In the news Troopers: 3 dead in plane crash on Kenai Peninsula ANCHORAGE — Alaska State Troopers say three people were killed when a small plane crashed on land near a bay on the Kenai Peninsula.

Troopers spokesman Ken Marsh says the crash occurred Friday night in Little Johnstone Bay, about 30 miles southeast of Seward.

Troopers identified the pilot as 63-year-old Kem Sibbitt of Fairbanks.

The identities of the two passengers were not immediately released. All three bodies were recovered Saturday.

Marsh didn’t know the purpose of the flight in the Helio Courier aircraft, but he said it was a private plane.

The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.

‘It looks bleak right now’ Oilers face financial peril, turn to community for help

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Massive declines in gaming revenue and sponsorship have put the future of the Peninsula Oilers summer collegiate baseball team in jeopardy.

The Oilers are playing out their 46th consecutive season and are the only Alaska Baseball League team never to have taken a season off.

The squad of top collegiate players has three National Baseball Congress World Series titles to its credit and has sent 125 players to the major leagues. All this from the See OILERS, page A3

May job numbers in Alaska up from year earlier JUNEAU — Alaska’s unemployment rate fell to 6.4% last month, which would be its lowest level in more than a decade.

But the figure is preliminary and could still change; the state’s unemployment rate had stood at 6.5 percent since August.

State labor department economist Karinne Wiebold says until there are several months of movement in a certain direction it is too early to say if this means anything.

Federal labor statistics show the last time Alaska’s unemployment rate was 6.4% was December 2007.

The state labor department says Alaska gained 900 jobs between May 2018 and last month.

Construction added the most jobs during that time, followed by the oil and gas sector.

Manufacturing, which the department says is mostly seafood processing, was down 600 jobs over that period.

The Swan Lake Fire has reached 23,210 acres and continues to spread eastward, according to a Saturday update from the Alaska Incident Management Team.

The fire, which was started by lightning strikes on June 5, is located in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge northeast of the community of Sterling.

There are 335 personnel managing the fire, including five crews from the Lower 48 that arrived on Thursday and Friday. In addition, aerial firefighting efforts will be bolstered by the arrival of several large “scooper” planes from Canada that will scoop water out of Skilak and Hidden lakes to attack the fire’s edge. Those recreating near the lakes should be aware of these operations and avoid the center of the lakes.

More than 200 community members attended a fire information meeting on Friday night at the Sterling Community Center to hear an update from the incident management team on the status of the Swan Lake Fire. During the meeting, several personnel detailed the strategies being used to contain the fire and protect critical infrastructure while allowing the fire to burn through dense black spruce forest. Operations Section Chief Chris Wennogle said that the southwest perimeter of the fire, known as Division Alpha, has been the priority area for creating fire lines due to its proximSee FIRE, page A2

Agency estimates $1.3M 30-day Wasilla special session

By Becky Bohrer Associated Press

JUNEAU — A 30-day special legislative session in Wasilla could cost $1.3 million, according to estimates from the Legislative Affairs Agency, which has cited logistical and security

concerns with Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s recommended meeting venue.

Dunleavy called lawmakers into a special session July 8 in Wasilla to finalize this year’s payout to residents from the state’s oil-wealth fund, the Alaska Permanent Fund. He has

recommended they meet at Wasilla Middle School.

Legislative leaders have been weighing their options. Dunleavy, a Republican, represented Wasilla and surrounding areas for five years in the state Senate.

Hamming it up Amateur radio operators gather for field day

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

The airwaves were abuzz on Saturday as amateur radio operators from the Kenai Peninsula gathered to participate in the Amateur Radio Relay League’s Annual Field Day. The 24-hour event gives radio operators from all over North America a chance to practice their skills and connect with fellow ham radio enthusiasts from hundreds or thousands of miles away.

The local Moose Horn Amateur Radio Club set up their portable headquarters at the field across from the Vintage Pointe Senior Apartments and spent the day exchanging call signs with people from Alberta, Canada, San

Borough looks to expand oversight of Airbnb, VRBO

By ViICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula Borough hopes to crack down on technologybased businesses — like Airbnb, VRBO and similar websites — with new compliance software.

Creating compliance with these sites will allow the borough to better monitor and regulate these businesses, as well as collect sales tax.

A quick search on airbnb.com shows hundreds of home, cabins and even yurts for rent, as well as add-on experiences like halibut charters, a guided hike up Mount Marathon, a sailboat tour of Kenai Lake and more.

Earlier this month, many residents testified at the borough assembly

against the recently passed bed tax, voicing their frustrations over popular hospitality booking sites like Airbnb and VRBO, which make it simple for residents to put their homes, cabins and properties up for rent during high-traffic summer months.

Airbnb has over 6 million listings worldwide, according to its website.

Marcia Kuszmaul, owner of Juneberry Lodge and president of the Homer Bed and Breakfast Association, said there are more than 1,500 Airbnb listings in Homer, Kenai, Soldotna and Seward, not including the surrounding areas. She said last year in Homer, there were 340 Airbnb listings, and this year there are 429.

school is not included in the cost estimate, Geary said.

Matt Shuckerow, a Dunleavy spokesman, expressed skepticism with the cost estimates and what he characterized as excuses.

“Legislators unfortunately are going to great lengths to find reasons to not meet in the Mat-Su Valley,” he said, referring to the region

in which Wasilla is nestled.

He said the school is “more than adequate.”

Senate President Cathy Giessel said three factors are being considered as lawmakers mull their options: cost, the ability to maintain reliable recordings and documentation of committee meetings and floor sessions and the separation of pow-

ers.

“The Legislature has jurisdiction over its own function, and we are very aware of that and we are not willing, I guess you would say, to relinquish our standing as a separate but equal branch of government,” she said.

Giessel, an Anchorage Republican, acknowledged the constitution allows for

a governor to call a special session. But she called Dunleavy’s proposal unprecedented. Past special sessions outside Juneau, in Anchorage, have been called by the Legislature, “under its own jurisdiction,” she said.

“We are looking at the implications of the call that is presently before us and our response to it,” she said.

We need to be collecting (taxes) — it’s criminal we are not regulating them.

It’s a shame we’re having housing issues in my backyard.”

Chief of Staff James Baisden told residents at the June 4 meeting that the borough has included $50,000 in the FY 2020 budget to purchase compliance software to address booking sites that aren’t contributing to sales tax.

“We may be a little bit behind, but I wanted to make sure this group heard that,” Baisden said.

Borough finance director, Brandi Harbaugh, said the compliance software should be implemented by the end of the year.

Currently, the borough’s audit team uses a number of tools and resources to track compliance with local business-

es, such as annual field trips to physically canvass communities, online tools used on Craigslist and Facebook and state business license listings.

“With those mechanisms and those tools we’ve used over the years — they’ve been effective,” she said. “With the changes with the electronic technology we have these days — Airbnb, VRBO, those types of things — they’re challenging without memberships. This software will offer us direct access to the properties that advertise on those platforms.”

The software is subscription based, costing approximately $50,00 a year. The software uses the geographic area of the borough to give the borough information they can download and utilize “to prove and show documentation that folks are

indeed renting or leasing their rooms, houses, facilities, whatever they may be advertising on there.”

Harbaugh said the borough doesn’t have an estimate as to how much sales tax revenue could be generated.

“The goal is to create compliance and a level playing field for those who may not be registering with the Kenai Peninsula Borough,” she said.

It is also unclear how the 10% bed tax, if passed by the voters in October, would affect residents hosting on Airbnb, VRBO or other booking websites and apps.

While there is no applicable sales tax in Anchorage, Airbnb indicates on their website that guests who book Airbnb listings are subject to the municipality’s 12% room tax.

several different directions, which has made the winds affecting the fire difficult to predict. Scattered thunderstorms are forecasted for Sunday and Monday with temperatures increasing later in the week, and the potential thunderstorms could create problems for the fire-

fighters on the ground.

“Some of these folks are charging $50 a night. So what do you do?”

Adrienne Sweeney, owner of Homer’s Driftwood Inn, said the growth in Airbnbs has negatively impacted the housing market in Homer.

“In Homer we’re having a housing crisis,” she said at the June 4 meeting.

“I have employees who have to move out in May, live in a tent and then get their housing back in September because we have been flooded with Airbnbs and VRBOs who are flying under the radar. They are not regulated. But, if you can’t beat them join them.

I have 13 Airbnb listings.

ity to Sterling and the Sterling Highway, and has been well contained at this time.

“We have a lot of forces on the ground primarily focusing on that Division Alpha area to prevent that fire from moving towards the community,” Wennogle said.

Wennogle said that the southeastern side of the fire has been the main source of smoke, which has caused reduced visibility along the Sterling Highway. To the north, Wennogle said the environment turns to mostly wetlands and provides a natural buffer for containing the fire.

Incident meteorologist Julia Ruthford, who is in charge of monitoring the weather forecasts in the immediate area of the fire, said during the meeting that the Kenai Peninsula has a unique weather system compared to the rest of the state.

Amiel Jeanette Severson

Mary Louise Murray

August 6, 1963 - June 18, 2019

September 23, 1942 - June 1, 2019

With love-filled broken hearts, the family of Amiel Jeannette Severson announces her passing on Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at her home in Soldotna.

Amiel will lovingly be remembered by her husband Bill; children and/or spouses Desiree Dunn, Stephen and Marissa Severson, Danielle and Jeff Meyers, Donica and Shea Nash, Delissa and Daniel Owen, and Damaris Severson; grandchildren Mereiedi, Tigris, Isabeau, and Seralai Dunn; Owen and Annie Severson; Lev and Hugo Meyers; Jeren, Jax, Eleni, and Flint Nash; Gideon Owen and a sibling yet to be born; mother Barbara Ruckman; brothers Joel and Chuck Kopp; sister Sara Erickson, along with many other aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Amiel was born August 6, 1963 in South Naknek and graduated from Cook Inlet Academy in 1981. She also attended Biola University and University of Alaska Anchorage.

She was a wonderful mother, homemaker, and teacher’s aide.

She was involved in various ministries at the Soldotna Bible Chapel. She especially loved studying and teaching from the Bible.

Amiel’s family shares, “Amiel had a gift for spreading love, joy, and happiness in our family. She was a spark for us, and her zest for life was contagious. She loved encouraging people, and many regularly experienced her unconditional love. Amiel had a passionate love of God and her faith in Him was unshakable. She gave her life for her family and loved them with all her heart. She was truly a remarkable woman! Her family will deeply miss her presence until we reunite again with her in heaven.” Memorial donations or condolences may be made in memory of Amiel to – 33150 Baylor Street – Soldotna, Alaska 99669 c/o Bill Severson.

A memorial service is planned for Saturday, June 29 at 7:00 p.m. at Soldotna Bible Chapel, 300 West Marydale, Soldotna, with a reception to follow. Also on Saturday afternoon, a graveside service will be held for family at Kenai Municipal Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Stephen Severson, Jeff Meyers, Shea Nash, Daniel Owen, Charles Mark Kopp, Charles Michael Kopp, and Paul Kopp.

Longtime Sterling resident Mary L. Murray, 76, left this earth to be with her Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ on June 1, 2019 after battling metastatic breast cancer.

There will be a celebration of her life at Hidden Lake, where her family will scatter her ashes, at a later date.

Mary Louise Murray was born Sept. 23, 1942 in Muskegon, Mich. Her love for family and friends, and her faith in our Lord Jesus helped her through this journey and gave her peace in her final days. She did not want a formal service, as she wanted those who loved her to remember her as she was in life smiling and strong. She was our rock and will be missed.

Mary was preceded in death by her daughter, Cheryl Ann Murray, her parents, James and Marie Hull, sister, Joyce Hull, and brothers, James and Paul Hull.

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Sondra and Bulmaro Reyes of Soldotna; son and daughterin-law, Joe and Andrea Murray of Sterling; grandsons, Marcos Reyes of Soldotna and Logan Murray of Sterling; granddaughter, Allison Murray of Sterling; her brother, John Hull of Miller, Mo.; and many nieces and nephews.

“I really don’t know how to describe it.”

Tice said the funds are not in the bank right now to get the players home.

We look forward to sharing our memories and sharing some great stories with family and friends about Travis and his many adventures growing up on the Kenai Peninsula.

A get together with food and refreshments is planned at Paradisos Restaurant in Kenai immediately following the Celebration.

For those interested in becoming an amateur radio operator, the folks at Moose Horn also provided the opportunity to take the 35-question certification exam right there on the spot. Anyone who passes the exam with at least a 75% is issued a unique and universally recognized call sign by the Federal Communications Commission. In many cases, operators know each other’s call signs better than they know their real names, and several of the people participating in the Field Day proudly displayed their call signs on their hats and license plates.

While it’s not a requirement for certification, many ham radio operators take on the role of first responders in the event of an emergency where traditional lines of communication break down.

That’s exactly what happened in the wake of the 1964 earthquake, when ham radio operators came together to be the voice of remote communities that had no other way to communicate with each other.

The Alaska-Pacific Emer-

gency Preparedness Net, which was set up in the wake of the earthquake, still operates to this day on the 14.292 MHz frequency band and has amateur operators checking in five days a week.

George Van Lone — better known by his call sign, KL7AN — is a member of the Moose Horn club and still has the radio that his wife’s aunt used during the earthquake. Van Lone said the radio is currently in storage in California, but he’s hoping to get it up to Alaska soon and is considering donating it to a museum to preserve it as a part of history.

“Radios were a lot bigger in those days, so we’re still trying to figure out how to get it up here,” Van Lone said.

While scanning the different frequencies to find anyone broadcasting for the Field Day — also known as a “search and pounce” — Van Lone picked up on someone transmitting out of San Francisco and after a few attempts managed to get their attention and add them to the list. By midafternoon, the Moose Horn station had only been in contact with a handful of other operators. Van Lone attributed this to the fact

that most stations outside of Alaska don’t point their receivers in this direction and Alaska transmissions sometimes get lost in translation.

“The problem is that we’ve got our antennae pointed at them, but they’ve got their antennae pointed at each other,” Van Lone said. “So a lot of times we hear them but they don’t hear us.”

Ron Hovarth, call sign W8PVZ, never had an interest in amateur radio until his dad passed away in 2006. Hovarth’s dad was an operator for 75 years, and Hovarth knew that his dad’s call sign would go back to the FCC to eventually be recycled. So while living in Bethel he and a friend earned their certifications, and Hovarth was able to acquire his dad’s old call sign after a little bit of haggling with the FCC. Now he uses it to keep his dad’s spirit alive on the airwaves, and has since used his ham radio to communicate with people all over the world.

“I remember flipping burgers on my back porch in Bethel while talking to someone in South America,” Hovarth said.

