In the news Officer rehired after admitting to punching homeless woman NOME (AP) — An Alaska police officer who punched a homeless woman while on duty has been rehired. Former Nome Police Community Services Officer Carl Putman was rehired this month as a police dispatcher after losing his job in February and pleading guilty to fourth-degree assault, the Anchorage Daily News reported . Putman told a colleague he hit 46-year-old Florence Habros with a “balled fist” after she passed out Feb. 18, according to prosecutors. Putman agreed to plead guilty and received a suspended imposition of sentence. He will not serve jail time if he meets the conditions of his release. Habros said the former officer ought to get jail time, not a new job. “They should have fired him for real,” she said. Putman had been working as a community services officer in Nome for five years when he picked up Habros in February and attempted to drive her to an emergency shelter. Habros, who was intoxicated, blacked out on the way. “(Putman) became frustrated and punched her in the head,” prosecutors wrote in charges filed April 25. The Nome Police Department declined to comment on Putman, the Anchorage Daily News reported. The city hired Putman back as a 911 dispatcher on a temporary basis to fill an immediate need, city officials said.

Grub on the go: Food trucks help local chefs make restaurants a reality By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The peninsula food scene Joe Spady grew up with is much different than the food scene in the area now. The 30-year-old, who opened Joe’s Meatball Shoppe in Soldotna earlier this summer, said he’s seeing more local food, different kinds of food and an increase in the number of food trucks in his hometown. “The food scene is growing amazingly,” Spady said. “It was a different food scene than I grew up in, which was just the same four identical restaurants.” Spady recalls area restaurants selling ubiquitous fare, like burgers, fries, tacos and pizza, but not much else. It didn’t seem people were craving much else, Spady said. “It’s neat to see the shift in people really wanting more,” Spady said. “It’s not that we simply didn’t have it, it’s that people weren’t asking for it.” These days, peninsula palates are hungry for something new. Wanna Kane lives in Nikiski. Last June, she opened up her food truck, Tuk Tuk Express where she sells Thaistyle street food. There are only a handful of restaurants in Nikiski, and Tuk Tuk Express offers something less typical than what’s found in the area. Kane was able to find a spot to park near her home, where she is open Monday through Friday, and has partnered with local brewery, Kassik’s, to provide sustenance for beer-drinkers on Friday nights. Kane said even in the short time she’s been in business, she’s seen her business grow and the community welcome her. “When I first opened it was

slow, but very steady,” Kane said. “People are used to us being here now. It is just a different variety for Nikiski. People seem to like the quick, pick-upand-go (style) of a food truck. We don’t see many food trucks out in Nikiski. Most are in Kenai and Soldotna, but I’ve seen growth, even in the short time I have been in business.”

When trying to come up with the concept of his food truck, Spady brainstormed food not readily available in the area. “We don’t have a meatball shop,” Spady said. “In New York, there’s a pretty popular shop called ‘The Meatball Shop.’ I loved that place when I lived in New York. So I was thinking, what if I do that and

kind of just transition all my sandwiches into meatball form… it’s fun to be a specific niche, while still doing what I’m passionate about.” Once he created his menu and brand, Spady was ready for business. For many, the cost of a food truck is often what holds aspiring cooks back from their mobile eatery dreams.

The Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District offers an affordable way for new business ventures to feel the industry out through the rental of a small trailer equipped with a kitchen: the ideal starter food truck. “I was originally going to get a booth and rent a kitchen, but the opportunity to have it See TRUCK, page A2

Fairbanks seismologist hooked on quakes since childhood By SAM FRIEDMAN Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

FAIRBANKS (AP) — Earthquakes have a way of coming at night. That’s not a geological truth, just something Matt Gardine has noticed during his shifts as an on-call seismologist at the Alaska Earthquake Center. With eight-hour workdays and 24 hours a day on-call, there’s just a good probability the on-call seismologist will get an earthquake alert at an inconvenient time. For example, at 1:30 a.m. Jan. 24, 2016, Gardine was awake putting his daughter to bed and had just been getting back into bed to get a few hours of sleep himself when he felt the earth shake, a seismic alarm clock that told him it was time to get to work.

“There was no point in going back to sleep, because if I felt it then certainly others felt it,” he said. A few seconds after he felt the shake, an alert on his phone sounded to inform him that the quake had been centered in Cook Inlet, more than 250 miles to the south. The event, known as the Iniskin earthquake, was eventually found to have a magnitude of 7.1 Gardine, 35, is office operations seismologist at the Alaska Earthquake Center on the West Ridge of the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus. He’s part of a staff of 17 people, about half of whom are seismologists. Gardine’s work marries two interests he’s had since childhood, computers and seismology. Recently, he made an earthquake animation that was popular online. It

showed how shaking from the largest-recorded earthquake on the North Slope propagated out across Alaska’s seismic sensors. Gardine has been interested in seismology since he watched a National Geographic episode about earthquakes and volcanoes that his grandfather taped when he was growing up in Denver. “I think that was the only VHS tape I ever wore out. I’d rewatch it over and over, every day after school,” he said. A pair of fourth grade research projects — one on crocodiles and one on volcanoes — helped solidify his interest in seismology. “That pretty much affirmed it for me. I don’t want to be a biologist, but earthquakes, there’s something about that. I always kind of knew after that,”

he said. Gardine went to college at Colorado School of Mines and came to Fairbanks for graduate school. While at the University of Alaska Fairbanks he met another seismology student whom he would go on to marry. Today both Matt and his wife, Lea Gardine, work at the earthquake center. Lea is the center’s outreach coordinator. Alaska experiences about 40,000 earthquakes a year, more than all of the earthquakes in Lower 48 combined and about 10 percent of all the earthquakes on the planet, Gardine said. Most are very small. The on-call seismologists get a phone alert when there’s a quake of magnitude 3.5 around Fairbanks or Anchorage or a magnitude 4 elsewhere in Alaska or a magnitude 5 in the seismologically active but sparsely

populated Aleutian islands. When awakened by a phone notification of an earthquake, the on-call seismologist reviews the information from automated sensors, which approximate the magnitude and location of the quake. Within about 15 minutes, the on-call seismologist tries to send out revised information about the size and the scale of the quake. As the minutes after an earthquake tick by, the on-call seismologist contacts people and institutions likely to be affected by the quake, such as the trans-Alaska oil pipeline, and begins to compile reports from people who felt the quake. These human reports are important because they answer questions about an earthquake that the earthquake center’s See QUAKE, page A2

Sitka police officer alleges cover-up of sexual assault By ALEX McCARTHY Juneau Empire

