Tariffs force Alaska seafood industry to look beyond China KODIAK (AP) — Chinese tariffs are forcing Alaska’s seafood industry to look for markets beyond the Asian giant, according to an industry marketing organization. The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute is exploring how to expand the state’s seafood brand in response to a 25 per cent tariff on Pacific Northwest seafood imposed by China in summer 2018, the Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Wednesday. Alaska’s seafood sales are off by more than 20 per cent so far this year and could take a big hit in China, said Jeremy Woodrow, the institute’s interim executive director. “Because of the conflict, it makes our product less competitive in that marketplace,” Woodrow said. A $5.5 million, threeyear federal agricultural trade promotion grant awarded in January will be used to develop nontraditional markets such as Japan, Southeast Asia and parts of South America, according to Woodrow. The funds will also aid continued marketing in China and other established markets such as Germany, he said. In a survey of Alaska seafood businesses, 65 per cent reported they immediately lost sales due to the tariff increase, 50 per cent had sales delays, and 36 per cent lost Chinese customers, Woodrow said. China is the largest export market and reprocessor of Alaskan seafood, according to the institute.

A sit-down with the governor By VICTORIA PETERSEN and BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion

Ahead of his Monday night forum in Kenai, Gov. Mike Dunleavy and his team sat down with Clarion reporters Brian Mazurek and Victoria Petersen to discuss his recently proposed budget, education, local industry, public safety and more. The Clarion will publish portions of the interview over the next few editions. In the first part, we look at the governor’s approach to public safety and his take on the Alaska LNG project. During his campaign, Dunleavy committed to being tough on crime. Since the Legislature began in January, he has filed four crime bills that look to slow down Alaska’s rise in crime. Three such bills repeal portions of SB 91, which was criminal justice legislation passed in 2016. The last bill looks to tighten laws related to sexual

JUNEAU — The district attorney for Nome said Thursday that he would not file charges against a woman taken into custody after police say she confronted Gov. Mike Dunleavy at an airport and refused to leave when asked. John Earthman said by email that he told the court no charge would be filed against Brenda Evak. That decision also was announced during an afternoon court hearing. An effort to reach Evak Thursday wasn’t immediately successful. Dunleavy was in Nome Wednesday to pro-

Kenai’s Wildwood Correctional Facility’s sentencing wing, which will lay off more than 40 local employees.

Alaskans show up in force to oppose governor’s budget By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

On Thursday, the House Finance Committee released details about the concerns Alaskans brought forth during their community meetings across the state. A thousand Alaskans in Anchorage, Bethel, Fairbanks, Kenai, Ketchikan, Juneau, Mat-Su and Sitka provided feedback during the meetings. An additional 784 people across the state called in, emailed or spoke to the House Finance Committee meeting on Monday. “The outpouring and the passion from Alaskans has been incredible,” Speaker Bryce Edgmon said in a press release. “We’ve heard from Alaskans who would

lose access to healthcare if Governor Mike Dunleavy’s budget passes as-is. We’ve

heard from teachers who don’t know if they’ll have a job this fall, elders on

a fixed income who fear they’ll lose senior benefits, and people in communities

at risk of losing their only highway.” On the peninsula, more than 230 attended Saturday’s community meeting, with over 60 people speaking to Rep. Gary Knopp, RKenai/Soldotna, Edgmon and House Finance Committee Vice Chair Jennifer Johnston. Public feedback from community members on the Kenai Peninsula was overly opposed to the governor’s proposed budget cuts, with education funding dominating the conversation. Across the state, sentiments from Alaskans were much the same, with 990 people opposing the budget and 839 people speaking against cuts to education, See SHOW, page A3

Experts: Why are salmon dying at sea? By ALEX MCCARTHY Juneau Empire

Under the heading of “marine survival” in his slideshow, Phil Richards put a photo of the Grim Reaper walking along a beach and looking out over the ocean. Richards, the Southeast chinook salmon stock assessment supervisor for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, was presenting to a crowd of about 80 people at a Territorial Sportsmen King Salmon Symposium on Wednesday night. The image of the

Grim Reaper looking out niscent of what Richards over the ocean was remi- had said at the beginning

of his presentation about what to expect from chinook salmon returns. “For the next one to two years, it looks pretty grim,” Richards said. Projections for chinook (king) salmon returns in the next couple years continue to be low — the Department of Fish and Game’s forecast for this season is the secondlowest since 1995, but is slightly better than last year’s forecast. Richards said the main problem is that when salmon head out into the ocean, fewer and fewer of them are coming

back. This low marine survival rate is baffling and frustrating fish experts. Presenters and attendees at the annual symposium Wednesday exchanged theories. One attendee asked about who is trying to solve what he called “the mystery of ocean survival.” Ed Jones, the chinook salmon research initiative coordinator for ADF&G, said the University of Alaska and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are leading research into the isSee SEA, page A14

Kenai man charged with stealing Trial begins for Alaska man accused of killing officer cellphones from Nikiski Pool By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion

A Kenai man has been charged with theft after allegedly stealing several cellphones from the locker rooms at the Nikiski Pool, according to an af-

fidavit filed at the Kenai Courthouse on March 19. On Feb. 2, troopers got a call from the Nikiski Pool that several cellphones had been stolen from the family changing room. According to the affidavit, three people re-

ported that they left their cellphones in a locker while they swam in the pool, and after swimming had discovered that their phones were missing. One victim was missing her debit card and driver’s

Brandt was shot once in the chest and several times in his legs, thigh and hip. He died 12 days later in an Anchorage hospital after undergoing surgery to remove shrapnel lodged in his left eye, authorities said. Jenkins-Alexie may be guilty of weapons misconduct and first-degree assault, said defence attorney Justin Racette, but not murder. “Mr. Jenkins did not have the intent to cause Sgt. Brandt’s death. Mr. Jenkins was intoxicated, he was suffering from grief and depression, and the argument that precipitated at (his girlfriend’s house) was the spark that blew into the tinder box,” Racette said.

Around the Nation Alaska residents and military discuss concerns over exercise KODIAK, Alaska (AP) — Residents of a southern Alaska community have voiced environmental concerns over a planned military exercise. The Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Thursday that residents of Kodiak met with U.S. Navy and Air Force officials to discuss concerns about the impact of a two-week military training exercise scheduled to take place in May. The paper reports that the biennial Northern Edge exercise conducted in the Gulf of Alaska began in 1975. Some residents say the military activities could harm marine species and ecosystems and that the training should take place in the fall to mitigate impacts to species that are active in the spring and summer. Military officials say Alaska is important to both naval and air strategy and that the spring offers relatively safe weather for the exercise.

tion to investigate. According to the affidavit, the owner of the residence told troopers that Joshua Brewer, 36, allegedly went to the Nikiski Pool twice a week to take showers. Troopers then reviewed security camera footage from outside of the family changing room that allegedly showed a man matching Brewer’s description and photo going in and

out of the changing room during the times that the phones were suspected to have been stolen. On March 8, another phone theft was reported at the Nikiski Pool and troopers once again reviewed the security camera footage from outside the family changing room. According to the affidavit, Brewer was reportedly identified in

this footage as well, and troopers were initially unable to locate Brewer until he was arrested on March 21 on unrelated charges. Brewer faces five counts of second-degree theft, a class C felony, one count of third-degree theft, a class A misdemeanor, and one count of fourth-degree theft, a class B misdemeanor.

the distance” to Dunleavy while balling a fist. Officers with the Alaska State Troopers and Nome police stopped her from approaching and asked her to lower her voice and leave, requests the statement said she refused. Police said officers had to physically escort her from the terminal, saying she was “exhibiting physical resistance and endangering public safety.” The statement said she was charged with disorderly conduct and released from custody. It said a charging document was sent to Earthman to decide whether to pursue the matter. Witness Sue Steinacher described Evak as loud but

said she didn’t think Evak was aggressive. She told the Anchorage Daily News Evak was assertive “but continued to back away” as Dunleavy moved forward. She told The Associated Press Thursday there were a lot of people at the airport. “At what point her moving away from the governor was by her or by (law enforcement), I guess I thought it was her. But maybe the police by that point were more forcing her to back up,” she said. “They were certainly forcing her out the door.” Dunleavy has been criticized for participating in events, in Nome

and elsewhere, this week hosted by Americans for Prosperity-Alaska. The group, in initially promoting the events online, laid out terms by which attendees must abide, prompting questions of how open they would be and drawing protests. Steinacher said she was told when she went to the meeting that she could come in without signing anything, which some had worried might be a requirement for entry. She said she shared that with people outside and some of them also went in. Evak was among those who at some point came in and was called on for a question, she said.

