Calista Corp. shareholders protest Donlin gold mine BETHEL (AP) — More than 130 shareholders of Calista Corp. are protesting a massive open-pit gold mine proposed in western Alaska. The group of shareholders, all women, sent a letter to the Alaska Native corporation, citing concerns about how the Donlin Gold Mine would affect the Kuskokwim River, KYUK-AM reported Thursday. Calista owns the subsurface rights to the mine planned for the YukonKuskokwim Delta region. “We are Indigenous women of the Calista region with strong physical, emotional, and spiritual ties to the people and the land,” the letter states. “We are also Calista shareholders who are concerned with the development of the Donlin gold mine and how that will impact our salmon-spawning river.” The river is the primary food source for the region that heavily relies on subsistence. Bev Hoffman, a longtime mine opponent, led the effort to draft the letter and gather signatures. Calista signed the lease two decades ago without shareholder input, so this letter shows the corporation that not all shareholders support the mine, she said. “They say it’s going to be great for the region — I would welcome a vote from shareholders,” Hoffman said. Calista defended its support for the mine in a statement, saying its staff members also practice subsistence and have the same stake in the environmental health of the region. “We waited until science and data showed that (National Environmental Policy Act) protections and regulations worked,” the corporation said. “Further, Calista continues to support the public comment process so that concerns and questions can be raised, and more importantly, be addressed.” Donlin Gold declined to comment, saying the letter is matter between Calista and its shareholders.

Local 4-H team competes nationally By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
A team of Kenai Peninsula teenagers represented the Alaska Livestock Team at the 2018 Western National Roundup in Denver, Colorado. The team was the first Alaska Livestock Team to compete at a National Livestock Quiz Bowl, which team member Colton Rankin describes as “family feud, but with livestock questions.” Questions test basic knowledge of livestock — identifying tweeds, breeds, hay, cuts of meat, meat equipment and other livestock-related information. Last year, the Alaska Livestock team attended another competition in Louis-

which include quiz bowl, public speaking, skillathon and livestock judging. It was Destiny Martin’s first year competing with the team. She said competing nationally her first year was amazing. “I was doing what I loved,” Martin said. “It was awesome.” The team went three rounds into the double elimination competition. In the end, the team from Alaska lost to Colorado and South Dakota, but won in a landslide against Texas, eventually placing sixth out of nine teams. “We beat Texas and it was literally the best feeling,” Martin said.

The House of Representatives is not fully organized just yet, but several key leadership positions have been filled. It took the House a record 31 days to elect a speaker in Rep. Bryce Edgmon of Dillingham, on Thursday. He recently changed his party affiliation from Democrat to undeclared. Edgmon who chairs the Committee on Committees said he hopes to have leadership and committee assignments completed Monday. A couple assignments have been made. All of these members belong to the bipartisan House Majority Coalition: Republican Rep. Steve Thompson will be House Majority Leader. Rep. Chuck Kopp, R-Anchorage will be House Rules Committee chair. Rep. Neal Foster, DNome, and Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, will be Finance Committee cochairs. Once the committees are set, the House can start tackling legislation. For example, the House Finance Committee could start working on the budget. Kopp had been tagged as majority leader, but he switched positions with Thompson Friday morning. He called it a “mutual decision.” “I think it was a matter of preference, skill set for each position,” Kopp said. Kopp said he had more experience in dealing with “process intensive” side of things including Mason’s Manual of Legislative Procedure, the book of procedural rules the Alaska Legislature uses to conduct its See HOUSE, page A3
Homer mulls funding for treatment center By MEGAN PACER Homer News
The city of Homer is taking a step back after initial steps to help fund a nonprofit that wants to set up a residential treatment center in town. Set Free Alaska has been working with the Southern Kenai Peninsula
Opioid Task Force and approached the city about the possibility of establishing a center in Homer for treating addiction. It’s a faithbased program certified by the state that operates out of the Mat-Su Valley, where it already has a residential treatment program for women. The center in Homer
would be for men, Executive Director Philip Licht told the Homer City Council at a meeting last month. That’s because, in working with the opioid task force, Set Free Alaska identified residential treatment for men as the biggest gap in the Homer community. Licht told the council previously that Set Free
Alaska treats people of any religious persuasion. According to its website, “SFA provides group and one-onone counseling in conjunction with the Word of God to help guide people into a life of freedom.” This and other aspects of a proposal to help the nonprofit reach its goal through city dollars gave several council mem-
bers pause at their Feb. 11 meeting. An ordinance that would allocate more than $177,000 to Set Free Alaska so that it could apply for a state grant was set to be voted on that night, but the council voted to postpone taking action. That ordinance received extensive public See FUND, page A2
7 dead whales reported Fairbanks North Star on Kodiak Island in 2018 Borough to remove KODIAK (AP) — Seven dead whales washed ashore on Kodiak Island in 2018, according to officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The cause of death for two of the whales appeared to be predation, and blunt trauma for another two whales, including a fin whale that struck a state ferry, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported. The cause of death for the other three whales was not determined. Four of the animals were gray whales, NOAA officials said. Altogether, 18 dead
whales were reported across the Gulf of Alaska last year. That is far short of the 49 deceased whales reported in the region in 2015. The cause of that event remains unknown, but scientists have tied it to unusually warm waters in the gulf during that period. The first of last year’s Kodiak strandings was reported June 25 to the Alaska Region Marine Mammal Stranding Network. In that case, a Kodiak resident reported that the body of a gray whale calf had landed on a beach near Pasagshak Bay. The animal’s
tongue was missing, indicating it might have been a victim of a killer whale. A report of an adult gray whale washing up on another beach near Pasagshak followed June 28, with results of a necropsy suggesting blunt trauma as a possible cause of death. In early July, the body of a severely emaciated adult gray whale stranding was reported in another bay. A fourth dead gray whale washed ashore in Pasagshak Bay, with that stranding reported in early August. The head and jaws were missing, indicating it was likely killed by a killer whale.
CBD ads on buses FAIRBANKS (AP) — Advertisements for a cannabinoid commonly called CBD were mistakenly posted on public buses, said a Fairbanks North Star Borough official. The local store’s ads are being removed from the buses, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported. The ads from Aurora Apothecary should not have been accepted, said borough transportation director Glenn Miller. The borough rejects potentially controversial advertisements, Miller
said. The borough does not accept ads that involve cannabis, alcohol, tobacco, politics or adult themes for borough buses, which are federally subsidized. “It’s not worth a lot of complaints,” Miller said. Miller said, however, that no one has complained about the CBD ads. CBD is credited with easing multiple health problems — a claim lacking scientific evidence. CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabis extract, unlike tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC,

