In the news Alaska Railroad tank car derails; no spill detected ANCHORAGE — A railroad tank car carrying turbine engine fuel derailed south of Denali National Park, but Alaska Railroad officials have not detected a spill. The car was in the middle of a freight train with 71 freight cars and five locomotives. The car derailed at 3:14 a.m. Tuesday about 3 miles south of Cantwell. The community of 200 is 28 miles south of the park. The car carried 23,000 gallons of fuel. The derailment damaged rail ties over nearly 3 miles and on a bridge over the Cantwell River. The railroad estimates repairs will take at least two days after train cars are removed. About half of the cars were moved to Fairbanks.
Eagle rescued after becoming stranded on Sitka power pole SITKA — Officials say an eagle is recovering after it became stranded on a power pole in downtown Sitka. The Daily Sitka Sentinel reports the male eagle was taken to the Alaska Raptor Center after electric department linemen rescued it from the pole Sunday. Center avian director Jen Cedarleaf says the raptor has been named Zappa and appears to be doing fine. She says Zappa does not have any broken bones, but it’s too early to tell if he was injured from contact with the power line. Cedarleaf says Zappa is at least five years old, with a wingspan of about 6.5 feet. Zappa will be moved to the center’s flight area with other eagles when he’s ready and released in March.
Fairbanks city, borough take in $1M in pot taxes for 2018 FAIRBANKS — The city of Fairbanks and the Fairbanks North Star Borough will collect more than $1 million in taxes on marijuana for 2018. The Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reports the bulk of the tax was collected by the city, which has a larger concentration of stores selling pot. Marijuana sales are taxed at 5 percent, meaning stores within the city and borough did more than $20 million in business. City chief financial officer Carmen Randle says the tax collected exceeded her expectations. The city projected taxes of $600,000 and the city’s final tally will be upward of $900,000 after December proceeds are tallied. Randle says the money collected from pot sales has helped city finances as state support for local governments has decreased. The borough already has collected $138,000 in marijuana tax. — Associated Press

Four people were charged with felony burglary for allegedly breaking into the home of a deceased man in Nikiski. Bradly Martin Luke, 25, Kenneth Paxton Oder, 49, Alicia Marie Ridge, 28, and Dominic Sunrise Ronellenfitch, 23, allegedly went to a Nikiski residence on Jan. 8 and attempted to steal a water heater. According to an Alaska State Trooper affidavit filed with the court, a neighbor reported that three men in a dark-colored pickup were outside the residence, which the neighbor knew to be unoccupied. When troopers arrived on scene, they identified two vehicles parked outside of the home, with Ronellenfitch standing outside the truck and the three others sitting inside a second car. While questioning Ronellenfitch, the troopers observed a large water heater in the bed of the truck, according to the affidavit. Each of the four suspects gave a different explanation to Construction crews work at the Kenai Municipal Airport on Tuesday afternoon. After workers troopers as to why they were removed siding from the facade, a mural with iconic Kenai images like fishing nets, the St. outside the residence and why Nicholas Russian Orthodox chapel and a dog musher, was revealed.

Airport remodel reveals decades-old mural By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
A mural not seen for decades has been uncovered on the facade of the Kenai Municipal Airport. The decades-old mural, which was revealed Tuesday by construction crews working on the airport’s remodel, depicts familiar local icons, such as the St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox chapel, fishing nets and a dog musher. The Peninsula Clarion was unable to reach the airport manager, however, Chris Parker of K &A Design said the mural dates to the 1960s and was covered up by metal siding in the 1980s. The airport was built in 1966 and has been renovated three times since. An expansion of the airport took place in 1983, and the restaurant and lounge were added in 1988. In 2004, sidewalks, entryways and parking lots were updated.
10 times more federal workers file for unemployment during shutdown By MOLLIE BARNES Juneau Empire
There have been almost 10 times more unemployment filings from federal workers in Alaska than normal since the federal shutdown began.
The Alaska Department of Labor & Workforce Development received 382 benefit claims from federal workers in Alaska over the last three weeks, Division Director Patsy Westcott said. In contrast, there were only about 40
claims for federal workers in Alaska for the whole month of November. “That’s pretty significant,” she said. The maximum unemployment payout benefit in Alaska is $370 per week, and West-
cott said most federal employees would qualify for that amount. She did not have data on how many of the 382 new filings were from Juneau. Juneau Economic Development Council has been working on collecting esti-
mates for local data. Executive Director Brian Holst said the JEDC estimates there are about 670 federal workers in Juneau, accounting for 4.1 percent of the total workforce in town. The Coast Guard acSee FILE, page A2
Legislature kicks off 2019 session Tensions rise in Alaska House Hello? Cellphones
banned on Senate floor
By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire
It did not take long for the discombobulated Alaska House to get derailed with a disagreement on procedure. Shortly after new Republican Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer swore in 39 members of the House Tuesday afternoon, he and Democratic lawmakers were arguing over whether Healy Republican Rep. Dave Talerico was allowed to read a message on behalf of Gov. Mike Dunleavy. Talerico had been trying to relay a message to the House from Dunleavy about Dunleavy’s desire to appoint Sharon Jackson to House District 13 in Chugiak. That position

Sen. John Coghill said Tuesday evening he is considering a revision of a ban on cellphone usage on the Senate floor. Coghill is the Senate Rules Committee chair. Some members of the capitol press corps were dismayed on Monday when they arrived at Coghill’s office to pick up their press pass. Along with their press pass, reporters received a memo that said, “Smart devices such as cell phones are prohibited inside the chambers.” Some reporters use their phones to record the Senate or take photos because they have no other
camera. The memo said the rule would “be strictly enforced by the floor staff” and failure to comply would result in “immediate expulsion.” On Tuesday, Coghill told the Juneau Empire he forbade cellphones for two reason: “inordinate communication and disruption.” Legislators had already been forbidden from cellphone use for similar reasons, he said. Coghill said he learned from reporters who spoke out against the change that sometimes they take pictures of the vote board, or use their phone as a wireless hotspot, or communicate with staff photograSee CELL, page A3
Lawmakers introduce bills to curb crime wave By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire
With campaign promises in the rearview mirror and the 31st Alaska Legislature now in session, the real work begins for lawmakers who campaigned on addressing public
safety in the state. Senate President Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, said in a press conference Tuesday that reducing crime won’t happen overnight and it won’t take just one committee to do it. “I’ve asked my committees
not to operate in silos, and actually to collaborate,” Giessel said. “Many of these issues cross different committees and different subject matter.” Giessel, who was elected as Senate President Tuesday morning, used the opioid crisis as an example of an issue
that spreads beyond the Senate Judiciary Committee’s expertise. While that committee looks into crime issues, the Health and Social Services committee might be the one to work on solutions to the opioid crisis. According to the Alaska
Department of Public Safety’s Uniform Crime Report (UCR) released last year, the statewide total of Part I crimes — such as robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and arson — rose by about 5.5 percent in 2017. JuSee CRIME, page A2