A Sitka police officer filed a lawsuit against the City of Sitka and the Sitka Police Department this week, making a variety of claims that include covering up a sexual assault, secretly purchasing automatic weapons and discriminating against him for supporting a co-worker who alleges sexual harassment. Ryan Silva, who began work-

ing for SPD in 2008, filed the lawsuit through the Northern Justice Project, LLC, a firm specializing in representing lowand middle-income Alaskans in lawsuits against state and federal governments. In a legal complaint filed Aug. 20, Attorney James J. Davis states that Silva is entitled to damages because SPD violated Alaska Statue 39.90.10039.90.150, known as the Alaska Whistleblower Act. This act

states that public employers cannot discriminate or punish an employee for reporting a matter of public concern. In this case, Davis alleges, Silva was punished for reporting the secret purchase of five automatic weapons and for aiding in the investigation of sexual harassment allegations against the department from Silva’s significant other, Mary Ferguson (another officer in the department). SPD Lt. Lance Ewers, accord-

ing to the complaint, convinced the department to purchase five automatic weapons in November 2017, despite there being no existing policies and procedures concerning the use of automatic weapons. Silva was worried about this purchase and thought it put the public at risk, according to the complaint, but his concerns were met by Ankerfelt telling Silva to keep the purchases a secret. Ewers, according to the com-

plaint, is a friend of Ankerfelt’s and is named multiple times as working with Ankerfelt to discriminate against Silva. Silva is still employed by the department, City and Borough of Sitka Community Affairs Director Maegan Bosak said by phone Friday. Silva is currently on administrative leave, she said. Bosak also read a statement from the city. “There’s currently an ongoSee POLICE, page A3

all in one was so nice,” Spady said. “It’s crazy affordable. So many people are like ‘oh you’re starting a food truck. How fun. I’ve always dreamt of starting a food truck.’ That’s when I’m like, ‘our state is so good for small business and with this opportunity, literally $100 and you can start your food truck this week.’” Heidi Chay, district manager of Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District, said the trailer, which was acquired in 2007, was originally set up as a test kitchen and a small business incubator. The Kenai Soil and Water Conservation District rents out other equipment that can help small businesses, especially farmers. The trailer is used at the Kenai Peninsula Fair for the 4-H barbecue, fundraisers and small businesses who want to test new products. Since Spady started Joe’s Meatball Shop, Chay said she’s received several inquiries for the trailer from people interested in developing their small business ideas. “Turns out a lot of people have this food truck dream,” Chay said. “This has been the turnaround year because Joe is so generous about telling people about us.” Andy Heuiser is the events and program director at the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce.

sensors can’t. “When people hear about an earthquake, the question they always ask is, ‘What was the magnitude?’” Gardin said. “We can tell them the magnitude, but that’s not really the question they’re asking, especially if they felt it. The question is, ‘How much shaking did I feel?’ ‘What does that mean to me, that kind of shaking?’” Magnitude gives a rough approximation of an earthquake’s power, but how people experience it depends on factors such

He’s been working closely with food vendors through events put on by the chamber, including the Wednesday market, which sees perhaps the largest concentration of food trucks in the area. He said the food vendor scene really took off around 2014, just around the time Music in the Park was starting. “When Music in the Park started, I think it really helped those food vendors quite a bit,” Heuiser said. ”They have a good customer base with the lunch rush and then with the evening rush.” Originally, Spady was hoping to set up Joe’s Meatball Shop at the Wednesday Market, only to find there was a waitlist for food trucks. “Professionally, I’m (upset), but personally, I’m so excited for our community,” Spady said. “What a wonderful problem to have. There’s so much variety. The variety of food trucks we have is way bigger than the variety of restaurants we have in town, which is so cool.” To accommodate this new type of eatery, the city of Soldotna had to modify its regulations in 2015 to make it simpler for mobile food vendors to do business. Director of Economic Development and Planning for the City of Soldotna, John Czarnezki said he thinks the updated codes have been wellreceived by businesses. “I can’t say whether the code changes have promoted small business — we have no way

to measure,” Czarnezki said. “But, anecdotally we have noticed a large number and variety of food trucks in the area.” Czarnezki said there are many factors that can influence food truck growth, like the number and type of events and venues where they can operate, the status of brick and mortar restaurants, and the health of the local economy. In Kenai, where Tammy Olson runs Double O food truck, there are far fewer food trucks operating. Olson said this is because of ordinances maintained by the city that make it difficult to run a food truck. “Kenai needs to change its ordinances,” Olson said. “They are not food truck friendly.” Double O started in April of 2015. The food truck moved its business into the airport in 2016. The business left the airport restaurant location this year, and continues to operate out of the Double O trailer, where Olson said they make triple the business compared to the airport. “It seems people enjoy food trucks more than a restaurant,” Olson said. Elsewhere on the peninsula, food trucks have appeared in even the smallest of communities. In Cooper Landing, David Bond opened up Blue Yeti in 2015 in front of the grocery store. When Bond first opened, two other trucks also opened in the area. One truck went out of business, and the other is Libby’s Bites on the Fly, which sits

near Wildman’s. “I thought that I had a great idea, only to find out two more trucks were opening at the same time,” Bond said. He said he had his fair share of challenges starting his truck in Cooper Landing. Finding a spot to park that had visibility, a power source, a restroom nearby and parking with the ability to turn around was difficult for Bond. Blue Yeti is also a solo project for him. “My biggest challenge is working alone,” Bond said. “I do the planning, purchasing, preparation, order taking, cooking and all the washing by myself. It’s a one-man show, but that may be some of the appeal.” Despite these challenges Bond says the experience is a blast. “I get to sit in the center of town and visit with many of my customers, who are good friends as well,” Bond said. “The opportunity to do quality, small-batch cooking is also fun for me. I like to pass the goodness onto others.” Spady said he’s learned a lot since starting Joe’s Meatball Shop, and that it’s been challenging due to space. He said he plans to be open through the end of summer and then will most likely move Joe’s Meatball Shop into its own brick and mortar this winter.

as whether they’re on hard bedrock that doesn’t shake as much or soft soils that shake more, he said. In the 2016 Iniskin quake, neighborhoods within a few miles of each other in Anchorage experienced markedly different levels of shaking based on the composition of the ground beneath them. Gardine wasn’t the on-duty seismologist when the magnitude 6.4 quake hit the North Slope on Aug. 12. But when he heard about the quake, he knew it would be a good one to illustrate with an animated map that shows energy from an earthquake dissipating out from the epicenter. Gardine made a computer program to generate this

kind of graphic a few years ago, but the animations didn’t look very impressive because of a California-sized hole without sensors in northern and western Alaska. A set of temporary sensors installed last year by the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology allows for viewers to see the movement spread across the state. In Gardine’s graphic, a label displaying the time flashes through the minutes between 6:57 a.m. and 7:27 a.m. Aug. 12, while circles that show the locations of seismic sensors in Alaska flash different shades of brown, based on the degree of the ground shaking there.

Besides making a pretty light show, this type of animation helps the general public better understand earthquakes, which is a core part of the Alaska Earthquake Center’s mission, Gardine said. “Many scientific plots that come out are dense. They can be hard to interpret if you’re not a scientist. We wanted something that was userfriendly. As seismologists, yeah, we know that earthquake energy radiates out from the source at a certain speed,” he said. “But that’s not always intuitive to the general public. This is an easy way of explaining.”

Pennsylvania grand jury report offers clear, damning picture of decades of church abuse

Trump should come clean now

If it wasn’t obvious before, it should be now: President Donald Trump is in an impeachment fight. It hasn’t fully ripened yet. That won’t happen unless Democrats take the House and do so with a healthy margin in the fall. But Michael Cohen’s statement that he committed campaign finance violations at the behest of Trump makes it that much more likely Democrats will impeach him once they have the power and the votes to do it. This means Trump is in a political fight more than a legal one. His concern shouldn’t be the Southern District of New York — current Justice Department guidance says a sitting president can’t be indicted — but the House Judiciary Committee. His strategy shouldn’t be aimed at convincing prosecutors that he stayed on the right side of the law, but the broader public that he deserves to stay in office. The most powerful tool that he has in that effort is telling the truth, exactly the approach most uncongenial to him. The American public has a nearly boundless ability to forgive. Wayward politicians have fallen back on it throughout our history, from Alexander Hamilton to John F. Kennedy to Bill Clinton. It is in this spirit that Donald Trump should confess his affairs with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, admit he wanted to keep them quiet for a variety of reasons (sheer embarrassment, the potential political fallout, and the emo-

