In the news Driver dies when sedan strikes moose northwest of Wasilla WASILLA — A driver died in a car crash with a moose northwest of Wasilla.

Alaska State Troopers did not immediately release the name and gender of the driver because next of kin had not been notified.

Troopers just before 4 a.m. Friday took a call of a crash of a sedan.

The driver died at the scene and the sedan was heavily damaged.

The state medical examiner will conduct an autopsy.

Driver who killed 2 teens will have sentence reconsidered ANCHORAGE — An Anchorage intoxicated driver sentenced to 32 years in prison for killing two 15-year-old girls on a sidewalk will have his prison term reconsidered.

The Anchorage Daily News reports the Alaska Court of Appeals ruled Friday that the sentencing analysis for Stacey Graham was “legally mistaken.”

Judges also determined Superior Court Judge Kevin Saxby’s decision appeared to be influenced by the principal of retribution, which Alaska law does not allow.

Appellate judges ordered re-sentencing with another judge.

Graham was 32 in August 2013 when his pickup hopped a curb and struck Jordyn Durr and Brooke McPheters.

Graham’s blood alcohol level measured more than twice the legal limit.

Witnesses described him recklessly passing other vehicles before the crash.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder in 2014.

Dunleavy dissolves climate action team Murkowski

By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire

Members of a statewide climate change action team were waiting for official word from Gov. Mike Dunleavy on what his administration was envisioning for the future of the team.

There was no official word from the governor’s office until Friday evening — when the governor’s office sent an email to the members saying the team was disbanded. Through an administrative order Friday, Dunleavy rescinded seven previous administrative orders, including AO 289, which established the Climate Change for Alaska

Leadership Team.

The team, which was established by former Gov. Bill Walker in 2017, was supposed to work together

to provide advice and analysis for how the state can address climate change.

In September 2018, the team presented the Alaska

Climate Action Plan, a 38page document that outlined a variety of options that could help the state address climate change-related issues including permafrost melt, coastal erosion and threats to Alaska’s fisheries.

Juneau resident Michael LeVine, a senior Arctic fellow for Ocean Conservancy and a member of the team, said he was disappointed at how abruptly and quietly Dunleavy dissolved the team.

“As far as I’m aware, the governor has not even shown the respect of announcing that he’s disbanded the leadership team See TEAM, page A2

Quilted with love New nonprofit provides handmade blankets for heroes

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Kalie Klaysmat is seeking to bring comfort to veterans undergoing chemotherapy. Her newly established nonprofit, Quilts for Heroes, brings peninsula-made blankets to veterans who might need some extra warmth during a difficult time.

“We are hoping we can find an army of quilting angels here on the peninsula that will donate a quilt a year for veterans undergoing chemotherapy,” Klaysmat said. “That to us would be wonderful. It’s like getting a hug from somebody.

We’re hoping that the veterans know, even if they don’t know who made the quilt, that they will know that somebody cared.”

On Thursday, Klaysmat and Vice President of Quilts for Heroes Jeanne Acton,

says she’s likely to back Trump disapproval

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU— U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she is likely to support a resolution of disapproval over President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency to secure more money for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

In an audio recording provided by an aide late Friday, Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, noted concerns she has raised about the precedent that could be set if the declaration stands.

House Democrats introduced a resolution Friday to block the national emergency declaration. If it passes the Democratic-controlled House, it would go to the Republican-held Senate.

Trump on Friday promised a veto.

“I want to make sure that the resolution of disapproval is exactly what I think it is, because if it is as I understand it to be, I will likely be supporting the resolution to disapprove of the action,” Murkowski said.

When pressed on her position during an appearance on Anchorage TV station KTUU Friday evening, she said: “If it’s what I have seen right now, I will support the resolution to disapprove.”

Earlier in the week, Murkowski told reporters she supports efforts to bolster border security but worries about an erosion of government checks and balances.

“I’ll be very direct. I don’t like this. I don’t like this,” she said. “I think it See BACK, page A3

Micciche calls budget perfect tool for engaging Alaskans

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s budget proposal is the perfect tool for asking Alaska residents if they want a spending plan that goes to extremes or if they are open to broader discussion, a Republican state lawmaker said Friday.

Sen. Peter Micciche of Soldotna said Alaska residents can help decide if they want to “live essentially like cavemen” without services they count on or if they want to find a different balance.

ber, has proposed addressing a projected $1.6 billion deficit for the coming fiscal year with sweeping cuts and

tax collection changes that would benefit the state but pinch some boroughs and municipalities.

Trial begins for Anchorage man charged with killing wife ANCHORAGE (AP) — An attorney for an Anchorage man charged with killing his wife three years ago said the state can’t prove the case — or even that the woman is dead.

Investigators never found the body of 32-yearold Linda Skeek, defense attorney Emily Cooper said Thursday in her opening statement in the trial of Thomas Skeek, 37, on charges of murder and evidence tampering.

Cooper told jurors the

state’s evidence is weak and circumstantial, Anchorage television station KTVA reported.

“This case is about whether the state can prove their case, whether they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Thomas is guilty of murder, and they cannot,” Cooper said.

Prosecutors over three years revealed little about their case against Thomas Skeek, who reported his wife missing on Jan. 4, 2016.

Prosecutor Saritha Anjilvel in her opening statement said the state will prove Skeek killed his wife early on New Year’s Day in 2016 at their home in southeast Anchorage and disposed of her body.

Prosecutors plan to introduce blood evidence found in the home along with receipts and surveillance video they believe prove Skeek tried to clean up a crime scene.

They also say they in-

He also has proposed a full dividend payout to residents this year from the state’s oil-wealth fund, the Alaska Permanent Fund, estimated to cost $1.9 billion, and no new statewide taxes.

Dividends were capped the last three years amid the ongoing deficit debate.

The state currently has no statewide sales or personal income tax. The appetite to revisit oil taxes appears tepid.

Micciche told reporters that if his constituents want a full dividend, he’ll push for that. But he said the effect of the current budget plan is to shift costs locally

— meaning Alaskans would have to pick up some of the slack.

Micciche said Dunleavy’s budget is the perfect tool to hold up and say, “if you want to go extreme on one side, this is what it looks like. But if you want a better balance, let’s talk about that.”

Both Senate President Cathy Giessel and Micciche said there is room to cut the budget but Micciche noted that $1.6 billion is a huge leap.

Areas eyed for major cuts or changes include K-12 education, the university See TOOL, page A2

US funds Coast Guard icebreaker in massive spending package FAIRBANKS (AP) — A spending bill approved

by Congress that kept the federal government open included a project dear to the Alaska congressional delegation: a new polar icebreaker.

The spending bill includes $655 million for designing and building the icebreaker for the Coast Guard, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.

The bill includes $20

million for materials to eventually build a second icebreaker and $740 million for new cutters, including six to be based in Alaska.

The measure also provides $53 million for cutter support facilities in the state, with $22 million for Kodiak and $31 million to Seward.

Healing comes in a bowl of soup at Anchorage hospital

By JULIA O’MALLEY Anchorage Daily News

ANCHORAGE — Kitchen workers pushed a soup cart down the halls at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage on a recent Tuesday, stopping outside a room belonging to Jean Hull. Hull, recovering in bed, took a cup of broth with two hands and let the steam warm her face.

“Oh my God,” she said.

“It smells just like the village type.”

The soup, which has been served on Tuesdays at the hospital for about a year, is made from harbor seal bones and meat. Changes in federal food rules in 2014 allowed the hospital to begin serving donated subsistence foods. Now the hospital’s menus regularly feature caribou, seaweed, wild berries, moose, white fish and herring eggs.

But seal soup, prepared in a simple, generations-old style, is the only dish featuring marine mammal. It is likely the only food service preparation of marine mammal in America. Servers say elders, many who are away from their villages for medical treatment, frequently become emotional when they eat it.

wanted to find a way to help veterans.

“Our theory when we started this, was that there were probably a lot of people on the peninsula who would love to be able to help a vet, but didn’t know how to do it,” Klaysmat said.

“This gave me an outlet to

Hull, 76, lives in Anchorage but is originally from Bethel, she said. When she sipped the broth, she smiled and asked for “hard tack,” or pilot bread.

“Home,” she said. “It tastes like home.”

Seal, walrus and whale are important proteins in many traditional Alaska Native di-

ets. Nutrient-rich seal oil is rendered from the cold-water animal’s fat, which liquefies at room temperature. The golden, marine-scented oil is eaten throughout the state by coastal Alaska Native groups and is widely believed to have healing properties.

Amy Foote, the hospital’s executive chef, makes 100

to 175 servings of the soup a week. It always runs out, she said.

“For our patients, seal has been the most commonly requested protein,” she said.

“It’s that healthy fat content.

When it hits your stomach, it warms you. That warming feels healing to people.”

Foote, who is not Alaska

Native, has learned subsistence food preparations from Alaska Native cooks and then adapted them to fit with the most common dietary restrictions patients have, she said. Native recipes are often unwritten and must be developed through trial and error and then scaled up. Seal soup, like fry bread, has many regional variations.

“Everybody makes it a little bit different,” she said.

The hospital soup is made by simmering a rich stock with bones and fat. Then Foote adds vegetables and meat. Some cooks make seal soup with potatoes or macaroni as the starch. Foote uses rice. Some cooks also prefer a broth darkened with seal blood, which lends the soup nutrition and follows the subsistence value of using all the parts of an animal. The hospital makes a lighter version without blood, meant to appeal to the widest number of palates, Foote said. The soup is similar to simple chicken soup, but slightly oilier, with a light marine flavor.

Donated proteins like caribou and moose can be sent out to be processed elsewhere, but seal must be processed in the

be able to do things for veterans.”

Klaysmat approached her sewing group at Bearly Threaded Quilting, where she had been sewing with a group of women, and making quilts for the Kenai Peninsula Children’s Advocacy Center and Central Peninsula Oncology Center.

“So, I went to my friends (at Bearly Threaded Quilting) and said will you join me in this project, and that’s

how (Quilts for Heroes) got started,” Klaysmat said.

The nonprofit was officially established around November, and by the end of 2018, the group had donated 138 quilts. Since 2019, the group has completed nearly 50 quilts.

Klaysmat said the quilts can offer comfort to those who are going through cancer treatment.

“They say the thing that always happens is they get

chilled,” Klaysmat said.

“So these quilts provide warmth.”

She said the group likes to say there is “a lot of love stitched into every quilt.”

“It makes a difference to know you’re not alone when you’re going through that,” Acton said.

Klaysmat and her group make quilts, but others are highly encouraged to get involved, she said. Interested sewers can get in touch

through the group’s Facebook page.

“We can make sure they get delivered and take care of the logistics,” Klaysmat said.

“But, we really need people who will take the time to volunteer. If they can do it out of their own stash, that’s awesome.”

Quilts can be any size, but Klaysmat said the ideal size is about 60 inches by 70 inches. Quilts are encouraged to be patriotic in some way,

but many feature Alaskana themes and other designs.

However, Klaysmat said the group strives to be as rule-free as possible.

“That’s our goal,” she said.

“We don’t want to set a lot of rules and criteria for things.”

Quilters don’t know who receives their quilt, and veterans don’t know who quilted the blankets they receive.

“We don’t do it for a special person, because they are all special to us,” Klaysmat said.

state’s fiscal situation to a kid who, instead of cleaning his room, shoved things under his bed or in the closet.

