As a major radioactive waste cleanup milestone was celebrated at the Department of Energy desert site’s Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project this week, many are now considering what the future holds for the facility and its 700 employees.

Last week, Fluor Idaho employees finished retrieving some 65,000 cubic meters of transuranic waste from a dirt-covered pile at the facility — a del-

icate process underway for the past 14 years. Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter, Attorney General Lawrence Wasden and others congratulated employees for the accomplishment at an AMWTP event Thursday.

“Today’s a big day,” Wasden told the Post Register. “There was a lot of creativity, and a lot of commitment by a lot of people to make this all happen. It’s kudos to the Department of Energy, and the contractors and the crews — they really went out of their way to get this job done.”

Now, federal officials are considering what to do with the AMWTP after 2018, when the facility’s current mission will be mostly complete. A pending DOE report is expected to recommend whether AMWTP should start accepting transuranic waste from DOE sites around the country.

About 8,500 cubic meters of the retrieved waste remains to go through AMWTP’s extensive treatment and repackaging process. The waste is supposed to be shipped out of the state by the end of next year under a

Russia: Sarah Jessica Parker can meet envoy MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s foreign ministry says it would be happy to play matchmaker between American actress Sarah Jessica Parker and Moscow’s ambassador to Parker the United States.

Parker on Thursday made a post on Instagram showing her typing at a computer, captioned: “I couldn’t help but wonder ... had the Russian ambassador been meeting with everyone but me?”

Questions have arisen in Congress and the media about Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak’s meetings with members of the Trump administration.

On Friday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mara

Zakharova said on the ministry’s English-language account: “If #SarahJessicaParker desperately wants to meet Russian Ambassador to US -anything is possible. Sergey Ivanovich will be happy.”

after three women came forward and reported they were sexually assaulted by Masterson in the early 2000s, Officer Drake Madison, a Los Angeles police spokesman, said Friday. He declined to provide any further details, citing the ongoing investigation.

The 40-year-old actor is best known for his role as Steven Hyde on “That ’70s Show,” which aired from 1998 until 2006. He’s currently starring in a Netflix series called “The Ranch.”

A representative for Masterson, who has not charged with a crime, denied the allegations in a statement Friday. The representative said one of the accusers was Masterson’s longtime girlfriend, who continued to date him after the alleged incident.

“The alleged incident occurred in the middle of their six-year relationship, after which she continued to be his longtime girlfriend,” the statement said.

Danny Masterson faces sex assault allegations LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police are investigating after three women reported being sexually assaulted by actor Danny Masterson in the early 2000s, but the actor denies the allegations, which he Masterson says are motivated by the producer of an anti-Scientology television series.

in history Today is Sunday, March 5, the 64th day of 2017. There are 301 days left in the year.

In 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people.

In 1867, the Fenian Rebellion took place in Ireland as thousands of members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood launched an attempt at overthrowing British rule; the poorly-organized rising was swiftly put down by British and Irish authorities.

In 1868, the U.S. Senate was organized into a Court of Impeachment to decide charges against President Andrew Johnson, who was later acquitted.

In 1927, “The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place,” the last Sherlock Holmes story

by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was published in the U.S. in Liberty Magazine.

In 1933, in German parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote; the Nazis joined with a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag.

In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, in which he said: “From Stettin in the Baltic, to Trieste in the Adriatic, an ‘iron curtain’ has descended across the continent, allowing police governments to rule Eastern Europe.”

In 1963, country music performers Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins died in the crash of their plane, a Piper Comanche, near Camden, Tennessee, along with pilot Randy Hughes (Cline’s manager).

Another award for Viola Davis: Harvard ‘Artist of the Year’ CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Fresh from her best supporting actress Oscar win for her role in “Fences,” Viola Davis is at Harvard University to receive the 2017 Artist of the Year Award from the Harvard Foundation.

Davis is attending the Cultural Rhythms Festival on Saturday. She briefly came on stage before taking a seat to watch a series of cultural musical performances by students.

In addition to the Oscar, Davis received the Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, and British Academy of Films and Television Arts awards for her portrayal of Rose Maxson in the film adaptation of “Fences,” an August Wilson play.

Davis also won a Tony Award for the 2010 Broadway revival of the play.

Previous winners of the Harvard award include Quincy Jones, Andy Garcia, Matt Damon, Salma Hayek and Shakira.

Idaho AG discusses Dietrich locker room case could say we have proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the purpose of this anal entry was sexual arousal, gratification or abuse. In this instance, we would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that that purpose was sexual. In this instance, we didn’t have that evidence.

n Wasden said he ‘didn’t have enough evidence’ to charge sex crime B y JOHN SOWELL Idaho Statesman

There was no evidence the October 2015 attack on a black, disabled Dietrich High School football player was motivated by sexual arousal, gratification or abuse — making it impossible under Idaho law to charge it as a sex crime, Idaho’s attorney general said Wednesday.

Lawrence Wasden defended his office’s prosecution of John R.K. Howard for the incident where a clothes hanger was kicked into the black teen’s buttocks in a school locker room.

Howard, 19, was originally charged with forcible sexual penetration with a foreign object, a felony. In December, he entered an Alford plea to felony injury to a child, maintaining his innocence but acknowledging prosecutors could have won a conviction. The ultimate fates of two others charged as juveniles are unknown, as their cases are sealed.

“It is not, in my view, a sex crime,” Deputy Attorney General Casey Hemmer said at Howard’s change-of-plea hearing, a statement that led to national criticism.

What was it then?

Extreme bullying and hazing, Wasden and Hemmer said Wednesday.

“And it was targeted at anyone that these persons believed or perceived as being weaker or younger,” Wasden said.

A freshman player who was nearby when the victim was targeted told Howard and the others to stop. “‘It’s not any of your business or we’ll do the same to you,’” Wasden said the bullies told the other player. “They were victimizing a whole variety of people.”

Last week, Howard was sentenced to 300 hours of community service and three years of probation, renewing the public outcry — including attention to a petition calling for 5th District Judge Randy Stoker’s removal.

Wasden, Hemmer and several other officials sat down Wednesday afternoon with the Idaho Statesman to talk about the case.

Q: What were your goals in prosecuting this case?

Wasden: This was a tough case to handle, because we have two primary goals. No. 1 was to protect this very vulnerable young man. What happened to him was tragic and terrible. We have an obligation to protect him. The other thing that we have an obligation to do, and a commensurate responsibility, is to hold the perpetrators responsible.

And that’s precisely what we did here.

Q: A lot of people say you didn’t protect the victim, you didn’t go far enough.

Wasden: We have to take into account, what did we do to protect this victim? We have to recognize that he did not want to testify. His parents did not want him to testify. In fact, it was not in his best interest to put him on the stand. And so, as a consequence, we chose not to do that. We couldn’t try this case without putting him on the stand. And it was not good for him to do that. And so the consequence of that is, what else do you do? The answer is we were able to

Q: What are your feelings about what happened?

Wasden: We don’t think this was good behavior in any way, shape or form. But the question isn’t whether we think that or not. The question is, based on this evidence, can we prove beyond a reasonable doubt elements of that crime?

That’s what we had to do.

Darin Oswald / doswald@idahostatesman.com

Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, during a Wednesday interview, explains how his office approached prosecuting an October 2015 attack involving a Dietrich High School football player and some of his teammates. get a felony conviction … for the defendant and still preserve the victim in fulfilling his wish not to testify.

Q: What would have happened if you had gone to trial?

Wasden: The case would have been tried as a felony injury to child case because that’s where the facts fit. … Secondly, there would have been the potential of a conviction on that case or a lesser crime of battery, or it could be that there would not be a conviction at all.

So those are the risks you have associated with that case. You have to take into account, not only the provable facts you have, but the quality of evidence that you have, how well the witness is going to perform on the stand and, in this instance, there were countervailing recorded statements that you have that all goes into how effective we are going to be in proving our case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Q: It would seem like the victim’s shifting stories would have made it difficult.

Wasden: It certainly added to our prosecutorial challenges. We felt committed to putting an end to this abuse of this young man. But there were statements we were going to have to face at trial and it does add to the challenges of prosecuting the case.

Q: The Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence said you were “complicit in state-sanctioned sexism, racism, able-ism and violence.” How do you respond to that?

Wasden: We took a case as a special prosecution case (at the request of Lincoln County) that involved a very vulnerable young man and we had an obligation to protect him.

We did that. We had an obligation to impose criminal sanctions against the perpetrators of that crime and we did that. So I felt like we did exactly what we were supposed to do.

Q: There’s been a lot of talk about whether names the victim was called — watermelon, fried chicken, grape soda — whether those were racist hate words directed toward him.

Wasden: The statute that is in play is the malicious harassment statute.

And what it says is that it shall be unlawful for any person maliciously, and with the specific intent, to

intimidate or harass another person because of that person’s race, color, religion, ancestry or national origin.

What we have to do is to step into the mind of the perpetrator, the defendant here. And we have to show beyond a reasonable doubt that he had the specific intent to harass this victim, this vulnerable victim. And that … the specific intent for that was because of that person’s race or color or religion or so forth. That was the evidence that was missing. It isn’t what other persons may have said, it’s what this individual did. And what was in this individual’s mind. … The incidents concerning grape soda, watermelon, those kinds of things occurred but not in the location or in the time frame of these acts. We didn’t have the evidence to show beyond a reasonable doubt … that the specific intent to intimidate or harass was because of his race, color or so forth.

Q: What happened in the locker room?

Tony Pittz, Attorney General’s Office investigator: Before practice, a member of the football team either put his arm around our victim or gave him a hug. Another player gave him a wedgie, enough to tear his underwear. They chased one another around the locker room and went to practice. After practice, the victim’s underwear was torn enough that they’re hanging below his buttocks, exposing his buttocks. A member of the football team took a coat hanger and either once or twice, depending upon the witnesses, slips the shoulder end of the hanger in between his buttocks.

At some point this hanger is stuck between the buttocks of the victim and the defendant John Howard kicks at the victim, either at the victim or at the hanger.

He kicked at the victim, making contact with the hanger, either on purpose or on accident and forces the hanger further into the victim. The victim yells out as if he’s in pain, someone removes the hanger from him and throws it across the room. The coaches come into the room at that time and everyone shuts up.

Q: What did you consider in charging Mr. Howard?

Wasden: We applied those facts against the provision for forcible sexual penetration by the use of

a foreign object. It says for every person who for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification or abuse causes the penetration, however slight, of the genital or anal opening of another person by any object, instrument or device against his will. The question is whether, based upon that evidence, that

we can establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the purpose for this anal penetration was sexual arousal, gratification or abuse. On the basis of that evidence, there isn’t evidence there was some sexual reference or sexual activity. There was nothing that raised that level of activity to something we

Q: What happened between the filing of the original felony and the final charge?

Hemmer: Over time cases evolve. They don’t always start charged one way and finish charged the same way. That’s through witnesses, how they develop over time, additional information that comes out, the best interests of the victim.

All of those things are taken into account. As the case progressed, it became clear that we couldn’t prove the sexual intent element. It was important to the family and to the state that a felony conviction was obtained, but what statute does this conduct fit? And in this case it was felony injury to children.

From Page A1 power.”

The rally’s aim was to unify and organize disparate groups who favor the preservation of federal lands but have been divided by arguments about how such lands ought to be managed. The group who organized it is called Idahoans for Public Lands.

“As a group of public land users in this audience, we have a diverse background, a background in all different sorts of public land use,” said Jimmy Hallyburton, a mountain biker who emceed the event.

“I think today is a credible example of what can happen and what power we can create when Idahoans come together.”

“Hell, yeah,” the crowd chanted in reply.

Martin Hackworth is executive director of sharetrails.org, formerly known as the Blue Ribbon Coalition, a group that lobbies for greater motorized access on federal lands.

Many of the people he

More than 2,000 gathered at the Capitol for a public lands rally on Saturday. has fought with about that issue — groups that favor restricting motorized use — stood next to him Saturday.

“We all have a say-so regarding public land,” he said. “… One of the things that happens in a democracy is you don’t get 100 percent of everything you want. You sit down and hammer out a deal.

I’m here to support these people because, on this issue, we all see things the same way.”

Hackworth’s position hasn’t changed, and neither have his opponents’. But with a growing sense that public lands are in danger, he said what was most important was for all of them to have a seat at the table.

“Public land is our birthright,” he said in an interview. “All of us are stakeholders in public land, and that’s a great part of this country. It’s unique. If you go to Europe, they don’t have public lands like there is in the United States.

They hold their (dirt bike) races in rock quarries.”

And Hackworth said transferring public lands

to states is “the first step toward our not owning these resources as a society.”

“The reason for that is I lose my seat as a stakeholder,” he said. “The federal government has recreation as a mandate.

It’s part of what you have to do with public land. States have no such mandate.”

And Hackworth said if federal lands are transferred to states, it’s only a matter of time before state officials have to sell them off to the highest bidder.

“Every state has a mandated balanced budget,” he said. “So you’re a single forest fire, a single wellfunded lawsuit away from having to make a choice about whether you’re going to close a school or sell off some public land.”

Policymakers will face that choice all the time, he said.

“It will be so tempting,” agreed Margaret Fuller.

Fuller is the author of several trail guides and books about Idaho outdoor recreation, including the first comprehensive guide to hiking trails in the Sawtooth and White Clouds ranges. She started hiking and backpacking in the central Idaho mountains in

Waste

From Page A1 with the DOE waste retrieval has built “confidence and trust” with state officials, which could “pave the way for future (AMWTP) activities, whatever they may be.”

Susan Burke, INL oversight coordinator for the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, said her agency has not received a formal proposal from DOE about the facility’s future use. But it would be something state regulators would consider, she said, as long as the proposal met regulations laid out in the 1995 Settlement Agreement.

“It’s something we’ve done in the past, and it’s something we’d be amenable to doing again,” Burke said.

The idea of shipping transuranic waste from outside Idaho to the AMWTP for treatment isn’t new. It has already been done with about 700 cubic meters of waste over the years. The 1995 Settlement Agreement allows for bringing in a transuranic waste shipment for treatment, as long as it leaves the state within one year.

A 1999 DOE environmental impact statement on the proposed construction of the AMWTP anticipated the possibility that “additional quantities of waste” might come to the facility from 14 other DOE sites around the country. A 2008 DOE analysis recommended sending transuranic waste to AMWTP from sites that “do not have the capability to process this waste.” It also identified waste from 14 sites that could be sent to AMWTP for treatment.

1957. Her life has centered around public lands, she said, and she isn’t ready to give up on them now.

Luke Nelson travelled from Pocatello to speak at the event.

A professional trail runner, he’s used to traveling long distances. Very long distances. He came in third in his first marathon, which he ran because he lost a bet, with no prior training. His personal record is a 155-mile run.

“Public lands are where I do my work. It’s where I practice my craft,” he said in an interview.

Nelson said he would rather be spending his Saturday as he spends most of his days, running through trails in public lands throughout the state. But Nelson has children, and he said he came to speak at the rally because he wants his children to have the same opportunities that he did.

“That’s what makes America what it is: All of us own this land, and it needs to stay that way,” he said. “(If federal lands are transferred) the interest of the public will not be put first.

The interests of extraction will be put first.”

waste should be shipped to AMWTP “because setting up duplicative characterization or other necessary facilities at other sites would not be practical or cost effective.” AMWTP cost about $560 million to construct.

The facility has capabilities not found elsewhere. It has a remote-controlled supercompactor that smashes 55-gallon steel drums full of waste into three-inch tall “pucks.”

Other equipment safely sorts and repackages the waste without putting workers in danger.

Last year, AMWTP underwent an approximately $10 million overhaul.

Officials said much of the new equipment was needed to simply finish the job of treating the Idaho waste over the next two years.

But the upgrades were also made with an eye toward the future, and bringing in more waste in the coming years from outside the state.

Roughly 20,000 cubic meters of waste could potentially come from the Hanford Site in Washington, according to a 2015 DOE presentation, with roughly 8,000 cubic meters from the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, and 6,500 from Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

Other sites have much smaller quantities that could be shipped to the facility.

Herb Bohrer is chairman of the Idaho National Laboratory Citizen’s Advisory Board, and a former DOE director overseeing AMWTP. He said he and the board are “absolutely” supportive of continuing the facility’s mission by accepting outside waste.

“The facility has shown over time that it’s fully capable,” Bohrer said. “It would be a shame not to use it.”

Group effort saves Idaho Falls skier’s life POST REGISTER

A backcountry skier owes his life to resuscitation efforts from Grand Teton National Park rangers, Teton County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue members and the efforts of his ski party, according to a news release from Grand Teton National Park.

Emergency personnel received a call Friday afternoon about a backcountry skier having chest pains.

The skier, Mike Connolly, 61, of Idaho Falls, was skiing with three other family members and friends when the incident occurred. The reporting party, located on

the southwest ridge of Maverick Peak in the park, had a cell phone and was able to provide GPS coordinates.

A helicopter from Teton County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue — with three county search and rescue members — were sent to help a park ranger and a county member in the rescue.

Connolly had gone into cardiac arrest and CPR efforts were in progress by other members of the party when rescuers arrived. Rescue personnel used a defibrillator once and Connolly regained a pulse and began breathing.

A short time later he was able to verbally communi-

cate, according to the news release.

Connolly was transported to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls. His current condition is unknown.

“The persistent training and teamwork with the Teton County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue Team helped to obtain the outcome that we always strive to achieve during these incidents.

As a result of this well-orchestrated effort, our skier has a very hopeful second chance in life.” Grand Teton National Park Superintendent David Vela said in the news release.

Yellowstone roads begin closing for spring plowing POST REGISTER

The winter season in Yellowstone National Park is quickly winding down.

Oversnow travel will close on roads throughout the park beginning today, according to a park news release. All oversnow travel will end for the season on March 15. The release said spring plowing will begin soon after that, and all roads will likely open to

Probe

From Page A1 edge an investigation when initially asked about the company in late November.

Yellowstone Partners CEO Eric Rubin, who was hired last month, said Thursday the firm was “fully cooperating with investigators,” and “our real focus is servicing our clients.” He said he didn’t think the company had “anything to hide.”

Established in 2005 by Idaho Falls resident Dave Hansen, Yellowstone Partners has “a clear objective of being among the premier wealth management firms in the nation,” according to its website.

It manages about 3,000 accounts, some worth millions of dollars. According to a firm brochure, clientele for its management and financial planning services is made up of “high net worth” and “ultra-high net worth individuals.”

The firm’s luxury stone and stucco headquarters is located off Sunnyside Road and Merlin Drive. It has seven satellite offices, including a Boise branch that opened in 2015, with roughly two dozen employees.

The Wednesday morning FBI raid — where agents spent several hours seizing computer files and other records — capped months of turmoil within the company, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation who spoke to the Post Register on the condition of anonymity, due to the ongoing investigation.

Yellowstone attorney Brett Tolman confirmed that the federal investigation, as well as an internal audit the firm is conducting, is looking for inappropriate fees taken from client accounts going back several years. He said a

The release said temporary travel restrictions or closures can occur at any time. For current information on road conditions and closures, visit go.nps.gov/ YellRoads, or call 307-3442117 for recorded information.

number of fees have been refunded to clients.

Tolman, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah, said the SEC and FBI probes were “parallel proceedings.” While the SEC is looking for compliance issues with the company itself, the FBI has a more narrow criminal investigation, he said.

“At this point, we’re just as interested as anybody else to make sure the appropriate fees were taken out,” Tolman said.

Former employees say significant irregularities — what appeared to many as over-billing — were found last spring by Yellowstone employees in a number of client accounts. The former employees say the events touched off an internal controversy over what had caused the irregularities, which appeared isolated to one group of accounts under one adviser.

Several Yellowstone employees left the firm by the early summer. Some said they felt uncomfortable with the situation. The SEC conducted an audit of the company around the same time.

In July, the firm hired Karen Steighner, a compliance consultant from Denver, who according to her website “provides executive-level direction and oversight of enterprise-wide audits, risk assessments, investigations and compliance reviews.” In August, Yellowstone filed with the SEC a flurry of 11 quarterly reports dating back to 2013 detailing its investment holdings, according to commission records.

In the weeks leading up to the November raid, the FBI began quietly interviewing former employees of the company; it is not known when the agency began its probe.

At least five more people, some who said they were caught off-guard by the seriousness of the developments, have departed the

company in recent months since around the time of the raid, according to the sources and employee listings posted on the Yellowstone website.

As of last month, a major leadership shakeup had occurred, according to employee listings on the website and an SEC form. Instead of his longtime role of president and CEO, Hansen was listed along with several others as a wealth management adviser. Hansen did not return a call or email this week seeking comment.

Other people have also moved out of Yellowstone’s top leadership posts, including Cameron High, the longtime chief compliance officer and a minority owner, who recently departed his job with the company and was no longer listed on the website.

Rubin is the new CEO, having been hired last month from the New York City firm RiskX Investments. In addition to their Yellowstone roles, Hansen and Yellowstone’s current Chief Investment Officer Rick Baird had worked together as portfolio managers at New York-based American Independence Financial Services, of which Rubin was president.

American Independence later became RiskX. Baird declined to comment about the investigation.

Rubin said he was brought in to “provide some new leadership, and take the firm to a new level.” He said he was already generally familiar with Yellowstone’s operations.

“The most important thing is, we’re going to keep cooperating with (the FBI and SEC),” Rubin said.

“Our clients are all getting serviced, nobody is out any money, there’s no problems with any investments or anything, and we’ll keep working through this with the regulators.”

Dee Dee Jonrowe, of Willow, mushes during the ceremonial start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Anchorage, Alaska, on Saturday.

Fan-friendly event kicks off Iditarod race across Alaska n The official start of race is Monday ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The sound of howling dogs filled downtown Anchorage on Saturday as mushers from around the world gathered for the ceremonial start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

About 2,000 dogs belonging to 72 mushers waited their turn — some more patiently and less vocally than others — to hit the trail this year. The race spans nearly 1,000 miles of Alaska wilderness, including the last stretch when the teams battle the frozen Bering Sea coast en route to the finish line in the community of Nome.

The ceremonial start is a fan-friendly event designed to show off mushing to fans in Alaska’s largest city.

Spectators pet the dogs, mingled with mushers and even grabbed an autograph or two.

Racers then left the downtown area every two minutes in a staggered start with an Iditarider — people who won auctions for a

prime spot in a competitor’s sled — for an 11-mile course on city trails and streets.

Carol Stedman, a retired postal worker from Alexandria, Virginia, was an Iditarider for the fifth time since 2011. That was the first time she came to Anchorage to watch the start of the race.

She said after that initial experience, she crossed the Iditarod off her bucket list and put it on her to-do list.

“You’re in the sled, you see everything going on, it’s like a big party all the way out of town,” she said Saturday morning while wearing a stocking cap fashioned like a Husky dog.

“Seeing the interaction between the mushers and the dogs is just spectacular,” she said. “Everybody should do it once.”

Amanda Gourley of Sacramento, California, had business in Alaska, and decided to stick around to see her first-ever Iditarod.

“I remember as a little girl watching the Iditarod on ‘Wide World of Sports,’ and it’s just one of those things I’ve always wanted to see,” she said. “I love dogs.”

City crews trucked in

snow overnight to make the streets ready for the dog sleds.

Anchorage had more than enough snow to stage the ceremonial start. But just a few hundred miles north, the Alaska Range — a mountain span that includes Denali — has little snow and open-water conditions.

That has prompted race officials to move the competition’s official start from the Anchorage area, over the mountain range to Fairbanks to avoid the dodgy spots. It’s the second time in the past three years, and third in the past 14, that the race has had to move to Fairbanks to find suitable winter conditions to start.

But there is good news for mushers and dogs making the journey to Nome.

“There’s lots of snow on the trail,” race marshal Mark Nordman said after surveying the route late last week. “Lots of deep snow. And when we’re on the (Yukon) river, it’s a freeway.”

The official start of the race is Monday.

KENT, Wash. (AP) — Police in a Seattle suburb were looking for a gunman who shot a man in the arm and told him to “go back to your own country,” the Seattle Times reported.

The victim — a 39-year-old man who observes the Sikh faith — told police that he was working in his driveway about 8 p.m. Friday when the unknown man came up to him, the Times reported.

Male observant Sikhs often cover their heads with turbans, which are considered sacred, and refrain from shaving their beards.

An argument ensued, and the suspect told him to go back to his homeland, the victim said. The victim told police the man then shot him in the arm, the newspaper reported.

The victim told police that the shooter is 6-foot-tall, white and has a stocky build.

The victim said the man was wearing a mask covering the lower half of his face.

Kent police told the newspaper that the agency has contacted the FBI and other law enforcement agencies about the incident.

“We’re early on in our investigation,” Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas said Saturday. “We are treating this as a very serious incident.”

Jasmit Singh, a leader of the Sikh community in the

nearby suburb of Renton, said he had been told the victim was released from the hospital, the Times reported.

“He is just very shaken up, both him and his family,” Singh told the newspaper. “We’re all kind of at a loss in terms of what’s going on right now, this is just bringing it home. The climate of hate that has been created doesn’t distinguish between anyone.”

Sikhs have previously been the target of attacks in the United States. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the backlash that hit Muslims across the country expanded to include Sikhs and their faith as well, with some assuming the sight of a long beard and turbaned head can only mean one thing.

Bus driver shortage may affect sports From the Challis Messenger: Older school bus drivers are getting tired and close to retirement, but younger men and women aren’t applying for vacancies that Challis Joint School District No. 181 Transportation Director Blain Aldous is struggling to fill.

Existing drivers are barely keeping up with routes and sports schedules, Aldous told school board trustees at their Feb. 8 meeting. The ongoing driver shortage is nearing a critical point for extracurricular activities and might lead to cancellations of games down the road, he said. He proposed increasing current salaries, paying for commercial driver training, offering retention bonuses and benefits for all activity and school bus route drivers plus annual step increases to solve the shortage.

Chris Herr and Brandon Jones teamed up to take first place in the Firefighter Mystery Challenge. The young men beat the clock and 15 other teams with a winning time of 1:36, besting the second place team by 12 seconds.

Principals discuss test results From the Shelley Pioneer: Shelley elementary principals Robin Elswood and Ben Lemons reported that the Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI) test results show that their students are doing well, but there are some doubts about its accuracy.

Elswood presented her kindergarten to second grade test results to the public in the Shelley Joint School District #60 Board of Trustees on Feb. 16.

Kindergartners — as well as first, second and third graders — take the IRI test three times a year. Students are tested at the beginning of the school year, again in late spring and then a final test at the end of the school year.

OURVIEW

Level heads prevail … for the most part

I

f you’ve ever wondered what elected representatives and senators can do for their districts during the off-season months, take a look at a couple of examples of good legislative work that came up this week.

First, Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, heard from property owners in her district that gas and oil industry operators had been taking advantage of them. The 46-page bill she introduced in response this week was the result of months of work with Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter, Department of Lands Director Tom Schultz, other legislators and, of course, her constituents. If it becomes law, oil and gas operators must gain approval from more royalty property owners in a “spacing unit” and open up more of the citing process to the public.

Next, Rep. Wendy Horman, R-Idaho Falls, prevailed in her proposal to give districts the freedom to use leftover funding after health care expenses at their own discretion. A competing bill would have kept health care expenses as a separate line item. Horman told Clark Corbin of Idaho Education News that “Given there was such a strong opposition to new line items and, in fact, a call to consolidate line items, we decided to find a hybrid way to both identify costs for this year and identify projections as we move forward.” Horman’s thorough understanding of the myriad ways school districts could use un-earmarked funding and of the state’s complicated and overworked system of budgeting — and her goals for fixing it — have paid off again.

Finally, civil asset forfeiture.

This one was a rare animal, indeed. Written by Idaho Freedom Foundation-approved conservative Rep. Steven Harris, R-Meridian and Demo-

Associated Press file

Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter delivers his State of the State address Jan. 11 inside the House chambers at the state Capitol building in Boise. cratic Rep. Ilana Rubel, Boise, this civil asset forfeiture bill is a much-needed bipartisan “Kumbaya” moment for our state. The bill, which passed the House this week, limits the practice of police confiscating property they suspect may be linked to drug crimes and keeping it without any clear due process for the owner to get it back if they’re not charged.

Given that excellent example, it feels like kind of a free fall when you look at the real stinkers from the week.

Rep. Heather Scott,

R-Blanchard and Rep. Christy Zito, R-Hammett, attempted to kill a bill that would update Idaho’s notary law, last updated in the 1980s — before electronic signatures and e-documents were invented. Scott and Zito took issue with the idea that the 1980s version of the notary law would be replaced with “Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts,” from the Uniform Law Commission.

Scott thought the Commission, which proposes model legislation that puts Idaho in compliance with other states, was too new-fangled. According

to a report by Betsy Z. Russell in the Spokesman-Review, Scott said she thought Idaho had been adopting uniform law for only a couple of years.

Sen. Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, a member of the Uniform Law Commission since around 2001, was quick to point out the Commission had been in place since the late 19th century.

Not one to back down, Scott moved to hold the bill in committee since laws like the notary update were “globalized planning for Idaho law.”

She lost because her argument

made little sense. Legislators should never become speed bumps when they’re arguing on behalf of their constituencies, but doesn’t Scott ever tire of being wrong, then looking foolish for refusing to quit when it becomes apparent she has no idea what she’s talking about?

But the worst and wackiest of the week goes to Vito Barbieri, R-Dalton Gardens, who introduced a bill to exempt communications, including emails, between Idaho legislators from public disclosure.

Why? So they can more “freely” discuss legislation.

That’s right. The legislation they’re writing because they are elected to represent the public is apparently too full of secrets for public view.

Makes no sense to us either.

House speaker Scott Bedke, in a press conference this week, told reporters, “Don’t panic.”

He felt the bill was “borne out of frustration” from those lawmakers who can’t afford to pay staff and must process public records requests themselves.

But the part that makes us a little panicky, frankly, is that the bill passed out of the House State Affairs committee without a hearing, without debate and without discussion.

What could a bill like this do in a state where it turns out businessmen casually suggest in emails to their political allies that Fish & Game commissioners shouldn’t be reappointed because they refuse to consider something the public doesn’t want, but the businessman does? It’s not like that’s ever happened.

These depths of darkness are where democracy goes to die.

Lawmakers take a step toward liberty with a bill to reform Idaho’s The Snake River Animal Shelter will soon host its annual ‘Fur Ball’ civil asset forfeiture laws, writes Wayne Hoffman. to support its mission of helping animals in Idaho Falls, writes Vickie Christensen.

Civil asset forfeiture reforms

H

ouse members on Thursday voted 58-10 to reform the state’s civil asset forfeiture laws, in effect limiting when law enforcement can seize a person’s property in connection with a purported drug crime.

House Bill 202 Wayne Hoffman now heads to the Guest columnist Senate. Praise goes to Reps. Steven Harris, R-Meridian and Ilana Rubel, D-Boise, who spearheaded the effort.

During deliberations, Harris and Rubel confronted critics who claimed that voting for the bill would be viewed as being “soft on crime.” They countered others who complained that it would tie the hands of law enforcement. Neither concern is true.

Consider, for example, what happened not long ago to Dan, who owns a lovely, private spread in Oneida County.

After law enforcement received a tip that Dan had a meth lab on his property, they performed a raid.

They cuffed Dan and placed him in the back of a squad car. Police proceeded to raid his house and his outbuildings.

They combed through his possessions, emptying drawers, rifling through closets.

