In the news Alaska students disciplined for school bathroom incident NORTH POLE (AP) — An Alaska school district has expelled a girl after she kicked a boy in the groin when he tried to enter the girls’ restroom at a high school, the girl’s family said. A group of North Pole High School boys tried to enter the bathroom to take a photo as a “form of protest,” Fairbanks North Star Borough School District Superintendent Karen Gaborik said in a statement Monday. Some boys were upset after a transgender student had taken a selfie inside the boys’ restroom earlier this month and shared the photo on social media, Gaborik said. Only one boy made it past the door frame when the girl exiting the restroom encountered the group on April 4. “The female student kicked the first male student in the groin,” Gaborik said. “The male students turned around and left the area.” The district’s Title IX investigator examined the confrontation, finding no evidence that the boys were threatening or using force, Gaborik said. The federal Title IX law protects against gender discrimination in education. “Based on the results of the investigation, school administration issued discipline on April 8 to both the female student and to seven male students involved in the incident,” Gaborik said. “The male students were disciplined for attempting to enter the restroom.” The district declined to say how the students were disciplined, citing student confidentiality protections. The district did not name the students involved. The girl’s family told the Anchorage Daily News that she was expelled, but they are appealing the expulsion. They declined to comment further. The high school continues to have conversations among students about transgender students and the use of restrooms, Gaborik said “In regards to transgender students, when a student identifies as transgender in our district, the student (and often the family) work with school counselors and administration to determine how to best meet that student’s educational needs,” Gaborik said. “The conversation includes use of restrooms.”

Biking in the spotlight By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

A local biking advocacy group gave a presentation a the Joint Kenai/Soldotna Chamber of Commerce Luncheon on Wednesday to show how they have been working to make the central peninsula more bike-friendly. Kaitlin Vadla of Biking in Kenai and Soldotna (BiKS) showcased to chamber members BiKS accomplishments as well as the big dreams her organization has for the future of biking in the Kenai-Soldotna area. “How do we make Kenai and Soldotna the best places to live, work and play?” Vadla asked at the start of the presentation. She then made the case that bicycles are an integral part of the answer. Over the last year, BiKS has worked with local schools, governments and

This week, Alaska’s sole major pollster released the results of a statewide poll, showing a tight split between supporters and critics of the governor’s proposed budget. Ivan Moore, who runs Alaska Survey Research, polled 739 registered voters across the state and found that 49 percent of them favored Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s budget and 46 percent opposed it, accord-

Assembly approves additional district funding By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting was dominated by education funding Tuesday night, with the assembly passing

an ordinance to increase fiscal year 2019 funds to the district and a resolution to set the base level of funding for the FY20 school district budget. The assembly approved a resolution to increase the

district’s FY19 budget by $2,423,955 in an effort to retain some of the district’s non-tenured teachers. After the joint assembly and school board meeting on March 5, Superintendent Sean Dusek submitted a let-

ter to the assembly asking to fund the school district for 2019 to the maximum amount allowable at this time, $2,423,955. The resolution passed after a five to four “yes” vote, with Assembly members

Dale Bagley, Kelly Cooper, Willy Dunne, Brent Hibbert and Hal Smalley voting “yes,” and approved the supplemental funding, allowing the district to retain non-tenured staff and proSee FUND, page A3

Community speaks out on Pebble project EIS By Megan Pacer Homer News

People from the Homer community and beyond flocked to Homer High School last Thursday to testify on the proposed Pebble Mine project, as well as the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) put forward by the Army Corps of Engineers, which is tasked with evaluating a permit application from Pebble Limited Partnership. Dozens of people filed into the stands in the Alice Witte Gymnasium to give their comments at the public hearing hosted by the corps. Others sat down at tables near the back of the room to submit their comments electronically. The Army Corps of Engineers has authority over: • The discharge of fill material for construction of the road system and the proposed port

Gov appointees confirmed By Alex McCarthy Juneau Empire

The most talked-about vote of the week in the Alaska Legislature began with talk of “a witch hunt” and ended with a “yippee-kiyay.” Legislators gathered in a joint session of the House and Senate on Wednesday to either confirm or deny Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s choices for commissioners of the major state departments. All week, the most anticipated debate was about Amanda Price, the governor’s pick for Department of Public Safety commissioner. The Legislature voted to confirm Price — and the rest of Dunleavy’s appointees

— but not without heated debate. Price has been the target of criticism for a large

Senators propose way for ferries to run this winter By Alex McCarthy Juneau Empire

dams. All of those operations would have to be approved through permits by different state agencies. While much of the testimony presented at the hearing was either vague or not related to the corps’ EIS, some who gave public comments did address the document, saying it was lacking and incomplete. Commenters said the document downplays the consequences of mine activity to the ecology of the area, and several said they were disappointed that it did not take a deeper look at the social and economic impacts to the Bristol Bay area. Many who testified urged the corps to scrap the Draft EIS and start it over, saying that would be the only way for them to get it right. Part way through the meeting, community members went outside the school to join a rally organized by

Users of the Alaska Marine Highway System have likely had Oct. 1 circled on their calendars. In Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s budget proposal, the ferry system would stop running Oct. 1 and stay out of service until the following June. If a group of senators get their way, the ferries will be able to stay on the water during that time, albeit with reduced service. The Senate Finance Transportation Subcommittee approved a budget proposal Wednesday morning that includes

funding for a reduced ferry service from October to June. Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka and chair of the committee, has been particularly vocal this session about preserving the ferry system and spoke at length at Wednesday’s meeting. “Surely, a reduced service is better than no service,” Stedman said. While the governor proposes cutting about $98 million from the AMHS budget, the Senate Transportation Committee’s proposed budget would cut about $44 million, according to materials from Wednesday’s meeting. The committee’s proposal See FERRY, page A2

to the option the corps has, after the final EIS, to deny the Pebble Mine permit application. The other option would be to approve the application, with or without special conditions attached to it. Others at the meeting urged the corps to extend the public comment period for the draft document, saying the deadline of May 30 is not enough time. During an interview before the public hearing, Sheila Newman, deputy chief of the corps’ Regulatory Division, said a decision of whether or not to extend the deadline for a comment period is not typically made before two thirds of the way through the current comment period. That means the corps hasn’t reached that point yet. Public comment periods are

required to be at least 45 days. The current comment period has been extended to 90 days. “The public can expect a decision on that toward the end of April, more like at day 60 of 90-day comment period,” Newman said. “I can tell you that we’ve had requests for extension, (and) we’ve had requests to not extend from a variety of audiences.” Newman said a team of about five people from the corps, as well as a third-party contractor with a group of about 20-30 people, are responsible for looking at and analyzing public comments on the EIS. “We gather all the comments first, and we review all of them, and put them in categories for resource concerns,” she said. “Then we develop

what’s called statements of concerns, based on those comments, and we respond to those statements of concern in the final EIS.” She emphasized that pubic hearings are not the only way for people to submit comments on the document. People can send public comments by emailing them to drafteis@comments.pebbleprojecteis.com or mailing them to: Program Manager US Army Corps of Engineers 645 G St. Suite 100-921 Anchorage, AK 99501 To download and read the Draft EIS, visit www.pebbleprojecteis.com.

think the budget will harm the state’s economy and result in less financial security, and 58 percent of them think the budget will result in a loss of jobs. The question posed to respondents focused on the state’s fiscal struggles in recent years and how the previous administration pulled from savings and reduced Permanent Fund Dividends to pay for government. It did not mention cuts to specific state services and the impacts those could have. “This year, Governor Dunleavy has proposed a

budget that closes the gap by cutting state expenditures by 1.6 billion dollars, bringing spending down to match anticipated revenue without any draw on savings, without any new or increased taxes, and including paying a full dividend,” the question went on to read before asking if respondents support or oppose the budget proposal. Forty-one percent of respondents were from Anchorage, 15 percent were from the Mat-Su Valley, 12 percent were from Fairbanks, 9 percent were from the Kenai Peninsula

and 5 percent were from Juneau. The other 19 percent came from elsewhere in the state. Forty-five percent of respondents stated they did not have a party affiliation, while 29 percent were Republicans, 16 percent were Democrats and 10 percent were “other party.” The most represented demographic was those 55 and above (37 percent of respondents), but 36 percent of respondents were in the 35-54 demographic. The split was almost even between men (52 percent) and women.

