HEA seats up for grabs Homer Electric Association is accepting nominations from members for their board of directors.

There are several seats vacant representing the central and southern peninsula.

Nine directors sit on the board, with three members representing each of the three Kenai Peninsula service area districts.

A seat in District 1, which represents Nikiski, Kenai and parts of Soldotna, and which is currently held by Director Kelly Bookey, is on the ballot. Bookey cannot run again as his nine-year term limit has ended.

A seat held by Homer Electric’s Board Deputy Secretary Dan Furlong in District 2 — representing Soldotna, Sterling and Kasilof — is also up for grabs.

Finally, the District 3 seat currently held by Director Jim Levine — representing Kasilof, Homer and Seldovia — is open.

The board of directors are elected by district, and members vote only for directors within their district.

Homer Electric Association members interested in getting their name on the ballot must fill out a candidacy packet requiring them to gather at least 15 signatures from current Homer Electric Association members who live in the same district as the candidate. Members can find the candidacy packet at the Homer Electric offices in Kenai and Homer and online at homerelectric.com.

The deadline to submit those candidacy packets to either the Kenai or Homer office is 5 p.m., Friday, March 6.

Ballots for the board of directors election will be mailed to all Homer Electric Association members April 6 and the results will be announced at the annual meeting May 7 at Soldotna High School.

$1.5 billion deficit built into budget State can’t keep spending like it is, analysts say

By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

The House Finance Committee got a detailed walk-through of the governor’s proposed budget Wednesday morning, and the message was quite clear: the state cannot continue to

spend like it is.

“The governor has built in a $1.5 billion deficit,” said Rob Carpenter, analyst for the Legislative Finance Office.

When Gov. Mike Dunleavy released his budget in December, he said he intended to pay a full statutory Alaska Permanent Fund dividend of $3,170.

That would require drawing the state’s Constitutional Budget Reserve savings account down to $540 million.

But if the governor’s budget were to go through as planned, Carpenter said, this would be the last year the state would be able to draw from the CBR. “The CBR is gone by (Fiscal Year 2022), Carpenter said. “In this scenario, the (Earnings Reserve Account) would be gone by FY30.”

Carpenter said these were just projections and it was highly unlikely for such a scenario to actually occur,

but his office was tasked with creating projections with the information available.

“If we do this and we end up with $500 million in the CBR, this will be the last time it will be sufficient to solve our budget issues,” Rep. Adam Wool, D-Fairbanks, asked. Carpenter told him that was a correct statement.

Dems: Help needed to convict ‘corrupt’ Trump

By Lisa Mascaro, Eric Tucker and Zeke Miller Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Democrats launched into marathon arguments in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial Wednesday, appealing to skeptical Republican senators to join them in voting to oust Trump from office to “protect our democracy.”

Trump’s lawyers sat by, waiting their turn, as the president blasted the proceedings from afar, threatening jokingly to face off with the Democrats by coming to “sit right in the front row and stare at their corrupt faces.”

The challenge before the House managers is clear. Democrats have 24 hours over three days to prosecute the charges against Trump, trying to win over not just fidgety senators sitting silently in the chamber but an American public, deeply divided over the president and his impeachment in an election year.

Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, outlined what the Democrats contend was the president’s “corrupt scheme” to abuse his presidential power and then obstruct Congress’ investigation. He then called on senators not to be “cynical” about politics, but to draw on the intent of the nation’s Founding Fathers who provided the remedy of impeachment. “Over the coming days, we will present to you — and to the American people — the extensive evidence collected during the House’s impeachment inquiry into the president’s abuse of power,” said Schiff standing before the Senate.

“You will hear their testimony at the

Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., and Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo. speaks to reporters Wednesday on Capitol Hill. The U.S. Senate heard opening arguments Wednesday in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, as Democratic House managers made their case that Trump abused power and should be removed from office.

same time as the American people.

That is, if you will allow it.”

After a dinner break, Schiff returned to the well of the Senate to detail the administration’s hold on military aid to Ukraine. He played several clips of testimony from Ambassador William Taylor, who said the assistance was held back as Trump pushed the country to announce investigations of Democrats.

Most senators sat at their desks throughout, as the rules stipulate, though some stretched their legs, standing behind the desks or against the back wall of the chamber, passing the time. Visitors watched from the galleries, one briefly interrupting in protest.

The Democrats wrapped up the first day of their presentation shortly before 10 a.m. ET.

Erin go bragh: Sounds of Ireland come to the peninsula

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

This Friday marks the return of the annual Irish Music Concert hosted by Kenai Peninsula College.

The Winter Concert of Traditional Irish Music will feature the work of three Irish musicians, John Walsh, Pat Broaders and John Skelton, with Skelton making his debut at the college.

Walsh is a tenor banjo player originally from Ireland and has been a part of the annual concert since its inception. Walsh and Diane Sawyer, director of the Learning Center at Kenai Peninsula College, got to know each other when Walsh gave a presentation on the history of the Irish banjo to the Alaska Humanities Forum. Since then, Sawyer has invited Walsh to perform a free concert at the college every winter, and Walsh brings with him a rotating roster of fellow musicians.

Walsh worked as a commercial fisherman in Alaska for more than 30 years and returns to the state regularly to perform.

Broaders also makes a regular appearance at the annual concert,

The proceedings are unfolding at the start of an election year, and there are few signs that Republicans are interested in calling more witnesses or going beyond a fast-track assessment that is likely to bring a quick vote on charges related to Trump’s dealings with Ukraine. Several GOP senators said Wednesday they’d seen See impeach, Page A2

Borough: How can we be more efficient?

and this year will be his fourth year performing with Walsh at the college. Like Walsh, Broaders hails from Ireland, but his instrument of choice is the bouzouki, which he has been playing for 40 years.

Bouzoukis are stringed instruments that were traditionally associated with Greek music, but musicians have been incorporating them into Irish tunes since the 1960s. Broaders is a member of the group Open

the Door for Three, along with Kieran O’Hare and Liz Knowles.

Skelton, a newcomer to the annual Irish Music Concert, is a London-born flute player who currently lives in Kentucky. Skelton has been involved in several different projects throughout the years, including as a founding member of the band Shegui and a member See budget, Page A3

The Kenai Peninsula Borough is allocating money to hire consultants to find ways to make borough facilities management for efficient.

At their Tuesday night meeting, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly appropriated $220,000 from the general fund to cover the costs for facility management strategic planning. Funds for the multi-year project will not lapse, according to the ordinance. The goal of the project is to improve efficiency in facility management borough wide.

Since its establishment in 1964, the borough has accumulated more than 148 facilities that have a total value of more than $1 billion, the ordinance said. There is currently no centralized facility management of the borough’s assets and facilities. Management of the borough’s facilities are on an “as-needed basis” by the department See borough, Page A3

no evidence to support the allegations against Trump even though, just 24 hours earlier, they had rejected subpoenas for witnesses and documents. Democrats, meanwhile, described the evidence against the president as overwhelming but said senators have a duty to gather more.

The trial marks just the third time the Senate has weighed whether an American president should be removed from office. Democrats argue Trump abused his office by asking Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden while withholding crucial military aid, and also obstructed Congress by refusing to turn over documents or allow officials to testify in the House probe.

Republicans have defended Trump’s actions and cast the process as a politically motivated effort to weaken the president in the midst of his reelection campaign.

A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows the public is slightly more likely to say the Senate should convict and remove Trump from office than to say it should not, 45% to 40%. But a sizable percentage, 14%, say they don’t know enough to have an opinion.

One question there’s wide agreement on: Trump should allow top aides to appear as

witnesses at the trial. About 7 in 10 said so, including majorities of Republicans and Democrats, according to the poll.

The strategy of more witnesses, though, seems all but settled. Wrangling over rules for the trial stretched past midnight Tuesday night, with Republicans shooting down oneby-one Democratic efforts to get Trump aides including former national security adviser John Bolton, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, to testify.

Senators are likely to repeat those rejections next week, shutting out any chance of new testimony. One longshot idea to pair one of Trump’s preferred witnesses — Biden’s son Hunter Biden — with Bolton or another that Democrats want was swiftly rejected.

“That’s off the table,” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer told reporters.

Chief Justice John Roberts gaveled open Wednesday’s session as senators settled in for the long days ahead.

Trump, who was in Davos, Switzerland, attending a global economic forum, praised his legal team, and suggested he would be open to his advisers testifying, though that seems unlikely.

He said here were “national security” concerns that would stand in the way.

After the House prosecutors present their case, the president’s lawyers will follow with another 24 hours over

three days. They are expected to take only Sunday off.

