In the news Authorities investigate trooperinvolved shooting ANCHORAGE — Authorities are investigating a trooper-involved shooting that left a 25-year-old Fairbanks man dead.

Alaska State Troopers say Kevin Ray McEnulty was shot Sunday night in Fairbanks after he brandished a firearm.

Troopers and officers from Fairbanks and the University of Alaska Fairbanks police departments had responded to a call about shots being fired on Loftus Drive.

Troopers say the suspect had left the area in a vehicle by the time authorities responded.

Troopers say the vehicle was found soon after in a nearby Geist Road parking lot, where McEnulty was shot.

Troopers say he died at the scene.

No officers were injured.

Troopers say the name of the officer or officers involved will be released 72 hours after the shooting.

2 dead after ATVs crash through Kuskokwim river ANCHORAGE — Alaska State Troopers say responders have recovered the bodies of two people who died after their all-terrain vehicles broke through the ice on the Kuskokwim River.

Trooper spokesman Tim DeSpain says the bodies were recovered Sunday. But he adds that responders decided to wait overnight to bring them back to Bethel because of darkness, thin ice and a lack of resources after three survivors were transported from the scene.

DeSpain says plans were underway to transport the bodies Monday afternoon to Bethel.

The names of the two deceased people were not immediately released.

The two were among five people traveling on the two ATVs that crashed through the ice.

Troopers took a call about the accident Sunday night.

Three people made it out of the river and were transported to Bethel Hospital for treatment of hypothermia.

School district passes budget

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District passed a “status quo” budget at Monday night’s board meeting, and has asked the borough for the full funding of $52 million. The school district passed a total general fund revenue budget of $145,387,469, which includes the $52 million in local funding plus state funding.

Last April, the preliminary budget passed by the school board allocated more than $142 million in general fund revenue across the district.

On a state level, the district has been operating under the assump-

tion of flat funding from the base student allocation of nearly $6,000 per student from the Foun-

dation Funding Formula, totaling just under $80 million in state funding.

The district would

face a loss of more than $22 million if Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed budget passes.

The Kenai City Council will look at two resolutions Wednesday night that ask them to support local entities in the face of state budget cuts.

School board to interview superintendent candidates

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

Two candidates will be interviewed for the position of superintendent by the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Board of Education Thursday, a press

release said.

The board will interview Mr. John Pothast, the current director of elementary and secondary education for the district, and Dr. Christine Ermold, current director of human resources and professional development

for the district.

The school board worked with the Association of Alaska School Boards to facilitate the search. The search drew in three candidates, however, Dr. Ken Haptonstall withdrew his application on Sunday, the

release said.

Pothast has a bachelor’s degree in “secondary education: English and communications” from the University of Minnesota-Duluth, and a master’s degree in “educational leadership” from Northern Arizona Universi-

ty, according to his resume.

Pothast has been an English teacher at Kenai Peninsula College since 2016. He served as the principal of Skyview High School from 1999 to 2005, the principal of Redoubt Elementary See BOARD, page A2

Scientists detail Pebble Mine concerns Soldotna

By MOLLIE BARNES Juneau Empire

Representatives have been grappling with the a proposal to develop a mine near Bristol Bay. As a part of the wider discussion, the House Resources committee heard Monday from a group of scientists and advocates who disagree with the Pebble Mine project, which proposes developing the Pebble copper-­ gold­-molybdenum porphyry deposit (Pebble Deposit) in southwest Alaska as an open-pit mine, with associated infrastructure.

Bill would help immersion school teachers

By MOLLIE BARNES Juneau Empire

Lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it easier for non-native English speakers to get their teaching certificates in Alaska.

The House Education

committee held a hearing Monday to discuss House Bill 24, a bill regarding teaching in languages other than English.

They took public testimony about the bill, which would allow the department to issue a limited teacher

certificate, valid only in the area of expertise for which it is issued, to a person to teach Alaska Native culture, military science, vocational or technical education or any subject if the language of instruction is not English.

“We aren’t just looking

for individuals who are fluent in Spanish, we are looking for teachers who … can really develop these programs,” said Katherine Gardner from the Matanuska-Susitna School District on the phone.

“What HB 24 does for us is See BILL, page A3

Construction has started on an outdoor basketball court in Soldotna Creek Park.

The project was approved as part of the city’s Five Year Capital Plan along with $55,000 in funds from the city’s general fund.

The court will be located between the playground and restrooms and will address two needs, according to the city. The court will improve overall park safety and give the youth more recreational opportunities.

According to Soldotna’s Parks and Recreation Director Andrew Carmichael, the court will be completed by early summer.

JUNEAU — Members of Alaska’s human rights commission reached no decision Monday on the fate of their embattled executive director, who faced criticism for questioning as racist a “Black Rifles Matter” sticker on a truck in the commission’s parking lot.

Chairman Brandon Nakasato said the commission was unable to reach a decision based on its discussion during an extended execu-

tive session. He said members would try to meet again soon, perhaps yet this week.

He confirmed the meeting in Anchorage was related to an investigation requested

by Gov. Mike Dunleavy. Nakasato said he expected any decision made by the commission to be done publicly.

Dunleavy sought an investigation after commission executive director Marti Buscaglia last month posted on the commission’s Facebook page a picture of a “Black Rifles Matter” stickSee RIFLE, page A11

and Bristol Bay residents held a press conference, detailing concerns with the draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in February. Some critics have said the 90-day comment period for this DEIS is not long enough, considering the length of the document.

The chief concerns were that the DEIS used too short of a time frame to associate the risks of the mine, it used an inappropriate fish habitat assessment, cumulative risks were essentially ignored, there was very little mention of long-term risks associated with climate change and that it used selective use of scientific literature when backing up claims.

“It is absolutely clear that it has way underestimated risks and does not pass as credible science,” said Daniel Schindler, a professor in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of Washington during the press conference.

the committee on the same topic soon.

Norman Van Vactor, a longtime participant in Bristol Bay fisheries and current CEO of the Bristol Bay Economic Development Corporation, said that he has absolutely no confidence in the Army permitting process.

“To allow Pebble to drive this permitting process makes absolutely no sense and defeats the purpose of a permitting process to begin with,” he said at the press conference. “(The) process should be testing their assumptions, not taking Pebble at it’s word. … Science drives the decision-making, not industry speculation, fantasies or good intentions. The Army Corps’ draft is the complete opposite — it ignores well documented data and is missing critical info. … Why are we lowering the bar to the lowest level possible? Alaska should be upholding strong standards and science-based permitting in all industries not just some.”