that submitted a bid for the study, MAP Consulting LLC, bid about $25,000 less than Northern Economics, according to the Associated Press. MAP Consulting is protesting the state’s intent to award the contract, according to the report. Speaking at the meeting Wednesday, Stedman said he hopes a reduced ferry service buys the administration more time to evaluate that study and figure out a long-term plan for the marine highway. Stedman said there won’t be any specific language in

this budget proposal about how exactly the ferries will run. The proposal gives the administration the ability to “adapt the schedule,” Stedman said. If a community feels that it needs more service, they can reach out and request service. Stedman pointed out the Southeast Alaska village of Angoon in particular, saying the village doesn’t have an airport or barge service and is extremely dependent on the ferry system. “We’re trying to keep the system totally intact,” Stedman said, “and give us some time for the adminis-

tration to have discussions with the labor groups and the communities, and then the Legislature will be able to review whatever’s brought before us next winter at this committee.” The Senate Finance Committee, which Stedman co-chairs, will consider the proposals of all the budget subcommittees when the subcommittees all wrap up their proposals this week or next. Then the budget will have to go to the whole Senate, then possibly back to the House before going to Dunleavy for final approval.

ing repair and maintenance classes for adults as well as bike safety classes for kids. Vadla said registration for those classes tend to fill up quickly. Thanks to the work of BiKS, the cities of Soldotna and Kenai both received bronze ratings from the League of American Bicyclists in September. This rating is based on a number of factors, including how much of the road system has a designated bike path, how many businesses have good bike parking and the availability of educational resources. Vadla said that the newly earned bronze rating gives the cities access to funds through the LAB, and it also sets a framework for how BiKS and other community activists can continue to make Kenai and Soldotna even more bike-friendly. With that in mind, Vadla said that BiKS has big plans for the future of bicycling on the peninsula, including working with the city of Kenai to plan a new bike path along Beaver Loop Road, with construction slated for this summer. One of the BiKS activists, Ben Boettger, is also working with the city to apply for a grant that would fund the construction of an additional bike path between Beaver Loop Road and Bridge Access Road. The path would complete the circuit of the Unity Trail that currently runs from Kenai to Soldotna in a 30-mile loop. Vadla added that new signage is needed along the

existing trails to improve safety and accessibility for bicyclists, pedestrians and drivers. BiKS has also collaborated with a local fabricator and high school shop classes to create new aluminum bike racks that business owners can buy to place outside their establishments. Finally, with May being National Bike Month, BiKS has a number of upcoming events planned, including a bicycling safety event on May 18 at the Soldotna Sports Complex and the Mouth to Mouth Wild Run and Ride on May 27. The winner of the race will receive a free fat bike. The origins of BiKS technically goes back to 2017 when Vadla and other likeminded individuals started organizing monthly Full Moon Bike Rides, but Vadla said that it wasn’t until 2018 that her friend Jenn Tabor came up with a name for the group that also worked as a clever acronym, and thus BiKS was born. The Full Moon Bike Rides are still a staple of the group’s work, and the next one is scheduled for this Friday at noon. Vadla said that making cities more bike-friendly is beneficial to everyone in the community, because it will in turn make the cities more pedestrian-friendly and more accessible for people who don’t have cars or can’t drive at all. Vadla summarized the ultimate goal of BiKS: “For so many decades we’ve asked the question ‘how do we move cars around town? What if we reframed the question and asked, ‘how do we move people around town?’”

I don’t think you need to be hearing these speeches over and over again next April. I would ask that someone amend it and pass it to the maximum amount tonight.” The resolution passed, seven to two, and sets the floor for what the borough will provide the district at $47.3 million. “I am not at all pleased with the minimum number,” said Dunne, who vot-

ed “no” on the resolution. “I will be arguing for additional funding for schools, but that will come at a later date of our budget process … Even though this will pass tonight, that doesn’t mean that the funding is set at that low number, it’s just a minimum amount.” Although borough funding was the issue of the night, state budget cuts loomed over all discussion. Dunleavy’s amended FY20 budget proposes a $22.4 million dollar reduction in state funding to the KPBSD, leaving a lot of uncertainty as the school district attempts to finalize their

budget for next school year. “The problem I see is not here in the borough, but down in Juneau where we have a system that is really not functional,” said assembly member Wayne Ogle. “With the uncertainties that the Legislature provides the school district in the education process, (the district is) not able to make decisions. We’re in a really reprehensible situation where we are faced with draconian cuts in the budget, the governor’s budget, that we have to deal with in one legislative cycle, 90 days … That is very gut wrenching.”

this session. Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, spoke during Wednesday’s joint session and said Price had been treated unfairly. “We had people walking around that had files of negative information about Amanda Price, and then they would

present that information and it would be what I would call a witch hunt,” Micciche said. “I don’t know how you could call it anything else.” Micciche and Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, both suggested that people might have been hypercritical of Price because she’s a woman and is an unconventional pick for this job. Supporters of hers on the floor Wednesday said she brings a new energy and a new perspective to the job that could help revitalize the department. The Senate was split on whether to confirm Price, with 10 senators voting to confirm and 10 voting to deny. Senate President Cathy Giessel, Senate Majority Leader Mia Costello and Senate Minority Leader Tom Begich were all among those who voted against Price. The House wasn’t as close, as the body voted 24-15 to confirm Price. The strangest vote of the

day came from Wasilla Republican Sen. David Wilson, who said “yippee-ki-yay” instead of saying “yes” when asked to vote on Price. It provided a moment of comic relief in a tense, hot House chambers.

one of the state’s biggest and most complex departments. Critics also noted that under Crum’s watch, the process for having a private company take over the Alaska Psychiatric Institute (API) attracted attention for not going through a competitive bidding process, and some seniors in the state have had their benefits cut off due to part of the Senior Benefit Program running out of money. Supporters of Crum’s, including Rep. Sara Rasmussen, R-Anchorage, spoke in favor of Crum and pointed out that API was already in bad shape and that funding for the Senior Benefit Program was determined by the previous Legislature. Jason Brune was Dunleavy’s choice for commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation. Brune formerly worked as a spokesperson for Anglo

American, a company that sought to get the controversial Pebble Mine project up and running near Bristol Bay. Critics of Brune’s — and there have been many during his confirmation hearings — asserted that someone who spent so much time advocating for a large mining project wouldn’t possibly be unbiased when making permitting decisions. Proponents of Brune’s have said he carries himself with great professionalism and has a great deal of experience in the field. He was confirmed, 35-24. Attorney General Kevin Clarkson was easily confirmed by a 40-19 vote, but spurred more than half an hour of debate. Legislators argued back and forth about whether Clarkson was vigorously working for his clients or whether he was going out of his way to pursue cases that pushed a very conservative agenda.

“I would feel a whole lot better if I could hear the mayor say he wasn’t going to be vetoing the ordinance we just passed,” Cooper said, with no response from Pierce. After the assembly passed the additional funding for FY19, the assembly also approved Pierce’s proposed borough contribution to the district in FY20 at $47.3 million. Pierce’s proposal is short of the district’s request of funding to the cap at $52.5 million. It’s also $2.4 million less than last year’s borough contribution. “I can’t support this (resolution) the way it is,”

Many of the public comments asked the borough to fully fund education as the district faces a $22.4 million dollar reduction in state funding under Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed FY20 budget, should that budget go through unchanged by legislators. Several members of the public and assembly recognized that Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce could veto the ordinance.