Coach Cassandra said the trip allowed the opportunity for the students to experience new things, like learning how to country line dance, and how to ride on public transportation.
“We had our first trip on a public transportation bus,” Colton Rankin said. “We were stuck at a bus stop for like an hour,” Gracie Rankin, a tea member, said. “But it was fun.” Cassandra Rankin said the team set the goal to compete at a national quiz bowl event almost five years ago. “It was a really neat thing to see them be able to attain their goal,” she said. It was neat for our
new members as well. It kind of got every fired up to do it again in other areas.” The team hasn’t decided if they will compete at nationals again, or which segment they want to compete in next year.

force, weren’t aware the city had funding available to give to addition recovery efforts. The $177,000 allocation from the ordinance comes from the city’s police station fund. The money is what was given to the city last year from the state in community assistance. It was originally put into the police station fund, council member Heath Smith explained, but he said it is no longer needed there. When Set Free Alaska approached the city asking for a match in order to have a better chance at getting its grant, Smith said he and council member Shelly Erickson looked for funds that could be spared and landed on the community assistance money. Council members Donna Aderhold and Caroline Venuti introduced a substitute to the original ordinance at the Monday meeting. The substitute would split up the allocation by giving $40,000 to Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) for Task Force coordination, and $10,000 to the Homer Foundation’s City of Homer grant fund “specifically for Homer-based organizations conducting programs and
events related to addiction prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.” Ginny Espenshade, director of the Kenai Peninsula Youth Court in Homer, said that because this treatment center would be such an important addition to the community, the council needs to be careful in moving forward with potentially helping to fund it. “This is a tremendous opportunity for public-private partnership, but there’s also a tremendous responsibility to do it right,” she said. “To do it thoughtfully, to do it carefully, to do it in a way that will be sustainable and not just relying on grants. Grants are not sustainable revenue.” Espenshade was referencing the state grant Set Free Alaska has already applied for that would provide $1.5 million over two and a half years. Licht has estimated the project, which is to renovate an existing building in Homer into a 16-bed facility, will cost about $3.2 million. Josh Garvey, a Homer resident, said that Set Free Alaska has a “sustainable business model.” At the same time, he urged the council not to split
up the funds among local organizations. “By attempting to divert those funds to numerous organizations, you actually start to water down our potential to make impact in our community,” he said. Smith said the ordinance funding Set Free Alaska was not an attempt to disrespect local organizations already doing work on addiction recovery. “The only reason that Phillip (Licht) and Set Free were able to find any money was because they came and asked,” he said. Some council members, like Rachel Lord, said they’d feel better about the funding if they could find out more specifics from Set Free Alaska about how exactly the money would be spent. They would also like to see more details about exactly what the proposed facility would entail and how the nonprofit would accept and treat clients. The council ultimately voted to postpone the issue until its next meeting on Feb. 25.

