Blizzard warning issued for Turnagain pass area Wind and snow created hazardous weather conditions Wednesday in some areas around the Kenai Peninsula.

A blizzard warning was issued Wednesday morning for the Turnagain Pass area, as well as Whittier, Seward, Girdwood and Moose Pass. The warning was in effect from Wednesday afternoon until 4 a.m. Thursday.

Gusting winds reaching as fast as 60 miles per hour were expected.

Snow is expected to fall all day Wednesday, and the warning said residents could see total snow accumulation of 4 to 10 inches, with higher amounts in some areas.

Travel through these areas would be “very difficult,” the warning said, with blowing snow reducing visibilities to one quarter mile or less at times.

The worst conditions will be in the eastern Turnagain Arm area, however, low visibilities and blowing snow were expected to affect the entire Seward Highway corridor from eastern Turnagain Arm to Seward.

A brisk wind advisory for Cook Inlet north of Kalgin Island was also issued Wednesday by the National Weather Service.

The advisory shows winds reaching 30 knots Wednesday, and then calming down between 10 and 20 knots until Sunday.

Alaskan musher wins Beargrease Marathon GRAND PORTAGE, Minn. — Alaskan musher Ryan Redington has won the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon in northeastern Minnesota for the second time in three years. Redington and his huskies spent more than 29 hours on the nearly 300-mile trail along Lake Superior before arriving in Grand Portage late Tuesday afternoon.

The Star Tribune says Redington comes from a family of dog mushers.

He won the Beargrease marathon in 2018 and has competed in numerous races, including Alaska’s famous Iditarod, which his grandfather founded. The seven dogs that finished the race with

Defense: ‘Quid pro quo’ not impeachable

By Lisa Mascaro, Eric Tucker and Zeke Miller ]Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In a striking shift from President Donald Trump’s claims of “perfect” dealings with Ukraine, his defense asserted Wednesday at his Senate trial that a trade of U.S. military aid for political favors — even if proven — could not be grounds for his impeachment.

Trump’s defenders relied on retired professor Alan Dershowitz, a member of their team, who told senators that every politician conflates his own interest with the public interest. “It cannot be impeachable,” he declared.

Democrats are pressing hard to force the Senate to call more witnesses

to testify, but Republicans appear intently focused on bringing the impeachment trial to a vote of acquittal, possibly in a matter of days. Even new revelations from former national security adviser John Bolton are being countered by the president’s lawyers, who used Wednesday’s unusual question-and-answer session to warn off prolonging the proceeding, insisting senators have heard enough.

Democrats argued Bolton’s forthcoming book cannot be ignored. It contends he personally heard Trump say he wanted military aid withheld from Ukraine until it agreed to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden — the abuse of power charge that is the first article of impeachment.

The vote on calling witnesses is

expected by Friday.

As Chief Justice John Roberts fielded queries, Texas Republican Ted Cruz asked if it mattered whether there was a quid pro quo?

Simply, no, declared Dershowitz, who said many politicians equate their reelection with the public good.

“That’s why it’s so dangerous to try to psychoanalyze a president,” he said.

Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democrat leading the House prosecutors, appeared stunned.

“All quid pro quos are not the same,” he retorted. Some might be acceptable, some not. “And you don’t need to be a mind reader to figure out which is which. For one thing, you can ask John Bolton.”

With voting on witnesses later this

Day to reach out, connect Project Homeless Connect provides support, services for those experiencing homelessness

week, Democrats, amid the backdrop of protesters swarming the Capitol, are making a last-ditch push to sway Republicans to call Bolton and others to appear for testimony and ensure a “fair trial.”

Trump faces charges from the House that he abused his power like no other president, jeopardizing Ukraine and U.S.-Ukraine relations by using the military aid as leverage while the vulnerable ally battled Russia. The second article of impeachment says Trump then obstructed the House probe in a way that threatened the nation’s three-branch system of checks and balances.

Event to Solarize the Kenai kicks off

By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

the People to govern themselves,” the resolution said.

“When freedom of speech is equated with freedom to spend money, the free speech of the majority of the People may be overwhelmed by the messages of the few who are able to spend millions of dollars to influence the political process,” the resolution said.

Brought to the assembly by members Tyson Cox and Brent

A group of local organizers are banding together this week to make installing solar panels on local homes and businesses affordable.

On Thursday, the Solarize the Kenai project kicks off by inviting residents who are interested in installing solar power on their property to speak with people who have already gone solar, and to learn more about Solarize — a project that gathers a group of solar power customers to ensure discounts on installment.

The Solarize the Kenai project, which is a citizen-led project working with Kenai Change, is based on other collective solar-buying projects that started a decade ago in Portland, Oregon. The model of the project is to pool the collective buying power of business and homeowners. Solar installers then bid for the job serving the large group of customers. For the installer, filling out their schedule with a known group of customers lowers their logistics and marketing costs, letting them offer services for less, Ben Boettger, an organizer for the Solarize the Kenai event, said via email.

“Because the installers are competing against one another for the pool of customers, they’re incentivized to offer even more of a discount,” Boettger said.

The idea to Solarize the Kenai came out of discussions from the Drawdown: Book to Action Climate Series, a community group focused on finding local projects to combat climate change. The series wrapped up this fall and the group voted to move forward with a community composting project, but Solarize the Kenai was a project the group still felt passionate about pursuing, Boettger said.

Hosting the Solarize the Kenai event this year was also strategic. Boettger said the group wanted to take advantage of the federal Solar Investment Tax Credit, which is sunsetting for homeowners. Last year, the credit was worth 30% of installation costs.

This year, it’s 26%. Next year it will be 21% and in 2022 it will be 10% and only available to businesses.

“We didn’t want to pass up the opportunity for a greater discount,” Boettger said.

The Solarize project model has been used in cities and neighborhoods across the Lower 48 and Alaska.

Solarize Anchorage began in 2018, with a campaign that installed solar in 33 homes in the Airport Heights neighborhood, according to the project’s website. In 2019, a second Solarize Anchorage project installed solar in 163 homes in four neighborhoods.

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Dozens of volunteers spent time Wednesday with members of the homeless and near-homeless community to connect, share a meal and help get their neighbors back on their feet.

Project Homeless Connect, which was hosted in the central peninsula at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex, is an annual nationwide event that consolidates into one central location all the local resources that someone experiencing homelessness might need. The project started in San Francisco in 2004, but has since made its way across Alaska, with Soldotna, Homer, Seward, Anchorage, Wasilla and Fairbanks all hosting events this year.

Many of the peninsula residents

who attended this year said they had struggled with homelessness for years, sometimes decades.

Regardless of the situation that put them there — whether it was escaping domestic violence, struggling with substance abuse or losing a job — each attendee had a story to tell and a plan for the future.

Scott Morris is a former landscaper and oil field worker who plans to head home to Tulsa, Oklahoma, after living in Alaska for the past 19 years. Morris said that he was shot in the chest in 1998, and while recovering from the incident he began abusing alcohol.

“Before then I was just a common weekend warrior,” Morris said. “I worked all week long cutting grass in Tulsa, and then when I was shot I became a drunk. Ronald the Drunk.”

Ronald is Morris’ first name, but

he said he has gone by Scott ever since he sobered up almost five years ago.

“Scott is who I really am. Ronald the Drunk hasn’t been around in about five years,” Morris said.

Morris, 51, said he became homeless after losing his job in the oil fields on the North Slope.

Morris currently has a place to stay, but recently decided to head back home to help care for his mother, who he said is suffering from Parkinson’s Disease.

Morris said that the biggest hurdles for him and others experiencing homelessness on the peninsula were the lack of public transportation and the absence of well-paying jobs.

Assembly takes on political speech

By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly joined more than 800 other municipalities and local governments in supporting an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that addresses how corporations spend money on elections.

At its Jan. 21 meeting, the assembly passed a resolution supporting and calling for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would address

recent judicial decisions, including the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Those recent court decisions have held that corporations and other artificial entities are “persons” under the United States Constitution with a constitutional right to “spend as much money as they wish on political speech, thereby greatly expanding the power of corporations and other artificial entities to influence elections and otherwise undermine the power of

Don’t wait ‘til March 17, when it is in black and white to find out the answer to your question,” Schiff told the Senate.