Behind his house, they found an abandoned laetrile lab, housed in a semi trailer, which decades ago was used to experiment with finding natural cures for cancer.

It wasn’t a meth lab, but law enforcement declared it such and seized the property therein and the trailer. In Dan’s house, they found a small amount of marijuana for personal use. How did police respond? Officers seized anything of value from Dan’s home. Gold. Silver.

Guns. Money.

Ultimately, police did not pursue charges against Dan. But law enforcement kept his property. His lawyers worked to get the property back, with little luck. Dan was told his property

Definitions

would remain with law enforcement with little hope of it being repatriated. After many months, authorities in southeastern Idaho offered Dan a deal: He’d get about 97 percent of what was his. Law enforcement agencies would keep the rest. That 97 percent deal did not include Dan’s semi trailer, which was destroyed for reasons no one has explained. Dan was left with an option: continue to fight for what was his, with legal costs likely to eclipse the cost of his property, or give up and take what was offered. He chose the latter.

An Idaho State Police officer told lawmakers that civil asset forfeiture abuse doesn’t happen in Idaho. But Dan’s case illustrates that it does. How often? No one knows — because there is no requirement in state law for civil asset forfeitures to be tracked.

House Bill 202 offers several reforms to civil asset forfeiture to protect innocent people like Dan. For example, it declares that the confiscation of one’s assets should be proportionately connected with the crime and proportional to the crime alleged. In doing so, it could prevent the reoccurrence of cases like the one in Oneida County, where assets completely unconnected to Dan’s minor crime were seized simply because they were in Dan’s house where his marijuana was found.

HB 202 would also require that records be kept regarding civil asset forfeiture, to allow policymakers to better understand how the law is used and if additional reforms are merited.

The right to property is fundamental to our liberty. Property rights are the underpinning of a free society and, importantly, a civil society. House Bill 202 is an important step in the right direction, balancing law enforcement desires to go after the bad guys with the need to protect property rights and due process of the innocent.

Hoffman is executive director of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, a conservative policy research and advocacy organization.

SRAS fills important niche

I

love having two furry beings, Lucy and JoJo, who are always tail-wagging-excited to see me when I come home. Technically, I rescued them from an animal shelter, but in many ways they have rescued me by providing happy Vickie companionship. Also, Christensen their love of walks Guest columnist and a tennis ball chase game inspire me to exercise. I am always looking for community organizations to highlight, and the Snake River Animal Shelter (SRAS) is definitely a positive one.

The mission statement of SRAS is “to improve and save animal lives by promoting quality care and compassion through adoption and education in the upper Snake River Valley.” This shelter takes owner surrenders and transfer animals from other shelters, which helps reduce overcrowding at the city operated shelters throughout eastern Idaho. SRAS does not do euthanasia, but they do offer adoption services and a place for animals to socialize with each other as they wait for their new homes.

My son Tyson and I recently toured the shelter. It has a lobby area, two dog rooms, a puppy room, a cat room and a room for animals and humans to meet and greet each other. Employees chart on a white board when the dogs have eaten, pottied or had outdoor time. A neat feature of the shelter is the outdoor space where dogs can socialize and play.

The dogs were excited to see visitors and were vocalizing that they would love to be adopted into a forever home. In the puppy room, a terrier named Bobo was so charming, I was tempted to bring Lucy and JoJo home a new friend. Proceeding to the cat room, we discovered that at any given time a certain number of cages

are open for cats to roam in their room.

A happy cat was playing with a toy on a couch the day I visited.

In its first year of operation the shelter adopted out about 900 animals. All animals adopted at SRAS come spayed or neutered, with their immunizations, and microchipped. I am sure any of the animals I visited would be happy to join a family!

President Nancy Jones stated, “As President of the Snake River Animal Shelter Board of Directors, I feel confident in saying that the vision of the Board is to increase our budget to run 60 percent from operations, and 40 percent from donations, grants and community giving by increasing public awareness of the needs of SRAS. The Board also wishes to continue our status as a ‘no-kill’ shelter, one that does not kill healthy or treatable animals even when the shelter is full, reserving euthanasia for terminally ill animals, or for those considered dangerous to public safety.”

The Snake River Animal Shelter is located at 3000 Lindsay Boulevard.

Tax-deductible donations will help ensure its continuing success. Also, volunteers and supply donations are very welcome.

The Fur Ball, SRAS’s biggest fundraiser, is coming up March 11 at the Shilo Inn. Check out the website at snakeriveranimalshelter.org for more detailed information.

Our fur friends add much joy to our lives, but they are dependent on humans.

James Herriot, British writer and veterinarian, said, “ I wish people would realize that animals are totally dependent on us, helpless, like children, a trust that is put upon us.”

The Snake River Animal Shelter is an amazing place, which has accepted that trust and is deserving of community support.

LaMoyne Parker

On Feb. 24, 2017, Maralyn died of a broken heart. She was a very tender and fragile flower who needed much love and security to thrive. Her blooming period was sadly shortened.

Maralyn was born Sept. 12, 1940, in Rexburg, Idaho. She was preceded in death by her parents, Nielsen Archie and Flossie Jensen; her two brothers, Frenchy and Dennis Jensen; and her precious son, Jason.

Maralyn graduated from Madison High School and then went on to Ricks College, which is now Brigham Young University - Idaho. She earned an x-ray technology certificate and worked as the chief x-ray technician in the LDS Hospital in Idaho Falls.

Her brother, Frenchy, was a pharmacist at the hospital, and he hired Rick as a technician. This is where they met.

Rick was smitten with her beauty, her charm and that she was so engaging.

When he was working, Frenchy constantly had to shoo Maralyn away from the pharmacy so Rick could get his work done. She was crazy about Rick from the beginning, and he became, and remained, the love of her life.

They married June 10, 1967, and were off to medical school. Maralyn worked and supported them until Christian was born; after which, they “lived on borrowed money.” She loved being a full-time mom to Christian and Jason, and when grandchildren came along, they were the center of her attention.

LaMoyne Parker, 83, of Teton City passed away at his home Saturday, March 4, 2017, surrounded by his family.

LaMoyne was born April 7, 1933, to Louis and Geneva Parker in Teton City, Idaho. He Parker had two younger brothers Darrel (Patsy) Parker, of Idaho Falls, Blair (Marsha) Briggs, of Idaho Falls, and one sister Carolyn (Danny) Quayle of St. Anthony.

He attended School in Teton and St. Anthony, graduating from South Fremont High School. He married Karen Williams in December 1951. They lived their entire 65 years of marriage (Dad would always add “to the same women!”) in Teton.

He worked for local Farmers and the Union Pacific Railroad and served as Teton City Marshal.

He made his career as a Farmer and worked in potato warehouses in the winter to support his family. He enjoyed fishing hunting and snowmobiling and teaching his six kids how to work on the farm.

In the 1980’s LaMoyne and Karen enjoyed time traveling. Some of their destinations were Hawaii Alaska - Mexico - Australia - France - New Zealand - Puerto Rico - Brazil Germany -Switzerland Fiji - Jamaica - Africa (from top to bottom).

For the past 20 years Karen and LaMoyne have relished their daily outings — driving the country roads of Fremont and Madison County, taking in and appreciating our beautiful valley.

LaMoyne is survived by his wife Karen of Teton; and six children, Nola Jensen of Teton, Louis (Eileen) Parker of Teton, Debbie (Jose) DeLosReyes

Maralyn Jensen Nielsen

Maralyn loved people, could talk to anyone and loved to talk. She was forthright with her opinions and feelings and completely unfiltered. Things were either right or wrong, black or white with her. Maralyn was very passionate about her likes and dislikes. You rarely saw her without a Diet Coke. Rick will miss her gullibility and miss all the fun he had teasing her.

She would believe anything he told her.

After Jason died, 22 years ago, Maralyn fell into a sinkhole that she was never able to totally crawl out of. She lived through times of happiness, mixed with time of depression and despair. Rick’s career propelled him forward, but Maralyn became very fragile. The best medical care could not help her find a sustaining joy in her life.

Maralyn will be remembered for her unmatchable charm, her love and devotion to family and her loyalty to many, lifelong, dear friends. She took such pride in her son, Christian, her daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, her adorable grandchildren and especially, her beloved husband, Rick.

We will miss her beautiful smile and her presence in our lives.

Funeral services will be held at noon Saturday, March 4, at Federal Heights Ward, 1300 Fairfax Road, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Viewings will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. today at Larkin Mortuary, 260 E. South Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah, and one hour prior to services at the church. Interment will be at Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Rae Kern Rae Christina Madsen Kern passed away in Sandy, Utah on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017.

She was born in Salt Lake City on July 10, 1924, to Elmer Leroy and Sarah Ellsworth Kern Madsen.

She was the sixth of eight children.

Rae loved spending time with her own family and her four surviving sisters.

She was appreciative of our pioneer heritage. As a child, she was close to her grandmothers who spoke to her often of crossing the plains and sacrificing their all for the cause of Zion.

She always mentioned how very deeply converted to the Gospel they were.

Rae grew up learning the value of hard work on the family dairy farm in the Millcreek area of Salt Lake.

She was sealed to Reese Shipley Kern in the Salt

Lake Temple on March 19, 1945. They had seven children.

Throughout her life, Rae served in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in any calling that she received. She was gifted at working with teenagers, passionate about the Scouting program and was instrumental in implementing the Explorer program in the Teton Peaks Council. She served alongside her husband as a missionary in the Florida Tallahassee Mission and in the presidency of the Denver Colorado Temple. Rae had an enduring testimony of the Restored Gospel.

She was a talented gardener who believed that the inside of the house would take care of itself if the outside was beautiful. Rae was a perpetual student and voracious reader. She resumed her university studies at Idaho State University once her children were semi-independent and graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in 1979. She was a member of Colonial Dames and the Mayflower Society. Personal relationships were important to Rae and she cultivated enduring friendships.

Even during her decline, she was concerned about the welfare of others and developed a soft sweetness of spirit. In her semi-consciousness towards the end “Thank you — thank you” were her last words.

On Christmas Eve 1928 there came into the Madsen home a radio program announcing that a wellknown contralto was about to sing a lullaby to all children everywhere. She sang “All Through the Night” in English and German. Rae’s father picked her up and together with her Grandmother Madsen sang the words to the song in Danish — All through the night, sleep my child and peace attend thee … guardian angels God will send thee … All through the night.

Our mother was watched over to the last beat of her heart and passed as the sun crested the Wasatch.

Rae is survived by Richard and Jaci (Hilton), Ralph and Connie (Plant), Marilyn and Howard Arrington, Paul and Kathryn (Gates), Robert and Cindy (Smith), Jane McGee, Holly and Michael Thomas and 36 grandchildren and 45 great grandchildren and a sister Erma Madsen Nelson.

A memorial service will be held on March 11, at 11 a.m. in the Willowcreek Stake Center, 2350 E. Creek Road. Interment in the Preston, Idaho cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Perpetual Education Fund would be greatly appreciated.

Cold Bulldogs fall to Bears in 2A state title game n Ririe’s first trip to state since 2004 ended the same way Saturday B y VICTOR FLORES vflores@postregister.com

NAMPA — Nothing felt awry after one quarter. Then the shots stopped falling.

The Ririe High School boys basketball team trailed Bear Lake 17-16 going into the second quarter of Saturday’s 2A state title game. The Bulldogs’ offense was flowing, their twin towers posed problems and their 2-3 zone was fine.

Ririe scored 23 points the rest of the way, and Bear Lake pulled away.

The Bears (23-4) earned a 56-39 win Saturday afternoon at

the Ford Idaho Center for their first state title since 1996, when they played in 3A. The 27-year championship drought for the Bulldogs (24-3) will last at least one more season.

“We have to convince ourselves that we had a great season,” Ririe coach Eric Torgerson said. “We made a run at it. We had a chance to be state champions. But right now, it just hurts so much.”

Ririe’s previous state tournament appearance occurred in 2004, and it ended the same way as this year’s trip. In 2004, Wendell beat the Bulldogs 79-46 to claim the 2A crown.

The long state layoff made this season feel extra special for the Bulldogs. But they didn’t sneak into this year’s tournament. They bulldozed their way in. Ririe entered the postseason 22-2,

including a 3-1 record against three-time defending state champion Firth.

Bear Lake handed Ririe its other loss, and it wasn’t particularly close. Two weeks after the Bulldogs beat the Bears 61-55 at home, they fell 60-46 at Bear Lake. It was Ririe’s lowest-scoring game of the season until Saturday.

The Bulldogs shot a mediocre 8-of-24 (33.3 percent) in the first half. The Bears weren’t much better, but they led 29-22. Bear Lake went 12-of-35 (34.3 percent) from the field thanks to an equal number of offensive rebounds (nine) as Ririe and a turnover advantage (Ririe had eight, Bear n The Bulldogs switched to man-to-man in the second half Ririe, Continued on Page B2

Sugar-Salem ends a 23-year state title drought with an overtime thriller

n Hayden Wood scored a career-high 27 points for the Diggers in their 71-69 win over Snake River

B y VICTOR FLORES vflores@postregister.com

NAMPA — Everything signaled another win for the Madison High School boys basketball.

After an early hole in Saturday’s 5A state consolation final, the Bobcats looked in control of Bonneville for the fourth time this season. But with a 39-38 Madison edge, the faucet shut off for both teams.

Nine total points were scored after that point (2:08 left in the regulation). The Bees scored six.

Bonneville (16-11) lost by a combined 71 points to Madison (22-3) in the teams’ first three 5A District 5-6 meetings this season.

The point differential doesn’t matter to the Bees now. They beat the Bobcats — ranked No. 1 in the 5A media poll all season — 44-42 in overtime Saturday at Columbia High School.

NAMPA — Shawn Freeman was a freshman at Sugar-Salem High School the last time the Diggers won a boys basketball state championship.

On Saturday, he sat in the head coach’s chair on Sugar’s bench.

From there, he watched his team end a 23-year title drought.

The Diggers (20-5) held off Snake River (21-4) in a 71-69 overtime white knuckler Saturday in the 3A state title game at the Ford Idaho Center. Sugar’s fifth state championship in school history was its first since 1994.

“I don’t think it will sink in for a while,” Freeman said. “Just a special year. A special team.”

Few drought-ending title wins are possible without career performances. Sugar got two on Saturday.

Hayden Wood scored a careerhigh 27 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field. The senior guard also hit 6-of-7 3-pointers and 5-of-8 free throws.

In the second quarter, when the rest of his teammates were off target, Wood hit a pair of 3s to decrease a seven-point and eightpoint deficit, respectively. Midway through the third, he hit two more threes to help Sugar gain its first lead since early in the first.

“I didn’t start too hot,” Wood said. “I just caught on, let the game come to me.”

Wood had help, too. Senior forward Parker Miller scored 10 of 22 points in the third quarter,

Idaho Falls finishes the season 13-14, with a list of accomplishments that includes an unexpected 4A District 6 championship, the Tigers’ first state appearance since 2011 and the program’s first state victory since 1999.

“There are a lot of things going right at Idaho Falls right now,” said Peterson, who also led the Tigers with seven rebounds. “This was a great experience, and with the kids we have coming up, hopefully this lays the foundation for what’s to come.”

Bishop Kelly (21-5) was fresh off a buzzer-beating loss to Preston in Friday’s semifinals, but there was no hangover on Saturday morning. The Knights blitzed Idaho Falls early, hitting outside shots and forcing turnovers to lead 19-10 after one quarter and 44-26 at halftime.

“We don’t usually play that brand of basketball,” Peterson said of the high-scoring pace.

“But when you play a team as talented as Bishop Kelly, you’re going to have to put up points.

We couldn’t match them in the first half.”

fall. But rather than fold, the Tigers fought back, erupting for 28 third-quarter points to get back in the game.

“We started playing with a lot more intensity,” Idaho Falls coach Howard Hart said. “As a coach, that makes you proud because of the heart and the character our kids showed today.”

Idaho Falls closed the gap to seven points in the fourth quarter, but the Tigers couldn’t get over the hump. Austin Staker finished with 12 points,

At Capital High School, the Firth High School boys basketball team ended its season with a dominating 72-45 win over Melba to win the 2A state consolation game and take a trophy home for the fourth consecutive season.

The Cougars, who shot 55.7 percent from the field for the game, led 32-21 at halftime and outscored the Mustangs 40-24 in the second half. Firth poured in 22 points in the fourth quarter while holding Melba to eight points. The Cougars also had nine turnovers to Melba’s 16 and 28 rebounds to 25 by the Mustangs.

Ririe won the glass and cut the turnovers down in the second half, but the shots weren’t firing. The Bulldogs made 5-of-30 (16.7 percent) field goals in the final two quarters.

“Sometimes the negative of having a lot of success is you don’t know what to do when you get in certain situations,” Torgerson said.

The Bulldogs’ switched to man-to-man in the second half and held Bear Lake to 5-of-15 (33.3 percent) on field goals. But the damage had been done.

Ten locals make Idaho Statewide All-Star rosters n The annual game takes place March 25 at North Idaho College POST REGISTER

Eastern Idaho will send 10 players from nine schools to the annual Idaho Statewide All-Star basketball games later this month.

The rosters for the games, which take place March 25 at North Idaho College, follow the theme that was introduced last year: the Boise metropolitan area vs. the rest of the state. Prior to last year, the teams were divided into north Idaho vs. south Idaho. The switch was made to allow for more slots for players from south Idaho, although the ‘metro’ rosters don’t consist solely of athletes from the Treasure Valley.

Madison’s Leah Dougherty, Sugar-Salem’s Amanda Rudd and Teton’s Jenna Abbott will play

for the Region girls team while Butte County’s Macy Hansen and Ririe’s Haddi Williams will play for the Metro girls, which will be coached by Butte County head coach Carla Hansen.

On the boys side, Blackfoot’s Jarod Greene and Idaho Falls’s Sawyer Storms will play for the Region team while Madison’s Jaxon Edelmayer, Madison’s Con Ball and Skyline’s Carson Lott will play for the Metro team.

The complete rosters are below.

Region girls Kayla Fagan, Coeur d’Alene; Lauren Rewers, Lake City; Nina Carlson, Lake City; Iris Domebo, Lapwai; Koyama Young, Lapwai; Leah Dougherty, Madison; Maddy Tucker, Salmon River; Kelsey Auer, St. Maries; Amanda Rudd, Sugar-Salem; Jenna Abbott, Teton; Keelie Lawler, Timberlake; Allison Kirby, Timberlake.

The Bulldogs will lose six seniors, including Torgerson’s son Staten. Coach and son shared a long embrace during the second-place trophy presentation after the game.

“I just told him I loved him and I was really proud of him,” coach Torgerson said. “He’s like those other (seniors). They’ve given so much. He’s always wanted to be a state champion, and he knew he wasn’t able to live out his dream.”

Torgerson noted how far his team has come.

The Bulldogs finished the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons dead last in 2A District 6. They were secondto-last in 2015-16.

“Then in one year, we’re playing for a state championship,” Torgerson said.

“We’ve gotta remember perspective. What a comeback as a program.”

accounting for half his team’s points in those eight minutes.

Despite Wood’s and Miller’s efforts, the Diggers trailed by two heading into the fourth. Wood and Miller came through again, combining to score 12 of Sugar’s 15 points in the quarter.

The biggest shot in the fourth, however, came from Luke Holt. The senior wing drained a corner 3 to give Sugar a 54-53 lead with 1:41 left.

Wood made two trips to the free throw line about a minute later, and he split his four attempts. That left the door open for Snake.

Trailing 56-54 with 9.2 seconds left, the Panthers tried to win it. But Coby

Young missed a corner 3, seemingly ending Snake’s title hopes. But with two seconds on the clock, Clancy Thomas (26 points, 8-of-15 on field goals) grabbed the rebound and made a layup to send the game into overtime.

Sugar wasn’t phased.

The Diggers built a 66-59 lead with less than two minutes left.

It seemed all but over.

Snake kept coming.

Carson Dance cut the deficit to 66-61, and Sugar’s Jaron Rose split his following free throws. Porter Baldwin (13 points, 6-of-14 on field goals) sunk a deep 3, and the deficit became 3. Miller sunk both his free throws, and Wood split a pair on the next offensive possession. But Thomas sandwiched Wood’s foul shots with two layups.

Thomas’ second bucket was

an and-1, which he converted to make the score 70-69.

With 14.3 seconds left, Holt split his free throws.

Bridger Truman (15 points, 7-of-14) dribbled down the right side and fired a 3. It didn’t reach the basket, and the buzzer sounded. A celebration 23 years in the making commenced on the other side of the court.

“It feels like heaven,” Miller said.

Snake only loses three seniors (Baldwin, Truman and Anderson), so coach Robert Coombs sounded optimistic about next season.

“Hopefully we’ll be back next year,” Coombs said.

Sugar loses seven seniors, including four starters (Holt, Miller, Wood and Junior Gonzalez). The other three are Rose, Cameron Garner and Taevin Norman.

“You always keep the big things in the back of your mind, and you always reach for your end goal,” Wood said. “We came to state, and we just battled the whole time.”

Freeman didn’t play in that 1994 title game, but he can now claim something in common with his mentor Glenn Romney, who coached Sugar to back-toback 3A titles in 1993 and 1994.

“That tradition got me into coaching, helped me out in my life,” Freeman said. “Just really happy to win one right after him.”

taken out on Thursday,” Hawkins said. “Today, knowing it was the championship day game, I know in their minds they still hadn’t gotten over it. It just took its toll.”

Saturday’s point problems didn’t eliminate drama. Bonneville gained a 17-6 lead after one quarter and led by as many as 18 points in the second. The Bobcats trailed 29-11 with about two minutes left in the half, saddled with a 5-of-22 (22.7 percent) shooting slump.

Madison proceeded to finish the quarter on a 9-0 run, which grew to 16-1 early in the third quarter and 23-8 by the start of the fourth.

The next 12 minutes

were an exercise in deliberate offense and exhaustion. The teams combined to attempt 19 field goals in the fourth quarter and overtime.

“Both teams were out of gas,” Tucker said. “The more either one of us ran, the more tired we got. It just came down, in all honestly, to getting a break at the end and taking advantage of it.”

The score was tied at 42-42 with 32.2 seconds left in overtime when Harrigfeld went to the free throw line. He split the foul shots, giving Madison a chance for the win.

With four seconds left, Madison senior forward Nate Webb drove into the lane. Harrigfeld shuffled

in front of him, and Webb was called for a charge.

It was the first charge Harrigfeld has drawn this season, he said.

Harrigfeld split his subsequent free throws, and Jaxon Edelmayer’s halfcourt prayer went unanswered as time expired.

“I felt like I was about to pass out,” Harrigfeld said.

The win gave Bonneville its first state trophy since 2014, when the Bees won the 4A third-place trophy. On Saturday, Dillon Sorensen scored 19 points (6-of-10 from the field, 5-of-6 from the line), while Harrigfeld added eight points (3-of-5 from the field) and 12 rebounds.

Harrigfeld was one of nine seniors on Bonne-

ville’s roster this season.

“You saw an extremely talented group of individuals come together and be a team,” Tucker said.

“That’s why I kept so many seniors. I thought it was important for us to be a group together.”

Mason Downey scored 19 points (8-of-16 on field goals), and Webb added 11 (5-of-14) for Madison, which lost twice as many games during the state tournament as it did before it.

“They’re the best team in the state of Idaho. I’ll say it to this day,” Hawkins said of his team. “They had one goal this year, and they were good enough to do it.

You know what? It doesn’t always happen.”

The Bobcats will lose eight seniors, including five starters (Downey, Webb, Jaxon Edelmayer, Branden Edelmayer and Konner Jackson).

Hawkins said he isn’t sure if he’ll return for his 30th season as Madison’s head coach.

“Still a little bit up in the air,” he said.

seed and a first-round bye despite a choppy season.

They were picked to finish eighth in the conference preseason poll.

Stanford (14-16, 6-12) must wait to find out its seed in the tournament.

“It was an uphill battle for us,” Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. “I talked about it three weeks ago and I think everybody thought I was crazy when I said we were still aspiring to be the fourth seed until somebody tells me otherwise. A few things fell into place from outside sources and we took care of all the business we needed to take care of.

Both teams were sloppy throughout, but Bonam took over down the stretch on both ends of the floor to put the Cardinal away. The Utes used a 14-2 run late in the game, including nine from Bonam to take an eight-point lead after trailing most of the day. Bonam had back-toback steals and layups to go up 62-54. Stanford never led again.

Thomas makes an ace and takes lead in Mexico n Thomas, going for his fourth PGA Tour victory of the season, rode a hole-in-one to a 5-under 66 B y DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

MEXICO CITY — Justin Thomas hit a 6-iron that onehopped into the bottom of the cup. Dustin Johnson hit a wedge that never came down from a tree. In one of the 10 fairways that Phil Mickelson missed, a spectator apparently ran off with his golf ball.

Even better than the wild action Saturday in the Mexico Championship was the promise of more to come.

Thomas, going for his fourth PGA Tour victory of the season, rode a hole-in-one to a 5-under 66 to take a one-shot lead over Dustin Johnson at Chapultepec Golf Club. Right behind were Mickelson and Rory McIlroy, who saw his momentum stall when his flip wedge on No. 12 struck the pin and spun back.

Such a world-class leaderboard should have been enough to delight the crowd at Chapultepec Golf Club.

It was how they got there that made it so entertaining.

Thomas was lingering around the leaders, trying to piece together a swing, when he was caught between clubs from 239 yards away on the par-3 13th. He hit 6-iron and sent the crowd into delirium when it bounced once and disappeared into the cup.

“It looked perfect,” he said. “I think I said, ‘Go in.’ You might as well say it,” Thomas said while watching the shot on a TV

Justin Thomas, of the U.S., tees off on the 17th hole in round three of the Mexico Championship at Chapultepec Golf Club in Mexico City on Saturday. All but one of the world’s top 50 golfers are contesting the World Golf Championship PGA event, which this year relocated to Mexico City from the Trump National Doral Resort in Florida. monitor. “I haven’t hit too many shots exactly how I wanted. I liked this result.”

Johnson was tied for the lead when his second shot on the 16th got stuck in a tree. He had no choice but to walk back to the original spot and hit his fourth shot that settled 15 feet from the cup. Just his luck, the ball fell out of the tree as he was walking to the green.

“It happens,” Johnson shrugged after a 66. “I did make a nice putt for bogey, though, so I was definitely happy about that.”

Johnson is happy when he sees

any putt fall into the cup. He is swing as beautifully as he did at Riviera two weeks ago when he won by five shots, but missing seven out of 15 putts from inside 7 feet has made him wonder if the greens are conspiring against him.

“If it’s not the greens — someone is playing goalie up by the hole — the trees are catching my ball,” Johnson said.

No one was more wild than Mickelson, who used to thrive on such scrambling skills. This time, he was disappointed. Mickelson thought he had those big misses off the tee out of his system, but

they returned in a big way on Saturday. He missed seven out of eight fairways in one stretch, and through 12 holes, he had more drops than he had birdies. He still managed a par when the spectator made off with his golf ball. He managed par after taking a drop from a sprinkler into bushes.

He still managed a 68, and was just two shots behind.

“I’ve shot numbers like this hitting shots like that and salvaging strokes, but I’ve been playing better than that,” Mickelson said, clearly disappointed.

“That looks like the way I’ve hit it

the last three years — all over the place and saving shot. I haven’t been doing that this year. I wanted to come out here and strike the ball the way I’ve been striking it, and then to hit it the way I did was disappointing.”

McIlroy was playing in the final group with Mickelson for the first time on a weekend, and his round of 70 was comparatively boring.

If anything, he felt he lost a little rhythm waiting on Mickelson to get rulings on three consecutive holes to start the back nine.

“Phil rode his luck out there,” McIlroy said. “But geez, if I was hitting it off the tee like he did today, there’s no way I would shoot 68. That’s the great thing about Phil. ... I would be a mess if I was hitting it the way he was today. I guess that’s the difference between us. I like to see it going down the fairway and playing nice that way, where he goes like this and shoots two better than me. So there you go.”

At nearly 7,800 feet of elevation, the final round figures to be up in the thin air. That might even include Jordan Spieth, who set the course record with an 8-under 63 and was among a dozen players within five shots of the lead.

Lee Westwood, who has played in more World Golf Championships than anyone since they began in 1999, shot 31 on the back nine for a 66 and was three behind, along with Spanish rookie Jon Rahm, who had a 67.

Johnson is trying to become the fifth player to win in his debut at No. in the world, and he still likes his position. He will be in the final group with Thomas and McIlroy.

“I have a lot of great players chasing me,” Thomas said. “I just have to go out and make a bunch of birdies.”

Ross completed the feat on his first attempt Saturday, breaking Chris Johnson’s record of 4.24 seconds in 2008.

While Ross was winding down, he appeared to hurt his left leg. The NFL Network reported that Ross wouldn’t do any more drills during the workout because of sore calves.

Ross told the league’s television network he felt good but “got tight at the end.”

NEW YORK — Stephen Curry screamed, turned and kicked the nearby wall, disgusted by another missed jumper. It was just practice and most of his other shots went in, so there was little reason for concern.

But if he keeps misfiring in games and the Golden State Warriors keep losing them, there might be.

With Curry in a rare shooting slump and the Warriors on an even rarer losing streak, the NBA leaders are facing adversity — at least by their standards — as they visit the New York Knicks on Sunday.

Curry is 4 for 31 from 3-point range through three games of the Warriors’ road trip, with most of the last two games coming after Kevin Durant was injured.

The Warriors found a way to win the opener in Philadelphia — when Curry missed

all 11 attempts behind the arc — but they then dropped games in Washington and Chicago to end their NBA-record streak of regular-season games without consecutive losses at 146.

“We haven’t lost two in row in a long time obviously and we’ve been in a rut on this trip in general,” coach Steve Kerr said after practice Saturday at a court in the Manhattan building where the players’ union is headquartered. “We’re not making shots, but we’re also well aware that this is just a blip on the radar screen.

We’ll be fine and I’m not concerned at all. We just have to play better.”

Klay Thompson is also struggling, and the Splash Brothers really dried up Thursday, going a combined 3 for 22 on 3-pointers in a 94-87 loss in Chicago. But the Warriors don’t seem stressed and don’t think defenses are crowding the guards more

than normal without having to worry about Durant.

“We’ve had plenty of openings and creating decent shots, just haven’t gone in in the last three games,” Curry said. “But that happens as you go through a long season, you just have to fight through it and not let it affect how you play. Obviously if we make a couple more shots in Chicago the game’s a little different. Philly it was a struggle but we found a way to win, so just got to stay on the mission of letting the offense create good things for us and still have confidence to knock down shots.”

The Warriors were held to their lowest point total of the season Thursday.

Curry and Thompson were a combined 15 of 49 from the field. Those are performances Golden State can’t afford without Durant, its leading scorer who is lost for at least four weeks with a knee injury.

“It happens to the best of them, so you just move on,” All-Star Draymond Green said. “You try to make plays, get them the ball and get them open shots, knowing that more often than not they’ll fall. But everybody has shooting struggles.”

Curry seemed to rush some shots late in the last loss, and he’s trying to be more aggressive in Durant’s absence without changing the way the Warriors play. Kerr said Curry and Thompson — who is 7 for 33 behind the arc on the trip — had plenty of space to shoot.