Hovarth also recalled a time when he connected with two World War II

veterans, one living in the United Kingdom and one living in Australia. After talking with them for a while, the two veterans had the realization that they were stationed at the same military base in Australia during the war — they even played a game of baseball against each other.

“They kept narrowing down the details of when and where they were stationed, and all of a sudden it was like, ‘Oh so you’re the guy I tagged out at second base!’”

Hovarth said.

Anyone interested in taking the amateur radio certification exam or joining the Moose Horn Amateur Radio Club can contact Max Carpenter at wa7b@aol.com. Carpenter, call sign WA7B, has been an amateur radio operator for over 30 years — going all the way back to when he broadcasted on the “funny channels” of CB radio that were not exactly legally sanctioned at the time. Carpenter is the president of the Moose Horn Club and administers the certification exams to would-be operators. The club gets together for lunch on Thursdays and has a meeting every month.

either through fundraising and donation of air miles that takes place this season, or continued generosity of board members, who already donated air miles and use of their credit cards to get the team up here.

The team also will make some money from beer and concessions at Seymour Park.

“It’s kind of two-fold,” Tice said. “Gaming is going down and sponsorships are going down.”

In 2009, Tice said the team raised $179,000 in gaming and $56,000 in sponsorships. Gaming and sponsorships are the two major ways the Oilers raise money. In 2018, those numbers were down to $55,000 for gaming and $35,000 for sponsorships.

Tice said that from 2011 to 2013, the economy was in the tank and gaming has never gotten above $100,000 per year since then.

In June 2018, then-Gov. Bill Walker signed a smokefree workplace law for the state. The law didn’t take effect until Oct. 1, 2018, but the Oilers went smokefree at their bingo hall in June 2018. During the season, visiting teams stay at the bingo hall.

“We knew it was coming, so we instituted it a bit early,” Tice said. “We figured we might as well not have visiting players exposed to smoke.”

Tice said that once cold weather arrived, the bingo hall saw a drop in attendance.

“You’ve kind of got to

keep people’s attention when they are playing bingo and pull tabs,” Tice said. “If they go outside to smoke, they’re not playing pull tabs.”

Gaming was already going down, generating $20,000 less than fiscal 2016 in the fiscal year ending September 2017 and $19,000 less than fiscal 2017 for fiscal 2018.

“I really don’t want to lose another $20,000 this year, but we’re already way down,” Tice said.

Sponsorship is down because corporate sponsors have disappeared. Diana Tice said the corporate entities in town all used to have local representatives to run sponsorship pitches through. Those representatives are gone and Diana said she has no luck at corporate offices.

“We lost our big corporate sponsors,” Diana said. “Small businesses are what’s carrying us right now.”

The Oilers have cut expenses to the bone. Diana Tice is a part-time employee, while general manager Victoria Smith is, for the most part, a summer employee. The team added a fourth member to the coaching staff this season, but that was with the understanding that the coaching staff take over field maintenance. The coaches are now housed at the bingo hall.

According to Michael Tice, head coach Kyle Brown has been great about helping the team save money, putting in a conservative

bat order, then carrying the bats up here himself to save on shipping costs.

Tice said putting on a baseball season costs from $120,000 to $180,000, depending on how it’s calculated. There are certain costs that can’t be reduced, like the $35,000 for annual airfare costs. So the team will take help in any fashion, including airline miles.

“They can just write a check if they want,” Tice said. “At the same time, if people want to call us or pop in the office and say, ‘Hey, I’ve got an idea.’

“What we need is somebody to not just give us an idea, but also bring five people with them to make it happen. We’re staff-poor right now.”

The team also is doing things like raffles and selling root beer floats at each home game, and will have a fundraising cornhole tournament at the ballpark on July 21, with more details to come.

“For me, it’s like we’re playing small ball all summer,” Diana Tice said. “Every bit of fundraising we can do can add up.”

Michael said the team would like to raise $35,000 by the end of the season.

In an ideal world, the team would raise $100,000 for next season and be ready for another summer of baseball.

Tice said the team will have to decide by an Alaska

Baseball League meeting in October whether it is going to play next season, or take it off to get some money in the bank.

The team also does Little League camps in Kenai, Soldotna and Homer, gives out scholarships and has helped out with the Frontier Community Services World Series.

This year, the World Series has been taken over by the Kenai Centennial Savvy Lions, renamed Strides: World Series Baseball and will be held June 29 at Seymour Park.

“We’d like to thank everybody who has helped us already,” Tice said. “We’ve got some committed sponsors. Some of the local sponsors have given incredible help.”

What others say

One prosecution is enough The U.S. Supreme Court ruled

on Monday that if you are convicted in a state court of a criminal offense, the federal government can put you on trial again for essentially the same crime, and if you’re convicted, your new sentence can be added to your old one. In our view, that’s a violation of the Constitution’s prohibition against double jeopardy.

In 2015, Terance Gamble’s vehicle was searched at a traffic stop in Alabama and a gun was found.

Gamble, who had a robbery conviction on his record, pleaded guilty to a state charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and was sentenced to a year in prison. But he was also charged by the U.S. government for essentially the same crime arising from the same incident.

Gamble pleaded guilty to the federal charge as well, while preserving his right to challenge the second prosecution as a violation of the 5th Amendment’s command that no person shall be “subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.”

In our view, that’s a violation of the Constitution’s prohibition against double jeopardy.

The justices rejected his argument Monday by a 7-2 vote. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. cited the court’s longstanding view that the federal government and the states are separate “sovereigns” and that “a crime under one sovereign’s laws is not ‘the same offense’ as a crime under the laws of another sovereign.” Alito also emphasized that a ruling in Gamble’s favor would depart from “170 years of precedent.”

The court shouldn’t lightly cast aside precedents.

But there were several reasons for the court to do so in this case, as Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Neil M. Gorsuch argued in persuasive dissents that put the focus where it should be: on the injustice of subjecting anyone to two trials for the same crime.

Ginsburg questioned the notion that the federal government and the states are separate “sovereigns,” writing that it “overlooks a basic tenet of our federal system, namely that under the Constitution ultimate sovereignty resides in the governed.” But even if the separate sovereigns theory once made sense, Ginsburg suggested that things changed with Supreme Court’s decision in 1969 to apply the double jeopardy clause to the states as well as the federal government.

She’s correct. If federal and state prosecutions are governed by the same constitutional rules, the double jeopardy clause prohibits successive prosecutions regardless of which level of government files the indictment.

In his dissent, Gorsuch pithily described the consequences of the majority’s reasoning: “My colleagues say that the federal government and each state are ‘separate sovereigns’ entitled to try the same person for the same crime. So if all the might of one ‘sovereign’ cannot succeed against the presumptively free individual, another may insist on the chance to try again. And if both manage to succeed, so much the better; they can add one punishment on top of the other.”

The concerns expressed by Ginsburg and Gorsuch aren’t new. In a powerful dissent in a 1959 decision, the late Justice Hugo Black wrote: “If double punishment is what is feared, it hurts no less for two ‘sovereigns’ to inflict it than for one.”

There are a few situations in which one can justify separate state and federal prosecutions arising from the same events. The U.S. Department of Justice has brought federal civil rights prosecutions against defendants acquitted in state court of crimes of violence against racial minorities. But Ginsburg suggested in her dissent that federal civil rights laws and state laws criminalizing assault are different enough to qualify as separate “offenses.”

The state and federal charges against Gamble were aimed at the same crime and motivated by the same purpose: to punish felons found to be in the possession of a firearm. The court should have ruled that, under the Constitution, one prosecution was enough.

Budget climate puts higher education at risk A laska V oices J im J ohnsen In this austere budget environment, and after intense scrutiny, the Legislature passed a budget that includes a reasonable $5 million general fund reduction for the University of Alaska.

In the next few days, the governor will decide whether the state will continue its investment in the university — allowing Alaskans of all ages to carry on, uninterrupted, with their vocational, continuing or higher education — or veto a large portion of the UA budget.

Make no mistake, the university cannot absorb an additional, substantial reduction in state general funds without abruptly halting numerous student career pathways mid-stream, eliminating services, or shutting down community campuses or universities.

An additional reduction of even $10 million — on top of the $51 million in cuts we’ve already taken — will mean the discontinuation of programs and services with little or no notice, and that in turn will have ripple effects, damaging UA’s ability to generate revenue and causing even greater harm across the state.

Severe reductions in state Undesignated General Fund (UGF) as originally proposed by the governor

would require closure of hundreds of programs and affect thousands of students. To provide context for such a reduction, $134 million is nearly the equivalent of the total UGF budget for UAA and UAS combined. At that level we may need to cut whole programs or close one or more of our universities, UAA, UAF or UAS. But a university system is not like a typical corporation or factory; it needs a critical mass of faculty with different specialties to provide a quality education. Eliminating whole programs to reduce costs does not eliminate our responsibility to affected students. We are obligated to complete their programs, which carries costs that delay any immediate savings.

The university’s total budget this year is comprised of $327 million from the state (about 40% ). The remainder comes from tuition and fees paid by our students, research grants and contracts, proceeds from land development, and private donations. However, those private revenue sources will inevitably be harmed if general fund support is reduced.

Prior cuts have had the effect of reducing opportunities for our students and services to our communities, while increasing tuition. The cumulative reduction in the university’s budget of $195 million over the last five years has resulted in significant reductions in administrative staff and services, to the point that further reductions will compromise UA’s ability to meet its many obligations.

Indeed, the university’s statewide administration, which provides consolidated support services, has taken a 37% cut over the last several years, almost triple the average cut across the university system.

Still, the university remains a highly accessible and affordable path to an excellent education and the opportunities that only education can provide in the workplace. However, that will not continue with further substantial reductions.

We have had numerous meetings with the governor and his team, demonstrating how the university has focused its mission, reduced costs, increased private fundraising, developed strategic plans with measurable goals, created a task force to look at the university’s structure, and developed an exciting vision for how the university enables Alaskans to create a strong and sustainable future for our state.

The governor was receptive, and I think impressed with the work that’s been accomplished by the university.

However, he may feel compelled to follow through with his original proposal to reduce the university’s appropriation.

As a result, if the governor vetoes a substantial amount, I ask that you contact your legislator to request that he or she consider overriding that veto. The educational investments and opportunities for thousands of Alaskans will depend on it.

And at that time hundreds of oldtimers had retired from the state salmon fishery. But when it was discovered that there was a property right attached to the permits, hundreds of these fishermen opted not to retire but rather applied and qualified for salmon entry permits statewide.

So rather than reducing the effort on salmon, the effort was increased by several hundred units of fishing gear in all districts of the state. Thus defeating the whole purpose of the limited entry program’s reduction efforts.

Thousands of Alaskans may recall having salmon, halibut, scallops and prawns several times per week as a healthy diet for their families.

But as a result of limited entry and quota shares in the above said species, I personally know of no work-

ing family that can afford $18 to $27 per pound fish for dinner at night for their families.

In my 60-plus years in Alaska’s fishery, I recall red salmon I was paid .75 $ each for. In the ’60s in Kodiak, I sold king crab at the dock for .8 cents per pound and by the 1980s the governments of the U.S. and Canada gave a multibillion dollar halibut fishery to a handful of elitist vessel owners in Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., most of whom are now millionaires. So I find myself asking when was it that a government license became a property right in a capitalist nation.

So much for the good intentions of the 8th amendment of Alaska’s Constitution.

Jim Johnsen is the president of the University of Alaska.

Letter to the Editor A betrayal of Alaska’s 8th amendment In the Alaska government’s gift of a multimillion dollar salmon resource to a handful of resident and nonresident commercial fishermen, they made a small number of resident and nonresident fishermen very wealthy people — at the expense of thousands of Alaskans, who as a result, were denied their constitutional right of access to a common resource, guaranteed and provided for in the 8th Amendment to Alaska’s Constitution, section 3.

The goal of the California entry commissioners brought into the state of Alaska by the Legislature was to invoke an entry program that would reduce the number of gear units in the state’s salmon fishery.

2020 Democrats strongly defend abortion rights at forum

By WILL WEISSERT Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Twenty Democratic presidential candidates attending a Planned Parenthood forum on Saturday vowed to defend abortion rights under nearly any circumstance while largely ignoring nuances around the issue that have already roiled their party heading into the 2020 election.

The event sponsored by Planned Parenthood Action Fund — the group's political arm — was the first of the election season centered on abortion. It came on the sidelines of the South Carolina Democratic Party's state convention, a pivotal gathering of the party faithful in the South's first primary state.

The candidates were united in decrying a series of tough, recent abortion restrictions approved by Republican-controlled legislatures around the country geared to ultimately provoke a Supreme Court case that could overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.

Those efforts have come alongside attempts to strip taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood, which abortion rights advocates and some leading medical groups say would make it harder for lowincome women to get access to basic health care, not only abortion.

"We've been on defense for 47 years and it's not working," Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion. Warren, who turned 70 on Saturday, said trying to restrict abortion

usually boils down to sexism.

"You're not going to lock women back in the kitchen. You're not going to tell us what to do," she declared, eliciting a standing ovation from hundreds in the crowd, many sporting pink Planned Parenthood T-shirts.

Most Democratic voters support abortion rights, though the issue doesn't always energize the party's base in South Carolina and other conservative states.

Despite that, the Democrats vying for the chance to try and unseat President Donald Trump next year were unwavering in their support for the procedure and in their defense of Planned Parenthood — showing just how far the party has moved compared to presidential races in recent memory.

Trump postpones nationwide immigration enforcement sweep

By COLLEEN LONG and LISA MASCARO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Saturday delayed a nationwide immigration sweep to deport people living the United States illegally, including families, saying he would give lawmakers two weeks to work out solutions for the southern border.

The move came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Trump on Friday asking him to call off the raids.

But three administration officials said scrapping the operation was not just about politics. They said Immigration and Customs Enforcement leaders had expressed serious concerns that officers’ safety would be in jeopardy because too many details about the raids had been made public.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to speak about private discussions.

“At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “If not, Deportations start!”

The operation, which sparked outrage and concern among immigrant advocates, had been expected to begin Sunday and would target people with final orders of removal, including families whose immigration cases had been fasttracked by judges.

The cancellation was another sign of the Trump administration’s difficulty managing

the border crisis. The number of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has risen dramatically under Trump, despite his tough rhetoric and hard-line policies.

Balancing a White House eager to push major operational changes with the reality on the ground is a constant challenge for the Department of Homeland Security.

Trump gave the first public word of the planned sweep earlier this week, saying in a tweet that an operation was coming up and the agency would begin to remove “millions” of people who were in the United States illegally. Later, leaks to the media included sensitive law enforcement details, such as the day it was to begin, Sunday, plus specific cities and other operational details.

On Saturday, ICE spokeswoman Carol Danko criticized the leaks in context of their po-

tential impact on ICE personnel, saying in a statement that “any leaks telegraphing sensitive law enforcement operations is egregious and puts our officers’ safety in danger.”

