Strongestever earthquake hits North Slope KAVIK RIVER CAMP (AP) — Alaska’s North Slope was hit Sunday by the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in the region, the state’s seismologist said.

At 6:58 a.m. Sunday, the magnitude 6,.4 earthquake struck an area 42 miles east of Kavik River Camp and 343 miles northeast of Fairbanks, the state’s second-biggest city.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake had a depth of about 6 miles.

State seismologist Mike West told the Anchorage Daily News that the earthquake was the biggest recorded in the North Slope by a substantial amount. “This is a very significant event that will take us some time to understand,” he told the Daily News.

The previous most powerful quake in the North Slope was in 1995 at magnitude 5.2, West told the newspaper.

The jump from a 5.2 to Sunday’s 6.4 is significant because earthquakes rapidly grow in strength as magnitude rises, he said. A magnitude 6.4 earthquake is 15.8 times bigger and 63.1 times stronger than a 5.2 earthquake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

“That’s why at 6.4 this changes how we think about the region,” West said. “It’s a little early to say how, but it’s safe to say this earthquake will cause a re-evaluation of the seismic potential of that area.”

Later Sunday, another magnitude 6.1 earthquake hit at 1:15 p.m. near the city of Kaktovik on Alaska’s North Slope, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The epicenter was (65 kilometers) southwest of Kaktovik, which has about 290 people.

The magnitude 6.4 earthquake that hit Sunday morning was felt by workers at the oil-production facilities in and around Prudhoe Bay, the Daily News reported.

The newspaper says that Alyeska Pipeline said the earthquake did not damage the transAlaska pipeline. The company says in a tweet that “there are no operational concerns” related to the earthquake, but the pipeline will be inspected.

Several aftershocks were reported across northern Alaska.

The Alaska Earthquake Center says the earthquakes were felt across the eastern part of the state’s North Slope Borough and as far south as metro Fairbanks. The center adds that there are no reports of damage.

Borough, Nikiski seek to have greater participation in LNG export project

By BEN BOETTGER Peninsula Clarion

The Kenai Peninsula Borough is seeking an official role in federal permitting of plans to export North Slope natural gas to Asia via a 806-mile pipeline to a liquefaction plant and export terminal planned for Nikiski — where the Kenai Peninsula Borough intends to keep it, countering efforts by other local governments to propose other locations. At their Tuesday meeting, the Kenai Penin-

sula Borough Assembly voted to petition the agency leading the LNG project’s environmental permitting — the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) — for intervenor status in the gasline’s environmental impact statement, which would allow the borough to request rehearing of FERC decisions or appeal them to a U.S Circuit Court.

The borough’s legal representatives sent FERC their intervention petition Friday. It states that “the Kenai Borough

has a direct and substantial interest in and will be directly affected by the outcome of this proceeding. No other party can adequately represent Kenai Borough’s interests.”

Two other local governments have previously become FERC intervenors, seeking to locate the terminal in their areas: the city of Valdez in May 2017, and the Matanuska Susitna Borough, which in January 2018 requested that FERC require the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC)

— the state-owed corporation planning the LNG project - to examine the Mat-Su Boroughowned Port MacKenzie, in the Knik Arm, as a terminal site.

“Right now we have Valdez and Mat-Su hemming and hawing for this project, and they’re intervenors,” said John Quick, Chief of Staff to Borough Mayor Charlie Pierce, in a Monday meeting of the borough’s LNG advisory committee. “And the Kenai Peninsula Borough has not been an intervenor… If we’re not at the table, we’re

not at the table. So I think this will put us in a better position to have a bigger voice from the Borough, and do everything we can to make sure this project lands in Nikiski.”

In its January petition to FERC, the Mat-Su Borough stated that AGDC had ruled out Port MacKenzie and selected Nikiski based on “erroneous facts.” ADGC’s analysis hadn’t considered Port MacKenzie at all, according to the Mat-Su Borough, but rather an undevelSee LNG, page A2

In effort to unseat Young, education activist Galvin seeks Democratic nomination in U.S. House race

By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press

JUNEAU — When Alyse Galvin ran into resistance from some state legislators in a fight over school funding, she didn’t give up. She got a loudspeaker.

In 2017, the activist, along with other worried moms, helped gather hundreds of letters from Alaskans urging legislators not to cut school funding amid a state budget deficit.

The letters were read on the Capitol steps during an hourslong event — replete with props — that Galvin helped organize.

When a budget finally passed two months later, schools were fully funded.

One legislator says the persistence of Galvin’s organization, Great Alaska Schools, made a difference.

