Swan Lake Fire grows to more than 60,000 acres

In the news Authorities: Fairbanks residents should prepare to evacuate FAIRBANKS — Fairbanks emergency officials are warning some residents to be prepared to flee as a wildfire burns nearby.

The Daily NewsMiner reports that the Fairbanks North Star Borough Department of Emergency Service says residents of a neighborhood in northwest Fairbanks have been advised that they need to be ready to evacuate, but no evacuation notices have been issued as of Saturday night.

Emergency officials say residents should assemble a kit of important items to take in the event of an evacuation.

Wildfire smoke is degrading air quality throughout the region.

Troopers: 3 dead, 1 critically injured in plane crash MOOSE PASS — Three people died and a fourth was severely injured in a plane crash in Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, authorities said.

The small plane crashed Friday into a mountain on the north side of Tern Lake near Moose Pass, Alaska State Troopers spokesman Tim DeSpain told the Anchorage Daily News.

Three people were killed in the crash, but one person was airlifted to Providence hospital in critical condition.

The Daily News reported that family members said the survivor, 28-year-old Joy Cooper of Paris, Texas, was on vacation in Alaska with friends when the plane crashed. Cooper suffered multiple broken bones and a partially collapsed lung, but was responsive in the hospital Saturday, her family told the newspaper.

A team was expected to be airlifted to the crash scene Saturday to recover the bodies.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.

Sidewalk entrepreneurs set up shop

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

In the heat of the summer, even Alaskans need a way to cool off. On Saturday, as temperatures reached nearly 80 degrees, dozens of resourceful kids from around

the peninsula parked their roadside stands all over Soldotna for Lemonade Day and offered fresh-squeezed lemonade and homemade snacks to thirsty residents and tourists.

Organized annually by the Kenai and Soldotna Cham-

bers of Commerce. Lemonade Day is aims to give young entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of running a small business — from idea to execution, Sara Hondel, tourism and education director for the Soldotna Chamber of Com-

merce, said.

The Swan Lake Fire grew to more than 60,000 acres over the weekend, with the blaze at 62,840 acres as of a Saturday morning update by the Alaska Incident Management Team.

Firefighters spent Friday reinforcing fire lines along the Sterling Highway and East Fork Moose River, according to the update. There are currently 489 personnel managing the fire from various local, state, and federal agencies.

On Friday, a hotshot crew was repositioned to protect infrastructure to the northeast of the fire, including a public use cabin, the Moose Research Center and a portion of the ENSTAR gas pipeline. The fire continues to spread primarily to the northeast through thick strands of black spruce. Two-way traffic along the Sterling Highway has resumed, but motorists should expect a reduced speed limit as firefighters are working along the road.

Smoke conditions on the peninsula are expected to remain the same as a highpressure weather system moves over the area.

Reaching new heights Seward’s Moore celebrates 50 years of running Mt. Marathon

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Seward stalwart Fred Moore may not reside in the public eye of the Alaska mountain running scene as those that have blazed to new records up and down the famed Mount Marathon trail, and he’s never been as fast as those names either.

But one thing he holds over them — over everyone, in fact — is how many times he’s returned to conquer the famous peak standing guard over the fishing town at the head of Resurrection Bay. The 79-year-old Moore will attempt to complete his 50th Mount Marathon race Thursday in Seward, extending the all-time race record that he owns for consecutive races, which stretches back to his rookie year in 1970.

“I never did run as racing, until Mount Marathon,” Moore said of his early days. “And then it was even a couple of years before I started running. I

Dunleavy vetoes more than $400M

By Ben Hohenstatt Juneau Empire

Gov. Mike Dunleavy unveiled more than $400 million in cuts to the Legislature-approved budget in the form of line-item vetoes, and said more are on the way.

Dunleavy and Office of Management and Budget Director Donna Arduin discussed the 182 items vetoed by the governor during a press conference Friday

at the Capitol that doubled as an announcement of the budget’s signing.

Dunleavy said reductions in spending on the University of Alaska, Medicaid, senior benefits, school bond debt reimbursement, public broadcasting, village public safety office program, the Ocean Ranger program and more are the first half of an envisioned two-year process.

“This is a difficult situa-

tion, but I believe everyone realizes something has to be done,” Dunleavy said.

The $409 million in vetoes coupled with about $270 million in cuts previously approved in the Legislature’s budget adds up to almost $680 million less in spending than last year, according to the Office of Management and Budget.

The biggest chunk of the $409 million came from the University of Alaska at See VETO, page A2

first competitive race up the mountain in 1915. The

legend goes that the competition sprouted up as a bar bet between two old sourdoughs, who wagered that the 3,022-foot peak could not be climbed and descended in less than one hour, with the loser buying the house a round of drinks.

Ultimately, it was James Walters who made it to the finish line first, albeit two minutes over an hour, but the seeds were planted for what has become a globally sought-after event.

In his 50 years running, Moore has always finished the race to the applause of locals and visitors alike.

Fellow Seward runner Erik Johnson, who at age 42 has a pedestrian eight Mount Marathon’s under his belt but a high finish of second place in 2017, said the the culture and the people who understand the history of the event know what Moore is doing belongs up there among the iconic records of the race.

Feds allocate $10M to combat violence in rural communities

By MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr declared a law enforcement emergency in Alaska on Friday, clearing the way for the Justice Department to award more than $10 million to combat crime in rural communities.

The announcement comes a month after Barr visited the state and met

with Alaska Natives, who described disproportionately high rates of violence and sexual assault in Native communities and other problems, including not having any law enforcement presence in some villages.

It is the first time that Barr has personally declared a law enforcement emergency since he assumed the top post at the Justice Department in February. The See FEDS, page A3

$130.3 million.

“This budget is going to impact all Alaskans,” Dunleavy said. “The University of Alaska, I have a lot of faith in. I know their leadership. I know a lot of their regents. I believe they’ll be able to work through this. … I don’t think they can be all things to all people, and I think that’s generally speaking for the state of Alaska.

We can’t be all things to all people, we don’t have money for that.”

University of Alaska President Jim Johnsen said during a press conference the university does not try to be all things to all people.

“There are many degree plans that we don’t provide,” Johnsen said. “There

inspire them,” Johnson said in a recent interview. “They don’t want it to be just about (men’s record holder) David Norris and (Seward’s) Denali Strabel. They want it to be about people that show they’re special by either organizing events or doing events, or doing races 50 times.”

Longtime Seward resident Patti Foldager, a twotime women’s champion who trained often with Moore back in their heyday, said Moore’s longevity is setting the standard for the crowd that’s been competing for many years. According to the Mount Marathon website, only nine men and three women have complete 30 or more runnings of the race, and of that group only two have 40 more on their belt — Moore and Palmer runner Braun Kopsack.

Foldager has 36 races under her belt, going back to her rookie attempt in 1980,

are programs that are only available at one of our universities.”

University of Alaska Southeast and other community campuses were not directly included in the governor’s veto, but Jim Johnsen said a “devastating” 41% cut to state funding would have serious negative effects on the entirety of the university system.

Johnsen said the governor’s veto would likely translate to 1,300 fewer university employees.

“Everything is on the table,” he said. “Forty-one percent of our state funding was vetoed today, campuses, academic programs.

It must be on the table.”

A hiring freeze, traveling freeze and 60-day notice of furlough would be effective immediately, Johnsen said.

Legislative override?

He said the university

would be working with state lawmakers to push for an override of the veto. An override would need support from three-fourths of the Legislature in a joint session to revert the budget back to the Legislature-approved budget.

Senate Minority Leader Sen. Tom Begich, D-Anchorage, said he “would certainly hope” there’s mass support for overriding the governor’s vetoes in light of the support the Legislatureapproved budget received.

“Only 15 members of the Legislature opposed this budget,” Begich said.

He said he would advise an override of all the vetoes rather than picking and choosing issues to override, but he wasn’t sure what if any tactic might be used.

If the veto is upheld, Johnsen said University of Alaska may need to declare

financial exigency at the July 15 Board of Regents meeting. He said that would allow the university to make quick financial decisions.

“It’s very rarely used by public universities, but given a number this big and a need to capture those savings as quickly as we need to there probably isn’t other options,” Johnsen said.

Other big changes While University of Alaska saw the biggest cut, it wasn’t alone.

Other vetoes included a 50% reduction to school bond debt reimbursement totalling $48.9 million, the elimination of the senior benefits program for a $20.8 million reduction, a $50 million cut to Medicaid and repealing the Ocean Ranger program for a reduction of $3.4 million among others.

Multiple questions

during the press asked Dunleavy about cutting all funding to the Ocean Ranger program in light of Princess Cruises, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, agreeing to pay $20 million for illegal dumping and environmental regulations.

The governor’s response alluded to other ways to actively protect the environment but did not pinpoint a specific replacement for the oversight the program provided.

Dunleavy acknowledged cutting school bond debt reimbursement in half is going to pose a challenge to cities, but said he wasn’t sure if municipalities will need to raise local taxes to make up the difference.

“That depends upon the community,” Dunleavy said. “That depends on their reserves or how

they handle their finances.

There’s no easy way out of this.”

City and Borough of Juneau City Manager Rorie Watt said there’s no doubt what the veto means for the CBJ, which this year would have to spend about $3.7 million on school bond debt.

“If the governor’s vetoes stand, CBJ will sooner or later be forced to raise taxes and/or reduce our local services,” Watt said in a release. “We are additionally disappointed that the timing of the state’s process forced municipalities to deliberate and set local tax rates for this fiscal year before the state finalizes its budgetary decisions. CBJ will await the legislature’s deliberations and learn whether or not there will be overrides prior to making a local plan to respond to the state budget.”

and husband Flip Foldager has 39 races.

“I think there’s going to be a group of guys that reach that point,” Foldager said. “There’s not many too far behind.”

In discussing his longevity that has kept him coming back year after year, Moore pulled a line from legendary New York Yankees Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, who was full of memorable quotes.

“If you don’t know where you’re going, you might end up somewhere else.”

Moore said Berra’s quote perfectly represents his journey to Seward as a young man and the lifetime he’s spent in the small town tucked away in the mountains.

“If you stop and think about it, who really does know where they’re going?”

Moore asked. “You know where you’d like to go, but you do not know where you going, and there’s a pretty good chance you will end up somewhere else.”

Now retired, Moore spends much of his time writing — the story of his

journey to Alaska can be found in “Seward Unleashed: Vol I and II” at the Seward Senior Center — and hunting. Working as a carpenter much of his life, Moore’s work skills helped lead him to the 49th state.

Moore joined a group of acquaintances heading up the Alcan Highway in June 1959 from his hometown of Jamestown, Pennsylvania.

The quartet agreed to split gas and driving duties as they sought adventure and the potential for work in sawmills.

When no employment was found, the four turned back and headed home, but Moore abandoned the group in Edmonton, Alberta, after quarreling with the lead driver. The 19-yearold Moore hitchhiked with various rides to get back to Seward, where he picked up a position at the Bayview Sawmill. The Bayview eventually burned to the ground and Moore bounced between jobs in Seward, Whittier and Wasilla for several years, mostly working summers with the Alaska Forest Service and winters at the Hardwood Mill in Wasilla.

Eventually, Moore’s passion for seafaring and fishing led him to construct several boats and skiffs, including a 30-foot trimaran that he finished in 1970, leading him to quit the sawmill and set eyes on Mount Marathon.

“I had time on my hands, and I always liked getting out into the mountains,” he said. “I started climbing the mountain, thinking about the race, not sure if I was going to do it.

“On the fourth of July, it was good weather, I was feeling good, so I paid my dollar deposit on a bib to run the race, and I did it.”

Unlike the $65 entry fee required of all runners today, Moore said racers then got their dollar back when they turned in their cloth bib. Some runners in modern times will pay thousands of dollars to run the race. Every year, the night before the race, aspiring racers who have not gained entry into the event through the lottery have shown up in the Seward High gym to try their luck in the bib auction, which hocks 10 race bibs to those willing to lay down the cash.

Some years have seen

men’s race bibs go for as much as $4,500.

Moore isn’t shocked to see the high price some are willing to pay. Instead, he says it’s just the natural progression of an event that has skyrocketed in popularity over the years, from an event only attempted by “crazy people,” to now a bucket-list item for passionate runners.

Moore’s finished his first handful of races in over an hour, but eventually began training more seriously and lowered his time to 53:23 in 1976, which stands as his all-time personal best.

Throughout his time, Moore has held age group records in four separate divisions — the 40-49, the 5059, the 60-69 and the 70-79 age groups, the last of which he currently holds. The first three age divisions have since been topped by others.

Moore, however, isn’t the oldest racer in history.

That honor belongs to Anchorage’s Chad Resari, who will be 83 on race day this year. Resari’s first year running the event was 1964, but he has skipped years in between, helping to give Moore the longevity award.

Currently 83, Resari should this year break the age record, which was formerly held by Anchorage’s Corky Corthell, and should continue giving Moore a carrot to chase after.

Moore said he recalls the feat of consecutive races gaining attention in the 1990s, when he approached what many believed then to be 26 in a row by Ed Schuster, who began his streak in 1969.

Moore’s credits his best career finish of ninth, the only top-10 of his career, in 1987 to who was not racing that year.

“There was a lot of people in an ordinary year would’ve beat me,” he said.

“But they weren’t in the race that year … I know (former champions) Sam Young and Bill Spencer were up on the top officiating, so there’s two.”

Another factor that helped Moore grab a top-10 spot was his local knowledge of the mountain, which has taken a particularly brutal beating from a nasty storm in fall of 1986, leading to flooding on the trail that reshaped the landscape.

“We knew the mountain, and others expected it to be

different,” Moore said.

To add further legend to the story, Moore said he ran that year with a hernia, which he got taken care of later that fall.

Back in his faster days, Moore said he trained most often with two women who know the mountain well — Patti Foldager and Carmen Young. Foldager is a twotime women’s champion and Young is a four-time champ who ran the fifthfastest time (currently) in women’s history in 1986 with a sizzling time of 50:54 — a time that still stands as the 30-39 age group record.

Moore said sharing information and tips with the two ladies never dominated the conversation, but pushing each other on during training runs made for a lifelong friendship.

“We all had our own way of doing things,” Moore said. “We’d just do the whole course together.”

Foldager said with the trio of training partners all finishing in about the same times, it provided good opportunity to test out the various routes on the mountain to see which one was fastest.

“He was a good teacher,” Foldager said. “I’m pretty bullheaded, I like to do things my way, and I think Fred was challenged by that.

He would always tell me, ‘You’re never going to win the race on your toes’.

“When I’d start getting weak, he’d move ahead and I would think, ‘Oh, I gotta stay with Fred’.”

Foldager won the women’s race in 1985 — the first year the women ran separate from the men — and 1993, while Young racked women’s victories in 1982 and 1986 through ’88. Foldager couldn’t remember her first meeting with Moore, but said he has simply been a part of Seward’s culture seemingly forever.

“He’s just always been there,” Foldager said. “Living in Seward, almost everyone associated Fred with the mountain because he always did it.”

