In the news Sitka jury convicts Klawock man of first-degree murder SITKA — A 30-yearold man from a Southeast Alaska village has been convicted of first-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend. The Sitka Sentinel reports Albert Macasaet of Klawock was convicted Friday in Sitka in the July 31, 2016, strangulation death of 27-yearold Judylee Guthrie, the mother of his two children. Klawock is on Prince of Wales Island. On the day of Guthrie’s death, the couple had been drinking with friends in Craig. Macasaet the next day reported Guthrie missing. Later that day, he told Craig police he had found Guthrie’s body. An investigation determined she had been hit in the face and strangled with the cord of her hooded sweat shirt. Jurors were told that Macasaet twice previously had strangled Guthrie. He will be sentenced Sept. 9 in Klawock.
Bill would allow tribal regalia at certain public events JUNEAU — State agencies, cities, the University of Alaska and school districts could not bar individuals from wearing tribal regalia or carrying objects of traditional cultural significance at public events under a bill introduced in the Alaska House. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Tiffany Zulkosky, a Bethel Democrat. The measure, introduced Monday, comes after school district administrators in Anchorage approved changes to allow graduates there to wear traditional tribal regalia and objects of cultural significance at graduation ceremonies. The bill describes public event as an awards or graduation ceremony, public meeting or another event held or sponsored by a state agency, municipality or school district or the University of Alaska.

Pierce vetoes $2.5 million for schools By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce vetoed supplemental funding of nearly $2.5 million for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District on Monday. The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly passed an ordinance April 16 increasing the fiscal year 2019 funds to the school district by $2,423,955. The ordinance passed 5-4. Pierce issued a memo Monday to residents explaining his reasoning, citing future fiscal uncertainty at the state level. “It can be argued that See VETO, page A3

Bill could delay new school construction By Ben Hohenstatt Juneau Empire
The state probably won’t help cities pay off new school construction debt any time soon. The Senate Finance Committee Monday morning discussed House Bill 106, which would extend a moratorium on the state reimbursing municipalities for school construction bonds to 2025. Previously, the state stopped covering part of new school bonds in 2015. That moratorium would expire July 1, 2020 unless it is extended. Juneau school officials said the bill — sponsored by Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole — could be a negative for the district. “My first blush is that the city owns our facilities, and whenever we delay work on our facilities, it costs us more money down the road,” Juneau School District Super-
Sen. Natasha von Imhof, R-Anchorage, chairs the Senate Finance Committee at the Capitol on Monday. (Michael Penn/Juneau Empire)
intendent Bridget Weiss told the Empire in an interview. “Anything left
unattended for 10 years, that is not going to bode well for our school dis-

USDA census shows growth in agriculture By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Today may be a good day to buy local. In an executive proclamation issued last month, Gov. Mike Dunleavy
named May 7 as Alaska Agriculture Day, and encouraged residents “to support local agriculture by seeking out and purchasing products produced and grown in Alaska.” “Agriculture has an
integral role in the successes to every civilization and was instrumental to the settlement of Alaska,” the proclamation reads. “From early Russian trading posts to the settlers of the Tanana Valley, Alaskan
frontiersman have seen the potential for agriculture and development in Alaskan communities.” Alaska Agriculture Day was first celebrated in 2007. See USDA, page A2
Prominent Anchorage pastor steps down ANCHORAGE (AP) — An Anchorage minister whose influence extended beyond the pulpit into Alaska politics has stepped down. The Rev. Jerry Prevo gave a farewell sermon
Sunday at Anchorage Baptist Temple after 47 years, the Anchorage Daily News reported . “It’s the Lord’s timing,” said Prevo, 74. Prevo’s farewell service drew thousands of people.
Three rows of elected officials joined him onstage. They included Gov. Mike Dunleavy, former Gov. Sarah Palin, former U.S. Sen. Mark Begich, U.S. Rep. Don Young and Alaska Attorney General Kevin
Clarkson, who is recovering from a heart attack. The church has $21 million in reserves and assets valued at $85 million, said Franklin Graham, a pastor and son of the late evangeSee STEPS, page A3

It’s been a strange few weeks for Capt. Michael Schlechter. Schlechter, who served on the F/V Fairweather for 15 years, steered the Fairweather on its final voyage in Alaska last month and piloted the new Alaska-class Ferry Tazlina up and down Lynn Canal last week. “It’s been weird because I was the last captain on the Fairweather,” Schlechter said. “I took it down to Ketchikan, locked the door behind me and left, and then came over here and

Dunleavy asks lawmakers not to ‘water’ down crime bill JUNEAU (AP) — Gov. Mike Dunleavy says a crime bill that emerged from a key House committee addresses major public safety concerns flagged by his administration and urged lawmakers to not “water” it down. He says the bill, which advanced from the House Finance Committee Monday, currently is acceptable. It could be amended when it reaches the House floor. But Dunleavy asked lawmakers to not dilute its effect. John Skidmore, director of the Department of Law’s criminal division, told the committee Saturday the bill effectively repeals and replaces elements of a sprawling criminal justice overhaul that were seen as problematic. The measure, among other things, increases penalties and sentencing ranges. Crime is one of the big issues lawmakers want to address in this session’s waning days.
Two charged in Soldotna auto shop car theft By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
Two people from Kenai have been charged with stealing a 2007 Chrysler Sebring from the parking lot of Alyeska Tire in Soldotna, according to an affidavit filed at the Kenai Courthouse on Friday. Christian Athey, 22, allegedly drove to Alyeska Tire in a black Honda CRV on May 1 and dropped off Karli Bell, 19. Bell then drove away in the Sebring, which she did not own and that she did not have permission to drive, according to the affidavit. The scene was captured by surveillance footage from Alyeska Tire. Soldotna State Troopers received a call on May 2 from an employee at Alyeska Tire reporting that the Chrysler had been stolen out of the parking lot. The employee told troopers that the vehicle had been dropped off at the tire store a week before and that the keys had been left in the vehicle. Soldotna Police received information that the CRV was seen driving on the Kenai Spur Highway. Kenai Police located the CRV and identified Athey as the driver. Athey allegedly admitted that he drove Bell to the automotive shop on the night in question, and that Bell told him that she needed to pick up the SeSee THEFT, page A3

The Alaska Agriculture Day celebration comes on the heels of the release of the United States Department of Agriculture 2017 Census of Agriculture, which shows that the Kenai Peninsula agricultural industry has grown. The census, which USDA conducts every five years, provides an opportunity to take a comprehensive look agricultural trends. Released a few weeks ago, the report found that
Severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and flooding will focus over the southern and central Plains today. Lesser showers and storms will extend from the Ohio Valley to New England and riddle the Rockies.