It’s that tenacity that supporters say will serve Galvin, a familiar face at the Capitol, well if she accomplishes her next goal: election to the U.S. House.

The independent is seeking the Democratic nomination and a chance to challenge U.S. Rep. Don Young, a Republican who has held the office for 45 years. If elected, Galvin would be the first woman to hold Alaska’s lone House seat.

Her opponents in the Aug. 21 primary are Democrats Dimitri Shein and Carol Hafner, who does not live in Alas-

ka, and independent Christopher Cumings. Young is expected to win his primary.

Of her primary opponents, Shein has been the most active, pushing an agenda that includes Medicare for all. He said he’s bothered by Galvin’s ties to the oil and gas industry: her husband, Pat Galvin, is an executive with Great Bear Petroleum.

Galvin said she wants to

diversify a state economy that relies largely on oil and see greater investment in renewable energy. She said she supports responsible resource development and that more needs to be done in response to climate change. Both she and her husband, a Democrat who served as state revenue commissioner during then-Gov. Sarah Palin’s administration, drive hybrid Priuses.

But she’s the candidate, she notes — not her husband. “I’m my own person. … Anybody who knows me knows that.”

In college in California, Galvin trained to be an opera singer but found it “a little bit self-serving,” so she switched her focus to political science.

Her background includes work in fish processing, managing a hotel and volunteering with Great Alaska Schools.

Alison Arians, who worked with Galvin on Great Alaska Schools, said Galvin is the smartest, hardest-working person she has known.” To me, I can’t think of somebody who would be more likely to get in there and be able to, I’m not saying change how Congress works, but maybe she could,” Arians said.

Deena Mitchell, who knows Galvin through their education advocacy, said Galvin listens and has empathy but is also tough and does what she thinks is right. “She can push back when she needs to,” Mitchell said.

Galvin initially intended to help like-minded candidates get elected before deciding to jump in herself, becoming part of a record number of women running for the House. Her own top-level campaign staff is all women, which she said was intentional, though she said that could change as the campaign grows.

Galvin, 53, said she was frustrated by what sees as a lack of leadership and the ongoing partisan rancor. Most registered voters in Alaska identify as independents, and Galvin said she’s grateful the Democratic Party opened its primary to give those like her — whose values align closely with the party’s — a voice.

Ketchikan aviation mechanic honored by FAA for service

By BILLY SINGLETON Ketchikan Daily News

KETCHIKAN (AP) — Expecting a small company gathering in honor of his 70th birthday, Stephen Sustarich was surprised to receive instead the Federal Aviation Administration’s most prestigious award for aircraft mechanics.

Sustarich, the quality control supervisor for Temsco Helicopters, fought back tears as he was presented the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award on Friday morning. The award recognized Sustarich for his 50-year career in the field.

The award has only been achieved by one other mechanic in Ketchikan’s history.

FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector Lana Bowler, who presented the award on Friday, explained that the honor is reserved for “individuals who have exhibited professionalism, skill and aviation expertise for at least 50 years in the

aircraft maintenance profession, as a master mechanic.”

The award is named for Charles Taylor, the mechanic who designed and built the engines for Wright brothers’ first powered airplanes.

“I never thought it would happen,” Sustarich said on Friday. “To be honest, I never thought I’d make 50 years. But I sure appreciate everybody and everything. It’s a great honor. And for that, I want to thank everybody. Thank you very much.”

His wife, Pam Sustarich, wrote a speech for the event, which was read by their friend, Bett Union-Jakubek.

“The man you are honoring today is a very private, simple, hardworking man that doesn’t quit or back down from anything,” Pam Sustarich wrote.

“The life he has lived has been anything but ordinary or simple, and anyone that knows me knows I am his biggest fan.

She was recognized by the

FAA during the ceremony as well.

“With any lifelong mechanic’s career, there are many long nights, missed holidays and birthdays, equating to substantial time away from home and family as duty calls to ensure the safety of the flying public,” Bowler said. “. The FAA recognizes the sacrifices made not only by the mechanic, but the mechanic’s other half.”

Also during the ceremony, Stephen Sustarich was presented with a Quilt of Valor from the Rainy Day Quilters, a symbol of gratitude for his service in the Army. Cheri Davis and Cathy Tillotson presented the red, white and blue quilt.

In addition to possessing excellence and 50 years in the field, recipients of the Charles Taylor Master Mechanic Award must be nominated by their peers.

Sustarich was nominated by more than four of them.

One of the nominators was

his son Evan, who works as an aircraft mechanic in Nashville.

Evan Sustarich said that his father was the reason he chose the profession.

