Troopers cite woman for killing moose eating from haystack FAIRBANKS — A Fairbanks woman faces legal consequences after shooting a moose that was eating from her haystack. The woman was issued a summons for taking a moose out of season and a citation for negligently feeding game, Alaska State Troopers report. Alaska Wildlife Troopers said the incident is a reminder that garbage, food scraps, hay and other material attractive to wildlife must be secured by landowners. The moose was shot Wednesday, troopers said. The 38-year-old woman living northeast of Fairbanks self-reported that she fired at the moose with a .22-caliber rifle as it was eating hay. The moose died a short distance away. A charity salvaged the moose.

Impeachment trial begins in Senate By LISA MASCARO Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate opened the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump with quiet ceremony Thursday — senators standing at their desks to swear an oath of “impartial justice” as jurors, House prosecutors formally reciting the charges and Chief Justice John Roberts presiding. The trial, only the third such undertaking in American history, is unfolding at the start of the election year, a time of deep political division in the nation. Four of the senators sitting in judgment on Trump are running for the Democratic Party’s nomination to challenge him in the fall. “Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!” intoned the Senate’s sergeant at arms, calling the
proceedings to order just past noon. Senators filled the chamber, an unusual sight in itself, sitting silently under strict rules that prohibit talking or cellphones, for a trial that will test not only Trump’s presidency but also the nation’s three branches of power and its system of checks and balances. The Constitution mandates the chief justice serve as the presiding officer, and Roberts made the short trip across the street from the Supreme Court to the Capitol. He has long insisted judges are not politicians and is expected to serve as a referee for the proceedings. Senators rose quickly when he appeared in his plain black robe. “Will all senators now stand, and remain standing, and raise their right hand,” Roberts said.

In this image from video, presiding officer Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts swears in members of the Senate for the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Thursday.
“Do you solemnly swear that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of Donald John Trump, president of the United States, now pending, you will do impartial justice
according to the Constitution and laws, so help you God?” The senators responded they would, and then they lined up to sign an oath book. Trump faces two charges after the House voted to
impeach him last month. One, that he abused his presidential power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden, using See Trial, Page A3
Soldotna man sentenced for heroin operation
Palmer man dies of injuries suffered in crash PALMER — A man has died of injuries suffered in a traffic crash northwest of Palmer. David Stanton, 55, of Palmer was seriously injured in a crash Monday on Palmer-Fishhook Road. He died Wednesday, Alaska State Troopers said. Stanton shortly before 6:30 p.m. Monday was driving a small pickup east on the road. He lost control and the pickup slid sideways into oncoming traffic, troopers said. The pickup slid into the path of a westbound half-ton pickup driven by Pio Victor Conttini, 62, of Palmer. Stanton was not wearing a a seat belt and he was ejected from the truck. Emergency responders transported him to a hospital. Conttini was not injured.

Flooding subsides in Big Eddy area By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
After an ice jam on the Kenai River caused flooding earlier this month and shut down several roads in the Big Eddy area, the flooding has been addressed and area roads, including Eddy Lane, Amiyung Drive and Riverside Lane, are now accessible. Dan Nelson, emergency manager for
the Kenai Peninsula Borough, said Thursday that the Borough’s Roads department used heavy machinery this week to break up the ice and stabilize the roads for safe travel. An ice jam near the Big Eddy State Recreation Area that formed Jan. 5 prompted the National Weather Service to issue a flood advisory and later flood warnings for the area. The latest flood advisory expired
Wednesday, and Nelson said the temperatures in the area are too cold for any more flooding to occur. “It’s winter, so everything is really frozen and it’s probably going to stay that way until there’s a significant increase in temperatures,” Nelson said. “But one good side effect of this cold weather is that nothing’s moving, so there’s no further risk of flooding at this time.”
A Soldotna man has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison for distributing large quantities of heroin throughout the Kenai Peninsula. Matthew Sean Bremond, 32, was sentenced on Jan. 15 by Sr. U.S. District Judge Ralph R. Beistline after pleading guilty in September of 2019 to one count of drug distribution, according to a Jan. 16 news release from the Department of Justice. Bremond’s sentence includes nine years in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release. Bremond was arrested after he sold large quantities of heroin — 126 grams and 96 grams in two instances — from his Soldotna residence in May of 2018, according to court documents. A search of Bremond’s house, storage units, and vehicle revealed further evidence of drug trafficking, including See heroin, Page A3
Musicians go ‘Low’ Taking on Citizens United By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
An unconventional musical duo from North Carolina will make their way to Soldotna this weekend for a performance that combines comedy with classical music. Bassist Paul Sharpe and cellist Brooks Whitehouse make up the music group Low and Lower, a duo that brings “artistry, virtuosity and satire” to the stage, according to their website, complementing their skills as classically trained musicians with elements of singing and spoken word. Whitehouse and Sharpe satirize classic pieces and provide commentary on everyday concepts, such as social media, while also making time for more traditional performances.
Sharpe is originally from Alaska and grew up in Anchorage, but it’s been several years since Low and Lower performed in the state. Their tour across the state this year stems from two of their newest pieces: one an epic poem about Sharpe kayaking in Kachemak Bay after an eagle feather fell into his lap, and the other a rendition of Robert Service’s 1907 poem “The Cremation of Sam McGee.” Sharpe and Whitehouse both teach at the University of North Carolina School of Music and began playing together in 2010. “Our first performance was at the South Carolina Governor’s School, and at the end we got a standing ovation,” See low, Page A3
Assembly members propose resolution supporting amendment By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
Two Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly members have introduced a resolution that calls for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Resolution 2020-008, introduced by Tyson Cox and Brent Johnson, would support and call for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution “to address issues that resulted from court decisions such as the United States Supreme Court’s Decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission,” according to the language of the resolution.
The resolution mentions the Supreme Court decision that held that corporations and other artificial entities are “persons” under the United States Constitution with a constitutional right to spend unlimited amounts of money on political speech. In their 2010 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that a prohibition of corporate independent expenditures is “an outright ban on speech, backed by criminal sanctions.” Cox said that he decided to introduce the resolution after attending a screening of “Dark Money,” a 2018 film by Kimberley Reed that focuses on the impact of the Citizens United Ruling on elections in Montana. “It really got me interested in the topic,” Cox said
on Thursday. “This is a great movie to show what can happen when we leave our corporations unchecked, especially when it comes to voting.” Cox introduced the resolution with the hopes that the Alaska Legislature will take notice of the issue and call for a Constitutional amendment to address it. Twenty states have passed resolutions calling for such an amendment, and if that number reaches 34 the U.S. Congress will be forced to call for a constitutional convention. Several municipalities in Alaska, including Anchorage, Homer and Sitka have already passed resolutions similar to the one Cox and Johnson have introduced. See assembly, Page A2

proposed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The proposed rule would require Alaska Native groups seeking tribal status to prove a common bond back to at least 1936, CoastAlaska reported Wednesday. The bureau would settle expectations among tribes petitioning the federal government, the state of Alaska, tribes already federally recognized, and local governments, the agency
said. The Department of the Interior currently reviews petitions on a case-by-case basis. “This proposed rule would not affect the status of tribes that are already federally recognized,” the BIA wrote. An attorney representing two unrecognized tribes that have been trying to gain federal recognition since the 1990s said a new rule could further slow the process. Michael Willis represents the Qutekcak Native Tribe in Seward and the Knugank tribe near Dillingham in the Bristol Bay region.

