U.S., Israel test missile defense system KODIAK — Israel and the United States completed a series of tests of the new long-range missile defense system in Alaska. A spokesperson with the U.S. Missile Defense Agency said in a statement the Arrow Weapon System testing including the successful interception of an “enemy” target. The tests were conducted at Pacific Spaceport Complex-Alaska in Kodiak. MDA Director Vice Adm. Jon Hill says the success in Kodiak helps with confidence in Israel’s ability to defeat the developing threats in its home region. The Israel Missile Defense Organization director Moshe Patel said the fact the tests were conducted tens of thousands of kilometers away from Israel, demonstrates the capabilities of the Arrow 3 system.

Legislation passed on to Dunleavy’s desk By Peter Segall Juneau Empire
In back-to-back floor sessions Monday, both chambers of the Alaska Legislature passed significant legislation on to Gov. Mike Dunleavy. In the morning, the House first voted to rescind its previous action on Senate Bill 2002, which failed by one vote on July 22. That bill reversed “the sweep” and passed a capital budget. Once rescinded, the House voted 31-to-seven in favor of the bill. That bill will now go to the governor. Dunleavy can veto certain items from the budget but he cannot veto the reverse sweep, meaning that there are now funds for the Alaska Performance Scholarship and the Power Cost Equalization programs. Members of the House Republican minority objected to the votes, saying that the
Legislature had already voted several times on this same issue. Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, said that he could find no instance in Alaska’s legislative history where the House had voted to rescind after a second consideration. He said the only course forward was an entirely new bill. House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, replied that the bill had been discussed with the Legislative Legal Division and that there was precedent for the this kind of a vote. Edgmon said that there was nearly a billion dollars at stake that needed to be captured for the good of the state. Rep. Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, said that she had spoken with U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, who told her that decisions regarding the federal money didn’t need to be made
immediately. In response to this, Rep. Gary Knopp, R-Kenai, said that it takes time to implement funding and that delaying any longer would cause further issues for Alaska. Once the House passed SB 2002, it was the Senate’s turn. The bill that restored much of the governor’s vetoes, House Bill 2001, passed out of the Senate after that chamber added four amendments to it. Amendments adding money for school debt bond reimbursement, veteran’s services, and rural schools all passed easily, but an amendment allocating a $1,600 Alaska Permanent Fund dividend encountered substantial resistance. Sen. Lora Reinbold, R-Eagle River, said she had voted for SB 2002, “under duress.” It was crucial that the Legislature follow the law, she said, and that this bill allowed the government

to spend beyond its means, something she could not condone. During her address to the floor, Senate Majority Leader Lyman Hoffman, D-Bethel, raised points of order four
times, asking her to remain on the topic of the current bill. Sen. David Wilson, R-Wasilla, entered an amendment which would have See budget, Page A2

Anchorage raises minimum age for tobacco, nicotine purchases ANCHORAGE — People wanting to buy tobacco and nicotine products in Anchorage will have to be at least 21 years old, starting next month. The Anchorage Daily News reports the new local law will go into effect Aug. 20. The move comes after the Anchorage Assembly unanimously approved an ordinance Tuesday that raises the age requirement from 19 to 21. The new rule applies to tobacco as well as electronic smoking devices containing nicotine. The statewide minimum age for tobacco is 19. Anchorage is the second Alaska city to raise the minimum age. Sitka was the first last year.

Kenai Central grad Allie Ostrander takes 4th at nationals, qualifies for Team USA at worlds Peninsular Clarion staff
Allie Ostrander, a 2015 graduate of Kenai Central, qualified for the world track and field championships in Qatar by taking fourth place in the 3,000-meter steeplechase Sunday at the USA Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. In an eight-lap race that started slow before livening up the last three laps, Ostrander
finished at 9 minutes, 38.52 seconds. That’s about seven seconds off her PR, but what matters is she will be racing for Team USA at worlds from Sept. 28 to Oct. 6. Ostrander was able to snap up the spot to worlds despite a series of grueling races. June 8 in Austin, Texas, Ostrander, then a Boise State redshirt junior, became the first woman to win three straight NCAA outdoor
steeplechase crowns and lowered her PR to 9:37.73. The temperature during her title run was 98 degrees, but she still came back 90 minutes later to finish 16th in the 5,000. June 30 in Palo Alto, California, Ostrander lowered her PR to 9:31.44 in finishing 13th against a world-class steeple field at the Prefontaine Classic. See worlds, Page A2
The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and two peninsula educator and staff associations will resume contract negotiations Aug. 13, David Brighton, president of the Kenai Peninsula Education Association, said. “We’ll see what (the district) have to say,” he said. “I hope we can come to an agreement and avoid a strike.” Pegge Erkeneff, communications liaison with the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, said in an email that a time and place has yet to be determined. “The district is hopeful that a agreement can be reached,” she said. The Kenai Peninsula Education Association and Kenai Peninsula Educational Support Association remain without a contract after their last bargaining session, June 11, ended without a labor agreement. The district offered ideas for a new contract at the June meeting, which took place just weeks after the associations voted to strike. After contract negotiations with the district hit a standstill, peninsula educators and staff voted May 22 to strike, with more than 75% of certified staff voting “yes” on a walkout. The associations planned to choose a strategic time to start the strike. For over a year, contract negotiations between the borough school district and the Kenai Peninsula Education Association and Kenai Peninsula Educational Support Association have snagged on the rising cost of health care. A previous agreement effective through June 2018 remains in use for employees without contracts. The associations are required to give the district a 72-hour notice ahead of any strike. District employees cannot be fired for participating in a legal strike. Brighton said the strike will not impact sports, which are already starting up prior to the school year’s start Aug. 20.

