In the news University of Alaska seeking people affected by data breach FAIRBANKS — The University of Alaska is attempting to contact people who may have been affected by a computer data breach. The Daily News-Miner reported Sunday that hacking between January and February 2018 may have compromised email accounts containing a wide variety of personal information. The university is trying to reach those whose information may have been stolen and has set up an information hotline. Investigators determined in March 2018 that email accounts may have been affected by the intrusion that was initially thought to be limited to changing account passwords in the UAOnline Services system. The university says information varies by individual, but may include names, dates of birth, passport and government-issued identification numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account and student identification numbers, and health and health insurance information.
Troopers investigate road rage involving school bus FAIRBANKS — Officials say two men forced a school bus taking Alaska elementary students home to stop in the middle of the road during an apparent road rage encounter last week. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports Alaska State Troopers are investigating after the car abruptly stopped in front of the bus in the North Pole area, and the men got out to yell at the bus driver last Tuesday. Ticasuk Brown Elementary School interim principal Alicia Lewis said in an email to parents that the bus slowly started moving forward, but the car followed it to the next stop. Lewis said the bus driver held students on the bus until parents arrived. Troopers also were called. Lewis said a monitor was placed on the bus the next day as a precautionary measure. — Associated Press

As session heads into final weeks, Micciche talks budget, crime bills, PFD By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
With time running out on the 2019 legislative session, Alaska lawmakers will spend the next few weeks negotiating a budget while working furiously to get their agendas passed. In an update on the session so far, Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Kenai/Soldotna, told the Clarion his priority in Juneau is to see lawmakers approve a budget that lowers government spending. “We haven’t gone through our amendments yet, but I’m pushing for as many cuts that are attainable and deliverable this year,” Micciche said. “None of them being a cost shift to local municipalities.” Micciche is also hopeful he will see his five crime bills passed — SB

Seward will have a new, permanent city manager come May 1. On Wednesday, Seward City Council approved a three-year contract with Scott Mezaros, former town manager of Meeker, Colorado, with a salary of $140,000 plus benefits. His official start date is May 1. Meszaros was offered the job, filling a vacancy that’s been open since August 2018 when former City Manager Jim Hunt resigned. The role was filled with interim city managers, including Jeff Bridges, who served in the role for six months and helped the city search for a permanent city manager.

Village eyes reindeer plant idea as economic boost By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — An Alaska pastor has launched a campaign to help an impoverished Aleut village create a new economy with the plentiful supply of reindeer that roam its isolated island home. John Honan sees great potential for establishing a small commercial reindeer processing plant in Saint George, home to 60 people and an estimated 350 reindeer. Honan, a Protestant pastor who runs an emergency housing ministry on another island, has

include a portable band saw, a table saw, two sets of butchering knives and $730 to go toward a refrigerated shipping container he envisions serving as the processing plant building. “Saint George is a neighbouring island, and we love our neighbours,” Honan said. Honan got involved when Saint George Mayor Pat Pletnikoff reached out to tribal leaders in Unalaska for help after an Alaska airline began offering regular flights between the two communities last year.

‘Choir for Peace’ to play in Homer next week By Michael Armstrong Homer News
In the spirit of Homer performances of Mozart’s “Requiem,” sung in 2001 and 2002 to honor the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, a community music and art event to be held next weekend addresses a similar theme. How do we find peace in a violent and turbulent world? “Choir for Peace” comes at the subject from
a different direction, though, said Mark Robinson, who shares conducting the choral performance with Homer High School Choir Director Kyle Schneider. “I don’t see this as a grieving thing,” Robinson said. “… I see it as more uplifting and sort of a call to our higher selves, individually and collectively.” Sponsored by Pier One Theatre, the con-
cert brings together the 45-member Homer High School Concert Choir and the 90-member Kenai Peninsula Community Chorus backed by the 32-member Choir for Peace Orchestra. Schneider conducts composer Paul Aitken’s “And None Shall Be Afraid,” a fivepart cantata that concludes the evening. Aitken will visit Homer for a dress rehearsal and one performance.
Jail fire kills 2 prisoners, seriously injures guard NAPAKIAK (AP) — An early morning fire at an Alaska jail killed two inmates and seriously injured a guard who was trying to release them, officials said. Authorities did not immediately identify the victims of the fire Sunday in the village of Napakiak in southwest Alaska, the Anchorage Daily News reported Sunday. Alaska State Troopers received a report around 1:30 a.m. that the jailhouse was “engulfed in flames” and that two prisoners inside their cells “were not able to get free” of their cells.
The injured guard was flown out of the community by a medivac helicopter. Two other guards escaped the building without reported injuries. Aspects of the fire remain under question, including who operated the jail in the village of about 380 people southwest of Bethel, the newspaper reported. It was not immediately known what the victims were in custody for and whether the building was equipped with smoke detectors. A guard reported the blaze was the result of a prisoner setting fire to a mat-
tress, but it was unclear how materials to start a fire got into a cell. Two state troopers from Bethel, two fire marshals from Anchorage and an investigator with the Alaska Bureau of Investigation traveled to Napakiak to investigate Sunday, police said. A 2018 survey of public safety facilities by the Association of Village Council Presidents found problems with windows, door locks and exterior stairs at Napakiak’s public safety building, although it was not immediately clear if that was the same location as the fire.
There also is a special appearance by the Homer Children’s Choir, directed by Britny Bradshaw. Choir for Peace performs at 7 p.m. May 3 and 4 at the Mariner Theatre. Tickets are $18 general, $17 for seniors, $16 for members of the Raven’s Club and $10 for youth. They are available at the Homer Bookstore and at the door. “This particular project has pulled a lot of
people out of the woodwork,” said Laura Norton, production manager. “We have a very large group of new singers. It’s very exciting.” The event also includes spoken word poetry and prose read by Rev. Lisa Talbott of Homer United Methodist Church. An exhibit of 4-inch by 6-inch art is on display in the Homer High School Commons, with work See PEACE, page A2
Father settles lawsuit over withdrawal death in jail WASILLA (AP) — The father of a woman who died of heroin withdrawal in an Alaska jail has settled a wrongful death lawsuit against the state. A judge approved a $400,000 settlement April 19 of the March 2016 lawsuit filed against the Alaska Department of Corrections by John Green, the father of Kellsie Green, The Anchorage Daily News reported Friday. The 24-year-old died five days after entering an Anchorage jail in January 2016. Her death cer-
tificate indicated she died at the Alaska Regional Hospital of malnutrition, dehydration, renal failure and heart dysrhythmia. Alaska State Troopers arrested the woman, described by her family as a five-year heroin addict, at her parents’ request on a community service violation. Green was willing to settle in part because the state released video, audio and depositions and reports from his daughter’s case that he said detail how the system failed his daughter.

