long time, especially when Major League Baseball and other sports leagues have made their peace — and are doing business — with the bookies who post lines on their games. And face it. If you believe Rose on the details of what
he did — and that’s a stretch for some — his betting didn’t have nearly the impact on baseball than a cheating scheme that has brought into question the legitimacy of not just one, but two, World Series. “Which one is worse, stealing signs electronically, taking steroids or betting on baseball?” the all-time major league hit leader asked. All three are bad. But at least what I did never had anything to do with the outcome of the game.” The Astros cheating scandal, of course, is still new, at least publicly. A week ago, no one was questioning whether the Astros were really the 2017 champions or the Red Sox a year after that. Now it’s all in play, and the discussion is beginning to turn to how the sign scandal ranks with other scandals in baseball history. Pretty high up with each passing day, if only because there are few comparable scandals and two of them involve gambling. The Black Sox scandal of 1919 and Rose betting on baseball games from the dugout in Cincinnati are about the only ones that come close.

Nikiski’s America Jeffreys scored 11 points, with three 3-point shots. Lillian Carstens added 10, while Kayce Bostic had 12. While the Bulldog girls held a multiple-basket lead throughout their game, the boys played a much tighter game the South junior varsity. Multiple points in the game saw the score tied, with the teams trading baskets despite defensive strategies. Ultimately, Nikiski pulled off a 62-58 victory. Both teams started with aggressive offensive plays, trading baskets throughout most of the first quarter for a tied score at 18 moving into second quarter. Nikiski pushed for a lead in the second quarter, with Austin Stafford and Michael Eiter both scoring 3-pointers within the first few minutes of the quarter and drilling into South’s defense zone. It paid off, with Nikiski taking 14 points out of the second quarter to South’s eight, giving Niiski a lead of six points going into halftime. The Wolverines pushed back in the third quarter, with
South’s Christopher Fuller pulling off three baskets in quick sequence and a tight defense that caused several turnovers. By the end of the third quarter, the game stood tied at 42. With tensions high, the teams traded baskets through the fourth quarter, but Nikiski consistently kept a lead of a few baskets throughout. In the final few minutes, Nikiski’s Noah Litke hit key free throws, giving Nikiski a lead of 62-55. Even a final 3-point shot by South couldn’t make up the gap, and the game ended with Nikiski as the victors. “We showed that we’re willing to do difficult things under pressure,” said Nikiski coach Reid Kornstad. South brought a great game, and it was fun to have a back-and-forth competition, Kornstad said. Throughout, the boys showed strong teamwork, which Kornstad connected to the strong relationships between the players this year. Nikiski’s Eiter scored a total of 20 points during the game, while Litke scored 17, Staffored 13, and Michal Mysing 10. For South, Fuller scored 17 and Matt Ferreira scored 11. In the early games Friday,
the Houston girls toppled Dimond JV 56-13 and the West JV boys defeated Houston 64-59. In the early games Saturday, the Service girls topped Houston 49-34 and the Houston boys topped South JV 57-46. The Russ Hitchcock Tip Off Tournament, now in its 31st year, bears the name of a longtime Nikiski basketball coach — current varsity girls coach Rustin Hitchcock’s father. Rustin’s sister, Whitney Hitchcock, currently coaches the girls JV team at Nikiski. Despite near-zero temperatures this weekend, the games drew crowds of supporters, both students and community members, to pack the stands. “We feel very honored to have this named after him,” Rustin Hitchcock said. “(The turnout) really shows that the school is a staple in this community.” Reach Elizabeth Earl at elizabethearl@gmail.com.

McGregor KOs Cerrone LAS VEGAS (AP) — Conor McGregor came back with a big bang. McGregor stopped Donald Cerrone with a head kick and punches 40 seconds into the first round at UFC 246 on Saturday night, announcing his return to mixed martial arts with his first victory since 2016. The Irish former twodivision champion came out of a three-year stretch of relative inactivity and outside-the-cage troubles with a performance that echoed his greatest fights during his unparalleled rise. After bloodying Cerrone’s nose with his first punch, McGregor (22-4) then floored Cerrone (36-14) only 20 seconds into the bout with a perfectly placed left kick to the head. He mercilessly finished on the ground to the delight of a sellout crowd of 19,040 at T-Mobile Arena. “I feel really good, and I came out of here unscathed,” McGregor said. “I’m in shape. We’ve got work to do to get back to where I was.” McGregor’s hand hadn’t
been raised in victory since November 2016, when he stopped lightweight Eddie Alvarez to become the first fighter in UFC history to hold two championship belts simultaneously. With his fame and fortune multiplying, McGregor fought only his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather in 2017, and he lost a one-sided UFC bout to lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in late 2018. After a year spent out of competition and in repeated trouble with the law, McGregor got back into training and vowed to return to elite form. This dramatic victory over Cerrone indicated he’s well on his way, and McGregor has vowed to fight multiple times in 2020. Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and veteran brawler Jorge Masvidal watched UFC 246 from cageside. Either man could be McGregor’s next opponent. “Any one of these mouthy fools can get it,” McGregor yelled into the microphone. “Every single one of them can get it. It does not matter. I’m back and I’m ready.”