“It seems like the Department of Interior is trying to find ways to delay yet again rather than treat the Qutekcak Native Tribe consistently with other Alaska Native entities who have organized under the Alaska IRA,” Willis said in reference to the Alaska Indian Reorganization Act, the law that guides tribal recognition. Several tribes and Alaska Native organizations expressed skepticism that a new rule would be necessary. There was also criticism of the BIA for sending letters to tribal leaders during the peak fishing season in early July. “The arrival of a ‘Dear

Alaska Native corporation lowers board pay after complaints JUNEAU — Goldbelt Inc. has amended a scheduled
Assembly From Page A1
“This is not a new topic, but as a nation we haven’t really done anything to resolve it,” Cox said. “We have to decide not just as a borough but as
pay raise for its board of directors following concerns from shareholders about the size of the increase, an official said. The board voted Friday to reduce the compensation from $5,000 to $3,000 for each board member, The Juneau Empire reported. Board Chairman Todd Antioquia said in a letter to shareholders of the Alaska Native corporation that board members will receive a $500 meetings fee but will no longer receive fees for travel. Goldbelt has more than 3,600 shareholders and derives the majority of its revenue and income from government contracting and services, as well as tourism, according to its website. Shareholders and some
board members publicly expressed concern at the amount of the original pay raise. There were also complaints the increase had not gone through the proper committees or been thoroughly vetted. “The process prior to me joining the board has not been the catalyst to these discussions nor the action that we took,” said Antioquia, who was elected chairman at a special meeting Dec. 27. “We have board members that felt strongly just like shareholders that we needed to look at compensation holistically,” Antioquia said. A new committee structure has been established to distribute decisions among board members, Antioquia said.
a nation if that’s the direction we want to go, where corporations have so much influence over our elections.” Specifically, the resolution introduced by Cox and Johnson calls for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that establishes that the Constitution does not create, grant or protect any constitutional
rights of corporations or other artificial entities, and that the U.S. government has the right to enact statutes and regulations governing the expenditure of money to influence elections and political decision-making. The resolution will be voted on by the assembly at its Jan. 21 meeting.

military aid to the country as leverage. Trump is also charged with obstructing Congress’ ensuing probe. The president insists he did nothing wrong, and he dismissed the trial anew on Thursday at the White House: “It’s totally partisan. It’s a hoax.” Eventual acquittal is expected in the Republicancontrolled Senate. However, new revelations are mounting about Trump’s actions toward Ukraine. The Government Accountability Office said Thursday that the White House violated federal law in withholding the security assistance to Ukraine, which shares a border with hostile Russia. At the same time, an indicted associate of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Lev Parnas, has turned over to prosecutors new documents linking the president to the shadow foreign policy being run by Giuliani. The developments applied fresh pressure to senators to call more witnesses for the trial, a main source of contention that is still to be resolved. The White House has instructed officials not to comply with subpoenas from Congress requesting witnesses or other information. “What is the president hiding? What is he afraid of?”

Soldotna Area Senior Citizens membership meeting

Soldotna Area Senior Citizens, Inc. has called a special membership meeting for Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 1 p.m. in the Soldotna Senior Center. The purpose of the special meeting is to vote on
asked Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer. “The gravity of these charges is self-evident,” he said. “The House of Representatives has accused the president of trying to shake down a foreign leader for personal gain.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the new information from Parnas demands an investigation, which she doesn’t expect from Trump’s attorney general. “This is an example of all of the president’s henchmen, and I hope that the senators do not become part of the president’s henchmen.” Before the swearing-in, House Democrats prosecuting the case stood before the Senate and Rep. Adam Schiff of the Intelligence Committee formally read the articles of impeachment. Seven lawmakers, led by Schiff and Rep. Jerrold Nadler of the Judiciary Committee, made the solemn walk across the Capitol for a second day. All eyes were on Schiff as he stood at a lectern in the well of the chamber, a space usually reserved for senators. “House Resolution 755 Impeaching Donald John Trump, president of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors,” he began, reading the nine pages. The other House prosecutors stood in a row to his side. Senators said later that when Roberts appeared the solemnity of the occasion took hold. Security was tight at the Capitol. “I thought this is a historic
moment, and you could have heard a pin drop,” said Republican John Cornyn of Texas. “And so I think the gravity of what are undertaking I think was sinking in for all of us.” Republican House Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took a far different view of the charges and proceedings. He opened the chamber decrying Pelosi’s decision to hand out “souvenir pens” on Wednesday after she signed the resolution to transmit the charges to the Senate. “This final display neatly distilled the House’s entire partisan process into one perfect visual,” McConnell said. “It was a transparently partisan process from beginning to end.” GOP Sen. James Inhofe was absent, home in Oklahoma for a family medical issue, but plans to take the oath when he returns as the full trial begins next week, his office said. The Senate will issue a formal summons to the White House to appear, with the president’s legal team expected to respond by Saturday. Opening arguments will begin on Tuesday. The president suggested recently that he would be open to a quick vote to simply dismiss the charges, but sufficient Republican support is lacking for that. Instead, the president’s team expects a trial lasting no more than two weeks, according to senior administration officials. That would be far shorter than the trial of President Bill Clinton, in 1999,
Heroin proposed bylaw changes. Copies of the proposed changes were mailed to all members just after the first of the year. Proposed changes may also be reviewed at Soldotna Senior Center prior to the meeting. All members in good standing who are able are encouraged to attend. Members must be in good standing to be eligible to vote.

or the first one, of President Andrew Johnson, in 1868. Both were acquitted. It would take a super-majority of senators, 67 of the 100, to convict the president. Republicans control the chamber, 53-47, but it takes just 51 votes during the trial to approve rules, call witnesses or dismiss the charges. A group of four Republican senators is working to ensure there will be votes on the possibility of witnesses, though it’s not at all certain a majority will prevail for new testimony. Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee are among those involved. “I tend to believe having additional information would

large quantities of firearms and cash, bulletproof vests and vehicles. Seven hundred grams of heroin and 40 grams of cocaine intended for distribution were seized from Bremond’s property, according to the news release. On top of the sentence imposed, Bremond agreed to forfeit $101,173, two Polaris 800 snowmachines, one Xtreme utility trailer, a 2014 Raptor Ford F-150 truck, a 2008 Dodge Charger SRT sedan, a 2006 Nissan 350z coupe, 58 firearms, two bulletproof vests, two fully

automatic modifications for handguns, two bump stocks and one silencer. Bremond agreed that these were proceeds from or used to facilitate his drug trafficking enterprise, according to the news release. Beistline expressed concern at the sentencing hearing that “large scale” drug traffickers like Bremond were “destroying communities.” The Drug Enforcement Administration, Homeland Security Investigations, Alaska State Troopers and the Kenai Police Department conducted the investigation. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly Cavanaugh of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Alaska.
Sharpe said. “So in the car on the way home we looked at each other and thought ‘maybe we should keep doing this.’” Sharpe said their group became a bit of an internet sensation after recording one of their songs, “Poke: A Bagatelle on Antisocial Media,” originally written by Lawrence Dillon, and uploading the clip to YouTube. “We had performed the song before our first Alaska tour in 2012, but at one point we had two days to kill in Soldotna, and it was -30 degrees outside, so we spent that time mastering it,” Sharpe said. “Then we had a student from University of Alaska Fairbanks record our performance and upload it, and it quickly got a few thousand views, which was
surprising.” Sharpe said their style of performance brings new challenges that are distinct from performing in an orchestra or with other traditional ensembles. “We’re dealing with spoken word while playing bowed instruments, so that’s already dividing your brain up,” Sharpe said. “Then you add the rhythmic delivery and incorporate singing, and it’s a bit like juggling. Like you’re singing with two voices.” Low and Lower will be presented at the Christ Lutheran Church in Soldotna on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 7:30 p.m. The performance was arranged through the Kenai Performing Arts Society.

