In the news Soldotna special election absentee ballots now open Soldotna residents can start voting on whether or not Soldotna should borrow $10 million in a bond for a field house. Absentee ballots for the special election are now available at Soldotna City Hall and can be cast in person until the special election. The question will officially be put in front of voters on March 5. Voters may submit their ballot by electronic transmission until March 4. The total cost of the project is estimated at $11.8 million dollars. If the bond is approved, $10 million will be financed through debt of a general obligation bond, with the remaining covered by private funders, donations, grants or, if needed, funds previously authorized by the city council. The city would take on a 10-year bond with an interest rate between 3 and 3.5 percent. It would be paid off in 10 years with 10 annual payments. The half-percent yearround sales tax increase would cover that debt, increasing the tax from 3 percent to 3.5 percent. — Kat Sorensen
Coast Guard dismisses 4 in Kodiak for illicit drug activity KODIAK (AP) — Four Coast Guardsmen investigated for illicit drug activity in Kodiak have been kicked out of the service. The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports two people were dismissed from the main base and two from Air Station Kodiak. Lt. Cmdr. Raymond Reichl says the four are subject to non-judicial punishment but not military criminal charges. Reichl did not release names of the four or give details of their alleged activities. The agency in October launched an internal investigation into drug activity and it continues. Some under investigation were removed from regular duties. Regular duties could include standing on security watches, performing work aboard aircraft or cutters and conducting pollution response investigations. Reichl last week said personnel cleared of wrongdoing have been returned to “duty status.”

Residents crowd town hall By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion
Hundreds of peninsula residents squeezed into the Kenai Peninsula Borough Betty J. Glick Assembly Chambers to attend a town hall with Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Kenai/Soldotna, and Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski. Many residents spoke against the governor’s proposed cuts to education, while some residents supported the administration’s plan to reduce government spending. The event was standing room only and Micciche said he was surprised by the turnout and would encourage a bigger venue for the next town hall. Before the lawmakers took questions from residents, Micciche discussed legislation he was working on, including a progress report on a bill he introduced, which closes the “Schnei-

House creates 1st Tribal Affairs committee By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire
The Alaska House of Representatives created its first ever Special Committee on Tribal Affairs. The House passed a resolution 37-1 to create the committee Monday morning, with Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, carrying the dissenting vote. Creating this Special Committee on Tribal Affairs was a longtime goal of Rep. Bryce Edgmon, iDillingham, who is the first Alaska Native Speaker of the House. “We’ve never had a committee to deal solely with tribal issues in the Legis-

lature,” Edgmon said in a written statement. “This is not just about tribal compacting; it is about basic and
critical issues like health, children’s services, law enforcement, economic development, and other needs
that can be met at the village level.” Freshman Rep. Tiffany Zulkosky, D-Bethel, will chair the committee. “Alaska tribes have been working to improve the health and welfare of their communities since well before statehood,” Zulkosky said in an email to the Empire. “As in any other government-to-government relationship, local knowledge strengthens and improves outcomes, allowing our systems to deliver the most efficient and effective services across Alaska. As a result, the federal government, tribes and the state have all benefited.” See HOUSE, page A3
Police traced a latenight 911 call to a house in Seward on Saturday, where they found a 50-year-old Anchorage man wielding a sword and threatening to kill a seriously injured woman, according to a dispatch from Alaska State Troopers. Just after midnight on Saturday, the Public Safety Communication Center in Soldotna received a 911 open line call where dispatchers heard “a physical disturbance and screaming” in the background. The call was traced to a residence in Seward. The Seward Police Department and Seward-based Alaska State Troopers responded. According to the dispatch, Timothy Elve had reportedly smoked methamphetamine and physically assaulted a family member, causing her serious physical injury. Elve had retrieved a sword and threatened to kill the family member with it, the dispatch said. When the troopers arrived, Elve dropped the sword and was arrested without incident, according to the dispatch. He was charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, third-degree assault, criminal trespass and criminal mischief.
Peninsula Hospital CEOs update Borough Assembly By BRIAN MAZUREK Peninsula Clarion
The CEOs of Central and South Peninsula Hospitals presented updates on Feb. 19 to the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly on the financial statuses of the two hospitals, as well as the current status of the Master Fa-
cility Planning for the South Peninsula Hospital. Central Peninsula Hospital • Rick Davis, CEO of Central Peninsula Hospital, gave a report on the first half of the hospital’s Fiscal Year 2019 compared to the same period of FY 2018. The following data was taken from
Davis’s presentation. • Net revenue was $84 million, an increase of $4 million from the previous year. • Gross revenue was $180 million, an 8 percent increase from the previous year. • Net income was $6 million, a $1 million decrease
from the previous year. • The cost of charity care was $2 million while bad debt totaled $3.1 million, and Davis said that these numbers are on track to total $10.6 million by the end of the year. Charity care is defined as medical service provided to a patient who has demonstrated the inability
to pay, while bad debt is the total of uncompensated services where a patient was unwilling to settle a health-care claim regardless of financial status. • There was a total of $5.3 million in uncompensated care provided by the hospital. See CEOS, page A3
Bill would give new power to gov’s office By KEVIN BAIRD Juneau Empire
The Office of Management and Budget would have unprecedented power under Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s proposed budget bill. It would give OMB Director Donna Arduin the ability to transfer funds within a department.
The OMB is part of the governor’s office. However, the Legislative Affairs’ non-partisan Legal Services team issued an opinion on the matter, calling this proposal “almost certainly” an “unlawful delegation” of power. The language in question appears at the top of each de-
partmental section in Sponsor Substitute Senate Bill 20, the governor’s budget bill. “At the discretion of the Office of Management and Budget, funding may be transferred between all appropriations in the Department,” SSSB 20 says under each departmental section. If the language were to
pass, according to the Legal Services opinion, “even if the legislature made an appropriation to a specific program or for a specific purpose within a department, OMB could transfer some or all funds from that appropriation to another program or purpose within that same department.” The opinion concludes,
saying, “In sum, a court is unlikely to find that the proposed language in SSSB 20 is constitutional or permissible under (Alaska Statute), since the broad authority granted to OMB appears to essentially override most of the legislature’s power to appropriate.” Sen. Bill Wielechowski, See BILL, page A2
AG says only 10 percent of work Soldotna man tracks down his own stolen vehicle related to controversial issues By MOLLIE BARNES Juneau Empire
Kevin Clarkson, Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s Attorney General designee, drew fire from supporters and opponents alike at a hearing with the House Judiciary committee on Monday. He said only 10 percent of his work has been re-
lated to controversial social cases. His work on cases involving social issues has drawn attention, with some gay rights and abortion rights advocates raising concerns against him at the hearing. “I feel my family has been personally hurt by Clarkson’s discriminatory efforts,” said Lin Davis, a
retired state worker who testified in Juneau. She said she wasn’t allowed to add her wife to her health insurance plan. “I haven’t seen anything from Mr. Clarkson that gives me hope that he would support our efforts to have equal protection,” she said. “I would strongly

survey, which he said would help him to better understand what is most important to his constituents. The survey asks District 30 voters what their budget priorities are. Carpenter used a pomelo grapefruit as a prop to explain Alaska’s “ginormous budget problem.” Holding up a tangerine in his other hand, Carpenter emphasized the importance of balancing the budget and reducing the cost of government. Attendees were asked to raise their hands if they were there to discuss issues with the governor’s budget, crime, education or to support a full Permanent Fund Dividend check. Many people in the crowded room raised their hands to say they were there to discuss the budget, crime, and education, while only a few raised their hands to defend a full Permanent Fund Dividend check. Micciche said the governor’s budget was a great conversation starter. “We have real issues and we do have to manage the cost of our government,” Micciche said. “Some of you here are just going to say ‘slash to the bone,’ but when I talk to you about your disabled child’s services and you want me to slash to the bone, you need to realize your disabled child will not receive what they’re getting today.” Many people spoke in