With 50 years of running the mountain, Moore has also seen a lot, including some of the race’s biggest moments. Moore said while the iconic marks that have stuck in everyone’s memory (like Bill Spencer’s 1981 record that stood for 32 years) are impressive, some of the most stirring performances

have come in the junior division, which races halfway up the mountain and back. Bill Spencer’s 1973 junior race record of 24:30 has never been seriously threatened in 46 years since he set it. In the junior girls history, 2014 stands out as the most shocking performance, when Kenai runner Allie Ostrander’s defeated the entire field, including the boys.

Another tradition that Moore has carried throughout the years is running with hot pink shorts.

Moore said the use of his iconic pink shorts began with his wife’s suggestion when Moore ran the 1983 Equinox Marathon in Fairbanks. Phyllis Shoemaker wanted to be able to pick out her husband among the crowd of thousands running the race, and when she stopped her car along the race route, it would be obviously clear whether Fred was coming or going.

“I was talking to her just a couple days ago and she said that I picked out the shorts,” he said. “I don’t remember it that way.”

Moore said he adopted the bright pink shorts look for Mount Marathon in either 1984 or 1985. Since then, he’s gone through at least a dozen pairs of pink shorts.

“I try to stay clean,” he said. “I don’t want my pink shorts getting muddy.”

Shoemaker has run Mount Marathon 20 times herself, most recently in 2006, and has six top-10 finishes to her credit. Moore said his wife hasn’t raced in recent years after getting knee replacements.

While he often won’t be seen approaching the finish line muddied or bloodied, Moore said the final half mile or so to the end is a time to enjoy the atmosphere.

“I kind of go down the street like a baseball player that’s just hit an out-of-thepark home run,” he said.

“Relish the crowd and don’t be looking tired at the end.

“I don’t want to get muddy, bloody or let anybody see me looking tired.”

At the end of the day, Moore said as long as Alaska embraces him, he’ll embrace it back.

“I’ve never cared much about competition,” he said.

“But what I do care about is, when I do something, I like to do it well.”

U.S. attorney in Alaska said.

But the federal government hopes the funding can help retain law enforcement officers in some rural communities, where it can take a long time before state troopers can arrive to investigate crimes, and to build and strengthen tribal courts. Often, it can take troopers hours to reach a village given the sheer vastness of the nation’s largest state, with few roads. That can stretch into days if the weather is bad.

State authorities handle criminal investigations in more than 200 Alaska Native villages. A 2013 federal report found that at least 75 Alaska Native communities had no law enforcement presence.

Tribal leaders have spoken candidly about barriers that victims face in seeking justice, saying some sexual as-

sault victims must take boats or planes to urban areas to get a medical forensic exam.

The move drew praise from the Alaska Federation of Natives, which applauded the Justice Department for demonstrating a commitment to strengthening federal, state and tribal partnerships.

“We appreciate that U.S. Attorney General William Barr clearly understands the urgency of the public safety situation in rural Alaska,” the organization’s president, Julie Kitka, said in a statement.

U.S. Rep. Don Young, an Alaska Republican who lives in the tiny community of Fort Yukon, above the Arctic Circle, said he was glad Barr released the money.

“I’m cautioning people, though, because money just doesn’t solve the problem,” the 86-year-old Young said

Friday afternoon while filing paperwork in Anchorage to seek a 25th term in the House.

“There should be recognition that this problem can only be solved by support by the communities themselves.”

While the money will help, Young said, “You can’t expect it to be done just by outside influences.”

In May, Barr toured rural Alaska communities after taking part in a round-table discussion in Anchorage with Alaska Native leaders. Vivian Korthius, with the Association of Village Council Presidents, told Barr there were only six village public safety officers in her 48-village region.

Barr said his declaration allows the Justice Department to direct resources “where they are needed most and needed immediately.”

chamber. This year the Lemonhead mask was donned by Hondel’s mom, Terri Burdick, who put her experience with the Kenai Performers to good use while entertaining the kids.

Due to the competitive nature of the lemonade business these days, the young entrepreneurs of Lemonade Day have come up with creative and unique offerings for their customers over the years, going way beyond just lemonade.

Paxton McKnight had a stand set up inside the Fred Meyer in Soldotna and took a sweet-and-salty approach to his venture, offering red licorice and popcorn alongside his homemade lemonade.

McKnight has set up lemonade stands at other locations in the past, and he said that although business was good this year, his best year was when he was able to set his stand up in the KeyBank parking lot on the day of the Soldotna River Festival.

“It was pretty easy to catch people on their way across the street to the park,” McKnight said. “So we made a lot of money that year.”

McKnight said he plans to donate 30% of the profits from Saturday to Samaritan’s Purse, an evangelical humanitarian aid organization.

On the other side of Fred Meyer was another lemonade stand, this one run by a few kids from the Midnight Sun Chapter of the Future Farmers of America. In addition to offering lemonade made with “TLC” and organic lemons, the FFA kids also had homemade Rice Krispie treats and snickerdoodles for sale. Sam Festervand, JaLeen Gattenby, Michael Boatright and Nathaniel Boatright are using the profits from their lemonade stand to help fund future FFA trips and projects.

Outside of First American Title, the Lervig Brothers Gunnar and Ryder were trying their hands at the business for the second year in a row. The Lervig Brothers gave their mom credit for actually making the lemonade — which they offered in the traditional and strawberry varieties — but the two boys had the salesmanship down

to a science. Ryder’s calls of “Come get your lemonade!” could be heard from across the parking lot and didn’t fail to draw a crowd. The Lervigs had popsicles, chips and water bottles, as well as an assortment of fresh fruit to add a touch of class to each glass of lemonade.

Gunnar said that most of their profits from Saturday would be going toward equipment for their football team.

“And some toys!” Ryder quickly added.

From their stand — dubbed Lemony Spigots — at the entrance to Sportsman’s Warehouse, Bri Havrilla and her daughters Addison, Isabella and Emma sold blueberry and strawberry lemonade, Arnold Palmer iced tea and lemonade, and homemade lemon cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Addison said that business had been good so far, so good in fact that a few people had come back for seconds. For Addison, the biggest challenge of starting a lemonade business from scratch was actually making the lemonade. It took a few trial batches to create the perfect recipe, she said. The Havrilla’s planned to donate 10% of their profits to St. Ju-

de’s Children’s Hospital.

Over at the Liquid Sunshine booth on Binkley Street, 6-year-old Ava McCaughey was serving up her lemonade in style, sporting a pair of sunglasses and a pink tutu while asking her customers “strawberry or regular?” McCaughey offered fresh fruit with the lemonade as well as banana creme cookies and muffins. McCaughey said they hadn’t decided yet on how to spend or save their profits from the day, but her business partner Zoey Stone had suggested putting some of it toward a trip to Disney Land.

Outside of Kenai Kids Therapy on the Kenai Spur Highway, Avery and Nathan Powell had their 907 Sibling Rivalry stand stocked with homemade Rice Krispies treats, Red Vines and two kinds of lemonade. They said the name came from the fact that they offered two types of lemonade and wanted to see which one sold better. Nathan said that the pink was winning at that point in the day, but added that last year the traditional yellow had sold out fast. This year the Powells will be giving half of their

profits to the local Soldotna Whalers Wrestling Club.

Local Girl Scout Troop 210 also had their Hello Sunshine! stand on the Kenai Spur Highway just down the road, outside of Sweeney’s. Soon-to-be first graders Brooklynne Timm and Kinley Clack were running the stand for the lunch rush. As well as homemade snacks, they offered frozen pineapple lemonade blended while you wait.

Continuing south on the highway, Autumn Bass, Aries Lyons, Logan Amaya, Tucker Challans and Alexa Menzel sold strawberry and traditional lemonade while Yo! Tacos owner Nila Sanchez set up her taco shop just a few feet away. Sanchez has sponsored kids and their lemonade stands through her Next Generation program for the past two years in order to encourage and develop youth entrepreneurial and leadership skills for the future.

The kids were in charge of running the lemonade stand, but Sanchez was always close by to give them a quick pep talk or break into dance while holding signs on the side of the road.

What others say

Democracy depends on free access to public records No one owns the law, because the law

belongs to everyone. It’s a principle that seems so obvious that most people wouldn’t give it a second thought. But that’s what is at issue in Georgia v.

Public.Resource.Org, a case about whether the State of Georgia can assert copyright in its annotated state code. This week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case in its next term.

Americans deserve free and easy access to public records of all kinds, including court documents. But access to the law is the most important of all: Democracy depends on it. Keeping the law free of copyright is the first step.

Yet the law is in disarray on the topic. The last time the Supreme Court ruled on the issue was in 1888, and it only addressed opinions written by judges. In the last century, a number of lower courts issued lofty proclamations on how the law belongs to the people and the people alone. Meanwhile, copyright laws passed in 1909 and 1976 explicitly excluded any “work of the United States government.” But that exclusion applies only to the federal government.

So when the nonprofit organization Public.Resource.Org purchased, scanned and uploaded all 186 volumes of the annotated Georgia state code to its website, the state sued to take it down. The code was already available free online through the state’s partnership with LexisNexis. As part of the deal, Georgia gave LexisNexis exclusive rights to official “annotations” that elaborate on the law but aren’t legally binding. LexisNexis allowed users to read the law free and it sold the annotated code for $404 per copy.

Public.Resource.Org is no stranger to litigation. For years, it has been embroiled in lawsuits over its publication of fire and electrical safety standards, air duct leakage standards, nonprofit tax returns and European Union baby pacifier regulations. The founder of Public.Resource.Org was once labeled a “rogue archivist.” But if publishing building safety standards online is an act of roguery, it is time for the courts to take a hard look at what copyright is for.

Much of the litigation against Public.Resource.

Org falls into an ever-expanding gray zone of the law, created by government outsourcing bits and pieces of its regulatory function to the private sector. Regulations for everything from student loan eligibility to food additives can use standards written by trade groups.

Courts have issued conflicting opinions on this premium tier of the law. In the Georgia case, an appeals court ruled that the annotations were “sufficiently law-like,” partly because LexisNexis had created the annotations at the direction of the state.

As a consequence, “the people are the ultimate authors of the annotations.”

If the law is confused, it is in part thanks to the Supreme Court, which handed down two rulings on the subject in 1888. One stated that the law is in the public domain, and the other said that compiling the law with a table of contents, summaries and an index could be copyrightable. It’s this latter case that the State of Georgia relies on.

The modern-day outsourcing of regulations to the private sector makes this issue all the more important to take up anew. If the law belongs to anyone, it belongs to the people. After a hundred or so years of confusion, the Supreme Court now has the chance to affirm this principle of selfgovernance.

Stand up for equality and support HB 82 A laska V oices E van A nderson Fifty years ago, bricks thrown at Stonewall Inn in Manhattan sparked a riot that ignited a global liberation movement. We have trans women of color at Stonewall like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera to thank for responding to police violence with direct action, and making it possible to stand up for equal rights without fear of discrimination for every American, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people.

We have Stonewall to thank for the annual celebration of Pride that continues today.

Celebrating Pride is just as important today as it was in 1969.

Indeed, the LGBTQ community has made major progress in the last halfcentury. However, despite an increase in visibility, LGBTQ people do not yet have equal protection under federal or state law in Alaska. A recent survey suggests 45% of Americans incorrectly believe that the LGBTQ have the same rights as every other American — yet this couldn’t be further from the truth in Alaska or the majority of states.

This year, there were setbacks: a non-discrimination ordinance in Fairbanks vetoed by the mayor; a rise in hate crimes among trans people of color; a ban on trans troops in the military; a rollback of federal healthcare protections allowing denial of coverage on the basis

of “religious freedom;” and a decision that shocked me personally when the international United Methodist Church — my own spiritual home — decided to take a hardline stance against the LGBTQ community.

The Alaska LGBTQ community is no stranger to resistance, and we know the formula for change. Juneau, Sitka and Anchorage led the way in passing non-discrimination protections. In Fairbanks, residents attended early morning work sessions and testified well into the night. By making their voices heard, Fairbanks demonstrated democracy in action — only to lose fair protections at the stroke of a mayor’s pen.

Just last year, voters in Anchorage faced a “bathroom bill” on the ballot, threatening to strip equal rights from trans friends and neighbors. In response, the community swelled in an outpouring of support, having tough conversations with voters and mobilizing enough people to make history by being the first in the nation to affirm equal rights for trans people at the ballot box, by a wide margin.

Watching fellow humans allow personal ignorance to obscure and denigrate the beauty of our community is painful. However, if we continue to lean into strong action at the local, state and national level, we will ensure these moments are mere blips on the march towards valuing the innate humanity in all Alaskans.

We need statewide non-discrimination protections to protect Alaskans’ access to employment, housing, public accommodations, education, healthcare and the electoral system. In Alaska, we have the chance to change history.

House Bill 82 by Rep. Andy Josephson, D-Anchorage, would provide equal protections for all, regardless of gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation. Alaskans deserve a life free from violence, fear and hatred.

We deserve a government that reflects and protects communities it serves. It’s time to protect all Alaskans, regardless of identity. Reach out to your legislator today, and encourage them to become a co-sponsor of HB or SB 82.

Ultimately, decision-makers are responsible for our communities’ mental health; however I encourage all of us to check in with the queer and trans Alaskans in our own lives. Without state or federal protections, social support systems carry all the more weight — the very forms of social capital to which people of color, immigrants, those who are HIV+, and working class people have access at more limited rates.

Summer in Alaska means long days.

Whether you’re fishing, harvesting or putting away food for the winter, consider taking a break from the summer grind and giving your legislator a call before Pride Month is over. We will achieve equal rights for all Alaskans, but only after we work together to elevate it as a top priority. By the time the Legislature is back in session and you’re taking another can of this summer’s salmon out of the pantry, it will be time for us to push this bill out of committee and out on the floor. We’re all counting on your support. Stand up, vote equality, be heard.

News Analysis

Trump’s diplomacy puts relationships over results

By ZEKE MILLER and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — For President Donald Trump, a four-day visit to Asia is shaping up to be more about relationships than results.

In Japan for the Group of 20 summit, Trump notched few identifiable accomplishments on a range of pressing challenges as he savored the show of diplomatic backslapping.

He went into his meetings with friends and foes alike against the backdrop of global crises, from Iranian aggression to Russian election meddling. Eager to avoid a repeat of his past tumultuous international summit visits, Trump traded hard-nosed negotiations for compliments and sidestepped thorny issues in public with even the most troublesome of global figures.

After meeting with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman, Turkey’s Recep Tayyep Erdogan and China’s Xi Jinping, all of whom have authoritarian tendencies, the president invoked the imperative of strong relationships nine times in a closing news conference at the G-20. “I really have a good relationship with everybody,” he said.

Then he moved on to South Korea, holding out hope for another chance to show off what may be his “Art of the Handshake.”

He invited North Korea’s Kim Jong Un to join him for a quick exchange of greetings at the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone.

The prioritization of personal ties over concrete achievements revealed the unexpected flip side to Trump’s transactional view of foreign policy. Despite his reputation as a dogged negotiator, he often frames developing connections with world leaders as an end unto itself.

“We have a great relationship and that’s very important, whether you have a place

like Saudi Arabia, in all fairness, or China, or North Korea, or any country,” Trump said. “Otherwise you end up in a lot of very bad wars and lots of problems.”

