In the news Man killed, trooper injured in shooting at Fairbanks home FAIRBANKS — A man is dead and an Alaska State trooper was injured early Saturday after a shooting in a Fairbanks home, authorities said. Shawn Ray Wilson, 48, of Fairbanks pulled out a weapon as troopers attempted to take him into custody about 5 a.m., Col. Barry Wilson, director of the State Troopers, told the Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner. The troopers were trying to serve a search warrant and a $100,000 arrest warrant on charges of forgery and theft, Wilson said. “As troopers attempted to take Mr. Wilson into custody, he pulled a weapon and shot at and hit a trooper attempting to use less than lethal means of force on Mr. Wilson,” he said at a news conference. A second trooper shot at the suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene, Wilson said. The injured trooper was treated for his injuries at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital and released, he said.
Sealaska Heritage announces participation in genetics study ANCHORAGE— Sealaska Heritage Institute officials say they are collaborating with a university that is studying how the DNA of indigenous people might have been affected by trauma linked to European colonization. Researchers from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign will be at the Juneau-based institute next week for the project focusing on Tlingit people with ties to Hoonah. Another research trip to Hoonah is planned for later this year. Institute officials say researchers anticipate recruiting 50 volunteers to give blood samples and take a survey. Participants will receive $50 Amazon gift cards. Officials say individual information by participants will be anonymous. Officials say the institute is consulting on the effort with the Hoonah Indian Association and the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium. — Associated Press

Celebrating with Pride 2nd annual Soldotna march draws a crowd
By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
The central peninsula may have a smaller population than Anchorage or Juneau, but it’s still a community with a lot of Pride. This Saturday, nearly 100 people showed up to the Soldotna Sports Complex and Soldotna Creek Park for the second annual Two Spirit Pride March and Celebration. The event, which aimed to show solidarity with the LGBTQ community, commemorated the June 28, 1969 New York City Stonewall Riots that marked the beginning of the modern LGBTQ rights movement. Last year was the first time a Pride March was held in Soldotna. That event was organized by Audre Gifford with the Kenaitze Tribe’s Yini-

The Swan Lake fire in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge shows no signs of slowing down and reached 12,564 acres in size as of Friday evening. The fire continued to spread mostly to the north and east at a rate of 1/2 mile per hour, according to a June 15 update from the Division of Forestry. Firefighters were able to prevent it from spreading toward the Sterling Highway. The northeast perimeter continues to be monitored by personnel from the Division of Forestry as hand crews work on protection lines for the southwest perimeter.

Alaska legislators face pressure for PFD decision By Becky Bohrer Associated Press
JUNEAU — Alaska legislators face mounting pressure to decide the annual dividend paid to residents from Alaska’s oil-wealth fund, with Gov. Mike Dunleavy threatening additional special sessions for anything but a full payout.
The amount expected to be paid this fall is unresolved as lawmakers grapple with how the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend program should look going forward. To Dunleavy, it’s simple: follow a longstanding calculation in law, which would equate to checks of around $3,000 each, and
send to a vote of the people proposed changes to the dividend. He told reporters Friday he’s determined to get a full dividend this year, even if that means repeated special sessions. He spoke in his hometown of Wasilla, outside a middle school, his recommended venue for a July special session.
A governor can call a special session, but legislators don’t have to act on any of the agenda items. Dunleavy’s predecessor, Gov. Bill Walker, found that out when he repeatedly asked lawmakers to consider taxes to help address the state’s budget deficit. Legislators also can call themselves into a spe-
cial session. In 2015, they snubbed Walker’s call to meet in Juneau by holding their own special session in Anchorage. Some legislators hope a legislative working group can provide a path forward on dividends. Others are skeptical. House Speaker Bryce See PFD, page A2
Kite Festival debuts with high-flying fun By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion
Dozens of kiters hit the beach on Saturday to fly the friendly skies. The weather was a little cloudy, but there was just enough wind to keep all sorts of kites in the air during the first-ever Kenai Kite Festival. Kids were given free kites thanks to donations from Walmart, and everyone had the opportunity to build their own kite at the Kenai Library the Friday before the event with materials donated by Spenard Builder’s Supply. Some kites were in the shapes of dragons or manta rays, while others depicted cartoon characters and superheroes. One man, Milt Bristow from Nikiski, even had his kite connected to a fishing pole in order to reel it back in easier. The event featured free hot dogs and T-shirts, as well as demonstrations from Alaskiters, a kite-flying club based in Anchorage.

Authorities: Man offered money to ‘rape and murder’ Alaskan ANCHORAGE (AP) — An Indiana man implicated in the murder of an Alaska teenager had promised millions of dollars to the teens who killed her in exchange for images of the killing, the Anchorage Daily News reported Saturday. Court documents say that investigators believe Darin Schilmiller of New Salisbury, Indiana, posed as a millionaire named “Tyler” online and offered 18-yearold Denali Brehmer $9 million or more to “rape and
murder someone in Alaska,” the newspaper reported. Brehmer was supposed to send photos and videos of the killing back to Schilmiller, according to the court documents. 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 her bound with duct tape in the Eklutna River near Thunderbird Falls. She had been shot in the back of
the head. On Tuesday, federal prosecutors announced the arrest of Schilmiller on child pornography charges. He is charged with production 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 reSee MONEY, page A2
New Katmai bridge aimed at limiting bear encounters By DAN JOLING Associated Press
ANCHORAGE — The National Park Service has completed a project to relieve an Alaska traffic jam. A new elevated bridge and boardwalk across the Brooks River in Katmai National Park and Preserve has replaced a riverlevel bridge that was often closed to human tourists because it was occupied by locals — brown bears. The replacement for the old floating bridge was more than a decade in the
making. “Each phase of the project (planning, designing, project development, funding, and construction) took time and involved diverse stakeholder groups,” said park Superintendent Mark Sturm in an email response to questions. Bears catching salmon are a huge draw for the park on the Alaska Peninsula, the arm of land extending from Alaska’s southwest corner toward the Aleutian Islands. The park service estimates that See BEAR, page A2

Edgmon said he thinks the group’s eventual recommendations will be seriously considered. The Dillingham independent said many legislators believe that if they want to put a longer-term solution, they have to deal with it this year. “To do it next year, in an election year, I think would be virtually impossible,” he said. Soldotna Republican Sen. Peter Micciche said a durable solution “is unlikely to be delivered without a serious formal consideration
agency. A popular venue is Brooks Camp, where the park has three bear-viewing platforms. One is at a waterfall where fish concentrate before trying to leap past the barrier and hungry bears to reach natal streams to spawn. Visitors must cross the river to reach all three platforms. The old bridge fre-
quently closed when there was a “bear jam,” said Park Service spokeswoman Karen Garthwait. Rangers enforce a 50yard separation between bears and people. If a bear was on the bridge or close to it in the river, rangers would close the bridge until the bear moved, Garthwait said by email. Bears were not shooed
away, Garthwait said. A Park Service mandate to preserve bears’ natural feeding areas and behavior gave bears the right of way. The new bridge is 1,200 feet long and varies in height from 8 to 10 feet, depending on topography, Garthwait said, allowing bears to pass below. The cost was $5.6 million. The bridge features bear-proof gates on both
ends. Salmon begin arriving in June. Dominant bears take over choice fishing spots. Cubs are vulnerable to be killed and eaten by big males. The most bears typically are seen along the river in mid-July, according to the Park Service. In August, fish are not as concentrated and bears disperse. However,
after salmon spawn, weaken and die, bears return in high numbers in September. Bears at that time catch dead and dying fish in the slowermoving lower river, according to the agency. The new bridge will give visitors an additional platform on which to watch wildlife. The Park Service plans a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the bridge on June 29.
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. Another adult and male and female juveniles
are charged with conspiracy in the case. The Daily News reported Saturday that the teens told police each of them was supposed to receive a share of Schilmiller’s promised reward for their role in the killing. During a search of Brehmer’s phone, police reported finding sexually explicit photos and text
messages to Schilmiller discussing them. Brehmer told police she shot video of a girl who was 8 or 9 and another who is 15 and sent them to Schilmiller. In interviews, she referred to him as “Tyler” from Kansas. Hais, who is part of the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force, said in the criminal complaint that
investigators determined “Tyler” was Schilmiller. Text messages on Brehmer’s phone show Schilmiller directing Brehmer on how she should assault the older girl, authorities said. Chloe Martin, spokeswoman for the federal prosecutor’s office in Anchorage, has said that Schilmiller will be extradited to Alaska.
no retardants are being used because of the fire’s proximity to an anadromous stream. According to the update, retardants could be used if the fire poses a direct threat to infrastructure, which is not the case at this time. Light rain is expected throughout the weekend,
but not enough to slow fire activity. Meteorologists expect gusts of wind coming from the southeast at up to 20 miles per hour that may challenge the current fire management strategies in place. Motorists should watch for fire crews and vehicles
entering the Sterling Highway near Mile 82 and 92 between Sterling and Cooper Landing. On Saturday, an air quality advisory was issued by the Division of Air Quality for parts of Southcentral Alaska due to persistent smoke from the Swan Lake fire. According
to the advisory, smoke from the fire is trapped below low-level clouds and air quality will range between “good” and “unhealthy” for the duration that the advisory is in effect in the communities of Sterling, Soldotna, Kenai and Nikiski. The advisory also cau-
tions that any area immediately downwind of the fire will experience hazardous levels of smoke, especially overnight and into the early morning. For more information on the air quality advisory or the Swan Lake fire, visit www.kpboem.com.
on how the people of Alaska feel about a change.” Micciche also noted Dunleavy can veto bills he doesn’t like. Lawmakers have the option of overriding a veto if they can muster sufficient votes. During a just-ended special session, the Senate by one vote failed to pass a full dividend, with a prominent supporter absent. It later failed to revive the bill for another vote. The Senate included a full payout in its version of the operating budget. Senate President Cathy Giessel has said members of her GOPled majority have expressed willingness to support a full dividend this year if it’s
coupled with changes going forward. The House soundly rejected a full payout. But minority Republicans, who pushed for one as part of debate on a state infrastructure budget, refused to offer the necessary support for key funding provisions for that budget, leaving that, too, unresolved. Dunleavy said if the dividend is resolved, he thinks that budget can come together quickly. Sen. Bill Wielechowski, an Anchorage Democrat, said Dunleavy needs to work with legislators. “There’s lots of compromises that could be out there. But they’re compro-
mises, and if everybody stays hardened in their positions, we’ll never get to that,” he said. Wielechowski has argued the debate isn’t complete without looking at things such as oil-tax changes. Dunleavy sees room to reduce the operating budget, which he told reporters recently needs to be smaller. The dividend for years was paid without a hitch, using a formula based on an average of fund income over five years. In 2012, residents received $878. In 2015, they got $2,072. In 2016, Walker reduced the amount available for the checks, an action upheld by the state Supreme Court af-
ter Wielechowski and others sued. The court’s decision said the dividend absent a constitutional amendment must compete for funding like other state programs. Checks the last two years have been capped at $1,100 and $1,600. Some legislators, frustrated by what they see as arbitrarily picking check sizes, argue the existing calculation should be followed. The earnings reserve was valued at $19 billion at the end of April. But some worry the Legislature, which spent billions in savings as it struggled to address the deficit, will use the earnings reserve
as a piggy bank. Last year, lawmakers began using fund earnings, long used to pay dividends, to help cover government costs. A law passed last year seeks to limit withdrawals from earnings for dividends and government. Whether lawmakers adhere to that limit remains unclear. “Hopefully the public’s seeing the urgency of the need to revisit the formula, because there’s only so much cash,” said Senate Finance Committee Co-chair Sen. Bert Stedman, a Sitka Republican. He said he’s concerned that Alaskans have been “led to believe that we can just spend out of the earnings reserve and not worry about it.”

most 60 people showed up to the first march. Last year’s event consisted of only a march, and its success motivated the organizers to go for something bigger this year. “The only problem was that we showed up to the park and everyone was like, ‘now what?’” Wilson said on Saturday. “So this year we wanted to set up an event afterwards where, at least for a day, we all have a chance to be ourselves.” Thanks to sponsorships from local businesses, as well as individual donations, Soldotna Pride in the Park featured local artisans, vendors and food trucks all showing their support and showcasing their wares for Soldotna’s LGBTQ community and its allies. Byrd said that one donor even paid for gas money so that two Anchorage drag queens, Mrs. Sativa and Salmon Chowder, could come down to the peninsula and put on a drag show. The Pride celebration ended with a “So You Want to be a Drag Queen” pageant, in which participants could put on costumes and makeup and show off their looks. Michelle Vasquez, who has participated in the march twice now, said the event had an even bigger turnout than last year — and that included a few protesters this time around. “There were a few people holding signs across the street, maybe six or seven, but they didn’t yell or say anything to us,” Vasquez said. “Basically, we just ignored them and did our own thing.” Julien Jolivette is from Wasilla and came to Soldotna to participate in the march on behalf of Identity, an LGBTQ advocacy group in the state. “The turnout was fantastic, and the experience was very intimate for a lot

Thanks to the financial support from the community, Byrd was also able to acquire a shuttle for the day, and periodically drove marchers back to their vehicles at the Soldotna Sports Complex. Byrd said that because of the contributions from the community, she and the other organizers al-
ready have some seed money to put toward next year’s event. “This is all a grassroots effort, so all the support from the community is really encouraging,” Byrd said. “Our goal is to show people in the LGBTQ community that they’re not alone, and I think we’re succeeding.”

