In the news Problem bear shot in Anchorage; resident wounds Kodiak bear ANCHORAGE — Brown bears emerging from winter dens have caused problems in two Alaska communities. The Anchorage Daily News reports state biologists shot and killed a brown bear in the foothills above Anchorage. Alaska Department of Fish and Game spokesman Ken Marsh says the animal tried to enter a chicken pen and showed no fear of people. The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports wildlife officials are trying to track down a bear that was shot and wounded Tuesday night after it broke a screen door at a home in the foothills of Pillar Mountain. Kodiak police earlier Tuesday fired nonlethal rounds to drive the bear away from the city’s west side. A bear last month killed a resident’s dog. The owner says it’s the same bear but officials have not confirmed a connection.
Funeral held for 2 victims who died in village jail fire BETHEL — Two residents of the tiny southwest Alaska village of Napakiak who died in a jail fire have been laid to rest. People filled the Napakiak Moravian church on Wednesday for the funerals of Becca White and Isaiah Parka, who were described as best friends, soft-spoken and frequently together. Alaska’s Energy Desk reports the two were picked up for allegedly driving a four-wheeler while intoxicated on April 27. The jail fire broke out that night. The cause of the blaze, which also left a guard badly burned, remains under investigation. The community cleared away the charred remnants of the jail and placed two small, white crosses where they died. White was 24 and had a 3-year-old daughter. Parka was 22. — Associated Press

‘We get what we pay for’ Residents react to mayor’s veto of education funding By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
The public comment period at Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting was dominated by resident reactions to Mayor Charlie Pierce’s veto for supplemental funding for the school district. Impassioned testimony from residents who both opposed and supported the veto filled the allotted public testimony time during the meeting. Several people spoke in
support of the veto, but the majority of public comment opposed the veto, which was released Monday. First to testify during public comment time, Christine Hutchinson from Kenai said she was in support of the mayor and his veto. “I understand, without doing a headcount myself, enrollment numbers have dropped over the years,” Hutchinson said. “They have not increased … I am supportive of limiting the funding, just because funding
might be there. I also feel we don’t need to just keep growing, growing government.” Soldotna resident Fred Sturman said he was also in support of the veto because he doesn’t want to see any new taxes implemented to pay for increased education funding. “I am in favor of the mayor’s veto and his budget and everything,” Sturman said. “We don’t need any more new taxes. We need cuts.” Duane Bannock of Kenai said he supported the may-
or’s veto because no circumstances have warranted the supplemental funding. “There has been no unforeseen emergency since you passed the district’s budget,” Bannock said. “Nothing has changed. Nothing new has come in forms of new revenue or expenses.” Several school teachers and employees spoke in opposition to the mayor’s veto, including Patti Truesdell, who teaches in Hope. She raised four children in See VETO, page A2

In the business of adventure By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
Shop Talk Local Kenai resident Tiffany Brand has decided to start a new guided hiking service on the peninsula, but traversing the local trails is nothing new to her. Brand is starting her company, A Way in the Woods, after years of offering informal advice and leading excursions with her friends, family and associates on the best hikes in the area. Brand’s first tours will start June 1 and will run yearround. Clarion Reporter Brian Mazurek met with Brand and her son on Saturday for an interview and hike on the Vista Trail near the Upper Skilak Lake Campground. During the hike, Brand stopped periodically to point out moose tracks and berries (both edible and

poisonous) along the trail. Clarion: So what gave you the idea to start this guided hike service?
Brand: Well, I was encouraged by friends, mostly. I was surprised when they mentioned it. I hadn’t
really thought of it myself. I always thought that someone should. I guess I just needed encouragement
from the people that I’ve spent time doing these sorts of things with to show me that I should be the one to do it. I have a friendly nature and I like talking to people, and it seems that newcomers and visitors end up finding me and asking me these kinds of questions already. So I end up sharing my passions and the information I have about the area. Taking people out became part of it. Friends would ask me to do it and people who just moved here would ask me. So that’s kind of how it came about. Clarion: Did you look into similar businesses that offer these services for inspiration? Brand: Basically, I’m just going on my own experience and what I’ve seen. I’ve lived here over 20 years and I’m always active throughout the whole year. So I’m seeing what folks are enjoying and I was seeing a need. I was seeing a See SHOP, page A2
Debate arises over sex crime loophole By Alex McCarthy Juneau Empire
Across the country, state legislators are taking aim at a generations-old law that is in almost every state’s statutes: the ability to use marriage as a defense in certain instances of sexual assault and rape. This past week, that debate arose on the floor of the Alaska House as lawmakers made changes to House Bill 49. HB 49 repeals some portions of the controversial criminal justice reform legislation Senate Bill 91, but detractors said it doesn’t go far enough. Specifically, the lack of a repeal for the marriage as a

defense law, outlined in part in Alaska Statute 11.41.432,
exploded as a concern. As the Alaska Department of Law’s
Criminal Director John Skidmore explained to the Senate Finance Committee on Friday, marriage can be used as a defense in cases where a victim is mentally incapable, incapacitated or unaware that a sexual act is being performed. A May 4 Associated Press report stated that the Minnesota Legislature voted earlier that week to eliminate the exemption, and Ohio legislators are working to follow suit. Carmen Lowry, executive director of the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, said in an interview Friday that she hopes the Legislature can figure out a way to eliminate the
marriage defense. “We believe that just because you get married, you don’t lose your human rights and your rights as an autonomous being,” Lowry said. “We definitely believe that needs to be changed.” Rep. Sara Rasmussen, R-Anchorage, has been particularly vocal about this issue, and relayed a real-life example during a press conference Thursday morning. The example came from a statewide organization called Standing Together Against Rape (STAR). A woman was on medication after a surgery, Rasmussen detailed, and her husband See CRIME, page A2
LGBTQ equal rights bill unlikely Refurbished welcome to advance any further this year sign back on highway By Ben Hohenstatt Juneau Empire
A bill that would prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ Alaskans is unlikely to make it to the House floor before this legislative session wraps up. House Bill 82, which would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity expression, was
referred to the House Judiciary Committee late last month, but Rep. Andy Josephson, D-Anchorage, the bill’s sponsor, said it would be surprising for the bill to get a hearing in the next six days. “The bill won’t die for another 12 months, which means there’s a chance in January,” Josephson said in an interview with the Empire. “I think everyone is pretty worn out at
this point, but in January, you can bet I’ll be giving this thing the full-court press.” The bill’s cosponsors include Reps. Andi Story, D-Juneau; Matt Claman, D-Anchorage; Grier Hopkins, D-Fairbanks; Geran Tarr, D-Anchorage; Zack Fields, D-Anchorage; Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, D-Sitka; and Harriett Drummond, D-AnSee BILL, page A3

Drivers heading into the Kenai Peninsula are now greeted by a recently refurbished welcome sign. The sign, which sits at Milepost 75 on the Seward Highway, went under extensive repair in October. The sign has some new features, but retains the same look it’s had for the last 20 years.
At Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting, Mayor Charlie Pierce said the sign is more prepared for weather-related wear and tear. “It looks good,” Pierce said. “I don’t know who selected the paint colors, but it’s a paint that’s certainly specced for the weather.” Pierce said some rock See SIGN, page A3

involves staying in touch with people that I know are out and about — the different park rangers and forestry department — with what’s going on with the animals and the roads. And I hit the trails on a regular basis to do my homework. I’m not going to take people on a trail that I haven’t been on in a couple weeks. So all those factors tie in. We can add an educational aspect, if that’s what they’re interested in. Depending on the time of year they might come back with a handful of berries. The big thing is finding out what people are wanting and what they’re physically equipped to do.
Clarion: What about gear? How equipped do you expect your clients to be and how much do you provide? Brand: I will have a certain amount of packs that can be rented or borrowed, depending on the scenario. If they want it as a part of their service, I get fresh, farmers market protein bars that I can bring along. I will have an emergency water supply in my vehicle in case people forget it. I’ll basically email or text them a list of what I recommend they bring. It’s always going to be a windbreaker or rain jacket of some sort, and then depending on the type of year, bug repellent and
sunscreen are a personal choice. I do have homemade versions of those that I make that are nontoxic that I will bring along and people are welcome to use. Clarion: What about bear spray or other protection, in case you run into wildlife? Brand: I will be carrying bear protection that I feel is appropriate for what we will be doing. I will not allow anyone else on the crew to be carrying a weapon or bear spray of their own, and that is just for the safety of everyone else. Clarion: Do you have a limit on the size of the group?
Brand: I would like to keep groups under 10, but it depends on how many additional guides I have available. It’s just more manageable that way. I think everyone gets a more personal experience if you don’t have too large of a group. Clarion: So if people are looking for a more educational experience from you, what would that entail? Brand: If there’s children then we customize things for them to do like scavenger hunts depending on their age to really engage and make it fun for them and it even gives them a little something to take home with them. And then beyond the children we do plant identification, harvesting tips, how to harvest responsibly, and also wildlife identification — whether it be tracks that we come along or signs that are left behind. There’s a few geological factors as well, how the glaciers affected the landscape and all that. Clarion: So do you feel you’re pretty knowledgeable about the local plant and animal life? Brand: I guess I don’t give myself as much credit as other people give me. I’m learning that I should answer more of a “yes” to that. I always feel that I can learn more, and I continue to do so. I give myself a refresher course every spring because there’s just so much out there. I’ve been studying for several years, and I won’t teach or share anything if
when people tell me that it’s not worth having the best school district possible I think my four children got the best education on this peninsula,” Truesdell said. “My nine grandchildren deserve that education and we shouldn’t be in here begging you guys to fund the education that they need. I shouldn’t have to
beg. I shouldn’t have to drive in here and ask you guys to fund to the best. I don’t care what you have to do. Not my job, because I’m not smart enough. I just know when we pay for our schools we get what we pay for. We should pay for good schools for our children. My grandchildren deserve it.” Angie Nelson of Kenai has a kindergartner who attends Soldotna Montessori. She spoke in opposition to the veto and asked the assembly to help keep nontenured teachers from moving out of the area to other jobs. “We value what we have here as a community and as a school district,” Nelson said. “It’s so disheartening and so frustrating that people aren’t valuing that and it cuts me to
my core.” Nelson asked Pierce how cutting teachers is keeping cuts away from the classroom. “I read in your veto that you don’t want to cut from classrooms, so how is cutting my kid’s teacher not cutting from the classroom?” Nelson asked. “I don’t understand that. I don’t know where else you cut from. We have outstanding teachers here. Let’s keep them here. Why do we keep driving people away for having to come and fight and stand and do this? I really hope we can find six good people with good hearts to overturn this veto.” Linda Hutchings addressed concerns about the cost of education in her public testimony. She noted the school district has cut $8 mil-
lion from their budget in the last five years and has spent over $9 million of their savings. “Many feel education is too expensive in our borough,” Hutchings said. “… Let’s be proactive and fund education and give the children of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District the opportunities they deserve.” The mayor defended his veto at the meeting and said layoffs of non-tenured teachers are not on the borough’s hands. “Those pink slips you’re handing out, they don’t belong to this mayor or this assembly for that matter,” Pierce said. “They don’t. They have a fund balance. If they really, truly feel they want to, they’ll go into their
fund balance to fix the catastrophic event that’s fixing to occur … You want to protect your fund balance, but what if we need fund balance to?” Several assembly members bolstered their support to fund education at the end of the meeting. “I hear stress,” Assembly member Kelly Cooper said. “I hear uncertainty. We can do the supplemental funding now, and depending on what happens, we can adjust our 2020 budget.” “I was really glad we were able to pass the supplemental funding,” Assembly member Willy Dunne said. “I was dismayed the mayor vetoed it and I hope we can override that veto … I will continue to do what I can to support schools.”
. . . Crime
Skidmore said, comes down to consent. Skidmore pointed out that Senate Bill 35, originally proposed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy, includes a clause that would eliminate the marriage defense. Eliminating the marriage defense, Skidmore said, would make the law treat married people the same as unmarried people. HB 49 passed the House and is now in the Senate’s hands, so senators can add an amendment to the bill to eliminate the marriage defense.
islature passed this week, made that specific act of unwanted contact with semen into a crime. Rep. Geran Tarr, D-Anchorage, has worked in recent years to get law enforcement agencies to test sexual assault kits more quickly. Her bill this year, HB 20, was included in HB 49. Tarr said she’s been pleased to see the Legislature talk more openly about sexual assault, and next session she wants to pass leg-
islation that clearly defines what consent means, as the state does not currently have an enumerated definition. She said high-profile discussions such as the Schneider Loophole and the marriage defense debate help bring the issue of sexual assault to the forefront. “They create more momentum, I would say,” Tarr said. “What I think is you need to use that momentum to make big, lasting change.”

assaulted her while she was unconscious. The husband ended up not being charged, Rasmussen said. The day before, Rasmussen had proposed an amendment to HB 49 that would have eliminated the marriage defense, but the amendment was voted down, 20-17. Rep. Matt Claman, DAnchorage, spoke on the floor against eliminating the marriage defense at this time. He explained that in some cases, someone can get into trouble if they touch their spouse who’s afflicted with Alzheimer’s or dementia that make them go in and out of a solid mental state. “Those complexities led us to say, ‘Let’s take a little more time, look at this carefully and make sure we get it right,’” Claman said. Juneau District Attorney Angie Kemp said you can look at just about any law and find a small example like that that can result in an innocent person getting in trouble. Kemp said prosecutors have discretion about how to pursue a case. The Legislature’s job, she said, is to make the laws. Her job is to carry out those laws, and she said lawmakers need to understand that lawyers are able to practically apply the laws. “You’re never going to be able to legislate to the point where you cover every crazy scenario that you can come up with,” Kemp said in an interview Friday. “… At some point, the Legislature has to trust us that we’re going to do the right thing.” All of this, both Lowry and
Closing up other loopholes Lowry said that in general, she is optimistic about the way legislators have spoken about sexual assault this session. She said consent and sexual assault are very difficult topics to talk about, but it’s important for lawmakers to talk about them openly. She said there have also been a variety of law changes this session that have taken small but important steps in providing more protections for victims of assault. “We believe there have been some subtle additions that that will really make a difference because they’re coming from a victim perspective,” Lowry said. HB 14 has been a highprofile piece of legislation this session, because it closes a gap in state law known now as the Schneider Loophole. In Anchorage, a man named Justin Schneider strangled a woman until she passed out and then ejaculated on her. He pleaded guilty to one charge and served no jail time. HB 14, which the Leg-

real need for someone to take people out and show them a little bit more of the Alaska that they came to see — to share and really have that personal experience with someone that has been a part of it. I looked and noticed that it’s not really offered around here, where people can meet up with someone and go on a day hike. I think a lot of people want to, but they don’t necessarily want to do it by themselves. And it’s not the same experience if you’re doing it on your own, either. Clarion: How do you personalize the experience for each group? Brand: First off, I would ask them what kinds of things they enjoy doing. What’s bringing them to Alaska? Were they just brought in-tow? Have they always wanted to see it? Are they already nature lovers? That gives me an idea of where to start. Then I ask how strenuous of a trip they feel that they’re equipped for. Whether they’re looking for a short half-day thing or if they’re wanting to spend the whole day out. That helps narrow down for me where we’ll go. It also depends on the time of year. I don’t just go on the trails when I’m guiding folks, but part of my work to be responsible and ensure that they get the best experience

I’m not 100% sure. Brand’s naturalist skills were put to the test on the spot, as a tiny spider began crawling across the picnic table during the interview. Brand immediately identified it as a baby orb spider and explained how they are “good guys” because they capture mosquitoes and other small insects in their large webs that they weave in the fireweed and tall grasses. Clarion: So what did you do before this? Brand: Well I’ve raised both my kids here — who are growing up way too fast, by the way — and I would spend a lot of time taking them out. We’d see what kind of contraptions we could get to float out on the lake, we dipnet, we fish, we hunt, we spend a lot of time playing in the water. I home-schooled both of them for the majority of their school years so that gave us a lot of opportunities to go out. I started getting into natural health several years ago when I was having some health issues and my doctors didn’t know what to do. So I spent a lot of time studying nutrition and herbs and home remedies and just, a lot about the body and how it works. Part of it was my struggle with fibromyalgia, and a lot of what I learned both through research and doing things myself was that being outside and moving was the best medicine.

