In the news Energy specialist urges radon tests after earthquake ANCHORAGE — A state energy specialist is encouraging those affected by last month’s earthquake in southcentral Alaska to retest their homes for radon. Radon is an odorless gas that has been linked to cancer. It is formed when uranium underground decays. Art Nash is a state energy specialist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He tells the Anchorage Daily News that under normal circumstances he recommends homeowners test for radon every five years. But he says that when the ground is disturbed, it can create fissures that allow radon to escape into the air. Since it’s impossible to know where fissures may have formed, he recommends every homeowner affected by the earthquake retest their homes.
Kodiak district to put to use shuttered school buildings KODIAK — District officials are planning to put to use the buildings that housed two Kodiak Island schools that were shut down because of low enrollment. Kodiak Island Borough School District Superintendent Larry LeDoux said the school buildings in Larsen Bay and Karluk will serve as hubs for general community needs, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Thursday. The district closed both schools after enrollment dropped below 10 students at each site. Schools with fewer than 10 students cannot qualify for state funding. “One option would be to simply board them up and cool them down, but that doesn’t work,” LeDoux said. “If you board them up, you just have an empty building.” Using the buildings will stave off thousands of dollars in deferred maintenance costs needed if the schools are ever reopened, LeDoux said. For the Larsen Bay building, the building could serve as a study hall. Borough manager Michael Powers said the city of Larsen Bay has been helpful in keeping the building open, noting it has provided utilities. The building in Karluk has provided some challenges, but the borough is working to resolve any issues, Powers said. — Associated Press

In DC discussions, Dunleavy focuses on quake recovery By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire
Gov. Mike Dunleavy flew from Alaska’s capital to the nation’s capital this week, getting a chance to get Alaska’s issues on the minds of secretaries, directors and even the president. Speaking over the phone from Washington, D.C. on Friday, Dunleavy said the chance to sit down at a table with President Donald Trump and other newly elected governors was valuable, even if he didn’t get any alone time with the president. “We didn’t get any one-onone time per se,” Dunleavy said. “When the press left, he went around the table and got our thoughts on the big issues facing our states right now.”

Chiefly, Dunleavy talked wake of a 7.0 earthquake that about relief efforts in the caused damage throughout
the Anchorage area on Nov. 30. Talking with the heads of departments such as Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao and officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) about earthquake relief was a major priority of his going into the trip, he said. “I think the first thing was to establish a relationship with these secretaries in the various areas such as transportation, and work with FEMA to establish a relationship and to put on their radar screen what some of the issues are in Alaska,” Dunleavy said. He ended up meeting with people from those departments, specifically talking about plans for earthquake See QUAKE, page A3
Reader’s guide to local holiday shopping By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Whether it be poetry, adventure, nonfiction or cookbooks, local writers cover a variety of genres. The gift of books and reading can be appreciated by children and adults alike. If a book is on your Christmas list, there are several titles written by residents of the central peninsula to add to your shopping list. Bill Howell of Sterling has written several books about the history of brewing in Alaska. His book “Alaska Beer: Liquid Gold in the Land of the Midnight Sun,” explores the historic and present Alaska beer scene. You can find his books at River City Books in Soldotna, Kenai River Brewing Company and at the Kenai Peninsula College Bookstore. Willow-Haven Walaszek grew up on the Kenai Peninsula and is studying to be a

poles has its maximum tilt away from the sun, is welcomed each year. It signals that Alaska’s already short winter days will creep up in length, and gives people a chance to celebrate the astronomical phenomenon. The Kenai Wildlife Refuge is hosting a guided Solstice Walk through the refuge Friday. “The full moon is on Dec. 22
at 8:50 a.m., so we figured we’d do a walk in the evening,” said Ranger Michelle Ostrowkski. “The sun sets at 3:43 p.m. and the moon rises at 3:53 p.m. We’ll walk down to the lake and celebrate solstice, the shortest day of the year.” Bear Creek Winery will be lighting up the shortest day of the year with their Garden of Lights.

Kenai Police Department is offering free vacation checks to city residents leaving their homes vacant for the holiday season. Lt. Ben Langham said the service is offered year-round but is popular during this time of the year. “We add those homes to a special patrol log and go to those homes and make sure they are checked on,” Langham said. Any city resident is eligible for the free service. The police department will ask for your name, address and a list of emergency contacts. Langham said at any given time during the year, the department has five to 10 homes they are checking on. Residents can call 907283-7879 if they are interested in having their home checked on this holiday season.
Nine months after a fatal assault, a Juneau grand jury indicted a local woman for second-degree murder, according to a press release from the Juneau Police Department. Jamie Diane Moy Singh, 35, was arrested Friday after the grand jury handed down its indictment Thursday, the release states. The charge stems from an alleged March 6 assault that resulted in the death of 59-yearold Mary Lou Singh. During the March 6 assault, Mary Lou Singh suffered a head injury and was taken to Providence Hospital in Anchorage, police said at the time. She was pronounced dead 10 days later. The assault happened in the 8100 block of Snipe Court, and Jamie Diane Moy Singh was also taken to Bartlett Regional Hospital for injuries suffered in the incident, police said. The younger Singh is a Juneau resident, JPD Lt. Krag Campbell said Saturday. Mary Lou Singh was a California resident, JPD Public Safety Manager Erann Kalwara said in March.

Juneau residents speak out on immigration, borders A whipping wind swept through a crowd in front of the Andrew P.

