Deadline for Pebble draft EIS comments nears

In the news Medical examiner identifies body pulled from Kuskokwim River ANCHORAGE — The state medical examiner has identified a body pulled from the Kuskokwim River near the village of Napakiak.

Alaska State Troopers say the dead man was 28-year-old Stacey Hoagland Jr. of Akiak.

Hoagland’s boat capsized in September and he could not be found.

Boaters spotted the body June 19 and summoned troopers from Bethel.

Akiak residents consider staying in homes threatened by erosion AKIAK — Alaska residents living near a riverbank threatened by erosion are facing a choice of whether to move, and some want to remain in their homes, a report said.

Six houses in Akiak are within 100 feet of the Kuskokwim River, with one home 20 feet from the water, KYUK-AM reported Tuesday.

Erosion caused a one-mile section of the embankment to fall into the river last month and the community of about 350 people northeast of Bethel is attempting to find relocation money.

Akiak officials are working on a hazard mitigation plan in the hopes it will become eligible for state disaster funding this year.

Peter Gilila said moving his house will cost almost $100,000, while adding utilities will compound the cost.

Gilila owns one of the homes closest to the river and said he will remain as long as there is running water, because the river water is contaminated.

He is prepared to rebuild rather than relocate.

“Because I can rebuild. And that’s what we do, that’s what we’ve always been doing: rebuilding. This is not a new situation for me,” Gilila said.

City Administrator David Gilila, Peter’s brother, has been working to secure funds to move the homes closest to the river.

Swan Lake Fire snarls traffic

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Significant delays should be expected for the next few days on the Sterling Highway as smoke from the Swan Lake Fire

has led to severely reduced visibility from Mile 58 to Mile 75.5 just east of Sterling.

Wednesday morning, traffic came to a standstill from approximately 5:30 to 8:45 a.m. because visibility

had been reduced to zero, and normal flagging and pilot car operations were put on hold until visibility improved. Shannon McCarthy, administrative operations manager with the Department of Transporta-

tion, said to be prepared for delays of up to 90 minutes — especially between midnight and 8 a.m. — and recommended bringing extra food, water and fuel if planning to travel along this portion of the highway.

The deadline to submit comments on the draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for the proposed Pebble Mine project is Monday, July 1.

The draft EIS details how aspects of the project subject to permitting by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are proposed to be executed. Download and read the draft EIS at pebbleprojecteis.com/documents/eis.

The Corps wwwwill take comments until July 1, and use them to incorporate changes into a final EIS slated to be released in early 2020. Following the final EIS the Corps will make a Record of Decision on the Pebble Limited Partnership application for the project.

This is scheduled to be released also in 2020. The Corps can either issue the permit, issue it along with See EIS, page A3

‘Pebble never. Bristol Bay forever’ Community members rally against mining project

By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

About 30 people gathered in front of U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s Soldotna office Wednesday to oppose the proposed Pebble Mine project.

Georgie Heaverley is a second-generation Cook Inlet commercial fisherman and a community organizer for Cook Inletkeeper. She said the rally was meant to send a message to Murkowski, urging her to “stand with Alaskans and oppose this project.”

“We’ve opposed this project for years and years,” Heaverley said.

“Though we’re little voices — we stand together.

But we cannot put an end to this broken fast-track process alone. We need Sen. Murkowski’s help to do so.”

Demonstrators held signs along the Sterling

The rally was one of Highway saying things like, “Pebble doesn’t rock” six being held this week in and “Pebble never. Bristol front of Murkowski’s offices across the state. The Bay forever.”

rallies ask for Murkowski’s “oversight and action in calling for a suspension of the NEPA process for

Pebble,” a Tuesday press release from Cook Inletkeeper, who helped organize the local event, said.

“It’s the last week for the public comment period and we’re looking to our leaders and decision-makers to take a harder stand with Alaskans and call out the flaws of this process,” Satchel Pondolfino, who helped organize the event for Cook Inletkeeper, said.

The Pebble Mine project — first proposed by Cominco Limited in the late 1980s and now being proposed by Pebble Limited Partnership — seeks to develop a deposit containing billions of tons of copper, gold and molybdenum on state land in Southwest Alaska, about 100 miles from Bristol Bay, as the crow flies. With a projected lifespan of 20 years, the project is expected to created 1,500 to 2,000 total jobs, according to the See MINE, page A2

AG: Dunleavy can seek court order in session dispute

By Becky Bohrer Associated Press

JUNEAU — Alaska’s attorney general said Wednesday that Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy has the authority to call a special session where he wishes and the op-

tion of seeking a court order to compel rebellious lawmakers to convene in his chosen location of Wasilla.

How far Dunleavy plans to push the issue — his latest dustup with lawmakers — remains to be seen.

Attorney General Kevin

Clarkson’s position is at odds with that of the Legislature’s top legal adviser, Megan Wallace, who in a memo said a governor does not have the constitutional power to compel the Legislature to meet in a location other than the capital of Juneau. Clarkson

told reporters the writers of the state’s constitution, if they wished, could have limited where a special session could be held but didn’t.

The constitution permits the governor to call a special session and for lawmakers to call themselves into one

if they can muster sufficient votes.

Dunleavy called for a special session, starting July 8, in Wasilla, where he’s from.

But House Speaker Bryce Edgmon and Senate President Cathy Giessel this week said See AG, page A3

Juneau assembly votes to give district new Native name JUNEAU (AP) — The city assembly in Alaska’s capital has voted to rename a district with a traditional Native name, a report said.

The City and Borough of Juneau Assembly voted Monday to change the Willoughby District to the

Aakw Kwaan Village District, The Juneau Empire reported Tuesday.

The area was home to a neighbourhood known as the “Indian Village” and became a traditional summer village site for Alaska Native people.

Renaming the downtown district bordering Willoughby Avenue acknowledges the Aakw Kwaan people settled the area, officials said.

Willoughby Avenue will not be renamed as part of the resolution.

The new name becomes effective immediately following adoption of the resolution, officials said.

Aakw Kwaan spokesperson Frances Houston attended the meeting Monday and said Alaska Natives are pleased with the change.

“I discussed it with other Aakw Kwaan, and they voted on it, and they’re happy,” she said.

Residents may need time to adapt to the change, but the city will begin using the new name in ongoing projSee NAME, page A3

Pebble Partnership.

Last week the U.S. House passed an amendment to the federal budget that would suspend funding for permitting of the proposed Pebble Mine project.

Demonstrators outside of the Blazy Mall hope Murkowski and other senators pass the amendment.

“The process is moving at unprecedented speeds,” Heaverley said. “It’s not fair. I want to believe in the process, but I can’t when it’s so unfair and they’ve overlooked so much in their draft (environmental impact statement). We’re pleading with Murkowski to speak for us and stand up for Alaska and end Pebble Mine.”

Some residents are concerned with how the mine would affect the Bristol Bay wild salmon fishery, the largest in the world.

“The threat it poses to the region of Bristol Bay — the livelihoods of the fisheries, the economic value that those pose to the region, the cultures of the indigenous people …”

Heaverley said.

Tom Thibodeau, who has been flying in the region for 35 years, said he was at the rally because he wants to see the area free of development and more welcoming to wildlife.

“There used to be a lot of caribou over there before they started developing it — you know checking in and looking at that area with helicopters and a lot of other activity,” Thibodeau said. “I’d like to see it go back. It’s just not the right spot for it. It’s right at the headwaters of all of the Bristol Bay fishery rivers. It needs to be stopped. We don’t need it.

We don’t need the gold.”

Friends of the McNeil River recently gave a presentation in May regarding the mine’s potential impacts on the area’s bear

viewing industry at the Kenai and Soldotna Joint Chamber Luncheon. At their June 18 meeting, the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly voted down a resolution that would urge the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to consider the economic impacts to the bear viewing industry in the Pebble Mine environmental impact statement.

Assembly member Willy Dunne, who sponsored the resolution, said the document didn’t take a stand on the issue, but asked the U.S. Army Corps to consider any economic impacts.

“We just need to take a good hard look at this,” Dunne said at the meeting.

The assembly voted it down 6-3, and assembly President Wayne Ogle saw the resolution as “unnecessary and at the eleventh hour.”

“I spent a couple years working on the North Slope on the pipeline and I can tell you, polar bears and brown bears don’t care two hoots about the road or the pipeline,” assembly member Dale Bagley said at the meeting. “They go where they want, when

they want. I do think the Pebble Partnership has looked at this.”

On Wednesday, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it would resume considering whether to withdraw proposed Obama-era restrictions on mining activity in Alaska’s Bristol Bay region.

The EPA, as part of a 2017 settlement with the developer of the proposed Pebble Mine, agreed to initiate a process for withdrawing the proposed restrictions. But in January 2018, the EPA suspended that effort, saying it wanted more information on how the project could impact fish. The EPA has said Bristol Bay produces about half the world’s sockeye salmon. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is evaluating a permit application by the developer.

In a statement, Murkowski said she has never supported preemptive restrictions for any project in Alaska.

“It is inappropriate for an agency to prejudge a project years before its developer has filed a permit application,” Murkowski said. “Allowing agencies to expand their authority in this man-

ner would be a dangerous precedent that undermines confidence in the normal, well-established permitting process.”

Murkowski urged the EPA to make any concerns it has known to the Army Corps of Engineers.

“I continue to reserve judgment about the Pebble mine and am closely following the permitting process to determine whether it can avoid harming Bristol Bay’s world-class fishery,” Murkowski said. “EPA’s intent to elevate the environmental concerns for this project is the right decision and will help ensure they are fully addressed. I look forward to reviewing EPA’s comments, as well as the comments being filed by Alaskans and scientists.”

The Army Corps of Engineers released its draft environmental impact statement for the Pebble project in February. Public comment for the draft environmental impact statement closes Monday.

Murkowski’s office did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.

the Legislature instead plans to convene in Juneau and hold most meetings in Anchorage.

Clarkson said Dunleavy asked him for his legal options. Clarkson said he could seek a court order compelling lawmakers not present in Wasilla to go there and have Alaska State Troopers roundup those who defy any such court order. “I have no idea whether he’ll choose that or not,” Clarkson said.

Dunleavy also possibly could join a lawsuit filed by a citizen or simply let lawmakers meet where they want, Clarkson said.

Dunleavy spokesman Matt Shuckerow said Dunleavy would be able to address those issues later.

A 1982 state law says a special session may be held at any location in Alaska and says if a governor calls one for a location other than the capital that should be designated in the governor’s special session proclamation. Dunleavy did that.

