In the news Ferry system halts fall sales amid uncertain future JUNEAU — The Alaska state ferry system has stopped selling tickets past September amid uncertainty over its future. CoastAlaska reports Gov. Mike Dunleavy is proposing a budget cut that would effectively shut down the system. Joshua Bowen is mayor of the southeast Alaska community of Angoon and says everyone there relies on the ferry. Angoon has no airport or barge service, and its passengers and goods come in by a twice-weekly ferry or by floatplane. Dunleavy is trying to eliminate a projected $1.6 billion state budget deficit without new taxes and without reducing the annual check Alaskans receive from the state’s oil-wealth fund. He is proposing that a consultant look at privatization. Legislators have raised concerns with ending service.

Troopers arrest Fairbanks man suspected in crash, shooting FAIRBANKS — A 34-year-old Fairbanks driver suspected of crashing into a car and firing shots at the vehicle has been arrested. Alaska State Troopers say Tucker Holmgren was held on suspicion of weapons misconduct, assault, felony driving under the influence and refusal to submit to a blood alcohol test. Fairbanks Troopers just before midnight Thursday took a call that a man had crashed his pickup into a car carrying a family with four juveniles on a rural road east of Fairbanks. Troopers say the suspect then fired a gun at the car. Troopers accompanied by Fairbanks and North Pole police responded and arrested Holmgren. He was jailed at Fairbanks Correctional Center.

Unions to push back against ferry cuts By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire

The Alaska Marine Highway System could be facing up to 253 union job losses under Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed budget, according to Robb Arnold, a member of the Inland Boatman’s Union. The IBU is one of three unions that work with the ferry system. That job reduction would include 100 jobs in Juneau and 81 in Ketchikan, Arnold said. Arnold said he and other union members learned that this during a meeting with Department of Trans-

budget for fiscal 2020. The ferry system may only operate seasonally instead of year-round. AMHS union advocates are gearing up to push back. The AFL-CIO, a union which represents many state employees, is hosting a rally at the Alaska State Capitol steps next week. Arnold said he and other IBU members have been invited to participate, along with members of the other two ship-side unions: the International Organization of Masters, Mates and Pilots, and the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial As-

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Wednesday released the draft that lays out development alternatives for the proposed Pebble Mine in southwest Alaska’s Bristol Bay region, including a no-development option. For years, the project has been the subject of heated debate and, at times, litigation. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has said the Bristol Bay watershed supports the largest sockeye salmon fishery in the world.

Local guidance center offers alternative approach to grief counseling By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion

Sandy Kearns is a grief counselor on the Kenai peninsula with a unique approach to helping people deal with the loss of a loved one.

By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News

A proposed state budget from Gov. Mike Dunleavy brought both concern and praise from two lower Kenai Peninsula legislators. “It’s pretty shocking,” said Sen. Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, in a phone interview on Monday. “… It’s pretty depressing now. We’ll go through it line by line.” Stevens said Dunleavy’s budget drew criticism throughout the Senate. “There isn’t anybody at this point who says ‘We approve that total budget,’” he said. In a statement released through the House Repub-

Sarah Palin proposed and the Legislature passed budgets fully paid for with oil and gas revenues and that put money into earnings reserves. In an initial analysis of the budget, Steven’s chief of staff, Doug Letch, noted these impacts locally: • Kindergarten through 12th grade funding would fall by $320 million, from $1.66 billion to $1.34 billion, with the biggest cut in the foundation formula, from $1.2 billion to $942 million. • The state contribution to the University of Alaska budget would drop 44 perSee GOV, page A3

grief counseling. Kearns and her clients will play with the dogs, feed the horses, and take walks around her ranch as a part of the healing process. “I’m not going to diagnose you. I’m not going to analyze you. I’m just here to help you carry your burden,” said Kearns. Each session is personalized to the individual, and Kearns said that this is because each person deals with grief in a different way. When working with a family, for example, the mom may make coffee or do yoga while the kids color or play with the dogs. “Children don’t typically respond well when asked a bunch of questions, it feels like going to school or showing up for duty. They’re much more inclined to open up while playing or coloring or interacting with animals,” explained Kearns. Kearns has worked as a clinical counselor for many years, most recently at Providence Alaska Medical Center. After experiencing a number of personal losses in a very short period of time, Kearns decided that she needed to reevaluate her approach to dealing with bereavement, and that’s when she started exploring equine-facilitated wellness and animal-assisted therapy. Question: Do you typically host one family at a time? Kearns: Yes. There are those that prefer a small group, and we do that when people request that, and