Fairbanks high school changes admissions practices for access FAIRBANKS (AP) — A Fairbanks career and technical high school is changing its admissions practices in an effort to provide greater access to students. Starting next year, Hutchison High School, which uses a lottery to select students, will no longer give extra weight to students with good grades and good attendance, the Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported . Applicants also will no longer have to submit letters of recommendation. Hutchison is the only public high school in the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District that focuses
on career and technical education though the other high schools offer career and technical education classes. It also is the only public high school in the district that selects students via lottery. Principal Robyn Taylor said the application process was changed after receiving comments from parents and students. The school was never meant to cater to elite students, she said “We are a public school, operating under public school funds. We are not a private school,” Taylor said. “We really want to be more transparent and give everySee SCHOOL, page A3

Next-generation of GPS satellites are headed to space
the system. But it was developed by the U.S. military, which still designs, launches and operates the system. The Air Force controls a constellation of 31 GPS satellites from a high-security complex at Schriever Air Force Base outside Colorado Springs. Compared with their prede-
cessors, GPS III satellites will have a stronger military signal that’s harder to jam — an improvement that became more urgent after Norway accused Russia of disrupting GPS signals during a NATO military exercise this fall. GPS III also will provide a new civilian signal compatible
with other countries’ navigation satellites, such as the European Union’s Galileo system. That means civilian receivers capable of receiving the new signal will have more satellites to lock in on, improving accuracy. “If your phone is looking for satellites, the more it can see, the more it can know where it is,” said Chip Eschenfelder, a Lockheed Martin spokesman. The new satellites are expected to provide location information that’s three times more accurate than the current satellites. Current civilian GPS receivers are accurate to within 10 to 33 feet, depending on conditions, said Glen Gibbons, the founder and former editor of Inside GNSS, a website and magazine that tracks global navigation satellite systems. With the new satellites, civilian receivers could be accurate to within 3 to 10 feet under good conditions, and military receivers could be a little closer, he said.
for the United States and who are being stopped at the border and separated from their families. The rally is part of a nationwide movement called Love Knows No Borders, which invites people to make their voices heard between Dec. 10 (International Human Rights Day) and Dec. 18 (International Migrant Day). One goal of the event was to raise money for Border Angels, a nonprofit that focuses on immigration reform with a particular focus on the U.S.-Mexico border. Hatch said the rally raised more than $1,100 for the nonprofit. Guillen, who has spent time working with the organization, said Border Angels lives up to its name. The event was organized by Juneau People for Peace and Justice and featured speakers of vari-
ous backgrounds and experiences when it came to the issue of immigration. Christianne Carillo recounted her journey from the Philippines when she was 7 years old. She told the story of trying to get the rest of her family into the country and not being successful despite doing everything that was required by law. She finished her speech referring to the recent case of a Guatemalan girl dying in Border Control custody after trying to get into the U.S. illegally by crossing the border with Mexico. That girl, Carillo pointed out, was the same age as she was when she came into the U.S. Saturday’s event had a few different goals. One was to stand in solidarity with those looking to safely cross the border. Another was to inspire people to write
letters to their representatives in Congress. Catherine Hatch, one of the organizers of the rally, said via email Saturday afternoon that Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the most popular person for letterwriters because she’s proven that she listens to the feedback of her constituents. There were letterwriting gatherings at Sacred Grounds Café and at Devil’s Club Brewing Company on Saturday. Hatch said the event was a success in terms of fundraising and in simply creating a supportive and caring atmosphere. “All the speakers had such powerful messages but ultimately positive: Juneauites show up for each other,” Hatch said, “and that was true today. I want to live in America where that compassion and kindness is extended to everyone, especially at the border.”

DENVER — After months of delays, the U.S. Air Force is about to launch the first of a new generation of GPS satellites, designed to be more accurate, secure and versatile. But some of their most highly touted features will not be fully available until 2022 or later because of problems in a companion program to develop a new ground control system for the satellites, government auditors said. The satellite is scheduled to lift off Tuesday from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. It’s the first of 32 planned GPS III satellites that will replace older ones now in orbit. Lockheed Martin is building the new satellites outside Denver. GPS is best-known for its widespread civilian applications, from navigation to timestamping bank transactions. The Air Force estimates that 4 billion people worldwide use

He talked about how his family came from Tijuana to Juneau when he was a baby, and how Juneau was all he’s ever known.

going to get the assistance we need.” Dunleavy, who arrived Wednesday and was scheduled to leave Saturday morning, didn’t limit his meetings to just earthquake talk. He said he met with Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, and Alaska’s Congressional Delegation of Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan and Rep. Don Young. Mostly these were general conversations about what the
secretaries were hoping to accomplish and how Alaska would be affected, Dunleavy said. He said he spoke to Acosta about ways to reinvigorate a workforce, which is one of Dunleavy’s main goals for Alaska. He spoke with Perdue (who visited Southeast Alaska this summer) about the potential of the timber industry in Alaska. When he visited Alaska, Perdue told reporters that he’d like to see more logging in the Tongass National Forest. Perdue is a proponent of installing an Alaska-specific version of the 2001 roadless
rule, which bans logging and road building on national forest lands where roads have not been built. Dunleavy also said he spoke to officials about the future of a natural gas pipeline in the state and how feasible that might be. With the goal of putting the nation’s largest state on cabinet members’ radars, Dunleavy said he believes this week has been a success. “The Trump administration is well aware of what’s happening in Alaska,” Dunleavy said.