What others say
Tech merger would bolster competition, networks Ten Democratic state Attorneys General on Tuesday sued to block T-Mobile’s merger with Sprint, and the timing was no coincidence. The Justice Department will soon make its decision on the merger, and Democrats, unions and big business are lining up to defeat it at the expense of America’s leadership in 5G telecom networks. The State AGs say the merger “would eliminate Sprint as a competitor and reduce the number of (mobile network operators) with nationwide networks in the United States from four to three.” But a market of three strong wireless players would be more competitive than a de facto duopoly led by AT&T and Verizon. TMobile has 79 million customers while Sprint boasts 54 million compared to Verizon (118 million) and AT&T (94 million). The Big Two need a strong competitor, not two weaklings that may not survive for long. More spectrum improves connectivity and boosts download speeds, which helps the two giants attract more customers. With more revenue, they can procure more spectrum at government auctions to improve their networks. AT&T also came into a sweet spectrum deal two years ago when the Commerce Department selected it to build a national emergency network for firstresponders. For years T-Mobile and Sprint have been slashing prices to compete with the Big Two. As the state AGs note, the average cost per megabyte of data declined by between 72% and 83% between 2013 and 2017. The problem is that all of the carriers have piled up debt that could retard their 5G build-out. AT&T and Verizon have used much of their cash paying for content acquisitions rather than investing in 5G. AT&T has curbed price cuts to pay down $171 billion in debt from buying DirecTV and Time Warner. Verizon has $113 billion in debt and is writing off its misconceived Yahoo and AOL acquisitions that were supposed to help it compete with Google. While AT&T and Verizon have begun to roll out 5G service in some markets, T-Mobile and Sprint lack the complementary spectrum and capital to compete nationwide. So there’s less impetus for AT&T and Verizon to accelerate their 5G plans, improve efficiency or redirect misallocated capital from more glamorous media plays. The Democratic AGs claim to be standing for competition, but in opposing the T-MobileSprint merger they’re entrenching the Big Two. It’s worth recalling that competition from Sprint and MCI is what finally broke AT&T’s monopoly on long-distance service in the 1980s. Long-distance prices fell rapidly. Sprint and T-Mobile have already committed to deploying a 5G network that would cover 97% of the U.S. population within three years including 85% of rural Americans. They have also agreed to maintain current prices for at least three years, which is three years longer than either Verizon or AT&T. The AG warnings about price increases are false. As ever, there’s a union-Democratic Party merger here. The Communications Workers of America, who represent AT&T and Verizon workers, oppose the tie between the nonunion Sprint and T-Mobile. The last thing they want is a stronger nonunion competitor. The union is a big financier of Democrats, and it endorsed the AGs in coordinated fashion on Tuesday. All of this lobbying is aimed directly at persuading Justice antitrust chief Makan Delrahim to oppose the deal. Justice attorneys have been demanding divestitures with perhaps an eye to recreating a fourth wireless carrier. Cable companies that aim to launch plans with wireless carriers’ spectrum — Altice already has a contract with Sprint — have criticized the
News and Politics
Debate lineups: Biden, Sanders on 2nd night, Warren on 1st By DAVID BAUDER AP Media Writer
NEW YORK — NBC set the lineup for its two-night debate of 2020 presidential contenders later this month, with a top-heavy second session that will pit former Vice President Joe Biden onstage against 2016 Democratic runner-up, Bernie Sanders, the youthful Mayor Pete Buttigieg and California Sen. Kamala Harris. The first night, June 26 in Miami, is headlined by Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Cory Booker of New Jersey, along with former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke. Representatives of 20 campaigns gathered in a conference room at NBC headquarters Friday to watch slips of paper with candidates’ names picked out of two boxes. There were separate boxes with the names of candidates polling at above or below 2 percent — an attempt to make sure most of the lesser-known candidates were not grouped together and given the stigma of a minor-league debate. Still, when four of the six toppolling candidates landed on June 27, including the clear front-runner in Biden, that night was quickly seen as the one with the biggest stakes. Being paired with Biden, 76, and Sanders, 77, gives Buttigieg an opportunity to emphasize the “next generation” theme that the South Bend, Indiana, mayor has been touting. At 37, Buttigieg is the youngest of the leading contenders. The six female contenders will be evenly divided between the two nights. The two African American candidates, Booker and Harris, will also be on separate nights. Ideologically, two favorites of the party’s liberal wing, Sanders and Warren, won’t
be going head-to-head, either. Among the rest of the field, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee could find benefits in drawing the first night with fewer front-runners to emphasize his climate change-oriented effort. Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who has been among the most aggressive critics of Sanders’ democratic socialism, will have a chance to make those points to him face-to-face. NBC will face its own test, to see if it makes compelling programming out of crowded, fractious stages on the opening nights of debate season. The debate will be shown both nights in prime time, 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., on the broadcast network, as well as on MSNBC and Telemundo, and it will be streamed on various platforms. NBC personalities Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie, Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow and Jose Diaz-Balart will all be featured. Featured on June 26 in Miami will be Warren, Booker, O’Rourke, Inslee, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio. The next night’s lineup has Biden, Sanders, Harris, Buttigieg, Hickenlooper, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, author Marianne Williamson, entrepreneur Andrew Yang and Rep. Eric Swalwell of California. “This is a terrific lineup because there will be a real debate over the key set of choices in this Democratic primary,” said Sanders’ campaign manager Faiz Shakir. Already some campaigns began fundraising off the debate lineups.
Biden’s, Booker’s, Klobuchar’s and O’Rourke’s campaigns are each hosting a drawing offering a trip for two to Miami, including flights, a night in a hotel and tickets to the debate, for a lucky donor. Buttigieg’s campaign sent out an email saying that appearing in “the first Democratic primary debate will allow many new people to hear Pete for the first time.” “Please consider making a donation today to make sure we’re as strong as we can be heading into the debate,” the Buttigieg email said. Delaney’s campaign said he was “pleased to be sharing the debate stage with many strong candidates, particularly Senator Warren who, like me, is talking about new ideas. I look forward to a debate on issues and solutions, not personality and politics.” Advisers of several leading campaigns have argued that debates are, for their candidates, as much about avoiding bad moments as they are about making any gains in the race. For the rest of the field, the national stage is a chance for that rare viral moment that elevates a struggling campaign. At least one Republican veteran of crowded primary fights warned Democrats against putting too much stock in debates with so many candidates. “I’ve talked to some campaigns who say, ‘Our plan is to do well on the debate stage,’ but that’s like saying you plan to get struck by lightning,’” said John Weaver, a Republican adviser to John McCain’s presidential runs and more recently to then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s 2016 effort. Debates become more important, Weaver said, “as this gets whittled down.”
Democrats favor more access to capital for black businesses CHARLESTON, S.C. — Four Democrats vying for their party’s presidential nomination honed in on the economic concerns of the black community during a forum Saturday in South Carolina, a state where nonwhite voters will play a major role in next year’s primary election. Appearing on stage one at a time, Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke all stressed the need to increase access to capital for black business owners as part of a broader effort to address wealth inequality.
Warren expounded on what she’s called her tax on “ultra-millionaires,” which she says would fund her education proposals, including student debt cancellation for many and additional funding for historically black colleges and universities. “It’s about building opportunity,” Warren said at the forum sponsored by the Black Economic Alliance, noting that she feels her plan would be met with support even from some Republicans. “They understand that this economy is badly broken.” Warren opened her remarks in Charleston with a moment of remembrance for the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church shooting, four years ago this weekend, in which nine black churchgoers were killed during
Bible study. Buttigieg focused on increasing the number of federal government contracts awarded to black-owned businesses, saying this would provide a major boost. Asked what he would do to increase his outreach to black voters — an area where Buttigieg has acknowledged he has work to do — he said he’s making an effort to get to know them. “We have to have an authentic encounter with people,” Buttigieg said, noting that events like the forum were a piece of that agenda. O’Rourke said he would push for more affordable housing options, giving a nod to Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin’s efforts in the state capital.
deal for thwarting competition. But cable companies merely want to fortify their regional monopolies, especially in rural areas where a merged TMobile-Sprint could compete. While the media obsess about Big Tech and antitrust, the T-Mobile-Sprint merger
may be more consequential for America’s future. More of the world economy is becoming digital every day, and 5G is essential to capturing the benefits of artificial intelligence and much more. The U.S. can’t afford to fall behind by depending on a
unionized duopoly. While Democratic AGs and unions may not care if 5G plods along, anyone who wants to preserve America’s global competitiveness should.

Migrants complain conditions at US camps Protesters demand firing of
cop who pulled gun on child
By CEDAR ATTANASIO Associated Press
EL PASO, Texas — The Trump administration is facing growing complaints from migrants about severe overcrowding, meager food and other hardships at border holding centers, with some people at an encampment in El Paso being forced to sleep on the bare ground during dust storms. The Border Network for Human Rights issued a report Friday based on dozens of testimonials of immigrants over the past month and a half, providing a snapshot of cramped conditions and prolonged stays in detention amid a record surge of migrant families coming into the U.S. from Central America. The report comes a day after an advocate described finding a teenage mother cradling a premature baby inside a Border Patrol processing center in Texas. The advocate said the baby should have been in a hospital, not a facility where adults are kept in large fenced-in sections that critics describe as cages. “The state of human rights in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands is grave and is only getting worse,” the immigrant rights group said in its report. “People are dying because of what is happening.” Five immigrant children have died since late last year after being detained by the Border Patrol, including a flu-stricken teenager who was found dead in a facility migrants refer to as the “icebox”

because of the temperatures inside. Customs and Border Protection responded to the complaints by saying: “Allegations are not facts. If there is an issue it is best to contact CBP directly. In many cases the matter can be resolved immediately.” The agency also cited its response to a critical inspector general’s report last month, in which it said the government is devoted to treating migrants in its custody “with the utmost dignity and respect.” The Trump administration has blamed the worsening crisis on inaction by Congress. Many of the complaints center on El Paso, where the inspector general found severe overcrowding inside a processing center. A cell
designed for a dozen people was crammed with 76, and migrants had to stand on the toilets. With indoor facilities overcrowded, the Border Patrol has kept some immigrants outside and in tents near a bridge in El Paso with nothing but a Mylar foil blanket. Others have been kept in an empty parking lot, where migrants huddled underneath tarps and foil blankets repurposed as shade covers against the sweltering heat. A professor who visited two weeks ago said it resembled a “human dog pound.” The Border Patrol responded by adding additional shade structures, but migrants are still kept outside in temperatures approaching 100 degrees.
Migrants in El Paso and elsewhere also complained of inadequate food such as a single burrito and a cup of water per day. Women said they were denied feminine hygiene products. Another complaint is that migrants are kept in detention beyond the 72-hour limit set by Customs and Border Protection. Some reported being held for 30 days or more, and one told The Associated Press she had been in detention for around 45 days. The teenage mother with the premature baby, for example, spent nine days in Border Patrol custody after crossing the Rio Grande with her newborn, according to a legal advocate who visited the girl in a McAllen, Texas, processing center.
WOODS CROSS, Utah (AP) — About 100 protesters gathered outside a police agency in northern Utah to demand an officer who pulled his gun on a 10-year-old child last week be fired. The crowd carried Black Lives Matter signs Friday evening and others protesting the incident, including one that said “Hey Cops! Don’t pull guns at our kids.” The officer’s actions drew criticism after Jerri Hrubes said the white police officer pulled his gun on her son, DJ, who is black, while he was playing on his grandmother’s front lawn June 6 in a state where African Americans make up just 1.4% of the population, according to U.S. Census figures. Black Lives Matter in Utah founder Lex Scott said her group was inspired to organize the protest after learning the officer would stay on the job. “I do believe it was a hate crime,” Scott said. “That child was targeted because of his skin color.” Woods Cross Police Chief Chad Soffe said last Monday that officials don’t intend to fire the unidentified officer. He said the officer used good judgment and mistook the boy for a potential suspect during a pursuit of armed suspects. “We want to learn from this, we don’t want people to be traumatized by our efforts to protect the community,” Soffe said.
Hrubes has said her son had no toys or objects in his hands. The officer told DJ to put his hands in the air and get on the ground and told him not to ask questions. After Jerri Hrubes confronted the officer, he got in his car and left, she said. Soffe said the officer was part of a group chasing suspects after authorities received reports of a shooting and were told the suspects were black, Hispanic or Polynesian, he said. Scott’s group was joined Friday evening by members of other civil rights advocacy groups, including, Utahns Against Police Brutality and Mormon Women for Ethical Government, though the latter group has not demanded that the officer be fired. Heather White, an attorney working with the police department, said Friday that the Utah Department of Public Safety will investigate the Woods Cross police officer and evaluate whether he acted with racial bias or unnecessary force and whether any crimes were committed. Protesters called for more police officer accountability and better training for how to deescalate situations and identify bias. A lawyer working with Hrubes said the mother is pleased that the state will investigate. But Scott and another protester said they are concerned the investigation won’t be fair.
Trump blames Iran for tanker attacks but calls for talks By ROBERT BURNS and LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has blamed Iran for attacks on oil tankers near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, but he also held out hope that implicit U.S. threats to use force will yield talks with the Islamic Republic as the Pentagon considers beefing up defenses in the Persian Gulf area. A day after explosions blew holes in two oil tankers just outside Iran’s territorial waters, rattling international oil markets, the administration seemed caught between pressure to punish Iran and reassure Washington’s Gulf Arab allies without drawing the U.S. closer to war. “Iran did it,” Trump said Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends.” He
didn’t offer evidence, but the U.S. military released video it said showed Iran’s Revolutionary Guard removing an unexploded mine from one of the oil tankers targeted near the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting Tehran wanted to cover its tracks. By pointing the finger at Iran, Trump was keeping a public spotlight on an adversary he accuses of terrorism but also has invited to negotiate. The approach is similar to his diplomacy with North Korea, which has quieted talk of war but not yet achieved his goal of nuclear disarmament. Iran has shown little sign of backing down, creating uncertainty about how far the Trump administration can go with its campaign of increasing pressure through sanctions. Iran denied any involvement in the attacks and accused Washington of waging an “Iranophobic campaign” of
economic warfare. A U.S. Navy team on Friday was aboard one of the tankers, the Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous, collecting forensic evidence, according to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive operation. Apparently alluding to the U.S. video, Trump said Iran’s culpability had been “exposed.” He did not say what he intended to do about it but suggested “very tough” U.S. sanctions, including efforts to strangle Iranian oil revenues, would have the desired effect. “They’ve been told in very strong terms we want to get them back to the table,” Trump said. Just a day earlier, the president took the opposite view, tweeting that it was “too soon to even think about making a deal” with Iran’s leaders. “They are not ready, and neither are we!”
Trump last year withdrew the United States from an international agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear program that was signed in 2015 under his predecessor, President Barack Obama. He has since then reinstated economic sanctions aimed at compelling the Iranians to return to the negotiating table. Just last month the U.S. ended waivers that allowed some countries to continue buying Iranian oil, a move that is starving Iran of oil income and that coincided with what U.S. officials called a surge in intelligence pointing to Iranian preparations for attacks against U.S. forces and interests in the Gulf region. In response to those intelligence warnings, the U.S. on May 5 announced it was accelerating the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier battle group to the Gulf region. It also sent four nuclear-
Guam Catholic group protests recruitment of abortion doctors HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — A Catholic group has protested the governor of Guam’s plan to recruit abortion providers to the U.S. territory where no doctors are currently willing to terminate pregnancies. Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero’s recruitment idea has drawn criticism and support from residents, the Pacific Daily News reported Friday. The Democratic governor told The Associated Press she is concerned women could be forced to seek unsafe and illegal procedures after the last abortion provider retired last year. One resident told the Pacific Daily News that recruiting an abortion doctor will make Guam a better place. “If the governor makes it happen, it’ll truly show that she meant it when she said she’ll make Guam a better place,” said 20-year-old Kimmi Yee, who was born and raised on Guam. “I’d be glad to know that women have the ability to choose and will be able to do it safely.” A Catholic anti-abortion group protested the recruit-

