In the news Beaver makes surprise cameo in Alaska police camera video ANCHORAGE — A police camera caught a beaver’s surprise appearance near a traffic stop in Alaska’s largest city. Anchorage police posted the brief video on the department’s Facebook page Wednesday showing the creature ambling into the road between two patrol cars. The beaver then backtracks before disappearing from the screen. Police wrote in the post, “We say it all the time: Rubbernecking is bad.” They said, “Thankfully he didn’t end up a speed bump. That would’ve been depressy (depressing + messy). Nothing to see here, buddy. Scurry on.”
1 dead, 2 hurt in Parks Highway collision ANCHORAGE — Alaska State Troopers say a 22-year-old South Dakota man died and two other people were injured in a collision on the Parks Highway. Nicholas Bertram, who was driving an SUV, died at the scene of the Thursday afternoon crash. Troopers say the crash occurred when the SUV collided with a semi tractor-trailer as the SUV was turning left onto the highway at the intersection of the Big Lake cutoff. Troopers say the driver of the semi, 37-year-old Arnol Farmer, was unable to avoid the collision. Farmer was not injured. Two passengers in the SUV — 43-year-old Frieda Gillespie and 28-yearold Shawn Phillips-Tomlinson — were taken to an area hospital. Troopers say one of those passengers was flown there. — Associated Press

Coast Guard releases report on crane fatality By Michael Armstrong Homer News
Improper operation of a crane in the buoy yard of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Hickory in January caused a crane to roll over and kill a crew member of the Hickory, a report released Tuesday concluded. The Major Incident Investigation board report also cited leadership deficiencies aboard the Hickory that contributed to inadequate crewmember training. On Jan. 31, while Hickory crew moved buoys and other items in the yard at the Homer Harbor, a Shuttlelift crane rolled over, with the boom hitting Chief Warrant Officer Michael Kozloski on the head while he stood talking to another crewmember within the area of the crane operations. Rear Admiral Matthew T. Bell Jr., commander of the 17th Coast Guard District, Juneau, has temporarily relieved the Hickory’s

Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce’s veto of $2.4 million of supplemental funding for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District will stand — after the action was sustained at Tuesday’s assembly meeting. The Borough Assembly passed an ordinance April 16 increasing the fiscal year 2019 funds to the school district by $2,423,955. The ordinance passed last month, 5-4. To overturn the veto, the assembly needed six votes in favor. At Tuesday’s assembly meeting, there was no public comment or assembly discussion regarding the ordinance. The assembly voted 3-6, with assembly members Kelly

Native veterans get another chance to receive land By ALEX DeMARBAN Anchorage Daily News
ANCHORAGE — Nelson Angapak Sr. promised Sen. Ted Stevens to help Alaska Native veterans get another chance to apply for prized land allotments. It took two decades, but the 74-year-old Yup’ik leader from Southwest Alaska has done it — with help from others, he points out. Congress in March passed a major lands bill that opens the door for more Native veterans to apply for tracts of land of up to 160 acres. It follows a more limited application period in 1998, an opportunity that many veterans said wasn’t enough. The allotments were offered to Alaska Natives by the federal government beginning in 1906, after

non-Native settlers and miners began arriving in the state and claiming Native lands.
The program’s original restrictions prevented many from applying until the 1960s, as today’s vet-
erans were heading overseas during the Vietnam War era, said Kevin Illingworth, professor of tribal
management at University of Alaska Fairbanks. Nonprofit firms helped many Natives apply at the time. Applications surged. More than 13,000 allotments were awarded then, representing a tiny fraction of land in Alaska. But the program ended in 1971, before many of the 3,000 or so Natives serving in the military returned to Alaska. “The Native veterans never got that assistance, or they didn’t know about this allotment push,” Illingworth said. Angapak planned to apply for the land-allotment program in his early 20s. But the U.S. Army drafted him in 1969, whisking him to Turkey to be a communications specialist for two years. “As military personnel you get very engrossed See VETS, page A8
More details emerge from fatal Ketchikan crash By Alex McCarthy Juneau Empire
The pilot of one of the planes involved in the fatal May 13 crash near Ketchikan told investigators that just before the crash, he dropped his plane to a lower altitude to show the passengers a waterfall, according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation
Safety Board. The report, dated Wednesday, provides detail of the crash from the pilot of a Taquan Air Otter airplane. The pilot of the Mountain Air Beaver airplane, 46-year-old Ketchikan resident Randy Sullivan, died in the crash. Five others were killed in the crash, and 10 were injured.
The Taquan pilot, who has not been identified, told investigators that he hadn’t seen any conflicting traffic on his flight display that included Automatic Dependent SurveillanceBroadcast data. He had last looked at the display when he was flying over Carroll Inlet, according to the report. The crash occurred near the west side of
Tribal officials blame state for stalled child welfare talks FAIRBANKS (AP) — Alaska Native officials have criticized the state for backing out of negotiations over the Alaska Tribal Child Welfare Compact, a report said. The Alaska Federation of Natives and state tribal officials blamed Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy and his administration in a May 17 statement for
the breakdown of negotiations over funding, The Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported Thursday. The compact signed by former independent Gov. Bill Walker in 2017 said Alaska Natives make up about 20% of the state’s children but more than half are in foster care. The agreement enables tribes to manage services
for those children. The state entered negotiations expecting all tribal funding for fiscal year 2020 would go toward “direct services and deliverables” and that tribes would come up with their own insurance to cover risks related to work done by the state in the process, said Matt See TALKS, page A3
George Inlet, east of Mahoney Lake, at about 3,350 feet, investigators say. Prior to descending to view the waterfall, the Otter was flying at about 3,700 feet. The Beaver was traveling at 3,350 feet as it approached the scene of the crash, according to the report. Right before the collision, the pilot saw a flash
from his left, he told investigators. After the impact, the plane rolled right and began to dive nose-first toward the George Inlet water. The pilot was able to regain some control over the plane in the next five seconds before it hit the water, the pilot told investigators. The Otter’s wreckage came to rest about 80 feet See CRASH, page A2
Free dump sites for beetlekilled trees in Mat-Su Borough PALMER (AP) — The Matanuska-Susitna Borough is offering free sites for residents to dispose of spruce beetle-killed trees. The move comes as officials try to reduce fire danger amid a spruce beetle infestation, the Anchorage Daily News reported. The sites are the borough’s central landfill, as well as transfer stations at Big Lake and near Talkeetna. The service is available
only to borough residents for private, not commercial, use. The disposal sites are part of an initiative announced Thursday by officials. The insects are native to Alaska. The infestations have come in cycles, with the last one damaging nearly 4,700 square miles in South central Alaska, primarily on the Kenai See TREES, page A3

Skulls, scales and pull tabs The life of a rock ‘n’ roll bar snake
open. He lifted up one of the bar mats and, to his initial terror and eventual relief, found Rocks hiding underneath. Weeks Kaiser only remembers one time when Rocks got out — a day she chose to wear sandals, of course. She and customers looked all around for him, and a customer was surprised to find that Rocks was actually inside the bar, and poked his head out right in front of where the customer was sitting.
In general, Rocks is harmless. African house snakes aren’t venomous, and Rocks is fairly friendly. He’ll bite you if you reach into his space too aggressively, Cunningham said. Like a washed-up rock band, Rocks has seen better days and played better gigs, but he still draws a crowd. His eyes are glazed over, his skin is molting, he’s moving slowly and his mouth usually hangs open. Customers don’t care. They come over and wave to Rocks and ask bartenders questions about the revered reptile. Weeks Kaiser said they might put him down soon, as he’s fading quickly. Rocks’ encore One way or another, Rocks’ journey won’t end with his death. Both Weeks Kaiser and Cunningham have ideas for how to immortalize him. Weeks Kaiser has been thinking recently about stuffing Rocks and keeping him at the bar. People have come to love Rocks, she said, and still want to see him. Cunningham has long had other plans. Cunningham is still playing rock shows around town, and envisions making Rocks into a guitar strap after his death. The beloved snake would make a good addition to his Kramer DMZ 5000 metal-necked bass guitar, Cunningham said. “Some people might not like the idea, but I thought, ‘If only I could be a killer guitar strap for the rest of my life,’” Cunningham said. “I’d be honored to be a guitar strap.”
trict’s non-tenured teachers. A memo from the ordinance says the additional funding would allow the school district to retain some non-tenured staff for the 2020 school year, and to also potentially provide a cushion to other potential state funding reductions. Since the May 7 assembly meeting, the district offered contracts to 62 non-tenured teachers at a special school board meeting May 16. Pierce issued a memo May 6, to residents explaining his reasoning for the veto, which cited future
fiscal uncertainty at the state level. “It can be argued that Governor Dunleavy’s proposed budget plan to reduce $18 million in revenue from KPB’s revenue and $20 million from the school district’s revenue may be unlikely this upcoming year, yet until their budget process is completed and signed, it is myopic to overspend now,” the memo reads. “Hedging on our future ability to provide funding that we may not have only makes our situation potentially worse.”
By Alex McCarthy Capital City Weekly
JUNEAU — It’s not often that an African house snake gets to live a rock and roll lifestyle. It’s even rarer that the snake gets to do it in Alaska. That’s the life that Rocks has led. The beloved snake has lived at Squirez Bar (formerly Squire’s Rest) for about 18 years, but is likely in his final weeks, Squirez owner Shayla Weeks Kaiser said. He’s lived a full life, one of skulls, pull tabs and occasional escapes. “He’s a senior citizen for sure,” said Troy Cunningham, the bar’s former owner who bought Rocks. “He’s had a good, long life.” When Cunningham bought the bar in 2000, he was spending long hours there and was looking for an addition to the bar that could offer both companionship and a little entertainment value. Cunningham went to the now-closed Wee Fishie Shoppe to look for a pet, and bought Rocks, who was then just about 6 inches long, Cunningham said. Cunningham, a big music fan who plays bass and guitar, used to have rock shows at the bar. Rocks — who got his name by being “the band mascot,” Cunningham said — spent much of his life in a plastic pull tabs container alongside a wolf skull. He’d slither into the skull and stay there for days at a time, occasionally popping his head out to look around. Some-

times he’d come out of his bony refuge if the music was good enough. “He didn’t mind the heavy decibels, apparently,” Cunningham said. “When it would get loud in the bar, I think he’d feel the vibration of it and he’d actually come out and get active.” When Weeks Kaiser bought the bar in 2012, she said, Rocks’ spot on the bar was straight ahead when you walked in the door, under the bell that hangs over the bar.

Eventually, Weeks Kaiser upgraded Rocks to a large tank that was installed where a fireplace used to be in the bar. The wolf skull, of course, came with him. Rocks started to get larger in his expanded place and is now a few feet long. Weeks Kaiser said some customers — including the legendary regular Wolfie, after whom a burger at Devil’s Hideaway is named — weren’t fans of the slithering reptile. Other regulars, including Mike Allen, have
made Rocks a part of their life. Allen, Weeks Keiser said, has taken it upon himself to feed Rocks. He brings in mice for Rocks and helps take care of him. When he was in his lowsecurity pull tabs container on the bar, Rocks would sometimes get out. One time, Cunningham recalled, he thought Rocks had disappeared in the building’s piping and was gone. The day after Rocks’ escape, Cunningham came in and was getting the bar ready to

underwater. The pilot and nine passengers were able to get out of the wreckage, but one passenger died, according to previous reports from NTSB and other agencies. The Beaver broke up in the air and the wreckage was scattered over water and mountainous and treecovered terrain northeast of Mahoney Lake on the west shore of George Inlet. The main wreckage (floats, engine, firewall, instrument panel, lower fuselage structure and right fuselage structure) was found near the mouth of Mahoney Creek, investigators say. The debris field was about 2,000 feet long and 1,000 feet wide. Investigators found that the Beaver’s right wing had several cuts in it that were consistent with cuts from propeller blades, according to the report. Neither airplane was equipped — nor was required to be equipped — with a crash-worthy flight data or cockpit voice recorder, according to the report. Some avionics components and personal electronic devices were recovered from the area, and were shipped to the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C. for examination. The report came out the day after 75-year-old William Resinger of Palmer died in a floatplane crash in Prince William Sound between Whittier and Valdez. That crash marked the third fatal crash in eight days, as a floatplane crashed near Metlakatla on Monday, killing the pilot and his passenger. The Metlakatla crash also involved a Taquan Air plane, authorities said, just like the crash near Ketchikan. Taquan suspended its air operations indefinitely after the second crash. NTSB is investigating all three crashes.

