By NICK BOWMAN Daily News Staff Writer A clash between state marijuana law and federal control of air and water transportation is resurrecting Ketchikan’s Marijuana Advisory Com- mittee. The committee of local leaders from the Ketchikan Gateway Borough As- sembly, Ketchikan and Saxman city councils and the Ketchikan School Board guided marijuana policy on the island in 2015, but has been dormant for months after approving a set of final recommendations. However, the committee will meet again to discuss whether local policy should change as a result of federal control of air and water travel. Alaska’s Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office isn’t planning to make legal transportation of marijuana products a permitting requirement, according to the borough and state staff. State regulations require marijuana products to be tested for THC content and other criteria before sale, but there’s “nothing in regs that stipulate how they get their product tested,” said Bruce Schulte, chairman of the Marijuana Control Board, earlier this month. For most of Southeast’s many island communities, that means a local test- ing facility is required or entrepre- neurs would be forced to break more federal laws to do business by trans- porting marijuana by sea or air to a larger community for testing. Because marijuana remains a feder- ally controlled substance, all potential Alaska cannabis entrepreneurs would already be violating federal law. While the borough is hearing ru- mors that federal authorities might ease up on enforcement because of state-level legalization, the official word from the U.S. Coast Guard and the Federal Aviation Administration remains unchanged. Current borough policy mimics the state, according to the Borough Plan- ning Department. Legal transportation or a local testing facility isn’t a re- quirement of doing business in Ketchikan. “That does not mean that the Mari- juana Control Board will not be ad- dressing comments from local government or individuals that object to such transportation violations,” states a Monday report by the Plan- ning Department. Borough staff posed the question to the Assembly on Monday: Should the borough revisit local marijuana regu- lations because of the conflict?

Photos by Cathy McIntosh By MATT ARMSTRONG Daily News Staff Writer The State of Alaska put a Gravina Is- land road project out to bid on Thurs- day. The state’s Department of Natural Resources issued an invitation to bid on construction of new roads and re- construction of existing roads as part of the Division of Forestry’s proposed Val- lenar Bay Timber Sale. The bid is “for the construction of 8.4 miles of linear graded road and associ- ated drainage structures, supply and in- stall of culverts and modular bridges as necessary, reconstruction of approxi- mately 1.1 miles of existing forest road and associated drainage structures.” According to the bid invitation, the state-funded road project has an esti- mated price of between $2.5 million and $5 million, according to the bid in- vitation. The project area is on the north end of Gravina Island, approximately five miles west of the Ketchikan Interna- tional Airport. The proposed Vallenar Bay Timber Sale would offer approximately 600 acres of young-growth and old-growth timber, approximately 12 million board feet. The roads portion of the project would establish access to the Vallenar Bay area from the existing road system on Gravina Island by constructing a forest road from the Lewis Reef area to the existing logging road on the south- east side of Vallenar Bay, according to the project’s best interest finding. Sen. Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, helped secure funding for the road project in 2012 when he was the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, according to a news release from his office. “This road project will not only pro- vide access to Southeast State Forest land units for timber sales, but will also provide access to private lands in Val- lenar Bay,” Stedman said in the release. “The Alaska Mental Health Trust Au- thority and the University of Alaska also own tracts of land near the new road, and I’m hopeful that potential timber sales will occur on these lands, too.” The Southeast State Forest includes about 46,592 acres of land located in 32 management units throughout central and southern Southeast Alaska, accord- ing to the Division of Forestry. Potential bidders may “submit sealed bids, in single copy, for furnishing all labor, equipment, and materials and for performing all work for the project” to: Procurement Officer, Dept. Natural Resources 550 W. 7th Ave., Suite 1230 Anchorage, AK 99501. Bids will be opened publicly at 2 p.m. April 28 at that location.

Fish planning meetingKETCHIKAN (KDN) — Fisher-

men, state regulators and salmonhatchery managers will meet for aplanning session on Wednesday inKetchikan.The regional planning team for

southern Southeast includes repre-sentatives of the commercial geargroups, staff of the Alaska Depart-ment of Fish and Game and theSouthern Southeast Regional Aqua-culture Association, the regionalsalmon hatchery.On the table for Ketchikan are the

long-discussed expansions of SSRAAon Prince of Wales Island and inBurnett Inlet, according to Fish andGame’s announcement. SSRAA has agreed to take control

of the state-owned Klawock RiverHatchery and the much smaller PortSaint Nicholas Hatchery from thePrince of Wales Hatchery Associa-tion.Salmon production on Prince of

Wales mostly consists of coho,which are relatively expensive torear and are more easily caught byfishermen, meaning cost recovery ismore difficult for the hatchery.Fish and Game, including through

the planning meeting, still needs tosign off on SSRAA’s growth onPrince of Wales.The association also needs the

state’s approval to add 59 millionchum salmon eggs to its site in Bur-nett. The expansion at Burnett, ac-cording to previous interviews withSSRAA managers, is intended to di-versify the association’s chum pro-duction and cover the additionalcosts of running the Prince of Walesfacilities.SSRAA completed construction of

a new chum facility at Burnett Inletin late 2015.New chum fry would be released

in Burnett Inlet (19 million), EarlWest Cove on Wrangell Island (10million) and Shrimp Bay northwestof Neets Bay (20 million), accordingto the Fish and Game announce-ment.Earl West Cove and Shrimp Bay

would be new release sites forSSRAA.The meeting begins at 9 a.m. at

the Ted Ferry Civic Center.

EMS symposium setKETCHIKAN (KDN) — The South-

east Region Emergency Medical Serv-ices Council has scheduled the 32ndAnnual EMS Symposium for April 13-17 in Sitka.

MEETINGS

The Assembly agreed that the committee should meet again.“I think for us to place our policies and procedures and laws against the

federal government doesn't make a lot of sense at all,” said Assembly Mem-ber Alan Bailey, noting he had “grave concerns” about the transportationissue.Assembly Member Glen Thompson, a co-chair of the marijuana committee,

said the developments represented “substantial changes to what we re-viewed” at the committee level.He said the committee should react to the state’s direction “specifically

with regards to whether or not the state actually intends to enforce their ownregulations on transportation and testing.”The Borough Planning Commission will hear requests for permits from

three marijuana establishments at its April 12 meeting, two for cultivationand one for a retail business.As a semi-legislative body, the commission can issue permits without the

approval of the Assembly, though its members are confirmed by the Assem-bly.Assembly Member Mike Painter said the local applicants might be “getting

the cart before the horse without everything set up and ready to go on open-ing day” because of the gaps with testing.While the commission will bring up the application for a retail permit on

Stedman Street at its meeting, Planning Director Chris French said the ap-plicant intends to ask to postpone the request.The Marijuana Advisory Committee could meet as early as next week, ac-

cording to Borough Clerk Kacie Paxton, but a date has yet to be [email protected]

Ann Stout

Chief Judge Janet DiFiore and JudgesEugene Pigott Jr. and Michael Garciaagreed with Fahey.In a dissent, Judge Leslie Stein wrote

that the issue raises many policy con-cerns that should be left to the Legisla-ture, with implications for divorce andcustody disputes, criminal proceedingsagainst the minor or others, juveniledelinquency and any other disputewithin families.Even in this

case, the fatherdidn’t notify au-thorities or sharethe tape until afterBadalamenti andthe boy’s motherwere arrestedmonths later whenneighbors heardscreaming and cry-ing and called po-lice, Stein wrote.The majority’s rul-ing fails to answerwhether a parentcan eavesdrop overthe explicit refusalof an older childwho’s talking to his or her other parent,she wrote.Judges Jenny Rivera and Sheila

Abdus-Salaam joined Stein’s dissent.“We are pleased that the court ac-

cepted our common sense argumentthat parents absolutely have the right touse a recording such as this one to pro-tect their child,” District Attorney Made-line Singas said.But Attorney Marianne Karas, who

represented Badalamenti, said the courtmajority reached its conclusion withoutan initial threshold finding that the fa-ther taping the call was acting in hischild’s best interests. “He didn’t do any-thing until way, way after the arrest. If

you are in mortal danger, would you likeme to record this conversation? Wouldthat help you?”In a previous New York case, a mi-

dlevel court in Brooklyn upheld amother’s use of putting a recorder in herautistic son’s backpack to tape sus-pected abuse by his bus matron, whichwas allowed as evidence of child endan-germent. However, Tuesday’s decisionestablishes case law for the state ex-

pected to have alarger impact.“From my point

of view, and thepoint of view of at-torneys who prac-tice divorce andfamily law, thiscase does poten-tially open up aPandora’s box,”said attorney EricTepper, vice chair-man of the NewYork State Bar As-sociation’s FamilyLaw Section.“Even though thisis a criminal case,

you might envision that in custody casesor in divorce cases, a parent might betape recording a child’s communica-tions with someone else.”The New York court said the “vicari-

ous consent” doctrine was adopted by afederal court in Utah in 1993 and thefederal appeals court in Cincinnati in1998.At least a dozen other states have rec-

ognized that doctrine, according to Nas-sau County prosecutors who used thetape against Badalamenti. They are Al-abama, Arizona, Delaware, Iowa,Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, NewJersey, North Carolina, South Carolina,Tennessee and Texas.

‘(From) the point ofview of attorneys whopractice divorce andfamily law, this casedoes potentially openup a Pandora’s box.’

the Julie Marie.Kathy Peavey estimated 54 passengers

ventured out on the water Saturday, includ-ing many newcomers.Marlene Shepard of Craig was last out on

the water 2 to 3 years ago with Whalefest.“It was just fun to be out there and see

things. It was a great day,” she said.The whole trip was “pretty cool,” said

Robert McNamara, 11, of Craig.“The best part was seeing a whale spraying

and diving,” he said.He also enjoyed the time that Anne Louise

captain Steven Peavey took to explain fath-oms and the on-board equipment used to de-termine location and detect what liesbeneath the ocean surface.Daisy McNamara and her young son were

visiting from Washington. She appreciatedthe time taken to peacefully enjoy thewildlife.“I liked that we turned off the motor as we

watched the sea lions,” she said.Meanwhile, Cheryl Fecko took a small

group of kayakers around nearby Fish EggIsland, making some beach stops and nib-bling roe on kelp during their 3-hour paddle,she said.Whalefest was created about 7 years ago,

said co-founder Bob Claus. He and KathyPeavey had organized an “Out in the Rain” event to showcasethe herring pound fishery and the abundant wildlife on dis-play this time of year.“We wanted to find a way to share that with people,” Claus

told the 40 people assembled Saturday night for the fest’s finalevents. Each year Whalefest brings in guest lecturers, includ-ing internationally known oceanographers and orca experts,in addition to local experts to discuss topics like Japanesetsunami debris and killer whale migration patterns.This year’s Whalefest was funded primarily by its organiz-

ers, with help from donations, many volunteers and a silentauction. All Whalefest activities are free.Saturday evening included a wearable arts show,

“XTRATUF Boot and RainGear Run Off Contest: WearableArt POW Style,” organized by Felicia McAuley and emceed byMelissa Walters. Contestants modeled their decorated bootsto Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.” Topprize went to Victoria Merritt for her “Feeding Orca” boots,

which featured stuffed whales, one feastingon fish beads, the other eyeing a small,stuffed seal.Second place went to Cathy McIntosh’s

“Whale Wranglers,” and third place to JanStevens’ “Boots Gone Postal.” Julie Yates-Fulton received an honorable mention forher “Featured Boots of the F/V Julie Kris-tine.”Merritt also took the top Rain Gear prize

for her glitter and foil whale raincoat.Preceding the show, Edie Leghorn of the

Southeast Alaska Conservation Council’sInside Passage Waterkeepers Program intro-duced the 30-minute film, “We Eat Fish,”which features several Southeast commu-nities including Craig, Kasaan andKetchikan. Carrie Sykes is featured in theKasaan segment, Dolly Garza in the Craigsegment and Emily Chapel in the Ketchikansegment.The film focuses on Alaska’s pristine wa-

ters that support lives, livelihoods and sub-sistence lifestyles. The fish that come fromthese waters feed and bring families andcommunities together and give inspirationto artists, according to the film. The film alsoincludes a plea for the State of Alaska totoughen its water quality standards to avoidfuture impact from wastewater discharges

adjacent to and within the region.The final presenter was Anjuli Grantham, project director

for the Alaska Historical Society’s Alaska Historic CanneriesInitiative. Grantham is also curator of collections and exhibitsat Kodiak’s Baranov Museum.The Canneries Initiative aims to document, preserve and

educate about Alaska’s seafood history covering not only thephysical structures, but the stories behind the people thatworked and lived in them, and the evolution of fisheries tech-nologies and science.“Canneries are etched in the souls of coastal Alaskans,”

Grantham said.Her presentation included old photos of canneries and can-

nery workers. She urged anyone with old cannery stories, in-formation or photographs to share their information and helpin the preservation of that part of Alaska’s history.Of the hundreds of canneries that exist in Alaska’s history,

only two are on the historic registry, she said.