Wallace, in response to a request for analysis from Edgmon, writes that in her review, it seems evident the Legislature at that time “did not contemplate a scenario, like here, where the governor would designate a location in a special session proclamation absent an agreement with the legislature.”

Clarkson said it’s “remarkable” for the Legislature to declare a law that it passed in 1982 is unconstitutional.

Wallace’s memo notes no other governor has called a special session for somewhere other than Juneau and special sessions held outside Juneau, in Anchorage, were initiated by the Legislature, which can call itself into special session if it can muster the votes.

The state constitution lists the capital as Juneau, and Wallace writes that delegates intended that capital would describe the place where leg-

islative sessions were held.

Clarkson acknowledged the reference to Juneau as the capital. But he said “there’s a world of difference between that and saying that that’s the only place they can meet.”

Wallace said the current situation raises separationof-powers issues. The Legislature’s power to provide for meeting areas, staff, security and other services “is essential to its functioning as an independent branch of government. To preserve the legislature’s independence, a court may ultimately find it a violation of the separation of powers doctrine to give the governor the power to establish the location of a legislative session.”

Edgmon and Giessel said the Legislature was one short of the votes needed to call its own special session. But they said a majority of legislators in both chambers consider it the Legislature’s right to determine the best location and venue to conduct business.

Some legislators cited concerns with security and the logistics of a special session in Wasilla.

Rep. Colleen SullivanLeonard of Wasilla, a minority Republican, said discussions with legislative leadership have been lacking and that the first she heard of plans to meet in Juneau and Anchorage was in a news release.

“People are making decisions without really sitting down … to have a discussion on, ‘Where will we be on July 8?”’ she said. “Certainly our intent, the Mat-Su delegation’s intent, is to be in Wasilla, where the governor has deemed that the special session should be held.” The delegation includes lawmakers from Wasilla and surrounding areas.

Lawmakers were unable to complete their work during a 121-day regular session and a special session in Juneau.

This isn’t the first dustup between Dunleavy and lawmakers. The Legislative Council has agreed to prepare for a lawsuit in a disagreement with the administration over school funding.

Fire crews have occupied the southbound lane of the highway as they perform back-burning operations to prevent the Swan Lake Fire from spreading closer to the highway. Crews are burning fuel from the northern side of the highway to create a fuel break that will meet the fire on its southern perimeter. The flaggers and pilot car operators directing traffic in the remaining lane have come from nearby road construction projects along the highway, which McCarthy said is both a positive and a negative.

“The good news is that the resources were close by for us to utilize, but the bad news is that construction will be delayed, and we were hoping to start paving this week,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy said that if the fire manages to spread to the other side of the highway, DOT will have to close the road.

Following the backburning operations, deputy incident commander Ed Sanford said that the ground

crews will move west and work along the eastern side of Watson Lake to connect to the fire line already established on the southwest perimeter.

The Swan Lake Fire currently stands at 42,133 acres and is staffed by 550 people from a variety of local, state and federal agencies, including five crews from the Lower 48. Public information officer for the incident management team, Bud Sexton, said that the fire is expected to spread further south over the next couple of days, hence the need for back-burning operations along the highway.

Sexton said that firefighting operations — especially with wildland fires — are heavily dependent upon the weather. Incident meteorologists have predicted warm, dry days coming up that will exacerbate the spread of the blaze. During a community meeting Wednesday night, incident meteorologist Ben Bartos said that there is a high-pressure system to the south that is causing warm weather on the peninsula.

The system is expected to move into the peninsula and push the temperature into the upper 80s in some areas

over the weekend.

While most of the fire continues to spread undeterred, Sexton said that the southwest perimeter closest to the community of Sterling has been contained, and the fire has not spread in that direction for several days, according to daily updates from the incident management team. In addition, several fuel breaks were created along the eastern and northern perimeters of Sterling over the past several years that will help prevent the fire from spreading into the community or near critical infrastructure.

Dan Nelson, emergency manager for the Borough’s Office of Emergency Management, said that the neighborhoods identified as being “at-risk” have been thoroughly assessed by the borough and the incident management team. The people living in those areas have been contacted by emergency personnel and the emergency responders know what will be needed in terms of equipment and resources for any given area that may require evacuation.

OEM operates on a threephase strategy of emergency response, which Nelson

referred to as “Ready, Set, Go.” As of now, OEM is working under the “ready” phase, which means information about evacuation has been distributed and people should have plans in place of where they can go and what they need to take with them in the event of an evacuation.

About 150 people attended the public meeting at the Sterling Community Center Wednesday night. Sterling resident Bonnie Smith said she has been very impressed with the regular updates from local media outlets and the agencies managing the fire.

“It seems like you can go on Facebook and get an update every few hours,” Smith said.

Smith compared the public outreach with how information about wildland fires was distributed in the past, and described the difference as “night and day.”

Judy Warren, also from Sterling, said that the turnout for the meeting was slightly smaller than the first one. The Alaska Division of Forestry has broadcast both of the meetings on its Facebook page, and Warren guessed that some people opted to watch from home this time.

What others say

What a single image says about US immigration policy Sometimes a photograph captures

the inhumanity of the world in a way that words never could. Such was the case this week with the searing shot of Óscar Alberto Martinez Ramírez and his 23-month-old daughter, Valerie, face down in the muddy Rio Grande, after they had drowned in their determined quest for refuge in the United States.

The photo by Julia Le Duc, first published in the Mexican newspaper La Jornada then distributed around the globe by the Associated Press, was haunting in its detail. The toddler’s right arm was curled around his neck. His black Tshirt was wrapped around her to hold her close as they crossed the river.

It was the most universal of human interactions: parent protecting child against danger, and child clinging to her ultimate source of safety.

For the child’s mother, who watched her loved ones swept away in the current, it was the most unthinkable of horrors.

It should tug at the conscience of all Americans.

The Salvadoran family had wanted to seek asylum the safe way — the legal way, as prescribed in U.S. and international law — by presenting themselves at the port of entry. The international bridge at Matamoros, Mexico, was closed that day. So they took a risk, as so many desperate refugees do, too often with tragic results.

That heartbreaking sight puts in perspective the U.S. customs policy of “metering” — severely reducing the number of migrants who can request asylum on any given day — and the Trump administration’s expressed intent to discourage people fleeing crime and poverty for a better life by complicating their options for legal entry. The 25-year-old Martinez had struggled to support his family on $350 a month working at a Papa John’s in El Salvador.

“They went for the American dream,” his mother said.

This is not the first time a photo of a child has commanded the world’s attention on crisis: there was the lifeless 3-year-old Syrian boy on the beach after the sinking of a refugee boat in 2015; the blood-and-dust-covered Syrian 5-year-old pulled from a building bombed by the Russians the same year; the starving Sudanese girl being eyed by a vulture in 1993.

This one is on us. We can’t look the other way.

We must challenge the policies that led them to the river.

Public radio keeps Alaskans safe, informed and engaged From Utqiagvik, to Ketchikan, some 30,000 Alaskans are members of their local radio or TV public broadcasting stations. Many local and statewide businesses support public broadcasting through underwriting the cost of delivering quality programming. And the entire public broadcasting system is an economic engine — supporting 368 full and part-time jobs in small communities such as Bethel and Sitka, to the cities of Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau.

Reliant on state funding decades ago, the system managers have worked hard to diversify the revenue stream — especially after the Alaska Legislature cut almost half of the funding to public broadcasting during the recession in 2016. In fact, the state portion is now just 11% of total funding.

After the 45% cut, there were layoffs, cuts in programming and increased efficiencies through new collaboration among stations. For example, CoastAlaska has linked Southeast Alaska radio stations into a cost-saving model that allows critical resources to stay at the community radio stations. All stations have soldiered on — with an army of thousands of volunteers and a lean professional staff providing thousands of hours of local news, weather, fishing and hunting openings and closures, plus educational and public affairs programming to their communities.

The 27 radio stations and four TV stations also form an important link in

the State of Alaska Emergency Alert System, which is critical for communities impacted by earthquakes, tsunamis and other potential life-threatening disasters. Reliable, timely coverage can save lives.

It’s clear that everyone — from residents, to businesses, to our state and federal governments are all key partners that keep Alaskans connected, informed and safe.

This year the Legislature approved level funding — $2.7 million, that will be divided among the stations. Across party lines, lawmakers recognize and value the work being done on behalf of Alaskans. But the word on the street is that Gov. Michael J. Dunleavy will veto the entire amount.

But we remain optimistic. As a former educator, Gov. Dunleavy lived in Kotzebue and knows how KOTZ AM radio has been cornerstone for that town and the surrounding villages for decades. The news important to rural communities is not covered well from urban areas. When a 10-year-old girl went missing last year, Kotzebue residents relied on local radio, with support from Alaska Public Media reporters, to stay informed and then stayed connected through the grief of finding the murdered victim and the knowledge that the story and its aftermath would continue to be covered locally, long after the TV cameras had left the scene.

Gov. Dunleavy knows that Alaska

citizens can engage with state government through live television coverage broadcast statewide during the legislative session. And he saw the impact of the Anchorage earthquake and the critical need for reliable, accurate information for citizens during a disaster.

Last week, public radio and TV station managers participated in our annual meeting and shared with us the impact of losing the modest state grants should the money be vetoed.

Despite station collaboration, increased local fundraising, partnering with businesses and cutting costs to the bone, an additional cut by the state will have the greatest impact on medium sized stations who must meet stringent federal requirements in order to access federal funds. Losing positions and cutting programming weakens a proven, economical communication system that brings Alaskans together every day with information that matters.

Our job is to allocate the modest amount of state funds approved by the Legislature. We have done so in good faith and look forward to completing that task July 1.

Trump, Democrats blame each other for migrant deaths

By JILL COLVIN, DEB RIECHMANN and WILL WEISSERT Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Democrats blamed each other Wednesday for the deaths of a migrant father and his toddler daughter whose bodies were seen in searing photographs, symbolizing the perils faced by those trying to cross illegally into the U.S. Speaking to reporters as he left the White House for a four-day trip to Asia, Trump said he was disturbed by the images. But he said the deaths could have been prevented and castigated Democrats for failing to pass legislation he claimed would stop people from trying to make the dangerous trek.

“If we had the right laws, that the Democrats are not letting us have, those people, they wouldn’t be coming up.

They wouldn’t be trying,” the president said. “They can change it very easily so people don’t come up and people won’t get killed.”

Oscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez and daughter Valeria were trying to cross into the U.S. after fleeing from El Salvador when they were swept into the Rio Grande.

