In the news Borough extends school district employee contract The Kenai Peninsula Borough and the employee union have negotiated a one-year extension of the current collective bargaining agreement for the period of July 1 to June 30, 2020.

Changes to the agreement include a .5 percent increase of base pay, which will be effective after July 1 this year.

“With this bargaining agreement, the health care will remain the same with no increases to the employee’s contribution and no increases to deductibles,” Brent Hibbert said at Tuesday’s borough meeting. “The benefits will remain the same.”

Sullivan speaks at Capitol Senator to introduce legislation that would help victims of sexual assault

By MOLLIE BARNES Juneau Empire

Alaska’s junior senator will attempt to bring a statewide initiative from Alaska to the national level.

Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan spoke to the Alaska legislature on Thursday in his annual address, in which he mentioned his plan to introduce bills in Congress that would reinvigorate the “Choose Respect” public awareness campaign addressing sexual assault.

The initiative was started during former Gov. Sean Parnell’s administration when Sullivan worked as attorney general.

“Working together with

all of you, with members of both parties…we need to re-energize our efforts to tackle this issue,” Sullivan said in his address.

One of the main things this campaign would do at a federal level is introduce a bill that would entitle victims of sexual assault

to legal representation.

Currently, the constitution entitles anyone accused of a crime to legal representation. His bill would entitle victims that same right, through statute rather than constitutionally.

That way if someone was charged with criminal sexual abuse, both the accuser and accused would receive representation.

“One of the best ways to help survivors of assault break the cycle is to get a lawyer. Then they’re empowered to say, get a protective order or boot the guy out of the house,” Sullivan said in an interview with the Empire.

He said when he was attorney general of Alaska,

Local representatives from FEMA have set up shop at the Nikiski Community Recreation Center to help residents register for disaster relief.

Many people across Alaska are still feeling the effects of the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck Southcentral Alaska on Nov. 30, 2018, so FEMA has sent a Disaster Survivor Assistance Team down to Nikiski for two weeks to guide people through applying for aid and filling out all the necessary forms.

Within a week of the initial quake more than 2,500 individual requests to FEMA had been submitted, but more Alaskans could still be in need of assistance, and some have chosen to delay registering for relief until after the spring thaw.

Howard Higgins with FEMA said that he and his team would be in Nikiski to answer any questions people might have about the application and registration processes. Higgins said that they can look up individual cases to let people know what their next step in the process is and to identify and correct any errors they may have made while filling out the forms themselves. Higgins can also assist in registering with Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, which

WOW snowmachine ride celebrates 15th year It’s always a good day to be playing in the Caribou Hills, particularly when it helps raise funds for cancer patients.

This weekend marks the 15th consecutive year for the Way Out Women (WOW) ride in the Caribou Hills, a charity snowmachine event that raises funds for cancer patients on the Kenai Peninsula.

Starting from Freddie’s Roadhouse, located at Mile 16 of Oil Well Road near Ninilchik, the ride will take snowmachiners approximately 50 miles around the scenic hills of the Kenai Peninsula, and WOW founder Kathy Lopeman expects this year’s ride to raise more than $120,000 in funds that will go directly to cancer patients.

Assembly OKs funds for ACLU bill

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

A lawsuit between Kenai Peninsula Borough and the American Civil Liberties Union is finally over after the assembly approved on

Tuesday appropriations of $70,400 to pay toward the balance of ACLU-Alaska’s legal fees. The borough has now spent $120,400 defending the Hunt et al. lawsuit, and at least $134,000 in legal and other fees relat-

ed to the invocation policy, according to Homer News.

The borough received a bill of $80,000 in attorneys’ fees after the borough failed to defend its former invocation policy.

At Tuesday’s borough

assembly meeting, Greg Andersen of Kenai spoke to the assembly in his public comment, saying that the invocation saga was finally over.

“A bill has been received for ACLU’s lawyer fees

and the invocation saga can finally be closed,” Andersen said. “Over $165,000 in taxpayer money was spent and countless hours wasted.”

Andersen said he hoped See ACLU, page A2

Kenai approves animal control ordinance

By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

The city of Kenai hopes to address animal control concerns with a new ordinance approved at Wednesday’s Kenai City Council meeting.

The ordinance requires

that animal owners who violate control and treatment of animal ordinances three times within a 12-month period have a mandatory arraignment before a judge. Currently, owners are just required to pay a fine.

“We feel that if you’ve

been cited three times and you’re not doing anything to change the behavior, we need to take an additional step,” said City Attorney Scott Bloom. “That additional step is to make the person go to an arraignment before a judge.

Oftentimes, the judge will

talk to people and sometimes they will listen to the judges more than they’ll listen to animal control officers.”

The ordinance also clarifies the definition of a “vicious animal” as an animal that has done unreasonable harm to a human or another animal in

a hostile manner or has been found to be a dangerous animal by the court twice. A dangerous animal is defined as an animal who has done harm to somebody, whether it was in a playful or hostile manner.

Bloom said the clarification is See KENAI, page A3

Gov. proposes redirecting money Troopers looking for from fishing communities to state suspect in car theft

By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire

The governor is proposing taking fishing tax money from municipalities and directing it to the state to help balance his budget.

Senate Bill 63, backed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy, would repeal a revenue sharing provision that is written into the state’s fisheries business tax.

Should the bill pass, the state coffers would gain an additional $29.1 million in 2020, according to a fiscal note attached to the bill.

Every year, 50 percent of the fisheries business tax revenue is distributed to Alaska’s fishing communities.

The amount each community receives hinges on the how much fish was taxed in that community. If SB 63 passes,

the revenue sharing program would end. It is one of many bills that are being proposed to change Alaska statutes so that Dunleavy’s budget proposal is feasible.

The City and Borough of Juneau receives about $400,000 annually as part of this fisheries tax revenue sharing program, according to CBJ Finance Director Bob

Alaska State Troopers are currently searching for a man suspected of stealing a woman’s 1998 Ford Expedition, according to an affidavit filed at the Kenai courthouse on Feb. 20.

Bryon Polkoski, 32, allegedly stole a woman’s car

after agreeing to fix it for her. On Feb. 18, the woman reported her car stolen to troopers only to discover it had already been towed and taken to a location in Sterling. According to the affidavit, she had discovered her car was missing on the morning of Feb. 11 and believed that Polkoski had See CAR, page A3

The former invocation policy was challenged after Lance Hunt, an atheist, Iris Fontana, a member of the Satanic Temple, and Elise Boyer, a member of Homer’s Jewish community, were denied the chance to provide an invocation because they did not belong to an official organization with an established presence on the peninsula, which was a requirement of the former policy.