Ferry employees: ‘We want to go back to work’ By Peter Segall Juneau Empire
Ferry workers across Alaska are on strike for the sixth day, leaving some travelers stranded and workers still walking the picket line. The Alaska region of the Inlandboatmen’s Union of the Pacific has been meeting with state representatives and a federal mediator to try and bring an end to negotiations that have
gone on for nearly three years. Monday morning, IBU regional vice chair Robb Arnold said that the talks had been going well but that there were a few stumbling blocks that had caused an impasse. He would not go into detail as to what those were. Arnold said early Monday that further talks with the mediator had not yet been scheduled but IBU sent out a press release in the afternoon saying both sides had met with the mediator that morning.
“We’re not asking for much. We just want a fair contract.” Trina Arnold, IBU regional director
The press release described the talks with the federal mediator Beth Schindler as “very positive and
constructive.” IBU regional Director Trina Arnold said in the release that, “There were positive steps in our meeting that should allow both sides to reach a solution.” “We want to go back to work,” Arnold told the Empire Monday morning. “We’re not asking for much. We just want a fair contract.” Though while talks are progressing, some travelers are still stranded, See ferry strike, Page A2

allocated a full PFD but in two parts. It would have issued first a $1,600 PFD and then a supplemental $1,400 dividend in May. That amendment failed. Wilson said later, as it became clear that the bill was going to pass allocating only a $1,600 dividend, that he felt the Legislature was giving people “false hope.” Without a compromise with the governor, “the conversation isn’t over,” Wilson said. Passing this bill would most likely mean veto by Dunleavy and the Legislature finding themselves back in this same position very soon. Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, was in agreement with some of his Republican colleagues who said that a $3,000 PFD was the law and should be allocated. Wielechowski said that the state shouldn’t have to choose between a full PFD and state programs, and that other sources of revenue should be explored. He did vote for the bill, saying that not passing this bill would be far too damaging to the state. In the end, only Reinbold voted against the bill. Shortly thereafter, the House met again to concur with the Senate’s amendments. After short debate, the House passed the amended bill. There was more disagreement however, over whether or not the House should

qualifying time Friday to set up Sunday’s race. The 14-runner field moved as a pack for the first five laps, consistently putting down splits in the 1:18 range. The athlete with the most pedigree in the field is Emma Coburn, the reigning world champion in the event. She captured her sixth-straight national title in the steeplechase Sunday, and eighth overall. Coburn got things
adjourn “sine die,” or without a set date to reconvene. House Minority Leader Lance Pruitt, R-Anchorage, said that all the items on the call of the special session had been completed, and that staying at the capital cost a great deal of tax-payer money. What work was there left to do, Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, R-Anchorage, asked rhetorically. The House voted against adjourning sine die and set Wednesday, July 31 as its next meeting date. But in the hallways after the House adjourned many legislators said they were heading home, and that the work was done. It’s not clear how many will be back come Wednesday.
moving by running a 1:10.31 in the sixth of eight laps, and only three other runners could answer. Courtney Frerichs, the 2016 Olympian and American record holder in the event, plus Colleen Quigley and Ostrander stayed within two seconds of Coburn. The rest of the field fell more than four seconds behind Ostrander. This was significant because there were four world steeple berths up
for grabs because Coburn qualified automatically as the defending champ. While Coburn, Frerichs and Quigley were able to get away from Ostrander, the Soldotna runner was able to keep her splits at 1:12 to hold off fifth-place finisher Marisa Howard by about 13 seconds.

waiting for ferry service to resume. Anna Boshka and her family were in route from their Idaho to Prince William Island where she and her husband, both teachers, are moving for work. They had hoped to have arrived in their new home by now but the strike forced them to stop in Prince Rupert, British Colombia. Now Boshka and her husband, two daughters ages 10 and 8, dog and two cats, are staying at a campground in Prince Rupert, waiting for the strike to end. The family was driving with a rented U-Haul trailer ,
which, Boshka said, would be too expensive for the family to ship by private barge. However, despite their frustrations, Boshka said her sympathies lie with the striking workers. “I know what it’s like to have your livelihood threatened, my heart is absolutely with them,” she said. Just before noon, about two dozen IBU workers and supporters marched through downtown Juneau with drums and chimes, chanting and singing. Some of the marchers wore wings while others shook hands and took pictures with onlookers.

western Alaska hub town of Bethel. The Bethel City Council unanimously approved the regulations after some amendments, KYUK-AM reported. In the Tuesday decision, the council added a requirement that liquor stores employ security guards at night. Under the new rules, customers may buy no more than three bottles of hard alcohol a day. Some council members favored a two-bottle limit. The three-bottle limit was proposed by council member Fritz Charles as a compromise. “People that I love, whether it be my brothers, sisters, cousins, or uncles, they’re gonna die from alcohol. It’s part of life,” he said. Council member Perry Barr said anyone trying to purchase more than two bottles could signal criminal intent. “You know that they’re taking those three bottles per day, and taking it back to their villages and causing chaos and mayhem,” he said. “So if you don’t want two bottles per day, you might as well say you don’t care about humanity.” The changes also include an attempt to curb public alcohol consumption. Police previously had to catch people drinking, but now they can act if someone has an open container in public spaces. Now customers also must show state IDs, which show alcohol-restricted status. Those without that form of identification, however, may sign a written statement noting they are not on restricted status. Other changes approved update liquor store business hours. And fines for alcohol-related offenses have been simplified.

Searchers find body of man missing in southwest Alaska ANCHORAGE — Searchers have found the body of a man who disappeared in a slough outside a southwest Alaska village. Alaska State Troopers say searchers early Sunday night recovered the body of 19-year-old Clyde Edmund Jr. of Alakanuk. An autopsy has been scheduled in Anchorage. Witnesses on Wednesday saw Edmund jump into a slough in front of the village. He could not be found afterward. Troopers in Emmonak joined volunteers in searching for Edmund. Alakanuk is 162 miles northwest of Bethel and 15 miles from the Bering Sea on the major southern channel of the Yukon River.
Alaska beekeepers suspect pesticides in deaths of honeybees FAIRBANKS — Some Alaska beekeepers believe there is a connection between pesticides and an increase in honeybee deaths, a report said. Beekeepers and other residents asked the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly last week to pass an ordinance banning specific pesticides, The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Sunday. The borough can investigate, but does not have the authority to regulate pesticide sprays, assembly members said. “I don’t think that’s within our purview,” said borough attorney Jill Dolan. The first time a spray occurred near Lisa Hay’s hives, she noticed what appeared to be a pile of leaves but turned out to be a mound of dead bees. Inside the hive, bees were bumping into the walls and walking as though “intoxicated,” she said. “They’d come off the hive entrance and fall into the ground,” Hay said, adding that their honey was discolored while the wax was unusually thick. Hay singled out bifenthrin and deltamethrin, insecticides that are legal in the U.S. but must be certified for use on Alaska properties. Pesticides can drift between different properties if multiple pest elimination services are spraying in the same area, beekeepers said. Signs for several pest control services have appeared in the neighborhood where Debra Reeves lives and keeps bees. She has found a mound of dead bees and incapacitated bees on their sides. Her bee supplier advised she move the hives away from her property.