“We’re in the year where we’ve opened the closet and everything’s falling out on us because we didn’t put things away as we should have over the years,” she said.

The state for years has relied on savings to fill the deficit but has seen its

options dwindle amid disagreements over taxes and the level of continued cuts.

The state began using permanent fund earnings last year to help pay for government expenses, and some lawmakers say they want to avoid overspending from that account.

Taxes are not under consideration at this time, said Giessel, who leads a primarily Republican major-

ity.

Senate Democratic Leader Tom Begich told reporters recently that regardless of Dunleavy’s position on issues like taxes, lawmakers have an obligation to provide services to Alaska residents in a reasonable way.

The House’s new bipartisan majority has just begun formal budget hearings after taking a month to organize.

decision.”

Dunleavy has said in press conferences that climate change is not a high priority for his administration. Shuckerow concluded his statement by saying Dunleavy’s focus is on public safety, protecting the Permanent Fund Dividend, promoting economic growth and balancing the budget.

LeVine didn’t want to speak for his fellow members of the team, but he said he didn’t expect this action.

He was also vehement that climate change — especially in Alaska where the effects are so prevalent — should not be about politics.

“It is not a political issue,” LeVine said. “It is

an Alaskan issue, and one that we have to take action to confront. Our communities, our economies, our ways of life are being affected by changing climate and the leadership team was at least a step in the direction of having the state think about how to tackle those problems.”

A similar scenario played out a few years ago. Former Gov. Sarah Palin had created a climate change subcabinet during her tenure as governor, which was then dissolved by ensuing Gov. Sean Parnell.

The recommendations of the climate team were nonbinding, meaning the governor and Legislature aren’t required to take any actions that the team rec-

ommended, according to the administrative order at the time. Walker’s administrative order came days after a group of teenagers sued the state for failing to have a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the state, and critics expressed that Walker’s order was more about making it look like the administration was taking climate change seriously instead of actually taking action.

Still, LeVine said he’s proud of the work the team did and was looking forward to continuing it for the next year and a half.

“The abrupt manner in which the team was disbanded is particularly disappointing in light of all of that hard, collaborative work we did together,” LeVine said.

or revoked the administrative order,” LeVine said by phone Saturday. “We had to find his administrative order on the website. I, at least, was taken totally off guard by receiving the letter.”

The team of 21 was supposed to work together over the span of three years, starting in December 2017, LeVine said. The group, which was previously chaired by former Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott, was only in place for half that time.

Dunleavy, a Republican, had not had any official communication with the members of the team since taking office in December, LeVine said.

Matt Shuckerow, Dunleavy’s press secretary, said in a statement to the Empire that the governor repealed the former administrative orders for a variety of reasons. The previous administrative orders, Shuckerow said, were either no longer relevant, had already served their purpose, were not aligned with Dunleavy’s policy direction or “appear to have been made primarily for political or public relations purposes.” All of the administrative orders were issued by Walker, according to the statement.

“No governor should be tied to a previous administration’s work product or political agenda,” the statement said, “and nobody should be surprised to see Gov. Dunleavy make this

hospital kitchen. There is no commercial seal meat processor, Foote said. She has a lot of experience with wild game, but seal is different.

“That’s been a little bit of learning along the way,” Foote said. “The hardest piece is the anatomy piece.”

Foote said the hospital would consider serving whale or bearded seal if enough was donated. Walrus, along with polar bear, bear and fox, is prohibited because of the trichinosis risk, she said.

Harbor seals weigh more than 100 pounds (they can range up to three times that size) and are covered in a thick layer of blubber, which turns to oil in the warmth of the kitchen. Usually a strong kitchen worker must brace the partially frozen meat while another cuts with a bone saw.

Right now, much of the hospital’s seal comes from outside Haines, where Tim Ackerman, who is Tlingit, hunts them the way his elders did, canoeing to the rocky shores of Chilkat and Chilkoot inlets and calling the animals in.

“I just growl at them,” he said. “They get curious.”

Donna Hill Johnston died January 8, 2019 after a long 3 year courageous battle with cancer.

Donna was born January 22, 1952 in Hayti, Missouri. She lived in Kenai during her school years and graduated from KCHS in 1969.

She married Donald Johnston on June 30, 2001 and they made their home in Anchorage. Donna worked for the municipality of Anchorage for many years as a retirement specialist, enjoyed camping and fishing and being with family.

Donna is survived by her husband Donny, her five siblings, Kathy Stuart of Washington, Cindy (Steve) Morgan of Soldotna, Don (Becky) Hill of Washington, Mike Hill of Destin, Florida, Joanna (BJ) Dempsey of Florida, numerous nieces and nephews and also her beautiful cats, Abi, Buddy and Lexy.

“It is a tragedy to which all of us will witness over the coming days and weeks of this trial, and it is the story of her death that you will hear, and the chain of events that followed it that you will piece together,” Anjilvel said.

Defense attorney Cooper said decisions by Linda Skeek to drink heavily on weekends and to also have an affair led to her disappearance.

“Her choices are what led to the initial delays in the investigation, and ultimately, her husband being falsely accused of murder,” Cooper said.

The state’s first witness was Barbara Barnett, who lived in an apartment unit above the Skeek’s. She said Thomas Skeek on Jan. 1, 2016, showed up in a car she hadn’t seen before and banged on his own door.

He entered the home and the couple argued, Barnett said. She heard Linda Skeek say she wanted a divorce. The yelling escalated into sounds of things being thrown and broken, she said.

Barnett testified she heard and felt a jolt that knocked a photo off her wall.

“It was louder than a thump or a thud, it was like a loud bang. It sounded like someone got thrown into the wall,” she said.

Prosecutor James Fayette asked what she heard next.

“Nothing,” Barnett said.

“Not a sound. I never heard Linda again.”

Cooper in her opening statement cautioned jurors against believing Barnett’s account.

“Her story has never once been the same over the three years of testifying and being interviewed,” Cooper said. “And at the end of this case, I’ll stand here again and urge you not to give very much weight to the state’s first witness in this case.”

Murkowski said it is “certainly as much as the administration can spend in this fiscal year” to advance Trump’s priorities.

Alaska’s other U.S. senator, Republican Dan Sullivan, on Thursday called the border situation a crisis but said he didn’t think a national emergency declaration was needed because of the money just approved and other resources identified by the White House.

What Others Say

Countdown to a more dangerous world Mark Aug. 2, 2019, in your calendar.

That’s the day the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, one of the most consequential arms control agreements ever signed, is set to expire.

The countdown to its demise began earlier this month when, after months of baiting each other, the United States and Russia both announced they would abandon the treaty.

That mustn’t be allowed to happen. Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin must end the brinkmanship that brought them to this precipice and open up talks to resolve their differences.

More than a single treaty is at stake. The death of the INF could mark the beginning of the end to decades of arms control diplomacy that resulted in more than a dozen agreements that have, so far, prevented a nuclear Armageddon.

In recent years worries about nuclear weapons have focused on other countries developing nukes, rogue states like North Korea, or even terrorists getting hold of a bomb. But the U.S. and Russia, the original nuclear powers, still control 90 per cent of all these weapons. If they give up on arms control, who knows where that might end?

The INF is a key part of those efforts to pull back from the brink. Signed in 1987 by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, it eliminated almost 2,700 nuclear-capable missiles. And it banned both nations from stationing short- and intermediate-range land-based missiles (those with a range of 500 to 5,500 km) in Europe. It was a big step in ending the Cold War. So why are we standing on this ledge? The short answer is that Russia has been violating the treaty for years. It’s been stockpiling Novator 9M729 cruise missiles, which are banned by the treaty, since 2017.

That’s an unacceptable breach of the agreement but it should lead to negotiations, sanctions and political pressure — not pulling out of the treaty entirely.

The fact is the world will be a more dangerous place without the INF agreement. Indeed, the threatened demise of the pact was one of the factors that led experts with The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, who evaluate the nuclear threat to the planet, to declare that the situation now is “as worrisome as the most dangerous times of the Cold War.” — The Toronto Star, Feb. 17

Letter to the Editor Legislature isn’t a rubber stamp I attended the “Town hall” public meeting held by District 30 Rep. Gary Knopp last week. There was a good turnout, and many of the folks who attended were downright hostile to Mr. Knopp.

While I don’t always agree with him on specific issues, I do believe that Mr. Knopp has acted in the best interests of the majority of the people in his district, in taking the actions he has in trying to organize a bipartisan coalition in the State House of Representatives.

Many of the people criticizing him at the meeting seemed to feel that he has a duty to toe the Republican party line, since he ran as a Republican. They seem to believe that his function is to simply “rubber stamp” the governor’s proposed budget, rather than using his best judgment to examine it and propose changes he believes are in the best interest of the people of his district.

I hope the people of District 30 will think about it, and realize that the Legislature is there for a purpose, and shouldn’t be expected to defer to the governor when they may disagree with him. That’s the way it was taught to me in eighth-grade civics class. (For whatever relevance it may have, I’ve lived in Alaska since before statehood.)

Presidents Day hustle

One can only assume that you used the annual Presidents Day to reflect on the current one, Number 45. No? How about if I say that like so many patriotic holidays, it has devolved into a mere commercial enterprise contrived of sales events or promotions. In that realm, President Donald Trump is No. 1, the huckster-in-chief. Before he went off to recharge his batteries at Mara-Lago, aka Botoxlandia, he left behind a message for all in Washington, those whose job it is to try to figure out his latest incoherent comments. The rants in question came at another of his bizarre news conferences (a gross redundancy). These are always opportunities for him to drop his verbal nuggets of fool’s gold, allowing him to stir the pot and leave everybody who hears his free association to question his sanity, honesty or at least his impulse control.

His attorneys could be easily identified in the White House Rose Garden, which served as his venue.

They were the ones with their heads buried in their hands. He was riffing about his declaration of a national emergency to finance his border wall project — legally suspect because it bypasses Congress, which the Constitution grants “the power of the purse.” His lawyers will be the ones to defend it in lawsuits that are already sprouting like weeds

in courthouses everywhere. Is this an authoritarian showing contempt for the founders’ separation of powers? Is it really an “emergency,” like he says it is?

Bob Franken Donald Trump his very own self seemed to question that during his long, long soliloquy. “I didn’t need to do this,” Trump stated. “But I’d rather do it much faster.” That sound you heard was his legal team giving the unified head slap. Not only is the answer to whether it is an “emergency” if he “didn’t need to do this” obvious to any judge, but way more than a million federal workers and contractors, who are still trying to recover from a 35-day shutdown, might be hopping mad to learn that he “didn’t need” to put them through their agony.

Actually, he rambled all over the map: the southern border, North Korea, China … China? Maybe his wall fetish has to do with the Great Wall of China, which was constructed millennia ago to protect that country’s borders. In modern times, sections have become real tourist attractions. Could this be Donald Trump the business speculator, creating a tourist spot with a U.S. ver-

sion? Does he fantasize about constructing Trump casinos along the Rio Grande? The problem is that his other casino ventures have been disaster, but now that he has his new gig, as P.T. Barnum supposedly said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” He has a built-in stash of suckers, the millions who make up his base. He has thus far been successful in convincing most of them that his failures are successes. So it is when his clumsy attempts to bully the Democrats in Congress went nowhere, he creates a “national emergency” declaration to appease those suckers, excuse me, those in his base who think the wall is a brilliant success. Thanks only to him, they will now be protected from the dangers of marauding brown-skinned people intent on raping and pillaging in the U.S.A. Never mind that the vast majority of rapers and pillagers in our country are natural-born citizens, and never mind that the drugs come in mostly at legal points of entries.

