At a large table in the corner of the Kenai Peninsula College’s Learning Center, nearly a dozen people sit and discuss what they did over the Thanksgiving holiday. While this type of conversation may seem commonplace at any college setting, the group is anything but ordinary.

These particular students have come from countries all over the globe and are meeting to improve their English.

Funded by a state grant, the KPC Learning Center has been offering free English as a Second Language classes for more than 20 years. The classes, held on Wednesdays and Thursdays, range in level and are tailored to fit each student’s needs. Available classes include grammar, conversation, reading and even US citizenship preparation.

“It’s really student driven, for the most part,” said Diane Taylor, Direc- ‘Many students tor of the KPC Learning come from Center. “What students a rewarding come in here to work on is really varied.

The students represent countries span- scratch.’ ning the globe, including — Diane Taylor, Russia, Germany, CamerDirector of the oon and numerous others.

KPC Learning “This is for anybody that comes here, whether Center they are a tourist, an immigrant, or a foreign student that wants to improve their English,” Taylor said.

Moving to a new country is challenging, Taylor said, but with hard work, people can be successful in the United States.

“Many students come from a rewarding background in their home country, and when they come here they start from scratch,” Taylor said. “I’ve seen people who have started from scratch go on to do amazing things and really reach their goal.”

To help students reach their goals, the Learning Center employs some language instructors and it also relies heavily on volunteers. Because the Learning Center doesn’t heavily advertise the ESL classes, Taylor gives the instructors a lot of credit for spreading the word.

“They are like little ambassadors for the program,” Taylor said.

Kathy Christopherson, who has been an ESL instructor at the Learning Center for three years, said teaching and helping the students is a rewarding experience. Aside from lessons, Christopherson helps run events such as potlucks during the holiday seasons, which serve to teach students about American culture.

“We try to show the students what the celebrations are like in the US, so they become familiar with

Troopers arrest Kenai man for theft of a snow machine

By DAN BALMER Peninsula Clarion

While responding to a disturbance at Soldotna High School Tuesday, Alaska State Troopers located a Kenai man with a snowmachine that was reported stolen from a dealership in October.

Austin Hibbert, 18, was arrested on six charges - firstdegree vehicle theft, second-degree theft, removal of identification marks, tampering

with physical evidence, thirddegree criminal mischief and first-degree criminal trespass.

The first five charges are class C felonies and if convicted the penalty is a maximum five years in prison and up to $50,000 fine on each count.

A 2015 Polaris Assault 800 snowmachine valued at $12,500 was reported stolen from Peninsula Powersports in Soldotna on Oct. 27. An investigation by troopers revealed the snowmachine was “lifted over the fence

with the help of a skid-steer loader,” according to a trooper affidavit filed in Kenai Court on Dec. 10.

Peninsula Powersports, a Polaris snowmachine dealership located near Mile 3 of the Kenai Spur Highway, stores its snowmachines behind a 12foot high chain link barbedwire fence. Owner Nate Titus said they were in the middle of changing their security system which was ready to be installed See THEFT, page A-2

Lockheed Martin wins Alaska spaceport bid MARK THIESSEN Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — The state-owned space agency on Friday named Lockheed Martin the winner of a bidding process to reconfigure a launch pad to accommodate larger rockets than what the Kodiak Launch Complex can currently handle.

Lockheed Martin beat out three other bidders to reconfigure launch pad one at the Kodiak site, officials with the Alaska Aerospace Corp. said

during a news conference in Anchorage.

“It’s is a great day,” said Craig Campbell, the corporation’s CEO and president.

“It’s what we’ve been trying to achieve for a number of years. And we’re at the point now, we’re at the cusp of being able to really expand our operation and do the stuff that Alaskans have always wanted.”

The Kodiak facility is capable of launching small rockets, but the more lucrative market is with mediumSee SPACE, page A-5

Stopgap gov’t funds passed Congress sends Obama $1.1 trillion spending bill DAVID ESPO and DONNA CASSATA Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Congress cleared a $1.1 trillion spending bill for President Barack Obama’s signature late Saturday night after a day of Senate intrigue capped by a failed, largely symbolic Republican challenge to the administration’s new immigration policy.

The vote was 56-40 in favor of the measure, which funds nearly the entire government through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year. It also charts a new course for selected shaky pension plans covering more than 1 million retirees, including the possibility of benefit cuts.

The Senate passed the bill on a day Democrats launched a drive to confirm two dozen of Obama’s stalled nominees to the federal bench and administration posts, before their majority expires at year’s end.

Several Republicans blamed tea party-backed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for giving the outgoing majority party an opportunity to seek approval for presidential appointees, including some that are long-stalled.

It was Cruz who pushed the Senate to cast its first vote on the administration’s policy of suspending the threat of deportation for an estimated four million immigrants living in the country illegally. He lost his attempt Saturday night, 74-22, although Republican leaders have vowed to bring the issue back after the party takes control of the Senate in January.

“If you believe President Obama’s amnesty is unconstitutional, vote yes. If you believe President Obama’s amnesty is consistent with the Constitution, vote no,” he said.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rebutted instantly, saying Cruz was “wrong, wrong, See FUNDS, page A-2

Several students brought food for an English as a Second Language class potluck on Thursday at Kenai Peninsula College Kenai River Campus in Soldotna.

. . . ESL

The reaction to the ESL classes has been overwhelmingly positive.

wrong on several counts,” and even Republicans who oppose Obama’s policy abandoned the Texan.

The spending bill, which cleared the House on Thursday, was the main item left on Congress’ year-end agenda, and exposed fissures within both political parties in both houses.

It faced opposition from Democratic liberals upset about the repeal of a banking regulation and Republican conservatives unhappy that it failed to challenge Obama’s immigration moves.

While the legislation assures funding for nearly the entire government until next fall, it made an exception of the Department of Homeland Security.

Money for the agency will run out on Feb. 27, when Republicans intend to try and force the president to roll back an immigration policy that removes the threat of deportation from millions of immigrants living in the United States illegally.

The legislation locks in spending levels negotiated in

recent years between Republicans and Democrats, and includes a number of provisions that reflect the priorities of one party or the other, from the environment to abortion to the legalization of marijuana in the District of Columbia.

One, which drew vehement objections from the Democrats, would repeal a regulation imposed on banks in the wake of the near economic collapse of 2008. Critics called it a bailout for large financial institutions, but more than 70 House Democrats voted for it previously, and Obama made clear he didn’t view it as a deal-killer.

The pension provision was a bipartisan agreement that opens the door for the first time to benefit cuts for current retirees covered by multi-employer funds in shaky financial condition.

Supporters said it would protect retirement income to the maximum extent possible without also endangering the solvency of the government fund that guarantees multi-employer plans. Critics said it posed a threat to the pension recipients, and that it could also become a precedent for other pensioners.

Immigration was at the heart

of the day’s events in the Senate.

Cruz seized on the issue late Friday night when he tried to challenge the bill. That led swiftly to the unraveling of an informal bipartisan agreement to give the Senate the weekend off, with a vote on final passage of the bill deferred until early this coming week.

That, in turn, led Reid, DNev., to call an all-day Senate session devoted almost exclusively to beginning time-consuming work on confirmation for 13 judicial appointees and 11 nominees to administration posts.

The list included Carolyn Colvin to head the Social Security Administration and Vivek Murthy as surgeon general.

As the day wore on, senators were forced to spend hour after hour on the Senate floor to cast their votes. One, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., sat at her desk qui-

class, because I meet other people who weren’t born and raised here,” Barmetler said. “It helps me talk to other people. It’s nice to hear about other countries.”

Guangyuan Ding, from China, has been attending classes for several months. Ding said that speaking English used to be intimidating, but the teachers have made her more confident. “(The teachers) are great. I really love them,” Ding said. “We are foreigners and they really help us a lot.

They encourage us all the time.”

Not only have the classes made students more confident, they have also allowed them to better understand their community.

“We have more information about the real culture (that we’re living in), which is great,” Ding said.

Recently, KPC was approved to accept international degree seeking students, which, along with the students from ESL classes, will only increase the college’s atmosphere, Taylor said. “(The foreign students) diversify our community and our campus.” Taylor said. “They give us the opportunity to have a more global perspective on the world outside of Soldotna.”

By evening, cocktail hour in the East, strains of Christmas carols could be heard from behind the closed doors of rooms that surround the chamber.

Republicans tried to slow the nomination proceedings, but several voiced unhappiness with Cruz, a potential presidential candidate in 2016.

“I’ve seen this movie before, and I wouldn’t pay money to see it again,” said Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., recalling Cruz’ leading role a year ago in events precipitating a 16-day partial government shutdown that briefly sent GOP poll ratings plummeting. Cruz, in turn, blamed Reid, saying his “last act as majority leader is to, once again, act as an enabler” for the president by blocking a vote on Obama’s policy that envisions work visas for an estimated 5 million immigrants living in the country illegally.

Reid blamed a “small group of Senate Republicans” for the turn of events.

Asked if Cruz had created an opening for the Democrats, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah said, “I wish you hadn’t pointed that out.”

Hatch added, “You should have an end goal in sight if you’re going to do these types of things and I don’t see an end goal other than irritating a lot of people.”

The GOP leader, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, made no public comment on the events, even though Cruz suggested Friday night McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, should not be entirely trusted to keep their pledge to challenge Obama’s immigration policy.

“We will learn soon enough if those statements are genuine and sincere,” Cruz said.

on a Monday - when the sled was stolen from the property sometime over the weekend.

“We were one day late,” Titus said.

Troopers found evidence of the theft approximately three miles away on a dead end road and facts indicated Hibbert was a suspect in the theft, according to the report.

On Tuesday, troopers allege Hibbert assaulted a staff member at Soldotna High School and left the scene in a white 2005 Chevy pickup. Hibbert was pulled over by a trooper on Kobuk Street and found to be in possession of the snowmachine in the back of his truck, according to the report.

Trooper Casey Hershberger with the Criminal Suppression Detail arrived on scene to look at the snowmachine and noticed it had been spray-painted black and the VIN number was missing. Hibbert told troopers the Polaris had been wrecked and rebuilt by the person he purchased it from, a Wasilla man he had met on Craigslist. Hibbert provided a bill of sale with the transaction date of May 24, 2014, according to the report.

In the report Hershberger said he noticed inconsistencies in Hibbert’s statements. Hershberger called the Polaris dealership and was provided with an engine serial number, which matched the number on the certificate of origin for the stolen snowmachine.

Hibbert then admitted stealing the Polaris from Peninsula Powersports by using their skid-steer loader from inside the fence. He also scratched off the VIN number and indicated he altered the sled by damaging it to avoid getting caught.

The damage to the Polaris was estimated at more than $750, according to the report. The snowmachine was seized from the scene pending further investigation and Hibbert’s truck was released to a family member.

Hibbert was arraigned in Kenai District Court Wednesday.

He is currently jailed at Wildwood Pretrial Facility. His next court date is Dec. 19 in Kenai.

munity Church and was a former member of Peninsula Grace Brethren. He enjoyed fishing, photography and traveling.