What others say
International community failed in efforts to prevent Ebola’s spread
O
n Wednesday, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared that the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a “health emergency of international concern”, a formal designation that underscores just how serious the situation has become. It is hoped that this declaration will mobilise desperately needed funding — to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars — to implement a new plan to control the epidemic. “It is time for the world to take notice and redouble our efforts. We need to work together in solidarity with the DRC to end this outbreak and build a better health system,” said WHO boss Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. But solving this crisis requires more than just money. When the outbreak was officially announced on August 1 2018, most experts thought it would be contained relatively easily. For one thing, the DRC has had plenty of experience in dealing with Ebola outbreaks — this is the 10th such outbreak in the country. For another, for the first time responders had a weapon with which to fight the virus: a new vaccine that had proved effective in trials. But 2,522 cases of the disease and an estimated 1,698 deaths later, it is clear that international efforts to prevent the spread of Ebola have failed. Last month, several cases of the virus were recorded in neighbouring Uganda; this week, an infected priest made it all the way to the regional capital Goma, a major transport hub, where he died. Several factors have hampered the medical response. One is the location of the outbreak, in the northeast of the country, which is both extremely poor and in the midst of conflict. It has been difficult, if not impossible, for medical teams to access all the affected areas. Another factor is a widespread mistrust of local authorities and the international community, which is hardly an irrational sentiment. After all, the Congolese government is one of the most corrupt and least effective in the world; and, in the DRC at least, the international community has a long track record of failing to protect citizens (take, for example, the peacekeepers — including South African soldiers — who have been repeatedly implicated in sexual assaults). Increased funding will undoubtedly help the international community to scale up its Ebola response. But don’t expect the outbreak to be contained until, somehow, local communities are given good reason to trust the responders. — The Mail & Guardian (South Africa), July 19

Governor’s vetoes don’t reflect Alaska’s values
ver the past month, Rasmuson Foundation’s board of directors has urged our elected leaders to compromise and seek solutions that are best for Alaska when addressing the state’s $1 billion-plus budget gap. We have stated our belief that a solution relying primarily on cuts will negatively impact critical services throughout the state, causing harm to many Alaskans. The Alaska Legislature responded with a budget that included $ 190 million of cuts, which was the largest decrease in year-onyear spending in state history, while preserving a high quality of life for our citizens. The governor’s vetoes announced June 28 will harm Alaska’s most vulnerable citizens and have a significant and detrimental impact on our state’s economy. The impact of these decisions will carry negative consequences well beyond this year, impacting generations to come. The budget he signed into law has set off a battle that addresses the soul of Alaska, who we are and what we represent, and the kind of state we hope to leave to future generations. Since 2016, Rasmuson Foundation has been conversing with Alaskans about the budget through town halls, community meetings and online discussions. Research shows that a majority of Alaskans prefer a multifaceted approach to balancing our state budget. Yes, this includes reducing spending, but it also means exploring new ways to generate revenue and the use of Alaska Permanent Fund earnings will need to be part of the solution. The vetoes must be closely examined by our elected officials: ■■ The defunding of housing and services for families and individuals experiencing homelessness is inhumane. It’s estimated that the cuts to Brother Francis Shelter, Clare House, Covenant House and AWAIC in Anchorage will put hundreds of people out on the street adding to an already intolerable homeless population of 1,100.
The governor’s vetoes announced June 28 will harm Alaska’s most vulnerable citizens. ... The impact of these decisions will carry negative consequences well beyond this year, impacting generations to come. ■■ Very low-income seniors will be pushed into homelessness with the loss of their senior benefits. ■■ The closing of Head Start programs for low-income families will decimate the childcare now available to working parents and force many into public assistance. ■■ Seven hundred professionals will be laid off from the University of Alaska Anchorage and 40 student programs will be shuttered. It’s estimated that 3,000 students will be directly affected. Whether a local government, business, nonprofit or individual, we all benefit when we are able to plan. Businesses want certainty in regulation and taxation, which in turn allows them to build strategy. Individuals base decisions like buying a house on what they expect their annual household income to be. Dramatic changes — the sudden repeal of a law or elimination of a job — can cause chaos, not just on an individual level, but across entire communities. Nonprofits are no different. They build their budgets each year using the best available data. When you cut expenditures for homeless services, housing, legal assistance, telecommunications and health care as dramatically as was proposed by Gov. Mike Dunleavy, our nonprofits will have to drastically change the way they do business, and they’ll have to do it overnight. It will be the financial equivalent of the 7.1 earthquake that hit Southcentral last November. But this time, there is no state or federal agency to step in and help handle the emergency. That’s because Alaska’s nonprofits handle emergencies on a daily
basis as they are the stopgap between homelessness and having a place to rest your head. Between hunger and having a warm meal. The place that houses women and children who need a safe haven. Total state general fund spending has been cut from almost $7.8 billion in FY 2013 to about $4.5 billion in FY 2018. It is change that has been painful but measured in annual steps. As a result, systems in health care, education, resource management and the arts continue to serve Alaskans while adapting to our new reality. Massive cuts will dismantle, in just one year, services, organizations, and programs that took decades to build. These cuts are a priority of the governor, but what about Alaskans? Do these cuts represent the philosophies and beliefs of Alaskans? Given the high level of community support across the state for nonprofits and education, from the arts to services for the poor and vulnerable, it seems unlikely that the depth of these cuts represents Alaska residents’ beliefs. Rasmuson Foundation promotes a better life for Alaskans. Our mission guides us every day to be part of a solution which improves the quality of life for all Alaskans. We believe notice is critical for Alaskans to plan, make the hard decisions and adjust. Reducing spending — dramatically and on such short notice — will significantly diminish certainty and confidence in Alaska. We can and must do better. The budget, as reduced by the governor’s vetoes, does not embody the values of the Alaska we all support and love. Diane Kaplan is president and CEO of the Rasmuson Foundation.

Once the state income tax is available to legislators to spend on essential programs, then legislators can argue, hopefully reaching by compromise the best appropriations to essential needs of Alaska residents. They should be able to accomplish their jobs in allotted time given — no overtime sessions — as they serve Alaska residents to the best of their ability.

sportfish division has not been forthcoming yet with the data. You do not have to be Gregor Mendel to recognize the human impact on the genetics of these species. Truthfully, Kenai kings are smaller and fewer, and so are the reds. Please indulge me some magic math. Currently 600,000 reds have been counted in the Kenai river. Add 600,000 harvested in the dipnet fishery and, VOILA! There is the in-river goal! Count the dipnet harvest six months after the season and before the counters with a 15% non-returned — those numbers are moot? The fleet and beach should not be restricted. One last comment, since the Alaska board of fisheries operates on the sustainable fishery policy, take a long hard look at the dipnet fishery, which originated on surplus stocks. An unlimited fishery is an unsustainable fishery! I can only conclude a basic hypocrisy exists in the management of this resource. The impact in a few decades is extremely graphic. — John McCombs Ninilchik