Inconvenient facts are, in his telling, simply “lies” spread by those monsters from the fake news media.

Presidents Day was an extra day off designed to honor our leaders, even the ones who have dishonored our nation. When he chooses to even acknowledge it, the guy in power at the moment wants to emphasize the “con” in the Constitution.

News Analysis

Biden’s 2020 opening? Dem field missing foreign policy hand

By ELANA SCHOR and THOMAS BEAUMONT Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In town halls, television interviews and social media posts, Democratic presidential candidates are touting their support for “Medicare-for-all,” higher taxes on the wealthy and a war on climate change. But foreign policy, one of the chief responsibilities of a president, is largely taking a back seat on the campaign trail.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is seizing on that opening to position himself as the sole global policy expert in a crowded Democratic field if he decides to run for president.

In a series of speeches over the past month, Biden portrayed himself as an authoritative counterweight to President Donald Trump’s isolationist and nationalistic impulses. Last week, he told an audience in Germany that his vision of America “stands up to the aggression of dictators.” The problems of the 21st century, he later said at the University of Pennsylvania, can’t be solved “without there being cooperation.” His advisers have endorsed his foreign policy credentials to key political operatives and allies in earlyvoting states.

The moves reflect the vulnerabilities Biden, a 76-year-old firmly aligned with the Democratic establishment, could exploit in a crowded primary with rivals who are decades younger and working overtime to appeal to the party’s liberal base. In that kind of race, Biden could carve out space as a battle-tested statesman with

the experience to stabilize America’s role in the world.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat who has already pledged to support Biden over home-state colleague Kamala Harris, recently summed up his advantage: “Huge international experience,” she told reporters. “And a knowledge that’s really unparalleled in terms of what’s happening in the world.”

Scott Mulhauser, Biden’s former deputy chief of staff, said focusing on foreign policy and national security “is a smart way to draw distinctions” in the primary field.

But running on foreign policy could carry risks. Although the election season is in its infancy and a crisis could shuffle priorities, it’s not clear that foreign policy is a top issue on voters’ minds.

AP VoteCast, a nationwide survey of the American electorate, found that 5 percent of 2018 midterm voters said foreign policy was the top issue facing the country. That falls well behind the percentage saying health care (26 percent), immigration (23 percent) or the economy (18 percent) topped their list.

Trump’s foreign policy has alarmed longtime allies and spurred criticism at home. A January AP-NORC survey found that 35 percent of Americans approve of the president on foreign policy, while 63 percent disapprove.

Trump’s slated second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next week will provide a fresh opportunity for the president to rebound or fall further, as well as for his Democratic would-be opponents to draw sharp contrasts with his self-pro-

claimed “America First” diplomacy.

But that doesn’t mean that Democrats, who are sorting through the most diverse and wide-open primary field in a generation, will warm to a Biden campaign focused on foreign policy.

“He’s got the experience, but I don’t want him to run,” said Julie Neff, of Ankeny, Iowa, home to the nation’s first caucus. “I would vote for a ticket that promised to put Biden in the Cabinet, like as secretary of state.”

Biden’s potential 2020 rivals are working to build their own foreign policy credentials, even if they’ve yet to spend a lot of time touting them to voters. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren this month proposed legislation that would prevent the United States from using nuclear weapons as a first-strike option, saying she wants to “reduce the chances of a nuclear miscalculation.” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has helped lead the charge on Capitol Hill to extricate the nation from the violent civil war in Yemen.

Yet Democratic candidates have generally avoided specifics when criticizing Trump’s foreign policy, in part because voters often press them on other topics.

In a series of Harris town halls in South Carolina and New Hampshire — her first events in both states as a declared candidate — voters did not question her on foreign policy, instead focusing on a range of domestic issues including health care, education and labor.

In Iowa Saturday, that changed, when a man asked Harris to explain her approach to the war in Yemen.

Mueller: Manafort ‘brazenly violated the law’ Patriots owner Kraft

By CHAD DAY and ERIC TUCKER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort committed crimes that cut to “the heart of the criminal justice system” and over the years deceived everyone from bookkeepers and banks to federal prosecutors and his own lawyers, according to a sentencing memo filed Saturday by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office.

In the memo, submitted in one of two criminal cases Manafort faces, prosecutors do not yet take a position on how much prison time he should serve or whether to stack the punishment on top of a separate sentence he will soon receive in a Virginia prosecution. But they do depict Manafort as a longtime and unrepentant criminal who committed “bold” crimes, including under the spotlight of his role as campaign chairman and later while on bail, and who does not deserve any leniency.

“For over a decade, Manafort repeatedly and brazenly violated the law,” prosecutors wrote. “His crimes continued up through the time he was first indicted in October 2017 and remarkably went unabated even after indictment.”

Citing Manafort’s lies to the FBI, several government

agencies and his own lawyer, prosecutors said that “upon release from jail, Manafort presents a grave risk of recidivism.”

The 25-page memo, filed in federal court in Washington, is likely the last major filing by prosecutors as Manafort heads into his sentencing hearings next month and as Mueller’s investigation approaches a conclusion. Manafort, who has been jailed for months and turns 70 in April, will have a chance to file his own sentencing recommendation next week.

He and his longtime business partner, Rick Gates, were the first two people indicted in the special counsel’s investigation. Overall, Mueller has produced charges against 34 individuals, including six former Trump aides, and three companies.

Manafort’s case has played out in stark contrast to those of other defendants in the Russia investigation, such as former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who prosecutors praised for his cooperation and left open the possibility of no jail time.

Manafort pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy arising from his Ukrainian political consulting work and his efforts to tamper with witnesses. As part of that plea, he agreed to cooperate with Mueller’s team, a move that could have helped him avoid a longer prison sentence. But within weeks, prosecutors say he repeatedly lied to investigators, including about his interactions with Konstantin Kilimnik, a business associate who the U.S. says has ties to Russian intelligence. That deception voided the plea deal.

The sentencing memo comes as Manafort, who led Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign for several critical months, is already facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison in a separate tax and bank fraud case in Virginia. Mueller’s team endorsed a sentence of between 19.5 and 24.5 years in prison in that case.

Prosecutors note that the federal guidelines recommend a sentence of more than 17 years, but Manafort pleaded guilty last year to two felony counts that carry maximum sentences of five years each.

Prosecutors originally filed a sealed sentencing memo on Friday, but the document was made public on Saturday with certain information still redacted, or blacked out.

In recent weeks, court papers have revealed that Manafort shared polling data related to the Trump campaign with Kilimnik. A Mueller prosecutor also said earlier this month that an August 2016 meeting between Manafort and Kilimnik goes to the “heart” of the Russia probe. The meeting involved a discussion of a Ukrainian peace plan, but prosecutors haven’t said exactly what has captured their attention and whether it factors into the Kremlin’s attempts to help Trump in the 2016 election.

denies charges of soliciting prostitute

By TERRY SPENCER and JOSHUA REPLOGLE Associated Press

JUPITER, Fla. — Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots, faces charges of soliciting a prostitute after he was twice videotaped in a sex act at a shopping-center massage parlor in Florida, police said Friday.

The 77-year-old Kraft denied any wrongdoing. The case comes amid a crackdown on sex trafficking from Palm Beach to Orlando in which police planted cameras in massage parlors.

Kraft was not immediately arrested. Jupiter police said a warrant will be issued and his attorneys will be notified.

They said details about the misdemeanor charges against the owner of the Super Bowl champion team will not be released until next week.

Hundreds of arrest warrants have been issued in recent days as a result of the six-month investigation, and more are expected. Ten spas have been closed, and several people have been taken into custody on sex trafficking charges.

Jupiter Police Chief Daniel Kerr said he was shocked to

learn that Kraft, who is worth $6 billion, was paying for sex inside a shopping-center massage parlor, the Orchids of Asia Day Spa. “We are as equally stunned as everyone else,” Kerr said.

Most people charged for the first time with soliciting a prostitute in Florida are allowed to enter a diversion program, said attorney David Weinstein, a former prosecutor. Kraft would probably have to perform 100 hours of community service and attend a course on the harmful effects of prostitution and sex trafficking, he said.

The arrest could also get Kraft in trouble with the NFL, which in a statement said only that it is “aware of the ongoing law enforcement matter and will continue to monitor developments.”

Under league policy, players, owners, coaches and other employees can be punished for “conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in” the NFL. “Ownership and club or league management have traditionally been held to a higher standard and will be subject to more significant discipline,” the policy says.

Maduro’s opponents brave tear gas in push to deliver aid

By CHRISTINE ARMARIO and LUIS ANDRES HENAO Associated Press

CUCUTA, Colombia — A U.S.-backed campaign to force President Nicolas Maduro from power met strong resistance Saturday from Venezuelan security forces who fired tear gas on protesters trying to deliver humanitarian aid from Colombia and Brazil, leaving two people dead and some 300 injured.

Throughout the turbulent day, as police and protesters squared off on two bridges connecting Venezuela to Colombia, opposition leader Juan Guaido made repeated calls for the military to join him in the fight against Madu-

appear to dent the higher command’s continued loyalty to Maduro’s socialist government.

In one dramatic high point, a group of activists led by exiled lawmakers managed to escort three flatbed trucks of aid past the halfway point into Venezuela when they were repelled by security forces.

Colombian side of the bridge.

“They burned the aid and fired on their own people,” said 39-year-old David Hernandez, who was hit in the forehead with a tear gas canister that left a bloody wound and growing welt. “That’s the definition of dictatorship.”

For weeks, U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration and its regional allies have been amassing emergency food and medical supplies on three of Venezuela’s borders with the aim of launching a “humanitarian avalanche.” It comes exactly one month after Guaido, in a direct challenge to Maduro’s rule, declared himself interim president at an outdoor rally.

Even as the 35-year-old lawmaker has won the backing

of more than 50 governments around the world, he’s so far been unable to cause a major rift inside the military — Maduro’s last-remaining plank of support in a country ravaged by hyperinflation and widespread shortages.

Amid the standoff, Guaido was turning to diplomatic actions.

As night fell, he refrained from asking supporters to continue risking their lives and make another attempt to break the government’s barricades.

Instead, he said he would meet U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Monday in Colombia’s capital at an emergency meeting of mostly conservative Latin American governments to discuss Venezuela’s crisis.

Parents of 13 plead guilty to torture, abuse

By AMY TAXIN Associated Press

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — As prosecutors brought charges of cruelty and torture against a California couple who had shackled and starved their children for years, they had two goals in mind: Punish the perpetrators and ensure they could never victimize those 13 children in any way again.

On Friday they appeared to prevail on both counts as David and Louise Turpin

pleaded guilty to 14 criminal charges in a deal prosecutors say will likely keep them in prison for the rest of their lives. At the same time, it will keep their children from the trauma of having to testify at a criminal trial that until Friday’s guilty pleas was scheduled to begin in September.

“Part of our job is to seek and get justice. But it’s also to protect the victims from further harm,” Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin said after the

couple entered their pleas.

Louise Turpin’s face reddened, and she wept during the hearing as her husband remained stoic.

The couple, scheduled to be sentenced to life in prison on April 13, won’t be eligible for parole for at least 25 years, meaning David Turpin, 57, and his 50-year-old wife are likely to die there.

“The defendants ruined lives, so I think it’s just and fair that the sentence be equivalent to first-degree murder,” Hestrin said.