ment idea at the governor’s office on Friday. Patricia Perry, co-chair of the group, sent invitations encouraging people to attend a prayer rally. “If the governor is not convinced, we’ll do other measures to further our cause,” Perry said. “We will not stop
until all abortion is outlawed and all anti-life laws will be abolished.” Part of the invitation reads, “Say no to recruiting doctors who will kill our unborn children! Say yes to recruiting doctors who help us save lives!” Jayne Flores, the director
of the Bureau of Women’s Affairs, said she is meeting with Public Health officials to talk about a plan to recruit a doctor to provide abortion services. The administration is also working to provide greater access to birth control to reduce unwanted pregnancies.
capable B-52 bombers to Qatar and has beefed up its defenses in the region by deploying more Patriot air defense systems. Officials said that Pentagon deliberations about possibly
sending more military resources to the region, including more Patriot missile batteries, could be accelerated by Thursday’s dramatic attack on the oil tankers.
Today in History Today is Sunday, June 16, the 167th day of 2019. There are 198 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 16, 1858, accepting the Illinois Republican Party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate, Abraham Lincoln said the slavery issue had to be resolved, declaring, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” On this date: In 1567, Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned in Lochleven Castle in Scotland. (She escaped almost a year later but ended up imprisoned again.) In 1883, baseball’s first “Ladies’ Day” took place as the New York Gothams offered women free admission to a game against the Cleveland Spiders. (New York won, 5-2.) In 1903, Ford Motor Co. was incorporated. In 1911, IBM had its beginnings as the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Co. which was incorporated in New York State. In 1932, President Herbert Hoover and Vice President Charles Curtis were renominated at the Republican National Convention in Chicago. In 1933, the National Industrial Recovery Act became law with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s signature. (The Act was later struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.) The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. was founded as President Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933. In 1944, George Stinney, a 14-year-old black youth, was electrocuted by the state of South Carolina for the murders of two white girls, Betty June Binnicker, 11, and Mary Emma Thames, 7. In 1963, the world’s first female space traveler, Valentina Tereshkova 26, was launched into orbit by the Soviet Union aboard Vostok 6; Tereshkova spent 71 hours in flight, circling the Earth 48 times before returning safely. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter and Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos signed the instruments of ratification for the Panama Canal treaties during a ceremony in Panama City. In 1996, Russian voters went to the polls in their first independent presidential election; the result was a runoff between President Boris Yeltsin (the eventual winner) and Communist challenger Gennady Zyuganov. Sportscaster Mel Allen died in Greenwich, Connecticut, at age 83. In 2015, real estate mogul Donald Trump launched his successful campaign to become president of the United States with a speech at Trump Tower in Manhattan. In 2017, President Donald Trump acknowledged for the first time that he was under federal investigation as part of the expanding probe into Russia’s election meddling as he lashed out at a top Justice Department official overseeing the inquiry. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama met with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak at the White House; afterward, Obama declared North Korea a “grave threat” to the world and pledged the U.S. and its allies would aggressively enforce fresh penalties against the nuclear-armed nation. Sen. John Ensign of Nevada, a leading Republican mentioned as a potential presidential candidate, admitted he’d had an extramarital affair with a campaign staff member. Federal health regulators warned consumers to stop using Zicam Cold Remedy nasal gel and related products because they could permanently damage the sense of smell. Five years ago: President Barack Obama notified Congress that up to 275 troops could be sent to Iraq to provide support and security for U.S. personnel and the American Embassy in Baghdad. A divided Supreme Court sided with gun control groups and the Obama administration, ruling that the federal government can strictly enforce laws that ban a “straw” purchaser from buying a gun for someone else. One year ago: China announced 25 percent tariffs on $34 billion in U.S. imports, including soybeans and beef, in response to President Donald Trump’s tariff hike on a similar amount of Chinese goods; China also scrapped agreements to narrow its trade surplus with the United States.

Explosions rock Somalia’s capital
Strong quake hits island chain off New Zealand; no tsunami
By ABDI GULED Associated Press
MOGADISHU, Somalia — A pair of explosions rocked Somalia’s capital and left 11 people dead, the country’s police chief said Saturday, as the al-Qaidalinked extremist group alShabab claimed responsibility. Another 25 people were wounded, Gen. Bashir Abdi Mohamed told reporters in Mogadishu. He said the first car bomb went off near a security checkpoint for the presidential palace and was responsible for nine deaths. The second car bomb killed the driver and his accomplice near a checkpoint on the road to the heavily fortified airport, he said. Al-Shabab, which often targets the capital, said the blasts were meant to strike the first line of security checkpoints for the airport and palace.

ing two women, a passenger and two men, some of whom were elderly,” witness Hussein Mohamed told the AP. “This is really very terrible.” Al-Shabab was responsible for the horrific truck bombing in Mogadishu in October 2017 that killed more than 500 people in one of the world’s deadliest ex-
tremist attacks since 9/11 . The United States military has dramatically increased the number of airstrikes against al-Shabab in the past couple of years, seeking to limit the territory the group controls in central and southern Somalia and make it more difficult for fighters to circulate. In a report to the United
Nations Security Council circulated last month, U.N. chief Antonio Guterres noted an increase in security operations “and a large number of airstrikes targeting al-Shabab training bases and assembly points” that were deemed to have degraded its operating capability and freedom of movement.
Hong Kong leader delays unpopular bill By ELAINE KURTENBACH and CHRISTOPHER BODEEN Associated Press
HONG KONG — Embattled Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam sought to quell public anger Saturday by shelving an unpopular extradition bill that has highlighted apprehension about relations with mainland China, but opponents of the measure said it was not enough. Activists said they were still planning a mass protest for Sunday, a week after hundreds of thousands marched to demand Lam drop the legislation, which many fear would undermine freedoms enjoyed by this former British colony but not elsewhere in China. The battle over the proposal to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance to allow some suspects to face trial in mainland Chinese courts has evolved into Hong Kong’s
Around the World
most severe political test since the Communist Party-ruled mainland took control in 1997 with a promise not to interfere with the city’s civil liberties and courts. Critics said Lam should withdraw the plan for good, resign and apologize for police use of potentially lethal force during clashes with protesters on Wednesday. “Democrats in Hong Kong simply cannot accept this suspension decision,” said lawmaker Claudia Mo. “Because the suspension is temporary. The pain is still there.” The decision was “too little, too late,” she said. “Hong Kong people have been lied to so many times,” said Bonny Leung, a leader of the Civil Human Rights Front, one of the groups that has helped organize the demonstrations. Lam has said the legislation is needed if Hong Kong to uphold justice, meet its
international obligations and not become a magnet for fugitives. The proposed bill would expand the scope of criminal suspect transfers to include Taiwan, Macau and mainland China. China has been excluded from Hong Kong’s extradition agreements because of concerns over its judicial independence and human rights record. Speaking to reporters after announcing her decision Saturday, Lam sidestepped questions over whether she should quit. She insisted she was not withdrawing the proposed amendment and defended the police. But she said she was suspending the bill indefinitely. It was time, she said, “for responsible government to restore as quickly as possible this calmness in society.” “I want to stress that the government is adopting an open mind,” she said. “We
have no intention to set a deadline for this work.” She emphasized that a chief concern was to avoid further injuries both for the public and for police. About 80 people were hurt in the clashes earlier in the week, more than 20 of them police. “It’s possible there might be even worse confrontations that might be replaced by very serious injuries to my police colleagues and the public,” she said. “I don’t want any of those injuries to happen.” Lam apologized for what she said were failures in her government’s work to win public support for the bill, which is opposed by a wide range of sectors in Hong Kong, including many teachers, students, lawyers and trade unions. But she insisted the bill was still needed. “Give us another chance,” she said.
WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck an arc of islands off New Zealand on Sunday, and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it may cause only minor sea level changes in some coastal areas. The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake hit a spot about 541 miles northeast of Ngunguru, New Zealand, a town of about 1,400 people. It occurred at a depth of 6 miles. The area the quake struck is called the Kermadec Islands, about 497 miles northeast of New Zealand’s North Island. New Zealand’s Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Management cleared New Zealand of a tsunami threat moments after issuing a beach warning. The Kermadec Islands, a volcanic archipelago, are prone to earthquakes. The islands are a dependency of New Zealand and lie at the western edge of the Kermadec Trench. There are no permanent settlements on the islands.
Syria violence kills dozens of troops and civilians in north BEIRUT — Government airstrikes, intense shelling and fighting on the ground in rebel-held areas in northwest Syria claimed the lives of dozens of people Saturday, Syrian opposition activists said. Syrian state media reported later that an explosion was heard in a military area in Dummar, a northwestern suburb of the capital Damascus. Syrian state TV said the blast was the result of an explosion in an arms depot that triggered some fires in nearby brush. State TV gave no further details about the cause of the blast or whether there were fatalities. In northwest Syria, fighting intensified as government forces pressed their offensive toward Idlib province, the last major rebel stronghold in the country’s lengthy civil war. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the opposition’s Syrian Civil Defense said at least 10 civilians were killed in Saturday’s airstrikes and shelling of rebel-held villages and towns.
German stunt pilot killed as plane plunges into Polish river WARSAW, Poland — A German pilot of a small stunt plane was killed Saturday after his aircraft plunged into the Vistula River during a performance at an air show in central Poland, firefighters said. Edward Mystera, a spokesman for firefighters in the town of Plock, said the pilot’s body had been recovered from the wreckage, which was 26 feet under the water. The crash occurred shortly before 11 a.m. as the pilot apparently lost control of the aircraft during the VII Air Picnic in Plock, which features some 40 pilots. The show was shut down after the crash and police and prosecutors are investigating the cause of the accident. Authorities did not name the pilot, but he was a German citizen and a former Lufthansa pilot with long experience, according to Wojciech Bogdal of the Mazovia Aeroclub, which organized the event. The plane was a Soviet-made Yak-52, a two-seater training plane built in 1980s and registered in Poland, Bogdal said. — Associated Press
Ugandan medics tackling Ebola say they lack supplies By RODNEY MUHUMUZA Associated Press
BWERA, Uganda — The isolation ward for Ebola patients is a tent erected in the garden of the local hospital. Gloves are given out sparingly to health workers. And when the second person in this Uganda border town died after the virus outbreak spread from neighboring Congo , the hospital for several hours couldn’t find a vehicle to take away the body. “We don’t really have an isolation ward,” the Bwera Hospital’s administrator, Pedson Buthalha, told The Associated Press. “It’s just a tent. To be honest, we can’t accommodate more than five
people.” Medical workers leading Uganda’s effort against Ebola lament what they call limited support in the days since infected members of a Congolese-Ugandan family showed up, one vomiting blood. Three have since died. While Ugandan authorities praise the health workers as “heroes” and say they are prepared to contain the virus, some workers disagree, wondering where the millions of dollars spent on preparing for Ebola have gone if a hospital on the front line lacks basic supplies. “Even the gloves are not enough,” the hospital administrator said Thursday. “I give them out small small.” A
nurse nodded in agreement. The World Health Organization on Friday said the Ebola outbreak is an “extraordinary event” of deep concern but does not yet merit being declared a global emergency . Such a declaration typically triggers more funding, resources and political attention. WHO said $54 million is needed to stop the outbreak. And yet both Congo and Uganda appeared to lobby against a declaration, with Congo counting the Uganda-related Ebola cases as its own, saying Congo was where the family members began developing symptoms. Ugandan authorities on Friday said they had only
one suspected Ebola case remaining in the country. More than 1,400 people have died since this outbreak was declared in August in eastern Congo, one of the world’s most turbulent regions, where rebel attacks and community resistance have hurt Ebola response work. The virus can spread quickly via close contact with bodily fluids of those infected and can be fatal in up to 90% of cases, and identifying people who might have been exposed is crucial. While Ugandan health workers aren’t facing the violent attacks that have killed several Ebola responders in Congo, they remain at risk
as they seek to isolate, test and treat for the virus. Basic equipment such as gloves is essential. At least two nurses at Bwera Hospital might have been exposed as they offered first aid to the infected family. They and some other contacts have since been quarantined in their homes. WHO says at least 112 such contacts have been identified in Uganda since the outbreak crossed the nearby border. A nurse, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid possible retribution, questioned why some people who might have been exposed to Ebola are allowed to stay at home.
“I wish we could coordinate,” the hospital administrator said of the apparent confusion over how to manage the outbreak. Ugandan Health Minister Jane Aceng told the AP on Saturday that district officials in Kasese were to blame for limited medical supplies after delaying in submitting their budget. “It is clearly the responsibility of the district to order supplies,” she said. “If they haven’t done the orders we can’t supply because we don’t know how much they need.” As for upgrading the makeshift isolation ward in the hospital garden, she said “it is not economical. It is not cost-effective” to build permanent structures.
Zero elephants poached in a year in top Africa wildlife park By CARA ANNA Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG — One of Africa’s largest wildlife preserves is marking a year without a single elephant found killed by poachers, which experts call an extraordinary development in an area larger than Switzerland where thousands of the animals have been slaughtered in recent years. The apparent turnaround in Niassa reserve in a remote region of northern Mozambique comes after the introduction of a rapid intervention police force and more assertive patrolling and response by air, according to the New York-
based Wildlife Conservation Society, which manages the reserve with Mozambique’s government and several other partners. Monitoring of the vast reserve with aerial surveys and foot patrols remains incomplete and relies on sampling, however. And despite the sign of progress, it could take many years for Niassa’s elephant population to rebuild to its former levels even if poaching is kept under control. Aggressive poaching over the years had cut the number of Niassa’s elephants from about 12,000 to little over 3,600 in 2016, according to an aerial survey. Anti-poaching strategies from 2015 to 2017 reduced
the number killed but the conservation group called the rate still far too high. The new interventions, with Mozambican President Felipe Nyusi personally authorizing the rapid intervention force, have led partners to hope that Niassa’s elephants “stand a genuine chance for recovery,” the conservation group said. “It is a remarkable achievement,” James Bampton, country director with the Wildlife Conservation Society, told The Associated Press. He said he discovered the year free of poaching deaths while going through data. The last time an elephant in the Niassa reserve was recorded killed by a poacher
was May 17, 2018, he said. Political will is a key reason for the success, Bampton said, with Mozambique’s president keen to see poaching reduced. Bampton acknowledged that the low number of remaining elephants is also a factor in the decline in poaching. A year ago, he estimated that fewer than 2,000 elephants remained in Niassa, though he now says preliminary analysis of data from a survey conducted in October and not yet published indicated that about 4,000 elephants are in the reserve. Still, a year that appears to be free of elephant poaching in the sprawling reserve drew exclamations from
some wildlife experts. “It is a major and very important development that poaching has ceased. This represents a major success,” George Wittemyer, who chairs the scientific board for the Kenya-based organization Save the Elephants, told the AP. The new rapid intervention police force is an elite unit that is better-armed than the reserve’s normal rangers and has “a bit of a reputation of being quite hard,” Bampton said, adding that no “bad incidents” have been reported in Niassa. Members of the force are empowered to arrest suspected poachers, put together a case within 72 hours and submit it to the local
prosecutor, Bampton said. “Just being caught with a firearm is considered intent to illegal hunting,” with a maximum prison sentence of 16 years. Wildlife experts have seen gains elsewhere in Africa against elephant poaching. Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve, widely acknowledged as “Ground Zero” for poaching and linked to the Niassa reserve by a wildlife corridor, also has seen a recent decline in the killings. African elephant poaching has declined to pre-2008 levels after reaching a peak in 2011, according to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.