Shrine Bowl gives chance to shine ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Mission accomplished for Florida International’s James Morgan, Charlotte’s Benny LeMay and Navy’s Malcolm Perry in the East-West Shrine Bowl. The trio shined for the East in a 31-27 victory, with Morgan leading two firstquarter touchdown drives and LeMay rushing for a pair of TDs, including the game-winner. Perry took a direct snap from center and sprinted 52 yards for a TD on his only carry. “It was really a nice week,” said Morgan. “I just wanted to come in, work as hard I could, learn as much as possible and go out and compete. It was quite an experience.” LeMay and Perry, a quarterback in college who’s eyeing a pro career as a receiver, felt good about what they accomplished before scouts in town to evaluate prospects playing in the nation’s longest running college football allstar game. LeMay’s 9-yard TD run with just under two minutes remaining sealed offensive MVP honors for
the 5-foot-8, 216-pound running back, who finished with 80 yards on 16 carries. “The offensive line did a great job,” LeMay said. “It’s really nice to come out here and have a good game.” Morgan started at quarterback for the East and shared playing time with Princeton’s Kevin Davidson and Mississippi State’s Tommy Stevens, who led his team downfield for the winning TD after the West took a 27-24 lead on James Robinson’s 63-yard scoring run. Robinson, who rushed for 1,899 yards and 18 touchdowns for Illinois State this season, finished with 80 yards rushing on seven attempts. He gained an additional 56 yards on two receptions, one a 46-yarder that led to a field goal. Utah’s Tyler Huntley threw a 7-yard TD pass to San Diego State tight end Parker Houston and North Texas’ Mason Fine tossed a 36-yard scoring pass to Ohio State’s Binjimon Victor to help the West wipe out an early two-touchdown deficit and make it 17-all heading into the fourth quarter.
Landry, Scheffler break away at The Express LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) — Andrew Landry and Scottie Scheffler broke away Saturday at The American Express. Landry shot a 7-under 65 at PGA West’s Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course to join Scheffler atop the leaderboard at 21-under 195, four strokes ahead of third-place Rickie Fowler. Scheffler had a 66 on the adjacent Stadium Course, also the site of the final round Sunday. “It’s a tough course. It’s a good track,” Scheffler said. “If you’re not on your game, you can really struggle. There’s a lot of trouble out there, so you’ve got to hit a lot of quality shots to
keep the ball in play. Good test.” Fowler, tied with Scheffler for the second-round lead, overcame two front-nine bogeys to shoot 70 at the Stadium Course. At the event for the first time in six years, he played the Pete Dye-designed course for the time Saturday after only taking a quick scouting drive early in the week. “I was actually surprised by the green speed early on,” Fowler said. “They were a bit slower than what I’ve seen the last two days, so adjusting to that, really didn’t have anything go in early on until the ninth hole. But I thought I did a good job of hanging around, not getting too far behind.”

and it was a fun crowd. That makes it a great experience for these young men.” Murdock added that defensemen Connor Scahill and Anchorage’s Max Osborne played well in their first games with Kenai River. Saturday, Maine scored all three of the games’ thirdperiod goals in a 4-2 victory. Noah Kane got the Nordiques on the board with 3 minutes, 44 seconds, gone in the second period, but Lajoie equalized for the Bears with 13:51 left in the second. Logan Ritchie, assisted by Anchorage’s Max Helgeson, then put the Bears ahead. Goals by Casper Soderling and Trent Grimshaw had the Nordiques up with 6:25 left in the game, then Kevin Pitts finished things off with a goal with two seconds left. Fraga stopped 34 for the Bears, while Avery Sturtz stopped 36 for the Nordiques. The Bears host the New Mexico Ice Wolves on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at

No. 1 Gonzaga tops BYU for 12th straight victory By The Associated Press SPOKANE, Wash. — Killian Tillie had 22 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 1 Gonzaga beat BYU 92-69 on Saturday night for its 12th consecutive win. The Zags (20-1, 6-0 West Coast) stretched their home win streak to 34 in a row, tops in the county. Gonzaga closed out its sixth consecutive win against BYU without leading scorer Filip Petrusev, who went down hard early in the second half and was helped off the floor with what appeared to be a leg injury.
NO. 2 BAYLOR 75, OKLAHOMA STATE 68 STILLWATER, Okla. — Freddie Gillespie and Jared Butler each scored 17 points, and Baylor earned its 14th straight victory. Baylor (15-1, 5-0 Big 12) overcame a 12-point deficit in the last 14 minutes. Devonte Bandoo scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half.

FLORIDA 69, NO. 4 AUBURN 47 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida’s Omar Payne had the best game of his college career, finishing with 19
points and 11 rebounds. Payne, a freshman from Kissimmee, was widely considered an afterthought in Florida’s highly touted recruiting class. Against the Tigers, he looked like a future lottery pick.
DEPAUL 79, NO. 5 BUTLER 66 CHICAGO (AP) — Paul Reed scored 23 points on 8-of-9 shooting, leading DePaul to the victory. The Blue Demons (13-5, 1-4 Big East) knocked off a top-five team for the first time since beating No. 5 Kansas on Dec. 2, 2006.

Waste not, want not Make this the year you stop wasting food (and money) By Laurie McMullen NerdWallet
Who hasn’t felt the shame of a refrigerator purge? You’re sentenced to face the forgotten leftovers, fuzzy produce and yearsold salad dressing that you swear must have come with the fridge. But it didn’t. You paid money for all these things, and now you have to throw them away. Take heart. You’re far from the only person to waste food and money. And unlike more ambitious money fixes, reducing food waste is relatively simple and sure to pay off. In fact, a person could save about $370 annually on average by wasting less food, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. And a family of four could pocket an extra $1,500 or so on average in the new year. As if saving money doesn’t
feel good enough, reducing food waste also helps the planet. Most food we pitch winds up in landfills, which emit harmful methane gas. Less waste, less gas. Reducing wasted food also conserves energy and resources, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. So make this the year you don’t have to come eye-to-potatoeye with another decaying legume. Here’s how to waste less food:
Start with a fridge cleanout Get a “reality check” on what’s going to waste in your fridge, says Cassie Bartholomew, program manager at StopWaste, a public agency reducing waste in Alameda County, California. Remove and evaluate all items that are spoiled or inedible. Rather than feel bad about the waste, try to learn from
it. “Ask yourself, ‘Why am I tossing this food?’” she says. “Look at those root causes.” Did you buy an ingredient you never used? More planning before shopping could help. Did you forget about leftovers or produce that’s gone bad? StopWaste’s 10-Minute Fridge Reality Check recommends designating part of the fridge to food that’s quick to spoil. Label that section with an “Eat This First” sign. During your cleanout, you may realize some foods on death row still have some life in them. Foods past their “sell-by” or “use-by” dates may still be safe, and wilted produce could still be cooked. (More on that later.) While you’re in the fridge, Bartholomew recommends checking its temperature. A temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below will keep foods safe, according to the Food and Drug