By and large, criminal complaints, affidavits and other documents prepared by law enforcement agencies are dry and poorly written. They’re portentous, heavy on jargon and short on style, with one simple sentence following another monotonously. Even if rich in detail, getting through them can be a slog. Not so the Pennsylvania grand jury report on sexual abuse of children in the Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg and Scranton dioceses. Echoing the format of a report another grand jury produced two years ago about sexual abuse in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese, the 884-page document released Aug. 14 grabs readers from the very first sentence: “We, the members of this grand jury, need you to hear this.” What follows, as much of the nation knows by now, is a comprehensive account of the horrors perpetrated on children by men of the cloth over several decades. The graphic details of the crimes and scope of the church’s cover-ups are appalling. But shock factor alone does not explain why the public reaction has been so visceral and why the report has resonated so strongly with so many. Presentation does. The report has a conversational, achingly honest tone that lays bare the misery of the victims, the heinousness of the crimes, the hypocrisy of a church that spurned the central tenets of its faith and a statute of limitations that now bars charges against most of the offenders. “We are sick over all the crimes that will go unpunished and uncompensated,” the grand jury says. “This report is our only recourse. We are going to name their names and describe what they did — both the sex offenders and those who concealed them. We are going to shine a light on their conduct, because that is what the victims deserve. And we are going to make our recommendations for how the laws should change so that maybe no one will have to conduct another inquiry like this one.” While officially the product of the grand jury, the document was written largely by a team from the criminal division of the state attorney general’s office. Attorney General Josh Shapiro was among the drafters and editors. The report is free of jargon. It minces no words and pulls no punches, with some criticism leveled at law enforcement officials who failed to pursue allegations of abuse over the years and “left children without their rightful civic watchdogs.” It personalizes the crimes and connects readers to the victims, introducing 68-year-old Julianne, assaulted when she was 14; Joe, who waited 55 years to tell the grand jury about the “naked, masturbating priest who told him to take off his pants and get into bed”; and Bob, 83, who “can’t bear to be touched by a man, not even to shake hands or to hug his own sons,” because of what happened to him long ago. During an investigation that spanned two years, the grand jurors reviewed half a million pages of diocesan documents. They were a trove of evidence and a source of nefarious turns of phrase — “circle of secrecy” and “secret archive,” for example — that added heft to the grand jury’s report. The groundswell of anger the report engendered creates an atmosphere ripe for change. The grand jury’s proposals to expand civil liability and end the statute of limitations for certain sexual offenses can be fodder for informed public discussion largely because the grand jury presented its findings as a compelling nar- Time for high-speed internet rative in which anger, sadness and passion for change leap from to reach beyond the cities the pages.

work out well for Republicans in the Clinton impeachment). His lawyers might not like his coming clean, but Trump has to decide whether he’s going to worry chiefly about fighting off an impeachment push and winning again in 2020, or forestalling the threat of getting indicted sometime in 2021 should he lose his re-election. There’s no guarantee, but if he is seen as dealing with the issue forthrightly now, it makes it harder for prosecutors to go after him in another three years because there’s a norm against further pursuing defeated politicians (one that he would be wise to stop eroding, by the way). Of course, all of this is fantasy, given Trump’s natural instincts. A pugilist who never wants to admit error, he surely believes that he can bluff and improvise his way out of the mess, and wait to abandon elements of his current version of events until strictly necessary. He thinks that he can continue to make his investigators the issue, and that so long as he has the vast majority of his party with him, he has a brake against a removal vote in the Senate. He might be right. This is what he’s done his entire adult life. But the stakes are larger than ever before, and even a moment’s reflection on how he got in this fix would suggest perhaps giving forthrightness a try.

ed dial-up service that was discontinued about 10 years ago our only option has been via satellite internet/tv providers. In the meantime, will you at least stop by my home and finally bury my temporary telephone line that you laid above ground five years ago during a service call and temporary fix? The ACS tech and later the ACS office stated that ACS would return within two weeks to dig and replace my temporary telephone line with a permanent below ground line. Every year in May I call up to ACS, as you instruct me to do to get on the ‘dig list’, pleading with you to bury my phone line as it gets lost in the grass around my home and is constantly in the way of snow plowing during the winter. Every year I am told that I am on ‘the dig list’ and that it will be done before the ‘dig’ season ends in September.

As the end of the ACS ‘dig season’ in September fast approaches, I am faced with another year of broken promises from ACS. It is a continual frustration with ACS service and promises. I have walked into the ACS yard in Soldotna where the old customer service office used to be and talked to the tech manager there, I have stopped by the corporate offices in Anchorage to no avail.

rules. There are several advantages to this approach. First, Trump doesn’t lose anything in terms of his reputation because literally no one believes his denials of the alleged affairs. Second, it gets his story on a much more believable footing. The idea that Michael Cohen paid off women who were making up stories, and Trump knew nothing about it in real time — despite a tape suggesting otherwise — and then happily ponied up from his own funds as soon as he learned about it is otherworldly. Third, it would be a shock to the system like few other things he could do in office. Such is his reflexive aggression that a little contrition would play as big as the firing of James Comey. Fourth, there’s a good chance that Democrats will seem petty and vindictive for impeaching him over the payments if he’s really tried to put the underlying conduct behind him (this certainly didn’t

subdued Zimbabwe Pope on McCarrick claims: Ainaugurates president “I won’t say a word about it.” after disputed vote By FARAI MUTSAKA Associated Press

By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE — Pope Francis declined Sunday to confirm or deny claims by the Vatican’s retired ambassador to the United States that he knew in 2013 about sexual misconduct allegations against the former archbishop of Washington, Theodore McCarrick, but rehabilitated him anyway. Francis said the 11-page text by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, which reads in part like a homophobic attack on Francis and his allies, “speaks for itself” and that he wouldn’t comment on it. Francis was asked by a U.S. reporter during an airborne press conference Sunday if Vigano’s claims that the two discussed the McCarrick allegations in 2013 were true. Francis was also asked about Vigano’s claims that McCarrick was already under sanction at the time, but that Francis rehabilitated him. Francis said he had read Vigano’s document and trusted journalists to judge for themselves. “It’s an act of trust,” he said. “I won’t say a word about it.” The National Catholic Register and another conservative site, LifeSiteNews, published Vigano’s text Sunday as the pope wrapped up a two-day visit to Ireland dominated by the clerical sex abuse scandal. Vigano, 77, a conservative whose hardline anti-gay views are well known, urged the reformist pope to resign over what he called Francis’ own culpability in covering up McCarrick’s crimes. Francis accepted McCarrick’s resignation as cardinal last month, after a U.S. church investigation determined that an accusation he had sexually abused a minor was credible. Since then, another man has come forward to say McCarrick began molesting him starting when he was 11, and several former seminarians have said McCarrick abused and harassed them when they were in seminary. The accusations have created a crisis of confidence in the U.S. and Vatican hierarchy, because it was apparently an open secret that McCarrick regularly invited seminarians to his New Jersey beach house, and into his bed. Coupled with the devastating allegations of sex abuse and cover-up in a recent Pennsylvania grand jury report — which found that 300 priests had abused more than 1,000 children over 70 years in six dioceses — the scandal has led to calls for heads to roll and for a full Vatican investigation into who knew what and when about McCarrick. Vigano apparently sought to answer some of those questions. His letter identifies by

