In the news Man defends himself in assault case, gets 17 years

ANCHORAGE — A 28-year-old rural Alaska man who acted as his own attorney in a felony domestic violence case, and cross-examined his ex-girlfriend on the stand for more than eight hours, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison.

Michael Redfox of Emmonak at a March trial in Bethel was convicted of three felony assault charges.

Superior Court Judge Nathaniel Peters sentenced him Wednesday. State prosecutors say Peters noted that Redfox’s prospects for rehabilitation were poor based on past criminal history.

Prosecutors presented evidence that Redfox choked his girlfriend several different times during the attack and at one point, she stabbed Redfox in the forehead with a screwdriver to make him stop.

Redfox at sentencing said he was a strong candidate for rehabilitation because he had completed substance abuse programs.

Friday-Saturday, July 19-20, 2019 Kenai Peninsula, Alaska

— Associated Press

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Alaska Division of Forestry has lifted ban on campfires on state, private and municipal lands in Southcentral Alaska.

Restrictions on federal lands, including the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, remain in effect.

Cooler, moister weather

along with decreased fire activity prompted officials to lift the ban Thursday morning, according to a release from the Department of Natural Resources.

Campfires under 3 feet in diameter are now allowed in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, the Copper River Basin and the Kenai Peninsula Borough. A similar ban

was lifted for the northern half of Alaska on Sunday.

The lifting of the state campfire closure does not affect burn suspensions issued by local state forestry offices, and people must check with their local office daily to determine if there is a burn suspension in effect in their area.

Campfires under 3 feet in diameter are allowed during

a burn suspension, but opendebris burning and the use of burn barrels are prohibited. As of Wednesday, burn suspensions remained in effect for the Copper River, Fairbanks, Kenai and Mat-Su areas.

There were 205 active wildfires burning in Alaska with more than 2,100 firefighting personnel working to contain

Vaccinations will be first come, first served, and anyone who attends the clinic but does not receive a vaccination will have the opportunity to schedule a follow-up appointment with Kenai Public Health.

Anyone interested is encouraged to bring their immunization records and to call ahead if they are already experiencing symptoms, which include high fever, runny nose, sore throat, watery eyes and a rash on the head and face.

Anchorage man indicted for attack on woman using walker ANCHORAGE — An Anchorage grand jury has indicted a man suspected of stabbing a 74-year-old woman as she used her walker near a park.

Twenty-eight-yearold Rigoberto Walker was indicted Wednesday on counts of attempted murder and felony assault.

Walker is represented by the Alaska Public Defender’s Office, which does not comment on pending cases. The office did not return an email request for comment Thursday.

Prosecutors say that on July 4, the injured woman was outside along a street behind Centennial Park.

Prosecutors say Walker approached with a large kitchen knife and attacked her. The woman suffered multiple stab wounds.

Two people came to the woman’s aid. Prosecutors say Walker threatened them with the knife.

Police arrested Walker a short time later. He is in custody at the Anchorage jail.

Having a disability shouldn’t prevent anyone from having a great time.

This Saturday at Soldotna Creek Park, the folks at Frontier Community Services and the Independent Living Center will be hosting the peninsula’s second annual Disability Pride Celebration.

From noon to 4 p.m., people can visit the park to enjoy free food, face painting, live music from local band Hot Mess and a number of games and activities that will be accessible to all, regardless of ability.

The event is aimed at

connecting the community with those who live with disabilities for a day of fun and freedom for everyone.

“We really just want people to come hang out and see that people with disabilities, they’re just regular people, man,” organizer Nikki Marcano said. “We want the day to be as inclusive as possible.”

Marcano, employment specialist for Frontier, and Maggie Winston, systems advocate for the Independent Living Center, organized the event for the first time last year. Marcano said she was originally planning the event See pride, Page A2

State budget wonks try to explain ‘the sweep’

By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, had a question for Office of Management and Budget Administrative Services Director Neil Steininger.

“What does that mean in English?” he asked.

Steininger and his colleague OMB Budget Director Paloma Harbour sat before the Senate Finance Commit-

tee Thursday afternoon in a packed room.

Legislators, staff, press and spectators filled the Senate Finance Room at the capitol to hear the extensive discussion of the legal and accounting mechanism which govern “the sweep.”

The sweep is the name of the constitutional mandated emptying of appropriations accounts at the end of each fiscal year on June 30. Under normal circumstances these

funds would be returned to those accounts without much notice as part of the normal work of the Legislature.

But this year has not been one of normal circumstances. Not only was the Legislature not able to complete its work before the end of the legislative session, Gov. Mike Dunleavy has added a number of other programs to the list of sweepable accounts.

Stedman made it clear

that there had been language for the reverse sweep in the Legislature’s capital budget at the end of the normal session, but there hadn’t been the votes to pass it.

Steininger said at the beginning of the meeting that the sweep was normally, “an academic concern.” But without the reverse sweep, its impacts have been hard to determine because this situation is unprecedented.

One of the activities that was a success last year — a giant slip-and-slide made out of kiddie pool sent down a rubber runway — will be returning for the event.

Last year, Winston, who is unable to move her arms or legs, shared the ride with Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, and another friend who uses a wheelchair.

In addition to the games and activities from last year’s Disability Pride Celebration, Marcano and Winston said that they have a special surprise in store for this year’s event but kept a tight lid on the details.

Winston said that the event is a great way to remove the negative connotation of disabilities, replacing the

notion that these individuals need to be “fixed” with the idea that they can and should embrace their disability as part of their identity.

“I identify with my disability just as much as I identify as a woman or a mother,” Winston said. “And even though I acquired it later in life, it doesn’t make me feel sad or broken.”

leadership experience as she sets her sights on college, she said.

Joe Rizzo said that last year the baseball game raised about $1,600 for fund, and a large portion of that came from local

businesses who sponsor the event. During last year’s game, the local law enforcement didn’t have enough people to play, so Rizzo said that a few firefighters and some volunteers from the crowd helped to fill out the

ranks. This year the firefighters will be looking to take home their first victory, and firefighter Eli Deatherage said that he’s been practicing his pitching with his 5-year-old to get ready for the big show.

The Children’s Fund was started in 2015 by Carlee Rizzo while she attended Nikiski High School.

This year Bailey Epperheimer has taken charge of the nonprofit as executive director. Epperheimer, who is entering her junior year of high school, said she was a little overwhelmed at being offered the role by Joe Rizzo, Carlee’s father and one of Epperheimer’s teachers.

“When he asked me if I wanted to be the executive director, my first thought was ‘Woah, that’s a pretty fancy title,’” Epperheimer said.

Epperheimer had previously done service-oriented work with the local 4-H chapter and at her church.

US lawmakers propose ban on export of tribes’ sacred items

By Mary Hudetz Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A group of U.S. lawmakers made another push Thursday to ban collectors and vendors from exporting Native American ceremonial items to foreign markets, including Paris, where there has been uproar over auction houses listing tribal pieces for sale over the years.

The lawmakers introduced legislation that would increase penalties within the United States for trafficking objects that tribes hold sacred by increasing prison time from

five years to 10 years for violating the law more than once.

At the same time, the bill would establish a framework for collectors to return protected items to tribes and avoid facing penalties.

The change was proposed by a group that includes New Mexico Democrats Sen. Martin Heinrich, U.S. Reps. Ben Ray Lujan and Deb Haaland.