Throwing away food is throwing away money. And with most wasted food winding up in landfills, it’s not great for the environment, either.
Administration, which recommends using a freestanding appliance thermometer. (You can find these in many stores and online for under $10.) Freezers should be at 0 degrees.
Plan before shopping Keeping tabs on your fridge and pantry or cupboards will help you buy less stuff that could go to waste. Before shopping,

Bartholomew recommends identifying which foods you already have and what meals you can make with them. (Potatoes and butter? Mashed potatoes it is — no need to buy those ingredients.) Then identify what you need to complete the dish. (Low on milk — add it to the shopping list.) Otherwise, it’s too easy to overspend on groceries by purchasing See waste, Page C2

LAS VEGAS — Tell your refrigerator about your dietary preferences and it’ll concoct a recipe plan for the coming week, sending a shopping list to your smartphone when it notices you’ve run out of the right ingredients. Counter-top robotic arms help chop veggies. Artificially intelligent oven cameras and internet-connected meat thermometers keep track of what’s cooking. And then — voila! — a stove-top camera can show off your culinary creations on Instagram. These are some of the new “smart kitchen”
tech features on display this week at the CES gadget show in Las Vegas. Appliance-makers are competing with one another to show off futuristic kitchen innovations they hope might resonate with younger consumers, knowing that once these appliances squeeze themselves into a home, they could stay for a while. Just don’t expect to get much help at your local Home Depot anytime soon. There’s also the challenge of getting consumers interested and keeping up with rapid changes in technology. “The problem is that refrigerators are 10-year devices,” said food technology analyst Michael Wolf, who hosts a podcast on smart kitchens. “The sales personnel haven’t really
John Locher / Associated Press
asked about smart features and consumers really aren’t asking for them.” That hasn’t stopped big appliance-makers like Samsung, LG Electronics, GE Appliances, Whirlpool and Bosch from trying to reinvent the kitchen around internet connectivity. Their mission: Appeal to consumers who are comfortable with smartphone apps. Target consumers include those looking to discover new step-by-step digital cooking instructions and consider themselves foodies even if they’re not necessarily expert chefs with a lot of free time.

ANCHORAGE — An Alaska company has taken pizza to new heights by providing airplane deliveries around the state. Papa Murphy’s in Anchorage flies hundreds of miles to deliver about 150 pizzas each week, Alaska Public Media reported Thursday. Owner Tyler Williams said the shop offers assembled pizzas for its Anchorage customers to take home to bake. The rest of the uncooked pies are flash-frozen for air delivery to customers throughout Alaska. “They get flown out frozen,” Williams said. “Once the customer gets them it takes two to three days, depending on weather. They defrost them, it takes just a couple hours on the counter.” The pizzas are not the type usually found in grocery store frozen food aisles. “All of our pizzas are made fresh in house, we grate our cheese every day, process our veggies every day, make our dough every day. So it’s all extremely fresh product that we make and we flash freeze them,” Williams said. The air deliveries began as a simple matter of supplying a demand. “We just had people calling us, asking us to bring pizzas to the airport and drop them off,” Williams said. Orders are shipped out frequently and travel as far as Prudhoe Bay at the top of the state, See waste, Page C2
Here’s where the nation’s most sedentary residents live By Steve Geimann Bloomberg News
Colorado, Utah and the nation’s capital have the fewest inactive residents while almost a third of people in the South are living a sedentary lifestyle, according to a study focused on the health benefits of exercise. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found more than 15% of adults in every state reported a shortage of physical activity, with Mississippi and Kentucky topping the list. “Too many adults are inactive, and they may not know how much
it affects their health,” said Ruth Petersen, director of the CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity. The CDC used data from annual surveys that asked more than 400,000 people to disclose how active they were in aerobic pursuits such as running, walking for exercise, or gardening. The study covered 2015 through 2018. Sedentary lifestyles add $117 billion to U.S. health-care costs annually and contribute to one in 10 premature deaths, the CDC said. The CDC says adults need at least 150 minutes of moderateintensity activity and two days of

muscle strengthening a week to achieve substantial health benefits. “Being physically active helps you sleep better, feel better and reduce your risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers,” Petersen said in a statement released with the research, which was presented as a map showing states with high and low activity levels. In a 2014 study, the CDC said 25.4% of Americans reported no physical activity, with Colorado the lowest on that measure and Mississippi the highest. The rankings were unchanged in the new study: Colorado showed the fewest

people with no physical activity (17.3%), and Mississippi the highest (33%). In seven states — Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Tennessee — 30% or more of all adults were physically inactive. Four states — Colorado, Washington, Utah and Oregon — plus the District of Columbia were at the other end, with less than 20% of the population inactive. By region, the South led the nation with 28% of residents lacking physical activity, followed by the Northeast at 25.6%, the Midwest at 25% and the West at

