Kenai Peninsula suffering moderate drought By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

It’s been a dry summer. National Weather Service meteorologist, Eddie Zingone, said as of data from Aug. 8, the Kenai Peninsula is experiencing a moderate drought, also known as a level one drought. The U.S. Drought Monitor — produced in partnership with the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — measures droughts using five levels, level zero being no drought, but abnormally dry conditions and the fourth level being an exceptional drought. Right now, most of the Alaska’s rainfall is in western Alaska and in the interior, Zingone said. He said residents of the central peninsula shouldn’t expect major rainfall until maybe the middle of next week. “The rest of the week, through weekend doesn’t look like anything measurable,” Zingone said. Between June 1 and Aug. 12, Kenai has received 1.51 inches of rainfall — a nearly 40% decrease in the average rainfall for the area, which is 3.88 inches of rain. During the month of June, Kenai received 0.11 inches of rain. The average rainfall for the area in the month of June is 1.07 inches. In July, Kenai received 1.4 inches of rain, compared to an area average of 1.84 inches. “While still below average, July isn’t quite as dramatic as June,” Zingone said. Between Aug. 1 and Aug. 12, Zingone said there has been only trace amounts of rainfall, which means there was no measurable rainfall. In this period of time, there is an average of .97 inches of rainfall. The last measurable rainfall the area received was July 28, and the area has had 15 days with no rainfall.

‘Step-down’ compact with UA signed By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

Gov. Mike Dunleavy and University of Alaska Board of Regents Chair John Davies signed an agreement Tu e s d a y afternoon that would reduce the university’s budget a total of $70 million over three years instead the $136 million in one year as originally proposed. The agreement was a result of negotiations between the governor’s administration and the Board of Regents, which ended in both sides agreeing to a number of commitments. On the university side, the Regents agreed to a number of cost-cutting and streamlining measures

such as the reduction of administrative overheads and increased focused on remote-access, or online, education. Dunleavy’s office agreed to support “budgeted amounts agreed upon,” and the Alaska Performance Scholarship and Alaska Education Grant programs, according to the text of the agreement. “A $70 million reduction, even over three years is a serious reduction. It will require careful review and streamlining of administrative structure, academic programs, and services to ensure that resources are focused on student access and achievement,” University of Alaska President Jim Johnsen said. “But by

restoring the Legislature’s appropriated funding for this fiscal year, and by spreading reductions out over the next two years, the required restructuring ca n b e d o n e m o re methodically, with less impact on students.” The governor does not have power to appropriate funds for the university, only the Legislature can do that. However, the governor can veto items where he sees fit. According to the agreement, the governor will support the university’s proposed budget so long as the Board of Regents maintain a commitment to cost reductions and revenue increases. The agreement states that the Regents will report to the governor’s

Summer roadwork wrapping up By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

As the summer winds down and construction season with it, crews with the Alaska Department of Transportation are close to completing several road construction projects across the peninsula. The DOT, in partnership with QAP construction, is resurfacing all of Beaver Loop Road, from the Kenai Spur Highway to Bridge Access Road. Crews are also constructing new turn lanes as well as a separated pathway. Project work includes installing grading, drainage improvements, illumination, guardrail placement, signing and striping. From 6 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 19 to 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 23, Beaver Loop Road will be closed from Mile 1.4 to the intersection of Cone Avenue and Angler Drive. DOT Project Engineer

Jason Baxley said that the closure is primarily for safety reasons, as crews will be excavating between 8to 12-feet deep along the road while installing pipes and culverts. Baxley said that there will likely be at least two more closures during construction, but they won’t happen until after Labor Day. The project is ahead of schedule according to Baxley, but a second phase of construction will still be required next year. Through the rest of August, crews will be building the separated pedestrian pathway, replacing pipe and rebuilding a section of road between Beaver Loop and the Cone Avenue/ Angler Drive intersection. On the Kenai Spur Highway, crews from DOT and Wolverine Construction are building five lanes from Mile 5 to Mile 8 between Sports Lake Road and Swires Road. Crews are also

constructing a new pathway, improving drainage, extending slopes and installing new signage and striping. Currently, crews are working off the roadway from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and motorists should be aware of equipment and vehicles entering and exiting the roadway. There is also an alternate traffic pattern from Mile 6 to Mile 8. Construction is expected to last through the rest of the season, according to the Alaska Navigator website. Two major projects are taking place along the Sterling Highway, one that stretches from Sterling to Skilak Lake and another from southern Soldotna to Clam Gulch. From Sterling to Skilak Lake, crews are working between Mile 58 and Mile 63, Monday through Sunday, 8 p.m. to 9 a.m. Delays of up to 15 minutes should be expected for this area. Crews are also working on striping See roads, Page A3

Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced Tuesday that he would not veto funds for Head Start and pre-K programs from the Legislature currently under consideration by his office, a reversal from earlier this summer when cuts to those programs were included in the $444 million vetoed from the state budget. Dunleavy said that he intends to sign the bill sometime this week, and when he does, money for Head Start Grants, Early Childhood Grants, Parents as Teachers Grants and Best Beginning Grants will be included. At a press conference at an elementary school in Anchorage, Dunleavy said that he had vetoed the funds in the first place because the state was experiencing a financial crisis and that a conversation needed to be had about which programs Alaskans valued most. “We have a $1.6 billion dollar reduction,” the governor said. “We needed to have the conversation with Alaskans, what do they value? For years we’ve gone through this cycle of budgets and often times were saved by oil prices and production but I think most of us realize that now that that’s not going to be the case. So our approach was to try and reduce the budget but to try and get feedback from folks as to what programs they really value.” The governor said that his cuts were an attempt to close the $1.8 See veto, Page A3

Rose’s Pawn Shop to bring energy to concert series By Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

If the story behind the name of tonight’s showcase artist at the Levitt AMP Soldotna Music Series can sound a bit awkward, the music is sure to make up for it. Rose’s Pawn Shop, a quintet of musicians who hail from all corners of the country, will make their debut at Soldotna Creek Park with what band leader Paul Givant expects will be “highenergy” music. Givant said the story behind the band’s name can be traced back to the band’s early days, when they shuffled through several different guises. At one point, Givant was dating “Rose,” a female

vocalist who sung harmony with the group. “We started dating, which was probably a bad idea because it didn’t go well,” Givant said. “We had a disagreement one day and her response was to go down to the studio and pawn our gear. “It’s a crazy thing that happened, but it’s funny in retrospect.” That little act of revenge spurred Givant to answer back, giving rise to the name of the band, which has stuck around to the present day. And as far as what Rose thinks of the name change? Givant said there are no hard feelings. “I’ve seen her around sometimes, but it’s not like you go hanging out with your ex,” he said. Week 11 of the popular Wednesday night series opens at 6 p.m. with local musician Mike

Morgan, a regular on the Flats Bistro stage, and many Kenai and Soldotna music events, taking the stage first. Since its beginnings in the mid-2000s, Rose’s Pawn Shop has slowly risen to fame with a repertoire of Americana musical styles, most notably bluegrass, folk and rock. Givant grew up around the Los Angeles area, but said his bandmates hail from all areas of the country, including Maine, Florida, New York and Texas. Givant stars on guitar and vocals, and is joined by Stephen Andrews on upright bass, Vito Gutilla on fiddle, Kyle LaLone on guitar and Andy Robbins on drums. Members range in age from their late 20s to their late 40s, Givant said, giving a See music, Page A3

Association names Soldotna’s Febra Hensley Realtor of the Year By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Last Thursday, the Kenai Peninsula Association of Realtors held their annual membership meeting and celebrated longtime Soldotna resident Febra Hensley as the 2019 Realtor of the Year. Henley spoke to the Clarion on Friday and said that the award came as a complete surprise. Hensley was actually spending time with family in Iowa when she learned the news, and her daughter Torri accepted the award on her behalf. “My daughter kept telling me to make sure I was available to FaceTime, and I just couldn’t figure out why,” Hensley said. “It was very surprising … but I’m deeply thankful to be able to do what I love here in the community where I grew up.” Hensley’s family moved to Alaska when she was 8 years old, and she has been a realtor for nearly two decades. She credits fellow realtors Kelly Griebel and Dave Keating for getting her into the business. Hensley said that she and Griebel have been close friends since childhood, and Griebel, who was

Among the priorities stated in the agreement are, operating cost reductions, administrative overhead reductions, growth in monetization of university assets, research income increases and technology investments to lower costs and increase access. Davies said that while this agreement still constituted a significant reduction for the university, the supplemental operating budget provided, “much more certainty and confidence for our students, staff, faculty and the communities we serve.” On July 31, the Board of Regents voted to transition the university to a single accreditation model, which would create a slimmed down version of the current university system. Johnsen maintains that model is the best option for maintaining the university’s focus on student programs and providing the quality education the state needs.

already a realtor at the time, suggested the idea to her in 2002. “She told me: ‘Feb, you gotta get into real estate,’” Henley said. Seventeen years later and “Feb” hasn’t looked back. When asked what she enjoys most about the business, Henley said it was the fact that every day of work is different from the next and that being a realtor means being involved in what is often the biggest

purchase of people’s lives. “We are an industry of service. Some people are buying a home for the first time, and some need your help to get out from under financial stress,” Hensley said. “Whether they buy or sell through you, you’re a part of their journey.” Recently, Hensley has taken on a more active role in the political side of real estate, specifically through the Realtors Political Action Committee and the National Association of Realtors. Hensley and other members of NAR recently pressured lawmakers to ensure that the National Flood Insurance Program remained active during the federal government shutdown in January. Hensley said she is frequently in contact with Alaska’s legislators on the national level and was in Washington, D.C., as recently as last May “supporting bills that support homeowners.” “Without us being there … thousands of people’s voices wouldn’t be heard,” Hensley said of her political work. Hensley is a realtor with Jack White Real Estate and works with clients across the central peninsula, from Kasilof to Nikiski to Funny River.

