In the news Walker signs bill allowing cities to ban cellphones JUNEAU — It is already against the law in Alaska to text while driving. It also soon may be a crime to talk while behind the wheel.

The Juneau Empire reports Gov. Bill Walker signed legislation last week that could keep Alaska drivers from driving and talking on the phone.

The bill allows boroughs and cities to prohibit drivers from using their cellphones in school zones. The ban doesn’t become effective unless a borough passes an ordinance implementing the ban.

Ordinarily, Alaska law prohibits boroughs and cities from approving ordinances that change traffic laws. This bill defines an exemption.

The exemption doesn’t allow boroughs and cities to prohibit hands-free cellphone use, and it only covers someone driving a car. A borough or city can’t penalize you for talking on your cellphone while your car is parked, for example.

Men arrested after ankle monitors place them at crime scene FAIRBNAKS — Two Alaska men were arrested after their court-ordered GPS ankle monitors placed them at the scene of a burglary.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports the men, both of North Pole, are each charged with felony seconddegree burglary, three counts of felony second-degree theft and misdemeanor second-degree vehicle theft following their arrest Wednesday.

A criminal complaint says both men were out on bail for pending criminal cases at the time of the burglary and were wearing the ankle monitors as a condition of their release.

The owner of the North Pole shop called Alaska State Troopers on Monday to report someone broke into his shop and stole a $19,000 Can-Am side-by-side utility vehicle, two rifles, a compound bow, a satellite phone, several rifle scopes, a Stihl chainsaw and a Dell laptop.

Alaskans worried by deep-sea fish farms

By JAMES BROOKS Juneau Empire

In a Centennial Hall listening session, Alaskans raised concerns about federal plans to boost open-ocean fish farms under a new strategic plan for the U.S. Department of Commerce.

On Friday afternoon, Tim Gallaudet, acting undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere, hosted a listening session at the end of a weeklong gathering of National

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration experts in Juneau.

NOAA is an agency of the Department of Commerce, and Gallaudet is among the figures hosting meetings across the country as part of the process that creates the strategic plan.

In a speech opening the listening session, Gallaudet said the strategic plan is an “initiative to grow the American ‘blue economy.’”

That phrase is used as an umbrella term that includes fisheries, oceanic tourism and

other aspects of the national economy that relate to the oceans.

Gallaudet echoed the familiar refrains of the Trump Administration, saying the department is interested in deregulation and “reducing the seafood trade deficit.”

President Donald Trump’s trade war with China has resulted in Chinese tariffs on Alaska seafood exported to that country, and American tariffs on processed Alaska seafood products imported from China.

“There’s some growing pains, but it’s about a free, fair and reciprocal trade policy,” Gallaudet said.

Several invited panelists gently prodded Gallaudet, and by extension the Trump Administration, to stabilize trade issues.

Among members of the public who offered their opinions, the issue of aquaculture was paramount. One of the goals within the strategic plan is “increase aquaculture production.” ”We will help it grow faster

by reducing regulatory burden and driving aquaculture research,” the plan states.

“A strong U.S. marine aquaculture industry will serve a key role in U.S. food security and improve our trade balance with other nations.”

Alaska bans fish farms, but its jurisdiction extends only to waters 3 miles offshore. Beyond that limit is federal waters, and the state ban does not apply.

Kenai family works to restore historic Kenai cabin

By ELIZABETH EARL Peninsula Clarion

A bent, broken old cabin with a long history is getting new life after decades of decay.

A pair of workers have been carefully taking apart and numbering the logs of an old cabin on Petersen Way in Old Town Kenai, right across the street from the landmark Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church. Situated between the bluff above the north Kenai beach and the popular Veronica’s Café, many visitors know it as the sunken cabin with a “No Trespassing” sign adjacent to the road.

Plenty of people have been curious about what’s going on.

Roy Beaver, one of the workers restoring the cabin, said some people have approached them to ask why they’re taking it apart.

“We’ve said, ‘No, no, no, it’s going back up soon,’” he said.

“And they say, ‘Whew, good!’”

Tim Wisniewski, who owns the property where the cabin sits with his wife Terri, said they’re planning to fully restore the cabin. Concerned about the loss of history in the Kenai

Roy Beaver drills a hole through a log as part of a reconstruction of a historic cabin near the bluff in Old Town Kenai on Wednesday. The cabin, owned by Tim Wisnewski, is one of the original buildings in the Old Town Kenai area and had long since fallen into disrepair before Wisnewski decided to restore it.

area, he said they plan to fully restore the place with a foundation and new floorboards, reusing as many of the original logs as possible.

The little place, about 12 feet square, once belonged to Kenai’s jailer, Tommy Foster.

Native Pride Dancers return

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Native Pride Arts Dance Company is returning to Kenai tomorrow for the second time.

The Native Pride Dancers visited in January and performed in conjunction with the local Native Youth Olympics.

Larry Yazzie, the founder, and director of Native Pride Arts said the event will be slightly different than their first visit to Alaska. Three core dancers, including Yazzie, will be in attendance, as well as two new dancers that have not been to Alaska, he said.

The group will be performing the traditional Native dances and music of the American plains tribes at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, in the Kenai Middle School Auditorium.

The event will feature live singing, flute music and narration. Yazzie said it’s an interactive performance.

“It’s important to let the world know we are not in museums or in history books,” Yazzie said. “We are alive, and well, and strong, and resilient and proud.”

Yazzie said the event helps teach attendees what it’s like to be a part of a traditional pow wow.

Michael Bernard coordinated January’s event for the Kenaitze Tribe. He stumbled

lived in the cabin on the bluff, said he moved to Kenai from the Shumagin Islands when his grandparents did and lived in the cabin next door until he

across the group’s website and said he wanted to bring them up right away.

“We were so pleased to have such talent from our brothers and sisters,” Bernard said. “I think everybody that was in attendance was very excited to be a part of it.”

Bernard said one of the best parts about the performance was how interactive it was, and he hopes the group encourages attendees to be part of the experience again.

“The performance was active and they were knowledgeable about representing cultures,” Bernard said. “It was

exciting to see the crowd involved as well.”

The group has traveled across the world and has performed in all 48 contiguous states and Hawaii, but had never been to Alaska to perform before January.

The event is free and open to the public. The group will also be doing a workshop with students at Kenai Middle School, prior to the event.

Yazzie said the dance group is hoping to return to Kenai next January.

Where dogs have their day: Cooper’s Wounded Bear Farm and Kennels

moved later moved onto his own homestead. Arness once owned and ran his accounting practice out of his grandparents’ cabin, which perches on the bluff above the Meeks Trail and the north Kenai beach.

