Borough seeks to grow local agriculture

In the news Iditarod race preparations continue with straw drop ANCHORAGE — The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race officially begins with a ceremonial start March 2 but preparations are underway for care of dogs along the trail.

Anchorage television station KTVA reports about 60 people this week helped with the annual straw drop, distributing the material on which sled dogs sleep at checkpoints.

Race marshal Mark Nordman says the race is sending out more than 1,000 straw bales.

The Schultz farms in Delta sent three semitruckloads of straw and hay to Anchorage for the drop.

The bales were unloaded at Air Land Transport in Anchorage.

All bales were bagged to keep them from littering aircraft.

Most of the bales are sent using bypass mail rates to rural Alaska.

The race food drop will be next week.

Man sentenced in mail theft case ANCHORAGE — Federal prosecutors say a former supervisor with an Alaska commuter airline has been sentenced to six months in a halfway house for stealing mail, including computers that were destined for rural schools.

Breadoflife “Presley” Faiupu also was sentenced Friday to five years of probation in connection with thefts between March 2015 and April 2017.

Prosecutors say the 37-year-old Anchorage man previously pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and mail theft.

A co-defendant, Congress Lepou, is scheduled to be sentenced in March.

Prosecutors say the two men used a company truck to move stolen items from the postal center to private vehicles in a company parking lot.

According to prosecutors, four other Ravn workers helped the men find buyers, with the six splitting the proceeds.

Heart-shaped show Kenai Fine Arts Center exhibit features artists’ interpretations of the heart

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and the Kenai Fine Arts Center is getting in the mood at the right time.

The art gallery debuted “Show Us Your Heart” Thursday with an opening night reception displaying the work of more than 30 local artists. The Fine Arts Center asked artists to incorporate any variation of the human heart that they see fit, and the final result included a wide range of interpretations.

“This’ll warm everyone up for February,” explained KFAC Vice President Marion Nelson, who played a role in organiz-

ing the show.

Nelson said the idea of the heart-themed show

was hatched with inspiration from the Middle Way Cafe in Anchorage, which

puts on a show each year decorating the interior of the cafe from floor to ceiling in heart art.

Nelson said she wanted to follow in the footsteps of that exhibit, but with the unique twist of featuring local names.

“We’re going to see how well this exhibit is received and we may do it next year,” Nelson said.

Nelson had two pieces of her own in the show, including an encaustic design called “Garden Heart” that blends beeswax granules, a collection of oil pastels and crayon.

Lined with everything heart-shaped one could imagine, the gallery walls feature everything from See HEART, page A3

The Kenai Peninsula Borough is working on a new agricultural land program, which will turn locally owned spaces into productive agricultural land, according to a Jan. 30 media release from the borough’s land management division. This new effort has been coined the Kenai Peninsula Agricultural Initiative.

“In short, the borough is looking to connect its good Ag land with the people who will be doing agricultural production into the future,” Marcus Mueller, the borough’s land manager, writes in the media release.

On the Kenai Peninsula, agriculture is a growing industry, which the borough is working to further progress with its agricultural initiative. The release said the borough has seen an increase in public interest for the quality of local products, the use of locally grown foods in area restaurants and farmers markets.

As the need for more locally grown food increases, the need for affordable and effective farmland will also grow.

“The borough is seeing this emergence of activity as a new era in agricultural system development, which may in ways be unique to the Kenai and our growing state,” the release said.

“Several new terms are becoming part of common conversations. Words like peonies, Rhodiola, hemp, and high tunnels expand the vocabulary on the Kenai and with those are created new opportunities. Access to local vegetables are talked about as the ingredients to healthy communities.”

The program is still in the preliminary stage, and See AG, page A3

No-bid contract for psych institute raises questions

By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire

Wellpath Recovery Solutions, a private contractor, is taking over administration at the beleaguered Alaska Psychiatric Institute. The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services made the announcement in a press

release Friday.

Alaska’s state-run psychiatric facility, where patients receive emergency and court-ordered treatment, has been proven to be a dangerous place for employees and patients in recent years, according to a DHSS report released last year.

State law allowed

DHSS Commissionerdesignee Adam Crum to assume management of API because there is, as the press release states, “reasonable cause to believe there is a danger to the health, safety or welfare of individuals receiving care from that entity.”

Crum was then able to award the no-bid contract

(meaning there was no competitive bidding process) to Wellpath.

Wellpath had a recent success in bringing a Massachusetts hospital back into federal compliance, according to the release.

“During the course of recent investigations at API, we determined im-

mediate steps were needed to protect patients and staff and ensure complete compliance with federal regulations, which also allows the facility to continue to receive federal funds,” Crum said in the release.

Wellpath will bring in a team of specialists to fill See BID, page A2

Anchorage schools still tallying costs from earthquake JUNEAU (AP) — The cost of recovery for schools damaged by an earthquake in Anchorage could exceed an initial estimate of $25 million to $50 million, the superintendent of the Anchorage School District said.

Deena Bishop told state lawmakers this week that the district has invoiced or paid more than $22 million in repairs following the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that affected Anchorage and other

parts of south-central Alaska in November.

Bishop said that does not include the district’s 15 most-damaged schools.

Bishop was among the officials who addressed the Senate Education Committee, which heard presentations on earthquake damage to schools, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

After the meeting, Bishop said subsurface conditions have caused

Gruening Middle School to sink slightly with each significant aftershock. That school and Eagle River Elementary have been closed for this school year.

Mike Brown, executive director of operations for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District, said repair costs in his district have reached $1.8 million, not including Houston Middle School, which has been declared See COST, page A3

UA officials expect major budget cuts FAIRBANKS (AP) — The University of Alaska is expecting Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration to make substantial slashes to university state funding, officials said.

The Republican governor’s amended state budget is set to be released next Wednesday and will then require the state Legislature’s approval, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.

The university “will

likely be taking a huge cut” that could result in scaling back positions and class offerings, said Jim Johnsen, the university’s president.

“I’m extremely concerned about the possibility of another huge cut — you don’t absorb something like that,” Johnsen said. “We have been absorbing these cuts, making decisions, trimming here, cutting there, but if it’s a See UA, page A3

Kodiak students step back in time

By JACK BARNWELL Kodiak Daily Mirror

KODIAK — A group of Peterson Elementary thirdgraders glimpsed snapshots of World War II history on Kodiak Island when they visited the Kodiak Military Museum at Fort Abercrombie State Historical Park on a crisp, clear Jan. 25 morning.

Led by third-grade teacher John Malloy and armed with iPads to document their trip, the large platoon of students explored the now-empty and weatherworn bunkers and buildings on the trails around Miller Point.

Malloy said the purpose of the field trip fits in with his class’s segment on history and geography.

“We’ve been talking about the history and geography of Kodiak, so now they have a reference point,” Malloy said. “They are surrounded by history in Kodiak and it’s nice that we have experts here who can talk to them about it.”

During a break in exploring the forest-covered site, Malloy introduced one element familiar to all military service members — vacuum-packed Meals Ready to Eat. “You have 15 minutes to get your MRE, cut it open and eat,” Malloy told students, adding they were allowed to eat the desserts only. The rest of the MRE package contents went home with parents.

The caveat: students had to retrieve cutting implements — scissors — from the frozen grass nearby.

Several students struggled due to the scissors being stuck together, requiring

teamwork to cut the MRE open.

Peterson third-grader Charli McCarthy managed to open hers with assistance from an adult. Once the contents of the MRE were spread out on the grass, she sorted through it.

“Where’s the desert?” she asked. While other MREs contained items such as M&Ms or Reese’s buttercups, her package included sweet bread and peanut butter and jelly, which was promptly folded into a makeshift sandwich.

Malloy said the field trip offers a different perspective than one provided in Peterson’s vicinity near Coast Guard Base Kodiak.

“We have a bunker we can visit near Peterson Elementary, but this shows them artillery and other equipment,” Malloy said.

“This really puts the talk

they hear in class into perspective. I wanted them to experience a site where history really happened.”

He said the MREs were a last-minute idea that provided an extra element to the experience of exploring the area.

“It was a little frosting on the cake and something I thought of at the last second,” Malloy said. “They (MREs) can hopefully emphasize what military personnel stationed here had to endure in 1942.”

Students were given a tour of the Military Museum

by Curt Law, one of the organization’s founding members. The museum is housed in the Miller Point Ready Ammunition Bunker, which was restored with grant funding in the early 1990s.

The museum itself was established in 1999 and operates via private donations,

according to Law. Inside, students got to experience the sights and sounds of World War II history, including military shells, armaments, radar equipment and radios.

During the tour, Law explained some of the significance behind Kodiak’s military history. Kodiak Fort was built in 1898 by the Army on the site of what now forms the city of Kodiak.

Miller Point, later named Fort Abercrombie, was one of many Army defense postings on Kodiak during World War II. Artillery batteries were stationed at the site.

The Navy built a radio facility on Woody Island in 1911, and later established its base on what is now Coast Guard Base Kodiak in 1939 in response to the onset of World War II.

ses, PCG’s assessment is that a blended approach to privatization is in the best interest of API and the state,” according to the study’s executive summary. “Our findings demonstrate that continued state management is not only the most advantageous route for generating overall cost savings, but that it also avoids many of the risks involved in contracting out the management of critical public infrastructure.”

The report advised against a comprehensive outsourcing of API. “Cost-benefit analysis revealed that this option failed to produce cost savings, making it infeasible on fiscal grounds. The higher cost was due largely to expense of privatizing psychiatric services,” the report says.

key leadership roles while Gavin Carmichael will continue as acting chief of staff at API, the release says. All state employees will remain in their positions too. If Wellpath “is successful” it will completely take over the operation of API on July 1, according to the release.

“It certainly can’t be worse than we’ve done, can it?” Alaska Senate President Cathy Giessel, an Anchorage Republican, said on Friday. “I am very pleased that the effort is going forward.”

“If we need to spend more money to help them, it needs to be done,” Giessel added.

Would privatizing API save money?

With the state of Alaska in a fiscal crunch some may wonder if this move is worth the money. In 2017, DHSS hired consulting group PCG Health to conduct a feasibility study to see if privatizing API would save the state money.

A troubled past Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, spoke out against the contract during an interview with the Empire on Friday.

According to the DHSS news release, Wellpath Recovery Solutions is “a nationally recognized health care company with a proven record of success,” but

ANCHORAGE — Facebook is continuing to remove posts by an Alaska Native artist selling items made of sea otter fur despite the social media company stating the problem had been fixed, an Alaska Native cultural group said.

The Sealaska Heritage Institute and Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan issued a statement last week, urging Facebook to restore the posts by Tlingit artist Robert Miller, the Anchorage Daily News reported Thursday.

Miller’s posts advertising a sea otter fur hat for sale had been removed from the site. He received statements saying such posts were not allowed on Facebook. The institute has been working with Miller to resolve the problem.

The sea otter was legally harvested, the institute said.

Not allowing the sale of such products would hurt Alaska Native artists living in remote villages with limited job opportunities, the group said.

Facebook issued an apology Saturday, saying the posts were mistakenly removed but have been restored.

Facebook said it allows sales of processed fur and leather but not the sale of raw or unprocessed fur or pelts.

As of Wednesday, Miller’s Facebook posts were still being rejected, said Lee Kadinger, chief operating officer of the Sealaska Heritage Institute. Miller’s items are made with processed animal parts, he said.

“It’s still not fixed,” Kadinger said. “I’ve been pinging the site every three hours to check.”

Facebook issued a statement Thursday, saying “Alaska Natives have unique needs that aren’t always captured in a one size fits all approach.”

Alaska mental health trust looks to sell downtown Juneau lot JUNEAU — The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority is looking to sell a prominent waterfront lot in the capital city.

A report commissioned by the trust estimates the value of the 2.9-acre lot at $3 million and concludes that selling is a more financially sound option than leasing and managing the property long term.

