Vandals burn dugout, toilets at Wasilla softball field ANCHORAGE — A dugout and portable outhouses were burned at a softball field in Wasilla. Anchorage television station KTUU reports the damage occurred Monday afternoon and forced cancellation of games planned at the field, which is part of the Bumpus Ballfields. Mat-Su Softball Association director Greg DeArmond says the field and toilets had been serviced earlier in the afternoon. It's the fourth year of damage at Wasilla athletic fields. Vandals in May 2018 caused damaged to the field and equipment of Wasilla's American Legion baseball team. Vandals broke into a locked storage building, damaged a riding lawnmower and threw gear around the field in rain. — Associated Press
Correction The article, “District resignations and retirements highest recorded,” published in the Sunday edition of the Clarion, incorrectly stated that out of the 86 certified staff and administrators leaving, 37 of those had been with the district longer than 15 years. Twenty four certified staff and administrators who are leaving have served the district longer than 15 years. The Clarion regrets the error.

The new culvert will allow fish, including spawning salmon, to cross under the road to reach habitat upstream from the road.
Anchor Point gravel pit vote postponed Swan Lake Fire grows
By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
A meeting discussing a controversial gravel pit lasted to nearly midnight Monday, after dozens of Anchor Point residents gave public testimony on the proposed project. Residents left the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, held at the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly chambers, without a final decision. The commission voted to postpone deliberations. A final vote regarding Emmitt Trimble’s Beachcomber LLC application will be taken June 24. See PIT, page A16

A peninsula wildfire sparked by lightning last Wednesday has reached 2,400 acres in size — or about 4 square miles. The Swan Lake Fire is about 70% active and is spreading from both the head of the fire as well as flanking outward from the side, Public Information Officer Andy Alexandrau with the Division of Forestry said. The fire is located about Residents filled the Kenai Peninsula Borough Betty J.

Alexandrau said that Swan Lake is one of nine active wildfires on the peninsula, with two caused by human activity and the other seven caused by lightning. Alexandrau said that this year has already seen an unusually high number of lightning-caused fires. The vast majority of fires on the peninsula — over 90% — are caused by human activity every year. “It’s very unusual to have lightning at all on the peninsula,” Alexandrau said. The fires have prompted the Division of Forestry to issue a smoke advisory warning for the Sterling Highway from Mile 65 to Mile 70 between Sterling Rep.

When the Alaska Senate couldn’t agree on an amount for this year’s Alaska Permanent Fund dividend, it affected more than just the Senate. Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, said in an interview Tuesday that House members were planning on getting a dividend bill from the Senate and then changing it. “Many of us thought that a bill from the Senate was going to come over in some type of fashion, and it did not,” Wilson said. “It See PFD, page A2
Photos on murder suspect’s phone lead to new charges By Dan Joling Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — Child pornography found on the cellphone of an Alaska murder suspect led to the arrest of an Indiana
man. Federal prosecutors on Tuesday released newly unsealed documents and announced the arrest of Darin Schilmiller, 21, of New Salisbury, Indiana. He is charged with pro-
duction of visual depiction of minors in sexually explicit conduct and attempted receipt of those depictions. Online court records do not list his attorney who could comment on the
case. In a criminal complaint, FBI Agent Jessica Hais said Schilmiller directed the recording of sexually exploited girls by Denali Brehmer, 18, of Anchorage.
Brehmer is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Cynthia “CeeCee” Hoffman. Hoffman was killed June 2 near a rural Anchorage trail. Police found See NEW, page A3

changed, ‘Where do we go from here?’” Some might seek to find the answer to that question Wednesday, as the House makes amendments to the state’s capital budget. The capital budget, which appropriates money mostly for construction and repair projects throughout the state, will go to the House floor Wednesday for a vote. The $1.4 billion budget mostly includes money for infrastructure such as highways. Wilson said “would almost bet on” someone proposing an amendment to somehow fit a PFD into the capital budget bill, Senate Bill 19. This is the last bill dealing with appropriations to come before the Legislature this session, she said, so this is the last time someone could propose PFD funding. It’s not clear who might propose an amendment or what it could look like. Wilson said negotiations about the dividend could fit into getting members of the Minority to vote for the budget. The House needs a 3/4 majority to pass the bill because it draws $162 million from the Constitutional Budget Reserve — an account that requires a 3/4 majority for the Legislature to use money from it. As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, Wilson said there weren’t enough votes to pass the bill. During Tuesday’s House Finance Committee meeting, Reps. Colleen Sullivan-Leonard, Cathy Tilton and Ben Carpenter (all members of the House Minority) voted against the capital budget in its current form. Carpenter had a laundry list of complaints. “I object to a whole number of things so far,” Carpenter said in the meeting. “I don’t like taking a bunch of money out of the

CBR, I don’t like writing blank checks for addiction treatment without some plan. There needs to be some more information gathered to make a good decision here and probably amend, which we’re not going to have time to do today.” The addiction treatment funding is one of the key parts of the bill. The bill includes $12 million for construction of addiction treatment facilities throughout the state, though the projects have not been totally planned out yet. Wilson said getting treatment facilities up and going is a key part of reducing crime in the state, and many have agreed with that sentiment this session. The Legislature passed House Bill 49, a crime bill that increases sentences and will put more people in prison for longer, but there hasn’t been anything substantial done to address root causes including drug addiction. Wilson said the lack of treatment options has been an issue even since the passage of criminal justice reform bill Senate Bill 91. “Because we were
spending so much money (on incarceration), that’s why the addiction treatment area came first and foremost,” Wilson said. “How do we prevent some of these things from even happening? Treatment is definitely
something we think has been missing, even since we passed SB 91.” The House is scheduled to take the floor at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, where lawmakers can offer amendments and debate the bill.

The Coal Creek Fire northwest of Tustumena Lake is the only other fire currently being staffed, and a crew of 26 is working to suppress the fire from the ground and the air. Alexandrau said that the Coal Creek Fire was about 60% contained as of Monday night and is 1.3 acres in size. Crews are mainly working to clear the area of downed and dead trees that are the remnants of the 2014 Funny River Fire, which encompassed 67,00 acres, or roughly 104 square miles. Two human-caused fires were reported on Monday, and Alexandrau said that both were contained and controlled as of Tuesday morning. One was a small unattended campfire located behind the Hutchings Auto

starting Oct. 1 of this year, and proposing a $98 million overall cut in the system for the fiscal year. Southeast Conference Executive Director Robert Venables said in an interview Tuesday that there’s a feeling that the ferry cuts could have been much worse. “Our disappointment is tempered by the alternative that was presented in February by the governor,” Venables said. “How do you get excited about that ($38 million) number? You compare it to zero.” Dunleavy can still veto parts of the Legislature’s budget, so there’s still a possibility Dunleavy rejects the
Spa in Soldotna, and one was an unattended debris fire near the Duck Inn on Kalifornsky Beach Road. While there is currently no burn ban in effect on the peninsula, Alexandrau cautioned that since several peninsula waterways will be opened for sportfishing this week there will be increased traffic and congestion on the peninsula and potentially a higher risk for humancaused fires. “With everyone enjoying the summer and smoke conditions being what they are, it’s more important than ever to make sure barbecues and campfires are put out,” Alexandrau said. The interagency coordination website, which typically provides the latest info on fires from a number of agencies across Alaska, was down as of mid-afternoon Tuesday. Until the issue is resolved, people can call Alexandrau at 907-2604262 or Kenai Refuge Park Ranger Leah Eskelin at 907-252-9852 for the latest information on all the active wildfires on the peninsula. Legislature’s AMHS funding. In a quest to dramatically curb state spending, Dunleavy and those in his administration have identified the AMHS as an inefficient system that is costing the state too much money. Venables said in an interview Tuesday that it’s hard to predict just what those impacts will be without knowing what the ferry schedule will be this offseason.

Brehmer told police that she and Kayden McIntosh, 16, accompanied Hoffman to the popular trail and planned to take photos of each other tied up. At some point, police said, McIntosh took a gun from Brehmer, shot Hoffman and pushed her into the river. Brehmer and McIntosh then drove to a park, called Hoffman’s family and said they were dropping her off at the park, police said. They went to another park and burned
Hoffman’s purse and other items and the gun used in the shooting, police said. McIntosh is charged as an adult with first-degree murder and evidence tampering.