“The only thing that jumps out on tape is that they’re taking some quick ones that we could probably move the ball a little bit more and get better shots,” Kerr said. “We’re still getting good shots. I think we can get great shots if we move it a little better.”

PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump on Saturday accused former President Barack Obama of tapping his telephones during last year’s election, lodging a startling allegation of abuse of power without evidence or explanation.

An Obama spokesman declared the assertion “simply false.”

In a series of angry morning tweets, Trump suggested his predecessor was behind a politically motivated plot to upend his campaign. He compared the alleged events to “Nixon/Watergate” and “McCarthyism!” He called Obama a “Bad (or sick) guy.”

President Barack Obama speaks Jan 18 during his final presidential news conference in the briefing room of the White House in Washington.

LOS ANGELES — Dozens of police departments around the U.S. are amassing their own DNA databases to track criminals, a move critics say is a way around regulations governing state and national databases that restrict who can provide genetic samples and how long that information is held.

The local agencies create the rules for their databases, in some cases allowing samples to be taken from children or from people never arrested for a crime. Police chiefs say having their own collections helps them solve cases faster because they can avoid the backlogs that plague state and federal repositories.

Frederick Harran, the public safety director in Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania, was an early adopter of a local database. Since it was created in 2010, he said robberies and burglaries have been gone down due to arrests made because of the DNA collection.

Harran said the Pennsylvania state lab takes up to 18 months to process DNA taken from a burglary scene but with the local database authorities go through a private lab and get results within a month. He said he uses money from assets seized from criminals to pay for the private lab work.

DNA is found in cells and provides a genetic blueprint unique to each person.

Blood, saliva, semen, hair, and skin are among the biological clues a criminal might leave at a crime scene and investigators need only a few cells to create a profile.

Police typically get a DNA sample by swabbing the inside of a person’s mouth.

That sample can then be compared against others in a database to see if a match occurs.

Some police departments collect samples from people who are never arrested or convicted of crimes, though in all such

Immigration courts: record number of cases, many problems n Before Trump became president, the nation’s immigration courts were burdened B y KATE BRUMBACK Associated Press

ATLANTA — Everyone was in place for the hearing in Atlanta immigration court: the Guinean man hoping to stay in the U.S., his attorney, a prosecutor, a translator and the judge. But because of some missing paperwork, it was all for nothing.

When the government attorney said he hadn’t received the case file, Judge J. Dan Pelletier rescheduled the proceeding. Everybody would have to come back another day.

The sudden delay was just one example of the inefficiency witnessed by an Associated Press writer who observed hearings over two days in one of the nation’s busiest immigration courts.

And that case is one of more than half a million weighing down court dockets across the country as President Donald Trump steps up enforcement of immigration laws.

Even before Trump became president, the nation’s immigration courts were burdened with a record number of pending cases, a shortage of judges and frequent bureaucratic breakdowns. Cases involving immigrants not in custody commonly take two years to resolve and sometimes as many as five.

The backlog and insufficient resources are problems stretching back at least a

decade, said San Francisco Immigration Judge Dana Marks, speaking as the president of the National Association of Immigration Judges.

“It would be a shame if the mistakes of the past continue to be repeated,” Marks said, citing previous attempts to ramp up enforcement without providing adequate resources to the courts.

Trump’s recent executive orders and subsequent memos from Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly have focused on hiring more enforcement agents to find and detain people in the country illegally, but the administration has been largely silent on beefing up immigration courts.

The system includes 58 courts in 27 states. Their job

Trump supporters slam opponents n Groups of hundreds of people rallied for President on Saturday Associated Press

From Colorado’s state Capitol to Trump Tower in New York and the Washington Monument, groups of hundreds of people rallied for President Donald Trump on Saturday, waving “Deplorables for Trump” signs and even carrying a life-size cutout of the president.

Chelsea Thomas, an accountant from Thornton, Colorado, brought her family to the March 4 Trump rally in Denver — and the life-size cardboard cutout of

People appearing in immigration court are generally considered to have the right to an attorney, but the court isn’t required to provide one for free as in criminal cases. Rulings can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and board decisions can be appealed to a federal appeals court.

Of 374 authorized immigration judge positions, 301 are filled. Fifty more candidates are in various stages of the hiring process, which

Wire

From Page C1 rebukes from Democrats and Republicans alike who find his habit of venting on social media to be beneath the office of the president.

After delivering a well-received speech to Congress earlier this week, the tweets reflected the president’s growing frustration with the swirling allegations about his advisers’ ties to Russia, which are under FBI investigation, and his team’s inability to overcome them. Trump lashed out at his senior team during an Oval Office meeting Friday, according to one White House official.

The White House did not respond to questions about what prompted the president’s accusations that Obama had tapped his phones. Presidents cannot legally order wiretaps against U.S. citizens.

Trump said Saturday morning he had “just found out” the information, though it was unclear whether he was referring to a briefing, a conversation or a media report. The president has in the past tweeted

Trump. She said the family has taken it with them on camping trips, boat rides and a country music festival.

“It’s nice to be surrounded by people who share your morals and opinions,” said Thomas, as her son walked back and forth across the grass with a Trump flag.

Many in the crowd held American flags or wore red, white and blue and held signs with messages like “Veterans before Refugees.”

Police in Berkeley, California, say 10 people were arrested after Trump supporters and counter-protesters clashed during a rally that turned violent and left seven people injured. None of the injured was hospitalized.

A dagger, metal pipes, bats, pieces of lumber and bricks were

confiscated, police said.

Six people protesting the rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, were arrested on felony riot charges after they lit fireworks inside the Minnesota State Capitol and fled, police said. About 400 people attended the event, and about 50 showed up to protest it.

In Nashville, two people were arrested as protesters clashed with Trump supporters at the Tennessee Capitol. In Olympia, Washington, the state patrol says four demonstrators were arrested at a rally in support of Trump, KOMO-TV reported. Authorities did not say if the people arrested were pro-Trump or antiTrump. The station reports that the demonstrators are accused of assaulting a police officer.

Near Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach Post reported that people on both sides exchanged profanity. Trump’s motorcade briefly stopped so he could wave at supporters.

In Ohio, Trump supporter Margaret Howe, 57, of Pataskala, said she increasingly fears civil war.

“We did not want to have something like this happen,” she said, adding, “We came out today because Trump deserves to see he still has people for him. It’s just all sad.”

A group of counter protesters gathered nearby, separated from the rally by police tape. They chanted “No Trump. No KKK. No fascist USA” and held signs with messages like “Your vote was a hate crime.”

Hundreds gathered in rallies on both ends of Pennsylvania to show support for Trump.

At a North Carolina rally, speakers said the dishonest media and left wing politicians were bordering on sedition in their opposition to the Republican president.

Some men were seen walking through the Raleigh crowd carrying a Trump flag as well as a Confederate flag. Gathered just behind the rally was a handful of protesters, some of whom blew air horns in an attempt to disrupt the event.

“We’re gonna take our country back and we’re gonna establish borders and have legal immigration and law and order,” said Cherie Francis, of Cary, North Carolina.

DNA

typically takes about a year, said Kathryn Mattingly, a spokeswoman for the Executive Office for Immigration Review.

The office “constantly evaluates the need to shift its resources,” Mattingly said, and is reviewing ways to maximize its efforts on “priority cases.”

In all, more than 534,000 cases were pending before immigration courts nationwide in February, according to a recent memo from Kelly.

Advocates worry the Trump administration will increase the use of procedures that allow authorities to deport people without using the court system at all.

“Instead of actually trying to make the courts better, they just want to use them less, even though that obviously is deeply problematic from a due-process standpoint,” said Omar Jadwat, director of the

American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants’ Rights Project.

The increased use of detention could also lead immigrants with valid claims for staying in the U.S. to accept deportation, just to avoid extended periods of time in detention, Jadwat said.

Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which pushes for strict immigration policies, said the greater threat of detention could deter people from coming to the U.S. or encourage some who are here to leave.

Mehlman agrees the system is broken, but said advocacy groups and lawyers who keep filing new motions and appeals are part of the problem.

“They understand that time works to their benefit and that the longer you can drag this out, the more bites

at the apple you can get, the greater the likelihood that you can find some plausible reason for remaining here in the United States,” he said.

When asked if adding more cases to the backlog could threaten the due-process rights of noncitizens, Marks said it is the job of immigration judges to make sure that doesn’t happen.

“But the pressures on the system certainly do allow more opportunities for errors to be made,” she said.

“You try to do your best to hear things fairly but also quickly, and there is always a tension between how you strike that balance.”

Slowing down can be more efficient because people are less likely to appeal if they feel their cases have been fairly heard, Marks said. More careful consideration also means a case might be less likely to be overturned.

the person is supposed to voluntarily comply and not be coerced or threatened.

State and federal authorities typically require a conviction, arrest or warrant before a sample is entered into their collections.

“The local databases have very, very little regulations and very few limits, and the law just hasn’t caught up to them,” said Jason Kreig, a law professor at the University of Arizona who has studied the issue. “Everything with the local DNA databases is skirting the spirit of the regulations.”

It’s unclear how many police departments maintain their own DNA databanks because they are subject to no state or federal oversight, but

police in California, Florida, Connecticut and Pennsylvania have spoken publicly about their local databases.

In San Diego, in addition to voluntary samples taken from adults, police officers are allowed to take samples from juveniles who aren’t arrested or convicted as long as they are for investigative purposes and the children sign a consent form. After the sample is taken, a police officer is required to contact the child’s parent or legal guardian to tell them a DNA swab was collected.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against San Diego last month alleging the policy “purports to sideswipe” restrictions implemented by a California state law that bars those samples from being entered into the state’s DNA database.

about unsubstantiated and provocative reports he reads on blogs or conservative websites.

Still, the morning tweets stand out, even for the perpetually piqued Trump, given the gravity of the charge and the strikingly personal attack on the former president. Trump spoke as recently as last month about how much he likes Obama and how much they get along, despite their differences.

“How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process.

This is Nixon/Watergate.

Bad (or sick) guy!” he tweeted, misspelling ‘tap.’

Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said a “cardinal rule” of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered in Justice Department investigations, which are supposed to be conducted free of political influence.

“As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen,” Lewis said, adding that “any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”

Rep. Adam Schiff of Cal-

ifornia, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement that Trump was making “the most outlandish and destructive claims without providing a scintilla of evidence to support them.”

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., called on Trump to explain what he knows about the wiretapping allegations “ideally to the full public, and at a bare minimum to the U.S. Senate.”

Trump has been trailed for months by questions about his campaign’s ties to Russia. The questions have been compounded

by U.S. intelligence agencies’ assessment that Russia interfered with the election to help Trump triumph over Hillary Clinton, along with disclosures about his aides’ contacts with a Russian official.

Those disclosures have already cost retired Gen. Michael Flynn his job as national security adviser and prompted calls from Democrats for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign.

On Thursday, Sessions recused himself from the FBI probe after acknowledging he did not disclose

his campaign-season contacts with Russia’s ambassador to the United States when asked during his confirmation proceedings. Sessions, a U.S. senator at the time, was Trump’s earliest Senate supporter.

The Sessions revelations deepened the president’s anger over what he sees as his team’s inability to get ahead of the Russia allegations.

In the Oval Office meeting Friday shortly before departing for Florida, he angrily told senior advisers that what had the potential to be a good week following his address to Congress had been overtaken by the Russia controversy, according to a White House official who insisted on anonymity in order to discuss the private meeting.

Chief of staff Reince Priebus, who was scheduled to depart with Trump, was told to stay in Washington, the White House official said. Chief strategist Steve Bannon also stayed behind, though he eventually traveled to Florida on Saturday with Sessions.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Priebus and Bannon had volunteered to stay in Wash-

ington.

In his morning tweets, Trump said the wiretapping occurred in October at Trump Tower, the New York skyscraper where he ran his campaign and transition. He also maintains a residence there.

The president’s allegations may be related to anonymously sourced reports in British media and blogs, and on conservative-leaning U.S. websites, including Breitbart News.

Those reports claimed that U.S. officials had obtained a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to review contacts between computers at a Russian bank and Trump’s New York headquarters.

The Associated Press has not confirmed these contacts or the investigation into them. Bannon is a former executive chairman of Breitbart News.

FISA is a 1978 law that created a system to hear requests to surveil foreign intelligence agents. It differs from a regular criminal warrant because it does not require the government to provide probable cause that a crime has occurred.

Instead, under FISA, the government must simply

provide evidence that the target of an investigation is an agent of a foreign power.

Such targetable agents would include Russian diplomats such as Sergei Kislyak, the ambassador who spoke with a number of Trump aides. But a FISA warrant could also include others for whom investigators could muster probable cause, potentially including entities directly connected to Trump.

Obama could not order a FISA warrant. Obtaining one would require officials at the Justice Department to seek permission from the FISA court, which is shrouded in secrecy. Judges could order prosecutors to share FISA information with defendants if they deem it necessary for challenging a search’s legality, but courts have consistently agreed with the government that disclosing the material could expose sensitive intelligence secrets.

One exception to this practice is the president himself, who has the authority to declassify records. In Trump’s case, he could confirm any such surveillance of his campaign or business undertaken before he took office in January.

Zinke vows to review coal leasing program WASHINGTON (AP) — Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is promising a comprehensive review of the agency’s coal leasing program, even as President Donald Trump moves to do away with an Obama administration moratorium on new coal leases on federal lands.

Trump, who has vowed to revitalize the slumping coal industry, is expected to issue an executive order any day now abandoning the Obama-era moratorium on new coal leases on federal lands. Zinke said he will “look at everything across the board” on coal, adding that the department is likely to revamp the leasing program to ensure maximum value for coal companies and taxpayers alike. The former Montana congressman was sworn in Wednesday as Interior secretary. He spoke to reporters Friday after an introductory speech to Interior employees.

Environmental programs face cuts under proposal n Trump plans to submit his budget to Congress the week of March 13 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration would slash programs aimed at slowing climate change and improving water safety and air quality, while eliminating thousands of jobs, according to a draft of the Environmental Protection Agency budget proposal obtained by The Associated Press.

Under the tentative plan from the Office of Management and Budget, the agency’s funding would be cut by roughly 25 percent and about 3,000 jobs would be cut, about 19 percent of the agency’s staff.

President Donald Trump has said he plans to pay for billions of dollars more for the military by cutting spending on domestic agencies and departments.

Trump plans to submit his

budget to Congress the week of March 13.

A spokesperson for the EPA declined to comment.

The agency had the opportunity to respond to the initial proposal, and any final plan would be subject to congressional approval, which likely is months away at the earliest.

The EPA is now under the leadership of Scott Pruitt, a former state attorney general for Oklahoma, who has questioned the scientific consensus that human activities are contributing to global warming and joined lawsuits against the agency’s emission curbs.

Proposed cuts include slashing the climate protection budget by nearly 70 percent to $29 million, cutting the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative by 97 percent to $10 million and environmental justice programs by 79 percent to $1.5 million.

Environmental groups said the proposed cuts would threaten thousands

of jobs and could harm health and safety protections for millions of Americans. The proposals would especially affect programs to address climate change and enforce clean air and water laws, they said.

“Instead of working to protect American families, President Trump’s plans put the interest of big-money special interests over people,” said Nat Mund, legislative director of the Southern Environmental Law Center, a Virginia-based advocacy group.

The proposal would all but eliminate funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a wideranging cleanup of the world’s largest surface freshwater system that has deep bipartisan support across the eight states adjacent to the lakes, from Minnesota to New York.

The program has received around $300 million annually from the federal budget during former President Barack Obama’s tenure —

more than $2.2 billion in all. Under the Trump proposal, it would get only $10 million.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Michigan Democrat, described the proposed cut as “outrageous.”

“This initiative has been critical to cleaning up our Great Lakes and waterways, restoring fish and wildlife habitats, and fighting invasive species, like Asian carp,” Stabenow said. “I call on President Trump to reverse course on these harmful decisions.”

Congress in December authorized continuing the program through 2021 at $300 million a year, although separate annual votes are needed to provide the money. In a Feb. 8 letter to Trump, the 20-member Congressional Great Lakes Task Force called for maintaining current funding. Among House members signing it were Republicans Bill Huizenga of Michigan, Sean Duffy of Wisconsin and David Joyce of Ohio.

Republican’s necks,” Debbie Meadows wrote.

Rep. Meadows said Friday that his wife sent the email to a small group of friends and relatives in an effort to support him.

“She was trying to help her husband, she is distraught that this is a distraction and she probably is more distraught because she really respects and admires Paul Ryan,” Meadows said.

Another GOP rebel, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, said that at a presentation Thursday, leaders played clips of Trump’s joint session speech, with the goal of convincing lawmakers that they are aligned with the president on the pending bill. But Massie dismissed the effort as “very unconvincing.”

The lawmakers are criticizing the developing legislation as “Obamacare lite.”

Trump to host Germany’s Merkel

WASHINGTON (AP) — As part of a sustained assault on the extremist group known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, U.S. warplanes have launched more than 30 airstrikes in Yemen the past two days, a Pentagon spokesman said Friday.

Navy Capt. Jeff Davis told reporters that U.S. airstrikes have targeted members of the group as well as their facilities, equipment, fighting positions and heavy weapons such as artillery. Davis said the number of bombs dropped in the airstrikes numbering in the “mid20s” had been launched on Thursday, followed by several more Friday, putting the combined total at more than 30.

The number of AQAP members has grown and estimated there are a couple thousand, a senior U.S. official said. The

credits that form the centerpiece of the legislation, and which they say would amount to a costly new entitlement. Instead they’re demanding a vote on a straightforward repealonly bill.

group has light anti-aircraft weapons and possibly have shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles, the official said. Over years of fighting, the group captured many weapons from the Yemeni government.

The official was not authorized to provide details about the group’s threat publicly, so spoke on condition of anonymity.

Without specifying plans, Davis said the U.S. is undertaking a sustained campaign in areas of Yemen where AQAP is most active. He said no U.S. ground troops have been involved in, or even in the vicinity of, firefights there since a late-January special operations raid.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the White House later this month. White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders says the meeting will take place on March 14.

It will be the first in-person meeting between Trump and the German chancellor since the U.S. election.

Trump frequently criticized Merkel during his campaign, presidential accusing her of “ruining Germany” by taking in large numbers of refugees.

Merkel, who wields significant sway in Europe, was critical of Trump’s refugee and immigration travel ban, which was blocked by the courts.

Sanders did not offer details on what the two may discuss.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Capitol is suddenly awash with troublemakers and rebels — and that’s just the Republicans.

Whatever GOP unity was produced by Donald Trump’s victory in November has all but disappeared, and Republican leaders are confronting open rebellion in their ranks as they try to finalize health care legislation.

Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress this week was well-received, but did little to repair divisions.

In the Senate, a trio of conservatives that’s been a thorn in the side of leadership is back at it again. And in the House, recalcitrant

conservatives are banding together and threatening to foil House Speaker Paul Ryan’s plans for swift passage of the legislation to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s health law.

“Currently there are not enough votes to pass it in the House,” Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina, head of an influential group of conservatives, declared in an interview Friday.

Meadows said leaders appeared to believe they could jam the bill through by twisting arms and getting Trump to make calls, but insisted such tactics wouldn’t work on him without substantial change to the bill. His opposition is such that his wife sent out an email urging opposition to the bill, as reported by Politico this week. “It will end up being Ryancare and the disaster will be wrapped around

lackluster. The integration of the companies has prompted cost cuts that have helped boost the bottom line.

WORLD al-Basit, the brigade’s commander, confirmed the report.

Polish official: Women Journalist shot dead in Guerrero state are inferior to men WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A Polish member of the European Parliament has launched another sexist tirade, calling it a “20th century stereotype that women have the same intellectual potential as men,” and that the stereotype “must be destroyed because it is not true.”

Janusz Korwin-Mikke’s insults on Friday in Warsaw came two days after he told the European Parliament that “women must earn less than men because they are weaker, they are smaller, they are less intelligent.”

The president of the Parliament opened an investigation Thursday into the comments, for which Korwin-Mikke could face sanctions such as a reprimand, a fine or a temporary suspension.

His latest blast came after he was challenged by female lawmakers during a visit to the Polish parliament in Warsaw. Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus, from the Modern party, accused him of offending women and said she would not allow him to do it again.

Militias seize control of Libyan oil terminals BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Libyan militias occupied major oil terminals on Friday after clashes with armed forces based in the east and commanded by army chief Gen. Khalifa Hifter, military officials said, amid fears the facilitates could sustain serious damage if the clashes escalate. At least nine soldiers were killed.

Faisal al-Zwei, the spokesman for the 101 Brigade, based at the so-called oil crescent region, told The Associated Press that some 1,000 militiamen in 200 vehicles clashed with the eastern armed forces over the oil terminals of al-Sidra and Ras Lanuf on Friday, forcing the army units to retreat.

He said the militias were joined by fighters loyal to eastern militia commander Ibrahim Jedran, the secessionist fighter who took over and oversaw the terminals until Hifter’s forces seized them last year. Mohammed

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — A journalist has been murdered in the troubled southern state of Guerrero, Mexican authorities said Friday, adding to a long list of reporter killings in what is considered one of the world’s most dangerous countries for media professionals.

The Guerrero state prosecutor’s office said in a statement that Cecilio Pineda Birto was shot dead Thursday evening in Ciudad Altamirano while in a hammock at a car wash waiting for his car to be serviced. Prosecutors said two attackers arrived on a motorcycle and one of them fired a handgun, according to eyewitness accounts.

Authorities were investigating, and there was no immediate word on whether his killing may have been related to his work.

U.N. mediator concludes ‘tough’ Syria talks in Geneva

n Talks in Astana are expected to Bombers destroy 3 fuel tankers in Nigeria continue as well

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Three suicide bombers set ablaze three fuel tankers in the center of Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri before dawn Friday, officials said, just days before a planned visit by the U.N. Security Council.

Soldiers fired at one of the bombers, a teenage girl, to avert what could have been a major attack on the city’s main fuel depot, according to the police chief and a witness.

The attack, outside a gas station opposite the northeastern headquarters of the Central Bank of Nigeria, killed only the three bombers, said Abdulkadir Ibrahim, spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency.

GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations special envoy for Syria concluded Friday a marathon round of talks in Geneva with an agreement from the conflicting parties to pursue further talks on a political transition to end the six-year war.

For nine days, seasoned diplomat Staffan De Mistura engaged in day-to-night proxy talks with a delegation representing the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and three opposition groups that only converged for the opening ceremony. Speaking to reporters after another long day of meetings, the envoy called the round of talks “substantive” and said the parties had agreed to return later in March to discuss

four points — governance, constitution, elections and counter-terrorism.

“The train is ready, it’s in the station, it’s warming up its engine,” he said. “It just needs an accelerator.”

Setting the agenda proved a delicate task in this round of talks, dubbed Geneva 4, which aimed to restore hope for a negotiated solution to a conflict that has raged for six years and claimed, by most counts, nearly half a millions lives.

De Mistura said that after a 10-month pause, the talks were unavoidably dominated by procedure, but he credited all sides for also addressing issues of substance. He noted that Damascus placed emphasis

on terrorism and the opposition on a political transition.

He said all parties understood they were working toward implementation of a U.N. Security Council framework that sets out a “clear timetable” to draft a new constitution for Syria within 12 months and for free and fair elections to be held within 18 months.

But, the envoy warned, there are “people in Syria and outside who still believe there is a military option or a military solution.”

“That is fantasy,” he said, adding that the United Nations would work in the coming weeks and months to settle the conflict.

De Mistura said the Geneva talks had the

support of key regional player Turkey, which supports the opposition, as well as the allies of Damascus, Russia and Iran. The three countries are the guarantors of a cessation of hostilities agreement mediated in Astana, the capital of Kazakstan.

The talks in Astana, like those in Geneva, are expected to continue. De Mistura said the efforts on these two fronts were complementary, with cease-fires leading to productive talks and productive talks in turn helping maintain cease-fires.

“If we don’t have productive talks, (the) cease-fire won’t last,” he said. “We are really working hand in hand but there are two hands.”

Turkey’s Erdogan: Arrested journalist is ‘German spy’ n Relations are already strained between the two countries

Farah Abdi Warsameh / Associated Press

Displaced Somali girls who fled the drought in southern Somalia stand in a line Feb. 25 to receive food handouts at a feeding center in a camp in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Somalia: 110 dead from hunger in past 48 hours n Severe drought is threatening millions of people across the country MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia’s prime minister said Saturday that 110 people have died from hunger in the past 48 hours in a single region — the first death toll announced in a severe drought threatening millions of people across the country.

Somalia’s government declared the drought a national disaster on Tuesday. The United Nations estimates that 5 million people in this Horn of Africa nation need aid, amid warnings of a fullblown famine.

Prime Minister Hassan

Ali Khaire spoke during a meeting with the Somali National Drought Committee. The death toll he announced is from the Bay region in the southwest part of the country alone.

Somalia was one of four regions singled out by the U.N. secretary-general last month in a $4.4 billion aid appeal to avert catastrophic hunger and famine, along with northeast Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen.

All are connected by a thread of violent conflict, the U.N. chief said.

The U.N. humanitarian coordinator, Stephen O’Brien, was expected to visit Somalia in the next few days.

Thousands have been streaming into Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, in search of food aid, over-

whelming local and international aid agencies. Over 7,000 internally displaced people checked into one feeding center recently.

The drought is the first crisis for Somalia’s newly elected Somali-American leader, President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed.

Previous droughts and a quarter-century of conflict, including ongoing attacks by extremist group al-Shabab, have left the country fragile. Mohamed has appealed to the international community and Somalia’s diaspora of 2 million people for help.

About 363,000 acutely malnourished children in Somalia “need urgent treatment and nutrition support, including 71,000 who are severely malnourished,” the U.S. Agency

for International Development’s Famine Early Warning Systems Network has warned.

Because of a lack of clean water in many areas, there is the additional threat of cholera and other diseases, U.N. experts say.

Some deaths from cholera already have been reported.

The government has said the widespread hunger “makes people vulnerable to exploitation, human rights abuses and to criminal and terrorist networks.”

The U.N. humanitarian appeal for 2017 for Somalia is $864 million to provide assistance to 3.9 million people. But the U.N. World Food Program recently requested an additional $26 million plan to respond to the drought.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Tensions flared between Ankara and Berlin on Friday over the cancellation of two Turkish Cabinet members’ rallies in Germany, and the ongoing detention in Turkey of a German newspaper reporter.

Delivering a speech in Istanbul, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan alleged the Die Welt newspaper journalist was both a German spy and a “representative” of the outlawed Kurdish rebel group, PKK. Erdogan lashed out at Germany and accused Berlin of harboring him for a month at the German Consulate in Istanbul before agreeing to hand him over to authorities.

“They need to be put on trial for aiding and abetting terrorism,” Erdogan said.

An upcoming referendum to increase the Turkish president’s powers has been another flash point. Earlier Friday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke out against Germany over the canceled rallies, saying forces within the German state were working to prevent Turkish leaders from campaigning there for a “yes” vote.

German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer responded that the federal government had nothing to do with the cancellations, and suggested Turkish officials voicing their irritation in the press was in “nobody’s interest” and simply “pouring oil onto the fire.”

The German and Turkish foreign ministers appeared

to tone down the rhetoric later in the day after a telephone conversation during which Cavusoglu relayed Turkey’s “unease” over the cancellation of the Turkish justice and economy ministers’ campaign programs, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said.

It said the two ministers agreed to meet on March 8 in Germany. Gabriel’s office called it a “constructive and engaged” conversation.

Erdogan however, re-escalated tensions hours later, saying Turkey would continue to criticize Germany.

“They are telling us, ‘Why are you whipping up the issue?’” Erdogan said.

“Just you wait, we have only just started. We are going to expose all that you have done in several international meetings.”

Germany’s Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, dismissed Erdogan’s claim that Yucel is a spy as “absurd.”

Relations already were strained between the two countries over Germany’s criticism of Erdogan’s crackdown following a failed coup as a flow of Turkish diplomats and soldiers sought asylum in Germany.

Germany has suggested it may not extradite suspects wanted by Turkey in cases it considers politically motivated, which has prompted Erdogan to accuse Germany of having “become a shelter” for terrorists and for having no regard for other countries’ national security issues.

The growing rift has potential security implications.

Germany has reconnaissance aircraft deployed at a NATO base in Turkey as part of the alliance’s fight against the Islamic State group.

New glasses help the legally blind see The latest version of the glasses, sells for about $10,000

B y MICHAEL LIEDTKE Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jeff Regan was born with underdeveloped optic nerves and had spent most of his life in a blur. Then four years ago, he donned an unwieldy headset made by a Toronto company called eSight.

Suddenly, Regan could read a newspaper while eating breakfast and make out the faces of his co-workers from across the room. He’s been able to attend plays and watch what’s happening on stage, without having to guess why people around him were laughing.

“These glasses have made my life so much better,” said Regan, 48, a Canadian engineer who lives in London, Ontario.

The headsets from eSight transmit images from a forward-facing camera to small internal screens — one for each eye — in a way that beams the video into the wearer’s peripheral vision. That turns out to be all that some people with limited vision, even legal blindness, need to see things they never could before. That’s because many visual impairments degrade central vision while leaving peripheral vision largely intact.

Although eSight’s glasses won’t help people with total blindness, they could still be a huge deal for the millions of peoples whose vision is so impaired that it can’t be corrected with ordinary lenses.

EYE TEST But eSight still needs to clear a few minor hurdles.

Among them: proving the glasses are safe and effective for the legally blind. While eSight’s headsets don’t require the approval of health regulators — they fall into the same low-risk category as dental floss — there’s not yet firm evidence of their benefits. The company is funding clinical trials to provide that proof.

The headsets also carry an eye-popping price tag. The latest version of the glasses, released in mid-February, sells for about $10,000. While that’s $5,000 less than its predecessor, it’s still a lot for people who often have trouble getting high-paying jobs because they can’t see.

Insurers won’t cover the cost; they consider the glasses an “assistive” technology similar to hearing aids.

ESight CEO Brian Mech said the latest improvements might help insurers overcome their shortsighted view of his product. Mech argues that it would be more cost-effective for insurers to pay for the headsets, even in part, than to cover more expensive surgical procedures that may restore some sight to the visually impaired.

NEW GLASSES The latest version of ESight’s technology, built with investments of $32 million over the past decade, is a gadget that vaguely resembles the visor worn by the blind “Star Trek” character Geordi La Forge , played by LeVar Burton.

The third-generation model lets wearers magnify the video feed up to 24 times, com-

Yvonne Felix wears eSight electronic glasses and looks around Union Square during a visit to San Francisco on Thursday. pared to just 14 times in earlier models. There’s a hand control for adjusting brightness and contrast.

The new glasses also come with a more powerful high-definition camera.

ESight believes that about 200 million people worldwide with visual acuity of 20/70 to 20/1200 could be potential candidates for its glasses. That number includes people with a variety of disabling eye conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, ocular albinism, Stargardt’s disease, or, like Regan, optic nerve hypoplasia.

So far, though, the company has sold only about 1,000 headsets, despite the testimonials of wearers who’ve become true believers.

Take, for instance, Yvonne Felix, an artist who now works as an advocate for eSight after seeing the previously indistinguishable faces of her husband and two sons for the first time via its glasses. Others, ranging from kids to senior citizens, have worn the gadgets to golf, watch football or just perform daily tasks such as reading nutrition labels.

