ANCHORAGE — Four Homer men convicted of illegal commercial fishing last year have been fined. Alaska State Troopers say the men in July fished illegally in closed waters of Dog Fish Bay or drove salmon from closed waters to open waters. District Court Judge Margaret Murphy on Wednesday found 66-year-old Mark Roth and 63-year-old Eric Winslow guilty of driving salmon from closed waters and failing to provide information to a fish transporter. She fined Roth $11,000 with $7,500 suspended and Winslow $11,200 with $7,500 suspended. Thirty-six-year-old Paul Roth and 40-yearold Robert Roth were convicted of commercial fishing in closed waters and other misdemeanors. Paul Roth was fined $4,000 with $2,000 suspended and Robert Roth was fined $4,000 with $2,500 suspended. The fishermen forfeited 10,000 pounds of salmon to the state.
State forgives legal debt for man attacked as a child ANCHORAGE — Alaska’s attorney general says a man injured in a knife attack as a child is no longer liable for legal fees associated with the case. Stephen Hansell was 8 years old when the 2001 attack occurred. The Anchorage Daily News reports his parents sued the following year but eventually lost and were ordered to pay more than $24,000 in attorneys’ fees. Hansell, as a plaintiff, shared liability in the debt. Recent news articles highlighting his case caught the attention of Gov. Mike Dunleavy and Attorney General Kevin Clarkson. — Associated Press

Feds to investigate spike in gray whale deaths
What to do at the refuge this summer By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
As Alaska basks in the summer weather, the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is set to have a busy couple of months. The first day of June — which is National Trails Day — kicked off the summer events at the Refuge with two guided hikes, one along Centennial Trail at the Refuge’s Visitor Center and one going out to Marsh Lake at the Skilak Wildlife Recreation Area. David Fink is an environmental education intern at the Refuge and led the guided hike from the visitor’s center along Centennial Trail. Fink had never led a hike before Saturday, but his experience leading field trips and going into classrooms to teach students Environmental education intern David Fink answers questions from the hikers during about the Refuge came a guided hike on Centennial Trail in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday.

volved from the beginning and currently serves as vice president. She said Salvage Art is one of the events that the group looks forward to each year to get the community actively involved in recycling. The creations that designers come up with? That’s a bonus in itself. “People come up with the most incredible kinds of things,” Wallace said. “You never know what’s going to show up, but it’s intriguingly incredible.” Wallace recounted several past entries, including standing robots made of metal crates, a Van Gogh painting reconstructed from colored rope, a flower bouquet composed of pieces from old kitchen appliances, and a dress made of plastic bags. Wallace said anything goes, as long as its not dangerous or toxic.
SEATTLE — U.S. scientists said Friday they will investigate why an unusual number of gray whales are washing up dead on West Coast beaches. About 70 whales have been found dead so far this year on the coasts of California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska, the most since 2000. About five more have been discovered on British Columbia beaches. That’s a very small fraction of the total number of whales believed to have died, because most simply sink and others wash up in such remote areas they’re not recorded. NOAA Fisheries on Friday declared the die-off an “unusual mortality event,” providing additional resources to respond to the deaths and triggering the investigation. “Many of the whales have been skinny and malnourished, and that suggests they may not have gotten enough to eat during their last feeding season in the Arctic,” agency spokesman Michael Milstein told reporters during a conference call. The eastern North Pacific gray whales were removed from the endangered species list in 1994, after recovering from the whaling era. The population has grown significantly in the last decade and is now estimated at 27,000 — the highest since surveys began in 1967. That has raised questions about whether their population has reached the limit of what the environment can sustain. Another theory suggests that the loss of Arctic sea ice due to global warming is a culprit. The whales spend their summers feeding in the Arctic before migrating 10,000 miles to winter off

Giving trash a second life Salvage Art Exhibit to return to Kenai River Festival By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
Someone’s trash is another’s art. That’s the idea behind the Salvage Art Exhibit that will be on display at the Kenai River Festival from June 7 to 9 at Soldotna Creek Park. The show is in its fifth year and event organizer Jan Wallace said she expects another turnout of real “garbage.” “It’s amazing to see the potential in things you throw away and make something creative and share it with the community,” Wallace said. In an effort co-sponsored by ReGroup Recycling and the Kenai Fine Art Center, the Salvage Art Exhibit challenges young and old artists alike to engage their creative side while using only recycled materials. Wallace said entries must be composed of no less than

ANCHORAGE (AP) — Alaska oil producers will invest $20 million to advance the state’s $43 billion Alaska gas line project, officials said. The investment by BP and ExxonMobil is intended to help the Alaska LNG project achieve a permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, The Anchorage Daily News reported Thursday. Republican Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer announced the investment Thursday at an oil and gas conference

The state plans to pay the remaining $10 million of expected costs before the energy commission’s decision, which is expected next year. If approved, the natural gas would not flow before 2025.

in handy considering kids made up about half of Saturday’s group. Fink stopped occasionally during the hike to teach the kids — and some of theadults — about plants and animals encountered along the trail. Before starting, Fink asked the kids what kind of plants and animals they might expect to see along the way. “Snowshoe rabbits!” Shouted Zachariah Fray, one of the kids on the hike. “Bears!” added another, Sasha Brott. While there were no snowshoe hares or bears seen on Saturday, Fink said that one should be prepared to see any of the above on a hike through the Refuge, and Fink had a can of bear mace with him as a precaution. As the hike began, Fink pointed out the horsetail on either side of the trail and showed the kids how to tell the male plant from the female. The differences were easy to spot, with the female plant looking like a typical fern and the male plant looking like a stalk of asparagus. Shortly after that, Fink stopped to warn that moose can be particularly aggressive this time of year because calves are being born and the cows become extra protective. He demonstrated the signs that a moose is about to charge by putting his head down slightly and lowering his ears. Cheyenne Juliussen, the Refuge’s cultural intern, added that the fur on the back of moose’s neck also stands up, but Fink was unable to mimic that move.
Fink taught how to identify many different plants along the hike, including devil’s club, pushki, fireweed, birches and spruce. Fink even spotted a morel mushroom along the way, a somewhat rare delicacy that many often go foraging through the Refuge to find. Naturally it was finders keepers this time, and Fink pocketed the tasty treat before continuing to lead the group through the forest. Later Fink broke off another mushroom — this time a tinder conk — from a nearby tree and passed it around for everyone to see and feel. As he did so, he taught the kids a trick to remembering its scientific name — fomes fomentarius — by thinking of it as a spell from “Harry Potter.” Before long the kids were waving their fingers like wands and shouting “Fomes fomentarius!” at each other in an attempt to turn their friends and siblings into mushrooms. To end the hike, Fink put the guests’ newfound knowledge to the test in a game he called “tree doctor.” The hikers split into pairs, with one person closing their eyes while the other person guided them to a nearby tree. After taking time to feel the bark, leaves and branches of the trees, the hikers were led back to the trail, opened their eyes, and were told to go back and identify the tree to which they had been brought. Either Fink was an excellent teacher or the kids were fast learners, because everyone passed the test. The Refuge will be offering guided hikes similar to the one led by Fink three days a week starting at the end of June, with the next one on June 21 at Hidden Creek. On

Thursdays and Fridays, the hikes will be longer and cater towards teenagers and adults, while Saturdays will be the gentler hikes that can be taken on by hikers young and old. Gail Easley, a volunteer for the Department of Fish and Wildlife at the Refuge, described the Saturday hikes as familyfriendly. “We don’t go quite as far or quite as fast,” Easley said. On Thursday, June 20, the Refuge will host two sessions of their Preschool Environmental Education Programs (PEEPS) at 9 a.m. and
10:30 a.m. Easley said PEEPS will be hosted once a month and will include hands-on wildlife games, crafts and stories, with the theme this month being sheep and goats. For the older kids, the Refuge will host two different day camps that will each have two sessions this summer. Critter Camp is designed for kids entering second or third grade in the fall and runs from June 10-14, with a second session from June 17-21. Kids will meet with rangers like Fink daily from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will learn about Alaska plants
and animals through arts and crafts activities, trail explorations and science experiments. Get Out & Get Dirty is the other day camp offered at the Refuge and is meant for kids entering the fourth or fifth grade this fall. The first session runs July 8-12 and the second session will be July 22-26. Meeting from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., kids will learn digital photography, map and compass and other survival skills through a variety of trail activities. Registration for Critter Camp is $50 and registration for Get Out & Get Dirty is $75.
Parents can contact Kenai Refuge Education Specialist Michelle Ostrowski at 907-260-2839 or Michelle_ostrowski@ fws.gov for more information or to obtain a registration packet. Finally, The Refuge will be hosting several interpretive storytelling events in July and August, including “Tales of the Sourdough,” which is the story of Andrew Berg, the first licensed guide in the state of Alaska. Dates for these events will be announced as they are determined, and people can call the Refuge Visitor Center at 907-260-2820 for more information.

Mexico. Though they eat all along their route, they are typically thinning by the time they return north along the West Coast each spring. They eat many things, but especially amphipods, tiny shrimp-like creatures that live in sediment on the ocean floor in the Arctic. For many years, researchers noted that fewer calves tended to be born following years when the ice in the Chukchi Sea, north of the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia, was late to melt. The whales had less time to feast because they couldn’t access the feeding area, and thus had less blubber to sustain them on their next migration. Last year, though, the Artic was unusually warm. The whales weren’t blocked from the feeding area, and yet are still struggling this year. That has scientists wondering if the loss of sea ice has led to a loss of algae that feed the amphipods. Surveys show the amphipod beds moving farther north, said Sue Moore, a biological oceanographer at the University of Washington. “The sea ice has been changing very quickly over the last decade or so,” she said. “The whales may have to shift to other prey, such
ing on education, through classes on gardening and nutrition. In 2017, the Food Bank served 20,457 meals (an average of 1,704 meals per month) through the onsite Fireweed Diner Soup Kitchen, and processed over 1.2 million pounds of food, according to the organization’s website. The food bank is a nongovernmental agency, and does not receive federal dollars, Greg Meyer, the food bank’s director, said. “We have to support ourselves and it’s a full time job,” Meyer said.
While the spring festival was an event to thank the community, the nonprofit also used the day to help raise funds by selling raffle tickets, selling ice cream sundaes and sodas and hosting a silent auction. The spring festival is the first event of its kind, Meyer said. He said the organization wanted to host an event accessible for the whole community, including the residents who visit the food bank daily. Meyer said the event, which has been six months in the making, received plenty of support and spon-
sorship, including food and drinks for the picnic. “We just always want to thank the community,” Meyer said. “It’s amazing what a giving community they are.” “It’s an incredibly generous community,” Smith said.
as krill or other things they eat.” In an average year, about 35 whales wash up in the U.S. In 2000, more than 100 did, prompting NOAA to declare an “unusual mortality event” then as well. The resulting investigation failed to identify a cause. The dieoff followed strong changes in ocean conditions in the mid-1990s, suggesting that warmer water patterns affected the availability of prey, but scientists were often unable to perform necropsies, Moore said.
“It’s sometimes very difficult to get to these whales in a timely fashion,” she said. “You can’t always get the kind of samples you would need for diagnostic reasons.” Since then, researchers have built up an improved network of volunteers and have better educated the public to help report and respond to whale deaths, said Deborah Fauquier, veterinary medical officer at NOAA’s Office of Protected Resources. This time around, scientists have been able to perform necropsies on 20 of the whales, she said.
John Calambokidis, a research biologist with the Cascadia Research Collective, noted that as the whales search farther afield for food, they’ve entered areas where they’re not normally seen so often, including San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound. That puts them at higher risk of being struck by ships or entangled in fishing gear. Four of the 10 gray whales found dead near San Francisco this year were struck by ships, and a number of shipping companies have slowed their vessels in the area to avoid collisions.
Meyer and Smith said residents interested in supporting the food bank can donate through their website kpfoodbank.org, by calling 907-262-3111, or stopping by the food bank at 33955 Community College Drive near Soldotna.