What others say
Democracy in China largely remains a mirage Thirty years ago, the world
watched in horror as Chinese troops cracked down brutally on peaceful protests by students who sought to give the Chinese people more say over their daily lives. The lingering image of the prodemocracy movement, though, was from the next day, when a lone, unarmed man stopped a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square. It was a symbol of courage, defiance and the power of an individual — sustained, perhaps, by the fact that he’s never been identified and his fate is unknown. To many in the West, the crackdown was but a death rattle of an authoritarian system on the wrong side of history. As the growing, liberalized Chinese economy spread prosperity across the country, and as the internet opened a window into free-world thought and culture, they believed the pressure for democracy and self-determination would become irresistible. In the three decades since then, the Chinese economy has, in fact, grown spectacularly, lifting tens of millions of people out of poverty and creating a strong middle class. But the technology that helped Chinese people to connect to one another in unprecedented ways also enabled Orwellian surveillance and propaganda operations that have helped cement the Chinese Communist Party’s autocratic grip on power. The Chinese government has also used concerns about terrorism as a pretext to enact cynical security laws that give it even more power to spy on online traffic, suppress dissent and block foreign nonprofits from assisting its critics. Meanwhile, by allowing some public pushback on the digital margins, tolerating small-scale online agitation for consumer protection or improvements in public works, the government pantomimes the accountability found in a democracy. True change remains a mirage. As a result, China’s pro-democracy movement seems to be sustained mainly by activists who’ve fled to safer shores. It’s telling that while we in the West can still see the “Tank Man” photos, watch the video and read about the incident, the Chinese government is trying to erase them from its people’s memory. But then, tanks are so 20th century. Today, the fist of Chinese oppression is best symbolized by the “reeducation” camps in Xinjiang province, roughly 2,000 miles west of Tiananmen Square, where the Chinese government has detained up to 2 million Muslims in an effort to combat alleged separatism and religious extremism among the native Uighurs. Not coincidentally, the province is a key outpost in China’s “Belt and Road” initiative that aims to increase China’s exports to and its influence over south Asia, Africa and Europe. We certainly hope that China’s growing prosperity and integration into global commerce will prove inimical to its authoritarian impulses. But the years since the Tiananmen Square protests have shown us that progress toward liberty and democracy is not inevitable. In China, the government sells “stability” as the guarantor of the economic growth that the public craves, when its real aim is to keep the forces of change at bay. — The Los Angeles Times, June 4

Why Americans are tired of impeachment talk A laska V oices R ich M oniak “What would it take for the you to support the impeachment of this president?” “As a U.S. senator,” Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, replied, “what I would do is follow the Constitution and if there was an articles of impeachment that originated in the House that came to U.S. Senate … I would obviously take that very very seriously.” That wasn’t Senator Sullivan speaking. It was Candidate Sullivan, replying to candidate Joe Miller who argued President Barack Obama should be impeached during a debate in August 2104. I was reminded of that exchange last week when Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson posed a similar question. “If the impeachment clause of the Constitution wasn’t written for a president like Trump, then why is it there?” he asked the day after Special Counsel Robert Mueller restated that he had not exonerated Trump on the question of obstruction of justice. Miller wasn’t out on a lonely ledge five years ago. Two years before that, a Republican in the House introduced a resolution that referred to Obama’s drone attacks Afghanistan and Pakistan as impeachable offenses. That attempt to remove a president from office didn’t go any further than the 35 articles of impeachment submitted by two Democratic congressmen in 2008. Among their charges against President George W. Bush was his justification and deci-
sion to invade Iraq and secretly authorizing the torture of enemy combatants. According to CNN/ORC International polling, both of those calls for impeachment had the support of about a third of the American public. And almost half believed both Obama and Bush had gone too far in expanding the power of the presidency. With those figures as a baseline, Trump really isn’t doing much worse. But what they really suggest is that in our divisive times, a third of the Americans will continue to believe impeaching the president will fix what’s wrong with our country. The Founders would be dismayed that there’s been such a constant chatter about such a serious matter. Of course, they couldn’t have anticipated the modern communications systems which make that possible. But what they didn’t foresee that would trouble them much more is how Congress has willfully acquiesced power to the presidency. Last week I wrote about how they’ve failed to uphold their war powers responsibilities. To that I can add trade, presidential signing statements and appropriations. The Constitution delegates to Congress the sole authority “to regulate commerce with foreign nations.” But about 85 years ago, they began passing legislation transferring some of the trade responsibility to the president. Hence, Trump was free to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, other allies, as well as on billions of dollars of Chinese imports. Congress has mostly ignored hundreds of presidential signing statements that express disagreement with their legislative direction. Trump has already signed more than Obama. But few have been as egre-
gious as the 95 Bush signed implying that he wouldn’t execute selected sections of laws passed by Congress because they didn’t conform to his interpretation of the president’s constitutional power. And now Congress is even sacrificing its cherished “power of the purse” to partisan gaming. In 2014, while Democrats looked the other way, House Republicans sued Obama for spending $175 billion on Obamacare without congressional approval. And this year, after most Republicans allowed Trump to get away with redirecting appropriated funds so he could build the wall on the southern border, House Democrats took him to court. Although in this case, stating that “Congress has several political arrows in its quiver to counter perceived threats to its sphere of power,” the judge denied the House had standing to sue the president. Regardless, it’s hypocritical for Congress to complain about presidential power grabs after they’ve given so much of it away. And what’s even worse when either party deems it’s acceptable only when the occupant in the White House is one of theirs. That’s part of the barrier to impeaching Trump. It’ll be seen as a partisan attack just like it was when President Bill Clinton was actually impeached. And when articles were drawn up against Bush and Obama. But the other problem is Congress itself. America’s government isn’t functioning as intended because they broke it. And without significant bipartisan support, they’ll fail again at impeaching the president.
hunting. Not much moves up Cook Inlet the rest of the year, so they either feast in July or starve later. A beluga needs to consume about five sockeye per day to achieve this 44 pounds of fat. Beluga whales weigh from 2,0003,000 pounds and five sockeye per day times 31 days in July equals 155 salmon. They each require 155 sockeye annually to achieve minimum fat reserves to survive the winter. Three hundred belugas require 46,500 sockeye, 600 require 93,000 sockeyes and so on. You can have as many belugas as you want to feed. Cook Inlet can get from 2-6 million sockeye per year. A surplus of 5 million sockeye allocates commercial fisheries 4.5 million sockeye at 90% and public fisheries 500,000 sockeye at 10%. This is a 100% allocation, leaving zero for belugas — unless they somehow steal from sockeye escapements. With 46,500 sockeyes required and zero available, it’s apparent
there’s serious problem. Current 100% sockeye allocation guarantees we either destroy our sockeyes to maintain belugas or destroy our belugas to maintain sockeyes. No matter the size of a sockeye run, a fully allocated resource requires us to sacrifice either sockeyes or belugas. Without a specific beluga sockeye allocation, Cook Inlet’s belugas will go extinct. This is a Board of Fisheries problem but they are ignoring it. You don’t need to actually starve them to death to eventual kill them. Starvation stress increases strandings, decreases reproduction and increases mortality. Nature senses declining resources and automatically declines reproduction to match it. It turns out that our beluga problem is U.S. selling their prey and spending the money on studies to determine what killed them.
Rich Moniak is a Juneau resident and retired civil engineer with more than 25 years of experience working in the public sector.
Letter to the Editor What is killing our belugas? What would you do if your grocery store didn’t have any groceries? How long would it take you to develop a food emergency? Our oceans are trying to survive human industrialization but they are stumbling. Marine life is being sold worldwide at unprecedented levels. Cook Inlet beluga whales prey primarily on sockeye salmon in July in order to acquire enough body weight to survive the winter. This (July fat increase) must happen at the same time Cook Inlet’ s commercial fisheries spread about 7 million linear feet of gill nets in front of the salmon migrating up Cook Inlet. Commercial fisheries harvest about 90% of these surplus salmon annually, leaving about 10% for public fisheries. Beluga whales need about 44 pounds of salmon daily in July to put on enough body fat to survive the winter. Failure to consume this fat cannot be made up with extra

Tech on trial: House mulls antitrust help for news industry By MARCY GORDON AP Business Writer
WASHINGTON — Members of both parties on Tuesday suggested legislation may be necessary for the financially-struggling U.S. news industry as lawmakers began a bipartisan investigation into the market dominance of Silicon Valley companies. At a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee’s antitrust panel, news media associations accused the tech companies of jeopardizing the industry’s economic survival by putting news content on their platforms without fairly compensating them. “This is the first significant antitrust investigation undertaken by Congress in decades,” Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., the subcommittee’s chairman, said at the start of the hearing. The investigation is long overdue, he said, and Congress must determine whether the antitrust laws “are equipped for the competition problems of our modern economy.”