Eugene Wilford Hansen
Glenn Mullins
Eugene “Gene” Wilford Hansen, 97, passed away in his home on May 6, 2019, with Della, his wife of 67 years, by his side. Gene was born April 28, 1922, in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Hattie Campbell and Wilford Hansen. He was one of five children growing up in Idaho during the Great Depression. He enlisted in the US Navy on October 21, 1942. Gene first served on a floating dry dock before being stationed on the USS Mount Vernon, a troop transport ship. He later was stationed in New Caledonia where he served at the Ame’dee’ Lighthouse at the southern tip of the Island in the South Pacific. He received four medals during his service: Asiatic Pacific Area Campaign Medal, American Area Campaign Medal, WW2 Victory Medal, and a Good Conduct Medal. He was honorably discharged on December 26, 1945 after serving his country proudly. After his mother died during childbirth when he was eight years old, he and his brothers were “farmed out” to local farms in Idaho where they helped with animals and crops during the Great Depression. Using skills he learned as a young man, he became an accomplished and well respected horse trainer, cattle rancher, and hay farmer. He came to Alaska right after World War II and stayed for a year before moving to Montana where he worked in the logging industry until 1959. In 1960, he and his young family moved to Alaska where he drilled wells, built bridges and worked as a carpenter. He and his family built their log home in Soldotna before moving out Funny River Road, where he started his own Big Game hunting business. For more than twenty years Gene took hunters on horseback into the Kenai Mountains. During this time, he plotted out a more efficient trail which continues his legacy: The Hansen Horse Trail. “Grandpa will be remembered fondly for his startlingly loud sneezes, rib-cracking hugs, his uncanny luck at games, and practical jokes played on unwitting children: “Go check the electric fence and see if it’s hot.” He taught us all how to tie knots and saddle horses left-handed, even though none of us were. By the time we were five years old, we could all make him a cup of instant coffee. If you sat in his recliner, he would pretend he didn’t see us and smash us flat. He gave many of us nicknames (some aren’t fit to print) and taught us how to drive the tractor. He took every step as if he were in a race to the finish line; none of us could ever keep up. He often said he could finish a day’s work by noon, and we work hard to follow his example. He told the best stories. He was humble and proud. But most of all, he loved us.” He is preceded in death by his parents, siblings, and his son Danny Neal Hansen. He is survived by his wife, Della Mary Hansen (Newby), his son Nicholas Hansen, daughter Nancy Chaney, son Dennis Hansen, 11 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren. Eugene’s memorial service will be held Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 at 3:00pm at the Soldotna Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Glenn Mullins, 67, passed away on Tuesday, April 30, 2019, after battling cancer. Glenn grew up in Richmond, Indiana and moved to Alaska in 1989. He settled in Sterling in 1994 after living in several other cities of Alaska. Glenn enjoyed volunteering at his church, Abundant Life, at Sterling Head Start, and in his community, including helping with meals for ‘A place at the Table’ outreach of Our Lady of Perpetual Help’ in Soldotna. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends! He had a servant’s heart and was known for his ability to fix things, his stories, his cooking, his love of yard selling, and spending time with his family. He is preceded in death by his mother, Maxie Gregory Mullins, his sister, Ruby Evans, and grandson, Daniel Meier. Living relatives are his wife, Patty; his son, Greg; daughters Laura Goldthwaite and Cheri (Tony) Dilauro; grandchildren- Elisabeth Way, Christina Freeman, Leann Meier, Jordan Goldthwaite, Taylor Rocco and Dominic Rocco; great grandchildren Hatcher Mullins and Ensley Roberts. Glenn was a hard worker and took pride in his work. He worked 18 years at Wayne Dairy Corporation in Richmond, as well as other various jobs and in Alaska has done a variety of jobs including a fitter filer, construction, fuel delivery, drove logging trucks, sprayed urethane, did retail at various local stores, worked for the borough mowing grass, and the janitor at Sterling Post Office. There will be a celebration of his life on Sunday, May 19th at the Sterling Community Center 1 to 4 pm with a potluck.

partisan support. While Josephson acknowledged Republican legislators typically oppose LGBTQ-friendly legislation, he credited Rep. Gary Knopp, R-Kenai, for the bill’s unprecedented advancement last year. Josephson said if the bill makes it past the House Judiciary Committee, it would have a good chance of making it to the House floor. He was less optimistic of whether it would then pass the Senate or be signed into law, but said getting to either step would be a milestone. “If I could just get a successful passage out of the House, that would be a monumental achievement,” Josephson said of a potential landmark achievement for LGBTQ-friendly legislation at the state level. He said the bill’s gradual progress has been encouraging and made the comparison to putting a man in space before a man could walk on the moon. Josephson said he believes in the bill’s cause and said it is unequivocally a civil rights bill. Josephson predicted the bill will ultimately become law whether it takes that step in 2020 or further down the line. “This bill is going to pass. It may not pass until 2030, but it’s going to pass,” Josephson said. “Easily within my lifetime, and I’m 54, this bill will be law in the state of Alaska. It’s going to happen.”
chorage. Twenty-one states and Washington D.C. already have laws protecting against discrimination based on sexual identity or gender presentation. Juneau and Anchorage also have ordinances against refusing to rent, lend to or employ LGBTQ people. This is the second time in state history a bill intended to protect the rights of LGBTQ Alaskans has made it this far along in the legislative process. Last year, a bill also advanced out of the House State Affairs Committee. On March 30, 2018, House Bill 184 was given a hearing, and it was ultimately held over. Josephson recalled a motion to move the bill out of the Judiciary Committee was not made because it was anticipated a role call vote would “kill” the bill. If House Bill 82 gets a hearing in January, Josephson said it’s possible the same thing could happen if it’s expected four of the seven committee members would vote against the bill passing, and a conservative-leaning committee makes that a distinct possibility. While the bill’s listed cosponsors are all members of the Democratic Party, Josephson said it does have at least some bi-

What others say
Time for Trump to turn over tax returns President Trump owes the American
people a fuller account of his financial dealings, including the release of his recent tax returns, because politicians should keep their promises, because the public deserves to know whether his policies are lining his pockets and because the integrity of our system of government requires everyone, particularly the president, to obey the law. Mr. Trump promised to release his tax returns before his presidential campaign and in the early stages of that campaign, then reneged, offering a long series of inconsistent excuses for breaking his promise. Now Mr. Trump is resisting the lawful request of the House Ways and Means Committee for the Treasury secretary to release the last six years of his tax returns. In seeking the president’s returns, the House is clearly acting in the public interest. First and foremost, the public deserves to know more about Mr. Trump’s finances: from whom he has borrowed, with whom he has done business, to whom he may be beholden. This is relevant information about any president, but it is particularly important in the case of Mr. Trump, because he refused to divest his business holdings following his election, breaking with the practice of his predecessors. … A tax return is far from a complete picture of a person’s financial life. For one thing, it is an accounting of income rather than wealth, so it would not establish whether Mr. Trump is a billionaire. But Mr. Trump’s tax returns could provide significant information about matters of greater public import, including his debts and the sources of his income. For example, if Mr. Trump deducted the interest payments on a loan from his taxable income, he would be required to disclose information about the source and amount of that loan. Another example: A partnership that sells real estate, and includes foreign partners, must disclose information about those partners. … The disclosure of Mr. Trump’s tax returns could also help to verify, or falsify, a range of assertions that Mr. Trump has made about his own life — stories that he used to build support for his candidacy and continues to use to build support for his policies. … Reporting on Mr. Trump’s financial past by Times reporters, including David Barstow, Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner has already undermined the president’s confected image as a hugely successful businessman. In a piece published Tuesday evening, Ms. Craig and Mr. Buettner reported Mr. Trump “appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer” year after year in the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Mr. Trump has long said he suffered setbacks during the recession in the early 1990s, and then bounced back to rebuild his fortunes. But tax records and other sources show Mr. Trump lost big during the boom years of the late 1980s. Far less is known about Mr. Trump’s more recent financial dealings. … The returns also could help to clarify whether Mr. Trump continues to cheat on his taxes. The Times has previously reported that Mr. Trump engaged in fraud to avoid taxation during the 1990s. In requesting Mr. Trump’s tax returns, the House has said it seeks to evaluate whether he is being properly audited by the Internal Revenue Service, which audits all presidential returns as a matter of policy. It has asked for the last six years of the president’s personal tax returns — the period likely still subject to an I.R.S. audit — and tax information for eight of Mr. Trump’s businesses. … — The New York Times, May 8
This summer, more than 40 wild million sockeye salmon are expected to return to Alaska’s Bristol Bay. If you’re an angler, you’ve likely heard of the region’s world-class salmon and trout fishing — a dream destination for anglers worldwide. And, if you buy wild Alaska salmon at your local grocery store, it most likely comes from Bristol Bay — the region accounts for over half of the world’s supply of the popular, nutritious fish. Currently, all of this is under threat by the proposed Pebble Mine, which is making headway toward securing a key federal permit. At stake are not only Bristol Bay’s fish and wildlife, but also the economic prosperity and outdoor heritage that have emerged as a result. So much is at stake that more than 1 million Americans — led by a coalition of Alaskans traditionally fond of resource development — have repeatedly said, “Not here.” Still, Pebble pushes on. After recently releasing a draft Environmental Impact Statement for Pebble — the key document of the permit process — the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is accepting public comments on its analysis of the project’s consequences. Filled with misconceptions and lacking scientific detail in many areas, the statement’s release has fast-tracked the permit process and undermined the public discourse needed for a project of such magnitude. The rapidly accelerated review is now expected to result in an issued permit, despite the wishes of large and diverse
groups of Americans. Nearly two-thirds of Alaskans oppose the proposed mine, while even more Bristol Bay residents (80%) oppose the proposal because of the serious threat it poses to cultural traditions and fishing in the area. We stand behind the residents of Bristol Bay for good reason: Pebble is not just any mine. It would be North America’s most extensive open pit mine, situated atop the critical headwaters of one of the largest wild salmon runs and trophy rainbow trout populations in the world. According to its permit, Pebble would pull 36 billion gallons of water from prime habitat each year, while up to 11 billion tons of toxic waste would be stored behind an earthen dam at the headwaters of the Bristol Bay watershed. That dam would be 10 times larger than the Mount Polley dam in British Columbia — the same Mount Polley dam that infamously failed in 2014, sending 850 million cubic feet of mining waste into nearby lakes and rivers. Such disasters are becoming increasingly common and Canada’s tragedy is our warning. Repeating history in Bristol Bay would doom the region’s thriving fishbased industries, not to mention the culture that they’ve created. Bristol Bay’s salmon population generates a sustainable $1.6 billion annually and supports more than 14,000 full- and part-time jobs. Over 11,500 of those jobs stem from commercial salmon fishing during peak season, which is valued at about $300 million annually. While Pebble’s construction would yield short-term gains for a foreign mining company, the region is already rich, and its currency is salmon. This socioeconomic impact transcends Alaska. The total value of Bristol Bay salmon product exports amounts to
just under 10% of the total value of all U.S. seafood exports. Bristol Bay also benefits secondary industries that depend on it, such as retail. Companies like ours serve thousands of customers who hope to take advantage of natural attractions like Bristol Bay — from rafting to fly fishing and bird watching. By destroying over 15 square miles of Bristol Bay headwaters, Pebble would put that way of life at risk. No amount of gold is worth that. Even though the Pebble proposal would create about 2,000 jobs for the first 20 years, these are boom-and-bust jobs that can rip apart the social fabric of longstanding communities. They’re also only a fraction of the 14,000 jobs that Bristol Bay currently supports and has supported for decades. These jobs are long-term, time-tested and integral to the Bristol community. We are by no means anti-business. We are not opposed to mining itself. But Pebble is not only bad for the fishery, it’s bad for business, too. Pebble is simply the wrong mine in the wrong place. We must never lose sight of the natural resources that contribute to our well-being. If we indeed benefit from natural resources, then we must act to protect them. On that count, the Pebble proposal is an abject failure. Now is the time for us to say so, before the comment period concludes on May 30. We urge all Americans to send their objections to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. We have a golden opportunity to speak up for Bristol Bay’s economic prosperity and outdoor heritage, and speak out against the proposed Pebble Mine.

News and Politics
Self-impeach? Talk shifts toward Trump defiance of Congress By LISA MASCARO AP Congressional Correspondent
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has introduced a new concept into the debate over President Donald Trump’s actions: “self-impeaching.” As Trump all but goads Democrats into impeachment proceedings, viewing the showdown as potentially valuable for his 2020 re-election campaign, Democrats are trying to show restraint. Their investigations are both intensifying but also moving slowly as Democrats dig into the special counsel’s Trump-Russia report and examine Trump’s finances and governance. The more they push, the more Trump resists, the president making what Pelosi says is his own case for impeachment with his stonewalling of Congress. “The president is self-impeaching,” she told her colleagues last week during a private caucus meeting, echoing comments she also aired in public. “He’s putting out the case against himself. Obstruction, obstruction, obstruction. Ignoring subpoenas and the rest.” She added, “He’s doing our work for us, in a certain respect.” There is no actual process for self-impeachment. It’s a thought bubble more than a legal term. A pure Pelosi-ism, one that an
aide says she coined herself. But as a device, it’s a way for Pelosi to frame the often complicated idea of the White House refusing to engage with Congress in the traditional process of checks and balances. “Sometimes people act as if it’s impeachment or nothing,” Pelosi told reporters. “No, it’s not that. It’s a path that is producing results and gathering information.” In the aftermath of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, the slow drip of congressional oversight also serves a dual purpose politically. It allows Democrats to keep impeachment proceedings at bay, despite calls to push ahead by the liberal flank, while stoking questions about Trump going into the 2020 presidential election. They note the Watergate investigation dragged on two years before the House Judiciary Committee opened impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon. By the time articles of impeachment were drawn up, the third entry was Nixon’s obstruction of Congress. Rather than viewing Mueller’s report as the end of the debate, Democrats in Congress have taken his findings as a green light to dig in with their oversight role. So far, House committees have issued
multiple subpoenas for executive branch information, including for an unredacted version of the Mueller report and some million of pages of underlying evidence; for testimony and documents from former White House counsel Don McGahn; for information on Trump’s business dealings; and for Trump’s tax returns. Others subpoenas have been issued over the administration’s policies on migrant children and on citizenship questions on the census. “My Democratic colleagues seem to be publicly working through the five stages of grief,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell mused in a floor speech. The Kentucky Republican scoffed at their “laughable threats of impeachment.” As McConnell declared the “case closed,” he noted that the final stage of grief is acceptance. “For the country’s sake, I hope my Democratic friends get there soon,” he said. Except Mueller’s 448-page report left Congress with questions. While the special counsel found no evidence the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to swing the 2016 election, Mueller did not render a decision on the question of whether the president obstructed justice in the investigation. “It also does not exonerate him,” the report says.