“There’s a lot of things I’d like to rebut,” said Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow at the Capitol, “and we will rebut.”

Then there will be 16 hours for senators, who must sit quietly at their desks, no speeches or cellphones, to ask written questions, and another four hours for deliberations.

The impeachment trial is set against the backdrop of the 2020 election. All four senators who are Democratic presidential candidates are off the campaign trail, seated as jurors.

Campaigning at stops in Iowa, Joe Biden also rejected having his son testify, or even appearing himself. “I want no part of that,” he said.

“People ask the question, isn’t the president going to be stronger and harder to beat if he survives this? Yes, probably. But Congress has no choice,” he said. Senators must cast their votes and “live with that in history.”

Some Republicans expressed disdain for it all.

Joni Ernst of Iowa spoke sarcastically about how

excited she was to hear the “overwhelming evidence” the House Democrats promised against Trump. “And once we’ve heard that overwhelming evidence,” she added, raising her voice mockingly, “I don’t know that we’ll need to see additional witnesses, but let’s hear about that overwhelming evidence.”

The trial began with a setback Tuesday for Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, who backed off his plans to limit each side’s arguments to two days, as the White House had preferred.

But the GOP leader has been skilled at keeping even the most wayward Republicans, those with some concerns about Trump, united in batting back Democratic requests for witnesses and testimony. They ultimately approved a rules package that pushes off a final decision on whether or not to seek additional testimony until late in the trial.

Schumer bemoaned the remaining limitations, saying Wednesday the impeachment trial “begins with a cloud hanging over it, a cloud of unfairness.”

Jeanne MacPhee Jackinsky February 20, 1929 - January 15, 2020

February 18, 1955 - January 13, 2020

Jeanne MacPhee Jackinsky, 90, of Kasilof, passed away on January 15, 2020 with family by her side.

Jeanne was born in Portland, Oregon on February 20, 1929 to Donald and Adelaide MacPhee, the youngest in a family of four sisters and one brother.

Mom had fond memories of her family’s house in the Mt. Tabor neighborhood of Portland, their deep involvement in the Free Methodist church, and their summer beach house facing Twin Rocks on the Oregon Coast, a place she cherished and returned to over the years.

In her young adulthood she was a student at Los Angeles Pacific University and worked as a telephone operator before meeting George Jackinsky, a charming fisherman from Alaska. When he proposed, Mom responded, “Yes, as long as we don’t live in Alaska.”

Jeanne adapted well to frontier life in Alaska. Their first home was a one-room tent on the bluff overlooking the Cook Inlet between Kenai and Kasilof, graduating to a 2-room tent the following summer. She cared for both a brown bear cub and a moose calf, retrieved clothes from a clothesline wearing snowshoes, scared moose away with a broom, and killed a chicken hawk with a Winchester 405, the dead chicken still in its claw.

Jeanne and George Jackinsky were married 67 years. They homesteaded in Kasilof and built a lovely hilltop home on a wooded lake where they raised four children, held three weddings, buried six dogs, and hosted numerous church baptisms.

Mom worked as the first full-time secretary of Tustumena Elementary School in Kasilof for 26 years, a job she thoroughly loved. She also served at the Kasilof Public Library and in various roles at Kasilof Community Church including playing the organ for many years.

Jeanne is survived by her children, Traci Davis (Bill), Craig Jackinsky (Carmen), Lisa Jackinsky, and Jon Jackinsky (Kimberley); grandchildren Molly, Bill, and Dan Davis, Iris Sipes, Cameron and Hunter Jackinsky, and Shay Wearly; brother Donald MacPhee; and many great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, extended family and friends. She is preceded in death by grandson, Tom Davis, and husband, George Jackinsky.

The family appreciates the kindness showed by many to Mom in her last years.

A burial service will be held at a later date.

Mr. Wade Wadell Truesdell age 64 passed way at his home in Soldotna, Alaska on January 13, 2020. He was bon in Odessa, Texas to James and Arrie Truesdell on February 18, 1955.

Wade moved to Soldotna, Alaska in 1974. He worked in the oilfields of Texas, New Mexico, and Alaska, and was the owner of the Backtrackers Trailer Park since 1990. He had a heart of gold and could never say “no” to anyone. Loved to wood carve, gardening, animals, and children.

Wade was preceded in death by his parents James Wallace Truesdell and Arrie Gwendolyn Adams and a sister Ester Shook.

He is survived by sons; Adam Wade Truesdell of Arizona, Isaac Charles Truesdell of Soldotna, AK, grandsons; Gavin Wade Truesdell of Arizona, Coltyn Paul Truesdell of Arizona, Braden Truesdell of Kenai, AK, granddaughter Daisy of Soldotna, AK, sister; Yvonne Best of Soldotna, AK, nephews; Aubrey Scott best of Soldotna, Kevin Lee Best of Soldotna, James Shook of Soldotna, and a niece LaDonna Sheel of Wasilla, AK. A celebration of his life will be held at 2:00pm on January 23, 2020 at the Soldotna Senior Center, Soldotna, AK.

In 2019, a facility management committee — consisting of borough administrative employees — was formed to identify needs, strategies and priorities for borough facility management. The committee recommended the borough create a project that includes a third-party facility management consulting firm, the ordinance said.

Jennifer Johnston, R-Anchorage, said, “No, but no matter what it’s still concerning.”

The presentation emphasized lawmakers have to start making responsible decisions with regards to spending, Johnston said. And that meant all appropriations, she said.

“We don’t have a deficit if you don’t have the dividend,” Johnston said in an interview. “Am I advocating that, no. I’m just saying that our budget, which is a standard state budget,

The memo says the thirdparty consultant may bring a broader experienced-based perspective to borough efforts to standardize their facility management.

The ordinance appropriating the funds passed the assembly seven to one, with assembly member Jesse Bjorkman opposing the appropriation. Bjorkman attempted to amend the ordinance, reducing the appropriation by $150,000 in hopes of addressing the costs for the project during the regular budget cycle later this spring.

The amendment was voted down.

“I would much rather see this expenditure be made within the regular budget process so that we can weigh it against other priorities we have in the borough and figure out what we would like

Assembly President Kelly Cooper spoke in support of making the appropriations prior to the budget cycle.

“I find it very appropriate to do this outside of the budget process because this is the tool we need to develop our budget appropriately,” Cooper said. “I like our budgets to be as close as accurate as we possibly can make them.”

Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce also spoke in support of the appropriations at Tuesday’s meeting.

“I think without having standardized practices and clear understanding as to who owns and manages an asset you’re going to make mistakes,” Pierce said. “We’ve made mistakes along the way and we’ve got a lot of deferred maintenance in our facilities that’s catching up with

The man, identified as a Snohomish County, Washington, resident is in his 30s, was in good condition and wasn’t considered a threat to the public. The hospitalized man had no symptoms when he arrived at the SeattleTacoma airport last week, but he started feeling ill. He had traveled to China in November, flying home to Washington state Jan. 15 before the start of U.S. airport screening.

Investigators will make daily phone calls to those 16 who had contact with him, including some who sat near him on his flight, to check if they have symptoms. They will not be asked to isolate themselves unless they start feeling ill.

“This may be a novel virus, but this is not a novel investigation,” said John Wiesman of the Washington State Department of Health at a Wednesday briefing for reporters.

The patient is doing well in an isolation unit at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, about 30 miles north of Seattle.

Stranded woman dies off tundra trail BETHEL — A Southwest Alaska woman died last week after her snowmobile overturned in bitter cold temperatures.

The body of Elizanna Anvil, 22, Nunapitchuk, was recovered about 2 miles off of a main tundra trail and 4 miles from where the snowmobile had been left on its side, Alaska State Troopers said.

Troopers spokesman Tim Despain in an email response to questions said Anvil and a travel partner at 4 p.m. Thursday left Nunapitchuk on one snowmobile for the 22-mile trip to Bethel.

They made it to Bethel, Despain said, but on the trip back, the snowmobile turned onto its side. The temperature was -8 with windchill between -20 and -30, Despain said.

At about midnight, the travel partner arrived at Nunapitchuk alone. Troopers contacted officials in Nunapitchuk and Kasigluk and requested a search for Anvil.

Juneau police arrest suspect in kitten cruelty investigation JUNEAU — A Juneau man suspected of harming kittens has been arrested, Juneau police announced Wednesday.

Bradley Bethel, 32, was arrested Tuesday on a $20,000 cruelty to animals felony warrant, police said.

Police investigating another case found a video of a man repeatedly suffocating and torturing one more more kittens, Lt. Krag Campbell told the Juneau Empire last week.