Long debates over appointees Four of Dunleavy’s appointees spurred long debates on the floor Wednesday, but all were eventually confirmed. Department of Health and Social Services Commissioner Adam Crum was confirmed by the same margin as Price was — 34-25 — and the debate over his appointment was even longer than Price’s. Like Price, detractors of Crum’s were critical of his lack of experience. He had been the executive vice president of Northern Industrial Training, LLC, but he now faces the task of running

What Others Say

Notre-Dame, a masterpiece destroyed, will rise again There are few more iconic

buildings in the world than the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris. The fire that has ripped through the great building is not just a tragedy for France but for the whole of Europe. The church, with its familiar double towers and spire, now sadly destroyed, is a masterpiece of European medieval Gothic architecture, though modified on many occasions down the centuries. It is also a centre for worship for the Catholic faith filled with priceless artefacts, paintings and holy relics, including a piece of the true cross. These past few years have been difficult for France. The spate of terror attacks two years ago in Paris, Nice and other cities left scores dead and plunged the country into a state of emergency. In recent weeks, the centre of the French capital has been ravaged by street protests staged by the so-called gilets jaunes movement. Each weekend they have smashed up the centre of the city around the Champs Elysee, wrecking cars and shops. President Emmanuel Macron was due last night to address the French people on the outcome of the national debate he launched to address voters’ concerns. Instead, he was on his way to witness his country’s most cherished building engulfed in flames. Here in the UK we have seen Windsor Castle gutted by fire and parts of Hampton Court and York Minster badly damaged. As with Notre-Dame they happened while repair work was under way. Mercifully, those buildings were rebuilt though the damage to Notre-Dame may be more extensive. This is a dreadful moment for France and its people. We share their pain. Notre-Dame can and must rise again.

Here we go again, seems like I’ve been defending all three of these issues my whole political life, 40-plus years. The difference this time that we have a reasonable governor who is rationally trying to permanently resolve these recurring issues, to the extent possible once and for all by enshrining them in the State Constitution. You’ll hear politicians, bureaucrats and special interest howling that this will restrict their ability to fund essential government services. Nonsense, it will however provide discipline and require discussion with “We the People” to determine what essential services are and how and by whom, they should be efficiently provided. To accomplish this Gov. Dunleavy has proposed three constitutional amendments, one would create a formula to put a cap on spending, another would require a vote of Alaskans to increase taxes and finally he would constitutionally guarantee the PFD. I strongly support these amendments and urge every Alaskan who wants to put a lid on state government growth and preserve the PFD to get up off of your posteriors and go to work. You can help by aggressively encouraging your family and friends to do likewise. You can do this by becoming politically active on this one issue; let’s focus and do this. Passing SJR 4, 5 and 6 is the single most important issue our legislative representatives must pass this session. Your involvement is very critical as it takes a two thirds vote of each the House and the Senate to pass them so we can vote on them in the next general election. That’s clearly a major challenge but one we can and must do! Then all we have to do is to pass them with a majority vote and Alaska and Alaskans will be in a much better place.

he would also. Let’s do it now, we’ve waited long enough. Next, a constitutional spending limit, this was approved in the early 1980s but it was literally a joke. The Legislature was reacting to strong public opposition to their spending spree and to pacify the peasants they created a title that said, Spending Limit, but they knew the formula was so high that it would never be activated. I was there and saw them literally joking and laughing about pulling a fast one on the people. Let us now pass the governor’s spending limit, which is calculated to work. Lastly, very importantly and quite self-explanatory, let’s constitutionally protect our right to vote on any new taxes. Many jurisdictions require voter approval on tax increases as it is a traditional American concept. We are the only nation ever founded on the principles of individual rights and responsibility. Let’s honor that responsibility and those principles. We can make this happen but we can also miss the opportunity to take a bit of control over our own destiny. As always it’s up to each of us individually and we Alaskans collectively to put enough pressure on our elected representatives to persuade them to at least give us the opportunity to vote our convictions. You can do your part by persuading your friends and family to do the same. Getting these three constitutional amendments passed through the Legislature is the most important issue before us this session of the Legislature. Let’s just do it.

Let’s briefly discuss each amendment. First the permanent fund is made up almost exclusively of Royalty income, that is 12.5% of the value of the extracted oil. It is critically important to understand the Royalty income rightly belongs to the People and should be distributed to them as equitably as possible, while the severance tax is rightly imposed by the state government and should be used to fund appropriate government services. These are two distinctly different pots of money and should serve different purposes. Jay Hammond and I did not agree on the income tax repeal but we did agree that the royalty income does belong to the people directly. To quote Gov. Hammond in 1980, he said while discussing the royalty income that “we are taking wealth that belongs to the people and making sure that at least some of it is funneled through their pockets instead of through their elected officials.” Jay clearly understood that the dividend, ownership rights, should be treated differently than tax revenue. He also strongly wanted a dividend provision in the original Constitutional Amendment establishing the permanent fund legislation but the Legislature would not go along so he had to drop it. Too bad so sad! It’s accurate to say that Richard Randolph served eight back in the ‘80s Jay and I both wanted the PFD enshrined in the Constitution. years in the Alaska Legislature and I still do and would like to think that lives in Fairbanks.

News analysis

President who cried wolf? Real border alarms now seem hollow By JILL COLVIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When President Donald Trump insisted last year that America’s southern border was in crisis, his warnings landed with a thud. Making unverified claims about “unknown Middle Easterners” and prayer rugs found by ranchers, Trump drew eye rolls from Democrats and many others, who derided his tactics as little more than an election-year stunt. Now, six months later, Trump’s new cries of alarm are again being met with skepticism, though the situation at the border has indeed deteriorated. Lawmakers of both parties agree there is a genuine humanitarian emergency, with federal authorities and nonprofits unable to cope with the tens of thousands of Central American families seeking refuge in the U.S. It’s a classic case of the boy who cried wolf. No wonder the public is skeptical, says Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif. “There’s a humanitarian crisis and I think that there are steps we can take to help. Unfortunately the president has never been an honest broker about any of these solutions. He plays fast and loose with the facts.” Trump and members of his administration have spent years blaming Democrats for failing to work with them to close what they describe as “loopholes” that encourage migrants to make the dangerous trek to the U.S. and that restrict the government’s ability to remove them once they arrive. “Democrats in Congress must return from

their Vacations and change the Immigration Laws, or the Border, despite the great job being done by Border Patrol, will only get worse,” Trump tweeted again on Wednesday. But Democratic lawmakers and immigration activists say that, after years of incendiary comments and false starts, there is little appetite for cooperation with Trump on an issue that has vexed lawmakers for decades. The president, they say, has not only squandered potential goodwill, but also failed to demonstrate that he is genuinely interested in potential solutions. Many also accuse the president of simply stoking the issue for his political benefit to energize his base and boost turnout ahead of his 2020 re-election race. Democrats note, in particular, the president’s threat to send migrants immigrationfriendly “sanctuary cities” in an effort to punish political foes as the starkest example of why they don’t trust the administration. “The problem is he has made it political. He’s made it all about political revenge,” said Rep. Nanette Barragan, D-Calif., who sits on the Homeland Security committee. She said that Democrats would be happy to work with the White House to address the problem, but not under the current circumstances. “If he’s truly interested in the southern border right now and what has been happening, then these policies need to change, this rhetoric has to change,” she said. Aguilar, the congressman from California, said that if the White House were really serious, it would propose legislative language on potential changes it wants for Congress to review and debate. There does appear at least to be discus-

sion underway. Last Wednesday, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan met with several Democratic senators to discuss border security, said an aide to No. 2 Senate Democratic leader Dick Durbin of Illinois. The aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe a closed door meeting, said the talks were in early stages. Other senators in the one-hour session included California’s Dianne Feinstein, in whose office the session was held, Jon Tester of Montana and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. For the most part, critics say, Trump has instead pushed ideas that have made things worse. Those include cutting off aid money to the Central American countries that migrants are fleeing; limiting asylum claims at legal ports of entry, which encourages migrants to cross illegally elsewhere, and threatening to completely close southern border crossings, which could have the same effect. “The problem is we’re dealing with an administration that doesn’t want a solution,” said Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz. He argued the administration could be doing far more to address the immediate crisis including incentivizing people to apply for asylum in their home countries so they don’t make the journey north, dedicating more resources to border facilities to process new arrivals and hiring more immigration judges to clear the backlog of asylum cases. Some have also called for mobilizing FEMA and the Red Cross to help provide housing and health care as the government would in a natural disaster. “Solutions aren’t really that hard,” Gal-

lego said. Meanwhile, Trump continues to portray asylum-seekers as dangerous figures trying to game the U.S. immigration system. “You look at some of these people; you want protection from them. And they’re saying, ‘We need protection from our country,” Trump said this week. “It’s a big con job. That’s what it is.” “Trump’s rhetoric poisons the well for any deal making,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of America’s Voice, a liberal immigration reform group, which soured on working with Trump after he backed out of a bipartisan 2018 congressional deal that would have provided legal protection for hundreds of thousands of “dreamer” immigrants brought to the country as children and now here illegally. “He’s leveraging chaos for political advantage,” Sharry said. Indeed, Sharry said he has a difficult time using the word “crisis” to describe the current situation because it has become so politically charged. “Here is an asylum emergency at the border,” he said instead. The White House didn’t respond to requests for comment Wednesday. But in Africa, Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and senior adviser told the AP that “there is no one solution to solving this problem.” “We have a humanitarian crisis at our southern border of epic proportion,” she said. “Ultimately it’s going to have to be done in Congress to change the laws that enable us to maintain secure borders and ensure that there’s adequate humanitarian assistance and relief for those who are struggling and seeking legitimate asylum in our country.”