EYING THE COMPETITION ESight isn’t the only company focused on helping the legally blind. Other companies working

on high-tech glasses and related tools include Aira , Orcam , ThirdEye , NuEyes and Microsoft .

But most of them are doing something very different. While their approaches also involve cameras attached to glasses, they don’t magnify live video. Instead, they take still images, analyze them with image recognition software and then generate an automated voice that describes what the wearer is looking at — anything from a child to words written on a page.

Samuel Markowitz, a University of Toronto professor of ophthalmology, says that eSight’s glasses are the most versatile option for the legally blind currently available, as they can improve vision at near and far distances, plus everything in between.

Markowitz is one of the researchers from five universities and the Center for Retina and Macular Disease that recently completed a clinical trial of eSight’s second-generation glasses. Although the results won’t be released until later this year, Markowitz said the trials found little risk to the glasses.

The biggest hazard, he said, is the possibility of tripping and falling while walking with the glasses covering the eyes.

The device “is meant to be used while in a stationary situation, either sitting or standing, for looking around at the environment,” Markowitz said.

Extraordinary accidental disasters that I will never duplicate

H

ave you ever managed to do something so ridiculously impossible on accident that it would have taken you Olympic-focused training to accomplish on purpose?

Like, accidentally knocking your phone from the bathroom counter into the toilet with a freakish flick of the flatiron cord? Or laying your hand just so on the keyboard of your computer so that the display turns sideways, and now you have to Google with your head cranked crosswise in order to research how to reverse it? Or, as a joke, your kid hurls your shoe over their shoulder and into the backyard where it lands perfectly into a new pile of dog poo?

This doesn’t happen often in my life, but when it does the

Up in the Night Shauna Belknap Holyoak

results are never in my favor.

Any chance that the half-court basketball toss for a kagillion dollars lands in the actual hoop rather than the gym garbage can? Nope. Might possibly the quarters you drop in the car wash fall into the coin slot rather than plunk through the drain as if drawn by a magnet? Of course not!

Or maybe that recorded message you accidentally sent your ex is a stellar demonstra-

tion of your parenting skills rather than a grouchy tirade about him? NEVER! That last one happened, by the way, six days ago. And lest you think that’s not a feat as ridiculously impossible as I imply, let me tell you about my phone and my expertise in working it.

About a month ago I realized my smartphone had stopped dictating texts. Not only that, but Siri was no longer answering my questions when I called on her to tell me how to spell ‘rigmarole’ or explain the movie “Inception.”

After extensive Googling we discovered that my phone’s front microphone is no longer working. First of all, my phone has two microphones? And second of all, wouldn’t it be

super smart if a two-microphoned smartphone allowed the back microphone to compensate for a faulty front microphone?

In addition to all that, imagine that while your front microphone appears to be in charge of dictating texts, your back microphone seems to be in charge of recording them. What kind of crazy is that? Plus, I have never, nor do I now, know how to record a message in my texting app.

So imagine my surprise when I looked down at my phone to see that I had somehow sent my ex-husband, the father of my children, one of my driving tirades that just happened to be about him. In my defense, I was tired and grouchy and in my car, a safe place for upending

absentee opponents with my brilliant arguments. Of course my absentee opponents never hear them, unless, of course, I record them and accidentally hit send.

I couldn’t duplicate this act if I tried. But at least now my ex has heard my brilliant argument and feels soundly chastised, right?

Now that’s funny. Do we really think this extraordinary accidental disaster includes a happenstance recording of my best and brightest argument with my ex-husband?

Of course not.

Taketwo When it comes to religion, keep asking, searching QUESTION: Are there people who, for whatever reasons, simply cannot take the leap of faith? I have taken a year-long Bible study course I loved; I have attended churches. I neither believe nor disbelieve in God, but agnosticism is not satisfying.

Atheism is, for me, absurd since it asserts what we cannot know, namely that God does not exist. I no longer attend church because I just do not feel what the faithful feel. Yet some of the “faithful” have told me that if I do not believe that I will be eternally damned, I do not accept that judgment either. So, back to my question: are some people congenitally incapable of receiving faith? — From M ANSWER: Yes, I think some people are not set up to be religious. For some this is because they believe religion is irrational and morally corrupt. I spend a lot of time in this column responding to people like them. These are the people who do not really understand the good stories in the news. Others want to believe but

God Squad rabbi marc Gellman

they can’t. I do not spend enough time responding to people like you. They are the ones who do not really understand the bad stories in the news.

My best advice to you is to learn the word “yet.” Do not say, “I cannot take the leap of faith.” Rather say, “I cannot take the leap of faith ... yet.” You are clearly not through with God yet, and God is not through with you yet. Be patient and do not force the issue. The search for faith before you have leaped into it is very much like the search for love before you have fallen into it. I have officiated at the weddings of many brides and grooms who have waited and waited for years to find a soul mate to love. They doubted it would ever happen and then suddenly

without warning it did. Faith is about patience more than belief.

Remember that you are struggling with the greatest mysteries of human existence. Are we more than just material beings or do we also have a soul? Is goodness rewarded and evil punished? Are we alone in the cosmos? It is not possible to resolve these mysteries at one’s whim. I have often quoted the letter of the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke to a young poet: “I would like to beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them.

And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.

Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

Sometimes, however, patience

is not enough. Some of us need grace — a special and unmerited touch by God — in order to make the leap of faith. God cannot touch us through grace (hesed in Hebrew) unless we are ready to be touched. This was the meaning of God’s words through the prophet Isaiah 55:6: “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.”

You will know when you have arrived at faith not when you believe things you cannot believe now but when you see things you cannot see now. My favorite modern man of faith, C.S. Lewis put it this way, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

I believe in you, dear M. I believe that you are closer to faith than you know and the reason for my confidence in you is the excellence and honesty and depth of your questions. It reminds me of a story from the Hasidic tradition in Judaism where Rabbis are

called Rebbes: “The Hasidic rebbe, Simcha Bunim, once went on a walk with his disciples. Along the way, he and his entourage encountered a group of Jews who were engaged in casual conversation. The Rebbe said to his disciples: “Do you see those Jews over there?

They’re dead.” The disciples were confused. Finally, one of them spoke up: “What do you mean, dead? They look perfectly alive to me.”

“They are dead,” the Rebbe said, “because they have stopped asking questions and searching for the right answers.” The Hasidim walked on, pondering his statement. Finally, one of the bolder disciples approached the Rebbe and asked: “Then how do I know that I am not dead?”

The Rebbe turned to him and answered: “Because you asked.”

Keep asking. Someday, with God’s grace, you will live your way into the answer.

Suspicions confirmed Despite California’s 2015 law aimed at improving the fairness of its red-light cameras, the city of Fremont (pop. 214,000, just north of San Jose) reported earning an additional $190,000 more each month last year by shortening the yellow light by two-thirds of a second at just two intersections. Tickets went up 445 percent at one and 883 percent at the other.

(In November 2016, for “undisclosed reasons,” the city raised the speed limit on the street slightly, “allowing” it to reinstate the old 0.7-second-longer yellow light.)

Updates of previous characters Tammy Felbaum surfaced in News of the Weird in 2001 when she, originally Mr. Tommy Wyda, consensually castrated James Felbaum (her sixth husband), but he died of complications, resulting in Tammy’s manslaughter conviction. (Among the trial witnesses: a previous spouse, who had also let “expert” Tammy castrate him: “She could castrate a dog in less than five minutes.”) Felbaum, now 58, was arrested in February at the Westmoreland County (Pennsylvania) Courthouse after mouthing off at security guards searching her purse. She quipped sarcastically, “I have guns and an Uzi (and) a rocket launcher. I am going to shoot a judge today.” (She was in court on a dispute over installation of a sewer line to her trailer home.)

The persnickety trial judge had earlier determined that Florida’s notorious “Stand Your Ground” law did not apply, even though the husband admitted that he was threatening to rough up Alexander and that she never aimed the gun at him. (With that defense not allowed, Alexander was doomed under Florida’s similarly notorious 20-year mandatory sentence for aggravated assault using a gun.)

Atheist parents grieve daughter’s turn toward religion Dear Amy: My husband and I raised two great kids. Our son is now 30 and our daughter 28.

Both of them finished college with high honors and with business degrees. They both got nice jobs in their professions.

We are atheists, but at 18 our daughter starting dating a pastor’s son. His family and church started grooming her with their beliefs, so she would fit nicely into their family belief system and eventually marry.

After going off to college, that relationship ended, and she got serious with another pastor’s son.

Again this fellow and his family groomed her to believe, get baptized, and go on mission trips to South American countries with the intent of her marrying into their family. Well, he dumped her. She quit her job, moved out west and joined an evangelical Christian group.

She pays them to live on their campus while they teach her

Ask Amy Amy Dickinson about the Bible and Jesus. She raises funds for them by asking others for money to support her.

She has been leading this extreme religious life for three years now with no intention to quit and get a paying job. She has rejected our traditional life, and seldom visits.

Her professional clothes hang in our closets and her stuff is in the basement. Her medical care is paid for by the state since she lives under the poverty level.

We are very sad about her decisions. We worry for her safety and her future.

We grieve the loss of our beautiful daughter. We miss the way

our family used to be. Now we have nothing in common with her. Any suggestions on how to cope? — Atheist Mom and Dad Dear Mom and Dad: Some religious groups operate as more or less closed systems, and their adherents turn away from their previous lives in order to operate within the system. I can understand why this is such a loss for you.

You should keep the door open to a relationship with your daughter, regardless of where she is or what she believes. You are going to need to continue to grieve this loss, while accepting her choice and her freedom to make it. Continue to emotionally support her, while not supporting the group or cause.

Visit her. Don’t pressure her or force an ultimatum. Don’t dwell on the life and belief system she has rejected. Focus on your own acceptance, and make sure she knows you are always in her

corner, no matter what.

Research the group she is in and see if you can connect with ex-members or family members of current members. Communicating with other parents will help.

Dear Amy: Our married son and his wife and their two daughters live in the same city as my husband and me. Our relationship with them is not warm, but cordial.

The daughter-in-law communicates with me by email, as we get together for birthdays (her family does the holidays without us, which we prefer).

When she emails me, she always addresses me: “Hello there,” never using my name, even though it is short and easy to write.

Do I ignore it, confront her, use “DIL” for daughter-in-law instead of her name?

Other suggestions? — My

Name Isn’t Hello Dear Hello: I am familiar with this “Hello There” salutation, and I agree that it is off-putting, certainly from a family member, because you are left sincerely wondering if the person knows your name. When I dealt with this exact situation, I responded, asking, “Could you do me a favor and use my name when you write to me? I’d prefer it.” This seemed to work, with no hard feelings (I hope). Your daughter-in-law might feel some awkwardness because she is not quite sure what to call you. If at some point you asked her to call you “Mom,” for instance, she might not feel comfortable, and this is her way of avoiding it. You should also model for her the behavior you would like to see. It might help to bring some warmth to what sounds like a chilly relationship.

‘Shining City’ by Rosenstiel an exciting politcal thriller B y WILL LESTER Associated Press

“Shining City” (Ecco/HarperCollins), by Tom Rosenstiel Ex-Army investigator Peter Rena was in the Special Forces, but now he is a fixer at a consulting firm in Washington, D.C., “with a quiet and vaguely menacing quality about him.”

And he’s not your typical problem-solver in the nation’s capital but “the guy who comes in when PR won’t work.”

Rena and his partner Randi Brooks are pulled into a challenging new assignment from the president after the death of an aging liberal Supreme Court justice, who keels over on the golf course with a heart attack.

They get the difficult job of screening a potential judicial nominee to replace him, with the added pressure of making sure he gets confirmed.

The process of checking

out a potential Supreme Court nominee might not seem the stuff of political thrillers, but author Tom Rosenstiel goes about it by offering perceptive details of the complex process, a smart cast of political and media characters and timely shifting from one chapter — and location — to another. And running in a parallel plotline is a shadowy West Coast character with a taste for homicide.

How these two plotlines are related is a mystery through most of the book — and keeps the pages turning.

While Rena, pronounced rehn-nah as he occasionally reminds his clients, has a fascinating background, he leads a less than compelling life these days, recently divorced and childless. When not out working on assignments, he spends most of his time when at his Civil War-era home near Georgetown, “reading, working and, too often,

that could become a problem for a nominee to the high court.

Rosenstiel skillfully shifts from one scene to the next as he offers fascinating details of life in the capital and outlines many of the hurdles that must be navigated in an assignment like getting a Supreme Court nominee through the thicket of Washington.

And the two plotlines converge as the pace quickens and the story takes a chilling turn.

The author of “Shining City” is a veteran journalist and news media analyst who has written numerous nonfiction books about the intersection of media and politics. His experience in Washington helps create a very realistic, though often cynical, view of what Washington is like.

Perhaps the best measure of his first novel is that it will leave many readers eager to see what comes next for Peter Rena and friends.

Rena, who is Republican, and his partner Brooks, a liberal Democrat, have the job of helping a Democratic president get a federal judge from

northern California cleared to face the high hurdle of confirmation to the Supreme Court. The bipartisan nature of the RenaBrooks team is one of many Washington details that ring true because businesses here are often set up to appeal to those from either political party as long as they can pay the tab.

The team of Rena and Brooks track down Judge Roland Madison in his rustic home in a town near San Francisco, where he lives with his daughter Victoria, a tanned and athletic young lawyer, who soon develops an attraction for Rena.

As the book shifts from one plotline to the next, it soon becomes clear that the menacing West Coast killer has some interest in the activities of the judge and his daughter.

At the same time, Rena and his partner gradually piece together details of the judge’s background from earlier days

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President George W. Bush says he didn’t intend to criticize President Donald Trump when he said recently that a free press is essential to democracy Speaking by telephone Tuesday with The Associated Press, Bush said he was simply responding to a reporter’s question about the role of journalism. Trump has referred to the press as the “enemy of the people,” but Bush said that it’s important to hold those in power “to account,” adding that power can be “very corrupting” and that it was dangerous to “fall in love” with power or fame or money.

He called his own relationship with the media “symbiotic,” with the media needing a story and the president needing to get his message out.

“I understood people were trying to do their job,” he said. “There were moments when I (was) irritated and wanted to tell so-and-so that they missed a story. But I don’t look back and say, ‘This was a terrible part of my presidency.’ ” Bush, 70, is promoting his new book, “Portraits of Courage,” a volume of his paintings of military veterans. The book, officially published Tuesday and No. 1 on Amazon.com, arrives at a time when Bush — highly unpopular when he left office in 2009 — is enjoying

LM Otero / Associated Press

Former President George W Bush speaks during a preview of an exhibition of his paintings of U.S. military veterans in Dallas, on Feb. 28. favorable attention from both Democrats and Republicans for views on the media, immigration and Muslims that are far more moderate than those of Trump.

But the former president, who refrained from commenting on Democrat Barack Obama’s administration, said he intends to do the same with fellow Republican Trump.

“I understand people interpreting my remarks,” he says, “and that’s why I don’t give a lot of remarks.”

These days, he is happy to paint, and to talk about painting and the veterans he has befriended. As he wrote in the introduction to “Portraits of Courage,” he first thought

of taking up painting when the historian John Lewis Gaddis told him in 2012 about an essay by Winston Churchill called “Painting as a Pastime.” Bush, acknowledging that he does get “antsy,” figured painting would be something he “would benefit” from.

The book features 66 portraits and a four-panel mural of veterans he has come to know over the years, with each picture accompanied by a brief essay by Bush. “Portraits of Courage” is not political, although Bush notes one veteran’s story resonates with current events. Juan Carlos Hernandez, a former Army specialist who lost his leg while serving in Afghanistan, is a Mexican immigrant who illegally crossed the border but later became a U.S. citizen.

“Surely people will understand that if someone who is not a citizen is willing to serve our country, we would want to call that person a citizen,” he said Once he’s done doing interviews for “Portraits of Courage,” Bush said he looks forward to resuming a quiet post-presidential life. He said that his parents, former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush, are doing “remarkably well” after some recent health scares.

Barack and Michelle Obama have book deals NEW YORK (AP) — Barack and Michelle Obama have book deals.

The former president and first lady have signed with Penguin Random House, the publisher announced Tuesday. Financial terms were not disclosed for the books, which several publishers had competed for, although the deals are likely in the tens of millions of dollars.

Both Obamas have published through Crown, a Penguin Random House imprint. But Penguin Random House declined comment on which imprint or imprints the books would be released through.

“We are absolutely thrilled to continue our publishing partnership with President and Mrs. Obama,” Penguin Random House CEO Markus Dohle said in a statement.

“With their words and their leadership, they changed the world, and every day, with the books we publish at Penguin Random House, we strive to do the same. Now, we are very much looking forward to

working together with President and Mrs. Obama to make each of their books global publishing events of unprecedented scope and significance.”

The Obamas were represented in negoB. Obama tiations by Robert Barnett and Deneen Howell of Williams & Connolly. Barnett has worked on deals with Barack Obama’s two immediate predecessors, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and with Michelle M. Obama Obama’s predecessors Hillary Rodham Clinton and Laura Bush.

The Obamas plans to donate a “significant portion” of their author proceeds to charity, including to the Obama Foundation. Barack Obama’s book is a strong contender to attract the largest advance for any ex-presi-

dent; the previous record is believed to be $15 million for Bill Clinton’s “My Life.”

The unique dual arrangement announced Tuesday is for books that are among the most anticipated in memory from a former president and first lady. Barack Obama is widely regarded as one of the finest prose stylists among modern presidents, and his million-selling “Dreams from My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope” are considered essential to his rise to the White House. Michelle Obama has given few details about her time as first lady. Titles and release dates were not immediately available. The books will reflect on the Obamas’ White House years, although Penguin Random House declined to give further details. A publishing official with knowledge of the negotiations said that Barack Obama’s book will be a straightforward memoir about his presidency, while Michelle Obama plans to write an inspirational work for young people drawing on her life story.

Dean Fosdick / Associated Press

Elephants, lions, antelope and leopards are photographed in Botswana’s Okavango Delta region. Specialized photo safaris provide wildlife and cultural access you’re not likely to get on your own.

What to look for when you’re booking a photo safari B y DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press

Shopping for a wildlife safari is like taking a multiple-choice exam. You know the right answer is there on the page somewhere but they all seem so appealing.

Most safari operators guarantee face time with animals and birdlife but those assurances come with varying degrees of viewer comfort, species diversity and proximity.

Options range from the traditional group tours - people of all ages and interests sharing vehicles, lodging and meals - to customized luxury trips built around singles, couples, family groups or other self-selected combinations pursuing their own interests.

But when you add it all up, the best safaris for the money generally are those tailored primarily for photographers. Photo tours may be priced slightly higher than the traditional treks but then they provide more value.

Some aspects to consider: n Fewer travelers per group means you can go more places. When participation is limited to as few as a half-dozen people,

everyone has a window seat and an opportunity to find the right camera angle. More hands-on instruction is available from the expedition leaders, many of whom are professional photographers. n Photo tours move at a slower pace. Every person has a chance to get that cover photo for his or her album. n Operators of photo tours use different modes of transportation ranging from safari vehicles and dugout canoes to helicopters and small planes. That provides dramatic wildlife viewing no matter what the terrain. n Many photo tour outfitters provide camps in leased areas known for their unique wildlife abundance rather than simply supplying hotel rooms near nature preserves. Game drives originating from these private leaseholds mean less viewing congestion from other safari vehicles when animals are spotted. n Photo tours don’t operate on an 8 a.m.-to-5 p.m. schedule. They depart when lighting is at its best, the so-called “golden hours” of early morning and late afternoon. That also happens to be when

temperatures are more comfortable - a major consideration if traveling in Africa, India or the Galapagos Islands.

Another difference between traditional safaris and photo tours is group composition, said Court Whelan, director of Conservation Travel Programs for Natural Habitat Adventures, an ecotourism company in Boulder, Colorado.

“On a normal trip, it’s not as easy to initiate conversations about technical details but most people on photo trips are interested in elevating their photography,” he said. “They have different styles. Different eyes. It makes for good sharing.”

More people are choosing photo trips these days because equipment quality has improved and they can gather their own images rather than buy them, Whelan said.

“On a photo tour, if somebody wants that perfect lighting on a landscape, they’ll get it,” he said. “They’re not only chasing things down but they’re also waiting for things to come to them.”

Working with smaller groups is more rewarding for everyone because they can sit down together and

analyze their work, said Ona Basimane, a photojournalist who also serves as a Natural Habitat expedition leader in his native Botswana.

“In a photo trip, interpretation is more toward helping people anticipate the animal’s next move so they can always be ready to take a picture,” Basimane said. “So one gets the benefit of learning about behavior but also getting to take good images.”

The National Geographic Society, which has shaped its reputation in large part around worldclass photography, also offers world-class photo tours.

“The signature of National Geographic photo tours is that we’re more exploratory in nature, we emphasize cultural groups and we’re led by staff photographers,” said Molly Danner, a program director for the company’s Expeditions group.

“We provide organized photo shoots and the

kinds of access that people might not be able to get on their own,” Danner said. “Berbers in Morocco.

Masai villages in Africa.

Traditional festivals and camel fairs in India. Our trips are designed to maximize photo opportunities for people along the way.”

Photo tours usually aren’t a good fit for young children but they do accommodate people from all skill levels, Danner said. “We try to cater to people who have different kinds of goals and who want special access to traveling with National Geographic photogra-

phers.”

Having a professional photographer along can yield great results from the unexpected.

A colleague of Danner’s, for example, recently returned from a photo trek raving about how she had been able to get a great shot because the National Geographic photographer “stopped the bus for a scene he wanted to capture,” Danner said.

“He was able to offer a spontaneous opportunity along with some insights.

It became her favorite moment and the favorite picture from the trip.”

Lawyers sue Chinese authorities for smog B y LOUISE WATT Associated Press

BEIJING — Lawyer Cheng Hai has an itemized list of compensation demands from Beijing authorities over the city’s smog: 65 yuan ($9) for having to buy face masks, 100 yuan ($15) for seeing a doctor for a sore throat and 9,999 yuan ($1,500) for emotional distress.

Fed up with what they consider halfhearted efforts to fight air pollution, Cheng and likeminded lawyers are putting China’s legal system to the test by suing the governments of the capital and its surrounding regions.

“Some people might think that air pollution is inevitable with economic development, but they are wrong,” said Cheng, 64. “We have laws to protect air quality, and major pollution can be avoided if they are fully enforced.”

The lawsuits demonstrate the mounting frustration of China’s middle class at the country’s notoriously bad air, a topic that is expected to be discussed at the upcoming annual meeting of the country’s parliament three years after Premier Li Keqiang declared a “war on pollution” at the same event.

The dissatisfaction comes even as authorities in the capital are closing factories, getting rid of coal-fired boilers and taking older, heavier-polluting vehicles off the road.

Official data show those measures are having some effect, with Beijing showing year-onyear improvements since 2013.

Yet the city’s average reading of the tiny particulate matter PM2.5 — considered a good gauge of air pollution — is still seven times what the World Health Organization considers safe.

“We are the victims of smog and we are entitled to ask for an apology and compensation from the government,” said another of the lawyers, Yu Wensheng, 50, from Beijing.

The suits, which accuse authorities of failing to deal effectively with the smog, are important to show that the gov-

ernment is not above the law, said Yu. “If the government is not restricted by law, then what else can restrict it?” said Yu, who has spent time in detention accused of supporting Hong Kong pro-democracy protests in 2014 and for speaking up in support of detained rights lawyers.

Along with Beijing, the group has attempted to sue the neighboring province of Hebei and the port city of Tianjin. The region generally suffers the worst pollution in China and forms a front line in the central government’s battle against the scourge.

The lawyers say their cases are more about drawing attention to government inaction rather than winning a settlement.

China is grappling with serious pollution resulting from three decades of breakneck growth that vastly improved living standards for many, but took a disastrous toll on the environment.

As people became more aware of the health issues associated with smog, the declaration of a “war on pollution” at the National People’s Congress in 2014 resulted in measures to reduce pollutants in the air, including capping coal consumption. However, a particularly heavy bout of smog at the beginning of this year still triggered pollution “red alerts” in more than 20 cities.

Beijing plans to spend $2.7 billion on fighting air pollution this year, part of which would be used to close or upgrade more than 3,000 polluting factories, replace the use of coal with clean energy on the outskirts of the city and phase out 300,000 high-polluting older vehicles, according to the city’s acting mayor, Cai Qi. Despite efforts to enlist the public in the anti-pollution struggle, China’s authoritarian Communist government heavily discourages protests and other forms of independent action, and at least one of the initial five lawyers in the case appears to have withdrawn his lawsuit under pressure from local authorities.

Andy Wong / Associated Press

Commuters, some wearing masks, walk to a subway station during the evening rush hour in Beijing on Feb. 21. The city’s average reading of the tiny particulate matter PM2.5 — considered a good gauge of air pollution — is seven times what the World Health Organization considers safe. A group of Chinese lawyers is suing the governments of Beijing and its surrounding areas for not doing enough to get rid of the smog.

The Beijing press office said the government hadn’t received any notices about the lawsuits and was unable to comment.

The governments of Hebei and Tianjin didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection has been sending out inspection teams to check on how well local governments are implementing smog control measures. On Monday, it announced that the lists of companies that have to halt production during periods of heavy pollution drawn up by three lower-level governments under Beijing and Hebei included companies that were already no longer operating.

A Beijing court has already twice rejected attempts by the lawyers to file cases, while a court in Hebei province’s capital, Shijiazhuang, has yet to respond to a case filed more than two

months ago. Similar attempts to file suits in previous years have also been derailed, and while a change in the law has allowed some environmental NGOs to bring cases against polluters since 2015, they are discouraged to do so by the high costs of investigating and proving environmental damage, and potential threats and harassment from those they’re suing.

Wang Canfa, the director of a center that helps people bring lawsuits relating to pollution, said it would be difficult for the plaintiffs to establish a link between the governments’ actions and the harm they have suffered.

“In this circumstance, the governments are not the ones that inflict harm, rather it is the companies that discharge emissions, and individuals who drive cars, who are the polluters,” said Wang, who teaches at the China

University of Political Science and Law. Still, the lawyers appear to feel it’s worth the risks and frustrations to make their point.

Another of them, Lu Tingge, who filed the Hebei case, said his mother suffers respiratory illnesses and the pollution makes it difficult for her to breathe.

He’s asking for 10 yuan ($1.50) in compensation for masks, 5,000 yuan ($730) for “spiritual damage” and an official apology for the harm to his life and work.

“I know my chances of winning are small,” said Lu, 47.

“But I just want to make people understand that the government bears the main responsibility for dealing with smog and air pollution.”

ASTRO-GRAPH

By Bernice Bede Osol

Sunday, March 5, 2017

fying rewards. Personal and physical improvements will turn out well.

Don’t rely on others to give you good advice. Stay focused on what you want to do to improve your life. Appearances will count and are best presented with honesty and integrity. You’ll face problems if you don’t abide by the rules. Be direct and avoid delays.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Stick close to home and work on becoming a better person. Don’t feel that you have to please everyone else when you’re the one who needs to be satisfied with your actions.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- False information will lead you in the wrong direction. If you cannot verify certain claims, take a pass. Put more emphasis on personal growth and physical improvements.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Share details of the past and build memories with someone you think is special. Acknowledging the little things someone does for you will bring you closer together. Personal growth will be empowering.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Get together with old friends. Catching up on the latest news will lead to a new beginning with someone you lost touch with. Plan a reunion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The past will have a way of surfacing when you least expect it. Consider what’s occurred before you decide to get involved in something that could cause emotional turmoil.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Emotional manipulation will be costly. Don’t ruin your reputation or give out information that might be used against you. Stay focused on using physical means to bring about personal gains.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Look at a situation from every angle.

Unless you have a clear picture, you are best off biding your time and waiting for your doubts to be eliminated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Love conquers all. Whether it’s a friend, relative or new acquaintance, taking time to help someone will result in grati-

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An investment will limit your cash flow.

Don’t take on more than you can handle. Do your best to create an honest, open and loving relationship with someone you trust.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Emotional manipulation will surface if you discuss problems with a friend or relative. Don’t feel compelled to accept someone’s terms if you don’t agree with them. Follow your heart and make changes that suit you.

SUNDAY

HOW TO PLAY: Sudoku Triples is a puzzle consisting of three regular Sudoku grids, sharing one set of 3-by-3 boxes. Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9. The numbers in the set of 3-by-3 boxes, which are shared by all three of the Triples, are filled in identically for all three of the individual Sudokus.

Therefore, finding a number in the shared set of 3-by3 numbers from one of the Triples advances the other Sudokus as well.

Today’s Puzzle Solution

SOLUTION

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -Someone will use emotional manipulation to tempt you. Don’t waste time or money on anyone unwilling to meet you halfway. Plans are best shelved until you have the resources to follow through with them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t trust anyone offering you something for nothing. Put greater emphasis on personal change that will give you a trendy new look. Keep up with the times in order to make an impression.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You’ll learn more if you step back and watch what others do. Engage in collaborative discussions to get a better sense of what’s expected of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’ll be disappointed if you rely on someone to help you. Set your goals and work diligently on your own if you want to receive the recognition you deserve.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Express your feelings and use your imagination to come up with new ideas and fun things to do. Partnerships will depend on both your generosity and your moderation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Look inward and size up your personal and professional situations. Consider your options and prepare to make a move that will add to your financial security as well as ease your stress.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Russia: Sarah Jessica Parker can meet envoy MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s foreign ministry says it would be happy to play matchmaker between American actress Sarah Jessica Parker and Moscow’s ambassador to Parker the United States.

Parker on Thursday made a post on Instagram showing her typing at a computer, captioned: “I couldn’t help but wonder ... had the Russian ambassador been meeting with everyone but me?”

Questions have arisen in Congress and the media about Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak’s meetings with members of the Trump administration.

On Friday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mara

Zakharova said on the ministry’s English-language account: “If #SarahJessicaParker desperately wants to meet Russian Ambassador to US -anything is possible. Sergey Ivanovich will be happy.”

after three women came forward and reported they were sexually assaulted by Masterson in the early 2000s, Officer Drake Madison, a Los Angeles police spokesman, said Friday. He declined to provide any further details, citing the ongoing investigation.

The 40-year-old actor is best known for his role as Steven Hyde on “That ’70s Show,” which aired from 1998 until 2006. He’s currently starring in a Netflix series called “The Ranch.”

A representative for Masterson, who has not charged with a crime, denied the allegations in a statement Friday. The representative said one of the accusers was Masterson’s longtime girlfriend, who continued to date him after the alleged incident.

“The alleged incident occurred in the middle of their six-year relationship, after which she continued to be his longtime girlfriend,” the statement said.

Danny Masterson faces sex assault allegations LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police are investigating after three women reported being sexually assaulted by actor Danny Masterson in the early 2000s, but the actor denies the allegations, which he Masterson says are motivated by the producer of an anti-Scientology television series.

In 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people.

In 1867, the Fenian Rebellion took place in Ireland as thousands of members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood launched an attempt at overthrowing British rule; the poorly-organized rising was swiftly put down by British and Irish authorities.

In 1868, the U.S. Senate was organized into a Court of Impeachment to decide charges against President Andrew Johnson, who was later acquitted.

In 1927, “The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place,” the last Sherlock Holmes story

by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was published in the U.S. in Liberty Magazine.

In 1933, in German parliamentary elections, the Nazi Party won 44 percent of the vote; the Nazis joined with a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender majority in the Reichstag.