Cicilline noted the steep layoffs in the news industry in recent years, saying the dominant position of the online platforms in the advertising market has created “an economic catastrophe for news publishers, forcing them to cut back on their investments in quality journalism.” At the same time, he said, tech platforms that are gateways to news online “have operated with virtual immunity from the antitrust laws.” As a partial solution, Cicilline proposed legisla-
tion to establish an antitrust exemption that would allow news companies to band together to negotiate revenue rates with big tech platforms. He called it “a life support measure, not the remedy for long-term health” of the news business. The senior Republican on the full committee, Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, said he backs Cicilline’s proposal. Addressing the broader question of antitrust, however, he said, “Big is not necessarily bad,” add-
ing that lawmakers need to proceed cautiously. The head of an association that represents technology and telecom companies said the government scrutiny of successful companies is appropriate. However, an antitrust exemption for the news industry wouldn’t solve the problem, said Matt Schruer, vice president of the Computer and Communications Industry Association. Before the internet, “news publishers received an exemption to deal with previous competitors like radio and TV news (and they) have not worked,” Schruer said. “The results were fewer choices for readers and less competition among news outlets.” But David Chavern, president of the News Media Alliance representing some 2,000 news organizations of all sizes and types, called an antitrust exemption “the lightest-touch option on the table.” “There’s a real urgency in the industry. We’re at crisis point now,” Chavern said.
As bishops gather, prosecutors step up scrutiny of church

DETROIT — Hundreds of boxes. Millions of records. From Michigan to New Mexico this month, attorneys general are sifting through files on clergy sex abuse, seized through search warrants and subpoenas at dozens of archdioceses. They’re looking to prosecute, and not just priests. If the boxes lining the hallways of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s offices contain enough evidence, she said,
she is considering using state racketeering laws usually reserved for organized crime. Prosecutors in Michigan are even volunteering on weekends to get through all the documents as quickly as possible. For decades, leaders of the Roman Catholic Church were largely left to police their own. But now, as American bishops gather for a conference to confront the reignited sex-abuse crisis this week, they’re facing the most scrutiny ever from secular law enforcement. A nationwide Associated Press query of more than 20 state and federal
prosecutors last week found they are looking for legal means to hold higher ups in the church accountable for sex abuse. They have raided diocesan offices, subpoenaed files, set up victim tip lines and launched sweeping investigations into decades-old allegations. Thousands of people have called hotlines nationwide, and five priests have recently been arrested. “Some of the things I’ve seen in the files makes your blood boil, to be honest with you,” Nessel said. “When you’re investigating gangs or the Mafia, we would call some of this conduct a criminal enterprise.” If a prosecutor applies racketeering laws, also known as RICO, against church leaders, bishops and other church officials could face criminal consequences for enabling predator priests, experts say. Such a move by Michigan or one of the other law enforcement agencies would mark the first known time that actions by a diocese or church leader were branded a criminal enterprise akin to organized crime. “That would be an im-
portant step because it would set the standard for pursuing justice in these cases,” said Marci Hamilton, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and CEO of CHILD USA, a Philadelphia-based think tank that tracks statute of limitations reforms. Monsignor G. Michael Bugarin, who handles sex abuse accusations for the Detroit Archdiocese, said they too are committed to ending abuse and coverups. Bugarin said they cooperate with law enforcement, and that won’t change if the attorney general is considering organized crime charges. “The law is the law, so I think we just have to respect what the current law is,” he said. Some defenders of the church bristle at the notion of increased legal action, saying the Catholic institution is being singled out by overzealous prosecutors. A spokesperson for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops refused to comment on law enforcement investigations into specific dioceses across the country, instead referring all such inquiries to the dioceses themselves.
Feisty Virginia primaries closely watched for national trend By ALAN SUDERMAN Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. — Voting in primary elections began Tuesday in Virginia, where off-year contests for all 140 seats in the state Legislature could serve as a political barometer for the coming presidential year. The state’s 2017 elections were an early warning signal that a blue wave of opposition to President Donald Trump would wash over the 2018 U.S. midterms, and now political analysts are looking for clues about 2020. Normally sleepy affairs, the primaries are more dramatic this year as moderates in both parties take fire from their more extreme flanks. Virginia is the only state where the Legislature has a reasonable chance of flipping party control. Republicans currently have narrow majorities in both the House and Senate. On the GOP side, lingering resentment over last year’s vote to expand Medicaid in Virginia is fueling divisive contests. Many Democratic incumbents are being challenged by liberal newcomers who aren’t shy about attacking their opponents as ethically compromised and out of step with their base.
Democrats hope to continue a three-year winning streak, powered largely by suburban voters unhappy with Trump. But the party lost a major advantage earlier this year when its top three statewide office holders became ensnared in scandal. A racist yearbook photo surfaced in February and almost forced Gov. Ralph Northam from office. Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax was then accused by two women of sexual assault, which he denied. And Attorney General Mark Herring, after calling for Northam to resign, revealed that he too wore blackface once in college. Threatened incumbents include two of Virginia’s most powerful senators, Democratic Senate Minority Leader Dick Saslaw and Republican Sen. Emmett Hanger. Saslaw, who is probusiness and chummy with Republicans, has not faced a primary challenger in 40 years. This year he has two, including 39-year-old human rights lawyer Yasmine Taeb, who paints Saslaw as too conservative and cozy with special interests. John Laszakovits a 60-year-old engineer from Falls Church, said he wants new people in office, and he voted for Taeb.
“The other guy’s been in there too long,” he said. But 71-year-old retiree Laura Harris said she voted for Saslaw because of his long track record of getting results. “He’s done so much in terms of human services,” she said. Hanger played a key role
in the Medicaid expansion that made 400,000 lowincome adults eligible to enroll. Opponent Tina Freitas said Hanger betrayed constituents by supporting Medicaid and that he isn’t conservative enough on guns or abortion. Hospitals have spent heavily to help Hanger.
States sue to stop $26.5 billion SprintT-Mobile deal NEW YORK — A group of state attorneys general led by New York and California filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday to block T-Mobile’s $26.5 billion bid for Sprint, citing consumer harm. The state attorneys general said the promised benefits, such as better networks in rural areas and faster service overall, cannot be verified, while eliminating a major wireless company will immediately harm consumers by reducing competition and driving up prices for cellphone service. New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement that combining the two companies would reduce access to affordable, reliable wireless service nationwide and would particularly affect lower-income and minority communities in New York and other urban areas. Other attorneys general joining Tuesday’s lawsuit are from Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Virginia and Wisconsin. All 10 attorneys general are Democrats. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in New York. The lawsuit is an unusual step by state officials ahead of a decision by federal antitrust authorities. The Justice Department’s decision is pending. The Republican majority of the Federal Communications Commission supports the deal , though the agency has yet to vote. Too many “mega mergers have sailed through the governmental approval process,” so it’s up to the states to “step up,” James said at a news conference. “There’s no rule or regulation that we have to wait for the DOJ,” she said. She added the attorneys general will “continue to litigate whether the DOJ approves the merger or not.” Diana Moss, the president of the American Antitrust Institute and an advocate for tougher antitrust enforcement, said the states’ lawsuit could signal to other potential merger partners that there would be tougher enforcement from states even if the federal government permitted deals to go through. James said Tuesday that her office’s renewed focus on mergers and anti-competitiveness goes beyond the tech industry, though she did not elaborate. T-Mobile and Sprint have argued that they need to bulk up to upgrade to a fast, powerful “5G” mobile network that competes with Verizon and AT&T. The companies are appealing to President Donald Trump’s desire for the U.S. to “win” a global 5G race. Consumer advocates, labor unions and many Democratic lawmakers worry that the deal could mean job cuts, higher wireless prices and a hit to the rural cellphone market. Amanda Wait, an antitrust lawyer and former Federal Trade Commission lawyer, said states are acting because they disagree with what they have seen the federal government doing. “They see the FCC accepting certain remedies and concessions that don’t, in their minds, solve the problem,” she said. T-Mobile declined comment. Sprint and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. One famous example of when the states and federal government diverged on a big antitrust case was in the fight against Microsoft, although that was not a merger case. Several states dissented from the Justice Department’s settlement roughly 20 years ago, pushing for tougher sanctions to curtail Microsoft’s ability to use its dominance in the Windows operating system to thwart competition in other technologies. More recently, in the Bayer-Monsanto agribusiness merger, five states last year criticized the federal government’s approval. T-Mobile and Sprint previously tried to combine during the Obama administration but regulators rebuffed them. They resumed talks on combining once Trump took office, hoping for more industry-friendly regulators. T-Mobile has a reputation for consumer-friendly changes to the cellphone industry. T-Mobile and Sprint led the return of unlimited-data cellphone plans, for example. T-Mobile, trying to reassure critics, promised the FCC it would build out a 5G network and invest in rural broadband on a specific timeframe or pay penalties. It also promised to sell off Sprint’s prepaid Boost Mobile brand and keep price increases on hold for three years. That was enough for FCC Chairman Ajit Pai to back the deal. The other two Republican commissioners indicated they would join him. — The Associated Press