That publication date is now in doubt. The White House on Wednesday released a letter to Bolton’s attorney objecting to “significant amounts of classified information” in the manuscript, including at the top secret level. Bolton and his attorney have insisted the book does not contain any classified information.

revise his draft.

GOP senators are straining to balance the new revelations with pressure for quick acquittal. They have been sternly warned by party leaders that calling Bolton as a witness could entangle the trial in lengthy legal battles and delay Trump’s expected acquittal.

White House lawyers made exactly that point. Attorney Pat Philbin said in response to the Democrats’ first question, “This institution will effectively be paralyzed for months.” That was echoed by others.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell huddled privately with senators for a third consecutive day, acknowledging he didn’t yet have the votes to brush back Democratic demands for witnesses now that revelations from Bolton have roiled the trial.

Republican ideas for dealing with Bolton and his book were fizzling almost as soon as they arose — among them, “swapping” witnesses with Democrats or issuing a subpoena for Bolton’s manuscript.

Most Republican senators don’t want to extend the trial by calling Bolton, and most Democrats would rather avoid dragging the Bidens further into the impeachment proceedings.

The Bidens were a focus of defense arguments, though no evidence of wrongdoing has emerged.

Bolton writes in a forthcoming book that Trump told him he wanted to

withhold military aid from Ukraine until it helped with investigations into Biden.

That assertion, if true, would undercut a key defense argument and go to the heart of one of the two articles of impeachment against the president.

“I think Bolton probably has something to offer us,” said Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. She met privately Wednesday with McConnell.

Trump disagreed in a tweet Wednesday in which he complained that Bolton, after he left the White House, “goes out and IMMEDIATELY writes a nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security.”

The uncertainty about witnesses arises days before crucial votes on the issue. In a Senate split 53-47 in favor of Republicans, at least four GOP senators must join all Democrats to reach the 51 votes required to call witnesses, decide whom to call or do nearly anything else in the trial.

Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine tried to give fresh momentum to a one-for-one witness deal, saying it’s “very important that there be fairness, that each side be able to select a witness or two.” But Democrats dismissed those offers.

“It’s irrelevant. It’s a distraction,” said Schumer.

Collins, Murkowski and Utah Sen. Mitt Romney signaled an interest in calling Bolton or other witnesses, and questions and answers at times appeared directed at them.

Nancy Lynn Eastham

March 9, 1960 - January 22, 2020 Enduring lifelong Alaskan resident Nancy Lynn Eastham passed peacefully Wednesday January 22nd, 2020 of natural causes at her longtime residence in Soldotna, Alaska. She was 59.

Nancy was born March 9th, 1960 in Tillamook, Oregon to Clayton Adolph Helgeson and Elnora Helgeson. In 1962 she and the Helgeson family boarded a small plane to follow the Great Alaskan Dream.

Nancy grew up on a floating logging camp along Thorn Bay on Prince of Wales Island. She spent time fishing in the bay, playing basketball in school, helping care for the camp and living a true Alaskan pioneer lifestyle. After graduating high school, she moved back to Oregon to attend college. She met Terry Eastham in 1978 during her studies. They drove back to Alaska and were married on July 7th, 1979 in Petersburg, Alaska. They moved to Soldotna, Alaska where they built their home, business and raised their four children. Nancy sang and played drums in a band on the Kenai Peninsula and spent her spare time fishing as often as her free time allowed.

Nancy was a loving and God-fearing Christian with a big heart and great sense of humor. She enjoyed fishing, berry picking, baking, laughing, working as a Personal Care Assistant, and in recent months creating leatherworks for her grandchildren. She deeply enjoyed the past two years in her newly built home near her grandkids sharing her time building memories of gardening, baking, crafting and dinners with her family and friends. She rarely missed a potluck.

Nancy is preceded in death by her husband Terry Eastham, parents Clayton and Elnora Helgeson, and sister Judith Holmburg.

Nancy is survived by children, Rhonda Perry of Soldotna, AK.; Samuel Eastham of Soldotna, AK.; Mindy Lawrence of Soldotna, AK.; Molly Morgan of Anchorage, AK.; brother Randy Helgeson of Hillsboro, OR.; Nephew Buddy Conn of Franklin, NH. Grandchildren Dayna Eastham, Kayden Eastham, Kyle Eastham, Lillian Lawrence, Sarah Lawrence, and Fenris Ahrens.

Survey: Alaska’s Cook Inlet beluga whales continue decline

By Dan Joling Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — The population of endangered beluga whales in Alaska’s Cook Inlet continues to decline, federal marine mammal authorities announced Tuesday.

A biennial survey conducted by the fisheries arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimated the population of the white whales at 250 to 317, with a median estimate of 279.

“The population is estimated to be smaller and declining more quickly than previously thought,” NOAA Fisheries said in the announcement.

The survey is based on data collected by aerial surveys in summer 2018.

The survey also documented that a contraction has persisted of the summer range of belugas, the geographical area where they live. Since 2008, on average 81% of the total population occupied the Susitna Delta near the north end of the inlet in early June during the aerial survey period. Before that, about 50 percent did.

The 2009-18 range for belugas is estimated to be only 29% of the range observed in 1978-79, according to the survey.

The population estimate three years ago was about 340 whales. The agency in January 2017 released a Cook Inlet beluga whale recovery plan.

Cook Inlet belugas are one of five beluga populations in U.S. waters. Cook Inlet stretches 180 miles from Anchorage to the Gulf of Alaska. NOAA Fisheries three years ago said the carrying capacity for the area was 1,300 animals.

Beluga whales feed on salmon, smaller fish, crab, shrimp, squid and clams and in late summer can be spotted from highways

leading from Anchorage, chasing salmon schooled at stream mouths. The whales turn white as adults and can reach 15 feet long.

The Cook Inlet beluga population dwindled steadily through the 1980s and early ’90s. The decline accelerated between 1994 and 1998 when Alaska Natives harvested nearly half the remaining 650 whales in only four years.

Subsistence hunting ended in 1999.

Federal officials initially figured that controlling subsistence hunting would allow the population to recover. When it did not, they declared belugas endangered in 2008.

NOAA Fisheries officials in 2017 acknowledged that they did not know why the population has not recovered.

Among the identified potential threats to belugas are catastrophic events, such as natural disasters or oil spills; cumulative effects of multiple stressors; and noise.

Disease agents, such as blooms of harmful algae, loss of habitat, a reduction in prey and unauthorized killing also are threats.

Oil and natural gas extracted from Cook Inlet provides energy for Anchorage and other Southcentral Alaska locations.

Kristen Monsell, an attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, called the survey “heartbreaking news for a species already struggling to survive.” She said it’s more evidence why the Trump administration authorization of oil and gas activity in Cook Inlet, including seismic airgun blasting, is so reckless.

“These amazing whales already face an onslaught of noise pollution that’s threatening their existence. If we’re going to save them, our government has to stop handing out permits to harass the whales to oil and gas companies,” she said.

around the peninsula rights, but corporations should not be persons with unlimited ability to spend money in politics,” Rolf said. “Money should not be protected free speech.

Corporations are only interested in their bottom line agenda.”

Mary Jackson of the Kalifornsky area spoke in opposition to the resolution.

“In my opinion this is far outside the reach of local government and an unnecessary expenditure of time and resources for what is an extremely unlikely result,” Jackson said at the meeting.

Twenty state governments and more than 800 other municipalities and local governments have passed similar resolutions calling for an amendment to the Constitution addressing these issues. In Alaska, similar resolutions have passed in the city of Homer, the city and borough of Sitka and the Anchorage Assembly.

Copies of the resolutions were sent to Kenai Peninsula Borough lawmakers in Juneau, Alaska’s congressional delegation and to each city within the borough.

Many of the attendees brought their pets with them, and a veterinarian was there for most of the day to provide free health screenings. Kenai Peninsula Animal Lovers provided free bags of pet food and leashes.

Kenneth Russell was there with his dog, Ichabod, also known as “Icky.” Russell is a veteran and said that he was deployed to Tikrit and Baghdad at the beginning of the Iraq War in 2003. After returning home, Russell said that he struggled with suicidal ideation for years, and his declining mental health is how he found himself homeless. Russell got Icky almost two years ago and has since secured an apartment in Soldotna through the Veteran’s Administration’s HUDVASH housing voucher program. Russell attributes Icky as a big reason why he was able to get back on his feet and seek help.

