In the news Anchorage man charged with assault in shooting of woman ANCHORAGE — Anchorage police have arrested a 33-year-old man suspected of shooting a woman at an east-side home. Tristan Grant is charged with felony assault, weapons misconduct and violation of conditions of release in the shooting Wednesday. Police say the woman was Grant's girlfriend. Police say she suffered nonlife-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital. Police at 3:10 a.m. Wednesday took a call of a shooting in the 200 block of east 12th Avenue. The woman had gunshot wounds to her lower body. Detectives determined Grant had fired the shots and fled. After obtaining a warrant, they found Grant on Wednesday afternoon on Karluk Street less than a mile east of the shooting scene. Online court documents do not list his attorney. He was scheduled for arraignment Thursday.

FY2018 borough deficit nearly $4 million less than estimate By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
The borough had nearly $4 million less in deficit spending than projected, according to Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce, who was speaking at a Dec. 5 Joint Chamber Luncheon at the Kenai Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center. At the beginning of fiscal year 2018, which goes from June of 2017 to June 30, 2018, the borough estimated they would spend $4,152,291 more than they earned. Pierce said updated reports from fiscal year 2018 show the borough only spent $434,028 during that year. The borough managed to spend less from a combina-

tion of federal money, state “There were a lot of unanmoney and budget tightening ticipated gifts,” Pierce said at on the local level. the chamber luncheon. “We
can’t take credit for all of it.” The largest reduction of the deficit came in the form of $3.1 million in federal PILT money, or payments in lieu of taxes. PILT money is what the federal government pays as their contribution to area federal lands. “It’s essentially a property tax,” Pierce said Tuesday. An additional $1.2 million was saved through expenditure tightening and project fund rollovers. Pierce said the borough put a hold on everything and looked at every expense to help cut back costs. He said some of those savings came after borough employees retired, and their positions did not get replaced. See SPEND, page A3
Southwest Alaska man charged with using ulu in stabbing NUNAPITCHUK — A southwest Alaska village man suspected of stabbing another person with an ulu has been charged with felony assault. Alaska State Troopers say 21-year-old Dale Sallison of Nunapitchuk stabbed one family member, choked another and assaulted a third. He’s charged with four counts of assault and criminal mischief and is being held without bail. An ulu is a knife with a curved blade that’s traditionally used for cutting and scraping fish or game animals. Troopers say Sallison used the ulu to stab a family member in the shoulder. Troopers say alcohol was a factor in the case. Online court records do not list Sallison’s attorney. Nunapitchuk is a village of 620 people about 22 miles northwest of Bethel. — Associated Press

Dunleavy meets with Trump ALEX MCCUMBERS For the Juneau Empire
Not even two weeks into his time as governor, Gov. Mike Dunleavy was representing the state on a national stage Thursday.
Along with 12 other newly elected state and territorial governors, Dunleavy sat down with President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday morning. Dunleavy talked to Trump about a “wide range” of Alaskarelated issues, according to a
press release from the Dunleavy administration. Dunleavy referred to Trump as a “strong partner” who has a solid knowledge of Alaska’s value to the nation. “The President understands that Alaska is America’s natural
Petroleum reserve lease sale draws modest interest ANCHORAGE (AP) — A federal sale of oil leases in the National Petroleum ReserveAlaska has again drawn a modest response. The Bureau of Land Management on Wednesday received 16 bids on 16 tracts covering 272 square miles, the Alaska Journal of Commerce reported . The BLM had offered 254 tracts on more than 4,375 square miles. Federal officials said the modest bidding could be attributed to the lack of access to the most prospective areas. BLM received seven bids in a 2017 lease sale.
Environmental groups oppose expanded drilling in the reserve west of Prudhoe Bay. They say oil development will imperil caribou herds, polar bears and ecologically significant wetlands used for breeding by migratory waterfowl from around the world. The bids ranged from $57,000 to $216,000 per lease and took in $1.13 million. Half will go to the state of Alaska through revenue sharing. Most leases sold are near areas that ConocoPhillips is exploring and developing. Assistant Interior Secretary Joe Balash in a call with reporters said the 2018 results
were encouraging. The lack of bidding, he said, compared with more active bidding on nearby state lands, underscores the need to review the land-use plan of the reserve. The petroleum reserve was created in 1923 by President Warren Harding as the Naval Petroleum Reserve and set aside as an emergency oil supply for the Navy. It covers 35,625 square miles, about the size of Indiana. Congress in 1976 renamed the reserve and transferred administration to the Interior Department. Former Interior Secretary See LEASE, page A2

Soldotna to vote on bond proposal for field house By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion
Soldotna will hold a special election on March 9, 2019, to ask the voters if the city should borrow $10 million in the form of a bond and increase the sales tax by a half percent to build a field house. At their meeting Wednesday night, the Soldotna City Council passed a collection of ordinances and resolutions to approve the March 2019 special election where Soldotna residents will decide if the city should borrow $10 million for the field house. The total cost of the project is estimated at $11.8 million dollars. If the bond was approved, $10 million will be financed through debt of a general obligation bond, with the remaining covered by private funders, donations, grants or, if needed, funds previously authorized by the city council. The city would take on a 10year bond with an interest rate between 3 and 3.5 percent. It would be paid off in 10 years with 10 annual payments. The half-percent sales tax increase would cover that debt, increasing the tax from 3 percent to 3.5 percent. The city could cover the cost of the field house with the city’s fund balance, but City Manager Stephanie Queen explained that wouldn’t be financially prudent. “In our long-term investment account, we’re earning about 6 percent and that’s projected to continue into the future,” Queen said. “Our longterm investment will continue to return above 6 percent, so by borrowing this money we’ll leave the cash that have invested and earning.” Some council members expressed concern with a special election, specifically related to the additional costs a special election would incur, but Queen said the March 2019 election leads to an ideal time line for the field house’s construction.

State investigates North Slope oil worker death ANCHORAGE (AP) — The employee of a Hilcorp Alaska drilling contractor who died last week was struck by heavy drilling pipe at Milne Point on the North Slope, state officials said. The state Occupational Safety and Health office is investigating the death, and the companies are conducting internal probes, the Anchorage Daily News reported this week. The worker employed by contractor Kuukpik Drilling died early Friday. His name hasn’t been released. The companies are cooperating with authorities, said Kenny Overvold, general manager of Kuukpik Drilling. “At this point we don’t have
anything new to release,” Overvold said. Hillcorp and Kuukpik Drilling have declined to provide additional information while the death is under investigation. An investigator with the Alaska Occupational Safety and Health office has visited the worksite, said Claire Pywell of the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The death appears to have occurred as workers were laying pipe, said Hollis French, chairman of the state Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. He said he spoke last week with a Hilcorp official who characterized death as resulting from a See DEATH, page A3

Feds: US fishermen had good year aided by lobsters, scallops By PATRICK WHITTLE Associated Press
PORTLAND, Maine — U.S. commercial fishing generated more than $144 billion in sales in 2016, buoyed by growth in key species such as sea scallops and American lobsters, the federal government reported on Thursday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the total of $144.3 billion in sales from commercial fishing in 2016 was up about $100 million from the previous year. The agency released the figure as part of its annual Fisheries Economics of the United States report, one of two reports about the health of fisheries that came out on Thursday. The economics report states that the industry was boosted by growth in value of some economically critical species, also including shrimp, but other big-money species such as Alaska pollock and pacific salmon were down from the previous year. The report shows U.S. fisheries holding steady, and continuing to play a critical role in the economies of states from Maine to California, said Ned Cyr, director of NOAA Fisheries Office of Science and Technology. “The U.S. ports are key,” he said. The economics report also said commercial fishing supported nearly 1.2 million jobs, a figure that is about in line with 2015, but slightly less than

2014. NOAA officials also released the annual Fisheries of the United States report, which is a broader look at the nation’s seafood industry and its recreational and commercial catches. That report stated that U.S. per capita consumption of fish and shellfish grew 1.1 pounds, to 16 pounds, in 2017. The fisheries report stated that America saw decreases in catch of Atlantic herring and menhaden, which are important fisheries for products such
as bait, aquaculture feed and fish oil, in 2017. However, fisheries for yellowfin tuna and Atlantic squid, which are important sources of food for people, were up during the same year. The report also emphasizes the growing role of aquaculture in the United States, a country with a smaller aquaculture sector than many other major economic players. It states that the U.S. is “not a major aquaculture producer,” ranking 16th worldwide in production, although more than half the seafood that the country imports
and consumes is farmed. “It is an increasingly important part. It has been growing steadily over the past few years,” said Michael Liddel, a statistician in the NOAA Fisheries Office of Science and Technology. The most valuable commercial fishing port in the U.S. continues to be New Bedford, Massachusetts, where fish and shellfish brought to dock was worth $389 million in 2017. That total was heavily dependent on scallops, the city’s signature export.
troleum development. Salazar said oil companies would have access to nearly three-fourths of the estimated economically recoverable oil in the reserve. The plan increased conservation areas from 12,968 square miles to 20,860 square miles, including additional land around Teshekpuk Lake, a re-
nowned habitat for migratory waterfowl. Last December the U.S. Geological Survey increased its mean recoverable oil estimate for the reserve to nearly 8.7 billion barrels. Balash announced Nov. 20 that BLM would start a process to revise the 2013 land use plan
with the goal of opening additional areas of the reserve for oil and gas leasing. Matt Lee-Ashley of the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, in an email announcement called the lease sale another “major flop,” trading wilderness for lease bids averaging $6.50 per acre.