Photos by journalist Julia Le Duc and first published by Mexican newspaper La Jornada show their bodies lying face-down near the riverbank. Her arm was draped around his neck, suggesting she clung to her father in their final moments.

“I hate it,” Trump said when asked about the image, “and I know it could stop immediately if the Democrats

change the law. They have to change the laws. And then that father, who probably was this wonderful guy, with his daughter, things like that wouldn’t happen.”

Both the Senate and House has approved separate legislation to provide funding for the care of migrants streaming into the U.S., but the bills have yet to be merged and the next step is unclear.

Congressional leaders hope to send Trump a compromise measure before lawmakers leave town for a July 4 recess.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted Trump for saying “‘Let’s blame the Democrats.’”

“That’s a disgrace. Mr. President, you are President of the United States,” Schumer said. “You are head of the Executive Branch. You control what’s happening at the border.”

Many Democrats vying to deny Trump a second term responded, meanwhile, by spending the final hours before their party’s first primary debate in Miami visiting a detention facility for immigrant teenagers about 40 miles to the southwest in Homestead.

“There were children who were being marched like little soldiers, like little prisoners,” said Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who wasn’t allowed inside but was permitted to look over the fence.

She added that she didn’t see children playing or laughing “like they usually do.”

“This is not what we should be doing as a country,” Warren said. “These children committed no crime, these children pose no threat.”

Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, the

Democrat representing the area encompassing the Homestead facility, invited the entire field of 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls to visit, saying the Trump administration was “inflicting maximum pain on families that flee trying to build a better life.” She is pushing for the complex to be shutdown.

Already, California Rep. Eric Swalwell and Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota came to review the facility, in addition to Warren. Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders are scheduled to visit Thursday, while other 2020 Democratic presidential candidates planning similar trips include Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, former housing secretary Julian Castro, ex-U.S. Rep. John Delaney and Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana.

O’Rourke tweeted a link to Le Duc’s photo and declared, “Trump is responsible for these deaths.”

From the scorching Sonora desert to the at-times fast-moving Rio Grande, the U.S.-Mexico border can be a perilous setting for those who cross it illegally between ports of entry.

Two babies, a toddler and a woman were found dead on Sunday, overcome by the sweltering heat.

Elsewhere, three children and an adult from Honduras died in April after their raft capsized on the Rio Grande, and a 6-year-old from India was found dead earlier this month in Arizona, where temperatures routinely soar well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Nation/World ‘They died in each other’s arms,’ migrant’s mother says

By MARCOS ALEMÁN Associated Press

SAN MARTIN, El Salvador — The mother of a man who drowned alongside his 23-monthold daughter while trying to cross the Rio Grande into Texas says she finds a heartbreaking photograph of their bodies hard to look at, but also comforting for how they clung to each other in their final moments.

“You can see how he protected her, they died in each other’s arms,” Rosa Ramirez said.

Her 25-year-old son, Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez, and his daughter Valeria were swept away by the current near Matamoros, Mexico, and Brownsville, Texas, this week. The grim photo showed the girl tucked inside her father’s shirt for protection with her arm draped over his neck — an image that underscores the dangers migrants face trying to make it to the United States and the desperate measures they resort to in the face of policies designed to deter them.

“It’s tough, it’s kind of shocking, that image,” Ramírez, told The Associ-

ated Press, speaking at their Salvadoran home. “But at the same time, it fills me with tenderness. I feel so many things because at no time did he let go of her.”

Ramírez had shared the sea-green brick home with barred windows in San Martin on the outskirts of the capital, San Salvador, with her son, his wife, 21-year-old Tania Vanessa Ávalos and their daughter until the young family decided to make the journey north.

In their working-class neighborhood of about 40,000, Martínez worked in a pizzeria and Ávalos as a cashier in a fast-food restaurant, Ramírez said.

The area has had problems with gang violence but these days it “is calm,” she said, adding that he never had any problems with gangs — they left for economic reasons.

Ramírez said that she had given them the big room in the two-bedroom house, but they dreamed of saving money for a place of their own and that drove the family to head for the United States in early April.

“I told him, ‘Son, don’t go. But if you do go, leave

me the girl,’” Ramírez said. “‘No, mamá,’” she said he replied. “‘How can you think that I would leave her?’ He didn’t have the courage to leave her.’”

Now she feels a hole that “nobody can fill, but God gives me strength,” Ramirez said.

Marta Argueta de Andrade, their 50-year-old neighbor, said she met the family about five years ago. She described them as “good people,” and Martínez as an easygoing young man.

“I would see him walking with the girl. He called her ‘little curly one,’” Argueta said. “It was very

sweet.”

Officials have said the bodies were expected to be returned to El Salvador on Thursday. Ramírez said she wasn’t sure when they would arrive, but that the government was paying for it.

“I would say to those who are thinking of migrating, they should think it over because not everyone can live that American dream you hear about,” Ramírez said.

“We can put up a fight here. How much I would like to have my son and my granddaughter here. One way or another, we get by in our country.”

Divide between rural, urban Oregon is fueling climate fight

By GILLIAN FLACCUS Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore. — The divide in Oregon between the state’s liberal cities and its conservative and economically depressed rural areas has made it fertile ground for the political crisis unfolding over a push by Democrats to enact sweeping climate legislation.

Eleven Republican senators are entering the seventh day of a walkout Wednesday to deny the supermajority Democrats the number of lawmakers needed to vote on a cap and trade bill, which would be the second of its kind in the U.S. The stalemate has drawn international attention, in part because right-wing militias have rallied to the GOP cause.

One Republican lawmaker said state troopers dispatched to hunt down the striking lawmakers should “come heavily armed” if they want to bring him back to the Capitol.

“This is not the Oregon way and cannot be rewarded,” Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said. “The

Republicans are driving us away from the values that Oregonians hold dear, and are moving us dangerously close to the self-serving stalemate in Washington, D.C.” Experts say the standoff was inevitable given the state’s political makeup.

Oregon has a national reputation as a liberal bastion best known for its craft beer, doughnuts and award-winning wine. But while its cities lean left, about 40% of residents — mostly those in rural areas — consistently vote Republican, said Priscilla Southwell, a University

of Oregon professor who wrote “Governing Oregon.”

“The reality is that it is a much more divided state than people realize,” she said. “It’s kind of like a perfect storm for this kind of thing to happen.”

That political divide also translates to an economic chasm for many.

As Portland has boomed, huge swaths of the state have been left without enough money to keep libraries open or fully staff sheriff’s departments.

Logging, which once thrived, has almost vanished because of environ-

mental restrictions and a changing global economy.

Rural voters worry the climate legislation would be the end for logging and trucking.

“It’s going to ruin so many lives, it’s going to put so many people out of work,” said Bridger Hasbrouck, a self-employed logger from Dallas, Oregon. “If the guys that I’m cutting for can’t afford to run their logging companies, then I have to figure out something different.”

The proposal would dramatically reduce greenhouse gases over 30 years by capping carbon emissions and requiring businesses to buy or trade from an ever-dwindling pool of pollution “allowances.”

Democrats say the legislation is critical to make Oregon a leader in the fight against climate change and will ultimately create jobs and transform the economy.

Republicans say it will kill jobs, raise the cost of fuel and other goods and gut small businesses. They also say they’ve been left out of policy negotiations, an assertion the governor called “hogwash.”

Supreme leader says Iranians won’t budge over US sanctions

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s supreme leader said Wednesday that Iranians will not budge or change their stand following new U.S. sanctions targeting Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his associates, the latest in a torrent of sharp verbal responses from Tehran in the wake of the measures.

President Donald Trump enacted the new sanctions against Khamenei and others on Monday and U.S. officials also said they plan sanctions against

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

The sanctions followed Iran’s downing last week of a U.S. surveillance drone, worth over $100 million, over the Strait of Hormuz, sharply escalating the crisis.

The top Iranian cleric’s website quoted Khamenei as calling the Trump administration “the most sinister” U.S. government, adding that Washington’s calls for negotiation with Iran are deceitful and amount to “obvious cruelty.”

“The most hated figures of such an administration accuse and insult the Iranian nation,” Khamenei

Around the World

said. “The Iranian nation will not budge and will not withdraw because of the insults.”

The crisis gripping the Middle East stems from Trump’s withdrawal of the United States a year ago from the nuclear deal between Iran and other world powers and then imposing crippling new sanctions on Tehran.

Recently, Iran quadrupled its production of lowenriched uranium to be on pace to break one of the deal’s terms by Thursday, while also threatening to raise enrichment closer to weapons-grade levels on July 7 if European countries still abiding by the accord don’t offer a new deal.

Iran warned on Tuesday that the new U.S. sanctions targeting Khamenei and other officials meant “closing the doors of diplomacy” between Tehran and Washington. President Hassan Rouhani derided the White House as being “afflicted by mental retardation.”

Trump called that a “very ignorant and insulting statement,” tweeting that an Iranian attack on any U.S. interest will be met with “great and overwhelming

force … overwhelming will mean obliteration.” His secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, said the Iranian statement was “immature.”

After the downing of the U.S. drone last week, Trump pulled back from the brink of retaliatory military strikes but continued his pressure campaign against Iran.

The drone shootdown was only the latest in a series of attacks in the region in recent months. The U.S. has blamed Iran for the suspected attacks on two oil tankers, alleging that used limpet mines to target the tankers, pointing to black-and-white footage it captured that American officials describe as Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops removing an unexploded mine from a Japanese-operated tanker.

Similarly, four oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates were apparently targeted in acts of sabotage, which U.S. officials have also blamed on Iran. Tehran denied the charges. And in mid-May, Iranian-allied Yemeni rebels claimed they were behind a drone attack on a Saudi oil pipeline.

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of an international summit in Japan, the Kremlin said Wednesday, in talks that come amid bitter differences between Moscow and Washington.

Trump has said he plans to meet with Putin during the Group of 20 summit in Osaka, and Putin has said he welcomes dialogue and is ready to sit down for talks. Wednesday’s statement by Putin’s foreign affairs adviser, Yuri Ushakov, marked the official Kremlin confirmation of the two presidents’ meeting on Friday.

Ushakov said the meeting is set to last about an hour, though it will be up to the presidents to decide.

He added that the talks are expected to touch on arms control issues and international crises, including the Iranian nuclear deal, Syria, North Korea and Ukraine.

“Russia and the United States can work together efficiently on the basis of equality and mutual respect,” Ushakov said, adding that the Kremlin “stands for developing Russian-U.S. relations in a constructive and businesslike way.”