Bruins holds off Leafs to tie series 2-2 TORONTO (AP) — David Pastrnak scored twice in quick succession, Brad Marchand had a goal and two assists and the Boston Bruins held off the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-4 on Wednesday night to tie the first-round series 2-2. Charlie McAvoy had a goal and an assist, Zdeno Chara and Joakim Nordstrom also scored and Tuukka Rask made 38 saves. Auston Matthews scored twice for Toronto. Zach Hyman and Travis Dermott also scored and Frederik Andersen stopped 25 shots. Game 5 is Friday night in Boston.

After the Maple Leafs overcame a 2-0 deficit to tie it early in the second period, Pastrnak put Boston back in front at 3:16 when he redirected a pass from Marchand on a 2-on-1. The Bruins then got a power play when Matthews went off for roughing, and Marchand whipped a backhand pass to a wide-open Pastrnak, who snapped the puck short-side on Andersen for his second goal in 1:35.

DENVER (AP) — Mikko Rantanen scored on a slap shot 10:23 into overtime after tying the game with a goal late in regulation and Colorado rallied past Calgary to take a 3-1 lead in the teams’ best-of-seven series. Moments after weathering a pen-

Rustad receives hall call Homer’s Engebretsen, Ninilchik’s Vanderford also inducted By JEREMIAH BARTZ Frontiersman.com

WASILLA — Stacia Rustad, a former Kenai Central High School multisport standout who is now the activities director at Wasilla High School, received a special phone call recently. Craig Jung, Rustad’s head coach during her days with the Kenai girls basketball program and her mentor, had some news. Rustad had been elected to the Alaska High School Hall of Fame. “I am honored,” Rustad said. But the fact that Jung was able to deliver the news made it that much better, Rustad said. “He was an important figure to

me as a young athlete,” Rustad said. “He helped me pursue my dreams of playing Division I basketball. He and I are super close.” Jung was inducted into the Alaska High School Hall of Fame in 2012, after he was nominated by Rustad. Now Rustad is a member thanks to a nomination from Jung. Jung has also earned his place in another hall. He is one of four who was just inducted in the Alaska Association of Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame. Jung, former Fairbanks basketball mentors Joe Tremarello and George Roderick will be inducted as coaches. Wasilla High School girls head coach Jeannie HebertTruax, a star at both North Pole and

Monroe Catholic as a high school athlete, will be inducted as a player. In addition to her duties as activities director, Rustad is an assistant for Hebert-Truax and the Wasilla girls. Before making the move to Wasilla High prior to the 2015-16 school year, Rustad was the head coach of the Kenai girls program for six years. During those six years, Jung was her assistant coach. Rustad just finished her fourth season coaching alongside Hebert-Truax, a member of multiple halls of fame as both a coach and a player. Rustad said she has been fortunate to be able to spend her basketball playing and See RUSTAD, page A7

White Sox, Royals brawl after homer CHICAGO (AP) — Fiercely energetic Tim Anderson spiked his bat to celebrate a home run and Kansas City’s Brad Keller responded by drilling him with a fastball, setting off a benches-clearing fracas in the Royals’ 4-3, 10-inning victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. Anderson tossed his bat toward the White Sox dugout following his two-run drive in the fourth inning. Keller hit him in the buttocks with his first pitch leading off the sixth. Anderson, the AL’s leading hitter, was restrained by Royals catcher Martin Maldonado but kept jawing with Keller on the way to first base. The dugouts and bullpens emptied, though no punches appeared to be thrown. White Sox manager Rick Renteria and Royals bench coach Dale Sveum shoved each other, and the usually mild-mannered Renteria was particularly

animated. There were four ejections — Anderson, Keller, Renteria and Sveum. Hunter Dozier led off the 10th with a tiebreaking homer against Nate Jones (0-1). His drive to left on a 2-0 fastball made a winner of Wily Peralta (2-1), who worked two innings. YANKEES 5, RED SOX 3 NEW YORK (AP) — Brett Gardner hit a grand slam off Ryan Brasier in the seventh inning for his 100th career home run, and New York rallied for a two-game sweep of the reeling World Series champions.

BOSTON (AP) — Kyrie Irving scored 37 points and the Boston Celtics rallied late in the fourth quarter to beat the Indiana Pacers 9991 on Wednesday night for a 2-0 lead in the first-round series Coming out of a timeout with a chance for Indiana to tie it, the Pacers’ Wesley Matthews threw an inbounds pass into the bench on the other side of the court with 12.1 seconds left. On the ensuing play, the Celtics’ Al Horford passed to Jayson Tatum, who was fouled on a two-handed dunk. He completed the three-point play to make it 97-91 with 8.8 seconds left. The Pacers turned it over again and the Celtics were able to close out the game at the free throw line. Tatum scored 26 points, including a thunderous dunk down the stretch to help punctuate a 10-0 run by Boston over the final five minutes.

ROCKETS 118, JAZZ 98 HOUSTON (AP) — James Harden put on an MVP performance with 32 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists to lead Houston to a second straight rout of Utah for a 2-0 series lead.

playoff triple-double. He had 25 points in the first half. Harden controlled the game from the start as the Rockets raced to a 39-19 lead after a first quarter where he scored just two points fewer than the Jazz. Houston made 6 of 13 3-pointers in the first and Utah hit just one of its 14 tries. The Rockets didn’t let up in the second quarter and led 70-44 at halftime.

The Bucks outscored Detroit 35-17 in the period to take a 93-76 lead into the fourth. Game 3 is Saturday night in Detroit.

Cousins unlikely to return this year By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer

OAKLAND, Calif. — Center DeMarcus Cousins is unlikely to return this postseason for the Golden State Warriors yet won’t require surgery on his torn left quadriceps muscle. Coach Steve Kerr has named Andrew Bogut as his starter in place of Cousins for Game 3 Thursday night of the team’s first-round playoff series against the Clippers in Los Angeles. Playing in just his second career postseason game after a nine-year wait, the 28-year-old Cousins went down in the first quarter of a 135-131 Game 2 loss Monday night. He fell in front of the Golden State bench after swiping a ball from Patrick Beverley in the back court. Cousins immediately grabbed at his left quad then hobbled to the locker room at the 8:09 mark. The tear was revealed by an MRI exam Tuesday. The big man returned in January from a nearly yearlong absence while recovering from surgery for a torn left Achilles tendon. “More than anything, I’m just crushed for DeMarcus,” Kerr said Wednesday. “He’s been waiting his whole career for this and the second game

he goes down after putting all that work in to recover from the Achilles. He’s had a great season for us.” For now, Cousins “needs to be comfortable,” said Kerr, so there isn’t a plan for how much he might be around the team for the remainder of the postseason. Teammates Kevin Durant and Draymond Green wanted to respect Cousins’ space but planned to reach out. “Just definitely thinking about him. I know for a fact with how much medicine is so good and doctors and all that stuff is so good, I’m sure he’ll be back fine, be back to 100 percent after his rehab, so I’m looking forward to that,” Durant said. Bogut will step in to start for the two-time defending champions, a familiar face who re-signed last month for a second stint with the franchise after playing for the 2015 champions. He also played on the ‘16 team that won 73 games before losing to LeBron James and the Cavaliers in Game 7 of the finals. “This is why we got him, just in case,” Kerr said. Kevon Looney will also see increased minutes. He scored a career-high 19 points on 6-for-6 shooting in Game 1 while filling in for Cousins.