Salzetti, Homer girls take home honors Peninsula coaches laud performances, weather, conditions at state ski meet Staff report Peninsula Clarion

Kenai Central senior Maria Salzetti earned first-place honors among small-schools skiers Friday at the state ski meet at Birch Hill in Fairbanks, while the Homer girls were the top small-schools team when the meet wrapped up with relays Saturday.

The second day of the three-day meet featured freestyle skiing with a mass start. The girls did 7.5 kilometers and Salzetti led all smallschools finishers by taking 22nd overall at 27 minutes, 44 seconds.

Homer’s Autumn Daigle was the second small-schools skier, taking 28th in 28:19.

The race was won by West Valley’s Kendall Kramer — also the skimeister — in 23:37, while West won the team battle.

Salzetti also led all peninsula finishers in Friday’s race and in the skimeister standings, which

total Thursday’s classic and Friday’s race. The senior also was the top small-schools athlete on the skimeister roll, though there is not an official award for that.

“She’s just super pumped,” Kenai Central coach Brad Nyquist said. “She’s kind of flying high right now.

“She’s worked so hard for four years. She trains in the offseason.

She’s an all-around hard-working kid academically and athletically, and it’s nice to see it all come to fruition.”

Salzetti headlined a day that had Nyquist and Soldotna assistant coach Dan Harbison very pleased with their skiers. The day broke cold but blossomed into excellent racing on the hilly tracks at Birch Hills.

“My kids are just finding a groove,” Nyquist said. “They haven’t had a lot of racing and they’re getting into the idea of what racing is.

“There’s more quick tempo and they’re pushing themselves into that hurt a little bit.”

Nyquist said his girls team got great leadership from Salzetti and senior Mickinzie Ticknor, who was 65th. Then Kenai had four freshmen in Summer Foster (55th), Leah Fallon (58th), Gabriella Tewes (77th) and Elizabeth Moffett (85th). Nyquist said Foster and Fallon had their strongest skate races of the year. Kenai was 12th in the team times.

Soldotna again bunched its finishers with Katie Delker in 39th, Hannah Delker in 40th, Erika Arthur in 45th, Isabella Dammeyer in 48th, Sonora Martin in 51st and Cameron Blackwell in 70th. The SoHi girls were 11th, while Homer was ninth.

“We’re really happy with what our girls accomplished up here,” Harbison said. “Maybe we didn’t catch Homer, and that was one of our goals, but the Homer girls are

really good, and we’re happy for them.”

The coach said both the Delkers had outstanding races, while Dammeyer probably had her best race ever. Arthur recovered for a solid finish after crashing during the race.

In addition to Daigle, Homer received a 38th from Zoe Stonorov, 42nd from Katia Holmes, 54th from Brita Restad, 69th from Sienna Carey and 70th from Aiyana Cline.

Sadie Lindquist led Seward in 53rd, while Lucy Hankins was 85th for the Seahawks.

In the boys 10-kilometer freestyle, the SoHi boys had another adventurous and successful day.

Success came from Jeremy Kupferschmid leading the peninsula in the skimeister standings at 28th, and Bradley Walters leading the peninsula in the mass start at 28th after a frustrating Thursday caused by a broken binding.

South’s Zanden McMullen — also the skimeister — won the 10K in 25:56, while Walters was at 30:09. West Valley was the top team.

SoHi was 10th as a team even with Lance Chilton breaking his binding in a crash. He managed for a kilometer before he got a ski that was a foot longer than his other ski.

“The boys were having a great race until it all went south,” Harbison said. “They hung together and in the end did really well.”

Kupferschmid was 32nd while Jack Harris — who also crashed — was 46th. Harbison said Joseph Dammeyer did a great job putting in a big effort to move up after Chilton crashed. Foster Boze stuck on Dammeyer’s tail and passed him at the end. Boze was 61st, while Dammeyer was 66th.

Chilton came back to finish 68th.

SoHi sweeps Kenai

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Separated for the first time by different classes based on school size, the Kenai Central and Soldotna basketball programs showed Saturday afternoon that rivalries still matter.

On Kenai’s home floor, Cliff Massie Court, the Stars boys and girls swept their way to nonconference victories, with the SoHi girls escaping with a 52-38

win and the SoHi boys pulling out a 52-40 triumph.

Kenai dropped most of its sports programs down to the Class 3A level last fall after school population differences determined Kenai was better suited for the division while Soldotna stayed at 4A. The energy was still just as strong as the crowd size proved.

“We’re always ready to go,” said SoHi senior Brittani Blossom. “We play up

for each other.”

“They bring it every single night against us,” added SoHi junior Jersey Truesdell. “Every time we play, it’s going to be a good game.

“A great example is (Kenai guard Andrew) Bezdecny. When he moved in eighth grade, he didn’t know anybody, and now he shows up and it’s a rivalry already.”

Bears split 2 with Springfield Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The visiting Kenai River Brown Bears defeated the Springfield (Illinois) Jr. Blues 4-1 on Friday and lost 8-0 on Saturday in the first two games of a pivotal three-game series.

With just 14 games to play, Kenai River is 13 points behind Springfield for the final playoff spot in the North American Hockey League Midwest Division.

The Jr. Blues have 13 games left.

The Bears are 17-24-32 and also play Springfield (24-19-3-1) on Sunday with a chance to make up more ground.

“We’ve been focusing on the process, just periodto-period hockey,” Kenai River interim head coach Dan Bogdan said. “Yes, it’s pretty much a must-win series, but we want the guys to stay in the moment.”

The reason Kenai River is fighting for its playoff life is due to trouble scoring goals. After Friday’s game, the Bears were tied for the second-lowest goal total in the league, denting the net just 2.3 times per game.

Kenai River’s defense is tied for eighth in the league, though, making the Bears dangerous when they put the puck in the net like on Friday. Kenai River had earned 11 points in its last seven games through Friday, averaging three goals per game during that time.

“Really, it’s just having the guys play a little looser,” said Bogdan, who is assisted by Justin Adams.

“Instead of rushing with the puck, take your time and make a decision.

“One thing we talked about as a coaching staff, Justin and I, is not to be afraid to make a mistake.

Just go for it.”

ACS basketball sweeps Bulldogs Nikiski girls come back Saturday to top Grizzlies

Points piled up on the Nikiski High School gym scoreboard Friday night at a pace rarely seen, and when the dust settled, the Anchorage Christian Schools basketball teams were walking away with victories in hand.

The ACS boys capped the night with a 98-44 Southcentral Conference victory over Nikiski, following up a dominant 86-56 win by the ACS girls over Nikiski.

The girls matchup featured two of the top girls teams in the conference going head to head, but the Lions pulled out an early lead and comfortably led before sealing it with a big second half splurge to add to the Lions’ superlative 17-0 season (19-0 including forfeited

games by opponents).

Nikiski suffered only its third loss of the season, sitting at 19-3 overall and 8-1 in conference after a 77-56 home victory over Grace on Saturday. Bethany Carstens had 36 points on eight 3-pointers, while Emma Wik and Kelsey Clark each had 11 points. For Grace, Tessa Binder had 30 and Grace Salima had 12.

At the end of Friday night, Bulldogs head coach Rustin Hitchcock felt like the team held up well and soaked up some valuable knowledge for the conference tournament.

“That was not a 30-point game at all,” he said. “We shredded their press.”

Penguins, Flyers take it outside

By The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Claude Giroux scored 1:59 into overtime and the Philadelphia Flyers scored three straight goals in the rain to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on a soggy Saturday night at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Flyers and Penguins took one of the NHL’s more heated rivalries outdoors and into prime time as part of the Stadium Series showcase. The rink needed a squeegee more than a Zamboni, but nearly 70,000 fans stuck around the home of the Eagles to watch the Flyers play the marquee game on their schedule.

SABRES 5, CAPITALS 2 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Sam Reinhart scored three goals and Buffalo snapped a four-game skid with a victory over Washington.

Jack Eichel had two assists in picking up his 66th point — two more than the fourth-year player’s career high set last season. Rookie Rasmus Dahlin and Jason Pominville also scored for the Sabres.

RANGERS 5, DEVILS 2 NEW YORK — Ryan Strome had two goals and Chris Kreider and Jimmy Vesey each had a goal and an assist as New York beat New Jersey.

Brady Skjei also scored, Mika Zibanejad and Pavel Buchnevich each had two assists, and Alexandar Georgiev made 19 saves for the Rangers.

Andy Super was 73rd for Homer.

Saturday again saw sun and pleasant temperatures for Fairbanks, with the air at about 10 degrees at race time.

The Homer girls finished ninth in the three-day team totals, with West taking the title. The Mariners really shined in Saturday’s 4-by3-kilometer relay, with the first two legs classic and the second two legs freestyle.

The team of Holmes, Restad, Stonorov and Daigle finished seventh at 41:27, while West won at 36:36. The result had Mariners head coach Alyson O’Hara smiling at the end of the day. “(Restad) had a fabulous race, possibly her best race ever,” O’Hara said. “And Autumn looked like she could’ve done another four laps.”

O’Hara said while the Homer

boys team did not have enough racers to form a complete varsity team, she hopes the weekend experience will attract more athletes to the program for future years.

“We’re all super excited, and these guys worked so hard,” O’Hara said. “They totally deserve it. We have a very small team but our top four girls are all so solid, and other small-school teams have a top one or two skier, but we just have four that are super solid.”

Soldotna’s team of senior Hannah Delker and sophomores Martin, Arthur and Katie Delker was 10th at 41:39.

“The girls just had a spectacular race today,” Harbison said. “They closed the gap significantly on Palmer and Homer. It still wasn’t enough and they ended up 10th, but the gap was very narrow.”

The coach said the race was the best of both worlds, with Hannah Delker going out strong and the sophomores getting great race experience.

“The problem was they missed lots of big races this year because we didn’t have them due to weather,” Harbison said. “They miss out on the longer distances, and that begins to affect your training.”

The Kenai girls team of Ticknor, Summer Foster, Fallon and Salzetti was 13th at 44:46.

The Soldotna boys were 10th in the three-day team totals but moved up to eighth in the relay.

West Valley won both the threeday team time and the relay.

The Stars had been plagued by misfortune due to gear malfunctions and crashes the first two days.

“Each one of them had a really good race and there were no mishaps at all,” Harbison said. “We finally got to see what they could actually do.”

The coach said it was nice to see senior Kupferschmid go out with a solid leg, while juniors Chilton, Harris and Walters got valuable inspiration for the future.

The Kenai boys team of Josh Foster, Roberts, Summers and Hippchen was 14th, matching their finish in the three-day team times.

Allie Ostrander won the 3,000-meter run, setting a meet record in the process, Saturday at the Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships in Albu-

. . . Bears Continued from page B1

Bogdan said the forwards are doing more than just scoring goals. He said they are backchecking and forechecking very well, leading to turnovers and more scoring chances.

Eagle River’s Connor Canterbury got the scoring started 8 minutes, 22 seconds, into the game with help from Logan Ritchie.

The shot from the point through traffic was the first NAHL goal for Canterbury.

Ben Schmidling tied it for Springfield less than two minutes later.

In the second period, the Bears took control when Michael Spethmann scored on an assist from Andy

querque, New Mexico.

Ostrander, a 2015 graduate of Kenai Central, passed New Mexico’s Charlotte Prouse entering the final lap and held on to take the sixth Mountain West indoor title of her career, including relays. Her meet-record time

is 9 minutes, 11.61 seconds.