Bellingham has been ordered to pay$16 million to an Alaska ferries em-ployee who was injured while operat-ing a faulty loading ramp at the port’scruise terminal.The Seattle Times reports that a fed-

eral jury issued its decision Friday inthe case brought by Shannon Adam-son, who suffered life-threatening in-juries in the 2012 incident. The juryfound the port was negligent for fail-ing to fix a control panel that operatedthe passenger-loading ramp.Adamson sued the port in 2014 after

the ramp she had been adjusting fellnearly 20 feet. The suit alleges theport knew the ramp had a defectivecontrol panel following a similar inci-dent in 2008.The port’s lawyers had argued that

Adamson knew she was insufficientlytrained to operate the passenger ramp.

KODIAK (AP) — U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska ispushing to get a new icebreaker in the Arctic to boostthe nation’s defenses and investments in commerce.Sullivan said the federal government is “behind the

curve” in transportation and resources in the Arcticcompared to other countries, like Russia.“I think we’re making progress but not nearly as

much as we need to be, particularly given what othercountries are doing,” said Sullivan, who serves on theSenate Armed Services Committee. “There are severalother countries who aren’t arctic nations that havemore icebreakers than we do.”

Many countries have sought to take advantage ofmelting sea ice that has created new pathways in theArctic by acquiring icebreakers, which are used to cre-ate paths for other vessels.The U.S. has two active icebreakers, the Healy and

the Polar Star, which is the only one capable of year-round access in the Arctic. The Coast Guard predictsthe 40-year-old Polar Star will only be in commissionfor about seven more years.Russia has 40 active icebreakers, with more likely on

the way.“The Department of Defense, and they even admit

it, has just essentially been very, very behind the curveon what’s going on in the Arctic in terms of transporta-tion, in terms of resources, in terms of what the Rus-sians are doing in the Arctic,” said Sullivan. “We’replaying catch-up.”A new icebreaker is estimated at about $1 billion and

takes up to 10 years to build, which Sullivan said is toolong of a wait. He has co-sponsored a bill with Sen.Maria Cantwell of Washington that seeks to refurbishthe Polar Sea, which was decommissioned in 2011 afteran engine failure. Sullivan said he also is in favor ofleasing an icebreaker from the private sector.

ANCHORAGE — A Fairbanks-areaman sought on a warrant used a can ofpepper spray and tools thrown from theback of his pickup to temporarily eludeAlaska State Troopers.Logan Austin, 25, and Sandra Austin,

23, were taken into custody Mondaynight after traveling 72 miles north onthe Parks Highway from where an offi-cer first attempted to stop them forspeeding in Willow.The Austins were charged with felony

eluding and two misdemeanor charges,reckless driving and giving false infor-mation. In addition, Logan Austin, whowas sought on a $20,000 arrest warrant,

was charged with felony and misde-meanor assault.Online court documents did not list at-

torneys for them.The arresting officer was not on duty

Tuesday, and troopers spokeswomanMegan Peters said by email she couldnot provide details of the pursuit or therelationship between the Austins.The incident began with an attempted

traffic stop for speeding at Mile 67 ParksHighway in Willow. The driver and pas-senger gave false names, troopers said inan online dispatch.The officer had the driver step out of

the truck to further investigate his iden-tity, and the driver, later identified asLogan Austin, pulled out a can of pepper

spray and attempted to spray the officer.Austin got back in the truck and sped

off. The trooper pursued.At one point, Sandra Austin took over

the wheel as Logan Austin crawled intothe bed of the truck and heaved heavytools and other objects at his pursuer.Logan Austin crawled back into the caband took over driving again.Near Mile 104.5, after 32 miles, troop-

ers deployed spike strips, puncturingboth of the pickup’s tires on the driver’sside. The truck, however, did not stop.The truck continued another 35 miles

on rims until it left the roadway andcrashed into a ditch. Logan and SandraAustin were arrested without additionalresistance, troopers said.

EDITORIAL

TODAY IN HISTORY

School costsFew local topics generate as much comment — and sometimes con-troversy — as funding for Ketchikan’s schools and public facilities.Ketchikan residents pay a lot of money through property and othertaxes, much of it for the daily operations of our schools. Some of thatmoney, in addition to many dollars from fundraising by student ath-letes and scholars, pays for extracurricular sports and academic ac-tivities. Significant chunks of it goes to pay off the construction debtand fund the operations of public facilties such as the Gateway Recre-ation and Aquatic Center and Ketchikan Public Library, not to men-tion harbor improvements and other public infrastructure.For as long as we can remember, every annual budget cycle hasbrought discussion of the costs involved. Many good people haveserved and continue to serve in elected office here, and many havestruggled in trying to balance costs, needs, benefits and tax burdens.You probably have an opinion — likely multiple and very strong opin-ions — about how successful our local officials have been with in thatbalancing act. Our purpose in writing here is not to weigh in on that subject.Rather, it’s to remind Ketchikan residents that their significant invest-ments have produced results that they can make use of and be in-volved with. We have quality schools in good facilities that double as communitycenters, especially the Ketchikan High School complex. We have ex-cellent public recreational facilities in the rec and aquatic centers, andthe Esther Shea Track and Field at the Fawn Mountain ElementarySchool. The Ketchikan Public Library is a tremendous resource. Sub-stantial work continues on our harbors, which still have many main-tenence needs but are improving. It’s great to see so many local people using these community facil-ties that we’ve been paying for. We’d like to encourage more peopleto do so.We’d also like to encourage more folks to come out to see what’shappening with our local schools. Every school has a calendar ofevents that showcase the talents and achievements of thier students.There’s always something happening. Kayhi, for example, has hadband and choir concerts in the past two weeks and will be the hostfor the Southeast Alaska Music Festival next week. The baseball, soft-ball, soccer and track seasons are underway. These events bring manyopportunities for people to come out and support and enjoy the effortsof our community’s musicians, singers and athletes.All of these things have a cost. Local residents have paid a lot ofmoney so that these facilities and opportunities can exist. The ongoingbudget debates will continue to try to balance the cost-benefit-need-opportunity equations for the future. At this moment, we have manygood things, and we encourage our friends and neighbors to make fulluse of what we have.

By JEFF JACOBYVenerable political norms have beenupended during this crazy election sea-son, but at least one presidential-cam-paign tradition remains intact. Everyfour years, candidates for the WhiteHouse firmly pledge that, if elected, theywill relocate the US embassy in Israelfrom Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. 2016 hasbeen no exception.At the annual American Israel PublicAffairs Committee gathering in Wash-ington last week, Republican front-run-ner Donald Trump was cheered whenhe declared that as president he would"move the American embassy to theeternal capital of the Jewish people,Jerusalem." A few hours later, Texas Sen-ator Ted Cruz not only made the samepromise, but said the process wouldbegin on his "very first day in office."Ohio Governor John Kasich, askedabout the embassy issue on CNN, con-firmed that he too wants the US em-bassy moved to Israel's capital.Jerusalem didn't come up in HillaryClinton's AIPAC speech; then again, shehad come out for moving the embassylong before anyone was even thinking of2016. In 1999, while still first lady and

planning a US Senate race, Clintonvowed to be an "active, committed ad-vocate" for relocating the embassy fromTel Aviv. That was seven years after herhusband, campaigning for president inNew York, had affirmed his support forJerusalem "as an undividedcity, the eternal capital of Is-rael, and [for] moving ourembassy to Jerusalem."George W. Bush in 2000,John Kerry in 2004, JohnMcCain in 2008 — thoughthe nominees change, thequadrennial promise to shiftthe American embassy in Is-rael to the country's capitalhas been as consistent asOld Faithful.But even more consistentis the failure of any presi-dent to keep that promiseonce in office.Candidates routinely giveassurances that they have no intentionof keeping. But moving the embassy inIsrael to Jerusalem ought to be a no-brainer. The United States maintainsnearly 190 embassies, one in virtuallyevery country on earth. In every one the

embassy is located in the capital of thehost country. Israel is the lone exception.Washington has never formally recog-nized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Whenasked what the country's capital is, ad-ministration spokesmen tie themselves

in knots to avoid giving ananswer. This isn't just an ab-surdity, it's an insult to anally. It's also a continuing actof appeasement to rejection-ists who oppose Jewish sov-ereignty over any part of theJewish homeland. Such dis-criminatory treatment is ob-noxious; that is whypresidential hopefuls keeppledging to fix it, and whythe House and Senate morethan a decade ago, by over-whelming majorities, passeda law — the Jerusalem Em-bassy Act of 1995 — requiringthat the embassy be moved.

Yet nothing changes. A waiver provi-sion in the 1995 law empowers the pres-ident to suspend the relocation for sixmonths if necessary "to protect the na-tional security interests of the UnitedStates." Every six months, with perfect

regularity, each president since Bill Clin-ton has issued a waiver.When pressed, the White House orState Department says that relocatingthe embassy would amount to prejudg-ing an issue that should be settledthrough negotiation. That might be plau-sible if the US embassy were to be es-tablished in eastern Jerusalem — whichwas occupied by Jordan from 1948 untilIsrael liberated it in the Six Day War. Butno one has ever suggested that the em-bassy go anywhere but West Jerusalem,the undisputed seat of Israel's govern-ment since 1948.Israel's enemies don't object to sitingforeign embassies in Jerusalem becauseit would undermine diplomatic negotia-tions. They object because they deny Is-rael's claim to any part of Jerusalem,even parts that have always been sover-eign Israeli territory. They deny, in otherwords, that Israel's very existence is asettled issue. Moving the U.S. embassyto Jerusalem would send one message,simple but significant: Americans do notregard the survival of the Jewish state asnegotiable.

Looks like grandstandingIt is illegal in the U.S. to sell body parts. So the release of undercovervideos last summer purporting to show Planned Parenthood officialsnegotiating fees for tissue from aborted fetuses launched a flurry of fed-eral and state investigations into the healthcare provider. The HouseEnergy and Commerce Committee’s Select Investigative Panel on InfantLives was the fourth congressional entry into this overcrowded field,but its mandate is far broader than just looking into Planned Parenthood— it can investigate the entities that procure fetal tissue and look intofederal funding and support for abortion providers. It is also authorizedto scrutinize the providers of second- and third-term abortions (eventhough later-term abortions are already highly regulated).Toward those ends, the panel has requested documents from morethan 30 groups, and last month it issued subpoenas to three institutionsit deemed uncooperative with earlier requests: the University of NewMexico, where research is done using fetal tissue; an Albuquerqueabortion clinic called Southwestern Women’s Options; and StemEx-press, which provides human tissue to biomedical researchers. Thesweeping subpoenas requested five years’ worth of documentation onfetal tissue acquisitions, bank records, and the names of people involvedin the businesses. The university and abortion clinic were also requiredto provide names of personnel involved in abortion procedures. Now,the panel is preparing to issue 17 more subpoenas, according to its rank-ing Democrat, Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois, who has decried thework of the Republican members as a “partisan witch hunt.”It’s legitimate for a congressional committee to look into allegationsof wrongdoing. But this panel — which is chaired by Rep. MarshaBlackburn (R-Tenn.), an opponent of abortion rights who has workedhard to defund Planned Parenthood — has raised alarm bells by seekingthe names of people involved in legal enterprises, namely, providingabortions and collecting fetal tissue for research. If the main goal of thesubpoenas is to expose people in these fields to harassment and intim-idation, Blackburn should stop now.Legally donated fetal tissue has played a significant role in cutting-edge research, including Alzheimer’s disease, spinal cord injury andkidney failure. The purpose of the panel was not to weigh in on theethics of abortion but to investigate allegations of illegal practices. Sofar, all the governmental inquiries that preceded this panel’s — by 12state agencies, three congressional committees, and a grand jury inTexas —t have found no evidence that Planned Parenthood was profit-ing from fetal tissue. This panel’s work, so far, looks only like grand-standing. — The Los Angeles Times, March 30

want to make it even harder, you canadd letters and other characters to fur-ther increase the number of possiblecombinations. These are options on bothiPhones and Android.The iPhone’s self-destruct feature is

something you must turn on in the set-tings, under Touch ID & Passcode. Doso, and the phone wipes itself clean after10 failed attempts. But the 10 attemptsapply to your guesses, too, if you forgetyour passcode, or if your kids start ran-domly punching in numbers. Androidhas a similar feature.Both systems will also introduce wait-

ing periods after several wrong guessesto make it tough to try all combos.Biometrics, such as fingerprint scan-

ners, can act as a shortcut and makecomplex passcodes less of a pain.

