Man kills polar bear outside animals’ normal habitat FAIRBANKS (AP) — A man from northeast Alaska said he fatally shot a polar bear that had strayed far south of the animal’s usual habitat. Jim Hollandsworth of Arctic Village said he encountered the bear in early January. He said the bear had tried to get into his cabin about 20 miles from the village, Alaska’s Energy Desk reported . Hollandsworth went to check a trapline and immediately saw evidence of the bear. “Tore up one of the snowmachines, flipped it completely over,” he said, describing the damage. Hollandsworth said he didn’t see the bear until the following morning, after he stepped outside his cabin to put gasoline in the generator. “My dog barked, and the bear was on my back, right behind me. And I jumped back inside, grabbed my rifle,” Hollandsworth said. “By time I got turned around, it was heading for the door, the open door. Wanted to come in. So they got shot point-blank right there at the doorstep.” He said the animal appeared to be a young female. Polar bears are a federally protected species, with the exception of selfdefense killings. Hollandsworth said he reported the shooting to Alaska State Troopers. He said they put him touch with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages polar bears. The agency did not reSee BEAR, page A3

Setting culture in stone Soldotna artist honors Dena’ina heritage with Anchorage statue By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Near Anchorage’s Ship Creek, a new bronze statue of an elder named Olga, a Dena’ina matriarch from the village of Eklutna, stands and overlooks land that was once a prosperous Native fish camp. Soldotna artist Joel Isaak, who is Dena’ina himself, worked on the statue for two and a half years. He said he doesn’t take the opportunity to represent his culture through art lightly. “It’s a lot of reflection,” Isaak said. “Trying to consolidate the history of cultural annihilation and assimilation in a positive light is tricky. It’s a way to convey that we are still living people.” Isaak, a Dena’ina language professor at the Kenai Peninsula College, created his proposal for the statue after the village of Eklutna sent out a call for art. The parameters of the project

Alaska Native in public art. “Most of the figurative work, if it is of indigenous people, looks like European people,” Isaak said. “I don’t identify with it from a visual standpoint. Being able to have the opportunity to be able to be a little more in control of the narrative is an honor. It’s exciting to see other people’s excitement at that opportunity.” Isaak’s work can be found in many places across Alaska. He worked on a beluga whale diorama in Anchorage’s Ted Stevens Airport. Art of Isaak’s can be found in the Sheldon Jackson Museum in Sitka. Locally, Isaak completed statues in front of the Dena’ina Wellness Center and salmon skin bowls in A bronze statue near Anchorage’s Ship Creek represents the Kenai Courthouse.

Aftershocks rattle Alaskans, spark anxiety By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Seven weeks after a massive earthquake rocked Alaska, aftershocks are still shattering 7-year-old Connor Cartwright’s sense of safety. They shake the earth far less than the 7.0 magnitude quake that sent a mirror, TV and dishes crashing to the ground in the Anchorage home where Connor lives with his mother, father and 11-year-old brother. But the seemingly neverending aftershocks deepen quake anxiety for the secondgrader and many other Alaska residents in the wide swath of the state shaken by the Nov. 30 quake.

Kenai supports bike grant application By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

Kenai City Council approved a resolution supporting the local group BIK&S in the grant process to continue the Unity Trail from Beaver Loop to the Kenai Spur Highway via Bridge Access Road. BIK&S, a local biking group, is working with the Department of Transportation to receive a grant that would connect the western end of the Beaver Loop pathway to the existing bike path along the Kenai Spur Highway, by following Bridge Access Road. According to comments from Ben Boettger, who is working with BIK&S on the grant application, the Alaska Department of Transportation grant would fund 90.97 percent of the project through the federal governments Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act. The grant requires a 9.03 percent match from a local partner, a role Boettger hopes Kenai will fill. “Constructing this pathway along Bridge Access Road extending from the intersection of Bridge Access Road with Beaver Loop Road to the intersection of Bridge Access Road with the Kenai Spur Highway combined with the existing Unity Trail along the Kenai Spur Highway and the planned pedestrian path with the forthcoming Beaver Loop Road Project construction would create an important connecting loop along main transportation corridors in the area,” said City Manger Paul Ostrander in city docuSee BIKE, page A3

Suicide prevention bill gains bipartisan support By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire

The Alaska Legislature’s start to the new legislative session has been a rocky one, but one bill is already gaining bipartisan support in the Senate. Senate Bill 10 aims to extend the term of a 17-year-old statewide organization dedicated to preventing suicides, through the year 2027. If the bill does not pass, the Statewide Suicide Prevention Council would expire on June 30. Sen. Scott Kawasaki, DFairbanks, introduced the bill ahead of session, and on Friday, 14 of the 20 state senators backed it as a co-sponsor. “Suicide and suicide pre-

vention is not a partisan issue,” day. “So I was pleased to have Kawasaki said in a phone in- so much support. I think it’s terview from Fairbanks on Fri- something we can pass fairly

easy.” Sen. Mia Costello, R-Anchorage, made a short emotional request, with tears welling in her eyes, to become a co-sponsor of the bill, in honor of “a dear friend” during a Senate Floor Session. It did not take long for the other senators to follow suit. In addition to Costello, Republicans who became co-sponsors now include: Sens. Natasha Von Imhof, Cathy Giessel, John Coghill, Shelley Hughes, Gary Stevens, David Wilson and Chris Birch. In addition to Kawasaki, Democrat cosponsors include: Sens. Donny Olson, Bill Wielechowski, Jesse Kiehl, Lyman Hoffman, Elvi Gray-Jackson and Tom Begich.

Kawasaki said suicide is something that has touched almost every Alaskan including many legislators and himself. “It was a bit personal,” Kawasaki said about drafting the legislation. He said he was shocked himself last fall when a “bright, vivacious, talented” friend completed suicide. Alaska has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation, and a new study released in December indicated there was a 13 percent increase in suicides between 2012 and 2017 compared to a similar period from 2007 to 2011. The Associated Press reported that suicide was the leading cause of death for people between the See BILL, page A2

that was missing for years

Big splashes and even bigger smiles were in abundance at the Nikiski Pool’s first-ever Cannonball Contest Thursday. The event was free, and contestants were divided into three age categories that each went through three rounds of jumps. Volunteer judges Jenny Long and Treasa Cooper scored the jumps on style and splash size.

ANCHORAGE (AP) — A Wasilla woman has been reunited with a cat that disappeared more than three years ago from its home at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. The Anchorage Daily News reports that a woman at the base messaged Lynsey Ryan that a stray cat she had fed for months resembled a photo posted on Facebook missing-pets pages. The feline was indeed

Winter, the missing cat. A microchip implanted beneath its skin confirmed the identity. Ryan, who now has Winter, first met the cat when it was rescued in 2014 from a Houston home. Ryan, a rescue group volunteer, fostered the cat before finding it what she thought was a good home at the base. The cat disappeared in 2015.

New youth podcast launches in Ketchikan

be drawn out. “I would love it to not only be a platform for community discussion and professional development, but I’d like it to also instill the Socratic method into Ketchikan culture,” Bruce said. Bruce said he wants the humor that the group naturally engages in and the participants’ insights on controversial topics to shine through. Otos said the idea for a youth podcast came from Ketchikan Youth Initiatives Administrator

Bobbie McCreary. “I thought it was just genius,” Otos said, “because I’ve always wanted a platform for youth to come and really speak their minds.” Otos added that it always had been a goal of his, to find ways to fight against the old idea that young people should not “speak until spoken to.” Otos emphasized that the podcast will cover such broad topics — some controversial and broad reaching — that the episodes will

be interesting for adults as well as young people. Participants in the podcasts will vary, and special guests will be featured in some. Ketchikan Youth Court, where Otos has worked for many years, has collaborated many times with Ketchikan Youth Initiatives, Otos said, so working together on the podcast seemed natural. Bruce, who is working with KYI to reorganize and revitalize the organization, said the podcast is one part of his plan to improve KYI’s ability to serve Ketchikan’s

youth. Not only is he working to create a sustainable funding plan, but he also is focused on increasing the transparency of the organization’s operations. “My role is going to be public relations, community outreach, program development,” Bruce said. The KYI organization has created a skate park and a paintball venue, and has been working to finish its Community Youth Center on Park Avenue for many years. Bruce said the Youth Center is a huge part of what he’s pushing to finish, with a grand opening by late February. Bruce moved to Ketchikan on Oct. 13, and started working with KYI a month later, jumping in to learn as much as possible about the organization and to solve the challenges it’s been facing. He also has a broader vision for his role in town. “I’m not here just to serve KYI,” Bruce said. “I’m here to serve Ketchikan as a community” by getting out and volunteering in many areas. Bruce is working on the KYI website, as well as creating a page on the Patreon website, where people can go to learn about an organization or artist and sign up to donate to them as well. “I want it to be accessible,” Bruce said. “I want to build that culture in Ketchikan that everyone can give one dollar a month — 12 bucks a year — and that would be enough to make the program a huge success.” In Friday’s premiere podcast, attendees introduced

workshops and learned all the methods needed to produce that clothing so I understood what I was trying to replicate before just looking at a picture in a book and trying to make it look something like that.” The Dena’ina culture is a matriarchal society. Olga was an elder and a leader in Dena’ina land north of Anchorage. Isaak said the piece was not only honoring Dena’ina history and heritage, but also women in our society. “Honoring our indigenous women and women everywhere

— our society is based off of that model so there’s strong precedent for making an elder and then having the elder be a woman,” Isaak said. “I think it’s poignant in our current situation for the need to honor and respect women in our state and in the world, but especially with the current statistics. Bringing a visual voice to honor the role that women have in our society and culture.” Born and raised in Soldotna, Isaak has many connections to Dena’ina culture, and even Olga herself. His family comes from the Upper Cook Inlet area

in Point Possession. He said he’s distantly related to Olga, going back several generations. “I’ve always had a strong desire to be connected to my indigenous Native culture and all the different cultures that my family comes from,” Isaak said. “But living here in Soldotna on Dena’ina land there has been a very strong desire from me from a very early age to learn my language and material culture.” In Dena’ina culture, clothing is used as fine art. Dena’ina people were semi-nomadic or sedentary and would move be-

tween summer fish camp and a winter village, which was sometimes in almost the same spot, Isaak said. For this reason, art would move with the people in the form of clothing, which would represent things like where a person was from and what family they belonged to. “You put (your art) on your clothing and you bring it with you,” Isaak said. “So the quill work design in the shape of the tunic can tell where you’re from — it can tell your clan information. It’s a form of visual written communication that we don’t re-

ally have that Rosetta Stone for. It served as a function for that and it also brings in that visual fine art. We just brought it with us everywhere instead of leaving it behind glass or in a frame.” The statue is near Anchorage’s downtown, which a busy and growing part of the city. Isaak said the statue is a reminder of the area’s past. “Having it be in Anchorage is making invisible people visible,” Isaak said. “It’s surrounded by this growing city, but we’re still here and making that visual presence.”

