Report: Warmer temperatures could cost Alaska up to $700M ANCHORAGE (AP) — The effects of climate change could cost Alaska hundreds of millions of dollars per year in the coming decades, according to a new study. The Institute of Social and Economic Research at the University of Alaska Anchorage has projected that the warmer climate could cause the state a net loss of $340 million to $700 million per year, the Alaska Journal of Commerce reported Wednesday. The report published by the institute in November focuses on the net costs of five widely reported effects over the next 30 to 50 years. The projections are based on the state’s annual average temperatures rising by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius by 2050. The economic effects would not be distributed evenly across the state “as rural communities face large projected costs while more southerly urban residents experience net gain,� the report states. A major part of the overall cost is from infrastructure damage caused by thawing permafrost and coastal erosion, accounting for an expected $250 million to $420 million per year. An additional $110 million to $270 million is expected to be needed annually to maintain certain parts of Alaska’s infrastructure, according to the Fourth National Climate Assessment by the U.S. Global Change Research Program. The state’s current erosion problems, particularly along the western coast, are likely to get worse, according to the report. “Longer sea ice-free seasons, higher ground temperatures, and relative sea level rise are expected to exacerbate flooding and accelerate erosion in many regions, leading to the loss of terrestrial habitat in the future and in some cases requiring entire communities or portions of communities to relocate to safer terrain,� the reports states.

Dunleavy asks for disaster declaration Judge By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press
JUNEAU — Gov. Mike Dunleavy on Thursday requested a major disaster declaration from the federal government following the Nov. 30 earthquake that rocked Anchorage and other parts of south-central Alaska. Dunleavy told reporters from Anchorage that the declaration, if approved, would free up money to help the state recover more quickly from the magnitude 7.0 earthquake. In his letter seeking the declaration, he wrote federal assistance is “essential to long-term recovery.� Initial damage assessments and costs for needs such
ongoing partial federal government shutdown would affect the state’s request. But he said people at the federal level with whom state officials have been communicating are aware of the state’s situation and the government’s “obligation� to provide assistance. Mike Anderson, a spokesman for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, said by email that the state’s congressional delegation was working to minimize any potential This Nov. 30, 2018 file photo shows cases of beer jumbled in a disruptions to the Federal walk-in cooler at Value Liquor after an earthquake in Anchor- Emergency Management age.

Worst cook in America? Ninilchik man competes on Food Network’s reality TV show By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Ninilchik’s Charles Oakley is one of the Worst Cooks in America. Oakley is the first Alaskan to compete on the Food Network reality TV show, which takes a number of contestants with little skill in the kitchen through a culinary boot camp where they compete to win a cash prize of $25,000 and a Food Network cooking set by presenting the best three-course meal to several food critics. Oakley’s wife, Melissa, has always had a rule in the house when Charles was cooking: the fire extinguisher must be close by. “I am the only person in history that has started a gas fire on an electric stove,� Oakley said. Since competing in season 15 of the Food Network show, Oakley said his wife has loosened the fire extinguisher rule. See COOK, page A2

dismisses Alaska bonding plan lawsuit By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press
JUNEAU — A state court judge has dismissed a challenge to former Gov. Bill Walker’s plan to use bonding to pay Alaska’s oil and gas tax credit obligations. Superior Court Judge Jude Pate, in a written order dated Wednesday, granted the state’s request to dismiss the challenge by resident Eric Forrer. Pate said his role is not to make economic policy judgments or second-guess the Legislature but to apply the law of the state Constitution as interpreted by the Alaska Supreme Court. Lawmakers last year passed legislation to establish a new state corporation that would be empowered to sell up to $1 billion in bonds to pay off remaining tax credit obligations. Legislators previously voted to end a tax credit program geared toward small producers and developers because they said it was no longer affordable. Pate said key to his order were a section of the constitution dealing with state debt and a state Supreme Court case involving a lease-purchase agreement. Within that context, Pate wrote that the bonding proposal passes constitutional muster. Jahna Lindemuth, as attorney general under Walker, last year wrote the proposed bonds at issue with Walker’s plan would be “subject-to-approSee SUIT, page A2
State Troopers conclude holiday enforcement campaign By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
The Alaska Department of Public Safety has released its annual report on the holiday highvisibility enforcement efforts by State and Wildlife troopers. According to a Jan. 2 release by the Department of Public Safety, from Dec. 13, 2018 to Jan. 1,
2019, troopers made the following contacts: r NJTEFNFBOPS %6* BSrests, 0 felony DUI arrests r ESJWFST DIBSHFE XJUI ESJWing with a suspended or revoked license. r 3&%%* 3FQPSU &WFSZ Dangerous Driver Immediately) alerts reported, with 15 drivers contacted and ultimately deter-
mined not to be driving under the influence r EBNBHF POMZ DSBTIFT 18 injury crashes, and 2 fatal collisions were investigated by troopers r 0G UIF DJUBUJPOT JTTVFE 253 were issued for speeding and 12 issued for seatbelt or other occupant restraint violations. The enforcement campaign
is part of an annual effort to remind Alaskans to drive sober and safely during the holiday season. “The focused enforcement by the Alaska State Troopers and Alaska Wildlife Troopers over the holiday is intended to prevent major injury and fatality crashes through enhanced enforcement,� the Jan. 2 release states. “While the troopers are out to curb DUIs,
they will also be on the lookout for additional driver behaviors that often contribute to fatal crashes, such as speeding and driving too fast for conditions.� The campaign is part of the national “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over� program, which was originally launched in 2012 and is spearheaded by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration.
Land swap to lead to logging in Southeast By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire
The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority board approved a land exchange with the U.S. Forest Service, with the aim of getting timber projects off the ground in Southeast. Wyn Menefee, the executive director of the AMHTA Trust Land Office (TLO), said it’s the biggest land exchange in the trust’s history. Though the exact amount of land still has to be worked out, the AMHTA Board of Trustees approved the exchange that will send more than 20,000 acres of USFS land to the trust for more than 18,000 acres of trust lands throughout Southeast. Menefee said the trust is hoping to make money off

its newly acquired lands with timber harvesting. According to the TLO website, the lands could yield between $40 and
$60 million over the next 20 years. Lands going to the Forest Service will be protected, Menefee explained. The over-
all aim of the land exchange is to protect viewsheds while logging less-sensitive lands to earn money for the trust. As part of the exchange, the trust is giving nearly 2,700 acres of land on Douglas Island — land that includes the Mount Bradley (Mount Jumbo) Trail — to the Forest Service. Menefee said the Forest Service is not allowed to do logging on the lands it’s receiving as part of the deal. “The Forest Service won’t be doing any timber cuts on it,� Menefee said. “It will most likely be managed for recreation.� Forest Service representatives were not able to be reached for comment, with the public affairs staff being on furlough due to the partial federal government shutdown.
Calls, emails and texts to multiple spokespeople were not returned. During the AMHTA’s public board meeting Thursday, the main focus was about the possible value of logging in the area of Naukati Bay on Prince of Wales Island. According to the AMHTA’s website, the TLO is working to complete a timber sale to Viking Lumber for old-growth timber in the Naukati Bay area. This 100-million-board-feet timber sale is expected to yield about $15 million to the trust over 10 years. “Naukati is prime timber land,� AMHTA Senior Resource Manager Paul Slenkamp said during the meeting. “We spent a lot of time to identify lands that will be longSee LOG, page A2