What Others Say
With price uncertain, oil production is key Oil prices have fallen sharply in the
last couple of months, a reminder of the global oil market’s volatility. And yet, while that is a significant cause for concern, the recent pricing of a barrel of Alaska North Slope crude is in line with what the state Department of Revenue projected in its annual spring revenue forecast. The department’s report, issued back in March, stated that North Slope crude would average $61 per barrel in fiscal 2018 and $63 in fiscal 2019. The report was issued 3 1/2 months before the end of the 2018 fiscal year. The state is now 5 1/2 months into fiscal 2019. A comparison sheet from the Department of Revenue comparing the spring forecast with the preliminary fall forecast, which was issued Monday and includes final numbers from fiscal 2018, raised the average price of oil for fiscal 2018 to $63.61 and the projected price for fiscal 2019 to $76. The comparison sheet, which looks at price and production and other aspects of the Alaska oil industry, should get a hard look from Gov. Mike Dunleavy and the legislators who will convene in Juneau in January for the opening of the new Legislature and who will be confronted, as their predecessors were for years, with the state’s budget troubles. Looking way out to fiscal 2028, the department’s comparison sheet won’t give them great comfort. It shows the average annual price of oil increasing by only $1 or $2 each year in both the spring and fall forecasts, although it does raise the annual average price by $8 or $9 per year over the spring forecast. Those amounts are in nominal dollars, meaning they aren’t adjusted for inflation. That’s minimalist optimism. Pricing, though, is just one major piece of the revenue equation. The other piece is production. And that’s where the little bit of optimism of the pricing side seems to vanish in the department’s new comparison sheet. The department projected average daily oil production for fiscal 2018 at 521,800 barrels per day in its spring forecast, but the final number came in at 518,400 barrels in the fall report. Looking at the present 2019 fiscal year, the fall forecast shows an increase of 3,200 barrels over the spring forecast, for a projected average of 529,800 barrels per day. For the following fiscal year, oil production is expected to increase again, though the fall forecast indicates it won’t be as much as first thought. Things then start to look grim for fiscal years 2021 through 2024. The fall forecast — it’s still preliminary, remember; the final comes out later this month — sharply downgraded the production estimates for those years by the following amounts over the forecast from earlier this year: 11.1 percent, 15.5 percent, 20.3 percent and 23.9 percent, respectively. Production is expected to turn around somewhat in fiscal 2025 through fiscal 2028, but both of this year’s forecasts still expect production to be below current levels by 2028, at slightly under an average of 500,000 barrels per day. So what does this mean for the state’s revenue, especially since about 80 percent of the state’s unrestricted general fund revenue comes from petroleum products and is expected to continue to do so? (That percentage, by the way, will remain about the same when excluding the new annual transfer of permanent fund earnings into the unrestricted general funds box.) It means that Gov. Dunleavy and legislators of both parties must make increasing oil production a priority and that they should resist any urge to change Alaska’s oil and gas tax structure in a desperate attempt to get more money from the industry. The state has changed the system enough times already. Oil executives and industry analysts often say the industry needs stability in a tax system in order to help validate long-term development plans. Petroleum economist Michael Lynch made that point quite clear at the end of his August column in Forbes magazine in which he discussed Alaska’s oil patch: “The biggest fear, as always, is that politicians will kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.”
If there’s no collusion, there’s always Stormy Daniels
The most legally fraught part of the Russia probe now revolves around payments to an American porn star. As of yet, instead of a dastardly scheme to participate with the Russians in the hacking of Democratic emails to subvert the election, prosecutors have uncovered a dastardly scheme to try to keep from the voters — as if they weren’t aware — that Trump is a womanizer. The advantage of the story of the hush payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal is that they actually happened, and always passed the plausibility test. To credit the payoffs, it didn’t require believing in a well-coordinated scheme between a foreign intelligence service and the most shambolic presidential campaign of the modern era. All it took was imagining Donald Trump, Michael Cohen and a checkbook. Everyone should agree that the payments were sleazy. But that’s not the live issue. Because Democrats want to see Trump impeached or even jailed, the question is whether he can be successfully prosecuted for the payments after leaving office. The law, and common sense, suggests the answer is “no.” The idea that Trump is going to lose reelection in November 2020, then, having suffered the humiliation of getting booted by the voters, get indicted and stand trial on a dubious campaign-finance violation dating from 2016 is fantastical. This would be a banana-republic move, and is more a Democratic revenge fantasy — or should be — than a realistic scenario.
There are major legal obstacles to Trump’s prosecution. One is whether he had the requisite intent of violating the law, and here the standard is very high. The other is even Rich Lowry more fundamental. Bradley Smith, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission, argues persuasively that the payments don’t constitute campaign contributions. Federal law defines a contribution as “anything of value made by any person for the purpose of influencing any election for Federal office.” That seems straightforward enough, but Smith points out that another part of the law defines what is an expenditure for personal use, namely any “expense of a person that would exist irrespective of the candidate’s election campaign.” “Irrespective of the campaign” is the key phrase. It is meant to keep campaign monies from being used for things that might influence a campaign, but that a candidate would spend on anyway — clothing and mortgages are cited as examples. Payments to mistresses aren’t listed, but the rules weren’t written with Trump in mind. He didn’t undertake his flings with Daniels and McDougal as part of his campaign, and it’s easy to imagine him paying them off even if he wasn’t running. He is a past master at nondisclosure agreements, after all. Michael Cohen made a note-
worthy point in his sentencing memo. He said he acted to squelch stories that would “adversely affect the Campaign and cause personal embarrassment to Client-1 and his family.” The latter would have been a strong incentive to buy off Daniels and McDougal, regardless. Indeed, Bradley Smith makes a telling point: If Trump had paid the women with campaign funds, his critics would certainly be screaming that he’d improperly diverted campaign resources for personal use. There are key differences, but the case against Trump is a close cousin of the failed campaign-finance prosecution against John Edwards for payments to his mistress. In that case, two former FEC chairmen said they would have advised Edwards that the payments weren’t campaign expenditures. The ethics outfit CREW filed a brief opposing the prosecution, noting some of the same absurdities that the case against Trump raises. If any payments to maintain a candidate’s image are legitimate campaign expenditures, can a candidate who wants to present himself as a family man pay for child care with campaign funds? With Trump, in the absence of evidence of something like Russian collusion, his opponents will work with whatever material they have, no matter how tawdry or removed from the alleged offense that got the investigative ball rolling.