Wyn Menefee, the executive director of the Trust Land Office, says marketing will begin this winter leading to an auction.

KTOO Public Media reports the lot has been mostly vacant since 2007.

Juneau City Manager Rorie Watt says he would have preferred quicker action. He says it took the trust a long time to conclude that a sale was “the right way forward.”

Wielechowski said that description of Wellpath is not very accurate.

“Well, Wellpath by that name has been in existence four months,” Wielechowski said. “It’s a combination of two other companies that have an extremely disturbing track record.”

The companies Wielechowski referred to are Correct Care Solutions and Correctional Medical Group, which merged in October 2018.

Wielechowski pointed to a Daily Beast article published in November 2017, which reported a lawsuit against the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Inmate Winfred Lawrence’s family sued the department after Lawrence died in prison.

“A treatable case of pneumonia turned deadly after medical staff at the Varner state prison refused to treat Lawrence, according to a lawsuit filed last week against the Arkansas Department of Corrections,” the Daily Beast article reads. The prison’s medical care provider was Correct Care.

In the same article it was reported that a county in Georgia “ended their

contract with Correct Care Solutions following the deaths of five inmates in 75 days.”

According to a HIG Capital (a global private equity firm) news release regarding the merger that created Wellpath, “the combined company will generate approximately $1.5 billion in annual revenues and be headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee.”

“The idea that we’re going to profitize people, who have mental illness, and desperately need help and are being forced into an institution where a company is going to be making profits, and incentivized to be making profits off treating these individuals — I don’t think the that’s the direction we want to go in this state,” Wielechowski said.

Wielechowski said he also wants to closely examine how this no-bid contract came about.

“There’s a reason you have procurement laws on your books in this state and many others,” Wielechowski said. “It’s to prevent cronyism, it’s to prevent shady deals, sweetheart deals. I think we need to take a good hard look at how it came about.”

Robert Harlan Breakfield, Sr.

William “Bill” Dawson

May 5, 1927 - January 25, 2019

December 10, 1931 - February 5, 2019

Longtime Alaskan Robert Harlan Breakfield, Sr., 91, passed away of natural causes on Friday, Jan. 25, 2019, surrounded by his family at Riverside Assisted Living in Soldotna.

A graveside service was held Jan. 30 at Soldotna Community Memorial Park. Pastor Frank Alioto officiated. Military honors were by V.F.W. Post 10046 and American Legion Post 20.

Bob was born May 5, 1927 in Cumming, Iowa to George and Daisy (Hodges) Breakfield. He served in the U.S. Navy during World War II on the USS Guadalupe.

He moved to Alaska in 1962 and lived in Homer.

There, he owned Bob’s Ski-doo sales for 19 years.

Bob was a member of the V.F.W. in Homer.

His family wrote, “He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.”

Bob was preceded in death by his wife of 68 years, Marilyn, daughter, Rhonda Wooley and grandson, Joe Wooley.

He is survived by his sons and daughters-inlaw, Rob and Kathy Breakfield of Portland, Ore., and Jeff and Pamela Breakfield of Soldotna; grandchildren, Corey Breakfield of Portland, Ore., Melodie Tanigawa and husband, Brett of Portland, Ore., Natalee Taylor and husband, Chris of Portland, Maine, Amy Hart and husband, Dan of Anchorage, and Ben Breakfield of Soldotna; great-granddaughter, Riley Breakfield of Soldotna; greatgrandson, Dax Taylor of Portland, Maine; and many nieces and nephews.

Memorial donations may be sent in Bob’s honor to the American Diabetes Association, 801 W. Fireweed Ln., Ste. 103, Anchorage, AK 99503.

Arrangements were by Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai.

William “Bill” Dawson was born on December 10, 1931 in Yakima Washington and passed away February 5th, 2019. Bill was the oldest son of Frieda and William Dawson and grew up bird hunting, fishing and working on his grandfather’s farm. This part of his life set the stage for his later life in Alaska. After high school, Bill joined the Navy and served in Korea. After his enlistment was up, he returned to Yakima where he enlisted in the US Air Force.

After he was transferred to Alaska in 1961, he realized that this is where he wanted to live out the remainder of his life. Bill was able to spend the next 18.5 years stationed in Alaska, including two tours in King Salmon - where no fish was safe! Bill came to Alaska with his wife Ruth, daughter Katherine (Kathy) Dawson, sons George Whiteman and Wayne Dawson. While stationed in Anchorage, Bill worked in the headquarters building. While in the Air Force, Bill earned his A.M.P. license. He also began working with Alaska USA Federal Credit Union in its early days, serving on its board of directors for several decades. Once retired from the Air Force, Bill worked for GBR Equipment Inc, and the Bureau of Land Management. During this time Bill built several aircraft. He was an avid bush pilot until a crash in 1973 limited his flying. When Bill retired he moved to Kenai, Alaska. His wife Ruth later developed Alzheimer’s disease.

He then met and married Shirley who brought a spark back into his life. Shirley and her family brought Bill the peace and comfort that he had been mising for a number of years.

They accepted him in their hearts and made him a part of their family.

Bill is preceeded in death by his father William, mother Frieda, wife Ruth and brother Robert. He is survived by his wife Shirley Dawson, son George Whiteman, daughter Katherine Dawson, (Jo Lamson), son Wayne Dawson (Jaquie), grandchildren Kami and Logan Dawson, stepchildren Gordon Renney, Norman Renney, Neil Renney, Sam Renney, Vicki Crumpacker, Judy Hoeschen, and numerous other family members and friends. A graveside services will be held February 14th at 1pm, at Soldotna Community Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the families request donations be made to a charity of choice.

Arrangements were made by Peninsula Memorial Chapel.

What Others Say

Electoral college is broken When it seemed Mitt Romney might

win the popular vote in 2012 but lose the Electoral College, Donald Trump called the system “a disaster for a democracy.”

He was right about that. The election four years later confirmed it.

He is the fifth president to have won only on account of an archaic mechanism designed by elites who didn’t believe the American people were sufficiently intelligent to choose their chief executive.

George Washington was scarcely back at Mount Vernon before the electors became mere functionaries for a mechanism stacked against the popular vote. It was designed in part to protect slavery.

Public confidence, the lifeblood of a democracy, is drained whenever a loser snatches victory from the person who earned it.

The Colorado Senate recently took a big step toward bringing presidential selection out of the 18th century into the 21st. It voted to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, binding Colorado’s electors to vote for the candidate who wins the most votes nationwide. If the House approves, as it has before, Colorado would join 11 other pledged states and the District of Columbia, putting the Compact only 89 electoral votes shy of 270, the magic number to put it into effect.

Legislatures have the power to do this. It’s the practical alternative to eliminating the Electoral College by constitutional amendment, an uphill climb requiring a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress and ratification by 38 states. The smallest states, which have excess weight in the Electoral College, would block it. The Compact, on the other hand, needs no approval from Congress and the participation of only a few more states.

Florida should be one of them. Our 29 electors would give the vitally important reform a significant boost. But the only proposal before the Legislature, SB 552 by Sen. Kevin J. Rader, D-Boca Raton, goes in the wrong direction. It would award one elector to the winner in each congressional district with two electors going to the statewide popular vote winner.

Maine and Nebraska do this now. If every state did, Barack Obama would have lost the presidency to Mitt Romney in 2012 despite a 5 million vote lead nationwide.

In 2008, Republicans considered trying to impose districting on deep-blue California through its easily manipulated initiative system. That would have made it difficult for any Democrat to win the presidency in the foreseeable future.

Voting by districts has an inherent Republican bias, owing to the fact that Democrats tend to concentrate in urban areas, while Republican voters are distributed more evenly throughout the country.

That’s without gerrymandering in the mix. Moving to choose electors by district would encourage even more of it. Presidential races would be predetermined like most seats in the House of Representatives. Last year’s blue wave was an exception.

It may be a challenge to persuade Republican politicians to endorse reform. They have won every electoral dysfunction since the birth of their party. But that isn’t guaranteed. A shift of just 60,000 votes in Ohio would have elected John Kerry in 2004 despite President George W. Bush having more votes nationwide.

It isn’t difficult to imagine a future election, if not next year, in which a moderate Republican almost wins California and New York and has a popular majority but loses the electoral vote.

What’s wrong with the present system goes deeper than party. That’s true also of voting by districts, which is not a fair or reliable substitute for the national popular vote. …

Another major liability is that the present system treats most voters — those living everywhere but in 10 or so “battleground” states — as unworthy of attention. There is no incentive for a Republican to troll for votes in California or New York, or for a Democrat to appeal to Texas. In 2016, thirty-eight states saw practically no campaign activity. It took

The Hypocrats face a political quandary

Today, let’s consider the Hypocrats.

Those are the Democrats who sanctimoniously declare, every chance they get, that they stand for racial justice and women’s rights — in fact, they are the champions of all the oppressed.

Obviously that’s not always the case.

It would be comforting to know that they are a new party, but, of course, they are not. In recent memory, they are the ones who opportunistically rallied around President Bill Clinton, and viciously ripped into intern Monica Lewinsky and the others who dared to accuse their guy of being a dangerous perv.

They are more than matched by the GOP, which, of course, means “Grand Old Phonies” when it comes to piety of convenience. Their embrace of Donald Trump’s transparently fraudulent cultural conservatism is Exhibit A, but let’s focus on the Hypocrats.

Actually, we’re being forced to by all the goings-on in Virginia, which fancies itself the “birthplace of America” In fact, the commonwealth (it is called a “commonwealth,” as opposed to just a humdrum “state”) is marking its 400th anniversary, including of the arrival of the first slaves. The remnants of that evil period in the nation’s history still afflict us today. Look no further than the leaders of the commonwealth of Virginia Hypocratic Party, those preachers of progressive policies forced, because they had no choice, to admit their ugly pasts.

Thanks to Ralph Northam, we’ve

had the opportunity to learn that when you apply shoe polish to your face to appear in blackface, it is really, really hard to remove.

As we all know, Virginia Gov. Bob Franken Northam is in a heap of trouble after right-wing oppo research people discovered a picture on his 1984 medical school yearbook page showing a guy in blackface, standing next to a man covered in KKK robe and hood.

As we all know, Northam has not handled this at all well. When the picture was first revealed, he apologized profusely, then the next day denied it was him while admitting that he had put on blackface for a Michael Jackson moonwalking contest. That attempt at damage control inflicted even more harm, with friends and foes alike demanding that he resign.

Among them was Mark Herring, the Democratic attorney general of the state — oh, excuse me, commonwealth. Herring is another darling of the left, except that he’s a red-faced Herring at the moment, embarrassed to confess that he too had his blackface moment to appear at a costume party to play the part of a rap performer. He claims to have used makeup. Was he being mindful of Northam’s warning that “You cannot get shoe polish off”?

It is obvious that they can’t get their two faces off, that these self-declared progressives have ventured into deeply insensitive racism and have threatened their careers decades later.

Herring, by the way, would be second in the line of succession in Virginia if Northam lost the job. The first would be the Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, also a Democrat, and if the serious sexual-assault accusations against him are true, also a Hypocrat.

According to college professor Vanessa Tyson, Fairfax forced her to have oral sex with him nearly 15 years ago.

That laughter you hear might be coming from the Supreme Court building, where Brett Kavanaugh is now an associate justice after grinding through similar charges. In fact, the same law firm that represented Justice Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, is now handling Tyson’s case, while the same one that defended Kavanaugh now has Fairfax as a client.

It puts women’s rights groups and their supporters in quite a quandary.

Do they apply the same standard in both these cases where they presume, until shown otherwise, that the woman is telling the truth? It’s a dilemma. Kavanaugh and his GOP supporters survived the process, barely. Will Justin Fairfax? Will his fellow Hypocrats?