More ‘heartbeat’ abortion bans advancing in South, Midwest

citement and the hope that’s happening with changes in the Supreme Court and having such a pro-life president.” For abortion right supporters, meanwhile, the trend is ominous. Said Diane Derzis, owner of Mississippi’s sole abortion clinic, the Jackson Women’s Health Organization: “I think it’s certainly more dire than it ever has been. They smell blood and that’s why they’re doing this.” Already, Mississippi man-
dates a 24-hour wait between an in-person consultation. That means women must make at least two trips to her clinic, often traveling long distances. Other states have passed similar, incremental laws restricting abortion in recent years, and aside from Mississippi, five states have just one clinic — Kentucky, Missouri, North and South Dakota, and West Virginia. But the latest efforts to bar the procedure
represent the largest assault on abortion rights in decades. Lawmakers sponsoring the bans have made it clear their goal is to spark court challenges in hopes of ultimately overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. Those challenges have begun. Derzis’ attorneys are scheduled to go before a judge on May 21, seeking to prevent Mississippi’s heartbeat law from taking effect July 1.
Shanahan: military won’t leave until border secure By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer
MCALLEN, Texas — Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan visited a border city in Texas on Saturday and said he intends to accelerate planning to secure the border and bolster the administration’s ability to accomplish that without the Pentagon’s continuous help. He also offered assurances to perhaps two dozen Border Patrol agents and other officials at the McAllen Border Patrol Station that the Pentagon would not withdraw its military support prematurely. “We’re not going to leave until the border is secure,” he said, adding, “This isn’t about identifying a problem. It’s about fixing a problem more
quickly.” Shanahan told Congress this past week that there are 4,364 military troops on the border, including active-duty and National Guard. They are erecting barriers, providing logistics and transportation service and other activities in support of Customs and Border Protection. The troops are prohibited from performing law enforcement duties. Troops have been deployed on the border since last October and are committed to being there through September. While flying to Texas, he dismissed any suggestion that active-duty forces will extend their mission for the long haul. “It will not be indefinite,” he told reporters traveling with him. Shanahan also said he has
instructed a two-star Army general, Ricky Waddell, to develop a plan soon that will answer this question: “How do we get more badges back to the border?” — a reference to ensuring Homeland Security Department is fully capable of securing the border, its core mission. Shortfalls in personnel and other resources have prompted DHS to periodically ask for the military’s help on the U.S.Mexico border, without a plan for how to fix the underlying resource problems. “What we want is for DHS to be effective and stand alone,” Shanahan said, with the Pentagon always available to help in an emergency, as it has in the past. DHS on Friday submitted another request for Pentagon
assistance, defense officials said Saturday. That request, which has not previously been disclosed, is for shelter for detained migrants, and would include tents to be set up but not secured by an undetermined number of military troops, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning. Shanahan announced on Friday that he was transferring $1.5 billion from numerous defense projects, including $604 million originally intended for use in support of Afghan security forces, to a Pentagon counterdrug fund that will help finance construction of barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border. That is in addition to $1 billion the Pentagon transferred for wall construction in March.
Man who reported girl missing arrested HOUSTON (AP) — The man who reported 4-yearold Maleah Davis had been abducted from him last weekend was arrested near Houston Saturday in connection with her disappearance and police say they have found blood in his apartment linked to her.

Around the Nation Alyssa Milano calls for sex strike, ignites social media Actress Alyssa Milano ignited social media with a tweet Friday night calling for women to join her in a sex strike to protest strict abortion bans passed by Republican-controlled legislatures. The former star of “Charmed” and current cast member of “Insatiable,” which is filmed in Georgia, urged women in her tweet to stop having sex “until we get bodily autonomy back.” Her tweet came days after Georgia became the fourth state in the U.S. this year to ban abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant. “We need to understand how dire the situation is across the country,” Milano told The Associated Press on Saturday. “It’s reminding people that we have control over our own bodies and how we use them.” She noted that women have historically withheld sex to protest or advocate for political reform. She cited how Iroquois women refused to have sex in the 1600s as a way to stop unregulated warfare. Most recently, she noted that Liberian women used a sex strike in 2003 to demand an end to a long-running civil war.
By RUSS BYNUM Associated Press
If a new Mississippi law survives a court challenge, it will be nearly impossible for most pregnant women to get an abortion there. Or, potentially, in neighboring Louisiana. Or Alabama. Or Georgia. The Louisiana legislature is halfway toward passing a law — like the ones enacted in Mississippi and Georgia — that will ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, about six weeks into a pregnancy and before many women know they’re pregnant. Alabama is on the cusp of approving an even more restrictive bill. State governments are on a course to virtually eliminate abortion access in large chunks of the Deep South and Midwest. Ohio and Kentucky also have passed heartbeat laws; Missouri’s Republicancontrolled legislature is considering one. Their hope is that a more conservative U.S. Supreme Court will approve, spelling the end of the constitutional right to abortion. “For pro-life folks, these are huge victories,” said Sue Liebel, state director for the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion advocacy group. “And I think they’re indicative of the momentum and ex-

mother, was arrested without incident at his brother’s home in Sugar Land, Texas, about 22 miles southwest of Houston, a statement from Houston police said. He was charged with tampering with evidence. Police spokesman Kese Smith declined to give more detail on the charge. Vence told police last
Saturday that men in a pickup truck abducted him, Maleah and his 2-year-old son before freeing him and the boy. But Sugar Land police, who initially interviewed him, said his story kept changing and didn’t add up. Houston police set out in the press release Saturday some of those false claims. Vence reported that his
silver Nissan Altima was taken in the abduction but surveillance video showed that vehicle was used to drop Vence off later at a hospital, where he first reported the abduction, police said. “His story turned out not to be the case, including the fact that there was that blood evidence in the apartment linked to Maleah,” Smith said.
28 to remain on Scientology ship in Curacao in measles scare WILLEMSTAD, Curacao — Authorities in Curacao announced Saturday that 17 crew members and 11 passengers must stay aboard a ship owned by the Church of Scientology that is under quarantine following a confirmed case of measles. Dr. Izzy Gerstenbluth said the group is required to stay on the 440-feet Freewinds ship until May 13 because they are still at risk of contracting measles after a female crew member contracted the disease. He said the remaining crew members and passengers, which totaled 318, are free to leave the ship. “They are not a threat to anyone anymore, and they cannot become sick anymore,” he said. Church officials have not returned messages seeking comment. According to the church’s website, the ship is the home of “a religious retreat ministering the most advanced level of spiritual counseling.” The ship was previously quarantined in St. Lucia and arrived in its home port of Curacao a week ago. Authorities then took 277 blood samples from those who did not have proof of vaccination and sent them to the Netherlands. Gerstenbluth said the female crew member who was infected had been in Europe and arrived April 17 in Curacao with cold symptoms. Authorities said she got tested for measles, but had already left for St. Lucia by the time the results came back. Officials in Curacao then alerted the government of St. Lucia. — Associated Press
Today in History Today is Sunday, May 12, the 132nd day of 2019. There are 233 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On May 12, 1949, the Soviet Union lifted the Berlin Blockade, which the Western powers had succeeded in circumventing with their Berlin Airlift. On this date: In 1780, during the Revolutionary War, the besieged city of Charleston, South Carolina, surrendered to British forces. In 1932, the body of Charles Lindbergh Jr., the 20-month-old kidnapped son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was found in a wooded area near Hopewell, New Jersey. In 1937, Britain’s King George VI was crowned at Westminster Abbey; his wife, Elizabeth, was crowned as queen consort. In 1943, during World War II, Axis forces in North Africa surrendered. The two-week Trident Conference, headed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, opened in Washington. In 1955, Manhattan’s last elevated rail line, the Third Avenue El, ceased operation. In 1958, the United States and Canada signed an agreement to create the North American Air Defense Command (later the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD). In 1978, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said that hurricanes would no longer be given only female names. In 1982, in Fatima, Portugal, security guards overpowered a Spanish priest armed with a bayonet who attacked Pope John Paul II. (In 2008, the pope’s longtime private secretary revealed that the pontiff was slightly wounded in the assault.) In 2002, Jimmy Carter arrived in Cuba, becoming the first U.S. president in or out of office to visit since the 1959 revolution that put Fidel Castro in power. In 2003, the Texas House ground to a standstill after 51 Democratic lawmakers left the state in a dispute over a Republican congressional redistricting plan. (The Democrats returned four days later from Oklahoma, having succeeded in killing the bill.) In 2008, a devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake in China’s Sichuan province left more than 87,000 people dead or missing. In 2017, dozens of countries were hit with a huge cyberextortion attack that locked up computers and held users’ files for ransom at a multitude of hospitals, companies and government agencies. Ten years ago: Five Miami men were convicted in a plot to blow up FBI buildings and Chicago’s Sears Tower; one man was acquitted. Suspected Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk was deported from the United States to Germany. On the second day of his Holy Land tour, Pope Benedict XVI took his message of peace to the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Five years ago: Scientists expressed concern during a NASA news conference over a pair of studies which said the huge West Antarctic ice sheet was starting a glacially slow collapse in an unstoppable way, a melt that could eventually add 4 to 12 feet to current sea levels. One year ago: North Korea said it would dismantle its nuclear test site later in the month, in what analysts described as a mostly symbolic event that wouldn’t represent a material step toward denuclearization. Iraq held its first elections since the collapse of the Islamic State group; there was a record-low turnout for balloting that saw the political coalition of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr win the most seats in parliament without capturing a majority.

Cuban gay rights groups hold unauthorized march in Havana By MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN Associated Press
HAVANA — Gay-rights activists organizing on social media held an unauthorized march Saturday down eight blocks of one of Havana’s main thoroughfares before they were stopped by police. The march was the second by a non-governmental organization in Cuba in slightly more than a month. That’s highly unusual in a country where the only legal civil society groups are de-facto arms of the Communist government. Any sort of unofficial march or demonstration has long been met with a swift and overwhelming police response. On April 7, more than 400 animal-lovers received an official permit and peacefully marched more than a mile through Havana, shouting slogans and waving signs calling for an end to animal cruelty. Saturday afternoon’s gayrights march received no such permit but police and plainclothes state-security agents allowed it to proceed from a gathering point in Havana’s Central Park, along the Prado boulevard until it reached the

Malecon, the capital’s famous seaside promenade. A handful of marchers were arrested when they attempted to push through a massive police presence and continue onto the Malecon. “It was a complete success because we got so many people together despite all the expectations of government in-
terference,” said Raul Soublett, a 26-year-old gay rights activist. “It’s historic.” The march was organized largely using Cuba’s new mobile internet, with gay-rights activists and groups of friends calling for a march over Facebook and WhatsApp after the main government-run gay rights organization, the Center for Sex
Education, canceled a Saturday march. The government group known its Spanish acronym CENESEX said it was canceling its annual Conga Against Homophobia and Transphobia because unnamed groups were attempting “to distort the reality of Cuba and use our Conga to discredit, divide and substitute the true meaning of the event.”
ANKARA, Turkey — A journalist critical of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government and its nationalist allies was hospitalized after being attacked outside his home, his newspaper said Saturday. The Yenicag newspaper said columnist Yavuz Selim Demirag was beaten up by about five or six people with baseball bats after appearing on a TV show Friday. The assailants escaped the scene in a vehicle. The reason for the attack was not known but it comes amid tensions over the top electoral authority’s decision to cancel the results of the March 31 mayoral race for Istanbul, which was won by the opposition. It ordered a revote June 23. Erdogan’s party says the Istanbul vote was marred by fraud but the opposition says the electoral board was pressured by the government, which desperately wants to hold on to power in Turkey’s largest city. The nationalist party that
Demirag supports is part of an opposition alliance whose candidate, Ekrem Imamoglu, won control of Istanbul city hall before his mandate was revoked this week. Kemal Kilicdaroglu, leader of the main opposition Republican People’s Party, visited Demirag in the hospital and condemned the attack. “How can a journalist be beaten with intent to kill just because he participated in a program, voiced his views or criticized someone?” he told reporters. “Where is Turkey going to?” The assault also drew condemnation from Turkey’s Journalists Association which said the attack on Demirag raises concerns over media freedoms. “Politicians who have difficulty espousing the idea of freedom of media and of expression and turn newspapers and journalists into targets, play an important role in these types of attacks,” the group said. The journalist was in stable condition and was expected to be released from the hospital on Sunday.
Polish nationalists protest US over Holocaust claims By VANESSA GERA Associated Press
WARSAW, Poland — Thousands of Polish nationalists marched to the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw Saturday, protesting that the U.S. is putting pressure on Poland to compensate Jews whose families lost property during the Holocaust. The protest took place amid a dramatic rise in antiSemitic hate speech in public life in Poland and it appeared
to be one of the largest antiJewish street demonstrations in recent times. It also comes as far-right groups are gaining in popularity, pressuring the conservative government to move further to the right. Protesters, including farright groups and their supporters, say the United States has no right to interfere in Polish affairs and that the U.S. government is putting “Jewish interests” over the interests of Poland. Poland was a major victim
of Nazi Germany during World War II and those protesting say it is not fair to ask Poland to compensate Jewish victims when Poland has never received adequate compensation from Germany. “Why should we have to pay money today when nobody gives us anything?” said 22-year-old Kamil Wencwel. “Americans only think about Jewish and not Polish interests.” The protesters shouted “No to claims!” and “This is Poland, not Polin,” using the Hebrew
John and Ca rolyn Berna rd’s 50th Anniversa ry Announcement John and Carolyn Bernard are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary on May 16, 2019. They met at Carolyn’s sister’s wedding in Anchorage, Alaska when they were both part of the wedding party. John and Carolyn honeymooned in Alyeska, Alaska. John started working for the F.A.A in 1968. Their first home was in Bethel, Alaska. In December 1970, they moved to the Kenai/Soldotna area where they reside today. They have two children, Michael and Christine. They also have five wonderful grandchildren. Carolyn and John are both retired, and are enjoying their grandchildren. They are planning a trip in the fall, to the East Coast, to visit with John’s family and friends.
word for Poland. Rafal Pankowski, a sociologist who heads the anti-extremist group Never Again, called the march “probably the biggest openly anti-Jewish street demonstration in Europe in recent years.” One couple wore matching T-shirts reading “Death to the enemies of the fatherland,” while another man wore a shirt saying: “I will not apologize for Jedwabne” — a massacre of Jews by their Polish neighbors in 1941 under the German oc-
cupation. Among those far-right politicians who led the march were Janusz Korwin-Mikke and Grzegorz Braun, who have joined forces in a far-right coalition standing in the elections to the European Parliament later this month. Stopping Jewish restitution claims has been one of their key priorities, along with fighting what they call pro-LGBT “propaganda.” The movement is polling well with young Polish men.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki echoed the feelings of the protesters at a campaign rally Saturday, saying that it is Poles who deserve compensation. Poland was the heartland of European Jewish life before the Holocaust, with most of the 3.3 million Polish Jews murdered by occupying Nazi German forces. Christian Poles were also targeted by the Germans, killed in massacres and in concentration camps.