the public outcry?” Arnold, who has worked for the ferry system since 2006, said in an interview. “It’s not a normal state. If you take part of the system away the rest of the system will not work.” Southeast Alaska relies on the ferry system to connect remote islands in the archipelago; without it, there only way to access other islands is by personal boats or plane. The system serves as a marine transport high-

way, shipping food, people and heavy equipment for construction projects. It also provides residents in remote areas access to urban stops, such as Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka, for health care and other services. Earlier this week, lawmakers from Southeast — especially Republican Sen. Bert Stedman of Sitka — pressed the governor’s Office of Management and Budget on the proposed cuts.

These three ferry-side unions have signed a memo in solidarity, vowing to save the Marine Highway. “If the Governor’s proposed budget were enacted the impact on Alaska’s South East communities would be devastating,” the memo states. It assures the members that union leadership is “working together on this issue along with our state and local representatives, the national union and our lobbyists.”

typically that’s six people in a group. So when you want to share your feelings in a group setting we have our Hospice Grief Group, we have the grief group at Central Peninsula, we have a group here for those impacted by suicide. The community is really good about having some grief groups. What we offer here is a therapist’s perspective on what’s going on with you personally. Then people find it a little bit safer to talk, as well. Q: Would you say that the grief you’ve experienced personally is what led you to do this? Was starting Winter’s Grace part of your own healing process? Kearns: Yes, very much. It was the move away from clinical counseling where I diagnosed people and billed insurance. Because people who are grieving, they just don’t seek help. They do it by themselves. Because there’s a stigma and people think ‘I don’t want to cry in front of somebody,’ and ‘I’m self-sufficient,’ and ‘oh, time will help.’ But they hurt. They hurt, and they need other people, whether through a church, an agency or an individual facilitator like myself or others in the community to share that journey with them. But they’re hesitant because of price and time and ‘Oh, I don’t want to be analyzed,’ and yet when they do one of these resources, they feel better. And then they say ‘I wish I would have done it sooner.’ So I think throwing ourselves into Winter’s Grace and working with

the animals and you know, my dogs were beside me all the way just as my husband was and my friends were. People respond differently. Physicians respond differently. Thank goodness I had great physicians that told me ‘It’s okay to be vulnerable, Sandy,’ because we’re supposed to be strong! We’re here to help other people. But when the helper hurts, what do you do? So we turned to nature, and to animals, and to just spending a lot of time. Q: So how long have you guys been doing this now? Kearns: After Dan and I got married, I was still at Providence at the Cancer Center. I was the interim director and we built the Susan Butcher Family Center and I was doing all the counseling for the children and the families. I really loved my job. I’d been there eight years and helped build the Cancer Center. I loved working with individuals with cancer and those bereaved from someone in the family with cancer, but I also wanted to be married and have a family. So I moved down here in 2013. We started on the other side of the road at the Jim Dollar farm. We built a barn, and learned a little bit of carekeeping, and then had this series of losses and decided that we just needed to make things easier for ourselves, the animals, and for people. So we spent a year building a home here. Musgrove: It was nice in the respect that we had never built a home together, and knowing what we knew from our existing place

over there, we were able to draw things up and put a wishlist together to try and incorporate what our current lifestyle was. Probably one of the huge things that was just very gratifying for me: After we got the place built, we had a friend that’s in a wheelchair visit us. We opened one of the garage doors, he drove his vehicle in, unloaded, and he was able to cruise everywhere in the entire house. It warmed my heart to see him be able to do that, and he said rarely can he ever go to anyone’s house and do that. Kearns: That’s what we wanted. We wanted to welcome people that have had different things in their life that have caused them to change courses. No one has to be a victim, however we do change courses sometimes and that can be pretty unexpected. Q: What would you say to someone who’s considering coming to you, but they’re not necessarily sure if it’s right for them? A: Well, we always talk to everybody over the phone first. So you’ll give me a call, we’ll visit by phone, we’ll determine if we’re a fit, I’ll help you understand better what we do. I’ll give them my Facebook, website, and Linkedin profile, and have them ask around town. But there’s no obligation.