His family writes, “A gentle giant, Richard John Rohr had a profound impact on the lives of many people. He was a devoted husband, a father by choice, a loving grandpa and a faithful friend. His love for fishing took him from California to Oregon where he met and married the love of his life. He provided a life full of adventure for his family, whether it was a day trip to the coast or a road trip to California, it was sure to be fun.

“His love for travel included bicycling in France, exploring the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, Central America and Israel. One of the highlights for Rich was a summer trip to Guatemala with his son Brent. They volunteered at an Animal Rescue Center, working with parrots, jaguars, and howler monkeys taken away from smugglers.

“An early retirement provided an opportunity to move to Alaska, the ultimate adventure.

Rich never tired of the beauty that is Alaska.

Even as his health failed over the last 5 years he still managed to take hundreds of picture of the moose, caribou, eagles and bear that were his neighbors and the Northern Lights. The move to Alaska also brought Richard into relationship with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He enjoyed the company of his Church Family and the spiritual growth they provided. In his last few weeks of life he was surrounded by friends and family.”

Richard was preceded in death by his father, Adolph “Dutch” Rohr, his mother, Anne Hannah, a brother, William Rohr, and son, Brent Rohr.

Oilers deserve the support of the community “Play ball!”

We’re glad we’ll be hearing those words hollered from home plate at Coral Seymour Memorial Park this season as the Peninsula Oilers, a summer collegiate baseball team, have decided to field a team for 2015 season, despite a severe financial shortfall.

The Oilers have been part of the central Kenai Peninsula community since 1974, when volunteers carved a diamond out of the rough of Kenai. The non-profit organization recruits top collegiate ballplayers to come to Kenai for the summer, and plays in the Alaska Baseball League, facing teams in Anchorage, Chugiak-Eagle River, the Mat-Su and Fairbanks.

The community has been integral to the Oilers’ success from the start, filling the stands for home games and hosting players for the summer. The community has also provided much of the funding for the team as the organization’s charitable gaming — the bingo hall and pull-tab parlor in Old Town Kenai — has been the primary source of revenue over the team’s history.

But revenue from gaming has been down, and the current board of directors admits that the organization has been complacent. The organization is facing significant financial challenges to put a team on the field in 2015, but board members have decided to give it a go.

“It’s better for us to try and fail than to just fail to try,” board president Michael Tice told the Clarion.

To succeed — not just for 2015, but for years to come — the organization will have to return to its roots. It no longer has the luxury of paid staff, but instead will need volunteers to help with everything from putting together a team to cutting the grass. The organization will also be looking for more in the way of sponsorship to meet expenses.

We encourage the community to step up to the plate.

To borrow a baseball analogy, the Oilers can’t wait for a home run to save the season. They’re going to be playing a figurative small ball game — bunting, stealing, hitting behind the runner, emphasizing pitching and defense — to make the season happen. They’ll need contributions from everyone in the batting order.

The Oilers have been a source of community pride for more than 40 years. There’s a great sense of satisfaction in being part of a successful team, whether you’re contributing on the field or in one of the many other roles necessary to make a season happen. We hope the community decides to be part of the lineup.

Quotable ‘Until the threat is real, we’re not going to see probation have the type of success that we want it to have.

Why campus rape victims don’t report

WASHINGTON — Only about 20 percent of campus sexual assault victims go to police, according to a new Justice Department report providing insight into why so many victims choose not to pursue criminal charges.

About one in 10 say they don’t think what happened to them is important enough to bring to the attention of police.

Other reasons they don’t go include the views that it is a personal matter or that authorities won’t or can’t help. One in five said they fear reprisal.

A recent Rolling Stone article that described a gang rape alleged to have occurred at a University of Virginia fraternity brought renewed attention to the issue of campus sexual assault. The magazine later said it couldn’t stand by its reporting. But even before the article’s release, the Obama administration had taken steps to pressure colleges to better treat victims, and Congress has grappled with how best to get colleges and law enforcement to work together on these cases.

Researchers from the department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics used 1995 to 2013 figures from the National Crime Victimization Survey.

Some questions and answers arising from the report’s findings, which were released Thursday.

Why would some victims think the crime was not important enough to contact police?

Victims may be reflecting not their own view of the crime, but how they think it will be seen if they report it, said Laura Dunn, a victim’s rights lawyer and executive director of SurvJustice.

AP News Extra “They are basically suggesting that they know in our society that the only rapes that are taken seriously are those committed by strangers and are significantly violent,” Dunn said.

Some victims view the crime differently if people start blaming them and they, in turn, start to blame themselves, said Scott Berkowitz, executive director of the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, which runs a national sexual assault hotline. Or, because they are in a closed social structure where everyone knows everybody, they feel that reporting the crime would be going against their peer group, he said.

Peter Lake, a law professor at Stetson University College of Law who conducts training for colleges on the topic, said there is a disturbing cultural acceptance of this crime, leading some victims to believe what happened to them is acceptable.

Lake said some students he’s talked to about rape “don’t know what their legal rights are.”

How far we have not come It’s foolish to argue with President Barack Obama’s observation, made during his BET interview about police mistreatment of minorities, that “It’s important to recognize that as painful as these incidents are, we can’t equate what is happening now to what happened 50 years ago.”

“If you talk to your parents, your grandparents,” he continued, “they’ll tell you things are better. Not good, in some cases, but better. The reason it’s important to understand that progress has been made is that it then gives us hope we can make even more progress.”

But all you have to do is read the ugly social-media comments to see that hope tarnished a lot. While his election and reelection show that we’ve made significant improvement in race relations, the openly bigoted vitriol that has defined too much of the reaction to his every move and certainly the substantial imbalance in the authorities’ treatment of whites and people of color show how terribly far we have to go.

It is true that our laws prohibit some of the worst Jim Crow discrimination, but even now, many conservatives have no compunction about trying to turn back the clock — attacking voting rights, for instance.

But setting that aside, study after study confirms that cops treat people of color differently than they do whites. An analysis by the Center for Constitutional Rights submitted during the lawsuit against New

York City’s noxious stop-and-frisk policy determined that between 2005 and 2008, 80 percent of the stops involved blacks and Latinos, who total 53 percent of Gotham’s population. Ten percent involved whites, Bob Franken who total 44 percent of the residents.

In Ferguson, Missouri, while blacks made up less than two-thirds of licensed drivers, they amounted to 86 percent of those who were pulled over for traffic violations. Then they were twice as likely to be searched and arrested than whites were.

Obviously, I’ve cited these particular statistics because New York City and Ferguson are the two most infamous recent cases of the killing of unarmed blacks by white officers who were then not indicted.

But this is not just about those two injustices. The profiling, with its deadly consequences, is a national problem.

Even more insidious is the cavalier attitude of hard-liners like former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who argues that police focus on minorities because “93 percent of blacks in America are killed by other blacks.” That’s what he said on “Meet the Press.” He was citing Bureau of Justice data collected between 1980 and 2008.

course, he did neglect to mention the 84 percent white-on-white tally.

He’s nowhere near the only one who tries to justify a society in which minority parents in particular have to train their male teenagers how to handle themselves when they can’t steer away from hostile cops. How sad is that?

One bit of encouragement can be found in the renewed focus on this problem. Suddenly we are hearing a torrent of stories from black Americans who were innocents, going about their business in a lawful way, who were nevertheless hassled by cops. Some of them are people of accomplishment, but were treated as if they were something less than people.

We have just been reminded of the torture inflicted by the CIA on detainees captured post-9/11 described as a “stain” on America. That’s probably a good word for the remaining blot of racial prejudice.

Hopefully, the protest rising out of these tragedies won’t wither away, like so many others do once the sense of outrage subsides. We can’t let that happen. We have a long way to go, so it’s high time we get up off our laurels and tackle our lingering inequality. Widespread vestiges of bigotry remain, and no matter what our color, we all have a stake in eradicating it.

Letters to the Editor:

If they aren’t going to police, are victims going elsewhere for support or to report the incident?

Fewer than one in five victims said they received assistance from a victim service agency. While victims can find support from someone like a friend or loved one, there is evidence that people who get help quickly after an attack fair better in the long term, Berkowitz said.

It’s unclear from the survey how many victims choose to report the crime to campus authorities rather than police. The survey said a small percentage of victims reported it to officials other than police, but researchers caution against making judgments about a sample that small.

Some victims’ advocates have said victims prefer to have their cases adjudicated by their colleges instead of using the criminal justice system. But there have been complaints of schools poorly handling cases and protecting the school’s image instead of supporting the victim. Plus, while schools can expel a perpetrator, they can’t send that person to prison to prevent repeat offenses.

techniques while we are still at war with an enemy whose techniques include beheading Americans?

Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and her Democratic colleagues say that the CIA lied about their tactics and exceeded their authority while seeking to obtain information from suspected terrorists.

There is a dispute among politicians and intelligence experts as to whether these tactics resulted in any information that was helpful in defending the U.S. from another terrorist attack. In a recent op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal, former CIA Directors Michael Hayden, George J. Tenet and Porter J. Goss claim enhanced interrogation did provide useful information, which ultimately led to finding Osama bin Laden at his hideout in Pakistan. The CIA maintains the tactics, the use of which ended more than seven years ago, prevented new attacks and were responsible for gaining intelligence information from Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Jose Rodriguez Jr. is the former head of the CIA’s National Clandestine Service and author of “Hard Measures: How Aggressive CIA Actions After 9/11 Saved American Lives.” He says, “No matter what the Senate report says, I know it worked.”

ter them from their goal.

In his eagerness to close Guantanamo prison, President Obama has sent six prisoners to Uruguay, of all places. The Uruguayan government says it will treat the men as “refugees” and not monitor their movements.

Justin Fishel and Jennifer Griffin of Fox News.com, spoke with senior defense and intelligence officials, and found that “Of the 620 detainees released from Guantanamo Bay, 180 have returned or are suspected to have returned to the battlefield. Of those 180, sources say 20 to 30 have either joined ISIS or other militants groups in Syria, or are participating with these groups from outside countries. Officials say most of those 20 to 30 are operating inside Syria.”

Adding to the confusion over whether we are in this war to win it, is Hillary Clinton’s stunning remark that we need to “understand” our enemy and even have “empathy” for them. Good to know before we consider electing her president.

There is one enhanced tactic most people might agree should be used — winning this long war. We should commit ourselves to that, defeating those who wish to obliterate us, instead of worrying about whether or not we feel good about ourselves while we’re doing it.

in the 528-page document, which cost more than $40 million to produce, our enemies are bound to be encouraged and even more motivated.

CIA agents are likely Cal Thomas to be targeted. Demonstrations will occur throughout the world by people who enjoy the blessings of freedom without ever having to pay its price. And America will again be diminished in the eyes of some while the Taliban, al-Qaida and ISIS — unrestrained by any laws or rules of engagement — continue to sever heads and kill those, including women and children, who won’t submit to their tyranny.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says the interrogation tactics were reviewed by the Justice Department and were declared legal and that if he had to do it all over again, he would do the same thing.

Ah, but isn’t America better than this, goes the argument by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and others? Don’t we set a bad example when we behave like our enemies?

2 Alaska ferries under construction in Ketchikan KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) — Gov. Bill Walker was on hand Saturday to mark the official start of construction of two new Alaska Class Ferries.

