KPC to shut down dorm this summer

By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

Residence hall operations will pause after the semester ends at Kenai Peninsula College’s Kenai River Campus.

The one-year hiatus will begin June 30, the college announced in a Tuesday press release, giving administration time to determine how the

campus can move forward in the future.

The residence hall was built in 2013 and student occupancy has decreased.

Budget cuts to the University of Alaska system creates less faith in the university, driving down enrollment, Gary Turner, director of Kenai Peninsula College, told the Clarion Tuesday via email. The college has seen more

students taking online courses and fewer students attending face-to-face classes at the Kenai River Campus.

As the University continues to address major budget reductions and increase enrollments, it is important to look at all programming and evaluate its impact on the university’s core mission of educating students, Turner said in Tuesday’s release.

Since 2016, the 92-bed hall has

been unable to keep the 55 to 60 students needed to break even on the costs of running the residency operation. During last fall there were 21 residents housed on the campus, and 26 residents last spring.

There are 15 students living on campus this semester.

First day fireworks for House; power shift in Senate?

Suspect sentenced for possessing firearms ANCHORAGE — An Anchorage man facing state murder and kidnapping charges has been sentenced to four years in prison on a federal gun count.

Iosia Fiso, 25, pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and was sentenced Friday to the four-year prison term followed by three years of supervised release, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.

Fiso is one of three men charged with seconddegree murder and kidnapping in the death of an Anchorage man in January 2019. Steven John, 36, was found dead at an apartment on west 34th Avenue. A state medical examiner’s autopsy concluded John died of trauma to the body.

Fiso and two co-defendants were arrested in June. Fiso’s attorney did not immediately respond Tuesday to a request for comment on the state charges.

Anchorage police while investigating a Jan. 9, 2019, shooting in midtown Anchorage found a scope on a rifle that bore Fiso’s fingerprint, prosecutors said. A day later, police contacted Fiso and found three more of his guns in his girlfriend’s vehicle.

Fiso previously had two state felony convictions for weapons misconduct and hindering prosecution, which made it illegal for him to possess firearms.

was made upon consideration of the group’s filing. The decision states that the matter is stayed pending resolution of the case in the Alaska Supreme Court.

Claire Pywell, campaign manager for the Recall Dunleavy group, said Tuesday’s decision “does not impact the merits of his primary ruling

Some first-day fireworks set the Alaska House of Representatives alight Tuesday to open the 31st Alaska State Legislature. Meanwhile, the Alaska Senate opened their session with an apparent shift in power.

In the House, objections to a committee assignment and a journal entry provided much of the early action on the first day of the legislative session.

Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux’s, R-Anchorage, assignment to the Joint Armed Services committee drew an objection and several comments before ultimately being OK’d. The crux of the objection was that a veteran should have filled the seat vacated by former Rep. and current Sen. Josh Revak, R-Anchorage, an Army veteran.

Revak was appointed to fill the seat left behind by the late Sen. Chris Birch, R-Anchorage.

“I think a veteran should be assigned to that seat,” said Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski.

Rep. Laddie Shaw, R-Anchorage, a former Navy SEAL, said a veteran would add value to the committee, benefit the state and veterans specifically.

Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, also spoke in favor of appointing one of the six veterans in the House to the committee.

“The idea that you need to be a veteran to support veterans is foreign to me,” said Louise Stutes, R-Kodiak.

That sentiment prevailed after a 23-15 vote. The Committee on Committee’s report and committee assignments were approved.

Over at the Senate, things started slowly as senators didn’t gavel in until 4 p.m.

“The governor has been informed the Senate is ready for business,” Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, told the body after returning from notifying

McConnell backs off, abruptly eases some Trump trial rules

By Lisa Mascaro and Zeke Miller Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate plunged into President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial on Tuesday with Republicans abruptly abandoning plans to cram opening arguments into two late-night sessions and Democrats arguing for more witnesses to expose Trump’s “trifecta” of offenses.

The turn of events was a setback for Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell and the president’s legal team, exposing a crack in the GOP ranks and the growing political

unease over the historic impeachment proceedings unfolding amid a watchful public in an election year.

Chief Justice John Roberts gaveled open the session, with House prosecutors on one side, Trump’s team on the other, in the well of the Senate, as senators sat silently at their desks, under oath to do “impartial justice.”

No cellphones or other electronics were allowed.

Opening day stretched deep into the night. Senators remained as the clock passed 9:30 p.m., while Democrats pursued what may be their only chance to force senators to vote on hearing new testimony.

However, Republicans turned

back Democratic amendments to subpoena documents from the White House, State Department and budget office, with more votes expected rejecting key witnesses with a frontrow seat to Trump’s actions. By the same 53-47 party-line vote, senators turned aside the Democrats request to subpoena acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

McConnell stunned senators and delayed the start of proceedings with his decision to back off some of his proposed rules. Republicans were said to be concerned over the political optics of “dark of night” sessions.

Judge halts enforcement of decision in Alaska recall case

By Becky Bohrer Associated Press

JUNEAU — A state court judge on Tuesday put on hold a decision that would have allowed supporters of an effort to recall Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy to begin a new signaturegathering phase.

Earlier this month, Superior Court Judge Eric Aarseth in Anchorage

said petitions should be issued by Feb. 10, unless that date is stayed by the Alaska Supreme Court. At that time, he said he “does not intend on granting a stay of that process.”

Aarseth’s order Tuesday followed recent written arguments by Stand Tall With Mike, a group opposing the recall. The order did not go into detail for the judge’s reasoning in granting a stay but said the decision

Honored educactor strives to connect with kids “Trust them and allow them to grow,” says Meredith McCullough, a language arts teacher at Kenai Central High.

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

A local high school teacher was recently recognized as Educator of the Year by a national scholarly organization for her ability to connect with students while making classical literature relatable.

Meredith McCullough, a language arts teacher at Kenai Central High School, was chosen last August as one of 10 recipients of the 2019 Claes Nobel Educators of the Year. The award is given each year through the National Society of High School Scholars, which is an organization focused on

helping high school students achieve their academic goals.

McCullough said that she was nominated by a former student who is a Meredith member of NSHSS, McCullough and after being selected as one of the finalists last summer McCullough was asked to write an essay about her philosophy and approach to education.

“For me, it’s valuable as an English teacher to teach grammar and spelling and literature, but the more important things are to help students become humans, and good humans, preferably,” McCullough said. “That we can give them the tools that they need to survive in the adult world and that we trust them and allow them to grow.”

Alaska Native woman, 90, is 1st counted

By Mark Thiessen Associated Press

TOKSOOK BAY — Lizzie Chimiugak has lived for 90 years in the windswept western wilds of Alaska, born to a nomadic family who lived in mud homes and followed where the good hunting and fishing led.

Her home now is an outpost on the Bering Sea, Toksook Bay, and on Tuesday she became the first person counted in the U.S. Census, taken every 10 years to apportion representation in Congress and federal money.

“Elders that were before me, if they didn’t die too early, I wouldn’t have been the first person counted,” Lizzie Chimiugak said, speaking Yup’ik language of Yugtun, with family members serving as interpreters. “Right now, they’re considering me as an elder, and they’re asking me questions I’m trying my best to give answers to, or to talk about what it means to be an elder.”

The decennial U.S. census has started in rural Alaska, out of tradition and necessity, ever since the U.S. purchased the territory from Russia in 1867. The ground is still frozen, which allows easier access before the spring melt makes many areas inaccessible to travel and residents scatter to subsistence hunting and fishing grounds.

The mail service is spotty in rural Alaska and the internet connectivity unreliable, which makes door-to-door surveying important.