And the bigger question is, can either party survive the accumulated deserved skepticism that weighs it down? Politics is so transparently and clumsily dishonest.

Time to get back to work By the time the legislature gavels in on Monday morning, we will have delayed the work of the people by almost four weeks. Until a permanent speaker is elected, the Uniform Rules preclude the House from accomplishing anything of substance, including important functions such as the introduction of bills — including the governor’s operating, capital and mental health budgets — consideration of Senate bills, and vetting of the governor’s appointees.

Every day that we sit here without a fully-functional government, we waste valuable dollars that we cannot get back. In a time of budget deficits, this is even more painful.

We don’t have months, weeks, or days to sort this out. The notion of power sharing that has been explored isn’t a realistic option because it doesn’t offer a timely outcome, nor has it been able to satisfy the requirements of the Constitution, the Alaska Statutes, and the Uniform Rules. But even if it had checked those boxes, Alaskans did not send us to Juneau to remake the house procedurally.

They sent us here to address our budget deficit, community safety, and the permanent fund dividend, among other important issues facing our state.

Those trains are coming down the track at full speed.

The governor is making appoint-

ments and preparing his budget. The State Senate is deliberating on bills to improve public safety, ensure our kids are properly educated, and keep our economy moving forward. The State House is stuck in limbo. Alaskans are very upset, and they have every right to be.

I have genuine personal respect for every member of this chamber. All of us care deeply for this state and the institution of the House. A number of members have participated in what I believe are good faith conversations over the past four weeks about how we can bring everyone to the table and get to work. But unfortunately, these conversations have been fruitless, and this unnecessary delay has caused us to neglect our body’s sole responsibility: to govern.

In the interest of ending this deadlock in a timely fashion, we have invited a number of our likeminded colleagues across the aisle to join our caucus — as we often have over the years — by extending offers of mem-

place almost entirely in the 12 “battleground” states. Fewer voters went to the polls where their votes were taken for granted.

Voting by districts would do

little to change that because so where. It puts the whole nation into few of them are competitive. The play.

bership and even assignments of significant power and position within the Republican-led majority the voters sent to Juneau. But unlike in previous years, these offers have languished on the table for several weeks, with little response and no clear end in sight.

To this point, I’ve declined to name names or disclose information regarding invitations that have been made to members, out of respect for my colleagues and the negotiating process. But politics is a team sport and right now, there are a whole lot of individuals who have chosen to try and play by themselves.

I’ll leave you with one parting thought, and it comes from Article 1, Section 2 of the Alaska Constitution (emphasis mine): “All political power is inherent in the people. All government originates with the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the people as a whole.”

Whether we like it or not, the will of the people was made abundantly clear on November 6th.

Let’s put this majority together and get to work.

Rep. Dave Talerico, R-Healy, represents House District 6 in the Alaska House of Representatives, and is the leader of the House Republican Caucus.

Snowstorm buries Pacific Northwest

Around the Nation Search of suspect’s home uncovers underground shooting range

By GENE JOHNSON Associated Press

SEATTLE — Residents of the Pacific Northwest took to neighborhood hills with skis, sleds or even just laundry baskets Saturday to celebrate an unusual dump of snow in a region more accustomed to winter rain.

Some areas received more than a foot of snow, and meteorologists say more is on the way early next week. Hundreds of flights were canceled in Seattle and Portland, and heavy snow drifts closed major highways in eastern Washington. Around 50,000 people lost power.

Residents cleared out grocery store shelves and left work early Friday afternoon as the storm arrived. More than a foot of snow was recorded by Saturday morning in some areas, including on the Olympic Peninsula, in the nation’s latest bout of winter weather.

In Tacoma, hundreds of people turned out for a snowball fight in a park after someone who lives nearby suggested it on Facebook. They took cover behind picnic tables and used sleds as shields.

“This is a perfect morning to bundle up and play in the snow, but stay off the roads if possible,” Gov. Jay Inslee wrote on Twitter.

In central Washington, blowing snow and drifts 3 to 4 feet deep forced the closure of U.S. 2 and Interstate 90. The Grant County Sheriff’s Office warned that snow drifts were blocking many roads.

Airports in eastern Washing-

FONTANA, Calif. — Police searching the Southern California home of an alleged motorcycle gang member uncovered a manhole that led to an underground shooting range.

The Fontana Police Department said on Facebook that officers seized numerous weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition during the search Thursday night.

The suspect, 45-year-old Charles McMillian, was taken into custody and booked for several counts, including illegally possessing firearms. He was released on bail.

When reached at his home, McMillian said he was “a proud American” and denied he was a gang member before abruptly hanging up the phone.

ton closed, and numerous car crashes were reported.

“Snow conditions are worsening minute to minute, so don’t expect travel conditions to improve,” the sheriff’s office wrote.

The National Weather Service said additional snow could fall Saturday, and another storm was expected early next week.

About 180 people spent the night at an emergency shelter set up at Seattle Center, with officials going out again on Saturday to get other homeless residents to safety. Inslee declared a state of emergency over the storm. The state transportation department said crews had to clear several trees that had fallen across roads in the Tacoma area.

In Portland, a tanker truck slid into a sport-utility vehicle

on an interchange between Interstates 5 and 84 on Saturday, blocking the ramp for hours.

Other parts of the country were also wrestling with difficult weather. Residents of Hawaii were bracing for coastal flooding amid extreme surf predictions. A California man died in rough waters off of Maui on Friday, Hawaii News Now reported.

In California, more than 120 visitors and staff members were rescued Thursday after being trapped by up to 7 feet of snow in a Sierra Nevada resort for five days.

Another winter storm was on the way to the region.

In Yosemite National Park, as many as 50 housing structures near Half Dome Village were damaged by trees toppled during a snowstorm earlier this week,

displacing more than 160 employees who provide food, lodging and other services for visitors.

Elsewhere, more than 148,000 customers lost power in Michigan following days of freezing rain. The Consumers Energy utility said power would be restored by late Sunday.

In Washington, about 50,000 people lost power.

In Seattle, snowfall from Sunday and Monday lingered into the week as below-freezing temperatures gripped the area. A 59-yearold man died Thursday from exposure at a Seattle light rail station.

Residents in Portland and Seattle who are more accustomed to rain than snow waited in long lines to buy shovels and de-icer.

Gun-seizure laws grow in popularity

By RYAN J. FOLEY Associated Press

In the year since the deadly mass shooting at a Florida high school, more and more states have passed laws making it easier to take guns away from people who may be suicidal or bent on violence against others, and courts are issuing an unprecedented number of seizure orders across the country.

Supporters say these “red flag” laws are among the most promising tools to reduce the nearly 40,000 suicides and homicides by firearm each year in the U.S. Gun advocates, though, say such measures undermine their constitutional rights and can result in people being stripped of their weapons on false or vindictive accusations.

Nine states have passed laws over the past year allowing police or household members to seek court orders requiring people deemed threatening to temporarily surrender their guns, bringing the total to 14. Several more are likely to follow in the

months ahead.

More than 1,700 orders allowing guns to be seized for weeks, months or up to a year were issued in 2018 by the courts after they determined the individuals were a threat to themselves or others, according to data from several states obtained by The Associated Press. The actual number is probably much higher since the data was incomplete and didn’t include California.

The laws gained momentum after it was learned that the young man accused in the Florida attack, Nikolas Cruz, was widely known to be mentally troubled yet had access to weapons, including the assault-style rifle used to kill 17 students and staff members last Valentine’s Day at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

“Parkland would never have happened if Florida had a red flag law,” Linda Beigel Schulman said during a recent news conference with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is

expected to sign his state’s new law any day. Her son, Scott Beigel, was a teacher and coach killed during the Parkland attack.

Florida passed a red flag law as part of a gun-control package in the wake of the shooting. Aside from New York, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont also have adopted variations since then.

California, Connecticut, Indiana, Oregon and Washington already had similar laws.

Several states are debating them this year, including New Mexico, where two students were killed in a school shooting in December 2017.

Mike Heal, police chief in the town of Aztec, responded to the shooting at the local high school and testified in support of the red flag proposal, saying, “I know I cannot keep everyone safe, but give me the tools to try.”

The laws are being invoked frequently in many of the states that have them.

Authorities in Maryland

Veterans Town Hall with Alaska VA Healthcare System Director Dr. Timothy D. Ballard, MD February 21, 2019 from 5 - 6:30 p.m. at the Kenai Visitor & Cultural Center 11471 Kenai Spur Hwy, Kenai, AK 99611 POC: One Stop Shop at 907-257-5463 or Alaskaquery@va.gov

granted more than 300 petitions to temporarily disarm individuals in the three months after the state’s law went into effect Oct. 1.

Montgomery County Sheriff Darren Popkin said the cases included four “significant” threats of school shootings, and that a majority of the people who were subjects of the orders were suffering from mental health crises.

“These orders are not only being issued appropriately, they are saving lives,” Popkin told lawmakers last month.

In Vermont, a prosecutor obtained an order to strip gun rights from a teenager released from jail after being accused of plotting a school shooting.

Florida courts granted more than 1,000 orders in the first nine months of its new law. Broward County, which includes Parkland, has been at the forefront, accounting for roughly 15 percent of cases statewide.

HOOVER, Ala. — Federal officials are investigating an Alabama mall shooting in which a police officer killed a black man he mistook for the gunman.

News outlets report that U.S. Attorney Jay Town issued a statement Friday that the Department of Justice has been reviewing and is continuing to investigate the shooting death of 21-year-old Emantic “EJ” Bradford Jr. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall announced Tuesday that the officer will not face charges. The state’s investigation determined that the police officer in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover was justified in shooting Bradford because Bradford carried a weapon and appeared to pose a threat.

That decision has prompted outrage among activists. The Alabama NAACP says Marshall’s decision essentially tells Alabama’s black residents their lives don’t matter.

Mumps confirmed in 7 detainees at Houston ICE facility HOUSTON (AP) — Health officials say seven cases of the mumps have been confirmed at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Houston.

The Houston Health Department said Saturday that the seven adults were detained during their infectious period. Health officials say there’s no evidence the disease was transmitted outside the facility.

The health department is working with the facility on infection control.

Mumps is contagious and spreads through coughing and sneezing. Common symptoms are fever, headache, and painfully swollen salivary glands that can cause puffy cheeks. Most people recover within weeks. Outbreaks are rare but have happened in Texas and the Houston region.

The mumps vaccine is part of routine childhood shots. U.S. health officials recommend that by age 6, all children get vaccinated for mumps, measles and rubella.

Pregnant woman killed in snowmobile crash in Maine GREENWOOD, Maine — Authorities in Maine say a pregnant woman and her unborn child were killed in a snowmobile crash.

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife said Elizabeth Abelson was driving a snowmobile Saturday at 11 a.m. on a trail in Greenwood when she lost control, was ejected from the snowmobile and collided with trees. Greenwood is in western part of the state and is home to Mount Abram ski area.

The 30-year-old from Gloucester, Massachusetts, and her unborn child were pronounced dead at Stephens Memorial Hospital. Officials said the child was due in March.

Abelson’s husband was also riding the snowmobile. Authorities did not say if he was injured in the crash.

French yellow vest anti-govt protests turn violent in Paris

US-backed fighters launch final push to defeat IS in Syria

By THOMAS ADAMSON Associated Press

By BASSEM MROUE Associated Press

PARIS — A French yellow vest protester’s hand was ripped apart Saturday during violent clashes in Paris as demonstrators tried to storm the French National Assembly in a 13th consecutive week of unrest.

Police said the injured protester lost four fingers as police swooped in to stop protesters from breaching the parliament’s exterior.

Police could not confirm French media reports that the demonstrator’s hand was blown up by a grenade used to disperse unruly crowds.

As scuffles broke out in front of the National Assembly and French police responded with tear gas, paramedics huddled around the injured protester at the National Assembly gates, providing emergency treatment and stopping bystanders from getting too close.