Pelosi called Trump on Friday night and the two spoke for about 12 minutes, according to a person familiar with the situation and not authorized to discuss it publicly. She asked him to call off the raids and he said he would consider the request, the person said.

It’s unclear what else was said during the call. But in a statement Saturday before the president’s decision was announced, Pelosi appealed to the same compassion Trump expressed in declining to strike Iran because of the potential for lost lives.

“The President spoke about the importance of avoiding the collateral damage of 150 lives in

Iran. I would hope he would apply that same value to avoiding the collateral damage to tens of thousands of children who are frightened by his actions,” she said.

She called the raids “heartless.”

Pelosi responded to Trump’s announcement with her own tweet, saying: “Mr. President, delay is welcome. Time is needed for comprehensive immigration reform. Families belong together.”

Halting the flow of illegal immigration has been Trump’s signature campaign issue, but Congress has been unable to push his proposals into law with resistance from both Democrats and Republicans.

Bipartisan talks over the immigration system have started and stalled but are again underway among some in the Senate.

AP sources: US struck Iranian military computers this week

By TAMI ABDOLLAH Associated Press

WASHINGTON — U.S. military cyber forces launched a strike against Iranian military computer systems on Thursday as President Donald Trump backed away from plans for a more conventional military strike in response to Iran’s downing of a U.S. surveillance drone, U.S. officials said Saturday.

Two officials told The Associated Press that the strikes were conducted with approval from Trump. A third official confirmed the broad outlines of the strike. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the operation.

The cyberattacks — a contingency plan developed over weeks amid escalating tensions — disabled Iranian computer systems that controlled its rocket and missile launchers, the officials said. Two of the officials said the attacks, which specifically targeted Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps computer system, were provided as options after Iranian forces blew up two oil tankers earlier this month.

The IRGC, which was designated a foreign terrorist group by the Trump administration earlier this year, is a branch of the Iranian military.

The action by U.S. Cyber Command was a demonstration of the U.S.’s increasingly mature cyber military capabilities and its more aggressive cyber strategy under the Trump administration. Over the last year U.S. officials have focused on persistently engaging with adversaries in cyberspace and undertaking more offensive operations.

Tensions have escalated between the two countries ever since the U.S. withdrew last year from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and began a policy of “maximum pressure.” Iran has since been hit by multiple

rounds of sanctions. Tensions spiked this past week after Iran shot down an unmanned U.S. drone — an incident that nearly led to a U.S. military strike against Iran on Thursday evening.

The cyberattacks are the latest chapter in the U.S. and Iran’s ongoing cyber operations targeting the other. Yahoo News first reported the cyber strike.

In recent weeks, hackers believed to be working for the Iranian government have targeted U.S. government agencies, as well as sectors of the economy, including finance, oil and gas, sending waves of spearphishing emails, according to representatives of cybersecurity companies CrowdStrike and FireEye, which regularly track such activity. This new campaign appears to have started shortly after the Trump administration imposed sanctions on the Iranian petrochemical sector this month.

It was not known if any of the hackers managed to gain access to the targeted networks with the emails, which typically mimic legitimate emails but contain malicious software.

Tensions have run high between the two countries since the U.S. withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran last year and began a policy of “maximum pressure.” Iran has since been hit by multiple rounds of sanctions. Then Iran shot down an unmanned U.S. drone this week.

“Both sides are desperate to know what the other side is thinking,” said John Hultquist, director of intelligence analysis at FireEye. “You can absolutely expect the regime to be leveraging every tool they have available to reduce the uncertainty about what’s going to happen next, about what the U.S.’s next move will be.”

CrowdStrike shared images of the spear-phishing emails with the AP. One such email that was confirmed by FireEye appeared

to come from the Executive Office of the President and seemed to be trying to recruit people for an economic adviser position.

Another email was more generic and appeared to include details on updating Microsoft Outlook’s global address book.

The Iranian actor involved in the cyberattack, dubbed “Refined Kitten” by CrowdStrike, has for years targeted the U.S. energy and defense sectors, as well as allies such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, said Adam Meyers, vice president of intelligence at CrowdStrike.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement released Saturday that its agency tasked with infrastructure security has been aware of a recent rise in malicious cyber activities directed at U.S. government agencies

by Iranian regime actors and proxies.

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher C. Krebs said the agency has been working with the intelligence community and cybersecurity partners to monitor Iranian cyber activity and ensure the U.S. and its allies are safe.

“What might start as an account compromise, where you think you might just lose data, can quickly become a situation where you’ve lost your whole network,” Krebs said.

The National Security Agency would not discuss Iranian cyber actions specifically, but said in a statement to the AP on Friday that “there have been serious issues with malicious Iranian cyber actions in the past.”

“In these times of heightened tensions, it is appropriate for everyone to be alert to signs of Iranian aggression in cyberspace and ensure appropriate defenses are in place,” the NSA said.

Iran has long targeted the U.S. oil and gas sectors and

other critical infrastructure, but those efforts dropped significantly after the nuclear agreement was signed. After Trump withdrew the U.S. from the deal in May 2018, cyber experts said they have seen an increase in Iranian hacking efforts.

North Korea: Kim receives ‘excellent’ letter from Trump SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — President Donald Trump sent North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a letter, a government-controlled news agency reported Sunday.

Kim “said with satisfaction that the letter is of excellent content,” the Korean Central News Agency reported.

“Appreciating the political judging faculty and extraordinary courage of President Trump, Kim Jong Un said that he would seriously contemplate the interesting content,” the agency said.

The White House declined to confirm that Trump had sent a letter to Kim. Nuclear talks between the U.S. and North Korea broke down after the failed summit between Kim and Trump in February in Vietnam.

The U.S. is demanding that North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons entirely before international sanctions are lifted. North Korea is seeking a step-by-step approach in which moves toward denuclearization are matched by concessions from the U.S., notably a relaxation of the sanctions.

The North Korean report on Trump’s letter came days after Kim’s summit with visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping, which experts say underscored China’s emergence as a major player in the diplomatic push to re-

solve the nuclear standoff with the North.

North Korean state media said Kim and Xi discussed the political situation surrounding the Korean Peninsula and reached unspecified consensus on important issues.

Xi is expected to meet with Trump next week in Japan. Analysts say he could pass him a message from Kim about the nuclear negotiations.

Kim during his annual New Year’s speech said he would seek a “new way” if the United States persists with sanctions and pressure against North Korea. Following the collapse of his meeting with Trump in Hanoi over disagreements in exchanging sanctions relief and disarmament, Kim said Washington has until the end of the year to offer mutually acceptable terms for a deal to salvage the negotiations.

Trump and Kim exchanged letters in 2018 after a summit in Singapore to discuss the nuclear issue.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at the time that the letters addressed their commitment to work toward North Korea’s “complete denuclearization.”

In September 2018, Trump told a cheering crowd at a campaign rally in West Virginia that Kim “wrote me beautiful letters and they’re great letters. We fell in love.”

Around the Nation Climate change protesters arrested outside New York Times NEW YORK — Police say 70 climate change protesters were arrested after they blocked traffic outside the New York Times building.

The protesters from the group Extinction Rebellion hung banners on the skyscraper in midtown Manhattan on Saturday and on the outside of the Port Authority Bus Terminal across the street.

The protesters were taken into police custody after they lay down on Eighth Avenue and blocked traffic.

Charges are pending.

A spokeswoman for Extinction Rebellion, Eve Mosher, says the group wants the media to report on “the climate emergency” so that “people can start pushing for more radical responses.”

A Times spokeswoman says in an email that no national news organization devotes more resources to covering climate change than the Times.

Climate protesters storm open-pit mine

Device to trap plastic waste in Pacific Ocean relaunches

HOCHNEUKIRCH, Germany — Hundreds of environmental activists broke through a police cordon to enter one of Germany’s biggest lignite coal mines Saturday, determined to draw attention to the urgency of climate change after a plan to make the European Union carbon neutral by 2050 failed to find agreement.

Police ordered the activists to leave the vast, open-pit Garzweiler mine in western Germany, citing life-threatening dangers. German news agency dpa reported that some officers were hurt, but didn’t have any further details.

The occupation was among several demonstrations near the mine and adjacent power plants that attracted thousands of people to the village of Hochneukirch and surrounding Rhineland areas.

Earlier Saturday, dozens of protesters temporarily blocked railroad tracks used to transport coal. The vast majority of rallies and protests remained peaceful.

The mine has been a focus of environmental protests in recent years because the operator, German utility company

SAN FRANCISCO — A floating device designed to catch plastic waste has been redeployed in second attempt to clean up a huge island of trash swirling in the Pacific Ocean between California and Hawaii.

Boyan Slat, creator of The Ocean Cleanup project, announced on Twitter that a 2,000-foot long floating boom that broke apart late last year was sent back to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch this week after four months of repair.

A ship towed the U-shaped barrier from San Francisco to the patch in September to trap the plastic. But during the four months at sea, the boom broke apart under constant waves and wind and the boom wasn’t retaining the plastic it caught.

“Hopefully nature doesn’t have too many surprises in store for us this time,” Slat tweeted. “Either way, we’re set to learn a lot from this campaign.”

Fitted with solar-powered lights, cameras, sensors and satellite antennas, the device intends to communicate its position at all times, allowing a support vessel to fish out the collected plastic every few months and transport it to dry land.

The plastic barrier with a tapered 10-foot-deep screen is intended to act like a coastline, trapping some of the 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic that scientists estimate are swirling in the patch while allowing marine life to safely swim beneath it.

During its first run, the organization said marine biologists on board the support vessel did not observe any environmental impact.

Slat has said he hopes one day to deploy 60 of the devices to skim plastic debris off the surface of the ocean.

RWE, planned to cut down a forest to enlarge it.

“It’s important to increase the pressure on the government,” protester Selma Schubert said. “The government doesn’t do enough against climate change.”

Participants in the Saturday protests held banners calling for climate protection and sang songs as they marched.

According to German environmental group Bund, more

than 8,000 people took part.

“You’re building a movement, that’s beautiful,” Seimi Rowin, who came from Scotland to protest, said. “But we need to get to the next step … otherwise future generations will pay for it.”

Following months of climate protests by students and a sharp rise in the polls for Germany’s Green party, Chancellor Angela Merkel recently threw her weight behind the goal of mak-

ing Germany climate neutral by 2050. That would mean the country’s economy no longer would add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

Scientists say ending fossil fuel use by mid-century is a must if countries want to achieve the 2015 Paris climate accord’s most ambitious goal of keeping global temperatures from rising more than 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit compared to pre-industrial times.

White House unveils $50 billion Palestinian economic plan

By MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Saturday unveiled a $50 billion Palestinian investment and infrastructure proposal intended to be the economic engine to power its much-anticipated but still unreleased “deal of the century” Middle East peace plan.

The scheme, which calls for a mix of public and private financing and intends to create at least a million new jobs for Palestinians, was posted to the White House website ahead of a two-day conference in Bahrain that is being held amid heavy skepticism about its viability and outright opposition from the Palestinians. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday reiterated his rejection of the proposal and the conference.

The “Peace to Prosperity” workshop on Tuesday and Wednesday will also take place amid heightened regional tensions over Iran that threaten to overshadow its goals.

With no official participation from the two main protagonists, Israel and the Palestinians, and scant enthusiasm from others, continued uncertainty and

strong doubts over the plan’s political vision and the distraction of potential U.S.-Iran conflict, expectations are decidedly low. President Donald Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner faces high hurdles in building support for the initiative.

The 10-year plan calls for projects worth $27.5 billion in the West Bank and Gaza, and $9.1 billion, $7.4 billion and $6.3 billion for Palestinians in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, respectively. Projects envisioned include those in the health care, education, power, water, hightech, tourism, and agriculture sectors. It calls for the creation of a “master fund” to administer the finances and implementation of the projects that is says are akin to the Marshall Plan that rebuilt Europe after World War II. The plan foresees more than doubling the Palestinian gross domestic product, reducing the Palestinian poverty rate by 50 percent and cutting the sky-high Palestinian unemployment rate to nearly single digits, according to the documents, which do not specify exactly how the projects will be funded.

It also calls for linking the West Bank and Gaza with a modern transportation net-

work, including high-speed rail service. Such ideas have been floated in the past in previous peace proposals but have run into Israeli security concerns.

“Generations of Palestinians have lived under adversity and loss, but the next chapter can be defined by freedom and dignity,” the White House said, calling the plan “the most ambitious international effort for the Palestinian people to date.”

But an already tough sell that has vexed U.S. administrations for decades is made tougher not least because Trump and his aides have refused to endorse a two-state solution to the conflict that has long been seen as the only viable path to lasting peace. They have also suggested they are open to unilateral Israeli annexation of occupied territory in the West Bank. And, officials say there is no intention of discussing either issue or the most contentious parts of their proposal to end the long-running conflict.

Thus, the core political issues that are key to resolving the dispute, such as borders, the status of the holy city of Jerusalem, Israel’s security and the fate of Palestinian refugees, will not be raised. Such matters, U.S. officials have said, may have to wait until the fall, after Israeli elec-

tions, leaving numerous questions that potential investors almost certainly want answers to before making even tentative financial commitments.

Palestinian leaders, angered by what they and their supporters see as blatant U.S. bias toward Israel, want nothing to do with the workshop and will not participate. The Palestinians have called for mass demonstrations against the conference on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

“The plan cannot pass because it ends the Palestinian cause,” Abbas said on Saturday.

“We are not going to attend this workshop, the reason is that the economic situation should not be discussed before a political situation, so long as there is no political situation, we do not deal with any economic situation.”

An economic adviser to Abbas said projects envisaged in the U.S. proposal could be considered, but only after the political question is agreed upon.

“Yes, we need to build the infrastructure, the investment, the tourism sector … but that cannot come before ending the Israeli occupation,” Mohammed Mustafa, head of Palestinian Investment Fund, told The Associated Press.

2 finalists in UK leadership race make pitch

By SYLVIA HUI Associated Press

LONDON — The two finalists in the race to lead Britain’s governing Conservative Party — and become the country’s new prime minister — made their first formal pitches to party members Saturday, both vowing to be the right man to deliver Brexit.

Ex-foreign secretary and former London mayor Boris Johnson, the runaway favorite of Tory lawmakers, faced off with Jeremy Hunt, the current foreign secretary, at a Conservative conference in central England’s Birmingham.

Opening his address with a focus on delivering Britain’s stalled exit from the European Union, Johnson told the audience “We need to get Brexit done” and be prepared to leave the EU without a withdrawal deal in place.

“I am here to tell you that in all confidence we can turn this thing around,” he said.

“I am utterly convinced that with the right energy and the right commitment, common sense will prevail. But just in

case it does not, we must prepare to come out anyway.”