As wildfire season looms, feds look to slash funding California stands on the verge
of yet another devastating wildfire season. So why is the Trump administration planning to slash the state’s wildfire assistance payments? Since 1961, California has had some form of agreement with the federal government to provide financial assistance for firefighting. One of the most obvious reasons for this agreement the fact that 60% of California’s forested land — which tends to be fire-prone — is owned by the federal government. Wildfires scoff at jurisdictional lines, and California firefighters battle blazes on federal land as well as they do on the state’s. So, it’s puzzling that the U.S. Forest Service is accusing the state’s local fire departments of overbilling the federal government. The agency, which audited the most recent fire-service agreement in January, claims that California submitted inaccurate invoices. It’s now threatening to cut millions of dollars’ worth of funding. “The requests for reimbursement were based on an estimate of expenses instead of the actual expenses incurred and the documentation provided did not fully support those actual costs,” U.S. Forest Service National Press Officer Babete Anderson said in a statement. It remains to be seen whether or not the Forest Service was influenced by President Trump’s inaccurate Twitter rants. (In November 2018, he claimed without evidence that there was “no reason” for the deadly California wildfires other than that “forest management is so poor.”) State officials are rightly concerned. “Given increased wildfire risks in recent years, I do not believe any action should be taken to jeopardize that (state-federal) partnership,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., wrote in a May 14 letter to U.S. Forest Service Chief Victoria Christiansen and Sonny Purdue, secretary for the Agriculture Department. The agency told us it was “working cooperatively” with California to settle the dispute. Given the impeding disaster season, Gov. Gavin Newsom needs to make that cooperation a top priority. But it would help if the Trump administration wouldn’t change direction midcourse. — The San Francisco Chronicle, May 20

In support of Gov. Dunleavy’s budget A laska V oices A nn B rown While it is not unusual for political adversaries to call each other Chicken Little, Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s opponents calling his budget “a manufactured crisis” should be forced to eat crow. After all, let’s not forget that former Gov. Bill Walker referred to the State deficit as “the gravest fiscal crisis in history.” While Gov. Walker is now best remembered for the sex harassment scandal surrounding his running mate, Gov. Dunleavy will be remembered for honestly tackling Alaska’s gross deficitspending. Gov. Dunleavy is not shying away from making hard, unpopular decisions, which require sacrifices from all Alaskans. Correspondingly, he is being criticized as “anti-worker and antiAlaskan,” and his budget as “a disaster for Alaska.” But is that fair criticism? I do not think it is. Gov. Walker was praised for taking a “holistic approach” to budgeting, mainly through the capping of permanent fund dividend payments, the institution of new taxes, and accepting the Democrats’ $200 million increases to government spending. By contrast, Gov. Dunleavy’s proposed budget attempts serious reforms to government spending. What he calls
“honest budgeting,” is largely based on the simple concept of spending within our means. If Gov. Walker’s fiscal crisis was so bad that he felt entitled to 1.5% of the income of every Alaskan, it stands to reason that the shortfall might equally require some cuts. And, sadly for the past administration’s acolytes, such an income tax would not fill the gap. Here’s a fact opponents of Gov. Dunleavy’s budget perhaps do not want highlighted: Alaska is ranked second out of all 50 states in the highest welfare spending per capita (New York is Number 1). That’s more than progressive California, poor Mississippi, and high-taxing Massachusetts. Here’s another fact: Alaska is ranked dead last among all 50 states in fourth grade literacy. Alaska, however, was ranked squarely amongst the top five states nationally for the highest amount spent on education per student. Some argue that “pooling” health benefits among the school districts would help solve the ridiculous cost of education, but that is a term that means government-run health care to those who can understand progressivespeak. Further, as reported by KTOO, none of the schools mentioned said they planned to spend a proposed $20 million in cuts on employee health care benefits. How about a third fact: The University of Alaska Anchorage frantically pushes current students to call legislators to protect its funding. Yet it lost accreditation for its School of Educa-
tion because it couldn’t be bothered to fix its data correction practices. This was despite multiple warnings over the two-year accreditation period. This begs the question, what does the University do with its funds if it can’t even respond to those evaluating its accreditation? While the elite class quakes at the possibility of losing control over its inefficient fiefdoms, perhaps we can all take a step back and review the findings. Over-spending as much as the State has does not seem to be reducing economic dependency or improving educational achievements. Rather than continuing to waste funds, let’s allow Gov. Dunleavy to try it his way. The governor wants to spend what money we have more efficiently, while accounting for assured cost increases in the future. If we do not get our spending under control, the government will forever be turning to the pocketbooks of Alaskans, hand out expectantly. Gov. Dunleavy’s budget eliminates duplicative programs, prevents additional savings from being frittered away, limits public servant salaries, reduces government-approved travel, and accounts for the projected increase in spending due to inflation. If his opponents were honest with Alaskans (or even with themselves), they’d know that his approach is warranted. Ann Brown is the vice president of the Alaska Policy Forum. A retired attorney, she lived in Fairbanks for over 30 years. For the past couple of years she has made Anchorage her home.
No reason education should not be funded this year A laska V oices K evin C larkson There is a legal battle brewing over education funding. But, it is not a battle over whether education should be funded — both the Legislature and Gov. Mike Dunleavy agree that it should. It is not even over the amount; the governor has introduced a bill to fully fund education and stated he will not veto the funding. This is a battle over whether the annual budgeting process envisioned by our founders and set forth in the Alaska Constitution requires the Legislature and the governor every year to consider how to spend the revenues available to them and prohibits setting aside future revenues in a future fiscal year. As it stands now, it is the Department of Law’s view that the Legislature has not yet allocated money for the state to fund education in the forthcoming year. How did this start? In 2018, the 30th Legislature future appropriated money for education for fiscal year 2020, thereby earmarking money that the state would only receive after fiscal year 2019. What’s wrong with that? It violates the Alaska Constitution. The Alaska Supreme Court has ruled that the Alaska Constitution mandates an annual budgeting process —“the constitutional framers believed that the legislature would be required to decide funding priorities annually on the merits of the various proposals presented.” According to our court,
the Legislature and the governor have a “joint responsibility … to determine the State’s spending priorities on an annual basis.” Each year, the Legislature can appropriate at their discretion revenues that will be available in the forthcoming fiscal year, but not beyond that. They cannot cut out the future Legislature and future governor from exercising their joint responsibility to determine the funding priorities in a future fiscal year. If the Legislature can appropriate future revenues for future years at the end of one governor’s administration, they can side-step the joint responsibility of the next Legislature and next governor, and by this logic, appropriate all funding for an entire governor’s term. This improperly infringes on the next governor’s line item veto power. But, it also infringes on the next Legislature’s appropriation authority. For example, if a Legislature chose to future appropriate for four years, then the next Legislature would be stuck with that budget, unless it had the political will to amend or repeal it and the governor agrees. If the next governor wanted to maintain the priorities set in place by the prior Legislature, the governor could just veto any amendments by the Legislature. This would leave the next Legislature without the ability to present its own funding priorities to the governor. This is why our court has described our constitutional process as prohibiting “appropriating a revenue stream for more than the immediately forthcoming fiscal year.” The logic put forth by some in the Legislature that future appropriating is fine because the current Legislature can repeal the previous future appropriation does not pass
constitutional muster and ignores the very real political difference between trying to change an existing law and passing a new one. There is no guarantee of the necessary political alignment to repeal the appropriation in the next Legislature. And, the Legislature does not get to pass an unconstitutional law just because they could repeal it next year. Our constitution requires an annual budgeting process, period. Moreover, the Alaska Constitution forbids the dedication of funds for a specific purpose. This prohibition is to “preserve control of and responsibility for state spending in the legislature and the governor,” and to ensure “that the legislature” is “required to decide funding priorities annually on the merits of the various proposals presented.” The anti-dedication clause is violated whenever the Legislature attempts to restrict the use of future revenues to a single purpose. Our court may ultimately get to decide these questions, but in the meantime there is no reason that education should not be funded by this Legislature for the upcoming fiscal year. The Legislature can pass a contingent appropriation while the legal battle ensues. Or, the Legislature could pass the majority of education funding through two appropriations, approximately $1.2 billion, while leaving the smaller part of the 2018 appropriation, $30 million, for the legal battle. The Legislature has multiple avenues to ensure the governor receives a valid appropriation funding education. If education is not funded this year, it’s on the Legislature, not the governor.

Flooding leads to evacuations TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Officials on Saturday warned some Tulsa residents to prepare to head to higher ground because old levees holding back the swollen Arkansas River are stressed and more rain is expected for the floodweary region. The river was four feet above flood stage on Friday and was already causing flooding in parts of Oklahoma’s second-largest city, including in south Tulsa where the murky brown water had inundated low-lying neighborhoods and crept right up to the River Spirit Hotel and Casino, which closed for the weekend. City officials said at a news conference Saturday that people living west of downtown should consider leaving for higher ground, even though the levees aren’t currently considered to be in danger of failing. If an evacuation becomes necessary, it would need to happen quickly, they said. Mayor G.T. Bynum said the levees were built in the 1940s and haven’t had to hold back this much water since 1986. Officials also said they don’t expect the river to recede in Tulsa until Wednesday at the earliest, pushing back their initial estimate by three days. “The level of risk you have in staying there is very high,”

Bynum said. “That’s an unnecessary risk.” About 55 miles southeast of Tulsa, the small town of Braggs was completely surrounded by water and without power, according to Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management spokeswoman Keli Cain. Cain said it’s not clear how many of the town’s approximately 260 residents evacuated before the flooding, but water rescue teams deployed to assist there, as well as in other areas of Muskogee, Wagoner, Rogers and Nowata counties. Officials in Muskogee and Wagoner counties urged
voluntary evacuations of lowlying areas along the Arkansas River, where water could be seen up to roofs, as well as along the rising Verdigris River. Cain said across the state, 87 people have been injured in the flooding, which has not yet peaked. Storms have buffeted the central Plains and Midwest all spring, inundating the ground and leaving rain with nowhere to go but into already bloated waterways. The region’s most recent spate of bad weather and flooding has been blamed for at least nine deaths. Downriver in northwest-
ern Arkansas, between 100 and 200 residents had already evacuated their homes in the state’s second-largest city of Fort Smith, which is about 100 miles southeast of Tulsa. Karen Santos, a spokeswoman for the city of roughly 80,000 people, said at least one house along the river had been completely submerged. Laurie Driver, a spokeswoman for the Army Corps of Engineers, said the increased release of floodwater from upriver dams would affect Arkansas’ levee systems, which also haven’t been tested for as much water as is expected.
Hate makes a comeback in Northwest By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. — Nearly two decades after the Aryan Nations’ Idaho compound was demolished, farright extremists are maintaining a presence in the Pacific Northwest. White nationalism has been on the rise across the U.S., but it has particular resonance along the IdahoWashington border, where the Aryans espoused hate and violence for years. The neo-Nazi group was based near Hayden Lake, Idaho, starting in the 1970s, and eventually was bankrupted in a lawsuit brought by local activists and the Southern Poverty Law Center. Its compound was seized, and supporters dispersed. But a series of incidents in recent weeks show farright sentiments never really left the conservative region. In the county that is home to Hayden Lake, for instance, Republicans last month passed a measure expressing support for U.S. entry of a prominent Austrian far-right activist who was investigated for ties to the suspected New Zealand mosque gunman. In 2018, at least nine hate groups operated in the region of Spokane and northern Idaho, including Identity Evropa, Proud Boys, ACT for America and America’s Promise Ministries, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The center does not track how many members belong to each group. Keegan Hankes, a researcher for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said the number of hate groups is growing across the U.S., driven in part by a toxic political culture. The human rights group counted 784 active hate groups in the U.S. in 2014 and 1,020 in 2018. In particular, white supremacist groups are growing because of fears that the country’s racial makeup is changing. “That drives a ton of anxiety,” Hankes said. These new far-right activists are more scattered than the ones who used to gather at the Aryan Nations by the dozens, experts say. “It is no longer necessary to go to a compound in Hayden Lake, Idaho,” said Kristine Hoover, director of the Gonzaga Institute for Hate Studies in Spokane. With the proliferation of social media, groups “form
in dispersed locations” and gatherings are “more covert,” she said. In late April, a self-described “American Nationalist” named Brittany Pettibone appeared at a meeting of Kootenai County, Idaho, Republicans to ask for help to bring her boyfriend, Martin Sellner, to the country from Austria. Pettibone, 26, said Sellner wants to marry her and live in Post Falls, Idaho. Pettibone was a big promoter of the hoax known as “Pizzagate,” telling her online followers Hillary Clinton and other high-profile Democrats were involved in satanic rituals and child sex trafficking tied to a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant. Sellner is a leading figure in the extremist “identitarian” movement, which espouses a white nationalist ideology and has swept over Europe amid an influx of migrants and refugees. He has confirmed he exchanged emails with the suspected New Zealand shooter, who donated money to Sellner’s group. But Sellner denies involvement in the attack. Despite his background, the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee passed a resolution urging the federal government to allow Sellner into the United States. The resolution said the government revoked Sellner’s travel privileges “for political reasons,” and demanded those privileges be reinstated. Faced with criticism for giving Pettibone a platform, Kootenai County GOP Chair Brent Regan blamed the press. “In its lust for scandal, the media has stretched the committee’s simple act of kindness into headlines that are too bizarre to be fiction,” he wrote in a recent op-ed. Also last month, The Guardian published internet chats from 2017 in which a Washington state legislator and three other men discussed confronting “leftists” with a variety of tactics, including violence, surveillance and intimidation. The messages prompted Washington House Democrats to demand that the Republican lawmaker, Rep. Matt Shea of Spokane Valley, be reprimanded for a history of far-right speech and activities. While Shea did not propose violence, he did not speak up when violence was proposed, Democrats said. House Republican Leader J.T. Wilcox of Yelm responded that Shea should not be punished before investigations are
completed. The House, led by Democrats, will conduct an independent investigation of the lawmaker. Shea, who rarely speaks to reporters, did not return numerous messages from The Associated Press. He has served in the state House since 2008, introducing bills to criminalize abortion and roll back gun laws and pushing for eastern Washington to secede from the rest of the state. The military veteran attracted international attention in 2018
after a document he wrote laid out a “biblical basis for war” against people who practiced same-sex marriage and abortion, and instructed: “If they do not yield, kill all males.” In a third case, a nationwide arrest warrant was issued in May for a Stevens County, Washington, man who allegedly tried to extort members of his right-wing militia group through anonymous written threats backed by insinuations they came from a Mexican drug cartel.