At the same time, though, Trump hasn’t hesitated to insult and undercut some of America’s closest allies, straining ties with partners such as France’s Emmanuel Macron, Canada’s Justin Trudeau and Germany’s Angela Merkel. He publicly aired grievances against Japan, Germany and India in the days leading up to his trip to Asia.

During his travels, he directed valuable attention to weighing in on domestic issues and U.S. politics — a focus that otherwise could have been devoted to diplomacy.

In Osaka, Trump’s cultivation of world figures played out in ways big and small.

In a meeting with Merkel, he set aside concerns about Germany’s defense spending.

He was cavalier with Putin about the issue of Russian interference in American elections, which U.S. intelligence agencies fear will occur again in 2020.

“I honestly don’t know what Trump’s goals are,” said Michael McFaul, ambassador to Russia under President Barack Obama. “He defines a good meeting and a positive relationship with Putin as the goal.

That should be the means to achieving the real goals.”

Trump praised the summit host, Japan’s Shinzo Abe, for his hospitality. Trump fondly recounted to Xi the red carpet welcome granted to the American nearly two years ago when he visited Beijing. As he and Xi declared a cease-fire in their countries’ trade war, Trump enthused that “Chinese culture is an incredible culture,” and repeatedly called Xi his friend.

Trump aides contend that he is taking the long view on personal diplomacy, believing that while it may seem at odds with his oft-invoked “America First” worldview, it did create images of statesmanship that contrast with the political infighting among

the Democrats back home looking to replace him.

Critics deride it as a “Trump First” policy, in which a few flattering words can buy an adversary Trump’s silence.

Either way, the affirmations of friendship haven’t yet correlated with results.

That reality was at the fore as Trump expressed hope for a meeting with Kim at the Demilitarized Zone on Sunday.

U.S.-North Korean talks on nuclear issues and even the repatriation of Korean war remains have broken down in recent months after the failure of their second summit in Hanoi in February. But Trump is eager for the historic image at the DMZ — he said Saturday that he would welcome becoming the first U.S. president to step over the border into North Korea — and hopes it can help jump-start negotiations he once believed could deliver him a Nobel Peace Prize.

The mere invitation from Trump marks a significant propaganda victory for Kim, who has long sought and been denied recognition on the international stage. Trump has made clear he considers Kim a friend, even as the North has resumed some ballistic missile testing in recent months that Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, contends violated U.N. sanctions.

Trump has often placed a priority on close ties over matters of principle, arguing it pays off in the long term. After his meeting with the Saudi crown prince, the president falsely claimed that “nobody so far has pointed directly a finger at the future king of Saudi Arabia” in the murder of journalist and U.S. resident Jamal Khashoggi.

U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that the prince must have at least been aware of the plot. Trump’s willingness to embrace the royal helped clear the transformation of the Saudi leader from international pariah to member of the club in Osaka.

Far-right, anti-fascist groups clash

Judge bars Trump from using $2.5B to build border wall

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Competing demonstrations spilled into the streets of downtown Portland on Saturday, with fights breaking out in places as marchers clashed.

At least three groups had planned rallies or demonstrations at different sites in the city, including members of the so-called Proud Boys and anti-fascist groups that include “antifa,” and the fights occurred when participants of the opposing groups met, according to The Oregonian/OregonLive.

In a statement on Twitter, the Portland Police Bureau says injuries had occurred in the crowd as a result of the fights, but it did not specify how many, or whether arrests had been made. The bureau did not respond to phone calls or emails seeking clarification.

Andy Ngo, who describes himself as an editor at the conservative website Quillette and says he is “hated by antifa,” said on his Twitter feed that he was

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge on Friday prohibited President Donald Trump from tapping $2.5 billion in military funding to build high-priority segments of his prized border wall in California, Arizona and New Mexico.

Judge Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr. in Oakland acted in two lawsuits filed by California and by activists who contended that the money transfer was unlawful and that building the wall would pose environmental threats.

“All President Trump has succeeded in building is a constitutional crisis, threatening immediate harm to our state,” said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who led a 20-state coalition of attorneys general in one lawsuit.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which sued on behalf of Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition, praised the decision.

“This decision upholds the basic principle that the president has no power to spend taxpayer money without Congress’ approval,” said ACLU staff attorney Dror Ladin. “We will continue to defend this core principle of our democracy.”

Speaking Saturday at a press conference marking the end of the Group of 20 summit in Osaka, Japan, Trump called the decision

attacked by anti-fascist protesters and had to be taken to the hospital to treat injuries to his face and head.

Ngo also said the attackers took his camera equipment.

Protesters also clashed with police, throwing water

bottles and eggs at officers.

In separate social media posts later in the day, police declared the situation to be a civil disturbance and warned participants faced arrest.

The Portland Police Bu-

reau on Twitter asked for the public’s help in investigating violent assaults. The bureau also said that it has received reports that some of the milkshakes thrown by protesters contained quickdrying cement.

NC redistricting fight turns to state courts

By GARY D. ROBERTSON Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled federal courts aren’t the place to settle partisan gerrymandering disputes, opponents of North Carolina’s district maps are putting their hopes in state courts.

An election reform group, the state Democratic Party and voters will go to court in two weeks to try to persuade state judges that Republican-drawn General Assembly districts discriminate against Democrats based on their political beliefs and voting history.

What’s different in this case is that the plaintiffs — some of whom sued in federal court over the state’s congressional map, which ended with Thursday’s 5-4 Supreme Court decision against them — argue the House and Senate boundaries violate the state constitution, not the U.S. Constitution.

“We are confident that justice will prevail in the North Carolina courts,” said Bob Phillips with the North Carolina office of Common Cause, which is a plaintiff in both matters. “And we

will continue to work with state lawmakers to reform our broken redistricting system that has left far too many without a voice in Raleigh.”?

Voting-rights advocates across the country have vowed to turn to state litigation after Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the opinion addressing North Carolina and Maryland cases that federal courts have no authority to determine whether partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional.

Addressing complaints of partisan gerrymandering in state courts has already succeeded in Pennsylvania, where last year the state Supreme Court struck down congressional districts based on language in the Pennsylvania constitution that is similar to North Carolina’s. That ruling led to the court redrawing congressional lines. Democrats picked up four additional seats in 2018.

The pending partisan gerrymandering case filed in Wake County court marks at least the eighth lawsuit challenging North Carolina maps on the basis of racial and partisan bias since the current round of redistricting began in 2011. The law-

suits resulted in redrawing congressional lines in 2016 and legislative districts in 2017 — both to address racial bias. The state has spent millions of taxpayer dollars defending the maps.

Unlike the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, the state Supreme Court that would hear the appeal of the trial court’s decision has six registered Democrats and one Republican.

“My guess is that the North Carolina court — given its composition — will think differently than the U.S. Supreme Court,” said Guy-Uriel Charles, a Duke University redistricting expert and co-director of the Duke Law Center on Law, Race and Politics.

In previous decades, the state’s Democrats drew maps favoring their candidates that also ended up in court. U.S. Supreme Court rulings in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s plowed new ground on the limits of shaping boundaries to achieve more representation by candidates supported by black voters.

But litigation by political rivals and civil rights groups went into high gear against Republicans who controlled

the mapmaking after winning legislative majorities in 2010. There was a national effort by the GOP to win statehouses and set the course for district lines.

North Carolina maps drawn in 2011 helped legislators create veto-proof majorities at the General Assembly, allowing them to advance their agenda on taxes, abortion and the environment. Republicans ultimately held 10 of North Carolina’s 13 seats in Congress.

The North Carolina House’s chief mapmaker this decade has called on the plaintiffs in state court to withdraw their case because of Thursday’s ruling. Those suing have no plans to withdraw.

“The U.S. Supreme Court just reaffirmed that redistricting is an issue that should be worked on here by elected legislators, not decided in court,” state Rep. David Lewis said.

Roberts’ opinion, however, doesn’t say state judges are prevented from adjudicating these matters. “Provisions in state statutes and state constitutions can provide standards and guidance for state courts to apply,” he wrote.

Oregon Republican senators end walkout

By ANDREW SELSKY and SARAH ZIMMERMAN Associated Press

SALEM, Ore. — Republican lawmakers returned to the Oregon Senate on Saturday, ending an acrimonious nine-day walkout over a carbon emissions bill that would have been the second such legislation in the nation.

The boycott had escalated when the Democratic governor ordered the state police to find and return the rogue Republicans to the Senate so the chamber could convene, and a counterthreat by one GOP senator to violently resist any such attempt. Senate Republicans fled the state to avoid being forcibly returned by the Oregon State Police, whose jurisdiction ends at the state line.

Democrats have an 18 to 12 majority in the Senate but need at least 20 members — and therefore at least two Republicans — present to vote on legislation.

Nine minority Republicans returned to the Senate on Saturday after Senate President Peter Courtney said the majority Democrats lacked the necessary 16 votes to pass the legislation, a statewide cap on car-

“a disgrace.”

“So we’re immediately appealing it and we think we’ll win the appeal,” he went on to say. “There was no reason that that should have happened. And a lot of wall is being built.”

The decisions are in line with Gilliam’s ruling last month that blocked work from beginning on two of the highest-priority projects — one spanning 46 miles (74 kilometers) in New Mexico and another covering 5 miles (8 kilometers) in Yuma, Arizona.

But the fight is far from over. The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to take up the same issue of using military money next week.

At issue is President Donald Trump’s February declaration of a national emergency so that he could divert $6.7 billion from military and other sources to begin construction of the wall, which could have begun as early as Monday.

Trump declared the emergency after losing a fight with the Democraticled House that led to a 35day government shutdown.

The president identified $3.6 billion from military construction funds, $2.5 billion from Defense Department counterdrug activities and $600 million from the Treasury Department’s asset forfeiture fund.

43-year-old El Salvador migrant dies in US custody

By COLLEEN LONG Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A 43-year-old El Salvadoran man who crossed into the U.S. with his daughter collapsed at a border station and later died at a hospital, officials said Saturday.

The man had been held about a week at the Rio Grande Valley central processing center in McAllen, Texas, according to a law enforcement official. The official said the man, who had health issues, had been medically checked.

The daughter was still in U.S. Border Patrol custody, but officials had requested an expedited transfer to a shelter run by the agency that manages children who cross the border alone, the official said.

The official did not know the daughter’s age.

The child will be in a shelter until she is released to a sponsor, but that process could take weeks. The official was not authorized to divulge details of an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

According to a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the man’s cause of death is not yet known.

The facility, like most other Border Patrol stations along the U.S.-Mexico border, is overcrowded. A review of the death was underway,

and Congress and the inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security, the watchdog that oversees the border agencies, has been notified, according to the statement. So was the El Salvadoran government.

Border stations are generally at capacity with about 4,000 people, and more than 15,000 are in custody. Advocates and attorneys have decried fetid, filthy conditions inside the stations that were not meant as more than a temporary holding station.

Even with expedited processing, it’s not clear how long the daughter would remain at the McAllen facility.

Teens and children are only supposed to be held for 72 hours, but because of massive delays in the system, they are held for several days or weeks.

At least two other adults and five children have died in custody since December, including a teenage boy who died from the flu and had been at the central processing center in McAllen last month.

More than two dozen others were sick with flu in an outbreak there in May, and the facility was briefly shut down and sanitized.

To help with the care of migrants in custody, Congress has sent President Donald Trump a $4.6 billion aid package. Administration officials say they are expecting a 25% drop in crossings in the month of June.

bon that allows companies to trade pollution credits.

Shortly after convening, senators quickly voted 1710 to send the climate proposal back to committee, essentially killing it for the session.

Sen. Sara Gelser, a Democrat from the college town of Corvallis, said the demise of the cap-and-trade bill has deeply upset many constituents.

“That’s a bill that’s been many, many years in the making,” Gelser told report-

We have to. Our planet demands it.”

The House had previously passed the bill, one of the centerpieces of Oregon’s 2019 legislative session, which is scheduled to end late Sunday.

Republicans, who make up the minority in both chambers, uniformly opposed the proposal saying it would increase the cost

of fuel and wreak financial havoc on the trucking and the logging industries.

One of the Republicans absent Saturday was Sen. Brian Boquist, who had told state police to come heavily armed and to send bachelor officers if they were going to forcibly return him to the Senate during the walkout.

Senate Republican leader Herman Baertschiger, Jr., on Friday refused to condemn Boquist’s words, only saying the comments were unhelpful.

Body parts found in gator after Florida man discovered dead FORT MEADE, Fla. — Officials are investigating the death of a man discovered floating in a Florida canal with some of his remains found inside an alligator.

The Ledger reports that a person found the body floating west of Fort Meade and saw an alligator had parts of it in its mouth. The victim was identified as 45-year-old Michael Ford II. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission trapped and killed the alligator to perform a necropsy, which revealed that one of Ford’s hands and one of his feet were in the gator’s stomach.

An autopsy revealed Ford had other injuries caused by the gator and apparently drowned, though an official cause of death has yet to be determined.

World

Tens of thousands join gay pride parades

By AMY GUTHRIE Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Tens of thousands of people turned out for gay pride celebrations around the world on Saturday, including a boisterous party in Mexico and the first pride march in North Macedonia’s capital.

Rainbow flags and umbrellas swayed and music pounded as the march along Mexico City’s Paseo de la Reforma avenue got underway, with couples, families and activists seeking to raise visibility for sexual diversity in the country.

Same-sex civil unions have been legal in Mexico City since 2007, and gay marriage since 2009. A handful of Mexican states have also legalized samesex unions, which are supposed to be recognized nationwide. But pride participants said Mexico has a long way to go in becoming a more tolerant and accepting place for LGBTQ individuals.

“There’s a lot of machismo, a lot of ignorance still,” said Monica Nochebuena, who identifies as bisexual.

Nochebuena, 28, attended the Mexico City march for the first time with her mother and sister on Saturday, wearing a shirt that said: “My mama already knows.” Her mother’s shirt read: “My daughter already told me.”

US, Taliban open Doha talks in fresh bid to end war

Jose Luis Gutierrez, 43, said the march is about visibility, and rights, especially for Mexico’s vulnerable transgender population. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights says that poverty, exclusion and violence reduce life expectancy for trans women in the Americas to 35 years.

In New York City, Friday marked the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, when a police raid on a gay bar in Manhattan led to a riot and days of demonstrations that morphed into a sustained LGBTQ liberation movement. The city’s huge Pride parade on Sunday also swings past the bar.

Other LGBTQ celebrations took place from India to Europe, with more events planned for Sunday.

In the North Macedonian capital of Skopje, U.S. Charge d’Affaires Micaela Schweitzer-Bluhm attended the first pride march there in a festive and incidentfree atmosphere despite a countermarch organized by religious and “pro-family” organizations.

People from across Macedonia took part, along with marchers from neighboring Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia and other countries.

“This year Skopje joined more than 70 Pride (march-

es) and the USA are very proud to be part of this,” Schweitzer-Bluhm told reporters. “There is a lot of progress here in North Macedonia but still a lot has to be done.”

In Paraguay, about 2,000 people marched through the capital some carrying signs saying “Universities Free of Homophobia” and “Equal Rights.”

The gay pride march came on the same day that conservative Paraguayan President Mario Abdo Benítez tweeted: “We will defend the family as the basis of society and the protection of life from conception.”