be helpful,” Collins said in a statement. “It is likely that I would support a motion to call witnesses.” Romney said he wants to hear from John Bolton, the former national security adviser at the White House, who others have said raised alarms about the alternative foreign policy toward Ukraine being run by Giuliani. The House managers are a diverse group with legal, law enforcement and military experience, including Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Sylvia Garcia of Texas, Val Demings of Florida, Jason
Crow of Colorado and Zoe Lofgren of California. Two are freshmen — Crow a former Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, Garcia a former judge in Houston. Demings is the former police chief of Orlando, and Jeffries is a lawyer and member of party leadership. Lofgren has the rare credential of having worked on a congressional staff during President Richard Nixon’s impeachment — he resigned before the full House voted on the charges — and then being an elected lawmaker during Clinton’s.

IOC can’t separate politics from Olympics
A
mong the many inspiring displays at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington is a statue of U.S. Olympic athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos thrusting their clenched fists into the air as they received their gold and bronze medals at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. It was a defining moment of the era — two African American athletes representing the U.S. at the pinnacle of global athletics silently telling the world they were one with the struggle for racial equality. But under a new rule adopted last week by the International Olympic Committee, such displays would be banned at this summer’s Games in Tokyo. It’s an absurd decision. The IOC said the rule reflects its longstanding desire to insulate the international sports competition from controversy, and to not let political expressions steal the spotlight from “athletes’ performance, sport and the international unity and harmony that the Olympic movement seeks to advance.” So it will not allow “political messaging, including signs or armbands” nor “gestures of a political nature, like a hand gesture or kneeling.” Athletes will be able to raise issues in interviews with reporters and on social media, but not on the field or in the Olympic Village, nor during any Olympic ceremonies. Yet an international competition between nations is inherently political, a reality the IOC has itself embraced upon occasion. Two years ago, it let North Korea co-host the 2018 Games with South Korea in part to display how sports can bridge political divisions. Asked afterward whether North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s interest in the Olympics was little more than a charm offensive, IOC chief Thomas Bach said: “If this charm offensive leads to peace talks, I welcome every charm offensive.” In 1984 the IOC banned South Africa — and rightly so — because the white minority government refused to renounce apartheid. And in 2015, the IOC agreed to recognize a team of refugee athletes — they competed in the 2016 Rio Games and will again this summer in Tokyo — to draw attention to the global refugee crisis. So maybe the concern about politics and controversy depends on who is protesting: the institution, or the athletes. Granted, the Olympic Games have aspired to transcend politics, but in reality they never have been able to do so. And they shouldn’t. Teams march into the opening ceremonies under national flags and receive medals as national anthems are played. During the Cold War, the medal race between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. was a closely followed competition in and of itself, a harmless proxy of national pride. In fact, the 1980 U.S. “Miracle on Ice” victory over the Soviet hockey team resonates through time — it’s been memorialized at least twice on film — because of the political environment in which it occurred. Nor can the IOC wall itself off from the world. Politics has forced its way into the Games, as well, most darkly with the 1972 massacre of Israeli athletes by a Palestinian terrorist group. And then there are the boycotts. After the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, more than 60 countries stayed away from the 1980 Games in Moscow; four years later, the Soviet Union retaliated by leading an Eastern Bloc boycott of the Games in Los Angeles. Also, individual performances by athletes have long been perceived through symbolic lenses. Jesse Owens, a black American winning gold in prewar Nazi Germany, comes to mind. And we already mentioned the U.S. men’s hockey team. The effort to stifle athletes who wish to make symbolic gestures runs counter to Western notions of freedom of expression. As it is, two U.S. athletes were put on 12 months’ probation in August after taking a knee and raising a fist at the Pan American Games in Peru. They didn’t mount a raucous demonstration, they didn’t interfere with the proceedings, they didn’t create an outlandish spectacle. They issued a silent protest, but that apparently was too loud for the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee. The IOC ought to rethink the ban on free expression. A clenched fist or a kneeling athlete will do little to disrupt the spectacle of the Olympics, and there is nothing to be gained by punishing athletes who use a few seconds in an international forum to draw attention to issues they feel deeply about. Of course that inevitably means allowing athletes to take public positions we and others disagree with. But if Olympics are to stand as an international symbol of harmony and peace, the IOC probably shouldn’t echo the oppressive tactics of silencing protest practiced by authoritarian regimes. — The Los Angeles Times, Jan. 15

Sportfishing is critical in Cook Inlet; the state should protect it

ormally, with friends on every side of the issue, we prefer to stay away from fish politics. Between all the different user groups, there always seems to be unlimited demand for a finite resource like salmon. Maximizing the benefits of the fishery for all Alaskans is a difficult task — but it’s the constitutional obligation of the Board of Fisheries. Let’s talk about the economic impact of fishing. Not a big boat with big nets hauling in hundreds of fish at a time. We’re talking about one person in waders with a pole or dipnet standing in the water. How much do you think that activity is worth to Alaska’s economy? It’s a lot. When multiplied by the nearly half-million individuals who purchase fishing licenses statewide every year, that “a lot” becomes huge. There seems to be a misconception within our state that commercial fishing is business and sportfishing is just for fun. In 2017, anglers fished a total of nearly 1 million days in the Cook Inlet region alone and spent $716.5 million on trip-related goods and services, pre-purchased packages, equipment and real estate used for fishing. The dollars, Euros and yen spent by those smiling grandparents, laughing kids and excited visitors supports a mindboggling variety of businesses, from outfitters in their hometowns to gas stations and restaurants along the way to all the many businesses near the rivers and campsites. That money is then spent at other businesses, radiating throughout our entire economy. Money spent at a Wasilla grocery store in preparation for a fishing trip on the Kenai, for example, enables that store to pay its employees, who then buy vehicles and homes, clothes for their children, and on and on.
The stats above come from an economic-research firm which also stated that as anglers’ dollars moved from business to business in the Cook Inlet economy, the total effects of the spending in 2017 generated $832.4 million in economic output and supported more than 6,300 jobs, providing $271.4 million in household income. We’re talking about people’s lives here. Even more mind-boggling is this: Sportfishing anglers caught approximately 28% of the salmon harvested in Cook Inlet in 2017, but had an economic impact nearly 3 times greater than the commercial sector in the same area. The sportfishing economy saw spending by both residents and nonresidents equally. Tourist spending adds new money to our communities, which increases Alaska’s employment, businesses, tax revenues and virtually every other part of our interconnected economy. The point of this op-ed is not to ask you to choose between sport and commercial fishing. Rather, it is to point out that sportfishing is immensely valuable to our statewide economy — and that our state agencies should recognize that different regions of Alaska are impacted differently by sport and commercial fishing. There are very few people going to Dutch Harbor for fly-fishing, for example. In Unalaska, commercial fishing deserves to be given priority. But here in Southcentral, the greatest value of our fishery is realized when we send fish directly to the dipnets, flies, plugs and freezers of individual anglers. In other words, in Cook Inlet sportfishing is the moneymaker. And this issue goes well beyond finances. Fishing is part of who we are as Alaskans. We Alaskans don’t just like fishing, we don’t just highly value
fishing — we need fishing. Dipnetting fills Alaska families’ freezers so they have food through winter. When Alaskans take a week vacation in July, they’re likely going to Kasilof with high hopes of quality time with their children and a bounty they’ll be able to count on in January and February. To Alaskans, so-called “sport” fishing is part of our culture. And it’s part of how we feed our families. It’s also part of how we power our economy. In just a few weeks, there will be a meeting in Anchorage to decide issues that are critical to thousands of small business owners like us — Alaska’s fish resources in Cook Inlet. The Board of Fisheries should be making oversight decisions, such as regulations and allocations, that increase the sport and personal-use fisheries. Reasonable, shared conservation measures and a focus on access to abundance should guide decisions made by the Board. Those happy dipnetters and fly casters are worth a lot to the warehouse worker at your local grocery store, the mechanic who lives next door, your child’s teacher, and everyone else who lives and works in the great state of Alaska. This piece was co-authored by several small business owners throughout the Cook Inlet region that live, work and play in Alaska full time. They understand the essential role sportfishing holds to people, businesses and the state alike. Jim Tilton and Maria Staffieri own and operate Deshka Landing Charters and Lodge in Willow.