comment, with many people praising the work of Set Free Alaska and advocating for a local treatment center, and others questioning the details of the project. Some said it wasn’t clear whether those in treatment would be required to participate in religious activities, even though the nonprofit doesn’t use religion as a discriminator when accepting clients. Former city council member David Lewis commented that he is not in favor of using city money to fund a faith-based organization. Dory Hagen, a licensed professional counselor in town, commented that there are rules that keep licensed counselors from involving their own religious beliefs with a patient. “As a professional counselor … we are bound by a code of ethics to not impose our value system on who we see,” she said. Another issue brought up at the meeting was that other local organizations that have long been working on the issue of addiction, like the opioid task

meetings. “We decided it would be an ideal position for each one of us,” Kopp added. Thompson was unavailable for comment to comment Friday afternoon on his new role. House Majority Coalition The bipartisan House Majority Coalition consisted of 25 members as of Friday. Rep. Bart LeBon was the 25th member to join the majority. LeBon, a freshman Republican from Fairbanks, was the 25th member to join the Majority Coalition. “The appointment of Representatives Wilson and Thompson to key leadership positions gave me justification for joining the majority caucus,” LeBon said. Wilson and Thompson are veteran Republicans from the Interior. “Hopefully I’ll be sitting on the Finance Com-
mittee with Representative Wilson.” LeBon, a retired banker, believes his experience would serve well on that committee. He also spoke about why he joined the other five Interior delegates in the majority caucus. “We gave it the allAmerican try, both sides of the aisle did,” LeBon said. “It became clear to me there was no settlement date in sight without some kind of bold action from one caucus or the other to bridge the divide.” “It became apparent that we needed to find some common ground the (Interior delagates) feel that we have found that common ground,” LeBon said. The party breakdown of the House Majority Coalition is: 16 Democrats in Reps. Neal Foster, Nome; Matt Claman, Anchorage; Harriet Drummond, Anchorage; Zack Fields, Anchorage; Sara Hannan, Juneau; Grier Hopkins, Fairbanks; Andy Josephson, Anchor-

to getting to work,” Pruitt said, during a Friday morning press conference. Pruitt said Republicans who joined the majority may see things differently that does not mean they “won’t be able to work for what’s right for Alaska.” “The point is we can still work together,” Pruitt added. Pruitt was also asked why he did not join the House majority. “One of the conerns that I had,” Pruitt said, “is I’m very concerned about being a part of caucus with people who that have very different ideas on the future of Alaska, and yet having to be a part of a binding caucus that demanded that I agree to the issues that are on the opposite side of where I find myself.” Rep. DeLena Johnson

Serving the Kenai Peninsula since 1970 Jeff Hayden Publisher ERIN THOMPSON......................................................... Editor DOUG MUNN........................................... Circulation Director FRANK GOLDTHWAITE......................... Production Manager
Letter to the Editor
Protect our future; say ‘no’ to Dunleavy’s budget cuts To live within your means, you
have to have an income. My husband and I are longtime Alaskan residents who love our state and what it stands for. We are raising our child here and plan to remain here in Homer for the rest of our lives. Despite my fiscally conservative tendencies, I am horrified by the governor’s proposed budget and terrified for the potential ramifications for Homer, the Kenai Peninsula, and Alaska. If House Bill 57 passes, the Kenai Peninsula Borough loses a giant chunk of its income. This money will have to be replaced if we want to continue having hospitals, schools, roads, etc. Without health care and education, where will the jobs be? Who will spend money at the privately owned businesses when our unemployment skyrockets? The borough’s only recourse will be property taxes. Taxes will go up yet fundamental services will go down. When property taxes and unemployment go up and our services go down, our property values will plummet. House Bill 57 is not good for Alaska. And why would it be? It is the plan of the OMB Director, a woman who has only been in the state for eight weeks and who has no intention of staying. She doesn’t care if Alaska’s future will only be as strong as its education system. Her children and grandchildren won’t need to use our schools so why should she care if they go unfunded? I, for one, don’t want her, or any other outsider with no stakes in the long-term outcome, to make decisions that will effect, in her own words, every single Alaskan. Please don’t assume someone else will make sure this doesn’t happen. We may not all be on the same side of the political blanket but we are all Alaskans. Say ‘no’ to this budget by calling and writing Sara Vance and Gary Stevens and telling them that we won’t stand for an outside hatchet attacking our future. I wish getting rid of HB 57 would solve the whole problem, but it won’t. We also need a revenue source. We all do. If there is no money coming in, we can’t pay the bills. We have been fortunate to fund our communities with oil company funds for many years. That money is drying up. Cutting alone won’t solve any problems if there is less and less money coming in. The plan with HB 57 is to take money from the borough to increase the state income. That just shifts the burden to property taxes. I am willing to pay my share but I also want the out of state workers to pay theirs. They don’t pay property taxes. For that reason, I support an income tax where an estimated 25 percent of revenue will come from those outside workers.
Science requires knowledge, but that requires education Tim Bradner, one of Alaska’s most respected business and resource journalists, had an excellent column Feb. 15 in the Anchorage Daily News on how government investments in science (both past and present) have been crucial in reaping Alaska’s natural resource rewards, such as the North Slope oil and gas. He said that today, a key agency that provides technical assistance to private companies is the state Division of Geology and Geophysics Services (DGGS), part of the Department of Natural Resources. Their investments in science, he noted, have provided technical assistance to private companies and encouraged them to invest in exploration and development. He added that beyond non-renewable resource development, good science is critical to programs within the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and other resource management agencies. Bradner concluded that science requires knowledge — that it is like seed corn for the future. Knowledge, as we know, arises from education — one of the areas being whacked hard by Gov. Dunleavy’s heavy budget axe. With Alaska’s oil wealth, we should already have one of the finest K-12 and university education systems in America. But recent studies reveal we remain woefully low on the nation’s public education performance ladder. We’ve heard the clarion rant: “Throwing money at education won’t improve it.” Perhaps not, but reforming education and adapting it for the 21st century requires considerable investment; and recruiting good teachers and other education

