3 rescued after plane crashes in Prince William Sound ANCHORAGE — The Coast Guard says a plane has crashed in Alaska's Prince William Sound. Officials say all three people on board the Cessna A185F Skywagon were picked up Tuesday by good Samaritans following the crash. Two of the people were being flown by helicopter to an Anchorage hospital. The other person was being transported by boat for treatment in the community of Whittier. Officials say the extent of injuries was not immediately known. The Coast Guard says Cordova police reported at 2 p.m. that the Cessna crashed into Cascade Bay. The incident comes one day after a passenger and the pilot of a Beaver floatplane were killed when the aircraft crashed in Metlakatla Harbor on Monday afternoon. — Associated Press

‘Don’t forget the small town of Nikiski’ Nikiski grads say goodbye, look to future By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
For Nikiski High School’s graduating class of 2019, the excitement of being done with high school was palpable. Some are leaving the state to pursue further education, some
are heading north to the oil fields and others are sticking around to join the local workforce. And even though their futures might look very different, these kids have spent years together inside the classrooms and out, and the thought of no longer see-
ing their friends every day made the evening a little bittersweet for many of the 54 seniors who graduated on Monday night in front of a packed gymnasium. During her speech, class salutatorian Bethany Carstens spoke about staying in touch with her class-
mates as they enter the next chapters of their lives. “It is sad that we will go our separate ways, but I’m excited for each of you and excited to see where life takes us,” Carstens said. Carstens also talked about the uncertainty of See GRAD, page A14
Kenai’s historic chapel gets makeover By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Visitors to Kenai’s Old Town may have noticed some construction at the Saint Nicholas Memorial Chapel. Restoration efforts are underway. At the beginning of the month, restoration experts began patching up and waterproofing the roof of the iconic chapel in Kenai’s Old Town, which sits across the street from the Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Church. Dorothy Gray is the treasurer of the nonprofit group Russian Orthodox Sacred Sites in Alaska, the secretary and treasurer for Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox Church in Kenai and a lifelong member of the church. She said the chapel is in great need of repair. The restoration efforts are broken up into three phases. The first is to repair the roof, and to waterproof it for years to come. The origi-

nal cedar shakes will be replaced with cedar shingles, slowing the wood’s deterioration at the walls and corners of the building. Gray said the roof phase should be finished soon. The sec-
ond phase should begin later this summer, with an assessment of the condition of the chapel’s logs. The third phase, which will come at a later date, will address the church’s foundation and
District employees take vote on whether to strike By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
School district employees are voting on whether or not they plan to strike after contract negotiations were left unresolved last week. Since May 8, the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and two employee associations, Kenai Peninsula Education Association and Kenai Peninsula Education Support Association, have been negotiating a
contract in several collective bargaining meetings. Thursday’s session ended with no contract, and no plans for further meetings. “Negotiations between teachers and classified school employees, including classroom paraeducators, custodians, secretaries, nurses and food service staff working for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District have deteriorated leaving both unions looking at a possible strike,” a Thursday
press release from the Kenai Peninsula Education Association said. Before last week’s contract negotiations ended in a standstill, the associations took a soft survey to gauge members’ willingness to strike if their most recent proposal was rejected by the district. David Brighton, president of the Kenai Peninsula Education Association, said around 84% of their certified members See STRIKE, page A3

Soldotna City Council will hold a public hearing on proposed regulations for short-term rentals in the city Wednesday night at their council meeting. The ordinance aims to regulate short-term rentals in residential dwellings, like Airbnb and VRBO. Currently, Soldotna requires a conditional use permit for traditional bed and breakfast accommodations, but has no provisions for the type of short-term rentals growing more popular in the city. The new ordinance was drafted after two work sessions, one in February and one in June. The ordinance starts by replacing the term “bed and breakfast” with “short-term rental unit,” and then creates two classes — owner occupied and non-owner occupied. The new codes will allow for owner occupied shortterm rentals to operate within residential zoning districts. This is a departure from the current standards that require traditional B&Bs to obtain a conditional use permit prior to operating. See B&B, page A3
House panel refuses to move Dunleavy schools bill JUNEAU (AP) — The fight over whether the Legislature legally funded public education in Alaska for next year may be headed to the courts. The Legislature says it appropriated funding for the next fiscal year in last year's budget in a process called forward funding. But the Dunleavy administration says that was unconstitutional, backed up by an opinion from the attorney general. The House Finance Committee on Tuesday refused to advance a bill from Gov. Mike Dunleavy, which the administration says is vital to ensure schools are funded. Legislative Legal Services Director Megan Wallace told the committee Monday she and other attorneys in her division believe the appropriations made last year are valid and would withstand any constitutional challenge. Rep. Gary Knopp said the issue presents a question the courts should answer.
Air carrier suspends operations after 2nd crash By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — An Alaska air carrier involved in two deadly floatplane crashes in a week has voluntarily suspended operations, federal officials said Tuesday. The halt of flightseeing and commuter flights is in place indefinitely, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The action comes after the passenger and the pilot of a Beaver floatplane
operated by Taquan Air were killed when the single-engine aircraft crashed in Metlakatla Harbor on Monday afternoon during a 22-mile commuter flight from Ketchikan. Witnesses reported to federal investigators that one of the two floats on the plane dug into the water during landing, causing the right wing to hit the water and then the aircraft to cartwheel several times, according to Clint Johnson, chief of the NaSee AIR, page A14

Another day of tornadoes in Midwest By JIM SALTER and KEN MILLER Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — A dangerous storm system in the Midwest produced dozens of tornadoes for the second consecutive day Tuesday, demolishing a racetrack grandstand and damaging buildings in a wild animal park in Missouri but sparing St. Louis, the biggest city in its path. Two deaths, both in Missouri, were blamed on the severe weather that started in the Southern Plains Monday night and moved to the northeast. Missouri and parts of Illinois and Arkansas were in the crosshairs Tuesday. By Wednesday, the storm will move into Great Lakes region, where it will weaken. But another storm system was gathering steam for later this week, potentially covering an area from Texas to Chicago, according to the National Weather Service. The skies grew dark over St. Louis before nightfall Tuesday and a tornado warning was issued for the city and surrounding suburbs, but the storm passed overhead without producing the rotation that often spawns tornadoes and the city was mostly spared except for heavy rain. “The danger has passed for the St. Louis area,” said National Weather Service St. Louis meteorologist Jason Gasselin said. The NWS Storm Prediction Center website listed 37 reports of tornadoes on Tuesday in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. A tornado early Tuesday near Tulsa International Airport injured one person and damaged about a dozen homes. The airport was unscathed, but passengers were moved into shelters for about 30 minutes and several flights were delayed. Tulsa Area Emergency Management spokeswoman Kim MacLeod said crews rescued a man who was pinned under a tree. In Arkansas, crews were working Tuesday afternoon to free a woman

trapped under a tree topped by strong winds. Arkansas Department of Emergency Management spokeswoman Melody Daniel said the woman was alert and talking. Storms Monday evening flipped campers at Lucas Oil Speedway in Hickory County, Missouri, injuring seven people, four of whom were taken to hospitals. The speedway’s grandstand also was destroyed, forcing cancellation of racing this weekend that was expected to draw about 3,000 campers. Another twister Tuesday afternoon hit a hit a drive-thru wild animal park in southern Missouri. Webster County Emergency Management Director Tom Simmons said buildings were damaged at the Wild Animal Safari near Strafford, but there were no reports that people or animals were injured. All of the animals were accounted for. Simmons said about a halfdozen homes were damaged in the county. A tractor-trailer was blown off a highway. Heavy rain was called a contributing factor in the deaths of two people in a traffic accident Tuesday near Springfield, Missouri. The Missouri State Highway Patrol said an SUV skidded across the center of U.S. 160 and struck a tractor-trailer, killing both people in the SUV, Brandon Beasley, 23,
and his 24-year-old wife, Christin, of Willard, Missouri. Missouri authorities also reported several water rescues from flash flooding. Among them was an 18-year-old woman who was swept off a flooded road near Joplin Monday and stranded overnight until nearby residents heard her yelling. She had only minor injuries. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson declared a state of emergency, citing worsening flood concerns and soil inundation, as well as forecasts calling severe storms and possible tornadoes into Wednesday morning. “The very heavy rainfall yesterday and today, combined with saturated soil and very high water levels on many rivers and streams have created dangerous conditions around the state,” Parson, a Republican, said in a statement. Flooding was also an issue in Oklahoma, where the Oklahoma Department of Transportation shut down Interstate 40 in El Reno, about 25 mile west of Oklahoma City, because of high water. The National Weather Service says up to 5 inches of rain had fallen since Monday. In El Reno and Stillwater, home to Oklahoma State University about 55 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, emergency responders rescued people
from their homes. With a potentially dangerous storm bearing down on St. Louis, baseball’s Cardinals were taking no chances, calling off a Tuesday night game against the cross-state rival Kansas City Royals. Sure enough, a severe storm rumbled through downtown St. Louis around the time the game would have started. The storm forced Lambert Airport in St. Louis to halt all flights for about an hour, before resuming Tuesday evening. There were no immediate reports of major damage in the region. Heavy snow melt from the north and significant spring rains have led to waves of flooding in Missouri, and President Donald Trump on Monday issued a major disaster declaration for 13 counties in the state damaged by March flooding. The Missouri River is expected to reach major flood stage by the end of the week at Jefferson City, Hermann, St. Charles and elsewhere. The levee near Jefferson City’s airport holds back water up to 30 feet, Cole County Emergency Manager Bill Farr said, but the National Weather Service expects a crest of 32.3 feet Thursday. Sandbagging won’t help because the levee is too long, he said. “We’re just keeping our fingers crossed,” Farr said.