ACLU-Alaska helped the plaintiffs file a suit against the borough, citing that the invocation policy violated

the establishment clause, free speech clause and equal protection clause of the Alaska Constitution. In October 2018, Anchorage Superior Court Judge Andrew Peterson ruled that the former policy violated the state’s establishment clause, which bans the government from establishing an official religion or favoring religious beliefs.

In January 2017, the assembly appropriated $50,000 to defend the former policy.

According to the Homer News, the borough entered into a contract with the Alli-

ance Defending Freedom — A Scottsdale, Arizona, based religious rights organization — to defend themselves in the Hunt et al. lawsuit.

The borough narrowly voted to not appeal the court ruling, and a new inclusive policy was established late last year, which allows anyone to provide invocations before borough meetings.

This year, invocations have been offered from a variety of people, including a Wiccan who invoked ancestors, and a yoga teacher who led the assembly through a series of breathing exercises.

Lopeman founded the event 15 years ago while working as an oncology nurse at Central Peninsula Hospital. While sitting around a campfire with a friend, Lopeman was pondering the issue of those who suffer from cancer who ultimately struggle to pay monthly bills and feed a family.

“We were figuring out how to help the people that fall through the cracks,” she said.

Lopeman’s idea was to dole out a grant of $1,000 to cancer patients to help ease the burden of daily expenditures.

Lopeman’s idea of combining the community’s passion for snowmachining with charity has since

earned her the nickname of “the WOW lady” in the community, and she couldn’t be happier about it.

“It’s a community-wide event,” she said. “And every cent goes to people — there’s no administration cost or anything.”

This year’s WOW ride has a $100 entry fee that comes with a shirt and a goody bag, and the festivities will encompass three days at Freddie’s Roadhouse. Friday begins with two auctions to start the fundraising efforts — an outcry auction that will feature a few items Friday night before finishing up Saturday afternoon, then a silent auction that will wrap up Friday.

Lopeman said a chili feed

that begins at 5:30 p.m. will give riders a chance to view the silent auction items. The night will be capped off by a live performance by musician Mika Day from 7 to 10 p.m.

Saturday morning begins with breakfast at 9 a.m. with food from the Moose is Loose Bakery. Lopeman said the ride will take off shortly after that, and costumes are encouraged with a theme of “Anything Goes,” which will be voted on for most creative.

Following the ride, Lopeman said the crew will return for dinner and to finish the outcry auction Saturday night.

The weekend wraps up Sunday with drag races beginning at 11 a.m.

would develop a pilot program that would allow protective orders to be served electronically. Many times, it is hard to deliver protective orders, since they have to be served in person. This initiative would make sure those orders actually do what they were intended to do, instead of allowing abusers to circumvent the law by dodging papers serving them the order.

Sullivan told a story during his speech about a young girl who called into school one day to say she couldn’t come in because she had been sexually assaulted the night before.

“I knew that sexual abuse was a huge problem in the state, but there was something in that story that broke my heart,” Sullivan said, tearing up and pausing for a moment, “and steeled my resolve to work on this issue.”

Other elements of his initiative include a national public awareness campaign that would establish Oct. 1 as “Choose Respect Day,” and direct the Department of Justice Office of Violence Against Women to oversee a media campaign.

He said he can’t name other senators who are working on the bills with him yet, as

they are still finalizing the legislation, but the group includes Democrats and Republicans.

“We have many social problems in our state, but I count domestic violence and sexual abuse to be the most pernicious,” he said in his speech, citing statistics that a quarter of Alaska’s population has experienced sexual abuse. “It saps our creative energy, and it leaves deep, permanent scars across generations. We have such tremendous potential as a state, but we simply cannot realize it if we don’t stop this — if the men of Alaska don’t stop this.”

What Others Say

Bring on the hearings Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe says Justice Department officials discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to suspend President Donald Trump’s power early in his presidency. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a key Trump defender, has vowed to investigate, calling it an attempted “administrative coup.”

That’s a reckless allegation. The 25th Amendment is there to address presidential instability, something strongly suggested by Trump’s behavior during his two years in office. The latest example came Sunday, when Trump opined on Twitter that there should be some kind of federal response to a “Saturday Night Live” skit he didn’t like.

If Graham wants to investigate these alleged 25th Amendment discussions, great — as long as those hearings also look at the mounting evidence that Trump may, in fact, be mentally unstable.

In May 2017, Trump fired FBI Director James Comey over the agency’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election (as Trump himself admitted on national television afterward). As McCabe said on “60 Minutes” on Sunday, Comey’s firing made FBI officials consider for the first time whether the president might be compromised in some way.

McCabe says Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein raised the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment, under which the vice president and Cabinet can suspend a president’s authority if he is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office” due to physical or mental incapacitation.

Rosenstein, McCabe said, “was definitely very concerned about the president, about his capacity.”

As well he should have been. But the discussions apparently never went past the spit-balling stage.

McCabe was fired in March, hours before he was to retire with pension, ostensibly over a disputed allegation that he lied about press leaks.

The move to deny McCabe his pension spotlighted Trump’s well-known vindictiveness, but also makes it fair to examine McCabe’s motives now in telling this story. As does the fact that he’s currently marketing a book.

But none of that negates Trump’s multiple, glaring signs of instability, including: his Twitter rants — like Sunday’s “SNL” diatribe — against even the mildest criticism from any source; his disjointed speeches, like last week’s Rose Garden labyrinth of immigration paranoia; his seeming inability to understand that the Russian government is not a source from which he should accept intelligence information that contradicts what U.S. intelligence professionals tell him.

For more than two years, Trump has appeared to be America’s most prodigious presidential liar.

But what if the truth is that this president has literally lost the ability to distinguish reality from fantasy? It’s something to consider next time Trump gamely insists that construction of his border wall is well underway when, in fact, it isn’t.

So by all means, Graham should bring on the hearings — provided they address not just whether the 25th Amendment discussions happened but whether they were, perhaps, justified.

— St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Feb. 18

Letter to the Editor Proud of Knopp’s free thinking We should be proud of Rep. Gary Knopp on demonstrating his ability to think freely on issues being addressed in Juneau. Such an ability is certainly an indication of a higher-order thinking which is so rare in today’s politics — whether statewide or, worse yet, on a national level.

Unfortunately, the dictators who manage the Re-

publican Party expect their followers to behave like mindless drones acting out their demands.

We should all encourage Mr. Knopp to persevere and make him aware that there are many who appreciate his ability think for himself and do best for Alaskans.

