ANCHORAGE — A 22-year-old man charged with wounding an Anchorage teenager told police he fired shots when the boy stabbed him with a screwdriver. KTVA-television reports John-Rexie Lagman is charged with felony assault in the shooting of a 16-year-old boy Tuesday night at Williwaw Elementary School. Online court records do not list Lagman’s attorney. Court documents say Lagman and the teen were among people who gathered to watch a fight over a girl between 13- and 14-year-old boys. Police say melee broke out and the 16-year-old boy stabbed people with a screwdriver, including a teen who needed hospital treatment. Lagman told police he also was stabbed and fired two shots as the teenager ran away. The 16-year-old was struck in the arm and back. He remains in critical condition.

Kenai Peace Corps volunteer fights climate change in Paraguay

Residents swelter in unprecedented heat wave

insula was literally a breath of fresh air. It was then that Gustafson knew he wanted to start putting his energy into fighting pollution and climate change. “Sometimes you just have that one experience that changes how you see things,” Gustafson said. Gustafson immediately began focusing on local environmental pursuits: participating in river cleanups with Cook Inletkeeper, volunteering at the local food bank and community garden and helping out with the STEM Mentoring Program through the Boys and Girls Club. While speaking with the Clarion, Gustafson pulled out a hat from his time with the Boys and Girls Club that he took to Paraguay as a way of keeping Kenai close, no matter where he was. “It’s been through the ringer, you know. It’s all frayed on the edges, but I wear it down there every day,” Gustafson said. At the same time that he was doing his volunteer work in Kenai, around June of 2016, Gustafson started his application process for the Peace Corps. The application process can be rigorous, and Gustafson said that less than a quarter of the applicants actually get accepted into the program. The program looks for qualified applicants who are serious about the longterm commitment of traveling to another part of the world and abandoning their native language and culture. Gustafson said his background in teaching, living abroad and environmental activism helped him secure a spot in the environmental conservation program. Gustafson also studied Spanish and Russian at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, so his multilingualism potentially gave him an edge over other candidates.

It took about a year for Gustafson to get through all the paperwork, interviews, and medical and security clearances that the process entailed, but by September of 2017 he was on his way to Washington, D.C., to start his training and meet with other volunteers from around the country. Gustafson said that in a lot of ways, the volunteers he met from other states were as different from him as the people he would meet in Paraguay, and that experience opened his eyes to the idea that America’s melting-pot culture is not quite as homogeneous as he once thought. From D.C., Gustafson flew into Paraguay’s capital of Asunción and stayed overnight in a roadside hotel before traveling to the town of Guarambaré for three months of language and cultural training. Paraguay has two official languages, Spanish and Guaraní — an indigenous language spoken primarily in rural villages but understood by about 95% of the countries population. In addition to familiarizing himself with both languages, Gustafson also had to learn about all the cultural norms of the country, such as what to say when you meet someone for the first time, what to do when you enter a school and the role that gender plays in Paraguayan culture. After three months in Guarambaré, Gustafson finally made it to San Cosme Y Damián, the community he would call home for the next year and a half. San Cosme Y Damián is home to about 7,000 people, mostly subsistence farmers and fishermen, as well as a church built in the 1600s by Jesuit missionaries when the town was originally founded. The missionaries were eventually expelled, but the church remains in use to this day and the Jesuit ruins draw tourists from all over the world. Gustafson described the climate there as lush and “neo-tropical” and said that the growing season is year-

round. “You finish eating a pepper and throw it out into the field, and in a few days you’ve got pepper plants growing.” Since arriving in San Cosme Y Damián, Gustafson has helped with two major environmentally focused projects. One has involved working with a group of local tour guides to form an NGO that promotes ecotourism in the area. Gustafson has shown the guides how to set up camera traps for wildlife viewing, taught them the tenets of ecotourism and is in talks with the World Wildlife Fund to come to the community and give a presentation on climate change. The second project has revolved around turning the local high school into an eco-friendly campus. With Gustafson’s help and encouragement, the students there have created recycled art out of old tires and plastic bottles and created a tree nursery on campus using 100% recycled materials and locally sourced trees. Gustafson and the kids — mostly 15 to 18 year olds — went out and identified

tree species in the area, picked the seeds and planted them in tires and milk cartons before eventually transplanting them to the nursery. Other projects Gustafson has been involved in include designing environmentally themed murals on buildings around town and creating “eco-bricks” out of plastic two-liter bottles that are stuffed with trash and can be used as building blocks. The kids in the community are making a bench out of these eco-bricks and are collecting cans to sell to a local recycling plant in order to fund the project. Gustafson said that almost all of the ideas for the projects have come from the community, and that his role is to facilitate these ideas in an indirect way, helping them become a reality without actively forcing his own ideas into the equation. “As a Peace Corps volunteer, my job is not to do the project. My job is to work in the background to facilitate, train, listen and encourage wherever I can,” Gustafson said. “I’m not building struc-

tures, I’m changing behaviors and shaping belief systems.” Gustafson knew very little about the Paraguayan culture before traveling there, and only managed to find a few books from the Kenai library on the subject, as well as some old videos on Youtube from Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom filmed in the 1980s. Upon arrival, Gustafson said that the Paraguayan people have been nothing but welcoming to him. “They are the warmest, most open people I’ve ever met,” Gustafson said. He told a story of walking down the street and being invited by a stranger to drink tereré — a traditional drink made from Yerba Mate — on their porch, only to leave five hours later having made a new friend. Gustafson spends many evenings playing chess and listening to music with the local tour guides, and said the director/principal of the high school has been one of his biggest advocates in getting ideas off the ground. “It doesn’t feel like I’m an outsider coming in and dictating what to do,” Gustafson

said. “We’re meeting as partners with an understanding of where the other is coming from, and together we’re making something awesome for that high school.” Gustafson admits that although he has been welcomed by the community, being the only foreigner in a town where no one speaks English can be a tough job at times. But when the heat and the unfamiliar food start to get to him it’s the little moments — like when third graders cheer his name as he walks into the classroom — that remind him that he made the right decision. “That little bit can take you from feeling like nothing, to feeling like the most confident person in the world,” Gustafson said. “They’re a constant reminder not only of what’s at stake, but why you’re there.” Gustafson has spent his few weeks of home leave catching up with friends and family and returns to Paraguay on Tuesday to finish out his 28-month commitment. After his time in Paraguay is over, Gustafson hopes to bring the best of Paraguayan and Alaskan cultures together and apply what he’s learned in his environmental conservation work to efforts on the Kenai Peninsula. Gustafson suggested that anyone interested in joining the Peace Corps should do their research, talk to a recruiter, and go into it with no expectations. “The last thing you want to do is have the United States government spend thousands of dollars on your lodging, airfare and training only to go to your site and in two months decide ‘I’m not happy,’” Gustafson said. “Not only is all that money wasted, but you’re denying the people of that town the opportunity to work with a Peace Corps volunteer. If it’s for you, you’ll know it. If it’s not, you’ll know that too.”

and federal agencies. As of Saturday, the Fuller Lakes Trail within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge is closed as personnel have begun assessing the area for potential future operations. An air quality monitoring station has been set up near Cooper Landing, and real-time reports are available 24 hours a day at http://tools.airfire. org.

Campfires are restricted to enclosed fire rings/ grates within designated campgrounds and cabins in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, Kenai Fjords National Park, Kenai Peninsula State Parks and Church National Forest. The following areas of the refuge remain closed for camping and recreation: Watson Lake, Peterson Lake, Kelly

Lake, Jean Lake, Mystery Creek Road, Skyline Trail, Seven Lakes Trail, Fuller Lakes Trail, Kelly Lake Cabin, Trapper Joe Cabin, Big Indian Cabin, East Fork Moose River and Bottenintin Lake.

plans to host the session in Wasilla Middle School. “Today I am calling a second special session in Wasilla so lawmakers can complete their work and follow the law,” Dunleavy said in the release. “At this point, a change in venue is necessary to refocus the conversation and remind lawmakers about the people and their PFD. Once the issue of the PFD is solved, these other budgetary issues will fall into place quickly.” However, June 24, House and Senate leadership announced they would return to Juneau for a special session, and hold a majority of meetings in Anchorage.

The announcement said they believe the Legislature should call itself into session, where the intent is to hold floor sessions in Juneau and hold most committee meetings at the Anchorage Legislative Information Office. “This approach would save hundreds of thousands of dollars and provide in-person access to Alaskans on the road system, while also utilizing facilities designed for legislative proceedings and providing Alaskans who are unable to attend in person the ability to participate and follow along as lawmakers consider these crucial issues,” the announcement from the

House Majority said. In a press release from House Republicans, House Minority leader Rep. Lance Pruitt, R-Anchorage, criticized the decision of the House Majority. “The fact that legislative leadership plans to run away from the Mat-Su Valley back to their hiding places in Juneau is extremely illuminating,” Pruitt said. “The legislative leadership has already tried to have these conversations on the budget, PFD, and education in the dark back rooms of faraway Alaska; they haven’t found answers. Now, we should be having these conversations in full view of the public.”

R-Kenai/Soldotna, said he supports the governor to call the special session where he chooses. However, Micciche is excused Monday, and part of July, due to his work as a commercial fisherman, but says he will be present when it comes time to make key votes. Micciche said he’s encouraging lawmakers to sit down with the governor, to come up with a compromise in finding a final solution. Rep. Sarah Vance, RHomer, did not immediately respond for comment. A June 24 post on her official Facebook page indicates she will be in Wasilla. “I will obey the law, and stand with The People!” the post reads. “Join me in Wasilla July 8 for the Special Session.” Sen. Gary Stevens, RKodiak, also did not immediately respond for comment, but told the Homer News July 2, he would would be attending the special session in Juneau. Dunleavy called the Alaska Legislature into special session, with hopes of providing a full Alaska Permanent Fund dividend, June 13, a press release from the governor’s office said.

Dunleavy, who took office in December, campaigned on paying a full dividend, which would cost about $1.9 billion and result in checks around $3,000 this year. When the Legislature convenes, it will have five days to decide whether to override any of Dunleavy’s vetoes to the state operating budget. University of Alaska President Jim Johnsen has described the $130 million Dunleavy vetoed from the system’s budget as devas-

tating. Other areas affected by vetoes include health and social service, early childhood and environmental programs and public broadcasting. Fortyfive of the Legislature’s 60 members must agree on an override, which lawmakers say is a high bar to attain. Democratic Rep. Adam Wool of Fairbanks, a university city, said it will be a bad day if lawmakers fail to override the university cut in particular. “I think we’re at a serious turning point. If we can’t do it this

year, then I don’t know what it says about next year,” he said. Dunleavy has said he hopes to close the budget gap next year. The state has no statewide sales or personal income tax, and no new or increased state taxes were seriously considered this year. Dunleavy did propose tax-collection changes that would benefit the state but that some local governments said would hurt them. Those failed to gain traction with lawmakers.

Anchorage experienced its wettest May ever but was warmer than normal every day in June, she said. The high pressure system is expected at least through Monday, she said. Anchorage gardeners who can’t grow a tomato without a greenhouse are loving the high temperatures. Others are experiencing flashbacks to where they used to live.

“My home doesn’t have AC like most homes here in Anchorage, and it’s pretty miserable,” said Manny Acuna, who moved north nine years ago with the Air Force. “That’s a lot coming from me because I’m originally from Las Vegas.” Shawn King has lived his entire 31 years in Anchorage and has never seen a stretch of similar hot weather, he said. He used the occasion to take his 4-year-old daughter, Tessa, fishing for the first time on the dock of Jewel Lake. She insisted on going barefoot.

“It’s too hot for shoes,” Tessa said. Visitors bracing for cooler temperatures were surprised to find out they would not need parkas. “We didn’t pack clothes for this,” Judy Zickmund, who arrived in Anchorage after stepping off a cruise ship Friday morning in Seward with her husband, David. “We had gone on the internet, and they said it usually runs about 65, 70 (degrees). But this has been wonderful, coming to Anchorage. The whole cruise was warmer than normal.”