The group also took problem with the economic implications of the mine, saying that major mining companies would not invest in the project because it would not net enough profit if it was only open for 20 years, the period the DEIS draft uses.

“The economic world says this doesn’t work ei-

ther,” said Rick Halford, a former Alaska legislator. “Everything they do is designed to get a permit, and the permit is going to be worthless. This mine is at least a mile deep and it’s the richest at depth and to mine your way down to the money and then stop is a ridiculous assumption.”

They change in the middle of the process, Halford said. “They came in with a number for the size of their small mine … within months they’ve increased that by 25 percent. They’re not bound by what they’re trying to get a permit on and they know it.”

During the committee presentation, Rep. Ivy Spohnholz, D-Anchorage, said that there are more jobs at risk from potential effects of the mine than the mine itself would create. This comment came after Rep. Sara Rasmussen, R-Anchorage, asked how many of the fishery jobs were held by workers from out of state.

“Forty-eight percent of Alaska’s salmon comes from the region, 14,000 direct jobs (at the fishery) compared to 750 jobs presented to us last week

by Pebble Partnership,” Spohnholz said. “Even if only half of those go to year-round residents, that is a lot of jobs for a region in which people have lived for millenea. I think that’s a very important distinction

to make.”

Rasmussen also asked, “Why are so many people migrating from Southeast Alaska?”

She said a number of families have migrated to her district from the area and that the Pebble Mine could support infrastructure that would slow this migration.

Van Vactor said people migrate for different reasons. He said if the Pebble Mine project were to go through it would be mostly workers who come in for a certain period of time just to work at the mine, more like oil field workers rather than longtime residents.

A big issue the scientists said they had with the EIS was that the timeline was way too short to evaluate risks and that a 100-year analysis would have been better than a 20-year one, because the tailings dam has a 1 in 5 chance of failing over a century.

“There’s a lack of confidence in the Army Corps permitting process as it relates to this EIS project,” Van Vactor said. “I would ask the hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans in the Midwest right now how much confidence they have in the Army Corps of Engineers certification process as it relates to the dams and levees that have failed and flooding that is happening throughout the U.S.”

lege and the Wildwood Correctional Complex in light of Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed Fiscal Year 2020 budget.

The budget includes a $19 million cut to the Department of Corrections and would close the sentenced facilities at Wildwood.

“Closing the sentenced facility would cause the loss of about 46 full time positions at the jail,” said Council Member Robert Peterkin in a letter to the council. “Many of these employees live in Kenai with their families. The clo-

The show also has a different theme each year, and this year’s theme fits with the 40th anniversary of the event: “Humble beginnings and strong foundations; the Kenai Peninsula built upon for decades.”

Raye and KPBA have teamed up with the local historical societies to highlight ways

it provides an appropriate path for certification so we can employ them and retain them in these (Spanish immersion charter schools).”

She said they don’t have plans for expansion for new immersion programs in MatSu at this time.

Jennifer SchmidtHutchins, the principal of Fronteras Spanish Immersion charter school in MatSu also spoke about the struggles to hire and retain native Spanish-speaking teachers for their school, where students are taught exclusively in Spanish.

The school has a native Spanish speaker right now, who for three years has been trying to complete the courses required for her teaching

sure would cause economic hardship and may require residents to relocate for other job opportunities. Additionally several local businesses provide services to the facility and these businesses would lose that opportunity.”

Peterkin also argued that the governor’s proposal, which includes shipping inmates out of state instead of Wildwood, doesn’t necessary ensure savings for Alaska.

Wildwood has the secondlowest inmate cost per day in the state at $104.21 and the cost per day of housing inmates out of state is still unknown, according to Peterkin.

“Further Wildwood has many services provided by various community organi-

zations, including counseling and work opportunities that reduce recidivism,” Peterkin wrote. “To the contrary, prisoners sent out of state and housed with other out of state prisoners often return to Alaska with less chance of succeeding outside the criminal system then when they left.”

The council will also look at a resolution asking them to show support for the Kenai Peninsula College, which is facing a potential closure with the governor’s proposed funding for the University of Alaska system.

The college, which enrolls 5,700 students annually, is the largest University of Alaska community campus.

“Over the past three years, the Kenai Peninsula College has continued to work more efficiently with reductions in staff and increasing revenue by adding additional non-credit workforce development classes for professionals and educational summer camps for middle and high school students,” wrote Vice Mayor Tim Navarre in a letter to the council. “The impact of a potential closure of the Kenai River Campus goes beyond displacing students, faculty and staff. The economic impacts are difficult to measure, but the community would lose the availability of quality educational opportunities.”

The council will look at both resolutions during their meeting Wednesday at 6 p.m.

that the peninsula has changed over the years. A “Then and Now” presentation will be screened during the home show that will feature photographs of original storefronts and dirt roads side by side with their contemporary counterparts. In between the historical photographs will be ads and commercials from local businesses and KPBA members.

In addition to the main theme, vendors at the home show will focus on showing how to prepare a home for the later years and how to create a safe space to care for an ailing loved one. “Often when we buy a home in our 20s or 30s, and we want it to be our forever home, we don’t give a

lot of thought to all the things that will come up as we get older. Building ramps, widening doorways … there are things we can do to make that home work for you in the long run,” said Raye.

Raye said the theme is important because it focuses on how much the Kenai community has developed over the decades, as well as how much growth is still to come. Raye became the executive officer of KPBA in May of last year, and has used her experience in the IT industry to modernize the association’s online resources and increase its social media presence.

Raye is also looking to increase the capacity of KPBA’s

scholarship program, which currently offers four $1,000 scholarships every year to young people who wish to attend a trade school or other vocational training. Raye said she hopes to raise awareness of the scholarship as well increase the amount of money available for the program, and a booth will be at the home show to offer students and parents more information.

FEMA will also have a booth set up to provide assistance to those still needing disaster after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that occurred last November. The home show will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

certificate, said SchmidtHutchins. The reading test is holding this teacher up. HB 24 bill would allow the native Spanish teachers to get their certifications more easily, instead of hiring mainly teachers who speak Spanish as a second language and are able to pass Alaska courses for teaching certificates. She said it’s important to have teachers who not only speak Spanish, but are knowledgeable of the culture.