so brazen I can’t even imagine why the governor would attempt it.” He was concerned about the separation of powers, with the legislative branch being the appropriating branch. “This language upends the principle of separation of powers and would allow the governor and his OMB Director to seize budgetary control from the legislative branch and make virtually any changes to the budget that they wish,” Wielechowski
said in a press release. Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, who co-chairs the Finance Committee, was not worried about this language, though. He said the Legislative Branch has two main duties: appropriating money and writing statutes. So retaining the power of appropriation remains high on the Legislature’s priority list. “If I was the governor, I would be highly supportive of a single appropriation for all my departments,” Stedman said. “As a Legislature, I’m not in-
terested in changing that at all. Therein lies the separation of powers.” Stedman said the he does not fault the governor for asking for this, but the Legislature will not relinquish its power of appropriation. “This is a proposal,” Stedman said. “We’re not turning our appropriating power to the other branch of government any more than we’ll become the trial courts at Senate Finance. We have our separations; we’ll keep it that way.”
support of education, and against Gov. Dunleavy’s proposed cuts to the K-12 system. One local student asked for a smaller Permanent Fund Dividend check if it meant adequate funding for education. Concerned about losing extracurriculars, Allison, a student at Soldotna High School, asked how the lawmakers planned on giving young Alaskans the tools they need to succeed. “Extracurriculars are important to a lot of high schoolers,” she said. “They help them regain their mental stability. It helps them keep going and makes them refresh, in a way. I feel it would be very bad if it was taken away from them. Students are 100 percent the future of Alaska and if we’re not giving them the tools to help make Alaska better, then I don’t know how that’s going to help us in the long run.” To improve local schools, Carpenter encouraged parents to get more involved in their child’s education. “From what I hear, the problems are not in the schools they are in the homes,” Carpenter said. “We need more participation. We need parents to care and to get involved with the schools.” Several people asked the lawmakers if new taxes were being considered. Several residents spoke in support of a flat tax or income tax. Melody Jordan came to the town hall from Seward. She said when she first moved to Alaska in the 1970s, a $10
tax was taken out of her paycheck to help fund education. Jordan asked why it was removed and supported the tax’s return. “I was just a young kid and I was like ‘I don’t have any kids. I don’t have anyone in school here,’” Jordan said. “I wonder why that tax was repealed and if we could reinstate it? If we could reinstate that tax, at maybe a higher amount, that could help our education.” Micciche said he didn’t know why the tax was repealed. “We came into more money than we could ever spend, except we spent more than we ever had, and that’s how we got into this situation,” Micciche said. “I don’t know what kind of support there would be for that, but that’s the kind of conversation we have to have.” Borough resident Karl Kircher asked if Alaskans contributing to the revenue stream was on the table. “When you say all of the above, is a revenue stream from Alaskans contributing to their state, on the table?” He said. Carpenter said tax ideas have to be on the table, while Micciche said it would be on the table at the proper time. “Why should only working Alaskans pay for the services,” Micciche said. “We have to prioritize first, and I’m more than willing to have that discussion.” “Do I support a flat tax over other forms of taxes, I think so,” Carpenter said. “Do I think it’s necessary at this point in time? I don’t
think so. I’m certainly not going to stand here and tell you that that’s what I think the solution is because it’s not. Do I think everybody needs their dividend? No, I don’t think everyone needs a dividend. Do I think cutting the dividend hurts the people who actually need it most? Yes, I do. It’s an allof-the-above approach that we are going to have to look at. Our bottom line is that our revenues do not match our expenses. A new tax has consequences. Government spending has consequences.” One resident, Kate, listed possible money-making ideas the state could implement, such as taxing junk food, increasing the sales tax between May and September when tourists are visiting, a state income tax and an increase to the alcohol tax. Several residents also spoke in support of less government and reduced government spending. Christine Hutchinson said she was in favor of Dunleavy’s proposed budget. “We are a conservative district,” Hutchinson said. “We voted for Dunleavy. We voted for Pierce. We voted for Trump. If you can’t understand that and convert it to this budget there is something wrong. These two guys have repeated several times that this budget is not final and these two guys are not done voting on it… Everything you can do to get the government out of my way, I would appreciate.” Both Carpenter and Micciche said they don’t know what the final budget might look like.

Parenthood representative, also spoke in opposition to Clarkson’s appointment. She said throughout his career, Clarkson has elevated religious organizations when it comes to abortion rights. But one representative said it sets a bad precedent to judge candidates based on clients they represented. “Don’t you think maybe it’s kind of a dangerous precedent to say we shouldn’t confirm a lawyer who doesn’t agree with us?” asked Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, R-Anchorage.
Currey said that precedent has already been set, because there were people who were nominated for positions last session, who used to work for Planned Parenthood and weren’t confirmed as a result of their previous work experience and past views. Rep. Adam Wool, DFairbanks, also asked about Clarkson’s involvement with any cases regarding gay marriage. “The city of Fairbanks today is going to hear a city ordinance about non-discrimination based on gen-
der, sexual identity,” Wool said. “If the state Legislature were to pass a law like that would you support it?” “It wouldn’t be my job to support it,” Clarkson said. “It would be my job to enforce it.” Clarkson has said he helped draft the 1998 state constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. But he notes the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage is now the law. Thorough, hard-work-
ing and honest were some adjectives used to describe him and his work as a lawyer by several attorneys who testified by phone on Clarkson’s behalf. “I couldn’t give him a higher recommendation,” said one person on the line. “There’s never been any issue with anything he’s done as a lawyer.” Rep. David Eastman, R-Wasilla, asked Clarkson if he would be comfortable prosecuting Gov. Mike Dunleavy if he found out that the governor was breaking the law.
“I have every confidence I’m not going to face that problem,” Clarkson says. “I believe he respects the law. I can’t put him in a headlock and stop him from doing what he wants to do. If the governor decides to not follow my advice, perhaps if I advise something is not constitutional, the check at that point is the judiciary.” LeDoux motioned to forward his nomination to the joint session, where the House and Senate will vote on his appointment.

Assembly Member Kelly Cooper asked Davis why the amount spent on uncompensated care had increased by $800,000 from the previous year. Davis responded that since 2014, with the opening of the insurance exchange market and Medicaid expansion, uncompensated care costs had dropped steadily for four years in a row. Davis described the sudden increase as a normalizing of the trend, and said he expected that number to continue to rise. Assembly Member Willy Dunne asked about the hospital’s coordinated addiction services as well as the status of the hospital’s new tran-
sitional housing and detox facilities, since the borough had approved the funding of these projects last year. Davis said that both facilities are fully operational and are typically at capacity. Patients are treated from all over the peninsula and occasionally even from Anchorage, said Davis.

The following information is based on Woodin’s presentation. • Net revenue was $75 million, an increase of $3.4 million from the previous year. • Net income was $429,000, and this was the first time in over 12 years that the hospital ended with a positive operating margin • Operating cash was
$19.3 million, a $5 million increase from the previous year. Woodin said that if the operating cash continues to be enough to fund 90 days of operation, the hospital could have extra money to put back into the borough’s budget. • $1 million was paid towards the $3 million bond for the expansion of the Homer Medical Center Woodin said that the master facility expansion for the hospital is still in the planning phase and that the expansion will likely include
remodeling, consolidation of services, expansion of parking, and acquisition of private property to expand the size of the hospital’s campus. At the moment, planners are looking at previous expansion plans dating back to 1994 to determine what areas have been consistently problematic throughout the past two decades. Woodin said that creating more parking and ensuring ease of access to services are the top priorities for the expansion efforts.