name the Vatican cardinals and U.S. archbishops who were informed about the McCarrick affair, an unthinkable expose for a Vatican diplomat to make. He said documents backing up his version of events are in Vatican archives. The Vatican’s ambassador to the U.S. from 2011 to 2016, Vigano said his two immediate predecessors “did not fail” to inform the Holy See about accusations against McCarrick, starting in 2000. Vigano said he himself sent at least two memos on him. He said Pope Benedict XVI eventually sanctioned McCarrick in 2009 or 2010 to a lifetime of penance and prayer, and to no longer celebrate Mass in public or travel. He said Francis asked him about McCarrick when they met on June 23, 2013, at the Vatican’s Santa Marta hotel where the pope lives, three months after Francis was elected pope. Vigano wrote that he told Francis: “Holy Father, I don’t know if you know Cardinal McCarrick, but if you ask the Congregation of Bishops, there is a dossier this thick about him. He corrupted generations of seminarians and priests, and Pope Benedict ordered him to withdraw to a life of prayer and penance.” Soon thereafter, Vigano wrote, he was surprised to find that McCarrick had started traveling on missions on behalf of the church, including to China. McCarrick was also one of the Vatican’s intermediaries in the U.S.-Cuba talks in 2014. Vigano’s claim that McCarrick had been ordered by Benedict to stay out of public ministry and retire to a lifetime of prayer is somewhat disputed, given that McCarrick enjoyed a fairly public retirement. But Vigano insisted the sanctions had been imposed, and said

a former counselor in the embassy at the time was “prepared to testify” about the “stormy” meeting when McCarrick was informed of them. Barry Coburn, McCarrick’s civil attorney, said the allegations in the Vigano letter are “serious.” “Archbishop McCarrick, like any other person, has a right to due process. He looks forward to invoking that right at the appropriate time,” he said in a statement. The letter also contains a lengthy diatribe about homosexuals and liberals in the Catholic church. It often reads like an ideological manifesto, naming all of Francis’ known supporters in the U.S. hierarchy as being complicit in a cover-up of McCarrick’s misdeeds. “Now that the corruption has reached the very top of the church’s hierarchy, my conscience dictates that I reveal those truths regarding the heartbreaking case of the archbishop emeritus of Washington,” Vigano wrote. Vigano, however, also has had his own problems with allegations of cover-up, and he and Francis had a major dustup during Francis’ 2015 visit to the U.S., which Vigano organized. In that incident, a leading U.S. opponent of gay marriage, Kim Davis, was among those invited to meet with the pope at Vigano’s Washington residence. Francis was so enraged that Davis’ supporters had leaked word of the meeting that the Vatican subsequently insisted he only held one private audience while there: with one of his former students, a gay man and his partner. The cover-up accusation, which Vigano denied, concerned allegations that he tried to quash an investigation into the former archbishop of St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minnesota,

John Nienstedt, who was accused of misconduct with adult seminarians. In 2016, the National Catholic Reporter said Vigano allegedly ordered the investigation wrapped up and a piece of evidence destroyed. The report cited a 2014 memo from a diocesan official that was unsealed following the conclusion of a criminal investigation into the archdiocese. No charges were filed. In a statement provided to the AP Sunday about the Nienstedt case, Vigano said a Vatican investigation of the allegation found no wrongdoing on his part. He said the allegation that he destroyed evidence was false and that his efforts to have the archdiocese correct the record have been met with silence. Nienstedt was forced to resign in 2015 over complaints about his handling of sex abuse cases. Vigano’s name also made headlines during the 2012 “Vatileaks” scandal, when some of his letters were published. In them, he begged not to be transferred to the Vatican embassy in Washington from the administration of the Vatican City State. He claimed he was being punished for having exposed corruption in the Vatican. The letters showed a clash with Benedict’s No. 2, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, who is also a target of his McCarrick missive. The document’s authenticity was confirmed to The Associated Press by an Italian journalist, Marco Tosatti, who said he was with Vigano when the archbishop wrote it Wednesday. “He was very emotional and upset at the end the effort,” Tosatti told AP, adding that Vigano left Tosatti’s home afterward without saying where he was going.

Iran says ‘no third party’ will limit its Syria support By ALBERT AJI Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria — Iran’s defense minister said Sunday his country will continue its support of the Syrian government to ensure improved security in the region, adding that the nature of the two countries’ cooperation won’t be decided by a “third party.” Israel has expressed concern over Iran’s growing influence in Syria, accusing Iran of seeking to establish a foothold near the frontier with the Jewish state. The United States has been pressing for Iran to withdraw its fighters from Syria. In recent meetings between U.S. and Russian officials, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton said he and Russian officials are discussing the issue, without providing details, calling it a U.S priority. Iran says its presence in

Syria is at the invitation of the Syrian government. “No third party can affect the presence of Iranian advisers in Syria,” Iran’s Defense Minister Amir Hatami told reporters in Damascus. His comments came at the start of a two-day visit to Syria, where he met with the Syrian President Bashar Assad and other senior officials. The high-level military delegation headed by Hatami is expected to boost cooperation between the two countries, and Iranian media reported that the two are expected to sign new military and defense agreements. Iran has provided key support to Assad in the seven-year civil war, sending thousands of military advisers and allied militiamen to bolster his forces. Hatami said he hopes Iran can play a “productive role” in Syria’s reconstruction, according to Iran’s Press TV. “Iran will spare no effort to

maintain Syria’s territorial integrity, because security in the country will help (improve) regional stability,” Hatami said in a meeting with his Syrian counterpart, General Ali Abdullah Ayyoub, in Damascus on Sunday, according to Press TV. He later met with Assad. Israel has expressed concern over Iran’s growing influence in Syria, accusing Iran of seeking to establish a foothold near the frontier with the Jewish state. Earlier this year, Israeli jets carried out a number of strikes against suspected Iranian bases in Syria, including an unprecedented bombardment of Iranian military installations in May, reportedly in retaliation to an Iranian rocket barrage on Israeli positions in the occupied Golan Heights. The two-day visit comes as Syria gears up for an expected offensive in the northern Idlib province, the last major rebel

stronghold, which also has a large al-Qaida presence. The province is home to nearly 3 million people and borders Turkey, which fears an offensive may trigger a humanitarian and security catastrophe. Ayyoub, the Syrian defense minister, said his government is determined to restore government control over Idlib whether through reconciliation deals or with military operations. A Turkish, Russian and Iranian summit is expected in early September in Tehran to discuss Syria. Idlib was on top of the agenda during talks between Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on Friday. Turkey has sought to delay any offensive, while Russia has expressed growing impatience, accusing insurgents of targeting its forces from the province.

HARARE, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe on Sunday inaugurated a president for the second time in nine months as the country once jubilant over the fall of longtime leader Robert Mugabe is now largely subdued by renewed harassment of the opposition and a bitterly disputed election. The military-backed President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who again took the oath of office, faces the mammoth task of rebuilding a worsening economy and uniting a nation divided by a vote that many hoped would deliver change. The 75-year-old Mnangagwa, who took power from his mentor Mugabe with the military’s help in November , said “my arms are outstretched” to main opposition leader Nelson Chamisa after the Constitutional Court on Friday rejected opposition claims of vote-rigging and upheld the president’s narrow July 30 victory. Some supporters of the president, however, carried a makeshift coffin bearing Chamisa’s name during Sunday’s ceremony. “In just nine months we’ve birthed a new Zimbabwe,” said Mnangagwa, who has promised democratic and economic reforms after Mugabe’s repressive 37-year rule. He opened his speech by reading a letter from the 94-year-old Mugabe, whose firing of Mnangagwa sparked November’s dramatic events, offering congratulations and saying he could not attend because “I’m not well.” Mnangagwa told the crowd that “our democracy has indeed come of age” and he invited all political parties to unite and “develop the motherland.” The 40-year-old Chamisa on Saturday said he respectfully

rejects the court ruling and called the inauguration “false.” “They know they can’t invite me to a wedding where I was the one supposed to be receiving the gifts,” he said. Spokesman Nkululeko Sibanda said “we haven’t received any formal invitation.” Ruling party spokesman Paul Mangwana criticized Chamisa over the inauguration snub. “It is important for nationbuilding at this critical time,” Mangwana told The Associated Press. “The problem is the (Movement for Democratic Change party) did not give us a good opposition leader, they gave us a schoolboy, so he is playing schoolboy politics.” Upbeat supporters of the president and ruling ZANUPF party filled the 60,000-seat National Sports Stadium in the capital, Harare, some catching buses and trucks in villages hundreds of kilometers away. The heads of state of South Africa, Congo, Rwanda and Zambia and elsewhere attended. The mood was less enthusiastic in downtown Harare, an opposition stronghold. “He is not my president, why should I go?” asked one resident, Emmanuel Mazunda. The government badly needed a credible election to end its status as a global pariah, have international sanctions lifted — Mnangagwa himself remains under U.S. sanctions — and open the door to investment. State-run media this month estimated Zimbabwe’s debt arrears at $5.6 billion. Analysts say the president’s immediate tasks in his fiveyear term should include solving severe cash shortages and high unemployment that has forced thousands of people into the streets as vendors. Millions of others have fled the country over the years.