“While I am supremely grateful that the University of Alaska will not face such drastic cuts today, these vetoes never should have happened in the first place.” State House Speaker Bryce Edgmon

“As an educator, a father, and a graduate of the University of Alaska, I believe in a strong university,” Dunleavy said. “I also believe we must balance state support for the UA system with the very serious fiscal situation we face today. This agreement, which comes after extensive conversations and work with the university, is an honest attempt at balancing both realities.” Several legislators responded to the announcement with mixed emotions. In a letter sent out by the House Majority, several lawmakers said that they were pleased to see the funds restored, but that they intend to ensure UA receives adequate funding. “The prospect of removing $135 million from the University of Alaska budget created an unnecessary crisis,”

Rep. Adam Wool, D-Fairbanks, said in the statement. “While I am relieved to see a level of certainty for the university system, the possibility of $70 million in additional cuts in the coming years is troubling and needs to be closely examined.” House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, said he was concerned by the governor seeming to act as an appropriator, something which only the Legislature is allowed to do. “While I am supremely grateful that the University of Alaska will not face such drastic cuts today,” Edgmon said, “these vetoes never should have happened in the first place. I remain concerned about the potential impacts of future reductions, and I firmly stand by the Legislature’s role as the appropriating body.”

Marion Emma Oskolkoff

Jean Mirella Bardelli Brockel, 85, of Soldotna, Alaska, passed away on July 26 at Providence Hospital in Anchorage. Jean was born on April 8, 1934, in Virginia, Minnesota, in the heart of the Mesabi Iron Range, the only child of Italian immigrants Lino and Erma (Barboni) Bardelli. She attended elementary and high school in Virginia, Minn., and in May 1956 received her B.Ed. in primary education and a year later her B.A. in music from the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minn. In the fall of 1956 Jean began her first teaching job at the Kenai Territorial School in Alaska. The next five years saw her travel from Alaska to Europe, back to Alaska to teach on military bases at Adak and Fairbanks, at the elementary school in McGrath, and then to Soldotna in 1962 where she has lived and worked as an educator, musician, homemaker and philanthropist ever since. Jean married Clayton E. Brockel on May 24, 1968, in Kenai, Alaska, about four years after Clayton had founded what is now Kenai Peninsula College (KPC). While teaching at Soldotna Elementary School, Jean received her Master of Education degree from the University of Alaska in May 1973. For twenty years Jean taught in the Kenai Peninsula Borough school district and, after retiring, turned her talents to teaching music and voice at KPC. At Kenai Peninsula College, Jean helped create the award-winning Sunday Showcase (now the KPC Showcase) in the spring of 1984 because, in Jean’s words, “Every college and university needs a program where students in performing arts have a chance to practice their craft. We want to give them that opportunity.” In May 2003, Jean was awarded the Woman of Distinction Award by Soroptimist International “in recognition of her professional and voluntary accomplishments in Education.” In May 2015, the University of Alaska Anchorage awarded Jean its Meritorious Service Award “for significant public, academic, volunteer and philanthropic service to the University of Alaska community.” In praise and recognition of Jean’s decades-long work in education and the arts, the award’s citation notes that when Jean began teaching music at Soldotna Elementary School in 1962, “she could be found rolling her piano up and down the hallway from room to room to teach music classes. She also worked with Kenai Performers, Pier One Theatre in Homer and the Peninsula’s Performing Arts Society. She sang in the community chorus, led rehearsals for large-scale musicals and concerts, acted as a vocal coach, produced recitals and directed productions of her own. She also played a starring role in The Ballad of Kenai, the nationally recognized, award-winning musical.” The citation concludes that Jean has been “one of the most recognizable faces of the arts on the Peninsula, passionately advocating for arts and education.” Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Lino and Erma Bardelli; son, John C. Brockel; and husband, Clayton Brockel. She is survived by innumerable friends, students, fans and admirers, and a thriving arts and music scene on the Kenai Peninsula which Jean has had no small hand in creating, nurturing and supporting throughout these past six decades. Of the thousands of lives and artists that Jean has touched in her life’s work, she will be missed by all and forgotten by none. A public celebration of Jean’s life will be announced soon in this publication and on line. Donations in Jean’s memory may be directed to The Performing Arts Society, P.O. Box 1181, Kenai, AK 99611 or to the charity of your choice.

Longtime Kenai resident, Mr. Ronald Rainey, 86, died Wednesday, August 7, 2019 at Central Peninsula Hospital. A celebration of life will be held 3:00 p.m. Saturday, August 17, 2019 at Calvary Baptist Church, 208 Lawton Drive. Pastor Phil Reemtsma will be officiating. Additional services will be held in Buckeye, AZ in Sept. Ron was born Feb. 13, 1933 in Buckeye, Arizona. He was a skilled athlete, earning all-state honors as a record setting halfback in football, and lettered 14 times in multiple sports before graduating in 1952. He was also a cowboy, scuba diver, and free diver and pilot, all at an early age. He graduated from Arizona State University in 1956 with a Bachelor of Science degree. He started his career in 1960, working for the Arizona Public Service Utility Company, from which he retired. While his sons, Les and Kevin were growing up, Ron coached them and others in Pop Warner football for 12 years from the 1970s into the 1980s, earning 8 state championships along the way. Coaching was Ron’s passion. In 1985, Ron, an avid hunter and fisherman, left Arizona and came to Alaska, a match made in heaven. He went to work for Homer Electric in Kenai, but by 1991, he fulfilled a dream he had long held and opened Ron’s Alaska Lodge, with his wife Elaine, on the Kenai River. There, he was truly in his element: introducing people from all over the world to the beauty and majesty that is Alaska. His approach was infectious. Sparkling blue eyes and big smile he moved through his guests in constant motion, as if his feet never touched the ground. He was a force of nature, a friendly vortex into which everyone fell. He’d share his stories of caribou hunting, fishing, and close calls with brown bears trying to join him in his float plane. He’d dress you if you weren’t prepared, get the right guide to insure a successful trip. Feed you great food for your body and for your soul. He made everyone feel at home, seemingly effortlessly. He brought that same energy to the Kenai River Sports Fishing Association, an organization dedicated to the preservation of the river and the fish that call it home. He earned many awards for his community work, too numerous to mention. Ron is gone now, but do not grieve. He lived a full, happy life and left us with these memories. In that sense, he’ll never be gone. He was preceded in death by his granddaughter, Natalia Rainey; son, Kevin Rainey; brothers, Wes and Mike Rainey. He is survived by his wife, Elaine Rainey of Kenai; son, Les Rainey of Phoenix, AZ; grandsons, Ronnie Rainey of Texas, Corey Rainey of Oregon, Jack Rainey of Phoenix, AZ and Austin Rainey of Flagstaff, AZ; great grandson, Atlas Rainey of Oregon; Elaine’s Son, Jarod Simmons of Arizona. Donations may be made to St. Jude’s Hospital in memory of Natalia Rainey or Ron’s Legacy of Love for the Kenai River can be continued be becoming a member of the Kenai River Sport Fishing Association.

Marion Oskolkoff, age 84 of Ninilchik, Alaska, passed away at home with family by her side. She was born in Easton, PA, to Marion A. & Esther R. Encelewski. At the age of 13 she came north to Alaska on a ferry with blacked out windows, evading the Uboats prowling the area during WWII. Hers was to be a fascinating life. Her first winter was spent in an army tent with the Bartolowits family of Clam Gulch. The next few years saw the family ensconced in a little cabin just north of Ninilchik River. She snowshoed & skied through snow & moose to get to the old 8 grade schoolhouse next to the Russian Orthodox Church. After her father started the ‘E Services’ gas station in Ninilchik, she learned the business. During this time, she met a handsome soldier returned from the war, Grassim Oskolkoff. It was love at first sight. They married on her birthday in 1952, did some drift net fishing & homestead near their fish sites north of Ninilchik next to the Blossom family. Marion gardened, canned, cooked, pickled, fished, hunted & enjoyed every facet of homestead life. Her special joy, besides her children, was her flowers. With 5 children born in quick succession & the stricter government regulations making the homestead way of life more difficult, Marion went on to get her GED & started the Johnson O’Malley Education program in Ninilchik as well as becoming a substitute teacher. She also learned to drive & loved it! She attended the Kenai Community College as time permitted & eventually went on to receive a BA in Business. Inspired, she took classes through the Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage receiving a Master’s Degree in Business Management & Accounting, graduating Summa Cum Laude. She continued to work throughout this time and with her daughter’ real estate firm until her death. She was a dynamo of activity, love & fun never forgetting a birthday or hug when needed. Her closest relationship, however, was with her Lord & Saviour & that only deepened as the years went by. Marion is survived by her daughters Debra Oskolkoff, Marla Kvasnikoff(Jack); her son Gary V. Oskolkoff (Susanne); & daughter-in-law Jamie Oskolkoff. Grandchildren Mandi Patrick(Andy), Argent Kvasnikoff; Emily & Andrea Oskolkoff; Grassim, Alexa, Evia & Alia Oskolkoff; & her great grandchildren Raven Eileen & Willow Emma Patrick; & Dezirae Oleson & Ryker Bruce Oskolkoff. Marion was preceded in death by her husband of 47 years, Grassim Oskolkoff; her daughter Becky Oskolkoff & son Bruce Oskolkoff; and by her parents & brother. Her ashes will be interred at the Ninilchik Community Cemetery on Sunday, August 18th, 1 PM with a brief reception following. Honorary Pallbearers are Gary Oskolkoff, Jack Kvasnikoff, Argent Kvasnikoff, Allen Hoffman, Andy Patrick, Shad Oleson, Mark Herman & Joe Cooper. Flowers &/or donations to Hospice are appreciated. A special Thank You to Angel’s of mercy Holly & Missy Gibbs and Tammy Van Sussern.

