In the news State revises psychiatric hospital contract JUNEAU — The state plans to seek bids for the long-term operation of the Alaska Psychiatric Institute. State health commissioner Adam Crum says an agreement was reached with Wellpath Recovery Solutions to amend a February contract that included two phases. The first phase was to run through June and the second was to run for five years, starting in July. He says the revised contract extends the duration of the first phase to Dec. 31, 2019. He says Wellpath will provide services until then. The state says a service provider for the second phase would be determined through a process of seeking proposals. Crum says that’s intended to ensure trust in government, noting questions surrounding the initial contract. He says a feasibility study underway will inform the process for seeking proposals.

Coast Guard service members face drug charges KODIAK — Coast Guard service members face criminal drug charges in Alaska stemming from an internal investigation. The Kodiak Daily Mirror reported Monday that the investigation beginning in fall 2018 has produced charges of cocaine and marijuana distribution, possession and use. The Coast Guard did not identify those charged, but documents indicate they include eight aviation electrical technicians and aviation maintenance technicians at Base Kodiak, Air Station Kodiak and Air Station Barbers Point. The ninth is a seaman aboard Coast Guard Cutter Alex Haley. The Coast Guard announced in February it had initiated criminal proceedings against 12 service members. Three of those entered plea agreements earlier this month and no longer face criminal charges. The Coast Guard says 31 service members have faced punishment as a result of the ongoing investigation. — Associated Press

Farmers market season around the corner By VICTORIA PETERSEN Peninsula Clarion

In the next several weeks, farmers markets across the peninsula will be popping up with fresh local food. The Alaska Food Hub, an online farmers market with several pickup locations, will begin May 1 in Homer, May 15 in Soldotna and May 22 in Seldovia. The food hub runs until October. To see what’s available for order, residents can visit alaskafoodhub.org. The Kenai Peninsula Food Bank Farmers Market, which was formally the Farmers Fresh Market, will begin 3 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11.

Trump, business organization sue Democratic House chairman By ERIC TUCKER and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and his business organization sued the Democratic chairman of the House oversight committee on Monday to block a subpoena that seeks years of the president’s financial records. The complaint became the latest front in the intensifying battle between the president and the Democrats who control the House of Representatives and are committed to investigating Trump and his finances. The complaint, filed in federal court in Washington, said

Congress to try to stain the president’s standing. “Instead of working with the President to pass bipartisan legislation that would actually benefit Americans, House Democrats are singularly obsessed with finding something they can use to damage the President politically,” the lawsuit states.

Court of Appeals upholds sexual assault conviction By Michael Armstrong Homer News

The Alaska Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of a Fairbanks man who sexually assaulted a Homer woman in August 2011, but sent back to the Superior Court and

a three-judge sentencing pannel issues of sentencing. The man had appealed his case in 2015. The Court of Appeals discussed its findings in an opinion released on April 3. A jury in 2013 convicted Jeffery K. Holt, now 58, of one count of

first-degree sexual assault and four counts of second-degree sexual assault. A three-judge sentencing panel found Holt had “extraordinary potential for rehabilitation” and sentenced him to 21 years in jail with five years suspended on the first-degree

sexual assault conviction and four years with three years suspended for each of the second-degree sexual assault convictions, for a composite sentence of 28 years with eight years suspended or 20 years to serve. At trial, a jury found

Holt guilty of sexually assaulting a Homer woman at her home while she was incapacitated from drinking. The two had known each other from when she lived in Fairbanks. Holt had come to visit her in Homer while fishSee COURT, page A2

South Peninsula Hospital CEO Woodin resigns By Michael Armstrong Homer News

Just over a year as he came onboard as Chief Executive Officer for South Peninsula Hospital, Joe Woodin announced his resignation on Tuesday, April 16. In a press release from the hospital on Wednes-

day, Woodin cited “unanticipated circumstances that prevent him from remaining in the position.” The SPH Operating Board has appointed Noel Rea of NetworxHealth, a consulting division of Virginia Mason Medical Center, as the interim CEO effective immediately, according

to the press release. “South Peninsula Hospital is more than just a community hospital,” David Groesbeck, President of the Board of Directors, said in the press release. “It has grown quickly to become a regional medical center and leading employer in the community. Joe made great

progress on numerous priorities during a critical transition time for the organization, and we thank him for his service. We anticipate continued progress under the leadership of Mr. Rea, who brings expertise in working with rural, independent health care facilities in Alaska.”

Woodin was appointed by the SPH Operating Board in February 2018 to replace former CEO Bob Letson, who had been CEO for 10 years. Woodin started work in March 2018. He came to Homer from Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, Massachusetts, where he had See SPH, page A3

Thieves steal UAF trail US authorities: Marijuana involvement imperils citizenship maintenance equipment By ASTRID GALVAN Associated Press

PHOENIX — Immigration authorities on Friday said that anyone with any involvement with marijuana, regardless of whether it’s legal in the state where they live, can be denied citizenship because the drug is still illegal under federal law. The announcement comes weeks after offi-

cials in Colorado, where recreational marijuana is legal, began warning residents that working for a dispensary or manufacturing operation could jeopardize their citizenship bids — even if those jobs are state-sanctioned. The updated guidance from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services states that people who use marijuana or are involved with it in any way fail to

have “good moral character,” a prerequisite for people who have legal permanent residence to gain American citizenship. About two-thirds of states allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes, and 10 allow recreational use. Washington, D.C., also allows recreational use. “U.S. Citizenship and See POT, page A3

FAIRBANKS (AP) — Equipment value at thousands of dollars has been stolen from an Alaska university trail maintenance building, according to an employee. University of Alaska Fairbanks trail groomer Jason Garron reported the theft Wednesday on a social media page for the school’s north campus, The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Sunday. An unknown number

of thieves broke in through the back door of the building near Hess Village early Wednesday morning, Garron said. The theft included two generators, two chainsaws, a pole saw, working lights from a snowmachine, trail maintenance hand tools, and the keys to a university truck. The truck was also stolen but recovered at a lot near campus, Garron said. The stolen property’s See THEFT, page A3

ing. She considered him to be a friend, but had not expressed any interest in a sexual relationship, according to details of the case. Holt brought food and alcohol, and mixed the woman drinks, including one drink that she said had an odd color and tasted like cough syrup. After a series of sexual assaults, the woman got help when she texted “rape 911” to a friend who also lived in Homer, and the friend reported the incident to Alaska State Troopers. Troopers responded to the scene and Holt was charged in September 2011 with four counts of seconddegree sexual assault and one count of attempted second-degree sexual assault. A grand jury later indicted Holt with five counts of first-degree sexual assault. The Sexual Assault Response Team at South Peninsula Hospital, a team of nurses trained in forensic examination, looked at the victim and found she had bruises and abrasions on her body. Lab tests showed a blood-alcohol level of 0.155, almost twice the legal limit for driving under the influence, and the pres-