In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his “Iron Curtain” speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, in which he said: “From Stettin in the Baltic, to Trieste in the Adriatic, an ‘iron curtain’ has descended across the continent, allowing police governments to rule Eastern Europe.”

In 1963, country music performers Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins died in the crash of their plane, a Piper Comanche, near Camden, Tennessee, along with pilot Randy Hughes (Cline’s manager).

Another award for Viola Davis: Harvard ‘Artist of the Year’ CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Fresh from her best supporting actress Oscar win for her role in “Fences,” Viola Davis is at Harvard University to receive the 2017 Artist of the Year Award from the Harvard Foundation.

Davis is attending the Cultural Rhythms Festival on Saturday. She briefly came on stage before taking a seat to watch a series of cultural musical performances by students.

In addition to the Oscar, Davis received the Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, and British Academy of Films and Television Arts awards for her portrayal of Rose Maxson in the film adaptation of “Fences,” an August Wilson play.

Davis also won a Tony Award for the 2010 Broadway revival of the play.

Previous winners of the Harvard award include Quincy Jones, Andy Garcia, Matt Damon, Salma Hayek and Shakira.

Idaho AG discusses Dietrich locker room case could say we have proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the purpose of this anal entry was sexual arousal, gratification or abuse. In this instance, we would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that that purpose was sexual. In this instance, we didn’t have that evidence.

n Wasden said he ‘didn’t have enough evidence’ to charge sex crime B Y JOHN SOWELL Idaho Statesman

There was no evidence the October 2015 attack on a black, disabled Dietrich High School football player was motivated by sexual arousal, gratification or abuse — making it impossible under Idaho law to charge it as a sex crime, Idaho’s attorney general said Wednesday.

Lawrence Wasden defended his office’s prosecution of John R.K. Howard for the incident where a clothes hanger was kicked into the black teen’s buttocks in a school locker room.

Howard, 19, was originally charged with forcible sexual penetration with a foreign object, a felony. In December, he entered an Alford plea to felony injury to a child, maintaining his innocence but acknowledging prosecutors could have won a conviction. The ultimate fates of two others charged as juveniles are unknown, as their cases are sealed.

“It is not, in my view, a sex crime,” Deputy Attorney General Casey Hemmer said at Howard’s change-of-plea hearing, a statement that led to national criticism.

What was it then?

Extreme bullying and hazing, Wasden and Hemmer said Wednesday.

“And it was targeted at anyone that these persons believed or perceived as being weaker or younger,” Wasden said.

A freshman player who was nearby when the victim was targeted told Howard and the others to stop. “‘It’s not any of your business or we’ll do the same to you,’” Wasden said the bullies told the other player. “They were victimizing a whole variety of people.”

Last week, Howard was sentenced to 300 hours of community service and three years of probation, renewing the public outcry — including attention to a petition calling for 5th District Judge Randy Stoker’s removal.

Wasden, Hemmer and several other officials sat down Wednesday afternoon with the Idaho Statesman to talk about the case.

Q: What were your goals in prosecuting this case?

Wasden: This was a tough case to handle, because we have two primary goals. No. 1 was to protect this very vulnerable young man. What happened to him was tragic and terrible. We have an obligation to protect him. The other thing that we have an obligation to do, and a commensurate responsibility, is to hold the perpetrators responsible.

And that’s precisely what we did here.

Q: A lot of people say you didn’t protect the victim, you didn’t go far enough.

Wasden: We have to take into account, what did we do to protect this victim? We have to recognize that he did not want to testify. His parents did not want him to testify. In fact, it was not in his best interest to put him on the stand. And so, as a consequence, we chose not to do that. We couldn’t try this case without putting him on the stand. And it was not good for him to do that. And so the consequence of that is, what else do you do? The answer is we were able to

Q: What are your feelings about what happened?

Wasden: We don’t think this was good behavior in any way, shape or form. But the question isn’t whether we think that or not. The question is, based on this evidence, can we prove beyond a reasonable doubt elements of that crime?

That’s what we had to do.

Darin Oswald / doswald@idahostatesman.com

Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, during a Wednesday interview, explains how his office approached prosecuting an October 2015 attack involving a Dietrich High School football player and some of his teammates. get a felony conviction … for the defendant and still preserve the victim in fulfilling his wish not to testify.

Q: What would have happened if you had gone to trial?

Wasden: The case would have been tried as a felony injury to child case because that’s where the facts fit. … Secondly, there would have been the potential of a conviction on that case or a lesser crime of battery, or it could be that there would not be a conviction at all.

So those are the risks you have associated with that case. You have to take into account, not only the provable facts you have, but the quality of evidence that you have, how well the witness is going to perform on the stand and, in this instance, there were countervailing recorded statements that you have that all goes into how effective we are going to be in proving our case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Q: It would seem like the victim’s shifting stories would have made it difficult.

Wasden: It certainly added to our prosecutorial challenges. We felt committed to putting an end to this abuse of this young man. But there were statements we were going to have to face at trial and it does add to the challenges of prosecuting the case.

Q: The Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence said you were “complicit in state-sanctioned sexism, racism, able-ism and violence.” How do you respond to that?

Wasden: We took a case as a special prosecution case (at the request of Lincoln County) that involved a very vulnerable young man and we had an obligation to protect him.

We did that. We had an obligation to impose criminal sanctions against the perpetrators of that crime and we did that. So I felt like we did exactly what we were supposed to do.

Q: There’s been a lot of talk about whether names the victim was called — watermelon, fried chicken, grape soda — whether those were racist hate words directed toward him.

Wasden: The statute that is in play is the malicious harassment statute.

And what it says is that it shall be unlawful for any person maliciously, and with the specific intent, to

intimidate or harass another person because of that person’s race, color, religion, ancestry or national origin.

What we have to do is to step into the mind of the perpetrator, the defendant here. And we have to show beyond a reasonable doubt that he had the specific intent to harass this victim, this vulnerable victim. And that … the specific intent for that was because of that person’s race or color or religion or so forth. That was the evidence that was missing. It isn’t what other persons may have said, it’s what this individual did. And what was in this individual’s mind. … The incidents concerning grape soda, watermelon, those kinds of things occurred but not in the location or in the time frame of these acts. We didn’t have the evidence to show beyond a reasonable doubt … that the specific intent to intimidate or harass was because of his race, color or so forth.

Q: What happened in the locker room?

Tony Pittz, Attorney General’s Office investigator: Before practice, a member of the football team either put his arm around our victim or gave him a hug. Another player gave him a wedgie, enough to tear his underwear. They chased one another around the locker room and went to practice. After practice, the victim’s underwear was torn enough that they’re hanging below his buttocks, exposing his buttocks. A member of the football team took a coat hanger and either once or twice, depending upon the witnesses, slips the shoulder end of the hanger in between his buttocks.

At some point this hanger is stuck between the buttocks of the victim and the defendant John Howard kicks at the victim, either at the victim or at the hanger.

He kicked at the victim, making contact with the hanger, either on purpose or on accident and forces the hanger further into the victim. The victim yells out as if he’s in pain, someone removes the hanger from him and throws it across the room. The coaches come into the room at that time and everyone shuts up.

Q: What did you consider in charging Mr. Howard?

Wasden: We applied those facts against the provision for forcible sexual penetration by the use of

a foreign object. It says for every person who for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification or abuse causes the penetration, however slight, of the genital or anal opening of another person by any object, instrument or device against his will. The question is whether, based upon that evidence, that

we can establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the purpose for this anal penetration was sexual arousal, gratification or abuse. On the basis of that evidence, there isn’t evidence there was some sexual reference or sexual activity. There was nothing that raised that level of activity to something we

Q: What happened between the filing of the original felony and the final charge?

Hemmer: Over time cases evolve. They don’t always start charged one way and finish charged the same way. That’s through witnesses, how they develop over time, additional information that comes out, the best interests of the victim.

All of those things are taken into account. As the case progressed, it became clear that we couldn’t prove the sexual intent element. It was important to the family and to the state that a felony conviction was obtained, but what statute does this conduct fit? And in this case it was felony injury to children.

LANDS

From Page A1 power.”

The rally’s aim was to unify and organize disparate groups who favor the preservation of federal lands but have been divided by arguments about how such lands ought to be managed. The group who organized it is called Idahoans for Public Lands.

“As a group of public land users in this audience, we have a diverse background, a background in all different sorts of public land use,” said Jimmy Hallyburton, a mountain biker who emceed the event.

“I think today is a credible example of what can happen and what power we can create when Idahoans come together.”

“Hell, yeah,” the crowd chanted in reply.

Martin Hackworth is executive director of sharetrails.org, formerly known as the Blue Ribbon Coalition, a group that lobbies for greater motorized access on federal lands.

Many of the people he

Saturday’s public lands rally at the Capitol was sponsored by Idahoans for Public Lands, and featured speakers who spanned the political spectrum.

Katherine Jones / Idaho Statesman

More than 2,000 gathered at the Capitol for a public lands rally on Saturday. has fought with about that issue — groups that favor restricting motorized use — stood next to him Saturday.

“We all have a say-so regarding public land,” he said. “… One of the things that happens in a democracy is you don’t get 100 percent of everything you want. You sit down and hammer out a deal.

I’m here to support these people because, on this issue, we all see things the same way.”

Hackworth’s position hasn’t changed, and neither have his opponents’. But with a growing sense that public lands are in danger, he said what was most important was for all of them to have a seat at the table.

“Public land is our birthright,” he said in an interview. “All of us are stakeholders in public land, and that’s a great part of this country. It’s unique. If you go to Europe, they don’t have public lands like there is in the United States.

They hold their (dirt bike) races in rock quarries.”

And Hackworth said transferring public lands

to states is “the first step toward our not owning these resources as a society.”

“The reason for that is I lose my seat as a stakeholder,” he said. “The federal government has recreation as a mandate.

It’s part of what you have to do with public land. States have no such mandate.”

And Hackworth said if federal lands are transferred to states, it’s only a matter of time before state officials have to sell them off to the highest bidder.

“Every state has a mandated balanced budget,” he said. “So you’re a single forest fire, a single wellfunded lawsuit away from having to make a choice about whether you’re going to close a school or sell off some public land.”

Policymakers will face that choice all the time, he said.

“It will be so tempting,” agreed Margaret Fuller.

Fuller is the author of several trail guides and books about Idaho outdoor recreation, including the first comprehensive guide to hiking trails in the Sawtooth and White Clouds ranges. She started hiking and backpacking in the central Idaho mountains in

WASTE

From Page A1 with the DOE waste retrieval has built “confidence and trust” with state officials, which could “pave the way for future (AMWTP) activities, whatever they may be.”

Susan Burke, INL oversight coordinator for the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, said her agency has not received a formal proposal from DOE about the facility’s future use. But it would be something state regulators would consider, she said, as long as the proposal met regulations laid out in the 1995 Settlement Agreement.

“It’s something we’ve done in the past, and it’s something we’d be amenable to doing again,” Burke said.

The idea of shipping transuranic waste from outside Idaho to the AMWTP for treatment isn’t new. It has already been done with about 700 cubic meters of waste over the years. The 1995 Settlement Agreement allows for bringing in a transuranic waste shipment for treatment, as long as it leaves the state within one year.

A 1999 DOE environmental impact statement on the proposed construction of the AMWTP anticipated the possibility that “additional quantities of waste” might come to the facility from 14 other DOE sites around the country. A 2008 DOE analysis recommended sending transuranic waste to AMWTP from sites that “do not have the capability to process this waste.” It also identified waste from 14 sites that could be sent to AMWTP for treatment.

1957. Her life has centered around public lands, she said, and she isn’t ready to give up on them now.

Luke Nelson travelled from Pocatello to speak at the event.

A professional trail runner, he’s used to traveling long distances. Very long distances. He came in third in his first marathon, which he ran because he lost a bet, with no prior training. His personal record is a 155-mile run.

“Public lands are where I do my work. It’s where I practice my craft,” he said in an interview.

Nelson said he would rather be spending his Saturday as he spends most of his days, running through trails in public lands throughout the state. But Nelson has children, and he said he came to speak at the rally because he wants his children to have the same opportunities that he did.

“That’s what makes America what it is: All of us own this land, and it needs to stay that way,” he said. “(If federal lands are transferred) the interest of the public will not be put first.

The interests of extraction will be put first.”

waste should be shipped to AMWTP “because setting up duplicative characterization or other necessary facilities at other sites would not be practical or cost effective.” AMWTP cost about $560 million to construct.

The facility has capabilities not found elsewhere. It has a remote-controlled supercompactor that smashes 55-gallon steel drums full of waste into three-inch tall “pucks.”

Other equipment safely sorts and repackages the waste without putting workers in danger.

Last year, AMWTP underwent an approximately $10 million overhaul.

Officials said much of the new equipment was needed to simply finish the job of treating the Idaho waste over the next two years.

But the upgrades were also made with an eye toward the future, and bringing in more waste in the coming years from outside the state.

Roughly 20,000 cubic meters of waste could potentially come from the Hanford Site in Washington, according to a 2015 DOE presentation, with roughly 8,000 cubic meters from the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, and 6,500 from Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

Other sites have much smaller quantities that could be shipped to the facility.

Herb Bohrer is chairman of the Idaho National Laboratory Citizen’s Advisory Board, and a former DOE director overseeing AMWTP. He said he and the board are “absolutely” supportive of continuing the facility’s mission by accepting outside waste.

“The facility has shown over time that it’s fully capable,” Bohrer said. “It would be a shame not to use it.”

Group effort saves Idaho Falls skier’s life POST REGISTER

A backcountry skier owes his life to resuscitation efforts from Grand Teton National Park rangers, Teton County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue members and the efforts of his ski party, according to a news release from Grand Teton National Park.

Emergency personnel received a call Friday afternoon about a backcountry skier having chest pains.

The skier, Mike Connolly, 61, of Idaho Falls, was skiing with three other family members and friends when the incident occurred. The reporting party, located on

the southwest ridge of Maverick Peak in the park, had a cell phone and was able to provide GPS coordinates.

A helicopter from Teton County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue — with three county search and rescue members — were sent to help a park ranger and a county member in the rescue.

Connolly had gone into cardiac arrest and CPR efforts were in progress by other members of the party when rescuers arrived. Rescue personnel used a defibrillator once and Connolly regained a pulse and began breathing.

A short time later he was able to verbally communi-

cate, according to the news release.

Connolly was transported to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls. His current condition is unknown.

“The persistent training and teamwork with the Teton County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue Team helped to obtain the outcome that we always strive to achieve during these incidents.

As a result of this well-orchestrated effort, our skier has a very hopeful second chance in life.” Grand Teton National Park Superintendent David Vela said in the news release.

Yellowstone roads begin closing for spring plowing POST REGISTER

The winter season in Yellowstone National Park is quickly winding down.

Oversnow travel will close on roads throughout the park beginning today, according to a park news release. All oversnow travel will end for the season on March 15. The release said spring plowing will begin soon after that, and all roads will likely open to

PROBE

From Page A1 edge an investigation when initially asked about the company in late November.

Yellowstone Partners CEO Eric Rubin, who was hired last month, said Thursday the firm was “fully cooperating with investigators,” and “our real focus is servicing our clients.” He said he didn’t think the company had “anything to hide.”

Established in 2005 by Idaho Falls resident Dave Hansen, Yellowstone Partners has “a clear objective of being among the premier wealth management firms in the nation,” according to its website.

It manages about 3,000 accounts, some worth millions of dollars. According to a firm brochure, clientele for its management and financial planning services is made up of “high net worth” and “ultra-high net worth individuals.”

The firm’s luxury stone and stucco headquarters is located off Sunnyside Road and Merlin Drive. It has seven satellite offices, including a Boise branch that opened in 2015, with roughly two dozen employees.

The Wednesday morning FBI raid — where agents spent several hours seizing computer files and other records — capped months of turmoil within the company, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation who spoke to the Post Register on the condition of anonymity, due to the ongoing investigation.

Yellowstone attorney Brett Tolman confirmed that the federal investigation, as well as an internal audit the firm is conducting, is looking for inappropriate fees taken from client accounts going back several years. He said a

The release said temporary travel restrictions or closures can occur at any time. For current information on road conditions and closures, visit go.nps.gov/ YellRoads, or call 307-3442117 for recorded information.

number of fees have been refunded to clients.

Tolman, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah, said the SEC and FBI probes were “parallel proceedings.” While the SEC is looking for compliance issues with the company itself, the FBI has a more narrow criminal investigation, he said.

“At this point, we’re just as interested as anybody else to make sure the appropriate fees were taken out,” Tolman said.

Former employees say significant irregularities — what appeared to many as over-billing — were found last spring by Yellowstone employees in a number of client accounts. The former employees say the events touched off an internal controversy over what had caused the irregularities, which appeared isolated to one group of accounts under one adviser.

Several Yellowstone employees left the firm by the early summer. Some said they felt uncomfortable with the situation. The SEC conducted an audit of the company around the same time.

In July, the firm hired Karen Steighner, a compliance consultant from Denver, who according to her website “provides executive-level direction and oversight of enterprise-wide audits, risk assessments, investigations and compliance reviews.” In August, Yellowstone filed with the SEC a flurry of 11 quarterly reports dating back to 2013 detailing its investment holdings, according to commission records.

In the weeks leading up to the November raid, the FBI began quietly interviewing former employees of the company; it is not known when the agency began its probe.

At least five more people, some who said they were caught off-guard by the seriousness of the developments, have departed the

company in recent months since around the time of the raid, according to the sources and employee listings posted on the Yellowstone website.

As of last month, a major leadership shakeup had occurred, according to employee listings on the website and an SEC form. Instead of his longtime role of president and CEO, Hansen was listed along with several others as a wealth management adviser. Hansen did not return a call or email this week seeking comment.

Other people have also moved out of Yellowstone’s top leadership posts, including Cameron High, the longtime chief compliance officer and a minority owner, who recently departed his job with the company and was no longer listed on the website.

Rubin is the new CEO, having been hired last month from the New York City firm RiskX Investments. In addition to their Yellowstone roles, Hansen and Yellowstone’s current Chief Investment Officer Rick Baird had worked together as portfolio managers at New York-based American Independence Financial Services, of which Rubin was president.

American Independence later became RiskX. Baird declined to comment about the investigation.

Rubin said he was brought in to “provide some new leadership, and take the firm to a new level.” He said he was already generally familiar with Yellowstone’s operations.

“The most important thing is, we’re going to keep cooperating with (the FBI and SEC),” Rubin said.

“Our clients are all getting serviced, nobody is out any money, there’s no problems with any investments or anything, and we’ll keep working through this with the regulators.”

Dee Dee Jonrowe, of Willow, mushes during the ceremonial start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Anchorage, Alaska, on Saturday.

Fan-friendly event kicks off Iditarod race across Alaska n The official start of race is Monday ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The sound of howling dogs filled downtown Anchorage on Saturday as mushers from around the world gathered for the ceremonial start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

About 2,000 dogs belonging to 72 mushers waited their turn — some more patiently and less vocally than others — to hit the trail this year. The race spans nearly 1,000 miles of Alaska wilderness, including the last stretch when the teams battle the frozen Bering Sea coast en route to the finish line in the community of Nome.

The ceremonial start is a fan-friendly event designed to show off mushing to fans in Alaska’s largest city.

Spectators pet the dogs, mingled with mushers and even grabbed an autograph or two.

Racers then left the downtown area every two minutes in a staggered start with an Iditarider — people who won auctions for a

prime spot in a competitor’s sled — for an 11-mile course on city trails and streets.

Carol Stedman, a retired postal worker from Alexandria, Virginia, was an Iditarider for the fifth time since 2011. That was the first time she came to Anchorage to watch the start of the race.

She said after that initial experience, she crossed the Iditarod off her bucket list and put it on her to-do list.

“You’re in the sled, you see everything going on, it’s like a big party all the way out of town,” she said Saturday morning while wearing a stocking cap fashioned like a Husky dog.

“Seeing the interaction between the mushers and the dogs is just spectacular,” she said. “Everybody should do it once.”

Amanda Gourley of Sacramento, California, had business in Alaska, and decided to stick around to see her first-ever Iditarod.

“I remember as a little girl watching the Iditarod on ‘Wide World of Sports,’ and it’s just one of those things I’ve always wanted to see,” she said. “I love dogs.”

City crews trucked in

snow overnight to make the streets ready for the dog sleds.

Anchorage had more than enough snow to stage the ceremonial start. But just a few hundred miles north, the Alaska Range — a mountain span that includes Denali — has little snow and open-water conditions.

That has prompted race officials to move the competition’s official start from the Anchorage area, over the mountain range to Fairbanks to avoid the dodgy spots. It’s the second time in the past three years, and third in the past 14, that the race has had to move to Fairbanks to find suitable winter conditions to start.

But there is good news for mushers and dogs making the journey to Nome.

“There’s lots of snow on the trail,” race marshal Mark Nordman said after surveying the route late last week. “Lots of deep snow. And when we’re on the (Yukon) river, it’s a freeway.”

The official start of the race is Monday.

KENT, Wash. (AP) — Police in a Seattle suburb were looking for a gunman who shot a man in the arm and told him to “go back to your own country,” the Seattle Times reported.

The victim — a 39-year-old man who observes the Sikh faith — told police that he was working in his driveway about 8 p.m. Friday when the unknown man came up to him, the Times reported.

Male observant Sikhs often cover their heads with turbans, which are considered sacred, and refrain from shaving their beards.

Asia’s Punjab region.

An argument ensued, and the suspect told him to go back to his homeland, the victim said. The victim told police the man then shot him in the arm, the newspaper reported.

The victim told police that the shooter is 6-foot-tall, white and has a stocky build.

The victim said the man was wearing a mask covering the lower half of his face.

Kent police told the newspaper that the agency has contacted the FBI and other law enforcement agencies about the incident.

“We’re early on in our investigation,” Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas said Saturday. “We are treating this as a very serious incident.”

Jasmit Singh, a leader of the Sikh community in the

nearby suburb of Renton, said he had been told the victim was released from the hospital, the Times reported.

“He is just very shaken up, both him and his family,” Singh told the newspaper. “We’re all kind of at a loss in terms of what’s going on right now, this is just bringing it home. The climate of hate that has been created doesn’t distinguish between anyone.”

Sikhs have previously been the target of attacks in the United States. After the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the backlash that hit Muslims across the country expanded to include Sikhs and their faith as well, with some assuming the sight of a long beard and turbaned head can only mean one thing.

Bus driver shortage may affect sports From the Challis Messenger: Older school bus drivers are getting tired and close to retirement, but younger men and women aren’t applying for vacancies that Challis Joint School District No. 181 Transportation Director Blain Aldous is struggling to fill.

Existing drivers are barely keeping up with routes and sports schedules, Aldous told school board trustees at their Feb. 8 meeting. The ongoing driver shortage is nearing a critical point for extracurricular activities and might lead to cancellations of games down the road, he said. He proposed increasing current salaries, paying for commercial driver training, offering retention bonuses and benefits for all activity and school bus route drivers plus annual step increases to solve the shortage.

N. Custer volunteers win at fire academy From the Challis Messenger: It was a win-win for North Custer volunteer firefighters at the annual Southern Idaho Fire Academy in Burley, where eight volunteers learned new skills and two won a race of skill and fitness that pitted pairs from fire departments in this part of the state against the clock and each other.

Chris Herr and Brandon Jones teamed up to take first place in the Firefighter Mystery Challenge. The young men beat the clock and 15 other teams with a winning time of 1:36, besting the second place team by 12 seconds.

This is the first time North Custer has won the event, Chief Launna Gunderson said.

By utilizing a State of Idaho contract with Goode Ford in Burley, the county will save approximately $7,000 per vehicle, and said that he has budgeted money for the vehicles and cash on hand.

Water on roads causes closures

From the Shelley Pioneer: The Basalt City Council heard encouraging news from its engineer Paul Scoresby, of Scheiss and Associates, that its application for a $350,000 grant is going forward.

Mayor Larry Wagoner also reported in an interview with the Shelley Pioneer that city Clerk Deborah Anderson, who has worked for Basalt for 31 years was retiring.

From the Jefferson Star: Last week, Jefferson County closed six roads west of Interstate 15 due to water flowing over them. This week, Jefferson County Road and Bridge crews are working to reopen them.

According to a Jefferson County press release, as of Feb. 21 the roads closed were: 600 North from 2450 East to 2300 East; 400 North from 2400 East to 1800 East; 2300 East from County Line to 400 North; 2100 East from County Line to 400 North; 2600 East from 200 North to 400 North; and 1800 East from 400 North to 1200 North.

As of Feb. 27, 2800 East and 2300 East, from County Line to 400 North, had reopened. Crews were working to get 2400 East near 150 North, and 400 North from 2300 to 2400 reopened to at least one lane.

Elswood presented her kindergarten to second grade test results to the public in the Shelley Joint School District #60 Board of Trustees on Feb. 16.

Kindergartners — as well as first, second and third graders — take the IRI test three times a year. Students are tested at the beginning of the school year, again in late spring and then a final test at the end of the school year.

OURVIEW

Level heads prevail … for the most part

I

f you’ve ever wondered what elected representatives and senators can do for their districts during the off-season months, take a look at a couple of examples of good legislative work that came up this week.

First, Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, heard from property owners in her district that gas and oil industry operators had been taking advantage of them. The 46-page bill she introduced in response this week was the result of months of work with Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter, Department of Lands Director Tom Schultz, other legislators and, of course, her constituents. If it becomes law, oil and gas operators must gain approval from more royalty property owners in a “spacing unit” and open up more of the citing process to the public.

Next, Rep. Wendy Horman, R-Idaho Falls, prevailed in her proposal to give districts the freedom to use leftover funding after health care expenses at their own discretion. A competing bill would have kept health care expenses as a separate line item. Horman told Clark Corbin of Idaho Education News that “Given there was such a strong opposition to new line items and, in fact, a call to consolidate line items, we decided to find a hybrid way to both identify costs for this year and identify projections as we move forward.” Horman’s thorough understanding of the myriad ways school districts could use un-earmarked funding and of the state’s complicated and overworked system of budgeting — and her goals for fixing it — have paid off again.

Finally, civil asset forfeiture.

This one was a rare animal, indeed. Written by Idaho Freedom Foundation-approved conservative Rep. Steven Harris, R-Meridian and Demo-

Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter delivers his State of the State address Jan. 11 inside the House chambers at the state Capitol building in Boise. cratic Rep. Ilana Rubel, Boise, this civil asset forfeiture bill is a much-needed bipartisan “Kumbaya” moment for our state. The bill, which passed the House this week, limits the practice of police confiscating property they suspect may be linked to drug crimes and keeping it without any clear due process for the owner to get it back if they’re not charged.

Given that excellent example, it feels like kind of a free fall when you look at the real stinkers from the week.

Rep. Heather Scott,

R-Blanchard and Rep. Christy Zito, R-Hammett, attempted to kill a bill that would update Idaho’s notary law, last updated in the 1980s — before electronic signatures and e-documents were invented. Scott and Zito took issue with the idea that the 1980s version of the notary law would be replaced with “Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts,” from the Uniform Law Commission.

Scott thought the Commission, which proposes model legislation that puts Idaho in compliance with other states, was too new-fangled. According

to a report by Betsy Z. Russell in the Spokesman-Review, Scott said she thought Idaho had been adopting uniform law for only a couple of years.

Sen. Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, a member of the Uniform Law Commission since around 2001, was quick to point out the Commission had been in place since the late 19th century.

Not one to back down, Scott moved to hold the bill in committee since laws like the notary update were “globalized planning for Idaho law.”

She lost because her argument

made little sense. Legislators should never become speed bumps when they’re arguing on behalf of their constituencies, but doesn’t Scott ever tire of being wrong, then looking foolish for refusing to quit when it becomes apparent she has no idea what she’s talking about?

But the worst and wackiest of the week goes to Vito Barbieri, R-Dalton Gardens, who introduced a bill to exempt communications, including emails, between Idaho legislators from public disclosure.

Why? So they can more “freely” discuss legislation.

That’s right. The legislation they’re writing because they are elected to represent the public is apparently too full of secrets for public view.

Makes no sense to us either.

House speaker Scott Bedke, in a press conference this week, told reporters, “Don’t panic.”

He felt the bill was “borne out of frustration” from those lawmakers who can’t afford to pay staff and must process public records requests themselves.

But the part that makes us a little panicky, frankly, is that the bill passed out of the House State Affairs committee without a hearing, without debate and without discussion.

What could a bill like this do in a state where it turns out businessmen casually suggest in emails to their political allies that Fish & Game commissioners shouldn’t be reappointed because they refuse to consider something the public doesn’t want, but the businessman does? It’s not like that’s ever happened.

These depths of darkness are where democracy goes to die.

During deliberations, Harris and Rubel confronted critics who claimed that voting for the bill would be viewed as being “soft on crime.” They countered others who complained that it would tie the hands of law enforcement. Neither concern is true.

Consider, for example, what happened not long ago to Dan, who owns a lovely, private spread in Oneida County.

After law enforcement received a tip that Dan had a meth lab on his property, they performed a raid.

They cuffed Dan and placed him in the back of a squad car. Police proceeded to raid his house and his outbuildings.

They combed through his possessions, emptying drawers, rifling through closets.

Behind his house, they found an abandoned laetrile lab, housed in a semi trailer, which decades ago was used to experiment with finding natural cures for cancer.

It wasn’t a meth lab, but law enforcement declared it such and seized the property therein and the trailer. In Dan’s house, they found a small amount of marijuana for personal use. How did police respond? Officers seized anything of value from Dan’s home. Gold. Silver.

Guns. Money.

Ultimately, police did not pursue charges against Dan. But law enforcement kept his property. His lawyers worked to get the property back, with little luck. Dan was told his property

DEFINITIONS

would remain with law enforcement with little hope of it being repatriated. After many months, authorities in southeastern Idaho offered Dan a deal: He’d get about 97 percent of what was his. Law enforcement agencies would keep the rest. That 97 percent deal did not include Dan’s semi trailer, which was destroyed for reasons no one has explained. Dan was left with an option: continue to fight for what was his, with legal costs likely to eclipse the cost of his property, or give up and take what was offered. He chose the latter.

An Idaho State Police officer told lawmakers that civil asset forfeiture abuse doesn’t happen in Idaho. But Dan’s case illustrates that it does. How often? No one knows — because there is no requirement in state law for civil asset forfeitures to be tracked.

House Bill 202 offers several reforms to civil asset forfeiture to protect innocent people like Dan. For example, it declares that the confiscation of one’s assets should be proportionately connected with the crime and proportional to the crime alleged. In doing so, it could prevent the reoccurrence of cases like the one in Oneida County, where assets completely unconnected to Dan’s minor crime were seized simply because they were in Dan’s house where his marijuana was found.

HB 202 would also require that records be kept regarding civil asset forfeiture, to allow policymakers to better understand how the law is used and if additional reforms are merited.

The right to property is fundamental to our liberty. Property rights are the underpinning of a free society and, importantly, a civil society. House Bill 202 is an important step in the right direction, balancing law enforcement desires to go after the bad guys with the need to protect property rights and due process of the innocent.

Hoffman is executive director of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, a conservative policy research and advocacy organization.

SRAS fills important niche

I

love having two furry beings, Lucy and JoJo, who are always tail-wagging-excited to see me when I come home. Technically, I rescued them from an animal shelter, but in many ways they have rescued me by providing happy Vickie companionship. Also, Christensen their love of walks Guest columnist and a tennis ball chase game inspire me to exercise. I am always looking for community organizations to highlight, and the Snake River Animal Shelter (SRAS) is definitely a positive one.