Proceeds benefit the Global Arts Corps, a group that visits former war zones to tell the stories of people affected by conflicts. “It’s also an event, a community event,” Robinson said of Choir for Peace. “… It’s about coming together as a community and appreciating ourselves and each other and our impacts in the world globally, personally and locally.” Aitken’s “And None Shall Be Afraid” forms the anchor of the evening. Schneider met Aitken in 2016 when he visited Alaska with a touring group.

we think we have it right,” he said. “It’s expected to drastically turn around crime in the state.” He said the biggest challenge with the crime bills is getting the democrat-led House to agree. However, he says he expects the bills to pass in some form. “There are four neighborhoods in my district living in conditions that are unacceptable, with active drug houses,” he said. “I feel the bills must pass this year.” The Senate is also serious about passing Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s crime bills as well, he said. “The Senate made these crime bills stronger,” he said. Micciche, who supports Dunleavy’s constitutional amendment to statutorily protect the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend, is pushing for a full permanent fund dividend this year. Micciche says he supports another Dunleavy constitutional amendment putting a spending cap on

“That began the friendship,” Schneider said. “This is a piece he put in front of me and said, ‘Tell me what you think.’ That led to being inspired to find a spot for this.” The director of music and worship arts and composer in residence at the Cathedral of the Rockies in Boise, Idaho, Aitken also told Schneider about going to Belgium and France to perform for the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I and the 75th anniversary of the DDay invasion and liberation of Europe. “He (Aitken) just wanted to bring the music of peace to this area of the world, for those anniversaries, which brought me back to calling Mark (Robinson) and talking to Mark
about ‘what would you think about doing a concert for peace?’” Schneider said. Schneider and Robinson got together with a long list of 50 choral pieces they whittled down to an evening’s concert. As they looked at the works, Robinson said themes began to develop. The concert is arranged on the idea that peace begins first with personal peace, then community peace and, finally, global peace. “The different messages and themes make a cohesive whole,” Robinson said. “… I think of it not just as wishing or hoping for peace, but a reminder that it’s all our responsibilities. It’s an active thing we have a responsibility to make happen.” Out of the high school
and community chorus, Schneider will lead an international touring group this summer to Europe, where they’ll perform in Belgium and France. Concerts will be held in Ypres, Belgium, and Flanders Field, the center of some of the most intense fighting in World War I. They also perform at the American Cemetery in Normandy, St. Michael’s Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, and at the Louvre in Paris. “For a lot of these kids, they’ve never been out of Alaska,” Schneider said. “To go to all these wonderful memorials and commemorations, it’s good they’re processing it for themselves.” Reach Michael Armstrong at marmstrong@ homernews.com.