Around the Nation Stan Lee’s former manager arrested on elder abuse charges LOS ANGELES — A former business manager of Stan Lee was arrested Saturday on elder abuse charges involving the late comic book legend. Keya Morgan was taken into custody in Arizona on an outstanding arrest warrant after being charged by Los Angeles County prosecutors earlier this month. Morgan faces felony charges including theft, embezzlement, forgery or fraud against an elder adult, and false imprisonment of an elder adult. A misdemeanor count also alleges elder abuse. Authorities say Morgan sought to capitalize on the Marvel Comic mastermind’s wealth and exert influence over Lee even though he had no authority to act on his behalf. Police say Morgan pocketed more than $262,000 from autograph signing sessions Lee did in May 2018. Authorities say Morgan at one point also took Lee from his Hollywood Hills home to a Beverly Hills condominium “where Morgan had more control over Lee.” Lee’s daughter said in a request for a restraining order last year that Morgan was manipulating the mentally declining Lee, preventing him from seeing family and friends, and trying to take control of his money and business affairs.
Man dies in Hawaii after reported shark attack MAUI, Hawaii (AP) — A man has died in Hawaii after a reported shark attack. Authorities say shark warning signs were being posted in the Ka’anapali Beach Park area on Maui where the man died Saturday morning. The signs will remain in place until at least noon Sunday. The man’s name has not been released.
3 soccer teammates killed by driver while waiting for bus NORTH MIAMI, Fla. — A driver has crashed into three South Florida soccer teammates who were waiting for their bus, killing the teens. The Miami Herald reports the crash occurred Saturday morning in North Miami. Authorities say the unidentified driver survived the wreck and was hospitalized in serious condition. The teens were in their soccer uniforms, ready to play in a tournament in Weston. They were part of the Little Haiti Football Club, a nonprofit that identifies low-income children with athletic talent. Pat Santangelo sits on the board of directors for the soccer organization. He says many of the 100 kids enrolled in the free program are either homeless, undocumented or low-income. — Associated Press
Today in History Today is Sunday, May 26, the 146th day of 2019. There are 219 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 26, 1972, President Richard M. Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev signed the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in Moscow. (The U.S. withdrew from the treaty in 2002.) On this date: In 1647, Alse (Alice) Young was hanged in Hartford, Connecticut, in the first recorded execution of a “witch” in the American colonies. In 1865, Confederate forces west of the Mississippi surrendered in New Orleans. In 1868, the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson ended with his acquittal on the remaining charges. In 1897, the Gothic horror novel “Dracula” by Bram Stoker was first published in London. In 1938, the House Un-American Activities Committee was established by Congress. In 1940, Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of some 338,000 Allied troops from Dunkirk, France, began during World War II. In 1954, explosions rocked the aircraft carrier USS Bennington off Rhode Island, killing 103 sailors. (The initial blast was blamed on leaking catapult fluid ignited by the flames of a jet.) In 1969, the Apollo 10 astronauts returned to Earth after a successful eight-day dress rehearsal for the first manned moon landing. In 1978, Resorts Casino Hotel, the first legal U.S. casino outside Nevada, opened in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1981, 14 people were killed when a Marine jet crashed onto the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz off Florida. In 1998, the U.S. Supreme Court made it far more difficult for police to be sued by people hurt during high-speed chases. The Supreme Court also ruled that Ellis Island, historic gateway for millions of immigrants, was mainly in New Jersey, not New York. In 2005, President George W. Bush received Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas at the White House; Bush called Abbas a courageous democratic reformer and bolstered his standing at home with $50 million in assistance. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama nominated federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court. California’s Supreme Court upheld the Proposition 8 gay marriage ban but said the 18,000 same-sex weddings that had taken place before the prohibition passed were still valid. Five years ago: Pope Francis honored Jews killed in the Holocaust and in terrorist attacks during a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem as he wrapped up his Mideast pilgrimage. Egypt began holding a three-day presidential election (former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi emerged the landslide winner). One year ago: Joshua Holt, who traveled to Venezuela from Utah in 2016 to marry a Spanish-speaking Mormon woman, but was jailed and labeled as the CIA’s top spy in Latin America, was set free by Venezuela’s anti-American government and returned to the United States with his wife. The leaders of North and South Korea met for the second time in a month in a surprise summit at a border village to discuss Kim Jong Un’s potential meeting with President Donald Trump.

Trump downplays NKorean missile threat By JILL COLVIN Associated Press
TOKYO — In an apparent contradiction of his national security adviser, President Donald Trump on Sunday downplayed recent North Korean missile tests, tweeting from Tokyo that they’re not a concern for him — even though they are for Japan. Trump also said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s attacks on one of his Democratic rivals, former Vice President Joe Biden, had made him smile. The remarks were the latest example of Trump’s willingness to publicly undermine senior advisers, flout Democratic norms and side with totalitarian leaders, even on the world stage. He did so this time during a four-day state visit to Japan where he’ll become the first leader to meet with the country’s new emperor. “North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me,” Trump tweeted in one of a flurry of early morning messages that suggested he’d spent little time sleeping after the lengthy flight to Asia. “Some” of his “people” appear to include national security adviser John Bolton, who told reporters at a briefing Saturday ahead of Trump’s arrival that a series of short-range missile tests by North Korea earlier this month were a violation of U.N.

Security Council resolutions. “In terms of violating U.N. Security Council resolutions, there is no doubt about that,” said Bolton, responding to the May 4 and 9 tests that ended a pause in launches that began in late 2017. Trump ignored a shouted question Sunday about whether he agreed with Bolton’s assessment. Trump and other administration officials have sought to downplay the significance of the tests, insisting they do not violate an agreement Trump reached with Kim for a moratorium on launches.
“The moratorium was focused, very focused, on intercontinental missile systems, the ones that threaten the United States,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a recent television interview. That raised alarm bells in Japan, where short-range missiles pose a serious threat because of the country’s proximity to North Korea. Trump in his tweet said he had “confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me,” while at the same time embracing Kim’s recent attacks on Biden, whose name
he misspelled. Trump said he “smiled” when Kim “called Swampman Joe Bidan a low IQ individual, & worse.” “Perhaps that’s sending me a signal?” Trump asked. North Korea this week labeled Biden a “fool of low IQ” and an “imbecile bereft of elementary quality as a human being” after the U.S. presidential hopeful accused Trump of cozying up to “dictators and tyrants” like Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin during his campaign launch speech.
Nepal’s record-setting Everest guide returns a hero KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — Family, friends and supporters welcomed a veteran Sherpa guide upon his return to Nepal’s capital on Saturday, days after his 24th climb of Mount Everest extended his record. After flying back from Everest to Kathmandu, Kami Rita was greeted by the waiting crowd at the airport. His wife hugged him and the crowd covered him with a cream-colored scarf and offered him yogurt. The brief celebration at the airport parking area with traditional drums was followed by Rita riding on a truck waving to supporters as they drove out of the airport. He told reporters he was very happy but exhausted. Rita reached Everest’s 29,035-foot peak on Tuesday, the second time he had climbed to the summit in a week. He also reached the top of the world’s highest peak on May 15, then returned to base camp before climbing again this past week. The climbs bring Rita, 49, closer to his target of 25 ascents of Everest before he retires from high mountain climbing. His two closest peers have climbed Everest 21 times each, but both of them have retired from mountain climbing. There are 41 teams with a total of 378 climbers permitted to scale Everest during
the spring climbing season. An equal number of Nepalese guides are helping them get to the summit. About half a dozen climbers died this past week, most of them while descending from the summit during only a few windows of good weather each May. Most are believed to have suffered from altitude sickness, which is caused by low amounts of oxygen at high elevation and can cause headaches, vomiting, shortness of breath and mental confusion. Among the latest fatalities was British climber Robin Haynes Fisher, 44. Murari Sharma, managing director of Everest Parivar Expedition Pvt Ltd, said Fisher and his Sherpa guide reached the summit at around 8:30 .a.m. on Saturday and had descended 490 feet when he fell unconscious. A group of Sherpas changed his oxygen bottle and tried to give him some water but he could not be revived, he said. Rita first scaled Everest in 1994 and has been making the trip nearly every year since. His father was among the first Sherpa guides employed to help climbers reach the summit, and Rita followed in his footsteps and then some. In addition to his two dozen summits of Everest, Rita has scaled some of the other highest mountains, including K-2, Cho-Oyu, Manaslu and Lhotse.
Venezuela negotiators return to Norway for crisis talks CARACAS, Venezuela — Representatives of the Venezuelan government and opposition have returned to Norway for talks aimed at resolving the political crisis in the South American country, the Norwegian government said Saturday. Norway said it will mediate discussions next week in Oslo, in an indication that the negotiation track is gaining momentum after months of escalating tension between Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Juan Guaidó, the U.S.-backed opposition leader.

an earlier round of exploratory talks, will once again lead the government delegation. They will be joined this time
by Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza, said Maduro, who thanked Norway for promoting “peace and stability” in
Venezuela through the mediation effort. Larry Devoe, the government’s top human rights official, is also a delegate member, said a Venezuelan official who was not authorized to discuss the talks and spoke on condition of anonymity. The opposition delegation is being led by Stalin González, a senior member of the opposition-controlled congress, former Caracas area Mayor Gerardo Blyde and former Transport Minister Fernando Martínez Mottola, according to an opposition statement. They will be joined by Vicente Diaz, a supporter of past negotiations with the government who previously served on the nation’s electoral council.
Both delegations traveled Saturday for the meetings, according to officials. Norwegian Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Soreide praised both sides for their involvement. Representatives of Venezuela’s political factions traveled to the European country earlier this month for talks, but it had been unclear if they would continue to engage with one another amid increased tensions over the opposition’s call for a military uprising on April 30. The opposition had previously ruled out talks, accusing Maduro of using negotiations between 2016 and 2018 to play for time, and has demanded Maduro’s resignation and early elections. Maduro, in turn, alleges the opposition tried to
seize power by force. Addressing supporters on a visit to Venezuela’s Lara state, Guaidó said the opposition would not be subjected to “false dialogue” as in the past. “That is why we are on the streets, aware that we can’t believe anything the dictatorship says,” said the leader of the opposition-led National Assembly. The U.S. State Department noted the arrests of key opposition figures in Venezuela and said the only thing to negotiate with Maduro is “the conditions of his departure” from office. “We hope the talks in Oslo will focus on that objective, and if they do, we hope progress will be possible,” spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said.

Trump and Abe tee off amid trade tensions By DARLENE SUPERVILLE and JILL COLVIN Associated Press
MOBARA, Japan — Golf never seems to be far behind whenever President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe get together. So on Sunday, during a four-day state visit to Japan, the president jumped aboard Marine One in Tokyo and flew south to the Mobara Country Club for a steamy morning round with the Japanese leader. Abe is Trump’s closest friend among world leaders and it’s the fifth time they played golf together since Trump took office. Abe’s strategy is to keep his country out of Trump’s crosshairs amid U.S.-Japan trade tensions and the continued threat North Korea poses to both nations. Later in the day, Abe will introduce Trump to Japan’s ancient sport of sumo wrestling. The president will sit ringside at a championship match in Tokyo featuring the oversized athletes. He’ll also present the winner with his own “President’s Cup” trophy. A motorcade of golf carts ferried Abe to meet Trump. They exchanged a warm handshake and patted each other on the forearms and posed for a throng of journalists. Abe wore white pants and a dark blue sport coat. Trump wore a red half-