Cohen pleaded guilty last year to lying to Congress in 2017 about a real estate deal involving Trump in Moscow. “The Cohen hearing was a partisan stunt, not a goodfaith effort to obtain accurate testimony from a reliable witness,” the lawsuit says.

ence of Tylenol. The woman said she had not taken Tylenol. Holt appealed both the conviction and his sentencing. On the first-degree sexual assault conviction, Holt argued that there was insufficient evidence the sexual act was “without consent” or coerced. The Court of Appeals rejected that claim. On the second-degree assault convictions, Holt also argued there was a “fatal variance” between the indicted charges of first-degree sexual assault and his convictions for second-degree sexual assault. In legal terms, fatal variance occurs when there’s a difference between an indicted charge and the theory presented by the prosecution at trial, thus depriving a defendant of fair notice of the charges. However, the Court of Appeals ruled that Holt received proper notice of the state’s theory that it would attempt to prove he assaulted the woman under an incapacitation “without consent” theory. Holt also argued that some charges should merge together because the assaults happened close in time to each other. The court rejected that claim, saying each act of assault can be treated as a sepa-

rate incident if the kind of sexual act changed. The Court of Appeals did agree to send back to the Superior Court issues of sentencing. The court agreed with Holt that the trial court erred in making corrections to Holt’s presentence report. The state conceded this point. Holt also argued that his sentence was excessive. The Court of Appeals said the three-judge sentencing panel should reassess Holt’s case, but because that reassessment could result in a different sentence, did not address the excessive sentencing claim. The Court of Appeals also found that Holt’s sentence should be reassessed because the three-judge panel may have made an error because it gave Holt a 1-year sentence on each count of second-degree sexual assault, less than the minimum 2.5-year sentence required under the sentencing statute that applied to Holt. The state argued that this error could be fixed by adjusting which part of Holt’s sentence are consecutive — served one after another — and which are concurrent — served at the same time. On another issue, however, the Court of Appeals

said it had concerns about the three-judge panel’s sentencing analysis. The individual judge concluded that based on Holt’s potential for rehabilitation it would be “manifestly unjust” to sentence him to 20 years and four days, the minimum sentence under Alaska law. At the sentencing hearing, the victim asked that Holt be put away for “a very, very long time.” The three-judge panel agreed with the individual judge, but then sentenced Holt to a composite sentence of 20 years. “Moreover, the panel’s sentencing remarks gave no indication of why they did not further reduce Holt’s composite time to served based on their other findings,” Court of Appeals Judge Marjorie Allard wrote in the opinion. The Court of Appeals directed the three-judge panel to resentence Holt within 90 days. After that sentencing, the court also allowed Holt 30 days to notify it if he wished to renew his excessive sentence claim. According to online records, Holt is serving his sentence at Wildwood Correctional Center.

amounts to Trump — the leader of the executive branch of government — asking the judicial branch to stop the legislative branch from investigating his past. To do so would break decades of precedent, which established that the legislature’s investigative power is not limited to just researching possible legislation. The complaint also says the subpoena seeks to investigate events that occurred before Trump was president and “has no legitimate legislative purpose.” It says, “Democrats are using their new control of congressional committees to investigate every aspect of President Trump’s personal finances,

businesses, and even his family.” Jay Sekulow, one of Trump’s lawyers, said in a statement Monday that “we will not allow presidential harassment to go unanswered.” Neither the White House nor Trump Organization responded to requests for comment. The lawsuit comes amid a widespread effort by the White House and the president’s attorneys to refuse to cooperate with congressional requests for information and records. Earlier this month, the Treasury Department missed a deadline to hand over Trump’s tax returns to the House Ways and Means

Committee. A new deadline was set for Tuesday but there has been no indication that Trump’s team plans to cooperate. A White House spokesman referred requests for comment to one of the president’s personal attorneys, who did not immediately respond. And White House officials have refused to comply with other requests related to Trump’s actions as president. The administration, for instance, has also signaled it does not plan to turn over information being sought about how particular staffers, including senior aides like Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, received their security clearances.

What Others Say

A rebuke that shows facts still matter For the umpteenth time,

the facts didn’t matter to the members of the Trump administration. This time, a federal judge last week called them on it, resolutely. U.S. District Judge William Kuntz, of New York, blocked the Department of Homeland Security from deporting up to 60,000 Haitians in this country covered by Temporary Protected Status (TPS). In 2017, President Trump petulantly terminated TPS for Haitians and citizens of several other countries after reluctantly granting one final extension. TPS, created by Congress in 1990, protected them from deportation to countries in the throes of recovering from natural disasters or violent political turmoil. The ruling is the second shot across the administration’s bow in six months. In October, federal Judge Edward Chen, of the Northern District of California, ordered a temporary injunction that blocked citizens of Haiti, Sudan, Nicaragua and El Salvador from deportation. In the Haitians’ case, the Obama administration granted TPS to thousands after a 2010 earthquake devastated huge swaths of their country. Nine years out, Haiti has yet to fully recover. Factor in a cholera epidemic and Hurricane Matthew in 2016, and it’s obvious that the poorest nation in the hemisphere cannot absorb the thousands who would be forced to return. Obvious to most, of course, except the Trump administration. South Florida, naturally, would be hard hit if deportations occurred. There are about 24,000 Haitians with TPS in the region. They have gamely remade their lives, found jobs, gone to school, grown families and contributed financially and socially to the country that gave them a reprieve. After a three-day trial in Brooklyn, New York earlier this year, Kuntz found that, instead of basing its decision on conditions on the island, as required by law — woefully incomplete quake recovery, many thousands still homeless, exacerbated by Hurricane Matthew’s landfall, one of the worst storms ever to hit Haiti, a cholera epidemic, plus perpetual political instability — the White House unlawfully started with a pre-determined goal to terminate TPS, then worked backward to rationalize getting there. The suit, which included several plaintiffs from South Florida, contended that the administration’s decision is based on a “racially discriminatory attitude toward all brown and black people.” That’s a hard one to refute with a straight face. Trump officials intentionally ignored or misrepresented conditions on the ground in Haiti. Their contortions were obvious: looking for evidence of Haitian “criminality,” although criminals aren’t eligible for TPS; peddling the refuted stereotype that Haitians were AIDS carriers; referring last year to Haiti, among other nations, as “s---holes.” Career officials’ analyses were discarded. It was clear that Haitians already covered by TPS merited an extension based on how severe and recent the blows were that their country had sustained. Just the cholera epidemic alone, introduced by U.N. troops, had killed 10,000, sickened 800,000 and was still raging at the time of the administration’s cruel decision. The evidence of extraordinary conditions was overwhelming. But the administration moved the goalposts, maliciously and incorrectly saying that it could only consider post-quake recovery, not hurricane damage, not rampant disease. It’s true — “temporary” is part of the program’s name. But facts matter, and the Trump administration maliciously twisted them. Fortunately, the courts continue to get the facts straight. — The Miami Herald, April 14