‘You called me a liar,’ Warren told Sanders post-Iowa debate By WILL WEISSERT Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Elizabeth Warren accused Bernie Sanders of calling her a liar before a national television audience during a tense, post-debate exchange in which she refused to shake his outstretched hand, according to audio released by CNN. The Democratic presidential rivals are strong progressives who had steadfastly refused to attack each other for more than a year on the campaign trail. But that changed Monday, when Warren said that, during a private meeting between the two in 2018, he disagreed with her that a woman could win the presidency. Sanders, a senator from Vermont, has denied that, and did so again during Tuesday night’s presidential debate, which was hosted by CNN and the Des Moines Register and held in Iowa, whose first-in-the-nation caucuses are Feb. 3. Warren stood by her account and said it
was time to confront the larger issues of sexism in politics. That exchange lasted only a few minutes. But after the debate was over, Warren, a Massachusetts senator, approached Sanders, who put out his hand for her to shake. Instead, she confronted him, and the two talked briefly in tense tones. Neither campaign would confirm what was said Tuesday night, but CNN released the audio Wednesday. As she is refusing his extended hand, Warren repeats, “I think you called me a liar on national TV.” Sanders gently brushes her with his hand, then says, “Let’s not do it right now.” “You want to have that discussion?” he continues. “We’ll have that discussion.” Warren replies, “Anytime.” Sanders then adds, “You called me a liar,” before concluding, “All right, let’s not do it now.” The exchange was interrupted by fellow candidate and environmentalist
Tom Steyer, who said, “I don’t want to get in the middle of it” and greeted Sanders as the senator walked away. In Las Vegas on Wednesday, Steyer said his attempt to offer a greeting and thanks to both senators turned awkward. “Look, what goes on between those two senators is between them. You know, that’s really a private matter, which is why I wouldn’t comment on it before. I honestly think it’s between them,” he said. Warren’s and Sanders’ aides have for days attempted to de-escalate the feud as some progressives worry that ill will between the cause’s two leading voices will ultimately hurt both of them and could benefit more moderate Democratic presidential hopefuls like former Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Release of the audio is likely to ensure the political fight continues — at least for now.

At immigration courts, nonstop chaos By KATE BRUMBACK, DEEPTI HAJELA and AMY TAXIN Associated Press
LUMPKIN, Ga. — In a locked, guarded courtroom in a compound surrounded by razor wire, Immigration Judge Jerome Rothschild waits — and stalls. A Spanish interpreter is running late because of a flat tire. Rothschild tells the five immigrants before him that he’ll take a break before the proceedings even start. His hope: to delay just long enough so these immigrants won’t have to sit by, uncomprehendingly, as their futures are decided. “We are, untypically, without an interpreter,” Rothschild tells a lawyer who enters the courtroom at the Stewart Detention Center after driving down from Atlanta, about 140 miles away. In its disorder, this is, in fact, a typical day in the chaotic, crowded and confusing U.S. immigration court system of which Rothschild’s courtroom is just one small outpost. Shrouded in secrecy, the immigration courts run by the U.S. Department of Justice have been dysfunctional for years and have only gotten worse. A surge in the arrival of asylum seekers and the Trump administration’s crackdown on the Southwest border and illegal immigration have pushed more people into deportation proceedings, swelling the court’s docket to 1 million cases. “It is just a cumbersome, huge system, and yet administration upon administration comes in here and tries to use the system for their own purposes,” says Immigration Judge Amiena Khan in New York City, speaking in her role as vice president of the National Association of Immigration Judges. “And in every instance, the system doesn’t change on a dime, because you can’t turn the Titanic around.” The Associated Press visited immigration courts in 11 different cities more than two dozen times during a 10-day period in late fall. In courts from Boston to San Diego, reporters observed scores of hearings that illustrated how crushing caseloads and shifting policies have landed the courts in unprecedented turmoil:
US senator from Arizona calls CNN reporter ‘liberal hack’ Republican U.S. Sen. Martha McSally of Arizona lashed out Thursday at a CNN reporter who asked her about the impeachment of President Donald Trump. McSally called CNN reporter Manu Raju a “liberal hack” as she entered a room on Capitol Hill and refused to answer the question. “You’re a liberal hack. I’m not talking to you,” she said. Raju had asked McSally whether the Senate should consider new evidence as part of its impeachment trial. McSally doubled down a short time later, tweeting a cellphone video of the exchange apparently shot by one of her aides. In a statement, CNN said: “It is extremely unbecoming for a U.S. senator to sink to this level and treat a member of the press this way for simply doing his job.” Her campaign quickly sought to raise money over the episode. She sent a fundraising pitch to her email list. A Twitter account run by Trump’s re-election campaign shared video of the confrontation and urged supporters to donate to McSally.