Rick Thoman, a climate specialist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, said the record high is both a weather story and part of the ongoing changing environment story. “These kinds of extreme weather events become much more likely in a warming world,” Thoman said. High ocean temperatures have played a role in keeping Alaska warm, he said. “Surface temperatures are above normal every-

where around Alaska,” Thoman said. “The entire Gulf of Alaska, in the Bering Sea, in the Chukchi Sea south of the ice edge, exceptionally warm waters, warmest on record, and of course record-low sea ice extent for this time of year off the north and northwest coasts of the state.” Even with her air conditioner running full blast, Davidson said, she can’t get the temperature inside her home below 82 degrees. “If it wasn’t so expensive, I’d buy one of those big outdoor pools,” she said.

also is unresolved. Dunleavy said late Friday he’d expand the special session agenda to include state match money for road and airport programs “when the Alaska State Legislature convenes in Wasilla,” pursuant to his special session proclamation. Some legislators also are interested in revisiting the dividend formula, seeing the existing calculation as unsustainable. The formula has not been followed the last three years, resulting in reduced check sizes.

What others say

Despite divide, Supreme Court justices didn’t always follow partisan script The Supreme Court term that ended

last week can be critiqued on the basis of the wisdom of the court’s decisions — or the lack of it. But it’s also appropriate to judge the justices, and particularly Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., on whether they safeguarded the court’s independence from partisan politics, as well as the perception of its independence. By that measure the court earned a passing grade. That’s important because, while the court long has been the subject of political controversy, its credibility is especially compromised in these polarized times. President Trump has contributed to the perception of politicization, describing a federal judge who ruled against the administration’s asylum policy as an “Obama judge.” (The chief justice pushed back in a rare public statement, saying: “We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.”) Meanwhile some Democrats have portrayed Trump’s judicial selections — including the judges he elevated to the Supreme Court — as untrustworthy agents of the far right or business interests. The justices lived down to that expectation at times, separating into conservative and liberal blocs on some cases freighted with political overtones. See, for example, the 2018 decision upholding Trump’s ban on visitors from a number of Muslim-majority countries. And more recently, the execrable decision to duck the question of whether extreme partisan gerrymandering is unconstitutional. But in its recent term, the court also did a good deal to dispel the idea that the justices always vote in partisan blocs. In at least some cases, they seem to have adopted Roberts’ philosophy of seeking consensus and avoiding sweeping decisions when possible. Take the court’s 7-2 decision last month holding that a war memorial in the form of a giant cross on public land near a highway intersection in Maryland didn’t violate the 1st Amendment’s ban on an “establishment of religion.” In our view, that was the wrong decision because the cross on public property could be viewed as an endorsement of Christianity. But frankly, the decision could’ve been a lot worse, and it disappointed conservatives who had hoped the court would use the case to announce a new, more permissive approach to government endorsement of religion. Instead, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.’s majority opinion instead rested heavily on the notion that the cross had stood on that spot for decades and had come to symbolize the nonreligious value of community gratitude to the war dead. The court also showed restraint in sending back to an Oregon court a case involving bakers who were fined $135,000 for defying a civil rights law by refusing to bake a wedding cake for the marriage of two women. Social conservatives had seen the case as a vehicle for a broad holding that businesses could cite religious reasons for refusing to serve gay customers. That would have been disastrous. The court should ultimately say the opposite: that freedom of religion can’t be used as an excuse to engage in discrimination. But thanks to Trump’s conservative appointees, there may not be the votes on the court for that outcome. The justices also disappointed conservatives by declining to review a federal appeals court ruling blocking an Indiana law that could have made it illegal for women to end a pregnancy because of the race or gender of the fetus or if they received a diagnosis of Down syndrome. Finally and perhaps most important, Roberts joined the court’s liberal justices in a ruling that questioned the motives of the Trump administration in moving to add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census. Roberts said that the administration’s justification for asking the question — that it would help in enforcement of the Voting Rights Act — “seems to have been contrived.”

Striking a balance for Alaska’s future A laska V oices S en . C athy G iessel Last week, Alaskans across our state were shocked to learn the scale and depth of budget cuts proposed by the administration. The stated goal is to fund the largest Alaska Permanent Fund dividend check in our state’s 40-year history — $3,000. Yet in fact, these reductions only go halfway. To sustainably fund a $3,000 dividend into the future, similar sized cuts will be necessary again next year. Even if all the governor’s red ink sticks, paying out a full PFD will overdraw Alaska’s savings by $600 million dollars — that’s half of our annual statewide education budget. Budget reductions are now on everyone’s mind. That’s a good thing. The Republican Senate Majority has reduced spending over $1 billion (with a “B”) the last six years. We know how to reduce budgets carefully, with a scalpel not a chainsaw. We want to share the problem and come to a solution, with you as part of the conversation. Pulling together in hard times is what Alaskans do best. The question senators ask each year is: what do we want Alaska to look like? Should we be a state known for huge annual government checks? Should we

focus instead on building a great place to live, work and raise a family? This year Alaskans spoke clearly that they wanted to crack down on crime and repeal Senate Bill 91. I am proud to say that senators responded with an exhaustive retooling of our criminal laws, in many cases getting tougher on crime than pre-SB 91 provisions. In response, our prison and trooper commissioners were clear: costs to the state are going to increase at least $40 million now, and even more next year. Should we endure a greater crime risk and be able to afford a larger PFD? The message we heard was clear: Alaskans want safety first. Quality of life can’t be measured in dollars. Federally funded hunting and fishing programs that Alaskans rely on have been cut off. Low income seniors are losing a very small monthly stipend which can make a real difference between heat, food or medicine. Behavioral health clinic and domestic violence shelter staff are questioning what will happen to the needy now, if their facilities are closed. Tens of thousands of college students are considering if staying in Alaska makes sense. The question before Alaskans is what role will the permanent fund dividend play? As oil revenue declines through the years, will dividends consume ever more resources biting into education, health, corrections and public safety? The Senate and the House have received bitter criticism because of our pause over the payment of a $3,000

dividend. Emails I receive demanding a super-sized PFD aren’t fit to read aloud to hardened sailors. The Legislature created the dividend to raise awareness and martial defense of the fund from overspending. Gradually, spanning 40 years of steady payments, some have confused the role of the dividend and the permanent fund; they care more about a big PFD today than protecting the earning power of the fund itself for the future. Doesn’t the 50year future of the permanent fund matter more than paying a large dividend today? Is it possible the tail is wagging the dog? Our Senate Finance committee has spent months working tirelessly to craft an Alaska family budget that keeps our kids educated, our seniors cared for and criminals locked up. The administration believes strongly in the $1.9 billion PFD distribution, even though that’s 50% more than the entire state’s education budget. Many of my fellow senators and I have suggested ways to preserve a dividend program without decimating services or the permanent fund itself. We have made many “middle ground” suggestions. I remain hopeful that the Legislative branch can find common ground with the administration and put polarizing positions behind us. We can carry Alaska forward with balance and long-term vision. The sacrifice necessary to pay a $3,000 dividend has only just begun. Is the feast today worth the famine tomorrow?

Gov’s budget cut threatens KPC, KBC campuses

It’s pure and simple: the University of Alaska (UA) is facing a fiscal crisis unlike any it has ever seen in its 100-plus year existence, and that means so is Kenai Peninsula College. Due to Gov. Mike Dunleavey’s 41% budget reduction of state funding amounting to a $135 million cut, our very existence is threatened. As University of Alaska President Jim Johnsen has said, this will be “devastating” if the veto is not overridden by the Alaska Legislature. This means 45 of 60 legislators need to vote to make this happen. Can this be done? Some say it’s possible, others are not so optimistic. What happens if the veto is not overturned? Well, imagine if your household income was suddenly cut by almost 50%. What would you do? Sell your house? Move to a cheaper apartment? Find yourself on the street eating ramen noodles? How about your children? Your way of life of life would change beyond anything a nightmare

might imagine. And you’d need to deal with this starting July 1. This is what UA and KPC are facing. This type of cut will likely result in many campuses locking the doors. We don’t know which ones yet. The number of programs available to Alaska students, and where they can pursue these certificates and degrees would be reduced tremendously. What could this possibly mean to the Kenai Peninsula? It means there might be no local college in Soldotna, Homer or Seward for our students. Your kids, grandkids, parents and others will not have an option to attend college close to home. Yes, there are many options with distance education, but many students do not learn well in that environment for a number of reasons, and some degrees cannot be delivery totally online. This won’t just affect credit courses, but also non-credit workforce development classes, particularly in Homer; Adult Basic Education leading to a GED; English as a Second Language, and the list goes on. We’re talking about 2,800 students taking KPC courses here and across the state. What will happen to these students? Many (most) will not be able to pursue the degree or classes they want anywhere in Alaska. Talk about a brain drain. It’s a fact that once students leave their state to pursue a postsecondary

credential, most stay in the region they went to school. Approximately 68% of UA’s two-year graduates and 42% of four-year graduates remain in Alaska. KPC employs 98 faculty and staff, 70 adjuncts and 30 student employees. In 2016, based on an economic impact study done by the McDowell Group in 2009, it was estimated that KPC had a $23.9 million economic impact to the state and a $20.65 million impact in the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The pain the governor has wrought on UA will be excruciating on all of us if the Legislature doesn’t override his veto. But it’s not too late. If you want your college to be here into the future (we’ve been here for 55 years) reach out to your legislators and tell them how important KPC is to our communities and the state of Alaska, but most importantly our current and future students. I ask that you contact your legislators and ask them to override the governor’s veto. If they don’t, our economic future, and our future generations will suffer beyond belief. I think the last thing we want to leave as our legacy when future generations look back at history is them asking, “What were they thinking?”

That was a charitable description of the administration’s maneuvering, which seems to have been motivated by a desire to depress Latino participation in the census and as a result, reduce Democratic representation in the next round of redistricting. Roberts’ fellow Republican appointees should have joined him in that rebuke.

Finally, this term dispelled fears that Trump’s two appointees would always vote as interchangeable members of a “right-wing gang of five.” Neil M. Gorsuch has joined with liberal justices in criminal justice cases and Brett M. Kavanaugh joined the liberals in a 5-4 decision allowing an anti-trust lawsuit against Apple to go for-

ward. No doubt the two justices called these cases as they saw them, based on their own flavor of conservative judicial philosophy. But the fact they don’t always vote as a partisan bloc is reassurance — and we need it — that the justices aren’t politicians in robes.

Nation Months of aftershocks could follow big California earthquake

in the Ridgecrest area, which is sandwiched between more populated areas of Southern California and Las Vegas’ Clark County. But seismologists warned that the area could see up to 30,000 aftershocks over the next six months. April Hamlin said she was “already on edge” when the second quake rattled her Ridgecrest home. She and her three kids initially thought it was another aftershock. “But it just kept on intensifying,” she said. “The TV went over, hanging by the cord. We heard it break. We heard glass breakage in the other rooms, but all we could do was stay where we were until it stopped.” With the possibility of aftershocks and temperatures forecast to reach 100 degrees over the next several days, officials were taking precautions. The California National

Guard was sending 200 troops, logistical support and aircraft, Maj. Gen. David Baldwin said. The Pentagon had been notified, and the entire California Military Department was put on alert, he said. Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake said in a Facebook post that nonessential workers were evacuated and operations halted. The epicenters of both quakes were on the base, and officials said they are continuing to assess damage. Officials said most employees live off the base and in Ridgecrest, but they authorized the evacuation so those who live on base can be eligible for reimbursements. The California Office of Emergency Services brought in cots, water and meals and set up cooling centers in the region, Director Mark Ghilarducci said. State highway officials shut down a 30-mile section

of State Route 178 between Ridgecrest and the town of Trona southwest of Death Valley because of a rockslide and severe cracking. The move left Trona temporarily cut off. California Department of Transportation spokeswoman Christine Knadler said crews worked through the night to patch the roadway, but it remained rough and uneven. Ron Mikulaco, 51, and his nephew, 23-year-old Brad Fernandez, stood on 178 on Saturday looking at the cracks. The pair drove from Huntington Beach, about 170 miles southwest of Ridgecrest. Mikulaco, an amateur geologist, wanted to show his nephew “the power of Mother Nature,” and they had the epicenter’s latitude and longitude coordinates ready. “We put that in the GPS, and we’ll get as close as we can,” Fernandez said.

At least 21 people were injured though none of the injuries was life-threatening, Police Sgt. Jesica Ryan said. The explosion demolished the building, leaving behind only part of its metal frame. The restaurant, called PizzaFire, had been out of business for several months. The blast also blew out the windows of a popular fitness club next

door at the shopping plaza in Broward County. Jesse Walaschek had just left the fitness club with his wife and three children, ages 4, 6 and 8. They were parked near the restaurant and had just driven about 50 yards away when they heard the blast. “It was a massive explosion like I have never experi-

enced,” he said. Walaschek said dust and debris filled the air. “Everything just stopped. You didn’t see anybody. I just wanted to get these guys safe,” he said, pointing to his children. “If this had happened a minute before when we were getting the kids in the car, it would have been really bad.”

