In the news Troopers say 1 dead in Aniak residential fire
ANCHORAGE — Alaska State Troopers say a person has died in a residential fire in the western Alaska village of Aniak. Troopers were notified Sunday of the fire. According to troopers, a woman inside the home smelled smoke coming from a bedroom, and was injured and suffered smoke inhalation when she tried to put out the fire. A man related to the woman was believed to have been in the bedroom. Troopers said an adult’s remains were found after the fire was out. The home was destroyed in the blaze. Troopers say a deputy fire marshal will be traveling to the village to investigate the cause and origin of the fire.

Crime bill closes ‘Schneider Loophole’ By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire
The Senate Judiciary Committee has completed its work on a bill that would close the “Schneider Loophole.� Senate Bill 12 now moves to Senate Finance Committee. “We really have caught all the loopholes,� Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, the bill’s sponsor said. “This bill redefines a sex crime.� “Schneider Loophole,� which refers to the Justin Schneider case in Anchorage. Schneider strangled a woman until she passed out and then he ejaculated on her. He was later caught by authorities, but pleaded guilty to a single felony
charge and served no additional jail time. His crime fell outside the criminal code’s definition of sexual assault and he walked out of court with no jail time. It ignited outrage throughout the state, prompting the presiding judge in the case to lose re-election and the creation of the grassroots political advocacy group “No More Free Passes.� SB 12 would make the following changes: r 1SF USJBM UJNF TFSWFE PO an ankle bracelet would not take time off a post-conviction sentence. r *G TUSBOHVMBUJPO JT QBSU of the sex crime, that person can be charged with sexual Sen.

Soldotna man’s nomination to control board in question By MOLLIE BARNES Juneau Empire
There’s concern from House representatives and marijuana industry professionals that a control board nominee might be influenced by the governor since he’s a state employee. Chris Jaime is one of two of Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s nominees for the five-person control board in charge of regulating the marijuana industry. Jaime is an Alaska Wildlife Troopers lieutenant from Soldotna who’s served with the agency for 18 years. The House Labor & Commerce committee held a hearing Monday to question him. “You’re a current state
employee, so what would be your reaction or your concern, if as a current state employee you were contacted by the governor’s office, for example, when there was a regulation up for consideration, and the governor’s office had a certain perspective on things?� asked Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, R-Anchorage. “Would you as a state employee be at all concerned if your position on that didn’t exactly jam with that of the administration?� Jaime said he thinks he can maintain his autonomy. LeDoux also pointed out that Jaime is a part of Alaska Public Employees Association, which she said eased her mind about concerns the candidate

could be influenced by the governor. She said it makes it harder for the governor to fire him, and provides a sort of firewall to help maintain impartiality.
Rep. Adam Wool, DFairbanks, asked if Jaime was involved in any political campaigns involving marijuana, and Jaime said See BOARD, page A11
Nikiski woman charged with arson By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
A Nikiski woman is being charged with arson after a mobile home went up in flames last week, according to an affidavit filed at the Kenai Courthouse on March 2. On Feb. 27, Ivory Trenton, 27, was one of several people standing outside of unit #66 in the Nikiski Village mobile home park, watching the residence burn as troopers and fire-
fighters arrived on scene. According to the affidavit, other witnesses on scene indicated that Trenton allegedly started the fire. Trenton initially refused to answer questions from the troopers about the fire and was placed in the back of a patrol vehicle while the investigation continued. While troopers interviewed other witnesses, Trenton allegedly slipped her hands out of the handcuffs and removed the
backseat camera from the patrol vehicle. Troopers then handcuffed Trenton a second time and placed her in a second patrol vehicle. At that time, she allegedly slipped through her handcuffs again, removed her clothes, and lit them on fire in the back of the patrol vehicle. Troopers were able to extinguish the fire and transported Trenton to Central Peninsula Hospital, according to the affidavit. The fire marshal’s investigation determined that the

A man has been arrested in relation to a fire in Nikolaevsk on Friday. State fire marshals are currently investigating a fire that occurred on Friday, March 1 in Nikolaevsk, and have arrested one man in relation to the incident, according to a press release from Anchor Point Emergency services. At 10:44 a.m. on Friday, Anchor Point Emergency Services responded to a house fire on Nikolaevsk Road. The fire had apparently engulfed the exterior porch and had started to spread inside of the house. Firefighters were able to successfully extinguish the flames before the fire had spread to any other structures. No injuries were reported and the residence was unoccupied at the time of See FIRE, page A11
Scientists record low ice levels in Bering Sea ANCHORAGE (AP) — Open water has replaced sea ice in much of the Bering Sea off Alaska’s west coast, leaving villages vulnerable to powerful winter storms and adding challenges to Alaska Native hunters seeking marine mammals, an expert said Monday. Rick Thoman of the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment & Policy at the University of Alaska Fairbanks said that winter storms over five weeks obliterated thin ice that had formed since December.
Wind blew ice to Russian beaches in the west and to the south side of Norton Sound south of Nome but left open water all the way to Chukchi Sea north of the Bering Strait. “You can take your sailboat from Dillingham to Diomede today,� he said. Sea ice historically covers much of the Bering Sea throughout the winter with maximum coverage through March. Kotzebue Sound, a great bay northeast of the Bering Strait, alSee ICE, page A11