Johnson has won backing from the Conservative Party’s die-hard Brexiteers by insisting the U.K. must leave the bloc on the rescheduled date of Oct. 31, with or without a divorce agreement with the EU to smooth the way.

Both Johnson and Hunt said they would succeed in seeing Britain out of the EU, a challenge that defeated Prime Minister Theresa May. She quit as Conservative leader earlier this month after repeatedly failing to win Parliament’s backing for her Brexit deal and will leave 10 Downing Street when her successor is selected.

Hunt pitched himself as the better negotiator, warning that “catastrophe awaits,” if the wrong leader is sent to Brussels for talks with EU leaders.

“If we send the wrong person, there’s going to be no negotiation, no trust, no deal, and if Parliament stops that, maybe no Brexit,” he said. “Send the right person, and there’s a deal to be done.”

For the party conference in Birmingham, both contenders

were given time to make a short speech before answering questions from the host and audience members.

The Saturday “hustings” was the first of more than a dozen such party meetings set to take place across Britain in coming days.

Johnson refused to comment when asked about a police visit early Friday to the London home he shares with partner Carrie Symonds after a neighbor reported an altercation. The incident dominated news headlines in Britain on Saturday.

The Guardian newspaper said neighbors reported hearing screaming, shouting and banging inside the home. The responding officers found all the

occupants “safe and well” and no legal offenses were committed, police said.

Johnson said the public could judge his character and ambition by his track record as London mayor and his plans for the country.

Iran state TV: Ex-Defense Ministry staffer hanged for spying TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s state TV says authorities have executed a former staff member of the Defense Ministry who was convicted of spying for the CIA. The Saturday report says Jalal Hajizavar was hanged last week in a prison near Tehran.

The report said Hajzavar admitted in court that he was paid to spy for the CIA. The report said authorities also confiscated espionage equipment from his residence.

It said the court sentenced Haizavar’s wife to 15 years in prison for her role in the espionage.

Occasionally, Iran announces the detention of spies from foreign countries, including the U.S. and Israel.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 23, 1972, President Richard Nixon and White House chief of staff H.R. Haldeman discussed using the CIA to obstruct the FBI’s Watergate investigation. (Revelation of the tape recording of this conversation sparked Nixon’s resignation in 1974.) President Nixon signed Title IX barring discrimination on the basis of sex for “any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

On this date: In 1537, Spanish explorer Pedro de Mendoza, the founder of Buenos Aires, died aboard his ship while heading back to Spain.

In 1836, Congress approved the Deposit Act, which contained a provision for turning over surplus federal revenue to the states.

In 1868, Christopher Latham Sholes received a patent for his “Type-Writer,” featuring a QWERTY keyboard; it was the first commercially successful typewriter.

In 1892, the Democratic National Convention in Chicago nominated former President Grover Cleveland on the first ballot.

In 1938, the Civil Aeronautics Authority was established.

In 1947, the Senate joined the House in overriding President Harry S. Truman’s veto of the Taft-Hartley Act, designed to limit the power of organized labor.

In 1968, a syndicated newspaper column by Joseph Kraft coined the term “Middle America.”

In 1969, Warren E. Burger was sworn in as chief justice of the United States by the man he was succeeding, Earl Warren.

In 1985, all 329 people aboard an Air India Boeing 747 were killed when the plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Ireland because of a bomb authorities believe was planted by Sikh separatists.

In 1988, James E. Hansen, a climatologist at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told a Senate panel that global warming of the earth caused by the “greenhouse effect” was a reality.

In 1995, Dr. Jonas Salk, the medical pioneer who developed the first vaccine to halt the crippling rampage of polio, died in La Jolla (HOY’-ah), California, at age 80.

Ten years ago: Hardening the U.S. reaction to Iran’s disputed elections and bloody aftermath, President Barack Obama condemned the violence against protesters and lent his strongest support yet to their accusations that the hardline victory was a fraud. “Tonight Show” sidekick Ed McMahon died in Los Angeles at 86. Dr. Jerri Nielsen FitzGerald, who’d diagnosed and treated her own breast cancer before a dramatic rescue from a South Pole station, died in Southwick, Massachusetts, at 57.

Five years ago: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, visiting Baghdad, told leaders of Iraq’s factions they had to keep their commitments to seat a new parliament before a Sunni insurgency swept away hopes for a lasting peace. President Barack Obama, speaking at the White House Summit on Working Families, said the United States should join the rest of the industrialized world and offer paid leave for mothers of newborns.

Dominik Hasek (HAH’-shik), Peter Forsberg, Rob Blake, Mike Modano (moh-DAH’-noh) and coach Pat Burns and referee Bill McCreary were elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

One year ago: Trump administration officials said the government knew the location of all children in its custody after separating them from their families at the border, and that it was working to reunite them. The Vatican tribunal convicted a former Holy See diplomat, Monsignor Carlo Capella, and sentenced him to five years in prison for possessing and distributing child pornography.

Oilers snap skid Peninsula holds off Chinooks

The Peninsula Oilers snapped a four-game losing skid Saturday night with a tight 6-5 Alaska Baseball League victory over the Chugiak/Eagle River Chinooks at Chugiak’s Lee Jordan Field.

The Oilers (6-10) scored three runs in the top of the sixth inning to take a tworun lead, then made it stand — barely — as the Chinooks threatened to come back in the ninth.

Friday at Hermon Brothers Field in Palmer, the Oil-

ers lost 11-5 to the Mat-Su Miners to drop their fourth straight, all to the Miners in a series sweep.

The Oilers will play three more road games before returning home, starting today with a 2 p.m. game with the Chinooks. The Oilers continue with a 7 p.m. Monday meeting in Chugiak and a 7 p.m. Tuesday contest in Anchorage with the Bucs.

Skyler Messinger went 3 for 4 with an RBI, while Giancarlo Servin was 2 for 4 and Jaden Fein went 1 for 3 with two RBIs. Jake Adams started for the

Oilers but lasted four innings before Drew Thorpe entered in relief and was credited with the win. Thorpe gave up a run on two walks in the fifth inning, while Adams gave up three runs on one hit and six walks in four innings of work.

Servin pitched three scoreless frames of relief for Peninsula with one hit and three walks and five strikeouts, while Damon Keith earned the save with one inning, giving up a run on two hits and one walk with one strikeout.

Twins sweep doubleheader Post 20 walks off on Service in league game

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Legion AA Twins had chance after chance to score against the Service Cougars, but nothing worked until the last moment in a wild finish Saturday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park.

The Twins rallied from a three-run hole in the bottom of the seventh to win 8-7 on a walk-off, taking advantage of an error by Service’s third baseman on a ground-

er by Tanner Ussing to end the game.

The Twins then won the nonleague game 10-0 over the Cougars for Post 20’s fourth straight win, pushing their league record to 3-2 and 5-4 overall this summer.

Trailing 7-4 in the seventh, the rally got started with a leadoff bloop single

by Davey Belger, followed by a walk by Jeremy Kupferschmid and a single up the middle by David Michael to load the bases with See TWINS, page B4

Germany, Norway advance

By The Associated Press

NICE, France — Ingrid Hjelmseth proved to be a shootout hero once again as Norway beat Australia on penalties Saturday night to advance to the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup. Hjelmseth saved Emily Gielnik’s kick and Ingrid Engen, who is playing in her first World Cup, hit the decisive penalty as Norway won the shootout 4-1 after the match had finished 1-1.

Australia captain Sam Kerr, who was frustrated by Norway most of the night despite several opportunities, fired her penalty shot high and wide.

“It was a great win,” Hjelmseth said. “I was just

focusing and picking a side when they put the ball down.

I was just telling myself, ‘OK, I will go to the right,’ and then I took a chance and it was good for us, it was the right side.”

Hjelmseth saved two penalties in her last shootout — the semifinal of the 2013 European Championship.

“That was a good one,” she said. “I think when you’re a goalie you can only be a hero so it’s just about picking a side and just finding the right timing to go so you don’t get the VAR stuff.”

Norway will face the winner of Sunday’s game between England and Cam-

eroon.

The shootout came after a game during which neither team had a clear advantage, though Norway succeeded in keeping Australia’s Kerr from being much of factor.

Kerr had a goal ruled out in the second half after offside was called. Australia also had two penalties denied on video review in normal time.

The game went to extra time after Australia’s Elise Kellond-Knight scored from a corner to make it a 1-1 game in the 83rd minute.

Forward Isabell Herlovsen put Norway up 1-0 with a goal in the 31st.

USMNT crushes Trinidad in Gold Cup

By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND — The only embarrassment and shame was felt on the other side.

Two years later, the U.S. soccer team turned the tables on Trinidad and Tobago.

Gyasi Zardes scored two goals in a three-minute span, Christian Pulisic added one during a five-goal barrage in the second half and the Americans unloaded on their nemesis in a 6-0 blowout in the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Saturday night, earning a small dose of revenge over the team that handed them a nightmarish loss in 2017.

Aaron Long scored his first two international goals — one with his head, the other off his chest — and Paul Arriola scored as the U.S. tallied five times in 25 minutes while cruising to its second shutout this week and advancing to the quarterfinals in Philadelphia on June 30.

It was the first matchup between the U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago since Oct. 10, 2017, when the Americans, needing only a tie to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, lost 2-1 to the Soca Warriors.

The embarrassing defeat snapped a streak of seven straight World Cup appearances by the Americans and triggered a top-to-bottom overhaul of the men’s program, which has operated in the imposing shadow of the powerful U.S. women, seeking their fourth world title in France.

There would be no repeat performance by this revamped U.S. team, which is determined to win back global respect.

“Every time we step on the field we want to make a statement,” said Zardes,

‘For us, we advance to the next round. That’s important. Our focus was to prepare for this game knowing that if we’d be able to go to the next round. That was the focus of the group. Trinidad was in our way.’

— Gregg Berhalter, USMNT coach who just missed getting a third goal. “We’re trying to change the way the world views American soccer.”

The Americans posted their most lopsided win since beating Honduras 6-0 in a World Cup qualifier on March 24, 2017, when Pulisic, who took over this game in the second half, also scored and had a pair of assists.

But while much of the pre-game talk centered on the U.S. getting payback, the Americans insist they’ve put the past behind them.

“For us, we advance to the next round,” coach Gregg Berhalter said.

“That’s important. Our focus was to prepare for this game knowing that if we’d be able to go to the next round. That was the focus of the group. Trinidad was in our way.”

Not anymore.

With the U.S. leading 1-0 on Long’s goal in the 41st minute, Zardes scored from right in front shortly after U.S. goalkeeper Zack Steffen made a diving save

USWNT agrees to mediation REIMS, France (AP) — U.S. Soccer and players for the women’s national team have tentatively agreed to mediate a lawsuit that accuses the federation of gender discrimination and seeks equitable pay.

The federation and representatives for the players confirmed the agreement, first reported in the Wall Street Journal, to pursue mediation following the Women’s World Cup. “Here to win a World Cup, lawyers are at home to do their thing, so we both have our jobs,” defender Kelley O’Hara said Saturday.

“This team has always been good at compartmentalizing. We focus on the task at hand and I haven’t paid any mind on anything that’s been going on. That’s something we’ll pick back up when we get home but right now my only focus is winning the World Cup.” The United States, the defending champion and three-time World Cup winner, won its first three games of the tournament and is set to play Spain on Monday in the knockout stage. The championship game is set for July 7 in Lyon.

Twenty-eight members of the current player pool filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles in March. The lawsuit alleges “institutionalized gender discrimination” that includes inequitable compensation when compared with their counterparts on the men’s national team.

“While we welcome the opportunity to mediate, we are disappointed the plaintiffs’ counsel felt it necessary to share this news publicly during the Women’s World Cup and create any possible distraction from the team’s focus on the tournament and success on the field,” U.S. Soccer said in a statement.

to stop Trinidad from tying a match the Americans dominated.

Michael Bradley chipped the ball from the left side to a charging Nick Lima, who headed the ball to Zardes in front.

The American striker only had to guide it by Trinidad keeper Marvin Phillip in the 65th minute. Two minutes later, Zardes buried a hard shot from the left side for his 10th international goal and second two-goal game for the Americans.

Zardes nearly completed a hat trick, but his low shot from up top in the 70th minute hit the left upright.

Next up for the Americans is a matchup with Panama on Wednesday in Kansas City, Kansas. The Panamanians improved to

2-0 in Group D of the 16team tournament with a 4-2 win over Guyana, also clinching a quarterfinal berth.

On a picture-perfect night along the shores of Lake Erie, the American team controlled possession and tempo while thoroughly outplaying T&T, which was blanked 2-0 by Panama in its opening match and was eliminated.

The Soca Warriors were content to sit back and let the U.S. attack, hoping to spring counters. They nearly connected in the 61st minute as Cordell Cato eluded three defenders on the right side and hit teammate Levi Garcia in stride.

But Garcia’s shot was high and wide, a close call that prompted a collective gasp

from the U.S. faithful.

“Big moment,” Trinidad coach Dennis Lawrence said. “When you get in that position, you have to put that away.”

Lawrence was upset with how his team collapsed following the U.S. team’s second goal.

“How can you play so good for 65 minutes and then so awful for the last 25?” he said, repeating his postgame message to his players. “We have to learn to stand up and fight. We lost focus and we paid the price.”

Berhalter stuck with the same starting lineup he used in the opener over Guyana but gave the captain’s arm band to Steffen for the first time. Bradley captained the Americans in the opening

4-0 win over Guyana.

Long, who plays in the MLS for the New York Red Bulls, put the U.S. ahead off a beautiful feed from the left side by Pulisic.

Shortly after the U.S. was awarded a free kick, the Americans kept pressing and maintained possession in Trinidad’s half before Pulisic spotted Long inside the 6-yard-box and delivered an arching pass to the forward, who left his feet, connected and drove the ball past a sprawling Phillip.

The score touched off a flag-waving celebration behind the goal by red-whiteand blue clad U.S. fans, who have been anxiously awaiting their team’s chance at some redemption.

After a 20-month wait, they got a little.

. . . Cup Continued from page B1

Australia had to play the final 16 minutes of extra time at a numerical disadvantage after defender Alanna Kennedy was sent off on a red card for hauling down Norway forward Lisa-Marie Utland.

Norway peppered Australia’s goal but was repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Lydia Williams.

“It was tough,” Kerr said. “A lot of the girls had already played a lot of minutes so we were already running on empty and then obviously Alanna getting sent off is not ideal but we stuck together.

We were still confident and believing in each other but it just didn’t come off tonight.”

Kerr ended the tournament tied with American Alex Morgan for the most goals at five.

“Only big players can miss penalties, because small players don’t take them,” coach Ante Milicic said when asked what he told Kerr after the match.

Australia was thwarted in its attempt to reach the quarterfinals for a fourth straight time.