Baltimore-area district fires back at Trump’s comments By Juana Summers and Regina Garcia Cano Associated Press
BALTIMORE — As Latoya Peoples painted a mural with high school-age students Monday in Baltimore, she was determined not to let President Donald Trump’s recent tweets about the city “sink in too much.” Peoples was in Sandtown-Winchester, the West Baltimore neighborhood where Freddie Gray grew up years before his death in police custody in 2015 prompted a racial uprising. Now Baltimore is in the spotlight again, this time because of the president’s recent attacks on Rep. Elijah Cummings, a powerful Trump critic who has represented Maryland in Congress for decades. Trump called the congressman’s district a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human being would want to live.” While parts of Maryland’s 7th Congressional District have struggled with poverty and crime, it also includes more affluent areas and famous Baltimore landmarks such as Johns Hopkins University and its hospital, as well as the Social Security Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Elsewhere are cultural touchstones like the Baltimore Museum of Art and the world-class Walters Art Museum. The president’s comments have rocked Maryland’s largest city, and residents say their home bears no resemblance to the place Trump described. “People think you can’t walk through here. It’s intimidating,” Peoples said of her district. “It’s nothing like that.” The district is a study in contrasts, with long stretches of empty storefronts and boarded-up homes, and trendy neighborhoods dotted with manicured parks and restaurants. It also includes Pimlico Race Course, which is home to the Preakness Stakes, the second jewel of horse-racing’s Triple Crown. Cummings’ district, which is nearly 53% black, stretches beyond Baltimore to include parts of Baltimore and Howard counties. The latter is routinely counted among the nation’s most affluent counties. The district’s median household income is $60,929, though there is a sizeable wealth gap between white and black residents. Few residents will deny that Baltimore is struggling, particularly when it comes to violent crime and drugs. The city’s murder rate has soared in recent years, with Baltimore recording more than 300 homicides in 2018, most from gunfire. Residents say those struggles have compounded over the years, owing to institutional segregation and neglect by the federal government.
letters to the editor
State income tax will solve budget issues Personal opinions are involved when legislators decide — what should we cut? Every cut will be an essential loss to some group. Legislators must stop arguing, which does not serve Alaska residents until they answer one question — how should we get enough money to run essential programs of state government? My answer is establish a state income tax again. Many people in Alaska catching Alaska fish commercially or working for oil companies are removing Alaska resources and not spending much of earnings in Alaska because they live in another state and pay their federal and state taxes to that state. They should pay State of Alaska income taxes to support Alaska employees who keep those resources operating and available. Alaska deserves their money, not the state they live in. Also, all employees or private business employees

Intelligence chief choice raises doubts By Eric Tucker, Mary Clare Jalonick and Deb Riechmann Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s pick for national intelligence director has been mayor of a small Texas city, a federal prosecutor and a member of Congress. But questions were already emerging Monday about whether those qualifications are adequate for the position as the nation confronts threats that include foreign election interference, North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and the risk of war with Iran. Rep. John Ratcliffe is also known as a Trump loyalist, which makes his lack of relevant experience even more striking at a time when current and former government officials expect Russia to interfere in the 2020 presidential election just as it did in unprecedented fashion when Trump first ran. “Ratcliffe comes to the job with the least national security experience and the most partisan political experience of any previous director of national intelligence,” said Michael Morell, a former acting CIA director who now hosts
the “Intelligence Matters” podcast. The director of national intelligence has oversight of the nation’s 17 intelligence agencies, a significant job touching all corners of national security policymaking. If confirmed, Ratcliffe would be the principal intelligence adviser to Trump, who has appeared determined to surround himself with protectors and defenders even in national security positions that haven’t historically been perceived as overtly partisan. It is unclear what specific experience Ratcliffe will bring in helping thwart foreign government efforts to interfere in American politics. Also unknown is whether skepticism he has voiced in Congress about special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign will affect his preparation for, or response to, any foreign influence or cyberattacks on campaigns. Ratcliffe, who was among the most aggressive Republican questioners of Mueller at public hearings last week, would replace outgoing director Dan Coats at a time of broader reshuffling within the national security leadership structure.
The selection comes months after Trump empowered another ally, Attorney General William Barr, to disclose still-secret intelligence collected by other agencies, including the CIA, during the Russia investigation. Ratcliffe has made clear his skepticism of that investigation and his belief that Trump was treated improperly by investigators, saying in a talk show appearance Sunday that it was time to move on from discussion of impeachment. “It’s a moment when Donald Trump can deepen his personal stranglehold over the intelligence function and knock out any voices of dissent to his particular world view,” said Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland. “That’s a scary thing for the country.” Coats, who will step down next month, repeatedly clashed with Trump. He was publicly steadfast about his conviction that Russia had interfered in the election even in the face of the president’s ambivalence. He appeared to scoff when told in an interview that Trump had invited Putin to Washington. In his resignation letter, he cited as an accomplishment the appointment
of an election security executive “to support the whole-of-government effort to address threats against our election.” Tensions with Trump notwithstanding, Coats did bring to the job decades of Washington experience, including lengthy stints as an Indiana congressman and U.S. ambassador to Germany. His predecessor in the Obama administration, James Clapper, spent decades in the military and in intelligence, including as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Ratcliffe does not have equivalent credentials, though his supporters are likely to point to his experience as a terrorism prosecutor and federal prosecutor, as well as his recent membership on the House intelligence committee, which he joined in January. First elected to Congress in 2014, Ratcliffe’s experience as top federal prosecutor in east Texas gave him instant clout when Republicans ran the Judiciary panel. He was one of the main questioners when Republicans hauled in Justice Department officials to question them about whether they were biased against Trump in the early days of the FBI’s Russia probe.
Gunman posted online minutes before killing 3 at garlic festival in California By Kathleen Ronayne and Julie Watson Associated Press
GILROY, Calif. — Before a 19-year-old gunman opened fire on a famed garlic festival in his California hometown, he urged his Instagram followers to read a 19th century book popular with white supremacists on extremist websites, but his motives for killing two children and another young man were still a mystery Monday. Santino William Legan posted the caption about the book “Might is Right” with a photo of Smokey the Bear in front of a “fire danger” sign. He posted another photo from the Gilroy Garlic Festival minutes before he shot into the crowd Sunday with an “AK-47type” weapon, killing a 6-year-old boy, a 13-year-old girl and a recent college graduate. Under it, he wrote: “Ayyy garlic festival time” and “Come get wasted on overpriced” items. Legan’s since-deleted Instagram account says he is Italian and Iranian. The postings are among the first details that have emerged about Legan since the shooting injured 12 others and sent people running and diving under tables. Police patrolling the event responded