Linda Leigh Craemer May 5, 2019
With her children by her side, Linda Leigh Craemer, of Yakima, WA, passed away May 5, 2019 at the age of 71. Linda grew up in Marin County, California, where she was an active member of 4H and graduated from Novato High School in 1965. After marrying Tad in 1968, they made their home in Soldotna, Alaska, where she dedicated her life to raising her children. She was present wherever her children were - volunteering at schools, chaperoning field trips, or driving all over the state for sporting events. Her love and kindness extended to all who crossed her path, so much so that she was known as “other mother” to many of the youth in the Soldotna area. Her home was always open for a cold drink, a warm hug, a home-cooked meal, or a bed to sleep in. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Linda is survived by her husband of 51 years, Tad, of Yakima, WA, son Jack Craemer (and wife Kara) of Hope, ID, daughter Marcy Ray (and husband Dan) of Holly Springs, NC, son Jon Knight (and wife Janice) of Yakima, WA, her sisters Cherita Cain and Carol Ludlow of Petaluma, CA, seven grandchildren, and many extended family members in California. She was preceded in death by her infant daughter, Peace Marie, and her parents, Frank and Marcella Murphy. A memorial service and Celebration of Life will be held at 2pm on July 20, 2019 at Unity in Marin, 600 Palm Drive, Novato, CA 94949. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice benefiting children.

What others say
Protection for journalists safeguards a free society Bryan Carmody says several San Francisco police officers tried to break into his Outer Richmond home with a sledgehammer, detained him in handcuffs for hours, and seized computers, notes and more from his residence and office. Barring some suspicion that Carmody committed an offense other than journalism, the police might as well have taken their sledgehammer to the United States Constitution. The officers appear to be trying to determine who leaked a sensitive police report on Public Defender Jeff Adachi’s death to Carmody, a freelancer who sold the story to local television stations. Carmody told The Chronicle that officers had asked him for his source two weeks earlier and that he had declined to cooperate, which is precisely the sort of refusal that shield laws in California and other states are designed to facilitate. Journalists must be able to keep their sources confidential to conduct the unfettered reporting on government that the First Amendment protects. The excessive police tactics Carmody described — in an account that authorities have not contradicted — put President Trump’s antipress “enemy of the people” rhetoric into action right here in the putative headquarters of the resistance. Police should return the freelancer’s property and seek it in court if they believe they have a legitimate case. California’s shield law, which voters enshrined in the state Constitution in 1980, protects journalists from being held in contempt for refusing a subpoena to provide their sources, notes or any other unpublished material obtained in the course of news-gathering. State law also prohibits search warrants from being issued for material protected by the shield law. That suggests the warrants police served on Carmody’s home and office last week should not have existed. Although the warrants were approved by judges on grounds that have not been made public, District Attorney George Gascón said police did not run the search requests by his office before going to court. They could have used the legal advice. As Society of Professional Journalists President J. Alex Tarquinio rightly noted of the raid, “One expects this level of disregard for the value of press freedom in an autocratic country without the First Amendment. In this country, journalists have the right to gather and report on information.” Adachi, 59, who died in February of what an autopsy attributed to cocaine, alcohol and heart disease, was an outspoken public defender, the only elected one in the state, and a prominent antagonist of the police. So when details of his last hours that seemed calculated to posthumously smear him emerged thanks to an apparent police leak, the department took a beating from Adachi’s allies on the Board of Supervisors and beyond. A police statement on the raid alluded to that outcry, saying the “citizens and leaders of the city … demanded a complete and thorough investigation into this leak.” Mayor London Breed likewise defended the police, saying, “Something was done that should not have been done, and we are definitely trying to get to the bottom of it.” The police have the right and presumably the investigative skills to root out the malicious gossips within their ranks, but they have no right to storm the homes and offices of journalists when they run out of leads. Whether the journalism at hand is the finest example of the craft — or whether the reporter is paid by the story or by a powerful institution that employs him — is irrelevant. Such an assault on a journalist should be regarded as an intolerable assault on journalism itself. — The San Francisco Chronicle, May 13
A cautionary tale from Montana A laska V oices S teve L uebeck
and
R ich D ay
We’re blessed with world-class fishing in our home state of Montana. But as any angler knows, it simply isn’t fair to compare Lower 48 fishing to Alaska fishing. The trout are great here at home. But we go to Alaska for salmon. It’s been our good fortune to take a number of fishing trips to Alaska over the years. Yakutat. Kenai. Bristol Bay. These are the scenes for some of our most cherished memories. Over the years we’ve developed a deep respect and appreciation for Bristol Bay’s world-class salmon runs, and observed the ongoing debate over the proposed Pebble Mine. With the permitting process underway, we feel the need to share our experience with a copper mine of similar size. The Berkeley Pit abuts the City of Butte on Silver Bow Creek in southwestern Montana, headwaters of the Columbia River’s Clark Fork. It closed in 1982, leaving behind a huge open pit filled with 50 billion gallons of toxic water (for comparison, the current Pebble proposal will create a
pit filled with 61 billion gallons). The Berkeley Pit is full of highly contaminated water, containing copper, arsenic and other heavy metals that leach out of the rock. In November 2016, a flock of snow geese landed in the pit to escape a snowstorm. Thousands died, the polluted water corroding their throats. This contaminated water requires perpetual treatment. The highly toxic water, which has already polluted our groundwater and the neighboring river, must be captured and treated every day, every year, forever in order to prevent further pollution downstream. It is now one of the country’s biggest Superfund sites. All together, it polluted more than 100 miles of waterways in the upper Clark Fork River and destroyed the entire aquatic environment in the first 30 miles above Warm Springs Creek. As Montanans, we are intimately familiar with the mining industry and honor its place in our history. We’ve worked at mines and have family members who were miners. But we also live with mining’s other legacy: permanent pollution. It is impossible to overstate the lasting harm this mine has caused to water and wildlife. A thousand years from now, future generations will still be faced with pollution from the Berkeley Pit. Water pollution is a common occurrence at copper mines where, despite the best
intentions of mining companies, it is not a matter of if water pollution occurs, but when. A 2012 report shows that nearly every operating U.S. copper mine has resulted in spills and failed to contain toxic releases. It is one thing to treat water in a place like Butte, where we have roads and other infrastructure. It’s another thing entirely to attempt in remote Bristol Bay. The current Pebble Mine proposal is smaller than the original, but that doesn’t mean it is small. The Berkeley Pit is massive: a mile and a half wide and nearly 2,000 feet deep. Even at that massive size, Pebble is certain to get much, much bigger. One thing you learn from living in a mining town is that mining companies continue to mine as long as there are valuable minerals in the ground. Even though the Berkeley Pit is now a Superfund site, mining has continued in the Continental Pit immediately adjacent. It defies our imagination to picture this level of disruption in the pristine headwaters of Bristol Bay, where the economic driver is salmon. Come to Butte. See for yourself. There are plenty of places to mine copper, but no place left on earth with salmon runs like Bristol Bay. Steve Luebeck and Rich Day are sportsmen from Butte, Montana.

AG Barr: nationwide rulings are hampering Trump’s agenda By MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr is taking on another item from President Donald Trump’s agenda, railing against judges who issue rulings blocking nationwide policies. In a speech Wednesday night, Barr took aim at the broad judicial power, arguing that federal judges who have issued the so-called nationwide injunctions are hampering Trump’s efforts on immigration, health care and other issues with “no clear end in sight.” It is the latest example of Barr moving to embrace Trump’s political talking points. The attorney general is traditionally expected to carry out the president’s agenda as a member of the Cabinet while trying to avoid political bias. Democrats have cast Barr as an attorney general who acts more like Trump’s personal lawyer instead of the nation’s chief law enforcement officer. At a re-election rally earlier this month, Trump railed against “activist judges who issue nationwide injunctions based on their personal
beliefs,” which he said “undermine democracy and threaten the rule of law.” Administration officials have often complained about the proliferation of nationwide injunctions since Trump became president. Vice President Mike Pence said a few weeks ago that the administration intends to challenge the right of federal district courts to issue such rulings. “The legal community and the broader public should be more concerned, particularly about this trend of nationwide injunctions,” Barr said. Barr highlighted the legal fights that have happened in federal courts across the country over Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, an Obama-era program that shields young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children but don’t have legal status to protect them from deportation. The Justice Department, under former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, argued that the Obama administration acted unlawfully when it implemented DACA. Texas and other Republican-led states eventually sued and won a partial victory in a federal court in Texas.
Civil rights groups, advocates for immigrants and Democratic-led states all have sued to prevent the end of the program. A three-judge panel of the federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled that the administration decision to end DACA was arbitrary and capricious. Barr said Trump “lost much of his leverage” in negotiations with congressional Democrats, who were pushing for a permanent solution for DACA recipients, after one district court judge issued an order forcing the administration to maintain the program nationwide. “Unsurprisingly, those negotiations did not lead to a deal,” Barr said. In his speech to the American Law Institute, Barr argued it isn’t about partisanship and said the approach taken by judges who issue these nationwide rulings departs not only from the limitations of the Constitution, but also from the “traditional understanding of the role of courts.” The Justice Department will continue to oppose such rulings, he said. “Nationwide injunctions not only allow district courts to wield unprecedented power, they also allow district courts to wield it asymmetrically,” Barr said.