The rest of the nation, including more urban areas of Alaska, begin the census in mid-March.

On Tuesday, Steven Dillingham, director of the census bureau, conducted the first interview after riding on the back of a snowmobile from the airport to Chimiugak’s home.

“The 2020 Census has begun,” he told reporters after conducting the first interview with Chimiugak, a process that lasted about five minutes. “Toksook Bay isn’t the easiest place to get to, and

the temperature is cold. And while people are in the village, we want to make sure everyone is counted.”

Dillingham was hours late getting to Toksook Bay because weather delayed his flight from the hub community of Bethel, about 115 miles away. Conditions didn’t improve, and he spent only about an hour in the community before being rushed back to the airport.

After the count, a celebration took place at Nelson Island School and included the Nelson Island High School Dancers, an Alaska Native drum and dance group.

Later, the community took over the commons area of the high school with a potluck of Alaska Native foods, including seal, moose and goose soups, herring roe served with seal oil and baked salmon.

Robert Pitka, tribal administrator for Nunakauyak Traditional Council, hopes the takeaway message for the rest of the nation is of Yup’ik pride.

“We are Yup’ik people and that the world will see that we are very strong in our culture and our traditions and that our Yup’ik language is very strong,” he said.

For Chimiugak, she has concerns about climate change and what it might do to future generations of subsistence hunters and fishers in the community, and what it will do to the fish and animals. She talked about it with others at the celebration.

“She’s sad about the future,” he eldest son Paul said.

Chimiugak was born just after the start of the Great Depression in the middle of nowhere in western Alaska, her daughter Katie Schwartz of Springfield, Missouri, said.

Lizzie was one of 10 siblings born to her parents, who lived a nomadic lifestyle and traveled with two or three other families that would migrate together, her son said.

Lizzie and her 101-year-old sister from Nightmute, Alaska, survive.

In 1947 Lizzie married George Chimiugak, and they eventually settled in Toksook

Lizzie Chimiugak looks on at her home Monday in Toksook Bay. Chimiugak turned 90 years old Monday and was the first person counted in the 2020 U.S. Census on Tuesday.

Bay after the town was founded in 1964 by residents of nearby Nightmute. There are five surviving children.

He worked maintenance at the airport. She did janitorial work at the old medical clinic and babysat.

Like other wives, she cleaned fish, tanned hides and even rendered seal oil after her husband came home from fishing or hunting. Her husband died about 30 years ago.

She is also a woman of strong Catholic faith, and told her son that she saved his life by praying over him after he contracted polio.

For her own hobbies, she weaved baskets from grass and remains a member of the Alaska Native dance group that performed Tuesday. She dances in her wheelchair.

She taught children manners and responsibility and continued the oral tradition of telling them stories with a storyknife.

Chimiugak used a knife in the mud to illustrate her stories to schoolchildren.

She drew figures for people or homes. At the end of the story, she’d use the knife to wipe away the pictures and start the next story with a clean slate of mud.

“She’s a great teacher, you know, giving us reminders of how we’re supposed to be, taking care of subsistence and taking care of our family and respecting our parents,” her granddaughter Alice Tulik said. “That’s how she would give us advice.”

Shirley Fritz

Longtime resident of Kenai Peninsula, Shirley Fritz, passed away on November 16, 2019, after bravely fighting a 2-year battle with cancer. Shirley was raised on a dairy farm in Gresham, OR where she learned to love the outdoors, animals, nature, hard work, and adventure.

She attended college in Fairbanks and fell in love with Alaska. While working at Alaska Native Hospital she met and married Grant Fritz in 1958. They moved to Grant’s homestead in Kasilof, Alaska. Together they raised three daughters, built a commercial fishing business, and integrated into the Kasilof community. Fishing took Shirley from Kodiak, Sitka, Homer, Prince William Sound, Togiak, always accompanying Grant chasing salmon, herring, crab, and halibut serving as cook and deck hand. Shirley loved fall hunting trips after fishing seasons wrapped up, often taking horses to the ridge above Tustumena lake.

Shirley loved all of her adventures but her true outdoor love was always gardening - mastering everything from vegetable gardens, flowers, apple and cherry trees - even venturing into raising bees along with all types of pets.

She loved to travel, spending time at her Halibut Cove home, downhill and cross-country skiing, long walks, horseback riding, attending sporting events of all her grandchildren, and hosting large gatherings with family and friends.

Shirley was gracious and kind, opening her home to many over the years. She leaves a legacy of deep faith in God and the message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Mildred Karlen; father, Ernest Karlen; step-Father, Dick Nielsen and sister, Patricia Baldridge.

She is survived by her husband Grant, daughters Marina (Gregg Bosick), Katie (Dave Blossom), and Julie (Joe McElroy), grandchildren (Molly, Gregory, Garrett, David, Grant, Rachel, Daniel, Claire, Sam, and Grace), and great-grandchildren (Brock, Colt, Grant, Benjamin, Gabriel, Hannah, + 1 on the way).

rural students, as well as students from outside the peninsula and out of state, Turner told the Clarion Tuesday via email.

The college advertises its residence hall through their social media accounts, website and through tours and overnight stays offered to area high school students, he said in the email.

The Kenai Peninsula College is under the larger institution of the University of Alaska, which dictates through Board of Regent policy that residence halls are considered auxiliary units and must be self-sustainable.

informed that she had been named Educator of the Year along with nine other teachers around the country and received a $1,000 grant that she used to update the classroom library and purchase other miscellaneous supplies.

McCullough said that teaching English in particular has allowed her to engage in broader discussions with her students without having to stick to a narrowly defined curriculum. For McCullough, the ability to have those discussions starts with being able to connect to students on a personal level.

“I get to know my students as well as I can and as well as they’ll allow me,” McCullough said. “I think that’s kind of the building block; you have to have a relationship with them, because if they don’t trust you, they’re not going to talk about difficult subjects.”

McCullough used the novel “The Great Gatsby”

by F. Scott Fitzgerald as an example of how she gets her students to connect with

literature that may seem antiquated or irrelevant.

“We talk about things like Daisy Buchanan, who is this traditional literary villain that everyone hates at the end because of what she does to Gatsby and Tom and her marriage,” McCullough said. “But we talk about, you know, within the historical context, what were the roles for women in the 1920s?

What were the divorce laws? What were the child laws? What do you do with a marriage? How do you support your family?

“And then we bring it back down to this level about, OK, but she’s also in an abusive relationship, with alcohol abuse on both sides from her and her husband, and those are the hooks that really get them because we’re in Alaska. We have huge rates of abuse and alcoholism. The kids are familiar with that and they recognize things and they’re able to pull in personal connections to the book, and all of a sudden you aren’t just reading this old text from the 1920s.”

McCullough specifically mentioned that she advocates for students who are members of the LGBTQ community and defends their right to be acknowledged for who they are.

“It may make you uncomfortable, but at the end of the day, that is another human being and you have to treat them with the respect that they deserve,” McCullough said. “And I think that that is going to continue to cause a lot of conflict, because I will not budge on that.”

What others say

Paying NCAA athletes raises concerns

N

ow that the NCAA has crowned the college football champion a few things will happen.

First, fans will be treated to rampant speculation about which underclassmen will enter the NFL draft.

Secondly, many fans and sports journalists will redirect their attention toward basketball, specifically of the men’s variety, as we draw closer to March Madness. That, too, also will generate buzz as to which talented non-seniors will declare for the NBA draft.

In addition, we will probably see a renewal of the debate over whether college athletes should be paid, as Florida lawmakers are now discussing.