In 2016, Heinrich blamed federal legal loopholes for stifling efforts to retrieve a ceremonial shield from a Paris auction house that year.

“It is only right for other countries to respect ownership of the sacred treasures,

artifacts and other items belonging to Native Americans,” U.S. Rep. Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican, said Thursday. He and Haaland are among four Native American representatives in Congress.

Cole and Haaland are among sponsors of the legislation in the House.

Heinrich and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an Alaska Republican, have introduced a Senate version.

Lujan, who is the assistant House speaker, said he was confident the bipartisan legislation would pass.

U.S. law prohibits the trafficking of certain items domestically but does not

explicitly ban dealers from exporting them, according to lawmakers.

Collectors have expressed concern that the legislative efforts hurt the market for Native American artifacts.

Last year, a federal report found the number of Native American cultural items listed for bidding at five Paris auction houses declined after outcry led French dealers to halt the sale of the Acoma Pueblo ceremonial shield in May 2016.

Tribal leaders said the circular shield was taken from their village in New Mexico decades ago before appearing for sale on the auction house’s

website.

In 2016, the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that 220 items were listed in Paris auction catalogues with less than a third of the items marked as sold.

By year’s end, the number of items listed dropped 75%.

Last week, a settlement agreement in U.S. court in New Mexico called for the Eve auction house to release the shield to the U.S. Embassy in Paris, so it could be returned to Acoma Pueblo.

The agreement involved Acoma Pueblo and Jerold Collings, a resident of New Mexico who has said he inherited the shield from his

mother.

The U.S. attorney’s office in New Mexico has sought to execute a warrant granted by U.S. courts for the return of the shield.

Its return to New Mexico would require cooperation from the auction house in Paris.

Eve did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on Thursday.

Teacher firearms training to be offered during nationwide event

By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

As part of National Train a Teacher Day, on Saturday educators from across the country will receive free training on how to shoot and handle a firearm.

In Alaska, the free training is offered by a sole business in Palmer, Point Blank Firearms and Self Defense Training. However, Point Blank owner, Donna Anthony, said no Alaska teachers have signed up for the free training. During last year’s Train a Teacher Day, she offered the free training to eight educators.

This is the second year of

the event, which is sponsored by the United States Concealed Carry Association and TASER. The event’s website said the idea behind the day is “to work together to empower the people that educate our children.”

The event is taking place in 42 states.

Anthony has worked in law enforcement in Alaska for over 20 years. She said Alaska’s rural schools can be vulnerable to active shooters, but they don’t have to be.

“Alaska is unique,” she said.

“We have cities and we also have very rural areas. In more remote areas, law enforcement won’t get to (schools).

better protect our schools.”

She said that plan doesn’t necessarily entail arming every teacher. She says she’s supportive of trying to provide tools for teachers.

The eight teachers trained

by Anthony told her they were frustrated with current policies and procedures, hoping for more training and improved legislation, when it came to safeguarding their classrooms, Anthony said. She said she’d also like to see better legislation in Alaska.

Anthony said several states have adopted legislation

that elects specific teachers or staff to act as a “school marshal.” The teacher or staff member would be offered training and be permitted to carry a gun on campus.

In February of last year, Kentucky passed a similar bill.

“It’s similar to a U.S. Marshal program, where one volunteer takes the position of carrying and no one knows about it, but the principal and district,” Anthony said.

The teacher or staff member would be a volunteer.

“No one is pushed into

something they’re not comfortable with,” she said.

Anthony said Point Blank is looking to expand their scope and provide those tools to teachers across the state, not just in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.

Anthony said educators, or anyone in the public who interested, can access Point Blank’s online training, which focuses on training and handling an active shooter in the workplace.

We can’t ‘veto’ away Medicaid program

A

s the CEO of a mission-driven health care organization, I find myself deeply concerned with the recent budget vetoes by our governor. I look at the diversity of human needs that I see in our community every day — and I worry about how we as Alaskans are going to continue to meet those needs as we head into the future.

I can appreciate that there are challenges for our state, and the reality is that we need to make choices about how to spend a limited pool of resources. I also understand that our governor thinks he has made the right choice for the people of Alaska with his $400 million-plus in budget cuts, on top of our legislators’ $200 million in cuts.

However, as someone who works with our most vulnerable community members on a daily basis, I’d like to offer my vantage point: Alaskans deserve better.

These cuts will have catastrophic impacts on our community, hurting our economy and paralyzing our ability to respond to growing epidemics in addiction, mental health needs and homelessness.

The Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center is one of the larger primary care practices in our state, and every day we see hundreds of patients walk through our doors who rely on the partnership of programs like Medicaid to be productive members of our community. We see everyone from the elderly, to new mothers and young children, as well as those who are disabled, our veterans and those recovering from substance abuse and addiction. In a month, we translate more than 30 different languages and provide every health care service from setting broken bones, to treating diabetes, fixing toothaches, giving flu shots and more.

The governor’s vetoes eliminate preventive dental services for adults on Medicaid, as well as cut an additional $50 million from the overall Medicaid budget, with no plan for how to implement the cut or how to supplement the lost federal match dollars. Without the needed preparation and resources, these line-item vetoes simply shift the impacts of patients and their health needs into a different part of the system, usually at a greater cost to the state and private insurance payers.

Research has demonstrated that an overburdened safetynet primary care system ultimately results in increased emergency room visits by those who can afford it the least. I’ll ask you to consider: who is going to be most likely to pay for those costs?

The governor has painted these cuts as “trimming the fat” on an entitled system, but I’ve seen the realities up close on a daily basis. Medicaid provides support to families, with half of all Alaskan children on Denali KidCare, and half of all of the children born in our state having a mother covered by Medicaid at the time of their birth.

Not only that, but we know that not all veterans are covered

by VA health services — nearly 4,000 veterans in Alaska receive their medical coverage from Medicaid. Four in 10 adults recovering from opioid addiction receive coverage because of Medicaid, and 79% of nursing home residents in Alaska are on Medicaid.

None of us ever know when we might find ourselves in that space of need. These are real people — they are our friends and neighbors. The impact of this veto, in addition to significant reductions already made by the Legislature, threatens to limit low income Alaskans’ access to health care benefits and services. This veto could lead to caps on services available to patients, reduced eligibility for services and additional provider rate reductions.

Our state’s Medicaid program provides a helping hand that brings people out of poverty and helps them in transition to get to what’s next. It helps people to fill the gaps in all walks of life — this is not a resource that we can just “veto away” in order to make the numbers balance.

As Alaskans, we lend a helping hand to our neighbors.

We weather the storm together. We must do that now, by coming together and finding the solutions to our budget. As an Alaskan and CEO of the Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center, I’m stepping up to find the solutions that work for all Alaskans. Join me in contacting your legislators today, urging them to work together to restore the funding that was eliminated through the harmful cuts made through recent vetoes.

Take action by writing your legislators at AlaskansTogetherForMedicaid.org.

What others say

Ease up on the Twitter trigger finger and stop the name-calling P resident Donald Trump is on the defensive for a tweet he wrote Sunday.

He said, in part: “So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly … and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how … it is done.”

Of course, the congresswomen he was referring to, Reps. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, are all U.S. citizens, and only one, Ms. Omar, was born outside the United States.