Nation/World Dual briefings on Capitol Hill focus on Iran policy By LISA MASCARO, ROBERT BURNS and SUSANNAH GEORGE Associated Press
WASHINGTON — As questions mount over President Donald Trump’s tough talk on Iran, top national security officials headed to Capitol Hill Tuesday to brief Congress. But skeptical Democrats sought out a second opinion, holding their own briefing with former Obama administration officials. The competing closeddoor sessions Tuesday, unusual and potentially polarizing, come after weeks of escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf that have raised alarms over a possible military confrontation with Iran. Lawmakers are warning the Trump administration it cannot take the country into war without approval from Congress, and the backto-back briefings show the wariness among Democrats, and some Republicans, over the White House’s sudden policy shifts in the Middle East. Trump, veering between bombast and conciliation in his quest to contain Iran, threatened Monday to meet provocations by Iran with “great force,” but also said he’s willing to negotiate. Before Tuesday’s hearing, Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo tweeted that he would “explain the prudent steps we’re taking to deter violence, protect American interests and support the brave Iranian people.” And Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan suggested the U.S. military response to Iranian threats has already had an effect. Shanahan said military moves by the United States have given Iran “time to recalculate” and as a result the potential for attacks on Americans is “on hold.” He cautioned that that doesn’t mean the threats have gone away. The U.S. sent an aircraft carrier strike group, four bomber aircraft and other assets to the region, and is moving a Patriot missile battery to an unnamed country in the area. The Trump administration has evacuated non-essential personnel from Iraq, amid unspecified threats the administration says are linked to Iran. Trump inconsistencies have “multiplied the risks” from Iran, according to House intelligence committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who spoke to reporters after Democrats received a closed-door briefing from former CIA Director John Brennan and former State Department official Wendy Sherman, who negotiated the Iran nuclear deal.

Brennan told House Democrats Iran believes Trump wants regime change and while Tehran wants to avoid conflict, the country’s leadership will not capitulate to Trump. Sherman warned that reckless behavior by the Trump administration in Iran is hurting credibility and undermining moderates in the country, according to a person in the room who was not authorized to discuss the private meeting. House Democrats invited Brennan and Sherman after the administration announced Secretary of State Pompeo, Shanahan and other top brass, including Gen. Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, would appear for
closed-door briefings Tuesday afternoon with both the House and Senate. Schiff declined to comment on what was said in the meeting with Brennan. The California Democrat said he has received the key intelligence assessments, but he still has questions for the Trump administration on Iran. “What I’m interested in more right now is what the administration’s strategy is — if they have one — to keep us out of war.” Sen. Marco Rubio, a member of the committee, said the intelligence demonstrates an undeniable threat from Iran and suggested lawmakers who say otherwise are doing so for political reasons.
At abortion clinics, new laws sow confusion, uncertainty By KIM CHANDLER and SUDHIN THANAWALA Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Abortion clinics are facing protesters emboldened by a flurry of restrictive new state laws as they reassure confused patients that the laws have yet to take effect, abortion providers said. “We have actually had many people calling and say, ‘Are you open? Are you still seeing patients? Is abortion now illegal? Will something happen to me if I come for care?’” said Dr. Willie Parker, one of two doctors providing abortions at the Alabama Women’s Center in Huntsville recently. Last week, Alabama enacted the nation’s strictest abortion law, making performing abortions a felony at any stage of pregnancy with almost no exceptions. Women who came through the doors held hands with loved ones or curled into chairs as they waited. A television set to a cable news channel aired a segment about Alabama’s abortion law. It is one of only three abortion clinics in the state, and the only one that pro-

vides abortions when a woman is up to 20 weeks pregnant. Some patients drove from Mississippi and other neighboring states because of a shortage of clinics. “Our doors are open, and we continue to be here for women in our communities, and we intend to keep it that way,” said Dr. Yashica Robinson, an obstetrician and gynecologist who provides abortions at the clinic. Thank you notes from patients, sent on cards or written on yellow and blue sticky notes, dot a bulletin board in the clinic. “I was so scared on this journey in the Bible Belt, and you put me at ease with no judgment,” one read. Georgia , Kentucky ,
Mississippi and Ohio have passed laws that prohibit abortion when a fetal heartbeat is detected — about six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant. Missouri and Louisiana are close to enacting similar bans. None of the laws has taken effect, and all are expected to be blocked while legal challenges work their way through the courts. Some lawmakers hope two new conservative justices nominated by President Donald Trump will provide the votes for the Supreme Court to overturn its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. That prospect has energized protesters at Missis-
sippi’s only abortion clinic and made them more aggressive, with 100 people gathering on some days singing and waving signs— double the usual number, clinic owner Diane Derzis said. “They know they’re winning, and they don’t care what they need to do,” she said. Messages in pink and blue chalk remained on a sidewalk recently near the hot pink building in Jackson that houses the clinic: “Babies are murdered here” and “Repent. Turn to Christ.” Clinic administrator Shannon Brewer took a call from a pregnant woman wanting to schedule an abortion for next week. Brewer told her about the requirement for two trips to the clinic — the first for state-mandated counseling and the second, at least 24 hours later, for the procedure. She told the woman that no bags, purses or children are allowed. The ban on bags and purses is because of security concerns and the ban on children is because of protesters, Brewer explained after she was off the phone.
DOJ offers to share Mueller documents to avoid House action

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department said Tuesday it is willing to provide the House Intelligence Committee with documents from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, as long as the panel agrees not to take any action against Attorney General William Barr. The unusual request comes after the committee’s
chairman, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California, warned that the committee would take an unspecified “enforcement action” against Barr or the Justice Department after they refused to hand over an unredacted version of Mueller’s report and other documents related to the Russia investigation that shadowed Donald Trump’s presidency for nearly two years. The move is likely to deepen tensions in the al-
Around the World
ready fraught relationship between congressional Democrats and Barr, who they’ve accused of trying to stonewall and block Congress’ oversight power. A separate House panel voted earlier this month to hold Barr in contempt for failing to comply with a similar subpoena. So far, the Justice Department missed a subpoena deadline to hand over an unredacted version of Mueller’s report and declined to hand over what Schiff described as “a dozen narrow sets of documents” that were referred to in the report. In a letter to Schiff on Tuesday , Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd said that the DOJ would be willing to make less-redacted portions of the report available to members of the committee and that officials were reviewing troves of investigative documents that were also requested by the committee. The Justice Department is willing to provide expe-
dited access to the investigative information because of the committee’s interest in counterintelligence matters, but only if the committee “confirms today that it will not pursue any vote on an ‘enforcement action,’” Boyd said. The department needs a “reasonable amount of time” to review the documents, Boyd said. But, if the committee votes to hold the attorney general in contempt, the Justice Department would stop that process, he added. Schiff said earlier this month he issued the subpoena to compel the department’s compliance and warned that the committee could take legal action if the Justice Department continued to “ignore or rejects our requests.” The intelligence committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on the enforcement action, though Schiff has not said whether that would mean a vote to hold Barr in contempt, or some sort of civil action.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Yemen’s Iranian-allied Houthi rebels attacked a Saudi airport and military base with a bomb-laden drone Tuesday, an assault acknowledged by the kingdom as Middle East tensions remained high between Tehran and Washington. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The attack on the Saudi city of Najran came after Iran announced it has quadrupled its uranium-enrichment production capacity, though still at a level far lower than needed for atomic weapons, a year after the U.S. withdrew from Iran’s nuclear deal with world powers. Underlining the tensions, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is seeking expanded executive powers to better deal with “economic war” triggered by the Trump’s administration’s renewal and escalation of sanctions targeting the Islamic Republic, the state-run IRNA news agency reported. “A person or a nation might be under pressure but the Iranian nation will not bow to bullies,” Rouhani vowed in a televised speech Tuesday night. By increasing production, Iran soon will exceed the stockpile limitations set by the nuclear accord. Tehran has set a July 7 deadline for Europe to put forth new terms for the deal, or it will enrich closer to weaponsgrade levels in a Middle East already on edge. The U.S. has deployed bombers and an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf over still-unspecified threats from Iran, which is the biggest rival in the region to the U.S.-allied Saudi Arabia. Before a briefing on the situation to Congress , acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan suggested the U.S. military response to Iranian threats has already had an effect. He said U.S. military moves have given Iran “time to recalculate” and as a result the potential for attacks on Americans is “on hold,” although the threat has not gone away. In the drone attack, the Houthis’ Al-Masirah satellite news channel said they targeted the airport in Najran with a Qasef-2K drone, striking an “arms depot.” Najran, 525 miles southwest of Riyadh, lies on the Saudi-Yemen border and has repeatedly been targeted by the Houthis. A statement on the state-run Saudi Press Agency quoted Saudi-led coalition spokesman Col. Turki alMaliki as saying the Houthis “had tried to target” a civilian site in Najran, without elaborating. Al-Maliki warned there would be a “strong deterre
NY moves to ensure Trump pardons can’t nix state charges ALBANY, N.Y. — A presidential pardon won’t be enough to clear a person of similar state charges under legislation approved by New York state lawmakers. The Democrat-led state Assembly passed the measure Tuesday, sending it to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is expected to sign it into law. The bill adds an exception to the state’s double jeopardy law specifying that someone pardoned for a federal crime may still face prosecution in New York. Supporters say the change is needed to ensure a presidential pardon can’t derail state investigations into Trump and his associates. During Tuesday’s floor debate, Republican lawmakers denounced the bill as an attack on Trump. Democrats said the bill is about more than one sitting president and that it’s needed to protect the state’s independence to prosecute crimes. — The Associated Press