20.5%. The World Health Organization, using different data, in 2010 found that 23% of the global population isn’t active enough. In highincome countries, 26% of men and 35% of women were insufficiently active, higher than the inactive rate of 12% of men and 24% of women in low-income countries. The U.S. is pushing communities to make it easier for people to be less sedentary. The goal is to help 27 million Americans become more physically active by 2027. The CDC’s “Active People, Healthy Nation” initiative relies on partnerships with local cmsgommunities.

which would be a delivery of 855 miles by car. “Now we do several bush orders a week,” Williams said. “We work with several schools in Alaska and churches, stuff like that. We do big fundraisers.” Flying to remote parts of the state can be expensive, but Williams said Papa Murphy’s partners with airlines to minimize shipping costs. “Our profit per pizza is a little bit less,” Williams said. “But the fact that we’re shipping, because we’re covering the shipping cost in most cases, since we’re doing orders of 10 or more, there’s enough margin there to make it work.”

foods you may not need.
Store foods to last You bought the right groceries, now make sure they stay fresh. Google “how to store produce,” and you’ll learn that some foods should be refrigerated (kiwis, cucumbers), while others shouldn’t (bananas, avocados). And some fruits, like apples, release a gas that ripens other produce faster. Store leftovers and cooked foods so they stay safe and can be identified later. Bartholomew recommends clear, airtight containers with labels that state the food and when it was prepared or stored. That’s especially important for foods in the freezer, since you’ll likely toss ice-crusted artifacts with no origin story.
Use soon-to-be soiled food Check your fridge and freezer for foods on the brink of going bad, says Lindsay-Jean Hard, author of “Cooking with Scraps: Turn Your Peels, Cores, Rinds, and Stems into Delicious Meals.” Of course, she says, moldy or spoiled food is off-limits. (StillTasty. com provides guidance on shelf life and signs of unsafe foods.) But wilted vegetables are usually fine for cooking or throwing into a soup. Or roast them now, and freeze them for later, she says. For those last few slices of bread that are too stale to be appetizing, Hard suggests making them into bread crumbs or croutons. “Then you can add a lot of texture to different types of dishes, like salads or pasta,” she says. And just like that, you’ve removed bread from your next pantry purge.

Crafting for critters: Wildfires prompt global effort By Holly Ramer Associated Press
CONCORD, N.H. — Kyla Gill had never so much as touched a sewing machine or picked up a crochet hook two weeks ago. Now, she’s hooked on crafting for critters 10,000 miles away, to the point of temporarily putting aside her floor refinishing business in Pittsburgh. “I do hard labor, so I’m rough with my hands. Sewing, knitting — that’s just completely out of my realm,” she said. “But to go to work the next day knowing that there are animals and people suffering? I just pretty much wiped my schedule clean and put my projects on hold.” Hoping to help wildlife harmed in the Australian wildfires, thousands of crafters worldwide are churning out swaddling wraps for bats, hanging enclosures for kangaroos, and cozy pouches for wallabies and other animals. But confusion abounds about whether the items actually are needed or will be used. The Animal Rescue Craft Guild, based in Australia, and associated groups have told their members to pause work while they take stock of donated items. And some wildlife organizations say what they need most is money, not handmade goods. Monetary donations can help pay for enclosures and cages, medical supplies, specialized animal feed and other critical items as needs evolve over time, said Megan Davidson, CEO of Wildlife Victoria. “While we have been overwhelmed by the kindness of people wanting to donate items for wildlife, physical donations of clothes, knitted items and food are very difficult for relief agencies to sort through, distribute and store — especially during peak periods like the bushfire crisis we’re experiencing at the moment,” she said in an email. “It is so lovely that people care and want to help. The most practical way to help native animals in Victoria right now is by a direct donation to Wildlife Victoria.” The unprecedentedly fierce fires in southeast Australia have claimed the lives of at least 28 people since September, destroyed more than 2,600 homes and razed more than 10.3 million hectares, mostly in New South Wales state. The area burned is larger than the U.S. state of Indiana. With experts estimating the animal death toll

Grey-headed Flying Fox bats are prepared for a feeding Jan. 8at the Uralla, Australia, home of Maisey, a volunteer with Northern Tableands Wildlife Carers. The bats are swaddled in flannel wraps similar to those being made by thousands of crafters worldwide who are using their sewing, knitting and crocheting skills to make items for wildlife injured in the Australian brush fires. Some animal rescue groups, however, say monetary donations are needed more.
in the hundreds of millions, Australia’s federal government recently established a $50 million emergency fund for wildlife. Half of the money will go to front-line responder groups, with the other $25 million funding an advisory panel to analyze affected areas and plan for long-term habitat restoration. In the short term, however, kind-hearted crafters are eager to help. Much of the outpouring can be traced back to Anna Key, who gathered together a bunch of sewing, knitting and crochet patterns approved by wildlife rescue groups and posted them on Facebook on Jan. 4. Within a week, they had been viewed more than 17 million times, and multiple Facebook groups popped up to coordinate and collect donations. Key, who
lives in Yamba in New South Wales, said she was inspired by her mother, who was knitting animal pouches, and figured she could put her own skills in marketing to good use. She called the response to what she’s dubbed the #globalcraftmovement overwhelming, but said participants should not be discouraged. “Rescuing our Animals is a marathon, not a sprint — this will take months if not years to even try to recover from,” she said in an email. “We will still require crafts, just need to find out what is still needed first.” Key has heard from groups in Singapore, Portugal and Hong Kong who are making items, along with schools across the United States. In Lee, New Hampshire, 10-year-old Gibson Griffith organized an event at his church to sew dozens of bed liners for crates and cages. About 15 people donated fabric, and more than a dozen showed up to help make the liners. “It felt really good, and after the project, all of my volunteers that were there felt really good as well,” he said. In Haverhill, Massachusetts, Kimberly McCullough had cut fabric for about 50 pouches and was about to start sewing when the confusion erupted. “There were a lot of posts going around about stop-don’t-stop-stop-pause-keep-making-stuff, but we’re not shipping it,” she said. “So there was frustration about mixed messages, and then compounded with that, the disappointment, because everyone wants to help.” McCullough has reached out to local animal shelters to see if they could use the items. “It really opened my eyes to ways crafters can help other animal rescue organizations,” she said. “So, it felt better to realize, OK, I cut all this stuff out and maybe it’s not going to make it to Australia, but it might just make it to the Boston Animal Rescue League.” Similarly, Gill has no regrets about her efforts, which included staying up until 2 a.m. one night, getting to the fabric store before it opened the next morning, sewing more than 60 pouches with her partner and learning how to crochet bird nests. They’ve become online friends with a woman in Australia, who has invited them to stay with her next year. “It’s uplifting for her, and it made her feel better to see the humanity,” she said. “It makes me cry. It really touches me.”
St. Louis donations wipe away $13M in medical debt By Jim Salter Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Thousands of St. Louis-area families were freed from a major financial burden thanks to a charitable effort that is increasingly popular among churches and other organizations trying to help the needy — eliminating medical debt. Money raised at more than a dozen United Church of Christ congregations and a donation from the St. Louis-based Deaconess Foundation wiped away nearly $13 million in medical debt for 11,108 families in St. Louis city and county. United Church of Christ officials and civic leaders announced details Saturday. The church was also sending letters this weekend to those whose debt was wiped out. Rebecca Turner, a pastor in Maplewood, Missouri, said that