Eventually, Givant said he soaked up music such as the Grateful Dead (particularly their 1970 album “American Beauty”), Woody Guthrie, Bill Monroe and Gillian Welch. By finding a groove in that niche of country, folk and bluegrass, Givant said he began writing his own music. “For me, it was a good format for song writing,” he said. “Americana in general holds up the song,

billion deficit, “without taking the (Alaska Permanent Fund dividend) and without using taxes.” The intention behind vetoing so much from the budget, Dunleavy said, were not to inflict harm but to force Alaskans to identify the programs they felt needed to be preserved in an environment where drastic cuts needed to be made. “I’ve been in the Legislature,” the governor said in response to a question asking if he regretted making the vetoes in the first place. “You don’t get to this point unless you veto. You don’t have this conversation unless you veto, most people think it’s not going to happen, that we’re going to be saved by oil prices.” When the cuts were announced his administration began to receive feedback from all over Alaska, he said, feedback that wasn’t dismissed. “We’re not done but what

became pretty clear is that Alaskans value our elders, our seniors, and we value our children, our youngest, and that’s our future,” he said. The governor’s cuts prompted massive protests throughout the month of July and galvanized a recall campaign. Dunleavy said that for decades in Alaska it seemed as if every state program was important. “We wanted to lay out a menu of items that could’ve been reduced. We wanted to hear from the Legislature and we wanted to hear from Alaskans what is important,” he said. “We had to get Alaskans to really determine what really important to them. Kids are, seniors are, public safety is.” When asked if the governor was going to look at cutting these same programs next year, the governor said that he hoped that wouldn’t be the case but, “if oil drops to $30 a barrel we’re

all gonna have a different conversation,” he said. Dunleavy said that he regrets the angst the uncertainty with the budget has caused, which was one of the reasons his administration felt it was important to make the announcement that these early education programs were not going to be cut. However, the governor made it clear that the state financial situation dictated that more reductions were going to be made, but added that he looked forward to hearing from the Legislature and Alaskans as to what programs were most important. The funds included in HB 2001 total nearly $8.8 million for early childhood education, including $6.8 million for Head Start and $1.2 million for Early Education Grants, according to the bill’s text. In a press release Tuesday afternoon, Rep. Chris

Tuck, D-Anchorage, said, “the fiscal challenges facing our state are man-made, but they are not children made. I want to thank the Governor for recognizing that fact.” Head Start is the largest early education provider in the state, Tuck’s press release said. The restoration of these funds ensures spots for 540 students as well as 150 jobs statewide. “The research shows that spending money on a child’s early education is a great investment in the future. By committing to signing HB 2001 with the early education money included Governor Dunleavy is recognizing the importance of that longterm investment.” Amber Frommherz, the Head Start Director for Tlingit and Haida in Juneau, previously told the Empire that if Dunleavy were to go through with the cuts, at least three local Head Start locations in Juneau would have to close.

Signs of progress in fight against human trafficking

n the sordid and brutal world of human trafficking, two recent stories deserve a closer look and a deeper understanding. Both stories involve justice — one for a person just emerging from a long run behind bars and the other for a person who always seems just outside of the grasp of the law. The first of these two stories comes to us from Tennessee, where Cyntoia Brown has recently been released from prison. Her case is more complicated than many human trafficking clemency stories but nonetheless instructive. At 16, she was in a desperate situation. She was being trafficked, sold for sex to men unconcerned about the damage they did to her. But she also had a gun, which she used to shoot one of those men in the back of the head. She committed murder and, even as a juvenile, was therefore sentenced to life in prison. It’s likely that is where she would still be today except for a dramatic change that is underway in our society. The definition of trafficking is to be under someone else’s control. In many cases that means a trafficker uses coercion — be it drug dependency, emotional manipulation, the threat of physical violence or actual physical violence — to force a person into a world of shame, degradation and abuse. The human psyche being the complex creation that it is, often the trafficking victims will insist, even to themselves, that they are making rational choices about their lives. The result is that the trafficker makes a killing, but the trafficking victim dies inside. Recognizing the complex nature of this dynamic, in January outgoing Gov. Bill Haslam offered Brown clemency and she was released at 3:30 a.m. Aug. 7 — just a few days ago. The governor didn’t let her entirely off the hook. Her record was not wiped clean. She’ll have to serve another 10 years on parole, so even a relatively small infraction can send her back to jail. She will also have to attend counseling sessions, keep a job or enroll in school, and perform at least 50 hours of community service. She will work with at-risk youth. But after 16 hard years growing up and another 15 years of hard time, she will now have more freedom than she has ever had to build a positive life. Juxtapose this story against that of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier, who committed suicide in jail over the weekend while awaiting trial on charges stemming from allegations that he trafficked young girls. What becomes clear is that there is a real change underway. A decade ago, Epstein cut a deal with prosecutors to do a short stint in jail but otherwise go back to his life. We wish Epstein had lived to be tried again, so that true justice could be done. But it’s important to remember, even now, that he was rearrested because his alleged victims were empowered and speaking out. And the investigation into his death, as well as those who enabled him, must now be the focus. In a world where we pay more attention to the victims of human trafficking than we once did, one girl has been released from prison while an alleged perpetrator was brought into custody for crimes he once was able to largely skate away from. We hope investigators do not allow any of his accomplices off the hook now. But in any case, this is what progress looks like in the messy world of human trafficking. Brown has been held to account for her sins, but justice also recognizes that she too was a victim. At the same time, justice is more broadly working to catch up to the real masterminds of these crimes. — The Dallas Morning News, Aug. 12

letter to the editor

Help cool our shelter I am writing on behalf of all the dogs and cats that are at the Kenai Animal Shelter as well as the employees. We are having the hottest summer on record and sadly it is very uncomfortably hot at the shelter. I went there in early July when I could not find my Kookie kitty. While only there for a few minutes it was really unbearable for me. I decided to write and ask if Walmart, H.D. and F.M. might donate a fan a piece to make it more comfortable for these furry friends. Thank you. — Celia Cash Kenai

Medicaid waiver provides key tool to redesign state’s behavioral health system

fter several years of development and negotiation, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services is rolling out a comprehensive solution to address the problems of mental health and addiction and substance misuse problems in Alaska. The vision of providing Alaskans with a comprehensive suite of cost-effective, highquality behavioral health services will be realized through the Behavioral Health 1115 Waiver Demonstration Project. The 1115 Waiver will ensure access to the right services, at the right time, in the right setting. Section 1115 Medicaid Demonstration Project waivers allow states to waive standard Medicaid methods to instead use innovative and customized strategies to better meet the needs of their particular state. Why does Alaska need an 1115 Waiver? One way to picture this redesign is by imagining a home which was built many generations ago. As the family grows and changes, additions are built and old rooms repurposed as new needs arise — some unexpected and difficult to accommodate. Over time, the layout becomes awkward and cumbersome. Eventually, it makes more sense to use resources to thoughtfully design a new building rather than continually

play “catch-up” with expensive renovations. Similarly, Alaska’s current system for addressing the substance abuse and psychiatric care crisis has not been able to fully meet the challenges presented. There are currently not enough community psychiatric beds and residential substance use disorder treatment programs in Alaska. This puts a heavy burden on hospitals in urban areas and limits the options available to Alaskans who are seeking much-needed behavioral health services in their communities. Opportunities to provide supports earlier in the lives of at-risk children and adults are often missed due to a lack of robust local or regional behavioral health services. Many Alaskans are not able to get the appropriate level of behavioral health treatment until their need reaches the crisis stage. Additionally, this waiver is designed to provide support services to help people live stable lives and meet basic needs such as supported housing and employment to assist them in accessing and staying in housing. The 1115 Waiver will establish a network of services at the community and regional level to reduce the need for high-cost, crisis-driven and urban-based emergency, acute, and residential care. By having an 1115

waiver in place, Alaska can offer more and different choices that will generate not only greater cost savings, but also provide more options that will aid Alaskans battling addiction. It will also decrease the burden on psychiatric hospitals and emergency departments in the state, including the Alaska Psychiatric Institute. These changes will go a long way towards rebalancing Alaska’s behavioral health system and providing a full continuum of care for individuals with substance use disorders and mental illnesses, including those experiencing homelessness. This will be accomplished through greater access to community-based treatment options and local resources that help support recovery, health and wellness. Alaska will finally have a system custom-tailored to its unique strengths and challenges. And the 1115 Waiver is a key part of the longterm solution for changing the health care system in Alaska and providing safe communities to our fellow Alaskans. Adam Crum, M.S.P.H., is commissioner of the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. Albert Wall is deputy commissioner of Family, Community & Integrated Services at the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services.

Alaska’s summer 2019 fire season was one for the record books

fter enjoying three years of relatively quiet summer wildfire seasons, Alaska was overdue for a big one. As most by now are keenly aware, 2019 more than filled the bill. In a typical fire season, Alaska has about 500 fires that burn about 650,000 acres. But as of Aug. 7, a total of 614 fires had burned approximately 2.4 million acres across Alaska — and the fire season isn’t over yet. While much of Interior and Southwest Alaska have received substantial rain recently, relatively rainless Southcentral Alaska remains dry with high fire danger. Even with the rain, 232 fires are still actively burning, and some won’t stop until the snow flies. The season kicked off to a fast start on April 30, when a warm, early spring helped ignite the Oregon Lakes fire, southeast of Delta Junction. As the summer progressed, many areas experienced high, even record-high, temperatures. Several days of heavy lighting strikes in late June brought several double-digit increases in the total daily fire count. Facing many fires posing significant threats to Alaska lives, property and infrastructure, the Division of Forestry quickly put all Alaska’s fire crews to work. We then brought in thousands of firefighters from the Lower 48 and Canada, as well as multiple incident management teams to help suppress and manage the larger project fires. Much like fire departments have “mutual aid” agreements, wildland firefighters in other jurisdictions will respond when called, sharing the workload and the risks. To date, 110 crews from the Lower 48, and personnel from 46 states,

In a typical fire season, Alaska has about 500 fires that burn about 650,000 acres. But as of August 7, a total of 614 fires had burned approximately 2.4 million acres across Alaska — and the fire season isn’t over yet. Puerto Rico and several Canadian provinces fought wildfires in Alaska this summer. They brought multiple air tankers, water-scooping aircraft and helicopters, which bolstered our initial attack capabilities and provided vital logistical support. For all this assistance, the State extends an Alaska-sized “Thank-you” to all who came north to help. We also thank our State of Alaska interagency partners, the Bureau of Land Management’s Alaska Fire Service, and the U.S. Forest Service, as well as several Canadian provinces and our local fire departments and Alaska National Guard units, for their help this season. While we lost a handful of structures to fire this season, firefighters did a commendable job protecting thousands of others in settled communities and in the wildlandurban interface from the Chalkyitsik Complex, Grouse Creek, Kobe, Malaspina, Montana Creek, Shovel Creek and Swan fires, and others. Firefighters also worked to protect rural villages, Native allotments, fish camps, gold mines, and various other infrastructure threatened by wildfires. Finally, praise is due to the citizens of Alaska who faced the smoke, travel delays, interruptions of business or recreational activities, and sometimes even evacuation from

their homes. As fire managers and firefighters, we strive to minimize such negative effects, and clearly communicate with the public about wildfires and what we’re doing about them. Crews protecting communities from wildfire sincerely welcomed the support, encouragement and thanks they received from local residents and businesses. Another way to show support is to be ready for next time by practicing the “Firewise” principles at your home, businesses and property — for details, visit http://forestry.alaska. gov/. Going one step further, the Community Wildfire Protection Plans and landscape-level fuel-reduction projects in high-risk areas can play a key role in limiting the danger and impact of future wildland fires. Two of our most serious fires this season relied on large-scale fuel breaks, or fire lines, that gave firefighters a good defensive position to work from, and to keep fires from spreading into residential areas. Finally, I hope you’ll join me in wishing Smoky Bear a happy seventyfifth birthday, and taking to heart his timeless admonition: “Only YOU can prevent wildfires”! John “Chris” Maisch has served as Alaska state forester and Director of the Alaska Division of Forestry since 2005.