five days I can get sleep.” The earthquake buckled roads and some homes and buildings sustained heavy damage, with initial estimates to repair damage and other costs at about $100 million. But most parts of Anchorage and other areas escaped the type of widespread catastrophic damage that happened in a devastating 1964 earthquake because of strict building codes that were put in place after that quake, which had a magnitude of 9.2 and was the second most powerful quake recorded on the planet. No deaths or serious injuries were reported after the quake seven weeks ago, but federal officials soon declared a public

health emergency and mental health aid was made available for people traumatized by the event. School counselors were swamped and crisis counselors were brought in from Oregon to help at several Anchorage-area schools. Therapists and other professionals struggled to meet demand from a nervous public. Mental health providers say the rush of new patients has slowed, but they still treat clients rattled by the aftershocks, which strike without warning or any apparent pattern. “It’s overwhelming for people, and they feel emotionally out of control,” said Deborah Gonzales, a licensed clinical social worker in Anchorage. Gonzales said people tell her

they can’t stand the shaking and don’t feel safe anywhere. Some are considering moving out of state while others say they feel “crazy” — feelings Gonzales called “100 percent normal.” For Connor, every noticeable shake triggers feelings of vulnerability, said his mother, Tamra Cartwright, adding that many of her friends’ children also struggle with quake-related fears. Tamra Cartwright said her husband was at work when the main quake struck, but she and her sons ran out of the house and hugged each other as they huddled together outside. Along with broken family items, the only damage to their home was an existing hairline

wall crack that was made wider. But Connor couldn’t sleep in his own bed for weeks and only just returned to it. His mother said she “totally” hates the aftershocks, but tries to “be strong for my kids.” Lifelong Alaskan Robert Bell was 12 during the 1964 earthquake and remembers it as a rolling action while the recent quake was more of a back-andforth movement that felt more violent even though it wasn’t as powerful. The recent quake and its aftershocks have been like reliving that youthful experience over and over, Bell said. Bell, who worked in construction for years, built his own home and says it’s safe and solid. But his heart races when

the aftershocks hit. “You don’t know when the next one’s going to hit — that’s been unnerving,” he said. They’re also unsettling for Ethel Sechlera. But the Anchorage supermarket cashier considers them a way for the ground to let out seismic pressures. “I’d rather have the little aftershocks to keep from having the big one hit,” she said. Others shrug off the aftershocks as part of daily life in the most seismically active region of the U.S. “I guess I’m a special kind of case because I don’t really mind it so much,” said Isaiah Sagayo. “I just continue on.”

actively broadening the public’s awareness of suicide prevention, and coordinating the efforts of other suicide prevention entities including State agencies, regional groups, coalitions, and local communities.” Although this bill has gained support, it has not yet had a hearing, neither has it been referred to a committee. Moving forward, Kawasaki hopes to continue working with the Statewide Council on Suicide. “I hope we can meet with the council members to implement tangible ways that we can address suicide prevention,” Kawasaki said. Stevens on the House Also during the Senate Floor Session, Sen. Gary Stevens, a Republican from Kodiak, asked permission “to speak fondly of the other body,” before lamenting the House of Representatives’ lack of leadership. Although the House selected a temporary speaker in Rep. Neal Foster, D-Nome, the House remains unorganized

and consequently ineffective. Without organization and a permanent speaker, the House cannot conduct regular business such as assigning members to committees or moving bills to committees to edge them closer to passage. “As we walk through these halls of this historic and sacred building, all we hear is the sound of silence,” Stevens said as he addressed Senate President Cathy Giessel. “Mr. Speaker, my old friend, will we ever have a real speaker again? Apologies to Paul Simon and to you, madame president, I promise not to sing.” Stevens also touched briefly on the friendly rivalry between the Senate and House, and the different cultures within each. “It really takes the other body to make the Senate look good. It’s a truly lonely here, I believe, by ourselves and the other body is truly missed,” Stevens said. The House session on Friday was canceled. The next floor session has not been scheduled.

KETCHIKAN — Ketchikan’s young people have a new venue to make their voices heard, with “KTown: A Youth Podcast.” In the premiere episode released Friday, listeners were led through a dizzying array of topics by podcasters Jefferson Barry, Hiro Fifield, Nathaniel Johnson, Caleb Strait and Evan Yoder. The podcast was led by host Austin Otos, of Ketchikan Youth Court, and co-host, Americorp Vista Ketchikan Youth Initiatives volunteer John Bruce. The podcast is affiliated with Ketchikan Youth Initiatives. It is recorded and edited at the KRBD-FM studio, and editions are planned to be posted on the radio station’s website and the podcast’s Facebook site as well as on various social media platforms. Friday’s episode began with introductions and a discussion of each participant’s goals for the podcast series. Otos described his vision. “I really see this as a mini platform for youth to come together and discuss controversial topics, or just local events that are going on. I’d like to just broadcast through the airwaves that youth message; to really empower them,” he said. Bruce, who in college was a philosophy major with a focus on ethics and diversity, expressed his vision for the style of debate in the podcasts, with open dialogue and much discussion in which the truth and wisdom of a topic could

ages of 10 and 64, according to the analysis by state health officials. The rates were highest in northern and southwestern communities. The largest increase, however, was along the state’s Railbelt. The Statewide Suicide Prevention Council advises the governor and legislators on policy. It also works with communities, educators and faith groups to prevent suicide in Alaska. The Legislative Audit Committee’s annual report, which was signed and released last week, recommended the council’s term be extended. The report’s purpose is to give an opinion on basic financial statements and whether the organization is worth the money. The audit found the council “fulfilled its statutory duties.” “The audit found the council operated in the public’s interest,” the report reads, “by

themselves, ribbed each other and laughed a lot. Johnson mentioned how he is willing to act like “a professional idiot” to elicit laughs, adding that he also is “sometimes smart, sometimes philosophical and other times — hungry.” Strait mentioned his interest in promoting the art shop at the Community Youth Center. The youngest podcaster in Friday’s episode, Jefferson Barry, said that the paintball team and the Dungeons and Dragons game nights were very important KYI activities for him. As the premiere episode rolled forward on Dec. 10, 2018, the participants pinballed from one topic to another, from the role of swearing in society, to spaghetti squash, the description of Dungeons and Dragons gaming, politics, pseudoscience, the ethics of incarceration, the role of war in global relations, wars over potatoes and bananas, teleportation, attacking ostriches and the podcasters’ most dreamed-of inventions. To wrap up the episode, each podcaster offered their final thoughts and were given a chance to promote a cause or organization they believe in. Johnson had advice for listeners of “KTown: A Youth Podcast.” “I want to say a warning, like, don’t come to this and expect to hear your exact opinion,” he said, adding, “Come into this with an open mind, rather than a closed one, and just sit back and enjoy it overall.”

spond to Alaska’s Energy Desk, possibly because of the federal government shutdown. Eric Regehr, a University of Washington polar bear researcher who has worked in Alaska, said it’s unusual for the bears to venture far outside their normal territory. The bear was shot more

than 100 miles south of the Beaufort Sea coastline. He said the animals usually stay within a few miles of the coast, except for some pregnant females who may go farther inland to build their dens. Regehr said it’s hard to say why a bear wandered so far from its range. “It seems to particularly happen with young bears,� he said. “And it’s not clear if they’re dispersing, looking for new habitat. It’s not clear if they got, you know,

mixed up, if they’re just inexperienced and they went the wrong way.� Diminishing sea ice caused by climate change may lead some bears to appear in unusual places, he said. But sea ice is present at this time of year, so that doesn’t seem to be a likely explanation, Regehr said. A polar bear was seen in 2008 in the village of Fort Yukon, about 110 miles south of Arctic Village, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

Some participants were shooting for style points and showed off their skills with back-flips, front-flips, and mid-air twists. Others stuck to the traditional cannonball and just focused on making the biggest splash. Regardless of technique, the audience and the judges were clearly impressed by the talent.

There was fierce competition in the under-10 age group. After the three rounds of jumps, three contestants emerged with the same top score. A tie-breaker round determined which cannonballer was launched to the winner’s circle. The 10-to-15 age group also required a tie-breaker round, with two siblings going head-to-head for a chance at victory — and more importantly — bragging rights. The 16-plus age group, however, had a clear win-

The politics making Americans sick

Transportation Security Administration agents are doing their part as the partial government shutdown drags on — at least Serving the Kenai Peninsula since 1970 some of them are. Forced to work without pay, some are expressing their disgust by Terry R. Ward calling out sick in ever-increasing numPublisher bers.

So it may seem DOUG MUNN....................................................... Circulation Director counterintuitive, but if you know one of FRANK GOLDTHWAITE.................................... Production Manager them personally, feel free to show your support with a warm “Thank you for not serving.” At least they’re taking action with their inaction. It’s far too easy to sustain this absurd political gamesmanship simply by declaring that certain federal workers are “essential” and forcing them to stay on the job without pay. That way, critical services, like law enforcement, are continued. As for the hundreds of thousands of unpaid federal workers who can’t keep up with their bills, obviously this president — whose stubbornness is causing their plight — has moved them down on his list of priorities. Walled them off, so to speak. He’s definitely not feeling their pain, no matter how much he claims to “relate.” The problem is that there’s not enough pain, certainly not for Trump. If someone with political clout squeals a little — say, the food industry, which can’t, uh, stomach the idea that people are avoiding their farm products — he waves his ex-

What Others Say

Don’t count on Democrats’ tax breaks stopping with the 1 percent

ecutive-order wand and brings back inspectors. Speaking of farmers, who generally are part of Trump’s rural base, Department of Agriculture employees were ordered to return to process Bob Franken vital loans and subsidies, along with IRS workers to deal with tax refunds. You can count on Donald Trump: Just be the squeaky wheel, and the Trump administration will simply make another exception and order a batch of federal workers back on the clock. Mostly unpaid, of course. Therein might lie the problem. A few are arguing that the stakes are too low. If you’re going to have a shutdown, they contend, let’s have a complete shutdown, not just a selective plaything for the politicians. What is the term the Trumpsters used in another context? Oh yeah, it was “zero tolerance.” Let’s apply that mindset to shutdown politics. Zero federal employees go to work. No FBI agents, no air traffic controllers, zippo. Let the American people deal with a complete absence of services, not just the ones someone deems “unessential.” By the way, once again I need to mention that my wife works for

the federal government. She has not been designated “essential,” but she certainly is to me. Asked whether I’m “essential” to her, she would neither confirm nor deny. Back to the shutdown. However it ends up, at least it exposes one institution for the crock that it is. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, showing she’s no slouch in a knife fight, is really sticking it to Donald Trump. In effect, she disinvited him from appearing before Congress for the State of the Union address. Wouldn’t it be fabulous if it was permanently canceled, this annual slobberfest, with its phony bonhomie and pageantry? Donnie loves it, so he was not about to just absorb this attack on his manhood. It wasn’t long before he took his own shot: Pelosi was about to lead a congressional delegation on a trip to Afghanistan. That’s one of the perks of being a member, the so-called CODELS, otherwise known as junkets. They are supposed to inform representatives and senators on the ways of the world. As often as not, their studies abroad take them to places like Paris, or in winter, to tropical beaches. Trump pulled the military planes that were taking this particular group to Afghanistan. Take that, Nancy! So it’s not just the TSA officers. All Americans should be sick, as we all are threatened by this national debilitating disease. It’s called politics.