“If I didn’t have him, I don’t think that I would have been able to mentally climb that hurdle and keep going,” Russell said. “I think that training an animal and keeping an animal, I don’t know, it gives you purpose. It gives you motivation. It gives you something to keep looking

Mulchatna caribou season ends early BETHEL — The Alaska Department of Fish and Game announced an early closure of the hunting season for the Mulchatna caribou herd.

The closure will take effect at 11:59 p.m. Friday, KYUKAM reported Tuesday.

The hunt was originally scheduled to close in March, but officials said the restriction is a conservation measure following the herd’s population drop to half the size it was three years ago.

The state reduced the number of caribou that hunters could kill from two to one in August. Federal managers followed suit and restricted caribou hunting kills to bulls on federal lands in western game units. Federal officials closed the hunt entirely in their jurisdiction in December.

The Lions Club was there handing out reading glasses.

Volunteers were also on-site providing free haircuts and massages. Donated clothes and hand-knitted hats were also in abundance for those who struggle to keep warm while withstanding the below-freezing winter weather.

One of the volunteers, Diane Fielden, said that simply seeing the look on someone’s face after getting their hair cut made her day.

“You watch this transformation come over them when they stand up out of the chair and their standing up straighter than they were when they sat down,” Fielden said. “It’s just emotional for me.”

Fielden said that she has volunteered in many capacities over the years, but that volunteering at Project Homeless Connect was one of the most rewarding experiences she’s had and recommended that everyone should try it.

“It’s just so needed, and they appreciate it so much,” Fielden said. “Every single person here is so appreciative and so patient, even when they have to wait 30, 40 minutes in line for a haircut.

Take the chance and volunteer, because you’re going to get a thousand percent more out of this than you will anything else you do today.”

What others say

Remembering Kobe K

obe Bryant was a unicorn — one of those people recognized worldwide by a first name — driven to succeed in sports, business and the arts — until his life shockingly ended Sunday.

Bryant, 41, and his daughter, Gianna (“Gigi”), 13, a budding basketball star, were among nine victims as his leased helicopter crashed in dense fog west of Los Angeles en route from Orange County to a game at his Mamba Academy, 80 miles away.

He was named after a steak served at a Japanese restaurant.

His father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, was a National Basketball Association journeyman. His mother’s brother, Chubby Cox, played briefly in the NBA. From age 6, he grew up in Italy while his father played in Europe. He learned Italian. He did a grade-school book report in Latin.

He returned home as a basketball prodigy at Lower Merion High near Philadelphia, escorting pop star Brandy to his prom.

He was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in the 13th round and traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. He then became the youngest ever to play in the NBA. In 20 years with the Lakers, Bryant scored 33,643 points — fourth all-time after being passed by LeBron James Saturday night. He won five titles, made 18 All-Star teams, won a regular-season MVP award and two in the NBA Finals. He scored 81 points in a game, 40 points or more in nine straight, and 50 or more in four straight.

He was brilliant and divisive. Coach Phil Jackson called him “uncoachable.” He feuded with co-star Shaquille O’Neal. After winning three titles together (2001-03), O’Neal was sent packing to Miami, winning a ring in 2006. Bryant teamed with Pau Gasol to win two titles in 2008-09.

After bowing out with a record 60 points in his final game, Bryant embellished his resume in business and the arts. He called on billionaires to improve his financial acumen and the likes of author J.K. Rowling to hone his storytelling.

Bryant Stibel & Co., a venture capital firm, had assets exceeding $2 billion with stakes in sports drink maker BodyArmor; Epic Games, which produces “Fortnite”; Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and Dell. Forbes put his net worth at $680 million in 2016.

“The Mamba Mentality: How I Play,” was a best-selling book.

His children’s series featured Legacy, a tenacious 12-year-old female tennis player in the magical kingdom of Nova: “For Legacy, it’s the only thing getting her through the long days taking care of the other kids at the orphanage.”

In 2018, he was the first pro athlete to win an Oscar, turning his poem, “Dear Basketball,” into an animated short film, which he wrote and narrated.

Yet the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences denied him membership because of a 2003 incident at a Colorado resort when he was accused of raping a 19-year-old employee.

His legal team and social media vilified her as a gold digger, although her family was wealthy.

Bryant eventually apologized, claiming he thought it was a consensual act. She dropped criminal charges. A civil suit was settled for a rumored $2.5 million.

Jackson wrote the allegations didn’t surprise him: “Kobe can be consumed with surprising anger, which he’s displayed toward me and his teammates.”

Then Bryant transformed himself.

On the court, he adopted the Black Mamba persona, after an assassin in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” movies. “I read up on the animal and said, ‘Wow, this is pretty awesome,’” Bryant said. “This is a perfect description of how I would want my game to be.”

Off the court, he saw himself as the angry Hulk changing into mild-mannered David Banner, devoted to his wife, Vanessa, and daughters, Natalia, 16, Gianna, 13, Bianka, 3, and Capri, 7 months.

In retirement, he didn’t attend many Lakers games, saying, “I have a life and I have my routine at home. It’s not that I don’t want to go, but I’d rather be giving B.B. a shower and sing Barney songs to her. I played 20 years and I missed those moments before.”

As YouTube videos attest, Gigi (aka “Mambacita”), a prodigy with UConn aspirations, emulated dad on the court. “It’s a trip to see her move and some of the expressions she makes,” Bryant said. “It’s a trip how genetics work.”

Other lives lost Sunday also were filled with promise or achievement: Gigi’s teammate Alyssa Altobelli and parents, Keri and John, a legendary junior college baseball coach with five state titles and more than 700 wins; teammate Payton Chester and her mother, Sarah; Christina Mauser, an assistant coach and mother of three. Pilot Ara Zobayan had ferried Bryant constantly above the traffic-congested L.A. area.

So many people tragically taken before their time, including one constantly evolving unicorn destined for the basketball Hall of Fame this year with so many other gifts waiting to be unwrapped.

Spread the load, save the state’s budget

ver since the price of oil crashed in 2014, we have been grappling with how to pay for all of the things we want. We don’t want budget cuts. We don’t want taxes. And we want our full Permanent Fund dividend. That’s a tall order.

Most Alaskans are willing to give on one of those items, but there doesn’t seem to be a consensus around which one. Juneauites are OK with taxes or smaller PFDs. Rural Alaskans seem to prefer taxes while getting the full PFD and no budget cuts. The Mat-Su population begs for budget cuts and despises the idea of taxation. Everyone else seems to be split on the issue.

The budget-cut-only solution attempted by the governor last year expended a huge amount of political capital, divided Alaskans into warring factions, prompted a recall effort, devolved the legislative process something resembling the national theater, and ultimately resulted in … well, not much. So, budget cuts probably aren’t going to solve the state’s long-term financial issues.

Now there’s an attempt to have the oil companies solve our financial problems. But, even if we choose to dramatically increase oil taxes, it will only be a temporary solution. As oil production continues to decline, taxes and royalties will decline under any tax system. And, as revenues fall while the budget grows, we will be right back in the same situation within just a few short years.

Rather than fight about how to treat the symptoms, I am hopeful that we can address the underlying condition

that is plaguing Alaska. And I believe we can do it without amputating the university, without cutting social support programs, and without injecting a lethal dose of austerity into the education system. It wouldn’t be easy, but there is a way forward that avoids budget cuts, distributes a realistic PFD, and pushes the tax debate far into the future. It boils down to four actions.

First, restrict spending growth for 10 years. A decade of flat-funding allows the departments to find efficiencies and to plan for a known funding level.

While losing money to inflation each year would be hard, the perpetual pink-slips could be avoided, and a proactive plan could be put in place.

Second, it is well established that the new POMV structure and the old PFD formula don’t work together. They are out of sync, use different smoothing mechanisms, treat inflation differently, and can’t live in harmony. We can still use the same premise within the old PFD law — distribute half the earnings to the people. But, since it is clear that the POMV is here to stay, we need to update the definition of available income that the PFD formula uses. As soon as we do, a third of the perceived budget problems go away.

Third, we need to rearrange our balance sheet. According to the state’s most recent audited financial statement, Alaska held $86 billion of assets at the end of FY18. That compares to $12 billion of liabilities — mostly unfunded pension obligations and some long-term debts. The result is a net position of $74 billion.