What Others Say
Transparency calls for more than online hospital pricing The Trump administration’s new requirement to place hospital pricing data online is well intentioned. It is also ineffective. We encourage all hospitals in our region to go beyond what is required by the government. The price disclosure requirement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service went into effect Jan. 1. Our hospital is in compliance with the law. In fact, the vast majority of hospitals are in compliance. The effort toward transparency is commended. While the intention is great, the execution is something far less. The pricing data posted online is largely incomprehensible. To the average consumer, it is gibberish. Furthermore, the information is hard to find. You have to know what you are looking for, know what it is called and know where to search. Then, when you find it you need an interpreter. Even more confusing is that while the prices are posted, everyone concedes the prices you will find online are not what either consumers, health insurance companies or the government actually pays. So, what’s the point? Is this really transparency? Or is it something more akin to smoke and mirrors? We like what Johnny Ball, assistant administrator of communications and public affairs at South Georgia Medical Center, said about the hospital’s willingness to have staff consult with patients about actual costs prior to admission or procedures. We understand his point that since no two patients are alike, there will be variables that are not reflected in the price list and we appreciate his willingness to explain it to us in easy to understand terminology. But what Tift Regional CFO Kim Willis said about the online pricing data is striking. She said, “While I commend (the federal government’s) effort to promote price transparency and help patients understand the cost of health care, I do not believe this step will improve the patient’s understanding of health-care costs.” We agree that hospitals such as SGMC and Tift do disclose information to patients but they have done that for a very long time. It’s nothing new. What is new is this requirement to make the information publicly available all the time. There is discretion in how the price list is presented to the public. When the Center for Medicaid and Medicare rolled out the new law, it encouraged hospitals to provide data in a consumer-friendly way that would make it possible for the consumer to compare prices for service between various hospitals, so they could shop for the best value. That hasn’t happened. Hospitals have discretion in how they post the price list. The requirement of the federal government is that the data be machine-readable. That means the data must be in a form that can be processed by a computer. We believe that in addition to being machinereadable, it should be people-readable. — The Valdosta (Georgia) Daily Times, Feb. 17

Why the Robert Kraft bust matters
Robert Kraft’s name will now long be associated with one of the most despicable scourges of modern life, and rightly so. The New England Patriots owner is charged with soliciting prostitution at a Florida massage parlor busted as part of a sex-trafficking ring. Kraft denies it, although the police in Jupiter, Florida, say they have video evidence. The charges against him, and two other high-flying men from the financial world, represent an important front in the fight against sex trafficking. Authorities should be doing everything they can to crack down on the supply of trafficked women — via the networks that often import them to the U.S. and force them into prostitution — but also exacting a price from the men who constitute the demand. As Donna Hughes of the University of Rhode Island has written in support of a perpetrator-focused approach to sex trafficking: “The men who purchase the sex acts remain nameless, faceless, and uncharacterized. They are not stigmatized the way that ‘prostitutes’ are. Yet, the men, the buyers of commercial sex acts, are the ultimate consumers of trafficked women and children. They use them for entertainment and sexual gratification, and often perpetrate acts of violence against them.” To their credit, authorities undertook a monthslong investigation of the Orchids of Asia spa, where strangely the only customers were male, and dozens of similar operations. They placed cameras inside
and charged hundreds of men. (The agency that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives want to abolish, Immigration and Customs EnforceRich Lowry ment, assisted on the case.) The Orchids of Asia spa was in an unremarkable strip mall in a tony area of Florida, neighbors with other businesses including an Outback Steakhouse and a surf shop. Beneath the veneer of normality there existed a sink of degradation. The women were lured from China with promises of legitimate work and then trapped in a life of sexual slavery. They were working to pay off debts incurred traveling to the United States. Some of them had their passports confiscated. There was no choice and no escape from a nightmarish existence that makes a mockery of the glamorous image of prostitution in much of the popular culture and belies the term “sex worker.” Sex with up to a thousand men a year. No change of clothes. Sleep on massage tables. Food from hot plates at the back of the parlor. Moved around from one parlor to the next as pawns of the traffickers. And this is a major business. According to the anti-trafficking group Polaris, the country’s 9,000 illicit massage parlors make $2.5 billion a year. They are such a lucrative indus-
try only because the Robert Krafts of the world are patrons. He is a billionaire, famous and the owner of one of the most successful franchises in sports. He presumably has access to women, indeed dates an actress and dancer nearly 40 years younger than he is. He doesn’t have to go to a strip-mall massage parlor for sex. Except that it’s impossible to find women who are so thoroughly disposable as those compelled to perform sex acts at the likes of the Orchids of Asia spa. The commercial transaction lent a veneer of consent to a sexual exchange where only one party was exercising volition — the men who showed up, paid $100 or $200 and then went on their way. They are the appropriate target of law enforcement. In Illinois, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart has been a national leader in making it a priority to go after the buyers of sex, while offering help to prostitutes. It will, of course, never be possible to end demand for trafficked women. But as with domestic violence, the law can be used as a tool of social disapproval to change how the culture regards prostitution, achieving clarity on who are the victims and the victimizers. Everyone who availed themselves of the Orchids of Asia spa, not just the monsters profiting from it, is the latter. Rich Lowry can be reached via email at comments.lowry@nationalreview.com.
Protect Alaskans from predatory lenders It seems obvious that lenders should not make loans to people who cannot afford to repay the loan. But that common-sense principle of consumer lending is being turned on its head by predatory payday lenders. To these unscrupulous financial actors peddling triple-digit interest rate loans, borrowers who struggle to repay are the real money makers. And new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Director Kathy Kraninger just proposed greenlighting payday lenders’ money grab. Once consumers’ trusted watchdog and a top ally in Washington, D.C., the CFPB designed a rule to limit debt trap payday loans. The rule, issued in 2017 and slated to take effect in 2019, would prohibit payday lenders from making more than six loans a year to a borrower without assessing the borrower’s ability to repay the loans, similar to the way credit card companies do. But under the leadership of Kraninger, the bureau has proposed to largely repeal the common-sense rule imposing limits on payday lenders that entrap borrowers in unaffordable loans.
A laska V oices J ames J. D avis , J r . According to a report from the Center for Responsible Lending, Alaskans pay $6 million each year in fees and interest on payday loans, with annual percentage rates as high as 435 percent. Instead of being pumped back into our local economy, each year $6 million, taken from the most vulnerable low-income Alaskans, goes to outside corporations like Money Mart, a payday lender issuing loans in Anchorage while operating out of Victoria, Canada. Over 80 percent of payday loans are either rolled over into a new loan to cover the previous one or are renewed within 14 days of repayment. Half of all payday loans are part of a sequence of 10 loans or more. These second, third and fourth loans come with new fees and push borrowers into a debt trap. It’s no wonder why predatory payday lenders pre-
fer borrowers who will struggle to repay their loans. It is this long debt trap that the original CFPB rule is designed to prevent. The payday lending industry couldn’t be happier about efforts to weaken the rule. But the numbers don’t lie. Predatory loans are hurting Alaskans and we must not allow Wall Street and foreign bank-backed payday lenders to get the last word. The public has until mid-May to tell the CFPB what we think. Representing the best interest of all Alaskans, with our financial wellbeing top of mind, U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, and U.S. Rep. Don Young must join Alaskans in calling on Kraninger to give teeth to the final payday rule and include the ability-to-repay requirement. The CFPB must remain true to its consumer protection mission: protect Alaskans from predatory lenders, don’t protect a predatory industry’s huge profit margins. James J. Davis, Jr. lives in Anchorage and is a founding partner of Northern Justice Project, where he represents low-income Alaskans and Alaska’s tribes.