The Boise State redshirt junior also took second in the mile Saturday. Ostrander and teammate Alexis Fuller went out with New Mexico’s Weini Kelati, but Kelati was able to take control of the race.

Kelati, a sophomore, won at 4:37.75, smashing the meet record of 4:42.33. Ostrander (4:41.38) and Fuller (4:42.11) also were under the meet record.

The Boise State women finished fifth at the meet with 62 points.

With 4:39 left in the game, Spethmann iced it with help from Markuss Komuls and Krajnik.

Gavin Enright stopped 23 for the Bears, while Janis Voris saved 21 for the Jr. Blues. In the third period, Jr. Blues leading scorer Brandon Puricelli had what looked like a sure goal to cut the gap to 3-2, but Enright reached back across the crease to deny Puricelli.

Bogdan said the save should

be the top play of the week in the NAHL. Saturday, the Jr. Blues came back to dominate the Bears, with Nikita Kozyrev netting a hat trick and Puricelli getting three assists. Enright had 30 saves, while Jack Williams stopped all 23 for the Jr. Blues.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2019. There are 310 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 24, 1942, the SS Struma, a charter ship attempting to carry nearly 800 Jewish refugees from Romania to British-mandated Palestine, was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine in the Black Sea; all but one of the refugees perished.

On this date: In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII issued an edict outlining his calendar reforms. (The Gregorian Calendar is the calendar in general use today.)

In 1761, Boston lawyer James Otis Jr. went to court to argue against “writs of assistance” that allowed British customs officers to arbitrarily search people’s premises, declaring: “A man’s house is his castle.” (Although Otis lost the case, his statement provided early inspiration for American independence.)

In 1868, the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Andrew Johnson by a vote of 126-47 following his attempted dismissal of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; Johnson was later acquitted by the Senate.

In 1920, the German Workers Party, which later became the Nazi Party, met in Munich to adopt its platform.

In 1955, the Cole Porter musical “Silk Stockings” opened at the Imperial Theater on Broadway.

In 1961, the Federal Communications Commission authorized the nation’s first full-scale trial of pay television in Hartford, Connecticut.

In 1983, a congressional commission released a report condemning the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II as a “grave injustice.”

In 1988, in a ruling that expanded legal protections for parody and satire, the Supreme Court unanimously overturned a $150,000 award that the Rev. Jerry Falwell had won against Hustler magazine and its publisher, Larry Flynt.

In 1989, a state funeral was held in Japan for Emperor Hirohito, who had died the month before at age 87.

In 1994, entertainer Dinah Shore died in Beverly Hills, California, five days before turning 78.

In 1996, Cuba downed two small American planes operated by the group Brothers to the Rescue that it claimed were violating Cuban airspace; all four pilots were killed.

In 2008, Cuba’s parliament named Raul Castro president, ending nearly 50 years of rule by his brother Fidel.

Ten years ago: In the first prime-time speech of his term, President Barack Obama appeared before Congress to sketch an agenda that began with jobs, then broadened quickly to include a stable credit system, better schools, health care reform, reliable domestic sources of energy and an end to the war in Iraq. Earlier in the day, President Obama held an 80-minute private talk with Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso. Five years ago: Despite Western pressure, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed an anti-gay bill that punished gay sex with up to life in prison. Writer-director-actor Harold Ramis, 69, died in Glencoe, Illinois. “Late Night with Seth Meyers” premiered on NBC. One year ago: The U.N. Security Council unanimously demanded a 30-day cease-fire across Syria to deliver humanitarian aid and evacuate the wounded, as the death toll reached 500 from a Syrian bombing campaign in the rebel-held suburbs of Damascus. (The cease-fire failed to take hold.) The body of the Rev. Billy Graham arrived at the library bearing his name in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Graham would lie in repose for two days. At the Winter Olympics in South Korea, American men won the gold medal in curling in a decisive upset of Sweden; it was only the second curling medal in U.S. history.

from the foul line to lead the Bulldogs, and Wik chipped in 12.

Jordan Todd led the charge with 21 points for ACS, while teammate Mykaila Pickard dropped in 19 and Mary Kate Parks notched 17.

ACS head coach Chad Dyson said the team has built an identity on defense this year, and the defensive press helped fuel the offense.

“The game plan for us is defense, and I thought we executed well defensively,” Dyson said. “Could’ve done a better job rotating a couple times, but that’s something we’ll work on and get better for next time.”

And as far as playing the reigning Class 3A Player of the Year in Carstens, Dyson said no particular attention was paid to Nikiski’s star player.

“We usually put a defender on her,” Dyson said.

“But we just treat her like anyone else.”

Hitchcock said he was pleased with his team’s effort and execution, noting that they just ran into a buzzsaw of a Class 3A girls program.

“At no point did I feel like we stopped competing,” Hitchcock said. “They just happened to have more runs and a better shooting night than we did.

“They’re probably the No. 1 team in the state.”

The Lions jumped out to a 17-6 lead on Nikiski, but the Bulldogs stuck around in the second quarter with

tough defense keeping ACS honest. Nikiski’s defensive press was able to answer the ferocity of the Lions, and once the Bulldogs began getting turnovers, the offense began to click as well.

Carstens drained a triple with 4:23 left in the first half to cut the ACS lead to 29-20, then scored on consecutive drives in transition to cut the lead to 31-24.

However, ACS finished the first half on a 9-3 spurt, starting with a trey by Parks with 2:13 to go. A layup nearly at the buzzer by Reimers put ACS ahead 40-27 at halftime.

The momentum continued for the Lions in the third quarter with a 16-3 run to begin the second half.

Pickard connected on three 3s during that span to key the spurt, which all but iced the game for ACS. The Lions led 61-37 entering the fourth quarter.

The boys game was highlighted by Lions senior Orlando Lozano, who torched the Bulldogs with 36 points, including 10 3-pointers.

“He shot well, but he’s a good shooter,” said ACS head coach Zack Madren.

“Sometimes he can really fill it up, and tonight he was doing that.”

ACS improved to 6-0 in conference and 17-2 overall, while Nikiski dropped to 4-5 and 6-14 overall after a 52-39 loss to Grace Christian on Saturday.

After a three-game conference win streak earlier in the season, the Bulldogs are on a skid with five straight losses to SCC opponents.

Saturday, Turner Goforth had 17 points for Grace,

their fifth straight to jump to 21-2 overall, while Kenai dropped to 15-8. On the boys side, Soldotna improved to 12-9 overall while Kenai dropped to 12-10.

The Kardinals will get another crack at the Stars in just two days when Kenai visits SoHi Tuesday night.

Kenai shadowed Soldotna all the way in the girls game. A trey by Jaycie Calvert with 3:42 left in the game cut SoHi’s lead to 41-35, but the Stars had one last surge in them.

Ituau Tuisaula kick-started an 11-0 run that sealed the victory with consecutive drives to the rim for baskets, then Blossom netted the dagger with a 3-pointer with 2:27 left, and SoHi’s six-point lead had suddenly ballooned to 13. Blossom’s trey was set up by a steal from Danica Schmidt that eventually found its way to Blossom at the arc.

Blossom and Tuisaula combined to score all 11 points in the SoHi run, which ended with a putback by Tuisaula with 1:11 left.

“We just finally started playing our game,” said SoHi head coach Kyle McFall. “Kenai does a good job of getting you out of your game, and they have done that to us for the last couple years, and they did that for the first 28 minutes of that game.

“And finally we got going back in our game.”

Blossom scored nine of her 15 points in the fourth quarter, while teammate Ituau Tuisaula led SoHi with 20 points and Aliann Schmidt notched 10.

while Nathan Ivanoff had 12 and Andrew Beck had 10. For Nikiski, Jace Kornstad had 15 and Cody Handley had 11.

Nikiski head coach Reid Kornstad said he worked with his team to get back in transition to contain ACS, but when the opposition is hitting everything they put up, it became a long night.

“They’ve been working at 6 a.m. every morning shooting those 3s,” Kornstad said. “It’s no surprise.

They’re highly committed to becoming good shooters, and that’s what we saw.”

Overall, ACS hit 14 total shots from beyond the arc.

Lozano put on a show in the second quarter, sinking six 3s to score 22 of his team’s 36 points in the quarter. Lozano routinely connected on 3s in transition, either pulling up for a shot or receiving an assist from a teammate driving to the rim

Brooke Satathite led Kenai’s attack with 13 points.

Kardinals head coach Cary Calvert didn’t provide many answers to what went wrong for Kenai, but he did give credit to Tuisaula’s effectiveness in the post.

“Ituau wore us out,” Calvert said. “And SoHi has no holes, no weaknesses. It seemed to go from a six-point game to 15 overnight.”

Before the late run by SoHi, Kenai never trailed by more than nine points, and much of that was due to Satathite’s post presence and Jaycie Calvert’s deadly longrange shooting.

At halftime, SoHi’s lead was 28-21, which then became 35-30 after three quarters.

In the boys game, Kenai was up 36-35 late in the third quarter before the Stars staged a furious 12-0 run to distance themselves.

“We were stuck on 36 (points) for quite awhile there,” said Kenai head coach Ken Felchle.

Truesdell proved to be a difference-maker for SoHi with 29 points, including five 3s. Truesdell tallied seven points in the SoHi run, then buried a 3-pointer with 3:40 to go in the game to effectively nail the door shut. The long shot put SoHi up 50-38.

“I think it was just our poise on the offensive end,” Truesdell said.

“Being able to move the ball and not turn it over. We’ve been a team that’s come out flat and have had to fight back, so it’s a huge step to come out and play good throughout the game.”

Stars head coach Nolan Rose praised Truesdell’s showing.

“He’s been doing that all year,” Rose said. “He’s kind of our go-to guy. He’s able to make something out of nothing a lot of times, that the

Rose added that the SoHi defense came up with a few key stops down the stretch when they needed it most, while the offense kept a strong handle on the ball on the other end of the court.

“Defensively, we weren’t that good in the first half, and once we got locked in, we got some separation,” Rose said. “You’re going to go through slumps offensively, so defense becoming consistent for us is what we’ve hung our hat on all year.”

The Stars also had Ray Chumley back for a second straight game after missing games to injury. Chumley notched nine points against Kenai.

Kenai came out with a 14-9 lead in the first quarter thanks to strong movement by Bezdecny, who had five points after sinking a trey with 2:32 left.

Truesdell, however, brought SoHi right back into it with a pair of 3s in the final 48 seconds of the opening quarter to give the Stars a 17-14 edge.

Kenai bumped its lead back to 26-22 late in the second quarter, but Truesdell again swapped it in favor of SoHi with a triple that helped put the Stars in the lead 2926 at halftime.

In the third quarter, Tyrone McEnerney hit his second trey of the game, then was followed

by Trujillo’s putback bucket with 2:48 left in the third to give Kenai a 36-35 advantage, but Truesdell kicked off the final big run by SoHi with a long shot at the 2:26 mark of the frame.

Some favourite garden vegetables attract pollinators, too

Planting clumps of bright, successively blooming flowers is a popular method for attracting foraging pollinators like bees and butterflies. But savvy vegetable and fruit growers know flowering edibles will entice them, too.

Ornamental shrubs, trees, crops and vines will bring pollinators to your yard while at the same time provide nourishment for the family table.