The second floor of the field house would include an indoor track, with eight laps equalling 1 mile. “So folks can recreate and exercise while activities are going on below and the removable turf allows us to use that space for other large events adjacent with the sports center, such as trade shows,â€? Queen said. Public comments at Wednesday’s meeting were mixed, but a majority of comments from the public and city council were in favor of the field house project. “I think it’s a great project,â€? said Council Member Paul Whitney. “I think there are a lot of adults and kids who would use it ‌ I think it will be utilized by people and we would be able to do events down here instead of always travelling up there (to Anchorage) ‌ I can’t see waiting any longer.

The nearly completed designs were influenced by local stakeholders and community members who helped define the scope of the project and what the community needs are. The approximately 42,000-square-foot metal building would be connected to the current sports complex and offer a variety of recreation options for the community.

National Forestry receipts, revenue sharing with the state and an increase in sales tax revenues also helped offset deficit costs, Pierce said. Despite all the savings, the borough appropriated an additional $600,000 in supplemental expenditures, which went toward the East Peninsula Highway Emergency Service Area program, the borough’s comprehensive plan, supporting the LNG project and hiring a compliance officer. “We felt like we needed a seat at the table,� Pierce

Thursday’s release didn’t mention a meeting with DOT or FEMA, but did state that Dunleavy met with U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. Dunleavy and Zinke spoke about opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) about oil drilling and transferring 5.4 million acres of federal land owed to the state under the Alaska Statehood Act.

What Others Say
Alaska needs a governor for all When the ground started shaking
at 8:29 a.m. on Nov. 30, it did so beneath the feet of Republican and Democrat Alaskans alike. Nobody on utility crews from Anchorage to the Valley thought about the political party of their fellow citizens they were restoring power to, nor did the firefighters, first responders or the Department of Transportation employees who immediately set to work rerouting traffic and preparing to rebuild our major road arteries within just days of a 7.0 magnitude quake and amid nearly 2,000 aftershocks. Alaskans who offered up their homes or businesses for shelter or donations did not do so based on how you or they voted. After a contentious race for governor won by Republican Mike Dunleavy and a recount settled by one vote in one House district that will determine control of that half of the Legislature, the Nov. 30 quake and its aftermath was a powerful reminder that in the end we are all Alaskans. From the Department of Bad Timing, Nov. 30 was also the day that some 800 state employees ranging from commissioners to road engineers were to have tendered their resignations and reapplied for their jobs or faced termination. We still don’t know how many employees were fired or retained, but we do know that last Friday was a day for all hands on deck and not for politics. No matter how Dunleavy’s transition tries to slice it, the unprecedented move to ask for the resignations of every at-will employee in the state was a clumsy, ham-handed decision that did nothing to get the administration off on the right foot with the people he intends to lead. There was plenty of time for Dunleavy’s commissioners to take office, read the lay of the land and determine who was on board with the direction he intends to take and who was not. There was no need to make a big show of who’s the boss. Dunleavy’s picks for commissioners so far have ranged from conventional to not, from longtime stakeholders such as former Associated General Contractors of Alaska Executive Director John MacKinnon being tapped to lead the Department of Transportation to an experienced government hand like Bruce Tangeman at Revenue and a fresh set of eyes from Outside with Donna Arduin to lead the Office of Management and Budget. However, the rollout of the resignation demand was disastrously fronted by Dunleavy’s Chief of Staff and former Republican Party Chairman Tuckerman Babcock, whose fiery press releases have been a fixture of Alaska politics for years. While not explicitly worded as such, the demand for employees to affirmatively state their desire to keep their jobs in a Dunleavy administration was quickly dubbed some kind of “loyalty pledge” in the vein of those that Babcock has attempted to enforce over the years with Republicans from former Rep. Paul Seaton to Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Some employees took their disdain for the request public, leading to further escalation in Babcock’s rhetoric that did nothing to diffuse the situation or smooth the transition. By holding his swearing-in ceremony in rural Alaska and celebrating in his wife’s hometown of Noorvik, it is clear that Dunleavy wants to be a governor of all Alaskans, with a particular passion for devoting attention to the oft-forgotten Bush where poverty and crime are rampant. But by picking someone like Babcock as chief of staff and having him claim a mandate that is not nearly as strong as he’s asserted, the message has been muddled from being the governor of Alaska to being the governor of Republicans and created unnecessary uncertainty and distrust among the workforce that was not needed before, and certainly not after, the Nov. 30 earthquake. There’s a time and place for partisanship, and for vigorous debates over policy philosophies such as the size and expense of government. This is not to suggest Dunleavy should not appoint people who align with his vision, or not expect that those who work in his administration should help advance his goals to the best of their ability. This was, though, an unforced error that got him off to a rocky start before he even took office and one that he should endeavor not to repeat. — Alaska Journal of Commerce, Dec. 5, 2018
The fury of the establishment
Hell may have no fury like a woman scorned, but scorning the Washington Establishment produces even greater anger. The Establishment’s full fury has been unleashed against Donald Trump and is not about to subside until its goal is reached: the removal of the president from office, either through impeachment or defeat in the 2020 election. If there were more than the kitchen sink to throw at Trump, the Establishment would be throwing it. The latest is the hyping of private money paid to two women by Trump’s disgraced lawyer, Michael Cohen. The women claim it was money to keep them quiet over alleged affairs with him. Behavior that was tolerated, or overlooked, by previous presidents is now grounds for indictment and impeachment, says the Establishment. Members of Congress who claim Trump violated campaign finance laws by making personal payments to these women are mostly silent about a $17 million congressional fund out of which have come payments in unknown amounts to settle sexual harassment cases. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) used “office money” (translation, taxpayer dollars) to settle a sexual harassment case against him. He was eventually forced to resign. Beyond the sideshow that has rapidly become center stage in Washington is the question of where the country is headed.
There is a school of thought which claims Trump is the “last man standing” against a wave of socialism that would be sweeping the nation were it not for him. That view was Cal Thomas expressed Monday by Rush Limbaugh on his radio program, which is a go-to source for many conservatives. Limbaugh responded to an email he received from a listener: “His point is, this is all worth it. The alternative to Donald Trump was unacceptable — Hillary Clinton and the continuation of the Obama agenda and the dilution of the United States of America as a sovereign nation and a continuation of it’s becoming a member of the global conglomerate — where there wouldn’t be any debate about climate change; we would just pay up. Where there wouldn’t be any debate about open borders; we would just keep them open. Where there wouldn’t be any debate about whatever American culture or society is. It would be whatever the socialists said it was going to be.” Limbaugh’s concern is that Trump voters might “go wobbly” and that if the president’s approval numbers dip into
the 30-percent range we might see a replay of what happened to Richard Nixon when a delegation of Republican members of Congress visited the White House and told Nixon his support had evaporated, subjecting him to likely impeachment by the House and conviction in the Senate. Some congressional Democrats have said impeachment may not be their priority come January. Forty-six incoming House Democrats have sent a letter to their leadership asking that the focus be on legislation not investigations of Trump. That is not likely to play well to the Democrat base, which smells blood and wants Trump’s head. The key for conservatives, and especially Trump’s loyal base of evangelical Christians, is how much more of this are they willing to take before Trump becomes an embarrassment to them, to their agenda and even their faith? Evangelicals, especially, are paying a price for their dismissal of Trump’s past behavior and present tweets, which are becoming increasingly nasty. A little humility would be especially helpful to Trump, but that might appear insincere and beyond his capabilities. One thing is certain: the Establishment won’t give up in their daily pursuit of his destruction. Readers may email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@tribpub.com.