The state Department of Transportation conducted a Laying of the Keels ceremony at Vigor Alaska’s Ketchikan Shipyard to mark the official start of construction.

“This is a historical moment for Alaska,” said Jeremy Woodrow, spokesman for the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities.

“These will be the first state ferries ever built in the state of Alaska and used by the state of Alaska.”

Once complete, the ferries will be the largest vessels ever built in Alaska, Woodrow said.

The boats will ferry passengers and vehicles throughout southeast Alaska once they are completed. Vigor Alaska expects to deliver the two boats in 2018.

At the ceremony, Alaska’s first lady Donna Walker ceremoniously welded her initials into the keel of the boat, a maritime tradition that identifies her as the sponsor of the boat, Woodrow said. Once construction is complete, she’ll break a champagne bottle over the bow to christen the vessel, he added.

sized rockets, which have larger payloads and go into higher orbits.

Lockheed Martin’s proposal calls for modifications to the launch pad so its Athena IIS rocket and other medium-lift rockets can be launched from the site. The goal is to have three launches by 2020.

After the launch pad is reconfigured, it will be able to launch both small- and medium-lift rockets.

The first launch ever from Kodiak in 2001 was a smaller Athena rocket. The payload for the medium-lift Athena IIS is nearly double that of the smaller rocket.

The state agency and Lockheed Martin are expected to hammer out details of an agreement within the next few weeks, but officials said it was important to announce now as some companies are close to making decisions from where to launch rockets.

Alaska Aerospace has been sitting on a $25 million appropriation from the state Legislature to expand to medium launch capability.

Campbell said the project as presented right now would be substantially less than the $21 million request for proposal document, and Lockheed Martin’s presentation puts its

The ferries in the state marine highway system are aging, and the state began planning for a new Alaska Class Ferry.

But in 2012, citing cost overruns, then-Gov. Sean Parnell canceled the plans for the larger Alaska Class Ferry, which had a design for a 350foot boat, in favor of smaller boats.

He ordered a new, smaller design for the Alaska Class Ferry and limited the budget to $120 million for two 280foot boats. The two boats will be steel-hulled, twin-screw, diesel-powered passenger and vehicle ferries.

At the time, Parnell also said

somewhere between the $3 million-$6 million range.

The Lockheed Martin agreement comes after some troubling times for the state agency.

The work to reconfigure the launch pad isn’t expected to interfere with reconstruction efforts after a rocket was detonated last August when it failed. Campbell said he wants the launch pad ready by October for any potential customer to come in and begin the process of a rocket launch.

Cleanup of hazardous materials and metal shards continues four months after military testers detonated a rocket carrying an experimental weapon. The rocket was meant to carry a hypersonic glider into the upper atmosphere to test an experimental Army weapons system. Testers destroyed the rocket after they detected an anomaly.

The Alaska facility has struggled financially, with the Legislature there threatening to cut its funding if it didn’t bring in more business.

The state created the Alaska Aerospace Corp. in 1991 to develop an aerospace sector for Alaska’s economy, and the Kodiak Launch Complex was built to compete with Vandenberg Spaceport in California.

The corporation was able to pay for operations from its launches with federal grants.

But for the past few years, the Alaska corporation had to rely on state subsidies.

his goal was to have “Alaskans build Alaska’s ferries in Alaska.”

Vigor Alaska said it could hire up to 150 shipyard workers on the Ketchikan project.

“This will add four years of maritime workforce to Ketchikan Alaska,” Woodrow said.

“They’ll be working yearround.”

The company already employs 2,300 people at nine locations in Alaska, Washington state and Oregon.

Besides building these two new ferries, Vigor Alaska is performing work on two other Alaska ferries, the Kennicott and the LeConte.

Butler to return as Alaska’s top doctor ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Jay Butler is returning to his job as the state’s top doctor.

Health and Social Services Commissioner Valerie Davidson says in a release that Butler will be both the state’s chief medical officer and director of the Division of Health.

Davidson also announced Jon Sherwood will be deputy commissioner for Medicaid and Health Care Policy.

Both appointments are effective immediately but subject to legislative approval.

Butler was previously the chief medical officer from 2007-09. He left to work for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Before returned to the state position, he was senior director of the Division of Community Health Services at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium in Anchorage.

Sherwood is a 25-year veteran of the state health department.

Prosecutor releases more Ferguson documents

By DAVID A. LIEB Associated Press

A prosecutor released hundreds of pages of additional documents Saturday from the investigation into the police shooting of Michael Brown, including an interview transcript of a friend who initially asserted that he had seen Brown get shot in the back.

St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch said the newly released records were inadvertently excluded from the thousands of pages of other documents made public Nov. 24, when a grand jury decided not to charge Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson for killing Brown.

The freshly publicized documents include a transcript of an interview of Brown’s friend Dorian Johnson conducted by the FBI and county police just four days after the Aug. 9 confrontation in which the white officer shot the black 18-yearold. Previously released forensic evidence showed that Brown was not shot in the back but was struck by bullets in the head, chest and arm.

Johnson’s account to investigators was generally similar to his later grand jury testimony, in which he portrayed Wilson as the aggressor during a struggle that began at the officer’s vehicle and led to a brief chase before Brown’s fatal shooting.

In both his original interview and his Sept. 10 grand jury testimony, which was previously released, Johnson said that Wilson reached out of his vehicle window toward Brown’s throat or shirt. During the ensuring struggle, Johnson said he never saw Brown touch Wilson’s gun.

Wilson told grand jurors that Brown grabbed ahold of his weapon and twisted it toward the officer’s leg. The officer eventually fired his gun from inside the vehicle.

Forensic evidence showed that Brown’s hand was shot at close range. Brown and Johnson then ran.

In his August interview, Johnson initially was adamant

that he had seen Johnson get shot in the back while running.

“It definitely struck him in his back,” Johnson said, later adding: “It caused him to stop.”

Asked by a detective how he knew Brown had been shot in the back, Johnson replied: “If it would’ve missed him, or if he wouldn’t have felt it, I believe he would’ve kept runnin.”

Under further questioning, Johnson later acknowledged that he didn’t see a bullet hit Brown’s back, but he remained adamant that Brown’s back was toward Wilson when he fired a shot.

By almost all witness accounts, Brown turned at some

point to face the officer.

Johnson described Brown’s hands as being raised, one higher than the other. Wilson told grand jurors that one of Brown’s hands was clenched in a fist and the other at his waist as Brown began charging back at Wilson.

As with the previously released grand jury documents, the witness transcripts released Saturday varied in their accounts of Brown’s hands. One witness said Brown’s “hands kinda went up.” Another said Brown’s hands were up briefly but he then ran toward Wilson. Another said Brown threw up his hands and said something that sounded like, “Don’t kill me.”

Among the documents re-

leased Saturday was a witness list, with all of the names of the witnesses whited out. It shows that 62 people testified before the grand jury between Aug. 20 and Nov. 21, including some who appeared multiple times. Some of the people interviewed by federal authorities did not testify before the grand jury.

McCulloch apologized in a written statement for any confusion that may have occurred by failing to initially release all of the interview transcripts.

He said he believes he has now released all of the grand jury evidence, except for photos of Brown’s body and anything that could lead to witnesses being identified.

Mississippi education money gap grows to $1.5B

cent of Mississippi’s 146 school districts have raised property taxes since 2008, the last time lawmakers provided full funding under the state formula, according to an Associated Press review. By law, some districts can’t raise property taxes any higher to fund operations, leaving them even more dependent on state money.

Some districts sued this fall to make the state pay what the districts say they’re owed. Another group is trying to get a funding guarantee written into the state constitution, trying to force lawmakers to provide more money.

State funding was cut as tax revenues plunged during the recession. Critics say instead of fully funding education, law-

makers gave large tax breaks to businesses and chose to fill the state’s savings accounts. Another gap looms in the 2016 budget year. According to early estimates, the state could fall $280 million short again in 2016.

Farmworker children uprooted by California rules

By MARTHA MENDOZA AP National Writer

WATSONVILLE, Calif. — A lifetime of moving has taught Claudia Morales to start packing early, because like many 13-year-olds, her room “is always a mess.”

The hoodies go in her suitcase, but as usual, all her partially completed schoolwork ends up in the trash. Just a week later, Claudia has new notebooks, along with new textbooks, and three bulging suitcases to start unpacking 200 miles away.

She does this twice a year.

This December, thousands of migrant farmworker children are making their annual trek to new schools in California, but they do so also at other times throughout the country. During growing season, their parents rent low-cost housing in federally subsidized labor camps, but state rules mandate that families move at least 50 miles away when the camps close for the winter.

“We have a life we need

to live,” she said. “I like both places, but when I grow up I expect to have good work and buy a house where we can stay permanently.”

Claudia gets straight As at one school, somewhat lower grades at her other. But as years pass and coursework gets more complex, the odds rise against her. Eventually, about 90 percent of kids living in seasonal worker housing drop out of school, according to the San Jose-based nonprofit human rights organization Human Agenda.

At Aptos Junior High School, where Claudia started eighth grade this fall, migrant counselor Juan Alcantar said he has a handful of students who are flunking every class, biding their months before their move, sometimes as far away as Mexico.

“They see themselves as visitors on this campus,” he said.

“They figure, ‘I come from a labor camp next to a dump site. I don’t belong, and I’m leaving soon.’”

A state lawmaker this year tried to change the 50-mile rule, but the bill died in committee.

For Claudia, the cycle continues. Her labor camp is less than an hour drive south of Silicon Valley, where in the past 50 years the region has transitioned from lush orchards and vegetable fields to a global technology hub.

“This is a largely invisible population, but we all should care a whole lot about this,” said Stanford University Professor Amado Padilla, who studies immigration. “Kids who don’t finish school end up being a burden on society. On the flip side, kids who are well-educated end up being the caregivers both personally and economically of the older generation.”

California has 24 seasonal farmworker centers, 1,900 apartments all together, run by the state’s Office of Migrant Housing. The program dates to the 1930s, when the federal government opened migrant labor camps for Dust Bowl refugees.

The idea behind the 50-mile rule was to provide seasonal housing for families who come to an area to work only during

New York SantaCon kicks off with hopes for less naughty behavior NEW YORK (AP) — The annual costumed pub crawl featuring a horde of sloshed Santas on the streets of Manhattan got underway Saturday with a lesson in the First Amendment.

Civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel addressed the SantaCon crowd in Times Square about the government’s right to reasonably regulate an event that New Yorkers have complained has gotten out of hand in past years.

The annual holiday flashmob-meets-party fell this year on the same day as a planned protest over killings by police, prompting organizers to try to rein in the rowdiness.

SantaCon organizers re-

tained Siegel to advise on the do’s and don’ts of public gatherings and instructed participants to stick to bars that welcome them and party inside instead of on the streets.

“It’s more important this year than ever to pace yourself, watch out for your elves and stay safe,” their website warns, adding that bad behavior may mean the ultimate lump of coal: no SantaCon next year.

It’s a sobering message for SantaCon, which has faced mounting pressure from politicians, police and community groups as it has grown from hundreds to thousands of costumed participants in roughly a decade.