“That’s what we always called it — Tommy’s cabin,” he said.

The place is small, but it has a tin roof atop the logs. Arness said he thought the tin might have come from the wreck of the Corea, a ship that ran aground near Clam Gulch bearing a load of tin. Some of the old houses in Old Town Kenai were build from or have pieces from the tin recovered from that wreck, he said.

Foster wasn’t the one who built the cabin, though — it predates when he moved in, around 1946. Arness said it’s been in disrepair as long as he could remember.

The Kenai Historical Society doesn’t have much information about it either, though they hope to gather more, said Kenai Historical Society President June Carter. Eventually, they may look into putting up a plaque about the cabin when

Kacey Cooper has always worked with dogs, so opening her own dog kennel was a natural fit.

“For my first job I would go around the neighborhood, and for like a dime I’d walk people’s dogs or brush them,” Cooper said. “So I’ve been doing this thing my whole life.”

Cooper is the owner of Cooper’s Wounded Bear Farm and Kennels, which she started in 1984. She said it began as a favor to her friends, but the need grew and so did her business.

She started operating out of her garage but has since built a dedicated area for her business on her property in Kasilof.

“I always liked dogs and have been working with dogs my whole life and there was nowhere for people to keep their dogs around here,” Cooper said. “On the peninsula, there was like one kennel at the time. Most of the time people left their dogs at home or left the dog with the neighbor who watched them. I started doing it for friends and then other people started asking me… it just kind of progressed from there.”

Cooper’s St. Bernard, Bear,

Shop Talk was laying on her deck sleeping, when Cooper came up with the name Wounded Bear, for her business.

“He was dreaming and he rolled over and fell off the deck and wounded his paw, and we were like ‘Aw, wounded Bear,’” Cooper said. “People always think that we keep wounded bears.”

Q: Since opening up in 1984, have more kennels opened up in the area?

A: Oh yes, a bunch of them.

There’s like four or five other kennels nowadays, so it’s a growing business Q: Do you see a steady flow of dogs coming to your kennels throughout the year?

A: Most of the time it’s pretty steady. It’s usually, obviously, busier during holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. I’ve given up trying to figure out when it’s going to be busy. It used to be September when everything was dead, you know, right after people went back to school, but lately it’s been really busy.

Q: How have you grown since ‘84?

ministrator for NOAA Fisheries and former director of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, said concerns about aquaculture are somewhat misplaced.

“In terms of finfish, I think we’re talking about very contained operations, as opposed to hatchery operations,” he said.

That didn’t assuage the audience, which repeatedly expressed concerns about the idea that NOAA could allow deep-sea fish farms off Alaska’s

coast.

“We already see kind of the questionable outcomes fish hatcheries have had,” said Kristine Trott, a member of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Juneau-Douglas advisory committee.

Don Habeger, a candidate for the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly, asked Gallaudet if he would commit to shifting Alaska Fisheries Science Center staff from Washington state to Alaska, a long-held dream of

Juneau residents.

“I cannot commit to a specified increase in employment anywhere,” Gallaudet replied.

Other speakers urged Gallaudet to take action that will help Alaska fisheries deal with the impacts of climate change and ocean acidification.

“I would encourage you to invest in science,” said Michael LeVine, senior Arctic fellow for the Ocean Conservancy.

trailer to pick up some cabins and move them to the park to be restored to visitors to see.

Carter said she remembered the fragility of moving the Dolchok-Juliussen cabin from behind the Peninsula Oilers baseball field down to Old Town.

“It was the most difficult because it was still attached to the ground — it had water and electricity,” she said. “I walked beside it, and I heard every creak in it. I swear it was going to fall to toothpicks.”

The park has now been open for eight years, greeting about 900 visitors per summer with a docent guiding tours full of information about Kenai’s homesteaders, from the first general

store to the first schoolhouse.

Across the street at the Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center, the Kenai Historical Society also maintains two donated historical fishing boats and the original log visitor center, where it keeps its records.

Much of the oldest history of Kenai wasn’t written down or organized in any meaningful way, making it a challenge to categorize, Carter said. The historical society leases a room in the Civic League building from the city that’s full of records that had been “thrown in that room,” she said.

“We moved maybe 60 boxes from that room into the Moosemeat John cabin (the original

visitor center),” she said. “We ended up throwing out most of it. People back then took notes onto scrap pieces of paper that had no meaning … you can’t make any sense of it. People would pass away and the family would donate their stuff to the society, and the society did not do anything with them other than just throw them in a box.”

Gradually, they’ve pieced together some of the stories of what Kenai was like in its oldest days, before the oil boom in the 1960s. Much of that has been with the help of homesteaders and their children, oral histories passed down through time. But the physical remnants of old Kenai are patchier.

A: I’ve grown a lot since ‘84. It’s kind of leveled off the last few years because there are more kennels. The demographics are changing. If people live in town, I’m not a good place for them to daycare, you know because they don’t want to drive to Kasilof. But people who live out here and want dog daycare bring their dogs for that. I’d say it’s steady with some growth.

Q: How do you get the word out about your business?

A: What I’m finding out about growing my business nowadays is marketing. I need to do the Facebook stuff, which I’m not very good at. I’ve got a website. I’ve got an ad in the phone book and I get a lot of word of mouth because I’ve

been here for so long. I get a lot of referrals that way.

Q: Does your location work well for your business?

A: Yeah, it’s kind of central.

I get a lot of dogs from Homer and Ninilchik. I have dogs that come from Nikiski. I actually have a customer that comes all the way from Cordova to bring me their dogs. I’ve been doing it long enough where a lot of my customers are actually the grandchildren of my original customers.

Q: What is most unique about your facility?

A: Our big deal is a safe, fun place for the dogs to be.

The dogs get let in and out all day long. I have huge, big exercise yards for them. I try to get the dogs to socialize with other dogs. We try to do basic training for every dog that comes in. Just kind of manners 101. I make them sit politely at the gates and do leash work

with them. Something else that makes us unique compared to other kennels is that I’m a registered nurse also, so I’m pretty acutely aware of illness and wounds and know how to handle them. I take care of diabetic dogs. I have a good feel for if a

dog is just moping or if a dog sick. I think I’ve been here so long I know all the veterinarians and they work really well with me if I’m worried about a dog. We do cats and bunnies too, but I don’t do snakes, and I don’t do ferrets anymore.

What Others Say

John McCain, a man like no other Let the record show that John Sidney McCain never quit on his country.

When he nearly died in a fire that killed 134 of his shipmates on an aircraft carrier in the Tonkin Gulf, he went on to fly combat missions.

When he nearly died ejecting out of a plane over North Vietnam, he steeled himself for nearly six heroic years of captivity as an American POW. When he nearly died from torture in a Hanoi prison, he came home and began a career of service in Congress.