zip pullover with a white shirt and dark pants. Trump tweeted that he was “Going to play golf right now with AbeShinzo. Japan loves the game. Tremendous fans of JackNicklaus, TigerWoods, and PhilMickelson.” All three are famous American golfers. Trump said he asked about South African professional golf Gary Play and “they said we love Gary too!” Abe told reporters as he left for the country club that Sunday’s weather was great for golf and “it seems we are in a good mood for sumo.” Neither leader spoke at the club before they climbed into a golf cart with Abe at
the wheel. Trump ignored a shouted question from a U.S. reporter about whether he believed North Korea had violated U.N. Security Council resolutions. Earlier Trump downplayed North Korea’s recent series of short-range missile tests. He tweeted that the tests weren’t a concern for him — even though they are for Japan. “North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me,” Trump wrote in a message that appeared to contradict his national security adviser, John Bolton, who told reporters Saturday the
tests violated U.N. Security Council resolutions. Trump said he “has confidence” that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “will keep his promise to me. The president also sought to manage expectations that he and Abe will make significant headway on trade issues when they hold formal talks on Monday. Trump has been seeking a bilateral trade agreement with Tokyo since he pulled the U.S. out of the multinational Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement two years ago, though analysts expect no breakthroughs during Trump’s visit.
Fiat Chrysler, Renault in talks about alliance By ALEXANDRA OLSON AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — Carmaker Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and French automaker Renault are in talks about a possible alliance, as both companies seek to address technological and regulatory challenges in the industry. A person with knowledge of the matter confirmed the advanced discussions, first reported by the Financial Times. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the negotiations have not been made public.
In brief
Fiat Chrysler has for months been the subject of merger speculation, with PSA Peugeot also reportedly interested. Collaboration between automakers has taken on importance in recent years as they seek to build their technological capabilities in pursuit of electrical vehicles, net connectivity and artificial intelligence for vehicles. Automakers are also under pressure from regulators, particularly in Europe and China, to come up with electric vehicles so they can meet tougher pollution limits.
Volkswagen and Ford formed a global alliance in January to develop commercial vans and medium-sized pickups and explore cooperation on future batterypowered and autonomous vehicles and services. Renault is already in a three-way global alliance with Nissan and Mitsubishi, a partnership that has been frayed since the arrest of former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn on financial misconduct charges in Japan. Together, the three companies are the biggest maker of passenger cars in the world.
Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley told analysts earlier this month that he expects further consolidation in the industry in the near term, though he has stressed that the company can continue to make it as an independent player. Manley also told analysts that Fiat was taking action to address weaknesses in Europe. North American sales accounted for virtually all of the U.S.-Italian carmaker's profits in the first quarter, a difficult period that saw a 47% drop in profits due largely to production changes.
SAN ANTONIO — The Federal Aviation Administration says it’s investigating a decision to exclude Chick-fil-A from an airport concession contract in San Antonio over opposition to the fast-food chain owners’ record on LGBT issues. The San Antonio Express-News reports the FAA told San Antonio officials Friday it’s investigating complaints the city-owned airport discriminated “against a private company due to the expression of the owner’s religious beliefs.” City Attorney Andy Segovia said his office is reviewing the FAA’s notice. The Atlanta-based restaurant chain has faced opposition elsewhere over donating millions over the years to groups that oppose same-sex marriage. Texas lawmakers this month approved a bill that would prohibit cities from taking “adverse action” against an individual based on contributions to religious organizations. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has signaled he will sign the legislation.
Real estate title firm’s lapse exposes data in 885M files SANTA ANA, Calif. — A security lapse at a major real estate title company exposed the bank account numbers and other sensitive information contained in 885 million files. First American Financial confirmed the problem Friday after it was reported by the blog Krebs On Security . A flaw in an internet application allowed anyone with a web browser to see the confidential data until First American blocked all outside access Friday. It’s unclear if any of the exposed information was scooped up by outsiders with criminal intentions. “We have hired an outside forensic firm to assure us that there has not been any meaningful unauthorized access to our customer data,” First American said in a statement. If the 885 million records were harvested, it would rank among the biggest leaks of data on the internet.
Report: FTC’s political wrangling delays Facebook settlement SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook may have to wait longer before resolving a U.S. government investigation into the company’s mishandling of personal information. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that political wrangling is delaying a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. Facebook could be fined up to $5 billion for various breaches of privacy. The newspaper says FTC Chairman Joseph Simons has the votes he needs from fellow Republicans, but is trying to persuade at least one Democratic commissioner to back the deal as well. The newspaper says the two Democrats consider the deal too lenient. The FTC and Facebook declined comment Friday. The Journal cited unidentified people familiar with the matter. The FTC opened an investigation after revelations that data mining firm Cambridge Analytica had gathered details on Facebook users without permission. — Associated Press

and busy,” he said recently. “I got drafted, and then I didn’t even think about the allotments. The only contact we had back then with the village was mail, and we didn’t apply.” After he and others came home, they began advocating for a special application window for veterans. But it wasn’t until the mid-1990s that the issue got traction in Congress, after the Alaska Federation of Natives took up the issue, Angapak said. He’d risen through the ranks at the organization. He and fellow veterans began making regular pilgrimages to Washington, D.C., to testify on allotment bills

Kozloski did not wear a hard hat, but at the time also had not been involved in crane operations. The crane operator jumped from the crane as it rolled over and was not injured. The operator and a rigger wore hard hats. The report’s author, Capt. Travis Rasmussen, U.S. Coast Guard Base Honolulu, called the unsafe operation of a Shuttlelift crane “the last link in an error chain of consistent and long-standing leadership deficiencies and complacency with shore side heavy lift operations.”
submitted by the Alaska delegation. “This has been very much a team effort, an AFN team effort,” Angapak said. It paid off in 1998, when Congress opened an 18-month application slot. It applied only to veterans in active duty between 1969 and 1971, a period of especially high service for Natives. Angapak received his allotment after the 1998 law passed. It’s near the village of Tuntutuliak where he was raised, not far from the land his father received around 1971. It connects him with generations to come. “This is ours,” he said. Many Alaska Natives weren’t so fortunate, like Bill Thomas, the former state lawmaker from Haines.
Thomas returned to Alaska from the war in 1968. A 21-year-old then, he thought only elders could apply. “We came home and we self-medicated (with alcohol), we called it, for a while,” said Thomas, 72, and also an advocate for the allotments. “We didn’t think about filing for a Native allotment back then.” About 250 veterans received allotments after the 1998 law passed, the Bureau of Land Management said. The problems included the short application period and the need to prove occupancy of the land, Angapak said. Realizing the provision’s shortcomings, Angapak made his promise to Stevens, who later died in 2010. “I told him as long as I
have a little bit of breath, I’ll keep working on it,” Angapak said. “I told him we’ll accept ‘69 to ‘71. And we’ll keep working on ‘64 to ‘71.” Angapak retired from AFN in 2013, a senior vice president. But with AFN’s support, he joined other veterans in continuing to trek to D.C. The efforts paid off in March, when the lands bill sponsored by Sen. Lisa Murkowski passed. It included a version of a bill from Sullivan creating a new application round for those in the military from Aug. 5, 1964 — after President Lyndon B. Johnson sought congressional approval for direct involvement in Vietnam — to the end of 1971. (Huge public lands bill signed into law will allow Alaska Native veterans to
claim long-promised land, among other provisions) Sullivan last month recognized Angapak’s decades of “tireless” advocacy, presenting him with a signed copy of the land legislation and a pen used by President Donald Trump to sign it. “He’s been one of our great Alaska Native leaders,” Sullivan said. The application period this time will be five years. The BLM must finalize the rules and begin accepting applications by September 2020. Some federal lands will be off limits, including national forests and parks, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. But veterans won’t need to prove occupancy of the land. That will provide new
opportunities for some, including Thomas. But there aren’t expected to be many allotments available in Southeast, if any. The region is largely national forests. Thomas will likely have to select a tract somewhere else in Alaska, he said. “A lot of people around here aren’t happy about that,” he said. Conservation groups criticized this new round of allotments in a letter to Congress, saying it would privatize hundreds of thousands of acres for an issue that was addressed in 1998. Angapak said he disagrees with the groups. But he supports their speaking out. Freedom of speech is one of the liberties he and other veterans helped protect, he said.
“Command positions overseeing Coast Guard units, such as the Cutter Hickory, are among the most important and challenging assignments in our service,” Bell said in a press release on Tuesday. “Commanding officers are entrusted with tremendous authority and responsibility to ensure operational success, good order and discipline, and crew safety.” Coast Guard officials met with Kozloski’s widow in Homer on Tuesday morning to notify her of the report, said Lt. Brian Dykens, a Coast Guard public information officer for the 17th district. Officials also met with the Hickory crew on Tuesday
to brief them on the report. After the incident, the Hickory crew member who operated the crane had his blood and urine tested. According to the report, those tests found tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, in his urine. That’s the active ingredient in cannabis. A hair analysis also was done in late February. That test result showed the crew member regularly used marijuana. While the report called the crane operator’s regular cannabis use concerning, Rasmussen wrote that he could not find sufficient evidence to show “immediate or residual effects of marijuana use were adversely affecting the (crane) Operator at the time of the incident
and substantially contributed to the mishap.” However, under the Coast Guard’s zero tolerance policy of the use of federally controlled drugs, the crane operator will be discharged from the Coast Guard, Dykens said. While cannabis is legal to grow, sell and possess in Alaska, it remains a federally controlled drug. “Wrongful use of controlled substances is unlawful and contradicts core values of honor and respect and devotion to duty,” Dykens said. The 25-page report came about following a Major Incident Investigation done by Rasmussen and three other board members, all Coast Guard officials. The investigation started Feb. 1, with the report finished on April 19 and publicly released on May 21. According to the report, these factors contributed to the fatal incident: • Senior enlisted and officer leadership permitted the use of the Shuttlelift crane by nonqualified operators; • A difference in perceived risk of cutter operations versus shore side operations, with less emphasis placed on training and qualifications that would lead to safe shore based operations; • Leadership complacency and a lack of oversight and monitoring of shore side heavy lift operations. “The error chain as-
sociated with this mishap is extensive and indicates how far reaching the leadership deficiencies and complacency had become at the unit,” Rasmussen wrote. “… In my opinion, it was not a question of if a mishap would occur but when.” The Hickory had been moored in Homer since Christmas 2018, and on Jan. 31 preparations were underway for a planned cruise on Feb. 1. Because of rain and snowmelt, the ground had been soft in the buoy yard. Some crew members had been under pressure to clean up the buoy yard, the report said. The crane operator did not extend or press down outriggers on the crane, extendable legs that would give the crane more stability. Citing Occupational and Safety Hazard Administration guidelines, the report said “that cranes must be assembled on ground that is firm, drained and graded sufficiently.” The Shuttlelift’s load rating and range diagram showed that using outriggers makes a significant difference in lifting capacity. The load being lifted, buoy bells on a pallet, also had not been balanced. While operating the crane and moving the pallet, the crane operator told investigators he thought he saw Kozloski make a pointing hand motion and interpreted that to mean placing the load in a different location. Rasmussen said he didn’t find evidence that Kozloski directed the crane operator at the time of the mishap, and
that Kozloski most likely waved his hand as part of a conversation with another crew member. “Risk assessment of increased awareness of the crane-operating envelope by personnel within the buoy yard may have avoided the tragic outcome of this mishap,” Rasmussen wrote. The crane rolled because of operation errors by the crane operator, the report concluded. The operator tried to lift a load that exceeded the parameters of the crane. The operator may have lowered the boom to set the load down further away as a result of the perceived hand motion by Kozloski. The crane tipped over because “the increased operation radius exceeded the stability limit for the ML (mishap load),” Rasmussen wrote. The load capacity would have been four times greater if outriggers had been properly deployed, he wrote. The Major Incident Investigation report will be formally reviewed and approved at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington, D.C. A Mishap Analysis Board also is doing a safety analysis of the crane rollover, Dykens said. Those board actions and reports will be used to improve Coast Guard safety procedures. “Both of those together will help put together a report of how the Coast Guard can make corrective actions,” Dykens said.

The Kenai Central girls won the Division II state track title Saturday at Palmer High School. “We finished first at regions, and we knew after we finished first we had a good chance at today,” Kenai coach Jesse Settlemyer said. “The girls knew they could come out on top and, all credit to them, they really excelled and achieved something great.” Kenai finished with 110 points to the 95 of runner-up Grace. Homer was fourth, Nikiski was sixth and Seward was ninth. For Division II boys, Kenai was sixth, Seward was 11th, Nikiski was 15th and Homer was 18th.
At the Division I level, Soldotna picked up a pair of fifths. The Stars boys tied for fifth with East Anchorage at 42 points, while Chugiak took the team title at 123. SoHi’s girls also scored 42 points, with South winning at 88. Relays played a huge role in Kenai’s victory. The 400- and 800-meter relays both took gold. The 400 was made up of Savanna Wilson, Kylie-Anne Raye, Chelsea Plagge and Haylew Maw, while Brooke Ashley replaced Wilson in the 800. Kenai also finished second in the 3,200 relay and fourth in the 1,600 relay. “We love relays because they are the ultimate team race,” Settlemyer said. “We had great camaraderie and great handoffs and
it was huge to win those relays.” Jaycie Calvert also had a huge meet, winning the 3,200 and 1,600 and taking third in the 800. “She’s the ultimate KCHS athlete,” Settlemyer said. “She shows all the values of a KCHS athlete — teamwork, holding yourself accountable and how you conduct yourself. Her two state titles in her last day wearing the jersey are pretty neat.” Wilson added a state title in the 100 hurdles, while Maw was third in the 100 and fourth in the 200. Chelsea Plagge continued her emergence by winning the triple jump and taking second in the long jump. “She was also in the 4 by 1 and 4 by 2 and was a huge part of the See TRACK, page B2
Season closes Homer, Kenai, SoHi baseball miss state Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The Homer, Kenai Central and Soldotna baseball teams came up short of a state berth at the Southcentral Conference tournament Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Redington and Houston high schools. While Kenai and Soldotna were eliminated from contention for a state berth Friday, Homer was not eliminated until Saturday morning in a 5-3 loss to Grace Christian at Redington. Grace would go on to defeat Colony 5-3 to earn the conference second state berth after Wasilla had won the conference title Friday night. The Mariners had plenty of opportunities in the game, but left 14 on base. Homer walked 11 times, but only Colby Marion, Johnny Rummery, Gabe Dash and Hunter Warren had hits. “We didn’t have the offensive production we did yesterday,” Homer head coach Rich Sonnen said. “We got guys on with walks, used sac bunts to get them over, and tried to get them in.” Austin Ceccarelli went all seven innings, allowing five runs — three earned — on nine hits while walking two and striking out one. Homer loses Seth Adkins, Austin Dash and Hunter Warren to graduation. Sonnen said this was a building year, and Homer got further than he expected in the tournament, so the future is bright. Of the five pitchers Homer used for the tournament, just one graduates. Homer 12, Palmer 7 See BASE, page B2

