Senate panel advances Luiken nomination JUNEAU (AP) — The Senate Transportation Committee has advanced the nomination of Marc Luiken as transportation commissioner.

Luiken appeared before the committee for a confirmation hearing on Tuesday.

Luiken said Alaska budget situation demands that state government operate differently now and in the future.

He said changes made must be sustainable for the longterm health of Alaska’s economy.

He also said the department would strive to reduce the impact on its core services.

The House Transportation Committee is scheduled to hold a confirmation hearing for Luiken on Thursday.

Luiken’s position is subject to confirmation by the Legislature.

If the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s preseason forecast for the early run of chinook salmon on the Kenai River proves to be accurate, it will be the second lowest run on the river in 30 years. However, the newly released run forecast of 5,265 fish is more than twice the 2014 forecast for the struggling salmon run.

Despite the promising uptick in numbers, area manager Robert Begich said the upcoming fishing season would likely be managed similarly to last season. In 2014, managers announced a rare preseason closure of fishing for early run king salmon. Begich said anglers should look for management actions from the department soon.

While the numbers of fish forecasted to return is more promising than last year’s forecast, the outlook for early run chinook is still well below av-

Kenai king sonar moves upriver Managers say new site provides more complete picture of runs

By RASHAH McCHESNEY Peninsula Clarion

After two years of testing, Alaska Department of Fish and Game managers have decided to move the sonar site used to count the Kenai River’s king salmon runs.

Currently, Fish and Game uses a king salmon sonar site at river mile 8.6 to estimate abundance and manage the two runs of king salmon during the sea-

son. However, the site has been problematic. It is still within the tidally influenced area of the river and doesn’t fully ensonify the area.

In addition, managers have had to apply a expansion factor to fish counts generated from the site to account for fish that were swimming behind the sonar transducers.

A site at River Mile 13.7 — near the upper end of Falling in Hole — has been in develop-

ment since 2011 and managers will transition to managing the king salmon runs inseason from that site.

“It’s something we’ve been wanting to do for the last four years,” said Fish and Game Sportfish Division Area Management Biologist Robert Begich. “We get the best information we can about the run (at the new site).”

Before moving to the new site, Begich said staff wanted to

Lack of snow means some relief for Soldotna

By IAN FOLEY Peninsula Clarion

While Soldotna’s fiscal climate is becoming tight, the actual climate is providing some relief.

Due to a lack of snow, the city of Soldotna is currently under budget for its snow removal service.

Scott Sundberg, city of Soldotna maintenance department manager, said that approximately $100,000 is budgeted annually for the purpose of hauling snow. Of that money,

$80,000 pays for fees associated with contracted trucks, while $20,000 is designated for the snow disposal facility.

“So far, this year, we’ve spent $10,111.70 in truck fees out of a potential $80,000,” Sundberg said. “There’s still $70,000 out there.”

While the budget looks good to date, Sundberg is still aware of the potential for more snow this season. He said that in the past, the city has exceeded the $100,000 budget and there have been instances where the snow-hauling bill has been up

‘This year we’re looking good. But March could come out like a lion, and we could go through that budget.’

— Scott Sundberg, Soldotna maintenance department manager to $13,000 in a day.

“This year we’re looking good,” Sundberg said. “But March could come out like a lion, and we could go through that budget.”

Sundberg said that if there is extra money leftover from the budget, it gets returned to the city’s general fund.

While this winter has seen less snow, the wet weather has

caused icy roads. Sundberg said that the city has used more sand to keep the roads safe.

“We are sanding more,” he said. “This year and last. There have been times where we’re running two sanders in a day trying to keep up with the ice.”

Sundberg said that in years past, the city would purchase 500 cubic yards of sand annually, but more recently the city started buying 1,000 cubic yards. While sand comes from a different line item in the city’s budget, Sundberg said that no See CITY, page A-12

Fairbanks works on Jewell visits eroding village traffic plan for Iditarod temperatures KOTZEBUE (AP) — In slightly higher

FAIRBANKS (AP) — It’s not accommodating an influx of dogs that has officials in Fairbanks worried, it’s the people that come to watch them race.

State and local officials are working on a traffic plan to accommodate the thousands of race fans expected to watch the restart of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race on March 9 in Fairbanks. A lack of snow at the normal restart location in Willow forced race organizers to move the restart 250 miles to the north. The race will have its ceremonial start as normal in Anchorage on March 7.

Organizers are expecting many more fans than showed up the last time the race start was sent to Fairbanks, in 2003, and even then there were traffic problems, the Fairbanks Daily

News-Miner reported.

The traffic plan didn’t go as planned that year, and there was so much vehicle congestion near Pike’s Landing that many people didn’t get to see the start of the race, said Howie Thies, who is acting as the restart director in Fairbanks.

That’s why an organized traffic plan is the priority this time around to avoid a repeat.

Part of the plan will involve people using shuttles, and a special area will be set aside buses carrying children to the start on field trips.

Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Luke Hopkins called the traffic plan one of the most important pieces of the early stages of planning for the race.

“That’s the biggest thing, See PLAN, page A-12

than Washington, D.C.’s, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell got a firsthand look Monday at the effect of climate change on an Alaska coastal community.

Jewell visited Kivalina, a village of 370 on a barrier island just off Alaska’s northwest coast, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.

Once protected from early winter storms by a natural barrier of sea ice, Kivalina has been ravaged in recent decades by erosion because climate warming prevents ice from forming until later in the winter.

“You can see the impact of coastal erosion in the village,” Jewell said. “You can hear the fear in people’s voices about what’s happening with C

More plastic ending up in world’s oceans

By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

SAN JOSE, California — Each year about 8.8 million tons of plastic ends up in the world oceans, a quantity much higher than previous estimates, according to a new study that tracked marine debris from its source.

That’s the equivalent of five grocery bags full of plastic debris dotting each foot of coastline around the world, said study lead author Jenna Jambeck, an environment engineering professor at the University of Georgia.

And if the biggest polluters, mostly developing Asian countries, don’t clean up how they throw stuff away, Jambeck projects that by 2025 the total accumulated plastic trash in the oceans will reach around 170 million tons. That’s based on population trends and continued waste management disposal problems, although there may be some early signs of change, she said.

More than half of the plastic waste that flows into the oceans comes from just five countries: China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. The only industrialized western

country on the list of top 20 plastic polluters is the United States at No. 20. The U.S. and Europe are not mismanaging their collected waste, so the plastic trash coming from those countries is due to litter, researchers said.

While China is responsible for 2.4 million tons of plastic that makes its way into the ocean, nearly 28 percent of the

world total, the United States contributes just 77,000 tons, which is less than 1 percent, according to the study published Thursday in the journal Science. This is mostly because developed countries have systems to trap and collect plastic waste, Jambeck said.

“We need to wake up and see our waste,” Jambeck said.

“I think the problem in some

ways has sort of snuck up around us.”

The amount of plastics estimated going into the water is equal to how much tuna is fished year, so “we are taking out tuna and putting in plastic,” study co-author Kara Lavendar Law said in a press conference at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference.

Obituaries Dorius Doyle Carlson Dorius Doyle Carlson passed away peacefully Saturday, Feb. 14, 2015 in Soldotna at the age of 89. Born Nov. 12, 1925 in Richmond, Utah, he was fifth of 14 children of Victor and Leona Carlson.

Coming from a large family during the Great Depression, he survived multiple childhood illnesses that left him with only one lung for a period of time. Out of necessity he became persistent, industrious, and self-motivated. Doyle served in the WWII Army Air Corps with special training in aircraft radio and radar school and also participated in “Golden Gloves Boxer tournament” with a 32-4 record.

After the war Doyle married his sweetheart Helen Johnson from Nephi, Utah on June 13, 1947 in the Logan Temple. With her help he completed his Industrial Education degree and began teaching in LeGrande, Oregon, but his lifelong dream was traveling to Alaska (May 1956), where he taught automotive at Anchorage (later “West”) High School from 1957-64. Summers were spent on Kenai’s Salamatof Beach commercial fishing beginning in 1960. The family, which grew to eight children, moved permanently to Kenai Peninsula in the summer of 1967 where Doyle began teaching at KCHS and retired in 1980 with 23 years of teaching at the age of 55.

Teaching was as much a passion to Doyle as the vocational trades that he constantly employed outside the classroom, such as welding scores of original custom-designed aluminum commercial fishing boats of all sizes. After selling the fishing site in the 1970s, he built a dock and processing plant which financed many college degrees and church missions (including each of his sons and four service and proselytizing missions with his wife Helen after retirement). Not surprisingly, he shipped welding equipment and materials to Guam to share boat construction skills.

In addition to many years of voluntary selfless service to church and community, he regularly found time to tease and play just as hard as he worked. He spent personal time designing and building creative and exciting trams, obstacle courses, school competitions, games, swings and rides. Even work turned into a game and competition to see how well or fast it could get done! He is remembered for his amazing ability to diagnose, repair, design, or build almost anything but in a fairly quiet, humble unassuming manner.

Preceded in death by his son Dennis Doyle Carlson, Doyle is survived by his loving wife of nearly 68 years, Helen Johnson Carlson (Kenai); by younger siblings: Carol Miller (Cove, Utah), Tess Christensen (Richmond, Utah), Rita Rowland (Sun City West, Arizona), Carl Carlson (Escondido, California), Druce Cluff Chugiak), Joe Carlson (Shelley, Idaho); and by children: Laura Lee Larson (Salt Lake City, Utah), Linda Dorene James (Blackfoot, Idaho), Dr. R. Lynn Carlson (Kenai), Carl F. Carlson (Kenai), David G. Carlson (Naknek), James W. (Bill) Carlson (Kasilof), Connie Carlson (Kenai); 43 grandchildren; and 80 great-grandchildren.

We will forever cherish Mom’s Honey, Doyle, Dad, Mr./Brother Carlson, Grandpa Carlson, and yes even GREAT Grandpa Carlson to 80 kids (and counting).

Longtime Homer resident Claire Deitz, 80, passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015 in Anchorage.

A celebration of Claire’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 21, 2015 at the Anchorage Moose Family Center, 4211 Arctic Blvd. Graveside services will be held 2:00 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 22, 2015 at the Hickerson Memorial Park Cemetery in Homer. Officiating the service will

be Pastor Lisa Talbott. Pallbearers will include Kenneth Deitz (son), David Deitz (son), Kenneth Deitz (grandson), Ernest Deitz (grandson), William Carlson (brother), and Stanly Griffin (sonin-law.)

Claire was born Oct. 17, 1934 in Anaconda, Montana. She moved to Homer with her family in 1947. She spent her childhood years growing up in Homer where she graduated from Homer High School. She always loved to tell stories of her and her classmates. In 1954 she married Allen Deitz and they had four children which they raised in Homer (Andy, Kenneth, David and DaKean). In recent years Claire moved to Anchorage to be closer to all of her family. Her passions and favorite pastimes include crocheting wonderful gifts for her family as well as any type of flowers and gardening. She also had a huge soft spot and love for any and all animals.