Barr’s witch hunt President Trump’s witch hunt has
found its Cotton Mather, provocateur of the infamous Salem trials. Attorney General William Barr, determined to leverage a lifetime of expertise on the nation’s laws to ensure they don’t apply to his boss, has begun pursuing Trump’s longed-for investigation of the investigators with all the knowhow and follow-through the president lacks. The White House last week granted Barr broad authority to declassify intelligence information as he probes the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russia, arming him with another means of advancing the president’s conspiracy theories of a “deep state” bent on political sabotage. Barr previously deputized the U.S. attorney for Connecticut to investigate the investigation on top of reviews by the Justice Department’s inspector general. Americans should welcome objective examinations of law enforcement and intelligence, but Barr’s record predicts nothing of the kind. The attorney general has signaled enthusiasm for Trump’s deceptive and self-serving version of events by recklessly accusing authorities of “spying” on his campaign. That suggests Barr is embarking on a more competent iteration of California Rep. Devin Nunes’ misuse of declassified material to run interference for the president during the Tulare Republican’s mercifully discontinued leadership of the House Intelligence Committee. Barr, who also served as attorney general under George H.W. Bush, is a longtime champion of extreme and expansive views of presidential power. This ideology is at odds with constitutional checks and balances but in line with a president who has shown scant regard for legal and ethical constraints. The attorney general’s reinvigoration of this witch hunt is a fitting sequel to his distortion of the Mueller report. Having recast the damning document of presidential obstruction as an exoneration, he has turned his attention to sowing doubt about the investigation itself. Taken together, however, Barr’s campaigns to obfuscate and undermine the Mueller report reveal the illogic of Barr and Trump’s position. An administration that insists the special counsel’s investigation vindicated the president is now engaged in a concerted effort to discredit that supposedly exculpatory investigation.

Letters to the Editor A betrayal of the Greatest Generation Re: Proposed rate hikes for Pioneer Home residents This has got to be one of the most outrageous things I have ever heard! The cost of assisted living at this time is well above what most folks can afford even if they have a decent retirement. The costs range from about $6,300 per month on up. And having an agency come into the home 24/7 to care for someone is much more costly. Do the research. So now they have to tap in to their savings to supplement their monthly costs. And, if they don’t have a savings? Well maybe it’s because they have had to use it for exorbitant prescrip-
tion costs. Maybe they couldn’t afford a supplemental insurance plan to pay for the 20% Medicare won’t pay. Maybe, since they no longer “owner occupy” their home (due to their age/health and can no longer care for themselves) they have to pay full property taxes, of which a large portion were once exempted. That is another huge financial burden for someone on a fixed income. Add to that having to continue to pay utilities in the home you can no longer live in until you are able to get your home sold. Can you imagine the stress? They say the average Pioneer home resident is 87 years old. They can’t go out and work anymore or they probably would because they have an integrity like no other. Our Great-
Consolidation doesn’t always save money
est Generation are being forgotten. If the issue, Gov. Dunleavy, is that you want to get your hands on more money from those who have money then maybe a sliding scale might be in order. And what happened to your moral compass? As the governor of Alaska you may have the ability to make these proposed changes but morally is it the right thing? I don’t think so. Most of our seniors worked hard all their lives, paid taxes and were instrumental in the building of this state. They were the fire, the dreamers, the builders. Leave them some dignity. Give them peace.
I am a retired UAA associate professor. So the University of Alaska is considering consolidation into one unit. If they follow the plan used in the 1980s to reorganize the community colleges, the result will be an ever more expensive university. Following the 1980s plan, the likely result with be one unit retaining all the administrators and adding new ones, all with an increase in pay. The top people may get new titles to try and fool the legislators as was done in the 1980s reorganization. The reality is that universities cut the delivery of services to students while keeping the top fat in place. Will legislators be fooled again?

News and Politics
Warren tells Dem activists ‘time for small ideas is over’ By KATHLEEN RONAYNE AND NICHOLAS RICCARDI Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Sen. Elizabeth Warren electrified California Democrats on Saturday with a pledge for bold action, matching if not outshining enthusiasm for the state’s own Sen. Kamala Harris to kick off a day when more than a dozen presidential candidates planned to make their cases to thousands of activists in the nation’s largest liberal stronghold. “Some say if we all just calm down, the Republicans will come to their senses,” Warren said in bringing the crowd to its feet with a thinly veiled shot at former Vice President Joe Biden, who has expressed hope
the GOP will have “an epiphany” after President Donald Trump is gone. “But our country is in a crisis. The time for small ideas is over.” Biden was the only major candidate not attending the three-day gathering in San Francisco, opting instead to campaign in Ohio. California has shifted its 2020 primary earlier on the calendar, to March 3, part of the Super Tuesday collection of contests, in hopes of giving the state more sway in choosing the party’s nominee. California will offer the largest delegate haul, but it is a notoriously difficult state to campaign in, given its massive size and expensive media markets. While Harris has a built-in advantage, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders
is also expecting to build heavily on the organization he built in the 2016 contest. She looked to make a show of force in Saturday’s prime speaking slot to kick off addresses from presidential hopefuls, the day’s main event. She played up her deep connection to California voters, having won statewide office three times, once to U.S. Senate and twice as the state’s attorney general, and having been elected as San Francisco’s district attorney. Harris too sparked a standing ovation when she declared, “We need to begin impeachment proceedings and we need a new commander in chief!” Earlier, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi avoided mentioning impeachment in her remarks but said the House would hold Trump accountable.
Biden declares LGBTQ rights his No. 1 legislative priority By BILL BARROW Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden declared Saturday that the Equality Act would be his top legislative priority, an effort to enshrine LGBTQ protections into the nation’s labor and civil rights laws. The former vice president shared his hopes of signing the legislation as part of a keynote address to hundreds of activists at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual Ohio gala. In a half-hour at the lectern, his remarks ranged from emotional tributes to his audience and their personal endurance to condemnations of President Donald Trump. “It’s wrong and it is immoral what they’re doing,” Biden said of the Trump administration. Among other Trump polices, he cited attempts to bar transgender troops in the U.S. military, allow individuals in the medical
field to refuse to treat LGBTQ individuals, and allow homeless shelters to refuse transgender occupants. “Just like with racial justice and women’s rights, we are seeing pushback against all the progress we’ve made toward equality,” Biden said. The Equality Act would address many such discriminatory practices. It recently passed the Democratic-run House, but will not become law under Trump and the Republican Senate. That means LGBTQ residents in dozens of states are still subject to various forms of discrimination that are either specifically allowed or not barred by state law. “It will be the first thing I ask to be done,” Biden said. Biden spoke in Ohio, a political battleground he was visiting for the first time since beginning his bid, on the same day that more than a dozen of his rivals were in San Francisco for the California Democratic Convention and a massive MoveOn.org con-
ference. By the end of the weekend, 14 candidates will have addressed thousands of activists in California, which has more than 400 delegates to the 2020 convention, about a fifth of what it will take to win the nomination. Among them, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, nodded to Biden’s absence with subtle jabs. “Some Democrats in Washington believe the only changes we can get are tweaks and nudges. ... Some say if we all just calm down, the Republicans will come to their senses,” Warren said, an allusion to Biden’s recent prediction that Republicans will have “an epiphany” once Trump leaves office. Biden made no mention of his rivals, with his go-it-alone itinerary and his message signifying his burgeoning confidence at his position atop the pack of 24 presidential hopefuls.