for many families, medical debt is “often so enormous that there is no way to repay it. Very often they lose their homes, their vehicles, their wages are garnished, and once that happens, it’s nearly impossible to get out of poverty. “It’s our prayer that for many of the families who receive this forgiveness of debt, it will be a fresh start,” Turner said. “We pray it gives them hope.” It is believed that more than 43 million Americans owe $75 billion in past-due medical debt. Hospitals and other health care organizations often write off bills deemed uncollectible, but they also sell the debt to collection agencies at a huge discount, often about 1 cent on the dollar. The collection agencies then make money by seeking payment from debtors who are often poor and lack adequate health insurance.

Thirteen United Church of Christ congregations raised $65,000 and the Deaconess Foundation, a UCC ministry that seeks to improve the health of the St. Louis-area needy, contributed $40,000. “We recognize access to health care is a persistent challenge for the 1 in 5 children living in poverty in the St. Louis region,” said the Rev. Starsky Wilson, CEO of the Deaconess Foundation. “Furthermore, medical debt is a drag on family stability and economic mobility for these families.” United Church of Christ performed a similar service in October in Chicago, using donations to

Samsung also emphasized an artificial intelligence-laden kitchen that could help plan meals and monitor nutrition.

As with all internetconnected home devices, some of them raise privacy and security concerns. The devices record audio and video as they listen for your cooking commands and watch from your stove-top or from behind the milk cartons. Hackers could spy inside homes if the apps or devices have security flaws, as many do. But even if appliance-makers are able to address those risks, some experts say they’re still focusing too much on what’s technologically possible and not on the improvements in the food experience that consumers might actually want. “It fits the old school

The Christian television network TCT, based in Marion, Illinois, wiped out about $2.5 million in medical debt from hundreds of families in southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. RIP Medical Debt spokesman Daniel Lempert said a $10 donation can buy and eliminate as much as $1,000 in delinquent debt. The organization has eliminated more than $1 billion in debt for more than 1 million beneficiaries, he said. Individual family debt forgiveness has ranged from $100 to more than $250,000, Lempert said.

way they’ve been thinking about this — that every year or two they update the physical models,” said Frank Gillett, a tech analyst for Forrester Research. “They’re not thinking in terms of outcomes, which are meals. How do you shift the thinking from delivering the best stove to giving people the meal experience they want to have?” Gillett predicts big structural changes in the food tech industry in the coming years. One far-out possibility: subscription services enabling consumers to commit to a favored supermarket, tech company or other provider. This company would deliver groceries and help run the appliances that work with its system. Wolf is not as excited by all these AI-enabled bells and whistles as he is about other
food tech innovations such as indoor hydroponics, the practice of growing plants without soil. A few big appliance-makers like LG are now experimenting with indoor gardening technology. Previously, the products were confined to startups like Indiana-based GroPod, which showed off a prototype that can sustain 60 plants that just need water and small nutrient pods. But none of these smart appliance features and hydroponic gadgetry have taken off with consumers as much as simpler kitchen tech innovations that sit on counters and don’t need internet connections. “Two counter-top appliances have become mainstream: Instant Pot and air fryers,” Wolf said. “Five years ago, no one was using those.”

January is Cervical Cancer Screening Month If found early, most cases of cervical cancer are treatable. The American Cancer Society has provided guidelines for screening “average-risk" women by age: All women should begin being screened at age 21. Women between the ages of 21 and 29 should have a Pap test every three years. For this age group, HPV testing is only used as a follow up for abnormal Pap results. Beginning at age 30, women should receive a combined Pap and HPV test every five years until age 65, OR a Pap test every three years.
If you or a loved one are facing a cancer diagnosis, we are here to help. For more information, call us at 907.262.7762, or visit PeninsulaRadiation.com.
For women aged 65 and over, testing is not recommended if there have been three consecutive negative Pap tests, or two negative HPV tests in the last 10 years, with the most recent test taken within the past five years. Women who have had a total hysterectomy (including removal of cervix) for reasons other than cancer or pre-cancer do not need to be tested. Women in higher risk categories, or with a history of pre-cancerous cells, may need to be screened more often. Talk to your primary care physician or your gynecologist about his/her recommendations.