Shooting at Florida mall’s video Judge rejects game tournament leaves 3 dead executive orders

changing federal worker protections

By RUSS BYNUM and BRENDAN FARRINGTON Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A gunman opened fire Sunday at an online video game tournament as it was being livestreamed from a Florida mall, killing two people and then fatally shooting himself in an attack that sent several others to hospitals, authorities said. Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams said authorities believe 24-year-old David Katz of Baltimore carried out the attack using at least one handgun at the Jacksonville Landing, a collection of restaurants and shops along the St. Johns River. He said the man died from a self-inflicted gunshot, adding authorities were still making final confirmation of his identity with the FBI assisting them in Baltimore. Nine other people were wounded by gunfire and all were in stable condition Sunday evening after going to hospitals, Williams said. He added that two others were hurt as people sought to flee the gunfire in the panic and chaos that ensued. Katz was in Jacksonville for the “Madden NFL 19” video game tournament, authorities said. The games maker, EA Sports, lists a David Katz as a 2017 championship winner. Thee competition was held in a gaming bar that shares space with a pizzeria. Viewers could watch the games online and see the players. Investigators were looking into online video that appeared to capture the scene right before the shooting began, Williams said. A red dot that appears to be a laser pointer is visible on the chest of a player seconds before the first of about a dozen gunshots rings out. Marquis Williams, 28, and his girlfriend, Taylor Poind-

exter, 26, both from Chicago, were ordering pizza at the bar when they heard the first shot. “Initially we thought it was a balloon popping, but there weren’t any balloons in the room,” said Williams, who had taken part in the tournament earlier. “Then we heard repeat shots and we took off running.” Williams added: “The first shot everybody just turned and looked. After the second, third and fourth shots, everybody took off and ran for the exits.” Taylor Poindexter, an aspiring gamer, said she had hoped to gain some experience at the tournament. She said she never saw the face of the man who was shooting. But she recalled, “We did see him with two hands on a gun walking back just popping rounds.” He said the two ran to a nearby restaurant where workers were waving people in, hid-

ing in a bathroom until police arrived. Jason Lake, the founder and CEO of compLexity, a company that owns professional e-sports teams, said on Twitter that one of his players, 19-yearold Drini Gjoka, was shot in the thumb. Gjoka tweeted: “The tourney just got shot up. Im leavinng and never coming back.” Then: “I am literally so lucky. The bullet hit my thumb. Worst day of my life.” On Sunday evening, an FBI official in Baltimore confirmed that its agents were searching the family home of the man authorities said they believe was behind the attack. An FBI spokesman, Dave Fitz, said agents had gone to the house of the man’s father in Baltimore. He declined to release specifics, citing the ongoing investigation.

In Washington, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said President Donald Trump had been briefed on the attack and the White House was monitoring the situation. The Jacksonville Landing, in the heart of the city’s downtown, also hosts concerts and other entertainment. It was the site of a Trump rally in 2015, early in his campaign for the White House. The sheriff’s office used Twitter and Facebook immediately after the shooting to warn people to stay far away and to ask anyone who was hiding to call 911. Police also barricaded a three-block radius around the mall and police boats patrolled the nearby river. Police also took up positions on a bridge overlooking the river.

Replacing McCain is a political balancing act By MELISSA DANIELS and NICHOLAS RICCARDI Associated Press

PHOENIX — Sen. John McCain’s death in office has handed Arizona’s governor an empty Senate seat to give out — and a difficult political puzzle to solve before he does. Arizona law requires only that Gov. Doug Ducey name a replacement who is a member of McCain’s Republican party and who will fill the seat until the next general election in 2020. But in a state with a deeply divided Republican Party, where McCain was a towering but divisive figure, the choice is far more complicated. Ducey is balancing the demands of the many conservative Arizona Republicans who have soured on McCain due to his dovish immigration stance, criticism of President Trump and vote against a rollback of President Obama’s health care law. They are wary of Ducey appointing a moderate. But naming someone with dramatically different views from McCain could be viewed as disrespectful to McCain’s legacy, carrying its own risks. In either case, Ducey wants to set the party up to hold the seat two years from now, no easy task given the turmoil in his party. The decision is under close scrutiny in Washington. While McCain has been treated for cancer in Arizona and unable to vote in Washington, his party’s already narrow Senate majority had shrunk from two votes to one. With the confirmation of Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, scheduled for next month the GOP needs every reliable vote it can get. Ducey’s office has heard from Vice President Mike Pence’s aides about the choice, a person familiar with the discussions said Sunday. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter and asked for ano-

nymity. A day after McCain’s death, political types from Arizona to Washington were buzzing with options. The senator’s wife, Cindy McCain, was viewed as a possibility, as was former Sen. John Kyl and former McCain chief of staff, Grant Woods. Another group of former lawmakers and state officials were floated as middle-ground options — including Ducey’s chief of staff Kirk Adams — who might not anger the right wing of the party. “If he picks someone too far left, we’re going to have a primary in two years,” said Constantine Querard, a conservative Republican strategist. Ducey himself faces a weak primary challenge from his right in the state’s primary elections Tuesday, and spokesman Daniel Ruiz said on Sunday that the appointment will not be made until after McCain’s funeral, which will likely be next week. “Now is a time for remembering and honoring a consequential life well lived,” Ruiz’s statement said. Doug Cole, a former McCain staffer and veteran Arizona strategist, said one of Ducey’s key choices has to be whether he wants to name someone who wants the job for the long term. “Do I appoint a caretaker or do I appoint someone who will stand for election?” Cole asked. “Does he choose from the family?” Some observers predict the governor will be solicitous to the McCain family’s wishes. That’s led to widespread speculation that Cindy McCain could be selected, likely under the assumption that she would not run for the seat in 2020. But Cindy McCain’s politics are largely unknown. Another caretaker option would be Kyl, now a Washington lobbyist viewed as a safe, uncontroversial choice. But Kyl already is tasked with shepherd-