—Chasing efficiency, immigration judges double- and triple-book hearings that can’t possibly be completed, leading to numerous cancellations. Immigrants get new court dates, but not for years. —Young children are everywhere and sit on the floor or stand or cry in cramped courtrooms. Many immigrants don’t know how to fill out forms, get records translated or present a case. — Frequent changes in the law and rules for how judges manage their dockets make it impossible to know what the future holds when immigrants finally have their day in court. Paper files are often misplaced, and interpreters are often missing. In Georgia, the interpreter assigned to Rothschild’s courtroom ends up making it to work, but the hearing sputters moments later when a lawyer for a Mexican man isn’t available when Rothschild calls her to appear by phone. Rothschild is placed on hold, and a bouncy beat overlaid with synthesizers fills the room. He moves on to other cases — a Peruvian asylum seeker, a Cuban man seeking bond — and punts the missing lawyer’s case to the afternoon session. This time, she’s there when he calls, and apologizes for not being available earlier, explaining through a hacking cough she’s been sick. But by now the interpreter has moved on to another courtroom, putting Rothschild in what he describes as the “uneasy position” of
holding court for someone who can’t understand what’s going on. “I hate for a guy to leave a hearing having no idea what happened,” he says, and asks the lawyer to relay the results of the proceedings to her client in Spanish. After some discussion, the lawyer agrees to withdraw the man’s bond petition and refile once she can show he’s been here longer than the government believes, which could help his chances. For now, the man returns to detention. In a federal building in downtown Manhattan, the docket lists stretch to a second page outside the immigration courtrooms. Crowds of people wait in the hallways for their turn to see a judge, murmuring to each other and their lawyers, pressing up against the wall to let others through. Security guards pass through and chastise them to stay to the side and keep walkways clear. Immigration judges hear 30, or 50, or close to 90 cases a day. When they assign future court dates, immigrants are asked to come back in February or March — of 2023. The country’s biggest immigration caseload is in New York City, spread over three different buildings. One in 10 immigration court cases are conducted there, according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. On average, cases on the
Ex-Texas nurse pleads guilty in 1981 death of 11-month-old A former Texas nurse suspected in the killing of dozens of children pleaded guilty Thursday in the 1981 death of an 11-month-old boy, receiving a life sentence that a prosecutor said should ensure she dies in prison. Genene Jones, 69, was imprisoned in 1984 for killing one child and giving an overdose to another. She had been set for release in 2018 under a mandatory release law that was in place when she was convicted. But prosecutors in 2017, citing new evidence, filed five new murder charges against her related to the deaths of children in the early 1980s. “With this plea, the odds are she will take her last breath in prison,” prosecutor Catherine Babbitt said after the hearing in San Antonio. Children died of unexplained seizures and other complications when Jones worked at a San Antonio hospital and clinic in Kerrville, about 55 miles northwest of San Antonio. Prosecutors at Jones’ 1984 murder trial said she had injected children with drugs to demonstrate the need for a pediatric intensive care unit at a nearby hospital. Other prosecutors had theorized that her tactic was to take swift medical action and save some of her victims so
Briefly
she could appear to be a sort of miracle worker. But Babbitt said in an interview after the hearing that they never determined what Jones’ motivation was. “I can only speculate. I mean, I never came across anything that would tell me why she committed such evil acts,” she said. Jones, who had been set for trial in February, was sentenced Thursday in the death of Joshua Sawyer, who investigators say overdosed
on an anti-seizure drug. The other four cases were dismissed, prosecutors said. Jones will be eligible for parole in 18 years, when she’s about 87, Babbitt said. Several family members gave victim impact statements at the hearing, including Joshua’s mother, Connie Weeks. “I hope for you to live a long and miserable life behind bars. Goodbye,” Weeks said to Jones. — Associated Press

country’s immigration docket have been churning through the courts for nearly two years. Many immigrants have been waiting much longer, especially those who aren’t held in detention facilities. With so many cases, immigrants are often double- and triple-booked for hearings. That can turn immigration court into a high-stakes game of musical chairs, where being the odd man out has farreaching consequences. Rubelio SagastumeCardona has waited two years for a New York judge to consider whether he should get a green card. The Guatemalan had a hearing date in May but got bumped by another case. On this day, he finds himself competing for his space on Judge Khan’s calendar with someone else’s case — a space Sagastume-Cardona only nabbed because his lawyer switched him with another client, who now must wait until 2023 for a hearing. “It’s been more difficult to get my client’s case heard than to litigate” it, says his attorney, W. Paul Alvarez. “It’s kind of crazy.” The protracted delays are agonizing for many immigrants and their relatives, who grapple anxiously with the uncertainty of what will happen to their loved ones — and when. And it isn’t confined to New York. In myriad courtrooms, similar scenes play out as immigrants and their lawyers jockey for space on too-cramped calendars.
Judge upholds ban on weapons at gun rally RICHMOND, Va. — A judge on Thursday upheld a ban on firearms at a pro-gun rally scheduled for next week in Virginia, rejecting a request from gun-rights groups who had sued to overturn it. The Virginia Citizens Defense League and Gunowners of America filed a lawsuit Thursday seeking an injunction against the ban, which Gov. Ralph Northam imposed for a rally scheduled to take place Monday on the grounds of the Virginia Capitol. In her written ruling, Richmond Circuit Court Judge Joi Taylor said the governor has the authority under state law to take action related to “the safety and welfare” of the state. Taylor cited rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts that found the Second Amendment right to bear arms is not unlimited. Because of that, she wrote, the gun-rights groups would not “suffer an irreparable harm” sufficient to justify the injunction.
Labor Department limits news outlets’ use of embargoed data WASHINGTON — The Labor Department will begin restricting news organizations’ use of economic data by barring computers from the rooms where reporters receive such data before its public release, department officials announced Thursday. The early access to embargoed data allows news services to prepare articles in advance of the public release of economic reports. While credentialed reporters will still have early access to embargoed economic figures, the department says it’s barring their use of computers during that time. The Labor Department said this is to ensure the security of the data and to prevent anyone from benefiting from early access to the data, which can influence stock and bond markets. Department officials said the ban will go into effect March 1. It will cover all releases that the department issues each month, including the highly watched U.S. jobs report. For several years, reporters have had to surrender their cellphones and other electronic devices before entering the so-called lockup rooms in order to prevent early transmission of the information in the reports. Yet they were allowed to write their news stories on computers that could transmit the data once the embargo lifted. But in a letter to news organizations, Labor said the current process still gives some news organizations a competitive edge by allowing them to transmit the data through high-speed networks to serve such clients as investment firms.

Trump boosts school prayer, faith groups By COLLIN BINKLEY and ELANA SCHOR Associated Press
In a bid to solidify his evangelical base, President Donald Trump took steps Thursday to give religious organizations easier access to federal programs and he reaffirmed students’ rights to pray in public schools. Under orders from Trump, nine Cabinet departments proposed rules intended to remove “regulatory burdens” on religious organizations participating in federal programs by eliminating a requirement that they refer people to alternative providers upon request. Much of that follows through on an executive order Trump from 2018 that aims to put religious groups on equal footing when competing for federal grants
and other funding. At the same time, the Education Department issued its first updated guidance on school prayer since 2003. While Trump promised “big action” this month, the new guidance appears to make few major changes. The expansion of faithbased groups’ ability to participate in government programs is a significant show of support for an evangelical constituency long a vital part of Trump’s base and it follows a Christian magazine’s call for his removal from office. Trump planned to announce the guidance on school prayer at a White House event later Thursday. A directive orders states to verify that school districts have no policies limiting constitutionally protected prayer and to refer violators to the
Education Department. That’s much like the 2003 guidance, but the directive goes further in requiring states to provide ways for making complaints against schools. Students can pray on their own or together during lunch or other free times, for example, and student speakers can pray at assemblies or sports games as long as they weren’t chosen to speak based on their religious perspectives, according to the guidance. “Our actions today will protect the constitutional rights of students, teachers, and faith-based institutions,” Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said in a statement. Hours before Trump’s event, federal agencies announced moves to bolster faith-based organizations. For example, a proposal from the Department of Health and Human
Services would eliminate a requirement that religiousbased social service organizations inform clients that they can also receive services from groups without connection to a particular religion. Civil rights advocates said the administration risked empowering discriminatory behavior in the name of religious freedom. The regulations “will make it more difficult to access critical social services, just because someone is LGBTQ or a different faith,” the American Civil Liberties Union tweeted. “It’s 2020 and religious freedom is STILL not a license to harm others.” But Johnnie Moore, a member of Trump’s evangelical advisory board, lauded the moves as a fresh sign of Trump’s commitment to religious freedom.