USE ENCRYPTIONMuch to the FBI’s displeasure,

iPhones running at least iOS 8 offer full-disk encryption by default. That meansthat the information stored on the phonecan’t be extracted — by authorities or byhackers — and read on another com-puter. If the phone isn’t unlocked first,any information obtained would bescrambled and unreadable.With Android, however, you typically

have to turn that on in the settings.Google’s policy requires many phoneswith the latest version of Android, in-cluding its own Nexus phones, to offer

encryption by default. But, according toGoogle, only 2.3 percent of active An-droid devices currently are running thatversion.

SET UP DEVICE FINDERSFind My iPhone isn’t just for finding

it in Lost Mode. That locks your screenwith a passcode, if it isn’t already, andlets you display a custom message witha phone number to help you get it back.The app comes with iPhones, but you

need to set it up before you lose yourphone. Look for the Find iPhone app inthe Extras folder.Meanwhile, Activation Lock makes it

harder for thieves to sell your device.The phone becomes unusable — it can’t

be reactivated — without knowing itsApple ID. The feature kicks in automat-ically on phones running at least iOS 7.If all else fails, you can remotely wipe

the phone’s data. While your informa-tion will be lost, at least it won’t end upin the hands of a nefarious person.There isn’t anything comparable built

into Android phones, but Google’s An-droid Device Manager app, along with ahandful of others made by third parties,can be downloaded for free from theGoogle Play app store.

BACK UP YOUR PHONEIf you do have to remotely wipe the

phone’s data, it’s comforting to knowthat you won’t lose all your photos andother important data. It’s helpful, too, ifyour toddler dunks your phone in a glassof water.As mentioned before, apps such as

Find My iPhone and Android DeviceManager will allow you to do this, pro-vided you set them up ahead of time.

KEEP YOUR SOFTWARE UP TO DATE

Software updates often contain fixesto known flaws that might give hackersa way into your device. On iPhones,Apple prompts you to get the update.It’s more complicated with Android

because updates need to go through var-ious phone manufacturers and wirelesscarriers first. But do install updateswhen asked.

Two longtime Ketchikan employeesof Allen Marine Tours, AmandaPainter and Eric Lunde, have beenpromoted.For Painter, it means spending the

summers in Juneau as the tour com-pany’s division manager in the capital.Lunde has taken over her job asKetchikan’s operations manager.The company owned by Dave Allen

has its headquarters in Sitka, but itslargest operations are in Juneau.“Ketchikan has three boats operat-

ing this season, while Juneau has 15— and that's not including the newhovercraft tour here,” Painter said in aTuesday phone interview fromJuneau.The promotions took effect in the

fall, Lunde said on Tuesday, butPainter had been working remotelyfrom Ketchikan until her recent moveto Juneau.She said she’ll spend the summer in

Juneau and return in the offseasons toKetchikan, where she’s lived since1996.She “took the call” to move to

Juneau, she said, where Allen Ma-

rine’s operations require a divisionmanager in addition to an operationsmanager.“It’s a large tent,” she said.In addition to the promotion,

Painter said she’s pleased to be backin Juneau — close to where her Alaskamaritime career began.Lunde has worked for Allen Marine

for the past 10 years after starting as arelief captain. The company sails two78-foot catamarans through the MistyFiords National Monument and a 68-foot monohull on a Metlakatla tour.He said that when he started with

Allen Marine, he didn’t have his eyeson management.“I was more interested in being out

on the water and running the boat,but Amanda actually broke me into adesk job,” he said. “I’m grateful — shespent the last couple of years gettingme ready for this.”Lunde, who moved to Ketchikan as

a high school freshman in 1991, saidhe’s hoping for a “fairly routine” sum-mer in Ketchikan managing the tourcompany’s 40 employees, which inthe offseason drops to approximately10 people.In addition to its day trips, Allen

Marine runs an overnight cruise line:Alaskan Dream Cruises.The company launched with two

ships from the now-defunct CruiseWest line. Un-Cruise Adventures alsobought some of the Cruise West ves-sels, according to Lunde.The boutique Alaskan Dream

Cruises runs a one- to two-week routeamong Sitka, Ketchikan and Juneau,he said, using four vessels. Threecame from Cruise West.Lunde noted that the company’s

newest vessel, the 207-foot ChichagofDream, is bound for the KetchikanShipyard in April to complete its refur-bishment ahead of the 2016 season.Painter, who was already managing

Allen Marine’s Ketchikan office whenLunde applied for a job, hired the newoperations manager.She said she was impressed by

Lunde after the two of them filled infor a captain who had walked off ofthe job after a week of training.“You want to have someone on the

team that you know and trust,”Painter said. “... We shared (runs) to re-place that captain. From Day 1, Ericwas really exemplary.”

Simply Bella is opening a seasonalstore downtown named Simply BellaBy the Sea.The upscale housewares store will

open its new location later this monthand will sell goods familiar to SimplyBella regulars, according to co-ownersOrla Roberts and Dana Elerding, butwith an ocean theme.It’s not an entry into the downtown

market for the 8-year-old store, but areturn — the two operated a boutiqueshoe store downtown that folded sev-eral years ago.They said in a Thursday interview

that plans have been in the works onlysince the start of 2016, and that thissummer seemed like a good chance forthe change.The latest store will operate with the

summer season on Mission Street inthe 1,600-square-foot space once usedby Crazy Wolf Studio, which moveddown the street in 2015.“We've always sold our coastal prod-

ucts so well that it just seems like a nat-ural sort of progression for us to dowith our coastal community,” Robertssaid.It isn’t intended to be a full-blown

tourist shop, the owners said, but willcater to cruise passengers.“We're not going to have a ton of

things screaming ‘Ketchikan,’” Elerdingsaid. “A few Alaska-specific items —made-in-Alaska products that we'vegotten from around the state.”Roberts said they sometimes “have to

hunt” to find Alaska-produced goods.The two are trying to lock in prod-

ucts from local artists and are alreadyplanning on stocking art from Brian El-liot and jewelry from Asha Rasler.Elliot has a collection of more than

30 block carvings he uses for cards, hesaid on Tuesday. He has moved most ofhis art in Ketchikan galleries — ScanlonGallery and Starboard Frames andGifts — the tourist market offers “goodexposure” and performs reasonablywell.“People like sending greeting cards

still as opposed to emails, I guess,” El-liot said.Elerding and Roberts are also bring-

ing in more Sitka sea salt from AlaskaPure Sea Salt Co., which has quicklybecome popular in the state and inWashington since the companylaunched in 2007.Jim Michener, who co-owns the busi-

ness with his wife, Darcy, said theirKetchikan market hasn’t kept up withthose in Juneau or even Haines and Sk-agway.Simply Bella sells the Sitka com-

pany’s salt in their primary location,but he said the product hasn’t taken offin Ketchikan both because of lack of in-terest from retailers and the First City’ssummer cycle.“We are trying to not have too many

places carry the product along thecruise ship loop that are open only inthe summer,” Michener said.They aim to avoid summer spikes in

demand that make it difficult to supplyyear-round retailers, he said, but wouldstill like to increase sales in Ketchikan.He said Sitka businesses have a sim-

ilar problem with booms and busts,though the community isn’t as closelytied to the cruise season. “That's I guess why we haven't

courted Ketchikan much,” Michenersaid on Tuesday. “However, I've spent

a lot of time there .. and we obviouslywant to have a presence there.”Elerding and Roberts employ six peo-

ple in their main store, which has itsbusiest season close to Christmas.Their payroll will reach a peak of 10

to 12 people who will float between thetwo stores in the summer.

KETCHIKAN (KDN) — Ucore Rare Metals has begunprocessing rare earth ore from Bokan Mountain throughits pilot plant in Utah.The Canadian company announced on Tuesday that it

has completed the first round of “stress testing” its plant."Our objective now is the processing of the (rare earth

metals) at pilot scale, to be followed by early stage blue-printing of our progress from pilot to production scalewithout delay,” said Ucore CEO Jim McKenzie in the an-nouncement.Ucore holds mining claims on the Bokan-Dotson Ridge

on southern Prince of Wales Island.The sluggish commodities market has slowed progress

on the ground for both Ucore and Heatherdale Re-sources, which has gone silent in the past year on itsNiblack Project, a precious metal mine also located onsouthern Prince of Wales.Ucore has devoted much of its energy to a partnership

with Utah’s IBC Advanced Technologies Inc. to create anew, environmentally friendly process for refining rareearth metals.The metals are used in electronics, vehicles and mili-

tary equipment. China produces most of the world’s sup-ply, but refines the materials using inexpensive but en-vironmentally damaging methods that wouldn’t beallowed in the United States, according to Ucore’s envi-ronmental specialist, Randy MacGillivray.Ucore’s hope for the pilot plant is the creation of an

economical and clean process for refining the metals,which would allow production in North America.The announcement states the company is moving the

pilot plant through other tests this week, including theseparation of specific rare earth elements from theBokan minerals.

Board growingUcore also announced another addition to its advisory

board on Tuesday: Chemist Jack Lifton.Lifton, an expert in technology metals, author and for-

mer CEO, will “be consulting exclusively” on rare earthmetals to Ucore, according to the announcement.In 2010, he co-founded found Technology Metals Re-

search, an Illinois-based consulting firm focused on rareearth elements and other metals used in emerging tech-nology.

New rules might squash Pfizer dealBy The Associated Press

Drugmakers Pfizer Inc. and Allergan Plc are scramblingto determine whether to proceed with their plan to mergeand move Pfizer’s address — but not its operations or head-quarters — to lower-tax Ireland. They are taking anotherlook after the U.S. Treasury Department issued new rulesto make such “tax inversion” deals less profitable.Both companies were mum Tuesday on what they’ll do,

other than to swat swirling rumors that they’re leaning to-ward dropping the inversion.But analysts and tax experts are debating whether the

new, unexpectedly aggressive tax law changes issued lateMonday will kill the deal.Most are saying the new rules likely will — and that the

changes and their timing are squarely aimed at preventingNew York-based Pfizer, the biggest drugmaker based in theU.S., from completing its proposed $160 billion Allerganacquisition and inversion in the second half of the year.“The Obama administration isn’t just sending a message

to Pfizer, it’s sending a message to all U.S. companies con-templating inversions, and that message is ‘Don’t,” said an-alyst Steve Brozak, president of WBB Securities LLC.Investors seem to view the deal as dead.

The defending International Jet Sports Boating Association amateurfreestyle world champion is heading back to the place where he won histitle. This year, however, he will be competing as a professional.Ketchikan’s own Tanner Thomas leaves Wednesday for Lake Havasu City,

Arizona, where he will compete in the first round of the 2016 Jettribe Bestof the West Watercraft Racing series.In addition to earning the amateur freestyle world championship last

year, Thomas also won the amateur freestyle Best of the West title. Thisseason’s Best of the West series features 10 rounds, with the first two takingplace this weekend. The participant with the most points after all 10 roundswill be named series champion.Thomas said the only difference between amateur and professional is the

engine size. Amateur engines are 900cc and professional engines are1,200cc. Beginning this season, event names will feature the engine sizesinstead of using the professional and amateur labels, according to Thomas.The Jet Ski is riding this season is a 2015 Rickter XFS Ninja, which featuresa Dasa 1,200cc motor and a Skat-Trak 155mm pump.Following this weekend, Thomas will remain in Lake Havasu City to com-

pete in the USA Freestyle Championships on April 16.“I’m beginning the season at Lake Havasu on back-to-back weekends; it’s

my favorite place to be Jet Skiing and I’m excited to compete there,” hesaid.The 2010 Ketchikan High School graduate previously has competed at

KETCHIKAN (KDN) — The Ketchikan High Schoolsoccer teams are headed north for their next set ofgames.The Lady Kings opened the season this past week-

end at home, beating Thunder Mountain 2-0 on Fri-day and tying 1-1 on Saturday. Assistant coachWhitney Walters said on Tuesday she hopes the LadyKings continue to do what made them sucessfulagainst Thunder Mountain.“I’d like to see them working together like they did

this past weekend,” Walters said. “Hopefully theycome out with good passing sequences again andspend time working on possession instead of rushingforward too quickly.”The Kings, on the other hand, were out of state

from Thursday through Sunday, playing three gamesin Washington state. Kayhi lost 3-2 to Port Townsendon Thursday and 2-0 to Sequim on Friday. It wrappedup the trip with a 2-0 win in Port Angeles on Satur-day. The Kings spent Monday and Tuesday inKetchikan and will depart for this week’s set ofgames in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley on Wednes-day.In recent years, the Anchorage-area trip occurred

in the middle of the season. This season, with the ex-ception of the Lady Kings’ home series with ThunderMountain, all Southeast Conference games are after,which is a nice change of pace, according to Walters.“We’re at a disadvantage because we only have the

two other schools down here,” she said. “We see thesame girls weekend after weekend and year afteryear. It’s good to go up and see different styles andsee what everyone is doing across the state.”Another change this year is that the teams are stay-

ing in the same area for all three games.“Usually, we have to drive three or four hours

down to the Kenai Peninsula,” Walters said. “Thisyear we’re staying in the general Anchorage area,which will be nice.”Both teams play at the same school during the

three game days. Kayhi plays at Wasilla on Thursday,Palmer on Friday and Colony on Saturday. Each team also will play a team that went to the

state tournament last season. The Wasilla girls andColony boys took fourth in their respective tourna-ments.