ough assembly in 2017 and 2018, is being proposed to close budget shortfalls facing the borough, a memo from Assembly Vice President Dale Bagley reads. “Due largely to the state’s current economic crisis and proposed reductions of state funds to local governments, the borough is currently facing a budgetary shortfall es-
timated to be substantial,” the memo said. “The fiscal situation has worsened and the borough needs to close that shortfall. I propose that we pass this ordinance and submit it to the voters for consideration in the next regular election.” In his memo, Bagley says thousands of visitors traveling to the Kenai Peninsula con-
tribute to the economy, while also creating a large demand on borough services. “Examples of borough services provided to visitors include solid waste services, fire and emergency medical services, road services, hospitals, recreation services, 911 services and disaster assistance,” the memo reads. The next borough election
is on Oct. 1. If the tax is approved by both the assembly and the voters, it would take effect April 1, 2020. The memo says 49 cities and boroughs in the state have a bed tax, ranging from 4% to 12%. The ordinance would exempt temporary lodging rentals from the general sales tax rate and instead would levy a
maximum bed tax of 12%. “These additional sales taxes would be used to support education,” the memo said. “They would also make other revenues available for services funded by property taxes and help to sustain the general fund.” A public hearing on this ordinance will take place at the June 5 meeting.
In Loving Memory of Dave Keating March 17, 1939~May 4, 2019
Longtime Soldotna resident, David Harold Keating, 80, passed away at home surrounded by family, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, on Saturday, May 4, 2019. Memorial services will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, May 18, 2019, at Kenai New Life Assembly of God, 209 Princess Street, Kenai. Pastor Alan Humphries will be officiating. A celebration of life will be held immediately following at the Birch Ridge Golf Course in Soldotna. In Dave’s honor, please feel free to dress in St. Paddy’s Day green or Seahawks attire. In true Irish fashion, Dave was born on St. Patrick’s Day, 1939 in Mobridge, South Dakota, to Donald and Betty Keating (Mosher). He grew up in Issaquah, Washington and graduated from Issaquah High School in 1957, where he was involved in Student Council, Choir, Ski Club, Letterman’s Club, Thespians, Spanish Club, Future Farmers of America, and was Captain of the football team. After high school, he married and had 4 children; Kevin, Kurt, Kim, and David. Prior to moving to Alaska, Dave owned a Texaco service station in the Bellevue Washington area. In 1969, Dave moved to the Kenai Peninsula and had two more children; Kelly and Ryan. He obtained his Alaska real estate license in 1971 and opened Peninsula Realty in Soldotna shortly after. Dave was the original broker of Freedom Realty when it opened in 1986 and became owner in 1992. Freedom Realty, now a part of Century 21, is still in the same location today. Dave the Realtor and Sharon the Mortgage Loan Originator met in 1988 when close friends thought they would make the perfect couple. Dave and Sharon agreed and after being together for 6 years, they were married in 1994 and Dave gained another daughter; Melanie. Dave was very involved in the real estate community. He served as the first President of the local Kenai Peninsula Realtor Association in 1974 and was a driving force in bringing the organization to our area. He was President two other times and was named “Realtor of the Year” four times throughout his career. Dave served as President of the Alaska State Association of Realtors twice and received the prestigious “Realtor of the Year” award two times for the State of Alaska. Dave was Regional Vice President for the National Association of Realtors in 1981. He traveled to Washington DC where he met with Senator Ted Stevens and President Ronald Reagan to discuss Association policy and the promotion of Realtor programs. In his 50 years on the Kenai Peninsula, Dave trained some of the best Realtors in our area, many having worked for him or served with him. Daughter Kelly’s favorite quote of her Dad’s is “Leave everything you touch better than you found it”. Dave certainly did that in his life. Dave was a charter member of the Soldotna Elks and continued his membership until his death. He was also a charter member of the Soldotna Rotary Club and served as its President in 1989. He was instrumental in welcoming the first two women into the Club in 1988. One of them was Sharon, who later became his wife. He was President of the Greater Soldotna Chamber of Commerce in 1977 and through the years received numerous Chamber awards; including “Man of the Year”, “Business of the Year”, and most recently the “Pioneer Award”. Dave and his wife Sharon were King and Queen in the 2014 Progress Day Parade. In 1982, Dave and partner Audie Moore, purchased a large parcel of land on the Kenai River and subdivided it into Poacher’s Cove, a Recreational Planned Unit Development. Dave, together with family and friends, spent many summers at Poacher’s Cove; catching fish and telling stories around the fire. Family still owns special riverfront lots there and plan to continue gathering for barbeques and fishing each summer in Dave’s honor. Originally built in 1958, at the mouth of the Kustatan River, the ‘Duck Shack’ has been a favorite place of Dave’s for the better part of five decades. Many of his best and longest lasting friendships were formed hunting those wetlands and drinking ‘Duck Shack’ martinis at the poker table. This unique Alaskan experience will continue to be a tradition carried on by his family. Some of Dave’s favorite pastimes included watching the Seattle Seahawks, fishing on the Kenai River, duck hunting, travelling, and playing golf. He loved all things golf and was very active over the years with the Birch Ridge Golf Association. While he enjoyed all these things, his true passion was his family. He always remembered birthdays and anniversaries and sent heartfelt cards to family members on their special day. Dave loved with all his heart and was a dear friend to many. He impacted, influenced, and inspired so many as a mentor, leader, and father figure. He also had a great sense of humor and was known for his ability to tell a good story. Dave will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 25 years, Sharon and his children: Kevin Keating (Theresa) of Washington, Kim Beauclair (Doran) of Washington, David Keating (Jodi) of Montana, Kelly Griebel (Scott) of Soldotna, Ryan Keating of California, Melanie Imholte (Brian) of Soldotna and Trina Stichal (Ray) of Nikiski. Dave will also be forever remembered by his 18 grandchildren: Sean, Kayla (Steve), Alyssa (Chrystal), Dylaney, Ian, Don, James (Emily), Michaela (Ben), Rachel (Cory), Kelsey, Marley, Hayley (Forrest), Emelia, Eliza, Robbie, Paxton, Madalyn, and Katelyn; 12 great grandchildren: Jordan, Andrew, Haylie, Madison, Natalie, Sophia, Maxx, Esmé, Jayce, Georgia, Neko, and Ahnika; and 9 nieces and nephews: Debbie, Theresa, Carole, Lisa, Doug, Troy, Allison, Janet, and Colleen. He was preceded in death by his parents: Donald and Betty; son Kurt (Diane); brothers: Douglas and Richard; and nephew Derek. Dave wants us to remember him “setting up tee times at Birch Ridge Golf Course, setting out decoys on the duck ponds across the Inlet, and busy tying lines to catch Kenai River salmon”. In memory of our beloved Dave, donations may be made to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network at www.pancan.org.

SoHi girls nip Homer Stars create 3-way tie atop conference By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
Scenes of chaos punctuated the late stages of Saturday afternoon’s Peninsula Conference girls clash between Soldotna and Homer at Justin Maile Field in Soldotna, and now that it’s over, the fun will really begin. Amid waves of rain and hail, SoHi held off a late charge by Homer to win a Peninsula Conference regular season finale 2-1, forcing a three-way tie atop the conference standings with Homer and Kenai Central. All three teams finished the regular season at 4-1-2 in conference play. The tiebreaker will re-
quire the third or fourth option to break it up, which will provide one team a big break in getting the No. 1 seed, while the No. 2 and 3 seeds will face off in next week’s region semifinals, with a state spot on the line. The top seed will face the winner of the No. 4 and 5 quarterfinal round, either Nikiski or Seward. “This is huge for us,” said Soldotna head coach Jimmy Love about the Stars forcing the tiebreak. SoHi would have been relegated to the third seed with a loss. “That’s a tough game,” Love said. “Regardless of who it is, it’s a tough game for either the two or three seed. The two-three game
could very well be the championship game. “It’s probably the most even I’ve seen a season, to be honest.” The Stars flaunted their strength early with two firsthalf goals from Journey Miller and Meijan Leaf on strikes from long distances that found the back of the netting for a 2-0 halftime lead. Homer and Soldotna tied 3-3 in an April 9 meeting, so the game was already expected to be a tight battle for supremacy before the opening whistle. Homer head coach Mike Tozzo was left lamenting the sluggish start by the See KICK, page B4

Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The Soldotna softball team dropped a pair of Northern Lights Conference contests in a whirlwind tour of Kodiak on Friday and Saturday. The Stars touched down in Kodiak at 3:10 p.m. Friday and had two varsity games and a JV game under their belts before wheels up at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The varsity lost 19-11 in five innings Friday and 17-8 in six innings Saturday. Soldotna is now 2-4 in the conference and 3-5 overall. “It was a 24-hour trip to Kodiak and I’m proud of how the kids battled and fought for each other,” SoHi head coach Kelli Knoebel said. “They showed great team spirit.” Knoebel said the Stars were in both games early, See TRIP, page B2

The Grace Christian baseball team defeated Kenai Central 21-7 on Friday in Southcentral Conference action at the Kenai Little League fields. Kenai returned Saturday to win its first game of the season, a 23-15 slugfest over Redington, putting the Kardinals’ season record at 1-6 in conference and 1-7 overall. Grace Christian moved to 7-3 overall and 4-1 in the league after Friday’s victory. “I really liked the way Kenai hit the ball,” Grace head coach Ted McGovern said. “The game slipped away at the end, but they really did well.” The Grizzlies notched 10 runs in the seventh inning to turn a competitive game into a rout. “Until the seventh inning, we were right in it,” Kenai head coach Luke Oliver said. “Each game, it
seems, we get another inning into it as far as being competitive. I hope that continues with regions right around the corner.” Initially, it looked like the Kardinals would not even make it a competitive game for a half inning as Grace took a 6-0 lead in the top of the first against starter Parker Mattox. Cameron Withrow and Jacob Hulst both hit tworun bombs for the Grizzlies, the first of the year for both. Grace now has four home runs this season. Withrow finished 5 for 5 with four runs, three doubles and five RBIs, while Hulst was 3 for 5 with five RBIs and two runs. “What I liked is when we had some adversity, we came right back,” Oliver said. Caleb Smith got two outs without allowing a run, then Simon Grenier came in and slowed down Grace’s lineup until the Grizzlies got rolling in the seventh. Grenier See WIN, page B2
Stars sweep Kenai Peninsula Borough track titles Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The Soldotna Stars swept the girls and boys team titles Saturday at the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District track and field championships in Homer. The SoHi boys won 11 of 17 total events to crush the competition with 272 team points, while runner-up Kenai Central had 64.
In the girls team race, SoHi picked up six event victories to finish with 191 points, besting the 134 of runner-up Kenai. The Soldotna boys triumph included a full sweep of all four relays, a sprint double by junior Ben Booth and a throwing double by senior Cody Nye. Booth continued his season trend of fast times with wins in the boys 100- and 200-meter dashes.
Booth led a top-five sweep for Soldotna in the 100 and a 1-2 finish in the 200 with sophomore teammate Eli Cravens. Booth also was part of the 400- and 800-meter relay wins, joining Trenton O’Reagan, Robert Mize and Cravens in the 400 relay and Wyatt Medcoff, Chris Edelman and Cravens in the 800 relay. Nye won both the shot put and discus throws, leading a SoHi 1-2-
3-4 in the shot and a 1-2-3 finish in the discus. Nye’s toss of 48 feet, 11.5 inches, in the shot was a personal best. On the girls side, Kenai senior Hayley Maw mirrored Booth’s accomplishment with a girls sweep of the 100 and 200 sprints. Maw edged out Homer sophomore Laura Inama in both races to claim both races. Maw also was part of the winning 400-meter relay for
Kenai, joining teammates KylieAnne Raye, Savanna Wilson and Chelsea Plagge. Kenai senior Jaycie Calvert helped pull in a chunk of points for the Kardinals with a threerace sweep of the distance events, winning the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 races. Calvert’s times of 2:28.97 in the 800 and 5:21.0 in the 1,600 were season bests for her. See TRACK, page B3
Nikiski boys finish strong Bulldogs girls win, tie on weekend By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The Nikiski soccer teams pulled out a nonconference sweep of Houston Friday at Nikiski High School, helping to build momentum as the regular season comes to a close. With the region tournament upcoming, the Bulldogs beat the Hawks 5-0 in the girls game and 5-1 in the boys contest, injecting a surge of confidence at the end of the season. “Last time we played Houston, we played down,” said boys coach Harrison Deveer said. “I’m glad we started strong and didn’t play down.” Saturday, the Nikiski boys defeated Redington 7-1 while the Bulldogs and Huskies girls played to a 3-all tie.
The Nikiski boys improved to 6-6-0 overall with the win, while the Nikiski girls moved to 4-6-3 overall. In the boys game, Isaiah Gray tallied a hat trick and Michael Mysing notched the other two goals to lead the Bulldogs. Gray scored twice in the first 19 minutes to give Nikiski a 2-0 lead, then Mysing followed up with a stellar goal in the 22nd minute to open up a 3-0 edge. Deveer said he was pleased to see the squad start fast and flaunt their offensive firepower over a beatable opponent, but said late in the game the Bulldogs began lacking focus, something he wants to see change before the Peninsula Conference tournament next weekend. “I’m all about having fun, but I don’t enjoy that kind of
fun,” he said. “It’s just disrespectful to the game of soccer. I don’t like it.” Gray’s ninth-minute score was set up for the junior striker on a rebound off Houston goalkeeper Niko Wilkenson. Gray was positioned perfectly to pounce on the loose ball. Ten minutes later, a corner kick by Mysing was headed by Jace Kornstad, whose shot took a ricochet off a defender and right to Gray’s foot, who deposited his second goal for a 2-0 lead. Mysing’s tally began when the agile junior midfielder faked out a defender and sent the ball through a tight window into the upper corner of the net from a tough angle. “I keep telling him to trust in his shots,” Deveer See STRONG, page B3