Twins split with Wasilla Staff report Peninsula Clarion
The American Legion Twins lost the league contest and won the nonleague contest Saturday at Wasilla. The Twins are 1-2 in the league and 2-4 overall, while Wasilla is 5-0 in the league and 7-1 overall. The Twins lost the league contest 2-1 before winning the nonleague game 8-3. Post 20 stays in the Valley to face Palmer in a league game at
noon today. Wasilla won the high school state championship this season, plus added some good college players to that squad, so Twins coach Robb Quelland said Saturday was a success. “For our third conference game of the year, I’m very happy,” Quelland said. “I never like to lose, but I’m not disappointed by this.” In the league loss, the Twins took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first but then the offense stalled. Jacob Gilbert
pitched all seven for the Road Warriors, giving up just three hits and an earned run while walking two and striking out 10. Gilbert was the Southcentral Conference MVP this season. “Going against the region player of the year, I think we held our own and that’s remarkable,” Quelland said. “He mixes it up really well.” Two of those hits came right away — Jeremy Kupferschmid, who finished 2 for 3, singled to lead off the See TWINS, page B2

Oilers sweep doubleheader By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion
Friday, after the Peninsula Oilers had lost a third straight game to the Chugiak-Eagle River Chinooks, head coach Kyle Brown said he needed someone to step up and be the man. “I still love this team, somebody just has to step up and be the man and get a hit at the right time,” Brown said. “Then we can relax and play baseball. Guys are just pressing and frustrated.” In Saturday’s first game of an Alaska Baseball League doubleheader at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai, Calvin Farris was that man. Farris hit a grand slam and also was the winning pitcher as the Oilers topped the Chinooks 12-7 in the opening game of the doubleheader. The good vibes continued in the second game, as the Oilers won 8-6 for their first consecutive wins of the season. Both the Oilers and Chinooks are now 4-6 in the league. The sixgame series, with Chugiak up 3-2, finishes with a 2 p.m. game today at Seymour Park. The Oilers were down 5-2 entering the fifth inning of Saturday’s first game, but scored five runs in the fifth and sixth innings to take control of the game. Four of those runs in the sixth inning came on the blast by Farris to right field. Farris told 1140 AM after the game that he went to the plate thinking he was going to hunt
for a fastball, and he was able to get that fastball. Farris then shut down the Chinooks from the mound in the top of the seventh for the win. He said collecting himself to pitch after the big home run was not difficult. “Playing college baseball for three years now really taught me you can’t let your emotions get out of control,” Farris told 1140 AM. The Oilers offense, which had scored just five runs in the first three games of the series, broke out with 13 hits in the game, with six players recording two hits. Those players were Camden Vasquez, Connor McCord, Farris, Damon Keith, Ethan Patrick and Jonathan Villa. Farris had five RBIs in the game, while Bobby Goodloe, Patrick and Villa each had two RBIs. Vasquez scored three runs, while McCord, Goodloe and Keith each scored two. Giancarlos Servin worked the first 2 2-3 innings for the Oilers, giving up five runs — three earned — on seven hits. Steven Ordorica also worked 2 2-3 innings, giving up two unearned runs on three hits. The loss went to Honus Kindreich, who gave up five runs in twothirds of an inning. Daniel Freeman finished 2 for 2 with two RBIs and two runs to lead the Chinooks on offense. Friday, the Oilers provided a textbook example of how to out-hit an opponent and still get See OILERS, page B3

Playing dirty
Clam Scramble is no day at the beach By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion
In the five years the Ninilchik Clam Scramble Mud and Obstacle Run has been organized, there has been no shortage of mud, rocks and staircases on offer to make for one of the more challenging 5-kilometer races on the peninsula. Starting Saturday at Deep Creek State Campground and ending at Ninilchik View Campground, the field of 132 racers were challenged to a tough course made tougher with various obstacles. Already dealing with sand and pebbles that suck energy out of runner’s legs, racers were also met with a bucket carry, a mud crawl and a hopscotch test along the way. While the hopscotch was new this year, the mud crawl has been around since the beginning, and once again provided the best opportunity to get down and
dirty in the silty mud of Cook Inlet. “That was definitely fun,” said women’s winner Leah Fallon. “I was shorter last year, so this time I had to get on my knees.” “Very fun,” said men’s winner Aaron Swedberg. “Not all serious, so that’s what helps make it fun.” Swedberg won the race to put a stop to Maison Dunham’s two-year run of success. Swedberg held off Dunham by one second in a time of 22 minutes, 16 seconds, while Dunham finished second after winning the race in 2017 and 2018. Fallon was the women’s winner in a time of 29:42, ahead of runner-up Megan Anderson. The mud crawl featured a line of flags that hung just a few feet above the sticky mess, forcing racers to make their way on hands and knees through the slop. The thick soup was enough See CLAM, page B4

State motocross: Thrills, chills, spills By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

The familiar guttural din of motocross bikes ripping around the track at the Twin Cities Raceway dirt motocross track quietly fell away Saturday afternoon when a rider in the 250cc novice division mistimed a jump and crashed violently onto the dirt, twisting his leg as he skidded to a stop. The rider was writhing in pain as medical attention was given to him, and 15 minutes slipped away as an ambulance arrived to carry him off to the hospital. Then, as suddenly as it had came, the silence was broken up by the return of the buzzing that brings riders back time and again to the State Motocross Championship races. “It’s brutal,” said Kenai rider Jed Brown. “It’ll give you chills.” The downed rider suffered a broken leg but was otherwise OK. So what exactly is it that keeps Brown and other locals coming back for more? “I don’t know, you just think about what you do best,” Brown said. “When
‘We have a lot of family fun doing this. I like to see all our kids get involved … it teaches the kids responsibility and how to race.’ — John Mullican you’re out riding, there’s nothing else you’re thinking about.” The state championship races held Saturday will finish today at the winding dirt course in Kenai. The races are No. 1 and 2 out of eight total this summer, with the final six events being held in Anchorage and Fairbanks. Brown won his heat race at the 450cc intermediate class, less than half an hour after his fellow rider was injured. Brown said while the potential for injury is always present, riders must have the ability to push aside their fears if they wish to both win races and enjoy the sport. “When you’re sitting at the start for 30 seconds you have time to think about it,” Brown said. “But when that gate dumps, you forget about it and it’s all
about trying to win.” The edge-of-your-seat excitement extends to all walks of life. Brown, 29, is still young and has years left of his motocross career, which began for him at age 12. “I’m never quitting,” he said. Just a few parking spots away from Brown sat the hauler of John Mullican, whose Soldotna family has been riding bikes for years. Mullican himself began in the 1970s as a young rider who wanted more out of his snowmachine and motorcycle days, so he began racing competitively. Back then, Mullican said he raced at a different motocross venue near the Soldotna airport. The track eventually See MOTO, page B2

shut down in the 1980s and the current Kenai site popped up. Eventually, Mullican met his wife and life had other ideas. “Then I got married and had kids,” Mullican said with a smile. “So I couldn’t afford it.” These days, Mullican plays the role of grandpa and sponsor for his grandsons, who he is more than happy to fund. “We have a lot of family fun doing this,” he said. “I like to see all our kids get involved … it teaches the kids responsibility and how to race.” Among those mixing it up
on the race course Saturday was Kash Williams, 9, and cousin Draiden Mullican, 10. The youngest member of the family is Karbon, 4, who John said is just beginning to learn the ropes. Draiden Mullican said he got the racing bug from older brother, Cole Crandall, who raced in Kenai before he went down with a broken leg. Mullican said while he followed his brother into racing bikes, he has a passion for the big races that bring together competitors from across the state. “I enjoy a lot about racing,” he said. “Just meeting a lot of new people, they’re very nice and it’s very competitive.” Mullican’s mother, Anna Love, said she enjoys watching her kids race after dabbling in the sport herself as a
younger rider. “It gives them the adrenaline rush,” Love said, looking at her son. “I raced for a few years and now they have that going.” John Mullican said when his grandson, Crandall, wanted to try racing for the first time, he took to the sport in rapid fashion. “He said, ‘I wanna race,’ so we took him out and he finished third,” Mullican said. “Draiden then wanted to try it, and that was it.” Williams now races as well and echoed the thoughts of his cousin, explaining that racing is a way to branch out and meet other families that race. “I like that we can meet other people and be friends,” Williams said. “I think it’s cool.”