“What non-native (Spanish) speakers lack is the authenticity of the culture,” Schmidt-Hutchins said.

“I just want to put out my support for HB 24. … I just want you to understand the human side that I’m dealing with as a principal.”

She says it will also benefit high school students who take Spanish classes.

Xh’unei Lance Twitch-

ell, an associate professor of Native languages at University of Southeast, also spoke about the importance of the bill in pursuing the goal of preserving Alaska Native languages.

“The state of Alaska has made significant steps in the past six years … but we are still in a pattern of decline regarding the health and viability of Alaska Native languages,” Twitchell said.

He said the next steps after this bill should be the formation of a college of Alaska Native languages at the University of Alaska and the centralizing of Alaska Native languages by including them in standards for Alaska education.

“What is good for Alaska Native is good for all of Alaskans,” he said, adding that what people do on a daily basis has not shifted to reflect the importance of

protecting Native languages.

“Language health is directly tied to physical health,” he said.

Revitalizing Alaska Native languages throughout the state would improve education success rates in Alaska for Native people, he said.

“We’re building immersion schools programs in Alaska for Alaska Native languages, and a bill such as this, and accompanying ones that would make it easier to open language nests, in particular are really needed right now,” he said in an interview with the Empire after the hearing.

The committee decided to hold the bill because they will have also have public testimony on it at their next hearing on Wednesday, April 3 at 8 a.m.

What Others Say

The left’s wacky college liberalism Last week, the Office of Diversity

and Inclusion at Amherst College posted and emailed to students a “Common Language Guide,” a 36-page document containing dozens of politically correct definitions.

As the Herald’s Sean Philip Cotter reported, the document defined “capitalism” as a system that “leads to exploitative labor practices, which affect marginalized groups disproportionately.”

“White feminism” is “predicated upon the erasure of women of color and the ways in which racism and sexism converge and compound one another.” …

And on and on.

The college has pulled the glossary and Amherst College President Biddy Martin — who claimed she hadn’t seen the document before it was posted and sent out — said in a statement that the guide “takes a very problematic approach.”

This kind of thing happens again and again in colleges and universities but rarely if ever in the other direction. It’s always wacky progressive maneuvers creeping through the campuses that are exposed. And then only when found out.

It would be wise for parents to take that into account as they contemplate where to spend their money on higher education.

For a workable budget, citizens must participate

When Gov. Mike Dunleavy unveiled his proposed budget, it shocked many educators. Since then, the narrative presented by some in the education community is that the governor does not care about education or children. However, from my experience as an educator, I know that this is a false narrative designed to protect the status quo rather than improve educational outcomes.

Throughout my years of teaching, I have witnessed the teachers union and some in administration use fear, manipulation and rhetoric to convince the public that education cuts will devastate schools and programs.

School districts always threaten to increase class sizes, close schools, cut out sports and lay off teachers. They specifically target teachers for the cuts.

The unions and administration team up to make teachers squeal, threaten, gnash their teeth at us and show up for public testimony to manipulate public sentiment. Some educators use every method available to convince you that Alaska’s education system will collapse with education budget reductions. It’s their standard practice and you have seen it throughout the years.

It is pure propaganda. Please don’t fall for it.

To have a rational discussion about education funding in Alaska, it is important to have the facts. Alaska’s teachers are extremely well paid, but scored near or at the bottom in almost every measurable education outcome for students. We have increased the rate of funding for education more

tional outcomes that do not include just spending more money.

The governor knows that despite the doom and gloom scenarios paintlaska oices ed by some education administrators and teachers, classrooms do not have to be negatively impacted by the C arol C arman proposed budget reductions.

Letters to the Editor The gravy train is over My parents came to Alaska in 1948 to teach. They moved to Moose Pass on the Kenai Peninsula in 1967 and taught there until their retirement. From 1967-2018 there was a member of our family teaching on the peninsula, with the exception of three years in the early 1980s. Our family touched the lives of thousands of kids over those years of teaching. Our commitment to teaching is not the exception, but is the rule. Everyday thousands of teachers do their best to inspire students to do their best.

Alaska’s “education governor,” if his budget goes forward, will make the job of teachers more difficult and make teacher recruitment in our state even more difficult than it already is. His justification for these cuts is that the outcomes of Alaska’s schools (eg. test scores) are poor, so why keep funding them at such a high level?

About 80% of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District’s budget is dedicated to salary and benefits of staff. I am sure the percentage is similar in other districts, although schools off the road system face higher costs in other areas (utilities, travel, etc.) that would affect this percentage. If a district is charged with cutting their budget by 25%, as proposed by Gov. Dunleavy, they will have to reduce staffing, cut salaries and benefits, or both. The result will be increased class sizes, more difficult working conditions and likely reduced salary and benefits. There is no way that this will improve the outcomes.

The cuts to our university system, which has already faced steep cuts, will make it extremely difficult to train teachers in state. Alaskans who return to their community to teach are more likely to be committed to stay long term. If a young person must travel out of state to earn a teaching degree there is a good chance they see better opportunities for teaching jobs out of state.

Cuts to early childhood education are perhaps the most shortsighted. Preparing preschool-aged children for school has always been important. By the time a child is 5 years old they should already have a base of language and social development that will enable them to be successful in school. With the decline of the family unit, fewer and fewer kids are showing up for their first day of school with these skills. If the governor is serious about getting children to read then he must ensure full funding for early childhood education.

Many people view athletic and music programs as fluff. The governor himself, when asked about cuts to these programs, said that schools should focus on core subjects rather than extracurricular activities. These

programs give students an incentive to attend school and perform well in core subjects to maintain eligibility. They also offer lifelong skills and experiences that improve the likelihood of success in life. Commitment to a sport teaches work ethic, team commitment and health/wellness concepts that simply can’t be taught in the classroom. Music programs teach all of the above and develop the brain in such a way that math concepts are more easily learned. My daughter is a math whiz in part because of her exposure to music programs at Mt. View Elementary, Kenai Middle School and Kenai Central High School.

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, in preparation for a worst-case scenario, is looking at closing six schools, eliminating sports/activities and raising class sizes. The governor seems to think large cuts to education can be made while improving outcomes. That is simply not true. To add insult on top of injury Gov. Dunleavy intends to take away petroleum-based property taxes from our borough, making education even more difficult to fund.

