In the news Inspectors fault practices at Alaska Psychiatric Institute ANCHORAGE (AP) — Federal investigators found more than 80 substantial deficiencies at the Alaska Psychiatric Institute from July to December, the worst record in the nation during the seven-month period, a newspaper says. The Anchorage Daily News reports each deficiency chronicled by investigators from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services was deemed an “immediate jeopardy” to patient safety. Federal inspectors visited API last summer and put the institution under a plan of correction after documenting what it called failed practices. Continued non-compliance brought inspectors back late in 2018 and on Monday. Findings from 2018 included incidents such as an adult with an intellectual disability and “intermittent explosive disorder” being strapped onto a restraint table and briefly left alone, crying, in a dark room. One patient drank hand sanitizer at least five times while being given “alone time” in an exercise room, leading to a hospitalization for vomiting. The newspaper said a staff member was recorded kneeling on the chest of a patient being strapped into restraints and grabbing another by the neck and head, putting the person at risk of injury. A plan to correct problems is underway, said Albert Wall, deputy commissioner of the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. “I’m already seeing a turnaround,” he said. The department will soon announce good news about API, he said. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services acts as a federal oversight agency. The agency in extreme cases can take away a hospital’s ability to receive money from Medicare and Medicaid. “That’s a big stick,” said Rosemary Gibson, an expert on health care See API page A7

A crew member of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Hickory died in an industrial accident on the Homer Spit on Thursday. The man was fatally injured when a crane rolled over and hit him. Chief Warrant Officer Michael Kozloski of Mahopac, New York was 35 years old. Homer Volunteer Fire Department emergency medical technicians responded to the crane accident on Thursday afternoon in the buoy yard for the Hickory. A large crane tipped over near the Pioneer Dock.

Last month, Gov. Michael Dunleavy appointed a former Fairbanks city councilwoman, Vivian Stiver, and Lt. Christopher Jaime, the Deputy Commander for the Alaska Wildlife Trooper Soldotna Detachment, to the state Marijuana Control Board. The Kenai Community Coalition on Cannabis met last Monday to discuss the new appointees. Dollynda Phelps, coowner of Nikiski-based Peace Frog Botanicals, a limited marijuana cultivation company, helped organize the coalition meeting, which was attended by 35
to 40 people, she said. The coalition has concerns with Stiver, Phelps said. She said there were no concerns about the appointment of Jamie. “There were lots of discussions,” Phelps said. “We’re terrified of the implications long term. We will never have a ‘yes’ vote if prohibitionists are allowed in.” Stiver said the term prohibitionist is the wrong way to describe her. “Prohibitionist is a term used to instill fear,” Stiver said. “It’s absolutely untrue. Alaska made the decision to make marijuana legal. It’s a done deal.” See BOARD, page A2

A resolution to name an unnamed lake in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve will be introduced at next Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting. Anchorage resident Ryan Richards is a pilot who flies near the unnamed lake, which is approximately 10 miles southwest of Mt. Redoubt and 25 miles north of Mt. Illiamna. Richards hopes to name the alpine lake Jade Lake. “The lake resembles the official jade gemstone of the state of Alaska on a clear calm day,” according to Richards. “It is the epitome of wild, scenic and rugged Alaska.” There are more than 3 million lakes in Alaska, with just over 3,000 of them having official names.
PCHS to offer workshops on Narcan, opioid overdoses By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
As part of an ongoing effort to combat the nationwide epidemic of opioid overdoses, Peninsula Community Health Services has begun offering public informational sessions where people can receive instruction in identifying an opioid overdose, as well as the tools available to potentially save a life. The informational sessions will revolve around Narcan, a medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, and PCHS will give partici-
an opioid is in someone’s system, it attaches itself to receptors in the brain that control, among other things, motor functions and breathing. Narcan works by pushing the opioids off the receptors and replacing them so the opioids can not reattach.

He also said that there is a lot of new information regarding these topics available to health professionals, but much of the information that the public has access to is outdated or inaccurate. According to Koski, opioid overdoses were the number one cause of accidental death in Alaska in 2016, surpassing even car accidents. People tend to think

Alaska’s tobacco report card improves BY BEN HOHENSTATT Juneau Empire
Alaska has made strides to keep tobacco out of adolescent hands, but there’s still room for improvement, according to a new report from the American Lung Association. The 17th annual State of Tobacco Control report grades, which are
given out like schoolhouse grades, were shared Wednesday, and Alaska’s report card was generally positive. There was one exception — the minimum age for purchasing tobacco. For that category, Alaska earned a D. In Alaska, the tobaccobuying age is 19, while the American Lung Asso-
ciation recommends 21 as a way to curb smoking in young adults. “That’s really the newest tool in the toolbox,” said Marge Stoneking, Executive director for American Lung Association in Alaska, in a phone interview. Stoneking said 95 percent of smokers try their first cigarette before 21,
which is a major reason the lung association advocates for an age increase. Alaska is not alone in its younger-than-recommended tobacco age. Nationally, just six states — Hawaii, California, New Jersey, Oregon, Maine and Massachusetts — have a tobacco-buying age of 21. In Alaska, one locality — Sitka —has
adopted 21 as the minimum age for purchasing tobacco. It was adopted and approved by the Sitka Assembly in May and went into effect in August, said Maegan Bosack, community affairs director for City and Borough of Sitka. Stoneking said one of See CARD, page A7

Set against a shaky global Firm sues picture, US economy looks sturdy over product it
says is hemp
By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON— The U.S. economy, well into its 10th year of growth, still has a spring in its step. And it’s all the more visible when set against a tiring global picture. A robust January jobs report on Friday showed that America’s companies are, for now, brushing off an array of economic perils and still hiring at a brisk pace. The risks that for months had induced hand-wringing among economists about a possible looming recession appear to have had little effect on employers. Overseas growth is stumbling, led by weakness in China, the world’s secondlargest economy. Europe is hamstrung by a recession in Italy and the potential for an unruly Brexit. A trade war between the U.S. and China and higher U.S. mortgage rates, partly engineered by the Federal Reserve, remain threats. No matter. Employers added 304,000 jobs in January — the healthiest burst of hiring in nearly a year. The unemployment rate ticked up a notch to a still-low 4 percent. But that was mostly because thousands of furloughed federal workers were considered temporarily unemployed because of the partial government shutdown. That quirk should reverse itself this month. The solid jobs report and a separate survey that showed Friday that U.S. factory growth picked up last month “stood in stark
edge over most of its major rivals. Ethan Harris, global economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said the Trump administration’s tax cuts in late 2017 and a sharp increase in government spending last spring helped fuel growth. “No other major economy in the world did what we did,” Harris said. “The stimulus did a very good job of covering up all the blemishes of the economy, including the risks of the trade war.” Vigorous U.S. hiring in the past few months partly represents a “lagged effect” from faster growth over the spring and summer, Harris said. Businesses that weren’t able to quickly find and hire all the workers they wanted then have kept adding jobs in subsequent months.

Koski said that lawsuits like this one are important for seeking justice and can potentially give states the extra funds they need to put towards treatment. However, he sees the fight on the ground — treating addiction and preventing overdoses day to day — as more important in the moment. “It’s a little like closing the barn door after the horses get out,” said Koski. “The problem is here. So what do we do now that it exists?” To that end, Koski said that distributing Narcan kits
to the community and educating people on how to use them has been essential in preventing overdose deaths. It is important to note that Narcan is not a permanent solution and its effects only last about 30 minutes, after which the person will potentially lapse back into the overdose. This 30-minute window is when 911 should be called so that the person can get to the emergency room and receive further treatment. In addition to distributing Narcan kits after each informational session, the Division
of Public Health makes them available for free at Kenai Public Health and PCHS in Soldotna. PCHS will be offering these informational sessions on the last Thursday of every month. Aside from how to administer Narcan, the informational sessions also cover the difference between dependence and addiction, the factors that make certain people more prone to addiction than others, the effects of opioids on the brain and body and how to identify signs of an opioid overdose.
The Marijuana Control Board has five stakeholders, including a member of law enforcement, health care, rural Alaska, industry and the general public. So far, the only stakeholder group not to have representation on the board has been a member from the general public. Shuckerow said the governor has chosen to fill the open seat with a member of the public, Stiver, as a way to give all stakeholders an opportunity to take part in these critical discussions. “The governor and his administration have been clear that they are not looking to pick winners and losers,” Shuckerow said. “They recognize that legal marijua-
na is the law of the land, and will do their part to enforce the law, but also want to give concerned Alaskans — as the law intended — a voice in the decision-making process.” Patricia Patterson, owner of High Bush Buds and Lucky Raven Tobacco, said she was disappointed in the governor’s choice in Stiver, saying that Stiver doesn’t represent the average voter. “It’s absolutely 100 percent devastating to our industry,” Patterson said. “Dunleavy lost my support and my vote. It’s crippling. He didn’t give Alaskans an opportunity to volunteer for the position.” Both Patterson and Phelps
expressed concern in losing an industry representative to the board. “Losing an industry rep on board is very, very bad,” Patterson said. “Having insight from someone with a license — that knowledge is imperative to make good decisions.” Stiver said she is excited to be an active member of the board. “My goals are to create processes that are fair and to create more education for the public so they can have confidence in the industry,” Stiver said. She begins her three-year appointment on the Marijuana Control Board on Feb. 28.

contrast with evidence of slower economic momentum in China and Europe,” said Lydia Boussour, senior U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. So why is the United States doing so well? And will the sluggish global economy eventually depress U.S. exports and economic growth? Trends that had looked alarming a month or two ago now appear benign, perhaps even supportive of growth. The stock market, having plunged 16 percent late last year, rose 8 percent in January, its best monthly performance since 2015. Americans who are invested in stocks typically cut spending when market indexes fall steadily. That is now less likely to happen.

And suddenly the Fed under Chairman Jerome Powell looks like an economic ally. The central bank had raised its benchmark short-term interest rate four times last year — action that helped make mortgages and other consumer and business loans costlier. And in December, the Fed’s policymakers said they envisioned raising rates twice more this year. But this week, the Fed held its benchmark rate steady and sent its strongest signal to date that it saw no need to raise rates in the coming months — perhaps even for the rest of the year. Its message ignited a rally on Wall Street, which cheered the prospect of continued modest borrowing rates for the near future. Other factors have helped give the U.S. economy an
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A company has filed a lawsuit against Idaho State Police and Ada County after authorities seized nearly 7,000 pounds of cannabis from a truck headed to Colorado, the Idaho Statesman reported. Authorities who stopped the truck said it was filled with marijuana, but Big Sky Scientific LLC, which was shipping the product to Colorado, said in the lawsuit that it's industrial hemp, which is now legal under the recently passed U.S. Farm Bill. Hemp is a non-psychoactive cousin of marijuana. Both hemp and marijuana are cannabis plants. Big Sky wants its product returned and wants an admission of wrongdoing from the Idaho authorities, according to the Idaho Statesman. The truck's driver, Dennis Palamarchuk, 36, of Portland, Oregon, was arrested and charged with a felony. The truck was stopped on Jan. 24 as part of a routine, random commercial vehicle safety inspection between Boise and Mountain Home, ISP spokesman Tim Marsano said. The driver's bill of lading — a document that details the cargo in the shipment — said the trailer was carrying 31 bags of hemp. Hemp and marijuana plants look and smell similar, but hemp plants

Defending his appointment, Matt Shuckerow, spokesperson for the governor, said the governor believes Stiver’s appointment will offer a new perspective to the board. “It’s no secret Ms. Stiver holds a certain skepticism for legal marijuana use — a viewpoint held by many other Alaskans,” Shuckerow said. “The governor believes her appointment will help bring a valuable perspective to the board, particularly as they examine critical issues and regulations.” Stiver would be replacing board chairman, Brandon Emmett, who was removed from the board earlier in January. Phelps said she believes a recent vote to approve rules for onsite consumption was a trigger point for the board’s recent reorganization. Shuckerow said Emmett’s board position expires at the end of February. Jamie will be taking over a seat most recently held by Sitka Police Chief Jeff Ankerfelt, who was appointed mid-term by Gov. Bill Walker and never confirmed by the legislature. “For various reasons, though not based on previous policy positions, Governor Dunleavy chose not to forward the previous administration’s appointment to the board.”
typically contain less than 0.3 percent of THC — the psychoactive chemical in marijuana — while marijuana plants generally contain anywhere from 15 to 40 percent THC. The plants also have different uses: Hemp can be used to produce a variety of products including food, industrial oil, paper, flour and clothing. Marijuana plants are often grown for their THC content, and are legal in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, California and several other states but are illegal in Idaho. The trooper detected a strong odor of marijuana during the inspection and opened one of the bags and performed a field test, Marsano said. The test showed the plant to be a marijuana plant, and a subsequent team of K9 drug-detection dogs that arrived also indicated that marijuana was present, he said. Marsano could not say how low of a THC content will generate a positive result by the field tests or whether the dogs were trained to differentiate between marijuana and hemp. Still, he said transporting anything containing THC is a chargeable offense in Idaho. Testing on the plant matter is being expedited, Marsano told the newspaper Friday.