But the president doubled down, and made it worse for everyone, especially himself, tweeting out yesterday afternoon the following message,

among others: “We all know that AOC and this crowd are a bunch of Communists, they hate Israel, they hate our own Country, they’re calling the guards along our Border (the Border Patrol Agents) Concentration Camp Guards, they accuse people who support Israel as doing it for the Benjamin’s ….”

In separate remarks, the president said the four were definitely socialists and possibly communists.

It has been a long time since Americans called each other communists, or a person in power called fellow Americans communists. It is a term of malice, and it is libel per se, when said about someone who is not a communist. And none of these women is a communist.

It is as wrong to call a person a communist for disagreeing with you as it is to call that person a racist for disagreeing with you. And many, many people have abused that word, until, at last it is implied that even Joe Biden is racist.

We need to stop the labeling and name-calling in this country.

And we don’t get to question each other’s patriotism or love of country just because we disagree, either.

We don’t get to judge each other’s hearts.

Disagree? Yes, we may disagree, and vehemently.

But stop the name-calling.

As for the president, he might want to consider hiring a tweetmeister to screen his spelling and form and to slow down his Twitter trigger finger.

He is the commander-in-chief and can always choose to hit send anyway.

But because he is commander-inchief, many, if not most, Americans expect a degree of dignity and decorum. They want more Ronald Reagan and less Howard Stern. And many who approve of Mr. Trump’s policies and deplore the drift of the Democratic Party to the cultural and socialist left, are dismayed that he keeps lowering the bar of presidential behavior.

Core Trump voters may not mind vulgarity and name-calling in their president, but many Americans on the right and in the middle do. And if the economy goes south, they will find it all too easy to abandon a president who embarrasses them and demeans his office, conservative court nominees notwithstanding.

2020 debates will see Biden-Harris rematch and a progressive faceoff

By Bill Barrow Associated Press

ATLANTA — The second set of summer Democratic presidential debates will feature a rematch with a twist, plus the first showdown of leading progressives as the party wrestles with its philosophical identity and looks ahead to a 2020 fight against President Donald Trump.

Former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris will take center stage in Detroit on July 31, barely a month after Harris used the first debates to propel herself into the top tier with an aggressive takedown of the 76-year-old Biden’s long record on race.

CNN, which is broadcasting the debates, assigned candidates randomly with a drawing Thursday night, with 20 candidates spread evenly over two nights, July 30-31.

This time, Harris, the lone black woman in the field, will be joined by another top black candidate, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who also has been an outspoken critic of Biden.

Booker had denounced Biden for his recollections of the “civility” of working in a Senate that included white supremacists and for his leadership on a 1994 crime bill that the New Jersey senator assailed as a mass incarceration agent in the black community.

Meanwhile, Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts lead the July 30 lineup, allowing the two progressive icons to compete directly for the affections of the party’s left flank. They will be joined by several more moderate candidates who are likely to question the senators’ sweeping proposals for singlepayer health insurance and tuition-free

college, among other plans.

Biden vs. Harris has quickly become the defining candidate-on-candidate juxtaposition in the early months of the contest.

Although of different sexes, races and generations, the two rivals share the same broad path to the nomination, particularly the broad coalition of white and black voters necessary to win the Southern primaries that dominate the early months of the nominating calendar.

Harris’ June attacks on Biden’s 1970s opposition to federal busing orders as a way to desegregate public schools was a way for her to stand out to liberal whites and to try to cut into Biden’s strength in the black community, where he is lauded as the loyal vice president to Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president.

To be clear, Biden aides say Harris’ broadsides sparked a new aggressiveness and determination for the former vice president, and he’s gone on a policy offensive in recent weeks, most notably on health care.

A proponent of adding a public option to the Affordable Care Act insurance exchanges, Biden almost certainly will try to pin down Harris on her support for Sanders’ “Medicare for All” proposal. Harris, though, has stopped short of Sanders’ explicit call for abolishing private insurance, and she insists that the plan can be paid for without any tax hikes on the middle class.

Biden and Harris will be joined on the stage July 31 by Booker; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; Colorado Gov. Michael Bennet; former Obama Cabinet member Julián Castro; New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand; Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard; Washington Gov.

Jay Inslee; and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.

Flanking Sanders and Warren on the stage July 30 will be Montana Gov. Steve Bullock; Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana; former Maryland Rep. John Delaney; former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper; Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar; former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke; Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan; and author Marianne Williamson.

Delaney and Hickenlooper have been among the most outspoken moderates warning Democrats against a leftward lurch. Klobuchar, Bullock and Buttigieg also position themselves as more centrist than Warren and Sanders.

A generational split also will be on display: Buttigieg, 37, and O’Rourke, 46, each have called for the party to pass the torch, while Sanders, at 77, is more than twice the young mayor’s age. Warren, meanwhile, recently turned 70.

It will be the first debate opportunity for Bullock, who takes the spot that California Rep. Eric Swalwell had in June before dropping out in recent weeks. Another late entry to the race, billionaire activist Tom Steyer, did not meet the polling or fundraising thresholds required for the July debate.

For several of the longshot candidates, the July debates are critical. The Democratic National Committee is doubling the polling and fundraising requirements to make the stage in the next round of debates, scheduled for September in Houston and October in a city yet to be announced.

As of now, it’s likely those higher standards would mean many of the 20 candidates on stage in Detroit won’t have a place in Houston.

Trump scolds backers for ‘send her back’ chant He claims he tried to stop them, but the chanting resounded for 13 seconds with no attempt to interrupt them.

By Alan Fram and Darlene Superville Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday chided his supporters who chanted “send her back” when he questioned the loyalty of a Somali-born congresswoman, joining widespread criticism of the campaign crowd’s cry after fellow Republicans warned it could hurt the GOP in next year’s elections In a week that has corkscrewed daily with hostile exchanges over race and love of country, Trump also claimed he had tried to stop the chant at a reelection event Wednesday night in North Carolina.

“I started speaking really quickly,” he told reporters.

“I was not happy with it. I disagree with it” and “would certainly try” to stop any similar chant at a future rally.

However, video shows the crowd’s “send her back” shouts resounded for 13 seconds as

Trump made no attempt to interrupt them. He paused in his speech and surveyed the scene, taking in the uproar.

The taunt’s target — Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — was pressed for a response on Thursday, as Trump was.

“This is what this president and his supporters have turned our country” into, she said as she walked outside the U.S. Capitol. “This is not about me. This is about fighting about what this country truly should b e and what it deserves to be.”

“I believe he is fascist,” she said.

Trump, though taking issue with the chant, didn’t back away Thursday from his criticism of Omar and three other Democratic congresswomen of color.

They have “a big obligation and the obligation is to love your country,” he said. “There’s such hatred. They have such hatred.”

Trump started the week’s tumult by tweeting Sunday

that Omar and the other three freshmen could “go back” to their native countries if they were unhappy here. His other targets — all Trump detractors — were Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.

All are American citizens, and all but Omar were born in the U.S. She fled to America as a child with her family from violence-wracked Somalia.

Citing Trump’s rhetoric, House Democrats said they were discussing arranging security for Omar and the three other congresswomen.

The Democratic-led House voted Tuesday to condemn Trump’s tweets as racist.

On Wednesday, it rejected a resolution by one Democrat to impeach Trump that was opposed by party leaders as premature.