Uganda confirms first Ebola case outside of Congo

KAMPALA, Uganda — A child in Uganda has tested positive for Ebola in the first cross-border case of the deadly virus since an outbreak started in neighboring Congo last year, Uganda’s health ministry said late Tuesday, in a blow to efforts by health workers who for months sought to prevent contamination across the heavily traveled frontier. The 5-year-old Congolese boy has been isolated with family members at a hospital in a western district near the Congo border, Ugandan Health Minister Jane Aceng told reporters.
Two family members were being tested for Ebola after developing symptoms, with results expected on Wednesday. The announcement puts new pressure on the World Health Organization to declare the Ebola outbreak — the second-deadliest in history — a global health emergency. The outbreak is unfolding amid unprecedented challenges of rebel attacks and community resistance in a region that had never experienced Ebola before. In April a WHO expert committee decided that the outbreak, while of “deep concern,” was not yet a global health emergency .
But international spread is one of the major criteria the United Nations agency considers before such a declaration. It was not immediately clear when the boy entered Uganda. A WHO statement said he entered on Sunday with his family through the Bwera border post. He sought treatment at Kagando hospital and was transferred to Bwera Ebola treatment unit, WHO said. Confirmation of Ebola was made on Tuesday by the Uganda Virus Institute. “The ministry of health and WHO have dispatched a rapid response team to Kasese to identify other people who may be at risk,” WHO said. Congo’s health ministry in a separate statement said the boy, from Mabalako, arrived on Monday at Congo’s Kasindi border post. There, a dozen family members appeared to have symptoms and were transferred to an isolation center at the local hospital for observation. Six family members then broke away while being transferred to an Ebola treatment center in Beni and crossed into Uganda while Congolese border officials alerted their Ugan-
dan colleagues, Congo’s health ministry said. Uganda officials found the family members at the Kagando hospital, where the boy’s Ebola case was confirmed. Officials from the two countries will meet on Wednesday about the possibility of sending the family back to Beni in Congo for treatment, the health ministry said. It was not immediately clear how the family members were able to cross the border, where millions have travelers have been screened for Ebola since the outbreak began. WHO has advised against travel restrictions. There have been more than 2,000 confirmed and probable cases of the Ebola virus in Congo since August, with nearly 1,400 deaths. The disease is spread mainly through contact with the bodily fluids of those infected. For the first time an experimental but effective Ebola vaccine is being widely used, with more than 130,000 doses distributed. Uganda has vaccinated nearly 4,700 health workers, WHO said. The East African nation has had multiple outbreaks of Ebola and other hemorrhagic fevers since 2000.
Tariff deal gives momentum to ‘Remain-in-Mexico’ policy By ELLIOT SPAGAT and CEDAR ATTANASIO Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — In a cramped San Diego courtroom, immigrant mothers cradled restless babies and toddlers as they waited to go before a judge. After a quick exchange, they were whisked back to Mexico where they face months, or possibly years, before their cases play out in the U.S. Hundreds of miles away, a judge in El Paso, Texas, noticed that an infant was fussing and let the child’s mother stand up and burp the baby before shipping her and about a dozen others, including six pregnant women, back to the Mexican border city of Juarez. “I am afraid to return to Mexico and I’m about to have my baby,” a pregnant woman from Honduras told the judge, her belly pushing out against her red shirt as she blew her runny nose. Nearby, another Honduran woman waited with her two young children, who began to fidget about an hour into the hearing. The 5-yearold boy hummed to himself while teasing and tickling his 7-year-old sister.

Scenes like these playing out in U.S. border courtrooms in recent weeks would become even more common under a deal that led President Donald Trump to suspend his threat of tariffs on all Mexican exports to the U.S. A centerpiece of the agreement calls for rapid expansion of a policy that makes Central American asylum seekers wait in Mexico while their cases wind through U.S. immigration courts. The policy got off to a modest start in January in San Diego and then expanded to El Paso while surviving an initial court
challenge from critics who call it a violation of longstanding protections for asylum seekers. The Mexican government said last week that 10,393 Central Americans had been returned to Mexico since the end of January to await court proceedings. The administration has yet to say when and where the policy will be expanded. The policy targets Central American families who have overwhelmed the U.S. immigration system in recent months, forcing authorities to release them into the U.S. while they await court appearances.
The Trump administration hopes that fewer migrants will come if they know they’ll have to wait in Mexico. It’s too early to say if the policy will achieve that, but the surging numbers of family arrivals show it has yet to have the desired effect. Border arrests rose to a 13-year-high in May, with El Paso slowly approaching Texas’ Rio Grande Valley as the busiest corridor for illegal crossings. Asylum seekers — and the Mexican border cities that host them — face a large and growing backlog of cases in U.S. immigration courts. For some, it could take years for their court cases to be resolved. During that time, migrants need to work and send children to school. Migrants at El Buen Pastor shelter who were returned to Juarez on May 23 were not given hearing dates in El Paso until next February. The Rev. Juan Ferro, who manages the Methodist shelter, said he no longer imposes a 15-day cap on how long people can stay, realizing that migrants could be in his city for the long haul with few options.
Japan premier hopes to ease US-Iran tensions in Tehran visit By JON GAMBRELL and MARI YAMAGUCHI Associated Press
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s trip to Tehran represents the highest-level effort yet to de-escalate tensions between the U.S. and Iran as the country appears poised to break the 2015 nuclear deal it struck with world powers that America earlier abandoned. But while Abe’s trip to Iran marks the first visit of a sitting Japanese premier in the 40 years since the Islamic Revolution, it remains unclear if he’ll end up going home with any success. Iran is threatening to resume enriching uranium closer to weapons-grade level on July 7 if European allies fail to offer it new terms. While President Donald Trump says he wants to talk to Tehran, the U.S. has piled on sanctions that have seen Iran’s rial currency plummet along with its crucial oil exports. The U.S. also has sent an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the region, along with hundreds more troops to back up the tens of thou-
sands already deployed across the Middle East. The U.S. blames Iran for a mysterious attack on oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates, while Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen continue to launch coordinated drone attacks on Saudi Arabia. The stakes, analysts say, couldn’t be higher. “Just going to Iran doesn’t resolve any problem,” said Kazuo Takahashi, an Open University of Japan professor of international politics and expert on the Middle East. “He would have to help open a path of dialogue between the U.S. and Iran, and that could be a major risk.” Iran’s nuclear deal, agreed to at the time by China, Russia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the U.S., saw Tehran agree to limit its enrichment of uranium exchange for the lifting of crippling sanctions. Western powers feared Iran’s atomic program could allow it to build nuclear weapons, although Iran long has insisted its program was for peaceful purposes. In withdrawing from the deal last year, Trump pointed to the accord not limit-

ing Iran’s ballistic missile program and not addressing what American officials describe as Tehran’s malign influence across the wider Mideast. Those who struck the deal at the time described it as a building block toward further negotiations with Iran, whose Islamic government has had a tense relationship with America since the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and subsequent hostage crisis. Trump spoke Tuesday with Abe, said Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s chief Cabinet
secretary. Suga declined to give any details about what they discussed. Abe also in recent days spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, all of whom are fierce critics of Iran. “Taking into account the current status of rising tension in the Middle East, we hope to ease tensions through leader-level talks with Iran, a regional powerhouse,” Suga said.
Russian journalist freed after police abruptly drop charges MOSCOW — In a stunning turnaround, Russian authorities Tuesday abruptly dropped all charges against a prominent investigative reporter after a public and media outcry over his arrest, and they promised to go after the police who allegedly tried to frame him as a drug dealer. The release of Ivan Golunov marked an extremely rare case of security officials admitting a mistake. It also highlighted the difficulties that Russian journalists routinely face when reporting on sensitive topics like graft, corruption and President Vladimir Putin’s personal life. The 36-year-old Golunov was stopped Thursday by police on a Moscow street and taken into custody, where his defense team said he was beaten and denied a lawyer for more than 12 hours. The journalist, who works for the independent website Meduza, had been facing drug charges that could put him in prison for up to 20 years. Supporters mounted a nationwide campaign on his behalf, with journalists and others picketing Moscow police headquarters for five days. More than 20,000 people signed an online pledge to march in the capital on Wednesday, a public holiday, to protest Golunov’s arrest. But Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev surprised the nation when he announced that all charges against Golunov were dropped after police found “no proof of his part in a crime.” “I believe that the rights of any citizen, whatever his professional affiliation, ought to be protected,” the minister said, adding that he will ask Putin to dismiss two police generals, including the drug chief of the Moscow police, and suspend the officers who detained Golunov. Speaking outside police headquarters, a shy and shocked-looking Golunov said he still couldn’t believe he was cleared so quickly. “I will keep doing investigations to justify the trust of all those who supported me,” he said. He added that he hopes the police will stop trying to frame innocent people, adding: “I hope it will not happen to anyone else in our country.” In an unusual broadcast, his release was shown live on a state-controlled 24-hour news channel. Judicial statistics indicate that the chances for criminal charges to be dropped or an acquittal once a person is in custody are extremely slim. When it does happen, authorities tend to avoid taking any blame. “When the authorities admit their mistakes, admit the mistakes of the law enforcement officials and correct them, that’s very good because it shows that the government is reasonable,” Alexei Venediktov, editorin-chief of the influential Ekho Moskvy radio station, told the Interfax news agency. It is not yet clear if the police reversal represented a turning point for the many Russian journalists who are routinely attacked or face government pressure for their work. Many of them say they don’t feel safe to operate and report freely. “We have put the pressure on the system and it worked this time,” said Pavel Kanygin, investigative reporter at Novaya Gazeta. “But it really is impossible to work in this environment.” The circumstances of Golunov’s detention alarmed others in the media. In an apparent attempt to portray him as a professional drug dealer, police on Friday released several photos, reportedly from his home, of what appeared to be a drug lab. They later retracted the statement, saying that the photos were taken elsewhere. In a separate statement later, the police said they found cocaine at Golunov’s home. A judge put him under house arrest Saturday following a public outcry of support, including from high-profile journalists working for state-owned media. Many Russian journalists have to tread carefully in their work, especially when reporting about Putin and his family. But since Golunov’s work mostly focused on Moscow City Hall and the city’s crime-ridden funeral industry, the case raised questions about a possible shift in where the red lines are drawn in Russian journalism. Award-winning journalist Roman Badanin was ousted from three major editorial positions between 2011 and 2016 after the media outlets under his leadership touched on topics believed to be too sensitive for the Kremlin. Three top editors at the business newspaper RBC, including Badanin, were ousted in 2016 after reporting on Putin’s inner circle, including an investigative piece about an oyster farm near a mansion that a whistleblower has described as “Putin’s palace.” To Badanin, the crackdown on Golunov stands out because it lower-level decision-makers, rather than the Kremlin or government-connected tycoons, were likely behind it. “Ivan’s case tells us that now violence or unlawful actions against journalists can be applied at a lower level, not just by the Kremlin,” he told The Associated Press. In act of journalistic solidarity not seen for at least 15 years, RBC and two other major papers, Kommersant and Vedomosti, published identical front pages on Monday with the headline “I am/We are Ivan Golunov,” and called for a transparent investigation of his case. The newspapers all had first-hand experience of government pressure and indirect censorship. The solidarity surprisingly extended to tightly controlled state TV channels, with some commentators referring to Golunov as “a colleague” and questioning the police evidence. Rights activists have long complained of police abusing their powers and planting drugs on innocent people. About 130,000, or nearly a third of the country’s prison population, were convicted on drug-related charges. Golunov’s release prompted several prominent officials, including close Putin ally Alexei Kudrin, to call for a review of how drug charges are used and abused. In a joint statement, the CEO and editor in chief of Meduza, along with Golunov’s lawyer and two other prominent journalists, pledged to investigate the police officials responsible for the arrest. “The group of journalists we have gathered together in recent days will continue working, and now, they will be working together with Ivan himself,” the statement said. “This is only the beginning. We have a lot of hard work ahead of us if we are to ensure that what happened here will never happen again to anybody.” — The Associated Press