re-election, are as frightened of the “T” word as someone carrying nitroglycerin in the back of their car. Promising people more money is significantly more popular than taking it away in taxes, as we learned from the last state election. In a recent Anchorage Daily News column, Larry Persily, a wellknown journalist who has had extensive budget experience at both state and federal levels, wrote that Alaskans are delusional if they think they can solve the state’s budget crisis without a new revenue stream. And we have heard similarly from others, including the University of Alaska Institute for Social and Economic Research. A state sales tax would generate hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue and capture tourist spending. And for Bush Alaska, the tax on certain items such as food, fuel and medicine, could be indexed to prevent hardship. Locally, in Anchorage for example, property owners have been bearing the brunt of taxation way too long. I realize that reaching a consensus among Alaska’s highly transient population is tantamount to herding cats. But hopefully, our current Legislature will take a serious and deliberative look at the governor’s proposed 2019-2020 budget — which includes paying people large PFDs, ultimately robbing future generations — and agree that education is the key to our future. To reiterate Bradner’s comment: “Knowledge is seed corn. Plant it and reap the bounty. Don’t plant it and go hungry.”
professionals to a far-flung place such as Alaska requires incentives such as competitive pay, benefits, with a sound retirement program. It should be obvious to all that education is a society’s foundation. Without an educated citizenry, economies will become unsustainable and eventually crumble. And this situation is becoming more critical with advances in technology and the emergence of an interdependent, global economy. We see it in many cities across the Lower 48 and we’re seeing it here: increased homelessness, unemployment and crime. Instead of making education one of our highest priorities to prepare citizens for the challenges of the century, we hire more police and judges and have more people in prison than ever before. Because we have gotten so far beyond the curve in education, our social costs have increased dramatically. Education is essential if we wish our nation to have a middle class, and not simply a “have and have not” population, which has occurred in many countries. Every school in Alaska and across the U.S. should be as good as the best school; and that includes a greater emphasis on vocational programs. That might require increasing taxes, and in Alaska’s case, adding a new general revenue stream such as a state sales tax. A lifetime Alaskan, Frank E. Baker Many lawmakers, however, who is a freelance writer who lives in Eagle are only concerned about their own River.