By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL’s 100th season will begin with its most classic rivalry and feature the Super Bowl champion Patriots hosting Pittsburgh in the first Sunday night game. As previously announced, NFL 100 will kick off with Green Bay at Chicago for the 199th meeting of a series that began in 1921. That Sept. 5 game in the Thursday night slot usually reserved for hosting by the NFL champ forced New England to open three nights later. The Patriots have a home schedule loaded with top attractions, including Kansas City on Dec. 8 in an AFC title game rematch, and Dallas on Nov. 24. Monday night’s doubleheader on ESPN will feature Houston at New Orleans and Denver at Oakland. “We know every year there seems to be a last-to-first story,” said new Broncos coach Vic Fangio, the Bears’ defensive coordinator last season. “We were that in Chicago last year. I suppose a lot of teams counted us as a win last year. Every season is a new season and the order they choose for us to play them in, we’ll play them in.” Week 2 includes an intriguing Monday night matchup of Cleveland at the New York Jets. The very first Monday nighter was a Browns win over Joe Namath and the defending champion Jets in 1970. This one will feature the return to the Meadowlands for now-Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr., and two young, potential star quarterbacks in Cleveland’s Baker Mayfield and New York’s Sam Darnold. National broadcasts rarely have included the downtrodden Browns, but they’re a popular choice this year: Cleveland will have four prime-time games, also facing the Rams, San Francisco and archrival Pittsburgh. Every team will have at least one national TV appearance. New England, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Green Bay, Seattle and the Rams get the maximum prime-time games, five. The traditional Thanksgiving Day games will have Detroit at home to Chicago, then Buffalo at Dallas. The night game to close the holiday schedule will be New Orleans at Atlanta in another long-time rivalry. The NFC champion Los Angeles Rams will host Cincinnati in London for one of five international games on the 2019 schedule. The Rams and Bengals will face off at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 27. Earlier in October, the league will play two games at Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium in London. The Raiders will host the Bears on Oct. 6, and the Buccaneers will be the home team against the Panthers on Oct. 13. Wembley will be the site of the fourth London match, with Houston facing host Jacksonville on Nov. 3. The league returns to Mexico, after last season’s Chiefs-Rams game was moved to Los Angeles because of poor field conditions at Azteca Stadium.

coaching career in Alaska with the two of the most respected people in the Alaska basketball community. “It’s the best of both worlds,” Rustad said. “I am very biased when it comes to coach Jung. He was a huge part of getting me where I was as a player and a person. He’s a role model for me.” Rustad said coaching alongside HebertTruax has been a great experience, allowing Rustad to learn a great deal while working with the state’s winningest high school girls basketball coach. Rustad is one of seven athletes part of the Alaska High School Hall of Fame’s 2019 class. Chugiak’s Alev Kelter and Cody Tanner, Juneau-Douglas’ Justin Dorn, Homer’s Phil Engebretsen, Bethel’s Randy Hanson and Ninilchik’s Austin Vanderford will also be inducted on May 5 at the Lakefront Hotel in Anchorage. Engebretsen is a former boys basketball head coach at Colony High School. His younger brother Ryan is currently the head boys basketball coach at Wasilla. Rustad competed in basketball, crosscountry running, volleyball and track and field at Kenai. Rustad, a 1992 graduate of Kenai Central, helped lead the Kards to the 1991 4A girls state title. She also earned a Region III individual title in cross-country running. Rustad played Division I basketball at the University of Maine, where she helped the Black Bears advance to the NCAA tournament in 1995 and 1996. Jung spent 23 years coaching girls basketball at Kenai. He was named the Region III Coach of the Year three times, and was also the state coach of the year in 1991. Vanderford, a 2008 graduate of Ninilchik School, won a pair of state wrestling titles for the Wolverines, also competing in basketball. He also won an NAIA wrestling title for Southern Oregon University at 184 pounds in 2012 and has a successful career in mixed martial arts.

Today is Thursday, April 18, the 108th day of 2019. There are 257 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 18, 1983, 63 people, including 17 Americans, were killed at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, by a suicide bomber. On this date: In 1775, Paul Revere began his famous ride from Charlestown to Lexington, Massachusetts, warning colonists that British Regular troops were approaching. In 1906, a devastating earthquake struck San Francisco, followed by raging fires; estimates of the final death toll range between 3,000 and 6,000. In 1923, the first game was played at the original Yankee Stadium in New York; the Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-1. In 1934, the first laundromat (called a “washateria”) opened in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1938, Superman, AKA “The Man of Steel,” made his debut as the first issue of Action Comics (bearing a cover date of June) went on sale for 10 cents a copy. (In 2014, a nearly flawless original copy was sold on eBay for $3.2 million.) In 1943, Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet, was shot down and killed by U.S. fighters while approaching Bougainville in the Solomon Islands. In 1945, famed American war correspondent Ernie Pyle, 44, was killed by Japanese gunfire on the Pacific island of Ie Shima (ee-EH’ sheeMAH’), off Okinawa. In 1956, American actress Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier (renYAY’) of Monaco in a civil ceremony. (A church wedding took place the next day.) In 1978, the Senate approved the Panama Canal Treaty, providing for the complete turnover of control of the waterway to Panama on the last day of 1999. In 1988, an Israeli court convicted John Demjanjuk (dem-YAHN’-yuk), a retired auto worker from Cleveland, of committing war crimes at the Treblinka death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. (However, Israel’s Supreme Court later overturned Demjanjuk’s conviction.) In 1995, quarterback Joe Montana retired from professional football. The Houston Post closed after more than a century. In 2013, the FBI released surveillance camera images of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing and asked for the public’s help in identifying them, hours after President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended an interfaith service at a Roman Catholic cathedral. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama offered a spirit of cooperation to America’s hemispheric neighbors at the Summit of the Americas in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. The White House said Obama was “deeply disappointed” at news Iran had convicted American journalist Roxana Saberi of spying for the United States and sentenced her to eight years in prison. (Saberi was released on appeal the following month.) Five years ago: An avalanche swept down a climbing route on Mount Everest, killing 16 Sherpa guides in the deadliest disaster on the world’s highest peak. One year ago: Cuba’s government selected 57-year-old First Vice President Miguel Mario Diaz-Canel Bermudez as the sole candidate to succeed President Raul Castro, a move that would install someone from outside the Castro family in the country’s highest office for the first time in nearly six decades; the 86-year-old Castro would remain head of the Communist Party. Amid a blackout that affected much of the rest of Puerto Rico, generators helped keep the lights on at a stadium in San Juan for the second of two games between the Cleveland Indians and the Minnesota Twins. Bruno Sammartino, who had once been one of the longest-reigning champions in professional wrestling, died at the age of 82. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Clive Revill is 89. Actor James Drury is 85.

Poet’s

Corner April by Bonnie Marie Playle This month is spiritual cleansing and new beginnings. All the fresh colors bring out the grinnings. The signs are Aries the ram Taurus the bull; both symbols have power and pull. The elements are fire and earth while they oppose, they’re both important I suppose. The birthstone is the diamond and speaks of love and courage; with these two traits, you can only flourish. April’s color are yellow and red; meaning joy and love. Both are supreme, so it’s been said. The flowers are daisy and sweet pea; and the bird is chickadee. All make a person happy. Rowan, maple and walnut are the trees; they all speak of protection, balance and focus. They’re essential these three. Even though in Alaska a different song is sung; Thank you so, spring has sprung.