What Others Say
Time to give peace a chance in Aghanistan If the war in Afghanistan has
been anything, it has been a disappointment. After 17 years of fighting that has seen thousands of deaths and nearly a trillion dollars in expenses, Americans are sick and tired of the interminable conflict. Fortunately, serious and substantive negotiations are finally closer than ever to bringing the endless war to an end. Though uncomfortable and not without risk, the new framework to cease hostilities deserves the support of both major political parties and the American people. Many voters will be irritated by the central feature of the agreement: for the first time, the Taliban has been formally included in negotiations, and their interests will be represented in any final agreement. Doubtless, leaving the Taliban in Afghanistan would be a sharp rebuke of the democracy-spreading agenda that dominated the past 20 years. On the other hand, the United States has simply failed to move enough Afghans away from the Taliban, whether by force, money or cultural influence. And the Taliban is now prepared to honor a negotiated settlement that strikes an uneasy but real compromise. Specifically, both sides have now agreed in principle to ensure that terrorist organizations do not operate out of Afghanistan after the U.S. leaves the country. That, lest we forget, was the main — some would say only — strategic objective justifying the original invasion of Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11. Critics will caution that peace agreements are made to be violated in the minds of fanatics and ideologues, among which the Taliban must be counted. This is an obvious concern. But using the fear to justify open-ended conflict with unattainable goals is foolish and fruitless. The truth is there is important evidence that this kind of agreement can hold. Each country with a stake in Afghanistan wants peace, starting with Afghanistan itself. Significantly, this includes China. The Chinese are very worried about the spread of militant Islam — so much so that they have accepted real reputational damage in the West opening up massive re-education camps and filling then with their millions-strong Muslim Uighur population. At the same time, Beijing is worried about threats to the safety and stability of its massive international Belt and Road economic plan. Reports now show that China wishes to take as proactive a role as it can in taking Afghan disorder off the global chessboard. It wishes to see peace succeed, the better to stabilize the core area where its economic strategy will live or die. And while the U.S. and China are often at odds, neither Washington nor Beijing wants the relationship to spiral into outright hostility and open conflict. Afghanistan offers an important way to establish limited but valuable commonality of interest between the two great powers without the U.S. sacrificing any core objectives. Unfortunately, in Washington, some members of both parties have a selfish interest in portraying peace in Afghanistan as irresponsible or isolationist. Neither of these claims could be further from the truth. No serious official who supports the peace policy believes the U.S. can or should cut itself off from the world and flourish. None takes a naive view toward the continued threats posed by terrorist groups and their state sponsors. Peace in Afghanistan is long overdue. Americans will be grateful when it comes, and reward those in Washington who make it happen. — Orange County Register (Santa Ana, California), Jan. 30
Announcing nothing ...
I know that the suspense has been unbearable, but I’m finally ready to make my announcement: I am not running for president. I realize that by doing so, I have aligned myself with 328,113,170 or so other Americans who also have decided not to run for president. We have much in common, including our shared contempt for nearly all of those, on all sides, who practice the dark arts of politics, most of whom are running for president. In case you were wondering why I found it necessary to announce that I’m forgoing an election campaign, it’s because of Eric Garcetti. Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti held a news conference to declare he also would not be a candidate. Was it necessary to publicly proclaim that? Perhaps it’s because every other Democratic politician, in office or not, is “considering” a run. You know, they’re at least “mulling it over with family members,” to say nothing of the several who have already taken the dive. When it comes time to stage Democrat primary debates, the news network unit managers will have to scout the nation’s stadiums for venues to hold all the players. And then there’s Howard Schultz, the self-declared “independent” candidate. Actually Schultz says he is only contemplating a run. He’s already had his glory moment on “60 Minutes.” Not bad for a guy who hasn’t even got beyond the ponder patter, which is meant to leave us in breathless anticipation, I suppose. Now I, too, am independent. I’m registered as
a voter that way for journalistic reasons. Besides, I really hate most everybody I cover. But I am not a “independent maybe-candidate,” which translates to “massively Bob Franken rich guy on the ultimate ego trip.” Schultz accumulated his billions of dollars as the CEO of Starbucks, but I promise you, no coffee jokes. Perhaps because he’s bored and worried about being a has-bean (well, just one) and taking inspiration from Donald Trump — who also had more money than experience — Schultz has decided he could spare a little loose change to finance a presidential campaign. Hey, it worked for Trump, didn’t it (with a little help from his Russian friends)? Already, Schultz has made noise by trashing those on the left for their “ridiculous” platforms that would increase taxes for the wealthy. Did I mention that Schultz is a billionaire? Democrats are going bonkers. How could Howard Schultz, who is fashioning himself as a centrist, put himself in a position where he siphons enough votes from the Dems to throw the election to Donald Trump? It’s happened before. Ross Perot helped do in Bush the First. Ralph Nader helped out Bush the Second. This time, Schultz could sabotage chances of toppling the Trumpster.
Trump’s perceived vulnerability, after all, is why so many Democrats are taking the plunge. It’s becoming so commonplace that the D’s really need to come up with attention-grabbing ways of making their announcement. Not that they’ve asked, but I have a great idea: Why not stand off to the side at some public event holding up a yellow legal pad on which the words “I’m Running for President” will be scrawled in black marker? Right now, you’re asking yourself, “What in heaven’s name is he talking about?” What I’m talking about is John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser, who just happened to allow cameras to shoot his notebook with the words “5,000 troops to Colombia” there for all to see. Could it be that the Trump administration is involved in a bluffing game with the Venezuelan government? If you think that the display of that Bolton scribble was an accident, I have some land in Caracas to sell you. Whether this is a showdown for real, or a way for President Trump to distract from his humiliating government shutdown and/or the Mueller investigation that’s closing in, you be the judge. Scores of Democratic politicians see an opportunity here in a nation looking for a Trump alternative. It’s not only Democrats, but those who believe making a fortunes in business translates to success at the highest levels of government, which means we have learned absolutely nothing from the Trump presidency.
Fact and fiction on Medicaid expansion Health care is complex and hard, because it is both deeply personal and very expensive. As a society, we unite behind the belief that we must take care of people. We’ve already crossed that bridge, because anyone can go to the hospital emergency department regardless of their ability to pay. We are also obligated to take care of them in a way that is fiscally sustainable for our state and nation. As a country, we must do better at both of these things. This requires big thinking, real analysis, painful compromise, and a glidepath that assures a better future without crashing our existing health care system and hurting people. It does not involve rolling back Medicaid expansion, an action that would risk the future of our health care system, hurt Alaska’s economy, and harm the lives and health of almost 47,000 people. Those who advocate repealing Medicaid expansion rely on myths that aren’t supported by facts. If we are serious about reforming the health care system, strengthening the economy, treating addiction, reducing crime, and maintaining our hospitals and health care providers, state leaders would be well served by relying on data and understanding why these myths are just that- myths. Myth #1: Medicaid expansion blew up the budget. Fact: Medicaid expansion is a tiny fraction of the total state Medicaid budget and actually saves the state money. Under federal law, the state will never pay more than 10 percent of the program’s cost. For Alaska, that percentage is closer to 6.5 percent because the federal government pays the full cost of Indian Health Service beneficiaries. In fiscal year 2018, the total cost of expansion was around $418 million, but the state general fund cost was only $14 million, or 3.3 percent. However, the state avoided $15.8 million in other costs be-
A laska V oices B ecky H ultberg cause of expansion, saving the state $1.8 million. Myth #2: Medicaid expansion enrollees are all able-bodied adults who should just get jobs. Fact: According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, nearly eight in ten non-disabled, non-elderly adults on Medicaid live in working families, and a majority are working themselves. Many Medicaid expansion enrollees are working at low-wage jobs for employers that don’t offer health insurance. They are moving to self-sufficiency. Others may be out of the workforce temporarily for an illness or injury (like a cancer diagnosis) but will return to the workforce once treatment is complete. Myth #3: Alaska offers a “Cadillac” Medicaid plan, and should offer the “Chevy” version instead. Fact: Medicaid offers mandatory and optional services. Many optional services, like pharmacy, aren’t truly optional if the goal is to keep people healthy. More than two thirds of U.S. states offer the optional services in Alaska’s Medicaid program. We recognize that Alaska faces hard choices about utilization, services and reimbursement, but it is important to recognize that the current Medicaid plan is mainstream. Myth #4: Medicaid is a drag on Alaska’s economy. Fact: Medicaid expansion has provided a huge economic boost during a recession, injecting over $1 billion federal dollars into the economy at a time when health care was one of the few industries growing. Eliminating Medicaid
expansion will harm an economy struggling to pull out of recession. Myth #5. Hospitals are making a lot of money off of Medicaid expansion. Fact: Hospitals get paid what it costs to provide services to Medicaid enrollees, but no more. Our most vulnerable hospitals – those in smaller communities – have low or negative margins, which means that eliminating expansion could jeopardize hospitals in communities with limited health resources and support systems. Myth #6. This doesn’t affect me. Rolling back expansion adds to the cost of health care for everyone. Newly uninsured patients will seek care through the emergency department and hospitals will have to absorb those costs. In fiscal year 2017, Medicaid expansion reduced hospital uncompensated care by $173 million. Eliminating expansion means that costs increase dramatically for hospitals, which means higher health care costs and insurance premiums for everyone. Discussions about how to provide health care and a sustainable budget are important and necessary. But they must be informed with facts, they must be transparent, and they must provide a vision for a better future. Repealing Medicaid expansion meets none of those tests, and it will harm peoples’ lives and slow down Alaska’s economic recovery. We urge the governor and legislature to retain Medicaid expansion. It is in all Alaskans’ economic interest to do so. Becky Hultberg is the president and CEO of Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association (ASHNHA). ASHNHA represents more than 65 hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare organizations who employ over 10,000 Alaskans. (Central Peninsula Hospital is an ASHNHA member).