‘We expect some semblance of truth’ President Donald Trump amplifies conspiracy theories from the perch of presidency. By Jonathan Lemire and Jill Colvin Associated Press

MORRISTOWN, N.J. — With a pair of weekend retweets, President Donald Trump amplified an unfounded conspiracy theory. It was hardly the first time. His political career began the same way. Trump has a long history of spreading falsehoods drawn from the conservative fringe. His unlikely rise to the White House was fueled in part by spreading the lie that President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S., and he has trafficked in numerous others to malign his opponents and advance his own views. Now he has used the power of the presidency to promote a baseless claim about the death of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, breaking another norm of the office and further sowing public confusion over the apparent suicide of one of the most high-profile inmates in the federal system. Epstein, who faced up to 45 years in prison on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, was found dead in his cell in a Manhattan jail early Saturday. Epstein had ties to prominent people around the globe, including Trump, who partied with him in the 2000s, and former President Bill Clinton. Within hours of Epstein’s apparent suicide, Trump retweeted an accusation that tied both Bill and Hillary Clinton to the death, one of many conspiracies

circulating on social media. Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Trump defended the retweet on Tuesday, calling the original poster “a very respected conservative.” He said he had “no idea” whether the Clintons were involved in the death, but continued to fan the theory, saying that the former president spent far more time on Epstein’s private plane, and perhaps his private island, than known. The Clintons have denied any wrongdoing. In a statement last month, Clinton spokesman Angel Ureña said the former president took four trips —one to Asia, one to Europe and two to Africa — on Epstein’s airplane in 2002 and 2003. Staff and Secret Service detail traveled with Clinton on “every leg of every trip,” Urena said. Ureña also said Clinton had never traveled to Epstein’s private island. Trump has made a similar accusation before: that the Clintons had a hand in a high-profile suicide. He previously tweeted about the 1993 death of White House aide Vince Foster, calling it “very fishy.” But there is no evidence of foul play.

As he was privately considering his own run for the White House, Trump began to try to stoke doubts about Obama’s legitimacy as president. He began to get notice among hard-line conservatives in 2011 when he claimed that Obama, the nation’s first African American president, was not born in the United States. Even after Obama produced his long-form birth certificate that proved he was born in Hawaii, Trump repeatedly voiced the belief, only fully backing off in the final stages of the 2016 campaign. While birtherism was Trump’s most infamous conspiracy theory, it was far from his only one. He has promoted dozens of outlandish claims, many of which are so blatantly untrue that they have not required even a cursory fact check to disprove. Among his claims: ■■ That Sen. Ted Cruz’s father may have had a hand in President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. ■■ That Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia may have been murdered. ■■ That thousands of Muslims celebrated in U.S. cities after the Sept. 11, 2001,

terror attacks. ■■ That 3 million to 5 million votes were cast illegally in the 2016 election, none of them for Trump. ■■ That vaccines may cause autism. ■■ That global warming is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese. ■■ That wind farms may cause cancer. With the weight of the Oval Office behind these claims — some containing deliberate misinformation, others ignorance — the theories carry a degree of peril, according to presidential historian Julian Zelizer. “We exp e ct s ome semblance of truth from the Oval Office and sending out conspiracy theories like this is a whole new level of danger,” Zelizer, a history professor at Princeton University. “People believe some of this, people can act on some of this. People can act violently, even, and part of that comes from a president dealing in untruths and conspiracies.” For his part, Trump sometimes says that a mere retweet absolves him of any responsibility. Repeatedly, he claimed he was just passing on information to his Twitter followers — now more than 63 million — while not recognizing the significance carried by words, distributed in any fashion, by the president of the United States or leader of the Republican Party. During the 2016 campaign, in just one example, Trump retweeted false crime statistics that dramatically overstated the number of white people killed by black people. “Bill, am I gonna check every statistic?” he told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly then. “All it was is a retweet. It wasn’t from me.”

2 guards suspended, warden reassigned after death Associated Press

NEW YORK — Two guards assigned to watch Jeffrey Epstein the night he apparently killed himself in jail have been placed on leave and the warden has been removed as federal authorities investigate the financier’s death, the Justice Department said Tuesday. The announcement came amid mounting evidence that the chronically understaffed Metropolitan Correctional Center may have bungled its responsibility to keep the 66-year-old Epstein from harming himself while he awaited trial on charges of sexually abusing teenage girls. Epstein was taken off a

suicide watch last month for reasons that have not been explained, and was supposed to have been checked on by a guard every 30 minutes. But investigators learned those checks weren’t done for several hours before he was found Saturday morning, according to a person familiar with the case. That person was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. A second person familiar with operations at the jail said Epstein was discovered in his cell with a bedsheet around his neck. That person likewise spoke on condition of anonymity for the same reason.

Coalition of 21 Democratic states sue over new coal rules SACRAMENTO, Calif..— A coalition of 21 Democraticled states sued the Trump administration Tuesday over its decision to ease restrictions on coal-fired power plants, with California’s governor saying the president is trying to rescue an outdated industry. In June, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency eliminated the agency’s Clean Power Plan and replaced it with a new rule that gives states more leeway in deciding upgrades for coal-fired power plants. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, says the new rule violates the federal Clean Air Act because it does not meaningfully replace power plants’ greenhouse gas emissions.

Fire chief: Smoke detectors lacking at care center where 5 children died ERIE, Pa. — A Pennsylvania home child care center where a fire killed five kids did not have enough working smoke detectors, the fire chief said Tuesday. There was one detector in the attic of the Harris Family Daycare in the lakeside city of Erie, Fire Chief Guy Santone told a news conference Tuesday. It was not clear whether there were any others in the home. State officials who inspect home child care centers do not check for smoke detectors, the state Department of Human Services confirmed. It’s out of their purview, spokeswoman Ali Fogarty said. But city and state authorities are working on legislation that would change that.

New Mexico man accused of animal abuse; vet says cat on methamphetamines LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Police in Las Cruces say charges against a man accused of battering his girlfriend and mistreating two pets have been upgraded after his cat tested positive for methamphetamines. They say 39-yearold Aaron Spaulding was arrested in June on suspicion of false imprisonment, battery against a household member, interference with communication and two counts of animal cruelty. The animals involved are a dog and a cat. Police say Spaulding allegedly neglected the pets and abused the cat by squeezing it until it cried out and strangling it. A veterinarian told police the car showed signs of neurological deficits and its blood tested positive for meth. Police say one of the animal cruelty charges now has been upgraded from a misdemeanor to a felony.

Today is Wednesday, Aug. 14, the 226th day of 2019. There are 139 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 14, 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced that Imperial Japan had surrendered unconditionally, ending World War II. On this date: In 1900, international forces, including U.S. Marines, entered Beijing to put down the Boxer Rebellion, which was aimed at purging China of foreign influence. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill issued the Atlantic Charter, a statement of principles that renounced aggression. In 1948, the Summer Olympics in London ended; they were the first Olympic games held since 1936. In 1969, British troops went to Northern Ireland to intervene in sectarian violence between Protestants and Roman Catholics. In 1973, U.S. bombing of Cambodia came to a halt. In 1980, actress-model Dorothy Stratten, 20, was shot to death by her estranged husband and manager, Paul Snider, who then killed himself. In 1992, the White House announced that the Pentagon would begin emergency airlifts of food to Somalia to alleviate mass deaths by starvation. In 1997, an unrepentant Timothy McVeigh was formally sentenced to death for the Oklahoma City bombing. In 2003, a huge blackout hit the northeastern United States and part of Canada; 50 million people lost power. In 2008, President George W. Bush signed consumer-safety legislation that banned lead from children’s toys, imposing the toughest standard in the world. In 2017, under pressure from right and left, President Donald Trump condemned white supremacist groups by name, declaring them to be “repugnant to everything that we hold dear as Americans.” The CEO of Merck, the nation’s third-largest pharmaceutical company, resigned from a federal advisory council, citing Trump’s failure to explicitly condemn white nationalists who marched in Charlottesville, Virginia. (Kenneth Frazier was one of the few African Americans to head a Fortune 500 company. The CEOs of Intel and Under Armour also resigned from the American Manufacturing Council later in the day.) Ten years ago: Kicking off a four-state push for his health care overhaul plan, President Barack Obama denounced what he suggested was news media overemphasis on scenes of angry protesters at town-hall meetings, telling his own gathering in Belgrade, Montana, that “TV loves a ruckus.” Charles Manson follower Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, 60, convicted of trying to assassinate President Gerald Ford in 1975, was released from a Texas prison hospital after more than three decades behind bars. Five years ago: Nouri al-Malaki, Iraq’s prime minister for eight years, relinquished the post to his nominated successor, ending a political deadlock. Pope Francis called for renewed efforts to forge peace on the war-divided Korean Peninsula as he opened a five-day visit to South Korea. Rob Manfred was elected baseball’s 10th commissioner, winning a three-man race to succeed Bud Selig. San Francisco said goodbye to Candlestick Park -- the stadium where the city’s beloved Giants and 49ers celebrated some of their greatest triumphs -- with an evening concert by former Beatle Paul McCartney. One year ago: A highway bridge collapsed in the Italian city of Genoa during a storm, sending vehicles plunging nearly 150 feet and leaving 43 people dead. Vermont Democrats chose the nation’s first transgender gubernatorial nominee, Christine Hallquist. (Hallquist would get 40% of the vote in November against Republican Phil Scott, who won with 55%.) A state grand jury report concluded that some 300 Roman Catholic priests in Pennsylvania had molested more than 1,000 children since the 1940s and that church officials had covered up complaints. Puerto Rico officials announced that power was restored to the entire island for the first time since Hurricane Maria nearly 11 months earlier. Los Angeles transit officials said the city’s subway system would become the first in the country to install body scanners to screen passengers for weapons and explosives.

around the world Crews battle wildfires in nature reserve ATHENS, Greece — More than a thousand firefighters battled wildfires Tuesday in Greece, with the largest burning out of control through a nature reserve on the island of Evia north of Athens causing four villages and a monastery to be evacuated. The country’s civil protection authority declared a state of emergency in the area of Evia affected by the fire, where about 280 firefighters, volunteers, soldiers, six water-dropping planes and six helicopters were deployed, along with one more helicopter coordinating the air support.