Wildfire victims, creditors question utility By GEORGE ALAVOS The Mercury News (TNS)
Pacific Gas and Electric’s top finance official was questioned Monday by wildfire victims and creditors at a bankruptcy court hearing, during which the power company revealed that it had been considering a bankruptcy filing for months before starting the proceeding. The meeting in San Francisco of wildfire victims and creditors affected by PG&E’s bankruptcy case raised questions about precisely how and when the embattled and disgraced utility intends to compensate victims of the fires in the North Bay Wine County and nearby regions in October 2017 and Butte County in November 2018. “I don’t trust a word PG&E says about this,” Kirk Trostle, a former Paradise resident who is now living in the Shasta County community of Happy Valley south of Redding, said in an interview after the meeting of creditors. “I’m very concerned about whether PG&E is going to pay the wildfire victims. We lost everything.” Last fall’s Camp Fire essentially destroyed the town of Paradise. PG&E reported Feb. 28 that it is “probable” that investigators will determine that its equipment ignited the most deadly and destructive wildfire in California history. The concerns of fire victims and creditors arose despite repeated assurances from PG&E Chief Financial Officer Jason Wells that the company intended to compensate fire victims and other creditors. “We intend to fairly, equitably and expeditiously address claims” through the bankruptcy proceeding, Wells said. Listing $51.69 billion in debts, PG&E filed for bankruptcy Jan. 29, seeking to ward off creditors while it attempts to reorganize its

finances. PG&E claims that it buckled beneath a mountain of wildfire liabilities that could reach $30 billion or more, and other debts. “I’m very concerned about whether there will be just compensation for fire victims,” Gerald Singleton, an attorney representing 3,500 victims of the PG&Elinked fires of 2017 and 2018, said after the hearing. Wells, who was the lead PG&E representative for the bankruptcy hearing conducted by Assistant U.S. Trustee Timothy Laffredi, chose his words carefully throughout the proceeding. Some questions by Gary Agajanian, president of Agajanian Vineyards & Wine in the Napa Valley, produced a tense exchange involving Wells and PG&E’s bankruptcy attorney for the hearing. Agajanian asked Wells whether any factors were preventing PG&E from conducting a thorough vegetation and tree management program as a way of reducing wildfire dangers. “That is not the subject of today’s hearing,” PG&E attorney Stephen Karotkin said, forestalling a reponse from Wells. When pressed for an answer by Agajanian,
Karotkin said: “I am directing him (Wells) not to answer the question.” Eventually the trustee, Laffredi, noted PG&E’s actions, stating that “the debtor refuses to answer the question.” Attorney Steven Campora, whose clients include victims of a PG&E-caused Butte Fire of 2015 that scorched parts of Amador County and Calaveras County, asked PG&E about the timing of a $2.5 million severance package for former PG&E CEO Geisha Williams. Williams left PG&E in January after a tenure that included PG&E’s involvement in the lethal fires of 2017 and 2018. Campora also questioned PG&E about bonuses, golden parachutes and other payments. “There is a real problem when PG&E says it can’t pay the settlements from the already resolved Butte Fire claims, but it’s able to pay Geisha Williams $2.5 million in severance,” Campora said. William Daniels, an attorney who represents some wildfire victims, questioned PG&E regarding some of the possible motivations for the bankruptcy filing.
In 2016, PG&E was convicted in a federal criminal case for felonies it committed before and after a fatal explosion in 2010 that killed eight people and leveled a San Bruno neighborhood. PG&E faces the prospect of a court finding that it violated its probation in that explosion, a determination that could impose tough new requirements for preventing future wildfires. The utility, whose equipment has been linked to several fires in 2017 and 2018, also could become a defendant in criminal cases arising from those fires. “There was no motivation to file for bankruptcy based on any current or potential criminal proceedings,” Wells said. Wells said at the hearing that PG&E’s bankruptcy filing had been in the works for months before the it was made in late January. “The planning for a potential bankruptcy escalated after the Camp Fire” of November 2018, he said. In January, PG&E determined that it couldn’t employ a mechanism to finance wildfire payments. Then on Jan. 14, Wells said, “We decided that bankruptcy would be a likely path.”