And as he neared death with cancer and its punishing treatment regimen, he railed against a brutal Syrian regime and the excesses of a populist president.

The man had no quit.

He came from an America that believed in the sunfaded ideals of honor and duty. And so he spent the last months of his three decades as U.S. senator making the case for honorable conduct.

In one of America’s dark hours, when the country was beset upon itself, McCain used his last great speech to call on the leaders of this country to stop savaging one another, to start working together.

Who will ever forget McCain’s return to the U.S. Senate last summer that brought every member of that body to their feet to warmly acknowledge him after doctors broke the news he had little time to live?

McCain acted as if the diagnosis were nothing. A trifle. And he had nothing to hide, appearing in public only days after surgery with a newly stitched incision above his left eye.

He was tranquil, good-natured and telling jokes.

McCain was our senior senator, but we shared him with the world. Just about every important conference on defense and foreign affairs eagerly sought McCain’s participation because he was so highly respected in that realm.

Many of us perked up when we heard McCain’s thinly veiled criticism of Donald Trump at the 2017 Liberty Medal Award Ceremony. But to go back and read the text is to understand McCain was doing more than rebuking an irresponsible president: “To fear the world we have organized and led for three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain ‘the last best hope of Earth’ for the sake of some halfbaked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history.”

McCain strove to make that point, even in his return to the U.S. Senate. He was putting down a marker at the end, warning us that the rest of the world has not advanced enough for America to abandon global security to the other great powers. …

History will best remember McCain for his 2008 run for president when it was his great misfortune to go up against a political supernova in Barack Obama. …

An enduring moment in that race came when one of McCain’s supporters told him, “I can’t trust Obama. I have read about him, and he’s not, he’s not — he’s an Arab.”

McCain replied, “No ma’am. He’s a decent family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.”

John McCain was a man of sturdy good judgment who was most composed when others were losing their minds. As xenophobia took over Arizona’s political landscape, McCain led a “Gang of Eight” in the U.S. Senate in pursuit of humane immigration reform.

He understood that America could not turn its back on modern immigrants any more than it could disavow its immigrant past.

McCain served his state and his country with integrity and high distinction.

Fixing the kangaroo courts

A judicial process that doesn’t allow the accused to cross-examine his accuser or reliably see the evidence against him is a civil libertarian’s nightmare. It traduces every principle of fairness and is blatantly un-American.

Yet Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is about to get savaged for replacing just such a process with something more in keeping with our long-standing legal norms.

The Education Department is preparing new rules that would roll back the monstrously unfair Obama-era requirements for how colleges handle sexual assault and harassment allegations. It will be a significant advance for due process, which is almost as out of style on campus as free speech. In one of its least defensible actions, the Obama administration used its Office for Civil Rights to impose its preferred procedures for handling sexual assault cases on all the universities in the country that receive federal funds. It did it via a 19-page “Dear Colleague” letter, in the name of Title IX, the provision in federal law prohibiting sexual discrimination in education.

The process was terrible. It blew right by the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires public notice and comment before such rules go into effect. And the substance was worse. If the letter reads as if it was written by inflamed activists who had no interest in balanced proceedings, that’s because it was. It required colleges to adopt a “preponderance of evidence” standard rather than a “clear and convincing” standard.

It more or less forbid colleges from allowing the crossexamination of accusers. It adopted a remarkably broad definition of sexual harassment to include “unwelcome sexual advances, Rich Lowry requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature.”

The administration also encouraged the use of a “single investigator-adjudicator system,” i.e., one person as investigator, judge and jury.

The Obama rules are medieval in the sense that they ignore central developments in Anglo-American justice that arose hundreds of years ago. In their important book “The Campus Rape Frenzy,” KC Johnson and Stuart Taylor Jr. describe how the rules often played out: “Start with an alcohol-soaked set of facts that no state’s criminal law would consider sexual assault. Add an incomplete ‘investigation,’ unfair procedures, and a disciplinary panel uninterested in evidence of innocence. Stir in a de facto presumption of guilt based on misguided Obama administration dictates, ideological zeal, and fear of bad publicity.” The result has, inevitably, been jawdropping miscarriages of justice. Everyone should want perpetrators of sexual assault to be punished — and in the criminal-justice system, not just by colleges — but el-

ementary protections for the accused can’t be discarded in the process.

One reason the Obama rules were so lopsided is that they were crafted in an atmosphere of moral panic. It was assumed that there was a spiraling epidemic of sexual assault on campus. Taylor and Johnson note, to the contrary, that sexual assaults of female college students dropped by more than half between 1997 and 2013, and that young women in college are less likely to be assaulted than those who are not in college.

The Obama rules have been receiving a battering in the courts, where due process is still taken seriously. A U.S. District Court judge wrote in a 2016 ruling against Brandeis University: “If a college student is to be marked for life as a sexual predator, it is reasonable to require that he be provided a fair opportunity to defend himself and an impartial arbiter to make that decision.

Put simply, a fair determination of the facts requires a fair process, not tilted to favor a particular outcome, and a fair and neutral fact-finder, not predisposed to reach a particular conclusion.”

This is the animating spirit behind the DeVos changes. They are still being formulated, but a New York Times report suggests that they will correct the worst excesses of the Obama rules and interject fairness into proceedings that were, shamefully, designed to lack it.

2018’s most volatile candidate isn’t on ballot

By ZEKE MILLER and CATHERINE LUCEY Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Heading into the midterm elections, the most volatile candidate this year isn’t on the ballot.

But President Donald Trump still loves to take his freewheeling political stylings on the road on behalf of his fellow Republicans and he’s raring to go for the sprint to Nov. 6.

His eagerness to campaign for candidates — and protect his political flank — has led Republican officials and Trump’s political team to devise a strategy for managing the president’s time. It’s designed to keep him in places where he can be helpful.

They’re also determined to try to manage his unpredictability so the party’s strongest asset in turning out core GOP voters doesn’t end up doing damage instead.

There’s a constant effort to keep him on best behavior.

This past week, Trump heeded pleas from advisers and Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, head of the GOP Senate campaign committee, to refrain from picking a favorite in the fractious Arizona primary, waiting until after the results were in to back the winner. Later, at a rally in Indiana for Senate candidate Mike Braun, the president largely stuck to his script, promoting his agenda and criticizing Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind. “Senate Republicans will not get to where they need to go without the president this fall. That means doing exactly what he’s been doing,” said Josh Holmes, a longtime adviser to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. “The great danger in a midterm is an enthusiasm gap and there is nobody who can close the enthusiasm gap quite like the president.”