Human toll of cold: more than 2 dozen dead, hundreds hurt By STEVE KARNOWSKI and TAMMY WEBBER Associated Press
CHICAGO — The dangerous cold and heavy snow that hobbled the northern U.S. this week has retreated, but not before exacting a human toll: more than two dozen weather-related deaths in eight states and hundreds of injuries, including frostbite, broken bones, heart attacks and carbon monoxide poisoning. In Illinois alone, hospitals reported more than 220 cases of frostbite and hypothermia since Tuesday, when the polar vortex moved in and overnight temperatures plunged to minus 30 or lower — with wind chills of minus 50 or worse in some areas. Hennepin Healthcare in Minneapolis normally sees around 30 frostbite patients in an entire winter. It admitted 18 in the past week, spokeswoman Christine Hill said Friday. “I definitely saw more frostbite than I’ve ever seen in my entire career just in the last three days,” said Dr. Andrea Rowland-Fischer, an emergency department physician at Hennepin Healthcare. Most of those patients, she said, had underlying problems that made it difficult for them to take care of themselves: the developmentally delayed, the mentally ill, the very young and the very old. They also included people with injuries related to drugs and alcohol — people who passed out or did not realize they were cold or injured. “It’s heartbreaking when there are people who can’t take care of themselves and get exposed, just because they either escape from the care

that they’re being given or because they’re not being supervised.” Others got frostbite on their way to work after being exposed to the cold for a short time, often on their hands, feet, ears and face. That included people whose cars would not start or who got stuck outside for other reasons, as well as those who just did not think they could get frostbitten so quickly and went outside without gloves or other protective gear. Several required “maximal treatment,” admission to the hospital’s burn unit for therapies that include drugs to restore circulation to try to avoid amputations. Some of them will probably still require amputations, a decision usually made by burn doctors four to 10 days after the injury. Many people decided to stay home even when they were sick to avoid slippery roads and subzero tempera-
tures. In western Michigan, a health care system’s online service saw a major spike this week. More than 400 people over four days used Spectrum Health’s MedNow to see a nurse practitioner or a physician’s assistant about non-emergency issues, such as aches, rashes, cold and flu, said Joe Brennan, MedNow senior director. Most used an app on their phone. The usual four-day volume is 250. “We had soreness-andsickness calls from people who were shoveling 2 ½ feet of snow,” Brennan said. “Instead of going to urgent care or an emergency department, they had an option to stay at home.” Another danger was from carbon monoxide. A family of nine in Wheeling, Illinois, about 30 miles northwest of Chicago, was taken to local hospitals after heating their home with a charcoal grill. In Rockford, Illinois, four
people were treated because they had warmed up cars in a closed garage or because a furnace vent became blocked by ice and snow. The snow that accompanied the cold also caused problems. In Raymond, New Hampshire, the driver of a state Department of Transportation vehicle was struck in the head Thursday after ice and snow flew off a truck ahead and broke through the windshield. The driver was hospitalized with a laceration to the head and other possible injuries. In just a two-day period, Tuesday and Wednesday, Mercyhealth in Rockford treated 15 people for broken bones from falling on the ice, 10 people who were in car crashes caused by snow and eight people who complained of chest pain or shortness of breath from shoveling snow, hospital officials said.
Nation’s parks clean up post-shutdown By BRADY McCOMBS and FELICIA FONSECA Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — National park visitors cut new trails in sensitive soil. They pried open gates while no one was watching. They found bathrooms locked, so they went outside. One offroader even mowed down an iconic twisted-limbed Joshua tree in California. During the 35-day government shutdown, some visitors at parks and other protected areas nationwide left behind messes that National Park Service officials are scrambling to clean up as they brace for the possibility of another closure ahead of the busy Presidents Day weekend this month. Conservationists warn that damage to sensitive lands could take decades to recover. National parks already faced an estimated $12 billion maintenance backlog that now has grown. Many parks went unstaffed during the shutdown, while others had skeleton crews with local governments and nonprofits contributing money and volunteers. National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst in Washington, D.C., declined to provide a full accounting of the damage at more than 400 locations, saying it was isolated and most visitors took good care of the land. But interviews with park officials and nonprofits that help keep parks running reveal a toll from people and winter storms when workers could not make fixes quickly. President Donald Trump has said another shutdown could start Feb. 15 if he and Democratic leaders can’t agree on funding for a U.S.Mexico border wall, compounding pressure on the park service to catch up on repairs. Hiring seasonal workers who typically start in the

spring as rangers, fee collectors and hiking guides also has been delayed. “We’re kind of ready to just have a bit more stability,” said Angie Richman, a spokeswoman at Arches National Park in Utah. A colony of elephant seals took over a Northern California beach in Point Reyes National Seashore without workers to discourage the animals from congregating in the popular tourist area. Spokesman John Dell’Osso said rangers and volunteers will lead visitors on walks to see roughly 50 adult seals and 43 pups. The Grand Canyon postponed a highly competitive lottery that provides permits for self-guided rafting trips on the Colorado River in 2020 because staff has to catch up on other work. Matt Baldwin with the river permits office said the lottery is rescheduled for Feb. 16, which could change with another shutdown. That also could lead the park to miss out on its centennial celebration Feb. 26. At Southern California’s Joshua Tree National Park, Superintendent David Smith said officials still were assessing damage Friday but at
least one signature tree died when an off-road vehicle ran it over during the shutdown. It’s not the same toppled tree from a picture distributed by the park service early in the shutdown that was used widely to illustrate the perils of understaffed or closed parks. Park spokesman Jeremy Barnum said rangers who discovered the tree initially thought vandals destroyed it during the shutdown but that botanists later determined it fell earlier. He said the park “apologizes for any confusion this initial report may have caused.” Smith said several other Joshua trees that can live hundreds of years were damaged, including one that was spray-painted, but the park has yet to determine the exact number and when it happened. Someone also cut down a juniper tree and offroad vehicles dug extensive wheel marks into the delicate desert soil, Smith said. Workers at Death Valley National Park in California cleaned up 1,655 clumps of toilet paper and 429 piles of human waste as the shutdown hit during one of the busiest times of year, a park
statement said Friday. Superintendent Mike Reynolds also said that “people tried to do the right thing by leaving trash next to full dumpsters, but wind and animals dispersed it. The park’s resources, visitors and wildlife all paid the price.” Workers have to rake and replant vegetation to repair ruts from off-road vehicles, delaying other work in the 3.4 million-acre park. Staffers spent a combined 1,500 hours this week documenting the damage, cleaning and making repairs, Reynolds said, calling the overall effects “disturbing.” “It became pretty depressing the kinds of things people will do when they are unsupervised,” said David Blacker, executive director of the Death Valley Natural History Association. Visitors at Arches in Utah left waste outside a restroom, stomped out five trails in a permit-only area that was shut down and damaged an entrance gate to allow vehicles to drive on snowcovered roads when the park was closed after a storm, Richman said.
TSA officer jumps to his death at Orlando airport By MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — An officer from the Transportation Security Administration jumped to his death from a balcony inside Florida’s busiest airport Saturday, creating panic that brought some security checkpoints to a halt for hours, grounded flights and caused serious delays. Panicked passengers rushed past checkpoints leading to about half of the gates at Orlando International Airport after the man jumped, resulting in checkpoint closures for up to three hours and some flight cancelations. “At no point were passengers in any danger,” airport officials said in a statement. Those affected by the stoppage included Alaska, Air Canada, Delta and Southwest airlines. By Saturday afternoon,
Southwest Airlines had cancelled 49 inbound flights and 45 outbound flights, according to the airport. “This is a peak travel time on Saturdays and two of our busiest airlines were affected, Southwest and Delta, so a couple of thousand passengers may have been affected,” Carolyn Fennell, the airport’s senior director of public affairs, said in an email. The TSA officer, in his 40s, died from an apparent suicide, according to the Orlando Police Department, which described it as an isolated incident. “Our hearts are with the TSA family during this very difficult time,” the department tweeted. The man jumped from a hotel balcony inside the airport into the atrium where passengers wait to get through security. The officer was pronounced dead after being taken to a hospital, according to the police.
Around the Nation Groundhog predicts early spring PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. — It may be hard to believe as a large swath of the U.S. thaws out from a bitter polar vortex, but spring is coming early, according to handlers for some of the country’s most famous prognosticating groundhogs. Just before 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow in Pennsylvania at sunrise and didn’t see his shadow. Nearly the same series of events unfolded about 300 miles to the east, where Staten Island Chuck’s handlers also revealed the same prediction. The festivities have their origin in a German legend that says if a furry rodent casts a shadow on Feb. 2, winter continues. If not, spring comes early. In reality, Phil’s prediction is decided ahead of time by the group on Gobbler’s Knob, a tiny hill just outside Punxsutawney. That’s about 65 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. — Associated Press

In 1943, during World War II, the U.S. transport ship SS Dorchester, which was carrying troops to Greenland, sank after being hit by a German torpedo in the Labrador Sea; of the more than 900 men aboard, only some 230 survived. (Four Army chaplains on board gave away their life jackets to save others and went down with the ship.) In 1959, an American Airlines Lockheed Electra crashed into New York’s East River, killing 65 of the 73 people on board. In 1966, the Soviet probe Luna 9 became the first manmade object to make a soft landing on the moon. In 1988, the U.S. House of Representatives handed President Ronald Reagan a major defeat, rejecting his request for $36.2 million in new aid to the Nicaraguan Contras by a vote of 219-211. In 1994, the space shuttle Discovery lifted off, carrying Sergei Krikalev (SUR’-gay KREE’-kuh-lev), the first Russian cosmonaut to fly aboard a U.S. spacecraft. In 1995, Discovery blasted off with a woman, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Eileen Collins, in the pilot’s seat for the first time in NASA history. In 1998, Texas executed Karla Faye Tucker, 38, for the pickax killings of two people in 1983; she was the first woman executed in the United States since 1984. A U.S. Marine plane sliced through the cable of a ski gondola in Italy, causing the car to plunge hundreds of feet, killing all 20 people inside. Ten years ago: Eric Holder became the first black U.S. attorney general as he was sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden. The White House announced that Tom Daschle had asked to be removed from consideration as health and human services secretary after acknowledging he’d failed to pay all his taxes. Five years ago: U.S. stocks tumbled, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average down more than 320 points after reports of sluggish U.S growth added to investor worries about the global economy. Former Vice President Walter Mondale’s wife, Joan, died in St. Paul, Minnesota, at age 83. One year ago: The fantasy romance “The Shape of Water” added another key prize in the awards season, as Guillermo del Toro took top honors at the Directors Guild Awards. Linebacker Ray Lewis and receiver Terrell Owens were among eight people voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The New York Times reported an accusation from actress Uma Thurman that disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein had forced himself on her sexually years ago in a London hotel room; Weinstein acknowledged making an “awkward pass” but strongly denied any physical assault.