Creative solutions to Dunleavy’s bold vision

It’s time for all Alaskans to unite behind the governor. Our bloated government has brought us the ferry system that serves coastal Alaska as the main means of transit. Due to the high costs of union labor, masters, mates, pilots, deck crews, stewards and skilled captains, not to mention the high cost of fuel, it has got to go. I believe it’s time for 30-foot-long oars to be fabricated by unemployed craftsmen, forestry workers and former ferry workers looking for gainful employment. For too long now, the old, young and pregnant women have been getting a stress-free ride between coastal cities. It’s time to save on fuel and put people who want to go through the Inside Passage behind the oars. Honest work to propel humanity forward. Manual crankshafts could also be connected to the props (reminiscent of the great Civil War). Remember the Tlingit and Russians traveled in much less stable craft with only modest loss of life. When the ferries are gone, creative solutions must be explored. Education has been another thorn in the flesh of the governor. Perhaps we should take a lesson from the past, from Abraham Lincoln, who used a piece of coal to do his studies on the blade of his shovel, within the famed log cabin in Illinois. We could expand upon the idea by using the coal as fuel in burn barrels, which

A laska V oices D avid J o P arish can be added to every classroom to provide much-needed heat when winter arrives. When our governor decides even the modest cost of coal is too high, class sizes could also be increased to 75. Body heat will keep the children warm in the coldest temperatures if they’re packed in tight enough. Teachers also need to step up to the plate and feed the children breakfast, lunch and dinner, including six bagged meals each for the weekends because the parents will be unemployed by the hundreds as Juneau’s economy collapses under the governor’s judicious cuts. Our elders are not forgotten in the governor’s bold vision for the state. For the sake of unity, our families must to stand together in ending the subsidized state shelter that their parents and grandparents have enjoyed in the Pioneer Homes. To reduce the extraordinary cost of nursing home care, free shuttles will be offered to anyone over 65 who has lost their capacity to pull their weight in this free society. This free transit will take them from their homes to rowboats, and then to

the calving glaciers where our beloved elders, sick of subsidized housing, will be assisted to hop off onto the ice. Their final moments can be spent in dignity, knowing they’re not incurring debt for future generations. As Alaskans, we are known to be resilient. So when our jobs vanish, our children’s educations are destroyed and our elders are priced out of needed care, will the next generation be dumbed down enough to be pawns to powerful entrenched, leaders who will have self-interest as their primary guiding star? The obscenely wealthy brothers are showing the way to Gov. Mike Dunleavy and President Donald Trump. Overt, blatant and unbridled violation of human rights has become the draconian standard that we all are required to submit to. Take affordable transportation from all of Southeast Alaska, take education from the children, take jobs from their parents and take housing from the poorest and least able, and our system of government with its socialist underpinnings will finally collapse. Get on the bandwagon before it’s too late for us; you might be one of the lemmings left standing with the shredded PFD and even fatter oil companies. The choice is easy, affordable and within easy reach. Stand for Alaska. Unite behind the governor and kick him out. David Jo Parish lives in Juneau.

Letter to the Editor Ghosts of legislatures past “We demand Trump’s tax returns along with the full Mueller report.” And the White House says, “not ever.” And there is nothing that the Legislature can do about it. Why? The answer is self-evident. The politicians in D.C. have spent nearly 200 years passing bills into law that contain built-in insurance policies for the protection of the very people that passed the bills in the first place.

Any bill passed by the U.S. Congress is impregnated with enough vagueness, loopholes, twisting of the English language and innuendo to make them unenforceable on their faces, which was the intent of the politicians who voted them into law. Just two of the demands made by the Legislature recently — asking for Trump’s tax returns and the full Mueller report — would take years of judicial review by the federal, district, appellate and the Su-

preme Court prior to any possibility of a ruling being made. And by that time there will have been another presidential election. And if not re-elected, Trump will have had ample time to take care of any dirty laundry that may have been laying about. And a distracted America can go back to living on the internet where they have resided for the past two decades. — John A. Anderson, Kenai

News and Politics

Trump threatens crackdown on high visa overstay countries By JILL COLVIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is considering suspending or limiting entry to the U.S. for individuals from countries with high rates of short-term visa overstays — a proposal vaguely reminiscent of the controversial travel bans President Donald Trump pursued during his first year in office. In a memo signed Monday, Trump directs officials to examine new ways to minimize the number of people overstaying their business and tourist visas as part of a renewed focus on immigration as the 2020 campaign kicks into high gear. And it says the adminis-

tration is considering developing "admission bonds" — people entering the country would pay a fee that would be reimbursed when they leave — in an effort to improve compliance. "We have laws that need to be followed to keep Americans safe and to protect the integrity of a system where, right now, there are millions of people who are waiting in line to come to America to seek the American Dream," Trump said in a statement. More people are in the U.S. because they overstay visas than because they cross the border illegally, according to the nonpartisan Center for Migration Studies. Some of the countries with high overstay rates include Chad, Djibouti, Er-

itrea, Liberia, the Solomon Islands, Benin and Burkina Faso. Officials say 20 countries have rates over 10 percent. The memo gives the secretaries of state and homeland security 120 days to come up with recommendations, including potentially limiting how long visas last. The idea of restricting travel from high overstay countries is part of a long list of proposals being tossed around by officials as they try to appease a president who has been seething over the influx of migrants at the border as he tries to make good on his 2016 campaign promises and energize his base going into 2020. The ideas have ranged from the extreme — including Trump's threat to com-

pletely shut down the southern border and resume the widely denounced practice of separating children from parents — to more subtle tweaks to the legal immigration system. Plans are also in the works to have border patrol agents, instead of asylum officers, conduct initial interviews to determine whether migrants seeking asylum have a "credible fear" of returning to their homelands. And the administration has been weighing targeting the remittance payments people living in the country illegally send home to their families and moving forward with plans to punish immigrants in the country legally for using public benefits, such as food stamps.

Nation/World Mexican police detain hundreds of Central American migrants By SONIA PÉREZ D. Associated Press

PIJIJIAPAN, Mexico — Mexican police and immigration agents detained hundreds of Central American migrants Monday in the largest single raid on a migrant caravan since the groups started moving through the country last year. Police targeted isolated groups at the tail end of a caravan of about 3,000 migrants who were making their way through the southern state of Chiapas with hopes of reaching the U.S. border. As migrants gathered under spots of shade in the burning heat outside the city of Pijijiapan, federal police and agents passed by in patrol trucks and vans and forcibly wrestled women, men and children into the vehicles. The migrants were driven to buses, presumably for subsequent transportation to an immigration station for deportation processing. As many as 500 migrants might have been picked up in the raid, according to Associated Press journalists at the scene.