Prescription for Play: Children’s play is critical for healthy development Some doctors are starting to write a very different kind of prescription for their young patients — a strong recommendation to “play every day.” While this may sound curious or frivolous to some, research shows that unstructured play is an essential building block for healthy child development. Unfortunately, children today have fewer opportunities to play and grow in healthy ways, which negatively affects their ability to decrease stress, overcome adverse childhood experiences, learn positive social behaviors and develop higher-level reasoning skills. The lack of play affects not only children and families, but also schools, communities and society. Dr. Michael Yogman, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a leading pediatrician studying the benefits of play. He recently authored “The Power of Play,” published by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. Yogman is coming to Alaska and will lead a community panel in Anchorage on Feb. 21 on the importance of physical activity and play for our youth and
community health. Earlier that day, hundreds of Alaska students will participate in a statewide event called PLAAY Day with children completing organized physical activity all at the same time in schools. This event helps kids get closer to the recommended 60 minutes of daily activity. Our Department of Health and Social Services and its Play Every Day campaign support the school event and community panel and encourage children to play and grow up healthy. What has led to the loss of play? This generation faces a multitude of barriers that limit unstructured, child-directed play. An increasing societal emphasis on academic results has shifted the focus during early learning and preschool from social emotional skills to building math and reading skills. More families have both parents working or just one parent raising a child. Finding quality child care adds stress to families. For some, playgrounds, parks and neighborhoods don’t feel safe enough for children in today’s world. Other families, with the best intentions, enrich but inadvertently over-
schedule their children’s time with organized activities such as team sports or lessons. There is also no denying that increased screen time and social media interaction has replaced outdoor play. Children’s playtime decreased by 25 percent from 1981 to 1997, according to Dr. Yogman. Children ages 3–11 have lost 12 hours per week of free time. Dr. Yogman also describes the crucial role that different types of play have on a child’s development. Child-led play and exploration builds a child’s ability to function effectively in our increasingly complex world. It does this from the appearance of a baby’s first smiles and simple reciprocal games like peek-a-boo to a child’s exploration of objects and more sophisticated interactions with caregivers and other children. Through play, children learn how to plan and carry out tasks, negotiate turn-taking and interact with others. Play helps build communication skills that blossom from uncontrollable crying to whining to using words to ask
for help. Play guided by nurturing adults is also important. When an adult encourages and guides a child in play, a process called scaffolding allows children to increase learning beyond what they have already mastered by “pushing the envelope.” Learning is more effective and encourages curiosity when guidance takes cues from the child and allows for exploration. This kind of play and the sharing of the magic of childhood between parents and children help the whole family. Not only does it assist children in building important skills and resilience in the face of stress, it also brings joy to parents. If we support our children to play every day, we can all help build stronger, smarter, more resilient and happier kids, who grow into successful productive adults.

Each way serves a different purpose. If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to:www.parchment.com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace… rather than the US mail… to get to its destination, which is much faster! ALL transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way! FINAL TRANSCRIPTS! A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades… If you order your transcript when we are IN second semester, you will need to make sure you choose “next grading period” when you go on to Parchment… that way your transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent.

Snow, rain can’t stop Tour of Tsalteshi By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
Steve Cothran, organizer of the Tour of Tsalteshi, said he wants to make the event a race of the Kenai Peninsula cross-country skiing community. So in some ways, the soft conditions brought about by 24 hours of snow before Sunday’s event, while not perfect, were appropriate. Because from Tsalteshi Trails just outside of Soldotna to the Kenai Nordic Trails to the many trails rolling through the hills of Homer to the Divide, Bear Lake or whatever’s skiing in Seward, conditions are rarely perfect. There’s just not the population base and money for all corduroy, all the time. Luke Rosier, who won the 40-kilometer freestyle Sunday, has found that out this year after relocating from Seward to Anchorage. “Crappy conditions in Anchorage are like some of the better days in Seward,” said Rosier after skiing a second lap in rain falling on a big powder dump, which is so Seward. Emily Lints, who won the women’s 40-kilometer freestyle, said some in Homer who signed up didn’t show up Sunday. But it wasn’t because they expected tough skiing. “Homer people will ski anything, but the roads scared them away,” she said. Sure, the groomers of the peninsula can’t deploy massive armies of snowmachines or a monstrous and brand-new grooming machine known as a PistenBully, but on the peninsula that seems to make them more beloved. Some of the loudest applause at the awards ceremony at Kenai River Brewing came when Cothran mentioned that Bill Holt, John Pothast and the Tsalteshi grooming crew had worked all the way to midnight, then were back at the trails at 8 a.m. “I love Bill Holt,” Lints said. Even Ninilchik’s Todd Boonstra, who has been to three Winter Olympics in cross-country skiing, had
no problem with the trail prep. “The groomers did a great job of just trying to keep up with the snow,” said Boonstra, who won the men’s 20-kilometer freestyle, while his wife, Kelli Boonstra, took the women’s 20K. “It’s hard when you get 3, 4, 5, 6 inches of snow the night before a race.” This year, the Tour of Tsalteshi offered a discount to Kachemak Nordic Ski Club and Seward Nordic Ski Club members. Registration jumped from 79 last year to 112 this year, with 83 from the central peninsula, 12 from Homer, 10 from Seward and seven from off the peninsula. Nobody was complaining about the snow. “We’ve all been waiting for a winter wonderland and we’ve got it this year,” Kelli Boonstra said. “This is awesome. I love all this snow. It’s great skiing.” Boonstra, 48, was the lone repeat champion. She finished at 1:27:44, while Seward’s Mackenzie Barnwell was next at 1:31:29. Boonstra said she gets her energy from working with the Tsalteshi Youth Ski Program and from being head ski coach at Kenai Middle School. There are 46 kids out for the team this season. “It’s amazing. I’m with them five days a week,” Boonstra said. “I get a workout just trying to keep up with all my kids.” Boonstra said the Tour of Tsalteshi is part of a burgeoning Nordic culture that includes big growth in youth programs since the Boonstras came back from Galena in 2011. “It’s been inspirational to see all the youth programs grow with all these kids,” Boonstra said. “It’s something they’re passionate about and it gets them outside in the winter. Kids need that.” Boonstra was one of the nation’s top cross-country skiers, nearly qualifying for the 1998 Winter Olympics. Todd and Kelli met through skiing, so both liked sharing the victories Sunday. Todd Boonstra, 56, finished at 1:15:55, while Anchorage’s Dante Petri was next at 1:25:00. “These trails are sweet
skiing and I’ve done most of these trails, but I’ve never done them hard,” said Boonstra, who missed last year due to illness. “I wanted to see what they’re like in a race.” Rosier, 32, finished third last year while Seward’s Chaz DiMarzio took the win. But Rosier’s second lap in worsening conditions marked him as a man to watch, and Sunday he proved why. He won at 2:49:36, while DiMarzio was second at 2:53:41. Rosier lived in Seward for eight years, ski coaching at Seward High School for three years, before relocating to Anchorage this school year as a student teacher. He’s tangled with DiMarzio in endurance pursuits for years. “I’ve never beaten him at anything,” Rosier said. He figured he had a chance this year because he’s done so much more skiing while teaching at Service, which has top-notch and tough trails right out the door. He broke from the pack at 7K and never looked back, kinda, in taking his first lifetime victory in a major race. “I wasn’t physically looking over my shoulder, but there was never a time during the race I wasn’t mentally looking over my shoulder. I know he can punish himself so much at the end of the race,” he said of DiMarzio. Rosier said Boonstra was a big help in building a big lead during the first lap. As a 20K skier, Boonstra started five minutes after Rosier. Boonstra said his goal was to track down all the 40K skiers, and the only one he didn’t was Rosier. “He still looked really good, quick and smooth at halfway,” Boonstra said. “I wasn’t catching him. I was impressed.” Lints, 36, won at 3:12:05, while Sterling’s Morgan Aldridge was second at 3:25:54. Lints, a former skier at Dartmouth, has coached high school and junior high in Homer. She now leads the Kachemak Women’s Nordic Group. She expected a group of over 10 of her students, but some couldn’t make it due