The chants at the Trump rally brought scathing criticism from GOP lawmakers as well as from Democrats, though the Republicans did not fault Trump himself.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California declared the chant has “no place in our party and no place

in this country.”

Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois tweeted that it was “ugly, wrong, & would send chills down the spines of our Founding Fathers. This ugliness must end, or we risk our great union.”

Even by Trump’s standards, the campaign rally and this week’s events have been extraordinary. They have also been the latest demonstration of how Trump’s verbal cannonades are capable of dominating the news.

House approves $15 minimum wage

By Lisa Mascaro Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Democrats approved legislation Thursday to raise the federal minimum wage for the first time in a decade, to $15 an hour, but the bill has almost no chance in the Republican-controlled Senate.

Passage was assured after centrists won concessions for a slower phase-in, over six years instead of five. They also won assurances the pay hike could be halted midway if a study shows job losses or other adverse effects.

A hike in the $7.25 hourly wage has been a top Democratic campaign promise, intended to address income inequality that’s driving the 2020 political debate. Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland said raising the wage is the “right thing to do.”

“America’s workers deserve a raise,” said Speaker Nancy Pelosi at a press conference with labor leaders and employees ahead of voting. Lifting a young girl into her arms, Pelosi said, “This is what it’s all about… It’s about family.”

The legislation, for the first time, would pay tipped

WASHINGTON — A U.S. warship on Thursday destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz after it threatened the ship, President Donald Trump said. The incident marked a new escalation of tensions between the countries less than one month after Iran downed an American drone in the same waterway and Trump came close to retaliating with a military strike.

In remarks at the White House, Trump blamed Iran for a “provocative and hostile” action and said the U.S. responded in self-defense.

Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, told reporters as he arrived for a meeting at the United Nations that “we have no information about losing a drone today.”

The clash in one of the busiest waterways for international oil traffic highlighted the risk of war between two countries at odds over a wide range of issues. After Trump pulled the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal last year and imposed additional economic sanctions, the Iranians have pushed back

workers the same as others earning the minimum, boosting their pay to $15 an hour, too. It’s now $2.13.

Republicans in the House balked at the wage hike, which would be the first since Democrats last controlled the majority. It was signed into law by then-President George W. Bush.

States are already able to raise the wage beyond the federal minimum, and many

have done so.

Just a few Republicans joined most all Democrats in passage, on a 231-199 vote.

During the floor debate, Rep. Ronald Wright, R-Texas, called it a “disastrous bill.” Wright said essentially doubling pay would cost jobs and the bill should be renamed the “Raising Unemployment for American Workers Act.” While opponents have long said higher minimum wages

spotlight on Thursday would be on House passage of legislation to boost the minimum wage for the first time in a decade.

To many GOP ears, this time the attention wasn’t all positive.

Rep. Mark Walker of North Carolina, a conservative who attended Trump’s rally, told reporters at the Capitol that the chant “does not need to be our campaign call like we did, ‘Lock her up,’ last time.”

That was a reference to a 2016 campaign mantra that

on the military front, allegedly sabotaging Saudi and other oil tankers in the Gulf, shooting down a U.S. drone on June 20 and stepping up support for Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Adding to the economic pressure on Tehran, the Treasury Department said Thursday it was imposing sanctions on what it called a network of front companies and agents involved in helping Iran buy sensitive materials for its nuclear program. It said the targeted individuals and entities are based in Iran, China and Belgium.

Trump said the Navy’s USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, took defensive action after the Iranian aircraft closed to within 1,000 yards of the ship and ignored multiple calls to stand down.

“The United States reserves the right to defend our personnel, facilities and interests and calls upon all nations to condemn Iran’s attempts to disrupt freedom of navigation and global commerce,” Trump said.

The Pentagon said the incident happened at 10 a.m. local time Thursday in international waters while the Boxer was transiting the waterway to enter the Persian Gulf.

The Boxer is among several

U.S. Navy ships in the area, including the USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier that has been operating in the nearby North Arabian Sea for weeks.

“A fixed-wing unmanned aerial system approached Boxer and closed within a threatening range,” chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a written statement. “The ship took defensive action against the UAS to ensure the safety of the ship and its crew.”

Neither Trump nor the Pentagon spelled out how the Boxer destroyed the drone.

CNN reported that the ship used electronic jamming to bring it down rather than hitting it with a missile.

The Iranians and Americans have had close encounters in the Strait of Hormuz in the past, and it’s not unprecedented for Iran to fly a drone near a U.S. warship.

In December, about 30 Iranian Revolutionary Guard vessels trailed the USS John C. Stennis aircraft carrier and its strike group through the strait as Associated Press journalists on board watched. One small vessel launched what appeared to be a commercial-grade drone to film the U.S. ships.

lead to job losses, economists say new studies are casting doubt on those long-held theories.

A report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office sent mixed messages.

It said more than 30 million workers would see bigger paychecks with a higher wage, lifting more than 1 million workers from poverty. It also said between 1 million and 3 million jobs could be lost.

Trump continues to encourage aimed at that year’s Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.

Walker, who called the chant “offensive,” was among about House GOP leaders who had breakfast Thursday with Vice President Mike Pence at Pence’s residence in Washington. Walker said he cautioned Pence that attention to the chant could distract voters next year from the economy and other themes Republicans want to emphasize.

“We don’t need to take it that far where we change the narrative of the story,” he said he told Pence.

The lawmakers attending agreed that the chant was inappropriate and could prove a harmful distraction, and Pence concurred and said he’d discuss it with Trump, said another participant who described the conversation on condition of anonymity.

In North Carolina, Trump berated each of the four congresswomen and said, “They never have anything good to say. That’s why I say, ‘Hey if you don’t like it, let ‘em leave, let ‘em leave.’” He added, “I think in some cases they hate our country.”

TOKYO — A man screaming “You die!” burst into an animation studio in Kyoto, doused it with a flammable liquid and set it on fire Thursday, killing 33 people in an attack that shocked the country and brought an outpouring of grief from anime fans.

Thirty-six others were injured, some of them critically, in a blaze that sent people scrambling up the stairs toward the roof in a desperate — and futile — attempt to escape what proved to be Japan’s deadliest fire in nearly two decades. Others emerged bleeding, blackened and barefoot.

The suspect, identified only a 41-year-old man who did not work for the studio, was injured and taken to a hospital. Police gave no details on the motive, but a witness told Japanese TV that the attacker angrily complained that something of his had been stolen, possibly by the company.

Most of the victims were

employees of Kyoto Animation, which does work on movies and TV productions but is best known for its mega-hit stories featuring high school girls. The tales are so popular that fans make pilgrimages to some of the places depicted.

The blaze started in the three-story building in Japan’s ancient capital after the attacker sprayed an unidentified liquid accelerant, police and fire officials said.

Firefighters found 33 bodies, 20 of them on the third floor and some on the stairs to the roof, where they had apparently collapsed, Kyoto fire official Kazuhiro Hayashi said. Two were found dead on the first floor, 11 others on the second floor, he said.

A witness who saw the attacker being approached by police told Japanese media that the man admitted spreading gasoline and setting the fire with a lighter.

She told NHK public television that the man had burns on his arms and legs and complained that something had been stolen from him.