Some of the women and children wailed and screamed during the detentions on the roadside. Clothes, shoes, suitcases and strollers littered the scene after they were taken away. Kevin Escobar, a 27-year-old from Honduras, was one of about 500 migrants who fled onto private property to avoid immigration agents. Sitting on the property, he yelled to them: “Why do you want to arrest me?” Escobar vowed that he will never return to his hometown of San Pedro Sula, saying “the gangs are kidnapping everyone back there.” Agents had encouraged groups of migrants that separated from the bulk of the caravan to rest after some seven hours on the road, including about half of that under a broiling sun. When the migrants regrouped to continue, they were detained. Agents positioned themselves at the head of the group and at the back. Some people in civilian clothing appeared to be participating in the detentions. After seeing what happened, some migrants

began walking in dense groupings and picked up stones and sticks. Officials from the National Human Rights Commission observed the action from a distance. “We are documenting what is happening,” said Jesús Salvador Quintana, a commission official. “We cannot tell authorities in charge what to do, but yes, we are documenting and we will investigate.” Mexico welcomed the first caravans last year, but the reception has gotten colder since tens of thousands of migrants overwhelmed U.S. border crossings, causing delays at the

border and anger among Mexican residents. Last Friday, local media reported a series of detentions of migrants in nearby Mapastepec, where thousands were awaiting normalization of their migratory status. Mexico’s National Migration Institute did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka’s president gave the military sweeping police powers starting Tuesday in the wake of the Easter bombings that killed nearly 300 people, while officials disclosed that intelligence agencies had warned weeks ago of the possibility of an attack by the radical Muslim group blamed for the bloodshed. The suicide bombings struck three churches and three luxury hotels Sunday in the island nation’s deadliest violence since a devastating civil war ended in 2009. The government shut down some social media, armed security forces patrolled the largely deserted, central streets in the capital of Colombo, and a curfew went into effect. The military was given a wider berth to detain and arrest suspects — powers that were used during the civil war but withdrawn when it ended. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said he

feared the massacre could unleash instability and he vowed to “vest all necessary powers with the defense forces” to act against those responsible. Adding to the tension, three unexploded bombs blew up Monday inside a van parked near one of the stricken churches as police were trying to defuse them, sending pedestrians fleeing in panic. No injuries were reported. Dozens of detonators were discovered near Colombo’s main bus depot, but officials declined to say whether they were linked to the attacks.

The government blocked access to Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram after the blasts, creating confusion and doing little to reassure residents and visitors that the danger had passed. A nationwide state of emergency was scheduled to begin at midnight Monday local time the president’s office said, following the attacks that killed at least 290 people, with more than 500 wounded, according to police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara. The three stricken hotels and one of the churches, St. Anthony’s Shrine, are

frequented by tourists, and dozens of foreigners were among the dead. Tourism Minister John Amaratunga said 39 foreigners were killed, although the foreign ministry put out a different figure, saying the number of dead was 31. The U.S. State Department confirmed that at least four Americans were among the dead and several others were seriously wounded, but it did not release any identities. The Sri Lankan government said other foreigners killed were from the U.K., Bangladesh, China, India, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey and Australia. A national day of mourning was declared for Tuesday. International intelligence agencies had warned that the little-known group, National Thowfeek Jamaath, was planning attacks, but word apparently didn’t reach the prime minister’s office until after the massacre, exposing the continuing political turmoil in the highest levels of the Sri Lankan government.

A Trump Fed choice steps aside, and another faces new doubts By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s efforts to reshape the Federal Reserve stumbled on Monday, with one of his potential nominees for the Fed’s board withdrawing from consideration and another being enveloped by fresh doubts. Herman Cain, a former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, asked to be taken out of the running for an influential post at the U.S. central bank, Trump tweeted. Cain had dropped out of the 2012 presidential race after facing allegations of sexual harassment and infidelity — issues that resurfaced after Trump said earlier this month that he planned to nominate Cain for the Fed. Trump tweeted that “My friend Herman Cain, a truly wonderful man, has asked me not to nominate him for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board. I will respect his wishes.” Separately, CNN on Monday unearthed opinion columns that Trump’s other pick for a Fed board vacancy, conservative commentator Stephen Moore, wrote in the early 2000s. Among the opinions Moore asserted

in those columns was that women should be barred from refereeing, announcing or even selling beer at men’s college basketball games. Those writings appeared on the conservative National Review website. Moore told CNN that the articles were “a spoof.” “I have a sense of humor,” he added. Cain’s nomination had already appeared doomed after four Republican senators said earlier this month that they wouldn’t vote to confirm him if he were nominated. Republicans hold just a three-seat majority in the Senate, so the opposition of those senators, on top of unified Democratic opposition, made Cain’s prospects appear impossible. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declined to say two weeks ago whether the chamber would confirm Cain. Several other controversies have also dogged Moore. A lien of more than $75,000 was filed against him in January 2018 for unpaid taxes. Reports have also indicated that he has fallen behind on alimony and child support payments to his ex-wife. The CNN report Monday also noted that Moore once wrote, “Is there no area in

Around the World

life where men can take vacation from women?” On top of that, both Cain and Moore have faced widespread criticism that they are unqualified for a critically important role on the world’s most influential central bank and that Trump chose them mainly for their allegiance to him and his priorities. On Monday, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer warned the Republicans against using Cain’s withdrawal as a “pathway” to approval of Moore, calling him “equally unqualified and perhaps more political.” “Mr. Moore, like Mr. Cain, poses a danger to the

economic stability of our country,” Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement. “Mr. Cain clearly saw the writing on the wall and withdrew his name from consideration; hopefully Senate Republicans will again voice their deep concerns and force Mr. Moore to do the same.” Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at Northern Trust and a former Fed official, said Moore “has been overly partisan” in his comments about the Fed. Moore has lavished praise on Trump’s tax cut policies and has accused Chairman Jerome Powell of undercutting the economy with interest rate hikes.

KIEV, Ukraine — Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s landslide victory in Ukraine’s presidential election has thrust a comedian and political novice into the middle of the most dangerous flashpoint between Moscow and the West since the end of the Cold War. Whether Zelenskiy is any match at all for Vladimir Putin, a canny and ruthless KGB veteran who has led Russia for nearly 20 years, remains to be seen. Zelenskiy, who played an accidental president in a hugely popular sitcom but has no real political background, has vowed to keep Ukraine on its proWestern course. At the same time, he has pledged to quickly reach out to Moscow to negotiate an end to the five years of fighting in Ukraine’s industrial east against Russian-backed separatists, a conflict that has killed more than 13,000 people. Arkady Moshes, an expert on Russia and Ukraine with the Finnish Institute of International Affairs, said the Kremlin may try to exploit Zelenskiy’s lack of political experience. Moscow “can on the one hand offer him something and basically outplay him diplomatically, and on the other hand threaten Zelenskiy as an inexperienced commander-in-chief with the destabilization of the situation in the east,” he said. With nearly all ballots counted in Sunday’s election, the 41-year-old Zelenskiy won 73% of the vote to President Petro Poroshenko’s 24%, reflecting disillusionment with the old elite amid economic woes, deep-seated corruption and the war. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and has fomented the fighting in Ukraine’s industrial heartland in a bid to maintain its influence in the country and keep the former Soviet state from joining the European Union and NATO. NATO doesn’t welcome nations with unsettled territorial conflicts. The question is whether Zelenskiy will have any more success than his predecessor in halting the hostilities. “Everything will depend on Putin — whether the Kremlin will continue to use the conflict in the east to put the brakes on Kiev’s movement toward the EU and NATO,” said Volodymyr Fesenko, head of the Penta Center, a Kiev-based think tank. Russia paid a steep price for its actions in Ukraine, with the U.S. and the EU responding with sanctions that have limited Moscow’s access to global financial markets and restricted imports of key technologies. The Kremlin may now be eager to engage in talks with Zelenskiy in the hope that a lull in the fighting will pave the way for the lifting of Western restrictions. On the campaign trail, Poroshenko warned over and over that Zelenskiy could be easy prey for the steely Russian leader. But Zelenskiy could also face powerful resistance at home. A case in point: Zelenskiy has said he will push for implementation of the 2015 Minsk peace deal, the internationally brokered agreement that would enable Russia to maintain influence in Ukraine by allowing broad autonomy for the rebel east. But the Ukrainian public has made it clear it opposes any concessions to Russia. “Any Ukrainian ruler’s room for concessions in the Russian direction is very limited,” Moshes said. During the campaign, Zelenskiy said he would continue efforts to join the EU and NATO but emphasized that becoming part of the alliance should be approved by a nationwide referendum. Zelenskiy, who comes from Ukraine’s Russianspeaking east and spent years working in Moscow during his entertainment career, has many friends in Russia’s artistic community who were excited by his election.