California ratcheted that up in late October by passing a law permitting college athletes to be paid beginning in 2023. The NCAA’s Board of Governors followed suit. The panel voted unanimously to authorize directors of the NCAA’s three sports divisions to craft rules so that athletes could, as CNBC reported, “profit off of their name, image and likeness.”

That income most likely would come through advertising, including for using likenesses of athletes in video games.

Last month Saint Leo University in neighboring Pasco County polled 1,000 people on this issue and found: 45.5% believe athletes should be able to profit, while 32.1% disagreed, saying scholarships sufficed. The rest were unsure or didn’t know enough about the issue.

Support for payments was strongest — topping 55% in each category —among minorities, people under 35 and Democrats.

Count us among the naysayers.

The NCAA and its member colleges bank tremendous amounts of money because of these young athletes. And that pays dividends in other, less publicized ways. For instance, that revenue allows colleges to fund scholarships for gifted, impoverished students who are not athletes, giving them the opportunity to pursue the dream of higher education.

And we understand the arguments that many others aside from the athletes themselves profit from their abilities, and that they are also college kids who want to do the same things as their peers, but are restricted from earning money because of NCAA rules.

But problems will arise. First, a popular, telegenic player like LSU’s Heisman-winning quarterback Joe Burrow could already earn big bucks rivaling some pros with endorsements. But what about, as the late, legendary sportscaster Keith Jackson referred to them, the “big uglies” on the line who block for Burrow? Or LSU’s third-string quarterback?

Or athletes in other sports? They’d be allowed to “profit.”

But who would pay them?

Yet to us the main point is that this will open the door to further hypocrisy, on the NCAA’s part, that many of these athletes are students first. We already know that blue-chip recruits who head to top basketball factories to major in “one and done” — meaning the college game is a brief, one-season stop en route to the NBA. College football is not far behind — with more players seeking the draft as soon as they become eligible before their senior year.

Unfortunately, the NCAA won’t force the pros into a position to do it. It will continue the mirage of the “scholarathlete” until, as will inevitably occur, the first big pay-forplay scandal blows up in its face.

— The (Lakeland) Ledger, Jan. 14

letter to the editor

Thank you for standing against hate crimes I wanted to take a moment to thank the Soldotna City Council for taking up a resolution to support House Bill 198. HB 198 is the legislation submitted by Andy Josephson and Grier Hopkins that would add sexual orientation and gender identity as aggravators to Alaska’s current violent crime laws. Currently, sexual orientation and gender identity are not included as aggravators.

This has a lot of personal meaning to me as someone who has been a recent victim of violence because of my sexual orientation. My inclination after the assault was to run and hide, and I still feel this way much of the time. However, the outpouring of support that has come from the community, community leaders and others across Alaska has shown me that I am not alone and knowing I am not alone is the difference between me running and hiding or me standing and fighting.

Because sexual orientation is not covered by a hate crime law in Alaska, the FBI has stepped in after finding that my case rises to the level of a federal hate crime. HB 198 will bring Alaska’s laws closer to the federal standard and give Alaska’s communities more tools to fight hate related to sexual orientation and gender identity.

Soldotna is the first city to take formal measures to support HB 198. I truly appreciate the courage and initiative of the Soldotna City Council to stand up for LGBTQ citizens across the state. There is a lot of hope that other cities, municipalities, tribes and boroughs will take up similar resolutions to help support the passage of HB 198.

I would also like to thank Gary Knopp for his support of HB 198 and to everyone else who is working hard make HB 198 law.

— Tammie Willis Soldotna

T

en years ago on this day, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in the controversial Citizens United case. In the 5-4 decision, five Supreme Court justices decided spending to elect our representatives was a form of protected “free speech” that could not be restricted.

This decision, by a bare majority of the court, meant that corporations, individuals, political action groups and entities such as industry trade groups and labor unions could give money to influence elections without restraint or restriction. Corporations and entities, incapable of “speech” in the normal human meaning of the term but loaded with cash, could spend without limits and skew elections toward their institutional desires.

This decision deviated from longstanding precedent, and trampled the campaign finance restrictions that states across the country, including Alaska, had settled on to impose limitations on campaign donations.

Before the Citizens United decision, Alaska had a long-standing and wellfounded set of laws that had carefully limited campaign donations for decades, until it was blasted into oblivion by five unelected justices sitting in Washington, D.C. Alaskans’ agreement to conduct our elections with sensible limitations on campaign financing no longer mattered. The court substituted a new one-size-fits-all standard for political donations, ignoring local laws and replacing sound standards with rules that allowed unfettered donations by anyone at any time.

The results of the Citizens United decision were immediate, spectacular

and damaging. Citizens United unleashed a torrent of spending by special interest groups. Political campaigns were flooded with money from elite individuals and special interest organizations with a vested interest in political outcomes.

A weird sort of Wild West for campaign financing sprang up. An entire new set of murky political action committees (PACs) came into being that enabled unknown individuals and entities to donate so-called “dark money” to candidates without any disclosure of who was providing the funds.

The massive unrestricted infusion of money into our political system by individuals, corporations and PACs that resulted from the Citizens United case has had an obvious corrosive impact on our politics. Money now dominates political campaigns. Your individual vote and the votes of other Americans are diluted in a sea of cash provided to campaigns by billionaires and corporations.

The old state-by-state restrictions on campaign donations resulted in a political system where the votes of individuals mattered. Campaigns in the past required candidates to gather facts and address voter concerns with a strategy to achieve results. After Citizens United, facts went to the wayside as dark-money donors flooded media markets with emotionally charged advertisements appealing to narrow political identities, often based in fear and anger.

Ten years of unfettered campaign spending in America is long enough to conclude that our political system, where money now dominates, is broken. We are, as a nation and as a

people, worn out from negative political campaigns in which cash trumps votes, facts and honest civil discourse.

The task at hand is what to do about the unprecedented Citizens United decision foisted off on the nation by five unelected justices. How can we reclaim our nation from the clutches of corporations and billionaires with cash to burn and return campaign spending regulation to the individual states where it belongs?

Citizens United could be overturned by the Supreme Court, an event not likely to occur anytime soon. Or we the people can amend our country’s constitution by redefining what every average American knows — that cash isn’t speech in the political context.

Citizens around the country are coming together to amend the United States Constitution and overturn Citizens United. So far 20 states have formally called on Congress to pass the proposed 28th amendment that would return election financing control to each state, a sure sign the public wants local control of their elections, instead of control by corporations.

Amending our constitution requires a cross-partisan effort. Individuals from both major political parties and others unaffiliated with any political party have joined to put a stop to elections overwhelmed by money. Alaskans, act now by asking your elected officials to adopt a resolution calling on Congress to enact the 28th Amendment and return sensible local control of our elections to the people.

In reversal, Clinton says she’d back Sanders if he’s nominee

By Will Weissert Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In an abrupt about-face, Hillary Clinton said Tuesday night that she would endorse her 2016 rival Bernie Sanders if he wins the Democratic nomination to face President Donald Trump in November.

The former secretary of state had earlier refused to say whether she would endorse Sanders in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Tuesday, instead telling the outlet: “I’m not going to go there yet.” She had also offered a broad condemnation of the progressive candidate’s style of politics.

“I thought everyone wanted my authentic, unvarnished views!” Clinton tweeted Tuesday night. “But, to be serious, the number one priority for our country and world is retiring Trump, and, as I always have, I will do whatever I can to support our nominee.”

Her initial comments ripped open the scars of the brutal 2016 primary battle between Sanders and Clinton just as Democrats are poised to begin voting on their next nominee. Sanders’ loyalists believed the Democratic establishment had rigged the primary in favor of Clinton, who won the nomination but ended up losing

the general election to Trump.

