In the news Australia-based company to gain control of Fairbanks mine FAIRBANKS — Ownership of a large gold mine southeast of Fairbanks is being transferred to an Australia-based gold mining company.

Japan-based Sumitomo Metal Mining Co. and Sumitomo Corp. are transferring full ownership of the underground mine in Delta Junction to Northern Star Resources Ltd., receiving $260 million in compensation for the transfer, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported last week.

The companies have agreed to the deal that’s expected to go through in October, the companies said in a joint statement.

“By investing in exploration and development, we are confident we can grow the inventory, production and mine life for the benefit of the mine’s employees, contractors, the local community and our shareholders,” said Bill Beament, the executive chairman of Northern Star.

The mine produces about 300,000 ounces (8,500 kilograms) of gold each year, resulting in more than 3.8 million ounces (108,000 kilograms) mined since opening in 2006. It employs 320 direct workers and about 150 contractors.

The mine’s current life expectancy runs through 2020.

Northern Star is planning to invest in a “targeted intensive drilling program” to extend the mine’s life, according to company documents.

Juneau plans to replace diesel bus fleet with electric JUNEAU — Juneau officials say the city is planning to replace its fleet of diesel buses with electric buses over the next decade.

KTOO Public Media in Juneau reports the city and borough is planning to help fund the purchase of the electric bus and charging equipment through a recently awarded $1.5 million federal grant.

An electric bus the city is buying from Proterra is expected to be put into service by late next year. Another electric bus is expected to be into use in 2022.

Capital Transit Superintendent Ed Foster says electric buses cost about twice as much as diesel buses, but the cost will be offset with the grant funding.

As Kachemak Selo school ages, board officials, community discuss solutions

By MEGAN PACER Homer News

It’s a problem that’s been slowly growing for decades.

It’s a problem that’s not going to be cheap to solve. And it’s a problem the Kenai Peninsula Borough can no longer afford to ignore, according to borough government, school district and legislative representatives.

Kachemak Selo needs a new school.

Last Thursday during a community meeting, those representatives and local parents and teachers filled one of the larger rooms of Kachemak Selo School’s middle-high school building, situated more or less in the center of the Russian Old Believer village 30 miles east of Homer at the head of Kachemak Bay. The attendees included Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce, Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Superintendent Sean Dusek, the southern peninsula’s two Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly representatives Kelly Cooper and Willy Dunne, School Board member Zen Kelly, a former principal of the school and more. They were all there to talk about the state of a proposed project to build Kachemak Selo a new school, something the community has been working on for years and that the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development approved last year through a state grant program.

The next step in the process is getting borough residents from Homer to Nikiski and

Seward to vote for footing the bill — approximately $5.4 million in general obligation bonds to be paid back by the borough through property taxes. Because the entire borough backs the bond, all borough voters have to be asked for approval.

The problem At least one of Kachemak Selo School’s three buildings was repurposed from a residential home. All three of the

buildings were only ever meant to be temporary school facilities, said Borough Assembly member Cooper, but have been in use for decades and are past their useful life, according to representatives of the school district.

Feodora Reutov, 47, moved to the village when she was just 7, which means she’s been watching the buildings deteriorate over the last 40 years.

Reutov was there when members of the community physically dragged one of the two elementary school buildings across the village into its current position. She attended Kachemak Selo through high school, then put her five children through school in the same buildings. Now, two of her grandchildren will be educated in the same buildings as she was — buildings that are sub-

ject to periodic flooding, drafts in the winter and shifting with the ground.

“It’s been dragging forever,” Reutov said of the process to get a new facility. “I would be so excited if they would start on the school.”

Facebook adds Inupiaq language to translation tool

By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE — Britt’Nee Brower grew up in a largely Inupiat Eskimo town in Alaska’s far north, but English was the only language spoken at home.

Today, she knows a smattering of Inupiaq from childhood language classes at school in the community of Utqiagvik.

Brower even published an Inupiaq coloring book last year featuring the names of common animals of the region. But she hopes to someday speak fluently by practicing her ancestral language in a daily, modern setting.

The 29-year-old Anchorage woman has started to do just that with a new Inupiaq lan-

guage option that recently went live on Facebook for those who employ the social media giant’s community translation tool.

Launched a decade ago, the tool has allowed users to translate bookmarks, action buttons and other functions in more than 100 languages around the globe.

For now, Facebook is being translated into Inupiaq only on its website, not its app.

“I was excited,” Brower says of her first time trying the feature, still a work in progress as Inupiaq words are slowly added. “I was thinking, ‘I’m going to have to bring out my Inupiaq dictionary so I can learn.’ So I did.”

Facebook users can submit requests to translate the site’s

vast interface workings — the buttons that allow users to like, comment and navigate the site — into any language through crowdsourcing. With the interface tool, it’s the Facebook users who do the translating of words and short phrases. Words are confirmed through crowd up-and-down voting.

Besides the Inupiaq option, Cherokee and Canada’s Inuktut are other indigenous languages in the process of being translated, according to Facebook spokeswoman Arielle Argyres.

“It’s important to have these indigenous languages on the internet. Oftentimes they’re nowhere to be found,” she said.

“So much is carried through language — tradition, culture — and so in the digital world,

US officials open public comment period on Alaska roadless rule JUNEAU (AP) — Trees soon may be cut down in Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, and federal officials want the public’s input on the matter.

A new rulemaking process for an Alaska—specific version of the Roadless Rule — which prevents timber harvest and the building of roads on 0.01 million square miles of roadless lands in southeast Alaska — is now open for public comment.

A notice published last week in the Federal Register, the official journal of the federal government, opens the first official venue for the pub-

lic to voice its opinion on what opening up new land to timber harvest would mean for the region and the state, the Juneau Empire reported .

“By working together, we can ensure that this rule helps provide more economic opportunity for Alaskans while sustaining the health, diversity and productivity of the Tongass National Forest,” Tongass Supervisor Earl Stewart said in a prepared statement.

About 45 percent of the 0.03-million-square-mile Tongass National Forest isn’t open to timber harvest or the construction or reconstruction

of roads under the Roadless Rule. About 20 percent of that total is Congress-designated wilderness blocked from development even under a modified roadless rule.

A new Roadless Rule just for Alaska hasn’t yet been written, but it’s intended to open up some of this land to timber harvest. Forest managers are shopping the idea in a series of seven public meetings.

The first public meeting is scheduled for Sept. 13 in Juneau. The specific location has yet to be determined.

being able to translate from that environment is really important.”