to the roads. One who did is Tara Schmidt, who was third in 3:34:59. Schmidt broke a ski in a fall near the start and came back to the starting area, rounding up another ski, before completing the race. Could she have challenged Lints if not for the accident? “I couldn’t have stayed with her,” Schmidt said. “Emily is my coach.” Lints put in a plug for two other peninsula Nordic events, the Kachemak Ski Marathon on March 9 and the Homer Epic on March 16. “I love smaller, community races,” she said. “The closer to home, the better.” Cothran also thanked the 20 volunteers it took to put on the race.
captain’s-choice format for a second consecutive season. “You put me on the floor, I love to compete,” James said in the postgame interview room. “I’m a competitor, no matter what it is. I was competing to see if I could get to this table first.” He wasn’t kidding. He then turned to NBA spokesman Mark Broussard, asked if he was the first player to get into the room and grinned when told he was. “See what I’m talking about?” James said. Klay Thompson scored 20 points, and James and Kawhi Leonard each had 19 for the winners.

“It’s all sweet to me,” Durant said after getting his second All-Star MVP award, to go with the one he claimed in 2012. “It’s hard to rank because everything’s special. But it’s cool to be out there with some of the best players to ever play the game. And to win MVP in front of my family and friends is pretty sweet.” Giannis Antetokounmpo — the first-time captain — led everybody with 38 points on 17 for 23 shooting for the club he drafted. Paul George and Khris Middleton each scored 20 points for Team Giannis, which got 17 apiece from Stephen Curry and Russell Westbrook.
Hamlin captures Daytona 500 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Joe Gibbs closed his eyes during a tribute lap for his late son, while crew members raised a banner to honor the co-founder of Joe Gibbs Racing. J.D. Gibbs had been hand-picked by his father to run the organization, changed tires during the early seasons, had a brief stint as a driver, pushed for a pivotal switch to Toyota and discovered Denny Hamlin. He signed Hamlin to drive the No. 11, his number from his football days, and it is his name above the driver door on Hamlin’s car. J.D. Gibbs died last month following a long battle with a degenerative neurological disease and Hamlin dedicated this NASCAR season to Gibbs’ memory. When Hamlin crossed the finish line Sunday
night to win his second Daytona 500 in four years, Joe Gibbs could not hold back what the moment meant to him. A Hall of Fame NFL coach with three Super Bowl victories ranked JGR’s third Daytona 500 win as top. “It’s the most emotional and the biggest win I’ve ever had in my life in anything” Gibbs said. “J.D. built our race team, was the guy that ran day to day operations for 27 years. He invested his occupational life in our race team. It was the most important night in my occupational life. “I know J.D. and everybody in my family was emotional.” Hamlin came to Daytona determined to honor his late car owner with a victory. He delivered a storybook tribute. Hamlin led JGR in a
1-2-3 sweep of the podium in overtime and was met in victory lane by the entire Gibbs family, including J.D.’s widow and four sons. “He meant a lot to me and it’s hard for me not getting choked up because I’ve been choked up about 100 times about it,” Hamlin said. “Just to have Melissa (Gibbs) and all the kids here, it’s just crazy.” Kyle Busch and Erik Jones finished second and third as JGR became the second team in NASCAR history to sweep the Daytona 500 podium. Hendrick Motorsports did it in 1997 with Jeff Gordon, Terry Labonte and Ricky Craven. Busch, now winless in 14 Daytona 500s, was initially openly disappointed in falling short. “He’s got two, I’ve got none, and that’s just the way it goes sometimes,”