The unbearable whiteness of Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders catalyzed the Democratic Party’s post-Barack Obama move to the left, and if he were elected president in 2020, it would represent a truly historic swing in the country’s orientation.

Yet among the flaws on Bernie’s resume for many progressives is an unalterable one — he is a white male, and an old one without a cute Spanish nickname. The straight, cisgendered Sanders is burdened by his utter lack of intersectionality, unless being a Vermont senator from Brooklyn counts. In his announcement interview on Vermont Public Radio, he was pushed on how he can lead a diverse Democratic Party. Sanders cited the famous Martin Luther King Jr. quote about judging people by the content of their character and replied: “We have got to look at candidates, you know, not by the color of their skin, not by their sexual orientation or their gender and not by their age. I mean, I think we have got to try to move us toward a nondiscriminatory society which looks at people based on their abilities, based on what they stand for.”

For expressing a sentiment that would have been considered jejune just a few years ago, Sanders was roundly denounced. Neera Tanden of the Center for American Progress thundered, “At a time where folks feel under attack because of who they are, saying race or gender or sexual orientation or identity doesn’t matter is not off, it’s simply wrong.”

Former Hillary Clinton aide Jess McIntosh added, “This is usually an argument made by people who don’t

enjoy outsized respect and credibility because of their race, gender, age and sexual orientation.”

Stephen Colbert snarked, “Yes, like Dr. King, I have a Rich Lowry dream — a dream where this diverse nation can come together and be led by an old white guy.”

But what Sanders is getting at here should be completely uncontroversial.

Of course it is important that we look beyond the demographic characteristics of candidates, to their views and their merits. Do we want to live in a society where no one can represent people different from them? By this logic, given a choice between South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and Bernie Sanders for president, progressives would want all African-Americans to vote for the black Republican (of course, in that scenario many progressives would pronounce Scott “not really black”).

Bobby Kennedy, lionized for his unifying campaigning, would be retroactively deemed just another straight white male.

In effect, we would become a society of Shiites and Sunnis, conducting a census every election cycle by automatically voting for our own. Anyone who looks at, say, Steve Forbes and Bernie Sanders and thinks, “Oh, just a couple of white guys” is disregarding every political and philosophical

difference in favor of a racialist reductionism.

In a recent interview with GQ, Sanders described his vision as bringing together “a coalition of people — of black and white and Latino and Asian-American and Native American — around a progressive agenda which is prepared to take on an extraordinarily powerful ruling class in this country.”

Once upon a time, this would have been considered an inclusive view. Today, though, Bernie is not race- and sex-obsessed enough for the identitypolitics hall monitors of the Democratic Party.

At bottom, Sanders is an old-school socialist who attributes primacy to a class struggle that crosses racial boundaries, rather than to race as such.

A starker version of his worldview can be seen in Adolph Reed, the University of Pennsylvania professor who complains, as he put it in an interview last year, “Any claim or proposal concerning durable patterns of economic inequality is now taken as being tantamount to making excuses for white supremacy.”

If Sanders ever said anything like that, he’d have to drop out of the campaign the next day. It’s an odd turn of events when unreconstructed socialists are, in at least this one respect, more broad-minded than the Democratic Party. But it’s true, and Bernie will have trouble living it down.

Trump ally Stone gets gag order

By MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A federal judge issued a broad gag order forbidding Roger Stone to discuss his criminal case with anyone and gave him a stinging reprimand Thursday over the longtime Trump confidant’s posting of a photo of the judge with what appeared to be crosshairs of a gun.

She promised to throw him behind bars if he violates the court order in any way.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that it would be “foolhardy” for her not to take any action over the Instagram post and that Stone would “pose a danger” to others in the case if the conditions of his release weren’t modified to include a gag order.

“Roger Stone fully understands the power of words and the power of symbols and there’s nothing ambiguous about crosshairs,” the judge said. “How hard was it to come up with a photo that didn’t have a crosshairs in the corner?” she quipped at one point.

Stone has pleaded not guilty to charges he lied to Congress, engaged in witness tampering and obstructed a congressional investigation into possible coordination between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. The charges stem from conversations he had during the campaign about WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy group that released material stolen from Democratic groups, including Hillary Clinton’s

campaign.

The political operative and self-described dirty trickster is the sixth Trump aide or adviser charged in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. He was arrested last month and has remained free on a $250,000 personal recognizance bond. Stone has maintained his innocence and blasted the special counsel’s investigation as politically motivated.

During Thursday’s tense and animated hearing in federal court in Washington, Stone took the witness stand to try to explain his Instagram post and apologize to the judge, repeatedly telling her he had made an egregious and inexcusable mistake.

“Thank you, but the apology rings quite hollow,” she shot back before instituting the gag order.

The judge said she doubted Stone had learned his lesson and it was clear he needed “clear boundaries” about what he can and can’t say to prevent potential jurors from being prejudiced.

She said she was not reassured by “the defense suggestion that Mr. Stone is all talk and no action and this is all a big mistake.”

Jackson told Stone that he made “deliberate choices” to post the photo of her and created a very real risk.

“No, Mr. Stone, I am not giving you another chance,” she said.

The 66-year-old Stone said the image had been selected by a volunteer who was working for him, though he couldn’t say who picked the photo or list the five or six volunteers who have been working

for him when he was asked by prosecutors.

He said he had several photos to choose from and posted the image himself to his profile.

“You had a choice?” the judge interjected.

Stone said he picked the photo “randomly,” a suggestion the judge almost immediately dismissed.

“It was an egregious mistake. I obviously wish I could do it over again, but I cannot,” Stone said. “I recognize I let the court down, I let you down, I let myself down. … It was a momentary lapse in judgment.”

He has said the photo was “misinterpreted,” the symbol was actually the Celtic cross, not crosshairs of a gun, and he was not trying to threaten the judge.

Last week, Judge Jackson had implemented a limited order that prevented Stone from discussing his case near the courthouse and generally prohibited his lawyers, prosecutors and witnesses from making public comments that could “pose a substantial likelihood” of prejudicing potential jurors. But that order stopped short of imposing a broad ban on public comments, as Thursday’s order does.

After Stone posted and then deleted the photo on Instagram, the judge ordered him to return to Washington and appear in court for Thursday’s hearing.

He and his lawyers filed a notice with the court that said they recognized the photo was “improper and should not have been posted.”

Actor gave detailed instructions for fake attack

This Feb. 21, 2019 photo released by the Chicago Police Department shows Jussie Smollett. (Chicago Police Department via AP)

By DON BABWIN Associated Press

CHICAGO — “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett gave detailed instructions to two brothers who helped him stage a racist, anti-gay attack on himself, including giving them specific slurs to yell, telling them to shout “MAGA country” and pointing out a surveillance camera that he thought would record the beating, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Police said Smollett planned the hoax because he was unhappy with his

salary and wanted to promote his career. Before the attack, he also sent a letter that threatened him to the Chicago studio where “Empire” is shot, police said.