What Others Say
Don’t deny schools the right to protect themselves For much of last week, residents
of Littleton, Colorado, paused to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre. Two student gunmen murdered a dozen students and a teacher that spring day, then committed suicide, the culmination of a plot designed to kill 500 people using guns and homemade bombs. The shock of such violence on a pacific, affluent suburban school campus shook much of America, and causes Columbine to live on in our consciousness, even as its death toll has been superseded by massacres at Sandy Hook Elementary School and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. During last week’s tearful recollections, candlelight vigils, survivors’ updates, and the weird and sad tale of a reportedly Columbine-obsessed young woman from Florida whose trek to Colorado led many to fear violence during the activities but ended with her taking her own life, many may have missed the story of Evan Todd. Twenty years ago Todd was a 15-year-old sophomore in the school library working on an English paper when the shooters entered the room. They immediately shot in his direction, wounding him, and then made their way around the room, shooting 22 fellow students, killing 10. At one point one of the shooters approached Todd, pressed a gun against his head and asked why he shouldn’t be killed. Todd recalled stammering an answer about never having done anything to either of them, and after a pause, the shooters left the library, and let Todd live. He was the last student to speak to them. Todd has said he believes prayer saved his life that day. But since then, he has pushed for a different kind of intervention in instances such as Columbine. Todd has become a gun-rights activist, including carrying a concealed weapon of his own, and his pet cause is allowing teachers to carry guns in schools. This month, as the Columbine anniversary neared, he told a Colorado radio reporter, “What actually stops these from happening? And in the world we live in, a firearm is one of those ways. And a firearm would have saved lives at Columbine.” “Had I not gone through it, I don’t know if I would have the same perspective,” Todd added. “But I’ve seen evil in this world. And ignoring it never does anything.” That reiterated a message he shared last year, both with the media around the 19th anniversary of the massacre and to community groups and state lawmakers in campaigning for a bill permitting teachers to carry guns, which was proposed by one of Todd’s former schoolmates and a survivor of the massacre. … Gun opponents repeatedly maintain this is a bad idea that does nothing to enhance school safety. In fact, as the gun-control group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America argues, panicky, illtrained teachers will make things more dangerous. That’s quite a commentary about the judgment of people we entrust with our children for six to eight hours each day. Additionally, we know it’s a fallacy to argue that more guns means more murder. The gun-related homicide rate in America today is half what it was a quarter-century ago, even as millions more guns have been sold in that time. And we know from reviews of both Columbine and Douglas high schools that law enforcement did not respond adequately to save lives, thus leaving victims, like Evan Todd, to the mercy of the killers. The urge to deny people the right to defend themselves — and in the case of Florida schools, to defend children — from homicidal maniacs is a strange one. Lawmakers cannot make teachers or anyone else carry guns, but if we learn anything from the recent Columbine retrospective, it should be that prohibiting self-defense via gun can be a matter of life and death. — The Ledger of Lakeland, Florida, April 23
Impeachment advice from Sen. Ted Stevens
Democrats in U.S. House haven’t impeached President Donald Trump. But soon after the redacted Mueller report was released, a Guardian news article asked if the eight current Republican senators who voted to convict President Bill Clinton for obstructing justice will apply the same standards to Trump. Sen. Ted Stevens is another Republican who found Clinton guilty of that charge. The insightful reasoning behind our late senator’s decision offers both parties an honorable path forward as they consider the evidence of obstruction presented by Mueller. In one important regard, Stevens differed from most of his Republican colleagues. He didn’t believe Clinton’s guilt warranted removing him from office. The context in which he defended that position began with imploring the Senate “not denigrate the role of oaths and truth in our society.” The truth was never in question. The case presented to Congress by the independent counsel became the basis for a joint resolution proposed by Democrats. Stevens noted they agreed Clinton had “egregiously failed” in his obligation “to set an example of high moral standards and conduct himself in a manner that fosters respect for the truth.” That he “made false statements” to the grand jury and “wrongfully took steps to delay discovery of the truth.” And that his conduct deserved “censure and condemnation” by Congress and the American people. House Republicans rejected the resolution and instead passed two of the four articles impeachment they drafted. “The action of the House of Representatives was not partisan,” Stevens argued. “But it is obvious from the fi-
A laska V oices R ich M oniak nal vote that future generations could reach such a conclusion.” That’s because on not one charge did more than five Democrats support impeachment. A party line vote like that in the Senate, Steven warned, would undermine the two oaths they swore to uphold. The first — to “support and defend the constitution of the United States” — he explained as a principle obligation “to protect the separation of powers of our three branches of Government.” In other words, Congress must act as an independent check on presidential power, not a partisan extension of or enemy of the executive branch. Democrats failed that test. On both charges, they all voted to acquit Clinton. The second oath was to hand down “impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.” That, however, was an impossibly high threshold. The prosecutors were all Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee. The 100 senator jurists were all biased by their party affiliation. And they all had extensive prior knowledge about the subject matter, the parties and the prospective witnesses that would be grounds for removal from a normal jury. Stevens wasn’t immune to such judicial prejudice. But having served as a defense attorney, U.S. attorney and solicitor of the Interior Department,
he believed the Senate’s impeachment trial must abide by the spirit of the law and rules of civil procedure in federal court cases. Therefore, to the best of his ability, he weighed the evidence independent of the political advantage it offered his party. On the obstructing justice charge, Stevens was among the 49 Republicans who found Clinton guilty. But he explained he wouldn’t have done so if he’d been casting the deciding vote to remove the president from office. Referring to external threats, he said that “could destabilize our nation — leaving him in office will not.” Stevens believed his decision honored the truth expressed by the joint congressional resolution to censure Clinton that was offered by Democrats. And in a defiant but honorable fashion he proclaimed “To hell with the politics … I have done my best to live by the oaths that I took, and to do what I think is right for the nation.” What would Stevens say about impeaching Trump? I’m sure he’d fulfill his constitutional duty to examine the credible evidence that the president wrongly attempted to obstruct justice. And I think he’d expect the Senate to acquit him along partisan lines. But he’d be more concerned it would further divide the country and allow the Russians to turn that into a destabilizing force against our democracy. With Stevens as their guide, Congress can find a bipartisan way to formally condemn Trump. Doing so will go a long way to restoring dignity to the oaths and truths that Americans aspire to live by.

News and Politics
New group launches to harness political power of women By JULIE PACE AP Washington Bureau Chief
WASHINGTON — Three of the nation’s most influential activists are launching an organization that aims to harness the political power of women to influence elections and shape local and national policy priorities. Dubbed Supermajority, the organization is the creation of Cecile Richards, the former head of Planned Parenthood; Alicia Garza, co-founder of Black Lives Matter; and Ai-jen Poo, executive director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. The group, which describes itself as multiracial and intergenerational, has a goal of training and mobilizing 2 million women over the next year to become organizers and political leaders in their communities. The effort comes at a moment when women have emerged as per-
haps the most powerful force in politics. Millions of women marched in cities across America to protest President Donald Trump’s election. Women also comprise the majority of the electorate in the 2018 midterm elections, sending a historic number of female candidates to Congress and helping Democrats retake control of the House. A record number of women are also seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, including four senators. Richards, who has long been a force in Democratic politics, said women “feel newly empowered and frankly motivated to take action, including so many women who never thought themselves as an activist before.” Richards, Garza and Poo spent the past year traveling the country talking to women about how to harness their activism. They found that despite in-
creased energy, many women find getting involved in politics intimidating and are unclear about how to do more than just march or protest. “Women are mad as hell and we’ve been in resistance mode for two years,” Garza said. “Now it’s time to equip people.” Supermajority isn’t expected to endorse individual candidates. But the group will help educate women about candidates’ positions on issues including pay equity and affordable child care and push politicians to adopt an agenda akin to what Richards called a “women’s new deal.” The effort will be aided by Libby Chamberlain and Cortney Tunis, co-founders of the Facebook group Pantsuit Nation, which was started in the closing weeks of the 2016 election for supporters of Hillary Clinton. The online community now has more than 3.5 million female members.