total sales of Kenai Peninsula agricultural crops in 2017 was $5.4 million, with $2.2 million being from aquaculture. From 2012 to 2017, the number of peninsula farms selling food directly to consumers increased from 56 farms to 74, the report found. The census also found that the number of farms producing flowers or nursery crops more than doubled between those years, from 46 to 103. The total number of farms increased 60%, from 162 to 260, while direct sales of food to consumers more than tripled from
$312,000 to $981,000, the report found. Similar sales for flowers and nursery and greenhouse products increased nearly 60%, as well, the report found, from $1.052 million to $1.671 million. The USDA agriculture census uses both online and print surveys to gather its data. The state of Alaska had a 65% response rate in the 2017 census, while the peninsula had a 70% response rate. In a presentation diving deeper into the census data, Sue Benz, who represents the National Agricultural Statistics Service for Alas-
ka, noted the average age of an Alaskan farmer, at 55.2, is similar to that of a farmer in the U.S., at 57.5. The report also found that there are many more new farmers in Alaska — meaning producers have spent less than 10 years working on any farm — compared to the U.S. average. Women farmers make up nearly half of the agricultural producers in the state, compared to roughly 27% in the U.S., the report found. For residents interested in filling their fridges with local produce, local farmers markets will begin operating in the next few weeks.
other committee members requested data from the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development that would show how much debt being reimbursed was incurred by maintenance rather than new construction. Additionally, more insight into the condition of public school facilities around the state was requested. School Finance Manager Elwin Blackwell and Facilities Manager Tim Mearig, who were present at the meeting, said the debt breakdown does not yet exist but could be created and there is not a comprehensive database of building conditions available. “Knowledge is power, and data is important to help shape policy decisions,” Von Imhof said. “If you would like the help from this committee to help, maybe pass a statute to begin funding school building or repair work again, we will need to have data.” She said when DEED employees visit districts, it would make sense to also record the condition of buildings, when they were built and student count among other information in a larger database. During public testimony both Jim Anderson,
CFO for the Anchorage School District and Nils Anderson, Executive Director for Alaska Municipal League, spoke against the moratorium. “The state would see overall school construction decrease in years to come, and we question whether that’s the outcome we’re trying to achieve with this continued moratorium,” Andreasson said. “A 10-year moratorium does not meet the state’s goals nor its constitutional obligations. Another five years of stalled school constructions is an arbitrary time frame placed on the critical needs of school districts and the responsibility of the state.” The new bill, which was put aside for further consideration, would not retroactively affect debt from before 2015, Von Imhof said. That means it would not impact the school bond debt issue being watched closely by municipalities, including City and Borough of Juneau. Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed budget eliminated funding for the debt, the House of Representative’s budget cut half of the funding, and the Senate’s budget maintained full funding — about $99.8 million — for school bond
debt. The program in Juneau is paying off debt from projects including remodeling Auke Bay Elementary School and Sayéik Gastineau Community School. The level of funding ultimately approved by the Legislature and governor will have a direct impact on local property taxes. “Our citizens should be advised that the most likely outcome of school debt shifting by the Governor or legislature is a local property tax increase between 4.4 percent and 13.7 percent for the next one, five or 10 years,” City Manager Rorie Watt wrote in a memo last week to the mayor and Assembly. DEED figures put Juneau in line to be reimbursed $7,155,025 this year if the program is fully funded. For comparison, about $41.2 million would go to Anchorage, $18.36 million to Mat-Su and $ 8.8 million to Fairbanks. Watt stated the city could face an additional cost of $3.55 million or $7.1 million in fiscal year 2020, or up to $23 million over the next five fiscal years. “We’re really waiting on the state to settle on fiscal certainty,” Watt said.

Rorie Watt said in an interview that an extended ban on reimbursement projects will likely mean putting more local money into smaller projects during the moratorium and attempting to delay larger projects until reimbursements resume. The moratorium would allow the Legislature more time to review school bond debt reimbursement while not taking on more debt and potentially reestablish a reimbursement program at a new funding level. If the bill becomes law, reimbursement for approved projects would resume at 50% and 40% levels after July 1, 2025. “We’ve got hard decisions to make, and we’ve got to make the the right ones,” said Sen. Mike Shower, R-Wasilla during the meeting. “Even in the Mat-Su where we’re growing, I’m willing support this for now.” A spreadsheet referenced during the meeting put the state’s liability for existing debt at more than $800 million.

There was even a huge “Made in Alaska” sticker on the side of the boat that Stedman said was a pleasant surprise to him. Juneau resident Christopher Coutu, touring the vessel with his wife and children, said the significance of the ferry’s in-state construction wasn’t lost on them. “It’s exciting, I think, having a ship built in Alaska by Alaskans for Alaskans,” Coutu said, “and then coming in here and letting Alaskans come and look through the ship before its maiden voyage, I think it’s just great.” The vessel was built specifically to withstand the rough conditions in Lynn Canal, DOT&PF Deputy Director Mary Siroky said on board.

coming year, yet until their budget process is completed and signed, it is myopic to overspend now,” the memo reads. “Hedging on our future ability to provide funding that we may not have only makes our situation potentially worse.” The supplemental funding ordinance is an effort to keep some of the district’s
non-tenured teachers. A memo from the ordinance says the additional funding would allow the school district to retain some nontenured staff for the 2020 school year, and to also potentially provide a cushion to other potential state funding reductions. In his Monday memo, Pierce says he will continue
to advocate for the district to reduce expenditures outside of the classroom, “… rather than holding their teaching positions hostage while simultaneously advocating for other non-essential, nonclassroom positions,” the memo said. In order to overturn the veto, the assembly would need a 6-3 vote.
bought a dozen buses to pick up children for Sunday services, hoping their parents would also attend. By the mid-1970s, the church had bought land for its current building on Anchorage’s east side. In 1992, the church added a 43,000-square-foot auditorium. An education arm, Anchorage Christian Schools, educates about 700 children. Prevo has had significant influence on Republican politics. On Sunday, Prevo said he has met every president from Jimmy Carter to Don-
ald Trump except for Barack Obama. Prevo has been outspoken on what he calls “moral political issues.” Critics of his stand against rights for LGBTQ people welcomed his retirement. Prevo’s influence waned as he used his platform to preach intolerance, said Christopher Constant, an Anchorage Assembly member and one of the first openly gay elected officials in the city. “The people of Anchorage don’t stand for that,”
Constant said. The church voted Sunday to make Prevo a pastor emeritus and pay him a retirement salary. Prevo in a phone interview said he plans to stay involved with some aspects of the Anchorage Baptist Temple’s work and Graham’s charity, Samaritan’s Purse. He also said he wants to get out of the way of his replacement, Pastor Ron Hoffman, a longtime Anchorage Baptist Temple staff member who grew up in Anchorage.
of the tumultuous seas, she said. Siroky said public feedback was vital in the process. At one point, the ferry was going to have an openair car area, but members of the public were vehemently opposed to exposing their cars to the sea spray, so the Tazlina’s vehicle area is enclosed. The ferry will make the same two runs three times per week, DOT&PF spokesperson Aurah Landau said. The first day run will be Juneau to Haines, then Haines to Skagway, then Skagway to Haines. The ship will stay in Haines overnight. The next day, it will sail to Skagway, then back to Haines, and then to Juneau. The ship will then start that cycle over, and do it a total of three times per week. The first voyage with passengers is scheduled for 7 a.m. Tuesday, and AMHS General Manager John Falvey said there are still tickets available. While most of the feedback Sunday was positive, there were still concerns about the ferry system’s long-term future and how the Tazlina fits into that. With no crew quarters on
the Tazlina, for example, the ship can only sail in 12-hour increments. There’s been talk about adding a new ferry terminal to make the runs shorter, but any change to the infrastructure is still likely a few years off. Rep. Sara Hannan, D-Juneau, said it was fun to look around at the engine room and rest of the vessel, but she couldn’t help but worry about the future. “It’s something new and sparkly, so that’s great,” Hannan said, “and making sure we continue to have great service up Lynn Canal. That’s great, but there are mixed emotions around the long-term planning and what we’re going to do and how we’re going to serve the region.” The marine highway’s short-term future is also uncertain. Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration proposed cutting ferry service off at the beginning of September for the winter. The Alaska Senate has a proposal to keep the ferries running in the winter but with reduced service. Siroky said that under the Senate’s plan, the ferry runs that bring in the most money would get the most service
this winter. The most lucrative runs are the ones from Bellingham, she said. Runs to smaller communities are on the opposite end of the spectrum. “Frankly, the village runs don’t make a lot of money, so those communities will probably see a little less service,” Siroky said. As part of Dunleavy’s plan, the state has contracted with Northern Economics to do a study into the best way to move forward with the marine highway. The other bidder, MAP Consulting LLC, submitted a lower bid but was passed over, the Associated Press reported last month. MAP Consulting is challenging the bid, according the report. As he watched hundreds of friends and neighbors flood the Tazlina, Coutu said Sunday’s event serves as an example to lawmakers about how vital the ferries are to Alaskans. “At a time where they keep talking about budget cuts and budget cuts for the ferries, it’s really good to see investment in the marine highway system,” Coutu said. “It’s important, and I think the turnout today shows how important it is.”