FBI personnel pass a ticket booth at the Gilroy Garlic Festival Monday, in California, the morning after a gunman killed at least three people, including a 6-year-old boy, and wounding about 15 others. A law enforcement official identified the gunman, who was shot and killed by police, as Santino William Legan.
within a minute and killed Legan as he turned the weapon on them. He legally purchased the gun this month in Nevada, where his last address is listed. He would have been barred from buying it in California, which restricts firearms purchases to people over 21. In Nevada, the limit is 18. Legan grew up less than a mile from the park where the city known as the “Garlic Capital of the World” has held its three-day festival for
four decades, attracting more than 100,000 people with music, food booths and cooking classes. Authorities were searching for clues as to what caused the son of a prominent local family to go on such a rampage. His father was a competitive runner and coach, a brother was an accomplished young boxer and his grandfather had been a supervisor in Santa Clara County. Police searched the two-story
Legan family home and a dusty car parked out front, leaving with paper bags. Authorities also searched an apartment they believed Legan used this month in remote northern Nevada. Officials didn’t say what they found or were looking for in either place. A law enforcement official said investigators believe the gunman used a WASR-10, a variant of an AK-47, that he bought from Big Mikes Gun and Ammo in Nevada earlier this month. The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Big Mike’s Guns and Ammo, which appears to be a homebased internet gun shop in Fallon, posted on its Facebook page that “we are heartbroken this could ever happen” and that Legan “was acting happy and showed no reasons for concern” when the store owner met him. Police had just completed training in how to respond to an active shooter. While they had prepared for the worst, they never expected to put their skills to use in Gilroy, a city of about 50,000 about 80 miles southeast of San Francisco known for the pungent smell of the prize flowering crop grown in the surrounding fields — garlic.
Puerto Ricans anxious for new leader Associated Press
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — The unprecedented resignation of Puerto Rico’s governor after days of massive island-wide protests has thrown the U.S. territory into a full-blown political crisis. Less than four days before Gov. Ricardo Rosselló steps down, no one knows who will take his place. Justice Secretary Wanda Vázquez, his constitutional successor, said Sunday that she didn’t want the job. The next in line would be Education Secretary Eligio Hernández, a largely unknown bureaucrat with little political experience. Rosselló’s party says it wants him to nominate a successor before he steps down, but Rosselló has said nothing about his plans, time is running out and some on the island are even talking about the need for more federal control over a territory whose finances are already overseen from Washington. Rosselló resigned following nearly two weeks of daily protests in which hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans took to the streets, mounted horses and jet skis, organized a twerkathon and came up with other creative ways to demand his ouster. On Monday, protesters were to gather once again, but this time to demand that Vázquez not assume the governorship. Under
normal circumstances, Rosselló’s successor would be the territory’s secretary of state, but veteran politician Luis Rivera Marín resigned from that post on July 13 as part of the scandal that toppled the governor. Vázquez, a 59-year-old prosecutor who worked as a district attorney and was later director of the Office for Women’s Rights, does not have widespread support among Puerto Ricans. Many have criticized her for not being aggressive enough in investigating cases involving members of the party that she and Rosselló belong to, and of not prioritizing gender violence as justice secretary. She also has been accused of not pursuing the alleged mismanagement of supplies for victims of Hurricane Maria. Facing a new wave of protests, Vázquez tweeted Sunday that she had no desire to succeed Rosselló. “I have no interest in the governor’s office,” she wrote. “I hope the governor nominates a secretary of state before Aug. 2.” If a secretary of state is not nominated before Rosselló resigns, Vázquez would automatically become the new governor. She would then have the power to nominate a secretary of state, or she could also reject being governor, in which case the constitution states the treasury secretary
would be next in line. However, Treasury Secretary Francisco Parés is 31 years old, and the constitution dictates a governor has to be at least 35. In that case, the governorship would go to Hernández, who replaced the former education secretary, Julia Keleher, who resigned in April and was arrested on July 10 on federal corruption charges. She has pleaded not guilty. But Hernández has not been clear on whether he would accept becoming governor. “At this time, this public servant is focused solely and exclusively on the work of the Department of Education,” he told Radio Isla 1320 AM on Monday. A spokesman for Hernandez did not return a message seeking comment. Meanwhile, Puerto Ricans are growing anxious about what the lack of leadership could mean for the island’s political and economic future. “It’s very important that the government have a certain degree of stability, said Luis Rodríguez, a 36-year-old accountant, adding that all political parties should be paying attention to what’s happening. “We’re tired of the various political parties that always climb to power and have let us down a bit and have taken the island to the point where it finds itself right now.”
Héctor Luis Acevedo, a university professor and former secretary of state, said both the governor’s party and the main opposition party that he supports, the Popular Democratic Party, have weakened in recent years. He added that new leadership needs to be found soon. “These uncertainties are dangerous in a democracy because they tend to strengthen the extremes,” he said. “This vacuum is greatly harming the island.” Puerto Ricans until recently had celebrated that Rosselló and more than a dozen other officials had resigned in the wake of an obscenity-laced chat in which they mocked women and the victims of Hurricane Maria, among others, in 889 pages leaked on July 13. But now, many are concerned that the government is not moving quickly enough to restore order and leadership to an island mired in a 13-year recession as it struggles to recover from the Category 4 storm and tries to restructure a portion of its more than $70 billion public debt load. Gabriel Rodríguez Aguiló, a member of Rosselló’s New Progressive Party, which supports statehood, said in a telephone interview that legislators are waiting on Rosselló to nominate a secretary of state, who would then become governor since Vázquez has said she is not interested in the position.