but they couldn’t stay with Kodiak. “Kodiak was tough,” Knoebel said. “Their pitching staff was outstanding. There’s a lot of depth there.” The coach said Bailey Berger had a great weekend, going 2 for 3 with three RBIs in the first game and 3 for 4 with three RBIs in the second game. She also turned an unassisted double play in the second game. Casey Earll pitched both games and took both losses. Knoebel said Earll had some command trouble at times, but overall pitched well in accumulating nine strikeouts on the weekend. In the first game, Ashley
McDonald was 2 for 4 with an RBI, Casey Card was 1 for 4, Ashlyn Asp was 2 for 3 with a double, and Janna Krieger was 2 for 3 with an RBI. Knoebel said the turning point in the game was when SoHi had the bases loaded in the fifth inning, but couldn’t get anybody in. In the second game, SoHi led 1-0 after one, 2-1 after two and was locked in a 4-all tie after the third. Eventually, Kodiak’s talent, and perhaps a little fatigue from the fast weekend, took over. Krieger was 2 for 4 with an RBI, Lillian Gomez reached twice and scored a run, and Earll scored three runs in four at-bats. Knoebel said another highlight of the weekend was Kodiak celebrating senior day Saturday and electing to honor SoHi’s
frames in relief. Oliver said both pitchers showed welcoming signs of improvement, including a late jam that Smith got out of with a crucial strikeout of one of Redington’s top hitters. “They pitched well, kept battling, they threw strikes and got ahead of batters early,” Oliver said. Kodiak 5, Soldotna 4 The Bears walked off in the bottom of the seventh inning on the Stars in Southcentral Conference action Friday. The game was tied at 1 after one. SoHi led 4-1 after three innings but Kodiak tied it in the bottom of the fourth before winning it in the seventh. SoHi fell to 1-4 in the league and 2-10 overall. Errors once again bit the Stars. SoHi had eight miscues. Jeremy Kupferschmid went the distance and gave up five runs, but just one was earned. Kupferschmid allowed four hits while walking five and striking out three. “He deserved to win,” Soldotna head coach Robb Quelland said of Kupferschmid. “He gave up one earned run over seven innings. The walks got to him a bit, but the defense definitely didn’t support him. It was a gutsy performance.” Lars Hanson started for Kodiak and gave up four runs — three earned — on two hits while walking two and striking out two. Jace Crall and Chase Good shut Soldotna out the rest of the way. Crall worked an inning, while Good worked 3 2-3 innings. Chris Jaime was 2 for 4 for the Stars, while Kupferschmid, David Michael and Davey Belger also had hits. Brennen Werner added a pair of RBIs for the Stars. Anders Hocum was 2 for 2 with two runs for Soldotna. The news was not all bad for SoHi’s defense. The Stars turned
seniors as well. Homer plays in Anchorage The Homer Mariners saw their nine-game win streak snapped Friday at the Blue and Gold Fastpitch Invitational at the Chuck Albrecht Softball Complex in Anchorage. Homer lost its first game of the day 2-1 to Chugiak, then lost 9-0 to South Anchorage. The Mariners finished off the weekend with a Saturday split, losing 9-1 to Dimond and beating Wasilla 13-9. Saturday against Dimond, the Mariners went hit for hit with the Lynx but couldn’t score any runs after getting one in the first inning. Dimond scored twice in the top of the second for a 3-1 lead, then scored two more in
a triple play to get out of a basesloaded, no-outs jam. Shortstop David Michael got the out at second, threw to Tanner Ussing for the out at first, then Ussing threw to Jacob Boze to cut down the runner trying to score. Quelland said it was the first time he can remember a high school team turning a triple play. Kodiak 9, Soldotna 6 The host Bears topped the Stars in nonconference action Saturday to drop Soldotna to 2-11 overall. “Give Kodiak all the credit,” Quelland said. “They’re solid one through nine and they show what a solid high school team looks like. They’re athletic on the field and they put the ball in play and good things happen.” SoHi led 5-1 after three innings behind a three-run home run by Boze into the wind. But Kodiak stormed back with three runs in the fourth, a run in the fifth and four runs in the sixth. Again, the defense did not support the pitcher, committing five errors. Tanner Ussing gave up four runs — one earned — while Atticus Gibson gave up an unearned run and Josh Pieh gave up four unearned runs. “We’re just having one bad inning,” Quelland said. “I truly believe we’re going to get past that.” In the second game, Kupferschmid, Michael, Jaime, Trenton Steadman and Jacob Belger added hits to Boze’s monster shot. Colony 6, Homer 0 The Mariners finished a weekend homestand against the Mat-Su Valley teams with a shutout loss to the Knights. The losses dropped the Mariners to 1-4 in conference and 5-6 overall. Zach Satterly tossed the com-
the fourth for a 5-1 edge before putting it away with four runs in the fifth. Annalyn Brown and Kaitlyn Johnson both went 3 for 3 to lead Homer, and Grace Godfrey provided a scoring punch with an RBI single. Brown pitched all five innings for Homer, giving up eight earned runs on 11 hits and five walks, striking out one. In their 13-9 win over Wasilla, the Mariners rallied from an early 4-0 deficit to score 12 runs in the second inning, which was enough to hold them. Homer brought 16 batters to the plate in the frame, and got base hits on nine of the first 11 at-bats. Kaylin Anderson and

Wasilla 15, Homer 5 Homer lost Friday to Wasilla in six innings in what Sonnen called a tough outing. “We just could not buy a strike,” Sonnen said. “We threw it right down the middle … after the second inning I decided not to burn those guys up, so I pulled them.” Hayes could only record one out after starting the game before being pulled with four runs on two hits, and Metz came in for the last two outs, but not before giving up three runs on one hit. Adkins pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings in relief with two hits, and Ceccarelli went the final 3 2/3 frames. The biggest blast came from Homer’s Koda Wood, who notched a bases-clearing double in the fourth inning to cut the lead to 7-3 at the time. Homer got two more runs in the fifth, but the Warriors proved to be too much to handle. Metz hit 1 for 3 with a double, while Ceccaralli and Hayes both knocked out singles.
Becca Chapmen both went 2 for 3 with three RBIs to lead the Homer offense. Zoe Adkins pitched the full four innings and gave up nine runs on 13 hits and four walks with two strikeouts. Friday in Game 1, Chugiak scored two runs in each the first two innings, then held on for four more innings and a last-minute charge by Homer to win the game. The Mariners led off the bottom of the sixth with a single by Kaylin Anderson, who scored on a twoout triple by Kaitlyn Johnson to cut the lead to one. Johnson was left stranded 90 feet away as the tying run after a ground-out by Grace Godfrey ended the
game. Johnson finished 1 for 3 with the RBI, while Anderson, Annalynn Brown, Haylee Owen and Zoe Adkins each tallied a base hit against Chugiak. Brown pitched the full game for Homer with two earned runs on six hits and three walks, striking out five. In Game 2, South scored six runs in the third inning to blow open the game with an 8-0 lead. The Wolverines outhit the Mariners 11-5 overall, including two home runs offered up by Homer starter Zoe Adkins. Adkins went five innings and gave up all nine runs on 11 hits, getting three strikeouts as well.

plete game shutout for Colony, and received offensive support with two runs in the second inning, one in the third and three in the fourth to go up 5-0. Homer head coach Rich Sonnen said Homer’s biggest contributions from the plate came from Harrison Metz, Austin Ceccarelli and Mose Hayes. Hayes was able to record a double but the Mariners couldn’t bring him home. “We couldn’t string anything together to generate any runs,” Sonnen acknowledged. Metz pitched four innings for Homer, giving up six runs on eight hits with one strikeout, and Seth Adkins finished off the last two frames, scattering just three hits in scoreless relief.

Ostrander, a Boise State redshirt junior, won the race in a West Region qualifying time of 15 minutes, 45.66 seconds. Ostrander ran with the leaders all race, then took the lead with about a mile to go. On the final lap, Ostrander began her kick with 300 meters to go to help distance
herself from New Mexico runner Ednah Kurgat. The 2015 Kenai Central grad also had a second-place finish earlier on Saturday in the women’s 1,500 meters, finishing just .36 seconds behind Broncos teammate Alexis Fuller in a time of 4:21.47.

said about Mysing. “He’s afraid to take shots because he feels if he takes shots and doesn’t score, he’s letting the team down, but I tell him to keep taking shots and take as many as he can.” Nikiski took a 4-0 lead less than six minutes into the second half on the third goal by Gray, and Mysing connected for the second time in the 72nd minute to make it 5-0 Bulldogs. Houston got its lone goal of the match in the second minute of stoppage time on a penalty kick. After a Nikiski player was given a charge in the box, Houston’s Lennon Gum converted on the PK to ruin the shutout by Nikiski goalkeeper Michael Eiter. Nikiski will finish the regular season Saturday at home against Redington. In the girls game, Emma Wik led the Nikiski attack with three goals and Jordyn Stock added two in the 5-1 victory. Bulldogs head coach Linda Zimmerman said the great execution came down to the team’s improved communication on the field, something Zimmerman has been harping on all season. “I think it was just everyone

talking better,” Zimmerman said. “We just talked about (playing) with intensity, because if we’re not talking and not playing with intensity, nothing’s going to happen.” Zimmerman said the Bulldogs this season have sometimes played hesitantly and haven’t capitalized on scoring opportunities that are there for them, but added Friday’s game wasn’t the case. “Sometimes I think they wait for the perfect opportunity,” she said. “And you can’t do that … it was beautiful to watch, it was beautiful soccer.” Abby Bystedt earned the shutout in goal for Nikiski. Wik got the scoring underway in the 13th minute with a stellar shot from a sharp angle, curving the ball around Houston goalie Seera Murachev for a 1-0 lead. Wik added a second goal in the 31st minute with a loud shot from the top of the box, putting Nikiski ahead 2-0 at halftime. Stock got her goals in the 50th and 59th minutes, the first on a cross from America Jeffreys for the assist, and the second on a searing shot from beyond the goal box. Wik capped her hat trick in the 62nd minute on a loose ball in the box. Zimmerman praised the defensive line of McKinley Jeffreys, Sammy Napoka and Rosalie An-
derson for warding off any balls that Houston sent their way. Nikiski boys 7, Redington 1 The host Bulldogs ended their season with a fun game on senior night. Deveer said the goal was to get each of the seniors a goal in the game. In the end, three of the six seniors scored. Those seniors were Shane Weathers, Justin Harris and Jacob Smith, who got his first goal. Also for the Bulldogs, Gavin White scored twice and Michael Mysing scored twice. Other seniors honored were Cody Handley, Jace Kornstad and Seth DeSiena. Those seniors got opportunities but could not finish. “Overall, it was a good game and a fun game,” Deveer said. “They played together and listened to the things I’ve talked about all season. “It was a good team win. Hopefully, it’s exactly what we needed going into regions next weekend.” Michael Eiter nearly had the shutout in goal, stopping a PK. But Redington was able to score when Nikiski pulled six starters with 20 minutes left. Nikiski girls 3, Redington 3 The host Bulldogs tied the nonconference match Saturday.

Sharks top Blues SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — On a San Jose Sharks team filled with established stars, 22-year-old Timo Meier can get overlooked at times even though he scored 30 goals in the regular season. Meier showed in Game 1 of the Western Conference final that he can be a force in his own right, scoring twice and setting up one of Logan Couture’s two goals with a hard hit to send the Sharks to a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night. “He was a bull,” Couture said. “When he skates and his strength, he’s tough to defend. We’re fortunate enough to play with him on our line, and I thought he was really, really good. Good stick, strong on pucks, you saw the talent on the one where he was able to walk around the d-man and finish. He’s a really good player and he’s coming into his own right now.” Meier’s hit on Alex Pietrangelo led to Couture’s goal that opened the scoring in the first period and he then scored twice in the second to give the Sharks a comfortable lead and their third straight Game 1 win this postseason. Couture added an empty-net goal to give him an NHL-leading 11 in the postseason. Joe Pavelski and Kevin Labanc also scored for San Jose and Martin
Jones made 28 saves. “We have so many great guys on this team, so many players that are just unbelievable hockey players,” Meier said. “It’s fun to be able to play at this time of the year, and obviously have success, that’s what I’m playing for. To win a Stanley Cup.” Game 2 is Monday night at the Shark Tank. Joel Edmundson, Ryan O’Reilly and Tyler Bozak scored for the Blues but the team gave little help to rookie goalie Jordan Binnington to get off to a rough start in the conference final. Binnington made 19 saves but was left exposed by his defense on numerous occasions. “There were a few too many mistakes out there,” Edmundson said. “Whenever there was they capitalized on them. They really capitalized on every chance they got. That was the biggest difference of tonight’s game.” This series is a matchup between two franchises seeking their first championships after years of playoff disappointments. They endured tough roads to get here with the Sharks needing to win a pair of sevengame series and the Blues needing a double-overtime win in Game 7 against Dallas to make it to their fourth conference final in the past 49 years.

Mariners. “I thought we did a great job, the girls played … couple mistakes, though,” Tozzo said. “Two goals, not enough pressure up front. It’s alright, things happen, that’s a really good team over there. “It was just too little, too late at the end. We’ll be all right, we’ll regroup and get back into it.” The Mariners turned up the pressure in the second half with the wind and rain at their backs and consistently harassed Soldotna goalkeeper Margarida Mendoca, who jumped on several close calls to keep the shutout going. Eventually, Homer’s front line broke through in the 77th minute on a free kick opportunity. Eve Brau took the shot and found Zoe Stonorov in the goal box for a goal that slashed the lead in half. From there, the final minutes featured a frenzied flurry of activity in Soldotna’s end of the field as Homer fought to equalize, but nothing could get through Mendoca. Soldotna also celebrated Senior Night and recognized team seniors Kortney Birch, Haley Buckbee, Pauline Catacutan, Hannah Delker, Mykenna Foster, Serena Larrow, Sierra Longfellow, Roos Meijer, Margarida Mendoca and Maria Victoria Cunha Maciel. Homer boys 3, Soldotna 0 The Mariners secured the second seed for next week’s Peninsula Conference tournament Saturday with a win over a depleted Soldotna team. Homer secured the second seed in the conference with a final league record of 4-2-1, while SoHi dropped to 4-3-0 in
conference and will receive the third seed in the tournament. Kenai (6-0-1) clinched the top seed on Thursday with a tight 1-0 win over Homer. A win for the Stars would have given them the second seed, but it would not have prevented a region semifinal matchup with Homer next week. Last year, Homer defeated SoHi on penalty kicks in the region semis. SoHi was playing without a significant chunk of their starting core Saturday due to eight players being expelled from the team for disciplinary issues, including six starters. Soldotna assistant coach Erik Dolphin said the loss of Soldotna’s most potent scorers made for a tough day on offense against Homer. “The biggest thing is it’s been very mentally draining,” Dolphin said. “It’s one of those things where morale has been the hardest thing to try to keep up at this point. “We have a lot of good players still remaining, but it’s hard to keep morale up in the face of adversity like that.” SoHi’s seasonlong starting goalkeeper Hunter Woodward played about 15 minutes as a position player before leaving to heal a leg injury, allowing Colton Sorhus to get a full game in goal for the Stars. Homer goalie Clayton Beachy earned the blank sheet in net for the Mariners, who maintained a tough midfield battle with SoHi for stretches of time. Homer easily put more shots on goal than SoHi, which had trouble finishing runs on Homer’s end of the field. “I kind of figured if they lose eight varsity players, it may be easier than it would’ve been otherwise,” said Homer head coach Warren Waldorf.
“But those kids came hard and played hard all game. It wasn’t easy, it took us a little bit to figure it out and get a couple goals on them.” Phinny Weston opened the scoring for Homer 14 minutes in on a free kick from over 30 yards out that sailed over Sorhus’ hands. Despite losing numbers, the Stars held the Homer lead to 1-0 at halftime, but the Mariners kept pressing. Eventually, Daniel Reutov was able to tally the insurance goal for Homer in the 52nd minute, outracing a SoHi defender into the goal box and slotting home the scoring strike on a slide. Austin Shafford scored in the final minute of regulation to seal the victory for Homer. Waldorf said he feels confident in his team as the postseason gets underway next weekend in Homer. “I think we’re in pretty good shape,” Waldorf said. “We’ll play this team next week, and obviously we feel a little easier about it.” Dolphin said the Stars will not be bringing back any players for the conference tourney, but said a performance like Saturday’s will go a long way in giving them a boost. “We didn’t get the result but it helps bolster our confidence a little bit,” Dolphin said. “We played them 1-0 for most of the way, so we played them tough.” Homer girls 1, Thunder Mountain 0 The host Mariners improved to 11-2-4 overall by taking the nonconference match on senior night. A little over two minutes into the game, Kappa Reutov scored, on an assist from Sienna Carey, and the Mariners made it stand up for the rest of the game. Homer and Thunder Mountain had played to a