KPC Showcase presents: Letters From Happy Valley: Memories of an Alaska Homesteader’s Son KPC Showcase presents: Letters From Happy Valley: Memories of an Alaska Homesteader’s Son, an evening with Alaskan author Dan Walker on Thursday, March 7 at 6:30 p.m. at McLane Commons. Fifty years after leaving the family homestead in Happy Valley, Dan Walker unexpectedly received a shoebox full of letters penned in 1958 by his parents as they traveled north from Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio, to build a new life on the Last Frontier. The letters ignited Walker’s memory and he remembered how, as a small boy, he watched with wonder as his family built a home, harvested moose, and learned the ways of the north country. A quiet thread of melancholy weaves through Walker’s story as he remembers how his father’s untimely death forced their large family to leave behind the life he loved.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough’s Land Management Division is calling for letters of interest from people looking for new agricultural land. The hope is that people will share some details that the borough can use to inform the program design. The kinds of major points officials think would be helpful in a letter include the size and general location needed, along with any other criteria that would be essential for the person’s production plans, and maybe an indication of the time frames that people are thinking if they were to take on an area of land with production goals. Letters should be addressed to KPB Land Manager, 144 North Binkley St., Soldotna AK 99669. More information can be found at kpb.us/ land

What Others Say
Oregon’s ‘The Bulletin’ on Trump’s new rule barring taxpayer-funded familyplanning clinics from making abortion referrals Ellen Rosenblum, Oregon’s attorney general, is preparing to sue the Trump administration over a new rule that essentially prevents those who work in family planning clinics around the state from discussing abortion with their clients. She’s right to take up the fight. The administration issued new rules Feb. 22 that bar clinics receiving Title X funds from referring women elsewhere for abortions and eliminates a requirement that abortion counseling be offered. The fund pays for family planning services, including contraceptives, and it already was illegal to use them to finance abortion services. Barring clinic staff from even discussing abortion goes a giant step farther than the existing ban, however, and it should be overturned. It prevents medical staff from discussing a legal medical procedure with the women they serve. Until now they’ve been able to talk about abortion, but they have been barred from referring women for abortion services. In addition, those clinics that have provided abortions, even if not paid for with Title X funds, must now either end those services or house them completely separately from their other family planning services. In Oregon, according to the National Planning and Reproductive Health Association, Title Xfinanced services were provided to nearly 45,000 women in 2017. Most of that money went to counties, with school-based health clinics receiving the second largest chunk. No Oregonian should have to go to a health care provider and be told that some legal option for care cannot be discussed, yet that’s exactly what the new Title X rules require.
Reform school
Reform is inevitable a difficult process, and not just for the reformees. It’s particularly painful for the reformers, no matter how meritorious their cause. Who would admit opposing fundamental changes to a health care system in this country that is glaringly overpriced and significantly underperforms? Who would resist efforts to rescue the planet from boiling away? As the reformers are learning, once they stop preaching to their own choirs and face off against those who benefit and prosper from the current setups — like the insurance companies or the energy corporations — their adversaries will do anything in their power to maintain things just the way they are. The latest batch of reformers who have thundered into Washington armed with what they believe to be these obvious needs for change are facing a harsh reality. They are learning that our political system is sullied by foul play that protects the interests of those who pay for things. The real “deep state” in this country is the status quo protectors and their bought-andpaid-for officeholders. Their propagandists churn out a steady diatribe of accusations that those seeking change are “radicals,” or even worse, “socialists” who would destroy the American way. Seriously. Mike Pence, venturing out from his usual role as obsequious Donald Trump suck-up, was preaching to his own choir at the Conservative Political Action Conference:
“Under the guise of ‘Medicarefor-all’ and a Green New Deal, Democrats are embracing the same tired economic theories that have impoverished nations Bob Franken and stifled the liberties of millions over the past century.” That relentless theme is effective in muddying the waters. The first lesson in our reform school is that special interests are not about to give up their advantages without a brutal fight. Chris Matthews has good reason to call his TV program about politics “Hardball.” The rattled agents of basic change are reduced to playing whiffle ball unless they are ready to descend into the muck and start wheeling and dealing. The newbies can ostracize their more experienced natural allies for challenging their purity all they want. The crusaders’ pithy threats to oppose fellow Democrats in the primaries will only pith off those fellow Democrats. The reformers will need the wherewithal of party members who have been around for a while if there can be any change whatsoever. When these rookies decided to run for Congress, they were really choosing to take part in the political establishment game. The alternative is fighting for change from the outside. On the