Woodland leads Open By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Gary Woodland hit a shank and a chunk and both times made par, and he made a birdie from a deep divot in the fairway. Such moments, even on a Saturday, can go a long way toward winning a U.S. Open. Even better for Woodland was a 2-under 69 — and just two bogeys over 54 holes at Pebble Beach — for a oneshot lead over Justin Rose. “I worked for this my whole life,” Woodland said. “I know what it takes to win. And my game is in a great spot. I’m at a beautiful golf course. I came here to win, and that’s what we’re going out to do tomorrow.” He’s not alone in that thinking. Rose was right where he wanted to be after working more short-game magic from bunkers and thick grass and awkward spots around greens that were getting a little firmer and faster, even under another day of thick marine layer that has blanketed the Monterey Peninsula all week. He has 34 oneputt greens through 54 holes, the last one an up-and-down from the bunker for birdie on the par-5 18th for a 68 that put him in the final group. “One back gives me the freedom to feel like I’ve got everything to gain, nothing to lose,” said Rose, the 2013 U.S. Open champion at Merion. “I’m not chasing, really. I’m so close to Gary that I have to go out and play my game tomorrow.” Brooks Koepka thinks he can win because no one has been winning majors like him in the last two years. He played bogey-free for a 68, settling for par when he made a bold attempt to slash a fairway metal around a cypress on the 18th hole. Four shots behind is close enough for Koepka to have a shot at a record that has stood for 114 years as he tries to join Willie Anderson with a third straight U.S. Open title. “I feel as confident as ever right now,” said Koepka, words that carry a little more weight from a guy
who has won four of his last eight majors. Standing in the way of all of them is Pebble Beach, a strong enough test that has been missing strong wind, its best defense. The final hour of the third round gave a glimpse of possibilities, how fortunes can change quickly. Woodland twice looked as though he were about to lose two shots or more of his lead until chipping in from 35 feet on the par-3 12th hole, and holing a par putt from just over 40 feet on the par-5 14th. “I’m excited to be where I’m at right now,” Woodland said. He was at 11-under 202 and with hardly any margin for error against Rose. Koepka had some theatrics of his own, misjudging a lie in the rough so deep he could barely see the golf ball left of the 15th green. It sailed long into the first cut, some 35 feet away, and he holed the putt for par to keep a clean card. He was part of a group four shots back that included Louis Oosthuizen, who birdied three of his last four holes to salvage a 70; and Chez Reavie, who made his share of long par putts for a 68. Koepka won at Erin Hills in 2017 with his power and at Shinnecock Hills last year with his clutch putting. He might need a little of both to make up a four-shot deficit at Pebble Beach, though he brings the most recent experience handling the pressure of a final round in a major. He is going for his fifth major title in his last nine tries, a stretch not seen since Tiger Woods at his peak. “I just enjoy the pressure,” Koepka said. “I enjoy having to hit a good golf shot, making a putt when the pressure is on. If you’re within three on the back nine, anything can happen. Hang around all day and see what happens.” Curtis Strange, the last player with a shot at three straight U.S. Opens, also shot 68 in the third round in 1990 and got within two shots, only to fade with a 75 on the final day.

game and then David Michael singled to give the Twins the lead. Wasilla came back to tie the game in the second, getting to starter Logan Smith for an unearned run. Smith would give up just that run in five innings, yielding two hits and two walks while fanning six. Smith has been recovering from a knee injury. “He’s getting some of the rust knocked off, how about that?” Quelland said when asked how healthy Smith is feeling. Harold Ochea gave up one un-
earned run on a hit and a walk in one inning as the Warriors earned the win. Clayton Boyett led the Wasilla offense by going 2 for 3. “It comes down to we’re a work in progress,” Quelland said of the costly errors. In the nonleague game, the Twins offense woke up. The local nine led 4-1 after two innings and 7-2 after five innings. Smith was 2 for 4, while Tanner Ussing, Davey Belger and Harrison Metz added hits. Mose Hayes and Metz each scored two runs. Ussing pitched four innings, giving up three hits and an earned run while walking none and striking out one. Kupferschmid gave up a hit and a run,
while walking four and fanning two, in 1 2-3 innings, while Metz closed the game with 1 1-3 innings, getting charged with three hits and a run. Carson Boyett took the loss for the Warriors, going two innings and giving up four runs — two earned — while not giving up a hit but walking four and striking out three. On offense, Taylon Ottinger, Gilbert and Calvin Stoll each had two hits for the Warriors. “It’s remarkable how fast these young players come together and step up into new roles,” Quelland said of the Twins, made up of players from Soldotna, Kenai Central and Homer high schools. “It’s always hard combining teams.”
Lloyd adjusts to new role By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer
PARIS — Carli Lloyd is not accepting her new role. Not at all. Lloyd was the star of the 2015 Women’s World Cup four years ago in Canada, scoring three goals in the first 16 minutes of the final to help the U.S. national team win its third World Cup title. The hat trick earned Lloyd the nickname “Captain America” and made her one of women’s soccer most recognizable athletes. She was voted FIFA Women’s Player of the Year, NFL quarterback Marcus Mariota teed up a football for her in a Nike commercial and she wrote a successful book. Now 36, Lloyd is a role
player, likely a second-half substitute in most matches. “If I was satisfied, I really shouldn’t be here. That’s just not who I am as a person or a player,” she said. “I know that if called upon and needing to play 90 minutes, I can do it. There’s nothing there that’s holding me back except for the coach’s decision.” That’s not to say that Lloyd is a malcontent. Quite the opposite. “I haven’t sat here and pouted around and been a horrible teammate,” she said. “I’ve showed up every single day at training and been the hardest working player I could possibly be, and been respectful of that decision. When my chances have come I’ve tried to seize those and take those oppor-
tunities.” Lloyd finds herself in much the same position that Abby Wambach was in Canada. Heading to a record 184 international goals, she came off the bench during the 2015 World Cup for the first time since 2003. Wambach, who retired later that year, handled her situation much differently than Lloyd. “The World Cup for us, for our sport, is the biggest title you can win as a team,” Wambach said at the time. “I’ve never had the opportunity to win one. I’ve come close. That’s obviously a dream of mine to be able raise that trophy for my country.” Coach Jill Ellis said she loves that Lloyd wants to start and be a difference-maker. “I’ve said this, whether
Carli comes off the bench or starts the game, she is a game-changer. What I know is that Carli will always put the team first,” Ellis said. Lloyd was benched before the 2012 London Olympics by then-coach Pia Sundhage, who liked the combination of Shannon Boxx and Lauren Holiday. The demotion didn’t last long, however, because Boxx was injured in the opener. Lloyd went on to score both goals in the goldmedal match against Japan at Wembley Stadium. She became the only player to score winning goals in consecutive Olympic finals: At the Beijing Games in 2008, she scored in overtime for a 1-0 victory against Brazil.

Pelicans to trade Davis to Lakers By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer
NEW ORLEANS — Anthony Davis will wind up with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers after all. The New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to trade the disgruntled Davis to the Lakers for point guard Lonzo Ball, forward Brandon Ingram, shooting guard Josh Hart and three first-round draft choices, several people familiar with the situation said Saturday. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade cannot become official until the new league year begins July 6. ESPN first reported the trade. The deal ends a nearly fivemonth saga that became an awkward NBA sideshow, arguably derailed the Lakers’ push to make the playoffs and even cost people jobs after Davis requested a trade in late January through his agent, Rich Paul, who also represents James. Now the 26-year-old Davis, a
six-time All-Star, will bring his dynamic, up-tempo, above-the-rim play to Hollywood alongside the 34-year-old James, a three-time NBA champion and Finals regular. In return, the Pelicans receive the promise of a young core the Lakers are blowing up in order to make the deal, as well as the opportunity to add more; New Orleans already had the first pick overall in Thursday’s draft and will have the Lakers’ fourth overall choice, giving new basketball operations chief David Griffin the chance to add another top-tier prospect to his presumed first pick of Duke star Zion Williamson. It remains to be seen, however, how well Ingram will recover from a blood clot that sidelined him for part of last season. He was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in March. The Lakers and Pelicans missed the playoffs last season and Davis’ trade demand caused a palpable degree of acrimony between the clubs as the Lakers publicly pursued a deal and the Pelicans asked

blown out. The Oilers collected eight hits to the seven of the Chinooks, yet still lost 9-1 thanks to costly errors, too many walks and a lack of clutch hitting. Friday’s game was decided in the top of the third inning. The Chinooks entered that frame leading 1-0, then sent 12 batters to the plate in swelling the lead to 7-0. Shortstop Skyler Messinger, second baseman Ethan Patrick and third baseman Victor Carlino all had crucial errors in the inning that led to none of the runs being earned. Starter Jake Adams and reliever Brian Merken combined to walk four batters in the inning, making matters worse. “It compounded quickly,” Brown said. Adams would work 2 1-3 innings, giving up seven runs — one earned — on four hits while walking five and fanning three. Merken worked a scoreless two-thirds. The only good news on the pitching and defense front came from Andrew Thorpe, who worked the last six innings and gave up two unearned runs on three hits while walking two and striking out five. The two unearned runs came on another error by Carlino, who was playing out of position. “Andrew Thorpe picked up the team,” Brown said. “It was about the only positive thing for us. That lets us save pitching for the doubleheader tomorrow.” The Oilers went on the road to defeat Chugiak 11-4 on Monday, but in the first three game of the home series Peninsula has scored just five runs. Zach Sundine got the win, going six scoreless innings and allowing three hits while walking two and striking out eight. “Our pitching has been great,” Chinooks coach Jon Groth said. “Our pitchers made some big pitches when they had to, and we played good defense.” In the eighth, the Oilers had a runner at second with two outs when Carlino hit a popup to short right. Second baseman Paddy McKermitt, who was 2 for 4 with three RBIs, made a diving catch to get out of the inning. Brown said getting on base has not been a problem. After leaving 10 players on base Friday, the Oilers have now left on 30 for the series. Also for the Chinooks, Brandon Cody was 2 for 5 with two RBIs. For the Oilers, leadoff man Vasquez was 2 for 4 and Patrick was 2 for 3. Kenai Central product Paul Steffensen had the lone RBI, while Giancarlos Servin scored the run.
Fury tops Schwarz LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tyson Fury put on a show before, during and after his first bout in the fight capital of the world. The British heavyweight star stopped Tom Schwarz with 6 seconds left in the second round Saturday night, packing plenty of entertainment into his brief Las Vegas debut. Fury (28-0-1, 20 KOs) made short work of his previously unbeaten German opponent, battering him with a jab before knocking him down to a knee in the second round right after Schwarz (24-1) landed a big punch. Fury pressed ahead after the knockdown and forced Schwarz’s corner to throw in the towel before the bell. Fighting for the first time since he dramatically rose from a devastating 12th-round knockdown to secure a draw with Deontay Wilder, Fury confirmed his world-class ability following his comeback last year from a 2 1/2year ring absence. “I came here to enjoy myself and put on a show for Las Vegas,” Fury said. “I hope everybody enjoyed it as much as I did.” Although Fury already had memorable fights in New York and Los Angeles, the Manchester native wanted something special in Sin City, which he once vowed never to visit before he got a fight here. The performance by the world’s lineal heavyweight champion against an overmatched foe was just as dominant as expected, but Fury’s shenanigans before and after the bout at the MGM Grand Garden might prove to be even more memorable.
the NBA to look into the possibility of a tampering violation. After the trade deadline passed with no deal, Davis finished out the season as a lame-duck All-Star who at times heard boos and insults during home games and the Pelicans fired then-general manager Dell Demps. Several Lakers players acknowledged they had been shaken by thoughts of their possibly imminent departure, and resulting losses slid them out of playoff position at midseason. Getting the deal done became a near-imperative for general manager Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss after the Lakers’ latest round of front-office drama. On the final day of their franchiserecord sixth straight non-playoff season, president of basketball operations Magic Johnson abruptly quit his job and criticized Pelinka for talking behind his back. Johnson couldn’t resist another backhanded shot at Pelinka on Saturday with a telling series of tweets that began: “Great job by Owner Jeanie Buss bringing An-
thony Davis to the Lakers!” With the Pelicans’ front office now run by Griffin, whose relationship with James dates to the championship they won together in Cleveland in 2016, relations between the two franchises warmed enough to complete a trade that will ripple throughout the NBA. It will affect the offseason plans of a number of other teams — namely, the Boston Celtics, who actively sought to acquire Davis and had an arsenal of young talent and draft picks to potentially include in a deal. Davis is a dynamic 6-foot-10 forward who also plays center, shoots with range, runs the floor, blocks shots and can handle the ball. He has averaged 23.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.4 blocks during his career. But in seven seasons in New Orleans, his Pelicans teams made the playoffs just twice and won one series against Portland two seasons ago. The Lakers might not be done shopping for big names, either. Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker, Jimmy Butler and Southern Cali-
fornia native Kawhi Leonard are among free agents who could be pursued by the Lakers, who’ve made no secret of their plan to build a super team through free agency. Davis has just one year remaining on his contract before he becomes eligible for free agency, but that was less of an issue for the Lakers than any other trade partner, given Davis’ and James’ shared representation. The trade also helps launch a new era for the Pelicans under Griffin as New Orleans bids adieu to the “Unibrow” and welcomes young talent the Lakers had patiently assembled with a series of high first-round picks and later choices that brought high value. The Pelicans’ biggest prize in the deal should be Ingram, if healthy. The 21-year-old, 2016 No. 2 overall pick showed signs of becoming an elite scorer alongside James, and he is expected to recover fully from his blood clot problem and the resulting procedures.