cent, with potential effects to branch campuses in Homer, Kodiak and Soldotna. • The Alaska Marine Highway System budget would drop from $144 million to $44 million, with a cut to ferry fuel from $20.6 million to $4 million. Stevens said that would mean the M/V Tustumena would end winter service in November. • Medicaid spending would drop from $2.27 billion to $1.55 billion. • The Alaska Department of Fish and Game would see a $5 million cut, and the department would not manage special areas such as wildlife refuges, sanctuaries and habitat areas, including the Kachemak Bay Critical Habitat Area. • The Alaska Department of Natural Resources would see a $4 million cut, mostly for the Division of Agriculture. • Alaska State Parks would see minor cuts, with only a reduction from $15.8 million to $15.4 million. Dunleavy’s budget does not add new sources of revenue such as a state income or sales tax, and also proposes paying a Permanent Fund Dividend using the traditional formula. Divi-

dend check amounts had been cut by former Gov. Bill Walker and the Legislature in order to help pay for state services and reduce the state’s massive deficit. Stevens said on Monday he had attended Senate Finance Committee meetings. “What I heard that resounded with me, from Sen. (Natasha) von Imhof, was ‘This is the budget you get when you give a full Permanent Fund Dividend,” he said. Chair of the Senate Education Committee and a retired college professor, Stevens said the cut to the K-12 foundation formula would be hard. “I’ve been talking to the districts,” he said. “It’s really an unfair position to put them in. We can’t tell them what’s going to happen until we get to the end of each May.” Delaying information on how much money schools will receive until the summer impacts teacher retention. Many teachers decide to leave and apply for jobs elsewhere when districts aren’t able to offer positions until just a few months before the school year starts. In addition to department cuts, Stevens noted another impact to local government: a transfer to state coffers of local municipal taxes like the petroleum

property tax and the fisheries business and landing taxes. Dunleavy proposes using that money to balance his budget. For petroleum taxes, that’s about $400 million that cities and boroughs would lose. Kenai Borough Assembly Member Willy Dunne, Homer, said the Anchor Point Emergency Service Area would lose $400,000 in such funds. For fisheries taxes, Kodiak would lose $1.7 million, the borough would lose $177,000 and Homer would lose $59,000. “These are reductions the communities are going to have to make up one way or another,” Stevens said. The cuts to the Marine Highway System would be hard on communities with no road service, like Kodiak, Cordova or Prince William Sound villages. When asked how the ferry cuts would affect plans to build a new Tus-

tumena ferry, homeported in Homer, Stevens said, “There might very well not be a new ship.” While the governor proposes, the Legislature disposes, and no money can go into the budget that the Legislature does not pass. That means if Dunleavy wants to fund a full PFD, he needs cooperation from them — a potential bargaining tool. “We’re not at that point yet, but we need to have some really good meetings with the governor and present our case to him,” Stevens said. “He may come off his position. … We’ve got quite a process … we have to deal with. It requires some close negotiations between the House and the Senate and then the governor.”” Raising new revenues is off the table, Stevens said. Dunleavy has said he would repeal an income tax. Dunleavy can veto line items,

and it takes 45 votes out of 60 — the House and Senate combined — to override a veto. “It’s a high barrier, but at this point the governor’s budget has pretty much aggravated everyone I know,” Stevens said. “The North Slope, educators, the university.