INDIANAPOLIS — Breanna Stewart and UConnstand alone. Geno Auriemma, too, after anotherflawless season by the dominating Huskies.UConn won an unprecedented fourth straight

national championship Tuesday night, capping an-other perfect season by routing Syracuse 82-51.Until now, only the UCLA men’s team had wonfour in a row in Division I, rolling to seven consec-utive championships under John Wooden from1967-73. With Tuesday’s victory, Auriemma passedthe Wizard of Westwood with his 11th nationaltitle.“What those 11 championships mean to me is

how many great players I’ve had the opportunityto coach,” Auriemma said. “How many great peoplehave come through the program. It doesn’t matterwhose name is above, or whose name I’m under.As long as I have those players in my memory, I’mgood.”Stewart said when she came to campus four

years ago that she wanted to win four titles. She de-livered on that promise by scoring 24 points andgrabbing 10 rebounds in her final college game.“It’s unbelievable,” Stewart said. “That was our

goal coming in here once we were freshman and tocarry it out and win like this as seniors is unbeliev-able.”The Huskies (38-0) have been nearly unbeatable

since Stewart arrived. They lost four games herfreshman year and only one since. The win overSyracuse was the 75th straight for UConn — all bydouble figures. Stewart and her fellow seniors went24-0 in NCAA tourney games, too.Stewart earned the most outstanding player of

the Final Four all four years of her career. No otherwomen’s player has won it more than twice and

only Lew Alcindor did it three times on the men’sside.The three-time AP Player of the Year has said it

is up to others to decide her place in women’s col-lege basketball lore. There is no denying she is themost accomplished player ever, winning more titles

than fellow UConn greats Diana Taurasi and MayaMoore, who watched from the stands at BankersLife Fieldhouse.Like the other great UConn teams, this version

had a killer instinct. The Huskies scored the firstnine points of the game. Stewart had 10 points inthe first 6 minutes as UConn built a 23-6 lead.When the Orange made a little run to cut its deficitto 25-13, Moriah Jefferson hit a 3-pointer off a niftyplay just before the first-quarter buzzer. UConn’sbig three of Stewart, Jefferson and Morgan Tuck,who have helped the Huskies to an NCAA record151 wins over their four years, combined for 26 ofthe 28 points in the period.They also handled the Orange’s press with pre-

cision passing that led to easy layups. The Huskieswere up 50-23 at the half and extended the lead to33 early in third quarter before Syracuse scored 16straight points to get within 60-43 with 2:02 left inthe period that brought the Orange fans to theirfeet. Consecutive layups by Napheesa Collier re-stored the 20-plus point lead and UConn cruisedfrom there.“Not shocked by how good they are, not shocked

by the things they did in the game. We were defi-nitely prepared for it,” Syracuse coach QuentinHillsman said. “One of the things I told our kids isyou have no reason to be scared when you’re pre-pared and we competed. We didn’t play scared.”Stewart, Tuck and Jefferson left the game for

good with 1:46 left. They shared an embrace to-gether before hugging Auriemma. The trio thenwent down the bench hugging every member ofthe team.“There’s three key ingredients that go into this

kind of success, ‘One, two, three,’” Auriemma saidafterward, pointing to his three seniors.

Classes off, party on:

A Philly bash for

champion VillanovaBy DAN GELSTON

AP Sports WriterVILLANOVA, Pa. — Once Vil-

lanova’s band stopped playing its fightsong, Jay Wright took over as peprally conductor.

“Just for the hell of it, let’s do it,” heexhorted to nearly 2,000 fans.

“When I say, Nova, you say, ‘Na-tion!”

“Nova!”“Nation!” they screamed back at the

head coach.The Wildcats gave their fans plenty

of reason to go wild through MarchMadness — and more fun is ahead.

The national champions were wel-comed back Tuesday at the airportwith a police escort that swept rushhour cars off the interstate and dis-patched them to Villanova’s footballstadium for a rally.

This was just a celebratory appe-tizer.

There’s a bigger bash ahead.Villanova will get a championship

parade Friday.The parade in Philadelphia will

cover five blocks of Market Street andend outside City Hall, skipping thecity’s traditional athletic celebrationroute down Broad Street. The Phillieswere the last major championshipteam to have a parade, in 2008.

Kris Jenkins’ 3-pointer in the finalseconds gave Villanova its secondnational title, following the stunnerover Georgetown in 1985.

“I watched it quite a few times andevery time it’s just like, wow, I can’tbelieve I was that open,” Jenkins saidof his shot at the rally. “Then I can’tbelieve I made the shot. It’s crazy.”

Villanova had lost three times in thefirst weekend as a No. 1 or 2 seedsince a Final Four run in 2009. Eventhe die-hards had little faith that the BigEast champions could pull off a run allthe way to the first weekend in April.

ESPN said Villanova was picked towin it all in only 2.56 percent of itsNCAA brackets and that more usersselected No. 16 Hampton to advanceout of the first round than selected Vil-lanova to win it all.

Now, this surprise champion has in-fused a dose of joy into the city sportsscene.

A city yearning for a title from its dis-appointing big-bankroll pro teams —Eagles, Phillies, 76ers, Flyers — willfete a bunch of amateurs who don’teven play within city limits.

The 76ers’ last title, in 1983, endeda golden age in Philly sports duringwhich the city teams won six champi-onships in 23 years — the Eagles in1960, the Sixers in 1967 and ‘83, theFlyers in 1974 and ‘75 and the Philliesin 1980.

Since ‘83, only the Phillies in ‘08broke through and raised a champi-onship banner.

Consider the bleakness in Philly,the Wildcats won six games over thetournament; the 76ers had only ninewins all season through Monday.

Philly fans can rejoice that Jenkins,Ryan Arcidiacono, Daniel Ochefu,Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson all ac-complished what Donovan McNabb,Allen Iverson and Eric Lindros nevercould — bring home a championship.

Jenkins, Arch and the rest of theWildcats had strands of net tied totheir caps as they greeted fans. Withthree TV helicopters hovering over-head, Ochefu hoisted the trophy.Wright organized a championshipphoto on the stage with hundredsfans as the backdrop. He tweeted thephoto with the caption, “NOVA NA-TION YOU ARE THE BEST!” He’sscheduled to take a congratulatoryphone call from President BarackObama on Wednesday.

The football scoreboard said it all:Villanova 77, Visitor 74.

Wright could have a future as a car-nival barker if wants to retire fromcoaching.

“We’ve got a lot of heart! Josh Hart!”he said, introducing Hart to the crowd.

“Has everybody caught on to thenickname Big Smooth? We like thatnickname? I love saying, BigSmoooooth,” Wright said.

Big Smooth is, of course, Jenkinswho hit the Big Shot in the champi-onship game.

Jenkins’ winner came on a play Vil-lanova works on every day in practice:Jenkins inbounds to Arcidiacono, whoworks the ball up court. Ochefu sets apick near halfcourt to clutter things up.Then Arcidiacono creates.

This time, the senior point guardmade an underhanded flip to Jenkins,who spotted up a pace or two behindthe arc and swished it with Carolina’sIsaiah Hicks running at him. Or, asJenkins put it: “One, two step, shoot‘em up, sleep in the streets.”

That was all it took.Students rushed Monday night from

Villanova’s arena, The Pavilion, onto anearby commercial strip where pubsand restaurants festooned with bal-loons and banners were packed withrevelers, ready to step things up.

“We love you!” Wright told thecrowd. “You guys are the 2016 na-tional champions!”

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL haspicked Twitter to stream its Thursdaynight games.When the league negotiated its latest

deal for the Thursday package, it de-cided to sell the streaming rights sepa-rately for an “over the top” broadcast.This past season, it partnered withYahoo to stream a game from Londonthat took place on a Sunday morning inthe United States.Only the 10 Thursday night games on

CBS and NBC will be streamed throughTwitter under a one-year agreement,the NFL announced Tuesday. They willbe free worldwide on all devicesthrough the Twitter platform. Viewerswill not need to be registered Twitterusers.The NFL Network-only Thursday

games are not part of the deal.The league wants to experiment with

digital broadcasts to see how they mightfit into future strategies. In the mean-time, this also offers a new revenuesource with digital companies eager toget involved in live sports.Twitter is paying more than $10 mil-

lion along with providing promotionalopportunities as part of the deal, accord-ing to a person familiar with the agree-ment. The person spoke on condition ofanonymity because the companies arenot releasing the financial details.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — After a disputed defeat Tuesday night,Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons is certainly no fan of baseball’s newrule on breaking up double plays.“Maybe we’ll come out wearing dresses tomorrow,” Gibbons said. “Maybe

that’s what everybody’s looking for.”The recent change took all of three days to undoubtedly swing the outcome

of a game this season, giving Logan Forsythe and the Tampa Bay Rays a 3-2victory over Toronto that left Gibbons fuming.With the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning, Blue Jays slugger

Edwin Encarnacion hit a grounder to third. After taking a throw from EvanLongoria for the force at second, Forsythe made an errant relay to first thatappeared to allow the go-ahead run to score for Toronto.Rays manager Kevin Cash asked for a replay review, claiming Jose Bautista

violated the new “Chase Utley Rule” governing slides on potential double plays.Replay umpires in New York ruled Bautista’s slide was not directly into the

bag and it illegally hindered Forsythe. The call was changed to a game-endingdouble play that preserved Tampa Bay’s victory.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thomas Hickey scored in over-time as the New York Islanders rallied from two goalsdown in the third period to beat the Washington Capitals4-3 on Tuesday night to clinch a playoff berth.Hickey returned to the game after being cut by a skate

and beat Braden Holtby 2:13 into overtime to completethe comeback.Holtby allowed four goals on 27 shots and lost in his

first attempt to tie Martin Brodeur’s single-season winsrecord.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Scott Servaisgot a beer shower in the Seattle club-house and had a champagne bottle sit-ting on his desk after his first win as abig league skipper.The victory came with a little bonus

— the manager’s first chance to showhis players he won’t back down.Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano

were among four Seattle players tohomer, Servais got in a verbal sparringmatch with reigning AL Manager ofthe Year Jeff Banister, and theMariners pulled away for a 10-2 winover the Texas Rangers on Tuesdaynight.“I’ve said it since the day I got the

job, it’s OK to show emotion once in awhile,” said Servais, who spent sixyears in player development with theRangers. “Obviously, there were somethings that went back and forthtonight, but that’s part of the game.”The managers exchanged words

after former Seattle reliever Tom Wil-helmsen hit Chris Iannetta with apitch. Wilhelmsen, who was ejected,had just given up the second of twohomers along with two doubles with-out getting an out in a six-run Seattleeighth.“Tom got ejected. Emotions got

high,” said Banister, who had a similarrun-in from much closer range withHouston manager A.J. Hinch duringthe Rangers’ run to the AL West titlelast season. “That’s about all I can say.”Cano homered for the second

straight game and on the first pitch asa Ranger from Wilhelmsen, who spenthis first five big league seasons withthe Mariners.Cruz, who reached base four times

and scored three runs, and Kyle Seagerdoubled. After Seth Smith homered —again on the first pitch — Wilhelmsen’snext pitch hit Iannetta on the left thigh.