Claire had the ability to make each person in her life feel uniquely special whether that meant going on an unplanned “adventure” Sunday drive, or bundling up to watch her grandkids’ hockey games, or a dance recital, a school play or any number of things. Claire loved to be involved and included in all of her family lives. You could always count on her to be there and with that she made each grandchild and great-grandchild feel they had a special place in her heart. Claire was so proud of all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren accomplishments. She had an amazing capacity to care, if you had a story she wanted to hear it, and in turn would share her stories with you. She sincerely cared about everybody that came into her life.

Claire was preceded in death by her brother, Sonney Carlson; and longtime companion Antonio Montesinos.

She is survived by her brother, William Carlson of Ninilchik; children, Allen Deitz Jr. of Boise, Idaho, Kenneth and Kim Deitz, David Deitz, DaKean and Stanly Griffin all of Anchorage; grandchildren, Kenneth A.

What Others Say

Pamphlet problem Is there a better sign that an elec-

tion is imminent than the arrival to our mailboxes of the papery mass that is the state’s election pamphlet?

While many Alaskans usually have their minds made up long before election day thanks to personal ideologies (and a generous dose of radio and television ads), these pamphlets are still important soap boxes, providing equal time and space for political candidates, judicial recommendations and proposed ballot measures.

The key word here being equal. Candidates pay the state a small fee — the state does not charge for ballot measures or judicial recommendations — and are allotted equal, regulated space to state what they stand for.

The state also sells full-page political ads in the pamphlet at a higher fee — a practice that should end.

The state has a moral obligation to be as even-handed and nonpartisan as possible when distributing election material. Pamphlets are, in theory, factual reference books for undecided voters to consult. The inclusion of full-on political ads puts the state in the uncomfortable position of potentially paying to distribute a one-sided document to every person in Alaska.

Yes, these political ads are clearly labeled, but that’s not the point. The inclusion of political ads is an unnecessary complication, a blurring of lines, of the state’s role here. Not to mention, political ads have been proven time and time again to work. The ads should go.

A bipartisan bill introduced in the state House by Rep. Bob Lynn and Rep. Les Gara — House Bill 13 — seeks to do just that.

HB13 is a good idea that eliminates the ability of political parties to purchase full-page ads in election pamphlets.

In the process, it removes the state from a role it should not be occupying. The state’s job is to inform, not to mail flyers for political parties.

The FBI director’s suprise

Who would have predicted that the head of the FBI could give a speech about cops and racial bias that would be so thoughtful and so balanced that it was embraced by both law-enforcement officials and those who have protested police tactics and have grievances about brutal racial discrimination. Certainly it was a surprise to most of us who have watched the intense animosity build, particularly since the deaths of blacks at the hands of white cops in Ferguson, Missouri, Staten Island, New York, and Cleveland. The nation has been split into seemingly irreconcilable camps on either side of the “thin blue line,” both sides shouting past each other.

Enter James Comey, director of the FBI, which is itself a federal police force carrying some baggage of a mixed history in its own dealings with minorities. But there he was, speaking at Georgetown University and addressing head-on the charge that far too many cops are biased against citizens of color.

Despite bitter denials from many in law enforcement, Comey argued that it was time to face reality: “Police officers on patrol in our nation’s cities often work in environments where a hugely disproportionate percentage of street crime is committed by young men of color. Something happens to people of good will working in that environment.”

That something, he went on to say, is that racial bias becomes a “shortcut” in the mind of the frontline cops who be-

Letters to the Editor ‘American Sniper’: A different perspective I went to see American Sniper with my wife and left the theater with mixed emotions. I served in Ramadi and Fallujah during that time period and I found the combat segments of the movie unconvincing.

The Marines didn’t look or act like Marines, the SEALs (besides Cooper) didn’t look or act like SEALs. Little things like the Marines’ equipment and uniforms being brand new and spotless after fighting through Fallujah and perfectly manicured palm trees adjacent to demolished buildings (my memory was that they were all blown to stumps) caused me to gloss over the combat scenes.

None of that is to take away from the bravery and dedication of Chris Kyle, however, who was by all accounts everything the movie made him out to be.

The part of the movie that I found riveting and that unfortunately gets less attention, is the dynamic between Kyle and his family as he struggles to simultaneously be husband, father, and warrior. Eastwood’s portrayal of the painful balancing act between fulfilling your professional military obligations and the commitment you make to your loved ones was spot on. I could readily relate to Kyle’s sense of guilt about being home while others were in harm’s way, and conversely his sense of guilt about being away while his family needed him at home. The film also highlighted the corrosive, cumulative effect that multiple combat tours has on military families; an effect that for many has resulted in either broken home lives or the early termination of a promising military career.

I also found the depiction of Kyle’s difficulty in decompressing and re-adjusting to civilian life compelling. The triggering mechanism of certain sounds, detachment from friends and family, irrational reactions to benign situations, and even his post deployment high blood pressure all hit home.

To me the great irony of the film comes at the end, when Kyle — who has found a way to manage his demons — attempts to help other veterans manage theirs, and is destroyed in the process.

From my perspective, when viewed exclusively as a war movie, the film wasn’t particularly unique or noteworthy. But I didn’t really view it as a war movie. The combat sequences merely framed Kyle’s C

come conditioned to seeing more danger potential from blacks than whites. Even so, Comey went on, “I believe law enforcement overwhelmingly attracts people who want to do good for a living — people Bob Franken who risk their lives because they want to help other people. They don’t sign up to be cops in New York or Chicago or L.A. to help white people or black people or Hispanic people or Asian people. They sign up because they want to help all people. And they do some of the hardest, most dangerous policing to protect people of color.”

The answer, says Coney, is to acknowledge that this is a real problem for police and then for people of good will to work on solutions. That’s obvious, but also very difficult. It couldn’t possibly happen quickly given the decades of tension between blacks and cops. It means that not only will a hostile relationship have to be faced dispassionately and ultimately replaced by respect, but that communities will have to be willing to support the cops who earn this respect by using proportional methods when taking on lawbreakers. It also will require weeding out from the police forces the bullies and genuine bigots who go be-

struggles and personalized issues faced by the veterans’ community writ large. 52,000 young Americans were wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, 22 veterans a day commit suicide, and the VA is struggling under the weight of 970,000 new disability claims from young veterans. Although the guns have gone silent and the colors have been cased, the battle for many continues.

Is more marijuana enforcement worth the cost?

Some lawmakers want to create new criminals by making bad laws regarding the production of pot. Isn’t it enough that the victimless crime of personal use has done such great harm to so many?

The advantage of a new war on those producing cannabis as a cash crop is small, if not altogether non-existent. Do we want more enforcement assets expended; more people arrested; more people in jail; more people losing their livelihood. The question is, is it worth it?

Aristotle defined bad law when he said: “For the habit of lightly changing the laws is an evil, and, when the advantage is small, some errors both of lawgivers and rulers had better be left; the citizen will not gain so much by making the change as he will lose by the habit of disobedience.” (Part VIII “Essays on Politics”) A free people who do no harm to others will only suffer more under more lightly changed laws.

Sound advice to those who want to create new laws hindering personal liberty.

Today, we’d say to lawmakers: “Don’t go there.”

Too many conflicts of interest on Board of Fisheries Everyone seems to be upset about our Alaska Board of Fisheries lately but few understand how the board was created to function and how it is currently functioning. The board was created by intelligent and good Alaskans who simply believed that other intelligent and good Alaskans could be appointed to the Alaska Board of Fish by our elected representatives. The problem with our board of fish then developed from politicians incorrectly defining the term “intelligent and good Alaskans.”

As specialized commercial fisheries developed each different type then requested

yond their authority, particularly when it comes to dealing with African-Americans.

Most of all, it will involve establishing a line of communication. As cliche as that is, it’s vital. Comey says it’s imperative that cops will need to be accessible if they’re going to be trusted. “We must better understand the people we serve and protect — by trying to know, deep in our gut, what it feels like to be a law-abiding young black man walking on the street and encountering law enforcement.”

It’s going to take a change in thinking from police departments who now use heavy-handed tactics and heavy armor to enforce their orders instead of starting with reason. It’s also going to require a different thought process from those who must realize that their personal safety can be guaranteed only if the threats to that safety are to be removed from their neighborhood.

Law enforcement and the law-abiding will need to understand that they’re on the same side. All too often today, they’re not.

What we have had instead is a confrontation where both sides are trying to beat the other down. When that happens, everyone loses. That spiral must be stopped. A good start is to replace the toxic rhetoric with constructive honesty — like what we heard from FBI Director Comey.

Bob Franken is a longtime broadcast journalist, including 20 years at CNN.

additional fisheries access until all of the harvestable fisheries surplus was commercially allocated for someone to harvest.

Then public users also began requesting additional fisheries access and were told that all had been allocated. This is when the “Fish Wars” began as special interests began attempting to manipulate the board of fisheries. Politicians then began the practice of appointing intelligent and good Alaskans who just happened to have “special/conflict of interest axes to grind” while serving on the board. Intelligent and good decision making was then tainted by special/conflict of interest decision making that was sometimes outrageous and illogical. This new tainted board process then resulted in many unintelligent and bad decisions. All the fisheries in Alaska then suffered greatly under these tainted decisions therefore most fisheries users in Alaska then became upset by what the board of fisheries process had become.

Currently our board of fisheries members are appointed by Alaska’s governor and confirmed by its legislature. These appointments are now primarily made with regard to the special/conflict of interest that a board members may possess and secondary with regard to them being intelligent and good Alaskans. Special/conflict of interest board members have become our new standard and the primary flaw within our board of fisheries. The board was conceived to operate with intelligent and good members but is now saturated with special/ conflict of interest members, thus the reason everyone is upset.

This is the equivalent of placing drug dealers and murders on a prison parole board, could you image who would be paroled? The solution is simple, return the board to only intelligent and good Alaskans and do not appoint board members who have special/conflict of interest axes to grind.

By appointing commercial fisherman Roland Maw to The Alaska Board of Fisheries, Governor Walker has decided to continue the illogical practice of appointing board of fisheries members with special/ conflict of interest axes to grind. This type of appointment is the core of the reason we most of our user groups are so upset by the decisions flowing from our board of fish. We need to remove all board members who have conflict of interests and return to members who are just intelligent and good.

From Gulf to New England, cold grips US

By JONATHAN DREW and MEREDITH SOMERS Associated Press

DURHAM, N.C. — A powerful winter storm dumped snow from Nashville to Nantucket, and arctic-like temperatures gripped much of the U.S. and hundreds of thousands of people lost power in the South.

While some shivered, others bundled up and tried to make the best of a frustrating situation. Here’s a look at how people were handling the land of ice, snow and subzero temperatures.

COLD CARNIVAL If there was a theme for this year’s Mardi Gras costumes in New Orleans, it was ‘Brrrrr.’

Despite the chilly temperatures, the crowds were thick.

Tutus were worn over jeans and many costumes, such as clowns or animals, were baggy enough to cover sweat shirts.

Erin Buran, of New Orleans, wore a white jacket and feathery angel wings.

“My angel wings have tequila in them,” she said, showing the mouthpiece of a hydration backpack covered by the wings.