Of about 165 Forest Service workers, only about 20 to 30 are working, he said. Some are being paid through fees collected at Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center, but that won’t last forever, Holst said. The Postal Service is also able to pay employees through stamp revenues, he said. “If this happens another

two weeks, it will really start to impact the local economy,” Holst said. “I think it’s a bit muted right now.” He attributed some of the “muted” impacts to the fact that Congress passed a bill last week confirming retroactive pay for furloughed federal workers. This makes economic impacts harder to gauge because workers might still be spending normally, just buying things on credit cards because they’ve been assured that the lost wages will come back to them, he said. JEDC estimates that $2.3 million in Juneau workers’ wages were not paid out in last week’s pay period. “It would be an exaggeration to say that number equals the spending lost,” Holst said. But as time progresses, people will slow down their
spending to a closer amount equal to lost wages. He also said there’s a multiplier effect on places like grocery stores and restaurants, such as the ones reported by the Empire last week. Workers who filed for unemployment right when the shutdown began have already started receiving weekly payouts, Westcott said. To apply, she said furloughed workers need some kind of wage proof, such as pay stubs, to help speed up the process. “Federal agencies don’t automatically report worker wages to the state,” she said. “We have to request those. But with the shutdown there’s no one there to send us those reports.” But Alaska’s unemployment “trust fund is healthy,” Westcott said.
“We definitely have the funds to pay benefits to these workers, so there’s no concern there,” Westcott said. If workers are paid retroactively once a federal budget passes, workers who received unemployment benefits will be required to pay back any benefits they received during the shutdown from that retroactive pay. Ideally, Westcott said, workers would pay that money back as soon as they receive retroactive pay. “Once we establish an over-payment, if the benefits aren’t paid back timely, then we will pursue a levy like a Permanent Fund Dividend payout,” she said. “So it’s in workers’ best interest to pay it back when they get their retroactive pay.”
The student enrollment projection for FY20 is 8,681 students. Last year, the Legislature passed $30 million in one-time funding for districts in the state. The district would get $2.1 million of it, and Jones said the district is assuming that the $2.1 million will be included and available for the FY20 budget. The district is also expecting flat funding from the borough. “In our conversations with our mayor, the mayor has indicated to us that his budget
will include less funding for the school district in the coming year,” Jones said. “He did not give us a specific amount, but he said it would be south of the current amount we’ve been receiving.” Expected revenues for the FY20 general fund is estimated to be $142,588,810. The FY20 expenditure budget was developed using the same staffing formulas from FY19. Salaries and benefits compromise 80 percent of total expenditures. The total for esti-
mated expenditures for FY20 is $142,371,983. The district is waiting to see the governor’s state budget, which will be released in midFebruary. At the work session, school board member Zen Kelly urged the board to watch the governor’s State of the State next week and to keep their eyes out for the Feb. 15 release of the governor’s budget. “We’re going to learn a lot in the next 31 days about where we need to head,” Kelly said.
Senate, more than a dozen of them are in reference to public safety. One of the biggest focuses in the pre-filed bills is sexual violence. For example, House Bill 33, would require sex offenders and child kidnappers to register with the state. Senate Bill 12 would tighten up Alaska’s criminal code in cases of sexual assault. House Bill 20 would require law enforcement agencies to send sexual assault evaluation kits in for testing within six months. In recent years, Alaska has fallen way behind in testing these kits — which contain physical evidence of rape that can help lead to a
conviction. All of those bills have a long way to go to become law, but on the opening day of the session Tuesday, lawmakers spoke optimistically about their ability to pass legislation. One of the most contentious issues in recent sessions has been criminal justice reform bill Senate Bill 91, which instituted alternatives to long prison terms to reduce the number of incarcerated people in the state. The bill went into law two years ago, and last session, the Legislature rolled back some of the items in the bill. Many in the Capitol, including Gov. Mike
Dunleavy, have expressed a desire to repeal the bill. Senate Majority Leader Mia Costello, R-Anchorage, said in a press conference Tuesday that one committee will take on an increased importance in that attempt. “We are committed to introducing legislation to address crime and finish the repeal effort so that Alaskans know that we are moving forward with a goal of safe, healthy and thriving communities as something that we prioritize,” Costello said. “We are all committed to that and that effort will be led by the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

Around Alaska Rodeo cow evades capture wandering Anchorage trails ANCHORAGE (AP) — A rodeo cow named Betsy has evaded capture for six months as she wanders the trails of Alaska’s biggest city, the cow’s owner said. The 3-year-old cow “busted out� of a pen before participating in junior events at the Father’s Day Rodeo in Anchorage, rodeo promoter Frank Koloski told the Anchorage Daily News. Betsy headed to the Hilltop Ski Area and was spotted grazing on slopes during the summer, Koloski said. She then moved to the network of trails that crisscross the Anchorage Hillside when snow fell. Trail users began spotting her in the fall, posting about their sightings on social media and giving Betsy near-celebrity status. With a rotating crew of others, Koloski said he has spent “hours, days probably� searching for the cow. Anchorage police, animal control authorities and the Bureau of Land Management have relayed information about the cow’s whereabouts, but she continues to elude him. “We’re out days. It’s nights. It’s weekends,� Koloski said. “If we get a nice night with a full moon, we go out as a group.� The forests just outside the city still have plenty of grass in tree wells where the snow hasn’t touched, Koloski said. Betsy also has access to fresh water sources. “This cow comes from an area where she’s been very self-sufficient,� Koloski said. People have tried to lure the cow with food, but that’s not a good idea, he said. “I know deep down this cow doesn’t want to be caught,� Koloski said.