What Others Say

US credibility takes another hit It’s an accepted norm in aviation

that when there is a decision to be made about grounding aircraft, it should normally come from the home regulating authority of the manufacturer. In the case of the Boeing 737 Max 8 that crashed in Ethiopia last weekend, killing all 157 people on board, that would have been the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the U.S. For days after the disaster, the FAA did not do that, while Boeing vouched for the safety of the aircraft. While countries such as China and Indonesia, together with Ethiopia, almost immediately banned the model, most Western nations kept flying them, before the UK broke ranks, to be joined later by a number of other European nations. They, along with Comair, which initially said it would keep flying its 737 Max 8 before bowing to public pressure, were probably following this convention. They were, rightly, waiting for guidance from the main regulator and evidence of a link between that crash in Ethiopia and another deadly accident in Indonesia less than five months earlier. In simple terms, this is a system that should be underpinned by one word: trust. And news coming out over the weekend is more than disturbing. It should be noted that the Trump administration did not ground the planes until Wednesday, March 13, while other countries had been moving to ban them the previous two days, with the U.S. still insisting that they were sound. Even then, the U.S. suggested the decision was more to do with psychology than a conviction that something was wrong with the planes. Much has been said about the Trump administration’s aversion to regulation of everything from finance to polluting industries. This, after all, is a president who does not believe in climate change. The U.S. is not the only country in the world where there is a worrying trend of individuals moving from companies and then working for organizations that are charged with regulating their former employers, or vice versa. That may not sound as something to be alarmed about when it’s about taxation, for example. But when it comes to a life and death issue such as flying, it is very worrying indeed. The Washington Post reported over the weekend that the acting head of the FAA used to work for American Airlines and the Aerospace Industries Association, which counts Boeing among its most important members. And reports over the weekend questioning the independence of the FAA will only add to the unease. We must be clear that this is not about Donald Trump. A report by Bloomberg on Monday said that as far back as 2012, FAA employees were warning that Boeing had too much say over safety approvals of new planes. That, the news agency reported, led to a government probe that found the FAA hadn’t done enough to “hold Boeing accountable” and that some employees had complained of retribution if they spoke out. The Seattle Times published the results of its own investigation on Sunday, which found that the regulator had delegated much of the safety assessment of the 737 Max to the company itself and pressured safety engineers to speedily approve the resulting analysis. The original safety analysis delivered to the FAA for a new flight control system on the Max planes, which was used to certify the plane as safe, had crucial flaws. That flight control system, according to the newspaper, is now under scrutiny after the crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. In an early sign that trust has been broken, Ethiopia said last week it would ask European, rather than American, experts to analyze the black boxes from the crashed plane. The country’s transport minister said at a press conference on Sunday that there had been “clear similarities” with the crash in Indonesia in October 2018. A preliminary report will be released within 30 days, she said. There are so many areas in which the U.S. has given up its leadership role in recent years. Aviation looks like the latest one. — BusinessDay of South Africa, March 19

Rachel Maddow’s deep delusion

For the past two years, Rachel Maddow has been a hero of her own spy thriller. She has written, directed and starred in a hit production based on the unlikely premise of a prime-time cable TV show host unraveling the most dastardly plot in American history — one opening monologue at a time. Only the story had a surprise twist at the end — she was completely wrong. Few people invested more in the Russia probe, night after night, monologue after monologue, with an everbuilding sense of anticipation. It is perhaps unfair to say that Maddow believed in a conspiracy theory, although her theory was quite literally that there was a conspiracy between Donald Trump and the Russians, perhaps an ongoing one. The Mueller probe was obviously newsworthy. Yet Maddow approached it with a notably conspiratorial cast of mind and style. She covered the story with a consistent breathlessness. She took evident pleasure over even minor jail sentences for minor players. No proceeding related to the probe was too small for her long, involved explications. Pervading it all was the sense that she could see the deeper forces behind the headlines, she could discern the pattern in all the dots, and you could, too, as long as you paid close enough attention to her program. The reward would be everything finally making sense, from the 2016 presidential election to President Trump’s foreign policy — all traceable back to Russia

and its sinister tentacles. She worried in March 2017 that the Russians had not just stolen the election, but our government. “We are also starting to see what may Rich Lowry be signs of continuing influence in our country,” she warned. “Basically signs of what could be a continuing operation.” No matter how alarming all this was, there was always an underlying sense of glee in Maddow’s coverage, the bastards were finally getting their due, the whole treacherous plot coming undone via Robert Mueller’s investigation and the brilliant, longform explications of it by America’s champion at 9 p.m., please set your DVRs. It was almost touching how excited Maddow was to come back from a trout-fishing trip last Friday to host her show on an emergency basis upon the arrival of the long-anticipated report. Little did she know she only was setting the stage for her own discrediting. No one should deny Maddow’s considerable talents. She’s smart and a sprightly writer who does her homework and who can carry an hour of TV compellingly almost entirely on her own — a rare skill. This wasn’t simply mindless partisanship. It was a deeper delusion. Yes, there were disturbing developments in the Mueller probe, but the

evidence always tilted away from any Trump-Russian conspiracy. Believing otherwise required ignoring common sense (why would the Russians need to collude with the Trump campaign in the first place?), ignoring statements from more soberminded intelligence officials that there was no evidence of collusion, ignoring the policy areas where Trump was tougher on Russia than President Barack Obama, and ignoring how the Mueller probe was unfolding, with no indictments for espionage or conspiracy with the Russians. Even now, all Maddow has is more questions. She’s right to want the release of the full report, yet she still hasn’t truly grappled with the fact that Mueller came up empty on collusion. Not only should she do that, she should consider how she did the left a grave disservice in feeding its paranoia, stoking its unrealistic expectations and diverting it from more politically fruitful paths. The Russia episode demonstrates how, strangely, Nancy Pelosi is now one of the more restrained, politically astute progressives on the national stage. You can be entirely in the business of checking and defeating Donald Trump, or you can be in show business; Pelosi is in the former, Rachel Maddow is in the latter. The MSNBC host staged a hell of a drama during the Mueller probe, but life usually isn’t a John le Carre novel. Rich Lowry can be reached via email at comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.

Lands package delivers for Alaskans Earlier this month, I joined Republicans and Democrats from the House and Senate at the White House with President Trump for the signing of major lands and conservation legislation. The “John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act” is now law after years of effort. As Chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, I worked to combine more than 120 lands, resources, and water measures — including many that will help resolve long-standing issues for Alaskans. One of the provisions of which I am most proud will provide equity to Alaska Natives who served during the Vietnam War to finally receive their land allotments. Sponsored in the last Congress by Senator Dan Sullivan, this provision will provide an estimated 2,800 veterans with a chance to receive the lands promised to them decades ago by the federal government. Due to their service, many missed the application deadline imposed by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. Previous programs have had a rejection rate of up to 75 percent, which led us to create a new program that will work better for everyone. Other provisions within my lands package will provide new opportunities for economic development. For example, the new law will provide routing flexibility for the gasline project in Denali National Park and Preserve. A separate provision repeals a prohibition that prevents the Kake Tribal Corporation from exporting unprocessed logs harvested from its lands. Another requires the Department of the Interior to convey sand and gravel resources within and contiguous to the Barrow Gas Field to the Ukpeagvik Inupiat Corporation. In a state with 224 million acres of federal lands, we encounter more than our fair share of land management is-

A laska V oices S en . L isa M urkowski sues. To address one in the southcentral region, we require the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service to conduct a study to identify the effects that federal land acquisitions have had on Chugach Alaska Corporation’s ability to develop its subsurface estate and identify options for possible land exchanges. We also restore the claims of four Alaskans who wrongly had their placer mining operations taken by the government over a decade ago due to bureaucratic discrepancies. Now that this bill has been signed into law, those miners will finally have relief. Their claims will be reinstated and they will able to go back to business. My lands package also includes national policies that will benefit Alaska. We extended a geologic mapping program for five years, which will help us understand our world-class mineral base and highlight new opportunities for mining in our state. By modernizing and expanding our nation’s volcano early warning and monitoring capabilities, we will keep communities and travelers in Alaska safe. The permanent reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is a significant national conservation achievement that also now includes a requirement that at least 40 percent of its annual funding go to the popular state-side program, which supports the Alaska park system and local recreation

sites. I am also proud of the provisions we included that relate to access to federal lands for sportsmen and women. We direct federal agencies to expand and enhance opportunities for hunting, fishing, and recreational shooting on public lands, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. “Open unless closed” will now be the standard for Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service lands to ensure that closures are justified and provide for public notice and comment. We also agreed to include a number of conservation-related provisions specific to the Lower 48. Our lands package designates new federal wilderness in states such as New Mexico and Utah. We created new wild and scenic river segments in Oregon, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. And we established five National Monuments the right way – with Congress in the lead – in California, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Utah. Our lands package is the result of good process and extensive negotiations. It took us years of regular order in the committees of jurisdiction to process its components. Following that, we spent months engaged in bipartisan, bicameral negotiations to reach agreement on its exact scope. We struck a careful balance between the need to provide for economic development and the desire to protect treasured landscapes. And we ensured that every provision — especially those related to conservation — enjoyed strong state and local support. The result is a sweeping package that drew 92 votes in the Senate, 363 votes in the House, and the support of hundreds of stakeholder groups all across the country. That’s a rare occurrence in an era where partisan division and gridlock often prevail. And while much work remains, our lands package will deliver real benefits for Alaskans and all Americans.