About bears and more bears We have been on alert if we go outdoors all this last week. Our visitor at the Ricks Ranch was a 20r 3-yea- old mediumsized black bear. The first one we have had in about 10 years. Our other alert system is our five cats that perk up their ears and start to growl before they take cover in every hideyhole place in the house. This bear is a bold one! He bit into the locked garbage can several times but did not get it open so he climbed into the back of the pickup, scratching it up and looked for something to eat among the things we were going to haul to the dump from the yard cleanup. That same night he helped himself to the clover on the hill going to the lake then took a nap. He was still there at 11:30 p.m. when I decided to go back to bed. Sunday he was back. We had lots of activity in the yard all day and I went inside to make super. I wanted to talk to Bob in his Cave for a minute, so I headed out the kitchen door and there was our friend the black bear at the closed sunroom door looking at me! I was so startled I just stood there! Then I stomped my feet and screamed at him, “You get out of here!” several times. He jumped off the deck and I opened to door screaming, ”GO GO get out of here!” loudly because I wanted Bob to hear me in the Cave! I waved my arms and tried to get Bob’s attention, which the bear mistook for more of the old crazy lady chasing him. He took off up the hill through the trees and disappeared. I had to tell my bear story to Bob because he did not hear or see me!! We have not seen him since! This does not mean he will not be back though!! So I am on alert and don’t just go wandering around the yard looking at all the beautiful plants waking up See ANNIE, page A7

This Chinese salt and pepper shrimp is a savory-spicy joy

There’s probably no recipe that better showcases salt and pepper working in multiple ways and together than Chinese salt and pepper shrimp, an enticing dish of plump, moist fried shrimp with shells as shatteringly crispy—and appealing to eat—as fried chicken skin, and a killer savory-spicy flavour profile. A quick salt-rice wine soak improved the shrimp’s texture, plumping them, as well as contributing flavour the Sichuan peppercorns gave the dish sparkling spice and aromatic piquancy, while black peppercorns provided a straightforward hit of heat. We added the black peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns along with cayenne and sugar to the coating and then fried more of the same with ginger and
garlic to make a flavourful paste that we tossed the fried shrimp in for great depth. For an extra jolt of spiciness, we also fried a couple of thinly sliced jalapenos. We like to use frozen shrimp thaw them overnight in the fridge or under running cold water and blot them dry. Use a Dutch oven that holds 6 quarts or more for this recipe. Serve with steamed white rice.
CRISPY SALT AND PEPPER SHRIMP Servings: 4-6 Start to finish: 1 hour 1 1/2 pounds shell-on medium-large shrimp (31 to 40 per pound) 2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry Kosher salt 2 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns, coarsely ground 2 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns, coarsely ground
2 teaspoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 4 cups vegetable oil 5 tablespoons cornstarch 2 jalapeno chiles, stemmed, seeded, and sliced into 1/8 inch-thick rings 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 2 scallions, sliced thin on bias Shredded iceberg lettuce Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 225 F. Set wire rack in rimmed baking sheet and line large plate with triple layer of paper towels. Toss shrimp with rice wine and 1 teaspoon salt in large bowl and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Combine black peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, sugar, and cayenne in small bowl. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat until oil registers 385 F. Meanwhile, drain shrimp and pat dry with paper tow-
els wipe bowl dry with paper towels. Transfer shrimp to now-empty bowl, add 3 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 tablespoon peppercorn mixture, and toss until well coated. Carefully add one-third of shrimp to hot oil and fry, stirring occasionally to keep shrimp from sticking together, until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust burner, if necessary, to maintain oil temperature between 375 F and 385 F. Using wire skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to prepared plate and let drain briefly. Transfer shrimp to prepared rack and keep warm in oven. Return oil to 385 F and repeat frying shrimp in 2 more batches, re-tossing each batch thoroughly with coating mixture before frying. Line plate with clean paper towels as needed. Return oil to 385 F. Toss jalapeno rings with remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch in separate bowl. Shake off
excess cornstarch, then carefully add jalapeno rings to oil and fry until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer jalapeno rings to prepared plate. After frying, reserve 2 tablespoons frying oil. Heat reserved oil in 12 inch skillet over mediumhigh heat until shimmering. Add garlic, ginger, and remaining peppercorn mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is fragrant and just beginning to brown, about 45 seconds. Add shrimp, scallions, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss to coat. Line serving platter with shredded lettuce. Arrange shrimp on platter and sprinkle with jalapeno rings.

Tonight make salmon that flakes apart in buttery chunks By America’s Test Kitchen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
As we learned with recipes for beef, lamb, pork, and poultry, cooking en cocotte—cooking a protein in a covered pot with little to no liquid—concentrates flavour. We were skeptical that the technique would successfully translate to fish. Fish cooks quickly would the fish dry out in the dry pot? We gave the technique a shot with fatty salmon fillets, however, and we were more than pleasantly surprised. By passing on searing the salmon fillets, we found that we got just what we wanted: perfectly cooked, moist salmon, basted in its own jus, that flaked apart in large buttery chunks. Leeks sauteed and then layered first in the pot contributed their onion-like sweetness and protected the fish from the heat of
the pan bottom. A quick sauce made with white wine and butter added some more dimension and richness. To ensure uniform pieces of fish that cook at the same rate, we prefer to buy a whole centre-cut fillet and cut it into evenly sized individual fillets ourselves. If buying individual fillets, make sure they are the same size and thickness. If the fillets are thicker or thinner than 1 1/2 inches, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. If you can find only skinon fillets, remove the skin before cooking or the sauce will be greasy.
SALMON EN COCOTTE WITH LEEKS AND WHITE WINE Servings: 4 Start to finish: 50 minutes 1 (1 3/4- to 2 pound)
skinless salmon fillet, about 1 1/2 inches at thickest part Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced thin and washed thoroughly 2 sprigs fresh thyme 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 cup dry white wine 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 2 pieces Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 250 F. Trim any whitish fat from belly of fillet, then cut fish into 4 equal pieces. Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add leeks, thyme, and pinch salt, cover, and cook until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove pot from
heat. Lay salmon, skinned side down, on top of leeks. Place large piece of aluminum foil over pot and cover tightly with lid transfer pot to oven. Cook until salmon is opaque and flakes apart when gently prodded with paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer fish to serving platter and tent with foil. Stir wine into leeks in pot and simmer over medium-high heat until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Off heat, whisk in butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over salmon and serve. Salmon en Cocotte with Celery and Orange Add 2 thinly sliced celery ribs and 1 teaspoon minced orange zest along with garlic in step 2. Substitute 1/2 cup orange juice for wine, and add 1 orange, peeled and segmented, when thickening