Russia-U.S. ties have sunk to their lowest level since the Cold War over the crisis in Ukraine, the war in Syria and Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Putin has denied that Russia has meddled in the vote to help Trump win, even though U.S. special counsel Robert Mueller has uncovered extensive evidence to the contrary.

Putin and Trump have met on the sidelines of several international meetings, most recently at the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires last fall. They also had a fullfledged summit in Helsinki, Finland last July, after which Trump had faced fierce criticism at home for accepting Putin’s denial of meddling in the U.S. vote.

New rounds of anti-Russia sanctions followed the Helsinki meeting, and Trump has announced the withdrawal from a key arms control pact signed in 1987 with the then Soviet Union. Putin followed suit. The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty is set to terminate this summer, raising fears of a new arms race.

North Korea says it won’t surrender to US-led sanctions SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea said Wednesday it won’t surrender to U.S.-led sanctions and accused Washington of trying to “bring us to our knees.”

The statement is yet another reminder that North Korea keeps mistrust of the U.S. though its leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump recently exchanged letters.

Their second summit in Hanoi in February ended without any agreement due to disputes over the extent of sanctions relief North Korea should win in return for a limited denuclearization step.

The North’s Foreign Ministry said it “will not hesitate to pull a muscle-flexing trigger in order to defend ourselves” if anyone dares to trample over its sovereignty.

It accused the U.S. of maintaining hostility toward North Korea. It cited recent U.S. reports on alleged human trafficking and religious crackdowns in North Korea, and comments by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that some 80-plus percent of the North Korean economy is sanctioned.

Pompeo “let loose a sophistry as if the sanctions are rendering the bilateral talks possible,” said the statement, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

The statement said all these developments show the “wild dream of the U.S. to bring us to our knees by means of sanctions and pressure has not changed at all but grows even more undisguised.”

It said North Korea is “not a country that will surrender to the U.S. sanctions.”

The letter exchanges between Kim and Trump suggested the two leaders hoped to keep diplomacy alive, though there have been no publicly known official meetings between the two countries since the collapse of the Hanoi summit.

Trump is scheduled to arrive for a two-day visit to South Korea on Saturday.

2 more deputies fired in Parkland, Florida, school shooting MIAMI — Two additional deputies have been fired as a result of an internal affairs investigation into the agency’s response to the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland that killed 17 people, the Broward County sheriff said Wednesday.

At a brief news conference, Sheriff Gregory Tony said deputies Edward Eason and Josh Stambaugh were fired Tuesday for their inaction following the Feb. 14, 2018, shooting.

“In essence, it was neglect of duty. We lost 17 people,” Tony said.

A state investigative commission found that Stambaugh was working an off-duty shift at a nearby school when he responded to reports of shots fired at the school. He got out of his truck, put on his bulletproof vest and took cover for about five minutes after hearing the shots, according to body camera footage. He then drove to a nearby highway instead of going toward the school.

Eason ran the other way as gunfire continued, then spent time putting on his bulletproof vest and body camera while the carnage continued, investigators said.

Eason was also faulted for not writing an official report after receiving a tip in February 2016 that the shooting suspect, Nikolas Cruz, was making threats on social media to shoot up a school. Tips to the FBI about Cruz also were not followed up, a separate investigation has found.

Two other deputies were fired earlier this month for neglect of duty. One of those was school resource officer Scot Peterson, who was also arrested on charges of child neglect, culpable negligence and perjury. Peterson’s lawyer has said he will fight the charges.

The sheriff said no action was taken on three other deputies who were involved in the investigation.

For Durant and Leonard, goal is stay put

By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer

Toronto’s Kawhi Leonard and Golden State’s Kevin Durant are both very difficult to figure out.

They seem to enjoy giving cryptic answers, a minimum of clues, and clearly relish having enigmatic status.

It makes free agency tough to forecast.

Luckily for Toronto and Golden State, the math should be very simple.

Leonard and Durant are the biggest dominoes that will fall sometime after the free-agent window

opens Sunday evening — unless, of course, neither ends up falling elsewhere and decide to stay put for now. And that is what the math says both of them would be wisest to do.

Durant will be offered a $221 million, five-year contract from Golden State. That’s one year and $57 million more than any other team can offer. Provided that he won’t be playing next year anyway because of his ruptured Achilles and that there’s no guarantee that the after-surgery version of Durant will remain in the best-player-onthe-planet conversation, it would be less than prudent to leave that

much money on the table.

“He’s been everything to us,” Warriors general manager Bob Myers said earlier this month.

With Leonard, it’s all a bit more complex.

The NBA champion Raptors could offer him anything from $32 million for one year to $190 million for five years, and the reality is that Leonard probably wants something in between. In the summer of 2021, after Leonard completes his 10th year in the league, he goes from being able to command 30% of a salary cap to 35% of a salary cap.

That 5% is going to be a lot of

money. That’s why, for Leonard, the smarter play in terms of finances is to sign a shorter deal this summer — two years, $68 million or so, maybe with a third year at his option — and cash in for all he will have coming two years from now.

“He’s a confident human being,” Raptors President Masai Ujiri said. “He’s an unbelievable person. He is his own person. ... I think we’ve built a trust there.”

Of course, all that is the money aspect of things.

Leonard has already pocketed about $85 million in on-court earnings and the big money is re-

ally going to start rolling in now.

Durant is up to around $190 million on the court, with probably just as much off the court. They’re both set for life, so money won’t be the sole driving force in their respective decisions.

The basketball stuff still matters. No matter how much Durant and Leonard have in the bank, they cannot buy championship rings.

This is where the ambiguity starts to kick in, although there shouldn’t be much. Even with the Los Angeles Lakers about to get Anthony Davis in a trade, even with the Brooklyn Nets quite posSee NBA, page A7

Torres wins it for Yankees NEW YORK (AP) — Gleyber Torres lined a game-winning single in the ninth inning and the New York Yankees hit two more homers to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-7 Wednesday.

Didi Gregorius and DJ LeMahieu connected as the Yankees extended their major league record to 29 straight games with a home run. The AL East leaders overcame two homers and a double by Lourdes Gurriel Jr., plus an early 5-0 deficit, to finish a power-packed 9-1 homestand.

Now, they’ll head straight from Yankee Stadium to England, where they’ll enjoy two days off before playing the Boston Red Sox at London Stadium on Saturday and Sunday in the first major league games in Europe.

Zack Britton wasn’t so great in giving up Cavan Biggio’s RBI single in the ninth that made it 7-all. But Britton (3-1) wound up with the win to close out a threegame sweep.

Gregorius got an infield hit off Nick Kingham (3-2) with one out in the ninth, Aaron Hicks walked and Torres followed with his hit.

ATHLETICS 2, CARDINALS 0 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Beau Taylor and Matt Chapman homered, and Daniel Mengden pitched six scoreless innings to lead Oakland.

Mengden (2-1) gave up four hits and struck out five for his first win since May 18 at Detroit. He took the starting rotation spot of Frankie Montas, who was suspended 80 games June 21 for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.

Yusmeiro Petit pitched the seventh, Joakim Soria the eighth and Liam Hendriks got the last three outs for his second save in four chances. Hendriks has not allowed a run in 23 of his last 25 appearances.

Oakland got its fifth shutout of the season — first on the road — and first since May 7 against Cincinnati.

PHILLIES 5, METS 4, 10 INNINGS PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jay Bruce ripped an RBI double in the bottom of the 10th inning against his former team, and Philadelphia rallied to beat reeling New York.

Mets lefty Jason Vargas tied

a career high with 10 strikeouts in his first start since being fined for an expletive-filled confrontation with a reporter, but was pulled after only 77 pitches and the Phillies overcame a 4-0 deficit against New York’s leaky bullpen.

Rhys Hoskins drew a walk from Stephen Nogosek (0-1), and J.T. Realmuto singled. Roman Quinn ran for Hoskins and Bruce, traded by the Mets twice in the last two years, sent a long drive over center fielder Juan Lagares’ head to give Philadelphia its third straight win over New York after a seven-game losing streak.

INDIANS 5, ROYALS 3 CLEVELAND (AP) — Trevor Bauer struck out a season-high 12 in 6 2/3 innings, and Cleveland beat Kansas City.

Bauer (6-6) had the 23rd double-figure strikeout game of his career and his fourth this season. The right-hander gave up one run and didn’t allow a hit until rookie Humberto Arteaga singled with two outs in the fifth.

Bauer matched a career high by throwing 127 pitches and held the Royals to three hits.

Jake Bauers and Tyler Naquin homered off Jakob Junis in the fourth.

Jason Kipnis, Oscar Mercado and Jordan Luplow also drove in runs for Cleveland.

Francisco Lindor was 3 for 4 and scored two runs.

WHITE SOX 8, RED SOX 7 BOSTON (AP) — José Abreu hit a two-run homer over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park in the ninth inning as Chicago recovered after blowing the lead in the eighth.

The White Sox had leads of 3-0, 5-2 and 6-4 before the Red Sox scored three in the eighth to take a 7-6 lead and hand Chicago closer Alex Colomé (3-1) his first blown save in 17 opportunities.

Matt Barnes (3-3) gave up three straight hits in the top of the ninth — Leury García was caught stealing — including Abreu’s 19th homer of the season.

Vanderbilt takes crown Commodores crush Michigan to win collegiate baseball title

By ERIC OLSON AP Sports Writer

OMAHA, Neb. — Vanderbilt swept the Southeastern Conference regular-season and tournament titles, set the league record for wins, tied the record with 13 draft picks and lost back-to-back games just twice.

Now the Commodores are national champions.

Mason Hickman and Jake Eder combined for 14 strikeouts, Michigan ace Karl Kauffmann was knocked out in the fourth inning, and the Commodores won the College World Series with an 8-2 victory in Game 3 of the finals Wednesday night.

Vandy (59-12) won its second title in its four CWS appearances, all since 2011. The other one came in 2014.

“I felt we were going to hit well, I felt we were going to play well. I thought this was going to be a nice night for the kids,” coach Tim Corbin said.

Freshman Kumar Rocker, who was dominant in two CWS starts, was selected the Most Outstanding Player.

Hickman struck out 10 in six innings and limited

the Wolverines (50-22) to one hit after he gave up three in a row to start the game. Kauffmann, making his third start in the CWS, struggled with his control, and Vandy broke open the game with three runs in the third inning and two in the fourth.

When Ako Thomas flew out to center to end the game, the Vandy dugout and bullpen emptied and catcher Philip Clarke sprinted to the mound to embrace Eder.