ROOF WORRIES Massachusetts officials stepped up warnings about the potential for roofs to collapse under the weight of snow that has built up in recent weeks.

Numerous partial roof collapses have been reported in the state but no serious injuries to date.

Two New Hampshire school districts remain closed a day after schools were evacuated over concerns of snow buildup on roofs.

ICE BABY Some things just won’t wait, as Jerry Nuesell can attest.

With his wife 33 weeks pregnant, the couple was headed to the doctor’s office when Lisa’s contractions led them to UNC Hospitals for the arrival of their first born, a boy.

“Turned out the little fellow was ready to make an appearance much sooner than we planned,” Nuesell said Tuesday.

He watched his son be born, then drove 30 miles back to Cary, North Carolina, to take care of their dachshund, Schnitzel. Ice covered most of his windshield and the drive wasn’t easy.

“I had probably a good 6-inch-by-6-inch square that I

had to peer through to get the best vision,” he said. “On multiple occasions, I thought this might not be the best idea.”

SURRENDER TO THE SNOW The tourism office of Ithaca, New York, is waving the white flag, advising visitors on its website to check out the Florida Keys instead.

VisitIthaca.com’s home page

displays sunny photos from Florida and provides links to Florida Keys information.

The top of the page reads: “That’s it. We surrender. Winter, you win. Key West anyone?”

Ithaca and the rest of upstate New York have been in the grips of a snowy and brutally cold winter.

ICY ROADS Roads were icy and slushy,

making driving difficult in many places and causing at least seven traffic deaths. There were three deaths in Tennessee, including a mother and son in Williamson County who stopped to help people in a sport utility vehicle that overturned in front of them when they were struck by a tractor-trailer. Two people were killed in Virginia as nearly a foot of snow fell in some places. In North Carolina, a woman died in a two-car crash in the northeastern part of the state. Two people were also killed in separate crashes in Maryland.

SPORTS CAR IN THE SNOW? “I’ll just back up and fly out,” is the strategy Brent Seney had for freeing his black convertible Mazda Miata from the snow in the nation’s capital Tuesday.

Despite the thick blanket of snow along his street, Seney, 60, was confident his sporty ride could handle the roads. In fact, he planned to drive to his boat harbored at James Creek Marina in southwest Washington.

“I’ll shovel the snow off, make sure it’s not frozen too much because the harbor is all

frozen in,” Seney said.

TRYING TO FLY Trudging along a snowy sidewalk, Robin Winter and her daughter, Melissa, made their way to a Metro station in Washington so Mom could catch her flight home to St. Louis.

Robin Winter, carrying multiple bags and sporting a sock monkey hat, said she’d gotten into town Thursday, and had been watching the forecasts as the snow made its way across the country.

“If I would have decided to fly out Sunday night instead, you never know for sure if it’s gonna really happen until it really happens,” she said.

The Winters were optimistic the flight would not be canceled, though they were prepared for a delay. It appeared her flight left on time, but others weren’t so lucky. More than 1,800 flights were canceled at many airports, from Nashville, Tennessee, to the nation’s capital.

More than 2,000 travelers spent the night at Charlotte Douglas International Airport as a winter storm roared through North Carolina dropping snow, sleet and freezing rain on the region.

New defense chief vows to protect troops’ safety, dignity

By NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Ash Carter, sworn in Tuesday as President Barack Obama’s fourth secretary of defense amid multiple global threats, pledged to offer his most candid strategic advice and carefully consider decisions about sending troops into harm’s way.

Hours after taking the oath of office, Carter met with Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office to discuss the security challenges that await him in the new job.

Obama said their discussion covered battles in Ukraine, the threat from Islamic State militants and countering violent extremism that he said has

been “turbocharged through the Internet.”

“I could not be more confident that Ash Carter is going to do an outstanding job as secretary of defense, and he is hitting the ground running,” Obama said, citing Carter’s experience in other leadership positions at the Pentagon.

Carter, 60, replaces Chuck Hagel, who resigned under pressure after a rocky relationship with the White House. In an email to all Defense Department personnel, Carter wrote that the challenging times “demand leadership and focus.”

“In addressing these challenges, I have pledged to provide the president my most candid strategic advice,” Carter wrote.

“I pledge to make decisions about sending you into harm’s way with the greatest reflection and utmost care — because this is my highest responsibility as secretary of defense,” Carter’s memo read.

Carter’s swearing-in ceremony was held in the White House Roosevelt Room Tuesday morning while most of the federal government was closed because of snow. Biden issued the oath of office on a Bible held by Carter’s wife.

Bide said Carter faces “many tough missions,” ranging from battling Islamic State militants and strengthening the NATO alliance, to technological advancements and budget cuts. “This is the guy that fits the job,” Biden said, calling

Carter a “profoundly capable manager.”

Carter responded that he was taking office with three commitments. He pledged to help Obama make the best possible decisions about U.S. and global security; to protect the dignity, safety and well-being of service members; and to build a force for the future that embraces change.

With lawmakers debating Pentagon funding levels, Carter said he was committed to “not only securing the resources we need but to make sure we make the best use of the taxpayer’s dollar.”

The ceremony was attended

by Carter’s son, William, and a handful of senior military leaders, including Deputy Defense

Secretary Bob Work and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Carter declined to answer a question about providing arms to Ukraine before he left the room.

Biden teased Carter, who previously held other positions in Pentagon leadership, for a habit of holding meetings while “walking briskly down the hallways of the Pentagon, with his aides struggling to scribble and jog simultaneously.”

“Ash Carter’s a thinker and a doer,” Biden said. The vice president said Carter “saved

thousands of lives and limbs” by getting protective undergarments and mine-resistant vehicles for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Carter had earlier reported to work at the snowy, icy Potomac River entrance to the Pentagon.

His wife, Stephanie, slipped and fell on the icy pavement before the gathered media, but laughed it off and later told journalists at the White House she was fine. Biden kept his hands on her shoulders as her husband addressed reporters at the swearing-in, at one point leaning down close to her ear.

Immigrants disappointed by judge’s ruling

Around the World El-Sissi says Libya was ‘abandoned’, wants UN-backed coalition against extremists

By AMY TAXIN Associated Press

CAIRO — Egypt’s president said in a radio interview aired on Tuesday that creating a U.N.-backed coalition was the best course of action to rid Libya of Islamic extremists.

Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, speaking to France’s Europe 1 Radio, said Egyptian airstrikes against Islamic State group positions in Libya on Monday were in self-defense.

The airstrikes were in retaliation for the mass beheading on a beach of a group of Egyptian Coptic Christians. A video of the killings was release late Sunday by a faction calling itself the Tripoli Province of the Islamic State group.

“We will not allow them to cut off the heads of our children,” he said. Asked whether he wanted to see a U.N.-backed coalition for Libya, he said: “I think there is no choice.”

He added that any intervention to restore security in Libya should be done with the consent of the country’s people and government.

“We have abandoned the Libyan people as prisoners of the militias ... The militias have to give up their arms and must work in a civil context. We have to disarm and prevent arms from falling into the hands of extremists,” el-Sissi, a generalturned-politician, told the French station in his first public comments after his country’s U.S.-made F-16s staged at least two rounds of airstrikes in Libya on Monday.

LOS ANGELES — Immigrants expressed disappointment Tuesday after a federal judge put a hold on President Barack Obama’s plan to protect more than 4 million people living illegally in the U.S. from deportation. But many said they haven’t lost hope.

A look at some of those who want to benefit from Obama’s programs: Growing up in Guatemala, Keyla Betancurth used to watch her single mother cry at night because she could not afford to buy food for her children.

Betancourt left school at 12 to work at a bakery to help. Then, at 17, she took a bigger step, paying a smuggler to get her to the U.S. “I wanted a better future for myself and for my mom,” said the 28-year-old, who wants to apply for Obama’s program for the parents of Americans.

Jeb Bush’s comparisons with brother, former president George W. Bush DETROIT — It’s a question Jeb Bush gets often, and will surely get again, over and over.

At a meeting of Republican donors who helped pay for 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s campaign, one wanted to know: How does the former Florida governor plan to distinguish himself from his brother, former President George W. Bush?

“He said we are bound by religious faith and our family’s values, but have different interests, strategies and leadership styles,” said Craig Duchossois, a Chicago-based investor and GOP donor who was at the meeting.

Others who have attended similar private events with Bush in recent weeks, as he aggressively seeks to raise a pacesetting amount of money before formally launching a 2016 campaign, say Bush has told them the same. His overriding message, although not one yet offered with many specifics: I am my own candidate.

“He dealt with that tough question like a champ,” said another donor at the meeting, Terry Graunke. “He said, ‘We may have the same principles and values, but everybody in our family is different.’”

want my kids to suffer like I did.”

Betancurth, who has three young children, has been a farmworker in California and Iowa and, since moving to Denver three years ago, a maid. Her husband, who is from Honduras, paints houses.

For both, steady, well-paid work is difficult to find because they lack Social Security numbers. She wants to return to school to study hairdressing and one day open her own salon.

“My big dream is to study,” she said. nnn Claudia Ramon, 46, said she and her daughters did not give each other presents this past Christmas because they were saving their money to pay the application fees for Obama’s immigration program.

With the delay, the family now plans on exchanging small gifts on Wednesday.

“We feel powerless but not defeated, sure that it will all work out,” said Ramon, who cleans homes for a living in

Houston but was a psychologist in her native Colombia.

She said she lives in fear, afraid a simple traffic ticket will take her away from her family.

She recalled an accident five years ago when a police officer asked her for her driver’s license. She told the officer that she didn’t have it and that she had been on her way to take her daughter Isabella, who has Down syndrome, to physical therapy. The officer let her go with a warning.

“I know there are good people. I know there are people who understand the human reasons why we are here,” she said. nnn Ericka Alvarez, 35, was planning on applying this week for Obama’s program for those brought to the country illegally as children.

She and her husband want to buy a mobile home in Santa Clarita, California, where they can live with their two children.

They have saved the $10,000 deposit and qualify for a loan,

but the park owner won’t let them in because they don’t have Social Security numbers, she said.

Alvarez also worries when she boards a plane to a training session for her job as a nutritional-supplement saleswoman, since she carries only her Mexican passport. She had hoped Obama’s program would change that before her next trip.

“I’m thinking about whether I should go or not,” she said. nnn Jessica Nuñez, 40, and her husband have been in the United States for 18 years and have three U.S.-born children.

Originally from Santana, in the Mexican state of Sonora, Nuñez lives in Tucson, Arizona, and has been gathering the paperwork to apply to the new program this year.

Nuñez said life without legal status has been tough, especially when family emergencies arise in Mexico and she can’t go back.

“It’s like they have our hands tied,” she said.

Chicago-area imam charged with sex abuse, faces civil suit

By MICHAEL TARM Associated Press

CHICAGO — A prominent Islamic scholar and longtime head of a suburban Chicago school has been charged with sexually abusing a 23-yearold woman who worked at the school, authorities said Tuesday. A civil suit filed hours later accuses him of abusing that employee and three students.

Mohammad Abdullah Saleem, 75, who founded the school in Elgin, called Institute of Islamic Education, is charged with felony criminal sexual abuse. Prosecutors say

that he abused the woman, an administrative assistant at the time, in a series of escalating incidents over months.