By now readers have heard that

progressive luminary Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC for groupies) supports a 70% top marginal tax rate, which she says will help finance a “green new deal.” Higher taxes on the rich is the stock socialist answer on how to pay for any project, though a reminder arrived this week that soaking the wealthy will barely register as a down payment. The Tax Foundation on Monday did Ms. Ocasio-Cortez the favor of taking her proposal seriously and asked: How much money would the government reap from a 70% tax rate on income above $10 million? Authors Kyle Pomerleau and Huaqun Li looked at two scenarios — one if the rate applied only to ordinary income like wages and interest, and another if it also applied to income from capital gains. The best case scenario: a 70% rate would raise less than $300 billion in revenue over 10 years, which is less than half of the $700 billion that has been cited in press reports. Progressives aren’t eager to put a price tag on the green new deal, which includes modest proposals like a universal jobs guarantee. But you can bet that ridding the economy of carbon will cost into the trillions of dollars. A 70% top rate would generate even less revenue if extended to capital gains. Investors only pay when they realize gains by selling assets, and they are especially sensitive to tax rates when deciding whether to sell. High rates can leave money locked into a current asset instead of flowing to the next good idea. When the Tax Foundation authors considered the effect on behavior and incentives — why bother with that extra investment if most of the money will go to government? — they found that a 70% top rate on all income would lose the government $63.5 billion over 10 years. News and Politics Ms. Ocasio-Cortez won’t admit it, but she and her socialist friends will eventually have to go where the real money is: The middle class. That means higher tax rates on even modest wage earners; taxes on retirement savings like 401(k)s or college savings accounts.

Letters to the Editor:

She demurred when asked if that strategy would change. A wait-and-see approach works for now, but groups that actively bolster female candidates could face pressure to align with specific campaigns as the primary goes on. Deirdre Schifeling, executive director of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said only that the group’s estimated 12 million backers are dedicated to defeating President Donald Trump and that she looks forward to working with “all candidates” in the primary. NARAL Pro-Choice America’s president, Ilyse Hogue, said the abortion rights group has made no firm decision about whether to eventually back one or more Democratic hopefuls and that “we see it as a plus, not a minus, if we haven’t endorsed by the Iowa caucus” because it means that members see multiple candidates supporting their goals. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren last month became the first woman to launch a presidential exploratory effort, joined shortly afterward by New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota also are considering running. Among that top tier of female candidates, Gillibrand is particularly vocal in invoking her gender as a driver of her campaign. She put women’s priorities and perspective at the forefront of her launch this week. She pledged to fight for children and highlighted her work on behalf of sexual misconduct victims. Gillibrand was one of the few prominent 2020 Democrats who attended a Women’s March event this year amid anti-Semitism charges that have plagued the event’s national leadership team. But the senator said the controversy wouldn’t disrupt her commitment to the march’s broader mission.

Gillibrand also praised Iowa voters for sending two women represent the state in Congress. “This is what changing the face of leadership looks like,” she said. “The truth is if we change who’s at the decision-making table, we change everything. Now is our time to reclaim our power. Now is our time to raise our voices,” she told activists gathered at Iowa’s Capitol. Warren’s campaign has so far emphasized racial and economic inequity more than gender. Pundits are already speculating about her and Gillibrand’s “likability” a reminder, for some influential women, of the uneven playing field that Clinton faced challenging Trump. Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii recalled “all kinds of strange attitudes that come out” when women seek executive office and called for “more attention paid” to gender bias given the historic success of female candidates in 2018. The presence of several women in the presidential field, activists and analysts say, hopefully can make it easier to identify and address sexism. “Because there are so many women running, it doesn’t totally inoculate women from sexism, but it does provide some guardrails,” said Shaunna Thomas, executive director of Ultraviolet, a group advocating for gender equality throughout American life. Kelly Dittmar, a scholar at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, said, “The fact that we’re willing to call it out, that’s where the progress is. We have to just be realistic that racism and sexism within our institutions are really deep-seated.” Cecile Richards, who led Planned Parenthood for 12 years, predicted that the high-profile female Democratic candidates would push their male counterparts to work harder to appeal to female voters.

Trump offers lawmakers temporary Trump says ‘things are going very well’ ‘Dreamers’ deal for border wall with North Korea

By JILL COLVIN, CATHERINE LUCEY and ZEKE MILLER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In a bid to break the shutdown stalemate, President Donald Trump on Saturday offered to extend temporary protections for young people brought to the U.S. illegally as children and those fleeing disaster zones in exchange for his long-promised border wall. But while Trump cast the move as a “common-sense compromise,” Democrats were quick to dismiss it at a “non-starter.” With polls showing a majority of Americans blaming him and Republicans for the impasse, Trump said from the White House that he was there “to break the logjam and provide Congress with a path forward to end the government shutdown and solve the crisis on the southern border.” Hoping to put pressure on Democrats, the White House billed the announcement as a major step forward. But Trump did not budge on his $5.7 billion demand for the wall and, in essence, offered to temporarily roll-back some of his own hawkish immigration actions — actions that have been blocked by federal courts. Following a week marked by his pointed clashes with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, it was not clear if Trump’s offer would lead to serious steps to reopen the government, shut for a record 29 days. Trump’s move came as hundreds of thousands of federal workers go without paychecks, with many enduring financial hardship. Many public services are unavailable to Americans during the closure. Democrats dismissed

Trump’s proposal even before his formal remarks. Pelosi said the expected offer was nothing more than “a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives” and that the effort could not pass the House “What is original in the President’s proposal is not good. What is good in the proposal is not original,” she later tweeted. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also panned the proposal as “more hostage taking,” saying that it was Trump who had “single-handedly” imperiled the future of the immigrants he proposed to help. The New York Democrat said there is only “one way out” of the shutdown. “Open up the government, Mr. President, and then Democrats and Republicans can have a civil discussion and come up with bipartisan solutions.” he said.

Democrats had made their own move late Friday to try to break the impasse when they pledged to provide hundreds of millions of dollars more for border security. But Trump, who has yet to acknowledge that offer, laid out his own plan, which officials said had been in the works for days. Seeking to cast the plan as a bipartisan way forward, Trump said Saturday he was incorporating ideas from “rank-and-file” Democrats, as top Democrats made clear they had not been consulted. He also said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would bring the legislation to a vote this week, though Democrats appeared likely to block it. McConnell had previously stated that no vote should be held in the Senate until Trump and Democrats agreed on a bill. Trump’s remarks from the

Diplomatic Room marked the second time he has addressed the nation as the partial shutdown drags on. On this occasion, he sought to strike a diplomatic tone, emphasizing the need to work across the aisle. He maintained a border barrier was needed to block what he describes as the flow of drugs and crime into the country — but described “steel barriers in high-priority locations” instead of “a 2,000-mile concrete structure from sea to sea.” The proposal was met with immediate criticism from some conservative corners, including NumbersUSA, which seeks to reduce both legal and illegal immigration to the U.S. “The offer the President announced today is a loser for the forgotten American workers who were central to his campaign promises,” said Roy Beck, the group’s president.

A scaled-down Women’s March returns By ASHRAF KHALIL Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Amid internal controversies and a capital city deeply distracted by the partial government shutdown, the third Women’s March returned to Washington on Saturday with an enduring message of anger and defiance aimed directly at President Donald Trump’s White House. The original march in 2017, the day after Trump’s inauguration, flooded the city with pinkhatted protesters. The exact size of the turnout remains subject to a politically charged debate, but it’s generally regarded as the largest Washington protest since the Vietnam era. This year was a more modest affair for multiple reasons. An estimated 100,000 protesters packed several blocks around Freedom Plaza, just east of the White House, holding a daylong rally. The march itself took about an hour and only moved about four blocks west along Pennsylvania Avenue past the Trump International Hotel before looping back to Freedom Plaza. Organizers submitted a permit application estimating up to 500,000 participants even though it was widely expected that the turnout would be smaller. The original plan was to gather on the National Mall.

But with the forecast calling for snow and freezing rain and the National Park Service no longer plowing snow because of the shutdown, organizers on Thursday changed the march’s location and route. As it turned out the weather was chilly but otherwise pleasant, and the mood among the marchers a now-familiar mix of sister-power camaraderie and defiant anger toward Trump and the larger power structure. As always the Trump administration was the direct target of most of the abuse — with fresh bitterness stemming from more recent events like Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s successful confirmation last fall despite a direct accusa-

tion of sexual misconduct when he was in high school. One sign declared, “Strong women only fear weak men.” Another stated, “MOOD: Still pretty mad about Kavanaugh.” Parallel marches took place in dozens of cities around the country. In Los Angeles, a few hundred demonstrators gathered in Pershing Square downtown and marched to Grand Park. “Democracy is not a spectator sport and I came out to continue to stand for that proposition, said Ellen Klugman of Marina Del Rey. “If I don’t go, who will?” In Denver, protester Jacquelynn Sigl said it’s a mistake to focus solely on Trump.

“It’s not OK, the rhetoric the president has today, but it’s also important to know this isn’t an anti-Trump rally,” she said. “This isn’t about him. It’s about the thought that’s running across the country right now.” Preparations for this year’s march were roiled by an intense ideological debate among the movement’s senior leadership. In November, Teresa Shook, one of the movement’s founders, accused the four main leaders of the national march organization of anti-Semitism. The accusation was leveled at two primary leaders: Linda Sarsour, a PalestinianAmerican who has frequently criticized Israeli policies, and Tamika Mallory, who has maintained a public association with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. Shook, a retired lawyer from Hawaii, has been credited with sparking the movement by creating a Facebook event that went viral and snowballed into the massive protest on Jan. 21, 2017. In a recent Facebook post, she claimed Sarsour and Mallory, along with fellow organizers Bob Bland and Carmen Perez, had “steered the Movement away from its true course” and called for all four to step down.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Saturday that “things are going very well with North Korea” and he plans a second summit with leader Kim Jong Un to try to broker a deal that would entice the North to give up its nuclear weapons. “We’ve agreed to meet sometime probably the end of February. We’ve picked a country, but we’ll be announcing it in the future. Kim Jong Un is looking very forward to it and so am I,” the president told reporters Saturday at the White House. The initial news of a second meeting with the reclusive North Korean leader came after Trump’s 90-minute session Friday in the Oval Office with a North Korean envoy, Kim Yong Chol, who traveled to Washington to discuss denuclearization talks. “We have made a lot of progress as far as denuclearization is concerned and we’re talking about a lot of different things,” Trump said, adding it’s “not been reported, unfortunately, but it will be. Things are going very with North Korea.” In May, North Korea released three American detainees and sent them home with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after his meeting with the North Korean leader in Pyongyang. The second summit signals stepped-up efforts by both countries to continue talks. Trump has exchanged letters with the North Korean leader amid little tangible progress on the vague denuclearization agreement reached at their first meeting last June in Singapore. U.N. Secretary-General An-

tonio Guterres said “it’s high time” for serious negotiations between the United States and North Korea to outline a road map for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. The U.N. chief said New York on Friday that would allow both sides “to know exactly what the next steps will be, and to have predictability in the way negotiations take place.” Trump has spoken several times of having a second summit early this year. Vietnam has been considered as a possible summit venue, along with Thailand, Hawaii and Singapore. Since the Singapore talks, several private analysts have published reports detailing continuing North Korean development of nuclear and missile technology. A planned meeting between Pompeo and the envoy, who is North Korea’s former spy chief, in New York last November was abruptly canceled. U.S. officials said at the time that North Korea had called off the session. The special U.S. envoy for North Korea negotiations, Steve Biegun, planned to travel to Sweden for further talks over the weekend. The talks have stalled over North Korea’s refusal to provide a detailed accounting of its nuclear and missile facilities that would be used by inspectors to verify any deal to dismantle them. The North also has demanded that the U.S. end harsh economic penalties and provide security guarantees before it takes any steps beyond its initial suspension of nuclear and missile tests. Harry Kazianis, a North Korea expert at the Center for National Interest, said any talks between the two nations are a positive development, but the hard work of negotiating an agreement has only begun.