Police believe the man in the video was Bethel, who has a distinct tattoo of a star near his right eye, Campbell said.

A Juneau grand jury on Thursday indicted Bethel.

Police late Tuesday morning spotted a man matching Bethel’s description entering a downtown home. Officer knocked on the door and received no response, police said. After obtaining a search warrant, officers found Bethel inside. Bethel is jailed at Lemon Creek Correctional Center. Online court documents do not list an attorney for Bethel who could comment on the case.

What others say

If witnesses are called, let the Senate hear both sides

T

he Senate impeachment trial began Tuesday with political theater over rules. Senate Republicans prefer an expeditious trial while Democrats who rushed to impeach in the House are suddenly demanding witnesses and crying “coverup.” So let’s break down what’s really going on in the fight over witnesses.

By our deadline, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell looked set to keep his caucus together for his organizing resolution. His framework provides Democratic House impeachment managers 24 hours over three working days to make their case, followed by the same for a White House defense. Bill Clinton’s trial also provided each side 24 hours, though neither ended up using even half.

But Democrats are demanding that the Senate also call former National Security Adviser John Bolton ; acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney ; Mulvaney adviser Robert Blair ; and White House budget official Michael Duffey.

This is more than a little disingenuous. House Democrats could have gone to court to challenge President Trump’s assertion of executive privilege over testimony, and the House did sue initially to compel former Bolton deputy Charles Kupperman. But House Democrats abandoned their demands when litigation didn’t fit their rushed political timeline. They declared instead that the existing evidence more than justified impeachment. Yet now their “overwhelming” evidence has become a GOP “coverup.”

We wouldn’t mind hearing from Mr. Bolton. But even if he does appear as a witness, he’d have to abide by Mr. Trump’s claims of executive privilege. A President doesn’t give up that privilege in an impeachment trial. The difference with Mr. Clinton’s trial is that Mr. Clinton litigated his privilege claims against independent counsel Kenneth Starr before impeachment. Yet Democrats still opposed most witnesses, including Monica Lewinsky.

Maybe Democrats hope witnesses will turn up something more damaging on Mr. Trump, but our guess is that the real game is political and geared to taking back the Senate.

Democrats figure Republicans will vote down witnesses, and they can run from here to November claiming the trial was “rigged” and hid the truth.

We think Republicans are justified in voting to convict or acquit based on the current evidence without witnesses.

But if they want to rebut the coverup claims, then call the Democrats’ bluff. Give them witnesses, but insist on calling those the President’s team would also like to call such as Hunter and Joe Biden.

Democrats say this is irrelevant to Mr. Trump’s behavior, but it is directly relevant to their charge that Mr. Trump acted with a “corrupt motive” when he asked for an investigation of Hunter Biden’s Ukraine activities. The White House says Mr. Trump was legitimately worried about corruption, including whether Ukraine turned a blind eye to natural gas company Burisma, which had Hunter Biden on its board.

If the Senate calls more witnesses, let’s hear both sides of this dispute. Hunter Biden can explain what he told his father about his business in Ukraine, and Joe Biden can explain the ethical wisdom of firing a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. There’s also former Obama energy czar Amos Hochstein, who raised concerns with Joe Biden and his aides about Hunter’s Ukrainian ties. And let’s hear from Chris Heinz, former secretary of state John Kerry’s stepson, who broke business ties with Hunter because his Burisma work was “unacceptable.”

This would be a spectacle, and our guess is that Democrats really don’t want to hear more witnesses. They merely want to pretend they do, get Republicans to vote against witnesses, and use that as an issue in November. Perhaps Republicans should call them on it.

Finding ways to support our military

A

s the United States is entering its 19th year of war in Afghanistan and Iraq, the presence of our troops in the respective regions can be out of sight and out of mind. All it takes is some attention, such as a breaking news story, for eyes and hearts to turn back to remembering the dangers our men and women in uniform continue to face. The attacks on U.S. military bases this month reminded the nation we still have troops on the ground and their lives were in imminent danger.

In the last couple of weeks, our U.S. Embassy in Iraq was under attack, Iran-backed militia were responsible for the death of an American contractor, and most recently more than a dozen missiles attacked Iraqi-U.S. bases housing our troops. Out of the roughly 5,000 U.S. troops deployed in Iraq, more than 2,000 are from Alaska. Between the Stryker Brigade out of Fort Wainwright and the Alaska Guard Rescue Squadron from JBER, our Alaska troops have a large presence in the region and are key contributors in supporting Operation Inherent Resolve in an effort to eliminate the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Alaskan soldiers were in charge of fence and base exterior security at Al-Asad. The night before the missile attacks the base commander ordered troops to bunker and lockdown the bases. Some units were

Our “thank you” needs to be continuous and not just when the news is on the front page. able to evacuate with their aircrafts while others sought shelter in hardened buildings or bunkers. However, many of the Alaska soldiers were to remain on the fence to ensure base security during the attack and sheltered in their vehicles.

After the attacks, commanders sought accountability of their troops and checked for casualties. The Explosive Ordnance Device (EOD) teams conducted sweeps to ensure no units remained unexploded.

After, they began the cleanup process to remove rubble, destroyed buildings and equipment.

I’ve spoken to several of our Alaskan military members and expressed my admiration for their strength under fire as well as relief that they sustained no casualties. Their matter-of-fact attitude of “we were just doing our job” is inspirational.

It hasn’t taken long for news reports to shift to the next hotbutton issue, and most have already

stopped talking about the strikes and the status of our U.S. troops. It’s important as the reports of what’s happening in the Middle East are less frequent, we remember our troops are still there. As I’ve learned, sometimes the best thing we can do to help is simply be supportive to them and their families back home.

To let them know while they are far in distance, they are near at heart.

I thank these men and woman for their service and remind Alaskans and the nation that we must never forget their sacrifices. Our “thank you” needs to be continuous and not just when the news is on the front page.

I encourage Alaskans to think about ways we can show our support for those who serve our country, their families and loved ones, and to let them know through our actions that they are appreciated — from how we remember them while afar to welcoming them when they come back home.

What others say

Democracy at risk if Republicans enable Trump impeachment strategy

S

enate Republicans on Tuesday laid the groundwork for a truncated trial of President Trump that would be a perversion of justice.

Proposals by Democrats to obtain critical evidence were voted down.

Unless several senators changed their positions, votes to acquit Mr. Trump on the House’s charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress could come as soon as next week without any testimony by witnesses or review of key documents. That would be unprecedented compared with previous presidential impeachments. It would gravely damage the only mechanism the Constitution provides for checking a rogue president.

Yet the rigging of the trial process may not be the most damaging legacy of the exhibition Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) is orchestrating in full collaboration with the White House. That might flow from the brazen case being laid out by Mr. Trump’s lawyers.

The defense brief they filed Monday argued that the president “did absolutely nothing wrong” when he pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch investigations of Joe Biden and a Russian-promoted conspiracy theory about the 2016 election. It further contends that Mr. Trump was entirely within his rights when he refused all cooperation with the House impeachment inquiry, including rejecting subpoenas for testimony and documents. It says he cannot be impeached because he violated no law.

Mr. Trump’s defense is designed to destroy those guardrails. If Republican senators go along with it, they will not only be excusing behavior that many of them believe to be improper. They will be enabling further assaults by Mr. Trump on the foundations of American democracy.

By asking senators to ratify those positions, Mr. Trump and his lawyers are, in effect, seeking consent for an extraordinary expansion of his powers. An acquittal vote would confirm to Mr. Trump that he is free to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 election and to withhold congressionally appropriated aid to induce such interference. It would suggest that he can press foreign leaders to launch a criminal investigation of any American citizen he designates, even in the absence of a preexisting U.S. probe, or any evidence.

The defense would also set the precedent that presidents may flatly refuse all cooperation with any congressional inquiry, even though the House’s impeachment power is spelled out in the Constitution. And it would establish that no president may be impeached unless he or she could be convicted of violating a federal statute — no matter the abuse of power. Those are principles that Republicans will regret if they conclude that a Democratic executive

has violated his or her oath of office.

Yet Mr. Trump demands they adopt his maximalist position regardless of the consequences.

We know that many Republican senators do not accept this unacceptable defense. Some, such as Rob Portman (Ohio), Patrick J. Toomey (Pa.), Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Neb.) and Susan Collins (Maine), have publicly criticized Mr. Trump for calling on Ukraine or China to investigate Mr. Biden. Mr. Portman and Mr. Toomey have taken the position that Mr. Trump’s behavior was wrong but not worthy of impeachment — a response that would, at least in theory, preserve some guardrails on the president’s behavior.