The civil suit filed in Cook County Circuit Court accuses Saleem him of abusing that employee, as well as three other females when they were students at the school. Lawyer Steven Denny said that over decades, Saleem abused the trust accorded to him as a religious leader who was widely respected in closeknit Muslim communities.

“This place was ripe for abuse,” Denny told a news conference.

LOS ANGELES — How to keep the “modern” in “Modern Family” in its sixth season? Create an episode that plays out completely on a computer and in the realm of social media.

That’s what’s in store Feb. 25 on the ABC comedy’s “Connection Lost,” a half-hour that revolves around Claire Dunphy’s (Julie Bowen) frantic effort to locate daughter Haley (Sarah Hyland) after they squabble.

Other than a few scenes shot with the MacBook Pro, the episode was captured entirely with iPhone 6s and iPads, series co-creator and executive producer Steve Levitan said.

ABC and producer Twentieth Century Fox Television announced the project Tuesday.

This isn’t Apple’s first starring role on “Modern Family.”

On the brink of the iPad’s retail debut in 2010, the tablet was portrayed as a sought-after birthday gift.

Glasgow said he talked to his client about the Elgin charges and that he “categorically denies the allegations.” He had not had a chance to speak to him about the lawsuit. No one answered the phone Tuesday at the school, which has students from grades six through 12 and is located 25 miles northwest of Chicago.

Saleem, of Gilberts, was arrested Sunday, the Elgin Police

Department said. Police said they started investigating after the woman contacted authorities in December.

During Tuesday’s bond hearing, prosecutors alleged that a month after the woman started working at the school in September 2012, Saleem started removing the religious veil from her face and came into her office to hug her.

Ukraine soldiers taken prisoner in fight for hub

By PETR JOSEK and JIM HEINTZ Associated Press

LUHANSKE, Ukraine — Under a near-constant barrage of artillery fire, Ukrainian forces and separatist rebels fought fierce street battles Tuesday for control of the strategic railway hub of Debaltseve, a battle impeding implementation of a peace plan.

Ukraine denied rebel claims to have taken control of the town but acknowledged the separatists had seized parts of it. The battle came despite a weekend cease-fire that obliged both sides to start moving back their big guns on Tuesday.

A key railroad junction between the separatist east’s two main cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, Debaltseve has been the focus of fighting over the past two weeks and capturing it would be a prize for the Russiabacked rebels.

The defense ministry said street battles continued there Tuesday and government soldiers had been ambushed and taken prisoner, but gave no details on how many were seized.

Rebel spokesman Eduard Basurin said hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers had surrendered

in Debaltseve.

Associated Press journalists were turned back by Ukrainian forces at Luhanske, a village about 10 miles (15 kilometers) north of Debaltseve and were unable to assess the status of the fight.

The leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, one of two separatist entities, was wounded in the leg and hospitalized in the neighboring Luhansk region, Russia’s RIA-Novosti news agency quoted a Luhansk rebel official as saying. Zakharchenko’s life was not in danger, the report said.

The Ukrainian presidential office called on the European Union and NATO to condemn the Russia-backed rebels for violating the cease-fire brokered by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France last week.

The war in eastern Ukraine has already killed more than 5,600 people and displaced more than a million, the United Nations said Monday. It has also left the country’s industrial heartland in ruins.

On Tuesday, a deadline passed for both sides to begin pulling back heavy weapons from the front line.

Ukrainian government soldiers sit on top of their armored vehicle driving on a road stretching away from the town of Artemivsk, Ukraine, towards Debaltseve, Tuesday.

Rebel commander Vladimir Kononov said on Russian television that most of Debaltseve was under separatist control and urged the Ukrainian troops to surrender.

“Their only choice is to leave behind weaponry, lay down arms and surrender,” he said.

The announcement by the rebels came after fierce fighting that appeared to be focused on Debaltseve. Both sides in the conflict claim the town is on their side of the cease-fire line, and the issue was not resolved under the cease-fire deal.

Rebel official Basurin an-

nounced in a televised briefing that the separatists “will take the initiative” and begin to pull back their big guns from some sections of the front line. He did not provide a timeline.

The Ukrainian government, however, insisted on a comprehensive cease-fire before pulling back its weaponry.

AP reporters saw near-constant artillery rounds fired Tuesday from Ukrainian government positions at rebel fighters around Debaltseve. Sustained shelling was heard in the area all morning, some coming from Grad rocket launchers.

“The situation in Debaltseve is extremely complicated and is changing by the hour,” Ukrainian military spokesman Andruy Lysenko said late Tuesday.

“Several groups of the enemy have burst into the city.”

The cease-fire deal, which was to take effect early Sunday, specifies the pullout begin on the second day after the parties stop fighting. This condition has not been met, Lysenko said.

“As soon as the fire ceases ... we will be ready to begin the withdrawal,” he said.

Fighting has stopped or subsided in some parts of wartorn eastern Ukraine, however.

Basurin said Tuesday the separatists had not seen any violations of the cease-fire in the area around the rebel stronghold of Donetsk since 8 p.m.

Monday.

The continued fighting comes as concern remains about whether the United States will decide to send lethal weapons to Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday at a news conference in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, that, “according to our information, these weapons are already being delivered.” He did not elaborate but said the consequences

of new weapons for Ukraine would be “the number of victims, of course, can increase.

But the result will be the same as it is today. This is unavoidable.”

He also suggested the Ukrainian forces in Debaltseve should lay down their arms.

“I reckon that the leaders of the fighters ... would not hold these people, prevent them from leaving the conflict zone and returning to their families,” he said.

Rupert Colville, spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, told a briefing in Geneva on Tuesday that the U.N. was “alarmed” by reports of continued shelling and has not been able to get reliable information on casualties or the well-being of civilians.

“It is unclear how many civilians are still there,” he said. “We are particularly concerned about the civilians trapped in the area. We believe there may be a few thousand hiding in cellars, struggling to get food, water and other basic necessities.”

Elsewhere, at least one rebel leader claimed that his troops had begun to withdraw their heavy weapons.

France: Tracking 400 believed to be in terror sleeper cells

By LORI HINNANT and JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press

PARIS — France is tracking hundreds of people believed to belong to possible sleeper cells for terror organizations like al-Qaida or the Islamic State group, the country’s top security official said.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve laid out what has become an increasingly urgent question for European intelligence services: How to

trace the moment when someone transforms from a disgruntled criminal or a disaffected citizen into a terrorist, and how to block those first steps toward radicalization.

“Four hundred targets have been identified by our intelligence services that are more or less sleeper cells, affiliated or in relation with al-Qaida-type organizations, that can strike like the Kouachi brothers,” Cazeneuve said in an interview late Monday.

Said and Cherif Kouachi were French-born brothers who

killed 12 people in Paris on Jan. 7 when they stormed the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.

They were shot dead by police in a confrontation two days later.

Cazeneuve said he wants new measures to give intelligence services more leeway to monitor suspects’ electronic communications. He is heading to the United States on Wednesday to try and persuade Internet giants to step up and help stem extremists’ ability to use propaganda videos to recruit and indoctrinate new followers.

C

K

Facebook, Twitter, Apple and Google — all major vectors for increasingly sophisticated jihadi clips targeting potential followers in the West — will be among his stops in Silicon Valley.

“Ninety percent of those who commit terrorist acts fall into it after regularly consulting websites or blogs that call for or provoke terrorism,” Cazeneuve said.

With the news that the suspected gunman in the deadly Copenhagen attacks this weekend may have been radicalized

during a series of stints in jail — like at least two of the gunmen in the Paris attacks last month — Cazeneuve’s trip to the U.S. to strengthen intelligence sharing between governments and win over the tech firms takes on added importance.

The pace of foreign fighters joining the Islamic State and other extremist groups has not slowed and at least 3,400 come from Western nations among 20,000 from around the world, U.S. intelligence officials say.

“We won’t be able to deal with this subject by always brushing the dust under the rug,” Cazeneuve said. “At some point the dust gets thicker than the rug.”

The minister said the Kouachi brothers were under French surveillance from 2011 until 2014 after the U.S. government tipped off the French about Said Kouachi’s trip to Yemen, but the monitoring produced nothing that indicated the brothers were on the verge of a deadly attack.

Uneasy alliance of Kurds, Shiites formed in northern Iraq

By VIVIAN SALAMA and BRAM JANSSEN Associated Press

KIRKUK, Iraq — Shiite militiamen shuttle back and forth to the nearby front lines from a sprawling military base near the northern oil-rich city of Kirkuk. They hoist billboards of their commander, bellow Shiite prayers from mosque loudspeakers and chant the name of their spiritual leader.

All of this unsettles Kurdish leaders and residents who have sought for years to carve out a semiautonomous homeland in northern Iraq and since last summer have been battling the Sunni extremists from the Islamic State to keep hold of Kirkuk.

While the recently arrived Shiite fighters have been welcomed by the Kurds to take on a common enemy, the alliance is an uneasy one.

When the IS militants swept across northern and western Iraq last year, seizing towns and cities, tens of thousands of Shiite men answered a call to arms by the country’s top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali alSistani, to defend the nation.

Now those Arab fighters have arrived in Kirkuk, long one of Iraq’s most disputed territories. They have made a string of bases their home only 10 kilometers (six miles) from the city, where the Kurds have

been exclusively in charge since repelling the IS militants.

Friction between the Kurds and Arabs feeds the combustible inter-ethnic competition over who will ultimately control of the city.

The Shiite fighters, officially known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, were instrumental last summer in helping the faltering Iraqi military stall the IS push outside Baghdad.

They have also teamed up with Kurdish peshmerga forces in a number of battles, breaking the siege of the northern Shiitemajority town of Amirli in August, and recently driving IS militants from a string of towns in Diyala province, northeast of the Iraqi capital.

But the arrival of the Shiite fighters in Kirkuk, 290 kilometers (180 miles) north of Baghdad, has provoked deep-rooted sensitivities.

Kirkuk, located along the fluid line that separates Kurdish northern Iraq from the rest of the country, is home to Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen, and all have competing claims to the area.

Kurdish forces claimed control of the city just days after the Islamic State group seized northern Iraqi cities including Mosul and Tikrit.

The Kurds have long wanted to incorporate the city into their semiautonomous region, but Arabs and Turkmen oppose

this.

Holding onto Kirkuk has not been easy. Last month, IS fighters — aided by what the Kurds say was a Sunni sleeper cell in the city — stormed an abandoned Kirkuk hotel, and then staged a surprise attack on a peshmerga outpost, killing a top commander and several of his troops.

The attacks underscored the Kurds’ tenuous hold on the city, and the semiautonomous Kurdish government appealed for more weapons and training from the U.S.-led coalition forces.

Since then, thousands of fighters from a handful of militias such as the powerful Iranbacked Badr Brigades, have flooded into Kirkuk and surrounding Tamim province.

Kirkuk Gov. Najmaldin Karim welcomed the Shiite forces, but Massoud Barzani, the president of the Kurdish regional government, insisted that the Shiite militiamen would be “prohibited under any circumstances” from entering the city.