Aficionados say SantaCon

is lighthearted communal fun that tweaks the nose of Christmas time consumerism. Participants are urged to bring gifts to hand out or prepare performances, and organizers stress that last year’s event raised about $60,000 for charities.

But some residents see SantaCon as an onslaught of crass Kringles, soused elves and anything-but-grandmotherly Mrs. Clauses. There have been two arrests and 85 summonses for disorderly conduct, open alcohol containers and other offenses during the last two SantaCons, and an online video captured people in Santa suits fighting last year.

picking season.

State officials say that despite a sharp drop-off in the past decade of migrating farmworker families, the seasonal housing should not be occupied year-round and hence unavailable for the next season’s pickers and planters.

“We are not aware of members of families being in jams or having a problem with having to move away,” said Guerdon Stuckey, an assistant deputy director at the state Department of Housing and Community Development. He said some families move from crop to crop and are not looking for permanent housing.

“We’ve met several of these farmworkers, and on the contrary, they’re not only aware of the many affordable housing options, they enjoy this lifestyle,” he said.

Claudia’s family lives in a complex of 50 flimsy — Styrofoam and plywood — prefabricated duplexes built in the late 1960s. Her bedroom window overlooks a small valley,

a county jail and a dump. The rent of about $350 a month is still a lot for Claudia’s dad Juan Morales, who made $9.50 an hour planting strawberry root stocks in November.

Morales — in a large straw hat — joked with nearby planters, all bent at the waist, as loud music blared over the field. But he got serious when asked if Claudia, her brother Jose, 7, and sister Maria, 16, will ever join him. Legally they can start picking at 13.

“I want them to get a good education, I don’t want them working here,” he said.

Claudia started school each fall riding a school bus with other labor camp kids to Aptos Junior High, a buzzing school splashed with murals in a largely affluent community. After Thanksgiving, she moved to Palo Verde Union School in Tulare, a newer campus in a lowincome community.

In the labor camp, Claudia knew just about everybody. “I can walk around with my eyes closed.” In Tulare, her family

shares one room of a mobile home in a gang-ridden neighborhood. Claudia does not go out at night, but she likes it there. She has her own bed near the television where they watch her beloved telenovelas, Spanish language soap operas.

Claudia started physics this fall in her science class. In September, they formed teams to build a roller coaster. She told her teacher she’d be gone before the due date and so she sat that one out, a lucky break, she said.

In Tulare, the science class was studying chemistry.

“Who remembers what a molecule is?” asked teacher Kevin Meneses on her first day. “If I have two or more of a different type of atom stuck together, what do I have?”

Hands shot up. Students called out. Claudia was still.

“I just listen, I write it down, but I don’t raise my hand because I have no idea what they’re asking about,” she said, shrugging. “I just sit there.”

the district hires replacements, it tends to choose rookies expressly because they are cheap.

Administrators said the district chose to retain as many teaching slots as possible by forgoing new books.

“If we buy textbooks, we’re not going to have the teachers,” said Glenn Carlisle, a former Durant superintendent now serving as a district consultant.

Durant is violating a state law requiring every student have a book or electronic device to take home in every subject.

State Auditor Stacey Pickering said the “vast majority” of districts don’t comply.

School districts have tried to make up the gap by raising local property taxes. From 2008 to 2013, local property tax collections rose by $232 million. That allowed a small increase in spending on operations, but still fell $231 million short of inflation.

About one in six districts has reached Mississippi’s cap on taxes for operations, putting the emphasis on cuts.

The number of teachers shrank by 6 percent statewide — about 2,000 teachers — from 2008 to 2013. Teaching assistants, once mandatory through third grade, have become increasingly rare.

UN climate change discussion stalled

By KARL RITTER Associated Press

LIMA, Peru — Already well into overtime, U.N. climate talks reached a standstill Saturday as developing countries rejected a draft deal they said would allow rich countries to shirk their responsibilities to fight global warming and pay for its impacts.

The main goal for the twoweek session in Lima was relatively modest: Reach agreement on what information should go into the pledges that countries submit for a global climate pact expected to be adopted next year in Paris.

But even that became complicated as several developing nations rejected a draft decision they said blurred the distinction between what rich and poor countries can be expected to do.

“We have deadlock,” Chinese negotiator Liu Zhenmin told the conference, siding with Malaysia and other developing countries that rejected the draft.

U.S. representative Todd Stern said he was open to tweaking the language, but warned against lengthy negotiations, noting that the conference had already passed its scheduled Friday close.

“Failing to produce the decision before us will be seen as a serious breakdown,” which could put the Paris agreement and the entire U.N. process at risk, Stern said.

Developed countries want the pledges to focus on emissions cuts, while developing nations also want to see commitments of financial support.

Some small island states at risk of being flooded by rising seas also complained the draft made no mention of a “loss and dam-

age” mechanism agreed upon in last year’s talks in Poland.

“We need a permanent arrangement to help the poorest of the world,” said Ian Fry, negotiator for the Pacific Island nation of Tuvalu.

Meanwhile, top carbon polluter China and other major developing countries opposed plans for a review process that would allow the pledges to be compared against one another before Paris.

Though negotiating tactics always play a role, virtually all disputes in the U.N. talks reflect the wider issue of how to divide the burden of fixing the planetary warming that scientists say results from human activity, primarily the burning of oil, coal and natural gas.

Historically, Western nations are the biggest emitters. Currently, most CO2 emissions are coming from developing countries as they grow their economies and lift millions of people out of poverty.

During a brief stop in Lima on Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said fixing the problem was “everyone’s responsibility, because it’s the net amount of carbon that matters, not each country’s share.”

According to the U.N.’s scientific panel on climate change, the world can pump out no more than about 1 trillion tons of carbon to have a likely chance of avoiding dangerous levels of warming. It already has spent more than half of that carbon budget as emissions continue to rise, driven by growth in China and other emerging economies.

Scientific reports say climate impacts are already happening and include rising sea levels, intensifying heat waves and shifts in weather patterns causing floods in some areas and droughts in others.

Around the World Nigerians win back towns from Islamic extremists MUBI, Nigeria — With a military escort instead of the usual pomp, the Emir of Mubi was reinstalled Friday in his palace, where until recently flew the black-and-white flag of Nigeria’s Islamic extremists, Boko Haram.

An army tank now guards Mubi’s town gate, fortified with sandbags, as residents return from the mountain hideouts where they hid while their city was held for more than a month by the militants.

After weeks of setbacks, Nigeria’s military, including newly deployed Special Forces, have recaptured some cities and towns that had been held

by Boko Haram.

Soldiers won back the town helped by air raids, traditional hunters armed with guns and spears, and vigilantes carrying clubs prickling with nails and other homemade weapons.

Russia reaches out to Europe’s far-right parties

By GEORGE JAHN and ELAINE GANLEY Associated Press

VIENNA — A Russian loan to France’s National Front. Invitations to Moscow for leaders of Austria’s Freedom Party.

Praise for Vladimir Putin from the head of Britain’s anti-European Union party.

As the diplomatic chill over Ukraine deepens, the Kremlin seems keener than ever to enlist Europe’s far-right parties in its campaign for influence in the West, seeking new relationships based largely on shared concern over the growing clout of the EU. Russia fears that the EU and NATO could spread to countries it considers part of its sphere of influence. And it has repeatedly served notice that it will not tolerate that scenario, most recently with its Ukraine campaign.

Europe’s right-wing and populist parties, meanwhile, see a robust EU as contrary to their vision of Europe as a loose union of strong national states.

And some regard the EU as a toady to America.

The fact that many of Moscow’s allies are right to farright reflects the Kremlin’s full turn. Under communism, xenophobic nationalist parties were shunned Now they are embraced as partners who can help further Russia’s interests and who share key views — advocacy of traditional family values, belief in authoritarian leadership, a distrust of the U.S. and support for strong law-and-order measures.

Statements by leading critics of the EU, or euroskeptics, reflect their admiration of the Kremlin.

National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen told The Associated Press this month that France and Russia “have a communality of interest.”

Daughter Marine Le Pen, party president and a strong contender for the French presidency in 201å, envisions a Europe stretching “from the Atlantic to the Urals” — a “pan-European union” that includes Russia and is supported by other

right-wing parties.

Nationalist Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban perceives prevailing winds as “blowing from the East” and sees in Russia an ideal political model for his concept of an “illiberal state.” The head of Britain’s euroskeptic Independence Party, Nigel Farage, has said Putin is the world leader he most admires — “as an operator, but not as a human being.”

Russia offers friendship with a world power. Le Pen and other party officials visit Moscow repeatedly, and Russian guests at the party’s congress this month included Andrei Isayev, a deputy speaker of the Russian parliament’s lower house.

Among other Moscow regulars from euroskeptic parties across Europe are members of Hungary’s anti-Semitic Jobbik and Austria’s Freedom Party.

Jobbik parliamentarian Bela Kovacs — his detractors call him “KGBela” — is under investigation in Hungary for allegedly spying for Russia. While in Moscow recently, Freedom Party firebrand Johann

Gudenus accused the European Union of kowtowing to “NATO and America” and denounced the spreading influence of the “homosexual lobby” in Europe.

Shunned at home by the establishment, many on the political fringes are eager for the chance to hobnob with Russian powerbrokers, gain air time on RT television, Russia’s international answer to CNN, or to act as monitors when Moscow seeks a fig leaf to legitimize elections in recently annexed Crimea.

For them, “the benefit is that they can receive diplomatic support from a very high level from a superpower,” says Peter Kreko of Hungary’s Political Capital research institute.

Financial rewards are also incentives. Orban just signed a nuclear-reactor deal with Moscow. France is abuzz over the National Front’s recent 9 million euro loan from a Russian bank owned by a reputed Putin confidant.

Marine Le Pen describes it as “a perfectly legal loan that we will reimburse perfectly le-

gally,” saying the party turned to Russia after being rejected

by Western banks.

But the transaction has galvanized fears among the National Front’s opponents of increased Kremlin influence, with the Socialists calling for an inquiry.

Links between Russia and the right predate the Ukraine conflict. A 2005 U.S. diplomatic cable made public by Wikileaks noted close ties between Bulgaria’s extreme-right Ataka party and the Russian Embassy in Sofia. And Joerg Haider, the late leader of Austria’s Freedom Party, helped powerful Russian businessmen with residency permits more than a decade ago in exchange for what Austrian authorities now suspect were close to 1 million euros worth of bribes.

Nor was Moscow’s search for allies in Europe always restricted to anti-EU figures.

Shekhovtsov sees Putin’s friendships with German exChancellor Gerhard Schroeder and Italy’s former Premier Silvio Berlusconi as useful for the Kremlin before foreign policy

differences that culminated in the Ukraine crisis made the Russian leader unwelcome in most European capitals.

Now the diplomatic gloom is settling in, and Moscow may have few alternatives to courting Europe’s EU malcontents in hopes that their strong domestic and EU election showings this year will help further its own interests.

Of the 24 right-wing populist parties that took about a quarter of the European Parliament’s seats in May elections, Political Capital lists 15 as “committed” to Russia.