scoreless tie earlier in the season. Homer’s seniors all played a big role in the victory, starting with Carey on that assist. In the second half, Tozzo said Thunder Mountain was on Homer’s half 90 percent of the time, but Homer’s defense was fantastic. The defense was led by seniors Kimberly Lynn and Summer McGuire. Tozzo added that senior Brenna McCarron was great in the midfield, while senior Ali McCarron was solid in net before getting hit hard in the head and having to come out of the game. Paige Jones replaced McCarron in the net and made a diving save with seven minutes left to preserve the lead. Homer boys 4, Thunder Mountain 3 The host Mariners came back from a 3-1 deficit to notch the nonconference victory and move to 9-4-2 overall. Homer avenged a 2-1 loss to the Falcons earlier in the season. Just under five minutes into the game, Phinny Weston gave the Mariners a 1-0 lead. But then Thunder Mountain ticked off three straight goals for a 3-1 lead before Homer’s Tom Gor-
man scored three minutes before halftime. In the 11th minute of the second half, Daniel Reutov scored on an assist from Parker Lowney. About eight minutes later, Reutov pocketed the game-winner with help from Weston. Homer coach Warren Waldorf was happy his team was able to claim victory while honoring the seniors. Senior Desmond VanLiere, who normally plays junior varsity, wore the captain’s armband and played the first 20 minutes of the game and the last 10. Avram Salzmann, Henry Russell, Dexter Lowe and Tom Gorman also saw extensive action. “That was huge,” Waldorf said. “We have not been down two goals like that and come from behind to win. I was shocked. I didn’t know they had it in them. It’s a good lesson going forward.” Kenai girls 0, Thunder Mountain 0 The host Kardinals tied the Falcons in nonconference action Saturday. Kenai had five players missing due to choir in Anchorage, including four starters. The Kards close the regular season 5-4-4. “We had a lot of shots and opportunities, we just
didn’t put anything in,” Kenai girls coach Dan Verkuilen said. Kenai boys 4, Thunder Mountain 0 The host Kardinals closed their regular season with a nonconference victory to move to 9-3-2 overall. Kenai had six or seven players missing due to choir in Anchorage, but Leif Lofquist and Nate Beiser were both present and bagged two goals apiece. Kenai led 3-0 after the first half. Backup goalie Aidan Milburn earned the shutout. Lopez said the absences created a lot more playing time and everybody responded well to it. The coach said Connor Felchle did great in a move to center back, Francisco Garmen Munarriz was solid at attacking midfield, and Evan Stockton shut down Thunder Mountain out wide. “The guys are playing well,” Lopez said. “It’s exciting.” Rain wipes out Seward games Seward soccer was supposed to host Redington on Friday and Houston on Saturday, but a deluge of rain swamped the fields in Seward, so the weekend of soccer was canceled.

ASK A DESIGNER: The stylish and multifunctional garage
In a labyrinth garden, every path is the right one A labyrinth garden should not be puzzling — that’s a maze. A labyrinth and a maze were once the same, but the labyrinth has recently grown to become a totally different animal. Enter a labyrinth and every turn you make is the correct one, leading you to the centre. The labyrinth might be considered a metaphor for a spiritual quest, a path that is mindfully travelled. While a maze has you scratching your head and retreating from dead ends, the labyrinth brings tranquility. No confusion, no disorientation, no tricks, no unknowns.
RINGS WITHIN RINGS A labyrinth does not have to be in a garden, or even outdoors, but what better place for a meditative walk with poised senses? The area need not be large, either. One of the best known labyrinths, on the floor in the cathedral at Chartres, France, is only 42 feet across, but the paths within it trace a distance of 850 feet. Twenty-five feet across is probably a minimum workable dimension for a labyrinth. The design of a labyrinth is usually based on a series of concentric circles. For a simple design, put a barrier preventing further travel within the outer ring of concentric circles opposite the point of entry but on either side of that barrier put entries into the next inner ring. You can turn left or right upon entering this ring, just as you could when entering the outermost ring. This ring likewise has a barrier across from its entryway, with — again — new entryways on either side to enter the next inner ring … and so on, until the centre of the labyrinth is reached. Many other designs are possible, of varying complexity and visual effect. (For some other designs and more information, see www.labyrinthsociety. org). What they all have in common is that every turn leads, eventually, to a focal point.
FROM PAPER TO REALITY There’s room for simplicity or complexity in translating a labyrinth design from paper to the ground. For the simplest, least permanent approach, mow or rake clean a portion of your lawn and trace out the paths with flour or cornmeal. Dusting flour or cornmeal on the lawn and using a human compass in “drawing” is a fun project with a child. (One person is fixed in place, holding a string, and the other person, holding the other end of the string, can trace out circles to “draw” on the ground.) For a slightly more permanent labyrinth, one that requires slightly more effort, let part of your lawn grow long, then mow out your labyrinth’s pathways. For a bolder labyrinth, get out your shovel for earth moving and/or planting. The grounding effect of a labyrinth is perhaps made more so if the paths are nestled slightly down into the ground or, alternatively, if the lines separating the paths are mounded up. If the mounds have a gentle slope, the whole labyrinth might be blanketed in nothing more than lawn grass.
HOW ABOUT SOME PLANTS? As a gardener, all sorts of plant possibilities enter my vision at this point. How about some ornamental grass between the paths? Something light and airy like blue grama grass or muhly grass comes to mind. Both are clumping grasses, so will not take over the paths, and both tolerate dry conditions, so would do fine on mounds. Mounds are not a must the paths can have their edges traced with plants rather than mounded earth. Low-growing plants with year-round interest include sedums, artemesias, thymes and lavender. No reason to rule out showy, flowering plants either. Picture swathes of daisies and alliums defining paths. I would suggest avoiding plants requiring a high degree of maintenance, though. As you walk your labyrinth, you don’t want to be constantly distracted by plants needing pruning, watering and weeding.

What if your home had a spare room you’d never noticed before? Your garage, even if it has one or more cars in it, can pull doubleduty as a gym, a crafting room and even a place to socialize. Designers and architects tell us that gaining more living space without putting an addition on your house can make the effort worthwhile, even if it means investing in things like upgraded lighting, flooring and heating. We shouldn’t be “treating the garage as a big box,” says Bethesda, Marylandbased architect Jim Rill. “Make it another room. It’s a lost opportunity if you don’t.” Marina Case, founder of the Warwick, New Yorkbased design firm The Red Shutters, agrees: “A garage,” she says, “can be anything you need it to be.” We’ve asked Rill, Case and interior designer Anna Maria Mannarino of New Jersey-based Mannarino Designs for advice on creating a well-organized garage that can also function as a flexible spare room.
FLOORS AND WALLS Upgrading the look and feel of your garage can start at the bottom: Paint the floor, says Case. Painting a cement floor a dark taupe or grey can have a big impact, she says, or choose an even bolder colour. “You’ll feel like you’re
in this fresh, fun space,” she says. But do test the colour by painting a piece of foam core that’s at least a few square feet, she says, and leaving it on the garage floor for a few days to make sure you like it. Another option: Showroom flooring is available for as little as $5 per foot, says Rill. And if you won’t be parking cars in the garage and are instead using it as a “man cave or a she-shed,” Mannarino says, consider upgrading the flooring with something you’d normally use inside the house. Walls come next: “Why is the garage always just a drywall box?” Rill asks. If your garage walls aren’t sheet-rocked, Mannarino says you can add that and give it a coat of paint. Or put up paneling, Rill says, making it easier to hang items like rakes or hoses. You can add a flat hanging system that includes space for hanging baskets and brackets for shelves. Many closet-design brands offer flat systems that will hold heavy outdoor items. If you prefer freestanding storage along the walls, add several tall, sturdy shelving units. You can line them with large, clear bins neatly labeled, or fancier storage bins, Case says. Or go an extra step and have built-in cabinetry installed. And if your garage ceiling is high and has ample space away from where the garage door opens, consider adding storage on the ceiling, Mannarino says.
“It gives you that much more real estate,” she says. But don’t cut corners: Have ceiling shelving or storage racks mounted properly by a professional.
HEATING AND LIGHTING If your garage gets cold in the winter, you can add a separate heating system that’s inexpensive to run. These “mini-split” heating systems can be turned on only when you’re spending time in the garage. Adding insulation also helps control the climate, making the garage feel more like an indoor room. And don’t settle for a bare bulb in the ceiling. Replacing it with a larger, more attractive fixture can dramatically change the way a garage feels.
ENTERTAINING OPTIONS Although it’s common to have a workshop in a garage, and many people use the space for messy crafting projects or as a home gym, a garage can also become an entertainment space. If you’re a car enthusiast who works on a vintage car or hotrod, Rill says, why not use part of your garage as a place to hang out with friends talking about cars? Case suggests adding a bar area with comfortable seating, even if it’s small, to make the garage an inviting place to hang out with guests. You can also hang up a flat-screen TV and add a refrigerator. Rill has a vintage cooler,
reclaimed from a supermarket, in his garage for soft drinks, water and beer. It’s used all summer when the family is outdoors. Along with year-round entertaining inside a garage, these designers point out that an open garage can be a great place to set up a buffet table during an outdoor summer party. Case suggests adding ceiling-mounted tracks for curtains in an indoor/outdoor material like Sunbrella, so you can draw them behind a serving table in your open garage. Barn doors or other types of upgraded garage door can make the space more attractive and accessible during parties. And upgrading your garage door does more than just add beauty to the exterior of your home, Mannarino says. It also gives you the option of adding more windows, bringing natural light into your garage.
IS THERE AN ATTIC? Many detached garages have a tiny second-floor attic or loft space, Rill says. Even if its ceiling is low, that space can become a furnished clubhouse for younger kids, a place to practice musical instruments or even a cozy guest suite. On one garage project, Rill replaced the solid wooden ceiling in a large detached garage with a perforated metal floor. That gave added natural light to the attic space above, which was then transformed into a kids’ clubhouse.
You got the new house! Now, how do you afford to furnish it? By LAURA MCMULLEN NerdWallet
Congrats on saving up for that down payment! And hats off for committing to mortgage payments, homeowners insurance and property taxes. Now for your reward: home sweet, sparsely furnished home. Furniture shopping may be the last thing you want to do, but it may be necessary if you moved into a bigger space or parted with unwanted goods in that process. Avoid overspending with these strategies.
STICK TO CASH Earmarking savings for furniture can help homeowners pay for it in cash. And that’s the “absolute best way” to buy, says Justin Nichols, certified financial planner and director of operations at Garrett Planning Network. How much to save for furniture
depends on your needs. (More on that later.) If you already bought the house and didn’t budget for furniture, do what you can to stick to cash — and live with some open space while you save. “In the big scheme of things, it’s OK for a room to be sparsely appointed or even sit empty for a while as you save to pay cash,” Nichols says. If you can get a credit card with a no-interest promotional period, and you know you can pay off your purchases in that time, that’s the next best option, Nichols says. The worst choice? Renting-to-own furniture , he says. The Federal Trade Commission warns against it, too. From the FTC website : “(B)uying on a rent-to-own plan can cost double or triple what you would pay for the item with cash, on layaway, or on an installment plan.”
PRIORITIZE PURCHASES
Identify and buy whatever essentials are missing from your new home first. “Formulate your strategy around your most urgent family needs,” says Dan DiClerico, home expert at HomeAdvisor, a digital marketplace for home services. Those needs could include a kitchen table if you never had one in your small apartment, for example, or a crib if you’re expecting a baby. Next, shop for a few big, functional pieces. “Even if you can’t afford to fill the space with furniture, adding a large rug will help the space look full,” says Betsy Helmuth, interior designer and owner of the Affordable Interior Design firm. Rugs also protect your floors and serve as a “decorative statement,” she says. Helmuth recommends the websites RugsUSA and
Wayfair for affordable rugs and suggests saving money by choosing synthetic fibers rather than wool. A sofa, preferably a sectional, will also make your home feel fuller — and cozier, Helmuth says. She adds that for her, “It’s all about Macy’s” for sofa shopping.
INDULGE IN AFFORDABLE EXTRAS If you have cash to spare, buy a few items that are both practical and decorative. These can make an unfamiliar house feel like home and show off your style. For example, Helmuth says, lamps are like “sculptures for the room,” and, unlike overhead lights, they “create cozy pools of light on a human level.” She recommends LampsPlus.com for inexpensive options. Drapes are an “affordable
way to add visual interest to your walls” and “soften up a space,” Helmuth says. She also suggests hanging a few prints, even if they’re placeholders until you can afford nicer, more expensive art. Consider painting the walls, too, which “immediately infuses personality,” Helmuth says. “You will not want to paint later when you have furniture in the space.”
DON’T PAY FULL PRICE You can sometimes save a few hundred dollars by negotiating furniture prices, DeClerico says, particularly on “big-ticket items” like sofas and tables. At independent retailers, he suggests mentioning your interest in supporting local businesses when you haggle. At big-box stores, you’ll have better luck requesting discounts on floor models with wear and tear, he says. Take advantage of
price-matching, coupons and seasonal sales in January, July and holiday weekends, too, he adds. Warehouse clubs like Costco have some “pretty amazing deals,” DiClerico says, although selection may be limited. Furniture from thrift stores, as well as Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and Nextdoor, can also be inexpensive. And, of course, you can’t get any cheaper than handme-downs from family and friends. While paying little for furniture may be financially responsible, Helmuth warns against filling your new home with stuff you don’t love just because it’s cheap or free. “You start creating a space you’re not crazy about,” she says, adding that getting rid of furniture once you own it can be tough. Whatever you buy, she says, “keep in mind it’s going to stay longer than you think.”