Russia to pull plug on nuclear arms pact after US does same By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press
MOSCOW — Following in the footsteps of the U.S., Russia will abandon a centerpiece nuclear arms treaty but will only deploy intermediate-range nuclear missiles if Washington does so, President Vladimir Putin said Saturday. President Donald Trump accused Moscow on Friday of violating the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty with “impunity” by deploying banned missiles. Trump said in a statement that the U.S. will “move forward” with developing its own military response options to Russia’s new land-based cruise missiles that could target Western Europe. Moscow has strongly denied any breaches and accused Washington of making false accusations in order to justify its pullout. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in explaining that Washington on Saturday formally suspended its treaty obligations, said in a statement that Russia’s “continued noncompliance has jeopardized the United States’ supreme interests.” He said the treaty will terminate in six months unless Moscow returns to “full and verifiable compliance.” The collapse of the INF Treaty has raised fears of a repeat of a Cold War showdown in the 1980s, when the U.S. and the Soviet Union both deployed intermediaterange missiles on the continent. Such weapons were seen as particularly destabilizing as they only take a few minutes to reach their targets, leaving no time for decision-makers and raising the likelihood of a global nuclear conflict over a false launch warning. After the U.S. gave notice of its intention to withdraw, Putin said Russia would do the same. He ordered the development of new landbased intermediate-range weapons, but emphasized that Russia won’t deploy

them in the European part of the country or elsewhere unless the U.S. does so. “We will respond quid pro quo,” Putin said. “Our American partners have announced they were suspending their participation in the treaty, and we will do the same. They have announced they will conduct research and development, and we will act accordingly.” The U.S. has accused Russia of developing and deploying a cruise missile that violates provisions of the pact that ban production, testing and deployment of land-based cruise and ballistic missiles with a range of 310 to 3,410 miles. Trump’s move also reflected his administration’s view that the pact was an obstacle to efforts needed to counter intermediate-range missiles deployed by China, which isn’t part of the treaty. NATO allies have strongly backed Washington and urged Moscow to save the treaty by returning to compliance. Russia has rejected the U.S. claims of violation, charging that the missile, which is part of the Iskander-M missile system, has a maximum range of 480 kilometers (298 miles). Russian officials claimed the U.S. assertions about the al-
leged breach of the pact by Moscow were intended to shift the blame for the pact’s demise to Russia. The Russian Defense Ministry on Saturday released a satellite image of what it described as new production facilities at the U.S. missile maker Raytheon’s plant in Tucson, Arizona, noting that their expansion began in 2017 as the Congress authorized spending for the development of intermediate-range missiles. “The character and the timing of the works provide an irrefutable proof that the U.S. administration had decided to pull out of the INF treaty years before making unfounded claims of Russian violations,” it said. Putin has argued it makes no sense for Russia to deploy a ground-based cruise missile violating the treaty because it has such weapons on ships and aircraft, which aren’t banned by the pact. Speaking Saturday in a televised meeting with his foreign and defense ministers, Putin instructed the military to work on developing new land-based weapons that were previously forbidden by the INF treaty. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Putin that they would in-
clude a land-based version of the Kalibr ship-based cruise missile and a new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile. Putin emphasized that such new weapons won’t be deployed unless the U.S. does so. “Russia will not station intermediate-range weapons in Europe or other regions until similar U.S. weapons appear in those regions,” he said. The Russian leader said Moscow remains open to talks with Washington, but added it would be up to the U.S. to take the first step. “Let’s wait until our partners are mature enough to conduct an equal and substantive dialogue on those issues,” he said. At the same time, Putin told his ministers that he would like to review the progress on building other prospective weapons that don’t fall under the INF treaty, including the intercontinental Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle and the Poseidon underwater nuclear-powered drone. He noted Shoigu’s report that a key stage in testing of the Poseidon was completed several days ago. The drone is designed to carry a heavy nuclear weapon that could cause a devastating tsunami wave.
Venezuela’s Guaido urges military defections amid protests By MANUEL RUEDA and FABIOLA SANCHEZ Associated Press
CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela’s opposition leader called on more members of the military to abandon the country’s socialist government following Saturday’s defection of a high-ranking general, while President Nicolas Maduro proposed holding early National Assembly elections that could potentially oust his challenger. Maduro’s call for early legislative voting is likely to intensify his standoff with rival Juan Guaido, who heads the oppositioncontrolled National Assembly and is demanding a new presidential election. Guaido declared himself Venezuela’s legitimate ruler on Jan. 23, and has the support of Washington and most South American nations. Speaking from behind a podium decorated with Venezuela’s presidential seal, Guaido told supporters he would keep his opposition movement in the streets until Maduro stopped “usurping” the presidency and agreed to a presidential election overseen by international observers. On Saturday, tens of thousands of Venezuelans joined opposition protests against Maduro in Caracas and other cities. Guaido called on “blocks” of the military to defect from Maduro’s administration and “get on the side of the Venezuelan people.” “We don’t just want you to stop shooting at protesters,” Guaido said in a hoarse voice. “We want you to be part of the reconstruction of Venezuela.” He said that in the coming days, the opposition would try to move humanitarian aid into the country by land and sea along three border points, including the Colombian city of Cucuta. He described the move as a “test” for Venezuela’s armed forces, which will have to choose if they allow the much needed aid to
pass, or if they instead obey the orders of Maduro’s government. Maduro also dug in his heels, insisting he was the only president of Venezuela and describing Saturday’s anti-government protests as part of a U.S.-led coup attempt. “I agree that the legislative power of the country be re-legitimized and that we hold free elections with guarantees, and the people choose a new National Assembly,” Maduro said at a pro-government demonstration in Caracas. The opposition controls the National Assembly while government supporters control the more-powerful Constituent Assembly, so calls for a vote to replace the former and not the latter was seen as a move against Guaido. The socialist leader also had words for the administration of President Donald Trump which recently imposed sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports in an effort to undermine Maduro’s main source of income and weaken his grip on power. “Do you think you are the emperor of the world?” he asked Trump. “Do you think Venezuela is going to give up and obey your orders? We will not surrender.” The standoff comes amid what appears to be growing dissension among the ranks of Venezuela’s powerful military. Earlier Saturday, a Venezuelan air force general defected from Maduro’s administration and called on his compatriots to participate in protests against the socialist leader’s rule. Gen. Francisco Yanez is the first high ranking officer to leave Maduro’s government since Jan. 23, when Guaido declared himself the country’s legitimate leader by invoking two articles of the Venezuelan constitution that he argues give him the right to assume presidential powers. He considers Maduro’s election win fraudulent.
Australia: Child refugees to leave Nauru camp
SHOW YOUR HEART SOME LOVE
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia announced on Sunday that the last child refugees held on the Pacific atoll of Nauru will soon be sent to the United States, ending the banishment of children under the government's harsh asylumseeker policy. The psychiatric and physical suffering of children has been the major criticism of the government's policy since 2013 to send asylum seekers who attempt to reach Australia by boat to an immigration camp on Nauru or men-only facilities on Papua New Guinea.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the last four asylumseeker children on Nauru would soon be resettled with their families in the United States under a deal struck in the final months of President Barack Obama's administration. "Every asylum seeker child has now been removed from Nauru or has had their claim processed and has a clear path off the island," Morrison said in a statement. The United States agreed in 2016 to accept up to 1,250 refugees. More than 1,000 others remain on the islands and face
uncertain futures. Law firm Maurice Blackburn said it would continue its legal fight until all asylum seekers were removed from the island camps. "This action has taken far too long and at times has been very hard fought - in the last year alone we have had to take court action repeatedly to help secure the medical evacuation of 26 critically ill people on Nauru with many of these children, including some as young as six months old," lawyer Jennifer Kanis said in a statement.

Designer from Juneau will show her work during New York Fashion Week BY BEN HOHENSTATT Juneau Empire
Shea Zahedi would not be preparing to show a collection at New York Fashion Week without Juneau. Zahedi, née Wilcox, grew up in Juneau and is the designer behind the Opal Heart fashion line. The sensibilities that are taking her to the Big Apple for one of the world’s biggest fashion events were forged in the capital city. “I’m really inspired by vintage sewing from the ’50s and ’60s,” Zahedi said from Orange County, California, in a phone interview. “I think a lot of that came from growing up in Juneau. Our families all had to sew a lot of their clothes and work with what was available to them. Just kind of inspired by the ethos of repairing your clothing and using high-quality methods to construct the garments.” Zahedi, who lived in Portland, Oregon, for about a decade after moving from Juneau and now resides in California, said she is thrilled to be showing clothing in New York City during Fashion Week, which runs Feb. 8-16. “I think it’s really exciting just to be in New York during Fashion Week,” Zahedi said. “Growing up in Juneau it seems so far away. The fashion world seems so far away and removed. To have the opportunity to show my work somewhere during fashion week is incredible.” She especially relishes the opportunity to show off work that incorporates Slow Fashion mentality on such a large stage. Slow Fashion is a clothing world movement that is the equivalent of farm-to-table restaurants in culinary circles, Zahedi

said. It places an emphasis on creating garments that are made to last and employ excess, secondhand or repurposed materials. Despite the name, some pieces can be completed in five hours. Others might take as many as 30 hours, Zahedi said. “Sharing the message of Slow Fashion is almost more important to me than selling my clothes,” Zahedi said. “I’m just glad they make people happy, just like anybody who paints.” The collection Zahedi is poised to show is her largest yet. It is unnamed and does not focus on a particular season — seasonless appeal is one of Opal Heart’s calling cards. Instead, the collection builds on the voice Zahedi has established for the Opal Heart line. She described that voice as bright, feminine and vintage-inspired. Opal Heart clothing has a Mid-Modern, yacht party vibe that could strike
a chord for fans of the costumes in the early seasons of “Mad Men.” “I’m an extremely optimistic person, and I think the clothes reflect that,” Zahedi said. “They’re fun and lighthearted.” The line generally eschews specific sizes and seasons to focus on garments with year-round appeal that can be fitted and customized for the customer. Inspiration for the latest collection also comes from the more distant past — The Gilded Age. “My collection was inspired by a valentine from the 1880s,” Zahedi said. “In the 1880s, women used to send valentines to each other. It was part of female friendship, so that’s what my collection is celebrating is kinship between women and just focusing on the positivity of that kind of stuff.” The valentine was discovered by Zahedi in an antique store, and its design
includes a pink umbrella, yellow flower and boardwalk scene. “Some of my looks actually feature the valentine, and I also have a lot of vintage accessories from the 1950s,” Zahedi said. The looks will include crocheted flowers by Juneau artist Sornja Pan. “It was really important for me to bring accessory designers from Juneau to represent my Juneau roots and help shine some light on the fabulous makers we have in Juneau,” Zahedi said. Even without the local contributions, Zahedi said Juneau would be reflected in her work. “I just really thank my experiences of growing up in Alaska and having to save things and repair what you have,” Zahedi said. “That craftiness, being able to use things for off-label purposes, or put things together to have a solution for something that really informed who I am as a designer.”
Gray-Jackson hoping Black History Bill passes By Kevin Baird Juneau Empire
Sen. Elvi Gray-Jackson did not learn about black history when she grew up. From her office in the Capitol, the freshman Democrat from Anchorage said she is constantly amazed as she continues to learn about the contributions of black Americans. Now Gray-Jackson has introduced Senate Bill 40 to solidify Black History Month in Alaska. “I think this is a wonderful way to make our diverse cultures know we really care,” Gray-Jackson said Friday. “I think it’s appropriate to put it in the state statutes of forever.” Gray-Jackson is hoping