Virginia victims had 150 years of combined service By BEN FINLEY and DENISE LAVOIE Associated Press
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Four were engineers who worked to maintain streets and protect wetlands. Three were right-of-way agents who reviewed property lines. The others included an account clerk, a technician, an administrative assistant and a special projects coordinator. In all, they had served the city of Virginia Beach for more than 150 years. These 11 city employees and one contractor were wiped out Friday when a fellow city worker opened fire inside a municipal building. A day after the shooting, city officials sought to honor them by sharing their job titles and years of service in a somber slideshow. “They leave a void that we will never be able to fill,” said City Manager Dave Hansen, who had worked for years with many of the dead. Police Chief James Cervera identified the assailant as DeWayne Craddock, who had been employed for 15 years as an engineer with the city’s utilities department. He declined to comment on a mo-
Anthony Moore, center, and his fiancee Kaitlyn Mitchell, comfort each other during the prayer vigil at Strawbridge Marketplace, in response to a shooting at a municipal building in Virginia Beach, Va., Saturday. A longtime city employee opened fire at the building Friday before police shot and killed him, authorities said. (Daniel Sangjib Min/ Richmond Times-Dispatch via AP)
tive for the rampage, which ended with Craddock’s death in a gun battle with officers. City officials uttered his name just once and said they would not mention it again. Joseph Scott, an engineering technician with the utili-
ties department, said he had worked with Craddock and had a brief interaction with him Friday, passing him in the men’s restroom about five minutes before the shooting. “He was in there brushing his teeth, which he always did
after he ate,” Scott said. “I said ‘Hey, how you doing? What are you doing this weekend?’ It was just a brief conversation.” Scott said he left for the day right after and learned of the shooting when a co-work-
er and then his son called him asking if he was OK. “I couldn’t believe that it happened,” he said. One of the dead employees had worked for the city for 41 years. Six worked in the same department as Craddock, though authorities have declined to say if anyone was specifically targeted or if the suspect had issued threats before. The victims were found throughout the building, on three floors, police said. The municipal building was open to the public, but security passes were required to enter inner offices, conference rooms and other work areas. As a current employee, Craddock would have had the pass to enter the inner offices, Hansen said. In response to a reporter’s question, Cervera said the gunman had not been fired. One of the dead, Christopher Kelly Rapp of Powhatan, enjoyed Scottish music and joined a pipe band last fall. He played with the group in October during a Celtic festival in Virginia and marched with bandmates on St. Patrick’s Day. “Chris was reserved but very friendly, quietly engaging members one-on-one
after our weekly practices,” the band, Tidewater Pipes & Drums, said in a statement. Another victim, Mary Louise Gayle of Virginia Beach, was described as a “super sweet lady” who always had a big smile. “She would always be out there in the yard, working on something and talking to my daughters,” John Cushman, Gayle’s next-door neighbor, told The New York Times. The other employees who were killed were identified as Tara Welch Gallagher, Alexander Mikhail Gusev, Katherine A. Nixon, Ryan Keith Cox, Joshua O. Hardy and Michelle “Missy” Langer, all of Virginia Beach; Laquita C. Brown and Robert “Bobby” Williams, both of Chesapeake; and Richard H. Nettleton of Norfolk. The 12th victim, Herbert “Bert” Snelling of Virginia Beach, was a contractor who was in the building to seek a permit. The police and fire departments were to assign members of their honor guards to help each victim’s family. Authorities have said Craddock fired indiscriminately. At least three other people who were wounded remained hospitalized Saturday.
In central US, levee breaches flood some communities By HANNAH GRABENSTEIN Associated Press
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Crews were making a “last ditch effort” on Saturday to save low-lying parts of a small Arkansas city from floodwaters pouring through a breached levee, and authorities downstream were warning people to leave a neighborhood that sits across the swollen river from the state capital. Further north in Iowa, a flood barrier along the swollen Mississippi River failed Saturday, flooding four to six blocks of downtown Burlington, a city of about 25,000 people that is 170 miles southeast of Des Moines. On Friday, the Arkansas River, which has been flooding communities for more than a week, tore a 40-foot hole in a levee in Dardanelle, a city of about 4,700 people roughly 100 miles upstream
In this aerial image provided by Yell County Sheriff’s Department water rushes through the levee along the Arkansas River Friday, in Dardanelle, Ark. Officials say the levee breached early Friday at Dardanelle, about 60 miles northwest of Little Rock. (Yell County Sheriff’s Department via AP)
from Little Rock. Mayor Jimmy Witt said Saturday that officials don’t believe a temporary levee being constructed will stop the water from flooding the south
side of Dardanelle, but he hopes it will buy time for residents of up to 800 threatened homes to prepare. “We have started a last ditch effort to try and protect
the southern borders of the city,” he said at a news conference. The river has been widening the levee breach and floodwaters have been slowly
approaching homes, officials said. Water from some creeks and tributaries has already flooded some houses, they said. Yell County Judge Mark Thone said flooding has surrounded about 25 people in a rural community a few miles south of Dardanelle, and several roads have closed due to high water. Meanwhile in North Little Rock, which is just across the Arkansas River from Little Rock, officials were going door-to-door Saturday to tell people in the Dixie Addition neighborhood to consider leaving. The river isn’t expected to crest in the Little Rock area until Tuesday, but North Little Rock officials said on Facebook that they believe the river will back up storm drainage areas and cause roads to become inaccessible in and around Dixie Addition, possibly for more than a week. City spokesman Nathan
Hamilton said there are about 150 homes covered by the evacuation recommendation. He said other homes also could be affected by flooding, but officials were currently focusing on only the most pressing neighborhood. The evacuation recommendation followed a false alarm overnight that a nearby levee had breached and that flash flooding was possible. Officials quickly reversed themselves, though, and said that it hadn’t failed and wasn’t in danger of doing so. Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Friday that officials were working to identify higher-risk spots in the Arkansas River’s levee system. “Obviously the breach in Dardanelle is a sign that there could be more of these breaches that will happen as the pressure continues to mount in the coming days,” Hutchinson said.

Turkey, Russia face conflicts over Syria’s push into Idlib By ZEYNEP BILGINSOY Associated Press
ISTANBUL — Ankara and Moscow are again facing an escalation of violence in Syria’s last rebel-held territory, a development that puts their cooperation to the test even as they support opposing sides in the eight-year war that has devastated Syria. An all-out offensive by Syrian government forces to capture Idlib in northwestern Syria from insurgents could unleash an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, for the area is home to 3 million people. Turkey, which is already hosting more than 3.6 million Syrian refugees, is facing strong pressure from Syria, Iran and Russia to deliver on its pledge to control the armed rebel factions in Idlib. But Turkey also needs Russia to rein in Syrian President Bashar Assad to prevent a massive outflow of refugees and to keep Turkish soldiers on the ground safe. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin “have an incentive to cooperate and ensure that nobody’s interests are totally trampled,” says Aaron Stein, the director of the Middle East program in American think-tank Foreign Policy Research Institute. In September, the two leaders brokered a cease-fire for Idlib in the Russian resort of Sochi, preventing a bloody onslaught, despite the fact that Russia has firmly backed Assad and Turkey supports opposition forces. Nine months later, the truce has failed. The agreement called for a 9-to-12 mile demilitarized zone free of insurgents
Explosion at Russian plant injures 79 MOSCOW — Russia’s health ministry says 79 people have been injured in an explosion in a plant manufacturing TNT. The blast took place Saturday in Dzerzhinsk, 250 miles east of Moscow. An investigation is underway but the cause of the blast has not been determined. The ministry said 38 employees at the plant and 41 local residents sought treatment after the blast. It said 15 were hospitalized, one in serious condition. The blast broke windows in about 180 residential buildings near the plant, the state news agency Tass reported, citing city authorities. Dmitry Krasnov, deputy governor of the region that includes Dzerzhinsk, said earlier on state TV that two people were missing in the blast, but later said that information had not been confirmed.

and heavy weaponry and for two key highways crossing through Idlib to be reopened. The demilitarized zone has been breached and the highways are at the center of the current government offensive. Syrian ground forces have been advancing from the south of the rebel stronghold under the cover of Syrian and Russian airstrikes. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said more than 291 civilians and 369 fighters have been killed since April 30 in the rebel stronghold. In the same period, 269 government troops and 22 civilians were killed in government areas by rebel fire. The U.N.’s children’s agency said more than 130 children have reportedly been killed. Already, more than 200,000 people from the stronghold have been displaced, according to the U.N., with some seeking
safety near the border with Turkey while others crammed into crowded camps in Syria. Turkey has accused the Syrian government of violating the cease-fire and Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said the country has told Russia “the regime must be controlled.” Russia has launched airstrikes in Idlib and is providing air cover in the Syrian government offensive. It has complained that the militants have increasingly been targeting its military base in the nearby coastal province of Latakia. But for now, Moscow is unlikely to support an all-out Syrian operation in Idlib because the benefits of a long-term alliance with Turkey outweigh one military battle. “Russia doesn’t want to ruin its relationship with Turkey because of Idlib,” says Kirill Semenov, a Moscow-based Middle East analyst and expert
at the Russian International Affairs Council. In late April, Putin said he would not rule out a large-scale assault but “together with our Syrian friends, we believe that this would not be advisable” due to humanitarian issues. Still, Russia’s patience is wearing thin with the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, which it accuses of targeting its military base. HTS is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, Russia and Turkey, despite its claims it has disassociated from al-Qaida. Top Russian officials have often called Idlib a “breeding ground for terrorists.” Despite the cease-fire deal, Turkey has been unable to neutralize the extremists. Much of Idlib has come under the control of HTS, which has defeated Turkey-backed armed groups.
Pompeo attends Bilderberg Group event
CATANIA, Sicily — Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, is spewing ash and lava once again, but officials say the activity is taking place at its summit and does not pose a risk to people. Etna began a new phase of eruptions on Thursday as new cracks in the volcano opened up, sending lava down its flank. The volcano previously erupted in December and sparked minor earthquakes that caused extensive damage to buildings in the vicinity. Eugenio Privitera, the director in Catania of Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, says this eruption is taking place at the summit. He says it does not pose risks to local people but visitors to Etna will need to be kept away from the summit for their own safety. Etna is a popular tourist destination and its eruptions, especially when seen at night, are spectacular to watch. Privitera says this new active phase could be over quickly or it could go on for months.
El Salvador’s president sworn in SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Youthful businessman Nayib Bukele has assumed the presidency of El Salvador, ending more than a quarter century of twoparty dominance in the crime-plagued Central America nation. Dressed in a blue suit with no tie and accompanied by his wife Gabriela, the 37-year-old former mayor of San Salvador put his left hand on the Bible and swore to fulfill and enforce the laws of the country during his five-year term. Thousands of Salvadorans in the Gerardo Barrios Plaza in the capital shouted: “Yes, it’s possible! Yes, it’s possible! Nayib president!” El Salvador “has suffered greatly. It is a country that has had to rebuild; it has had earthquakes and corrupt governments and yet we continue move forward,” Bukele said in his inaugural speech.
Italy blocks Bannon’s plans for right-wing political academy
By MATTHEW LEE and JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press
MONTREUX, Switzerland — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday joined Jared Kushner at a closed-doors meeting of the Bilderberg Group in the Swiss resort of Montreux, with many attendees uneasy about what one protester called the “wrecking ball” that President Donald Trump’s administration has taken to the postwar international order. The annual gathering of high-profile participants from business, politics, intelligence and defense saw a visit from America’s top diplomat just as freshly-announced Trump tariffs on Mexico rattled world markets and U.S. tensions with Iran raised world concerns. The four-day meeting that ends Sunday comes as Trump critics argue that his rhetoric and policies are a threat to the globalist postwar stability that was largely born of U.S. leadership. Trump supporters counter that the United States has been taken for granted for too long and its needs must

now come first. Private security and Swiss police cordoned off sidewalks and limited traffic near the bright-yellow Fairmont Le Montreux Palace overlooking Lake Geneva, where the meeting was taking place this year. A handful of placardwaving protesters voiced their
opposition peacefully outside the gates. The event, which aims to foster dialogue between experts from North America and Europe, is closed off to the public, and attendees are encouraged to keep quiet about what is said inside. On the agenda this year were top-
ics like Europe, China and Russia, climate change, the future of capitalism and cyberthreats. The meeting’s theme this year — “A Stable Strategic Order” — was something that Trump critics said the U.S. leader and his advisers should ponder.
COLLEPARDO, Italy — Italy’s populist government is blocking plans by former White House adviser Steve Bannon to set up an academy for future populist leaders in a medieval monastery in the mountains outside of Rome. On Friday, Italy’s government said it was revoking the rights to the property, which were given to the Dignitatis Humanae Institute, a think-tank affiliated with Bannon. Among other problems, Italy’s culture ministry said the institute has not paid concession fees and failed to do maintenance work on the monastery. The monastery is perched on a mountain near the town of Collepardo in Frosinone province southeast of Rome. “It’s not about political opinions but respect for the law,” Gianluca Vacca, an undersecretary at the ministry, said about kicking the institute out of the monastery. “Thus proceeding with the revocation was a duty.” Benjamin Harnwell, the institute’s founder, rejected the ministry’s claims and said his think-tank will fight to stay in the monastery. He vowed his institute will contest the “illegitimate maneuver with every resource at its disposal no matter how many years it takes.” He claimed that politics was behind the decision to revoke the lease. Bannon is close to right-wing Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, who has become Italy’s most prominent politician after his anti-migrant party, the League, formed a coalition government last year with the populist, leftleaning 5-Star Movement. But the relationship between the two ruling parties has become rocky. A member of the 5-Star Movement runs Italy’s culture ministry. — Associated Press