Menefee explained via email Thursday that it’s still up in the air whether they get those parcels. The trust must get an equal value for the land it gives in an exchange, Menefee explained. Appraisers have yet to complete their appraisals of all the land involved in the exchange, and the amount of land the trust gets depends on how much the land on both sides of the deal is appraised

state’s obligation was subject to appropriation, the deal limited recourse against the state and it did not bind future legislatures. Pate said the bonding proposal has similar features. Forrer’s concern the proposal “may saddle future generations of Alaskans with a crushing economic burden are genuine and deserve serious consideration,” Pate wrote. But, the judge added, the
decision in the lease-agreement case shows when an agreement does not create a legally enforceable debt against the state, “the court should not engage in second guessing the wisdom of the legislature’s fiscal policy decisions, even when those decisions may have a negative impact on the State’s credit rating.” Joe Geldhof, an attorney for Forrer, by email Thursday called the decision “a seismic
shift in how Alaska deals with debt and interprets our state’s constitution and the impact of allowing this kind of non-debt ‘debt’ will likely be enormous.” “The original framers of Alaska’s Constitution would be stunned at this kind of loose interpretation of our most fundamental organizational document,” Geldhof wrote. Forrer said an appeal was probable.
Cooks in America.” “She recommended I apply for the safety of our home,” Oakley joked. Raised on his family’s homestead near Ninilchik, Oakley said his experience with food and cooking was very localized. He said the family rarely traveled to the grocery store, as it was an 80-mile round-trip journey to Soldotna. “Growing up, we either grew it, hunted it, fished it or raised it,” Oakley said. Oakley and his family live in Anchorage now, but his dad still maintains the family homestead. Alaskans may recognize Oakley’s name. He’s a professional artist, with pieces in
more than 180 galleries around the state. For those who visit the Alaska State Fair, Oakley is known for his spray-paint art. He said growing up on the Kenai Peninsula has inspired him artistically. Until competing on the show, Oakley said he never related art and cooking. Now, cooking and art are synonymous. “Cooking is just like doing artwork — you’ve got processes and materials,” Oakley said. “Once I started thinking of it as art, I (cook) for entertainment now.” Changing his outlook on the process of cooking was Oakley’s biggest hurdle on the show, he said. “My biggest challenge was
finding the willingness to learn and overcome fears,” Oakley said. His biggest joy was meeting and working with hosts and chefs, Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence. “They are two of the finest chefs in America,” Oakley said. “They are artists in their own right.” Oakley said he’s excited to cook more at home and provide for his family. “If I have a recipe, I can make anything,” Oakley said. “Sky’s the limit.” Catch Oakley on Season 15 of “Worst Cooks in America,” which premieres 9 p.m. Eastern time, on Jan. 6 on Food Network.

The trust has committed about $6.3 million to working on the land exchange, according to the meeting materials. The board’s approval is one of the last steps in a process that has taken more than a decade. The exchange required both state and federal legislation. President Donald Trump signed a federal bill called S.131 into law in May 2017. Former Gov. Bill Walker signed Senate Bill 88 into law in October 2017. Both of those bills authorized the exchange. Now the board has to send a letter to Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer and he can put the state law into effect. The federal bill states that the primary goals of the exchange are to preserve the natural beauty of Southeast while also creating jobs and serving the goals of the AMH-
TA. The trust authority has land throughout the state, and its main purpose is to manage those lands in a way that brings in money to give to Alaskans with mental illness, developmental disabilities, chronic alcoholism, traumatic brain injuries and more. Menefee said he felt this was a “win-win” for the trust and the Forest Service. At the signing ceremony for the state bill in 2017, Walker and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski used the same phrase. “Because of this exchange,” the Ketchikan Daily News quoted Murkowski as saying, “we have protected viewshed, we have allowed for support for our timber industry because of the exchange and again, provided a valuable resource to the Alaska Mental Health Trust.”
It’s also not clear whether all the land the trust gains will be used for timber, Menefee said. Naukati will definitely be used for timber, he said, but if there are more lucrative uses for other lands they get, they’ll look into those. “Timber harvest is one of the primary ways that the trust can monetize its assets but other potential revenue generation options will always be considered,” Menefee said via email. The land exchange will be done in two phases, with the initial exchange happening later this month (the date depends on when the government shutdown ends) and with the second phase happening next year, Menefee said. The parcel on Douglas will be part of next year’s exchange.