. . . Annie
from a long winter’s nap unless I scan the premises. But on the Continued from page A6 other hand, the bear may have discovered he can go fishing for salmon in Cook Inlet about 500 feet from us! Let’s hope so! We have lived here 32 years and have had several black bear encounters. The first one was a momma blackie and her two cubs that tore our greenhouse completely apart. Then I guess they did not find anything in there so they tore our planters with flowers apart. They moved on and we never saw them again. Several years after that, after a shopping trip to Kenai, we wondered why there were little kids’ fingerprints all over our big, big sunroom window and on the sliding glass door to the sunroom. I put the groceries away and got out the Windex and started to clean off those pesky little kids’ finger prints, wondering who in the world has little kids that we knew. I squirted Windex on the door and looked closer, those were not little kid’s prints they were little bear paw prints!! They had pushed the door open and shut several times I guess, not figuring out how to get in!! The hair on my head went up and I started scanning the yard from the safety of our sunroom! We went on bear alert — being careful how we went out the door. A couple days later Bob and I went to visit our friends. Coming home in the late afternoon, as we drove in the yard, we saw a garbage sack that we had earlier, so complacently, placed into a locking garbage can. It was torn apart and contents strewn all over the yard. We parked the car and I headed for the house and Bob began to pick up the sack and contents. I looked back to tell him something and saw FOUR BEARS about 25 feet from him! I scream BBBBEEEAARS!! Three little cubs ran up a tree and Momma bear stood up and made a step forward. Bob swung around to look, turned around and marched in place with his elbows flapping and emitting a “YOOF YOOF” sound out of his terrified face! It scared him so badly he could not run!! I screamed RUN and he unlocked himself and ran for the house, high stepping like he was walking on eggs. The scene is so very funny now but at the time I wondered what was wrong with him. He said he was so terrified he could not move!! We laugh about it now — well, I laugh about it anyway!! The other bear encounter was not in our yard but in the yard next door where my daughter Gail was living. It was the year of the second Swanson River fire and lots of critters were in our area. She heard a noise at the kitchen door of the trailer, a bear-proof steal door. It flew open and Gail had enough presence of mind to run full force and body slam the door shut. Her son Grey was about 7 then and he said it took him several days to get his hair to lie down. Going out the back door of the trailer Gail found that the bear had been trying to get in as it was all scratched and the screen was torn. Scanning the yard, she saw three large cubs run up two trees and the Momma bear watching closely. Gail called Bob and me and called the Fish and Game. The bears were being taught to roam the neighborhood that had playing kids. Sadly it was decided that they had to be put down. That is the end of my bear stories — except my encounter with a big grizzly in the safety of my car. I was coming back from Anchorage in my old Thunderbird. I had my window rolled down and the radio blaring a Merle Haggard tune. Looking up at a spot before the “Y” — one road to Seward and the other to Kenai — where there’s always been a beautiful slope of autumns flowers. I slowed almost to a stop to take a long look and up popped a big, big grizzly in the middle of the flowers! I took off in my car, hurriedly rolling up my window and saying to myself, “That big guy really scared the daylights out of me!” Then I laughed, thinking, “I wonder what that grizzly thought?” “There goes a crazy scared-out-of-her-mind old lady thinking I was going to eat her!” First, he had to catch Me! OH yes, the brown bear in my blueberry patch!! We live about half block from a very nice blueberry patch. I referred to it as MY blueberry patch for a long time. It was about time to go see if they were ripe. I got in my old green Thunderbird, went up the road and turned around and parked on the shoulder of the road, leaving the door open and the car idling. I walked in front of the car and down the berm into the blueberry patch. Looking closely at the ground, something caught my eye and I looked up at a BIG grizzly about 20 feet from me, standing up looking me right in the eye! I stood paralyzed just for a half second, and began backing up very slowly, backing up the side of the berm, feeling the car fender. I backed all the way around the car door, jumped in and slammed the door! Then I realized I had left my door open. WHAT IF A BEAR JUMPED IN THE BACK SEAT??!! I swung my head around to see if there was a bear in the back seat! Then I laughed at my silly thoughts, all the way home to tell Bob! I have not picked one blueberry from that patch since. The big brown bear can have the blueberry patch all to himself!! Always be aware of surroundings in Alaska. Because you can see some amazing beautiful things!

California fish tacos are a light and fresh surfside treat By America’s Test Kitchen THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A surfside treat, California fish tacos feature battered and fried crispy white fish and sprightly pickled vegetables. When done right, they are light and fresh, with a lively mix of textures and flavours. This recipe may look involved, but the components come together quickly, so invite your friends to help. The frying uses a mere 3/4inch layer of oil (no splattering vats). We made an ultrathin batter by adding two sources of carbonation, beer and baking powder they provided lift and their slight acidity limited gluten development. Frying in batches helped maintain the oil’s temperature. For toppings, we quickpickled onion and jalapenos and then used the brine to brighten shredded cabbage. Slice fish on the bias if your fillets are not 4 inches wide. Serve with green salsa if desired.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, May 22, the 142nd day of 2019. There are 223 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 22, 1992, after a reign lasting nearly 30 years, Johnny Carson hosted NBC’s “Tonight Show” for the final time (Jay Leno took over as host three days later). On this date: In 1868, a major train robbery took place near Marshfield, Indiana, as members of the Reno gang made off with $96,000 in loot. In 1939, the foreign ministers of Germany and Italy, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Galeazzo Ciano, signed a “Pact of Steel” committing the two countries to a military alliance. In 1960, an earthquake of magnitude 9.5, the strongest ever measured, struck southern Chile, claiming some 1,655 lives. In 1962, Continental Airlines Flight 11, en route from Chicago to Kansas City, Missouri, crashed after a bomb apparently brought on board by a passenger exploded, killing all 45 occupants of the Boeing 707. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson, speaking at the University of Michigan, outlined the goals of his “Great Society,” saying that it “rests on abundance and liberty for all” and “demands an end to poverty and racial injustice.” In 1968, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Scorpion, with 99 men aboard, sank in the Atlantic Ocean. (The remains of the sub were later found on the ocean floor 400 miles southwest of the Azores.) In 1969, the lunar module of Apollo 10, with Thomas P. Stafford and Eugene Cernan aboard, flew to within nine miles of the moon’s surface in a dress rehearsal for the first lunar landing. In 1981 “Yorkshire Ripper” Peter Sutcliffe was convicted in London of murdering 13 women and was sentenced to life in prison. In 1998, a federal judge ruled that Secret Service agents could be compelled to testify before the grand jury in the Monica Lewinsky investigation. Voters in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland turned out to cast ballots giving resounding approval to a Northern Ireland peace accord. In 2001, Ford Motor Co. said it planned to spend more than $2 billion to replace up to 13 million Firestone tires on its vehicles because of safety concerns. In 2011, a tornado devastated Joplin, Missouri, with winds up to 250 mph, claiming at least 159 lives and destroying about 8,000 homes and businesses. In 2017, a suicide bomber set off an improvised explosive device that killed 22 people at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama promised graduating midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy that, as their commander in chief, he would only send them “into harm’s way when it is absolutely necessary.” Vice President Joe Biden arrived in Lebanon to reinforce U.S. support for the government ahead of key parliamentary elections. Five years ago: The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to end the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of American phone records (however, the USA Freedom Act was later blocked in the Senate.) Thailand’s military seized power in a bloodless coup. One year ago: Stacey Abrams won Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, making her the first woman nominee for Georgia governor from either major party.

Raptors win to even series with Bucks By IAN HARRISON Associated Press
TORONTO — With a weary Kawhi Leonard fighting through fatigue, the Toronto Raptors found enough energy to pull away from the Milwaukee Bucks. Kyle Lowry led the way. Lowry scored 25 points, Leonard had 19 and the Raptors beat the Milwaukee Bucks 120-102 on Tuesday
night to even the Eastern Conference finals at two games apiece. “This was one of the nights that we knew Kawhi was a little bit limited and we had to come out and be aggressive for him,” Lowry said. Leonard played 52 minutes in a double-overtime win in Game 3 on Sunday despite dealing with leg soreness. He limped away
from the basket following a third-quarter dunk in Game 4, but still toughed it out for 34 minutes. “I feel good,” Leonard insisted. “I’m going to keep going and keep fighting. We have a chance to make history.” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said he’s not worried about Leonard’s health. “He’s certainly tired, like a lot of guys in this series
are,” Nurse said. “He looks OK to me. There was one time I was trying to give him an extended rest and he didn’t really want it so he must be OK.” Serge Ibaka had 17 points and 13 rebounds for the Raptors, who improved to 7-2 at home this postseason. Reserve Norm Powell scored 18 points, and Marc Gasol had 17 points and a team-
high seven assists. “The first two games, they really brought the intensity to us,” Powell said. “They really came out and were more physical, more active. We wanted to change that narrative coming home.” The home team has won all four games in the series so far. Game 5 is Thursday night in Milwaukee. “We need to take this
challenge of playing in a hostile environment,” Nurse said. “We’re going into a tough, loud place to play. Let’s see if those guys can bring that same pop and focus and determination on the road.” Giannis Antetokounmpo had 25 points and 10 rebounds for the top-seeded Bucks. Khris Middleton scored 30 points, but no one else had more than 11.
Blues beat Sharks, on to Stanley Cup final St. Louis now eyes 1st Cup title in franchise history By STEVE OVERBEY Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues are marching into the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in decades. Pretty sweet moment for Vladimir Tarasenko and Co. David Perron had a goal and an assist, Jordan Binnington picked up his franchise-record 12th playoff win and the Blues eliminated the San Jose Sharks with a 5-1 win in Game 6 of the Western Conference final Tuesday night. Tarasenko, Brayden Schenn and Tyler Bozak also scored for St. Louis, which will face the Boston Bruins for the championship. Ivan Barbashev got an emptynetter with 2:15 left, Ryan O’Reilly had three assists and Binnington stopped 25 shots. “We always believed we could do this,” said Tarasenko, who had a point in every game of the series. “But it’s still an unbelievable feeling.” St. Louis won three consecutive games to advance to the franchise’s first Cup Final since 1970. That series also pitted the Blues against the Bruins. Game 1 is Monday night in Boston. Laura Branigan’s “Gloria” blared over the speakers at the Blues’ home arena after the latest victory on an improbable run from last in the NHL Jan. 3 to one of the last two teams standing. The turnaround came after Craig Berube replaced Mike Yeo as coach in November and Binnington took over as the starting goaltender in January. “We always had the talent,” said Doug Armstrong, the general manager and president of hockey operations for the Blues. “But we were finding ways to lose