All in the family Rodeo continues to forge close relationships By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
Rodeo season is now in full swing, and that means horses, steer, trailers and barrels. But most of all, it means family. Samantha Jones, the secretary of the Soldotna Equestrian Association, has been involved with the association for 17 years, starting when she was 13. Her family was very into motocross. Jones won a state championship on her bike and looked for something new. “I’m the only one in my family who wanted actual horsepower instead of an engine,” she said. The transition from motocross to rodeo was daunting. As Jones’ mother pointed out, horses are much more expensive and they don’t automatically go to the trailer when you tell them to. “It wouldn’t have went as well if this wasn’t such a family,” Jones
‘Everybody’s so encouraging here and that’s what helps people stick around.’ — Samantha Jones, Soldotna Equestrian Association secretary
said while sitting at the Soldotna Rodeo Grounds on Friday at the start of the first major rodeo of the year. “I’m the only one in my family who did this. I came here not knowing anything and I didn’t know anybody, and I was always shy. “Everybody’s so encouraging here and that’s what helps people stick around.” No matter what kind of a ride she had, there was always somebody waiting at dismount to tell her what a great job she did. Jones now serves in the same “rodeo mom” role to all the children at the rodeo, including her 7-year-
old daughter, Isabella Collum, and 15-year-old stepdaughter, Jaala Lopez. One of Jones’ rodeo moms is Beth Fowler of Soldotna. Fowler was on the original SEA board and has been coming to the rodeo grounds since 1976. “This is like home for us. The funny joke my kids always say is that they were riding before they were born,” Fowler said of Chelsea, 36; Mellissa, 33; and Jacob, 29. With such experience of the past, Fowler has a keen sense of the future. That’s why she was so See HORSE, page B4

Bruins take down Blues Boston grabs 2-1 series lead By STEPHEN WHYNO AP Hockey Writer
ST. LOUIS — David Pastrnak flashed a wry smile, brimming with confidence. No even-strength points through the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final for the first line put plenty of pressure on Boston’s best players to produce. Pastrnak shrugged it off, saying on scale of 1 to 10 they felt the pressure level was something around a 2. Then they got on the ice and delivered. The stars led Boston to a 7-2 rout of the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night to take a 2-1 lead in the bestof-seven series. Defenseman Torey Krug scored a goal and had three assists, top-line center Patrice Bergeron had a goal and two assists, Pastrnak and Brad Marchand got on the scoresheet and the top power-play unit was a perfect 4 for 4 — on four shots. “It’s about time we get going,” said Pastrnak, who scored his first goal in the final. “I still think we haven’t
played our best. But we are up 2-1 and we need to meet tomorrow, look at the video and get even better. That’s our focus in this group, and we’ve got a lot of good players, so we know we can even elevate more.” Game 4 is Monday night in St. Louis. Boston chased Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington, silenced actor and Blues super fan Jon Hamm and a raucous crowd that was fired up for the first Cup Final game in St. Louis in 49 years. The Bruins survived an initial onslaught and then simply took it to the home team. “We’ve been through so much together this year that we just rely on one another in uncomfortable situations,” said Marchand, who assisted on Krug’s goal. “When we get through it, we get through it together.” Nothing was more important to get the Bruins through this than Marchand, Bergeron and Pastrnak getting on track. The line combined for five points in a decidedly better effort at See CUP, page B2
Yankees top rival Red Sox By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Gary Sánchez hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the fifth inning, Aroldis Chapman escaped trouble in the ninth and the New York Yankees bullpen held tight again to beat the Boston Red Sox 5-3 Saturday night. After starter Domingo Germán was chased early, six Yankee relievers combined for 5 1/3 scoreless innings to lock down another victory over the rival Red Sox — New York is 4-0 to start the season series, a first since 2012. Chapman walked Mookie Betts and allowed a single to Andrew Benintendi leading off the ninth, but J.D. Martinez hit a double-play grounder and Rafael Devers rolled the last out to first. Chapman got his 17th save in 18 tries, closing out a game where Chad Green (1-2) and Adam Ottavino stranded runners with timely strikeouts. Boston went 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position, including seven strikeouts.
The Red Sox tied a season high with 14 strikeouts and matched a season most with their fourth straight loss. The Yankees have won 15 of 18 and clinched their ninth straight series victory, a first for the franchise since 1998.

Homer nabs 4th at state softball By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
The mood in the Homer Mariners dugout was somber Saturday morning after a 9-1 loss to Ketchikan ended the Mariners’ season at the Division II state softball tournament at Cartee Fields in Anchorage, but the forecast is bright. After a Friday loss to Sitka dropped Homer into the loser-out
bracket in the double-elimination tournament, the Mariners were faced with the prospect of having to win out the rest of the way Saturday in order to break a 13-year team championship drought, but the Southeast once again proved to be a tough ticket and Homer finished in fourth place. Sitka won the Div. II title with an 11-3 win over Ketchikan later in the day, after Ketchikan had forced the

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Marwin Gonzalez and Byron Buxton homered and drove in two runs each as Minnesota beat Tampa Bay. The Twins, who lead the majors with 108 homers, failed to go deep while splitting the first two games of the series at Tropicana Field. Kyle Gibson (6-2) allowed one unearned run and six hits over five innings for Minnesota.

Mariners capture 2 of 3 to survive
TWINS 6, RAYS 2
PITTSBURGH — Orlando Arcia hit his second homer of the game, a two-run drive in the 13th inning that sent Milwaukee over Pittsburgh. Both teams blew late leads
“If-necessary” championship game with a 22-9 beatdown over Sitka. However, head coach Bill Bell believes the rest of the state is slowly catching the Southeast teams of Sitka, Ketchikan and Thunder Mountain. “They’re beatable,” Bell said. “I think the idea of the myth itself is gone. This (Saturday game) was us helping them along tremendously.”

The Homer Mariners won two of three games Friday to survive and advance in the Division II state softball tournament at Cartee Fields in Anchorage. Homer beat Delta Junction 11-6, then lost to Sitka 9-1 before wrapping up with a 13-1 victory over Hutchison. The results left the Mariners with a 10 a.m. Saturday game with Ketchikan, which beat Homer 11-7 on Thursday. In order to win the Division II state title, the Mariners need to win four games Saturday — two to
Friday reach the final, then a third win to force a fourth, “ifnecessary” game, against the winner of the championship bracket. It all adds up to a tough task for the Mariners. “We’re going to have to be there to play that one (against Ketchikan),” Bell said. “That’s a tough team.” Bell stressed to his team following the Hutchison win that in order to keep advancing through the tournament, the Mariners must stay focused and determined.

5-on-5 and on the power play. “We spent less time in our zone,” Bergeron said moments after the win. “When we do that we have more energy on offense.” Tuukka Rask was solid as usual in goal with 27 saves, and the Bruins continued to get contributions all over their lineup.

“The message now is we’re going to have to play a lot of games (Saturday) and we can’t play this crappy against a team that has everything going for it.” Bell said. “There was just no energy, we came out flat with no energy. It should’ve been over with 15 runs after two innings. I think we assumed that these guys would just roll over.” Homer 11, Delta 6 In Friday’s opener with the Huskies, Homer’s Annalynn Brown hit 3 for 4 with five RBIs, including a three-run blast over the center field fence in the sixth inning, to lead the offense. Brown also pitched the full seven innings, scattering nine hits with two walks and a strikeout. “I just hit really well,” Brown said. “I thought they were beautiful pitches, I had my timing perfect. I think all of them were really nice. “I thought my pitching was really on. For the most part (the Homer defense) had a lot of really great plays.” Brown said the homer was the first of her varsity career with the Mariners, which made it all the more timely. “It felt so good,” Brown said. “It was way over (the fence).” Haylee Owen had a big day, going 3 for 4 with three runs, and Kaitlyn Johnson, Zoe Adkins and Hannah Hatfield all added two hits apiece. Overall, Homer tagged Delta starter Alyssa
tinued his hot run with his eighth goal of the playoffs, fourth-liner Sean Kuraly scored his second in three games and Marcus Johansson added goal No. 7 in the final minutes. “It’s fun to see everyone contribute,” Johansson said. “I don’t think anyone cares who scores or what, but it’s fun to see everyone contribute.” The Bruins are two victories away from their first Stanley Cup since 2011 and Boston’s third in a row in the four major North Amer-
Hooton with 15 hits while staying mistake free on defense. The Huskies committed three errors. Brown got the day started with a run-scoring double in the first inning, then added another RBI double in the fifth and capped it with her homer in the sixth. A confusing play delayed the game approximately 10 minutes in the bottom of the first with two Delta runners on base. Ashley Bevard cranked a pop fly to center field, where Homer’s Grace Godfrey caught it as she tumbled over the flexible fencing to rob Bevard of a home run. However, the umpires motioned both Delta base runners to move up a base, prompting the Homer staff to argue the call. After the game, Bell said the umps explained that Godfrey’s glove touched the ground on the play, making for a live ball situation. Since no runners advanced, the call was made to enforce them to move up. Brown limited the damage by inducing a pop-out on the next batter to end the inning. “I’ve just been experimenting with different spins,” Brown said. “Kind of knowing what these batters like to hit, and what they don’t like to hit. … I figured girls that are eager to hit, just throw a changeup and they’ll lunge for it and pop it up to Grace.” Homer opened up its lead in the second inning with an RBI double by Owen and a two-run single by Becca Chapman on a liner to center field, giving the Mariners a 4-0 lead.

ican professional sports. The Blues came out flat and continued a troubling trend of parading to the penalty box. After being the least-penalized team through the first three rounds, the Blues took seven more minors Saturday to give them 17 in the final. “We do have to limit the penalties for sure,” Blues coach Craig Berube said. “We know they have a dangerous power play and we’ve been flirting with danger here the whole series and it burnt us tonight.”
Staying disciplined was Berube’s focus given the charged atmosphere that delivered on all the hype. His players didn’t practice what he preached, and Berube’s staff even got a penalty for unsuccessfully challenging Kuraly’s goal for offside with 7.8 seconds left in the first period. Berube believed it was a 50/50 call and took a chance that cost his team when Pastrnak scored on the ensuing power play. Just about everything went wrong for the Blues, who were

Homer used up its first of two mulligans in the double-elimination tournament with a loss to the Wolves on Friday afternoon. Abby Forrester made life tough for Homer, hitting 4 for 4 with two RBIs and two runs. The Mariners were led by Kaylin Anderson’s 2-for-3 day, while Godfrey, Brown, Brianna Hetrick, Johnson and Hatfield all notched a base hit as well. Sitka was able to feast on the bottom four of Homer’s lineup, which went a combined 1 for 11 with eight strikeouts. Adkins lasted three innings pitching before being pulled for Brown. Adkins gave up four runs on five hits and three walks and struck out three, while Brown gave up five runs on seven hits and struck out two.