Trump, new Mexican president discuss migration but not wall WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Donald Trump and the new leader of Mexico discussed “positive relations” between the two countries in a phone call this week. But Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador told reporters that he and Trump have never discussed the contentious topic of the border wall. Lopez Obrador’s statement Thursday came less than an hour after Trump asserted in a tweet that Mexico was paying for the border wall through the savings the U.S. garnered in the renegotiated free trade agreement with Mexico and Canada. The two leaders spoke by phone Wednesday about immigration and Lopez Obrador’s push for a Marshall Planlike effort to spur economic development in Central America. Lopez Obrador said the conversation was respectful and friendly, but did not

The Mexican leader said the possibility of a visit to Washington was raised, but he didn’t think it was realistic until there was at least a draft agreement about investment in Central America. White House Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement that Trump and Lopez Obrador “discussed the need to address illegal migration from Central America to the United States.” The two countries have been working to find a solution for the caravans of Central American migrants traversing through Mexico in hopes of seeking asylum in the U.S. Trump had an uncomfortable relationship with the previous administration of Mexican President Enrique Pena

In plea deal, Russian woman admits to being a secret agent
Serial killer pleads guilty in Texas woman’s 1994 death
By MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press
By DAVID WARREN Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A Russian woman accused of being a secret agent admitted Thursday that she conspired to infiltrate the American gun-rights movement to gather intelligence on conservative political groups as Donald Trump rose to power. Maria Butina, 30, agreed to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge as part of a deal with federal prosecutors. The case, which is separate from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, has offered insight into how Moscow seeks to influence American policy. Prosecutors say Butina and her Russian patron, Alexander Torshin, used their contacts in the National Rifle Association to pursue back channels to American conservatives during that campaign, when Republican Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton. Court documents detail how Butina saw the Republican Party as prime for Russian influence and courted conservatives through networking and contacts with the NRA. She posed for photos with prominent Republicans, including former presidential candidates, and snagged a picture with Donald Trump Jr. at a 2016 NRA dinner. Butina’s case, brought by federal prosecutors in Washington, comes amid a broader push by the Justice Department to enforce U.S. laws governing foreign

agents, including those accused of working for Russia. As part of her deal, Butina pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to act as an unregistered foreign agent and she agreed to cooperate with investigators. Prosecutors say it is “very likely” she will be deported from the U.S. after her sentence is completed. The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, though the defense noted Thursday that federal sentencing guidelines recommend no time to six months. She has been jailed since her arrest in July.
According to her plea agreement, Butina’s work was directed by Torshin, a former longtime member of the Russian parliament who until recently was an official in Russia’s central bank. He is now under sanction by the Treasury Department for his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Butina, dressed in green jail scrubs with her red hair pulled into a long ponytail, acknowledged she “sought to establish unofficial lines of communication with Americans having power and influence over U.S. politics.” She admitted that her boyfriend, conservative political
operative Paul Erickson, helped her as she tried to use his ties with the NRA to set up the back channels. Erickson, who is referred to as “U.S. Person 1” in court papers, has not been charged. His attorney said he is a good American who “has done nothing to harm our country and never would.” In a 2015 proposal she crafted with Erickson’s help, Butina argued it was unlikely Russia would be able to exert influence using official channels and, as an alternative, suggested using back channel communications to build relationships with Republicans, according to court papers.
Authorities: Wave of hoax bomb threats made across US NEW YORK (AP) — A wave of bomb threats emailed Thursday to hundreds of schools, businesses and government buildings across the U.S. triggered searches, evacuations and fear — but there were no signs of explosives, and authorities said the scare appeared to be a crude extortion attempt. Law enforcement agencies across the country dismissed the threats, saying they were meant to cause disruption and compel recipients into sending money and were not considered credible. Some of the emails had the subject line: “Think Twice.” They were sent from a spoofed email address. The sender claimed to have had an associate plant a small bomb in the recipient’s building and that the only way to stop him from setting it off was by making an online payment of $20,000 in Bitcoin. “We are currently monitor-
ing multiple bomb threats that have been sent electronically to various locations throughout the city,” the New York City Police Department’s counterterrorism unit tweeted. “These threats are also being reported to other locations nationwide & are NOT considered credible at this time.” Other law enforcement agencies also dismissed the threats, which were written in a choppy style reminiscent of the Nigerian prince email scam. The Palm Beach County, Florida, sheriff’s office and the Boise, Idaho, police said they had no reason to believe that threats made to locations in those areas were credible. One of the emails wound up in a spam filter, Boise Police Chief William Bones said. The FBI said it is assisting law enforcement agencies that are dealing with the threats. “As always, we encourage the public to remain vigilant
and to promptly report suspicious activities which could represent a threat to public safety,” the FBI said in a statement. Across the country, some schools closed early and others were evacuated or placed on lockdown because of the hoax. Authorities said a threat emailed to a school in Troy, Missouri, about 55 miles northeast of St. Louis, was sent from Russia. The bomb threats also prompted evacuations at city hall in Aurora, Illinois, the offices of the News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina, a suburban Atlanta courthouse and businesses in Detroit. “Organizations nationwide, both public and private, have reported receiving emailed bomb threats today,” Michigan State Police spokeswoman Shannon Banner said. “They are not targeted toward any one specific sector.”
Penn State University notified students via a text alert about threats to a half-dozen buildings and an airport on its main campus in State College, Pennsylvania. In an update, the school said the threat appeared to be part of a “national hoax.” Officials at Columbine High School in Colorado were dealing Thursday with a bomb threat of a different sort. Students were being kept inside for the rest of the school day after someone called in a bomb threat against the school. The Jefferson County, Colorado, Sheriff’s Office said the caller claimed to have placed explosive devices in the school and to be hiding outside with a gun. There is nothing to validate the threat was found at Columbine, where 12 students and a teacher were killed by two students in 1999, according to Sheriff’s spokesman Mike Taplin.
Yemen’s warring sides agree on truce By DAVID KEYTON and BRIAN ROHAN Associated Press
RIMBO, Sweden — Yemen’s warring sides agreed Thursday to an immediate cease-fire in the strategic port city of Hodeida, where fighting has disrupted vital aid deliveries and left the country on the brink of starvation in the 4-year-old civil war. The agreement includes a withdrawal of combatants to outside the city limits within two weeks and was praised by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as “real progress” to alleviate Yemen’s suffering and show commitment to a political solution. The truce, along with a mass prisoner exchange agreement reached earlier, were seen as important first steps toward further talks in January aimed at drawing down a stalemated conflict that has killed thousands of people and left millions more in misery in the
Arab world’s poorest country. The cease-fire and pullback of forces eases fears that the battle for Hodeida could force an outright closure of its port, which would have been disastrous, since it is the main entry point for food and other humanitarian aid for millions of Yemenis. Throughout months of fighting around Hodeida, the port remained open, although movement of aid out of the city to the rest of the country was slowed because it had to avoid the front lines. But the deal might not mean an immediate or significant difference in easing the suffering of Yemenis. Ships bringing supplies into Hodeida must still undergo strict searches by U.N. monitors to ensure no weapons are aboard, a process that has delayed deliveries. Once in the country, it is a struggle to get food to families who need it because of corruption or mismanagement. More than 22 million of Yemen’s 29 million need humanitarian aid,
and the most desperate — over 8 million — have no food other than international relief supplies. Guterres announced the truce during peace talks in Sweden, where he thanked the delegations. “It will improve the living conditions for millions of Yemenis,” he said. “The fact that we came to an agreement on Hodeida, that many would consider the most difficult of the problems on the table, give us the hope that this process will now be moving step by step and that we’ll be able to overcome all the obstacles that we face,” Guterres told reporters after a closing ceremony in a castle in the town of Rimbo outside Stockholm. In a sign that the talks appeared to make more progress than previous rounds, Yemeni Foreign Minister Khaled alYamani and Houthi delegation head Mohamed Abdelsalam shook hands at the closing event.
The conflict pits the internationally recognized Yemeni government, supported by a Saudi-led coalition, against the Iran-backed rebels known as Houthis. The U.S. is supporting Saudi Arabia’s effort in the war. The fighting has produced one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, according to the U.N. The two sides have been locked in a stalemated fight over Hodeida for months. The U.N.-sponsored talks began last week with low expectations but saw some progress with the agreement of a prisoner swap involving about 15,000 captives, scheduled to occur by Jan. 20. Both sides have said they sought to build on the goodwill. U.N. envoy Martin Griffiths has said he wants to remove Hodeida from the conflict so that aid can flow freely. Thursday’s agreement aims to do just that, with troops retreating to outside the city limits and a province-wide ceasefire.
DALLAS — A 78-year-old prisoner who says he killed about 90 people over nearly four decades as he moved around the country pleaded guilty to murder Thursday in the 1994 strangulation of a Texas woman. Samuel Little entered his plea in the West Texas city of Odessa, where the body of Denise Christie Brothers was discovered in a vacant lot about a month after she disappeared. He received another life prison term, Ector County District Attorney Bobby Bland said in a statement. “Due to the efforts of law enforcement agencies from around the country, dozens of victims’ families now have answers,” Bland said. “Although this is a conviction in Ector County, Texas, I hope it will serve as justice for all those atrocious murders committed across this nation in this unprecedented era of terror and mayhem caused by Samuel Little.” Little was convicted in 2014 of killing three Los Angeles-area women in separate attacks in the late 1980s and was serving life sentences when authorities say he confessed this year to killing dozens more people in 20 states since 1970. Those confessions, which often included a level of detail and recall that authorities say was uncanny, spurred investigators from Florida to California to review old murder cases. An FBI spokesman said thus far, investigators have concluded that Little was the killer in 36 cases, including the killing of Brothers and the three in the Los Angeles-area that landed him in prison. But Bland said in his statement more than 40 cases have been confirmed. He later explained that he received that number from Texas Rangers, an elite investigative agency that has relayed details of Little’s con-
fessions to law officers in other states. Little detailed the killings in a series of conversations with Ranger James Holland. Most recently, police in Tennessee linked Little to the death of Martha Cunningham, a Knoxville woman whose body was found in a wooded area by a road in 1975. Even though Cunningham was bruised and nude from the waist down when her body was found, detectives attributed her death to natural causes, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel. With at least three-dozen confirmed deaths, Little is already among the most prolific known serial killers in American history. Gary Ridgway, the so-called Green River killer who is serving life in prison, pleaded guilty to killing 49 women and girls, making him the deadliest serial killer in terms of confirmed kills, though he has said he likely killed more than 71 people. Ted Bundy confessed to 30 homicides from about 1974 to 1978 and John Wayne Gacy killed at least 33 young men and boys in the 1970s. Both of them were executed. Little, who is in poor health and relies on a wheelchair, offered his confessions as a bargaining chip to be moved from the Los Angeles County prison where he was being held, the FBI said last month. But Bland said Thursday that Little will return to California to serve his life term. Little, who also went by the name Samuel McDowell, targeted vulnerable women who were often involved in prostitution and addicted to drugs, authorities have said. Once a competitive boxer, he usually stunned or knocked out his victims with powerful punches before he strangled them while masturbating. “With no stab marks or bullet wounds, many of these deaths were not classified as homicides but attributed to drug overdoses, accidents, or natural causes,” the FBI said.
Today in History Today is Friday, Dec. 14, the 348th day of 2018. There are 17 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 14, 2012, a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle killed 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, then committed suicide as police arrived; the 20-year-old had also fatally shot his mother at their home before carrying out the attack on the school. On this date: In 1799, the first president of the United States, George Washington, died at his Mount Vernon, Virginia, home at age 67. In 1819, Alabama joined the Union as the 22nd state. In 1911, Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen (ROH’-ahl AH’-mun-suhn) and his team became the first men to reach the South Pole, beating out a British expedition led by Robert F. Scott. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson vetoed an immigration measure aimed at preventing “undesirables” and anyone born in the “Asiatic Barred Zone” from entering the U.S. (Congress overrode Wilson’s veto in Feb. 1917.) In 1962, the U.S. space probe Mariner 2 passed Venus at a distance of just over 21,000 miles, transmitting information about the planet, such as its hot surface temperatures and predominantly carbon dioxide atmosphere. In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States, ruled that Congress was within its authority to enforce the Civil Rights Act of 1964 against racial discrimination by private businesses (in this case, a motel that refused to cater to blacks). In 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan concluded their third and final moonwalk and blasted off for their rendezvous with the command module. In 1981, Israel annexed the Golan Heights, which it had seized from Syria in 1967. In 1985, Wilma Mankiller became the first woman to lead a major American Indian tribe as she took office as principal chief of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. Former New York Yankees outfielder Roger Maris, who’d hit 61 home runs during the 1961 season, died in Houston at age 51. In 1986, the experimental aircraft Voyager, piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager, took off from Edwards Air Force Base in California on the first nonstop, non-refueled flight around the world. In 1988, President Reagan authorized the U-S to enter into a “substantive dialogue” with the Palestine Liberation Organization, after chairman Yasser Arafat said he was renouncing “all forms of terrorism.” In 2005, President George W. Bush defended his decision to wage the Iraq war, even as he acknowledged that “much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong.” Ten years ago: An Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at President George W. Bush during a news conference in Baghdad; Bush ducked the flying footwear as they whizzed past his head and landed against the wall behind him. (The shoe-thrower, Muntadhar al-Zeidi (MOON’-tuh-dahr ahl-zay-EE’-dee), ended up spending nine months in prison.) Five years ago: Bells tolled 26 times in Newtown, Connecticut, to honor the dead on the first anniversary of the Sandy Hook school massacre. China carried out the world’s first soft landing of a space probe on the moon in nearly four decades as the unmanned Chang’e 3 lander touched down on the lunar surface. Jameis (cq) Winston won the Heisman Trophy, making the Florida State quarterback the second straight freshman to win the award, after Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel. Actor Peter O’Toole, 81, who’d achieved instant stardom as Lawrence of Arabia and was nominated eight times for an Academy Award without winning, died in London. One year ago: The Federal Communications Commission voted to repeal the Obama-era “net neutrality” rules, a move that gave internet service providers a free hand to slow or block specific websites and apps as they see fit, or charge more for faster speeds. The most serious charge against James Alex Fields, accused of driving into a crowd protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August, was upgraded to first-degree murder; a 32-year-old woman, Heather Heyer, died and dozens were injured. Today’s Birthdays: Singer-actress Abbe Lane is 87. Actor Hal Williams is 84. Actress-singer Jane Birkin is 72. Pop singer Joyce Vincent-Wilson (Tony Orlando and Dawn) is 72. Entertainment executive Michael Ovitz is 72. Actress Dee Wallace is 70. Rhythm-and-blues singer Ronnie McNeir (The Four Tops) is 69. Rock musician Cliff Williams is 69. Actor-comedian T.K.