By AMY TAXIN and CHRISTOPHER WEBER Associated Press
POWAY, Calif. — In the minutes after the gunman fled the scene of a shooting that killed a woman inside a Southern California synagogue, a wounded Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein wrapped his bloodied hand in a prayer shawl, stood on a chair and addressed the panicked congregation, vowing to stay strong in the face of the deadly attack targeting his community. “We are a Jewish nation that will stand tall. We will not let anyone take us down. Terrorism like this will not take us down,” Goldstein recalled telling his congregants after the gunfire erupted Saturday at Chabad of Poway. Congregant Lori Kaye, 60, was killed in the shooting, which injured Goldstein, 8-year-old Noya Dahan and her 34-year-old uncle, Almog Peretz, authorities said. Hours after the three wounded were released from hospitals, Goldstein described the onslaught at a news conference Sunday outside the synagogue north of San Diego. Goldstein said he was preparing for a service on the last day of Passover, a holiday celebrating freedom, and heard a loud sound. He turned around, and a saw a young man wearing sunglasses standing in front of him with a rifle. “I couldn’t see his eyes. I couldn’t see his soul,” Goldstein said. He raised his hands and lost one of his fingers in the shooting. And then, Goldstein said, “miraculously the gun jammed.” The attack Saturday came exactly six months after a mass shooting in a Pittsburgh synagogue. John T. Earnest, 19, surrendered to police after bursting into the synagogue and open-

ing fire as about 100 people were worshipping inside. Earnest, who had no previous contact with law enforcement, may face a hate crime charge in addition to homicide charges when he’s arraigned later this week, San Diego County Sheriff William Gore said. He was being held without bail, and it was unclear if he had an attorney. Police searched Earnest’s house and said he was also being investigated in connection with an arson attack on a mosque in nearby Escondido, California, on March 24. The 8-year-old victim said she had just finished praying and was getting ready to go play with other children when gunshots rang out. Her uncle rushed her and the other children outside, the girl said. Her leg was bleeding but doctors told her she didn’t need surgery, she said. “I was scared, really, really
scared,” she said. “I didn’t see my dad. I thought he was dead.” Her father, 32-year-old Israel Dahan, said he flipped over a folding table as soon as he saw the man enter carrying a long rifle and told people to run. He went to look for his children and found two had been ushered out and his 5-year-old was hiding in the bathroom, he said. There were indications an AR-type assault weapon might have malfunctioned after the gunman fired numerous rounds inside, Gore said. An off-duty Border Patrol agent fired at the shooter as he fled, missing him but striking his getaway vehicle, the sheriff said. Shortly after fleeing, Earnest called 911 to report the shooting, San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit said. When an officer reached him on a roadway, “the suspect pulled over, jumped out of his
car with his hands up and was immediately taken into custody,” he said. Friends described Kaye as giving, warm and attentive to community members on their birthdays and when they were sick. A wife and mother, she loved gardening and made delicious challah for her family and friends, said Roneet Lev, 55. Goldstein described her as a pioneering founding member of the congregation and said he was heartbroken by her death. He said the attack could have harmed many more people had the shooter turned toward the sanctuary where so many were praying. “Lori took the bullet for all of us,” the rabbi said, his hands wrapped in bandages. “She didn’t deserve to die.” He said that Kaye’s physician husband was called to tend to a wounded worshipper and fainted when he realized it was his wife.
BALTIMORE (AP) — A gunman fired indiscriminately into a crowd that had gathered for Sunday afternoon cookouts along a west Baltimore street, killing one person and wounding seven others, authorities said. Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said the gunfire erupted after 5 p.m. on a block in the city’s western district of brick row homes. Harrison said a man approached a crowd on foot and began firing in what he called “a very tragic, very cowardly shooting.” Speaking at the scene afterward, Harrison said the shooting appeared “extremely targeted,” but he didn’t provide a possible motive. The shooting comes roughly six weeks after Harrison’s swearing-in last month as Baltimore police commissioner, when he promised to make the city safer and lead the department through sweeping reforms required by a federal consent decree. It’s a daunting task in one of the country’s poorest major cities where there were more than 300 homicides in each of the past two years. Harrison is the city’s 14th police leader since the mid-1990s. The commissioner said there were two cookouts taking place on opposite sides of the street Sunday, and that shell casings were found in two different locations, indicating that there may have been a second gunman, or someone firing back at the first shooter, who fled on foot. It was unclear whether the cookouts were related, Harrison said. One man who was shot collapsed behind a Baptist church nearby and was pronounced dead at the scene. Harrison said initially that six others had been wounded and
were taken to hospitals, but he didn’t release their names and had no immediate information on their conditions. A police spokeswoman later Sunday evening told The Baltimore Sun that an eighth victim, a man with a gunshot wound to the leg, went to a hospital later. “It wasn’t anything dealing with the church. I want to make that very clear,” acting mayor Jack Young said. Harrison and Young, in appearance with reporters, urged members of the public to help investigators with any information as to who took part or a motive. “Someone knows something,” Young said. “These things … they don’t happen by happenstance. People know who’s doing these shootings.” The Baltimore Sun reported that bullet casings were found scattered on the ground near grills, and a table still had items on it that appeared to be left from a cookout. Police officers could be seen after the shooting placing small orange evidence markers on the ground, just feet from a barber shop. Meanwhile, Harrison said authorities were seeking witnesses among the many present Sunday as they begin to try to piece together details of what happened. Baltimore has been plagued by drug-fueled violence for decades and it has long been considered one of the nation’s most violent big cities. But the corrosive impact of the drug trade and a sea of illegal guns continue to spawn a depressing recurrence of tit-for-tat turf wars and retaliatory attacks in swaths of the city, particularly in the deeply disenfranchised areas of West Baltimore.
East Sri Lanka on edge after Easter bombers linked to region By JON GAMBRELL Associated Press
KALMUNAI, Sri Lanka — Suicide bombings at a militants’ safe house have shaken the simple homes of this east Sri Lankan town as well as the rest of this idyllic coast, as the investigation into the Islamic State-claimed Easter bombings has spread here. Police and military checkpoints dot the coastal roads, with people emptying out of buses to present their identity papers. On streets lined with shuttered shops, police officers with assault rifles look warily at passers-by. Whispers persist about the leader of the IS-pledged militant group, which preached the promise of heaven through the killing of others both here and online. The scale of the explosives seized following Friday night’s violence, as well as the continued warning of authorities that more militants