Senate bows to vetoes, allows arms sales
WASHINGTON — The Senate has failed in a bid to override a series of vetoes issued by President Donald Trump, allowing the administration to move forward with plans to sell billions of dollars of weapons to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Trump’s decision to sell the weapons in a way that would have bypassed congressional review infuriated lawmakers from both parties. In a bipartisan pushback, Democrats and Republicans banded together to pass resolutions blocking the $8.1 billion weapons sales to the U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf. A vote Monday to override Trump’s vetoes failed, 45-40. A twothirds vote was needed.
Asylum for threatened immigrant family members may be limited PHOENIX — Immigrants who fear persecution because of their family ties will no longer be eligible for asylum under a new rule issued by U.S. Attorney General William Barr. Barr on Monday announced he was no longer allowing members of a family to be considered a “social group” if their lives are threatened simply because they are related to someone. People can seek asylum in the U.S. if they can prove a wellfounded fear of persecution based on their race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in specific social group. Until now, asylum seekers who were threatened because of something their family member did or did not do were eligible. Attorneys general under President Donald Trump have taken several actions to limit asylum.It is unclear how many people are affected, but advocates say it could be thousands.
Capital One target of massive data breach Capital One says a hacker got access to the personal information of over 100 million individuals applying for credit. The McLean, Virginia-based bank said Monday it found out about the vulnerability in its system July 19 and immediately sought help from law enforcement to catch the perpetrator. The FBI has arrested the person, reportedly in Seattle, according to a report in The Washington Post. Capital One says it believes that it is unlikely that the information was used for fraud , but it will continue to investigate. The hacker got information including credit scores and balances plus the Social Security numbers of about 140,000 customers. It will offer free credit monitoring services to those affected. The data breach affected about 100 million people in the U.S. and 6 million in Canada.
around the world 57 dead, 16 decapitated in Brazil prison riot RIO DE JANEIRO — At least 57 prisoners were killed by other inmates during clashes between organized crime groups in the Altamira prison in northern Brazil Monday with 16 of the victims being decapitated, according to prison officials. Para state prison authorities a fight erupted around 7 a.m., between the Rio de Janeirobased Comando Vermelho and a local criminal group known as Comando Classe A. “Leaders of the (Comando Classe A) set fire to a cell belonging to one of the prison’s pavilions, where members of the (Comando Vermelho) were located,” the statement read. State prisons chief Jarbas Vasconcelos said the fire had spread rapidly, with inmates held in old container units that had been adapted for the prison while another building is under construction. Two prison staff members were held hostage, but eventually released. “It was a targeted attack. The aim was to show that it was a settling of accounts between the two groups, not a protest or rebellion against the prison system,” Vasconcelos said. — Associated Press

Juneau ends season for Twins Staff Report Peninsula Clarion
The Post 20 Twins saw their season end Sunday with a 4-3 loss to Juneau at the American Legion state tournament at Mulcahy Stadium in Anchorage. After the Twins, the No. 4 seed, scored three runs in the top of the sixth to tie the game at 3, Juneau, the No. 2 seed and two-time defending state champs, pushed across a run in the bottom of the sixth. “It was a great game, we just made a couple mistakes, some on the base paths,” Twins coach Robb Quelland said after the local nine came up short of repeating state titles of 1991, 1995, 2012 and 2016. “Anytime you are the underdog against the twotime defending state champions, a couple of mistakes will probably cost you. “I’m very proud of these young men.”
The Twins, who finish 22-13-1 overall, tried to battle back with one away in the top of the seventh when David Michael doubled but was out trying to stretch the play to a triple due to what Quelland said was a miscommunication. Mose Hayes pitched all six innings for the Twins, giving up four runs — three earned — on just four hits while walking five and striking out three. “Mose Hayes was a warrior on the mound once again,” Quelland said. Three of the runs Hayes gave up came on a wild pitch, passed ball and sacrifice fly. Quelland said Juneau has an older roster, but his team did not back down. “We went toe-to-toe with them,” said Quelland, whose team outhit Juneau 8-4. “A couple of plays didn’t go in our favor and in baseball it’s all about the little things.” On defense, Quelland said Michael, the shortstop, made an
impressive play going to his right. The Twins had hits up and down the lineup with Michael and Tanner Ussing leading the way with two hits, and Jeremy Kupferschmid, Seth Adkins, Harrison Metz and Logan Smith collecting a hit apiece. Donavin McCurley went all seven for Juneau, giving up eight hits and three runs while walking five and striking out four. “I just wish we had one more week to play,” Quelland said. “We were just starting to click.” Smith, Michael, Kupferschmid and Adkins aged out of Legion play. “We have a solid core coming back,” Quelland said. “They’re young, eager and, from the first day of practice to this tournament, they got to see what it takes to compete at this level.” Quelland said he’s proud of what the Twins are able to do despite combining three schools together and still coming up short on
numbers. The Twins had just 12 players this year and two coaches. They still made the state tournament for the 33rd straight year. Quelland also said opposing teams were cheering for the Twins against Juneau. “That tells you how much the program is liked and respected when your competition is wishing you well,” he said. Also Sunday, the Legion Team of Excellence was announced, with Smith and Hayes getting the call at starting pitcher, and Michael making it at infielder. Hayes also was honorable mention at infield, while Smith was honorable mention at utility player. Smith, a 2018 graduate of Soldotna High School, did not play in college this year. He helped coach SoHi then had a season for the Twins that earned him a baseball slot at Pierce College in Puyallup, Washington. “We are so proud of him,”
Quelland said. “He took a year off to stay home with family and find himself. He helped coach the high school team and we look forward to him playing in college.” Hayes proved himself once again Sunday. “Just talk about a solid young man,” Quelland said. “He has the wrestling mentality. He’s a state wrestler. No challenge is too big for him. He thrives on competition and the big game.” Michael will play baseball at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo County, California. Also for the Twins, Harrison Metz earned honorable mention as a pitcher and utility player and Kupferschmid earned honorable mention in the outfield. Both Kupferschmid and Adkins will try to walk on at college — Kupferschmid at Western Colorado in Gunnison and Adkins at Chapman University in Orange, California.
Dressel takes 8 medals at worlds GWANGJU, South Korea (AP) — Exhaustion and relief flooded Caeleb Dressel. Maybe now the comparisons with Michael Phelps can fade away. Dressel won eight medals, including six golds, at the world swimming championships, the biggest meet outside the Olympics. Two years ago in Hungary, he tied Phelps’ record of seven golds at a single worlds, including three in one night. Dressel set his own standard in Gwangju, where he again won three golds in a single night. “There’s parts during the meet where it’s not the greatest feeling — the stress that you feel, the pressure I put on myself,” he said, adding, “I do enjoy it, the challenge that it brings.” On Sunday, Dressel capped his eight-day run with silver in the 4x100meter medley relay. He hauled the U.S. from fourth to first on his butterfly leg with a split of 49.28 seconds — the only sub-50 second fly leg in the field. Had anchor Nathan Adrian not been overtaken by Britain’s Duncan Scott in the closing meters, Dressel would have won a seventh gold. Adrian and relay teammates Ryan Murphy and
Andrew Wilson were upset they didn’t deliver. “I was the first guy in the water and I would say I had a pretty embarrassing performance,” Murphy said. “It kind of put us in a hole from the beginning.” Wilson added, “All of us are just finding places where it’s on us. We just all need to be better and we will be next year. It’s frustrating now but it’s fuel for the next year.” Heading into its first Olympics in the post-Phelps era, the U.S. appears in good shape for Tokyo. After a slow start in Gwangju, the Americans finished with 27 medals in the pool, including a leading 14 golds. They won the team title and Dressel earned male swimmer of the meet honors. The U.S. set five world records, including two by 17-year-old backstroker Regan Smith. Australia was second with 19 and five golds. The U.S. likely would have had two more medals if Katie Ledecky hadn’t gotten sick. She withdrew from the 200 free heats and 1,500 free final while spending two days away from the pool. Her lone gold came in the 800 free after a gutsy last lap in which she pulled away from Italy’s Simona Quadarella.
Hamlin nabs win at Pocono Raceway LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Denny Hamlin had enough speed In his Toyota, enough confidence in his crew chief, and just enough fuel to reach the finish line. Hamlin got the win Sunday at Pocono Raceway — his fifth at the tri-oval track nestled in the mountains — but so much more could be on the horizon. At 38, Hamlin is having one of the best seasons of his career for Joe Gibbs Racing. He has a Daytona 500 victory, and two other wins and just maybe, his best shot at a NASCAR Cup Series championship since he fell short in 2014. “I feel as long as we keep putting the effort in what we’re doing, I have as good a shot as any,” Hamlin said. The Cup championship has eluded Hamlin but not much else has over a fantastic career that took off as a rookie in 2006 when he swept two Pocono races. He won two straight races at Pocono over the 2009 and 2010 seasons, but often struggled in recent years to seriously compete for a win on the tri-oval track. He needed a bit of everything to go right over the final laps Sunday to reverse his fortune
and win for the first time since March in Texas. Hamlin had to clear JGR teammates Erik Jones and Martin Truex Jr., then had to conserve fuel in the No. 11 for when he needed it on two late restarts, including the final one in overtime. Hamlin is coming off his first full winless season of his career and split with crew chief Michael Wheeler, with JGR giving the reigns to Chris Gabehart. Hamlin said he has full faith in the first-year Cup crew chief and followed his directives on fuel. Gabehart made all the right calls atop the pit box. “I just let him go, get the lead,” Gabehart said. “Then as soon as he got out front, I pulled the reins on him, started putting some in the bank.” That was enough for Hamlin. “Win or lose, he comes up with the plays, and I’m the one that needs to execute it,” Hamlin said. “When he said, ‘OK, I need two positions on this restart,’ I got to go get two positions. He’s really done a good job of knowing what it takes to win in the Cup Series in his rookie season. I mean, he’s going to be around for a very long time.”