God is with us, for us and within us
Christmas is a time of wishes and hopes. Gifts, friends, family, food; all are included as some of the things we wish for. The first Christmas was a time of hope as well. God with us Prophecies about Christ coming had been written centuries before his birth. Each generation longed for that fulfillment and perhaps many mothers wondered if they would give birth to the Messiah. The angel cited a prophecy from Isaiah to Joseph. The son to be born was Emmanuel, or “God with us.” (Matthew 1:23). Joseph was told to call him Jesus. Angels announced his birth to shepherds who came in wonder to the stable in Bethlehem. Later, wise men
V oices of F aith M itch G lover or kings from the east followed a star and presented gifts to the Christ child. A wide spectrum of humanity was included in heralding his birth. So it is today with God reaching out to all people with “good tidings of great joy.” Indeed, God’s purpose of coming to the world was summarized in 2 Corinthians 5:19, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.” The little baby in Bethlehem was God in the flesh.
God for us
God in us
Love motivated God to come to give salvation to the world according to John 3:16-17. A list of circumstances including natural as well as spiritual forces are not capable of separating us from the love of God in Christ Jesus as written in Romans 8:35-39. It is as though Paul made this list of things to substantiate the statement in verse 31, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” God for us is a powerful reality that more than balances out the things we face in life that seem to be working against us. Sin that provides pleasure only “for a season” and Satan who tempts with sin can be defeated by the God who is with us and for us.
Jesus was in the midst of multitudes many times in his ministry. He provided for their needs of food, healing, comfort, and truth. He promised to be “in the midst” when people gathered in his name. As the time approached for him to give his life, he promised his disciples that he would come to them as the Comforter and dwell with them and be in them. He said, “I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you.” (John 14:16-18). In 2 Corinthians 6:16-18, Paul wrote of God’s desire to dwell in his people and to walk in them. The relationship would become strong like family, with God as Father and his

people as his sons and daughters. To have God dwelling within brings powerful results. It is “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Moreover, Romans 8:11 emphasized the life God imparts by dwelling in us. Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and his resurrection power imparts life to us by his indwelling Spirit. Jesus is God with us, the God who is for us, and who wants to dwell in us.

Pope cites the ‘disappeared’ among those deprived of rights By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press
ROME — Pope Francis on Monday lamented that the poor, the unborn, those imprisoned and those who have been forcibly “disappeared” do not enjoy the same human rights protections as the wealthy. Francis marked the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
with a message read at the start of a Vatican-backed conference. In it, Francis said there were “numerous contradictions” in the way the U.N. declaration was applied and blamed the world’s profit-motivated economy that exploits the poor for the injustices experienced by the world’s most vulnerable. “While one part of humanity lives in opulence, another
sees their dignity unrecognized … their fundamental rights ignored or violated,” he said. He cited the unborn, those deprived of education and dignified work, as well as prisoners who are tortured and held in “unhuman conditions.” But Francis also cited “victims of forced disappearances and their families.” It was a rare reference for Francis, who was Jesuit superior in his native Argentina
during the 1976-1983 “Dirty War,” the right-wing military government’s crackdown on leftist dissidents. Official estimates say between 7,60013,000 people were killed or forcibly “disappeared” during the crackdown; human rights activists believe the real number was as high as 30,000. Francis rarely refers in public to the bloody period of Argentina’s past. But he has met with representatives
of the “Mothers of Plaza de Mayo,” who have campaigned for years for information about the disappeared and their children, many of whom were secretly taken from their birth families and given up for adoption. In 2016, Francis authorized the opening of archives from the Vatican and the Argentine church for consultation by victims and their families. Many senior Catholic cler-
ics were close to Argentina’s military rulers at the time and human rights groups have accused them of complicity with the regime. Francis himself had been criticized for not speaking out publicly about the atrocities while a high-ranking Jesuit. But he has also been credited with saving the lives of more than two dozen people, giving them sanctuary in his seminary and helping spirit them out of the country.