One year ago: The White House said President Donald Trump had invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the White House in the fall for a second get-together, just days after a Helsinki summit that brought Trump criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike. Putin said his summit with Trump had been a success, and he accused Trump’s opponents in the U.S. of hampering any progress on the issues they discussed.

Staying true to who we are

By Rev. Stephen Brown Minister’s Message

I had one of those milestone birthdays in the recent past. One of those birthdays that makes you scratch your head and wonder how I got this old. As I get older, I do find myself a little more nostalgic and I was recently thinking of younger days and some of the lessons I learned early on that have served me well, one of which is the subject of this message.

“Now, remember what your last name is, son.”

Those words were usually the last words I would hear my father say when I got to be old enough to go out with my friends on my own.

It was of course a much deeper statement than checking my memory for accuracy. It was a prompt to remember my identity and remind me of who I was and what that meant.

By remembering my last name, I remembered what that name stood for.

The kind of conduct I was expected to model. The

values I was expected to live by. The truth I was expected to speak and that I was to return home with no regrets of the decisions I had made that night.

Identity is a big deal.

Stolen identity, mistaken identity, forgotten identity are all ways our lives can be turned upside down whether our fault or the fault of someone or something else. It is a situation we don’t often think about until it hits us in the face.

The truth is, the further we become separated from our identity the more difficulty we tend to find ourselves in.

The biblical character Daniel and his three friends we mostly know by their Babylonian names — Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego — had an identity crisis they had to deal with. Daniel, one of the four, was also given a Babylonian name, Belteshazzar. Why were they given new names? As captives of the invading Babylonian culture, they were to be assimilated into their new home of Babylon. Changing

their identity was part of that plan.

Daniel and his three friends were put to the test.

Would they forget who they were in this faraway place?

Would they try to find acceptance by participating in the things they had been taught not to do? They were accountable to no one from home and were in a foreign land with no one to know the difference, except themselves.

The book of Daniel records the decisions and actions of the four Israelite young men. I encourage you to read the whole story on your own, but for brevity, these are Daniel’s words, speaking for the four captive Hebrew young men: Daniel 1:8 8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

Spoiler alert: Daniel and his friends retained

their identity when put to the test. The end result?

They were exonerated and excelled. The peers in their company who presumably were not so convicted are lost to history.

Too often it is a mistake we make when we want to “fit in,” gain acceptance or when attempting to reinvent ourselves. When we leave our true identity behind we lose an anchor to hold us through the tests and difficulties of life. Staying true to who we are, our faith and convictions is not always easy in the moment but better for us in the long run.

In retrospect, my dad’s advice was a great boundary for me. It kept me in better places than I might have found myself had I forgotten who I was. I am thankful for his gentle reminder.

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold.

In brief UK report urges protection for Christians

Mormon leader to address NAACP

LONDON — Britain’s foreign secretary has embraced a new report that concludes Christians frequently endure the heaviest burden of persecution globally, arguing that it should be labeled as “Christophobia.”

Jeremy Hunt backed the report by Right Rev. Philip Mounstephen, the bishop of Truro. Hunt said that governments have preferred general language of condemnation rather than calling out persecution against Christians for what it is and giving it a name.

Hunt said Monday the government has not always grappled with the issue “perhaps because of a misguided political correctness or an instinctive reluctance to talk about religion.”

The report recommends that Britain push for a U.N. Security Council resolution urging governments in the Middle East and North Africa to protect Christians and other persecuted minorities.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ top leader has been invited to speak at the NAACP convention in Detroit, marking the latest sign of a burgeoning partnership between the two organizations.

The Utah-based faith said in a news release Wednesday that president Russell M. Nelson will speak Sunday. A lower-level church leader spoke at the NAACP convention last year.

The two organizations had their official meeting between national leaders in May 2018, calling afterward for greater racial harmony.

The religion barred blacks from the lay priesthood until 1978. That ban was rooted in the belief that black skin was a curse, and lingers as one of the most sensitive topics in the religion’s history.

Scholars estimate that black people make up about 3% of the 6.6 million church members in the U.S. — Associated Press

Kupferschmid leaves behind coaching legacy

By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

Nine head coaches will be departing peninsula high school varsity sports programs this spring, and eight of them leave behind 16 combined years of head-coaching experience.

The ninth — Soldotna volleyball coach Sheila Kupferschmid — is a veteran presence that has dominated the peninsula volleyball scene for 20 years and plans to keep going in the middle school ranks.

While she never won a state championship in 20 years of trying in Alaska, Kupferschmid’s legacy lies

with the hundreds of middle and high school students she motivated and inspired to not only become better players but better people.

Attempts by the Clarion to contact the Soldotna administration were unsuccessful. Kupferschmid acknowledged that disagreements with the SoHi administration led to her leaving the program, but noted that she plans to stay involved in the sport at the middle school level, and stressed that she is leaving with positivity as she focuses all her energy into coaching the Skyview Middle School volleyball program, where her impact will still be felt as she sends young players to the high

school level.

“It’s always been about the kids and seeing them being challenged and striving to reach team goals,” she said. “The toughest challenge is always meshing the girls and their different personalities and different commitments that each of them have.”

In other coaching changes, the Kenai Central Kardinals are bidding adieu to Cary Calvert as girls basketball coach after four years on the job, and Maria Calvert will be leaving cross-country running after four years as head coach and six years total in the program.

Maria Calvert led the Kards to two

state titles in those four years, and also coached her daughter, Jaycie, to an individual state title.

Cary Calvert leaves after helping snap a lengthy 17-year state tournament appearance drought for the Kenai girls. The team played well enough in the regular season to pick up the sole at-large bid in the Class 3A level to go to state, where they went 2-1 and secured third place at the state tournament.

Jacob Newton is leaving the Kenai hockey program after two years. Newton guided a program that never qualified for the state hockey tournament in his time, but See CoACH, Page A8

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland (AP) — An emotional opening shot

by Darren Clarke. A shocking one by Rory McIlroy.

Tiger Woods had his worst score to start a British Open. Brooks Koepka quickly got into contention again.

Emiliano Grillo made a 1. David Duval made a 14.

The Open returned to Royal

Portrush after a 68-year absence and made up for lost time with an unusual amount of theater Thursday. When more than 15 hours of golf before a robust, sellout crowd finally ended, J.B. Holmes was atop the leaderboard at a major for the first time in 11 years.

Even that might have been fitting.

The big hitter from a small town in Kentucky had his first taste of links golf at Royal Portrush during a college trip, and he recalled how the caddies kept giving him the wrong

Staff Report The Peninsula Oilers bats fell silent Thursday night in a 3-1 loss to the Anchorage Glacier Pilots at Mulcahy Stadium.

Anchorage starter Matthew Sanchez carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning for the Pilots, and tied a 2019 Alaska Baseball League season high with 12 strikeouts.

More importantly, the Oilers fell to 12-25 this summer, a half game behind the Chinooks

(11-23) for the fourth and final playoff spot. The Chinooks beat the Mat-Su Miners 9-4 on Thursday to surpass the Oilers. The Pilots improved to 9-2 against the Oilers this summer.

Peninsula’s Jaden Fein broke up the no-hitter with two outs in the top of the seventh with a single over the head of center fielder Dayton Calicdan. The Pilots outhit the Oilers 9-3 overall, with Bobby Goodloe, Calvin Farris and Fein notching the only hits.