Police used batons and fired tear gas in Paris to disperse demonstrators, some of whom threw debris at riot police hunkered down.

Fire department spokesman Gildas Lecoeur told The Associated Press that the injured man was taken to a hospital, but he couldn’t confirm his current condition.

A car, motorbikes and multiple trash bins were set

BEIRUT — U.S.-backed and Kurdish-led Syrian forces said Saturday they have launched a final push to defeat the Islamic State group in the last tiny pocket the extremists hold in eastern Syria.

Syrian Democratic Forces spokesman Mustafa Bali tweeted that the offensive began Saturday after more than 20,000 civilians were evacuated from the IS-held area in the eastern province of Deir el-Zour. An SDF statement said the offensive was focused on the village of Baghouz.

The SDF, backed by U.S. air power, has driven IS from large swaths of territory it once controlled in northern and eastern Syria, confining the extremists to a small pocket of land near the border with Iraq.

Scores of IS fighters are now besieged in two villages, or less than once percent of the self-styled caliphate that once sprawled across large parts of Syria and Iraq.

In recent weeks, thousands of civilians, including families of IS fighters, left the area controlled by the extremists.

“The decisive battle began tonight to finish what remains of Daesh terrorists,” Bali said, using an Arabic acronym to refer to IS. “The battle is very fierce,” he later told The Associated Press. “Those remaining inside are the most experienced who are defending their last stronghold. According to this you can imagine the ferocity and size of the fighting.”

Bali did not say how long they expect the battle to last.

ablaze as the protest moved toward the city’s Invalides monument but France’s Interior Ministry said this week’s protest was significantly smaller than last week’s.

Police said 21 demonstrators had been arrested as scuffles broke out between protesters and police near the Champs-Elysees Avenue and the National Assembly. The protest march is due to end up near the Eiffel Tower.

The yellow vest activists,

who have brought hundreds of thousands onto the streets over the past three months, are now trying to achieve electoral success but the movement is politically divided and has no appointed leader.

French President Emmanuel Macron — the target of many demonstrators’ anger — seems to be clawing back support from the public as he tries to address the movement’s anger with a national political debate on economic injustice. Re-

cent polls show Macron’s approval ratings are rising.

Earlier Saturday, activists in Latvia staged a picket in front of the French embassy in Riga, the capital of the small Baltic EU country, to support the yellow vest movement and urge Latvians to demand higher living standards.

The activists waved Latvia’s red-and-white flag, shouting slogans like “the French have woken up, while Latvians remain asleep.”

Questions of Brazil soccer club where 10 killed

By MARCELO SILVA DE SOUSA and MAURICIO SAVARESE Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — Under mounting criticism Saturday, Brazilian soccer club Flamengo defended its management of the training ground where a fire killed 10 of its academy players — all between 14 and 16 years old — at a dormitory that had been registered with the city as a parking lot.

Rio de Janeiro’s city hall said in a statement that Flamengo was fined 31 times because of infractions at the Ninho do Urubu training ground, which had to be temporarily closed in October 2017. The club did not pay 21 of those fines.

City hall also said the sleeping quarters where Flamengo’s players died was irregularly licensed as a parking lot.

“The lodging area hit by the fire is not included in the last project approved by our licensing,” it said. “There are no registers of new licensing requests for that area as a sleeping quarter.”

Three teenagers injured in the fire were still in the hospital, including one in

serious condition.

Flamengo’s CEO Reinaldo Belotti pushed back on accusations, saying the licensing issues “have nothing to do with the accident.”

He said the sleeping quarter was a proper lodging and not an improvised structure.

“We have to take measures to legalize our training ground,” Belotti said. “We needed nine certificates and we already have eight. We are working with the fire department.”

Belotti linked the heavy Rio rains earlier in the week to what he called “a tragic accident” and said unstable electricity could have sparked the fire.

“It was not because of lack of attention and care from Flamengo. These boys are our biggest asset,” he said. “It was all a succession of events after a catastrophic day for Rio.” The Flamengo executive did not take questions and did not explain why the sleeping quarter was registered as a parking lot in the project originally sent to Rio’s city hall. Whether bad weather led to a power surge, common in Rio de Janeiro and other parts of Brazil, the club has not

detailed what measures, if any, were in place in case of fire.

It was also impossible to ignore a sobering reality: the sleeping quarters must have included such flammable material that 10 young men, all in the best shape of their lives, were not able to escape before being consumed by the flames.

“Flamengo is responsible because it should take care of its athletes and the dormitory where the fire took place was not in the club’s project,” said Filipe Sales, a 26-year-old fan who stood Saturday outside team’s headquarters in Southern Rio, where hundreds gathered for a symbolic embrace.

“This has to be an alert for every club in this country, and authorities must investigate severely. Ten kids are dead and this cannot happen again,” Sales said.

The incident came just two weeks after the Jan. 25 dam collapse in Brazil unleashed a flood of mining waste in Minas Gerais state, killing at least 157 people and almost as many missing.

On Wednesday night

and early Thursday, torrential downpours and strong winds killed at least seven people and left a trail of destruction, stirring a wave of controversy over shoddy infrastructure and lax oversight in Latin America’s largest nation.

The cause of the fire was still unknown, although authorities were looking at a possible short circuit in the air conditioning system. The administration of Mayor Marcelo Crivella said it would open an investigation, while local police said they have already heard testimony from 13 surviving players and three Flamengo staffers.

A former Flamengo player who spent 10 years with the institution was critical of its handling of young players. He asked to remain anonymous because he still played in a professional capacity.

“All of the young people in my generation see ourselves reflected in this tragedy,” he said. “If law officials investigate, more irregularities will come to light. It’s a situation that not only occurs in Flamengo but in all Brazilian football.”

SDF fighters are advancing “cautiously” due to mines planted by IS gunmen. It said U.S.-led coalition warplanes are giving cover to advancing SDF fighters.

U.S. President Donald Trump predicted Wednesday that IS will have lost all of its territory by next week.

“It should be formally announced sometime, probably next week, that we will have 100 percent of the caliphate,” Trump told representatives of the 79-member, U.S.-led coalition fighting IS. U.S. officials have said in recent weeks that IS has lost 99.5 percent of its territory and is holding onto fewer than 5 square kilometers in Syria, or less than 2 square miles, where the bulk of the fighters are concentrated.

But activists and residents say IS still has sleeper cells in Syria and Iraq, and is laying the groundwork for an insurgency. The U.S. military has warned the group could stage a comeback if the military and counterterrorism pressure on it is eased.

The Observatory said that since the SDF began its offensive against IS in the area on Sept. 10, some 1,279 IS gunmen and 678 SDF fighters have been killed. It said 401 civilians, including 144 children and teenagers, have been killed since then.

Earlier Saturday, IS militants attacked SDF fighters near an oil field in the country’s east, triggering airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition.

The Observatory said 12 IS gunmen attacked the SDF and clashed with them for several hours until most of the attackers were killed early Saturday. It said 10 attackers were killed, while two managed to flee.

Around the World US says new airstrike in Somalia kills 8 al-Shabab fighters JOHANNESBURG — The United States military says it has killed eight al-Shabab extremists with an airstrike in southern Somalia.

A U.S. Africa Command statement says Friday’s strike hit near Kobon, not far from the port city of Kismayo.

The U.S. says Kobon has been used to stage attacks against Somali forces. Its statement says no civilians were killed in the airstrike.

The U.S. military has carried out at least a dozen such airstrikes this year in Somalia against the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab, the deadliest Islamic extremist group in Africa.

The United States has dramatically stepped up airstrikes against al-Shabab since President Donald Trump took office. Experts say it will take more than airstrikes to defeat the extremists, who continue to carry out deadly attacks in the Horn of Africa nation and neighboring Kenya.

7 get life in prison for 2015 Tunisia terrorist attacks

TUNIS, Tunisia — Tunisian authorities gave seven suspects life in prison and handed out other sentences Saturday in a trial for two 2015 attacks in Tunisia that killed 60 people, mainly tourists.

Samir Ben Amor, the lawyer for one of the 44 defendants, said the verdicts were handed down for the deadly attack against the country’s famous Bardo Museum and a massacre at a popular seaside resort.

Other defendants received jail terms ranging from 16 years to six months, while the charges against 27 of the suspects were dismissed, according to Ben Amor.

None of the defendants re-

ceived the maximum penalty of capital punishment for a range of charges that include premeditated murder, threatening national security and belonging to an extremistlinked group.

They were tried in a single trial that wrapped up at dawn on Saturday. The prosecution will appeal the verdicts.

The suspected mastermind of both attacks, Chamseddine Sandi, hasn’t been caught and is thought to be hiding in Libya.

Police say the defendants denied having participated directly in the March and June 2015 attacks during their questioning but several of them acknowledged having provided logistical assistance to Sandi.

On March 18, 2015, at the Bardo Museum in Tunis, 22

people were killed by extremists. Two of the gunmen were killed by police.

Three months later, on June 26 in the coastal city of Sousse, attacker Aymen Rezgui walked onto the beach of the Imperial Hotel and used an assault rifle to shoot at tourists, killing 38 people.

Rezgui, a Tunisian student who trained with Libyan militants, was killed about 15 minutes later by police.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for those attacks, which devastated the country’s tourism sector as travel agencies pulled out and governments issued travel warnings.

Tourism has since partially bounced back after Tunisia’s government implemented a series of security measures to protect popular destinations.

Stars, Kards cap Lynx tourney with wins Dimond tourney highlights weekend of hoops; Homer Winter Carnival and Ninilchik tourneys wrap up Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Soldotna and Kenai Central girls wrapped up play at the Lady Lynx Prep Shootout at Dimond Saturday afternoon with wins.

SoHi defeated West Anchorage 60-52 to finish seventh in the Gold Bracket, which the Stars earned their way into Wednesday with an opening round win.

Kenai, which lost on the first day to move into the Maroon Bracket, toppled South Anchorage 34-30 Saturday to finish third in that bracket.

Aliann Schmidt pumped in 23 points to lead Soldotna (17-2 overall) to the win over West, helped by 7-for-7 shooting from the free throw line. Stars teammate Brittani Blossom was 8 for 9 from the foul line to finish with 13 points and Ituau Tuisaula had 14.

The Stars jumped out to a 16-8 lead in the first quarter, helped by seven points from Schmidt, and reached halftime up 31-22. The Eagles won the third quarter to cut the lead to 43-37 but the Stars finished

out strong to hold the victory.

Kenai had to dig deep as the Kardinals rallied to beat South, making up a 24-18 deficit in the fourth quarter by outscoring the Wolverines 16-6.

The Kards were led by Hayley Maw, who netted 12 points over South, including 10 in the fourth quarter rally. Jaycie Calvert chipped in eight.

Kenai hit just one bucket in the second quarter as South took a 16-9 lead at halftime, then looked to be in control after three quarters before Kenai’s late comeback.

ACS toppled Dimond 71-59 for the Gold crown, while Colony defeated Lathrop 41-33 for the Maroon title.

Homer Winter Carnival The Galena Hawks capped a pair of perfect 3-0 weekends Saturday in Homer, with the boys beating Seward 46-34 to wrap up the tournament title, while the Galena girls prevailing 54-33 over Seward to capture the girls crown.

The Homer girls lost 48-15 to Sitka Saturday night at the tournament to finish 1-2 over the weekend,

while the Homer boys lost 44-35 to Sitka in the late game Saturday.

In girls action, Galena’s Pearle Green tallied 22 points to lead the Hawks to the tourney title, getting 11 points with three 3’s in the first quarter for a hot start. Riley Von Borstel provided 12 points for the Seahawks, which trailed 23-6 after one quarter.

The Sitka girls got points from all 10 players in their win over Homer, led by the 15 of Abby Forrester. Marina Carroll had six points for the Mariners.