inside, as they quickly learn, the game is ugly. For many, their brightness is rapidly reduced to a flicker. Light is called the “best antiseptic,” but our system of government is darkened by the history of double dealing. Lust, ambition and overall corrupt self-serving are the dominant motivations. It’s true that affecting change and serving the public interest also inspire some who enter this arena, but they quickly learn their limitations. Either they become very cynical as reality is foisted on them, or they don’t give up and instead focus on seeking progress one small step after another. To those who say we don’t have time for such tippytoeing, the alternative is going backward. Never underestimate the desire of the rich and powerful to seek even more riches and power. The recent tax changes are a prime example, which even co-opted the word “reform,” selling it as “tax reform” instead of what it really was: a way to shift more wealth to the wealthy. The health insurance industry is swimming in money. The energy companies are swimming in money. It takes petty cash to drown the reformers by paying off the officeholders. Those who fight for change will need to gear up for a brawl in the gutters. If they wise up, they can make small improvements that might lead to more small changes. Otherwise, they become the latest victims of a system that is badly in need of change but where change is resisted at all cost.
Democrats ask: Who is most electable over Trump? By JANET HOOK Los Angeles Times
WASHINGTON — Marcus Scott is looking for a Democratic presidential candidate who will be rude to Donald Trump. Kara LaMarche wants an upbeat, positive approach. Ben Dion wants a nominee with experience and gravitas. Linds Jakows has had it with older white men in power. Those voters, like fellow Democrats across the country, seek very different things in the big and growing presidential candidate field. But they share one top priority: Picking a nominee who will beat President Donald Trump in 2020. A year from now, on March 3, 2020, candidates will be competing for primary votes in nine states in the first day of multistate voting. By then, the candidates will have been tested in the four early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, where Democrats already have a curbside seat for the parade of candidates campaigning there. Between now and then, much of the debate seems certain to focus on the elusive quality labeled “electability.” Parties always want to win, of course, but Democratic loathing of Trump has pushed finding a winner way up the
priority scale this year, recent polls show. Democratic voters say they’d prefer a candidate who can beat Trump to one who agrees with their position on any particular issue. Voters, however, have widely varying views about what electable means in 2020. To some, it is code for a safe, cautious choice — a centrist white male who presumably can speak to swing voters. To other Democrats, that’s a recipe for killing off excitement within the party’s young, diverse, progressive base, which needs to be mobilized to win in 2020. The contrasting ideas about electability will come sharply into focus in the coming weeks if two late entrants to the 2020 race come off the sidelines. If former Rep. Beto O’Rourke jumps in, the 46-year-old Texan will represent a bid for generational change that could mobilize new voters in a way supporters compare to Barack Obama. If Vice President Joe Biden runs, he will likely lean heavily on the case that his long experience makes the 76-year-old the party’s safest bet to win the White House. “I believe he is the only person who could take on Trump and beat him,” said Dick Harpootlian, a South Carolina state senator and longtime Biden backer.

Petit becomes 1st musher to hit Rainy Pass ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A French man who saw the Iditarod slip from his grasp when he got lost in a blizzard last year is again leading the world’s most famous sled dog race. Nicolas Petit was the first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race musher to arrive Monday in Rainy Pass, a community of two people and a lodge that’s open yearround.
The checkpoint is 153 miles (246 kilometers) into the nearly 1,000 mile (1,600 kilometer) race across the Alaska wilderness. Petit stayed at the checkpoint for eight minutes before heading back out on the trail. Pete Kaiser, a 31-year-old musher from Bethel, Alaska, was close behind Petit, leaving Rainy Pass 11 minutes after Petit got
back on the trail. Petit is a native of France’s Normandy region and now lives in Girdwood, just south of Anchorage. He was leading last year late into the race when he lost his way in a blizzard. He was passed by Norway’s Joar Ulsom, who beat Petit to the finish line in Nome by over two hours. After Rainy Pass, mushers
head to the next checkpoint in the uninhabited community of Rohn. There used to be a roadhouse, but it’s long gone so the checkpoint is in a cabin built in the 1930s. Mushers must take a 24-hour layover during the race, and many take it in Rohn before heading out onto the dangerous stretch called Farewell Burn, an area littered with tree stumps and
rocks that was the site of a large Alaska forest fire in the 1970s. Fifty-two mushers started the race Sunday in Willow, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Anchorage. The race will take them over two mountain ranges, on the frozen Yukon River and up the dangerous, wind-whipped Bering Sea coast to the finish line in Nome. The winner is expected sometime next week.