TV pitches for prescription drugs will have to include price By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press
WASHINGTON — TV pitches for prescription drugs will soon include the price, giving consumers more information upfront as they make medication choices at a time when new drugs can carry anxiety-inducing prices. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Wednesday the Trump administration has finalized regulations requiring drug companies to disclose list prices of medications costing more than $35 for a month’s supply. “What I say to the companies is if you think the cost of your drug will scare people from buying your drugs, then lower your prices,” Azar said. “Transparency for American patients is here.” In a tweet, President Donald Trump celebrated the announcement, saying: “Historic transparency for American patients is here. If drug companies are ashamed of those prices— lower them!” Drug companies responded that adding prices to their commercials could unintentionally harm patients. “We are concerned that the administration’s rule requiring list prices in direct-to-consumer television advertising could be confusing for patients and may discourage them from seeking needed medical care,” said the Pharmaceutical
Research and Manufacturers of America, the main trade group. But one major firm — Johnson & Johnson, based in New Brunswick, New Jersey — has already started disclosing the cost of its blood thinner Xarelto in TV advertising. And polls indicate many patients are not taking their medications as prescribed because of cost. Drug pricing details are expected to appear in text toward the end of commercials, when potential side effects are disclosed. TV viewers should notice the change later this year, perhaps as early as the summer. The government is hoping that patients armed with prices will start discussing affordability with their doctors, and gradually that will put pressure on drugmakers to keep costs of brand-name drugs in check. Pricing disclosure was part of a multilevel blueprint President Donald Trump announced last year to try to lower prescription drug costs . Democrats say it still won’t force drugmakers to lower what they charge, and they want Medicare to negotiate on behalf of consumers. Leigh Purvis, a pharma expert with AARP’s research division, said disclosure will help dispel a “cloak of darkness” around prices and encourage more informed discussions between patients and their doctors. But she cautioned
against expecting too much. “The overall idea of reducing drug prices is something for which there is no silver bullet,” said Purvis. “This is just one step, one tool in what will have to be a very big arsenal.” Other ideas from the Trump administration include regulations affecting Medicare and legislative proposals in Congress. With the cost of medicines a top concern for voters, Trump and lawmakers of both major political parties want accomplishments they can point to before the 2020 elections. Drugmakers also complained that the price reveal will infringe on their First Amendment free speech rights by forcing them to disclose prices. It’s unclear if that will prompt a court challenge, but Azar points out that the government has for decades required carmakers to post their sticker prices on vehicles. “Prices of automobiles are vastly less important to your health and affordability than drugs,” he said. According to the latest government figures, the 10 most commonly advertised drugs have prices ranging from $488 to $16,938 per month or for a usual course of therapy. The disclosure requirement will not apply to print or radio ads for the foreseeable future. It encompasses all brand name drugs covered by Medicare and Medicaid, which is nearly all. In a twist, enforcement

of the rule will rely on drug companies suing each other over violations under a longstanding federal law that governs unfair trade practices. “There are very large legal practices built on pharma companies suing each other,” Azar said, calling it a “quite effective mechanism.” Most people count on lower-cost generic drugs to manage their health problems, but the advent of highly effective and extremely expensive medications for once-fatal or intractable diseases has put consumers on edge. Some genetic and cellularbased treatments can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, straining on the budgets of insurers and
government programs. A recent poll from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation found that 1 in 3 Americans said they haven’t taken medications as prescribed because of costs. People who take four or more medications, those who spend $100 a month or more on meds, patients in fair to poor health and middle-aged adults are more likely to report affordability problems. Although most patients do not pay the full list prices that will be included in ads, experts say those are still important. Patient copays are often based on list prices. And many people who have high-deductible insurance plans pay list prices because their insurance doesn’t start covering
until patients spend several thousand dollars of their own money. In other economically advanced countries, governments negotiate drug prices to keep medications more affordable for patients. But the U.S. has held back from government-set prices. Azar, who is leading Trump’s efforts on prescription drugs, is a former drug company executive. He held senior posts with Indianapolis-based insulin maker Eli Lilly and Co. after an earlier stint in government service during the George W. Bush administration. The regulations will take effect 60 days after they’re published in the Federal Register.
Juul’s ‘switch’ campaign for smokers draws new scrutiny By MATTHEW PERRONE AP Health Writer
WASHINGTON — The young models and the candy-colored graphics that helped propel Juul to the top of the e-cigarette market are gone. In their place are people like Carolyn, a 54-year-old former smoker featured in new TV commercials touting Juul as an alternative for middle-age smokers. “I don’t think anyone including myself thought that I could make the switch,” Carolyn says, sitting in a suburban living room as piano music quietly plays in the background. The tagline: “Make the switch.” Under intense scrutiny amid a wave of underage vaping, Juul is pushing into television with a multimillion-dollar campaign rebranding itself as a stopsmoking aid for adults trying to kick cigarettes. But the strategy is raising concerns from anti-smoking experts and activists who say the company is making unproven claims for its product. On Thursday, six antitobacco and health groups called on the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates e-cigarettes, to investigate Juul’s marketing efforts across TV, radio and other formats. “Juul, a product that FDA has found to be largely responsible for the current epidemic of youth
usage of highly addictive e-cigarettes, is being advertised and marketed on a massive scale as a smoking cessation product, without the required review and approval by FDA,” said the letter from the American Heart Association, the Truth Initiative, the American Academy of Pediatrics and three other groups. In a statement, FDA spokesman Michael Felberbaum said only that the agency “continues to closely scrutinize potentially false, misleading or unsubstantiated claims” to make sure the public is “not misled into mistakenly using inherently dangerous tobacco products for medical uses.” Neither Juul nor any other e-cigarette has been approved by the FDA to help smokers quit. Indeed, Juul’s website carries the disclaimer: “Juul products are not intended to be used as cessation products, including for the cure or treatment of nicotine addiction” — a point underscored Thursday by a Juul representative. Over the past half-century, the FDA has granted approval to just a few kick-the-habit products, including nicotine gums, patches, lozenges and prescription drugs. Anti-tobacco experts are perplexed that the FDA hasn’t stopped Juul from pitching its nicotine-emitting device to millions of American smokers look-
ing to quit cigarettes. “I think Juul is skirting the edge of the law, and I think that the FDA is letting them get away with it,” said Stan Glantz, a tobacco control researcher at the University of California San Francisco. FDA enforcement is especially important, Glantz and others argue, because e-cigarettes are not subject to the decades-old laws that ban advertising of traditional cigarettes on TV, radio and billboards. Most experts agree ecigarettes are less harmful than the paper-andtobacco variety because they don’t produce all the cancer-causing byproducts found in smoke. But researchers are only beginning to understand the unique risks of e-cigarettes, which emerging science suggests can damage the lungs and airways and contribute to precancerous growths. Those risks have led some experts to conclude that smokers who use both cigarettes and ecigarettes are unlikely to get any health benefit. Survey and study results suggest about 10% to 30% of smokers who vape are able to quit cigarettes. The rest use both products. Juul points to recent survey results that suggest nearly 50% of smokers who tried Juul stopped using cigarettes within three months. The companyfunded research is based on online questionnaires. Participants did not undergo chemical testing
to verify they had quit, a technique used in more rigorous studies. Juul spent more than $11.8 million on the TV ads over the first four months of the year, according to ad tracker iSpot. tv. The spots aired more than 2,800 times on cable channels including A&E, the Food Network and the Discovery Channel. The TV campaign followed more than $75 million in spending on radio, print, online and outdoor display advertising last year, according to Kantar, a tracking and analytics company. That was more than what was spent by tobacco giant Altria, the maker of Marlboro cigarettes and a recent investor in Juul. Because of the restrictions on tobacco advertising, Altria and other tobacco companies spend most of their marketing budgets on in-store displays and promotional mailings to smokers. The Juul ads carefully avoid key words associated with FDA-approved smoking aids, such as “quit,” ”addiction” and “health.” Instead, the company’s testimonials refer to “switching” to Juul to get a “nicotine fix” and “improve” one’s life. “I think the Juul ads are very carefully written and lawyered to confuse the public,” Glantz said. The FDA has broad leeway to decide which regulations it will actually enforce. In the case of ecigarettes, all vaping prod-
ucts now on the market are technically illegal, under an Obama-era regulation that required manufacturers to submit applications by 2018. But recently departed FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb decided the FDA would not enforce the policy until 2021, in part because of industry complaints that earlier regulation would wipe out most vaping businesses. “There are a ton of nonenforcement decisions going on at FDA, and that’s clearly what’s happened with the advertising by Juul,” said Eric Lindblom of Georgetown University’s law school, who previously served as a senior official in the FDA’s tobacco center. The light U.S. approach to regulation contrasts with that of Europe, where nicotine levels are capped and advertising is tightly restricted. Britain and other countries have had success promoting e-cigarettes as a reduced-risk product to smokers without seeing the surge in underage vaping gripping the U.S. But they also ban most e-cigarette advertisements from television, newspapers, magazines and websites. FDA rules permit marketing across all those formats, provided ads carry a single warning message: “This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.” Paul Cheeseman of Philadelphia said smokers may need to try a number
of options before finding something that helps them quit. The 37-year-old accountant quit smoking two years ago after a neighbor gave him a Juul device he had confiscated from his child. Cheeseman said he thinks the Juul ads are effective because they tap into smokers’ negative feelings about being “controlled by the ritual of smoking.” He said Juul works because it helps replace both the nicotine and the physical ritual of smoking. “While Juul might not be the most trustworthy company, and the science isn’t very clear yet, I can positively say that Juul has worked out very well for me,” he said.

Leigh Purvis, a pharma expert with AARP’s research division, said disclosure will help dispel a “cloak of darkness” around prices and encourage more informed discussions between patients and their doctors. But she cautioned
against expecting too much. “The overall idea of reducing drug prices is something for which there is no silver bullet,” said Purvis. “This is just one step, one tool in what will have to be a very big arsenal.” Other ideas from the Trump administration include regulations affecting Medicare and legislative proposals in Congress. With the cost of medicines a top concern for voters, Trump and lawmakers of both major political parties want accomplishments they can point to before the 2020 elections. Drugmakers also complained that the price reveal will infringe on their First Amendment free speech rights by forcing them to disclose prices. It’s unclear if that will prompt a court challenge, but Azar points out that the government has for decades required carmakers to post their sticker prices on vehicles. “Prices of automobiles are vastly less important to your health and affordability than drugs,” he said. According to the latest government figures, the 10 most commonly advertised drugs have prices ranging from $488 to $16,938 per month or for a usual course of therapy. The disclosure requirement will not apply to print or radio ads for the foreseeable future. It encompasses all brand name drugs covered by Medicare and Medicaid, which is nearly all. In a twist, enforcement

of the rule will rely on drug companies suing each other over violations under a longstanding federal law that governs unfair trade practices. “There are very large legal practices built on pharma companies suing each other,” Azar said, calling it a “quite effective mechanism.” Most people count on lower-cost generic drugs to manage their health problems, but the advent of highly effective and extremely expensive medications for once-fatal or intractable diseases has put consumers on edge. Some genetic and cellularbased treatments can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, straining on the budgets of insurers and
government programs. A recent poll from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation found that 1 in 3 Americans said they haven’t taken medications as prescribed because of costs. People who take four or more medications, those who spend $100 a month or more on meds, patients in fair to poor health and middle-aged adults are more likely to report affordability problems. Although most patients do not pay the full list prices that will be included in ads, experts say those are still important. Patient copays are often based on list prices. And many people who have high-deductible insurance plans pay list prices because their insurance doesn’t start covering
until patients spend several thousand dollars of their own money. In other economically advanced countries, governments negotiate drug prices to keep medications more affordable for patients. But the U.S. has held back from government-set prices. Azar, who is leading Trump’s efforts on prescription drugs, is a former drug company executive. He held senior posts with Indianapolis-based insulin maker Eli Lilly and Co. after an earlier stint in government service during the George W. Bush administration. The regulations will take effect 60 days after they’re published in the Federal Register.
Juul’s ‘switch’ campaign for smokers draws new scrutiny By MATTHEW PERRONE AP Health Writer
WASHINGTON — The young models and the candy-colored graphics that helped propel Juul to the top of the e-cigarette market are gone. In their place are people like Carolyn, a 54-year-old former smoker featured in new TV commercials touting Juul as an alternative for middle-age smokers. “I don’t think anyone including myself thought that I could make the switch,” Carolyn says, sitting in a suburban living room as piano music quietly plays in the background. The tagline: “Make the switch.” Under intense scrutiny amid a wave of underage vaping, Juul is pushing into television with a multimillion-dollar campaign rebranding itself as a stopsmoking aid for adults trying to kick cigarettes. But the strategy is raising concerns from anti-smoking experts and activists who say the company is making unproven claims for its product. On Thursday, six antitobacco and health groups called on the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates e-cigarettes, to investigate Juul’s marketing efforts across TV, radio and other formats. “Juul, a product that FDA has found to be largely responsible for the current epidemic of youth
usage of highly addictive e-cigarettes, is being advertised and marketed on a massive scale as a smoking cessation product, without the required review and approval by FDA,” said the letter from the American Heart Association, the Truth Initiative, the American Academy of Pediatrics and three other groups. In a statement, FDA spokesman Michael Felberbaum said only that the agency “continues to closely scrutinize potentially false, misleading or unsubstantiated claims” to make sure the public is “not misled into mistakenly using inherently dangerous tobacco products for medical uses.” Neither Juul nor any other e-cigarette has been approved by the FDA to help smokers quit. Indeed, Juul’s website carries the disclaimer: “Juul products are not intended to be used as cessation products, including for the cure or treatment of nicotine addiction” — a point underscored Thursday by a Juul representative. Over the past half-century, the FDA has granted approval to just a few kick-the-habit products, including nicotine gums, patches, lozenges and prescription drugs. Anti-tobacco experts are perplexed that the FDA hasn’t stopped Juul from pitching its nicotine-emitting device to millions of American smokers look-
ing to quit cigarettes. “I think Juul is skirting the edge of the law, and I think that the FDA is letting them get away with it,” said Stan Glantz, a tobacco control researcher at the University of California San Francisco. FDA enforcement is especially important, Glantz and others argue, because e-cigarettes are not subject to the decades-old laws that ban advertising of traditional cigarettes on TV, radio and billboards. Most experts agree ecigarettes are less harmful than the paper-andtobacco variety because they don’t produce all the cancer-causing byproducts found in smoke. But researchers are only beginning to understand the unique risks of e-cigarettes, which emerging science suggests can damage the lungs and airways and contribute to precancerous growths. Those risks have led some experts to conclude that smokers who use both cigarettes and ecigarettes are unlikely to get any health benefit. Survey and study results suggest about 10% to 30% of smokers who vape are able to quit cigarettes. The rest use both products. Juul points to recent survey results that suggest nearly 50% of smokers who tried Juul stopped using cigarettes within three months. The companyfunded research is based on online questionnaires. Participants did not undergo chemical testing
to verify they had quit, a technique used in more rigorous studies. Juul spent more than $11.8 million on the TV ads over the first four months of the year, according to ad tracker iSpot. tv. The spots aired more than 2,800 times on cable channels including A&E, the Food Network and the Discovery Channel. The TV campaign followed more than $75 million in spending on radio, print, online and outdoor display advertising last year, according to Kantar, a tracking and analytics company. That was more than what was spent by tobacco giant Altria, the maker of Marlboro cigarettes and a recent investor in Juul. Because of the restrictions on tobacco advertising, Altria and other tobacco companies spend most of their marketing budgets on in-store displays and promotional mailings to smokers. The Juul ads carefully avoid key words associated with FDA-approved smoking aids, such as “quit,” ”addiction” and “health.” Instead, the company’s testimonials refer to “switching” to Juul to get a “nicotine fix” and “improve” one’s life. “I think the Juul ads are very carefully written and lawyered to confuse the public,” Glantz said. The FDA has broad leeway to decide which regulations it will actually enforce. In the case of ecigarettes, all vaping prod-
ucts now on the market are technically illegal, under an Obama-era regulation that required manufacturers to submit applications by 2018. But recently departed FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb decided the FDA would not enforce the policy until 2021, in part because of industry complaints that earlier regulation would wipe out most vaping businesses. “There are a ton of nonenforcement decisions going on at FDA, and that’s clearly what’s happened with the advertising by Juul,” said Eric Lindblom of Georgetown University’s law school, who previously served as a senior official in the FDA’s tobacco center. The light U.S. approach to regulation contrasts with that of Europe, where nicotine levels are capped and advertising is tightly restricted. Britain and other countries have had success promoting e-cigarettes as a reduced-risk product to smokers without seeing the surge in underage vaping gripping the U.S. But they also ban most e-cigarette advertisements from television, newspapers, magazines and websites. FDA rules permit marketing across all those formats, provided ads carry a single warning message: “This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.” Paul Cheeseman of Philadelphia said smokers may need to try a number
of options before finding something that helps them quit. The 37-year-old accountant quit smoking two years ago after a neighbor gave him a Juul device he had confiscated from his child. Cheeseman said he thinks the Juul ads are effective because they tap into smokers’ negative feelings about being “controlled by the ritual of smoking.” He said Juul works because it helps replace both the nicotine and the physical ritual of smoking. “While Juul might not be the most trustworthy company, and the science isn’t very clear yet, I can positively say that Juul has worked out very well for me,” he said.