Sitka led only 14-9 at halftime, but exploded for 20 points in the third quarter to ice the victory.

In the boys tournament, Galena beat Seward with a well-rounded effort, getting points from eight different players, led by Joe Riddle’s 12. The Seward boys were paced by Connor Spanos with 14 points.

Seward led 9-2 early, but Galena won the second quarter to take the lead 18-16 at the half. The Hawks led 31-24 entering the fourth quarter, where they sealed it by outscoring Seward 17-10, hitting 10 of 13 See HOOP, page B4

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears split with the Corpus Christi (Texas) IceRays this weekend at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, winning 5-1 on Friday before falling 5-1 on Saturday.

The Bears (15-23-2-2) are 14 points out of a playoff spot in the North American Hockey League Midwest Division. The IceRays (22-22-1-0) are four points in the clear for the final playoff spot in the South Division.

The Bears now go on the road to face the Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, the Bears finally broke a scoring slump.

Kenai River showed signs of breaking from a scoring slump on Feb. 1 and 2, when they snapped a sixgame losing streak with a sweep of Topeka.

Still, the Bears had four goals in six regular periods and an overtime in that series.

Friday, the team had one of its best offensive nights of the season in winning a third straight.

The Bears had 17 skaters and two goalies Friday and 12 of those skaters got on the scoresheet in an offensive outburst for a team tied for the second fewest goals in the league.

“Practice has been more fun and more creative,” said Eagle River’s Connor Canterbury. “When practice is creative, it’s really helping us be creative in the games.

We’re having more fun.”

Here’s some stats on the scoring splurge: • The Bears reached five goals at home for the first

time all season.

• The Bears have scored five or more goals five times this season, but two of those came in the first two games of the season.

• The Bears matched their biggest winning goal differential of the season, tying a 4-0 victory over the Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel on Oct. 5 at the sports complex.

• The Bears scored five goals for the first time since a 5-4 victory over the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets on Dec. 28.

In recent weeks, Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich said his team was putting itself in the right position to score, but not executing when the opportunity was there.

“We’ve worked hard on execution,” Petrich said.

“That’s been the odd one out.”

All the goals Friday came on nicely executed plays: • In the first period, Eagle River’s Zach Krajnik carried the puck and found Connor Scahill for a one-timer from the left faceoff circle.

• In the second, JJ Boucher got Markuss Komuls the puck in the slot and Michael Spethmann slotted home the rebound of Komuls’ shot.

• In the third, Canterbury carried the puck all the way up the left side before finding Logan Ritchie on the back door.

• In the third, Komuls split the defense and drove the net hard, with Krajnik cleaning up the rebound.

• Cody Moline then assisted on an empty-netter by Justin Daly.

“It’s belief,” Petrich said.

Fat bikers race and ramble through scenic Caribou Hills

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Fat bike racers hard at work in the third annual Fat Freddie’s Bike Race and Ramble. Snowmachiners whirring up and down the trails. Even a classic skier flashing through the trees.

Different user groups could all agree on one thing Saturday in the Caribou Hills near Freddie’s Roadhouse, which is at Mile 16 Oilwell Road outside of Ninilchik.

“We’re all just here to enjoy the hills, you know?” said Seward’s Chaz DiMarzio.

The event continued to grow, going from 28 riders its first year to 46 last year to 48 this year, though 43 made it to the finish. Sheila Pollard, the race organizer and the daughter of Freddie’s Roadhouse owner Freddie Pollard, said more were expected but a race in Anchorage was shifted to this weekend, knocking

out some potential racers.

Fat Freddie’s is made up of a race, which was 15.5 miles long and had almost 1,800 of elevation gain and loss, and the recreational ramble, which measured about 11.5 miles and also didn’t short itself on the hills.

Anchorage’s Amber Bethe won the women’s race for the second straight year, finishing at 2 hours, 9 minutes and 4 seconds, while Homer’s Catriona Reynolds was second at 2:59:07 and Kenai’s Julie Stephens was third at 3:06:18.

“It’s a fun community event,” Bethe, 44, said.

“It’s a really different crowd than the Anchorage races. People are here to have fun.”

Bethe said it is neat to see the way snowmachiners support and appreciate the race.

“I asked snowmachiners for directions two times and they told me where to See BIKE, page B3

Peninsula region ski streak snapped Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The 19-year streak of at least one peninsula team winning a Region III nordic ski championship was broken Saturday when the Palmer girls and Colony boys made off with the hardware.

The Palmer girls claimed the title amid a tight race between all six teams, racking up a two-day combined team time of 1 hour, 6 minutes, 46 sec-

onds, to beat runner-up Colony by 36 seconds. Soldotna finished third, 1:45 behind the winners, while Homer took fourth and Kenai Central was sixth.

Annika Hanestad defended her Region III girls title from a year ago with

a dominant two-day effort, totaling a combined 32:17 between Friday’s 5K classic and Saturday’s 5K skate races.

Palmer’s Katie Houser was second in 34:23.

Homer junior Autumn Daigle finished fourth in 36:27, while Kenai’s Maria Salzetti was sixth, Soldotna’s Hannah Delker was eighth, Homer’s Katia Holmes was ninth and SoHi’s Erika Arthur was 10th.

what we’re trying to do. We were a really scary team the first 12 games of the season and we can be pretty scary if we start to believe again.”

Petrich said the win still was tough.

The Bears led 2-0 entering the third, but the IceRays’ Brian Kramer scored just 1 minute, 42 seconds into the period.

Less than three minutes later, though, Canterbury made the nice play to Ritchie.

Petrich said Ritchie had missed the blocked shot on the goal, so it was nice to see him come back and make amends on his next shift.

Corpus Christi actually outshot Kenai River 32-26, but Bears goalie Gavin Enright saw his team through the rough patches.

“Gavin is amazing,” Canterbury said.

“Without Gavin, it’s hard to say where we would be. It’s a team effort, but Gavin has kept us in a lot of the games.”

The IceRays have now lost seven of eight. IceRays coach Ryan Cruthers said his team has exceeded expectations, but has forgotten how much hard work that took. Cruthers called his team’s play Friday horrible.

“That was a team tonight that wanted to make the playoffs,” Cruthers said of the Bears. “We were a team happy with college commitments and having fun.”

Saturday, Spethmann scored just 1:12 into the game, but after that it was all Corpus Christi. Brian George made 26 saves for the win, while Enright stopped 25 in the loss.

“We just didn’t bring it tonight,” Kenai River assistant Dan Bogdan said. “The effort wasn’t there.”

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Bill Murray met a pair of baby kangaroos from the Monterey Zoo. Jerry Kelly tried to mimic the peculiar post-swing moves of Ho Sung Choi. Jordan Spieth sent players and fans along two fairways on a frantic search for his tee shot.

All that commotion on celebrity Saturday at Pebble Beach, and Paul Casey missed it all.

He was over at Spyglass Hill, putting together another solid round in the sunshine, rain, cold and wind. Casey had a 5-under 67 and quietly built a three-shot lead over Phil Mickelson going into the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Mickelson delivered plenty of golf entertainment at Pebble Beach, particularly a wedge into 3 feet on the 13th for birdie and a 4-iron he crushed with the wind at his back to 4 feet for an eagle that turned his fortunes, led to a 2-under 70 and put him in good shape for a shot to match Mark O’Meara’s record of five titles at the AT&T Pebble Beach.

“I thought anything in the 60s was going to be a heck of a round, and I was one shy,” Mickelson said. “But I’ve got a good chance going into tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it.”

History might be on Lefty’s side.

Casey, who was at 15-under 200, has never won in his three previous times with a 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour.

Those all occurred in the last three years, and while he was beaten by great closing rounds of great players, Casey shot 2-over par or worse.

But that was the least of his concerns.

“I am having a blast,” said Casey, who last year rallied to win the Valspar Championship during the Florida swing.

He made his PGA Tour debut 18 years ago at Pebble Beach, missing the cut with Seth Waugh, now the chief executive of the PGA of America. He played again, and then he didn’t return for 16 years.

Part of that was his European Tour membership, with events in the Middle East.

SoHi girls lose 2nd straight day at Dimond Staff report Peninsula Clarion

A day after their perfect season came to an end, the Soldotna girls lost again in a 58-42 game to West Valley at the Lady Lynx Prep Shootout at Dimond.

The Stars dropped to 17-2 overall this season after winning on Saturday.

SoHi won their opening day game Wednesday over Ketchikan to earn their spot in the tournament’s Gold Bracket, but two straight losses to Dimond and West Valley left them competing for seventh-place honors Saturday at 11:15 p.m. against West Anchorage.

In the Lady Lynx Maroon Bracket, Kenai Central lost 36-32 to Lathrop in the semifinals and will face South Anchorage for third place in the bracket Saturday at noon.

In the loss to West Valley, the SoHi girls were led by Aliann Schmidt’s 15 points, Brittani Blossom’s 11 points and Ituau Tuisaula’s 10. The Wolfpack were led by Sierra Tate, who got going early and ended with 19 points West Valley built a 34-22 lead by halftime, then held on as SoHi cut the advantage down to 42-33 entering the fourth quarter. The Wolfpack sealed the win by outscoring the Stars 16-9 in the final quarter.

In the Kenai game, the Kardinals led 25-24 entering the fourth quarter, but Lathrop slipped by with a 12-7 run to take the win.

Lathrop’s Ella Roberts scored seven of her game-high 16 points in the fourth quarter, including her team’s last five points. Kenai got 14 points from Jaycie Calvert on four 3-pointers, and Brooke Satathite chipped in eight.

go,” Bethe said. “They were all nice and slowed down.”

Stephens, 57, has now completed all three Fat Freddie’s.

“It’s fun to bike with friends, and when it’s clear here, it’s absolutely gorgeous,” she said.

Stephens said she appreciated the way Sheila Pollard solicits comments on the event and makes improvements. A big improvement this year were large, color-coded signs for the race and ramble.

The Kenai resident also said it’s great to watch how the event is growing into the culture of the Caribou Hills.

“It was really cool that snowmachiners cheered for us in certain sections,” Stephens said. “Some were taking photos and they all were clapping for us.”

The men’s race went to Sterling’s Tyle Owens, 17, in a sprint finish against DiMarzio, 39. Owens finished at 1:41:08, while DiMarzio was at 1:41:18 and Brian Marang was third at 1:48:30.

Kenai’s defense played strong in the second quarter, helping the Kards outscore the Malamutes 8-1 to give Kenai a 15-12 halftime lead.

Homer Winter Carnival Friday in Homer, the host Mariner girls beat Seward 43-28, while the Homer boys prevailed 51-35 over Seward.

In other games, the Galena boys beat Sitka 57-47 while the Galena girls beat Sitka 46-43.

The Homer boys staked out a 28-15 lead at halftime, but the Seahawks kept them honest by winning the third quarter and keeping the deficit to 39-28, but the Mariners held on to beat their conference opponents.

Stanley Swoboda hit five treys to lead Homer with 17 points, while Seward was paced by Connor Spanos’ 12 points and Sam Koster’s 10.

In the girls game, Marina Carroll fueled the Mariners with 19 points while the Homer defense did the rest. Homer held Seward to five points in the first half, but the Seahawks finally awoke and outscored Homer 13-9 in the third quarter to cut the gap to 24-18.

The Mariners eventually came back and held on for the win with a 19-10 fourth quarter, hitting 13 free throws in the final eight minutes.

Ninilchik Invitational Tournament The Ninilchik boys prevailed 55-35 Friday over their conference rivals Cook Inlet Academy.

Garrett Koch and George Nelson paved the way to victory with 14 points each, while Jake Clark had 11 and Cole Hadro pitched in 10. Mason Zeigler and Josh Boyd scored 10 each to pace CIA. The Wolverines raced out to leads of 22-8 in the first quar-

CIA boys also defeated Aniak on Friday with a score of 71-57.