Mr. Trump’s defense is designed to destroy those guardrails. If Republican senators go along with it, they will not only be excusing behavior that many of them believe to be improper.

They will be enabling further assaults

by Mr. Trump on the foundations of American democracy.

Saudi crown prince’s WhatsApp linked to Bezos phone hack

By AYA BATRAWY Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The cellphone of Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos was hacked in what appeared to be an attempt by Saudi Arabia’s crown prince to “influence, if not silence” the newspaper’s reporting on the kingdom, two U.N. human rights experts said Wednesday.

The U.N. experts called for an “immediate investigation” by the United States into a report commissioned

by Bezos that showed the billionaire technology mogul’s phone was likely hacked after he received an MP4 video file sent from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s WhatsApp account after the two men exchanged phone numbers

during a dinner in Los Angeles in 2018.

The video file was sent to Bezos’ phone five months before Saudi critic and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was killed by Saudi government agents inside the Saudi consulate in Turkey in October. At the time, the crown prince was being widely hailed for ushering in major social reforms to the kingdom, but Khashoggi was writing columns in the Post that highlighted the darker side of Prince Mohammed’s simultaneous clampdown on dissent.

The Post was harshly critical of the Saudi government after Khashoggi’s killing and demanded accountability in a highly public campaign that ran in the paper for weeks after his death.

“The information we have

received suggests the possible involvement of the Crown Prince in surveillance of Mr. Bezos, in an effort to influence, if not silence, The Washington Post’s reporting on Saudi Arabia,” the independent U.N. experts said.

At a time when Saudi Arabia was “supposedly investigating the killing of Mr. Khashoggi, and prosecuting those it deemed responsible, it was clandestinely waging a massive online campaign against Mr. Bezos and Amazon targeting him principally as the owner of The Washington Post,” the experts said.

Bezos first went public about the hack last year. He said the National Enquirer tabloid, whose owner has ties to the crown prince, was threatening to publish Bezos’ private messages and photos if he didn’t stop a private

investigation he’d sought into the hacking of his phone.

Iyad el-Baghdadi, an activist who worked with Bezos’ investigators, told The Associated Press it appears the hacking was about free speech. “It’s not about trying to compromise a businessman for business purposes,” he said. “It’s not about Amazon, it’s about The Washington Post.”

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, called the hacking allegations “absolutely illegitimate.”

“There was no information in there that’s relevant. There was no substantiation, there was no evidence,” he told an AP reporter at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “It was purely conjecture, and if there is real evidence, we look forward to seeing it.”

The independent experts, Agnes Callamard, special rapporteur on summary executions and extrajudicial killings, and David Kaye, special rapporteur on freedom of expression, were appointed by the U.N. Human Rights Council. They published their statement after reviewing the report conducted by FTI Consulting, which was hired by Bezos’ security adviser to manage the investigation. The report was published in full exclusively by VICE’s Motherboard later on Wednesday.

The digital forensic investigation assessed with “medium to high confidence” that Bezos’ phone was infiltrated on May 1, 2018, via the video file sent from the crown prince’s WhatsApp account.

The U.N. experts said that records showed that within

hours of receiving the video from Prince Mohammed’s account, there was “an anomalous and extreme change in phone behavior” with enormous amounts of data being transmitted and exfiltrated from the phone, undetected, over months.

The report stated that Bezos’ phone was compromised “possibly via tools procured by Saud al-Qahtani,” the former adviser to the crown prince who was sanctioned by the U.S. for his suspected role in orchestrating the operation that killed Khashoggi.

Saudi Arabia’s justice system found al-Qahtani not guilty of any wrongdoing in the killing. A judge sentenced five people to death and sentenced three others to a combined 24 years in prison in December for Khashoggi’s slaying.

Chinese city stops outbound flights, trains to fight virus

By KEN MORITSUGU Associated Press

BEIJING — A Chinese city of more than 11 million people planned to shut down outbound flights and trains Thursday as the world’s most populous country battled the spread of a new virus that has sickened hundreds of people and killed 17, state media reported.

Everyone in the city of Wuhan was to be restricted to some degree. The stateowned People’s Daily newspaper said no one would be allowed to leave. The official Xinhua News Agency said no one would be permitted to leave without a specific reason.

Train stations and the airport were to shut down at 10 a.m. Buses, subways, ferries and long-distance shuttle buses would also be temporarily closed.

migrations of people. A handful of infected people who came from Wuhan have also been found overseas.

In Geneva, the World Health Organization put off deciding whether to declare the outbreak a global health emergency and asked an expert committee to continue meeting for a second day

Thursday.

“We need more information,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.

WHO defines a global emergency as an “extraordinary event” that constitutes a risk to other countries and requires a coordinated international response.

When asked about Wuhan’s public transport shutdown, WHO chief Tedros said authorities were likely acting to prevent transmission and mass gatherings.

“We cannot say they have done something unusual,” he said.

Trump administration approves Keystone pipeline on US land

By MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press

BILLINGS, Mont. — The Trump administration on Wednesday approved a rightof-way allowing the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline to be built across U.S. land, pushing the controversial $8 billion project closer to construction though court challenges still loom.

The approval signed by Interior Secretary David Bernhardt and obtained by The Associated Press covers 46 miles of the pipeline’s route across land in Montana that’s controlled by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said Casey Hammond, assistant secretary of the Interior Department.

Those segments of federal land are a small fraction of the pipeline’s 1,200-mile route, but the right-of-way was crucial for a project that’s obtained all the needed permits at the state and local levels.

The pipeline would transport up to 830,000 barrels of crude oil daily from western Canada to terminals on the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Project sponsor TC Energy said in a court filing that it wants to begin construction on the U.S.-Canada border crossing in Montana in April.

Opponents promised to challenge those plans in court.

First proposed in 2008, the pipeline has become emblematic of the tensions between economic development and curbing the

fossil fuel emissions that are causing climate change.

The Obama administration rejected it, but President Donald Trump revived it and has been a strong supporter.

The stretch approved Wednesday includes all federal land crossed by the line, Hammond said. Much of the rest of the route is across private land, for which TC Energy has been acquiring permissions to build on.

Environmentalists and Native American tribes along the pipeline route say burning the tar sands oil will make climate change worse, and that the pipeline could break and spill oil into waterways like Montana’s Missouri River.

They have filed numerous lawsuits.

Hammond said Interior

officials and other agencies have done a thorough review of the potential effects on the environment. He said TC Energy had provided detailed plans to respond to any spill.

“We’re comfortable with the analysis that’s been done,” Hammond said.

Another oil pipeline in TC Energy’s Keystone network in October spilled an estimated 383,000 gallons of oil in eastern North Dakota. Critics say a damaging spill from Keystone XL is inevitable given the length of the line and the many rivers and other waterways it would cross beneath.

An attorney for environmental groups that have sued to overturn Trump’s permit for the line said they will ask the judge in the case to block the new approval.

New rules could bump emotional-support animals

By DAVID KOENIG AP Airlines Writer

The days of passengers bringing their pets on airplanes as emotionalsupport animals could be ending.

The U.S. Department of Transportation on Wednesday proposed that only specially trained dogs qualify as service animals, which must be allowed in the cabin

at no charge.

Airlines could ban emotional-support animals including untrained dogs, cats and more exotic companions such as pigs, pheasants, rabbits and snakes.

Airlines say the number of support animals has grown dramatically in recent years.

They lobbied the Transportation Department to crack down on what they consider

a scam — passengers who call their pets emotionalsupport animals to avoid pet fees that generally run more than $100 each way.

“This is a wonderful step in the right direction for people like myself who are dependent on and reliant on legitimate service animals,” said Albert Rizzi, founder of My Blind Spot, an advocacy group for people with disabilities. He said some people

“want to have the benefits of having a disability without actually losing the use of their limbs or senses just so they can take their pet with them.”

The main trade group for large U.S. airlines praised the proposal. Nicholas Calio, president of Airlines for America, said, “The proposed rule will go a long way in ensuring a safer and healthier experience for everyone.”

the center of the outbreak.

The 17 deaths were all in Hubei province, where the outbreak emerged in the provincial capital of Wuhan late last month. Wuhan authorities said the province has confirmed 444 cases, which would bring the national total to more than 500.

The illness comes from a newly identified type of coronavirus, a family of viruses that can cause the common cold as well as more serious illnesses, such as the SARS outbreak that spread from China to more than a dozen countries in 20022003 and killed about 800 people. Some experts have drawn parallels between the new coronavirus and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome, another coronavirus that does not spread easily among humans and is thought to be carried by camels.