Farris made sure to ruin the shutout for the Pilots with an RBI bloop single with one out in

lines off the tee because they had never seen anyone hit it that far.

Holmes drove the downwind 374-yard fifth hole to 12 feet for a two-putt birdie, and he ended with a 5-iron into the wind to 15 feet for a final birdie and a 5-under 66.

“You just have to accept the conditions over here and not get too greedy,” Holmes said.

He had a one-shot lead over Shane Lowry of Ireland, who didn’t have the level of expectations or the connection to Royal Portrush

like McIlroy, Clarke or native son Graeme McDowell, all of whom grew up in Northern Ireland and never imagined golf’s oldest championship returning to their tiny country.

“I feel like for me I can come here a little more under the radar than the other guys,” Lowry said.

That wasn’t the case for McIlroy.

The Oilers will need a kick start to avoid missing the ABL playoffs. The team faces the Miners tonight at 6 p.m. at Palmer’s Hermon Brothers Field, then wrap up their road trip Saturday with a 7 p.m. clash with the Chinooks.

From there, the Oilers finish the regular season with a five-game home stand against the Anchorage Bucs (25-9), who lead the ABL standings by 4.5 games over the Miners.

he net needed to be assembled. The two pieces, one very long rod, connected to a shorter rod with a large square net, is awkward to carry. I throw it over my shoulder and stumble down to the mouth of the Kasilof River.

It’s almost 9 p.m. I have work in the morning. But, at the beach, children are building sand castles on the shore, a family gathered by their tent is cooking dinner, someone is blasting country music and dozens of people have their nets in the water.

I feel like I don’t belong. Everyone has special gear: beautiful, woodcarved fish bonkers, chest waders that fit perfectly and state of the art nets.

I struggle to walk in the hippers I’m wearing that are three sizes too big for me in the shoe, but are too tight to pass my upper thighs. None of the waders at the store fit me because shorter women with large hips don’t exist in the fishing world, apparently. My net is old and from a garage sale.

My boyfriend’s been dip netting many times. We both grew up in Anchorage, and his family came to the Kenai Peninsula to fill their freezers with salmon. I came to the peninsula growing up to visit family, who owned a seafood processing plant.

We went halibut fishing sometimes, or helped at a family set-net site.

But, according to my dad, I’ve technically been dip netting once, but in a boat. And does that even count? My family’s since sold their seafood business and as an adult living in a different city, I no longer have the luxury of swiping smoked salmon from my parent’s fridge. I have to fend for myself.

So here I am, up to my knees in the mouth of the silty, swirly Kasilof River, holding a cumbersome net, trying to pretend like I know what I’m doing.

It doesn’t help that a fish swam into my boyfriend’s net seconds after he stepped into the water.

I stood in the water people-watching. A huge, black trash bag floated down the middle of the river. Did someone really throw their trash into the river? I thought about the relationship Alaskans have to the harvest, and the relationship locals have to the dip netters.

There’s a sense of unease when the dip net starts. Locals don’t have the same access to their beaches anymore and, sometimes, outsiders who descend on the Kenai can be filthy guests, leaving fish waste and other remnants of their experiences in our quiet and peaceful spaces.

I live just a five-minute drive from the south Kenai beach. Up until now, it’s been a peaceful place for me to drive to and enjoy the sounds and sights of the inlet. My boyfriend and I will drive there to watch the sunset, fly a kite or take our dog for a walk.

It’s a completely different place in July, with the hustle and bustle of a small tent city, where everyone has the same goal. Fill the freezer.

After about 20 minutes, I felt the “bop” I was told I would feel when a fish hit the net. I screamed.

With Swan Lake fire stable, suppression lines see removal

T

he smoke hung low in the valley as we walked down a dozer line to its end where a clearing had been created. Just weeks before, a dozer crew had attempted to get ahead of an area of the Swan Lake Fire working its way south along Mystery Creek Road.

This clearing was a safety zone for themselves and the equipment.

Now the dozer line, which serves no tactical purpose for ongoing fire suppression activities, has been approved to be repaired.

As one of many local Resource Advisors, I am part of a team of local experts prescribing and monitoring implementation of a repair plan for wildfire suppression activities. Our goal is to repair impacts to the landscape that are related to fire suppression, while embracing the positive effects of the fire itself on the landscape.

John Morton Refuge Notebook

This mostly means meeting the objectives of limiting exposed soil so it does not wash away. Covering exposed soil and encouraging native plant growth makes it difficult for invasive plant species to move into the area and get established. Finally, this repair work limits any unplanned access points that may encourage increased illegal ORV/ATV trespass.

On this day I worked with local operators running an excavator and a dozer, and their crew boss “Mo.” We outlined the objectives of what we wanted the “painting” to look like and then this “team of artists” got to work on their “canvas.”

In this case their canvas was a wide dirt swath through the forest with a berm of organic material pushed to one side. We noted a

couple of spots where erosion could be a future problem and then they jumped in.

By leveling berms that were built up by the dozer push and pulling trees and vegetation mats back onto the cut they slowly worked backward from the end. They only had one chance to get it right.

It would do more damage walking the equipment back in if they missed something. It was a steady and deliberate process. This team repaired 2 miles of dozer line and several “push out” zones in less than two days.

This is just one of the many duties of a Resource Advisor. We provide information to fire crews on the natural resources and how the firefighters can meet their objectives while still protecting the values of the land owner be it refuge, See REFUGE, Page A9

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Cheslor Cuthbert and Jorge Soler homered in a five-run third inning, and Kansas City stayed hot by completing a four-game sweep of Chicago.

perennially battled against bigger schools with sometimes two or three times the student population.

Nikiski’s lone coaching change will see Anna Widman return to coach the crosscountry running program after two years away. Widman will be replacing Dylan Hooper.

In Homer, longtime Mariners wrestling coach Bubba Wells is leaving after two seasons at the head coach position, while Walter Love is stepping down as head football coach with former Voznesenka football coach Justin Zank coming in to replace Love, and Sara Pennington is leaving the volleyball program after one season.

Wells played an integral role in the Homer wrestling team winning two Division II state championships in four years, and helped dozens of Homer wrestlers win state titles.

Love’s impact with the Homer football program lasted just two years as head coach, but he did a lot in his short time. In his first season in 2017, Love coached the Mariners to an 8-2 season that ended with a Division II state title game appearance, where Homer narrowly lost 20-14 to the Barrow Whalers.

In Seward, cross-country coach Aaron Sorensen exits the program after one season.

Also for SoHi, cheerleading coach Jeannie Young is leaving the cheer program.

Kupferschmid leaves behind a trail of success. SoHi athletic director Kyle McFall spent time as a high school basketball coach at Skyview, and said Kupferschmid’s legacy at Skyview and SoHi is cemented in her ability to take up a program that draws from some of the smallest schools in the region and land them in the state tournament.

“She had the ability to build a program that’s built for success over a couple of years,” McFall said. “She’s a good skills coach and has a lasting impact on our community here. She’s been involved with generations of kids, and her ability to reach out and leave a positive change is huge.”

In 20 years as a volleyball coach in Alaska, Kupferschmid guided high school teams to state nine times – six with Skyview and three with SoHi — with a best finish of runner-up in 2001, when the Panthers lost to Wasilla in the state title game at the Class 4A level.