How’d we get here? W
hen I was a kid watching Western movies, it amazed me that, as the stagecoach raced across the plains, trying to outrun the bandits or escape a raging prairie fire, the wheels always turned the wrong way. Big scene, long shot: The stagecoach is bouncing and rocking along a dirt trail, dust flying, horses running full out, the driver on top flicking a bullwhip over their heads to urge them on. Shotgun turning and firing at the fast-approaching bad guys who are shooting at the rocking coach. Interior shot: frightened passengers jostling roughly back and forth, trying to duck flying bullets. Actually, the forerunner to every car chase since. There hasn’t been a good old stagecoach-running Western since “Blazing Saddles.” The camera pans closer and closer. The stagecoach is winning but the wheels are turning backward! I was watching a car commercial
Virginia walters
Life in the Pedestrian Lane on TV the other evening, and guess what! The wheels turned backward. Here we are! It’s 2020 and no one in the past many, many years has figured out how to make those wheels turn in the right direction in a moving picture. Of all the things promised for 2020, you’d think someone would have thought of that! I used to read a lot of science fiction. Not the Bug-Eyed Monster stuff, but the speculative kind by Asimov and Heinlein, who both wrote about future societies and

how humans would act and react in the technological future. Asimov, in particular, predicted robotics and a future made easier by Artificial Intelligence. The 21st century was the focus in many stories, and some predictions by him and others came true or are on the verge. For instance, documents will be scanned and available through wireless transfer. The Fitbit was foretold as a gadget on our wrists to monitor our health. Self-driving cars are not yet a complete reality, but close. Even Alexa was predicted as a ‘personal companion’ robot. While some of these predictions may not be completely accomplished we have working examples and each year brings an advanced copy. Our reliance on technology is growing fast as more gadgets (think robotic vacuum cleaners) take over small jobs. But there were lots of predictions that didn’t come about, too:
the human foot will become one big toe; we will have personal helicopters, or flying cars; the letters C, X, and Q will disappear from our alphabet; everything will be made of steel (as opposed to plastic!); books will disappear; we will travel by teleportation. (I wish) Heinlein, on the other hand began his “Future History” novels in the ’30s. They encompassed life during the 21st through the 23rd centuries and focused on politics and religion and generally on the social interactions of humankind. After WWII, space exploration became the norm in his novels, perhaps the only aspect that has not yet come to pass in some form. (He had us on Mars in 2020.) With 20/20 hindsight (see what I did there?) one can say these authors were amazingly accurate in their assessments of how society would be in the 21st century. Apparently, 2020 had some significance to Nostradamus, also, who made several predictions for that (this) year, many of them dire. However, his predictions are always subject to interpretation and while some think he predicted the end of the world,
others say he predicted the birth of a new system and maybe an era of enlightenment. His predictions are a little vague and can be applied to any given time period, depending on the interpreter. However, Jeanne Dixon, the well-known seer who accurately predicted the assassination of JFK among other successful prophecies, predicted Armageddon in 2020, too. I think I prefer Asimov. So far, the biggest question surrounding the New Year is — is it the end of one decade or the beginning of the next? Technically, because there was not a year zero, the 10th year is the end of each numerical decade. But any 10 years can make a decade and we have a tendency to say ‘the Twenties” or ‘the Sixties” so I guess it’s whatever you want it to be. If you are obsessive, it’s the end of the second decade of the 21st century, but if you are just looking at the calendar and wondering how we got here so fast, it’s “My God! It’s 2020!” Happy New Year however you count it! Virginia can be contacted at vewalters@gci.net

Mini Fact:
Fantastic Lights

Auroras are usually made of blue-green light, although sometimes the light is pink, purple or red.
Magnetic field
The magnetic field is like a bubble surrounding the Earth. It turns the Earth into a giant magnet. The sun has its own magnetic bubble surrounding it. When the sun’s bubble is blown outward, it sends out a stream of electrically charged particles toward Earth. This blowing stream is called the solar wind.

The aurora light shows appear near both poles. Aurora borealis is Latin for “northern dawn.” In the south it is called aurora australis, or “southern dawn.” Few people get to see the aurora australis, however, because it usually shines above Antarctica. Auroras can be giant light shows stretching for

Polar aurora
When an aurora is seen from space, it often looks like a circle around one of the poles.
thousands of miles up and down the sky. The light usually appears near the horizon. The polar auroras may shine anywhere from 60 to 600 miles above the Earth.
Setting the stage
There are two main ingredients needed to make polar auroras: 1. the magnetic field around the Earth, and 2. the magnetic field around the sun. When something is magnetic, it is attracted to something else. A magnetic field is like an invisible force field surrounding a body such as a planet or the sun. Experts believe the Earth’s magnetic force field is created this way: • In the middle of the Earth there is iron rock. It is so hot that it is liquid. • The Earth rotates, moving the liquid iron around. • When the liquid iron moves, it creates electrical currents. • When the electrical current moves, it produces the magnetic field.
A solar production
Sometimes a big magnetic bubble is blown loose from the sun. The magnetic bubble can slam into the Earth’s atmosphere at a million miles per hour. When this hits the atmosphere, it creates waves in the Earth’s magnetic field. These waves hit charged particles already trapped in our magnetic field. These crashing particles create waves of light. If there is a lot of activity in the sun, the incoming bubble can squash the Earth’s magnetic field. Light from the aurora borealis can then be pushed south so the aurora is visible much farther from the North Pole.
image courtesy scijinks.gov
Imagine looking up and seeing bright, colorful streamers of light waving in the night sky. These waves of colored light in the north are called the aurora borealis (uh-ROAR-uh bore-ee-AH-lus), or the northern lights. If you live in or have visited the far north of America, in Alaska or Canada, you may have seen the aurora borealis during the dark winter nights. In the summer, the night sky is usually too light for the colors to stand out. People in northern countries such as Norway often see the northern lights. The farther south you are, the less likely you are to see them. But every once in a while, when conditions are right, people as far south as Los Angeles can see the glow of the aurora.