The mission statement of SRAS is “to improve and save animal lives by promoting quality care and compassion through adoption and education in the upper Snake River Valley.” This shelter takes owner surrenders and transfer animals from other shelters, which helps reduce overcrowding at the city operated shelters throughout eastern Idaho. SRAS does not do euthanasia, but they do offer adoption services and a place for animals to socialize with each other as they wait for their new homes.

My son Tyson and I recently toured the shelter. It has a lobby area, two dog rooms, a puppy room, a cat room and a room for animals and humans to meet and greet each other. Employees chart on a white board when the dogs have eaten, pottied or had outdoor time. A neat feature of the shelter is the outdoor space where dogs can socialize and play.

The dogs were excited to see visitors and were vocalizing that they would love to be adopted into a forever home. In the puppy room, a terrier named Bobo was so charming, I was tempted to bring Lucy and JoJo home a new friend. Proceeding to the cat room, we discovered that at any given time a certain number of cages

are open for cats to roam in their room.

A happy cat was playing with a toy on a couch the day I visited.

In its first year of operation the shelter adopted out about 900 animals. All animals adopted at SRAS come spayed or neutered, with their immunizations, and microchipped. I am sure any of the animals I visited would be happy to join a family!

President Nancy Jones stated, “As President of the Snake River Animal Shelter Board of Directors, I feel confident in saying that the vision of the Board is to increase our budget to run 60 percent from operations, and 40 percent from donations, grants and community giving by increasing public awareness of the needs of SRAS. The Board also wishes to continue our status as a ‘no-kill’ shelter, one that does not kill healthy or treatable animals even when the shelter is full, reserving euthanasia for terminally ill animals, or for those considered dangerous to public safety.”

The Snake River Animal Shelter is located at 3000 Lindsay Boulevard.

Tax-deductible donations will help ensure its continuing success. Also, volunteers and supply donations are very welcome.

The Fur Ball, SRAS’s biggest fundraiser, is coming up March 11 at the Shilo Inn. Check out the website at snakeriveranimalshelter.org for more detailed information.

Our fur friends add much joy to our lives, but they are dependent on humans.

James Herriot, British writer and veterinarian, said, “ I wish people would realize that animals are totally dependent on us, helpless, like children, a trust that is put upon us.”

The Snake River Animal Shelter is an amazing place, which has accepted that trust and is deserving of community support.

LaMoyne Parker

On Feb. 24, 2017, Maralyn died of a broken heart. She was a very tender and fragile flower who needed much love and security to thrive. Her blooming period was sadly shortened.

Maralyn was born Sept. 12, 1940, in Rexburg, Idaho. She was preceded in death by her parents, Nielsen Archie and Flossie Jensen; her two brothers, Frenchy and Dennis Jensen; and her precious son, Jason.

Maralyn graduated from Madison High School and then went on to Ricks College, which is now Brigham Young University - Idaho. She earned an x-ray technology certificate and worked as the chief x-ray technician in the LDS Hospital in Idaho Falls.

Her brother, Frenchy, was a pharmacist at the hospital, and he hired Rick as a technician. This is where they met.

Rick was smitten with her beauty, her charm and that she was so engaging.

When he was working, Frenchy constantly had to shoo Maralyn away from the pharmacy so Rick could get his work done. She was crazy about Rick from the beginning, and he became, and remained, the love of her life.

They married June 10, 1967, and were off to medical school. Maralyn worked and supported them until Christian was born; after which, they “lived on borrowed money.” She loved being a full-time mom to Christian and Jason, and when grandchildren came along, they were the center of her attention.

LaMoyne Parker, 83, of Teton City passed away at his home Saturday, March 4, 2017, surrounded by his family.

LaMoyne was born April 7, 1933, to Louis and Geneva Parker in Teton City, Idaho. He Parker had two younger brothers Darrel (Patsy) Parker, of Idaho Falls, Blair (Marsha) Briggs, of Idaho Falls, and one sister Carolyn (Danny) Quayle of St. Anthony.

He attended School in Teton and St. Anthony, graduating from South Fremont High School. He married Karen Williams in December 1951. They lived their entire 65 years of marriage (Dad would always add “to the same women!”) in Teton.

He worked for local Farmers and the Union Pacific Railroad and served as Teton City Marshal.

He made his career as a Farmer and worked in potato warehouses in the winter to support his family. He enjoyed fishing hunting and snowmobiling and teaching his six kids how to work on the farm.

In the 1980’s LaMoyne and Karen enjoyed time traveling. Some of their destinations were Hawaii Alaska - Mexico - Australia - France - New Zealand - Puerto Rico - Brazil Germany -Switzerland Fiji - Jamaica - Africa (from top to bottom).

For the past 20 years Karen and LaMoyne have relished their daily outings — driving the country roads of Fremont and Madison County, taking in and appreciating our beautiful valley.

LaMoyne is survived by his wife Karen of Teton; and six children, Nola Jensen of Teton, Louis (Eileen) Parker of Teton, Debbie (Jose) DeLosReyes

Maralyn Jensen Nielsen

Maralyn loved people, could talk to anyone and loved to talk. She was forthright with her opinions and feelings and completely unfiltered. Things were either right or wrong, black or white with her. Maralyn was very passionate about her likes and dislikes. You rarely saw her without a Diet Coke. Rick will miss her gullibility and miss all the fun he had teasing her.

She would believe anything he told her.

After Jason died, 22 years ago, Maralyn fell into a sinkhole that she was never able to totally crawl out of. She lived through times of happiness, mixed with time of depression and despair. Rick’s career propelled him forward, but Maralyn became very fragile. The best medical care could not help her find a sustaining joy in her life.

Maralyn will be remembered for her unmatchable charm, her love and devotion to family and her loyalty to many, lifelong, dear friends. She took such pride in her son, Christian, her daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, her adorable grandchildren and especially, her beloved husband, Rick.

We will miss her beautiful smile and her presence in our lives.

Funeral services will be held at noon Saturday, March 4, at Federal Heights Ward, 1300 Fairfax Road, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Viewings will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. today at Larkin Mortuary, 260 E. South Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah, and one hour prior to services at the church. Interment will be at Salt Lake City Cemetery.

Rae Kern Rae Christina Madsen Kern passed away in Sandy, Utah on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017.

She was born in Salt Lake City on July 10, 1924, to Elmer Leroy and Sarah Ellsworth Kern Madsen.

She was the sixth of eight children.

Rae loved spending time with her own family and her four surviving sisters.

She was appreciative of our pioneer heritage. As a child, she was close to her grandmothers who spoke to her often of crossing the plains and sacrificing their all for the cause of Zion.

She always mentioned how very deeply converted to the Gospel they were.

Rae grew up learning the value of hard work on the family dairy farm in the Millcreek area of Salt Lake.

She was sealed to Reese Shipley Kern in the Salt

Lake Temple on March 19, 1945. They had seven children.

Throughout her life, Rae served in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in any calling that she received. She was gifted at working with teenagers, passionate about the Scouting program and was instrumental in implementing the Explorer program in the Teton Peaks Council. She served alongside her husband as a missionary in the Florida Tallahassee Mission and in the presidency of the Denver Colorado Temple. Rae had an enduring testimony of the Restored Gospel.

She was a talented gardener who believed that the inside of the house would take care of itself if the outside was beautiful. Rae was a perpetual student and voracious reader. She resumed her university studies at Idaho State University once her children were semi-independent and graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in 1979. She was a member of Colonial Dames and the Mayflower Society. Personal relationships were important to Rae and she cultivated enduring friendships.

Even during her decline, she was concerned about the welfare of others and developed a soft sweetness of spirit. In her semi-consciousness towards the end “Thank you — thank you” were her last words.

On Christmas Eve 1928 there came into the Madsen home a radio program announcing that a wellknown contralto was about to sing a lullaby to all children everywhere. She sang “All Through the Night” in English and German. Rae’s father picked her up and together with her Grandmother Madsen sang the words to the song in Danish — All through the night, sleep my child and peace attend thee … guardian angels God will send thee … All through the night.

Our mother was watched over to the last beat of her heart and passed as the sun crested the Wasatch.

Rae is survived by Richard and Jaci (Hilton), Ralph and Connie (Plant), Marilyn and Howard Arrington, Paul and Kathryn (Gates), Robert and Cindy (Smith), Jane McGee, Holly and Michael Thomas and 36 grandchildren and 45 great grandchildren and a sister Erma Madsen Nelson.

A memorial service will be held on March 11, at 11 a.m. in the Willowcreek Stake Center, 2350 E. Creek Road. Interment in the Preston, Idaho cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Perpetual Education Fund would be greatly appreciated.

Cold Bulldogs fall to Bears in 2A state title game n Ririe’s first trip to state since 2004 ended the same way Saturday B Y VICTOR FLORES vflores@postregister.com

NAMPA — Nothing felt awry after one quarter. Then the shots stopped falling.

The Ririe High School boys basketball team trailed Bear Lake 17-16 going into the second quarter of Saturday’s 2A state title game. The Bulldogs’ offense was flowing, their twin towers posed problems and their 2-3 zone was fine.

Ririe scored 23 points the rest of the way, and Bear Lake pulled away.

The Bears (23-4) earned a 56-39 win Saturday afternoon at

the Ford Idaho Center for their first state title since 1996, when they played in 3A. The 27-year championship drought for the Bulldogs (24-3) will last at least one more season.

“We have to convince ourselves that we had a great season,” Ririe coach Eric Torgerson said. “We made a run at it. We had a chance to be state champions. But right now, it just hurts so much.”

Ririe’s previous state tournament appearance occurred in 2004, and it ended the same way as this year’s trip. In 2004, Wendell beat the Bulldogs 79-46 to claim the 2A crown.

The long state layoff made this season feel extra special for the Bulldogs. But they didn’t sneak into this year’s tournament. They bulldozed their way in. Ririe entered the postseason 22-2,

including a 3-1 record against three-time defending state champion Firth.

Bear Lake handed Ririe its other loss, and it wasn’t particularly close. Two weeks after the Bulldogs beat the Bears 61-55 at home, they fell 60-46 at Bear Lake. It was Ririe’s lowest-scoring game of the season until Saturday.

The Bulldogs shot a mediocre 8-of-24 (33.3 percent) in the first half. The Bears weren’t much better, but they led 29-22. Bear Lake went 12-of-35 (34.3 percent) from the field thanks to an equal number of offensive rebounds (nine) as Ririe and a turnover advantage (Ririe had eight, Bear n The Bulldogs switched to man-to-man in the second half RIRIE, Continued on Page B2

Sugar-Salem ends a 23-year state title drought with an overtime thriller

n Hayden Wood scored a career-high 27 points for the Diggers in their 71-69 win over Snake River

B Y VICTOR FLORES vflores@postregister.com

NAMPA — Everything signaled another win for the Madison High School boys basketball.

After an early hole in Saturday’s 5A state consolation final, the Bobcats looked in control of Bonneville for the fourth time this season. But with a 39-38 Madison edge, the faucet shut off for both teams.

Nine total points were scored after that point (2:08 left in the regulation). The Bees scored six.

Bonneville (16-11) lost by a combined 71 points to Madison (22-3) in the teams’ first three 5A District 5-6 meetings this season.

The point differential doesn’t matter to the Bees now. They beat the Bobcats — ranked No. 1 in the 5A media poll all season — 44-42 in overtime Saturday at Columbia High School.

NAMPA — Shawn Freeman was a freshman at Sugar-Salem High School the last time the Diggers won a boys basketball state championship.

On Saturday, he sat in the head coach’s chair on Sugar’s bench.

From there, he watched his team end a 23-year title drought.

The Diggers (20-5) held off Snake River (21-4) in a 71-69 overtime white knuckler Saturday in the 3A state title game at the Ford Idaho Center. Sugar’s fifth state championship in school history was its first since 1994.

“I don’t think it will sink in for a while,” Freeman said. “Just a special year. A special team.”

Few drought-ending title wins are possible without career performances. Sugar got two on Saturday.

Hayden Wood scored a careerhigh 27 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field. The senior guard also hit 6-of-7 3-pointers and 5-of-8 free throws.

In the second quarter, when the rest of his teammates were off target, Wood hit a pair of 3s to decrease a seven-point and eightpoint deficit, respectively. Midway through the third, he hit two more threes to help Sugar gain its first lead since early in the first.

“I didn’t start too hot,” Wood said. “I just caught on, let the game come to me.”

Wood had help, too. Senior forward Parker Miller scored 10 of 22 points in the third quarter,

27-point deficit to make things interesting before ultimately succumbing, 83-72, at Borah High.

Idaho Falls finishes the season 13-14, with a list of accomplishments that includes an unexpected 4A District 6 championship, the Tigers’ first state appearance since 2011 and the program’s first state victory since 1999.

“There are a lot of things going right at Idaho Falls right now,” said Peterson, who also led the Tigers with seven rebounds. “This was a great experience, and with the kids we have coming up, hopefully this lays the foundation for what’s to come.”

Bishop Kelly (21-5) was fresh off a buzzer-beating loss to Preston in Friday’s semifinals, but there was no hangover on Saturday morning. The Knights blitzed Idaho Falls early, hitting outside shots and forcing turnovers to lead 19-10 after one quarter and 44-26 at halftime.

“We don’t usually play that brand of basketball,” Peterson said of the high-scoring pace.

“But when you play a team as talented as Bishop Kelly, you’re going to have to put up points.

We couldn’t match them in the first half.”

fall. But rather than fold, the Tigers fought back, erupting for 28 third-quarter points to get back in the game.

“We started playing with a lot more intensity,” Idaho Falls coach Howard Hart said. “As a coach, that makes you proud because of the heart and the character our kids showed today.”

Idaho Falls closed the gap to seven points in the fourth quarter, but the Tigers couldn’t get over the hump. Austin Staker finished with 12 points,

At Capital High School, the Firth High School boys basketball team ended its season with a dominating 72-45 win over Melba to win the 2A state consolation game and take a trophy home for the fourth consecutive season.

The Cougars, who shot 55.7 percent from the field for the game, led 32-21 at halftime and outscored the Mustangs 40-24 in the second half. Firth poured in 22 points in the fourth quarter while holding Melba to eight points. The Cougars also had nine turnovers to Melba’s 16 and 28 rebounds to 25 by the Mustangs.

Ririe won the glass and cut the turnovers down in the second half, but the shots weren’t firing. The Bulldogs made 5-of-30 (16.7 percent) field goals in the final two quarters.

The Bulldogs’ switched to man-to-man in the second half and held Bear Lake to 5-of-15 (33.3 percent) on field goals. But the damage had been done.

Ririe’s cold shooting performance was amplified

by Avery Carlsen’s performance. Bear Lake’s junior guard scored a gamehigh 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including 5-of-9 from 3. He didn’t make a 3 in his first two tournament games.

Ten locals make Idaho Statewide All-Star rosters n The annual game takes place March 25 at North Idaho College POST REGISTER

Eastern Idaho will send 10 players from nine schools to the annual Idaho Statewide All-Star basketball games later this month.

The rosters for the games, which take place March 25 at North Idaho College, follow the theme that was introduced last year: the Boise metropolitan area vs. the rest of the state. Prior to last year, the teams were divided into north Idaho vs. south Idaho. The switch was made to allow for more slots for players from south Idaho, although the ‘metro’ rosters don’t consist solely of athletes from the Treasure Valley.

Madison’s Leah Dougherty, Sugar-Salem’s Amanda Rudd and Teton’s Jenna Abbott will play

for the Region girls team while Butte County’s Macy Hansen and Ririe’s Haddi Williams will play for the Metro girls, which will be coached by Butte County head coach Carla Hansen.

On the boys side, Blackfoot’s Jarod Greene and Idaho Falls’s Sawyer Storms will play for the Region team while Madison’s Jaxon Edelmayer, Madison’s Con Ball and Skyline’s Carson Lott will play for the Metro team.

The Bulldogs will lose six seniors, including Torgerson’s son Staten. Coach and son shared a long embrace during the second-place trophy presentation after the game.

“I just told him I loved him and I was really proud of him,” coach Torgerson said. “He’s like those other (seniors). They’ve given so much. He’s always wanted to be a state champion, and he knew he wasn’t able to live out his dream.”

Torgerson noted how far his team has come.

The Bulldogs finished the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons dead last in 2A District 6. They were secondto-last in 2015-16.

“Then in one year, we’re playing for a state championship,” Torgerson said.

“We’ve gotta remember perspective. What a comeback as a program.”

accounting for half his team’s points in those eight minutes.

Despite Wood’s and Miller’s efforts, the Diggers trailed by two heading into the fourth. Wood and Miller came through again, combining to score 12 of Sugar’s 15 points in the quarter.

The biggest shot in the fourth, however, came from Luke Holt. The senior wing drained a corner 3 to give Sugar a 54-53 lead with 1:41 left.

Wood made two trips to the free throw line about a minute later, and he split his four attempts. That left the door open for Snake.

Trailing 56-54 with 9.2 seconds left, the Panthers tried to win it. But Coby

Young missed a corner 3, seemingly ending Snake’s title hopes. But with two seconds on the clock, Clancy Thomas (26 points, 8-of-15 on field goals) grabbed the rebound and made a layup to send the game into overtime.

Sugar wasn’t phased.

The Diggers built a 66-59 lead with less than two minutes left.

It seemed all but over.

Snake kept coming.

Carson Dance cut the deficit to 66-61, and Sugar’s Jaron Rose split his following free throws. Porter Baldwin (13 points, 6-of-14 on field goals) sunk a deep 3, and the deficit became 3. Miller sunk both his free throws, and Wood split a pair on the next offensive possession. But Thomas sandwiched Wood’s foul shots with two layups.

Thomas’ second bucket was

an and-1, which he converted to make the score 70-69.

With 14.3 seconds left, Holt split his free throws.

Bridger Truman (15 points, 7-of-14) dribbled down the right side and fired a 3. It didn’t reach the basket, and the buzzer sounded. A celebration 23 years in the making commenced on the other side of the court.

“It feels like heaven,” Miller said.

Snake only loses three seniors (Baldwin, Truman and Anderson), so coach Robert Coombs sounded optimistic about next season.

“Hopefully we’ll be back next year,” Coombs said.

Sugar loses seven seniors, including four starters (Holt, Miller, Wood and Junior Gonzalez). The other three are Rose, Cameron Garner and Taevin Norman.

“You always keep the big things in the back of your mind, and you always reach for your end goal,” Wood said. “We came to state, and we just battled the whole time.”

Freeman didn’t play in that 1994 title game, but he can now claim something in common with his mentor Glenn Romney, who coached Sugar to back-toback 3A titles in 1993 and 1994.

“That tradition got me into coaching, helped me out in my life,” Freeman said. “Just really happy to win one right after him.”

taken out on Thursday,” Hawkins said. “Today, knowing it was the championship day game, I know in their minds they still hadn’t gotten over it. It just took its toll.”

Saturday’s point problems didn’t eliminate drama. Bonneville gained a 17-6 lead after one quarter and led by as many as 18 points in the second. The Bobcats trailed 29-11 with about two minutes left in the half, saddled with a 5-of-22 (22.7 percent) shooting slump.

Madison proceeded to finish the quarter on a 9-0 run, which grew to 16-1 early in the third quarter and 23-8 by the start of the fourth.

The next 12 minutes

were an exercise in deliberate offense and exhaustion. The teams combined to attempt 19 field goals in the fourth quarter and overtime.

“Both teams were out of gas,” Tucker said. “The more either one of us ran, the more tired we got. It just came down, in all honestly, to getting a break at the end and taking advantage of it.”

The score was tied at 42-42 with 32.2 seconds left in overtime when Harrigfeld went to the free throw line. He split the foul shots, giving Madison a chance for the win.

With four seconds left, Madison senior forward Nate Webb drove into the lane. Harrigfeld shuffled

in front of him, and Webb was called for a charge.

It was the first charge Harrigfeld has drawn this season, he said.

Harrigfeld split his subsequent free throws, and Jaxon Edelmayer’s halfcourt prayer went unanswered as time expired.

“I felt like I was about to pass out,” Harrigfeld said.

The win gave Bonneville its first state trophy since 2014, when the Bees won the 4A third-place trophy. On Saturday, Dillon Sorensen scored 19 points (6-of-10 from the field, 5-of-6 from the line), while Harrigfeld added eight points (3-of-5 from the field) and 12 rebounds.

Harrigfeld was one of nine seniors on Bonne-

ville’s roster this season.

“You saw an extremely talented group of individuals come together and be a team,” Tucker said.

“That’s why I kept so many seniors. I thought it was important for us to be a group together.”

Mason Downey scored 19 points (8-of-16 on field goals), and Webb added 11 (5-of-14) for Madison, which lost twice as many games during the state tournament as it did before it.

“They’re the best team in the state of Idaho. I’ll say it to this day,” Hawkins said of his team. “They had one goal this year, and they were good enough to do it.

You know what? It doesn’t always happen.”

The Bobcats will lose eight seniors, including five starters (Downey, Webb, Jaxon Edelmayer, Branden Edelmayer and Konner Jackson).

Hawkins said he isn’t sure if he’ll return for his 30th season as Madison’s head coach.

“Still a little bit up in the air,” he said.

The Grizzlies finish tied with rival Montana State, one game behind Weber State. Montana earned a first-round bye in the conference tournament and faces a rematch with Weber State Thursday in Reno, Nevada.

Montana (16-15, 11-7) build a 13-point lead at intermission and never looked back against the Bengals (5-25, 3-15), who finish tied with Southern Utah for 11th place in conference and are the final team to advance to the tournament. They face Montana State Tuesday night in Reno.

Rorie hit 10 of 16 shots from the floor, including 3 of 5 from long range.

Michael Oguine finished with 19 points.

Ethan Telfair converted 15 of 16 shots from the free

throw line and finished with 32 points for Idaho State.

Around the Region BOISE STATE 98, AIR FORCE 70: COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — James Reid pumped in eight 3-pointers and scored 26 points, both career highs, to lead Boise State to a 98-70 win over Air Force on Saturday.

Nick Duncan added 23 points, Chandler Hutchison had 12 and Justinian Jessup 11 for Boise State, which shot 64 percent from the field and was 20 of 34 from long range to clinch the third seed in next week’s Mountain West Conference Tournament.

Reid was 9 for 16 from the field and 8 of 15 from behind the arc to propel Boise State (19-10, 12-6) to its highest-scoring game of the season.

IDAHO 84, SOUTHERN UTAH 75: CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) — Victor Sanders and Arkadiy Mkrtychyan combined to score 43

points and Idaho clinched a first-round bye in the Big Sky Conference by beating Southern Utah, 84-75 in the regular season finale Saturday.

The victory wraps up a third-place finish for the Vandals, behind North Dakota and Eastern Washington. Idaho plays the winner of a game between the conference No. 6 and No. 11 seed in a quarterfinal game Thursday in Reno, Nevada.

WEBER STATE 76, MONTANA STATE 67: OGDEN, Utah (AP) — Jeremy Senglin scored 22 points, Jerrick Harding had 19 and Kyndahl Hill grabbed 15 rebounds and Weber State closed out Big Sky Conference play with a 76-67 win over Montana State Saturday night.

Weber State (17-12, 12-6) is the conference’s No. 4 seed and earned a first-round bye in the conference tournament at Reno, Nevada.

Baker had 12 points and made all six of his foul shots.

UTAH VALLEY 61, SEATTLE 51: OREM, Utah (AP) — Jordan Poydras scored 17 points and grabbed five rebounds and Utah Valley won its third straight to clinch the No. 4 seed in next week’s Western Athletic Conference Tournament with a 61-54 win over Seattle on Saturday night.

A jumper by Poydras with 50 seconds left gave the Wolverines (14-15, 6-8) a 55-52 lead. He made 4 of 4 free throws after that to ice the win as Utah Valley closed on an 8-2 run.

Seattle (13-16, 5-9) trailed 29-22 at the break but opened the second half on an 11-2 run to take a 33-31 lead. The Redhawks led 44-39 with 10:14 remaining, but Conner Toolson scored seven of his eight points for Utah Valley in a 54-second

span later in the half, capped by a 3 to put the Wolverines up 48-46 with 5:51 left.

UTAH 67, STANFORD 59: SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Lorenzo Bonam has rarely played in front of family during his four years of college ball. The Inkster, Michigan native played two years at Gillette College in Wyoming before transferring to Utah. The senior put on a show in his final home game in front of large group of family that drove to Salt Lake City from the Detroit suburb Bonam scored a careerhigh 26 points as Utah rallied to defeat Stanford 67-59 on Saturday afternoon.

“I put my heart into it,” Bonam said. “It means everything to me (to have family here). ... To have them drive here from Detroit, they’re crazy. It’s a blessing.

In front of them, I felt like I had to show out.

“It was like it was meant to be. I was telling them I’m going to go out like Kobe.”

The Utes (20-10, 11-7) will go into the Pac-12 Tournament as the No. 4

seed and a first-round bye despite a choppy season.

They were picked to finish eighth in the conference preseason poll.

Stanford (14-16, 6-12) must wait to find out its seed in the tournament.

“It was an uphill battle for us,” Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak said. “I talked about it three weeks ago and I think everybody thought I was crazy when I said we were still aspiring to be the fourth seed until somebody tells me otherwise. A few things fell into place from outside sources and we took care of all the business we needed to take care of.

Both teams were sloppy throughout, but Bonam took over down the stretch on both ends of the floor to put the Cardinal away. The Utes used a 14-2 run late in the game, including nine from Bonam to take an eight-point lead after trailing most of the day. Bonam had back-toback steals and layups to go up 62-54. Stanford never led again.

Thomas makes an ace and takes lead in Mexico n Thomas, going for his fourth PGA Tour victory of the season, rode a hole-in-one to a 5-under 66 B Y DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

MEXICO CITY — Justin Thomas hit a 6-iron that onehopped into the bottom of the cup. Dustin Johnson hit a wedge that never came down from a tree. In one of the 10 fairways that Phil Mickelson missed, a spectator apparently ran off with his golf ball.

Even better than the wild action Saturday in the Mexico Championship was the promise of more to come.

Thomas, going for his fourth PGA Tour victory of the season, rode a hole-in-one to a 5-under 66 to take a one-shot lead over Dustin Johnson at Chapultepec Golf Club. Right behind were Mickelson and Rory McIlroy, who saw his momentum stall when his flip wedge on No. 12 struck the pin and spun back.

Such a world-class leaderboard should have been enough to delight the crowd at Chapultepec Golf Club.

It was how they got there that made it so entertaining.

Thomas was lingering around the leaders, trying to piece together a swing, when he was caught between clubs from 239 yards away on the par-3 13th. He hit 6-iron and sent the crowd into delirium when it bounced once and disappeared into the cup.

“It looked perfect,” he said. “I think I said, ‘Go in.’ You might as well say it,” Thomas said while watching the shot on a TV

Justin Thomas, of the U.S., tees off on the 17th hole in round three of the Mexico Championship at Chapultepec Golf Club in Mexico City on Saturday. All but one of the world’s top 50 golfers are contesting the World Golf Championship PGA event, which this year relocated to Mexico City from the Trump National Doral Resort in Florida. monitor. “I haven’t hit too many shots exactly how I wanted. I liked this result.”

Johnson was tied for the lead when his second shot on the 16th got stuck in a tree. He had no choice but to walk back to the original spot and hit his fourth shot that settled 15 feet from the cup. Just his luck, the ball fell out of the tree as he was walking to the green.

“It happens,” Johnson shrugged after a 66. “I did make a nice putt for bogey, though, so I was definitely happy about that.”

Johnson is happy when he sees

any putt fall into the cup. He is swing as beautifully as he did at Riviera two weeks ago when he won by five shots, but missing seven out of 15 putts from inside 7 feet has made him wonder if the greens are conspiring against him.

“If it’s not the greens — someone is playing goalie up by the hole — the trees are catching my ball,” Johnson said.

No one was more wild than Mickelson, who used to thrive on such scrambling skills. This time, he was disappointed. Mickelson thought he had those big misses off the tee out of his system, but

they returned in a big way on Saturday. He missed seven out of eight fairways in one stretch, and through 12 holes, he had more drops than he had birdies. He still managed a par when the spectator made off with his golf ball. He managed par after taking a drop from a sprinkler into bushes.

He still managed a 68, and was just two shots behind.

“I’ve shot numbers like this hitting shots like that and salvaging strokes, but I’ve been playing better than that,” Mickelson said, clearly disappointed.

“That looks like the way I’ve hit it

the last three years — all over the place and saving shot. I haven’t been doing that this year. I wanted to come out here and strike the ball the way I’ve been striking it, and then to hit it the way I did was disappointing.”

McIlroy was playing in the final group with Mickelson for the first time on a weekend, and his round of 70 was comparatively boring.

If anything, he felt he lost a little rhythm waiting on Mickelson to get rulings on three consecutive holes to start the back nine.

“Phil rode his luck out there,” McIlroy said. “But geez, if I was hitting it off the tee like he did today, there’s no way I would shoot 68. That’s the great thing about Phil. ... I would be a mess if I was hitting it the way he was today. I guess that’s the difference between us. I like to see it going down the fairway and playing nice that way, where he goes like this and shoots two better than me. So there you go.”

At nearly 7,800 feet of elevation, the final round figures to be up in the thin air. That might even include Jordan Spieth, who set the course record with an 8-under 63 and was among a dozen players within five shots of the lead.

Lee Westwood, who has played in more World Golf Championships than anyone since they began in 1999, shot 31 on the back nine for a 66 and was three behind, along with Spanish rookie Jon Rahm, who had a 67.

Johnson is trying to become the fifth player to win in his debut at No. in the world, and he still likes his position. He will be in the final group with Thomas and McIlroy.

“I have a lot of great players chasing me,” Thomas said. “I just have to go out and make a bunch of birdies.”

Washington receiver John Ross breaks NFL combine’s 40 record INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Washington receiver John Ross III has run the 40-yard dash in a record-setting 4.22 seconds at the NFL scouting combine.

Ross completed the feat on his first attempt Saturday, breaking Chris Johnson’s record of 4.24 seconds in 2008.

While Ross was winding down, he appeared to hurt his left leg. The NFL Network reported that Ross wouldn’t do any more drills during the workout because of sore calves.

Ross told the league’s television network he felt good but “got tight at the end.”

One player who was impressed after hearing the time was Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garett, who just shook his head. Garrett

NEW YORK — Stephen Curry screamed, turned and kicked the nearby wall, disgusted by another missed jumper. It was just practice and most of his other shots went in, so there was little reason for concern.

But if he keeps misfiring in games and the Golden State Warriors keep losing them, there might be.

With Curry in a rare shooting slump and the Warriors on an even rarer losing streak, the NBA leaders are facing adversity — at least by their standards — as they visit the New York Knicks on Sunday.

Curry is 4 for 31 from 3-point range through three games of the Warriors’ road trip, with most of the last two games coming after Kevin Durant was injured.

The Warriors found a way to win the opener in Philadelphia — when Curry missed

all 11 attempts behind the arc — but they then dropped games in Washington and Chicago to end their NBA-record streak of regular-season games without consecutive losses at 146.