Up in smoke! M
y wood stove stole my freedom. The independence I cultivated through years of working late nights in return for long afternoons when I want them has gone up in smoke. I’ve been turning down midafternoon hikes in favor of staying by the fire. I missed a late lunch meeting because I had started a fire and didn’t want to leave it unattended. I told a friend she would have to come to my place, because the fire was roaring. I cut what was supposed to be a long run short because … Well, you guessed it. I didn’t want the fire to go out while I was gone. I had been tempted with commitment before this. There have been animals giving me that puppy dog stare through a shelter’s Facebook post. I’ve nearly adopted them, thinking, “I have a flexible schedule, I could take such good care of this dog!” But that thought always stopped short, just before I started naming him or her in my head, when I remembered that I covet that flexibility. (Plus, dog-sitting a week or two here and there is usually enough for me.) I’ve tried to make recurring weekly lunch runs or meetings a staple on my calendar, but within a week or two I’ve moved it to the night. I’ll meet you every day if you want, just as long as it’s before 11 a.m. or after 5 p.m. Midafternoon is my time. I’m lucky to have it, to be able to head out in the sunshine and go for a run or hit the post office at an off hour. I stood up from my desk and just walked around town for an hour on a particularly sunny afternoon recently — a breath of fresh air. Yes, I’m lucky but I know that without that flexibility when I first moved to Alaska, I wouldn’t have stayed here long. I fell in love with summer easy enough during endless days. But, the colder months started off on the wrong foot — that first morning of heading to work at 9 a.m. in the dark. Winter wooed me the only way it could — during my free afternoons. The sun was still shining when I would hit the ski trails for a few hours, before heading back to work at dark. I traded in all that extra darkness for a few coveted hours of sunlight. That was last winter, though, when my rent included heat and there wasn’t a wood stove in sight. This winter, as the days grew shorter and colder, warmth fleeted from my home and with it, my independence. It’s all the wood stove’s fault! It’s not the greatest wood stove. It has a bit of a wobble and takes awhile to heat up. My wood needs to be drier than dirt and everything

Homer wrestlers seek state title Mariners will have to contend with more than Bethel at Division II level By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
The wars waged by the Homer and Bethel wrestling programs through each of the last three years at the Division II state championships have been seismic. This year, there may be more challengers. That’s the prediction made by Homer co-head coach Chris Perk, whose Mariners squad is eyeing a fifth state team title in school history and a second in four years. Homer captured the 2015 Division II
state crown. “I think it’s a little more even par this year,” Perk said. “Last year it was us and Bethel, but this year could be a four-team race. Come Saturday we’ll see if the kids get it done.” Adding up the team point totals from each school at the past three state championships, it’s clear to see how close the Mariners and Warriors have been. Homer has outpointed Bethel by a slim margin of 654 to 639.5 points from 2015 to 2017, although Bethel has won two state titles in that time to Homer’s one.
Perk foresees Dillingham and Glennallen as potential challengers that could join the mix at the top of the standings. Homer is also fresh off a fourth straight Kachemak Conference crown after holding off Grace Christian last week by a margin of 229.5 to 220 points, but consecutive runner-ups at the state dance have left the Mariners thirsting for more. Homer last won the state crown in 2015, a triumph that broke a 29-year state title drought. “The seniors have been around awhile,” Perk See STATE, page A9
Nikiski tops Kotzebue Hitchcock debuts with Bulldogs By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
The Rustin Hitchcock era officially opened Thursday afternoon at Kenai Central High School. Hitchcock made his head coaching debut with the Nikiski girls at the Craig Jung Kenai River Challenge with a 71-41 win over Kotzebue. Hitchcock was hired for the job after longtime Nikiski coaching presence Scott Anderson stepped down after last season. Hitchcock said after the dominating showing Thursday, he’s feeling pretty good about the team’s chances. “We’re fast and we can run,” he said. “I’m having flashbacks back to CIA.” Hitchcock, a Nikiski graduate himself, formerly coached the Cook Inlet Academy girls at the Class 1A level and helped them win a state championship in 2013. Thursday against Kotzebue, it was senior Bethany Carstens flaunting her muscles as a newly signed Division I collegecommitted player, scoring a game-high 30 points. Four weeks ago, Carstens penned her letter of intent to play at Chicago State University. The reigning Class 3A Girls Player of the Year poured in 14 first-quarter points for Nikiski, Nikiski’s Angela Druesedow drives against Kotzebue’s Ally Martin (11) on Thursday at the which streaked out to a 23-4 Craig Jung Kenai River Challenge at Kenai Central High School. (Photo by Joey Klecka/ lead in the first eight minutes. Peninsula Clarion) Carstens said playing under
Hitchcock is a different experience than her previous three years under Anderson. “It’s very different, but we figured it out after a bit,” she said. “The plays are different and he does it differently than (Anderson) … I’m just really excited for the season and having a new coach is super exciting.” Kelsey Clark also added 11 points for Nikiski and Kaycee Bostic had eight. Kotzebue was led by Elise Hughes’ 12 points. Hitchcock said Anderson’s exit did not leave a shattered team behind, as most of the current crew is returning from a fourth-place finish at the 3A state tournament last March. “He left the cupboard very full,” Hitchcock said. “Scott has a very disciplined and organized mind, and we’re in a very fluid situation right now. “It’s a gift and an honor being here.” The opening weekend of prep basketball on the peninsula also included a 55-21 win by the Kenai girls over Houston at the Kenai River Challenge. In boys action at the tournament, Kenai prevailed 55-30 over Houston and Nikiski beat Kotzebue 53-29. The traditional Soldotna Powerade/Al Howard Tip-Off boys tournament was scrapped this weekend due to several teams backing out, including a prep Oregon team that was See BALL, page A9
Bears goalie Enright earns Division I commit By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
Kenai River Brown Bears goalie Gavin Enright sacrificed his senior year of high school to learn what it takes to be successful in the North American Hockey League. Enright took that knowledge, improved where he needed to in the summer, then raised some eyebrows before committing to Division I Bemidji State University this week. “He was a rookie last year,” Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich said of Enright, the son of Brady and Lindsay Enright of Farmington, Minnesota.
“Him and his dad summed it up. He didn’t know what to expect in junior hockey. He didn’t know how tough it is on your body. He didn’t know how strong he needed to be. He had no clue.” Enright, billet son of Steve and Lindsay Hallum of Kenai, finished 9-22-1-2 last season with a save percentage of .892 and goals-against average of 3.79. This season, playing for a much better team, he is 8-7-1-1 with numbers of .925 and 2.31. That transformation rapidly drew the attention of college scouts. “Things started to heat up with him and he gained a lot of attention,” Petrich said. “A couple of schools wanted his money where his mouth was and wanted
a decision, and Bemidji was the winner in the end.” Last season was about more than hockey for Enright. He also was taking a full academic load online and was far away from his family. “He handled it like a champion,” Petrich said. “I could tell he was frustrated because I know the kid, but he never let it show.” Petrich said the difference in Enright this season is apparent from the time he calmly skates onto the ice after being announced before home games. The coach added that days where players announce college commitments are the best part of his job. See BEARS, page A8
Refuge celebrates 77 years of conservation
W
hat happened in 1941? So many events are tied to that year, some small and others enormous in their lasting impacts. The first paid network TV commercial aired that year. The National Gallery of Art opened in Washington, D.C. The first organ music was played at a baseball stadium. More somber, Pearl Harbor’s bombing marked the entry of the United States into World War II. On the heels of that sad event, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed an executive order creating the Kenai National Moose Range on Dec. 16. Here’s a link to a more detailed account of how the refuge came to be: https://www. fws.gov/refuge/Kenai/what_ we_do/Community/09302011. html. Since its establishment, the Kenai National Moose Range, The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1941 after a grass-roots effort by big now Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, has actively contribgame hunters to protect dwindling wildlife populations.

It’s hard to imagine life on the Kenai without our homes backing up to the forest, our families having short drives to free campgrounds, or our boats slipping into the water at free boat launches. How has the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge been your neighbor this year? Have your kids explored the outdoors on a field trip or at summer camp? The refuge hosted four weeks of camp and months of school programs,
partnered with Alaska Geographic and Kenaitze Indian Tribe for three other summer camps, and visited the library and local preschools for some indoor fun. Has your family hiked a trail with a ranger? Discovery Hikes were back and stronger than ever. Ranger Amber and volunteer hosts Gail and Bill gathered quite a following on their weekly guided walks in the Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area. Missed the fun in 2018? More hikes, on more trails and designed for all fitness levels, are scheduled for Fridays in summer 2019. The Refuge opened a new trail off Skilak Lake Road in 2018, broke ground on a second one in town along Ski Hill Road, and partnered with the local horsemen’s association to improve a historic trail to access land near Tustumena Lake.