ISLAMABAD — A fresh round of talks between the U.S. and the Taliban began in Qatar on Saturday, just days after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Washington is hoping for an Afghan peace agreement before Sept.

1.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid confirmed to The Associated Press that negotiations had begun. Originally scheduled to begin in the morning, the two sides sat down mid-afternoon for the seventh time in a series of direct talks that began last year following the appointment of U.S. peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad.

As in previous talks between Khalilzad and the Taliban, the focus is on the withdrawal of U.S. troops and Taliban guarantees to prevent Afghanistan from again hosting militants who can stage global attacks. Both sides say they have come to an understanding on the withdrawal and the guarantees but details have yet to be worked out.

The protracted war in Afghanistan began in 2001 to unseat the Taliban and hunt down al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his followers, who carried out the 9-11 attacks in the United States while operating in Afghan territory. After nearly 18 years and billions of dollars spent,

the Taliban control or contest roughly half of Afghan territory.

In the Afghan capital of Kabul last week, Pompeo said “real progress” had been made on a draft agreement with the Taliban to ensure “that Afghan soil never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists.”

Both Khalilzad and Pompeo have said that agreements with the Taliban will come hand in hand with understandings on an intra-Afghan dialogue and a permanent cease-fire. It was expected that a timetable would be among the discussion points in the Doha talks.

The Taliban’s negotiating team has been led by Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who cofounded the Taliban movement with its leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, who ruled with an iron fist, imposing a strict brand of Islam. Omar died several years ago, while Baradar has been held in a Pakistani jail since 2010 until his release earlier this year.

The Taliban have refused to meet directly with President Ashraf Ghani’s government but have held several rounds of talks with a collection of Afghan personalities from Kabul, including former president Hamid Karzai, several prominent opposition leaders and government peace council members. Both those meetings were held in Moscow earlier this year.

Trump reaches out to Kim for border rendezvous

By ZEKE MILLER and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — President Donald Trump issued a Twitter invitation Saturday to North Korea’s Kim Jong Un to meet for a handshake at the Demilitarized Zone that separates the North and South, and expressed a willingness to cross the border for what would be a history-making photo opportunity.

The invitation, while long rumored in diplomatic circles, still came across as an impulsive display of showmanship by a president bent on obtaining a legacydefining nuclear deal. North Korea responded by calling the offer a “very interesting

suggestion.”

Presidential visits to the DMZ are traditionally carefully guarded secrets for security reasons. White House officials couldn’t immediately say whether Kim had agreed to meet with Trump.

The president himself claimed before flying from Japan to South Korea that he wasn’t even sure Kim was in North Korea to accept the invitation.

“All I did is put out a feeler, if you’d like to meet,” Trump said later of the message to Kim. He added, somewhat implausibly: “I just thought of it this morning.”

Later, after arriving in Seoul from a summit in Osaka of world leaders, Trump offered no further in-

sight into his planned trip to the heavily fortified border.

“It will be very interesting,” he said.

While in Japan, Trump said at a news conference that he was “literally visiting the DMZ,” but wasn’t sure whether Kim would meet him.

Trump said he’d “feel very comfortable” crossing the border into North Korea if Kim showed up, saying he’d “have no problem” becoming the first U.S. president to step into North Korea.

His comments followed hours after Trump asked for Kim to meet him there. “If Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say

Hello(?)!” he wrote.

It was not immediately clear what the agenda, if any, would be for the potential third Trump-Kim meeting.

“If he’s there we’ll see each other for two minutes,” Trump predicted.

Such a spectacle would present a valuable propaganda victory for Kim, who, with his family, has long been denied the recognition they sought on the international stage.

Despite Trump’s comments Saturday, he had told The Hill newspaper in Washington in an interview this past week that he would be visiting the DMZ and “might” meet with Kim. The paper reported it had withheld Trump’s comments,

Putin says liberalism ‘eating itself’

had dinner that they agreed a possible Trump-Kim meeting would be a “good thing.” Moon talked about Kim’s commitment to denuclearization, while Trump expressed his “amicable” views on Kim, according to the official, Yoon Do-han, who added that a meeting would help pave the way for the resumption of nuclear diplomacy.

Trump’s summit with Kim in Vietnam earlier this year collapsed without an agreement for denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.

He became the first sitting U.S. president to meet with the leader of the isolated nation last year, when they signed an agreement in Singapore to bring the North toward denuclearization.

Around the World Sudan’s army warns protest leaders of violence at rallies

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV Associated Press

OSAKA, Japan — Russian President Vladimir Putin fired a new broadside against Western liberalism at the Group of 20 summit in Japan, saying that policies such as welcoming migrants have hurt people’s interests.

Speaking after the summit in Osaka concluded on Saturday, Putin charged that Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and a drop of popularity of traditional parties in Europe have been rooted in growing public dismay with mainstream liberal policies.

He said Trump’s election victory was driven by growing disenchantment with liberal policies.

“The liberal idea has started eating itself,” Putin said at a news conference. “Millions of people live their lives, and those who propagate those ideas are separate from them.”

He also charged that the influx of migrants to Europe has infringed on people’s rights.

“People live in their own country, according to their own traditions, why should it happen to them?” Putin said.

The Russian leader added that while “liberal ideas remain attractive as a whole,” election results show that people want change.

Putin hailed his meeting

citing security concerns by the White House.

North Korea’s first vice foreign minister, Choe Son Hui, said the meeting, if realized, would serve as “another meaningful occasion in further deepening the personal relations between the two leaders and advancing the bilateral relations.”

South Korea’s presidential Blue House said in a tweet that Trump asked South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the Group of 20 meetings whether he’d seen Trump’s Twitter message to Kim. When Moon replied he had, Trump said “(Let’s) try doing it” and raised his thumb, the Blue House said.

with Trump on Friday on the sidelines of the G-20 summit as “business-like and pragmatic.”

“We addressed almost the entire list of issues of mutual concern,” he said. “Of course, we talked about the situation in various parts of the world.

Overall, these consultations were useful.”

He said the claims of Russian meddling in the U.S. election were part of the agenda of his talk with Trump.

At the start of Friday’s meeting, the Russian leader

laughed when a reporter shouted about Trump warning Putin “not to meddle” in the 2020 presidential election.

Asked Saturday whether the issue was discussed during the meeting, Putin said that “we talked about it,” but didn’t elaborate.

He said he believes it’s necessary to “turn the page” in relations with the U.S., which have plunged to the lowest level since the Cold War era.

In November, Trump abruptly canceled a scheduled round of talks with Putin on

the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Argentina over Russia’s seizure of Ukrainian navy ships and their crews. Russia has kept the seamen in custody pending trial.

Putin said that Trump raised the issue during Friday’s meeting and made it a priority.

The Russian leader said the naval incident was a provocation staged by the former Ukrainian president, and signaled that the Ukrainian seamen could be released after their trial is over.

KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudan’s ruling military council warned protest leaders Saturday that they would be held responsible for any destruction or damage by “vandals” and people “with an agenda” ahead of planned mass rallies demanding civilian rule more than two months after the military ousted autocratic President Omar al-Bashir.

The country’s pro-democracy movement called for demonstrations across the country Sunday, despite efforts by the African Union and Ethiopia to bring the generals and the protest leaders back to the negotiating table. The AU and Ethiopia have mediated between the two sides and floated a joint proposal for a transition of power.

But protest leaders said they believe the military’s comments were meant as a threat to allow them to quash Sunday’s demonstrations. The Sudanese Professionals’ Association, a leading protest organization, said security forces stormed its headquarters late Saturday and banned its planned news conference ahead of the rallies.

The protests are planned to mark the 30th anniversary of the Islamist-backed coup that brought Omar alBashir to power in 1989, toppling Sudan’s last elected government. The protest groups said the demonstrations would not be canceled unless the military council hands power over to civilians.

The military council warned against “any destruction or damage” to people and state institutions because of “traffic disruption or road closure” during Sunday’s rallies.

Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, deputy head of the military council, insisted the council does not oppose the planned demonstrations.

“We are not against peaceful rallies. But there are (vandals), people who have an agenda. We do not want troubles; we do not need strife,” he told a gathering of army supporters in the capital of Khartoum.

Today in History Today is Sunday, June 30, the 181st day of 2019. There are 184 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 30, 1936, the Civil War novel “Gone with the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell was first published by The Macmillan Co. in New York.

On this date: In 1865, eight people, including Mary Surratt and Dr. Samuel Mudd, were convicted by a military commission of conspiring with John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. (Four defendants, including Surratt, were executed; Mudd was sentenced to life in prison, but was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson in 1869.)

In 1918, labor activist and socialist Eugene V. Debs was arrested in Cleveland, charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 for a speech he’d made two weeks earlier denouncing U.S. involvement in World War I. (Debs was sentenced to prison and disenfranchised for life.)

In 1934, Adolf Hitler launched his “blood purge” of political and military rivals in Germany in what came to be known as “The Night of the Long Knives.”

In 1953, the first Chevrolet Corvette, with its innovative fiberglass body, was built at a General Motors assembly facility in Flint, Michigan.

In 1963, Pope Paul VI was crowned the 262nd head of the Roman Catholic Church.

In 1966, the National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded in Washington, D.C. In 1971, the Supreme Court ruled, 6-3, that the government could not prevent The New York Times or The Washington Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers. A Soviet space mission ended in tragedy when three cosmonauts aboard Soyuz 11 were found dead of asphyxiation inside their capsule after it had returned to Earth.

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter announced he had decided against production of the Rockwell B-1 bomber, saying it was too costly. (However, the B-1 was later revived by President Ronald Reagan.)

In 1982, the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution expired, having failed to receive the required number of ratifications for its adoption, despite having its seven-year deadline extended by three years.

In 1985, 39 American hostages from a hijacked TWA jetliner were freed in Beirut after being held 17 days.

In 1997, the Union Jack was lowered for the last time over Government House in Hong Kong as Britain prepared to hand the colony back to China at midnight after ruling it for 156 years.

In 2013, 19 elite firefighters known as members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots were killed battling a wildfire northwest of Phoenix after a change in wind direction pushed the flames back toward their position.

Ten years ago: Democrat Al Franken was declared the winner of Minnesota’s eight-month U.S. Senate vote recount, defeating Republican incumbent Norm Coleman. A Yemeni jet with 153 people on board crashed into the Indian Ocean as it tried to land on the island nation of Comoros; a 12-year-old girl was the sole survivor. American soldier Pfc. Bowe R. Bergdahl went missing from his base in eastern Afghanistan, and was later confirmed to have been captured by insurgents.

(Bergdahl was released on May 31, 2014 in exchange for five Taliban detainees.)

Five years ago: A sharply divided Supreme Court ruled that some companies with religious objections could avoid the contraceptives requirement in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, the first time the high court declared that businesses can hold religious views under federal law. President Obama tapped former Procter & Gamble CEO Robert McDonald to take over the troubled Veterans Affairs Department. The Israeli military found the bodies of three missing teenagers just over two weeks after they were abducted in the occupied West Bank, allegedly by Hamas militants. Writer, actor, producer and director Paul Mazursky, 84, died in Los Angeles. Actor Bob Hastings, 89, died in Burbank, California.

One year ago: Hundreds of thousands of people gathered for rallies and marches in hundreds of locations around the country, demanding an end to the separation of immigrant families who cross into the United States.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Lea Massari is 86. Actress Nancy Dussault is 83. Songwriter Tony Hatch is 80. Singer Glenn Shorrock is 75. Actor Leonard Whiting is 69. Jazz musician Stanley Clarke is 68.

Actor David Garrison is 67. Rock musician Hal Lindes (Dire Straits) is 66. Actor-comedian David Alan Grier is 63. Actor Vincent D’Onofrio is 60. Actress Deirdre Lovejoy is 57. Actor Rupert Graves is 56. Former boxer Mike Tyson is 53. Actor Peter Outerbridge is 53. Rock musician Tom Drummond (Better Than Ezra) is 50. Actor-comedian Tony Rock (TV: “Living Biblically”) is 50. Actor Brian Bloom is 49. Actor Brian Vincent is 49. Actress Monica Potter is 48. Actress Molly Parker is 47. Actor Rick Gonzalez is 40. Actor Tom Burke is 38. Actress Lizzy Caplan is 37. Actress Susannah Flood is 37. Rock musician James Adam Shelley (American Authors) is 36. Country singer Cole Swindell is 36. Rhythm and blues singer Fantasia is 35. Olympic gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps is 34. Actor Sean Marquette (TV: “The Goldbergs”) is 31.

Thought for Today: “In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism.” -- Hannah Arendt, German-born American philosopher and historian (1906-1975).

Twins run unbeaten string to 10 Staff report Peninsula Clarion

The American Legion Post 20 Twins pushed their unbeaten streak to 10 on Friday in Kodiak.

The Twins won the league contest 9-6 before playing to a 4-all draw in the nonleague contest. The Twins are now 6-2 in the league and 10-4-1 overall. The Twins have shot up into third place in the American Division, while Kodiak is sixth in

that division at 2-6.

In Friday’s league game, the Twins, who were the home team on the scoreboard, fired up their bats in the second and third innings to secure the victory.

Post 20 entered the bottom of the second trailing 3-0, but tied the game in the bottom of the second.

Six runs in the third would be all the club needed.

Mose Hayes pitched one inning for the Twins, yielding two runs on a hit while walking four and

sitting down two. Harrison Metz pitched the last six, giving up four runs — three earned — on four hits while walking three and striking out four.

At the plate, the Twins were able to squeeze their nine runs out of eight hits. Tanner Ussing was 2 for 3, while Metz was 2 for 3 with a run and two RBIs. Jeremy Kupferschmid, David Michael, Mose Hayes and Seth Adkins also had hits. Kupferschmid and Hayes each had a pair of RBIs, while

Jacob Belger and Harold Ochea scored two runs.

The nonleague tie saw the Twins use four pitchers. Kupferschmid worked two innings and gave up two runs and two hits, Adkins worked two innings and gave up one run and two hits, Ussing worked 1 2-3 innings and gave up a run and a hit, and Davey Belger worked 1 1-3 innings and gave up no runs and no hits.

At the plate, Hayes was 2 for 4 with two runs, Michael was 2 for

4 with a run and an RBI, Adkins had a run, Ochea was 1 for 2 with two RBIs, Ussing had a hit and an RBI, and Davey Belger had a hit.

The Twins are back in action Tuesday with a full slate of games at Coral Seymour Memorial Park on the opening day of the Bill Miller Wood Bat Invitational.

Rhode Island plays Ohio at 10 a.m., Eagle River plays Post 20 at 1 p.m., Eagle River plays Ohio at 4 p.m. and Rhode Island plays Post 20 at 7 p.m.

Oilers drop 2 to Glacier Pilots

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

In a one-run game with the tying man 90 feet away, the Peninsula Oilers couldn’t find a way to bring him home in what was a microcosm of the their night.

The Oilers left the bases loaded in the ninth inning to fall 5-4 Friday night to the Anchorage Glacier Pilots at Coral Seymour Memorial Park. The Oilers lost 9-5 Saturday to the Pilots, sending the Oilers to their fifth straight loss. The Oilers (7-15) have now lost nine of the last 11 Alaska Baseball League contests to drop eight games behind the league-leading Anchorage Bucs (15-7).