Sk y v i e w e v e nt u a l l y dropped to the 3A level due to school population numbers, and in her final season at Skyview in 2013, Kupferschmid led a Panthers team that went 17-0 in the regular season and finished up third at state.

Kupferschmid has been in the business of coaching volleyball for 34 years, dating back to her earliest stint in Texas, but her body of work reaches beyond that realm.

“When we got started, I wanted to be a coach, a pastor’s wife and a mother,” Kupferschmid said in a recent interview.

But for all the passion she has inspired in middle and high school players through the years, her heart naturally lies with her own children — son Jeremy, 19, and daughter Jessie Bilderback, 25, both of whom were adopted as children with her husband, Paul Kupferschmid.

“Both Paul and I put our heart and soul into those two kids,” she said. “To see Jeremy come around and do what he has done gives me a lot of joy.”

Kupferschmid said getting time to spend with her own family is something she has cherished through all her years as a parent, starting after she and Paul adopted Jeremy

Boone goes off on ump, Yankees sweep Rays NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees manager Aaron Boone got fired up at a rookie umpire in a profane rant, and New York awoke from a sleepy start to rally past the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 in a doubleheader opener Thursday.

New York rallied to win the second game 5-1 and reopen an eight-game AL East lead over the second-place Rays.

Luke Voit tied the score in the fifth with his first home run since June 14, and catcher Mike Zunino caused Charlie Morton to balk home the tiebreaking run in a fourrun sixth that included Didi Gregorius’ two-run single. The Yankees won three straight after wasting a ninth-inning lead in the series opener and improved to 34-11 against the AL East, including 12-5 against Tampa Bay. Boone fumed after rookie umpire Brennan Miller called Brett Gardner out on strikes in the second inning.

Miller, umpiring behind the

plate for the fifth time in the major leagues, had punched out Aaron Judge in the first.

Gardner batted in the second after Urshela’s tying, two-run homer and struck out on a 1-2 pitch.

BOSTON (AP) — Chris Sale and two relievers combined on a two-hitter, and the Boston left-hander struck out 12 in six innings for his first regular season win at Fenway Park in more than a year.

and Jessie.

Kupferschmid said she wanted her kids to always reach their goals and fed their passion for the outdoors with family hikes. She recalls a hiking adventure with family friend Dave Michael up Resurrection Pass when Jeremy was young, and said Jeremy took to it like a natural.

“He said, ‘Dad, this is what I want to do!’” Kupferschmid recalled. “So we chose to put our time into our kids.”

Kupferschmid, who graduated in May, has since blossomed into one of the top nordic skiers on the SoHi ski team and one of the top hitters on the high school and Legion Twins baseball teams.

Kupferschmid’s journey to Alaska began when she met Paul in Texas when Sheila was in the early days of her coaching career. Kupferschmid’s coaching career in volleyball began inconspicuously for someone who earned their stars in softball and basketball. Kupferschmid played both sports well, softball in particular, and is in the Iowa High School Hall of Fame as a 100-win pitcher.

Her coaching career began in 1985 in Plano, Texas, at Vines High School, and she also coached the eighth-grade volleyball program at Wilson Middle School. At that level, Kupferschmid’s teaching shone through.

“You’re teaching them the game, but you’re teaching them to love the game,” she said. “Once kids get the passion they think, ‘This is fun. I’m going to keep doing this.’”

Kupferschmid also spent time learning and taking in the sport at the collegiate level at the University of Nebraska in Kearney, going to practices and picking up valuable lessons and life experience that would serve her well for 20 years in Alaska.

“I learned the game there,” she said. “Nebraska volleyball is outstanding. When you think Nebraska, a lot of time you think football, but the volleyball programs are great.”

Kupferschmid spent five years in Kearney as a high school coach before making the big move to Alaska in 1999 with Paul, who was taking up a position to become pastor at Kasilof Community Church.

In her second year coaching at Skyview, the Panthers went to state and finished sixth out of eight teams, then took it a step further in 2001 with a runner-up showing, only losing to Valley school Wasilla in the 4A finals. Kupferschmid developed a talented squad that included three All-State players in Jenny Carpenter, Laura Tarbox and Christina Colvin.

Skyview returned to state in 2002 but couldn’t find redemption for the previous year’s close miss, finishing fourth.

From there, the Skyview program fell short of state for five years before making a return in 2008, where Kupferschmid coached the team to fifth place. Her final two seasons in the Skyview program saw state finishes of fourth and third, including the undefeated 2013 season.

After transferring to SoHi following the closure of Skyview High School, which changed to Skyview Middle School, Kupferschmid worked her magic with the Stars, which went to state three out of five years, including a pair of fifth-place finishes in 2017 and 2018.

Now leaving behind a high school coaching career at SoHi, Kupferschmid said working in unison with school personnel, parents and kids became a delicate balance, a challenge she enjoyed.

“Just because you know the game doesn’t mean you’ll be good,” Kupferschmid said. “You have to be able to develop and work with teachers, parents and athletes.”

The repair crew worked tirelessly in 90-degree heat with smoke, ash and an occasional flame torching unburned trees. In the end they painted a picture of success with a unique canvas and odd brushes. It may not look like it yet, but over the next two years the ground will fill in with fresh growth originating from the vegetation they scattered across the cut.

The trees both burned and unburned will deliver nutrients back into the soil and will provide structure needed so rain doesn’t wash the soil off the hillsides. It also structurally protects young shoots from being browsed immediately. As I bump on to my next assignment I can only admire the efforts of these crews both on the front end of the fire and ® doing equally excellent those work on the back end.

Peninsula Clarion

Open

By Jeff Helminiak Peninsula Clarion

The Peninsula Oilers will hold a cornhole tournament as a fundraiser Sunday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai.

Diana Tice, executive assistant for the team, first played cornhole in May 2017 at her daughter’s graduation. As soon as Michael Tice, Diana’s husband and the president of the Oilers board, and Diana returned home, Michael built a cornhole board.

Oilers general manager Victoria Smith was living with the Tices that summer.

While cornhole was new to the Tices, it was big in Missouri and Texas where Smith grew up.

Oilers coaches also got into the game as the summer went along. So this year, with the team needing to raise funds, the idea of the cornhole tournament was born.

“There’s obviously a skill in throwing, and it’s nice to spend time outdoors, and it goes fairly quickly,” Diana Tice said. “In 15 or 20 minutes, you can have a round completed.

“It’s not how athletic you are, it’s just a fun time.”

With the team facing a big budget shortfall for next year, the Oilers are looking to raise money as many ways as possible and Sunday will be another attempt.

As of Thursday afternoon, 18 players were signed up and there is plenty of room left in the tournament.

The tournament will be double elimination and starts at 3 p.m. Competition comes in groups of two, with a $50 registration fee per person that includes a drink and meal voucher. Tossers must be 18 years old. The deadline for registration is Saturday at 5 p.m.

Registration forms can be found at oilersbaseball.com and can be emailed to diana@oilersbaseball.com or dropped

off at the Oilers office at 601 S. Main St. Corporate sponsorship forms also can be found at oilersbaseball.com.

The team and coaching staff will be at the tournament to keep score.

“We’ll also have an option where you can pay to have a player throw for you,” Tice said. “I’m not going to guarantee the players will be good, but it might be fun to have a pitcher try and toss cornhole.”