Pence announces new sanctions on Maduro By BEN FOX and JOSHUA GOODMAN Associated Press
BOGOTA, Colombia — The Trump administration on Monday announced new sanctions on allies of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro and financial assistance to his opponent Juan Guaido as an effort to deliver humanitarian aid to the economically devastated nation faltered amid strong resistance from security forces who remain loyal to the socialist leader. Vice President Mike Pence arrived in the Colombian capital for an emergency summit of regional leaders to discuss Venezuela’s crisis and immediately met with Guaido. In a speech to the group, Pence urged regional partners to freeze oil assets controlled by Maduro, transfer the proceeds to Guaido and restrict visas for Maduro’s inner circle. He said the U.S. was imposing more sanctions on four governors aligned with Maduro, including the Venezuelan politician who negotiated the release of a Utah man held in jail more than two years on what were seen
as trumped-up weapons charges. He also repeated President Donald Trump’s threat that “all options are on the table” — fiery language that Guaido himself has adopted in what many see as a dangerous escalation of rhetoric hinting at the use of military force. “It’s time to do more,” said Pence. “The day is coming soon when Venezuela’s long nightmare will end, when Venezuela will once more be free, when her people will see a new birth of freedom, in a nation reborn to libertad.” Pence’s appearance before the Lima Group — a 14-nation coalition of mostly conservative Latin American nations and Canada that has joined together to pressure Maduro — comes two days after a U.S.-backed effort to deliver humanitarian across the border from Colombia ended in violence over the weekend. Forces loyal to Maduro fired tear gas and buckshot on activists accompanying the supplies and set the material on fire. Four people have been reported killed

and at least 300 wounded, although only a few were hospitalized. For weeks, the U.S. and regional allies had been amassing emergency food and medical kits on Venezuela’s borders in anticipation of carrying out a “humanitarian avalanche” by land and sea to undermine Maduro’s rule. Guaido, who has been recognized as interim president by the U.S. and 50 other governments who say Maduro’s re-election last year was illegitimate, called
on foreign ministers to step up and do more to isolate Maduro. “Being permissive with the usurpation of power would be a threat to democracy in all of America,” he said. But he stopped short of publicly asking them to authorize the use of military force to remove Maduro, as a close ally, Julio Borges, the opposition ambassador to the Lima Group, suggested on Sunday. U.S. officials have also avoided talk of military action.
Authorities: Kraft visited parlor for sex on day of AFC game By TERRY SPENCER Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft visited a Florida massage parlor for sex acts the night before and the morning of last month’s AFC championship game, authorities said Monday in documents charging him with two misdemeanor counts of soliciting prostitution. Kraft is one of hundreds of men charged in recent days as part of a crackdown on prostitution allegedly occurring in massage parlors between Palm Beach and Orlando. Ten spas have been closed and several people, most of them women originally from China, have been charged with running the operation. The 77-year-old Kraft was chauffeured to the Orchids of Asia Day Spa in a 2014 white Bentley on the evening of Jan. 19, where police say they videotaped him engaging in a sex act and then handing over an undetermined amount of cash, Jupiter, Florida, police said in charging documents released by the Palm Beach State Attorney’s Office. Investigators said Kraft returned 17 hours later,

arriving at the upper-middle class shopping center where the spa was located in a chauffeured 2015 blue Bentley, the documents said. Kraft, who is worth $6 billion, was videotaped engaging in sex acts before paying with a $100 bill and another bill, police said. He then flew to Kansas City to watch his Patriots defeat the Chiefs in overtime hours later. Kraft, whose team won the Super Bowl earlier this month in Atlanta, denied wrongdoing Friday, shortly after Jupiter police announced he was being
charged. The NFL said Monday in a statement that its personal conduct policy “applies equally to everyone in the NFL” and it will handle “this allegation in the same way we would handle any issue under the policy.” Kraft’s wife, Myra Hiatt Kraft, died in 2011. He has been dating 39-year-old actress Ricki Noel Lander since 2012. Another high-profile businessman, former Citigroup President John Havens, 62, is also charged with paying for sex at the Orchids of Asia spa. He too
has denied wrongdoing. He was Citigroup president in 2011 and 2012. He now runs a hedge fund that was spun off from Citigroup. Twenty-three other men are also charged in Palm Beach County, with others charged in a string of counties spanning more than 150 miles (240 kilometers). Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg said Kraft will be issued a summons that is similar to a traffic ticket and assigned a day to appear in court. Most people charged for the first time with soliciting are eligible for a diversion program where they pay a fine, perform 100 hours of community service and attend a class where they learn about the dangers of prostitution and how it is often tied to human trafficking. Fines can be up to $5,000. Authorities investigated the parlors for months, gathering evidence through observation, interviews with men stopped leaving the spas, trash bin searches and surveillance of their owners. Judges then issued warrants allowing them to secretly install cameras inside the spas to record what transpired.
R. Kelly leaves jail after posting $100K in sex abuse case By DON BABWIN and MICHAEL TARM Associated Press
CHICAGO — R. Kelly walked out of a Chicago jail Monday after posting $100,000 bail that allows him to go free while awaiting trial on charges that he sexually abused four people dating back to 1998, including three underage girls. Hours earlier, the R&B star pleaded not guilty to the allegations after spending the weekend behind bars. He said little during the brief arraignment, telling the judge only his name. His lawyers spoke on his behalf. The singer-songwriter was arrested Friday on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse. A judge set bond at $1 million, meaning Kelly had to post 10 percent of that amount to be released. He will be forbidden from having any contact with females younger than 18. The recording artist has been trailed for decades by allegations that he violated underage girls and women and held some as virtual slaves. Kelly has consistently denied any sexual misconduct, and he was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008.
Attorney Michael Avenatti, who said he represents two Kelly accusers, said his legal team gave prosecutors a second video Monday that shows Kelly sexually abusing a minor. Avenatti previously gave prosecutors video evidence that he said showed Kelly having sex with an underage girl. Avenatti said the second video involves a 14-yearold girl. He said the footage from 1999 or 2000 is about 55 minutes long, but he did not say if it was the same 14-year-old girl seen in the first video he turned over to the authorities. “The conduct in the tape can be described as nothing short of outrageous, illegal. It leaves no question as to Mr. Kelly’s guilt,” Avenatti said. Avenatti said he is aware of a third tape, but he did not provide details. Defense attorney Steve Greenberg reiterated at a news conference that Kelly has done nothing wrong and said no one has shown him any evidence to the contrary. “Everybody is entitled to a defense. Everybody is entitled to the presumption of innocence. We should all be taking a step back. Let’s see