The three-night debut of “Rosie” by the Soldotna High School drama program will be a unique experience for all, even the cast. That is because the play script was written by Soldotna’s own Nathan Erfurth, the production’s technical director, who has kept the true author of the

work under wraps to all but his own wife, play director Sara Erfurth. Since production and rehearsal began in January, the Erfurth’s kept the true identity of the playwright hidden from their own students, who were told that the writer was a “friend of” Sara’s. Nathan said they used the pseudonym “Arthur Davis” to foil any efforts to discover the true author.

It has led to a long vow of silence for Nathan, who has only allowed himself to take up his normal duties as tech director for the show, while Sara has led the way in producing and directing the performance. “It’s strange because I had in my head what it was going to sound like,” he said. “I just gave her the script and do what you want with it.”

As to why they decided to keep it secret in the first place? The story goes back to November when Sara was searching for a spring production for the SoHi theatre program to showcase, but was having difficulty in finding a play that would also give licensing permission for making changes to the script that would fit a high schoolfriendly cast and audience, and one that had plenty of female characters to reward the heavy-female talent that SoHi’s program features. “It was kind of out of necessity,” Nathan said. “We had a heck of a time finding that, so I just said to (heck) with it.” “He’s like, ‘Well what if I just write one?’,” said Sara. “This is a different style of writing for him, and we decided a history play would be fun. This would be a really interesting angle, more from the civilian side.” Erfurth said he began writing the script in November, but did most of the work in a week before the semester started. As a SoHi history teacher, Erfurth even studied about how B-52 aircraft bombers were designed and how factories were laid out. See ROSIE, page A9

Review: An undiagnosed illness haunts D.J. Palmer novel By JEFF AYERS The Associated Press

A teenage girl seems to have an illness that doctors cannot diagnose in D.J. Palmer’s psychological thriller. Fourteen-year-old Meghan continues to show symptoms of some mysterious disease that has her consistently dizzy, dehydrated, and losing weight. Her mother, Becky, demonstrates signs of devotion to her daughter, but others wonder if she’s smothering Meghan. Her father, Carl, has taken an opposite approach in caring for his little girl by being hands off to the point where some question if he even cares about Meghan’s health. Meghan begins to question her sanity and her mortality while she watches her family start to implode. Is Meghan sick, or is something else going on? One doctor with potential ethics violations believes Meghan is suffering from a rare disease involving her mitochondria. Another doctor feels it’s all in her mind,

and the constant health issues stem from an overbearing mother. Legal and law enforcement debate whether this is a classic Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, a form of abuse where the person supposed to care for the individual makes up or causes the condition. Becky says no, but Carl starts to believe otherwise and begins to work to remove his wife from his daughter’s care. Becky has to prove her innocence to keep her family together and her daughter alive even though the evidence against her is overwhelming. Palmer knows how to ratchet up the suspense and paranoia in “Saving Meghan” while keeping the reader continually guessing to what is happening to Meghan. He also has the talent to create an emotional investment in the characters while also keeping the repulsion factor of what’s being discussed low. The finale might not be a happy ending in the traditional sense, but it’s unpredictable and unforgettable.

Review: If you’re not a superfan, ‘Hellboy’ is hell, boy

This image released by Lionsgate shows David Harbour in a scene from “Hellboy.” (Mark Rogers/Lionsgate via AP) By MARK KENNEDY The Associated Press

Hellboy is back and he’s got a dirty mouth and a man bun. The third film in the comic adaptation franchise has a new director, a new writer and a new look — led by a swashbuckling hellion who uses expletives and wears one of the most ridiculed hair styles in decades. “Hellboy ” is a reboot of artist and writer Mike Mignola’s fantasy world that rather rudely brushes aside the first two films as if they never existed. It’s like your

new girlfriend blithely tossing out all the accumulated stuff in your medicine cabinet. It even ignores in its title that we’ve already had a “Hellboy.” Out is director Guillermo del Toro, a monster maker of epic proportions. Out is the original Hellboy, Ron Perlman. Out is the PG-13 rating. Now we’ve got an edgier, R-rated brightly red hero in a film that can best be described as tedious. This “Hellboy” stars the always likeable David Harbour of “Stranger Things” in a film even his charm can’t save. It’s really series of violent vignettes strung

together, getting more and more outlandish and introducing characters at such a blistering pace that you just want it to stop already. Casual fans or the uninitiated are in trouble right from the beginning. Andrew Cosby’s screenplay doesn’t unspool a coherent story so much as violently shoehorn in diverse elements from the comics, overstuffing every scene and only then trying to explain why it’s been included. Director Neil Marshall leaves anyone not familiar with this world grasping and gasping. Scenes seem to just end abruptly, as if Marshall was the one trapped in story panels. A fight sequence with three giants is really the only astonishingly realized bit in the whole film. (It looks like a different set of filmmakers made it). What you need to know is that Hellboy is a devil who ends up working for the good guys, the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence. (These civil servants aren’t too good at their job, by the way: They find out that one of their enemies is causing chaos on the streets outside — from watching Sky News.)

Hellboy is basically a monster who hunts monsters, rejecting his DNA by cutting off his horns and stalking around in a ratty raincoat with no shirt. He deals with sorcery and ancient curses, utters strip club jokes, hears standard comic book lines — “Revenge is the only sustenance I require” — and has a hand in gore, beheadings, eyes gouged out and deep ugliness. The movie starts in 517 AD, then goes to modernday Mexico, Colorado, London, the English countryside and Siberia. The soundtrack is a bro-fest that includes entries by Mötley Crue, Alice Cooper and the songs seem like they were chosen by junior high kids being a little too on the nose, like “The Devil You Know” by X Ambassadors and “Beat the Devil’s Tattoo” by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club . We meet the ancient Russian witch Baba Yaga, the evil, Liverpool-accented porcine monster Gruagach (Stephen Graham), Hellboy’s adoptive father (Ian McShane), the Queen of Blood (Milla Jovovich), See MOVIE, page A9

. . . Movie

the wizard Merlin and King Arthur (no, seriously), a young cool Continued from page A8 woman with powers named Alice (Sasha Lane), a cool older sorceress (Sophie Okonedo) and a fellow agent-monster played by Daniel Dae Kim with a pretty terrible British accent. So underwhelming was this film that a recent screening in New York only sparked polite applause after it was finally over. And that was the red carpet premiere with all the cast in attendance. So even having Hellboy in the audience couldn’t whip up much enthusiasm for “Hellboy.” Harbour himself is fine, channeling the blue-collar, resigned here-we-go-again ethos of Hellboy. But his lines seem to fall flat. “Let’s eat some barbeque!” he declares as he attacks the pig monster. It’s sort of funny but somehow in this muddle of a film, it doesn’t land. It’s a pity because underneath all the silliness, there’s a rich vein the film seems to try to mine — whether what you are born determines who you become. “There has to be a world where monsters don’t have to hide in the shadows,” the Queen of Blood says to Hellboy, tempting him to join her side. This makes Hellboy pause, since he’s basically slaughtering his brothers and sisters. “You made me a goddamn weapon,” he screams at dad. That discussion raises a question about the film itself: Maybe the reason it staggers so poorly is because its DNA is all wrong. If the first two films lacked a certain verve and the third is a violent muddle, maybe making “Hellboy” movies is as cursed as its hero. “Hellboy,” a Lionsgate release, is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore throughout, and language.” Running time: 120 minutes. One stars out of four. ——— MPAA definition of R: Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