Kenai boys defend state soccer title By MEGAN PACER Homer News
The dark sky and pouring rain at Service High School made a fitting backdrop for a championship soccer game riddled with drama and high stakes as the Kenai Kardinals and JuneauDouglas Bears battled it out to see who would be best in the state this year — turns out, it was Kenai. The Kardinals defended their championship title from last year in the Division II state soccer tournament Saturday by beating Juneau 3-2 in a fast-paced match that went through two, 10-minute overtimes and into sudden-death overtime. Both teams were tied at 0-0 by halftime, and were
tied up at 1-1 by the end of regulation play. Juneau’s first goal, and the first goal of the game, was netted by Philemon Yorkes about midway into the second half. By the time the game was wearing down to the last few minutes, Kenai goalkeeper Braedon Pitsch wanted to win so badly that he came out of the net, ran down the field and jumped in to help his teammates, all against the advice of his coaches. “I’ll give a trade secret here,” head coach Shane Lopez joked after the game. “Braedon ignored us. We told him to stay, and he had his own plan in mind. And there’s going to be no living with him now.” “I just wanted to win so bad,” Pitsch said after the
game. “So I just went up there and took a chance.” The risky move paid off when Pitsch netted the first goal for Kenai and tied up the score with a header in the last minute of regulation play. Of the moment, Pitsch said he was “so in shock.” “I don’t really remember how I did it, I just remember it going in,” he said. Sophomore forward Leif Lofquist tilted the game in Kenai’s favor when, less than a minute into the first half of overtime, he netted another goal for the Kardinals and brought the score to 2-1. Not to let things slip away easily, Juneau answered just one minute later with a goal of its own from Kannon Goetz, tying up the score See BOYS, page B4

The Homer softball team won a third straight Northern Lights Conference title in convincing fashion Saturday at the Soldotna Little League fields. The Mariners topped Kodiak 12-3 in six innings in a game that was moved to Soldotna after Steve Shearer Memorial Ball Park in Kenai was swamped with rain earlier in the day. Homer also had dominant 11-3 win over Soldotna and 12-0 win over Kodiak earlier in the tournament, meaning the Mariners are clicking as
they head to state for the 19th time in 20 seasons. Homer had come into the tournament as the No. 2 seed after losing to top-seeded Kodiak twice in conference during the regular season. “I think this is how they’ll play at state,” coach Bill Bell said. “They’re pretty much running themselves at the moment. We just wind them up and let them go. “They’re good at communicating with each other when something is wrong.” Grace Godfrey hit .700 in the tournament and had a grand slam in the top of the sixth inning in the championship. Bell said Haylee Owen,
Hannah Hatfield and Kaylin Anderson also were above .600 in the tournament. Annalynn Brown pitched all six innings for the win. She allowed three runs — two earned — and eight hits while striking out two and walking one. On offense, Godfrey was 3 for 3 with five RBIs, Brown had two RBIs, Anderson had two runs, Owen was 2 for 2 with three runs, Hatfield was 2 for 3 with two runs and three RBIs, and Becca Chapman was 2 for 3 with two runs. Earlier Saturday, Kodiak had defeated Soldotna to See NLC, page B3

win this weekend,” Settlemyer said. The Kenai boys received state titles from Maison Dunham in the 800 and Jarett Wilson in the 110 hurdles. Wilson also was third in the 300 hurdles. Andrew Carver also had a third in the discus. Dunham had to better his personal record by three seconds to win, while Carver got proficient at the discus quickly after an injury forced him off the baseball team. Nikiski was led by a second in the discus from Kaitlyn Johnson, a second in the 800 girls relay and a third by Bethany Carstens in the shot put. The Homer girls had three state titles — from the 3,200 relay, Anna Brock in the shot put and Laura Inama in the 300 hurdles. Also for the Mariners, the 1,600 relay was second, Brooke Miller was second in the 800 and Autumn Daigle was third in the 1,600. Soldotna finished a solid track season with four runner-up performances at the meet. Also of note, the 1995 100 record of SoHi’s Joel Knight was broken by East’s Colton Herman in Friday’s preliminaries with his time of 10.86. Finishing second for Soldotna were Aliann Schmidt in the high jump, Ituau Tuisaula in the shot put, Kaleb Swank in the high jump and Galen Brantley III in the shot put. The boys 400 relay also nailed a third-place finish. ASAA State Track and Field Championships Friday, Saturday at Palmer Division I GIRLS Team scores: 1. South, 88; 2. Dimond, 60; 3. Chugiak, 56; 4.

Homer defeated the defending conference champion with a total team effort on offense in a secondplace quarterfinal on Friday. “It was unbelievable for us at the plate today,” Sonnen said. “We had five triples.” Harrison Metz had two of those triples, including one on the first pitch of the game. Adkins, Karl Wickstrom and Warren added three-baggers. Metz went 3 for 5 while Adkins was 2 for 5, Wickstrom and Warren were 2 for 4, and Austin Dash, Mose Hayes and Ceccarelli added singles. Adkins got the job done on the mound, pitching a complete game and giving up seven runs — six earned — on nine hits while walking three and striking out six. “We had some key defensive plays at the right moments to help

us out,” Sonnen said. Homer 9, Soldotna 3 The Mariners eliminated the Stars from the tournament in a bittersweet moment for both sides in the second-place bracket Friday. The two programs have close ties because both schools send players to the American Legion Twins program, and Soldotna head coach Robb Quelland is the head coach of the Twins, as well. “There was mixed feelings for both sides,” Quelland said. “We have friends over on that side and we’re teammates for two months in the summer. We love competing against them, and we prefer to beat them. “But as a coach, it’s nice to see the growth they’ve made in a short period of time and how well they’ve thrown this season.” Homer’s Metz plays for the Twins and had a huge game Friday.

Other Homer players who have played for the Twins are Ceccarelli (3 for 5, two runs), Adkins (two RBIs) and Hayes (two runs). Also for the Mariners, Dash and Coda Wood each had two RBIs. Sonnen again said the key was getting offense from througout the lineup. “We just didn’t hit well and made a couple of errors,” Quelland said. “It was nothing serious, but they’re a solid team.” Tanner Ussing got the start and went five innings for the Stars, giving up four runs on five hits while walking five and striking out two. Atticus Gibson gave up four runs — three earned — on four hits in one-third of an inning, Chris Jaime gave up a hit and unearned run without recording an out, and Josh Pieh did not give up a hit or run in 1 2-3 innings.

Homer 11, Soldotna 3, 5 innings The No. 2 seed Mariners gave the No. 3 Stars no room for error in a firstround game Friday. “Everything felt good,” Homer coach Bill Bell said. “There were no glaring errors. The bottom of the lineup hit nicely. They were firing on all cylinders.” Knoebel said the Stars did not play well enough to beat a quality team like Homer. “We were sloppy defensively and didn’t make some plays,” Knoebel said. Annalynn Brown pitched all five for Homer, giving up three earned runs on 10 hits while walking three and striking out three.

Knoebel gave credit to Brown for a great game, but added that Earll had her best game of the season, allowing just six free bases. On offense for Homer, Grace Godfrey was 2 for 3 with three runs, Brianna Hetrick was 2 for 3 with three RBIs, Brown had two RBIs, Kaylin Anderson had two RBIs, Zoe Adkins had two hits and two runs, and Hannah Hatfield was 3 for 3 with two runs. For SoHi, McDonald stroked a two-run double to right. McDonald finished 2 for 2. Also for the Stars, Bailey Berger was 3 for 3 and Estrella Slats was 2 for 2. Bailey Smith, Slats and Lillian Gomez had the runs. Kodiak defeats Kenai The top-seeded Bears invoked the mercy rule on Kenai in a Friday first-round game to make their way to the semifinal. “We were having trouble with their pitcher because she has more speed than we are used to,” Manley said. “In the fourth inning,
it was 12-0, and we had two outs, and all of a sudden we started hitting the ball and scored seven runs with two outs.” Kodiak took control after that. Kaidence Harvey, Andie Galloway, Zaharah Wilshusen and Neirad Phillips all had key hits during the rally for Kenai. Kaylee Lauritsen pitched for Kenai and Manley said she did pretty good, but that Kodiak hits well. Manley mentioned Wilshusen was able to turn a double play from short.
Lauritsen is the pitcher that was able to hold down the Hawks in the seventh. Manley said Kaidence Harvey had a nice play at second in the inning, while catcher Kylan Lakshas had a key throw to second in the fifth inning that also thwarted the Hawks, and Lexi Reis fielded her position well at first base. The coach said Wilshusen, Phillips and Nani Ropoza led the offense. For Houston, center fielder and pitcher Mackenzie Moore had a huge game finishing 4 for 5 with four RBIs and four runs.

Raptors top Bucks, reach 1st NBA Finals TORONTO (AP) — Kyle Lowry stole the ball and pushed it ahead, then waited for Kawhi Leonard to arrive before feeding his All-Star teammate for a thunderous one-handed slam over Giannis Antetokounmpo . “The building exploded after that dunk,” Leonard said. It sure did. Now imagine how it
will sound when the NBA Finals come to Toronto for the first time next week. Leonard had 27 points and 17 rebounds to lead the Raptors into the finals for the first time with a 100-94 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night. His big dunk with 6:46 to go in the fourth quarter was the final basket
in a game-changing 26-3 run that began late in the third. “It was kind of a momentum capper,” Lowry said. “We were on a run, and why not feed the big dog? Let the big dog eat.” The Raptors overcame a 15-point deficit to win the series in six games and will host the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the
NBA Finals on Thursday night. It will be the two-time defending champions against a Raptors team that will finally bring the NBA Finals outside the U.S. after entering the league in 1995. “They’re one of the greatest teams in history,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said of the Warriors. “It will be a tall task, but we’ll try
to figure it out.” Pascal Siakam scored 18 points, Lowry had 17 and Fred VanVleet 14 for the Raptors. Lowry held the game ball and picked up his children after the game, finally getting to the championship round after the Raptors kept falling short against Cleveland.

Allie Ostrander, a 2015 graduate of Kenai Central, qualified for the national championship in the 3,000-meter steeplechase Friday at the NCAA West Preliminary Round in Sacramento, California. Saturday, she also qualified for 5,000, meaning she will attempt a steeplechase5K double for the third straight season. The redshirt junior at Boise State won the second heat of the national quarterfinal in the steeplechase to automatically qualify to defend her steeple crowns of 2017 and 2018. In the first heat, BYU’s Erica Birk put up a nationleading time, but Ostrander regained the nation-leading time by running 9 minutes, 40.05 seconds. “It was great to get
through the first round and advance nationals,” Ostrander said in a statement released by Boise State. “Advancing through these races always brings out great performances.

once more at 2-2. That’s where it stayed at the end of both 10-minute halves of overtime, so the teams were given two more halves of just five minutes. In suddendeath fashion, the first team to score would win. Lofquist came through with the goal to clinch the game with about 15 seconds left in the first five-minute half. “It feels great,” Lofquist said of the win. “Especially because last year we had a ton of seniors, and that’s what, like, helped our team. So to lose all them and have the same outcome’s pretty cool.” “It’s everything,” Lopez said of the victory. “It was amazing, the battle that these guys have put in. I could not be more honored, could not be more proud to be a part of this team and to be here for this moment.”
Homer head coach Warren Waldorf explained. Homer missed its third shot, and Monroe made theirs, so the score went to 3-2. Then, Monroe’s fourth shooter missed and Homer’s fourth shooter made the shot, tying the game back up again at 3-3. Homer goalkeeper Clayton Beachy made a save on Monroe’s fifth shot. He then stepped up to the ball and made the fifth shot for Homer himself, which went in and gave the Mariners their victory. Beachy was named player of the match. Waldorf said he’s proud of how the team did overall this season. “We did the best that we could with what we had, and we went as far as we could with the numbers that we had this year,” he said.

Kenai head coach Shane Lopez said it’s nice to be back in the championship game this year. “It’s always an honor to be in the championship game,” he said. “And a privilege for these guys that not a lot of people get to experience, and it’s one that we’re going to enjoy.” In addition to Lofquist, Lopez praised his midfielders, defenders and goalkeeper Braedon Pitsch, who made a number of solid saves.
Homer 2, Grace Christian 1 In other peninsula team action, Homer rose above the Grace Christian Grizzlies 2-1 on the Eagle River High School field on Friday. Eyoab Knapp netted both of Homer’s goals — one in the first half and another in the second. Grace Christian’s Luke Schaezlein scored his team’s lone goal about five minutes into the start of the game,
putting Homer at a disadvantage right off the bat. Knapp was named player of the match for Homer, while Paul Kopp was player of the match for Grace Christian. “It was a little more challenging today,” head coach Warren Waldorf said of the match. “Because we didn’t have Ethan (Pitzman) today either.” Top goal scorer Daniel Reutov has been unable to play for the Mariners in the state tournament
after being hurt in the Peninsula Conference Championships last weekend. Pitzman rolled his ankle in Thursday’s state tournament game, and Waldorf felt it safer to keep him off it on Friday. Pitzman was named Thursday’s player of the game for Homer. “We dug ourselves out,” Waldorf said of the Friday game. Reach Megan Pacer at mpacer@homernews.com.