Smollett, who is black and gay, turned himself in to face accusations that he filed a false police report last month when he told authorities he was attacked in downtown Chicago by two masked men who hurled racist and anti-gay slurs and looped a rope around his neck, police said.

The actor “took advantage of the pain and anger

of racism to promote his career,” police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said.

“This publicity stunt was a scar that Chicago didn’t earn and certainly didn’t deserve,” he added.

As part of the instructions, Smollett also told the brothers to put the rope around his neck, Assistant State’s Attorney Risa Lanier told a news conference.

His plans for the surveillance camera were thwarted. Police say it was pointed another way and did not have a view of the beating.

At Smollett’s first court appearance, a judge set bond at $100,000, meaning that he had to post $10,000 to be released. Smollett’s attorneys asked for him to be freed on his own recognizance, but the judge, who is also black, rejected that idea and said he was particularly bothered by the allegations involving the noose.

Smollett, who was released a couple of hours after the hearing, said little during the proceedings, except to state his name. The actor, his attorneys and supporters left without speaking to reporters.

One of the attorneys,

Jack Prior, told the judge that Smollett “maintains these are outrageous allegations” and denies they are true.

The FBI has been investigating the threatening letter. Johnson would not say whether Smollett could face additional charges for that.

The companies that make “Empire,” Fox Entertainment and 20th Century Fox Television, issued a statement Thursday saying that they were “evaluating the situation” and “considering our options.”

In less than a month, Smollett went from being the seemingly sympathetic victim of a hate crime to being accused of fabricating the entire thing. The 36-year-old was charged Wednesday with felony disorderly conduct, a charge that could bring up to three years in prison and force the actor to pay for the cost of the investigation into his report of a Jan. 29 beating.

Police treated Smollett as a victim until the two brothers , who had been taken into custody for questioning, admitted to helping him stage the attack, Johnson said.

New election ordered in disputed North Carolina House race

By EMERY P. DALESIO Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina’s elections board Thursday ordered a new election in the nation’s last undecided congressional race after the Republican candidate conceded his lead was tainted by evidence of ballot-tampering by political operatives working for him.

The State Board of Elections voted 5-0 in favor of a do-over in the mostly rural 9th Congressional District but did not immediately set a date.

In moving to order a new election, board chairman Bob Cordle cited “the corruption, the absolute mess with the absentee ballots.”

“Today was a great step forward for democracy in North Carolina,” the Democrat in the race, Dan McCready, tweeted afterward.

He said the voters deserved justice “from the moment the first voice was silenced by election fraud.”

The vote came after GOP candidate Mark Harris, in a surprising turn, dropped his bid to be declared the winner and instead called for a new election. He reversed course on the fourth day of an election board hearing at which

investigators and witnesses detailed evidence of ballot fraud by operatives on his payroll.

“Through the testimony I’ve listened to over the past three days, I believe a new election should be called,” Harris said. “It’s become clear to me that the public’s confidence in the 9th District seat general election has been undermined to an extent that a new election is warranted.”

At the same time, Harris denied any knowledge of the illegal practices allegedly used by his operatives.

Harris left the hearing

room without answering questions. It was not immediately clear whether he intends to run in a new election.

The decision Thursday could leave the seat empty for months. The elections board’s attorney plans to review the laws on scheduling new primaries and a new general election and propose dates to the elections board for its approval.

Harris led McCready by 905 votes out of about 280,000 cast last fall in a district that includes part of Charlotte and extends eastward through several coun-

ties along the southern edge of the state. But the state refused to certify the outcome as allegations surfaced that Harris political operative Leslie McCrae Dowless may have tampered with mail-in absentee ballots.

According to testimony and other findings detailed at the board hearing, Dowless conducted an illegal “ballot harvesting” operation while working for Harris. Dowless and his assistants helped voters obtain absentee ballots and then gathered up the filled-in ballots from them by offering to put them in the mail, the board was told.

Dowless’ workers in rural Bladen County testified that they were directed to collect blank or incomplete ballots from voters, forge signatures on them and even fill in votes for local candidates. It is generally against the law in North Carolina for anyone other than the voter or a family member to handle someone’s completed ballot.

Harris told the board that he is still dealing from health problems caused by a blood infection that landed him in a hospital and led to two strokes since the election, adding, “I struggled this morning with both recall and confusion.”

Fire guts oldest part of Bangladeshi capital, killing dozens

By JULHAS ALAM Associated Press

DHAKA, Bangladesh — In the day since a devastating fire erupted in the oldest part of Bangladesh’s capital, Awal Hossain has been searching for his younger brother.

Hossain stood outside the Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Thursday evening along with others holding pictures of family members missing after the blaze. Others brought relatives out of the morgue in coffins.

“The body of his acquaintance has been found, but I can’t find him,” Hossain said.

The fire raced through densely packed buildings in a centuries-old district of Dhaka, killing at least 67 people, officials and witnesses said Thursday.

The fire in the Chawkbazar area was mostly under control after more than 10 hours of frantic firefighting efforts. About 50 people were injured, with some critically burned.

The district dating to the Mughal era is crammed with buildings separated by narrow alleys, with

residences commonly above shops, restaurants or warehouses on the ground floors. Denizens of the Muslim-majority nation throng to Chawkbazar each year for traditional goods to celebrate iftar, when the daily fast is broken during Ramadan.

“I was talking to a customer, suddenly he shouted at me, ‘Fire! Fire!’” said Javed Hossain, a survivor who came to assess the damage to his grocery store Thursday afternoon.

“I said ‘Oh, Allah,’ in a fraction of a second the fire caught my shop.”

Hossain’s brother took his hand and they leaped onto the street before the shop was engulfed in flames.

Outside the gutted store, the road was strewn with charred vehicles, pieces of still-burning metal and plastics and hundreds of cans of body deodorant.

The blaze started late Wednesday night in one building and quickly spread to others, fire department Director General Brig. Gen. Ali Ahmed said.

Many of the victims were trapped inside the

buildings, said Mahfuz Riben, a control room official for the Fire Service and Civil Defense in Dhaka.

“Our teams are working there but many of the recovered bodies are beyond recognition. Our people are using body bags to send them to the hospital morgue, this is a very difficult situation,” he told The Associated Press.

Fire officials initially said 81 bodies had been recovered, but later lowered the number to 67.