UN urges reluctant EU nations to help stranded migrants BRUSSELS — The United Nations refugee agency urgently appealed to European governments Tuesday to let two migrant rescue ships disembark more than 500 passengers who remain stranded at sea as countries bicker over who should take responsibility for them. The people rescued while attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa are on ships chartered by humanitarian aid groups that the Italian government has banned from its territory. The archipelago nation of Malta also has refused to let the ships into that country’s ports. It’s unclear where they might find safe harbor, even though the Italian island of Lampedusa appears closest. About 150 of the rescued passengers have been on the Spanish-flagged charity ship the Open Arms since they were plucked from the Mediterranean 13 days ago. “This is a race against time,” Vincent Cochetel, the International Red Cross special envoy for the central Mediterranean, said in a statement. “Storms are coming, and conditions are only going to get worse.” While the number of migrants reaching Europe by sea has dropped substantially so far this year, the Red Cross says nearly 600 people have died or gone missing in waters between Libya, Italy and Malta in 2019.

Russian military orders village evacuation, then cancels it MOSCOW — The Russian military on Tuesday told residents of a village near a navy testing range to evacuate, but cancelled the order hours later, adding to the uncertainty and confusion fueled by a missile explosion last week that led to a brief spike in radiation that frightened residents and raised new questions about the military’s weapons program. Initially the military told residents of Nyonoksa, a village of about 500, to move out temporarily, citing unspecified activities at the range. But a few hours later, it said the planned activities were cancelled and rescinded the request to leave, said Ksenia Yudina, a spokeswoman for the Severodvinsk regional administration. Local media in Severodvinsk said Nyonoksa residents regularly receive similar temporary evacuation orders usually timed to tests at the range. The Defense Ministry initially said Thursday’s explosion of a rocket engine at the navy range killed two people and injured six others, but the state-controlled Rosatom nuclear corporation said two days later that the blast also killed five of its nuclear engineers and injured three others. It’s still not clear what the final toll is. And just as the Severodvinsk administration reported a brief spike in radiation levels, the Defense Ministry insisted that no radiation had been released — a blunt denial reminiscent of Soviet-era attempts to cover up disasters that added to public nervousness.

Embattled Italian leader to address Senate amid crisis ROME — Italy’s political leaders scrambled to line up allies and form alliances Tuesday as the country’s rightwing interior minister pressed his demands for an early election in hopes of snagging the premiership as a platform for his anti-migrant, euroskeptic agenda. Senators were hastily summoned back from vacation for a political crisis sparked by a no-confidence motion lodged by Interior Minister Matteo Salvini’s League party against Premier Giuseppe Conte’s 14-month-old populist government. They voted to have Conte address the Senate on Aug.20. It was unclear if a vote on the non-confidence motion brought last week by the government’s junior partner might immediately follow. Salvini’s allies had pressed for the vote to take place as soon as this week. With the League’s popularity soaring since he became interior minister last year, Salvini wants to carry the momentum to an early national election in October, more than 3½ years ahead of schedule. Conte must offer his resignation to Italy’s president if the no-confidence motion passes. — Associated Press

Mob violence marks 2nd day of protests at Hong Kong airport By Yanan Wang and Katie Tam

Calm for now

Associated Press

HONG KONG — Frenzied mob violence Tuesday against two men protesters suspected of being spies from mainland China marked the second day of pro-democracy demonstrations that have caused mass cancellations and disruptions in Hong Kong’s busy airport. Calm eventually returned, with most of the protesters leaving the airport hours after officers armed with pepper spray and swinging batons tried to enter the terminal, fighting with demonstrators who barricaded entrances with luggage carts. Riot police clashed briefly with the demonstrators, who said they planned to return to the airport early Wednesday. More than 100 flights were canceled Tuesday, the fifth consecutive day that protesters occupied the airport. Airlines were still working through a backlog of more than 200 flights from Monday when the airport announced in the afternoon that check-in processes would once again be suspended. “Democracy is a good thing,” said signs that appeared to be aimed at mainland Chinese and foreign travelers. Many signs also contained apologies for the disruption to travelers: “We stand here to obstruct, only for one single reason. We love and care for Hong Kong. We hope you will understand. Sorry.” The burst of violence included protesters beating up at least two men they suspected of being undercover agents and came the same day Hong Kong’s proBeijing leader warned that the demonstrators had pushed events onto a “path of no return,” highlighting the hardening positions on both sides. Police have acknowledged using “decoy” officers, and the violence followed weekend sightings of men dressed like demonstrators — in black

Check-in counters have reopened Wednesday at Hong Kong’s airport after being shut during protests the previous day. About three dozen protesters remained camped out in the arrivals area Wednesday morning. Flights appeared to be operating normally.

and wearing face masks — appearing to arrest protesters. In both instances, angry demonstrators pushed past people trying to hold them back and attacked the men, binding their wrists together and beating them to the ground. The two were eventually taken away by paramedics. In one case, protesters detained a man they claimed to be an undercover police officer from mainland China, pulled his identity documents from his wallet and encouraged journalists to photograph them. None of them showed that he was a police officer, though protesters claimed to have found his name on an online list of police officers in southern Guangdong province. The Associated Press could not independently verify the man’s identity. Sally Tong, an 18-year-old

protester, said they needed to hold him as evidence that mainland Chinese authorities are in Hong Kong to monitor the demonstrations. Tong said the man was dressed in black and wore a mask to look like one of them. “We want to keep him here and investigate,” Tong said. Hours later, the protesters apprehended another man from mainland China. But they could not agree on who they believed he was: Some said he was a gangster, others said he was a fake reporter, and still others said he was masquerading as a protester. As with the first man, some protesters tied his wrists together and poured water over his head, inciting laughter from some in the crowd. Airport security appeared unable to control the crowd. Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Global Times, a nationalistic Chinese tabloid, said the

man was one of his reporters. “Fu Guohao, reporter of GT website is being seized by demonstrators at HK airport,” Hu wrote on his widelyfollowed Twitter account. “I affirm this man being tied in this video is the reporter himself. He has no other task except for reporting.” One protester used a U.S. flag to beat Fu as he lay on the floor in a fetal position. Other protesters and first aid workers attempted to stop some who tried to trample the man, while pro-democracy lawmaker Kwok Ka-ki crouched beside him and tried to calm the attackers. After a heated argument, protesters eventually allowed ambulance workers to take the man away on a stretcher. Hong Kong police said they arrested five people for unlawful assembly, assaulting police officers and possessing weapons. Officials said in a statement that some protesters detained, harassed and assaulted a traveler and a journalist, and obstructed ambulance workers from taking the two men to the hospital. They said other protesters attacked a police officer and snatched a baton from him. The airport disruptions escalated a summer of demonstrations aimed at what many Hong Kong residents see as an increasing erosion of the freedoms they were promised in 1997 when Communist Partyruled mainland China took over what had been a British colony.

Pakistan presses for urgent UN meeting on India action in Kashmir By Edith M. Lederer Associated Press

the Muslim-majority region. Pa k i s t a n i Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi denounced “recent aggressive actions” by India’s Hindu nationalistled government, saying they “willfully undermine the internationally recognized disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir.” Quereshi accused India in a letter to the council obtained by The Associated Press of implementing a “racist ideology” aimed at turning its part of Kashmir from a Muslim-majority into a Hindu-majority territory. “The Indian actions on Aug. 5, 2019 have opened the way for realization of this fascist policy objective,” he wrote. Quereshi warned that any such attempt “will evoke strong Kashmiri resistance” and “the anticipated massive repression by India’s occupation forces will lead to ethnic cleansing and genocide.” He said the Security Council has “the obligation to prevent the recurrence of another Srebrenica and Rwanda,” referring to the genocides in Srebrenica, Bosnia, in 1995 and in Rwanda in 1994. Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz, whose country holds the council’s rotating presidency this month, said members would discuss the letter. “Poland believes that this can only be resolved by peaceful means and ... we are in favor of dialogue between

Pakistan and India to sort out the differences,” he said. “Strained relations between India and Pakistan negatively affect the whole South Asia region and may lead to serious political, security and economic consequences.” India and Pakistan, which both now have nuclear weapons, claim all of Kashmir and have fought several wars over the divided region. With the end of British colonial rule in 1947, the Indian subcontinent was divided into predominantly Hindu India and mainly Muslim Pakistan. The countries fought their first war over control of Kashmir, which had been a Muslim-majority kingdom ruled by a Hindu maharaja. The war ended in 1948 with a U.N.-brokered cease-fire that left Kashmir divided, with the promise of a U.N.-sponsored referendum on its “final disposition” that has never been held. India accuses Pakistan of arming and training insurgents fighting for Kashmir’s independence from India or its merger with Pakistan. Pakistan denies the charge and says it offers only diplomatic and moral support to the rebels. On Aug. 5, India’s government announced it was revoking Kashmir’s special constitutional status and downgrading its statehood to a territory, which limits its autonomy and decision-making power and eliminates its right to its

own constitution. India has imposed a near-constant curfew and a communications blackout as it tries to stave off a violent reaction to the move. The unprecedented security lockdown kept people indoors Tuesday for a ninth day. Qureshi said in the letter to the Security Council that India’s repression in Kashmir has intensified in recent months, “including through the use of draconian laws.” He said that since Aug. 5, “the entire territory has been transformed into a massive military prison.” The Pakistani foreign minister warned that there is a “danger that India will provoke another conflict with Pakistan to divert attention from its recent actions” in Kashmir. He pointed to what he called “fake news in India’s controlled media mentioning ‘terrorists’ ready to enter occupied Kashmir across the Line of Control,” the highly militarized frontier. This indicates “that India’s reckless government intends to provoke another crisis with Pakistan, possibly through a ‘false flag’ operation,” Qureshi said. He said Pakistan did not want a conflict with India. “But India should not mistake our restraint for weakness. If India chooses to resort again to the use of force, Pakistan will be obliged to respond, in self-defense, with all its capabilities.”