Satathite to compete at Western Colorado Staff report Peninsula Clarion
Kenai Central senior Brooke Satathite signed a National Letter of Intent on Monday to run cross-country and track for Division II Western Colorado University in Gunnison, Colorado. Kardinals cross-country coach Maria Calvert said the school fits both Satathite’s athletic talents and academic aspirations. Calvert said Satathite is looking at going into teaching, and Western Colorado State has a good education program. Satathite, the daughter of Sam and Jennifer of Kenai, will join a cross-country program that finished fourth at the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships last fall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After playing volleyball in middle school, Satathite went out for cross-country as a freshman and made an immediate impact, finishing at Kenai’s No. 5 runner at the state meet as the Kards took the Class 4A state title. She went on to finish in the top five in the region and the top 15 in the state in her sophomore through senior years. This fall, she helped the Kardinals win the Division II state cross-country title. “She definitely worked hard to be great,” Calvert said. “She really helped her team every single year.” In track, she made it to state as a sophomore and junior in the 800 and 1,600 runs, and the 3,200-meter relay. Her personal record in the 800 is 2 minutes, 23.64 seconds, while her PR in the 1,600 is 5:22.85.

Penske remains captain of motorsports
S
omewhat overshadowed by the stifling scrutiny of NASCAR’s new rules package was another Team Penske victory. Joey Logano held off teammate Brad Keselowski’s last-lap push to win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway — the fourth victory for a Roger Penske car in seven days. Keselowski and Logano drove Ford’s new Mustang to consecutive Cup victories the last two weeks, while in Australia reigning Supercars champion Scott McLaughlin swept the weekend in the debut of that new version of the Mustang. It’s quite a start for Penske, who last month was inducted into NASCAR’s Hall of Fame, feted at the Royal Automobile Club in London and celebrated his 82nd birthday. Penske in January hunkered down for the entire Rolex 24 at Daytona, where one of his two Acura entries pulled out a third-place finish. Penske will spend this week chairing the Penske Corp., his privately held transportation services company ahead of the IndyCar season opener on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida. He will have three Chevrolets in the race, all

Logano and Keselowski raced more like rivals than teammates over the final lap at Las Vegas and that intense finish helped NASCAR tout Sunday as a success. But they would not have raced each other so hard if the boss doesn’t approve, and Penske’s philosophy was for the betterment of the overall product. “I really don’t have any favorites,” he said. “Only one is going to win coming out of the stable. We’ve really told them to take care of each other, at the end of 10 laps the best man wins.” Penske plans to be in St. Pete this weekend, thoroughly invested in Power, Simon Pagenaud, Josef Newgarden and the IndyCar effort. Televisions placed throughout his at-track office will be tuned to the NASCAR events in Phoenix, and his executive team will have him briefed on every important development. Racing at nearly every level is weathering a reset and searching for solid footing in a crowded sports and entertainment space. The rebuilding period has been trying for the entire motorsports industry, but so long as Penske is still firmly on board, the fight still has significant value.
Baer granted leave of absence SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco Giants President and CEO Larry Baer was granted a leave of absence from the team on Monday following the release last week of a video showing him in a physical altercation with his wife. The Giants board of directors released a statement that said Baer had made a request that was accepted to take personal time away from the team in response to the video released by TMZ showing the altercation in a San Francisco park between Baer and his wife, Pam. “Mr. Baer has acknowledged that his behavior was unacceptable, apologized to the organization and is committed to taking steps to make sure that this never happens again,” the statement said. The Giants executive team, including president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, will manage the day-today operations. The other members of that team are executive vice president of business operations Mario Alioto, executive vice president and general counsel Jack Bair, executive vice president of administration Alfonso Felder, and executive vice president of communications Staci Slaughter.
The team didn’t designate one point person to be in charge of the organization during Baer’s absence. Manager Bruce Bochy said after an exhibition game in Scottsdale, Arizona, that he will still report directly to Zaidi but didn’t get into details about the accusations against Baer. “This is a guy who’s been our leader and he’s a good friend,” Bochy said. “This will get sorted out. Right now, I don’t have anything to add outside of the statement that was given.” Bochy said he didn’t plan to address the players about Baer’s situation. Pitcher Jeff Samardzija said the players are trying to avoid the topic and are focusing on preparing for the start of the season. “We don’t have any information on the matter,” he said. “I think we’re in the same boat as anybody else, what you see online and this and that. It’s not talked about too much in here. We’re worried about playing and that doesn’t really affect us too much on the field. It’s just unfortunate to see. I have all the respect in the world for Larry and his wife. We’re getting ready for the season here and that’s how we’re approaching it. That’s
how you approach anything. There’s always something that happens every year that you need to overcome as a clubhouse. It’s a big part of it, how you band together and how you move on.” The video posted by TMZ on Friday showed Baer’s wife, Pam, seated in a chair when he reached over her to grab for a cellphone in her right hand and she toppled sideways to the ground in the chair screaming “Oh my God!” Witnesses saw the ordeal in the public plaza. Baer, holding the phone, says “Stop, Pam, stop,” then walks away alone. Baer and his wife issued a statement Friday, saying they regretted having a “heated argument in public over a family matter” and that they were embarrassed by the situation. Baer issued an apology later. “I am truly sorry for the pain that I have brought to my wife, children and to the organization,” Baer said in the statement Friday. “It is not reflective of the kind of a person that I aspire to be, but it happened and I will do whatever it takes to make sure that I never behave in such an inappropriate manner again.”