What others say
Warren misses the mark with student loan plan The bidding war for votes
in the Democratic presidential primary escalated quickly this week with a proposal by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren to wipe out student debt, courtesy of the taxpayers. Warren’s proposal, put forward not in proposed legislation but in a blog post, would cancel up to $50,000 of student debt for every American with household income under $100,000. Individuals with household incomes up to $250,000 would also get debt relief, though not quite as much. She says this will benefit 95% of the 45 million Americans who are carrying student debt. The proposal is estimated to cost $1.25 trillion over 10 years. Warren says the money would come from a plan she previously proposed — a tax on accumulations of wealth collecting 2% of $50 million or more of household net worth, and an extra 1% on $1 billion and up. Assuming nobody leaves the country over it, the tax would hit about 75,000 families and raise $2.75 trillion over 10 years. Warren also wants to spend $100 billion expanding Pell grants to cover non-tuition expenses, and make public colleges tuition-free. The wealth tax might raise more legal challenges than revenue. The Constitution prohibits any national “direct” tax not collected evenly from the states, based on population. The income tax was unconstitutional until the Constitution was amended in 1913. An additional tax on “wealth” that has already been taxed as income might run into trouble at the Supreme Court. But even without debating the legality of a wealth tax, the idea of canceling student debt by having taxpayers cover it is terrible. Start with the problem of fundamental fairness — student debt would be canceled for all incomeeligible borrowers with outstanding loans without regard to financial need, so even people who are working and able to make regular payments would get the bailout. On the other hand, people who did not take out loans they couldn’t afford to repay, and people who already repaid their loans, would be out $50,000 for making responsible financial decisions. Then there’s the problem of moral hazard: If the taxpayers pay the debts of everyone with outstanding student loans, how will that affect the decisions made by current students thinking about their choices for financing higher education? What’s the message? Borrow as much as you can and wait for the debt to be canceled during the next presidential primary campaign? The proposal certainly doesn’t encourage restraint in tuition increases. Universities considering whether to raise tuition could reasonably believe there’s no need to hold the line when the new policy is to step in and generously pay off old student loans with somebody else’s money. It’s also troubling to hear a sitting United States senator so casually proposing the confiscation of some people’s property so it can be given to other people. Warren has also put forward a proposal for a “Real Corporate Tax” that would collect $1 trillion over 10 years as well as an increase in the estate tax. Student debt weighs on millions of Americans and on the economy more broadly as people find it more difficult to obtain credit or make major purchases. Serious proposals for new repayment plans and eventual debt forgiveness deserve consideration and debate in this presidential race. But Warren’s plan doesn’t. — The Orange County Register, April 26