Around Alaska Specialists destroy live mortar shell found at Anchorage museum ANCHORAGE — Military explosive specialists destroyed a World War II-era mortar round found at an Alaska museum after determining the munition was live. The device was destroyed by detonating it at a safe place, said Capt. Brandon Browning of the 716th Explosive Ordnance Disposal. A staff member found the Japanese mortar round last week while sorting through the collections vault at the Sheldon Museum and Cultural Center in Haines, the Anchorage Daily News reported Thursday. When staff members could not confirm if the shell had been disarmed, the museum temporarily closed. Explosives specialists from Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson in Anchorage later determined the device was still live, the newspaper said. The museum was considering using the shell in an upcoming exhibit featuring World War II battle art, but the item’s donation paperwork did not indicate if it had been deactivated, said Helen Alten, the museum’s director. The 80mm shell did not have a detonator on top. Museum officials concluded the shell likely was disabled, but because they could not be sure, they notified police, Alten said. The shell has been in the museum’s possession for more than 20 years, Alten said. It was donated by a longtime Haines resident who was a World War II veteran. Staff members worked out of a public library while the museum closed. The museum’s new exhibit was scheduled to open Friday.
Crab fisherman fined for fishing after season closed KODIAK — A Kodiak crab fisherman convicted of fishing during a closed season was handed a hefty penalty. Alaska State Troopers say 47-year-old Raleigh Eager was fined $25,000 and ordered to forfeit 156 Dungeness crab pots. Alaska Wildlife Troopers on Nov. 2, 2017, pulled and inspected 156 commercial crab pots belonging to the fishing vessel Silver Fox and operated by Eager. The Dungeness season had ended two days earlier. The pots were baited and in fishing configuration. Troopers seized the crab pots and transported them to Kodiak. Eager on Jan. 15 pleaded guilty to five counts of commercial Dungeness crab fishing during a closed season.
Police investigate Anchorage apartment death as homicide ANCHORAGE — Anchorage police say they are investigating a man’s suspicious death inside an apartment as a homicide. Police said Friday the state medical examiner’s office has determined that the death of 36-year-old Steven John was a homicide as a result of trauma. Police took a report early Tuesday morning of a body in an apartment complex on west 34th Avenue. According to the report, the body had been there several days. Police said at the time that they detained multiple people for questioning.
this bill can be passed before Black History Month is over. “The month of February each year is established as Black History Month,” the bill reads. “Black History Month may be observed by schools, community groups, and other public and private agencies and individuals with appropriate activities to honor and recognize the contributions that AfricanAmericans have made in the history of this state and the United States.” Gray-Jackson had prepared a short speech about Black History Month for the Senate floor session Friday morning, and she was surprised when 14 of 20 senators requested to become cosponsors of SB 40.
“Alaska continues to face monumental challenges,” Gray-Jackson said in her speech. “There are many important issues this legislature is set to work through this session, but we can’t forget issues that recognize our diverse communities.” Gray-Jackson mentioned how she was learning about some of the inventions introduced by African-Americans including the following: Sarah Boone invented the ironing board, Dr. George Grant invented the golf tee, George Crum invented potato chips and Otis Boykin invented the pacemaker. Gray-Jackson’s speech became impassioned and tearful as she spoke of Alaska’s first African-American
woman to serve in the Senate: Sen. Bettye Davis. “She devoted her whole life to helping the poor and the disenfranchised,” GrayJackson said. “She was a staunch public health advocate while also doing everything in her power to build a strong public education system where everyone, no matter your background, would have opportunities to succeed. “The first time I ran for office was in 2007. I immediately knew that she was one of the first people I wanted to get advice from. Not only because she looked like me, but because of her prior and current service in the political arena. She inspired and encouraged me.”
ing extreme mental health treatment issues and API’s diminished capacity is putting limits on addressing problems. Some of API’s units have been closed because they could not safely be operated with low staffing. Anchorage police last fall began dropping off civilly committed people in psychiatric crisis at the jail because all hospitals were full.
“They would have to be pretty desperate to shut down the state’s only psychiatric hospital,” said Dave Fleurant, executive director of the Disability Law Center of Alaska. Kristi Brooks, a former protective services officer at API who left in early December, said the federal inspectors’ findings do not paint a complete picture of API.
“The staff was set up to fail,” she said. Employees often were confused about what was unacceptable when dealing with violent patients, Brooks said. “It felt like everyone’s hands kept getting slapped but no one was told when they did wrong,” she said. “We would be told there were CMS investigations, that we were cited. But no
one would come out and say what those were and what needed to be changed.” Workers at API find themselves in an impossible situation, said Doug Carson, a business agent with the Alaska State Employees Association, which represents API’s unionized employees. “It creates a situation where workers don’t feel like they can do anything to protect themselves,” Carson
said. Anchorage mental health advocates Faith Myers and Dorrance Collins the experience of psychiatric patients could be improved by giving them a functional system to pursue grievances. If patients could have concerns taken seriously, they say, the hospital would have more accountability to the people it’s supposed to serve and not just regulators.
co prevention programs, a B for smoke-free workplace laws and access to services to quit and a C for state tobacco taxes. For comparison, Washington received F’s for tobacco prevention funding, access to cessation services and the tobacco-buying age, an A for smoke-free air and a C for tobacco taxes. Oregon received F’s for prevention funding and taxes, an A for smoke-free air, a D for access to cessa-
tion services and an A for tobacco-buying age. Stoneking said tobacco prevention programs receive about $10 million in funding, which is what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would recommend based on the state’s population. Smoke-free workplace laws received a major yearover-year grade bump. “Up until this year we’ve gotten an F for smoke-free air,” Stoneking said. “This year, it’s a B. That’s a big
deal.” In 2018 the Legislature passed a statewide smoke-free workplace law and required vape shops to be licensed and subject to underage sales enforcement. “That was the Legislature’s big win for tobaccoprevention,” Stoneking said. However, she said the state received a B grade because localities can opt out of the ban, but so far none have opted out.

The Coast Guard was able to release Kozloski’s name now that his family has been notified. The accident is being investigated, according to the Coast Guard. This is the second time a member of the Coast Guard has died in Alaska within a week. A crewman from Virginia was found dead last Sunday on Amaknak Island. He had been assigned to a cutter that was stopped in Dutch Harbor.
Tentative dates set for US senator speeches in Alaska JUNEAU — Tentative dates have been set for Alaska’s two U.S. senators to address Alaska state lawmakers. The state Senate on Friday accepted a request by U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski to address a joint session on Feb. 19 and by U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan to address a joint session on Feb. 21. The requests still must be accepted by the state House. The House lacks an organized majority, limiting the business it can take up until a majority forms. But the House found a workaround to accept a request by Gov. Mike Dunleavy last month to give his State of the State speech. Alaska’s U.S. senators traditionally address the Legislature to provide an update on their work in Washington, D.C. — Associated Press

Bears sweep Pilots By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Kenai River Brown Bears fans had been waiting three months for a home victory. So they were more than happy to wait through an overtime period and a shootout to finally get a win Friday over the Topeka (Kansas) Pilots. Fans didn’t have to wait nearly as long for the next win as the Bears came back from a 1-0 deficit in the third period for a 2-1 victory Saturday. “I’m proud of the guys and the work they’ve been doing,” Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich said.
“I’ve been telling them all along it’s going to take one to get us rolling. “I’m hoping last night was that one, now we’ve got two and we’re on a run.” Friday, Kenai River, getting two power-play goals from Trey LaBarge and clutch goaltending from Gavin Enright, defeated the Pilots 3-2 in a shootout in North American Hockey League play at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. The Brown Bears won at home for the first time since Nov. 2, snapping an 11-game skid in front of the faithful. Kenai Riv-
er also busted up a sixgame losing streak, while stretching Topeka’s losing streak to five. “It’s great,” LaBarge said. “We could feel this building and this definitely generates some momentum. There’s a buzz in the locker room right now.” Kenai River moves to 14-22-2-2, but is still 12 points out of a playoff spot in the Midwest Division and the fourth-place Springfield (Illinois) Jr. Blues remain red hot. Topeka falls to 17-19-2-5 and is just two points out of the playoffs in the South Division. See BEARS, page B2
Palmer stops Homer for state crown By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
Hockey can be a cruel sport. The Homer Mariners learned that Saturday night. A wild three minutes of frantic hockey punctuated the end of Saturday night’s Division II state championship game, and the Palmer Moose were the ones walking off the ice with a 6-5 overtime victory and the state title in front of the raucous home crowd at the Curtis Menard Sports Complex in Wasilla. Palmer sophomore Owen Hayes played spoiler for the Mariners with the gamewinning OT goal 3:16 into the extra period. Prior to OT, the Homer Mariners staged a miraculous rally, erasing a 4-1 deficit and taking a brief 5-4 lead with a minute to play in regulation, but the magic that had graced the Mariners suddenly evaporated as the Palmer Moose had one more trick up their sleeve. Palmer’s Luke Theisen tied the game with 34.4 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. For Palmer, it’s the second state hockey crown in school history and first in
30 years. “They believed in themselves,” said Palmer head coach Dean Wilson. “That’s not how you want to win a game, being up 4-1 at one point, but you’ve got to be careful with Homer. They’re going to dance around your guys if you’re going to be just standing there looking at the puck.” For Homer, it’s the second time the Mariners have finished runner-up at state hockey, following a 4-1 loss to Houston in 2005. It’s undoubtedly the most agonizing. “I’ve played hockey for 30 years, and that happens,” said Homer head coach Steve Nevak. “That’s hockey. In these big games, everybody shows up. Palmer showed up and they wanted it, and they peaked at the right time.” The Moose entered the tournament on an at-large bid as the No. 4 seed while Homer was the No. 3 seed. Top-seeded Soldotna lost in overtime to Palmer in Friday’s semifinals. “It’s just so disappointing to come back like that, take the lead, then get one unlucky bounce,” said junior Ethan Pitzman, who

finished with two goals. The late drama began with Homer staring at a daunting 4-1 deficit as the third period began. The rally began with 12 minutes left in the game on a Pitzman
goal. But things really got wild with 3:06 left when Pitzman scored again, this time on a rush on goal just as a Mariners power play expired. That cut the lead to 4-3.
“It was one goal at a time,” Nevak said. “We got one goal, then it’s about getting another one … it’s one shift at a time.” Palmer was called for hooking with 2 1/2 minutes
left, and Homer capitalized again, this time off the stick of Isaiah Nevak with 1:30 to go to tie the game. With momentum clearly on their side, the Mariners See HOMER, page B4
Soldotna takes 5th at state By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

For 44 minutes and 32 seconds of Friday’s state hockey semifinal, a berth in Saturday’s championship game loomed large for the Soldotna Stars. But everything changed in a heartbeat. SoHi suffered a late collapse in a heartbreaking loss in the Division II championship tournament semis, losing 4-3 in overtime to the Palmer Moose. Palmer senior Darian Wilson tied the game with 28.5 seconds left in
regulation, then junior Zach Nelius scored the game-winner 2:31 into the overtime period to complete a remarkable three-goal comeback and send Palmer to Saturday’s state final. The Stars ultimately took home fifth-place honors at the tournament after losing 3-1 Saturday afternoon to Juneau-Douglas. Friday’s finish left the SoHi locker room a solemn scene. “They came out that second and third periods and outplayed us,” said junior forward Wyatt Medcoff. “Simple as that.” Palmer fell behind 3-0 in the first period but flipped the momentum in
front of a raucous home crowd, scoring twice in the second period and tying it with just 28.5 seconds left in regulation on a flick in from Wilson to force an eight-minute overtime frame. Soldotna head coach Indy Walton blamed the collapse on a SoHi team dealing with sickness that sucked the energy and stamina out of players as the game wore on. “I’ve never put so much medicine in my bag before,” Walton said. It became evident as Palmer began to control puck possession for large swaths of the second and third periods, holding it in Soldotna’s zone as See STARS, page B3

Connor Felchle hit a 3-pointer with .6 seconds left in the game to give Kenai Central a 48-45 victory over host Nikiski on Friday in Southcentral Conference play.

. . . Bears Continued from page B1
After having last weekend off, the Bears came out strong Friday and outshot Topeka 12-6 in the first period en route to a 25-18 advantage for the game.
“That was probably one of our best first periods this season,” Petrich said. “At home, it was for sure.” LaBarge, assisted by Eagle River’s Zach Krajnik and JJ Boucher, had the lone goal of the first on the power play. Outnumbered, the defense must leave an area
open on the power play. The Bears noticed Topeka was leaving the area next to the goal open. LaBarge got the puck down there and spun out in front of the net for a goal. In the second period, with 11:35 and 10:18 remaining, Quinn Green and Kaiden Scott quickly gave
Topeka a 2-1 lead. “We got away from what we were doing in the second and let them dictate the pace and play,” Petrich said. The coach said the Bears were able to pull it together to close the second and gain momentum headed to the third.