What Others Say

With measles on the rise, vaccination is critical Measles outbreaks continue

to lacerate communities from coast to coast, and there’s absolutely no reason for it. The latest involve dozens of new cases in New York and in Clark County, Washington, across the Columbia River from Portland. These shouldn’t be happening. The highly contagious disease — which can lead to pneumonia and, in uncommon cases, to encephalitis or even death — was all but eradicated in 2000. But many parents, embracing scientifically debunked fears about vaccination health risks, have declined the inoculation of their children with the doses for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). It surely doesn’t help when public figures who should know better spread uninformed views. Darla Shine, wife of White House Communications Director Bill Shine, tweeted last week that childhood diseases “keep you healthy & fight cancer” and that “sadly,” her children had received the MMR. Actually, her kids are safer because they’ve had the vaccine. The core issue is that too many states make it too easy for parents to avoid having their children immunized. While all 50 require vaccinations, 17 states allow parents to opt out for personal reasons. Even if their offspring get and survive the illness, they selfishly place at serious risk other children who can’t be vaccinated because of legitimate medical concerns such as a compromised immune system. Those children are protected only when virtually everyone else in the community is immunized, breaking the chain of infection. Even worse, in 2016 scientists found that a deadly measles neurological complication, which lies dormant in children for years, is more common than previously thought, arising in 1 out of 609 cases where unvaccinated babies contract the disease. Recent outbreaks underscore the risks of allowing nonmedical exemptions. Forty-seven states let parents opt out for religious reasons. Among them is New York, where there have been more than 70 cases of measles in New York City since October, including cases among unvaccinated children within an Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn. In Rockland County, there have been 135 cases since September. The state of Washington allows both religious and personal exemptions. The result is that only 78 percent of children ages 6 to 18 in Clark County have received the necessary two doses of MMR. Almost all of the 62 confirmed cases of measles in that county this year involved no prior immunization. Three states — California, Mississippi and West Virginia — allow vaccination exemptions strictly for medical reasons. Not coincidentally, their twodose MMR rates for kindergartners are 96.9 percent, 99.4 percent and 98.4 percent, respectively. The outbreak in Washington has prompted legislators to consider a measure sponsored by a Clark County Republican state representative that would deny MMR exemptions based on personal beliefs. For all the sense this makes, hard-core opposition remains fierce. Even as children fell ill, hundreds of naysayers arrived at the Washington statehouse to voice opposition. When California passed an even stricter law in 2015, the sponsor — state Sen. Richard Pan — received death threats. Despite the blowback, government requirements are the right things to do, along with public education campaigns. Exemptions to state-mandated vaccinations should be granted only for narrowly prescribed medical or religious reasons. The health of children is too important to put at risk. — USA Today, Feb. 19

Dunleavy’s budget will leave Alaska morally, economically bankrupt

Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s budget proposal presented Feb. 13 will leave Alaska morally and economically bankrupt. As I watched Dunleavy deliver his budget proposal, I saw a man not up to the challenge of his elected office. He completely failed to do any of the analysis or hard decisions associated with building an actual, sustainable budget. Instead he abdicated his responsibilities as a leader and cowered behind slogans and ideological talking points. By proposing a budget that is so devoid of any basis in reality, or at least any reality that folks would actually want to live in, Dunleavy has simply removed himself from the conversation reasonable Alaskans need to have to appropriately balance revenues and expenses. A budget is not sustainable if the population will clearly revolt within a few years and demand the services that are standard throughout the rest of our country. No business is going to invest in a state with such clearly unmet civic needs. Until we have a truly balanced budget, where actually needs are covered

need state policies that will attract investment and provide the services that Alaskans and Alaska businesses depend upon. We do not need laska oices a thoroughly bankrupt budget that eliminates items that are cornerstones of a functioning society, such as an A lyse G alvin adequate (if not high-performing) K-12 education system, a capable university system, and a health care by revenue, no business will subject system that cares for our sick, elderly themselves to that uncertainty. and neediest Alaskans.

Schiff warns of subpoenas, lawsuit over Mueller report By MARY CLARE JALONICK and HOPE YEN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A top House Democrat threatened on Sunday to call special counsel Robert Mueller to Capitol Hill, subpoena documents and sue the Trump administration if the full report on Mueller’s Russia investigation is not made public. Rep. Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said his committee will keep close watch on new Attorney General William Barr to see if he were “to try to bury any part of this report.” Schiff, D-Calif., also pledged to “take it to court if necessary.” He said anything less than complete disclosure would leave Barr, who now oversees the investigation, with “a tarnished legacy.” Schiff’s comments come as Democrats have made it clear that they are ready for an aggressive, public fight with the Justice Department if they are not satisfied with the level of access they have to Mueller’s findings. Mueller is showing signs of wrapping up his nearly 2-year-old investigation into possible coordination between Trump associates and Russia’s efforts to sway the 2016 election. The report isn’t expected to be delivered to the Justice Department this coming week. Barr has said he wants to release as much information as he can. But during his confirmation hearing last month, Barr made clear that he will decide what the public sees, and that any report will be in his words, not