to even pull shoes off, as 12th-place finisher Jay Harris could attest to. “The sand, the mud, it’s just so much resistance,” Harris said when asked about the challenges of the day. “But it’s still a great race, and very family oriented.” Organized by the Ninilchik Chamber of Commerce, the event is a fundraiser for the commercial clamming industry. Commercial clamming was banned following a 2010 winter storm that nearly wiped out the clam population, and race fees for the event go to raising awareness for the situation in hopes of bringing a return to commercial clamming. The top two racers quickly put time on the rest of the field from the getgo, running with each other through the opening series of log barriers and bucket carries. “He’s really fast so it’s really hard,” Dunham said. “Every time I’d get close he’d push again.”
An incoming junior this fall at Kenai Central High, Dunham ran with Swedberg until they reached turnaround rock, a marker just after the mud crawl. Once they made the turn around the boulder, Swedberg began to pull out a gap on Dunham. “I tried to just run where it was flat and where the sand was hard,” Swedberg said. “Once we got around the rock, it was a lot sandier, so I tried to really push it on that part.” Dunham managed to keep Swedberg in sight to the very end. “He was always on my tail,” Swedberg said. “I’d get ahead and then I could hear him behind me, and I’d have to push again. The consensus among the field’s top runners was that the metal-grate stairs that punctuate the end of the 5K race were the most difficult challenge of all. With legs already drained from the previous obstacles, the stairs provide one last hurdle to deal. “The stairs slowed me down more than I thought they would,” Swedberg said. “Once I got to the campground I knew I could

kick to the finish.” Fallon echoed Swedberg’s feelings about the difficult finish, even though the next closest female racer wasn’t as close as the men’s race. “The hardest is the stairs at the end,” she said. “You’re just so tired and then there’s this staircase. That’s so challenging.” Fallon, an incoming sophomore at Kenai Central, said she had never won an organized race before in her young running career, but knew shortly after the start that she would be in good position to do so in her fourth year running it. Plus, she had a victory in the works. Last year, Anderson beat Fallon for the women’s victory by 1:24. This year, the tables were turned as Fallon beat out Anderson by 2:14 for the win. “I felt like I was going to
be near the top,” Fallon said. The race ended with the traditional group of French walkers coming across the finish line with the national flag of France — longtime clammers and fishermen Pierre Morell and JeanPhillip Hullen. For more than 40 years the two have traveled across the world from France to go clamming and fishing on the Kenai Peninsula, and have made the race a traditional event to attend. 5th annual Clam Scramble Mud & Obstacle Run

Behind deadline: Home projects suffer from worker shortage
Microgreens: a tiny, nutritional, easy-to-grow crop all year If you like munching on seedlings, consider directing your palate toward microgreens. These tiny vegetables burst with rich, leafy flavours ranging from spicy to sweet, and their nutritional power exceeds that of the adult plants. Use them as garnish, sprinkle them onto salads and soups, add them to sandwiches or blend them into smoothies. A handful goes a long way. “There are more and more health-conscious people who have already learned there are great nutritional advantages to microgreens,” said Dan Fosso, who operates Whidbey Microgreens in Oak Harbor, Washington. Besides, microgreens simply taste good, he said, and are increasingly being plated up by chefs at gourmet restaurants, as well as delis and bistros. A U.S. Department of Agriculture research team tested 25 commercially available microgreen varieties to evaluate their nutritional content. They reported in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry in 2012 that they were surprised at results indicating the microgreens contained 4 to 40 times more vitamins and carotenoids than their mature plant counterparts. Microgreens are the culinary cousins of seed sprouts and baby greens, but differ from both. “Microgreens are usually slightly larger than sprouts, are grown in soil rather than water for more taste and nutrient quality, and notably are already producing their first growth of tiny leaves that sprouts don’t yet have,” he said. “Baby greens are allowed to grow longer to gain enough size for entire salads and side dishes, yet still have tender leaves and great flavour,” Fosso said. Sprouts are the youngest of the seedling family, and the entire plant can be eaten, including shoots and roots, according to horticulturists with North Carolina Cooperative Extension. Popular seeds for sprouting include sunflowers, lentils, peas, mustards and alfalfa. The most popular microgreen flavours come from peas, carrots, broccoli, arugula, beets and mustards. Baby greens, of which generally only the leaves are eaten, include spinach, lettuces and a variety of colorful herbs. Microgreens are an easy-to-grow, four-season indoor crop. They require just a few gardening tools — sanitized trays, seed, a shallow growing media, heat mats and supplemental lighting if you don’t have sunny windows. It usually takes eight to 14 days for seedlings to be table-ready after germination. Some species, however, grow more quickly than others. Herbs such as parsley, sage, mustard, dill, basil and cilantro can take around three weeks, Fosso said. “Some extra-delicate microgreens like sorrel take as long as nine weeks,” he said. Microgreen flavours commonly change with age. Do a string of taste tests at various stages of their growth to determine when you like eating them the best. Seedlings are perishable once cut, although microgreens can last a week in a refrigerator if stored properly. “Put them into a refrigerator soon after harvest in a container that maintains humidity and prevents them from getting crushed, such as a clamshell or plastic bag,” North Carolina Cooperative Extension says. Most microgreens are so delicate they are eaten raw or used as beds for cooked foods, Fosso said. “They are too fine in texture to hold up their flavours and texture at higher temperatures,” he said.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Lynn Osborne has been remodeling two homes. They are different styles, in different states, with different contractors. But there has been one constant: delays due to a shortage of skilled labour. The two-year remodel of her primary home in Fort Collins was to update and upgrade the ’90s house, and it included a small extension. It was completed last year, except for the landscaping, which is still under way. That general contractor relied heavily on subcontractors, she said, and sometimes they wouldn’t show, or would arrive days late, or did shoddy work and were fired. Her remodel of an old family beach retreat in New England took a Sears kit home down to the studs. The completion date was June 2018, but it’s still not done because the contractor, who has been doing most of the work himself, is stretched and unattentive. “He’d say, ‘I’ll be out there next week,’ and next week would turn into next month, and next month would be six months,” she said. Current estimates indicate there are about 300,000 unfilled jobs in the construction industry, and the industry is expected to need an additional 747,000 workers by 2026, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. An August survey of nearly 375 members of the National Kitchen and Bath Association found that almost two-thirds of the respondents said they had difficulties hiring skilled workers in the previous year, and nearly 70% felt
the problem had gotten worse since 2016. “Labor shortages have impacted start dates and completion dates on construction and renovation projects, with NKBA members citing delays on 30% of jobs,” said Bill Darcy, chief executive officer of the trade association. A look at 15 different trades found shortages in them all, Darcy said in a telephone interview from NKBA headquarters in Hackettstown, New Jersey. And as with previous years, he said, one of the greatest needs was for carpenters, who do rough-in work and framing, and finish carpenters, who hang cabinets, do millwork, flooring and install moulding. Finding a quality finishing carpenter was one of the biggest frustrations in Osborne’s Fort Collins remodel. “One guy got started on the basement and just left, so to find somebody to pick up where he left off was hard,” she said. The seeds of the current labour shortage were planted during the Great Recession, when a lack of construction jobs prompted many workers to leave the industry. “Not enough of them have returned to help us close the gap,” Darcy said. Compounding the problem is the graying of the remaining workforce, with the median age for a construction worker at 42.5 years, according to January figures from the Labor Bureau. It’s estimated that for every five workers retiring from the industry, only one is entering it, said Silvia Lattoz, Governance and Global Relations Senior Manager at NKBA. Younger people aren’t interested in construction
careers because they think the jobs don’t pay well, are too dirty or physically demanding, or mistakenly think the jobs don’t use much technology, Lattoz said. “There’s definitely some kind of stigma tied to this,” she said. Players in the industry are ramping up efforts to address the impending crisis, launching incentives to try to recruit new workers, especially young people, to the trades. The Home Depot Foundation announced last year it was committing $50 million to skilled trades training, with plans to attract 20,000 people by 2028. “We want to bring shop class back, from coast to coast,” Shannon Gerber, executive director of the foundation, said in a release. The program focuses on supporting veterans, as well as underserved high schools. Lowe’s last year started offering employees tuition and other incentives to train for jobs such as carpentry, plumbing, and appliance repair. More than 1,350 associates were enrolled in the Track to the Trades program this spring, Lowe’s spokeswoman Jennifer L. Weber said. In April, Lowe’s and 60 of its suppliers and partners debuted a new program called Generation T , an online marketplace for jobs, apprenticeships and education programs in construction. It’s also on Twitter and Facebook. “If we don’t fill the existing skilled trade gap, our businesses, homes and communities will suffer,” Weber said. The National Association of Home Builders, meanwhile, sponsors student chapters in high schools and colleges . The
clubs currently have more than 4,500 members. The NAHB also supports immigration reform. Foreign-born workers were twice as likely to be employed in construction last year as workers born in the United States, according to the Department of Labor. Legislation pending in Congress would try to ease the construction worker shortage by establishing a visa system to bring in more foreign labourers. Employers would have to prove they couldn’t find U.S. workers, and would have to pay fair wages based on local rates. “Filling our workforce needs is a key component to boosting our workforce and our economy,” said U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker, Republican of Pennsylvania, a sponsor. For a while at least, homeowners and home builders need to resign themselves to the fact that it will likely be harder to get work done, at least for a while. Home Depot, for instance, said this year it was eliminating the service it had been offering that hired third-party contractors to install roofing, siding, insulation and gutters. Projects are also likely to get more expensive, as nearly 60% of respondents in the NKBA survey said the shortage was affecting labour costs. Osborne’s husband previously worked in the construction industry, but even so, she said, they suffered sticker shock when it came to their renovations. “It’s that market right now,” she said. “You want something done and they throw out a big number, and I guess it’s a matter of, ‘How badly do you want it done and how soon?”
US long-term mortgage rates little changed; 30-year at 3.82% The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — U.S. long-term mortgage rates were little changed this week, after six straight weeks of declines putting them at historically low levels. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate on the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage held steady from last week at 3.82 percent, its lowest point since September 2017. By contrast, a year ago the benchmark rate stood at 4.62 percent. The average rate for 15-year, fixed-rate home loans slipped this week to 3.26% from 3.28%.
The declining rates have been a boon to potential purchasers in the spring home buying season, and the number of prospective buyers seeking mortgages jumped last month. Mortgage applications for new home purchases increased 20.1% in May from a year earlier, according to new data from the Mortgage Bankers Association. A reprieve for nervous stock-market investors came this week in the U.S. trade dispute with Mexico, as the two sides reached a truce Friday after Mexico agreed to do more to stop the flow of Central Ameri-
can migrants into the U.S. But by Monday, President Donald Trump was again threatening to slap crippling tariffs on Mexican exports if Mexico didn’t abide by an unspecified commitment, “to be revealed in the not-too-distant future.” The U.S. trade battle with China continues to fester. The trade fights threaten to stifle economic growth in the U.S. and around the world. Investors have been mostly fleeing to safer investments, like bonds and gold, because of the uncertainty around trade negotiations. The rush into the bond market has pushed up
bond prices and depressed their yields. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which influences mortgage rates, was 2.12% late Wednesday, unchanged from a week earlier. It fell to 2.10% around midday Thursday. Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country between Monday and Wednesday each week to compile its mortgage rate figures. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. The average fee on 30year fixed-rate mortgages rose to 0.6 point this week

from 0.5 point. The average fee for the 15-year mortgage was unchanged at 0.5 point. The average rate for
five-year adjustable-rate mortgages declined to 3.51% from 3.52% last week. The fee remained at 0.4 point.