The Inupiaq language is spoken in northern Alaska and

the Seward Peninsula. According to the University of Alaska Fairbanks, about 13,500 Inupiat live in the state, with about See TOOL, page A6

Sitka wildlife officials work to coax stray Steller sea lion ANCHORAGE (AP) — Wildlife officials came up with a new plan to try and coax a Steller sea lion back to the ocean after it had been shuffling through neighborhoods in Sitka since Friday.

Officials were planning Sunday to construct a passageway of tarps and boards to keep the adult male sea lion from seeing people, hoping the blinds would put him at ease and direct him back to sea, the Anchorage Daily News reported .

The sea lion was “hiding out in the woods” on Japonski Island on Sunday morning, said Julie Speegle, a spokeswoman with the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration.

It was first spotted on a Sitka road Friday morning before waddling to various sites over the weekend.

“At this point he’s likely stressed, dehydrated and hungry,” Speegle said. “And scared and frightened because of all the activity around him.”

NOAA wildlife officials were working with Sitka police and firefighters to direct the animal away from people and back to the water. Some watched over him Saturday night, Speegle said.

Officials have avoided tranquilizing the sea lion because an adult male can weigh up to 1,700 pounds, Speegle said.

What Others Say

Trump’s threat to tech companies is an alarming government overreach President Trump fired off an angry Twitter broadside against Google before the sun rose Tuesday, accusing the search company of skewing its results in favor of “fake news” outlets at the expense of conservative ones. Relying on reporting from the rightof-center PJ Media site, Trump asserted that Google had “rigged” its search results to “shut out” stories about him from conservative and “fair media” outlets.

He went on to broaden his accusation: “Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!”

Not long thereafter, Larry Kudlow, Trump’s top economic advisor, told reporters that “we’re taking a look at it.”

It doesn’t take much of a look to recognize what’s going on here. Famously thin-skinned, Trump doesn’t like the barrage of criticism he’s getting online, much of it delivered in the form of news and opinion pieces from the country’s mainstream media. So in addition to trying to discredit those outlets as “fake news,” he’s now trying to sow distrust in the search engine that leads people to them — and, worse yet, threatening to take action against them.

Yet Trump has company on this issue. It’s become an article of faith in some conservative circles that tech companies are warping their products and services to discriminate against conservatives. Among other pieces of evidence, these critics point to incidents on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter that, they argue, show companies disproportionately downgrading or blocking content from conservatives. …

For its part, Google insists that its only goal is to deliver relevant search results, and that its engineers “never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment.”

The company won’t say exactly how its continually updated search technology does work, however — that’s a closely guarded trade secret.

Still, there’s an easy way to judge whether Google has, in fact, cleverly rigged its search engine to elevate bad news about the president over the hosannas of a grateful nation. Search for Trump news on another site — Microsoft’s Bing, say, or DuckDuckGo — and compare the results with Google’s. There will be differences on the margins, but the thrust will be the same. Most of the results will come from mainstream news outlets with large audiences.

Users have to dig a little deeper to unearth links to smaller or more specialized sites. But will they bother?

That’s one of the things that critics of the tech platforms assert: The vast majority of internet users rely on the shortcuts that these platforms provide, and won’t bother to hunt for the stories and tweets — conservative, liberal or otherwise — that don’t get promoted.

Research bears that out, at least for Google, where 95% of users don’t look past the first page of links.

Don’t blame Google for that. If anything, it’s a sign of a worrisome lack of curiosity among internet users and an apparent disinterest in diverse information sources. …

Admittedly, Google’s search algorithm doesn’t rank sites purely on the basis of popularity and authenticity.

European regulators fined the company more than $2.8 billion last year for favoring its own shopping service over competing comparison-shopping sites. But the company doesn’t claim to be neutral — it claims to offer results that are relevant, which tells users that it’s doing some kind of filtering.

Some conservatives are calling on the government to use antitrust law against Google and other tech giants that dominate their markets. But Trump seems to be calling for something different: Using the power of government to change how Google’s technology works. Such a big-government solution, turning Washington into a manipulator of search results, would be worse than the supposed problem it purports to solve. The president should stop Googling himself and pay more attention to the duties of his office.

Bipartisanship or caving in?

In the days following the death of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), there have been mournful cries lamenting the lack of bipartisanship for which his eulogizers and friends claim he stood.

Dictionary.com defines bipartisan this way: “representing, characterized by, or including members from two parties or factions.”

If only.

To Democrats and the left, bipartisanship is when Republicans give in to their demands and vote in favor of their legislation. McCain most famously did that when he first supported Obamacare and then cast the deciding vote against its repeal. Many conservatives viewed his vote as payback for President Trump’s criticism of him.

Can anyone recall when Democrats exhibited bipartisanship? Has a contemporary Democrat member of Congress voted to preserve human life in the womb at any stage? How many Democrats supported the Trump agenda of lower taxes? How many supported his overturning regulations that hampered business growth? Though both policies appear to be working, Democrats refuse to say so.

Republicans demonstrated more bipartisanship, which some have called “caving in” than Democrats and they have gotten nothing for it, certainly no favorable editorials from major newspapers and their columnists.

Examples abound. Here’s just one. In 2015, under the Breitbart.com headline “(Senate Minority Leader Mitch) McCon-

nell Caves, But (Majority Leader Harry) Reid, Wants Full Surrender From (Speaker John) Boehner As Well,” there was this: “Republican leadership in the Senate is fully caving to the demands of Democratic Cal Thomas lawmakers calling for a so-called “clean” Department of Homeland Security funding bill that leaves President Obama’s executive amnesty intact…”

The several government “shutdowns” caused many Republicans to cave as Democrats and their media allies falsely claimed the elderly would be denied their Social Security checks and national parks would close.

Between the Reagan and Trump administrations, Republicans feared cutting taxes because of Democrat charges they were “insensitive” and hated government. When President George H.W. Bush caved on his promise not to raise taxes in exchange for Democrats cutting spending, he got nothing for abandoning his supposed “read my lips” pledge.

Throughout the Obama administration, Republicans behaved like deer caught in headlights, reluctant to oppose much of what the president wanted for fear of being branded “racists.”

Bipartisanship should at the very least mean putting country ahead of self and the

public before re-election efforts. That’s the ideal, but as I have said before, the only place you will find a politician with convictions these days is in prison.

As long as re-election and donor pandering are the primary concerns of most politicians, there can be no meaningful bipartisanship.

Republicans should focus more on winning the economic, social, foreign policy and political arguments and worry less about whether they are liked. Electoral victory followed by policies that work and promote the general welfare are more important than being praised for a willingness to compromise with a party whose principles so often diverge from theirs.