Nation New York sues family behind maker of OxyContin By MICHAEL R. SISAK and JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press

NEW YORK — New York on Thursday sued the billionaire family behind the company that created OxyContin, joining a growing list of state and local governments alleging the drugmaker sparked the nation’s opioid crisis by putting hunger for profits over patient safety. The state, which averages nine opioid-related deaths per day, expanded an existing lawsuit against pill maker Purdue Pharma to add members of its controlling Sackler family as defendants. The state also added as defendants five other companies that produce opioid painkillers and four drug distributors. “This is an extensive lawsuit that leaves no stone unturned,” New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, said at a news conference. Representatives for Purdue and Sackler family members said the suit misleadingly blames them for a problem that’s far bigger than OxyContin. “The state is seeking to publicly vilify Purdue”

and the Sacklers with illsupported claims about a drug that currently accounts for under 2 percent of all opioid prescriptions, the Stamford, Connecticutbased company said in a statement. The Sackler relatives named in the suit — all former Purdue board members who remain shareholders — said in a statement issued through a spokeswoman that they “have always acted properly.” They and the company said they would fight the new allegations, which come two days after Purdue and the Sacklers agreed to pay $270 million to the state of Oklahoma to settle an opioid lawsuit there. In settling the case, Purdue denied any wrongdoing. It was the first settlement in a recent wave of nearly 2,000 lawsuits that the company says could push it into bankruptcy. New York’s attorney general said Thursday that she was open to settlement talks but hadn’t been approached. The New York lawsuit seeks penalties and damages that could add up to tens of millions of dollars and a dedicated fund to

curb the opioid epidemic. It also seeks to have the companies stripped of their licenses and barred from marketing and distributing painkillers in New York until they abide by strict safeguards. Purdue and the other drug manufacturers and distributors, the lawsuit said, deliberately betrayed their duties under state drug laws “in order to profiteer from the plague they knew would be unleashed.” New Yorker Justin Sangeorge says he experienced that plague firsthand after having a dental procedure,

clear that there are substantially more details he and his team have documented in their investigation than Barr disclosed to Congress and the public in his summary. The volume of pages was described Thursday by a Justice Department official and another person familiar with the document. The Justice Department official said Barr discussed the length of the report during a phone call Wednesday with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler.

Both the department official and the other person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the confidential report. Barr has been at work going through the document as the battle is intensifying over if and when he will release the complete report and its underlying evidence amid Democratic concerns that what has been made public so far was tilted in Trump’s favor. Barr has said he’ll release at least a partial version in April and also told Nadler

Federal legalization of hemp creates quandary for police

Andrew Ross sits for a portrait in his Denver office on Friday, March 22. (AP Photo/Thomas Peipert) By GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — Federal legalization of hemp arrived in the U.S. late last year and expanded an industry already booming because of the skyrocketing popularity of CBDs, a compound in hemp that many see as a health aid. But now, just a few months after Congress placed the marijuana lookalike squarely in safe legal territory, the hemp industry has been unsettled by an unexpected development. Truckers, now free to haul hemp from state to state, have been stopped and sometimes arrested by police who can’t tell whether they have inter-

cepted a legal agricultural crop or the biggest marijuana bust of their careers. That’s because the only way to distinguish hemp and marijuana, which look and smell alike, is by measuring their tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and officers don’t have the testing technology to do so on the spot. Marijuana, illegal under federal law , has enough THC to get users high. Hemp has almost none — 0.3 percent or less under U.S. government standards — yet drug-sniffing dogs will alert on both. Field tests that officers now use can detect THC but aren’t sophisticated enough to specify whether a shipment is legal hemp or low-

Dems demand Mueller’s full 300 pages, mock GOP

WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia report is more than 300 pages long, it was revealed Thursday, sparking fresh criticism from Democrats arguing that Attorney General William Barr’s fourpage summary was gravely inadequate and the full findings must be quickly released. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Barr’s synopsis that cleared President Donald Trump of campaign collusion with Russia and criminal obstruction of the federal probe “condescending” and “arrogant.” “Mr. Attorney General, we do not need your interpretation,” Pelosi said Thursday. “Show us the report and we’ll come to our own conclusions.” She mocked the administration and Republicans as “scaredy-cats.” The length of Mueller’s confidential report makes

grade illegal pot. In a sign of the significance of the problem, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration earlier this month put out a request for information on private companies that might have the technology for field tests sensitive enough to distinguish between hemp and marijuana. “Nobody wants to see someone in jail for a month for the wrong thing,” DEA spokeswoman Barbara Carreno said. “To enable us to do our job, we have to have something that can help us distinguish.” It’s an unanticipated hiccup for the rapidly growing hemp industry, which relies on interstate trucking to transport hemp from farms to processing labs that extract the compound cannabidiol, or CBD, from the raw plant material. The pure CBD powder is then resold for use in everything from makeup to smoothies to pet food. Kentucky and Oregon are big producers of hemp, and much of what they grow is processed in Colorado. Companies that transport the plant often drive through Oklahoma and Idaho, which is where some arrests have occurred.

he would agree to testify before his committee. As that battle brews, House Democrats barreled ahead with their oversight of the Trump administration, and Trump resumed his attack on Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., just as the chairman of the intelligence committee was about to gavel the panel into session. “Congressman Adam Schiff, who spent two years knowingly and unlawfully lying and leaking, should be forced to resign from Congress!” Trump tweeted early Thursday. Republicans picking up on Trump’s complaints formalized their demand that Schiff resign as chairman of the intelligence panel over his comments that there was significant evidence the president and his associates conspired with Russia. “We have no faith in your ability to discharge your responsibilities” in line with the Constitution, the Republicans wrote to Schiff in a missive they read aloud at the hearing.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan will remain dependent on international donors and foreign help even after a peace deal with the Taliban is reached, a U.S. watchdog said Thursday. The warning by Washington’s Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction, or SIGAR, which monitors billions of dollars in U.S. aid to the country, came in a new report identifying main high-risk areas for Afghanistan. John F. Sopko, head of SIGAR, urged policymakers to plan for the “day after,” saying a peace agreement won’t automatically resolve Afghanistan’s many crises. “Should peace come, if that peace is to be sustainable, it will come at an additional price that only external donors can afford,” Sopko said, according to a statement emailed to The Associated Press ahead of the report’s release. The report said main points of concern include widespread insecurity, underdeveloped civil policing capability, endemic corruption, sluggish economy, the Taliban-run narcotics trade and threats to women’s rights. Over the past months, the Trump administration has stepped up efforts to resolve Afghanistan’s 17-year war — America’s longest conflict — and U.S. special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad has held several rounds of peace talks with the Taliban, with both sides citing progress in the negotiations. But despite the talks, the Taliban stage near-daily attacks on Afghan forces, inflicting staggering casualties, and now hold sway over half of the country. Also, the insurgents refuse to talk directly with the government in Kabul, considering it a U.S. puppet. If a peace deal is struck, SIGAR said another concern would be the reintegration of as many as 60,000 heavily armed Taliban fighters and their families back into Afghan society.