Badr Brigades spokesman Mullah Mohammed Yousseff roared with laughter when he was told that.

“We are already in Kirkuk,” Yousseff said from behind his desk inside a trailer at the Taza Batallion base.

“We have to fight,” he told recent visitors from The Associated Press. “Our religion le-

from his militia to reinforce the area — much to the consternation of the Kurds.

At least 2,000 fighters have arrived at the Taza base since al-Amiri’s visit. Several militia commanders in Kirkuk estimate that as many as 5,000 Shi-

ite fighters arrived in the region this month alone.

“I’m here because ... alSistani called on us to protect our country,” said 24-year-old Shiite fighter Amir al-Qassim, a Baghdad native who came to Kirkuk in January.

Nikiski girls, SoHi boys notch wins

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

A fast and flashy show of offense carried the Soldotna boys to a 77-54 nonconference win over Nikiski on senior night Tuesday at Soldotna High School.

Whether it be transition dunks by Joe Weltzin, hold-your-breath 3s by Brooks Furlong, stolen layups by Tim Duke or lightning-quick drives by Nate Spence, the senior class had a ball.

“We played eight or nine guys tonight, so we have some depth,” Spence

said after the game. “We can all get up and down, play defense and run over the court.”

Weltzin scored a game-high 26 points to lead SoHi, while Spence netted 15 and Furlong added 14. Furlong ended the night with four 3s.

The remaining seniors all got into the scoring column as well — Hunter Phillips had six points, Duke had four, Drew Fowler had eight and Matt Trammell chipped in two.

Senior Brady Malston led Nikiski with 13 points, and teammate Hunter Holloway added 12.

“It’s senior night, and especially with so many guys, it was a great way to send them out,” Spence added.

With a slate of Northern Lights Conference road games this weekend against Palmer, Wasilla and Colony, the Stars will have their hands full.

But SoHi coach Mark Tuter said if the Stars can exploit a zone defense like they did Tuesday, the weekend will be made much easier.

“I think next week we’ll be running into teams with tougher defenses,” Tuter said. “We’ve been working a lot with our set offenses so it’ll be a real

complement for us.”

Tuter said he was pleased with the way his squad matched up with Nikiski’s zone defense, which allowed the Stars to grab steals and get secondchance points.

“We were clicking pretty well against their defense tonight,” he said.

“We were picking it apart.”

Soldotna (10-5 overall) started hot as Furlong’s trey with 2:49 left in the first quarter kickstarted an 8-0 run that was capped by a Weltzin’s crowdpleasing, two-handed dunk.

Furlong’s transition layup with 28

seconds left in the first quarter sparked another mini run that had SoHi up 2514 early in the second quarter.

Malston and Sam Tauriainen answered back for Nikiski with a few big buckets, but any chipping away of the lead they did was undone by Weltzin’s baseline shots.

The Bulldogs cut the lead to 35-29 with 1:44 to play in the first half on a 3-pointer by Malston, but the Stars answered with some crafty play; Furlong nailed a trey of his own with 1:02 left on the clock, and on the ensuing See HOOPS, page A-11

No. 1 Kentucky stays perfect

By The Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Devin Booker had 18 points and seven rebounds as No. 1 Kentucky picked up its defense in the second half and extended the best start in school history Tuesday night with a 66-48 victory over Tennessee.

Kentucky is 26-0 for the first time, though the Wildcats finished the 1953-54 season with a 25-0 mark. It also matches the best start for a team coached by John Calipari, who won his first 26 games at Massachusetts in 1995-96 and was 26-0 at Memphis in 2007-08.

No. 10 NOTRE DAME 88, WAKE FOREST 75.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Jerian Grant had 24 points and 10 assists to lead Notre Dame.

Pat Connaughton added 13 points for the Irish (23-4, 11-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) who hit 27 of 28 at the free-throw line,

including their last 19.

Devin Thomas, who averaged 20 points and eight rebounds in Wake Forest’s two wins over the Irish last year, had 26 points and 11 boards for the Demon Deacons (12-15, 4-10). Notre Dame, second in the nation in field goal shooting coming in, hit just one of its first 12 attempts after not playing a game in six days. The Irish took a 43-41 lead into halftime after Grant’s drive and layup with three seconds left.

No. 13 WICHITA ST. 84, S. ILLINOIS 62 CARBONDALE, Ill. — Shaquille Morris scored a career-high 17 points to lead Wichita State to its fifth straight win.

Morris made 7 of his 8 shots for the Shockers (25-3, 14-1 Missouri Valley). Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker each scored 13 and Tekele Cotton added 10.

Deion Lavender’s 15 points led Southern Illinois (10-18, 3-12). Anthony Beane added 14 points and Jordan Caroline scored 10.

The Shockers led by 13 at the half and used a 9-0 run early in second half to put the game away.

They made 10 of 19 3-pointers and had 18 assists on 28 baskets.

Prince was 9 for 14 from the field, including three 3-pointers.

NEW YORK — It appears the only place Alex Rodriguez might detail his drug use is on a witness stand.

The ever controversial New York Yankees star decided against holding a news conference ahead of his return to the team following a one-year absence. He issued a vague five-paragraph handwritten apology Tuesday “for the mistakes that led to my suspension” but failed to provide specifics about how and why he resumed using performance-enhancing drugs for at least the second stretch of his celebrated career.

Readying to report back to the Yankees following an unprecedented season-long ban for violating baseball’s drug agreement and labor contract, Rodriguez apologized to team officials in person during a meeting at the ballpark on Feb. 10. They suggested he hold a news conference before the start of spring training this Friday and offered the use of Yankee Stadium.

Rodriguez declined.

He held an apologetic session with reporters in 2009 at the team’s facility in Tampa, Florida, after he admitted using banned PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03. That was before Major League Baseball

had a drug agreement with penalties.

“The only thing I ask from this group today and the American people is to judge me from this day forward,” he said then.

But he apparently did not want to face questions from media about his latest involvement with PEDs — although he could be required to testify in federal court if his cousin, Yuri Sucart, and former University of Miami pitching coach Lazaro Collazo go to trial on charges they committed crimes in their involvement with the Biogenesis of America drug clinic. Rodriguez admitted in court documents he used PEDs. ESPN The Magazine said it planned to release an interview Wednesday in which Rodriguez said he thinks Biogenesis owner Anthony Bosch gave him a placebo. Rodriguez also said he considered retirement early in his suspension, is in therapy and secretly visits colleges. He told ESPN he took a marketing class during his suspension and wants to complete his education.

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig suspended the threetime AL MVP for 211 games in August 2013, citing conduct from 2010-12 uncovered during MLB’s investigation of Biogenesis, which was based in Coral Gables, Florida, not far from Rodriguez’s home.

Sass captures Yukon Quest FAIRBANKS (AP) — Brent Sass has won the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race.

The Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reports he crossed the finish line in downtown Fairbanks at 10:52 p.m. Sass is from Eureka.

He left the Two Rivers checkpoint two minutes behind defending champion Allen Moore but passed him on

the trail.

The race covers 1,000 miles of rugged and unforgiving terrain.

Sass had a nearly 10-hour lead over Moore but lost it when he slept through his alarm.

Sass will get nearly $30,000 for the win and 4 ounces of gold nuggets for being the first musher to the halfway point of Dawson City, Yukon.

Ovechkin plays starring role as Capitals defeat Penguins

By The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Alex Ovechkin scored his NHL-leading 37th goal and assisted on Joel Ward’s winner with just more than four minutes remaining to lift the Washington Capitals to a testy 3-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.

Ovechkin beat Marc-Andre Fleury on a breakaway in the first period.

The three-time MVP then helped set up Ward’s first career goal against the Penguins as Washington improved to 3-0 against Pittsburgh. John Carlson added a short-handed, empty-net goal with 11 seconds remaining.

Braden Holtby made 30 saves for the Capitals, who pulled within a point of the third-place Penguins in the crowded Metropolitan Division.

Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Johansen and James Wisniewski also scored for the Blue Jackets, who snapped Philadelphia’s ninegame points streak.

Wayne Simmonds and Michael Del Zotto had goals for the Flyers, who remained six points behind idle Boston for the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spot.

Trade deadline looms for NBA squads

By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

NEW YORK — The East was a two-team race at last year’s trade deadline, and Larry Bird made the move he thought would win it.

When the Indiana Pacers acquired Evan Turner from rebuilding Philadelphia, they hoped it would provide the scoring punch to beat out Miami and reach the NBA Finals. It didn’t, and Turner is now in Boston.

Now the Pacers are trying to get in the postseason, two games out of eighth place and seeking a spark that could sling-shot them past others down the bottom of the playoff ladder.

Bird promises to be as aggressive as when his team was on top.

“We’re always looking to improve the team and obviously there’s a lot of improvement that needs to be done,” the Pacers’ president said recently.

“So we’ll look around the league and

Nikiski inbound, Duke stole the ball and sent in a sneak-attack layup. Duke pulled the same stunt later in the third quarter, accounting for his only points of the game.

Leading 40-29 at halftime, the Stars returned to the court driven to add to their lead.

Fowler found space under the net for a layup, Furlong laid in another trey, and Fowler put up a second layup for a quick seven-point spurt. SoHi scored 23 points in the quarter — which was ended by a last-second trey

by Phillips — to push its lead to 63-40.

Spence drilled a 3-pointer with 1:14 to play to cap off his night, as well as most of the seniors on the floor. Following the shot, Tuter immediately subbed in several bench players to the applause of the crowd.

“That was a great moment, to hit that 3 and end my year playing at home,” Spence said.

“All my teammates that I’ve played with for four years, that was special.”

Nikiski girls 48, Soldotna 42 The Nikiski girls have proven themselves to be one of the premier Class 3A girls teams in the state this year by racking up a glorious record. Tuesday night, they showed they can contend with any team, regardless of rank.

Helped by 15-for-18 shooting from the free throw line, Nikiski (14-5) toppled the Class 4A Soldotna Stars with a nonconference win.

“I’m really proud of the girls, they’ve really bought into our system this year,” said Nikiski coach Scott Anderson.

“They play great defense, they play well together, and I really can’t ask for more than that.”

Senior Rachel Thompson scored a game-high 22 points to lead the Bulldogs, while teammate Alison Litke netted 12.

Hayley Ramsell led the SoHi seniors with 12 points, and junior Lindsey Wong added 12 as well. The Stars were missing key starter Kelsey Jackson due to an injury in practice.

The game was close through much the night, but Nikiski pulled away in the end thanks to a few clutch shots by Litke.

Anderson said the Nikiski junior has improved her game in recent weeks, which has helped spread the floor on offense and

talk to a lot of different people and see what’s out there and hopefully we can do something that makes us better.”

If not, he said, he’ll wait until the summer.

That’s what every NBA team has to decide in the next couple of days.

The trade deadline is Thursday afternoon, and with many teams in contention, the question is whether that makes them more conservative or cautious.

Help could be found in the hours before the NBA returns from its AllStar break. But some will be hesitant to tinker with so little time left in the season. The Turner deal, in which Indiana traded popular veteran Danny Granger, certainly didn’t help its locker room chemistry.