“Great father,” Evan Sustarich said following the ceremony. “Always been my hero, someone to look up to. And honestly, other people look up to him as well.”

Evan Sustarich and his mother helped coordinate the event, which included a barbecue and an extensive display of photographs from Stephen Sustarich’s career. The event took months of planning on the part of the family, Temsco and the FAA. “It was a lot of work trying to keep it hidden from him,” Evan Sustarich said. “That’s the biggest part, because he notices everything.”

Stephen Sustarich’s career in aviation began in 1967, when he enlisted in the U.S. Army. After attending aviation maintenance school at Fort

Eustis, Virginia, he served two tours in Vietnam maintaining helicopters.

Sustarich remained in the Army following his service overseas. He said he flew in an Army medevac helicopter for five or six years while stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado.

“It was actually before there were EMS helicopters,” he explained. “When the military was doing it, we were basically doing everything that EMS does today.”

At Fort Carson, Sustarich also met his future wife, who was managing a beauty shop.

In her speech on Friday, Pam Sustarich highlighted the sacrifices her husband made on behalf of his crew and those they protected.

“Stephen had always volunteered to work on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day so that the guys could be home with their families,” she said.

After FERC made Mat-Su’s requested order in February, AGDC returned a response on July 13 that cited additional dredging requirements, thicker sea ice, inadequacy of existing docking at Port MacKenzie, and the critical beluga habitat of the upper Cook Inlet as reasons to maintain its preference for Nikiski.

On July 20, the Mat-Su Borough replied that it “has already identified several aspects of AGDC’s response with which it disagrees” and that it would it give further comments by Sept.

Health care costs are an ongoing concern for Alaskans.

She added, however, that there are things that can be done to fix the existing system in the meantime, including opening health care exchanges across state lines to expand coverage

FERC plans to release a draft of the LNG project’s environmental impact statement in March 2019 and the final statement in December 2019.

Nikiski Representation Most of the nine members of the Kenai Peninsula Borough’s LNG advisory committee are Nikiski residents who have advocated in the past for Nikiski to have a greater voice in the LNG project’s decisions. In the advisory board’s Monday meeting, Nikiski members spoke unfavorably about AGDC’s plan to supply the terminal’s water from Kenai’s municipal water system, and about traffic patterns on its proposed reroute of the Kenai Spur Highway.

AGDC President Keith Meyer was present and agreed

with their general complaint.

“I think Nikiski has been underrepresented in this project,” Meyer said.

Because Nikiski is an unincorporated area, state and project officials have usually recognized the Kenai Peninsula Borough as representing its interest, but on Monday Meyer said he would endorse one way for Nikiski to be more directly represented: through a seat along the borough government on the Alaska Department of Revenue’s Municipal Advisory Gas Project Review Board.

The Municipal Advisory Board is made up of 12 governor-appointed state officials and local government representatives, mainly borough mayors.

A central subject of the group’s discussions has been how to

distribute future revenue from the gasline that the company will give to local governments in lieu of the property tax it’s exempt from paying as a state entity. The Advisory Board last met in December 2016, when then-Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor Mike Navarre sat on it as the local representative.

Alaska Gasline Development Corporation Senior Vice President Frank Richards said the Department of Revenue’s Deputy Commissioner Mike Barnhill is planning to re-activate the group. Meyer said he would recommend to Department of Revenue leaders that a representative of Nikiski be included in the nominees.

Galvin said she wouldn’t take money from corporate political action committees but has accepted contributions from two union PACs, including $4,000 from the NEA Fund for Children and Public Education, the PAC of the major teachers union that endorsed her.

At a recent meet-and-greet at a tea shop in Juneau that played New Age-y music, whenever the conversation ebbed, Galvin would ask if there were more questions or concerns or ideas to share.

Aaron Brakel, a facilities manager who attended the

event, said he was deciding between Galvin and Shein but said he liked what he heard from Galvin.

Galvin has mounted a vigorous campaign, crisscrossing the state — sometimes traveling in her family RV emblazoned with her campaign logo.

She said she respects Young’s service, but it’s time for new energy.

Young, 85, recently referred to cellphones as “the worst thing that God ever gave man.”

His spokeswoman says that’s a reference to how phones can be distracting and says Young thinks traveling the state and speaking with people one-onone is the best form of commu-

nication.

Galvin said people are excited she knows how to text and uses Facebook Live to engage with them.

In one Facebook video last month, Galvin recorded herself calling Young’s office to lament his lack of response to President Donald Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which both Alaska’s U.S. senators weighed in on.