After two scoreless innings between the two foes, the Mariners were able to strike first in the top of the third with an RBI single by Hetrick to give Homer a lead over perennial powerhouse Sitka. Hetrick drove in Brown, who had hit a two-out double prior to Hetrick’s base knock. However, the Wolves answered immediately with three runs in the bottom of the third. Sitka’s Tyla Gleason led off with a walk, then scored when Avery Voron laid down a bunt and the throw by Homer shortstop Johnson sailed wide at first, tying the game. Later, Miah Dumag put Sitka ahead 2-1 on an RBI ground-out, and Forrester scored a third run on a passed ball. Sitka tacked on two more

In the top of the fifth, Homer threatened by putting two runners on base with one out, but a fly-out and a force-out squandered it for the Mariners.

NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Ruiz Jr. had six weeks to prepare for the fight of his life. He’ll have a lifetime to celebrate one of boxing’s biggest heavyweight stunners. A massive underdog just like Buster Douglas, Ruiz knocked down British champion Anthony Joshua four times, and the final two in the seventh round proved the decisive blows. Ruiz, the first heavyweight of Mexican descent to win a heavyweight title, capped one of boxing’s epic upsets to win Joshua’s shares of the heavyweight championship Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. “I just feel so good, man,” Ruiz said. “This is what I’ve been dreaming about, this is what I’ve been working hard for. I can’t believe I just made my dreams come true.” Ruiz etched his name in heavyweight lore by TKO at 1:27 in the seventh round to become the
surprise champ in a bout that had shades of Douglas’ upset over Mike Tyson for the heavyweight title in 1990. Ruiz barely was on anyone’s heavyweight radar when he was summoned as a replacement to fight the undefeated Joshua in front of a packed Garden. Considered a joke by fans, all Ruiz did was dominate the British champion and used a TKO to turn his life and the heavyweight division upside down. Ruiz racked up 32 wins without beating many boxers of note and walked into the ring with a waistline that will need a supersized championship belt. Ruiz, a flabby fighter out of Southern California, came up short in his only other shot at a world title, having lost on points to then-WBO champion Joseph Parker in December 2016. Ruiz even warned Joshua before the fight: “Don’t underestimate this little fat boy.”

Liverpool captures Champions League MADRID (AP) — No tears of pain this time, just redemption for Mohamed Salah. Only 108 seconds were needed to banish the Champions League final heartbreak of a year ago. Once Salah dispatched his early penalty against Tottenham, Liverpool was on the path to a sixth European title with a 2-0 victory on Saturday. And a year after defeat in the final to Real Madrid, Juergen Klopp has his first title after four years as Liverpool manager. A shoulder injury forced Salah out of the Kiev show-
piece last year. This time it was Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko’s arm that gifted Liverpool the early penalty opening — blocking Sadio Mane’s shot after 21 seconds — and Salah converted from the spot after a video review check. “I have sacrificed a lot for my career,” Salah said. “To come from a village, to go to Cairo, and to be an Egyptian at this level is unbelievable for me.” On a hot and humid night in Madrid, Tottenham came to life only in the final 20 minutes of its first European Cup final.
Today in History Today is Sunday, June 2, the 153rd day of 2019. There are 212 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 2, 1979, Pope John Paul II arrived in his native Poland on the first visit by a pope to a Communist country. On this date: In 1886, President Grover Cleveland, 49, married Frances Folsom, 21, in the Blue Room of the White House. (To date, Cleveland is the only president to marry in the executive mansion.) In 1897, Mark Twain was quoted by the New York Journal as saying from London that “the report of my death was an exaggeration.” (Twain was responding to a report in the New York Herald that he was “grievously ill” and “possibly dying.”) In 1924, Congress passed, and President Calvin Coolidge signed, a measure guaranteeing full American citizenship for all Native Americans born within U.S. territorial limits. In 1941, baseball’s “Iron Horse,” Lou Gehrig, died in New York of a degenerative disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; he was 37. In 1953, the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place in London’s Westminster Abbey, 16 months after the death of her father, King George VI. In 1961, playwright and director George S. Kaufman, 71, died in New York. In 1966, U.S. space probe Surveyor 1 landed on the moon and began transmitting detailed photographs of the lunar surface. In 1976, Arizona Republic investigative reporter Don Bolles (bohlz) was mortally wounded by a bomb planted underneath his car; he died 11 days later. (Prosecutors believed Bolles was targeted because he had written stories that upset a liquor wholesaler; three men were convicted of the killing.) In 1983, half of the 46 people aboard an Air Canada DC-9 were killed after fire broke out on board, forcing the jetliner to make an emergency landing at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. In 1986, for the first time, the public could watch the proceedings of the U.S. Senate on television as a six-week experiment began. In 1997, Timothy McVeigh was convicted of murder and conspiracy in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people. (McVeigh was executed in June 2001.) In 2004, the syndicated TV game show “Jeopardy!” began airing contestant Ken Jennings’ 74-game winning streak. Ten years ago: Scott Roeder, an anti-abortion activist, was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kansas. (Roeder was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 50 years.) Chicago police officer Anthony Abbate (ah-BAHT’-ee) was convicted of committing aggravated battery against Karolina Obrycka (ob-RY’-kah), a bartender half his size, after she’d refused to serve him more drinks; Abbate received probation. Five years ago: Spain’s King Juan Carlos, who’d led the transition from dictatorship to democracy but faced damaging scandals amid a financial meltdown, announced he would abdicate in favor of his more popular son Felipe. One year ago: Bare-knuckle boxing matches took place in front of 2,000 rowdy fans at a hockey rink in Cheyenne, Wyoming; the event, promoted as the first legal, regulated and sanctioned bare-knuckle fight event in U.S. history, featured 10 bouts and was viewed by tens of thousands via pay-per-view.

Serena bows out early at French Open By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer
PARIS — Maybe it was the daunting deficit Serena Williams faced in the French Open’s third round. Maybe it was the way her 20-year-old American opponent, Sofia Kenin, was questioning line calls. Either way, as Williams attempted to start a comeback Saturday with a three-ace game, she followed those big serves with some serious staredowns. Whether it was meant to get herself going or intimidate Kenin, it didn’t work. Outplayed from start to finish, Williams lost 6-2, 7-5 to the 35th-ranked Kenin, ending her latest bid for a 24th Grand Slam title with her earliest loss at a major tournament in five years.
“In that first set in particular, she hit pretty much inches from the line, and I haven’t played anyone like that in a long time,” the 37-year-old Williams said. “I just saw a player that was playing unbelievable.” It was the second significant surprise in a matter of hours: Earlier in the day, No. 1 seed Naomi Osaka was eliminated 6-4, 6-2 by 42nd-ranked Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic. That ended Osaka’s 16-match Grand Slam winning streak, which included titles at the U.S. Open final in September — when she beat Williams in the final — and at the Australian Open in January. Osaka was trying to become the first woman to win three consecutive major trophies since Williams grabbed four in a row in 2014-15,
a run that was preceded by a second-round loss at Roland Garros and a third-round loss at Wimbledon. Since those early-for-her defeats, Williams had won six of the 14 majors she entered to surpass Steffi Graf’s professional-era record of 22 Grand Slam singles championships. With 23, Williams stands one away from Margaret Court’s mark for the most in tennis history; Court played in both the professional and amateur eras. “Serena is such a tough player. I’m still trying to process what just happened,” Kenin said, about an hour after the match ended with her covering her face with both hands. “She’s a true champion and an inspiration.” Kenin was born in Moscow and is fluent in Russian. Her fam-
ily moved to New York when she was a baby, and she now is based in Florida. “I’m proud to be an American,” said Kenin, who wore a blue U.S. Fed Cup cap to her news conference. “I think it’s great we moved to America for a better life for me.” She is appearing in the ninth major of her career and now is headed to her initial trip to the round of 16, where she’ll meet No. 8 seed Ash Barty. Other women’s fourth-round matchups established Saturday: defending champion Simona Halep vs. 18-yearold Iga Swiatek of Poland; No. 14 Madison Keys of the U.S. vs. Sinikiakova; 17-year-old Amanda Anisimova of the U.S. vs. qualifier Aliona Bolsova of Spain. Williams sat out four Slams
in 2017-18 while she was off the tour to have a baby. Her first major back was last year’s French Open, where she withdrew before a fourth-round match because of a chest muscle injury. She went on to reach the finals of Wimbledon and the U.S. Open before wasting match points during a quarterfinal loss at the Australian Open this January. Williams came to Paris having played only four matches since then — she withdrew from two tournaments because of an injured left knee and another because of illness. And she had said she considered not entering the French Open at all. “I’m glad I came, at the end of the day,” she said, “but it’s been a really grueling season for me.”