During the postgame celebration, Vandy players invited Teddy and Susan Everett to join them on the stage set up behind home plate. Their son, Donny Everett, was a star freshman pitcher on the 2016 team and drowned before the start of that year’s NCAA Tournament. The seniors on this year’s team were his teammate.

“Those two mean so much to this program and all the players and the seniors,” shortstop Ethan Paul said. “To this day, every time I look at Teddy I think of Donny, and just being able to share that moment with them was something we all really wanted to do.”

The loss ended a sur-

prising postseason for Michigan, which went from being one of the last four teams picked for the 64-team NCAA Tournament to becoming the first Big Ten team to play in the finals since Ohio State in 1966. It was Michigan’s first CWS since 1984.

“They have inspired future generations of Michigan baseball players with the belief that winning a national championship is possible,” coach Erik Bakich said. “The only way you can have an Omaha program is to have an Omaha team. This is very much a tipping point for us.”

Michigan staved off elimination in the first two rounds of the national tournament after squandering leads. The Wolverines knocked off No. 1 national seed UCLA to reach the CWS. “We were hoping it would end in a better way,” first baseman Jimmy Kerr said. “We’ll look back — maybe not in a week or in a month — but down the road it will be fond memories.”

Bakich was an assistant to Corbin from 2003-09 at Vanderbilt, and the two remain close friends.

“He’s put together a remarkable year with those guys,” Corbin said.

“Where they came from ... they gave us everything we wanted and more.”

Vandy is the sixth national champion from the SEC since 2009 and 12th overall, second only to the 18 won by the Pac-12 and its previous iterations. At No. 2, Vandy became the highest national seed to win it all since Miami in 2001.

Hickman gave up three straight singles to start the game, leading to Michigan’s first run. He retired nine of the next 10, striking out six, and got out of trouble when the Wolverines loaded the bases in the fourth. He retired the last six he faced before turning the game over to Eder.

Hickman fanned nine or more in five of his final six starts and allowed one or fewer runs in nine of his last 13.

Though the Commodores brought to Omaha an offense ranked in the top five nationally in the major categories, it was pitching that carried them for most of their stay.

Vandy had eight runs on nine hits Wednesday, but its .221 average in six CWS games was the lowest for a national champion in the aluminum bat era that started in 1974.

Altidore scores in 1st start in 20 months, US tops Panama KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Jozy Altidore made an impression in first return to the United States’ starting lineup.

Altidore scored on an overhead kick in his first start for the national team in 20 months, lifting the U.S. over Panama 1-0 Wednesday night as the Americans finished first in their CONCACAF Gold Cup group.

Altidore got the goal from 2 yards following a corner kick in the 66th minute that was redirected by Matt Miazga. Coming back from a hamstring injury that

slowed him at the start of training camp, the 29-year-old Altidore scored his 42nd goal in 113 international appearances.

After the match, he walked by reporters and did not stop to respond to questions.

The defending champion United States went 3-0 in group play and outscored opponents 11-0.

The 30th-ranked Americans play No. 79 Curacao in the quarterfinals at Philadelphia on Sunday, and the winner faces Jamaica or Panama in the semifinals.

“This is a team we can’t take

lightly,” U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter said. “We’re going to go in fully prepared. They have talent.

They can score goals.”

The plus-11 goal difference was the best in the Gold Cup for the Americans, topping plus-nine in 2013. The Americans did not allow a goal in a three-match group stage for the second time, the first since 2007, and improved to 36 wins, one loss and four draws in the Gold Cup group stage.

“I talked to Jozy at halftime and asked how much more he had in him,” Berhalter explained. “He said,

‘I want to stay on the field.’ When you hear that from a player, it makes you feel great. When that player goes out and scores the winning goal, it makes you feel even better.”

Both teams already had clinched quarterfinal berths. Berhalter changed all 11 starters and Panama nine. Altidore had not started since the loss at Trinidad and Tobago on Oct. 10, 2017, that ended the Americans’ streak of seven straight World Cup appearances.

Defender Omar Gonzalez captained the U.S. for the first time.

Goalkeeper Sean Johnson made his second competitive appearance, his first since a Gold Cup match against Costa Rica in July 2013.

The U.S. had nearly two-thirds possession, and pressure increased after Christian Pulisic entered in the 65th minute.

“We had a game plan going into it,” midfielder Christian Roldan said. “We kept the shutout. We kept them to one shot and zero corners. We’re pretty happy with the effort defensively. In the end, you grind out these games and win the group.”

sibly about to land Kyrie Irving in free agency, it’s fairly clear that the Raptors and Warriors — this past season’s NBA finalists — will go into next season with the most realistic championship aspirations.

The Warriors won’t have Durant because of his Achilles injury. They will still have Stephen Curry and, probably, Klay Thompson — provided he re-signs, as is expected. They will still have Steve Kerr calling the shots. They will have deep-pocketed, free-spending owners who won’t want the team’s first season in the new Chase Center to be,

by Warriors’ standards, a step backwards after five consecutive NBA Finals appearances.

The Raptors have a chance to go back-to-back and even though the Eastern Conference is deeper now than it has been in recent years — Milwaukee won 60 games this past season, Philadelphia should be strong again, Boston and Indiana have some work to do but could find themselves right back in the mix — there’s an argument to be made that Leonard’s best path to a third title ring would lead him to stay in Toronto.

For Durant and Leonard, all the talk about New York and Brooklyn and Los Angeles should be just that — talk.

The simplest, and right, move for both is this: Run it back. Stay put. Be the dominoes that don’t fall, and let the rest of the league react to that.

Wings top Sun ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Arike Ogunbowale made a late go-ahead 3-pointer and finished with 23 points to help the Dallas Wings beat the Connecticut Sun 74-73 on Wednesday night.

Down 13 late in the third quarter, Connecticut opened the fourth on a 15-2 run to take a 66-63 lead.

Ogunbowale, a rookie who had 25 points on Saturday night in a loss in Las Vegas, banked in a long 3-pointer with 1:23 remaining for a 72-70 lead. Neither team scored again until Allisha Gray made two free throws with 5.1 seconds left to give Dallas a four-point lead. Jasmine Thomas answered with a corner 3, but Gray ran out the clock at the other end.

After Reyes hit a solo shot in the third and a two-run drive in the fifth to make it 6-3, Hosmer went deep with a runner on in the sixth and Hunter Renfroe connected leading off the seventh.

It marked the 10th time this season that Baltimore yielded at least five home runs. Bundy gave up two of them and now has allowed 19 homers in 16 starts.

Jonathan Villar and Pedro Severino homered for the Orioles, who have lost 13 of 14.

Baltimore owns the worst record in the majors (22-58) and the worst at home (9-30).

Today in History Today is Thursday, June 27, the 178th day of 2019. There are 187 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 27, 1991, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first black jurist to sit on the nation’s highest court, announced his retirement. (His departure led to the contentious nomination of Clarence Thomas to succeed him.)

On this date: In 1844, Mormon leader Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum, were killed by a mob in Carthage, Illinois.

In 1846, New York and Boston were linked by telegraph wires.

In 1880, author-lecturer Helen Keller, who lived most of her life without sight or hearing, was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama.

In 1905, the Industrial Workers of the World was founded in Chicago.

In 1944, during World War II, American forces liberated the French port of Cherbourg (SHEHR’-boorg) from the Germans.

In 1957, Hurricane Audrey slammed into coastal Louisiana and Texas as a Category 4 storm; the official death toll from the storm was placed at 390, although a variety of state, federal and local sources have estimated the number of fatalities at between 400 and 600.

In 1974, President Richard Nixon opened an official visit to the Soviet Union.

In 1984, the Supreme Court ended the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s monopoly on controlling college football telecasts, ruling such control violated antitrust law.

In 1988, at least 56 people were killed when a commuter train ran into a stationary train at the Gare de Lyon terminal in Paris. In 1988, Mike Tyson retained the undisputed heavyweight crown as he knocked out Michael Spinks 91 seconds into the first round of a championship fight in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

In 1990, NASA announced that a flaw in the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope was preventing the instrument from achieving optimum focus. (The problem was traced to a mirror that had not been ground to exact specifications; corrective optics were later installed to fix the problem.)

In 2005, the Supreme Court ruled, in a pair of 5-4 decisions, that displaying the Ten Commandments on government property was constitutionally permissible in some cases but not in others. BTK serial killer Dennis Rader pleaded guilty to ten murders that had spread fear across Wichita, Kansas, beginning in the 1970s. (Rader later received multiple life sentences.)

In 2008, North Korea destroyed the most visible symbol of its nuclear weapons program, the cooling tower at its main atomic reactor at Yongbyon. (However, North Korea announced in September 2008 that it was restoring its nuclear facilities.)

Ten years ago: Dr. Conrad Murray, the cardiologist who was with Michael Jackson during the pop star’s final moments two days earlier, sat down with investigators for the first time to explain his actions. Actress Gale Storm, 87, died in Danville, California.

Five years ago: Over Russian objections, Ukraine’s new president, Petro Poroshenko (por-oh-SHEHN’-koh), signed a free-trade agreement binding his country more closely to Western Europe. Leslie Manigat, 83, a prominent figure in the Haitian political establishment whose rule as president was cut short by a military coup in 1988, died in Portau-Prince. Bobby Womack, 70, a colorful and highly influential R&B singer-songwriter who had influenced artists from the Rolling Stones to Damon Albarn, died in Los Angeles.

One year ago: Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose vote often decided cases on abortion, gay rights and other contentious issues, announced his retirement. The Supreme Court ruled that government workers can’t be forced to contribute to labor unions that represent them in collective bargaining. Joe Jackson, the patriarch of the singing Jackson family, died in Las Vegas at the age of 89.

Today’s Birthdays: Business executive Ross Perot is 89. Former Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt is 81. Singer-musician Bruce Johnston (The Beach Boys) is 77. Fashion designer Vera Wang is 70. Actress Julia Duffy is 68. Actress Isabelle Adjani is 64. Country singer Lorrie Morgan is 60. Actor Brian Drillinger is 59. Writer-producer-director J.J. Abrams is 53. Former Sen.

By Michael Armstrong Homer News

If you’ve ever had a hankering to run away with the circus, next week will be the perfect time to do so. From June 30 to July 5 the New Old Time Chautauqua Tour visits Homer for a parade, performances, workshops and even some community service.

Billed as the “Be Mary” tour, the group of about 50 vaudevillians started its

Alaska visit on June 12 in Talkeetna, visited Seward and is now in Anchorage.