UA fully committed to the student experience A laska V oices J im J ohnsen This time of year, many Alaskans are focused on Juneau. That makes sense given the important decisions being made in our capitol, including funding for education from pre-school through to the University of Alaska. While we are concerned about the uncertainty around our budget, we are not uncertain about our commitment to those who really matter to all of us at the University of Alaska — our students. That’s because this is the time of year when thousands of UA graduates will cross a stage, receive their diploma, and move out into the world. We celebrate these impressive men and women and their achievements at every level — from occupational endorsements to doctorates — and I am proud of each and every one of them for their success. Earning a workforce endorsement or college degree requires hard work and dedication, and it is the university’s job to make the student experience as valuable, rewarding and efficient as possible. We’re not always perfect, but we are committed to providing an exceptional experience for our students as they prepare for their chosen profession and for success in an increasingly competitive world. To enable prospective students to explore the entire UA system for the program best suited to their interests we’ve created an accessible website to open all the options available at UA. Through this new virtual gateway — myfuture. alaska.edu — prospective students can create a profile and explore programs at any or all of UA’s campuses. Regardless of whether a student is new to higher education or has attended before, myfuture.alaska.edu provides information on choosing a degree, transferring credits, navigating programs, finding financial
support, and other resources to help them on their higher education journey. Along the way, our students will find opportunities for real world experiences both inside and outside of the classroom that are unique to Alaska and made possible by our many partnerships with local employers. Pilot training, nursing and mining internships, and more are all a part of the UA experience. In Anchorage, UAA students in our Data Science and Artificial Intelligence program will soon be able to participate in an academic partnership with one of our state’s premier financial management firms. In Fairbanks, UA partners with the mining industry — a major driver of the Alaska economy. Teck Red Dog asked the university for help on mineral recovery and water remediation issues, and we responded. Multiple mines also partner with UA on federal grant research, which has led to the development of the nation’s first mill operator occupational endorsement program, and a mill simulator for training. In Kenai and Delta, our Mining and Petroleum Training Service [MAPTS] program, in partnership with scores of businesses, has provided more than 100,000 Alaskans with training and development or new occupational skills to meet the growing need for highly skilled resource development workforce. The university has a long history of serving both the educational needs of students and the workforce needs of the state through career and technical training. We’ve reduced tuition in more than 300 of these courses to encourage more Alaskans to gain these valuable skills. These programs are also ideal for employers looking to cost effectively develop employees’ skills and for individuals looking to change careers or increase their credentials. These are just a few examples of our commitment to the state and its goal of 65% of working-age Alaskans having a postsecondary credential by the year 2025. To reach this goal, we are committed to serving all students: those new, returning, or continuing their post-secondary education. And we are commit-
ted to doing so in innovative ways, including affordable, high-quality online programs. UA looks to the future with optimism and vision. So let me give you a sneak peek at what UA might look like in 2040. At www.alaska.edu/UA2040, we visualize that future. The interactive website demonstrates how UA puts its complete focus on meeting our students’ educational interests through innovative programs that meet needs and create opportunities for a strong future for Alaska. UA is working hard to modernize, to be more user-friendly and accessible to students and employers in all parts of the state including updating our administrative functions. In early May, we announced a redesign of our human resources services by consolidating four administrative human resources offices into one. A single HR office with key staff at each university will improve service and reduce costs through process standardization, improvement, and automation. Despite year after year of funding cuts from the state, the University of Alaska is strong. We are the state’s largest source of a skilled workforce, from nurses, accountants and engineers to educators and project managers. We lead the world in Arctic research and we serve Alaskans all across the state with practical knowledge about agriculture, fish processing, and a host of other topics that are important in our daily lives. Yes, the university has many challenges, including uncertainty about our state funding. But as Alaskans have done for literally thousands of years, we face our challenges with certainty in our commitment to provide our people the skills, the knowledge, and the drive to build the Alaska we all want. So while we await decisions from Juneau, I ask that you join your university in celebrating our graduates with confidence that they are prepared to lead the way to Alaska’s future.
very slow moving project that has been going on for over 18 years — a public boat launch along the 36 Mile Funny River collector road infrastructure. A public boat launch on our side of the Kenai River is absolutely needed. The benefits are clear. For example do you know that: There are 16 public boat launches on the north side of the Kenai River drainage. Except for the city of Soldotna’s Centennial Park, there is not one public boat launch along the south side of the Kenai River drainage. There are 2,153 platted residential lots and a variety of business here, and the number of full-time residents is growing very quickly now that natural gas is available. The Funny River Chamber of Commerce and Community Association Board of Directors formally endorsed the absolute need for a public boat launch in September 2004 as recommended in the Economic Development Plan for the community Public bank fishing along the Funny River Road corridor has become very limited to almost nonexistent because of the closure of bank fishing by the state, and without a public boat launch you must drive to the lower river to bank fish. The most promising site for a public boat launch is, and has always been,
where the 146-acre Hansen Ranch property was, which is now owned by the state and now also closed to all bank fishing as it was believed in 2004 that all that was necessary was to improve the existing boat launch site that had been in continuous use since 1947. And most importantly, access to this state-owned site would not impact upon any established subdivision and, with minor improvements, you could launch your boat off current if the entrance to the launch site was directly across from the Bird Golf Course through the “old horse pasture.” Yes, off current, not like the Pillars or Kasilof. The way things are now is not RIGHT. We as a community need to stand up, get organized and say enough is enough. My community deserves the same infrastructure as that provided in the lower Kenai and the Kasilof Rivers with new and improved and public boat launches. As a community we need to have legal access to a safe boat launch. In summary, as a community we need start making “noise” to our elected officials to get this project off of dead zero while the state continues to throw up every excuse and obstacle it can generate or facilitate to simply wear us down and hope we just die and go away.
Jim Johnsen is the president of the University of Alaska.
Letter to the Editor Time for a boat launch in Funny River What’s Wrong With This Picture? As a member of the Funny River Community for the past 40-plus years, I have been privileged to know and learn from the few remaining original pioneer builders of this area. They had the rare can-do way about them, along with an untiring spirit to get things done that improved the community here for everyone. Our beautiful community here in Funny River has developed through the years — to the extent that we are now living in the most sought-after place to make a home on the peninsula. Just look at the things that have been done to improve our way of life: • Community center building with later expansions • New church • New fire station • Natural gas • Convenience store • Golf course • Fish guiding services These things did not just happen. A lot of effort and heated “battles” were involved. And because of that can-do attitude and get-things-done spirit that live on in many of our younger residents, we won; we improved our way of life. However, we now find ourselves in a

Nation/World US sending aircraft carrier to Mideast By LOLITA BALDOR and ZEKE MILLER Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. is sending an aircraft carrier group to the Middle East ahead of schedule and warning that Iran and its proxy forces are showing “troubling and escalatory” indications of a possible attack on American forces in the region. Exactly what prompted the action was unclear, but it marked a further step in sharply rising tensions between the Trump administration and the Islamic Republic. National Security Adviser John Bolton said Sunday night the U.S. was deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Middle East, intending to send a message that “unrelenting force” will meet any attack on American forces or allies. “The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or regular Ira-
nian forces,” he said. Neither Bolton nor other officials would provide any details about the supposed threat, which comes as the Trump administration wages a campaign of intensifying pressure against Iran and nearly a year after it withdrew from an Obamaera nuclear deal with Tehran. In Iran, the semi-official ISNA news agency on Monday quoted an anonymous official as saying that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani planned a broadcast address Wednesday and might discuss “counteractions” Tehran will take over America’s withdrawal from the international nuclear deal. The agreement limited Iran’s enrichment of uranium amid Western concerns that Tehran’s program could allow it to build nuclear weapons. Iran insists its program is for peaceful purposes. With its pressure campaign, the U.S. administration is trying to get Iran to halt activities such as supporting militant activities that destabilize the Middle East and threaten U.S. al-

lies, including Israel, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said. “Our objective is to get the Islamic Republic of Iran to behave like a normal nation,” Pompeo told reporters during a visit to Finland. “When they do that, we will welcome them back.” The order to the carrier group would get the Abraham Lincoln into the Middle East about two weeks earlier than initially planned following exercises in the Mediterranean region, according to a U.S. defense official who wasn’t authorized to speak
publicly, so spoke on the condition of anonymity. It forces the ships to cancel a planned stop in Croatia. For years, the U.S. maintained a carrier presence in the Persian Gulf and Middle East region. During the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there were two carriers in the area, but that was reduced to one. Last year the administration decided to end the continuous carrier presence, and send a strike group only intermittently into the region. The U.S. Navy currently has no aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf.
US plans to hike tariffs Friday, claims China broke promises