As Lisa Murkowski stated, “the PFD over everything mentality is a dangerous thing for the State of Alaska.”

How many people will be surprised by the state we are left with if we balance the budget through cuts and provide full dividends with no revenue enhancements?

Those of us who are paying attention will not be surprised. In the words of Clem Tillion, “the gravy train is over.” Oil revenue alone can no longer fund a budget that will ensure a vibrant Alaska.

— Charlie Stephens, Kenai

Take care of our citizens We’ve lived in Alaska for 50 years and have never seen anything like this.

For the first time, we attended a meeting with the governor and had to have a security check and had no opportunity to have an open dialogue with our public officials — and had screened questions by the Americans for Prosperity (a group funded by the Koch brothers worth $99 billion).

In spite of lavish promises of giant PFDs, they didn’t tell us that they would gut our world-class university system, destroy K-12 education, health care for many, cut the ferry system in Southeast, and destroy our fisheries system by taking money from borough governments to fund their naked handout to the greedy who take their personal largess more important than making our state a better place to live.

We believe our government has a fiduciary respon-

sibility to take care of citizens and fulfill constitutional charges. We feel this governor has broken promises and is waging a fundamental attack on what’s made our state great and unique. Using terms like “predatory taxes” and “government has its hands in your pocket” does not lead to a useful dialogue about important state services.

— Bud and Sammy Crawford, Kenai

Don’t be a conservative in name only THINK YOU ARE A CONSERVATIVE? Maybe you vote, maybe not. Maybe you voted for President Donald Trump, Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Mayor Charlie Pierce, but, what are you doing now?

Do you call Sen. Lisa Murkowski before she makes one of her liberal Senate votes? Do you encourage your congressional delegation to back President Trump‘s efforts to drain the swamp? Do you contact state legislators and tell them to support Gov. Dunleavy’s budget cutting? Do you testify in person or by email on issues before the borough assembly? If you do not, you are part of the reason liberals are winning the war.

Liberals are doing all they can to increase their power base, relieve taxpayers of their hard-earned money and increase regressive regulations. In Alaska, liberals want to take away the Permanent Fund Dividend, and they just might get away with it.

Go to a borough assembly or school board meeting and 99% of those who testify want more of your money.

Right now, budget talks and union contracts are being discussed. The liberals are out in force with teary-eyed school kids and tales of woe.

Contact information for our congressional delegation, the Legislature, borough assembly and school board is readily available online or in the phone book.

If you want to make a real conservative difference … get involved … be effective and participate.

— Mike McBride, North Kenai

Protect the PFD We must protect the Permanent Fund Dividend for generations to come. Alaskans’ PFDs should be paid in full using the law that has worked for decades, and the PFD should be protected in the Constitution, now and for the future. There should be no change to the PFD without a vote of the people.

Nation/World Biden team blasts ‘trolls’ amid scrutiny

By THOMAS BEAUMONT and STEPHEN BRAUN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Aides to Joe Biden struck a more aggressive tone on Monday as the former vice president faced scrutiny over his past behavior toward women.

In a statement, Biden spokesman Bill Russo blasted “right wing trolls” from “the dark recesses of the internet” for conflating images of Biden embracing acquaintances, colleagues and friends in his official capacity during swearingin ceremonies with uninvited touching.

The move came on a day in which a second woman said Biden had acted inappropriately, touching her face with both hands and rubbing noses with her in 2009. The allegation by Amy Lappos, a former aide to Democratic Rep. Jim Hines of Connecticut, followed a magazine essay by former Nevada politician Lucy Flores, who wrote that Biden kissed her on the back of the head in 2014.

The developments underscored the challenge facing Biden should he

decide to seek the White House. Following historic wins in the 2018 midterms, Democratic politics is dominated by energy from women. The allegations could leave the 76-year-old Biden, long known for his affectionate mannerisms, appearing out of touch with the party as the Democratic presidential primary begins.

Lappos told The Associated Press that she and other Himes aides were helping out at a fundraiser in a private home in Hartford, Connecticut, in October 2009 when Biden entered the kitchen to thank the group for pitching in.

“After he finished speaking, he stopped to talk to us about how important a congressional staff is, which I thought was awesome,” Lappos said.

She said she was stunned as Biden moved toward her.

“He wrapped both his hands around my face and pulled me in,” said Lappos, who is now 43. “I thought, ‘Oh, God, he’s going to kiss me.’ Instead, he rubbed noses with me.”

Biden said nothing, she said, then moved off. She said the experience left her

feeling “weird and uncomfortable” and was “absolutely disrespectful of my personal boundaries.”

The Hartford Courant first reported Lappos’ assertion.

Russo didn’t directly respond to Lappos, instead referring to a Sunday statement in which Biden said he doesn’t believe he has acted inappropriately during his long public life. The former vice president said in that statement: “We have arrived at an important time when women feel they can and should relate their experiences, and men should

pay attention. And I will.”

Biden hasn’t made a final decision on whether to run for the White House.

But aides who weren’t authorized to discuss internal conversations and spoke on condition of anonymity said there were no signs that his team was slowing its preparations for a campaign.

Asked by the AP about the accusations against Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “I don’t think that this disqualifies him from running for president, not at all.” She declined to elaborate.

Threat to close border stirs fears of economic harm

By CEDAR ATTANASIO Associated Press

EL PASO, Texas — President Donald Trump’s threat to shut down the southern border raised fears Monday of dire economic consequences in the U.S. and an upheaval of daily life in a stretch of the country that relies on the international flow of not just goods and services but also students, families and workers.

Politicians, business leaders and economists warned that such a move would block incoming shipments of fruits and vegetables, TVs, medical devices and other products and cut off people who commute to their jobs or school or come across to go shopping.

“Let’s hope the threat is nothing but a bad April Fools’ joke,” said economist Dan Griswold at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Virginia. He said Trump’s threat would be the “height of folly,” noting that an average of 15,000 trucks and $1.6 billion in goods cross the border every day.

crippling disruptions of their supply chains, American families would see prices spike for food and cars, and U.S. exporters would be cut off from their third-largest market,” he said.

Trump brought up the possibility of closing ports of entry along the southern border Friday and revisited it in tweets over the weekend because of a surge of Central Americans migrants who are seeking asylum.

Trump administration officials have said the influx is straining the immigration system to the breaking point.