Russel Shikder, a fire department duty officer, said first responders had counted each body bag taken to the morgue as one

victim, but that some bags contained only body parts, prompting a recount.

Shikder said there was “no more confusion” about the tally.

First responders were delayed in reaching the site in part because nearby roads were closed for national holiday commemorations on Thursday. Just after midnight as the fire burned, Bangladesh’s prime minister and president laid wreaths at a monument less than a mile (1.3 kilometers) away to commemorate protesters who died in a 1952 demonstration for the right to speak Bengali, the local language.

Venezuela’s Maduro closes Brazil border to block aid entry CARACAS, Venezuela — As a showdown looms over humanitarian aid destined for Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro closed off his country’s border with Brazil, vowing on Thursday to block the emergency food and medicine that has rallied his opponents and which he claims is part of a U.S.-led coup plot.

Amid the mounting tensions, opposition leader Juan Guaido set off in a cross-country caravan for the border with Colombia, where much of the U.S.-supplied aid is warehoused and where he has called on thousands of ordinary Venezuelans to assemble Saturday to help bring it across.

A group of lawmakers also headed to the Colombian border were stopped a few hours outside Caracas by national guardsmen in anti-riot gear who positioned a trailer truck in front of a tunnel, blocking the highway westward. A shouting match and scuffle ensued, with the guardsmen firing tear gas before the lawmakers eventually forced their way through and resumed their journey.

Meanwhile, Hugo Chavez’s longtime spy chief became the latest and perhaps most-influential military figure to declare his loyalty to Guaido.

Maduro’s decision to close the vast, jungle border with Brazil came a day after he blocked air and sea travel between Venezuela and the nearby Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao, where the first cargo of relief supplies arrived Thursday, sent by the large Venezuelan exile community in Miami.

Maduro said he was also weighing whether to shut the border with Colombia, where the bulk of aid is being stockpiled and exiled leaders have been gathering ahead of a fundraising concert Friday organized by British entrepreneur Richard Branson, in which several major Latin American pop artists will perform.

“They are committing an international crime because they are endorsing a military invasion,” Maduro said of the U.S., speaking Thursday on state TV flanked by his top military commanders. “They wanted to generate a great national commotion, but they didn’t achieve it.”

Saturday’s aid showdown comes exactly a month after Guaido declared himself interim president in a mass rally, immediately drawing the support of the U.S. and 50 other countries.

But while he’s managed to bring hope to Venezuelans crushed by years of recession, food shortages and hyperinflation, he’s so far been unable to win over the military, which has shown little sign of abandoning Maduro.

In declaring his support for Guaido on Thursday, retired Maj. Gen. Hugo Carvajal said Venezuela’s military was in as ramshackle a state as the nation as a whole.

Reading prepared remarks in a video on social media, Carvajal, who spent a decade running Chavez’s military intelligence agency before stepping down in 2012, urged his former comrades to redeem themselves and abandon their support for Maduro.

Today in History Today is Friday, Feb. 22, the 53rd day of 2019. There are 312 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 22, 1997, scientists in Scotland announced they had succeeded in cloning an adult mammal, producing a lamb named “Dolly.” (Dolly, however, was later put down after a short life marred by premature aging and disease.)

On this date: In 1630, English colonists in the Massachusetts Bay Colony first sampled popcorn brought to them by a Native American named Quadequina for their Thanksgiving celebration.

In 1732 (New Style date), the first president of the United States, George Washington, was born in Westmoreland County in the Virginia Colony.

In 1862, Jefferson Davis, already the provisional president of the Confederacy, was inaugurated for a six-year term following his election in November 1861.

In 1909, the Great White Fleet, a naval task force sent on a roundthe-world voyage by President Theodore Roosevelt, returned after more than a year at sea.

In 1935, it became illegal for airplanes to fly over the White House.

In 1959, the inaugural Daytona 500 race was held; although Johnny Beauchamp was initially declared the winner, the victory was later awarded to Lee Petty.

In 1965, former Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 82, died in Washington D.C. In 1967, more than 25,000 U.S. and South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Junction City, aimed at smashing a Vietcong stronghold near the Cambodian border. (Although the communists were driven out, they later returned.)

In 1974, Pakistan officially recognized Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan).

In 1980, the “Miracle on Ice” took place in Lake Placid, New York, as the United States Olympic hockey team upset the Soviets, 4-3.

(The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.)

In 1984, David Vetter, a 12-year-old Texas boy who’d spent most of his life in a plastic bubble because he had no immunity to disease, died 15 days after being removed from the bubble for a bone-marrow transplant.

In 1987, pop artist Andy Warhol died at a New York City hospital at age 58.

Ten years ago: “Slumdog Millionaire” won best picture and seven other Academy Awards; the late Heath Ledger won the best supporting actor Oscar for “The Dark Knight.” A gas explosion in a coal mine in northern China killed more than 70 miners.

Ukraine’s former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko (YOOL’-yah tee-moh-SHEN’-koh) left prison as her arch foe, President Viktor Yanukovych, decamped to the country’s east, vowing to remain in power. At the Sochi Olympics, Marit Bjoergen became the most decorated female Winter Olympian in history, winning her sixth career gold medal by leading a Norwegian sweep in the women’s 30-kilometer cross-country race. Mario Matt of Austria won the men’s slalom to become at age 34 the oldest Alpine champion in Olympic history.

One year ago: Defying his supporters in the National Rifle Association, President Donald Trump said the nation should keep assault rifles out of the hands of anyone under 21. Authorities announced that the armed officer who was on duty at the Parkland, Florida school where a shooter killed 17 people never went into the building to engage the gunman. A grand jury indicted Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (GRY’-tenz) on a felony charge of invasion of privacy for allegedly taking a compromising photo of a woman with whom he had an affair in 2015; Greitens responded that he made a mistake but committed no crime. (He would resign on June 1 while facing potential impeachment over allegations of sexual and political misconduct.) The U.S. women’s hockey team won the gold medal at the Winter Olympics in South Korea, beating Canada 3-2 after a shootout tiebreaker.

Climbing up a bedroom structure almost three times his height, my three-andhalf-year-old son donned in his Superman pajamas quietly and quickly ascended to the top. I was not in the room, but that universal parent sense came over me that I needed to drop what I was doing and go check on him as “things were just too quiet.”

I peeked in his room and

to my nervous amazement he was confidently standing on his sports organizer surveying the room from high above and deciding his next move. As I neared closer for his safety, I paused to ask what he was doing up there.

He declared, “I am Super Z (his nickname) and I can fly!”