“There has already been human-to-human transmission and infection of medical workers,” Li Bin, deputy director of the National Health Commission, said at a news conference Wednesday. “Evidence has shown

that the disease has been transmitted through the respiratory tract, and there is the possibility of viral mutation.”

A tweet from WHO’s Asia office this week raised the possibility that the epidemic is spreading more easily and may no longer require an animal source to spark infections, as officials initially reported.

Authorities in Thailand on Wednesday confirmed four cases — a Thai national and three Chinese visitors.

Japan, South Korea, the United States, Taiwan and Macao, a former Portuguese colony that is a semi-autonomous Chinese city, have all reported one case each.

All of the illnesses were of people from Wuhan or who recently traveled there.

“The situation is under control here,” Thai Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told reporters, saying there are no reports of the infection spreading to others. “We checked all of them: taxi drivers, people who wheeled the wheelchairs for the patients, doctors and nurses who worked around them.”

briefly

Britain’s Brexit bill passes final hurdle LONDON — Britain’s Brexit bill passed its final hurdle in Parliament on Wednesday after the House of Lords abandoned attempts to amend it.

The acknowledgment came after the House of Commons overturned changes to the government’s flagship Brexit bill made a day earlier by the Lords.

The bill will become law when it receives royal assent from Queen Elizabeth II, a formality.

Britain is scheduled to leave the European Union on Jan. 31.

The Lords voted Tuesday to demand that postBrexit Britain continues to let unaccompanied migrant children in EU countries join relatives living in the U.K. The promise was made in 2018 by former British Prime Minister Theresa May, but it was removed from the Brexit legislation after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives won a big parliamentary majority in an election last month.

US to impose visas restrictions for pregnant women WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is

coming out Thursday with new visa restrictions aimed at restricting “birth tourism,” in which women travel to the U.S. to give birth so their children can have a coveted U.S. passport.

Visa applicants deemed by consular officers to be coming to the U.S. primarily to give birth will now be treazpractice and threatened to end it, but scholars and members of his administration have said it’s not so easy to do.

Regulating tourist visas for pregnant women is one way to get at the issue, but it raises questions about how officers would determine whether a woman is pregnant to begin with, and whether a woman could get turned away by border officers who suspect she may be just by looking at her.

Consular officers right don’t have to ask during visa interviews whether a woman is pregnant or intends to become so. But they would have to determine whether a visa applicant would be coming to the U.S. primarily to give birth.

Birth tourism is a lucrative business in both the U.S. and abroad. American companies take out advertisements and charge up to $80,000 to facilitate the practice, offering hotel rooms and medical care.

Many of the women travel from Russia and China to give birth in the U.S. The U.S. has been c racking down on the practice since before Trump took office.

Meet ‘Molly of Denali’

Mark Thiessen / associated press file

Dorothea Gillim, executive producer and co-creator of “Molly of Denali,” poses for a picture at the Anchorage Museum in Anchorage. on June 27. “Molly of Denali” is the first cartoon series with an Alaska Native character as the lead.

PBS show with a lead Native character is more than a cartoon for many

By Aliyah Chavez Indian Country Today

Charitie Ropati watched the pilot episode of “Molly of Denali” in her Columbia University dorm room, huddled around a computer screen with friends.

“We were crying,” Ropati said.

“We realized we finally had positive representation.”

“Molly of Denali” is the first cartoon series with an Alaska Native character as the lead. It premiered nationwide on PBS Kids in July.

For many, it is more than a cartoon.

“Watching the show is a way for my Native friends and I to bond,” said 18-year-old Ropati, Yup’ik, who had just moved to New York City from Anchorage and was feeling homesick when the pilot aired.

“PBS did such a good job. It is like my siblings, Native youth and myself can see ourselves in it.”

The series, in its first season, has Indigenous input at all levels of production, Indian Country Today reported. It includes 38 episodes, a podcast series and a collection of paperback books.

Dorothea Gillim is the series’ executive producer, a position she also held on “Curious George.”

After working in the industry for many years, she says this program is special. “I’ve never worked on a show where people tear up on a regular basis,” Gillim said.

Gillim says she recently heard about a non-Native family who wanted to make a trip to Alaska after watching the show. They

called the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce to learn more about Alaska Native languages to prepare for their trip.

Her job as executive producer is multifaceted. She raises money for the show while leading a close-knit team. And she was also involved at the earliest moments of the show to choose writers, producers, animators, and voice actors.

One of the talents she gathered was Princess Johnson, Neets’aii Gwich’in. Johnson is the creative producer of “Molly of Denali.”

Part of Johnson’s job is to advocate for Indigenous representation at every level of the creative process.

This means making sure things are done “right” in every episode, interstitial (a short-program shown between episodes that features Alaska Native children), online tools, games and podcast. She also ensures Alaska Natives are included as writers, actors and producers.

A job like this didn’t always exist.

There are serious implications to many non-Native people creating media about Native people, a 2018 IllumiNative report says. “The story they adopt is overwhelmingly one of deficit and disparity,” the report states. “This narrative can undermine relationships with other communities of color.”

Many say “Molly of Denali” challenges that.

More than 60 Alaska Natives participate in the production of the series as writers, producers, voice talent, advisers and musicians. They are from every region of Alaska where the show takes place.

For every character who is Native,

“I’ve never worked on a show where people tear up on a regular basis.”

— Dorothea Gillim, the show’s executive producer

their voice actor is Native too.

Beyond this, there is also a fellowship program for Alaska Native writers. Atomic Cartoons, the lead animation company of the series, holds internships for Alaska Natives.

Vera Starbard, Tłingit and Dena’ina, is a writer for “Molly.”

She says she has worked on many artistic projects that involve Alaska Native people. “I’ve never experienced this level of dedication to getting it right,” she said.

“Usually my job comes with emotional labor of having to educate others,” Starbard said. “This time … my job is just to write.”

Starbard says something surprising is how much work happens behind the scenes.

Here’s a little bit of how the process works: Writers think of a potential story they pitch to a producer. If their pitch is accepted, they work through many rounds of edits. Writers must decide who the characters are, where the story takes place and what informational text will go into an episode.

They have to write every word that a character speaks including where they chuckle or show forms of expression.

After a script is approved and “polished,” it is sent to directors and animators. “And then I don’t see the story again until it airs,” Starbard says.

This entire process takes a while.

Starbard’s first episode took 18 months before it aired. Because the show is in its first season, animators are tasked with creating entire new towns, characters and worlds.

Starbard has written four episodes so far. She says her life experiences inspire her story ideas. When writing “New Nivagi,” an 11-minute story that follows “Molly” while she gathers items to make her grandpa’s secret ice cream recipe, she says it reflected an experience she knows.

Starbard grew up in Alaska and says she had to be “pretty creative” to make recipes because sometimes it is hard to find ingredients.

So she wrote an entire episode where “Molly” does the same.

Producers of the show use other liberties to showcase Alaska’s diversity. One of “Molly’s” best friends is Tooey Ookami, a 10-year-old boy who is Koyukon, Yup’ik and Japanese. The other is Trini Mumford, a 7-year-old African American girl.

“We wanted to reflect the true diversity of Alaska and the public media,” said Johnson. Alaska is home to 229 tribes.

Johnson says it is especially heartwarming to hear about people’s reaction to the show.

Johnson remembers being in Anchorage when a young girl’s mother approached her to say they recently went to a “Molly” screening. After it was over, her daughter

was looking through her closet to find her kuspuk (a hooded shirt with large front pockets) because Molly wore her kuspuk in the show.

Another time Johnson remembers being at a children’s museum when a mother said her son was showing interest in his Inupiaq culture because of the show.

“That is the ultimate goal,” says Johnson. “It is a joy to see that sort of reaction.”

And the reactions are from nonNative people too. Johnson heard a story from a friend’s son who watched the show and asked what an ancestor was.

“When I go back to the beginning when I first heard of the show I knew the potential impact that the show could have,” said Johnson. She says it has been worth it because of that.

During Halloween, the show released a graphic informing viewers how to dress like “Molly.” They were especially cognizant of not telling people to wear her traditional regalia. Instead they encouraged viewers to wear a brown coat and boots, blue jeans and pink mittens. The graphic receiv≠ed traction on social media. It was liked more than a thousand times on Twitter.

Professionally, the opportunity to play a part in the production has opened doors for writers like Starbard. She says she was established in Alaska before “Molly” and now she’s considered a national writer.

Starbard said: “This is the definition of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Williamson scores 22 in debut

By The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Zion Williamson capped his longawaited NBA debut by scoring 17 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter and stirring the crowd into a frenzy — only to see his team come up short.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 32 points and 14 rebounds, DeMar DeRozan added 20 points, and the San Antonio Spurs withstood Williamson’s late surge for a 121-117 victory over New Orleans on Wednesday night.