When John McCain ran for president, Democrats didn’t praise his bipartisanship.

Rep. John Lewis, (D-Ga.), who now praises McCain in death, said during his 2008 campaign that McCain’s campaign rallies reminded him of those for the segregationist Alabama Governor George Wallace, a Democrat by the way. Lewis later claimed his remarks were “misinterpreted,” which is hard to believe, whether you read them in or out of context.

I’m all for getting along with the “other side,” but that side has to be willing to meet in the middle and give something in return.

Democrats don’t do that. Instead, they use the word bipartisan as a weapon, not a tool and too many Republicans have gotten their pockets picked as a result.

$30 million poured into young voter effort

By SCOTT BAUER Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — Democrats know who their voters are. They just have to figure out how to get them to the polls in November — and that’s where the puppies come in.

Students returning to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus this summer were greeted by therapy dogs for petting.

Those lured by the chance to ruffle a dog’s ears were then asked to register to vote — a “Pups to the Polls” gimmick that was just one of several similar events being staged in 11 battleground states by the liberal group NextGen America.

Young people tend to vote for Democrats, but they also tend stay away during midterm elections. It’s a perennial frustration for the party — one they are trying to overcome as they seek to take control of Congress.

NextGen America, formed by billionaire activist Tom Steyer, hopes to be a game changer. Steyer is investing more than $30 million in what’s believed to be the largest voter engagement effort of its kind in U.S. history.

The push to register and get pledges from college students to vote is focusing on states such as Wisconsin, Virginia, California and North Carolina with competitive races for Congress, U.S. Senate and other offices.

NextGen sees young voters such as Kellen Sharp as key to flipping targeted seats from red to blue.

“The outcome of this election definitely affects us,” said Sharp, an 18-year-old freshman from Milwaukee who stopped to register during the dog event the week before classes started. “I’m just excited to have a voice and say something.”

A poll this summer by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV found that most Americans ages 15 to 34 think voting in the midterm elections gives their generation some say about how the government is run. The

poll found young people eager to vote for someone who shared their political views on issues such as health care and immigration policy. They expressed far less excitement about voting for a candidate described as a lifelong politician.

“If we all vote, we can make a change,” said 20-year-old Grace Austin, who stopped to pet the dogs at the Wisconsin event and wound up registering to vote.

Austin and other college students who registered said they feel like their friends are more interested in politics than ever before — boosting hopes of Democrats trying to reverse the trend of declining youth participation in midterm elections.

“We want them to know they need to show up and when they do, we will win,” said NextGen’s Wisconsin director George Olufosoye. “We want them to know they have power.”

They certainly have the numbers.

Since the last midterm election in 2014, 15 million post-millennials — those between the ages of 18 and 21 — have become eligible to vote. But while Generation X, millennials and post-millennials make up the majority of voting-eligible adults nationwide, they are not expected to cast the most votes in November.

In the 2014 midterm, they cast 21 million fewer votes than voters over age 54, according to an analysis by the Pew Research Center. Turnout among 18- to 24-year-olds hit a 40-year low in 2014, bottoming out at 17.1 percent, according to an analysis by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, or CIRCLE, at Tufts University.

NextGen points to higher voter turnout on the University of Wisconsin campus for a spring state Supreme Court election won by a liberal, and spikes in turnout in other targeted races, to argue that their push to register 122,000 young people to vote is bearing fruit.

“We’re trying really hard to have this be much more of an infrastructure, organiza-

tional thing than a two-month campaign,” NextGen founder Tom Steyer said in an interview. “We’re trying to get the broadest possible democracy, the biggest representation.”

More media coverage of competitive races, combined with energy from the March for Our Lives movement that seeks stricter gun laws, has empowered young voters and made them “feel like it’s time to have their voice heard about what happens to their generation,” said Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg, director of CIRCLE. That’s what NextGen hopes. It has nearly 800 organizers on 421 college campuses in Wisconsin, Arizona, California, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

In Wisconsin alone, NextGen has 27 fulltime workers and 40 student fellows registering voters on 26 campuses.

Republicans recognize the power that motivating young voters could have for Democrats, but they’re skeptical that participation will increase much. In Wisconsin, Republicans have been targeting college voters for years.

“Wisconsin Republicans win by connecting with voters directly where they are — and young voters are no different when it comes to that strategy,” said Wisconsin Republican Party spokesman Alec Zimmerman.

Wisconsin has two of the nation’s competitive and closely watched races. Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin is being challenged by GOP state Sen. Leah Vukmir, while Republican Gov. Scott Walker faces a challenge from Democratic state schools chief Tony Evers. Polls show the races to be a dead heat — just the kind of competitive elections research shows excite younger voters.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said NextGen worker and 2016 University of Wisconsin graduate Joe Waldman. “I’ve never seen the energy, passion and activism there is now.”

Myanmar court sentences On Labor Day, Trump slams Reuters reporters to 7 years union leader who criticized him

By VICTORIA MILKO and AUNG NAING SOE Associated Press

YANGON, Myanmar — A Myanmar court sentenced two Reuters journalists to seven years in prison Monday on charges of illegal possession of official documents, a ruling met with international condemnation that will add to outrage over the military’s human rights abuses against Rohingya Muslims.

Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo had been reporting on the brutal crackdown on the Rohingya when they were arrested and charged with violating the colonial-era Official Secrets Act, punishable by up to 14 years in prison. They had pleaded not guilty, contending that they were framed by police.

“Today is a sad day for Myanmar, Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, and the press everywhere,” Stephen J. Adler, Reuters editorin-chief, said in a statement.

He said the charges were “designed to silence their reporting and intimidate the press.”

The case has drawn worldwide attention as an example of how democratic reforms in long-isolated Myanmar have stalled under the civilian government of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, which took power in 2016.

Though the military, which ruled the country for a half-century, maintains control of several key ministries, Suu Kyi’s rise to government had raised hopes for an accelerated transition to full democracy and her stance on the Rohingya crisis has disappointed many former admirers.

As the verdict was announced in the hot Yangon courtroom, Kyaw Soe Oo’s wife started crying, leaning into the lap of the person next to her.

Outside the court, police and journalists shouted as the two Reuters reporters were led to a truck to be taken away.

“This is unfair,” Wa Lone told the crowd. “I want to say they are obviously threatening our democracy and destroying freedom of the press in our country.”

Kevin Krolicki, Reuters regional editor for Asia, said outside the court that it was “heartbreaking for friends and colleagues and family of Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, who in addition to the outrage many will feel, are deprived of their friends and colleagues, husband and father.”