¼ teaspoon black pepper 4 to 5 ounces baby arugula 2 ripe peaches or nectarines, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 10 ounces) ½ cup julienned fresh basil leaves 2 ounces creamy goat cheese, crumbled (about ½ cup), plus more to taste Preparation 1. In a small sauté pan, toast the pine nuts over medium heat, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Watch them carefully as they can burn quickly. Remove from the heat. 2. In a small liquid measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper. 3. Place the arugula in a large salad bowl. Pour just enough dressing over the greens to moisten, and toss to coat. Massaging the arugula, a bit removes some of the peppery bite if you like a milder flavor. Add the peaches, basil, goat cheese and toasted pine nuts and toss to coat. Add more goat cheese and dressing if desired. Toss gently and serve immediately. A shower of finishing salt and a few grinds of fresh black

pepper just prior to serving adds much. I was with friend when she was gifted a giant home-grown zucchini. I wondered what my clever chef friend would make with it. The grower suggested stuffed zucchini. I would make cake.

2 large eggs ½ cup vegetable oil ⅓ cup orange juice 2 teaspoons orange zest 2 teaspoons peeled, grated ginger root 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cups grated zucchini ½ cup chopped hazelnuts Preparation 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, orange juice, zest, ginger and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour and stir until just combined. Fold in the zucchini and hazelnuts. 2. Butter and flour a tube or Bundt pan. Scrape the batter into the pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack. For optimum flavor, slice and serve the following day. Enjoy the summer bounty of fresh ingredients and I hope it rains again soon.

never would have guessed I would want it to rain as badly as I did while living in a coastal community in Alaska, ever. It finally rained and we were all so thrilled I wanted to throw a big party for the whole community. The desperately needed rain was all we could all talk about for a week. I couldn’t imagine being told to ration water, but the thought was there. Thinking about our warm and dry summer made me recall when growing up, I wanted to be a TV meteorologist. I love watching the weather happen, was in awe of the local meteorologist and extremely interested in the whole process. My viewers would always want to tune-in and listen to my forecasts and every day would be different. No ho-hum career for me. I also thought being on television was a glamorous and profitable profession that was extremely appealing to a young girl. I based these facts on that I loved acting in high school plays, loved to dress up and I have a gift for gab. Never mind it required having the funds to attend college, being a whiz in math and chemistry and having the genes to be youthful looking into my old age. Not sure why that career never actually came to happen (insert laughter here), but I still enjoy watching the weather and have found other fun and profitable ways to put my talents and interests to work for me. At times I need to step back and quit trying to make something more sensational than it already is, which is just being fresh and

in-season and full of flavor. When people ask me what to do with fresh Alaska seafood, I tell them simple preparations are the best. Let the seafood steal the show just as it is, beautiful, succulent, fresh and very special. Maybe a spoonful of a complimentary sauce. Same thing for just picked produce and fruit with a drizzle of a basic dressing. When something is this good and fresh, you don’t need a recipe to prepare it, just a little know-how and imagination. Give me a bunch of great ingredients and watch the magic show that takes place, with no magic involved except that which Mother Nature conjured up, like the weather. This simple, colorful summer salad is a reminder that seasonal ingredients at their very best don’t need much embellishment. Peppery arugula and earthy goat cheese get brightened with juicy, sweet summer peaches, or nectarines. If you can’t find ripe peaches, you can use cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries or even cherry tomatoes in their place. Making interesting salads out of different sorts of produce and fruits are a favorite of mine to serve. There are many flavors, textures and colors in this salad.

Zucchini Cake with Orange, Ginger and Hazelnuts Adapted from the New York Times, Molly O’Neill This exceptional cake is a sophisticated version of the tried and true, treasured zucchini bread. It’s more delicate and tender than the classic loaf, fresh ginger and orange zest add brightness, and hazelnuts add a depth of flavor and crunch. It’s also delightfully simple to make. Don’t try to fit it into a smaller sized baking pan, as it won’t bake correctly. Am I ever glad I kept that old Bundt pan of my mom’s. Ingredients 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking soda ¾ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 1 ¼ cups sugar

Make the best grilled cheese with Korean corn cheese By Ben Mims Los Angeles Times

Many seasonal ingredients are around for a very short window of time; their fleetingness is part of their allure. You get excited for them to arrive, eat as much as you can of them while they’re around, and then pine for them the remaining 50 weeks of the year. Sour cherries in the summer, ramps (on the East Coast) in late spring, persimmons or clementines in the winter —all foods that we desperately want more of but

nature stingily keeps from us for most of our lives. Then there are those ingredients that are technically seasonal but are also so abundant throughout the year that we forget why they’re so special to begin with. Chief among these is corn. Don’t get me wrong, I know that, come late summer, corn can be delightfully sweet, tender and aromatic. But also, corn is available all year round. Right now, corn is in season and in the markets, and it’s perfect. And my current favorite way to

eat it is to make Korean “corn cheese,” precisely because it’s so outlandishly wonderful. Corn cheese, as anyone who’s ever been to a Korean barbecue restaurant knows, is a concoction of corn topped with melted mozzarella cheese that fills half the moat surrounding the central grill at the table. Since I’d never sit down to a bowl of corn and cheese, I, instead, like to sandwich it between two thick slices of sourdough bread and call it a grilled cheese, which I’ll eat with a salad

because, you know, balance. A light sautee, a small pinch of sugar, and then a mix with melty cheeses and just enough mayonnaise to bind it turns the corn into a killer grilled cheese sandwich filling. In addition to all the toasty edges and creamy insides, you get surprise pops of the corn’s unmistakable texture and sweetness. It’s now a sandwich I crave and, luckily, can make any time I want it, no matter the season. Korean corn grilled cheese 40 minutes. Serves 4.

The beauty of this dish is in tasting the sweet corn mixing with the super stretchy cheese. If you want, you can just use low-moisture mozzarella (you can use fresh mozzarella if you’re against the low-moisture kind, but it won’t melt the same way or produce the same flavor we’re after here), but adding fontina or provolone offers a little more flavor without overpowering the sweetness of the corn. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter ½ cup minced yellow onion 1 ½ cups corn kernels (3 to 4 ears) Granulated sugar (optional), if you think the corn needs it

New lunchboxes to kick school year off By Katie Workman Associated Press

A new lunchbox is one of the more fun back-to-school purchases you can make, and a cool one can be a bright spot in your kid’s day. These days, there are loads of choices, some simple, some with lots of bells and whistles. “There are so many more options for insulation than there were even a few years ago, which means parents have a lot more possibilities for what they can pack,” says Cori Snyder Schuman, founder of the Family Food Fest event. “Since my daughter doesn’t eat sandwiches, and prefers hot food, this has made my life much easier.” Lisa Freedman, lifestyle director at thekitchn.com, says lunchboxes “have so many smart features these days — like walls packed with gel that stays cool for hours, special compartments that are truly leakproof, expandable sections and more.” From bags to boxes, from high tech to organic fabric, you and your kid will have fun exploring the options. Just some of the latest from

catching the “big one.” When the boat gets to the beach there is a tractor waiting to pull the boat up on the trailer so you can get off the boat with your catch of the day. Most fishing guides clean and fix your fish for freezing and shipping. Then there is the long ride home well after nine in the evening — but oh well, it is still daylight out! Don’t forget to take your visitors to the old mining towns, Valdez, Hope, Whittier. Or experience the ride from Anchorage to Whittier on the Alaska railroad to meet a cruise ship to take you to Valdez. How about a train trip to Fairbanks? The highlight is Denali and the slow ride over the Hurricane Bridge. Take the train to Denali or one of the bus rides to see the “mountain” up close, or take the long trip to Kantishna Lodge. Get back on the train headed for Fairbanks to see the great mining areas and the great park at “Alaska Land” — with all the museums of the old-time mining, general homestead living and the wonderful museum that houses the pioneers of the beginning of aviation era in Alaska.

lunchbox designers: 1. Vaya Life Tyffyn Lunchbox: These are sleek little numbers with many different looks; an ombre pink finish, a flower-studded Bloom version, or whimsical unicorns prancing all around, to name a few. Each vacuum-insulated lunchbox has metal inner walls and two containers that keep warm food warm and cold food cold. (You do have to pick a lane — both containers need to be working on warm or cold together.) There is an insert to separate foods within the containers. The whole thing snaps closed with metal latches to prevent leakage, and will keep your food at the desired and safe temperature for several hours. The inner containers are dishwasher safe. And each one comes with a colorful insulated bag mat which acts as a wipe-able placemat. A cute way to send your kid to school with a hot lunch. 2. Takenaka Bento Boxes: This Japanese line of boxes has sleek, clean lines and a bright array of colors from which to choose. They come in a variety of shapes, including round and rectangular. Some have dividers to keep foods separate, some have clip locks, and some have a thick elastic band

to keep the container closed. The bottoms are microwavable and they are all dishwasher-safe. A modern and simple choice for younger and older kids. 3. OmieBox: This chunky square container in bright primary colors is an insulated, leak-proof bento box designed especially for younger kids. It has two temperature zones to keep foods hot or cold. The hot-food insert has a clever, screwable lid with a handle designed for little hands, though if you want to remove the insert you can. The OmieBox itself is not heatable or freezable. 4. Planet Box: These come in three sizes: small (Shuttle), medium (Rover) and large (Launch). Each industrial-looking metal box has several compartments inside and one or two “Dippers” — inserts designed to contain wet foods without leakage (a dip for carrots for instance, or some orange slices). Decorative magnets are available so your kid can customize the lunchbox. Once you’ve chosen your box, you then select a carrying bag from an array of color and pattern choices. Lots of mix and match combos. Cold foods only. 5. Built: Many lunch-toting

most of the visitors say — “it’s so quiet here” and “do you live here year round?” Others ask, “it’s so beautiful and much snow do you get?” We have answers for all the questions, after all we have told “our story” many times to visitors through the years. We gladly take them to our favorite fishing holes and our favorite places to go — as you see, summertimes are our vacation along with our many visitors. When they get ready to leave, give a call to all your Alaskan friend and they will be right over with their favorite picnic dish and a big smile ready to meet a new friend from down below. Usually deep-fried beer batter salmon and halibut is what we serve around a bonfire. Some days we just show them our backyard, fishing at Bishop Creek and Swanson River — on our way to show them our very favorite place to go almost every week — Captain Cook State Park. We look across the inlet to the land of 10,000 smokes, volcanoes in every stage of eruption. The oil rigs standing on legs sticking up out of the swift water. Usually, we can name each and every one of the 12 or 15 rigs. But, the most important of all, is to stop and smell the fireweed blossoms and the wild Sitka roses and show off favorite spot to pick blueberries, raspberries. Daughter Gail kept us

well supplied this visitor season! Also, wild strawberries and currents. You do warn them of the “devil’s club” that attacks you if you wander too far off the beaten path. Watch out for those devilish stickers and that big ol’ bear that may be watching you pick HIS blueberries. We tell them of our “bear encounters” and Momma moose and her babies. This year we had twin babies and Momma in our back yard. We end the summer days around our bonfire telling tall tales of Alaska. Most of them are true! Our valuable visitors this year from Buckley, Washington, are Jo Anne (Adams) Wahlstrom and her pretty daughter Kandi, who was born in Kenai — Dr. Pete Hansen was the doctor. The other guests who traveled to Homer with us were Leatha and Tia Earll. They live in Soldotna. Dr. Hansen was also the doctor when Tia was born. Tia and Kandi are almost the same age. She and my daughter Susan are great friends. Daughter Susan was the driver and sightseeing tour guide. We would leave home early in the morning to see the sights around Kenai and Soldotna. The destination this day was Funny River Road and seeing the wonderful groomed grounds of Alaska River Cabins, where Susan’s flowers from Fireweed Greenhouse graced the property.