WASHINGTON — A federal judge dealt a blow Saturday to President Donald Trump’s efforts to “promote more efficient” government, ruling that key provisions of three recent executive orders “undermine federal employees’ right to bargain collectively” under federal law. U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said Trump had “exceeded his authority” in issuing the orders. The White House had no comment and referred questions to the Justice Department, which said it was reviewing the judge’s ruling and considering options. Federal worker unions that had sued to block Trump’s use of his executive authority in this area applauded the outcome. “President Trump’s illegal action was a direct assault on the legal rights and protections that Congress specifically guaranteed to the public-sector employees across this country who keep our federal government running every single day,” said J. David Cox Sr., national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest of the federal worker unions. Cox’s organization, which represents about 700,000 of the approximately 2 million-member federal workforce, was first to challenge the executive orders, filing two lawsuits. The executive orders, issued by the White House in May, covered collective bargaining rights, grievance procedures and use of “official time.” Andrew Bremberg, the president’s domestic policy adviser, said at the time that the orders would “promote more efficient government” by overhauling civil service rules to make it easier to remove poor-performing employees and ensure that taxpayer dollars are used more efficiently. Departments and agencies were directed to engage in tougher negotiations over col-

lective bargaining agreements and to conclude talks in under a year to limit the expense of “drawn-out bargaining.” Contracts were to be renegotiated to limit the amount of time authorized employees could spend on union business during official work hours, known as “official time.” Lobbying and pursuing grievances on taxpayer-funded union time were to be curtailed, and the orders also aimed to streamline the amount of time needed to terminate a federal worker for poor performance or misconduct. The process currently takes between six months and a year, and can last longer if the employee appeals the dismissal. The unions argued that the executive orders were illegal because federal law requires the government and federal employee unions to negotiate over such changes. Jackson agreed, ruling that Trump had overstepped his authority. “This Court finds that these provisions conflict with congressional intent in a manner that cannot be sustained,” she wrote in a 122-page opinion. It was unclear Saturday whether the administration planned to appeal. “In this Court’s view, these directives undermine federal employees’ right to bargain collectively as protected by” federal law, “and as a result, the President must be deemed to have exceeded his authority in issuing them,” the judge wrote. Tony Reardon, national president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents 150,000 federal government employees, said Congress meant for unions and agencies to bargain over the use of official time and grievance procedures. “The judge rightly found that the president is not above the law and cannot, through these blatantly anti-union and anti-worker executive orders, eviscerate employee rights and undermine the collective bargaining process established by Congress,” Reardon said.

ing the Kavanaugh nomination and Republicans may be loath to upend that process. Barrett Marson, a Republican strategist in Phoenix, said that if Ducey opts for someone with long-term designs on the seat, “he has to pick someone who can galvanize voters in 2020.” Woods, a former Arizona attorney general and McCain aide, is another possibility. But he is known for sharing McCain’s stances on immigration, which could be anathema to the state’s conservative voters. Arizona operatives speculate that one of two former congressmen from the state, John Shadegg and Matt Salmon, could fill the seat. They’re both GOP stalwarts who don’t have a history of feuding with the base, as is Adams, Ducey’s top aide and a onetime speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives. State Treasurer Eileen Klein could also be a strong candidate in 2020 if Ducey wants to pick someone who’d run for election rather than a caretaker, according to Republican operatives. The person who was previously seen as McCain’s most likely successor is Arizona Rep. Martha McSally. Like the latesenator, she’s a former fighter pilot — one of the first women to fly in combat and an air force

colonel. But she is running for the Senate seat vacated by Sen. Jeff Flake, who, like McCain, outraged the state’s conservative base for bucking Trump on immigration and other issues. Like Ducey, McSally faces a primary on Tuesday, but her challenge from the right has been stiffer than the governor’s. It’s also illustrated how fraught the McCain issue is for Arizona Republicans. One of her rivals, former state senator Kelli Ward, ran against McCain in the 2016 GOP primary. On Saturday, hours before McCain died, Ward speculated on Facebook that the McCain family announced the senator was ending medical treatment on Friday to distract from her final push in the primary. In a sign of how hostile many GOP primary voters are to the state’s late senior senator, earlier this month McSally had avoided mentioning McCain’s name while boasting that she’d been with Trump at the signing of the defense bill named in McCain’s honor. McCain supporters and the senator’s daughter Meghan lacerated McSally for following the president’s lead in not mentioning McCain. McSally said she didn’t intend to snub McCain and went on to praise him.

BROOKLYN, Iowa — The father of the 20-year-old Iowa woman whose body was found in a cornfield last week wants people to remember her by “celebrating something wonderful” — not by the way she died. Mollie Tibbets’ father, Rob Tibbetts, urged the hundreds of people at his daughter’s funeral on Sunday afternoon to remember her passion for life and her desire to help others. Her body was found last Tuesday after a suspect lead police to the field where her body had been since July 18. To highlight his call to celebrate “wonderful” things, Rob Tibbetts recognized a couple who had just married the day before during his eulogy inside the gymnasium at BrooklynGuernsey-Malcom High School. Tibbetts graduated from the school in 2017. More than 1,000 people filled the gymnasium for Tibbetts’ funeral in the central Iowa city of 1,500 where she grew up. Tibbetts had been staying in Brooklyn during a summer break from her studies at the University of Iowa. Cristhian Bahena Rivera is charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts’ death.

Trump suggests US close to ‘big’ trade agreement with Mexico WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says the United States is close to a “big Trade Agreement” with Mexico and he’s citing improving ties between the two countries. Trump says on Twitter that the U.S.-Mexico relationship “is getting closer by the hour” and he says a trade deal “could be happening soon!” He’s spoken of better relations with America’s neighbor following the rise of Mexican President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. The U.S. and Mexico have been discussing a trade deal as part of negotiations over the North American Free Trade Agreement. The Trump administration is seeking a revised version of that trade deal with Mexico and Canada. Trump’s relationship with Mexico has been strained over his push for it to pay for his border wall. — Associated Press

Around the Nation Koch family’s new private school to open in Kansas WICHITA, Kan. — A new Wichita private school financed by members of the Koch family is preparing to open its doors to preschool and elementary-age children this fall. Wonder, a private pre-K-through-12th-grade school on the Wichita State University campus, will open Sept. 4 with 39 students, the Wichita Eagle reported. The school is funded by Chase and Annie Koch, the son and daughter-in-law of Koch Industries chief Charles Koch. Plans call for phasing in the middle- and high-school programs over time. Founders have signed a preliminary lease for a larger site on the university’s Innovation Campus. Wonder incorporates facets of the “Maker movement” and other education innovations, such as project-based lessons that don’t use traditional courses, subjects, grades or classrooms. “Education can and should be something different,” said Zach Lahn, Wonder’s co-founder. Students will spend half of their day in the school’s design studio, which is a converted garage with a stage that opens onto an outdoor play area. The first level, called Wonder One, is a Montessori-model preschool for 3- to 6-year-olds. An accordion glass wall separates the preschool from Wonder Two, a studio for 7- to 11-year-olds with standing desks and flexible seating. Each student will get a MacBook Air laptop and the school will use iPads for augmented reality activities, Lahn said. Tuition is $10,000 a year for elementary-age children and $6,500 a year for preschool students. “We did not ask any family we met with if they could pay tuition,” Lahn said. “We talked to them about what the school was, told them what the tuition was. But we’ve had numerous families ask us if we could do some sort of financial aid arrangement, and we’ve worked that out.” The school won’t seek accreditation through the Kansas Department of Education, so it won’t be required to follow state regulations, administer state tests or hire licensed teachers. Without accreditation, students’ credits also wouldn’t transfer automatically to other schools or universities. But many colleges accept transcripts from students at non-accredited schools. Lahn said Wonder plans to seek accreditation through the International Association of Learner-Driven Schools. He said he’s confident it’ll appeal to many colleges and potential employers.