Wa Lone, 32, and Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, both testified they suffered from harsh treatment during their initial interrogations after their arrests last December. Their several appeals for

release on bail were rejected.

Wa Lone’s wife, Pan Ei Mon, gave birth to the couple’s first child in Yangon on Aug. 10, but Wa Lone has not yet seen his daughter.

The two journalists had been reporting last year on the brutal crackdown by security forces on the Rohingya in Myanmar’s Rakhine state. Some 700,000 Rohingya fled to neighboring Bangladesh to escape the violence targeting them after attacks by Rohingya militants killed a dozen members of the security forces.

Investigators working for the U.N.’s top human rights body said last week that genocide charges should be brought against senior Myanmar military officers over the crackdown.

The accusation of genocide was rejected by Myanmar’s

government, but is the most serious official recommendation for prosecution so far. Also last week, Facebook banned Myanmar’s powerful military chief and 19 other individuals and organizations from its site to prevent the spread of hate and misinformation in connection with the Rohingya crisis.

“Today’s verdict cannot conceal the truth of what happened in Rakhine state,” Tirana Hassan, Amnesty International’s director of crisis response, said in a statement Monday. “It’s thanks to the bravery of journalists like Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, that the military’s atrocities have been exposed. Instead of targeting these two journalists, the Myanmar authorities should have been going after those responsible for killings, rape, torture and the torching of hundreds of Rohingya villages.”

Philippines extricates warship that ran aground in South China Sea

By JIM GOMEZ Associated Press

MANILA — The Philippine Navy extricated one of its largest warships from the shoal where it ran aground last week near a hotly disputed region in the South China Sea. Two Philippine security officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday that tugboats were used to pull the BRP Gregorio del Pilar from the shallow fringes of Half Moon Shoal, which the Philippines calls Hasa Hasa, before midnight.

The frigate, which was being towed back to a Philippine port, ran aground during a routine patrol Wednesday night, damaging some of its propellers. Its more than 100 crewmen were unhurt.

The barren shoal is on the eastern edge of the disputed Spratly archipelago, where tensions have run high in recent

years after China built seven disputed reefs into man-made islands and reportedly installed missile defense systems.

Philippine defense officials notified their Chinese counterparts after the accidental grounding of the Philippine Navy frigate at the shoal, which Beijing claims, to avoid any misunderstanding, said the two Philippine officials, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the issue publicly.

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said last week that China offered to help but that the Philippines would handle it.

A Chinese frigate ran aground on the shoal in 2012 and was pulled away by Chinese military ships.

Half Moon Shoal lies about 110 kilometers (68 miles) from the southern tip of the western Philippine island of Palawan

Around the Nation US service member killed, another wounded in Afghanistan WASHINGTON — A U.S. service member has been killed and another wounded in an apparent insider attack in eastern Afghanistan, according to a statement Monday from the NATO-led Resolute Support mission.

Resolute Support and U.S. Forces-Afghanistan Commanding General Scott Miller says “the sacrifice of our service member, who volunteered for a mission to Afghanistan to protect his country is a tragic loss for all who knew and all who will now never know him.”

He added, “Our duty now is to honor him, care for his family and continue our mission.”

The statement said the service member was the sixth American killed in Afghanistan this year.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the administration was monitoring the situation and President Donald Trump had been briefed by Chief of Staff John Kelly.

The wounded service member was said to be in stable condition.

and south of the disputed Second Thomas Shoal, where a Philippine navy transport ship was intentionally grounded in 1999 and has since served as a Philippine military outpost.

China has repeatedly demanded the now-rusty BRP Sierra Madre be removed from Second Thomas Shoal, which is claimed by the Philippines and China.

A military report seen by the AP said the propellers of the BRP Gregorio del Pilar were damaged by the grounding.

The crew reported, however, that the frigate was not taking in water.

At least four Philippine Navy and Coast Guard ships were deployed to secure the BRP Gregorio del Pilar and provide food and other supplies to its sailors.

Tugboats were hired to extricate the ship, military spokesman Col. Noel Detoyato said.

The frigate is one of three

former U.S. Coast Guard cutters acquired by the Philippine military and are the Philippines’ largest warships.

The United States and Asian governments which have claims in the disputed sea, including the Philippines, have raised alarms over China’s island building and militarization of the strategic territory.

The Philippines has been one of the most vocal critics of China’s assertive moves in the disputed waters. In 2016, it largely won a complaint it lodged before an international tribunal, which invalidated Beijing’s sweeping territorial claims in the South China Sea. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, however, took steps to revive once-frosty ties with China after he took office in 2016 as he sought infrastructure funding and more trade and investment from Beijing.

75 hotel workers arrested at Labor Day protest in California SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco police say 75 hotel workers protesting outside the J. W. Marriott’s Westin St. Francis hotel on Labor Day were arrested for blocking a street in one of the city’s busiest tourist areas.

Unite Here Local 2 spokesman Ted Waechter says about 900 Marriott hotel workers demonstrated Monday at Union Square as they consider a vote to authorize a strike.

He says 8,000 workers in more than 50 hotels in San Francisco and six other North American cities are working without a contract.

Waechter says many hotel workers hold two jobs to support their families and their salaries have increased by 7 percent in a decade.

San Francisco Police spokeswoman Officer Grace Gatpandan says those arrested face misdemeanor charges of failing to obey a police officer.

Marriott did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump started his Labor Day with an attack on a top union leader, lashing out after criticism from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.

Trump tweeted Monday that Trumka “represented his union poorly on television this weekend.” He added: “It is easy to see why unions are doing so poorly. A Dem!” The president’s attack came after Trumka appeared on “Fox News Sunday” over the weekend where he said efforts to overhaul the North American Free Trade Agreement should include Canada.

Trumka, whose organization is an umbrella group for most unions, said the economies of the United States, Canada and Mexico are “integrated” and “it’s pretty hard to see how that would work without having Canada in the deal.”

Trump said Saturday on Twitter that there was “no political necessity” to keep Canada in NAFTA. But it’s questionable whether Trump can unilaterally exclude Canada from a deal to replace the three-nation NAFTA agreement, without the approval of Congress. Any such move would likely face lengthy legal and congressional challenges.

Trump administration negotiations to keep Canada in the reimagined trade bloc are to resume this week as Washington and Ottawa try to break a deadlock over issues such as Canada’s dairy market and U.S. efforts to shield drug companies from generic competition.

deal finalized by Dec. 1.