Oilers play waiting game Peninsula’s playoff fate hinges on performance of Chinooks By Jeff Helminiak Peninsula Clarion
The Peninsula Oilers finished their regular season Sunday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai by splitting a doubleheader against the Anchorage Bucs. Now, Peninsula plays the waiting game. As a result of the 1-0 loss and 8-7 victory, the Oilers finish Alaska Baseball League play at 15-29 in their battle with the Chugiak-Eagle River Chinooks for the fourth and final spot in the Top of the World Playoffs. The Chinooks are currently at 13-28 and have two games left — today on the road against the Mat-Su Miners, and Wednesday at home against the Miners. Chugiak-Eagle River lost 5-1 at home Monday to the Anchorage Glacier Pilots. The Chinooks now must win both of their remaining games to have a shot at the playoffs. If the Chinooks win their last two, things get interesting. Chugiak-Eagle River would then have one less game than the Oilers due to a rained out contest vs. the Bucs on July 23. If that game were not to be made up, the Chinooks would make the playoffs due to having a better winning percentage. But Oilers head coach Kyle Brown and general manager Victoria Smith said Sunday that the game should be made up if the Chinooks win their last two. That’s because if Chugiak-Eagle River would lose the makeup game, the Chinooks and Oilers finish with the same record and the Oilers go to the playoffs based on having a better head-to-head record. “That game should me made up if it impacts the playoff race,” Brown said. Smith said the ABL’s bylaws say that games that impact the
playoff race must be made up. The Oilers or Chinooks would get the Bucs, who have the league’s top record at 29-14, in the first round. The Pilots (26-18) and Miners (24-18) would play in the other semifinal. The Oilers were able to force the Chinooks to win their last two by shaking off a rough loss in Sunday’s first game. Connor McCord sparkled for the Oilers, going all seven innings and giving up five hits and a run while walking just one and striking out 13. The 13 whiffs were the most by a pitcher in the ABL this season. But Mason Wells outdueled McCord, pitching seven scoreless innings and giving up three hits while walking none and striking out six. “In the first inning, he caught a groove and rolled with it through the whole game,” Bucs coach Grant Palmer said of Wells. McCord said Sunday was not even his best outing of the year. July 9 against the Pilots, McCord went seven innings of a nine-inning game without allowing a hit. Against the Bucs, McCord said all four of his pitches were working. He added his changeup was key to keeping Anchorage off balance. The Western Oregon junior said he didn’t even get a lot of strikeouts in his first two years of college ball, but now he is second in the ABL with 45. “I learned a lot from my pitching coach,” he said of Western Oregon’s Mike McInerney. “He taught me to throw every pitch with intent and to throw it hard.” In the third, Ryan Sullivan doubled to the wall to score Chad Castillo from first with the winning run. Sullivan is second in the league with 13 doubles.

“He’s kind of been that guy,” Palmer said of Sullivan. “He’s had big hits all season for us.” Brown has been saying for a while that they key to the Oilers success is producing with two outs. Peninsula did that in a big way to take the second game. Down 2-1 entering the bottom of the fourth, the Oilers scored all seven runs with two away to take a commanding 8-2 lead. A little burst of wildness by Bucs starter Brett Finnel was enough to tag him with the loss. The Oilers got four hits in the inning, but Finnell helped things along by hitting two batters and also issuing his only two walks of the game. The Oilers then held on for dear life as the Bucs stormed back. Starter and winner Jonathan Carlos gave up his third run of the game before departing after five. Reliever Jake Fenn then gave up a run in the sixth for an 8-4 lead. Heath Olive came in to close and struggled with wildness, walking two and hitting one as the Bucs closed the gap to 8-7 and had the bases loaded with two outs before Chaney Rogers flew out to third. “He just likes to make things interesting,” said Brown of Olive. The Oilers bullpen sat silent in the crucial game as the Bucs
rallied and even after Brown made a visit to the mound. “I told him I was going to ride or die with him,” Brown said. “I wasn’t going to take that dude out until he lost the lead.” Giancarlo Servin led the Oilers with two hits, while Bobby Goodloe and Jonah Henrickson joined Servin with two RBIs. Travis Bohall scored a pair of runs. Castillo, Victor Cerny and Braxton Bohrofen had two hits for the Bucs. The Oilers also got some good news this weekend on the coaching front. Assistant Ryan Doran left the team after being promoted to pitching coach and recruiting coordinator for Division I New Mexico State University, which Brown said is a major jump from Doran’s past job at a junior college in California. Also in coaching news, Gary Adock attended a few Oilers games this week in his capacity as head coach at Cal Baptist. Adcock has the top winning percentage in Oilers history at .676 after serving as head coach in 1999 and 2000. That helped him land an assistant’s job at UCLA from 2001 to 2003, then the head coaching gig at Cap Baptist in 2004, where he has been ever since as the most successful and longest tenured coach the school has had.