Bees and many other species transfer pollen grains and seeds from one flower to another, fertilizing plants so they can thrive and produce food. The pollinators, in turn, are rewarded with the plants’ sugary nectars.

“When we think of our diet, the rule of thumb is that one out of every three bites we take is dependent upon pollinators,” said Ed Spevak, who manages the St. Louis Zoo’s Center for Native Pollination. It was among the nation’s first zoos to have a dedicated invertebrate department.

“When you want flavour, colour and nutrition, then you really need to start thinking about bees and all the services they perform for our diets,” Spevak said.

Familiarize yourself with the pollinators common in your area and learn which plants they prefer.

“Some bee species are active only in the spring or maybe just the summer, while others are active all season long, such as bumblebees and honeybees,” said Frank Drummond, a professor of insect ecology at the University of Maine. “This relates to when you need to have plants flowering in your garden.”

Some bees are generalists while others specialize in the types of blooms they seek.

“It is really an evolutionary thing,” Drummond said.

“Specialists usually have a very unique anatomy (specific tongue length and body size) and behaviours that have been fine-tuned over many generations, while generalists have anatomy and behaviours that allow them to be less efficient across all flower species.”

Many pollinator species are in decline or disappearing because of habitat and forage losses, improper pesticide use, disease and parasites.

“Honeybees get all the press but are not in danger,” Spevak said. “It’s the native bees and bumblebees that are disappearing.”

Install pollinator-friendly habitat if you want to help rebuild pollinator populations, he said. Many native plants that can support the increasingly endangered Monarch butterfly population also will help native bees, he said.

“You’ll become a conservationist by planting a native garden with plants that provide a healthy diet,” he said.

When landscaping to lure pollinators, it’s really about flower diversity, not abundance, Spevak said. “If you’re a tomato grower, for example, it would behoove you to recruit bumblebees and wild bees rather than honeybees,” he said. “They’re much better pollinators for those plants.”

Other typical pairings of edible plants and pollinators include: — Squash, pumpkins, melons — squash bees, carpenter bees.

— Lowbush blueberries, blackberries and raspberries — bumblebees, sweat bees, mining bees, digger bees, mason bees.

— Almonds — honeybees, bumblebees, mason bees.

— Tomatoes — bumblebees, sweat bees, carpenter bees.

— Thyme — bumblebees, honeybees, digger bees, mason bees, sweat bees, yellow-faced bees.

Pollinators other than bees include hummingbirds, tropical bats, moths, flies, ants, hornets and beetles.

Many of these are inadvertent pollinators.

“These are animals that visit flowers sometimes to feed on their resources such as oils, nectar, pollen or petals and in doing so sometimes pollinate the flower,” Drummond said.

Good design in everyday products is focus of MoMA exhibit

By Katherine Roth THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — From early Tupperware containers to Chemex coffee makers to sleek midcentury modern furniture, a new show at the Museum of Modern Art explores the democratizing and uplifting potential of design in everyday life.

“The Value of Good Design” opened Feb. 10 and runs through June 15 at the museum, which is preparing to close its doors temporarily this summer before opening a newly expanded campus later in the year.

The exhibit takes a fresh look at everything from domestic furnishings and appliances to ceramics, glass, electronics, transport design, sporting goods, toys and graphics. It focuses on household goods designed in the ’40s and ’50s as part of MoMA’s Good Design initiatives, which included competitions, exhibits, TV shows, educational programs and even three fully furnished houses built in the Museum Garden.

Selections of good design were toured by MoMA nationally — to schools, libraries, colleges — and internationally.

MoMA’s initiatives championed well-designed, affordable, contemporary products. They gave young designers a platform, and helped launch the careers of Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames and other famous designers.

Winning designs of the competitions, which also were held by other major art museums such as the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and the Detroit Institute of Arts, were then promoted in department stores, featured in magazines and strategically placed in television shows.

“To me good design is simply art applied to living,” the show quotes Dorothy Shaver, president of the Lord and Taylor department store, as saying at the 1950 launch of Good Design, a five-year collaboration between MoMA and the Chicago Merchandise Mart that entailed annual exhibits in New York and Chicago.

Designs for a huge range of home goods were evaluated on appearance, function, construction and price.

The show reveals the way household design was

embraced not only by museums and stores, but also by governments during the Cold War as a tool of social and economic reconstruction and technological advancement. At one point, MoMA collaborated with the State Department to circulate American designs for everyday household products there was a vibrant international exchange of ideas, with designs from other countries being shown in the U.S. while American designs were promoted overseas, according to the exhibit.

As you walk through the expansive gallery space, the neutrals and browns of the 1940s give way to the brightly colored chairs and textiles of the ’50s.

Many of the objects were so well-designed that they continue to feel contemporary today, and can still be found in many homes.

The exhibit begins with a simple broomstick, for example, hung on the wall as a work of art. Nearby is a large glass case including, among other objects,

an axe, with its carefully designed balance between the heavy blade and the gently curved wooden handle. Also featured are bath mitts and a whisk.

“People smile as they encounter things they’ve handled and used,” says Juliet Kinchin, curator in the museum’s department of architecture and design, who organized the exhibit with curatorial assistant Andrew Gardner.

“I love the axe. It was absolutely part of the agenda. It wasn’t about fads or fashion, it was about asking people to take a second look at things that are consistently pleasant to use and to look at,” she explains.

The show is divided into two parts: what was happening in design in the U.S. as it rose to become a superpower, and what was happening elsewhere in the world.

Included are promotional videos for some of the items featured, an ad for a tiny Fiat Cinquecento car that is on display, and

a video of Eames products shown in a State Department-sponsored exhibit in Moscow in 1959.

“The idea of good design was an important form of soft power at the time, and continues to resonate today,” Kinchin says.

“Good design is much more than just appearance and it doesn’t happen in a vacuum,” she says. “It doesn’t have to be expensive. And what was good design in the ’50s might not necessarily be good design today. Now, for example, sustainability really would have to be key.

Any notion of good design should reflect the values of the age.”

In one section of the exhibit, visitors are invited to judge designs for themselves by trying out a few Good Design classics still in production, such as a Slinky toy and various styles of desk lamp. They also can evaluate whether new products, such as portable solar-powered lanterns, pass muster as good design.

US home sales tumbled 1.2 percent in January

WASHINGTON — U.S. home sales fell 1.2 percent in January to their worst pace in more than three years, as persistent affordability problems have put a harsh chill in the real estate market.

The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that sales of existing homes declined 1.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.94 million last month, the slowest

sales rate since November 2015.

During the past 12 months, sales have plunged 8.5 percent. Would-be homebuyers are increasingly priced out of the market as years of climbing prices and strained inventories have made ownership too costly. A solid job market has done little to boost sales, with the sharpest annual sales declines being among homes priced less than $250,000.

“January’s weak sales pace was likely the result

of the lingering effects of stock market volatility and lower consumer confidence toward the end of 2018,” said Joel Kan, associate vice president of industry surveys and forecasts at the Mortgage Bankers Association. “Much of the January decrease was in the lower price tiers, which also tends to be where inventory is the tightest.”

Homes are sitting on the market longer, causing inventories to rise. Properties stayed on the market for an average of 49 days, up from 42 a year ago. The number of homes for sale has risen to 1.59 million from 1.52 million a year ago, yet inventories are still tight compared to historic averages.

Still, buyers may find some relief as average mortgage rates have declined this year and price growth has slowed.

The average interest charged on a 30-year, fixed rate mortgage this week was 4.35 percent this

week, down from an average as high as roughly 5 percent last year, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. The median sales price in January was $247,500, a slight increase of 2.8 percent from last year. After eclipsing wage gains for several years, home prices in this report are now increasing at a slower rate than average hourly earnings.

“While the existing home sales numbers were not good, there were some green shoots that open up the possibility of accelerated sales in the spring,” said Robert Frick, a corporate economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. “Price growth continues to slow down, which, together with higher household incomes, is making homes more affordable to more people.”

On a monthly basis, home sales fell in the Midwest, South and West.

Sales increased in the Northeast.

Transform the spaces in your home into cozy retreats

Cool weather often drives people to spend more hours indoors than they do during the warmer months. Autumn is a time to winterize gardens, put away lawn furniture

and prepare for the holiday season. Autumn also provides the perfect opportunity to begin home interior projects.

Many people decide to redecorate their

homes to reflect each season. When temperatures change, it’s time to transition from the light colors and breezy fabrics symbolic of summer to thicker, darker materials that evoke coziness.

With some inspiration and a little know-how, any homeowner or apartment dweller can cozy up a space in time for fall and winter.

• Invest in area rugs.

While wood floors can look beautiful and work well with many different design styles, wood can feel chilly underfoot. Thick area rugs add warmth to a room and can help it look more livedin. Area rugs also help a room appear more cohesive, coordinating with other colors in a space and providing a visual border.

• Practice layering in rooms. An affordable and relatively easy way to make a room seem more cozy is to layer fabrics

and other accents. Layers can include throws and blankets. Remove place mats from the dining room table and use them on accent tables or an ottoman in the living room. Table runners also can add a splash of color to the top of bedroom dressers.

• Play with texture.

Look for fabrics that boast texture and can add a tactile feel to spaces.

When used on throw pillows or small accents, faux fur can create that cozy cabin feel.

Draperies made from nubby fabrics or those with grooves and ridges can add dimension to a room as well. Even a lampshade made of an unusual fabric, such as a waffle-patterned material, can add a little depth and warmth to a space.

• Reevaluate your lighting. Lighting a space is more than just flipping on a switch. Finding the right balance of

lighting fixtures can instantly transform the feel of a room. Create more warmth and a cozy feel by switching out bulbs from cooler shades to warmer ones — those that give off yellow and pink hues rather than cool blues. Accent lighting helps establish a comfortable space for curling up and reading a good book.

Spot lighting, such as fixtures that are trained on artwork or inside of a curio or china cabinet, also can set a more welcoming mood.

• Install a bookshelf and start a book collection. Piles and stacked books can add warmth to any space. Books evoke the hallowed halls of schools and quiet nooks in the library. Fill shelves with books interspersed with additional design accents, and you will instantly make a room feel more inviting.

• Choose dark paint.

Do not feel nervous

about incorporating deeper shades in rooms.

Dark colors give rooms a more enclosed feel than lighter colors, and that can create a warm and cozy feeling. This works particularly well in larger spaces that feel vast and empty. If you’re scared to paint all of your walls, try a darker shade below a chair rail or just paint one accent wall.

• Add architectural elements. Think about adding rich moldings to crown the ceilings or to frame doorways. If you have the space for a nook, create a window seat beneath a picture window or add a bench and cushions in a corner for a nice escape spot.

Use the colder weather as an opportunity to reinvent some of the rooms in your home. With paint, texture, fabric, lighting, and more, rooms can be quickly transformed into cozy respites from the cold.

Compostable ‘bioplastics’ make inroads with consumers

By Katherine Roth THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Looking for an ecofriendly alternative to traditional plastics — especially single-use items like bags, straws and picnic tableware — many supermarkets and vendors are offering an array of compostable alternatives made from plant fibers or starches.

“The market for compostable products is growing at an incredible pace,” says Olga Kachook, sustainability manager for Petaluma, Californiabased World Centric, which makes ones geared mostly toward food services in stadiums, school cafeterias, hotels, restaurants and convention centres.

Those facilities work with industrial composting facilities, which can cut their waste exponentially.