and I had hoped that someone, somewhere with the wherewithal would begin an investigation. In the fall of 2018, a Los Angeles documentary producer told me that he is laying plans to visit Alaska to see if the reports are worthy of attention. Cable TV often likes to sensationalize stories into more than they should be, but the entertainment value of expounding upon a mystery creates the revenue that the state and federal government cannot afford themselves for thorough and serious research. With that, let us gladly accept the realities of investigative reporting in the 21st century and hope that accuracy rather than melodrama will be the outcome. On my radio show we occasionally discuss the truly unusual incident of June 2017 near Kokhanok, where nine adults, sporting two binoculars, all saw three enormous creatures, two smaller than the largest, about two miles offshore from a set-net site on Lake Iliamna. Bristol Bay commercial fisherman Gary Nielson maintained that the size of the largest was at least sixty feet. They spouted water, submerged, resurfaced and finally disappeared. The details arrested the attention of Alaska Magazine, which ran a brief account in the June 2018 issue. A local listener alerted me to the fact that Paul Boskoffsky, a man in his 80s whose experience includes being a pilot, commercial fisherman, guide, trapper, evangelical preacher and Bible camp founder on Lake Becharof, was startled by what he saw in June of 2018. Boskoffsky has made his life on Alaska’s second largest lake, about 80 miles due south of Iliamna. His adventures are recounted in a small autobiography, “A Man from Kanatak,” which does not include what he recently witnessed. During an interview about his life of faith and adventure, I asked Paul what he saw on Becharof last summer. His report certainly was a reasonable description of a white sturgeon, whose known range ends in southeast Alaska. Boskoffsky admitted that he and his boat companion were so flabbergasted that they failed to reach for the cellphone cameras during the approximately one minute that they observed it from about 300 yards. He stated it as being darkish in color, with a bony or bumpy spine, wallowed on the dead-calm surface and was about 15 feet long. This matches very well with a white sturgeon, and the discrepancy in light could account for making a fish appear dark from one angle while shiny bright from another. Columbia River sturgeon can easily go that size and reach weights of close to a ton. One online photo shows a sea lion grappling with a sturgeon. If the fresh water seals of Iliamna were ever witnessed doing such a thing, the fish and seal’s head might easily make for a confusing —- even fearsome —- spectacle of thrashing. Add to that composite views of two different animals, especially if viewed from lake level, and the witnesses can make perfectly reasonable reports of a monster. Many of the aerial spotters of the Iliamna creature over the years have made it a point to say that the giant creature never broke the surface. Estimates of 30 feet in length, if inaccurate, are perfectly reasonable when done from several hundred feet in the air. If the creatures of Lakes Iliamna, Clark and now Becharof are sturgeon —- and this is an admittedly inexpert opinion —- that in and of itself is newsworthy, lies outside of the limits of the known range and should be sufficient to obtain some official biological research. It does not, however, explain the Kokhanok sightings of 2017, sightings that as yet remain inexplicable and again permits the mystery to continue in all its speculative glory. Good hunting!

Letter to the Editor
Alaska AG’s support for Christian cross case is unacceptable As a local humanist, I find it wholly unacceptable that Alaska Attorney General Kevin G. Clarkson has signed onto an amicus brief in support of the massive Christian cross in Bladensburg, Maryland. This case is currently in front of the U.S. Supreme Court and has the potential to redefine how the country interprets religious liberty and the Establishment Clause. AG Clarkson had the opportunity to support an initiative to honor every service member and fallen veteran, regardless of their religious faith. Instead they are endorsing the Maryland government’s unconstitutional promotion of the Christian faith. The 40-foot-tall Latin cross was intentionally designed to resemble the Christian Cavalry Cross. It’s publicly owned and maintained with taxpayer funds. In fact, the local government has already spent more than $117,000 in maintenance of the religious symbol and has earmarked an additional $100,000 for refurbishment and repairs. More than that, this cross has carried Christian meaning since its very inception. In 1919, ground was broken for the cross on public land owned by the Town of Bladensburg. The project was initiated by the Good Roads League to memorialize World War I veterans. Their intent was to create a “mammoth cross, a likeness of the Cross of Calvary, as described in the Bible.” Donors signed a pledge stating that they “trust[ed] in God, the Supreme Ruler of the universe.” However, given the unveiling of a secular World War I memorial at the county courthouse around that time, many local citizens did not support the sectarian memorial. In 1922, the original committee abandoned their efforts. The cross sat unfin-
either being forced to stay at home or, in the case of those who have the bad luck of being designated “essential,” to work without pay. There are a few lawsuits rattling around; there always are. In Bob Franken essence, they claim that such work without pay is mandated slavery. President Trump has insisted that he can “relate” to their plight, even though he owns a private jet and claims to be a billionaire. Even so, some of the staff members who were designated “essential” tried to curry his favor by emailing memos to all hands containing strategies to survive. The Office of Personnel Management even offered sample letters that their unfortunates can send to those they owe — landlords, for instance — offering “to perform maintenance (e.g. painting, carpentry work) in exchange for partial rent payments.” If that sounded like it came from some graduates of Trump University’s Marie Antoinette School of Human Resources, the Coast Guard provided the icing on the cake. It was five pages of icing, called “Managing your finances during a furlough.” Guidance for the Coast Guard’s 8,500 civilian employees who are sailing
choppy waters as they struggle to stay financially afloat without their paycheck lifeboats. The tips included holding garage sales or selling things online, walking dogs or baby-sitting, tutoring and, of course, “Bankruptcy is a last option.” Bankruptcy has worked well for Donald Trump, but after the media picked up on the Coast Guard memo, it suddenly was deleted. Obviously, it embarrassed someone even without other money-raising tactics that might be a tad too controversial to mention here. Happily, some merchants have seen the public-relations value of announcing they would cut unpaid federal government employees some slack, but that’s uneven. Others, like many Transportation Security Administration officers, are calling in sick, which slows things down even more at our airports. That could mean airlines and other parts of the travel industry will use their deep-pocketed lobbying clout to put pressure on the politicians. I need to mention here that my wife is a federal employee, but realizing how unreliable and buffoonish our politicians are, we have put a few bucks aside each paycheck in case of the inevitable shutdown. By the way, you might be interested that the dime of 1932 is worth slightly more than $4.50 today. Or you might not be interested. The truth of the matter is that thousands upon thousands of these families, who live paycheck to paycheck, need more than a lousy $4.50 to tide them over.
ished and quickly became an eyesore. The town gave the local American Legion post the “care” of the land for the “completion” of the cross. The Legion held memorial services around the unfinished cross, at which a Christian pastor led prayer and those in attendance sang the Christian hymn “Nearer My God to Thee.” The cross was officially dedicated in 1925 at an elaborate ceremony featuring government officials and Christian clergy exclusively. The keynote speaker, Maryland Representative Stephen Gambrill, proclaimed: “by the token of this cross, symbolic of Calvary, let us keep fresh the memory of our boys who died for a righteous cause.” A Roman Catholic priest and a Baptist minister delivered Christian prayers. No other religions were represented. Frank Mountford, leading evangelist, held three “Sunday services” at the cross in 1931. In 1935, the State Roads Commission claimed it owned the land, and in 1956 the circuit court ruled that the State of Maryland was the rightful owner of the property. In 1960, the Maryland National Park and Planning Commission, a bi-county agency of Prince George’s and Montgomery counties, acquired the cross from the State Roads Commission for the purposes of “the future repair and maintenance of the monument.” In 1985, the commission spent $100,000 in taxpayer dollars on substantial renovations to the cross, followed by a grandiose rededication ceremony that was co-hosted by the Town of Bladensburg to rededicate the cross to veterans of “all wars.” The commission invited a priest, Father Chimiak, to deliver prayers, and later sent a letter thanking him “for his contributions to our programs and trust we may assimilate this relationship again.” In the intervening years, the cross has continued to serve as a purported tribute to “veterans of all wars” rather than the 49 men named on the plaque who died in World War I. A cross is wholly unacceptable on pub-
lic land and it is unable to fairly represent and honor veterans of all wars. Veterans of all faiths and none have served and died for our Constitution. The amicus brief that AG Clarkson signed onto fails to recognize the very rights for which those courageous veterans fought. — Carrie Henson, president Last Frontier Freethinkers, Soldotna