“This team had high expecta-

tions and goals coming into this tournament so to go out this way it was pretty rough and I haven’t really wrapped my head around it I don’t think,” said defender Steph Catley, who had Australia’s only successful penalty kick during the shootout. “Doesn’t really feel like we’re out if that makes sense. It’s devastating.”

Germany 3, Nigeria 0 Alexandra Popp had just scored a go-ahead goal against Nigeria in her 100th international appearance when Japanese referee Yoshimi Yamashita signaled for a video review to determine whether a German teammate Svenja Huth, who was in an offside position, obstructed the view of goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie.

“I was a bit irritated to be honest,” the German captain said through a translator.

Popp’s goal stood, and a few minutes later the match was stopped for another video review, this time to determine whether Germany’s Lina Magull had been fouled in the penalty area by Evelyn Nwabuoko. Having seen the stud marks in her teammate’s leg, Popp was pleased the referee took

a look and awarded a penalty kick.

“Otherwise, I would have asked myself why we were using this technology,” Popp said, “so it was quite obvious in the pictures.”

Germany advanced to the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals for the eighth straight time, beating African champion Nigeria 3-0 Saturday at Grenoble, France.

Nigeria coach Thomas Dennerby endorsed VAR but said it caused disruptions.

“Football is also a game with a rhythm and if you break the rhythm sometimes that is not good,” he said. “It’s good for the game, but I don’t think anybody really has the final solution for VAR yet.”

Popp scored in the 20th minute.

Sara Däbritz made it 2-0 in the 27th with the penalty kick and Lea Schüller got the final goal in the 82nd.

“All the interruptions are quite difficult to handle, especially emotionally, but we tried to keep calm,” Germany coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg said through a translator. “Maybe they can speed up the whole process.”

Players are unsure when a video review will be signaled.

“It was a bit of insecurity through-

out the match because we didn’t quite know what was assessed in a certain moment,” Popp said. “But in general I think it’s important to have this sort of assessment.”

Second-ranked Germany, which has outscored opponents 9-0, plays the winner of Monday’s match between Sweden and Canada on June 29 at Rennes.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel called Voss-Tecklenburg after the match, “She congratulated us,” VossTecklenburg recalled. “She said she was very delighted.”

The weeklong layoff gives time for midfielder Dzsenifer Marozsán’s broken left middle toe to heal. Injured in the opening win over China on June 8, Marozsán recovered sufficiently to be available as a substitute Saturday if she had been needed.

“Based on today’s physical appearance, I would say she’s able to play the next match,” Voss-Tecklenburg said, The Germans, who won the tournament in 2003 and 2007, have never failed to reach the quarterfinals.

No. 38 Nigeria was in the knockout phase for the second time, the first since it lost in the

quarterfinals to Brazil in 1999, and it joined Cameroon to become the first pair of African teams to reach the knockout stage in the same Women’s World Cup. The Indomitable Lionesses play England on Sunday.

Popp scored on a 4-yard header off Magull’s corner kick, her 48th international goal.

Däbritz scored on a low penalty kick beyond the outstretched left hand of Nnadozie, her third goal of the tournament and 13th of her international career.

Nigeria had an excellent chance to cut its deficit in the 50th when second-half substitute Rasheedat Ajibade streaked up a flank and passed to an open Desire Oparanozie, but the ball was just ahead of the forward and rolled by.

Schüller got her ninth international goal following a giveaway

by Halimatu Ayinde.

The Super Falcons were missing defender Ngozi Ebere and midfielder Rita Chikwelu, who served suspensions for yellow card accumulation, and forward Asisat Oshoala, who was injured.

“I think we showed the whole world that Nigeria has a team that improved a lot,” Dennerby said.

“It’s going the right way.”

Pujols homers in return, but Cards win

NASCAR returns to action at Sonoma

By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

SONOMA, Calif. — The Cup Series drivers had a rare break from their grinding schedule last week, and they’re returning to competition at a NASCAR stop that sometimes feels like a vacation.

Most drivers have spent the week enjoying wine tasting sessions and extravagant meals at the wineries and restaurants nestled in Northern California’s beautiful rolling hills. They’re sleeping in luxury hotels instead of their usual luxury motor homes. Across the paddock, everybody seems to be in a good mood.

“Well, wait until Sunday,” points leader Joey Logano said with a smirk.

All that comfort and relaxation will be forgotten when the season resumes on a track with a high de-

gree of difficulty and potential for frustration. The first road course race of the season already challenges drivers with its elevation changes, and it got even trickier with a new layout this weekend: Sonoma is celebrating its 50th anniversary by reincorporating “The Carousel,” a wicked elevationchanging turn, for the first time in a NASCAR race since 1997.

An element of the unknown is usually a boost to entertainment value in motor sports, and the drivers are as curious as everybody else to see what will happen when the green flag drops. Most drivers are excited about it, even after spending the past two days furiously trying to figure out the best way to handle the Carousel — and whether they can go two-wide and pass in that stretch.

“It’s obviously more turns now, and that makes it more likely we’ll

get a timely caution to shake up the race,” Clint Bowyer said. “But nobody really knows what it will mean.”

Yet nobody will be surprised if the season’s best drivers to date have more success in Sonoma.

Kyle Busch has already won four times this year, while Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski have three victories apiece. Truex is the defending champion at Sonoma, and Busch — his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate — has won twice here.

“It’s certainly interesting to have the new layout,” Busch said.

“This place is always a challenge to pass at, and now I feel like there’s only two passing corners now, where before there might have been more.”

More things to watch from wine country: LARSON LEADS: Kyle Larson

will start on the pole for the third consecutive year in Sonoma, but he finished 26th and 14th in those previous two races. The Northern California native has never finished better than 12th on his home track, and he didn’t sound extraordinarily confident about his chances after winning the pole: “I feel like each year I’ve qualified here, I went really well, but made a lot of mistakes and knew there were a lot of opportunities for me to clean up my mistakes.”

TRACK EVOLUTION: The Carousel addition has forced the drivers to learn on the fly, but NASCAR is improvising as well.

After drivers repeatedly scattered dirt across the track while running wide on Turn 5 during practice Friday, NASCAR worked overnight to add an asphalt curb where the dirt had been. “I’m so glad they made that adjustment,” Ty Dillon

said. “I’m not going to run on it (in qualifying), but I think people will use it a lot tomorrow.”

GOLDEN CHANCE: California natives Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick haven’t won yet this season, but they’ve got reason to be optimistic. Harvick won at Sonoma in 2017 and has four top-10 finishes here in his last five starts. Johnson hasn’t won anywhere in more than two years, but the seven-time champ starts 11th on Sunday at the track where he won in 2010.

BOOGITY BYE: For those watching at home, the Fox telecast is likely to be a lengthy farewell to Darrell Waltrip, who is retiring from his commentary job after the race. The Hall of Fame driver has been involved in NASCAR since 1972, and he has been a prominent broadcaster since 2001, becoming a fixture in the sport’s public perception.

Trades take NHL draft’s thunder

one out.

Mose Hayes laced a grounder off the mound that helped him reach on an error by the Service second baseman, who couldn’t field it cleanly, allowing a run to score for a 7-5 game.

Seth Adkins then drew a walk to force in another run to cut it to 7-6, and Twins veteran Logan Smith used a squeeze bunt to bring home the tying run.

“I ended up having to trust Logan there, get mostly down the basepath and see if he could squeeze it in there,” said Michael, who scored the tying run.

Ussing then took a whack at the first pitch he saw, sending it down the third-base line and past the glove of Service’s Dawson Beaty, bringing home the winning run to end the game.

Ussing finished 2 for 4 in the first game to lead the Twins, and said his first-pitch swing that won it came on a near check swing.

“The first swing I got out in front, pulled off a little bit,” Ussing said. “I thought I was going to get thrown out.”

Twins coach Robb Quelland said having two veteran ball players like Michael and Smith playing the crucial roles on the squeeze bunt was huge.

“I knew (Smith) would give us the best effort on the team to put a bunt down,” he said.

“He wouldn’t cause an

tering the sixth inning, but the Oilers got things going with a leadoff single by Messinger. Later, Taylor Johnson scored to tie the game on a wild pitch, then the Oilers took the lead when Jaden Fein was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to force in a run. Connor McCord drove in another run on a fielder’s choice knock.

out for that runner on third, he would do what the team needed.”

Quelland said pulling off the three-run comeback gave him confidence that the team is beginning to see the improved batting from the lower end of the lineup.

“Our eight and nine guys aren’t outs by any means,” Quelland said.

“Most teams would be seven-eight-nine going, ‘Oh no’, and we’re like, ‘Yes!’ “It was good energy, they showed patience, they grew by leaps and bounds.”

Prior to the dramatic finish, the Twins struggled with four errors on the day and also had trouble getting the timely hits. Post 20 left the bases loaded twice, first in the second inning and later in the sixth, both threats being ended on ground-outs.

The Twins also missed a chance to score in the bottom of the fourth when a single by Seth Adkins encouraged Quelland to send baserunner Mose Hayes around third to score, but the throw from left field

beat Hayes home for the out to end the inning.

Service led 5-1 in the third inning after scoring four in the top of the frame, three on errors made by the Twins. Post 20 scored twice in the bottom of the third to cut the gap to 5-3.

The day also featured an official infield assist for Michael, who dove in the first inning to catch a low line drive but ended up bouncing the ball off his nose. The deflection by Michael ended up turning into an out at first, but Michael missed his first at-bat due to a bloody nose.

“I get the assist for it, right?” Michael said. “It was a square hit, and went straight to Mose.”

Kupferschmid picked up the win on the mound by tossing the final two innings for the Twins, giving up one run on one hit and two walks, while whiffing one. Harold Ochea started and lasted five innings, giving up six runs (only two earned) on four hits and two walks with two strikeouts.

While Ussing had two

hits on the day, the Twins also got base knocks from Michael, Hayes, Adkins, Jacob Boze, Belger and Harrison Metz.

Post 20 had trouble with Service catcher Josh Smith, who batted in three runs in a 2-for-3 day. Sam Maudsley started for Service and went four innings with three runs (two earned), giving up three runs — two earned — on four hits and five walks with three strikeouts.

In Game 2, the Twins pitching staff shut down the Cougars with a combined two-hit shutout by Chris Jaime and Jacob Boze. Jaime gave up one hit in four innings with two walks, while Boze pitched one clean inning of relief with one hit and one strikeout.

The Twins took an early 3-0 lead in the first inning and scored runs in every inning before forcing the game to end after five on the run rule.

Hayes went 2 for 3 with two runs to lead Post 20, while Smith had two RBIs.

Chugiak loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the ninth, and got one run on an RBI groundout by J. Paul Fullerton, but Keith was able to end it on a groundout by Daniel Freeman.

The Miners hit the field Friday night riding a sixgame winning streak. But Mat-Su head coach Tyler LeBrun said there was still work to be done at the plate.

And the Miners answered that call.

“They’re grinding, working on their game,” LeBrun

said after Mat-Su notched its seventh straight victory. “We were not hitting the way we want as a team. Entering tonight we were hitting .209 with too many strikeouts.”

Infielder Josh Bristyn enjoyed his best night in a MatSu uniform, finishing 3 for 4 with three RBIs and a run scored. The Gonzaga product entered the contest with three hits, two runs and an RBI during his first nine games with the Miners.

“He’s been working on his swing. It was good to see him

kind of break out,” LeBrun said.

Damon Keith drove in four of the Oilers’ five runs in the loss. Keith had a tworun triple in the sixth. Connor McCord was 3 for 4 at the plate, with a run. John Mackay recorded two hits and two runs.

Infielder Rickey Martinez also had his first multihit game with the Miners. Martinez was one of three Miners with two hits. Catcher Kody Ruff added two hits, two runs and an RBI. Drew William-

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The traditional team-by-team roll call to open the second day of the NHL draft hadn’t yet begun when the league’s looming salary-cap crunch began overshadowing the final six rounds Saturday.

Norris Trophy-winning defenseman P.K. Subban is off to New Jersey. Forward Patrick Marleau, a 21-year veteran, is headed to Carolina. And center J.T. Miller, one year into a five-year $26.25 million contract, was traded to Vancouver.

The common denominator spurring each of the trades were teams seeking to shed salaries to address more pressing roster needs before the NHL’s free agency period opens July 1. And the urgency to make the trades became more real when the league and NHL Players’ Association announced next year’s salary cap was set at $81.5 million — $1.5 million lower than initially projected.

“We had to make a business decision,” Nashville Predators general manager David Poile said about trading Subban.

And then there was Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas, who only two days ago suggested there was “a strong chance” Marleau would be back for the final year of his contract.

“I think everyone here knows how we feel about Patrick Marleau and what he has done for our organization,” Dubas said, noting he kept Marleau informed of trade talks. “We didn’t want to do one of those trades where it was moving a salary or a cap hit that was going to take anybody off our roster.”

For Toronto, losing the 39-year-old Marleau — and his $6.2 million salary — provides more flexibility to re-sign 22-year-old Mitchell Marner, a restricted free agent after completing his threeyear entry-level contract.

Miller became expendable in Tampa Bay, where the Lightning are focused on resigning center Brayden Point, also a restricted free agent.

As a result, Vancouver added a versatile center while giving up journeyman minor-league goalie Marek Mazanec and two draft picks in the deal, including a conditional 2020 first-round selection The trades started before Ottawa opened the second round by selecting American center Shane Pinto at No. 32 overall, and pushing the conclusion of the draft into the background.

The Devils came away the big winners.

A day after taking American center Jack Hughes at No. 1 overall, New Jersey acquired Subban in a trade with Nashville. The Predators picked up defensemen Steven Santini and Jeremy Davies, the 34th pick in this year’s draft and a second-rounder next year.

“We have cap space, cap space, cap space, and we said if there was a time to book it now, we did,” Devils GM Ray Shero said of adding Subban and his $9 million salary cap hit over each of the next three seasons. New Jersey could afford it after entering the offseason with about $34 million salary cap space available.

“P.K. is excited,” Shero said. “It’s great for our market.”

Subban released a video on social media in which he thanked the Predators and their fans, and then looked forward to joining the Devils.

“I just want to tell you guys, are you guys ready for The Subbanator? Because I’m ready to go,” he said.

Marleau, meanwhile, has a decision to make as to whether he’ll play for Carolina or have the team offer him a buyout.

Hurricanes GM Don Waddell said he’s open to either option. The key for Carolina in the deal was acquiring a conditional first-round pick in next year’s draft.

Columbus Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekäläinen shook his head in summing up the trade from Toronto’s perspective. “So $3.8 million for a first-round pick? No thank you,” he said, noting that would’ve been the price for Toronto to buy out Marleau’s contract.