White House digs in on border wall demand, risking shutdown By HOPE YEN Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The White House on Sunday pushed the federal government closer to the brink of a partial shutdown later this week, digging in on its demand for $5 billion to build a border wall as congressional Democrats stood firm against it. “We’re going to do whatever is necessary to build the border wall to stop this ongoing crisis of illegal immigration,” said White House senior adviser Stephen Miller. Asked if that meant having a government shutdown, he said: “If it comes to it, absolutely.” Trump said last week he would be “proud” to have a shutdown to get Congress to approve a $5 billion down payment to fulfill his campaign promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. But the president doesn’t have the votes from the Republican-controlled Congress to support funding for the wall at that level. Democratic congressional leaders, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, have proposed no more than $1.6 billion, as outlined in a bipartisan Senate bill. The — Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Dec. 8 money would not go for the wall but for
fencing upgrades and other border security. Democrats also offered to simply keep funding at its current level, $1.3 billion. Showing no signs of budging, Schumer said Sunday that it was up to Trump to decide whether parts of the federal government shut down at midnight Friday over his border wall, sending thousands of federal employees home without pay during the holidays. About one-quarter of the government would be affected, including the departments of Homeland Security, Transportation, Agriculture, State and Justice, as well as national parks. “He is not going to get the wall in any form,” Schumer said. Both parties in Congress have suggested that Trump would likely need to make the next move to resolve the impasse. The House is taking an extended weekend break, returning Wednesday night. The Senate returns Monday after a three-day absence. Trump had neither accepted nor rejected the Democrats’ proposal as of Friday, according to the Democrats, telling them he would take a look. Trump will need Democratic votes either way, now or in the new year, for passage.
Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the No. 3 Republican in the Senate, said Republicans remain hopeful they can come up with a proposal that can be acceptable to Trump and pass both chambers. He suggested that could take the form of a stopgap bill that extends funding until January, or a longerterm bill that includes money for border security. “There are a lot of things you need to do with border security,” he said. “One is a physical barrier but also the technology, the manpower, the enforcement, all of those things, and our current laws are in some ways an incentive for people to come to this country illegally, and they go through great risk and possibly great harm.” Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, urged senators to revisit a bill she helped push earlier this year that would provide $2.5 billion for border security, including physical barriers as well as technology and border patrol agents. “There’s absolutely no excuse to shut down government on this issue or any other issue,” she said. Schumer declined to say whether Democrats would be willing to consider proposals other than the two options that he and Pelosi offered.

Each way serves a different purpose. If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: www.parchment.com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace… rather than the US mail… to get to its destination, which is much faster! ALL transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way! FINAL TRANSCRIPTS! A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades… If you order your transcript when we are IN second semester, you will need to make sure you choose “next grading period” when you go on to Parchment… that way your transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.

Spring semester registration underway A palpable sense of relief washed over the campus as the fall semester wrapped up last week with final exams and projects. As students move into the winter break, they can enjoy some well-deserved time off, but it is important they remember to register for spring semester before key courses that they need to finish up a degree or certificate fill and close. All KPC courses (online and face-to-face) can be viewed on the spring 2019 Searchable Schedule listed under Academics on the KPC homepage. Registration for the upcoming spring semester is available by clicking on UAOnline. Spring semester classes begin on Monday, Jan. 14, 2019.
Fall semester Certified Nursing Assistants mark achievement Both KPC campuses offer robust and dedicated training, delivered in a six-credit course during a single semester, for students who want to become certified nursing assistants. Although an entry-level position, becoming a CNA is a great way to become highly employable in a relatively short time period. It also can be a stepping stone for someone who decides to pursue nursing or other medical disciplines.
Audrey Standerfer, R.N., is the instructor for CNA courses at the Kenai River Campus. She also serves as the Student Clinic coordinator. Standerfer’s students say that “she goes over and above while teaching to help students achieve their goals.” Her classes are known to foster camaraderie and she always tries to make learning fun. “I am sad that the semester is ending. She is my favorite teacher,” said Trish Tuluk. In order to properly honor her eight successful students, she hosted a traditional nursing pinning ceremony for her class last week. In a private ceremony, with friends and family, Standerfer “pinned” her students as an official rite of passage into the field. Students and families provided food for a celebratory dinner. Twilla Daniel, Central Peninsula Hospital’s human resources recruiter, along with a staff member, also attended to discuss employment opportunities for the new CNAs. The newest class of KPC CNAs include Sonya Astad, Leah Barnes, Jennilee Beilen, Lean Clark, Analyn Elliot, Grace Graham, Larissa Mika, and Trish Tuluk. Each of the class received a frameable certificate along with the pin that they will proudly wear on their scrubs. Why a pinning ceremony? According to Rasmussen College’s nursing blog, it is a tra-
dition based deep in history and it can be traced back to the Crusades of the 12th century when monks cared for suffering crusaders. When the monks decided to continue helping sick soldiers, the Knights Order held a ceremony where each monk was given a Maltese Cross they wore on their arm. The tradition continued with Florence Nightingale in the 1860s and by 1916, it became standard in the U.S. KPC’s nursing classes also have a pinning ceremony in May prior to graduating with their nursing degrees.
SAFESITTER Safe Sitter® Expanded is a 2-day class designed to prepare students in grades 6-8 to be safe when they’re home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. The Instructor-led class is filled with fun games and role-playing exercises. Students even get to use manikins to practice rescue skills like choking rescue and CPR!

Yasuko Lehtinen, longtime KRC Japanese language instructor, and her current fall semester class has taken on a community service project that will result in the donation of 1,000 origami cranes to Soldotna’s Heritage Place Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Traditionally, it was believed that if one folded 1,000 cranes, one’s wish would come true. It has also become a symbol of hope and healing during challenging times. Lehtinen tries to do this class project every two years. In recent years, Lehtinen classes have also done the project for the Kenai Senior Center.