Homer 3, North Pole 2 With a 3-2 win over North Pole on Saturday, the Lady Mariners claimed fourth overall at the state tournament. Kappa Reutov scored two of Homer’s goals while Rylee Doughty contributed one. Head coach Mike Tozzo said the team’s goal entering the tournament was to make it to the championship game, but that their performance in the Thursday game wasn’t what it needed to be.
“I was glad that we were able to bounce back,” he said of their wins against Palmer and North Pole. The team worked hard to get here all season, Tozzo said, and he anticipates them improving a little each year. The program is being supported particularly well right now by large groups of freshmen joining every year, he said. Thunder Mountain 3, Kenai 1 The Lady Kardinals landed at fifth place in the state tournament overall with a 3-1 loss to Thunder Mountain on Saturday. Alyssa Bucho scored Kenai’s lone goal on a crossed assist from Bethany Morris in the second half of the game. Head coach Dan Verkuilen said Kenai had hoped to do better than fifth overall but that he’s really proud of how the girls played throughout the weekend. Thursday’s game went into overtime and ended with a win. By Saturday’s game against Thunder Mountain, Verkuilen said the team was missing a senior who had been injured.

After making it further than they ever have before, the Soldotna girls soccer team finished second at the Division II state soccer championships in a 5-1 loss to Juneau on Saturday. The Juneau-Douglas Bears came out strong on Saturday, scoring two goals within in the first 23 minutes of the game. Rhys Cannava made SoHi’s lone goal with about a minute left in the first half. When players returned to the field for the second half, the Stars couldn’t keep Juneau’s offense out, and the Bears netted three more goals. Eva Goering scored the first goal for Juneau, followed by Blake Plummer. In the second half, Malia Miller netted the fourth and sixth goals, while Plummer again got the fifth. Soldotna head coach Jimmy Love said it just wasn’t their game on Saturday. “They’re a good team,” he said of Juneau. “It was the three balls (in the second half), you know? We were just not playing it right, and it is what it is.”
“At the end of the day, you know what, we played hard and we just came up short,” he continued. Love has a relatively young team, with three or four freshman starters. This gives him high hopes for making it to state championships in the future. “We’re losing a good groups of seniors but I expect this team to be back in a similar boat next year,” he said. “Overall, it took us a while to get started, but once we got the ball rolling we ended the season as we should, and that was hitting on all cylinders.” SATURDAY GAMES
“(We were) just a little beat up,” he said. “So they fought hard and they enjoyed the game.” FRIDAY GAMES Soldotna 3, Thunder Mountain 1 The Stars prevailed 3-1 over Thunder Mountain in Friday’s semifinal match, propelling them to the final game on Saturday, in which they will face off against Juneau-Douglas at 2 p.m. at Service High School. No matter what, the Stars will have the best finish in school history. Before soccer was broken into divisions, SoHi finished third at state in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Last season, the Stars were third at Division II state. “I expected a tight game,” Love said after the Friday game. “The two previous games were fairly close. … I don’t think we came out and played the way I expected us to play.” Love said he thought the players let Thunder Mountain’s goal, the first of the game, get to them more than they usually do. “It took us a while to kind of get that momentum back,” he said. Scoring for Soldotna were Faith Glassmaker, Meijan Leaf and Rhys Cannava.

Verkuilen said he thought the girls played well considering they don’t have much experience against Juneau. “We changed our formation today,” he said. “… We took away one forward and we put in an extra defender so we kind of got on No. 11 and did a good job of kind of shutting her down.” Homer Mariners 4, Palmer 0
first two goals for the Mariners, while Debbie Weisser and Sienna Carey netted one each in the second half. “We came out a little bit more aggressive (than in the Thursday game),” Tozzo said. “Not even a little bit — a lot more aggressive.” He said the team had more energy and better communication on Friday against Palmer. “We’d been struggling with scoring,” he said of the team’s last few games. “And part of that was playing underneath the defense instead of over the top of them. In the past we were trying to, like, make our forwards do all the work and play below the defense. And (today) we did a good job of getting the ball out in front of them and letting them run.”
After falling 1-0 to Thunder Mountain on Thursday, the Mariners faced off against the Palmer Moose on Friday and came out victorious. The Lady Mariners had a shutout against the Moose to win 4-0. Reach Megan Pacer at Kappa Reutov scored the mpacer@homernews.com.

Sorting out recycling programs: Which ones work best?
Respect the soil in your garden: Don’t add plastic to it Before it’s too late, I must address one of my pet peeves: deliberately putting plastic in soil. Take, for instance, black plastic sheeting sold as mulch. This stuff appears at first to be a cure-all for weed problems. Lay it on the ground, cut holes only where you will set plants, and weeds will die from lack of light, presumably ending all your weed problems for years to come. But other problems arise. An impermeable sheet of plastic over the ground can leave plant roots and soil microorganisms gasping for air. Roots set in the openings might develop even greater breathing problems when all the water falling on the plastic floods those holes. And the plastic eventually starts to tear and break apart, which creates a general mess.
GEOTEXTILES? Geotextiles, introduced more recently, are offered as an alternative to solid black plastic sheeting. These are woven or spun plastic fabrics that resist tearing and have many small holes to allow passage of air and water. Both black plastic and geotextiles are widely used by farmers, gardeners and landscapers. If you don’t like the way these synthetic mulches look — surely the case when they are used in landscaping — you cover them. Wood chips look natural and are widely used for this purpose. And anyway, geotextiles need a thin cover of something to shade out the minimal light that makes its way through the tiny holes. But problems arise again. Over time, plenty of weeds eventually sneak in to grow in the wood chips covering the plastic. Over time, the chips or other coverings also slide around to expose the plastic or geotextile beneath — not a pretty sight! Furthermore, even if black plastic or geotextiles don’t do their jobs forever, they’ll be in the soil that long, or almost. Try to make over the landscape in the future and you will be wrestling with and cutting geotextiles or collecting scraps of black plastic.
PLASTIC PEANUTS, NO Another, fortunately less frequently suggested use of plastic in the soil is plastic “peanuts.” Mixed into the soil, the reasoning goes, they should increase aeration. While they would undoubtedly make a soil lighter, and thus seemingly better aerated, all that extra air is pretty much locked up in the peanuts. It has also been suggested that a layer of plastic peanuts be put in the bottoms of flowerpots to enhance drainage, as layers of gravel have been used. In this case, that layer of peanuts is worse than useless, just as the traditional layer of gravel was. The effect in both cases is to create a “perched” water table inside the pot, giving the roots less depth of well-aerated soil. Also, spent potting soil can be spread on the ground or added to a compost pile, but do you want the peanuts there also?
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES Enough plastic makes its way into our soils inadvertently, from misplaced plant tags to those stickers now ubiquitous on fruit skins to pieces of old plastic pots. Deliberately embedding a permanent, synthetic blanket in the ground or mixing plastic peanuts into the soil brings no benefits that could not be had in a more naturefriendly way. Paper mulch, for instance, biodegrades and can stave off weeds for a season. Perlite or vermiculite are two minerals that can lighten a soil more effectively than styrofoam peanuts. Removing plastic put on or in the soil becomes difficult or well-nigh impossible. Deliberately putting plastic in the ground is disrespectful of the skin — that is, soil — that covers our planet and sustains much of the life here.

Changing markets and confusion over what can be thrown in recycling bins has forced some communities to rethink or even suspend their recycling programs. But many more recycling programs are working well, experts say. The difference is partly based on which methods are being used for collection and processing. Are you sorting paper from plastic at the start, for instance, or tossing it all in one bin? Are you certain the items going into the bin are the ones your recycler can accept? How up to date is the processing facility in your area? “Some programs are hurting and need to adjust, particularly in the residential stream. But the majority of programs are working successfully and continuing to grow,” says Robin Wiener, president of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries. The non-profit trade association represents more than 1,300 companies that make, process, sell or consume scrap commodities, including metals, paper, electronics, plastics, glass and textiles. Success or failure seems partly linked to whether recyclables are going into one mixed curbside bin for pickup (single-stream recycling) or is divided by residents into separate bins (multistream recycling). Single-stream was adopted by many communities and companies because it costs less to haul. But creating one big pool of recyclables creates more difficulty later, when they must be sorted out. In addition, experts say people tend to be sloppier about what they put in a single, combined
bin. That produces a lower grade end product. Multi-stream tends to produce a less-contaminated, thus more valuable, end product. For the past two decades, it hasn’t mattered so much because China and a few other countries were buying large quantities of low-grade, singlestream recyclables, which cost them less and could be sorted out using inexpensive labor there. All that changed in January 2018, when China stopped accepting lower-grade recyclables. That left many communities in the U.S. without a market for the low-grade, mixed recyclables they were producing. “A total of $5.6 billion of scrap a year was going to China before the policy change,” says Wiener. In 2018, that number dropped precipitously to $3.5 billion, with most of the loss in low-grade materials. It takes time to find another home for that volume of materials, she says. In some cases, says Dylan de Thomas of The Recycling Partnership, an industry-sponsored nonprofit dedicated to transforming the recycling system in the United States, the problem is a combination of contamination and macroeconomics. “In March of 2017, mixed paper was trading at almost $90 a ton. Now it’s worth roughly zero. Almost all the recycled paper on the West Coast was going to China,” he says. Despite the challenges of finding new markets, he says his organization has identified only 31 programs across the country that have suspended their recycling programs. Its data base includes 2,000 of the estimated 10,000 recycling programs across the

country, he says. Sorting recyclables at the front end turns out to make more sense for many communities, and the market for higher grade, pre-sorted recyclables — both domestically and with big international players like China — remains strong, experts say. Areas where singlestream recycling continues to thrive tend to be those with a series of good practices to help ensure a less contaminated recycling stream. They also tend to be areas with access to advanced sorting and processing technologies, Wiener says. Of course, tweaking a recycling program is easier said than done. Some cities and towns have had to limit the types of recycled material they accept and accept cost increases. A lot depends on educating the public, says Mitch Hedlund, executive director of Recycle Across America, a nonprofit that pushes for clear, standardized labels on recycling bins. “There are certain materials that manufacturers want to reuse, but the public is confused about what is recyclable and which bin it should go in, so there’s too much garbage ending up in recycling bins,” she says.
Standardized labels, like those developed by Recycle Across America, are an important tool to help improve recycling, Wiener says. But Heidi Herzberg, mayor of Deltona, Florida, which suspended its recycling program because it had become too expensive and ineffective, says it’s more complicated than that. While part of the problem was that almost 40 percent of what people were putting in bins shouldn’t have been there — like Christmas lights and greasy pizza boxes — there also turned out to be no market in her area for glass or certain types of plastics, she said. “They say ‘reduce, reuse, recycle,’ but people have been skipping straight to recycling in order to feel better,” she said. Her community was facing a $25,000 a month increase, she said, and much of the collected material was ending up in landfills anyway. “It’s a reality check, and it’s very emotional.” E nv i r o n m e n t a l i s t s agree that producing less waste in the first place is preferable to even the best recycling programs. “We need to figure out how to reduce and reuse, not just how to recycle,” said Herzberg.
Essentials for creating your own DIY spa bathroom Relaxing at a spa each week may be a luxury reserved for celebrities and socialites. For many people, a day spa is a treat enjoyed on special occasions or while on vacation. However, home bathrooms can be designed to provide the same types of amenities offered at day spas right in the comfort of one’s home. The American Psychological Association says that money, work and the future of the country are particularly strong stressors today. Eighty percent of workers feel stress on the job and learning how to manage stress is a top concern, according to the American In-
stitute of Stress. Creating a Zen-like retreat at home can help alleviate stress and improve health. Homeowners whose renovation plans include turning a bathroom into a spa oasis will need to choose which features they desire most. These suggestions can spur on more ideas to create the ideal retreat. • Soaker bathtub: There’s something to be said about a luxurious soak in a tub. Tubs come in different sizes and shapes, like the highly recognizable clawfoot tub and other freestanding units. These types of tubs, as well as corner tubs, can offer deep-seated luxury by way
of a relaxing and restorative soak. Pair with scented bath bombs or salts for a true spa experience. • Steam shower: Steam showers are self-enclosed units that feature generators that deliver steam through steam heads. The steam fills
the space and can help a person unwind before a refreshing shower or bath. According to the retailer Modern Bathroom®, modern steam showers come with digital controls, which makes it easy for users to activate the shower, adjust the length of
time that the shower will operate and adjust temperature controls. Extra features like music, mood lighting and aromatherapy can be included as well. • Heated floors: Heated floors provide the utmost in comfort when stepping out of the bath or shower. They can warm the room and make using the space more comfortable in cold weather. • Vessel sinks: A vessel sink typically features a bowl or basin that looks like it was placed on top of the vanity. Vessel sinks can elevate the ambiance in spa bathrooms. • Plush towels and robes: In addition to fixtures and
other functional components of the bath, linens are key. Soft-spun Egyptian or Turkish cotton towels and robes are a must-have luxury for the full spa experience. • Comfortable seat: A bench or chair nestled by a bathroom window is the perfect spot for pedicures or catching up on some light reading. • Natural light: Skylights or privacy-ensuring windows are a must to create a relaxing space close to nature. A spa bathroom at home is within reach. With a few touches, any bathroom can be transformed into a luxurious oasis.