Aides believe Trump’s drawing power is critical to a strong turnout among the most loyal GOP voters, which is helpful in many statewide contests. But his presence could be counterproductive in many House districts where incumbents are struggling to hold onto voters in the center.

But this is a celebrity-turned-president who hardly is a selfless leader of his adoptive party. He launched his own re-election

campaign weeks after his swearing-in last year, rather than waiting until after the midterm elections, as did his predecessors. With Democrats increasingly optimistic about retaking the House, Trump is motivated by self-protection. He’s keenly aware of the threats and investigations that could come his way if Democratic hold a majority in either the House or Senate.

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing, and Trump created an unnecessary political firestorm with his delayed and muted response to the death of Sen. John McCain. Still, aides think he generally has grown more focused and disciplined entering the final push to the fall elections.

At his Indiana rally Thursday night, Trump stuck to familiar themes, talking about tax cuts and trade tariffs, slamming high-tech companies, railing against the Justice Department and calling MS-13 gang members animals. But he did not mention McCain, avoiding recounting the well-worn tale about the senator’s pivotal vote against the president’s health care bill.

After a week in which aides pushed Trump to rise above his personal grudges against McCain, the mere fact that Trump kept the senator out of his remarks was notable.

While Trump’s White House remains marked by turbulence, insiders said the political shop has managed to impose some discipline. On potential endorsements, for example, political director Bill Stepien and adviser John DeStefano bring Trump detailed binders on candidates’ voting records, including their past comments on Trump, where they have broken with the president and other details.

While Stepien and DeStefeno have gained influence, they must compete with other power centers. Vice President Mike Pence and the White House office of legislative affairs weigh in at times, and Donald Trump Jr. has proved a powerful influence.

Some races have proved complicated, as in the Arizona Senate race, where Kelly Ward and former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio both promoted their ties to Trump, as did establishment favorite Rep.

Martha McSally. Trump stayed out of the race and McSally handily defeated the two more controversial candidates, averting what GOP operatives believed could have been a disaster for the party this fall.

In the Tennessee governor’s race, Rep. Diane Black also pushed for an endorsement. Trump stayed out of that race, which she lost, on the advice of staff.

But the president could not be persuaded to stay silent in other cases.

He supported Foster Friess in the GOP gubernatorial primary in Wyoming. Friess, who lost, was strongly backed by Trump Jr. Aides also had pushed Trump not to endorse Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach in his bid to be governor, but Trump did at the last minute, helping put Kobach over the top in the primary but making the race in November more competitive for Democrats.

Aides said they pick their battles with the president, prioritizing races that could swing the balance of congressional control.

For political travel, White House staffers, who are coordinating with party aides, have divided the electoral map into places Trump can be helpful and places where it’s better to send in others such as Pence, Cabinet secretaries or members of the first family.

“He’s prioritizing places where he’s performed well and where there’s a strong network of grassroots support,” said North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.

When Trump makes a political trip, aides try to make sure the candidate meets the president at the airport, has time with him in the car and gets the right sound bites on stage. That script was followed Thursday with Braun; Trump called him a “special guy” and promised that Braun would “be a truly great senator.”

On Friday, as he praised a pair of North Carolina Republican candidates at both an official and political event, Trump was effusive in his praise before turning the spotlight on his own accomplishments.

Trump’s rallies also have served as a boost to the GOP’s massive email and voter contact database. Attendees are entered into the party’s system within 48 hours.

Rights group: Strike on bus in Father of slain Iowa student decries Yemen is ‘apparent war crime’ using her as ‘pawn’

By SAMY MAGDY Associated Press

CAIRO — An airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebels in Yemen that killed dozens of people last month is an “apparent war crime,” an international rights group said Sunday.

The report came days after U.N. human rights experts said all sides in the fighting may have been responsible for committing war crimes in the 3½year conflict.

The coalition backing Yemen’s internationally recognized government expressed regret Saturday and pledged to hold accountable those found to be responsible for the airstrike, which hit a bus carrying children in a busy market in the northern province of Saada. At least 51 people, including 40 children, were killed, and 79 others, including 56 children, were wounded.

Human Rights Watch said the attack adds to the coalition’s “already gruesome track record of killing civilians at weddings, funerals, hospitals and schools in Yemen.”

The New York-based group said it spoke by phone to 14 witnesses, including nine children, who said that shortly before 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 9, a bomb fell on the market in Dhahyan, a town north of Saada in Houthi-controlled northwestern Yemen, 60 kilometers (37 miles) from the Saudi border.

The bomb landed a few meters from a bus packed with boys on an excursion organized by a mosque to visit the graves of men who had been killed in fighting, the group said. The bus was parked outside a grocery store where the driver had gone to buy water for the children, HRW said.

“I saw bodies torn into pieces, pieces of my friends. …

(AP Photo/Hani Mohammed, File)

Many of my friends died,” the group quoted Ahmad Hanash, 14, as saying. He and his brothers Hassan, 13, and Yahia, 11, were wounded in the attack.

Bill Van Esveld, senior children’s rights researcher for HRW, urged the U.S. and other countries to “immediately stop weapons sales to Saudi Arabia and support strengthening the independent U.N. inquiry into violations in Yemen, or risk being complicit in future atrocities.”

The coalition said it has accepted the conclusions of its investigative body, known as the Joint Incidents Assessments Team, which found that the airstrike involved “mistakes,” including failing to take measures to minimize collateral damage.

The coalition said in its statement Saturday that “it will take all the legal measures to hold accountable those who were proven to have committed mistakes” once it officially

receives the findings. It also pledged to coordinate with Yemen’s government to compensate civilians.

The U.S. State Department on Sunday welcomed the coalition’s statement as “an important first step toward full transparency and accountability.” It urged all sides of the conflict to “abide by the Law of Armed Conflict, to mitigate harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure, and thoroughly investigate and ensure accountability for any violations.”

HRW’s statement came after U.N. human rights experts said last week that the governments of Yemen, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia may have been responsible for committing war crimes, including rape, torture, arbitrary detention and use of child soldiers.

The U.N. panel also pointed to possible war crimes committed by the Houthi rebels fighting the coalition.

It also urged the international community to “refrain from providing arms that could be used in the conflict” — an apparent reference to Western countries that have sold sophisticated weapons systems to the Gulf states. It also was an apparent reference to Saudi Arabia’s regional foe Iran, which the coalition has accused of arming the Houthis.

The Associated Press reported last year that the UAE and its allied militias were running a network of secret detention facilities, beyond the control of the Yemeni government. In June, the AP reported that hundreds of detainees had been subjected to sexual abuse and torture.