Bioplastics, as the rapidly evolving products are also known, can be made from corn, potatoes, rice, tapioca, palm fiber, wood cellulose, wheat fiber,

sugar, or sometimes even shrimp shells, seaweed or algae. Not all bioplastics are compostable, but those that are can go right into one big industrialcomposting bin along with food waste.

“Ultimately, all households will need to have a three-bin system, for industrial compost, recycling and waste. Consumers and companies are trying hard to identify more sustainable ways of doing things, and compostable products are an important part of the picture,” says Rhodes Yepsen, executive director of the New York-based Biodegradable Products Institute, which offers a certification ensuring that products claiming to be compostable actually are.

Items must be thin enough to be compostable.

Products that are certified compostable either carry BPI’s seal of approval or are listed on the organization’s website.

The number of certified compostable products has

increased by 80 per cent in the past few years, according to BPI. Many of these products, like bags, cups and dishes, are increasingly available in grocery stores.

But compostable technology is still new, and whether or not products are certified, it’s best to check with your local composting facility before adding them to the rest of your organic waste, experts agree.

Melissa Ozawa, gardening and features editor at Martha Stewart Living magazine, says, “The best thing you can do is to use reusables. Keep your own utensils at work, your own tote bag for the grocery store, glass containers for home storage. And if you decide to use bioplastics and don’t have access to a composting facility, consider joining with others in your community to try to get one. They won’t biodegrade in your home garden or in a landfill.”

Yepsen says over 5 million households already have three-bin systems.

“We have a long way to go, but it’s encouraging to think about where recycling was in the ’80s and where it is now,” he says.

“That’s what’s happening now with compostables. It will take some time, but I fully expect in the next 10 to 20 years, most communities will have curbside compost pickup.”

But critics say bioplastics are no silver bullet.

“They’re not as great as they seem at first glance,” says Brett Stevens, global vice-president of material sales and procurement at the recycling company TerraCycle, based in Trenton, New Jersey.

Most households have no access to the industrial composting facilities needed to quickly break down these products, he notes. If they are tossed in with other plastics for recycling, they pollute the recycling stream, and if tossed in the trash, they aren’t much better than traditional plastic.

Compostable products “are renewable in the sense

that they can be grown and regenerated again and again,” writes Tom Szaky, TerraCycle’s CEO, in his book “From Linear to Circular: The Future of Packaging” (2019, BerrettKoehler Publishers).

“What most consumers don’t realize is that biodegradable bioplastics will break down only under the right conditions — those of an industrial composting facility. And even if that happens, they won’t contribute value to the compost, unlike coffee grounds or leaves, which have a wide range of micro- and macronutrients as well as a living ecosystem of bacteria and other microbes,” Szaky says.

If sent to an industrialscale composting facility “with actively managed piles of compost under controlled conditions, and fed a diet of digest microbes,” compostable products will break down in less than two months, says Jeremy Kranowitz, a board member of the nonprofit group Sustainable

America. ” In someone’s backyard compost heap, it could easily take more than a year. If they are accidentally sent to a landfill and buried, it could take over a century. And if they go into a plastics recycling bin, they will contaminate the recycling process.”

Those promoting compostable plastics counter that plastic recycling is already problematic, since only a small fraction of plastic products make it into the recycling stream, and the market for recycled plastics is limited.

They also say that no matter where bioplastics end up, they are more sustainable to produce than traditional plastics, made from fossil fuels. And even detractors admit that if compostable products do end up in oceans, they break down more quickly than traditional plastics.

“It’s complicated,” says Yepsen. “But the composting infrastructure is slowly being built up across the country, and there’s huge potential in this.”

Tips for safeguarding your roofs against snow damage Snow may delight young children itching for a day off from school. But for many homeowners, the sight of snow means their time will soon be spent clearing paths and plowing driveways rather than building snowmen and sledding with friends.

The sight of falling snow also may inspire some homeowners to think about the roofs of their homes. The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety warns that it is important to understand the risk of roof collapse due to the weight of snow on the roof. Roof structures that are in good condition can support roughly 20 pounds per square foot.

IIBHS says this equates to around four feet of new snow before a roof will become stressed.

Total snowfall is not the only factor to consider.

Homeowners also must check the type of snow that has fallen. According to House Logic, six inches of wet snow is equal to the weight of about 38 inches of dry snow. That means it may take much less sodden snow to weigh down a roof.

Roof condition and the shape of the roof bear consideration as well.

Popular Mechanics says the ideal pitched roof is smooth and steep so that the snow slides off. Closely spaced rafters improve the strength of the roof.

A flat or slightly pitched roof may accumulate snow more readily.

Homeowners are urged to inspect roof rafters to see if they are cracked from previous snowstorms

or damaged from insects or rot. Snapping or popping sounds while snow is on the roof is not a good sign.

House Logic also says that homeowners can tell if the snow load on the roof is too much by paying attention to interior doors. If such doors begin to stick, that may be a signal that there’s enough weight on the center of the house to distort the door frames.

Houses that had improper renovations or homes in which load-bearing walls were removed may be more susceptible to this problem.

Removing snow from a roof is not an easy job — and may be a task best left to professionals. The safest way to remove snow from the roof is to use a snow rake with an extension arm that enables users to push and pull off the snow while standing on the ground. One should not climb onto a snowy or icy roof to remove snow.

Shovels, which can damage roof shingles, should never be used.

IIBHS says that hiring a professional roof contractor is one way to safely remove snow from the roof. Licensed and insured contractors will have the experience to get the job done correctly and safely.

Homeowners can expect to pay between $250 and $500 for this job.

Roof snow removal is a priority for those who live in mountainous or extremely snowy areas. If unsafe amounts of snow are left on rooftops, leaks, damage and collapse may result.

Snow on a roof may look idyllic, but too much weight can cause structural damage.

Liz Weston: Are you picking the wrong money goals?

By LIZ WESTON NerdWallet

Setting smart, achievable goals is important if you want to take charge of your financial life. But many of us are surprisingly bad at choosing the goals that actually matter most to us.

Investment research firm Morningstar had 318 people write down their top three financial priorities, then showed them a master list of goals prepared by the researchers.

Three out of four investors changed at least one goal after seeing the master list, and one out of four switched their top priority.

“We were like, ‘Wow. People don’t really know what they want,’” says lead researcher Ray Sin, behavioral scientist at Morningstar.

Other behavioral research has shown that even when people think explicitly about what matters to them when making decisions, they overlook many of their most important

goals. That interferes with their ability to evaluate their choices and consider alternatives.

Among the problems: We’re better at thinking short term than long term, Sin says. Plus, we may overvalue goals that are currently on our mind.

A renter who just attended a housewarming, for example, might say her top priority is saving to buy a home. She may forget that she really wants to be able to quit her job and travel the world for a year.

She probably has other goals as well, such as retiring someday and perhaps starting her own business.

Of course, all those goals may matter to her, but “resources are finite,” Sin says. That’s why prioritizing is so important.

Someone determined to retire early, for instance, may not be able to fully fund a child’s college education or leave an inheritance.

If you want to check for your own blind spots, quickly write down your

three most important financial goals. Then look at Morningstar’s master goal list and see if you want to change what you wrote: — Be better off than my peers — Pay for personal self-improvement (e.g., go back to school, learn a skill) — Experience the excitement of investing.

— Start a new business.

— Buy a house.

— Help pay for my kids’ college education.

— Stop working and do something I love.

— Go on a dream vacation.

— Relocate in retirement.

— Care for my aging parents.

— Give to charity or other causes I care about.

— Feel secure about my finances in retirement.

— Feel secure about my finances now.

— Leave an inheritance to my loved ones.

— Retire early.

— Pay for future medical expenses.

— Avoid becoming a financial burden to my family as I grow older.

— Manage my debt.

Something you may notice about this list: Many of the goals involve feelings. Goals that resonate on an emotional level can help people maintain the discipline they need to stick with a financial plan, says Ryan O. Murphy, head of decision sciences at Morningstar Investment Management.

“When it starts to become more emotional, it becomes more personal,” Murphy says. “This abstract thing of ‘save more money for later’ may not be a goal that really gets people to move now, today.”

Even the goals that don’t seem emotional, like managing debt , can be transformed into something more powerful if you consider the feelings around them. Paying down debt can make you feel more comfortable and secure and less stressed, for example.

Morningstar researcher Samantha Lamas, a recent college graduate who just started paying her student loans, has firsthand experience with goal blind spots.

Lamas initially thought paying off her debt was her top priority, but during the study realized that saving for retirement was important as well. Accelerating her student loan payments might have meant missing

years of company matches, tax breaks and tax-deferred compounding she can get from contributing to her retirement accounts.

“I no longer think of my financial goals as a zero-sum game where I’m forced to either save for retirement or pay down debt,” says Lamas. “I can achieve both, simultaneously, if I’m thoughtful about it.”

Report: Apps give Facebook sensitive health and other data

By MAE ANDERSON AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Several phone apps are sending sensitive user data, including health information, to Facebook without users’ consent, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

An analytics tool called “App Events” allows app developers to record user activity and report it back to Facebook, even if the user isn’t on Facebook, according to the report .

One example detailed by the Journal shows how a woman would track her period and ovulation using an app from Flo Health. After she enters when she last had her period, Facebook software in the app would send along data, such as whether the user may be ovulating. The Journal’s testing found that the data was sent with an advertising ID that can be

matched to a device or profile.

Although Facebook’s terms instruct app developers not to send such sensitive information, Facebook appeared to be accepting such data without telling the developers to stop. Developers are able to use such data to target their own users while on Facebook.

Facebook said in a statement that it requires apps to tell users what information is shared with Facebook and it “prohibits app developers from sending us sensitive data.” The company said it works to remove information that developers should not have sent to Facebook.

The development comes as Facebook is dealing with increased scrutiny over how it handles user data. Last week, British lawmakers issued a scathing report calling for tougher privacy rules

This file photo shows the Facebook app icon on an iPhone in New York. (AP Photo/Karly Domb Sadof, File)

for Facebook and other tech firms.

Criticisms over privacy intensified nearly a

year ago following revelations that the nowdefunct Cambridge Analytica data-mining firm

accessed data on some 87 million Facebook users without their consent.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has been investigating that flap as well and is reportedly in negotiations with Facebook over a multibillion dollar fine.

The data-sharing is related to a data analytics tool that Facebook offers developers. The tool lets developers see statistics about their users and target them with Facebook ads.

Besides Flo Health, the Journal found that Instant Heart Rate: HR Monitor and real-estate app Realtor.com were also sending app data to Facebook.

The Journal found that the apps did not provide users any way to stop the data-sharing.

Flo Health said in an emailed statement that using analytical systems is a “common practice” for all app developers

and that it uses Facebook analytics for “internal analytics purposes only.”

But the company plans to audit its analytics tools to be “as proactive as possible” on privacy concerns.

Hours after the Journal story was published, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed the state’s Department of State and Department of Financial Services to “immediately investigate” what he calls a clear invasion of consumer privacy. The Democrat also urged federal regulators to step in to end the practice.

Securosis CEO Rich Mogull said that while it is not good for Facebook to have yet another data privacy flap in the headlines, “In this case it looks like the main violators were the companies that wrote those applications,” he said. “Facebook in this case is more the enabler than the bad actor.”

Trump sets up abortion obstacles, barring clinic referrals

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR and DAVID CRARY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Friday set up new obstacles for women seeking abortions, barring taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from making abortion referrals. The new policy is certain to be challenged in court.