Saturday, the Oilers had 11 hits to the 13 of the Pilots, but Peninsula pitchers issued eight costly walks.

Overall, the Oilers stranded 11 total men on base Friday, including every inning but one. Oilers head coach Kyle Brown pinned it on lack of offensive execution in the clutch.

“We left multiple guys on base, multiple guys in scoring position,” Brown said.

“We just can’t seem to get that knock. We can get on base, we can hit the ball, but pushing them across home plate and getting a run, it’s not happening right now.”

The Pilots (11-9) won even with five errors on the night, leaving head coach Jeff Pritchard surprised after thrashing the Oilers 15-6 the previous night.

“I have a checklist as a coach in my mind, you have to come back and win a game like we did last night,” Pritchard said. “And sometimes you have to win a game when you don’t play well.

“I tell these guys, wins are like your children — you have to love them even if they’re ugly.”

Hunter Rigsby, who hasn’t allowed a single earned run in over 16 innings of relief this summer, came on to get the last four outs for the Pilots and escaped the bottom of the ninth after giving up a hit and two walks, one intentional.

“Those are free runs that we are not manufacturing right now,” Brown said.

“Pitching staff did their part tonight, kept us in the ballgame and gave us a chance to win, but the offense didn’t execute.”

The Oilers loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth, with the tying run 90 feet away and the winning run in scoring position, but a fly ball to center field by pinch-hitter Giancarlo Servin ended it and gave the Pilots a huge sigh of relief.

Prior to the last out, Calvin Farris was intentionally walked to load the bases after working a 3-1 count against Rigsby, but on the last throw home to send Farris to first, the Oilers dugout called for a balk on Rigsby, who they believe didn’t reach his set on the See OILERS, page B4

Vasquez lets bat do talking

By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Don’t expect to hear much out of Camden Vasquez. His bat does all the talking for him.

Vasquez, a 19-year-old Arizona native who is playing his first summer with the Peninsula Oilers, is one of the hottest hitters this year in the Alaska Baseball League. The slugger currently leads the Alaska Baseball League in

hitting with a .417 average and gets on base more than half the time at .522.

Oilers head coach Kyle Brown said the team added Vasquez on the advice of San Diego head coach Rich Hill, with whom Brown enjoys a good relationship.

“He said you’ll love him,” Brown said, listing off his outfielder’s attributes like a checklist.

Great two-out hitter, great contact hitter, has a great two-strike approach

and a short and simple swing. Pitch recognition is “off the charts,” and he has good bat control.

“Oh and by the way, he’s got incredible speed,” Brown said last.

Vasquez’s speed was on full display Thursday when he grounded a ball to Anchorage Glacier Pilots’ shortstop Zach Sehgal, who bobbled the ball attempting to throw to first and ended up throwing it into the bullpen.

Smoke can’t stop Spit Run

By MEGAN PACER Homer News

Smoke drifting over from the Swan Lake Fire near Sterling obscured the normally picturesque view of Kachemak Bay that local runners have come to expect, but that didn’t stop a horde of athletes from enjoying this year’s Spit Run on Saturday.

The 10K to the Bay and Cosmic Half Marathon saw a total of 152 participants.

New this year, there were also 14 people who signed up for the untimed 10K walk, which they could start at any time.

Christopher Walker of Anchorage cruised to first place in the half marathon in 1 hour, 34 minutes and 50 seconds. He was followed by the first woman to cross the finish line in the half marathon, Homer’s Stacey Buckelew, with a time of 1:40:45.

Christopher Gardeline of Anchorage and Homer’s Mike Illg rounded out second and third place for the men in the half marathon, with times of 1:50:48 and 1:54:16, respectively. For the women, Homer runners dominated the half marathon, with Elizabeth Roedl taking second place in

1:45:26 and Kristen Buckwalter in third with a time of 1:47:02.

In the 10K that ran from Homer High School down to the end of the Spit, Kristyn Turney and her husband, Taylor, both of Anchorage, were the first man and woman across the finish line.

Taylor Turney completed the 10K course in 38:43 while towing their 1 1/2-year-old son Levi behind him, while Kristyn Turney nabbed first place for the women with a time of 44:12, just three seconds ahead of the second place woman finisher, MelaSee SPIT, page B2

Rapinoe makes her mark on World Cup

By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer

PARIS — With a colorful vocabulary and manner to match her pinkish-purple hair, Megan Rapinoe stands out simply by being Megan Rapinoe.

She celebrated her two goals in the quarterfinal match against France at the Women’s World Cup by raising both arms in victory, reminiscent of Russell Crowe in “Gladiator.” Are you not entertained? She spawned many memes in the process.

“She’s just a big personality both on and off the pitch,” coach Jill Ellis said.

“And I think she honestly thrives in these moments.”

In securing the 2-1 victory that knocked the hosts out of the tournament, the United States now moves on to a semifinal match against England on Tuesday in Lyon.

If they can get past the Lionesses, the Americans will get a shot at their second straight World Cup title and fourth overall in a July 7 final.

From a high-profile battle with U.S. Soccer over equal pay back home, to the exuberant celebration of every goal in the 13-0 tournament opener against Thailand, the U.S. team is unapologetically brash and confident.

If anyone embodies the U.S. ethos, it’s Rapinoe.

She has five goals in this World Cup, tying her with teammate Alex Morgan, England’s Ellen White and Australia’s Sam Kerr for the tournament lead. She is the first player to score two goals in back-to-back games since Brazil’s Marta in 2007: Rapinoe also scored twice in a 2-1 victory over Spain to open the round of 16.

And sometimes she gets just as much attention for

Swedes, Dutch move on

By The Associated Press

RENNES, France — With Germany out of the way, Sweden believes it could win it all.

Stina Blackstenius scored the go-ahead goal just minutes into the second half and Sweden surprised Germany with a 2-1 quarterfinal victory Saturday night at the Women’s World Cup. It was Sweden’s first victory over Germany in a major tournament in 24 years, and it sent the ninth-ranked Swedes into the semifinals against the Netherlands.

“We’re going to go for it,” Sweden coach Peter Gerhardsson said.

The second-ranked Germans, who won back-to-back World Cup titles in 2003 and 2007, were the presumptive favorites on their side of the bracket. Instead, they’ll head home.

Germany coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg said her team seemed to lose focus.

“We knew it was going to be difficult,” she said. “We shall not let this bring us down. We have to make sure this process goes on despite the defeat, to keep on growing, to gain strength and channel this negative experience into something positive and to learn our lessons from it.”

The eighth-ranked Dutch defeated Italy 2-0 earlier Saturday, setting up the semifinal Wednesday in Lyon. The United States plays England in the other semifinal on Tuesday. The final is July 7.

Netherlands 2, Italy 0 VALENCIENNES, France — The Oranje procession will roll into a Women’s World Cup semifinal for the first time.

The parade of fans, covered head to toe in orange, the brass band — and, of course, the free kick specialists on the field.

In the sweltering afternoon heat of northeast France, the Netherlands relied on a pair of headers off free kicks by Sherida Spitse to beat Italy 2-0 in a quarterfinal game Saturday.

Vivianne Miedema scored off Spitse’s delivery from the left side in the 70th minute to claim her 61st goal in 80 appearances for the Netherlands.

“In the end, people expect me to score goals,” Miedema said. “That header, I had a good feeling.”

So did Stefanie van der Gragt 10 minutes later, powering in a towering header when Spitse swung in a free kick from the right.

“I had the strength to get the ball in the right place,” Spitse said. “Our football, we could also play a little bit more and could score goals but it’s nice to score from set pieces as well.”

Six of the last eight goals have come from set pieces at this World Cup, only the second time the Dutch women have appeared in the tournament.

Four years ago, they only made it to the round of 16 but laid the foundations to win the European Championship in 2017.

“I didn’t expect to be in the semifinals of this World Cup,” Miedema said. “We’ve been complaining that we’re not playing the best football but in the end we’re in the semis. We’ve done amazing and we can be really proud.”

what she does away from the game.

Rapinoe was at the center of a controversy in the days leading up to what was called Le Grand Match when video surfaced of her saying she wouldn’t visit the White House if the team won the World Cup — and dropping in an expletive for emphasis.

While the interview was from January, it attracted President Donald Trump’s attention and he tweeted: “Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team.” Trump added that he would invite the team to Washington, win or lose.

Rapinoe said she stood by the statement, with the exception of her coarse language. Then she went out and scored five minutes into the game against France.

“You can hear it in her comments and how she presents herself. She’s a very experienced, eloquent person.

I would just kind of point to the performance tonight and I’d say if anything this stuff just bounces off her, I think it even pushes her forward,” Ellis said afterward.

Rapinoe has always been unafraid to speak her mind.

She came out as gay in 2012 and is currently in a relationship with WNBA star Sue Bird. Rapinoe even joked about it following Friday night’s victory, when asked if it had more meaning because this is Pride Month.

“You can’t win a championship without gays on your team, it’s pretty much never been done before, ever,” she said. “Science right there.”

Rapinoe has been particularly vocal about equitable pay and the treatment of female athletes, while also criti-

cal of FIFA for not investing more in the women’s game.

She has pointed to the disparity in the prize money for the men’s and women’s World Cups. France, the men’s winner in Russia, was awarded $38 million, while the winner of the women’s tournament will take home just $4 million.

Two years ago, Rapinoe was in the news for kneeling during the national anthem. She said it was an act of solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who knelt during the anthem to call attention to racial inequality.

U.S. Soccer responded by adopting a rule that says players must stand for anthems. She said she’d abide by it, but in France she has not sung the anthem or put her hand on her heart while it plays before each game.

Oh, and she can play, too.

Rapinoe won an NCAA title with the University of Portland in 2005 and made her senior national team debut the next year. She played in all six U.S. games at the 2011 World Cup in Germany, memorably picking up a microphone after a goal and singing Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” One of her biggest moments as a player came in that tournament, when her perfect cross to Abby Wambach led to the tying goal in the quarterfinals against Brazil. The Americans advanced on penalties.

She also has an Olympic gold medal from the 2012 London Games, where she scored directly from a corner kick in the semifinals against Canada. She is the only player — male or female — to have such a goal in Olympic competition.

“That is his speed getting into the internal clock mechanism of the defense, where they recognize his speed and they try to speed up themselves,” Brown said. “You have a kid hitting .400 and you add in he runs a sub-four (seconds) down the line? It’s going to put some pressure on the defense.”

The 2018 graduate of Campo Verde High School in Gilbert, Arizona, said his wheels are something he relies on, but can’t pinpoint where it started.

“I don’t know where my speed came from,” Vasquez said, adding that his main goal each time he comes up to bat is to be a tough out.

“Whether that’s beating a chopper out or getting walked or hitting a line drive, or even reaching on an error,” he said.

Vasquez began the summer with the Oilers on an 11-game hitting streak, which pushed him to an early stat line of .487 batting and 1.144 OPS. He said his plate approach is simple.

“I don’t like to think of it like a chunk of games, I just try to take it one at-bat at a time,” Vasquez said.

“Just stick to the approach I was taught at school.”

Fellow Oilers teammate and California native Jonathan Carlos said Vasquez’s attitude makes it easy to get along with him, but dangerous to face him on the mound.

“He’s a good guy, very humble,” Carlos said. “He’s funny, he’s very loose, doesn’t think too much when he plays baseball, he goes out there, has fun.”

The son of Tim and Julie Camden is living this summer with host family Jessica and Robbie Small of Kenai, and tracked his easygoing demeanor to his childhood growing up near Phoenix, where he often spent summers

swimming at the local pool, taking day trips to hiking spots north of Phoenix and taking in baseball and football games at Arizona State and watching Arizona Diamondbacks baseball.

His days as a wide receiver in high school were numbered after injuries cost him time in both his sophomore and junior seasons.

Vasquez said baseball provided more opportunity for him in college, even though football was where his passion lay, so it was off to play summer ball in 2018, getting time with the Gresham (Oregon) GreyWolves in the West Coast League, which the club has since left to become an independent team.

Vasquez just wrapped up his first year at the University of San Diego, but never saw a pitch due to a foot injury that kept him out.

Vasquez ended up redshirting his first year, but was healed up and ready for the summer season with the Oilers.

Vasquez said he does not know

how the injury occurred — he was diagnosed with two broken toes — just days before the college season was set to begin, but said the time off didn’t mean he was getting a free vacation.

“For me, it was more about learning as much as I could,” he said.

Vasquez said he spent innings at SDU taking notes and soaking in as much knowledge watching his team play.

“It was good for me to learn pitchers’ sequences and learn from the guys around me that are great players,” he said. “I just took it as an opportunity to just soak it up.”

Carlos played against Vasquez’s USD team as a member of Long Beach State, although the two never squared off individually due to Vasquez’s injury.

As a pitcher, Carlos said he asks Vasquez about what hitters look for in certain counts, and Vasquez’s advice has helped Carlos in his own game.

Plus, he provides a stellar support system.

“When I’m pitching, he always comes in and smacks me on the (butt), tells me whenever I’m (messing) up,” Carlos said. “He’s a great teammate.

He plays hard, that’s what I like about him.”

Brown said after hearing good things about Vasquez from Hill, the decision to bring in a player that was motivated to return to the field was a no-brainer.

“I think he showed up here with a drive to play, with a statement to make,” Brown said. “He got an opportunity up here and he’s made the most of it in every facet to this point.”

Even as his position in the batting lineup has had to change due to a hand injury to leadoff hitter Damon Keith, Vasquez hasn’t flinched under the circumstances.

The move pushed Vasquez to Keith’s spot as leadoff man.

“He hasn’t missed a beat,” Brown said.

Yankees top Red Sox in London slugfest

By The Associated Press

LONDON — Brett Gardner hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the third inning, Aaron Judge went deep to cap a six-run fourth and the New York Yankees outslugged the Boston Red Sox 17-13 on Saturday night in the first Major League Baseball game played in Europe.

Each team scored six runs in a first inning that stretched nearly an hour.

Aaron Hicks hit the first European homer, DJ LeMahieu had four hits and five RBIs as New York opened a 17-6 lead and Luke Voit had four hits, including three doubles, before leaving with an injury in the fifth inning.

Rookie Michael Chavis hit a pair of three-run homers for Boston and Jackie Bradley Jr. had four hits, also going deep.

Boston starter Rick Porcello and New York’s Masahiro Tanaka both failed to finish the first inning.

Chad Green (2-2) allowed four hits in two scoreless innings. Steven Wright (0-1) lost in his first decision and second appearance since an 80-game suspension for a positive drug test.

ROCKIES 5, DODGERS 3 DENVER — Jon Gray pitched effectively into the seventh inning and Charlie Blackmon homered to lead Colorado past Los Angeles.

Gray (9-5) allowed three runs, two earned, and struck out eight over 6 2/3 innings. He outdueled Los Angeles lefty Clayton Kershaw (7-2), who gave up five runs, four earned, struck out seven and didn’t walk a batter.

Alex Verdugo had two hits and Edwin Rios got his first major league hit and drove in a run for the Dodgers.