The Seattle catcher, who was withthe Los Angeles Angels last season,yelled at the right-hander as he walkedup the line. The managers emergedfrom the dugouts, eventually pointingat each other and shouting.

The umpires cleared the field with-out any major trouble, and Luis Sardi-nas, another former Texas player, hithis first major league homer off An-drew Faulkner to cap six straight Seat-tle batters reaching to start the inning.

“Looks like they had a pretty goodidea what I had, and they went aboutit pretty good,” Wilhelmsen said. “Ugly,embarrassed. Don’t ever want to dothat. But I’m not going to let these guysget too comfortable.”

‘Utley Rule’ helpsRays beat Blue Jays

“We’re going out with a bang, we’re going out with a bang, that’s it, no more. Weknew what we’re supposed to do,” Stewart said.Auriemma has never lost in 11 title appearances. While the names may change,

the results are always the same: UConn is still there holding that trophy in the end.This one gave the Hall of Fame coach a sixth undefeated season.To win her fourth championship, Stewart had to beat her hometown team. Fourth-

seeded Syracuse (30-8) had the best season in school history, advancing to its firstNCAA championship game. They hadn’t made it out of the first weekend of thetournament until this year.“I’m really happy for Breanna Stewart, who came to one of my camps. She’s a

great player,” Hillsman said. “When you have a player that great coming from Syra-cuse, that doesn’t happen that often.”These two teams hadn’t played since the Orange left the Big East for the ACC

after the 2013 season. Syracuse has now lost 24 straight against UConn, a skid thatdates to 1996.Cornelia Fondren scored 16 points to lead Syracuse.UNBEATENSWith Lubbock Christian and Thomas More finishing off their undefeated seasons

Monday night in the Division II and III title games, this marks the third year thatall three champions didn’t have a loss. It also happened in 1995 and 2014 — andUConn won the D-I titles those years, too. Lubbock Christian and Thomas Moreplayers held the flag during the national anthem before the game.

the professional level in freeride, but this season is his first competing as aprofessional freestyle rider. His decision to be professional in both wentinto his decision to move to Washington state, where he will live duringthe season.“I’m going professional in both disciplines,” Thomas said, “ and it’s been

very difficult traveling to and from here. Last year from January to Decem-ber, I did 19 round trips from here to the Lower 48. Living down there, itwill cost less time and less money to get to events.”When he wasn’t competeing, Thomas was working for Dawson Construc-

tion on the new wing of the PeaceHealth Ketchikan Medical Center. Whileliving in Washington, he will continued to be employed by Dawson Con-struction as a crane operator. He said he isn’t sure if he will move back toKetchikan at the end of the season.“I have a one-way ticket right now,” he said. “I’ve been very fortunate

with the support I’ve received here. I’d like to give thanks to my amazingfamily, friends and sponsors for unreal levels of support during these bigmoments in my life. Chasing dreams is something I’ve been doing for awhile now and I can say that I’m living the dream.”Other stops on Thomas’ tentative 2016 schedule include Panama City,

Florida; Pensacola, Florida; Parker, Arizona; Lake Perris, California andNysa, Poland.

T-Wolves top WarriorsOAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Coach

Steve Kerr knows just what his playersare going through down the stretch ofa potentially record-setting season.Having stumbled to the finish of a 72-win season as a player with the ChicagoBulls two decades ago, Kerr is watchinghis Golden State Warriors do the same.Stephen Curry had an uncharacteris-

tic off-shooting night, Golden Statecommitted 24 turnovers to squander anearly 17-point lead and the Warriors hitan unexpected obstacle on their questfor 73 wins by losing 124-117 in over-time to the Minnesota Timberwolveson Tuesday night.“You have so much media attention

and everybody talking about breakingthe record and you lose focus a littlebit,” Kerr said. “The same thing hap-pened 20 years ago. We didn’t playwell down the stretch. This doesn’tsurprise me. It’s easy to get lost in allthis stuff. We haven’t been very dialedin of late.”The Warriors (69-9) have lost twice

at home in the past five nights. Theirrecord 54-game home winning streakin the regular season was snapped Fri-day by Boston and they lost again tothe Timberwolves, failing in their firstattempt to join the Bulls as the onlyteams to win 70 games in a season.Chicago also lost two late home

games that season before ending upwith the record 72 wins. The Warriorsnow must sweep their final four gamesto break that mark.

“We put ourselves in a positionwhere it’s a realistic goal,” said Curry,who missed 18 of 25 shots. “We haveto embrace the challenge. Obviouslyit’s not easy to get it done. We’re prov-ing that right now.”Shabazz Muhammad scored a career-

high 35 points, Andrew Wiggins had 32and Karl-Anthony Towns added 20points, 12 rebounds and stellar defensefor the Timberwolves.“It wasn’t even about being a part of

history,” Towns said. “You want to goout there and win. Every game, youwant to go out there and you want tobe a very competitive team that goesout there and wins.”

By DAVID PORTERAssociated Press

NEWARK, N.J. — The University of Northern New Jerseyfielded no sports teams, held no graduation ceremonies andhad no instructors, classes or degree programs. It did havea very attractive website that promised an “exceptional” ed-ucation for foreign students wishing to study in the U.S.The school was a sham from beginning to end — and it

was created by federal authorities, who used it to arrest 21people on charges they conspired to help more than 1,000foreigners fraudulently keep or obtain student or work visasover the past 2½ years.The defendants whose arrests were announced Tuesday

knew the school was bogus, as did the foreigners, who pre-tended to be students there in order to stay in the U.S., au-thorities said. But they didn’t know it was set up as part ofa sting by undercover agents from U.S. Immigration andCustoms Enforcement.Most of the foreigners who benefited from the scam were

from China and India and were already in the U.S. on stu-dent visas, federal prosecutors said. Officials said they havebeen identified and will be dealt with by immigration au-thorities — meaning they could face deportation — butwon’t be prosecuted.The 21 people arrested were described as brokers, re-

cruiters and employers. They were charged with conspiracyto commit visa fraud and to harbor aliens for profit. Thesecond charge carries up to 10 years in prison. The defen-dants awaited court appearances in Newark on Tuesday.Most of the defendants are in the U.S. legally and live in

New York, New Jersey and California. One lives in Illinois,and one in Georgia.The University of Northern New Jersey’s elaborate web-

site promised “a high quality American education to stu-dents from around the world.” The site contained links toacademic programs; a message from the “president,” a Dr.Steven Brunetti, Ph.D.; and photos of attractive young peo-ple sitting around a library table or consulting with a facultymember.The site, which was taken offline Tuesday afternoon,

even had a school seal that appeared to have been modeledon Princeton University’s, except that the fake institution’scolors were bluish-purple and green instead of orange andblack. The university listed as its address a real building inCranford, about 15 miles outside New York City.The middlemen under arrest paid the undercover agents

running the school thousands of dollars to produce paper-work that made it look as if the foreigners were enrolled atUNNJ, federal prosecutors said. That enabled the “students”to maintain their visa status without having to go to class.“This was just another stop on the ‘pay-to-stay’ tour,” U.S.

Attorney Paul Fishman said.Immigration officials have investigated hundreds of sus-

pected fake schools, or “visa mills,” in recent years. Somehave led to charges: Officials at two schools in Californiaand one in Georgia received prison sentences, including onewho got 16 years for visa fraud and other charges.In this case, though, federal authorities set up their own

Fed set up fake university,arrest 21 in bogus visa case

By BECKY BOHRERAssociated Press

JUNEAU — State Corrections Commissioner DeanWilliams defended his appointment Tuesday amid criti-cism from a correctional officers’ union over a scathingreview of the department that Williams helped conduct.The review found outdated policies, cases of lax or in-

formal consequences for apparent employee misconductand mistrust between corrections staff and management.The review, ordered by Gov. Bill Walker after several in-mate deaths, was conducted by Williams, then a specialassistant to the governor, and former FBI agent Joe Han-lon.In releasing the report last November, Walker said he

wanted new leadership in the department. He named WaltMonegan as interim commissioner and in January ap-pointed Williams, a former youth detention center super-intendent. The appointment is subject to confirmation bythe Legislature.During confirmation hearings Tuesday, Williams said he

didn’t seek out the post and knew that since he helpedconduct the review that some people wouldn’t like his ap-pointment. But he said he cares about the department’smission and is working to build trust.“And I am before you because I want to do something

in this job. I don’t want to be something in this job. Thistitle is not why I’m here,” he told the Senate State AffairsCommittee.The Alaska Correctional Officers Association released

what it called a rebuttal to the administrative review thatstates that Williams’ review contained inaccuracies andomissions and was “purposely deceptive in many areas.”The 53-page association report, dated Monday, also statesthat the release of videos showing correctional officers put

them and their families at risk.Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, suggested that in

at least one case involving an inmate death the review didnot give the full picture, leading to an at times pointedback-and-forth between him and Williams. In an interviewlater, Wielechowski said he hadn’t decided whether tosupport his confirmation.Williams said that danger increases when officers are

forced to work overtime, policies haven’t been updated formany years and training is not done regularly. There areways of handling people so they don’t have to die, andthat’s the goal, he said.Williams told reporters he hadn’t seen the union report,

but he stands behind the review he and Hanlon did. Hesaid he’s about “moving on” — doing what he can to helpthe department and be transparent about its problems andnot “rehashing history.”Williams said he has hired as a deputy commissioner

and director of institutions two people who came upthrough the department ranks. He has been visiting facil-ities on weekends, allowing staff to get to know him andspeaking with them about ways to make facilities andtheir jobs safer, he said.Both Williams and the union have cited similar concerns

— issues with staffing and training. The union in its reportsaid “the most significant way the State could remedy thismatter is to make good on its word and address thestaffing, training and safety issues Correctional Officershave been asking to have resolved for years.”Sen. Lesil McGuire, R-Anchorage, said complaints have

been building for years. There needs to be more trainingand a change in culture, she said.While Williams’ appointment may be controversial,

McGuire said she’s glad he is staying on.

KENAI (AP) — An Anchorage mancharged with the fatal shooting of aCalifornia man in 2013 has reached aplea deal with prosecutors.Paul Vermillion, 32, pleaded guilty

Monday to manslaughter in the deathof Genghis Muskox. He had initiallybeen charged with murder as well asmanslaughter. He accepted the pleadeal one day before he was scheduledto go to trial, The Peninsula Clarion re-ported.Vermillion had said Muskox died

during a fight at a Cooper Landing res-idence on Dec. 5, 2013. He admittedto killing the 27-year-old man in boththe initial call to authorities and a sub-sequent interview.

Troopers said in an affidavit theyfound Vermillion unhurt but spatteredwith blood and Muskox with at leasttwo gunshot wounds in his head.Defense Attorney Andrew Lambert,

who has argued that his client shotMuskox in self-defense, said evidencethat provides different details thanthose heard during oral arguments lastyear was a factor in the change ofplea.During a January trial call, District

Attorney Scot Leaders had requestedmore time before trial to look over areport from Lambert detailing ananalysis of the Cooper Landing crimescene that supported Vermillion’s self-defense argument.

The defense is expected to presentits evidence as well as some witnessesat Vermillion’s sentencing, which hasbeen set for early August.Leaders and Lambert said the plea

agreement calls for a prison sentenceof seven to 11 years. The nearly twoand a half years Vermillion has servedin jail and on probation since his ar-rest will count toward his sentence.Lambert said he is still working out

issues regarding his client’s medicalhealth. Vermillion, an Iraq War vet-eran, told Superior Court JudgeCharles Huguelet in court Mondaythat he is taking prescription medica-tion for seizures, anxiety and mi-graines.

Fisheries tax Continued from page 1

Senate declaring that it wanted to see a plan by 2017 onhow the institute would wean itself off of the general fundby 2019. The operating budget has yet to be finalized.After the committee voted to move the bill to House Fi-

nance, chair Rep. Louise Stutes, R-Kodiak, asked for an up-date from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game andthe Alaska Department of Revenue on taxing issues raisedduring public testimony on the bill.Jerry Burnett, a deputy Revenue commissioner, said his

department has added a tax auditor and will be examiningtax records to account for price adjustment checks thatfishermen sometimes get post-season to account forchanges in the market price of fish.Burnett said in an email after the meeting that at least one

processor handles the price adjustments checks in such away that the revenue isn’t notated correctly on tax returns.“So we are not collecting all the tax due,” Burnett wrote.