Let’s talk about air. On a clear breezy day, the air smells fresh and clean. Clean air is air that has no harmful levels of pollutants (dirt and chemicals) in it. Clean air is good for people to breathe. On a hot day with no wind, the air can feel heavy and have a bad smell. Once in a while, the air can even make your chest feel tight, or make you cough. When too much dirt and chemicals get into the air, the air is dirty or polluted. Dirty air is not good for people to breathe, and sometimes you can even see it: It looks brown and hazy. adapted from airnow.gov
For later: Look in your newspaper for reports about the northern lights being visible.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Jan. 17, 2020: This year, you will be more deliberate and reflective than in the recent past. You might finally be in the position to help manifest more of what you want. You will need to be deliberate when determining and pursuing your goals. If single, you might want to focus on dating. Several people you meet will be great companions. Be honest if you desire more. If attached, the two of you set some admirable goals. You are likely to succeed if you can discipline yourselves. SAGITTARIUS can annoy you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might be in the mood to break recent patterns that do not work for you. Invite a friend or head out by yourself for a drive so that you can focus on your thoughts and feelings. Tonight: Share how you feel with a friend. This Week: Decisions made before Wednesday could stick.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Others come toward you. Be responsive, but allow yourself to say no to an invitation or suggestion. You might want to make several important calls before making plans. Tonight: With a favorite person. This Week: Listen to a suggestion from someone in the know.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Clear out errands and other left over to-dos. Some of you might even decide to get a head start on your taxes. A loved one or dear friend might want a serious talk. Listen and understand where he or she is coming from. Tonight: Continue a chat over dinner. This Week: A relationship talk could be quite heavy.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
I’m sure questions will come up. My brother has PTSD from it, and talking about it right now is difficult for him. He’s in therapy and receiving help, but how can we dissuade potentially upsetting questions without things being weird? — PROTECTIVE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR PROTECTIVE: A way to accomplish it would be to have a private talk with your relatives before these events. Explain what happened and that your brother is receiving help but is in too much pain right now to answer any questions, which is why you prefer the subject not be mentioned. DEAR ABBY: I’m responding to “Not Just Mary, in the South” (Nov. 10), the lady whose name is Mary Lou but is continually called only Mary, even though
sudoku
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might be overly busy dealing with mail, paying bills or returning calls. You might even be lured out the door for a late brunch. Mull over some information before reacting. Tonight: Loosen up and relax. This Week: A child or loved one means what they say.
6 8
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might be inclined to either pay off your bills or see if you can indulge in a splurge. Many of you will go directly to the splurge. Deal with an older friend or relative. Tonight: Visit with friends or family over dinner. This Week: Pressure builds; you cannot change that.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You beam in more of what you want. Others seem to be easily convinced to join in on a great idea. Note that someone who has difficulty agreeing to the idea just wants to be flattered! Tonight: Order in. This Week: Decide to be more verbal about a problem.
she prefers being called by her full name. I had the same problem. My name is Mary Ann, but I was constantly called Mary, which I HATED. To solve the problem, I combined the names and started writing my name as one word — Maryann. Since then, I have never again been called Mary. By the way, when I also had to give the initial of my middle name, because the “A” was no longer available, I started using “B,” which is the first letter of my maiden name. Mary Lou should try this, and I hope it is as effective for her as it was for me. — MARY ANN IN TENNESSEE DEAR MARYANN: I’m printing your letter because it included the most frequently mentioned suggestion by other

Solution to last week’s Sudoku.

1/19
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH A friend or loved one might work hard to help you lighten up. You might want to explain that you want some peace and quiet or that you are going through a personal matter. Be flattered by this person’s attention. Tonight: Getting what you want. This Week: You could be more difficult than you realize.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH You might have to deal with a loved one who seems overly serious. Think carefully about how you would want to be treated if you were the other party. Follow through accordingly. Tonight: Understand another person’s moodiness. This Week: Be more direct with a loved one or partner.
HHHH You might not have a choice to do anything but make a must appearance. Whether social or professional, you could find that you like the interactions. Make some time to get together with friends too. Tonight: The party could go on and on. This Week: Say little for now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH You might enjoy some downtime at home. Many of you might consider following through on certain personal matters that you have been putting on the back burner, but allow some distraction to filter in too. Tonight: Letting go with a child or loved one. This Week: You might want to change your schedule.
HHHH Consider taking off for a few days to relax or get into a favorite sport. You do not need to justify the reason. A lot of people have cabin fever. A friend might need some time to discuss a serious matter. Tonight: Be available. This Week: If a friend becomes difficult, maintain your distance rather than challenge them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be away most of the day as you have personal matters you would like to handle. Once you have cleared much of what you wanted to accomplish, you plunge into the social scene. Tonight: Loving the moment. This Week: Be careful with money and any decisions you make.