“We haven’t lost two in row in a long time obviously and we’ve been in a rut on this trip in general,” coach Steve Kerr said after practice Saturday at a court in the Manhattan building where the players’ union is headquartered. “We’re not making shots, but we’re also well aware that this is just a blip on the radar screen.

We’ll be fine and I’m not concerned at all. We just have to play better.”

Klay Thompson is also struggling, and the Splash Brothers really dried up Thursday, going a combined 3 for 22 on 3-pointers in a 94-87 loss in Chicago. But the Warriors don’t seem stressed and don’t think defenses are crowding the guards more

than normal without having to worry about Durant.

“We’ve had plenty of openings and creating decent shots, just haven’t gone in in the last three games,” Curry said. “But that happens as you go through a long season, you just have to fight through it and not let it affect how you play. Obviously if we make a couple more shots in Chicago the game’s a little different. Philly it was a struggle but we found a way to win, so just got to stay on the mission of letting the offense create good things for us and still have confidence to knock down shots.”

The Warriors were held to their lowest point total of the season Thursday.

Curry and Thompson were a combined 15 of 49 from the field. Those are performances Golden State can’t afford without Durant, its leading scorer who is lost for at least four weeks with a knee injury.

“It happens to the best of them, so you just move on,” All-Star Draymond Green said. “You try to make plays, get them the ball and get them open shots, knowing that more often than not they’ll fall. But everybody has shooting struggles.”

Curry seemed to rush some shots late in the last loss, and he’s trying to be more aggressive in Durant’s absence without changing the way the Warriors play. Kerr said Curry and Thompson — who is 7 for 33 behind the arc on the trip — had plenty of space to shoot.

“The only thing that jumps out on tape is that they’re taking some quick ones that we could probably move the ball a little bit more and get better shots,” Kerr said. “We’re still getting good shots. I think we can get great shots if we move it a little better.”

President Donald Trump speaks Monday in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington. Trump is accusing former President Barack Obama of having Trump’s telephones “wire tapped” during last year’s election, but isn’t offering any evidence or saying what prompted the allegation.

PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Donald Trump on Saturday accused former President Barack Obama of tapping his telephones during last year’s election, lodging a startling allegation of abuse of power without evidence or explanation.

An Obama spokesman declared the assertion “simply false.”

In a series of angry morning tweets, Trump suggested his predecessor was behind a politically motivated plot to upend his campaign. He compared the alleged events to “Nixon/Watergate” and “McCarthyism!” He called Obama a “Bad (or sick) guy.”

LOS ANGELES — Dozens of police departments around the U.S. are amassing their own DNA databases to track criminals, a move critics say is a way around regulations governing state and national databases that restrict who can provide genetic samples and how long that information is held.

The local agencies create the rules for their databases, in some cases allowing samples to be taken from children or from people never arrested for a crime. Police chiefs say having their own collections helps them solve cases faster because they can avoid the backlogs that plague state and federal repositories.

Frederick Harran, the public safety director in Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania, was an early adopter of a local database. Since it was created in 2010, he said robberies and burglaries have been gone down due to arrests made because of the DNA collection.

Harran said the Pennsylvania state lab takes up to 18 months to process DNA taken from a burglary scene but with the local database authorities go through a private lab and get results within a month. He said he uses money from assets seized from criminals to pay for the private lab work.

DNA is found in cells and provides a genetic blueprint unique to each person.

Blood, saliva, semen, hair, and skin are among the biological clues a criminal might leave at a crime scene and investigators need only a few cells to create a profile.

Police typically get a DNA sample by swabbing the inside of a person’s mouth.

That sample can then be compared against others in a database to see if a match occurs.

Some police departments collect samples from people who are never arrested or convicted of crimes, though in all such

Immigration courts: record number of cases, many problems n Before Trump became president, the nation’s immigration courts were burdened B Y KATE BRUMBACK Associated Press

ATLANTA — Everyone was in place for the hearing in Atlanta immigration court: the Guinean man hoping to stay in the U.S., his attorney, a prosecutor, a translator and the judge. But because of some missing paperwork, it was all for nothing.

When the government attorney said he hadn’t received the case file, Judge J. Dan Pelletier rescheduled the proceeding. Everybody would have to come back another day.

The sudden delay was just one example of the inefficiency witnessed by an Associated Press writer who observed hearings over two days in one of the nation’s busiest immigration courts.

And that case is one of more than half a million weighing down court dockets across the country as President Donald Trump steps up enforcement of immigration laws.

Even before Trump became president, the nation’s immigration courts were burdened with a record number of pending cases, a shortage of judges and frequent bureaucratic breakdowns. Cases involving immigrants not in custody commonly take two years to resolve and sometimes as many as five.

The backlog and insufficient resources are problems stretching back at least a

decade, said San Francisco Immigration Judge Dana Marks, speaking as the president of the National Association of Immigration Judges.

“It would be a shame if the mistakes of the past continue to be repeated,” Marks said, citing previous attempts to ramp up enforcement without providing adequate resources to the courts.

Trump’s recent executive orders and subsequent memos from Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly have focused on hiring more enforcement agents to find and detain people in the country illegally, but the administration has been largely silent on beefing up immigration courts.

The system includes 58 courts in 27 states. Their job

Trump supporters slam opponents n Groups of hundreds of people rallied for President on Saturday ASSOCIATED PRESS

From Colorado’s state Capitol to Trump Tower in New York and the Washington Monument, groups of hundreds of people rallied for President Donald Trump on Saturday, waving “Deplorables for Trump” signs and even carrying a life-size cutout of the president.

Chelsea Thomas, an accountant from Thornton, Colorado, brought her family to the March 4 Trump rally in Denver — and the life-size cardboard cutout of

People appearing in immigration court are generally considered to have the right to an attorney, but the court isn’t required to provide one for free as in criminal cases. Rulings can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and board decisions can be appealed to a federal appeals court.

WIRE

From Page C1 rebukes from Democrats and Republicans alike who find his habit of venting on social media to be beneath the office of the president.

After delivering a well-received speech to Congress earlier this week, the tweets reflected the president’s growing frustration with the swirling allegations about his advisers’ ties to Russia, which are under FBI investigation, and his team’s inability to overcome them. Trump lashed out at his senior team during an Oval Office meeting Friday, according to one White House official.

The White House did not respond to questions about what prompted the president’s accusations that Obama had tapped his phones. Presidents cannot legally order wiretaps against U.S. citizens.

Trump said Saturday morning he had “just found out” the information, though it was unclear whether he was referring to a briefing, a conversation or a media report. The president has in the past tweeted

Trump. She said the family has taken it with them on camping trips, boat rides and a country music festival.

“It’s nice to be surrounded by people who share your morals and opinions,” said Thomas, as her son walked back and forth across the grass with a Trump flag.

Many in the crowd held American flags or wore red, white and blue and held signs with messages like “Veterans before Refugees.”

Police in Berkeley, California, say 10 people were arrested after Trump supporters and counter-protesters clashed during a rally that turned violent and left seven people injured. None of the injured was hospitalized.

A dagger, metal pipes, bats, pieces of lumber and bricks were

confiscated, police said.

Six people protesting the rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, were arrested on felony riot charges after they lit fireworks inside the Minnesota State Capitol and fled, police said. About 400 people attended the event, and about 50 showed up to protest it.

In Nashville, two people were arrested as protesters clashed with Trump supporters at the Tennessee Capitol. In Olympia, Washington, the state patrol says four demonstrators were arrested at a rally in support of Trump, KOMO-TV reported. Authorities did not say if the people arrested were pro-Trump or antiTrump. The station reports that the demonstrators are accused of assaulting a police officer.

Near Mar-a-Lago, the Palm Beach Post reported that people on both sides exchanged profanity. Trump’s motorcade briefly stopped so he could wave at supporters.

In Ohio, Trump supporter Margaret Howe, 57, of Pataskala, said she increasingly fears civil war.

“We did not want to have something like this happen,” she said, adding, “We came out today because Trump deserves to see he still has people for him. It’s just all sad.”

A group of counter protesters gathered nearby, separated from the rally by police tape. They chanted “No Trump. No KKK. No fascist USA” and held signs with messages like “Your vote was a hate crime.”

Hundreds gathered in rallies on both ends of Pennsylvania to show support for Trump.

At a North Carolina rally, speakers said the dishonest media and left wing politicians were bordering on sedition in their opposition to the Republican president.

Some men were seen walking through the Raleigh crowd carrying a Trump flag as well as a Confederate flag. Gathered just behind the rally was a handful of protesters, some of whom blew air horns in an attempt to disrupt the event.

“We’re gonna take our country back and we’re gonna establish borders and have legal immigration and law and order,” said Cherie Francis, of Cary, North Carolina.

DNA

typically takes about a year, said Kathryn Mattingly, a spokeswoman for the Executive Office for Immigration Review.

The office “constantly evaluates the need to shift its resources,” Mattingly said, and is reviewing ways to maximize its efforts on “priority cases.”

In all, more than 534,000 cases were pending before immigration courts nationwide in February, according to a recent memo from Kelly.

Advocates worry the Trump administration will increase the use of procedures that allow authorities to deport people without using the court system at all.

“Instead of actually trying to make the courts better, they just want to use them less, even though that obviously is deeply problematic from a due-process standpoint,” said Omar Jadwat, director of the

American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants’ Rights Project.

The increased use of detention could also lead immigrants with valid claims for staying in the U.S. to accept deportation, just to avoid extended periods of time in detention, Jadwat said.

Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which pushes for strict immigration policies, said the greater threat of detention could deter people from coming to the U.S. or encourage some who are here to leave.

Mehlman agrees the system is broken, but said advocacy groups and lawyers who keep filing new motions and appeals are part of the problem.

“They understand that time works to their benefit and that the longer you can drag this out, the more bites

at the apple you can get, the greater the likelihood that you can find some plausible reason for remaining here in the United States,” he said.

When asked if adding more cases to the backlog could threaten the due-process rights of noncitizens, Marks said it is the job of immigration judges to make sure that doesn’t happen.

“But the pressures on the system certainly do allow more opportunities for errors to be made,” she said.

“You try to do your best to hear things fairly but also quickly, and there is always a tension between how you strike that balance.”

Slowing down can be more efficient because people are less likely to appeal if they feel their cases have been fairly heard, Marks said. More careful consideration also means a case might be less likely to be overturned.

the person is supposed to voluntarily comply and not be coerced or threatened.

State and federal authorities typically require a conviction, arrest or warrant before a sample is entered into their collections.

“The local databases have very, very little regulations and very few limits, and the law just hasn’t caught up to them,” said Jason Kreig, a law professor at the University of Arizona who has studied the issue. “Everything with the local DNA databases is skirting the spirit of the regulations.”

It’s unclear how many police departments maintain their own DNA databanks because they are subject to no state or federal oversight, but

police in California, Florida, Connecticut and Pennsylvania have spoken publicly about their local databases.

In San Diego, in addition to voluntary samples taken from adults, police officers are allowed to take samples from juveniles who aren’t arrested or convicted as long as they are for investigative purposes and the children sign a consent form. After the sample is taken, a police officer is required to contact the child’s parent or legal guardian to tell them a DNA swab was collected.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against San Diego last month alleging the policy “purports to sideswipe” restrictions implemented by a California state law that bars those samples from being entered into the state’s DNA database.

about unsubstantiated and provocative reports he reads on blogs or conservative websites.

Still, the morning tweets stand out, even for the perpetually piqued Trump, given the gravity of the charge and the strikingly personal attack on the former president. Trump spoke as recently as last month about how much he likes Obama and how much they get along, despite their differences.

“How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process.

This is Nixon/Watergate.

Bad (or sick) guy!” he tweeted, misspelling ‘tap.’

Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said a “cardinal rule” of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered in Justice Department investigations, which are supposed to be conducted free of political influence.

“As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen,” Lewis said, adding that “any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”

Rep. Adam Schiff of Cal-

ifornia, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement that Trump was making “the most outlandish and destructive claims without providing a scintilla of evidence to support them.”

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., called on Trump to explain what he knows about the wiretapping allegations “ideally to the full public, and at a bare minimum to the U.S. Senate.”

Trump has been trailed for months by questions about his campaign’s ties to Russia. The questions have been compounded

by U.S. intelligence agencies’ assessment that Russia interfered with the election to help Trump triumph over Hillary Clinton, along with disclosures about his aides’ contacts with a Russian official.

Those disclosures have already cost retired Gen. Michael Flynn his job as national security adviser and prompted calls from Democrats for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign.

On Thursday, Sessions recused himself from the FBI probe after acknowledging he did not disclose

his campaign-season contacts with Russia’s ambassador to the United States when asked during his confirmation proceedings. Sessions, a U.S. senator at the time, was Trump’s earliest Senate supporter.

The Sessions revelations deepened the president’s anger over what he sees as his team’s inability to get ahead of the Russia allegations.

In the Oval Office meeting Friday shortly before departing for Florida, he angrily told senior advisers that what had the potential to be a good week following his address to Congress had been overtaken by the Russia controversy, according to a White House official who insisted on anonymity in order to discuss the private meeting.

Chief of staff Reince Priebus, who was scheduled to depart with Trump, was told to stay in Washington, the White House official said. Chief strategist Steve Bannon also stayed behind, though he eventually traveled to Florida on Saturday with Sessions.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Priebus and Bannon had volunteered to stay in Wash-

ington.

In his morning tweets, Trump said the wiretapping occurred in October at Trump Tower, the New York skyscraper where he ran his campaign and transition. He also maintains a residence there.

The president’s allegations may be related to anonymously sourced reports in British media and blogs, and on conservative-leaning U.S. websites, including Breitbart News.

Those reports claimed that U.S. officials had obtained a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to review contacts between computers at a Russian bank and Trump’s New York headquarters.

The Associated Press has not confirmed these contacts or the investigation into them. Bannon is a former executive chairman of Breitbart News.

FISA is a 1978 law that created a system to hear requests to surveil foreign intelligence agents. It differs from a regular criminal warrant because it does not require the government to provide probable cause that a crime has occurred.

Instead, under FISA, the government must simply

provide evidence that the target of an investigation is an agent of a foreign power.

Such targetable agents would include Russian diplomats such as Sergei Kislyak, the ambassador who spoke with a number of Trump aides. But a FISA warrant could also include others for whom investigators could muster probable cause, potentially including entities directly connected to Trump.

Obama could not order a FISA warrant. Obtaining one would require officials at the Justice Department to seek permission from the FISA court, which is shrouded in secrecy. Judges could order prosecutors to share FISA information with defendants if they deem it necessary for challenging a search’s legality, but courts have consistently agreed with the government that disclosing the material could expose sensitive intelligence secrets.

One exception to this practice is the president himself, who has the authority to declassify records. In Trump’s case, he could confirm any such surveillance of his campaign or business undertaken before he took office in January.

Zinke vows to review coal leasing program WASHINGTON (AP) — Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is promising a comprehensive review of the agency’s coal leasing program, even as President Donald Trump moves to do away with an Obama administration moratorium on new coal leases on federal lands.

Trump, who has vowed to revitalize the slumping coal industry, is expected to issue an executive order any day now abandoning the Obama-era moratorium on new coal leases on federal lands. Zinke said he will “look at everything across the board” on coal, adding that the department is likely to revamp the leasing program to ensure maximum value for coal companies and taxpayers alike. The former Montana congressman was sworn in Wednesday as Interior secretary. He spoke to reporters Friday after an introductory speech to Interior employees.

Environmental programs face cuts under proposal n Trump plans to submit his budget to Congress the week of March 13 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration would slash programs aimed at slowing climate change and improving water safety and air quality, while eliminating thousands of jobs, according to a draft of the Environmental Protection Agency budget proposal obtained by The Associated Press.

Under the tentative plan from the Office of Management and Budget, the agency’s funding would be cut by roughly 25 percent and about 3,000 jobs would be cut, about 19 percent of the agency’s staff.

President Donald Trump has said he plans to pay for billions of dollars more for the military by cutting spending on domestic agencies and departments.

Trump plans to submit his

budget to Congress the week of March 13.

A spokesperson for the EPA declined to comment.

The agency had the opportunity to respond to the initial proposal, and any final plan would be subject to congressional approval, which likely is months away at the earliest.

The EPA is now under the leadership of Scott Pruitt, a former state attorney general for Oklahoma, who has questioned the scientific consensus that human activities are contributing to global warming and joined lawsuits against the agency’s emission curbs.

Proposed cuts include slashing the climate protection budget by nearly 70 percent to $29 million, cutting the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative by 97 percent to $10 million and environmental justice programs by 79 percent to $1.5 million.

Environmental groups said the proposed cuts would threaten thousands

of jobs and could harm health and safety protections for millions of Americans. The proposals would especially affect programs to address climate change and enforce clean air and water laws, they said.

“Instead of working to protect American families, President Trump’s plans put the interest of big-money special interests over people,” said Nat Mund, legislative director of the Southern Environmental Law Center, a Virginia-based advocacy group.

The proposal would all but eliminate funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a wideranging cleanup of the world’s largest surface freshwater system that has deep bipartisan support across the eight states adjacent to the lakes, from Minnesota to New York.

The program has received around $300 million annually from the federal budget during former President Barack Obama’s tenure —

more than $2.2 billion in all. Under the Trump proposal, it would get only $10 million.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Michigan Democrat, described the proposed cut as “outrageous.”

“This initiative has been critical to cleaning up our Great Lakes and waterways, restoring fish and wildlife habitats, and fighting invasive species, like Asian carp,” Stabenow said. “I call on President Trump to reverse course on these harmful decisions.”

Congress in December authorized continuing the program through 2021 at $300 million a year, although separate annual votes are needed to provide the money. In a Feb. 8 letter to Trump, the 20-member Congressional Great Lakes Task Force called for maintaining current funding. Among House members signing it were Republicans Bill Huizenga of Michigan, Sean Duffy of Wisconsin and David Joyce of Ohio.

Republican’s necks,” Debbie Meadows wrote.

Rep. Meadows said Friday that his wife sent the email to a small group of friends and relatives in an effort to support him.

“She was trying to help her husband, she is distraught that this is a distraction and she probably is more distraught because she really respects and admires Paul Ryan,” Meadows said.

Another GOP rebel, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, said that at a presentation Thursday, leaders played clips of Trump’s joint session speech, with the goal of convincing lawmakers that they are aligned with the president on the pending bill. But Massie dismissed the effort as “very unconvincing.”

The lawmakers are criticizing the developing legislation as “Obamacare lite.”

Trump to host Germany’s Merkel

WASHINGTON (AP) — As part of a sustained assault on the extremist group known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, U.S. warplanes have launched more than 30 airstrikes in Yemen the past two days, a Pentagon spokesman said Friday.

Navy Capt. Jeff Davis told reporters that U.S. airstrikes have targeted members of the group as well as their facilities, equipment, fighting positions and heavy weapons such as artillery. Davis said the number of bombs dropped in the airstrikes numbering in the “mid20s” had been launched on Thursday, followed by several more Friday, putting the combined total at more than 30.

The number of AQAP members has grown and estimated there are a couple thousand, a senior U.S. official said. The

group has light anti-aircraft weapons and possibly have shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles, the official said. Over years of fighting, the group captured many weapons from the Yemeni government.

The official was not authorized to provide details about the group’s threat publicly, so spoke on condition of anonymity.

Without specifying plans, Davis said the U.S. is undertaking a sustained campaign in areas of Yemen where AQAP is most active. He said no U.S. ground troops have been involved in, or even in the vicinity of, firefights there since a late-January special operations raid.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the White House later this month. White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders says the meeting will take place on March 14.

It will be the first in-person meeting between Trump and the German chancellor since the U.S. election.

Trump frequently criticized Merkel during his campaign, presidential accusing her of “ruining Germany” by taking in large numbers of refugees.

Merkel, who wields significant sway in Europe, was critical of Trump’s refugee and immigration travel ban, which was blocked by the courts.

Sanders did not offer details on what the two may discuss.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Capitol is suddenly awash with troublemakers and rebels — and that’s just the Republicans.

Whatever GOP unity was produced by Donald Trump’s victory in November has all but disappeared, and Republican leaders are confronting open rebellion in their ranks as they try to finalize health care legislation.

Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress this week was well-received, but did little to repair divisions.

In the Senate, a trio of conservatives that’s been a thorn in the side of leadership is back at it again. And in the House, recalcitrant

conservatives are banding together and threatening to foil House Speaker Paul Ryan’s plans for swift passage of the legislation to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s health law.

“Currently there are not enough votes to pass it in the House,” Rep. Mark Meadows of North Carolina, head of an influential group of conservatives, declared in an interview Friday.

Meadows said leaders appeared to believe they could jam the bill through by twisting arms and getting Trump to make calls, but insisted such tactics wouldn’t work on him without substantial change to the bill. His opposition is such that his wife sent out an email urging opposition to the bill, as reported by Politico this week. “It will end up being Ryancare and the disaster will be wrapped around

WORLD al-Basit, the brigade’s commander, confirmed the report.

Polish official: Women Journalist shot dead in Guerrero state are inferior to men WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A Polish member of the European Parliament has launched another sexist tirade, calling it a “20th century stereotype that women have the same intellectual potential as men,” and that the stereotype “must be destroyed because it is not true.”

Janusz Korwin-Mikke’s insults on Friday in Warsaw came two days after he told the European Parliament that “women must earn less than men because they are weaker, they are smaller, they are less intelligent.”

The president of the Parliament opened an investigation Thursday into the comments, for which Korwin-Mikke could face sanctions such as a reprimand, a fine or a temporary suspension.

His latest blast came after he was challenged by female lawmakers during a visit to the Polish parliament in Warsaw. Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus, from the Modern party, accused him of offending women and said she would not allow him to do it again.

Militias seize control of Libyan oil terminals BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — Libyan militias occupied major oil terminals on Friday after clashes with armed forces based in the east and commanded by army chief Gen. Khalifa Hifter, military officials said, amid fears the facilitates could sustain serious damage if the clashes escalate. At least nine soldiers were killed.

Faisal al-Zwei, the spokesman for the 101 Brigade, based at the so-called oil crescent region, told The Associated Press that some 1,000 militiamen in 200 vehicles clashed with the eastern armed forces over the oil terminals of al-Sidra and Ras Lanuf on Friday, forcing the army units to retreat.

He said the militias were joined by fighters loyal to eastern militia commander Ibrahim Jedran, the secessionist fighter who took over and oversaw the terminals until Hifter’s forces seized them last year. Mohammed

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — A journalist has been murdered in the troubled southern state of Guerrero, Mexican authorities said Friday, adding to a long list of reporter killings in what is considered one of the world’s most dangerous countries for media professionals.

The Guerrero state prosecutor’s office said in a statement that Cecilio Pineda Birto was shot dead Thursday evening in Ciudad Altamirano while in a hammock at a car wash waiting for his car to be serviced. Prosecutors said two attackers arrived on a motorcycle and one of them fired a handgun, according to eyewitness accounts.

Authorities were investigating, and there was no immediate word on whether his killing may have been related to his work.

U.N. mediator concludes ‘tough’ Syria talks in Geneva

n Talks in Astana are expected to Bombers destroy 3 fuel tankers in Nigeria continue as well

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Three suicide bombers set ablaze three fuel tankers in the center of Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri before dawn Friday, officials said, just days before a planned visit by the U.N. Security Council.

Soldiers fired at one of the bombers, a teenage girl, to avert what could have been a major attack on the city’s main fuel depot, according to the police chief and a witness.

The attack, outside a gas station opposite the northeastern headquarters of the Central Bank of Nigeria, killed only the three bombers, said Abdulkadir Ibrahim, spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency.

GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations special envoy for Syria concluded Friday a marathon round of talks in Geneva with an agreement from the conflicting parties to pursue further talks on a political transition to end the six-year war.

For nine days, seasoned diplomat Staffan De Mistura engaged in day-to-night proxy talks with a delegation representing the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and three opposition groups that only converged for the opening ceremony. Speaking to reporters after another long day of meetings, the envoy called the round of talks “substantive” and said the parties had agreed to return later in March to discuss

four points — governance, constitution, elections and counter-terrorism.

“The train is ready, it’s in the station, it’s warming up its engine,” he said. “It just needs an accelerator.”

Setting the agenda proved a delicate task in this round of talks, dubbed Geneva 4, which aimed to restore hope for a negotiated solution to a conflict that has raged for six years and claimed, by most counts, nearly half a millions lives.

De Mistura said that after a 10-month pause, the talks were unavoidably dominated by procedure, but he credited all sides for also addressing issues of substance. He noted that Damascus placed emphasis

on terrorism and the opposition on a political transition.

He said all parties understood they were working toward implementation of a U.N. Security Council framework that sets out a “clear timetable” to draft a new constitution for Syria within 12 months and for free and fair elections to be held within 18 months.

But, the envoy warned, there are “people in Syria and outside who still believe there is a military option or a military solution.”

“That is fantasy,” he said, adding that the United Nations would work in the coming weeks and months to settle the conflict.

De Mistura said the Geneva talks had the

support of key regional player Turkey, which supports the opposition, as well as the allies of Damascus, Russia and Iran. The three countries are the guarantors of a cessation of hostilities agreement mediated in Astana, the capital of Kazakstan.

The talks in Astana, like those in Geneva, are expected to continue. De Mistura said the efforts on these two fronts were complementary, with cease-fires leading to productive talks and productive talks in turn helping maintain cease-fires.

“If we don’t have productive talks, (the) cease-fire won’t last,” he said. “We are really working hand in hand but there are two hands.”

Turkey’s Erdogan: Arrested journalist is ‘German spy’ n Relations are already strained between the two countries

Farah Abdi Warsameh / Associated Press

Displaced Somali girls who fled the drought in southern Somalia stand in a line Feb. 25 to receive food handouts at a feeding center in a camp in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Somalia: 110 dead from hunger in past 48 hours n Severe drought is threatening millions of people across the country MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia’s prime minister said Saturday that 110 people have died from hunger in the past 48 hours in a single region — the first death toll announced in a severe drought threatening millions of people across the country.

Somalia’s government declared the drought a national disaster on Tuesday. The United Nations estimates that 5 million people in this Horn of Africa nation need aid, amid warnings of a fullblown famine.

Prime Minister Hassan

Ali Khaire spoke during a meeting with the Somali National Drought Committee. The death toll he announced is from the Bay region in the southwest part of the country alone.

Somalia was one of four regions singled out by the U.N. secretary-general last month in a $4.4 billion aid appeal to avert catastrophic hunger and famine, along with northeast Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen.

All are connected by a thread of violent conflict, the U.N. chief said.

The U.N. humanitarian coordinator, Stephen O’Brien, was expected to visit Somalia in the next few days.

Thousands have been streaming into Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, in search of food aid, over-

whelming local and international aid agencies. Over 7,000 internally displaced people checked into one feeding center recently.

The drought is the first crisis for Somalia’s newly elected Somali-American leader, President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed.

Previous droughts and a quarter-century of conflict, including ongoing attacks by extremist group al-Shabab, have left the country fragile. Mohamed has appealed to the international community and Somalia’s diaspora of 2 million people for help.

About 363,000 acutely malnourished children in Somalia “need urgent treatment and nutrition support, including 71,000 who are severely malnourished,” the U.S. Agency

for International Development’s Famine Early Warning Systems Network has warned.

Because of a lack of clean water in many areas, there is the additional threat of cholera and other diseases, U.N. experts say.

Some deaths from cholera already have been reported.

The government has said the widespread hunger “makes people vulnerable to exploitation, human rights abuses and to criminal and terrorist networks.”

The U.N. humanitarian appeal for 2017 for Somalia is $864 million to provide assistance to 3.9 million people. But the U.N. World Food Program recently requested an additional $26 million plan to respond to the drought.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Tensions flared between Ankara and Berlin on Friday over the cancellation of two Turkish Cabinet members’ rallies in Germany, and the ongoing detention in Turkey of a German newspaper reporter.

Delivering a speech in Istanbul, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan alleged the Die Welt newspaper journalist was both a German spy and a “representative” of the outlawed Kurdish rebel group, PKK. Erdogan lashed out at Germany and accused Berlin of harboring him for a month at the German Consulate in Istanbul before agreeing to hand him over to authorities.

“They need to be put on trial for aiding and abetting terrorism,” Erdogan said.

An upcoming referendum to increase the Turkish president’s powers has been another flash point. Earlier Friday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke out against Germany over the canceled rallies, saying forces within the German state were working to prevent Turkish leaders from campaigning there for a “yes” vote.

German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer responded that the federal government had nothing to do with the cancellations, and suggested Turkish officials voicing their irritation in the press was in “nobody’s interest” and simply “pouring oil onto the fire.”

The German and Turkish foreign ministers appeared

to tone down the rhetoric later in the day after a telephone conversation during which Cavusoglu relayed Turkey’s “unease” over the cancellation of the Turkish justice and economy ministers’ campaign programs, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said.

It said the two ministers agreed to meet on March 8 in Germany. Gabriel’s office called it a “constructive and engaged” conversation.

Erdogan however, re-escalated tensions hours later, saying Turkey would continue to criticize Germany.

“They are telling us, ‘Why are you whipping up the issue?’” Erdogan said.

“Just you wait, we have only just started. We are going to expose all that you have done in several international meetings.”

Germany’s Foreign Ministry, meanwhile, dismissed Erdogan’s claim that Yucel is a spy as “absurd.”

Relations already were strained between the two countries over Germany’s criticism of Erdogan’s crackdown following a failed coup as a flow of Turkish diplomats and soldiers sought asylum in Germany.

Germany has suggested it may not extradite suspects wanted by Turkey in cases it considers politically motivated, which has prompted Erdogan to accuse Germany of having “become a shelter” for terrorists and for having no regard for other countries’ national security issues.

The growing rift has potential security implications.

Germany has reconnaissance aircraft deployed at a NATO base in Turkey as part of the alliance’s fight against the Islamic State group.

NEW GLASSES help the LEGALLY BLIND SEE The latest version of the glasses, sells for about $10,000

B Y MICHAEL LIEDTKE Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jeff Regan was born with underdeveloped optic nerves and had spent most of his life in a blur. Then four years ago, he donned an unwieldy headset made by a Toronto company called eSight.

Suddenly, Regan could read a newspaper while eating breakfast and make out the faces of his co-workers from across the room. He’s been able to attend plays and watch what’s happening on stage, without having to guess why people around him were laughing.

“These glasses have made my life so much better,” said Regan, 48, a Canadian engineer who lives in London, Ontario.

The headsets from eSight transmit images from a forward-facing camera to small internal screens — one for each eye — in a way that beams the video into the wearer’s peripheral vision. That turns out to be all that some people with limited vision, even legal blindness, need to see things they never could before. That’s because many visual impairments degrade central vision while leaving peripheral vision largely intact.

Although eSight’s glasses won’t help people with total blindness, they could still be a huge deal for the millions of peoples whose vision is so impaired that it can’t be corrected with ordinary lenses.

EYE TEST But eSight still needs to clear a few minor hurdles.

Among them: proving the glasses are safe and effective for the legally blind. While eSight’s headsets don’t require the approval of health regulators — they fall into the same low-risk category as dental floss — there’s not yet firm evidence of their benefits. The company is funding clinical trials to provide that proof.

The headsets also carry an eye-popping price tag. The latest version of the glasses, released in mid-February, sells for about $10,000. While that’s $5,000 less than its predecessor, it’s still a lot for people who often have trouble getting high-paying jobs because they can’t see.

Insurers won’t cover the cost; they consider the glasses an “assistive” technology similar to hearing aids.