The final rule released Friday by the Health and Human Services Department also would prohibit federally funded family planning clinics from being housed in the same locations as abortion providers, and require stricter financial separation.

Clinic staff would still be permitted to discuss

abortion with clients, along with other options. However, that would no longer be required.

The move, decried by women’s groups and praised by religious conservatives, is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to remake government policy on reproductive health. But it could be some time before women served by the federal family program feel the full impact.

Women’s groups, organizations representing the clinics, and Democraticled states are expected to sue to block the policy from going into effect. Administration officials told abortion opponents on a call Friday that they expect legal action, according to a participant.

Abortion is a legal medical procedure, but federal laws prohibit the use of taxpayer funds to pay for abortions except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the woman.

Planned Parenthood, whose affiliates are major providers of family planning services as well as abortions, said the administration is trying to impose a “gag rule,” and launched a full campaign to block it.

Congressional supporters of the organization said it receives about $60 million a year from the federal program.

“I want our patients to know this — we will fight through every avenue so this illegal, unethical rule never goes into effect,” said Planned Parenthood’s president, Dr. Leana Wen.

She said the new policy would prevent doctors from referring women for abortions “even if your life depended on it.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., declared: “Republicans must end their relentless assault on women’s health care and rights.”

It’s a gag rule “for all intents and purposes,” said the American Medical Association.

“The patient-physician relationship relies on trust, open conversation and informed decision making and the government should not be telling physicians what they can and cannot say to their patients,” the AMA said in a statement.

Planned Parenthood and other groups representing the clinics say the new requirements for physical separation of facilities would be costly and all but impossible to fulfill.

Planned Parenthood said the administration is making another attempt to drive it out of business, after efforts to deny funding failed in Congress.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway scoffed at that argument. “They’ve been saying for years they don’t co-mingle their funds, so this should be easy for them,” she told reporters at the White House.

“Physically separate and financially separate.”

Religious conservatives see the administration’s action as a way to break down what they call an indirect taxpayer subsidy of abortion providers.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, called it “a major step toward the ultimate

goal of ending taxpayers’ forced partnership with the abortion industry.”

The regulation was published Friday on an HHS website. It’s not official until it appears in the Federal Register and the department said there could be “minor editorial changes.” A department official confirmed it was the final version.

Known as Title X, the family-planning program serves about 4 million women annually through independent clinics, many operated by Planned Parenthood affiliates, which serve about 40 percent of all clients. The grant program costs taxpayers about $260 million a year.

Leaders of health associations representing black and Latino health care providers and patients joined Wen at a news briefing to decry the new rule They said women from their communities make up more than half the beneficiaries of Title X grants and would be disproportionately harmed by the changes.

But abortion opponent Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, said the administration rule “does not cut family planning funding by a single dime, and instead directs tax dollars to entities that provide health care to women but do not perform abortions.” Her organization is a political advocacy group that backs anti-abortion candidates.

An umbrella group that represents family planning clinics broadly, not only those affiliated with Planned Parenthood, said the administration was act-

ing based on ideology and not in the best interests of patients.

“This rule intentionally strikes at the heart of the patient-provider relationship, inserting political ideology into a family planning visit, which will frustrate and ultimately discourage patients from seeking the health care they need,” Clare Coleman, head of the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association, said in a statement.

Although abortion remains politically divisive, the U.S. abortion rate has dropped significantly, from about 29 per 1,000 women of reproductive age in 1980 to about 15 in 2014.

Better contraception, fewer unintended pregnancies and state restrictions may have played a role, according to a recent scientific report. Polls show most Americans do not want the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion.

The Trump administration’s policy echoes a Reagan-era regulation that barred clinics from even discussing abortion with women. It never went into effect as written, although the Supreme Court ruled it was an appropriate use of executive power.

The policy was rescinded under President Bill Clinton, and a new rule took effect requiring “nondirective” counseling to include a full range of options for women.

The Trump administration is now rolling back the Clinton requirement that abortion be discussed as an option along with prenatal care and adoption.

Snow removal as part of gardening

Nearly 150 million Americans participate in outdoor activities each year. Over the last 10 years, the Outdoor Industry Association has led the way developing products that support social responsibility and reduce environmental impacts.

On Jan. 30, at the Outdoor Retailer Snow Show in Denver, the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA), Snowsports Industries America (SIA) and the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) announced the creation of the Outdoor Business Climate Partnership.

The Outdoor Business Climate Partnership is the first-ever broad collaboration among the trade groups, now standing united in working to mobilize their memberships to increase action on climate change. Climate change is a threat to the outdoor recreation industry, and the $887 billion it contributes annually to the U.S. economy.

Information provided by ReGroup, a nonprofit organization of volunteers formed in 1989 to develop public awareness and participation in the benefits of waste reduction, reuse and recycling on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula.

February brings gardeners’ seed catalogs, thoughts of springtime and garden plans. If you are one of the many peninsula residents who uses a high tunnel or greenhouse to jump start your garden, it is also time to think about snow removal. With our recent snows, and probably more to come, it can build up quickly and weigh more than anticipated. To avoid collapse of your gardening companion, consider ways to reduce the weight and possible damage to your investment. EGrow has a wonderful publication on this subject titled “Don’t Let the Snow get your Down” which can be found online at: http://www.e-gro.org/pdf/2014_410.pdf You can visit us online at www. http://uaf.edu/ces/districts/kenai/, call us at 907-262-5824, or stop by our office at 43691 K-Beach Rd, Suite A, to pick up a copy of this information.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Feb. 24, 2019: This year you break a pattern, which will allow you to become more innovative and positive. You are anchored and know what you want. You will be difficult to stop. If single, you have a distant, dreamy look that often attracts others. Winter 2019 love will heat up your life. If you’re attached, the two of you will establish a long-term dream or desire. You might not like it when it manifests. Update your goals before you go after them.

You will be happier in the long run. SCORPIO helps you look at the long-term issues in your life.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your instincts help you hit a home run with a loved one or a key partner. How you see this person might change as you come to understand how intuitive he or she is as well. Learn to weave your ideas together rather than have an argument. Tonight: Be a duo.

This Week: Be willing to look at the implications and not the immediate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Others distract you from what you want to accomplish. You find several people in your immediate circle somewhat wifty, into concepts and not grounded.

Be aware of what is happening. Tonight: A must appearance.

This Week: Deal on a one-on-one level with a touchy matter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could try to do something differently and not get the response you had in your mind. Your expectations might be off; review them with a loved one and get feedback. Tonight: Pace yourself.

This Week: Defer to another person. You will be happier.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your emotional frequency and ability to get past a problem peak. Honor a sudden realization that could have implications. Look past the obvious and consider your options. Defer to another person who might have a better grasp of recent events. Tonight: Paint the town red.

This Week: Pace yourself, and you will accomplish a lot.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH How you deal with a loved one or roommate reflects who you are. Do not question what needs to happen; just follow through. You might feel ill at ease taking up a practical activity. You need to process. Tonight: At home.

This Week: Your creativity soars. You find answers and solutions. Others need your help too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A loved one has a way of opening you up

2019 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Readers: A pet parent needs to plan for the care of his or her pet after the pet parent dies or becomes too ill to care for the animal. Establishing a PET TRUST can help.

A pet trust (PT) is a legal agreement between the pet owner (the grantor) and the trustee (the person who will carry out the wishes of the pet parent).

The PT describes EXACTLY how the animal is to be cared for, right down to the animal’s diet, vet visits, exercise schedule and whether a cremation or a burial is desired when the pet dies.

Money is key; the funds must be available to carry out these wishes. PTs continue for the life of the pet, or 21 years, but there are exceptions for animals who live a long time, such as birds. Contact an attorney who’s an expert in estate planning for more information.

By Dave Green

to many variations and thoughts. You will have a good time working through them. You are serious-minded in general. Lighten up; do not look for nor make commitments. Tonight: Visit with a loved one.

This Week: You will make a difference in what occurs if you can stay centered. Your personal life takes high priority, LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Your more-aware side emerges, allowing you to gain a greater sense of well-being. Reach out and handle a personal matter in a different style. You finally come to a conclusion that supports your lifestyle. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

This week: Speak your mind. Let others adjust.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You beam, and others notice. Staying away from you could be very difficult and challenging on another level. Understand what drives a loved one toward you and causes such emotional highs and lows.

Process but do not judge. Tonight: As you like it.

This Week: Pay attention to money matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Be more direct. Listen to what happened, and imagine what was happening that you were not aware of. Say little. Stay aware and know your limits. Investigate what is happening through observation. Use care with finances. Tonight: Careful with spending.

This Week: Stay on top of calls, work and any matter of key importance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Zero in on friends. You might need a few carefree days to play and enjoy the good life. Your sense of discipline works against you. Understand that sometimes you do need to be more easygoing. Tonight: Let the other party start up a conversation.

This Week: Play it low-key until Thursday.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your ability to lead others might be subtle, but it is effective. Don’t push so hard to achieve certain results; you don’t need to. Invite a few friends and family members over for a fun afternoon. Tonight: Let the party go on.

This Week: Reach out for someone you care about.

This person needs to hear from you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH One-on-one relating takes you to a new level of understanding. You feel connected to someone who often seems distant. Your ability to empathize emerges. When you walk in this person’s shoes, you understand a lot. Tonight: Rent a movie.

This Week: Responsibilities run high, as do rewards.

Our Cities’ Systems

Communication

Most Americans have several different choices for communicating with one another: mobile phones, email, landline phones, the postal service.

A cellular tower.

Today, computers, cell towers and satellites are essential to all of these methods of getting in touch.

Mini Fact: As people use more energy, power plants have to make improvements to keep up.

When you walk along a sidewalk, fill a bucket with water or turn on the TV, do you ever wonder how those things are possible?

We call highways and bridges, trash collection, traffic signals and much more infrastructure.

They all help make cities more livable.

Many parts of our infrastructure are obvious: We can see roads, subway stations and playgrounds. But other important systems are not so obvious.

Let’s learn more about the “hidden” systems that make our cities and homes run well.

water, as in a dam, by wind turbines or by solar panels collecting the sun’s energy.

After the energy is made, it’s carried through wires to our homes. Some of the wires are underground. Other wires, especially outside the city, are on poles. Once inside a home, other wires carry power to a switch and transfer the electricity to a light or appliance.

To make these and other parts of our infrastructure work, we depend on engineers.

Engineering is using imagination and technology to solve a problem. Some engineers figure out how to build things.

Others invent and design ways to make existing things work better.

For example, making sure people have access to clean water might involve agricultural, environmental and bioengineers.

Protecting our digital information is a goal for software and mechanical engineers.

We turn on the faucet when we’re thirsty or it’s time to take a bath. We might see water towers, but we don’t see the underground pipes that carry the water.

Power Usually, reservoirs and dams outside of You probably walk into a room and turn on the lights without even thinking about how cities collect and store water. The pipes move they work. But the electricity has to come from water to treatment plants, where dirt and other stuff are strained out.

Many of the plants burn When it’s clean, water is pumped to homes coal or natural gas to heat water and make steam. The steam spins the blades of turbines, and businesses.

Eco Note “Clean” energy sources use natural forces, such as sunlight, wind and flowing water. For example, a tidal station uses a large dam called a barrage built across a river estuary. The tidewater is trapped to spin turbines linked to a generator. Free-standing generators can also be built out at sea to harness tidal currents. Waves contain huge amounts of energy, but scientists are still studying the best ways to use wave power.