WASHINGTON — Accusing Beijing of “reneging” on commitments it made in earlier talks, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said Monday that the Trump administration will increase its tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods early Friday, a sharp escalation in a yearlong trade dispute. At the same time, a Chinese trade delegation is expected to arrive in Washington to resume negotiations on Thursday, a day later than originally planned. Treasury Secretary Ste-
ven Mnuchin, who briefed reporters with Lighthizer, said that Trump officials learned over the weekend that Chinese officials “were trying to go back on some of the language” that had been negotiated in 10 earlier rounds of talks. Mnuchin and Lighthizer offered no details of China’s alleged backsliding, and there was no immediate response from Beijing. The U.S. officials said that at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time Friday, the administration will raise tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports from 10% to 25%. President Donald Trump had announced plans to raise those tariffs via Twitter on Sunday, expressing
frustration with the pace of negotiations. The reiteration Monday of the president’s threat from three high-level Trump officials reinforced the administration’s determination to throw Beijing on the defensive. By threatening to raise taxes on Chinese imports, Trump is throwing down a challenge to Beijing: Agree to sweeping changes in China’s government-dominated economic model — or suffer the consequences. The unexpected ultimatum shook up financial markets, which had expected the world’s two biggest economies to resolve a yearlong standoff over trade, perhaps by the end of the week. “It’s a significant change in the president’s tone,” said Timothy Keeler, a partner at the law firm Mayer Brown and former chief of staff for the U.S. Trade Representative. “It certainly increases the possibility that you’ll have no deal.” For weeks, Trump administration officials had been suggesting that the U.S. and Chinese negotiators were making steady progress.
Suddenly on Sunday, Trump said he had lost patience: “The Trade Deal with China continues, but too slowly, as they attempt to renegotiate. No!” he tweeted. Trump also said he planned “shortly” to slap 25% tariffs on another $325 billion in Chinese products, covering everything China ships to the United States. The two countries are engaged in high-stakes commercial combat over China’s aggressive push to establish Chinese companies as world leaders in cutting-edge fields such as robotics and electric vehicles. The United States accuses Beijing of predatory practices, including hacking into U.S. companies’ computers to steal trade secrets, forcing foreign firms to hand over technology in exchange for access to the Chinese market and unfairly subsidizing Chinese firms at the expense of foreign competitors. The Trump administration has imposed 10% tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports and 25% tariffs on another $50 billion. The Chinese have retaliated by targeting $110 billion in U.S. imports.
Israel’s Gaza blockade under scrutiny after latest violence By JOSEF FEDERMAN Associated Press
JERUSALEM — For 12 years, Israel has maintained a blockade over the Gaza Strip, seeking to weaken the territory’s militant Hamas rulers. And for 12 years, Hamas has remained firmly in power, developing a thriving homegrown weapons industry along the way. This weekend’s violence, the worst in a string of flare-ups since a 2014 war, provided the latest illustration of the limitations of the blockade and fueled calls Monday in Israel for a rethinking of the longstanding policy, which many see as ineffective and even counterproductive. “Israel, similar to the leaders in Gaza, must look forward. Only an economic solution to the Gaza Strip, and orderly work, will bring quiet and money and dignity,” Smadar Peri, a veteran Israeli defense commentator, wrote in the Yediot Ahronot daily. “It would be a very good idea, in tandem with the umpteenth talks on a cease-fire, to decide to steer toward a businesslike dialogue.” This will be no easy
task. Israel and Hamas are bitter enemies that have fought three wars since the Islamic group seized control of Gaza from the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority in 2007. Israel considers Hamas, which seeks Israel’s destruction, a terrorist group, while Hamas sees Israel as an illegal occupier. They do not speak to one another, communicating through Egyptian, Qatari and U.N. mediators. The Israeli blockade has been a driving factor in the three wars, numerous smaller battles and countless rounds of negotiations over the years as Hamas demands an easing of the closure in exchange for a halt in rocket fire. Israel and Egypt, which borders Gaza to the south, imposed the blockade after the 2007 Hamas takeover, seeking to prevent Hamas from smuggling weapons into the territory. Since then, Israel has controlled Gaza’s airspace and coastline, and restricted the flow of goods and people in and out of the territory. Eitan Dangot, the former commander of COGAT, the Israeli defense body responsible for Pales-
Around the Nation
tinian civilian affairs, said Israel has no choice but to enforce the blockade. “Because Hamas has refused to accept Israel as a state, refused to move toward disarmament, refused
to declare a long-term cease-fire and stop launching rockets, we have all the right to maintain the blockade as long as we can avert a humanitarian crisis,” he said.
WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker is proposing that all gun owners be licensed by the federal government, a process that would include an interview and safety training. National licensing is one of more than a dozen specific proposals in a sweeping gun control agenda the U.S. senator from New Jersey released on Monday. It’s his second policy rollout in three weeks as he tries to break through the crowded Democratic primary field . While current gun owners and first-time buyers would be subject to the federal license requirement, a transition period would allow current owners to come into compliance, the Booker campaign said. No such national gun license program currently exists. Thirteen states and the District of Columbia have enacted some form of licensing or permit rules before people can buy guns, according to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “I am sick and tired of hearing thoughts and prayers for the communities that have been shattered by gun violence — it is time for bold action,” Booker said in a statement. Last month during a high-profile speech in his hometown of Newark, Booker vowed to “bring a fight” to the National Rifle Association, which generally opposes gun restrictions. Booker, a former mayor of Newark, New Jersey’s largest city, said gun violence is an issue close to him, with several people being shot in his neighborhood recently. “We must step up and deal with something that is crushing communities, destroying lives and really just tearing apart families,” Booker said in an interview on CBS’ “CBS This Morning.” Booker’s gun control agenda includes universal background checks for gun buyers; the reinstitution of a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity firearm magazines; and the modernization of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Student who charged a campus gunman remembered as a hero WAYNESVILLE, N.C. — Family, hundreds of friends and a military honor guard on Sunday remembered a North Carolina college student credited with saving classmates by rushing a gunman firing inside their lecture hall. Riley Howell, 21, was fatally shot Tuesday while tackling the gunman accused of killing Howell and one other person and wounding four more at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Howell has been called a hero. “A man I never knew is now a man I’ll never forget,” the Rev. Robert Blackburn remembered one young man’s sign reading as Howell’s body was returned earlier this week to his hometown in the Blue Ridge Mountains. His memorial service was held Sunday at a 1,900-seat auditorium on the grounds of a Methodist retreat on Lake Junaluska. Blackburn opened the service by asking participants to remember the horror of the shooting, pray for the other victims, and offer compassion for the family of the man arrested in the case, Trystan Andrew Terrell. Terrell, a 22-year-old former UNC-Charlotte student, has been charged with first-degree murder, firstdegree attempted murder and other offenses in connection with the attack. A military honor guard outside the auditorium stood at attention as a trumpeter played through open doors. Howell had been enrolled in a second semester of college ROTC courses at UNC-Charlotte, though he wasn’t among those pursuing a career as a military officer, said Lt. Col. Chunka Smith, who runs the school’s Army ROTC program. Howell’s mother received a folded American flag from a military honor guard, which came on stage during the memorial. Howell was a big-hearted, affectionate person with an adventurous streak who loved Star Wars and superhero tales, his siblings recounted. Riley “unapologetically lived as who he was” and set an example to be “bigger than the small things this world wants us to be hung up on,” said his sister Iris. “My superhero doesn’t wear a cape, he wears Tevas,” said his brother Teddy. — The Associated Press