What Others Say
In Romney, the Senate might get the bipartisan critic it needs Now that he’s entering the US Senate
as part of the majority party, Mitt Romney has real power. He also has some real problems with Donald Trump, which the former Massachusetts governor laid out in a buzzy op-ed in The Washington Post on Wednesday that trashed Trump’s handling of the presidency and promised that Romney would “speak out” against “statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions.” Speaking out, of course, is grand — and publishing such a scathing op-ed on the eve of his swearing-in sent an encouraging symbolic message. But the bigger test is whether Romney, who was elected in November to represent Utah, will actually put some of his new power behind those words. If he does, he can help both the country and the Senate weather the Trump presidency. That’s a big if, and here in Massachusetts it’s easy to snicker at Romney’s latest political reinvention. Romney has been a Massachusetts moderate, a varmint-hunting conservative, a vocal critic of candidate Trump, and a tame recipient of President Trump’s support in his most recent Senate run. Romney is also shadowed by the sad examples of Jeff Flake and Bob Corker, Republican senators who criticized Trump rhetorically but were unable or unwilling to use their power to influence his behavior. It’s not that Republicans like Romney should be expected to start voting for Democratic bills just to signal their displeasure with Trump. But senators can withhold their votes on bills or nominations to extract concessions; horse-trade to get what they want; issue subpoenas and conduct real oversight of federal agencies. At the very end of his Senate career — that is, when it no longer really mattered — Flake said he would stop voting for Trump’s judicial nominees until legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller passed. Imagine if Flake had made use of his leverage like that in September. Trump’s nominations to fill cabinet vacancies will pose an early opportunity for Romney to translate his words into action. As Romney noted in the Post op-ed, the president has replaced experienced officials with “senior persons of lesser experience.” Senators will need to scrutinize the nominees Trump puts forward. They need to take an especially hard look at attorney general nominee William P. Barr: If Barr can’t guarantee to senators that he’ll allow the Mueller probe to reach its conclusion without interference, and make its results public, the Senate should reject him. Implicitly, part of Romney’s op-ed was directed at the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who has seemed comfortable turning his chamber into an appendage of the White House. Under McConnell, Senate Republicans have generally looked the other way from the president’s various disgraces as long as he keeps supporting GOP nominations and legislation. That’s just the kind of bargain that Romney criticized in his op-ed: “policies and appointments are only a part of a presidency,” he wrote. Challenging Trump will also inevitably mean challenging the way McConnell runs the Senate, and pushing the Senate GOP to act independently of the White House. With the op-ed, Romney triggered a frenzy of speculation that he was preparing to challenge Trump from within in the 2020 Republican primaries. He denied any intention to his run in a CNN interview Wednesday afternoon. Whatever his plans, it’s encouraging that Romney is picking up the baton from Corker and Flake, whose Senate careers ended Thursday. The resistance to Trump needs to be bipartisan.
The irrational allergy to the wall
It’s a wonder that Democrats haven’t staked out a negotiating position demanding the destruction of already-existing barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. Their opposition to President Donald Trump’s border wall (or, more properly, his so-called wall) is now so total as to be nearly indistinguishable from opposition to any serious infrastructure at the border at all. The partial government shutdown is fueled by a clash of visions over, ultimately, the legitimacy of borders and, proximately, physical barriers to make our southern border more secure. Trump has the better part of the argument, but his lurch into the shutdown with no discernible strategy and his scattershot pronouncements make it unlikely that his view will carry the day. Obviously, a 2,000-mile-long border wall rivaling the best work of the Ming Dynasty never made any sense, and was never going to happen. Nor, short of Trump finding a latter-day Gen. Winfield Scott to go occupy Mexico City, was Mexico going to suffer the humiliation of funding a Yanqui border wall. This was all lurid fantasy, and Trump has conceded as much, although he will, at times, deny having conceded as much. His ambitions are now much more reasonable, involving the kind of up-to-date bollard or “steel slat” fencing that already exists in places. But he’s running into an opposition that is much less reasonable. Triggered as always by Trump, and grow-
It doesn’t involve deporting anyone. It doesn’t separate families. It doesn’t prosecute and detain anyone. It doesn’t deny any illegal immigrant currently working in the United States a job. All it does is seek to avoid getting in a situation where these other things are necessary in the first place. A wall doesn’t close down the border, or close us off to the world. There are still ports of entry. People can still travel to and from Mexico. People can still, for that matter, fly to Paris. It just diminishes illegal entry at certain strategic points. Robust fencing made an enormous difference in stopping illegal crossings in Yuma, Arizona. The area had only about 5 miles of fencing in the mid-2000s, then saw the extent of its fencing increase tenfold. Illegal crossings plummeted. Yuma got that additional fencing thanks to the passage of the Secure Fence Act in 2006 on a bipartisan basis, prior to the Democratic Party becoming unsettled by the prospect of putting physical barriers in the way of illegal entrants. The wall isn’t the most important immigration enforcement measure. Requiring employers to verify the legal status of their employees would be much more consequential. But the wall has taken on great symbolic significance. What it denotes, perhaps more than anything else, is the growing irrationality of the Democrats on immigration.

Gov. Dunleavy leaves Alaskans in a ditch
When our new governor took down the “Climate Action for Alaska” webpage as one of the first acts of his administration, he left us in a ditch. Gov. Dunleavy took his Alaska-is-open-for-business ribboncutting scissors and cut our tow rope. He proudly stood tall against…basic science? Alaskans need to push back and let him know we expect a state-level response to our climate emergency. We want to reduce our emissions and be prepared as we face the changing reality of a rapidly warming climate. Gov. Dunleavy puts all Alaskans at risk by ignoring science and undermining our right to relevant information. In the days following the magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Anchorage, we learned that science saves lives. Scientists and engineers study our frequent quakes and their knowledge shapes our building codes and zoning decisions. This earthquake taught us how short-term cost savings in fill material may leave a homeowner paying more later in foundation repairs. This new knowledge will improve our resilience during future quakes. Alaskans got through Nov. 30 safely because of science-based decisions — The Boston Globe, Jan. 2 and neighbors helping neighbors. This seems like a great Alaskan model: Learn, prepare, help, repeat. As the aftershocks slowly diminish in upper Cook Inlet, I’ve heard many comments about the need to get serious about that emergency evacuation kit we are all E-mail: supposed to have. And there’s a palpanews@peninsulaclarion.com ble anxiety about the next Big One: the 1964-sized earthquake of the future.

Letters to the Editor:
ing more dovish on immigration almost by the hour, Democrats are treating the notion of a wall as practically a humanrights abuse. President Barack Obama routinely droned people without genRich Lowry erating as much high dudgeon as Trump does asking for $5 billion to better fortify our southern border. Chuck Schumer calls the wall “medieval.” It’s true that the core idea — a physical barrier to impede the movement of people — isn’t a new technology. The basic concept proved out so long ago that there hasn’t been any need to revisit it. Nancy Pelosi deems the wall “immoral.” She sounds like West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt condemning the Berlin Wall as the “Wall of Shame” — when the East Germans built their border barrier to keep people in, whereas we only want to keep illegal entrants out. If a wall is immoral, what standing does the current 350 miles of primary fencing have? Isn’t it just as hateful as what Trump proposes? The $5 billion the president wants wouldn’t even match what we already have — it would construct about 150 miles of new barriers where none currently exist. A wall or fencing is relatively mild as far as immigration enforcement goes.