Young homebuyers scramble as prices rise faster than incomes By JOSH BOAK and LARRY FENN Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — For millennials looking to buy their first home, the hunt feels like a race against the clock. In the seven years since the housing crash ended, home values in more than three-quarters of U.S. metro areas have climbed faster than incomes, according to an Associated Press analysis of real estate industry data provided by CoreLogic. That gap is driving some first-timers out of the most expensive cities as well as pressuring them to buy something before they are completely priced out of the market. The high cost of home ownership is also putting extreme pressure on 20and 30-somethings as they try to balance mortgage payments, student loans, child care and their careers. “They do want all the same things that previous generations want,” said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist for the brokerage Redfin. “They just have more roadblocks, and they’re going to have to come up with more creative solutions to get the homes that they want.” A Redfin analysis found these buyers are leaving too-hot-to-touch big-city markets — among them, San Francisco and Seattle, where the tech boom has sent housing prices into the stratosphere. Many millennials are instead buying in more reasonably priced neighborhoods around places like Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City and Ra-
leigh, North Carolina. That, in turn, is driving up housing prices in those communities. Jake and Heather Rice, both 35, moved to Utah last year from Mountain View, California, where the biggest employers are tech giants such as Google, Symantec and Intuit and the median home price is a dizzying $1.4 million or so. The couple and their three children settled into a 4,500-square-foot house in fast-growing Farmington, just far enough away from Salt Lake City to feel rural but minutes from a major shopping center and Heather’s sister. Their monthly mortgage cost of $3,000 is roughly the same as the rent for their former two-bedroom apartment in Mountain View. “We didn’t expect to stay in California because of how ludicrous the prices had become,” said Jake, a mechanical engineer who works in the medical device sector. Nationally, home prices since 2000 have climbed at an annual average rate of 4%, according to the data firm CoreLogic, while average incomes have grown at an annual rate of 2.6%. And in the metro areas with the strongest income growth — for example, parts of Silicon Valley — home prices have risen even faster. The Salt Lake City area is among the hottest spots for first-time buyers in part because of a staggering burst of home construction and a surge of high-tech jobs. The suburb of Lehi, which served as a film location for the 1984 Kevin Bacon movie “Footloose,”
about a rural town that banned dancing, is in what is now known as “Silicon Slopes” because Adobe, eBay and Microsoft have opened offices there. Of course, the influx of people from unaffordable cities is contributing to the very problem they were trying to escape: Home prices in the greater Salt Lake City area surged 10.8% in the past year, while average incomes rose only 3.9%, according to figures from CoreLogic and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Scott Robbins, president of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors, sees the price growth as having changed the habits of first-time buyers. They are putting less money down and carrying more debt. And some firsttime buyers are looking at condos and duplexes instead of houses. There is also more pressure on families to earn two incomes, rather than letting one choose to be the stayat-home parent. This could be a particular challenge in the Salt Lake City area, where families are generally larger, mostly because of the influence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, and about 28% of the population is under 18, compared with nearly 24% nationwide. “The one thing that really would make it even more sustainable is if wages would increase,” Robbins said. “Whereas before you could have a young couple buy a place and only one of them would work. Now, you need both of them to work.” Andy and Stacie Proctor made a bid on a house in the Salt Lake City suburbs,

only to rescind it upon learning there were 13 rival offers. At one point, they almost decided not to buy a house just yet, figuring the bubble was going to burst eventually, said Andy, a 35-year-old who hosts the podcast “More Happy Life.” But there was also the opposite risk: “There is the question about whether it’s going to keep going up,” his 31-year-old wife said. The couple ultimately made a successful offer on a three-bedroom house for $438,000 in Vineyard, Utah. It includes an apartment that could be rented out to defray their mortgage payments. That will make it easier for them to afford starting a family.
Roughly 1 in 6 homes sold in the Salt Lake Valley since 2004 have been in a 4,100-acre development called Daybreak, being built on land once owned by mining giant Rio Tinto. About 5,500 homes have been constructed, with an additional 14,500 units planned — enough in total to house roughly 65,000 people. The homes range from $180,000 to $1 million. One of the guiding principles is that homeowners can upgrade or downsize without having to move out of the neighborhood. But that cycle of upgrading might not continue as it did for past generations. Home values need to rise for people to build equity
that they can use to buy a new house. Yet if they rise too fast, it will become too expensive for many people to move up. Parry Harrison, a 26-year-old divorced father of two small children, bought a townhouse in Daybreak for $309,000 in March. His down payment came in large part from selling his previous home, which appreciated a robust 25% in the two years he owned it. He hopes to upgrade again in five years, when his children might need more space. “It’s definitely not a forever home,” he said. “It’s a lot more convenient if I have move-up opportunities that are right next door.”

WASHINGTON — Plunging ahead despite paralyzing partisanship in the nation’s capital, senior lawmakers of both parties Thursday proposed legislation to tackle surprise medical bills and other concerns, from prescription drug costs to uneven vaccination rates.

sues often led to dialogue and cooperation between political parties. Alexander chairs the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee, while Murray is the ranking Democrat. “We can make progress when both sides are at the table ready to put patients and families first,” Murray said in a statement. Alexander said he wants to bring the bill to the Senate floor in July and get legislation on President Donald Trump’s desk. But with Trump threatening to halt all coopera-
tion with Democrats unless House Democrats stop investigating him, the outlook is unclear. Alexander says his bill represents “common sense steps” — more than 30 specific ideas — that are readily achievable. “Surprise medical bills” are the shockingly high charges insured patients can get hit with when a hospital or doctor is not in their insurers’ network. Earlier this month, Trump held a White House event to declare his eagerness to sign a fix into law. The Alexander-Murray
legislation would protect patients by limiting their financial responsibility to their own plan’s innetwork rates, when they receive emergency care at an out-of-network hospital, or when an out-of-network clinician provides services at an in-network facility. But the legislation remains a work in progress, since lawmakers still have to figure out how hospitals, doctors and insurers would settle the costs among themselves. Insurers and employers who sponsor workplace coverage favor a set formula for calculating fees, while hospitals and doctors are calling for arbitration. Alexander and Murray have plenty of company on surprise medical bills, since lawmakers in both chambers of Congress have advanced various proposals. A lobbying war has broken out between insurers and employers on one side, and hospitals and doctors on the other, over how to determine payments once patients are no longer liable for out-of-network care. On prescription drugs, the bill includes a smorgasbord of measures aimed at indirectly lowering drug prices. But none of the proposals would require drugmakers to lower
their prices or authorize the government to negotiate better deals. Instead, several sections of the bill would discourage industry tactics long used to delay the launch of lower-priced generic medications. For instance, branded drug manufacturers routinely file frivolous petitions with the Food and Drug Administration against potential generic competitors, often delaying their entry to the market for months. The bill would empower the FDA to ignore such petitions. Among other provisions, the bill would: — Authorize a national campaign to promote vaccination to prevent disease and control its spread. The campaign would “combat misinformation” and circulate scientific evidence making the case for vaccinations. The recent U.S. measles outbreak has been blamed on lagging vaccination rates in parts of the country. — Call on the Health and Human Services Department to set up a grant program for improving medical care for pregnant women, with the aim of preventing maternal deaths and complications. Another grant program would focus on improving care for infants.
How to maximize your gym workout (and membership) Ringing in the new year might be about toasting to good fortune and reminiscing with family and friends. But for many people, New Year’s Eve also may be spent thinking about New Year’s resolutions, many of which may focus on getting healthy and fit in the year ahead. According to CreditDonkey, a financial resource that helps people save money and make savvy financial decisions, the health club industry is valued at around $27 billion in the United States. Globally, health clubs produce close to $75 billion in revenue every
year. And that industry appears unlikely to slow down anytime soon, as more and more people are resolving to get healthier. No one signs up for a membership hoping for mediocre results. Therefore, here is how to get the most out of a gym membership and regular workouts. • Get inside the door. The first step to realizing results is to go to the gym. Statistics indicate that within a month or two of joining a gym, attendance numbers dwindle even though people continue to pay for memberships when they are not going to the gym. Schedule time
at the gym as you would any other activity. If you need motivation to go, enlist a friend to join and get you to attend. • Do something you love. Gyms cater to so many different workout experiences these days that gymgoers need not worry about getting bored with their fitness routines. Start out with an activity you enjoy doing, or experiment with different activities until you find one that you find enjoyable. You may be allowed to sample classes without paying for a different membership plan, or even just observe outside of the studio door to get a sense
of what may interest you. • Work with a trainer. Gyms employ personal trainers who can help novices learn the ropes. New members can rely on personal training sessions to familiarize themselves with a gym’s equipment and the proper techniques to employ when using that equipment. Trainers also can play key supportive rolls in members’ workouts, helping to keep clients motivated on those days when the enthusiasm is waning. • Vary your workouts. Expanding your boundaries is a great way to push your body and maximize your workout. According
to Jacob Wilson, Ph.D., certified strength and conditioning specialist and associate editor of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, “... by only doing cardio your metabolism will actually go down, making weight loss more difficult. Resistance training, however, builds muscle to increase your metabolic rate.” Variety is the spice of life, and it’s also essential to effective workouts. Fitness resolutions are popular, and there are several ways to realize those resolutions and get the most out of your investment in a gym membership.
— Broaden consumer access to information from their health plans, including readily accessible lists of network providers, calculators for estimating out-of-pocket costs and medical claims data. — Take steps to promote disclosure of contracting information in the health care industry, where accurate pricing information remains hard to obtain. Missing from the legislation are any provisions to stabilize coverage under the Affordable Care Act, or mitigate the potentially far-reaching consequences if opponents succeed in a lawsuit to strike down the law as unconstitutional. Alexander and Murray had earlier written a bipartisan bill to shore up the health law’s insurance markets, but the effort failed. Before the political wars over the Obama-era health law, it was not uncommon to see lawmakers of both parties working side by side on health care. Federal mental health parity legislation grew out of bipartisan collaboration. The Medicare prescription drug benefit under Republican President George W. Bush had support from key Senate Democrats.

Young homebuyers scramble as prices rise faster than incomes By JOSH BOAK and LARRY FENN Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — For millennials looking to buy their first home, the hunt feels like a race against the clock. In the seven years since the housing crash ended, home values in more than three-quarters of U.S. metro areas have climbed faster than incomes, according to an Associated Press analysis of real estate industry data provided by CoreLogic. That gap is driving some first-timers out of the most expensive cities as well as pressuring them to buy something before they are completely priced out of the market. The high cost of home ownership is also putting extreme pressure on 20and 30-somethings as they try to balance mortgage payments, student loans, child care and their careers. “They do want all the same things that previous generations want,” said Daryl Fairweather, chief economist for the brokerage Redfin. “They just have more roadblocks, and they’re going to have to come up with more creative solutions to get the homes that they want.” A Redfin analysis found these buyers are leaving too-hot-to-touch big-city markets — among them, San Francisco and Seattle, where the tech boom has sent housing prices into the stratosphere. Many millennials are instead buying in more reasonably priced neighborhoods around places like Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City and Ra-
leigh, North Carolina. That, in turn, is driving up housing prices in those communities. Jake and Heather Rice, both 35, moved to Utah last year from Mountain View, California, where the biggest employers are tech giants such as Google, Symantec and Intuit and the median home price is a dizzying $1.4 million or so. The couple and their three children settled into a 4,500-square-foot house in fast-growing Farmington, just far enough away from Salt Lake City to feel rural but minutes from a major shopping center and Heather’s sister. Their monthly mortgage cost of $3,000 is roughly the same as the rent for their former two-bedroom apartment in Mountain View. “We didn’t expect to stay in California because of how ludicrous the prices had become,” said Jake, a mechanical engineer who works in the medical device sector. Nationally, home prices since 2000 have climbed at an annual average rate of 4%, according to the data firm CoreLogic, while average incomes have grown at an annual rate of 2.6%. And in the metro areas with the strongest income growth — for example, parts of Silicon Valley — home prices have risen even faster. The Salt Lake City area is among the hottest spots for first-time buyers in part because of a staggering burst of home construction and a surge of high-tech jobs. The suburb of Lehi, which served as a film location for the 1984 Kevin Bacon movie “Footloose,”
about a rural town that banned dancing, is in what is now known as “Silicon Slopes” because Adobe, eBay and Microsoft have opened offices there. Of course, the influx of people from unaffordable cities is contributing to the very problem they were trying to escape: Home prices in the greater Salt Lake City area surged 10.8% in the past year, while average incomes rose only 3.9%, according to figures from CoreLogic and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Scott Robbins, president of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors, sees the price growth as having changed the habits of first-time buyers. They are putting less money down and carrying more debt. And some firsttime buyers are looking at condos and duplexes instead of houses. There is also more pressure on families to earn two incomes, rather than letting one choose to be the stayat-home parent. This could be a particular challenge in the Salt Lake City area, where families are generally larger, mostly because of the influence of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, and about 28% of the population is under 18, compared with nearly 24% nationwide. “The one thing that really would make it even more sustainable is if wages would increase,” Robbins said. “Whereas before you could have a young couple buy a place and only one of them would work. Now, you need both of them to work.” Andy and Stacie Proctor made a bid on a house in the Salt Lake City suburbs,

only to rescind it upon learning there were 13 rival offers. At one point, they almost decided not to buy a house just yet, figuring the bubble was going to burst eventually, said Andy, a 35-year-old who hosts the podcast “More Happy Life.” But there was also the opposite risk: “There is the question about whether it’s going to keep going up,” his 31-year-old wife said. The couple ultimately made a successful offer on a three-bedroom house for $438,000 in Vineyard, Utah. It includes an apartment that could be rented out to defray their mortgage payments. That will make it easier for them to afford starting a family.
Roughly 1 in 6 homes sold in the Salt Lake Valley since 2004 have been in a 4,100-acre development called Daybreak, being built on land once owned by mining giant Rio Tinto. About 5,500 homes have been constructed, with an additional 14,500 units planned — enough in total to house roughly 65,000 people. The homes range from $180,000 to $1 million. One of the guiding principles is that homeowners can upgrade or downsize without having to move out of the neighborhood. But that cycle of upgrading might not continue as it did for past generations. Home values need to rise for people to build equity
that they can use to buy a new house. Yet if they rise too fast, it will become too expensive for many people to move up. Parry Harrison, a 26-year-old divorced father of two small children, bought a townhouse in Daybreak for $309,000 in March. His down payment came in large part from selling his previous home, which appreciated a robust 25% in the two years he owned it. He hopes to upgrade again in five years, when his children might need more space. “It’s definitely not a forever home,” he said. “It’s a lot more convenient if I have move-up opportunities that are right next door.”