The video was part tutorial — showing people how to call their congressman, down to giving them his office number — and part infomercial, saying she hopes people will call her, too, with concerns.

In 1988, Stephen Sustarich retired from the U.S. Army, with the rank of chief warrant officer 3. Temsco hired him the following year. He worked as a line mechanic and a field mechanic, primarily on Bell 212 helicopters. The job involved maintaining the helicopters in Ketchikan, but also following them into the field on charter jobs, often for several months at a time. Among these jobs, Sustarich assisted firefighters in Interior Alaska and provided humanitarian relief on the Caribbean island of Montserrat following a 1995 volcanic

eruption.

In 2002, Sustarich was promoted to Temsco’s quality control supervisor. He became responsible for overseeing maintenance, inspections and parts on all of Temsco’s more than 40 aircraft.

In their nominations, Sustarich’s peers spoke highly of his ability and the moral character he’s displayed in the position.

“He has really looked after the people, the mechanics, the pilots, all of his fellow employees, his employer and your customers, the flying public,” wrote David Freder-

ick, a Juneau-based mechanic and pilot.

Pam Sustarich said that she appreciated the promotion because it meant that her husband didn’t have to spend much time away from home anymore. He’s held the position ever since.

And after 50 years working on helicopters, Sustarich isn’t showing any signs of quitting.

“I enjoy every day of it,” he said. “It’s always changing, and it’s always fun. Once I don’t enjoy it anymore, that’s when I’ll actually retire. Right now, I enjoy it every day, and I’ll keep working.”

What Others Say

Even as Pope Francis condemns death penalty, U.S. continues with executions Pope Francis’s condemnation of

capital punishment is simple and unambiguous: It is inadmissible. No exceptions for especially heinous crimes; no loopholes allowing execution when other lives might be in jeopardy, as in past Catholic teachings.

No, declared the pope; state-sanctioned killing is always an unjustifiable attack on the dignity of human life, it’s always wrong.

That it is. It is an arbitrary and hugely expensive barbarism whose victims in the United States are often black, poor or mentally disturbed — and sometimes innocent. Over the past 45 years, when 1,479 people were executed in this country, 162 people sentenced to death have been exonerated. All the arguments for executing criminals have been debunked: It is useless as a deterrent and it does not save lives by getting rid of murderers. Many countries, including nearly all Western democracies with the shameful exception of the United States, have rejected it.

Since his election to the papacy five years ago, Francis has introduced a less formal, more pragmatic and progressive approach to his ministry, taking strong stands on issues like climate change and consumerism. …

The church’s new position on the death penalty carries no formal punishment for defying it, but in eliminating any ambiguity it does compel Catholic officials at least to find concrete reasons to not abide by it. Four Supreme Court justices are Catholic, as is Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee for the court; among governors, Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, a Catholic and staunch supporter of the death penalty, has already declared that he will not block an execution scheduled for this month.

There will also be conservative Catholics who reject the pope’s reasoning for changing his church’s teaching on capital punishment after centuries in which it was tolerated. A letter to bishops accompanying the revised teaching explained at length that it was a development of the teachings of the last two popes, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, reflecting changes in awareness that had taken place in recent times.

Yet the importance of the pope’s definitive rejection of capital punishment is not solely for Catholics, or for Christians, as the Vatican made clear in saying that the church would work “for its abolition worldwide.”

Capital punishment has been long abandoned across Europe and indefinitely suspended in Russia, and even in the United States its use has been declining for years. …And though 31 states still allow the death penalty, only 10 have carried out executions since 2014.

The man awaiting execution in Nebraska is a prime example of the absurdity of capital punishment. Carey Dean Moore, now 60, has been on death row for 38 years and few Nebraskans remember what he was condemned for. How taking his life would serve justice is a mystery even to many state legislators, who voted to repeal the death penalty in 2015, only to have Governor Ricketts lead a campaign to restore it.

President Trump would most likely be on Mr. Ricketts’ side, not the pope’s. …

In fact, very few of those who have been executed or are on death row committed anything as monstrous as that terror attack by Sayfullo Saipov, who is awaiting trial. Yet even the most serious crimes, in Pope Francis’s view, do not deprive the perpetrator of the “dignity of the person,” and modern prisons are fully capable of protecting citizens from him or her.

For those who have long opposed capital punishment as cruel and pointless, as has this page, the only lingering question is why the Catholic Church or any religious denomination that still condones executions would take so long to recognize that they are simply inadmissible.

The same can be asked of Americans, whose Constitution so clearly prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.

— The New York Times, Aug. 3

Don’t ban Alex Jones from social media

It’s just gotten a little easier for the government to control the weather.