which is a critical low-cost transportation window for communities and industry, is getting shorter. Thirty-one villages require partial or complete relocation. These are important issues which certainly worry me, and they should worry our governor too. When Gov. Dunleavy talks about Alaska being “open for business,” he really means: “business as usual.” We DO need Alaska to be open for innovation: innovation for the post carbon world. New jobs, clean energy and affordable power. In America, we take great pride in examples of rapid technological innovations which have changed the course of history. In 13 short years, New York City streets went from all horsedrawn carriages to automobiles. In 1961, President Kennedy committed us and the scientists at NASA to landing on the moon by 1970. We did it in 1969. New energy solutions will transform our future. But Alaska will be left behind if our dance card is already filled with fossil fuel partners and we are unprepared as our Alaskan way of life melts beneath our feet. More than 1,300 Alaskans have placed their names on a petition asking Gov. Dunleavy to take the first step in preparing for the future by restoring the “Climate Action for Alaska” webpage. I hope you will contact him as well. Ignoring science and restricting access to information — especially Alaska-based information prepared by Alaskans for Alaskans — is an insult to us all. Almost as bad as leaving your neighbor in a ditch.
prepared recommendations to then-Gov. Walker on how to infuse this knowledge into state policy and decision-making. This team outlined an Alaskan response to climate change informed by the best available science, integration of indigenous and local knowledge, and consideration of Alaska’s economic interests. This team included Tribal and civic leaders, educators, fishermen, renewable energy experts, and oil and mining executives. Their recommendations came out in September and are the core of the “Climate Action for Alaska” webpage. Two months later the Fourth National Climate Assessment report came out. Alaska earned its own chapter because we are warming faster than any other state in the nation. I hope every Alaskan will take time to read it. With an economic price tag of at least $250 million per year to deal with just infrastructure damage, preparation is clearly warranted. Gov. Dunleavy has suggested that he has more important things to worry about than climate change. Is this simply a lack of scientific understanding or a willful negligence hoping to score some political Sue Mauger is the science director at points?

Nation/World Pelosi elected speaker, will lead Dems By LISA MASCARO AP Congressional Correspondent
WASHINGTON — Nancy Pelosi knew this moment would come, even if others had their doubts — or worked to stop her. Pelosi was elected Thursday as House speaker, the only woman who has held the office and now one of few elected officials who will be returning to it. The last time a speaker regained the gavel was more than a halfcentury ago. The California Democrat has spent her political career being underestimated, only to prove the naysayers wrong. In this case, it was by winning back the Democratic majority and amassing the votes for the speaker’s job. “None of us is indispensable,” Pelosi told The Associated Press on the campaign trail last fall, “but I do know that I’m very good at what I do.” In accepting the gavel, Pelosi will give a nod to the new era of divided government with a pledge to “reach across the aisle
in this chamber and across the divisions in this great nation,” according to her prepared remarks. “The floor of this House must be America’s Town Hall: where the people will see our debates and where their voices will be heard and affect our decisions,” she says. In previewing Democratic priorities, she talks about lowering health care costs, investing in green infrastructure and “restoring integrity” to government. “We must be champions of the middle class and all those who aspire to it — because the middle class is the backbone of democracy,” she says. Pelosi remains a highly polarizing figure, vilified by Republicans as a San Francisco liberal and a caricature of big government. But she is also a mother of five and a grandmother of nine who has shattered glass ceilings to become one of the most powerful politicians of the 21st century. With President Donald Trump in the White House and

Republicans still controlling the Senate, Pelosi’s return to the speaker’s office to lead a Democratic majority with its biggest freshmen class since Watergate shakes up the dynamic in Washington even beyond the new era of divided government. Pelosi has faced pressure from some incoming Demo-
crats who have been willing to talk about the possibility of impeachment proceedings against Trump. Pelosi has called impeachment a “divisive activity,” and Democrats were cautious about mentioning the “I” word during the 2018 midterms for fear it would backfire politically.
Chinese spacecraft makes first landing on moon’s far side By KEN MORITSUGU Associated Press

BEIJING — A Chinese spacecraft on Thursday made the first-ever landing on the far side of the moon in the latest achievement for the country’s growing space program. The relatively unexplored far side of the moon faces away from Earth and is also known as the dark side. A photo taken by the lunar explorer Chang’e 4 at 11:40 a.m. and published online by the official Xinhua News Agency shows a small crater and a barren surface that appears to be illuminated by a light from the probe. Chang’e 4 had touched down on the surface at 10:26
a.m., the China National Space Administration said. The landing was announced by state broadcaster China Central Television at the top of its noon news broadcast. The landing highlights China’s growing ambitions as a space power. In 2013, Chang’e 3, the predecessor craft to the current mission, made the first moon landing since the then-Soviet Union’s Luna 24 in 1976. The United States is the only other country that has carried out moon landings. The work of Chang’e 4, which is carrying a rover, includes carrying out astronomical observations and probing the structure and mineral composition of the terrain.