Bears beat Packers, clinch division title By The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Mitchell Trubisky threw for two touchdowns, Eddie Jackson ended Aaron Rodgers’ NFL-record streak without an interception and the Chicago Bears clinched the NFC North with a 24-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The Bears (10-4) secured their first playoff appearance since the 2010 team won the division, and clinching with a rare victory over their heated rivals made it all the more sweet. The loss, coupled with Minnesota’s 41-17 victory over Miami, keeps the Packers out of the postseason for the second year in a row. Chicago had dropped nine of 10 against Green Bay (5-81). But the Bears secured their first trip to the playoffs in eight years with their seventh win in eight games. For a team that came into the season with four straight last-place finishes, it’s quite a turnaround. But with the hiring of coach Matt Nagy and trade for Khalil Mack in a busy offseason, the Bears made a huge jump. Trubisky gave them a 21-14 lead early in the fourth quarter with a 13-yard pass to Trey Burton in the left side of the end zone. After stopping the Packers, Tarik Cohen returned a punt 44 yards to the 15. But
he stepped out of bounds a yard short on a third-and-5 at the 10 when he easily could have gotten the first down. That forced the Bears to settle for a field goal by Cody Parkey, making it 24-14. The Packers then drove to the 9, but on third down, Jackson picked off Rodgers, ending his streak at 402 passes. STEELERS 17, PATRIOTS 10 PITTSBURGH — Rookie running back Jaylen Samuels, making his second start in place of injured James Conner, ran for a careerhigh 142 yards and made a critical third-down reception in the fourth quarter. Pittsburgh snapped a threegame losing streak as Ben Roethlisberger threw for 235 yards with two first-half touchdowns and two interceptions. The Steelers (8-5-1) remained in front of Baltimore in the AFC North with two weeks to go in the season. Chris Boswell, who has struggled so badly this season the team held open tryouts during the week, atoned for a 32-yard miss in the third quarter by drilling a 48-yarder with 2:30 remaining. Pittsburgh’s defense, which let fourth-quarter leads slip away each of the last two games, made it stand. The Patriots (9-5) missed a chance to clinch their 10th straight AFC East title when Tom Brady’s pass into the end zone for Julian Edelman was knocked down by Pittsburgh’s Morgan Burnett.
Brady finished 25 of 36 for 279 yards with a touchdown and an interception while losing to the Steelers for the first time since 2011 and just the third time in 14 career meetings. The uncharacteristically sloppy Patriots were flagged 14 times for 106 yards.
EAGLES 30, RAMS 23 LOS ANGELES — Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles hope they’re about to make another lateseason run that begins with another big road win over the Rams. Foles took over for Carson Wentz and passed for 270 yards, and Wendell Smallwood rushed for two touchdowns in the Eagles’ victory over Los Angeles. Rookie Josh Adams also rushed for a score as the Eagles (7-7) kept their playoff hopes alive with a gritty victory over the Rams (113), who lost consecutive regularseason games for the first time in coach Sean McVay’s tenure. The Eagles scored 17 consecutive points in the third quarter and then survived the Rams’ late rally. They got help from Los Angeles returner JoJo Natson, who fumbled a punt return that D.J. Alexander recovered with 2:51 to play. After Philadelphia’s Jake Elliott missed a field goal with 1:08 left, Jared Goff got the Rams to the Philadelphia 18 with 4 seconds to play — but he couldn’t connect with Josh Reynolds on a pass to the goal line as time expired.

Mack rushed for a career-high 139 yards and two scores and the Colts shut out one of the league’s hottest offenses. The Colts (8-6) stayed in the AFC playoff hunt with their seventh win in eight games and their first shutout since a 27-0 victory over Cincinnati on Oct. 19, 2014. Dallas (8-6) failed to clinch the NFC East as its five-game winning streak ended. COLTS 23, COWBOYS 0 Mack starred in Sunday’s big INDIANAPOLIS — Marlon show. He set the tone by running
through a tackle for a 19-yard gain on his first carry, wound up carrying 22 times and matching a career high with the two scoring runs — all against the league’s No. 3 rushing defense. It marked the first time since Week 9 that Dallas allowed a team to top the 100-yard mark, and the Cowboys were shut out for the first time in more than 15 years. New England was the previous team to achieve the feat with a 12-0 victory on Nov. 16, 2003.
Mack even outperformed Ezekiel Elliott, who came into the weekend as the NFL’s leading rusher. Elliott had 18 carries for 87 yards and caught seven passes for 41 yards.
49ERS 26, SEAHAWKS 23 SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Robbie Gould kicked a 36-yard field goal with 3:06 left in overtime and the 49ers snapped a 10-game losing streak against Seattle. See NFL, page A7

Butler scored 19 points after missing two games — both losses — with a strained groin. WIZARDS 128, LAKERS 110

WASHINGTON — Amid all of his team’s losses and infighting and roster flux, John Wall showed just how well he’s capable of playing, producing 40 points and 14 assists to lead Washington past a sluggish LeBron James and Los Angeles. A day after he and Lonzo Ball each registered a triple-double in a win at Charlotte, James was limited to a season-low 13 points, along with six rebounds and three assists, while making just five of 16 shots. The four-time NBA MVP sat out the fourth quarter.

Trailing 70-57 in the third quarter, the Nuggets went on a 23-2 run to send them to their 10th win in 12 games and retain a slim lead over Golden State in the Western Conference. This marks the latest the Nuggets (20-9) have been in first place in the West since Dec. 18, 1984, according to information by Elias Sports Bureau.
NEW ORLEANS — Josh Richardson scored 22 points, Dwyane Wade added 19 in what was likely his final game in New Orleans, and Miami beat the Pelicans. Hassan Whiteside had 17 points and 12 rebounds in his matchup with Anthony Davis.

PACERS 110, KNICKS 99 INDIANAPOLIS — Victor Oladipo scored 26 points, Myles Turner had 24 and Indiana beat New York for its seventh straight victory. Oladipo added eight rebounds and seven assists, while Turner finished with six rebounds and two blocks. He also halted the Knicks’ momentum on a fast break in the fourth quarter, sprinting across the court to disrupt Emmanuel Mudiay’s layup attempt that would have cut the Pacers’ lead to four points late in the game.
NETS 144, HAWKS 127 NEW YORK — D’Angelo Russell scored 32 points, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 18 and Brooklyn beat Atlanta for its fifth straight victory. Joe Harris had 16 points and Spencer Dinwiddie added 15. The Nets have won five straight for the first time since March 25-April 2, 2015.
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Nick Ward scored 22 of his 28 points in a nearly perfect first half to help No. 9 Michigan State rout Green Bay 104-83 on Sunday night. Ward made all nine of his field goal attempts in the first half, although he did miss a free throw. The Spartans (9-2) made their last seven shots of the half to take a 64-35 lead. NO. 24 HOUSTON 68, SAINT LOUIS 64 HOUSTON — Corey Davis Jr. hit the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 29 seconds left and had 17 points in Houston’s comeback victory over Saint Louis. Davis was 3 of 5 from 3-point range and hit all six of his free throws. Armoni Brooks had 13 points and eight rebounds, and Galen Robinson Jr. added 13 for Houston (10-0) in its 23rd straight at home.
Loves set records in capturing tourney record in a scramble format. They won by three shots at 26-under 118, another record in the scramble format. The 36-hole event is for players who have won a major or The Players Championship, and their partner cannot hold a PGA Tour-sanctioned card. Dru Love has played 17 times in the last two years on the PGA Tour, European Tour and Web.com Tour, but he has yet to earn a card and missed out in the qualifying tournament this year.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Davis Love III and his son Dru played so well Sunday that they set two scoring records, rallied from a three-shot deficit to win the PNC Father-Son Challenge and then wondered if they would get to play again. Team Love shot 27 on the front nine at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club to get in the mix, took the lead with a birdie at No. 11 and finished off their record round with four more birdies an eagle for a 16-under 56, breaking by one the 18-hole