“When he announced at practice, a couple of guys tackled him,” Petrich said. “It’s pretty special to be around as a coach when they take the next step in their hockey career, but more importantly in their academic career and in life.” Four former or current Brown Bears players have now made Division I commitments this season — Chris Lipe, Cam McDonald, Markuss Komuls and Enright. “It’s a great time to be a Brown Bear,” Petrich said. “We’ve got many other kids
in talks. This isn’t going to be the last one. We’re excited about where the program’s going, not only on the ice but off the ice.” Petrich is also excited about where Enright is going. “They’re getting a very good goalie, but they’re also getting an unbelievable leader on and off the ice,” Petrich said. Enright will be with Bemidji State in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, meaning he will play the University of Alaska Anchorage and University of Alaska Fairbanks. The Beavers were 16-14-8 last season. Tom Serratore is in his 18th season leading the program, which made the NCAA Frozen Four in 2009.

the new Marsh Lake Trail, add it to your plans! Growing out of a rehabilitation project after fighting the Card Street Fire in 2015 and after contributions of skill from every department of the refuge, this trail opened to the public in a weekend event called Termination Dust Celebration. Marsh Lake Trail is great for hiking, skiing or snowshoeing in every season and it’s just three short miles from Sterling! If day trips aren’t enough, you can be a refuge neighbor overnight. Have you stayed at a refuge public-use cabin? Sitting by a warm fire, looking out at soft lake waves while a loon calls out an evening song can’t be beat. Fourteen cabins can be reserved online at the newly redesigned www.recreation. gov. Two other cabins are first come, first served. A dedicated cabin crew works year-round to keep these buildings looking their best. Front-country cabins include a row boat in the summer months but don’t be scared off from a winter stay. Some of the most happy and rejuvenating visits have been recorded in the cabin journals by winter guests. Quiet evenings aren’t ideal for everyone. Thankfully the long days of summer can help the more spirited outdoorsman find adventure on the refuge. Have you fished for salmon at the Russian River Ferry? Finding that perfect hole by the powerline or wading out to the confluence island as the river runs red with sockeye is perfection to many of the refuge’s neighbors. Seasonal rangers and volunteer hosts piloted a new program for visitors at the ferry landing this year. They offered
interactive educational programs on bear safety, fishing tips and even “How not to poop in the woods” guidance to reduce human waste. These programs will return for summer 2019, along with our daily ranger visits to help folks enjoy their day safely. Rangers are a wealth of local knowledge, too. New in 2018 was a partnership with Kenaitze Indian Tribe’s Daggeyi Internship Program. This summerlong internship brought cultural programs to the Kenai Refuge Visitor Center in Soldotna and a new guided walk to the Russian River in the Squilantnu Archaeological District. Interested in learning more about the rich cultural history of the Kenai Peninsula? Watch for more hands-on programming in town and out in the Skilak area in 2019! The history of this place, the land now called Kenai National Wildlife Refuge and held in trust for all future generations, began well before 1941. As neighbors who are each drawn to its majesty, its wildlife, its diverse landscapes, we each play a role in writing the next chapter in the Kenai’s story. This weekend marks the 77th year of conservation for Kenai refuge. Please join refuge managers and staff for refreshments, free interactive family activities, and more at a Visitor Center Open House this Saturday from noon until 4 p.m. Our Visitor Center is located at 33398 Ski Hill Road in Soldotna.

Chargers come back to top Chiefs By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Arrowhead Stadium was already emptying by the time Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers jogged to the locker room, triumphantly waving his hand as a satisfying cascade of boos washed over him. He had finally beaten the Kansas City Chiefs. It sounded perfect. Rivers led Los Angeles on a feverish fourth-quarter comeback Thursday night, capped by a debatable pass-interference call, a tense video review of the last touchdown and the gutsy decision to try a 2-point conversion. And for the first time in years against Kansas City,
everything turned out perfectly for Rivers and the Chargers in a 29-28 victory that clinched their playoff spot. “This was big. Here or at home, whatever,” Rivers said, “we needed to beat these guys.” The Chargers (11-3) trailed 28-14 when Justin Jackson’s touchdown run with 3:49 to go gave them a chance. They quickly got the ball back from Patrick Mahomes and the NFL’s highest-scoring offense, and Rivers led a tense final drive that included a fourthdown dart to Travis Benjamin to keep it alive. That crucial penalty on Kendall Fuller in the back of the end zone gave the Chargers the ball at the 1, and Rivers found Mike Williams along the side-
line on the next play. And when his TD catch with 4 seconds left was confirmed, coach Anthony Lynn sent his offense back onto the field. Williams hauled in the conversion to end five years’ worth of frustration. “We didn’t come here to tie. We came here to win. So to me it was a no-brainer,” said Lynn, whose team became the first since Minnesota in Week 15 of the 2002 season to win with a 2-point conversion in the final 10 seconds of regulation. The comeback allowed Los Angeles to forge a first-place tie in the AFC West, though the Chiefs (11-3) hold the tiebreaker with a better division record. More satisfying was the simple
fact that Rivers and the Chargers had finally snapped their nine-game losing streak against Kansas City. They hadn’t beaten the Chiefs since 2013, the last year they made the playoffs. “Oh, it’s satisfying,” Benjamin said. “We talked about it. We knew it had been a couple years and we wanted to go into this game and change that and we did.” Rivers threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions, and Williams had seven catches for 76 yards and two scores while adding another on the ground. Jackson ran for 58 yards and a touchdown in place of the injured Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler.

HOUSTON — James Harden had 50 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, scoring 11 points during a big fourth-quarter run to lead the Houston Rockets to a 126-111 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. Harden grabbed his 10th rebound with less than 90 seconds left to give him his second triple-double this season and the 37th of his career.

said. “Hopefully they get to end their careers on a high note.” The current senior class were freshmen when Homer broke through in 2015, and four seniors on this year’s squad enter the weekend as the topseeded competitor in their respective weight class. The Division I tournament will be held in conjunction with the Division II tourney, and with both championships housed at the Alaska Airlines Center for a third straight year, it’s shaping up to be a wild night of grappling. Finals start Saturday at 6 p.m., following two rounds of consolation finals. The Alaska Airlines Center was flooded with water due to damage from the Nov. 30 earthquake, but event organizers made sure the spacious arena would be ready to host state wrestling in a two-week period. Soldotna is the only peninsula representative at the Division I tournament after Kenai Central dropped down to Div. II this year, and while the Stars aren’t a big threat to win the team title, they are bringing a sizable contingent with 13 qualifiers, including several strong state title contenders. SoHi holds two top seeds — juniors Aaron Faletoi at 215 pounds and Eli Floyd at 285. Back at the Division II level, the Kenai Kardinals qualified five wrestlers, Nikiski qualified nine wrestlers, Seward qualified two wrestlers and Voznesenka is bringing five, led by 119-pound region champ and top state seed Max Kusnetsov. Homer’s chances at a state team title rely heavily on how many names