Shopping plaza blast injures 21 PLANTATION, Fla. — A vacant pizza restaurant exploded Saturday in a thundering roar at a South Florida shopping plaza, injuring more than 20 people as large chunks of concrete flew through the air. The blast flung debris widely along a busy road in Plantation, west of Fort Lauderdale. The restaurant was destroyed, and nearby businesses and cars were damaged. Though firefighters found ruptured gas lines afterward, authorities said it was too early to determine a cause. “We thought it was thunder at first, and then we felt the building shake and things started falling. I looked outside and it was almost like the world was ending,” said Alex Carver, a worker at a deli across the street from the explosion. “It was nuts, man. It was crazy.” The explosion hurled large pieces of concrete up to 50 yards away and sent pieces of metal scattering as far as 100 yards across the street. Carver said two of his co-workers’ cars were destroyed.

RIDGECREST, Calif. — Officials in Southern California expressed relief Saturday that damage and injuries weren’t worse after the largest earthquake the region has seen in nearly 20 years, while voicing concerns about the possibility of major aftershocks in the days and even months to come. No fatalities or major injuries were reported after Friday night’s 7.1-magnitude earthquake, which jolted an area from Sacramento to Mexico and prompted the evacuation of the Navy’s largest single landholding, Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in the Mojave Desert. The quake struck at 8:19 p.m. Friday and was centered 11 miles from Ridgecrest, the same area of the desert where a 6.4-magnitude temblor hit just a day earlier. It left behind cracked and burning buildings, broken roads, obstructed railroad tracks and leaking water and gas lines. The light damage was largely due to the remoteness of the area where the earthquake occurred, but Gov. Gavin Newsom cautioned after touring Ridgecrest that “it’s deceiving, earthquake damage. You don’t notice it at first.” He estimated more than $100 million in economic damages and said President Donald Trump called him to offer federal support in the rebuilding effort. “He’s committed in the long haul, the long run, to help support the rebuilding efforts,” Newsom said of Trump.

of a study abroad program in Hong Kong. The Warmbiers say their son was tortured after being convicted of trying to steal a propaganda poster and imprisoned for months. He suffered severe brain damage, but doctors were unable to determine was led to it. The 22-year-old died days after being returned to the U.S. in a vegetative state in 2017. “The Warmbiers are committed to holding North Korea accountable for the death of their son Otto, and will work tirelessly to seize North Korean assets wherever they may be found,” Ben Hatch, an

attorney for the family, said in an emailed statement. North Korea has rejected accusations by relatives that it tortured Warmbier and said he was provided “medical treatments and care with all sincerity.” President Donald Trump has condemned Warmbier’s treatment but said earlier this year he did not believe North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, knew about it or would have allowed it to happen. North Korea did not respond to the wrongful death lawsuit that accused it of detaining Warmbier at the

Pyongyang airport “in an attempt to extract various concessions from the United States government.” U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled last year that North Korea “more likely than not barbarically tortured Otto to extract a false confession” and used his lengthy prison sentence as leverage to further its foreign policy objectives. She ordered North Korea to pay $501 million for its “barbaric mistreatment” of Warmbier, saying the student’s family “experienced North Korea’s brutality first-hand.”

PORT ANGELES, Wash. — Police say a woman and three children are unaccounted for following a deadly fire at a mobile home park site in western Washington. Port Angeles Police Chief Brian Smith said the blaze began at the residential Welcome Inn RV Park in west Port Angeles along the Olympic Peninsula about 2:30 a.m. Saturday. The bodies were found inside the trailer where the fire began, and the flames had spread to another trailer and a vehicle before being contained by emergency crews. Identities haven’t been confirmed, though police are searching for four family members who lived there but haven’t been seen since, including Valerie Kambeitz, 34, Lilly Kambeitz, 9, and Emma Kambeitz, 6, and Jayden Kambeitz, 5, police said.

Man arrested in Oregon in death of original Mouseketeer MEDFORD, Ore. — Authorities in Oregon have arrested a man in the death of an original member of Disney’s “The Mickey Mouse Club.” Daniel James Burda, 36, was taken into custody Friday on suspicion of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, abuse of a corpse, criminal mistreatment and identity theft in the death of Dennis Day, Oregon State Police said. Burda was being held in Jackson County Jail, where records show he had been booked on June 26 for violating probation on a previous robbery charge. It was unclear if he has an attorney. Oregon State Police Captain Timothy R. Fox said Burda did jobs around the house for Day and his husband. Police declined to provide more details about Burda’s connection to Day, though neighbors say Burda had lived with the elderly couple at their home in southern Oregon. Day, 76, was a founding member of the Mickey Mouse Club for two seasons in the 1950s. — Associated Press

In 1969, Canada’s House of Commons gave final approval to the Official Languages Act, making French equal to English throughout the national government. In 1975, the daytime drama “Ryan’s Hope” premiered on ABC-TV. In 1976, President Gerald R. Ford and the first lady hosted a White House dinner for Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The United States Military Academy at West Point included female cadets for the first time as 119 women joined the Class of 1980.

Top official says Iran ready for higher uranium enrichment By JON GAMBRELL Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — A top aide to Iran’s supreme leader says the Islamic Republic is ready to enrich uranium beyond the level set by Tehran’s 2015 nuclear deal, just ahead of a deadline it set Sunday for Europe to offer new terms to the accord. A video message by Ali Akbar Velayati included him saying that “Americans directly and Europeans indirectly violated the deal,” part of Tehran’s hardening tone with Europe. European parties to the deal have yet to offer a way for Iran to avoid the sweeping economic sanctions imposed by President Donald Trump since he pulled the U.S. out of the accord a year ago, especially those targeting its crucial oil sales. All this comes as America has rushed thousands of troops, an aircraft carrier, nuclear-capable B-52 bombers and advanced fighter jets to the Mideast. Mysterious oil tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, attacks by Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen on Saudi Arabia and Iran shooting down a U.S. military drone have raised fears of a wider conflict engulfing the region. In the video, available Saturday on a website for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Velayati said that increasing enrichment closers to weaponsgrade levels was “unanimously agreed upon by every component of the establishment.” “We will show reaction exponentially as much as they violate it. We reduce our commitments as much as they reduce it,” said Velayati, Khamenei’s

Around the World France’s Macron trying to save Iran nuclear deal by July 15 PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron says he is trying to find a way by July 15 to resume dialogue between Iran and Western partners. Macron’s office said in a statement that the French leader spoke for more than an hour Saturday with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani amid a standoff between Tehran and the U.S. Macron expressed “strong concern about new weakening” of the 2015 accord aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He said they would “explore between now and July 15 conditions for resumed dialogue among all parties.” The statement didn’t elaborate. Europe is struggling to save the 2015 accord after President Donald Trump abandoned it last year. Iran has set a deadline for Sunday for Europe to offer new terms to the accord, and is threatening to accelerate uranium enrichment.

Under the atomic accord, Iran agreed to enrich uranium to no more than 3.67%, which is enough for peaceful pursuits but is far below weapons-grade levels of 90%. Iran denies it seeks nuclear weapons, but the nuclear deal sought to prevent that as a possibility by limiting enrich-

ment and Iran’s stockpile of uranium to 661 pounds. On Monday, Iran and United Nations inspectors acknowledged it had broken the stockpile limit. Combining that with increasing its enrichment levels narrows the one-year window experts believe Iran would need to have enough material to build a nuclear weapon, if it chose to do so. “This would be a very worrisome step that could substantially shorten the time Iran would need to produce the material needed for nuclear weapons,” said Miles Pomper, a senior fellow at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies’ James Marin Center for Nonproliferation Studies. “Both Iran and the Trump administration should be

looking for ways to de-escalate the crisis, rather than exacerbate it.” It remains unclear to what level Iran will choose to up its uranium enrichment. However, Velayati in his remarks made reference to 5% enrichment. “For Bushehr nuclear reactor we need 5% of enrichment and it is a completely peaceful goal,” he said. Bushehr, Iran’s only nuclear power plant, is now running on imported fuel from Russia that’s closely monitored by the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency. Iran stopped producing uranium enriched above 5% in January 2014 amid negotiations for the nuclear deal. Outside of Bushehr, higher-enriched uranium could be used for naval ships and submarines, something Iran has said it would want to pursue. Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said in 2016 that nuclear power plants for naval vessels need uranium enriched to at least 5%. The U.S. said its ambassador to international organizations in Vienna, Jackie Wolcott, had requested a special meeting of the IAEA to discuss its “latest, concerning report on the Iran regime’s nuclear program.” That meeting is planned for Wednesday. Iran’s diplomatic mission to Vienna, where the IAEA is based, called the U.S. move “a sad irony” as America had unilaterally withdrawn from the deal a year ago. Meanwhile Saturday, the hard-line Kayhan newspaper demanded revenge over the seizure of an Iranian oil tanker off Gibraltar that had been heading to Syria. Authorities in Gibraltar said they seized the Grace 1, believed to be carrying over 2 million barrels of oil, over European Union sanctions on Syria — though Spain said the seizure came at the request of the U.S. “Seizure of U.K. oil tanker is the only way to confront pirates of the Queen,” Kayhan blared in a front-page headline, echoing a suggestion Friday by a former Revolutionary Guard chief.

SANAA, Yemen — Yemen’s rebels say they have launched drone attacks targeting two Saudi Arabian airports. The Houthis’ Al-Masirah satellite news channel on Saturday says the rebels, known as Houthis, attacked Saudi airports in Abha and Jizan with Qasef-2K drones. Yahia Sarie, spokesman for the Iran-aligned Houthi forces, said the attacks resulted in the suspension of air traffic in both airports. Saudi Arabia, Yemen’s neighbor to the north, did not immediately comment on the Houthi claim and a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen did not answer calls seeking comment. The Houthis have increasingly used drones to target southern Saudi Arabia, including two recent strikes on the Abha airport, which killed one person and wounded over 30. The Saudi-led coalition’s airstrikes have been internationally criticized for killing civilians.

Patron tackles Australian robber with bar stool, pot plant BRISBANE, Australia — A patron at a hotel on Australia’s Gold Coast has foiled a holdup by attacking the robber with a bar stool and a pot plant. A video release by the Queensland police shows a hooded man enter the Mermaid Beach Hotel in the early hours of Friday morning and threaten a female employee with a machete. While the woman goes behind the counter, a 29-yearold patron picks up a bar stool and throws it at the man, followed by a pot plant. A short time later the robber flees the hotel, chased by the patron. Outside the hotel, the patron tackled the robber, forcing him to drop his cash. The robber managed to escape and is still at large.

El Salvador court absolves 2 ex-presidents in graft case SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — A court in El Salvador has absolved two former presidents and three other defendants of criminal responsibility in the alleged diversion of $10 million donated by Taiwan to help victims of 2001 earthquakes. Tony Saca and Francisco Flores had been accused of money laundering along with three leaders of the conservative Arena party. The court dismissed the criminal case Friday. Saca is already serving a 10-year sentence for the diversion of more than $300 million in government funds to favor his businesses and third parties. In the coming months he is expected to plead guilty to bribing a judicial employee to leak information in a civil trial against him. Flores died in January 2016 under house arrest while awaiting trial on charges including illicit enrichment and misuse of public funds.

Hurricane Barbara weakens to tropical storm in open Pacific MEXICO CITY — Hurricane Barbara weakened into a tropical storm in the open Pacific Ocean far east of Hawaii on Friday. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Barbara’s maximum sustained winds decreased to 60 mph after reaching powerful Category 4 strength earlier this week. The storm’s center was located about 1,330 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii on Friday. The hurricane center forecast Barbara to degenerate further and likely become a remnant low system Saturday as it heads in the general direction of the islands. — Associated Press

Rays beat Yankees on D’Arnaud homer ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Travis d’Arnaud hit a two-out homer off Chad Green in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the Tampa Bay Rays past the New York Yankees 4-3 on Saturday. Aaron Hicks had tied it at 3 in the top of the ninth for the Yankees, homering on a 2-2, two-out pitch from Colin Poche (2-1). D’Arnaud’s winning homer against Green (2-3) into the right-field seats got the Rays back within 7 1/2 games of the AL East-leading Yankees, who had won the first two games of a fourgame series in extra innings. Tampa Bay is 3-9 against New York this season. It was just New York’s third loss in its last 19 games.