remain on the loose, only add to the dread. “Even though the security forces are here, it’s not like earlier,” said Chandima Krishanthi, a 42-year-old market vendor in nearby Ampara. “We are living in fear. It’s nothing like it used to be.”
Sri Lanka’s eastern coast was a battleground in the island nation’s 26-year civil war with the Tamil Tiger rebels, a group of secular nationalists who launched over 130 suicide bombings themselves. The war ultimately ended in 2009 with the government
Tenn. police investigating whether suspect knew 7 victims WESTMORELAND, Tenn. (AP) — Police on Sunday raised the death toll at two homes in rural Tennessee to seven and said they are investigating whether a suspect captured after an hourslong manhunt knew the victims. Michael Cummins, 25, was taken into custody Saturday night after being shot about a mile away from one of the Sumner County crime scenes, said Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesman Josh DeVine. Police said officers responding to a 911 call from a family member led to the original discovery of four bodies and an injured person at the first home. The injured victim was transported to the hospital with unspecified injuries. On Sunday, the TBI said in a statement the
body of two more victims had been found at the home. Another body was found Saturday at another home in the area. The TBI believes the two scenes are related. The slayings were near the town of Westmoreland. Authorities have not released any details about the victims. They also have not said what kind of weapon was used. Police vehicles on Sunday blocked access to roads outside the homes. On Saturday, DeVine said at least one officer fired at Cummins after he emerged from the woods. Cummins is believed to have produced multiple weapons and the situation escalated. He was then taken to a hospital for treatment of what’s believed to be injuries that aren’t lifethreatening, DeVine said.
None of the responding officers were hurt. DeVine said a state law enforcement airplane helped authorities spot Cummins on the ground in a creek bed. A number of law enforcement agencies had been searching for Cummins, saying earlier that he could be armed and dangerous. “The community should hopefully be able to rest a little bit easier tonight, knowing that (Cummins) is in custody tonight,” DeVine said. TBI is investigating the deaths and the officer-involved shooting, DeVine said. Sumner County is northeast of Nashville not far from the Tennessee line with Kentucky.
crushing the Tigers, with some observers believing that tens of thousands of Tamils died in the last few months of fighting alone. Violence here in Kalmunai, some 140 miles northeast of the capital, Colombo, shattered nearly 10 years of peace on Friday night. One neighbor, Ahamed Mohammed Rizwan, told The Associated Press that leaders at his mosque asked him and two others to go the militants’ house and check on them as he knew the people
living there. As they approached, one man opened the gate and said, “Peace be upon you,” Rizwan said. He replied the same way and they entered the compound and began talking. Suddenly, another man appeared with a Chinese variant of the Kalashnikov assault rifle and aimed it at Rizwan’s chest, saying, “God is the greatest.” Rizwan and the other men fled and found two traffic police officers, who then started walking toward the
house. The militants opened fire, sparking the confrontation, Rizwan said. Those inside later detonated suicide vests, killing themselves and others. AP journalists walking through the neighborhood Sunday found evidence of the firefight. Spent 7.62 mm cartridges littered the ground, likely from the assault rifle one of the militants carried. Down the street, bullet holes punctured the cement block walls of neighbors’ homes.