Today in History Today is Sunday, Jan. 20, the 20th day of 2019. There are 345 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 20, 2017, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, pledging emphatically to empower America’s “forgotten men and women.” Protesters registered their rage against the new president in a chaotic confrontation with police just blocks from the inaugural parade. On this date: In 1649, King Charles I of England went on trial, accused of high treason (he was found guilty and executed by month’s end). In 1887, the U.S. Senate approved an agreement to lease Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as a naval base. In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first chief executive to be inaugurated on Jan. 20 instead of March 4. In 1942, Nazi officials held the notorious Wannsee conference, during which they arrived at their “final solution” that called for exterminating Europe’s Jews. In 1953, Dwight D. Eisenhower took the oath of office as president of the United States; Richard M. Nixon was sworn in as vice president. In 1964, Capitol Records released the album “Meet the Beatles!” In 1969, Richard M. Nixon was inaugurated as the 37th President of the United States. In 1981, Iran released 52 Americans it had held hostage for 444 days, minutes after the presidency had passed from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan. In 1986, the United States observed the first federal holiday in honor of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. In 1989, George H.W. Bush was sworn in as the 41st president of the United States; Dan Quayle was sworn in as vice president. In 1994, Shannon Faulkner became the first woman to attend classes at The Citadel in South Carolina. (Faulkner joined the cadet corps in Aug. 1995 under court order but soon dropped out, citing isolation and stress from the legal battle.) In 2001, George Walker Bush became America’s 43rd president after one of the most turbulent elections in U.S. history.

Mexican pipeline explosion kills 73, leaves nightmare of ash By MARK STEVENSON Associated Press

TLAHUELILPAN, Mexico — Gerardo Perez returned Saturday to the scorched field in central Mexico where he’d seen an illegal pipeline tap burst into flames to see if he could recognize missing friends. He couldn’t. Only a handful of the remains still had skin. Dozens were burned to the bone or to ash when the gusher of gasoline exploded, killing at least 73 people. Perez said he and his son bypassed soldiers and ignored warnings to stay clear of the geyser Friday evening in the town of Tlahuelilpan in Hidalgo state, about 62 miles north of Mexico City. “We’re stubborn,” he said. But as Perez neared the spurting fuel, he was overcome with foreboding. He recalls telling his son: “Let’s go … this thing is going to explode.” And it did, with the fireball engulfing locals collecting the spilling gasoline in buckets, jugs and garbage cans. Video footage showed flames shooting high into the night sky, and screaming people running from the explosion, some themselves burning and waving their arms. Perez and his son made it out. By Saturday evening the death toll had risen to 73, according to Hidalgo Gov. Omar Fayad. Officials said at least another 74 were injured and dozens more were missing. Fifty-four bodies have yet to be identified. Forensic experts were separating and counting charred heaps of corpses while an-

guished relatives of those presumed dead gathered around the scene of carnage. Just a few feet from where the pipeline passed through an alfalfa field, the dead seem to have fallen in heaps, perhaps as they stumbled over each other or tried to help one another as the geyser of gasoline turned to flames. Several of the deceased lay on their backs, their arms stretched out in agony. Some seemed to have covered their chests in a last attempt to protect themselves from the blast. A few corpses seemed to embrace each other in death. Lost shoes were scattered around

a space the size of a soccer field, as were half-melted plastic jugs the victims carried to gather spilling fuel. Closer to the explosion, forensic workers marked mounds of ash with numbers. On Friday, hundreds of people had gathered in an almost festive atmosphere in a field where a duct had been perforated by fuel thieves and gasoline spewed 20 feet into the air. State oil company Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, said the pipeline, which supplies much of central Mexico with fuel, had just reopened after being shut since Dec. 23 and that it had been breached 10 times

over three months. The tragedy came just three weeks after President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador launched an offensive against fuel theft gangs that have drilled dangerous, illegal taps into pipelines an astounding 12,581 times in the first 10 months of 2018, an average of about 42 per day. The crackdown has led to widespread fuel shortages at gas stations throughout the country as Pemex deviates distribution, both licit and illicit. Lopez Obrador vowed on Saturday to continue the fight against a practice that steals about $3 billion per year in fuel.

US airstrike in Somalia kills 52 al-Shabab extremists By CARA ANNA Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG — The U.S. military on Saturday said it had carried out its deadliest airstrike in Somalia in months, killing 52 al-Shabab extremists after a “large group” mounted an attack on Somali forces. The U.S. Africa Command said the airstrike occurred near Jilib in Middle Juba region. There were no reports of Americans killed or wounded. The U.S. statement did not say whether any Somali forces were killed or wounded by the al-Qaida-linked extremists. AlShabab via its Shahada news agency asserted that its attack on two Somali army bases killed at least 41 soldiers. It described the location as the Bar Sanjuni area near the port city of Kismayo. There was no immediate comment from Somalia’s government. In neighboring Ethiopia, state television cited the defense ministry as saying more than 60 alShabab fighters had been killed and that four vehicles loaded with explosives had been “destroyed.” Ethiopia contributes troops to a multinational African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia and has troops there independently under Ethiopian army command. A Somali intelligence officer said al-Shabab had been amassing fighters for more than a week to launch a major attack against Somali and Kenyan forces in order to disrupt a planned offensive against the extremists. The officer said some 400 extremists, including foreign ones, had been prepared, including two suicide car bombers. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not autho-

rized to speak to reporters. Al-Shabab controls large parts of rural southern and central Somalia and continues to carry out high-profile suicide bombings and other attacks in the capital, Mogadishu, and elsewhere. The Islamic extremist group claimed responsibility for the deadly attack on a luxury hotel complex in the capital of neighboring Kenya on Tuesday, the latest high-toll assault inside that county in retaliation for Kenya sending troops to Somalia to fight al-Shabab. The extremist group finds itself under pressure at home on a number of fronts, including from a small presence of rival fighters linked to the Islamic State organization, which has begun challenging al-Shabab in recent months. The United States has dramatically stepped up airstrikes against al-Shabab in Somalia since President Donald Trump took office, carrying out at least 47 such strikes last year. Some have targeted top al-Shabab leaders or key financial officials; the extremist group funds its attacks with an extensive network of “taxation” and extortion. In October, the U.S. said an airstrike killed about 60 fighters near the al-Shabab-controlled community of Harardere in Mudug province in the central part of the country. The airstrikes hamper the extremist group but have not “seriously degraded alShabab’s capability to mount strikes either inside or outside Somalia,” Matt Bryden of Sahan Research, an expert on the extremists, told The Associated Press after the Nairobi hotel attack.

Survivors: Up to 117 missing from sunken boat off Libya By FRANCES D’EMILIO Associated Press

ROME — Three survivors of a rubber dinghy that sank in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Libya say up to 117 other migrants were aboard at the time, a U.N. migration official said Saturday. It appeared to be the latest tragedy on the dangerous central Mediterranean route from North Africa to Europe. Flavio Di Giacomo of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) told Italian state TV that “unfortunately about 120” migrants were reported by

survivors to have been on the overloaded smugglers’ dinghy when it was launched from Libyan shores on Thursday evening. “After a few hours, it began sinking and people began drowning,” Di Giacomo said. Among the missing are 10 women and two children, including a two-month-old baby, he said. Survivors indicated their fellow migrants came from Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Gambia and Sudan, Di Giacomo said. Italian President Sergio Mattarella, who has urged that the government show more compassion for migrants, expressed his “deep sorrow for the tragedy that

has taken place in the Mediterranean.” Premier Giuseppe Conte told reporters he was “shocked” at the reports of the sinking and vowed that Italy would continue to combat human traffickers. Italy’s populist government has banned private rescue boats from bringing migrants to Italian shores. Together with Malta, Italy has also launched probes of the rescue groups themselves, claiming their operations might facilitate trafficking. The three survivors of the sinking were plucked to safety by an Italian navy helicopter on Friday afternoon, the navy said.

The Italian navy said when its patrol plane first spotted the sinking dinghy it had about 20 persons aboard. The plane’s crew launched two life rafts near the dinghy, which inflated, and a navy destroyer 100 nautical (200 kilometers) away sent a helicopter to the scene. That helicopter rescued the survivors, two from a life raft and one from the water, the navy said, adding that all had hypothermia. They were flown to Lampedusa, an Italian island near Sicily, and treated in a hospital, Di Giacomo said. Many migrants cannot afford to pay for life vests, an extra

cost when boarding a smuggler’s boat in Libya. The survivors said the migrants aboard the dinghy didn’t have any. It wasn’t immediately clear exactly how many migrants might have died before the navy plane spotted the sinking dinghy. The Italian Coast Guard says Libya asked a nearby cargo ship to search for survivors but the ship reported it found no one. Libyan navy spokesman Ayoub Gassim said one of its boats was sent Friday to the scene but it “had a mechanical issue and we had to call it back.” The official said 50 migrants were believed to have been aboard the

dinghy when it set sail. According to the IOM, at least 2,297 people died at sea or went missing trying to reach Europe in 2018. In all, 116,959 migrants reached Europe by sea routes last year, it says. The U.N. refugee agency UNHCR, said Saturday it was “appalled” at the news of the latest migrant deaths in the Mediterranean. In a statement from its Geneva headquarters, it said in addition to those missing off Libya, 53 people died in recent days in the western Mediterranean, where one survivor was rescued by a fishing boat after being stranded for more than 24 hours at sea.

Mothers of slain Nicaraguan students seek justice By CHRISTOPHER SHERMAN Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — The two mothers walked shoulder-toshoulder ahead of a casket in the northern Nicaraguan city of Esteli, wailing in shared grief at the killings of their sons during a wave of anti-government protests. Francisca Machado was accompanying the casket holding her 24-year-old son Franco Valdivia Machado’s body to the cemetery on that April day. Socorro Corrales had just buried her own son, 23-year-old Orlando Perez Corrales, the day before. From that image of solidarity was born a movement that became the Mothers of April, formed by relatives of many of the 325 people killed in the government suppression of the student-led protests. Its members are demanding justice from President Daniel Ortega, who has tightened his grip on power and targeted voices of dissent, arresting hundreds and closing media outlets and human rights groups in the aftermath of the protests. The group is preparing for a long struggle for accountability for the killers of their children from a government that has labeled the protesters criminals and coup-plotters. Three of its nine leaders have fled Nicaragua, fearing for their own safety. “We don’t want to think about many years passing, but part of our responsibility is to prepare

for that scenario,” said Francys Valdivia Machado, whose younger brother was buried on April 22. Nicaragua’s mothers are drawing on the experiences of the best-known such group, Argentina’s Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, and the more recently organized Mothers of Ayotzinapa in Mexico. About 150 families are involved in the Nicaraguan movement. Valdivia and Perez were both

university students, the former a third-year law student with a 5-year-old daughter, the latter about to complete his engineering degree. Valdivia composed socially conscious rap music under the name “Renfan” and loved baseball; Perez was active in his church’s outreach, especially with the elderly. They did not know each other but were standing near one another on the evening of April 20