14 with church ties named in Alaska misconduct review By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press
JUNEAU — A review commissioned by the Archdiocese of Anchorage found credible evidence of sexual misconduct by 14 people who served in the archdiocese, a church leader announced Thursday. The findings were made by a commission that the archdiocese said included a former police chief and two former prosecutors. The commission was charged with reviewing church records going back decades. At least half of those identified as credibly accused are now dead, the report states. The allegations described include sexual misconduct involving vulnerable adults or children — and in at least
one case misconduct involving minors outside the archdiocese — and the viewing of child pornography. The allegations against four of those mentioned came while serving in another diocese, according to the report. Bishop Andrew Bellisario, in a statement accompanying the report, addressed the victims, saying “there are no words that can restore the innocence that was cruelly and unjustly stolen from you.” “It is with humility, sorrow, and shame that I apologize to you, your family, friends, and community in the name of the Church for the grievous harm you suffered,” he said. The archdiocese plans a news conference for Thursday afternoon in Anchorage.

Pope names 1st woman manager in Vatican Secretariat of State VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has tapped an Italian lawyer to be the first woman to hold a management position in the Vatican’s most important office, the Secretariat of State. Francis on Wednesday named Francesca Di Giovanni, a 27-year veteran of the Vatican, as undersecretary for multilateral affairs. In that role, she will be responsible for running a division that coordinates the Holy See’s relations with the United Nations and other intergovernmental organizations. Francis has called for women to be given greater decision-making roles in the Vatican and the Catholic Church at large, though no women head a Vatican congregation or other important office. Such leadership positions are reserved
for priests, bishops or cardinals, and Francis has upheld church teaching prohibiting the ordination of women. Di Giovanni, 66, told the Vatican’s in-house media that Francis’ appointment showed his attention to women, and she agreed with the pope’s oftstated assertion that women have certain aptitudes as peace-makers, mediators and healers. “I hope that my being a woman might reflect itself positively in this task, even if they are gifts that I certainly find in my male colleagues as well,” she said. A few other women hold a similar rank in other Vatican offices, including the undersecretary at the Vatican’s congregation for religious orders and two undersecretaries in the Vatican office for laity. — Associated Press

Lebanese protesters decry use of violence
briefly
New street protests in France amid pension strikes
By SARAH EL DEEB Associated Press
Lebanese protesters Thursday decried security forces’ use of violence during rallies over the past two days, including attacks on journalists and the detention of over 100 people. Dozens of people, including journalists, rallied outside the Interior Ministry denouncing what they said was the systematic use of force against members of the media. Many raised photos of journalists getting beaten by riot police. Others gathered outside the American University of Beirut and a police station where dozens have been detained since Tuesday. After a period of calm, protests have returned to Lebanon as politicians fail to form a new government and an unprecedented economic crisis deepens. “It has been over 90 days since the beginning of the protests and to this day the authorities have completely failed to address the demands of the protests,” said Lynn Maalouf, Amnesty International’s Middle East director. “In the past two days, we have seen an escalation on both sides.” Protests turned violent Tuesday when demonstrators pelted security forces with stones and water bottles and smashed windows of commercial banks they accuse of corruption and denying them their deposits. Meanwhile, security forces