Many owe their popularity to voter perceptions that EUfriendly parties in power are to blame for the continent’s economic woes — a view that could grow if the downturn persists.

“What Russia is saying is, ‘It’s fine for you to be the way you are,’” says analyst Melik Kaylan, in a study for the Institute of Modern Russia. “’You’re authoritarian. We’re authoritarian. Let’s work together against the West.’”

Islamic State group shoots down Iraqi helicopter

By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA and BASSEM MROUE Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Islamic State group militants shot down an Iraqi military helicopter, officials said Saturday, killing the two pilots onboard and raising fresh concerns about the extremists’ ability to attack aircraft amid ongoing U.S.-led coalition airstrikes.

The attack happened late Friday in the Shiite holy city of Samarra, about 95 kilometers (60 miles) north of Baghdad. A senior Defense Ministry

official told The Associated Press the Sunni militants used a shoulder-fired rocket launcher to shoot down the EC635 helicopter on the outskirts of the city.

An army official corroborated the information. Both spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren’t authorized to speak to journalists.

The EC635, built by Airbus Helicopters, is used for transportation, surveillance and combat.

The militants shot down at least two other Iraqi military helicopters near the city of

Beiji in October. Some fear the militants may have captured ground-to-air missiles capable of shooting down airplanes when they overran Iraqi and Syrian army bases this summer.

European airlines including Virgin Atlantic, KLM and Air France, U.S. carrier Delta Air Lines and Dubai-based Emirates changed their commercial

flight plans over the summer to avoid Iraqi airspace.

The Islamic State group holds about a third of Iraq and neighboring Syria in its selfstyled caliphate.

In Syria, meanwhile, an activist group and a jihadi website said the Islamic State group’s police force beheaded four men in the central province of Homs for blasphemy.

K

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the four were beheaded Friday in the province’s east, without elaborating.

A jihadi website said the “Islamic police in the state of Homs” carried out a court sentence against the four in the presences of onlookers. Grisly photos posted on the website showed each of the four blind-

folded men kneeling, their hands tied behind their backs, as a masked man in a black uniform hit their necks with a cleaver.

The Islamic State group governs its territory according to its radical, violent interpretation of Shariah law. It has carried out other mass killings and beheadings, often recorded and posted online.

Johnson, Carstens pin down crowns Homer’s Harrington wins in initial girls tourney

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

A trio of Peninsula athletes claimed a Class 1-2-3A state wrestling crown under the glare of the spotlight in the Bartlett High School gym Saturday night, but all three came to earn the championship under vastly different circumstances.

The Nikiski Bulldogs earned two state titles on the boys side, while the Homer Mariners nabbed one on the girls side — for the first time ever.

scoring 224.5 points that topped the 190 that runner-up Bethel notched. Houston finished third with 132.5 points, while Nikiski took fourth with 121.5. Homer grabbed eighth with 69 points.

For the first time ever, a separate girls state wrestling tournament was held in conjunction with the boys.

Homer had both of its female entrants face off for a state title Saturday — first-year grappler Alex Moseley in the 98-pound final and four-year veteran Heather Harrington in the 220-pound final. Ultimately, Harrington walked away victorious to become one of eight trailblazing girls champions.

The Kenai River Brown Bears lost 3-0 to the host Minnesota Wilderness on Saturday to see their pointless streak stretch to five games.

All five of those games have come during the Midwest swing of a 13-game road trip.

The Brown Bears now have a holiday break before resuming their season at the Keystone (Pennsylvania) Ice Miners on Dec. 30.

“We look forward to getting back on the ice at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex.”

Nikolaevsk nabs 2nd at Mixed Six Staff report

The Nikolaevsk volleyball team lost 3-2 to Gustavus on Saturday in the Mixed 6 state championship match at Dimond High School in Anchorage.

The scores were 20-25, 25-21, 25-15, 24-26 and 15-12.

“We were the runner-up champions. That championship is eluding me,” said Nikolaevsk coach Bea Klaich, who also coaches the girls basketball team that lost 43-39 to Cook Inlet Academy in the Class 1A final at the 2013 state basketball tournament.

Despite the loss, Klaich is happy with the progress of the program. This is the sixth year for mixed volleyball, which puts three girls and three boys on the court, at Nikolaevsk.

Last year, the Warriors were fourth in state.

“This year was the second trip to state,” Klaich said. “The kids

were really excited about it and had fun, but couldn’t quite get that championship.”

Klaich also gave a lot of credit to Gustavus.

“They have some big hitters,” she said. “We missed some serves that really hurt a lot. They really pounded the ball at us and the kids played good defense.”

Nikolaevsk’s Felemon Molodih, a junior, was the defensive player of the tournament, while juniors Jonah Fefelov and Serafima Kalugin were all on the all-tournament team.

“I’m proud of the kids,” Klaich said. “They put it all out there.

It’s going to be a quick transition to basketball.”

Nikolaevsk had advanced to the final with a 25-16, 25-10 and 25-19 victory over Scammon Bay in the Friday quarterfinal and a 25-20, 20-25, 25-20 and 25-19 victory over Nunamiut in the Friday semifinal.

SoHi, South skate to dramatic tie Stars lose to East; Kenai drops games to East, South

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Soldotna head coach Derek Urban does not have the hockey program’s first victory over South, but he does have a shining example of what happens when the Stars play with energy and within their systems.

The Stars tied the six-time and defending state-champion Wolverines 2-2 on Friday in a riveting nonconference affair at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. With the tie, SoHi put a three game sweep in the Valley last weekend behind it.

“This was a huge experience,” Urban said. “After the way we played last week, it shows the kids they can hang with just about anybody if they stay within the system and play with urgency.”

The great thing about sports is one never knows when a great game will break out. A nonconference game between South (7-3-1) and SoHi (55-1) probably wouldn’t have been the first pick on many people’s list, but this baby had it all — great saves, late-game dramatics and clean, skilled, end-to-end play that resulted not only in a tie, but in 33 shots for both sides.

Cooper, Fox notch pursuit victories Staff report

The Soldotna and Kenai Central skiing teams got in a pursuit, after all.

The two central Peninsula skiing squads were supposed to head to Anchorage for the Lynx Loppett, a two-day pursuit race, but when that didn’t happen, the squads stayed home and relied on the deft trail grooming at Tsalteshi Trails.

Kenai’s Travis Cooper and Soldotna’s Sadie Fox were the winners of the Tsalteshi Lynx event.

“We’re very happy to get this in,” Soldotna coach Dan Harbison said. “Even though it’s not the best kind of conditions, and best kind of terrain, and we didn’t get to ski with all the people we were planning on skiing with.”

Friday was a five-kilometer classic race, covering the Wolverine and Porcupine loops once. Saturday was a 10-kilo-

meter freestyle for the varsity, covering the Wolverine and Porcupine twice.

Both Cooper and Fox were superior on both days. Friday, Cooper did his classic racing in 13 minutes, 4 seconds, while Fox finished in 16:04.

Kenai’s Jordan Theisen, at 13:26, and Kenai’s Addison Gibson, at 16:52, were second on Friday.

Saturday, Cooper covered 10 kilometers in 25:07, while Theisen was right behind at 25:46. Fox finished her skating in 28:42, while Kenai’s Alex Bergholtz was next on the list at 30:10.

Cooper won with an overall time of 38:11, while Theisen was next at 39:12 and Kenai’s James Butler was third at 39:34.

Fox’s winning total was 44:46, while Gibson was next at 47:07 and Bergholtz was Photo by Kelly Sullivan/Peninsula Clarion third at 47:30.

It was the type of game in which the third period and overtime had a few supporters from each squad pacing nervously, whether it be in the area above the bleachers or a viewing area next to the glass.

South is the lone bigschools program that Soldotna has never beaten, and it looked like that would change when the Stars turned a 1-0 deficit entering the third period into a 2-1 advantage entering the final minutes of play.

But with 1 minute, 49 seconds left, South coach Steve Belde called timeout and circled the wagons for one more

charge. The Wolverines were able to earn a tripping penalty on the Stars with just 11 seconds left in the game. Naturally, South also pulled the goalie for a 6-on-4 advantage in the final seconds.

SoHi’s Toma Johnson won the big faceoff to the corner, but the potential game-winning clearing attempt smacked a South player right in the helmet. John Matson pounced on the puck and slid it in front of the net, where Daniel Ramsey made a move to beat SoHi goalie Billy Yoder with just one second glowing on the clock.

Soldotna cagers sweep Eagles

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

A pair of revamped Soldotna basketball squads took the court Friday night but still came away with victories to open the season.

The SoHi girls topped nonconferenece Class 1A opponent Cook Inlet Academy 3724, while the SoHi boys used a monster third quarter to oust CIA 75-38.

With a chunk of starting seniors leaving both SoHi squads from last year, an infusion of former Skyview players joining, and the change in head coaching positions, the Stars are sporting a different look.

“We’re a very explosive team,” said Mark Tuter, the new head coach of the boys. Tuter spent many previous years as the girls head coach before taking the role of an assistant on the boys side the last several

seasons.

“Yesterday was the first day where I thought our offense really clicked, in practice,” Tuter said. “But sometimes against the zone, if you don’t hit that outside shot, it makes it a little more difficult.”

In the boys game, SoHi senior Joe Weltzin — a 6-foot-3 transfer from Washington — led the Stars with 18 points, while fellow senior Nate Spence added 15 as well.

“Our goal this year is to make state, so every practice and game is set toward that,” Spence said. “The last two years we’ve lost in the third-place (region tournament) game, we’ve come within a couple points of making it.”

Spence and Weltzin played big roles in helping the Stars distance themselves from the Eagles in the third quarter.

rington said matter-of-factly.

“Most girls don’t have the courage to go out there and do what we do, and seeing all the girls in the locker room getting weighed in, it feels amazing.”

Harrington secured the state title with a pin of Buckland’s Gillian Foxglove with just two seconds remaining in the first round.

“One of my coaches told me, it’s not nerves, it’s adrenaline,” Harrington said about the prematch jitters. “It’s not so scary when you put it like that.”

Homer coach Chris Perk said that for so many years, girls like Harrington and Moseley were somewhat on the “outskirts of the sport.”

“Looking at (Harrington), she’s been smiling all weekend,” Perk said. “She just feels like the sport has accepted her now.”

On the boys side, Nikiski junior Nathan Carstens, following in the footsteps of his father, Dan, claimed the 160-pound title with a dramatic late rally over Ketchikan’s T. McBurnette, clinching the match with a takedown with seven seconds left to score a 9-8 win.

Dan Carstens never won a state championship in high school, but found success later in college, winning a 177-pound national title while wrestling at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Washington, in 1995.

Carstens said watching his son win Saturday night was special, and added that when he won his college belt, he came back from a 6-2 deficit to do so, while Nathan came back from 6-1 heading into the third period.

“Winning one myself was special, but it’s even better watching your own son do it,” the elder Carstens said.

Nathan — who ended the season with a 32-3 record — said trying to match his father with a wrestling title gave him plenty of motivation, as well as knowing that his grandparents were also watching the match from the stands, but seeing teammates Tyler Handley and TJ Cox each come up just short of a championship earlier in the evening fueled him as well.