What was initially considered a deep pool of unrestricted free agents is beginning to dwindle with defenseman Erik Karlsson re-signing with San Jose, forward Skinner re-signing with Buffalo, and Philadelphia acquiring and signing center Kevin Hayes.

The first round of the draft was unusually quiet, featuring just one trade. Florida sent a second-round pick to Philadelphia to move up three spots to No. 11.

And yet, Philadelphia’s Chuck Fletcher was among several general managers predicting things would pick up.

“I think we made the only trade, didn’t we? Yeah, that’s really unusual,” Fletcher said. “But I think the fact the draft’s so early, and there’s still 10 days until the start of free agency ... my expectation is there’ll still be some activity before July 1.”

son and Justin Kirby also scored two runs each.

Eight of Mat-Su’s nine starters scored at least a run, and eight of nine also drove in at least a run.

“We’ve been emphasizing putting the ball in play, giving yourself a chance,” LeBrun said.

The Miners also cashed in 10 walks thrown by the Oilers pitching staff.

“We want to keep putting pressure on pitchers, and we took advantage of a lot of walks,” LeBrun said.

Mat-Su did all of its damage in two innings. The Miners batted around in the first, posting an early 5-0 lead.

Mat-Su added six runs in the fourth.

Brandon Birdsell earned the win on the mound for Mat-Su, allowing six hits and two earned runs over five innings. The Texas A&M righthander also fanned six.

The Miners improved to 10-5, an Alaska Baseball League best, and completed the four-game sweep of the Oilers with the win.

RIGHT AT HOME: Outdoor decor that’s ‘out there’ and edgy

L ee R eich

Garden Conservancy lets you peek at some private gardens What are your plans for the weekend? Consider garden hopping. To some special private gardens.

An organization called The Garden Conservancy makes it easy to find and visit them.

Each year, the Garden Conservancy puts out a booklet called the Open Days Directory, with descriptions of about 300 private gardens that are opened to the public on specified dates. (Full disclosure: My garden is one of those this year.)

In each directory, you can look gardens up by state or location. If you’re looking for gardens to visit on, say, June 22, you could find all of them, near and far, that can be visited that day. This year, that day’s offerings include two gardens in New Jersey, eight in New York, two in Pennsylvania and six in Washington state.

THE BEGINNINGS OF THE CONSERVANCY The Garden Conservancy began with the vision of Frank Cabot and the garden of Ruth Bancroft. In 1988, Bancroft was getting on in years and unable to lavish the care needed to maintain her extraordinary and artfully designed Walnut Creek, California, garden of cacti, succulents and native plants.

After visiting her garden, Cabot conceived of the Garden Conservancy as an organization to “preserve exceptional American gardens for the public’s education and enjoyment.”

He was no garden slouch himself: His gardens — Les Quatre Vents in La Malbaie, Quebec, and Stonecrop in Cold Spring, New York — are famous. The latter is open to the public on days spelled out in the Open Days Directory.

The Garden Conservancy now provides the legal, financial, and horticultural expertise to transition certain gardens from private to non-profit ownership.

Gardens on the island of Alcatraz and at Steepletop, the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay’s home in Austerlitz, New York, are among ones that have been saved from weeds, pests and the vagaries of weather that threaten neglected gardens.

HOW YOUR VISITS HELP Money from memberships, directory sales and garden visits help support the Garden Conservancy’s efforts. The directory costs $25 and each garden visit $10, but a coupon in each directory provides free admission to one garden. (Children under 12 are free, and coupons from previous years can still be used for garden entry this year.)

Directories and further information are available from the Garden Conservancy (888-842-2442, www. gardenconservancy.org ).

The roster of gardens in the directory changes from year to year. And the gardens vary, some formal, others cottagey, some quirky, some intimate and others sprawling.

Perhaps your own garden is a candidate for Open Days, or Open Day visits will inspire you to loftier heights in your own back, front and side yards. Happy hopping.

The outdoor furnishings market has been dominated for years by wicker-look resin furniture and beachy prints. Spindly folding lawn chairs have given way to deep, comfy seating, and fabric choices have grown from sweaty, rough plastics to weatherproof linen, soft cotton, even velvet. The living room has most certainly moved outdoors.

But for those whose design sensibility skews toward the avant garde, there haven’t been a lot of options. Until now. More and more designers and makers are producing cool, imaginative pieces for backyard and balcony. If you’re into artsy decor, there’s no reason why your outdoor space can’t reflect that as well.

British artist David Harber has developed a global following for his innovative outdoor sculptures, which play with light and landscape. In his Oxfordshire studio, Harber and his team create sculptures, water features and sundials out of metal. Sunlight filters through a piece called Mantle, made of bronze petals fused together and gilded on the inside the light transforms the middle into molten gold.

One of his most popular pieces, Torus, is a circular expanse of super-polished steel that reflects the landscape or water in front of it.

It’s there in front of you, yet appears transparent.

Armillary spheres were the first thing Harber learned to make, and he says the marriage of art and science drew him to the form.

“I’ve made (them) for tiny cottage gardens, and for hotels they have a universal appeal,” he says.

Available in brass, steel and bronze, the spheres can be custom engraved.

Some people have commissioned phrases with personal meaning others have had their spheres etched with family names, house names, latitude and longitude, or distances to significant destinations.

In his Brooklyn, New York, studio Opiary, sculptor Robert Remer takes a more freeform approach to his artful outdoor pieces.

His sculptures, planters and seating, made of steel armatures and resin-fortified cement, look otherworldly.

The Archaic planter collection of abstract, organic shapes resembles pieces of a dinosaur skeleton or water-eroded rock. Little niches throughout the pieces can be planted with moss, alpines and succulents. The Drillium chair and chaise were inspired by aircraft construction and bones.

Curvy, sensuous lines with circular cutouts and little crevices for plants contrast with the hefty presence of the concrete material. You could see these pieces on an interplanetary patio.

The Museum of Modern Art’s store is carrying Moroso’s M’Afrique collection of colorful outdoor furniture, handmade in Senegal with woven materials and painted steel. M’Afrique showcases the region’s innovative weaving craft Moroso teamed with designers like Tord Boontje to create the collection.

yellow polyethylene cords woven to evoke overlapping feathers and inspired by the courtship dance of the ostrich. The Shadowy armchair has a Seussian exaggerated profile with high back, curvy canopy, and eye-popping colorways like black and white or orange and yellow.

Thomas Heatherwick’s Spun chair, made by Magi for Herman Miller , looks like a giant child’s spin top.

Placed upright, it’s sculpture. Tipped on its side, it’s a playful, comfortable seat.

Spun comes in black, white or red.

Loll Designs’ Rapson chair at Perigold is a futuristic plastic version of a traditional wing chair it comes in a bunch of colours including leaf green, apple red and sunset orange.

Finally, for fans of a certain HBO series, Amedeo Designs’ Throne chair, available at Houzz.com , might be just the thing.

Intricately carved and substantially sized, the piece is actually made of lightweight resin — the perfect place from which to have a commanding view of whatever the backyard games might be.

UC Davis doctors can peek into your whole body with one scan

By Cathie Anderson The Sacramento Bee (TNS)

Starting this summer, physicians at UC Davis Health will be able to use a powerful new scanner that can render detailed, 3-D images of the inner workings of the entire human body in as little as one minute, the creators of the device announced recently.

UCD researchers Ramsey Badawi and Simon Cherry said the sophisticated EXPLORER total body scanner cost roughly $18 million to design and construct, almost 10 times the assessed value of the building that houses it near the Selland Family’s Obo’ cafe. It is the only such medical imaging scanner in the country.

The two men advocated for EXPLORER for 15 years because they wanted doctors to be able

to look at the human body as a holistic system when patients with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, metabolic syndrome, arthritis and even infection. The EXPLORER uses a technology already in existence, positron emission tomography, but until the advent of the new device, PET scanners could take pictures of just six to nine inches of the human body at one time.

“If you take that scanner and just make it long enough to cover the whole patient, you are going to get … better image quality,” Badawi said. “Or you might be able to scan much faster. Or, you could reduce the amount of radiation that the subject needs to get in order to get a good PET scan … and you get total body coverage.”

UC Davis partnered with United Imaging to

build the EXPLORER, and Cherry published video of the first scans of a body on YouTube in November 2018. It now has almost 400,000 views.

To get these images, clinical lab workers inject patients with radioactive material that EXPLORER’s ring of detectors track as it disperses throughout the body. In the case of cancer patients, for instance, they give patients a radioactive sugar.

“In a PET scan, what we’re doing is using these radio tracers, this radioactive sugar, to track what real sugar is doing in the body, so an example would be looking at the amount of sugar used by the liver. Another example might be looking at sugar used by the brain or by the heart or by cancer,” Badawi said. “It turns out that most cancers are really hungry for sugar, and

they tend to suck it up more than regular tissues would.”

While some companies have purported to do “whole body scans” for years, what they have really done is produce images of slices of the body.

With EXPLORER, you can see sugar moving up the vein of a patient’s leg, go to the heart, then out to the lungs, back to the heart and into the arteries as a clock ticks off the seconds and minutes.

“At 3 minutes, the kidneys will start to excrete it and it will go out into the bladder,” said Badawi, providing a medical version of “color commentary” while showing a video at the EXPLORER Molecular Imaging Center on Folsom Boulevard in Sacramento. “Boom!

There we go. The bladder starts to fill, and the stuff that doesn’t get excreted, gets sucked up by the

brain and the liver and the heart.”

The EXPLORER’s detectors extend roughly six to seven feet in length, circling an open space where the patient lies. The machine took nearly two weeks to install. The main body was actually fairly easy to get into the room, Cherry said, but it took quite a while to hook up the cables and computer equipment needed to process all the data coming from the machine.

He and Badawi noted that EXPLORER has a role not only in diagnosis but also in treatment.

“You might diagnose that someone has a primary tumor in the liver, for example,” Cherry said.

“The question is: Has it spread? Has it spread to the lungs? Has it spread to the brain? You need to know that for treatment.

If it’s just in one place, you’ll typically go in sur-

gically and take the tumor out, but if it’s spread, that’s not going to help.”

The EXPLORER images can tell doctors where tumors have spread or whether a chosen medication is working to shrink tumors, Cherry said, but it also can help in researching new treatments for illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease where experts theorize that the disease may start in one part of the body and migrate to another part of the body.

“There’s a lot of evidence that Parkinson’s disease actually starts in the gut and migrates up to the brain,” Cherry said.

“Now we can study that because we can see the whole body. And then we also know the immune system is involved in many diseases. How good is the immune system at fighting disease? Your immune system is everywhere on your body.”

’Yarn Bombers’ use craft to make a statement

By Natalie Pompilio The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Jessie Hemmons did her first public “yarn bombing” in 2009, crocheting a 12-inch cozy around a bike rack in downtown Philadelphia. It was small but colorful, tangible.

She knows that most who walked past didn’t notice it.

Her more recent works in the city have been harder to miss: the words “TIME’S UP” in white letters on a 4-by-3-foot black background affixed to a wall a pink bikini atop the business suit of a larger-than-life statue of a late politician known for brutish behaviour a quote from “Game of Thrones”’ Daenerys Targaryen, “The next time you raise a hand to me will be the last time you have hands,” hung on a wall in pink letters on a green, 6-by-6-foot background.

“It started as something I felt I could do to insert a certain femaleness or womanliness into street art. I didn’t have to make street art as men were doing it to fit in,” said Hemmons, 32, of Philadelphia, whose Instagram tag is ishknits. “Now that the space and platform are there, I can start to be more overt and bring attention to certain issues like women’s equality and civil rights.”

Modern yarn bombing — also known as yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, yarn graffiti or graffiti knitting — has come a long way since 2005, when Texas artist Magda Sayeg used some extra yarn to knit a doorknob cover for her women’s

boutique, then made a cozy for a nearby stopsign pole, and then another. Sayeg, the “mother of yarn bombing,” unknowingly ignited a craft craze.

While some fiber artists choose to keep their statements simple and stick to snugly dressing items ranging from bikes to buses with interlocking loops of yarn, others use their knitting and crochet needles to create works designed to agitate, excite or inspire.

And they’re not the first to do so.

“There’s a long history of women using handicrafts, the tools available to them, for subversive aims,” said Hinda Mandell, editor of the upcoming book “Crafting Dissent: Handicraft as Protest from the American Revolution to the Pussyhats” (Rowman & Littlefield).

During the American Revolution, Mandell said, women showed their patriotism by shunning fine British textiles and wearing clothing made from coarser, homespun cloth.

During both World Wars, “Knit Your Bit” was a national campaign to encourage women to make socks and sweaters for soldiers fighting overseas.

In 2017, in Women’s Marches across the country, pink hats with cat ears signified female empowerment.

Mandell, who is on Twitter as ↕crochetactivism, cites one yarn artist who knits tiny gray hangers that she puts in public places and sends to politicians taking up abortion rights issues. “The soft yarn with the fatalistic image of the hanger is really arresting,” she said.

The Tempestry Project, an initiative founded in Washington in 2016, encourages knitters and crocheters to make banners in blocks of different colours, from light blues to bright reds, to represent changing temperatures.

In many instances, yarn bombing could be considered vandalism, even if the works can be removed with scissors and without damage. Hemmons says that most people who talk to her mid-installation are positive, but twice people have reported her to the police. She evaded capture both times, and successfully installed her work in one case: a fanny pack on the city’s famous “Rocky” statue.

In Vermont in 2014, a woman was arrested and others cited for trespassing when they staged a “knit-in” protest at a gas company that proposed a controversial pipeline.

Yarn crafts appear to be gaining in popularity along with the do-it-yourself movement in general.

The Craft Yarn Council, a Texas-based trade association, estimates that 38 million Americans are active crocheters or knitters.

The group’s executive director, Jenny Bessonette, says the number has grown in part because of the development of new yarns, including faux fur, “rumple” and multi-colored “cake” yarns.

“People used to think, ‘That’s my grandma’s craft,’ but our research and social media following tells us that more and more younger people are picking up knitting and crocheting,” she says.

Institute of Technology’s School of Communication, said she uses crocheted pieces to send messages. After a Jewish cemetery in Rochester was desecrated in 2017, she created six-pointed stars with hearts in the middle and placed them on pine trees near the broken tombstones. After 11 people were killed at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018, Mandell helped organize crafters who made and in-

stalled 2,500 of the heartwithin-a-star symbols there.

“When there is an event in the news that is upsetting to me, I respond with yarn,” she said.

Many knitters and crocheters see their crafts as stress relievers. Philadelphia crochet artist Nicole Nikolich, 27, has used her art to make political statements but much of her work is more light-hearted. She makes and installs giant flowers or quotes

like “You’re so gorgeous,” a line from a Taylor Swift song.

“For me, it’s mostly about just creating and beautifying, making people stop and smile,” said Nikolich, known on Instagram as lace—in— the—moon. “What’s really great is when someone reaches out and says, ‘You really made my day,’ or ‘I saw your new piece on Instagram and my run this week will be based on finding it.”’

Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins tackling mental wellness head on

By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Brian Dawkins is tackling mental health issues the same aggressive way he took on anyone who dared cross the middle during his Hall of Fame career as a safety for the Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.

Since revealing he suffered from depression and had suicidal thoughts early in his playing career, Dawkins has been on a mission to spread awareness. He recently spoke at the Stay in the Game Forum to identify ways

sports can be leveraged to have a positive impact on mental wellness. The event was organized by groups including Beyond Sport and the major professional sports leagues, including MLB, NFL, NBA and the NHL. “We’re trying to bring awareness to something that affects 44 million people,” Dawkins told The Associated Press. “One in five adults have a mental health condition or are going through some things.

I like to talk about my cerebral wellness instead of mental health. I believe we need to begin to change the narrative when we

begin to speak about our cerebral wellness. I think there’s so much negativity surrounding mental health that it’s gonna be hard to take that stigma completely off, so I believe that individuals in every walk of life, you need to take control of it, take ownership of it, you change the way that you feel comfortable for yourself to talk about yourself.”

The topic hits home for Dawkins, who shortly before his Hall of Fame induction ceremony last year publicly shared the personal issues he faced. A ferocious player nicknamed “Weapon X” and revered in Philadelphia for his physical style of play and his emotional connection with fans, Dawkins talked openly about the pressure he felt as a rookie secondround pick playing for a playoff contender in 1996.

That, combined with being a newlywed and a new parent, was too much for him at times. It led Dawkins to drink alcohol excessively and spiraled into a depression that made him feel like ending his life was the only way out.

“I know what it feels

like, my version of depression,” Dawkins said. “The things I went through, the dark place that I went through, the times that I didn’t want to come out of my house. I did not want to leave the home. I put on a mask every day to go to work and I was pretending to be something that I was not, not in a good way, not in a positive reinforcement way of positive thinking. I was pretending to be something and covering a whole lot of pain in my life.

“So to be able to now get on out on a national scale… we’re having these conversations on how sports can be a positive conduit to help others begin to talk about their feelings, talk about the things that are going on in their lives so they can be better versions of themselves so they won’t find themselves in those dark pits.”

In May, the NFL mandated that all 32 teams must retain by the start of training camp a behavioral health team clinician focused on supporting players’ emotional and mental health and well-being.

Dawkins didn’t have that option 23 years ago. His

wife, Connie, and Eagles defensive coordinator Emmitt Thomas persuaded Dawkins to seek help. He began to see a psychiatrist and was prescribed medication for depression.

But it was a renewed commitment to his faith that helped him control his issues.

“That is my No. 1 pillar,” Dawkins said. “That’s just the pinnacle of me, my faith, my belief in the Lord.

So everything else trickles down from that concrete rock. Everything else may move. My emotions may go up and down. People around me disappoint me.

But that’s something that will never disappoint me.”

Dawkins says he begins each day with prayer, scripture reading and meditation. It gives him the mindset that he will “dominate” that day.

“I recognize that when I lead with my spirit, when I allow my spiritual man to be the leader of me, my actions will then follow,” he said. “I’ll be a more loving individual. I’ll be a kinder individual. I’ll be a more patient individual.

I’ll see opportunities that others see as bad things,

I will see them as things that can actually increase me and bless me down the road. Count it all joy when you go through tests of all kinds. So when I began to view things from that perspective, even when I fall, that’s an opportunity for me to get stronger every time so there’s no area in my life that I can’t get stronger. When I’m winning, I’m getting stronger.

And even when I’m losing, I’m getting stronger because I can find something in there that can strengthen me for the next time. That’s why my faith is concrete. It’s the absolute strongest part of this walk.”

As a cerebral wellness advocate, Dawkins is looking forward to effecting change through the Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation, which is in the planning phases of its first community initiative in his hometown of Jacksonville, Florida.

“It’s designed to help disadvantaged young people, families and communities while promoting spiritual mental and physical wellness,” Dawkins said.

On Gardening: Viking begonias shaking up the garden world

By Norman Winter Tribune News Service (TNS)

Life seemed as it should for all of us gardeners and horticultural gurus. We loved Big Begonias, Whopper Begonias and Tophat that had just introduced white. Shoot we still had Dragon Wing at the throne when it came to hanging baskets. Then something happened in the space-time continuum of begonias and gardeners. Our happiness has been shaken thanks to Viking begonias.

You see we can’t be happy now until we get our hands on each and every color in this new series of begonias. These have been the jaw-droppers at all of the trials this summer. Eight standard vari-

eties and 4 that are called XL. You may have heard of the one called Viking Red on Chocolate XL as it is a 2019 AAS Winner.

My gut tells me, however, that this one largely slipped under the radar this year, and to be honest, I would like to know why.

At trials which typically seem like an ocean of color, begonias typically have an uphill battle to steal the limelight from plants like lantanas, zinnias, and salvias, but not the case this year.

The Viking series of begonias is coming from Sakata Seed that also brought us SunPatiens and in a similar fashion, these begonias too are packed with vigor and performance. The eight regular

selections are suggested to reach a height of 20-24 inches with a spread of 24 to 28 inches. The XL group takes on a more dwarf azalea frame reaching 28-34 inches tall with a width of 32 to 36 inches or should we say, THREE FEET. The rows of these begonias were uniform and stunning and seemed to be the gathering place of greenhouse producers, garden center owners, and professional designers. The consensus was I want it and I want it NOW. To be honest it will be next year before most of us get our hands on it. The wrinkle in that may come from the 2019 AAS Winner Red on Chocolate XL. Seeds are out there although 99.5% of us have never grown a

begonia from seed. Visit your garden center often this season and keep your eyes open, you never know.

You’ll find three leaf colors in the series, bright green, bronze, and chocolate. The foliage is so luscious you want to touch it. While I have touted the size of the plants know also that the flowers are enormous and colorful with rose, pink, scarlet and coral flame. Judges were impressed with how the deep bronze of this year’s AAS Winer remained sharp and intense no matter what area of the country it was grown. Hello Sakata, we want it now!

Whether you choose to grow in sun or partialsun, the soil should be fertile, organic-rich and

well drained. Work in 3 to 4 inches of organic matter, turning the soil to a depth of about 8 inches. While tilling, add two pounds of a slow-release, 12-6-6 fertilizer with minor nutrients per 100 square feet of bed space.

These plants are everblooming and have the ability to form an almost dwarf shrub-like appearance. They lend themselves to create stunning vistas when mass planted. Believe me when I say, however, they can stand alone in large containers dazzling on the porch patio or deck.

The Garden Guy looks forward to the day where they are combined with bananas, gingers and elephant ears for a tropical paradise.

Sakata, I want them NOW!

’Yarn Bombers’ use craft to make a statement

By Natalie Pompilio The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Jessie Hemmons did her first public “yarn bombing” in 2009, crocheting a 12-inch cozy around a bike rack in downtown Philadelphia. It was small but colorful, tangible.

She knows that most who walked past didn’t notice it.

Her more recent works in the city have been harder to miss: the words “TIME’S UP” in white letters on a 4-by-3-foot black background affixed to a wall a pink bikini atop the business suit of a larger-than-life statue of a late politician known for brutish behaviour a quote from “Game of Thrones”’ Daenerys Targaryen, “The next time you raise a hand to me will be the last time you have hands,” hung on a wall in pink letters on a green, 6-by-6-foot background.

“It started as something I felt I could do to insert a certain femaleness or womanliness into street art. I didn’t have to make street art as men were doing it to fit in,” said Hemmons, 32, of Philadelphia, whose Instagram tag is ishknits. “Now that the space and platform are there, I can start to be more overt and bring attention to certain issues like women’s equality and civil rights.”

Modern yarn bombing — also known as yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, yarn graffiti or graffiti knitting — has come a long way since 2005, when Texas artist Magda Sayeg used some extra yarn to knit a doorknob cover for her women’s

boutique, then made a cozy for a nearby stopsign pole, and then another. Sayeg, the “mother of yarn bombing,” unknowingly ignited a craft craze.

While some fiber artists choose to keep their statements simple and stick to snugly dressing items ranging from bikes to buses with interlocking loops of yarn, others use their knitting and crochet needles to create works designed to agitate, excite or inspire.

And they’re not the first to do so.

“There’s a long history of women using handicrafts, the tools available to them, for subversive aims,” said Hinda Mandell, editor of the upcoming book “Crafting Dissent: Handicraft as Protest from the American Revolution to the Pussyhats” (Rowman & Littlefield).

During the American Revolution, Mandell said, women showed their patriotism by shunning fine British textiles and wearing clothing made from coarser, homespun cloth.

During both World Wars, “Knit Your Bit” was a national campaign to encourage women to make socks and sweaters for soldiers fighting overseas.

In 2017, in Women’s Marches across the country, pink hats with cat ears signified female empowerment.

Mandell, who is on Twitter as ↕crochetactivism, cites one yarn artist who knits tiny gray hangers that she puts in public places and sends to politicians taking up abortion rights issues. “The soft yarn with the fatalistic image of the hanger is really arresting,” she said.

The Tempestry Project, an initiative founded in Washington in 2016, encourages knitters and crocheters to make banners in blocks of different colours, from light blues to bright reds, to represent changing temperatures.

In many instances, yarn bombing could be considered vandalism, even if the works can be removed with scissors and without damage. Hemmons says that most people who talk to her mid-installation are positive, but twice people have reported her to the police. She evaded capture both times, and successfully installed her work in one case: a fanny pack on the city’s famous “Rocky” statue.

In Vermont in 2014, a woman was arrested and others cited for trespassing when they staged a “knit-in” protest at a gas company that proposed a controversial pipeline.

Yarn crafts appear to be gaining in popularity along with the do-it-yourself movement in general.

The Craft Yarn Council, a Texas-based trade association, estimates that 38 million Americans are active crocheters or knitters.

The group’s executive director, Jenny Bessonette, says the number has grown in part because of the development of new yarns, including faux fur, “rumple” and multi-colored “cake” yarns.

“People used to think, ‘That’s my grandma’s craft,’ but our research and social media following tells us that more and more younger people are picking up knitting and crocheting,” she says.

Institute of Technology’s School of Communication, said she uses crocheted pieces to send messages. After a Jewish cemetery in Rochester was desecrated in 2017, she created six-pointed stars with hearts in the middle and placed them on pine trees near the broken tombstones. After 11 people were killed at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018, Mandell helped organize crafters who made and in-

stalled 2,500 of the heartwithin-a-star symbols there.

“When there is an event in the news that is upsetting to me, I respond with yarn,” she said.

Many knitters and crocheters see their crafts as stress relievers. Philadelphia crochet artist Nicole Nikolich, 27, has used her art to make political statements but much of her work is more light-hearted. She makes and installs giant flowers or quotes

like “You’re so gorgeous,” a line from a Taylor Swift song.

“For me, it’s mostly about just creating and beautifying, making people stop and smile,” said Nikolich, known on Instagram as lace—in— the—moon. “What’s really great is when someone reaches out and says, ‘You really made my day,’ or ‘I saw your new piece on Instagram and my run this week will be based on finding it.”’

Hall of Famer Brian Dawkins tackling mental wellness head on

By ROB MAADDI AP Pro Football Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Brian Dawkins is tackling mental health issues the same aggressive way he took on anyone who dared cross the middle during his Hall of Fame career as a safety for the Philadelphia Eagles and Denver Broncos.

Since revealing he suffered from depression and had suicidal thoughts early in his playing career, Dawkins has been on a mission to spread awareness. He recently spoke at the Stay in the Game Forum to identify ways

sports can be leveraged to have a positive impact on mental wellness. The event was organized by groups including Beyond Sport and the major professional sports leagues, including MLB, NFL, NBA and the NHL. “We’re trying to bring awareness to something that affects 44 million people,” Dawkins told The Associated Press. “One in five adults have a mental health condition or are going through some things.

I like to talk about my cerebral wellness instead of mental health. I believe we need to begin to change the narrative when we

begin to speak about our cerebral wellness. I think there’s so much negativity surrounding mental health that it’s gonna be hard to take that stigma completely off, so I believe that individuals in every walk of life, you need to take control of it, take ownership of it, you change the way that you feel comfortable for yourself to talk about yourself.”

Community It

is what

it is W ill M orrow

It’s not easy eating green There was a point last week where I realized that the only thing green I had eaten in five days was mint chip ice cream.

Giving up vegetables for a week wasn’t intentional. My wife had to fly out of state unexpectedly, my son is off set-netting in Bristol Bay, and my daughter was doing her own thing for meals.

That left me more or less on my own for meals, which isn’t a big deal. I’m a decent cook, and I know how to prepare healthy meals. In fact, my breakfasts alternate between fruit smoothies and cheese omelettes all week — though I admit, I could have added some spinach to an omelette or two and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Really, the problems came with lunch and dinner. You see, being left to my own devices coincided with a busy week. It included two trips to Anchorage and back, helping with set-up and take-down for the Tri The Kenai, and a day spent out of the office for work. That meant lunches were grab-and-go, whether it was the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I pack for some of those days, or a meal from one of the food vendors at the Kenai River Festival.

Busy days also made for late dinners. Once I got home from work, or from helping out with the youth mountain bike program at Tsalteshi Trails, I still had to take the dogs for a good walk before I could take care of myself. I suppose I could have put off the dog walking, but after being cooped up for the day, my dogs were pretty insistent on getting some attention.

There was another factor in my veggie-free diet. Normally, when everyone else is out of the house, it’s an opportunity for me to cook the things no one else likes.

Usually it’s either something blackened, or hot dogs.

But this time around, because my wife’s trip was unexpected, there was an obstacle to cooking what I wanted: leftovers.

I’m not a fan of leftovers, and with just me in the house, they were going to last for more meals than I would’ve liked.

But I’m even less of a fan of wasting food, and so I had a couple of slices of meatlover’s pizza to get through, some brats (as close to hot dogs as the rest of my family will let me get), and a couple of hamburger patties to grill up.

I even cooked up some side dishes to go with them, but they all happened to be starches – couscous or rice.

And it was a missed opportunity for me. I prefer my veggies to be oven-roasted, rather than steamed, whereas other family members prefer the expedience of throwing them in the microwave.

Like I said, it wasn’t intentional. Once I realized my omission, I added some salad and fresh vegetables to my shopping list (in addition to more mint chip ice cream).

And as it turns out, I was not the only one in the family needing some more green in my diet. One of our dogs has been, to put it delicately, excessively scooching, and the veterinarian suggested some extra veggies in her diet, too.

So, if you happen to see me in the grocery store, feel free to check my cart – and to remind me that mint chip ice cream shouldn’t be the only thing green in my basket. I mean, the dog needs her veggies, right?