Virginia rips Syracuse By The Associated Press
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Kyle Guy, Ty Jerome and De’Andre Hunter led a longrange assault, combining for 18 3-pointers as No.2 Virginia broke open a tight game in the second half and cruised to a 79-53 victory over Syracuse on Monday night. The Cavaliers (27-2, 15-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), whose only two losses were to Duke, has won seven straight since losing for the second time to the Blue Devils and leads North Carolina by a half game in the ACC.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, March 5, the 64th day of 2019. There are 301 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 5, 1963, country music performers Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins died in the crash of their plane, a Piper Comanche, near Camden, Tennessee, along with pilot Randy Hughes (Cline’s manager). On this date: In 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people. In 1868, the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson began in the U.S. Senate, with Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase presiding. Johnson, the first U.S. president to be impeached, was accused of “high crimes and misdemeanors” stemming from his attempt to fire Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton; the trial ended on May 26 with Johnson’s acquittal. In 1933, in German parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote; the Nazis joined with a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag. In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, in which he said: “From Stettin in the Baltic, to Trieste in the Adriatic, an ‘iron curtain’ has descended across the continent, allowing police governments to rule Eastern Europe.” In 1953, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died after three decades in power. Composer Sergei Prokofiev died in Moscow at age 61. In 1955, Elvis Presley made his television debut on “Louisiana Hayride” carried by KSLA-TV Shreveport. In 1966, BOAC Flight 911, a Boeing 707, crashed into Japan’s Mount Fuji after breaking up in severe turbulence; all 124 people on board were killed. In 1970, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons went into effect after 43 nations ratified it. In 1982, comedian John Belushi was found dead of a drug overdose in a rented bungalow in Hollywood; he was 33. In 1998, NASA scientists said enough water was frozen in the loose soil of the moon to support a lunar base and perhaps, one day, a human colony. In 2002, President George W. Bush slapped punishing tariffs of eight to 30 percent on several types of imported steel in an effort to aid the ailing U.S. industry. In 2003, In a blunt warning to the United States and Britain, the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Russia said they would block any attempt to get U.N. approval for war against Iraq. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama hosted a White House summit where he pumped allies and skeptics alike for ways to overhaul the nation’s costly and frustrating health care system. As thousands demonstrated outside, California Supreme Court justices listened to legal arguments over the passage of Proposition 8, which banned samesex marriage. NATO agreed, after intense internal debate, to restore normal relations with Russia seven months after it had frozen ties in response to Moscow’s invasion of Georgia. Five years ago: President Barack Obama’s choice to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, Debo Adegbile (DAY’-boh uh-DAYG’-bih-lay), was blocked by bipartisan Senate opposition over his legal work at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund on behalf of Mumia Abu-Jamal, who’s serving life in prison in the 1981 shooting death of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. The former Internal Revenue Service official at the heart of the controversy over the agency’s targeting of conservative groups, Lois Lerner, once again refused to answer questions at a House hearing. One year ago: House Speaker Paul Ryan and other Republican allies of President Donald Trump pleaded with him to back away from his threatened tariffs, but Trump responded, “We’re not backing down.” Los Angeles police arrested Terry Bryant, 47, on charges that he stole Frances McDormand’s Oscar trophy after the Academy Awards a night earlier; the award was returned to the actress.