Trumka also said of Trump: “The things that he’s done to hurt workers outpace what he’s done to help workers,” arguing that Trump has not come through with an infrastructure program and has overturned regulations that “will hurt us on the job.”

Asked about the low unemployment rate and economic growth, Trumka said “those are good, but wages have been down since the first of the year. Gas prices have been up since the first of the year.

So, overall, workers aren’t doing as well.”

On Monday, Trump touted the economy, saying “Our country is doing better than ever before with unemployment setting record lows.”

He added, “The Worker in America is doing better than ever before. Celebrate Labor Day!” The unemployment rate of 3.9 percent is not at the best point ever — it is near the lowest in 18 years.

tour of both buildings used for K-5 students. She pointed out the spots most susceptible to flooding, where carpeting has had to be replaced several times. She also talked about the back door that teachers have to tie down frequently to keep it from being blown open by the wind, as well as the wall that literally lifts up and separates from the floor during winter.

“We’ve gone through two sets of books, carpets,” Greear said. “We used to have really cute gathering carpets. Those were ruined.”

The middle-high school building looked to be in slightly better shape on Thursday, though the floors still slanted, uncovered light bulbs lit the hallways and cracks ran up the walls to the ceiling. Jennifer Sorensen, a teacher there, remarked that it looked nice because things had recently been repaired and painted over. She said a visit in February, for example, would reveal an entirely different looking building.

Small repairs made every year provide bandages to the overall problem. State law prohibits the borough from housing students in an unsafe school building.

The project In order to solve this problem, Reutov said she and other community members have been involved in trying to update the school facilities for the last 17 years. More recently, the community petitioned the school board for a new facility in 2011, at which point the school district and borough started exploring solutions.

If Kachemak Selo was outside of borough boundaries, responsibility for ensuring a safe building would fall on the State of Alaska. Rep. Paul Seaton.

NP-Homer, said that if the bond for the local match is not approved by voters, the matter could end up in court because the borough won’t be allowed to keep housing students in the buildings.

That was the case with the new school funded, but not yet built, for Kivalina, which the state committed to building after a drawn-out lawsuit.

As representatives pointed out Thursday, boroughs are responsible for school buildings within their own boundaries, which Kachemak Selo School is.

The borough and school district originally pitched ideas for a combined school for all three villages, or working on a safe road for Kachemak Selo students to get to Homer. Those plans were ultimately scrapped.

and fiscal projects manager for the borough, said the work group looking into it found making the switchback trail leading down to the village into a real road would cost about $60 million. Borough staff decided the most feasible option would be to build Kachemak Selo its own new school.

Specifications for the new school were funded by a Community Development Block grant in 2013, and later approved by the Department of Education and Early Development during the Fiscal Year 2017 grant application process.

The state legislature approved a roughly $10 million match through the School Construction grant program in 2016, with that money coming from the state and a required local match of up to about $5.4 million. Seaton said the borough is getting the matching deal it did because, though Kachemak Selo School is within borough boundaries, it is technically off the road system.

Though the switchback trail is traversable by many types of vehicles — less so in the winter — it’s still just that, a trail. It’s not a borough-maintained road, Ahlberg said, and there is no legal access to safely transport students. There are no plans to upgrade the road to borough standards, Ahlberg said.

The actual proposed school will be 15,226 square feet located on about 8 acres at a site 3,000 feet east of the current elementary buildings. The facility is slated to include six classrooms, a multipurpose room, space for industrial arts and special needs, and a library.

The 8-acre site, called “East Site No. 2,” was selected by a committee formed through the borough, and would be sold to the borough by the current property owner. The three current school buildings are being leased by the borough.

Several people pointed out Thursday that a road leading from the current school buildings used for K-fifth grade to the new school site is included in the project and the price tag.

Ergo, borough residents would not only be voting for the new school facility by approving the bond, they would also be getting the road at the same time.

Borough and school district representatives at the meeting also talked about the price tag more in-depth. Some feedback from borough residents is that the project is too expensive for the number of students who attend the school. Assembly members have said the borough does not have the flexibility to change the proposed scope of the new school. Its size is dictated by a state statute based on the number of students in the building. All school buildings,

Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Superintendent Sean Dusek talks about project information the borough and school district have put online about the proposed new school for Kachemak Selo students during a community meeting Thursday in the village at the head of Kachemak Bay. Dusek and others emphasized that they are restricted by borough code in terms of what they are allowed to say or publish about the project the proposed general obligation bonds to pay for it, which borough residents will vote on in October.

no matter their enrollment, must to built to the same minimum state standards.

Reutov and some of the teachers present also pointed out that, though enrollment is hovering around 48 students right now, they believe that number will rise in the next few years.

“It’s going to be worth every penny,” she said. “Because my kids are buying properties here and houses, that have kids, they’re just starting. So there will be little kids coming in.”

The bond To pay for the school, the borough assembly approved a ballot proposition in June for this October’s election that asks voters to let the borough go out to bond for no more than $5,390,000. This amount constitutes the 35 percent local match stipulated by DEED when it awarded the grant.

Including charges incurred for bond transactions and the roughly $10 million being given by the state, the total project costs comes to just less than $15.5 million.

According to the ballot proposal language, it’s currently set to be a 20-year bond. If the bond passes, each borough resident will pay approximately $4.95 per $100,000 of assessed property value, or less than the cost of a six pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer at the Grogg Shop in Homer. That’s based on the borough’s Fiscal Year 2018 tax-

able assessed valuation, according to the borough web page on the project. Seniors and veterans who get the $300,000 assessment exemption on top of the $50,000 residential exemption would pay less.

Pierce said during the meeting that the borough hopes to realize savings along the way that will reduce the amount of the bond. People at the meeting also talked about the possibility of community members contracting to build the road to the new school themselves, a cost that could offset the total local match amount and also provide jobs to the community.

Seaton, who represents the area in the Alaska Legislature, spoke up during the meeting to give an overview of how this proposed project came about on the legislative level. He said the Kachemak Selo School was listed as the No. 1 priority on the list of major maintenance and grant projects for the state two years in a row.

“This was the highest priority for the state of Alaska,” he said.

The state grant to help fund the school will expire next year. Seaton said there’s an opportunity to get it extended, but that it wouldn’t be easy. If the grant expires, the borough would very likely be paying a greater local match amount for a future project that would get reimbursed by the state, Seaton said.

“This program that has $10 million coming upfront from the state is the best deal that can be anticipated from state reimbursement for this needed school that the borough is going to be required to do, because you can’t house kids in unsafe conditions,” he said.”