For her part, Clinton wrote in her memoir “What Happened” after her 2016 defeat that she felt some of Sanders’ criticism of her had helped propel Trump to victory, and she begrudged Sanders for not backing her campaign quickly enough after she sewed up the nomination. In The Hollywood Reporter interview, she accused Sanders of fostering a toxic culture in his campaign.

“We’re still in a very vigorous primary season. I will say, however, that it’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team,” Clinton had said. Then, referring to a cadre of aggressive, online Sanders backers, she continued: “It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women.”

Sanders, like other senators who are running for president, was in Washington on Tuesday to participate in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. He refused to comment on Clinton’s critical comments, saying only in a statement, ” Together, we are going to go forward and defeat the most dangerous president in American history.”

Even before Clinton’s evening tweet, her aides had sought to minimize any fallout from her comments.

Nick Merrill, Clinton’s spokesman, tweeted that “we all need to work our heart out for the nominee, whoever that is, and @HillaryClinton, as usual, won’t be any exception.”

Still, the lingering tension between Clinton and Sanders is evident. In the interview, Clinton was asked about comments she makes in an upcoming documentary in which she says Sanders has been in Congress for years but “nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done.” Asked if that assessment still holds, she said “yes.”

Clinton’s accusations that Sanders fostered a culture of sexism in politics are especially sensitive now given that Sanders’ top progressive rival in the 2020 race, Warren, has accused him of privately telling her a woman couldn’t win the White House.

Sanders has denied that, but Warren refused to shake his outstretched hand after a debate last week in Iowa and both candidates accused the other of calling them “a liar.”

Warren has steadfastly declined to comment further, but the 78-yearold Sanders said Sunday that while sexism was a problem for candidates, so were other factors, like advanced age — touching off another round of controversy.

Washington man is 1st in U.S. to catch new virus

By Carla K. Johnson and Mike Stobbe Associated Press

SEATTLE — The U.S. on Tuesday reported its first case of a new and potentially deadly virus circulating in China, saying a Washington state resident who returned last week from the outbreak’s epicenter was hospitalized near Seattle.

The man, identified as a Snohomish County resident is in his 30s, was in good condition and wasn’t considered a threat to medical staff or the public, health officials said.

U.S. officials stressed that they believe the virus’ overall risk to the American public remained low.

“This is not a moment of high anxiety,” Gov. Jay Inslee said.

The newly discovered virus has infected about 300 people, all of whom had been in China, and killed six. The virus can cause coughing, fever, breathing difficulty and pneumonia. The U.S. joins a growing list of places outside mainland China reporting cases, following Thailand, Japan, South Korea

and Taiwan.

Airports around the world have stepped up monitoring, checking passengers from China for signs of illness in hopes of containing the virus during the busy Lunar New Year travel season.

Late last week, U.S. health officials began screening passengers from Wuhan in central China, where the outbreak began. The screening had been underway at three U.S. airports — New York City’s Kennedy airport and the Los Angeles and San Francisco airports.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced it would add Chicago’s O’Hare airport and Atlanta’s airport to the mix later this week.

What’s more, officials also will begin forcing all passengers from Wuhan to go to one of those five airports if they wish to enter the U.S. The hospitalized U.S. resident had no symptoms when he arrived at the Seattle-Tacoma airport last Wednesday, but he started feeling ill on Thursday and went to a doctor on Sunday with a fever and a cough, officials said. Lab testing Monday

confirmed he had the virus.

“The gentleman right now is very healthy,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier of the CDC said Tuesday.

The hospital, Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, said in a statement that it expected the man would remain in isolation and under monitoring there at least until Thursday.

CDC officials said they sent a team to Washington to try to track down people who might have come in contact with the man. The hospital also said it was contacting “the small number of staff and patients” who may have been with the man at a clinic.

The man is originally from central China, lives alone in the U.S. and made the trip solo, officials said. There were relatively few people who came in contact with him since he got back, health officials said.

Last month, doctors in Wuhan began seeing the new virus in people who got sick after spending time at a wholesale seafood market. More than 275 cases of the newly identified virus have been

confirmed in China, most of them in Wuhan, according to the World Health Organization.

The count includes six deaths — all in China, most of them age 60 or older, including at least some who

had a previous medical condition.

Officials have said the virus probably spread from animals to people, but this week Chinese officials said they’ve concluded it also can spread from person to person.

UN: 70% of world lives where inequality has grown

By Edith M. Lederer Associated Press

CAMEROON, Cameroon -- More than 70% of the world’s people live in countries where inequality has grown since 1990, including China and India, and growing inequalities are benefiting the wealthiest, a U.N. report said Tuesday.

But increasing inequality is not a universal trend, the World Social Report 2020 added, saying there has been a decline in income inequality over the last two decades in most countries of Latin America and the Caribbean and in many African countries.

Despite this progress, the report

said, the share of income going to the richest 1% of the global population increased in 46 out of 57 countries and areas for which data is available for 1990 to 2015.

In both developed and developing countries, tax rates declined, with the top income tax rates in developed countries dropping from 66% in 1981 to 43% in 2018, said the report by the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

The income differences among some countries and regions also is dramatic. For example, the report said the average income of people living in North America is 16 times that of people living in sub-Saharan Africa.

“At a time when the consequences

of our deeply unequal world play out in daily headlines, this report shows that the inequality challenge is a global one,” U.N. chief economist Elliott Harris told reporters.

In the forward to the report, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres wrote, “In North and South alike, mass protests have flared up, fueled by a combination of economic woes, growing inequalities and job insecurity.”

“Income disparities and a lack of opportunities are creating a vicious cycle of inequality, frustration and discontent across generations,” he said.

The report, titled “Inequality in a Rapidly Changing World,” examines

the effect of four trends on inequality: technological innovation, climate change, urbanization and international migration.

It said rapid technological breakthroughs in recent decades tend to create “winners and losers,” with highly skilled workers benefiting most and mainly low-skilled workers facing “job disruption -- and, at times, destruction.”

Digital innovation and artificial intelligence are opening vast new employment opportunities in areas such as education, health and agriculture, but these can only be realized if everyone has access, the report said.

This isn’t happening, so new “digital divides” are being created, it said.

The report cited one striking divide: about 87% of people in developed countries have Internet access, compared to just 19% in developing countries.

As for climate change, poorer countries in the tropics are among the most adversely affected and people there who are already living in poverty are being made even poorer, the report said.

If left unaddressed, it warned, climate change could cause millions of people to fall into poverty during the next 10 years. On the other side, it said, actions to combat climate change and transition to green economies can reduce poverty and inequality.

Police: Mother says she killed 3 kids found in Phoenix home

By Anita Snow Associated Press

PHOENIX — A Phoenix woman has been arrested on suspicion of killing her three children, who were found dead inside the family’s home after firefighters got a call about a drowning, authorities said Tuesday.

The 22-year-old mother, Rachel

Henry, “has admitted to harming her three children,” which led to their deaths, police Sgt. Mercedes Fortune told reporters outside the home on a block with several weathered wooden houses and an old mobile home in a once rural area of southern Phoenix.

A relative who lives at the house called police late Monday, and

officers found a 7-month-old girl, 2-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy in a living room with no obvious trauma.

The Phoenix Fire Department also received a call from the home reporting a drowning involving three children, Capt. Rob McDade said.

Relatives initially believed illness may have been a factor, but

“This isn’t something we usually forecast, but don’t be surprised if you see Iguanas falling from the trees tonight as lows drop into the 30s and 40s. Brrrr!” NWS Miami tweeted.