Elected leaders from border communities stretching

from San Diego to cities across Texas warned that havoc would ensue on both sides of the international boundary if the ports were closed. They were joined by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which said such a step would inflict “severe economic harm.”

In California’s Imperial Valley, across from Mexicali, Mexico, farmers rely on workers who come across every day from Mexico to harvest fields of lettuce, carrots, onions and other winter vegetables. Shopping mall parking lots in the region are filled with cars with Mexican plates.

More than 60 percent of all Mexican winter produce consumed in the U.S. crosses into the country at Nogales, Arizona. The winter produce season is especially heavy right now, with the import of Mexican-grown watermelons, grapes and squash, said Lance Jungmeyer, president of the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas.

He said 11,000 to 12,000 commercial trucks cross the border at Nogales daily, laden with about 50 million pounds of produce such as eggplants, tomatoes, bell peppers, lettuce, cucumbers and berries.

He said a closing of the border would lead to immediate layoffs and result in shortages and price increases at grocery stores and restaurants.

“If this happens — and I certainly hope it doesn’t — I’d hate to go into a grocery store four or five days later and see what it looks like,” Jungmeyer said.

Laredo Mayor Pete Saenz, chairman of the Texas Border Coalition, said a closure would be catastrophic.

UK Parliament rejects alternatives to May’s Brexit deal

By JILL LAWLESS and DANICA KIRKA Associated Press

LONDON — Britain’s Parliament has spoken — and it has said no, again.

Lawmakers seeking a way out of the country’s Brexit morass on Monday rejected four alternatives to the government’s unpopular European Union divorce deal that would have softened or even halted Britain’s departure.

With just 12 days until the U.K. must come up with a new plan or crash out of the bloc in chaos, the House of Commons threw out four options de-

signed to replace Prime Minister Theresa May’s thrice-rejected Brexit deal — though in some cases by a whisker.

The result leaves May’s Conservative government facing difficult and risky choices. It can gamble on a fourth attempt to push May’s unloved deal through Parliament, let Britain tumble out of the bloc without a deal, or roll the dice by seeking a snap election to shake up Parliament.

Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay said the government would continue to seek support for a “credible” plan for leaving the EU.

Around the World

“This House has continuously rejected leaving without a deal just as it has rejected not leaving at all,” he told lawmakers in the House of Commons after the votes. “Therefore the only option is to find a way through which allows the U.K. to leave with a deal.”

May has summoned her Cabinet for a marathon meeting Tuesday to thrash out the options. The prime minister, who is renowned for her dogged determination, could try to bring her Brexit agreement back for a fourth time later this week.

Monday’s votes revealed a preference among lawmakers for a softer form of Brexit — but not a majority to make it happen.

The narrowest defeat — 276 votes to 273 — was for a plan to keep Britain in a customs union with the EU, guaranteeing smooth and tariff-free trade in goods.

A motion that went further, calling for Britain to stay in the EU’s borderless single market for both goods and services, was defeated 282261.

A third proposal calling for any Brexit deal Britain strikes with the EU to be put to a public referendum was defeated 292-280.

The fourth, which would let Britain cancel Brexit if it came within two days of crashing out of the bloc without a deal, fell by a wider margin, 292-191.

May had already ruled out all the ideas under consideration. But the divorce deal she negotiated with the EU has been rejected

by Parliament three times, leaving Britain facing a nodeal Brexit that could cause turmoil for people and businesses on both sides of the Channel.

Conservative lawmaker Nick Boles, architect of the single-market option, acknowledged he had failed in his attempt to break the deadlock.

“I have failed chiefly because my party refuses to compromise,” Boles added, announcing that he was quitting the Conservatives to sit as an independent in Parliament.

The April 12 deadline, imposed by the EU, gives Britain’s politicians less than two weeks to bridge the hostile divide that separates those in her government who want to sever links with the EU and those who want to keep the ties that have bound Britain to the bloc for almost 50 years.

ISTANBUL — Turkey’s opposition looked poised to win control of the country’s two biggest cities Monday as it dealt President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s conservative party one of its most serious electoral setbacks in years. The opposition won Ankara, a ruling party stronghold for decades, and was leading a tight race for mayor in Istanbul, according to unofficial figures Monday.

The leader who has dominated Turkish politics for 16 years declared victory despite the opposition gains.

Sunday’s local elections were widely seen as a gauge of support for Erdogan as the nation of 81 million faces a daunting economic recession. They were also a first test for Erdogan — who has been accused of increasingly authoritarian tendencies — since he got widely expanded presidential powers last year.

If confirmed, the swings in Ankara and Istanbul could be excruciating for the politician who campaigned hard to retain hold of them. The opposition also retained its hold over Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city.

Although Erdogan was not running for office Sunday, he became the face of the campaign, rallying tirelessly for months across Turkey, using hostile rhetoric against opposition parties and portraying the vote as a matter of national survival.

The decline in urban support for his conservative, religious-based party came despite the fact that Erdogan wields tight control over the media, which hardly covered the opposition candidates’ campaigns.

Behlul Ozkan, an associate professor at Marmara University, said Erdogan’s loss of ground in Ankara and Istanbul indicated that his socially conservative and construction-driven policies no longer resonated in Turkey’s cities.

“Political Islam’s quarter-century old hegemony in Turkey’s two largest cities is over,” he said. “The basic problem is that Erdogan is not able to get votes from middle-income earners, who believe that the economy, education and urban administration are not run well.”

More than 57 million voters were eligible to choose leaders for 30 major cities, 51 provincial capitals and 922 districts in Turkey, as well as thousands of local positions. The election was marred by sporadic violence, with five dead and scores injured across Turkey.

Erdogan’s party and its nationalist allies garnered some 52% of the vote overall but the opposition made momentous inroads.

A strategic decision by a pro-Kurdish party to sit out critical races in major cities contributed to the opposition’s gains. The opposition also increased its support along the Mediterranean, taking the city of Adana from the nationalists and the resort destination of Antalya from the ruling party.

Erdogan acknowledged setbacks in a speech to his supporters, saying his party would work to understand what had gone wrong and fix the problem.

Unofficial results reported by the state-run Anadolu news agency after all votes were counted showed a razor-thin win for the opposition in the race for mayor of Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city and commercial hub.

The opposition vote was at 48.8% support to the ruling party’s 48.5% support.

Ekrem Imamoglu, the opposition candidate in an alliance led by the secular Republican People’s Party, or CHP, declared that he won Istanbul but his rival, former Prime Minister Binali Yildirim of the ruling party, said it was still too early to call.