during a protest against social security cuts in an Esteli park. Perez fell first. Valdivia started to move toward him when he was shot in the head. Their families believe they were both shot by a sniper firing from City Hall. Fifteen minutes before Valdivia was shot, he had denounced authorities’ use of force against peaceful protesters on a Facebook video holding what appeared to be a rubber bul-

let in his hand. The nationwide protests began April 18, initially drawing mostly senior citizens who were the most directly impacted by the announced social security cuts. When the elderly protesters were met with violence from pro-government Sandinista Youth thugs, students turned out in large numbers to defend them. Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, maintained the use of force was justified to fend off an attempted coup. Domestic and international human rights groups strongly disagreed. A group of independent international experts sent by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to investigate violations wrote in its December report that the killings were carried out by police and pro-government gangs unleashed against the protesters. The experts were expelled from the country before they could publicly release their report. On a recent afternoon, Francys Valdivia Machado joined a videoconference with other Mothers of April executive committee members. The group’s president, she was taking part from a spare bedroom in a rented house in the Mexican countryside, where she fled after receiving threats from Ortega’s government. In June, two men dressed in T-shirts like those worn by the pro-Ortega goons who violently targeted the student pro-

testers came to her home and law office looking for her. She and her family moved around Managua for weeks before eventually heading to Mexico. Her laptop open on a small table and Nicaragua’s flag draped over the back of her chair, the 28-year-old lawyer discussed creating a virtual museum to document the repression. The group is also working toward a cooperation agreement with the Mothers of Ayotzinapa, relatives of the 43 students who disappeared in September 2014 in southern Mexico, and establishing a formal relationship with the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. “They have a great record of fighting to find out all of the different human rights violations, the documentation, the investigation, their unwavering demand for the truth, to demand justice and we know those are processes that don’t happen overnight,” Valdivia said of the Argentine group, which formed during that country’s military dictatorship in the 1970s to search for missing relatives. In May, a branch of the Argentine group sent a letter to their Nicaraguan sisters expressing their solidarity and offering their assistance. Marjorie Agosin, a Wellesley College professor who wrote a book about the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, said the Nicaraguan group can learn from the resilience of their Argentine counterparts.

SoHi girls sweep Colony Knights boys take pair of victories over Soldotna By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

A long drought was quenched Friday night for the Soldotna girls basketball program. The Stars defeated Northern Lights Conference rival Colony for the first time in five years with a 58-51 win at home, giving head coach Kyle McFall and every player their first victory over the Knights in their prep careers. SoHi did not wait nearly as long for another victory over the Knights, winning 51-46 on Saturday. In Saturday’s game, Colony had a 14-9 lead after the first quarter and 2623 lead at halftime. In the third quarter, SoHi was able to open a 40-34 lead and hang on in the fourth quarter. For Colony, Kali Bull had 14 points, while Hannah Duguid added 11. For the Stars, Brittani Blossom and Danica Schmidt each had 13. The last time the SoHi girls beat Colony was January 2014, when McFall was still coaching at Skyview High (now middle) School, Doug Blossom was head coach at SoHi and the class of 2019 seniors were in seventh grade. Leading the charge Friday was junior post Ituau Tuisaula, who returned

from a third-quarter lip injury to score 10 points in the fourth in a gritty performance. Tuisaula finished with 15 points, while teammate Brittani Blossom scored a team-high 16 and Aliann Schmidt added 12. “(Tuisaula) was awesome,” McFall said. “The fact that she came back in, pooling blood, had some big rebounds … it took a ton of heart.” Tuisaula’s fourth-quarter heroics came after she got elbowed in the mouth in the first couple of possessions in the third quarter, leaving her on the sidelines the rest of the quarter as SoHi staff attended to her bloodied upper lip. The six-foot Tuisaula returned early in the fourth quarter and immediately made her presence known with a laser assist to Morgan Bouschor for a bucket that cut the Knights’ lead to 42-40. Tuisaula really made her impact in the final five minutes, scoring six points in an 8-0 SoHi run that helped secure the victory, and ended it with a crucial rebound that helped maintain a two-possession lead. “We weren’t rushing our offense, we kept our composure,” Tuisaula said about what the Stars did right in the end. “We kept it together.”

Tuisaula said McFall keeps in contact with the team outside of practice with a series of motivational texts meant to inspire confidence and belief. So far it’s been working, as the win also kept SoHi’s undefeated season alive at 10-0 (1-0 conference). “Way before the game, in practice, coach made sure we knew it’s been five years since SoHi beat Colony,” Tuisaula said. “The one he sent (Friday) was something like, ‘People may say you can’t do it, but we say yes we can’. We believe we’re a good team.” With the Colony win in their pocket, McFall said, the Stars now can set their sights on toppling the behemoth in the conference, the Wasilla Warriors. “Getting this win was huge, because there’s always that stigma there that we can’t beat the Valley schools,” McFall said. “We’ve come a long way in the last couple of years, and tonight we executed it perfectly.” The Stars trailed 30-29 at the half, but Tuisaula’s absence in the third quarter made it tougher for SoHi to mount a challenge, and the Knights capitalized from the perimeter. Senior guard Kali Bull hit a 3-pointer, one of four for her on the night as Bull See SOHI, page B4

Nikiski girls win Tip Off

Staff report Peninsula Clarion

Hitchcock nabs tourney named for his father By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

For a third year in a row, the Nikiski girls won the Rus Hitchcock Nikiski Tip Off tournament title on their home court, but for Rustin Hitchcock, the victory was his first as head coach. The tournament, now in its 30th year, honors the late Rus Hitchcock, who died in October 2017 following a heart attack in July 2017 at the age of 54. Hitchcock was a longtime presence in the Nikiski basketball programs, serving as an assistant coach and C-Team head coach for many years, and also worked countless hours with the Kenai Girls & Boys Club. Hitchcock’s son Rustin, a 2003 graduate of Nikiski High, is now in his first year as head coach of the girls varsity and guided the Bulldogs to a dominant 54-40 win over South Anchorage in Saturday’s de facto championship game at the round-robin tournament. Nikiski finished 3-0 over the weekend while South lost its first game to end up 2-1. Hitchcock said with his late father’s name adorning the tournament banner, he felt the love from his players and fellow coaches. “Whether they were fighting for the concept and fighting for me, they showed me a lot of respect this weekend,” he said. “Can’t say enough about their character.” Nikiski senior Bethany Carstens scored a game-high 15 points to lead the Bulldogs Saturday to the tournament title and was named MVP. Younger sister Lillian Carstens netted 10 for Nikiski and senior Kelsey Clark chipped in eight. Clark was named to the girls all-tournament team, and like most current and forSee TIP, page A4

The Kenai Central boys lost 59-36 to Monroe Catholic on Saturday at the Joe T. Classic at Lathrop in what amounted to the championship game of the round-robin tournament. Kenai took second at the event, while Kodiak was third and Lathrop was fourth. The Rams took a 19-4 lead after the first quarter. Gabe Silas had 15 points for Monroe, while Izak Lohrke, Isaac Garcia and Quinn McHenry each had 10. For the Kardinals, Andrew Bezdecny had 11 points, while Adam Trujillo had 10 points. The Kenai boys came back in the fourth quarter for a 52-51 victory over Kodiak on Friday. Kenai led 15-8 after a quarter, but Kodiak led 31-25 at the half. The Bears then led 4333 after the third quarter before Kenai won the final quarter 19-8. Trujillo led the Kards with 24 points, while Bezdecny had 12 points. Both were named to the all-tournament team. For Kodiak, Glenn Penamora had 21 points. The Kardinals girls also finished second at the tournament. Lathrop, which defeated Kenai on Thursday, won the event, while Kodiak was third and Monroe was fourth. In the Friday girls game, Jaycie Calvert hit eight 3-pointers for 24 points to lead the Kardinals to a 49-34 victory over Kodiak. The game was tied after one quarter, but Kenai led 29-21 at halftime. Leslie Spear had 16 for Kodiak. Saturday’s girls game saw Kenai notch a 46-34 victory over Monroe Catholic.

The Kenai River Brown Bears won one period on a Friday night where they badly needed to win the whole game, and lost one period Saturday night that massively damaged their playoff hopes. The Springfield (Illinois) Jr. Blues capped a three-game weekend sweep over the Brown Bears with a 3-1 Friday victory and a 2-1 Saturday win, helping to stretch out their advantage in the race for the final playoff spot out of the North American Hockey League Midwest Division. The Jr. Blues improved to 18-15-21, good for 39 points and an 11-point advantage on the Bears (12-22-2-2). Springfield lit the lamp twice in an 89-second span in the second period Saturday, getting scoring strikes from Aaron Swanson and Nikita Kozyrev that provided a lead enough to with-

stand the Bears’ efforts in the third period. Johan Bok cut the deficit in half with a short-handed goal just 11 seconds from the end, which ultimately proved to be too late. Springfield has now won six of seven games, while the Brown Bears have dropped six straight, including the first five of the current homestand. “I thought our guys came out flying in the first and second period,” said Springfield head coach Tyler Rennette, who was back on the bench Friday after missing Thursday’s game with an illness. “Then in the third, they thought it would be easy and they took it to us for 20 minutes.” The Bears went 0 for 6 on the power play in Saturday’s clash as Springfield goalie Janis Voris stood tall in net. Voris finished the night with 23 saves on 24 shots. Kenai River’s Gavin Enright stopped 17 of 19. The Bears came out fast with an

11-4 shots advantage but couldn’t figure Voris out. The Jr. Blues responded with 10 shots on goal in the second period with two slipping by Enright. In Friday’s contest, the Jr. Blues went up 3-0 and outshot Kenai River 17-8 in the first period en route to a 36-27 advantage for the game, and took control by spending long periods in the Brown Bears’ defensive zone. “We work on O zone a lot,” Rennette said. “We tell the guys that on the big sheet here, with the extra space, they have an extra second to make the shot or pass.” Midway through the first period, Kenai River’s defense finally cracked under all that pressure. With 11 minutes, 58 seconds, left in the first period, Sam Sterne got to a dangerous spot in the slot and scored. Just over a minute later, after a long period in Kenai River’s zone, Nikita Kozyrev made it 2-0. See BEARS, page B2

With 6:31 to play in the period, Springfield again got the puck to the center of the ice with traffic in front of the net. Aaron Swanson tipped in a Brandon Puricelli shot for a 3-0 cushion. Just 6:39 into the third period, Markuss Komuls, assisted by Sebastian Frantz and Andy Walker, scored on the power play to cut the gap to two. The Bears first pulled the goalie with 2:19 to play in the game, but could get no closer than two. “We’re not right right now,” Petrich said. “We’re just not us and I don’t know what the missing link is. I’m going to spend all night and all morning trying to figure it out.” Voris made 26 saves, while Gavin Enright had 33 for the Bears.

“You can’t spot them a 2-0 lead in a must-win game,” Kenai River head coach Josh Petrich said. “At the same time, I thought we had opportunities to come back.” When the Bears did get any daylight in the first two periods, Voris shut them down. Rennette said the goalie was picked up after the break and has been lights out when he has played. “He made the big saves when he had to,” the coach said. In the second period, the Bears picked up the pace a little but the Jr. Blues had three power plays to Kenai River’s one.

Petrich lauded the community’s support again. Bears notes: Wasilla’s Tanner Schachle, who played for the Brown Bears in the 201415 season, scored his first career goal for the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves in Saturday’s 6-3 loss at Alabama Huntsville. Schachle is the brother of current Brown Bears forward Porter Schachle. Porter is not playing due to an upper body injury.