Social media sites moved en masse to ban Alex Jones, the self-parodic conspiracy theorist. Jones is a poisonous toad who leveraged his compellingly ridiculous persona and bizarre rants into considerable notoriety and a lucrative dietary supplement empire.

He doesn’t represent anything new.

We’ve always had our share of paranoid weirdos. Before the age of social media, they relied on publishing underground newsletters and handing out leaflets and the like to get their message out.

What Jones has done is take a cracked worldview that long predated him — lunatic theories about the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg group have been a fringe staple for decades — and shrewdly marketed it using technologies that afford him a reach unimaginable to his daft forebears.

This is a significant downside of the new media environment, which is more open than ever before. But banning Jones, especially in the manner it was done, has worrisome ramifications for free speech.

Of course, the social media companies aren’t government entities. They can silence whomever they like without violating the First Amendment. But that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

The power of social media platforms is enormous. They are, for all intents and purposes, the public square. Facebook affects the fate of publishers with every change to its algorithms, and has repeatedly demon-

strated the ability to make media entities march to its beat.

This suggests that these companies have a responsibility to give the widest possible latitude to free speech. They certainly shouldn’t make Rich Lowry sweeping decisions, like the swift, collective action against Jones, in an arbitrary manner.

Everyone has known about Jones for years. It can’t be that suddenly, after propagating stupid lies for decades, he was discovered to be grossly violating the guidelines of almost every important social media platform at the same moment. Just a few weeks ago, Mark Zuckerberg told an interviewer that he didn’t want to take down Holocaust deniers because it’s not his role to be an arbiter of truth. There’s no way to square that view and the defenestration of Alex Jones.

What happened? The reaction against Zuckerberg’s interview was harsh, and the pressure to move against Jones intense. So this was clearly, in part, a political decision by the social media companies moving as a herd. That’s a problem, especially when the rules are fuzzy and subject to selective enforcement.

The rationale for the ban is that Jones was guilty of hate speech, or, as Facebook put it, using “dehumanizing language.”

Since there is considerable sentiment on

the left for the proposition that using disfavored pronouns for transgender people is dehumanizing, and an undeservedly wellrespected outfit, the Southern Poverty Law Center, has a mission of labeling conservative organizations “hate groups,” the possibility of a slippery slope is real.

If social media platforms are going down this road, they should have a much less subjective standard. A clear line would be the one that Zuckerberg enunciated in his controversial interview, which is to act to stop incitement, but otherwise allow users to post as they see fit.

My colleague David French suggests another bright line: banning users who are guilty of libel. This standard might bounce Jones for his monstrous lie about Sandy Hook families having faked the massacre of their children.

The lonely social media dissenter regarding Jones is Jack Dorsey of Twitter, who declined to ban him. He is getting excoriated for saying said it’s important to stand by straightforward, impartial principles, and that journalists should refute the likes of Jones “so people can form their own opinions.” This is what used to be a liberal chestnut, that the best way to combat speech is with other speech. Now, it is considered a hateful, retrograde point of view. We won’t miss Alex Jones when he’s gone, but the banning almost certainly won’t end with him.

Letters to the Editor:

AP News Extra Omarosa says she secretly taped her firing Former presidential adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman said Sunday she secretly recorded conversations she had in the White House, including her firing by chief of staff John Kelly in the high-security Situation Room. It was a highly unusual admission, which immediately drew fire from allies of the president and national security experts.

Parts of her conversation with Kelly were played on the air when she appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” to promote her new book, “Unhinged,” which will be released next week. The Associated Press independently listened to the recording of the conversation between Manigault Newman and Kelly, which she said was one of many she’d surreptitiously recorded for her own protection.

In her book, Manigault Newman paints a damning picture of President Donald Trump, including claiming without evidence that tapes exist of him using the N-word as he filmed his “The Apprentice” reality series, on which she co-starred.

Manigault Newman said in the book that she had not personally heard the recording. But she told Chuck Todd on Sunday that, after the book had closed, she was able to hear a recording of Trump during a trip to Los Angeles.

“I heard his voice as clear as you and I are sitting here,” she said on the show.

Wildfire victims ‘Touch the sun’: NASA’s Parker Solar Probe hurtles toward our star among those stung

by Trump’s trade war

By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Embarking on a mission that scientists have been dreaming of since the Sputnik era, a NASA spacecraft hurtled Sunday toward the sun on a quest to unlock some of its mysteries by getting closer than any object sent before.