Nation/World Al-Shabab extremists claim attack on Nairobi hotel By JOSEPH MWIHIA Associated Press
NAIROBI, Kenya — Extremists stormed a luxury hotel in Kenya’s capital on Tuesday, setting off thunderous explosions and gunning down people at cafe tables in an attack claimed by Africa’s deadliest Islamic militant group. Witnesses reported seeing several bodies. “It is terrible. What I have seen is terrible,� said Charles Njenga, who ran from a scene of blood, broken glass, burning vehicles and pillars of black smoke. Al-Shabab — the Somaliabased group that carried out the 2013 attack at the nearby Westgate Mall in Nairobi that left 67 people dead — claimed responsibility for the carnage at the DusitD2 hotel complex, which includes bars, restaurants, offices and banks and is in a wellto-do neighborhood with many American, European and Indian expatriates. Authorities sent special forces into the hotel to flush out the gunmen. Late Tuesday night, about eight hours after the siege began, Interior Minister Fred Matian’i said that all of the buildings affected by the attack had been secured and that security forces were mopping up. “I would like to reiterate that the situation is under control and the country is safe,� he said. However, more gunfire was heard about an hour later, Kenyan broadcaster NTV reported. And some family members said they had been in touch

with loved ones still hiding inside the complex, waiting to be rescued. Matian’i did not disclose the number of dead and wounded. Authorities did not say how many attackers there were — or what happened to them — though Kenya’s Citizen TV aired security-camera footage that showed at least four heavily armed men in dark-colored paramilitary-style gear. A police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media said that bodies were seen in restaurants downstairs and in offices upstairs, but “there was no time to count the dead.� Also, a witness who gave his name only as Ken said he saw five bodies at the hotel entrance. He said that other peo-
ple were shouting for help and “when we rushed back to try to rescue them, gunshots started coming from upstairs, and we had to duck because they were targeting us and we could see two guys shooting.� The coordinated assault began with an explosion that targeted three vehicles outside a bank, and a suicide bombing in the hotel lobby that severely wounded a number of guests, said Kenya’s national police chief, Joseph Boinnet. Survivors reported hearing a shattering blast and saw people mowed down by gunmen as they sat in a cafe. Victims were left lying on tables, bleeding. “We were changing our shifts, and that is when I heard a loud blast and people were screaming,� said Enoch Kibet, who works as a cleaner at the
cafe and managed to crawl out a basement gate. “I couldn’t believe I was alive. The blast was so loud and shook the whole complex.� Kenyan hospitals appealed for blood donations even as the number of wounded remained unclear. Associated Press video from inside the hotel showed Kenyan security officers searching the building and scared workers emerging from hiding while gunfire could still be heard. Some climbed out a window by ladder. One man got up from the floor where he appeared to be trying to hide under a piece of wood paneling, then showed his ID. As officers searched luxury fashion displays, wounded people were carried away on stretchers.
High drama, few results as Trump warns of ‘long’ shutdown

WASHINGTON — Staring down the next deadline to pay federal workers, the White House shifted tactics Tuesday, trying to bypass House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to negotiate with rank-and-file lawmakers even as President Donald Trump dug in for a prolonged shutdown. The House and Senate announced they would stay in session, canceling an upcoming recess week at home if the shutdown continued, which seemed likely. On the shutdown’s 25th day, Trump did not move off his demand to have Congress provide $5.7 billion to build his promised border wall with Mexico. Democrats say they will discuss border security once the government has reopened, but Pelosi is refusing
money for the wall they view as ineffective and immoral. The president, on a conference call with supporters, showed no signs of backing down. “We’re going to stay out for a long time, if we have to,� Trump said. “We’ll be out for a long time.� With some 800,000 federal employees furloughed or working without pay, Trump suggested the partial shutdown that has clogged airport security lines and shuttered federal agencies was going smoothly. “People are very impressed with how well government is working with the circumstances that we’re under,� Trump said. Behind the scenes, though, the administration — and its allies on Capitol Hill — are warily eyeing the next payday, hoping to reach a resolution before next week’s Tuesday deadline when they’ll need to prepare
the next round of paychecks for workers who have been seeing zeros on their pay slips. “There is definitely a sense that there is a deadline approaching, which would be next Tuesday, to make sure that we’re able to solve this problem,� said Mercedes Schlapp, a White House spokeswoman. Tuesday brought another day of high theatrics, but low substance, as the shutdown dragged into its fourth week. The president, who a week ago seemed intent on declaring a national emergency in order to build the wall, has turned his attention back to Congress as polling shows he is taking much of the blame for the standoff. The White House invited rank-and-file lawmakers to lunch with Trump at the White House as part of a strategy to build support from centrist Democrats and newly elected freshmen, including those from areas where the president is popular with voters. But the White House quickly learned the limits of that approach. None of the House Democrats took Trump up on the offer. One, Rep. Lou Correa, DCalif., “welcomes the opportunity to talk with the President about border security,� his spokesman said, “as soon as the government is reopened.� Trump ended up lunching with a handful of lesser-known House Republicans. The White House will try again later this week, inviting a bipartisan group of lawmakers known as the Problem Solvers caucus to talks.