Plus, teams can plug holes by simply opening their wallets, without costing any assets.

Houston signed Josh Smith after he was waived by Detroit, Amare Stou-

opened it up for a better balance in scoring.

“It was kind of by design by the girls,” Anderson said. “They understand that if they wanna be successful later on down the road, they need to even out that scoring and do a better job at looking at the basket and attacking.”

Trailing 25-21 at halftime, the Stars came back in the second half with buckets from Wong and Ramsell that had the game tied at 29 apiece with 4:49 left in the third quarter.

That’s when Litke found her groove. Litke cobbled together a 7-1 effort by herself that distance the Bulldogs, and when SoHi tried to fight back, Thompson stepped up, hitting a trey with 7:15 left in the fourth quarter to push the lead to 4135.

From there, Nikiski used clock management to try to keep the Stars from touching the ball as least as possible.

Nikolaevsk cagers sweep Kenai C teams The visiting Nikolaevsk girls and boys basketball teams notched victories over the Kenai C team on Tuesday.

The Warriors girls won 5325, taking control with a 13-6 second quarter that gave them a 21-13 lead at halftime. Serafima Kalugin had 20 points for Nikolaevsk, while Vera Fefelov added 12.

The Nikolaevsk boys won 74-50, taking a 19-10 lead after the first quarter. Felemon Molodih pumped in 25 points for the Warriors, while Nikit Fefelov had 22. Jonah Fefelov added 10 rebounds for the Warriors.

demire is headed to the Mavericks once he clears waivers, and other veterans could be bought out and become free agents after the deadline.

One of the most intriguing moves could involve Ray Allen, who will have contending suitors if he opts to play after sitting out all season.

The teams most motivated to deal might be the disappointing ones.

Brooklyn probably can’t find a taker for Deron Williams with all his injuries and dollars left on the $98.5 million contract he signed in 2012, but was close to moving Brook Lopez earlier this season. Denver’s rocky season should have contenders calling to inquire about Arron Afflalo, Ty Lawson or Wilson Chandler.

The right move can help someone surge through spring. The wrong one could mean an early start on summer.

Don’t count on top stars changing teams — none has at the deadline

NEW YORK — A soft-spoken beagle really raised a ruckus.

Wagging her tail a mile a minute, Miss P became America’s top dog Tuesday night by winning best in show in a big surprise at the Westminster Kennel Club.

At 4, Miss P is a grand-niece of Uno — in 2008, the immensely popular hound barked and bayed his way to becoming the only previous beagle to win at the nation’s most prominent dog show.

Miss P, however, didn’t let out a peep in the ring.

“She is a princess,” handler Will Alexander said.

A quiet one, too. Not your normal, everyday, vocal beagle, as most owners can attest.

Bosch sentenced to 4 years in prison MIAMI — The former owner of a Florida medical clinic who posed as a doctor and illegally supplied steroid injections and other performance-enhancing drugs to professional baseball players and even high school athletes was sentenced Tuesday to four years in federal prison.

Anthony Bosch — who choked back tears in court and said the clinic was a legitimate business gone awry — sought a more lenient term because of his cooperation in the investigation, but U.S. District Judge Darrin Gayles refused.

acquired Kyle Korver from Chicago, and he could be headed for the best perimeter-shooting season in NBA history.

“When I got traded to Atlanta I was coming from Chicago and I wasn’t really all that excited about it, to be honest with you. But all the people that Danny Ferry kept on bringing in, they’ve been not just good basketball people, but good people,” Korver said.

“When I was a free agent two summers ago, I chose to come back.

We had some opportunities to go to some teams that already were more established and could win, but I just really believed in what Atlanta was building and what they were doing.

I could see my role in it and I just wanted to be a part of that. I never thought that it would come together this quickly.”

That’s the lightning in a bottle every team is hoping to catch.

Karl takes another try at NBA

By JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — After more than 1,100 wins, a trip to the NBA Finals, and a Coach of the Year award in his final season in Denver, George Karl still feels he has some unfinished business in the NBA. So Karl left a cushy job as a television analyst to take over one of the league’s least successful teams when he was introduced Tuesday as the new coach of a Sacramento Kings team that has lost the second most games in the NBA over the past nine seasons.

“I’ve missed the gym and I love the game,” Karl said. “I wanted one more shot to try to win a championship.”

He is joining a team that is far from that level, having not

made the playoffs nor had a winning record since 2005-06.

Karl is the third coach this season for the Kings, taking over for Tyrone Corbin, who lasted just two months after replacing the fired Michael Malone.

The second in-season change comes after general manager Pete D’Alessandro committed to Corbin for the rest of the season. But after watching the team go 7-21 under Corbin following a promising 11-13 start under Malone, D’Alessandro decided to make another change to a coach he was familiar with from his time in the front office in Denver when Karl was on the sideline.

“You get to the point where you say I know who I want to coach the team and he’s available,” D’Alessandro said.

“Sometimes, you have to ac-

knowledge what we’ve done is wrong.”

Karl had been watching the Kings closely in his job as an analyst at ESPN and said he saw a team that lost confidence in recent weeks.

He wants to spend the final 30 games trying to build that back up and figure out what kind of players he has heading into the offseason.

“I think there’s enough talent on this team to win games, enough talent to come back and connect with one another in a way that you can be a solid to good basketball team night in and night out,” Karl said. “It will take some time.”

Karl last coached in the 2012-13 season, when he won NBA Coach of the Year with the Nuggets before being fired following a first-round playoff

loss to the Warriors.

The Nuggets made the postseason all nine years under Karl. They advanced past the first round only once during his tenure, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2009 Western Conference finals.

“I never really totally understood what happened in Denver,” Karl said. “I knew that how we were playing I had to do it again because I thought there were things happening there that were really good but could be better.”

The 63-year-old Karl, a twotime cancer survivor, is one of nine coaches in league history to surpass 1,000 wins. He has 1,131 victories as a head coach, with stops in Cleveland, Golden State, Seattle and Milwaukee, earning a reputation for turning around teams.

Henson leads Hall of Fame class

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When he arrived at Illinois in 1975, the first thing Lou Henson did was preach patience.

The new coach wanted to build the Fighting Illini into a national contender, but he wanted to do it with in-state prospects, even if it’d take a while. So that first year, Henson and his young assistants met with more than 400 high school coaches, building relationships for the future.

It took five years before they paid off, and even then it was a trip to the NIT. It wasn’t until 1981 that Henson finally took his team to the NCAA tournament. But with the foundation laid, Henson would take them

to 11 more tournaments and a Final Four appearance in 1989, along the way becoming one of the most respected tacticians in the college game.

On Tuesday, he learned he was headed for the College Basketball Hall of Fame.

Henson will be joined in this year’s class by fellow coaches Don Donoher of Dayton and C. Felton “Zip” Gayles of Langston, and five players: Ohio State All-American John Havlicek, Indiana standout Quinn Buckner, Kansas State star Rolando Blackman, North Carolina trailblazer Charlie Scott and Long Beach State star Ed Ratleff.

They will be enshrined Nov. 20 during a ceremony at the Arvest Bank Theatre in Kansas City.

“Don Donoher and Lou Henson took their teams to the NCAA Final Four while Zip Gayles was a trailblazer and role model for athletes and coaches,” said Reggie Minton, the deputy executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and chair of the Hall of Fame selection panel. “The men selected as players include some great allaround athletes who helped lead their teams to championships in the NCAA, Olympic Games and the NBA.” Henson began his coaching career at Hardin-Simmons, then built a perennial winner at New Mexico State. But it wasn’t until he arrived at Illinois that he established a powerhouse, and even then, it was only after the

kind of patience that few coaches are granted these days.

“We had a lot of great talent in Illinois, and I said, ‘Look, we’re not going to win for a while,’” Henson recalled, “but we’re going to try to build relations in our state. And we did.”

By the time he took the Fighting Illini to the Final Four, where they fell to Big Ten rival Michigan, all of his starters had grown up in Chicago or elsewhere in the state.

Henson had plenty of opportunities over the years to coach against Donoher, his fellow Hall of Fame inductee. Donoher spent his entire 25-year career at Dayton, leading the Flyers to eight NCAA tournaments and the 1967 title game, where they lost to John Wooden and UCLA.

since Utah surprisingly sent Williams to the Nets on the eve of the 2011 one.

Teams more likely trade at this point to clear cap space for the summer, which is why the New York Knicks could seek a deal for Jose Calderon after already shipping out guards J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert.

Cleveland acquired them and, along with getting Timofey Mozgov from Denver in a separate deal, perhaps proved the best moves for this season were already made.

Dallas acted quickly to acquire Rajon Rondo from Boston in December, not long before Memphis capitalized on the Celtics’ youth movement to deal for Jeff Green.

For Golden State and Atlanta, the current NBA leaders, their winning moves maybe came long ago.

The Warriors got Andrew Bogut from Milwaukee at the 2012 deadline to provide some muscle in the rugged West. Five months later, the Hawks

erage and would not make Fish and Game’s escapement goal of 5,300-9,000 fish.

Kenai king salmon runs typically range in age from 3 to 7 years old, meaning biologists look at runs from 2008 forward as a predictor of the upcoming season’s return. One factor is the return per spawner, or how many fish made it back into the river from a parent generation.

While the 2008 king salmon run was within the Kenai River’s goal range at the time, Begich said several factors could reduce the number of fish returning from being spawned in those years.

“It just depends on whether or not they return more than one fish per spawner,” he said.

made the city rethink how it utilizes studs on its vehicles.

To prolong the life of its tires, Sundberg said that many of the city’s vehicles are currently operated without studs.

“You have pavement — the last two winters the state and us keep the highways and roads pretty clear, and now you’re running studs for four, five, six months,” Sundberg said.

“Three of those months, you’re running those on pavement and

your studs wear out.”

While there have been some small issues, Sundberg said overall, the lack of snow and the wet winter hasn’t been a big issue. He said ultimately, the weather decides many issues.

“You budget the best you can, and Mother Nature runs the show,” Sundberg said.

oil prices have fallen dramatically, and that’s impacted the state’s budget. We are supporting responsible and safe oil drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve and in the Outer Continental Shelf.”

In talks with state lawmakers, she said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon in Anchorage, she mostly listened but pledged to work toward a more productive relationship.

Their concern for developing the state’s resources with the goal of solving state problems was not echoed in Kivalina, she said.

“When I was in the village of Kivalina, they didn’t talk with me at all about resource development,” she said. “They talked to me about personal life and safety. They talked about subsistence. They talked about

a change in climate, about melting permafrost that’s impacting berry picking and their movement across the landscape.”

U.S. Rep. Don Young, RAlaska, said past administrations had treated Alaska like a “little jewel” without consideration for its residents, but Obama has been the worst.

“What’ll be accomplished?

We don’t know,” Young said.

“I’m not overly optimistic, because this is not the secretary’s, personally, I don’t think it’s her personal opinion. It’s an environmental group around the president. And the president’s decided to be against fossil fuels.”

The idea that global warming is caused by people is the “biggest charade” ever perpetrated on the people of Alaska, Young said.