Iran sanctions send oil prices, supply concerns higher NEW YORK — The Trump administration’s decision to impose sanctions on countries that buy Iranian oil is raising concerns about global crude supply and sending oil prices to their highest levels since October. Industry experts said Monday that the sanctions could potentially remove up to 1.2 million barrels of oil per day from international markets. But that number will likely be lower, depending on how countries respond and just how much oil Iran continues to export. President Donald Trump wants to eliminate all of Iran’s revenue from oil exports, money he says funds destabilizing activity in the Middle East and elsewhere. The announcement primarily impacts Iranian oil importers including China, India, Japan, South Korea and Turkey. “It’s difficult to imagine all exports being cut off, especially since China is still a major buyer of Iranian crude oil,” said Jim Burkhard, vice president for oil markets at IHS Markit. “How China responds will go a long way to shape just how much Iranian exports are cut or not.” To make up for the Iranian losses, Saudi Arabia may increase production that the country had recently trimmed, but it “is going to use up all the spare capacity that they have, or pretty darn close to it, and that is going to leave markets feeling tight,” said Shin Kim, head of supply and production analytics at S&P Global Platts. Oil prices rose more than 2% Monday, helping to lift some energy stocks. The price of gasoline in the U.S. was already rising and the development could raise prices further. “We’ve seen that market tighten up considerably even before the Iranian news, and we’re also seeing a number of refining issues in the U.S.,” said Ryan Fitzmaurice, energy strategist at Rabobank. Rising oil — and gasoline — prices can squeeze consumers, whose spending accounts for about 70% of U.S. economic output. “They can take a bite out of consumers’ purchasing power,” said Scott Hoyt, senior director at Moody’s Analytics, where he follows consumer economics. — The Associated Press

Monday when Kenai Central’s Ed Hollier Field hosted a Peninsula Conference soccer battle between the Kardinals and Soldotna, two things were classic — the fierce coldness of the spring wind raking across the field and the fierce heat generated by the rivals on the field. Both games came down

to the wire. The girls game ended in a 1-1 draw after Kenai’s Julia Hanson scored with seven minutes to play, answering a goal earlier in the second half by Rhys Cannava. The Stars are now 4-1-2 overall and 1-0-2 in the league, while the Kards are 2-1-2 and 1-0-2. The boys game was wilder still, with a hat trick by senior captain Damien Redder ultimately proving to be

Mitchell helps Jazz stay alive against Rockets By The Associated Press

DETROIT — Donovan Mitchell scored 19 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter to rally the Utah Jazz to a 107-91 victory over the Houston Rockets in Game 4 of their Western Conference series on Monday night. Jae Crowder added 23 points. Ricky Rubio chipped in 18 points and 11 assists and Derrick Favors finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Utah staved off elimination to force Game 5 on Wednesday.

James Harden scored 30 points to lead Houston. Chris Paul added 23 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Eric Gordon chipped in 16 points. Utah’s offense got a major boost from Crowder and Rubio in the first quarter. The duo combined for 25 points on 9-of-11 shooting in the quarter to help the Jazz carve out a double digit lead. The Jazz opened the fourth quarter with a 15-1 and outscored the Rockets 31-12 in the period. Mitchell scored 13 points in three

minutes to fuel the run after totaling just 12 points in the first three quarters. He capped off the surge with back-to-back 3-pointers, giving the Jazz a 91-80 lead with 9:02 remaining. Mitchell later had an incredible alley-oop dunk when he caught an errant pass and threw it down.

Griffin fouled out and headed to the bench, and the home crowd gave him a standing ovation. Then many fans headed toward the exits. Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks were on their way to another rout against Detroit. Antetokounmpo scored 41 points, and the Bucks beat Detroit 127-104 on Monday night, completing a fourgame sweep of the Pistons and adBUCKS 127, PISTONS 104 vancing to the second round of the DETROIT — Giannis Antetok- playoffs for the first time since 2001. ounmpo drove to the basket and drew The last time Milwaukee won a postyet another foul, this one a hard hack season series, the Bucks made it all on the arm by Blake Griffin. the way to the conference finals.

But where we were and where we are right now, it’s been an unbelievable journey.” Milwaukee closed the third quarter with a 17-3 run, taking a 10-point lead into the fourth after the Pistons had led much of the way. Detroit set an NBA record with its 14th consecutive playoff loss, a skid that began in 2008.

Stars bounce Predators

. . . Kick Continued from page A6

Redder completed the hat trick on a penalty kick with six minutes to play, then Travis McKinley added another PK in stoppage time. Kenai moves to 3-2-1 and 2-0-1, while SoHi falls to 4-3-0 and 2-1-0. The tie in the girls game continued a trend between the top three teams in the conference standings. Soldotna tied Homer, Kenai tied Homer, and now Kenai and SoHi have tied. “We’re going to need a three-sided coin if this keeps up,” Kenai girls head coach Dan Verkuilen said. Verkuilen said the key to the game was surviving the first half when the Stars had the wind. The first 40 minutes ended up 0-0. The other key for the coach was keeping the explosive Stars from gaining easy possession of the ball and turning to look upfield. “We work on that a lot,” Verkuilen said. “They have too much talent to just let them get the ball, make a turn and gain a head of steam.” Soldotna girls head coach Jimmy Love is the first to admit Kenai was successful in getting to the ball first. “We were not going to the ball,” Love said. “We were second. At least 60 percent of the time, if not more, they beat us to the ball.” Still, the Stars almost pulled out a victory. In the seventh minute of the second half, Ryann Cannava played a corner kick into the box. It trickled through a crowd to Rhys Cannava, who hammered it home. A similar trickle would hurt the Stars in the 33rd minute, when SoHi missed a few chances to clear and Hanson made them pay by driving the ball into the back of the net from the middle of the box. “When you miss clearances, goals happen,” Love said. Both teams were not done with the drama. With three minutes left, Olivia