Trump urged his supporters to call the offices of Democratic lawmakers to press them to support the wall to reopen the government A short time later, a group of House Democrats made its way to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office demanding that he consider House-passed bills to fund the government. McConnell was not in his office at the time, so the Democrats left a note. McConnell says he doesn’t want to waste the Senate’s time and will only bring up measures that Trump will sign into law. Democrats, he said, have turned Trump’s wall into “something evil� and it’s time to get the country off the “political carousel� of the shutdown fight.
TEHRAN, Iran — An Iranian satellite-carrying rocket blasted off into space on Tuesday, but scientists failed to put the device into orbit in a launch previously criticized by the United States as helping the Islamic Republic further develop its ballistic missile program. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has alleged that Iran’s space program could help it develop a missile capable of carrying a nuclear weapon to the mainland U.S., criticism that comes amid the Trump administration’s maximalist approach against Tehran after withdrawing from the nuclear deal. Iran, which long has said it does not seek nuclear weapons, maintains that its satellite launches and rocket tests do not have a military component. Tehran also says they don’t violate a United Nations resolution that only “called upon� it not to conduct such tests. The rocket carrying the Payam satellite failed to reach the “necessary speed� in the third stage of its launch, Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi said. Jahromi said the rocket had successfully passed its first and second stages before developing problems in the third. That suggests something went wrong after the rocket pushed the satellite out of the Earth’s atmosphere. He did not elaborate on what caused the failure, but promised that Iranian scientists would continue their work. Iran had said that it plans to send two nonmilitary satellites, Payam and Doosti, into orbit. The Payam, which means “message� in Farsi, was an imagery satellite that Iranian officials said would help with farming and other activities. It’s unclear how the failure of the Payam will affect the launch timing for the Doosti, which means “friendship.� Jahromi wrote on Twitter that “Doosti is waiting for orbit,� without elaborating. Tuesday’s launch took place at Imam Khomeini Space Center in Iran’s Semnan province, a facility under the control of the country’s Defense Ministry, Jahromi said. Satellite images published last week and first reported by CNN showed activity at the launch site. Given the facility’s launching corridor, the satellite likely fell in the Indian Ocean. Iranian state television aired footage of its reporter narrating the launch of the Simorgh rocket, shouting over its roar that it sent “a message of the pride, self-confidence and willpower of Iranian youth to the world!� The TV footage shows the rocket becoming just a pinpoint of light in the darkened sky and not the moment of its failure.
The IRS is recalling 46,000 workers to handle tax returns WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is recalling about 46,000 of its employees furloughed by the government shutdown — nearly 60 percent of its workforce — to handle tax returns and pay out refunds. The employees won’t be paid. With the official start of the tax filing season coming Jan. 28, the Trump administration has promised that taxpayers owed refunds will be paid on time, despite the disruption in government services caused by the partial shutdown now in its fourth week. There had been growing concern that the shutdown would delay refunds going out because the money wouldn’t be available for them from Congress. Last week, the administration said customary shutdown policies will be reversed to make the money available and refund payments on time possible. An IRS document detailing its new shutdown plan shows that 46,052 agency employees will be called back to work, of the total workforce of 80,265. It says the plan will take effect as soon as the Treasury Department issues an official notice. — The Associated Press

Frigid days and a broken arm North Kenai, now Nikiski 1967 to January 1969 Chapter One We moved from a cold, cold large trailer house in a trailer court behind M and M Market, in North Kenai (now Nikiski) —where the bed sheets and blankets froze to the outer walls, and the windows and doors froze shut each night — to a house on Daniels Lake in January of 1968. To get out of the trailer door to go to work and get the kids to school, I had to take a kitchen knife and chunk away the ice on the frozen, ice-covered aluminum door to get out. The trailer, actually a very nice 14-by-72, was built in California. That should tell you that it had hardly any insulation at all, and the furnace was itty bitty. Big, single pane windows in a tip-out and large single pane windows in the kitchen. The floors were even colder! The kids and I went to bed in our coats and wool socks and I even put a stocking hat on my head. Oh my! We were cold. The house on Daniels Lake was a small travel trailer with a big wannagan or “built-on large 24by-42 room,” with a bedroom at one end, a small bedroom at the other end and an entry way. A great big fuel oil-fired stove in the middle of the room. We were warm! No bedclothes sticking to the walls and the door actually opened and shut when you went in or out. It had great big double-pane winterized windows across the front overlooking the lake, so we could see the kids playing and learning to ski and skate on Daniels Lake They would sled down our steep-curved, tree-lined driveway. No little plastic sleds — just plastic garbage bags, plastic sheeting, garbage pail lids, anything that was flat and would move fast on the hard ice-covered snow. We had one wooden sled — the oldfashioned kind with the steering in the front so you could (should) sit on it and guide yourself away from trees, bushes, cars and buildings. My one warning to all the kids was: DO NOT go down the hill head first! You will hit a tree and kill yourself! After a day of sledding, it was time to eat. I called everyone in to undress and hang the coats, gloves and hats beside the stove, and pull See ANNIE, page A7

This pork butt roast sings with orange juice, tomato paste By AMERICA’S TEST KITCHEN
In Mexico, the dish known as cochinita pibil is made by rubbing a whole suckling pig with warm spices and juice from bitter oranges, then wrapping it in banana leaves and slowly pit-roasting it until it is succulent and richly flavored. To achieve a similar dish at home, we turned to well-marbled pork butt roast and traded the banana leaves and pit of coals for a Dutch oven, which, when placed in a moderate oven, allowed the pork to braise gently to tenderness. To give the pork its distinctive flavor, usually achieved with hard-tofind ingredients like bitter oranges and annatto, we used frozen orange juice concentrate, tomato paste for color and depth, and bay leaves for herbal flavor. A quick habanero sauce, made with a traditional cooked-carrot base, and pickled red onions balanced out the rich meat. Pork butt roast is often labeled Boston butt. If you want a spicier sauce, you can add the remaining habanero; if you are spice-averse, substitute a less-spicy jalapeno for the habanero.
CITRUS-BRAISED PORK TACOS Servings: 6 Start to finish: 3 hours Pork: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 onion, chopped fine 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/3 cup tomato paste 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed 3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 5 bay leaves Salt and pepper 1 (2 1/2-to-3 pound) boneless pork butt roast, trimmed and cut into 1 inch chunks Pickled Red Onions: 1 red onion, halved and sliced thin 1 cup distilled white vinegar 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt Habanero Sauce: 1 cup water 1 carrot, peeled and chopped 1 vine-ripened tomato, cored and chopped 1/4 cup chopped onion 1/2 habanero chile, stemmed 1 garlic clove, smashed and peeled Salt and pepper 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving 18 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed For the pork: Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 300 F. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in garlic, cumin, oregano, allspice, and cinnamon and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until paste begins to darken, about 45 seconds. Stir in water, orange juice concentrate, 2 tablespoons vinegar, Worcestershire, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, scraping up any browned bits. Add pork and bring to boil. Transfer pot to oven and cook, uncovered, until pork is tender, about 2 hours,
stirring once halfway through cooking. For the pickled red onions: Meanwhile, place onion in medium bowl. Bring vinegar, sugar, and salt to simmer in small saucepan over mediumhigh heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Pour over onions and cover loosely. Let onions cool completely, about 30 minutes. (Onions can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.) For the habanero sauce: Combine water, carrot, tomato, onion, habanero, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in now-empty saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat and cook until carrot is tender, about 10 minutes. Off heat, let carrot mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Transfer carrot mixture to blender, add vinegar and lime juice, and process until smooth, 1 to
2 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste; set aside. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.) Remove pot from oven; discard bay leaves. Using potato masher, mash pork until finely shredded. Bring to simmer over medium-high heat and cook until most of liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve pork on tortillas with pickled red onions, habanero sauce, and lime wedges. ——— Nutrition information per serving: 524 calories; 150 calories from fat; 17 g fat (4 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 102 mg cholesterol; 473 mg sodium; 56 g carbohydrate; 6 g fiber; 21 g sugar; 36 g protein.
Never make dry or overcooked salmon by using a multicooker allowed us to regularly check the doneness of the fish, guaranteeing that it was cooked perfectly. To complete our healthy dinner, we made a fresh and light salad with cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and herbs. If using the slow cook function, check the salmon’s temperature after 15 minutes of cooking and continue to monitor until it registers 135 F.