It’s a kid thing I have finally thrown in the towel with this younger generation. Decided all’s lost. The latest piece of news is they don’t want to learn to drive! I adjusted to them not reading or writing cursive. Understood when they can’t tell time with a real clock or dial a phone. Even gave a little when they don’t like to read a book. But not want to drive. That is heresy!! I can’t really believe that in Alaska this is a trend. The distances are too far and the culture too ingrained. But two of my granddaughters don’t like to drive. #3 just flat doesn’t like to drive and does so only to get to work and back. If she needs to go the 120 miles to ‘town’ she relies on someone else to do the driving. And #4 drives only if she can get there on a 4-wheeler. Luckily she takes the back trail to work and back. Their sister (#6), however, would try out for NASCAR if she wasn’t involved in so many other things. And she is a good driver. Fearless, but safe. All of my granddaughters are from the so-called Millennial generation, spanning the years assigned to it by various sociologists and other researchers. #7 could be nudged into the Gen Z group and #1 could be the tail end of Gen X, but basically, Millennial. That seems to be the generation that started the no-driving trend for whatever reason and it is carrying into the next group who are already old enough for that milestone. When I was of the age in Idaho we could get a daylight license at age 14. I was 14 and one minute when I got mine. Of course, like most kids then, I had been driving on the farm for years: moving the tractor, bringing the truck up from the barn, putting the car in the garage after a trip to town. The daylight license had only that one restriction, no night driving, so we could pick up a friend and go to town as long as we were home by dark (and the daily chores were done). That license was for the convenience of the farmers and to a lesser extent the logging community because it allowed the kids to be the gofers legally when needed, but it also gave us a sense of responsibility to have that cherished driver’s license and the knowledge we were trusted (and expected) to be safe and useful. All the guys worked to buy a car. Usually some clunker they could fix up and drive but we girls relied on the family car usually. My dad was a Dodge man, so my ride was pretty conservative. This was the mid-1950s and car manufacturers were still in a post-war frenzy trying to decide what would become the new style. I remember a Kaiser one of the older guys had (his dad bought it for him) — bright blue, and flat, not the upside down bathtub so prevalent after the war. The owner ran with my older cousins. Earlier Kaisers had been the rounded body but Henry J. was the first manufacturer to try out a new look. Remember Studebakers? The grill looked like a rocket. They didn’t last long, for whatever reason, but they were distinctive. And sun visors? Every manufacturer had at least one model with a sun visor during those years. Cars today all look alike. Maybe that is why kids don’t care to learn to drive: they can’t tell their car from all the others in the parking lot. Of all the current idiosyncrasies this is the one that really flummoxes me. Independence was so crucial to becoming an adult, or at least thinking one was an adult when my generation was coming up and that driver’s license was the first step toward moving on. I know society has changed, for better or worse, but when did kids change from demanding independence to letting mom and dad do it? I guess this is where I admit to being an old grouch, or at least too old to understand modern kids. I try to remember what old custom I didn’t embrace that my parents might have thought was sacred, but can’t think of one. I didn’t wear a slip to school one day and my mom told me I was acting like a hussy. I had on a black gabardine skirt well below my knees. How she knew I wasn’t wearing a slip I’ll never know. But that is the only breach of decorum/tradition I can think of. And, incidentally, slips are certainly out of fashion these days. So maybe when cars are self-driving no one will need to know how to drive and these kids are just preparing for that eventuality. Some day some GenZer will write a column about his ancient greatgrandma who could drive a car and even find her way with a map that didn’t talk to her. Ancient Days!!
Meet the Clarion: Diane Somers By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion
Diane Somers sees a lot of variety throughout her eight-hour days at the Peninsula Clarion. She is the first face you see when you walk through the door and the voice you’ll hear when you call the main line. “Currently, I’m working at the front desk shooting the breeze with customers, answering the phones and at the same time working on dummying the Clarion, the Juneau Empire, and Capital City Weekly,” Somers said. When she’s dummying a paper, she’s setting up the newspaper pages in the Clarion’s system so that everyone knows how many pages and what kind of space is available for news content. In between answering phones and dummying the papers, she also works on special projects. “This seems like a lot of responsibilities and variety throughout an eight-hour day,” Somers said. “I like helping the company get their product out to the readers that is interesting for them to pick up.” Somers moved to Alaska from Michigan, following her mom and dad. “Most all my family moved up here in the late ‘70s and now most of us are Alaskans through and through,” she said. Somers spent her summers working at a fish cannery while getting her degree in fine arts. These days, in her free time, she works on her jewelry business, HeyWire Jewelry.

“I’m a morning person, most days, I’m up at 3 a.m. to have a coffee or two, get my house work done, play with beads,” she said. She also loves walking her dog, Pete, and spoiling her nieces and nephews. “I have made sure to take little nieces and nephews to Dairy Queen to lure them into taking care of me when I turn 105,” she said. Somers and her husband have been married for 30 years after meeting at Faith Baptist Church in Anchorage. “Meeting at church, we dated for about
two weeks and out of the blue he asked me to marry him — I said ‘hang loose baby’ and said ‘yes I think I will,’” she said. Currently, Somers and her husband attend College Heights Baptist Church on Kalifornsky Beach Road. “I’m hoping he didn’t marry the wrong one 30 years ago or we’re in trouble,” Somers said. After a day at work, Somers gets home and hugs her husband. “And I try not to be asked to cook supper,” she said. “Yep, I bet he married the wrong one 30 years ago, yikes!”
Celebrate our students!: Sam Lares At the Kenai River Campus of Kenai Peninsula College, we like to celebrate our students and share their successes with our community. Here is one of many: Sam Lares wasn’t hopeful about his chances before his first class at the Kenai River Campus, but his experience in the school’s process technology program altered his perspective. From the beginning, he was captivated. “The degree completely shifted my world,” said Sam, who graduated in the spring of 2015 and has been working as an industry technician ever since. “(Starting at school,) I had zero confidence in myself academically, rock bottom,” he said. “Day One, my class was told by the PRT advisor Jeff Laube, ‘Aim for a 4.0 or don’t waste your time.’ That got my attention and pumped me up. I didn’t think I was the best student in my class, but I knew I would be willing to commit more time and ‘put in the extra pushups.’ Being able to apply my work experience to school made my confidence rocket. After seeing how dedicated my instructors were, how motivated and driven they were to shape technicians, I was hooked.” “This wasn’t like any other school I’d been to,” added Sam, a graduate of Valdez High School. “The courses were clear and coordinated. Every single course made sense, and I could easily visualize each step making me a more marketable professional. Most of my instructors had real-world success as instrument techs, engineers, facility/field operators — and sometimes all three. I think the most common attribute among all my instructors and professors was that they didn’t need to teach — they wanted to.” Before he had even graduated, Sam, now 28, had landed a North Slope job, and he had two more offers a month later. He jumped at the chance to earn more money working for Chugach Alaska Services Incorporated at the Valdez Marine Terminal, and a few months later he landed a full-time technician position with Alyeska Pipeline Service Company’s utilities/operations group. For Alyeska, he now works at Power Vapor, an assignment he calls “a technician’s dream.” Power Vapor handles multiple complex processes, and Sam

is part of an “incredible” team full of gifted professionals. “The operators I work with have helped develop methods to save millions yearly by simply adjusting our control methods,” he said. “We’re constantly brainstorming and designing, developing, and suggesting plans to engineering to help our facility strive.” Financial security, meanwhile, has allowed Sam and his wife to thrive. With Sam’s brother — who first told him about KPC’s technology programs — they have been investing in real estate, and Sam eventually hopes to pursue another degree. He encourages others to take advantage of the programs that KPC offered. “If someone was looking for a career, and they have an interest in teamwork, mechanical, electrical or broad process in general where tuning and troubleshooting is involved, I’d highly recommend process technology or instrumentation,” Sam said. “I know some people
are uncomfortable with being maybe the oldest student, or maybe someone like myself that didn’t have mentors or guidance through (public) school. Don’t sweat it! This is a very sound investment that will pay for itself in a couple of short shifts.” Sam has seen such results in the lives of his classmates, not just his own. “Some of the best students had zero technical background. I remember one awesome classmate being a retired high school teacher who was immediately hired by one of the best employers in Alaska. Every student and friend I studied with is currently living the Alaskan dream and charging forward to become a leader in our industry. The friends and contacts I’ve made at KPC span every large producer in the state and across multiple states.” We congratulate Sam on a career path that provides him with financial security and job satisfaction while also helping to keep Alaska strong. We are proud of his success, and proud to call him our own.

Dear Readers: Today is MOTHER’S DAY, a time to honor our moms and their influence on our lives. Take a moment to celebrate your mom. You don’t have to buy a fancy gift; just tell her you’re grateful for her. If she’s no longer with you, find another way to applaud moms everywhere. -- Heloise

When you push, OSHA says, you use more muscles over a greater area of your body. Pulling the same object? You can risk muscle strain -- a painful injury. - Heloise

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, May 12, 2019: This year, you flow from playful and fun-loving to serious and determined. People might often wonder who they’ll run into when visiting with you! If you’re single, many people would love to be your sweetie. Be discriminating. If you’re attached, your significant other enjoys your multifaceted personality. VIRGO can be very critical of you. Chin up. Don’t let this person get to you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH This a.m., you might find it hard to contain your happy and jubilant mood. Your awareness of what you must accomplish today helps you settle in, to a degree. Others admire your sense of commitment and followthrough. Try not to fuss too much with a friend or associate. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow. This Week: Deal with a work-related issue. Defer to a partner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Accept the slow pace of a leisurely morning. You might enjoy watching your Sunday programs or, if you’re attached, having some extra snuggle time. What starts as an a.m. diversion could become a full day of relaxation and smiles. Tonight: Frolic away. This Week: Speak your mind. Throw yourself into a project. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Make Sunday calls early in the day. You might make or confirm plans for later. However, your mind and body would appreciate some downtime, if possible. Build some extra time into your schedule for a snooze or a bit of R and R. Tonight: Order in. Play it low-key. This Week: You seem destined to be busy with people. Get ready to make an important decision. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH This a.m., you might spontaneously decide to go out for brunch. You enjoy yourself while out and about,

an old hosiery, and place in water overnight. Then use this to water the garden. Finally, after a day of digging in the grass, dirt and garden, scrub your hands with hand soap and a gob of grounds to exfoliate naturally. -- Heloise P.S. Ask the neighborhood coffee shop for its used grounds, too!
By Dave Green
perhaps squeezing in a little shopping. By afternoon, you might discover that visiting with a friend who calls or who you run into is a lot of fun. Getting together and catching up on news delights both of you. Tonight: A friend surprises you. This Week: Stay anchored, and do not lose sight of your priorities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You naturally put your best foot forward, thereby making the impossible possible. Your attitude might be more admired and observed than you’re aware it is. Others learn from you simply by example. Use care with spending in the afternoon. Tonight: The only answer is yes. This Week: You cannot and will not hold back. You are likely to say exactly what you are thinking. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Although you might have a slow start on the day, once you get going, you could be difficult to stop. Others might be surprised by the sudden change of energy and all the enthusiasm that emanates from you. Later in the day, news could surprise you. Tonight: Rent a movie. This Week: You charge into Monday, but become concerned with finances. Consider putting in some overtime. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Use the morning to touch base with a dear friend whose news you want to catch up on. This person might mean more to you than you think. Note your feelings when you speak to this person. Take some much-needed personal time in the p.m. Tonight: Make it early. This Week: You drag into Monday, but perk up mid-Tuesday. There is no stopping you now. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your intensity takes you to a new level of understanding. You can identify with someone and how he or she experiences life. A deep discussion ensues. Make time to join a group of friends at a sporting event or a party. Tonight: Celebrating the moment. This Week: Monday and Thursday
you feel empowered. Lie low midweek. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might succeed in taking the day off and splitting town. A change of scenery helps you recycle. You also might enjoy a hike or a visit to a famous flea market. Getting away from the tried and true does wonders for you. Tonight: Your smile draws someone in closer. This Week: Stay on top of a professional issue. You will find a solution sooner than you think. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Respond to another person’s attempt to draw you out. Be flattered that this person wants to get to know you better. Because of recent events, you see him or her in a different light. For some of you, a new romance could be kindling. Tonight: Try a new and exotic type of cuisine. This Week: Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. Meanwhile, stay centered at work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others continue to seek you out. You feel flattered and cared about. You don’t feel the need to commit to any set of plans; however, if intrigued by an invitation, then by all means, head out the door. One-on-one relating earmarks the p.m. Tonight: Have a long-overdue discussion. This Week: One-on-one relating draws a strong response. Be willing to take a leap in faith. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH If you can, defer to another person. Not having to always be accountable for plans and responsible for getting others together might be a delight. Sometimes, changing roles is important. An unexpected revelation occurs in the afternoon. Before commenting, digest what you’re hearing. Tonight: Go with the flow. This Week: Defer to others. You will learn a lot more about what is on their minds. BORN TODAY Nurse Florence Nightingale (1820), actress Katharine Hepburn (1907), baseball player Yogi Berra (1925)

School Year Review
Set some goals
Mini Fact:
What are some of your goals and dreams? Check the boxes that include your ideas, then keep this page so that you can look back at it over the next few months and see the progress you’ve made. • I want to learn a new sport, . I can start by finding out about lessons nearby and asking my parents if they can help. • I want to get more involved where I worship. I might: join the choir. go to programs for kids. help in the nursery during services. offer to pass out programs or kids’ packets before services. • I want to make some money. I might: mow lawns. help with younger kids while moms are busy. take care of pets while the owners are away. clean the house. • I want to learn something new about music. I might: research an instrument I’d like to play. attend concerts with different types of music, then talk about the differences with my parents or friends.
Experts say it’s important to think about your goals and dreams while you’re very young. photo courtesy Pasco County Schools
Does your school year end soon? With summer near, lots of kids are thinking about summer vacation, camp or just relaxing. This is also a great time to think about your school year.
Looking back and ahead
Reviewing the last year can be fun. You can remember your favorite moments and be proud of all you accomplished. Thinking about these things can also help you set some goals for the summer and for the school year to come. Dreaming about your future and setting goals help you understand time in different ways. You learn to: • manage your time (getting homework and chores done, getting to school on time), and • think about your lifetime (what you’d like to do, and the kind of person you’d like to be). Setting goals also teaches you to work with others and to take a large task and break it into smaller steps.
What I’ve Achieved

School review
Dreams and goals
A dream is something that you hope or wish for — maybe something that seems out of reach. A goal is something you hope to achieve. You might start with a dream and turn it into a goal by deciding on specific steps to reach it. A goal may be more practical, or sensible, than a dream, but both are important.
Try this exercise at home or in your classroom. Take a sheet of paper. Draw a line down the middle. On the left side, write What I’ve Achieved. On the right side, write What I Want to Achieve. In this column, try to: • identify your favorite project from the year; • remember the funniest moment; • recall books you read and enjoyed; • name something you did that you’re proud of; • decide what subject you improved most in; • decide what your favorite subject was.
What I Want to Achieve
In this column, think about your goals for the short term, or not too far in the future. What would you like to do this summer? Can you help your family plan a vacation? Can you finish a project that you’ve been working on? What about in school? What do you hope to learn next year?

Cook’s Corner
Climate change is a doubleedged sword when it comes to droughts and rainfall. On one hand, higher temperatures mean the air can hold more moisture. That can mean more rainfall. On the other hand, higher temperatures mean more evaporation. That can mean more drying and more droughts. All together, climate change will make some areas drier and some areas wetter. The best thing we can do is study the science and history of an area so that we can be as prepared as possible. adapted from climatekids.nasa.gov