My chuckled reply informed him of his limitations: “You are Super Z, but you cannot fly and you can get really hurt if you fall off there.” I put out my arms and he left his perch and trustingly jumped safely to me.

The author of the Book of Hebrews found in the Bible shares, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see (11:1).”

Faith begins when one responds to the revelation of God and is anchored as one leans into God’s character.

Faith is not a blind belief, random jump or wishing hard enough to make some-

thing happen. It is responding to the truth of who God is and then living in that reality.

As my son realized his limitations and the danger he was facing from falling, he chose to jump to me because he knew or had faith that I would catch him. The knowledge and history my son possessed was based on prior experience and because his trust in me and our relationship has grown over time. It was not a stretch for my son to reach out and trust his daddy.

God they are trusting in him even when there are unknowns and the future seems unsure. The whole chapter of Hebrews 11 highlights men and women who trusted and acted upon what they knew about God and were blessed to see Him work in their lives.

Verse 6 shows us how faith can even be lived out today: “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

I believe humanity was created to love God and others and we please God when we respond to the grace He offers to His creation.

It starts when we, with childlike faith, believe God does exist. We are then blessed to be rescued by His embrace and enjoy a life following and living for Him. The big life question is, “Will you take this leap?”

United Methodists confront possible split over LGBT issues

By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer

The United Methodist Church’s top legislative assembly convenes Sunday for a high-stakes, three-day meeting likely to determine whether America’s second-largest Protestant denomination will fracture due to divisions over same-sex marriage and the ordination of gay clergy.

While other mainline Protestant denominations — such as the Episcopal and Presbyterian (U.S.A.) churches — have embraced gay-friendly practices, the Methodist church still bans them, even though acts of defiance by pro-LGBT clergy have multiplied and talk of a possible breakup of the church has intensified.

At the church’s upcoming General Conference in St. Louis, 864 invited delegates — split evenly between lay people and clergy — are expected to consider several plans for the church’s future.

Several Methodist leaders said they expect a wave of departures from the church regardless of the decision.

“I don’t think there’s any plan where there won’t be some division,

and some people will leave,” said David Watson, a dean and professor at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, who will be attending the conference.

Formed in a merger in 1968, the United Methodist Church claims about 12.6 million members worldwide, including nearly 7 million in the United States. In size, it trails only the Southern Baptist Convention among U.S. Protestant denominations.

The church technically forbids same-sex marriage and gays serving in the ministry, but enforcement has been inconsistent. Clergy who support LGBT rights have been increasingly defiant, conducting same-sex marriages or coming out as gay or lesbian from the pulpit. In some cases, the church has filed charges against clergy who violated the bans, yet the UMC’s Judicial Council has ruled against the imposition of mandatory penalties.

At the heart of the ideological conflict is an official UMC policy, dating from 1972, asserting that “the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching.”

Not feeling it

Staff report Peninsula Clarion

I

really do not want to write this.

It’s not that I don’t love writing my column, I enjoy it.

It’s a fun practice, reflecting on recreation — mine or otherwise.

It keeps me sharp. It lets me hone my skill. I’m passionate about it!

I love to write and this lets me do just that, with very few parameters.

It’s just, I really don’t want to write this one in particular.

The conditions just aren’t right.

It’s been a long, busy week and instead of wrapping it up nicely with a completed column and nothing left on my agenda I’m sitting here staring at a blank text document marking the white with a few black characters here and there, and here and there (oh I’ll put some more right here, too).

Ugh. Well, might as well get this over with. I mean, what else do I have to do? The wind is blowing so hard in Seward that I may wake up in Oz tomorrow and I’m all caught up on my podcasts. It is a little chilly in my house. I should probably walk to the coffee shop and warm up. Maybe I’ll read a book while I’m there, or do a crossword puzzle. No. No. I should really write this column.

OK, here it goes. I’m going to push through this and maybe … just maybe … I’ll finish before deadline.

Look! I’m nearly a quarter of the way there. I just have to write that much three more times and I’ll be done. Then, I can go find somewhere to warm up, do something, anything, other than write this column.

Maybe I should stop here and get a snack. Yes, definitely, I need fuel. …

Yummy, almonds.

OK, I’m getting the hang of this. I think I can do it, finding my stride. Yeah, I got this.

So, guess what! I skied the Tour of Tsalteshi last weekend.

I had been looking forward to the race for a while. I learned to cross-country ski last winter on the trails and was ecstatic when I got to put those skills to the test during the first Tour of Tsalteshi.

This year, I was excited to revisit the trails that I had been missing all winter long since moving to Seward and see how I had improved as a skier.

The weather had something else in mind.

There was snow everywhere.

And not the beautiful type of snow everywhere that you can glide over and enjoy while you speedily ski past. It’s the sloggy type of snow everywhere that eats your skis and leaves you pushing and pushing and barely gliding.

After the first five kilometers I just did not want to ski anymore.

And it’s not that I don’t love skiing, I really do. It’s just, I didn’t love skiing in all that snow.

I didn’t love skiing that afternoon.

Skiers attack Birch Hill

Kupferschmid, Salzetti lead area at Nordic state

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Day one of the Alaska state nordic ski championships kicked off Thursday with classic interval-start races at the Birch Hill Ski Area in Fairbanks.

West Anchorage led a close three-way battle for the team race, with the top six skiers combining for a time of 1 hour, 10 minutes, 0.6 seconds. The West Valley girls sit second, 1:11 behind, while Service sits third, 1:36 behind West.

West Valley’s Kendall Kramer dominated the individual race Thursday with a time of 15:28.4 over the 5-kilometer course, with second-place Aubrey LeClair of West a staggering 1:22.6 behind.

In the boys team race, West also holds a slim lead with a tiny 4/10 of a second advantage over South Anchorage.

South’s Zanden McMullen got the 7.5-kilometer individual win in 22:14, giving him a 27-second lead over West’s Everett Cason.

Soldotna’s Jeremy Kupferschmid led the peninsula in the individual race for the state Skimeister award, which crowns the best skier after two combined days of racing. Kupferschmid sits 24th after one day and over four minutes behind the lead.

In the girls Skimeister battle, Kenai Central senior Maria Salzetti led the peninsula in 29th, just over 4:15 behind the lead, to help put the Kardinal girls in 14th in the team standings.

Peninsula coaches agreed that the colder snow of Fairbanks played a challenging role in de-

ciding which kick wax combination was best for Thursday’s races.

“I wouldn’t say it was easy, but it was more straight forward than we anticipated,” said Kenai Central head coach Brad Nyquist. “The temperatures were cold and tracks were solid, so in the tracks the glide was going to be really fast.