After spending the past three months rehabilitating from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, Williamson struggled to find his shot during the first three quarters, during which he played a little less than 12 minutes.

When the fourth quarter began, he had just five points, four rebounds, an assist and four turnovers.

But when Williamson found himself open for a straight-on 3 with about nine minutes to go, he let it fly and it went down. He followed that with a torrid three-minute stretch in which he laid in an alley-oop lob, put back a missed shot with a reverse layup and hit three more 3s. He finished the surge with a free throw as the jubilant crowd chanted, “M-V-P!” He was subbed out shortly after.

New Orleans got as close as 119-117 on Josh Hart’s 3, but Aldridge responded with two free throws and the Spurs did not give up another basket.

Brandon Ingram scored 22 for New Orleans but missed 16 of 22 shots, while Lonzo Ball had 14 points and 12 assists.

HAWKS 102, CLIPPERS 95 ATLANTA — John Collins scored 33 points and got a big assist from two-way player Brandon Goodwin as Atlanta, playing without Trae Young, rallied from a 21-point deficit to stun the short-handed Clippers.

Goodwin chipped in with 19 points — all in the fourth quarter — and dished off

to De’Andre Hunter in the corner for a 3-pointer that gave the Hawks a 99-93 lead with 1:43 remaining.

RAPTORS 107, 76ERS 95 TORONTO — Pascal Siakam had 18 points and 15 rebounds, Fred VanVleet scored 22 and Toronto extended its winning streak to five games with a win over Philadelphia.

Norman Powell added 18 points, Marc Gasol shot 7 for 7 and finished with 17 points, and Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka each scored 16 as the Raptors won their 15th straight home meeting with the 76ers.

LAKERS 100, KNICKS 9 NEW YORK — LeBron James scored 19 of his 21 points to quickly cut into Kobe Bryant’s shrinking lead over him for the No. 3 scoring spot in NBA history, and Los Angeles beat the Knicks.

Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 28 points in his second game back after a five-game absence, after the Western Conference leaders were handed their worst loss of the season Monday in his return.

James’ quiet second half left him with 33,599 points, 44 behind Bryant.

HEAT 134, WIZARDS 129, OT MIAMI — Tyler Herro scored 25 points, Jimmy Butler scored nine of his 24 points in overtime and Miami wasted a 21-point lead before beating Washington.

Butler also had 10 assists and seven rebounds for the Heat, who improved to 20-1 at home and 8-0 in overtime this season. Goran Dragic had 22 points and 10 assists, Kendrick Nunn scored 14 points and Duncan Robinson finished with 13 for the Heat.

Bradley Beal had a gamehigh 38 points for Washington on 16-for-24 shooting.

Davis Bertans scored 24, Isaiah Thomas and Jordan

McRae each had 14 and Ian Mahinmi scored 10 for the Wizards.

CELTICS 119, GRIZZLIES 95 BOSTON — Jayson Tatum scored 23 points before leaving the game in the third quarter with a groin injury as Boston routed Memphis.

Daniel Theis had 14 points, Enes Kanter finished with 13 points and eight rebounds to help Boston win its second straight. Memphis has lost two in a row since posting a season-high, seven-game win streak.

THUNDER 120, MAGIC 114 ORLANDO, Fla. — Dennis Schroder scored 31 points and Oklahoma City shot 60.5% against one of the NBA’s better defenses and beat Orlando.

Schroder came off the bench with 13-for-18 shooting and added nine assists for the Thunder, who won for the eighth time in nine road games.

ROCKETS 121, NUGGETS 105 HOUSTON — Russell Westbrook had 28 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists, James Harden added 27 points and Houston snapped a four-game losing streak with a victory over shorthanded Denver.

Harden scored 20 points in the first half. He connected on 13 of 15 from the free throw line. Houston shot 47%, including 13 of 29 on 3-pointers.

PACERS 112, SUNS 87 PHOENIX — T.J. Warren scored 25 points in his return to Phoenix, Domantas Sabonis added 24 and Indiana rolled past the Suns.

Warren was playing his first game against the Suns after being traded from Phoenix to Indiana during the offseason. The sixth-year forward — who played his first five years with the Suns — shot

11 of 18 from the field.

PISTONS 127, KINGS 106 DETROIT — Derrick Rose scored 22 points and Reggie Jackson added 22 points in his return to lineup, as Detroit beat Sacramento and dealt the Kings their sixth straight loss.

Jackson missed 42 games since leaving the second game of the season with a back injury. He made a floater on his first attempt and played well in his 19 minutes off the bench, shooting 8 of 14 and handling out four assists.

BULLS 117, TIMBERWOLVES 110 CHICAGO — Zach LaVine scored 25 points, Lauri Markkanen added 21 and Chicago overcame a big performance

by Karl-Anthony Towns to beat Minnesota.

LaVine had seven points in the final 2:25 to help Chicago pull out the win after letting a 19-point lead in the second quarter slip away.

His 3-pointer with 1:23 remaining put the Bulls ahead for good at 111-108.

LaVine then hit two free throws with 26 seconds left.

Kris Dunn sank four more foul shots and the Bulls came out on top after losing nine of 12.

Towns scored a seasonhigh 40 points, but the Timberwolves lost their seventh straight.

JAZZ 129, WARRIORS 96 SAN FRANCISCO — Rudy Gobert had 22 points, 15 rebounds and three blocked shots, and Donovan Mitchell scored 23 to lead Utah past Golden State.

D’Angelo Russell overcame a slow start to score 26 points for the Warriors, who lost for the 11th time in 12 games and couldn’t build any momentum at Chase Center after ending a fivegame home losing streak with Saturday’s victory over Orlando.

By The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Oliver Bjorkstrand scored twice, Elvis Merzlikins stopped 27 shots, and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 on Wednesday night for their sixth straight win.

Bjorkstand broke the tie with a top-shelf shot over the shoulder of Winnipeg goalie Laurent Brossoit with 5:38 left in the game. Bjorkstrand had his second twogoal game in a row since missing 13 games with a rib/ oblique injury.

Seth Jones and Gustav Nyquist also scored for the Blue Jackets, who go into the All-Star break and their NHL-required winter break 16-2-4 since Dec. 9. Merzlikins won his fifth straight start, and Pierre-Luc Dubois tied a career-high with three assists.

Kyle Connor had a goal and an assist, and Mason Appleton and Neal Pionk

also scored for Winnipeg, Brossoit finished with 25 saves.

WILD 4, RED WINGS 2 ST. PAUL, Minn. — Eric Staal and Mats Zuccarello each had a goal and assist, and Devan Dubnyk stopped 25 shots to help Minnesota get its third win in four games.

Jordan Greenway and Jason Zucker also scored for Minnesota, which is in the midst of a season-high seven-game homestand that continues after this weekend’s All-Star break.

Detroit’s Filip Zadina was credited with two goals, his first NHL multigoal game, but both came on deflections off a Wild player. Jimmy Howard had 29 saves for the Red Wings, who will head into their break having lost six in a row overall and eight straight on the road.

Eli Manning calls it quits after 16 seasons EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Eli Manning is ending a 16-year NFL career that saw him recognized as a great quarterback, a leader, a solid citizen and the man who led the New York Giants back into prominence with two Super Bowl titles.

Manning, who set almost every Giants passing record in career solely based in New Jersey’s Meadowlands, has retired, the Giants said Wednesday. He will formally announce his retirement on Friday and there is little doubt the team will retire his No. 10 jersey.

“For 16 seasons, Eli Manning defined what it is to be a New York Giant both on and off the field,” John Mara, the Giants’ president and chief executive officer said in a statement.

“Eli is our only two-time Super Bowl MVP and one of the very best players in our franchise’s history. He represented our franchise as a consummate professional with dignity and accountability. It meant something to Eli to be the Giants quarterback, and it meant even more to us.

We are beyond grateful for his contributions to our organization and look forward to celebrating his induction into the Giants Ring of Honor in the near future.”

The recently turned 39-year-old’s future had been in doubt since the end of the season. Manning’s contract with the Giants expired after the 4-12 season and there was little chance he would be returning after losing his longtime starting job to rookie Daniel Jones.

Manning said he wanted to think about his future after the season and roughly three weeks after the season ended he decided his career was

over.

He leaves the NFL with as many Super Bowl titles as his brother, Peyton, who retired after leading the Denver Broncos to a title after the 2015 season.