In the current budget request, there

are $480 million of payments on our liabilities. By simply moving some of our money from various savings accounts to the retirement trust, and by paying off some of our debts, we could solve another third of the budget problem without reducing any services.

That leaves us with about $500 million left to deal with this coming year and the problem will persist for a few more. Then things should improve as some new major oil fields come online. There are countless ways to close that gap. For one, we could just use savings to get through the next few years. But, that’s not really a solution as much as a band-aid. Especially if that new revenue doesn’t show up.

So, we should look elsewhere. But we don’t need radical reform. A few small changes to oil taxes, a little bit of costshifting to municipalities (or a small statewide tax), and a minor change to petroleum property taxes can get us the rest of the way.

In this scenario, the pain is spread across all points of view. The budget is cut by inflation, the PFD is reduced, local governments chip in, personal taxes go up a bit, and oil companies pay a little more. But, if everyone is willing to give a little, our budget problems are incredibly easy to solve.

Misinformation pledge gains a supporter in presidential race

By Amanda Seitz Associated Press

CHICAGO — Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren joined former Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday in a presidential campaign pledge to avoid the use of fake news, manipulated images or online misinformation.

The declaration signals that viral misinformation is becoming a growing concern for the campaigns as the Democratic primary season nears. Both Biden and Warren have been victims of online viral smear campaigns built on trending hashtags, heavily edited video and memes.

“We need more candidates stepping in and speaking against disinformation,” said Kanishk Karan, a misinformation researcher at the Atlantic Council, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. “The discussion, by and large, is coming from the people who have experienced this sort of disinformation effort against their candidacy – and that’s an important point: the ones who’ve experienced this sort of attack against their reputation are standing up for it.”

Earlier this month, for example, social media users flooded Twitter with snake images and the term #NeverWarren to attack the candidate during a spat with fellow Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders.

In some cases, hashtags were used to spread misinformation, with Twitter users accusing her campaign of fabricating a mean-spirited text message from a Sanders campaign volunteer.

His campaign later confirmed to The Associated Press that the text was sent by a rogue Sanders volunteer, who was booted from the effort.

Meanwhile, a video of Biden was selectively edited just this month and used on social media to wrongly claim he made racist remarks. He has also been targeted with misinformation in recent months, with many Republicans falsely claiming that he pressured Ukraine to fire a top prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, the energy company his son worked for at the time.

In fact, the investigation was dormant when Biden pressed for the firing.

Biden signed a pledge last year that he would not use doctored images and videos or fabricated information during the campaign.

Warren’s pledge released Wednesday is part of a regulation proposal she promised to implement if elected president. Warren has long been a critic of the tech companies that operate online platforms sometimes used to spread misinformation and once called for breaking up tech giants like Facebook and Google.

Her plan to fight digital disinformation appears to be the first of its kind

among the presidential candidates.

President Donald Trump, who has been reluctant to acknowledge that Russia used online disinformation campaigns in an attempt to influence U.S. voters during the 2016 election, has been criticized for not safeguarding the presidential race from such attacks again this year.

Warren’s plan calls on the tech companies to label propaganda that was written or produced by statefunded media outlets or the government and to ban accounts that put out false information about voting rules, times and locations.

In a statement, Facebook said it agrees with Warren on the importance of combating disinformation and believes “there needs to be a more substantive partnership between government private industry to better secure our elections.”

One of Warren’s ideas quickly became a casualty of online misinformation Wednesday. Some Twitter users inaccurately suggested she plans to criminalize disinformation all together, calling it a violation of free speech rights.

Her plan is actually more specific, saying that she would push for civil and criminal penalties only for people who “knowingly” disseminate information that has the “explicit purpose of undermining the basic right to vote.”

Health experts: Human-to-human spread of virus worrying

By KEN MORITSUGU Associated Press

BEIJING — World health officials expressed “great concern” Wednesday that a dangerous new virus is starting to spread between people outside of China, a troubling development as China and the world frantically work to contain the outbreak. For a second day, the number of infections grew dramatically.

The new virus has now infected more people in China than were sickened there during the 2002-2003 SARS outbreak. On Wednesday, the number of cases jumped to 5,974, surpassing the 5,327 people diagnosed with SARS. The death toll, which rose to 170 on Wednesday, is still less than half the number who died in China from SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. Scientists say there are many questions to be answered about the new virus, including just how easily it spreads and how severe it is.

In a report published Wednes day, Chines e researchers suggested that person-to-person spread among close contacts occurred as early as midDecember. Based on the first 425 confirmed cases, the researchers estimate that each infection led to 2.2 others on average. That’s a bit more than ordinary flu but far less than some other respiratory diseases such as whooping cough and tuberculosis.

The rate for SARS, a cousin to this new virus, was estimated

to be 3.

“Considerable efforts” will be needed to control the spread if this ratio holds up elsewhere, researchers wrote in the report, published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

More than half of the cases in which symptoms began before Jan. 1 were tied to a seafood market, but only 8% of cases after that have been, researchers found. They reported the average incubation period was five days.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization’s emergencies chief said the few cases of human-to-human spread of the virus outside China — in Japan, Germany, Canada and Vietnam — were

of “great concern” and were part of the reason the U.N. health agency’s directorgeneral was reconvening a committee of experts on Thursday to assess whether the outbreak should be declared a global emergency.

Dr. Michael Ryan spoke at a news conference in Geneva after returning from a trip to Beijing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other senior government leaders.

He said China was taking “extraordinary measures in the face of an extraordinary challenge” posed by the outbreak.

To date, about 99% of the nearly 6,000 cases are in China. Ryan estimated the death rate of the new virus

at 2%, but said the figure was very preliminary. With fluctuating numbers of cases and deaths, scientists are only able to produce a rough estimate of the fatality rate and it’s likely many milder cases of the virus are being missed.

In comparison, the SARS virus killed about 10% of people who caught it. The new virus is from the coronavirus family, which includes those that can cause the common cold as well as more serious illnesses such as SARS and MERS. Ryan noted there were several aspects of the new virus outbreak that are extremely worrying, citing the recent rapid spike in cases in China. He said that

Authorities find longest Southwest border smuggling tunnel

By ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — U.S. authorities on Wednesday announced the discovery of the longest smuggling tunnel ever found on the Southwest border, stretching more than three-quarters of a mile from an industrial site in Tijuana, Mexico, to the San Diego area.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it featured an extensive rail/cart system, forced air ventilation, high voltage electrical cables and panels, an elevator at the tunnel entrance, and a complex drainage system.

“This one blows past (the second-longest),” said Lance LeNoir, a Border Patrol operations supervisor. “We never really thought they had the moxie to go that far. They continue to surprise me.”

The tunnel raised questions about the effectiveness of President Donald Trump’s

border wall, which stretches several feet underground in the area. The tunnel was found about 70 feet underground, well below the wall.

Following the discovery in August, Mexican law enforcement identified the entrance and members of the San Diego Tunnel Task Force began mapping the tunnel that extends a total of 4,309 feet. The next longest tunnel in the U.S. was discovered in San Diego in 2014. It was 2,966 feet long.

The newly discovered tunnel is about 5.5 feet tall and 2 feet wide and runs at an average depth of 70 feet below the surface, officials said.

Agents discovered several hundred sandbags blocking a suspected former exit of the tunnel in the Otay Mesa warehouse district within the U.S. While there were no arrests, drug seizures or confirmed exit point in the United States, the length

— more than 14 football fields — stunned authorities.

It went under several warehouses in the Otay Mesa area, where sophisticated tunnels have typically ended, and extended into open fields.

U.S. authorities say they are confident that the tunnel exited in San Diego at one time, based on its trajectory.

LeNoir, a veteran on a multiagency task force of tunnel investigators known as “tunnel rats,” said he made his way through about 50 feet of sugar sacks blocking the tunnel but couldn’t go any farther.

An incomplete offshoot of the tunnel that extended more than 3,500 feet suggested to authorities that smugglers had plugged an initial exit point and were building another.

The suspected previous exit “became unsustainable for whatever reason, so they built a spur,” Border Patrol

spokesman Jeff Stephenson said.

By federal law, U.S. authorities must fill the U.S. side of tunnels with concrete after they are discovered.