Yildirim accepted that his rival was leading but said his party would file an objection, suggesting a recount of the 319,500 votes declared void in Istanbul.

Both Ankara and Istanbul have been held by Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party, the AKP, and its Islamic-oriented predecessor for 25 years. Erdogan’s own ascent to power began as Istanbul mayor in 1994.

Unofficial results showed Mansur Yavas, the candidate of the CHP-led alliance, winning the top post in Ankara with 50.9% support. The AKP still holds a majority of Ankara’s 25 districts. The government had accused Yavas of forgery and tax evasion, which he called slanderous.

The AKP’s candidate for Ankara mayor, Mehmet Ozhaseki, won 47.1% support and his party said it would challenge the results.

Mozambique races to contain 1,000 cholera cases BEIRA, Mozambique — Mozambican and international health workers raced Monday to contain a cholera outbreak in the cyclone-hit city of Beira and surrounding areas, where the number of cases has jumped to more than 1,000.

One person has died of cholera, while 97 patients remain in treatment centers, with the others released, Mozambique’s health director Ussein Isse announced.

The new figures are an indication that cholera is spreading but is being brought under control, health workers say.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said there is also a high risk of the spread of infectious diseases including those caused by insects like mosquitoes, with 276 malaria cases also reported in cyclone-affected areas,.

The overall cyclone death toll in Mozambique has risen to 518. With 259 deaths in Zimbabwe and 56 in Malawi, the three-nation death toll from Cyclone Idai now stands at more than 830. Authorities warn the tolls are preliminary as receding flood waters will expose more bodies.

Dujarric said more than 140,000 people in Mozambique are sheltering in 161 sites, including schools and community centers.

He said 11 emergency treatment centers for cholera victims have been established in Beira and other locations and nine are operational.

Mozambican workers have restored clean tap water to parts of Beira, a city of 500,000, although large areas of the urban center still don’t have access to sanitary water, David Wightwick, the World Health Organization’s team leader in Beira, told The Associated Press while visiting a water treatment center.

Maple Leafs clinch spot in playoffs The Associated Press

UNIONDALE, N.Y. — John Tavares scored against his former team and the Toronto Maple Leafs clinched a playoff berth with a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Monday night.

Calle Rosen also had a goal for Toronto, which needed just one point to secure its postseason spot and won for the fourth time in 11 games (4-5-2). Frederik Andersen stopped 28 shots.

Tavares, held without a point while the Maple Leafs lost by a combined 10-1 margin in his first two games against the Islanders since leaving last summer to sign with his hometown team, broke through off a pass from Mitch Marner to make it 2-0 at 3:50 of the third period. Tavares added to his career best with his 46th goal and set a career high with his 87th point.

PANTHERS 5, CAPITALS 3 SUNRISE, Fla. — Vincent Trocheck scored two goals, including his 100th in the NHL, and Florida withstood a late surge to beat Washington.

Troy Brouwer, Jonathan Huberdeau and Frank Vatrano also scored

for the Panthers, and Aleksander Barkov had three assists. Barkov has 94 points this season, tying Pavel Bure for the franchise record set in 199900.

Roberto Luongo made 27 saves as the Panthers won their third straight game.

BLUES 3, AVALANCHE 2, SO ST. LOUIS — Ryan O’Reilly scored the only goal in a shootout and St. Louis slowed Colorado’s playoff push.

Trying to hold onto the final postseason spot in the Western Conference, the Avalanche had won four straight and were 6-0-1 in their previous seven games. They earned one point to move two ahead of Arizona for the second wild card in the West.

Both teams have three games remaining.

Colorado is three points behind Dallas for the top wild card. By getting to 86 points, the Avalanche eliminated Edmonton from playoff contention.

JETS 4, BLACKHAWKS 3, OT CHICAGO — Kevin Hayes scored at 3:38 of overtime and Winnipeg beat Chicago to snap a three-game slide and move into sole possession of first place in the Central Division.

Greer, Kornfield win Sea to Ski

Hayes cut to the net off the right side, got past Dylan Strome and tucked a shot past goalie Corey Crawford. The playoff-bound Jets improved to 96 points, two ahead of St. Louis and Nashville atop the crowded division race.

Strome scored his second goal of the game with 2:20 left in the third period to tie it at 3. By earning a point, Chicago avoided being eliminated from playoff contention for the second straight season — for now.

Jack Roslovic scored two goals to end a 22-game drought, and Adam Lowry also had a goal for the Jets.

Connor Hellebuyck made 25 saves.

LIGHTNING 5, SENATORS 2 OTTAWA, Ontario — Yanni Gourde had two goals and an assist, and Tampa Bay became the third team in NHL history to win 60 games in a season with a victory over Ottawa.

Mikhail Sergachev, Brayden Point and Steven Stamkos also scored for the Lightning (60-15-4). Nikita Kucherov had two assists and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 22 saves.

The other teams to win at least 60 regular-season games were the 197677 Montreal Canadiens (60-8-12) and the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings (6213-7).

Calipari gets new contract LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky has agreed to a long-term contract with coach John Calipari that will allow him to finish his career with the Wildcats.

Calipari’s current deal was amended in March 2017 to run through the 2023-24 season, with a base annual salary of $8 million plus incentives. Men’s basketball spokesman Eric Lindsey confirmed Monday via text to The Associated Press that the school reached a new deal with the Hall of Fame coach but did not provide details.

The 60-year-old Calipari tweeted last month that his “plan and desire” was to retire at Kentucky.

I n T he P its J enna F ryer end at Bristol Motor Speedway.

The talk was so loud last week — with the assumption that Harvick is in line to replace Waltrip in the booth — that both the 2014 champ and his manager both insisted Harvick will still drive for Stewart-Haas Racing next season.

Fox Sports said no announcement regarding its talent was currently scheduled.

Waltrip is one of NASCAR’s storied characters, one of the first to build a brand around his supersized personality, and he parlayed it into a lifetime as one of the sport’s strongest ambassadors. But active as he is on social media, there is no way he has missed the overwhelming criticism directed his way over the past several days in particular.

He seemed a bit muted Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway, and seemed slow to utter his “Boogity! Boogity! Boogity! Let’s go racing, boys!” call to open the race.