What’s so bad about processed foods? Scientists offer clues By CANDICE CHOI AP Food & Health Writer
NEW YORK — Chips, soda and frozen pizzas tend to be full of salt, sugar and fat, but now scientists are trying to understand if there’s something else about such processed foods that might be bad for us. Already, the spread of cheap, packaged foods has been linked to rising obesity rates around the world. Yet advice to limit processed foods can seem unhelpful, given how convenient they are and the growing array of products that fall into the category. While three recent studies offer more clues on how our increasingly industrialized food supply may be affecting our health, they also underscore how difficult nutrition science and advice can be. Here’s what they say.
WHAT DOES “PROCESSED” MEAN? Whether it’s curing, freezing, milling or pasteurization, nearly all foods undergo some type of processing. Even though processing itself doesn’t automatically make food unhealthy, “processed foods” is generally a negative term. To more precisely identify the processed foods of most concern, scientists came up with a system that groups foods into four categories. It’s far from perfect, but the system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized ingredients and additives, with little to no intact whole foods. Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem wholesome, like
breakfast cereals, energy bars and some yogurts.
WHAT’S WRONG WITH PROCESSED FOODS? Cheap packaged foods are everywhere including checkout lines, gas stations and vending machines, and a very small four-week clinical trial might deepen our understanding of why that’s likely fueling obesity rates. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health found people ate an average of 500 extra calories a day when fed mostly processed foods, compared with when the same people were fed minimally processed foods. That’s even though researchers tried to match the meals for nutrients like fat, fiber and sugar. The 20 participants were allowed to eat as much or as little as they wanted, and were checked into a clinic so their health and behavior could be monitored. That’s not all the bad news. In another study based on questionnaires, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain found eating more processed foods was linked to a higher risk of death in general.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT PROCESSED FOODS? Beyond the fact they taste really good, there might other reasons why it’s so hard to stop eating foods like cheese puffs and ice cream. When fed minimally processed foods, people in the clinical trial produced more of a hormone that suppresses appetite,

and less of a hormone that causes hunger. The reason for the biological reaction isn’t clear. Another finding: People ate processed foods faster. “Those foods tend to be softer and easier to chew and swallow,” said Kevin Hall, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health who led the study. Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference. Fibers from whole fruits and vegetables, for instance, may be better for making people feel full than the types of fiber added to packaged foods such as cookies, yogurt and even soda. For the French study, author Mathilde Touvier also noted the largely unexamined effects of the “cocktail” of additives used to
make the various processed foods we eat. All three studies come with big caveats. The U.S. study was tiny and individual behavior varied widely: Some ate about the same amount of calories on both diets, and others ate far more on the processed diet. Meals in the two diets were rated as being similarly pleasant, but Hall noted it’s possible participants were saying what they thought they should. The processed food diet included foods like salted nuts and whole milk, compared with unsalted nuts and lower-fat milk for the unprocessed diet. With the French and Spanish studies, there could be other habits and environmental factors that explain the differences
in health risks. The studies also didn’t reflect the broader population. In the Spanish study, participants were college graduates and relatively younger. And though processed food was tied to a greater risk of death, the total number of deaths was still relatively small.
WHAT SHOULD YOU EAT? Even without the latest studies, advice to limit processed foods probably makes sense to most people. Minimally processed foods tend to be richer in nutrients and more difficult to overeat, since they’re not as widely available and convenient. Still, following that advice can be hard, especially
if for people with limited time and money to spend on food. “What frustrates me is when the message is, ‘Change the way you eat,’ without thinking about why people eat the way they eat,” said Sarah Bowen, a professor who studies food and inequality at North Carolina State University. Another challenge is the broad spectrum of processed foods, and distinguishing which ones might be better or worse as companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem more wholesome. So while the newest studies may give us more reasons to avoid industrialized foods, they also underscore the difficulty of coming up with solutions.
Sewing for sport: Handmade workout clothes make strides

If necessity is the mother of invention, then pending motherhood may have given Sarah Vander Neut a creative boost.
The Aurora, Colorado, seamstress was pregnant with her first daughter eight years ago and running in her husband’s heavy hoodie when she decided to sew a jacket to fit her growing form.
“I was running every day until I had her, and it was winter,” said Vander Neut, now the mother of two little girls. “A husband’s hoodie does not make you feel fast. This jacket solved my running problems.” Already selling handmade skirts and dresses at Denver-area craft markets, Vander Neut began sewing athletic jackets in spectacular color combinations. The handmade sportswear features extra-long arms for covering hands or cuffing back, a large hole at one wrist for checking the giant sports watch, deep pockets for holding gear, and reflective accents for nighttime runs. Her jackets are made from double-knit polyester — fabric designed to last. “The light just kinda went on for me,” said Vander Neut, who has an art degree and studied fashion design. “Colorado is not New York, is not L.A. This is our fashion statement. A jacket is something a woman is going to need for layering.” She’s made 730 jackets since launching Vander Jacket in 2011, selling the hoodies online and at craft markets. She has no plans to let up on the five-hours-per-
Get the most out of physical education classes School gives students a chance to learn and grow. During the course of their academic careers, students explore many different subjects, hopefully finding at least one that inspires them to one day pursue rewarding careers. Physical education is one subject that is often overlooked. Gym class may seem like just a fun elective, but the importance of physical education cannot be understated, especially as so many youngsters struggle to maintain healthy weights. Physical education can help children live healthier, more fulfilling lives, benefitting them in ways that go beyond their waistlines. • Improved health and stamina: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that only 29 percent of high school students are getting the recommended 60 minutes a day of physical activity. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that young people between the ages six and 17 should get at least an hour of physical activity each day. Physical education classes can help students meet or exceed those physical activity recommendations. • Creates a love for sports: Gym class exposes students to various athletic activities, encouraging them to dabble in different sports. That opportunity may expose young children to a sport they will embrace and play for the rest of their lives. • Improved academic performance: A large-scale study of 12,000 Nebraska schoolchildren published in The Journal of Pediatrics found that physical fitness could be linked to improved academic performance.
jacket effort. “If I was pouring all the time in and it stopped growing . then yeah, I would fall out of love pretty fast,” Vander Neut said. “I’d be taking time away from my little kids and husband. It works when my little business is helping them, helping my little girls go to ballet or helping my family buy a car.” Vander Neut is not alone. Other makers pour their passion for a sport into handmade goods. For Ruby Amsen, in the Netherlands, inspiration was twofold: She loves roller skating and the 1970s. She sews roller-skating pants and shorts in outrageous, ’70sstyle fabrics. “Flare pants and Farrah Fawcett, the windy blown hair. It’s mesmerizing,” said Amsen, of Amsterdam. A few years ago she learned how to dance on skates, and was hooked. She started sewing pants to accentuate her hip-hop and jazzy moves, piquing other skaters’ interest. “The ’70s-style clothing really accentuates your moves,” she said. Part-time work grew into a fulltime business for Amsen, who sells her skater wear
on Etsy.com . The designer keeps her home minimally appointed so she can skate indoors, including while she works. “It’s like a kind of meditation for me. It keeps my mind still,” Amsen said. “Some people puzzle or go running, I start with drawing and then creating, then skating. That’s one synergy going on there.” Althea Rizzo of Salem, Oregon, sews rock-climbing chalk bags from secondhand stuffed animals. Her VertGear online site features chalk bags made from a pink elephant, green frog and purple zebra, among other critters. The chalk bags appeal to a certain level of rock climber. “The people who wear mine are not the super intense, professional athletes,” Rizzo said. “These are people who enjoy a little bit of fun and lightheartedness.” She began sewing sportswear and gear for her outdoorsy daughter. Her Etsy shop includes tank tops and
shorts, made from fabric she designs. Rizzo recently streamlined her sewing process to save time. She only sews at night and on weekends; by day, she is the earthquake, tsunami and volcano program coordinator for the state of Oregon. The sewing work helps Rizzo avoid boredom and pay her bills. “I like to stay busy and I like to make money,” she said. “When I retire in less than 10 years, I’d like to have my student loans and mortgage paid off . and a stream of income to keep me from eating cat food.” The three businesswomen are inspired to do more: Vander Neut has expanded into windbreakers, Rizzo recently added new apparel, and Amsen talks about designing jumpsuits. “Stop? No, no, no. That’s impossible,” said Amsen. “My mind can’t stop thinking. I have designs to last for 80 years from now.”

Local young artists win statewide art contest
N ick V arney
The conundrum It’s been an interesting week. My bride is back east visiting her 11 brothers and sisters along with other sundry relatives, who make up what must be around 70% of the population of Ohio. The main reason for her sojourn is to attend a brother’s 50th wedding anniversary while also dropping in on the rest of the clan for social calls and an occasional home-cooked meal. From what I gather, Jane’s having great time — even though she’s convinced that the local temperatures would melt her tattoos, if she had any. She was also amazed that she had to wear a coat to a movie because the air conditioning was set on “arctic” but then had to shed it before stepping outside to avoid spontaneous heat stroke. I’m sure she’ll make it through just fine, although I do have a medevac service on speed dial. As for me, I’m cabin cloistered in paradise enjoying a drop-dead gorgeous morning while trigger-finger pecking on a keyboard. As I gaze out the windows, a cerulean sky glows like a rain-washed glacier and nary a breeze disturbs the white puffs of mature dandelions awaiting their turn to blanket what’s left of a recognizable lawn. Hey, I realize that I should be a more responsible mower of growing things, especially since transient fauna are now starting to get lost in our backyard. If I procrastinate much longer, I’ll need a hedgerow-crushing Sherman tank to level the invading pushki (cow-parsnip) slowly encroaching along the drainage ditch. The invasive flora is stealthily strangling the wild raspberry bushes and is now under suspicion for the disappearance of a meandering neighborhood pet. That’s a grave situation of course, but I have an even more dramatic problem. It’s fishing season and I’m encountering some significant issues. This year I’ve faced a bit of a setback while trying to procure a perfect package of herring bait. There seems to be a decided dearth of properly parceled and sized frozen baitfish that meet my high standards. This appalling circumstance is especially abominable for those of us who disdain the untidiness of cured salmon eggs. We purists also abhor the thought of traumatizing our karma by making repetitive physical movements such as hurling spinners into the water that ripple the serenity of a lagoon. Plus, it comes close to being work. There’s nothing like chillin’ back in a double cup-holder camp chair while gazing at an exceptionally cool-looking bobber drifting an impeccably plug-cut herring beneath it. The only thing that even comes close to that category of total relaxation is being pronounced dead. Don’t misunderstand. Herring connoisseurs can become aggressive. If a fish slams the bait, we will react if someone is kind enough to notify us that our bobber has submerged and politely yowls that we should secure our beverage and hit back. I prefer that the salmon partially digests the bait before I consider it a valid takedown. Only then will I stand to double check that it wasn’t someone else’s strikeindicator that just shot out of sight like it was snagged by an underwater drone. If the float doesn’t resurface after a slow count to five, I officially deem the fish has thrown down the gauntlet and is spoiling for a fight, so I whack back. Why the deliberation and methodical response? Because my fishing buds religiously turn on the guy who gets a bite and misses it or, dare I say, loses it. Not cool. Vlad the Impaler was held in higher esteem than a dude who lets one get away in our pack of aging piscatorians. My bros will not only subject the humbled loser to unfettered ridicule and critical performance critiques for the rest of the day, but for months on end. I still have regulars commenting on a few of my rather inept chinook hunting outings back in the early ’80s. So, here I sit mulling over an acute conundrum, to fish or not to fish. Do I fire up my tackle-laden Tundra and smoke out to the spit when the tide rolls in or stay put, slip into my Jolly Green Giant superhero persona, and thrash the backforty into submission? Come to think of it, the answer is simple. I can either hit the water with the boys and chance their withering derision should a king snooker me again or try to guess how my loving lady might react when she comes home and has to fire up the Weedwacker to find her car. It’s an easy call, don’t you think? Nick can be reached at ncvarney@ gmail.com if he isn’t in a life or death battle with a large patch of nettles trying to take over a stack of firewood.

Soldotna residents Aaron and Nathaniel Hadfield (10-year-old twins, third grade) have received first and third places respectively in the K-4 category of the “Justice For All” art contest, a statewide children’s art contest sponsored by The Alaska Bar Association’s Law-Related Education Committee and The Alaska Court System’s Alaska Fairness and Access Commission. Aaron won $250 for his winning entry, and Nathaniel won $100 for his third-place entry. The young artists received their awards along with certificates and words of affirmation from Judge Jennifer Wells in the courtroom of the Kenai Courthouse on Monday morning, June 10. Judge Wells presented Aaron a poster made from his winning entry and let him pick a spot on the wall in the jury room to display it. His poster will appear in courthouses across the state. The art contest accepted two-dimensional works on the theme of “Fairness, Diversity, & Equality: Our justice system depends on them. What do they mean to you?” Alaskan school students in grades
K-8 were invited to interpret the importance of these three concepts to our justice system in their artwork as well as to write a brief statement describing their artwork and how it addresses the contest theme. In his statement, Aaron wrote: “Our founding fathers started the country on the ideals of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness for all people. We need our courts and judges to make sure all our people are treated equally and fairly …” His mixed media artwork features the heading “Equality, Diversity, Fairness” with the Alaska state flag in the background and children of diverse ethnicities dressed in traditional attire and holding hangs in the foreground. Nathaniel’s third-place entry depicts the state of Alaska in the background with the justice scales in the foreground. The two arms of the scale are the words “Diversity” and “Equality,” the words “Fairness” and “Justice” hang in the balance, and an Alaska Native totem pole serves as the center pedestal. The Hadfield boys, who are homeschooled, took art lessons this school
Summer bounty
year from Soldotna resident Joy Flamm. Flamm helped the boys with the design and execution of their artwork. She helped them research totem poles and traditional ethnic clothing styles to render in their artwork. According to the Alaska Court System’s School and Community Outreach webpage, the “Justice for All” contest received entries from K-8 students from all across Alaska. Finalists were selected by members of the court system’s appellate staff, representatives from the Alaska Bar Association’s Law-Related Education Committee, and members of the Alaska Supreme Court’s Fairness, Diversity & Equality Committee and Access to Civil Justice Committee. Entries were judged on a range of factors, including artistic quality, originality, and strength of expression in conveying the theme. The contest sponsors, as well as the Hadfield boys, extend special thanks to Perkins Coie LLC for donating the contest prizes. The boys plan to use their cash awards to fund a trip to Legoland.

Local student to take part in national leadership forum A Mountain View Elementary School student will take part in a nationwide STEM leadership forum this summer. Antonino Stapp will participate in the National Youth Leadership Forum: Pathways to STEM, taking place in Los Angeles. Part of the Envision program, the forum aims to enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom. Antonino Stapp was nominated to attend the forum by his teacher Rebecca Walker. Antonino is a recent graduate from Mountain View Elementary and a member of the Peninsula Piranhas Swim Team. He has participated in the QUEST program, played the trumpet in the school band, and recently placed second in the local mathletes where he excelled in prime factorization. “I am looking forward to go to Los Angeles, and I am excited to learn many different things in the fields of medicine, engineering and forensics. Maybe one day I will build the first robot that can do surgery on the heart all by itself. Thank you NYLF for having me!” Since 1985, Envision programs have served more than 800,000 students in more than 145 countries, with programs designed to help students develop the leadership, scholarship and career skills needed to succeed in today’s competitive college and career landscape.