“This is the proudest moment I’ve ever felt,” Carstens said. “Watching my other team-

mates wrestle motivated me to get the win, and I had a lot of butterflies in my stomach, but as soon as you step on the mat, they go away.”

After scoring the crucial two points on a takedown, Nathan said the last seven seconds “felt like an hour.”

“It felt so awesome when I got that,” Carstens said. “I just had to hold him there for those last seconds.”

Nikiski coach Adam Anders said even while Carstens was trailing, he never lost hope.

“I know Nathan, I know what he’s capable of doing,” Anders said. “We saw him begin to chip away at the lead and claw his way back. You can’t help but get excited.”

After Carstens, it wasn’t long before junior Luke Johnson got the chance to claim his second state high school title, this time doing so in the 220-pound class.

Unlike last year’s 195-pound final, however, which was over in under a minute, Saturday’s final went the distance, but Johnson still dominated en route to a 9-1 victory over Kotzebue’s Stephen Hyatt.

“It feels great,” Johnson said. “I think it’s a testament to the coaches, we have great coaches. The athletes produce from all their teaching.”

The win also clinched a second consecutive undefeated season for Johnson, who finished 2014 up with a pristine 27-0 mark.

After grabbing a 2-0 lead after the first round, Johnson extended it to 5-0 after two rounds, getting a pair of takedowns. The only moment of hesitation that Johnson showed nearly cost him points, as an early hiccup in the second round allowed Hyatt to get an advantage over Johnson on the edge of the mat, but the referee called both competitors out of bounds before Hyatt could get a takedown.

“I was just trying to work stuff out, but he was pretty strong on the bottom,” Johnson said. “I was trying to get him to do something so I didn’t have to wait for him to make a mistake. Just trying to apply the pressure.”

Johnson also had motivation elsewhere. Two years ago as a freshman, Johnson lost the 195-pound state title to his older brother, Lincoln. Since then, Luke has flourished on the mat, using an aggressive and hardhitting style to capture victo-

ries. Johnson said that he still talks with Lincoln — who currently plays college football — and receives worthy advice from him.

“I learned a lot (against Lincoln in 2012), he was my sparring partner that year,” Luke said. “It kind of woke me up, like if I could compete with him, a two-time state champion, I could compete with anyone.”

Anders said Johnson has shown an “unusual level of maturity for someone his age.”

“Every time Luke steps onto the mat, you know this kid is going to be mentally prepared,” Anders said. “I don’t know what to tell him because he’s always ready.”

The Bulldogs had two other grapplers compete for state titles Saturday, as TJ Cox and Tyler Handley worked their way into their respective weight class finals, but both fell short in valiant efforts.

Cox used an escape to tie his match up at one point apiece just 25 seconds into the third and final round in the 120-pound final, which ultimately sent the match into a one-minute overtime period. However, it only took Bethel’s Gage Hoffman 17 seconds to score a takedown and secure the victory.

“He wrestled a really solid match,” Anders said. “He’s super dedicated to this sport, so it was a hard loss because I know how bad he wanted it and worked for it.”

In the 152-pound final, Handley scored the opening point with an escape in the second round, but Spencer Woods of Kotzebue answered with a takedown early in the third round that propelled him to the title. Handley ended the season

Homer competes at Lars Spurkland Scramble With the cancellation of the Lynx Loppett due to poor snow conditions at Kincaid Park, the Lars Spurkland Scramble was held Saturday at Service. Since Homer was already in Anchorage, the Mariners competed at the race.

Spurkland, president of the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage, died Friday morning at the age of 39 due to a ruptured aneurysm that caused cranial hemorrhaging.

The boys did an eight-kilometer skate. For Homer, Hoxie Parks was 49th in 22:34, Jacob Davis was 50th in 22:47 and Tadhg Scholz was 53rd in 23:02.

The girls also skied eight kilometers. For Homer, Rachel Ellert was 29th in 24:34, Aspen Daigle was 36th in 25:15, Sara Wolf was 38th in 25:27, Audrey Russell was 40th in 25:36 and Mariah Vantrease was 46th in 26:31.

“He doesn’t have anything to hang his head about,” Anders said. “He’s a great kid, can’t ask anymore out of him.”

For Cox, Handley and Carstens, it was their first time ever competing in a state championship final.

Anders also mentioned that Jon McCormick put on an impressive tournament Friday, only to be sorted into the 195-pound consolation bracket with a semifinal loss to eventual champion Nate Fousel of Ketchikan.

“They left it all out there, we did everything we’ve asked of them,” Anders said. “That’s all we can ask for.”

Voznesenka’s Gavril Kalugin also scored points over the weekend, finishing fourth after losing to eventual champ Emery Booshu of Nome in the semifinals. Kalugin lost the thirdplace match to Hunter Boyer of Thunder Mountain 5-1.

Seward’s only points came from Matthew Morris in the 170-pound class. Morris ended up going 2-2 over the weekend, including a first-round pin over Voznesenka’s Michael Kusnetsov.

Mariota collects Heisman Trophy NEW YORK (AP) — Marcus Mariota wrote it all down, every word of his Heisman Trophy acceptance speech. It was a good thing, too, because getting through it might have been tougher than sprinting away from a linebacker or tossing a touchdown pass for Oregon’s understated star.

The junior quarterback became the Ducks’ first Heisman winner going away Saturday night, capping a three-year climb to college football’s most prestigious individual award.

“I’m humbled to be standing here today,” Mariota said moments after he was announced as the winner.

Mariota isn’t a bigger talker, but he steadily worked through his speech, thanking his teammates, teachers, friends and his home state of Hawaii. He finally hit a snag when it came time to thank his mother and father. He needed to take two deep breaths and still he got choked up.

“I had to give thanks to so many people because where I

am today, it’s all do to all those people,” Mariota said later. “It’s hard not to get emotional. It’s been a long journey. My emotions got the best of me.”

A pinpoint passer with widereceiver speed, Mariota came into this season as the favorite to win the 80th Heisman and delivered a performance that turned the presentation ceremony at a theater in Times Square into a foregone conclusion.

Mariota had twice as many points (2,534) as second-place finisher Melvin Gordon (1,250), the record-breaking running back from Wisconsin. The other finalist, Alabama receiver Amari Cooper, was third.

Mariota received the second-highest percentage of possible points (90.92) in Heisman history, behind only Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith, who had 91.63 in 2006. Southern California tailback Reggie Bush received 91.77 percent of possible points in 2005, but his victory was later vacated for violating NCAA rules.

Navy wins again

BALTIMORE (AP) — The game was over, and it was time for Navy to celebrate its 13th straight victory over Army.

After the Midshipmen stood respectfully for Army’s alma mater, defensive ends Paul Quessenberry and Will Anthony hoisted Ken Niumatalolo on their shoulders to give the winningest football coach in Navy history a free ride in the wake of a 17-10 triumph Saturday.

Niumatalolo (56-35) broke a tie with George Welsh for most wins at Navy. He also became the first to win his first seven games against Army (4-8).

Asked about his awkward jaunt aboard the two players, Niumatalolo said, “I tried to get down. I have so much respect for Army, I didn’t want to upstage anyone.”

The streak remained intact

because of Navy’s unrelenting defense and quarterback Keenan Reynolds’ versatility.

After Army turned a blocked punt into a touchdown in the first quarter, the Midshipmen used the passing of Reynolds to pull even at halftime. Navy (75) then took a 10-7 lead before Reynolds scored from the 1 with 12:07 left to put the Mids in control.

hind the Minnesota Magicians.

The Wilderness move to 17-7-4 and are in second in the Midwest.

“It hasn’t all come together yet, but we feel if they keep working it will,” Beauparlant said. “The reality of it is we are three points out of a playoff spot with a game in hand at the halfway point.”

After a first period with no scoring or penalties, things picked up later in

. . . Hoops Continued from page B-1

halftime, Soldotna scored 16 unanswered points midway through the third frame to boost its lead to 27.

Spence kick-started the spurt with two consecutive buckets off of turnovers, and Weltzin brought the energy up in the gym with a two-handed dunk, also off a CIA turnover.

“I think it kind of started with our defense,” Spence said.

“A lot of it started with our runouts, Joe had a big dunk there that got us going, and then it’s just a cycle that keeps going.”

Timmy Smithwick led CIA with 16 points, 11 of those coming in the second quarter.

Smithwick’s effort was part of a 16-4 run in the quarter that left CIA trailing by a mere five points with under a minute to go before the half.

However, SoHi received two jumpers from seniors Tim Duke and Matt Trammell in the final 30 seconds that put the lead back to nine.

“We had cut it to five, but I knew it would be tough to maintain it that whole game,” said CIA coach Justin Franchino. “What killed us in the first half was offensive rebounding.

They got 14 offensive boards and got a lot of second-chance points.

“They had 15 guys basically they were platooning, and we didn’t.”

The Eagles cut the lead to 38-27 with 5:06 remaining in the third quarter, but from there, the home team reigned supreme. Several costly turnovers by a worn-out CIA bunch led to points by Spence, Weltzin, Drew Fowler, Dylan Kuntz and Duke.

Franchino and Tuter echoed each other and said the key difference in the second half was the depth of the team teams.

CIA shared a bench of no more than eight players, while SoHi featured a full bench of about

. . . Puck Continued from page B-1

“The hockey gods were on our side,” Belde said.

After doing so many things right on the play, Urban could only shake his head and smile at what went wrong.

“That clearing attempt went right off the guy’s helmet,” he said. “It’s just one of those things. That break went against us.”

The Buffalo Wild Wings ending to regulation did give fans an eight-minute overtime, with the cat-on-a-hot-tin-roof play of Yoder and South netminder Jeremy Swayman delivering a draw.

Yoder’s best work came just 28 seconds into extra time, when Dyllan Beloy was denied on a point-blank opportunity. With 2:32 to play, SoHi captain and sniper Ty Fenton had a clean rip right in front of Swayman, but he stood strong. Swayman also cleaned up several scrums right on his doorstep with just over a minute left to preserve the tie.

“There was great goaltending on both ends of the ice,” Belde said.

The evening started rather uneventfully with a quick first period. Things livened up in the second when Swayman denied Levi Henlsey on a breakaway at the 10:24 mark, then Yoder made a ripping glove save when Ben Trujillo redirected a centering pass.

“Yoder did what Yoder does,” Urban said. “He kept us in the game when he had to.”

With just 48 seconds left in the second, South got the upper hand when Cameron Foraker let fly from just inside the blue line and the puck weaved its way through traffic and into the back of the net.

But Soldotna didn’t go away,

‘It hasn’t all come together yet, but we feel if they keep working it will. The reality of it is we are three points out of a playoff spot with a game in hand at the halfway point.’

— Kenai River head coach Geoff Beauparlant the second period when Alex Toscano scored for the Wilderness with 5:02 left. Darian Romanko added a powerplay goal with 2:47 left in the second.

Beauparlant said the long scoreless stretch was key. He said the Bears had

13. When Tuter began substituting players in for starters, fatigue bit the Eagles.

“We roll about 10 or 12 deep,” Tuter said. “That second group came in, and they are smaller guards. They came in and did a great job.”