“The sophistication and length of this particular tunnel demonstrates the time-consuming efforts transnational criminal organizations will undertake to facilitate cross-border smuggling,” said Cardell T. Morant, acting special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in San Diego.

Authorities have found 15 sophisticated tunnels on California’s border with Mexico since 2006, with hallmarks including lighting, ventilation, railway tracks and hydraulic lifts.

The tunnels are concentrated in an area where clay-like soil is conducive to digging and industrial warehouses provide cover.

Israel postpones West Bank annexation move

By JOSEPH KRAUSS Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Israel has postponed a move to annex large parts of the West Bank, a government minister said Wednesday, a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to quickly act on the Trump administration’s Mideast plan despite fierce Palestinian opposition.

Netanyahu had said the Cabinet would vote Sunday on extending Israeli sovereignty to dozens of Jewish settlements as well as the Jordan Valley, a move that risks provoking a harsh backlash from the Palestinians and the international community.

But he appears to have put annexation on hold to explore the legal ramifications and to coordinate it with the United States.

Tourism Minister Yariv Levin told Israel Radio that

a Cabinet vote on annexing territories on Sunday was not technically feasible because of various preparations, including the need to consult Israel’s attorney general. Israel has not had a permanent government in a year, following two inconclusive elections, and it’s unclear if a caretaker government can embark on such a move.

David Friedman, the American ambassador to Israel, told reporters that a joint U.S.Israeli committee would need to ensure that the extension of Israeli sovereignty matches up with a “conceptual map” released by the administration showing the borders of a future Palestinian state.

“It is a process that does require some effort, some understanding, some calibration,” he said. “I’m not going to speculate how long that will take. The president did use the word ‘immediately.’”

The Palestinians angrily rejected the Trump plan, which would allow Israel to annex all its settlements in the West Bank while giving the Palestinians limited self-rule over the Gaza Strip, chunks of the West Bank and other farflung areas linked together by roads, bridges and tunnels. It also grants Israel virtually all of east Jerusalem, including the Old City and holy sites.

The Palestinians view the settlements in the West Bank and annexed east Jerusalem — territories seized by Israel in the 1967 war — as a major obstacle to peace. That position is held by much of the international community, which views the settlements as illegal.

Levin, a senior member of Netanyahu’s hawkish Likud party, appeared to acknowledge that almost none of the Palestinians’ demands are met in the Trump plan.

He said the Palestinian state it envisions is “roughly the same Palestinian Authority that exists today, with authority to manage civil affairs,” but lacking “substantive powers” like border control or a military.

The U.S. initiative appears unlikely to lead to a negotiated solution to the decadesold conflict, but offered a boost to both Trump and Netanyahu, who are each campaigning for re-election under a cloud of allegations of wrongdoing.

Netanyahu was formally indicted on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust hours before the Trump initiative was announced, when he withdrew a request for immunity that was likely to be rejected by Israel’s parliament.

That move cleared the way for Netanyahu to become the first sitting Israeli prime minister to face a criminal trial.

while scientists believe the outbreak was sparked by an animal virus, it’s unclear if there are other factors driving the epidemic.

“Without understanding that, it’s very hard to put into context the current transmission dynamics,” he said.

Meanwhile, countries began evacuating their citizens from the Chinese city hardest-hit by the virus. Chartered planes carrying about 200 evacuees each arrived in Japan and the United States as other countries planned similar evacuations from the city of Wuhan, which authorities have shut down to try to contain the virus.

The U.S. plane arrived in California after a refueling stop in Alaska. All 195 passengers, who included diplomats from the U.S. Consulate in Wuhan, passed health screenings in China and Anchorage, and were to undergo three days of monitoring at a Southern California military base to ensure they show no signs of the illness.

“The whole plane erupted into cheers when the crew welcomed them back to the United States,” Dr. Anne Zink, Alaska’s chief medical officer, told reporters in Anchorage.

Four passengers on the evacuation flight to Japan had coughs and fevers, and two were diagnosed with pneumonia. It wasn’t clear whether they were infected with the new virus, which first appeared in Wuhan in December. Its symptoms, including cough and fever and in severe cases pneumonia, are similar to many other

illnesses.

Takeo Aoyama, an employee at Nippon Steel Corp.’s subsidiary in Wuhan, told reporters he was relieved to return home.

“We were feeling increasingly uneasy as the situation developed so rapidly and we were still in the city,” Aoyama said, his voice muffled by a white surgical mask.

The first cases in the Middle East were confirmed Wednesday, a family of four from Wuhan that was visiting the United Arab Emirates. Airlines around the world announced they were cutting flights to China, and Hong Kong was suspending rail travel to and from the mainland at midnight.

The number of cases in China rose to 1,459 from the previous day, a smaller increase than the 1,771 new cases reported Tuesday. Australia, Finland and Singapore were among those reporting new cases, as the number outside China topped 70. The vast majority are people who came from Wuhan.

Australia, New Zealand and Britain were among the latest countries to announce they are planning evacuations.

British health secretary Matt Hancock tweeted that “anyone who returns from Wuhan will be safely isolated for 14 days, with all necessary medical attention.” The measures are a step up from those during the devastating 2014-16 Ebola outbreak, when returning travelers from West Africa were asked to monitor themselves for symptoms.

In brief

NASA shutting down space telescope, infrared eyes to cosmos CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA is pulling the plug on one of its great observatories — the Spitzer Space Telescope — after 16 years of scanning the universe with infrared eyes.

The end comes Thursday when ground controllers put the aging spacecraft into permanent hibernation.

For years, Spitzer peered through dusty clouds at untold stars and galaxies, uncovered a huge, nearly invisible ring around Saturn, and helped discover seven Earth-size planets around a nearby star.

Spitzer’s last observation was Wednesday. Altogether, Spitzer observed 800,000 celestial targets and churned out more than 36 million raw images as part of the $1.4 billion mission.

An estimated 4,000 scientists around the world took part in the observations and published nearly 9,000 studies, according to NASA. “You have to be proud … when you look back and say, ‘Look at the team that’s operating Spitzer, look at the team that’s contributing to having all of this great science,’ ” said project manager Joseph Hunt.

Designed to last just 2 1/2 to five years, the telescope got increasingly difficult to operate as it drifted farther behind Earth, NASA said. It currently trails Earth by 165 million miles, while orbiting the sun.

Spitzer will continue to fall even farther behind Earth, posing no threat to another spacecraft or anything else, officials said.

Macron: Turkey is sending warships, mercenaries to Libya PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday accused Turkey of breaching an agreement to halt foreign interference in Libya by sending warships and mercenaries to the North African country.

Following a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Macron also described a maritime deal between Turkey and Libya’s U.N.-backed government as a “void document” with no legal or political standing.

“These past few days we have seen Turkish warships accompanied by Syrian mercenaries arrive on Libyan soil. This is a serious and explicit infringement of what was agreed upon in Berlin,” Macron said, referring to an international summit in the German capital earlier this month.

Earlier Wednesday, the Turkish military said four frigates and a refuelling vessel were in the central Mediterranean, outside Libya’s territorial waters, to support NATO operations in the region while also conducting activities to ensure the security of maritime trade routes.

Turkey supports the weak U.N.-recognized administration in the capital of Tripoli led by Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj, while France backs a rival government in the east aligned with the self-styled Libyan Arab Armed Forces led by Gen. Khalifa Hifter.

Macron dismissed a maritime deal between Turkey and Sarraj’s government last year that would give Turkey and Libya access to an economic zone despite the objections of Greece, Egypt and Cyprus, which lie between the two geographically.

“France supports Greece and Cyprus with regards to the sovereignty in their maritime zones and, along with our European partners, condemns Turkey’s intrusions and provocations,” Macron said.

“I must reiterate that the prerequisite for any political solution in Libya is the cancellation of this document,” he added.

Turkey accused Macron of making “unrealistic claims” against Ankara and holding France responsible for the crisis in Libya.

Homer artist leaves legacy behind

By Michael Armstrong Homer News

H

ailed as one of the finest Alaska artists of his generation, Ron Senungetuk, 86, died last week on Jan. 21 at his Homer home with family present.

His wife, Turid Senungetuk, said he died of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a rare neurological disorder.

Artists, professors and leaders of art organizations praised Senungetuk not only for his work in wood and metal, but for his advocacy of treating indigenous art as fine art.