Cooking salmon can be intimidating since it overcooks and dries out so easily. But the multicooker makes the process foolproof: The consistent mois-
ture level and temperature, as well as the precise timing safeguards against overcooking, produce evenly cooked salmon each and every time. Cooking the salmon on a foil sling made it easy to transfer in and out of
the multicooker, and propping the fish up on lemon slices insulated it from the direct heat. While both methods produced great salmon in under an hour, we slightly preferred the slow cook setting since it

Combine the rich layers of a croissant with the sweet swirls of a cinnamon bun and you’ll have one of our favorite brunch pastries: morning buns. For a simpler route to a yeasted, croissant-like pastry, we added a packet of yeast to a quick puff pastry dough. We created long, thin pieces of flake-producing butter by adding chilled butter to the dry ingredients in a zipper-lock bag and rolling over it with a rolling pin. Orange zest and juice offered sweet, citrusy brightness.

the liners out of the boots. David complained that his arm hurt. I was busy getting supper on the table, and I said, “Go wash your hands and eat.” He sat at the table and ate with his right hand — first clue I missed (he is lefthanded). The second clue was “my hand hurts” before he went to bed. My reply was “Get your jammies on. Go to bed. It will feel better in the morning. Good Night! Love ya.” Off he went to bed, just like he was told. About 2 o’clock in the morning, here was this little boy beside my bed, with tears running down his cheeks, “MOM my arm hurts really bad.” I took one look at his arm — it had swollen to double its size. I knew it was broken — I had seen it many times when I worked in the hospital in Colorado. I felt so bad. No phones to call a doctor, about 20 miles away in Kenai. I gave him a half aspirin and I put cold and hot compresses on it, until eight in the morning arrived. We started into town in the Ford four-wheel-drive pickup to get his arm fixed. We arrived at nine, just as Dr. Pete Hansen was opening up his office. The kindly doctor took one look, said, “It’s broken, but it is swollen so we will have to let the swelling go down before I put a cast on it. When did this happen?” I felt so guilty when I said, “Last night.” He never said a word, just turned around and got the gauze and splint and had his arm in good shape in no time. We had to go back and get a cast on it later. I never got over the fact that I ignored my son with a broken arm! But on the other hand, he did not kill himself going down the hill either! Yup! He had hit the big cottonwood tree with his hand, going down the hill head first!! CONTINUED NEXT WEEK
Today in History Today is Wednesday, Jan. 16, the 16th day of 2019. There are 349 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 16, 1920, Prohibition began in the United States as the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution took effect, one year to the day after its ratification. (It was later repealed by the 21st Amendment.) On this date: In 27 B.C., Caesar Augustus was declared the first Emperor of the Roman Empire by the Senate. In 1547, Ivan IV of Russia (popularly known as “Ivan the Terrible”) was crowned Czar. In 1865, Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman decreed that 400,000 acres of land in the South would be divided into 40-acre lots and given to former slaves. (The order, later revoked by President Andrew Johnson, is believed to have inspired the expression, “Forty acres and a mule.”) In 1912, a day before reaching the South Pole, British explorer Robert Scott and his expedition found evidence that Roald Amundsen of Norway and his team had gotten there ahead of them. In 1935, fugitive gangster Fred Barker and his mother, Kate “Ma” Barker, were killed in a shootout with the FBI at Lake Weir, Florida. In 1942, actress Carole Lombard, 33, her mother, Elizabeth, and 20 other people were killed when their plane crashed near Las Vegas, Nevada, while en route to California from a war-bond promotion tour. In 1978, NASA named 35 candidates to fly on the space shuttle, including Sally K. Ride, who became America’s first woman in space, and Guion S. Bluford Jr., who became America’s first black astronaut in space. In 1989, three days of rioting began in Miami when a police officer fatally shot Clement Lloyd, a black motorcyclist, causing a crash that also claimed the life of Lloyd’s passenger, Allan Blanchard. (The officer, William Lozano, was convicted of manslaughter, but then was acquitted in a retrial.) In 1991, the White House announced the start of Operation Desert Storm to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait. (Allied forces prevailed on Feb. 28, 1991.) In 1992, officials of the government of El Salvador and rebel leaders signed a pact in Mexico City ending 12 years of civil war that had left at least 75,000 people dead. In 2003, the space shuttle Columbia blasted off for what turned out to be its last flight; on board was Israel’s first astronaut, Ilan Ramon (ee-LAHN’ rah-MOHN’). (The mission ended in tragedy on Feb. 1, when the shuttle broke up during its return descent, killing all seven crew members.) In 2007, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., launched his successful bid for the White House. Ten years ago: President-elect Barack Obama made a pitch for his massive economic stimulus plan at a factory in Bedford Heights, Ohio, saying his proposal would make smart investments in the country’s future and create solid jobs in up-and-coming industries. Painter Andrew Wyeth died in Chadds Ford, Pa., at age 91. John Mortimer, the British lawyer-writer who’d created the curmudgeonly criminal lawyer Rumpole of the Bailey, died in the Chiltern Hills, England, at age 85. Five years ago: The Vatican was called to account for the global priest sex abuse scandal as U.N. experts in Geneva interrogated the Holy See for eight hours about the scale of abuse, and what it was doing to prevent it. The U.S. Senate voted 72-26 for a $1.1 trillion government-wide spending bill, sending it to President Barack Obama for his signature. The state of Ohio executed Dennis McGuire for the 1989 rape and fatal stabbing of pregnant newlywed Joy Stewart; McGuire gasped and snorted for 26 minutes before he was declared dead, raising questions about the drugs used in his lethal injection. Death claimed actors Russell Johnson (“Gilligan’s Island”) at age 89 and Dave Madden (“The Partridge Family”) at age 82. One year ago: The Trump administration cut tens of millions of dollars for Palestinian refugees, demanding that the U.N. agency responsible for the programs undertake a “fundamental re-examination.” Pope Francis met with survivors of priests who sexually abused them; a spokesman said Francis wept with them and apologized for the “irreparable damage” they suffered. Authorities in Denmark charged inventor Peter Madsen with killing Swedish journalist Kim Wall during a trip on his private submarine. (Madsen was convicted in April and sentenced to life in prison.) Today’s Birthdays: Author William Kennedy is 91. Author-editor Norman Podhoretz is 89. Opera singer Marilyn Horne is 85. Hall of Fame auto racer A.J. Foyt is 84. Singer Barbara Lynn is 77.