1 dead in shooting after Florida high school football game JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — One person is dead and two others injured after a shooting outside a Florida high school football game. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office reported the shooting occurred about 10 p.m. Friday night as the crowd was leaving the Raines High School football game. There were about 4,000 people attending the game. Director of investigations Ron Lendvay said the person killed was a young man and the two people injured were a teenage boy and girl. He didn’t identify the victims, nor would he say if they were students at the school. The sheriff’s office was still looking for the shooter Saturday morning. — Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — As a fifthgrader at Manchester Elementary this year, 10-year-old Cosette Kaminski is supposed to learn about the Declaration of Independence and the basics of geometry — how does a pyramid differ from a cone? But on this humid Saturday morning, Cosette is learning a different set of skills — how to block a classroom door with desks and chairs, how to wrestle a gun out of the hands of an intruder and how to tie a tourniquet tight enough to stop the flow of blood. Welcome to “how to survive a school shooting 101.” The shooting range and security firm in Sarpy County, 88 Tactical, started offering “School Safe” classes in March, after the school shooting that killed 17 students and staff members in Parkland, Florida. The Omaha World-Herald reports that schools across the metro area already practice a litany of emergency response drills — fire drills, tornado drills and lockdown drills that instruct students and school staff to hunker down and take cover in case of an intruder. But the core message of the 88 Tactical training is if an attack happens at school, you don’t have to cower in a corner as bullets ricochet around you. You can run, you can hide or you can fight back is a message that’s appealing to a segment of parents, teachers and kids who feel some school responses are too passive. “Lockdown procedures for schools are great,” said Kurt Sorys, a senior instructor at 88 Tactical who leads the class. He’s a retired Omaha police officer who worked on the SWAT team and responded to the 2007 shooting at Von Maur. “Most of them have decent doors, and they will protect our children. But what we’d like to see those kids do is once they get in that lockdown, we want to see them prepare to fight for their lives, if necessary.” The 2.5-hour classes — more are planned for this fall — cost $65 and are open to kids ages 10 and up. At a session earlier this month, eight kids and six adults attended, a mix of parents and teachers. Sorys estimates that 150 people have taken the class since last spring. “I don’t want to just put my kids in a corner and hide and make sure the door is locked,” said Jenna Dudley, a first-

grade teacher at Brownell Talbot School, who signed up for the class with her two teenage boys. “I will not be a victim.” Some safety experts have cast doubt on whether this type of training is effective. Even police officers and members of the military sometimes freeze up when confronted with danger. The on-duty armed school resource officer in Parkland waited outside the school, confused and paralyzed with indecision, for minutes as a former student fired an AR15 inside. Can we really expect seventh-graders to take down a gunman? And, despite the attention school shootings command, statistically, they remain exceedingly rare. That’s not much comfort to Cosette’s dad, Brian Kaminski. He decided to enroll Cosette and her two teenage brothers, Elkhorn High students Trayton and Oliver, in the School Safe class after the May 18 school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, that killed eight students and two teachers. It’s a grim reality that Kaminski acknowledges: He’s here on a Saturday morning with his three children, watching them practice blasting an attacker with a fire extinguisher. “Yes, it is upsetting that we have to do this,” he said. “But by the same token, I think it’s just a fact of life. At work, I mentioned this to a co-worker and I said, ‘After the last shooting,’ and she said, ‘Which one?’ “

The first hour of the class takes place in a classroom that echoes faintly with the sound of gunshots from the nearby firing range. Sorys rattles off the names of cities, towns and schools that have become synonymous with violence and tragedy: Parkland, Orlando, San Bernardino, Columbine. He shows news clips of different responses to different attacks, pointing out the do’s and don’ts. Don’t: waste precious time and energy texting Mom and Dad if a shooter is in your school. Steel yourself, pay attention to your surroundings and figure out a plan. Do: tailor your response to the specific situation at hand. An armed robber at a Starbucks probably just wants to get the money and get out. There’s no need to play the hero and intervene. “We want to harden your mind, without hardening your heart,” Sorys said, a message he’d repeat several times. Much of the training centered on the “run, hide, fight” active shooter response, tailored to a slightly younger audience. The approach advises that to survive an active killer situation, you have to be attentive, act decisively and work as a team to stop the threat. Minutes might pass before law enforcement shows up. And, a video instructed, “fight is a strategy of last resort. Use it only when your life is in immediate danger and no other options are available to you.” Teachers, Sorys suggested, could keep a bucket of rocks in

their classrooms that students could use to pelt an intruder. Stainless steel water bottles could become an improvised weapon. At one point, he warns the room that the conversation is going to take a heavy turn. Schools are supposed to be nurturing places where kids have been conditioned not to hit people or fight back, he said. Throw those rules out the window if an attack occurs. “If someone comes into your school with a gun and starts shooting people, they’re trying to kill you,” he said. “You as a group of students have the right to use force against them, which could include killing them to stop them.” Schools have spent millions of dollars on security features like door locks and surveillance cameras. And then there’s the emergency drills and training, including the annual fire, tornado and bus evacuation drills required by law. The state recommends that schools practice the lockdown, lockout, evacuation, shelter and reunification processes, too. Several districts, including Westside, Papillion-La Vista, Elkhorn and Omaha, turn to a standard response protocol that encourages everyone from law enforcement to teachers and students to use common terms and practices that put an emphasis on securing the classroom. These protocols can be used in a variety of situations, from bad weather to an irate parent who shows up in the office.

Meyer’s texts raise open records questions COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Any attempt by Ohio State coach Urban Meyer to eliminate workrelated text messages on his university-issued phone to hide information would be illegal, open records experts said following a two-week investigation into his handling of domestic violence allegations against an assistant coach. Ohio State suspended Meyer for three games after investigators concluded he mishandled Zach Smith’s repeated professional and behavioral problems and instead protected his protege for years through domestic violence allegations, a drug problem and poor job performance. Among the many questions raised by the investigation into the highly suc-

cessful coach of the fifth-ranked Buckeyes was how he responded when the story broke. On Aug. 1, investigators say, Meyer and the team’s director of operations discussed ways to change the settings on his phone to eliminate messages older than a year. The discussion came the same day a story said Smith’s then-wife had shared allegations of domestic violence with Meyer’s wife, Shelley Meyer, via texts. “A bad article,” Brian Voltolini, director of football operations, told Meyer on the practice field, according to investigators. Courtney Smith alleged her husband attacked her in 2015. Zach Smith has never been criminally charged with domestic violence. The university put Meyer

CIA soccer sweeps 3-game road trip Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The Cook Inlet Academy coed soccer team finished a 3-0, season-opening, Borealis Conference road trip by defeating Holy Rosary Academy 4-1 on Friday in Anchorage and defeating Lumen Christi 5-0 on Saturday in Anchorage. Hunter Moos had a hat trick for CIA in both games. In Friday’s game, CIA opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Moos pounced on a loose ball and scored unassisted from 15 yards. In the 38th minute, Moos struck again, this time with Sophie Nelson dishing up the first of her two assists. A few minutes into the second half, James Anderson got the ball in his own half of the field and beat several defenders before he made it 3-0. Holy Rosary then cut the gap to 3-1, but Moos completed his hat trick when a blast from Nelson was saved by the goalkeeper, but Moos was there to head in the rebound. In Saturday’s game, Moose

notched another hat trick, scoring in the second, 10th and 57th minutes. In the second minute, he converted the pass of Addie Nelson with a left-footed shot. In the 10th minute, Moos and Sophie Nelson connected on a combination play. In the 57th minute, center back Jiabao Leaf sent a long ball into the box, which Moos collected for another goal. The other goals came from Addie Nelson and Linnaea Dohse. In the sixth minute, Nelson scored unassisted with a shot of 15 yards. In the 61st minute, Dohse chipped the goalkeeper at close range after getting a pass from Moos. “We spread the field well today in the attack,” CIA coach Kenny Leaf wrote in an email. “We’re moving the ball wide, and showing an ability to finish in front of the net. “Players are proving to be coachable, and there’s nothing that pleases me more.” The Eagles are on the road again this week with a Thursday game at Tri-Valley, a Friday game against Nenana and a Saturday date with Delta.

on paid leave and began investigating after Courtney Smith spoke out publicly, sharing text messages and photos she traded in 2015 with Shelley Meyer, who is a registered nurse and instructor at Ohio State. Zach Smith was fired last month after his exwife asked a judge for a protec-

tive order. When the university obtained Meyer’s phone on Aug. 2, it was set to only retain texts within a year. Investigators said they couldn’t determine if that setting was made in response to the breaking news story. “It is nonetheless concerning that his first reaction to a nega-

tive media piece exposing his knowledge of the 2015-2016 law enforcement investigation was to worry about the media getting access to information and discussing how to delete messages older than a year,” the report said, referring to Meyer. The latest university records retention

policy doesn’t single out text messages. A category covering “transient” records includes telephone messages, some emails, drafts and other documents that “serve to convey information of a temporary value, have a very short lived administrative, legal and/or fiscal value.”