Kenai Central soccer sweeps Soldotna By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
The Kenai Central soccer teams traveled to Soldotna and came away with a sweep Monday in Peninsula Conference action between the rivals. The Kardinals girls received two goals from senior captain Olivia Brewer in notching a 2-1 victory and moving to 5-3-3 overall and 4-0-2 in the league, while the Stars fell to 8-5-2 and 2-1-2. In the boys game, Leif Lofquist scored twice in a 3-0 victory that sent the Kards to 7-3-2 and 5-0-1 marks, while SoHi dropped to 9-6-0 and 3-2-0. Kenai girls coach Dan Verkuilen said the win was emotional because Brewer wanted it so badly. “It was the last time playing SoHi on our fields, and she wanted to walk off with a win,” said Verkuilen, whose team had tied SoHi at 1 on April 22. “It’s a healthy competition with them. We love all the players on both teams, but we do love to beat them.” In the tie earlier this season, the theme was Kenai going more aggressively to the ball. That continued Monday. “I was not happy with how they were going to the ball,” Soldotna girls coach Jimmy Love said. “They wanted it
more than we did and that’s why they won the game.” Verkuilen said giving a talented team like SoHi time and space when attacking is simply not an option. “Our team goal was to be first going to the ball and, as a whole, I think we probably did that,” Verkuilen said. With both teams playing stout defense, there were not a lot of golden scoring chances. Brewer made the most of a shot from about 35 yards out with three minutes left in the half, drilling it into the upper reaches of the net. In the second half, Verkuilen said his squad worked on cutting down the gap between the forwards and the midfield. That resulted in more pressure and 14 minutes into the half Alyssa Bucho won a penalty kick by getting fouled in the box. Brewer calmly tucked it away for a 2-0 lead. With about 18 minutes left, Soldotna badly needed a spark and got it when Kenai handled the ball in the penalty box, leading to a goal by Meijan Leaf. With the momentum, Soldotna started getting to the ball better, but could not crack the Kenai defense. Love said the Stars should have played like that the entire game. “Too little, too late would be my response to that,” he said.
Truex Jr. triumphs at Dover By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer
DOVER, Del. — Martin Truex Jr. stood next to the 60-pound metallic gold Monster trophy on the victory lane stage and was uncertain about how many fingers he should flash for his celebratory photo. “Two for the season or three for Dover?” Truex asked. How about one of each? Truex solved his snapshot situation about as efficiently as he weaved through traffic from the back of the field to win a Monday race at Dover International Speedway for the second time in his Cup career.

The Stars were without freshman scoring sensation Rhys Cannava, who received a red card Saturday against Wasilla, but Love said players should have been able to step up and fill Cannava’s role. Verkuilen praised the effort of Brewer, and also said Karley Harden worked hard up front. Alissa Maw, Jenna Streiff and Damaris Severson were a wall in back, while Taylor Pierce continues to show more patience and touch in the midfield. Kenai boys 3, Soldotna 0 The Kardinals, who defeated the Stars 4-2 on April 22, notched a sweep in the regular season series. Lofquist, a sophomore, gave the Soldotna defense fits, proving time and again he’s one of those players who can put his head down and work through three or four defenders. “Leif — he’s a lethal, lethal guy,” Soldotna head coach David Holmes said. “If he’s able to turn and face you, it’s almost like it’s over.” Holmes said the plan was to get the ball from Lofquist while he still had his back to the goal, but that plan broke down just three minutes into the game when defender

Rays defeat Diamondbacks By The Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell took a perfect game into the sixth inning and Tommy Pham hit his first career grand slam, leading the Tampa Bay Rays over the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-1 on Monday night. Snell (3-3) rebounded from allowing a career-high seven runs over three innings of an 8-2 loss at Kansas City last week to hold the Diamondbacks without a hit until Ildemaro Vargas singled with two outs in the sixth. Snell got out of the inning and finished with nine strikeouts in an 83-pitch outing. PADRES 4, METS 0 SAN DIEGO — Pumpedup rookie Chris Paddack struck out a career-high 11 to outduel NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom, and Hunter Renfroe homered for San Diego against New York.