Zeigler netted 32 points for the Eagles and was 8 for 12 from the foul line.

Aniak stayed close to CIA, trailing 31-26 at the half and 4540 at the end of three quarters, but CIA finally pulled away in the fourth by outscoring Aniak 25-17.

In girls action Friday, Cook Inlet Academy got the better of their conference foes Ninilchik in a 40-19 win thanks to hot shooting from behind the arc.

The Eagles led 19-12 at halftime, then buried four 3’s in the third quarter to build a 32-16 gap over the Wolverines.

Adara Warren led Ninilchik with 17 points, including two treys in the third quarter, while Isabella Koch paced CIA with 11 points.

haps not as dramatic as it sounds.

“You don’t go too much faster when you stand up on a fat bike and sprint in the snow,” said Owens, estimating the two upped the pace by four mph at most.

DiMarzio won the Soggy Bottom 100 mountain bike race on the Resurrection Pass and Devil’s Creek trails in early August, while Owens was third. But DiMarzio focuses on skiing during the winter, while Owens is still faithfully riding his trainer inside. He does four hours Monday and works his way up to 10 to 12 hours for the week.

“My approach was to go hard at the start and see how long I could hold it,” DiMarzio said. “I held it until the end, when I lost to someone who’s actually been riding bikes.”

Owens surprised himself with the win. The two went back and forth all race.

On the steep uphills, when bikes had to be run up the hill, DiMarzio would take the advantage because he still puts in trail runs around Seward. But on the flats and downhills, it was advantage Owens.

“I thought he was going to smoke me,” Owens said

of DiMarzio. “I didn’t know how much riding he’d been doing but I knew he’d be fast.”

The Red Pedal Award went to Carl Kincaid, 57, of Sterling. Kincaid was third in the first Fat Freddie’s, sat out after back surgery last year, and came back this year to claim the trophy with the red pedal.

“I’ll add it to my collection,” he said.

Kincaid was just happy to be back on a bike and back in the Caribou Hills. He’s an avid racer at Tsalteshi Trails in the summer and said that bike culture there has definitely helped to fuel events like Fat Freddie’s.

About 25 years ago, Kincaid rode snowmachines in the hills.

“It’s a lot more fun up here on a bike,” he said.

Kincaid said riders would park in Clam Gulch and have to snowmachine all the way up. Things are different now with Oilwell Road. Racers from places like Kenai and Sterling were driving to Freddie’s in about an hour and a half.

“This is so nice with this place here now, and it all opens to this great playground,” Kincaid said.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Feb. 10, the 41st day of 2019. There are 324 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 10, 1962, the Soviet Union exchanged captured American U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers for Rudolf Abel, a Soviet spy held by the United States.

On this date: In 1840, Britain’s Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

In 1841, Upper Canada and Lower Canada were proclaimed united under an Act of Union passed by the British Parliament.

In 1863, showman P.T. Barnum staged the wedding of General Tom Thumb and Mercy Lavinia Warren -- both little persons -- in New York City.

In 1936, Nazi Germany’s Reichstag passed a law investing the Gestapo secret police with absolute authority, exempt from any legal review.

In 1949, Arthur Miller’s play “Death of a Salesman” opened at Broadway’s Morosco Theater with Lee J. Cobb as Willy Loman.

In 1959, a major tornado tore through the St. Louis area, killing 21 people and causing heavy damage.

In 1967, the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, dealing with presidential disability and succession, was ratified as Minnesota and Nevada adopted it.

In 1968, U.S. figure skater Peggy Fleming, 19, won America’s only gold medal of the Winter Olympic Games in Grenoble, France, in the ladies’ singles event. (Gabriele Seyfert of East Germany earned the silver medal, Hana Maskova of Czechoslovakia, the bronze.)

In 1981, eight people were killed when a fire set by a busboy broke out at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel-casino.

In 1992, boxer Mike Tyson was convicted in Indianapolis of raping Desiree Washington, a Miss Black America contestant. (Tyson served three years in prison.) Author Alex Haley died in Seattle at age 70.

In 2004, the White House, trying to end doubts about President George W. Bush’s Vietnam-era military service, released documents it said proved he had met his requirements in the Texas Air National Guard. Democrat John Kerry won the Virginia and Tennessee primaries.

In 2005, playwright Arthur Miller died in Roxbury, Connecticut, at age 89 on the 56th anniversary of the Broadway opening of “Death of a Salesman.”

Ten years ago: The Senate approved President Barack Obama’s giant economic stimulus measure. U.S. and Russian communication satellites collided in the first-ever crash of its kind in orbit, shooting out a pair of massive debris clouds. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni’s (TSIH’pee LIHV’-neez) centrist Kadima Party narrowly won the most seats in Israel’s 120-member parliament. (However, it was Benjamin Netanyahu who ended up forming the new Israeli government.)

Five years ago: In Iraq, an instructor teaching his militant recruits how to make car bombs accidentally set off explosives in his demonstration, killing 21 of them in a blast that alerted authorities to the existence of a training camp north of Baghdad. Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany won Olympic gold at Sochi in the super-combined less than a second ahead of both silver medalist Nicole Hosp of Austria and Julia Mancuso of the United States, who won the bronze. Actress-turned-diplomat Shirley Temple Black, 85, died at her home near San Francisco.

One year ago: Israel carried out a wave of airstrikes in Syria that were ordered after Israel intercepted an Iranian drone that had infiltrated its airspace; it was the most serious Israeli engagement in Syria since the war erupted there almost seven years earlier. In a tweet that appeared to take aim at the rising #MeToo movement, President Donald Trump wrote that “lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation;” the tweet came in the aftermath of the resignation of a pivotal aide, Rob Porter, who’d been accused of abusing two ex-wives. The Korean women’s hockey team, the first in Olympic history to combine players from the North and South, lost its debut game, 8-0, to Switzerland before a cheering, chanting sellout crowd at the Winter Olympics in South Korea.

ASK A DESIGNER: Options abound in flooring today

When managing birdfeeders, think bird health and safety Feeding birds in winter is one of the nation’s most popular wildlife-watching activities, yet many ornithologists say it’s often more rewarding for people than for birds. And it might even put wild birds at risk.

“Feeding birds is not necessary for their survival except in extreme weather conditions,” said Stephen Kress, vice-president for bird conservation at the National Audubon Society. “Feeders can definitely help them get through that kind of weather.”

Most birds are insect eaters and aren’t attracted to backyard feeders. “For those birds, I recommend planting natural habitat and native plants,” Kress said.

Besides, birds who do eat seed “will be more likely to come to feeders if there is some cover nearby. They’ll be able to feed and dodge back into the safety of shrubbery.”

The most common error people make when managing bird feeders is incorrect placement — putting them in locations where birds are frightened by foot traffic, vulnerable to predation by cats, or at risk of flying into windows.

“If a feeder is within 3 feet of a window, it’s better,” Kress said. “If a bird is spooked, it won’t be killed when it strikes the glass. And keep your cats indoors so they can’t stalk vulnerable birds and animals.”

Learn which bird species frequent your area so you can avoid feeder wars and understand the pecking order.

“Some birds are more aggressive at feeders,” Kress said. “Their eating habits are such that they can consume a lot and not leave much for the others.”

One answer to that is to feed at multiple locations using different kinds of seeds and feeders. Nyjer seeds, for instance, attract goldfinches, while tube feeders with wire covers prevent large birds from entering.

Pay attention to seed quality and freshness. Unprotected seed left too long in feeders will turn mouldy, and mould can kill foraging wildlife. Refresh your feeders every few days and clean them frequently by soaking in a solution of 10 per cent bleach.

“You can feed more effectively and efficiently by using black-oil sunflower seeds, as it is the preferred seed by most feeder birds,” said Adam Rohnke, a senior Extension associate at Mississippi State University. “An added benefit is reducing waste seed (on the ground) from seed mixes which can attract rodents.”

“Boost the number and diversity of bird species by providing different types of feeders to resemble their natural feeding behaviours,” Rohnke said in an email.

“For example, ground-dwelling birds such as doves, towhees and others prefer low platform feeders because they feed on the ground.”

Along with black-oil sunflower and nyjer seeds, feeder-friendly birds like suet (woodpeckers, jays, songbirds), fruit (orioles, bluebirds, waxwings) and mealworms (robins, chickadees, wrens).

Do not feed wild birds anything salty (whole peanuts, crackers, potato chips) or food that could choke them (plain bread, fats).

Provide a steady supply of clean water but shop around for shallow birdbath designs. Most are too deep for birds, Kress said.

Placing a few large stones in a birdbath can provide perches.

“Hummingbirds like to bathe in leaves, so spray large leaves to attract them,” Kress said.

By Melissa Rayworth THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A stunning sofa or a beautiful wall colour might catch your eye when you enter someone’s home. But flooring is the key to any room, says interior designer Elina Cardet.

As the visual base for every other design choice, “flooring is the most important decision,” says Cardet, interior design director at Perkins and Will’s Miami office. Beauty matters, as does durability and also comfort: “You’re going to be barefoot on this floor,” she points out.

Recent technological innovations have created a wide variety of flooring options today.

Cardet and two other interior design experts — Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio in Houston and Jacqueline Touzet of Touzet Studio in Miami — offer advice on making this key design decision:

HARDWOOD CHOICES There are many synthetic versions of hardwood floors these days — products that promise to look and feel like solid wood but cost less.

Some can look lovely, these designers agree. But they advise moving cautiously.

“There’s not enough history to know if it’s going to hold up,” says Rottet, whereas hardwood offers durability and longevity. “A beautiful wood floor is classic.”

Cardet suggests that “if it’s possible and your budget allows it, to try to invest in hardwoods that are certified, to make sure it comes from a forest that was well managed.”

Which style of hardwood

should you choose? Wide plank floors are popular right now. But Rottet points out that since they have fewer joints than narrower plank floors, there is less opportunity for the floor to expand and contract over time.

The occasional crack might happen, depending on your climate, and may need to be patched with wood putty and re-stained. Wide planks also tend to be more expensive.

So the traditional, narrower wood planks can be a more practical choice.

NEW TECHNIQUES AND Colours Cerusing is a technique involving sanding the wood, putting white paint on it, and then sanding it again to create contrast and draw attention to the beauty of the grain. It creates what these designers describe as a “smoky” look.

You can also find wood floors that have been “smoked” through a traditional process from the arts and crafts movement that involves adding ammonia to the air when the wood is being processed. Touzet says the result gives the flooring a range of colours.

What shade of stain should you choose?

Light-colored floors can make a room feel larger, but Rottet says some light oak floors can fade to a yellowish colour. Gray is also popular for wood floors right now. But “you have to be careful with grey,” she says, “because it can bleach toward green.”

Keep in mind that a floor that gets lots of direct light may change appearance over time.

Dark brown, nearly black shades can also be beautiful, Rottet says. Just be

aware that you may need to sweep often. Darker shades, whether in wood or ceramic tile, will also help a space feel warmer, Cardet says.

Overall, Cardet suggests making conservative choices with flooring colours and styles, then getting creative with area rugs that can be replaced if your taste changes.

CONSIDERING CONCRETE AND TILE Concrete floors are trendy and can be beautiful. But over time, cracks can form, and there’s little that can be done to prevent them. Some people don’t mind the look, so use concrete only if cracks won’t bother you.

Concrete floors also don’t absorb sound well.

Another option is large porcelain tiles that look similar to concrete or stone.

“We love terrazzo instead of concrete,” Touzet says. “It’s been around for centuries, and you can get the aggregates pretty fine, so it almost looks like a concrete floor.”

Porcelain is generally durable, although it can chip. Cardet recommends “through-body” tile, which is made of the same mate-

rial all the way through. It can be more expensive, but because the colour isn’t just on the surface, the look of the floor isn’t ruined if there are chips.