Nick Mullens threw for 275 yards and a touchdown to help the 49ers (4-10) win consecutive games for the first time this season. Richie James Jr. returned a kick 97 yards for a touchdown and Gould kicked four field goals to give San Francisco its first win in the rivalry since 2013, when Jim Harbaugh was still coach. The Seahawks (8-6) had their four-game winning streak snapped and missed a chance to clinch a playoff berth. Russell Wilson threw for 237 yards with two TD passes to Doug Baldwin and Chris Carson ran for 119 yards and a score for Seattle. But Wilson was unable to generate any points on his final three drives.

Dalvin
Cook had a career-high 136 yards and two touchdowns on a seasonhigh 19 carries as the Vikings recommitted themselves to running the ball. Latavius Murray added 68 rushing yards and a score on 15 of the team’s season-high 40 attempts. The Vikings (7-6-1) converted each of their first three drives under interim offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski into touchdowns before turning the game over to the defense. Anthony Barr and Danielle Hunter each had two of the nine sacks of Ryan Tannehill, totaling 71 lost yards for the Dolphins (77). Miami came crashing down from the euphoria of defeating New England with that doublelateral 69-yard score on the final play last week. Minkah Fitzpatrick returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter and Kalen Ballage scored on a 75-yard run on the first snap of the second half to bring the Dolphins within 21-17. But on their next five pos-
sessions they netted a staggering minus-27 yards on 16 plays. Though Chicago won the NFC North by beating Green Bay, the Vikings moved a critical step closer to returning to the postseason. With enough help, they could clinch the second wild-card spot next week.
TITANS 17, GIANTS 0
The defense limited New York to 260 yards, had three sacks, a third-quarter interception that stopped a New York drive inside the red zone with the score 7-0, and a forced fumble that set up Henry’s second TD. The shutout was the Titans’ first since a 31-0 win over the Cowboys on Christmas Day in 2000. It needed a late stand to make it happen. It was the first time New York was blanked since Arizona posted a 23-0 win last Dec. 24. Eli Manning finished 21 of 44 for 229 yards as New York lost for only the second time in six games since the bye week. Marcus Mariota hit 13 of 20 passes for 88 yards as the Titans ground it out against New York, rushing 42 times for 216 yards.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Bruising halfback Derrick Henry had his second straight big game with a career-high 33 carries for 170 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Henry, who had a franchiserecord 238 yards and four touchdowns in a win over Jacksonville on Dec. 6, scored on 1-yard runs in the first and third quarters. That was all the Titans’ defense RAVENS 20, needed on a wet and rainy day at BUCCANEERS 12 MetLife Stadium as it shut down BALTIMORE — Rookie quarSaquon Barkley (31 yards on 14 carries) in helping Tennessee win terback Lamar Jackson picked its third straight game, matching apart the Tampa Bay defense on a soggy field, running for 95 yards its season high.