“Ron shaped the way we support and celebrate Alaska’s culture in a complex, nuanced way that has been game changing,” wrote Bunnell Street Arts Center Artistic Director Asia Freeman in an email.

Da-ka-xeen Mehner, associate professor of Native art and the current director of the Native Art Center that Senungetuk founded at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, called him “the grandfather of contemporary Native art in Alaska.”

In a video filmmaker Michael Walsh made about Senungetuk on the occasion of his 2014 Governor’s Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts & Humanities, Fairbanks artist Kesler Woodward said of Senungetuk, “It is almost impossible to overstate his importance. He is almost certainly the most widely exhibited Alaskan artist — really, the dean of all Alaska artists.”

Born in 1933, in Wales, Alaska, Senungetuk grew up in a traditional Inupiat culture. In testimony before the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1969, he said that at age 15 when he went to boarding school at Mt. Edgecumbe in Sitka, he spoke little English.

“I really went through cultural torment,” Senungetuk said then. “…

It was a social shock but it probably taught me to be quite observant.”

In a 2008 interview with the Homer News, Senungetuk said in Wales he had learned to carve ivory as part of his tradition. “At Edgecumbe I kind of continued this kind of thing, a little bit of ivory and wood as a new material,” he said.

There he caught the attention of George Fedoroff, an artist and teacher of wood and ivory carving.

Ron Senungetuk’s “Migration” is part of the Pratt Museum’s permanent collection. It was purchased in 2008 by the Rasmuson Foundation for the museum. He writes: “Migration is an abstraction of a bearded seal in full-scale size. Minimal grooves on the wood surface separate stained colors into common shapes that form collectively to an essence of seals.”

what’s happening now.”

In 2010, Senungetuk curated “Inspirations: An Alaska Native Art Exhibition” at the Pratt Museum that showed the best of artists who happened to be Native.

“I wanted to Native art to become better,” Senungetuk told the Homer News in an August 2010, article about the exhibit. “…We are equals but never recognized. I want to say to anybody, ‘We’re as good as you.’”

Senungetuk’s work “honored living cultures and looked extremely contemporary,” Freeman wrote. “…

He challenged and expanded ideas of ‘traditional Native art’ and in the process he kept culture alive and poured new life into it, and inspired many others to do that too.”

Woodward said Senungetuk was “a mentor to generations of Alaska Native artists and non-Native artists, and an example for all of us of how you can be a great teacher and a great mentor, a great spokesperson for the arts, but also be a great artist, who can be recognized not just on the local, regional, and statewide level, but on the national and international level as he has been.”

Senungetuk also helped found the Alaska State Council on the Arts. He designed its simple logo of two caribou, one standing and one sitting down.

“Ron’s influence as a highly esteemed artist and respected cultural leader, friend and founding member of the Alaska State Council on the Arts is a legacy that we feel every day in our work throughout the state,” Andrea Noble, executive director of the Alaska State Council on the Arts, Anchorage, wrote in an

email. “The continuation of ASCA through tough times is a testament to Ron’s vision, knowledge and his lifetime commitment to cultural infrastructure based on strength of relationships, networks and collaboration. Leaders like Ron and his family who have labored with love to pave the way for others are the true champions of Alaska’s art and culture.”

Exhibited widely, Senungetuk’s work is part of the permanent collection at the Pratt Museum, the Anchorage Museum of Art, the Museum of the North in Fairbanks, and numerous 1%-for-art installations — creative works in state facilities where 1% of the construction cost goes to art. He received the Governor’s Award for the Arts in 1979 and the Governor’s Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts and Humanities in 2014. The Rasumuson Foundation gave him a Distinguished Artist grant in 2008.

When he heard the news about Senungetuk dying last week, Mehner said he told his students at the Alaska Native Art Center, “Everybody in this class is part of his legacy by taking the class. Without his vision to create the center, none of us would be here. You are all part of his legacy now.”

Senungetuk is survived by wife, Turid; his daughter, Heidi, of Anchorage; his son, Chris, of San Diego, California; and his grandsons, Harley of Eagle River and Xander of San Diego. Turid Senungetuk said there will be a memorial gathering to be held at a later date.

Poet’s

Corner Eleven Miles I have a breathtakingly beautiful drive home all the way, this driveway can take my breath away.

I see the clear, cold sky with sun touching the hoarfrost branches so high.

One side of the road, evergreens sparkle and shine; While on the other side birch, alder and aspen hang low with frost that looks like diamonds.

I’m liable to see spruce hens, rabbits, eagles, ravens, lynx, caribou, moose or bear.

All at home in Alaska’s winter wonderland, nice to catch them unaware.

The road has straight stretches, and aggressive corners which deem my respect; regardless, of season or amount of light it can be dangerous and cause quite a fright.

At mile nine, I consistently see a mated pair of Bald Eagles, these majestic birds are strikingly regal.

Mile ten is the dump, it’s fun to park and watch ravens as they stride and hop, all the while getting plump.

Mile eleven, I’m home at last thank you God, for all the sights, I had a blast.

TRAIL BLAZERS 125, ROCKETS 112 PORTLAND, Ore. — Damian Lillard had 36 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his first career triple-double, and Portland beat Houston to spoil James Harden’s return after a twogame absence.

Lillard scored 30-plus points for his sixth straight game, a franchise record.

Lakers hold 1st practice after tragedy EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers ended practice with a few somber, almost plaintive laughs. As they left the court, they all passed under the oversized 8 and 24 outlined in white on the black wall above the door to their locker room.

Anthony Davis and several other Lakers paused and looked up at Kobe Bryant’s two retired numbers for a moment before they moved forward.

The Lakers are still grieving and mourning Bryant’s death Sunday in a helicopter crash along with his daughter, Gianna, and seven others. Los Angeles’ players and coaches returned to work Wednesday at their training complex with a determination to keep Bryant and the victims in their thoughts while getting on with the business of basketball and life.

“We want to represent what Kobe was about, more than anything,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. “We’ve always wanted to make him proud, and that’s not going to be any different now.”

Vogel, who joined the Lakers eight months ago, was the only person to speak to the

media after the workout. The loss apparently was still too raw for the players, including superstars LeBron James and Davis, who played in the Olympics with Bryant.

Although Bryant retired in 2016, he is still enormously important to his franchise and his sport. Ever since the Lakers drafted the 17-year-old guard from suburban Philadelphia in 1996, Bryant had been a face of this franchise and a basketball-mad city while he became a five-time NBA champion and his team’s career leader in points and games played.

The current Lakers are still grappling with the loss while they prepare for their next game Friday night at Staples Center against Portland.

“We’ve become a family in a very short time,” Vogel said of the Lakers’ roster, which features only one player who suited up with Bryant. “It’s something that we talk about in the NBA with your teams, but this group in particular has really grown to love each other very rapidly, and we understand the importance and the opportunity we have this year.

This has just brought us closer together.”

Homer JV girls cagers topple Wolverines Staff report The visiting Homer junior varsity basketball team defeated Ninilchik 30-19 on Wednesday in nonconference action.

The Mariners led 4-3 after the first quarter and 10-5 at halftime. Entering the third quarter, the margin had grown to 20-9.

Kappa Reutov had eight

points to pace Homer JV. For Ninilchik, Jade Robuck had six, Madi Cooper had five, Autumn Calabrese had four and Rian Ofstad added two.

The Ninilchik and Nanwalek boys also were scheduled to play Wednesday, but that game did not happen because Nanwalek could not travel due to weather.

Thiem upsets Nadal in quarters

By Howard Fendrich AP Tennis Writer

MELBOURNE, Australia — Outplayed at his own brand of physical tennis for much of the match, Rafael Nadal finally claimed a set to try to start a comeback against Dominic Thiem.

Nadal marked the moment by hopping in a crouch at the baseline and vigorously pumping his right arm four times.

Soon, though, he was back in trouble. And eventually, his bid to tie Roger Federer’s record of 20 Grand Slam titles by winning the Australian Open was over with a quarterfinal loss Wednesday to Thiem — a younger version of Nadal himself.

Thiem’s 7-6 (3), 7-6 (4), 4-6, 7-6 (6) victory over the top-seeded Nadal lasted 4 hours, 10 minutes because of so many lengthy, electrifying points. One rather memorable one featured Thiem stumbling onto his backside before popping up and keeping the ball in play until Nadal made a mistake.