Elliott, Chevy capture Talladega victory By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer
TALLADEGA, Ala. — Chase Elliott felt right at home, embraced by fans at a track a few hours from home and one where his father celebrated victory a couple of decades before. This time it was Chase’s turn. Elliott won the Cup Series race Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, giving Chevrolet its first victory of the season. He finished well in the clear from a race-ending crash that flipped Kyle Larson a half-dozen times. Elliott took the lead shortly after a restart with four laps to go and worked with three other Chevy drivers to hold off the rest of the field. He won for the first time since October and went to victory lane about 150 miles from his hometown in
Georgia. His Hall of Fame father Bill Elliott won twice at Talladega in the 1980s. “Dad’s history, obviously very cool,” Chase Elliott said. “To me the biggest piece of today was just how much of a home race it felt like after the race. I was blown away by the people and how fired up everybody was. That was an unbelievable experience. We are close to home, so that’s cool, and they made me feel that way. “I couldn’t ask for much more there.” His father was back in Georgia driving in a vintage cars race. (He won, too), Hendrick Motorsports teammate Alex Bowman finished second, followed by rookie Ryan Preece, Joey Logano and another rookie, Daniel Hemric. Elliott is the sixth driver to win
Warriors defeat Rockets By The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. — Kevin Durant scored 35 points in outdueling James Harden and the Golden State Warriors held off the Houston Rockets 104-100 on Sunday in the opener of what is shaping up to be a sensational best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal. Houston’s Chris Paul was ejected with 4.4 seconds left for a second technical. He had rebounded a missed 3-pointer by Harden that could have tied the game with 9 seconds left and was arguing for a foul. Draymond Green added 14 points, nine assists and nine rebounds for the two-time defending champion Warriors, who are meeting the Rockets in the postseason for the fourth time in five years and with Houston having never been victorious. CELTICS 112, BUCKS 90 MILWAUKEE — Kyrie Irving had 26 points and 11 assists, Al Horford added 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Boston cruised past Milwaukee in the opener of their second-round playoff series. Jaylen Brown chipped in with 19 points and Gordon Hayward had 13 off the bench for the Celtics. Boston controlled the game for long stretches and played stingy defense against MVP candidate Giannis Antetokoumpo, who scored 22 points but shot just 7 for 21. Antetokounmpo didn’t make his first field goal until the first minute of the second quarter.
Hurricanes nip Islanders By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Warren Foegele and Nino Niederreiter scored 48 seconds apart early in the third period to rally the Carolina Hurricanes to a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday and a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Petr Mrazek stopped nine of 10 shots he faced before leaving with an injury 6 1/2 minutes into the second period. Curtis McElhinney came on and finished with 17 saves to help Carolina win for the sixth time in its last seven playoff games. AVALANCHE 4, SHARKS 3 SAN JOSE, Calif. — Tyson Barrie scored the tiebreaking goal and assisted on two others and Colorado beat San Jose to even the Western Conference semifinal series at a game apiece. The Avalanche were in danger of falling into a 2-0 series hole when coach Jared Bednar reunited his top line by moving Mikko Rantanen up to play with Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog with his team trailing 1-0 in the second period. The move led to a goal by Landeskog on their first shift together and another by Barrie later in the period to help Colorado bounce back from a 5-2 loss in the series opener.
Kipchoge wins London Marathon LONDON (AP) — Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya ran the second-fastest time ever to win the London Marathon for a record fourth time Sunday, and compatriot Brigid Kosgei swept to victory by almost two minutes in the women’s race. The 34-year-old Kipchoge pulled clear of Ethiopian runners Mosinet Geremew and Mule Wasihun in the final 10 minutes to complete the 26.2-mile course in 2 hours, 2 minutes, 37 seconds on a blustery day in the British capital.
through 10 Cup races this season and locked up a playoff spot. Elliott credited a meeting with all Chevy drivers for the late-race teamwork. The race ended under caution after David Ragan hit William Byron, who tagged Kyle Larson and sent him sliding across the track. Larson then flipped half a dozen times before coming to a stop. “That was probably the longest flip I’ve ever had,” Larson said. “I haven’t seen a replay of it. I didn’t know if it would ever stop. I knew I was flipping and was just hoping that I wasn’t going to get any closer to the catch fence, so it was a little bit scary, but thankfully I’m all right.” The 2019 aerodynamics package had cars reaching higher speeds than NASCAR wanted in practice, so officials tried to slow them down with
a late rules tweak. But the changes made the cars go even faster, leaving many veterans wary of the closing speeds and potential for chaos and high-speed crashes. But the race was mostly wreckfree — until the final lap. Elliott’s victory ended a sevenrace winning streak for Ford at Talladega. Penske Racing had won six of the last nine. But it was a Chevy celebration — for a change. “We needed to win this,” said Alan Gustafson, Elliott’s crew chief. “We needed to consolidate our efforts. We needed to break the streak that one of our rivals has here.” Bowman didn’t get a chance to try any last-gasp attempts to pass his Hendrick Motorsports teammate because of the caution. “Well, I’m not just going to let him win, right?” Bowman said.
“I’ve got to try. I knew I could get to his quarter panel. I was pretty confident I could get to his quarter panel in the tri-oval and who knows who’s going to get to the line first at that point. I thought I could do it, but it depends on the car behind you and where he goes. It would have been fun to try. LATE MELEE: Martin Truex Jr.’s race essentially ended with seven laps to go. Aric Almirola turned Chris Buescher, who was vying for the 10th spot, coming out of Turn 2 and caused a four-car wreck that included Truex and brought out a red flag. Buescher slammed into the wall and started spinning. Matt DiBenedetto had nowhere to go and rammed into Buescher’s rotating Chevy, lifting it several feet off the track. Buescher car then hit Truex and Justin Haley.

We both went our separate ways for a couple of years because I moved far away with my family. We started college in different states, but got Abigail Van Buren back together over spring break a year ago. This year we got pinned to each other. However, even though we are committed to each other, because we are so far apart, we agreed we would go out on dates and socialize until we are engaged. After a few months, I found out she had gone home with a co-worker after work when he offered to fix her dinner. Dinner led to wine and more than a few drinks, and then to kissing, fondling, etc. I was extremely hurt when she confessed it to me, and now I’m not sure I can trust her or if there are other things going on. We still plan to get engaged when the time is right, but should I believe she’ll be faithful and truthful, or should I find someone else I know I can trust? -- LET DOWN IN ILLINOIS
DEAR LET DOWN: Give her props for being honest with you about the kissing and fondling, but before making up your mind, clarify exactly what the “etc.” means. You should also make sure you have a clear definition about what “socializing” means. (There is socializing and then there is SOCIALIZING.) If your definitions don’t line up, then break up. DEAR ABBY: My mother committed to going to my son’s first College National Honor Society induction ceremony. My brother’s wife’s grandmother passed away, and her wake/funeral is the same day. My mother backed out of her commitment to my son and is now going to the wake/funeral. Should I feel angry that she did this? Which event should she commit to? -- HURT IN THE EAST DEAR HURT: Calm down. You stated that this will be your son’s “first” induction into the National Honor Society, which implies that there may be more. Your mother will have but one opportunity to pay respects to her in-law, which is why she changed her plans. Accept it. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

The value of older workers Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about the lack of employment for older workers: “Dear Heloise: There are many experienced, capable people over the age of 45 who want to continue to work, even if only part time, but no one will hire them. We’ve kept up with technology, become experts at problem-solving and have an old-fashioned work ethic that says you go to work every day, on time, and do your best. Yet an employer never stops to think that a great many of us are willing to work until we’re 70 or 75 because we’re in good health and want to stay engaged in the world around us. We’ve made our mistakes years ago and can help others avoid those pitfalls. So why won’t employers hire the older population of this country?” -- Peter and Lois D., Pontiac, Mich. Peter and Lois, that’s an excellent question. With so much to offer, why don’t employers hire more people over 50? -- Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some uses for junk mail envelopes: * Keep one in the glove compartment to hold receipts for parking, credit cards, etc. * Keep loose change in them for parking meters or toll fees. * Keep seeds in them for next season’s planting. * Place coupons in them so you won’t lose them before you get to the store. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I think a person in my life, “Janine,” has kleptomania. I have seen her take things from my house, and I know she steals clothing from stores (as evidenced by the security clips still on them). A friend witnessed her take boxes of doughnuts from my wedding. When my friend confronted her about it, Janine said that she “deserved” them. She even took my husband’s glasses and then, a year later, set them on the kitchen counter -- next to her purse. She has other sporadic behaviors as well. I’m struggling to be understanding about kleptomania, knowing that it’s a mental illness. I don’t want to lose my personal belongings or my relationships! We’re no longer comfortable having Janine in our home. I’m reluctant to talk to her about it because she can be combative and defensive. Is it socially acceptable to bring up this behavior with our mutual friends, or should we keep our mouths shut? -- TESTED IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST DEAR TESTED: If you are sure that Janine has kleptomania, it would be a kindness to caution your mutual friends about it so they can protect their belongings. I would certainly