Still, as the Bears rang a puck off the pipe with 12:23 left in the game, this had the potential to be another frustrating loss. With 3:28 left in the game, Topeka’s Eric Brown was sent to the box for slashing. On the power play, Krajnik got the puck to LaBarge in front of the net, and LaBarge and Alex Klekotka took turns battling before LaBarge tapped in the pivotal goal just 22 seconds in to the power play. “Special teams was the difference,” Topeka head coach Simon Watson said after the Bears were 2 for 3 with the extra man, and his side was 0 for 1. In the overtime period and in the shootout, Enright, committed to Division I Bemidji State, came to the fore. In overtime, he saved two breakaways. “He made some big saves down the stretch, in overtime and in the shootout,” Watson said. “Hats off to him.” In the shootout, Enright stopped all three Topeka shooters. Andy Walker, who had been 0 for 2 on the shootout this season, scored for the Bears and that was all they needed. “There’s a reason why he’s one of the best goalies in the league,” Petrich said of Enright. “He’s a great kid and we’re fortunate to have him.” While players like LaBarge, Walker and Enright played the hero’s roles, Petrich said the victory was a team win made possible by compete and hustle, particularly with forwards hustling back to help on defense. “It felt like a game we were going to win, sooner or later,” LaBarge said. Saturday, Quinn Green gave the Pilots a 1-0 lead just 4:09 into the first period. Petrich said the goal came on a weird high tip. The lead held up until Soldotna’s Preston Weeks, assisted by Logan Ritchie and Michael Spethmann, scored with 10:05 left in the game. “It’s his first ever goal at home,” Petrich said of the captain. “It’s a big deal.” Markuss Komuls, assisted by Krajnik and Spethmann, then scored with 32 seconds left in the game
for the victory. “It was a mad scrum with 30 seconds to go and Markuss Komuls, one of our best players, scored it,” Petrich said. Enright made 36 saves for the Bears, while Emil Gransoe stopped 31 for the Pilots. “To be a good team, your best player has got to be your goalie,” Petrich said. “It’s tough not to give him that notion.” Things got a bit chippy in the second period as all but four of the game’s 136 penalty minutes were handed out. “It’s two teams in the playoff hunt,” Petrich said. “It’s gonna be tight and they’re going to play hard. It was a great crowd again and exciting hockey.” Kenai River hosts Corpus Christi (Texas) on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the sports complex.

the Stars frantically worked to clear the puck and keep goaltender Josh Tree from taking shots. Tree finished with 37 saves on 41 shots. Palmer coach Dean Wilson said what helped the Moose in the final two periods was staying out of the penalty box. Palmer committed two violations in the first period and allowed a power-play goal. “We started playing fiveon-five hockey,” Wilson said. “We told our guys, keep your sticks down and don’t do anything stupid, and you’re going to win the game.” Wilson said a deadly power-play unit and a deep team that extends to the third line helped bring Palmer back into the game. “We’ve been working on this all of January,” Wilson said. “As long as we can get a power play in there, we’re feeling good.” Soldotna defeated Palmer twice this year, both games by 3-2 scores, but was left reflecting on what happened in the most important matchup of the year. “They’ve been there twice (this season) on the losing end with us,” Walton said. “We know how they feel now.” Alex Montague, Galen Brantley III and David Aley scored for SoHi in the first
period as the pucks were seemingly going SoHi’s way. Moose goalie Tiernan O’Rourke almost allowed a score with 52 seconds left in the period to Sam Skolnick on a misplayed puck by a defenseman, then did allow one on a similar play with 35 seconds left. Aley caught the puck on a mistimed Palmer pass and slotted it home for a 3-0 Stars lead. The momentum began to shift in the second period when Montague was called for interference and Wilson capitalized on the Moose power play to kick in a rebound shot off of Tree’s pads. Nathan Hooks cut the lead to 3-2 later in the period, setting up a tense third stanza. Nelius had two great looks on goal with around four minutes to play but couldn’t knock in the rebound on either shot. “Props to Josh, he had a really nice game today,” Medcoff said. “Those two goals really didn’t define him.” Palmer called a timeout with 1:25 to play, and the break evidently helped. Walton called the game-tying goal one of the luckiest he has seen with such high stakes. “It wasn’t even a shot, it was a butterfly,” he said. With the late change of fortune, Walton said the switch from playing a preventative defensive scheme to returning to attack mode
Mahomes nabs MVP ATLANTA (AP) — Patrick Mahomes’ breathtaking breakthrough season earned him the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award. The Chiefs quarterback landed a pair of honors at NFL Honors on Saturday night, taking The Associated Press 2018 MVP and Offensive Player of the Year awards. In his second pro season, Mahomes led Kansas City to its first AFC title game since 1993 with some of the most creative and clutch plays the league has seen in years. “I’m so humbled,” he said. “This is just the beginning. We’ve got a long ways to go. “It is an honor. It’s a hard award to win. The next award I hope I can get is the Super Bowl.” Mahomes received 41 votes from a nationwide panel of media members who regularly cover the league. New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees got the other nine. With only one previous start, Mahomes entered the season as something of a curiosity in Kansas City after the Chiefs traded veteran Alex Smith to open up the job. It didn’t take long to erase any doubts as Mahomes led the Chiefs to their first AFC title game since the 1993 season, throwing for 50 touchdowns, 5,097 yards and had a 113.8 QB rating, trailing only Brees. Mahomes’ ingenuity — the guy can throw from all angles and make plays inside and outside the pocket — energized the Chiefs’ fan base and excited fans across the league. “The play is never dead. He can find new ways to get you the ball,” Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce said. “It may look like a screwball, a slider here or there, but it’ll get to you eventually.” Mahomes is the sixth straight quarterback and 11th of the past 12 years to win MVP. No Kansas City player had won the award since the Chiefs joined the NFL in 1970. Earlier, he was selected as the top offensive player, beating Brees 30 votes to 16. “Yeah, I mean, it’s awesome ... I got put into a great situation,” he said. “I got to learn behind a great quarterback in Alex Smith. I got to be on a team with a lot of playmakers who helped me excel my game and make me look really good on a daily basis. And, then, to be able to go out there and win football games in front of a passionate fan base is something I get the luxury of doing.”

proved to be difficult. “Chip the puck out of our zone,” Walton said when asked what the late game message was. “High off the glass, whatever you’ve got to do to keep it out of our zone and keep it deep.” In overtime, the Moose found a way to get the puck near the crease and when sticks began whacking, it was only a matter of time before the puck found its way in, as it bounced away from a scrum and onto the waiting stick of Nelius, who slotted it home to begin the wild celebration. Despite the state semifinal loss, Walton said the state result doesn’t wipe away a successful season that included winning the Railbelt Conference title, SoHi’s sixth in school history. “That’s the goal, regroup and rebuild,” Walton said. “We’ll miss our seniors. They’re the ones this loss will be the hardest for.” Juneau 3, Soldotna 1 Saturday’s third-place game turned sour for SoHi with two goals by Juneau in the second period. Galen Brantley III closed the gap
to 2-1 in the third period with a power-play strike, but the weary Stars had nothing more for the Crimson Bears. The game was also the final hurrah for the senior class of Braxton Urban, Kenzie Powell, Cody Nye and Sam Skolnick. After the game, Urban said playing for Soldotna is something he’ll always hold dear. “It’s hard to comprehend that this is it,” he said. “For me it’ll always be about the white and blue jersey with stars on the front.” Urban said his post high school plan is to go into the process technology program at Kenai Peninsula College, while Powell said her plans are still unknown but she hopes to play college hockey. Powell said junior teammate Wyatt Medcoff stood up and delivered a “going away” speech after Friday’s semifinal loss, which she described as touching. “He said every win next year will be a step forward for the team,” she said. “He said next year will be dedicated to this year’s seniors.” Powell’s short stature as
a goalie isn’t something that typically draws attention from opponents, but Powell said the teammates and coaches she has had over her prep career at SoHi have inspired her to be great. “Just giving me confidence,” Powell said when asked what were the greatest team lessons she has learned. “We’re all a family, we’ve all grown together. They’re always back there with me, talking to me.” Before the seniors stepped off the ice for the final time, they had to contend with the Crimson Bears. Juneau broke open a scoreless game with two power-play goals in the second period from Ethan Welch and Finn Yerkes. Galen Brantley III capitalized on a Bears power play to score SoHi’s only goal with 10:17 left in the third, but Juneau goalie Cody Mitchell stood tall in goal as SoHi pelted him with pucks. The Stars outshot the Bears 17-4 in the final period. Overall, Mitchell stopped 40 of 41 shots for Juneau. SoHi goalie Corbin Wirz warded off 16 of 19.

. . . Homer Continued from page B1
then took a 5-4 lead with 1:03 to go on a chip shot by Tyler Gilliland, stunning the home crowd and sending the Homer supporters into a frenzy. “We just got fired up and started scoring and got on a roll,” Gilliland said. It all amounted to three Homer goals in 2:03 of game time and 4-2 hole that transformed into a 5-4 lead. Pitzman said the Mariners have rallied from thirdperiod deficits throughout the season, but with a state title on the line, the Moose had one last gasp effort and made it count. Theisen somehow poked the puck by Warren to tie it back up with 34.4 seconds remaining in regulation. Both teams had several good chances in overtime, but as destiny would have it,
a hooking charge to Pitzman in overtime put Homer on the penalty kill, and Hayes was the one to get his stick on the puck to win it. Prior to the late theatrics, Palmer enjoyed a successful second period that began tied at 1 apiece. Zach Nelius won the opening faceoff of the period and scored just 12 seconds in to put the Moose ahead 2-1, and Nathan Hooks padded it with a goal 31 seconds later to make it 3-1. Nelius added a second goal late in the period on the power play to put the Moose up 4-1 heading into the final frame. With six seniors graduating, including starting goaltender Hunter Warren, team co-captain Tucker Weston, defenders Ali and Brenna McCarron, and forward Nikola Reutov and goalie Conner Roderick, Nevak said the message in the locker room after the game was one of motivation.

“Remember this feeling and this won’t happen again,” Nevak said. “We have a strong junior class that I believe in 100 percent.” Homer 3, Juneau 0 One word defined the Homer Mariners’ state semifinal win over JuneauDouglas on Friday. Redemption. Having lost two tough road games to Juneau earlier in the season, the Mariners claimed the most important one of all, Friday’s Div. II state semifinal with a resounding 3-0 victory to secure their spot in Satur-
day’s championship final. Homer junior Ethan Pitzman notched a hat trick for Homer, breaking open a scoreless game with three goals in the third period, and senior Hunter Warren stood tall in goal with a 43save shutout. It was everything they could have imagined. “This is the one that counts,” Warren said. “This is everything,” Pitzman added. “This is like regions for us.” The triumph was also redemption for a heartbreaking loss at the conference tournament a year ago, when Homer lost a chance to qualify for its first state

tournament ever with a semifinal loss to Wasilla. “You’ve never seen so many young men cry in the locker room,” Pitzman recalled of that loss. “That was a dream season.” Now, in the school’s first ever state hockey appearance since the state split into two divisions for large and small schools, the Mariners are 2-0 in the postseason in program history. Homer coach Steve Nevak credited team health in helping the Mariners reach their goal. Two weeks ago, Homer had a rash of players ill as they took to the road in Juneau and lost 4-3 in overtime before returning the next day to lose 7-3. “Our goaltender was one of the sick ones in Juneau,” Nevak said. “Obviously he ain’t sick no more.” Warren was a menace between the pipes, stifling the Crimson Bears with dynamic play including a handful of highlight-reel stops. Warren staved off 35 shots in the first two periods alone, including a 21-save second period. “I always think in big games, you’ve got to pull it though,” Warren said. “You’re team’s going to help you out all they can, but in the end, lot of times it comes down to the goalie so I had to play with the mindset that it would all be me.” The drama built as neither team could solve the other’s goaltender. For Juneau, goalie Cody Mitchell warded off the Mariners’ advances, and finished with 23 saves. For a second day in a row, Nevak said Homer came out sluggish and nervous, and unable to shake off the funk they were in, but encouraging words kept their minds in the game. “Talking about positivity,” Nevak said. “Kids were on the bench, feeling down and getting frustrated, and once we started rolling with the positivity, everything
changed. “I said whoever gets that first goal, the other team will stay down.” As the third period dawned, the intensity reached a whole new level, and Pitzman finally broke the tension with 9:43 left to play on a rush down the right flank, redirecting a cross-ice pass from teammate Tyler Gilliland to slip the puck by Mitchell for a 1-0 lead. “That power play goal was huge,” Pitzman said. “My linemate Tyler with two beautiful passes … we’ve been playing since we’re like six years old, and no one works harder than him.” Pitzman delivered again with 4:02 to go, then finished off his hat trick with 1:37 left on another assist from Gilliland to send the Homer crowd into a frenzy.