Tice said this is designed to be a family event. The beer garden will be open and there will be food available. There also will be kids activities, including the bounce house and batting cages being opened.

“It’s going to be a good bonding, community experience for our team,” Tice said. “Even if it doesn’t make a lot of money, it will still be that.”

There will be six sets of boards, some with themes like stars and stripes, used for the tournament. They will be for sale after the tournament ends.

team even sent an alarming message out on social networks, saying all it cared about was “the welfare” of Dennis after Tour organizers announced he had pulled out of the race.

The Australian ultimately resurfaced at the finish line in Bagneres-deBigorre, where British rider Simon Yates, the reigning Spanish Vuelta champion, posted his first stage win after a long breakaway that did not shuffle the overall standings.

Dennis was spotted near the BahrainMerida team bus after the stage, but did not make any comment about his decision to pull out. “ We a re a l s o c o n f u s e d ,”

Bahrain-Merida team director Gorazd Stangelj said. “It was his decision today to stop at the feed zone. We tried to speak with him, he said ‘I just don’t want to talk,’ and abandoned the race.”

Dennis quit with about 80 kilometers left before the two big climbs in Stage 12, prompting Bahrain-Merida to open an investigation. According to the French TV station broadcasting the race, Dennis had an argument with officials in the team car.

Stangelj said Dennis’ condition was good enough to perform, adding he was not aware of any kind of argument that could have triggered the rider’s decision.

life, but that incident haunts me all these years (decades) later. I was living outside of the U.S. for a long time, so I didn’t try to get in touch with them or discuss why I behaved the way I did. I am likely to meet them in the near future, and I don’t know how to handle this if it comes up. What do you think I should do?

— REMEMBERING THE EARLY DAYS DEAR REMEMBERING: It is entirely possible that these individuals will not remember the incident.

If they raise the subject, apologize and explain to them the reasons you were reluctant to share the material. If they don’t mention it, then let it lie.

DEAR ABBY: Years ago, when I was trying to get into a professional school, I took some classes to prepare for the entrance exam.

It cost my dad money to put me through the training. A few of my classmates/friends asked me to share the training material with them. Because it was expensive and I was preparing for a competitive exam, which they were also taking, I refused.

Long story short, none of us passed the exam. We moved on and have all become successful in

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, July 19, 2019: This year, you’ll be a lot happier than you have been in many years.

Friendship will play a big role in making you more content. Your relationships in general will become far closer. If single, you’ve often dreamt about what you want but don’t often realize that wish. You could this year.

If you’re attached, you and your partner become far more connected than you have been in the past. Situations that had caused friction seem to flow. Your sweetie delights in the frequent flights of fantasy that your active imagination provides. PISCES helps inspire you to go for what you desire.

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 like doting on a close loved one or family member. To see your wish fulfilled, you still need to clear the path. Handle the issue and clear your desk.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Feelings run high, and you have a lot to deal with. Make doing so your pleasure because you know how to deal with emotions.

You’ll also help a loved one or child express his or her feelings. Tonight: Detach; go off to enjoy a favorite pastime.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You rarely defer to others.

HHH You might be concerned about completing a project that’s been on the back burner. You’ll feel much better as a result. A friend seeks you out. He or she wants to spend some time with you.

Finish this project first. Tonight: Celebrating!

Social Security scams Dear Readers: According to AARP, the Social Security Administration estimates that scammers call thousands of people every day in an effort to get financial information or SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS. Lately, they’ve intensified their efforts, usually asking you to confirm your Social Security number, bank account numbers or requesting a fee for some service, which they do not provide.

They may say your information has been linked to criminal activity, but be assured that it’s a lie.

Or they may call with good news, stating that you are entitled to a cost-of-living increase and ask you to verify your Social Security number. It’s a lie. They may sound official, and they may even threaten you with arrest, fines and prison time, but stay calm and hang up on the scammer.

DON’T return any robocalls on your voicemail or answering machine. Want to contact Social Security? Call customer service at 800-772-1213.

Rubes | Leigh Rubin

DON’T give out any information, no matter what the caller says.

DON’T click on links purported to be Social Security emails. They’re fake communications!

DON’T be a victim. Never give out personal or financial information.

— Heloise

SAFETY FOR CHILDREN Dear Heloise: One of the first things I taught my children was to memorize their name, street address, phone number, parents’ names and grandparents’ names. They knew the name of the company I worked for and my husband’s company name — all of this by the time they were 3 years old. If they ever got lost, separated or, God forbid, kidnapped, they could let police know where they lived, whom they belonged to and how to get hold of us.

ANCHORAGE — A tiny Native village in Southwest Alaska has turned to an emerging technology to transform the power of a local river into a sustainable energy source that’s expected to free residents from dependency on costly diesel fuel.

The village council in Igiugig is the first tribal entity in the nation licensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to harness river water that’s not connected to a dam. That means the community of 70 is authorized to proceed with the complex project and that the system went through rigorous reviews by state and federal agencies, according to a U.S. Department of Energy official working with the village.

“It’s a huge milestone,” said DOE engineer Steve DeWitt, who manages the agency’s water power projects. He said a similar non-tribal system will be installed next year in New York City’s East River. But that river is tidal, not continuously flowing like the Kvichak River in Igiugig, he said.

The Alaska endeavor was more than a decade in the making, with four companies initially vying to use the community as a test bed for the new technology, village leaders say.

“We would like clean renewable energy over diesel any day,” said tribal council President

AlexAnna Salmon. “We are a very environmentally focused community and that is in alignment with our cultural values, which is to leave as little footprint as possible on this earth.”

Salmon and other locals gathered with DeWitt and other visiting officials Tuesday to celebrate the upcoming installation of the “RivGen Power System” project developed by Portland, Maine-based Ocean Renewable Power Co. The company expects the 40-kilowatt system to supply up to one half of the Igiugig’s electricity, and ultimately up to 90% after the planned installation of a second device next year.

The first underwater twinturbine generator will ultimately be installed in coming days in the Kvichak River, part of a salmon-rich system that also provides subsistence food for the community’s residents, who are Athabascan, Yup’ik and Aleut. But first it will be set in the still waters of the nearby Iliana Lake for preliminary testing.

To reach this point, Ocean Renewable had to work out two main scenarios that worried village leaders. The system had to operate without hurting the millions of salmon passing through and it had to be able to avoid the river ice that breaks up after forming each winter.

Company officials say they’re confident the turbines won’t harm adult fish, based on a trial river run monitored with underwater cameras a few

summers ago of a prototype of the “RivGen Power System.”

CEO Chris Sauer said the prototype was in place during the peak of the salmon season, when at least 1.5 million fish swam by.

“There wasn’t a single injury or mortality,” Sauer said.

The system isn’t expected to affect the smaller juvenile salmon or interact with river ice, although real-world testing has not been done in that time of year, according to Sauer.

A University of Alaska Fairbanks biologist will be on hand when the system is activated to being operating by the end of the month, according to Monty Worthington, the company’s project development director.

The $4.4 million project is being paid for by state and federal funds, matching funds from the village and a development investment from Ocean Renewable, according to participants. Participants say U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, strongly supported the project and helped secure funding for it. Murkowski is the chair of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

Committee spokeswoman Tonya Parish said Wednesday that Murkowski, fellow Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska and Maine Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King wrote to Energy Secretary Rick Perry last year to urge the Energy Department to fund the project.