what happens, what the evidence is and how this plays out,” Greenberg said. Details of the allegations against Kelly emerged Saturday when the prosecution released four detailed documents — one for each accuser — outlining the basis for the charges. The allegations date back as far as 1998 and span more than a decade. A girl who attended Kelly’s child pornography trial in 2008 got his autograph after a court session. He later invited her to his home in the Chicago suburb of Olympia Fields, where they had sex multiple times starting the following May, when she was 16, accord-
ing to the documents, which said he also slapped, choked and spit on the girl. In 1998, another girl reported meeting Kelly at a restaurant where she was having a 16th birthday party. Kelly’s manager gave her the singer’s business card and suggested she call Kelly. The girl’s mother heard the exchange, took the card and told the manager her daughter was 16. But her daughter later retrieved the card from her purse. She contacted Kelly, who told her to take a cab to his studio, where they had sex periodically for a year, the documents said. After the first encounter, she was given an envelope of cash.
TEHRAN, Iran — As Iran marked the 40th anniversary of its Islamic Revolution, a white-turbaned Shiite cleric at one commemoration targeted President Hassan Rouhani, a fellow clergyman, with this sign: “You who are the cause of inflation we hope you won’t last until spring.” Already lashed by criticism over his collapsing nuclear deal and renewed tensions with the U.S., the relatively moderate Rouhani faces anger from clerics, hard-line forces and an ever-growing disaffected public that now threatens his position. Iranian presidents typically see their popularity erode during their second four-year terms, but analysts say Rouhani is particularly vulnerable because of the economic crisis assailing the country’s rial currency, which has hurt ordinary Iranians and emboldened critics to openly call for his ouster. Though such a move only has happened once in the Islamic Republic’s four-decade history, the popular discontent heard on streets throughout Iran now could make it possible. “I don’t care who is in the presidential palace: a cleric, a general or anybody else,” said Qassim Abhari, who sells hats and socks on the streets of Tehran. “We need someone who creates jobs and firmly pushes the brake pedal on rising prices.” It’s been a long fall for Rouhani, who secured the 2015 nuclear deal after two years in office and won the praise of Iranians, who flooded the streets to celebrate it. Under the deal, Iran limited its enrichment of uranium in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. But the benefits of the deal never reached much of the Iranian public. Even before President Donald Trump pulled America from the accord in May, uncertainty over its future caused the rial to crater, fueling sporadic, nationwide protests. Now the rial is dropping again, down to 133,000 to $1. It had been 32,000 to the dollar at the time of the deal. On social media, hard-liners share price lists showing food staples like beans, rice and tomato paste rising as much as 238 per cent. Hard-liners stopped parliament speaker Ali Larijani, an ally of Rouhani, from addressing a crowd in Karaj, only 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Tehran. Rouhani’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, typically collected, appeared visibly frustrated at times during a recent security conference in Munich. Hassan Abbasi, a retired general in Iran’s hardline Revolutionary Guard, which answers to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, gave a speech after Karaj saying he believed people will spit on Rouhani, Larijani and Zarif in the streets over the nuclear deal after they leave office. He said they are “shivering” over the accord’s collapse. “Mr. Hassan Rouhani, Mr. Zarif and Mr. Larijani, go to hell,” Abbasi said to applause. Tension between hard-liners and more-moderate forces within Iran are nothing new. The Islamic Republic’s political structure muddles who wields power between paramilitary forces within the Guard and the country’s civilian government. Reformist President Mohammad Khatami faced similar pressures in his second term, which then gave way to hard-line populist President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. But Khatami didn’t face the same grinding economic pressure, or an American president like Donald Trump, whose administration has taken a maximalist approach toward pressuring Tehran. Analysts say that only further weakens Rouhani’s hand. “You, Mr. President, have only 15 to 20 per cent of the power” within Iran’s government, the pro-Rouhani daily newspaper Jomhouri Eslami said in a January editorial. “You cannot run the country with this amount of power and be accountable for all its difficulties and problems.” Rouhani himself seemed to acknowledge the pressure he faces during a visit to the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas on Monday.
Nigerian president takes early lead amid vote-rigging charge KANO, Nigeria — Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari surged to an early lead in election returns Monday, winning seven of 36 states in Africa’s largest democracy, while the main opposition rejected the count, alleging manipulation. Election observers said the last-minute postponement of the vote until Saturday discouraged some Nigerians from going to the polls as Buhari seeks a second term heading a country troubled by corruption, insecurity and a weak economy. Buhari, a former military dictator from the north, faced a strong challenge from top opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and businessman, in a race many saw as too close to call. As of midnight, Abubakar had won three southern states and the territory that includes the capital, Abuja. Buhari led by more than 450,000 votes overall. Abubakar’s party chairman, Uche Secondus, accused ruling party agents of hacking into the electoral commission’s computer server and manipulating results. He rejected the count as “incorrect, thus unacceptable.” The ruling party dismissed the claim and accused Abubakar’s party of trying to discredit the election. Spokesman Festus Keyamo urged the opposition not to “derail us to the dark past with its childish antics.” Final results are expected on Tuesday or Wednesday. African Union observers called the political climate “largely peaceful and conducive for the conducting of credible elections” but urged the country of some 190 million people to remain calm. A Nigerian civil society platform, the Situation Room, noted “major logistic lapses” in the vote. The election was a step back from 2015, praised as one of Nigeria’s most transparent and efficient votes, the group said. At least 39 people were killed in voting-related violence over the weekend. Election observers organized by the Commonwealth, of which Nigeria is a member, called that “deeply troubling,” saying Africa’s largest democracy can do better. — The Associated Press

Harden’s streak ends, but Rockets win By The Associated Press
HOUSTON — James Harden scored 28 points, ending his 32-game streak with at least 30, and the Houston Rockets beat the Atlanta Hawks 119-111 on Monday night. Houston overcame a career-high eight 3-pointers from Hawks rookie Trae Young, who put up 36 points. Harden returned after missing Saturday’s win over Golden State with a neck injury. His run of games with 30 or more points was the second-longest in NBA history behind a 65-game streak by Wilt Chamberlain. SUNS 124, HEAT 121 MIAMI — Devin Booker scored 20 points to lead seven Phoenix players in double figures, and the Suns snapped a club-record 17-game losing streak. Former Heat guard Tyler Johnson scored 18 points for Phoenix. Jamal Crawford and Kelly Oubre Jr. each had 16 and were huge down the stretch for Phoenix, which scored 40 points in the fourth quarter. Deandre Ayton and Troy Daniels each had 14, and Josh Jackson scored 11 for the Suns.
WARRIORS 121, HORNETS 110 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Klay Thompson scored 26
points, DeMarcus Cousins had 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Golden State dealt Charlotte its second straight loss. The Warriors took a 1½game lead over the Denver Nuggets in the race for the best record in the Western Conference. Golden State dropped its previous game, a home loss against Houston on Saturday night.
NETS 101, SPURS 85 NEW YORK — D’Angelo Russell had 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, and Brooklyn forced San Antonio into perhaps its worst offensive performance of the season. A night after their defense was absent in a loss to the Knicks, the Spurs couldn’t get their offense going. San Antonio was held to its lowest point total of the season, and the NBA’s leading 3-point shooting team at 40 percent was a season-worst 16.7 percent behind the arc.

TRAIL BLAZERS 123, CAVALIERS 110 CLEVELAND — CJ McCollum scored 35 points and Portland hung on after nearly squandering a 23-point halftime lead. The Blazers needed a 14-0 run late in the fourth quarter to put the game away. Cleveland cut the lead to 88-84 going into the fourth and was behind 105-102 with 4:42 left, but Portland’s backcourt duo of McCollum and Damian Lillard took over from there.

Ref didn’t mean to show favoritism KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Southeastern Conference referee Anthony Jordan has told the league he didn’t mean to show favoritism toward any particular school when he posed for a picture holding an LSU T-shirt five years ago while traveling abroad. The photograph circulated on social media among disgruntled Tennessee fans after LSU beat the Volunteers 82-80 on a pair of free throws following a decisive foul call with six-tenths of a second remaining in overtime on Saturday. Jordan was a referee in that game. “Jordan has officiated at a high level in the SEC for 19 years, including 11 assignments in NCAA postseason tournaments,” the SEC said Monday in a statement. “We do not find this social media post to be acceptable with our expectations and will proceed accordingly, while also acknowledging Mr. Jordan has a lengthy track record as a fair and impartial basketball official.” The SEC said in its statement that Jordan intended “to make a light-hearted social media post about having seen the T-shirt in another country and not to express affinity for a particular school.” Jordan posed for the picture while visiting Spain.