ball, and the dynamic forward did the rest. “Leif got great tutelage from probably the greatest Kenai striker of all time in Zack Tuttle,” Kenai head coach Shane Lopez said. “By the end of the season, Zack was always feeding Leaf for goals. It was almost like the passing of the torch.” Lopez also was quick to point out that Lofquist’s teammates make the for-
ward dangerous, particularly playmakers like Redder and Tomas Levy-Canedo. “I’m so proud of the guys,” Lopez said. “They worked so hard for each other and took care of each other on the pitch.” With just four minutes left in the half, Redder stormed through the midfield and pushed the ball to Levy-Canedo, who immediately found Nate Beiser with a step on his defender in the box. Beiser turned and finished. SoHi did have its opportunities to get back in the game. In the seventh minute
Rockets even series with Warriors By The Associated Press
HOUSTON — James Harden scored 38 points and the Houston Rockets held on for a 112-108 win over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night to even their Western Conference semifinals series at 2-2. The Rockets were up by nine before the Golden State scored the next seven points, capped by a 3 from Stephen Curry, to get within 110-108 with 19 seconds left. Harden made one of two free throws with 11.5 seconds left. Kevin Durant missed a 3 after that. But the Warriors got the rebound and Curry also missed a 3-point attempt before Golden State was forced to foul Chris Paul. He made one of two free throws with 2.9 seconds left to secure the victory.
After losing the first two games of the series on the road, the Rockets head back to Golden State for Game 5 on Wednesday night with momentum on their side after their overtime win in Game 3 before Monday night’s victory. The Warriors got 34 points from Kevin Durant, who had 46 in the Game 3 loss. BUCKS 113, CELTICS 101 BOSTON — Giannis Antetokounmpo had 39 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Bucks to a victory over the Celtics in Game 4 of their second-round playoff series and move Milwaukee within one win from its first trip to the Eastern Conference finals since 2001. The Bucks have won three straight since losing the opener of the best-of-
seven series at home. They can eliminate the Celtics in Game 5 at home on Wednesday night and reach the East finals for the first time since the ‘01 team of Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson fell to Philadelphia’s Allen Iverson and Dikembe Mutombo in seven games. One game after Antetokounmpo was two assists shy of a triple-double, he scored 17 points with seven rebounds in the fourth quarter to help the Bucks pull away. Reserves George Hill, who scored 15 points, and Pat Connaughton, who had nine points and 10 rebounds, again led the Bucks bench, which outscored Boston’s 32-7. In what might be his last home game for the Celtics, Kyrie Irving scored 23 points with 10 assists. But he was 7 for 22 from the floor, including 1 for 7 from 3-point range; after leading all scorers with 26 points in Boston’s Game 1 blowout, he has made 19 of 62 shots and just 4 of 20 from 3-point range.
Bruins top Blue Jackets, advance first career overtime playoff goal was a bit complicated: Dump in the puck, hit a guy along the boards, fall down, scramble back up, skate toward the net and knock it in. The captain’s reaction right after was not — a big, toothy grin with arms raised to greet eager teammates. Landeskog scored 2:32 into overtime after Colorado squandered a late lead in regulation and the Avalanche beat the San Jose Sharks 4-3 on Monday night to force a decisive Game 7 in their Western Conference semifinal series. “To do that, on home ice, it’s very exciting,” Landeskog said. “I haven’t been happy with my offensive output this time of year. I haven’t been dangerous enough.” He was certainly a danger on the final play. Landeskog charged after a puck he banged into the zone and then hit Erik Karlsson with enough force to knock off the Sharks defenseman’s helmet. Landeskog got back up, took the pass from rookie defenseman Cale Makar and sent it by Martin Jones to help the Avalanche escape elimination. Game 7 is Wednesday in San Jose. The winner will play either Dallas or St. Louis in the conference final. The Stars and Blues are tied heading into Game 7 in St. Louis on Tuesday. The Sharks are 7-4 all-time in Game 7s, including an overtime win over Vegas in the first round, while the Avalanche have a 4-6 mark since relocating to the Mile High City. “Sixty minutes away from a Western AVALANCHE 4, SHARKS 3, OT Conference final,” Landeskog said. “Who DENVER — Gabriel Landeskog’s would have thought before the season? ...
By The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Tuukka Rask made 39 saves and recorded his sixth career playoff shutout as the Boston Bruins beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-0 Monday night to clinch their second-round series and advance to the Eastern Conference final. Rask was supported by great defensive play in front of the net in the Bruins’ third straight victory for a 4-2 win in the best-of-seven series, which came despite being outshot 39-29 in Game 6. Boston advances to face the Carolina Hurricanes, who swept the New York Islanders in four games. The Bruins advanced to the Eastern Conference final for the first time since the 2012-13 season, when they lost in the Stanley Cup finals. David Krejci scored in the first period, and Marcus Johansson and David Backes had third-period goals for the Bruins, who gave up four power plays to the Blue Jackets but stonewalled Columbus on a number of chances. Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky had an outstanding postseason but allowed two quick goals in the third period that sealed another hard, tight-checking game and the series for Boston.
The last thing they wanted to do was play another one in San Jose. We accomplished step No. 1 and now we have to regroup and win another one.” J.T. Compher scored twice and had an assist, while Tyson Jost added another goal. Philipp Grubauer made 19 saves, including a pad save on Tomas Hertl early in OT. Marc-Edouard Vlasic scored twice, including the tying goal off the skate of an Avalanche defenseman with 2:28 remaining, and Brent Burns added another for the Sharks, who overcame one-goal deficits on three occasions. “We were positive. We felt like we could win this game,” Sharks forward Logan Couture said. “We just needed a little bit more. We needed a little bit more people involved in the game.” This has been a back-and-forth series. San Jose captured Game 1 and the two have alternated wins the rest of the way. The combined score in the series is 17-16 in favor of the Sharks. “It’s been punch, counter-punch, punch,” Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. “What did they do tonight that we didn’t do? They found a way to get an extra goal.” Colorado has been playing desperate hockey since late in the regular season just trying to sneak into the playoffs. The team went 8-0-2 down the stretch to secure the eighth seed. The Avs haven’t lost back-toback games since mid-March. “Every game was kind of an elimination game for us, so to speak,” defenseman Erik Johnson said.
of the second half, SoHi’s Kaleb Swank got on a cross right in front of goal, but he was contested and his sliding kick hit the crossbar and bounced out. Kenai jumped right into a counterattack and Lofquist was stymied by an excellent save by Hunter Woodward to keep the Stars from a devastating sequence. “Woody’s a great goalie,” Holmes said. “He’s been very important for us all season.” After breaking through against four defenders with eight minutes to play and again being stopped by
Woodward, Lofquist broke through to seal the game with two minutes to play. Levy-Canedo sent him a simple ball up the left sideline, and Lofquist broke down the defense himself from there. Goalie Braedon Pitsch and the Kenai defense were able to complete the shutout against SoHi’s dangerous trio of Swank, Alex Montague and Josh Heiber. “We’ve got a phenomenal group back there,” Lopez said. “We graduated all six in back, but the news guys have stepped up and come together.”
Today in History Today is Tuesday, May 7, the 127th day of 2019. There are 238 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 7, 1945, Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in Rheims (rams), France, ending its role in World War II. On this date: In 1763, Pontiac, chief of the Ottawa Indians, attempted to lead a sneak attack on British-held Fort Detroit, but was foiled because the British had been tipped off in advance. In 1789, America’s first inaugural ball was held in New York in honor of President George Washington, who had taken the oath of office a week earlier. In 1915, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the British liner RMS Lusitania off the southern coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 people, including 128 Americans, out of the nearly 2,000 on board. In 1939, Germany and Italy announced a military and political alliance known as the Rome-Berlin Axis. In 1945, the 1944 Pulitzer Prizes were awarded; winners included John Hersey for his novel “A Bell for Adano,” Mary Chase for her play “Harvey,” and Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal for his picture of the Iwo Jima flag-raising. In 1954, the 55-day Battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam ended with Vietnamese insurgents overrunning French forces. In 1963, the United States launched the Telstar 2 communications satellite. In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford formally declared an end to the “Vietnam era.” In Ho Chi Minh City -- formerly Saigon -- the Viet Cong celebrated its takeover.

In 1992, the latest addition to America’s space shuttle fleet, Endeavour, went on its first flight. In 1998, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz agreed to buy Chrysler Corp. for more than $37 billion. Londoners voted overwhelmingly to elect their own mayor for the first time in history. (In May 2000, Ken Livingstone was elected.) In 2004, Army Pfc. Lynndie England, shown in photographs smiling and pointing at naked Iraqi prisoners, was charged by the military with assaulting the detainees and conspiring to mistreat them. (England was later convicted of conspiracy, mistreating detainees and committing an indecent act, and sentenced to 36 months; she served half that term.) Ten years ago: A federal jury in Paducah, Kentucky, convicted a former soldier, Steven Dale Green, of raping and fatally shooting a 14-year-old girl after killing her parents and younger sister while he was serving in Iraq. (Green was sentenced to life without possibility of parole; he hanged himself in prison in February 2014.) Former Illinois police Sgt. Drew Peterson was indicted for murder in the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. (Peterson was convicted of murdering Savio, and was sentenced to 38 years in prison.) Mickey Carroll, one of the last surviving Munchkins from the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz,” died in Crestwood, Missouri, at age 89. Five years ago: Russian President Vladimir Putin softened his tone in a confrontation with the West, declaring that he had pulled his troops away from the Ukrainian border. The Nation’s Report Card said America’s high school seniors lacked critical math and reading skills for an increasingly competitive global economy. The International Olympic Committee awarded the exclusive U.S. broadcast rights to NBC for an additional six games in a record $7.75 billion deal. One year ago: First lady Melania Trump unveiled what she called the “Be Best” public awareness campaign to help children, focusing on childhood well-being, social media use and opioid abuse. Retired Lt. Col. Oliver North, the Marine at the center of the Iran-Contra affair in the Reagan administration, was named president of the National Rifle Association. New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced that he would be resigning from office after he was accused of physical violence by women with whom he had been involved; Schneiderman had been a high-profile advocate for women’s issues.