The low temperatures stun the invasive reptiles, but the iguanas won’t necessarily die. That means many will wake up as temperatures rise Wednesday.

Iguanas aren’t dangerous or aggressive to humans, but they damage seawalls, sidewalks, landscape foliage and can dig lengthy tunnels. The males can grow to at least 5 feet long and weigh nearly 20 pounds.

Female iguanas can lay nearly 80 eggs a year, and South Florida’s warm climate is perfect for the prehistoriclooking animals. Iguanas are native to Central America, tropical parts of South America and some Caribbean islands.

Foreign travel to North Korea has been temporarily suspended as of Wednesday, the Beijing-based Uri Tours said on its website citing its partners in Pyongyang.

It said it wasn’t immediately known how long the travel suspension will last or what protocols will be implemented.

“Our future tours remain open for booking,” the agency said. “But should this border closure affect your travel, we are giving tourists the ability to reschedule at any time or to receive a complete refund of their deposit (less bank

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Environmentalists are asking federal wildlife managers to used the Endangered Species Act to protect a fish found only in the Rio Grande in Texas and the Pecos River in New Mexico.

WildEarth Guardians filed the petition with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Tuesday, saying it is part of a campaign focused on vulnerable species found in rivers and streams across the West.

The group contends the Rio Grande shiner is one of the aquatic and riparian species that will not survive into the next century without a significant change in the way rivers are managed.

Fortune said police “are comfortable in saying now that the mother is responsible for the death of the children.”

Officers administered CPR and fire officials provided first aid, but the children were pronounced dead.

Police were interviewing the children’s 30-year-old father and a 49-year-old relative who lives in

the home, authorities said. The family had recently moved from Oklahoma.

Television footage showed two officers escorting Henry into a Phoenix jail, where she was booked on three counts of first-degree murder, police said. She was clad in a white gown with her hands cuffed behind her.

Take simple steps to change How you can make healthy food resolutions really stick

By Melissa Rayworth

It’s tempting to try making a half-dozen changes all at once, White says. But by focusing on individual, small, unhealthy behaviors and “really identifying what the triggers are that lead to those behaviors,” she says, people “can have a tremendous amount of success without torturing themselves.”

Associated Press

For many of us, January is all about giving things up: Maybe we’re going to stop eating meat and embrace a plant-based diet. Or we’re ready to kick excess sugar to the curb after a holiday season awash in sweets. Or we’re committed to avoiding fast food.

Starting the year with noble goals for eating well is a modern rite of passage. But it’s just as common to ditch those grand plans within a few weeks.

This year, how can we do it right? If we’re pledging to make better food choices, which strategies can help us stick with them?

Be patient If your goal is to lose 20 pounds, for example, it really will take four or five months — and it should, says Alex Montoye, assistant professor of clinical exercise physiology at Alma College in Alma, Michigan.

Losing a pound a week is “really the maximum sustainable weight loss,” Montoye says. Much as it surprises people, “2 pounds a week is pretty extreme.”

So aim to lose 5 pounds over the next six weeks through small behavioral shifts, and measure your behavior along the way. Apps and fitness trackers can help, as can a notebook where you list what you’ve eaten.

Researchers have found “that we are notoriously bad at estimating how many calories we’re taking in,” Azarbad says. “We tend to underestimate what we’re eating, because we forget. When we’re cooking, we taste the pasta sauce a few times and those are calories. Or we walk past our colleague’s desk and they had a jar of M&M’s and we took a few, but those add up. That can be the difference between you losing a pound a week and you not.”

Start small The consensus among experts is clear: It’s tempting to begin with dramatic gestures, but the key to lasting change is setting goals that are small enough we won’t scrap them

by Valentine’s Day. Manageable, measurable goals can create long-term change, says Leila Azarbad, associate professor of psychology at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. When people set lofty goals, they can get discouraged after a couple weeks.

“Our self-efficacy, that belief in our own ability, tanks,” she says. “And that’s a huge predictor: If you don’t feel confident in your ability to make the change, you’re going to discontinue trying.”

Picture this, says Dana White, a sports dietitian and clinical associate professor at Quinnipiac University: You want to lose 20 pounds and you know that every afternoon you visit the office vending machine for a snack to boost your energy. So, begin packing a healthy afternoon snack — not something punitive, but something healthier that you’ll enjoy — and have that instead of a vending machine candy bar.

It’s a measurable, specific change that won’t be unpleasant. And if it eliminates 200 calories, that shift will make a difference over the coming weeks and months. Once that new behavior is in place, you can add another small but meaningful change.

The same thinking works if you’re eliminating animal products: Rather than going cold turkey (cold tofu?), begin by replacing one dinner per week with a vegetarian meal. Plan it for a night when you won’t be rushed and can make an appealing recipe, or budget for going out once a week to a vegetarian restaurant.

Then track that change for three weeks, says Anna Baker, assistant professor of psychology at Bucknell University, who researches the connection between behavioral factors such as self-management and health outcomes.

Don’t be too hard on yourself Accept that mistakes are a normal part of building a new habit. If you know an event is coming up where you’ll want to divert from your eating goals, accept that you may slip a bit then.

Aim for “consistency, not perfection,” says Baker. “You have to plan in advance that you’re going to screw up. We’re not perfect.”

Enlist friends

This vegetarian dish is made of cauliflower. If you’re seeking to eliminate animal products from your diet in the new year, Bucknell assistant professor of psychology Anna Baker suggests making one vegetarian meal per week. After three weeks, you can add another vegetarian meal, eventually working up to a fully animal-free diet.

“You hear that it takes 21 days to create habit. There’s debate about whether it’s 21 exactly, but you need a certain amount of time of continuing to do something before it becomes a habit,” Baker says. “Once you do kind of get used to that change and you’re

doing it regularly, then you can add in another thing.”

If you make that one good shift for three weeks, congratulate yourself. Then maintain that behavior and add another small change, like drinking more water.

Lastly, “tell everybody you know that you’re doing this because social support is huge,” Azarbad says.

“If you’re going out to eat and they know you’re trying to change your diet, they can help choose a restaurant that will accommodate you,” she says.

And the need to save face may keep you on track. “Once you put it out there on social media and you tell everybody that ‘I’m going to do this. I’m going to lose 10 pounds by spring break,”’ you feel that people are watching, Azarbad says. “We don’t want other people to see us fail.”

Fond memories of bonfires Our first year living at the cabin on the lake. Fall of 1986, North Nikiski e have so much fun around our bonfires.

Bob started the tradition in our family many years ago while he was trimming trees and clearing brush so we could see the lake from a cabin that we were renting. We had to watch him closely.

Sometimes when he ran out of firewood or energy, he would go for the next best, closest, easiest thing he could put his hands on. I caught him carrying our neighbor John’s kitchen chairs down to the fire. He stated that John needed new ones anyway. I rescued them!

The garden hose did not fare so well. It sure made a lot of smoke.

Bob’s bonfires always brought out our neighbors (who no doubt saw all the smoke!).

We would spend all night in the middle of the summer around the bonfire, singing, telling stories and jokes and watching the sun go down and the moon come up all in the same hour.

Sometimes our visitor was a wandering moose — peeking in on us — or a “hooty owl,” letting us know that we were probably too noisy. And always a variety of food and drink shared by all. We loved the spontaneous bonfires.

They lasted for days and we never knew who would be sitting by the fire when we got up in the morning — usually it was John! He lived in the cabin next to us.

One memory is about our friend John. His three-wheeler crawled up on a blade of grass and dumped him over backward.

When he finally landed and got back on his feet, he had a broken

W

Pioneer potluck ‘Grannie’ Annie Berg right arm. As we all know, if you are right-handed, there is not a whole lot you can do until it heals.