Mueller’s. Schiff, in a television interview, suggested that anything short of Mueller’s full report would not satisfy Democrats. He pointed to a public interest in seeing some of the underlying evidence, such as information gathered from searches conducted on longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone and Paul Manafort, a former Trump campaign chairman. With Democrats taking control of the House in January and Schiff now the committee chairman, he has undertaken his own investigation. That means re-examining issues covered by a now-closed GOP probe that concluded there was no evidence Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia. Schiff has said the committee also will pursue new matters, including whether foreign governments have leverage over Trump, his relatives or associates. Some Democrats are pointing to documents that Justice Department officials provided to Congress in the wake of the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails, as well as information that Republicans demanded as part of their own inquiries. Schiff said he told department officials after they released information related to the Clinton investigation that “this was a new precedent they were setting and they were going to have to live by this precedent whether it was a Congress controlled by the Democrats or Republicans.” Beyond that, however, is “the intense public need to know here, which I think overrides any other consideration,” he said. Democrats could use Mueller’s

findings as the basis of impeachment proceedings. In a letter Friday, Democrats warned against withholding information on Trump on the basis of department opinions that the president can’t be indicted. “We are going to get to the bottom of this,” Schiff said. “If the president is serious about all of his claims of exoneration, then he should welcome the publication of this report.” Many Republicans have also argued that the full report should be released, though most have stopped short of saying it should be subpoenaed. “We need to get the facts out there, get this behind us in a way that people thought that anybody that should have been talked to was talked to any question that should have been asked, was asked,” said Sen. Roy Blunt, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. But asked if he thought there could be a subpoena, Blunt, R-Mo., said, “I don’t know that you can.” The Senate committee also has been investigating whether Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia. Blunt suggested a conclusion in that probe might wait until after Mueller’s report. “We’d like to have frankly a little more access to the Mueller investigation before we come to a final conclusion,” Blunt said. “His report will help us write our final report. We’ve given Mueller full access to all of our interviews all of our investigation. We haven’t had that reciprocated and so we’ll soon find out what else is out there that we might not know about.” Schiff appeared on ABC’s “This Week,” and Blunt was on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Since the donations are made to a school, tax donation forms can be issued by SoHi upon request. If you have any questions, please email epokryfky@ kpbsd.org for more info or visit and like us on Facebook: @ cinderellacloset.kenai Over the years this project has received tremendous support from our community and local businesses, such as Walgreens, PayLess Shoes, Fred Meyer, Walmart, Summit Cleaner, and so many residents donating items and or their time. Unfortunately this year we are in need of a new location for opening the Cinderella Closet to our students. It would be fantastic if we could find a permanent location for storing and collecting donations year round and open the doors to students in need at regular times of the year, for Prom and Homecoming (or other formal school events). We really care about this project because we see year after year how many students we have been able to help. I confide in the support of our community for finding a suitable location for hosting the Cinderella’s Closet of our school district. Kaleidoscope School of Arts and Science Feb. 25, 2019

Jr. Blues take rubber match from Bears Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The visiting Kenai River Brown Bears dropped a 9-3 contest to the Springfield (Illinois) Jr. Blues on Sunday in North American Hockey League play. The Bears had won Friday and lost Saturday before losing the rubber match in the crucial threegame series. Kenai River (17-25-3-2) is now 15 points behind the Jr. Blues (2519-3-1) and Janesville (Wisconsin) Jets in the race for the final playoff spot in the Midwest Division. Springfield and Janesville are tied for third place. “We’ve got a lot of guys sick and banged up and battling through stuff this weekend,” interim head coach Dan Bogdan said. “It was a long weekend. Next week, we’ll get some rest and be feeling better.”