coached by former Ninilchik hoops coach Nick Finley. Soldotna athletic director Kyle McFall said the teams backed out of the tournament due to “financial reasons or administrative changes.” While the boys tournament was cancelled, the girls got a chance to play at Soldotna. The Stars dominated in a 65-36 win over Cordova, while the Kodiak girls beat Bethel 38-15. At KCHS, the Nikiski girls took a 12-4 lead over the Huskies in the first four minutes and ended the first quarter on an 8-0 spurt in the final two minutes, with Carstens getting six of those points. Carstens scored eight straight by herself into the second quarter, driving the lane with authority and putting back a pair of buckets on offensive rebounds to put Nikiski up 274. The Bulldogs led by as much as 31-6 midway through the second before Kotzebue finally began to find a rhythm. The Huskies ripped off an 8-0 run with a 3-pointer from Ally Martin mixed in. Leading 35-17 at halftime, Nikiski made sure to put the game away by pouring in 18 points in the first 3:08 of the third quarter to open a 53-20 lead, with a mix of shots including a jumper by Kaycee Bostic, a triple by Emma Wik and another putback by Carstens. Nikiski led 62-26 after three quarters. The Bulldogs will take on Kenai tonight at 7:30 p.m. before meeting Houston at noon Saturday.
the Mariners can pack into the finals. Last week at the conference tournament, Homer put a lot of wrestlers into Saturday’s finals but was outscored in the consolation rounds by Grace Christian, which picked up valuable points for third- and fifth-place finishing athletes. The Mariners were able to escape with the team title because of their dominance in the finals — Homer produced six region champs while Grace got two — but at the state dance, they may not be able to rely on that again. “Hopefully we get a lot of help from a lot of other people in the state,” Perk said. “But that is for sure a situation that would work against us. We can only control what we can control, and we’ll just take it one match at a time.” Homer put seven wrestlers into the 2017 state finals and came out with four champions. The group of 11 boys representing Homer this weekend include five No. 1 seeds. Senior Seth Inama leads the 125-pound class with a 33-1 record in 2018. Inama is undefeated against Division II competition this year, and is seeking his second state crown. Luciano Fasulo enters as the top seed at 135 pounds, and also looks to build on his 107-match win streak that dates back to his sophomore year. Fasulo is 10-0 this year, a shortened campaign after missing time due to minor ligament tears in his right knee. At 140 pounds, senior Wayne Newman is the top seed at 36-2. Newman was the recipient of the Outstanding Boys Wrestler honor at the Kachemak Conference tournament, and is undefeated against Division II wrestlers this year, but Newman has also never won a state title. Newman has three runner-up finishes to his credit in each year of high school, finishing second
Kenai girls 55, Houston 21 Brooke Satathite scored 16 points to lead the Kardinal girls attack on Houston Thursday night at KCHS. Kenai outscored Houston 15-2 in the second quarter to take a 22-6 lead at halftime, then poured in 20 third-quarter points to ice the win. Hayley Maw added 10 points for Kenai and Liz Hanson chipped in eight. Nikiski boys 53, Kotzebue 29 Jace Kornstad pumped in 17 points to lead the Bulldogs to a lopsided win over Kotzebue at the Kenai River Challenge. Nikiski staked out a 22-10 lead in the first quarter and built it up to 35-18 by the half. Kornstad had 12 points in the first quarter. Noah Litke and Michael Mysing both notched 11 points for Nikiski as well. Nikiski will face host Kenai today at 6 p.m. before meeting Houston Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Kenai boys 55, Houston 30
at 98, 106 and 126 pounds. The top seed at 152 pounds, junior Mose Hayes, enters state with a 29-5 mark this year. Hayes is gunning for second state title to complement the 138-pound crown he won last year. Homer’s final top-seeded wrestler is senior Jadin Mann at 285 pounds. At 18-1 this year, Mann has not lost against Division II competition. Among Homer’s other state contenders is sophomore Josh Bradshaw, the fifth seed at 152 pounds. Bradshaw prevailed over his teammate Hayes in last week’s conference 152-pound final, and could pull another upset this week. Bradshaw is also joined by senior Ian Stovall, a sixth seed at 130 pounds, sophomore Austin Cline at 112 pounds, junior Ryan Hicks at 189, senior Hunter Harrington at 215 and freshman Alex Hicks at 285. Homer also qualified four girls to the state tournament, led by senior McKenzie Cook at 145 pounds. Cook is unbeaten against female competition this year and is looking to join an exclusive club of four-time state champions in Alaska. No girl has ever won four state wrestling titles in Alaska, although girls were only separated from boys recently. The current list of boys four-time state champions is 12 total. Joining Cook is sophomore Sadie Blake, the fifth seed at 119 pounds, junior Mina Cavasos, the third seed at 125, and sophomore Mariah Grimes, the sixth seed at 160. Soldotna’s crew of 13 state qualifiers is led by Faletoi at 215 pounds and Floyd at 285. Both grapplers are seeded first entering the weekend and are seeking their first state titles. At 23-1 this year, Faletoi’s one loss came to Homer’s Jadin Mann, a Division II wrestler, so Faletoi has an unbeaten
game-high 18 points to lead the Stars to a win at Soldotna High School. Aliann Schmidt chipped in 15 points, including nine in the first quarter, Drysta CrosbySchneider netted 10 and Brittani Blossom sunk a pair of 3’s in the first quarter to finish with nine points. Soldotna jumped out to a 2111 lead, then pushed it 36-19 at halftime. Service Cougar Tip Off The Bartlett boys took a 16-2 lead after the first quarter en route to a 64-39 victory on the first day of the 39th Annual Service Cougar Tip Off. For Homer, Daniel Reutov led the way with 13 points, while Stanley Swoboda pitched in 10. For Bartlett, Rashad King had 18 points, while Bishop Tosi added 13. Homer plays Redington in the consolation bracket at 1:15 p.m. Friday. Also in the first round, East topped Seward 77-25. For Seward, Max Pfieffenberger led the way with 14 points. For East, Brayden Maladonado had 12 points, Hasani Zimmerman had 12 points and Jaron Williams had 10 points. Seward plays Point Hope in the consolation bracket Friday at 3 p.m.
Adam Trujillo led a balanced attack by the Kardinal boys with 12 points, while teammates Dominick Efta pumped in 11 and Andrew Bezdecny had seven. A 22-11 start by Kenai led to a 36-20 halftime lead for the Cook Inlet Classic Kards, who then put up a defensive front by shutting out the In the opening girls game, Hawks in the third quarter 8-0. Nikolaevsk edged Nikiski’s JV 21-20.

Winter meetings wrap up By BEN WALKER AP Baseball Writer
LAS VEGAS — Carlos Santana and Jeurys Familia found friendly landing spots, Edwin Encarnacion took off for a more uncertain future. Joe Kelly joined the team he helped beat in the World Series, the Milwaukee Brewers boosted their imposing bullpen. The winter meetings wrapped up Thursday with a three-team trade involving Cleveland, Seattle and Tampa Bay, plus a couple more relievers reached freeagent deals. Even so, baseball fans might’ve felt a bit cheated this week. Because even after all clubs gathered along the Strip, no one went all in. Hometown slugger Bryce Harper stayed put, Manny Machado didn’t move. A lot of trade talk about Corey Kluber, Noah Syndergaard and J.T. Realmuto, but no deals.
Blame that, maybe, on a new way of doing business. In older days, a general managers or agent would’ve met around the blackjack table or roulette wheel in the wee hours and hammered out a swap on a handshake. Now, with so many financial, medical and analytical components, that’s virtually impossible. “There’s a lot of great agents who have done big high-profile deals that are involved with these guys, so contracts have gotten more complicated in recent years with the opt-outs and various deferrals and other mechanisms that it’s very possible that in the end we see something that we haven’t seen before in terms of deal structure,” White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. Well said, actually. In the biggest trade of the week, the Indians brought back Santana and sent the slugging Encarnacion to Seattle. The Rays got highly prized infielder Yandy
Diaz in a swap that also included a couple more players, cash and a draft pick. The Rays also have a pending deal with All-Star pitcher Charlie Morton. “Looking at history, I think to expect to come out of the winter meetings with as many things either completed or possible as we have is not something that you can expect,” Rays senior vice president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said. “Here we were able to get something over the finish line before getting on the plane,” he said. Encarnacion drove in 107 runs and hit 32 homers, increasing his major league-best totals in both departments since 2012. He could provide the power lost when DH Nelson Cruz became a free agent —or not. “We’ll see how it goes with Edwin, whether he stays with us or he moves on to another destination,” Seattle assistant general manager Justin Hollander said.
streak to protect against Division I opponents this weekend. Returning to defend a state crown is senior Gideon Hutchison at 130 pounds, the second seed in that class only behind South’s Jacob Shack. Hutchison is 34-1 this year, his lone loss being a 16-6 decision to Shack at the Lancer Smith tournament. Hutchison also represents the last of his large family to come through the Alaska wrestling scene. A second state title for Gideon on Saturday would mark the 13th championship in total by a Hutchison sibling, a remarkable line of success that began with Zeb Hutchison’s victory wrestling for Skyview High in 1996. Soldotna’s last seeded athlete is sophomore Dennis Taylor at 152 pounds, the fourth seed with a 14-4 record in 2018. Also for SoHi, senior Logan Craig seeks his first state title at 112 pounds after taking fourth at 106 pounds last year. Soldotna also qualified junior Ben Booth at 125 pounds, freshman Brian Kuhr as an alternate at 140 pounds, junior Brayde Wolfe at 145, sophomore Sean Babitt at 171, senior Brennan Werner at 189, sophomore Max Rogers at 215 and junior Melvin Lloyd at 285. In the girls field, junior Amanda Wylie is the top seed at 160 pounds. Wylie’s only two losses to female competition came against Homer’s McKenzie Cook, a three-time state girls champ that wrestles at the Division II level. Kenai’s group of five at the Division II tournament includes thirdseeded Tucker Vann at 160 pounds and sixth-seeded teammates Talon Whicker at 103 and Rocky Sherbahn at 215. Vann is a sophomore with a 23-4 record, while Whicker is a freshman at 20-8 and Sherbahn a
56-48. For Nikolaevsk, Zach Trail had 18, while Michael Trail had 16 and Justin Trail added 13. For Nanwalek, Ben Botero had 21 points, while Uriah Huntsman added 13. In the late girls game, the Soldotna JV topped Cook Inlet Academy 44-25. Emma Brantley had 13 for the Stars, while Jolie Widaman pitched in 10. For CIA, Anna Cizek and Adara Warren each had eight points. Today at the classic, Nikiski and Soldotna JV girls play at 4 p.m., Nanwalek boys at Soldotna JV play at 5:15, Nikolaevsk girls and CIA play at 6:30 and Nikolaevsk boys and CIA play at 7:45 p.m. Service girls 34, Seward 28 The host Cougars opened the season with a nonconference victory against the Seahawks. Seward trailed just 12-11 at the half, but a 15-7 third quarter turned the tide for the Cougars. For Service, Cadie Stoddard led the way with nine points, while Riley Von Borstel had nine for Seward.