Juneau-Douglas hockey notches 2 wins over Homer By NOLIN AINSWORTH Juneau Empire

Juneau-Douglas High School senior Cully Corrigan wisely held off celebrating what appeared to be a gamewinning goal on Friday night at Treadwell Arena. Standing 6 feet from the net early in an eight-minute sudden death overtime period, Corrigan watched the puck zip off the crossbar and teeter on the goal line for a split second before momentarily redirecting his stare. “Looked over at the ref and it wasn’t a goal yet,” Corrigan said. The senior promptly whacked the puck in the net, leaving nothing to chance and sealing a riveting a 4-3 overtime win over Homer High School. “This is a really big win for us,” JDHS goaltender Cody Mitchell said. “We came into this game knowing it was going

a really tough game, and just being able to come out with a win is really good, makes the whole team a little bit more confident.” The Crimson Bears got another big victory Saturday, downing Homer 7-3. Chance Turinsky and Owen Squires added the other goals and Bill Bosse and Greyson Liebelt combined for five assists in the win. Mitchell secured 28 saves. The Mariners rallied from a three-goal deficit to tie the game with just 27 seconds to go. After going on the power play with 2:14 left in the game, Homer pulled goaltender Hunter Warren with 45 seconds left. The gamble paid off as Isaiah Nevak sent a hard shot past Mitchell to force overtime. “We’re going hard the entire first and second period, dumping (the puck) trying to get more goals,” Liebelt said. “In the third period, we slowed down and started to play really

defensive, which kind of nipped us, and then they got those two more goals.” It was Juneau’s first time going into overtime on the season. “We had to get back to what we were doing in the first period at the start of the game,” JDHS coach Luke Adams said. “Just really simple hockey, good possession. We knew they would get some opportunities, but we were confident we could counter. When we got that counter attack, kids delivered, and it was a good goal.” Corrigan opened the scoring 5:23 into the second period on the power play. Squires doubled the Crimson Bears’ advantage later in the period, and Turinsky added another goal from the right circle. Homer’s Ethan Pitzman got one goal back late in the second period, and Tyler Gilliland’s slap shot brought the Mariners within one goal with 3:55 left in the the third period.

Pacquiao dominates Broner LAS VEGAS — Manny Pacquiao showed Saturday night he’s still got plenty of fight for a fighter on the wrong side of 40. Whether Pacquiao’s dominating win over Adrien Broner gets him a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, though, is a question that will have to be answered another night. With Mayweather watching from ringside, Pacquiao showed flashes of his old speed in winning a unanimous 12-round decision over Broner to easily defend his piece of the welterweight title. It was the 61st win of a remarkable career in which Pacquiao has won titles in eight weight classes. And it put to rest any thoughts of retirement after 24 years as a pro. “The Manny Pacquiao journey will still continue,” Pacquiao said.

Mickelson still leads Desert Classic LA QUINTA, Calif. — Phil Mickelson has barely stopped smiling since he teed off Thursday morning in the Desert Classic. “It’s so fun,” Mickelson said. “I just love being in contention, having a chance to win, being in the final group, feeling the nerves, feeling that excitement, the opportunity. It’s just, it’s really fun.” The 48-year-old Mickelson made three long birdie putts on the back nine Saturday in a bogey-free 6-under 66 on the Stadium Course at PGA West to take a two-stroke lead into the final round. He topped the leaderboard for the third straight day after matching his career-low score with an opening 60 at La Quinta Country Club on Thursday and adding a 68 on Friday on PGA West’s Nicklaus Tournament Course. Mickelson is making his first tour start since early October and first competitive appearance since beating Tiger Woods in Las Vegas in November in a made-for-TV event. The Hall of Famer won the World Golf Championships-Mexico Championship last year for his 43rd PGA Tour title and first since the 2013 British Open. — The Associated Press

Aussie Open crowd parties MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — It was like a party at Rod Laver Arena. A partisan crowd backed Ash Barty, booed Maria Sharapova and celebrated wildly when the first Australian woman in a decade reached the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park. Rod Laver was there watching, among the tennis greats. Prime Minister Scott Morrison in his green Aussie cap was cheering from the side of the court. It was in vogue for Aussies to be watching. Anna Wintour, too. It took four match points and 2 hours, 22 minutes before Barty fended off 2008 champion Sharapova 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, reaching the quarterfinals of a major for the first time. She’s the first Australian woman since Jelena Dokic to reach the last eight at the home Grand Slam tournament. No Aussie woman has won it in 41 years. “It’s amazing that it’s ... happening in Australia,” Barty said, reflecting on her first goal for 2019. “I have given myself the opportunity and the chance to play in front of the best crowd in the world on one of the best courts in the world and in my home Slam. There is absolutely nothing better.” She’ll next play two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, who defeated 17-year-old American Amanda Anisimova 6-2, 6-1 in 59 minutes to return to the Australian Open quarterfinals for the first time in seven years. Another former No. 1 and former Australian titlist quickly followed Sharapova out when Danielle Collins upset threetime major winner Angelique Kerber 6-0, 6-2. Collins had never won a match at a Grand Slam before coming to Australia — now she’s won four straight and

Lumen led 20-11 at halftime, but the Wolverines carried the lead into the fourth quarter after winning the third quarter 16-4. Jaime Martin had 13 points for Lumen Christi, while Sophia Dupras added 11. Isabella Koch paced Ninilchik with 10.

eliminated No. 14 Julia Goerges, No. 19 Caroline Garcia and No. 2 Kerber along the way. She’ll face either 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the quarterfinals. Sharapova won the first set but was struggling with her serve, and finished with 10 doublefaults in the match. After dropping the second set — midway through Barty’s nine-game winning streak — Sharapova took an extended break in the locker room and was booed when she came back to court. That’s a rarity for the five-time Grand Slam winner in these parts. A comeback was always on the cards, and Sharapova nearly delivered — recovering from 4-0 down in the deciding set, forcing Barty to serve it out, and saving three match points when she did. Two seasons back from her break to pursue a career in cricket, Barty has become Australia’s best chance of producing a local champion since 1978. In her on-court interview, she saluted her former cricket team and said she’d watched on TV the previous day as they qualified for the national final. “I needed to take that time away,” she said, reflecting on her time out playing cricket. “I feel like I came back a better person on and off the court, a better tennis player.” Her immediate concern, though, is getting past Kvitova, who beat her in the final of the Sydney International last week. Kvitova wanted no part of another loss to Anisimova, who beat her last year at Indian Wells and was the youngest American since Jennifer Capriati in 1993 to make it this far at Melbourne Park.

Karl Danielson led all peninsula skiers Saturday at the Besh Cup race No. 3 freestyle sprints at the Tsalteshi Trails in Soldotna. Danielson, a 2018 Kenai Central grad, finished sixth in the A final, the last race of the day after a full schedule of qualifying and heat races over the one-kilometer sprint loop. Fairbanks racer Ari Endestad won the final, beating runner-up Julien Bordes of Alaska Pacific University.

Soldotna senior Jeremy Kupferschmid took 14th among the senior class of skiers, and was followed by Soldotna’s Bradley Walters in 46th, Soldotna’s Jack Harris in 47th, Kenai Central’s Joshua Foster in 59th, Soldotna’s Joseph Dammeyer in 70th and Soldotna’s Darius Martin in 75th. The top 30 skiers in the morning qualifying session advanced to the afternoon heats. Kenai’s Maria Salzetti was the top peninsula finisher in the women’s skate sprints, making the cut to finish 27th over-

all. Marion Woods of Alaska Winter Stars won the women’s final. Soldotna’s Sonora Martin followed behind in 40th, while SoHi teammate Isabella Dammeyer was 42nd, Soldotna’s Cameron Blackwell was 47th, Soldotna’s Hannah Delker was 48th, Soldotna’s Erika Arthur was 53rd and Kenai’s Summer Foster was 54th. Sunday’s racing begins at 11 a.m. with a day of classic interval start races. Skiers take to the course in 30-second intervals, with the day’s last racer heading out around 2:15 p.m.

scored a game-high 20 points for Colony. With Tuisaula’s return in the fourth quarter, SoHi began finding a groove. Blossom drained a jumper with 6:50 left to tie it at 44-all and Danica Schmidt hit Bull with a huge block on the next Colony possession. With 4:45 left, Tuisaula tied it at 48 apiece on a layup, then gave SoHi the lead on a free throw with 3:47 remaining. Blossom kept it going with an off-balance jumper with 3:21 to play and Tuisaula was fouled on a baseline drive with 1:59 to go, putting the Stars ahead 5448 following her free throw. Colony’s Abby Kenley kept SoHi honest with a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 54-51 with 1:39 left, but the Stars broke the Knights press on the ensuing possession and fed Tuisaula for the bucket. Kalyn McGillivray had a chance to add to the lead with two foul shots and missed both, but Tuisaula was there for the rebound that essentially sealed the win with 39 seconds left. Colony boys 72, Soldotna 42 The Knights used a secondquarter surge to distance themselves en route to an NLC win Friday night at Soldotna High School. Sullivan Menard hit five 3s on the way to a game-high 21 points for the Knights, who jumped to 13-2 overall this year (1-1 NLC). Jersey Truesdell netted 17 points for SoHi (5-5 overall, 0-1 conference) with four treys, and David Michael chipped in 10. SoHi head coach Nolan Rose said with the Stars competing against a wide variety of schools in different classifications in the early weeks of the season, the Knights were the first true Class 4A competitor that SoHi has seen this year, and the speed of the game caught up them. “They’re a really good team obviously, one of the top one or two teams in the state, and they have a lot of experience,” Rose said. “This is the first team we’ve seen

that has that level of pressure and speed, and we made some uncharacteristic turnovers. If you turn the ball over with a team that talented, it’s going to be tough.” Hot 3-point shooting in the early going led to SoHi trailing 23-19, but the Knights uncorked a second quarter run that helped build a gap. Following a pair of triples by Ray Chumley and Truesdell, Colony ripped off a 14-0 run to build a 37-19 lead by the late stages of the second quarter. Menard helped spark the run with a driving layup and 3-point shot, which was followed by a coast-to-coast layup by Jeremiah Hersrud and a triple by Colton Spencer. Colony led 39-22 at halftime. “The energy got better,” explained Knights head coach Tom Berg. “We rode the bus in and we’ve been on the road all year just about, so we’re used to it. We settled into the second half and our good players executed.” SoHi desperately tried to keep up in the third quarter, but seemingly every big play was answered by the ferocious Knights press. Mekhai Rich

buried a 3 midway through the quarter, but only after Menard had done the same on the previous possession. A jumper by Spencer and a 3-pointer by Menard with two minutes left pushed the lead to 55-32, essentially making the fourth quarter a moot point. Colony boys 41, Soldotna 34 The Stars were able to keep it closer Saturday, but a strong finish by Colony was the difference. The Knights led 8-2 after the first quarter and 17-14 at halftime. Soldotna led 26-24 entering the final eight minutes, but Soldotna’s Zach Hanson (10) competes for a rebound Friday night against Colony at Soldotna the Knights won the stretch run High School.