New NASCAR rules package gets passing grade
T
he verdict is still out on NASCAR’s new competition package following its innocuous debut at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The race was not the best in NASCAR history, nor was it unwatchable. It was, if nothing else, better than last year’s race at Atlanta and that is a win for NASCAR right now. Series officials finally conceded last season that the on-track product was failing to attract new fans and needed an overhaul. The result was a package that reduced horsepower and increased downforce, efforts to bring the cars closer together and present more passing opportunities. What that actually meant on the track was a mystery before Sunday’s race at Atlanta, won by Brad Keselowski following his brief bout with a stomach virus. The trouble with the debut is that Atlanta is unlike any other intermediate track in NASCAR
and the asphalt on the 1.54-mile quad-oval is the oldest in the series. The track is rough and bumpy, passing is always difficult and the racing is not likely to be replicated again this season. So Atlanta was really just a sneak peek of what NASCAR hopes will dramatically improve over its upcoming three-week West Coast swing. “I’d have to say a solid B. No one gets an A on their first exam, I don’t think,” winning team owner Roger Penske said. From his vantage point high above the track on the spotter stand, Penske said, he twice watched Joey Logano pick his way through traffic to the front of the pack. He saw drivers using the preferred top lane slip to the bottom going into Turn 2 and stay there down the straightaway, and the cars generally just seemed under control. “You didn’t see any accidents, which maybe the fans like that,
I n T he P its J enna F ryer but I thought overall the package showed well,” Penske said. “It wasn’t a crash-fest, which everybody said it was going to be potentially. It looks like there’s a lot of equal cars running out there. It’s going to come up to the drivers and the strategy, which is what we want.” The Atlanta race was better than it had been the last several years because the leader did not pull out to an enormous and uncatchable gap. The 25 lead changes were more than the last three Atlanta races and Martin Truex Jr. was in a legitimate chase for the lead in the closing laps. Truex lost to Keselowski by 0.21 of a second, but even Keselowski admitted he wouldn’t have
been able to hold off Truex if the race had been any longer. Restarts bunched the field and led to drivers fanning out threeand four-wide as they jockeyed for position. Eventually they ended up in a single-file line, as is the norm at Atlanta and many other intermediate tracks, but Kyle Larson and Kevin Harvick managed to trade the lead several times in a spirited battle at the midway point of the race. NASCAR was pleased with Sunday’s show. Chief racing development offer Steve O’Donnell declared it a “a fairly entertaining race.” But everyone understood that this weekend’s race at Las Vegas will be a closer indicator of how the racing will be this year. “When you looked at this race going in, I think for us, this was the biggest question mark as to how it would play out,” O’Donnell said. “Ultimately, we wanted cars to run closer together,
we wanted a battle to play out for the lead at times, which we saw during the race. Some things certainly to work on, but ultimately I think it was the direction where we wanted to go.” NASCAR will use a complete version of the rules package in Las Vegas, where featured aero ducts will likely encourage drafting. It could make Las Vegas look a bit like the crash-filled Daytona 500, where pack racing leads to spectacular multi-car accidents that always change the dynamic of a race. Teams won’t have a clear idea for weeks on how to attack this rules package because the next three races are at wildly different venues that present their own challenges. Drivers are adapting to different handling and lower horsepower while crew chiefs are tinkering with setups. NASCAR remains optimistic the fans will be the ultimate winners.
Lightning top Kings for 9th straight victory By The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos and Victor Hedman scored in the shootout and the NHL-leading Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 for their ninth straight victory Monday night, matching the longest winning streak in franchise history. J.T. Miller’s third-period goal forced overtime, and Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 30 shots for the Lightning, who improved the league’s best record to 48-11-4 and became the fourth team to reach 100 points in 63 games or less. Braden Point and Anthony Cirelli had first-period goals for the Lightning, who fell behind when Brodzinski and Wagner scored in a 36-second span. Miller countered less than a minute later to make it 3-all. Kucherov got his 71st assist on Tampa Bay’s first goal, giving him a leagueleading and career-best 101
points. PREDATORS 3, OILERS 2 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Brian Boyle scored in the fourth round of a shootout to lift Nashville over Edmonton. P.K. Subban had a goal and an assist, and Colton Sissons also scored as the Predators won for the third time in four games to pass Winnipeg for first place in the Central Division. The Jets have three games in hand. Pekka Rinne made a pad save on Ty Rattie when the Oilers forward tried to extend the shootout. Leon Draisaitl scored twice for Edmonton, which won its previous two games.
MAPLE LEAFS 5, SABRES 3 TORONTO — John Tavares, Auston Matthews and Frederik Gauthier scored three quick goals in the second period and Toronto held off Buffalo. Tyler Ennis had the eventual winner in Toronto’s four-goal
second and Kasperi Kapanen added some insurance with a short-handed goal in the third. Matthews is the first player in Maple Leafs history to score 30-plus goals in the first three seasons of his NHL career. Frederik Andersen made 31 saves for his 100th win with Toronto.
DEVILS 2, CANADIENS 1 NEWARK, N.J. — Nathan Bastian scored his first NHL goal, Kurtis Gabriel got his second and last-place New Jersey continued to be a thorn in Montreal’s playoff hopes. Recently acquired defenseman Connor Carrick set up both goals and Cory Schneider made 34 saves as the young Devils swept their three-game season series with the Canadiens. Montreal had a lot more at stake. It came into the night with a one-point lead over Carolina and Pittsburgh for the top wild card in the Eastern Conference. The Hurricanes and Penguins now each have a game in hand. Paul Byron scored a shorthanded goal for Montreal, and
Carey Price made 20 saves.
PANTHERS 4, AVALANCHE 3, OT DENVER — Derick Brassard was on the cusp of a storybook start with the Colorado Avalanche, until his former team wrecked the ending. Aaron Ekblad scored 26 seconds into overtime, Roberto Luongo stopped 36 shots to earn career win No. 485 and the Florida Panthers beat Colorado. The winning play was set up when Mike Hoffman sped down the ice after a faceoff, spun past defenseman Samuel Girard and sent a pass over to Ekblad, whose shot slid through the pads of Semyon Varlamov. Florida erased two deficits — including a 2-0 hole — to earn the victory. “I believe in the character and the heart in this room,” said Panthers coach Bob Boughner, whose team has won five of six. “We’re going to battle together right to the end. We sure did that tonight.” Brassard nearly had the winner in his Colorado debut on a goal with 12:11 remaining. But his ex-teammate,
Golden Knights go big at deadline By STEPHEN WHYNO AP Hockey Writer
The Vegas Golden Knights made another trade deadline splash to take another run at the Stanley Cup in their second season. Vegas acquired high-scoring winger Mark Stone from the Ottawa Senators on Monday for defense prospect Erik Brannstrom, forward Oscar Lindberg and the Dallas Stars’ 2020 second-round pick. Vegas also received minor league forward Tobias Lindberg in the trade. Stone is a top-line talent the Golden Knights hope can help them make another deep playoff run as they did last year in getting to the Cup Final. “He plays a complete game, plays every situation, and he’s going to really help our hockey club,” coach Gerard Gallant said. “He was the top guy on the board and we went out and got him, so it shows our players what we want to do and get things on track here and get going again.” Losing 10 of their past 13 games hurt the Golden Knights in a top-heavy Pacific Division, but Stone should provide an immediate boost. The 26-yearold has 28 goals and 34 assists for 62 points in 59 games this season, two points shy of his career high. Stone is in the midst of his fifth consecutive 20-goal and 50-point season.
“He’s been great for a lot of years now, it feels like,” Vegas center William Karlsson said. “Huge addition for our roster. The guy can pass, the guy can score, so he’s kind of the full package.” Stone said on Canadian television he agreed to but hadn’t yet signed a long-term contract extension, which general manager George McPhee said just needed to get a few things buttoned up. But the trade was contingent on getting an extension done. “We would not have done a rental,” McPhee said. “Too much risk in that.” Vegas needed to improve its roster given all the other moves made by Western Conference contenders at the NHL’s trade deadline . The Jets acquired center Kevin Hayes from the Rangers, defenseman Nathan Beaulieu from the Sabres and depth forward Matt Hendricks from the Wild, while the Predators acquired winger Wayne Simmonds from the Flyers and Mikael Granlund from the Wild. After trading a first-, a second- and a third-round pick at the 2018 deadline for winger Tomas Tatar, McPhee again anted up for a playoff push. Owner Bill Foley wanted his franchise to win a title within the first five years, and this is another move to help that effort in the short and long term. “They want to be an aggressive ownership group and make us the best team possible: trade deadline last year,
offseason this summer and now the deadline today,” winger Reilly Smith said. “They’re always trying to pretty much take the biggest names off the board. Hopefully it helps us.” All it cost Vegas off its NHL roster is Oscar Lindberg, a 27-year-old who has 12 points in 35 games this season. The team took him from the New York Rangers in the expansion draft, drafted Brannstrom in 2017 with the pick it received from the Islanders to take Mikhail Grabovski’s contract off their hands and got the second-rounder from Dallas for Marc Methot, whom they selected from the Senators in the expansion draft. The Golden Knights’ brass looks at its blueprint each day to stay on course with past, present and future goals. “It’s a good reminder to read it over and have everyone look at it and talk about where we’re trying to go and what we’re trying to accomplish,” McPhee said. “And this fit.” Ottawa GM Pierre Dorion called Brannstrom “the top defense prospect in the game” and a dynamic talent who will be a major part of his team’s future. That’s a future that won’t include Stone, who turned down offers to stay with the Senators long term. “We made every effort to sign Mark Stone, who was a fine player and great person for our organization,” Dorion said. “Mark will be missed.”
No. 15 Kansas stops No. 16 Kansas St. By The Associated Press
LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas got exactly what it needed after a humiliating loss at Texas Tech when the schedule produced a highprofile showdown with Big 12-leading Kansas State inside raucous Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks took advantage of the opportunity, too. Playing with a newfound sense of urgency, Dedric Lawson and the rest of the Jayhawks roared to a 64-49 victory over their biggest rival Monday night, flushing the memory of that lopsided loss to the Red Raid-
ers while keeping alive their hopes of a 15th consecutive conference championship. “It’s just handling business,” said Lawson, whose 18 points and 14 rebounds likely cemented his frontrunner status as the league’s player of the year. “We take that approach and build off the energy we had,” Lawson said, “we’re going to be great.” Devon Dotson added 16 points and fellow freshman Quentin Grimes had 12 for the Jayhawks (21-7, 10-5), who moved within a game of the Wildcats (21-7, 11-4) with three to play. Texas Tech, which has
played one less game, is a half-game back in second place. “If you get beat the way we got beat Saturday,” Jayhawks coach Bill Self said, “it’s bad in some ways that we played so quick but it’s also good in some ways that you have a way to redeem yourself a little bit. So yeah, it was a good way to bounce back.” There was clearly a sense of desperation inside the Phog, where Kansas — despite all the injuries and unrest this season — had not lost in 19 games. And it manifested itself in the kind of cutthroat D that has
become a hallmark of Self’s teams over the years. NO. 18 FLORIDA STATE 68, NOTRE DAME 61 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Freshman Devin Vassell scored 13 points, sparking Florida State’s second-half charge with a dunk and a 3-pointer on consecutive possessions, and the Seminoles held off Notre Dame. Trent Forrest made 4 of 6 six free-throw attempts in the final minute to help the Seminoles (22-6, 10-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) hang on. D.J. Harvey scored 18 points and Prentiss Hubb had 17 for Notre Dame (13-15, 3-12), which has dropped four straight games.
Hoffman, stole his thunder by tying it minutes later. It was a wild day for Brassard, who woke up Monday morning as a member of the Panthers only to be traded to the Avalanche. He was acquired along with a conditional sixthround draft pick from Florida for a 2020 third-round selection. Brassard played in 10 games with the Panthers after being acquired from Pittsburgh earlier in the month.
CANUCKS 4, DUCKS 0 VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Jacob Markstrom made 29 saves for his first shutout of the season and Bo Horvat scored twice, leading the Vancouver Canucks to a 4-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night. Alex Biega and Nikolay Goldobin also scored as the Canucks snapped a three-game skid and won in regulation for the first time in their last 11. The shutout was the third of Markstrom’s career. His previous one came against Dallas on Feb. 11, 2018. Kevin Boyle stopped 25 shots for the Ducks. One of Markstrom’s biggest
saves came with nine minutes to go, when Derek Grant found the puck down low and Markstrom dove to make the stop. Horvat’s second goal of the night came midway through the third period after he dove to keep the puck in Anaheim’s end. Josh Leivo got it back to Horvat in the faceoff circle and he sent a rocket past Boyle to make it 4-0. The 23-year-old center has a career-high 23 goals this season. Goldobin opened the scoring 8:04 into the first after star rookie Elias Pettersson sliced a cross-ice pass to him in the neutral zone. The right wing ripped a shot over Boyle’s shoulder for his eighth goal of the season and first in nine games. Biega added another goal before the end of the period with a long shot that somehow wound its way through traffic and slid in under Boyle’s pad. Early in the second, Anaheim’s Brendan Guhle was sent to the penalty box for leveling Tyler Motte along the boards and the Canucks capitalized on the power play. Brock Boeser made a nifty pass to Horvat below the goal line and he poked it in to put Vancouver up 3-0.
Today in History Today is Tuesday, Feb. 26, the 57th day of 2019. There are 308 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 26, 1904, the United States and Panama proclaimed a treaty under which the U.S. agreed to undertake efforts to build a ship canal across the Panama isthmus. On this date: In 1616, astronomer Galileo Galilei met with a Roman Inquisition official, Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, who ordered him to abandon the “heretical” concept of heliocentrism, which held that the earth revolved around the sun, instead of the other way around. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte escaped from exile on the Island of Elba and headed back to France in a bid to regain power. In 1829, Levi Strauss, whose company manufactured the first blue jeans, was born in Buttenheim, Bavaria, Germany. In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional act establishing Mount McKinley National Park (now Denali National Park) in the Alaska Territory. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional act establishing Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. In 1929, President Calvin Coolidge signed a measure establishing Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. In 1952, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that Britain had developed its own atomic bomb. In 1984, the last U.S. Marines deployed to Beirut as part of an international peacekeeping force withdrew from the Lebanese capital. In 1987, the Tower Commission, which probed the Iran-Contra affair, issued a report rebuking President Ronald Reagan for failing to control his national security staff. In 1993, a truck bomb built by Islamic extremists exploded in the parking garage of the North Tower of New York’s World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000 others. (The bomb failed to topple the North Tower into the South Tower, as the terrorists had hoped; both structures were destroyed in the 9/11 attack eight years later.) In 1994, a jury in San Antonio acquitted eleven followers of David Koresh of murder, rejecting claims they’d ambushed federal agents; five were convicted of voluntary manslaughter. In 1998, a jury in Amarillo, Texas, rejected an $11 million lawsuit brought by Texas cattlemen who blamed Oprah Winfrey’s talk show for a price fall after a segment on food safety that included a discussion about mad cow disease. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama laid out his first budget plan, predicting a federal deficit of $1.75 trillion. General Motors Corp. posted a $9.6 billion loss for the fourth quarter of 2008. The Pentagon, reversing an 18-year-old policy, said it would allow some media coverage of returning war dead, with family approval. Five years ago: President Barack Obama, speaking in St. Paul, Minnesota, said he would ask Congress for $300 billion to update aging roads and railways. Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill pushed by social conservatives that would have allowed people with sincerely held religious beliefs to refuse to serve gays. One year ago: President Donald Trump, who had been highly critical of the law enforcement response to the Florida school shooting, told a roomful of governors at the White House that if he had been there, he would have rushed in, unarmed. A lawyer for former Broward County Sheriff’s deputy Scot Peterson rejected accusations that Peterson had been cowardly during the school shooting; he said Peterson hadn’t gone inside the school because it sounded like the shooting was happening outside the building. Thousands of people from all walks of life, including former President George W. Bush and his wife, filed slowly past the casket of the Rev. Billy Graham in Charlotte, North Carolina. Today’s Birthdays: Game show host Tom Kennedy is 92. Country-rock musician Paul Cotton (Poco) is 76. Actor-director Bill Duke is 76. Singer Mitch Ryder is 74. Actress Marta Kristen (TV: “Lost in Space”) is 74. Rock musician Jonathan Cain (Journey) is 69. Singer Michael Bolton is 66.