SoHi Pool Schedule M,W,F Morning Lap 6:30-7:30 a.m. Sport Calendar — http://www.arbiterlive.com/ Teams?entityId=21192 or http://www.asaa365.com/ There are two ways to order a transcript. Each way serves a different purpose. If you need a transcript sent to a college or NCAA or a similar agency, then you will need to log on to: http:// www.parchment.com to order transcripts to be sent. The request is then forwarded to SoHi. After processing, it then goes through cyberspace — rather than the U.S. mail — to get to its destination, which is much faster! ALL transcripts that are headed for NCAA, colleges, etc. have to be processed this way! FINAL TRANSCRIPTS! A final transcript is one that shows your second semester grades. If you order your transcript when we are IN second semester, you will need to make sure you choose “next grading period” when you go on to Parchment — that way your transcript request will wait until the grades are in at the end of the year before it is sent. Soldotna High School would like to thank everyone
that helped make our Prom by the Pier a success! Thank you to all the parents of juniors who were involved with After Prom, and thank you to community members and businesses who volunteered and/or donated items.

Twitter terror: Arrests prompt concern over online extremism By ADAM GELLER AP National Writer
GREECE, N.Y. — A few months after turning 17 — and two years before he was arrested — Vincent Vetromile recast himself as an online revolutionary. Offline, in this Rochester, New York suburb, Vetromile was studying heating and air conditioning at a community college. He spent hours with his father, working on cars. On social media, though, the teenager spoke about reclaiming "our nation at any cost." Eventually he subbed out the grinning selfie in his Twitter profile with the image of a colonial militiaman shouldering an AR-15 rifle. And he traded his name for a handle: "Standing on the Edge." In 2016, he sent the first of more than 70 replies to tweets from a fiery account with 140,000 followers, run by a man calling himself Donald Trump's biggest Canadian supporter. The final exchange came last December. "Muslim No-Go Zones Are Springing Up Across America. Lock and load America!" the Canadian tweeted, with a map showing states with Muslim enclaves — including New York. "If there were specific locations like 'north of X street in the town of Y, in the state of Z' we could go there and do something about it," Vetromile replied. Weeks later, when police charged Vetromile and three friends with plotting to attack the Muslim settlement of Islamberg in Delaware County,
New York, it raised questions about ideology and young people — and technology's role in bringing them together. "I don't know where the exposure came from, if they were exposed to it from other kids at school, through social media," said Matthew Schwartz, the assistant district attorney prosecuting the case. "I have no idea if their parents subscribe to any of these ideologies." Accused with 19-year-old Vetromile are Brian Colaneri, 20; Andrew Crysel, 18; and a 16-year-old The Associated Press isn't naming because of his age. They've all pleaded not guilty. Parents or other relatives declined comment. Their attorneys did not return calls; in court some of them have chalked all this up to talk among buddies. There is no indication the four had set a date for an attack, prosecutors say, and reports they had 23 guns are misleading; the weapons belonged to family members. Prosecutors allege the suspects discussed using those guns and explosive devices against Islamberg, where residents have faced harassment by right-wing activists who call the community a terrorist training camp. A Tennessee man was convicted in 2017 of plotting to burn Islamberg's mosque. Well beyond New York, the spread of extremism — and technology's role — has sparked concern. A House committee questioned Google and Facebook executives recently about their platforms' role in feeding hate crime. Experts point to algorithms used
H O M E R, A L A S K A

by search engines and social networks to prioritize content. "Once you indicate an inclination, the machine learns," said Jessie Daniels, a professor at New York's Hunter College. "That's exactly what's happening on all these platforms ... and it just sends some people down a terrible rabbit hole." There are few clues so far to explain how four with little experience beyond their high school years might have come up with the idea to attack Islamberg. What is clear, though, is the long thread of frustration in Vetromile's online posts. Where once those posts centered around video games and English class, by 2017, Vetromile was directing strong statements at Muslims. The Canadian account, belonging to one Mike Allen, seemed to push that button. When Allen tweeted, "Czech politicians vote to let citizens carry guns, shoot Muslim terrorists on sight," Vetromile responded: "We need this here!" The December tweet about Muslim "no-go zones" included a video interview with Martin Mawyer, whose Christian Action Network made a 2009 documentary alleging Islamberg and other settlements were terrorist training camps. Police have said Islamberg does not threaten violence. Online, Vetromile expressed concern that the video referred to "'upstate NY and California' and that's too big of an area to search for terrorists." When others chimed in, suggesting locations, Vetromile replied: "Worth a look. Thanks."

Months earlier, prosecutors say, the four suspects had started using an online messaging platform to discuss weapons and how they would use them in an attack. It's alleged that Vetromile set up the channel. In November, the conversation expanded to a second channel: "#militiasoldiers-wanted." In January, the 16-year-old showed a photo to a classmate of one of his fellow suspects, wearing some kind of tactical vest, and said something like: "'He looks like the next school shooter, doesn't he?" according to local police. The other student reported the incident, leading to the charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism. The allegations have jarred a region where political differences are the norm. Bob Lonsberry, a conservative talk radio host in Rochester, said he checked Twitter to confirm Vetromile didn't follow his feed. But looking at the accounts Vetromile did follow convinced him that politics on social media had crossed a dangerous line. The alleged plot is an aberration, Lonsberry said. "But ... aberrations, like a cancer, pop up for a reason." Mike Allen, the Canadian whose tweets Vetromile followed so closely, expressed dismay when an Associated Press reporter told him one of those accused in the plot had closely followed his feed. "And they got caught? Good," said Allen, 69, a retired real estate executive. "We're not supposed to go around shooting people we don't like." The next day, Allen shut down his account — and his narrative all but vanished.