ATLANTA (AP) — For towering tight end Tony Gonzalez, this was a slam dunk. The 6-foot-5 Gonzalez, who turned the celebratory post-TD dunk over the crossbar into an art form, was voted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday. Joining him will be two more first-time nominees, Champ Bailey and Ed Reed, along with another defensive back, Ty Law, and center Kevin Mawae; Law and Mawae were both in their third year as finalists. The contributor nominees, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and Cowboys and NFL executive Gil Brandt , each made it, as did senior Johnny Robinson, the defensive back who helped the Chiefs win Super Bowl 4. Gonzalez started in Kansas City and finished in At-
lanta, where voters met on the eve of the Super Bowl to select the Class of 2019; they didn’t need much time to debate his worthiness. In short, Gonzalez had more than his fair share of chances to jam. (Maybe not by accident, the NFL banned the practice in 2014, the year after he retired.) The most prolific pass catcher at his position over a 17-year career, Gonzalez caught 1,325 passes (second in NFL history) for 15,127 yards (sixth) and 111 touchdowns. He was a six-time All-Pro, made 14 Pro Bowls, and his 916 catches with the Chiefs set one of 22 franchise records he held upon his retirement. “I knew I had a good chance, I’m not going to lie about that,” he said. “Still, when you hear the knock, your heart drops.”

Things Change Just like nearly everyone we know here, we have a bird feeder. It supplies lots of entertainment this time of the year. Chickadees and nuthatches cavort all day from trees to feeder and back again, trying to be king of the hill. We put out suet along with seeds that attract Stellar’s Jays, too. We can count on one to show up at noon every day. I think he had a route he follows, and we are lunch. When we first moved into this neighborhood, we saw golden-crowned sparrows, crimson grosbeaks, redpolls, and sundry other small birds all year. That was long enough ago that the street was not yet paved, our mailbox was in front of the house on a post and we had little kids up and down the street all day. In time, the city paved and striped the street; the mail box changed to a cluster box on the side street, and the kids grew up. The bird population changed, too. As traffic found our paved shortcut through town connecting the highways, different species moved in and out. The golden-crowned sparrows were the first to go, then the grosbeaks and redpolls. Chickadees aren’t afraid of anything. They thrive on attention, it seems, and the nuthatches are ornery and feisty, so they both stayed, and the Steller’s jays moved in. A little wary at first, they soon added our feeder to their daily flit through town, and even in summer make our yard their convention center. We see robins by the end of April, and other thrushes, as well as regular sparrows and wrens. Even Bohemian waxwings make a short appearance late in the year as the Mountain Ash berries freeze and (probably) start to ferment. And we have had an eagle every now and then perch in the big tree. I am not really a bird watcher, as such. I don’t go on the Christmas bird count, or carry binoculars with me to see if I can score a rare find, but I like to see the birds in our yard and around the feeder, and I always look for the sandhill cranes on Bridge Access Road and the swans on the way to Anchorage. They are my assurance that all’s right with the world if they are when and where I expect them to be. This past few weeks I have had a research project of looking for something in the Clarion from 1979-80, which happens to coincide with when we moved into this neighborhood. The trouble with that kind of job is that it is so easy to spend a lot of time reading the old news. I’ve been reminded of old scandals (which reminds me of something my mom said once during a crisis in my young life: “Will this be important in five years?”) I’ve recognized names from long ago, and come to understand the changes in our town and country through 20/20 hindsight. What really caught my attention is the national news 40 years ago. In 1979, at the end of Jimmy Carter’s presidency, Iran and Saudi Arabia were the foreign adversaries and oil was prominent. Sound familiar? “ERA [equal rights amendment] will not result in unisex bathrooms” was another headline. (Shades of LGBTQ). NOW [National Organization of Women] was advocating for more women in positions of power, albeit a little more sedately than the current #MeToo movement. At the same time, headlines were touting several women judges, the girls sports teams at KCHS were winning tournaments and females generally were going about their daily lives as fisher persons or doctors unaware they were being oppressed much as they do today. The more things change, etc. Rolling through the microfilm, I recall the format of the Clarion of the era, and miss some of the ‘old hometown’ flavor of that paper. Announcements of engagements, pictures of brides, a column of ‘recent births’ from the hospital. “Horse Talk” and “Art Council Comments” were a regular columns, and each week a section that featured a segment of the population at work in pictures and prose: fishermen, artists, organizations. What does all this have to do with my bird feeder you might ask. Absolutely nothing, except as a counterpoint to the realization that everything changes, for better or worse. Improvements, like paving a street, are bound to bring other changes which may not be as positive, like more traffic which prompts birds to change their habitat. Forty years has made us more aware (and I hope more accepting) of different life styles and cultures, but at the expense of our own autonomy and the death of civil conversation because one dares not express a dissenting opinion in fear of offending and/or alienating someone. Identity politics reigns. Then I see the chickadees in the trees scolding the nuthatch sitting on the suet daring them to come closer, and I realize that change is inevitable, growth is optional.

February — a month of love, wellness and wisdom In all the elements, February oozes with happiness and warmth, even though it tends to be a chilly time of year. Facts: Astrological signs — Aquarius and Pisces Birthstone — Amethyst Color — Purple, a blend of deep violet and red to a lighter lilac hue Flowers — Violet and primrose Bird — Indigo Bunting Trees — Cedar, cypress, pine and poplar Days observed — Ground Hog Day, Valentine’s Day, Washington’s birthday, Lincoln’s birthday, Leap Year February’s astrological signs of Aquarius is the 11th sign in the zodiac and is the water bearer. The zodiac element is air. Aquarius people are humanitarians. The astrological sign of Pisces is the 12th sign in the zodiac and is the fish. The zodiac element is water. Pisces are very friendly people. February’s birthstone is amethyst, which is a meditative, calming stone that works on the emotional, spiritual and physical planes. It promotes balance and peace while eliminating impatience. The month’s color is purple, a blend of deep violet and red to a lighter lilac hue. It symbolizes power, nobility and ambition, with an air of wealth and extravagance. Purple is creativity, mystery, independence, wisdom and magic. The flowers of February are the violet and primrose. The violet symbolizes watchfulness, loyalty and faithfulness, while primrose lets someone know you can’t live without them.
M ounthly M usings B onnie M arie P layle The bird of the month is the Indigo Bunting. It’s a small seed-eating bird in the cardinal family, but instead of being red it’s blue. This bird is good, truth and love with spiritual origins. The trees of February are many, from the 1st to the 3rd of the month is the cypress and symbolizes faithfulness. Cypress people are strong, content and take life as it comes. The 4th to the 8th is the poplar, which is the symbol of uncertainty. Poplar people are lonely, choosy and not self-confident. The 9th to the 18th is the cedar, which is confidence. Cedar people are rare beauty and good health. The 19th to the 28th is the pine, which symbolizes particular. Pine people tend to love agreeable company, are robust and very active. The 29th is poplar, also. Groundhog Day is the first holiday of the month. This is on Candlemas Day, the halfway mark between winter solstice and spring equinox, which is the first day of spring. When the day started to be observed in Europe, the Germans brought a hedgehog to the mix, while back east the groundhog was used. If the animal’s shadow was seen due to the bright, sunny day, there would be six more weeks of winter. If the day was dark and cloudy, spring would come soon.
The Recycling Bin
Then, of course, the second holiday in February is Valentine’s Day, the day of love. In ancient times, February meant to purify; Rome had festivities to re-establish righteous living, but in current times the focus has been changed to love The third holiday observed is Presidents Day, which is a combination of Lincoln’s birthday and Washington’s birthday. During Washington’s time in office as the first president of the United States, there was the War of Independence. This war gave us political independence from Great Britain and formed the United States of America. As the 16th president of the United States, Lincoln abolished slavery; he was assassinated shortly after. The South wanted their own nation and to keep slavery, bu the North totally disagreed. This conflict brought about the Civil War. These two presidents are a celebrated combination because of their belief in freedom, which is one of the principles that make this nation great. It’s scary to ponder the condition of the nation if these presidents hadn’t fought for it. The last day observed in February every four years is the 29th, known as Leap Year. Research tells me this is a corrective measure, because the earth doesn’t revolve around the sun in precisely 365 days. The Gregorian calendar is a modification of the Julian calendar used by the Romans. The whole month of February speaks of wellness, such as getting rid of impatience, being stress free, having wisdom, loyalty, faithfulness and showing love. What better traits for a person to attain.

Hurtigruten was the first major travel company in the world to remove singleuse plastic from their entire fleet. Liquified biogas from dead fish and other organic wastes will soon power a fleet of luxury cruise ships, saving money and protecting the environment. The 125-yearold operator Hurtigruten, known for its trips to the Arctic, will operate six of its 17 ships using a combination of biogas, liquified natural gas and large battery packs by 2021.

It’s that simple! Brown Bag Lunches with Style According to Business News Daily, the average American spends $2,000 on eating lunch out each year. Our wallets aren’t the only thing to suffer when we eat out frequently. Since restaurant meals are usually far less healthy than food prepared at home, cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight all tend to climb, making this an expensive and potentially harmful habit. Taking a few minutes the night before to pack a lunch can improve both your financial and physical health! Here are some quick and easy tips to brown bag with style: Start with a protein, add a fruit, a veggie, a grain, and a dairy for a complete meal. 1. Early each week, hard boil eggs, cut up veggies, and have sliced meats and cheeses ready. 2. Portion out the next day’s lunch as you put away the leftovers from dinner. 3. Try layering hearty salads in a mason jar with dressing and chopped veggies on the bottom. 4. Sandwiches and quesadillas are simple to make; vary the filling to keep things interesting. 5. Add an ice pack to keep your lunch fresh and safe. Submitted by Amorette Payment, UAF Cooperative Extension Service, Nutrition Educator, Kenai Peninsula District.