Scuffling closer Wade Davis got three outs for his 12th save in 14 chances.

BRAVES 5, METS 4 NEW YORK — Nick Markakis and Austin Riley hit consecutive solo homers to give Atlanta the lead in the eighth inning, and the Braves spoiled the New York’s celebration of the 1969 World Series champion Mets.

Braves closer Luke Jackson stranded runners at second and third in the ninth for his 13th save, handing New York its seventh straight loss.

Sean Newcomb (2-0) tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings. Jackson worked around an error by first baseman Freddie Freeman and a walk, ending it by striking out Dominic Smith on three pitches.

Ronald Acuña Jr. and Dansby Swanson each had three hits for NL East-leading Atlanta.

Struggling reliever Seth Lugo (3-2) worked 1 2/3 innings and allowed four hits and two earned runs with three strikeouts.

ORIOLES 13, INDIANS 0 BALTIMORE — Andrew Cashner threw seven innings of three-hit ball, Renato Núñez had two of Baltimore’s four home runs and the Orioles clinched their first series win since April.

Anthony Santander hit the 100th home run, and 45th by an Oriole, to land on Eutaw Street since the stadium opened on April 6, 1992.

Chance Sisco also homered for Baltimore, which has outscored Cleveland 26-0 over the first two games. The Orioles will go for their first threegame sweep of the season Sunday.

Cashner (8-3) was scratched moments before the first pitch as thunderstorms passed through the area. When the start of the game was announced for 5:10 p.m. -- an hour and six minutes delay -- Cashner was renamed the starter. He finished with six strikeouts and one walk.

The Orioles earned backto-back shutouts for the first time since June 28, 2015, also against Cleveland in a doubleheader.

Trey Mancini had three hits and drove in three runs for the Orioles. Núñez tied a careerhigh with four RBIs.

BLUE JAYS 7, ROYALS 5 TORONTO — Danny Jansen hit a game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, Cavan Biggio hit his first career grand slam and Toronto beat Kansas City.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added a solo home run for the Blue Jays, who recovered after blowing a one-run lead in the top of the ninth.

Toronto gave right-hander

Daniel Hudson (5-2) his third save opportunity of the season.

Marcus Stroman exited in the fifth with a cramp in his non-pitching shoulder. He allowed three runs and four hits in four-plus innings.

Scott Barlow (2-3) took the loss.

TIGERS 7, NATIONALS 5 DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera had three hits and three RBIs as Detroit rallied twice and snapped an eight-game losing streak with a win over Washington.

The Tigers rebounded from a three-run deficit in the fourth inning and erased a two-run deficit in the seventh when Niko Goodrum singled to cap a three-run rally.

Shane Greene worked the ninth and earned his 22nd save in 23 chances. The Tigers won for just the third time in 24 games at Comerica Park.

Anthony Rendon included a homer among his three hits for the Nationals, who had a fourgame winning streak halted.

RAYS 5, RANGERS 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Brendan McKay took a perfect game into the sixth inning of his major league debut and Tampa Bay beat Texas.

McKay (1-0) didn’t allow a baserunner until Danny Santana flared an opposite-field single to right with one out in the sixth. The lefty allowed one hit, a walk and struck out three in six innings. Three relievers completed a five-hitter.

Avisail Garcia homered for the Rays, who won for the fourth time in 12 games. Willy Adames and Travis d’Arnaud hit consecutive homers in the seventh.

CUBS 6, REDS 0 CINCINNATI — Javier Baez hit his first grand slam of the season, and Jose Quintana went six innings for his first victory since May 5, leading Chicago over Cincinnati.

Garrett Cooper added two hits and two RBIs.

TWINS 10, WHITE SOX 3 CHICAGO — Nelson Cruz and Max Kepler each hit two home runs, Miguel Sano went deep, and Michael Pineda threw six solid innings to lead Minnesota past Chicago.

Cruz hit a pair of two-run homers, connecting against Ivan Nova (3-7) in the first and launching a 469-foot shot off Jose Ruiz in the ninth. That gave him three multihomer games this season and 30 in his career. He also doubled and singled.

NASCAR returns to site of dramatic finish

By JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

JOLIET, Ill. — When Kyle Busch looks back on last year’s dramatic finish at Chicagoland Speedway, nothing in particular stands out to him.

He remembers every little detail.

Moving into the lead. Getting slowed by lapped cars at the back of the field. Winning a last-lap duel with Kyle Larson.

“It was an iconic finish, a very, I’d say, dynamic finish, that just will be known and recognized for a long time,” Busch said.

NASCAR would love to see a similar show when the Cup Series returns to the bumpy 1.5-mile oval on Sunday. But the frantic final seconds of last year’s race have been more of the exception than the norm for its top series,

so much so that NASCAR overhauled its competition package in an effort to create more drama this season.

With the new rules in place and more warm weather in the forecast at a track that has room for drivers to move around, the potential is there for another memorable finish at the suburban raceway.

“I think it definitely sets up as a good track for a finish like that,” said Martin Truex Jr., a two-time winner at Chicagoland. “There is multiple grooves and the package this year has done what they wanted and expected. It has brought us all closer together. It is going to be hot and slick tomorrow. That will help us put on a good race. We will just have to see how it plays out with this package.”

Busch was in front with about 40 laps to go last year when a hardcharging Larson started making

his way through the field. Larson brushed up against the wall with seven laps remaining, but he kept going and Busch had some trouble with a couple of lapped cars.

Busch and Larson then raced each other hard on the final lap.

Larson bumped into the back of Busch’s car and moved into the lead. Busch then raced into the back of Larson’s car and sped ahead for the victory.

“He got into my quarter panel and put me in the wall and then after that, it was gloves off,” Busch said. “We were on after that.”

Larson gave Busch a thumb’s up as he celebrated the win. A year later, Larson felt the same way about the final lap.

“I made the initial contact, so I mean I can’t be upset with what happens at the other end of the race track,” he said. “I always feel like I can race Kyle hard. I’m sure

it will be the same for the rest of our careers together.”

Busch’s victory after qualifying 16th last year continued a familiar pattern. Chicagoland has the highest average start for race winners among active Cup Series tracks at 14.94, easily clearing New Hampshire in second with a 12.23 average start, according to Racing Insights.

“Sometimes the cars that don’t qualify very well have better race setups,” said Joey Logano, who qualified 19th. “They have something that’s going to make the tires last longer, and that could be the reason why you see that, is this track wears tires out a lot.”

Logano’s lead in the series standings was trimmed to one over Busch after the Penske driver finished 23rd last weekend in California. Truex won on the hilly road

course at Sonoma, and Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Busch was the runner-up.

Team Penske and JGR have dominated so far this season, and there is no reason to believe that trend will slow down this weekend. Busch, Truex and Denny Hamlin have combined to take the last four races at Chicagoland in Toyotas, and Penske’s Brad Keselowski won at the track in 2012 and 2014.

If it comes down to the very end again, well, that’s just fine with Busch.

“It’s a shame that we don’t have finishes like that each and every week,” he said. “We’d have people waiting in line for grandstand tickets if we did, but it only comes along once every so often.

Hopefully we can continue to put on good races like that on though.”

fourth ball. That led to Oilers bench coach Larry McCann getting ejected by the first-base umpire for arguing the noncall.

Brown said from his third-base post, he didn’t discern Rigsby coming to a stop or not, and was more interested in keeping the two-out rally going from the plate.

“It’s got to be pretty blatant for an umpire to

call that,” he said.

Pritchard said after getting their road trip off to a great start Thursday, the Pilots got lucky with Friday’s game.

“This game does not allow you to be careless about any details,” he said.

“Now you can get away with being lucky, but you can’t get away with being careless, so you can pick which category that falls under.”

Alameda, California, native Bryan Woo started strong for the Oilers, mowing down Pilots batters

with seven strikeouts in four innings of work, but gave up three runs on five hits and three walks.

Drew Thorpe whiffed five in four innings of relief, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks, while Farris pitched a pristine top of the ninth with one strikeout.

Anchorage’s Logan Freeman gave up just two earned runs in five innings, scattering five hits and two walks with two strikeouts.

Connor McCord helped the Oilers’ offensive woes early with a first-inning

homer that barely cleared the left field fence and the foul pole.

Anchorage’s Matt Ottino continued haunting the Oilers with a two-run single lined to right field in the second inning to tie the game at 2-2.

Later, Mackay helped Peninsula’s cause with a slick strike-out, throw-out

double play on a throw to first.

Alex Baeza put the Pilots ahead 3-2 in the fourth on an RBI single lofted to left field, but Jonathan Villa retorted in the bottom of the fifth with a sacrifice fly to knot it up again at 3-all.

Four consecutive base hits off Thorpe to lead off the sixth inning led to two

Anchorage runs, with RBI singles by Mendazano and Zach Sehgal providing the scoring punches for a 5-3 Pilots lead.

Mackay got a run back on a sac fly in the bottom of the frame.

The Oilers finish off their five-game series with the Pilots today at 2 p.m. and Monday at 6 p.m.

Serena says she’s ready for Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — It’s hard to know exactly what Serena Williams will be able to do over the next two weeks at the All England Club.

On the one hand, due at least in part to an injured left knee, Williams is short on matches and

training time this season, factors she cited after her third-round exit June 1 at the French Open, her most recent tournament.

She has only 12 tour-level matches so far in 2019.

Just four of the other 127 women in the Wimbledon field have fewer; 105 have

at least twice as many.

Even Saturday — when she declared she’s “feeling better” and her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, said the 37-year-old American “doesn’t have pain anymore” — Williams let out a chuckle when she proclaimed, “I’ve had a good

SERVING THE KENAI PENINSULA SINCE 1979

week and a half.”

Hardly the ideal amount of practice to try to get ready for Grand Slam competition.

And yet, on the other hand, as Williams put it with a wry smile, “I know how to play tennis.”

Yes. Yes, she does.

This is, after all, a seventime champion and threetime runner-up, including

last year, on the grass at Wimbledon, where play begins Monday. She also is the owner of 23 Grand Slam singles trophies in all, more than anyone else in the professional era and one shy of equaling Margaret Court’s record for the most in tennis history.

“She didn’t do anything, really, like what she usually does, in terms of results

this year. Even in Australia, she lost quite early for her, the quarters. So she hasn’t played her best,” Mouratoglou said, before uttering a single sentence that speaks volumes: “But she’s Serena.”

“And,” he added in an interview, “the weapons she has are probably even more efficient on grass than on any other surface.”

All-green woodland gardens can provide serenity All-green gardens are becoming popular again as the centerpieces of monochromatic landscaping. The designs are appealing and restive, driven as they are by massed ferns, moss, leaves, bark, berries, rock and foliage combinations. They serve some practical purposes, too.

“Cool, mossy and damp, small space woodland gardens bring a welcome sense of organic Zen and a respite from digital overload, especially in dense urban areas where they can help to mitigate the effects of pollution,” said Elka Karl, a spokeswoman for Monrovia Nursery Co., based in Azuza, California.

“It’s like bringing ‘forest bathing’ to the city with mixes of ferns, mosses, coral bells, hostas and anemones in high-contrast, almost unnatural places for a garden style that’s gaining ground,” Karl said.

She said the company has seen a marked increase in consumer demand for all types of woodland plants over the last three years.

One of the best attributes of plants with green foliage is that they’re the chameleons of the garden, said Kate Karam, Monrovia’s editorial director.

“A holly, for example, can be left to grow into its natural form for a more woodland look or can be sheared into a tight shape suitable for a formal garden,” Karam said.

Green gardens don’t have to be exclusively green, although foliage dominates.

“Even the greenest of green gardens will likely have something that flowers, such as plants that bloom but are chosen for the foliage,” Karam said. “Grasses, spurges and hostas are good examples. Yes, they flower, but most of us don’t really grow them for that benefit.”

There aren’t many “green flowers” in nature, but varieties like Nicotiana langsdorffii, euphorbia and Green Envy zinnia, among others, can be layered into the foliage, said Karen Chapman, a garden designer and co-author, with Christina Salwitz, of “Gardening With Foliage First” (Timber Press, 2017).

Chapman said the monochromatic palette “can be adapted to create a richly textured, shaded woodland border with a framework of Japanese maples, feathery ferns and bold hosta, or a more traditional design of clipped boxwood hedges and architectural conifers.”

People today are often pinched for time and less able to tend flower gardens, Monrovia’s Karam said.

“They turn to hardworking evergreen or seasonally green plants, especially hedges and shrubs, to give the biggest bang and the longest show,” she said. “Plants like conifers, boxwoods, grasses, laurels, hollies, ferns, rhododendrons, drimys, aralia, green-leafed Japanese maples are some of our bestsellers.”

When designing all-green gardens, consider a blend of texture, form and coloration.

Foliage varies in texture from rough to smooth, glossy to lustreless. Shapes and sizes range from plants with huge round leaves to grasses with long feathery blades.

Seek complementary colours. Japanese painted ferns, for example, display attractive blue-green fronds with contrasting deep red ribs and silver edging.

“I would say the benefit for many homeowners would be the opportunity to create an urban oasis a meditative space where the distractions of life are minimized and one can quietly re-focus,” Chapman said.

“An all-green-garden would be an excellent environment in which to practice yoga or mindfulness.”

As online shopping becomes ubiquitous, so do the boxes delivered to homes across the country.

For apartment dwellers — and the managers of the buildings they live in — it’s tough to manage the boxes that pile up, sometimes clogging precious space for days. (If not watched, packages also can be stolen or left out in the rain.)

The problem’s only getting worse, says Rick Haughey, vice president of the non-profit National Multifamily Housing Council, which represents many owners, developers and managers of apartment housing. People are ordering more heavy, oversize and perishable items than ever before, he notes, and building managers are “tasked with finding new and creative ways to meet the demand for package storage, sorting and security.”

The problem is especially acute around the holidays, but continues all year.

“Now, you’ve got a lot of perishables coming in.

And things like tires can be ordered online at discount prices. That means four tires are sitting in the leasing office, along with items like flat-pack furniture and even bed mattresses,” Haughey says. “They might be there for days or potentially weeks if you’re away on vacation. There doesn’t seem to be perfect solution, but locker systems and delivery hubs come close.”

There are a growing number of technologies and services aimed at alleviating the delivery problem in apartment foyers.

UPS, FedEx and Amazon all have begun offering services to help manage the flow of delivery boxes.

The Amazon Hub program, for example, includes Amazon Locker, based at third-party locations like Whole Foods; Locker+, with staffed locations for pickups and dropoffs; and Apartment Locker, which accepts Amazon and nonAmazon packages in apartment buildings, among other services.

Luxer One, a company based in Sacramento, California, provides secure lockers in buildings in the

United States and Canada that can be accessed by both delivery companies and residents — including compartments for very large boxes and refrigerated lockers for perishables.

The lockers can be placed inside or outside apartment buildings, and are accessible using codes.

“It’s a huge issue for a lot of apartment buildings.

There’s a security factor, but also a convenience factor. Building management offices aren’t open as late as some residents need them to be in order to retrieve packages, and in some cases, just accepting a building’s packages can easily become a fulltime job,” says Melody Akhtari, spokeswoman for Luxer One, which started out in 2005 with lockers in apartment buildings for dry cleaning.