mer Nikiski basketball names to come through the program, Clark received valuable coaching and advice from Rus Hitchcock, and said Saturday’s win was special to see the team win for his son. “He was really passionate,” Clark said about the elder Hitchcock. “He was so passionate about the players and the game, and helping us become better.” Nikiski boys coach Reid Kornstad knew Hitchcock for years and coached alongside with him, and said the connection he made with players created a better basketball program at Nikiski. “They loved him,” Kornstad said. “He had a real sense of what teamwork means.” The Glennallen Panthers took the boys tournament championship with a 74-44 win Saturday over Houston, which took second with a 1-2 record. Houston won a three-way tiebreaker over thirdplace Nikiski and South JV, as all three teams finished 1-2 this weekend. Glennallen’s Aidan Fields was named boys tournament MVP. After defeating Houston and Glennallen the first two days, the Nikiski girls had to face a Class 4A team for the title on Saturday. South made life tough on Nikiski in the opening quarter by staking out a 16-8 lead, which Hitchcock admitted may have been in part to his experimenting with a different defensive scheme. Hitchcock said he hopes that experience would help the team later in the season. “I know they would put themselves in a championship mindset to experience that with that mindset,” he said. “They’ll be able to mentally recall that.” The Wolverines found their early success from beyond the perimeter, sinking a pair of 3-pointers that put them ahead 12-8, then getting two late buckets from Jo Kashevarof at the rim to extend the gap to eight points. Once the Bulldogs returned to their regular scheme, things be-

gan clicking. Clark buried a trey early in the second quarter and was later followed by Bethany Carstens’ triple from the same spot that cut the gap to 18-17. Another 3-pointer by Clark with 3:26 left until the half tied the game at 20 apiece, then Carstens grabbed a steal and a breakaway layup to put Nikiski ahead for good at 22-20. Hitchcock said defensive plays helped ignite the offense as Nikiski forced South into more and more mistakes and turnovers. Two layups by America Jeffreys in the final 1:20 of the first half led to a 30-22 halftime lead for Nikiski. The advantage grew in the third quarter thanks to a trio of treys from Lillian Carstens, Emma Wik and Kaycee Bostic, and the rout was on as Nikiski led 47-33 at the end of three quarters. Nikiski boys 56, South JV 23 The Nikiski boys avenged a pair of close losses earlier in the tournament with a dominant victory Saturday in Nikiski. Jace Kornstad pumped in a game-high 18 points for Nikiski and Michael Mysing chipped in 13. Kornstad had 16 by halftime and Mysing had 11. Overall, the Bulldogs had 10 different players reach the scoring column, a stat that made coach Reid Kornstad pleased. “Getting everyone involved,

looking for that higher level of engagement on the defensive end,” said Kornstad when asked what the team did well. “Mike (Mysing) is one of our most consistent players and gives an effort on offense and defense, and that showed tonight.” The Nikiski boys lost 45-43 to Houston on Thursday, then lost 58-48 to Glennallen on Friday. Overall, the Bulldogs came out of the weekend with a plus 21-point differential but only a 1-2 record to show for it. Jace Kornstad fueled the Bulldogs offensive spurt in the first quarter, scoring 12 points to easily outscore the South JV himself. Nikiski led 18-4 in the first quarter and used a 15-0 run to grab a 26-4 lead by the 4:58 mark of the second quarter. A 3-pointer by senior Jacob Smith at the halftime buzzer put Nikiski ahead 36-11, and an 8-0 run to open the second half allowed coach Kornstad to substitute in his bench players. FRIDAY The Nikiski girls put themselves one win away from taking the Rus Hitchcock Nikiski Tip Off Tournament title with a win Friday over Glennallen 61-34. The Bulldogs survived an early scare after Glennallen took an early 13-9 lead, but the home team rebounded in a big way, outscoring Glennallen 48-8 in the second and third quarters combined.

Bethany Carstens led the Nikiski charge with 22 points in three quarters, and Kelsey Clark netted nine of her 11 points in the third quarter. Sophie Tynne paced Glennallen with 17. Glennallen boys 58, Nikiski 48 The Bulldogs lost to the Panthers Friday at Nikiski to fall to 0-2 on the weekend. Jace Kornstad poured in 21 points on five 3-pointers before fouling out while Noah Litke added 13. For Glennallen, Aiden Fields dropped 27 on the Bulldogs. Glennallen led 12-9 after one quarter and 27-20 at the half, then extended its lead to 33-27 before winning the fourth quarter 25-21. Fields went 8 for 9 from the foul line in the fourth quarter. In other Friday games, the South girls beat Houston 46-33 and the Houston boys toppled the South JV boys 69-47.

Super Bowl menu could include team-inspired chili creations By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

Kenneth Temple is a devout New Orleans Saints fan. Ask him a question about his beloved team, and the first words from his mouth are “Who Dat? Who Dat?” Still, Temple, a noted chef who has cooked for several NFL players, including Malcolm Jenkins, Brandin Cooks and All-Pro receiver Michael Thomas, recognizes there are three other teams remaining in the playoffs. So when Hormel Chili asked him to create dips for the Super Bowl, he dived right in with versions that reflect not only New Orleans, but New England, Los Angeles and Kansas City . “The beautiful thing about it is chili and football go hand in hand,” Temple says, noting Hormel was a partner with the NFL as far back as the 1950s. “At tailgates or with friends at a viewing party or wherever, it is easy to accommodate a larger crowd.” But his chore for now is to accommodate four distinctly different tastes as part of a contest in which fans will include touchdown dances; a winner and a guest will get tickets to the 2020 Super Bowl in Miami. We won’t give away too many ingredients, but suffice to say Temple catered nicely to each region. “Chili is versatile, but you can’t throw everything in it,” he says. “Don’t want it to be intimidating.” First, the Big Easy. “I had to make sure I represent the

culture right, being from New Orleans,” he says. “Nobody wants to eat shrimp with their chili, they don’t go together. So what to do?” Temple quickly came up with an answer: red beans. Add in some onions, celery and bell peppers, sausage, creole seasoning, a few other items

Winter Composting with Worms Composting in the winter is no fun! The weekly long, slow trudge out to the compost pile at 20 degrees below isn’t even an Alaskan’s idea of a good time. Fortunately, there is an easy, fun alternative for composting during the Alaskan winter: Vermicomposting! Vermicomposting is the feeding of kitchen food scraps to worms. In addition to cutting down on what goes to the trash bin, they can be effectively turned into rich compost that is beneficial as both a soil amendment and slow release fertilizer. Does it sound too good to be true? It’s not! Cooperative Extension Service has a free publication that includes information on building and maintaining a worm tote, species of worms to use, what and when to feed them, and how to harvest the dark, rich casting that are so good for growing. Take a look for your new winter project while you think of spring gardens. Find “Composting with Worms” and “Worms in a Tote” at http://www. uaf.edu/ces/districts/kenai/.

for its barbecue. As in his LA chili, no beans for this creation. “My wife is from Kansas City and we went on a barbecue tour of about eight spots recently, so I knew I wanted to play with the burnt ends,” Temple says. “That is what they do well and people wait on line for.” This recipe included the flavor of a Kansas City barbecue sauce, which Temple says is “spicier and bolder than I expected. I am used to more of the sweeter side of barbecue. I was impressed with the tang.” He wanted the smokiness of the burnt ends to blend in, but urges folks to mix the meat into this dish, not to simply put the burnt ends on top and chow down. Finally, he tackled New England, knowing that, like in New Orleans, clams or lobster wouldn’t quite work. “Boston baked beans,” he exclaims. “That’s a savory sweet payoff, and because you can use a variety of baked beans, I can imagine you will get a lot of different flavors with it.” Temple recently gave cooking lessons to Vikings star receiver Adam Thielen. Indeed, the dance contest emanates from some of Thielen and his teammates’ touchdown celebrations. From now through Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 3, 2019, fans can submit their best touchdown dance via social media by tagging @HormelChili on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. Temple and Thielen created a Minnesota chili.

Early dui arrest changes teetotaler’s life forever DEAR ABBY: Thirty years ago, I went out for a night of social drinking with friends. After consuming several drinks, I made the mistake of thinking I could drive home. The result was I was arrested for DUI. As it was my first offense, the charges were dismissed after I completed a diversion program. Although not considered a conviction, the arrest is still accessible through open records in my state. This was, and is, a source of embarrassment to me.

O U S T E D

DEAR ABBY: I’m 54 and finally finishing my bachelor’s degree. It has been a very long journey, and I’m excited to finally attain it. My question is: Which last name should I put on my degree? I still use my ex-husband’s Abigail Van Buren last name because I have a son with him. After I remarried I still didn’t change it.

I no longer drink alcohol. I want your readers to know they need to think twice before drinking and driving. That one night changed my life forever, and it will change theirs if they’re involved in an accident and My educational goal was a personal hurt or take someone’s life. I was lucky that one, and I’m proud of myself for finishing neither of those things happened to me. it. I wanted to use my maiden name on my Now I have a concern regarding my degree because this degree is also for my teenage daughter. She’s at an age where parents, although both have since passed. she’s aware of the dangers of drinking and So, which last name should I use for my driving. She has little respect for people she degree? has heard about who have been arrested for DUIs. She doesn’t know about my arrest. If she chose to, she could access my open records and see my DUI arrest. Should I tell her about my past, or keep it to myself? Although we have a good father/daughter relationship, I’m concerned if I tell her it could have a negative impact going forward.

-- UNSURE IN TEXAS

DEAR LEARNED: Some teens can be judgmental because they have not yet had enough life experience to practice empathy. While I don’t think the odds are great that your daughter will search online to see if her parent has a record, I do think you should have another discussion with her about the repercussions of driving under the influence. And when you do, emphasize that this kind of error in judgment can happen to ANYONE who gets behind the wheel after drinking alcohol or ingesting prescription drugs because it once happened to you -- and unless she’s aware, it could also happen to her.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Jan. 20, 2019: This year you open up to many changes. Often, you see both sides of a disagreement. You could be overwhelmed by all the feelings that need sorting. If you are single, you might go through a string of relationships until later in this birthday year, when you meet someone you can relate to. If you are attached, the two of you often are on opposite sides of a debate. Respect your differences, and your relationship will evolve. LEO knows how to make you laugh. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Tension builds with today’s lunar eclipse. You might find that those around you are emotional. Know that this, too, shall pass. Avoid unneeded controversy. You could decide to go for a long walk or drive. Changes could be afoot. Tonight: The fun begins. This Week: From Tuesday on, you create distance between yourself and your problems. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You look at others who seem to act as if they are on an emotional seesaw. You have concerns about communication and a potential change. Your reactions will change, given some time. You might not like surprises, but you will get used to them. Tonight: Happy at home. This Week: You could be more anchored in certain ideas than you realize. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could feel pushed and pulled in several directions. Your finances might be difficult to stabilize, especially if someone else is involved. Don’t worry so much right now. Go out and enjoy your Sunday. A friend might have a surprise for you. Tonight: Go with the moment. This Week: Speak your mind, but you might not have a receptive audience until Thursday. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You will want to try a different approach, but do not assume that the result will be different. Today’s lunar eclipse could affect you if you have a planet near or opposite this date. Know that you don’t have control over anyone but yourself. Tonight: Say “yes” to a fun invitation. This Week: Try not to let emotions dictate your behavior. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Step back some if you’re feeling out of sorts. It will not hurt you to spend some time alone instead of among friends. Quite a few people could be upset or in disparaging moods. A loved one could be very sensitive to your needs. Enjoy this person’s doting. Tonight: An early bedtime. This Week: You beam as the week begins. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might be considering how you feel about a certain friendship. In some way, you could feel as if this person doesn’t fit with the other parts of your life. Ask yourself