Dad with baby daughter gets questioned by security guards did not invite her. I have forgiven my mother for the crappy environment she created for us while I was growing up. I always invite her to family gatherings although she remains demeaning, demoralizing and bitter. My mother can last about an hour in my company Abigail Van Buren without saying something negative and snarky, and I don’t want her to ruin this fun occasion. She knows how I feel about her attitude around me. I don’t call or talk to her unless there is a family emergency. I normally grin and bear it on holidays for my sister’s sake. My sister has a mental illness, and our mom is an almost daily presence in her life, which I appreciate, as I live in another state. Must I suck it up again for my sister’s sake? -- GETTING MARRIED IN MINNESOTA DEAR GETTING MARRIED: Permit your mother to be present for the first fitting. If, as you predict, she becomes negative and snarky, concentrate on the fitting, then
inform her -- and your sister afterward -that she will not be welcome to join you for another one. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 23-year-old senior in college. I came out as gay at 21, but still haven’t found a boyfriend. I had a crush on one guy and thought he liked me back, but a few weeks ago he told me he has a boyfriend. I was heartbroken. People have always told me it’s great to be single, but the truth is I’m just not happy. I’m lonely and I want a boyfriend. I’m having no luck, and I don’t know what to do. Help, please. -- SO READY IN TEXAS DEAR SO READY: Look around and scope out what opportunities there are for an LGBTQ person in your college town. Get out and be sociable. Join an activity group if you have the time. If nothing suits you, go online and research dating sites and apps. However, if you don’t find someone there, you may have to be patient for another year until you can move to a community that offers greater options. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2019: This year your intuition comes forth. You tend to experiment more to discover what lifestyle feels right. You know what works for you. If possible, do not surprise others by making dramatic changes. If single, you could meet someone who intrigues you. You might not want to commit quickly. Get to know your sweetie. Trust SCORPIO to understand you. If attached, your multifaceted personality and an intensity can cause rifts if you do not indulge and understand your sweetie.