“The biggest thing was finding a kick that wasn’t going to be draggy.”

Soldotna coach Dan Harbison echoed Nyquist’s thoughts, adding that the SoHi teams managed to hit the right wax combination to give the Stars the necessary kick and glide.

“We were on pretty good skis,” Harbison said.

“We were right on the mix, I think we had one of the superior kicks out there today. It’s Fairbanks snow, so it’s always interesting. You can start to drag really easily so you have to kind of be careful.”

Harbison said Walters’ 56th-place finish was not indicative of his race due to a broken binding that doomed him about 1/3 of the way into the race.

“He probably skied a kilometer on one ski before we got another one to him,” Harbison said.

“That hurt him pretty bad.”

In the girls race, Salzetti covered the 5K course in 19:43.6 to lead Kenai, while teammate Mickinzie Ticknor was 64th, Summer Foster was 72nd, Leah Fallon was 77th, Gabriella Tewes was 83rd and Elizabeth Moffett was 85th.

“I’m happy with the team,” Nyquist said.

“This is a building year, but it was a great experi-

ence for a lot of the kids.

There’s so many plusses you take away from an event like this.”

The Homer Mariner girls finished the opening day ninth in the team standings, best among peninsula schools. Autumn Daigle led the way for Homer with a 32ndplace showing, 4:19 behind the lead. Daigle was followed by Mariner teammates Katia Holmes in 42nd, Zoe Stonorov in 46th, Brita Restad in 49th, Sienna Carey in 60th and Aiyana Cline in 75th.

The Soldotna girls finished day one in 10th overall. The Stars were led by Hannah Delker in 40th, 4:46 behind the lead.

Delker led a close contingent of SoHi skiers, as all six varsity racers finished within 90 seconds of each other. Behind Delker was teammates Katie Delker in 43rd, Sonora Martin in 45th, Erika Arthur in 48th, Isabella Dammeyer in 53rd and Cameron Blackwell in 56th.

“It put them in great position to move up,” Harbison said, referring to Friday’s mass-start race that seeds racers based on Thursday’s results.

Seward was led by Sadie Lindquist, who finished 55th and 6:17 behind the lead, while teammate Lucy Hankins was 89th.

Kupferschmid’s result in the boys race helped put SoHi 10th in the team standings, and he was followed behind by teammates Jack Harris in 47th, Foster Boze in 54th, Bradley Walters in 56th, Joseph Dammeyer in 66th and Lance Chilton in 68th.

The Kenai boys fin-

ished 14th in the team standing after Thursday, and were led by Josh Foster in 65th, just over 8:10 behind the lead.

Foster was followed by Tyler Hippchen in 72nd, Johann Carranza in 77th, Nathan Haakenson in 78th, Tristan Summers in 80th and Samuel Roberts in 85th.

Homer’s lone varsity skier was Andy Super, who took 82nd and 11:25 behind the lead.

Seward’s Clay Petersen led the Seahawks after day 1 with a 61st-place showing, 7:38 behind the lead. Petersen was trailed by Seward’s Cody Bryden in 72nd and Sam Paperman in 79th.

The state ski meet continues today with mass start freestyle races, beginning at 11 a.m. with the girls 7.5K event and finishing at 1 p.m. with the boys 10K race.

The meet ends Saturday with the girls 4-by3K relay at 11 a.m. and the boys 4-by-5K relay at 1 p.m.

Wildlife translocations to, from the peninsula

Caribou were reintroduced to the Kenai Peninsula from the Nelchina herd in the 1960s and 1980s by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. (Photo provided by Kenai National Wildlife Refuge)

Imagine, if you will, a couple of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists in a seaplane flying over the Kenai Mountains, when they notice three mountain goats swimming across Cooper Lake, near Cooper Landing. So naturally, they landed the Grumman Widgeon, taxied up to the swimming goats, captured one, hogtied it, and loaded it into the plane with them. A few days later, they transported it over to Kodiak Island and dropped it off.

This was the third goat

R efuge N otebook D om W atts translocated from the Kenai to Kodiak in hopes of establishing a new population there. Using a variety of methods, including charging at goats while yelling and lassoing them, 17 goats were translocated to Kodiak during 1952–53. Goats have since flourished on the is-

land, now occurring at some of the highest densities recorded for the species.

During the 1950s, the Kenai Peninsula also was an important source of moose for introductions in the Copper River Delta near Cordova. The population flourished and, more than 60 years after these initial efforts, moose remain a self-sustaining and viable population in this area.

Dall sheep also were translocated from the Kenai to Kodiak during the 1960s, See WATTS, page A9

The first five kilometers dragged by while I tried to think of different things D.N.F. could be an acronym for besides “DID NOT FINISH.” Do not forget, I still had three more five kilometers to go. I wasn’t going to get there anytime soon because, well, “Duh, not fast!” but after one more set of five kilometers I’d be halfway there! And that means I’d be halfway to a dry pair of pants and about a quarter of the way to drink ’n‘ food at Kenai River Brewing.

Sometimes it seemed like the snow was getting better and then it would get worse.

(One minute, I need to go do anything but sit here and write this. I was on a roll but I lost it. I’m at about 640 words. Almost there!)

“Is that rain?” I thought as I creeped along. It was. I looked at my watch, expecting it to be near sundown and my distance to be far from 20 kilometers. But, I found some tempered optimism. I was almost at 20 kilometers and just under two hours into the race.

The jolt of positivity got me up and over and down a few last climbs. Then, woah!

Just like that, the race was over.

And, look at that, so is this column!

Ostrander helps Boise to victory Staff report Peninsula Clarion

Allie Ostrander kicked off the 2019 Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Thursday with a medley distance relay victory for Boise State.

The redshirt junior helped the Broncos to a fourth straight Mountain West Indoor win in the women’s distance medley relay by running the 1,600-meter anchor leg, breaking the tape with a team time of 11 minutes, 10.43 seconds. Ostrander was joined by Boise State teammates Alexis Fuller, Kelly Moodry and Kristie Schoffield.

Ostrander, a 2015 Kenai Central grad, took the baton with about a 5-meter lead on the field, then stretched the advantage over New Mexico star distance runner Ednah Kurgat to cross the finish line almost 19 seconds ahead.

but these attempts ultimately failed to establish a population on Kodiak.

Wildlife translocations on the Kenai are not just limited to big game, either.

Ruffed grouse, for example, are actually not native to the Kenai Peninsula. The few ruffed grouse that I’ve managed to find are, in fact, descendants of 232 birds that were introduced to the Kenai during the 1990s.