A smaller run of 10 straight points by SoHi put the game away early in the fourth quarter.

In the girls game, Soldotna similarly used a third-quarter charge to take a lead, then held on for the win with smart play in the fourth.

SoHi senior Hayley Ramsell led the Stars with 11 points, while fellow senior teammate Kelsey Jackson added seven.

CIA was led by Ashleigh Hammond, who scored nine second-half points en route to 10 total. Teammate Danielle Hills added eight.

Former Skyview girls coach Kyle McFall turned out a win in his debut as the SoHi girls coach, and said that while there is room for improvement, there is also much of which to be proud.

“I think we had some lapses tonight defensively and offensively, but it’s early, so we can grow from that,” McFall said.

“This team has a lot of potential to be great defensively. We’ve just got to learn our systems.”

Kenny Leaf, head coach of the coed soccer team at CIA, coached his first game as a basketball coach Friday, and said the biggest challenge was learning how to react to different situations on court.

“I’m so glad to have some of my assistants in my back pocket,” Leaf said. “For me, this is a big learning experience.”

Along with Leaf, former player Nicole Moffis assisted on the bench, along with Franchino.

“We’ve gotta take care of the ball better,” Leaf said. “The girls know their offensive sets and defensive sets, and offense was our Achilles’ heel tonight.

It was just tough getting shots.”

After a sluggish start by cashing in with just six seconds left on a power play at 12:28 in the third. Trevor Witthus slid the puck across the ice to Justice Miller at the point. Miller’s shot was tipped in by Fenton for a goal.

“That was a nice deflection on the shot from the point,” Urban said. “That’s another thing we’ve been working on in practice.”

Numerous chances to break the tie followed. Yoder turned back a 2-on-1 at 7:25, while Swayman didn’t yield to breakaways at 11:04 and 7:45. On the power play at 6:03, Miller crept in from the point and cracked a shot off the pipe.

At 4:09, Coel Nelson showed good patience in waiting to circle behind the net before dumping a backhand out front that Johnson finished to set up the final-minute dramatics.

“As a coach, you don’t have much time to enjoy a game like this,” Belde said. “You’re too worried about trying to tie it up in the last minute.”

East 6, Kenai 2 The young Kardinals have learned to win. Now they have to learn how to respond to a win.

The Kards (1-9) got their first win of the season Tuesday, but coach Mike Tilly said the team has to find consistency.

The Thunderbirds (2-10) took advantage of that Friday at the sports complex.

“Our performance in Homer was much better than our performance tonight,” Tilly said.

“Our younger players have to understand how to prepare to play good, quality high school hockey in every game.”

In the first period, East’s Jack Reynolds and Marshall Walsh staked the Thunderbirds to a 2-0 lead.

“I really think we came out

two power plays during that time and did not cash in.

“The difference was special teams,” he said. “They scored one power-play goal, and we had two opportunities when it was 0-0.”

both teams, SoHi ran off 11 unanswered points in the second quarter to bolster its lead to 154. In that stretch, every bucket or free-throw point was scored by a different player.

After taking a 15-6 lead into halftime, McFall said his players began to execute more efficiently and used better ball distribution.

“We talked about slowing down in the half court, and getting better looks,” McFall said.

“We weren’t making smart decisions, we were kind of passing and watching.

“In the second half we started passing and getting in the lanes, and getting open shots.”

After Hammond rolled in a layup just 20 seconds into the

second half that cut the deficit to seven points, Ramsell answered with a pair of jumpers that quickly put SoHi back up by 11. After three quarters, the Stars led 27-11.

kind of flat,” Tilly said. “That has to do with consistency and preparation, both mental and physical.

“We would have liked to have the first period back.”

Just a few minutes into the second, Tarini Tosi made it 3-0 for East.

But then the Thunderbirds were slowed by penalties, taking a five-minute major on a checking from behind and also a hook that gave the Kards 55 seconds of 5-on-3.

“Our guys sometimes play too hard,” East assistant Sean Curry said. “We’re having too many hitting from behind penalties. We have to channel our energy a little better.”

But East goalie Lane Fox was equal to the task of keeping the Kards off the board during the power play.

“It’s always disappointing when you can’t take advantage of an opportunity like that,” Tilly said. “You just have to regroup and go out even strength.”

At the 12:49 mark, Levi Mese cut the gap to 3-1 with the first high school varsity goal of his career. Reynolds would make it 4-1 with 6:20 left, but the freshman Mese struck again at 4:32.

“Being opportunistic is a good thing,” Tilly said. “He was in the right place at the right time. We’ll take them.”

Laauli Tosi and Nicholas Eddens finished with goals to sew things up for East.

Fox had 24 saves, while Nate O’Lena had 33 for Kenai.

After losing five games this season by just one goal, Curry said the win should help.

“This was two pretty evenly matched teams,” he said. “I’m sure for the guys, this felt good.”

the loss to the 8-3-1 Wolverines, but Tilly saw the game as a step forward after Friday’s performance.

“Compared to the way the kids played Friday, it was awesome,” Tilly said.

The Kards grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first period when Dolton Dosko scored on an assist from Mese.

South was heavily outshooting Kenai, but the Kards had the advantage on the scoreboard until deep in the second period.

Nate O’Lena finished with 58 saves, while Griffin Logan had 14 saves for South.

“The shots came out a little uneven, but that’s why we have Nate O’Lena in the net,” Tilly said.

Ramsey scored late in the second, while Tyler Breitenstein and Ben Trujillo had goals in the third.

“We just couldn’t find the back of the net,” Tilly said.

“The plan for developing players that we have in place is succeeding, though. They are really coming together and now have the experience of playing in games against some pretty big teams.”

e were away from home for most of November. We got back just in time to do the laundry, get the mail, pay a couple of bills and bake a pie.

Then, because the weather was so good, we loaded the car, grabbed No. 7 Granddaughter and drove north to Healy for Thanksgiving.

Most years, by holiday time, the roads are better left to others to drive, considering the shortened days, inclement weather (usually) and number of drivers on the road. We had the added incentive, this time, of a new great-grandson to check on so “over the river and through the woods” we went.

The entire state, apparently, was suffering from no snow so we made the trip on relatively good roads. The traffic in Wasilla was mind-boggling, considering I still think of Teeland’s as the center of town. But driving north we had perfect views of Denali from Willow to well past Mary Carey’s. Of course, it started getting dark at Broad Pass (why does it always come as a surprise that the farther north you go, the earlier it gets dark?) but we ventured on and arrived at our destination about 6 p.m.

In the “old days” that drive was a simple jaunt. Now, I won’t mention how many years later, doing it all in one trip is more than any sane person should undertake on a late November day, no matter how good the weather.

We had a great holiday with the Healy family. All the granddaughters were home so No. 7 got to see the cousins, as well as the new little one. Granddaughter No. 3 has a new house she wanted to show off, so she hosted the big dinner. The new grandpa did the turkey to perfection and the rest of us cooked all the favorite things. We played games, ate, slept, and held the baby … a perfect Thanksgiving weekend. One we haven’t celebrated in too long. We haven’t had an Alaskan baby in the family since No. 7 was born … and she is getting her driver’s license this year … so it was a double good time.

We regained our sanity and made the trip home in two days, breaking in Palmer for some sister time, and another cousin for the granddaughter to reacquaint with. And, of course, by the time we began the drive past Anchorage it was threatening to snow.

Hubby swears that if we go to Anchorage in the winter it will snow before we get home.

So, it wasn’t until the road home that it finally occurred to me that Thanksgiving means Christmas is not far behind, and also that I had a column due. Yikes. Because we had been away from home for nearly a month we had missed out on the preparations and subtle reminders that even if there is no snow, Christmas still arrives on time.

We had missed out on Christmas Comes to Kenai by going north so a major part of my attitude adjustment was missing.

However, seeing the new lights at Leif Hansen Park, and at the Kenai Senior Center was enough to bring the season into focus and a slow drive around town highlighted the holiday feeling with the twinkle lights and decorated houses. When we got home I pulled out the sweatshirts decorated with snow men and Christmas trees. I have enough to wear a different one every day for the rest of the month; checked the earring drawer … not quite so many pairs with bells and ornaments, but it’s close. I checked the TV schedule for the Grinch and Rudolph (I wasn’t disappointed) and was also rewarded with “Polar Express” and various versions of “A Christmas Carol.” Lots of opportunity to get into the mood. And it snowed.

We have meetings coming up that will all be parties with cookie exchanges and donations to the Food Bank. Santa may visit and at least one will host the Carolers. We’ll join in on some carols, and listen raptly to the Christmas story yet again presented by a small child or two. Everyone will wish us Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday, maybe even a Joyous Solstice. Brother will call from Idaho just to make sure all’s well; one of the sisters will call to complain that Dad’s fudge didn’t turn out, again; we’ll get a Christmas card from someone we forgot to send one to, and someone will remind us that we’ll gain a minute of daylight on Christmas day.

But it was with some trepidation that I fired up the computer and sat down to write a Christmas column, due in a week. In past years, I’ve written about my dad’s fudge, selecting Christmas cards, mince meat and fruit cake, Christmas cactuses, decorating, elementary school Christmas parties (mine) and “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

What’s left?

But isn’t that the beauty of Christmas? No matter how often you celebrate the holiday each year is a renewal of the excitement, the joy and the blessings of the season.

Merry Christmas.

Teen retailers get the cold shoulder for holidays

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — Being a teen can be tough, but catering to one is even more difficult.

Teen retailers are learning that lesson the hard way this holiday season.

The longtime CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch on Tuesday abruptly retired just a week after the retailer posted an 11.5 percent quarterly sales drop and slashed its annual profit forecast. And American Eagle and Aeropostale gave dismal forecasts for the quarter that includes the holiday shopping season after each posted weak sales for the fall.

Teen retailers are facing ho-hum results at a time when overall U.S. retail sales are up 5.1 percent over the past 12 months, the Commerce Department said Thursday.

It’s a major shift for teen retailers. They became popular in the last decade for their logo tees and trendy jeans, which became a high school uniform of sorts. But since the recession, these stores have been losing favor with their core demographic.

One reason is technology. Teens are more interested in playing on smartphones than hanging out at the mall where these stores are. They’re also more likely to spend their money on iPhones and other tech gadgets than on clothes.

And when they do buy clothes, they do so differently than past generations who found comfort in dressing like their peers. Today’s teens shun the idea of wearing the same outfit as the girl or guy sitting next to them in chemistry class.

Case in point: Olivia Nash, a 16-year-old junior from Washington, D.C. Nash used to shop at American Eagle and Abercrombie, but now she pulls together pieces at a variety of other retailers.

“When I was younger, everyone wanted what everyone else had,” she says. But now, Nash says “everyone is putting their own individual spin” on their look.

This change in teen shopping patterns isn’t lost on retailers that spent years building their brands around a sort of “insta-look” that shoppers could buy right off the rack.

The three big teen retailers are getting rid of shirts and other items that have their logos and adding trendy fashions and athletic styles.

They’re allowing shoppers to buy online and pick up in stores. And they’re getting fashions in stores faster in an effort to compete with so-called fast-fashion retailers like H&M.