excited to hear 50-plus kids are entered in Saturday’s junior rodeo. The rodeo is even started an hour earlier than in the past — 1 p.m. — because of the increase in numbers. The open rodeo today at 1 p.m. is $10 for adults and $5 for seniors, military, law enforcement officers and kids 6 to 12. Kids under 5 get in free. Proceeds of the rodeo benefit the Students in Transition Program for homeless children and youth. Fowler remembers back in 1976 when there weren’t as many rodeos, and the ones that did exist were mostly about adults, points and money. “It’s awesome,” she said. “It’s the next generation taking over. We’re all about kids. They’re our future.” Fowler said the rodeo grounds are used for more than the big rodeos. There also are horse shows, 4-H Club, pony club, open riding and nights for things like team roping and cattle work.
“We’ve got three months to play, and we play hard,” she said. Another prime example of the strong pull of family in rodeo comes from Corey Wilkinson of Lucky Horse Ranch, which is family owned and sits on 52 acres near Soldotna. The ranch started in 2007 and began boarding horses in 2008, growing from three horses then to 28 today. In 2011, the ranch took another step forward when Wilkinson spent time in Arizona. Alaska rodeo was all she’d known and she was amazed by the competition, coaching and safe practices down there. “Arizona was a different world,” she said. That has led to Wilkinson coaching kids. “A lot of parents don’t know where to go if their child wants to ride horses,” Wilkinson said. Connie Green of Alaska C & C Horse Adventures, also located near Soldotna, has also given horsemanship in the area a boost by coaching riders of all ages. She has 14 horses on her 20acre ranch and has a yearround riding area that is 30

before Arcia connected with two outs off Alex McRae (0-1) for his first multi-homer game in the majors. Earlier, Arcia hit a two-run homer in the second. Starling Marte had four hits for Pittsburgh, including a three-run homer in the eighth for a 10-8 lead. Keston Hiura hit a tying, two-run homer with one out in the Milwaukee ninth. Christian Yelich hit his major league-leading 22nd homer, tripled and drove in four runs for Milwaukee.
INDIANS 5, WHITE SOX 2 CHICAGO — Carlos Santana and Leonys Martin homered and Cleveland took advantage of a blunder on the bases to end Chicago’s five-game streak. The Indians climbed back to .500 and prevented the White Sox from reaching the break-even mark for the first time since April 5. Chicago loaded the bases with no outs in the third on a single by Tim Anderson and walks to Yolmer Sanchez and Charlie Tilson. Leury Garcia hit a sacrifice fly for a 1-0 lead, but pitcher Jefry Rodriguez escaped further damage when he caught Sanchez off second on pickoff attempt. Sanchez got caught in a rundown and was tagged out by third baseman Jose Ramirez, who then threw over to
by 72. A horse requires a lot of land, money and knowledge. Getting a horse, only to have the child lose interest after three months, isn’t good for the child, parent or horse. Wilkinson and Green allow them to dip their toes in the water first. Well, that’s if you consider spending five or six days a week with the horse dipping a toe in the water, which is what Wilkinson said her students do. The commitment is year-round now thanks to a 85-by-220-foot indoor riding area at Lucky Horse Ranch that became fully operational last winter. “We’re trying to get rodeo to come back,” Wilkinson said. “It comes in waves. It skips some generations, but now we’ve got the next wave of kids.” The pull of family that rodeo exerts became evident again two years ago, when Lucky Horse Ranch started partnering with Kenai Kids Therapy to use hippotherapy to work with specialneeds children. Wilkinson said the partnership came about after meeting Lisa Reischach of Kenai Kids Therapy at church.

“We see 25 kids a week, and we have a waiting list of over 30 kids,” Wilkinson said. She said it has been inspiring the way the rodeo community has stepped up to support the hippotherapy. She said her rodeo students love helping with the therapy. Same with the adults. “I’m just shocked,” Wilkinson said. “Every week, if I need two or three volunteers, I’ll just post it and they always come.”

Save the bees (and time and money) by creating a bee lawn Flowering “bee lawns” that attract pollinators are a compromise between fastidious turf management and the more casual yard approach. They add biodiversity to the landscape and need less maintenance. That makes them cost-effective, too. Bee lawns are turf grasses blended with low-growing perennials that bloom again after mowing. They’re cared for like typical lawns, making them comfortable for playing and lounging. But they also contain proteinrich ingredients providing vital nutrients for foraging pollinators. Their natural diversity — they might contain fine fescues mixed with such spontaneous plants as white clover, dandelions (that bloom early when little else is flowering), creeping thyme, daisies and shade-tolerant lamium — make them less demanding and more resilient than Kentucky bluegrass. Bee lawns require minimal watering and little fertilizing, encourage deeper roots and build healthier soil — especially when their clippings are returned to the turf. James Wolfin, a graduate research assistant working on the University of Minnesota’s bee lawn project, suggests using the fescue Festuca brevipila. “This grass has a thin leaf blade and a slow rate of growth,” Wolfin said. “The slow rate of growth is essential in making sure the grass blades do not create a canopy over the flowers.” Hand weeding is recommended. For people who feel they don’t have the time, money or talent for gardening, bee lawns mean “we can mow our lawns less frequently, let the lawn flowers grow and provide habitat for bees,” said Susannah Lerman, a research ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service Northern Research Station in Amherst, Massachusetts. “Everyone can contribute to this simple solution for advancing bee conservation.” Bee populations have been crashing for the past couple of decades because of habitat loss, chemical use and parasitic mites. These collapses are particularly worrisome since pollinators are instrumental in the growth of more than a third of the food making it to our tables. Every pollinator plant helps rebuild those insect stocks, even if it’s just part of a colorful arrangement on a corner of the property. Sunny slopes, rocky ground, boulevards, athletic fields and golf courses are optimal locations. “Also, office parks could benefit from bee lawns, particularly since they have very low human traffic,” Lerman said. Check, though, with your neighbours and city hall before doing any lawn-alternative landscaping. “It shouldn’t be too much of a hassle to get your community on board with bee lawns,” Wolfin said. “In terms of dealing with neighbours, sometimes it can be useful to install a row or strip of rocks or wood chips along your fence line to hinder the ability of flowers to spread to your neighbour’s lawn.” Signage also helps, he said. Monitor growth regularly to ensure you’re not introducing invasive weeds or creating a tall, unsightly yard. Mowing to about 3 inches is a good rule to follow. “The two-week mowing regime supported the highest abundance of bees,” Lerman said, citing data from a recent turf study in Springfield, Massachusetts. “We documented 111 species of bee (mostly native species and the majority wild bees) using the lawn flowers in western Massachusetts suburban yards,” she said. Bee lawns are compatible with family activities unless you run into aggressive colonies of ground-dwelling yellow jackets. Honeybees, wild bees and bumblebees usually are docile unless provoked.

RIGHT AT HOME: Nautical decor with modern panache

Designers are playing with the idea of nautical decor in new ways, with furnishings and style notes that say “classic contemporary” instead of “kitschy cute.” There might be life preservers on the wall, but they’re probably vintage, and paired with modern chairs. There might be art, but instead of the usual beachy tableaux, there are close-up wave prints, or oversize photos of sea creatures. It’s a look that still pays homage to a home’s waterside location — actual or aspirational — but in a stylish way. New York designer Ghislaine Vinas recently did a project out in the sandy seaside enclave of Montauk, New York. A fresh palette of white and blue was accented with Vinas’ signature punches of bright orange, green and yellow. Beachchair-style stripes of colour adorn furniture pieces and shower tile. Porthole-style mirrors in various iterations anchor bathroom vanities. And scattered throughout the home are nautical references given a playful spin. For example, in the open plan living area, Vinas hung a group of white sphere light fixtures suspended in blue netting they look like boat buoys. Blues ranging in intensity from sky to pool to navy were used in textiles and rugs throughout the house. And there’s loads of lively art, from photoprints of giant waves to San Francisco artist Rex Ray’s groovy surfboard wallpaper, as well as a group of whimsical, painted shark heads from California ceramicist Lorien Stern. “For this Montauk proj-

ect, the client’s roots are strong in Florida, and she has fond memories of time spent on the beach in the 1970s,” Vinas says. “So we adopted a super tongue-incheek esthetic and mixed it in with a classic but cool Hamptons beach vibe.” That mashup led her team to dub the home “Floritauk”, a name the client liked so much that it stuck. Vinas also introduced tasty citrus hues like lime, orange and lemon to the decor. “We loved this homage to Floridian agriculture, and decoupaged a vintage dresser with fruit cut-outs,” she says. While Vinas went for a playful seaside vibe, Minneapolis-based designer Raena Albers opted for something a little more serene in one of her recent projects. “My clients moved to Minnesota from the Pacific Northwest, and have a huge affinity for sailing,”
she says. Albers referenced that coast’s moody palette of sand, mist and ocean in the furniture and accessories. A smart little model sailboat graces a mantel, while a gallery wall of white-framed, watercolour seabird prints adds interest in a family seating area. Wal-mart and Wayfair have several well-priced options if you’re looking for a rope-trimmed table lamp some have the rope wrapping a base, while on others the rope itself is the lamp base. At Ballard Designs , there’s a mirror framed in faux white coral that would make a statement it’s available in wall-mountable and floor sizes. Suzanne Kasler’s bold, graphic nautical flags come framed in natural wood. Salvaged wood from Thai fishing boats is used to make interesting lamp bases in several sizes at Continen-
tal Home . There are floor and table lamps made of gathered driftwood here, as well. Cle Tile carries British artist Boris Aldridge’s Ocean, Tide Pool and Water tiles, part of his handmade porcelain and poured-glass collection in an array of deep, liquid blues. Water sparkling on the bay inspired San Francisco designer Erica Tanov’s Shimmer collection for Cle. Each tile is crafted in Northern California of solid brass, and when arranged on a wall they do resemble sunlit water — or mermaid’s scales. If you like the idea of a siren’s song on the wall but don’t want to go with tile, consider designer Genevieve Gorder’s Pearl Belly repositionable and removable wallpaper at Tempaper . A dreamy, iridescent finish brings both mermaids and shells to mind.
Can a business owner require staffers to get vaccinated? By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer
NEW YORK — Small business owners worried about the spread of measles may want to be sure their staffers have been vaccinated, but before issuing any orders, they should speak with a labor law attorney or human resources consultant. An employer generally is prohibited from requiring employees to undergo medical procedures including vaccinations under the Americans with Disabilities Act; a company that tries to force staffers to be vaccinated can find itself being sued by angry workers. But there can be exceptions, especially in places where there’s a measles outbreak or where govern-
ment officials have ordered vaccinations to protect the public’s health. If an employer is sued for requiring vaccinations, or even firing a staffer who refuses to be vaccinated, a court is likely to defer to the judgment of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health officials, says Howard Mavity, an employment law attorney with Fisher Phillips in Atlanta. And the CDC, which has identified nearly 900 measles cases in nearly half the states, has declared outbreaks in parts of New York state and California, and in Michigan, Georgia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington state. The CDC considers three or more cases to be an outbreak. The CDC calls measles

highly contagious — so much so that if one person has it, up to 90% of those around them will also get
it unless they are not protected. It can have serious complications including neurological problems and
blindness. The disease was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, but the number of cases has been rising. Owners who want their staffers vaccinated against measles are on the strongest ground in places where there are known outbreaks, Mavity says. “They have a decent chance of prevailing” in the case of a lawsuit, he says. But Mavity says judges’ decisions would rest on the facts of an individual case. What isn’t clear is whether a staffer who claims an exemption under law from required vaccinations because of religious or health grounds can be disciplined or fired for not getting a measles shot. Owners are best advised not to make any requirements about vaccinations,
or take any action against employees, without getting legal advice first. Companies should also know that they may not have the same protection when it comes to annual influenza vaccinations as they might have with measles. But health care companies where workers are in contact with patients may have more power to require vaccinations. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in December upheld the right of a health care company to fire a staffer who refused to be vaccinated against rubella. At health care companies, management might decide to require unvaccinated staffers to wear masks or work in jobs where they don’t have contact with patients.