“The far side of the moon is a rare quiet place that is free from interference of radio signals from Earth,” mission spokesman Yu Guobin said, according to Xinhua. “This probe can fill the gap of low-frequency observation in radio astronomy and will provide important information for studying the origin of stars and nebula evolution.”
CHICAGO — One of the most powerful City Council members in Chicago history has been charged with attempted extortion for “corruptly soliciting business” for his private law firm, according to a federal complaint unsealed Thursday. If convicted, Alderman Ed Burke could face up to 20 years in prison. The charge follows November raids of the Democrat’s offices at City Hall and in his Southwest Side ward. Burke’s law firm represented the high-rise tower that bears President Donald Trump’s name. There’s no indication the case is at all tied to his firm’s work for Trump. The 75-year-old is one of the last of the old Chicago machine politicians. He’s been on the council for 50 years and has chaired its finance committee for the last three decades. Burke joins a long list of Chicago lawmakers charged criminally, including ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is serving a 14-year prison term for corruption. Burke said after November raids he was sure agents wouldn’t find anything “amiss.” Burke’s law firm, Klafter & Burke, specializing in property-tax appeals and its former clients included Trump’s luxury tower in downtown Chicago. The Chicago-Sun Times reported in 2016 that the law firm saved building enterprise $14 million by appealing property tax bills over seven years.
Mexico urges thorough probe into border tear gas incident MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s foreign affairs ministry has formally asked the United States government to conduct a thorough investigation into a Jan. 1 incident in which U.S. agents fired tear gas into Mexico to stop crossing migrants. In a statement Thursday, the ministry said through its embassy that it lamented any violent acts along its border. It reiterated its commitment to the safety of migrants. In the first hours of the new year, about 150 migrants attempted to breach the border fence in Tijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that agents fired gas at migrants throwing rocks. It said it was investigating. But an Associated Press photographer at the scene only saw rocks thrown after agents fired gas as migrants scaled the fence. — The Associated Press
Today in History Today is Friday, Jan. 4, the fourth day of 2019. There are 361 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Jan. 4, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson delivered his State of the Union address in which he outlined the goals of his “Great Society.” On this date: In 1896, Utah was admitted as the 45th state. In 1904, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Gonzalez v. Williams, ruled that Puerto Ricans were not aliens and could enter the United States freely; however, the court stopped short of declaring them citizens. (Puerto Ricans received U.S. citizenship in March 1917.) In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address, called for legislation to provide assistance for the jobless, elderly, impoverished children and the handicapped. In 1943, for the second time, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin made the cover of TIME as the magazine’s 1942 “Man of the Year.” In 1951, during the Korean War, North Korean and Communist Chinese forces recaptured the city of Seoul (sohl). In 1960, author and philosopher Albert Camus (al-BEHR’ kah-MOO’) died in an automobile accident in Villeblevin, France, at age 46. In 1964, Pope Paul VI began a visit to the Holy Land, the first papal pilgrimage of its kind. In 1974, President Richard Nixon refused to hand over tape recordings and documents subpoenaed by the Senate Watergate Committee. In 1987, 16 people were killed when an Amtrak train bound from Washington, D.C., to Boston collided with Conrail locomotives that had crossed into its path from a side track in Chase, Maryland. In 1995, the 104th Congress convened, the first entirely under Republican control since the Eisenhower era. In 2002, Sgt. 1st Class Nathan Ross Chapman, a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, was killed by small-arms fire during an ambush in eastern Afghanistan; he was the first American military death from enemy fire in the war against terrorism. In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed that Jose Padilla (hoh-ZAY’ puh-DIL’-uh), held for 3 1/2 years as an “enemy combatant,” could be transferred to civilian authorities in Miami. Ten years ago: New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson announced he was withdrawing his nomination to be President-elect Barack Obama’s commerce secretary amid a grand jury investigation into how some of his political donors had won a lucrative state contract. (Prosecutors later declined to bring charges against Richardson.) A female suicide bomber struck Shiite pilgrims in Baghdad, killing 38. Five years ago: The city center of Iraq’s Fallujah fell completely into the hands of fighters from the al-Qaidalinked Islamic State in Iraq and Levant. Thirty-one workers were killed in the collapse of a building under construction in Canacona, Goa, in southern India. One year ago: The Trump administration moved to vastly expand offshore drilling from the Atlantic to the Arctic oceans with a five-year plan that would open up federal waters off of California for the first time in decades and possibly open new areas of oil and gas exploration along the East Coast. A massive winter storm roared into the East Coast, dumping as much as 17 inches of snow in some areas. The Dow Jones Industrial Average burst through the 25,000 mark, closing at 25,075.13 just five weeks after its first close above 24,000. Ray Thomas, a founding member of the British rock group the Moody Blues, died at his home south of London at the age of 76, months before the band would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Barbara Rush is 92. Football Hall of Fame coach Don Shula is 89. Opera singer Grace Bumbry is 82. Actress Dyan Cannon is 80. Author-historian Doris Kearns Goodwin is 76.

MINNEAPOLIS — Neither heights nor tight spaces nor buckets of bat guano can stand between the Rev. Paul Marzahn and his vision to transform derelict churches into beautiful places of worship. “They’ve nicknamed me the church flipper,” he said with a chuckle. “I have an eye for properties that have value. I fix them up and bring the partners together and make the finances work, then show the congregation how to take over that space.” He’s done it three times now — a little country church

was next to the Minneapolis Convention Center. An aerial view of the downtown structure shows a mostly rectangular shape with the northwest corner cut out. That’s where Wesley United Methodist Church has been since 1891. In 2007, its congregation disbanded. Recovery Church occupied the building until 2009. Then it came under the ownership of the Minnesota branch of the United Methodist Church. Marzahn got involved, renting the building as an extension of Crossroads Church. His daughter, Rebekah Coffman, was hired to manage the building as an event planner. The Wesley building was expensive to maintain, so in 2015, the Methodists listed it for sale. Buyers came calling, including Prince. Another was the convention center, which no doubt wanted the last piece of its land puzzle. Neither was interested in letting the current ministries continue, Marzahn said. Marzahn had gotten to know the 30,300-square-foot building often called the “mother church” in Minneapolis Methodism due to the 10 churches that came out of its congregation. He’d shoveled a dumpsterfull of bat and pigeon dung out of its attic. He’d strapped on a harness and repaired its leaky roof. He knew every secret tower and hidden tunnel in the
building and he couldn’t bear to see it become something other than a church. So with the help of his wife and children, he formed a nonprofit called the Historic Wesley Center on Grant Street and bought the building for $1 million through a contract for deed in July 2016. It was risky. The family had mortgaged everything and scraped together $100,000 as a down payment. If they couldn’t pay the million or find someone who could before the contract ran out, they would lose everything. Marzahn said he and his wife had decided if that happened, they would live at the church. He spent many hours praying in the church’s secret prayer tower where members of his grandfather’s era used to keep a prayer vigil 24 hours a day. He said his grandfather told him the church stopped the vigil the day before the stock market crashed in 1929, an incident for which his grandfather felt somewhat responsible. “My grandpa said, ‘If we had kept praying, the Depression wouldn’t have happened,’ ” Marzahn said. As Marzahn prayed, things started happening at Substance Church, a megachurch in Spring Lake Park. The Rev. Peter Haas was also praying. His church was
bursting at the seams and he needed to open another campus, preferably in Minneapolis. One day, his young daughter told him she had a dream that he would buy a church with a tall ceiling and a balcony — within the week. “I almost laughed out loud,” Haas said. “After all, how in the world was I supposed to find a building with a balcony — and then decide to buy it by the next Thursday? I knew every available commercial property in the whole central metro area — and not one of them had a balcony.” Soon after, he was contacted by someone who had talked to Marzahn. Before he left to tour the Wesley Church, his daughter had more to say: “And, oh yeah, I forgot to tell you … it’s covered in red.” She added: “And the Lord told me, you’ll know this building is the one when you look up and say ‘Wow!’ “ “It simply didn’t make sense to me,” Haas said. When he entered the church, where the sanctuary is decorated in red, his eyes were drawn up to the elaborate glass domes.
“When I saw them, the word just flew out of my mouth … ‘Wow.’ And the moment I heard myself say it, I literally freaked out,” he said. Shortly after, Substance Church bought the building. They will begin restoring it in January, church leaders said. Marzahn grew up in Waterville on a 400-acre family farm. He comes from a long line of hardworking German men who knew how to make something out of nothing. His grandfather ran the farm and had a car dealership selling DeSotos. His father expanded the business to include “everything for the farm and home.” He also had a construction business. “His motto was, ‘If you give me two weeks, I can get it,’” Marzahn said. They were also men of faith, attending the Evangelical United Methodist Church in Waterville, where Marzahn was baptized and confirmed after becoming a Christian as a second-grader at a Billy Graham crusade. He grew up learning to drive buses, cranes and bulldozers and helping with his dad’s construction business.