If all goes well, the Parker Solar Probe will fly straight through the wispy edges of the sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere, in November. In the years ahead, it will gradually get within 3.8 million miles (6 million kilometers) of the surface, its instruments protected from the extreme heat and radiation by a revolutionary new carbon heat shield and other high-tech wizardry.

Altogether, the Parker probe will make 24 close approaches to our star during the sevenyear, $1.5 billion journey.

“Wow, here we go. We’re in for some learning over the next several years,” said Eugene Parker, the 91-year-old astrophysicist for whom the spacecraft is named.

It was Parker who accurately theorized 60 years ago the existence of solar wind — the supersonic stream of charged particles blasting off the sun and coursing through space, sometimes wreaking havoc on electrical systems on Earth.

This is the first time NASA has named a spacecraft after a living person.

As Parker and thousands of others watched, a Delta IV Heavy rocket carried the probe aloft, thundering into the clear, star-studded sky on three pillars of fire that lit up the middle-ofthe-night darkness.

NASA needed the mighty 23-story rocket, plus a third stage, to get the Parker probe — the size of a small car and well under a ton — racing toward the sun, 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth.

A Saturday morning launch attempt was foiled by lastminute technical trouble. But Sunday gave way to complete success.

It was the first rocket launch ever witnessed by Parker, a retired University of Chicago professor. He said it was like looking at photos of the Taj Mahal for years and then beholding the real thing in India.

“I really have to turn from biting my nails in getting it launched, to thinking about all the interesting things which I don’t know yet and which will be made clear, I assume, over the next five or six or seven years,” Parker said on NASA TV. Among the mysteries scientists hope to solve: Why is the corona hundreds of times hotter than the surface, which is 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,500 degrees Celsius)? And why is the sun’s atmosphere continually expanding and accelerating, as Parker theorized in 1958?

“The only way we can do that is to finally go up and touch the sun,” said project scientist Nicola Fox of Johns Hopkins University. “We’ve looked at it.

We’ve studied it from missions that are close in, even as close as the planet Mercury. But we have to go there.”

A better understanding of the sun’s life-giving and sometimes violent nature could also enable earthlings to better protect satellites and astronauts in orbit, along with the power grids so vital to today’s technology-dependent society, said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s science mission chief.

Parker, the probe, will start shattering records this fall. On its very first brush with the sun, it will come within 15.5 million miles (25 million kilometers), easily beating the current record of 27 million miles (43 million kilometers) set by NASA’s Helios 2 spacecraft in 1976.

By the time Parker gets to its 22nd, 23rd and 24th orbits of the sun in 2024 and 2025,

it will be even deeper into the corona and traveling at a record 430,000 mph (690,000 kilometers per hour). Nothing from planet Earth has ever gone that fast.

Even Fox has difficulty comprehending the mission’s derring-do.

“To me, it’s still mind-blowing,” she said. “Even I still go, ‘Really? We’re doing that?’”

The 8-foot (2.4-meter) heat shield will serve as an umbrella that will shade the spacecraft’s scientific instruments, with on-board sensors adjusting the protective cover as necessary so that nothing gets fried.

A mission to get up close and personal with our star has been on NASA’s books since 1958. The trick was making the spacecraft compact and light enough to travel at incredible speeds and durable enough to withstand the punishing environment.

“We’ve had to wait so long for our technology to catch up with our dreams,” Fox said.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) — Add this to the challenges facing California wildfire victims: Tariffs.

The import tariffs imposed

by President Donald Trump are adding thousands of dollars to the cost of building homes.

That especially squeezes homeowners who seek to rebuild quickly after losing their houses to natural disasters, such as the wildfires scorching parts of California.

The Trump administration’s tariffs have raised the cost of imported lumber, drywall, nails and other key construction materials. One building association official said the tariffs could raise the price of a typical new home in California by up to $20,000, and it could be more for individual homes being custom-built on short order.

That could be enough to keep some people with inadequate homeowners insurance from rebuilding or force them to consider a smaller house.

Other factors also are making home construction more expensive, including a shortage of workers and increased demand that has pushed up the price of materials produced in the U.S. The difference with the tariffrelated cost increase: It’s a direct result of a governmental policy change.

“This comes at a bad time if you’ve just had your neighborhood swept up in a firestorm,” said Jock O’Connell, an international trade adviser at Beacon Economics in California.

Wildfires have destroyed thousands of homes in California over the past two years, including 1,200 so far this year.

It’s not just wildfire victims in the West who have to deal with higher construction costs.

Last year, Hurricane Harvey

flooded 300,000 structures in Texas.