and throwing for 131. Anointed the starter over veteran Joe Flacco earlier in the week, Jackson justified the decision with a riveting performance. Slipping between and sliding around potential tacklers, the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner operated the run-pass option in much the same fashion as during his glory days at Louisville. Jackson directed two drives that lasted more than seven minutes, carried 18 times and completed 14 of 23 passes, one of them for a touchdown. Baltimore (8-6) is 4-1 since Jackson took over for the injured Flacco, the only loss in overtime at Kansas City. Jackson has rushed for 427 yards in those five games. Tampa Bay (5-9) simply couldn’t find a way to stop Jackson and the running game, which amassed 242 yards on 49 attempts. Baltimore is the first team since the 1976 Steelers to rush for at least 190 yards in five straight games, according to the Ravens. Baltimore’s second-ranked defense did its part, holding the Buccaneers to one touchdown and 241 yards.
REDSKINS 16, JAGUARS 13 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Josh Johnson’s first NFL start in more than seven years ended with a victory, snapping the Redskins’ four-game losing streak and keeping them on the fringe of the NFC playoff picture. Johnson and Adrian Peterson drove the Redskins (7-7) into field-goal range in the closing minutes, and Dustin Hopkins made a 36-yarder on the final play to win it. Washington had lost every game since quarterback Alex Smith sustained a season-ending leg injury. The Jaguars (4-11) have dropped nine of 10, raising more questions about the future of coach Doug Marrone, decision-maker Tom Coughlin and general manager Dave Caldwell. Jacksonville managed 192 yards, another anemic performance under Marrone. Washington was better, especially late. Johnson, the team’s fourth starting quarterback in as many weeks, threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Sprinkle with 5:47 remaining that tied it. He completed 16 of 25 passes for 151 yards and the score. He also ran for 49 yards.
tion for an early score as the Falcons snapped a five-game losing streak. The Falcons (5-9) forced three turnovers and sacked Arizona’s Josh Rosen seven times, a singlegame season high for both teams. Arizona (3-11) has dropped two straight and five of six under firstyear coach Steve Wilks. Julio Jones caught six passes for 82 yards, all in the first half. His 22-yard score in the closing seconds before intermission put the Falcons up 26-7. Jones beat Patrick Peterson’s bump-and-run coverage down the left sideline, turning the cornerback around and twisting around him to make a diving catch. Matt Ryan ran for a 1-yard score early the second quarter and finished with 231 yards passing. Matt Bryant added two short field goals and Tevin Coleman had a 43yard TD run in the third quarter as Atlanta won for the first time since Week 9 at Washington. Grady Jarrett had two of the Falcons’ season-high seven sacks, and Arizona’s run defenses allowed 215 yards to the NFL’s worst rushing attack.
BENGALS 30, RAIDERS 16 CINCINNATI — Joe Mixon had another big game, rushing for 129 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and the Bengals ended one of their longest losing streaks under coach Marvin Lewis. The Bengals (6-8) had dropped five straight — their third-worst slump during Lewis’ 16 seasons — before finding a team struggling as much as them. Mixon’s 15-yard touchdown with 4:04 left clinched the Bengals’ first win since October and capped his second straight 100-yard game. Cincinnati wrapped up its home season before another sparse crowd, with 44,568 tickets distributed. The Bengals had the secondsmallest season attendance in Paul Brown Stadium’s 19 seasons as fans showed frustration with another disappointing season under Lewis. The Raiders (3-11) are already in next-year mode. They fired general manager Reggie McKenzie on Monday and had little on the line against the Bengals.
BILLS 14, LIONS 13
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Josh Allen threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Robert Foster early in the fourth quarter to rally Buffalo and eliminate the Lions from playoff contention. Allen also scored on a 3-yard run and finished 13 of 26 for 204 FALCONS 40, yards and no turnovers. Foster had CARDINALS 14 four catches for 108 yards to top ATLANTA — Julio Jones made 100 for the third time in five games an acrobatic touchdown catch and since being promoted from the Deion Jones returned an intercep- practice squad.
Today in History Today is Monday, Dec. 17, the 351st day of 2018. There are 14 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, Ohio, conducted the first successful manned powered-airplane flights near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, using their experimental craft, the Wright Flyer. On this date: In 1777, France recognized American independence. In 1865, Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, known as the “Unfinished” because only two movements had been completed, was first performed publicly in Vienna 37 years after the composer’s death. In 1944, the U.S. War Department announced it was ending its policy of excluding people of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast. In 1957, the United States successfully test-fired the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time. In 1967, Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt, 59, disappeared while swimming in the ocean off Cheviot Beach in Victoria state; despite an extensive search, his body was never found (Holt was succeeded as premier by John McEwen). In 1969, the U.S. Air Force closed its Project “Blue Book” by concluding there was no evidence of extraterrestrial spaceships behind thousands of UFO sightings. An estimated 50 million TV viewers watched singer Tiny Tim marry his fiancee, Miss Vicky, on NBC’s “Tonight Show.” In 1975, Lynette Fromme was sentenced in Sacramento, Calif. to life in prison for her attempt on the life of President Gerald R. Ford. (She was paroled in Aug. 2009.) In 1979, Arthur McDuffie, a black insurance executive, was fatally injured after leading police on a chase with his motorcycle in Miami. (Four white police officers accused of beating McDuffie were later acquitted, sparking riots.) In 1992, President George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney (muhl-ROO’-nee) and Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari (sahLEE’-nuhs deh gohr-TAHR’-ee) signed the North American Free Trade Agreement in separate ceremonies. (After approval by the legislative bodies of the leaders’ respective countries, the treaty came into force on Jan. 1, 1994.) In 1996, Peruvian guerrillas took hundreds of people hostage at the Japanese embassy in Lima (all but 72 of the hostages were later released by the rebels; the siege ended April 22, 1997, with a commando raid that resulted in the deaths of all the rebels, two commandos and one hostage). Kofi Annan of Ghana was appointed United Nations secretary-general. In 2000, President-elect George W. Bush named Stanford professor Condoleezza Rice his national security adviser and Alberto Gonzales to the White House counsel’s job, the same day he was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year.’ In 2011, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il died after more than a decade of iron rule; he was 69, according to official records, but some reports indicated he was 70. Ten years ago: President-elect Barack Obama named former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack as agriculture secretary and Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado to head the Interior Department. OPEC agreed to slash 2.2 million barrels from daily production -- its single largest cut ever. Pro Football Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh died in Rotan, Texas at age 94. Five years ago: Germany’s Parliament elected Chancellor Angela Merkel (AHN’-geh-lah MEHR’-kuhl) to a third term as the leader of Europe’s biggest economic power, nearly three months after an awkward election result forced her to put together a new governing coalition. A suicidal gunman opened fire at a Reno, Nevada, hospital campus, killing one person and critically wounding two others before ending his own life. One year ago: Facing an investigation of allegations of sexual misconduct and using racist language, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson announced that he would sell the NFL team after the season. “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” took in $220 million in its debut weekend in North America, good for the second-best opening ever and behind only its predecessor, “The Force Awakens.” French sailor Francois Gabart broke the record for sailing around the world alone, circumnavigating the planet in just 42 days and 16 hours. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Armin Mueller-Stahl is 88. Pope Francis is 82. Singer-actor Tommy Steele is 82. Rock singer-musician Art Neville is 81. Actor Bernard Hill is 74. Actor Ernie Hudson is 73. Political commentator Chris Matthews is 73. Comedian-actor Eugene Levy is 72. Actress Marilyn Hassett is 71. Actor Wes Studi is 71. Pop musician Jim Bonfanti (The Raspberries) is 70.

Thought for Today: “The man who has done his level best, and who is conscious that he has done his best, is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure.” -- B.C. Forbes, Scottish journalist (1880-1954).