“As the concern has been brought up by a number of per-sons in the industry, the Department of Revenue will befocusing on this in future audits.”Fish and Game Deputy Commissioner Kevin Brooks said

the department has been working for several months on

recalculating the value of six groundfish species includingYellowfin Sole and Atka mackerel. During public testi-mony, lawmakers heard that the fish were chronically un-dervalued.Combined, they accounted for more than 513.2 million

pounds of flatfish caught in 2014, according to Fish andGame data. However, fishermen paid taxes on the speciesthat are based on a fraction of what they’re worth, Brookssaid after the meeting.One reason for the undervaluation of the fish is that

they’re typically not processed in Alaska.Commercial fisheries division operations manager For-

rest Bowers said the groundfish trawlers are combinedcatcher and processor vessels that will offload fish onto afreighters bound for other countries. “They’re generally notfish that we see in the domestic market,” he said.Brooks said the values of the fish are being recalcu-

lated and Fish and Game intends to send letters to af-fected fishermen within the next month. He said thevalues will be applied to 2015 taxes and will likely gen-erate an additional $1 million to $2 million in tax rev-enue for the state annually.

Abortion threats up NEW YORK (AP) — Threats and vio-

lence directed at U.S. abortion clinics in-creased sharply in 2015, according to theNational Abortion Federation, which at-tributed the surge to the release of un-dercover videos intended to discreditPlanned Parenthood.“In my more than 20 years with NAF,

I have not seen such an escalation ofhate speech, threats and calls to actionagainst abortion providers,” said Vicki

Saporta, the federation’s CEO.According to the federation, death

threats targeting abortion providers in-creased from one in 2014 to 94 in 2015,while incidents of vandalism at clinicsrose from 12 to 67.The most violent occurred in Novem-

ber, when a gunman opened fire at aPlanned Parenthood abortion clinic in Col-orado Springs, Colorado, killing three peo-ple and wounding nine. The man accusedin the attack, Robert Dear, has described

himself as a “warrior for the babies.”Saporta said the level of threats and vi-

olence rose sharply after an anti-abor-tion group called the Center for MedicalProgress began releasing secretlyrecorded videos in July alleging thatPlanned Parenthood sold fetal tissue toresearchers for a profit in violation offederal law. Planned Parenthood deniedany wrongdoing. Investigations by con-gressional panels and states have pro-duced no evidence that it acted illegally.

AROUND THE NATION

By JEFF AMYAssociated Press

JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi’sgovernor signed a law Tuesday allow-ing religious groups and private busi-nesses to deny services to gay andtransgender people — echoing at-tempts made in other states with vary-ing levels of success following lastyear’s Supreme Court ruling that effec-tively legalized gay marriage nation-wide.Saying he was protecting religiousfreedom, Republican Gov. Phil Bryantsigned the bill without hesitation orfanfare just hours after it cleared itsfinal legislative obstacle Monday, andbefore opponents could try to talk himout of it. In addition to opposition fromgay-rights activists, two leading statebusiness associations and a number oflarge corporations in recent days hadcome out against the bill, which allowsreligious groups and some privatebusinesses to refuse service to lesbian,gay, bisexual and transgender peoplebased on religious beliefs.It was unclear whether opponentswould continue to marshal their forcesin an attempt to repeal the measure asthey are doing in North Carolina, how-ever, where the Republican governorsigned a law limiting bathroom optionsfor transgender people and prohibitinglocal communities from enacting anti-discrimination ordinances. The Missis-sippi law also prohibits localcommunities from passing their own

ordinances. The law is slated to takeeffect on July 1.“We’re still gathering troops,” saidErik Fleming, director of advocacyand policy for the American Civil Lib-erties Union of Mississippi. “We’redisappointed. We were hoping that thebusiness community stepping up theway they did, and people of faith,would at least have him reflect on thedecision.”Republican Georgia Gov. NathanDeal vetoed a similar religious objec-tions bill last week after big companiesincluding Coca-Cola, Delta Airlinesand others expressed vehement oppo-sition, and national sports organiza-tions hinted that they might hold theirimportant events elsewhere. In NorthCarolina, an economic backlash broad-ened Tuesday, with PayPal announcing

it has canceled a major expansion inthe state. South Dakota’s governor ve-toed a similar proposal limiting bath-room options for transgender people.Such measures began emerging invarious states in response to a U.S.Supreme Court decision last summerthat effectively legalized gay marriagenationwide.Bryant said in a statement that hesigned House Bill 1523 because hewanted to protect “sincerely held reli-gious beliefs and moral convictions ofindividuals, organizations and privateassociations from discriminatory ac-tion by state government or its politicalsubdivisions.”Rep. Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, alawyer and Southern Baptist ministerwho shepherded the measure throughthe House, said under the law, “people

can not only believe what they believe,but act in accordance with their beliefsand not violate their conscience.”Opponents of the law, however, seeit as a sword against LGBT people, nota shield for Christian conservatives.“This bill flies in the face of the basicAmerican principles of fairness, justiceand equality and will not protect any-one’s religious liberty,” Jennifer Riley-Collins, executive director of theAmerican Civil Liberties Union of Mis-sissippi, said in a statement. “Far fromprotecting anyone from ‘governmentdiscrimination’ as the bill claims, it isan attack on the citizens of our state,and it will serve as the MagnoliaState’s badge of shame.”The law’s stated intention is to pro-tect those who believe that marriageshould be between one man and onewoman, that sexual relations shouldonly take place inside such marriages,and that male and female genders areunchangeable.“I think if you read it, you under-stand it’s a religious freedoms bill,”said House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, the bill’s primary author.The law would, for example, allow achurch group to decline housing oradoption services to gay couples. Ahotel could refuse to rent a ballroomfor a same-sex marriage and a jewelercould refuse to sell rings to a gay cou-ple. Any employer or school could re-fuse to allow a transgender person touse the bathroom of their choice.

DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co.plans to build a new $1.6 billion autoassembly plant in Mexico, creatingabout 2,800 jobs and shifting small-carproduction from the U.S. at a timewhen moving jobs south of the borderhas become a major issue in the U.S.presidential campaign.The company announced the plantin the San Luis Potosi state Tuesdaywithout saying specifically what carsit will build there. But the UnitedAuto Workers union has said Fordplans to shift production of the Focuscompact and C-Max small gas-electrichybrid from suburban Detroit to Mex-ico, where the cars can be made atlower cost and more profitably.The UAW’s new four-year contractwith Ford, signed last year, guaranteesnew vehicles for the Wayne, Michi-gan, assembly plant and a $700 mil-lion investment that preserves theplant’s 3,924 jobs. Union membershave said they expect the factory toget a new version of the Ranger smallpickup and a new small SUV calledthe Bronco.The announcement came on the dayof the key Wisconsin primary anddrew a strong response from Republi-can front-runner Donald Trump, who

called Ford’s move “an absolute dis-grace.” Trump has railed about corpo-rate America moving jobs to Mexico totake advantage of what he calls a lop-sided trade deal and has vowed torewrite the 1994 North American FreeTrade Agreement, tax imports andpunish U.S. companies includingFord.Trump said in a statement thattransactions like Ford’s will not hap-pen when he is president. “Cheap

goods are not cheapwhen you considerthe cost of lowerwages and higherunemployment,” hesaid, adding that hewould enforcetrade rules and re-duce the incentivefor companies tosend business else-where.In response, Fordhighlighted its in-vestments in theU.S., saying thatthe companyspends more than80 percent of itscapital in the U.S.

and has committed to spending an-other $8 billion to $9 billion in thenext four years.“Since 2011 we’ve invested over $10billion in our facilities. We’ve hiredover 25,000 people” in the U.S., CEOMark Fields said last month at theNew York auto show.Auto and other manufacturing jobs

having been moving south for years.Mexican auto production more thandoubled in the past decade, and theconsulting firm IHS Automotive ex-pects it to rise another 50 percent tojust under 5 million vehicles by 2022.U.S. production is expected to in-crease only 3 percent, to 12.2 millionvehicles, in the next 7 years.Joe Hinrichs, Ford’s president of theAmericas, said Ford is a global com-pany that builds cars where it makesthe most financial sense. He con-firmed new plant would build smallcars starting in 2018. “We’ve talkedabout improving our small-car prof-itability and this is an important partof that,” he said Tuesday in an inter-view with The Associated Press.Under the new UAW contract, Fordfactory workers get about $60 perhour in wages and benefits, while autoworkers in Mexico average about $8per hour, according to the Center forAutomotive Research, a Michigan in-dustry think tank.

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco became the first place in the countryTuesday to require businesses to provide fully paid leave for new parents inwhat was hailed as the latest move to address income inequality in the nation.The measure approved unanimously by the Board of Supervisors will givenew mothers and fathers six weeks of fully paid time off, a rarity now offeredto some government sector workers and some private employees, particularlythose who work in the tech industry.“The vast majority of workers in this country have little or no access to paidparental leave, and that needs to change,” Supervisor Scott Wiener, whopushed the measure, said at a news conference before the vote.The measure requires another formal vote by the board next week as wellas approval by MayorEd Lee, who says he ishappy to sign it.Small business own-ers complained that themandate is the latest ina long list of city man-dates — including paidsick leave and healthcoverage — that unfairlytargets them.“They don’t necessar-ily have the resources,they can’t absorb the in-creases in cost, and theyfeel like it’s kind of re-lentless, it’s one thingafter the next,” said DeeDee Workman, vicepresident of public pol-icy at the San FranciscoChamber of Commerce.The issue of paidparental leave is gaining momentum across the country much like the debateover a higher minimum wage.Paid leave has become a topic in the presidential campaign as companies,especially in Silicon Valley, start offering better benefits. Twitter announcedTuesday that it would offer up to 20 weeks of fully paid leave for new parentsin the U.S. starting May 1.San Francisco approved a $15 hourly minimum wage for workers in 2014.California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation Monday mandating that amountfor the entire state.The U.S. lags other countries in providing parental leave and is the onlymajor industrialized nation that doesn’t require paid leave.

Ford to build factory in Mexico

Natural gas well blowout could cause blackoutsLOS ANGELES (AP) — A natural gas well blowout last year that crippled amajor energy supply for Southern California could lead to blackouts in the re-gion over as many as 14 days this summer, energy officials said Tuesday.State agencies that studied the impact of the partial shutdown of the AlisoCanyon gas storage field proposed an action plan to prevent power outages butconcluded they “will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of gas shortages thissummer that are large enough to cause electricity interruptions for the region’sresidents and businesses.”The report comes as state regulators investigate the cause of what scientistssaid was the largest-known release of climate-changing methane in U.S. history.The Southern California Gas Co. well leaked out of control almost four monthsand sickened Los Angeles residents who lived nearby, displacing more than6,000 families from their homes.The report anticipates a typical summer without other supply problems. If it’shotter than usual, or other problems crop up, the risk of blackouts would increase.

Man kills wife, sonLOS ANGELES (AP) — Police be-

lieve the primary reason a Los Angelesman shot and killed his adult son wasto cover up for the stabbing death ofhis wife the previous day, and notchiefly because the son was gay, asprosecutors had alleged.LAPD homicide Detective John Do-

erbecker tells the Los Angeles TimesTuesday that his son’s sexuality was acontributing factor for Shehada Issa,69, in the killing, but not the main fac-tor. Officers discovered the body ofthe wife, Rabihah Issa, while investi-gating the killing of the son, Amier

Issa, on March 29. “Dad killed momand then killed his son to cover it up,”Doerbecker said. Police officers foundthe son’s body outside the familyhome in the city’s North Hills area.The father has been charged with

killing his son in a hate crime becausehe was gay. He has not yet beencharged in the killing of the wife.

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump would try to forceMexico to pay for a border wall by targeting billions ofdollars in remittances sent by immigrants living in theU.S., according to a memo released by his campaignTuesday.The memo outlines in new detail how Trump would

try to compel Mexico to pay for the 1,000-mile wallhe’s promised to build along the Southern border if hebecomes president.In his proposal, Trump threatened to change a rule

under the USA Patriot Act, an anti-terrorism law, to cutoff a portion of the funds sent to Mexico throughmoney transfers known as remittances. His plan wouldalso bar non-Americans from wiring money outside ofthe U.S. unless they can provide documentation estab-lishing their legal status in the country.