Nate Lowe hit a go-ahead two-run homer off CC Sabathia in the seventh that gave Tampa Bay a 3-2 lead. Sabathia went a season-high seven innings, giving up three runs and seven hits. Blake Snell allowed one run and five hits over five innings. He went 2-3 with a 9.64 ERA in six starts last month. Brett Gardner homered in the second for the Yankees.

Oilers drop twin bill to Miners Defense plays role in Friday win, but bats go quiet Saturday By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Sometimes, a struggling team just needs a little confidence boost to send them in the right direction. The Peninsula Oilers looked to be getting that boost after a 2-1 win Friday night over the Mat-Su Miners at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai. However, the Miners showed why they are the three-time defending Alaska Baseball League champions, returning Saturday to sweep the Oilers in a doubleheader with scores of 4-2 and 4-0. The Oilers (10-19) have taken two of five thus far in this six-game home series with the Miners (18-10) to fall nine games behind the ABLleading Anchorage Bucs (189). Friday’s victory was the third win in four games for the Oilers, which held Mat-Su to a single run on just four base hits with stellar pitching and even better defensive play. El Cajon, California, righthander Jake Fenn pitched a one-run game over six innings of dominant work, striking out four while walking one for the Oilers, leaving head

coach Kyle Brown singing his praises. “Mister Fenn and starting pitching was absolutely dominant tonight,” Brown said. “Hats off to him, he set the tone from inning one, and carried it throughout the night.” The dominant pitching extended to the bullpen as well, as Giancarlo Servin and Calvin Farris combined for three innings of scoreless, one-hit baseball. Brown said after putting the right-handed Farris in for the eighth, Farris wanted more. “He basically told me he wants the ball in the ninth,” Brown said. “So we give him the ball in the ninth. When a kid comes in and says he wants the ball, he’s going to keep the ball.” By making quick work of the Miners that helped contribute to a speedy game — the last out came just 2 hours, 5 minutes, after first pitch — the feel of confidence flowed from Fenn to Servin to Farris. After Friday’s game, Farris has given up just two runs over 16 innings of pitching, contributing to a 1.10 ERA and a 21-3 strikeout to walk ratio, among the best in the league. See BALL, page B4

LAS VEGAS — Toronto said farewell to Kawhi Leonard. Miami said hello to Jimmy Butler. The Lakers finally have Anthony Davis. Free agency became real Saturday. The four-team trade that sent Butler to the Heat — with a new $142 million, four-year contract — was one of the first big moves to get done once the league’s offseason moratorium ended. But many of the other massive moves, such as Leonard’s signing with the Los Angeles Clippers and the trade to have Paul George join him, remained in the paperwork stage. Butler acknowledged that his longtime friend, fellow former Marquette star and now-retired Heat guard Dwyane Wade “may have had a little bit of something to do with” his move to Miami. “I don’t think anybody can take over the role that Dwyane Tyrone Wade Jr. had for this organization and for the game of basketball here,” Butler said when asked about taking over as a leader in Miami. “I’m just fortunate and blessed enough to be able to call him a friend, mentor, role model. He’s done so much for me.” There was no real worry about the pending transactions around the league: Some deals, including a few that got agreed upon very quickly when the negotiating window opened June 30, simply needed to be slotted in a certain order to make the NBA’s money rules work. Others could get done as soon as the NBA said at 12:01 p.m. Eastern on Saturday that the new league year was officially underway. “I think it’s going to be a really exciting season,” said Portland’s Damian Lillard, who wasn’t a free agent and won’t be for a long time after signing a $196 million, fouryear extension that could keep him with the Trail Blazers until 2025. “Obviously, it’s exciting to see players change teams. You know people love that.” Not all people. Not always, anyway. Toronto awoke to the news Saturday that two starters from this past season’s NBA champion Raptors — Leonard and Danny Green — were moving on. Leonard picked the Clippers and will sign a $142 million, four-year deal and George will be joining him in a massive trade that will send Danilo Gallinari, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and five draft picks to Oklahoma City in a blockbuster deal that shook up both conferences. Green is joining the Lakers on a two-year deal. “Teams are making moves to win now and that’s obvious,” said Heat forward Meyers Leonard, who left Portland and is part of the four-team Butler deal. “The Clippers, for example, they’re in ‘win-now’ mode. They played well last year in the playoffs. They go and get Kawhi and PG and all these other players. OKC has to be thinking, ‘OK, we just got a ton of draft picks.’ So people are positioning themselves in different ways.” The Clippers and Thunder couldn’t talk about their deal until it was finalized.

On eve of Women’s World Cup final, Rapinoe calls out FIFA By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer

LYON, France — Megan Rapinoe called out FIFA on the eve of the Women’s World Cup title match. Her criticism Saturday ranged from the gap in prize money between the men and women, to scheduling that put the World Cup final on the same day as the Gold Cup final in the United States and the Copa America final in Brazil. Rapinoe and the United States

play the Netherlands on Sunday for the championship. A day earlier, FIFA President Gianni Infantino had announced that he’ll seek to expand the tournament field from 24 to 32 teams and double the prize money for the women. But even doubling the pool from $30 million to $60 million doesn’t diminish the gap with the men’s World Cup prize money, which is set at $440 million for Qatar, up from $400 million in Russia last year. Rapinoe has maintained that

FIFA doesn’t truly care about the women’s game. “If you really care are you letting the gap grow? Are you scheduling three finals on the same day? No, you’re not. Are you letting federations have their teams play two games in the four years between each tournament? No, you’re not,” Rapinoe said. “That’s what I mean about the level of care, you need attention and detail and the best minds that we have in the women’s game, helping it grow every single day.”

Inequity between the men’s and women’s World Cup had been stark since before this year’s tournament started, focused on the prize money and scheduling, but also on the promotion of the event. Asked what would ensure the growth of the game globally following this summer’s tournament, Rapinoe sang the opening refrain from the O’Jays song “For the Love of Money.” “Money, Money, Money, Money. Money from FIFA, money from federations. Money from ad-

vertisers, sponsors, rights-holders, TV. All of that. And obviously not just blindly throwing cash at things, but investing in infrastructure, in training programs and academies for women, in coaching for women. All of it,” she said. “I don’t think you get to the point of having an incredible business by running it on a budget that’s a dollar more than it was last year. You have to make up-front investments and really bet on the future.” Infantino sought to address See FIFA, page B2

Teunissen wins Tour opening stage, Thomas crashes By SAMUEL PETREQUIN and JOHN LEICESTER AP Sports Writer

BRUSSELS — Apart from the celebrations of Eddy Merckx’s first victory at the Tour de France half a century ago, nothing went according to plans on the race opening day. In cycling-mad Belgium, defending champion Geraint Thomas was caught in a crash Saturday and toppled over his handlebars in the finale of the first stage. The race leader’s yellow jersey ended on the shoulders of a relatively unknown rider who switched from zealous teammate to ace sprinter. After the pile-up tore the peloton apart and played havoc with sprinters’ teams, Mike Teunissen posted the biggest win of his career with an unexpected yet remarkable stage win at the expense of former world champion Peter Sagan, the king of sprints in recent years at the Tour. Caleb Ewan, an up-andcoming sprinter, took third place on the finish line in Brussels. The first days of the Tour are always tense and marred by race incidents, and this year’s race is not going to be any different. “The finale was not dangerous,” Teunissen said after an impressive burst of power in the final meters that allowed him to pip Sagan. “It’s only because the riders were nervous that it was dangerous.” The opening day stage could have turned into another nightmare for Thom-

as’ Ineos team, which is already without four-time champion Chris Froome. The British rider was ruled out of the Tour last month after suffering multiple career-threatening injuries at a warmup race. But Thomas escaped unscathed. The former track specialist was riding at the front of the race when the spill occurred and he bumped into barriers. “I’m fine. It was pretty slow by the time I hit them,” he said. “I gave myself enough space and avoided the actual crash but with the barriers there was nowhere to go. The main thing is that it didn’t do any damage. This first week is all about just getting through.” Thomas’s teammate Egan Bernal, another top contender, did not fall but was also held up by the crash. The pair did not lose time as per race regulations because the accident occurred within the final three kilometers. Jakob Fuglsang, another favorite, also hit the tarmac about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the finish in a separate crash. The Astana team leader remounted his bike with blood on his face and right knee, and tears on his jersey. He needed stitches for a cut above his right eye. “I think he’ll be ok,” said Astana team director Alexandre Vinokourov. “First week in the Tour de France is always the most dangerous for the guys.” Teunissen, the first Dutch rider to wear the yellow jersey since Erik Breukink 30 years ago, showed solid

nerves after the second spill took out of contention his Jumbo-Visma teammate Dylan Groenewegen, the team’s best sprinter. Teunissen was initially set to be part of Groenewegen’s leadout train but quickly turned his focus to personal goals once his leader went down. In the slightly uphill section leading to the finish line on the leafy Avenue du Parc Royal, Teunissen perfectly timed his effort to deny Sagan a 12th stage win at the Tour. “I thought all the work we had done for quite a

long time was suddenly gone,” he said. “But I felt good and thought I could maybe achieve a Top 5. I was relaxed, with nothing to lose. I opened up and I had a lot of power. It got me to second position and I saw Sagan was going slower than me. I threw myself at the line. Mission accomplished.” Teunissen did not get carried away with his win, though, and promised to keep working for Groenewegen if he recovers well. “It’s only unfortunate for Dylan, hopefully he is okay and can sprint again in

a few days,” he said. “Still, we have the yellow jersey in our room, it’s really strange but also very nice.” The 194.5-kilometer (120.8-mile) stage had started in a joyful mood in the heart of Brussels, with Merckx greeted by Belgian fans filling the streets as he stood alongside race director Christian Prudhomme in a red open-top car riding in front of the peloton. Leaving Brussels, the 176 Tour competitors started their loop south of the city at a fast tempo as a group of four riders led by Greg Van Avermaet, a one-day

classics specialist from Belgium, immediately formed at the front. The quartet reached the first difficulty of the day — the Muur van Geraardsbergen, a 1.2-kilometer cobbled climb — with a 3-minute lead. Van Avermaet made a point of honor to be first at the top to the delight of home fans cheering him along on the side of the road. Belgian rider Xandro Meurisse, a member of the initial breakaway, was first at the Bosberg, another climb featuring at the Ronde van Vlaanderen classic race.

Rain postpones final July holiday race at Daytona By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Rain spoiled one of NASCAR’s last great traditions when Saturday night’s race at Daytona International Speedway was postponed because of persistent poor weather. The race will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, which helps NBC avoid a head-to-head conflict with the final game of the Women’s World Cup. NASCAR has run at Daytona during the July 4th weekend since 1959 but is abandoning that tradition in a scheduling shake-up next season. Daytona will instead host the regular-season finale in August, while the holiday weekend race will move to Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Weather in part made Daytona amenable to surrendering the holiday weekend — every day since the track opened Thursday has been disrupted by either lightning or rain. Cup qualifying for Saturday night’s race was canceled because lightning in the area prevented NASCAR access to inspect

the cars. The field was set by points, with Joey Logano scheduled to start on the front row alongside Kyle Busch. Rain also delayed Friday night’s Xfinity Series race, won by Ross Chastain, for 2 hours, 35 minutes. Thick dark clouds dumped heavy rain over Daytona most of Saturday afternoon, spoiling the pre-race pomp and circumstances surrounding the proud NASCAR event. From 1959 through 1987, the race ran on July 4 before being moved to the Saturday of the closest weekend. From 1959 through 1997, the race started no later than 11 a.m. The event was moved to prime time in 1998 and heavily promoted as the first under the lights at Daytona. But wildfires across Florida forced that event to be postponed until October. That race aside, no driver remembers anything but racing in Daytona over the long Independence Day weekend. Many have lamented the loss of the event this week because not only does Daytona in the summer mark the mid-

done already probably some time ago,” Infantino said. “But now we have the evidence to do it for women’s football.” Approval to expand the field for the 2023 Women’s World Cup would have to come quickly because bidding is already under way. The 37-member FIFA Council is due to vote for the host next March. Nine countries have expressed in-

point of the NASCAR season, but drivers have used the beach and the birthplace of American stock car racing as an annual holiday getaway that culminates in an intense 400-mile race. But Daytona next year will be the final event for a driver to snag a slot in the playoff field, which means the stakes will be higher and, at nearly six weeks later, perhaps protected from the unpredictable Florida weather. “I think traditions are important and as a sport we stay true to a lot of traditions, but I also think if you don’t change tradition, you’ll always be where you’re at,” Logano said. “When I think about where this race is going to be placed next year, the final race before the playoffs, here we go. There’s a good chance the fastest car and the best teams usually win, but there’s also a good chance that they all crash and someone that doesn’t typically win wins this race. “I think that piece of it, even though it’s not on the Fourth of July and we’re all so used to it being on this weekend, this race being here, but I think where it’s

However, men’s teams in Qatar will see those funds go up to $649 million. FIFA’s cash reserves at the end of 2018 stood at $2.74 billion.