Meet the Clarion: Mail room leader Jason Antebi

By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

Jason Antebi just celebrated his fifth year with the Peninsula Clarion as the paper’s self-described mail room leader, inserter and helper extraordinaire.

“I get the paperwork done each evening for the paper being run that night for the office and the drivers who deliver the routes,” Jason said.

Jason puts together the Homer News, the comics pages for the Peninsula Clarion and makes sure that all the correct inserts, or sections, are ready for the paper the evening before it’s delivered.

He also mails or bundles the papers each night and helps with the recycling. He can be found in the mail room Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday.

“I love representing Sound Publishing and the Peninsula Clarion. I love being a part of the press room crew.

Frank Goldthwaite is a fantastic pressman and boss. Sean

Jones is just amazing. And our

newest addition Jeremy has

been terrific,” Jason said.

Jason, who was born and raised throughout California, moved to Kenai in 2005. One of his best memories of living in Alaska is the day he married his wife, Janice Gottschalk, in 2018.

“It was a Friday the thirteenth which made even more memorable. We had family and friends and our wedding cake was themed towards Friday the thirteenth,” Jason said.

Jason also has three daughters, two sons, a grandson, a dog and a cat.

“Meeting me you wouldn’t think I was a grandpa yet. But proudly I am, and love being Grandpa Jason to my wonderful grandson Tobias. He brings me such joy,” he said.

This summer, he plans to spend quality time with his family. He also enjoys spending time with his friends, going to the movies or catching a local sports games, like the Oilers or Kenai River Brown Bears.

“So far it’s been a beautiful summer and I hope it continues,” he said.

Thank you from the Ninilchik Traditional Council Ninilchik Traditional Council (NTC) Youth Education Leadership Program (YELP) received a generous donation of personal protection equipment (PPE) from BlueCrest Energy, LLC. The donation included hard hats, high visibility vests, safety glasses and gloves. The PPE was donated to assist the youth group coordinators to help educate the kids in general safety as well as the equipment use and limitations.

The YELP group enjoyed their learning session and were very excited to try out the new gear. The session was very interactive, and the kids did an amazing job answering the test questions after the PowerPoint presentation.

NTC appreciates the collaboration with BlueCrest Energy, LLC to help our youth learn about safety.

Thank you, BlueCrest Energy LLC!

Stitches of Love needs storage space

The Recycling Bin Only recycle screw-top plastic bottles and jugs Effective now, only recycle screw-top plastic bottles and jugs.

Clear plastic clamshell containers and cups are no longer recyclable.

Plastic bottles with screw tops and milk and household detergent jugs remain valuable in the recycling marketplace.

Plastic clamshells and plastic cups are made from a lower-grade plastic, so they are currently not being made into other products.

Recycling continues to have much potential to grow: new mills are being built in the United States and more manufacturers are making products out of materials that are more recyclable.

Stitches of Love is a quilt group that began in 2004. We provide quilts for many community services, including hospice, children services, Love INC, Heritage Place, the Kenaitze Tribe, school nurse stations, children pillow cases for the hospital and more.

We give well over 100 quilts a year to these programs.

We are a nonprofit organization. Any help we might receive could be a business write-off.

We have accumulated a lot of fabric from two quilt shops that closed, and local citizens who continually donate to us.

We need a secure space, at least 15 by 15 feet to store the fabric, in the Soldotna area.

If you have space or know someone who could help us, please contact Jane Avery at 252-2794 or Barb Steckel at 262-2407.

If you would like to know more about our group, please contact us.

Thank you for your support of the Sterling Community Senior Center Salmon Classic Roundup This is an appreciation letter to the hundreds of merchants and individuals who donated several hundred items to the Sterling Community Senior Center for the Salmon Classic Roundup.

This fundraiser is the main fundraiser for the center for Meals on Wheels. As one of those who contacted many merchants on the Kenai, I understand the many requests these merchants are bombarded with yearly. Yet, they realize the importance of senior centers, especially the Meal on Wheels program — which feeds many individuals.

If not for the generosity of these merchants and individuals these fundraisers would be difficult to have. The next most important thing is for the communities to turn out for these and support programs which help feed others. Again, I would like to say that I greatly appreciate all that donated and all who are going to attend the fundraiser. I also appreciate all the volunteers who work endlessly to make this event a huge success, as well as a wonderful time with great food and drink, as well as being able to be awarded some awesome prizes for their successful bidding. Without each of these who donated items and time there would be no such events to help others in need.

A different kind of swim

Mini Fact:

Into the Pool!

At some pools, you might see a team of swimmers practicing complicated routines.

These athletes are called synchronized (SIN-krohn-ized) swimmers.

This graceful sport combines the skills used in dance, swimming and figure skating. Swimmers must be very strong and flexible. They must be able to hold their breath for a Underwater speakers long time. allow the swimmers Synchronized swimming routines to hear the music. take place in deep water. Swimmers are not allowed to touch the bottom of the pool.

Routines are done to music. Swimmers learn the routine by doing it on the deck of the pool, then trying it in the water.

This is called decking. Team routines are five minutes long. Individual, duet (two swimmers) and trio (three swimmers) routines are shorter.

At competition, swimmers are judged individually on their figures, or positions.

That score makes up half of their final score, including their routines. Judges look to see how long swimmers can hold their breath, how high they are in the water, their posture, and how difficult the routine is.

Is there a pool near your home? Does it have a swim team?

Many kids have fun competing in organized events called swim meets. To make the team, kids should be good at one or more of the four strokes: freestyle, butterfly, breaststroke and backstroke.

More than 2.5 million kids across the United States are on swim teams at their local pool.

Many are between the ages of 6 and 12. Some kids swim year-round and go on to swim in high school and college.

Young kids may participate in all events. As their bodies grow, they may find one or two events they like best.

The competition

Swimmers may swim in order based on their seed times. This means that swimmers with similar times in an event will compete against each other. At some meets, swimmers are grouped by age.

The swimmers

Boys usually wear tightfitting, short racing suits. Girls wear one-piece suits.

Some swimmers wear caps to control their hair. This also helps them to move through the water faster.

Most swimmers also wear goggles to protect their eyes from the chemicals in the pool.

Swim meet basics

Have you ever been to a swim meet?

Events move quickly. Crowds yell and cheer on their favorite swimmers. Here are some of the things you might see at a swim meet.

Events and heats

An event features a certain stroke over a set distance. For example, a swimmer might swim a 100-meter freestyle.

If there are more swimmers than there are lanes in the pool, there will be heats. If there are 12 swimmers in the 100-meter freestyle but only 10 lanes, there might be two heats of six swimmers.

The officials

At a swim meet, you may see: • a referee, who enforces the rules and makes sure all the other officials are being fair; • a starter, who sounds a horn or shoots photo by Marin Rulsch a cap gun to start a race; • a stroke judge, who watches to make sure the stroke is being done correctly; • a turn judge, who makes sure swimmers start, finish and turn correctly.

Cook’s Corner

Did you know that less than 1% of all the water on Earth can be used by people? The rest is salt water (the kind you find in the ocean) or is permanently frozen. As our population grows, more and more people are using up this limited resource. It is important that we use our water wisely and not waste it. For example, just by turning off the tap while you brush your teeth, you can save up to 8 gallons of water!

That adds up to more than 200 gallons a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds six small sharks! adapted from epa.gov

For later: Look in your newspaper for items about swim meets in your area.

Willingly take responsibility and allow more give-and-take between you and others. Tonight: Wherever you are, being noticed.

This Week: You know how to draw another person’s attention. You will demonstrate how profound that skill is most of the week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

HHHHH You might be far more emotional than you realize. Once you get on the phone with a loved one, you feel the unique intensity that exists between you. Do not fight the inevitable.

Tonight: Work with a friend’s unpredictability.

This Week: You are a lead player, especially at work or within the community. You will find it hard to stop and take a break until late Thursday.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You enjoy the romantic quality of relating closely, just you and one other person. Today you can frequently be found cooing and enjoying a loved one. You might be speaking of the future or considering a possible change. Tonight: Do not be surprised by what could happen.

This Week: Yes, you are like a ray of sunshine this week and impossible to stop. All eyes are on you. Be aware!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Allow the other party to make the first effort or to make the plans for the day. A sense of well-being surrounds and emanates out. Do not be surprised to receive several invitations. Tonight: Only what you want to do.

This Week: You can fuss all you want; you are not in control this week.

The question remains how gracefully you can defer to another person!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Show your caring in a manner that means a lot to your sweetie.

For some of you, that might look like a lengthy massage. For others, going out to a favorite dinner works well. Tonight: Though you might hear something shocking, listen to what is being shared.

This Week: You wonder what is going on with those around you.

Someone certainly acts as if he or she is on the warpath. If you can, duck.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Defer to or indulge a loved one. If you want to please a child, you might go to the amusement park before you know it. Go with the moment, enjoying what you are doing as much as the receiver. Do not be surprised that you will often think of

This Week: Be as direct as you can when handling a personal issue.

Others need to hear what you feel and think.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH A loved one lets you know how valued you are. You both are very different. You like adventure and taking risks. You could be delighted to go kayaking. The other party loves staying close to home. Tonight: Be thankful for what your sweetie does.

This Week: Creativity flows most of the week, starting on Monday. Do not allow a good idea to fall to the wayside.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Caring seems to naturally emanate from you. Your sensitivity speaks and another person is clearly drawn to you. You might note that you nearly know what someone is going to say before he or she says it! Tonight: Out at a favorite night spot.

This Week: Pressure builds on the home front. A roommate or loved one might want to make some changes!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might want to do some shopping. You might not even have a list of items, but as you wander, you enjoy the various stores. You could easily pick up a token of affection for a special person in your life. Tonight: Indulge that loved one and others too!

This Week: You could have a lot to say, and you will say it all at once, to the horror of one individual.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You have a big personality that comes out frequently. Whether inviting everyone over for a spontaneous costume party or an intense game of cards, you draw your closest friends, bringing them together. Tonight: Go with spontaneity.

This Week: Your emotions trigger with ease. You could become possessive, angry and then helpful within hours!

Dear Heloise: OPOSSUMS are awesome! We learned about opossums in school.

They are marsupials, which means they are born underdeveloped, and then they complete their growth in their mother’s pouch.

Kangaroos and koalas also are marsupials.

An opossum is the size of a house cat, is nocturnal and lives in the forest. If you see one at night, just let it be. The opossum is looking for food, including ticks, mice, other small animals and plants.

An opossum is harmless, won’t bite you, RARELY carries rabies and actually is quite beneficial to the environment, gobbling up all those insects. Opossums live about two years and grow to anywhere from 5 to 15 pounds.

“Playing possum” is not a game to the animal; an opossum’s body can physiologically shut down in response to fear.

I want to ask your readers to appreciate the opossum!

-- Jennifer S., age 10, in Texas

Top high school student plans to take on college by herself DEAR ABBY: My niece, “Amelia,” was a straight-A student in high school.

She took advanced placement courses from 10th grade through 12th and was in all honors classes. She talked about going into the medical field after she got her college degree. Before starting college she wanted to take a year off and just live life because she’d had so many college-level courses almost her entire high school life.

medicine being a career she wants to pursue. This is a decision she should make without pressure, as well-intentioned as it may be.

My sister (her mother) and I talk every day. Amelia has left home now and returned to their home state of Ohio because she loved it there when she was younger. She hasn’t decided what she wants to go to school for and thinks she can afford to attend college fulltime, have an apartment on her own and pay for everything she needs. No matter how many times my sister tells her she needs to move back home and attend college here so she can finish her education, Amelia still seems to think she can do it all. My sister is afraid if she pushes her too much, she will shut down. What can we do to make this girl realize life will be easier at home and with support?

D E A R Abigail Van Buren ABBY: I am doing an ancestry search to present to my sisterin-law “Kate” as a surprise birthday gift. While doing the search, I discovered that her late mother, “Ellen,” has a sister who lives nearby. My brother believes Kate knows nothing about her. For unknown reasons, Ellen hadn’t spoken to almost her entire family in years; therefore, Kate knows little about them.

We’re not sure if I should include Ellen’s sister in the ancestry or not. I think Kate has the right to know, but I don’t want to upset her.

Lake house vacation tradition changes after mom’s passing made it plain that he would like you to visit “as you naturally would.” Because you are feeling awkward, this is something you should discuss with him, if only to make sure he will be able to welcome you as he has in the past. It would Abigail Van Buren not be a breach of etiquette to level with him about what’s on your mind. Once you start going there and interacting, you will get to know his lady friend, and she will get to know you -- and that should break the ice.

DEAR ABBY: I’m the youngest of five, and all of us are successful in our own ways -- except for our middle youngest sibling. She dropped out of college, had a bad breakup with a married man and has given up all hope and efforts to live a normal life.

She’s 34, refuses to work and still lives with our parents. She trashed the vehicle our father bought and paid for, and walks around the house -- THROWN IN SOUTH DAKOTA talking to herself, which I believe is for attention DEAR THROWN: Your father has because I have had serious conversations with

her. I’ve tried several times to be a sympathetic ear and encouraged her to find a job, but it’s not working.

What can we do to help her get a job and move? She’s a burden on our family, and it’s depressing to have her present for family events she doesn’t dress for or make an effort to receive other family members. If this continues, I’m scared of what may happen after our parents pass. What can be done for an adult who refuses to grow up and move on?

-- HOPELESS IN GEORGIA DEAR HOPELESS: I have another idea why your sister walks around the house talking to herself and can’t motivate herself to be independent. She may be severely depressed or suffering from other mental problems. Talk to your parents and tell them they are not helping her by ignoring the fact that she isn’t functional.

They need to insist that, as a condition of staying with them, she talk to a mental health professional.

DEAR ABBY: Every summer, my husband and I, our two boys and my parents would take several vacations at Mom and Dad’s lake home.

This is where Dad grew up and where we spent countless vacations as children. It holds much sentimental value to us all. We were lucky enough to have our own space upstairs and were free to enjoy the home as if it was ours. We always contributed to groceries and cleaning before we left, and it was very enjoyable for everyone.

My mother passed away last year after a long battle with a debilitating disease. Dad is planning to retire soon and move permanently to the lake home, which is about seven hours away. However, he has found a girlfriend he has become close to, and upon retiring, he plans to have her move in with him.

I am thrilled that Dad has found someone, but I’m left wondering how to handle visits to our beloved vacation spot once Dad’s new lady moves in. He insists we visit as we naturally would, which usually means staying several nights as it is quite far away. We don’t know Dad’s lady very well yet, and I’m feeling awkward about visiting.

Do we continue to treat this as we once did, like it is partly ours? What’s proper etiquette here?

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

Letters should be addressed to KPB Land Manager, 144 North Binkley St., Soldotna AK 99669. More information can be found at kpb.us/land