If you have other friends and relatives where your children live, it’s likely you may be visiting that area occasionally, too. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I recently gained custody of my younger half-brother after a nasty legal battle with my father and stepmother. While we abhor what led to this, we are delighted my brother is in our home and our lives. With the exception of his parents, so is everyone else in our families. My brother will be coming with us to family gatherings that include my dad and stepmother. Most of the family is not privy to the circumstances that led to this situation, and

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I relocated to a warmer climate a few years ago, putting us more than 1,000 miles away from my adult children. The kids all seem to think this trip was just for fun, and continue to ask me to “come home.” All three of them are busy with their own well-rounded lives, and the last few years we were there, their visits became less frequent and shorter. We are now in a state that is much more economical than our home state, and our health and well-being have greatly improved. How do I let them know, once and for all, that I AM home? — LOVING THE SOUTHWEST DEAR LOVING THE SOUTHWEST: A way to let them know would be to explain that the move has been a

DEAR ABBY: My siblings and I have always enjoyed spending quality time together, and every eight to 10 weeks or so we get together for “Siblings Day.” There’s no set schedule or particular date; one of us will call the others and say, “I need some siblings time.” (There are five of us, all over 60.) Sometimes we meet at one of our homes and play board games or cards, or dance in the living room and enjoy the laughter that comes with it. It’s a time when we just enjoy being family. Our brother’s lady friend, a very nice person, has arrived, uninvited, the last three times we have gotten together. Talk about a party-pooper. We have explained, as graciously as we know how, that these times are very important to us. Our brother has asked her to please allow us this time for family, but she just laughs and says it’s silly for grown people to be so needy of each other. (She has six siblings who live close by and with whom she keeps in contact.) We all love each other and are

aware that life is truly short and that we are very lucky to still have this close bond when so many families do not. Can you suggest what we can do to make her understand what this time together means to us and that she is the ultimate uninvited guest? — JUST THE SIBS IN LOUISIANA DEAR SIBS: What gall! Your brother’s girlfriend does not have the right to judge your family spending time with one another as “silly.” It’s the height of rudeness. Please point out to him that her behavior is an important red flag for him to consider. The next time she drops by uninvited, your brother should put his foot down and not let her intrude. DEAR READERS: Today we remember the birthday of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who in 1968 was martyred in the cause of civil rights. In that time of insanity, his was a voice of reason when he eloquently preached, “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.”
Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Some people could find you determined right now, whereas others may provoke your hot temper — without intending to. Your energy is the driving force not only in your day but in others’ as well. Tonight: Let a friend share news.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You are known to be a conservative, practical sign. When confronted with someone who is
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Although you might be sure of your choices, a close associate has another response and will let you know. You have a choice to make. Understand that the other party is volatile. Tonight: Listen but do not react.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your energy will help you accomplish what you must. Do not be surprised if your frustration rises when dealing with someone who does not get it. Try alternatives and be willing to brainstorm with this person. Tonight: Choose your favorite form of relaxing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might have a lot on your plate. Nevertheless, someone could be quite contradictory and block your actions, no matter what your choices are. You burst with creativity and have the potential to find the right path anyway. Tonight: Choose a stress buster.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You rotate between
HHHH You tend to speak your mind but are so diplomatic in your word choice that people often do not get the essence of what you are saying. Your clarity will come from verbalizing your thoughts in multiple ways. Tonight: Enjoy some munchies with a friend.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A friend who you find a bit demanding could play an active role in your day. Even if you want to yell and scream, opt for a more diplomatic approach. Someone might be observing your behavior at work. Tonight: You need some rest.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) HHHH You know when you are on top of your game. You could be considered a risk-taker, especially involving money. If you can, hold off on an expenditure for a few days until you are more centered. Try not to lose your temper. Tonight: As you like it.
PRE-WASH SPRAY

Rubes | Leigh Rubin
HHHH Generally, your emphasis is on the whole and not the individual. As a result, others gravitate toward you. You might not be as responsive as others to specific requests. Be careful how you verbalize “no.” Tonight: You are the action.
HHH If you are feeling frustration, your self-discipline may fall away and cause you to go to excess. Whether you are looking at a spending spree or overindulging in some other way makes no difference. Tonight: Order in.
Dear Readers: Here are some additional uses for safety pins: * Pin socks together before washing so pairs stay together. * Pin a scarf to the back of a coat collar so it stays in place. * Use to keep skirt hems up in an emergency. * Pin gloves to a child’s sleeve so they won’t get lost. — Heloise Dear Heloise: You had a pre-wash mixture that worked well, but I’ve lost the instructions. Would you reprint that for me? — Kate W., Reno, Nev. Kate, you’ll need to mix equal parts water, household ammonia and dishwashing (not “dishwasher”) liquid. Put the mixture into a clean spray bottle. Be sure to label it, and keep it away

from children and pets. Once you apply this to a stain, wash the garment immediately. This pre-wash recipe is included in my Heloise’s Handy Stain Guide for Clothing. If you would like a copy, send $5, along with a long, stamped (70 cents), self-addressed envelope, to: Heloise/ Stain Guide, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Or you can order it online at www. Heloise.com. FYI: When using a spray-type laundry stain remover, turn the stained item inside out and spray the stain from the “wrong” side. — Heloise Dear Heloise: Every year I get lots of address labels from various charities, and I use them in a number of ways. They go on the back of my phone, in books I lend to friends, on my address book and on platters I take to potluck dinners. This has made it easy for people to return things to me. — Claire U., McPherson, Kan.
Monday’s answer, 1-13
HHHH You have expressed exactly what is on your mind. If someone does not get it, it is not your fault. Do not feel burdened with strong feelings, as this could be the result. Try to clear the air. Tonight: Play it by ear.

This year, your strong sense of direction and morality leads you. You have a unique ability to diversify and find the right path. You will succeed if you are in tune with your feelings. If single, you will date and meet someone special; however, if you run across a person who is emotionally unavailable, pull back. If attached, your relationship will benefit from time away together. You will add to the cement that bonds you during these periods. SAGITTARIUS can be a gossip! The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