“He’s playing with a lot of energy ... (and) determination. So well done for him,”

Nadal said. “I honestly didn’t play a bad match.”

Thiem reached his fifth major semifinal but first somewhere other than at the French Open, the place that is Nadal’s domain.

Of more significance: The outcome ended Nadal’s career-best streak of making at least the semifinals at seven consecutive Grand Slam tournaments, a span during which he earned three trophies.

“If you want to have a chance against him, one of the all-time greats, everything needs to work in your game,” the fifth-seeded Thiem said.

The last time Nadal didn’t get to the final four at a major?

Also at the Australian Open, where he also went out in the quarterfinals two years ago before finishing as the runnerup to Novak Djokovic in 2019.

That was Nadal’s fourth defeat in a final at Melbourne Park since he won his lone title at the place in 2009. He’s won two at Wimbledon, four at the U.S. Open and 12 at the French Open.

Asked what he wished he’d done differently against Thiem, Nadal replied: “Win

any tiebreak.”

Thiem had been 0-5 against Nadal at the majors, including losses in the final at Roland Garros each of the past two years.

But this one was different.

The defining statistic: Thiem won exactly twice as many points that featured nine or more shots, 24-12.

“Just an unbelievable match. Like, epic,” Thiem said. “A very high level from both of us.”

Thiem managed to hang in there with Nadal on physical baseline exchanges, trading groundstroke for groundstroke and picking the proper spots to move forward.

Or to describe it another way: Thiem was out-Nadaling Nadal, the ultimate grinder who never met a point that was too long or too grueling.

“Even from difficult positions,” Nadal said, praising Thiem’s quickness and power, “he was able to produce amazing shots.”

Now Thiem will play No. 7 Alexander Zverev on Friday for a berth in the title match.

Zverev reached his first major semifinal anywhere by overcoming a terrible

start Wednesday and putting together a 1-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 victory over three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka.

So instead of Nadal, 33, against Wawrinka, 34, it’ll be Zverev, 22, against Thiem, 26, a couple of members of the new generation trying to collect a breakthrough Slam title.

“I think it’s the first time I am playing a Grand Slam semifinal and I am the older player,” Thiem said with a chuckle.

The first two sets Wednesday sets were remarkably similar: Nadal would go up by a break, then Thiem would break back and take it in a tiebreaker. The first lasted 67 minutes, the second 69.

Nadal was flustered by a warning from chair umpire Aurelie Tourte for a time violation, citing him for taking more than the allotted 25 seconds before serving. Nadal termed the call “amazing,” complaining that the previous point was comprised of an exhausting 19 shots and so the clock shouldn’t have started when it did (something which is at the chair umpire’s discretion).

It’s soon to be Patrick Mahomes’ world W

e’ve finally made it to the end of the 2020 NFL road.

This season, as much as any I can remember, was filled with wild story lines, crazy outcomes and good football.

Ex-Steelers, Raiders and Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown has played for more teams in the last year than Tom Brady has in his entire career! Brown’s repeated absurdities, while sometimes entertaining from afar, are actually troubling.

The NFL has a mental health problem on its hands, whether fair or not, and veteran players seemingly losing control of their faculties in real time, while on active NFL rosters, is not a great image for the league.

The league has come a long way

on other fronts. Four of the final eight quarterbacks playing this season were African Americans.

Just 20 short years ago that statistical nugget was a complete fantasy.

Being a black quarterback is no longer seen as out of the ordinary.

That’s progress. NFL coaching staffs should take note.

The NFL is a quarterbackdriven league and football fans should be thrilled that so many young passers have stepped to the forefront of the league’s marketing machine.

Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers can’t play forever after all. With young stars like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson joining established players like Russell Wilson and Mitchell Trubisky, the league

Nolan Rose

Pigskin Pick ‘em is in wonderful shape.

That was a joke. Trubisky is actually awful and the Bears are doomed.

49ers vs CHIEFS -1.5 What an exciting matchup for this year’s Super Bowl. The 49ers had the best defense in the NFL all season long. Frisco’s pass rush, led by Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, and DeForest Buckner, has terrified opposing QBs for over 16 weeks.

Ex-Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, one of my all-time favorite players, has led a strong 49ers

secondary. This San Francisco defense is legitimately terrifying.

The Niners offense does their share of the work as well. Quaterback Jimmy Garappolo is wildly overrated but he’s made to look adequate by a strong supporting cast.

Without doing much research, I feel confident in saying this game is a top three tight end matchup in Super Bowl history. The 49ers’ George Kittle is a beast! It will be interesting to see if Kansas City’s Travis Kelce can match or exceed Kittle’s production.

Speaking of Kansas City. One name to remember, in case it was possible to forget, Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes is next level.

He’s like the old John Elway Tecmo Bowl video game where you

could just run go routes and bomb away with Elway for touchdowns every single play.

Mahomes is like a video game and his favorite target is the 99-speed rated Tyreek Hill. It’s not fair. The Chiefs have absolute burners all over the field and if there is one thing that gives the great Richard Sherman trouble, it’s speed guys.

It’s a tough game to pick. I think the 49ers have the better overall team, they were the best team, in the best division, within the best conference all season.

That counts for something, but it just feels like the NFL torch is getting passed from the Brady and Brees to Patrick Mahomes. It’s Mahomes league now.

Chiefs win 35-31.

Kittle, Kelce are life of Super Bowl party MIAMI (AP) — They’ve got swagger, style and lots and lots of catches.

Kansas City’s Travis Kelce and San Francisco’s George Kittle are talkative tight ends at this year’s Super Bowl and among the most entertaining personalities in the NFL — Rob Gronkowski-types who could play big roles in who wins the big game Sunday.

“I just love to live life, man,” Kelce said with a big smile. “And I like to enjoy happiness along the way.”

That comes from a guy whose silly, entertaining, ridiculous, hilarious — or, all of the above — dances to celebrate his touchdowns instantly go viral moments after he gets into the end zone.

The 6-foot-5, 260-pound Kelce has “Hit the Quan” and done “The Chicken Head” and everything in between. He’s the life of a football party that has moved to the NFL’s biggest stage — and with a worldwide audience watching.

“I just think any time he gets the ball in the end zone, I ask him all the time, ‘How do you come up with these dances, man? Just how do you come up with all this stuff?’” said Chiefs offensive tackle Eric Fisher, who was fined

$14,037 for dumping two beers on himself while celebrating a touchdown in Kansas City’s divisional round win over Houston.

“I don’t know, man,” Fisher added. “I think his touchdown celebrations are one of a kind and will go down in history.”

Kelce is also doing a pretty good job of getting himself into the record books with his play.

He holds the NFL record for the most seasons by a tight end with 1,000 or more yards receiving with four, and counting. Kelce is a favorite target of Patrick Mahomes and established himself as possibly the best all-around tight end in the game.

“Kelce’s a beast,” Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill said. “He’s special. I’ve never seen a guy that size to have that much ability or to carry that kind of swagger. He’s definitely a leader.”

The 49ers say the same of the playmaking Kittle, who was selected a first-team All-Pro this season. The third-year tight end has had 85 catches or more and 1,000 yards receiving in each of his past two years.

Kittle is a fun-loving character whose approach to the game mimics that of a playful professional wrestler. After all, his nickname is

“Stone Cold Kittle” — after “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.

He even uses a gesture to celebrate first downs that he borrowed from Pentagón Jr., a Mexican wrestler. He makes a circle with his thumb and forefinger to form a “0” and then flicks his wrist so his other fingers form an “M” for Pentagón Jr.’s catch phrase: “Cero miedo,” which means, “zero fear.”

“I think we’re all a little different, but he’s unique and you see it on the field,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “He has a personality where he goes 100 mph in whatever he does. That’s probably why he’s going to have a WWE career after this. What’s cool is that’s kind of who he is and then you see it on the field.

That’s why whether he does perfect or not, he always makes plays with his attitude when the ball is in his hands.”

That all started when Kittle was in college at Iowa, where then-tight ends coach Levar Woods gave him homework. The assignment: Watch videos of the best players at the position and take anything he can use to add to his game.

Kittle couldn’t stop looking at film of Kelce,

filling his iPad with film of the Chiefs star.