Trump has imposed the import tariffs on a range of goods as a way to strike back at trading partners he says have not treated the U.S. fairly. His move has set off a trade war, with other nations raising tariffs on U.S. goods in retaliation.

Tariffs now are just over 20 percent on imported Canadian lumber and 25 percent on steel imported from certain nations as well as on a long list of goods from China.

Rob Dietz, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders, said typically the price of labor, interest rates and the availability of land are the main variables determining the cost of new home construction, with the price of materials and local fees also having an effect.

“Now, lumber and labor are the top two,” he said.

The U.S. imports about onethird of its softwood lumber, mostly from Canada. Among other things, it’s used to build the wood framing for new houses.

California Building Industry Association President Dan Dunmoyer said contractors tell him that the tariffs alone could add $8,000 to $10,000 to the lumber costs for a typical single-family home and about the same amount for steel products such as nails, other fasteners and wire mesh.

Tariffs also are boosting the cost of appliances, drywall and solar panels, which will be required on all new homes in California starting in two years.

Asked for comment about the impacts of the tariffs on building materials, White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters did not respond directly. In an email, she said, “Instead of retaliating, China should address the longstanding concerns about its unfair trading practices.”

Calvin Raye Gourley

Passed away peacefully in his sleep and was found in his home by his daughter, Darcy, in Spokane Valley, Washington on May 23, 2018. He was 59 years old.

Calvin had valiantly fought and beat stage 4 throat cancer in 2012. He had just passed his official cancer survivor mark, being declared cancer free 5 years, post diagnosis. He was facing serious and impending medical & surgical procedures caused by the treatment that saved his life from cancer just 5 years earlier. Calvin took the bull by the horns and never took the easy way out. He was an inspiration to all with his constant positive attitude. Calvin never let his medical issues slow him down and he never complained. In the days prior to his passing, he had his jaw wired shut and a PICC line placed for his at home antibiotic treatment. Despite all of that he painted his deck, built a patio and chopped down and limbed a huge tree in his yard, all on his own, all with his jaw wired shut and IV line in place. He lived every day to the fullest and went to bed for time last time as a content and proud man. And we are so proud of him. He was a true inspiration and loved by so many.

Calvin was a generous and loving man. He was a loving father, spouse, son, brother, uncle, cousin, coworker and friend to many.

He was the best Papa his grandchildren could ever hope for and even when he lived miles and miles away from them, he made a huge effort to be a part of their daily lives. His role as Papa was one of his favorite things in his life. Calvin was born on September 10, 1958 at Pierce County Hospital and was the oldest child to Lola (Stream) and Theodore (Gourley).

He graduated from Mount Tahoma High School in 1976. He served his country in the United States Marine Corps in 1977.

In 1978 he met his first wife, Nancy Henricksen and in February of 1979 they moved to Kenai, Alaska, where they made their home and welcomed daughters, Heather Lee Gourley in 1980 and Darcy Rae Gourley in 1981. Calvin would make Alaska his home for the next 30 odd years until he returned to his birth place in the Tacoma, Washington area to live and finally in the fall of 2017 he moved to Spokane, Washington where he bought a home, where he lived until he passed.

Calvin worked various job in his younger years after moving to Alaska. He worked at Doors and Windows for a couple years and also worked an assortment of kitchen jobs until he became a cook and spent many years in local establishments cooking, sometimes just in exchange for a few beers and good conversation. Calvin always loved to cook and his daughters attribute their ability to cook to their dad. After the Steelhead Platform blew up in 1987, Calvin entered the oilfield as a roustabout. Calvin then spent over 30 years in the oil & gas industry working on the North Slope initially then he spent many years on each of the Steelhead Platform, then on the North Slope at North Star Island and finally at Endicott where he was employed by Hilcorp as an operator when he passed away. Calvin always had a strong work ethic and made lifelong friends with many coworkers. He always had movies and music to share and was a hard worker and well liked by all. He also always had an inappropriate joke, a beer or a good story to tell. Since his passing there has been an outpouring of support and love from his coworkers, friends, both near and far and by his employer, Hilcorp. The family wishes to thank all of them for their support during this incredibly difficult time.