The coalition has faced criticism for its campaign of airstrikes, while the Houthis have been accused of using land mines, killing and wounding civilians. They have also targeted religious minorities and imprisoned opponents.

BROOKLYN, Iowa (AP) — The father of slain Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts in an opinion piece spoke out against using his daughter’s death in support of “views she believed were profoundly racist,” a call that comes after President Donald Trump and others seized on the suspected killer’s immigration status to argue for changes in U.S. immigration laws.

Authorities have said the University of Iowa student was abducted while she was out for an evening run in Brooklyn, Iowa, on July 18. The man charged in her death, 24-yearold Cristhian Bahena Rivera, a Mexican farmworker who is suspected of being in the U.S. illegally. Trump and other politicians quickly noted that element of the case and called for changes to immigration law .

Rob Tibbetts wrote in the opinion piece published online

by The Des Moines Register on Saturday that while he supports debate on immigration, some politicians and pundits went too far in using his daughter’s death to promote political agendas. He said his stepdaughter is Latina and argued that the suspected killer “is no more a reflection of the Hispanic community as white supremacists are of all white people.”

“Do not appropriate Mollie’s soul in advancing views she believed were profoundly racist,” he wrote. “The act grievously extends the crime that stole Mollie from our family and is, to quote Donald Trump Jr., ‘heartless’ and ‘despicable.’”

The quote comes from a Friday opinion piece by Trump Jr . that criticized the media and Democrats for not playing up the suspect’s immigration status.

“Despite what some Democrats may wish in the depths of their hearts, Mollie was mur-

dered by an illegal alien and her murder would never have happened if we policed our southern border properly,” the president’s son wrote.

Recorded phone calls citing Mollie Tibbetts’ death in a push for white supremacist views began Tuesday, just days after her funeral. The robocalls cited comments Rob Tibbetts made in defense of Latinos during her funeral .

The calls question whether his daughter would feel the same if she were still alive and describe Rivera as “an invader from Mexico.”

Rob Tibbetts wrote in his opinion piece that his daughter was “nobody’s victim. Nor is she a pawn in others’ debate.”

“She may not be able to speak for herself, but I can and will,” he went on to say. “Please leave us out of your debate. Allow us to grieve in privacy and with dignity. At long last, show some decency. On behalf of my family and Mollie’s memory, I’m imploring you to stop.”

UN agency: Migrant trips across Today in History Mediterranean fall, but risks rise

By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press

GENEVA — The U.N. refugee agency says people smugglers are taking greater risks to ferry their human cargo toward Europe as Libya’s coast guard intercepts more and more boats carrying migrants, increasing the likelihood that those on board may die during the Mediterranean journeys.

That’s one of the key findings from the latest UNHCR report about efforts to reach Europe.

The report, released early Monday and titled “Desperate Journeys,” says that even though the number of crossings and deaths has plunged compared to recent years, the voyage is more deadly in percentage terms for those who venture across.

The report says 2,276 people died last year while trying to cross, or one death for every 42 arrivals.

This year, it’s 1,095 deaths, or one out of every 18 arrivals.

In June alone, the proportion hit one death for every seven arrivals.

On the Central Mediterranean route so far this year, there have been 10 separate incidents in which 50 or more people died — most after departing from Libya. Seven of those incidents have been since June alone, UNHCR said.

“The reason the traffic has become more deadly is that the traffickers are taking more risk, because there is more surveillance exercised by the Libyan coast guards,” said Vincent Cochetel, UNHCR’s special envoy for the central Mediterranean.

“They are trying to cut the costs: It costs them more to keep those people here longer in their warehouses, under captivity.”

Libyan authorities intercepted or rescued 18,400 people between August last year and

July this year — a 38-percent increase from the same period of 2016 and 2017. Arrivals by sea from Libya to Europe plummeted 82 percent in those comparable periods, to 30,800 in the more recent one.

UNHCR says a growing worry these days is deaths on land by people trying to get to Libya in the first place, or getting stuck in squalid, overcrowded detention centers: Many get returned there after failing to cross by sea to Europe.

“The problems after disembarkation (is that) those people are sent back to detention centers, and many disappear,” Cochetel said. “Many are sold to militias, and to traffickers, and people employing them without paying them.”

He said the drop in departures means that traffickers attempt to “monetize their investment, which means they have to ex-

ploit more people. That results in more cases of slavery, forced labor, prostitution of those people — because they (smugglers) want to make money on those people.”

Would-be workers and migrants are still pouring into Libya: Some are fleeing injustice, abuse or autocrats in their home countries further south in Africa.

Others are looking for work in the oil industry or agriculture.

“I think you have more deaths on land,” Cochetel said, referring to treks across the desert in Sudan, Algeria, Chad and Niger. “Many people in Libya are reporting having seeing people dead in the desert on the way to Libya.”

In Libya, instability continues even seven years after the fall of Moammar Gadhafi.

French medical aid group Doctors Without Borders said Friday that fighting between rival

militias in Tripoli, the capital, has endangered the lives of people trapped there and worsened humanitarian needs — especially at migrant detention centers.

Cochetel said Europe — where some countries have shown “appalling” squabbles about who would take in rescue ships carrying migrants — should look at the root causes of such journeys. European populations need to shun antimigrant rhetoric and realize that figures are down sharply, and migrant flows are clearly manageable at current levels, he said.

“Europe has to show the lead, has to be exemplary in its response, but it’s quite clear that it’s already too late when the people are in Libya,” he said. “We need to work downstream in country of first asylum, in country of origin, and that takes time.”

Today is Monday, Sept. 3, the 246th day of 2018. There are 119 days left in the year. This is Labor Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 3, 1939, Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany, two days after the Nazi invasion of Poland; in a radio address, Britain’s King George VI said, “With God’s help, we shall prevail.” The same day, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the British liner SS Athenia some 250 miles off the Irish coast, killing more than 100 out of the 1,400 or so people on board.

On this date: In 1609, English explorer Henry Hudson and his crew aboard the Half Moon entered present-day New York Harbor and began sailing up the river that now bears his name. (They reached presentday Albany before turning back.)

In 1783, representatives of the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. In 1943, Allied forces invaded Italy during World War II, the same day Italian officials signed a secret armistice with the Allies.

In 1951, the television soap opera “Search for Tomorrow” made its debut on CBS. In 1967, Nguyen Van Thieu (nwen van too) was elected president of South Vietnam under a new constitution.

In 1970, legendary football coach Vince Lombardi, 57, died in Washington, D.C. In 1976, America’s Viking 2 lander touched down on Mars to take the first close-up, color photographs of the red planet’s surface.

In 1978, Pope John Paul I was installed as the 264th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.