Dickerson, Johnson excel at Alyeska run Staff Report Peninsula Clarion
Seward’s Erik Johnson and Anchorage’s Julianne Dickerson led mountain runners with Kenai Peninsula ties Sunday at the Cirque Series Alyeska mountain race. Runners can register for any of three categories, but all run the same course of 5.9 miles and 3,890 vertical feet. The pro category has prize money, the expert category is for those with a lot of mountain experience, and the sport category is for those without a ton of mountain experience. Johnson took first place in the expert division at 1 hour, 11 minutes and 12 seconds, while Seiji Takagi of Anchorage was second at 1:14:31. Johnson was fifth overall, with two-time Mount Marathon Race champ and Alaska Pacific University skier David Norris winning at 1:04:55. Dickerson, who was raised in Kenai, was second in the pro division to APU and Olympic skier Rosie Frankowski. Frankowski ran 1:18:37, while Dickerson was next at 1:22:46. The duo also was first and second overall. Seward’s Ruby Lindquist was third in the expert division and seventh overall at 1:28:08, while Seward’s
Pyper Dixon was fifth in the pro division and sixth overall at 1:11:28, and 2015 Kenai Central graduate Jordan Theisen was 10th in the pro division and 12th overall at 1:15:32. Seward’s Kellyann Cavaretta was ninth in the sport division and 33rd overall at 1:48:55.

Bernal captures Tour de France at just 22 PARIS (AP) — The skies over Paris were yellow, ignited by a glorious golden sunset. The partying fans’ shirts were yellow, Colombians making themselves at home on the Champs-Elysees. But the yellow that counted most was the iconic jersey that fit so snugly on the slim shoulders of Egan Bernal. His crowning Sunday as the Tour de France’s youngest post-World War II champion, and its first from South America, heralded the birth of a new supernova in the cycling universe. Winning a Tour for the ages at the unusually young age of 22 immediately
prompted the question: How many more might he win? Get this: He’s younger than the Tour’s greatest champions — five-time winners Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain — all were when they were first crowned. Pity those in the peloton who also hope to win future editions of cycling’s greatest race: They could be in for quite a wait. “I am the most happy guy in the world. I just won the Tour de France, and, yeah, I can’t believe it,” Bernal said, looking bemused on the podium in the race winner’s jersey and silhouetted by the splendid sunset.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You could feel pressured all day by a personal matter and work. How can you do it all? You cannot. Once you recognize your limitations, you find solutions and smile again. Tonight: Stay close to home.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Speak your mind, though you could find that your audience is less than receptive. You might find others to be demanding, and they feel the same about you. Relax and loosen up. You'll get over this bump
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Your possessiveness emerges even if you do not want others to see it. Consider why you would feel insecure in this situation. What would you like to change? Do your best to correct that insecurity in the next few months. Tonight: Curb extravagance.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Beam in more of what you want. Tap into a long-term dream, and you might be able to make it real. Drop the word "impossible" from your vocabulary, for starters. Another person's power play falls flat, at least with you. Tonight: Full of fun and laughter.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Make sure you don't
miss a meeting. What you hear could cause you to rethink an agreement. A child or loved one could be difficult and testy. You could try distancing yourself. Before you know it, this person's behavior might change. Tonight: Let it all hang out.
HHH You can accomplish a lot if you focus and don't allow a problem person or issue to interfere with your thoughts. Keep a fairly disciplined schedule, and you'll manifest much more of what you want. Tonight: Know how much you're willing to spend before you go shopping.
HHHHH Reach out for someone you find intellectually and emotionally stimulating to discuss a problematic situation. Feelings run high and prove to be rewarding. Some of you will be entering a gratifying friendship, if not today, then in the near future. Tonight: Follow the music.

Dear Heloise: Regarding your recent article in the Ventura County (California) Star: Emojis are tricky from one phone brand to another. What you see on your phone does not necessarily go through like that. Once I sent a dog, and it came through as “dog poop.” Many emojis show up at the receiving end as a box with an X in it. I would caution folks to be careful using them within serious communications. — Nancy L., Simi Valley, Calif.
Dear Readers: Have you sought out a podcast (also called a netcast) lately? Often hosted by popular public figures and celebrities, podcasts are audio programs that can cover pretty much every topic, from comedy to health to religion and the arts, and they usually are free.

India’s tiger population rises to nearly 3,000 animals By Ashok Sharma Associated Press
NEW DELHI — India’s tiger population has grown to nearly 3,000, making the country one of the safest habitats for the endangered animals. Prime Minister Narendra Modi released the tiger count for 2018 on Monday said it’s a “historic achievement” for India as the big cat’s population had dwindled to
1,400 about 14-15 years ago. India estimates its tiger population every four years. Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said the tiger population was 2,226 in the last count, in 2014. The tiger is India’s national animal and it is categorized as endangered under the Wildlife Protection Act. The human conflict with tigers has gradually increased since the 1970s, when India started a tiger

India has emerged as of one of the biggest and safest habitats for them in the world,” Modi said and praised all the stakeholders involved in the country’s tiger conservation exercise. “Nine years ago, it was decided in St. Petersburg (Russia) that the target of doubling the tiger population would be 2022. We in India completed this target four years in advance,” he said. He also said that the number of protected areas in the country has risen to 860 last year from 692 in 2014. Similarly, the number of community reserves has gone up to 100 from 43 in 2014. Belinda Wright, founder of the Wildlife Protection Society of
India, based in New Delhi, said India should be very proud of its conservation achievement as the latest study was a much larger and more thorough estimation of the tiger population than done before. “But we still have a long way to go to secure a long-term future for wild tigers,” she cautioned, adding that human-tiger conflict was one of the biggest conservation challenges because India has so many people. The conflict between wildlife, confined to ever-shrinking forests and grasslands, and India’s human population is deadly. Government data show about one person is killed every day by tigers or elephants.

meet helen Darling little Helen is petite and sleek and so neat. She is black and adorable, maybe a year old. Helen is the sweetest little thing. She just loves to be loved. She was kept outside in a former home but she absolutely adores being inside with her family, and having all that comfort and safety. She does love to go outside and she is an excellent little huntress. She does fine with other cats and she does good too with dogs who do not run at her; a mellow dog would be best. She is happy just to be loved by her happy family and to be their darling little girl forever. In Sterling. Call 980-8898
