Good afternoon. It's Monday, March 30.

In today's newsletter:

  • Anchorage police plan to begin offering people accused of some low-level crimes a chance to avoid arrest and prosecution in exchange for addressing substance misuse or other issues that played a central role in their offenses.

  • In the latest edition of Open & Shut, Anchorage gets several new eateries, including Polynesian and Mexican cuisine, as well as a new board game cafe and cannabis shop.

  • A man who had been firing a gun early Saturday from an Anchorage home, prompting responders to take cover, died after an officer shot at him while he was inside the building, which was destroyed by a fire, Anchorage police said.

Travel experts say both domestic and international airfares are up, and are likely to stay high for the foreseeable future. You may still be able to swing something affordable this summer, but it won't be the Amalfi Coast in July. From Estonia to Arkansas, here are six destinations for a cheaper summer vacation.