night from a two-day trip to Homer. Our lodge and Land’s End was perfect. We made trips all over Homer and the trip to the Bear Creek Winery was spectacular. Their gardens are beautiful. Of course, we walked the Homer Spit row shops. Ate at Captain Patties, AJ’s steakhouse and had takeout pizza and salads from Fat Olives on Bishop Beach. Our trip home included a visit to the Russian Orthodox Church perched above Ninilchik. Then, a stop at the General Store for ice cream. We came home happy, tired and ready to rest at our own house. Today, we will go to Old Town Kenai, and then find a nice place to eat. Tomorrow, I will put them on the airplane back to their own homes, loved ones and beds. I want to thank King and Bernie Titera for the hospitality of providing lodging for Jo Anne and Kandi. Their peaceful house and beautiful surroundings were at the top of the list for peacefulness in Alaska!. We had a get-together picnic for most of our friends Saturday. Wonderful music by Nikki Turnbull was provided and appreciated by all. She even let people pick out their own favorite song. I thank you very much for her three hours of music! Also, tomorrow Susan’s son Michael and daughter Cecile age 13 now, will come from Washington, after picking up another passenger in Anchorage, niece Natalie to stay the week with them. They have several things planned, including an afternoon at Great Grannie Annie and

Great Grandpa Bob’s playing bingo, with Bob as the caller. We have fun prizes and the girls will have fun with our kitties. It will be so nice to see them!

Colts expect Luck to miss preseason with injury By Michael Marot AP Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts believe lingering pain in Andrew Luck’s lower left leg will likely force their starting quarterback to miss the rest of the preseason. They’re still unsure about his availability for the Sept. 8 season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Tuesday additional testing revealed Luck appears to be suffering from an injury near the front of his ankle, something his previously diagnosed strained left calf might have exacerbated. “Honestly, I think it’s a cumulative thing through the years. Andrew’s had some issues with his left (ankle) for a while, so I think it’s

really a cumulative thing,” Ballard told local reporters on a conference call. “We think we’ve found it. You hope you’ve found what the cause is. Is there a 100 percent guarantee? No, but we think we have, so we’ll move forward and try to treat it.” The injury kept Luck out of all of the team’s offseason workouts and all but three training camp practices. He still has not participated in full team drills. Ballard and coach Frank Reich initially described the injury as a strained calf, but when Luck continued to complain about soreness, team officials started digging deeper to get answers. On Monday, Colts owner Jim Irsay told SiriusXM radio the team believed Luck had an injury to the os trigonum, a small, accessory bone near the back of the ankle.

But new tests, Ballard said, determined the soreness was coming from the front of the ankle. “Most of his pain is right below the calf, kind of anklish, up a little bit. Remember, everyone kept focusing on the Achilles and it’s not the Achilles,” Ballard said. “The issue right now is the side to side stuff, the rolling of the ankle. Anything moving forward is good. It’s the moving in the pocket.” In his most recent interview, Luck said he felt as if something was tugging at his lower left leg near the ankle when he ran. The current diagnosis does not call for surgery, just more rehab and a different routine. Luck did participate in individual work and some seven-onseven drills during the first week of camp, but has been limited See NFL, Page A10

Yanks top O’s for 15th straight time New York starter German wins MLB-high 16th game of season NEW YORK (AP) — Domingo Germán pitched seven strong innings to become the first 16-game winner in the majors and the New York Yankees beat Baltimore 8-3 on Tuesday night, running their winning streak over the Orioles to 15 games. Germán allowed two runs, five hits, struck out seven, walked one and won his career-high seventh straight decision. DJ LeMahieu homered on the first pitch he saw to get the Yankees going. Aaron Judge added a two-run double in New York’s four-run fourth. Gio Urshela had three more hits, including an RBI single in the fourth. Cameron Maybin had a two-run single in the second while Gary Sánchez and Mike Tauchman added RBI doubles as the Yankees totaled 15 hits. Germán (16-2) kept Baltimore offbalance by throwing 37 curveballs. He generated 14 of his 21 swings and misses on his curveball.

BRAVES 5, METS 3 ATLANTA (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. homered and threw out a runner at the plate to back Max Fried’s fifth straight win, leading Atlanta past New York. Acuña sparked a two-run first against

Zack Wheeler by leading off with a long single off the wall in right-center, coming around to score his 100th run of the season. In the fourth, he lined a 409-foot drive into the left-field seats for his 34th homer. Acuña ended the sixth by scooping up a single to left by Juan Lagares and rifling a one-hop throw to the plate to get Todd Frazier trying to score from second.

Rafael Devers became the first player in major league history with six hits and four doubles — and he made a costly error at third base — as the Red Sox won for just the fourth time in 16 games.

NEW YORK (AP) — Mercury center Brittney Griner will miss the next three games after the WNBA suspended her Tuesday for her role in a fight in the Dallas-Phoenix game over the weekend that resulted in six players getting ejected. The league punished Griner for throwing punches, escalating the incident and pushing Wings forward Kayla Thornton’s face with an open hand. Dallas forward Kristine Anigwe was suspended two games for instigating the initial altercation with Griner and taking an open-handed swing at her. Thornton also was suspended two games for her role in the scuffle. “I got three games, I’m not disputing that at all,” Griner said. “Do I think it should have been three across the board? I would have been happy with that. I’m not happy, and it’s not because of my suspension. I take ownership of mine, no place for that in sports, and I apologize to everybody that was there.” With 6:25 left in the fourth quarter, Griner and Anigwe got tangled up in the lane and a scuffle ensued. Griner had to be restrained by an official at midcourt, where she was still trying to get at Dallas players. She regretted that the fight took attention away from her Heart & Sole charity drive, in which fans donated shoes to help the homeless. “It was turning out to be such a great night. A dunk, won some money for a fan, had over 600 shoes brought in,” Griner said. “It definitely didn’t turn out that way at the end.” Phoenix guard Diana Taurasi and Dallas forward Kaela Davis were suspended a game apiece for leaving the bench area during Saturday’s altercation and directly engaging with the opposing team.

Griner will begin serving her suspension Wednesday when Phoenix hosts the Connecticut Sun. Anigwe and Thornton will begin serving their suspensions that same night when Dallas hosts the Los Angeles Sparks. The Mercury’s center bought 300 tickets for Wednesday’s game to “provide the best home court advantage in the WNBA”. Taurasi, who currently is injured, will serve her suspension during the first game after she is medically cleared to play. Davis will miss Sunday’s game, when Dallas visits Connecticut, due to the league’s requirement that a team have a minimum of eight players dressed for all games. Because of injuries, the Wings are down to 10 healthy players. Taurasi and Davis also were fined $500. Additionally, Phoenix forward DeWanna Bonner was fined $500 for escalating the incident. Briann January also was ejected from the game but wasn’t punished after the league deemed she was acting as a peacemaker. There haven’t been too many fights in the 23-year history of the WNBA. The biggest was a brawl between Los Angeles and Detroit in 2008 when 10 players were suspended for their actions, as well as an assistant coach for the Shock. Plenette Pierson, who was deemed to have initiated the altercation, got a four-game suspension, the most of anyone in that fight.

NFL teaming with Jay-Z on entertainment and social activism By Barry Wilner AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL and Jay-Z’s entertainment and sports representation company are teaming up for events and social activism. The league not only will use Jay-Z’s Roc Nation to consult on its entertainment presentations, including the Super Bowl halftime show, but will work with the rapper and entrepreneur’s company to “strengthen community through music and the NFL’s Inspire Change initiative.”

Inspire Change was created by the league after an agreement with a coalition of players who demonstrated during the national anthem to protest social and racial injustice in this country. Those demonstrations were sparked by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem in 2016. NFL owners agreed to contribute up to $89 million over six years toward causes players were supporting. Commissioner Roger Goodell sees the partnership with Roc Nation as a significant step in several directions. “Roc Nation is one of the most

globally influential and impactful organizations in entertainment,” Goodell said. “The NFL and Roc Nation share a vision of inspiring meaningful social change across our country. We are thrilled to partner with Roc Nation and look forward to making a difference in our communities together.” While the entertainment portion of the deal is important — Roc Nation’s stable includes Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Shakira and, of course, Jay-Z — much emphasis from both the league and the representation group is being placed on the social relations aspect of the

agreement. For Inspire Change to succeed, it must have strong roots within the communities that are most affected by the issues the players want addressed: criminal justice reform; relationships with police; economic growth opportunities; and educational progress. “With its global reach, the National Football League has the platform and opportunity to inspire change across the country,” said Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter. “Roc Nation has shown that entertainment and enacting change are not mutually exclusive ideas — instead, we unify them.

This partnership is an opportunity to strengthen the fabric of communities across America.” Jay-Z has been a strong supporter of Kaepernick, who has not played in the NFL the past two seasons and is not with a team now. He has turned down invitations to perform at the Super Bowl, as has Rihanna. But now there is a working agreement between the league and Roc Nation, which also represents such NFL stars as Todd Gurley, Saquon Barkley and Ndamukong Suh. How that plays out on both the entertainment and social initiatives fronts figures to be newsworthy.

MLB From Page A9

The Phillies will have a familiar face in the dugout Wednesday when new hitting coach Charlie Manuel arrives. The franchise icon was hired to replace John Mallee as hitting coach earlier in the day. He’s got a lot of work to do to revive an underachieving offense that overcame 15 strikeouts for the win, but the pitching staff did the job against the NL Central leaders.