Bump stocks are turned in or destroyed as ban takes effect BOISE, Idaho — The largest supplier of bump stocks turned in its entire remaining inventory to be destroyed — some 60,000 devices. Washington state’s buyback program was so popular it ran out of money. One dealer held a “Viking funeral” for his last bump stock, pouring a can of beer on it and then melting it down with a flamethrower. A nationwide ban took effect Tuesday on bump stocks, the attachment used by the gunman in the 2017 Las Vegas massacre to make his weapons fire rapidly like machine guns. How many of the estimated half-million devices believed to be in circulation in the U.S. are still around is anyone’s guess, but in the weeks leading up to the ban, there were signs that many were destroyed or turned in as required. Anyone in possession of a bump stock from now on can be charged with a federal offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms outlawed the attachments at President Donald Trump’s direction after the Las Vegas gunman rained fire from his high-rise hotel suite on concertgoers, killing 58 people in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. On Thursday, the Supreme Court declined to put the ban on hold. As the prohibition drew near, RW Arms in Fort Worth, Texas, featured a countdown clock on its website and heavily promoted last chances to buy the accessories. By the time the ban took effect, RW Arms was left with 60,000, probably worth millions, since they sell for around $150 to $250 each. The company turned over crates of them to the ATF, and a video showed boxes being loaded onto a conveyer belt and fed into an industrial grinder. — The Associated Press

3 Saudi women’s rights activists temporarily released

In this 2014 file photo, Aziza al-Yousef drives a car on a highway in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of a campaign to defy Saudi Arabia’s then ban on women driving. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali, File) By AYA BATRAWY Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Three Saudi women were granted temporary release from prison on Thursday, nearly a year after they and other women’s rights activists were detained by security forces who report to the kingdom’s powerful crown prince. Two people told The Associated Press that Aziza al-Yousef, a grandmother and former professor; Eman al-Nafjan, a mother of four and linguistics professor; and a third woman, Roqaya al-Muhareb, had been granted temporary re-

lease after bail hearings on Thursday. The official Saudi press agency reported that three female detainees had been released but did not identify them. It said their cases were ongoing. At least one of the women was already home with her family, according to details provided to the AP. The move could mark a turning point for other women’s rights activists still detained, notably because two of those released, al-Yousef and al-Najfan, were vilified in state-linked media as traitors and foreign enemies soon after their arrest in May.

Thursday’s development comes as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman continues to face widespread international criticism over the assassination of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last year in an operation planned by two of the prince’s top aides. Eleven men are on trial in Saudi Arabia for the killing. Since Khashoggi’s grisly murder, the imprisonment of the women activists has drawn widespread criticism from members of the U.S. Congress, the British Parliament and other Western capitals. Nine U.S. senators urged King Salman in a letter last week to release political prisoners to demonstrate “belated yet welcome respect for human rights.” At least 10 women’s rights defenders remain imprisoned, including Loujain al-Hathloul, Hatoon al-Fassi, Samar Badawi and Naseem al-Sada. More bail hearings are expected next week. Most of the women had appeared in a Riyadh courtroom on Wednesday to submit their defense. Several people with knowledge of the cases said the women have been charged in connection with their efforts to promote women’s rights and

of having contact with accredited foreign reporters, diplomats and human rights groups. In the presence of their husbands, parents and children, the women told a panel of three judges about the physical and sexual abuse they say they were subjected to by masked interrogators during their imprisonment. The government has denied charges of abuse as “wild claims” that are “simply wrong.” Prior to their arrest, several women said they received calls from an aide to Prince Mohammed telling them not to speak to foreign media outlets. Several were surprised to also learn they had been barred from leaving the country. Concerned for their safety, the women stopped posting on Twitter and other social media sites. As activists faced pressure to keep silent, credit for social reforms like the decision to allow women the right to drive had largely gone to the crown prince. The women’s arrest in May — a month before Saudi women were allowed to drive — may have also been a way to convey that topdown decision-making, and not activism, determines the scope and pace of change in Saudi Arabia.

1,100 dolphins wash up on French shores this year By THOMAS ADAMSON Associated Press

PARIS — The dolphins’ bodies were horribly mutilated, the fins cut off. But what shocked French marine researchers wasn’t just the brutality of the deaths of these highly intelligent mammals, but also the numbers involved — a record 1,100 have washed up on France’s Atlantic coast since January. The mass deaths, widely blamed on aggressive industrial fishing, have alarmed animal welfare groups and prompted France’s ecology minister to launch a national plan to protect them. “There’s never been a number this high,” said Willy Daubin, a member of La Rochelle University’s National Center for Scientific Research. “Already in three months, we have beaten last year’s record, which was up from 2017 and even that was the highest in 40 years.” Though Daubin said 90 percent of the fatalities re-

sulted from accidental capture in industrial nets, the reason behind the spike this year is a mystery. “What fishing machinery or equipment is behind all these deaths?” he asked. Autopsies carried out on the dolphins this year by La Rochelle University’s National Center for Scientific Research show extreme levels of mutilation. Activists say a common practice is for fishermen to cut body parts off the suffocated dolphins after they are pulled up on the nets, to save the net itself.

French Ecology Minister Francois de Rugy rushed last Friday to La Rochelle in an attempt to lower the number dying as a result of human action. He’s under pressure not least because of French President Emmanuel Macron’s pro-ecology stance and oft-quoted slogan to “Make the Planet Great Again.” Rugy has come up with some plans, including bolstering research into existing acoustic repellent devices in place in some 26 two-vessel trawlers off the Bay of Biscay, an industrial

fishing hub in the Atlantic Ocean. When activated, the devices send unpleasant signals to nearby dolphins that cause them to swim away. But animal rights group Sea Shepherd said they do not go far enough, and has already decried such measures as “useless.” It claims many of the trawlers they watch in the region don’t activate the repellent devices owing to fears they will scare off valuable fish as well, and operators only turn them on if they are checked by an “onboard observer.” It also said that increasing the number of devices is no long-term solution for the underwater mammals as the move would make the ocean an uninhabitable drum of noise pollution. “The government needs to take responsibility and act — especially Macron, who said he wanted to protect ecology,” Lamya Essemlali, President of Sea Shepherd France, told The Associated Press.

Venezuelan gov’t bars Guaido from public office for 15 years By JORGE RUEDA Associated Press

CARACAS, Venezuela — The Venezuelan government on Thursday said it has barred opposition leader Juan Guaido from holding public office for 15 years, though the National Assembly leader brushed off the measure and said it would not derail his campaign to oust President Nicolas Maduro. The announcement by state comptroller Elvis Amoroso, a close ally of Maduro, cited alleged irregularities in Guaido’s financial records and reflected a tightening of government pressure on an opposition movement backed by the United States and its allies. Guaido, who was elected to the assembly in 2015, has taken 90 international trips without accounting for the origin of the estimated $94,000 in expenses, Amoroso said. He also accused the opposition leader of harming Venezuela through his interactions with foreign governments, dozens of which support Guaido’s claim that he is interim president of the country. “We’re going to continue in the streets,” Guaido said soon after Amoroso’s state-

ments on state television. He dismissed the comptroller’s announcement as irrelevant because, in his view, Maduro’s government is illegitimate. The power struggle between Maduro and Guaido has intensified the sense of crisis in Venezuela, which suffered its worst blackouts earlier this month and then another round of power outages that paralyzed commerce this week. Communications Minister Jorge Rodriguez said Thursday that electricity had been restored in most of the country, though some areas remained without power. Schools and public offices were still closed, but there was more traffic in the streets of Caracas and many people were able to make electronic payments for the first time in days. Both the opposition and the government plan demonstrations on Saturday as they try to project resolve in a debilitating standoff in what was once one of Latin America’s wealthiest countries. More than 3 million Venezuelans have left the country in recent years, escaping dire economic conditions that left many without adequate food or medicine.

Maduro, who is backed by Russia, says he is the target of a U.S.-led coup plot and has accused Washington and Guaido of sabotaging Venezuela’s power grid. Both the U.S. and the Venezuelan opposition, as well as many electricity experts, believe neglect and mismanagement are the cause of the country’s electricity woes. Venezuelan authorities this month arrested Guai-

do’s chief of staff, Roberto Marrero, and accused him of involvement in a “terrorist” scheme to overthrow the government. The United States was the first nation to recognize Guaido as interim president, asserting that Maduro’s re-election last year was rigged. It has stepped up sanctions and other diplomatic measures in the hopes of forcing him to give up power.