Riot police arrest an anti-government protester who was protesting outside a police headquarters demanding the release of those taken into custody the night before, outside the police headquarters, in Beirut, Lebanon, Wednesday. Lebanese security forces arrested 59 people, the police said Wednesday, following clashes overnight outside the central bank as angry protesters vented their fury against the country’s ruling elite and the worsening financial crisis.
have used “excessive” tear gas in densely populated districts and detained over 100 people, including five minors according to lawyers, in an unprecedented wave of arrests, Maalouf said. They have beaten and verbally abused some protesters and attacked journalists, trying to prevent them from filming, she said. A Reuters video journalist was injured by security forces and treated in a hospital. Late Wednesday and Thursday, authorities began releasing detainees. Hussein Baydoun, a photographer, said he was briefly detained and asked to erase his pictures by
security forces who came after him as he filmed clashes outside a police station Wednesday night. “The officer and three soldiers came at me and ( the officer) said bring him to me. They held me and they wrestled the camera from me,” Baydoun said. Bachir Abu Zeid was one of over 50 protesters detained late Wednesday outside the police station. He was pulled inside as he tried to help others who fell to the ground. He said he was kept in a small cell with 30 people overnight and was only allowed to call his family nearly six hours after he was taken in.
“We are expecting this. it is becoming more violent from them and us. They are not listening to people,” Abu Zeid said after his release. “This repression will only make us stronger and give us momentum.” Interim Interior Minister Raya El Hassan said attacks on the press were “rejected” and promised an investigation. She said security forces are “tired” and “scared for themselves” after 90 days of protests. That doesn’t justify the attacks, she said, but she appealed to journalists to put themselves in the shoes of the security forces, adding that 100 security personnel have been injured.
PARIS — Opponents of President Emmanuel Macron’s proposed overhaul of France’s pension system marched in Paris and other French cities Thursday on what is the 43rd day of strike action that has hobbled trains and public transport. At the call of trade unions, train and metro workers, teachers and others took to the French capital’s streets to demand that the government scrap its pension proposals. Police were out in force but the march across southern Paris was calm, and the number of protesters was down compared to previous marches. The Interior Ministry put the number of marchers in the capital at 23,000 and 187,000 nationally — compared to a count by unions of 250,000. Philippe Martinez, the leader of the far-left CGT union, said the determination “is just as big” as at the start of the strikes Dec. 5 “It’s never too late to make the government cede,” he said. The unions widely perceived to be most left-wing said they remained unsatisfied despite the government’s decision last week to suspend a central piece of the proposed reform plan, that of raising the retirement age to qualify for a full pension from 62 to 64. They want the government to scrap other changes they fear would force them to work longer for less money.
Australia firefighters save world’s only rare dinosaur trees CANBERRA, Australia — Specialist firefighters have saved the world’s last remaining wild stand of a prehistoric tree from wildfires that razed forests west of Sydney, officials said Thursday. Firefighters winched from helicopters to reach the cluster of fewer than 200 Wollemi Pines in a remote gorge in the Blue Mountains a week before a massive wildlife bore down, National Parks and Wildlife Service Director David Crust said. The firefighters set up an irrigation system to keep the so-called dinosaur trees moist and pumped water daily from the gorge as the blaze that had burned out of control for more than two month edged closer. Firefighting planes strategically bombed the fire front with fire retardant to slow its progress. “That helped just to slow the intensity of the fire as it approached the site,” Crust told Australian Broadcasting Corp. “The Wollemi Pine is a particularly important species and the fact that this is the only place in the world where they exist and they exist in such small numbers is really significant,” he added. — Associated Press
Taliban say they handed cease-fire offer to US peace envoy By KATHY GANNON Associated Press
ISLAMABAD — The Taliban have given the U.S. envoy their offer for a temporary cease-fire in Afghanistan that would last between seven and 10 days, Taliban officials familiar with the negotiations said Thursday. The offer is seen as an opportunity to open a window to an eventual peace deal that would allow the United States to bring home its estimated 13,000 troops and end the 18-year war in Afghanistan,
America’s longest conflict. The cease-fire offer was handed to Zalmay Khalilzad, Washington’s envoy for talks with the insurgents, late Wednesday in Qatar, a Gulf Arab country where the Taliban maintain a political office. Khalilzad has been pressing for a cease-fire but it wasn’t immediately clear whether the Taliban proposal would be enough to allow for the on-again off-again talks between the Taliban and the U.S. to restart, with the aim of eventually signing a peace deal.
The U.S. State Department declined to comment. Previously, Khalilzad said a U.S.-Taliban deal would also include the start of negotiations among Afghans on both sides of the conflict to hammer out a so-called road map to a post-war Afghanistan. That road map would tackle thorny issues such as a permanent cease-fire, women’s and minority rights, and the fate of thousands of Taliban fighters as well as militias loyal to Kabul’s warlords. But the Taliban have been refusing to talk with the Kabul
Putin fast-tracks effort to extend his rule in Russia By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press
MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin on Thursday fast-tracked work on constitutional changes that could keep him in power well past the end of his term in 2024 while lawmakers quickly sealed his choice for new prime minister. Speaking to a working group created to draft constitutional changes, Putin cast his proposals as a way to strengthen parliament and to bolster democracy. Kremlin critics described the proposed changes as an attempt by Putin to secure his rule for life. The Russian leader proposed the sweeping amendments to the country’s constitution in Wednesday’s state of the nation address. Hours later, he fired Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who had the job for eight years, and named tax chief Mikhail Mishustin to succeed him. The Kremlin-controlled lower house, the State Duma, quickly approved Mishustin in a unanimous vote Thursday. The reshuffle has shaken Russia’s political elites, who were left wildly speculating about Putin’s intentions and future Cabinet
appointments. A constitutional reform announced by Putin indicated he was working to carve out a new governing position for himself after his current six-year term ends in 2024, although it remains unclear what specific path he will take to stay in charge. The former KGB operative has been in power for more than 20 years, longer than any other Russian or Soviet leader since Josef Stalin, who led from 1924 until his death in 1953. Under the law now in force, Putin must step down when his current term ends. Alexei Navalny, Russia’s most prominent opposition leader, tweeted that Putin’s proposals reflected the 67-year-old president’s intention to “rule until he dies.” Putin suggested amending the constitution to allow lawmakers to name prime ministers and Cabinet members. The president currently holds the authority to make those appointments. Speaking to the group that will draft the amendments, Putin emphasized that the changes are intended to “strengthen the role of civil society, political parties and regions in making key decisions about the development of our state.” “The role of parliament
will grow, and the interaction between parliament and the Cabinet will strengthen,” he said. At the same time, Putin argued that Russia would not remain stable if it were governed under a parliamentary system. The president should retain the right to dismiss the prime minister and Cabinet ministers, to name top defense and security officials, and to be in charge of the military and law enforcement agencies, he said. In his address, Putin said the constitution must also specify the authority of the State Council, a body that consists of regional governors and top federal officials. Observers speculated that Putin might try to stay in charge by shifting into the prime minister’s seat again after increasing the powers of parliament and the Cabinet and curtailing presidential authority. Others suggested that he could continue pulling the strings as head of the State Council, similar to what the longtime ruler of Kazakhstan did last year. Nursultan Nazarbayev resigned as president and had a protege elected to the post, but the 79-year-old retained his grip on power by securing a prominent position as head of the nation’s security council.
government of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah. The two are currently fighting over who won last year’s presidential elections. The initial vote count gave Ghani the win but Abdullah, who came in second, is contesting the count. A final outcome has yet to be announced by Afghanistan’s election commission. Last September, the Taliban and the U.S. appeared close to signing a deal when an upsurge in Taliban attacks, including the killing of another U.S. soldier,
prompted President Donald Trump to scrap the talks. On Thanksgiving, during his first visit to U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Trump softened his stance, saying the Taliban were ready to make a deal, though both Kabul and Washington insisted the Taliban would have to show a sign of good faith by reducing their attacks. In December, the Taliban leadership headquartered in Pakistan agreed to put forth a temporary cease-fire offer after weeks of consultation. A Taliban official said
mistrust has long characterized the U.S.-Taliban talks and the insurgents hesitated to offer a more permanent cease-fire without having U.S. troops pull out first. Should the truce deal fall through, returning Taliban fighters to the battlefield with the same intensity could be a problem, the official said. “‘There was a thinking within the Taliban ranks that it would be difficult for them to reorganize fighters after a break in fighting,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the talks.

Mets fire Beltran in wake of sign scandal NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Beltrán, called out on a curveball again. So for the second time since they last threw a pitch, the New York Mets are in the market for a new manager. Sign of the times. Beltrán’s 2 1/2-month tenure as Mets manager ended Thursday before he spent a single game on the bench, the latest fallout from the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal that has rocked Major League Baseball. The Mets announced the decision in a news release, saying Beltrán and the team “agreed to mutually part ways.” The move came two days
after Boston cut ties with manager Alex Cora, who was Houston’s bench coach in 2017 when Beltrán played for the Astros. A day before that, manager AJ Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow were fired by Houston soon after they were suspended for the 2020 season by Commissioner Rob Manfred for their roles in the cheating scheme. Next to fall was Beltrán, the only Astros player mentioned by name Monday when MLB issued its findings from an investigation into the club’s conduct. No players were disciplined, but the nine-page report said Beltrán was among the group involved in the team’s illicit
use of electronics to pilfer signs during Houston’s run to the 2017 World Series championship. “Over my 20 years in the game, I’ve always taken pride in being a leader and doing things the right way, and in this situation, I failed,” Beltran said in a statement issued through agent Dan Lozano. “As a veteran player on the team, I should’ve recognized the severity of the issue and truly regret the actions that were taken. I am a man of faith and integrity and what took place did not demonstrate those characteristics that are so very important to me and my family. I’m very sorry. It’s not who I am as a father, a husband, a teammate and as an
educator. ... I hope that at some point in time, I’ll have the opportunity to return to this game that I love so much.” Mets general manager Brodie Van Wagenen and Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon met with MLB deputy commissioner Dan Halem and Bryan Seeley, who headed the investigation, on Wednesday morning in New York, then with Beltrán at the team’s spring training complex in Florida on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. “Considering the circumstances, it became clear to all parties that it was not in anyone’s best interest for Carlos to move forward as manager of the New York Mets,”
Van Wagenen and Wilpon said in a statement. “We believe that Carlos was honest and forthcoming with us. We are confident that this will not be the final chapter in his baseball career.” On a later conference call, Wilpon said the team had heard in advance “from sources” that Beltrán wasn’t going to be suspended by MLB. “I think the change was when the report did come out, how prominent he was in it,” Wilpon said. The commissioner’s office did not pressure the Mets to fire Beltrán, Wilpon said, telling executives it was the club’s decision.

Australian Open defends decision MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley defended the decision to hold qualifying matches this week even though Melbourne’s air quality was among the worst in the world because of smoke
from wildfires devastating parts of the country. The tournament has drawn criticism from players for contesting matches in conditions that led one, Dalila Jakupovic, to collapse to her knees while coughing heavily.