A heartfelt thanks for helping in my time of need To the Community of Seward, Alaska, and the Race Directors of the 2019 Exit Glacier 10K: My husband, Kevin Calhoun, was the man that passed away during the Exit Glacier 10K on Saturday, May 18, 2019. It is still unknown why Kevin died, but I’ll hopefully have some answers soon; he was 34 years old and there are so many questions. I want to send my heartfelt thanks to everyone that helped my husband on his way out of this world. The women that were with him when he collapsed, the strangers who helped me to stay somewhat calm, the people who traded off compressions so they could try to give him a chance to live, the police officer who responded and distracted me by taking our info, the paramedics who worked to save his life on the way to the hospital, the woman who
Kevin Calhoun passed away on Saturday, May 18, 2019.
drove my truck and temperamental dogs to the hospital, the ambulance driver who sat with me and rubbed my back and refrained from telling me it was going to
be OK, the Doctor who did everything she could to try to save my husband, the chaplain who sat and prayed and allowed me to cry and tell her random anecdotes
and try to answer my questions, the nurses who asked for hugs and cried for me, the nurse who offered me her leftover burger and subsequently sent me off with
some Sweet Darlings Fudge, and the Seward Parks & Rec Director who came to the hospital to check on Kevin only to find out that he died and to offer her yard for my dogs and her house in case I needed to do laundry or a place to stay. I can never thank you enough for making the hardest day of my life a little bit easier. If I forgot to mention anyone, just please know that your actions were noticed and you will forever have my gratitude. I don’t want Kevin to be remembered as the man that collapsed and died during a race. My beloved husband was literally running for his life. He had made goals of completing an ultra marathon, specifically the Resurrection Ultra 50, and he was killing (no pun intended) those goals.
He ran a half marathon that Grace Ridge Brewery in Homer put on Saturday, April 27 and we were both ecstatic that he beat his personal goal time. Kevin was the funniest smart aleck and most loving and thoughtful husband a person could ever hope for. He could be a grump, but his good qualities always outshone that little imperfection. He was the sort of man who would leave flowers and snacks in my car when I was having a bad day and tease me out of a bad mood with his goofiness. He left behind me, the love of his life, our two dogs, Allie and Potato, our cat Chad, his parents, Clancy & Charlotte Calhoun, his sister Kelli Matacjich and her husband Johnny and their two children, Aubrey and Dylan and many more friends and family. — Dani Calhoun

Make a mistake Enrique ____ Nieto, Mexican president elected in 2012 Word after leading or cleaning Digression Private sector? Hurt
Woman in love longs to hear three little words from beau DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a wonderful man for a little more than two years. We are both divorced and have children. Mine are 20 and 15; his are 12 and 10. We are very close, all of our kids get along, all the exes get along, etc. I love him. Despite thinking I’d never feel this way again, it has happened. He treats me SO well -- he is absolutely amazing to me. We go places, do things -- dinners, family events, etc. I have never felt so loved and valued. My issue is, he has not said the words “I love you” yet. We have discussed it a few times, but he is terrified to say it because of his divorce.

Dear Readers: May 25 has been named National Missing Children’s Day. Its purpose is to bring attention to MISSING AND ABDUCTED CHILDREN. After a large number of kids went missing, particularly in the early 1980s, it became evident that there was no centralized clearinghouse to search for kids nationwide. With help from the FBI (www. fbi.gov) and the U.S. Department of Justice (www.justice.gov), this situation has gotten better. These agencies agree: One step parents can take to help find a missing child is to have a current, good-quality photograph of the child. And update the picture frequently; young kids grow and change rapidly. A poignant statement you and your family can make today: Wear only one sock, and post a picture to your social media. Use the hashtag #RockOneSock, and tag @MissingKids! (“SOCK” stands for “Save Our Country’s Kids”), a great way to start a dialogue about this important issue. You can also go to the National Cen-

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, May 26, 2019: This year, you evolve to a new level of sensitivity dealing with an older association. You become more in tune with others. If single, you meet someone who you care a lot about, probably through a dear friend. If attached, the two of you strengthen your bond, despite a PISCES who always interjects his or her opinions into your life together. Be your own person. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might want to take in more information but ask fewer questions. Others relax more easily with you and come up with more information. A family member is difficult -- no matter what! Tonight: Not to be found. This Week: You start with pomp and celebration Monday. You find it hard to settle down most of the week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You could be more difficult and irritated than you are aware of. A friend shares a piece of information that might not feel grounded. You are too practical to value what is being shared. Use care with sarcasm. Tonight: Listen to great music. This Week: You roll into Memorial Day with smiles and the people you most enjoy. The party will go on and on. Expect to be tired most of the week. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Deal with another person directly. You could feel as if your efforts are not paying off when dealing with an older relative or friend. He or she can be very sarcastic at times. Let this person’s comments wash right over you. They reflect the person -- nothing more. Tonight: To the wee hours. This Week: You might feel like everyone is counting on you to make this week work. They are! CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to head in a new direction despite another per-

son’s need for the tried and true. Avoid an argument at any cost. You do not want to hear anything that could lead to a potential conflict. Tonight: Stretch and do the unusual. This Week: You might not be in your normal routine at all. Some of you could be far away from home or the tried and true. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could want to change directions. You open up a conversation with a partner or close associate. How you see a personal matter makes a big difference. A partner views the issue in a different light. Try to find a midpoint. Tonight: Be a duo. This Week: You could feel as if there is no stopping the fun and good times. You just might be right! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Understand that a partner or associate holds others’ attention. You could deal with a problem with ease as long as a family member can be easygoing. Be careful with a friend who could be angry. Tonight: Where your friends are. This Week: You are into someone quite significant. Much of your thought revolves around this person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You find out that another person might not be as strong or willful as you think. Your creativity emerges dealing with this person. Emotions might be a lot closer to the surface than you think. Tonight: Flow with the moment. This Week: Whether you are throwing a party, in some form you are bringing others together. Midweek, allow others to dominate. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be more in touch with your feelings than you have been for a long time. Touch base with the long-term desires and expectations you have for a friendship. Flow with the moment. A close loved one continues to act in an erratic manner. Tonight: Keep your opinions to yourself for now. This Week: Defer to others; be
easygoing. You become involved in some fascinating happenings and intriguing conversations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be a lot closer to a family member than you have been for a while. Conversations on a one-on-one level seem to work and give you a lot of information and feedback. Do not feel pressured by a family member or roommate. Tonight: Relax with the moment. This Week: You tend to make a big splash when partying. You will again. Settling in could be close to impossible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could cause yourself a lot of problems. You might not be as clear as you think. You are changing your opinions about a neighbor or how you relate. You could be getting a lot of information from left field. Tonight: Be as clear as possible in a talk. This Week: Express your deeper feelings. Others could be quite touched. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Be aware of the potential costs of proceeding as you have. Be more aware of your expenses. Feelings could go to an extreme as you try to deal with them. Avoid a shopping trip if possible. Tonight: Settle in for a quiet night. This Week: Be frugal if need be, but keep your budget. You will be smiling by Wednesday that you did not go overboard. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your way of dealing with another person might surprise a loved one. You feel the need to let an older person or an authority figure in your life know how much you appreciate him or her. You experience many changes at the last minute. Tonight: You make the call. This Week: You beam and others respond. Go for what you want. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks (1948), actor John Wayne (1907), trumpet player Miles Davis (1926)

• If you’re a fan of “The Last Kids on Earth” series of four books by Max Brallier, keep an eye out for “The Last Kids on Earth Survival Guide.” This journal/guide/activity book lets readers join their favorite characters in surviving the monster apocalypse and more. (Bonus info: The fifth book is coming in September, along with an animated series on Netflix.) • Who can resist a unicorn named Marigold Heavenly Nostrils? Not Phoebe, and in her seven-book series, author Dana Simpson takes “Phoebe and Her Unicorn” on some funny misadventures as she explores their deepening friendship. • The newest book in “The Ballpark Mysteries” series by David A. Kelly is No. 15, “The Baltimore Bandit.” Each of these chapter books takes place in a different baseball park.

• Authors Adam Gidwitz and David Bowles team up for “The Unicorn Rescue Society,” a series of four books about mythical creatures and the kids who try to save them. Book Four is called “The Chupacabras of the Rio Grande.” • Video gamers who also love to read will appreciate the “Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior” series by Cube Kid (also known as Erik Gunnar Taylor). These journals of a Villagetown kid from Minecraft chronicle his journey to becoming a warrior and defeating all kinds of challengers. • The “Greystone Secrets” series by Margaret Peterson Haddix starts with “The Strangers,” a treasure for mystery lovers. In this first book, three siblings’ lives are upended when three children who have their same names, ages and birthdates are kidnapped. • Author Jordan Stratford places Ada Byron and Mary Shelley in 19th-century London for “The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency” books. Using brains and courage, the girls solve one mystery after another.

Summer is a great time to dive into a book series: two or more books with the same characters, by the same author, but with new stories. Let’s take a look at some favorites. • Author Margaret Mincks will keep readers laughing with her “Poplar Lane” series. The 2020 presidential election is more than a year away, but the series’ second book, “President of Poplar Lane,” gets the ball rolling with the contest for class president. • For history fans, Lauren Tarshis’ “I Survived” series provides a window into some of the world’s greatest moments. The 18th book, “I Survived the Battle of D-Day, 1944,” introduces Paul, a French boy who helps the Allies defeat the Nazis. • For a wildly different take on history, “Julius Zebra” books are a wacky trip to other times, with a few wellknown characters, like Cleopatra, thrown in. “Julius Zebra: Entangled With the Egyptians” is Gary Northfield’s newest addition to the series.

Eco Note A new study finds that hundreds of millions of birds die by crashing into U.S. buildings each year during their migrations. Songbirds are among the greatest victims at night because they emit chirps that signal other birds to follow and sometimes crash into the structures. City lights and glass windows that appear as clear air to the birds are also threats. Chicago is said to be the deadliest city for bird crashes. adapted with permission from Earthweek.com

Print shop manager Doug Munn By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion
Doug Munn’s roles with the Peninsula Clarion jump around over the course of nearly 30 years. Currently, Doug serves as the general manager of Printer’s Ink and is responsible for the print shop and all its revenue. Starting as a carrier in 1990, Doug moved up to assistant circulation manager in 1993, took time away from the Clarion to go to college, came back as a carrier until 2000. He moved up to circulation manager until 2005, when he moved to Minnesota. “I moved back to Soldotna and once again was a carrier,” Doug said. “I moved back into the Clarion office in 2016 as circulation director for Morris Communication’s Alaska properties. I became manager of Printer’s Ink, our print shop, in March of 2018, to go along with being the circulation director. I am now the general manager of Printer’s Ink, and only assist in circula-

tion as needed.” Doug is originally from Robbinsdale, Minnesota and moved to Sol-
dotna in 1990. “Being from Minnesota, I love all things Minnesota, especially the
sports teams. I follow all the teams, but especially the Minnesota Twins baseball team,” Doug said. Since moving to Alaska, Doug has only spent a year Outside, but loves to travel. He has been to 46 out of the 50 states, with just Idaho, New Mexico, Louisiana and Hawaii left. “My favorite memories are of my family and friends first visits to experience Alaska and their reactions. They are always in awe of everything up here,” Doug said. Doug is married to his second wife, Kristen, has three children from his first marriage and two grandchildren. “This summer my children and grandkids are coming up for an extended visit in June which will be a great way to spend the summer,” Doug said. In his free time, Doug loves to read Louis L’Amour westerns, playing cards with friends and listening to all kinds of music.

Thanks for a successful spaghetti night The Funny River Community Lutheran Ladies thank the community and everyone involved, for the support of our “Italian Night” dinner on Saturday, May 18. It was such a wonderful experience and great success that we plan to have it again next year! We appreciate you all — thank you again.
Thanks for helping us ‘stamp out hunger’ The Kenai Peninsula Food Bank’s, board of directors, staff and those we serve wish to thank everyone who participated in the recent “Help Stamp Out Hunger” campaign. Wow! What a response! The food drive’s tim-
ing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries (including ours)
are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need. The generous support from you, our commu-
nity, managed to help fill the gaps on the shelves with over 650 pounds of food. Incredible! This annual food drive is a national event organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers, and coordinated with
the Kenai and Soldotna Post Offices. This is the 27th year for the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, which has collected more than 1.6 billion pounds of food since its inception. Last year alone 71.6 million
pounds of non-perishable food was donated nationwide – 100,000 pounds in the Last Frontier State. — Randi Smith, donor relations specialist Kenai Peninsula Food Bank