The last school in the borough to be built through bonding was Seward Middle School, with that bond being approved in the 2002 borough election. Borough voters approved up to $14.7 million for the project. On the southern peninsula, West Homer Elementary School was paid for in the same way after voters approved a roughly $11.7 million in general obligation bonds in 1994. Adjusted for inflation, the West Homer bonds would be about $20 million today.

“If it (the bond) doesn’t go through, this school will have to be built anyway,” Seaton said. “This borough cannot have these conditions for these students. In that case, you would have to bond for the entire $15 million.”

As several people at Thursday’s meeting pointed out, both the borough and the school district are prohibited from directly promoting the project or a certain vote on the bond proposition. Borough code restricts any information about the project published by the borough to be purely informational, said Brenda Ahlberg, community

and fiscal projects manager for the borough.

Those curious about the proposed project can visit www. kpb.us/kselo for information on the proposed new school site, the bond proposition ballot language, and how the borough arrived at its project plan based on isolation and transportation issues.

Other individuals who are restricted in what they can say publicly about the proposed project include assembly members, members of the borough government and staff, and those employed by the school district. To that end, a community outreach group has been formed to handle outreach and promotion of the project. It will be headed by Tim Whip, the former regional principal for Kachemak Selo and Razdolna Schools. Since he retired last year, he is not restricted from promoting the measure, and has four years experience with the school.

Community members like Reutov remain hopeful. Several made their way toward a registrar at one end of the room after Thursday’s meeting in order to get registered to vote.

“I don’t doubt it. I feel like it’s going to happen,” Reutov said. “I never actually gave up. It’s been 15 years, 16 years now? So we’ve kept on going.”

Inupiatun option.

Facebook opened a translation portal for the language in March 2017. It was then up to users to provide the translations through crowdsourcing.

Creed, 29, a linguistics graduate student at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, is not Inupiat, and neither is Magdanz, 24. But they grew up around the language and its people, and wanted to promote its use for today’s world.

“I’ve been given so much by the community I grew up in, and I want to be able to give back in some way,” said Creed, who is learning Inupiaq.

Both see the Facebook op-

tion as a small step against predictions that Alaska’s Native languages are heading toward extinction under their present rate of decline.

“It has to be part of everyone’s daily life. It can’t be this separate thing,” Magdanz said. “People need the ability to speak it in any medium that they use, like they would English or Spanish.”

Initially, Creed relied on volunteer translators, but that didn’t go fast enough. In January, he won a $2,000 mini grant from the Alaska Humanities Forum to hire two fluent Inupiat translators. While a language is in the process of being

translated, only those who use the translation tool are able to see it.

Creed changed his translation settings last year. But it was only weeks ago that his home button finally said “Aimaagvik,” Inupiaq for home.

“I was really ecstatic,” he said.

So far, only a fraction of the vast interface is in Inupiaq. Part of the holdup is the complexity of finding exact translations, according to the Inupiaq translators who were hired with the grant money.

Take the comment button, which is still in English.

There’s no one-word-fits-all in Inupiaq for “comment,” according to translator Pausauraq Jana Harcharek, who heads Inupiaq education for Alaska’s North Slope Borough. Is the word being presented in the form of a question, or a statement or an exclamatory sentence?

“Sometimes it’s so difficult to go from concepts that don’t exist in the language to arriving at a translation that communicates what that particular English word might mean,” Harcharek said.

Translator Muriel Hopson said finding the right translation ultimately could require two or three Inupiaq words.

The 58-year-old Anchorage woman grew up in the village of Wainwright, where she was raised by her grandparents. Inupiaq was spoken in the home, but it was strictly prohibited at the village school run by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs, Hopson said.

She wonders if she’s among the last generation of Inupiaq speakers. But she welcomes the new Facebook option as a promising way for young people to see the value Inupiaq brings as a living language.

“Who doesn’t have a Facebook account when you’re a millennial?” she said. “It can only help.”

Federer upset at US Open

Sports Briefs DeChambeau wins again NORTON, Mass. — Bryson DeChambeau plays golf differently from everyone else and is getting the results everyone wants.

It doesn’t take a scientist to figure that out.

For the second straight week in the richest part of the PGA Tour season, DeChambeau took down one of the strongest fields of the year by playing his best golf on the weekend to win the Dell Technologies Championship, becoming only the second player to capture the opening two playoff events in the FedEx Cup. He closed with a 4-under 67 on Monday, making three straight birdies to close out the front nine and keeping his distance the rest of the way for a two-shot victory over Justin Rose on the TPC Boston.

“I wouldn’t have written it any better, to be honest with you,” DeChambeau said. “I’ve been playing some great golf this whole year. And I knew it was a matter of time before something cool showed up.”

Vijay Singh won the opening two FedEx Cup events in 2008, when the points system was different and points were not reset before the final playoff event. That allowed Singh to effectively wrap up the $10 million prize early.

Virginia Tech throttles LSU TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Virginia Tech and coach Justin Fuente notched another season-opening victory against a ranked team.

Florida State and Willie Taggart delivered the program’s most inept offensive performance at home in a decade, hardly the start Taggart had hoped for with the Seminoles.

Needless to say, it was easy to tell which Atlantic Coast Conference heavyweight looked like a title contender Monday night.

Josh Jackson threw two touchdown passes, one early and another late, and the 20th-ranked Hokies handled No. 19 Florida State 24-3 in the rain to spoil Taggart’s debut in Tallahassee.

“It certainly wasn’t perfect by any means, but to play as intelligent as we did, I am proud,” said Fuente, who beat then-No. 22 West Virginia to open 2017.

CIA soccer keeps untainted record By staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team went 3-0 on a weekend road trip to move to 6-0 overall and in the Borealis Conference.

CIA started the trip Thursday by traveling to Healy and defeating Tri-Valley 4-1, with Hunter Moos notching a hat trick for the third consecutive game.

The game was played in rainy and windy conditions, which helped Tri-Valley in the first half. But it was Moos, on a pass from James Anderson, scoring in the sixth minute.

In the 18th minute, Warriors goalkeeper Sebastian Eavy denied Moos on a breakaway and fired up his side. In the 22nd minute, Dalton Randall scored from 25 yards to even the game.

The second half belonged to CIA. Sophie Nelson started the half by beating her defenders and putting a shot on net, with Moos putting in the rebound.

Only minutes later, Jiabao Leaf found Moos with a long ball for a 3-1 lead and another hat trick. In the 64th minute, Adara Warren finished the scoring with her first league goal of the season.