UK leader May rolling the dice again on Brexit deal LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May rolled the dice Thursday on another Brexit vote in Parliament, sending a tweaked and trimmed version of her EU divorce deal back to lawmakers who had rejected it twice before. But the agreement faced substantial opposition, even after May sacrificed her job for her deal, promising to quit if lawmakers approved the deal and let Britain leave the EU on schedule in May. House of Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom announced that Parliament would vote Friday on the 585page withdrawal agreement that sets out the terms of Britain’s departure — but not a shorter declaration on future ties that is also part of the divorce deal agreed between the U.K. and the EU late last year. Its removal altered the deal enough to overcome a ban on against asking lawmakers the same question over and over again. If the withdrawal agreement is approved by 11 p.m. U.K. time, the EU has agreed to delay Britain’s departure from the bloc until May 22. If it is rejected, Britain has until April 12 to announce a new plan, or leave the bloc without a deal, risking severe disruption for people and businesses. “I encourage all MPs to support it and ensure that we leave the EU on the 22nd of May, giving people and businesses the certainty they need,” Leadsom said. May pledged Wednesday that she would resign if the deal was approved, in hopes of blunting opposition from pro-Brexit lawmakers in her Conservative Party, who accuse her of negotiating a bad divorce deal that leaves Britain too closely tied to the bloc. Some prominent opponents, including former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, quickly said they would back the Brexit agreement, but Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party said it remained opposed because of concern that the deal treats the region differently from other parts of the U.K. The main opposition Labour Party also said it would not vote for the deal Friday. Labour Party Brexit spokesman Keir Starmer said removing the political declaration, which sets out a loose framework for future relations between Britain and the bloc, would leave the next stage of negotiations in the hands of May’s successor. That is very likely to be someone from the hard-line pro-Brexit wing of the Conservative Party. Starmer said it would amount to “leaving the EU with absolutely no idea where we’re heading.” Almost three years after Britain voted to leave the EU, Brexit has brought the country’s political system to a standstill. The impasse has frustrated EU politicians trying to negotiate an exit agreement, and it has surprised observers around the world who had viewed Britain’s 1,000-year-old parliamentary system as a model of stability. — The Assocaited Press

Today in History Today is Friday, March 29, the 88th day of 2019. There are 277 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 29, 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted in New York of conspiracy to commit espionage for the Soviet Union. (They were executed in June 1953.) On this date: In 1638, Swedish colonists settled in present-day Delaware. In 1867, Britain’s Parliament passed, and Queen Victoria signed, the British North America Act creating the Dominion of Canada, which came into being the following July. In 1912, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott, his doomed expedition stranded in an Antarctic blizzard after failing to be the first to reach the South Pole, wrote the last words of his journal: “For Gods sake look after our people.” In 1943, World War II rationing of meat, fats and cheese began, limiting consumers to store purchases of an average of about two pounds a week for beef, pork, lamb and mutton using a coupon system. (The Associated Press noted, “From the customer viewpoint, the unrationed oasis of food will be the restaurant or other public eating place.”) In 1951, The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The King and I” opened on Broadway. In 1962, Jack Paar hosted NBC’s “Tonight” show for the final time. (Johnny Carson debuted as host the following October.) In 1971, Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr. was convicted of murdering 22 Vietnamese civilians in the 1968 My Lai (mee ly) massacre. (Calley ended up serving three years under house arrest.) A jury in Los Angeles recommended the death penalty for Charles Manson and three female followers for the 1969 Tate-La Bianca murders. (The sentences were later commuted.) In 1973, the last United States combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct military involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1974, eight Ohio National Guardsmen were indicted on federal charges stemming from the shooting deaths of four students at Kent State University. (The charges were later dismissed.) In 1989, at the Academy Awards, “Rain Man” won best picture, best director for Barry Levinson and best actor for Dustin Hoffman; Jodie Foster won best actress for “The Accused.” (This was the Oscars ceremony that featured the notorious opening number with Rob Lowe and “Snow White.”) In 2005, attorney Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. died in Los Angeles at age 67. Former U.S. Senator Howell Heflin died in Sheffield, Alabama, at age 83. In 2017, Britain filed for divorce from the European Union as Prime Minister Theresa May sent a six-page letter to EU Council President Donald Tusk. Two former aides to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were sentenced to prison for creating a colossal traffic jam at the George Washington Bridge for political revenge, a scandal that sank Christie’s White House hopes. Ten years ago: General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner resigned under White House pressure. A gunman killed seven residents of the Pinelake Health and Rehabilitation Center in Carthage, N.C., along with a nurse. (Robert Kenneth Stewart was convicted of second-degree murder and other charges and sentenced to more than 140 years in prison.) A stampede at a World Cup qualifying soccer match in the Ivory Coast killed 22 people. Five years ago: Two Spanish journalists, Javier Espinosa and Ricardo Garcia Vilanova, were freed after being held captive for six months in Syria by a rogue al-Qaida group. Mao Asada of Japan topped the free skate to capture her third world figure skating title. One year ago: Russia announced the expulsion of more than 150 diplomats, including 60 Americans, and said it was closing a U.S. consulate in retaliation for Western expulsions of Russian diplomats over the poisoning of an ex-spy and his daughter in Britain. Malala Yousafzai returned home to Pakistan for a four-day visit, the first by the 20-yearold Nobel laureate since she was shot by the Taliban five years earlier for speaking out in support of education of girls. The 2018 baseball season began with a home run from Ian Happ of the Chicago Cubs on the season’s first pitch, while Giancarlo Stanton hit two homers in his debut with the New York Yankees. Rusty Staub, whose fiery orange hair and gregarious personality had charmed baseball fans in the United States and Canada during an All-Star career that spanned 23 seasons, died in Florida at the age of 73. Today’s Birthdays: Author Judith Guest is 83. Former British Prime Minister Sir John Major is 76. Comedian Eric Idle is 76. Composer Vangelis is 76. Basketball Hall of Famer Walt Frazier is 74.

The true meaning of St. Patrick’s Day V oices

F aith

R ev . D ustin A tkinson

On Sunday, March 17, 1991, two weeks after I was born, I was baptized. That day, at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Huber Heights, Ohio, “God the Father made [me] a member of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and an heir with [you] of all the treasures of heaven in the one holy Christian and apostolic Church.” I think about what happened on that day often, remembering that I am a baptized child of God. However, sometimes when I remember that date, I am reminded of someone else. March 17 is more popularly known as St. Patrick’s Day. This is the day that many of us might think of the color green, leprechauns, rainbows and pots

of gold. St. Patrick’s Day is much more than that. It’s the day that the church celebrates Patrick, the missionary of the Irish people. St. Patrick was born in Britain during the fourth century. When he was 16, he was captured by Irish pirates during one of their raids. After bring brought over to Ireland, he was enslaved and forced to work as a shepherd under his Irish captors. Six years later, he escaped slavery and made it back to Britain, where he became a monk. Living among the Irish for six years gave him a vast knowledge of their language and culture, and, because of this knowledge, he felt the Lord calling him to spread the gospel, and share the joy of God’s salvation among the pagan Irish people. St. Patrick sailed to Ireland and faced the culture that had enslaved him, not with anger

and malice, but with the love of Christ. God worked through St. Patrick to bring hundreds of thousands of people into His family. God used him to establish churches, baptize men, women and children, and train priests and monks to serve the young Christian Church in Ireland. Most importantly, God used St. Patrick to show the love He has for all of mankind. Sin made us enemies of God, and all we deserved was His divine wrath and judgment. Instead of destroying us, He loved us. In the face of our idolatry, God sent His only Son to take upon all of our sin, and suffer for them all in our place. God used St. Patrick to illustrate His great love for the Irish people. St. Patrick was taken from his home, force to work, and treated like he was nothing. In the face of the people who

treated him horribly, God gave St. Patrick the courage and strength to share the blessings of God’s love. Which is what God does through you. Baptized into God’s family, you are washed clean of your sins. Christ now dwells in you, and you in Him. God uses you to be an example of His love just