The Bears gave up eight goals Saturday and nine Sunday in by far their worst defensive performances of the season. Before that, the most goals the Bears had given up was six, which occurred on two occasions. “It’s going to happen a couple times during a 60-game season,” Bogdan said. “We had a lot of guys feeling pretty sick, including the goalie. It’s a bad time for it to happen.” Gavin Enright had been lights out for the Bears lately before giving up the eight goals Saturday and eight goals on 33 shots Sunday. Goalie Andrew Slobiski saw his first action for the Brown Bears and stopped six on seven shots. “He looked pretty good today,” Bogdan said of Slobiski. “He saw a few shots and let one in, but it was a good shot.” Janis Voris made 21 saves for

the Blues. For Springfield, Nikita Kozyrev, coming off a hat trick Saturday, had two goals and an assist. Nick Techel also had two goals and an assist, while Brandon Puricelli had four assists and Max Brainin, David Schmidling and Jayden Jensen each had two assists. The Bears, who were down 2-1 after the first period before getting outscored 3-0 in the second period, received goals from Markuss Komuls, Laudon Poellinger and Michael Spethmann. Assists went to Jackson Nauss, Alex Klekotka, Poellinger, Andy Walker and Sutton McDonald. The Bears stay on the road to face the Minnesota Magicians, who are in first place in the Midwest, Thursday and Saturday at 4 p.m. “We’ll give the guys the day off (Monday) and let them rest up,

hydrate, take care of their bodies and get ready for next weekend,” Bogdan said. It was an especially long week for Bogdan, Spethmann and JJ Boucher. All three were at the Top Prospects Tournament in Attleboro, Massachusetts, on Monday and Tuesday. Top Prospects is one of the most highly scouted events in junior hockey. This year, there were over 220 scouts from NCAA, NHL and junior teams. Boucher had an assist as the Midwest Division lost to Selects Blue 6-2 on Monday. Neither Brown Bears player had a point in a 2-1 overtime loss to South Division on Tuesday. The bad news is Boucher came down with an illness so bad he could not suit up for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday games against the Jr. Blues. “They both played extremely

well,” Bogdan said of Spethmann and Boucher. “Hopefully, we can make a move to finish up both of their scholarships.” Sunday Jr. Blues 9, Brown Bears 3 Kenai River 1 0 2 — 3 Springfield 2 3 4 — 9 First period — 1.

Built Ford Tough: Keselowski wins despite flu HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Brad Keselowski had his hands full with a new car and a new rules package — enough to make for a trying race — before a stomach virus nearly flattened him.

Keselowski missed a portion of final practice, received intravenous fluids at Atlanta Motor Speedway’s medical center, and had a replacement driver on standby Sunday in case he couldn’t make it the

full 500 miles. Sick day? No way. Keselowski recovered from flu-like symptoms to win at Atlanta and move past Mark Donohue as the winningest driver in Team Penske history. It was the first

win for Ford’s new Mustang and a rebound for the manufacturer after Toyota swept the season-opening Daytona 500. “A race car driver is who I am. It’s what I do and what

I love. I’m not going to let anything get in the way of it,” Keselowski said after the win. “We had the team to win, of course things still have to go your way, but I don’t want to be the reason why they don’t.” He was admittedly hot, tired and somewhat dazed after 3 1/2 hour of racing. Had the event been one day earlier, Keselowski said he wouldn’t have been healthy enough to drive. He lost nearly 6 pounds battling the illness but wasn’t complaining after the win. “Whenever you have a fast car, it’s funny how fast those things disappear,” he said. Keselowski has proved his toughness before, most notably in 2011 when he won at Pocono just days after breaking his ankle in a crash while testing. This time he fell ill late Friday night after

surprising fans in the Atlanta infield with beer during their rainy night of partying. Keselowski’s wife also was sick, and Keselowski missed the start of Saturday’s final practice as Austin Cindric turned laps in the No. 2 Ford. Keselowski was able to complete two runs before practice ended, but medical workers took him via golf cart from the garage to receive treatment. “Whatever we had, I’m not sure what we had, it floored both of us,” he said. NASCAR debuted its new competition package Sunday that is designed to improve the on-track product and help the smaller teams contend. But the first look at the new rules was tempered because the abrasive asphalt at Atlanta is unlike any other surface NASCAR will race on this season.