games instead of winning them. They turned it around and just haven’t stopping going.” Berube gave his team credit for working its way through a coaching change and several months of disappointing play. “We were trying to get on the right track,” Berube said. “Once we got going in January and February, I knew we had a good hockey team. Once you get into
the playoffs anything can happen — and it did.” Blues defenseman Colton Parayko said it was a matter of confidence. “We all bought in and eventually we figured out just how good we can be,” he said. “It’s a tight-knit group. But that adversity, it made us work harder for each other.” San Jose played without in-
jured forwards Joe Pavelski and Tomas Hertl and defenseman Erik Karlsson. Injury attrition played a role for the Sharks, who played seven games in each of the first two rounds. Dylan Gambrell scored his first career goal for San Jose, which lost for the first time in five elimination games this postseason. Martin Jones made 14 stops.
St. Louis grabbed control with a fast start. Perron tipped in Sammy Blais’ shot just 92 seconds into the game. Tarasenko made it 2-0 with a well-placed wrist shot at 16:16. Tarasenko got his eighth goal of the postseason just seven seconds after San Jose forward Barclay Goodrow was sent off for tripping.
Kershaw gets 8 Ks, Dodgers beat Rays ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Clayton Kershaw took a shutout into the seventh inning in his first start at Tropicana Field and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 on Tuesday night. The three-time NL Cy Young Award winner (40) wound up allowing two runs, six hits, one walk and had eight strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. The Dodgers, with the National League’s best record at 32-17, have won six of seven. Tampa Bay dropped two games behind the AL East-leading New York Yankees. Justin Turner, Austin Barnes, Kiki Hernandez, Corey Seager and pinchhitter Joc Pederson had run-scoring singles for the Dodgers. Kershaw had scattered four hits through six but was replaced by Pedro Baez with two on and one out in the seventh and Los Angeles up 6-0. The Rays then got within 6-3 on a run-scoring single by Austin Meadows and Tommy Pham’s RBI double off Scott Alexander. Los Angeles has won 15 consecutive regular season games starter by Kershaw.
out a season-high 12 to lead Houston over Chicago. Verlander (8-1) allowed one hit and walked one in eight innings for his fourth straight win and the seventh in eight starts. The only hit off him came when Jose Abreu sent the first pitch of his at-bat just over the wall and out of reach of a leaping Jake Marisnick in straightaway center field with one out in the seventh to cut the lead to 5-1. Yuli Gurriel hit a solo homer off Dylan Covey (0-3) in the fourth inning to give the Astros home runs in 18 straight games, tying the second-longest streak in franchise history. Houston, a big league-best 33-16, won for the 12th time in 13 games overall and ninth in a row over the White Sox. Covey allowed four hits, walked four and allowed four runs in four-plus innings.
YANKEES 11, ORIOLES 4
BALTIMORE (AP) — Clint Frazier homered twice and had a career-high five RBIs, Gary Sánchez contributed a threerun drive and New York routed Baltimore. New York made it easy for Domingo Germán (9-1) to win his sixth consecutive start and increase his major leagueleading victory total. The righthander pitched only five innings and left with a 9-3 lead. David Hale worked the four innings to earn his first save since 2010 at Class A. ASTROS 5, DJ LeMahieu had three hits WHITE SOX 1 and Sánchez finished with four HOUSTON (AP) — Justin RBIs for the AL East leaders, Verlander took a no-hitter into who have won seven of eight.

BLUE JAYS 10, RED SOX 3 TORONTO (AP) — Rowdy Tellez had two homers and five RBIs and Randal Grichuk also homered in Toronto’s win over Boston. Toronto won for just the fifth time against Boston at Rogers Centre since the start of the 2017 season. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. returned to the Toronto lineup, going 2 for 5 with a pair of runs.

Marcus Stroman (2-6) lasted six innings, giving up one run, five hits and a season-high six walks.
MARLINS 5, TIGERS 4, 11 INNINGS DETROIT (AP) — Chad Wallach hit a tiebreaking double in the 11th inning, and Miami beat Detroit. Detroit forced extra innings by scoring two unearned runs off Miami closer Sergio Romo. The bottom of the ninth included an error, two replay reversals and the ejection of Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire. That was the only success Detroit had against the Miami bullpen, though. Nick Anderson (1-1) struck out the side in the 10th, then closed the Tigers out in the 11th for his first career win.

this season for Jackson (2-1). Atlanta had won four straight against San Francisco and allowed one run in all four. Trevor Gott (2-0) retired three batters to win.
METS 6, NATIONALS 5 NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Alonso hit a long tying homer in the eighth inning, Amed Rosario had a winning infield single with two outs in the ninth and New York rallied from deficits three times to beat Washington.

John Soto and Brian Dozier homered for Washington.
ROCKIES 5, PIRATES 0 PITTSBURGH (AP) — German Márquez struck out seven over eight dominant innings and Trevor Story hit his 11th home run as Colorado cooled off surging Pittsburgh. Márquez (5-2) gave up three hits, walked one and didn’t allow a runner to third base as the Rockies snapped a four-game losing streak. Charlie Blackmon went 3 for 5 for Colorado, including a two-run triple to left off Chris Archer (1-4) in the fourth. Story homered for the second straight game. His shot to deep left field in the third inning glanced off the glove of Pittsburgh leftfielder Bryan Reynolds.
ATHLETICS 5, INDIANS 3 CLEVELAND (AP) — Pinch-hitter Mark Canha’s two-run homer off struggling Cleveland starter Trevor Bauer in the third inning sent Oakland to its fifth straight win.

Oakland reliever Liam Hendricks (20) pitched two scoreless innings and Blake Treinen, the A’s fourth reliever, worked the ninth for his ninth save in 11 tries.
REDS 3, BREWERS 0 MILWAUKEE (AP) — Sonny Gray and three Cincinnati relievers held down Milwaukee, which was missing Christian Yelich because of back spasms. It was the major league-leading seventh shutout for the Reds as the Brewers were blanked for the first time this season. Cincinnati scored all three runs in the first inning. Nick Senzel scored on a wild pitch, Phillip Ervin pushed a run across with a double and scored on a fielder’s choice.
RANGERS 5, MARINERS 3 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Lance Lynn allowed two runs over seven innings and Shawn Kelley earned the save hours after learning that two lumps removed from his throat last week were benign as Texas beat Seattle. Lynn (6-3) gave up five singles and one walk and had a season-high 11 strikeouts and one walk in his 200th career start. Kelley, who was activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, allowed a ninth-inning homer to Omar Narváez, who had three hits, in earning his third save of the season. The loss continued a tailspin for Seattle, which is 10-26 since a 13-2 start. Nomar Mazara had three hits, an RBI and scored one of two runs on a sacrifice fly after initially being ruled out at the plate before a successful Texas challenge. Joey Gallo hit a two-run home run, his 15th of the season, in the eighth inning.
PADRES 3, DIAMONDBACKS 2 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Eric Hosmer’s tworun, opposite-field home run off Zack Greinke highlighted the three-run sixth inning that carried San Diego past Arizona.

Ian Kinsler singled with one out, advanced on Franmil Reyes’ groundout and scored on Manny Machado’s single. Hosmer then drove Greinke’s next pitch to left field to give the Padres the lead. It was Hosmer’s seventh.
CUBS 3, PHILLIES 2 CHICAGO (AP) — Pinch-hitter Javier Báez’s single capped a two-run, ninth-inning rally and Chicago stopped Philadelphia’s four-game winning streak. Kris Bryant had three hits for the Cubs and scored two runs. Phillies slugger Bryce Harper went 0 for 4, dropping his average to .224, and failed to reach base at Wrigley Field for the first time in 19 games. Jean Segura doubled in the first to extend his hitting streak to 12 games. Chicago trailed 2-1 starting the ninth, but Juan Nicasio (0-2) walked Bryant leading off, Anthony Rizzo doubled and, after Willson Contreras hit a shallow flyout, Jason Heyward was intentionally walked.
TWINS 8, ANGELS 3 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Marwin Gonzalez homered and drove in three runs as Minnesota rallied past Los Angeles. Gonzalez’s two-run shot in the sixth tied the game at three. Minnesota then broke it open with four in the seventh off Luke Bard (1-2). AL batting leader Jorge Polanco and Eddie Rosario each had two hits and drove in two runs for the Twins, who have won five of six on their road trip.