In choosing tile or stone, many customers are increasingly aware of durability. “We have been seeing less of limestones that are super-precious and soft,” Touzet says. “People want an ease of living with their floor, not constantly maintaining it, putting a sealant on it.”

SECRET SAVINGS If you don’t have the budget to do an entire room in hardwood but wish you could, Rottet has a creative solution: Put down carpeting throughout the room, but add a wood border that’s several inches thick around the edges of the room. It will appear as though your carpeting is actually a rug sitting on top of hardwood.

Carpeting is less popular these days, Touzet says, because of concerns about dust and air quality. But you can find a low-pile carpet and choose natural materials such as wool to avoid those issues.

And one affordable, retro trend that may be returning: high-end vinyl floors with the look of stone or wood.

Change your screen habits from time-wasting to money-saving eraging three to four hours on YouTube every day.’ It adds up,” Johansson says.

Once you’ve tracked your habits or checked your phone’s tally of your usage, make some judgment calls about which activities are (or are not) a good use of your time.

DOUBLE DOWN ON YOUR APPS In this file photo, a man checks his phone in Cambridge, Mass. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File)

By COURTNEY JESPERSEN of NerdWallet

Apple’s Screen Time feature can tell you more about your iPhone usage than you may care to know.

Like how many text notifications you receive, the number of hours you spend on social networking and how your total usage on any given day stacks up against your average.

The numbers don’t lie, but they can be surprising.

If you find yourself wasting too much of your day on your phone or tablet, here are some ideas for how to use your time and de-

vices for something more productive — like saving money.

DOUBLE-CLICK ON YOUR USAGE First, be honest about how many hours you spend staring at a screen.

Mike Johansson, a senior lecturer in communication at Rochester Institute of Technology, has asked his students to keep track of how they spend their time.

“Over time, I had a few students who came back to me and said, ‘I was amazed.

I didn’t realize that over the course of a week I was av-

If you can’t put down your phone completely, try switching the applications you use most frequently. If you’re going to be on your phone, you might as well make it worthwhile, right?

Instead of opening YouTube, Instagram or Facebook, here are some of the apps and tools that can be a more effective use of your screen time: — FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS. Download and check the apps for your various financial accounts.

“The first app people should sign in to every day is their bank’s app and any credit card apps they use,” Robert P. Finley, a certified financial planner and the principal of Virtue Asset Management in Illinois,

said in an email. “First, this process will help them better understand their daily spending, and second, help them keep an eye out for any fraud.”

— BUDGETING APPS. Similarly, budgeting apps like Mint and PocketGuard can assist in keeping your spending in check. Use these regularly to get a better handle on your cash flow and how much money you’re devoting to each category of your budget.

— ORGANIZERS. Organization tools like Evernote and OmniFocus can help, too. Open up these apps to create shopping lists to prevent you from buying extra things you don’t need, or to-do lists to ensure you pay all of your bills on time.

— COUPON FINDERS. Coupon apps, including Coupons.com and CouponCabin , compile coupons for free. Take the time to consult these before shopping to lower the amount of money you’re spending on life’s necessities, such as groceries or household supplies.

— CASH-BACK SITES. Take the extra step

to use cash-back websites such as Ebates and BeFrugal to earn money back on purchases you’re already making.

— FREEBIES. Sure, social media is free, but there are other free apps that could be more educational. Libby, for example, is a reading app that uses your library card to access e-books and audiobooks for free.

DOUBLE-CHECK THE CLOCK While these apps are helpful, it can be freeing to cut down your screen time completely. And contradictory as it sounds, your phone can actually help you limit the amount of time you spend on your phone.

Some apps help you stay off your device altogether.

Flipd, for example, calls itself a “digital nudge” to discourage phone usage.

Download the app to lock yourself out of your downloaded apps for a certain period of time, says Alanna Harvey, co-founder of Flipd.

“Flipd is a productivity

and time management app that people use to help motivate themselves to not get distracted by their phones when they should be doing other tasks more mindfully like studying, reading and spending quality time with family and friends,” Harvey says.

If saving money is your goal, you can add financial management to that list of things to do in the real (not virtual) world. If it helps, get off your phone and spend some time with an old-fashioned paper budget, calculator, your credit card statement and checkbook.

And perhaps most importantly, start by changing your mindset. You don’t have to be tethered to your phone.

“Once upon a time, people literally would call your house, and if you weren’t there, they would call back later,” Johansson says.

Army aims for more combat-ready troops with new fitness test

By LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press

FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Army soldiers struggle to haul heavy sleds backward as fast as they can down a grassy field at Fort Bragg, filling the brisk North Carolina morning air with grunts of exertion and the shouts of instruction from their coaches.

Watching from the sidelines, Sgt. Maj. Harold Sampson shakes his head.

As a military intelligence specialist he spends a lot of time behind a desk. Over his two decades in the Army, he could easily pound out the situps, pushups and 2-mile run that for years have made up the service’s fitness test.

But change has come. The Army is developing a new, more grueling and complex fitness exam that adds dead lifts, power throws and other exercises designed to make soldiers more fit and ready for combat. “I am prepared to be utterly embarrassed,” Sampson said on a recent morning, two days before he was to take the test.

Commanders have complained in recent years that the soldiers they get out of basic training aren’t fit enough. Nearly half of the commanders surveyed last year said new troops coming into their units could not meet the physical demands of combat. Officials also say about 12 percent of soldiers at any one time cannot deploy because of injuries.

In addition, there has long been a sense among many senior officials that the existing fitness test does not adequately measure the physical attributes needed for the battlefield, said Gen. Stephen Townsend, head of U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command.

The new test, “may be harder, but it is necessary,” Townsend said.

Reaching the new fitness levels will be challenging.

Unlike the old fitness test, which graded soldiers differently based on age and gender, the new one will be far more physically demanding and will not adjust the passing scores for older or female soldiers.

For example, in the current test — two minutes of situps, two minutes of pushups, a 2-mile run — younger soldiers must do more repetitions and run faster to pass and get maximum scores than those who are older or female.

Townsend said the new test was designed based on scientific research that matched specific exercises to tasks that soldiers in combat must do: sprint away from fire, carry a wounded comrade on a stretcher, haul cans of fuel to a truck.

The scoring is divided into three levels that require soldiers with more physically demanding jobs, such as infantry or armor, to score higher.

“We needed to change the culture of fitness in the United States Army. We had a high number of nondeployable soldiers that had a lot of muscular/skeletal injuries and medical challenges because we hadn’t trained them from a fitness perspective in the right way,” said Army Maj. Gen. Malcolm Frost, commander of the Army’s Center for Initial Military Training and the officer in charge of developing the new fitness test. “The goal is about a having a more combatready army.”

Frost said that about onethird of the soldiers who

come into the service leave before their third year, many because of muscular skeletal injuries. The new test, he said, will help screen out recruits who are less physically fit and mentally disciplined. Those who make the cut are more likely to stay in the service.

It will also challenge senior officers such as Sampson, who have been doing less physical desk jobs.

“It breaks the mindset of ‘I am an intel soldier,’” said Sampson. “It changes it to ‘I am a soldier,’ because bullets on the battlefield don’t discriminate.”

The Associated Press was with Frost on a recent sunny Tuesday as he watched soldiers from three battalions go through the test. The six events take nearly an hour and are done in order with only a few minutes rest in between: —a dead lift, with weights between 140 pounds and 340 pounds.

—a standing power throw, which requires soldiers to throw a 10-pound medicine ball backward and overhead.

—hand-release pushups, completing as many as possible in two minutes.

—the “sprint-drag-carry” that includes a 50-yard sprint, a 50-yard backward sled drag, a 50-yard lateral, where soldiers shuttle sideways down the lane and back, a 50-yard carry of two 40-pound kettle bells and a 50-yard sprint.

—after a short rest, the soldiers do the leg tuck pullup, as many as possible in two minutes.

—a 2-mile run.

“Many folks find it easy to do the maximum standard for the current test,” Frost said. “This new test

is gender and age neutral. I cannot max this test.”

Across the country, 63 battalions are working on the final test development and will eventually go back to their units and train others.

By Oct. 1, the entire Army will be using the test. By October 2020, it will be the official exam that all soldiers will have to pass.

Technique is key to success.

As the soldiers lined up to fling the medicine ball back over their heads, coaches stood by ready to shove them out of the way if the ball went straight up and came right back down.

The first throws landed with a chorus of thuds; many throws fell short. But the second and third tries went farther as soldiers figured out when to release the ball.

Next they quickly moved to pushups.

Crouched beside a soldier straining to master the hand-release, Frost shouts out encouragement and then drops down to demonstrate proper form. Each time the

soldier lowers his body, both hands must quickly lift off the ground and immediately press back down for the next pushup.

A few lanes away, Staff Sgt. Idis Arroyo, has started what most consider the toughest element, the sprint-drag-carry.

Pulling the 90-pound sled backward down the lane, her feet slip and she stumbles.

“C’mon get up! Get up, pull, pull!” a coach yells. Arroyo bounces up, drags it to the end and shifts quickly to the next movement.

How hard was it?

“It was pretty difficult,” said Arroyo, who is with the 519th Military Intelligence Battalion. “Once we got into the sprint-drag-carry and then sprint again and the laterals and all that, I think that was actually the hardest part.”

But she said she knows it will help her when she has to embed with a combat unit.

Commanders said the test will be harder at first for less fit soldiers or longtime veterans, who are in less physical

jobs, and many may fail at first. But they said that over time, as soldiers adjust and get stronger, their scores will improve.

Lt. Col. Eric Haas, commander of Arroyo’s battalion, watched as his soldiers powered through the test.

He said it was very telling to watch fit leaders struggle.

“This is a good assessment of where we are physically,” Haas said. “For years I’ve been taking the Army physical fitness test and that’s the most miserable I think I’ve seen a 2-mile finish line.”

Sampson, who is also with the 519th battalion and has deployed three times to Iraq and Afghanistan, said improving fitness will make his soldiers more prepared to do their jobs.

“It doesn’t matter that 90 percent of the time I may sit in a chair working behind a computer,” he said. “I’m going to have to move a person from point A to point B.” As for his expected embarrassment on the test? He scored well and passed.

Community The big bowl that wasn’t U nhinged

A laska N ick V arney

This column has two objectives. The first is to vent about the cosmic implosion masquerading as a Super bowl last Sunday.

The second will deal with some serious research that I’ve just completed on Alaskan ice that was prompted by a semi sober inquiry from a reader currently residing in Death Valley.

The Super Bowl wasn’t. If our guests would have had an option, they would have rather sat through a power nap contest between two rival day care centers or a course on slow motion Bonsai tree trimming.

By halftime they were ready to switch to the highlights of the earlier Puppy Bowl.

We should have. Even though we considered the first half to have been a bland bowl of tepid tapioca, the halftime show was an off-key cacophony of performers who sounded more like they were having sneezing fits or gastronomical issues than performing songs.

Two minutes into the extravaganza, the only class act was when our dogs bolted for the basement and refused to return until

their duty time prior to retiring.

What can I say? Adam Feline and the Purr-oon 5 blew the tats off of Adam Levine and the Maroon 5 when you compare the kitty band at the Puppy Bowl to their mewling competitors at the “big event” featuring teams comprised of cast extras from the Walking Dead.

Hey, some good came out of that waste of oxygen in Atlanta. The refs involved in the superlative no call in New Orleans have been relocated to safe havens deep in South America where they’ve found gainful employment as probational target stand-ins for minor league Jai Alai teams and the Patriots’ wide receiver, Julian Edelman can run unopposed for the mayor of Boston anytime he wants to hang up his cleats.

As for game’s MVP award, there should have been two. One for Edelman’s skills that kept the game watchable and the second for Gladys Knight and her superlative rendition of our National Anthem. Her class act, at least, made part of the broadcast memorable.