The tour honors the late Mary Langham of Talkeetna and Homer, who died at age 63 in Homer on March 18, 2018. A circus artist, poet, writer, actor and playwright, Langham also distinguished herself as a tireless volunteer in the Homer arts community — so much so that Homer Council on the Arts (HCOA) named its annual volunteer award after her.

Poems must include the writer’s name, phone number and address. They should be kept to no more than 300 words. Submission of a poem does not guarantee publication. Poems may be e-mailed to news@peninsulaclarion.com, faxed to 283-3299, delivered to the Clarion at 150 Trading Bay Road or mailed to P.O. Box 3009, Kenai, AK 99611.

Review: A vile conspiracy is taken down in novel ‘Big Sky’

By Bruce Desilva The Associated Press

Former soldier and policeman Jackson Brodie, who last appeared nine years ago in “Started Early, Took My Dog,” makes his long-anticipated return in Kate Atkinson’s new novel, “Big Sky.” Although the book is billed as the fifth installment in the Brodie series, the brooding, modern-day white knight isn’t the protagonist of this alternately depressing, inspiring and slyly funny tale. In fact, he blunders into the vile conspiracy at the centre of the story without realizing it and has little to do with taking the bad guys down.

As the story opens, Brodie is coping with his shambles of a personal life while working as a private detective on the west coast of England. His cases are mundane, and they clearly bore him.

The plot develops slowly at first as Atkinson introduces a cabal of seemingly ordinary professional men whose sideline is luring girls into the sex trade. The men’s wives and children are either unaware of where their wealth comes from or don’t care to know.

The conspiracy has deep roots. Two decades earlier, police had smashed a sex trade ring and brought its leaders to justice, but there are rumours that others, including members of the British aristocracy, may have been involved. As circumstances breathe new life into the rumours, two young female police officers, including Brodie’s old friend Reggie (introduced in 2008’s “When Will There Be Good News”), are assigned to reopen the case.

The unfolding plot snags a dozen main characters in a web of duplicity, human misery, betrayal and murder that Atkinson skillfully relates from multiple points of view — investigators, criminals, family members and victims alike. The heroes of the yarn are its women. The two young police officers, one of the conspirators’ wives, and one of its victims as well, fashion a conclusion that, although not entirely lawful, is justice nonetheless.

As always in a Kate Atkinson book , whether it’s the Brodie series or her mainstream novels, the pleasures derive from her mastery as a storyteller, her skilful character development and the beauty of her

By Bonnie Marie Playle Solstice happens twice a year.

The sun reaches the highest at noon, marking the longest day of the year; hence, the name summer.

The chill in the air, is even in June.

The lowest at noon, marks the shortest day of the year; hence, winter.

The darkness comes way to soon.

Summer and dog days, are used hand in hand.

It’s the warmest season and a person is sure to get a tan.

Dog days refers to the star Sirius, and its alignment with the Sun. All these connections can be quite mysterious.

The only thing in common is the heat; for now winter is in retreat.

This is time for all sorts of fun; school is out, BBQ’s, beach parties, campouts and of course fishing.

All wintertime, a person for this is wishing.

Thank you God, for all the warm, it’s the calm before the storm.

“They’re just a goofy, wacky vaudevilliean oldtime performance-oriented band of merry makers traveling through Alaska,” Peggy Paver, executive director of the Homer Council on the Arts, said of the tour.

HCOA, Bunnell Street Arts Center and Pier One Theatre are the cosponsors of the Homer portion of the tour, with support from the Rasmuson Foundation’s Harper Arts Touring Fund, administered by

the Alaska State Council on the Arts. The Pratt Museum also holds some events. HCOA will be the tour’s base, where they will camp in the parking lot behind the council’s building on Pioneer Avenue.

Paver said that collaboration came about when the New Old Time Chautauqua approached Homer Council on the Arts about visiting Homer. She quickly realized the tour would be more than the council could handle and reached out to Bunnell and Pier One. “It’s our first dip into what could be called a collaborative project,” Paver said. “It’s been a really interesting process and been really good for the three organizations to be at the table and talk about these hard issues.”

The Homer tour starts out with a performance by the Fighting Instruments of Karma Marching Chamber Band and Orchestra at 8 p.m. Sunday at Alice’s Champagne Palace. It continues with a parade on the Homer Spit on at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, July 2, from the Seafar-

There are two movies opening this weekend that feature iconic anthropomorphic dolls. Be very careful which one you choose.

“Toy Story 4” has the usual gang of lovable toys led by Woody and Buzz.

(Bring tissues.) Then there’s the remake of “Child’s Play,” which has Chucky, the freckle-faced homicidal doll who likes stabbing things. (Bring a strong stomach.)

The reviews for “Toy Story 4” are pretty good and you might be surprised to

find that the “Child’s Play ” reboot is actually pretty solid, too. It’s a winking, self-aware horror movie that will make you laugh even when things are drenched in blood.

The original “Child’s Play” came out in 1988 and featured the nightmare-creating concept of your dolls coming to life and harming you. It was a fairly straightahead horror flick with a dash of commentary on consumerism. But the franchise — six sequels — gradually grew camp, most recently with “Cult of Chucky” in 2017.

The reboot this summer has sidestepped Chuck’s real

dad — the writer and director Don Mancini — and freshened the concept for 2019: Chucky is no longer possessed. Now he’s a cloudconnected, self-learning AI doll with wide powers: He controls the lights, TVs, Roomba, cars and other electronic devices. Underneath the gleeful horror is a commentary on our dependence and the interconnectivity of our devices.

Director Lars Klevberg and screenwriter Tyler Burton Smith don’t pretend the killer doll trope hasn’t been done before. They fully dive into it, gently mocking the genre as they exploit it and signal to the audience all along what they’re doing.

“You’re my best friend,” says Chucky when he’s taken out of the box. To which his new owner naturally says: “It’s kind of creepy.”

This time, Chucky is created by the nefarious Kaslan Corporation, which has a range of interconnected products. A sweatshop worker in Vietnam tasked with assembling the dolls disconnects one of its security protocols in a fit of pique. It ends up in the hands of a single moth-

er (Aubrey Plaza) and her lonely son, Andy (Gabriel Bateman). Chucky tries to understand human behaviour but stumbles at subtlety. He’s imprinted to Andy and lashes out at anything that Andy dislikes, whether that’s the family cat or his mom’s new boyfriend.

The filmmakers have left little Easter eggs throughout the film, from references to “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” to “Office Space.”

They have a jokey tendency to use old-school lightning whenever they want to signal something ominous is happening. The final climactic fight scene happens in a dark basement sporting industrial spinning fans with light and smoke pouring out of them.

At one point, there’s a “Star Wars” joke that is extra funny because Mark Hamill is voicing Chucky.

There’s so much tonguein-cheek humour that even though the body count mounts — and some in the audience may be surprised that death comes to animals and beloved figures alike — there’s really no dread.

‘The Office’ to leave Netflix as streaming battles heat up

By MAE ANDERSON AP Technology Writer

NEW YORK — Netflix is losing its most popular TV show, “The Office,” in a sign of things to come as more TV and movie makers start their own streaming services and take back their offerings.

In a tweet Tuesday, Netflix said it was “sad” that NBC will no longer license “The Office” to Netflix, but added that Netflix will still have it for the next year and a half. NBCUniversal’s streaming service is due to start in 2020.

Starting in January 2021, the yet-unnamed NBC ser-

vice will be the exclusive home in the U.S. of all nine seasons of the sitcom, which follows the hapless employees of the Dunder Mifflin paper company.

Although Netflix has been emphasizing original shows and movies, previously televised shows such as “The Office” are still popular, especially as people abandon traditional pay TV providers like cable and rely on streaming for such shows. “The Office” was the most viewed show on Netflix in 2018, streamed for over 52 billion minutes, according to Nielsen. That equates to nearly 15 hours for each of

Netflix’s 58.5 million U.S. subscribers. “Friends” was No. 2 and “Greys Anatomy” was No. 3.

Producers of such shows have been happy for the extra revenue they get for licensing shows to Netflix and similar services. But those partners are morphing into competitors as content makers like NBCUniversal , Disney and WarnerMediacreate their own services to vie for Netflix’s viewers. Apple is also building its own streaming service with original shows from Oprah and Steven Spielberg.

These content companies are hoping to build vi-

able streaming businesses — though it’s not clear how much revenue they’ll get from them at first. For that reason, these companies have to weigh whether it’s worth losing revenue from the likes of Netflix in the short run.

Disney, which is launching its own service by the end of the year, has told investors that it expects a $150 million operating loss for the fiscal year ending in September because of the forgone licensing revenue. And WarnerMedia reportedly got $100 million for Netflix to license “Friends” for 2019 alone, money it will lose if

it takes the show back for its service as expected.

Owners of TV shows and movies typically license their videos to thirdparty services for a certain amount of time. Netflix’s licensing deal for “The Office” is set to expire in 2020. NBCUniversal bought the rights back to use on its own service beginning in January 2021.

NBCUniversal did not disclose financial terms, though published reports say NBCUniversal bid $100 million per year for five years to keep the show in-house, more than what Netflix and others were offering. It’s an internal bid in which the streaming business will acquire the rights from another division, the Universal studio.

Experts say the new services, except perhaps Disney’s, are not likely to draw the numbers that Netflix has spent years building, as consumers suffer streaming fatigue. Netflix has 139 million paid subscribers worldwide.

The shift will be pricey for customers, too. Those who already pay $13 a month for Netflix or $6 for Hulu for their most popular plans might be wary about shelling out for other monthly services.

Loup Ventures analyst Gene Munster said he believes there will be an increase of people experimenting, trying out a service for a month or two and then canceling.

Eventually “people may simply have three or four offerings they pay $10 a month for,” he said. “We may get there over time, but over the next one or two years people are going to be more finicky.”

Ultimately, the services that win will be the services that invest the most in original content — or buying back their own, said Brian Wieser, global president of business intelligence at GroupM. “It is just a function how much investment everyone is willing to make,” he said. “The buy in for being meaningful is $5 billion, and that’s just the buy in.” Netflix, for example, spent $12 billion on content in 2018, although that includes original and nonoriginal programming.

Netflix has said it isn’t worried about the increased competition.

CEO Reed Hastings said he welcomes the new services and doesn’t believe they will have a material effect on the company’s earnings.

“There’s a ton of competition out there, and Disney and Apple add a little bit more,” Hastings said during a recent call to discuss the company’s financial reports. “But frankly, I doubt it will be material, because again, there’s already so many competitors for entertainment time, which is great for consumers and it’s exciting for us.”