Brewer spun and ripped a shot in the box but SoHi goalie Katie Delker made a sprawling save. With under two minutes to play, SoHi had a chance on a free kick and Kenai also put a solid shot just wide. Verkuilen said a defense led by Alissa Maw, Damaris Severson and Anya Danielson was sharp in front of goalie Kailey Hamilton, who still had to make some sparkling saves. Brewer worked hard in the midfield, while Bethany Morris played well at the wing position.

three goals — the first two coming on assists from McKinley and Travis Verkuilen — but he played a crucial role in blunting Soldotna’s attack in the midfield. “He was big defensively, as well,” Kenai head boys coach Shane Lopez said. “He marshaled the guys into the right position in the midfield.” Redder also provided a calming presence when Soldotna stole the momentum on two free-kick strikes from Heiber, the second so precisely placed that it bounced off the post and in.

Redder off, then put him back on the field with instructions to settle the team down and get the ball moving again. With six minutes left, Leif Lofquist was brought down in the box and Redder actually converted two penalty kicks, the first not counting because the referee hadn’t blown his while. The Kardinals iced the game when Tomas LevyCanedo drew a penalty kick in the final seconds and McKinley converted. “It’s a rivalry game,” Lopez said. “It’s always good to win this one.” Lopez said his back line of Verkuilen, McKinley, Connor Felchle and Johann Corranza was sterling, while James Baisden also did good work in the midfield.

Diamondbacks topple Pirates By The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Pirates reliever Nick Burdi left in tears with a right arm injury, a chilling low point for Pittsburgh in a 12-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. Burdi, who had Tommy John surgery in 2017, had already given up five runs in a third of an inning when he fired a 96 mph fastball to Jarrod Dyson. The 26-year-old Burdi shrugged his right arm after releasing the pitch then crumpled to the ground. Surrounded by teammates, a trainer and manager Clint Hurdle, Burdi sobbed on the mound before standing and walking off holding his arm. The team said he was dealing with pain in his biceps and right elbow. The scene came after the Diamondbacks had already put the finishing touches on a massive rally that turned a three-run deficit into their major league leading ninth comeback win of the season. David Peralta hit a bases-clearing triple off Kyle Crick (0-1) in the seventh and Christian Walker smacked a two-run homer off Burdi two batters later. Eduardo Escobar hit his third home run of the season and finished with three hits and three RBIs. Arizona starter Zack Godley only lasted four-plus innings, allowing four runs on seven hits, with four walks and two strikeouts. Matt Andriese (3-1) picked up the win in relief. RAYS 6, ROYALS 3 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Mike Zunino returned from the paternity list and hit his first home run for Tampa Bay, a two-run shot that helped stop a seasonhigh four-game skid with a win over Kansas City. Yandy Diaz, Brandon Lowe and Daniel Robertson also drove in runs for the AL East leaders, who scored three times in the seventh to come from behind against Brad Keller (2-2). It’s the ninth time this season the Royals have lost after holding a lead in the sixth inning or beyond. Pitching while appealing a five-game suspension for his role in a benches-clearing fracas with the Chicago White Sox last week, Keller allowed five runs and seven hits over 6 1/3 innings. Alex Gordon, Hunter Dozier and Jorge Soler hit solo homers for the Royals, who have lost four straight.

Wilmer Font (1-0) struck out the only Grandal and Travis Shaw homered for batter he faced to get the win. Emilio Pa- Milwaukee, which has lost five of six. gan pitched the ninth for his first career Jack Flaherty (2-1) allowed four runs save. and three hits — all homers — in six innings. He struck out 10.

METS 5, PHILLIES 1

ROCKIES 7, NATIONALS 5

NEW YORK — Steven Matz atoned for a dismal start last week in Philadelphia by pitching six fine innings, and Jeff McNeil homered as New York dealt the Phillies their fourth loss in five games. Slugger Bryce Harper struck out twice and was ejected Mark Carlson four batters after being called out on strikes. Matz (2-1) allowed one run and three hits. The Phillies Jake Arrieta (3-2) got chased in the seventh. Pete Alonso hit an RBI double in a tworun third and was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the seventh. McNeil hit a solo home run in the fifth. Rhys Hoskins homered for the Phillies.

DENVER — Nolan Arenado hit a tiebreaking homer for his 1,000th career hit and Colorado rallied to beat Washington. Arenado also doubled twice and drove in two to help the Rockies win for the seventh time in eight games. He is the ninth Rockies player to reach 1,000 hits, getting there with a solo shot off Wander Suero (12) in the seventh to make it 6-5. Mark Reynolds and pinch-hitter Raimel Tapia also homered for Colorado, and Trevor Story singled twice and drove in a run to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. Brian Dozier had a three-run home run for the Nationals, who could not hold twoand three-run leads.

WHITE SOX 12, ORIOLES 2

TWINS 9, ASTROS 5

BALTIMORE — José Abreu homered and drove in five runs, James McCann had a homer and four RBIs and Chicago beat bumbling Baltimore. McCann’s three-run drive off David Hess (1-4) highlighted a four-run fifth inning, and Abreu’s shot with a man on sparked a four-run seventh against Tanner Scott. Abreu also had an RBI single in the fifth and singled in two runs during a fourrun eighth. The rebuilding Orioles have lost four straight, fell to 1-10 at home and drew just 8,555 — their fifth time under 10,000 at Camden Yards this season. Catcher Jesús Sucre pitched the ninth for Baltimore. The Orioles’ runs came on an RBI double by Trey Mancini in the fifth and solo homer by Pedro Severino in the ninth.

HOUSTON — Jorge Polanco had four hits, including a two-run homer, and drove in four runs to lead Minnesota over Houston for its fourth straight win. Max Kepler and Nelson Cruz had RBI singles around Polanco’s two-run single in a four-run sixth as the Twins built a 7-1 lead. Polanco homered in the eighth. C.J. Cron put Minnesota ahead with a two-run double in the first, and Jason Castro led off the second with a home run. Jake Odorizzi (2-2) won his second straight, allowing two runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. Houston has lost four of five since a 10game winning streak. Brad Peacock (2-1) gave up three runs and five hits in six innings.

CARDINALS 13, BREWERS 5 ST. LOUIS — Dexter Fowler had a four-hit game with his first home run this season and four RBIs to lead St. Louis over Milwaukee. Paul Goldschmidt hit his ninth home run and had three hits and three RBIs for the Cardinals. St. Louis outhit Milwaukee 18-5, set a season high for runs and won its third straight. Fowler had the fifth four-hit game of his career, his first since June 9, 2013, against San Diego. Ryan Braun, Hernán Pérez, Yasmani

ATHLETICS 6, RANGERS 1 OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Piscotty homered and drove in three to back Chris Bassitt’s winning season debut, and Oakland ended a three-game skid with a win over Texas. Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus left in the seventh inning as a precaution after being hit by a pitch in the first and bruising his right hand. Bassitt (1-0) struck out seven and walked four over five innings, allowing two hits. He has won his last three decisions dating to last season. Fernando Rodney pitched the ninth for his 907th career appearance, moving past Cy Young for 24th on baseball’s career list.