Goalkeeper Lucas Cragg kept the Warriors off the board in the second half.

Friday, CIA coach Kenny Leaf wrote in an email that his squad was glad Nenana was nice enough to come to Healy to take on the Eagles.

Cook Inlet was able to secure a 10-3 victory with Cobe Young notching a hat trick.

Sophie Nelson, assisted by Moos, got the scoring started in the first minute, then Nenana had an own goal on a Moos cross for a 2-0 game just six minutes in.

In the 11th minute, Sophie Nelson scored on another assist from Moos, while the 19th minute saw Addie Nelson score on a Moos helper. Moos had a four-game goal streak end, but it came in a game where he had four assists.

By the 25th minute, CIA was up 6-0 when Adara Warren scored unassisted and Annika Castenholz scored on an assist from Jamie Hyatt.

Leaf said he has a roster of 27 players, and the game was a good chance to get some other players playing time.

Nenana did score twice before the end of the half to make it 6-2.

The second half quickly became the Young show when he scored in the 43rd, 45th and 50th minutes for a 9-2 lead.

One of the goals was assisted

by Alex Van de Grift.

“Cobe has been playing very well for us,” Leaf wrote in an

email. “It was very exciting to see him find the back of the net today.”

In the 55th minute, Castenholz punctuated the victory when she scored on a full volley off a corner kick by Sophie Nelson.

“Annika continues to surprise us, and that goal will be one of the brightest highlights of our season,” Leaf wrote.

Nenana scored on a late penalty kick.

Saturday, CIA traveled to Delta Junction and pulled out a 3-1 victory over the Huskies.

In the 22nd minute, Moos got back to his scoring ways when he took a ball from James Anderson and fought through a tackle for a 1-0 lead.

Leaf told his team at halftime the game was far from over, and in the 47th minute Luke Schmidt proved him right by knotting the score at 1.

Leaf said his team stayed patient and focused on possession, and that paid off in the 55th minute when Addie Nelson scored. In the 70th minute, Anderson delivered another assist when Linnaea Dohse finished his cross at the near post.

This weekend, CIA heads right back to Healy for the TriValley Soccer Tournament on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Soccer CIA at Tri-Valley Soccer Tournament in Healy

NEW YORK (AP) — Roger Federer served poorly. Closed poorly, too. And now he’s gone, beaten at the U.S. Open by an opponent ranked outside the top 50 for the first time in his career.

Looking slow and tired on a sweltering night in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the No. 2-seeded Federer double-faulted 10 times, failed to convert a trio of set points and lost 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7), 7-6 (3) in the fourth round to John Millman in a match that began Monday and concluded at nearly 1 a.m. on Tuesday.

It’s only the second time in

Federer’s past 14 appearances at the U.S. Open that he’s lost before the quarterfinals. He is, after all, a five-time champion at the tournament, part of his men’srecord haul of 20 Grand Slam titles.

“I have so much respect for Roger and everything he’s done for the game. He’s been a hero of mine, and today he was definitely not at his best,” Millman said, “but, you know, I’ll take it.”

So much for that highly anticipated matchup between Federer and 13-time major champion Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals.

Instead, it’ll be the 55th-ranked Millman, an Australian who had never made it past the third round at a Slam until last week, taking on No. 6 seed Djokovic.

Millman was adamant he would not be intimidated by Federer, and perhaps was helped by having spent time practicing together a few months ago ahead of the grass-court portion of this season.

Still, this was a stunner. Not simply because Federer lost — he entered the day 28-0 at the U.S. Open, and 127-1 in all Grand Slam matches, against

foes below No. 50 in the ATP rankings — but how he lost.

Start with this: Federer held two set points while serving for the second at 5-4, 40-15 and did not pull through. Millman knew that was the turning point.

“I felt like a bit of a deer in headlights to begin with, to be honest with you. The feet weren’t moving. Roger had me on a string. He was manipulating me around the court,” Millman said. “But I got out of a tough second set and really found my feet and started to be a little bit more aggressive.”

Crossword

Options abound for retiree’s wife to join his explorations seeing Mt. Rushmore again!

-- TRAVELER, WITH A CAPITAL “T” DEAR ABBY: The husband could rent an RV to travel. His wife doesn’t want to be cooped up, and an RV would have a living room, couch, TV/DVD, an onboard toilet, separate bedroom and a small kitchen. In other words, it would be like she’s still at home, only moving.

The couple could even arrange Abigail Van Buren other transportation at their destinations.

-- TOM Z. IN LAS VEGAS DEAR ABBY: My husband and I were married 10 years when we discussed the destinations on our travel bucket lists. Mine included a road trip to Utah to see the canyons; he wanted a cruise to the war memorials in Hawaii. Neither of us was interested in the other’s trip, so he took his adult daughter on the cruise, and three girlfriends and I took the road trip. We both had wonderful times, took tons of photos to share, and came back with lots to talk about. My motto is, don’t put off something you really want to do.

-- CLAIRE G. OUT WEST DEAR ABBY: Maybe they could take shorter trips if her objection is the car travel. Or they could fly to a desti-

nation, rent a car and see the sights. They could even take a train trip across the country. That wife should be grateful they are both physically able to travel and spend precious time together.

-- WISH I COULD IN TEXAS DEAR ABBY: My oldest grandson was my traveling companion. When he was 5, we took a long bus trip, and the other times I drove. He was a better traveler than I was.

We had marvelous adventures and built wonderful memories. These usually were trips from California to Montana, North Dakota or Minnesota to visit other family members, but we were flexible with our time and would take side jaunts when we came upon a site that looked interesting.

Perhaps “Headed” could do this on a rotating basis with his grandchildren.

-- KAY F. BEHIND THE WHEEL DEAR ABBY: As a minister, I have advised women like “Headed’s” wife. I said, “Eventually one of you will get sick. If it’s him, you may spend years caring for him, regretting that you never took the trip. And if you’re the one whose health fails, he will put you in a nursing home and take the trip!” Most of them relented, took the trip and enjoyed it. One couple lived another 15 years and told me repeatedly they appreciated my advice.

-- REV. JIM IN PHOENIX Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby. com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2018: This year you naturally zero in on your friends and associates. You also are determined to create much more of what you want. Once you are committed, you could be difficult to stop. If you are single, your inner circle of friends will expand. In the later part of the year, someone of interest heads in your direction. If you are attached, the two of you could become quite the team when you’re both focused. Your sweetie lights up your life. CANCER appreciates how logical you can be.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your positive energy warms up many of your associates.