Michael Jackson estate hits back at ‘Leaving Neverland’ BOSTON — The co-executor of Michael Jackson’s estate said Tuesday that he’s confident the late superstar’s supporters will be able to protect his legacy in the wake of an HBO documentary featuring the disturbing stories of two men who say Jackson sexually abused them as boys. Longtime entertainment attorney John Branca called the documentary a one-sided “made-for-TV-movie” and accused the film’s subjects of being motivated by money. Branca acknowledged that Jackson’s estate has faced “challenges” since the documentary’s release, but said he doesn’t believe there will be a long-term impact. “People love Michael. They love Michael’s music for sure. And if the investigation is effective, which I think it will be, in showing that there is severe doubt about what may or may not have happened, we will be back to people feeling ‘It’s OK to say I like Michael,’” Branca said on a panel hosted by the Harvard Institute of Politics. It’s the latest attack by Jackson’s estate against “Leaving Neverland,” featuring Wade Robson and James Safechuck. The estate has slammed filmmakers for not interviewing any of Jackson’s family members or other defenders, who insist the singer never molested a child. The film’s director, Dan Reed, has repeatedly defended the film. Robson and Safechucks’s accusations are not new, but have put Jackson’s legacy under fresh scrutiny amid the #MeToo movement. A lawyer for the men said Tuesday that Branca and lawyers for Jackson’s estate are seeking to discredit the singer’s accusers out of their own financial interest. “Their recent comments are just part and parcel of the same thing they’ve been doing for years, which is protect the estate so they can continue to profit off of it,” attorney Vince Finaldi said. The men first came forward with their stories years earlier in lawsuits. Both of them had previously denied the singer sexually abused them, but said having their own children and Jackson’s 2009 death forced them to face the truth. Their lawsuits were dismissed for technical reasons and their appeals are expected to be argued this summer. Jackson, who was cleared in 2005 of charges that he molested another boy, acknowledged that he befriended numerous children, including some he invited into his bed, but denied molesting any. — The Associated Press

. . . Rosie

Peninsula Clarion | Thursday, April 18, 2019 | A9

Continued from page A8

Erfurth said the reason she and Nathan did not unveil the true writer behind the show was because they didn’t want to influence the students’ approach to how it should be done. The Erfurth’s said they would break the news to the cast before opening night, likely before Wednesday’s rehearsal. With the cat out of the bag, the couple said they expect a big opening night tonight at 7 p.m. Each evening will feature two productions — “Rosie” follows on the heels of “The Audition”, a one-act production produced entirely by students, which begins at 6 p.m. each evening. Sara Erfurth said “Rosie” was written as a historical drama with bits of comedic elements. SoHi senior Katie Schwartz dons the role of “Rosie the Riveter,” the iconic women’s factory worker who graced the popular posters of World War II’s “We Can Do It!” campaign. “She was a good symbol of the women’s war efforts,” Erfurth said. “It’s a story that I think is fun to explore, what kind of person might she have been and how would this have played out in the factories?” In a period of time that saw Americans supporting the war effort and patriotism from home, Erfurth said it seemed to be a very fitting period to focus on. “It’s a very big turning point in history, at least socially,” she said. Schwartz, in only her second full production acting with the SoHi drama program, takes on her biggest role yet and said the pressure to be perfect is on her, but she remains hopeful of living up to the title character. “For me it’s not just a school thing,” Schwartz said. “I care about it a lot. I put a lot of energy into it.”

For two years, Schwartz worked on the SoHi set crew, but Erfurth said she found Schwartz during a casting last year before “Chicago,” where Schwartz had a smaller role. “When she auditioned, I was shocked,” Erfurth said. “It was a really pleasant surprise, she’s surpassed expectations. She has this incredible ability to convey both emotion and restraint, and that’s a rare balance to find in young actors.” After getting through her initial nerves, Schwartz said she has settled into her new stage persona. “I was a little too afraid to put myself out there,” Schwartz said. “But this is my senior year, so I thought go crazy, why not?” The story follows Rosie as she looks for work in the American World War II efforts. She finds it in a factory building bomber planes, and experiences the hardships of entering a new workforce of women with her new co-workers. Leader of the female crew is “Marge,” a bossy manager brought to life by SoHi senior Allison Towell, who is in her sixth production as a member of the theater department. Towell said her role has forced her to step outside her comfort

zone, but it’s given her the challenges she’s needed. “I don’t like yelling at people,” Towell said, who added that the show has been most enjoyable with the talented peers she has worked with. “Being able to imagine ourselves in this time(frame) and getting the feel of being in a factory has been cool,” Towell said. “And building the plane is pretty cool, too.” One of the most impressive props, the metal-framed plane, sits on stage as a life-size skeleton frame of a WWII-era bomber plane, and the female working crew is regularly seen constructing it. Observing all this is another stage veteran, SoHi senior Daniel Mitzel, who takes on the role of “Richard” the company manager. Mitzel is in his seventh play at SoHi said this is one of his largest roles. “For me it’s (about) trying to get into the mindset of the time,” Mitzel said. “That took a while to do.” Mitzel complements the other major male character of the show, “Jack” the Inspector, played by junior Jaron Swanson. Swanson’s antagonistic persona unveils itself when he attempts to put the moves on Rosie while on a routine inspection of the plant,

which adds to the outdated view that women don’t belong in the workforce. Prior to “Rosie” beginning at 7 p.m., “The Audition” will feature an allstudent led directing core, led by Soldotna senior Emilie Grimes. The play highlights the struggles of a group of students auditioning for a high school chorus line in a theater program, and focuses on the personal stories of the actors and how theater helps them through their struggles. Grimes started working in the SoHi props department her sophomore year, then became head of props as a junior and took on an assistant director role for SoHi’s production of “Chicago” last fall, giving her experience of trying to make it up the ladder of stage production. Grimes said Erfurth helped her achieve her current status as director for “The Audition.” “She helped me a lot when I was her assistant director last semester,” Grimes said. “She saw my potential and I really wanted to learn, and she offered me this position.” “Rosie” and “The Audition” open tonight at 6 p.m. at the Soldotna High School Theater.

New ‘Star Wars’ film promises ‘The Rise of Skywalker’

This image released by Lucasfilm shows Daisy Ridley as Rey in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” (Lucasfilm via AP) By LINDSEY BAHR AP Film Writer

“No one is ever really gone,” says the voice of Luke Skywalker in the first teaser trailer for “Star Wars: Episode IX,” which audiences finally learned will be called “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” Friday at a fan event in Chicago. The closely guarded film from director J.J. Abrams will put an end to the Skywalker saga that began over 40 years ago, but even as characters and actors have passed on, the footage shown at Star Wars Celebration suggests that as with all “Star Wars” films, death is just a technicality a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Mark Hamill’s Skywalker may have died at the end of the most recent installment but his voice dominates the teaser trailer, telling someone, possibly Daisy Ridley’s Rey, that, “this is your fight now.” And audiences got a tantalizing tease from another figure from the past: Emperor Palpatine from the original and prequel trilogies, whose ominous laugh closes out the promotional spot. Carrie Fisher’s Leia Organa is back as well, despite the actress’s untimely passing in Dec. 2016, thanks to unused footage from “The Force Awakens” which Abrams was able to craft

into its own narrative for this new film. “You can’t just recast and you can’t just have her disappear,” Abrams said. “The idea of having a CG character wasn’t even an option.” He’s currently in the process of editing and adding visual effects to the film which will hit theaters on Dec. 20 and said that despite Fisher’s death, “We’re working with her every day.” “Princess Leia lives in this film in way that is mindblowing to me,” Abrams said. Abrams was joined on stage at the event by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and actors and droids alike including Ridley, Oscar Isaac (Poe), John Boyega (Finn), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose), Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), newcomer Naomi Ackie, who plays a character named Jannah, Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and even Billy Dee Williams, who reprises his role as Lando Calrissian in the new film after decades away. “How did I find Lando again?” Williams said. “Lando never left me.” “Star Wars” superfan Stephen Colbert moderated the panel, doing his best to get the tight-lipped cast and creators to reveal anything about the film. Although no one cracked under pressure, Abrams did reveal some

previously known details, like the fact that “The Rise of Skywalker” will pick up “some time” after the events of “The Last Jedi.” “This is an adventure that the group goes on together,” he teased, although he wouldn’t reveal whether or not that meant the group on stage or some other combination. “This movie is about this new generation and what they’ve inherited, the light and the dark,” Abrams added. “As they face this greatest evil, are they prepared?” Besides Hamill, another person who wasn’t in attendance was Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver. Ren is the son of Han Solo and Leia, making him and his mother the only known Skywalkers left. When prodded about what will happen with the complex relationship between Kylo and Rey, Ridley demurred, “I guess the Kylo and Rey thing, we’ll have to see.” She added: “I think I can confirm there are no more semi-naked Kylos.” That’s a reference to the scenes of a shirtless Driver in “The Last Jedi” that surprised fans. Although fans are salivating for any morsel of information, the panelists stayed as vague as possible, and kept things light-hearted debating questions like “who’s a better pilot: Poe or Han” and even taking a