Teen’s tall tales of dating a star shock her friends a celebration of life for a schoolmate of hers. Everyone gathered outside at a park pavilion to listen to a minister and friends or family speak about the deceased. Twenty minutes before the last speaker was done I noticed my 22-year-old grandson had gone inside Abigail Van Buren the building where there was food for everyone. When I asked my daughter where he had gone, she said he had gone to the bathroom. Abby, there were no restrooms in the building. When the speakers were finished, the minister invited everyone to go inside for food and refreshments. When my daughter and I went inside, there sat my grandson eating away. He was the only person doing so. I asked my daughter why he was eating before everyone had even been invited, and her answer was, “He’s a growing boy.” I thought what he did was rude and uncalled for. Am I too old school, or am I out of touch with the new “way”? -- GRANDDAD IN KANSAS
DEAR GRANDDAD: You are not out of touch. Your grandson’s behavior was selfish and insensitive. Someone should have mentioned that fact to him. He’s not a growing boy. He’s an adult with boorish manners. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been trying to have a child for a while now. I am finally pregnant, but he is on the fence about wanting to keep the pregnancy because of the possibility of it being twins. What should I do? -- WORRIED LOVESICK WIFE DEAR WORRIED: It’s a little late for your husband to be waffling. He should have considered this possibility when he put you on the path to motherhood and be grateful if the baby/babies are born healthy. Remind him that regardless of whether there will be one or two bundles of joy, your husband will be responsible until he, she or they are adults. If he can’t accept that, then what you should do is marry someone mature and stable enough to accept his responsibilities as a husband the next time around. 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.

Take a break for family this spring! Dear Readers: It’s getting close to SPRING BREAK, and that’s great news for those of us with wanderlust. Gas prices are the lowest they’ve been in many years; piling the kids or grandkids in the car and hitting the road is a wonderful idea. A budget-friendly trip could involve a ride to the next city. Look at a map -- where would you go? Pack sandwiches, veggies and water for a healthy meal, or stop at a vintage roadside diner. Souvenirs don’t have to be bought; shoot a video, or take some beautiful pictures with your phone. Plan ahead, look for discount coupons for parks and get your vehicle checked out by your service station before you head out. Enjoy this time with your family! -- Heloise MY PLUS-ONE Dear Heloise: I am wondering why the rooms for disabled people in hotels/motels only have one bed in them. People with disabilities often travel with a caregiver, and it helps to have that person in the same room. Instead of having a queen- or king-size bed in the room, they could put two double beds in the room. There’d still be room for a wheelchair or scooter. -- Carol C., via email Hi, Carol. This is a frustration! Phone calls to the corporate office are in order. Also, when you make your reservation, phone the front desk directly and speak to a front-desk agent or manager. They can be of great help. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I am a 15-year-old girl. I have been friends with “Amanda” for two years. She helped me through a really tough time, which is how we became friends. Recently, she has been going around telling people she is dating someone famous from a band and claiming she gets to hang out with them all the time. It is really stressful. My other friend and I don’t understand why Amanda is doing this. We think it’s wrong to tell people these lies. When we have asked her about it, she always gets defensive and lies to us. She blocked my friend and me on Instagram, and that really upset us as well. We don’t know what to do. We know you give great advice, and we hope you can help us with this. -- STRESSED OUT IN IOWA DEAR STRESSED OUT: People lie for various reasons -- to make others think they are important, popular, smarter or more successful than they really are. Sometimes it works. More often, when the truth comes out, the liar looks foolish and untrustworthy. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to fix Amanda. You tried and it didn’t work, so step aside. This is a lesson she will have to learn on her own. DEAR ABBY: My daughter invited me to

ready has open water, an occurrence normally seen in June. It’s the second consecutive winter for low sea ice. Last year, it was low all season. This winter, a warm November was followed by a cold December and January, Thoman said. “Then the weather pattern changed and the ice has just collapsed,” he said. He suspects that heat in the ocean played a factor. Phyllis Stabenow, a physical oceanographer at the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said Monday that storms played a large role in the extreme low ice. Winds from November to April typically blow out of the north or northwest and are cold, driving ice southward, she said by email. The year, warm winds in a series of storms blew out of the southwest in midJanuary and especially February. “These storms broke the ice up and pushed it north. Also some of the ice melted. So the ice is now similar in extent to what it was last year at this time and last year had the lowest maximum ice extent ever observed,” she said. Thoman and Stabenow did not label the unusual ice event as climate change. The Bering Sea has been warm for several years, Thoman said. The ice loss can be attributed to a warm ocean and combination of an unusual but not unprecedented weather pattern. However, some events are unlikely to occur without climate change, he said. Stabenow said no single event can be attributed to climate change.