Measuring distance in Alaska and hosting summer potlatches You know you are talking to another Alaskan when they measure distance from one town to the other in hours and not miles. A vacation in the summer for some Alaskans means a weekend camped on the banks of the Kenai River, or up The Little Susitna River. In our case, the Kenai River is about an hour from here. To get to the Little Susitna (Little Su) we would have to drive about four hours, find a boat and/or fly. That is about all day. I do not have a clue the mileage! Fishing on Kenai, Tustumena or Skilak lakes is about two hours from our place, but may take longer — as you would have to stop at all the tributaries in between to dunk your fishing pole. How about a trip to Ninilchik and Anchor Point for a fishing trip on a charter boat out into Cook Inlet? That’s about a two-and-halfhour drive. On to Homer to sightsee or halibut and salmon fish or to bring home crab and shrimp — that is three or four hours depending on where you stop and how long you are there. Coming home is from two to four hours depending on how many motor homes are on the road. You really have to concentrate when they spot something interesting and stop and pull halfway off the highway. We have been behind motor homes that just plan stop in the road and look at a bear, moose or beautiful flowers. YUP, it is summertime in Alaska! You end your day either staying for the night or driving home in twilight — about 10 or 11 p.m., as it does not get completely dark throughout June, July and part of August. But you have to first stop to eat in one of the several seafood restaurants, which may take one to three hours. See ANNIE, page B6

Throw a pork tenderloin on the grill tonight and chill out By America’S Test Kitchen The Associated Press
To turn a midweek dinner into something special, try cooking easy pork tenderloin on the grill. To produce beautifully browned pork with a rich crust and tender, juicy meat, we started with a simple dry spice rub to add flavor sugar aided browning while cumin and chipotle chile powder added savory smokiness. The rub had some time to work its magic while we readied the grill. Searing the meat first guaranteed the best crust and a rosy interior, and turning the tenderloins every 2 minutes delivered even colour. Once the meat had a good crust, we moved it to the cooler side to finish roasting. To add bright flavor and enhance the smoky char of the pork, we grilled wedges of pineapple and red onion to make a quick salsa while the meat rested. To ensure that the tenderloins don’t curl during cooking, remove the silverskin from the meat. We strongly prefer natural pork in this recipe. If the pork is enhanced (injected with a salt solution), omit the salt in the first step.
GRILL-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE-RED ONION SALSA Servings: 4 Start to finish: 50 minutes Pork: 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder 2 (12- to 16-ounce) pork tenderloins, trimmed Salsa: 1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut lengthwise into 6 wedges 1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges through root end 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro 1 serrano chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced 2 tablespoons lime juice, plus extra for seasoning Salt For the pork: Combine salt, sugar, cumin, and chile powder in small bowl. Reserve 1/2 teaspoon spice mixture. Rub

remaining spice mixture evenly over surface of both tenderloins. Refrigerate while preparing grill. — For a charcoal grill: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. — For a gas grill: Turn all burners to high,
cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave primary burner on high and turn off other burner(s). Clean and oil cooking grate. Place tenderloins on hotter side of grill. Cover and cook, turning tenderloins every 2 minutes, until well browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. For the salsa: Brush pineapple and onion with 1 teaspoon oil. Move tenderloins to cooler side of grill (6 to 8 inches from heat source) and place pineapple and onion on
hotter side of grill. Cover and cook until pineapple and onion are charred on both sides and softened, 8 to 10 minutes, and until pork registers 140 F, 12 to 17 minutes, turning tenderloins every 5 minutes. As pineapple, onion, and tenderloins reach desired level of doneness, transfer pineapple and onion to plate and transfer tenderloins to carving board and let rest for 10 minutes. While tenderloins rest, coarsely chop pineapple. Pulse pineapple, onion, cilantro, serrano,
lime juice, reserved spice mixture, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in food processor until mixture is coarsely chopped, 4 to 6 pulses. Transfer to bowl and season with salt and extra lime juice to taste. Slice tenderloins into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

A good salmon cake delivers rich flavor and tender texture By America’s Test Kitchen The Associated Press
A good salmon cake delivers rich flavor and tender texture the best veers away from flavor-muting binders at all costs. We used a food processor to chop salmon into a mix of both fine and larger pieces for a varied and not overly dense texture. A single slice of bread provided just enough binding, and a combination of shallot, parsley, mustard, and capers complemented the salmon a bit of mayonnaise ensured our patties would stay moist. Broiling the patties made them easy to flip and kept them from overcooking. We arranged them on one end of a baking sheet, leaving plenty of room for a broiler-friendly vegetable—asparagus—to cook simultaneously. A quick lemon and parsley sauce added a touch of class. Be sure to use raw salm-