ast New Year’s Eve I was at the same event I was for the two previous New Year’s. I rang in 2018 in a duplex on Anchorage’s Southside where my boyfriend, his roommates, new friends and old friends from high school gathered to drink boxed wine and beer. This year, my boyfriend and I sat by the wood stove watching “Bob’s Burgers,” and after drinking half a beer, I found myself under my comforter, with the lights off, before 9 p.m. It was a great New Year’s. New Year’s is anticlimactic. Jan. 1 was just another Tuesday for me. I’ve never been one to make New Year’s resolutions. I think we have just as valid of an opportunity to set goals for ourselves and make positive changes in our lives any time of the year. However, this winter season has me extremely goal-oriented for some reason. Maybe now that I’ve graduated college, I am overwhelmed by the world’s possibilities, or maybe I’m less distracted in life because I can’t get internet at my new house. Before heading to bed early on New Year’s Eve, I was reminiscing with friends over text about the New Year’s Eve of 2013. A group of friends and I took off to Hawaii for a month. Most of the trip was spent at the condo of my friend Kate’s aunt, but for New Year’s we rented a house through Airbnb on the other side of the island. The house had limited internet, was walking distance away from a black-sand beach, and had a big outdoor garden with citrus trees, several hammocks and a ladder to a flat roof where we laid and watched the stars every evening. It was a magical space. The night of New Year’s Eve, we made tacos, popped a bottle of champagne and went around the table diving deep into what made us happy in 2013, and what we wanted to improve in the new year. I told my friends I would travel more in 2014. It was the first time I made a real, conscious New Year’s resolution. Since I told my friends I would travel more, I had to follow through. In 2014, I was living in a small, dry cabin on 40 acres of birch forest in Fairbanks while I was working for the Alaska Railroad. The six months of isolation I experienced sent me on a journey that started with dropping out of college and ended with me getting on a plane to the Philippines. I needed a change of scenery. I saved all of my summer earnSee OFFICE, page A8

Rockets defeat Warriors By The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — James Harden hit a contested 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left in overtime and finished with his second triple-double of the week and fifth straight 40-point game, rallying the Houston Rockets past the Golden State Warriors 135-134 in a thriller between Western Conference powers Thursday night for their sixth straight victory. Kevin Durant’s long 3-pointer missed as the buzzer sounded in what will go down as one of the best games this regular season — a rematch of the seven-game Western Conference finals won by two-time defending champion Golden State.

Baylor snaps UConn’s streak By The Associated Press
WACO, Texas — Geno Auriemma knew that top-ranked UConn couldn’t keep winning every regular-season game it played, even though the Huskies had won 126 in a row. That winning streak of more than four years ended with a 68-57 loss Thursday night at No. 8 Baylor, which won against a No. 1 team for the first time. “What is disappointing for me, not that we lost. How long did you think you were going to win every game in the regular season, 10 years?,” Auriemma said. “So I’m not surprised that we lost, but it was disappointing that we struggled so much on the offensive end.” The Huskies (11-1) hadn’t lost a regular-season game in regulation since a 76-70 home loss to Baylor in a Nos. 1 vs. 2 matchup on Feb. 18, 2013 — a span of 163 games. Their only regular-season loss since then was 88-86 in overtime at Stanford on Nov. 14, 2014. “Stanford in 2014. Think about that,”
Auriemma said. The 11-time national champion Huskies shot only 29 percent (20 of 68) with their lowest point total this season. Their only lead came at 2-0 when Crystal Dangerfield scored in the opening minute of the game. Men ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Iggy Brazdeikis had 16 points and 11 rebounds and No. 2 Michigan returned to Big Ten play with a 68-55 victory over Penn State on Thursday night. The Wolverines (14-0, 3-0) weren’t always that dominant while playing lesser competition in December, and the first half against Penn State (7-7, 0-3) wasn’t all that great either from an aesthetic standpoint.The teams combined for 18 turnovers in the first 20 minutes, and Michigan led 25-20.
Markell Johnson scored 20 points in 23 minutes and North Carolina State shot 57 percent in the second half to rally past Miami in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams. The Wolfpack (13-1) won their seventh game in a row and are off to their best start since the 1973-74 team that won the national championship.
NO. 21 INDIANA 73, ILLINOIS 65 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Romeo Langford scored a career-high 28 points, Juwan Morgan added 14 points and 10 rebounds and Indiana beat Illinois. Langford shot 8 for 13 from the field and 11 of 15 from the line for Indiana (122, 3-0).
MINNESOTA 59, NO. 22 WISCONSIN 52
SPURS 125, RAPTORS 107 SAN ANTONIO — DeMar DeRozan had his first career tripledouble with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, and San Antonio welcomed back Kawhi Leonard with thunderous jeers in a victory over Toronto. Leonard scored 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting, but the anger the Spurs’ fans showered on him seemed to impact the MVP candidate. Leonard had to take a step back at the free throw line and compose himself amid chants of “Traitor! Traitor!” and “Quitter! Quitter!” from the capacity crowd that adored him during his seven seasons in San Antonio.

MONTREAL — Carey Price made 33 saves in his return from injury to help the Montreal Canadiens beat the Vancouver Canucks 2-0 on Thursday night. Price picked up his second shutout of the season and 42nd overall in his first appearance after missing three games because of a lower-body injury. Jordie Benn and Jonathan Drouin scored for Montreal. Canucks rookie Elias Pettersson left because of a lower-body injury in the second period. Named to the AllStar Games on Wednesday, Pettersson was injured after getting tangled with fellow rookie and Habs forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Pettersson’s right knee was caught between Kotkaniemi’s legs as they both fell to the ice. The Swede stayed down on the ice before getting to his feet and going to the dressing room.
Ovechkin’s first-period goal snapped a six-game drought and tied him with Mike Gartner as the only players in NHL history to begin their careers with 14 straight 30goal seasons. Gartner scored 30 or more in his first 15 seasons.