Tour of Tsalteshi
Team LeBron tops Team Giannis CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — LeBron James was trading lob passes with Dwyane Wade again, one last time. Catching lobs from former teammate Kyrie Irving once again, too. And after making a stepback 3-pointer late, he stared down Joel Embiid to send a message without saying a word. Oh, this mattered to James — and Team LeBron as well. Team LeBron, down by 20 in the second half, finally got firing and went on to beat Team Giannis 178164 in the All-Star Game on Sunday night. MVP Kevin Durant scored 31 points for Team LeBron, the one that James drafted and led to victory in the

Busch said. But he reiterated the JGR and Toyota goal of working together to win the race and noted he didn’t have much of a shot at beating Hamlin because the field had been decimated by a flurry of late accidents. “Was trying to make sure one of us gets to victory lane, first and foremost,” Busch said. “There wasn’t enough cars out there running at the end. I don’t know how it would have played out.” Hamlin and Busch alternated as the leaders during the handful of late restarts, and the final rush to the checkered flag was a push to hold off Ford driver and reigning NASCAR champion Joey Logano. The Ford camp went 1-2-3 in both of Thursday’s qualifying races and was favored to win the Daytona 500.
Today in History Today is Monday, Feb. 18, the 49th day of 2019. There are 316 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 18, 2001, auto racing star Dale Earnhardt Sr. died in a crash at the Daytona 500; he was 49. On this date: In 1546, Martin Luther, leader of the Protestant Reformation in Germany, died in Eisleben. In 1861, Jefferson Davis was sworn in as provisional president of the Confederate States of America in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1913, Mexican President Francisco I. Madero and Vice President Jose Maria Pino Suarez were arrested during a military coup (both were shot to death on Feb. 22). In 1930, photographic evidence of Pluto (now designated a “dwarf planet”) was discovered by Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. In 1943, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, wife of the Chinese leader, addressed members of the Senate and then the House, becoming the first Chinese national to address both houses of the U.S. Congress. In 1970, the “Chicago Seven” defendants were found not guilty of conspiring to incite riots at the 1968 Democratic national convention; five were convicted of violating the Anti-Riot Act of 1968 (those convictions were later reversed). In 1972, the California Supreme Court struck down the state’s death penalty. In 1977, the space shuttle prototype Enterprise, sitting atop a Boeing 747, went on its debut “flight” above Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1983, 13 people were shot to death at a gambling club in Seattle’s Chinatown in what became known as the Wah Mee Massacre. (Two men were convicted of the killings and are serving life sentences; a third was found guilty of robbery and assault.) In 1988, Anthony M. Kennedy was sworn in as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1997, astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery completed their tune-up of the Hubble Space Telescope after 33 hours of spacewalking; the Hubble was then released using the shuttle’s crane. In 2003, an arson attack involving two South Korean subway trains in the city of Daegu claimed 198 lives. (The arsonist was sentenced to life in prison, where he died in 2004.) Ten years ago: President Barack Obama launched a $75 billion foreclosure rescue plan aimed at saving homes. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton began a two-day visit to Indonesia. Eric Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, said in a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month that the United States was “a nation of cowards” on matters of race. Pope Benedict XVI received House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at the Vatican, telling her that Catholic politicians had a duty to protect life “at all stages of its development.” Five years ago: Megan Rice, an 84-year-old nun, was sentenced in Knoxville, Tennessee, to nearly three years in prison for breaking into a nuclear weapons complex and defacing a bunker holding bomb-grade uranium, a demonstration that exposed serious security flaws at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge. (Two other activists received sentences of just over five years.) Maria Franziska von Trapp, 99, the last surviving member of the seven original Trapp Family Singers of “Sound of Music” fame (and stepdaughter of “the” Maria von Trapp), died in Stowe, Vermont. One year ago: “Black Panther,” the Marvel superhero film from the Walt Disney Co., blew past expectations to take in $192 million during its debut weekend in U.S. and Canadian theaters. LeBron James scored 29 points and won his third NBA All-Star Game MVP award as his team beat the rival squad headed by Stephen Curry, 148-to-145. Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. John Warner, R-Va., is 92. Author Toni Morrison is 88. Singer Yoko Ono is 86. Singer-songwriter Bobby Hart is 80. Singer Irma Thomas is 78. Singer Herman Santiago (Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers) is 78. Actress Jess Walton is 73. Singer Dennis DeYoung is 72. Actress Sinead Cusack is 71. Actress Cybill Shepherd is 69.