The Cooperative Extension Service is offering free testing of pressure canner dial gauges weekdays from 9 am to 4 pm at the Extension Office located in the same building as Fish and Game on K-Beach Road. Gauges can be tested on or off the lid of the canner. It is important to have pressure canner dial gauges checked annually to help assure home canned food is safely processed. There will be free food preservation publications available. Pressure canners using weighted gauges do not need to be checked. For more information contact the Cooperative Extension Service Office at 907-262-5824.
Rhubarb-Palooza
The Kenai Peninsula Food Bank is hosting a free Rhubarb-Palooza event (aka rhubarb juicing). The public is invited to bring trimmed and clean rhubarb to the Food Bank during the Farmers Market, June 25 from 3:00-6:00 pm. Bring any amount of rhubarb- small or large. Approximately 13 pounds of rhubarb yields a gallon of juice. Bring a bucket for the juice to take home. Don McNamara and Donna Rae Faulkner, owners and operators of Oceanside Farms, will be using their commercial grade hydraulic fruit grinder and press that processes volumes of fresh rhubarb stalks into juice without the need to chop, freeze or cook it first. Their goal is to inspire and promote increased use of Alaska grown rhubarb. There will be rhubarb juice samples to taste and Cooperative Extension Service publications available on growing and using rhubarb.

Stuff to do
Mini Fact:
Let’s Go Camping
• Identify
animal tracks
Fires must be cold to the touch before you leave your campsite. Ask for an adult’s help!
Footprints can be seen easily in mud or in sandy areas. You can Coyote Deer Rabbit also tell that small animals have been around by finding pine cones or acorns that have been chewed on. Raccoon Skunk Squirrel If you see trees that have the leaves stripped off the lower branches, there may be deer around your campsite. And look for feathers from birds that live in the area. • Play games It’s fun to invent games in your campsite. Try these: • Blindfold one person. Give him or her objects from the campsite to identify by touch. When the blindfolded person guesses wrong, you switch places. • Make a list of 10 items found in or around the campsite. Divide into teams. Whichever team brings back the most items from the list in 15 minutes wins.

Does your family ever go camping? Come along with us and find out more about this great way to have fun and enjoy America’s natural beauty.
First campers
One of the first people to encourage camping for fun was Thomas Hiram Holding. In 1853, when he was just 9 years old, he and his parents crossed the prairies of America as part of a wagon train. He wrote a book, “The Camper’s Handbook,” in 1908 and started camping clubs.
Why camping?

People like to camp for many reasons: • It’s not expensive. • Campers enjoy being close to nature. • Campgrounds can be found in all parts of the country and near many different attractions: lakes, oceans, mountains, deserts and forests. You can even camp in your own backyard!
vehicles, or RVs. These “homes on wheels” have many conveniences, such as stoves, TVs and bathrooms. They can be parked at campgrounds, where campers can plug into electricity. • Others like cabin camping. Some campgrounds have cabins for rent.
What will you need?
Getting ready for a camping trip is almost as much fun as the trip itself. You can help your family prepare by organizing the things you’ll need. Some people camp with very little gear. Others take along lots of things to make camping almost as comfortable as home. You might start with: • a tent, with stakes and a tarp to put under the tent (to keep you dry). • a sleeping bag (and a pad to make you more comfortable) and a pillow. • clothes. Even in the summer, it can be cool in the morning. Bring a jacket or sweatshirt. • a lantern or large flashlight. Once the sun goes down, a light will make it easier to play games or find your way to the restroom. • cookware, plates, utensils and cups. • a camp stove to heat water and cook on.

When it’s time to go home, be careful to leave your campsite as you found it. Remove all your trash. Make sure your fire is cold. Campers call this “leaving no trace.”
Different ways to camp
Most campers sleep in tents. But there are other forms of camping: • Some people own or rent recreational

Cook’s Corner
Global warming is wiping out twice as many marine species as land dwellers because they are more sensitive to temperature changes and less able to escape the heat, new research finds. The Rutgers Universityled study says this could have a major impact on humans who rely on fish and shellfish for food and jobs. Many land animals can hide from the heat in forests, shaded areas or underground. But this luxury is not available to many adapted with permission from Earthweek.com sea animals.
For later: Look in your newspaper for information or ads about local campgrounds.

CLEANING GUTTERS Dear Readers: Cleaning leaves and debris out of the gutters of your home -- that’s a fun Saturday chore, right? The purpose of a gutter is to move rainwater away from the foundation to prevent damage to the siding of your home and your flower beds, and to keep water out of the basement. There are some instances where you may not need a gutter system on your home: little rainfall where you live, your home is surrounded by stones for drainage, or your home is on a slope. You can either hire someone to clean your gutters, or you can carefully do it yourself. This is an important chore to keep your

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, June 16, 2019: This year, you often defer to another person. You might feel as if you have little choice, but you do. Try to incorporate different and seemingly opposing ideas together. It can be done if you look at the base issue. If single, you might date a lot before you even want to settle down. Make it OK to be single. If you’re attached, you work together as a couple to find a new way of gutting problems. You will become closer as a result. SAGITTARIUS encourages you to risk and grow.

This Week: The Full Moon encourages you to look beyond your normal thinking. Drop random mental filters. Your world will become more positive. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Sometimes you might find that deferring to another person who is very different from you can be hard. Look at it as a learning experience about how others work and process. Tonight: Go with the flow. Surprise! You could have a good time. This Week: You know how to get in close. If that effort fails, you could become remarkably distant. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might be weighing a decision that involves your health, such as a diet, more frequent visits to the

style. Others could react for a while. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You feel empowered once more. Before you blindly go off and enjoy your day, you might want to consider whether there is something or someone you want to touch base with. Tonight: Know that you can pull white rabbits out of a black hat if you so choose. This Week: Your finances could waver this week. If not, you have done a superb job managing them. Wednesday on, others seem attentive and caring. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Make it OK to take a back seat and not get actively involved. In fact, you might want to nix a social event and do your own thing. A must appearance is not inevitable. Opt for a lengthy snooze or time as a couch potato watching a movie. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. This Week: The Full Moon demonstrates any weaknesses you might have. Accept what you see, and you will regroup quickly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Friends play a significant role in your planning. Getting together with your pals often provides your most fun times.

This Week: A friend could deliver quite a jolt or surprise. You easily could remain in deep thought until Thursday. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Flow with an opportunity. You hear news that you might want to keep hush-hush. You will be able to do that for a while. You could feel confused by all that comes up, which you might not understand. Tonight: A must appearance. This Week: Pressure builds. Whether the pressure stems from your judgment or an authority figure’s demand could be hard to tell. You smile for the remainder of the week.

Man wonders about finding fulfillment after he retires DEAR ABBY: I have had a wonderful and fulfilling career, and a life with a few hard bumps along the road. My wife and I enjoy spending time together as empty nesters. For the last 16 years, I have built and led several not-for-profit organizations. After the last experience ended, we relocated, and I now have a less-demanding job I hope will take me into my retirement. I enjoy the position, but how do I prepare for a rewarding and fulfilling life once I’m no longer fully employed? My wife and I plan to winter in Florida, do some traveling and enjoy life. I have some hobbies I look forward to spending time on, but I’m hoping for more than just that. Looking back, I wonder if I may have devoted too much to my career. I guess I’m having trouble letting go of the wheel, the pace and the high expectations I have lived by all my adult life. Have you any suggestions to help me prepare for the next chapter? I will continue to help others and volunteer, but I need some guidance. -- TROUBLE LETTING GO IN PENNSYLVANIA
and it shows. They are both beautiful and healthy. I was particularly impressed when my father-inlaw recently informed me that, on a daily basis, he “practices” getting up from a fall by lying Abigail Van Buren down on the floor and then getting up without using his hands. He said he repeats the process several times a day because it keeps his core strong. I think it’s brilliant. Perhaps other seniors reading this will incorporate this practice into their daily routine if they are able to. -- BLESSED DAUGHTER-INLAW IN CALIFORNIA DEAR BLESSED: I’m glad you shared what your in-laws are doing in order to remain healthy. Anyone who hasn’t tried lying on the floor and getting up without using their hands may be in for a surprise the first time they try. It isn’t as easy as it sounds. The “trick” is to roll onto your knees and lift yourself one leg at a time without touching your thighs. I tried it, and I can do it -- but it took some practice. I encourage people of all ages to try.

Sports fan’s mania leaves little time for relationship noon, he literally sleeps in until an hour before. I’m tired of him being lazy, inattentive and making no effort in our relationship.

Find a man you have something in common with to spend your life with. You should have moved out and moved on years ago.
DEAR ABBY: For some strange reason, my sister-in-law “Yvonne” doesn’t want gifts. She has done a lot for us (baby-sits, etc.), and when we try to give her a little gift, she says she doesn’t want anything. She loves growing herbs, so we gave her an herb-growing kit. She refused to accept it and made us return it to the store. It hurt my feelings deeply. My husband and I have decided to not get her any more gifts. Her birthday was last week, and we didn’t do anything for her. It made me feel terrible. Why would someone not want to receive anything? I feel we are being robbed of the joy of giving. -- GENEROUS IN GEORGIA DEAR GENEROUS: Not knowing Yvonne, I can’t explain her personal reasons for not wanting gifts. I do know that some people are uncomfortable receiving them because they consider it to be an obligation -- plus they don’t like to shop, have no use for the item or it is not their taste. Rather than be upset with her for being honest with you, respect her wishes and on her birthday, send her a card. Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, June 17, 2019: This year, you swing from one opinion to another and might often throw people off. This behavior is not intentional, but rather the result of being able to see different perspectives and take them in with ease. Your understanding of problems and people grows by leaps and bounds. If single, you could be entranced by someone and think that you’ve met the one, only to feel disdain and dislike for the same person a month later. Make no commitments. If attached, you might be able to get where your sweetie comes from and create a more compassionate tie. SAGITTARIUS knows how to energize you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Check out an opportunity in the a.m. Give yourself the space to decide whether you want to be involved. An unexpected development could change your focus. Your determination to have what you want comes through. Tonight: A must appearance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Although you might not anticipate a situation, responding to what goes on could be important. A close discussion, in which you and the other party can relate more openly, proves to be more important. Tonight: Opt to be a duo. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might not want to put off an important discussion. You cannot seem to come to terms with an associate’s or friend’s ideas. For now, make a decision to go along with this person’s thinking. You could easily see the benefit later. Tonight: Dinner for two. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your feelings are often more apparent than you think they are. Push comes to shove when dealing with a friend who does the unexpected or surprises you. You might not want to be distracted, but you are anyway. Tonight: As you like. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You need to pace yourself and take care of a problem when it turns up. If handled quickly, the issue could vanish easily. Touch base with a loved one or a partner you care about. You might

be looking at a financial agreement. Tonight: Follow your heart. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Tension increases; you become uptight about all that you need to handle. Stop. Relax. Tap into your creativity. You’ll find an acceptable path. All will seem to dissolve away. Tonight: Acting as though there’s no tomorrow. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could be tired from a busy weekend or recent conversation. You start the day energized but, sure enough, suddenly find yourself wanting a nap. Listen to your body; take a power nap. Tonight: A partner or associate stuns you with his or her words or actions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Curb your spending if possible.

Tonight: Visiting with a favorite friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH This morning, you make a splash wherever you go. This afternoon, you might be confused by another person’s reaction. Stay more on target; know what you want and desire. Tonight: Keep to your budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH How you feel in the a.m. has nothing to do with how you feel in the p.m. Midday, your energy starts changing, and you’ll feel far more dynamic and efficient.

Employers don’t deserve credit Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about employers having access to a potential employee’s credit score. “Dear Heloise: I applied for a job with a large company and was turned down for the position after three interviews. I have a solid track record, with plenty of experience and recommendations from former employers. I’m still in my mid-30s and have a master’s degree, and I’m in good health. In my last position, I won several company awards, and I have never been fired or asked to leave. So, what went wrong? “They checked my credit score and found out that I had filed for bankruptcy three years ago. This was due to medical bills from my son’s very difficult birth, which my insurance wouldn’t cover. When is Congress going to make it illegal for an employer to invade my private financial information?” -- Todd L., Fayetteville, N.C. Todd, yours is not the first letter we’ve received about this matter. People have missed out on a job because of slow payments, foreclosure on a home and more. -- Heloise FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some other uses for old dressers: * Paint in bright colors and use outside in the garden to grow plants in the drawers. * Place in the garage to store items. * Remove drawers and place baskets in their place. * Replace legs with wheels and use as a kitchen island. -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I are both 34 and have been dating for eight years. I love him, but I’m tired of him being so selfish and self-centered. His free time revolves around hockey games on the ice and on TV, baseball on the field and on TV and football season TV. Basically, his butt is glued to the couch. Every day when I get home from a 10-hour day at the office, he’s sitting there watching a game on TV, getting ready to watch a game or getting ready to go to a game. I’m lucky if I get a kiss on the cheek and a five-minute “hello” before he’s gone or his eyes are glued to that damned TV. He complains because he wants me to watch with him or join him. Occasionally I will, but honestly, it’s not my thing, and I have no interest. I do it just for him, but when it comes to something I want him to do with me, he makes a fuss, doesn’t want to participate and makes me feel bad for even asking. My life consists of spending time alone at the mall every Saturday or Sunday to get out of the house and just get a day of sunlight, or reading a book upstairs in our room. If his weekend games don’t start until the after-