Every play, every game.

“Whether it’s what he does in the red zone, how he runs his routes, his mindset every time he steps on the football field. I think the thing that really kind of stands out the most is you see his personality when he plays and how much fun he has,” Kittle said. “Very similar to Gronk and his personality, the way it shows. I think they just kind of opened the door for tight ends like me to be able to express ourselves on the football field.”

Or, off it.

Kittle is an affable guy who’s always smiling and cracking jokes. After the 49ers’ victory over Green Bay in the NFC championship game, the tight end walked around doing TV interviews while wearing a T-shirt of a bare-chested quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo that a fan sent to him.

Of course, photos and video went viral. Just like his first-down celebrations.

“I think we both have a really good time playing football,” Kittle said. “You can see that on the tape. We both just enjoy being out there with our teammates. We both make plays when we’re asked to, and I think we both make plays when we’re not asked to.”

Goodell: Diversity in hiring must improve

By Barry Wilner AP Pro Football Writer

MIAMI — Stopping short of saying the Rooney Rule is not working, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell noted Wednesday the league needs change to its minority hiring policy.

Though the league requires teams to interview minority candidates, only two African-Americans have been hired for 19 open head coaching spots over the past three years. The league has only two minority general managers among the 32 teams.

“Clearly we are not where we

want to be on this level,” Goodell said at his annual Super Bowl news conference. “We have a lot of work that has gone into not only the Rooney Rule but our policy overall. It’s clear we need change and do something different.

“There’s no reason to expect we’re going to have a different outcome next year without those kinds of changes and we’ve already begun engaging in those changes. Not just with our diversity committee, not just with the Fritz Pollard Alliance, but others.

And trying to figure out what steps we could take next that would lead to better outcomes. It’s clear we’re

all committed to doing that, and we have to make those changes.

“We will have a series of meetings which we’ve already scheduled over the next month to get that kind of dialogue going, to continue the dialogue to try to determine what are the solutions so we can have those better outcomes,” he added.

The Rooney Rule, which has been adopted by other leagues and businesses, calls for a minority candidate to be interviewed for head coaching and executive openings such as general managers. Critics have said those interviews are often simply token responses to the rule

and that the minority candidates are not seriously considered for those positions.

Goodell also addressed negotiations between the NFL Players Association and the league on a new labor deal. The current 10-year contract runs out in March 2021 and there is optimism on both fronts that a new deal would be finalized before this March when the 2020 league year begins.

“We’ve been having incredibly productive dialogue,” Goodell said.

“I think we’ve made a lot of progress at now seven or eight months since we began those discussions more formally.

“I think we’ve addressed difficult issues that face our league going forward and looking forward. I think both the players and management and everyone at the negotiations have worked to try to find creative solutions to make the NFL better, and that’s what you want.”

As for putting a timetable on a potential agreement, Goodell wouldn’t speculate.

“The process will close when the process closes, when all of us feel comfortable that we’ve reached an agreement that we want to go forward with,” he said. “I don’t know when that will be. I think it’s more important to get it right.”

possibly unstable sister, defend yourself as much as possible from her attacks, keep your distance and do not attempt to heal your fractured family because you cannot fix what’s wrong with her.

DEAR ABBY: Please do not publish my name or city. I’m a senior male in a six-year, happy relationship with a wonderful, understanding lady.

But after decades of exploration and study, I have come to accept that I am nonbinary and/or gender fluid. My sexual expression — and orientation — shifts back and forth over time. This is far more than simply wearing ladies’ underwear or craving sex with men.

I live in an extremely conservative, mid-sized city, where there is practically no acceptance of gays or lesbians, and intersex people are unheard of. There are no knowledgeable doctors, counselors or support groups anywhere nearby. It would be so comforting to find someone like myself to share these feelings with. Is it even possible? — UNCOMFORTABLY QUIET IN THE MIDWEST

Crossword | Eugene Sheffer

DEAR QUIET: Have you searched online for the wealth of information on sexuality and gender identity?

PFLAG, the excellent organization I have mentioned in my column before, has a chapter in your city, which has for many years provided support and information to LGBTQ individuals and their families. It will also guide you to other resources nearby. Please go to pflag.org and search on your geographical area. Trust me, if you do, you’ll be glad you did.

Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars This year, you will be an active communicator, which could cause some people to pull back at first.

Eventually, you find that others become more responsive than in the recent past. If single, you will want to share a heavy dose of ideas and feelings. Try it, but you might not like that much intensity all the time.

If attached, your bond flourishes because of your time spent together chatting and reconnecting. ARIES could want to be closer to you than in the recent past.

HHHHH You can jump into what appears to be a full-throttled problem or hang at the edge to gain a better perspective. You will know what to do. A loved one or associate looks at the issue quite differently.

Tonight: Be willing to go back to the drawing board.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Fuss, complain and do what’s necessary. Your energy and willingness to take the lead with a money problem is admirable, but it could cause a hassle or two. Consider having another associate take charge of finances. Tonight: On a roll ... finally.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You could feel pressured by a sequence of events that force you to take a stronger role than normal. Investigate options, and keep doing so until you have a stronger sense of direction. Tonight: Do not allow a person or situation to

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your feelings always seem on the verge of exploding or creating a new scenario. Force yourself to use some restraint.

Lady luck comes through for you in a powerful manner. Tonight: Be open to new ideas, even if you feel tense about them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be in a tizzy and not able to bypass a problem.

You seem to keep feeding the issue with your concern. Others sense how important it might be to follow through on an idea. Your associates add an element of good luck.

Tonight: Get feedback.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH One-on-one relating takes you down the right path and success seems imminent. How you complete a certain task demon-

strates flexibility and a desire to find winning solutions. Tonight: A loving friend continues to be instrumental.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others seem more than ready to pitch in. Someone could want to assume more power until he or she witness an element of unpredictability. Do not allow an associate or friend to rock your foundation. Tonight: Encourage others to share their thoughts.

HHH You could be reacting to a certain amount of unpredictability stemming from a loved one or close associate. He or she might become stubborn over a key matter, which could be the last reaction you anticipated. Tonight: Say little. Go with the flow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) HHHH While others scratch their heads not knowing what to do, when to do it could be the critical issue. Loosen up and be willing to brainstorm until you are no longer concerned as to what course a situation will take. Tonight: Go play.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19)

Dear Heloise: A pool noodle can be used as a headrest for wooden chairs. Cut it to the length you need, then cut through the center of the length. Place it on the chair. — Johnny B., Long Beach, Calif.

SCARY SCRAPER Dear Heloise: Many people do not realize that kitchen spatulas might require extra cleaning.

Check yours out, because you might have some spatulas that are two pieces (the handle slides out of the scraper). There could be a nasty surprise inside that scraper portion and on that lower portion of the handle. Actually, it can be quite ghastly.

When buying a new spatula, it might be worthwhile to get the one-piece kind. Problem solved.

— Mary A., Vancouver, Wash.

MILITARY MEN NEED TOGS TOO

Rubes | Leigh Rubin

Dear Heloise: Your column was on point about clothing donations for women. No less important is a need for men’s clothing, especially for military men transitioning to civilian business life. In Houston, there is an organization oriented to outfitting soldiers, sailors and airmen for the business office.

I have donated my no-longer-needed suits and shirts. I have suggested the widows of three late friends give their husbands’ clothing, too. The suggestions were appreciated.

I hope you publish this idea, especially in support of our military. — Tom C., via email Always thrilled to support our military!

— Heloise

NEED SOME HELP? Dear Heloise: To find a handyman, check with your homeowner insurance company’s adjuster.

Most adjusters know folks who can fix just about anything. — Tommy T., via email

Wednesday’s answer, 1-29

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

hints from heloise NOODLE USE

HHHH Your imagination rarely gets out of control, yet it could at the present moment. You might be concerned by what is heading down your path. Know that you can handle whatever might be delivered to you! Tonight: Head home early.

HHHH You often tell it like it is. How you handle surprising news speaks of your stability and willingness to integrate with others.

You could be burdened by another person’s inflexibility. You can be that way too sometimes. Tonight: Paint the town red.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You have a lot to share and need to do just that. Whether your audience is as receptive as you might like falls into question. Be aware of the costs of heading into a project alone. The end results might not please you. Tonight: Let your hair down.