BOOK ‘EM Dear Heloise: After the holidays, I cut the pretty scenes from cards I have received to use as bookmarks. Birthday cards and other greeting cards can be used likewise, and I can continue to enjoy the cards; they take on a useful purpose. -- Joan U. in Houston EXPERIENCED WORKERS Dear Heloise: I work for one of the larger retailers, and we love to hire senior citizens. They are dependable, eager and hard-working. I recommend older folks try getting out, staying active and seeing people in the community. Retail is a gateway to do all of that. Shifts can be as few as four hours per day at my store. -- Janet T. in San Antonio HINT FROM HIM Dear Heloise: Most credit cards today have a red edge - makes it easier to select. My ATM/debit card has a white edge. I took a blue marker and put blue spots on the top and bottom edge -- white-blue-white, etc. Now it’s much easier to find. -- Bruce Z., Cerritos, Calif. AFFECT OR EFFECT? Dear Readers: What’s the difference between “affect” and “effect”? Don’t get confused. “Affect” is a verb: “Will the snowstorm affect the start of school?” “Effect” is a noun: “The effect of the big snowstorm overnight? School will start two hours later.” -- Heloise P.S. “Affect” can be used as a noun in a clinical sense: an emotion, or lack thereof, you are showing.

DEAR ABBY: I am a working stay-at-home mom with a successful career. I am also the primary breadwinner. My husband doesn’t work so he can take care of our baby girl full time. To give me quiet time, my husband often takes her to the mall or someplace fun so I can concentrate. A problem has arisen, though. Since he’s alone with our daughter, he’s run into problems with security guards who think he’s kidnapping her or doing something suspicious. We’re not sure what to do about this. I obviously don’t want there to be problems for him, especially since I am not physically able to drive and come to meet him if there’s a misunderstanding. Can you tell me the most reliable way to prove that he’s our daughter’s father and holds no nefarious intent? -- CONCERNED WIFE AND MAMA DEAR CONCERNED W&M: While this scenario seems incredible to me, if he isn’t already doing so, your husband should start carrying family pictures of the two of you and your daughter when he takes her out. That way, if there is any question that your husband is her father, it can be quickly resolved. DEAR ABBY: My sister invited our mother, who is in her 70s, to my wedding dress fittings. I

Dog reunited with family 101 days after California wildfire The Associateed Press
PARADISE, Calif — A dog named Kingston is back with his family 101 days after he jumped out of their truck as they fled a devastating Northern California wildfire. The 12-year-old Akita was reunited Monday with the Ballejos family, who fled the town of Paradise late last year, Sacramento television station KXTV reported . “When I found out, (it) just about brought me to
tears,” said Gabriel Ballejos, Kingston’s owner. “I’m so proud of him. I can’t believe it. He’s a true survivor, and it’s a testament to the American spirit.” Ballejos said they never lost hope and kept posting flyers and contacting shelters. “Every night I would ask my dad and tell him that we needed to go look for him,” said Ballejos’ daughter, Maleah. The family got a call after animal rescue volunteer Ben Lepe trapped Kingston
on Sunday and took him to Friends of Camp Fire Cats, a local rescue group. The volunteers saw a missing dog message on Facebook and contacted the family. Lepe said the large dog had been spotted on surveillance cameras and that he set up a trap big enough for it on Saturday. “When I went to check it on Sunday, there he was,” Lepe said. “It was awesome to see him and know he would be fed and warm.” Family members believe Kingston survived by eating
skunks, because he hunted them before the fire and smelled of skunk when they picked him up. The town of Paradise was leveled by a Nov. 8 blaze that killed 85 people and destroyed nearly 15,000 homes in the area. Angel Herrera, of Friends of Camp Fire Cats, said the group has rescued more than 200 lost pets since the fire and still sets traps. “If we had the resources, we could trap 50 animals every single night,” she said.