Five reasons to keep renting your home By KELSEY SHEEHY NerdWallet
You have a stable job and a solid nest egg. Time to buy a home, right? Not necessarily. Although homeownership can offer financial benefits like equity, appreciation and tax deductions, there may still be good reasons to keep renting even when you can afford to buy, including more mobility and financial flexibility. “It’s really just not as cut and dried as the famous ‘throwing money away on rent,’ especially if renting is buying you something you value, such as flexibility or consistency in terms of cost of living,” says Charlie Bolognino, a certified financial planner at Side-by-Side Financial Planning LLC in Plymouth, Minnesota. Here are five reasons renting might make sense for you.
YOU WANT FLEXIBILITY Buying a home could easily tie you to a place for years, if not decades. You can always sell, of course, but there are associated costs — and you could lose money if you sell too soon or are forced to sell in a down market. Renting, on the other hand, gives you more freedom to relocate as desired.
Sure, you have a lease to consider, but those typically last just 12 months, and you may have the option to sublet if you can find a new tenant. So you can more easily jump at a career opportunity across the country or simply try a different neighborhood on for size. That level of flexibility can also provide relief if your financial situation changes. “When you’re renting, you have a light at the end of the tunnel where, if you’re stretched thinner than you thought you would be, you can pick up and move when your lease is up,” says Kelly Ennis, a certified financial planner and founder of Infinity Financial Strategies LLC in Granby, Connecticut. “With a house, you have to pay it off or sell it, and hope you get at least as much as you paid or enough to cover your mortgage.”
YOU DON’T HAVE TIME FOR MAINTENANCE Homeownership is work. Yardwork. Housework. Maintenance work. All of that can be a drain. “Owning your own property just takes more time,” says Kenny Kline, an entrepreneur in Brooklyn, New York. “Dealing with maintenance, the co-op board, the occasional construction
project all takes more time and stress than you realize.” Kline previously owned a home, but went back to renting and has “never looked back,” he says. “Now, I live in a well-managed apartment building, and all of that is taken care of for me.”
YOU CRAVE AMENITIES Renting can give you access to perks like an on-site gym or a rooftop swimming pool. But some buildings go well beyond the basics, offering next-level amenities, says Sophie Morrison, a real estate broker in downtown Chicago. “We’re seeing things like bowling alleys, boxing rings, golf simulators, massage rooms, salt saunas, basketball courts, movie theaters, recording studios and wine cellars,” Morrison says, noting that many of her clients can afford to buy but choose to rent in part because of the amenities new buildings offer. “These luxuries are significantly more common in rental buildings than condos.”
YOU LIKE FINANCIAL PREDICTABILITY Average rents in a city may fluctuate, but once you sign a lease, your rent is fixed for the duration of the

lease, if not beyond. The same cannot always be said for homeownership. Yes, your mortgage payments remain stable, but maintenance costs can be unpredictable. Property taxes can also fluctuate, and not just because your home value increases. Cities can impose higher property tax rates, and federal laws can change (and have changed) how much you can deduct from your taxes. Buying a home comes with a lot more upfront costs, too. First, there’s the down payment, which might be anywhere from 5% to 20% of the home
price. Then, there’s closing costs. On a $300,000 home, you could pay as much as $15,000 in closing costs. All of that can leave you feeling cash poor. So it’s not surprising that 34% of first-time U.S. homebuyers said they no longer felt financially secure after purchasing their current home, according to a survey conducted this year by The Harris Poll for NerdWallet.
YOU HAVE A GOOD THING GOING Another great reason to keep renting? You love where you live.
If you have a great house or apartment with a reliable landlord and below-market rent, follow the adage: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” You aren’t throwing money away by renting. In fact, you may be saving money if you live in a city where renting is cheaper than owning a home . “Everyone needs a place to hang their hat, but there’s no law that says you need to own that place,” Bolognino says. “Find a place that meets your needs, that provides you flexibility or value or piece of mind.”
Who gets to give dietary advice? Health coach fights law

NEW YORK — In California, Heather Del Castillo offered tips on natural eating as a health coach. But in Florida, the title didn’t qualify her to give nutrition advice. After getting a complaint that she was working without a license, Florida officials sent a cease-and-desist order and fined her $750. Del Castillo sued, saying her free speech rights were violated. Now, a federal court
is expected to rule on her lawsuit as other states weigh regulations on professional dietary advice. The case highlights the confusion around dietitians and health coaches, and how their qualifications differ. “I literally didn’t even know I was doing anything that was wrong,” said Del Castillo, who noted her business was legal when she was living in California. Health coaches like Del Castillo can get certificates from a variety
of programs, but the title doesn’t have a consistent meaning and anyone can use it. Many say they can give clients advice on how to achieve their health goals through lifestyle changes. Registered dietitians complete months of supervised practice, pass a national exam and take continuing education courses — requirements that are echoed in the licensing laws of states that have them. While they too can help people meet health goals, dietitians say they
also have the qualifications to advise patients managing chronic diseases or other medical problems. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, which represents registered dietitians, says Del Castillo’s lawsuit poses a threat to other licensing laws that protect public health, such as those for doctors. It notes that it supports dietary licensing laws only for advice on medical conditions, such as diabetes and obesity. “If they’re talking about wellness and general nutrition, that would not be affected,” said Pepin Tuma, an academy spokesman. The Institute for Justice, a free market group that took up Del Castillo’s case, has for years challenged professional licensing requirements and says dietary advice should be protected as free speech, regardless of the context. It says advice about food and health is ubiquitous and that Florida’s law gives a monopoly to select individuals. State laws vary. A few have no rules, while others require licenses only if people want to use titles such as “dietitian” or “nutritionist.” Florida restricts the dietary practice more broadly to licensed individuals.

Staying mentally fresh during the work day Energy levels tend to ebb and flow throughout a typical workday. A cup of coffee may provide some caffeine-infused spark in the morning, but a big lunch can squash energy later in the afternoon. Waning mental sharpness as the workday progresses can compromise productivity, making it more difficult for workers to complete projects on time. That, in turn, can contribute to stress. In fact, in its “2017 Stress in America” survey, the American Psychological Association found that 58 percent of Americans say work is a significant source of stress. Staying mentally fresh during a workday can pay a host of benefits, and the following are just a few ways to maintain mental focus until quitting time. • Exercise regularly. The physical benefits of routine exercise are well document-
ed. But even the most ardent fitness enthusiasts may not realize just how big an impact physical activity is having on their brains. The Harvard Medical School notes that exercise stimulates regions of the brain that release a chemical called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, which rewires memory circuits so they can function better. A stronger memory can help workers recall project details and deadlines more easily, even as the workday draws to a close. • Avoid the “quick fix.” Relying on a beverage or snack to provide a quick mental boost may end up compromising your mental sharpness. Foods and beverages that are high in sugar may provide an immediate energy boost, but that spike is almost instantly followed by a crash that can adversely affect your mental sharpness.
Stick to healthy snacks, such as fruits and vegetables, and avoid late afternoon cups of coffee, which studies have shown make it harder to fall asleep at night, thereby compromising your energy levels the next day. • Take a walk outdoors. Spending some time outdoors during a lunch break, or even a quick, post-lunch stroll around the office grounds, can provide a break for the brain. That break can help the brain refocus, improving productivity as a result. One great way to get outdoors during busy workdays is to conduct meetings outside when the weather permits. This gives everyone a chance to recharge their brains in the great outdoors, and few people would prefer a dusty conference room to a nearby park or picnic area outdoors. Various strategies can help working professionals
maintain their mental sharpness throughout the workday.
law professor, said licensing laws would be most legally defensible in fields where there’s real potential danger people could be hurt. She said licensing would be harder to defend for florists or interior decorators, but noted it’s plausible that bad dietary advice can cause harm. In court filings, Florida said its law protects people from incompetent advice. It said Del Castillo did not have the qualifications to obtain a dietary license but got a certificate as a “holistic health coach” from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, an online school. Darrell Rogers, a school spokesman, said laws like the one in Florida are outdated and that it’s rare for health coaches to face fines. The school helped connect Del Castillo with the Institute for Justice. Del Castillo’s case also touches on disagreements about nutrition. Del Castillo is a trainer for Crossfit, which is known for high-intensity workouts and has been critical of the dietetics field. The company has fought licensing laws for fitness trainers and says it will fight any attempts at new or stricter dietary licensing laws that could prevent its trainers from giving nutrition advice. It has donated to the Institute for Justice for Del Castillo’s case.
Laura Boll-Peifer, a health coach in New Jersey, has a more moderate view. Like many other health coaches, she said her specialty is helping people achieve the goals they set for themselves and that dietitians are better suited to handle medical conditions like eating disorders or high cholesterol. But she was reluctant about introducing a dietary licensing law in her state. “It’s just so hard to know where to draw the lines,” she said. The National Board for Health & Wellness Coaches recently launched a certification exam for health coaches to bring more consistency to the field. In the meantime, states may contemplate new or updated rules on dietary advice. After a separate challenge by the Institute for Justice, North Carolina had clarified its dietary licensing law. Last year, the state also narrowed the scope of the law to require licenses only for medical conditions. But that might not settle all questions. Charla Burill, executive director of North Carolina’s dietetics board, noted that someone who’s obese might get help for a medical condition, or for general diet tips. “Obesity could be a gray area,” she said.

A class of great IDEAs
it is W ill M orrow
Class of 2019, it’s time to tell your own stories Last month, I had the opportunity to help out with Kenai Central High School’s after-grad party. I use the word “opportunity” the same way your boss does when he’s trying to convince you to take on an extra assignment or additional responsibility. Volunteers were needed, I let slip that I was taking the next day off from work, and next thing I knew, I was signed up to help out from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. after Kenai’s graduation. In all honesty, it wasn’t bad at all — it was one more chance to see all the kids together, many of whom I’ve know since their preschool days. It is great to see those kids all grown up and excited about the next step in their journeys, whatever it may be. Graduation is also a time to be a little nostalgic, and I felt a little bit reassured that, as much as they’ve grown up and matured, they’re still the same kids at heart that I’ve always known. Case in point, the young man who couldn’t seem to help himself from knocking the puck into his own goal on the air hockey table was the same one who, at a laser tag birthday party 10 or so years ago, ran around shooting himself instead of the other team. The more things change, right? The after-grad party was also an opportunity to reminisce with some of the parents I’ve known since my son’s preschool days. One parent remembered coaching Billy in Boys and Girls Club basketball, where he was nicknamed “The Wall.” Other members of that team went on to some pretty impressive high school careers. Billy’s greatest asset was that he was big and immovable; it is a skill that ended up serving him well on the high school football team. I’ve shared so many stories about Billy in this column over the years. I think it started with the two Peninsula Oilers baseball players who helped with Billy’s potty training. There was his magic disappearing shirt in kindergarten, our “Star Wars” fandom, and numerous family adventures, from connecting with our nation’s history in Washington, D.C., to zip-lining in Hawaii, to winter holidays at a Chugach National Forest public-use cabin. There’s been the frustrations of raising a son, too — resorting to singing Barry Manilow songs to get him out of bed and losing a set of skis randomly placed on top of the car, for example. And did I ever mention the time he dislocated three of my ribs with his forehead? For all the stories I’ve shared, there’s been so many more that I’ve kept to myself. I’ve watched Billy go through the trials and tribulations I remember from being a teenager, but some of those things you just need to be able to work through on your own, without your dad putting it in the local paper. Now it’s time for Billy to start writing his own stories. He did well in high school. He finished with really good grades, made some great friends, and even earned some really nice scholarships. He knows where he wants to go next year, and what he wants to study — which is much more than I could say when I finished high school. In fact, my major was “undecided” until the middle of my senior year of college, and even then, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be when I grew up — but that’s another story. So, congratulations to the Class of 2019 as you embark on your next adventure. I can’t wait to hear the stories! Will Morrow lives in Kenai. Email him at wkmorrow@ptialaska.net.