Mom can’t stop baby talking with grown son and girlfriend your boyfriend’s parents, tell HER as diplomatically as possible that you feel disrespected when she uses baby talk with you. It’s better than sulking, which may be why they think you don’t like them -- and appears to be half-true. DEAR ABBY: I have had an internship in a new city this summer. My dad’s friend has kindly allowed me to stay in Abigail Van Buren his home while he’s away on a long vacation. He told me I can watch his movies, use his TV, and even have friends visit and sleep on the couch. I am very grateful for his generosity. He left for his vacation in a rush, and at eye-level on the DVD shelf he has a pornographic movie. I have nothing morally against it, but I think it’s something he would be uncomfortable with me seeing. A friend is coming to visit me next week, and I don’t know what to do about the DVD. What would respect his privacy more: if I don’t touch the film, or if I flip it over to hide the spine? -- SURPRISED GUEST

DEAR SURPRISED: Put the DVD in a drawer and make a note on your calendar to yourself to replace it where it was before your host returns from his trip. DEAR ABBY: My daughter is on her third marriage to a pretty nice guy, but she’s also in regular contact with her first husband by text, email and phone. And now, her present husband is also in contact with an ex-girlfriend (hanging out, having lunch, etc.). What part of this picture am I not getting? -- SUSPICIOUS MOM AND IN-LAW IN ARIZONA DEAR SUSPICIOUS: I’d say your vision is 20/20 or better. If your daughter’s track record holds, marriage No. 3 is in the ninth inning, and the “players” are about to strike out.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Aug. 27, 2018: This year events might force you to look at your anger and other forms of self-expression. You might decide to transform areas that do not serve you well. If you are single, you could go through several suitors. You are changing, so what suits you at first might not a few months later. If you are attached, hopefully your sweetie will appreciate your transformation. On some level, these changes are occurring because you are relating to this person. PISCES often challenges you. 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) HHH After months of Mars -- your ruling planet -- dancing a backward jig, it now goes forward. You might need a day to be free of this period. Much of what has simmered in the back of your mind could cascade into your actions. Your strength will be increased. Tonight: Be adaptable. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You have been holding back and contemplating your words. You might have felt angry or frustrated as of late, but you have resisted ranting and raving. You could be persuaded to let go. A partner feels as if the air has finally been cleared. Tonight: Don’t stand on ceremony. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Events push you into the limelight, which could be an interesting place to hang out. Others seem particularly unstable. Just smooth out the rough spots, if you can. You could feel pressed by the end of the day. Know that others

Rubes

feel the same. Tonight: There’s no downtime just yet. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Relating to others has become quite complicated this month, with fuses blowing. You do not need to hold a grudge, though you might want to. You still have time to practice expressing those ugly feelings in a palatable way. Tonight: Slowly wind down from recent events. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A partner or close friend would like to have you visit for a short while. This person loves sharing with you and getting your feedback, which often reveals your high emotional IQ. You might get a positive reaction to a matter involving your real estate. Tonight: Settle in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might feel pulled in opposite directions at the present moment. You are likely to reveal some of the frustration you are experiencing. Don’t worry about feedback -- you will be getting plenty, perhaps even more than your fair share. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Reach out to an associate who has been touchy for the past few months. This person’s finicky attitude might not have changed yet, but it will in time. This situation probably surrounds a personal relationship. Give others some space to change their tune. Tonight: Head to the gym. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might feel lucky, and events in the next few weeks most likely will reinforce those feelings. As fortunate and creative as you can be, you experience the

unexpected today. An area of your life could spin out of control. Don’t worry, everything will be fine. Tonight: Say “yes.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be in a pickle and just finding out about it from an irate loved one. You could try using your charm, but only a change or explanation can clear out this bump in the road. Gather all of the facts before addressing the problem. Tonight: Try being a bit more charming. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You say the right words when facing a problem on the homefront. If you are patient, it will clear up. You might be surprised at the source of the irritation. Remain open-minded and easygoing if you want to see a restoration of the good times. Tonight: Make the first move. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Use caution with your funds, whether you’re giving or receiving them. A fast change of pace could be disconcerting at first. You might experience some unexpected anger, or so it seems. You’ve been sitting on these feelings for a while. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Despite the vicissitudes of the day, you feel good about yourself. An intense discussion that might have turned sarcastic actually has helped clear the air. Take on a meaningful challenge. You are attracting more of what you want; go for it. Tonight: All smiles. BORN TODAY Actor Aaron Paul (1979), former U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson (1908), philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770)

THEY’RE BACK! Dear Heloise: The phone scam artists are back. People get a phone call from someone claiming to be from their internet server, informing them that they have spyware on their computer or that they have detected malware, none of which is true. I verified this with three different carriers, and they all claimed they do NOT call people and tell them they have found a problem with their computer. It’s just another way scammers take your money and do nothing for you. -- Nessa C., Elk City, Okla. THESE HINTS ARE GEMS Dear Heloise: So many women destroy their jewelry because they don’t remove it before doing their housework. Silver jewelry will tarnish if it’s exposed to rubber gloves, vinegar or eggs. Gold is damaged by mercury and some cleaning chemicals. Alloys in gold and soldered areas are weakened by chlorine. -- Brooke L., Syracuse, N.Y. CAT URINE Dear Heloise: There’s no genteel way to put this except to say that I have four tomcats (all neutered) who have been spraying inside my house! The smell is getting to me, even though I scrub my floors and walls constantly. Any hints? -- Bridget S., Rumson, N.J. Bridget, a temporary solution is to use equal parts of vinegar and water to clean the affected area. But you need to start with why the cats are peeing or marking territory in your home. Are there health issues with your cats? Dirty kitty litter? Too few potty pans? Are the cats upset over changes or perhaps prevented access to the kitty litter box? Also, use a black light (available in hardware stores or online) to find the urine spots. Cat urine glows under black light. You’ll have to find a good enzyme cleaner to kill bacteria and rid your home of the urine scent. Above all, patience is the key. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I’m 32 and have been dating my boyfriend, “Jerome,” for five years. We both have successful careers and lives of our own. However, when we visit his family who live in the area, I’m subjected to “baby talk” from his mother. She’s a wonderful woman who loves her family dearly, but she can’t seem to converse with any of us without pitching her voice up an octave and talking in sentences as if we are 5 years old. In addition, she insists on calling her son every day to ask how his day is going or check on him if he hasn’t been feeling well, again with a baby voice. I am at my wits’ end. Jerome has addressed the issue several times with her and his father, but it never gets better. His father says that’s who she is, and it won’t change. His parents now wonder why I seem so unhappy when I’m around them and think I don’t like them. But I’m just tired of the disrespect, and I don’t like that they expect me to accept the baby talk. Please help. -- ALL GROWN UP IN HOUSTON DEAR ALL GROWN UP: I am inclined to agree with your boyfriend’s father. This is the way his wife is. Part of the problem may be that you are complaining to the wrong people about the way she talks to you. Because you seem unable to change the way you feel, and it’s affecting how you behave toward