“A couple years in, a few buildings asked us if we could do something to help with all the boxes that were being delivered. In 2013, we launched across the United States and Canada, and our lockers are now in over 3,500 locations,” she says.

Along with smart lockers, there are services that arrange deliveries for a specific time when residents know they’ll be home; or let recipients have packages delivered to secure hubs or other locations that are conveniently located and open late.

“The challenge is that in an apartment building with, say, 400 units, you have FedEx, UPS and USPS all stopping by at multiple times of the day to make deliveries. And these are not just small standard packages. One person might be receiving a Casper mattress and another might be receiving a box of flowers

that needs refrigeration,” says Akhtari.

But such locker systems can be pricey, and in buildings without them, residents can use services offered either by the shipper or by some retailers. Jet. com, for example, which is owned by Walmart, has installed lockers in hundreds of New York apartment buildings.

There’s also a service called Fetch (www.fetchpackage.com), which collects packages, stores them offsite and delivers them when the recipient is home, taking the burden off building managers.

In some cases, buildings have converted space into package storage rooms and hired additional staff to deal with deliveries. In other cases, they have decided not to accept packages at all, so residents must rely on one of the outside services.

“Managing deliveries can be especially challenging in high package volume markets like New York, Washington, D.C., and Chicago,” says John Falco, principal at Kingsley Associates which, with the National Multifamily Housing Council, published a report on the issue. “In higherdensity, urban areas, space is often at a premium, so package storage solutions are important.”

And the challenge doesn’t end at delivery and storage. Once the boxes are opened, some are shipped back as returns, while others create a trash or recycling headache. According to the report, issued in November 2018, over 40 percent of respondents said the large volumes of cardboard and packaging materials being disposed of have created a waste management challenge.

Making the most of your limited living space Downsizing with regard to living space is a trend that has long been associated with empty nesters and senior citizens. As children move out and start families of their own, many homeowners decide to downsize to less expensive, more manageable properties.

But downsizing is not just for seniors anymore. According to a 2017 survey from the popular real estate website Trulia, among homeowners currently living in homes larger than 2,000 square feet, more would choose a smaller home than a larger one if they decided to move this year (60.6 percent to 39.4 percent).

Homeowners who decided to downsize or those who purchased a small property to begin with may need a few pointers to make the most of their limited space.

• Reconsider your furniture. Furniture can make rooms feel cozy, cramped or spacious. For homeowners with limited space in their homes, furniture that also can be used as storage can save space without sacrificing comfort. For the bedroom, choose a storage bed if the quarters are cramped and it’s difficult to find space for two dressers. Such beds also can be used to store bed linens if closet space is limited.

Purchase storage ottomans and/or end tables with storage beneath to make living areas feel less cramped.

• Discard some items.

Homeowners who are downsizing from large homes may need to part with some of their furniture to make their transition to smaller homes go more smoothly. For example, homeowners may

need to get by with just one bedroom nightstand and may even need to replace their existing nightstands with something more compact.

Discarding living room end tables and downsizing to a smaller coffee table also can help homeowners make smaller common areas more welcoming and less cluttered.

• Put paint to work. Paint is another way to make the most of a limited space.

Painting certain pieces of furniture the same color as the wall can make the furniture blend in and feel less imposing. The result is a room that feels calm and open, even if there is less space to move around than homeowners might have grown accustomed to in their larger homes.

• Keep surfaces free of

clutter. Surfaces such as dining tables, coffee tables and kitchen counters tend to accumulate clutter. While such clutter might not feel overwhelming in a large home, in small spaces crowded

surfaces can make it feel as though the walls are closing in. Make an effort to keep surfaces free of clutter, resolving to discard or put items away each night before going to bed.

Many people wish they could live in homes without as much square footage as their existing homes. For those who have downsized, there are many ways to make the most of less living space.

5 dishes every new graduate should learn how to make

By Katie Workman The Associated Press

So your kid is going out into the world. Flying the coop. Time for them to learn how to cook.

Maybe, just maybe, you didn’t do as good a job as you’d planned teaching them their way around the kitchen (cough — me too, despite what one might think). And just maybe you’d like to give them a little help before they are standing in front of an empty fridge with a frying pan in their hand and a blank expression on their face.

Here are 5 basic dishes that should give anyone a head start in the kitchen, including options for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

These are talked-through recipes, without specific quantities, just to get the ball rolling. If you are working to help your kid get more comfortable in the kitchen, you may want to use these as guidelines, and print out or copy some family favourite versions or other simple recipes.

1. MIGAS Many cooks feel that knowing how to make an omelet is a baseline kitchen skill, but that might feel a bit fussy to a young person just starting out. Scrambled eggs are good to know too, but let’s go one step more interesting.

Migas is a flexible, madcap egg scramble, with roots in Spanish, Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking (depending on who you ask), and it’s easy and satisfying.

You essentially saute up some vegetables, like peppers and onions, and maybe add some crumbled chorizo or other sausage. Then add beaten eggs and crushed tortilla chips, and stir the whole thing up in a skillet until the eggs are cooked and the tortilla chips have softened slightly into the mixture.

Finish with some cheese and maybe salsa, sour cream or other toppings, and you have the kind of breakfast (or lunch or dinner) that will make a whole lot of people a whole lot of happy.

2. ROAST CHICKEN BREASTS OR THIGHS A roast chicken is also something many people consider a classic, but what’s

even easier — and requires no carving at the end — is roasted chicken pieces.

For the most basic, roasted, bone-in and skin-on chicken breasts and thighs, start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Rub the chicken pieces with a bit of olive or other oil, place them, without touching, on a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and roast for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces, until cooked through — to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit if you have an internal thermometer, or until the juices aren’t pink when you cut into the pieces with a sharp knife. Play around with different spices and herbs along with the salt and pepper, such as an Italian blend or a mixture of chili powder, paprika, and cumin, and rub those into the skin after you oil the chicken pieces.

3. RICE Knowing how to cook simple rice on the stove means that whatever leftovers you have (either homemade or from takeout) can be stretched into a full bowl meal. And then you can top the bowl with condiments and add-ins like Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes or shredded cheese.

To make white rice, bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and an optional tablespoon of butter or cooking oil. When the water has returned to a boil, stir in 1 cup white rice. Let the water return to a simmer, stir, cover the pot, and turn the heat down to low.

Simmer covered until the rice is tender and all of the liquid is absorbed, which will take from 17 to 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for three minutes. Remove the lid, fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.

4. ENGLISH MUFFIN PIZZAS

Sounds kind of specific, don’t it? Well, it’s safe to say that if you know how to make an English muffin pizza, you could have breakfast, lunch and dinner

covered. Also a hearty midday snack.

This is a recipe for plain pizzas, but you can add anything on top that you would add to regular pizza: slivered cooked onions or peppers, sliced olives, chopped cooked broccoli, pepperoni and so on.

Toast a split English muffin in a toaster or in a preheated, 350-degree Fahrenheit oven until very lightly brown, three to four minutes. Spoon a few tablespoons of jarred tomato paste evenly over each half.

Lay a slice of mozzarella, about the size of the muffin,

over each half. Put them on a baking sheet or some foil, and bake or toast until the cheese is melted. Give a final sprinkle of salt and pepper, and, if available, dried oregano.

5. SOUP If you have the basics of soup down, then you can almost always make a meal out of the odds and ends in your fridge, and from random produce that might be on sale. Also, soup is always a good vegetarian option.

Start by heating a bit of oil in a large pot, then add-

ing some longer-cooking ingredients and aromatics, like chopped onion, shallots, carrots, winter squashes, potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower. Make sure all the ingredients are chopped into pieces small enough to fit in a soup spoon. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.

Then add several cups of broth — chicken, beef or vegetable — and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the vegetables are close to tender, anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes.

Then add shortercooking ingredients like chopped or crushed to-

matoes (canned or fresh), drained and rinsed canned beans, zucchini or summer squash, shredded or cubed cooked beef, pork, turkey or chicken, cooked rice, orzo or grains, peas or corn. Stir in some dried or fresh herbs (such as thyme, basil, oregano, rosemary), and salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer for another 15 minutes or so until it smells like soup. You can top the bowls with grated or crumbled cheese.

If new graduates have these five dishes under their belt, that is a very good start.

Young athletes today compete year-round in a variety of clubs and travel to tournaments, usually with staggering amounts of equipment. Vehicle support is often key, and to that end, Edmunds has collected its picks for the best cars, trucks and SUVs for families with active young athletes.

Space for passengers and cargo is paramount in this decision, especially if you’ll also be shuttling some of your child’s teammates. We’ve also considered comfort, fuel economy and safety features into our recommendations. Whether it’s hockey, travel baseball or amateur motocross, one

of our five vehicles should be suited to your needs.

Note that we’ve listed a recommended trim level for each vehicle as well as its listed manufacturer suggested retail pricing (MSRP), which includes destination fees. Other current discounts or incentives might also be available in your area. All of the vehicles here would work well as a 2- or 3-year-old used vehicle.

2019 HONDA ODYSSEY Forget that minivans may project some notion of automotive uncoolness. For active youth sports families, few vehicles are more practical than the Odyssey.

Eight-passenger seating means you can ferry your

whole crew to weekend tournaments and still have 38 cubic feet of luggage space for gear — more than double the trunk space of most sedans. A low floor and sliding doors make it easy for even your smallest goal-scorers to hop in and out. And with its strong V6 engine that returns an EPAestimated 22 mpg in combined city/highway driving, the Odyssey is built for long hauls. It’s also Edmunds’ top-ranked minivan.

Odyssey EX starting MSRP: $35,205

2019 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Can’t bring yourself to pilot a minivan? We get it. The next best thing is a three-row crossover SUV. The Chevrolet Traverse of-

fers a roomy cabin and the largest cargo space in its class. Three kids or teens can sit in the spacious second row. And by folding down the third row, you’ve got 58 cubic feet of space for gear and equipment bags. The Traverse is a big SUV and feels like it behind the wheel, but its V6 engine is up to the task of getting you and your crew up to speed. It also gets 21 mpg in combined driving.

Traverse FWD LT Cloth starting MSRP: $36,595

If your kids race bikes or karts, ride bulls or horses, or surf waves at the crack of dawn, you’ll want a Ram 1500. It rides almost as serenely as a sedan thanks to a unique suspension design, and its quiet cabin offers plenty of space for passengers and multiple storage nooks (under the seat, for example). The Ram, one of the most capable towing rigs around, is available with a variety of engine, cab and bed length configurations. It’s no surprise that the Ram 1500 is Edmunds’ top-ranked light-duty pickup.

Meet the Clarion Pressman Jeremy Walker

By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

Jeremy Walker is a new addition to the Peninsula Clarion press team, but plays a vital role in making sure the paper gets printed.

“I’m press operator number three,” Jeremy said. “So, I make sure that the inks are full and the plates are ready for press. I also help maintain the equipment and I jog and stack paper quickly and efficiently so that my teammates can load the inserter properly.”

Jeremy was born in Tooele, Utah, and moved to Kenai when he was about 5 years old, to be closer to family. Growing up in the state, he always enjoyed hunting and fishing with his grandfather, dad and uncle.

Now, his family has grown quite a bit.

This June, Jeremy became a grandfather to a “beautiful baby boy.”

He also has five of his own children, a Yorkshire terrier named Snickers and about 10 fish.

“Making sure my kids and wife are taken care of and happy is my passion,” Jeremy said. “They are my everything.”

Our newest decorating committee spent many hours decking out the Senior Center, bringing a taste of the tropics to Soldotna. Many thanks to Marie Billings, Janet Stacy, Donna Swaby, Cheryl Thames, Margaret Phelps, Gladys Routh, and Dorothy Diamond for working up to the last minute to ready our center for this event. More thanks to Estelle Parks, Dorothy Diamond, Gladys Routh, and Vickie Graham for going out to solicit donations for our auction items and door prizes.

The Senior Center would also like to extend a hearty thank you to Sen. Peter Micciche for once again taking on the role of auctioneer for our outcry auction.

Welcome warm weather in fiery July M onthly M usings B onnie M arie P layle July is the seventh month, and is called “Dog Days” because it’s the warmest month in the Northern Hemisphere.

FACTS: Astrological signs: Cancer and Leo; Birthstone: ruby; Colors: green, russet and red; Flowers: delphinium, commonly called larkspur and water lily; Birds: raven and bald eagle; Animals: crab and lion; Trees: apple, fir, elm and cypress; Day observed: Independence Day and approximately 64 Special/ Wacky Days.

Cancer is the fourth sign in the zodiac — its symbol is the crab and the element is water. Cancer people are “roots” kind of people who take great pleasure in the comforts of home and family. These people are nurturers, and being a water sign are sensitive, emotional and their feelings run deep. Leo is the fifth sign in the zodiac — its symbol is the lion and the element is fire. The ruler of this sign is the sun. Being a fire sign is an indicator of creativity — these people are self-sufficient, spontaneous and possess a tremendous zest for life.

July has the birthstone of ruby. The ruby represents love, health and wisdom.

This gemstone is the most valuable and its value increases based on color and quality. It’s said that rubies bestow good fortune on their owners.

The colors are green, russet and red.

Green is associated with money, the environment and revitalization, as well as rebirth. Russet means sorrow or grave seriousness. Red is passion and is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power and determination.

July’s flowers are larkspur and water lily. Larkspur symbolizes an open heart and ardent attachment and give a feeling of lightness and levity. The water lily is associated with rebirth and optimism, fertility, sexuality and creation, as well as, beauty, purity of heart and enlightenment. The scientific name is nymphaea, which means nymph, which is a feminine spirit that inhabited water bodies like

wells, waterways and springs.

The birds for July are raven, which stands for embodiment of grief caused by loneliness and separation. This bird represents evil and death. The other bird is the bald eagle, which is fierce beauty and proud independence, as well as strength and freedom, which is why it was selected as the national ensign for America.

The animals for July are the crab and the lion. The crab signifies prosperity, success and high status in Chinese symbolism. The crab means self-protection, boundaries and teaching others how to treat you. The second animal is the lion, meaning strength, courage and leadership.

July 1-4 is the apple tree — the symbol of knowledge, immortality, temptation and the fall of man and sin. July 5-14 is the fir tree, which means honesty, truth and forthrightness because it grows on the straight and narrow. July 15-25 is the elm tree, the main aspect is strength and is associated with Mother and Earth Goddesses. July 26-31 is the cypress tree, which is associated with death and mourning.

The main day observed in July is Independence Day. This is the most significant American holiday commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which was approved on July 4, 1776. There was a committee of five men: Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston and Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was appointed true author; 56 men from the 13 colonies actually signed the Declaration of Independence on August 2, 1776.

On July 4, 1776, we separated from Great Britain and became a sovereign nation.

Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator, certain inalienable Rights, among them Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. These became known as some of our ideals of our country. The result has been this shining light on a hill, the United States of America, the freest, most creative, productive and richest nation in the history of mankind.

July 23, 1957 — in Kenai there was an oil strike.

July 27, 1977 — Prudoe Bay oil reached Valdez via the Trans-Alaska Pipeline for the first time.

July 29, 1900 — White Pass and Yukon Route had the last rail laid.