have a house in Nebraska. My sister and I, who lived in it together on and off for several years, like to call it the “spinster cottage.” It’s my in-between place. It’s the place I went when New York and I were on a break. It’s where I found balance in between the seesaw swings of tropical adventures. It was where I hovered, unsure of my path, when the tropical adventure lost its sheen. I bought it in 2012 during my first sabbatical from the Pacific. I didn’t really know if I wanted to buy a house — in Nebraska no less — but the housing market had cratered, I was living at my parents’ house in the country, and biding my time with a job driving thousands of miles a week to what seemed like every rail yard east of the Mississippi. I started house hunting in a semirundown neighborhood a few blocks from the downtown, or as much of a downtown as Lincoln has, near my brother’s house — a haunted, nearly condemned Victorian bought for cash a decade after someone was murdered on its steps. Everything in the neighborhood creaked, had character or was lopsided. I looked at houses on and off, but nothing jumped out. But the real estate lady kept calling me, and I kept showing up, maybe out of politeness, maybe out of curiosity. When she called me about my house, I was skeptical. It was blocks away from the area I was searching, and she wanted me to drop by after work — a time I really wanted to spend icee in hand, on the swing at my parents’ with my dogs. But I went. And then I found my house. It was a bungalow, yellow, with a rickety back porch, a scorched decade-old roof and a dilapidated fence ringing the whole property, house included. The grass was overgrown, concrete benches had sunk backward into the ground from gravity and disuse. There was a rickety swing, perched on years worth of black walnut shells that had been crushed by the jaws of impudent squirrels. But there were trees. Cottonwood and walnut and mulberry and rosebud, they ringed the yard, hanging over the roof, blocking sunlight, winding up through power lines — their canopy leaning into the bright blue sky. And when I looked up, all I could see was the crisscrossing lines, delicate, random, but connected to each other. And I recognized them. I have been drawing those lines my whole life.

Ice Dogs topple Brown Bears By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai River Brown Bears got their final weekend of North American Hockey League play off to a slow start, dropping a 3-1 tilt to their northern rival Ice Dogs in Fairbanks’ Big Dipper Ice Arena. However, that doesn’t mean they’re mailing it home with just two games remaining. “The attitude is still remaining really focused and positive,” said interim head coach Dan Bogdan. “They’re not packing it in by any means. We’re excited to have the chance to play again tomorrow. We’re waking up tomorrow focused and ready to play.” The Ice Dogs scored in all

three periods of action to back up a sterling defensive effort. Fairbanks held Kenai River to 20 shots on goal and netminder Mattias Sholl earned the win with 19 saves. Overall, Fairbanks outshot Kenai River 40-20. Brown Bears goalie Gavin Enright stopped 37 shots of 40. Latvian product Lukass Sicevs tallied the lone goal of the night for Kenai River, his first with the team since arriving in February. Fairbanks leads the season series 8-2, having already clinched the Ravn Cup for season superiority between the two Alaska rivals. The Brown Bears drop to 22-30-3-3 and remain fifth out of six teams in the NAHL Midwest Division. The Bears have lost four of the last five.

While buoyed by the team’s spirit, Bogdan said the Brown Bears struggled to create scoring opportunities on offense, something that hasn’t been much of a problem lately. “We didn’t do our job getting to the dirty areas,” Bogdan said. “We were struggling to get grade A chances at the net, and we are usually good at getting a lot of those shots but we just didn’t have a good shot selection.” Fairbanks came out hot, outshooting Kenai River 14-3 in the first period, including a scoring strike from Matt Koethe with 34 seconds left to the intermission. Bogdan called it the only “legitimate” goal the Ice Dogs had. “It was a 2-on-1 rush that (Koethe) put home on a one-timer,”

he said. It wasn’t long out of the break before Fairbanks pushed the lead to 2-0 as John Stampohar got a lucky bounce just 58 seconds into the period. Bogdan saw the puck ricochet off a Brown Bears player’s leg. Sicevs snapped Sholl’s shutout with a high glove-side rip, directing a one-timer on an assist from Ryan Reid, putting the Bears on the board and cutting the lead to 2-1 early in the second. The goal was Sicevs’ sixth of the year and first since Dec. 21, 2018, when he played for the Shreveport (Louisiana) Mudbugs. Brenden MacLaren chipped in Fairbanks’ third goal of the night early in the third period on a rare

Seward nabs state cheer title Kenai Central captures 2nd place in Division II By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

The Seward cheerleading squad took first in Division II, while Kenai Central was second, on March 20 at the March Madness Alaska state cheerleading competition at the Alaska Airlines Center in Anchorage. “We’re generally pretty supportive of each other, and obviously we’re both passionate about cheerleading and the students involved,” Seward coach Haley Hatch said of her relationship with Kenai coach Brianna Force. “We’d also both love to see the sport grow. “It’s neat that two peninsula schools took first and second at state.” Force said the squads got to know each other well at the Southcentral Conference basketball tournament. “It was great to see the athletes build camaraderie and friendship with another local team,” Force wrote in an email. For Seward, it was the first state cheerleading title since 2006, which also happens to be the year Hatch graduated from

Seward High School. Hatch and assistant Rebekah Ivy, a 2003 graduate of Seward, have been bringing squads to state for the past six years, with the exception of last year. Hatch has been the head coach for the past three years. The Seward squad had four members this season, also the number of members on the 2006 title squad. There is no minimum number of cheerleaders required. Senior Emilia Whitcomb cheered at state for the Seahawks as a freshman and sophomore, but the other three members were all new to cheerleading. Those members are junior Kyrsten Johnson-Gray, freshman Gaia Casagranda and senior Jessica Batubara, an exchange student from Indonesia. Hatch said the team overcame inexperience to be state champion by working hard for two hours at practice each day. “Rebekah and I asked them what kind of team they wanted to be, what goals they wanted to accomplish,” Hatch said. “Rebekah and I are always pushing them toward a competitive level, but ultimately it’s up to them

what they want to do. “They were interested in becoming a competitive cheerleading team so we took it seriously, conditioned hard and tried different stunts.” Hatch and Ivy don’t have a background in tumbling, so several community members came in to help. What also helped is the Southcentral Conference basketball tournament was in Seward this season. There hadn’t been a cheerleading competition at the conference level in some time, but Kenai, Anchorage Christian Schools and Homer agreed with Seward to do a competition at conference. Kenai won at the conference tournament, while Seward finished second, but Hatch said the Seahawks gained valuable experience. In the regular season, Seward’s cheer squad was only in the gym with another cheer squad twice, and those two occasions came in the final two weeks of the season. “It was nice to get a chance to see what other squads were bringing forward,” Hatch said. See CHEER, page A9

Bryce Harper bowed to his new fans, Mookie Betts and the World Series champion Boston Red Sox drew cheers far from Fenway Park and the great Mariano Rivera threw one more strike from the mound at Yankee Stadium. Then it was time to play Home Run Derby on a record-setting opening day. The ball was flying Thursday — Joc Pederson and the Los Angeles Dodgers connected eight times, and the total of 48 across the majors was the most ever to start. “Everyone kind of knocked us last year for scoring too many runs off homers,” said Max Muncy, who also connected at Dodger Stadium. “But if you’re going to do it, you might as well do it like that.” Elsewhere, Lorenzo Cain made a game-saving catch in Milwaukee, Javier Baez swung a powerful bat for the Cubs and Detroit’s Jordan Zimmermann came close to giving Major League Baseball a perfect start. A week after Ichiro Suzuki and the Seattle Mariners swept two games from Oakland at the Tokyo Dome, everybody was in action. The packed crowd at Citizens Bank Park was especially energized by Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies in a 10-4 win over Atlanta. “The atmosphere was unbelievable,” Harper said. “The atmosphere was rocking all through the game.” The weather also cooperated. A year after it was more fit for snowballs than baseballs at some stadiums, the conditions were fine. A little rainy in Kansas City, causing a slight delay, but no freezing temperatures anywhere. Cy Young Award winners past and present took the hill — Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer delivered the marquee matchup that was expected, but a duel never developed between Justin Verlander and Blake Snell. Zimmermann carried a perfect game into the seventh inning at Toronto. Robinson Cano, Andrew McCutchen and Marwin Gonzalez got key hits for their new clubs. Harper, Manny Machado and Paul Goldschmidt didn’t.