Sitting beside a bonfire was pretty easy to do. He sat on a tall stool on the upside of the fire, with his arm in a crutch that Bob carved out of a forked (or fork-ed) stick. He had a wool poncho on and his favorite fishing hat sat on his head, with his arm in the fork-ed stick. We all were singing songs, and telling the stars and moon and wandering moose, how “things” should be.

Then in slow motion, John tipped forward, slowly plunging head first into the fire. We quickly fished him out and tried to put out the little fires that were erupting on the wool poncho. We sat him back on the stool and put his crutch back under his arm. He never said a word, then he looked around and slowly said, “Anyone seen my hat?” The very second he said “hat” it burst into flames in the middle of the fire. The rest of what was left of the evening was spent mourning the loss of John’s fishing hat.

Then there is the memory of Ditcher Dave and his shoes. He came by his name easily — he parked his car in the ditch once in a while! He was among many

guest that seemed to show up when they saw Bob’s bonfire and the smoke it gave off from time to time. Dave had his feet propped up on a rock that formed the ring around the fire. I looked up and yelled, “Dave! The soles of your shoes are dripping into the fire!”

He slowly moved his feet, stating that his feet were getting a little warm. He stomped around in the grass, gravel and leaves until they cooled off, leaving bits of the grass, gravel and leaves embedded in the soles of his shoes.

“Darn! I just bought these yesterday!” The rest of that evening was a big discussion on how “they don’t make shoes like they used to!”

Dave wore those shoes for a while, but if he was on concrete or in his house, they would click and clack, because of all the gravel and rocks embedded in the soles.

He gave them up finally with great regret, but bought new ones just like them. He was careful to not prop them up on the hot rocks of a bonfire.

What fun we had! What good memories!

Jeter, Walker elected to Hall of Fame NEW YORK (AP) — Known for two decades as No. 2, Derek Jeter is now linked to the number 1 — as in, who was the lone Hall of Fame voter who didn’t put a check mark next to his name?

Jeter came within one vote of being a unanimous pick,

SoHi hoops sweeps Nikiski

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

An explosive second quarter led the Soldotna girls to a 55-22 nonconference victory over Nikiski on Tuesday.

The Stars led the game 4-3 after the first quarter, but led 17-3 by the time Nikiski (5-3 overall) called timeout with 4 minutes, 52 seconds, left until halftime. Soldotna (12-0) would lead 30-10 at halftime.

Nikiski head coach Rustin Hitchcock said his team got a little bit tired and the Stars took advantage.

“We’re deeper this year,” Soldotna head coach Kyle McFall said. “We play nine.

We’re able to wear teams down.”

Ituau Tuisaula, who led with 16 points, and Drysta Crosby-Schneider, who had nine, are the main varsity returners.

McFall said the athletic group had a great offseason to move their skills to the varsity level.

“Hats off to McFall,” Hitchcock said. “They’ve got an excellent team.

“They’re an athletic, springy, defensive-minded team.”

Hitchcock said his team followed the game plan in breaking Soldotna’s press.

Nikiski got looks close to the basket, but the coach said Tuisaula, at 6-foot-0, and SoHi’s other talented leapers disrupted those shots.

Another big part of the game plan was to hold down Tuisaula.

“I felt like we kept her down better than last year, but their other players came to play,” Hitchcock said.

McFall said the Stars have been great in transition this year, and true to form they beat Nikiski down the floor for some buckets Tuesday.

The coach added SoHi has

been working on half-court offense and did a good job spreading the floor around Tuisaula with shooters Crosby-Schneider, Morgan Bouschor (13 points), Josie Sheridan (two 3-pointers) and Kianna Holland.

For Nikiski, Lillian Carstens led the way with five points.

Hitchcock said Kaycee Bostic continues to play well despite dealing with injuries, while America Jeffreys showed no quit and great leadership.

Soldotna boys 77, Nikiski 26 The host Stars got a 21-9 jump after the first quarter and never looked back in a nonconference victory.

Ray Chumley paced the Stars with 20 points, while Jersey Truesdell added 15.

For Soldotna, Austin Stafford had seven points, as did Caileb Payne.

Tanalian girls 47, CIA 9 Visiting Tanalian used a 21-4 first quarter to cruise past the Eagles.

For Tanalian, Katelyn Johnson and Ellah Wardell each had 10 points. Anna Henderson paced the Eagles with nine points.

CIA boys 62, Tanalina 61 The host Eagles notched a nonconference victory over Tanalian on Tuesday.

James Boyd had 15 to lead CIA, while Mason Ziegler had 14 and Grizzly Beard had 10.

Today is Wednesday, Jan. 22, the 22nd day of 2020. There are 344 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 22, 1998, Theodore Kaczynski (kah-ZIHN’-skee) pleaded guilty in Sacramento, California, to being the Unabomber responsible for three deaths and 29 injuries in return for a sentence of life in prison without parole.

On this date: In 1498, during his third voyage to the Western Hemisphere, Christopher Columbus arrived at the present-day Caribbean island of St. Vincent.

In 1901, Britain’s Queen Victoria died at age 81 after a reign of 63 years; she was succeeded by her eldest son, Edward VII. In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces began landing at Anzio, Italy.

In 1953, the Arthur Miller drama “The Crucible,” set during the Salem witch trials, opened on Broadway.

In 1970, the first regularly scheduled commercial flight of the Boeing 747 began in New York and ended in London some 6 1/2 hours later.

In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade decision, legalized abortions using a trimester approach. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson died at his Texas ranch at age 64.

In 1987, Pennsylvania treasurer R. Budd Dwyer, convicted of defrauding the state, proclaimed his innocence at a news conference before pulling out a gun, placing the barrel in his mouth and shooting himself to death in front of horrified onlookers.

In 1994, actor Telly Savalas died in Universal City, California, a day after turning 72.

In 1995, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy died at the Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 104.

In 1997, the Senate confirmed Madeleine Albright as the nation’s first female secretary of state.

In 2007, a double car bombing of a predominantly Shiite commercial area in Baghdad killed 88 people. Iran announced it had barred 38 nuclear inspectors on a United Nations list from entering the country in apparent retaliation for U.N. sanctions imposed the previous month.

In 2009, President Barack Obama signed an executive order to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp within a year. (The facility remained in operation as lawmakers blocked efforts to transfer terror suspects to the United States; President Donald Trump later issued an order to keep the jail open and allow the Pentagon to bring new prisoners there.)

Ten years ago: President Barack Obama tried to revive his battered agenda and rally Democrats with a renewed emphasis on jobs during a town hall meeting in Elyria, Ohio. The “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon raised more than $66 million. Conan O’Brien ended his brief tenure of only seven months on “The Tonight Show” after accepting a $45 million buyout from NBC to leave the show he’d long dreamed of hosting. Actress Jean Simmons, 80, died in Santa Monica, California. Actor James Mitchell, 89, died in Los Angeles.

Five years ago: With thousands of abortion protesters swarming Washington in their annual March for Life, the House voted 242-179 to permanently forbid federal funds for most abortion coverage, even though the legislation had no realistic chance of passage. Yemen’s U.S.-backed president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, quit under pressure from rebels holding him captive in his home. Former U.S. Senator and Kentucky Governor Wendell Ford, 90, died in Owensboro.

One year ago: The Supreme Court said the Trump administration could go ahead with its plan to restrict military service by transgender men and women as court challenges continued. Los Angeles teachers overwhelmingly approved a new contract, ending a six-day strike over funding and staffing in the nation’s second-largest school district.