ESight CEO Brian Mech said the latest improvements might help insurers overcome their shortsighted view of his product. Mech argues that it would be more cost-effective for insurers to pay for the headsets, even in part, than to cover more expensive surgical procedures that may restore some sight to the visually impaired.

NEW GLASSES The latest version of ESight’s technology, built with investments of $32 million over the past decade, is a gadget that vaguely resembles the visor worn by the blind “Star Trek” character Geordi La Forge , played by LeVar Burton.

The third-generation model lets wearers magnify the video feed up to 24 times, com-

Eric Risberg / Associated Press

Yvonne Felix wears eSight electronic glasses and looks around Union Square during a visit to San Francisco on Thursday. pared to just 14 times in earlier models. There’s a hand control for adjusting brightness and contrast.

The new glasses also come with a more powerful high-definition camera.

ESight believes that about 200 million people worldwide with visual acuity of 20/70 to 20/1200 could be potential candidates for its glasses. That number includes people with a variety of disabling eye conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, ocular albinism, Stargardt’s disease, or, like Regan, optic nerve hypoplasia.

So far, though, the company has sold only about 1,000 headsets, despite the testimonials of wearers who’ve become true believers.

Take, for instance, Yvonne Felix, an artist who now works as an advocate for eSight after seeing the previously indistinguishable faces of her husband and two sons for the first time via its glasses. Others, ranging from kids to senior citizens, have worn the gadgets to golf, watch football or just perform daily tasks such as reading nutrition labels.

EYING THE COMPETITION ESight isn’t the only company focused on helping the legally blind. Other companies working

on high-tech glasses and related tools include Aira , Orcam , ThirdEye , NuEyes and Microsoft .

But most of them are doing something very different. While their approaches also involve cameras attached to glasses, they don’t magnify live video. Instead, they take still images, analyze them with image recognition software and then generate an automated voice that describes what the wearer is looking at — anything from a child to words written on a page.

Samuel Markowitz, a University of Toronto professor of ophthalmology, says that eSight’s glasses are the most versatile option for the legally blind currently available, as they can improve vision at near and far distances, plus everything in between.

Markowitz is one of the researchers from five universities and the Center for Retina and Macular Disease that recently completed a clinical trial of eSight’s second-generation glasses. Although the results won’t be released until later this year, Markowitz said the trials found little risk to the glasses.

The biggest hazard, he said, is the possibility of tripping and falling while walking with the glasses covering the eyes.

The device “is meant to be used while in a stationary situation, either sitting or standing, for looking around at the environment,” Markowitz said.

Extraordinary accidental disasters that I will never duplicate

H

ave you ever managed to do something so ridiculously impossible on accident that it would have taken you Olympic-focused training to accomplish on purpose?

Like, accidentally knocking your phone from the bathroom counter into the toilet with a freakish flick of the flatiron cord? Or laying your hand just so on the keyboard of your computer so that the display turns sideways, and now you have to Google with your head cranked crosswise in order to research how to reverse it? Or, as a joke, your kid hurls your shoe over their shoulder and into the backyard where it lands perfectly into a new pile of dog poo?

This doesn’t happen often in my life, but when it does the

Up in the Night SHAUNA BELKNAP HOLYOAK

results are never in my favor.

Any chance that the half-court basketball toss for a kagillion dollars lands in the actual hoop rather than the gym garbage can? Nope. Might possibly the quarters you drop in the car wash fall into the coin slot rather than plunk through the drain as if drawn by a magnet? Of course not!

Or maybe that recorded message you accidentally sent your ex is a stellar demonstra-

tion of your parenting skills rather than a grouchy tirade about him? NEVER! That last one happened, by the way, six days ago. And lest you think that’s not a feat as ridiculously impossible as I imply, let me tell you about my phone and my expertise in working it.

About a month ago I realized my smartphone had stopped dictating texts. Not only that, but Siri was no longer answering my questions when I called on her to tell me how to spell ‘rigmarole’ or explain the movie “Inception.”

After extensive Googling we discovered that my phone’s front microphone is no longer working. First of all, my phone has two microphones? And second of all, wouldn’t it be

super smart if a two-microphoned smartphone allowed the back microphone to compensate for a faulty front microphone?

In addition to all that, imagine that while your front microphone appears to be in charge of dictating texts, your back microphone seems to be in charge of recording them. What kind of crazy is that? Plus, I have never, nor do I now, know how to record a message in my texting app.

So imagine my surprise when I looked down at my phone to see that I had somehow sent my ex-husband, the father of my children, one of my driving tirades that just happened to be about him. In my defense, I was tired and grouchy and in my car, a safe place for upending

absentee opponents with my brilliant arguments. Of course my absentee opponents never hear them, unless, of course, I record them and accidentally hit send.

I couldn’t duplicate this act if I tried. But at least now my ex has heard my brilliant argument and feels soundly chastised, right?

Now that’s funny. Do we really think this extraordinary accidental disaster includes a happenstance recording of my best and brightest argument with my ex-husband?

Of course not.

TAKETWO When it comes to religion, keep asking, searching QUESTION: Are there people who, for whatever reasons, simply cannot take the leap of faith? I have taken a year-long Bible study course I loved; I have attended churches. I neither believe nor disbelieve in God, but agnosticism is not satisfying.

Atheism is, for me, absurd since it asserts what we cannot know, namely that God does not exist. I no longer attend church because I just do not feel what the faithful feel. Yet some of the “faithful” have told me that if I do not believe that I will be eternally damned, I do not accept that judgment either. So, back to my question: are some people congenitally incapable of receiving faith? — From M ANSWER: Yes, I think some people are not set up to be religious. For some this is because they believe religion is irrational and morally corrupt. I spend a lot of time in this column responding to people like them. These are the people who do not really understand the good stories in the news. Others want to believe but

God Squad RABBI MARC GELLMAN

they can’t. I do not spend enough time responding to people like you. They are the ones who do not really understand the bad stories in the news.

My best advice to you is to learn the word “yet.” Do not say, “I cannot take the leap of faith.” Rather say, “I cannot take the leap of faith ... yet.” You are clearly not through with God yet, and God is not through with you yet. Be patient and do not force the issue. The search for faith before you have leaped into it is very much like the search for love before you have fallen into it. I have officiated at the weddings of many brides and grooms who have waited and waited for years to find a soul mate to love. They doubted it would ever happen and then suddenly

without warning it did. Faith is about patience more than belief.

Remember that you are struggling with the greatest mysteries of human existence. Are we more than just material beings or do we also have a soul? Is goodness rewarded and evil punished? Are we alone in the cosmos? It is not possible to resolve these mysteries at one’s whim. I have often quoted the letter of the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke to a young poet: “I would like to beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them.

And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.

Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”

Sometimes, however, patience

is not enough. Some of us need grace — a special and unmerited touch by God — in order to make the leap of faith. God cannot touch us through grace (hesed in Hebrew) unless we are ready to be touched. This was the meaning of God’s words through the prophet Isaiah 55:6: “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.”

You will know when you have arrived at faith not when you believe things you cannot believe now but when you see things you cannot see now. My favorite modern man of faith, C.S. Lewis put it this way, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

I believe in you, dear M. I believe that you are closer to faith than you know and the reason for my confidence in you is the excellence and honesty and depth of your questions. It reminds me of a story from the Hasidic tradition in Judaism where Rabbis are

called Rebbes: “The Hasidic rebbe, Simcha Bunim, once went on a walk with his disciples. Along the way, he and his entourage encountered a group of Jews who were engaged in casual conversation. The Rebbe said to his disciples: “Do you see those Jews over there?

They’re dead.” The disciples were confused. Finally, one of them spoke up: “What do you mean, dead? They look perfectly alive to me.”

“They are dead,” the Rebbe said, “because they have stopped asking questions and searching for the right answers.” The Hasidim walked on, pondering his statement. Finally, one of the bolder disciples approached the Rebbe and asked: “Then how do I know that I am not dead?”

The Rebbe turned to him and answered: “Because you asked.”

Keep asking. Someday, with God’s grace, you will live your way into the answer.

CHUCK SHEPHERD

Suspicions confirmed Despite California’s 2015 law aimed at improving the fairness of its red-light cameras, the city of Fremont (pop. 214,000, just north of San Jose) reported earning an additional $190,000 more each month last year by shortening the yellow light by two-thirds of a second at just two intersections. Tickets went up 445 percent at one and 883 percent at the other.

(In November 2016, for “undisclosed reasons,” the city raised the speed limit on the street slightly, “allowing” it to reinstate the old 0.7-second-longer yellow light.)

Updates of previous characters Tammy Felbaum surfaced in News of the Weird in 2001 when she, originally Mr. Tommy Wyda, consensually castrated James Felbaum (her sixth husband), but he died of complications, resulting in Tammy’s manslaughter conviction. (Among the trial witnesses: a previous spouse, who had also let “expert” Tammy castrate him: “She could castrate a dog in less than five minutes.”) Felbaum, now 58, was arrested in February at the Westmoreland County (Pennsylvania) Courthouse after mouthing off at security guards searching her purse. She quipped sarcastically, “I have guns and an Uzi (and) a rocket launcher. I am going to shoot a judge today.” (She was in court on a dispute over installation of a sewer line to her trailer home.)

The persnickety trial judge had earlier determined that Florida’s notorious “Stand Your Ground” law did not apply, even though the husband admitted that he was threatening to rough up Alexander and that she never aimed the gun at him. (With that defense not allowed, Alexander was doomed under Florida’s similarly notorious 20-year mandatory sentence for aggravated assault using a gun.)

No Longer Weird Former postal worker Gary Collins, 53, of Forest City, North Carolina, pleaded guilty in February to having hoarded deliverable U.S. mail as far back as 2000. (He is far from the worst mail hoarder, by volume, that News of the Weird has mentioned.)

Atheist parents grieve daughter’s turn toward religion DEAR AMY: My husband and I raised two great kids. Our son is now 30 and our daughter 28.

Both of them finished college with high honors and with business degrees. They both got nice jobs in their professions.

We are atheists, but at 18 our daughter starting dating a pastor’s son. His family and church started grooming her with their beliefs, so she would fit nicely into their family belief system and eventually marry.

After going off to college, that relationship ended, and she got serious with another pastor’s son.

Again this fellow and his family groomed her to believe, get baptized, and go on mission trips to South American countries with the intent of her marrying into their family. Well, he dumped her. She quit her job, moved out west and joined an evangelical Christian group.

She pays them to live on their campus while they teach her

Ask Amy AMY DICKINSON about the Bible and Jesus. She raises funds for them by asking others for money to support her.

She has been leading this extreme religious life for three years now with no intention to quit and get a paying job. She has rejected our traditional life, and seldom visits.

Her professional clothes hang in our closets and her stuff is in the basement. Her medical care is paid for by the state since she lives under the poverty level.

We are very sad about her decisions. We worry for her safety and her future.

We grieve the loss of our beautiful daughter. We miss the way

our family used to be. Now we have nothing in common with her. Any suggestions on how to cope? — Atheist Mom and Dad DEAR MOM AND DAD: Some religious groups operate as more or less closed systems, and their adherents turn away from their previous lives in order to operate within the system. I can understand why this is such a loss for you.

You should keep the door open to a relationship with your daughter, regardless of where she is or what she believes. You are going to need to continue to grieve this loss, while accepting her choice and her freedom to make it. Continue to emotionally support her, while not supporting the group or cause.

Visit her. Don’t pressure her or force an ultimatum. Don’t dwell on the life and belief system she has rejected. Focus on your own acceptance, and make sure she knows you are always in her

corner, no matter what.

Research the group she is in and see if you can connect with ex-members or family members of current members. Communicating with other parents will help.

DEAR AMY: Our married son and his wife and their two daughters live in the same city as my husband and me. Our relationship with them is not warm, but cordial.

The daughter-in-law communicates with me by email, as we get together for birthdays (her family does the holidays without us, which we prefer).

When she emails me, she always addresses me: “Hello there,” never using my name, even though it is short and easy to write.

Do I ignore it, confront her, use “DIL” for daughter-in-law instead of her name?

Other suggestions? — My

Name Isn’t Hello DEAR HELLO: I am familiar with this “Hello There” salutation, and I agree that it is off-putting, certainly from a family member, because you are left sincerely wondering if the person knows your name. When I dealt with this exact situation, I responded, asking, “Could you do me a favor and use my name when you write to me? I’d prefer it.” This seemed to work, with no hard feelings (I hope). Your daughter-in-law might feel some awkwardness because she is not quite sure what to call you. If at some point you asked her to call you “Mom,” for instance, she might not feel comfortable, and this is her way of avoiding it. You should also model for her the behavior you would like to see. It might help to bring some warmth to what sounds like a chilly relationship.

BOOKS

‘Shining City’ by Rosenstiel an exciting politcal thriller B Y WILL LESTER Associated Press

“Shining City” (Ecco/HarperCollins), by Tom Rosenstiel Ex-Army investigator Peter Rena was in the Special Forces, but now he is a fixer at a consulting firm in Washington, D.C., “with a quiet and vaguely menacing quality about him.”

And he’s not your typical problem-solver in the nation’s capital but “the guy who comes in when PR won’t work.”

Rena and his partner Randi Brooks are pulled into a challenging new assignment from the president after the death of an aging liberal Supreme Court justice, who keels over on the golf course with a heart attack.

They get the difficult job of screening a potential judicial nominee to replace him, with the added pressure of making sure he gets confirmed.

The process of checking

out a potential Supreme Court nominee might not seem the stuff of political thrillers, but author Tom Rosenstiel goes about it by offering perceptive details of the complex process, a smart cast of political and media characters and timely shifting from one chapter — and location — to another. And running in a parallel plotline is a shadowy West Coast character with a taste for homicide.

How these two plotlines are related is a mystery through most of the book — and keeps the pages turning.

While Rena, pronounced rehn-nah as he occasionally reminds his clients, has a fascinating background, he leads a less than compelling life these days, recently divorced and childless. When not out working on assignments, he spends most of his time when at his Civil War-era home near Georgetown, “reading, working and, too often,

that could become a problem for a nominee to the high court.

Rosenstiel skillfully shifts from one scene to the next as he offers fascinating details of life in the capital and outlines many of the hurdles that must be navigated in an assignment like getting a Supreme Court nominee through the thicket of Washington.

And the two plotlines converge as the pace quickens and the story takes a chilling turn.

The author of “Shining City” is a veteran journalist and news media analyst who has written numerous nonfiction books about the intersection of media and politics. His experience in Washington helps create a very realistic, though often cynical, view of what Washington is like.

Perhaps the best measure of his first novel is that it will leave many readers eager to see what comes next for Peter Rena and friends.

Rena, who is Republican, and his partner Brooks, a liberal Democrat, have the job of helping a Democratic president get a federal judge from

northern California cleared to face the high hurdle of confirmation to the Supreme Court. The bipartisan nature of the RenaBrooks team is one of many Washington details that ring true because businesses here are often set up to appeal to those from either political party as long as they can pay the tab.

The team of Rena and Brooks track down Judge Roland Madison in his rustic home in a town near San Francisco, where he lives with his daughter Victoria, a tanned and athletic young lawyer, who soon develops an attraction for Rena.

As the book shifts from one plotline to the next, it soon becomes clear that the menacing West Coast killer has some interest in the activities of the judge and his daughter.

At the same time, Rena and his partner gradually piece together details of the judge’s background from earlier days

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President George W. Bush says he didn’t intend to criticize President Donald Trump when he said recently that a free press is essential to democracy Speaking by telephone Tuesday with The Associated Press, Bush said he was simply responding to a reporter’s question about the role of journalism. Trump has referred to the press as the “enemy of the people,” but Bush said that it’s important to hold those in power “to account,” adding that power can be “very corrupting” and that it was dangerous to “fall in love” with power or fame or money.

He called his own relationship with the media “symbiotic,” with the media needing a story and the president needing to get his message out.

“I understood people were trying to do their job,” he said. “There were moments when I (was) irritated and wanted to tell so-and-so that they missed a story. But I don’t look back and say, ‘This was a terrible part of my presidency.’ ” Bush, 70, is promoting his new book, “Portraits of Courage,” a volume of his paintings of military veterans. The book, officially published Tuesday and No. 1 on Amazon.com, arrives at a time when Bush — highly unpopular when he left office in 2009 — is enjoying

LM Otero / Associated Press

Former President George W Bush speaks during a preview of an exhibition of his paintings of U.S. military veterans in Dallas, on Feb. 28. favorable attention from both Democrats and Republicans for views on the media, immigration and Muslims that are far more moderate than those of Trump.

But the former president, who refrained from commenting on Democrat Barack Obama’s administration, said he intends to do the same with fellow Republican Trump.

“I understand people interpreting my remarks,” he says, “and that’s why I don’t give a lot of remarks.”

These days, he is happy to paint, and to talk about painting and the veterans he has befriended. As he wrote in the introduction to “Portraits of Courage,” he first thought

of taking up painting when the historian John Lewis Gaddis told him in 2012 about an essay by Winston Churchill called “Painting as a Pastime.” Bush, acknowledging that he does get “antsy,” figured painting would be something he “would benefit” from.

The book features 66 portraits and a four-panel mural of veterans he has come to know over the years, with each picture accompanied by a brief essay by Bush. “Portraits of Courage” is not political, although Bush notes one veteran’s story resonates with current events. Juan Carlos Hernandez, a former Army specialist who lost his leg while serving in Afghanistan, is a Mexican immigrant who illegally crossed the border but later became a U.S. citizen.

“Surely people will understand that if someone who is not a citizen is willing to serve our country, we would want to call that person a citizen,” he said Once he’s done doing interviews for “Portraits of Courage,” Bush said he looks forward to resuming a quiet post-presidential life. He said that his parents, former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush, are doing “remarkably well” after some recent health scares.

Barack and Michelle Obama have book deals NEW YORK (AP) — Barack and Michelle Obama have book deals.

The former president and first lady have signed with Penguin Random House, the publisher announced Tuesday. Financial terms were not disclosed for the books, which several publishers had competed for, although the deals are likely in the tens of millions of dollars.

Both Obamas have published through Crown, a Penguin Random House imprint. But Penguin Random House declined comment on which imprint or imprints the books would be released through.

“We are absolutely thrilled to continue our publishing partnership with President and Mrs. Obama,” Penguin Random House CEO Markus Dohle said in a statement.

“With their words and their leadership, they changed the world, and every day, with the books we publish at Penguin Random House, we strive to do the same. Now, we are very much looking forward to

working together with President and Mrs. Obama to make each of their books global publishing events of unprecedented scope and significance.”

The Obamas were represented in negoB. Obama tiations by Robert Barnett and Deneen Howell of Williams & Connolly. Barnett has worked on deals with Barack Obama’s two immediate predecessors, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and with Michelle M. Obama Obama’s predecessors Hillary Rodham Clinton and Laura Bush.

The Obamas plans to donate a “significant portion” of their author proceeds to charity, including to the Obama Foundation. Barack Obama’s book is a strong contender to attract the largest advance for any ex-presi-

dent; the previous record is believed to be $15 million for Bill Clinton’s “My Life.”

The unique dual arrangement announced Tuesday is for books that are among the most anticipated in memory from a former president and first lady. Barack Obama is widely regarded as one of the finest prose stylists among modern presidents, and his million-selling “Dreams from My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope” are considered essential to his rise to the White House. Michelle Obama has given few details about her time as first lady. Titles and release dates were not immediately available. The books will reflect on the Obamas’ White House years, although Penguin Random House declined to give further details. A publishing official with knowledge of the negotiations said that Barack Obama’s book will be a straightforward memoir about his presidency, while Michelle Obama plans to write an inspirational work for young people drawing on her life story.

TRAVEL

Dean Fosdick / Associated Press

Elephants, lions, antelope and leopards are photographed in Botswana’s Okavango Delta region. Specialized photo safaris provide wildlife and cultural access you’re not likely to get on your own.

What to look for when you’re booking a photo safari B Y DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press

Shopping for a wildlife safari is like taking a multiple-choice exam. You know the right answer is there on the page somewhere but they all seem so appealing.

Most safari operators guarantee face time with animals and birdlife but those assurances come with varying degrees of viewer comfort, species diversity and proximity.

Options range from the traditional group tours - people of all ages and interests sharing vehicles, lodging and meals - to customized luxury trips built around singles, couples, family groups or other self-selected combinations pursuing their own interests.

But when you add it all up, the best safaris for the money generally are those tailored primarily for photographers. Photo tours may be priced slightly higher than the traditional treks but then they provide more value.

Some aspects to consider: n Fewer travelers per group means you can go more places. When participation is limited to as few as a half-dozen people,

everyone has a window seat and an opportunity to find the right camera angle. More hands-on instruction is available from the expedition leaders, many of whom are professional photographers. n Photo tours move at a slower pace. Every person has a chance to get that cover photo for his or her album. n Operators of photo tours use different modes of transportation ranging from safari vehicles and dugout canoes to helicopters and small planes. That provides dramatic wildlife viewing no matter what the terrain. n Many photo tour outfitters provide camps in leased areas known for their unique wildlife abundance rather than simply supplying hotel rooms near nature preserves. Game drives originating from these private leaseholds mean less viewing congestion from other safari vehicles when animals are spotted. n Photo tours don’t operate on an 8 a.m.-to-5 p.m. schedule. They depart when lighting is at its best, the so-called “golden hours” of early morning and late afternoon. That also happens to be when

temperatures are more comfortable - a major consideration if traveling in Africa, India or the Galapagos Islands.

Another difference between traditional safaris and photo tours is group composition, said Court Whelan, director of Conservation Travel Programs for Natural Habitat Adventures, an ecotourism company in Boulder, Colorado.

“On a normal trip, it’s not as easy to initiate conversations about technical details but most people on photo trips are interested in elevating their photography,” he said. “They have different styles. Different eyes. It makes for good sharing.”

More people are choosing photo trips these days because equipment quality has improved and they can gather their own images rather than buy them, Whelan said.

“On a photo tour, if somebody wants that perfect lighting on a landscape, they’ll get it,” he said. “They’re not only chasing things down but they’re also waiting for things to come to them.”

Working with smaller groups is more rewarding for everyone because they can sit down together and

analyze their work, said Ona Basimane, a photojournalist who also serves as a Natural Habitat expedition leader in his native Botswana.

“In a photo trip, interpretation is more toward helping people anticipate the animal’s next move so they can always be ready to take a picture,” Basimane said. “So one gets the benefit of learning about behavior but also getting to take good images.”

The National Geographic Society, which has shaped its reputation in large part around worldclass photography, also offers world-class photo tours.

“The signature of National Geographic photo tours is that we’re more exploratory in nature, we emphasize cultural groups and we’re led by staff photographers,” said Molly Danner, a program director for the company’s Expeditions group.

“We provide organized photo shoots and the

kinds of access that people might not be able to get on their own,” Danner said. “Berbers in Morocco.

Masai villages in Africa.

Traditional festivals and camel fairs in India. Our trips are designed to maximize photo opportunities for people along the way.”

Photo tours usually aren’t a good fit for young children but they do accommodate people from all skill levels, Danner said. “We try to cater to people who have different kinds of goals and who want special access to traveling with National Geographic photogra-

phers.”

Having a professional photographer along can yield great results from the unexpected.

A colleague of Danner’s, for example, recently returned from a photo trek raving about how she had been able to get a great shot because the National Geographic photographer “stopped the bus for a scene he wanted to capture,” Danner said.

“He was able to offer a spontaneous opportunity along with some insights.

It became her favorite moment and the favorite picture from the trip.”

SMART LIVING

Lawyers sue Chinese authorities for smog B Y LOUISE WATT Associated Press

BEIJING — Lawyer Cheng Hai has an itemized list of compensation demands from Beijing authorities over the city’s smog: 65 yuan ($9) for having to buy face masks, 100 yuan ($15) for seeing a doctor for a sore throat and 9,999 yuan ($1,500) for emotional distress.

Fed up with what they consider halfhearted efforts to fight air pollution, Cheng and likeminded lawyers are putting China’s legal system to the test by suing the governments of the capital and its surrounding regions.

“Some people might think that air pollution is inevitable with economic development, but they are wrong,” said Cheng, 64. “We have laws to protect air quality, and major pollution can be avoided if they are fully enforced.”

The lawsuits demonstrate the mounting frustration of China’s middle class at the country’s notoriously bad air, a topic that is expected to be discussed at the upcoming annual meeting of the country’s parliament three years after Premier Li Keqiang declared a “war on pollution” at the same event.

The dissatisfaction comes even as authorities in the capital are closing factories, getting rid of coal-fired boilers and taking older, heavier-polluting vehicles off the road.

Official data show those measures are having some effect, with Beijing showing year-onyear improvements since 2013.

Yet the city’s average reading of the tiny particulate matter PM2.5 — considered a good gauge of air pollution — is still seven times what the World Health Organization considers safe.

“We are the victims of smog and we are entitled to ask for an apology and compensation from the government,” said another of the lawyers, Yu Wensheng, 50, from Beijing.

The suits, which accuse authorities of failing to deal effectively with the smog, are important to show that the gov-

ernment is not above the law, said Yu. “If the government is not restricted by law, then what else can restrict it?” said Yu, who has spent time in detention accused of supporting Hong Kong pro-democracy protests in 2014 and for speaking up in support of detained rights lawyers.

Along with Beijing, the group has attempted to sue the neighboring province of Hebei and the port city of Tianjin. The region generally suffers the worst pollution in China and forms a front line in the central government’s battle against the scourge.

The lawyers say their cases are more about drawing attention to government inaction rather than winning a settlement.

China is grappling with serious pollution resulting from three decades of breakneck growth that vastly improved living standards for many, but took a disastrous toll on the environment.

As people became more aware of the health issues associated with smog, the declaration of a “war on pollution” at the National People’s Congress in 2014 resulted in measures to reduce pollutants in the air, including capping coal consumption. However, a particularly heavy bout of smog at the beginning of this year still triggered pollution “red alerts” in more than 20 cities.

Beijing plans to spend $2.7 billion on fighting air pollution this year, part of which would be used to close or upgrade more than 3,000 polluting factories, replace the use of coal with clean energy on the outskirts of the city and phase out 300,000 high-polluting older vehicles, according to the city’s acting mayor, Cai Qi. Despite efforts to enlist the public in the anti-pollution struggle, China’s authoritarian Communist government heavily discourages protests and other forms of independent action, and at least one of the initial five lawyers in the case appears to have withdrawn his lawsuit under pressure from local authorities.

Commuters, some wearing masks, walk to a subway station during the evening rush hour in Beijing on Feb. 21. The city’s average reading of the tiny particulate matter PM2.5 — considered a good gauge of air pollution — is seven times what the World Health Organization considers safe. A group of Chinese lawyers is suing the governments of Beijing and its surrounding areas for not doing enough to get rid of the smog.

The Beijing press office said the government hadn’t received any notices about the lawsuits and was unable to comment.

The governments of Hebei and Tianjin didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection has been sending out inspection teams to check on how well local governments are implementing smog control measures. On Monday, it announced that the lists of companies that have to halt production during periods of heavy pollution drawn up by three lower-level governments under Beijing and Hebei included companies that were already no longer operating.

A Beijing court has already twice rejected attempts by the lawyers to file cases, while a court in Hebei province’s capital, Shijiazhuang, has yet to respond to a case filed more than two

months ago. Similar attempts to file suits in previous years have also been derailed, and while a change in the law has allowed some environmental NGOs to bring cases against polluters since 2015, they are discouraged to do so by the high costs of investigating and proving environmental damage, and potential threats and harassment from those they’re suing.

Wang Canfa, the director of a center that helps people bring lawsuits relating to pollution, said it would be difficult for the plaintiffs to establish a link between the governments’ actions and the harm they have suffered.

“In this circumstance, the governments are not the ones that inflict harm, rather it is the companies that discharge emissions, and individuals who drive cars, who are the polluters,” said Wang, who teaches at the China

University of Political Science and Law. Still, the lawyers appear to feel it’s worth the risks and frustrations to make their point.

Another of them, Lu Tingge, who filed the Hebei case, said his mother suffers respiratory illnesses and the pollution makes it difficult for her to breathe.

He’s asking for 10 yuan ($1.50) in compensation for masks, 5,000 yuan ($730) for “spiritual damage” and an official apology for the harm to his life and work.

“I know my chances of winning are small,” said Lu, 47.

“But I just want to make people understand that the government bears the main responsibility for dealing with smog and air pollution.”

ASTRO-GRAPH

By Bernice Bede Osol

Sunday, March 5, 2017

fying rewards. Personal and physical improvements will turn out well.

Don’t rely on others to give you good advice. Stay focused on what you want to do to improve your life. Appearances will count and are best presented with honesty and integrity. You’ll face problems if you don’t abide by the rules. Be direct and avoid delays.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Stick close to home and work on becoming a better person. Don’t feel that you have to please everyone else when you’re the one who needs to be satisfied with your actions.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- False information will lead you in the wrong direction. If you cannot verify certain claims, take a pass. Put more emphasis on personal growth and physical improvements.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Share details of the past and build memories with someone you think is special. Acknowledging the little things someone does for you will bring you closer together. Personal growth will be empowering.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Get together with old friends. Catching up on the latest news will lead to a new beginning with someone you lost touch with. Plan a reunion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The past will have a way of surfacing when you least expect it. Consider what’s occurred before you decide to get involved in something that could cause emotional turmoil.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Emotional manipulation will be costly. Don’t ruin your reputation or give out information that might be used against you. Stay focused on using physical means to bring about personal gains.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Look at a situation from every angle.

Unless you have a clear picture, you are best off biding your time and waiting for your doubts to be eliminated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Love conquers all. Whether it’s a friend, relative or new acquaintance, taking time to help someone will result in grati-

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An investment will limit your cash flow.

Don’t take on more than you can handle. Do your best to create an honest, open and loving relationship with someone you trust.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -Emotional manipulation will surface if you discuss problems with a friend or relative. Don’t feel compelled to accept someone’s terms if you don’t agree with them. Follow your heart and make changes that suit you.

SUNDAY

HOW TO PLAY: Sudoku Triples is a puzzle consisting of three regular Sudoku grids, sharing one set of 3-by-3 boxes. Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9. The numbers in the set of 3-by-3 boxes, which are shared by all three of the Triples, are filled in identically for all three of the individual Sudokus.

Therefore, finding a number in the shared set of 3-by3 numbers from one of the Triples advances the other Sudokus as well.

THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME

By Bernice Bede Osol

Carefully choose your course of action and where you put your time and effort this year. Aim to make things better and more assessable, without adding to your stress, debt or responsibilities. Let your instincts and intelligence help you weed out negativity or people who are weighing you down.

You don’t want to be beholden to any-

Voice your opinion and make a difference.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Communicate and get your point across in order to forge a clear path to victory.

Partnerships will need adjustments, but once boundaries are set, the sky is the limit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You’ll learn more if you step back and watch what others do. Engage in collaborative discussions to get a better sense of what’s expected of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’ll be disappointed if you rely on someone to help you. Set your goals and work diligently on your own if you want to receive the recognition you deserve.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Express your feelings and use your imagination to come up with new ideas and fun things to do. Partnerships will depend on both your generosity and your moderation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Look inward and size up your personal and professional situations. Consider your options and prepare to make a move that will add to your financial security as well as ease your stress.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Move forward passionately and with the intent to make progress. Use your connections and your physical drive and courage to find success. Romance is highlighted.