Beilein ready to breathe new life into Cavs By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — High on a wall and across the courts from where John Beilein was sitting, the Cavaliers’ basketball history stared the new coach in the face. He wants to make it richer. “Look at all those banners up there,” Beilein said, pointing toward reminders of the 2016 NBA championship, Eastern Conference titles and division crowns won by the Cavs — most of them in the past decade. “It’s been done before. Why can’t it be done again?” This basketball renaissance man is ready for his next recovery project. Saying he won’t use the word “rebuild,” Beilein was in-
troduced Tuesday by the Cavs, whose surprising choice of the 66-year-old was met with skepticism only by those who haven’t crossed paths with him over his more than four decades as a coach. Cleveland’s expansive search ended last week with someone who has won at every level in college — most recently during a 12-year run at Michigan — and will now see if his teamfirst, family-oriented style can work in the pros. “He’s all the things you would want in a head coach,” Cavs owner Dan Gilbert said. Even before being escorted onto the podium by general manager Koby Altman, Beilein showed his eagerness to turn around a team whose run of four straight finals ended this season
Mariners put Gordon, Healy on 10-day list ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Seattle Mariners placed second baseman Dee Gordon and third baseman Ryon Healy on the 10-day injured list and signed right-hander Anthony Bass to a one-year contract with a $950,000 salary while in the major leagues. Gordon has a bruised right wrist and Healy lower back inflammation. Seattle, 10-26 following a 13-2 start, made eight roster moves before Tuesday night’s 5-3 loss to Texas. The Mariners selected the contract of left-hander Tommy Milone from Triple-A Tacoma, and he started against the Rangers. Second baseman Shed Long was recalled from Tacoma and was in the starting lineup. Third baseman Dylan Moore was activated from the 10-day injured list after recovering from a bruised right wrist. Righthanded reliever Parker Markel was optioned to Tacoma, and right-handed reliever Ryan Garton was designated for assignment. “We had to get some players in here,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. Gordon is hitting .281 with 12 steals, while Healy is batting .237 with 16 doubles. Healy left Monday night’s game against Texas in the sixth inning.
following the departure of LeBron James. The Cavs went 19-63 and parted with two coaches. About an hour before the news conference, Beilein peeled off his suit coat, went onto the floor and rebounded for Cavs forward Larry Nance Jr., one of the team’s core players. Moments later, he chatted with point guard Collin Sexton, who had just gotten off a plane from the Philippines and was soon practicing a jump shot that improved dramatically during his rookie season. Beilein’s first public moments as Cleveland’s coach couldn’t have gone better. He was joined by his wife, Kathleen, who has been with him every step of the way of a coaching career that began at Newfane Central High School
in New York. All four of their children were in attendance along with four grandchildren, including grandson Johnny, who recently revealed to his grandpa that the Golden State Warriors are his favorite team. “Here’s the good news,” Beilein said. “Before we were hired here, Cavs were No. 20 on the list. Now he says we’re all the way up to No. 2. So that’s good.” Beilein said coaching in the NBA was never on his bucket list. While he accomplished everything in college coaching, the exception being a Division I NCAA championship, Beilein says he would have had no regrets had he finished his career at Michigan. But the chance to bring back the Cavs was too much to pass up.

Man who flirts online brushes aside his girlfriend’s concerns to these women, he is also lying to you. Men who love and respect women do not treat them the way he is treating you. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 13-year-old girl, and I’m bisexual. Some of my closest friends know, but that’s it. Mom doesn’t know, and neither do my gramma or Abigail Van Buren papa. I’m afraid if I tell them they’ll be disappointed in their little girl. Also, I’m growing up without a father, so that may have something to do with it. I wonder if not having a male role model is why I’m driven to like girls. It took me a while to figure out that I was bisexual. It was at the beginning of seventh grade, when people were talking about being bi. So I guess I need to find out who I am as a person. When I told my friend I was bi and I liked her, she was shocked and surprised. I think she took it the wrong way and thought I was asking her out. That afternoon she came up to me and said, “I like you, but only as a friend. I hope this doesn’t damage our friendship.” For me it did, and I haven’t gotten the courage to go talk to her about it again. I was only saying that to tell her how I FEEL, not
-- INSECURE AND CONFUSED DEAR INSECURE AND CONFUSED: You are right that you need to find out who you are as a person. You are very young and still discovering. People do NOT become gay or bisexual because of conversations they hear in the seventh grade or because their fathers are absent. Sexual orientation is simply a part of who we are. You were clumsy about the way you “outed” yourself to your friend. Put aside your fears, talk to her again and explain that you weren’t asking her out, and the feelings you were describing were not directed at her. If she’s truly a friend, everything will be all right. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

with an unexpected development. A partner is inspirational. You might be overly serious when trying to get a project going. You might try making some major changes if possible. Tonight: Swap ideas with a close associate. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Defer to someone who cares about the outcome of a problem in much the same way you do. You might not always agree with this person, but you often agree on the process or on how a problem is handled. A family member could be difficult, to say the least. Tonight: Get past a problem. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Talking might take some of the pressure off a situation. The problem might surround someone who does not want to share. You see a personal matter far differently than others. You try to open up a discussion unsuccessfully. Tonight: Stay open. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You have a unique style that others often do not get. In fact, many people look at you as a risk taker with no boundaries. You might be held back from advancing or agreeing to a project. You see a financial problem heading your way. Tonight: Let someone else treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your way of approaching a personal issue on your mind might not get through to others. You might feel like shutting down, but that might not work at all. Evaluate the possibility of a sudden change in pace or attitude. Tonight: Whatever you want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH What is happening behind the scenes could stun you. The less said, the more comfortable others will be with you. What you hear could shock you at times. Use caution around finances. Tonight: Go for R and R. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A meeting could energize you. Stop and decide how realistic you are about this matter. Your imagination can find solutions should you hit a problem. Trust yourself to come up with the right idea for the majority of people. Tonight: Adapt to a last-minute change.

Ants can’t get at this food Dear Heloise: How do I keep ANTS out of my cat’s dish of food in the kitchen? -- Bernice N. in Honolulu Bernice, place the cat food dish in a clay tray that you put under a plant pot to catch water, and make sure the tray is larger than the cat dish. Then put a little water in the clay tray. The ants won’t be able to get to the cat’s food. -- Heloise THE MIGHTY TOMATO Dear Heloise: I’ve been reading about various foods to avoid, and the tomato has come up a few times. I thought tomatoes were supposed to be good for you. -- Bridget H., Scottsdale, Ariz. Bridget, if you have acid reflux or some other condition that your doctor tells you is aggravated by tomatoes, then it’s probably best to avoid them. However, tomatoes are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin K. They are a major source of the antioxidant lycopene, which is believed to reduce the likelihood of cancer and heart disease. Most tomatoes are about 95% water, with the remaining 5% being fiber and carbohydrates. -- Heloise FROZEN DOGS Dear Heloise: I used to freeze hot dogs in the entire package, but they were difficult to separate when I needed only one or two. Now, I remove them from the package, lay them one by one on a cookie sheet and freeze them. While still frozen, I place them a freezer bag, and when I am ready, they come right out, and they don’t stick together. -- Betty Lou R., Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, May 22, 2019: This year, your upbeat personality melts the barriers of others. If single, you could have quite a few choices to make. You also need to decide if you want a committed long-term tie. If you’re attached, the two of you like hanging out together. Your sweetie helps inspire you but also encourages you to grow past your present thinking. Avoid ruts and standoff situations that CAPRICORN points out. 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 Take charge of a problem. You will be able to handle the matter once you cool off some. You will need to take a strong stand and be willing to walk past a problem. You might feel as if a change is needed. Tonight: Whatever you are doing, you are noticed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You have the ability to see a problem beyond its obvious beginning. You can identify the irritants and also find successful solutions. Someone might call upon your abilities. Be aware of your finances and not overspending. Tonight: Return calls first. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your ability to get past a problem allows you more flexibility than you realize. A partner could get stuck on one solution and not open up to different thoughts. Be aware of your limits when dealing with a person who often acts like a stick in the mud. Tonight: Say yes to an offer. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might want to defer to a friend or loved one, as you have a lot going on. You feel as if you cannot make a change fast enough. You feel relief when another person tosses his or her hat in the ring and pitches in. Adapt to this positive effort. Tonight: Flow with the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Pace yourself and get as much done as possible. You could experience a jolt out of the blue, which could take some extra time to work through. A partner has an idea that you might not be able to realize. Make a change if possible. Tonight: Take a night off for yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Creative ideas come forth