Passing of a conservation hero

Former Congressman John Dingell Jr., who passed away last month, with Regional Director Tom Melius and John Hartig, former manager of the Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge, in 2017 (Photo by USFWS).

ast month, John D. Dingell Jr. passed away. He represented Michigan in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1955 through the next 60 years, making him the longest serving member of Congress. Over his 92-year life, Dingell was a congressional page, a National Park Ranger, a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army during World War II, an assistant county prosecutor, and always an avid angler and hunter. Dingell championed conservation and public health during his time in the House. He was instrumental in passage of the 1964 Wilderness Act, 1965 Water Quality Act, 1970 National Environmental Protection Act,

R efuge N otebook J ohn M orton 1972 Clean Water Act, 1973 Endangered Species Act, 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act and the 1990 Clean Air Act. He was reportedly most proud of his work on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Dingell authored the Refuge Administration Act of 1966 and sponsored the Refuge Improvement Act in 1997, which are the laws that established the National Wildlife Refuge System. He later helped establish the

Detroit River International Wildlife Refuge, a refuge that lies along the border between the U.S. and Canada. Conceived in 2000, it took just nine months after Dingell introduced a bill to establish the refuge for President George W. Bush to sign it into law. The refuge’s visitor center, currently being built, will bear Dingell’s name. To honor his legacy, President Trump just signed into law what is now called the John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management and Recreation Act, perhaps the single-most important and widereaching public lands legislation since the 1970s. The act packages 120 or so See REFUGE, page A9

bills. It permanently authorizes the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which devotes a portion of revenues from offshore oil and gas extraction leases to fund a variety of public access to public lands programs nationwide. The Dingell Act also creates three Wilderness areas in New Mexico. It adds 60 miles of the Green River in Utah and the Farmington River in Connecticut to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. It permanently withdraws federal mineral rights from two areas adjacent to Yellowstone and North Cascades national parks. It reauthorizes the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, and the Neotropical Migratory Bird Act,

Kenai had won the state title for small squads last year, but this year featured a new format called game day competition. There were nine schools at Division II, schools with 500 students or less, and nine schools at Division I. Hatch said her squad would end up with the highest overall score out of both divisions. The game day competition is 60 percent sideline cheers, timeout cheers and situation cheers that the squads used during the season. The other 40 percent is a halftime routine that is 2.5 minutes. “I love how this event unites cheerleaders from all over the state and gives them the opportunity to showcase their talent,” Force wrote. Hatch said the environment was electric, with cheer squads from around the state chanting out the required school colors and initials during each team’s cheers. Force also was happy with the way her team’s hard work paid off during

A 21st Century Conservation Service Corps will be established, the purpose of which is to create programs for youth and veterans who will work to restore national parks and other public lands. Ten of the bills in the Dingell Act are specific to Alaska. They range from the Kake Timber Parity Act, which allows the Kake Tribal Corporation to export unprocessed logs, to the Ukpeagvik Land Conveyance, which will give the North Slope community a new revenue source by conferring rights to sand and gravel within the Barrow Gas Field to the Ukpeagvik Iñupiat Corporation. Perhaps the most significant piece is the Alaska Native Veterans Land Allotment Equity Act, which will allow Alaska Native veterans (or their descendants) to apply for their 160-acre allotment,

The squad consisted of senior Hannah Olson, juniors Sirinda Rongsakul, Keelin McGraw, Morgan Mallory and Samuel Ward, and sophomores Nia Calvert, Arielle Hamar, Karley Harden, Rileigh Pace and Valerie Brophy. Tavia Wilson is the assistant coach. Both Hatch and Force are excited to see the sport grow. “We’ve been encouraging other schools to come out and try it,” Hatch said. “We’d love for higher numbers and to increase the visibility of the sport.

And every night I keep painting more. It seems less and less likely that I will be heading back to my in-between place anytime soon. My house now has a family in it — with kid and dog and garden. My journals are in a box or a closet somewhere, a few thousand miles away. My sister, hardly a spinster, lives in a downtown apartment with concrete floors and her too-respectable boyfriend.

What I find amazing is that John Dingell Sr., his father, also served in House for 22 years. Unknown to many who fish in public waters, Dingell Sr. helped create a foundational mechanism for funding fish habitat conservation, public lands access, recreational facilities maintenance and other conservation programs like angler education services. With Sen. Edwin Johnson of Colorado, he co-authored the Dingell–Johnson Act, also called the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950. It authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to provide financial assistance for state fish restoration and management plans and projects. Federal funds are generated by

Soldotna High junior Jersey Truesdell received the Youth Pride of Alaska Award in the annual Alaska Sports Hall of Fame Directors’ Awards announced Thursday. Truesdell was the youth male winner, while West Valley cross-country runner and skier Kendall Kramer was the youth female winner. The Directors’ Awards are selected by the Hall of Fame’s board of directors.

The honor is given to athletes for “consistent excellence in athletic competition.” Truesdell recently led the SoHi boys basketball team to a runner-up Northern Lights Conference tournament finish, then an upset run to the state 4A boys semifinals with 31 points in a 45-42 quarterfinal win over West Anchorage.

laws, they have collectively generated $20 billion for fish and wildlife conservation nationwide! Clean water to drink, clean air to breathe, the recovery of onceendangered peregrine falcons and the existence of Kenai Wilderness within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge are just some of the legacies of John D. Dingell Jr. In May 2014, the National Wildlife Refuge Association recognized the vast contributions of Dingell Jr. by awarding him the inaugural Theodore Roosevelt Lifetime Achievement Award. I can’t imagine a more deserving conservation hero. Dr. John Morton is the supervisory biologist at Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.

Money’s tight, but Ireland is calling `Dear Heloise: I’m a college student who plans on going to Ireland this summer, and I’ll be on a TIGHT BUDGET. Got any hints for me? -- Carl F., Troy, Mich. Carl, Ireland used to be an inexpensive place to visit, but like all things, prices have gone up. However, you can still enjoy a visit and stay on a budget. First, look at online travel companies for the best air-travel fares. Also, there are discount offers available for students visiting Ireland. In general, traveling to Ireland is less expensive in the offseason (October through November and late winter through early spring). Traveling to other countries can be fun and educational. Enjoy your trip! -- Heloise SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795001 San Antonio, TX 78279-5001 Fax: 1-210-HELOISE Email: Heloise@Heloise.com SCAM ALERT Dear Heloise: There’s a new scam going around. Someone calls claiming to be a police officer and says that you missed jury duty and a fine has been assessed at $1,500. If not paid immediately, a warrant for your arrest will be issued in two hours. The caller offers to give you a chance to contact the police in order to verify whether this is true, and he gives you a number to call. Needless to say, it’s a bogus number with one of his cohorts on the other end of the phone. The police will NEVER call you about an arrest warrant or missing jury duty. Phone scammers want you to shell out money, but you should hang up on them. My sister-in-law is now $1,500 out of pocket due to this scam. -- Dan in Anaheim, Calif.

Hints from Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, March 29, 2019: This year you expand your insight and perspective. You could meet a foreigner who may be instrumental in opening your eyes. If single, this person could become more than just a friend. In any case, a relationship will blossom this year. If attached, the two of you enjoy each other more and more, yet have the capacity to deal with difficult situations. AQUARIUS makes a great friend.

Do not make any final decisions yet; instead, give yourself a day or two. Tonight: Make an appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Be more direct with a friend or associate. He or she thinks very differently than you, yet you always understand each other. You both seem to be in the process of revitalizing your thinking. You will spontaneously energize. Tonight: Look beyond the obvious. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Relate directly to a loved one. Do not hesitate to share what you’re thinking.

Tonight: Opt for togetherness. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH If you can wait for the other party to make the first move, by all means do. You might be more likely to win in a power play.

DEAR ABBY: My husband recently broke his eyeglasses. Because they couldn’t be repaired locally, he sent them by mail to a company that had been referred to him. They fixed his glasses and returned them to him. A short time later he received an email from the company “salesperson” requesting a tip! (“If you are happy with me as your salesperson and would like to give me a tip, please click on the link below.”) My husband replied, “Can you please send me a receipt? I need it for my records.” She replied, “How much will you tip me?” He said, “Is the only way I can get a receipt for my repairs if I tip you?” She replied, “Yes, can you give me $5?” I have never heard of an online company soliciting tips before, let alone refusing to send a receipt unless one is given. How would you respond to this? Getting a receipt is not the important thing here; it’s the solicitation that dumbfounds me! -- DUMBFOUNDED IN TINLEY PARK, ILL. DEAR DUMBFOUNDED: Every time I think I have heard everything, a letter like yours crosses my desk. The word for what that salesperson is attempting is extortion.

Police reports Information for this report was taken from publicly available law enforcement and public safety records and includes arrest and citation information. Anyone listed in this report is presumed innocent. n On Mar. 25 at 11:17 a.m., David Johannes, 23, of Anchorage, contacted Alaska State Troopers to report that he had rolled his semitruck near Mile 8.6 of the Seward Highway. Investigation revealed that Johannes was operating a red 2014 Peterbilt, towing two flatbed trailers, northbound on the Seward Highway. The first trailer was loaded with wire mesh, and the second trailer was loaded with a Conex. While attempting to negotiate an S-curve, the front

Jones said a warming ocean and the prevalence of predators are two significant factors, but there could be more to it. “I don’t know that we’re ever going to pin that down,” Jones said. “I think, my personal opinion is, there are lots of factors that are affecting the survival of these fish in any given year. Obviously there’s something overwhelming that’s driving it right now.”