how important it is to have a link between this friend and your life. Tonight: Expect a late night with loved ones. This Week: You get some of the best days of the month on Tuesday and Wednesday. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your sense of fun comes forward despite having to deal with someone emotional. You could be tired of all the vocalization. You might like a change of scenery and people. If you can get away, you’ll return to your daily life more invigorated. Tonight: Only what you want. This Week: Use Monday to hit a homerun, and Thursday to initiate an important project. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Reach out to someone you care about. This person might be more available than usual, but you could be wishing for more. Make plans to get together while you are speaking to him or her. This person has an odd way of displaying his or her feelings. Tonight: Play the night away. This Week: Tuesday and Wednesday, focus on a longterm goal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A friendship comes to your attention. You need to spend more time with this friend. Nevertheless, you find that someone close to you is very demanding or full of ultimatums. A change of company might be a relief, even if just for a few hours. Tonight: Hang out at home. This Week: You might want to take Monday off. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You can accomplish a lot if you remain disciplined, but you might not if you relax and do only what you want. You are juggling quite a few concerns; you might need to eliminate one or two of them to stabilize your life and days. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion. This Week: Deal with an emotional partner quickly on Monday. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might sense a lack of stability around you. A friend could be wishy-washy about a key decision and cannot seem to be able to achieve what he or she wants. Don’t judge this person or the situation, just be present in the moment. Tonight: Accept a last-minute invitation. This Week: A specific person highlights your Tuesday and Wednesday. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH When you are with a certain friend, you feel as if you are on the seesaw of life. As this person questions himor herself, you’ll ask yourself similar questions. Know what you want, and act on it. Sometimes, people are unsure of their choices. Tonight: At a favorite restaurant. This Week: Others control what is happening right now.

Dear Readers: Where in the car is the safest place for your DOG TO RIDE? Despite the fact that your dog will probably want to ride in the front seat next to you, and perhaps with its head out the window, the dog’s safest bet is in the back seat, secured in a harness or crate. Make sure the crate has good airflow around it, and for longer road trips, pack a bag: food, bowl, bags for waste, bottled water, first aid and any medications, a favorite toy and the animal’s shot history. Safety is always the most important factor when traveling with your pet, and planning ahead should make this a smooth venture. -- Heloise

RIGHT AT HOME: Serious decor with a fun, playful edge

Poppies are tougher than they look and can be sown early

With seeds as fine as dust and flower petals as delicate as fairy shawls, it might seem that poppies are too fragile to have their seeds sown directly on melting snow or frozen ground. But early sowing is a must, because the seedlings thrive during the cool, moist weather of early spring. And because poppies don’t transplant well, their seeds are best sown right out in the flower beds. Members of the poppy family, Papaveraceae, span the globe from the Arctic to the tropics, but their flowers share a common quality. “The poppy is the most transparent and delicate of all blossoms. Other flowers rely on the texture of their surface for color. The poppy is painted glass; it never glows so brightly as when the sun shines through it,” wrote John Ruskin over a hundred years ago.

A HANDFUL OF ANNUAL POPPIES Corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is aptly named for it once dotted the corn fields of Europe with its brilliant red flowers. (“Corn” means “grain” in British English.) This annual’s translucent flowers are borne on sprawling stalks 2 feet high. The Flanders variety is named for the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields,” by John McCrae, in which the blood-red flowers symbolize lives lost in war. On Memorial and Veteran’s days, red tissue-paper poppies still are distributed in memory of wars’ victims. Shirley poppies are a type of corn poppy with white lines along the edges of their petals. Corn and Shirley poppies begin blooming shortly after spring-flowering bulbs have finished their show, and continue blooming through July. California poppy (Eschscholtzis californica) was named in honor of Dr. Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz, a 19th century ship’s surgeon who found these bright orange flowers blanketing California hillsides. Northern winters are too harsh for this perennial, but it can be treated as an annual with the seeds sown yearly. From June to October, the 3- to 5-inch blooms of California poppies stare out above their lacy foliage. New varieties are available in a range of colors — cream, carmine, orange, yellow and red. I plant these flowers in the sunniest spots of the garden because they stay closed at night and even in shade. Iceland poppies (P. nudicaule) have delicately ruffled and sweetly scented flowers, and are borne on slender stalks above rosettes of deeply cut leaves. Like California poppy, Iceland poppy is perennial in its native habitat, in this case the Arctic. In most other regions, it loses its perennial character to behave like a biennial. Plants from spring sowings bloom from midsummer into fall of their first year. The second year, the luxuriant blossoms unfold shortly after daffodils bloom, and then continue throughout the season.

ONE PERENNIAL POPPY The old-fashioned oriental poppy (P. oriental) is the only garden perennial among the poppies. Propagate it either from seed or by root cuttings. With huge, flamboyant, brickred flowers having purplish-black splotches at the bases of their petals, this poppy has few rivals for intense color in the flower garden. The blossoming period is relatively short, in early summer. Soon after that, the blossoms fade, the leaves die back and the plant enters a period of dormancy until late summer. To mask the dying foliage and carry on a succession of blooms, I plant zinnias and calendulas among the poppies. All these poppies — corn poppies, Shirley poppies, Icelandic poppies, California poppies and oriental poppies — thrive on neglect. Sprinkle the seeds onto well-drained soil — even now, in winter— and then forget about them. Poppies are flowers of cottage gardens and meadows, rather than neatly groomed, formal flower beds. Let them sprawl, their flowers flopping about on the ends of stalks, splashing bright colors against mute green foliage.

Dorothy Draper once said of her decorating projects, “I always put in one controversial item. It makes people talk.” The influential Manhattan interior decorator was known for her exuberant use of color and pattern, such as bold, black-and-white checkerboard, hot pink and crimson, lime green and blue. In her hands, stuffy chintz became flirty and vivacious. That cheeky sense of fun is all over home decor these days, a counterpoint to the serenity of minimalism and neutral palettes. New York-based designer, potter and author Jonathan Adler is known for playful accessories, like ceramic trinket trays in the shape of pouty lips or pill capsules, and storage jars printed with imagery that references mind-expanding substances. Brass and acrylic objets d’art and vessels include mustache, finger, hippo and talon shapes. Yet Adler’s serious about creating chic design. “A lot of my stuff explores a hedonistic streak that I deny myself in real life. The wink in my work is just that — a wink,” he says. “My formula? Ninety-nine percent classicism, 1 percent witticism.” Maureen Stevens, an interior designer in Austin, Texas, seeks a similar balance. For a project in the city’s Seaholm District, “the client wanted a boutique-hotel vibe with all the frills.” Stevens clad some walls in cobalt and magenta, and then dressed the home with bold pops of pattern, curvy furniture, statement art, and velvet bar stools perched on hairpin legs. There’s sex appeal, but it’s infused with tasteful, thoughtful curation.

“I love a room of storytellers,” she says. “Pieces that act as little mementos, curiosities and artifacts.” At last spring’s Shoppe Object show in New York, designer Helene Ige of Los Angeles displayed a fanciful pillow collection that transected pop culture and traditional pattern, with foil-printed unicorns and saucy phrases on tapestry and toile backgrounds. Crown Objet has also played with textiles, creating silk pillows printed with alien heads and skulls. Furniture with a soft, sumptuous feel — think velvet, chenille, buttery leather — is a good way to introduce sensual elements. Metals can be highly polished to dance the light around the room, or burnished to give the room warmth. Glass or mirrored pieces add glamour. You’ll find well-priced velvet seating at Article, as well as a temptingly cool, appleshaped, wire floor lamp. Jenn-Air has disrupted the traditional highend kitchen-gear market with a new collection called “Bound by Nothing.” The appliances are tricked out with Italian leather covers and trims, etched and tooled hardware, and deep, rich hues. “Our inspiration came from fashion, furniture and jewelry, and from art, music and travel,” says Jessica McConnell, senior design manager at parent company Whirlpool. “Having free rein to push boundaries was quite freeing for us as designers. We stopped thinking about the way it ‘should’ be done and instead about the possibilities.” Jenn-Air’s “Cuts” line features smooth or croc-embossed, leather-front, column refrigerators in colors like cognac and caviar. “Smoke & Brass” ranges have a lovely patina, and anodized-brass and knurled-steel hardware.

“Burlesque” fridges put the color and embossing in the interior, and then trim the whole thing with sensual LED lighting. The effect is more luxe, walk-in closet than icebox. Other utilitarian elements are getting a fashionable approach too. Kohler introduced the Ombre faucet collection, inspired by the technique’s popularity in clothing and even hairstyles. The graduated shading, from a rosy gold to nickel, or dusky titanium to a pinky hue, gives the hardware a beguiling edge. Artwork or wallpaper is a good way to play provocateur in a room. Minted and CB2, among others, have interesting photography, abstracts and bold graphic prints. For a stronger statement, check out Timorous Beasties’ Graffiti wallpaper covered in wildly colorful and chaotic spray-paint and spatter patterns. Or take a different tack with Given Campbell’s Divine Collection. The designer cheekily channels patron saints in contemporary graphic motifs.

Exploring the benefits of High Intensity Interval Training

Many new programs are available at fitness centers that allow fitness-minded individuals to test their mettle. Recently, one of the more popular fitness regimens is HIIT, and it’s probably available at a fitness center near you. HIIT is an acronym for High Intensity Interval Training. The American College of Sports Medicine says HIIT held steady among the top fitness trends for 2017. The crux of HIIT is sustained, intense exercise followed by active recovery periods. WebMD says that HIIT can be used with any type of cardio workout, including rowing, jumping rope, stair climbing, and more. Many gyms also build programs around HIIT that may include “boot camp” workouts that utilize equipment or body weight exercises to burn calories. A typical HIIT training sessions lasts about 30 minutes. Workouts are performed at 80 to 90 percent of a person’s maximal heart rate, which is the number of times the heart will beat in a minute without overexerting itself. Recovery periods are not entirely rest. They tend to be shorter than active periods, and come in at around 40 to 50 percent of the maximal heart rate. The workout will alternate between the working and recovery periods. HIIT workouts can be effective at boosting metabolism and helping people burn calories faster. They also help to develop physical endurance. The science behind the workouts has to do with EPOC, or excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. The fitness lifestyle resource Daily Burn says that HIIT will help burn more fat and

calories than regular steady workouts because EPOC\0x2008 is an oxygen shortage in the body that occurs during the intense portions of the HIIT workouts. During recovery, the body will ask for more oxygen, creating an afterburn and a metabolic disturbance. The fitness guide Fitness Blender states that the intense training will result in the body burning calories at a higher rate for up to 48 to 72 hours after exercising. People may see greater results by doing HIIT workouts three times a week for half of the duration than they would if they were performing more typical workouts more frequently. For those whose schedules are already jam-packed, HIIT can be a more efficient way of exercising.

HIIT requires a strong baseline fitness level, so beginners or those who have been out of the gym for some time are urged to start slowly. Also, since HIIT causes high demand on the heart and respiratory systems, so it’s essential to discuss the regimen with a doctor to find out if HIIT is a smart choice depending on your medical history. Those considering participating in HIIT workouts are urged to discuss the possibilities with a knowledgeable trainer at a neighborhood gym.