American Eagle, the mid-priced brand of the three chains, says it’s adding jeans with different washes this holiday season. Meanwhile, Aeropostale, which is at the lowprice range with jeans at about $40, is adding everything from cropped metallic tank tops to floral lace leggings. That’s a switch for the retailer, which used to focus on basics like jeans and sweatshirts.

Julian Geiger, Aeropostale’s CEO, acknowledged the shift in the way teens shop during a talk with investors last week. But he said the chain has added too many looks in its zeal to chase after fast-fashion chains.

“I still believe that while they strive for individuality in many ways, at 14- to 17-years-old, they still want to be accepted by their friends and peers and that there is still a uniform that they wear that makes them cool,” said Geiger, the chain’s former CEO who was rehired in August.

For its part, Abercrombie, whose other brands Hollister Co. and Gilly Hicks, has made the biggest changes.

The chain, which says it’s hired an executive search firm to find a successor to its CEO, has added neoprene party dresses and faux fur vests this holiday season. Additionally, it introduced black items — something it had never done before.

But perhaps the biggest change customers will see is at the cash register. The retailer, which could easily sell $90 jeans before the recession, is permanently cutting prices across the board by 15 percent.

“It is very clear that the young apparel sector in which we operate

In this Nov. 28 photo, people wait outside the American Eagle store for it to open at the Citadel Outlets in Los Angeles. Drops in sales and weak profit forecasts are quite a change for the retailers that gained popularity in the last decade among teens that coveted their logo tees and trendy jeans that became a high school uniform of sorts. But these stores have been losing favor with their core demographic since the recession.

is going through a period of disruption and turmoil,” said outgoing CEO Mike Jeffries on a conference call with investors last week after the chain released disappointing quarterly results. “In response to that, we are making significant changes.”

Les Berglass, CEO of an executive recruiting firm that works with retailers, said Abercrombie and other teen chains also need to incorporate more technology so that as soon

as customers walk in the store with their smartphones, they can recognize them and help them.

“They have to make a product that is more exciting than the iPhone6,” he said.

Nash, the Washington, D.C., high school junior, said at least one of the teen retailers is on the right track. She said she’s noticed trendier styles on Abercrombie’s website: “I think I may venture back to the store.”

Add a ‘Wonderful Life’ to new home when friends move

W

e all have our holiday traditions.

Each Thanksgiving, for instance, my wife insists on all the kids coming to our house, which I try to veto because I know she will work herself ragged cleaning and cooking and then cleaning again.

Each Christmas, on the other hand, we know that the kids will want to spend Christmas morning with our grandchildren, so instead of cooking big, JoAn and I enjoy a leisurely late breakfast at Waffle House. We meet a lot of nice people on Christmas morning, and sometimes they need help with their check....

Other traditions are not so big and important. For example, we had a relative who for years exchanged a jar of mayhaw jelly with his brother each time they got together.

That jar passed back and forth between

them for years, perhaps several times a year. For all I know, it is still making the rounds.

Several times, we have carried out a different type of tradition whenever a relative or a friend moved into a new home.

We stole the concept from an old movie – 1946’s classic It’s a Wonderful Life. (On the unlikely chance you’ve never seen the screen gem, watch it now and get back to me.)

Back? Good. You now know that in the film, a family renting from a slumlord finally is able to buy a house in a good subdivision developed by the star, George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart). To welcome the immigrant Martini family into their new home, George and his wife, Mary (Donna Reed), hold a little ceremony on the front porch.

Mary hands Mrs. Martini a loaf of bread and says, “Bread! That this house may never

know hunger.”

Then she gives the new resident a box.

“Salt! That life may always have flavor.”

Finally, George gives a bottle to Mr. Martini: “And wine! That joy and prosperity may reign Glynn Moore forever. Enter the Martini castle!”

It’s a Wonderful Life is loaded with great lines. My friend David has his own favorite line from the movie. It is when the surly new owner in Martini’s bar, which has been transformed into the seedy Nick’s bar, growls at the never-has-been-born George: “And that’s another thing. Where do you come off calling me ‘Nick’?”

As for me, I love the entire movie, and

Abigail Van Buren

DEAR ABBY: I am a woman in my 40s, married with two children. I am always getting invited to someone’s bridal or baby shower.

I loathe these events. I think they’re a total waste of time. There are always stupid games guests have to participate in, and the nonsensical chatter is more than I can take. On top of that, the takehome gifts and door prizes are almost always tacky and cheap.

Am I alone in feeling this way? Do other women hate them, too? Most of the time, if I can, I decline the invitation (and send a gift if it’s family). I just want off the invitation lists. Help!

— GROUCH IN NEW YORK DEAR GROUCH: Some people enjoy these parties because they are acquainted with many of the other guests, and it gives them a chance to catch up. Others attend out of a sense of obligation or to support the honoree on a happy occasion. While you can’t stop the invitations from being issued, if you continue to be unavailable, I predict that eventually you will receive fewer of them.

Wife is in a pickle packing lunches for choosy husband DEAR ABBY: My husband works, but I do not. I stay very busy, but he expects me to pack him a lunch every day. It must include a breakfast item and a lunch item, as he is starving by the time he arrives at work, even if he ate at home.

My problem is, he has a huge list of “do not pack” preferences because he’s so picky. It changes randomly. His list includes “Don’t pack so many carbs; I want protein. No sandwiches. No spaghetti leftovers using twisted noodles — only regular noodles. Don’t use too many peppers; use more bell peppers and tomatoes.” The list goes on and on.

I have told him he needs to eat what I give him since he expects a completely different lunch than our son, but he constantly complains about the lunches.

However, if I don’t pack his lunch, he refuses to pack one and then overspends on takeout. One man shouldn’t spend $20 at Taco Bell in a single meal. I’m getting frustrated and don’t know how to get this list to stop expanding.

— FRUSTRATED LUNCH PACKER DEAR FRUSTRATED: I know you’re hoping I’ll say that the solution is for him to pack his own darn lunches. But since he works and you are a stay-at-home mother, I’m reluctant to advise that.

Try this: Because your husband’s list of preferences is not static and changes often, have him accompany you when you do the marketing on weekends so he can select what fruits and vegetables he would like to eat during the week.

When you get home, pack them in plastic containers labeled Monday, Tuesday, etc., so that when he’s on his way to work he can grab one before he’s out the door. Along with it

Last Sunday’s Crossword Answers

each Christmas I recite George’s jovial “Merry Christmas, you wonderful old building and loan!,” which he shouts as he runs down the street past the banking business he had always viewed as the shackle keeping him in his hometown.

The bread-salt-wine christenings came to us after years of appreciating the old movie.

What better blessing on a family that is starting out in fresh surroundings? No hunger, but lots of spice, joy and prosperity!

Watch the movie again this Christmas.

Then, when your friends or relatives move into a new place, honor them with the ceremony.

You are sure to give them a home, sweet home.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun in Sagittarius and a Moon in Virgo if born before 9:11 p.m. (PST). Afterward, the Moon will be in Libra.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Dec. 14, 2014: This year you express interest in travel and other cultures.

You are likely to take frequent trips out of town. If you are single, you could meet someone from out of the blue, like at the bank. Be open to new people who might not be your usual type. If you are attached, the two of you will see your life quite differently. Respect your differences, and try out new ways of compromising. You will become best friends as well as lovers. LIBRA easily can get you to test out a new idea.

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 Use the morning to make calls to loved ones whom you normally don’t get to chat with. Catching up on news will add to the feeling of being connected. Plans might seem more like work at the present moment. Find a retreat or go to a movie. Tonight: All smiles.

This Week: Others dominate. Walk away from a power play.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You are an understanding sign, even if you are stubborn. Not everyone is as upbeat as you are. Your joyful outlook could sink in an interaction. Make plans that you have been postponing. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

This Week: You’ll be a workaholic through Wednesday.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You can try to hide out at home, but you are not likely to be able to maintain that low profile. A loved one with a caring gesture might appear. Together, you can take off and participate in a fun happening. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

This Week: You can’t be serious for the life of you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You’ll be ready for whatever the day brings. Set the tone by making calls to loved ones. You might want to catch up and brainstorm about holiday shopping. Your energy will bring people together. Meet up for a late lunch at a favorite spot. Tonight: Make it early.

This Week: Do as much as you can from home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Funds continue to be a predominant theme. You might need to cover a lot of bases. Make sure your wallet can go the whole way. Recognize that there will be unexpected costs. A partner could have unrealistic expectations. Tonight: Dinner and a discussion. Make it nice.

This Week: Speak your mind, and let others hear your opinions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) C

HHHHH You’ll achieve exactly what you want. Know that you might be taken aback by your innermost desires. Your intuition will help you with a parent, roommate and/or loved one. Your caring makes a big difference to a child.

Tonight: Go for a little indulgence.

This Week: You could be very materialistic and possessive until late Wednesday.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Look back before you take off in a new direction.

Understand that, when you greet change, you also will be letting go of some of the past. Be sure that you want to proceed. You’ll accomplish much more of what you want by the end of the day. Tonight: All smiles.

This Week: You are all personality.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Zero in on what you want today, as you could have a limited amount of free time. Someone you admire will give you quite a compliment. You might have difficulty saying “thank you,” but use your imagination to find the right response. Tonight: Make it early.

This Week: Not until you get past a personal issue will you be 100 percent present.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Pressure builds around a responsibility, and you might not see a way out. Don’t give up. Tune in to a very special feeling you have when you are at home. Add to your sense of peace by soaking in a hot tub; make it your gift to yourself. Tonight: Find your friends.

This Week: Use Monday and Tuesday well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reach out to someone at a distance. You have an understanding that goes way past the norm. You two can discuss nearly anything. Consider giving yourselves the gift of getting together! Tonight: Avoid being controlling with an unpredictable family member.

This Week: You remain determined to get certain projects done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A good friend will want to spend quality time with you. Make it your pleasure, as the two of you always have a good time together. Be realistic when making decisions; otherwise, you could be disappointed. Tonight: Dinner, great music and a good time.

This Week: A discussion could be more important than you think.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A friend means a lot to you, and vice versa. Talk about how you feel. You tend to put loved ones on a pedestal. Make a point of being more realistic, and avoid putting people in that position, as they are likely to fall off.

Tonight: A cozy dinner with a special person.

This Week: Others want it their way. Go off and do something else.

Lauren Hill

Margot Theis Raven is a journalist and children’s book author. jacket art © 2014 by Petra Brown, published by Sleeping Bear Press

Last month, Lauren Hill stepped onto the basketball court knowing she would never overcome her greatest challenge, but she was determined to live her dream. The year before, Lauren had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and was told she had only months to live. Her dream of playing college basketball appeared impossible.

Others stepped in to help. Lauren’s Division III Mount St. Joseph Lions women’s basketball team asked to move up its first game by two weeks. The opposing team from Hiram College agreed, and the NCAA approved the change. On Nov. 2, 10,000 fans turned out to see Lauren suit up for her college basketball debut.

Lauren scored the game’s first two points and later added the final basket in a 66-55 Lions victory. “I love basketball, and it was sad when I couldn’t play,” she said after the game. “But it was great to be here to support my team because they’re supporting me every day.”