Tell your sister that if a family member is in trouble, THAT person should approach your parents and ask for help, not do it through you or another interme- Abigail Van Buren diary. DEAR ABBY: I have a 27-year-old son, “Bobby.” He was living with me and his grandma, and two years ago he got a puppy, which I took care of, pottytrained and fed. “Champ” even slept with me. Needless to say, he became a family dog, and my 83-year-old mom became quite attached to him. Bobby started dating a gal. After four months, they decided to move in together, and he took Champ with him. My mom has been crying every day for our pet. Because they both work, they leave Champ home alone all day, and he howls until they get home. I asked Bobby if we could have visitation once a week because we miss Champ so much. His girlfriend got involved and told me

BOOK SWAP Dear Heloise: I’m a teacher, and most of my fellow teachers and I participate in a book swap at school. We bring in old books and magazines we’ve already read for leisure, put them in the SWAP BOX and pick something we haven’t read. Fun, and cost-effective! -- Darryl R. in San Antonio PAPER JAM Dear Heloise: Help! The paper shredder got jammed! -- Heidi L. in California Heidi, your shredder may have a “reverse” switch. This will back out many particles of the paper. Try this first. If the jam isn’t cleared, unplug the shredder and wait until it’s cool to the touch. Take the top (the shredder head) off, and pull out the jammed paper from underneath. Carefully use a screwdriver, letter opener or tweezers to pick out more paper particles. As a last resort, soak a small amount of shredder oil onto the blades for about 30 minutes. This will dissolve the paper enough so it can break apart and pass through. -- Heloise PARTY WITH A PURPOSE Dear Heloise: We live in a retirement community, so we’re up in age. When was the last time you and your wife tried to flip a 150-pound mattress? I suggested a “Mattress Flippin’ Party” with some of the neighbors. A good social gathering with light snacks, etc. A lot of laughs. What a big help! -- John R., Hot Springs Village, Ark. Love it!

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, May 7, 2019: This year, you’ll have logic, endurance and wit on your team. You’ll like others’ responses. If single, your circle of friends will grow, as will the possibility of finding “the one.” Your ability to communicate adds power to a bond. If you’re attached, you and your partner enjoy relating to each other and can often be found chatting away together. GEMINI sometimes gives you an earful. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Confusion could add a degree of discouragement. If you don’t discipline your imagination, your mind could be rattled by endless possibilities. If possible, don’t react; stay even and caring. Start planning a mini vacation or schedule a special workshop you’ve been eyeing. Tonight: Relax to great music. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might feel overly possessive and jealous. Your insecurity might be the result of finding out something a loved one or friend refuses to share. You could feel as though someone is not working with you. Get some feedback. You just could be right. Tonight: Curb a sense of insecurity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your powerful attitude touches many diverse people and forces you to think. A partner could be tired and fatigued. With your sixth sense and a partner’s desire to move in closer, what you want could happen. Tonight: As you like it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Even with confusion and changes in plans, you know how you feel. Your lack of desire and energy is reflected in your interactions. Your caring comes in from left field. Tonight: Focus on extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Zero in on a long-term desire. A partner might offer you something that could be close to a dream. You could be discouraged by an associate’s negativity or unavailability. Your caring comes through. Tonight: Allow wildness to enter. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Stay on top of what’s important to

Champ is their dog and they are not sharing him. I was very upset since he was our dog for two years. I no longer have a relationship with my son over the dog and girlfriend, and my mother has a broken heart. Am I wrong here? -- CANINE WAR IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WAR: You weren’t wrong to be upset. Your mistake was letting the disagreement cause an estrangement from your son. If Champ’s incessant howling causes a problem for Bobby’s neighbors, he and his girlfriend might be receptive to letting you and Grandma take him while they are working. However, if they cannot see the logic, consider adopting a rescue dog to ease your mother’s aching heart and give her something else to love other than Champ. READER ALERT!

DEAR ABBY: My sister “Thea” has distanced herself from the family. I understand why she did. Our parents were mentally, physically and emotionally abusive while we were growing up, with one who instigated the issues and the other taking it out on us kids. I feel stuck in the middle of chaos. My parents have started to work on their behaviors and make amends for past conduct. It comes a bit too late for apologies, even for me, but I decided to give them a second chance since they seem sincere. Thea told them she wants nothing to do with them. Recently, she contacted me asking me to suggest that my parents help out a family member who was in dire straits. I told Thea I would suggest it, but I couldn’t guarantee what their response would be. Their response was that if she wanted something from them, she needed to ask them herself and not through an intermediary. I’m at a loss as to how to tell both sides that I’m tired of being the middleman, as this has become an emotional thing between all parties involved. I’m also not sure how to open the discussion for them to air their differences whether they reconcile or not. Help! -- STUCK IN THE MIDDLE DEAR STUCK: Thea has cut herself off

This mushroom season, a reminder to watch what you (and your dogs) eat Abby Spegman The Olympian (Olympia, Wash.)
As an amateur mycologist — that’s someone who studies fungi — Ellen King Rice was concerned to see mushrooms she thought were from the Amanita pantherina group sprouting near her home west of Olympia. These can be attractive
to dogs given their fishy smell, but can cause a coma-like sleep if eaten, according to the North American Mycological Association. They also can cause drowsiness, nausea and vomiting in people. Ah, spring: the sun is out, the birds are chirping — and the mushrooms are here, a good time to

Meet Gilbert Such a sweet, sweet boy. He has been through a lot recently and needs someone who will just love him and help him heal. We aren’t sure if it is from fighting or what but he has lots of scabs that are healing and he just wants love. This boy is just a love!!!
Meet Wayne Please ask to see this boy but move slow. He’s not used to being in a kennel but he’s now enjoying the attention. He loves to be petted and he even allows us to hold him now. He’s still a bit nervous with each and every new noise but he’s come a long way for a cat that’s spent most of his young life outside with no family.

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

even the coveted morel can cause problems if consumed raw or not thoroughly cooked. Maxwell said when it comes to people and pets, the best advice is don’t eat a mushroom unless you know what it is. She recommends not relying on pictures but seeking out expert advice or training in the field.

Meet Lovelace This boy takes some time to warm up to strangers. He prefers quiet solitude most of the time. Needs a home that allows him to just chill out and be left alone. He does enjoy being petted but he’s not extremely social.
Meet August Very nice boy but he does love to bark if no one is paying attention to him. He has a thick coat and will need someone to keep him groomed. He seems to like most of the dogs here at the shelter.