While Waltrip and Joy have been picked apart by those unhappy with the broadcast, Gordon has seemed trapped since his 2016 debut. The booth is not big enough for the two veteran egos and Gordon, the Hall of

Famer who was supposed to be NASCAR’s version of the athlete-turned-broadcaster that Tony Romo has become for CBS Sports.

Still trying to shoehorn his way in while being respectful to his elders, Gordon has had to learn to insert his opinion and, well, correct Joy and Waltrip. Dale Earnhardt Jr., meanwhile, was an instant hit with his exclamations of “Slidejob!” for rival NBC Sports.

Fox Sports, like everything else in NASCAR, needs a change and the first will likely be the 70-year-old Waltrip making the biggest call of his 19-season TV career — that it is time to hit the road. He made his debut in 1975 and has been part of NASCAR’s road show ever since. He has seen it all, from the lean early days to NASCAR’s popularity boom to its current fight to stay relevant.

Retirement has never been his strong suit, though, and Waltrip hung around as a driver when his best days were behind him. He won 84 races and three Cup titles, but was simply turning laps at the end of his career. It was more of a celebrity-style goodbye tour anyway: The Fox deal was waiting for him and he went from the race car to the booth without a break.

That was 2001, and the modern fan NASCAR is chasing to watch on TV or on their devices has little connection to a driver who made his last Cup start when

today’s budding stars like William Byron were still toddlers.

Fox Sports has groomed drivers like Harvick to become broadcasters and has used Bobby Labonte, Regan Smith and new hire Jamie McMurray heavily on race day.

The network grabbed analyst Ricky Craven and newshound Bob Pockrass when ESPN pulled out of NASCAR this season, and strengthened its commitment to the sport by investing in a state-of-the art virtual studio set in Charlotte.

Fox’s resources are deep, the pit reporting team is knowledgeable and Larry McReynolds has found a new role since Gordon replaced him in the booth.

Fox Sports should not wait to address its booth until Harvick, who is under contract next season, or crew chief Chad Knaus or whomever is ready. The threeman booth has become passe and there are better ways to utilize the talent Fox Sports already has to freshen up the broadcast.

The sooner Fox Sports and Waltrip acknowledge change is coming, the better it will be for the network and its star broadcaster. Fox can begin experimenting on how to approach next season and Waltrip can make one more farewell tour that honors his lifetime commitment and contributions to NASCAR. He can look forward to retirement as a NASCAR dignitary.

He can also skip the Monday morning reviews.

NEW YORK — Domingo German overcame control problems on a chilly night to win for the first time since last June, Gary Sanchez and Brett Gardner homered and the banged-up New York Yankees beat the punchless Detroit Tigers 3-1 Monday.

Aaron Judge made a sprawling, backhand catch on Niko Goodrum’s hardhit liner after Adam Ottavino walked the first two batters in the eighth inning, a drive that would have tied the score if it had gotten by the right fielder.

Khris Davis hit his fifth home run over Oakland’s first seven games, Ramon Laureano connected and also saved a run with a perfect throw home from center field, and the Athletics scored their first five runs via homer to beat struggling Boston.

Baylor, Notre Dame reach Final Four

By The Associated Press

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Maybe someone at the Final Four will actually give Baylor a game.

Four rounds into the NCAA Tournament, and the Bears have barely faced any resistance.

Baylor cruised to its first Final Four since 2012 with its latest bracket blowout, this one an 85-53 rout of Iowa on Monday night in the Greensboro Regional final.

“We’re getting up,” forward Lauren Cox said, “and we’re not letting people get back in the game.”

Cox had 22 points and 11 rebounds,

Didi Richards added 16 points and 10 rebounds and Chloe Jackson had 14 points.

The No. 1 overall-seeded Bears (35-1) won their 27th straight game by shooting 53%, clamping down on AllAmerican Megan Gustafson and her supporting cast and holding the nation’s best shooting team to a seasonworst 32%.

“We don’t know that we’re going to score this many points every night,” Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. “What we do know is, we’re going to defend you. ... That’s the way I was taught.

That’s the way I believe. ... Nobody

likes to be guarded for 40 minutes. It’s work. It’s hard.”

Notre Dame 84, Stanford 68 CHICAGO — Trailing by seven after missing too many shots in the first half, Notre Dame saw no reason to be rattled.

The Fighting Irish figured they had only themselves to blame, that they would get on a roll and it just might carry them all the way back to the Final Four.

Jackie Young scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and defending national champion Notre Dame shook off a slow start to beat Stanford 84-68 in the Chicago Region final on Monday night.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, April 2, the 92nd day of 2019. There are 273 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On April 2, 2005, Pope John Paul II died in his Vatican apartment at age 84.

On this date: In 1792, Congress passed the Coinage Act, which authorized establishment of the U.S. Mint.

In 1863, during the Civil War, the Richmond Bread Riot erupted in the Confederate capital as a mob outraged over food shortages and rising prices attacked and looted stores.

In 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis and most of his Cabinet fled the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, because of advancing Union forces.

In 1912, the just-completed RMS Titanic left Belfast to begin its sea trials eight days before the start of its ill-fated maiden voyage.

In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany, saying, “The world must be made safe for democracy.” (Congress declared war four days later.)

In 1956, the soap operas “As the World Turns” and “The Edge of Night” premiered on CBS-TV. In 1958, the term “beatnik” was coined by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen to refer to members of the pre-hippie counterculture; the term was inspired by the “Beat Generation” and by the Soviet launch of its second Sputnik spacecraft.

In 1968, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” the groundbreaking sciencefiction film epic produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood, had its world premiere in Washington, D.C. In 1982, several thousand troops from Argentina seized the disputed Falkland Islands, located in the south Atlantic, from Britain.

(Britain seized the islands back the following June.)

In 1986, four American passengers, including an 8-month-old girl, her mother and grandmother, were killed when a terrorist bomb exploded aboard a TWA jetliner en route from Rome to Athens, Greece.

In 1992, mob boss John Gotti was convicted in New York of murder and racketeering; he was later sentenced to life, and died in prison.

In 2003, during the Iraq War, American forces fought their way to within sight of the Baghdad skyline.

Ten years ago: Leaders of the world’s rich and major developing countries met at an emergency G-20 economic summit in London; afterward, President Barack Obama hailed agreements they had reached as a “turning point in our pursuit of global economic recovery,” but cautioned, “there are no guarantees.” The House and Senate passed companion budget plans, giving President Obama and his allies on Capitol Hill a key victory. A 19-count federal racketeering indictment was returned against former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (blah-GOY’-uh-vich); the ousted Democrat denied doing anything illegal.