break so that the audience could sing an unprompted Happy Birthday to Ridley, who turned 27 on Wednesday. Kennedy, quoting George Lucas, said however that “Episode IX” is indeed the third act of a three-act structure. But, predictably, there are still more questions than answers when it comes to “The Rise of Skywalker,” especially what will come after. The Lucasfilm and Disney collaboration has proved to be a lucrative one since Disney purchased the company in 2012 for $4 billion. Disney’s first two “Star Wars” films, “The Force Awakens” and “The Last Jedi” and its spinoffs, “Rogue One” and “Solo,” have already grossed more than $4.8 billion at the worldwide box office. As of now, there is a future for “Star Wars” on the big screen, but details are sparse and dates are nonexistent. “The Last Jedi” director Rian Johnson is working on a new “Star Wars” trilogy and “Game of Thrones” showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff are also at work on a “movie series.” Lucasfilm is expanding its small screen universe too beyond “The Clone Wars” with the Jon Favreau-directed series “The Mandalorian,” which will be available on Disney’s streaming service, DisneyPlus, when it launches on Nov. 12, and there will be a “Rogue One” spinoff series focused on Diego Luna’s character Cassian Andor. With the company’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s entertainment properties, too, Lucas’ original trilogy and prequels will also be available on the service. But who’s got time to think about the future when there are over two minutes of brand new footage from “The Rise of Skywalker” to dissect?

Hard-working wife unloads on husband at day’s end Because this is getting to you to the point that you would write to me about it, rather than offer suggestions or opinions, it’s time you tell her exactly what you have conveyed to me. Maybe you can agree on a time when these is- Abigail Van Buren sues can be discussed -- once you both have decompressed from your demanding jobs. DEAR ABBY: This is my suggestion for “Unfulfilled Grandma in Minnesota” (Jan. 15), the senior citizen looking to help young children. Schools need help! Contact the local elementary school. Speak with the principal. If the administration agrees with your intentions, you may be required to pay for the background check and fingerprinting. My story: Our youngest daughter sent me a text. She indicated my grandson’s kindergarten teacher was asking for help in the computer lab. Being a retired geek, I showed up the following Thursday, working for just an hour. After three weeks the teacher asked me

Hints from Heloise

Rubes

By Leigh Rubin

HHH Be aware of the costs of a decision or certain plans. If you break your budget, you won’t have a good time or be pleased. Know that you need to honor your priorities. As a result, others will respect your bottom line, too. Tonight: Let another person treat you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be more forthright in how you deal with a child or loved one. You could see a quality in this person that others don’t. No matter what someone says, remain sure of yourself. Your instincts generally are excellent. Tonight: Painting the town red. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be quite tired. In your present mood, don’t make a major decision. In fact, postpone all decision-making until the weekend. You’ll choose from a sounder base. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. You’ll need it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Friends surround you. Use the coming weekend to invite some of them over for a fun time. Meanwhile, try to clear out extraneous activity and work quickly. You’ll want to share your idea with your best friend. Tonight: Zero in on what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Take charge of a situation; follow through on what needs to happen. Others will be unusually responsive to you and your ideas. The timing might be right to move a project ahead. You probably should anticipate some flak on the way. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Don’t get triggered into being a part of a difficult situation. You might not feel as though you’re on the same frequency as someone else. Kick back; do some thinking. Try to identify with this person. Tonight: Read between the lines. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Be aware of a loved one’s needs. To be as effective as possible, relate directly with this person. Understand what’s going on with him or her. Check in with a friend as well, to get feedback. Try out a suggestion. Tonight: Opt to be a team.

Spring up and volunteer! Dear Readers: Warm springtime weather can put us in the mood to give back. How about VOLUNTEERING with your kids or grandkids? Teaching children about volunteering can benefit them in so many ways: * Kids learn it feels good to share and give back; they are less likely to put value on material things. * Time away from the TV, cellphone and computer is always good. * Kids can develop a heightened sense of self-worth by volunteering, and these “feelgood” feelings are healthy and can lower stress. * When it’s a family affair, kids are more likely to continue volunteering into adulthood. What are some good volunteer activities? Visiting kids in a hospital with toys and homemade cards; reaching out to kids whose parents are deployed or away from home; putting together care packages for kids and moms at homeless shelters; and there are tons of opportunities to volunteer at animal shelters. -- Heloise WHAT’S THE DEFINITION OF ‘NATURAL’? Dear Heloise: I’m reading the label of a bottle of “grape soda,” and it’s interesting. No grape juice. Fine. But how does the grape flavor come to be? “Natural flavors,” the label reads. I called the company, which was helpful. The representative said the grape flavor comes from essential oils and extracts, which include fruits, spices, vegetables, herbs, roots and bark. So “natural” doesn’t mean “healthy,” but it also doesn’t mean “unsafe.” -- Roberta S. in Ohio Good for you for asking the questions! A Heloise high-five for you. -- Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 18, 2019: This year, you’ll evolve to a new level of understanding. You’ll go back and forth trying to resolve what you sometimes visualize as opposing attitudes and responses. If single, you could project this back-and-forth quality on your relationship. The issue will be yours, not the other party’s. If you’re attached, a similar impact could occur. You see situations through both your eyes and your mind. A LIBRA will help you discern how much comes from your processing. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You start the day with a bang, and probably won’t slow down. Your intensity comes out while you’re dealing with a higher-up. Because of today’s conversation, you make a good impression and could witness a change. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Pace yourself. You can go only so far to convince another party of what will work best. If you pursue your thoughts without stopping, you might end up in a standoff. Others need time to think and evaluate your ideas. Tonight: Keep the pace. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your emotional or intellectual response might be overly enthusiastic. You could be tired of a partner or associate who often is a tightwad and can be brusque or cold. You communicate your authentic feelings. Tonight: Plan a fun weekend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might want to hide out at home. You could be very tired and wonder which way to go. Realize your longterm objectives, but don’t push others too hard. You might not appreciate their reaction. Tonight: Don’t push. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Return calls and open up conversations. Chatting also helps to build trust. At present, you could be bored and maybe tired. A change of topic or activity easily could revive you. Be sensitive to an associate who might be having a hard time. Tonight: Your favorite haunt. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

if I would be willing to help her in the classroom for four hours every Thursday. I agreed. It didn’t take my grandson long to figure out he got faster help if he addressed me as “Mr. ----.” After three months, I told my wife it was the best four hours of my week. Without blinking an eye, she smiled and said, “You know, it’s the best four hours of MY week, too!” Wait? WHAT? -- FULFILLED GRANDPA OUT WEST DEAR GRANDPA: Thank you for writing. Other readers also suggested that volunteering at a school can be a rewarding way for seniors to put their time to good use and help children. I heard from a “camp grandma” who volunteers at a YMCA summer camp, another who is a reader for 3- and 4-year-olds at a Head Start program, a child care worker in the nursery at a church, and a man who helps to make the children of Afghan refugees feel welcome in their new country through the No One Left Behind organization. Thank you all for these important acts of service, and for sharing the information with me and my readers.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have demanding jobs neither of us is crazy about. I sell insurance; she manages a hairdressing salon for a large company. At day’s end I keep the events of the day -- good or bad -- to myself. I have heard the saying “Don’t bring your family problems to work, and don’t bring your work problems home,” so I don’t carry any “baggage” home with me. If something positive happens, I may mention it. How do I get my wife to leave her work problems at work? It’s the last thing I want to hear about. If I offer an opinion or respond to her, I get criticized and accused of not appreciating how hard she works. She has actually said, “No one else in this world works as hard as I do!” I would like to have an enjoyable evening or weekend with her and not have to hear about HER work problems. -- BAGGAGE-FREE DEAR BAGGAGE-FREE: There is another saying that may help you to be more understanding: A joy shared is twice a joy; a burden shared is half a burden. If your wife can’t discuss her frustrations with you, who else can she safely confide in? A word to the wise: Women often just need someone to LISTEN.