In 1989, a Cubana de Aviacion jetliner crashed after takeoff in Havana, killing all 126 aboard and 45 people on the ground.

In 1995, the online auction site eBay was founded in San Jose, California, by Pierre Omidyar under the name “AuctionWeb.” In 1999, a French judge closed a two-year inquiry into the car crash that killed Princess Diana, dismissing all charges against nine photographers and a press motorcyclist, and concluding the accident was caused by an inebriated driver.

In 2003, Paul Hill, a former minister who said he murdered an abortion doctor and his bodyguard to save the lives of unborn babies, was executed in Florida by injection, becoming the first person put to death in the United States for anti-abortion violence.

Ten years ago: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, John McCain’s choice of running mate, roused delegates at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., as she belittled Democrat Barack Obama and praised the GOP nominee. Thousands of New Orleans residents who had fled Hurricane Gustav forced the city to reluctantly open its doors, while President George W. Bush returned to the scene to show that the government had turned a corner since its bungled response to Katrina. Baseball’s first use of instant replay backed an onfield call of a home run for Alex Rodriguez during the ninth inning of a New York Yankees game against the Tampa Bay Rays. (The Yankees won the game, 8-4.)

Five years ago: Ariel Castro, who’d held three women captive in his Cleveland home for nearly a decade before one escaped and alerted authorities, was found hanged in his prison cell, a suicide.

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman arrived in Pyongyang for his second visit to North Korea.

One year ago: North Korea carried out its sixth and strongest nuclear test, detonating what it said was a hydrogen bomb. Walter Becker, co-founder of the 1970s rock group Steely Dan, died at the age of 67.

Local authors create dinosaur coloring book for kids

By MICHAEL ARMSTRONG Homer News

HOMER — A new children’s book out this month fulfills a request made by two Seward boys to their mother. Kai, 5, and Sylas Reising, 4, had seen a coloring book put out by the state of Texas about its dinosaurs.

“They thoroughly enjoyed that,” said their grandmother, Homer writer and naturalist Janet Klein. “They asked Deborah, ‘Mom, we want a book on Alaska dinosaurs.’”

Klein and her daughter, Deborah Klein, along with Seward artist EmmaLee Moore, have published “Alaska Dinosaurs and Other Creataceous Creatures.” Printed by Janet Klein’s Kachemak Country Publications, the “color and learn” book for children and adults describes dinosaurs and other ancient species found from the North Slope to Denali National Park to the Talkeetna Mountains. In Homer, the $14.95 book is available at the Homer Bookstore, Old Inlet Books, the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies, Captain’s Toy Chest, Salty Girls, Coal Point Trading Company and Land’s End Resort.

Each section includes the spelling and pronunciation of the cretaceous creatures and a scale drawing by Moore of the animal as shown relative to a 5-foot child. The Kleins consulted with University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist Patrick Druckenmiller to make the book as scientifically accurate and timely as possible. Moore used drawings from scientific journals and other sources to make her black-and-white sketches.

“Deb (Klein) would send me pictures,” Moore said. “It was pretty hard because a lot of the dinosaurs in Alaska — they’re going off footprints or teeny little pieces like teeth.”

“Alaska Dinosaurs” also covers the history of Alaska dinosaur finds, going back to 1961, when geologist Robert Liscomb collected fossilized bones in the Colville River area on the North Slope. Liscomb died shortly after his discovery, and the bones remained in storage for 20 years before being refound and identified. Species found include Nanuqsaurus hoglundi, a relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, and Ugrunaaluk kuukpikensis, a plant eater preyed upon by Nanuqsaurus. One challenge the Kleins had was getting access to scientific journals expensive to subscribe to and difficult for the lay person to find, Janet Klein said.

“We would get what we could and download it, and Patrick Druckenmiller would send us some when he could,” she said.

With new discoveries being made and articles coming out frequently, the Kleins also had to be sure they were current in their research.

“Every paper updates a previous paper,” Janet Klein said.

“You’re always concerned about ‘Did we get the latest papers?’”

For example, right after “Alaska Dinosaurs” came out, Klein said she heard about a new article on Alaska dinosaur tracks.

KPC: A tradition of hiring highly-qualified adjunct faculty KPC depends not only on full-time faculty (both tenure-track and term), but also on a cadre of part-time, dedicated adjunct faculty to provide instruction beyond the workloads that full-time faculty can carry. This has allowed KPC to better meet the needs of students who are trying to earn degrees or certificates in the most efficient and timely manner possible.

Many adjunct faculty have taught KPC classes for years and others have come into the fold as the needs changed and technology demands have evolved.

A KRC adjunct faculty member, Reesa Marie Dawkins, joined KPC in 2013 teaching Logistics and Statistics. She was recently featured In the Chronicle of Higher Education (Aug. 29, 2018), a

“So here it is. It (the paper) literally just came out this month with new information,” she said.

“The fun and the challenge is continuously assembling the new information that comes out about paleontology in Alaska.”

Moore came to the book project in the spring of 2017 at the end of her junior year at Seward High School. Moore heads this week to Brigham Young University-Hawaii in Laie where she will study marine biology and art. Moore had taken math and marine biology classes with Deborah Klein’s husband, George Reising, a high school teacher.

“He told me what Deb (Klein) was doing and he asked me if I would be interested in illustrating the coloring book for them,” Moore said. “I was super excited.”

Because she drew a coloring book, Moore said she had to adjust her style.

“I tried doing a couple of sketches, but they were way too detailed,” she said. “I had to do some simpler drawings than usual.”

The coloring-book sketches allow readers and artists to use their imagination, Klein said.

“They can be whatever you want,” she said. “You can add feathers to them. More and more, colorful feathers are being added to dinosaur illustrations.”

As inspiration, the cover includes coloring of an Edmontonia dinosaur by Sylas Reising.

He and his brother Kye also drew whimsical, never-beforeseen creatures in the book.

“I like Kye and Sylas’ little drawings,” Moore said.

“They’re so cute.”

Moore received an Awesome Foundation grant of $1,000 to support her work on “Alaska Dinosaurs.” A statewide organization, Awesome Foundation members donate $100 a month and then award a flat $1,000 to worthy projects. Deborah Klein applied for the grant on Moore’s behalf.

“What they were really excited about is the fact that there’s nothing out there about Alaska dinosaurs for the Alaska public and it would be scientifically accurate because of Patrick’s (Druckenmiller) involvement,” Klein said.

Homer writer Shelley Gill wrote and artist Shannon Cartwright illustrated a 1997 book on Alaska dinosaurs, “Thunderfeet: Alaska Dinosaurs,” that’s still in print but doesn’t incorporate the latest research.

widely-read publication, titled “One Way to Show Students You Care—and Why You Might Want to Try It,” by Beckie Supiano.