Moving right along: Our Unhinged Alaska office receives some rather odd emails such as the one submitted last week by Ricardo F. of Death Valley, California.

Nick, I read your Unhinged Alaska Column, “So you think this is cold” and you people must be totally out of it to live up there.

If you were military and stationed in the

state, then I could understand it but voluntarily? No way!

By the way, how thick is the ice covering Alaska? How is glacier ice formed and is Homer located on one?

Desert Dweller Rick Dear Ricardo, I think the Mohave heat and drifting sand in your Jockeys is making you a bit delusional but I can see where the column might have confused you.

There are several areas in Alaska that are not covered by ice, such as most of the state especially our state capitol Juneau where hot gaseous anomalies known as legislative sessions keeps the city from glazing over except for the eyes of the politicians.

It is not true that glacial ice is formed when some of our valleys do not get properly defrosted during the forty- eight hour, summers. Our summers have been known to last up to almost up to a month.

FYI, we have several other species of ice.

First, there is domesticated or, ‘tame ice’, such as ice cubes, ice rinks, Popsicles, sno-cones and ice cream. Then there is Ninja ice, which is the sneaky stuff lurking beneath fresh snow or rain causing pedestrians to end up wearing their butts as earmuffs when they take less than cool gymnastic headers crossing a parking lot.

It has a big brother called black ice that occasionally paints the surface of our winter highways and byways spawning spontane-

ous demolition derbies and adds to the excitement of night driving over a mountain pass or just trying to get out of Anchorage without a bullet hole in your car.

Let’s not forget ‘wild ice’ such as ice burgs, icicles and ice storms. Nor, should we overlook the infamous ambiguous ices such ice tea which can be either a sipping beverage or an aging L.A. rapper. Eskimo ice cream also falls into the category of ambiguous because it is neither, ice or cream and has the distinction of offering a licking a double scoop berry flavored Crisco.

So, as you can see, Ricardo, Alaska does have some serious ice but we are not plastered with it.

Nor does Homer sit on a glacier but the real estate surrounding it did when the Kenai Mountains initially coughed up ice that is now known as the Moosehorn stade during the Naptowne glaciation period some 9,500 to 25,000 years ago. (I threw that in there because it was way more interesting than the Monday sports columns on the Super Bowl.)

By the way, according to certain politicians with combined IQs of bread mold and the scientific expertise of deranged orangutans snorting Ajax, claim the world will be set on “broil” in 12 years unless we embrace kale as major food source, so it looks like we are in for a quick thaw. Come on up.

Learning for Life Better Beverages

EU takes on single-use plastics

Water, humble fluid that it may be, is a vital nutrient for the life of every cell. Without it we simply cannot survive.

In fact, the adult human body contains approximately 60 percent water, which it uses to lubricate our joints, flush waste from our tissues, and metabolize our food, just to name a few.

Is your body getting enough water to function healthfully or are you filling it with sugary beverages instead? The average American takes in about 400 calories per day in beverages. Many people consume more. Replacing your drinks with water can help you manage calories, save money, and improve health.

Consider keeping a pitcher of water in the refrigerator so it’s always cold and accessible. Adding slices of lemon or oranges gives water a refreshing, enjoyable taste that may encourage you to drink more. Stop buying sodas and sugary beverages, and remember to carry a water bottle with you on the go. When you do crave a sweet drink, 100 percent juice is a great option. For tips on making better beverage choices, stop by our office at 43961 K-Beach Rd., Suite A, Soldotna, AK 99669.

Last month, on Jan. 18, the European Union passed new rules putting a stop to the use of many single-use plastics: cups, cutlery, straws, bowls, plates and packaging for which alternatives exist. Designing better, recyclable and compostable plastics are in the measure.

“We have designed the most ambitious legislation against single-use plastics,” said Frédérique Ries, the member of the European Parliament who proposed the bill. “It is essential in order to protect the marine environment and reduce the costs of environmental damage attributed to plastic pollution in Europe, estimated at 22 billion euros by 2030. (1 euro= $1.13 US).

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Feb. 10, 2019: This year, you open up to a lot of changes in your daily environment. You also are more willing to fight for a cause.

Others might need to readjust to your newfound temperament. If single, your domestic life becomes more important.

You might want to have a live-in relationship. Make sure the person is right for you before you leap to the next step, though. If attached, the two of you enjoy your domestic life more than ever. You could decide to do some remodeling or move. TAURUS might not be the best sign to share ideas with.

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 intuition points to a new way of thinking. You might listen to others and see what they say in a new light.

You may act on an uncomfortable issue you have avoided.

Tonight: Others surprise you with their delight.

This Week: Just because the week starts out mellow, do not count on a nonvolatile few days!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might weigh the pros and cons of a certain friendship or occurrence relating to this friend. Say little and listen as much as possible. You could be surprised by an insight that evolves as a result. Tonight: Go out, making the most of every moment.

This Week: You feel better than you have for a sustained period.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Accept an invitation that could surround you with friends -- and some strangers, too. A partner might relax a little more than he or she has of late. An older friend or relative might have an interesting slant on information. Tonight: Settle in for a good night’s sleep.

This Week: Stay quiet and do not push. You will see others’ agendas appear midweek.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Make plans for brunch or a late lunch with an older relative. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated. You will process your feelings more easily if you stay active. Recognize what is happening with a friend who’s been trying to connect. Tonight: Go out with pals.

This Week: Where your friends are might be where you want to be. Express your thoughts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Accept a challenge that involves a favorite sport.

You could find yourself playing Scrabble or poker, or enjoying some other game together. A discussion could evolve that carries significance. Tonight: Check in with an older friend or relative.

This Week: Be more understanding with a boss or higherup. Midweek, go for what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A loved one tries to make a point, whether you are ready to hear it or not. This person likes action and has little tolerance for endless thinking. You often disagree be-

Dear Heloise: I don’t like to see all these animals IN THE GROCERY STORE. One time I said something, and the person said, “I couldn’t leave the animal at home.”

I am allergic to animal fur and cannot find a store that doesn’t have people bringing their dogs.

These aren’t service dogs; they don’t have vests, nor are they trained. Are there rules about this? -- Roland D., Colorado Springs, Colo.

Roland, this subject is bound to get folks’ ire up. You may be describing an emotional support animal. ESAs provide comfort in a general sense, but because they don’t perform one designated task, they aren’t endorsed by the Americans with Disabilities Act, and they can be denied admittance to food stores, restaurants and other establishments.

Service animals are protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. A service animal is specifically trained to help someone with a medical condition: blindness, most commonly. These animals are allowed in food stores, restaurants, etc.

cause of your different approaches. Tonight: A chat could evolve into a trip.

This Week: News heads in from a distance. You have reason to celebrate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to someone and let this person have the feeling of being empowered. Consider a change of pace, or adapt your schedule to new needs. Take a loved one out for a movie and dinner. Tonight: Decide to share more with that special person.

This Week: Work with others. They hold the power at the moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could feel as if someone could be taking a hard stand. Your creativity could help you move past another person’s naysaying, surprising even this person. Your relationship moves to a new level as a result. Tonight: Get into the moment.

This Week: Defer to others. You will carry less responsibility and avoid a very hot issue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Plug your high energy into a favorite pastime. Do not let this energy drift into an unsatisfying event. You relate well to someone younger, who naturally gravitates to you.

Make plans to go skating or do another activity. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

This Week: You might need to play it low-key at the beginning of the week. Others could become dominant midweek.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Tension might have plagued the home front over the past few days. Make a choice to move past stress and get active. Allow your more playful side to emerge when dealing with a loved one or child. Tonight: Share with others.

They will like your change in outlook.

This Week: Allow your good mood and ingenuity to dominate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You suddenly might feel overwhelmed by invitations and calls. Do not walk away; get into the moment. You discover how contagious your mood can be, and vice versa.

You end the afternoon ready for another weekend! Tonight: Head home early.

This Week: Getting going might be difficult until Wednesday. At that point, you’ll feel more like dealing with the outside world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Balance your checkbook again if you are shopping.

You are capable of tremendous damage if you do not honor your budget. You might want to turn away from temptation and go to a movie. Tonight: Visit with friends over munchies and a drink.

This Week: Ask and question. You will understand what is going on with others. Make a decision accordingly.

We Love Chocolate!

Is chocolate one of your top treats? If so, you are not alone. The average American eats about 12 pounds each year. This adds up to more than 3 billion pounds!

People buy about 48 million pounds of chocolate candy during Valentine’s week.

They buy even more chocolate for Halloween, Easter and Christmas.

Let’s learn more about this sweet treat.

Where do we get chocolate?

People make chocolate from the seeds of the cacao (kah-KOW) tree. It grows in the wild in the rainforests of Central and South America. It is also grown on farms in other tropical areas.

Cacao trees grow about 30 feet tall. In the wild, taller trees growing around them protect them from tropical heat, wind and dryness.

An ancient drink

Each cacao pod is about the size of a pineapple. Each pod holds roughly 30 to 50 seeds, enough to make about seven milk chocolate bars.

About 3,000 years ago, the Maya people in Mexico and Central America created a spicy chocolate drink. This was not the sweet chocolate we drink today.

Cacao seeds are bitter-tasting. The Maya ground the seeds into a paste and mixed it with water. They gave their chocolate an even

Solid chocolate

Mini Fact:

In the late 1600s and the 1700s, Italian chefs began using chocolate as a flavoring in other foods. They liked it so much that they put chocolate in everything. They even coated liver in chocolate and fried it!

Then, in 1776, a Frenchman invented a machine to grind cacao seeds into a paste.

Other inventions soon followed. Producing chocolate became much easier and cheaper.

People buy more than 36 million heartshaped boxes of chocolates for Valentine’s Day.

Candy arrives

sharper taste by mixing it with spices such as red peppers.

The Maya drank their chocolate in religious and political ceremonies. It was a valuable trade item, and they introduced their chocolate drink to other people, including the Aztecs.

Finally, after thousands of years, people invented solid chocolate candy. In 1847, Fry and Sons Co. in England sold the first solid chocolate candy. In 1868, Richard Cadbury introduced the first Valentine’s boxed chocolates in England.

Aztecs and chocolate

Cacao trees did not grow in the cooler areas of what is now Mexico, where the Aztecs lived.

They had to trade across long distances to get the The Aztecs believed seeds. that drinking Cacao seeds were chocolate could give so valuable that Aztecs them the wisdom and used them as money knowledge of their in the 1400s to 1500s. god Quetzalcoatl (kwet-suhl-kuh They offered cacao WAH-tl). seeds to their gods.

Their chocolate drink was drunk mainly by royalty, priests, and warriors and merchants receiving special honors.

Chocolate Fact-a-roonies

• It takes about 400 cacao seeds to make 1 pound of chocolate.

• A cacao tree doesn’t produce beans for the first four to five years of its life. The trees can live to be 200 years old!

• Cacao and cocoa are the same thing; cacao is the Spanish spelling.

• Hershey’s makes 70 million Kisses every day!

Europeans discover chocolate In the early 1500s, Spanish explorers learned of the valuable chocolate drink from the Aztecs. They took cacao seeds back to Spain.

The Spanish mixed the drink with sugar.

Chocolate and sugar were both expensive, so only the wealthy could drink hot chocolate.

In the next 100 years, visiting Europeans tasted it in Spain and wanted it too.

Cook’s Corner

Food waste from China’s expanding cities has become such a problem that firms are being encouraged to set up urban waste farms that use cockroaches to eat the scraps. One facility feeds food waste the equivalent in weight to seven adult elephants each day to a billion captive roaches. The bugs have the potential to provide nutrition for livestock once they die, and some say their dead bodies could also be used to cure stomach ailments and create beauty products. adapted with permission from Earthweek.com