We can go to Seward from here in about four hours. Continued from page A8 I know people who make it in about two, but we are in no hurry. There is lots to see and potty stops to be made along the way. Go to Seward for the Salmon Derby or 4th of July. The Mount Marathon race up and down the mountain brings large crowds. Don’t forget to take a Kenai Fjords charter boat out into Resurrection Bay and beyond into Prince William Sound. The captains are very informative and interesting. For four hours on that charter you get to see all kinds of sea life, sea birds and glaciers. It’s a trip you have to take. Getting off the boat and going the SeaLife Center on the edge of town is always a treat. Summer visitors at our house get a peek at our Alaskan homestyle living. Sometimes we plan a trip to Homer. Susan and I are planning such a trip in August with good friends Jo Anne Wahlstrom and daughter Kandi and Leatha Earll and daughter Tia. We rented a lodge and we are going to have a rip-roaring good time. It may take all day to get there and a sleepless night, but we’ll take several walks on the beach and I am sure enjoy some great food at many of the nice restaurants. I am especially looking forward to that trip! We can take as many hours to get there and that many hours getting home — who cares about the mileage!! One year, we planned a trip to Fairbanks and Chena Hot Springs with Sister Elaine and her husband Ted Oster. We took all modes of transportation. We drove four hours from our house to Anchorage. We flew to Fairbanks, rented a motor home in Fairbanks and drove about three hours before we stopped for the night and “camped” in our motor home. On to Chena Hot Springs. What a nice place to visit. We especially enjoyed the ice house and the hot springs. Then we drove back to Fairbanks, floated down the Chena River on a paddleboat stern-wheeler, ate a nice lunch, got on a train in Fairbanks and got off at the depot at Denali We took a delightful trip — long, but very interesting trip, by old-school bus to a resort within Denali Park, Kantishna Road House. We were served lunch, walked around and took the long, long ride back to the lodge that we were staying at for the night along the highway entrance to Denali Park. We had a great time at the family-style restaurant and enjoyed cheerful and funny entertainment. The next morning we climbed on a train headed for Anchorage, and took the long four-hour (or was it five hours, Bob will tell you it was WAY TO LONG!) ride through all kinds of beautiful scenery. My sister and I took so many pictures standing outside on the train platform. I took so many pictures I still have not counted. So did Elaine! The Hurricane Gulch Bridge crossing was the highlight. As we arrived at the train depot in Anchorage, we took a taxi to the airport so Elaine and Ted could go back to Colorado. That was a trip to remember in hours and days and days. I would be totally astounded at the miles we traveled, as if we were counting miles. This is Alaska where we count in hours!! Don’t forget to go to the gold mining camps, an hour close by and hours faraway. Valdez and Whittier are fun trips and can be reached by car, train, boat or airplane. BUT, our favorite trip of all is in our backyard around a bonfire with friends and family who have brought their favorite dish to share at an annual picnic that Bob and I have every year. This year it will be in August to say hello to friends we have not seen for weeks, months or years. In the Native villages, it is called a potlatch. We have given many, many potlatches — what we call bonfire picnics. No one leaves hungry and usually takes a plateful of food home with them, as food is in abundance and varied. Our bonfire picnics often include friends who offer their smoked salmon to our guests. It is always delicious. Much jabber and tall-tale telling is ongoing. If this sounds like fun, come join us sometime. We would love to hear your stories and taste your special dish around the special potlatch we call a bonfire.
SMOKED SALMON CREAM CHEESE DIP We served this at the 2001 Christmas Party for Fireweed Herb Garden in the gift shop. We had many requests for it. In a medium bowl stir until blended: 1 8-ounce package cream cheese at room temperature 2 tablespoons sour cream or mayonnaise 2 tablespoons finely minced onion Small amount of finely chopped red bell pepper (optional) 1 teaspoon lemon pepper 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 cup minced smoked salmon 1 teaspoon Tabasco 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt Stir to blend completely. Place in serving bowl and chill at least 8 hours. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with cheese crackers, saltines or Wheat Thins. Gets better after it is in the fridge for a while.
SALMON POT PIE Quick — have a can of refrigerated biscuits on hand. Oil a 2-quart casserole and place the following into it: 1 pint canned salmon, drained and dark pieces removed. 1/2 cup each chopped onion and celery 1/4 cup green pepper chopped fine (optional) 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables. Run under hot water in a colander and drain. 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 1 can undiluted cream of mushroom soup Mix until blended. Top with refrigerated biscuits. Brush tops with butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees until biscuits are
browned and casserole is bubbling. This is so very good on a cold winter night. Don’t forget the Grandma McClure’s dill pickles! Serve with salad made from fruit cocktail, chopped canned peaches and sliced, diced orange. Fold in Cool Whip or mayonnaise. Sprinkle with pecans.
SALMON SALAD 1 pint can drained salmon, removed the dark pieces. 1/2 cup mayonnaise or half yogurt and mayonnaise 3 teaspoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickle relish 1/2 small onion, chopped finely 1 teaspoon dill weed 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper Combine all ingredients. Toast and butter English Muffins. Spread with cream cheese. Top with salmon mixture. Cut in half and serve with Broccoli Bacon Salad.
BROCCOLI BACON SALAD Combine 2 large bunches of broccoli, chopped — discard woody steams, slice the rest 1/2 cup raisins or craisins (optional) 1 pound fried bacon. Chop bacon before you fry it! 1 cup chopped red onion Combine and pour over: 2 cups mayonnaise 1/2 cup sugar 4 tablespoons vinegar 4 tablespoons milk Combine and chill all night. To serve, sprinkle with sunflower seeds. This is so good I could of have made a meal of it.
Nutty chickpeas and kalamata olives give this salad a kick By America’S Test Kitchen The Associated Press
The appeal of a chopped salad is that all the ingredients are cut to a uniform size and tossed together, permitting a taste of everything in each bite. Virtually any ingredients may be used, yet most chopped salads are uninspired, laden with deli meats and cheeses and drowned in dressing. With a world of options at our disposal, we steered our salad in a Mediterranean direction, starting with escarole. A member of the chicory family, this underutilized leafy green is loaded with vitamins and has a mild bitterness that pairs well with bold flavors. Next we added chopped cucumbers and grape tomatoes, salting them to remove excess moisture, and red onion. To make our salad hearty, instead of deli meat we incorporated nutty chickpeas. Kalamata olives added richness, and walnuts brought crunch and healthy fats. We tossed everything with a simple red wine vinaigrette to let the salad’s flavors
shine through. Finally, not wanting to completely eliminate cheese from our salad, we sprinkled on 1/2 cup of briny feta to round out the flavors. Cherry tomatoes can be substituted for the grape tomatoes.
MEDITERRANEAN CHOPPED SALAD Servings: 6 Start to finish: 25 minutes 1 cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 10 ounces grape tomatoes, quartered Salt and pepper 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 garlic clove, minced 3 tablespoons coldpressed extra-virgin olive oil 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped 1/2 small red onion, chopped fine 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 head escarole (1 pound), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)

Today in History Today is Wednesday, June 12, the 163rd day of 2019. There are 202 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 12, 2016, an American-born Muslim opened fire at the Pulse nightclub, a gay establishment in Orlando, Florida, leaving 49 people dead and 53 wounded before being shot dead by police. On this date: In 1665, England installed a municipal government in New York, formerly the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam, and appointed its first mayor, Thomas Willett. In 1776, Virginia’s colonial legislature adopted a Declaration of Rights. In 1939, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was dedicated in Cooperstown, New York. In 1942, Anne Frank, a German-born Jewish girl living in Amsterdam, received a diary for her 13th birthday, less than a month before she and her family went into hiding from the Nazis. In 1963, civil rights leader Medgar Evers, 37, was shot and killed outside his home in Jackson, Mississippi. (In 1994, Byron De La Beckwith was convicted of murdering Evers and sentenced to life in prison; he died in 2001.) In 1964, South African black nationalist Nelson Mandela was sentenced to life in prison along with seven other people, including Walter Sisulu, for committing sabotage against the apartheid regime (all were eventually released, Mandela in 1990). In 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Loving v. Virginia, unanimously struck down state laws prohibiting interracial marriages. In 1978, David Berkowitz was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for each of the six “Son of Sam” .44-caliber killings that terrified New Yorkers. In 1981, major league baseball players began a 49-day strike over the issue of free-agent compensation. (The season did not resume until Aug. 10.) “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, was first released. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan, during a visit to the divided German city of Berlin, exhorted Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” In 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were slashed to death outside her Los Angeles home. (O.J. Simpson was later acquitted of the killings in a criminal trial, but was eventually held liable in a civil action.) Boeing’s new 777 jetliner went on its first test flight. In 2004, former President Ronald Reagan’s body was sealed inside a tomb at his presidential library in Simi Valley, California, following a week of mourning and remembrance by world leaders and regular Americans. Ten years ago: U.S. television stations ended analog broadcasts in favor of digital transmission. Congress approved legislation banning “light” or candy-flavored cigarettes and requiring tobacco companies to make bigger warning labels and run fewer ads. The U.N. Security Council imposed sanctions on North Korea for its second nuclear test. The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 to win the Stanley Cup in Game 7. Five years ago: During a tightly controlled tour of a converted warehouse at Port Hueneme, California, a government official said the number of migrant children housed at the facility after they were caught entering the country illegally could more than triple to 575 by the following week. The World Cup opened in Brazil with the home team beating Croatia, 3-1, after a funky opening ceremony featuring Jennifer Lopez and dancers dressed as trees. One year ago: After a five-hour summit in Singapore, President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a joint statement agreeing to work toward a denuclearized Korean Peninsula, although the timeline and tactics were left unclear; Trump declared that he and Kim had developed “a very special bond.” Republican Rep. Mark Sanford, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, lost his South Carolina congressional seat in a primary, hours after Trump tweeted that Sanford was “very unhelpful” and “nothing but trouble.” Throngs of Golden State Warriors fans turned out for a second straight year to honor the NBA champions in a parade in downtown Oakland, California; in Washington, DC, the Stanley Cup champion Capitals were cheered by fans along Constitution Ave. Today’s Birthdays: Songwriter Richard M.

we broiled the corn on the cob instead of heading out to the grill, first brushing it with oil to keep it from drying out. Mayonnaise makes a good substitute for Mexican crema, especially when it’s dressed up with cilantro, garlic, lime, and chili powder. Hard-to-find traditional Cotija cheese is great, but salty, crumbly feta is just as good. To keep it from crumbling right off the corn, we mixed it in with the mayonnaise before slathering the mixture all over the charred corn and broiling it for another few minutes.

Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Brush corn all over with oil and transfer to prepared sheet. Broil corn until well browned on 1 side, about 10 minutes. Flip corn and broil until well browned on opposite side, about 10 minutes longer. Meanwhile, whisk may-
onnaise, feta, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in bowl until incorporated. Remove corn from oven and brush evenly on all sides with mayonnaise mixture. (Reserve any extra mayonnaise mixture for serving.) Return corn to oven and broil, rotating frequently, until coating is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Rangers beat Sox on Pence’s inside-the-park HR BOSTON (AP) — Hunter Pence hit a stand-up, inside-thepark home run and the Texas Rangers beat the Boston Red Sox 9-5 Tuesday night after both managers were ejected. Ariel Jurado (4-2) struck out six while pitching six innings of three-run ball, and Pence, Asdrubal Cabrera and Ronald Guzman each had two RBIs for the Rangers. Texas has won four of five, including Monday night’s extrainnings victory at Fenway Park. Xander Bogaerts and Mookie Betts homered for Boston, which has lost three straight and five of six. The Red Sox dropped to 34-34 on a night filled with frustrations. Andrew Benintendi was ejected in the fifth, and manager Alex Cora was also tossed defending his outfielder. Darwinzon Hernandez (0-1) made his first major league start and struck out seven, but he struggled with his control and allowed four runs — three earned — on
three hits and five walks. He faced two batters in the fourth, when Texas pulled ahead 4-3. The Rangers added two more runs in the fifth on a double by Guzman, and the Red Sox began to unravel in the bottom half of the inning.

US scores 13 in Cup opener Americans crush Vietnam to make big World Cup statement By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer
REIMS, France — Thailand was never a real threat to the U.S. national team. Even so, the three-time Women’s World Cup champions had no desire to go easy on a lesser opponent in their opening game. Goals matter in the group stage. And statements matter in soccer’s biggest tournament. “Obviously we have the utmost respect for everyone we play, but it’s the World Cup,” said captain Megan Rapinoe. Alex Morgan tied the tournament record with five goals and the United States opened with a historic 13-0 rout of
Thailand on Tuesday night. Samantha Mewis and Rose Lavelle each added a pair of goals for the United States, which broke the record for goals and margin of victory in a World Cup game. Rapinoe, Lindsey Horan, Mallory Pugh and Carli Lloyd also scored. The previous record margin was Germany’s 11-0 victory over Argentina in 2007. Morgan tied Michelle Akers’ record for World Cup goals, set in the quarterfinals against Taiwan in 1991. The team’s seven different scorers also set a tournament record. Lloyd, 36, became the oldest American woman to score at a World Cup and joined Germany’s Birgit Prinz as the only players to score in five
straight World Cup games. The United States faced criticism over its relentless attack. The Americans led 3-0 at the break and then broke the match open in the second half, with the players celebrating goal after goal. The Americans meant no disrespect, said Morgan, but they simply wanted to position themselves for a run at a second consecutive title. “We really just came into the game really wanting to showcase ourselves,” Morgan said. “Every goal matters in this tournament and that’s what we were working on.” Asked about the lopsided score, U.S. coach Jill Ellis wondered if a 10-0 victory in a men’s World Cup would elicit the same questions.
“This is a world championship, so every team here has been fantastic to get to this point. And I think that to be respectful to opponents is to play hard against opponents, and as Alex said, it’s a tournament where goal differential is important,” Ellis said. The two teams were the last to kick off in the group stage for the monthlong tournament. Host France opened the World Cup before a sellout crowd in Paris on Friday night with a 4-0 victory over South Korea. Ranked No. 1 in the world, the Americans had dropped only one match in their previous 38, a loss to France in Le Havre in January. The team See WORLD, page A11
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — Beloved in his hometown, David Ortíz traveled the dangerous streets of Santo Domingo with little or no security, trusting in his fans to protect him. Big Papi’s guard was down even at hotspots like the Dial Bar and Lounge, where the Dominican business and entertainment elite can cross paths with shadier figures in a country where fortunes are often made in drug smuggling and money laundering. As the former Red Sox slugger lies in intensive care in Boston, recovering from the bullet fired into his back at the Dial on Sunday night, police are investigating what aspect of the national hero’s life made him the target of what appeared to be an assassination attempt. Ortíz was so relaxed at the open-air hotspot Sunday that he had his back to the sidewalk as a gunman — a passenger on a motorcycle — got off the bike just before 9 p.m., approached the 43-year-old retired athlete and fired a single shot at close range before escaping. Enraged fans captured the 25-year-old motorcyclist and beat him bloody before handing him over to police, but the gunman was still at large Tuesday. Dominican authorities reported a second arrest in the case Tuesday night, but there was no public indication the man was suspected of being the shooter.
Raiders picked to be featured on Hard Knocks By JOSH DUBOW AP Pro Football Writer
ALAMEDA, Calif. — Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden will be a TV star once again. HBO announced Tuesday that the Raiders will be featured on the network’s “Hard Knocks” show in training camp this summer that gives a behind-the-scenes look at an NFL team. Gruden spent nine seasons as the lead analyst on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” before returning to the sideline for a second stint as Raiders coach last year. Now he will likely be a star of the 14th edition of this reality show. “Everybody wants to be a Raider,” owner Mark Davis said. “Now they’ll find out what it takes to become one.”
Much at stake in last NBA Finals trip to Oracle Arena By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer
TORONTO — The NBA Finals are making one last trip to Oracle Arena. For the Toronto Raptors, it’s a second shot at a first championship. For the Golden State Warriors, it’ll be a night to play for a fallen teammate and the fans they’re leaving behind. Game 6 is Thursday and the stakes could hardly be higher. “We owe our fans one more game in Oracle,” Warriors guard Klay Thompson said.
There have been so many already during Golden State’s stretch of five straight trips to the NBA Finals, the second-longest run in NBA history. But few had all the drama and emotion that will fill the Oakland air Thursday. Toronto will bring a 3-2 lead into the building and try again to win a title that seemed so close in Game 5. The Raptors had a sixpoint lead with less than 3 minutes remaining Monday, poised to put an end to a Golden era in the NBA. Then Thompson and Stephen Curry rallied Golden State to a 106-105 victory, fueled by three straight 3-pointers.
Now the Raptors have to do things a little bit better, for a little bit longer. “Come out and do the same thing. Just be mentally focused, try to limit our mistakes, and be the aggressor,” Kawhi Leonard said. “Just play hard 48 minutes and see what happens.” It’s the last game in the arena before the Warriors move to the new Chase Center in San Francisco, and the first one for Golden State with the knowledge that Kevin Durant won’t be back this season. The two-time defending champions began the series hoping he could return from a strained
right calf, but not long after he did he was lost in the second quarter of Game 5 with an Achilles tendon injury. Center Kevon Looney also went out again, so the Warriors are nowhere near full strength as they make their final stand. They can’t worry about that now. “It’s not like we’re the only team battling,” Draymond Green said. “They’re battling as well. Everybody is facing fatigue at this point. No one cares who is tired or if you’re facing a little fatigue. You’ve got to do what you came here to do anyway.”
The Warriors are trying to become the 12th team to come back from a 3-1 deficit and only the second in the NBA Finals, after the Cleveland Cavaliers did it against them in 2016. Being back home Thursday is a luxury but certainly no guarantee, not after Toronto won Games 3 and 4 at Oracle Arena to go along with its victory there in the regular season. So the Raptors won’t be rattled by having to go back there, even though they nearly avoided it. “We came into this series expecting a long series and we put ourselves in a good position,” guard Fred VanVleet said.

was 7-1-2 overall this year, with six straight wins going into the World Cup. The last time the Americans played in the sport’s top tournament, Lloyd had a hat trick in the first 16 minutes and the United States beat Japan 5-2 in Canada for the trophy. The U.S. pounced early against Thailand, too, on Morgan’s header in the 13th minute off Kelley O’Hara’s precisely placed cross. Mewis, Lavelle and Horan were all making their World Cup debuts. “When you get a deluge of goals like that, it’s a good feeling,” Ellis said. “It builds confidence.” Thailand, ranked No. 34 in the world, was clearly outmatched even though the team has shown progress on the world stage. Making its World Cup debut in 2015 four years ago, Thailand finished third in its group but earned its first win, a 3-2 victory over Ivory Coast. At the final whistle, Lloyd and Christen Press were seen consoling the Thailand goalkeeper. Morgan put her arm around Thailand’s Miranda Nild, who was wiping away tears on the field. Nild and Morgan both played college soccer for the California Golden Bears. “They were disappointed of course, they intended to make an impression in this first match and they were disappointed,” coach Nuengrutai Srathongvian said through a translator. “Yes, they are all athletes and they will be resilient. We’ve got two more games to play and we need to bounce back.” Srathongvian said soccer in Thailand is still growing and there is a limited pool of players to draw from. NETHERLANDS 1, NEW ZEALAND 0 LE HAVRE, France (AP) — Jill Roord came off the bench and scored in stoppage time to give the Netherlands a 1-0 victory over New Zealand in the Women’s World Cup group opener for both teams Tuesday. The Netherlands, ranked No. 8 in the world, controlled possession throughout the game but couldn’t get by New Zealand goalkeeper Erin Nayler until Roord’s breakthrough header. The tough loss after a strong defensive effort means 19th-ranked New Zealand is still looking for its first-ever World Cup victory. Tom Sermanni, former coach of the Australia and U.S. national teams, was hired as coach of New Zealand last October in time for the Ferns to qualify for their fifth World Cup. The Netherlands made its World Cup debut in 2015 and got through to the knockout stage but lost to eventual runner-up Japan. The team has raised it profile since, winning the 2017 Euros. SWEDEN 2, CHILE 0 RENNES, France (AP) — Kosovare Asllani’s goal after a weather delay broke up a scoreless stalemate and Sweden went on to win its Women’s World Cup opener 2-0 on Tuesday and spoil Chile’s debut in the tournament. Thunder prompted a delay in the match in the 72nd minute. It was resumed about 40 minutes later. Asllani’s goal, Sweden’s 60th in World Cup play, came in the 83rd minute. Madelen Janogy came in off the bench and added a goal in stoppage time for the Swedes, who are ranked No. 9 in the world.