sophomore at 17-7. Also competing for Kenai is senior Brandon Kroto at 152 pounds and freshman Olivia Easley in the girls tournament at 130 pounds. Easley won the conference girls title last week at the 130-pound level. With fifth-seeded Dustin Mullins leading the Nikiski charge at 215 pounds, days after winning a region title, the Bulldogs are building on last week’s third-place finish at the conference tournament, a five-spot improvement over 2017. Joining Mullins is sixth-seeded sophomore Koleman McCaughey at 160 pounds, who finished second at the region meet last week, and recent region champion Griffin Gray, a freshman at 103 pounds. The Bulldogs also include sophomore Jaryn Zoda at 112 pounds, junior Jordan Fleming at 125, junior Mason Payne at 145, sophomore Caileb Payne at 171 (as an alternate), junior Ethan Hack at 285 and girls qualifier junior Destiny Martin at 125. Seward’s two state qualifiers are sophomore Thomas Ooka at 130 pounds and freshman Kekoa Albino at 285. Finally, Voznesenka qualified an impressive five wrestlers to state, led by former state champion Max Kusnetsov, who leads the 119-pound field. Kusnetsov won the 98-pound title as a sophomore in 2016 but lost to fourtime state champion Thomas Dyment of Bethel last year. Joining Kusnetsov is sophomore Afony Reutov at 140 pounds, senior Dia Martishev at 145, senior Daniel Anufriev at 152 and junior Anthony Kalugin at 171. Martishev enters as the sixth seed at 140 pounds while Kalugin is the fourth-seeded wrestler at 171, and Anufriev got in on an atlarge bid.

Divorcing mom is grateful for new man’s friendship anything. Please advise me. -- LONELY AND CONFUSED OUT WEST DEAR LONELY AND CONFUSED: There is nothing wrong with wanting companionship, but the last thing you and your children need is for you to jump from the frying pan into the fire. You are still a married woman. Jason may be ter- Abigail Van Buren rific -- Heaven sent, even -- but it’s too soon to “declare” anything. The two of you are still getting to know each other, and love needs time to develop. Be patient and allow the relationship to evolve gradually in its own time. DEAR ABBY: This is for delivery drivers or anyone making a delivery to your house that requires a signature or a real person to receive the item (i.e., an Uber driver with food). I’m 61 and have very bad knees. I can’t just jump up and run to the door. Today a driver knocked on my door and then, as I was trying to get out of my chair and walk to the door, he started punching the doorbell repeatedly.
People with arthritis, bad knees or many other conditions can’t get there in an instant. Please give folks like us a minute to get to the door. Someone could fall while trying to rush and get hurt. -- NOT FAST ENOUGH IN FLORIDA DEAR N.F.E.: You make a good point. Delivery people sometimes become frustrated because they have many deliveries to make. A solution to your problem might be to post a small sign next to your doorbell that reads: Please be patient. I’ll open the door in a minute! P.S. For those who are inclined, “smart” doorbells are available for use with a cellphone that enable you to communicate with a delivery person at the door before you get there. Consider getting one. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. What teens need to know about sex, drugs, AIDS and getting along with peers and parents is in “What Every Teen Should Know.” Send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Teen Booklet, P.O.

Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Dec. 14, 2018: This year you open up to others. Still, you could act in an unpredictable way that surprises those around you. You often think one thing, yet you do something completely different. You will get a handle on this behavior as you become more aware of this pattern. If you are single, you will meet someone who knocks your socks off. This person might be amused by your behavior and will accept you as you are. If you are attached, your sweetie probably likes the excitement of your diverse personality. Plan a long-desired trip together. PISCES helps you to be as clear as possible. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your optimism and enjoyment of your personal life come out, even when dealing with a difficult associate. Questions might arise in a meeting or in a discussion involving a friend. Listen carefully and observe. Indulge an important child in your life. Tonight: In weekend mode. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You will speak and be heard; the modulation of your voice says it all. You would prefer to indulge a loved one rather than have to put restrictions on him or her. You will hear positive news, but recognize that you might not have all the facts. Tonight: Hang out with a pal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Before you go out to complete any holiday shopping or other matters related to the next few weeks, balance your checkbook and take a hard look
Rubes
at your finances. Everyone loves to give gifts, including you, but creating situations that will be damaging later should be avoided. Tonight: Out late. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH A gesture to those in your daily life will mean a lot, and it doesn’t need to cost a lot. A loved one might feel a bit down, as you seem to be everywhere but with him or her. This person will understand your actions, but know that he or she misses you. Tonight: It is your call. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Know when to pull back and find out what is happening. You might not understand the whole story, so speak to a friend or loved one who could give you a different perspective. Have a difficult conversation, and figure out what you want. Tonight: Lighten up the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A meeting will be more important than you realize. Push could come to shove, whether you like it or not. Your seriousness will help you communicate how important an appropriate response might be. Get as much information as possible. Tonight: Listen to your instincts. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Step up to the plate and assume your responsibilities. Your finances could stress you out inordinately, especially as you might be facing big bills and also coveting a special item for yourself or a loved one. Tonight: Join friends. Let go of the issue. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Keep reaching out to a relative at a distance. A situation could trigger you, but the matter at hand will

transform soon enough. Let others’ opinions filter in. At the end of the day, it will be you who has the final opinion. Tonight: Indulge in some lighthearted holiday fun. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Deal with a loved one directly. You might feel as if you are carrying a burden that is hard to discuss; however, you must open up in order to release this weight. One-on-one conversations could help the situation considerably. Tonight: Go out and finish up your shopping. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Listen to answers and defer to someone else. Allow greater flexibility. Going with the flow could be a lot easier than you originally might have thought. In the past few weeks, if you have managed to relax, you have experienced more freedom. Tonight: Join friends for some munchies. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Pace yourself, and know full well what you need to do. A boss or higher-up could be on your case because he or she needs you to do more. You are in the holiday spirit. Therefore, you will try to meet all of your demands, and you might even succeed. Tonight: Take a nap. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Allow greater creativity to flourish. You have many ideas that could help you shorten your to-do list. Take the time to add some of the extra flourishes that represent the winter holidays. Tonight: Move quickly through your errands.

Battery baggage Dear Heloise: My sister-in-law gave me a hint I’d like to pass along. When traveling, I take all battery-operated items and place them in a plastic bag AFTER I REMOVE THE BATTERIES. Then I place the items on top of my clothing. I usually pack brandnew batteries, in their original wrapper, in my purse. The logic is this: The “on button” can accidentally be turned on while my luggage is being handled and transported. And if I pack the batteries in a separate plastic bag, they can touch each other and possibly start a fire. While it’s rare, it’s still a risk I won’t take with lives of others on the plane. -- Terry K., Lamar, Colo. BEWARE CREDIT CARD TRICKS Dear Heloise: Please warn your readers that when an advertisement for a credit card says “as low as,” it does NOT promise to give you that rate, and usually charges more interest than the lowest rate mentioned in the advertisement. “Preapproved” does not mean you don’t have to apply for a credit card, because you’ll be required to go through the whole approval process before any card is issued to you. -- Richard S., Rhinebeck, N.Y. REVIEWING RESUMES Dear Heloise: I work in human resources for a large company. We get hundreds of resumes each month, and my job is to review them. To help some of your readers find a better job, there are few do’s and don’ts: * Don’t include a photo of yourself unless you’re an actor or a model. * Use high-quality paper (white, light gray or ivory) and a clear, easy-to-read font. * One page is best, but certainly no more than two pages. * Don’t get “wordy.” Check your spelling and grammar. Neatness counts. * Don’t try to be humorous, don’t use slang, and stay away from cliches such as “I’m a people person.” -- Tyler G. in Philadelphia

DEAR ABBY: A year ago my 13-year marriage fell apart. My husband, “Rick,” will be spending the next six years in prison. I am 32 and have two boys, ages 13 and 15. The last year has been pretty tough for all of us. I’ve been learning how to be both mother and father to them. I am also heartbroken by what he did that landed him in prison. I have filed for divorce, and there will be no reconciliation. I never thought I would be with another man. Rick is the only man I have ever been with. But over the last couple of months I have begun developing feelings for someone, or at least I think I have. “Jason” is a great man. We attend the same church, and it’s very important to me and my family that he’s devoted to God like we are. Jason loves my kids, and my kids like him a lot, too. He has also taken the time to mentor my oldest son. Every time I see Jason I feel happier than I’ve been in a very long time. He is the polar opposite of Rick, and he has no idea of how strong my feelings are toward him. Should I let Jason know what my feelings are? I’m confused. Could this just be me wanting companionship? I love being his friend and would like to continue to be. I don’t want to ruin it by revealing my feelings if he doesn’t feel the same. Also, I don’t want to rush into