July was named by the Roman Senate in honor of the Roman general, Julius Caesar, it being the month of his birth. Prior to that, it was called Quintilis.

In Alaska, there’s always something to do, fishing, kayaking, bear watching, hiking, camping, taking fjord trips and the train out of Whittier. Come join the fun, but be safe.

July is a celebration of the season. This month means sunshine and summer and all of its radiant glory.

People born in July can be sensitive, emotional, self-sufficient and possess a tremendous zest for life.

Home to Liberty

Lettering on the bell reads: “Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof.”

Mini Fact: This photo shows the north side of Independence Hall.

The Liberty Bell

The Liberty Bell was originally made to hang in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House. It was made in 1752 by a British foundry*.

When the bell arrived in Philadelphia, officials mounted it on a stand to test the sound, but the rim of the bell cracked when it was first struck. Two local metal casters, John Pass and John Stow, melted the original bell down and made a new bell, which was ready in 1753. However, the sound of the new bell was not good. Pass and Stow again removed the bell and recast it, and three months later it was hung in the steeple.

Almost a century later, in the 1840s, a narrow crack developed in the bell. Metal workers tried to repair it, but another crack appeared, and it has not been rung since.

Today, the bell hangs in the Liberty Bell Center near Independence Hall.

Independence Hall in Philadelphia is often called the birthplace of our country. This famous building, which was built between 1732 and 1751 to be the Pennsylvania State House, is in very good shape after standing for more than 260 years.

Many important events happened there, including: • The Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776.

• The Constitution, a plan for governing our country, was adopted in 1787.

Today, this site is a National Historical Park managed by the National Park Service.

In honor of Independence Day on July 4, let’s visit Independence Hall.

A historic building

Independence Hall is a two-story building with a tower and cellar. It has two wings.

Visitors enter in the East Wing. An exhibit displays copies of the first printed Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

The Pennsylvania legislature loaned its Assembly Room to the Second Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention.

It is where the Declaration of The Assembly Room Independence and the Constitution were signed.

Delegates to the Constitutional Convention met in the Assembly Room at Independence Hall. image courtesy Architect of the Capitol

The Rising Sun chair

When George Washington served as president of the convention to write the Constitution, he sat in a chair at the front of the Assembly Room. A sun design was on the back of the chair. (You can see the chair behind George Washington in the painting above.)

At the close of the convention, Ben Franklin made a remark about The Rising Sun chair that design, which he had often wondered about.

“I have often looked at that design on the chair behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising (going up) or setting (going down.)

“But now, at length, I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun.”

Ben Franklin meant that he expected that the Constitution written by the convention would last and last.

* A foundry is a building or factory where metals are produced.

Cook’s Corner

Fish and shellfish are a major source of food worldwide. Smallscale fishing does little harm to fish populations, but commercial fishing fleets gather such large hauls that some seas have very few fish left. For example, the Grand Banks off Newfoundland, Canada, were once a rich fishing ground for cod. But fishing fleets came from far and wide to collect the fish, and cod stocks dropped sharply. In 1992, the cod fishery collapsed, affecting marine food chains and putting many local fishermen out of work. adapted with permission from “50 Things You Should Know

Dear Readers: How do you know if your DOG IS SICK? He can’t come up to you and tell you, right?

So if you see any of the following general health changes, such as excessive thirst, constipation, weakness, runny nose and scratching, make an appointment for a checkup.

If your dog is experiencing poor appetite, no energy, constipation, panting, whimpering, vomiting or diarrhea? Go to the veterinarian soon.

If your dog has more acute, serious symptoms, such as bloated belly, seizures, loss of consciousness, a temperature of over 104 F or a significant, sudden change in personality, you’ll need to get to the emergency veterinarian.

Lots of conditions can be helped if an animal gets medical attention as soon as possible.

WHO REMEMBERS GORP?

Dear Heloise: Who remembers GORP? During our Scouting days, it was “good old raisins and peanuts,” but now it’s more!

Oat, rice or bran cereal, dried fruits, candy-coated peanuts and chocolates, sunflower and other seeds -- the possibilities are endless, but there was one rule in my family: No one was allowed to pull out all the WEEKEND WARRIOR candies and eat them and leave the healthier Dear Heloise: I graduated college in components -- ha!

May, took a bit of time off, and now it’s time

Quick, cheap, healthy and delicious snacks for everyone!

-- Jennifer J. in Houston Dear Heloise: As I was about to throw away the waxed paper liner that comes inside a box of breakfast cereal, I realized I was about to throw away something perfectly usable.

When making hamburger patties, I always placed a square of waxed paper between the patties to separate them. Now I just cut the liner from a cereal box into 5-inch squares and use them.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, June 30, 2019: This year, you’ll gain an understanding of others and what drives them. You could find some of their motivations curious. If single, you’ll get into the dating process. Try to steer away from anyone who is emotionally unavailable. If you’re attached, you and your partner seem more connected than you have been in a while.

You enjoy being together as a couple.

GEMINI always has interesting perceptions and feedback for you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Although you could have the best intentions, what you say might be taken too literally, even if you mean to be humorous. Weigh the pros and cons of going to the movies, a concert or some other place where you don’t need to talk. You’ll get into less trouble. Tonight: Think about tomorrow.

This week: A change on the homefront will become possible soon, if not immediately.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might want to rein in your spending. You love beautiful things. You appreciate quality. Those natural inclinations easily can get you into trouble. You could convince your sweetie to pitch in and pay for such purchases. Tonight: Enjoying the moment.

This week: You love baubles and things in general. You might surprise yourself with a purchase.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH All eyes turn to you.

Although you might not be doing anything differently, you seem wittier and more content than you usually do. A partner cannot get enough of you. If single, you have quite the entourage.

Tonight: Let it all hang out.

This week: You could opt to not make a purchase, as much as you might want to. If you do make the purchase, you will be thrilled at first...

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your emotions take over before you can restrain yourself. Perhaps sharing what’s in your heart is better. Don’t take someone’s first reaction personally. This person will probably change his or her mind. Tonight: Keep it calm.

This week: Your intensity and moodiness translate into magnetism.

Go for what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Your friends could come up with a provocative set of plans that you don’t want to say no to. On the other hand, a child or loved one could feel left out. See whether blending the two different relationship types is possible. You’ll be happier. Tonight: You could see the sunrise.

This week: If you can disappear midweek, do. The end of the week improves.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH An older relative would appreciate your company. This person adores you but might not be expressive. Make it your pleasure to go out to lunch or the movies together. If you understood how important this afternoon time could be to this person, you’d smile. Tonight: Out late.

This week: Accept the limelight.

Accept the responsibility.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might want to see a situation differently. Listen to the other parties involved and imagine being each one of them. You’ll gain a better sense of what’s going on. Keep it light. Tonight: Accept an invitation out and about.

This week: Go for what you want.

Success will be yours if you break though rigid thinking.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You express a willingness to share more with a specific person. One-on-one relating could be rewarding. You’ll enjoy yourself so much that you could forget your budget. Enjoy, but don’t make a big deal of doing so. Tonight: Out.

This week: A close loved one seems to become a major force yet controlling at the same time. Chill.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH No matter what you decide to do, you’ll tend to go to excess.

A partner or loved one could come up with one tempting idea after the other.

Go for the moment; you’re likely to have a blast while you’re out. Tonight: Dinner out.

This week: Defer and you will be a lot happier. This theme holds all week long.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You have a lot to do and complete. Focus on one item at a time; you’ll reach your goal fast enough. Don’t be tempted by a friend to toss your schedule into the air and join him or her. You might enjoy yourself now, but the consequences might not be amusing. Tonight: Complete rather than begin.

This week: Follow another person’s lead. You will like what occurs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Your inner child demands release. You’re likely to pursue some hobby that you’ve enjoyed for years. A friend or several friends would love to join in. You feel silly but have a great time. Tonight: Dance the night away.

This week: Your playfulness cannot be subdued except maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. Enjoy the lightness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might be more tense than you realize. Your source of stress might come from a judgment that you’re making around your personal life. If you can clear the air or have a helpful talk, do just that. Tonight: Forget problems; go out.

This week: You might be slow to get going, yet you display unusual creativity from Tuesday on. For some, love knocks on the door.

Dear Heloise: I appreciate when my veterinarian’s staff sends me an email birthday card for my pet, but when the animal passes away, I wish they could remove the pet from their list.

Hints from Heloise

to get serious.

I’m using my weekends to learn ordinary household things that admittedly I should have known by this time, but hey, better late than never! These things include laundry, organizing the kitchen, cleaning and decluttering the other rooms in the house, yardwork, organizing my personal finances and maintaining the car.

My dad taught me to change a tire, to jump-start the car, and he even gave me a toolkit to keep in the glove box!

These lessons are as important as my college work.

Breanna’s mother’s family vacations there every couple of years, so they decided to have the wedding there when her extended family will be vacationing.

The reason Breanna gave me was that she is embarrassed by some of my family members and doesn’t want to introduce them to her family, so a destination wedding eliminates those people from attending. When I told Breanna’s stepfather what she said, Breanna denied ever making the statement!

Man tired of dating game is ready to throw in the towel some advice.

-- SOMEBODY’S BOYFRIEND IN MICHIGAN DEAR BOYFRIEND: Something is clearly wrong here. Where are you meeting these women who cheat and lie? You may need to go fishing in different waters. And has Abigail Van Buren it occurred to you that in your loneliness you may be trying too hard, which may scare them off?

Having never met you, I can’t guess what you might be doing wrong, if anything. It’s time to start asking your married friends why they think this is happening repeatedly. Perhaps they can suggest some “tweaks” or introduce you to women who will appreciate the fine qualities you possess.

DEAR ABBY: My husband’s first wife died 17 years ago. They were married for 20 years. We have been together 14 years, married for 12. He still insists that her family is his family because of their daughter, who is an amazing young woman.

We have an ongoing disagreement about this.

He can’t understand why I refuse to attend functions that include only his late wife’s fami-

early night.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH When it comes to a partner, you could be quite confused. This person’s actions do not conform to what you believe is happening. Drop the rosecolored shades and try to be more realistic. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You have an excellent perception of a situation and what is happening. Still, encourage others to talk. The more you know, the better off you will be. You might not hear a boss clearly, which could become evident later. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Highlight relating to others no matter what you choose to do. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with a child or loved one. Nevertheless, a serious talk might be in order.

Tonight: Detach and take an overview.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could be too tired for your own good. You have been highly responsive to a driven, demanding associate or loved one. At the same time, you have had your share of work to cover. Tonight: Slow down, for your sake.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Plunge into work as if there is no stopping you at this point. You seem unusually nimble when handling problems. Wait until later in the day or tomorrow to have an important conversation with a loved one or associate.

Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You could be in the mood to pursue a favorite hobby, or enjoy someone who is perhaps younger than you, but who makes you laugh. Postpone any serious conversation until tomorrow. Tonight: Why stop? Continue frolicking away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could opt to stay close to home. You might be uncomfortable with your plans. Do not allow another person to sway your thinking. Listen but do not feel as if you need to change your decision. Tonight: Let go and relax with a loved one or friend.

FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are some hints for labeling keys: * Use colored nail polish. * Get colored key covers. * Have keys made in different colors. * Use decorative tape.

-- Heloise THE INVITATION Dear Heloise: My mother said I can’t tell people where I’m registered on the wedding invitations. She said it is rude. I say it’s not.

Who’s right?

-- Shelley in New Jersey Shelley, your mother is correct. Never put where you are registered on a wedding invitation. Why? The majority of people will bring a gift, but a gift is NOT mandatory. It’s better to spread the information by word-of-mouth, so tell your bridesmaids. Above all, don’t ask for money on your invitation.

-- Heloise SWEET SMELL Dear Heloise: My vacuum has a removable filter, and each time I clean or change the filter, I spray it with a little of my perfume, and this makes the whole house smell wonderful. This is especially nice since I have two dogs.

-- Vangie in Texas PILL BUG WAR Dear Heloise: Got a problem with pill bugs, also known as “roly-polies”? Here’s a solution: Fill a spray bottle with 1/3 dishwashing soap and 2/3 water, then shake well.

Spray the leaves and soil around your plants where you’ve seen pill bugs. Check back in 24 hours to see if you need to reapply.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 1, 2019: This year, you open up to many new ideas. You might not be ready to live them out, but your parameters around life are changing. If single, the person you choose to date today might be quite different from the person you would choose a year from now. Do not make any commitments unless you are 100% sure. If attached, your sweetie needs to understand where you are coming from more often. Take the time to explain. Let your sweetie know he or she is valued, and include him or her in your outside life as well. GEMINI reads and understands you well.

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) HHH Just when you believed all was copacetic, you find out about a wrinkle in your assessment. Talk through a lurking problem. You might not be ready to commit one way or another to settle the issue. Tonight: Stay close to home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You love beautiful baubles, and you demand quality in any object you choose. Things are simply important to you. Double-check your checking account before spending any further, even for a good cause. Tonight: Catch up with a friend. This person has news.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might be confused about what a boss might insist upon doing and why this person is proceeding as he or she is. Just go along with what this person is saying. The more docile you are, the better the end results. Tonight: Go for a brisk walk!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You have a lot to share but for some reason cannot get the appropriate words out of your mouth. Process your feelings. You will soon find you are able to clear the air. Tonight: Nap. Make an important call later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be doing more inner reflection than you normally do. You appear gabby and full of fun, but soon your irritation about something could emerge. Try to handle the issue before you hit that point. Tonight: Make it an

ly. He doesn’t feel my family is his family, only his first wife’s family. When he attends these functions alone, he comes home very angry. He tells me I don’t understand and that I need to go where he goes.

I am sorry, Abby, but after another intense disagreement, I’m ready to call it the end of the road. We are both in our 60s, and it’s kind of late in life for a divorce, so I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

-- ARGUING A LOT IN MONTANA DEAR ARGUING: Unless your husband’s former in-laws have made you feel unwelcome, I think you should have made a greater effort to accompany him to some of those gatherings. Frankly, I am surprised you would seriously consider ending your marriage over the fact that he still considers them to be family. If ever I thought a couple should get marriage counseling, it is you two. Please consider it before consulting a lawyer.

DEAR ABBY: In the last few years I have had a string of failed relationships. Nothing bad happened, and there were no fights or arguments. The ladies tell me I’m great and an amazing person. Yet they don’t want to be in a relationship, or they cheat or lie to me.

I’m a very open, understanding guy. I believe communication is key to success in any relationship, and that together, there isn’t much a couple can’t overcome. It seems many women come from abusive relationships or just plain toxic ones, and they are scared because I don’t exhibit any of those traits.

I’m a kind, caring, supportive partner. If you had a bad day, I want to hear about it. You had a good day? Let’s talk about that. You want to go out with your friends? Go for it. Have fun and be safe! You want to go out with me? Don’t worry about bringing your pocketbook -- I got this.

I’m looking for a partner, someone who eventually may become my queen. These women love that about me but then do everything to distance themselves. It appears nice guys finish last. I’m not bad looking -- I’m 34, go to the gym regularly, no kids, no marriages. I was engaged for four years previously.

I’m ready to give up on relationships altogether; the pain just doesn’t seem worth it. After a while, though, it gets lonely. Please give me