The unexpected keeps the moment exciting. Use your creativity to light up your day. Build on more solid ground. Someone could think you are overly serious, when really you are just determined. Tonight: Head home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You speak your mind, and others respond with a great deal of energy. You still experience a surprise when several associates express their ideas. You might want to get fewer opinions from this group.

You do not always want agreement, either. Tonight: Chat away with a friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might be energized from recent events. Slow down and be practical. Look clearly at an aspect of your life that you wish could be different. Listen to news more openly, and decide to make an ad-

Rubes

justment in this area to improve the quality of your life. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH The Moon drops into your sign, adding to your allure and magnetism. At the same time, you could experience fatigue and some moodiness. You might go through your natural ups and downs more rapidly than normal. Know that everything will work out. Tonight: Take the lead.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might want to lie back and observe more. You might catch a whiff of a matter that needs to be kept hush-hush. Be smart, ask little, and simply be aware. You won’t get all of the facts or the full tale today, but you will soon enough. Tonight: Take a nap, then decide.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Zero in on your priorities.

You might be able to pull white rabbits from a black hat. There could be an upset in your day, so stay centered. You know what you are doing.

A loved one might be overly serious.

Be sensitive to this person’s needs.

Tonight: Relax and be more playful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You have a way about you that attracts others. You seem to be the centerpiece of many people’s days. Screen calls, and handle only what you must. The more you achieve, the more relaxed you will be. Take some time to network. Tonight: Count on going till the wee hours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH If you hit a snafu, reach out to the experts. You also might want to do some research. Do not let this obstacle stop you. Gain a better sense of direction by detaching. Trust

your judgment, despite another person’s negativity. You know what to do.

Tonight: Treat your mind to a movie.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Relate closely to a loved one or key associate. You want this person to be in the know, and you would appreciate knowing what is on his or her mind. You seek to strengthen the bond. You also need to ask an outside party for his or her opinion. Tonight: A relaxed dinner for two.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might not be aware of your mood. You could feel less than upbeat when dealing with daily matters. Once you know where you stand, you might consider taking part of the day or several days off. Clearly, your relationships are being impacted. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Your ability to get past a problem amazes others. Your mood could be off, or you might be distracted. Let go of a hassle, at least for several hours. You might need to dote on yourself and worry less about others right now. Take a few days off. Tonight: Do whatever feels right!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Try to understand what is being said to you, as it isn’t as clear as you’d like it to be. The source of this info might be acting unusual. Listen and decide on the most effective way of responding. You do not need to go mum or avoid this person. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

CART CAUTION Dear Heloise: Many stores keep their shopping carts in the hot sun. Driving through a lot one day, I was horrified to see an adult place a baby with nothing on her legs in a cart.

My hint: Check the temperature of the seat of shopping carts before placing a child in it, lest the child get burned, especially if the child’s legs are bare. Or bring something to pad the seat, even for older children.

-- Gloria P., Riverside, Calif.

CUSHY KOOZIE Hi, Heloise: This hint is for those of us who fumble with a cellphone. Everyone has a beverage koozie lying around. It can be a flexible, lightweight, perfectly sized, padded “holster” for a cellphone in your pocket.

The phone stays well-positioned, slides out smoothly, prevents hitting apps, helps protect if dropped and gives you a cushioned resting pad.

-- Jack K., Billings, Mont.

IT IS WRITTEN Dear Heloise: In answer to your reader who mentioned having trouble remembering passwords, I use index cards, one for each password, and file them alphabetically in a small file box. It is always easy to find the password that I need.

-- Saralyn S., Dodge City, Kan. Saralyn, great! Readers, there’s nothing wrong with writing down your passwords; just make sure you keep them in a safe spot.

You may tell a trusted family member, in case he or she needs to access something in your records.

-- Heloise SPAMBURGER HELPER Dear Heloise: Some emails from friends end up in my spam box. Every day, I check what’s in my spam box, “unspam” it if it doesn’t belong there and read it. Thanks for sharing so much valuable info with me through The Maui News in Hawaii.

-- Miss Maui Mary, via email

DEAR ABBY: The wife of “Headed for the Open Road” (June 25) will never forgive herself if she doesn’t accompany her newly retired husband on his open-road adventures. After working for 40 years and retiring from my third job, my life partner and I went everywhere and did everything together. Three and a half months after my retirement, he passed away suddenly.

I would never have forgiven myself if I hadn’t experienced our frozen Jeep in Yellowstone or the eerie silence on the edge of the Hoh Rain Forest in western Washington state. That wife needs to get off her duff and have the adventures of a lifetime -- unless, of course, she doesn’t want to get closer to her husband. That would be a shame.

-- RICK T. IN CALIFORNIA DEAR RICK: Thanks for writing and sharing your experiences. Many other passionate travelers responded, offering guidance to “Headed” in making his dreams of adventure a reality. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Maybe the problem is the idea of a road trip, not the notion of travel. Perhaps he should suggest they go on a cruise or vacation in a nice resort somewhere. She might warm up more to travel if it sounded like a vacation rather than a long drive. And cruises are great -- no daily packing/unpacking, opportunities to “dress up” (if you want), dancing, nightly entertainment, moonlit walks, not to mention days in exotic ports around the world. By the way, my husband and I -- retirees in our 70s -- have just returned from a five-week road trip in France. Far more appealing than

Utah firefighter adopts dog he found near California fire

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah firefighter whose department is still reeling from the death of one of their own during California’s largest wildfire is starting a new chapter with a dog he found near front lines of the same fire.

Draper firefighter Patrick Cullen said Monday he never forgot the exhausted, thirsty

German shepherd who emerged from the Northern California wilderness earlier this month as the Mendocino Complex Fire glowed in the distance. “In the middle of the night, he came wandering over the hill,� said Cullen, who was among dozens of out-of-state firefighters who traveled to help fight the massive blaze.

With the nearest town an hour away, at first he wondered if the creature was a mountain lion,

but he quickly realized it was a German shepherd. “He was definitely matted and he looked like he’d been out for a while.�

He gave the dog some water and let him sleep under the engine, but as the fire overtook their location he left him with another crew who could bring him to a safe spot away from the flames.

He thought that might be the last he’d see of him, but as the days wore on fighting the blaze

he marveled at the chances of the pup finding him and worried about how he’d fared. Cullen started calling animal shelters.

He didn’t have any luck at first, but finally tracked him to the Mendocino County Animal Shelter.

The approximately 2-year-old dog had been dropped with a veterinarian, who treated him and then sent him to the shelter, said Richard Molinari, director of animal care services at the shelter.