“Roma” and “The Favourite” each picked up 10 nominations for the 91st Academy Awards; Netflix and Marvel each scored their first best-picture nomination, for “Roma” (Netflix) and “Black Panther” (Marvel.) Former New York Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera became baseball’s first unanimous Hall of Fame selection, as he was elected along with Edgar Martinez, Mike Mussina and the late Roy Halladay.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Piper Laurie is 88. Celebrity chef Graham Kerr (TV: “The Galloping Gourmet”) is 86. Author Joseph Wambaugh is 83. Singer Steve Perry is 71. Country singer-musician Teddy Gentry (Alabama) is 68. Movie director Jim Jarmusch is 67. Actor John Wesley Shipp is 65. Hockey Hall of Famer Mike Bossy is 63. Actress Linda Blair is 61.

Crossword | Eugene Sheffer

I recommend you bring someone — a friend or a date — with you to these gatherings. At least you will have someone to talk to.

DEAR ABBY: I have an acquaintance I see occasionally. He recently told me he is getting married. When I congratulated him, I wanted to ask who the lucky groom is because I have often thought he was gay, but I found out he’s marrying a woman.

What’s the appropriate way to ask this question nowadays since all of us can marry, I am happy to say. — PONDERING IN NEVADA DEAR PONDERING: A subtle way to ask that question would be, “Congratulations! What’s your lucky fiance’s (-ee’s) name?”

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dear Heloise: You had a recipe for a lemon-mint tea that my mother loved. She’s coming for a visit, and I’d like to make that tea for her. Would you repeat the recipe? I’ve misplaced the one I had. — Nicky G., Austin, Texas Nicky, this is a favorite of several of my friends.

You will need: 3-5 tea bags (regular size) 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1-2 teaspoons finely cut mint (fresh is best but dried will do. If you have dried mint, it is stronger, so use 1/2 the amount.)

Honey, brown sugar or any sweetener Add hot water to tea bags and the mint. Steep for 5 minutes, strain, then add the lemon and sweetener. If you like this lemon-mint tea, you’ll find it and much more in my Heloise’s Flavored Coffees and Teas pamphlet. To get a copy, send $3, along with a stamped (70 cents), self-addressed, long envelope, to: Heloise/Coffee & Tea, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Or you can order it online at

Republicans kill efforts to subpoena records and officials Los Angeles Times

WASHINGTON — The Senate rejected three Democratic attempts Tuesday to subpoena the White House, State Department and Office of Management and Budget for documents related to the Trump administration’s effort to hold and then release military aid for Ukraine — the centerpiece of the impeachment trial underway.

The effort came as Republicans backed off a plan to limit the trial by

Impeach From Page A1

Instead, 24 hours of opening arguments for each side will be spread over three days, for a moment swelling Democrats’ momentum as they push to break the standoff over calling new witnesses.

As the visitors’ gallery filled with guests, actress-and-activist Alyssa Milano among them, and Trump’s most ardent House allies lining the back rows, the day quickly took on the cadence of a trial proceeding over whether the president’s actions toward Ukraine warranted removal from office.

“It’s time to start with this trial,” said White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, the president’s lead lawyer, voicing impatience as the proceedings opened in public after weeks of delay.

Cipollone scoffed that the House charges against Trump were “ridiculous,” insisting the president “has done absolutely nothing wrong.”

The White House legal team did not dispute Trump’s actions, when he called Ukraine and asked for a “favor,” which was to investigate Democrat Joe Biden as the U.S. was withholding military aid the ally desperately needed as it faced off with hostile Russia on its border. But the lawyers insisted the president did nothing wrong. “Absolutely no case,” Cipollone said.

Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, opened for the prosecution saying America’s Founders added the remedy of impeachment in the Constitution with “precisely this type of conduct in mind — conduct that abuses the power of office for a personal benefit, that undermines our national security, and that invites foreign interference in the democratic process of an election.”

Said Schiff: “It is the trifecta of constitutional misconduct justifying impeachment.”

The other lead lawyer on Trump’s team, Jay Sekulow, retorted, “I’ll give you a trifecta,” outlining complaints over the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry process.

Recall From Page A1

— the recall application that over 46,000 Alaskans signed is still valid.”

Aarseth in his initial ruling struck one of the allegations raised by the recall group but determined the others should be allowed to

squeezing the arguments from both House Democrats and President Donald Trump’s lawyers into just four days. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., relented and agreed to six days for the two sides to present their cases, a retreat that Democrats hoped signaled weakness in the GOP’s unity on the rules for the trial.

But the first three Democratic motions to issue subpoenas were dispensed with, 53-47, with all Democrats voting in support of

accepting them and all Republicans against. They were the first in a series of Democratic amendments expected Tuesday. Additional amendments to subpoena acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security adviser John Bolton and others were possible.

But by the end of the session, the Senate is almost certain to approve the Republican rules proposal governing the trial, which includes a plan to delay any decision on witnesses and documents until after

opening arguments and senators’ questions.

Senators of both parties clung closely to their talking points. White House counsel Pat Cipollone said the articles are “not only ridiculous; they’re dangerous to our republic.”

Rep. Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., serving as the lead impeachment manager, called it “ass-backwards … to have a trial and then ask for witnesses.”

The day began with lengthy arguments from Schiff and the six other House Democratic managers, as

The impeachment trial, unfolding in an election year, is testing whether Trump’s actions toward Ukraine warrant removal at the same time that voters are forming their own verdict on his White House.

All four senators who are presidential candidates are off the campaign trail, seated as jurors. “My focus is going to be on impeachment,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, told reporters.

The day began as a debate over rules, and it was only when the clerk started reading the dry language of the resolution that the hand-written changes became apparent.

McConnell made the adjustment after encountering resistance from Republicans during a closed-door lunch meeting. Senators worried about the public reaction to cramming the 24 hours of opening arguments from each side into just two days.

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowksi of Alaska, along with a substantial number of other Republicans, wanted to make the changes, according to people familiar with the situation. Some senators argued that the two-day limit would have helped Democrats cast Republicans as squeezing testimony through in the dead of night.

Collins and Murkowski, who often ally to buck GOP leadership, sat side by side in the Senate through the day’s proceedings.

The turnaround was a swift lesson as White House wishes run into the reality of the Senate. The White House wanted a session kept to a shorter period to both expedite the trial and shift more of the proceedings into late night, according to a person familiar with the matter but unauthorized to discuss it in public.

“READ THE TRANSCRIPTS!” the president tweeted from overseas, at a global leaders conference in Davos, Switzerland.

That’s the transcript of his phone call in which he asked new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy for “a favor.” The Democrats cite that transcript as solid evidence against Trump, though he repeatedly describes it as “perfect.”

A whistleblower’s complaint led the House to impeach Trump last

month on a charge of abuse of power for pushing Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Biden and his son Hunter Biden as the White House was withholding military aid from Ukraine. Trump also was impeached on a second charge, of obstruction of Congress, in the House probe.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York said Republican senators “felt the heat” and it “shows that they can make other changes, and that we can get documents and witnesses.”

Schumer offered the first of several amendments to the rules — to issue subpoena for to the White House for “all documents, communications and other records” relating to the Ukraine matter.

It was rejected on a party-line vote, as were the others.

Trump’s legal team, absent its TV-showcase attorneys, Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr who were not in the chamber, argued that in seeking new evidence the House was bringing a half-baked case that

would be thrown out in any other court of law.

But Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, one of the House managers and the first woman to argue for the prosecution in a presidential impeachment trial, said the House wasn’t asking the Senate to do the job for them.

“The House is asking the Senate to do its job, to have a trial,” she said.

“Have you ever heard of a trial without evidence?”