The monumental moment for Chastain’s team argued the failthe Kaulig team didn’t last to the ure was related to race damage, a post-race party. Allmendinger’s claim that was denied during his car was later disqualified for an appeal.

“I understand it’s a very complex problem,” Rapinoe said. “But the resources are there and I think the willingness and the brain power is all there, the people wanting to work in the women’s game and make it as good as we can, it’s all there. It’s just a matter of wanting to do it and caring enough about it, to make it happen. I mean, we’re making a World Cup in Qatar happen.”

Rapinoe did praise the U.S. Soccer federation for its support of the women’s national team. The comments come despite a federal lawsuit the players filed against the federation, accusing it of discrimination and seeking more equitable pay to the men’s team. The two sides are expected to mediate the dispute when the World Cup is over. “We don’t often give

them kudos, but that’s definitely one that I’m willing to give. They back the team in a very strong way and have pushed the game, not only in our country but around the world, to a level that without us, we wouldn’t be here in the world game,” she said. “So I think that they do deserve a tremendous amount of credit for that, and we’ll continue to nudge them forward.”

World Cup: Sweden secures bronze over England By DANIELLA MATAR Associated Press

NICE, France — Kosovare Asllani set Sweden on its way to a 2-1 victory over England for third place in the Women’s World Cup on Saturday night but the midfielder almost didn’t play in the bronze medal match. Asllani was taken off the field on a stretcher during Wednesday’s semifinal loss to the Netherlands following a head injury and was taken to hospital. And the 29-yearold revealed that as late as Friday she was told that she wouldn’t be able to play in the match in Nice. “Yesterday, I got a ‘no’ about

playing from our medical staff. But we did the test again today and it was positive,” an emotional Asllani said. “I felt it was going to take a lot for me to miss this game but I really gave it my all and I feel in every percent of my body that I’ve given it all.” It was a third bronze medal for Sweden, which also finished as the runner-up in 2003. Asllani gave the Swedes the lead in the 11th minute as they took advantage of early struggles by England. Alex Greenwood had plenty of time to clear Fridolina Rolfo’s cross but sent it straight into the path of Asllani, who drilled it into

the bottom right corner. England goalkeeper Carly Telford got a hand on it but couldn’t keep it out of the net. Sweden was up 2-1 when Asllani was substituted out at halftime. “When I got another hit on my head in the first half I felt like, ‘Nah, it’s time for someone else to get in,’” Asllani said. “I’m proud of the team and proud of myself and just everything right now. I got another knock but everything is worth it right now.” Sofia Jakobsson had doubled Sweden’s lead before England got into the game with Fran Kirby halving the deficit in the 31st min-

ute when she cut in from the right, beat her defender and curled in off the base of the left post. Ellen White thought she had tied the score two minutes later but her goal was ruled out after the video review determined there had been a handball. The forward had also had what would have been an equalizing goal ruled out in the semifinal loss to the United States. “I haven’t really seen it back. I’ve got contact but she shoved me, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do,” White said. “I didn’t feel like it touched my arm really. I’ve done everything to try and score the goal. The referee “didn’t really ex-

plain it to me either, which I was frustrated with, but she’s there to make the decision and the decision was that it was handball so I’ve got to take it on the chin. I’m disappointed with a few decisions that has happened but that’s VAR and that’s football so you just got to get on with it,” White said. Had the goal stood, White would have moved to the top of the goal standings in the race for the Golden Boot before Sunday’s final between the United States and the Netherlands. White has scored six goals, the same as Alex Morgan — who has her beaten on assists — and one more than Megan Rapinoe.

The Raptors didn’t have to adhere to such rules. “On behalf of the Raptors, I say a very heartfelt thank you to Kawhi and to Danny, and we send them and their families nothing but good wishes,” Raptors President Masai Ujiri said. “As an organization, the Raptors will focus on the future and continue our pursuit of a second championship.” Davis wasn’t a free agent, but the Lakers’ move to get him surely played a role in plenty of other moves during free agency. The Lakers’ trade for Davis got done Saturday night, and it cost L.A. a ransom. Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, the draft rights to De’Andre Hunter, two firstround picks, a first-round pick swap and cash went to the Pelicans — and then the Lakers had to send Isaac Bonga, Jemerrio Jones, Moritz Wagner and a future secondrounder to Washington. The Wizards sent cash to the Pelicans. “Anthony Davis is arguably the most dominant all-around young player in today’s NBA,” Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka said. “Anthony represents everything we stand for, with his unwavering commitment to excellence both as a person and an athlete. This is a historic moment for the Lakers franchise, and we couldn’t be more proud to have him.” The sign-and-trade that will have Kevin Durant leaving Golden State for Brooklyn as well as Kyrie Irving’s signing with the Nets were both still pending Saturday night. Golden State’s deal to keep Klay Thompson around at nearly $190 million for five years also wasn’t immediately announced, though there would seem to be little rush there. Boston completed a sign-and-trade with Charlotte, a deal to send All-Star Kemba Walker (4 years, $141 million) to the Celtics and Terry Rozier (3 years, $58 million) to the Hornets. “Kemba has excelled in this league for many years while consistently playing at a level among the NBA’s elite,” Celtics President Danny Ainge said. Davis was back for the second straight night at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, alongside James and Lakers guard Kyle Kuzma. James chatted for a couple minutes with Clippers consultant and NBA legend Jerry West — before the Lakers and Clippers met in a summer matchup. Also at summer league were a trio of young Atlanta stars — Kevin Huerter, John Collins and Trae Young. “I’m super excited,” Young said when asked about the moves across the league. “Some of the trades and where people are landing at is just kind of different. It’s kind of a surprise a little bit, but it’s good cause now the league is even more wide open.” Butler left Philadelphia via sign-andtrade for Miami, with Josh Richardson leaving the Heat for Philadelphia. Hassan Whiteside left the Heat for Portland as part of that deal, while Moe Harkless left the Blazers for the Clippers in another part of the same massive trade.

Williams strong in Wimbledon 3rd round game By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Serena Williams walked into her news conference at Wimbledon holding her phone, a cold bottle of water and a statistics sheet that reinforced what was clear from watching her third-round singles victory Saturday: She is as close to being back to her best as she’s been in a while. Williams, hampered for much of this season by injuries or illness, took a step forward against 18th-seeded Julia Goerges, a powerful hitter in her own right who lost to the American in last year’s semifinals at the All England Club. Sure enough, Williams hit serves at up to 120 mph, put in a tournament-best 71 percent of her first serves, never faced so much as one break point and won 6-3, 6-4. “It’s been an arduous year for me,” said Williams, who had competed only 12 times in 2019 until this week, mostly because of a bothersome left knee that finally is painfree. “So every match, I’m hoping to improve tons.” Maybe it was a good thing she played twice Saturday, then. About 4½ hours after getting past Goerges at No. 1 Court, Williams headed out to Centre Court for her much-ballyhooed debut as Andy Murray’s teammate in mixed doubles. Other than one slip near the net when she lost her footing in the first set — she was fine and laughed it off — Williams looked good during the 6-4, 6-1 win against Andreas Mies and Alexa Guarachi, including smacking one serve at 122 mph, equaling the fastest hit in singles by any woman (her, naturally) during the tournament. “Andy and I both love the competition. I know we both want to do well,” Williams said. “We’re not here just for show.” She rarely is. But if Williams is going to win an eighth singles championship at Wimbledon, and a record-tying 24th Grand Slam singles title overall, she will want more performances like the one she gave against Goerges.

Fenn said his fastball powered through the Miners lineup early on, and he later resorted to his changeup and breaking ball to keep Mat-Su off balance. “Pretty much everything was working,” Fenn said, adding that he was happy to pitch well after a tough loss on Thursday. “It’s a building game, hope we keep it going the rest of the season. Brown also praised the defensive work of the Oilers infield, including third baseman Bobby Goodloe, shortstop Skyler Messinger and catcher John Mackay for calling a great game behind the plate. “(Messinger) looked like a freaking big-leaguer with

MARLINS 5, BRAVES 4 ATLANTA (AP) — Yadiel Rivera hit a go-ahead, two-run single in the fifth and Miami beat Atlanta for the second time this season. Caleb Smith (4-4) allowed four runs, three earned, in six innings in his first start since June 6. Sergio Romo gave up a single in the ninth before recording three straight outs for his 16th save in 17 chances as Miami snapped a five-game skid. Ronald Acuña Jr. led off the first inning with his 21st homer. Rookie Austin Riley homered in the second, but the Atlanta offense lost its momentum after a run-scoring single by Nick Markakis in the third gave the Braves a 4-2 lead.

that barehand (throw) up the middle,” Brown said. “Couldn’t ask for better defense.” The bats came through with two runs in the sixth inning to provide just enough offense for the pitching. Paul Steffensen took off from first base on a ground ball by Victor Carlino, who reached on error when MatSu’s Drew Williamson raced to field Carlino’s chopper. That allowed Steffensen to go for third, and when the throw by Miners’ pitcher Brandon Birdsell to catch him sailed wide, Steffensen raced home to tie the game. Later in the inning, Bobby Goodloe knocked in the go-ahead run on an RBI single, but was caught trying to leg out a double. After taking a 2-1 lead, the defense worked its magic to preserve it, including

a spectacular diving catch in centerfield by Steffensen for the second out in the top of the seventh, and a wide stretch at first by Connor McCord on a grounder in the eighth to record the second out of that frame. The Miners scored their lone run in the top of the second on an RBI double by Tanner Carlson. Brown felt the recent spate of progress has him feeling good for the month of July. “The past six games, we’re playing better baseball,” Brown said. “We’re getting better, we’re working up to really hitting a stride.” In Saturday’s twin bill opener, the Miners won 4-2 thanks to a pair of home runs in the top of the fifth from Justin Kirby and Erik Webb.

HOUSTON (AP) — Yuli Gurriel homered for the fourth straight game and Gerrit Cole pitched seven scoreless innings before two relievers completed the four-hitter as Houston beat Los Angeles. Gurriel’s solo shot extended Houston’s lead to 3-0 in the sixth and gave him a 10-game hitting streak and the longest stretch of consecutive games with home runs in his career. Cole (9-5) scattered three hits over seven innings while striking out nine to win his fifth straight decision. Ryan Pressly allowed one hit in the eighth and Collin McHugh struck out the side in the ninth to help Houston to its sixth win in seven games.

Mat-Su starter George Arias held the Oilers to two runs on five hits over five innings of work, striking out two and walking three. Jacob McNairy came on to nail down his ABL-leading seventh save of the summer. Jake Adams took the hard-luck loss for the Oilers, giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits and three walks over four innings, while whiffing two. Jacob Reed finished the last three frames in relief with

two runs given up on four hits and one walk. Goodloe and Travis Bohall both hit 2 for 4 to lead the Oilers, which cut the Miners’ lead to 2-1 in the fourth on a sac fly by Camden Vasquez. However, the Miners punched back with the two solo homers. In game two Saturday, Blake Peyton had a nohitter going before being pulled after four innings of work for the Miners. Peyton struck out four and walked two before relinquishing the mound after 59 pitches

thrown. Wasilla product Nolan Monaghan finished off the win with three shutout innings of relief, whiffing three and giving up two hits to complete the pitching masterpiece. Peninsula’s only two base hits came courtesy of Bohall, who went 2 for 3 on the day.