Dawkins encourages her students to ask for help if hardship hits. When her husband had a heart attack, colleagues and students reciprocated with an outpouring of support.

“My students have lost family members, gone through breakups and divorces, and one even called to tell me she was homeless (We got her in a dorm the same day).” Even happy events, like a marriage or the birth of a child, can cause upheaval, she adds.

When such issues crop up, “I can give extended grace periods, tutor you one-on-one by phone, be a good listener, offer a list of campus resources, and help you catch back up if you have fallen behind,” Dawkins writes.

A new exhibit in the KRC gallery The KPC Gary L. Freeburg Gallery will be hosting “Origins,” an exhibit by Joel Isaak, artist and KPC Dena’ina language adjunct instructor, from Aug. 27 through Sept. 28, 2018.

Nelson defends Kenai Peninsula Open title

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

In winning three Kenai Peninsula Open titles at Birch Ridge Golf Course, Palmer Golf Course pro Rob Nelson has developed a dichotomous relationship with the area.

The Kenai Peninsula and its people?

“I love it here,” Nelson said.

“The people of the peninsula and the people who run this tournament are awesome. I feel like family. I really do.”

Birch Ridge Golf Course itself?

“It’s not an easy golf course,” Nelson said. “Sometimes you hit good shots and they don’t turn out good, sometimes you hit bad shots and they turn out good.

“It’s 100 percent defense.

You’re just trying not to make a 10 and sometimes you still do it.”

Nelson finished the Saturday and Sunday event with a total of 9-over-par 149, taking $1,500. Nelson broke a tie with James Contreras for the most open division titles. The open division started in 2012.

Derek O’Neill was second at 150 for $800, Brandon Kaiser was third at 152 for $400, and Conteras and Rich Lundahl tied for fourth at 153 and each earned $150.

Nelson, O’Neill and Kaiser played in the lead group and were nipping at each other’s heels heading into the final nine, with Nelson and Kaiser 4-over for the tournament and O’Neill just a stroke off the pace.

“We were all within a shot at the turn and then we all went

sideways — those two early and me a little later,” Nelson said.

Kaiser went 8-over on the last nine, while O’Neill and Nelson were each 5-over.

Nelson said everybody in the group was hitting good shots with a few exceptions, but the course just decided to show its teeth.

On the 415-yard, par-4 16th, Nelson appeared to be on cruise control to another crown when he hit two of his best shots of the day. He blasted a drive down the center of the fairway, leaving him 132 yards to the flag.

Nelson said he hit a perfect wedge into the green, but the green was softer than he expected. The ball spun back 40 feet down a hill to a difficult lie, leading to a double bogey.

Nelson then missed a par putt of 3 1-2 feet on No. 17.

On the par-4, dogleg left No. 18, Nelson thought he hit the perfect drive, but it bounded through the fairway and came to rest behind a tree. After chipping out, he thought he hit a great approach shot to a pin tucked at the back of the green, but this time the green was harder than he expected and the ball bounded off the back of the green, leaving him 12 yards from the pin.

O’Neill was on the front of the green and if he could twoputt, Nelson would need to get up and down just to force a playoff. Nelson said he had a landing area of a foot, or the ball would either be short of the green or roll down a hill to the front of the green.

Nelson was able to chip on within 7 feet of the pin. When

LSU thumps Miami ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nick Brossette ran for 125 yards with two touchdowns, grad transfer quarterback Joe Burrow won his first college start and No. 25 LSU made an opening statement with a 33-17 victory over No. 8 Miami on

Sunday night.

Once the game started, the Hurricanes never really backed the bravado they showed in a feisty exchange of words and some shoving between the teams during warmups about 75 minutes before kickoff.

Breidinger, Spinelli capture Mariner Tri Staff report Peninsula Clarion

Lauren Spinelli and Adam Breidinger won the Homer Tri on Saturday in Homer.

The event, which is sponsored by Cycle Logical and benefits the Homer High School swimming and diving team, drew 98 athletes — 47 as individuals and 51 as members of two- or three-person teams.

The triathlon included a 1,000-yard swim, 15-mile bike and five-mile run.

Spinelli won the women’s event at 1 hour, 56 minutes and a second, while Katra Wedeking was second at 1:56:43 and Sara Sayre was third at 1:59:48.

Breidinger won the men’s event at 1:40:49, while Adam Dixon was second at 1:44:43 and Martin Renner was third at 1:50:51.

The relay team Should Tri Harder of Derek Bynagle and Jordan Chilson won at 1:43:39, while Team Hauser (Becky Hauser and Scott Hauser) was second at 1:44:18 and Senoras de Pollo Loco (Hannah Overdorf, Bruce McVaugh and Dave Szynskie) was third at 1:59:46.

O’Neill three-putted, Nelson drained that 7-footer for the victory.

“It was the best up and down in my life from that distance considering the circumstances,” Nelson said.

The crazy finish also produced another first for Nelson: “I was 4-over for the last three holes and still won. That’s the first time I’ve said that.”

Darell Jelsma, who lives on Birch Ridge Golf Course, produced an eye-popping 155 to run away with gross in the men’s division. Tyler Young was second at 167 and Brody Vecera was third at 169.

Jelsma’s score was good enough to beat three of the pros.

“Yesterday the best thing was I finished with the same ball I started with,” Jelsma said.

He said he normally shoots 84 or 85 at Birch Ridge. He said his 77 on Saturday and 78 on Sunday were probably his best two rounds of the year.

“Who knows?” Jelsma said when asked about why he played so well. “One day you’re hitting it good and the next day you’re not. I was hitting it really well.”

Jelsma, who has been playing the course since it officially opened in 1974, also said his familiarity with the greens helps. He said the greens were fast, just the way he likes them.

Gary Davis had low net at 140, while Sid Cox was second at 141 and Dave Matthews was third at 145, winning a scorecard playoff.

For the second straight year, Teresa Sibolboro won low gross in the women’s division.

The difference this year was she had competition.

Last year, Sibolboro was the only woman, while this year she had to beat out three women for the title. She finished at 193 while Sue Stein was second at 197. Sally Hoagland had low net at 148.

Sibolboro said she is usually in the 80s, so she wasn’t happy with her game over the weekend.

“They played worse than I did,” she said. “It was brutal.

We just all had a hard time. The putting was hard.”

Girlfriend wonders when it’s time to mention her implants justment” or replacement, he will find out then and may resent the fact that you hadn’t told him. If you two are happy together -- and it appears you are -- I seriously doubt it will create a wedge between you. Telling him would be better than feeling guilty that you didn’t.