The White House had instructed officials not to testify in the House inquiry, and refused to turn over witnesses or documents, citing what is says is precedence in defiance of congressional subpoenas.

The ambassadors and national security officials who did appear before the House delivered often striking testimony, highlights that were displayed on television screens during the Senate proceeding.

One manager, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, showed Mulvaney’s own press conference comments about Trump’s rationale

for withholding the Urkaine aid.

At one point, Democrat Schiff displayed video of Trump himself suggesting there should be more witnesses testifying.

“Don’t blind yourself to the evidence,” Schiff told the senators.

“The facts will come out in the end,” he said. ” The question is, will it come out in time?”

Legal scholars have long insisted the framers of the Constitution provided impeachment as a remedy for “other high crimes and misdemeanors,” a particularly broad definition that doesn’t mean simply specific criminal acts.

Democrats point in particular to a General Accountability Office report that found the White House violated federal law by stalling money to Ukraine that had been approved

by Congress. No president has ever been removed from office by the Senate. With its 53-47 Republican majority, the Senate is not expected to mount the two-thirds vote needed for conviction.

proceed.

“Recall Dunleavy intends to pursue all necessary procedures at every level to guarantee that Alaskans will have the opportunity to sign the recall petition as soon as possible,” Pywell said in a statement.

The Recall Dunleavy group, in a court filing, asked Aarseth to reconsider his stay. In court documents, it labels as “specious and

speculative” arguments made by recall opponents that they would be irreparably harmed if the signature-gathering was not halted pending appeal. Stand Tall With Mike said in a court filing that if the Republican governor faces a recall campaign, “he will be less able to focus on fulfilling his campaign promises while defending against this recall effort,” the document states. The recall opposition group

also said that if signature gathering moved forward and the Supreme Court ultimately struck down at least part of the recall application, it would lead to more legal disputes and create confusion. “Such a result does not accord with Alaska’s orderly process of recall for cause,” the filing states. “It is better for all to measure twice and cut once.”

Stand Tall With Mike stated it was prepared to seek an appeal on

an expedited schedule. Brewster Jamieson, an attorney for Stand Tall With Mike, said he was pleased with Aarseth’s order, adding the matter needs to be fully decided by the Alaska Supreme Court.

A tweet from Attorney General Kevin Clarkson’s account said Tuesday that Aarseth’s order “makes sense because the Supreme Court’s direction on statewide recall standards is needed.”

Eastman said his motion was valid, and he wanted it acted upon.

That led to an at-ease and some visible frustration.

Ultimately, Eastman withdrew his motion after he said he was satisfied the unanimity would be reflected.

After the House was adjourned until Friday morning, Eastman said he insisted on the motion because just as representatives’ votes are recorded for legislation, they should be public knowledge for an appointment confirmation.

“It should be reflected who voted which way,” Eastman said.

At approximately 5:30 p.m., the Senate reconvened to discussed committee appointments. The proposed appointments appeared to point to a shift in power.

Sen. Laura Reinbold, R-Eagle River, objected to the new committee report. She called the new appointments an “absolute restructuring of power in the Senate,” and said the decisions were made by leadership behind closed doors.

Sen. Mike Shower, R-Wasilla, said he felt the new committee appointments punished conservative members for voting for a full PFD. Last session, several conservative members sided with Gov. Mike Dunleavy in seeking a fully funded PFD. Their efforts were ultimately stymied in favor of a $1,600 PFD.

Set Free Alaska opens outpatient services

By Megan Pacer Homer News

After about a year of working on a project to expand services to Homer, a faith-based nonprofit that deals in addiction treatment has opened outpatient services in town.

Set Free Alaska, based in the Mat-Su Valley, held an open house last week for its outpatient addiction treatment services building on Ocean Drive in Homer. The organization was awarded a state grant of about $1.5 million last year in order to establish addiction treatment services on the lower Kenai Peninsula.

Executive Director Philip Licht said at the open house celebration that that grant was originally intended to be put to use in the Anchorage or Mat-Su areas, but that Set Free Alaska made a pitch to allow the funds to be used in the Homer area. He said he’s wanted to bring services to Homer for several years and that the nonprofit is now at a place where that can happen.

Licht worked with members of the local Southern Kenai Peninsula Opioid Task force, which identified addiction treatment resources for men as the greatest need in the Homer area right now. He went to the Homer City Council last year asking for matching funds when applying for the state grant.

The city council ultimately voted not to use public money to help fund a religious organization without more information about the project. Set Free Alaska was still awarded the state grant and started looking for possible locations for an inpatient treatment center in Homer. Met with opposition in several neighborhoods, the organization finally settled on a former bed and breakfast lodge 15 miles down East End Road as the location for the inpatient treatment facility where a handful of men in recovery will live for the duration of their program.

That facility is currently being remodeled and is slated to open in April.

Though they were not present because a city council meeting was happening at the same time as the open house, Licht gave special thanks to members of the city council and to Mayor Ken Castner for being supportive of the project even through the council voted not to provide matching funding for the grant application.

“Even though they didn’t want to fund the program and agreement, their belief in the program and their desire for the program was very strong,” he said. “… I just want to acknowledge them publicly and thank them for their support and their leadership of this community — coming along and saying, we need this, we want this, we believe in you all and we support you.”

Licht also thanked the 10 different churches in the Homer area who he said all signed a letter in support of Set Free Alaska. He credited the Opioid Task Force and the Mobilizing for Action Through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) of the Southern Kenai Peninsula for all the work those groups have already put in locally tackling the issue of addiction and how to encourage recovery.

“The MAPP group and the Task Force … I see as the groups(s) who (have) provided the leadership in this community, moving in the effort in freedom from addiction and bringing awareness to these issues,” Licht said.

“Not just addiction, but resilience and all these issues in the community. They’ve done incredible work and in so many ways, we’re not coming to start a work here, we’re coming to continue on with the work that they’re doing.”

Catriona Reynolds, director of Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic, is a member of the MAPP Steering Committee and was present at the open house.

She said in a later email that Set

Free Alaska is a welcome addition to the current offerings in the community as far as addiction treatment and recovery go.

“Their services and approach will work well for many people,” Reynolds wrote. “SetFree is not a panacea for the opioid crisis or addiction in general; they provide another option that closes some of the gaps in essential services in our area. I appreciate how Philip Licht has reached out to include a broad range of community partners and stakeholders.”

Set Free Alaska uses a faithbased approach to helping people gain resilience and stay in recovery. However, the organization admits people of any faith or no faith to their programs.

Rep. Sarah Vance, R-Homer, also spoke at the Jan. 16 open house, saying that outpatient addiction treatment services have been a need in the Homer community for a long time.

“It does take the whole community in order to make this happen,” Vance said. “…

The healing that happens for the individual struggling with addiction isn’t just going to happen in this facility or in the residential (facility) — it’s going to happen by all of us as community members partnering with the work that they’re doing to help with the recovery, to help make sure that once the community members go through your program, that we help keep them on that right path by offering that support.”

Licht told the small crowd assembled in the outpatient services building that Set Free Alaska dedicates each one of its programs. In the past, inpatient or outpatient programs have been dedicated to clients, or to founding board members.

This program is being dedicated to the city of Homer and the surrounding communities, Licht announced.

“May the reputation of the beauty of your people surpass even the reputation of your

The outpatient addiction treatment services are located at 1130 Ocean Drive in Homer and the phone number is 907-2354732. The facility will provide outpatient counseling to both

men and women, including substance abuse treatment, assessments and diagnosis, continuing care and traumainformed treatment. The facility accepts both private insurance and Medicaid, and sliding scale fee arrangements are also available.