New mother can’t let go of story of baby’s death Please don’t wait to reach out. Your own baby needs love and care, and that should be your focus. DEAR ABBY: I recently started a band with some close friends. At the beginning, everything was going great because we all have similar tastes in music. However, recently the lead Abigail Van Buren singer has gotten more and more attention-seeking. It started out small where he would make jokes on stage and try and get a laugh out of people. But now he’s getting really outlandish, wearing crazy outfits and overall just acting ridiculous. How can I help him get back to just caring about the music and leaving the antics behind? -- EAST COAST MUSICIAN DEAR MUSICIAN: You have my sympathy. Tom Hanks wrote and directed a movie about this subject in 1996. It is called “That Thing You Do!” If you can locate it, I am sure you will find it interesting. As destructive as the hardships of being constantly on the road have been for performers in the music and entertainment business, EGO
can be equally so. Your bandmate may be trying his best to upstage the rest of you or may think a gimmick could excite your audience. Try talking to him about it, but accept that you may have to replace him. If that’s the case, be sure the person you hire has the same vision for the band that you do, so this won’t happen again. DEAR ABBY: What is the best way to approach a co-worker regarding body odor? A number of people in my office have noticed it, and it’s creating a problem when someone has to sit near him during a meeting. We don’t want to cause hurt feelings, but we really need him to be aware. -- KEEPING OUR DISTANCE IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR KEEPING: This could be a medical problem rather than poor hygiene. Because it’s a delicate subject, one that could be embarrassing for everyone concerned, this should be discussed with HR, the person’s supervisor or the boss -- depending upon the size of the company. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Hints from Heloise

MILD ABRASION Dear Heloise: I save toilet-paper centers when a roll is finished. They provide excellent mild abrasion for things, such as scuff marks on wooden floors (especially ones made by rubber), by rubbing the mark with a flattened center. The centers, along with a liquid cleaner, are useful for cleaning ceramic stovetops. Woodworkers can use them on varnished surfaces, after all the sandpapering is finished, to produce a truly fine surface. -- Jack M., Silver Spring, Md. UNSUBSCRIBE TO MAGS Dear Heloise: I keep getting magazines I did not subscribe to, with some even “welcoming” me back! It’s next to impossible to stop this flow of unwanted magazines in my mailbox. Is there something I can do to make it stop? -- Vicki S., Farmington, Ark. Vicki, try this hint: Write to a magazine’s subscription department by email or a letter, and let it know that you do not want the magazine, you did not subscribe to the publication, and you are canceling ALL further deliveries. Include your name, address and phone number. Also, you can register at dmachoice.org to stop unsolicited mail. Go to the website for more information. -- Heloise SEED STARTER Dear Heloise: Here is an idea to start seeds in your kitchen and later to transplant them in your garden: Take the bottom of an egg carton, fill each egg slot with dirt and plant a seed in each one. The best place for them is on a windowsill. Water them, and later transplant the seedlings in your garden. -- Leigh H., Marion, S.C.

DEAR ABBY: I recently had a baby, and I have been diagnosed as having postpartum depression. I have tried all of the prescribed medications but took myself off them because of the side effects. The issue I’m having is I read a news story about a tiny baby who was scalded to death years ago by his mother. I think about that precious baby all day long. I cry, I scream and I have anxiety about hot water. I started following the case closely (it’s in another state) and have been spending my hardearned vacation money ordering depositions and other documents from the case. I want some kind of closure on this, but I can’t seem to let this poor baby go. My money is limited, which is why I can’t/don’t see a therapist. Any advice? -- OVERWHELMED IN GEORGIA DEAR OVERWHELMED: Have you informed the doctor who prescribed those medications that you stopped taking them, and why? If you haven’t, you should. It is important that you talk with a mental health professional about your obsession over the death of that baby and how it is affecting your life. Because money is limited, contact your county department of mental health and ask what services are available on a sliding financial scale.