SABRES 4, PANTHERS 3 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Jeff Skinner scored twice and Buffalo ended a sevengame skid against Florida. Sam Reinhart had a goal and an assist, and Tage Thompson also scored in a game the Sabres played minus injured captain Jack Eichel. Buffalo coach Phil Housley said Eichel will miss at least one more game with an upper-body injury after he was hurt in the first period of a 3-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Monday. Linus Ullmark stopped 35 shots. Buffalo was 0-6-1 in its previous seven meetings against Florida, dating to a 4-2 win on March 27, 2017. More important, the Sabres snapped an 0-2-1 slide overall while improving to 5-7-4 since their 10-game winning streak, which matched a franchise record.
BRUINS 6, FLAMES 4 BOSTON — Jake DeBrusk and Brad Marchand each had two goals to lift Boston past Calgary. Boston has won three in a row and six of eight. The Bruins built on their win over Chicago in Tuesday’s Winter Classic by
beating the top team in the Western Conference. Jaroslav Halak stopped 33 shots, and John Moore and David Pastrnak also scored. Mike Smith had 21 saves for Calgary, which has dropped five of eight. Michael Frolik, Elias Lindholm, Johnny Gaudreau and Mikael Backlund scored.
LIGHTNING 6, KINGS 2 LOS ANGELES — Nikita Kucherov had a goal and three assists as the Tampa Bay Lightning kept steamrolling along, beating the Los Angeles Kings 6-2 on Thursday night for their seventh straight victory. The NHL-leading Lightning have earned at least one point in 16 consecutive games — the longest streak in the league this season. They are 15-0-1 during the run. Steven Stamkos added a goal and two assists, and Brayden Point had a goal and an assist for Tampa Bay. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 28 saves for his sixth consecutive win. Austin Wagner and Drew Doughty scored for the Kings, who have lost three of four. Jonathan Quick stopped 27 shots.

Wild-card weekend features close matchups By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer
—Dallas has won both wild-card games in its 10 seasons at AT&T Stadium, and is 7-1 at home this season. —The other playoff meeting was a 21-20 Seahawks home victory during the 2006 season when Tony Romo messed up the hold of a potential goahead field goal with 1:19 remaining. This figures to be a game built on rushing. Seattle topped the NFL and has a three-pronged running attack led by Chris Carson. Dallas rides Ezekiel Elliott, who is rested and ready after sitting out last week’s win over the Giants because the result had no bearing on Dallas’ postseason standing. Saturday’s game obviously does, and will be close. Seattle, ranked 10 in the AP Pro32, is a 2 1-2-point underdog at No. 11 Dallas. COWBOYS, 21-20
The competitive balance in NFL 2018 is such that it would be no surprise if any — or all — of the visitors win on wild-card weekend to begin the 2019 calendar. Hey, the largest spread is a mere 6 1-2 points, Bears over Eagles. Maybe the most intriguing matchup is at Jerry World, which makes sense because the NFL scheduled Seahawks vs. Cowboys for Saturday night. Some cool stuff about this game between a pair of 10-6 teams: —Seattle was 0-2 when coach Pete Carroll placed a heavy emphasis on the running game and defense, and the Seahawks defeated Dallas 24-13. —QBs Russell Wilson and Dak Prescott are tied for most 100-plus passer rating games in their first three No. 8 Indianapolis (plus 3) seasons at 24. at No. 7 Houston —The Seahawks led the league Each team won on the other’s field with a plus-15 turnover margin, with 11 giveaways tied for third fewest in this season. Both have made turnarounds, Houston from an 0-3 start to league history.
Pro Picks the AFC South title, Indy from 1-5 to a wild card. The Colts have won four straight and nine of their last 10 when they couldn’t afford a stumble. The defense forced turnovers in 15 games, finished with 26 takeaways, and the team allowed 16.4 points over the final eight games. But it’s an offensive line that allowed a league-low 18 sacks on Andrew Luck after giving up a leaguehigh 56 in 2017 that could be the difference. That number will be tested by the likes of J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney, and DeAndre Hopkins can be a game-changing receiver. Still ... BEST BET and UPSET SPECIAL: COLTS, 24-20 No. 5 (tie) Los Angeles Chargers (plus 2 1-2) at No. 9 Baltimore Two weeks ago, the Ravens trav-
eled to that soccer stadium in California the Chargers call home and handed them a 22-10 defeat that propelled Baltimore to the top of the AFC North. It also pretty much meant the Chargers would be a wild card behind AFC West champion Kansas City. The Ravens’ top-ranked defense will need to again make Philip Rivers uncomfortable in the passing game, but Rivers didn’t have his No. 1 running threat, Melvin Gordon, for that Dec. 22 contest. Gordon is back, which could be a key. Baltimore is 6-1 since rookie QB Lamar Jackson took over for Joe Flacco. And that defense, which allowed an NFL-low 292.2 yards per game and ranked second in fewest points allowed at 17.9 per contest, will swing this one to ... RAVENS, 20-19
— the secondary, other than safety Malcolm Jenkins, has resembled a preseason group — and some costly blown leads, the defending champion Eagles squeezed into the playoffs. They did so with help from the Bears, too, as Chicago knocked off the Vikings in Minnesota last Sunday. Will the Bears regret that come Sunday evening? Depends on whether Nick Foles has some more magic to work on that stingy and physical Chicago defense. It will be tight, like all the other wild-card games. BEARS, 19-17