DODGERS 15, MARLINS 1 MIAMI (AP) — Rookie Will Smith had his first twohomer game, and Los Angeles twice hit back-to-back homers in a rout of Miami. Cody Bellinger tied a career high with his 39th home run and Justin Turner hit his 20th for the Dodgers, who totaled six homers, a season-high 13 extra-base hits and no singles until there were two out in the ninth.

to working on his own and running walkthroughs since July 29. Without Luck, Jacoby Brissett has been working with a starting offense that has struggled. Indy’s defense has outplayed the offense consistently at camp and in Thursday’s loss at Buffalo, the Colts generated only two first downs on their first seven series. The Cleveland Browns will be in town Wednesday and Thursday for joint practices with the Colts. Reich had already said Luck wouldn’t practice or play in Saturday’s game. “Coming into it, we were going to limit his playing time in the preseason anyway,” Ballard said. “So right now, I’m telling you, most likely, he doesn’t play in the preseason.” Luck’s long absence and the uncertainty of what the injury was produced growing speculation among fans that there was a more serious injury and it was starting to sound like 2017 when Luck missed the entire season after having surgery on his throwing shoulder. Ballard shrugged off any such notion. Luck returned last season and led the Colts to their first playoff appearance in four years, won the league’s Comeback Player of the Year award and went to his fourth Pro Bowl. “Look, this is not 2017,” Ballard said. “When I came in the door, one of the things we talked about was building a team and it wasn’t all going to be about one guy. I understand the importance of Andrew Luck. Look, he’s a top-five quarterback in the league, but we have another guy we like (Brissett). So we’ll treat it and we’ll move

standard the school must meet in proving his firing was justified. The collective bargaining agreement between the school and the American Association of University Professors, of which Ollie is a member, requires a showing of serious misconduct in order to fire an employee for “just cause” and also affords Ollie other union protections UConn had argued that Ollie’s personal contract superseded the union deal, allowing it to fire him in March, 2018 for a broader range of offenses. Arbitrator Marcia Greenbaum, in a decision filed on July 31, found that neither Ollie nor the union waived his union protections when signing his latest contract. The arbitrator plans hearings to determine whether UConn fired Ollie for just cause, or if he is owed more than $10 million that was left on his contract, which was through June 30, 2021. “Serious misconduct is the standard that now has to be proved by the university,” said Michael Bailey, executive director of UConn’s chapter of the AAUP. “I think, as the arbitrator said in her discussion, that is a heavy burden to be placed on the university.” The school acknowledged Tuesday that the ruling will make proving its case more difficult. “Nonetheless, UConn remains confident it can prevail in this matter, even against the higher standard, especially in light of the

Giants WR Tate suspended 4 games for performance enhancer EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate has had the appeal of his four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL’s policy on performance enhancers turned down. The decision by an independent arbiter was announced Tuesday and means the 10-year-veteran will miss the first four games of the regular season, starting with Dallas on Sept. 8. Tate, who signed a $37.5 million contract as a free agent with the Giants in March, announced the suspension in a Twitter post on July 27. He said he intended to appeal it and felt his case had merit because he was using a fertility drug prescribed by a doctor. The appeal was heard by a member of an independent appeals panel in New York last week. The NFL allows players to use fertility drugs but they must obtain a therapeutic use exemption prior to using them. The league has insisted players are responsible for the drugs and supplements they take and advises them to talk to team trainers and medical personnel before using them. “This morning I received the unfortunate news that my appeal was denied,” Tate said in a statement on Twitter. “I went into this arbitration with the understanding that due to the facts, unlike many other cases, we could be the exception to win. Unfortunately the NFL stood by their no tolerance policy, which I hope one day to help have a part in reforming, so no other player has to go through this situation.”

recent NCAA ruling,” said Stephanie Reitz, the school’s spokeswoman. The NCAA Committee on Infractions last month placed the UConn program on two years of probation and sanctioned Ollie individually for numerous violations of NCAA rules during his tenure. The Committee on Infractions said the violations mainly stemmed from improper pickup games at which student managers kept statistics for coaches, the use of a video coordinator as a coach, which resulted in more than the allowable number of coaches, and free training sessions provided to three players by a trainer who was friends with Ollie. The NCAA issued a three-year, show-cause order for the former head coach for failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance and providing misleading statements to investigators and failing to monitor his staff. That means that any NCAA member school that might hire Ollie must restrict him from any athletically related duties unless it shows why those restrictions should not apply. But Ollie’s attorney, Jacques Parenteau, said that does not mean the firing was justified. “One should not assume that the NCAA’s recent action, which was totally lacking in due process protections, will have any relevance before an impartial arbitrator,” he said. Bailey said he is hopeful that, in the absence of a settlement, the arbitration process can be concluded by the end of the year.

Harbaugh says he wouldn’t lie about transfer By Larry Lage AP Sports Writer

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Jim Harbaugh lashed out Tuesday night at Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell, who said Michigan did not support a transfer’s attempt to immediately play for the Bearcats. Harbaugh said he told Fickell months ago he wouldn’t lie about what he

knew regarding the transfer of James Hudson. Fickell told The Athletic that Michigan didn’t support Hudson’s waiver request. “They can say they didn’t undermine it, but they didn’t work to help the kid out,” Fickell said in the story published Tuesday. “All the power is in the hands of the school a player is leaving. If they want to help, they can help them

become eligible.” Harbaugh said that’s simply not true. “Michigan did not block the waiver,” said Harbaugh, adding it was the NCAA’s decision to deny Hudson’s request. The NCAA does not comment on specific waiver cases and rarely do schools, even when an athlete waives protection under federal privacy laws.

If you don’t have it in you to stay and see this through to a possibly positive conclusion, end the relationship. DEAR ABBY: My neighbor regularly goes around gardening in her yard wearing yoga pants with huge tears in the inner thighs and an even bigger hole in the crotch. You can’t miss it because she bends over, and stays bent over, for significant quantities of time while she is weeding. Her behind is frequently aimed in the direction of my house and yard. Abby, you could fit both hands in that hole, and it stretches wide over her pear-shaped rear end! I have kids, and her other close neighbors have kids even younger than mine. The first time I saw her, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed the tears were recent. But

she wears this same pair of indecent pants every time she goes out to garden. Today, when I looked out my dining room window, there she was bent over, flashing her derriere, with a hole in her underwear right where the holes in her pants were. She isn’t poor. She spends lots of money on her garden and updating her house every year. This woman is in her 60s, semi-retired, and loves nothing more than to call the police and the city code enforcement people on any neighbor she dislikes, so I can’t talk to her about it because I’m afraid she’ll retaliate. Should I send her an anonymous letter asking her to buy new pants? — EXPOSED OUT THERE DEAR EXPOSED: No. Tell her calmly that you are concerned about your children and ask her to please wear something less “revealing.” However, if she refuses, install a hedge to shield you from the view. And practice your “look away” skills.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You are eliminating some never-questioned concepts, and at the same time you are accepting more responsibility. Keep a firm hold on your finances. A child or loved one plays a significant role in your day. Tonight: Check in on an older relative.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might want to take off and go out of town for the day. Do not be surprised at how you feel when you wake up. A partner might change his or her tune about

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Willingly let go of your need for control and you could be delighted by what comes down the path. Associates, loved ones and friends might surprise you, but they are accommodating. Tonight: It appears as if someone has decided to indulge you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH One-on-one relating could be more exciting than you might have thought. You find the process of getting to know someone better — one person in particular — rewarding and worthwhile. Later, you will decide what niche this bond belongs in. Tonight: Opt to be a team — for now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be pleased and surprised by a phone call or gesture from someone you care about. You might not be used to someone making the first move. Be flattered. A child or a dear friend adds to your mood. He or she wants to visit with you. Tonight: Go for the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Pace yourself, and if possible, get ahead of your work. You will want some extra time very soon. Some of you also will opt for more personal time. You are processing an issue. Your instincts are right on. Tonight: Relax.

Dear Heloise: Plastic or wood cutting boards — which is the best to use when preparing food? — Maria G. in San Antonio Maria, plastic cutting boards are considered safer because they aren’t as likely to harbor bacteria. If you use a wooden board, you can clean it with a mixture of 2 teaspoons of chlorine bleach plus 1 teaspoon of vinegar in a gallon of water. Re-season the wooden cutting board by rubbing it with mineral oil. Do not use a salad oil, as it might become rancid. — Heloise

HAMBURGER SECRET Dear Heloise: I have a recipe for the best hamburgers for people who make them at home. Take two parts of lean hamburger meat and one part of ground sausage, mix well and shape into patties. Barbecue on the grill, fry or broil.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

HHH Be aware of what makes you tick, and be aware of an opportunity that could delight you to no end. An understanding of the dynamics of this situation could make a difference in the end results. Tonight: Make an effort to pick up the tab with a friend.

HHHH Your playfulness emerges out of the blue. You might need to add a little sobriety to your work situation, as others might not appreciate your lightness with the moment. Someone lets you know they have a case of the butterflies when they think of you. Tonight: Live as if there is no tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHHHH Use your charisma, as it seems to delight others. They respond to you. A matter involving property could surprise you. Get past your reaction. You will know what to do. Tonight: Spontaneously make merry.

HHHH Listen to news that might cause you to adjust your plans. The information you receive will probably have an impact on your domestic or personal life. Stay centered and do not push too hard to have everything fall into place as you might like. Tonight: Order in.

HH You might feel a little out of it. Get as much done as possible. The pace is about to pick up. Try to squeeze in a nap or two, as well as a trip to the pool or gym. You will want to be in great shape soon. Tonight: Not to be found.

HHHHH Follow through on what is happening around you. Be aware of what is needed from you.

We were on vacation near Austin, Texas. At a cafe, we stopped and ate a hamburger, and it was good. The owner told me what they used. — Opal A., Garden Grove, Calif.

COOKIES FROM CAKE MIX Dear Readers: Here’s a fun recipe your family will love: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Mix 2 eggs and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil with the box of your favorite cake mix. (Use only the above ingredients, not the ingredients listed on the box.) You can add other things like nuts, raisins or chocolate chips to make your cookies special. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes and let cool before serving. The family gets homemade cookies without a lot of fuss or mess. And anytime you need to bake a lot of cookies for some function, this is the easy way to do it. — Heloise