CHICAGO — Remember the U.S. men’s soccer team? It’s also playing for a trophy on Sunday, taking on Mexico at Soldier Field in the final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean. Gone from the national sports consciousness since its October 2017 loss at Trinidad and Tobago ended a streak of seven straight World Cup appearances, the men’s program is trying to regroup under new coach Gregg Berhalter.

The American women play the Netherlands in France at 11 a.m. EDT, chasing their fourth world championship, and they are livid they have to share the spotlight with the Copa America final between host Brazil and Peru at 4 p.m. and the U.S. men seeking their seventh Gold Cup title at 9:15 p.m. “I look at it differently. I think that this is an opportunity to be Soccer Day in America,” Berhalter said. “When you think about the opportunity for the women to win the World Cup in the morning and then you get to I think party for half the afternoon, then you get to take a little nap, and then you get up, you go to the game and you en-

joy the final of Gold Cup.” The men have outscored opponents 15-1 in five matches, while the women have a 24-3 advantage in six. “Our whole focus is on us,” forward Jordan Morris said. “We’re wishing them all the best, of course, and we want them to win the championship, as well, but we don’t think about that too much, just really what we can do to come out and win our game.” He would have preferred not to play on the same day. “Ideally I guess that would be great that they get their own focus being in a World Cup final and we’ll get our own and Copa America gets their own,” Morris said.

As a youngster, I never could get my fill of maraschino cherries. That is, until the day I got my hands on a whole jar of them, sat down with a spoon and proceeded to finish them off. I haven’t put another maraschino cherry in my mouth since that sitting. So I can only rely on memory when I say that home-grown cherries taste much better. And home-grown cherries encompass more than just the flavour of Bing, one of the most common varieties of sweet cherry offered fresh in markets this time of year. Bing is one of the many Bigarreau-type sweet cherries that make good commercial fruits because of their firmness. There’s another whole category of sweet cherries know as Heart (or Gean) cherries that are notable for their soft flesh and heart shape. Black Tartarian is a Heart cherry that would be good to try in the backyard. Birds, of course, love all sweet cherries, so be prepared to sacrifice part of the crop to them insects and disease will likewise take their toll.

MORE KINDS OF CHERRIES

WILD AND SEMI-WILD, SOME TASTY We’re finished here with the cherries you might find in supermarkets, but not with cherries you could grow. Some are barely edible, such as wild black cherry, whose wood makes wonderful lumber, and chokecherry. Western sand cherry is a relatively small bush whose fruit is not edible “straight up,” but reputedly makes great jam. I’ve never made jam from my sand cherries but thoroughly enjoy just looking the shrub. The stems are enveloped in small, white blossoms in spring, and then are adorned throughout summer by glossy, bluish green leaves that turn salmon pink in autumn. For the cherry that offers a little of everything, I recommend Nanking cherry. The fruit is tasty right off the bush and usually borne in such abundance that birds can’t make a dent in the crop. Those fruits are preceded by oodles of white flowers, and after the leaves have fallen, the shiny, peeling, copper-colored bark is pretty to look at. Nanking cherry can take any amount of cold and heat, and demands no attention to pests or pruning. Almost any of the cherries mentioned here could be made into maraschino cherries. Maraschinos were once made from a type of sour cherry called Marascas, but these days are made from any firm, sweet cherry, usually yellow varieties, but also under-ripe varieties that would have ripened to red. If you want to try making your own maraschinos, boil some cherries in a 2-to-1 mixture of sugar and water, then add some red dye and almond extract. Another recipe calls for soaking the fruit, refrigerated, in a cider vinegar solution followed by a soak in sugar solution then add the red dye and almond extract. I think I’ll pass, once again, on maraschino cherries.

Clickety clack, let’s look back: Typewriters return

There are many types of sweet or tart cherries you can grow

Tart cherries are easier to grow than sweet cherries. Some varieties grow on smaller trees, so could be netted against birds. In contrast to most varieties of sweet cherry, tart cherries do not need cross-pollination. So an isolated tree will bear fruit. Tart cherries also are more cold-hardy than sweet cherries and somewhat more resistant to pests. Northstar is a good variety of tart cherry to grow. There’s yet another kind of cherry, little known on this side of the Atlantic but quite popular across that big “pond” — a natural hybrid of sweet and tart cherries. Duke cherries, as these are called, exhibit intermediate characteristics between their parents in both fruit and tree.

For most of us, the clickety clack of a manual typewriter — or the gentler tapping of the IBM Selectric — are but memories, or something seen only in movies. But at the few remaining typewriter repair shops in the country, business is booming as a younger generation discovers the joy of the feel and sound of the typewriter — and older generations admit they never fell out of love with it. “What’s surprising to me is that the younger generation is taking a liking to typewriters again,” says Paul Schweitzer, 80, owner and operator of the Gramercy Typewriter Co., founded by his father in 1932. He now works alongside his son, Jay Schweitzer, 50, and — this summer — a grandson, Jake. Vintage typewriters are sent for repair and restoration daily from around the country, Schweitzer says. Demand is so great that early this year, the family finally opened their own store, in New York City. Other surviving shops include Berkeley Typewriter and California Typewriter, both in Berkeley, Califor-

nia, and also founded in the 1930s. Gramercy sold dozens of old typewriters over the holiday season, Schweitzer says. Two recent documentaries, “The Typewriter (In The 21st Century)” (2012) and “California Typewriter” (2016), featuring collector Tom Hanks, have helped popularize vintage typewriters among young people, who also have a soft spot for other analog technologies like vinyl records and fountain pens. At one time, Schweitzer says, there were six pages of typewriter repair listings in the New York City phone book (which also hardly exists anymore). Schweitzer, who also services HP laser printers, still packs up his leather typewriter-repair bag and heads out on jobs at offices around the city, seeing to sticky keys and shredded ribbons. But these days, he sees to just a handful of typewriters in any given office, as opposed to years ago, when he visited offices with as many as 700 typewriters, one at each desk. “A lot of law firms and accounting firms still have typewriters in their offices. They have computers, too, but there are always times

when typewriters come in handy,” he says. They are convenient for smaller jobs, like addressing envelopes, and there are times you just want something done quickly and in triplicate. The American Writers Museum, in Chicago, features a popular section with seven manual typewriters and an electric typewriter that visitors can try out. “Typing for the first time is exciting, especially for younger people,” says Carey Cranston, president of the museum, which now features an exhibit with 16 typewriters used by famous writers like Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, Maya Angelou and John Lennon. “With a pen or pencil you can distract yourself by doodling, and of course on a computer it’s easy to find distractions. But a typewriter was invented specifically for writing. There are no distractions. It’s just you and the page,” Cranston says. Students who visited the museum on a field trip were so enamored with the typewriters that they started their own typewriter club, and Cranston says he’ll never forget the reaction of one fifth-grader discovering typewriters for the first time.

“Wow, this is great! It’s an instant printer!” he exclaimed. Ellen Lupton, senior curator in contemporary design at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, which has an array of typewriters in its collection, says, “There’s an irresistible tactility to typing on a typewriter, a satisfying sound, a feeling of authentic authorship. No one can spy on you and there are no distractions,” she says. She notes that typewriters’ legacy can be seen in smart phone and computer keyboards. The “shift” key, for instance, was originally meant to literally shift the position of a typewriter key, to a capital letter from a lower-case one. The return key (or lever, on manual typewriters) originally returned the carriage into position for the next line. “And we’re still stuck with the QWERTY keyboard — even on phones — which was supposedly designed to prevent keys from sticking together when someone is typing quickly,” Lupton says. While early typewriters of the late 19th century were designed purely for function, “by the ’20s and ’30s they’d become quite stylish,” Lupton says. “We have quite a few very stylish Italian typewriters in our collection. They’re very chic, with wonderful geometry and unusual lines. Olivetti was a big producer of office equipment and they are really invested in design,” says Lupton. “Another reason for the appeal must surely be the beautiful and authentic appearance of a typewritten page.” It’s common for typewriters to allow for typing in red and black, and to feature a “ribbon reverse” function to maximize use of the ink ribbon by running it in the opposite direction once it reaches the end of the spool. And as with every tool, there are tricks to using a typewriter. To save on the number of keys, there is generally no number “1” on older keyboards (a lower case “L” suffices), and to make an exclamation point, a period is simply topped with an apostrophe. The “cent” key seems decidedly quaint today.

Hello, yellow: Home decor’s upbeat hue should be used right By Kim Cook The Associated Press

If ever a colour were to be associated with an emotion (OK, blue, we see you), it’s got to be yellow. Upbeat and welcoming, it’s a hue that’s easy to love. But it can be tricky to use when decorating. Bold yellows are eyecatching, but colour experts advise caution. Unless you’re prepared to live with bright yellow’s peppy assertiveness, softer, creamier versions might be more prudent choices. Will Taylor, founder of the colour blog Bright.Bazaar and an interior design expert at Marshalls, loves yellow in all its iterations. “To me, it’s happiness personified,” he says. “As soon as I see it, I feel joy.” Better Homes & Gardens Style Director Jessica Thomas calls yellow “sunshine in a can.” And Dee Schlotter, senior colour marketing manager for PPG Paints , says yellow is often seen as the signature hue for “happy.” “Bright, energizing yellows are known to enhance

the mind and help creativity flow,” she says. “We saw ‘Gen Z yellow’ bubble to the surface last year, with colours like Crushed Pineapple reflecting the optimism and boldness of that generation.” Schlotter says yellow was a close runner-up for PPG’s 2019 Color of the Year. Night Watch, a moody green-gray, ultimately took the title, but Golden Field — a dramatic mustard yellow — was a strong second. A tip when you’re in the paint store: “We recommend first looking at the bottom colour on the paint swatch to find the root of the yellow,” Schlotter says. “For example, if the bottom colour is green, the yellow at the top of the card will have subtle hints of green infused into it.” Go two or three shades lighter than you think you want if you’re painting a room. And “warmer yellows tend to work better on walls,” Schlotter says. “Brighter variations are perfect on a front door, as an accent wall in a bedroom, or in a dining room

to provide a rich, striking look.” Taylor’s got some favourite yellow paints, including Dayroom Yellow from Farrow & Ball , Bicycle Yellow from Behr , and Hawthorn Yellow from Benjamin Moore . “Yellow’s the queen of accent colours,” he says. “It goes with neutrals to blacks and blues. Think of adding pops of yellow across art, pillows, throws and flowers. It will instantly add visual interest, giving the eye a place to land, and it prevents a room from feeling flat.” Lemon motifs and prints are a fresh, fun way to bring the colour home. “Lemon print wallpaper in a bathroom or closet is a cheerful way to add yellow,” Taylor says. “Every time you step in it will make you smile.” Check out Spoonflower , Etsy and Walls Need Love for lemon-y wallpapers that range in style from realistic to retro. Marshalls has some festive, lemon-printed melamine serveware that would add zest to sum-

mer parties. For more dressed-up get-togethers, Williams-Sonoma has porcelain plates decorated with Meyer lemons and framed with a vintage-look botanical border. Ballard Designs offers Sunbrella fabric by the yard with a pretty lemon-and-leaf print that would be great on patio pillows or cushions there are faux lemon branches here as well, to tuck in a vase or basket. Kitchenaid’s buttercup yellow mixer is a softer version of the hue, while Chantal’s sunny yellow Anniversary tea kettle is a waker-upper. If you’d really like to commit, consider a piece of yellow furniture, or even an appliance. All Modern has wellpriced upholstered seating, with clean-lined silhouettes that let the colour take centre stage. West Elm’s got a set of velvet curtains and a distressed rug in a hue called wasabi that has a golden tone. Bertazzoni and SMEG stock equipment like stoves, fridges and range hoods in fresh yellows.

Ready for more? Scandinavian manufacturer Vola has marked its 50th anniversary by releasing Arne Jacobsen’s original 1968 designed bath faucet in a rainbow of colours, and a kicky yellow is one of them.

Or put the wild on the walls, with glass subway, mosaic or free-form ceramic tiles from Modwalls . Even the names are as fun as this colour: Daffodil Sunflower Limoncello.