“I think what viewers can expect to see is what they’ve come to expect and love about ‘Coast Guard Alaska,’” Langan told the Kodiak Daily Mirror at the time. “It’s the Coast Guard working with and for the people of Alaska to keep everyone safe, especially in the maritime community and those folks in the remote villages of Alaska.”

Background checks proposed for psychologists JUNEAU — Alaska psychologists could be required to undergo a background check under a proposed change to the licensing process.

The Senate Labor and Commerce Committee moved a bill Tuesday that would allow the Board of Psychologist and Psychological Associate Examiners to require criminal background checks.

Board member Al Levy said the board has tried for several years to require background checks, but needs statutory authority to do so. There have been no problems so far in Alaska, he said.

The current licensing process includes a check on an applicant’s license in other states and self-disclosure of criminal history.

ur Dad loved to go to Sunday School and Church. He also loved to drag every kid in the surrounding area along with him. It was not unusual to have from 10 to 14 kids packed in the pea green four door Dodge.

Saturday night was bath night.

We polished our shoes. We decided what to wear to Sunday School and went to bed early.

Sunday morning Mom made a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon or sausage. Then we got ready for Sunday School. For some reason, we never called it Church.

Dad would go milk the cow, bring the pail of milk into the house, pour in jars and put it in the “fridger-rater.” He would wash his hands and face, shave and go into the bedroom to get dressed.

He had a ritual that never changed. He would stand in the closet in his boxer shorts and his vee-necked tee shirt, reach for his hat on the top shelf of the closet and put it on his head. He would unbutton the nicely starched and ironed white shirt, take it off the hanger and put it on, button up to the top button and stand in front of the mirror and put on his tie.

Next, he put his socks on, pulled his suit pants on, slipped into his shoes and tied them, put the belt through the loops and buckled it. Lastly, put his suit coat on, come out of the bedroom and say “You ready?” He would go out the kitchen door, after telling Mom goodbye and go sit in the car until we all got in, start the engine, put it in “go gear” and off down the dirt road we would go to Sunday school.

He picked up neighbor kids along the way but before we got to church we had to endure his singing! In his booming, mono-tone voice, he would belt out, “Oh That Strawberry Roan, Oh That Strawberry Roan. She was a sun-fishin’ son of a gun.

She would jump through the air with the greatest of ease, she would turn on a dime and leave you some change. OHHH! That Strawberry Roan!” Then he would serenaded us with “Big Rock Candy Mountain, “whar” the mountains were candy and the clouds were fluff, the rivers were

Beside the steak, a restaurant-quality steak dinner includes a salad with blue cheese dressing, sautéed mushrooms and creamed spinach. Tender, juicy and flavorful, the bone-in ribeye steak, pictured left smothered in sautéed mushrooms, is cut from the same area of beef used for making prime rib.

A rare steak, like the one pictured here, will be lightly charred on the outside, a bit brown around the sides and bright red and slightly warm in the middle.

*Kitchen Ade note: Depending on the amount of sodium in the bacon used, a teaspoon of salt may be too much for this recipe, so it is better to Cook spinach according to pack- add salt to taste.

Middle-school students create dishes for district menu

By JAN BILES The Topeka Capital-Journal

In this Jan. 26 photo, kitchen manager Trudi Brogan, left, sprinkles cheese on top of a chili entrée recently being sampled by seventh-grade math students at Washburn Rural Middle School in Topeka, Kan. As part of a math enrichment project assigned by teacher Cindy Jones, the students were divided into teams and asked to come up with an entree that met the required nutritional guidelines and cost constraints of the school food service program.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Seventhgrade math students at Washburn Rural Middle School reported early to the school lunchroom in late January. They weren’t there to eat the noon-day meal but to sample four entrees prepared by the school’s cooks from recipes they had created for inclusion on the menus drawn up by Auburn-Washburn Unified School District 437’s food service staff.

As part of a weeklong math enrichment project assigned by teacher Cindy Jones, the 48 students were divided into teams and asked to come up with an entree that met the required nutritional guidelines and cost constraints of the school food service program, The Topeka Capital-Journal (http://bit. ly/1zjqSZQ ) reported.

They had to figure out the cost of each meal per pupil and the overall cost, as well as the number of calories, grams of fat and milligrams of sodium in the dish. They also converted the amount of ingredients in their recipes to feed the school’s 600 students.

“The math was crazy,” Jones said of the calculations done by the students.

“We were studying a unit on scaling and comparing proportions, and we thought about making it real-world and we wanted them to use a recipe they cared about.”

Sitting before the students were two variations of chili and two variations of nachos based on their recipes.

The students were to sample the dishes as part of a final review and then vote for the best-tasting entree in each category.

Sofie Conard and Jordyn Seamans, both 12, were eager to see how their team’s Black Bean Chili with Fries turned out.

“We wanted to think of something with beef, beans and veggies,” Sofie said. “We thought about soup, and then we got the chili idea.”

“We got the recipe off a cooking website,” Jordyn said. “We had to change some ingredients because they were too expensive or wouldn’t fit the calories.”

Kitchen manager Trudi Brogan said the students’ original recipe called for

curly fries. However, by substituting stick-like fries, they were able to save 10 cents per serving.

“Fifty to 75 cents per entree is what we shoot for,” she said.

In some cases, the students’ recipes had to be altered because the school couldn’t purchase some of the ingredients from its bulk supplier.

Sofie and Jordyn gave their entree a thumbs-up.

“We thought about fries on the side, but they put the chili on top of the fries,” Sofie said.

“It was good. I liked it with the fries,” Jordyn said.

Lakhota Conklin, 13, Tori Carter, 12, and Rashan Ross, 13, were part of the team that submitted a recipe for chicken nachos. The school cooks prepared a seasoned shredded chicken with cheese sauce and a variation that was more like a chicken-cheese dip with tortilla chips.

“We had a quesadilla at first, but they already had that (on the school menu),” Tori said, explaining why they chose nachos.

RHUBARB OR BLUEBERRY OR PEACH OR CHERRY UPSIDE CAKE (Pg 85 of Cookin’ on the Wood Stove”) You can bake almost anything on the top of the wood stove as long as you form an “oven” by inverting a larger pan over your recipe and the stove is hot enough.

Don’t expect it to be picture perfect, just good eating!

Wash and slice or thaw rhubarb to have 3 cups In a 10 inch cast iron skillet melt 1/4 cup butter.

The closer to Sunday School we got, he would switch to hymns.

“The Old Rugged Cross.” “ I Come To The Garden Alone, while the dew is still on the roses and He walks with me and He talks with me.”

Next song, one of his very favorites, “Into my heart, Come Into My Heart, Lord Jesus, Come Into My Heart.” Then, “Jesus Loves Me, This I know, Jesus Love Me This I know.....fooooorrr the Bible tells meeeee soooooo!”

When we turned a certain corner into Fort Collins, he would sing “Nearer My God to Thee.” All the songs were sung with one eye on the rear view mirror to see if everyone was singing with him. We got the “stink eye” if we were not!

Mix slowly and add: 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp nutmeg and a shake of cinnamon 1 1/2 cups flour Mix until smooth and pour over the hot rhubarb or other fruit, quickly cover with lid or foil and place directly on wood stove with a larger pan over top. I use a round dish pan Should take about 1 to 1 1/2 hours if fire is medium hot - keeping the heat consistent. Peek quickly and carefully to see if top of cake is done.

If top is shiny and wet looking, bake another half hour.

Serve from the skillet. Pass the whipped cream!

We owe our, out of tune, mono-tone voices, to our Dad. We did not mind his singing, as his loud voice was full of happiness, cheerfulness and love.

Dad parked at Church and we tumbled from the car, happily running up the stairs to our different class rooms for Sunday School. Dad taught a class with the same enthusiasm that he sang. Reading verses out of the Bible to his audience and telling stories that had great morals.

His enthusiasm was contagious! We all, at one time, ended up teaching Sunday school or playing the piano in Little Church. This was taught by “Mrs. Reverend Grether” a little itty-bitty lady with a big, big smile and lots of love and kindness. Little Church was for little guys who could not sit still in Big Church, which had “Mr. Reverend Grether” as the minister.

Instead of just babysitting, she had Little Church, complete with rows of folding chairs, hymn books

. . . Dish Continued from page B-1

The seventh-graders were divided on which dish they liked the best: Tori and Rashan liked the shredded chicken, while Lakhota voted for the dip.

At a later date, the students will return to the lunchroom to sample variations of a sweetand-sour chicken recipe and a bierocks recipe that features a whole wheat roll with ground beef and cabbage that is served with barbecue sauce on the side.

The bierocks recipe was proposed by 13-year-old Rachel Meyer, who said her stepfather likes to make bierocks at home.

Her team agreed to go along with the recipe even though some of them had never eaten bierocks.

Rachel said her step-father and mother will

and Bibles on every seat. We were very important to her, which made us feel important. Anyone who could play the piano was the pianist.

I had that honor for a while, as well as my sisters. It helped me get over my fright of being in front of people by playing the piano, however well I played. Mistakes were not mistakes in her book, she just sang over the top of the mistakes and the pianist would catch up whenever they could. What a grand lady!

There were snacks afterwards and the boys folded the chairs.

When we heard Big Church let out we could go get our coats, help the little ones with theirs and wait for our parents to come down the stairs to get us.

We all ran to the car and after Dad shook hands and talked to several people, he would get in, look around to see if everyone was accounted for. We headed around the corner and down the street for Poudre Valley Creamery for the

be able to eat the dish once it is placed on the district’s menu rotation. Her step-father, Marc Sonderegger, is principal at Wanamaker Elementary School, and her mother, Katie Sonderegger, is a fifth-grade teacher at Indian Hills Elementary.

“They’ll be excited because it was their recipe,” she said.

As part of the enrichment project, Jones said, the students also toured the school kitchen to see the equipment and learn more about the preparation of their meals.

“They gained a real respect for what goes into it,” she said.

Rich Jones, assistant director of operations, said the food service personnel were as excited as the students about the project because they were learning about what types of foods the students prefer.

“They want the kids to eat their lunches,” he said. “Our district is big on customer service, and here our kids are the customers.”

long awaited ice cream cone.

We all filed in to the creamery and each picked out their own flavor of hand dipped, wonderful tasting, ice cream. It was made right there from the cows milk that was gathered from the surrounding farms, including our Dads. We would file back into the car, sit way back in our seats and lick and lick and see who could make their ice cream last longest. Dad was always the first to finish his double decker.

Then we sang songs all the way home! *My memory is not real keen on the verses to the songs!

Colleague’s texts suggest she has more in mind than work DEAR ABBY: My husband is a handsome executive who works out of town. I’m a professional with a responsible job that limits my ability to travel.

I needed to borrow his phone recently and noticed that one of his colleagues has been texting him after hours. She asks if he has traveled safely, tells him she misses him, how much she enjoys working with him — all with romantic emoticons. I’m concerned that the flattery and emoticons indicate she wants more than a work-based relationship. She’s married with kids. How should I approach this?