Affair with a married man earns sister’s disapproval ting from her honey may be enough for her, and she may regard their stolen moments as exciting. If she were hoping for more than the status quo, I would say she’s wasting her time. But she seems to know the score. DEAR ABBY: I know three people who have cancer. One is terminal, one is probably terminal and the other is Abigail Van Buren possibly terminal. The second and third individuals I’ve known for a long time. The terminal person, however, is a social acquaintance -- someone I met through a close friend. Over the last two years we have socialized a halfdozen times, but we’ve never had an extended conversation, and I don’t especially like her. As her condition has worsened, she has withdrawn from most socializing. I receive updates from my friend, who takes her to appointments, shopping, etc. when she can’t drive herself or when she feels the woman needs company. Officially, I don’t know anything. But I was told her oncologist has informed her she’s got six months.
My question is: Should I contact her? I’ll feel like an idiot and like I’m invading her privacy if I do, yet somehow guilty if I don’t. The only thing I would say to her is that I’m sorry this has happened to her. My gut tells me I should keep quiet, but my guilt is getting in the way. -- FRIEND OF A FRIEND IN NEW YORK DEAR FRIEND: I assume you know as much about this woman as you do because your good friend is confiding in you. If you don’t know anything “officially,” I assume your friend was sworn to secrecy and chose to tell you because she receives emotional support from you. I see nothing to be gained by inserting yourself at this point, and you should not feel guilty for keeping your distance. Listen to your gut.

Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Dec. 17, 2018: This year you feel fortunate to be as creative as you are. You sometimes feel dragged down by controlling people or situations, but you will clear the air quickly. If you are single, you might meet someone quite special to your life’s history. You will sense that this person is different from those whom you have dated in the past. If you are attached, the two of you could act like new lovers, full of passion and just wanting to be alone. Be careful not to isolate yourselves totally. ARIES loves to be your cheerleader 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 couldn’t feel better, as far as your energy level goes. You will encounter several obstacles, which could include a controlling person. You can butt heads, or you can bypass this issue and this person. Use your communication skills. Tonight: Busy with last-minute details. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Move forward toward an important goal. You might be planning a trip or considering taking a workshop or seminar. A loved one or some other key person in your life poses an obstacle. Perhaps this person feels threatened by your willingness to grow. Tonight: Take some alone time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH A meeting helps you zero in on what you want. You feel much more in control and knowledgeable about what you need to do. You could feel as though you need to make a change that is long overdue. You might want to

hold off until after the holidays. Tonight: With friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH With the closeness of the holidays, you could feel out of whack. You want to make a major statement to a loved one. Hold off for now and give yourself more time to think about it. A loved one keeps pressuring you. Say “no,” and distance yourself. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Reach out to someone at a distance. You easily could feel overwhelmed and as if you are asking for too much. Allow your sense of humor to emerge. Arrange your schedule so that you can get enough done to feel relaxed. Tonight: Take a brisk walk to help eliminate stress. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You need to relate on a one-on-one level with others in order to accomplish what you want. A partner might be particularly important in helping you make a decision about a major purchase. Stay light and easy, and avoid a confrontation at this particular time. Tonight: Share exciting news. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Others seem to be calling the shots right now. You might want to let someone know, in your typical Libra style, that you’ve had enough. The meaning of your words will dawn on this person later. Go along, for the moment; you will reap the benefits soon enough. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could be highly energized, yet others might be slowing you down, as they are dragging their heels. Relax and try not to reorganize everyone’s

plans. The pressure of the holidays might be slowing people down. Make a point of visiting with an older friend. Tonight: Out late. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Someone might think you are in a big hurry today. You jump quickly from one situation to another, fully comprehending what is needed and fulfilling that need. You might feel as if a financial limitation is preventing you from doing what you want. Tonight: Have a great time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Without intending to, you hit obstacles today. You exude selfconfidence and experience, but that doesn’t make you an expert. Let go of the need to be in control, and let someone else take the lead. This person needs to learn, too, what works and what doesn’t. Tonight: Head home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You could be tired of pushing so hard to get holiday errands done. At this time of year, you often connect with people you rarely see and people you must meet up with but don’t necessarily like. You know how not to get caught up in others’ stuff. Tonight: Hang out with friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Use caution with spending while shopping. You could go overboard, especially if you forgot to buy a gift for someone. Keep perspective in your choices. Be smart, and get some last-minute gifts in case you forgot someone. Tonight: Start wrapping up holiday details.

Less than our best for the holidays Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND ON is about holiday stress. -- Heloise “Dear Heloise: I love the Christmas and New Year’s Eve holidays! However, it can bring out the worst in a person with so much to do, company coming, financial budgets strained and, as always, what to get everyone. I work in a major department store and yesterday saw a woman reprimand her son because he wasn’t moving fast enough. I’ve seen couples fighting in public, and some very nasty customers who seem to think it’s my job to select the gifts they’ll hand out to others. Or those who snap at a salesclerk because the size 10 dress doesn’t fit anymore. It’s not the salesclerk’s job to select the gifts you give, nor is it that person’s fault if you can’t squeeze into that size 10 dress. “If the holidays are stressing people out, just take a moment to remember why we celebrate these holidays. It doesn’t matter if the house is perfectly decorated or what size you wear, and you really don’t need to give anyone a gift. It’s your holiday, too, so relax and enjoy it.” -- A Reader, via email SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O.

DEAR ABBY: My sister has been having an affair with a married man. When I asked if he was going to leave his wife, she said no, and it was fine with her. She claims his wife is fat and that they have a son with severe disabilities, and she (my sister) wouldn’t want the responsibility of that, even though I’m sure the boy would stay with his mother. She refers to him as her “honey,” and he buys her things. (She has always been materialistic.) She stays in contact with him constantly on her iPad and says how much he loves her. I would want to be open and have everyone get to know about my honey instead of sneaking around. When I say I don’t believe he loves her, she gets mad and accuses me of being jealous. I also told her that if I loved someone, I’d want to be with him and not communicate via email. Gifts wouldn’t make up for the person not being with me, especially if I claimed to love him. I was in a relationship with a married man once, but I wasn’t happy about it and ended it. Am I off base because I feel the way I do? -- SNEAKING AROUND IN MAINE DEAR SNEAKING: You’re not off base. But you’re also not your sister. The two of you appear to have very different values. While you want a full relationship, the “crumbs” and goodies she’s get-