Show of hands on immigrant health care belies a thorny issue

In this June 27 photo, Democratic presidential candidates raise their hands when asked if they would provide healthcare for undocumented immigrants, during the Democratic primary debate in Miami. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee) By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In one unanimous show of hands, Democratic presidential candidates moved the idea of full health insurance for people who are not legally in the United States into the political mainstream. That debate night moment last week symbolized the party’s move to the left heading into a primary in which most candidates are trying to appeal to the progressive base. President Donald Trump immediately jumped on it to paint Democrats as extreme. Even if Democrats win the White House and both

chambers of Congress, coverage for unauthorized immigrants would mean reversing long-standing restrictions in the government’s main health insurance programs and a heated political battle — more so should Republicans retain Senate control. The issue has been considered so politically sensitive that the “Medicare for All ” bills in Congress don’t explicitly say they’d cover immigrants here without legal permission. Instead legislation from Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and a House counterpart calls for covering every U.S. “resident” and delegating the nation’s health to define that term. The Senate bill has been endorsed by several

of Sanders’ rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, including Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. Debating in Miami last week, Democrats argued that all Americans would be better off if everyone in the country had medical care. They pointed out that most immigrants are working and paying taxes that support programs such as Medicare and Social Security. “You cannot let people who are sick, no matter where they come from, no matter what their status, go uncovered,” former Vice

Half of U.S. adults should monitor blood pressure at home, study says American Heart Association News

Some people go to the doctor and find the intake so nerve-wracking their blood pressure spikes. Others find the routine relaxing, as they’re asked to rest for a moment and breathe easy before a blood pressure cuff is wrapped around their arm. People with borderline hypertension in both categories should confirm the readings by measuring their blood pressure outside their health care provider’s office, according to new research published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension. Nearly 93% of U.S. adults who have high blood pressure when measured in their doctor’s office and don’t take blood pressure medicine meet the criteria for “white coat hypertension” because their blood pressure is in an acceptable range when re-measured outside a medical setting. Meanwhile, about a third of U.S. adults experience “masked hypertension” because their blood pressure levels measured outside of the doctor’s office are more problematic than measurements at the doctor’s office. “For some people, a doctor’s office is a place they’re relaxed,” said Paul Muntner, an epidemiologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the study’s senior author. “They are away from job stress, traffic and family issues.” Others, he said, get anxious they are about to get bad news about their blood pressure — or something worse. Their readings in the doctor’s office cause concern whereas measuring in a more familiar setting would cause less stress. In either case, the study used the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines to

determine that as many as 104 million Americans routinely should use a blood pressure machine at home to provide backup for — or a contrast with — the results from their visit to the doctor’s office. People are considered to have high blood pressure if their systolic, or top number, is 130 or higher and their diastolic, or bottom number, is 80 or higher. Measuring blood pressure outside of a medical setting doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult. Many pharmacies or grocery stores have blood pressure machines customers can use for free. Reliable home versions with an electronic inflatable cuff can be found at local drug stores for less than $50, and Muntner said the device should be one that already has been tested and validated. Other options, such as ambulatory blood pressure machines, can be more involved. Those provide readings throughout the day and night and can flag hypertension while people are asleep. But the sheer size of the population the study suggests should be measuring their blood pressure at home could make it a daunting task to achieve, said Dr. Raymond R. Townsend, who was not associated with the study. “How many people would be well served by out-of-office blood pressure monitoring? My answer would be virtually anybody,” said Townsend, who heads up the high blood pressure program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. “I think that’s a little ambitious.” The study concedes there are barriers to widespread blood pressure monitoring at home: patient compliance, accuracy of the results, out-of-pocket costs of the device and the time needed to instruct patients on how

to take their blood pressure. What is not subject to debate is the importance of controlling hypertension. The consequences of unmanaged high blood pressure can include heart disease, stroke and organ damage. And, Muntner said, the study makes a case that there is a benefit to getting more people to check their blood pressure on their own. “For individual patients, hopefully it means people will be more engaged with their own health care and not just when they go to the doctor’s office.” If you have questions or comments about this story, please email editorheart.org.

President Joe Biden said. Biden’s approach calls for building on the Obamaera law he helped to pass, which now denies benefits to immigrants living in the country without permission. It wouldn’t be a freebie, argued South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has talked about a buyin plan. “They pay sales taxes, they pay property taxes directly or indirectly,” Buttigieg said. “This is not about a handout. This is an insurance program.” Other Democrats say program design could lead to broader public acceptance. “If it is clear that they are paying for it, they could be getting basic care and avoid being in the emergency room at taxpayer expense,” said Rep. Ro Khanna, DCalif. Trump all but thanked the 10 Democrats on the debate stage. “All Democrats just raised their hands for giving millions of illegal aliens unlimited healthcare,” he wrote on Twitter. “How about taking care of American Citizens first!? That’s the end of that race!” A CNN poll raised a warning flag that echoed Trump’s dismissive tweet: Among all Americans, 59% were opposed, while 38% were in favor. But Democrats had a different view. Roughly 6 in 10 Democratic voters for government health insur-

ance coverage for people in the country illegally. The poll also highlighted a generational difference. Democrats under 45 supported coverage by 70% to 29% while those 45 and older were more closely divided, 55% to 41%. For now, flagship federal health programs remain off limits to all but U.S. citizens and legal residents. That includes Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance and the Obama-era Affordable Care Act. Congress even forbade unauthorized immigrants to buy ACA coverage with their own money. America doesn’t slam the door completely. Federally funded community health centers provide basic medical care to the uninsured without asking immigration questions. Hospital emergency rooms are required by law to treat and stabilize all patients, with government subsidizing the cost. Some states, like California, use their own funds to cover children regardless of immigration status. Of the 10 million to 11 million immigrants in the country without legal permission, many appear to have private coverage. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that roughly 4 million people are uninsured because of immigration status, while the Migration Policy Institute has a higher number, nearly 6 million. Both are nonpartisan research organizations. Opponents of covering

unauthorized immigrants say it will only encourage more migration — a potential problem supporters of the idea have acknowledged. The Medicare for All bills call for measures to deter immigration for the “sole purpose” of getting free medical care. “Adopting subsidized major health care programs for illegal aliens serves as the ultimate ‘pull factor’ for migrants and would exacerbate our nation’s border crisis,” said R.J. Hauman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which supports curbs on immigration. Cost is another factor. Hauman said it would be a new “multi-billion dollar” expense for taxpayers. However, independent experts at the Kaiser Foundation and Migration Policy say there’s no authoritative number because the question hasn’t been rigorously researched. Randy Capps, a senior researcher with the Migration Policy Institute, said immigrants living in the country illegally are generally a younger population, so bringing them into the private insurance system could also help with costs. “Undocumented immigrants are disproportionately young and healthy,” Capps said. “From the point of view of providing preventive and primary care to a large group of people who are younger and healthier now but might get sicker later, it makes sense.”

Dementia tied to hormone-blocking prostate cancer treatment By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO — Alzheimer’s disease may be a risk for older prostate cancer patients given hormone-blocking treatment, a large, U.S. governmentfunded analysis found. Previous evidence has been mixed on whether the treatment might be linked with mental decline. But experts say the new results stand out because they’re from a respected national cancer database and the men were tracked for a long time — eight years on average. Among 154,000 older patients, 13% who received hormone-blocking treatment developed Alzheimer’s, compared with 9% who had other treatment or chose no therapy, the study found. The risk for dementia from strokes or other causes was higher: It was diagnosed in 22% of those who got hormone-blocking treatment, versus 16% of the other patients. The results, using perhaps one of the largest and most reliable databases, suggests there truly may be a connection, said Dr. Sumanta Pal, a prostate cancer expert with the American Society of Clinical Oncology. Pal was not involved in the study. The analysis from University of Pennsylvania researchers was published Friday in JAMA Network Open.

The results aren’t proof but experts say they underscore the importance of discussing potential risks and benefits when choosing cancer treatment. The researchers analyzed data from a National Cancer Institute database of cancer cases and treatment and covers almost 30% of the U.S. population. The study focused on men in their 70s, on average, with local or advanced prostate cancer diagnosed between 1996 and 2003. They were followed until 2013. Medicare records indicated dementia or Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Hormone-blocking treatment can include testes removal to reduce levels of testosterone, which fuels prostate cancer growth. But it more typically involves periodic drug injections or implants that achieve the same result. Most U.S. men who receive this treatment are in their 70s or older. It’s sometimes used in men who might not be healthy enough to tolerate other cancer treatments including surgery to remove the prostate and radiation. It’s unclear how the treatment might be linked with mental decline. The researchers noted that it can lead to diabetes,

which also has been linked with dementia — perhaps because blood vessel damage from diabetes can restrict blood flow to the brain. Hormone treatment also raises risks for heart disease and depression, which both have been linked with dementia. Researcher Grace LuYao of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia, said the potential dementia risks from hormone-blocking treatment may outweigh any benefit for younger, healthier patients with longer expected life spans. While the study doesn’t prove that the treatment causes dementia, she said, it is important to tell patients “because of the potential impact of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia on the quality of life of patients and their family.” She was not involved in the study. ——— Follow AP Medical Writer Lindsey Tanner at LindseyTanner. ——— The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

Shady characters Have you noticed that everyone you see these days has a tattoo? When I was a kid the only people with tattoos were sailors, and maybe a few other military men. The only place you’d see a female with one was in National Geographic where we kids often went for our sociological information and all anatomy lessons. By the time I was a teenager the biker gangs (who were returning military for the most part) brought tattoos into public view but no mainline male had one (or at least the public never saw it if he did). They weren’t for the straight folks. Now your banker, your doctor, everyone on T.V. and even your granddaughter (!!!) has one. That stereotype has become so cliché we have to find another way to characterize the people we see. Isn’t it funny how we classify people, right or wrong!! I used to go to a lot of movies. Back in the day (way back) you immediately knew who was who. Remember Snidely Whiplash, the cartoon villain in the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons your kids watched? He was the cartoon take-off on the old-time villains from really early stage plays and movies. The minute you saw the handlebar mustache and black stovepipe hat you knew to boo and hiss. That characterization carried over into movies, although maybe not so blatantly, but in the old westerns if a man had a mustache and a black hat you knew eventually he’d prove to be the bad guy. The good guys were always clean shaven (except for the wise old codger who had a big unruly white beard) and wore the white hat. Even if he started out as a nebulous character, if he had a white hat you knew he was on the right side. This occurred to me because a friend is writing a book and we were talking about characterization. It used to be easy to pinpoint who a character was in movies and books. The blonde pageboy (think Doris Day) was the ‘good girl.’ The female with the dark windblown hair was the “loose woman” and if she had a cigarette, most certainly the villainess. Redheads were a little more ambiguous. She could be the buddy of the blonde or the instigator with the brunette. It might take a minute to pinpoint her place, but if she was wearing high heels, or a revealing blouse she was on the wrong side. Redheaded men, however, were usually the comic foil, or the placeholder, the character who rehashed the plot when necessary, and often was destined to be killed midway to build animosity for the bad guys. Somewhere in the ’50s along came Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell, and more realistic movies and the simple life changed. James Dean and Clint Eastwood were harder to pigeonhole (neither one had a mustache) and bad boys were all at once the heroes. Because, of course, they were never really too bad. Remember Zorro!! (or Rowdy Yates??) It’s probably good that we tend to take everyone at face value these days. Where I grew up in very small farming/logging communities in the PNW, we pretty well knew everyone in two counties, so stereotyping was not so common. You either liked someone or not, but it didn’t have anything to do with the color of their hair or what they wore to school. We had other criteria: They took our bus seat or called us a sissy. Maybe even something really serious like they broke our last pencil. And you would probably like them again in a day or two. The only ones who might be labeled were the preacher’s kids and the teacher’s kids. But they soon lived down or up to their expected place in our society and rightfully earned their label. But back to the tattoos. I never wanted one, probably because of the stigma in my formative years. One of the lessons I learned from my mom was you aren’t being different if you are doing what everyone else is doing (That didn’t keep me from getting a poodle skirt, but made me reconsider a couple of other less benign decisions). Since they have become so common, I tend to not notice tattoos unless they’re really provocative. I keep visualizing these perfect 20-year-old tattooed bodies in 50 years … But maybe tattoos have helped us make a major social step. Kids today don’t see the artificial differences that were set up as a barrier many generations ago: Social standing, race, gender, even community. And that’s a good thing! Most of my friends today are also more inclusive than they were allowed to be in their younger lives without even noticing it happened. And that is also a good thing! (You CAN teach an old dog new tricks). As for the tattooed granddaughter just call me T. Rex!