— WORRIED WIFE IN KENTUCKY DEAR WORRIED WIFE: Because there have been more than one of these flirtatious, unbusinesslike communications, assume that your husband hasn’t discouraged them. Confront him. Tell him you feel what she’s doing is a threat to your marriage, and you want it stopped. But before you do, make copies of the texts so you can confront the woman with them if she doesn’t stop.

Also, please remind everyone to wash their hands after using the restroom.

— RUSSELL IN RICHLAND, WASH. DEAR RUSSELL: I can think of few things more unpleasant than conversing with someone with the sound of “running water” (or worse) in the background and toilets flush- Abigail Van Buren ing. Why anyone would do this is beyond me. It’s very rude.

And, while I can remind people about handwashing until the cows come home, I’ll suggest instead that men and women who use public restrooms not touch the door handle without a paper towel — when available — firmly in hand.

DEAR ABBY: I grew up in the ‘90s in a neighborDEAR ABBY: Is it OK for a man to talk on his cellphone at the urinal in a public restroom, or for a hood where the kids respected their neighbors. I now woman to talk on the phone while using the toilet in live in a different state and, obviously, a different era.

Neighborhood kids constantly use my steep driveway one of the stalls?

night: Only where the gang is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Detach from a difficult situation, but also strive to understand how others feel. It might be best to remove yourself completely before the matter becomes volatile. Stay on top of someone who might be acting a bit irrationally. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You will see a situation in a new light if you can manage not to be reactive to the other party. When paring down the problem, you could discover that you have run into an issue of power and control. Recognize that you can’t manipulate others. Tonight: In the limelight.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You will change your tune quickly if you sense a change in the mood of those around you. Get together for meetings in the morning. By midafternoon, you’ll want more alone time, whether it be at work or at home. Honor that need.

Tonight: Make it a night to be remembered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Dive into work or clear out errands quickly. By midafternoon, you could discover that your main focus has changed. Perhaps you will run into a key friend or two. Remember, you do not always need to be so serious. Tonight: Go along for the ride.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHYou might want to leave most of the day open, as a new beginning becomes possible in an emotional situation. You’ll be able to make a difference to someone who seems to be stuck in a rut.

to ride their bicycles, tricycles and scooters without asking permission.

Am I right in thinking this is rude, because in my opinion, they are trespassing? Not only could I be held responsible if one of them gets hurt on my property, but they also are extremely loud and do this while my children are trying to nap. They have been asked to stop, and I have threatened to talk to their parents, even though I don’t know where they live. What do I do?

— FRUSTRATED HOMEOWNER DEAR FRUSTRATED: Discuss this with your insurance broker. You are correct that if one of the children gets hurt on your property you could be liable. You also need to be more proactive than you have been. Tell the kids they are disturbing your children who are trying to nap, and if the kids don’t go away, find out where they live and talk to the other parents. It would be cheaper than having to install a gate in front of your driveway.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars A baby born today has a Sun and Moon in Aquarius if born before 3:50 p.m. (PST). Afterward, the Moon will be in Pisces.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2015: This year you express extra determination and endurance. Once you decide to do something, you are more than likely to arrive at that goal. You express ingenuity and a willingness to work with others. Know that when you make a resolution, it is likely to stick. If you are single, you are more in control than you are aware. You are likely to meet someone of significance in the summer. If you are attached, you could be more willful with your sweetie than you have been in the past. Be aware of this behavior, and be more willing to relax and let him or her make more decisions.

PISCES understands you better than you might realize.

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) HHHHYou could stumble into a very agreeable situation before late afternoon. You are likely to get what you want if you act quickly. A decision made today is more likely to stick than you might choose to believe. Tonight: Get some rest; you will need it very soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You’ll handle responsibilities with ease, but you might want to stop being so open to taking on additional ones. Come midday, a friendship is likely to take on a special significance. Reach out to your loved ones for some feedback. To-

don’t. Tonight: Don’t take a comment personally.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to explain exactly what you want to a loved one.

Once you do, there likely will be a new sense of closeness and a possibility for a new beginning. Fatigue could affect your ability to make an important decision. Tonight: Let your imagination take over.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Have an important discussion. Confirm an agreement.

Handle all communication before lunch. Afterward, pressure could build to a point where you will want to vanish. Just take a deep breath, slow down and relax. Tonight: Drop the negativity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHYou will be ready for a change of pace. You might be tired of trying to handle a financial matter, especially as others seem to be looking at different solutions. Communication could flourish by late afternoon. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Highlight the daylight hours, when you are more in command and likely to be very effective. If you make a decision in this time period, it is likely to work out. Be aware of the financial implications, then release any concerns. Tonight: Pay bills first.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You could be out of sorts for a good part of the day. No matter what you do, you might not be able to shake your mood. Try to get to the root of the issue. By midafternoon, you are likely to feel energized. Tonight: Paint the town red.

Carrot cake bottoms out Dear Heloise: I sure hope you can help me. I love making carrot cake, but my problem is that all the nuts sink to the bottom. Sometimes the carrots do too. I was told to put them in flour before I put them in the mix. (Yes, I make this cake from scratch.) I have tried both ways and failed both of them. I thought maybe you could help me.

— Ruth N., Gastonia, N.C. Well, Ruth, you were right to try coating the nuts and carrots in flour before adding them to the batter. Coating them in all-purpose flour should help keep them from sinking. Also, be sure to cut the nuts and carrots into small pieces so they won’t sink to the bottom.

I sometimes shred the carrots to really distribute them throughout the cake.

Another hint, though, is to TOAST the nuts before adding them. Place them on a baking sheet and place them in a 325 F oven until they are just warm.

Then toss them in a little flour. Hope this helps!

— Heloise Not just for tea Dear Heloise: I received a tea ball for Christmas, and I do not drink hot tea. Are there other uses for this device?

— Judy P., via email There sure are! You can use the tea ball as a bouquet garni in your homemade soups and stews. Just add your fresh herbs and spices, and drop it in!

Another use is for draining capers.

Open the bottle and separate the capers from the brine solution they are stored in.

Readers, let me know of any other hints for using a tea ball that you can think of.

“Diesel Dans” will be happy to learn that Stanley Ford in Kenai now has two new certified diesel mechanic specialists with over 30 years of experience between them.

Welcome Justin Martin and Josh Lee both hailing from Idaho. “This is my second time around coming here and this time I’m here to stay,” Martin told the Dispatch. He says he became a diesel specialist because he got tired of paying someone else to fix his vehicles, “So I went to school at UTI in Phoenix, Arizona and specialized in Ford Motor Company and have been working at dealerships ever since,” he said. Martin says the diesel engine isn’t the same as in your father’s day.

“It’s definitely advanced as computers have advanced, we have a lot more diagnostic abilities to know what is going on with the sensors. Now that makes

it tougher on the home mechanic to find out what’s going on, but it really helps the engines to run cleaner, better, stronger and helps us be more accurate with our diagnostics and saves the amount of time it takes to repair them.”

Technology has also helped diesel owners know what’s needed and when to check out symptoms by paying attention to the service lights.

“The check engine light or service light in your engine cluster today is the best way of knowing it’s time to bring it in,” said Martin. Joss Lee is also from Idaho and brings 20 years of experience working as a diesel specialist to the Stanley Ford team, “Things have changed but actually the new technology makes things more convenient, but it’s what I know it’s what I’ve done all my life. The harder the problem and the more

challenging it is the better I like it,” says Joss.

Through the end of February in honor of their new diesel specialists Stanley Ford is offering an hour diesel diagnosis for $99.00 dollars, “The value of that diagnosis is typically over

$200 so now’s the time to come in and meet Joss and Justin and save some money. We’ll go over the results of the tests with you and let you what it’ll cost if you have some problems going on before proceeding with any repairs,” said

Al Wingster, service manager at Stanley Ford.

To make an appointment call Al Wingster at 262-5491 or stop by “Your Hometown Dealer,” on the Kenai Spur Hwy in Kenai just before the airport turnoff.

Frozen River Festival brings family fun in the season of little sun There were skeptics who wondered just how many people would turn out on cold blustery afternoon to taste a cold beer and play around outdoor campfires.

But skeptics were impressed as more than 800 turned out to do just that and got the kids outdoors on skates and kick sleds. According to Soldotna City Planner John Czarnezki the Frozen River Festival got its start via the Soldotna Economic Development Council. “The Council recognized our brewing industry as a local and regional strength and asset. So we looked for opportunities to help grow the industry and in December 2013, local brewers were invited to meet with the city to solicit

their input and needs, and explore options to strengthen their business. The brewers became the nucleus of the Festival organizational committee with lots of festival options and ideas explored and an organizational committee was formed. Rather than have a single entity run the event, a cooperative model was selected that required coordination between the organizational committee, the City and the two non-profits the Kenai Watershed Forum and the Tustumena-200 Sled dog race,” he explained.

The proceeds from the event were split between those two non-profit organizations.

“We wanted it to be a family fun event with plenty of

activities for kids and with the weather turning cold there was ice skating and kick sledding, archery, ice bowling and of course the kids created all kinds of ways to play in the snow on their own. It was a great success and I’m sure will become an annual event on the Peninsula,” commented Josselyn O’Connor, development director for the KWF. “A big shout of thanks to participating breweries, volunteers and sponsors that included Tesoro, Apache Alaska, ConcoPhillips and Peak Oilfield Services as well all the local businesses who donated goods and services to make this happen. It was a great Alaskan Nearly 800 turn out on a blustery winter day to celebrate Alaskan fun & local beer. party in the park.”

Dena’ina Heyi celebrates host culture

A winter celebration known in the Dena’ina language as a Heyi retuned to Kenai on the first Friday in February at the Kenai Visitor & Cultural Center (KVCC.) “Since ancient times the Heyi has been a time to connect with family and the people that lived up river or down river from you that you hadn’t been able to see during the summer. A time to share stories and reconnect with those you shared the land with,” said Kenaitze Indian Tribe member Sasha Lindgren, “Today we opened the Heyi up in the KVCC museum because the traveling Dena’ina Way of Living Exhibit is on display here through May 10th. We wanted to share with all our

community, neighbors and friends to say that winter is a good time get together,” she said.

Those who came out for the Heyi enjoyed traditional fry bread and salmon dip provided by several tribe members from salmon caught at the tribes educational fishery, “Whenever we get together we share our food. We sit and talk and share stories and songs,” said Lindgren.

Throughout the day the winter celebration included music and stories by Artz Kilcher and Kenai Tribe member Bunny Swan. The Kenai exhibit is a condensed version of the Dena’ina Way of Living that opened originally in Anchorage and involves state of the art

digital displays that bring the culture to life in the 21st century.

“Peter Kalifornsky and all our elders contributed in their way to building a base for the Kenaitze Indian Tribe from which we have been able to grow, revitalize and preserve and protect our culture while working together with our community so we can all be happy living here on the Kenai Peninsula, the good land and we look forward to doing it again next year,” she said.

According to Johna Beech, KVCC CEO the exhibit was made possible through the cooperation of the Anchorage Museum and the Rasmuson Foundation.

Kenaitze tribe members read a Dena’ina language poem at closing of winter Heyi.

Winter Heyi offered fellowship fry bread and salmon dip.