Trump said he would withdraw the threat if Mexicomakes a one-time payment to finance the wall.“It’s an easy decision for Mexico: make a one-time

payment of $5-10 billion to ensure that $24 billion con-tinues to flow into their country year after year,” thememo reads.“Good luck with that,” President Barack Obama said

Tuesday in response to questions about Trump’s pro-posal. He warned of the ramifications such a planwould have on the Mexican economy which, in turn,would drive more immigrants to cross the border insearch of jobs.“People expect the president of the United States and

the elected officials in this country to treat these prob-lems seriously, to put forward policies that have beenexamined, analyzed are effective, where unintendedconsequences are taken into account,” Obama said.“They don’t expect half-baked notions coming out of

the White House. We can’t afford that.”The billionaire businessman has estimated his pro-

posed wall would cost between $10 billion and $12 bil-lion, and has argued that it would protect the countryfrom illegal border crossings as well as halting drugshipment. Mexico’s President Enrique Peña Nieto hassaid his country will not pay for any such wall.The U.S. is home to about 12 million Mexicans, some

living here illegally, according to various research or-ganizations that monitor trends in immigration. Theyand other migrants use money transfer agents or banksto send money home, often with the objective of sup-porting their families. The Mexican central bank re-ported that money sent home by Mexicans overseas hitnearly $24.8 billion last year, overtaking oil revenuesfor the first time as a source of foreign income. Cuttingoff those transfers would therefore represent a signifi-cant blow to the Mexican economy.

Democrat BernieSanders triumphed over Hillary Clintonbut still faces a mathematically difficultpath to the White House.Trump’s defeat capped one of the

worst periods of his campaign, a brutalstretch that highlighted his weaknesseswith women and raised questionsabout his policy depth. While the bil-lionaire businessman still leads the Re-publican field, Cruz and an array ofanti-Trump forces hope Wisconsin sig-nals the start of his decline.“Tonight is a turning point,” Cruz told

cheering supporters at a victory rally.“It is a call from the hardworking peo-ple of Wisconsin to America. We havea choice. A real choice.”Cruz, a Texas senator with a compli-

cated relationship with Republicanleaders, also cast his victory as a mo-ment for unity in a party that has beenroiled by a contentious primary cam-paign.But Trump was unbowed. His cam-

paign put out a biting statement: “TedCruz is worse than a puppet — he is aTrojan horse, being used by the partybosses attempting to steal the nomina-tion from Mr. Trump.”Sanders’s sweeping win in virtually

every county in Wisconsin, except Mil-waukee, gives him greater incentive tokeep competing against Clinton. But hestill trails her in the pledged delegatecount and has so far been unable to per-suade superdelegates— the party offi-cials who can back any candidate — todrop their allegiance to the former sec-retary of state and back his campaign.At a raucous rally in Wyoming,

Sanders cast his victory as a sign ofmounting momentum for his cam-paign.“With our victory tonight is Wiscon-

sin, we have now won 7 out of 8 of thelast caucuses and primaries,” he de-clared.The results in Wisconsin make it

likely both parties’ primaries will con-tinue deep into the spring, drapingfront-runners Trump and Clinton in un-certainty and preventing both fromfully setting their sights on the generalelection.With an overwhelming white elec-

torate and liberal pockets of voters,Wisconsin was favorable territory forSanders. In a sign of Clinton’s low ex-pectations in the Midwestern state, shespent Tuesday night at a fundraiserwith top donors in New York City.Clinton congratulated Sanders on

Twitter and thanked her supporters inWisconsin. “To all the voters and volun-teers who poured your hearts into thiscampaign: Forward!” she wrote.Sanders’ win will net him a handful

of additional delegates, but he’ll still lagClinton significantly. With 86 delegatesat stake in Wisconsin, Sanders will pickup at least 45 and Clinton will gain atleast 31.That means Sanders must still win 67

percent of the remaining delegates anduncommitted superdelegates in order towin the Democratic presidential nomi-nation.While Trump has been the dominant

force in the Republican race, he battleda series of campaign controversies inthe lead-up to Wisconsin, including hiscampaign manager’s legal problems fol-lowing an altercation with a female re-porter and his own awkward stumblesin clarifying his views on abortion. Wis-

consin’s Republican establishment, in-cluding Gov. Scott Walker, has alsocampaigned aggressively against thebusinessman.Exit polls in the state underscored the

concerns about Trump that are surgingthrough some corners of the Republi-can Party. A majority of Republican vot-ers said they’re either concerned orscared of a potential Trump presidency.With his victory Tuesday, Cruz won

at least 33 Wisconsin delegates, whileTrump carried at least three. Six dele-gates are still up for grabs, pending theoutcome in two congressional districts.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In Wis-consin, Democrats went with thecandidate who excited them themost, and Republicans chose thecandidate who wasn’t DonaldTrump.As Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won the

state’s GOP primary, exit polls showhis victory appeared to be drivenmore by fear of Trump than excite-ment about Cruz. In fact, a majorityof Wisconsin Republican voters saythey’re either concerned or scared ofa potential Trump presidency.On the Democratic side, voters

chose Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders,who they saw as the more exciting,inspiring and honest candidate, ac-cording to early results of exit pollsconducted for The Associated Pressand television networks by EdisonResearch.But even then, more voters view

former Secretary of State HillaryClinton as the candidate most likelyto beat Trump, who has been the Re-publican front-runner throughout theprimaries.Other highlights from the exit

polls:SCARED OR CONCERNEDA majority of Republican voters

say they’re either concerned orscared of a potential Trump presi-dency, exit polls show. Nearly 4 in 10say they’re scared about what Trumpwould do as president, and about 2in 10 say they’re concerned.At the same time, though, about a

quarter of Wisconsin GOP primaryvoters say they’re excited aboutTrump, while less than 15 percentsay that of either Cruz or Ohio Gov.John Kasich.But the exit poll shows Republi-

cans could face a challenge in unitingtheir party whether Trump or Cruzemerges as the eventual nominee. Athird of Wisconsin GOP voters saythat if Trump and Clinton are thenominees they’d vote for a thirdparty candidate, stay home or evenvote for Clinton. Three in ten say thatof a Cruz versus Clinton matchup.

EXCITEMENT, REALISTIC, HONEST

About 7 in 10 Democratic primaryvoters in Wisconsin said they are ex-cited or optimistic about what eithercandidate would do in office, butthey’re more likely to be excitedabout Sanders. About a third saythey’re excited about what he woulddo, while about half as many say thatabout Clinton.Nearly 60 percent say Sanders in-

spires them more about the future ofthe country. But more than half alsosay Clinton is the candidate bestsuited to beat Trump. Three-quarterssay Clinton has realistic policies,more than the two-thirds who saythat of Sanders.Democratic voters were more

likely to describe Sanders than Clin-ton as honest. About nine in 10 sayso of Sanders, while about 6 in 10 sayso of Clinton.

DEAR ABBY: I am a single father ofteenage boys. I have always played anactive role in my children’s lives, phys-ically, emotionally and financially. Myolder son lives with me; my youngersons live with their mother.I am bisexual and have always been

attracted to both men and women. Ittook me a long time to admit it to my-self. I suffered from depression formany years as I struggled with my sex-ual identity. Unfortunately, I was diag-nosed with HIV. Since then, I have beenon medication and live a very healthylifestyle.None of my children knows about my

sexuality or my diagnosis. I havewanted to tell them for a while now, butI can never bring myself to do it. I’mafraid that if I tell them, they’ll beashamed of me and it will add unneces-sary stress in their lives. On the otherhand, I’m tired of keeping secrets. Fur-thermore, I worry about the possibilitythat they could find out from someoneelse.All four of us will be together for an

event in a couple of months. I feel thiscould be a good opportunity to tellthem. Or should I tell them on theirown, individually? Am I selfish forwanting to tell my children? Or am Ifoolish for not telling them? — KEEP-ING SECRETSDEAR KEEPING SECRETS: If

your children ask you about yourhealth or your sexual orientation,do not lie to them. However, I see noreason for you to make a blanket an-nouncement about this now be-cause I sincerely believe that mostyoung people do not care to know. If you wind up partnering with

another man, they will at somepoint begin to draw their own con-clusions. If your health takes a turnfor the worse, they will need toknow your status. Until then, myadvice is to keep mum.DEAR ABBY: I want to get my belly

button pierced this year for my 15thbirthday, but my parents said no. It’sjust getting my belly button pierced.They let me dye my hair and get my

cartilage pierced — so why not my bellybutton? It’s not going to affect my parents

whatsoever. It’s my body. I think theyshould let me do reasonable things to it,like get my belly button pierced. I justdon’t get it. — UNPIERCED IN WIS-CONSINDEAR UNPIERCED: Your parents

may be afraid that if you get yourbelly button pierced you will wantto expose that area of your body toshow it off — and they would preferthat you dress more modestly untilyou’re older. They could also be con-cerned that your piercing might be-come infected. Whatever theirreason, as a minor, you should notget anything pierced without theirpermission.

Rolling Stones planning new albumLONDON (AP) — The Rolling Stones are planning to release a new album,possibly this year, guitarist Ronnie Wood said Monday.The British rockers last released a studio album in 2005, but Wood said theyhave been in the studio and recorded some new material and some blues cov-ers.“We went in to cut some new songs, which we did,” the 68-year-old Woodsaid. “But we got on a blues streak. We cut 11 blues in two days.“They are extremely great cover versions of Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walter,among other blues people. But they really sound authentic.”When asked when the new material would be released, Wood said only: “Thisyear.”“When we heard them back after not hearing them for a couple of months,we were, ‘Who’s that? It’s you,’” Wood said. “It sounded so authentic.”The Rolling Stones, which started as a blues band in 1962, just wrapped atour of Latin America with a free show in Cuba on March 25. The band thenheaded to London for Monday’s opening of “Exhibitionism,” a vast exhibitionof the group’s history at the Saatchi Gallery.Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Wood arrived together at thegallery, but Richards wouldn’t go into any detail on the recent recording ses-sions.

Rocket explosion investigatedTHOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Investi-

gators on Tuesday were trying to figure outwhat caused a homemade rocket attached toa skateboard to explode, killing a SouthernCalifornia high school student and injuringhis friend.Bernard Moon, 18, of Thousand Oaks died

after the blast Monday night. A 17-year-old

had minor injuries and was released fromthe hospital Tuesday.The two senior honor students were from

Thousand Oaks High School. The blast tookplace in a courtyard at Madrona ElementarySchool in Thousand Oaks.The teens were experimenting with a

skateboard attached to a homemade rocketas an engine, authorities said. The rocket was

about a foot long and three-quarters of aninch in diameter, Ventura County sheriff’sCapt. Garo Kuredjian said.“It wasn’t meant to go up into the sky,” he

said of the rocket. “It was meant to go hori-zontally to propel a skateboard.”The blast appeared to be “a tragic acci-

dent,” he said.It was unclear whether anyone was trying

to ride the skateboard at the time, he said.Details of the rocket’s design and the

chemicals used were not immediately re-leased.Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts were meeting

at Madrona Elementary when the schoolsuddenly shook.A nurse who was attending the meeting

tried to help Moon, but he died at a hospital.

IN BRIEF

By VLADIMIR ISACHENKOVAssociated Press

MOSCOW — More than two decades after a conflict killed about 30,000 peopleand displaced 1 million others, tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan overthe region of Nagorno-Karabakh have exploded again, with both sides engagedin artillery duels, rocket barrages and tank attacks.A cease-fire declared Tuesday after three days of intense battles raised hopes

for restoring calm to the area in the South Caucasus mountains. But fears loomof a possible escalation in fighting, with Turkey strongly backing Azerbaijan andRussia obliged to protect Armenia by a mutual security pact.Clashes that began over the weekend marked the worst violence since a sepa-

ratist war ended in 1994 and left Nagorno-Karabakh — officially a part of Azer-baijan — under the control of local ethnic Armenian forces and the Armenianmilitary. Armenian forces also occupy several areas outside the Karabakh region.Peace talks under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation

in Europe, co-sponsored by Russia, the United States and France, have draggedon ever since without producing any visible results.While Armenia appeared happy with the status quo, energy-rich Azerbaijan,

which has lost control of about one-seventh of its territory in the conflict, hasbeen desperate to change the situation.Both countries blamed each other for the latest hostilities, but many observers

believe that Azerbaijan’s military unleashed an offensive aiming to seize someground in order to make Armenia more likely to discuss a compromise in peacetalks.“Baku knows that one of its few tools of pressure on the Armenians is to violate

the cease-fire and remind them that the status quo can be shaken,” Thomas deWaal, an expert on the region with the Carnegie Endowment, wrote in a com-mentary.Azerbaijani leaders in Baku long have promised to win back the occupied lands,

and President Ilham Aliyev may have been forced to act while a reversal in thecountry’s oil fortunes has tested public support for his government.

True or False?Female pets should be allowed to go through one or two heat cycles before they are spayed or they won’t be strong and healthy adults.