Rather than allowing a problem to rear its ugly head, try to resolve a potential difference of opinion or accept the power of different perspectives. Tonight: A loved one seems to be changing right in front of you. This Week: Touch base with a pal. This person will help you get one step closer to a goal. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Reach out for family and friends at a distance. You will discover quickly that you have missed out on some news. A potential trip could be in the offing. Know what you want and where you are heading. Tonight: Make merry. Forget tomorrow is Monday. This Week: Peculiar events mark the next few days. You understand where others are coming from. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Relate on a one-on-one level with others. They might be flattered by all the attention. You will open up to a dear friend and want to discuss certain issues. The caring between you and the other party is a given. Tonight: Be a duo.

Dear Readers: Summer’s underway, and June is PET PREPAREDNESS MONTH. Do you have a disaster plan for your pets? You’ll need to put together a pet emergency kit. What should you include? Let’s take a look: * Water and bowl, food, a toy, leash and/or carrier and meds. * Photo of the animal and history of vaccinations. * First-aid kit: Gauze bandages and hydrogen peroxide. Some other things to consider: * Pet tags should be up to date and secure on the collar. * Do you have your pet microchipped? A computer chip the size of a grain of rice can reunite you with your pet if it gets lost. * Make sure your neighbors know what pets you have. Notes about your animal’s behavior are helpful. * Have the phone number to your veterinarian programmed into your phone.

I have been with my girlfriend, “Wanda,” for six years, and we now have a daughter together. The issue I have is, last year, Father’s Day came and went, and Wanda didn’t acknowledge it. I didn’t even hear a “Happy Father’s Day” from her or my youngest child. (My ex-wife acknowledged me.)

Sea turtles
Terrific Turtles
Sea turtles may live about 150 years. As soon as baby sea turtles hatch on a beach, they crawl to the sea and stay there for years. Males may stay in the water for 20 years before coming back to a beach even to sun themselves. Females return to the beach where they were born to lay eggs. Some species, or kinds, of sea turtles stay near the shore. But others swim out into the deep ocean. Sea turtles are usually found in warmer ocean waters. Big groups with thousands of turtles may spend hours floating on the surface of the water, sunning themselves.
Mini Fact: Sea turtles’ front limbs have claws to help them pull food apart. photo by Mike Aguilera/SeaWorld San Diego
Let’s talk turtles! It’s fun to watch these creatures on land and in the water. The Mini Page takes a look at some of the things we know about these fascinating animals.
can pull their heads in, but sea turtles can’t pull their heads in at all.
Tortoises:
Turtles are reptiles, a group of animals including crocodiles, tortoises, snakes and lizards. Reptiles: • are cold-blooded, which means their body temperature matches the temperature of the air around them; • have scaly skin; • breathe air with lungs; • produce eggs. Turtles are known for the shells protecting their bodies. Their shells are part of their skeletons, or their framework of bones. Most shells are made of bone covered by hard plates, or scutes. (“Scute” rhymes with “cute.”) The leatherback turtle has a softer shell that is more leathery than bony. Turtles have been on Earth for more than 245 million years! They shared the planet with dinosaurs.
Turtle or tortoise?
Tortoises are a type of turtle. People are often confused about which is which. Here are some of the differences:
Turtles:
• live mostly in or near water and are great swimmers; • may not be able to pull their heads and limbs all the way into their shells. Land turtles
Turtles in trouble

What are turtles?
• live only on land, and would probably sink in water; • can pull their heads and limbs all the way into their shells for protection.
Almost all species of sea turtles are endangered. Many freshwater turtles are also in trouble. Some of the biggest dangers to sea turtles include: • people killing turtles for their meat, skin or shells; • fishing nets; • plastic grocery bags. These look like jellyfish when they float in the water. But when the turtles eat them, the bags stay in their stomachs and kill them. • hotels and homes on beaches where the turtles need to lay their eggs; • bright artificial lights that confuse the turtles so moms won’t come ashore, or newly hatched babies can’t find the sea.
Tortoises have limbs that are like thick tree stumps. This desert tortoise uses its powerful limbs to dig holes, or burrows, in the sand or soil.
Designed for swimming
Turtles are strong swimmers. Besides having limbs shaped like flippers and paddles, their shells also are designed to help them move through the water. If you look at a turtle from the side, you can see it is shaped like an airplane wing. There is a high point in the front, and it curves to the back. This allows the water current to sweep over them quickly. Freshwater turtles live near bodies of water such as ponds or lakes. They do not spend much time on land, although they do come onto land to sun themselves. Although turtles can swim long distances, they don’t go very fast. They may average about 2 miles per hour, with bursts of 5 to 10 miles per hour.

Eco Note The air you breathe used to be an ocean breeze. The water you drink was once in a cloud over the ocean. Human-caused climate change is warming our planet, and the oceans are feeling the heat. Plants and animals in the ocean ecosystem are sensitive to changes in the ocean’s temperature. Some organisms can adapt to the change, but others can’t survive the warmer temperatures. Learn more here: climatekids.nasa.gov/ocean

June, the radiant month M onthly M usings B onnie M arie P layle
June is the sixth month, and is called the sunny month and its symbols are bright and radiant. FACTS: Astrological signs: Gemini and Cancer; Birthstones: pearl, alexandrite and moonstone; Colors: light blue, white and cream; Flowers: rose and honeysuckle; Bird: dove; Animal: bull; Trees: ash, hornbeam, fig, birch and apple; Days Observed: Flag Day, Father’s Day, Juneteenth and Summer Solstice. Gemini is the third sign in the zodiac; its symbol is the Twins and the element is Air. Gemini people tend to be intellectually inclined, bright, quick-witted and the life of the party. Cancer is the fourth sign in the zodiac; its symbol is the crab and the element is water. Cancer people are “roots” kind of people and take great pleasure in the comforts of home and family. They’re maternal, domestic and love to nurture others. Water signs are intuitive, sensitive, emotional and nurturing; their feelings run deep. June is one of two months that have three birthstones. The pearl symbolizes purity. Greeks believed that pearls were hardened tears of joy from Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Alexandrite symbolizes luck, good fortune, love; it strengthens intuition, creativity and imagination. A stone of all around good omen. The moonstone is calming and soothing of emotions. This gem is believed to bring a long and healthy life; it’s believed to be hardened moonlight. This stone can be used for healing. It improves hormonal and digestive systems and balances metabolic processes. Light blue, white and cream are the colors for June. Light blue symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth and heaven. Blue
produces a calming effect, while white is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity and virginity, also, safety and cleanliness. It’s the color of perfection and cream is a neutral, relaxing, calming color with an understated elegance. June’s flowers are rose, which symbolizes balance, expressing promise, hope and new beginning, and honeysuckle, which symbolizes happiness. The bird for June is the dove — symbolizing love, peace or as messengers. The animal for June is the bull, which symbolizes strong-willed, uncompromising nature and even belligerence. It’s also a sign of virility in men and fertility in women and passion. It could be a sign of riches and wealth. June 1-3 is the ash, which is sacrifice, sensitivity and high awareness. June 4-13 is the hornbeam, which relieves tiredness and exhaustion. It’s believed to stop bleeding and heal wounds. June 14-23 is the fig, symbolizing spiritual awakening and fertility. It’s believed to be an emblem of wisdom, learning and the moon. June 24 is the birch, which is the symbol of new beginnings, regeneration, hope, new dawns and the promise of what is to come. June 25-30 is the apple — symbolizing knowledge, immortality, temptation and the fall of man and sin. The first day observed in June is Flag Day, which commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which was made by Betsy Ross. This happened on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The second day observed is Father’s Day, honoring fatherhood, paternal bonds and the influence of fathers in society. This celebration was inaugurated in the early 20th century. The first observance was held on July 5, 1908 in Fairmont, West Virginia. It was changed to June because of July 4th being Independence Day. The
establishment of this holiday was on June 19, 1910 as the First Father’s Day. The Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States in 1865. The last day observed is Summer Solstice, also known as midsummer and occurs when a planet’s rotational axis, in either northern or southern hemispheres, is most inclined toward the star that it orbits. This is the northern solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the southern solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. This time marks the longest day of the year. June is the sixth month of the year meaning “sacred to Juno” — the Roman goddess. Juno is the Roman counterpart to the Greek goddess Hera, who is the patron goddess of Rome. She is shown alternately as a cruel goddess and the goddess of marriage and childbirth. She’s the wife and sister of Jupiter. People born in June under Gemini are ruled by the planet Mercury, which is associated with youth. These individuals exhibit childlike traits; they’re cheerful, restless and full of life, very intelligent and extremely inquisitive in nature. Those born under the zodiac sign Cancer can often be moody and sensitive. June 1-30 is the Seward Alaska Halibut Tournament.

Keaton touts herself as a comic book nerd, lover of ‘80s hair metal, and a self-proclaimed giraffe fanatic. “Anyone who know me or is ever around me knows that,” she said. “I only have 19 giraffe or giraffe-related items on my desk.” And until the world figures out how to make the giraffe a perfect pet, Keaton has the next best thing. “I have three furry balls of insanity that masquerade as cats, Hobo, Pewter and Priya,” she said. She also is a yarn hoarder. “I crochet … a lot,” she said. “I need all of the yarn so I can crochet all of the things.”
Keaton also works on projects that give back. “Every July, my friends and I organize a benefit concert in Hollywood at the Whisky a Go Go,” she said. This year, her group, Cruefest Hollywood, is celebrating its 18th annual event, each of which raise money for cancer charities in memorial of Motley Crue’s singer Vince Neil’s daughter Skylar. Skylar lost her battle with cancer at age four. For the past several years, the group has worked with Letty’s Angels of Hope in Texas. “I am passionate about what we do through Cruefest Hollywood. Donating and giving back is a big part of who I am and getting to do that with friends is amazing,” Keaton said.