DEAR ABBY: I was at a sold-out performance recently, seated next to a fam- Abigail Van Buren ily with two young daughters.

The youngest daughter had on LED light-up shoes that would flash and blink whenever she stomped her feet.

She quietly watched the first half of the show, but got restless during the second half and began stomping her feet to watch the lights, which was extremely distracting in the dark venue. I gently asked if she would please stop and thanked her when she obliged, just as I would have done if she were my own daughter.

A few minutes later, the family got up and left. On the way out, her father said to me, “About my daughter’s shoes? She’s (expletive) 4!” in a tone that suggested I should have kept quiet and let her continue

doing it. Was I wrong to ask her to stop? The show began at 9:15 p.m. and, while not inappropriate, wasn’t geared toward entertaining kids. I’m not surprised she got bored, but her light-up shoes were ruining my experience, and her parents were doing nothing about it.

How could I have handled the situation better?

-- DISTRACTED IN THE EAST DEAR DISTRACTED: You did nothing wrong.

You couldn’t have handled the situation better than you did. The child’s father was out of line for using vulgarity, which was uncalled for. Rather than leave the performance, all the parents had to do was keep reinforcing the idea of being considerate to the other audience members -- a lesson that would serve their daughter well in the future.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Sept. 3, 2018: This year you open up to a new realm of ideas and a different way of thinking. You could find this change invigorating and exciting. Your domestic life becomes more important as well. If single, you tend to meet people in odd ways. The One could walk up to your door to ask a question or do some work for you. If you are attached, you are likely to have a new addition to the family. Don’t stress -- it could just be a puppy.

GEMINI often introduces you to new people.

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 You could find today confusing, yet the confusion stems from you. You can’t seem to get a strong sense of what to do and when to do it. You’ll want to be more nurturing, efficient and of service to others.

However, you also will want some time just for you. Tonight: Give in to a whim.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You can save the day with your ingenuity. Rustle up a flirtation that will be long remembered by both parties or have fun with an old friend. No task seems too hard for you to take on. You could be instrumental in bringing others together. Tonight: Tap into your creativity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be hard to stop, not that anyone really wants to anyway. You appear to be more instrumental on the homefront than you originally had thought. Make an adjustment. You could be distorting some very important news. Be re-

Rubes

alistic. Tonight: You don’t need to go far.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HH The real issue might be stopping you from speaking your mind.

If you are too bold or too abrupt, you can expect to hear a strong response. Be careful, as the other party knows how to jab you and hurt your feelings. Shield yourself from hostile comments. Tonight: Among the crowds.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You seem to be distracted by a specific person. A get-together proves rewarding, as you see people you have not been around in a while. Your gift of bringing out the fun and spontaneity in others makes the day special. Tonight: Make an impulsive gesture if you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Understand what is pushing you to react so strongly.

You might not be seeing a loved one clearly. You could be distorting who this person is and ignoring some negative qualities. Putting someone on a pedestal can only result in him or her falling off of it. Tonight: Accept an offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might have some difficulty staying in the present moment. You could be daydreaming more than you are aware. When interacting with others, make an effort to ground yourself. You might like what you hear and discover. Tonight: Make an effort to visit with a loved one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be off-kilter in the morning. By the afternoon, a partner, friend or loved one makes an effort to make you smile. Remain

responsive; this person means well.

Stay upbeat, knowing full well that an unusually strong connection lies between you. Tonight: Flirt away.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21 HHHH You might need to handle a personal matter differently. Understand what is going on with the other party involved, and listen to what he or she has to say. Acknowledge your position and let this person know where you are coming from.

Resolutions arrive quickly. Tonight: Be yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might want to take off and feel free, yet somehow obligations flow into the moment. Don’t make this a big deal. Others will appreciate your light and easy attitude. Honor a fast change that could make you feel unsure of how to respond. Tonight: Let the fun continue.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You could be off-kilter, but not for long. Your playful inner child emerges. Though you might be silly at times, you give permission to others to indulge in such behavior as well. You note an unusual connection between you and a new friend. Tonight: Keep it easy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your imagination will allow you to do the impossible when working with an idea. Others enjoy your ingenuity and how it helps in various situations. Though it might be difficult to verbalize your thoughts, keep trying. You eventually will break through. Tonight: Close to home.

FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Other uses for clean ice cream tubs: * Use to hold yarn or crayons. * Paint one and use it as a planter. * Store wrapping decorations in one. * Wash one out and use as a pet food bowl on trips.

-- Heloise WEDDING TRADITION Dear Heloise: It used to be the custom to throw rice at a wedding, but now it’s birdseed that’s thrown. However, please get permission before tossing any seed at the happy couple. Much of it is eaten by birds, but the seeds that are not eaten may sprout weeds in a church lawn.

-- The Reverend’s Wife, via email AS A REMINDER Dear Heloise: Just as a reminder, inside of the card for a wedding gift, make some notation of what the gift is. Something like “We hope you enjoy the blender” or “I hope you enjoy this floral vase for many years to come.” If the gift and card get separated, at least the couple will remember what you gave them when writing thank-you notes.

-- Arlene J., Bismarck, N.D. BETTER BUTTER Dear Heloise: Can you freeze butter?

-- Chloe D., Aberdeen, Wash.

Chloe, yes, you can. Store it in its original container or tightly wrapped until needed.

The freezer life for butter is about two to three months. To make it easier to spread, leave it on the counter for a few minutes.

-- Heloise GOOD FOR BOTH! Dear Heloise: I’m big on matching my body wash, lotion and fragrance, but the women’s versions of wash and lotion can be pricier.

I buy the men’s variety of body wash and lotion in my fave fragrance, and I save a lot.

The men’s is a nice counterbalance to the ladies’ perfume.

-- Shelley B. in New York

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a relationship with a very special man who is five years younger. We met on an online dating site and have been seeing each other for several years. We are well suited for each other and very much in love. We have now decided to live together, with the possibility of marriage if it won’t jeopardize our retirement incomes.

My dilemma is I have breast implants. I had the surgery 20 years ago when I was newly widowed and about to start dating again. I never told any of the men I dated, and I don’t believe anyone suspected. My breasts look and feel natural and they have enhanced my love life tremendously.

Now that this relationship is serious, I wonder if I need to tell my guy. If he leaves after I tell him, then I guess he wasn’t The One. I’d prefer not to say anything. I’ve had the implants so long, I feel they are part of me, not something foreign in my body. I am afraid he may have an altered opinion of my body after I tell him. Please advise.

-- OLD, BUT NOT DEAD DEAR O.B.N.D.: If you really believe he’d leave you after several years together because you told him you have breast implants, then he REALLY isn’t the man for you. I think you should level with him, because if one of the implants should need an “ad-