Drug user battling addiction offers words of hope to others DEAR ABBY: I work in close quarters with two women. They often talk politics, and I am very aware of their views. They asked me if I was voting in the midterms, and I answered in the affirmative, but offered no details as my vote is my personal business. Since then, I have been told, “You are part of the problem.” “People like you ...” and, “It must be nice to Abigail Van Buren not care.” I don’t know how to respond to these hurtful comments, which make me feel terrible. It makes me extremely uncomfortable, and I don’t think it’s appropriate to discuss this at work in the first place. I am not sure how to handle this if it continues. I don’t want these women to hate me. I respect them, but this is a sensitive topic. -- NOT THE PLACE DEAR NOT THE PLACE: I agree that, for the most part, discussing politics in the workplace is inappropriate because there are bound to be disagreements, which are not conducive to a pleasant
environment. Hopefully, now that the midterms are behind us, the hostility will die down -- at least for a while. If it persists, TELL your co-workers that what they are doing is hurtful and you want them to stop. And if they don’t, then discuss it with your supervisor or employer because what they are doing is creating a hostile working environment. DEAR ABBY: A friend of mine is a pretty fair oil painter. She occasionally sells one. I would like to buy a painting she recently finished. She quoted me a price, but phrased it as a question, “Does $-- sound OK?” Would it be rude if I offered her less than that for the painting? -- BETTER OFFER IN THE WEST DEAR BETTER OFFER: No, it would not be rude. It’s common for buyers to negotiate the price of art objects. It is done all the time, and she shouldn’t take offense if you offer her what you think is a fair price. Remember, if she doesn’t agree, she can make a counteroffer. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Jan. 4, 2019: This year you alternate between taking wild risks and choosing the most conservative path. Others will not know who they will run into when approaching you. If you are single, your diverse personality could push timid suitors away. Decide what type of bond you want, and make it OK to date a lot. If you are attached, you and your sweetie often share your wild dreams and/or hopes. After much debate, the two of you are likely to decide to make one of these goals a reality. A fellow CAPRICORN understands you well. 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 Your spontaneity marks your interactions through midday. Schedule meetings over a late lunch, and you will find that your creativity emerges. Don’t get annoyed that others see a situation differently from how you do. Everyone has a different process. Tonight: Out late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Make sure you are on solid ground before you decide to puncture holes in a coveted idea that might need revision. You trigger others’ ingenuity as they seek solutions. A resolution might not be possible just yet, but it will be soon. Tonight: Go where you can relax and be entertained. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might put your hands up as you have a discussion that’s on the verge of becoming argumentative. You would prefer not to go down that path. Listen to what a close associate or family member shares, but know that
Rubes
you don’t have to agree. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Clear out obligations quickly and efficiently. The unexpected could play a role in how you view a situation. Communication soars. Allow your intuition to play into a talk. Return calls, and network in the afternoon. A higher-up could be difficult to deal with. Tonight: Accept an invitation. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Tapping into your self-discipline will be necessary if you are going to accomplish anything today. It might take a while to get yourself in the right state of mind. You could have your hands full with everything you need to do. Don’t push yourself so hard. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Getting going could be a little difficult at first, but once you do, you are likely to accomplish a lot. Your creativity flourishes. You might want to take a risk in the afternoon. Make sure you can handle a loss if the risk does not play out as you wish. Tonight: Ever playful. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could be surprised by how hectic the pace is in the morning. It might be all you can do to stay on top of your emails, calls and others’ requests. What might be exciting in the morning could become stale by the afternoon. Your imagination creates a distraction. Tonight: Head home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could be weighing the pros and cons of a financial offer. You might not see any negatives at first, but you intuitively know that there will

Ziggy
be a hiccup to deal with. In the afternoon, relax, return calls and share news. Tonight: Find a friend or two to hang out with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You feel invincible as you interact with others and see agreement come forward. People naturally defer to you. By midday, your interests surround your finances and perhaps an interesting suggestion. Decide to not make a decision just yet. Tonight: Treat a friend to TGIF. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might be slow to get started, but once you get going, you’ll cruise right through your work and/ or domestic responsibilities. Others might be surprised by your sudden burst of energy. Make an important call to a friend or loved one. Tonight: As you wish. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Use the morning for vital projects or to handle a situation that might rank high in importance, at least to you. Others will demonstrate their caring, but not in the way you might expect. In fact, you could be too irritated to be gracious. Tonight: Zero in on what you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You must meet someone else’s demands. You’ll have no time to follow through immediately unless you cancel an appointment. Weigh the pros and cons. Be careful with your temper. You also might find yourself on a spending spree. Tonight: Avoid going overboard. BORN TODAY Actor Dave Foley (1963), singer Patty Loveless (1957), singer/songwriter Coco Jones (1998)
What is proper flag etiquette? Dear Heloise: I’m confused by “FLAG ETIQUETTE.” My husband said that when lowering or raising the Stars and Stripes, it should never touch the ground. What is the proper procedure? -- Stephanie F., Waynesboro, Miss. Stephanie, in this country, the American flag should be hoisted briskly. It should be lowered slowly and gathered and folded before it touches the ground. When displayed with other flags, it should be raised first and lowered last. -- Heloise GREASE DISPOSAL Dear Heloise: I saw the article about grease in drains. I am a maintenance man in a mobile home park, and I’ve had to replace many drain lines due to this very fact. I’m talking about every inch of drain line. It makes no difference what temperature the water happens to be, the grease will, in time, build up and turn as hard as concrete. Put grease in the refrigerator overnight, and the next day dispose of it in the trash -- NOT the drain. -- Russell K., Yucaipa, Calif. LEAD CRYSTAL SAFETY Dear Heloise: I have two beautiful crystal decanters. Is it safe to store alcohol, such as wine or gin, in there without the potential for lead contamination? I’ve been told that it isn’t safe. -- Barbara in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. Barbara, do NOT store any alcohol or juice in a lead crystal decanter. If you drink from lead crystal glasses, pour from the bottle, not a decanter. If you want to use your decanters when you have company over for dinner, pour the wine into the decanters, and after the dinner, pour the leftover alcohol back into its original bottle. There will be very little leaching of lead into your drinks, unless you leave the alcohol in there more than a few hours. Within 24 hours, there can be considerable lead leaching. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I’m currently in a mental hospital. I have been in and out for years because of suicide attempts and drug use. My drug of choice is crystal meth, and it has been a vicious cycle. I’m 19 and will be 20 soon. I would like to share my story with your readers, young and old, who may feel lost or alone. I was sexually abused and have prostituted myself for drugs when I was desperate. I’m going through intensive treatment now. When I was at my lowest, my family looked the other way. What I want to tell people is to get help if they are contemplating suicide. I want them to know their lives are valuable. I struggle with hallucinations, and it’s scary at times. But no matter what we go through in life, we must remember that we were built to be resilient. I believe in our strength. Thanks, Abby. -- OVERCOMING IN WISCONSIN DEAR OVERCOMING: I believe in your strength as well, and I’m glad that you are getting treatment. Recovery from addiction can be a daily challenge, which takes courage and determination. You appear to have both. I am printing your letter because it carries an important message for anyone who is feeling suicidal. The phone number of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is 800-273-8255, and it is toll-free.