Meet the Clarion: Pressman Sean Jones By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion

Sean Jones is on his seventh year and counting with the Peninsula Clarion while working with the production team in the press room. “While coordinating with others as part of a team, the production department operates and maintains the printing press with the goal of producing a high quality newspaper by a given deadline,” Jones said of his role with the paper. Jones was born and raised on the Kenai Peninsula, graduating from Nikiski High School in 2008. “My favorite part of growing up was helping my dad with his fishing guide business,” he said. “It was a lot of work, but in exchange we got to go whitewater rafting all over Alaska. We had some really cool adventures.” One of his favorite memories of an adventure was heading to Haines with his family on a road trip. “We drove all the way there and back in my dad’s old Suburban stuffed with

camping gear, towing a trailer with two rafts. We camped all along the way, went rafting down a bunch of different rivers. That trip really stuck with me,” he said.

This summer, Sean is looking forward to spending more time fishing with his dad whenever he’s not working.

The Recycling Bin Don’t throw away old electronics Your worn-out electronic devices can be recycled year-round at Total Reclaim in Anchorage. In 2010, Americans threw away approximately 52 million cellphones. Had they been recycled, those cell phones could have yielded 5.4 million pounds of copper and 11,400 pounds (yes, pounds) of gold. Imagine what we lost when so many other electronic devices were not recycled. How can we justify destroying invaluable pristine habitat in order to mine these materials? Recycle electronics year-round at Total Reclaim, 12101 Industry Way, off Huffman Road, between the Old and New Seward Highways. Information provided by ReGroup, a nonprofit organization of volunteers formed in 1989 to develop public awareness and participation in the benefits of waste reduction, reuse and recycling on Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula.

Visit Mount Rushmore

Native people

Mini Fact:

Native Americans in the area considered the Black Hills sacred ground. Mount Rushmore was one of seven sites in the Black Hills that they thought was especially holy. In 1868, the U.S. government forced the Lakota people out of the Black Hills and onto reservations. These people considered the carving of their sacred mountain into sculptures of white leaders’ faces to be an insult. Today the National Park Service seeks to honor all cultures visiting the monument. Near the visitors’ center, Lakota interpreters talk about their life and the Black Hills. A private group is currently carving a memorial of the Indian leader Crazy Horse on land about 17 miles from Mount Rushmore.

Each of the presidents’ heads is 60 feet high from the chin to the top of the head and 40 feet wide. photos courtesy National Park Service

A monumental project

Mount Rushmore, a giant sculpture of four presidents, is at the top of a mountain towering about a quarter mile above the main viewing area. The sculptor, Gutzon Borglum (GUT-son BOR-glum), sculpted the faces of the four presidents he thought did the most to make our country great: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. Work began in 1927 and continued for 14 years. When Borglum died suddenly in early 1941, his son, Lincoln, took over and finished the project.

Carving the sculpture

Before he began the mountain sculpture, Borglum made smaller plaster models. Then he marked the mountain in red paint to show how many inches of rock workers needed to remove. The workers then blasted it away. About 90 percent of the sculpture was carved by using dynamite. About 450,000 tons of rock were removed. Workers next drilled to get to the final face, putting on the last touches with a

hammer and chisel. The rock was then smoothed over. About 400 workers helped carve the mountain. Most were miners, ranchers, farmers and teachers who lived in the area. They worked, dangling from harnesses, in weather ranging from hot 90-degree summers to days of 25 to 30 degrees below zero in winter. No worker was seriously injured during the whole project.

photos by Mike Tigas

In the 1920s, South Dakota state historian Doane Robinson got the idea that carving a sculpture in the Black Hills would attract visitors to the remote and thinly populated state — and bring in money, too. He was right. Today about 2.5 million visitors travel to Mount Rushmore each year.

This model shows what Crazy Horse Memorial will look like when it is finished. You can see the actual sculpture, still underway, in the background.

A National Park Service worker dangles in a safety harness to power-wash George Washington’s head. Each fall, park employees inspect and repair cracks with a special sealing mixture. Water collects in cracks in the mountain. Each cold South Dakota winter, the water freezes. In spring, the ice melts. This cycle of freezing and thawing causes the cracks to get bigger.

Resources

Choosing faces

On the Web:

Borglum first planned to carve three presidents: Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson. When he realized there was room for one more president, Roosevelt was chosen because Borglum thought he helped working people and the environment.

The population of hybrid wild pigs has exploded across several Canadian provinces during the past 30 years, according to a new study by the University of Saskatchewan. The porcine pests are a cross between domestic pigs and wild boar that were imported from Europe in the late 1980s to diversify Canadian livestock. Others were imported for sport hunting. Those that escaped into the wild have become the most productive invasive mammal species in Canada. adapted with permission from Earthweek.com

The dog can climb the ramp more easily than having to lift each foot up onto a step. The ramps are available from major online retailers.

Jaqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, July 7, 2019: This year, you open many new doors -- or so you think. When you decide to pass through one of them, you might discover a fundamental misunderstanding. This experience might only happen once, but it will occur. If single, you could meet someone who is endearing and special. You still might have difficulty deciding what you want from this person.

Dear Readers: We love to pamper our pooches, get their ears cleaned and nails clipped (and polished?), possibly a gland expression and a sudsy scrub, rinse, blowdry and hair bow. But when it comes to dog grooming, how much do you know about your DOG GROOMER? Formal training and licensure may not be required in your state; many dog groomers learn on the job only. Read online reviews, and ask for recommendations from your friends and people you trust. Research thoroughly before you hire a dog groomer. Drop in and observe the groomers in action and ask questions. Only allow your dog to be groomed if you feel comfortable. The majority of dog groomers are responsible and skilled professionals.

Sisters grow tired of nonstop talker’s restricted repertoire DEAR ABBY: My sister is driving me and our other sister nuts. There are five years between the three of us. We are all seniors who live in the same city and have always been close. Abby, the oldest talks nonstop. It was always a family joke, but it’s gotten worse. Now she interrupts people to tell her story (after all, everything is all about her). A cousin we hadn’t seen in several years came to town, and we all had dinner. Not once did my sister ask, “Why are you in town, how are you doing, your family, etc.?” She just talked and talked about herself and her family. It’s no longer a joke; she is just plain rude. It’s getting difficult to be around her. How do we stop her outlandish behavior without hurting her feelings?

Remembering baby they lost is an annual ritual for couple DEAR ADRIANNE: I’m glad you wrote. I appreciate your reminding me that there are many ways to grieve. If it brings comfort to those who have suffered a loss, no judgment should be passed. I apologize to any and all grieving parents who Abigail Van Buren were affected by my answer because it’s clear that my response caused hurt feelings, and for that I am truly sorry. DEAR ABBY: I’m a professional, independent female in my early 40s. I’m not sure how to handle a friend I’ve known for nearly 10 years. She’s beautiful, with a magnetic personality, but she has a terrible habit of lying and embellishing about things big and small, inconsequential and serious. There have been times I’ve been appalled by the enormity of her lies, and embarrassed for her when someone indicates they’re aware that what she’s said isn’t true. I have gently reminded her more than once that it’ll catch up to her and encouraged her to be honest. She persists.

My problem: A few years ago, when she expressed a desire to “expand her circle,” she incorporated some of my closest friends and their friends. Boundaries have been blurred and the need to impress others (lie, greatly exaggerate) has grown worse. These new friends are drawn to her dynamic personality, yet I can no longer stomach her rampant dishonesty. Will I possibly lose or damage other relationships by ending my friendship with her? Should I label her a liar and watch her react? I don’t know if this friendship can be salvaged or if I even want to. -- SICK TO MY STOMACH DEAR SICK: You don’t have to make any grand announcements regarding this poor woman. Stepping back from a relationship with a compulsive liar should not damage your other friendships. People will soon recognize her for what she is, and will likely follow your example. If, however, you are ASKED why you no longer socialize with her, I think you should quietly answer the question truthfully. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 8, 2019: This year, you’ll be fiery and verbal at the same time. Others will know where you’re coming from -- without any doubt. You could often feel conflicted, wanting peace but needing controversy, or you could be more authentic. If single, you could experience more ups and downs while trying to develop a viable relationship. Look to 2020 for this possibility. If you’re attached, you and your partner could be more reactive than you have been in the recent past. You might become aware that you say one thing but do another, thereby creating conflict. LIBRA always tries to keep the peace. 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 You might feel pressure that’s coming from various fronts. You feel as though you need to handle these various sectors of your life. Open up discussions. Ask yourself whether you sometimes need pressure or an argument to motivate you. Tonight: Make dinner an easy happening. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You’re likely to do exactly what you feel, which will surprise many different people. Be prepared for an equally candid response. You could be stunned by what you hear. At the same time, someone feisty is opening a door into how he or she views life. Tonight: Visit with a pal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Curb a need to splurge. Handle a personal matter differently. You have the ability to get past a problem with ease; just tap into your creativity and imagination. What you come up with could delight many people. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Emphasize a domestic or personal issue. You might not feel as comfortable as you normally do. Once a conversation starts, you might be surprised by how at ease you feel. Please note that discomfort often motivates you. Tonight: Order in; invite a friend over. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You might not realize how much self-confidence you have.

Understand that the principle works in general but not always. Be sensitive to others. Tonight: Happily chatting away. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Back off for a while, especially if you’re involved in a controversial issue or problem. Your lack of action and energy draws out others. Soon, you’ll see the situation in a different light. Tonight: Take a much-needed personal night. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You bound with energy and understand what needs to occur.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You sense that something is occurring behind the scenes. You might not be able to lure the other parties involved into a discussion. Depend on your observations; be somewhat coy about asking questions. Tonight: A loved one could surprise you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Zero in on what you want. You can look at the big picture and see a situation in flux. A meeting or get-together might force your hand and cause you to move much faster than you intended. Tonight: Where your friends are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be willing to accept a dominant role in what’s happening. You could feel that others might often slough their responsibilities onto you. Let them know that you have limits. Take better care of yourself. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. This person will probably be positive and responsive. Look at what’s going on with him or her, but also look at what’s motivating you. Tonight: Follow the music. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH One-on-one relating opens more doors than speaking to several people at once. Use this knowledge well. Before you know it, you have several new supporters. Be open to some criticism, too. Tonight: Visit over munchies. BORN TODAY Coca-Cola inventor John Pemberton (1831), oil magnate John D.

Are these labels lacking? Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about prescription labeling. -- Heloise “Dear Heloise: Why can’t pharmacies label a prescription bottle with more information? My mother’s bottle of pills said, ‘Take one a day,’ but Mom didn’t know if that meant with meals or before meals. The label also should tell what ailment the medication is for. This is especially important if the person is taking several medications. “In an emergency room setting, the nurse often asks what medication you’re on and what it’s prescribed for, but many elderly patients get confused and don’t know why they’re taking a certain pill. Yes, it will take a couple of minutes to add these things to a label, but it is important for a patient to take the medication properly. Otherwise, what’s the point of taking any medication if it’s not taken correctly?” -- Leslie B. in Houston STAMP OF APPROVAL Dear Heloise: Recently, I was homebound with a broken ankle and tibia. During my recuperation, I received over 70 get-well cards. One of my friends enclosed a book of postage stamps in her get-well card. Because I wrote a lot of letters, this was the best thing I could have received. I currently have gone through six books of stamps writing to friends and family. Anyway, my helpful hint: When sending a get-well card, enclose a book of postage stamps. It is a thoughtful gift. -- Chick J., Littleton, N.H.

DEAR ABBY: Thank you for responding to “Crystal in Nevada’s” June 7 question about her aunt and her aunt’s baby who was stillborn. Few people talk openly about pregnancy loss, yet I worry your response might discourage parents from remembering their children out loud, for fear it might seem too morbid for others. My daughter, Evelyn, was born at 21 weeks gestation and died at birth. She would turn 7 this fall. I think about her every day. In the wake of her death, I sought help from a pastor, and I also belong to a support group. Every year on her birthday, my spouse and I put a birthday candle on a cake or a stack of pancakes or a tiny cookie. This is important to us, and this is how we remember her. I wonder if this is “truly sad.” How ought we remember her? She was real to us. People remember anniversaries around grief in different ways, and we should be cautious about judging what is and is not appropriate. If a person’s grief gets in the way of everyday living, then she or he should seek counseling. But a person acting out their grief on the anniversary of a loss should evoke our empathy rather than judgment. I hope Crystal’s aunt knows there is a whole sisterhood/brotherhood out here who will remember her baby with her. -- ADRIANNE IN PENNSYLVANIA