Homer topples Soldotna

DENVER — Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson each scored 31 points as the Golden State Warriors, propelled by an NBA-record, 51-point first quarter, regained the top spot in the Western Conference by routing the Denver Nuggets 142-111 on Tuesday night. Golden State cruised to a fifth straight win to move a half-game in front of the Nuggets, who had their 12-game home winning streak snapped. 76ERS 149, TIMBERWOLVES 107 PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid had 31 points and 13 rebounds, and Philadelphia scored 83 points in the first half in a thrashing of Minnesota in Jimmy Butler’s first game against his former team. The Golden State Warriors were the only team to score more first-half points in a game this season when they dropped 92 on the Chicago Bulls on Oct. 29. The Sixers hit a team-record 21 3-pointers and reached their highest point total in the 22-year history of the Wells Fargo Center.
HAWKS 142, THUNDER 126 ATLANTA — Trae Young had 24 points and 11 assists to win the showdown of past and former Atlanta point guards, leading the Hawks over Oklahoma City. Former Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder scored 21 points in his return to Atlanta. Schroder struggled early but had 14 points in the third period when the Thunder outscored the Hawks 4127 to reclaim the lead.

The loss of eight key Homer seniors coupled with the returning cast of rising Soldotna skaters left the debate of who would stand as the top peninsula hockey team in question as this prep season opened. The Homer Mariners helped answer the question to that debate Tuesday night with a statement win on SoHi’s home ice, prevailing 6-3 in a feisty Railbelt Conference meeting at the Soldotna Regional Sports Complex. Homer lost to SoHi 4-0 on Dec. 7 at its home rink, but channeled energy and momentum into its raucous style of play to return the favor Tuesday. Homer junior Ethan Pitzman rang up a hat trick and tallied the biggest goal of the night with 6:18 to go to give Homer the lead back after SoHi rallied to tie it in the third period. “We kept the energy up on the bench, yelling and tapping the boards,” Pitzman said. “We just tried to keep any momentum up.” Isaiah Nevak notched two goals for Homer, while Hunter Warren held up his end in the Mariners net with 32 saves on 35 shots “We can always count on Hunter,” said Homer head coach Steve Nevak. “It’s never a worry with him in goal.” SoHi starting goaltender Josh Tree stopped nine of 12 shots over the first two periods, then Corbin Wirz took over for the third frame to stop four of six shots. Alex Montague, Galen Brantley III and Ethan Yeager scored each for SoHi. The play at times became rough as both teams fought for every inch and resulted in some pushing and shoving late in the second See PUCK, page A9

Islanders nip Blues for 12th victory in 15 games By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Valtteri Filppula scored 1:37 into overtime and the New York Islanders beat the St. Louis Blues 2-1 Tuesday night for their 12th win in 15 games. Jordan Eberle had a goal in the first period for New York, and Robin Lehner stopped 30 shots. David Perron scored the tying goal in the third period for the Blues, and Jordan Binnington — making his fourth straight start and fourth of his career — finished with 23 saves. St. Louis had won three straight and five of its previous seven. On the winner, Filppula jumped on the ice, got a pass from Mathew Barzal and skated in on Binnington before beating him from the right side for his 10th of the season.

RED WINGS 3, DUCKS 1 DETROIT — Gustav Nyquist broke a tie with 4:16 left and Darren Helm scored a little later, lifting Detroit and extending Anaheim’s franchise-record losing streak to 12 games. Nyquist lifted his stick at the left side of the net and tipped in Danny DeKeyser’s shot from the slot. Helm’s goal with 2:33 remaining gave the Red Wings a two-goal cushion. John Gibson stopped 22 shots for the Ducks, who haven’t won since Dec. 17. Prior to the skid, they had won nine of 10. Detroit won consecutive games for the first time in more than a month. Rickard Rakell deflected a shot past Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard midway through the second period on a power play. Howard finished with 23 saves.

No. 4 Virginia cruises past No. 9 Virginia Tech By The Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — De’Andre Hunter scored 21 points and Ty Jerome had 14 and a career-high 12 assists as No. 4 Virginia started fast and routed No. 9 Virginia Tech 81-59 on Tuesday night. Kyle Guy added 15 points for the Cavaliers (16-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who never trailed in the first meeting of the programs in which both were ranked in the top 10. Virginia also remained one of two unbeaten teams in the country along with Michigan, which was idle.
Grant Williams scored 18 points for Tennessee and made all 14 of his freethrow attempts. Admiral Schofield scored all 17 of his points in the second half, and Kyle Alexander added 12 points.

BOISE, Idaho — Cody Martin hit a 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds remaining to help No. 10 Nevada beat Boise State. Boise State (8-9, 3-1) had a chance to win it, but Justinian Jessup’s long 3-point heave at the buzzer fell short.

period. Homer committed eight penalties in the final two periods alone. Pitzman said he knows many of SoHi’s players well from the club level, but when the two high school teams face off, there are no friends — at least for 45 minutes. “We scored 10 (goals) on them regularly last year, but this year we came out and wanted to show we can still do it,” Pitzman said. “… It’s a friendly rivalry, but I think we showed we can (still be the top team) tonight.” After a breakout 2017 season that saw Homer stake its claim as not only the top peninsula team, but one of the top teams in the conference, the Mariners returned in 2018 challenged to regain that glory after the loss of
a star-studded senior class. While the Mariners haven’t shown the kind of goal-scoring punch they had last year, Pitzman and company still have a 6-1 conference record. Soldotna (7-1 Railbelt) lost its first conference contest this season. Nevak said as the play between the two teams has evened out in 2018, any night could go either way between Homer and SoHi. “It’s any given night right now,” Nevak said. “Who knows?” Montague opened the scoring for SoHi just 3:47 into the game with a breakaway chance that Montague finished with an upper left shot into the netting, putting the Stars up 1-0. Pitzman scored his first of the evening with 4:58 left in the first period to even it up, taking a cross-ice pass from Tucker Weston to slot in the goal. Tyler Gilliland gave Homer

Soldotna came roaring back in the third period, however. Brantley III collected the puck at the right corner of the crease and had an easy look at net to score less than two minutes into the third to cut the Homer lead to 3-2. Yeager then tied the game with 7:30 left as a shot rebounded off the pads of Warren, then trickled back and underneath Warren to sneak in for a gametying goal. However, Pitzman completed his hat trick with his biggest goal of the night with 6:18 to go, rattling a wrist shot by Wirz to give the Mariners the lead back at 4-3. “I told the boys, ‘Let’s dig,

Nick Perkins added 14 points for the Bulls (16-1, 4-0 Mid-American Conference), who trailed by 11 in the first half and struggled to shake free of WMU until the very end. Buffalo had won its first three MAC games by a combined 70 points. The Broncos (6-11, 0-4) went on a 15-0 run in the first half and led 33-22, but Buffalo rebounded quickly and led 43-39 at halftime.