Although ruffed grouse still aren’t very abundant, these efforts did successfully establish a self-sustaining population of ruffed grouse on the Kenai Peninsula.

Establishing new populations isn’t the only reason biologists translocate wildlife. Management agencies also use translocations to re-establish extirpated native wildlife populations or augment those that have been reduced to critically low numbers.

For example, mountain goats were translocated to Cecil Rhode Mountain in 1983 to augment a dwindling population that had nearly been extirpated by over-harvest. Goats were captured from other areas in the Kenai Mountains and released on Cecil Rhode Mountain to repopulate the area, where a robust goat population still persists today.

Translocations have also been used to re-establish species that were extirpated from the Kenai Peninsula.

Many folks don’t know that the caribou seen grazing around Soldotna and Kenai are not actually native to the peninsula.

son is one of the most powerful players in the game.

An abundant native caribou population, a subspecies known as Stone’s caribou, once existed on the Kenai, but was extirpated around the turn of the century. Although no one really knows the cause of their disappearance, overhunting and habitat changes from human-caused fire are thought to be key contributing factors.

Caribou were later reintroduced to the Kenai from the Nelchina herd during the 1960s. These early translocations resulted in the establishment of the Kenai Lowland and Kenai Mountains caribou herds.

Later translocations of Nelchina caribou, during the 1980s, eventually established the Killey River and Fox River herds in the central Kenai Mountains.

Collectively, these four herds persist on the Kenai Peninsula, allowing harvests of approximately 20 to 30 caribou annually.

Beyond deliberate introductions, it is also important to consider unintended translocations and the potential consequences of such introductions. The Kenai Peninsula is no stranger to the detrimental consequences of accidentally introduced invasive species like elodea and the green alder sawfly, which can wreak havoc on native fish and wildlife populations.

Less sinister invasions, however, may also occur as a result of human activities.

Take, for example, Sitka black-tailed deer. In 1923, seven deer were translocated from Baranof Island to the Homer Spit in an attempt to introduce deer to the area. This early attempt failed, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the Kenai

Peninsula will forever remain devoid of deer.

Other introductions during the 1920s and 1930s successfully established deer populations on several islands in Prince William Sound and near Cordova.

Prince William Sound lies at the northern extreme of the black-tail deer’s range.

Deep snows during severe winters and a lack of old growth forests, which offer refugia from heavy snows, have largely limited the spread of black-tailed deer beyond Prince William Sound.

A warming climate and associated shifting habitats, particularly those of increasing mountain hemlock forests, suggest that blacktailed deer might eventually expand their range onto the Kenai Peninsula. Following consecutive years of mild winters, recent sightings of black-tailed deer on the mainland east of Prince William Sound, near Anchorage, and on the Kenai Peninsula itself, may be a harbinger of such an invasion in the not too distant future.

Sister suspects fiance caught flirting has much more to hide once made contact with him or me. Dad lived in a very small town. When he would see Mom’s sister and her husband out and about in restaurants and stores, they would ignore him.

After Dad’s death, my aunt contacted me asking if she could have a rocking Abigail Van Buren chair that belonged to my mother. I agreed they could have it. To my shock, when my uncle arrived to pick up the chair, he began asking me about my dad’s belongings. He wanted to look through Dad’s tools and such. After making no attempt to contact Dad while he was alive, now that he’s gone, my uncle had the nerve to ask to look through Dad’s things?! I politely shut him down.

Since then, my aunt has been bad-mouthing me all over town, telling everyone “I dropped them” and “don’t want anything to do with them.”

I suppose that’s true under the circumstances, but what should I say to set the record straight without appearing as the bad guy?

-- “ORPHAN” IN THE SOUTH DEAR ORPHAN: Please accept my sym-

pathy for the loss of your parents, and the uncomfortable situation in which you now find yourself. Memorize the first paragraph of your letter to me and recite it verbatim when the subject of your relationship with your aunt and uncle comes up. Because it’s a small town, the message will spread quickly, and you won’t have to repeat it often.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I want to go to Europe this summer, but we don’t want to take his mother along. We have taken her on two holidays over the last two years and didn’t enjoy either one for various reasons. She now expects to go with us on our international vacations, and we don’t know how to tell her we prefer to go alone. Please help.

-- HOLIDAY FOR TWO DEAR HOLIDAY: What your husband should say to his mother is, “Mom, my wife and I will be going to __________ for a few weeks in early August. We need an ‘adventure’ alone together, so we will not be asking you to join us.” Period!

Put the cellphone on hold Dear Heloise: When is it INAPPROPRIATE TO USE A CELLPHONE? I’ve noticed in business meetings that some of our associates keep their phones on and answer them.

-- Tricia G., St. Paul, Minn.

Tricia, cellphones are everywhere these days, but people seem at odds as to when it’s rude or inappropriate to check messages.

Here are a few guidelines: * NEVER text or talk on a cellphone while driving. * Turn your cellphone off during a business meeting unless you’re using your phone to share a presentation or the latest data. * Turn off your cellphone at the movies, at live theatrical performances and while in church or other houses of worship, and in doctor’s offices. * Don’t walk down a street, cross a road or sit down in a restaurant with a friend -- or worse, with a date -- while checking your messages.

For all other occasions, just use common sense and good manners.

-- Heloise WHEN TRAVELING ALONE Dear Heloise: Just three suggestions for those like me who travel alone on business or for pleasure: 1. Arrive at your hotel before dark. Write down the address if you plan to use a taxi or in case you get lost.

2. Use just one piece of luggage.

3. Let a close friend or relative know about your travel plans: where you’ll be staying, when you expect to return and how you can be reached. Be sure to phone a friend or relative at least once during your trip.

Stay safe.

-- Pete W., Seneca Falls, N.Y.

DEAR ABBY: My youngest sister started dating a man and they quickly moved in together.

Six months into their relationship she got pregnant and they got engaged. Their wedding is planned for this summer.

Recently she discovered he has been videochatting with someone he met online. He admitted to flirting, apologized and promised that was the end of it. I have a strong suspicion that there have been other “situations” my sister is unaware of.

Should I express my concerns to her and suggest postponing the wedding? Or should I keep my gut feelings to myself? I’m afraid she will get married and then find out what’s really going on.

-- BIG SISTER IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR BIG SISTER: Be honest with your sister. Although I suspect that your gut feelings are accurate, whether she will believe it is debatable, but at least she will have been warned. If she does decide to stay with him, refrain from any “I told you so’s.” Recognize that whether she marries her fiance or not, she will forever be linked with him because of the baby.

DEAR ABBY: After my mom passed away, my dad lived alone for three years until his death.

During those three years, Mom’s family not