Not true. There is no credible peer-reviewed research which indicates that female animals should be allowed to go through a heat cycle

prior to spaying. Waiting may actually increase the chance of developing mammary tumors.

Male dogs should not be neutered before six months of age.Some research suggests that large-breed male dogs may benefi t from

waiting until four months of age to neuter, but the evidence is not conclusive.

Spaying and neutering causes animals to be overweight.Nope. Overfeeding and lack of exercise causes them to be overweight,

just like with people.

It’s dangerous to spay or neuter too early.False. After World War II, more people started altering their pets. The surgical and anesthetic procedures at the time required an age of six

months before spaying or neutering. Many people still think this holds true, but modern protocols are so good that pets can now be

altered as early as eight weeks.

chorage, Fairbanks, Homer, Juneau, Kenai, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Nome, North Pole,Palmer, Valdez, Wasilla and Wrangell, according to an Anchorage Youth Courtpress release. Brown said 28 members are currently active in KYC, and though there is only

one graduating senior in this year’s program, as many as seven volunteers willgraduate in 2017. Ketchikan students from ages 11 through 17 can sign up forthe program, which requires the student to complete a nine-week training courseand pass the youth court bar exam before being inducted as a member.

Associated PressLONDON — Iceland’s prime minis-

ter became the first major figurebrought down by the leak of millionsof records on offshore accounts as thescrutiny intensified around officialsfrom other countries, includingUkraine’s president.Icelandic leader Sigmundur David

Gunnlaugsson stepped aside Tuesdayamid outrage over revelations he hadused a shell company to shelter largesums while Iceland’s economy was incrisis.Officials in several other countries

also are facing questions about possi-bly dubious offshore tax-avoidanceschemes, following the publication ofthe names of rich and powerful peo-ple linked to the leaks, dubbed thePanama Papers.They include Ukraine President

Petro Poroshenko who, the leaksshow, set up an offshore holding com-pany to move his candy business off-shore, possibly depriving Ukraine ofmillions of dollars in tax revenue.Poroshenko insists he has done

nothing wrong and hasn’t managedhis assets since being elected. Still,some adversaries are calling for his re-moval from office.China and Russia, meanwhile, sup-

pressed news of the leaks and rejectedany allegations of impropriety by gov-ernment officials named in the releaseof more than 11 million financial doc-uments from a Panamanian law firm.The reports are from a global group

of news organizations working withthe Washington-based InternationalConsortium of Investigative Journal-ists. They have been processingrecords from the Mossack Fonsecalaw firm that were first leaked to Ger-many’s Sueddeutsche Zeitung news-paper.One of the firm’s co-founders,

Ramon Fonseca, said it has filed acomplaint with Panamanian prosecu-tors, alleging that the data was stolenby a hacking attack from somewherein Europe, but he declined to give anydetails.The announcement that Gunnlaugs-

son was stepping down as leader ofIceland’s coalition government camefrom his deputy, Sigurdur Ingi Jo-hannsson, who is also the country’sagriculture minister. It followed therefusal by Iceland’s president to dis-solve parliament and call an election,and after thousands of Icelandersprotested outside the parliament

building in Reykjavik.No replacement has

been named, and PresidentOlafur Ragnar Grimssondid not immediately con-firm that he had acceptedthe resignation. Late Tues-day, a government state-ment said Gunnlaugssonhad suggested Johannssontake over as prime ministerfor “an unspecified amountof time,” while Gunnlaug-gson would stay on asleader of his center-rightProgressive Party.Gunnlaugson has denied

any wrongdoing and saidhe and his wife have paidall their taxes. He also said his finan-cial holdings didn’t affect his negotia-tions with Iceland’s creditors duringthe country’s acute financial crisis.The leaked documents allege that

Gunnlaugsson and his wife set up acompany called Wintris in the BritishVirgin Islands with the help of thePanamanian law firm. Gunnlaugssonis accused of a conflict of interest forfailing to disclose his involvement inthe company, which held interests infailed Icelandic banks that his govern-ment was responsible for overseeing.

Iceland, a volcanicNorth Atlantic island na-tion with a population of330,000, was rocked by aprolonged financial crisiswhen its main commercialbanks collapsed within aweek of one another in2008.Since then Icelanders

have weathered a deep re-cession and been sub-jected to tough capitalcontrols — another reasonthe prime minister’s off-shore holdings ranklemany.China, on the other

hand, dismissed as“groundless” reports that the Pana-manian law firm had arranged off-shore companies for relatives of atleast eight present or past members ofthe Communist Party’s PolitburoStanding Committee, the apex ofpower in China.Among those named in the leaked

documents was the brother-in-law ofPresident Xi Jinping. State media haveignored the reports and searches ofwebsites and social media for thewords “Panama documents” wereblocked.

China’s Foreign Ministryspokesman Hong Lei said he wouldnot discuss the reports further and de-clined to say whether the individualsnamed would be investigated.Shell companies aren’t in them-

selves illegal. People or companiesmight use them to reduce their taxbill legally, by benefiting from low taxrates in countries like Panama, theCayman Islands and Bermuda. Butthe practice is frowned upon, partic-ularly when used by politicians, whothen face criticism for not contribut-ing to their own countries’economies.Because offshore accounts and com-

panies also hide the names of the ulti-mate owners of investments, they canbe used to illegally evade taxes orlaunder money.Mossack Fonseca says it obeys all

laws relating to company registrationsand does not advise people how toevade taxes.Members of the Group of 20 —

which includes China — have agreedon paper to tighten laws relating toshell companies and make sure au-thorities can find out who the realowners are. Actual legislation at thenational level has lagged behind thepromises, however.

WASHINGTON — Congressional officials say the Obama administrationhas decided to transfer leftover money from the largely successful fightagainst Ebola to combat the growing threat of the Zika virus.Most of the $600 million or so would be devoted to the Centers for Dis-

ease Control, which is focused on research and development of anti-Zikavaccines, treating those infected with the virus and combating the mos-quitoes that spread it.The officials spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because they

were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter before an official an-nouncement expected from the White House on Wednesday.Researchers fear Zika causes microcephaly, a serious birth defect in

which a baby’s head is too small, as well as other threats to the childrenof pregnant women infected with it.President Barack Obama has asked for about $1.9 billion in emergency

money to fight Zika but the request has stalled in the GOP-controlled Con-gress. While the administration has acknowledged that substantial Ebolafunding is left over, it has already committed much of it to helping at least30 other countries prevent, detect and respond to future outbreaks andepidemics.The upcoming move comes as there’s greater urgency to battling the

virus as summer weather leads to mosquito season and a broader spreadof the virus.

Houghtaling Elementary Schoolparent Julie Tibbles, who heads theschool’s parent-led Safety Commit-tee, has a backup plan if she’s late topick up her two daughters fromschool — the kindergartener andthird-grader are supposed to walk tonearby Thatcher Way, where Tibbleswould meet them, so the girls canavoid an unsupervised crossing Bara-nof Avenue, which Tibbles said canget dangerously busy before andafter school. “(One day in October 2015), I was

parked across the street (from themeeting point), and I saw them walk-ing by,” Tibbles said on Tuesday.“The rule is they're supposed to holdhands, and my 5-year-old got mad atmy 8-year-old and wouldn't hold herhand, so I saw them walking downthe sidewalk and I noticed that theyweren't walking together, so Ihollered my 5-year-old's name to tellher to stop, and she just ran out inthe street.” The kindergartener ran between

two parked cars to cross Baranof Av-enue to meet her mother withoutchecking for cars, Tibbles said. “She ran out in front of a good

friend of mine, and by the grace ofGod, she was able to stop literallyinches from my daughter,” Tibblessaid. “So is it a matter of time (beforea Houghtaling student gets hurt)? Ab-solutely, it was a matter of time.”That close call and others Tibbles

has witnessed or experienced herselfprompted her to start the parentSafety Committee. Tibbles said she started raising

concerns about the before- and after-school traffic at Houghtaling in Jan-uary 2015, especially concerningspeeding drivers and cars parked inno-parking zones. In the past 18months, the four-person safety com-mittee has approached the KetchikanSchool District and Ketchikan Gate-way Borough about making changesto the school’s parking lots to im-prove safety. After she met with Ketchikan

School District SuperintendentRobert Boyle this past November,Tibbles said the ball got rolling. “One thing led to another — the

borough got involved, and therewere plans drawn up for a drive-through area,” Tibbles said, adding,“we had a community meeting aboutit, and everybody seemed to like (theoption in which), on the other side ofthe front doors, they're going to take

out the grassy area and the parkinglot and make it into a loop for peopleto pull in and let their kids out off ofBaranof, so they're not getting out onthe curb anymore — they're gettingout right next to the school. The nextstep was there's no money.” Though the Ketchikan School

Board made the drop-off zone the toppriority in the district’s capital im-provement projects list in January,progress on the drop-off zone andother projects on the list — includingroof replacements at Houghtalingand security upgrades at KetchikanHigh School — will likely be stalledfor several budget cycles as the statedeals with the financial crisis fromdecreased oil prices. The drop-offzone is tentatively slated to cost$400,000, though the project willlikely cost more. However, the state’s dismal finan-

cial status hasn’t stopped progress atHoughtaling — Tibbles and a team ofsix other parent volunteers began acrossing guard program before andafter school at Houghtaling on March28. Tibbles said the parent volunteers

were trained by the city’s port oper-ations manager, Dave Timmerman,who leads downtown’s crossingguard program during the summerseason. Now a crew of volunteers monitor

three crosswalks near the school —two in front of the school and one atThatcher Way. However, Tibbles said the volun-

teer crew is still short-staffed to mon-itor all the problem spots they’veidentified within walking distance ofthe school, including the intersec-tions of Baranof Avenue and Car-lanna Lake Road, Baranof Avenueand Jackson Street, and JacksonStreet and 7th Avenue — wheredozens of children are now droppedoff after school. Ketchikan School District Business

Manager Adam Thompson, whomanages school transportation, saida bus from Fawn Mountain Elemen-tary School that used to drop some35 students off in front of Houghtal-ing changed its route to drop kids offat Jackson and 7th. “It was an easy change to make,

because it was one big stop that letsoff 35 to 40 students, and we justchanged it so they're not getting letout right in front of the school;they're getting let out on Jackson and7th,” Thompson said. The change was implemented after

spring break. Though Tibbles said

the transition has been “a bit rough,”she said she’s seen a difference inthe past two weeks’ traffic. “It has significantly reduced the

traffic on Baranof,” Tibbles said.“While I didn't ask (the district) tomove the bus stop, I think there havebeen some positive changes (as a re-sult), at least at Houghtaling.” The changes also happen on an in-

dividual level. Tibbles said theschool recently held a safety assem-bly for students that talked aboutstreet safety and the pedestrians’rules of the road. “The kids were really responsive,

and they've been great,” Tibbles said.“They've followed the rules, (and)they've been nice and respectful. Wehaven't had any issues with any ofthe kids. The parents, we're stilltraining them.” The school has sent out newslet-

ters to parents detailing drivers’ re-sponsibilities, and the KetchikanPolice Department has sent officers

to the school to inform disobedientdrivers of the rules, according to Tib-bles. The biggest thing parents can do,

though, is to be a good example fortheir kids, according to Tibbles. Houghtaling parent Keith Hedlind,

who moved to Ketchikan in January,said there’s a decent amount of traf-fic before and after school at Hough-taling, though not enough that heconsiders it a problem. “We're from Southern California,

so traffic up here is nothing likewhere we're from, but it's a school,so yeah, there's traffic,” Hedlindsaid. “Personally, I don't think it's toobad.”However, Hedlind said he’s

conscious of his responsibility as aparent to teach his first-grader,Karli, how to navigate a busy roadsafely. “I make sure I get out and walk her

across the street (at the crosswalk)and drop her off over here” on school

grounds, Hedlind said. “Now I can sitin the car and she can come across(with the crossing guards), and I'mnot so scared of it. Even thoughthere's not really a whole lot oftraffic ... being a father, I would stillget out and walk her across thestreet, even though I don't have to.Crossing guards are really a goodidea.” Tibbles said the group of seven vol-

unteers plan to continue the crossingguard program through the rest ofthe school year, but that it dependson volunteers to continue until workcan start on the drop-off zone. “I think we're all pretty much com-

mitted through the end of the schoolyear, and then we'll see what hap-pens in the fall,” Tibbles said. Tibbles said those interested in vol-

unteering can get in touch with herthrough the school office or the“Houghtaling Parents & Teachers”Facebook page.