Five years ago: The Supreme Court’s conservative majority voted 5-4 to free wealthy individuals to donate to as many political candidates and campaigns as they wanted, further loosening the reins on giving by big contributors. At Fort Hood in Texas, three soldiers were killed and 16 others were wounded in a shooting rampage by another soldier, Army Spc. Ivan A. Lopez, who then killed himself.

One year ago: Anti-apartheid activist Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, who’d been married for nearly 38 years to Nelson Mandela, died in a Johannesburg hospital at the age of 81. Thousands of Oklahoma teachers began two weeks of walkouts and descended on the state Capitol to demand more education funding. Thousands of Kentucky teachers marched to the state Capitol to protest changes to their pension system; some districts that were not on spring break had to cancel classes. China raised import duties on $3 billion in U.S. products in an escalating dispute over trade and industrial policy. Ethan Couch, who as a 16-year-old driver drunkenly struck and killed four pedestrians but dodged prison after suggesting at his trial that his irresponsibility was a result of an entitled upbringing, went free after serving almost two years in a Texas jail on a probation violation.

Villanova beat Michigan 79-62 to capture its second NCAA college basketball championship in three years.

Mom objects to unsolicited advice about breastfeeding that requested in lieu of flowers to please donate to two specific noncontroversial charities.

I’m sitting here surrounded by NINE plants and bouquets of flowers! I’m so upset each time another one is delivered. My house looks like a funeral parlor. I Abigail Van Buren don’t have the time to take them to a hospital, so I’m tossing them.

I would like to help cure the cancer that claimed my dad. Each plant reminds me of a waste of money.

Please remind people to respect the wishes of the family.

-- GRIEVING DAUGHTER IN WISCONSIN DEAR DAUGHTER: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your father.

Your desire to contribute to cancer research is understandable considering the circumstances. It’s possible that friends and acquaintances who saw his obituary didn’t read carefully through it and sent the offerings on impulse. Or perhaps they

did both. But your comments have merit, which is why I’m printing them.

DEAR ABBY: Why is love such a hard thing to find? I am a boy who often feels alone. I have never experienced true love, even though I often meet girls I’d like to be with. What holds me back is the fear of approaching and talking to them.

My fear puts me in despair, and I feel lonely. What would you suggest to overcome these feelings so I can find happiness?

-- OUTSIDER IN HAWAII DEAR OUTSIDER: True love is usually built on friendship. Friendships are generally based on common interests. What are the things you are interested in? You call yourself a “boy,” so I assume you are still in school. Consider joining clubs and activities that are offered there, such as sports, drama or music. Churches sponsor activities for youth, as well. Sign up for them and you will increase your chances of making friends.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Hints from Heloise

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, April 2, 2019: This year, you head in a new direction, which, to some people, might seem out of character. You express your more secure, risk-taking personality.

Be careful with AQUARIUS’ advice, especially about love.

Real wealth Dear Heloise: When I’d get a bonus at work, sometimes I wouldn’t tell my husband. I ended up feeling guilty, so my hint is to come clean.

TELL THE SPOUSE EVERYTHING, and share the wealth. My marriage is better for this.

-- Susan R., Fort Wayne, Ind. Susan, I completely agree with your new M.O. Honesty is always the best policy. And don’t worry: If you’re longing for a great new outfit, pedicure or designer bag, let him know, make sure it fits in the budget and allow him that new fishing reel or computer game he wants.

-- Heloise LEND AND LET GO Dear Heloise: My father always said, “Don’t lend money that you can’t do without.” That can apply to anything you lend.

If you lend something to a neighbor, friend or relative and that person doesn’t return it, you can “let it go” rather than harbor feelings of resentment, anger, a grudge or anything that will hinder your relationship with him or her.

-- Christina Mayo, Athens, Ohio GARAGES ARE FOR CARS Dear Heloise: Regarding removing valuables (including the keys) from your car before 9 p.m. to help keep it safe: My minister, in preaching on keeping your life uncluttered materially, reminded the congregation that garages were made to keep cars in!

-- Marilyn in California RIP AND ROLL Dear Heloise: My vacuum roller brush gets all kinds of hair, yarn, thread, etc., wrapped tightly around it. I figured out that the perfect little tool to remove the debris is a seam ripper.

DEAR ABBY: I am a new mother to a perfect baby boy. Everywhere I go -- the grocery store, my front yard, my daughter’s school -- people ask, “You are breastfeeding, right?”

Why should it matter to strangers whether or not I’m breastfeeding my baby? It has no effect on them whatsoever. It’s a personal decision. What’s worse is when I have formula in my shopping cart and someone stops to lecture me about breastfeeding.

People need to stop shaming mothers for using formula and quit asking questions that are none of their business. It’s a personal choice and not up for discussion. As long as a mother is feeding her baby, she’s doing a great job.

-- MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS DEAR MYOB: As well-meaning as these individuals may be, I agree it is none of their beeswax how you nourish your baby. Why not give them tit for tat? Tell them you plan to raise your baby without their input and you don’t appreciate their comments. Then walk on and continue your shopping.

California science exhibit explains the dog-human friendship begin revealing the conclusions Saturday with an ambitious, if somewhat lighthearted, new exhibition called “Dogs! A Science Tail.”

Meet Bandit Bandit is a cutie pie. Shy at first with strangers but he wants to have a human friend. He LOVES other cats and will need a kitty friend in his new home. He loves to be pet and sit or lay beside you for affection. He doesn’t seem to do well with dogs. He will like a yard to play in with his family when summer comes.

It’s one of the ways dogs can evaluate how safe the surroundings are. It’s also how they manage to mark

Meet Annabelle Annabelle is the sweetest little girl ever. She is so easy and quiet and gentle. Annabelle once lived outside and doesn’t want to do that again, but she will want to go outside to play with her kitty friends when spring comes.

Meet Eclipse Eclipse is a beautiful ebony girl with a fluffy coat and a very impressive ruff. She is quite slim, maybe 4 or 5 years old and a super lovebug. She is okay with other cats and dogs existing in the house. But she prefers to ignore them and focus all her attention on her humans that she loves beyond all else.

If you’re looking for affection and devotion, Eclipse is the girl for you!