The Giants acquired Manning from San Diego on draft day in 2004 after the Ole Miss quarterback told the Chargers he did not want to play for them and forced the deal that general manager Ernie Accorsi gladly accepted.

It started a major turnaround for a team that was 4-12 the previous season.

Manning replaced Hall of Famer Kurt Warner as the starter for then-new coach Tom Coughlin after nine games. They won the NFC East the following season.

Within three seasons, the Giants won their first NFL championship since the 1990 season and Manning got his first Super Bowl MVP award, knocking off the previously unbeaten New England Patriots. The second came after the 2011 season when Manning and company again beat Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the Pats.

In both games, Manning hit a clutch late pass on game-winning drives. He and David Tyree hooked up on the helmet catch in the first one and he found Mario Manningham on sideline go pattern in the second, igniting an 88-yard drive.

“Eli Manning not only is the quarterback on those great teams, but he is the MVP of the Super Bowls,” Coughlin said. “He’s an incredible big- game performer. You talk about a guy that’s great to coach, focused every day, took tremendous pride in preparing, practice, had a great sense of humor, was a cynic in the locker room.”

Peninsula Clarion

Blue courts turn red at Open Mets hire Rojas

By John Pye AP Sports Writer

Red dust and rain gave some of the blue courts at the Australian Open a more Roland Garros hue, adding yet another freakish element to the conditions that have plagued the season’s first major.

Rain on three of the first four days of the tournament has caused disruptions for players and organizers, little more than a week after smoke from bush fires caused air quality in Melbourne to be ranked among the worst in the world.

Play was delayed on outside courts Thursday by showers and what a weather expert called “dirty rain” that left damp red dust covering some courts, forced the closer of some public pools and turned the Yarra River a deep, murky brown.

In the three courts with retractable roofs, it was business as usual. Fourth-seeded Daniil Medvedev needed a medical timeout for a nose

bleed before beating Spanish qualifier Pedro Martinez 7-5, 6-1, 6-3 and advancing to the third round.

In the next match on Margaret Court Arena, 2016 Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber beat Priscilla Hon 6-3, 6-2 to complete a day session schedule that started with sixth-seeded Belinda Bencic’s 7-5, 7-5 win over 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko.

On Rod Laver Arena, second-seeded Karolina Pliskova, a semifinalist here last year, advanced 6-3, 6-3 win over Laura Siegemund following two-time major winner Garbine Muguruza’s 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 win over Ajla Tomljanovic.

Medvedev, the U.S. Open finalist, was leading 5-0 in the second set when he called the trainer to help stem the blood from his nose. He said it happens to him sometimes, he wasn’t bothered too much and confirmed it wasn’t related to tension.

“No, no, not at all. If it would be, I would be bleeding every match I play,” he said, smiling.

Medvedev said shifting from outdoor conditions to indoors helped him against Martinez.

“Yeah, of course it changes a lot, even like it was gray when we stepped on the court. We just played one game on the, let’s say, outdoor court,” he said. “As soon as the roof is closed, everything is different. It gets more hot, more humid inside. The ball goes faster. I think the sound of the ball even is different. So everything is completely different.

“Today, I think it was in my advantage. Sometimes can be in your disadvantage.”

Bencic said she was happy to get her match out of the way early.

“I didn’t know the courts were, like, wet and dirty and all that,” Bencic said. “But for sure it was difficult today. It was sometimes sunny and then suddenly was almost raining. Then windy. Yeah, you just kind of have to accept it and go with it and try your best.”

Melbourne Park staff used high-pressure hoses to clean

court surfaces. Light rain became heavy, forcing the suspension of play on outside courts until the sun came out in the mid-afternoon. Among the big winners was CiCi Bellis, the 20-year-old Californian who is ranked 600th following four surgeries on her arm.

Bellis upset No. 20-seeded Karolina Muchova. No. 19 Donna Vekic beat Alize Cornet 6-4, 6-2 and Zarina Diyas rallied to beat Anna Blinkova 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

On the men’s side, Ernests Gulbis held off Aljaz Bedene 7-5, 6-3, 6-2.

Organizers were again forced to postpone matches because of the weather, rescheduled seven women’s and six men’s first-round doubles matches to Friday.

Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Richard Carlyon told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. the brown rain was the result of the rain front moving through a dust storm northwest of Melbourne, and not from bushfire smoke.

McIlory eyes return to top spot SAN DIEGO (AP) — A small crowd that gathered in the morning chill made its way to the first tee to watch Tiger Woods start his pro-am round Wednesday at Torrey Pines.

The first starting time is ideal because the front nine is open.

Rory McIlroy was in the second group. As the FedEx Cup champion and PGA Tour player of the year, wouldn’t he have the option of going first?

McIlroy laughed and said, “I’m not Tiger Woods.”

No one is. Woods has built his unrivaled status through 82 victories on the PGA Tour, 15 major championships, some 10 years at No. 1 in the world and transcendent star power that still shines bright.

McIlroy will have to settle for being the second biggest star during a week when he can return to No. 1 in the world.

They will be a group apart when the Farmers Insurance Open begins Thursday, creating a must-see atmosphere.

Never mind this is the fourth tournament of the new year. Woods and McIlroy

make it feel like a season opener, especially because of the first network TV coverage of the year during an open week of NFL ahead of the Super Bowl. Throw in the likes of Phil Mickelson and Xander Schauffele, Jon Rahm and defending champion Justin Rose, and it’s a big show on a big course.

Woods, who will set the PGA Tour record for career titles with his next win, has eight victories at Torrey Pines.

His last win at the Farmers Insurance Open was in 2013.

Injuries came along, and even when healthy, he has been slow out of the gates the last few years.

He last played Dec. 15 at the Presidents Cup, and aside from spending his 44th birthday playing golf with his son, Woods didn’t do much until getting back to practice a few weeks ago.

“I think for me, managing adrenaline takes a little bit of time,” Woods said. “I’m so amped up to play that I really have to dumb myself down, to calm myself down to play. ... I just want to get out there

and compete. So sometimes I need to take a step back and calm down before I’m ready.”

McIlroy also is coming off a long break. He chose to spend Christmas and New Year’s Eve in Northern Ireland, so he passed on a trip across two oceans to Hawaii for the Tournament of Champions.

He was in no rush to get started on what should be a long year, including his first Olympics in the summer. He also was in no rush to return to No. 1 in the world for the first time since 2015.

It was only last summer, after he missed the cut in the British Open, that returning to No. 1 seemed a long way off.

Since then, McIlroy won the Tour Championship and another World Golf Championship, among eight top-10 finishes in his last 10 tournaments. Top-ranked Brooks Koepka played three rounds over the last four months of the year because of a knee injury.

“I learned a lot of things at Portrush that I’ve put into my game, into my preparation, into my thought process going

into other tournaments,” McIlroy said. “And yeah, I’ve had a pretty good run since then. But no, it wasn’t on the radar when I was flying back from Northern Ireland in July.”

And it’s not at the forefront of his mind now.

McIlroy would have to win this week, and he has never won his first tournament of the year since he turned pro in 2007.

“I don’t want to say it feels like it’s just a matter of time, but if I just keep doing what I’m doing, if it isn’t this week, then hopefully it’s a couple weeks down the line and I’ll have my chances,” McIlroy said. “So I’m not putting myself under any pressure this week to get it done.”

McIlroy is taking the next two weeks off, though he faces a busy year. He has planned on seven starts ahead of the Masters, and five straight tournaments from the Irish Open through the Travelers Championship in the early summer, followed by the British Open, Olympics, the FedEx Cup and the Ryder Cup.

NEW YORK (AP) — Caught off guard in a quick split with Carlos Beltrán, the New York Mets want some continuity for a change.

So with spring training only three weeks away, they picked his replacement from their very own bench.

The club was working Wednesday to complete a multiyear agreement with quality control coach Luis Rojas that would make him New York’s fourth manager in the past 2 1/2 years — and third in four months.

“He has a good finger on the pulse of this particular team. He was part of it last year,” general manager Brodie Van Wagenen said.

“He knows these guys, and he knows how to communicate to them. Every returning player on the roster has a relationship with him, and that’s valuable to us at this time.”

Rojas would take over for Beltrán, let go by the Mets last week before managing a single game as part of the fallout from the Houston Astros’ sign-stealing scandal.

The 38-year-old Rojas is the son of former Montreal Expos and San Francisco Giants manager Felipe Alou and the brother of ex-big

league outfielder Moises Alou, who spent his last two seasons with the Mets from 2007-08. A minor league manager for eight years, Rojas has worked in the organization since 2007 but had never coached in the majors before joining Mickey Callaway’s staff last season.

“Luis earned this job.