Desus & Mero shake up the late-night talk show universe

By Gary Gerard Hamilton The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Daniel Baker and Joel Martinez may be hosts of a late-night TV talk show that attracts A-list celebrities but they don’t feel like they’re competing with the likes of Jimmy Fallon or Stephen Colbert.

The comedians, who go by Desus Nice & The Kid Mero, got their break in podcasts and they fill their Showtime slot with conversation, jokes, viral clips, celebrity slip-ups and offbeat local news stories. They call it “a hodgepodge of the full day’s topics.” It’s spontaneous and less gimmicky than their higher-profile rivals.

“Other guys—shout out to them—but they have a formula,” said Mero, the stage name of Martinez.

“That’s not what we wanted to do. We wanted to come and do something totally different. And even the term ‘late-night show’—it applies to our show because it comes on late at night, but it’s not your typical late-night show.”

Fans will get a chance to see them up close in person

er’s Memorial to Pier One Theatre. At Pier One there will be a community potluck with free workshops and then at 7:30 p.m. a show honoring Langham, with readings of her plays and poetry. That reading will happen on the set of Pier One’s production of “Much Ado About Nothing.”

“We’ll be reading amongst the trees and roofs of Messina Mary’s work,” said Jen Norton, Pier One artistic director.

. . . Events

this summer when they hit the road, visiting cities like Houston, Los Angeles, Miami and more. Tickets are currently on sale .

“The show is a live version of the podcast,” said Desus. “At the beginning of the day, it started with our podcast and at the end of the day, it’s going to be our podcast.”

They’re doing what they want on their own terms, the same traits that caught the eyes of Complex Media, which noticed their hysterical Twitter interaction and paired them up for a podcast that quickly turned to video.

That led to their popular show on Viceland, and now Baker and Martinez host “Desus & Mero on Showtime ,” the premium network’s first late-night show.

“We’re not a bunch of pundits breaking stuff down. We’re just like, ‘This is weird. This is weird.

This is not how America works. But wow! What’s going on?”’ said Desus, the stage name of Baker.

Part of the charm of Desus & Mero is that they don’t hide their New Yorkness. Most on-air talent

eliminates clothing, accents or vernacular that could alienate different parts of the country. But Desus and Mero not only embrace it, but turn the dial up.

“When the revolution comes, we going to kill all the rich people and eat them,” Desus joked to an audience recently. “We’re not rich, though. We from the Bronx. Being rich in the Bronx is like, what, 40 thou?”

Although they might be newcomers to late-night, they haven’t shied from the action. While they shoot the breeze with everyone from actors to directors to recording artists, they’ve hit a sweet spot with politics.

They’ve toasted Kirsten Gillibrand at a bar, drank malt liquor in the park from bottles wrapped in brown paper bags with Pete Buttigieg and visited fellow Bronx resident Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her Washington, D.C. office—she was their first Showtime guest. (To remind her of the Bronx, they presented her with a Puerto Rican flag, a Fat Joe VHS tape and a Cardi B

Fathead.)

“It’s like the opposite of what everybody else is trying to do. Not that it’s a goal that we set and said we’re going to be different just for the sake of being different, but it’s just that we’re different,” said Mero. “We’re not going to ask the same questions that the suit-and-tie guy on Fox News or MSNBC are going to ask.”

Also known as The Bodega Boys, the New York duo were influenced by the “looseness” of “The Arsenio Hall Show” in the ’90s, the music segments of Dave Chappelle’s “Chappelle’s Show” and elements of “The Eric Andre Show.”

“We definitely stand out, not only because we look different,” Desus remarked, referring to their place as the only people of colour currently hosting a latenight show. “We might be a little grittier, a little edgier than the other shows, but they’re not really our competition.”

What also makes their show unique is its writers room, which features Ziwe Fumudoh and Heben Nigatu—two black women.

“Getting people that get

you and come from your world is super-important, especially for us, just coming up and being now on the platform that we are now,” said Mero.

“You have women of colour in the writer’s room because that’s a viewpoint that might not be represented at all in late-night,” continued Desus.

“So you get the full 360-view on things that wouldn’t even be on your radar. They’ll bring it to us like, ‘Did you see this?’

And I’m like, ‘Oh wow, this would never make it to my Twitter feed.’ But then we could put it on the show and everyone is like, ‘Oh wow, I didn’t even know about this.”’

The tour ends with the band marching in Homer’s Fourth of July parade and a performance at 8 p.m. at the SPARC with the Flying Karamazov Brothers, Fiona Rose, hula hooper Vanessa Vortex, sister act Phina and Sophia Pipia, and the Fighting Instruments of Karma.

Part of the tour’s mission is to do community service. In Homer, they’ll put a new coat of red paint on Pier One, clean out HCOA’s basement and spiff up Pioneer Avenue.

The New Old Time Chautauqua has its roots in the Chautauqua cul-

tural and social movement that started in the 1870s and continued into the 1920s. Touring Chautauquas presented lectures, dance, music, drama and other forms of cultural enrichment throughout the United States. The tradition faded during the Great Depression and with the advent of radio and motion pictures as mainstream entertainment. In 1981, the Flying Karamzov Brothers, Patch Adams and Faith Petric founded the new incarnation. The New Old Time Chautauqua has visited prisons, rural com-

munities, schools, Native American reservations and hospitals.

One of the vaudevillians in the tour, Fiona Rose Worchester, actually did run away to join the New Old Time Chautauqua, sneaking in as what’s called a “stowaway” seven years ago. Worchester, who performs under the stage name of Fiona Rose, had met Morgan Langham, one of Mary’s children, at a summer fine arts camp in Fairbanks.

Worchester joined the tour on a visit in 2011 that included Homer.

“I followed the Chau-

tauqua without applying or anything,” Worchester said. “I was a persistent 24-year-old who was completely enamored.”

Now an 8th grade teacher in Anchorage, Worchester is the 2019 tour organizer. In the tour she learned to juggle and play the ukulele. Her current shtick is singing and playing desk bells with her feet.

“What this group has done for me has instilled the belief I can do anything, however impossible it may be,” Worchester said.

That’s also what the

tour hopes to do for the towns it visits, she said.

“The idea is to inspire people through our performance,” Worchester said. “… To inspire people to believe in magic and ourselves and the power of the community.”

your-seat stuff. And it could have had more glee messing with our love of digital convenience. But it takes care of fans of the franchise.

The doll comes up with the name Chucky for itself, even though plenty of other options are available. It’s owning its past.

Plaza, known for her comedic chops on “Parks and Recreation,” shows off a winning dramatic side, while

Bateman proves to be an actor to watch, able to play alienated teen, surrogate brother, aghast victim and vengeful son. Brian Tyree Henry once again makes the most of his small role as a kindly cop. And Hamill goes to his creepiest place to say things like “Are we having fun now?”

Surprisingly, we are having fun. While most of the oxygen will be taken up this

weekend with “Toy Story 4,” credit goes to “Child’s Play” for turning in a solid valentine to the darker side of what “Toy Story” also does — including movie posters that drag the bigger franchise.

“Child’s Play,” an Orion Pictures release, is rated R for “bloody horror violence and language throughout.”

Running time: 88 minutes.

Daughter betrayed by mother struggles with reconnection ing a decision about something this important. I’m not a therapist, but I think it would be healthier for you to keep your distance from someone who prefers living in denial rather than facing reality.

At the very least, Abigail Van Buren YOU are owed an apology for the way you were treated by “the family.” You did nothing wrong.

The person who should feel guilty is your mother. Blowing the whistle on the child molester she married was the right thing to do. (“Handle it within the family”?!) I can only wonder how many other young family members your stepfather may have abused in addition to you.

DEAR ABBY: My three sons are all engaged and plan on being married over the next three years. Their mother and I are separated and will be splitting the cost of the rehearsal dinner.

Hints from Heloise

Rubes

By Leigh Rubin

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH One-on-one relating highlights a misunderstanding and challenges you to find a resolution. First, try to identify with the other party. To find a meeting point, understand where this person is coming from. Tonight: As you like.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Others remain dominant and seem to enjoy their positions -- for now.

A one-on-one discussion draws powerful results that take you down a new path.

Understand what another person wants.

You might be able to say yes far more easily. Tonight: Dinner for two.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Others keep appearing at your door, on your cell and in your emails.

Clearly, these people seek you out for various and sundry reasons. If you feel that someone is making up a reason to chat or visit, you’re probably right. He or she cares a lot about you. Be flattered.

Tonight: Sort through possibilities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You have your share of work and need to focus on one item at a time.

The unexpected tosses your schedule into chaos. Respond to this change with goodwill. Recognize that you can only do so much. Tonight: Clear your desk. Off to the gym.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Stay centered. You could feel disappointed that a child or loved one seems to cause more trouble than you’d like. Tap into your ingenuity because this interaction easily can be changed and put on another level. Tonight: Time to kick up your heels.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Basics count, but you tend to bypass them and get more ethereal. You could often find yourself in chaos, not knowing which way to turn at the moment. Use more self-discipline when approaching an emotional matter. Tonight: Order in.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH At present, your words count.

How you express your thoughts could make all the difference in how the message is received. Return calls and emails.

You might be surprised at what could occur. Tonight: Hang out.

The correct handling of chicken Dear Readers: There’s a new warning from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov) regarding WASHING CHICKEN and food safety.

Washing or rinsing chicken before preparing it is NOT recommended; in fact, water splashing off raw chicken can spread harmful bacteria and cross-contaminate sponges, towels, silverware and dishes.

Any bacteria on the raw chicken will be destroyed by properly preparing the chicken.

Cook the chicken to at least 170 F. Wipe up any spills, and wash your hands with hot, soapy water. Use a dedicated cutting board for meats, and place only raw meat on it -never cooked.

At the grocery store, wrap raw chicken in an individual bag, alone. After prepping and cooking chicken, wipe down the entire kitchen.

-- Heloise CREME VS. CREAM Dear Heloise: What is creme fraiche, and how does it differ from sour cream?

-- Judy L., via email Judy, let’s take a look. Creme fraiche is a lot like sour cream, but it’s thinner, less sour and has a higher fat and calorie content than sour cream.

One serving of creme fraiche (2 tablespoons) has 110 calories and 100 fat grams.

One serving of sour cream (2 tablespoons) has 60 calories and 45 fat grams.

Also, creme fraiche can be more than twice as expensive as sour cream! Experiment and try both to find your favorite cream garnish.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 27, 2019: This year, you deal with many unexpected events. For example, a new person could land in your life and totally change your direction, or you could get what you want out of the blue. If you’re single, relating to a new person could be challenging but worthwhile, especially if this person opens new doors for you.