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been a couple for three years. We live together and have an incredible relationship and an amazing sex life. A while ago, he was approached by a strange woman on social media. Through Hangouts he told her she was beautiful and that he was looking for the right woman to be with. Their communication lasted about a week. It has now happened again. He handed out his phone number, and this one has sent him videos of her dancing wearing next to nothing. He tells her she has an amazing body and made comments to the effect that she must be wild in bed and he thinks only of her. When he talks to these other women, he tells them he lives alone. When I tell him this bothers me, he doesn’t get upset. He swears he has feelings for only me and no one else, and that he’s just having a little fun. I want to believe him, but I feel hurt and disrespected when I read what he’s saying to these women. My heart is heavy because he used to talk to me like that and no longer does. Should I be worried? -- SHARING HIM IN OHIO DEAR SHARING HIM: You should not only be worried, you should be out of there. You may have invested three years in this person, but the sooner you divest yourself of him the better it will be for you. His actions show that his word cannot be trusted. He’s not only lying

Lost hiker and his dog lived off the land FAIRBANKS (AP) — A hiker and his dog ate berries and moss while they were lost for days in Alaska, he said. Logan Holmer, 26, of Missouri, and his dog started hiking the Far Mountain Trail May 7 and became separated from their group the next day, The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Monday. Holmer brought two
days’ worth of food and ate the last of it on the fourth day, supplementing his diet with the plants he found, he said in a social media post quoted by the newspaper. “I was laying in a huge bed of these plants and I pulled up a huge salad and broke them up with my hands and choked them down with the water I had stocked up for the evening,” Holmer said. “Almost in-
stantly I was feeling warmer and was able to get some sleep.” More than 40 rescuers from Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Wildlife Troopers, Wilderness Search and Rescue, Civil Air Patrol, Alaska State Park Rangers, and PAWS search dog teams participated in the search that located Holmer and his retired sled dog on May 11. Holmer carried a com-
pass, but no map or GPS device. After Holmer was separated from his group, the other three members also went off course despite using GPS. Holmer wandered more than 30 miles in ridgeline distance from the Chena Hot Springs Resort 61 miles east of Fairbanks, officials said. Far Mountain has an elevation of 4,694 feet, the newspaper reported.
State seeks outside consultant for Medicaid overhaul plans ANCHORAGE (AP)— Alaska is seeking an outside consultant to review the potential benefits of its plans to overhaul Medicaid, officials said. The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services issued a request for proposals last week, offering up to $100,000 for a “proof of concept” analysis completed by the end of June, The Anchorage Daily News reported Monday. The agency wants in-

life and thanked her teachers, family and friends for preparing her for the future, no matter what it holds. “I wish I could thank all of you, because everyone had an impact on my life,” Carstens said. “But that would take hours, and I know we just want to graduate already.” Valedictorian Garrett Ellis centered his speech around never forgetting the past as well as the importance of being kind. Ellis used his uncles as an example of the selfless kindness that he hopes to carry with him into the future and talked about how, when he was younger, they would stay up late and watch movies with him when he needed a friend. “As I look back on those nights, I only now see how boring that must have been for them,” Ellis said. “But it’s that type of kindness that changes lives and changes the world. The type of kindness where we sacrifice what we want for what others need.” Ellis also reminded his classmates to remember their roots as they journey out into the world. “Wherever you go in the world and whatever you do, don’t forget the small town of Nikiski where you grew up,” Ellis said. After the ceremony
put regarding its “potential model” for altering Medicaid, Deputy Commissioner Donna Steward said. “It’s a request for a consultant with experience working on Medicaid transformation in other states to review the proposal as outlined and provide consultation and expertise on whether it’s something that could be helpful for Alaska,” she said. Alaska wants to control health care costs and in-
surance premiums that are among the highest in the nation, the request said. More than 200,000 Alaskans receive Medicaid coverage. A detailed analysis over six months or a year will occur if the agency decides to prepare a federal waiver application to make changes, Steward said. The state may shift relatively healthy Medicaid recipients to subsidized private insurance plans and set work requirements for
some. Another consideration is an application for a federal block grant for Medicaid, something no other state has previously used. A block grant would cap federal Medicaid funds and Alaska could be forced to pay more or cut services, provider rates or access if expenses exceed the cap, said Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association President Becky Hultberg.

Hannah Young will be sticking around the state for a few more years attending the University of Alaska Fairbanks, but she plans to eventually transfer to Northwest University in Kirkland, Washington, to get a degree in intercultural studies — and has every intention to keep playing the trumpet through college.

Jace Kornstad, on the other hand, is headed straight down to St. Paul, Minnesota, to play basketball at the University of Northwestern and obtain a degree in criminal justice. “I don’t know what I’ll do after that, but I’m just gonna see where life takes me,” Kornstad said. Student Body President Alie Minium summed up the sentiment of the evening during her opening speech with a line she borrowed from her brother’s speech, given years ago in the same gymnasium: “Nikiski has raised us well.”

In brief Anchorage police say man stole crashed car, bashed 6 others ANCHORAGE — A 20-year-old man suspected of stealing a crashed car and bashing at least six other vehicles has been charged with felony vehicle theft, theft, assault and eluding. Tyler Phillips was arrested Friday and remains jailed in Anchorage. He is represented by the public defender’s office, which did not immediately respond Tuesday to an email request for comment. Anchorage police say a driver Friday morning got into a crash and got out of his car to exchange information. Police say Phillips got into the sedan, backed into several other vehicles, drove over a median and left. Police say he then rear-ended two cars and sideswiped a third at three intersections. Police found the stolen sedan in south Anchorage. A nearby homeowner reported a man on his porch and police arrested Phillips.
Dividend division plans change in public office hours JUNEAU — The division that processes applications for checks from Alaska’s oil-wealth fund plans to close to the public on Wednesdays, starting next month. Anne Weske, director of the Permanent Fund Dividend Division, says the intent is to give staff more time to focus on determining applicant eligibility. She says the division gets many calls or questions that aren’t fruitful, including people asking about their application status or what size the check will be. She says the hope is that by closing offices to public contact on Wednesdays, employees can make more headway. She says Wednesdays have the lowest levels of calls or visits from the public. Weske expects the change to be permanent but says offices will be open five days a week during the January through March filing season.
6 Russian planes intercepted by US off Alaska coast ANCHORAGE — U.S. military officials say four Russian bombers and two fighter jets were intercepted off Alaska’s western coast by U.S. aircraft but had not entered U.S. or Canadian air space. The North American Aerospace Defense Command said in a statement that its early warning system identified the four Tupolev Tu-95 bombers and two Su-35 fighters. Two pairs of F-22s fighter jets met the Russian aircraft on Monday but further details of the encounter were not provided. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation said on Twitter that the U.S. planes accompanied the Russian aircraft along part of their route. The agency said the Russian planes made scheduled sorties over the neutral waters of the Chukotka, Bering and Okhotsk seas, as well as along the western coast of Alaska and the northern coast of the Aleutian Islands. — Associated Press

tional Transportation Safety Board in Alaska. Johnson said witnesses also reported the Beaver floatplane landed upside down and became submerged in water. An NTSB investigator arrived at Metlakatla late Tuesday morning, he said. In a statement, Taquan Air confirmed it suspended all operations. The company said it “was reeling” from not only Monday’s crash, but a midair collision last week involving another Taquan plane that killed six. “It’s been a really heavy and heartbreaking time for us,” the company wrote. “Our priority has been our passengers and their families and our internal staff, and pilots.” The passenger was identified by her employer and relatives in California as Sarah Luna. The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium said in a statement that Luna joined the group nearly a year ago as a senior epidemiologist in the liver disease and hepatitis program. Luna, 32, had flown to Metlakatla to provide health services to the community. “Sarah embodied the characteristics most valuable to our team, as a person committed to improving the health and well-being of Alaska Native people,” the organization wrote. “For those who worked most closely with Sarah, this loss is immeasurable.” Metlakatla Police Chief Bruce Janes identified the pilot as 51-year-old Ron Rash of Harrisburg, Penn-
sylvania. The crash occurred in light winds and 10-mile visibility, Johnson said. The plane also was carrying a load of cargo and was supposed to also pick up other passengers after landing. Johnson said it was “way too early” to determine a cause. He anticipates the preliminary report into the crash to be released by the end of the week. Monday’s crash followed the May 13 midair collision of a Taquan Air Otter floatplane with another floatplane. Six people died in that crash and another 10 people were injured. Both planes were carrying sightseeing cruise ship passengers. Johnson said the NTSB is investigating both crashes as separate cases. Last summer, all 11 on board another Taquan Air flight survived when the 72-year-old pilot confused snow on a mountain with a body of water and crashed on a rocky mountainside on Prince of Wales Island near the southern tip of the Alaska Peninsula. A pilot and eight cruise ship passengers died June 25, 2015, when a de Havilland DHC-3 Otter operated by Promech Air Inc. crashed into mountainous terrain about 24 miles from Ketchikan, also as it was returning from Misty Fjords. The NTSB later determined that pilot error, the company’s culture and lack of a formal safety program were among the causes of that crash. Taquan Air purchased the assets of Promech in 2016, and currently employs three pilots who worked for Promech, a company spokeswoman said last week.