Today in History Today is Monday, Feb. 25, the 56th day of 2019. There are 309 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 25, 1986, President Ferdinand Marcos fled the Philippines after 20 years of rule in the wake of a tainted election; Corazon Aquino assumed the presidency. On this date: In 1570, England’s Queen Elizabeth I was excommunicated by Pope Pius V, who accused the monarch of heresy. In 1793, President George Washington held the first Cabinet meeting on record at his Mount Vernon home; attending were Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of War Henry Knox and Attorney General Edmund Randolph. In 1836, inventor Samuel Colt patented his revolver. In 1862, Nashville, Tenn., became the first Confederate state capital to be occupied by the North during the Civil War. In 1901, United States Steel Corp. was incorporated by J.P. Morgan. In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving Congress the power to levy and collect income taxes, was declared in effect by Secretary of State Philander Chase Knox. In 1919, Oregon became the first state to tax gasoline, at one cent per gallon. In 1922, French serial killer Henri Landru, convicted of murdering 10 women and the son of one of them, was executed in Versailles (vehr-SY’). In 1964, Eastern Airlines Flight 304, a DC-8, crashed shortly after taking off from New Orleans International Airport, killing all 58 on board. Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) became world heavyweight boxing champion as he defeated Sonny Liston in Miami Beach. In 1983, playwright Tennessee Williams was found dead in his New York hotel suite; he was 71. In 1991, during the Persian Gulf War, 28 Americans were killed when an Iraqi Scud missile hit a U.S. barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. In 1994, American-born Jewish settler Baruch Goldstein opened fire with an automatic rifle inside the Tomb of the Patriarchs in the West Bank, killing 29 Muslims before he was beaten to death by worshippers. At the Winter Olympics in Norway, Oksana Baiul of Ukraine won the gold medal in ladies’ figure skating while Nancy Kerrigan won the silver and Chen Lu of China the bronze; Tonya Harding came in eighth. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama introduced former Washington Gov. Gary Locke as his nominee for commerce secretary after two earlier choices dropped out. A Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 crashed while trying to land at Amsterdam’s main airport, but 126 of the people on board survived; nine were killed, including the pilots. Five years ago: In a blunt warning to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, President Barack Obama threatened to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014 if a crucial security pact wasn’t signed. (U.S. and Afghan officials signed the pact in Sept. 2014.) Jim Lange, the first host of the popular game show “The Dating Game,” died in Mill Valley, California, at age 81. One year ago: China’s official news agency said the country’s ruling Communist Party had proposed scrapping term limits for China’s president, appearing to lay the groundwork for Xi Jinping to rule as president beyond 2023. (China’s rubber-stamp lawmakers approved that change on March 11.) The board of directors of The Weinstein Company, co-founded by Harvey Weinstein, said the company would likely file for bankruptcy after last-ditch talks to sell its assets collapsed. (A private equity firm emerged in May as the winning bidder for the company.) Students at the Florida high school where 17 classmates and staff members were killed returned to gather belongings that had been abandoned in panic during the shooting. The Winter Olympics in South Korea came to an end as officials from North and South Korea shared a VIP box at the closing ceremonies with U.S. presidential adviser and first daughter Ivanka Trump. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Ann McCrea is 88. Actor Tom Courtenay is 82. Former CBS newsman Bob Schieffer is 82. Actress Diane Baker is 81. Actress Karen Grassle is 77. Former talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael is 77. Former professional wrestler Ric Flair is 70. Humorist Jack Handey is 70. Movie director Neil Jordan is 69. Rock singer-musician/actor John Doe (X) is 66. Rock musician Dennis Diken (The Smithereens) is 62. Rock singer-musician Mike Peters (The Alarm; Big Country) is 60. Actress Veronica Webb is 54. Actor Alexis Denisof is 53. Actress Tea (TAY’-ah) Leoni is 53. Comedian Carrot Top is 52. Actress Lesley Boone is 51. Actor Sean Astin is 48. Singer Daniel Powter is 48.

Actress Rashida Jones is 43. Country singer Shawna Thompson (Thompson Square) is 41. Actor Justin Berfield is 33. Actors James and Oliver Phelps (“Harry Potter” movies) are 33. Actress Jameela Jamil is 33. Rock musician Erik Haager (Carolina Liar) is 32. Thought for Today: “He who never leaves his country is full of prejudices.” -- Carlo Goldoni, Italian playwright (born this date in 1707, died 1793).