He has literally trained his whole life to be a manager,” Van Wagenen said. “He is considered one of the better in-game decision makers simply that we have in the organization.”

Rojas’ duties in the dugout as quality control coach included serving as “a conduit between the front office and coaching staff on all issues including game preparation, strategy and analytics,” according to the team’s media guide. He also was New York’s outfield coach in 2019 and led the effort in preparing hitters for opposing pitchers, Van Wagenen said.

Callaway was fired after the season, and Rojas interviewed for the vacancy before New York hired Beltrán on Nov. 1. Van Wagenen said Rojas knew he was “a serious candidate” back in October.

Today in History Today is Thursday, Jan. 23, the 23rd day of 2020. There are 343 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 23, 1964, the 24th Amendment to the United States Constitution, eliminating the poll tax in federal elections, was ratified as South Dakota became the 38th state to endorse it.

On this date: In 1368, China’s Ming dynasty, which lasted nearly three centuries, began as Zhu Yuanzhang (zhoo whan-zhahng) was formally acclaimed emperor following the collapse of the Yuan dynasty.

In 1845, Congress decided all national elections would be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

In 1932, New York Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt announced his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination.

In 1950, the Israeli Knesset approved a resolution affirming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

In 1962, Jackie Robinson was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Tony Bennett recorded “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” in New York for Columbia Records.

In 1968, North Korea seized the U.S. Navy intelligence ship USS Pueblo, commanded by Lloyd “Pete” Bucher, charging its crew with being on a spying mission; one sailor was killed and 82 were taken prisoner.

(Cmdr. Bucher and his crew were released the following December after enduring 11 months of brutal captivity at the hands of the North Koreans.)

In 1973, President Richard Nixon announced an accord had been reached to end the Vietnam War, and would be formally signed four days later in Paris.

In 1977, the TV mini-series “Roots,” based on the Alex Haley novel, began airing on ABC. In 1989, surrealist artist Salvador Dali died in his native Figueres, Spain, at age 84.

In 1998, a judge in Fairfax, Virginia, sentenced Aimal Khan Kasi (eyeMAHL’ kahn KAH’-see) to death for an assault rifle attack outside CIA headquarters in 1993 that killed two men and wounded three other people.

New York Gov. David Paterson chose Democratic Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand (KEHR’-sten JIL’-uhbrand) to fill the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Ten years ago: Abby Sunderland, 16, left Marina del Rey, California, on her first attempt to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world. (The voyage ended a week and a-half later because the boat experienced power problems; Sunderland then made a second attempt, but that, too, fell short.) Rachael Flatt won her first title at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Spokane, Washington, finishing more than 10 points ahead of Mirai Nagasu (mih-RY’ NAH’-guh-soo).

Five years ago: King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, 90, the powerful U.S. ally who’d fought against al-Qaida and sought to modernize the ultraconservative Muslim kingdom, died in Riyadh. Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer Ernie Banks, 83, died. Roger Federer was ousted from the Australian Open in the third round, beaten by Andreas Seppi 6-4, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (5).

One year ago: After a week-long showdown with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Donald Trump said he was postponing his State of the Union address until the partial government shutdown was over.

Venezuela’s political crisis escalated as an opposition leader backed by the Trump administration, Juan Guaido (gwy-DOH’), declared himself interim president; President Nicolas Maduro responded by breaking off relations with the United States. (The opposition failed to oust Maduro, who retained the backing of the country’s military). Democrat Pete Buttigieg (BOOT’-eh-jehj), the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said he was forming an exploratory committee for a 2020 presidential bid. Police in Phoenix announced the arrest of a licensed practical nurse accused of sexually assaulting an incapacitated woman who had given birth in December at a long-term health care facility. (Nathan Sutherland is awaiting trial.)

DEAR SMOTHERED: Adele When I moved here, I left behind

my family, friends and all I had ever known to be with him, but something just never felt right here. Since the breakup, this city has felt less and less like home, but the problem is, I never really felt at home in the town I grew up in either. It was a small, repressed community where if you even said the word “gay,” most people were ready to shun you. Only some of my closest and dearest friends and a few family members really accepted me.

I guess my problem now is, I just don’t know what to do. I’m trying to find my place in this world. Any advice you can offer or help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

DEAR ABBY: I sent a VERY nice watch to my grandson for his 23rd birthday. The first thing he did was have it appraised for value and authenticity. The second thing he did was let me know he did it. I am flabbergasted and somewhat offended.

Additionally, this grandson and his siblings seem never to have been taught the importance of a handwritten thank-you note. Am I wrong and old-fashioned? — NOT SO SURE IN THE SOUTH DEAR NOT SO SURE: Not in my book. Good manners never go out of fashion. But don’t blame your grandson or his siblings for the breach of etiquette. Parents are supposed to teach their children the social niceties, and it appears theirs fell down on the job.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You could be mystified by what is happening around you, specifically in the public realm. Emphasis is on a long-term agreement.

There could be a hassle around your funds or a misunderstanding. Tonight: Simplify rather than clarify.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You might want to chat about a recurring issue. The solu-

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Try to get past an issue that might be complicating a problem. Whatever you are dealing with has an element of emotional attachment. Detach, consider your goals and confirm you are heading in the right direction. Tonight: Zero in on priorities.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Others might be emotional and controlling. Be smart and do not become involved in what is occurring. A close friend or associate points to the way through this maze. Tonight: Go with another person’s offer to lead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Being positive helps you through a situation. Do not undermine the importance of what is happening. You could find a person, probably a woman, challenging you in your daily life. Let go and move to the more positive areas of your life. Tonight: Say yes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Resist being taken in by

Dear Readers: Splash some wine on your blouse? No worries. Daub with cool water, then sponge the area with white vinegar and rinse. If the stain remains, gently rub in a tiny amount of liquid laundry detergent and launder as usual.

Vinegar is a workhorse in the home. Safe, cheap and readily available, I’ve reached for it time and time again. I have compiled my favorite vinegar hints, helps and recipes into a handy pamphlet.

Would you like to receive one? It’s easy! Visit www.

Heloise.com. FYI: To remove most fresh stains left by deodorants and antiperspirants, rub with undiluted white vinegar, then launder as usual, using the hottest water safe for the fabric. — Heloise

SOUP’S ON Dear Heloise: Cream soups straight out of the can (heated or not) can make delicious dips for breads, chips and veggies. Their easy prep saves time! — Annie in California

Rubes | Leigh Rubin

HHHH Others might sense that your emotional tenor is unusual.

Do not hesitate to go for what you desire. Be more direct. Recognize another person’s demands. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might opt to spend more time at home. Your ability to complete what you desire pushes you to the forefront. People know they can depend on you. Loosen up and attempt to find the correct path. Tonight: Be as wild as you desire.

HHH Follow through on a longterm desire. You might not know how to make a dream a reality. Do not lose your sense of humor. Relax and go with the moment. Your instincts about what is happening could be on target. Tonight: Be less flakey and more direct.

HHH A conversation puts you on a better path and creates a deeper sense of unity between you and another person. The conversation might not be expressly related, but it will point to a specific direction. Tonight: Your sense of humor emerges.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Stay close to a friend who can be as emotional as you. You could be heading in the wrong direction at the moment. Choose to make a decision when you are more relaxed and in control. Tonight: Where the action is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) HHH You could be more expressive than you have been for a while.

Be willing to speak about what is on your mind. Talk with an openminded person even if you do not usually agree with each other. Tonight: Be aware of the costs of continuing as you have.

A splash of water or broth may make them less viscous and easier to pour. — Heloise

CUT IT OUT! Dear Heloise: I make cooking as efficient as possible. I purchased a specific pair of scissors to use solely in the kitchen. This has turned out to be one of my favorite purchases! My scissors are great when I need to cut pieces of basil into thin strips to add to caprese salad or any other recipes. This is far easier and faster than cutting basil with a knife. — Taylor R., Huntington Beach, Calif.

HINT FROM HIM Dear Heloise: I had new faucets installed, and I was dismayed to see all the gunk in the trap from toothbrushing.

I took a hint from my dentist and started rinsing into a cup after brushing my teeth, then emptying it into the toilet. This keeps the trap clean. — Bill C., Terre Haute, Ind.

This year you evolve. You are likely to understand others’ motivations more clearly. Discussions will help clear any obstacles. If single, be discriminating about who you hook up with. Not everyone is as they project. Take your time getting to know someone before you take any steps toward commitment. If attached, be as vulnerable as you can with your sweetie. As a couple, you flourish the more one-on-one time you spend together. AQUARIUS understands you clearly. You often get significant feedback from this sign.