Teen lets her temper spoil fun with family and friends healthy, successful relationships. The trick is learning to express anger in constructive rather than destructive ways. My booklet “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It” offers suggestions on how to recognize you are angry before you lose control and how to channel it appropriately. Abigail Van Buren It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus a check or money order for $8 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. I hope it will be helpful for you. It takes maturity to identify and verbalize negative emotions rather than lash out at others. Being able to calmly say, “I’m having a bad day today,” or, “When you say (or do) that, it makes me angry” will earn you the respect of others. And it is the key to defusing anger before you lose control.
DEAR ABBY: I just finished building my dream home. My dilemma is, now that I have a wonderful home gym, my in-laws want to use it. I feel selfish saying no. But I’m a very private and somewhat introverted person, and I really like my space. I’m afraid if I agree, it may become inconvenient for me when I want to use it. Where do I draw the line? Am I being selfish? If not, how do I refuse without disrupting the family dynamics? I have a feeling it wouldn’t sit well, and so far, I’ve been coming up with excuses to avoid the situation. Please help. -- RUNNING OUT OF EXCUSES DEAR RUNNING OUT: A tactful solution might be to “remind” your in-laws that you want the gym to be available for your private use when you need it, and suggest some hours or days when there wouldn’t be a conflict. And hold a good thought. Interest in working out in gyms is notoriously short-lived, so your problem may disappear in quick time. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2019: This year you have many moments of reflection. You like stability, and you will hold on to it until the very last moment, when you are forced to let go. When you are flexible, you will be more content. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance at the end of this birthday year. Until then, enjoy dating. If you are attached, the two of you seem to be nestling in. You could opt for a major change of lifestyle toward the end of the year. GEMINI delights in teasing you. 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) HHHH Avoid a financial setback. You might need to revise your stance so that others can identify with your views. Share more of your thinking, especially toward the end of the day. You see life from a different point of view once you internalize others’ ideas. Tonight: At a favorite haunt. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You could be stuck in a certain perspective, but given 24 hours, you will grow past it. Someone presents an irrevocable point of view, which, if you are listening, is likely to open you up. You flow naturally with someone who is quite unique. Tonight: Run errands first. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might note that you move slowly in the morning, which is unusual for you. Nevertheless, don’t push yourself too hard. You will have the opportunity to gather information and assess its impact. Be sure to

weigh the pros and cons. Tonight: You are a force to be dealt with. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Use the daylight hours to the max. Be more direct in how you deal with a child or loved one when he or she responds to you. Your ideas carry weight with your inner circle. Focus on a key priority. If you’re feeling worn out, make it an early bedtime. Tonight: Life is about to get dicey! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Do not question the fact that you have your share of admirers. A problem emerges that will be difficult to handle if you do not put your cards on the table today. You will be a lot happier if you choose to embrace your leadership abilities. Tonight: Let your hair down, and be yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH If you take a long-term view, you will see that a decision changes the outcome radically. Making a wise choice could be helpful. Others will strive to understand your reasoning. Be willing to explain where you are coming from. Schedule a late-day meeting. Tonight: Dinner out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH One-on-one relating is highlighted. In fact, you might be so involved with the immediate situation that you have lost perspective on the long term. Before you make any agreements, pull away for a little while. This process could save you a lot of angst. Tonight: Try something new. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH People interest you, as you witness some old actions and remarkable statements. You could have a problem focusing on the big

picture. If you can detach, perhaps in the late afternoon, you could see a whole different perspective. React at that point. Tonight: Be part of a duo. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Dive into work with enthusiasm and energy. You clear out a lot of work but also need to have some discussions. Schedule a late meeting for a talk about a certain situation. You will get some feedback from others that will be worth listening to. Tonight: Meet up with friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your creativity emerges in a discussion. In fact, you could have a problem settling in and having this talk. You might believe it is more ominous than it is, but you soon will discover otherwise. This situation draws out your imagination and others’ goodwill. Tonight: Keep it light. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your light and easy style might not be coming through in the way that you’d like it to. Be direct and clear with others, as well as yourself. You might need a timeout from your routine. If you can schedule one ASAP, you will feel the difference quickly. Tonight: Opt to be less social. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Speak your mind and handle a difficult problem openly. Be willing to work with suggestions, and have a sustained conversation before you make a decision as to what path to go down. You are full of energy, and might overwhelm others. Tonight: Make it early. BORN TODAY Filmmaker John Carpenter (1948), radio host Laura Schlessinger (1947), actress Debbie Allen (1950)
My flames have fizzled `Dear Heloise: The flames from the burners on my GAS STOVE do not burn evenly. What should I do to correct this problem? -- Olivia T., Smyrna, Del. Olivia, first remove the grates over each burner and look carefully to see if the holes are clogged. Clean them well with a toothbrush and make certain they’re greasefree. Then, using a toothpick, poke open each little hole to be sure there is nothing blocking them. That should do the trick! (If it doesn’t, please contact the manufacturer for further help.) -- Heloise ‘MUST GO’ NIGHT Dear Heloise: Your article “A Rose By Any Other Name” about eating leftover food made me remember my mother calling it “Must Go” dinner. -- Rudy K., Acworth, N.H. Rudy, I always loved leftover nights because we could pick and choose what we wanted. Leftover pizza, coleslaw and chicken -- yum! -- Heloise GO BANANAS FOR BANANAS Dear Heloise: Do you know what is causing all the spots on bananas? They are disgusting, and I end up throwing so much fruit away. These spots were not in bananas years ago. Is it a disease? -- Marian D., Colorado Springs, Colo. Marian, the banana, which botanically is a berry, develops those brown spots because the starch turns to higher levels of sugar. There is nothing wrong with the banana if it has “freckles,” and in fact, in a controlled Japanese study carried out at the University of Tokyo, researchers discovered that overripe bananas were rich in antioxidants. The more brown spots a banana has, the better, because those antioxidants destroy free radicals, which are believed to cause damage to the human body. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl. I’m a fun person to be with, and I love spending time with my friends and family. But one thing sometimes ruins it. I have a bit of a temper and some anger problems. I’m wondering if you have anything that could help me control my temper and be nicer to people? I get into disagreements with people I care about because of my attitude. Can you give me some guidance? -- TESTY TEEN IN WISCONSIN DEAR TEEN: If you think you are the only person with anger issues, you are mistaken. We are living in increasingly stressful times that have affected most of us in one way or another. It takes self-control -- and maturity -- to react calmly instead of spouting off angrily. Before you can deal with your anger problem you need to be able to pinpoint what makes you lose control. The problem with a hair-trigger temper is that those who fly off the handle sometimes shoot themselves in the foot. While anger is a normal emotion we all experience at one time or another, most people start learning to control it during childhood. Uncontrolled anger is destructive because it drives others away, making it impossible to maintain