Old friend’s new lifestyle alters time spent together Consider suggesting to Libby that rather than go out for the evening with Melanie, they meet for lunch instead.
DEAR ABBY: My wife, “Libby’s,” dearest friend of 20 years, “Melanie,” has changed her lifestyle. Melanie and her husband have become “swingers.” Now when Libby meets her socially, all Melanie can talk about is her new lifestyle -complete with photos. Plus Melanie is very interested in meeting men when they are out together. I don’t like what she and her husband are doing, and I don’t like my wife being exposed to swinging and meeting men. Libby says Melanie is an old friend, and she doesn’t want to end their relationship. She says I have nothing to worry about because she isn’t interested in this lifestyle. The problem is, I still worry, and I’m not comfortable with this. Could you please advise me on what I should do?

. . . Pit
Continued from page A1
The proposed pit has been the center of a yearlong controversy between Trimble and neighboring property owners, who say borough gravel pit regulations wouldn’t adequately protect their homes from the impacts of the proposed gravel mine. Trimble is an owner of Coastal Realty, and his family has been developing and selling property in the area for 40 years. The property, totaling around 40 acres, sits at the bottom of a natural amphitheater, 500 feet from the Anchor River and near several state parks and campgrounds. He said he wants the property’s 40 or so acres to be multiuse, with 27 acres used to mine gravel, and the oceanfront parcels untouched, as a legacy property for his daughters. Trimble and his attorney Stacey Stone were the first to testify at the meeting. He presented a video showing a tour of the property, and the site of the potential pit. The Kenai Peninsula Bor-

headlining duo of Sparrow and Keith J. Smith. Sparrow is originally from Colorado and Smith from southern California, but both now live and create music from their home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The band typically travels as a quartet, with the other two spots being filled by a handful of musical artists. This week, the Resonant Rogues will feature Sparrow on banjo, Smith on guitar, Hannah Mignano on violin and Liz Draper on upright bass. Sparrow and Smith are primary singers as well.
ough Planning Commission rarely denies gravel pit permits, but last July, Trimble’s application to excavate his Anchor Point property was denied after hours of public testimony raised concerns about potential disturbances created by the gravel pit, including impacted views, noise, dust, truck traffic and the property values of adjacent properties. Commissioners who voted to deny the permit said it wouldn’t meet the noise and visual impact conditions even with additional buffers, according to Clarion archives. The commission asked Trimble if he would be willing to implement several voluntary conditions, which aren’t required, but could help minimize impact. Trimble said he would be willing to use a white noise backup alarm to help noise impacts. Trimble said the condition would only apply to his own vehicles, and not machines belonging to contractors. He also agreed to use a rolling berm to alleviate visual impacts. A handful of people spoke in support of Trimble’s application. The majority were
in opposition — many were neighbors, who outlined concerns regarding noise, traffic and visual impacts of the proposed pit. Many of the testifiers questioned borough code that minimizes impacts. Neighbors who live above the proposed pit said a 6-foot berm, a requirement in the code minimizing impact for nearby property owners, wouldn’t come close to screening the pit from people living above the mine. “Where in the code does it say that only some of the neighboring properties need to be protected by buffers and berms of sufficient height and density?” Todd Barben said at the meeting. “The applicant has publicly declared that neighbors who don’t like what they see and hear coming from his mine should utilize window shades, hearing protections and fences. Who makes the decision as to who gets sufficient visual and noise screening as is required in the code, and who gets to pull their shades and wear ear plugs in their own homes for the next 15 years?” After the 15-year lifespan of the pit, Trimble plans to
redevelop the property and build a retirement home for his family. Linda Bruce owns property “practically adjacent” to the proposed gravel pit. She said she bought the property from the Trimbles years ago. “He says in 15 years they’ll rebuild, they’ll make it all great,” Bruce said. “I can tell you right now I may not live long enough to see that reconstituted to something really great, so I don’t want to wait 15 years to see Anchor Point rebuilt to something really great.” Trimble’s efforts to mine the gravel on his property is well within the law, if the permit is granted. But, balancing the rights of property owners and neighbors in unzoned areas can be tricky. For property owners in unzoned areas interested in mining gravel, certain conditions in borough code must be met to get a permit, including buffers, barriers and regulations for when heavy machinery like rockcrushers can be operated. If these conditions are met, permits can be issued, despite how the conditions required in the code adequately protect
neighbors. Bruce asked the commission what the point of public comment was if permits are always granted when conditions are met. “Is there a point to public input?” Bruce said. “Does it really have any bearing on this property? Or are we all just wasting our time because the permit will be granted because conditions are met?” Larry Smith, who owns three gravel pits, supported Trimble’s efforts to extract gravel on his property. In his testimony, he emphasized the importance of gravel in the lives of everyone in the room. “When I was young, man, gravel wasn’t a dirty word,” Smith said. “It seems to have become a dirty word now … Gravel is important in all of our lives. It always has been and always will be. This won’t be a popular comment, but if you don’t want to look at a gravel pit, go buy the land. If you don’t like the ordinance, change the ordinance.” Trimble plans to preserve the original Kyllonen homestead sitting on the property.
Buzz Kyllonen, who has developed property in the area for 40 years and has owned and operated 12 gravel pits, spoke in support of Trimble’s efforts. “We should all be supporting the Trimbles for opening up some priceless resources like gravel,” he said. After public testimony was taken, commissioners discussed what they heard. Commissioner Paul Whitney said the application was one of the more unique applications the body has seen in five years. After listening to hours of testimony and reading hundreds of letters, he said he maintains the decision to oppose the application. Commissioner Cindy Ecklund also seemed opposed. “A gravel pit in the middle of a recreational and residential area just doesn’t seem right,” she said. “I know we need these, but not in the middle of a recreation and residential area.” As the time neared midnight, the group agreed to make a decision at their next meeting, June 24.
Self-described as playing a “folk noir” style, Sparrow said the Rogues were influenced by folk music from America and Europe and inspired by “jazz manouche,” a style of swing music that was pioneered by folk legend Django Reinhardt in the 1930s. “The combination of rhythm and melodies is such an incredible mixing of cultures,” she said. Sparrow’s work on the banjo delivers a mix of old Appalachian folk and “Euro folk” styles, she said, adding that the unmistakable twangy sound of the banjo delivers a global melting pot of styles to the group’s music. “The banjo came from Africa but it was developed and changed and adjusted
in the South and Caribbean, and mixed with all these different cultures,” Sparrow said. “The melodies are also influenced by traditional English and Irish tunes.” Sparrow said the lyrics and songwriting that she and Smith tackle are often based on contemporary themes and explore a wide range of emotions. “When we perform, we try to go through the whole array of feelings,” she said. “Our songs are filled with deep, sad feelings and experiences, while others are full of joy of just hanging with friends or walking in the woods.” Sparrow said the experience of playing in Alaska last summer made the decision to return easy.
“I think Alaska loved us, and we wanted to come right back,” she said. “We were thinking about this trip when we finished up last year.” The Rogues are scheduled to play a nine-town tour in Alaska, including gigs in Homer on June 15, Seldovia on June 16, Seward on June 20, the Hope Solstice Festival on June 21 and Seward again on June 22. From there, the band will go on tour in the United Kingdom with 17 appearances over 24 days in July. Opening for the Resonant Rogues will be a local Soldotna group, the Derek Poppin Trio. Derek Poppin is a homegrown Soldotna guitarist who formed a group with fellow musicians Garrett Mayer and Joel Delon
about five years ago. Poppin said that he and his group, playing original rhythm and blues music along with the occasional cover, have performed at the Soldotna music series “just about every year” since it began. Poppin said he is excited to unveil a number of new songs at tonight’s concert, including a a cover of “Besame Mucho” played in a surf-rock style. “It’s really cool to have this opportunity and to open for a nationally recognized band like Resonant Rogues,” Poppin said, thanking the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce and the Levitt Foundation for putting on the series. “Live music is something that the people here have been hungry for.” This week’s lawn activ-
ity — which is catered to the younger crowd and is a new feature for the music series this year — is provided by the Homer Electric Association. Andy Heuiser, events and programs director for the Soldotna Chamber, said that HEA will be making “solar ovens” with the kids and toasting s’mores inside of them. The activity will take place from 5 to 6 p.m. on the lawn of Soldotna Creek Park, with the Derek Poppin Trio hitting the stage at 6 p.m. The Levitt AMP Soldotna Music Series takes place from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. every Wednesday at Soldotna Creek Park through the summer. Tonight’s concert will be the second of 12.