Bridges moved back east in March. Since Bridges left, Seward Harbormaster Norm Regis has acted as interim city manager. Initially, the permanent job was offered to Erin Reinders of Unalaska. After being offered the job in Seward on
George residents are on welfare, and other than a small halibut fishery, the few jobs available come from the local and tribal government. He envisions a reindeer plant creating three or four jobs, which would be a big deal in the village, he says. The tribal leaders introduced Pletnikoff to the pastor, who was eager to help after the two brainstormed ideas and arrived at the concept involving the non-native reindeer. The U.S. government initially introduced 15 reindeer on the Bering Sea island in 1911 to provide a stable source of meat. In 1980, long after the animals had died off, the village Native corporation, Tanaq, transported another group of reindeer from Umnak Island, about 230 miles south in Alaska’s Aleutians. Honan delivered the equipment gathered so far during trips to the village 220 miles from Unalaska Island. Pletnikoff said the vil-
Around the Nation Southwest: Boeing didn’t say it had deactivated safety alert Southwest Airlines says Boeing did not disclose that it had deactivated a safety feature on its 737 Max jets until after one of the airliners crashed last year. At issue is an alert that tells pilots if a sensor — called an “angle of attack” (AOA) indicator — is transmitting bad data about the pitch of a plane’s nose. The sensor’s alerts had been operational in previous versions of the 737 but were switched off in the 737 Max. The news first appeared Sunday in The Wall Street Journal. The Journal also reported that Federal Aviation Administration safety inspectors and supervisors did not know about the change either. The FAA declined to comment. In a statement Sunday, Southwest said that the safety feature was “depicted to us by Boeing as operable on all Max aircraft.” Only after a Lion Air 737 Max crashed in Indonesia last Oct. 29 did Boeing say the feature wasn’t turned on, Southwest said. The Max was grounded after a second crash, involving an Ethiopian Airlines jet, on March 10. In response to the Journal story, Boeing said that as the Max planes return to service “all customers will have the AOA disagree alert as standard.”
Survey predicts slower pace of economic growth A survey of corporate economists predicts the economy will expand over the next year, although the pace of growth will decline and employers are facing pressure to raise wages, spend more on worker training and automate tasks because of the low unemployment rate. Just 53% of the economists polled for the National Association for Business Economics’ April survey, released Monday, expect the economy to grow by more than 2% this year, down from 67% who felt that way in January. The results from the survey released Monday suggest a sharp slowdown after the Commerce Department reported Friday that the economy grew at a strong 3.2% during the first quarter. The economy grew quickly during the first three months of 2019 because of a surge in company inventories and a shrinkage in the trade gap, temporary factors that are likely to fade. Businesses increased imports at the end of 2018 out of concern that President Donald Trump could further escalate tariffs against China, but the administration held off to conduct trade talks with the world’s second largest economy. However, the NABE survey found that the tariffs already imposed by Trump have been a drag. For economists involved in goods producing, 75% said the import taxes were a negative. — Associated Press
The state took responsibility for decisions that killed his daughter, Green said, including not immediately providing adequate IV fluids and medically supervised drug detoxification. Jail personnel also failed to respond to frequent calls for help from Kellsie Green’s cell while other inmates provided
aid, Green said. He hopes the publication of the case materials will prompt a change in the state’s inmate detox procedures. “I’m just mad. There’s no reason this should have happened,” Green said. “And it will continue to happen. My biggest fear is it will continue to happen.”
April 1, she was also offered and later accepted the city manager position in Unalaska. She turned down the Seward position April 15. Reinders was the unanimous choice, but the council highlighted that it had been a tough decision between the two final candidates, Reinders and Mezaros. “The only thing that catapulted her over him, in my head, is that she has Alaska
experience,” said Seward Council Member Suzi Towsley at a council meeting Monday. “We can get Scott up to speed. It’s not rocket science, just Alaska politics.” Mezaros was the town manager of Meeker from 2012 to 2018. Meeker, Colorado, is about 3.5 square miles and has a population of just under 2,500. According to a 2018 Meeker meeting minutes, he submitted his resignation in Nov. 2018.
lage is waiting for all the equipment to come through before contacting state officials about the required next steps. “It’s just the genesis of an idea, of what can we do to develop an economy on the island,” he said. Saint George, on an island by the same name, has long struggled to fill the economic vacuum left by the federal government’s termination decades ago of the village’s once-lucrative fur seal trade. Residents still hunt the seals for subsistence purposes, and the reindeer add to the local diet. Local leaders say the harbour is inadequate to accommodate large fishing vessels, with only a handful of residents involved in a small-boat halibut fishery. Pletnikoff said the village is working with the Army Corps of Engineers for construction of a new harbour that could allow a robust commercial fishing industry. “In the meantime,” Pletnikoff said, “we need to take care of our people.” Dozens of similar small operations have failed over the years because they lacked a realistic business
plan, said Greg Finstad, manager of the University of Alaska Fairbanks reindeer research program. And the state has strict regulations for meat processors. It requires a state inspector paid by plant operators be on hand when reindeer are slaughtered at a permitted facility. An inspector is not required when reindeer are killed in the field, but that is allowed only under specific conditions — in freezing temperatures, when there is snow on the ground and when the carcasses are immediately frozen. Finstad said acceptable field slaughters could be a challenge for communities like Saint George that are farther south and may be feeling the effects of a warming climate. Finstad’s program works with communities seeking guidance for developing a reindeer enterprise. “We don’t need any more failures,” he said. “We want to go and either create a happy story or give them the bad news that, ‘You know what? This just isn’t going to work.”’