Development Corporation (AGDC) to determine if the project is still in the state’s best interest. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is also working on an Environmental Impact Survey (EIS) for the project that is due to be completed in March of 2020. Clarion Reporter Brian Mazurek: I’d like to know where your administration stands on the Alaska LNG Project. Are they going to continue to fund AGDC through the completion of the environmental impact survey? And does your administration believe that this is still something that would be good for Alaska? Dunleavy: So if AGDC through their economic study determines that it’s not economical or it’s not feasible, I’m not sure why we would continue with a non-economic project. We just got back from Houston, Texas for CERAWeek, which is one of the largest, if not the largest, gas and oil investor conferences in the world. Folks from all over the world were there, from Saudi Sheiks to folks from Asia, Europe and North America. There are all kinds of gas projects and oil projects going

trailer began tipping towards the northbound ditch. The trailer was unable to recover and rolled, causing the rear trailer and the truck to roll with it. The truck suffered substantial damage and blocked the northbound lane of the highway. The trailers rolled into the northbound ditch of the highway. Johannes denied suffering any injuries and reported to have been wearing his seat belt. Webb’s Towing responded to remove the truck and trailers from the roadway. Alcohol was not a factor. n On Mar. 26 at about 3:00 p.m., Alaska State Troopers stopped a Toyota sedan near Mile 9 of Funny River Road for an equipment violation. The driver was identified as Robert Jackson, 30, of Anchorage. The passenger was identi-

ADF&G expects 9,050 adult chinook will spawn on the Taku River, which means there is no allowable catch expected because the expected number is well below the escapement goal range of 19,000-36,000 fish, according to ADF&G’s forecast released in November. The report forecasts 8,250 chinook will spawn on the Stikine River, which is below the escapement goal range of 14,000-28,000 fish. As a result of the low forecast, ADF&G is taking the same conservative approach as it took last

year, limiting the number of chinook salmon people can catch. Dan Teske, Juneau area sport fish management biologist for ADF&G, said in his presentation that people are again forbidden to retain king salmon between April 1 and June 15, just like last year. “For the sport angler, there are no major changes,” Teske said. “The major changes came last year.” Part of the three-hour meeting at Centennial Hall was open for people to ask questions. The questions were all over the map, from asking about the ef-

fect that hatchery fish have on wild runs to oversight of tourism fishing companies to the role predators might play in the case of the disappearing salmon. One of the anglers who attended the meeting and asked questions was Mark Vinsel. Vinsel, an avid sport fisherman, said there wasn’t anything new or groundbreaking presented during the meeting, but he thought it was still a valuable experience to get involved and get a look into the decision-making process for managing fisheries. “It’s a little window, a

little porthole of chinook, into the complexity of all the science and the management considerations for all the different users,” Vinsel said, “and also part of the public process by which these regulations come to be.” For the most part, attendees and presenters were pessimistic about the short-term forecasts, using words like “cataclysmic” and “unprecedented” to describe the low returns and projections. During his presentation, Jones tried to stay positive. He pointed to Washington State’s Columbia River,

which had abysmal salmon runs in the mid-2000s only to set records for salmon runs in the coming years. Jones said he’s clinging to the hope that this is just a natural down cycle of returns and that things will return to normal soon. There isn’t any projection that sees that happening, he said, but he’s remaining hopeful. “I will say we don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel right now in Southeast Alaska … but I do believe, I firmly believe, we’re going to cycle up out of this at some point,” Jones said.

on and those projects are competing for investment funds. And so, AGDC will know hopefully within 50 days or less whether the project as it’s laid out is feasible and economic and then we’ll get that report. But I’m going to let them do their business and then let us know what’s going on. Revenue Commissioner Bruce Tangeman: And I could add one quick thing to that because there is some confusion. Everybody’s concerned about the FERC permit getting done. The FERC permit has a shelf life, and it’s for a very specific project. So even if you got it done and put it on the shelf, it is only good for a certain number of years and you would have to build that exact same project. So not only would it have to be economic within a window, I believe seven years or so, it would have to be the exact same project. So I think that’s why it’s important to understand if it’s economic first. If this thing isn’t going to pencil out, then do you throw your last $30 million to get something that may or may not be useful down the road? So I think that’s what Joe Dubler is looking into right now, is does this thing really have legs. The biggest thing is spreading the risk. The previous administration decided to put

100 percent of the risk on the state’s shoulders. That puts the permanent fund at risk. That puts our state’s future at risk. We’ve spent a billion dollars, but it’s in the context of a $50 to $60 billion project possibly. So we are a long, long way from breaking ground on this project. So now is the time to see if it’s going to work, see if there are partners that are going to help us de-risk this thing and then move forward under that scenario. Mazurek: So if AGDC determines that this project is not economically beneficial, then we will not pursue finishing the environmental impact survey either? Dunleavy: If they determine that it’s not economic, that’s a real possibility. But I think what AGDC will do is, have a conversation with the Legislature because it is a creature of two bills that were passed to try and get gas to Alaskans. They then will have the conversation with the Legislature as to what they want us to do next. Meaning, what do they want AGDC to do in the state next? Do they want to find other ways to monetize their gas? Other ways to maybe export the gas? They’ll have that conversation with them, I hope. Mazurek: I’d like to transition to the Wildwood

Correctional Facility. Part of your budget includes closing down a section of the Wildwood Correctional Facility, which would lead to about 40 people being laid off here in the peninsula. Is shutting down a portion of Wildwood in line with your promises to be tough on crime? Dunleavy: Yeah, very good question. I’m going to defer to the OMB Director Arduin on this particular issue. Office of Management and Budget Director Donna Arduin: The reason that one was chosen is it’s one of the only places in the state where there’s a separate building, separate facility, for the sentenced versus the pretrial population. If you’re going to save money on corrections, you have to shut down a prison. You can’t just move some people out. You still have all of your costs, you still have the correctional officers who still have all the overhead. You still have all the expenses. So that’s why the Wildwood sentenced wing was chosen. Mazurek: The budget also includes roughly 500 prisoners being shipped out of state, to be housed in a different facility. There is a cost-savings associated with that move, about $18 million. There is also a social cost to a move like that in terms of inmates

being able to get in contact with family members, who may or may not be able to visit them if they move hundreds or thousands of miles out of state. It also affects those inmates ability to reenter into society if we’re assuming that they’re going to come back to the state of Alaska after they’ve served their sentence. Have you taken that into account? Arduin: The 500 who would be sent out of state are going to have the longest remaining sentences. We have a number of prisoners around the state who have over 20 years left in their sentence. So we’re looking at sending those who have long-term sentences out of state, not necessarily the same prisoners who are sentenced here at Wildwood. The governor also has anti-crime bills. It’s what I call them because they are to stop crime. If those proposals would actually add prisoners — a number of prisoners. So that budget proposal will change significantly in terms of shutting prisons down. We may still send prisoners out of state, but we’re likely to be opening prisons, not shutting them. If the Legislature would pass the crime bills. Mazurek: In the press conference, after you introduced those crime bills to legislation, you men-

tioned that you’re more than willing to increase the resources to house additional prisoners if necessary. Are you still committed to that? Dunleavy: Yes, I’m committed to improving our public safety outcomes across the board dramatically. They’re the worst in the country. Absolutely. I’ve made no secret, no qualms about that. Mazurek: A local activist group called Community United for Safety and Protection has recently asked legislators to amend one of your crime bills to include language that would criminalize the practice of police officers engaging in sexual conduct during an investigation. Are you aware of this and would you support such an amendment to your legislation? Would you be willing to look into this? Dunleavy: I’m not aware of what the amendment is, what it says, et cetera. So I don’t want to be speaking out of turn. We’ll look into it to understand it. I guess my view would be police officers engaging in sexual conduct while they’re on duty sounds like a pretty inappropriate thing for them to be doing. I’m glad you brought it to our attention.

The following dismissals were recently handed down in Kenai District Court: An amended charge of attempted first-degree vehicle theft against Johnathon Joseph Dalebout, 35, of Soldotna, was dismissed.