Greg Eagle, from Kodiak, said it’s important to keep in mind that (marijuana is) a legal business, and the public safety member needs to keep a positive attitude. “We need people who are up there just to make things work,” Eagle said.

executive director of the Alaska Marijuana Industry Association. “While the AMIA has not issued testimony, we do think there is some cause for concern,” Carrigan said, noting that Jaime could be directly influenced by the governor since he is a state employee. “If there’s not some way to guarantee a firewall to protect him, there’s no real way to assure that the action Jaime would take could be shielded from the governor. We want to make sure that (board members are) impartial.” The chair of the committee had some follow-ups to Carrigan’s comments.
“The other point that Mr. Carrigan made is the proposal that the alcohol board and marijuana board be disbanded and the duties of these boards be in the hands of the commissioner. Do you have a position on this proposal?” Rep. Adam Wool, D-Fairbanks, asked. “That’s the governor’s choice to do that or not,” Jaime says. Rep. Sara Hannan, DJuneau, asked if he’s on the state clock when he’s attending meetings and how it would impact his post. There was chatter after the meeting that Jaime would be the first person to ever receive a salary while sitting on the board since it’s
a volunteer board. House Labor & Commerce passed his nomination through the committee and recommended it be taken to a vote in a joint session at a later date. Controversial nominee Vivian Stiver is set for a hearing at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday in the Capitol. She’s drawn fire from the industry as being a ‘enemy of the industry.’ Stiver has a history of speaking against marijuana legalization. She was involved in a failed 2017 effort to ban marijuana operations in Fairbanks. The Fairbanks area has become a prominent growing region for the legal industry.

Center, which will be there until Wednesday. FEMA spokesman Jack Heesch said that where the Nikiski team was part of an outreach program to help people get registered into FEMA’s databank, this new recovery center in Soldotna is focused on helping those who have already registered determine their current status and what else they need to do in order to receieve assistance. “It’s an opportunity to sit down and talk with someone in person about their applications. We all know that can make the process a lot easier,” said Heesch. According to a press release, the disaster recovery center will provide in-person advice and referrals to residents of the Kenai Peninsula who suffered damage to their homes or properties in the aftermath of the Nov. 30 earthquake. Staff from FEMA, the US Small Business Administration, and other local agencies will help Alaskans determine their eligibility for programs such as FEMA’s individual assistance program, as well as help with completing paperwork or checking the status

“What can be said is that some climate models predict more southerly winds, which will reduce ice extent,” she said. “Also, an increase in southerly winds in the northern Bering Sea during the fall and winter has been observed since 2016.” Sea ice is an important feature of the ecosystem. Its absence has implications above and below the ocean surface. Coastal communities historically could rely on a barrier of sea ice after Labor Day to protect them from the pounding of fierce winter storms. Without an ice cover, waves erode beaches and sometimes flood villages, Thoman said. Residents of coastal villages traditionally hunt and butcher marine mammals such as walruses and seals when the animals “haul out” on ice. Residents of St. Lawrence Island last year had to try to hunt in open water far from shore, Thoman said. “Now instead of going out one mile, you have to go out 50. There’s that increased cost,” Thoman said. “It’s much more difficult to butcher an animal the size of a walrus in a boat as opposed to on ice. Much greater chance of injury to the people. Much greater chance of losing the animal altogether.” Sea ice historically has formed a “cold pool” in the central Bering Sea, a barrier of cold water that sets the structure for fish. The cold pool acts as a thermal wall, keeping valuable commercial fish such walleye pollock and Pacific cod, in the southern and central Bering Sea. In the absence of sea ice last year, federal fish biologists conducting surveys found that a 2018 cold pool had not formed and that southern species had migrated north in far greater numbers.
‘It’s an opportunity to sit down and talk with someone in person about their applications. We all know that can make the process a lot easier.’ — Jack Heesch, FEMA spokesman of applications. Anyone looking to apply for disaster assistance at the recovery center should bring all the necessary information with them, including social security number, address of the damaged residence, description of the damage, information about insurance coverage and contact information. To receive recovery funds through direct deposit, banking information should also be brought to the recovery center. The United Methodist Church is located at 158 S Binkley St in Soldotna. For more information about disaster recovery assistance, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Anchorage pet licenses can now come with digital codes aimed at more rapidly reuniting lost pets with owners and freeing up shelter space, officials say. The Anchorage Animal Care and Control Center started offering digital pet licenses this year. A Washington state-based company called Pethub produces the tags, which come with

At the Anchorage cemetery, families have the option of paying $150 for a QR code to accompany the gravesite of a loved one. The codes are mounted on the columbarium wall. A smartphone scan launches a memorial website. About a dozen families have purchased the codes since the program began a few years ago, said cemetery director Rob Jones. The cemetery has also purchased a code to be placed near the whale bones that mark the graves