Brown Bears look to snap skid By Jeff Helminiak Peninsula Clarion
The Kenai River Brown Bears return to the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex looking to snap a five-game losing streak in North American Hockey League play. The Bears face the Maine Nordiques at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday in their first home action since Dec. 7. Kenai River lost its last game before the break — a 5-4 shootout decision to the Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets — then struggled in the four games since the break. The Bears gave up a total of 25 goals in losing two each to the Amarillo (Texas) Bulls and New Mexico Ice Wolves. The skid has knocked the Bears out of first place in the Midwest Division. Fairbanks now leads with 55 points, while Kenai River (22-121-3) has 48. The Chippewa (Wisconsin) Steel sit in third with 40 points. The race for the final
playoff slot out of the division is tight. The Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets and Minnesota Magicians are tied for fourth with 27 points, while the Springfield (Illinois) Jr. Blues are last at 25. ”I think everybody is happy to be back up here,” Kenai River head coach Kevin Murdock said. “The couple of weeks after the break didn’t go so well.” The Bears only had one practice after break before jumping into the series with Amarillo — a squad Murdock called one of the best, if not the best, in the league. Then the Bears dropped two to New Mexico, which now sits at 8-25-1-2. “The last two weekends, there were moments we played pretty well,” Murdock said. “There were too many mistakes and breakdowns that weren’t happening in the first half.” The coach said that the successful first half may have let the team slip into bad habits because the focus was
on wins and not just getting better. “On the 10-game winning streak, I don’t think we deserved to win all 10 of those games,” Murdock said. “We were making mistakes, and other teams were not capitalizing. We were capitalizing on their mistakes. “We were worrying about winning every single game, not guys playing the right way, developing and getting ready for the second half of the season.” Murdock said the Bears are getting back to basics this week in practice with the aim of correcting the problem. The Brown Bears dropped 3-2 and 6-4 decisions to Maine on the road on Oct. 25 and 26. The expansion Nordiques are 15-22-2-0 and in fifth place in the East Division. Like Kenai River, Maine games tend to be high-scoring. The Bears are second in the league with 144 goals, but have given up 128 goals, tied for fifth-most in the league.
Maine has scored 135 goals and given up 158. “They have a lot of fast, skilled guys similar to some of the teams in our division,” Murdock said. “I think they’ll do pretty well on the big sheet of ice.” The Brown Bears made a move to shore up their defense by bringing back defenseman Connor Scahill. Scahill, at 6-foot-0, 187 pounds, played with the Brown Bears for the 201718 and 2018-19 seasons before leaving for the Odessa (Texas) Jackalopes this season. Odessa has the worst record in the league. After playing two seasons with the Bears and missing the playoffs, Murdock said Scahill was looking to go to a team that might be more successful, but with Odessa struggling, Scahill was open to a move back to Kenai River. “He’s a tough kid and an older guy in the league,” Murdock said. “He’ll provide See BEARS, Page A9

recent study published in the journal Nature Climate Change highlighted some work by Dr. Kyle Horton and his colleagues, who figured out how to use weather radar data to quantify bird migration (https:// www.nature.com/articles/ s41558-019-0648-9). By studying radar data from the past 24 years, they were able to show that the timing of bird migration across North America has shifted in the spring and fall. The documented shifts are likely not matching some of the phenological shifts seen in things like the timing of insect hatches or berry

The work opens a lot of doors to new methods to process large quantities of data and quantify bird migration from radar imagery. One point the authors identified is that this method blends all types of different migration strategies for all
of our different migratory species. The study’s value is in looking across the entire country and not just looking at one site. A problem with combining all species with different migration strategies is the tendency to downplay the potential threats to individual species or groups of species. Some species lack the ability to shift their migration timing or route and may find conditions not what they expected or needed when they get there. A lack of insects or berries at the wrong time can be a problem for the migrating See refuge, Page A9

birds. This may be seen by increased failed nesting attempts. It could also change their own chances of survival in completing the several thousand mile journey back and forth each year. When averaged across all bird species with different strategies, the ones that are more resilient and change their timing mask the lack of response by species that are obligatory or more rigid and less able to respond to a changing climate. On the Kenai we have seen juncos and other sparrow species overwintering in Homer and Seward for a while. People see a white-crowned sparrow in the summer and winter and assume that it didn’t migrate. A much more likely scenario is that “our” whitecrowned sparrows that nest here still migrated, but instead of going to California or Arizona, they stopped short and were in Washington or Idaho. Thus the sparrows we are seeing in winter may be born farther north in Alaska and instead of migrating to Washington or British Columbia, some stopped short and stayed in Homer or even Kenai. Bird banding will likely be one of the only ways we can solve this mystery with the technology we have today. Geolocator tags exist that could map a bird’s travel route and where they nest or winter, but they store the data on board and have to be recovered to collect anything from them. The chances of recovering that individual bird again are so remote that it is not worth the money to waste the tag on most wintering birds. Geolocators have been successfully used on birds that are nesting, because many birds will return to the same nesting area each year, giving researchers a fair chance of encountering the bird again and recovering the data. There are a few banders in Seward and Homer that have a goal of catching and banding these newly

overwintering species like the sparrows and American robins. But few have been banded and none have been recovered in subsequent winters. Now we are starting to see an increase in different overwintering birds in Kenai, Soldotna and the Kasliof area as well. We are not seeing flocks of these species, but we are seeing more individual sightings of sparrows and robins in winter. In a few cases, feeder watchers have even reported seeing what they believed was the same sparrow for a couple of winters in a row. If we could get some of these unusual winter birds banded, that might be the start to understanding what they are doing here. Are they returning to the same area each winter? If we were able to document that a portion of them are returning to the same place to winter for a couple of winters in a row, then we would have some level of confidence that they could be recaptured. With the confidence that we may get a few of them back it might be worth the extra expense to tag some with geolocators and determine where they are nesting and why they are starting to utilize the KenaiSoldotna area as their new wintering grounds. If you are seeing bird species at your feeder in winter (December to February) that you don’t normally see, it is possible that we may want to identify them and see if it is a species that would be beneficial to band. If you use eBird, there is no need to contact me as I will already see your pertinent sightings. But if you are not an eBird user, there is a chance that nobody knows about your unique sighting.

DEAR ABBY: My sister “Dana” spent decades taking care of our disabled sister, which meant Dana and her family sacrificing greatly to provide for her care. The rest of us siblings live out of town and shared none of the responsibility. Our disabled sister passed away recently, leaving an estate that is now in probate. I suggested to my other siblings that before the estate is divided equally, we should set aside enough for Dana and her husband to take a long-overdue and welldeserved vacation. It’s something I know Dana has been longing for, but they won’t hear of it! I can’t believe my siblings are acting this way. They say Dana can take a vacation on what she inherits, but that’s not the point. While we all had free weekends and could take vacations, Dana was extremely limited because our disabled sister couldn’t travel and needed a caregiver. How do I change my siblings’ view? — DISAPPOINTED BROTHER
Crossword | Eugene Sheffer
DEAR BROTHER: Your sentiments are laudable, but there is no way to force your greedy siblings into doing anything for Dana. It appears your disabled sister died without a will, which could have ensured that Dana was repaid for her efforts. Your letter highlights the importance of putting last wishes in writing, preferably with the assistance of an attorney. I cannot emphasize this strongly enough. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Abby shares more than 100 of her favorite recipes in two booklets: “Abby’s Favorite Recipes” and “More Favorite Recipes by Dear Abby.” Send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $16 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.