New, simpler lifestyle sparks anger among family, friends DEAR ABBY: My husband and I decided a couple of years ago that we wanted to live a simpler, slowerpaced life. We decided to get rid of our TV, tablets and social media accounts and trade our smartphones in for flip phones, among other changes. Since then we have been focusing more on our marriage and our four kids. We have picked up new hobbies and have been learning better communication skills. The result: We find ourselves happier and less stressed overall.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Feb. 3, 2019: This year, you create a new beginning in your life, which could be exciting. You also could become very me-oriented, as your creativity soars and ideas spill out of you. If you’re single, your charisma is multiplied and you have your pick of sweeties. You decide if you want to commit or play the field. If you’re attached, please don’t ignore your sweetie in this period of excitement. Remember, your relationship is a two-way street. A fellow AQUARIUS often grounds you in this spectacular year. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 20-April 19) HHH You sense excitement surrounding you, especially when dealing with your friends. You’ve learned over the years how to handle surprising results and the unexpected. A friend might want to break past a barrier. Be willing to let go of certain unneeded ground rules. Tonight: Let your hair down. This Week: Emphasize the group or whole. You could want to play recluse by Friday. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Break past boundaries and get to the basics of what needs to happen. You might create an adverse reaction. One-on-one relating is the key to unlocking a problem. You gain a perspective on how you can help someone get over a problem. Tonight: Look at the big picture. This Week: You see life from a boss’s perspective. Work with that insight, and everyone gains. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might be surer of yourself than you’ve been in a while. Your caring opens a loved one up to sharing more. You see an unusual opportunity. Don’t worry so much -- just head toward it. You will open doors and satisfy your curiosity. Tonight: Opt to try something new. This Week: Tap into an intellectual person who comes up with interesting ideas. You might decide to act on one of them. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Others make an impression on you. Still, you might not be sure about a decision and the way you want to handle an emotional matter involving a potential loved one or partner. Know what you want, then act on it, even if you don’t have the support you want. Tonight: Accept an offer graciously. This Week: A partner gives you an earful on Monday and Tuesday. You could be weighing the pros and cons of what you heard afterward. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HH You are a strong believer in working hard and playing hard. You have pushed to complete a lot of your work and fulfill certain obligations, and you need a break you’ll enjoy. Go ahead and orchestrate a tension-releasing fun day. Others will happily join in. Tonight: Let it all hang out. This Week: You are playful and full of energy because you have a provocative playmate. My, my, you are distracted. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your playful side keeps trying to come through. You find that many of your friends and loved ones are tired and drawn. A partner decides to make the day livelier. You could really get into this person’s plans and suggestions. Tonight:
Too busy to be found. This Week: Deal with basics and complete as much as you can by Wednesday. You might want to free up some time to network then. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Let your hair down and get past a self-imposed restriction. You might need more self-discipline, but right now isn’t the time to begin. Instead, relax with a favorite loved one. What starts out mellow could become wild and out of control. Tonight: You can be found smiling. This Week: Express your frisky, fun side. You will have to settle in midweek and handle some work. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Stay on top of your obligations, but understand when to let go and relax. Stay close to home -- invite a favorite friend or family member over. Many people delight to see you relax and have a good time. You can be so serious! Tonight: Make it an early dinner. This Week: Stay anchored and deal with basics. Be more in touch with the possibilities and your creativity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might want to socialize and kick back. You could be exhausted by work, obligations or a certain set of demands. The best way to recharge your batteries is to reverse gears and raise the roof. By letting go, you allow yourself to breathe and rejoice. Tonight: Let the good times roll. This Week: Indulge a tendency to tell it like it is. Others might close off by Wednesday, though, if you continue on that path. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You have been very serious and efficient. You remain careful with, or at least aware of, your spending. Don’t hold back for a change, and simply indulge a fantasy or two. Fulfill your vision of a happy day with others. Tonight: Give up being so appropriate ... for now. This Week: Try to act like you have a budget, and you will ultimately be happier. Be reasonable in your choices of where to meet up with friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might have been dragging and feeling as though you can’t complete as much as you’d like to. You might want to complete a project right now, but make sure you have an equal amount of time to enjoy yourself. You need a weekend too. Tonight: Join friends, wherever they may be. This Week: You are on a roll. Don’t let anyone stop you! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might want to settle down and vanish. You have worked hard. You have played hard. Allow a new beginning between yourself and a loved one. Take some quiet time to share and be present with this person. Both of you will anchor more easily than you thought possible. Tonight: Shhh, don’t tell all. This Week: Not until Wednesday do you feel up to snuff. Be easy on yourself.

Dear Readers: Is your dog an “OUTSIDE DOG”? He shouldn’t be. Dogs are pack animals, and they want to be with us. Yes, a dog can track muddy footprints inside, may have an occasional accident and may scamper up on the couch during a thunderstorm, but that’s why paper toweling was invented. In some states, it is illegal to leave your dog outside in extreme hot or extreme cold. Think of your dog as a member of the family, and let the dog inside, especially now, when some parts of the country are in a deep freeze. -- Heloise P.S. If your dog has behavior issues, talk with your veterinarian.

Mini Fact:
Honoring History
The Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama honors the first black military pilots.
February is African-American History Month. To celebrate, let’s visit some of the sites that have been preserved to help us honor and appreciate the contributions of AfricanAmericans.
The Booker T. Washington National Monument is the birthplace of this amazing educator. He was born in Hardy, Virginia, as a slave in 1856. He later helped found Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, one of the first colleges for black students.
Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka, Kansas, honors the Supreme Court case of 1954. The court ruled that the government must allow students of all races to go to public schools together.
Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site in Little Rock, Arkansas, is where nine African-American high school students first tried to go to school after the Supreme Court banned school segregation 60 years ago. The students had to walk through a group of about 1,000 angry people protesting desegregation.
Frederick Douglass’ study.
The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site in Washington, D.C., honors this great writer and speaker. Douglass, who was born a slave, escaped from slavery to fight for the rights of African-Americans, women and the poor. The George Washington Carver National Monument in Diamond, Missouri, honors the scientist who worked to produce better food crops and products. He is best known for inventing peanut butter as we know it today.

’Brew’ up your own potting mix
This undated photo shows potting soil being made in New Paltz, N.Y. (Lee Reich via AP)
My gardening season begins on my garage floor. Here I mix potting soil that will nourish this season’s seedlings and replace worn-out soil around the roots of houseplants. Why make potting soil? Why bake bread? There’s really no special magic in good potting soil.
BASIC INGREDIENTS The three basic ingredients in my mix are garden soil, mineral aggregate and organic matter. Used alone, garden soil is too dense for containers. The mineral aggregate loosens up the mix to let water flow readily into and through it. Vermiculite and perlite are two lightweight aggregates, the first made from heated mica and the second from heated volcanic rock. Sand and calcined clay (“kitty litter”) are heavier aggregates, so are useful for topheavy plants such as cacti. Organic matter in potting soils acts like a sponge to absorb water, which plants can then draw on between waterings. Organic matter also buffers soils against drastic changes in acidity, and keeps nutrients from washing out through the bottom of seedling flats and flower pots. Peat moss, sphagnum moss and coir (a byproduct of coconut processing) are organic materials that you can buy. Compost and leafmould are two organic materials that you can brew up yourself and, in contrast to the previously mentioned materials, also offer nutrients to plants. Some people pasteurize their potting soil to reduce the threat of pests. The key is to avoid too much heat, which can bring its own problems. Bake the potting soil in the oven along with an embedded potato, and when the potato is done, so is the potting soil. Rather than pasteurizing the soil, I prefer to avoid pests with careful watering, abundant light, and other cultural conditions that make plants happy and pests sad.
RIGHT AT HOME: Kitchen islands evolve to meet today’s needs By Kim Cook THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Prep surface. Gathering spot. Storage solution. The kitchen island is one of those home elements that seems to have known its purpose from its inception: a utilitarian divider between kitchen and family zones, the heart of the home. Over the years, the kitchen island has come to offer far more than counter space. It might include a cooktop, bookshelves, drop-down bar, sink and acres of granite. Today’s islands come in all shapes and sizes, and have been tailored for all kinds of purposes. One important addition is connectivity: Designers and architects are integrating plugs, ports and other tech features into the kitchen island. For one project, New York City designer Michael Wood integrated a system of USB ports and outlets into a kitchen island that also included ample storage, good seating and a clever petfeeding nook. “The result is a family hub of activity,” he says. Granite has given ground to more performance-friendly countertops. Engineered materials like Dekton, Silestone, Corian and others are heat-, scratch- and stain-resistant. Designers are using real and faux woods, too. And there’s a trend toward combining different types of surfaces. In another project, Wood used soapstone, butcher block and Corian on the kitchen island. “An island is a great place to be creative,” says Chicago kitchen designer Mick De Giulio. “I often combine materials and use them to define various functions.” For instance, he has used a thick chunk of hand-scraped wenge wood, for example, as a breakfast countertop: “I like the warmer, softer surface to rest your arms and elbows.”

Then he might use polished stainless steel as a joinery or accent element. In a tight galley kitchen, an island might replace a wall, giving a renovated kitchen more breathing room, more light and more work space. Cabinetry and shelving on the island can hold kids’ craft gear, books or barware. Built-in microwaves, ovens and deep, pullout drawers offer efficiency. In a larger home, the island can serve even more purposes, including breakfast bar, entertainment zone or home office. Look for seating that complements the room: Sturdy bases and backrests make for safe, comfy places to settle in, while low-profile stools that slide out of sight might be all you need for occasional use. Pick pieces with easily cleaned performance fabrics, or go with plastic, steel or wood if you’ve got messy eaters. Spend some time on the lighting, Wood advises. If the kitchen is a work centre, put in task lighting. “For others who never cook, lighting is almost a decorative element,” he says.
STIR THE BREW For the ritual opening of the garden season, I give my garage floor a clean sweep and then make a pile of 2 gallons each of garden soil, peat moss, perlite and compost. On top of this mound I sprinkle a cup of lime and a half cup each of soybean meal and powdered kelp. This is a mixed bag of ingredients, but I reason that plants, just like humans, benefit from a varied diet. I slide my garden shovel underneath the pile and turn it over, working around the edge until the whole mass is thoroughly mixed, and moistening it slightly if it seems dry. Finally, I rub the mix through a half-inch sieve, and recite a few incantations to complete this brew that nourishes my seedlings and houseplants each season.
Wood recommends under-cabinet LED lights and directional sconces, all dimmable. Pendants are popular, but if you’ve got a low ceiling, be mindful of their positioning. Minimalist horizontal fixtures that sit just slightly below the ceiling might work better for instance, Lightology’s Essence fixture, a barely-there sliver of brass or nickel, casts a warm glow but doesn’t loom over the island. West
Elm has the Linear pendant with a walnut finish that’s slim and stylish. If you just need an island work zone, consider Slate Design’s freestanding ones designed by Mark Daniel, and available at CB2 . There’s a high-gloss, white-lacquered version with a cubby, open shelving and a white marble top, or a somewhat shorter one in a grey-washed wood with marble top.
US home price gains slowed in November
SOIL IS GOOD, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL Good garden soil is hard to obtain in reliable and large quantities, so most commercial potting mixes are made without any real soil at all. These mixes are made only from mineral aggregate and organic matter. You can make such a soil-less mix yourself by sieving together equal volumes of peat moss and perlite. This mix has no nutrients, so stir in a starter feed of one-half cup of dolomitic limestone and some fertilizer whose nutrient ratio is about 5-10-5. Real soil does add nutrients and other good things to a potting mix, so I favour traditional potting mixes, which contain real garden soil. Even if you buy potting soil, keep a few bags of some type of mineral aggregate and organic material on hand. No one potting mix can suit the needs of every plant. Add extra aggregate to any mix used for cacti or succulents, and extra organic matter to any mix for plants such as African violets and begonias that like consistently moist soils.

WASHINGTON — U.S. home prices rose at a slower pace in November, as sales have tumbled and affordability has deteriorated for many would-be buyers. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city home price index grew 4.7 percent from a year earlier, dropping off from a 5 percent annual increase in October, according to a Tuesday report. Home sales drifted downward for much of 2018, causing homes to sit on the market longer and price growth to slip. Buyers have found it difficult to afford a home due to a shortage of properties at a median price of roughly $250,000, last year’s rising mortgage rates and roughly six years of home price growth exceeding
wage gains. “Home prices are still rising, but more slowly than in recent months,”
says David M. Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. “The pace of price increases are being dampened by declining sales of existing homes and weaker affordability.” The Las Vegas metro area posted the largest price gains at 12 percent, followed by Phoenix at 8.1 percent and Seattle at 6.3 percent. All 20 of the metro areas tracked by the index reported price gains, with Washington,
DC posting the slowest gain at 2.7 percent. Still, 2019 has offered consumers some relief as the average 30-year mortgage rate has dipped to 4.45 percent from a recent peak of nearly 5 percent. This could help to boost demand after sales declined last year. The National Association of Realtors said last week that sales of existing homes in 2018 fell 3.1 percent from the prior year to 5.34 million units, the lowest level since 2015.