DALLAS — John Klingberg scored from the left circle 17:02 into overtime and the Dallas Stars beat the Nashville Predators 2-1 on Monday night to wrap up their first-round Western Conference playoff series in six games. Klingberg’s first goal of the playoffs came on a cross-ice pass from Alexander Radulov. The win by the Stars came 11 years after the previous time they clinched a playoff series on home ice. They needed overtime for a 2-1 win in that Game 6 as well — four overtimes to beat San Jose in the second round of the 2008 playoffs. The Stars will play St. Louis in the second round of these playoffs, just as they did in their previous postseason appearance three years ago. The Blues, who have home-ice advantage this time, won that 2016 series with a Game 7 win in Dallas. Ben Bishop, Vezina Trophy finalist, had a playoff career-high 47 saves for the Stars. Pekka Rinne, who won the Vezina Trophy last year as the NHL’s top goalie, also set a playoff career best by stopping 49 shots. That included an impressive pad save on Jamie Benn’s shot just more than five minutes into the overtime period, when the Stars had a 14-8 advantage on shots. Blake Comeau scored his first playoff goal for the Stars, tying the game at 1-1 in the second period. But he also had a tripping penalty with 1:53 left in regulation that put Nashville on the power play. But the Predators didn’t even get a shot on goal before the third period ended, or when finishing the final seconds with a man advantage to start overtime. They were 0-for-4 on the

power play in Game 6, and finished 0-for-15 in the series. Austin Watson scored a goal for Nashville in the first period. HURRICANES 5, CAPITALS 2 RALEIGH, N.C. — Justin Williams earned another chance to live up to his nickname. The rest of the Carolina Hurricanes aren’t yet ready to end their first playoff appearance in a decade. Jordan Staal scored the go-ahead goal and added an assist in the third period, and the Hurricanes beat the Washington Capitals 5-2 on Monday night to force Game 7 in their first-round playoff series. “We didn’t have a tomorrow,” coach Rod Brind’Amour said. Williams scored an insurance goal seconds after the Capitals had the tying goal disallowed, Warren Foegele and Teuvo Teravainen also scored, Dougie Hamilton added an empty-netter and Petr Mrazek made 23 saves. The Hurricanes scored three third-period goals in bouncing back from a 6-0 beatdown in Game 5 and prolonging their first playoff appearance in a decade by one game at least. “We answered the bell,” said Williams — known as “Mr. Game 7” for his NHLrecord 14 points in those games, plus his record-tying seven goals and his teams’ 7-1 record in them. “I said at the start of the series that if they’re going to knock us out, we’re not going to do it easy,” he added. “We’re not going to let it be easy on them. Let’s go play another game.” Game 7 is Wednesday night in Washington. The winner will play the New York Islanders in the second round.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, April 23, the 113th day of 2019. There are 252 days left in the year. Today’s Highlights in History: On April 23, 1954, Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves hit the first of his 755 major-league home runs in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. (The Braves won, 7-5.) On this date: In 1616 (Old Style calendar), English poet and dramatist William Shakespeare died in Stratford-upon-Avon on what has traditionally been regarded as the 52nd anniversary of his birth in 1564. In 1789, President-elect George Washington and his wife, Martha, moved into the first executive mansion, the Franklin House, in New York. In 1898, Spain declared war on the United States, which responded in kind two days later. In 1943, U.S. Navy Lt. (jg) John F. Kennedy assumed command of PT-109, a motor torpedo boat, in the Solomon Islands during World War II. (On Aug. 2, 1943, PT-109 was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer, killing two crew members; Kennedy and 10 others survived.) In 1968, student protesters began occupying buildings on the campus of Columbia University in New York; police put down the protests a week later. The Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged to form the United Methodist Church. In 1969, Sirhan Sirhan was sentenced to death for assassinating New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. (The sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment.) In 1971, hundreds of Vietnam War veterans opposed to the conflict protested by tossing their medals and ribbons over a wire fence in front of the U.S. Capitol. In 1987, 28 construction workers were killed when an apartment complex being built in Bridgeport, Connecticut, suddenly collapsed. In 1988, a federal ban on smoking during domestic airline flights of two hours or less went into effect. In 1995, sportscaster Howard Cosell died in New York at age 77. In 1998, James Earl Ray, who confessed to assassinating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and then insisted he’d been framed, died at a Nashville, Tennessee, hospital at age 70. In 2005, the recently created video-sharing website YouTube uploaded its first clip, “Me at the Zoo,” which showed YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim standing in front of an elephant enclosure at the San Diego Zoo. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama met privately with leading executives of credit-card issuing companies; afterward, the president said he was determined to get a credit-card law passed that eliminated the tricky fine print, sudden rate increases and late fees. Five years ago: Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signed a law allowing legally owned guns in bars without restriction and in some churches, schools and government buildings under certain circumstances. Facebook reported its earnings had nearly tripled and revenue had grown sharply in the first quarter, surpassing Wall Street’s expectations. One year ago: A man plowed a rental van into crowds of pedestrians in Toronto, killing 10 people and leaving 16 others hurt; police said the suspect, Alek Minassian, had posted a Facebook message indicating anger toward women. (Minassian is due to go to trial in February 2020.) French President Emmanuel Macron began a three-day state visit to Washington by visiting George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate with his host, President Donald Trump, and their wives. The Duchess of Cambridge, formerly known as Kate Middleton, gave birth to a new prince who was fifth in line to the British throne; Louis Arthur Charles was the third child for the duchess and her husband, Prince William.

Woman enjoys dating, but is distracted by online romance the two of you haven’t met in person in nearly a year. The fact that his reaction to the idea that you might be getting serious about him is to pull back makes me wonder whether you may have jumped the gun. Before allowing yourself to fall further in love, you have Abigail Van Buren some work to do to get your emotions back under control so you can move forward and be more receptive to the “great men” in your own area who are available. DEAR ABBY: My mom is 82 and suffering from dementia. I have called her every Sunday since I left home for college in 1990. We used to talk for an hour, sharing what had happened to us since we last spoke. Abby, I loved those calls, which allowed me to stay close to my mom despite the distance. Now I can barely manage five or 10 minutes. It’s basically just me telling her things about my week. She still remembers me, but she doesn’t talk much. I have started to skip our weekly calls because they are very painful to me. Dad says Mom misses my calls, but I know that’s not true. I know I