If you’re attached, you and your partner have a sound friendship as well as a loving bond. As a couple, you go for a longdesired, mutual goal. TAURUS can be stubborn. You cannot change their opinions.

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 Use the early hours for yourself or a key project. You’ll accomplish far more than you thought possible in a short period of time. Question an investment or a situation involving your funds. A little care goes a long way. Tonight: Make weekend plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might be slow to start, but by midday, you breeze through your to-do list. Understand that others cannot always fit into your time slot. If you need to, flow with another person’s schedule. Weigh what’s happening behind the scenes. Tonight: Don’t hesitate to do what you want; let others follow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Take your time making a decision.

You still might not have all the needed information. You’ll gain unexpected insight by dealing with this issue. Use what you learn to empower yourself. Tonight: Keep spending under control.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your point of view later in the day will be different than your waking perspective. Consider and emphasize how much support you have to make a significant change. Weigh the pros and cons of continuing as you have. Tonight: A friend wants to visit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Actions taken early in the day demonstrate your savvy and knowledge.

You could feel good about the results. If you act later, you could discover that a boss or another authority figure might be interfering and difficult. Tonight: Don’t go overboard.

I told the first one to be engaged that while I will pay for the rehearsal DINNER, I will not pay for a bartender or alcoholic drinks. I have been in emergency services for more than 35 years and have seen firsthand the effects of alcohol too many times.

I no longer drink socially because of it. Although I explained this to my sons as they grew up, they have chosen to drink socially as adults. It is their choice, and I accept it.

The fiancee of my second son to be married has sent us a price quote from a venue that includes costs for a bartender. (The total is more than twice that of the first son’s.) I plan to discuss this with him, but I’d like your opinion: Am I wrong to make this stipulation given the fact that this is “their” event?

-- TEETOTALER IN THE SOUTH DEAR TEETOTALER: You are not wrong. You made that stipulation to Son No. 1, and in fairness, you should do the same with Son No. 2. While it will be his and his fiancee’s event, and you are generously paying for the dinner. You are under no obligation to pay for their booze.

DEAR ABBY: I have an extensive history of childhood trauma. I was sexually abused by my stepfather for 15 years.

When I turned him in, my family turned their backs on me. I was told it could have been handled within the family, and they blamed me for acting “sexy.” My stepfather spent 10 years in prison and died a few years later.

I suffer from chronic mental health issues including PTSD, anxiety and suicide ideation, which have landed me in the hospital 10 times in the last two years. My mother wants to have a relationship with me, but she refuses to apologize or acknowledge the abuse even happened.

In some ways, the betrayal by my mother has hurt me more than the abuse.

I feel guilty for not trying to work on a relationship with her, but on the other hand, I don’t feel my heart can handle any more rejection from her. We live states apart.

What should I do?

Fish and Game timid about king fishing baited, single-hook artificial lure with only one point. Anglers may harvest one wild or hatchery king salmon per day and in possession from the mouth of the Kasilof River to the Sterling Highway Bridge.

“It’s important to our staff and anglers that we continue our efforts to protect and rebuild our wild king salmon stocks,” Lipka said in a release. “ADF&G does anticipate an increase in angler effort on the Kasilof River due to late-run king salmon restrictions on the Kenai River.”

King Salmon The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is looking toward the future of Kenai River king salmon fishing and prohibiting the use of bait on the laterun king salmon fishery starting July 1.

“In order to achieve the Kenai River late-run king salmon escapement goal, we are starting the July fishery off without bait,” stated Area Management Biologist Colton Lipka in a release. “Based upon the preseason forecast and recent king salmon performance around

Cook Inlet, restrictions are warranted in order to meet the escapement goal and still provide fishing opportunity for Kenai River late-run king salmon.”

Bait will be prohibited from the mouth of the Kenai River to the Fish and Game marker about 300 yards downstream from the mouth of Slikok Creek. Harvest of king salmon is still allowed in this area, but, until July 31, retention is not allowed from the Slikok Creek marker upstream to the outlet of Skilak Lake.

The Kasilof River will also see restrictions starting July 1.

Fish and Game is prohibiting bait and multiple hooks in the Kasilof River drainage through July 31, allowing just one un-

Sockeye Salmon In comparison to the king salmon fishing, the sockeye salmon run continues to be excellent.

The Upper Kenai, Russian River and Russian River sanctuary area are all open to sockeye salmon with liberated bag limits.

The Russian River and Upper Kenai River limits will stay at nine fish per day, 18 in possession until July 7.

Sockeye fishing on the Lower Kenai River continues to be good, with anglers putting in a few hours to catch their limits.

Anglers snagging in the saltwaters near Resurrection Bay are still seeing great success but the fishing is slowing down.

There has been better luck near the saltwaters of Spring Creek instead of on the flats of the bay.

The bag limits in the waters near Seward were increased to 12 fish and anglers are catching those limits with snagging gear after a few hours of fishing.

Dipnetting The Kasilof River dipnet fishery opened June 25 for Alaska residents. A 2019 sport fishing license and Cook Inlet Personal Use permit are required to participate.

The Kenai River personal use salmon will open on July 10 and ends July 31.

Halibut Halibut fishing out of Resurrection Bay continues to be good. With an onslaught of good weather and calm seas, boats have been able to get out farther and bring in bigger fish.

The Seward Halibut Tournament ends June 30. Currently, the leading fish weighs in at over 250 pounds, but large fish are being caught daily. For rules and standings, visit halibut.seward. com.

Lakes Lake fishing across the peninsula has been good. Sport Lake is producing nice-sized rainbow trout and has recently been stocked with 2,000 catchable rainbows.

Not even dinosaur-killing virus can stop Nick from writing his report This column may be a bit shorter than usual because I’m sitting here at the computer with the Grim Reaper drooling over my right shoulder and if I sense even the slightest movement in one of his gnarly digits, I’m so out of here that my ‘Tufs won’t touch terra-firma ‘til the summit of Augustine Volcano.

Quick explanation: My wife recently returned from a short vacation in Ohio and during the trip back, some diseased troglodyte managed to pass a virus to her that was of the same virulent ilk that undoubtedly wiped the dinosaurs off the earth. Three days after her arrival, my temperature shot up to a point where spoons bent when I opened my mouth to swallow cough medicine. As of today, my only means of communication is the written word unless I run across someone who speaks fluent duck.

Needless to say, my scouting expeditions have been limited and I haven’t been able to fish my old haunts for fear decimating surrounding wildlife and sending my fishing buds crawling toward the nearest emergency rooms but, thanks to the Alaska Fish and Game, we were still able to garner some very useful information.

So, now it’s time to take a look at fishing report for the week of June 25 - July 1.

Freshwater Fishing The Ninilchik River is still open to sport fishing for hatchery king salmon. Both hatchery and wild fish are present in worthy numbers; however, fish-

ing gear and bag and possession limits are in effect through July 15. Make sure to check for the absence of the adipose fin before removing any fish from the water. The bag and possession limit is one hatchery blackmouth 20 inches or greater in length from the Ninilchik River. Try fishing with a variety of gear such as spinners, spoons and flies to flush out a serious strike.

Saltwater Fishing Salmon The king run at the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon is starting to put on the brakes. Eggs, herring and mackerel are still getting their attention. Tossing and retrieving bright spinners just below the surface will rile them up too. Early morning hours are producing more fish along with the tide change-out waters.

Chinook trolling improved over the last week but was still slow. Most fish have been caught in the Bluff Point area. Trolling in 30-90ft of water remains the best way to track those beasts down in the K-Bay. Kachemak Bay opened to snagging on June 24; however, the Nick Dudiak Fishing Lagoon Area is closed to snagging.

Anglers will be targeting kings in the Halibut Cove Lagoon and sockeye in China Poot Bay and Tutka Lagoon.

Halibut Halibut fishing has been consistent in offshore locations in Cook Inlet and outer Kachemak Bay. Some anglers are still catching meaty slabs in the shallow waters north of the Bluff Point area.

Oh great! Our little friends are back.

Reports of spiny dogfish bycatch have increased. Dogfish are very long lived (up to 80 years), and do not reach maturity until about 30 years old. Remember to use care when releasing these unique sharks.

Good news. The smaller tidal exchanges this week should provide more fishing time and less ponderous weights to hold the bottom with while on the hook.

A chunk of herring on a circle hook is the standard approach, but try using lead head jigs with grub tails tipped with bait only a halibut could stomach.

Other China Poot personal use dipnet fishery opens July 1 for Alaska residents. No permit is required, but a resident sport fishing license is. Remember to remove both tips of the tail fin before you leave the waters open to personal use fishing. Good luck.

Ugly fish season has arrived.

Lingcod hunting opens July 1. Most successful anglers target them on the outer North Gulf Coast along rock pinnacles. Try white body jigs with white grub tails tipped with a piece of bait.

They are even less choosy than the flats but just as greedy.

Emergency Orders Please review the Emergency Orders and News Releases below in their entirety before heading out on your next fishing trip.

Emergency Order 2-RCL7-01-19 and 2-RCL-7-02-19 closed all eastside Cook Inlet beaches to clamming for all species from the mouth of the Kenai River to the southernmost tip of the Homer Spit for 2019.

Emergency Order 2-KS-711-19 limited the fishing season on the Anchor River and it is currently closed through July 15, 2019.

Emergency Order 2-KS-712-19 restricted fishing gear to only one unbaited, single-hook, artificial lure in the Anchor River, Deep Creek, and Ninilchik River through July 15, 2019.

Emergency Order 2-KS-713-19 reduced the chinook bag and possession limits in the Ninilchik River to one hatchery king salmon 20 inches or greater in length through July 15, 2019 Emergency Order 2-KS-7-1419 combined the annual limit for king salmon to two king salmon 20 inches or greater in length from the Anchor River, Deep Creek, Ninilchik, and all marine waters south of the latitude of the mouth of the Ninilchik River to the latitude of Bluff Point through July 15, 2019.

For additional information, please contact the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Homer office at 907-235-8191.

Next week, if I cool down enough, I may share some email expressing disdain for our famous Fish Lagoon and those anglers who deign to frequent it.

They seem think that those having fun legally fishing out there are less than true sportsman.

I showed Turk some of those missives and he felt sorry for senders. He said it was going take some serious surgery to extricate their heads from where they’re lodged, but he’d be willing to give a shot with a boat chain and his four-wheeler. Stay tuned.