A surprising call or letter could encourage taking time to evaluate. Tonight: Reach out to a loved one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You could be at odds with a child or loved one. You might want to take the time over lunch to have a discussion with this person. Reaching out will be the first step toward making peace. You could be exhausted by others. Tonight: Head home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You have the ability to make a difference no matter your choices or what you are doing. Investigate new possibilities for staying open. Check out a financial matter with care. You have more options than you think. Tonight: Veg with a friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Use the daylight hours to realize a whimsical thought or bring about a much-desired happening. You beam while doing nothing. At the same time, you draw quite a few admirers. Whatever your objectives are, you are likely to fulfill them during the day. Tonight: Make it your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Expect to do some hard thinking about a key issue or decision. You might want to get feedback from several friends and associates. Understand what is happening within a closed circle of friends. Some information needs to be kept hushhush. Tonight: Put your best foot forward. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Friendship means a lot to you. A close associate touches you with the depth of his or her feelings. You might be speechless, which is unusual for you! Stay sensitive to this person, no matter how you feel -- it took courage to open up! Tonight: Make it personal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH There is a strange connection between you and someone you associate with nearly every day. You might wonder about it. You probably cannot change it, so accept it and you will be a lot happier. A meeting toward the end of the day is important. Tonight: Where the action is.

F.A.S.T. signs of a possible stroke Dear Readers: Suspect a STROKE? Act F.A.S.T. The National Stroke Association (www.stroke.org) suggests looking for these danger signs: F. (FACE): A droopy face when smiling. A. (ARMS): Inability to raise both arms at the same time, and with equal height. S. (SPEECH): Slurred or garbled speech when reciting a simple phrase or song. T. (TIME): Call 911 immediately if you observe ANY of these symptoms; note the time the symptoms first appeared. What is a stroke? A stroke can occur when blood flow is cut off to the brain, or when a damaged blood vessel in the brain bursts. Ask your health care provider for more information on strokes. -- Heloise WHY DO COINS HAVE RIDGES? Dear Heloise: My friends and I were wondering: Why do most coins have ridges on the sides? -- Regan W., age 10, in Virginia Regan, Virginia is one of my old stomping grounds! Coins have ridges (also called “reeded edges”) for a couple of reasons. When coins were first made (many, many years ago), they were composed of real silver and copper. Unscrupulous people could shave down an unridged coin, collect the shavings and sell them. Nickels and pennies are made of less desirable metals, so no ridges. The ridges also make the coins harder to copy (counterfeit). Thanks for your letter! -- Heloise

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, April 23, 2019: This year, you manifest much more of what you desire through a partnership or a business involvement. If single, you could meet someone through a past love relationship. This bond could be very interesting and suit you well. If you’re attached, the two of you relish being alone as a couple. News from a SAGITTARIUS is generally exciting! The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH If you’re feeling inclined to take a risk, investigate the ramifications with care. The daylight hours favor good choices, whereas later you will be more restrained. A boss or older relative demonstrates his or her caring. You might want to mull over a decision. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH One-on-one relating appears to be favored during the day. Your message carries generosity of spirit. You could decide to move in a new direction. Understand what is happening around you. Be more forthright in your actions. Tonight: Seek out professional advice or call an insightful friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Defer to others, yet express your feelings. Carefully examine an offer that appears too good to be true. It probably is. The person offering this proposition might not understand its liabilities. Ask questions. Avoid an argument. Tonight: Say “yes” to a close friend’s invitation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might feel entrenched in what is happening around you. Consider your options more carefully than in the recent past. Don’t automatically shut down and say a situation is impossible. Explore other approaches. Tonight: Brainstorm with your best friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Creativity rarely is lacking in your life, but today your imagination has an extra, delightful push. Coming to terms with what is happening will ultimately serve you. Do not undermine yourself when making an important decision. Tonight: Go for a health night. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your desirability and energy en-

should call her -- even if she doesn’t remember I did -- but it hurts so much. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this? -- HER SON IN AUSTIN, TEXAS DEAR SON: You are a good son, and a fortunate one to have had such a close and loving relationship with your mom. Dementia is a terrible disease, one that steals not only memories but the ability to communicate. If you think you are feeling bad or guilty now, imagine how you will feel when she passes away and you are left knowing you didn’t do the things you could to lift her spirits. Please don’t skip those calls. They may no longer last an hour, but your father has told you she is aware of their absence. Believe him. Tell her the good things that are happening in your life. Tell her jokes that will make her laugh. If her disease is as advanced as you say, you can tell them repeatedly and she won’t know the difference. The sound of your voice is what counts, and the words, “I love you, Mom.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

DEAR ABBY: I am a woman who has re-entered the dating pool after a few years of being single. I have gone on some amazing dates with fabulous men. I met someone online last summer. “Miles” had a similar story -- long, bad marriage and now living life to the fullest. I adore his personality (and looks), but I have never met him in person. We talk often, sharing dating stories and everything else, knowing it won’t go anywhere as he lives 1,000 miles away. We have developed a strong emotional bond and have become great friends. My emotions have now moved past friendship. I believe Miles can sense it because he has pulled back a little. I know realistically it won’t work due to the distance. My kids are still in school, and I’d feel guilty asking him to move away from his business, kids (grown), parents, family, etc. Should I quit talking to him altogether, because apparently I can’t keep it where it has been for the last several months? We agree that we “met” for a reason, and only time will tell what that reason is or if it goes anywhere. I’m heartbroken and emotionally unavailable to the great men around me. My heart is with Miles. Advice? -- SMITTEN IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR SMITTEN: You and Miles may have met for a reason, but there’s also a reason why

Colorado dog reunited with Florida family after 2017 theft The Associated Press

SOUTHWEST RANCHES, Fla. — A dog found abandoned in Colorado has been returned to its family, nearly two years after it was stolen in Florida as a puppy. Animal charity organization Wings of Rescue says the German Shepherd named Cedar was covered with snow in a rural Colorado ditch, apparently malnourished with an injured leg when a deputy marshal found her. The pet was identified thanks to its microchip.

The youngest of four dogs in the Peterson family, Cedar was stolen from their backyard in May 2017 in the town of Southwest Ranches, north of Miami. At the time, other signs for missing pets were going up around the community. Back then, Tamara Peterson told reporters that she thought someone had hopped the fence to take the 4-month-old puppy. The family posted flyers with Cedar’s photos around the town, drove

around several neighborhoods and hired a detective to track the pet down. It was not clear how the dog wound up nearly 2,000 miles (3,219 kilometers) away in the Colorado town of Hugo. Deputy Marshal Steve Ryan found Cedar in a ditch and picked the dog up to put it in his car. When Ryan took the dog to a veterinarian, she scanned the pet for a microchip and found out the puppy belonged in South Florida. Then the Petersons got a phone call.

“I immediately cried,” Tamara Peterson told The Miami Herald . “I couldn’t believe it. I was in shock. It’s almost two years to the day.” After three weeks of recovery, Wings of Rescue, a charity known for flying pets in disaster zones, helped arrange Cedar’s return flight on Saturday. The Peterson kids petted Cedar’s furry chest and neck on a Fort Lauderdale airport tarmac as the dog looked around and shook its body.