Calvin was a very proud American. He honored the lives of those lost at war in his daily life and it was important to him to acknowledge the loss of life of those soldiers defending our country. He was an avid fisherman and his girls grew up on and around the Kenai River with him. Dip netting, rod and reel or ocean fishing, Calvin loved it all. He always had a fishing boat and loved to take people out fishing. He had no qualms about spending the day baiting hooks, netting fish and then processing the days catch, only to insist his guest took the days bounty. He loved to camp and nobody enjoyed a backyard fire quite like Calvin. Every house he lived at he installed a fire pit and his last home was no different. He loved to sit around a fire, sharing some drinks and some laughs. He always lived in the present and looked at the brighter side of every situation. Throughout his travels later in his life, Calvin got to fish all over the world. He loved to travel and meet new people and has friends all over the world. He loved going to Mexico and had been to Costa Rica, China and Iceland in the recent years and he had a trip to the Dominican Republic planned for the near future. He also had drove all over the United States, pulling his 5th wheel, ready to try anything and meet new people. He had an adventurous side and has been swimming with sharks multiple times, bungee jumping and on a frozen horse trek in Iceland, amongst dozens of other adventures, all of them he loved and well documented with photographs. Calvin was an enthusiastic photographer and especially liked taking pictures of nature and his grandchildren. Calvin also loved to fly and had taken lessons a few different times over the years. He never completed getting his pilots license but loved to fly in all aircrafts. Calvin’s grandchildren would remark on all Papa’s gadgets and tech toys. He always had the latest and greatest and all the cool new technology and always let them check it out and play with his electronics and he supplied them all with iPads and laptops as soon as they were old enough to use them. He loved to spoil his grandchildren and took great joy in doing so frequently. He could not care less what his daughters thought about his affinity for spoiling the grandkids. He loved kids and took the role as Papa and an Uncle with pride and was always very loving and generous with all the kids in his life. Calvin traveled all the time to see new places and spend time with friends and family and was halfway to his million mile status with Alaska Airlines. Calvin loved to share a beer and a laugh with everyone in his life. He had a great sense of humor and never took himself too seriously. He laughed easily and often and always looked on the brighter side of life, never worrying himself with the negative or perceived failures. He was a proud man, a handsome man and so very loved. Calvin was the oldest of all his brothers and loved them and their families very much. His brothers looked up to him and all have many of their own special memories and funny stories to tell about their adventures with him. All throughout his life he stayed in touch with many childhood friends, cousins, aunts and uncles and always made the effort to visit, even when he lived miles away. Calvin always played an active role in all his relationships and always made the effort to stay in touch and visit as often as he could. Since his passing, people from all across this beautiful world have reached out to express their condolences. The words that keep coming up when people describe Calvin or their relationship with him are: loving, honest, happy, funny, beer, good friend, generous, reliable, hard worker, fisherman, integrity, genuine and his best role was his hat he wore as a dad and a Papa.

Calvin had no shortage of love for the ladies. He enjoyed wining and dining them and enjoyed the company of a good woman. He has been known to wine and dine a not so good woman too, just saying. He didn’t discriminate. He had many lady friends and was a good friend to all. Calvin married several times and never had sour words for his former wives. He maintained friendships with many of his ex’s and never had a bad thing to say about them. He was married to Nancy Henricksen, (Heather & Darcy) from 1979 to 2000. He then was married to Kimberly Finch (stepchildren Kelsey & Jerred) from 2001 until 2005 and finally was married to Rhonda Steinbring (stepchildren Tera & Jason) from 2010 until 2015.

His daughter Heather says, “It feels weird for him to be gone. It is not yet wholly real. I often think of him, reach for my phone to text or call him and remember he is gone. I miss him deeply. I’ve been reminded lately of his adventurous spirit. I have many sweet memories of ice fishing, camping, floating the Swanson and cooking out. I’m grateful for the time I had with him but I’m also incredibly sad that my boys wont get to know him like I did. We’ve been talking about his death lately. My boys ask about whether he is reincarnated, just gone or in heaven. The boys have decided he’s either in the sea or in the air. He loved both the ocean and birds so both seem fitting. It gives us peace to think he might be able to visit us. We miss our sweet Papa”.

His daughter Darcy says, “My dad was my best friend my entire life. I have many fond memories as a child with my dad. We were always fishing and camping with him and I was always sure he could build or fix anything. Into adulthood, my dad remained my best friend. I could always tell him anything and did so. I could always rely on him for support or advice. He made such an effort to be an active part of my life & my children’s lives and traveled many miles yearly to do so. He was the toughest dude I know and was himself until his very last day. I still cannot believe he is gone. It feels so unfair and I just miss him every second of every day. I talked to my dad more than I talked to anyone in my life. We had the same sense of humor and both loved to give each other a hard time and the jokes and laughing never stopped. I will forever miss him and forever is too long of a time to be without him. My entire family thanks everyone for all the love and support. It helps knowing he is missed so wide and far and will never be forgotten. I miss him daily and find some comfort in knowing how well loved he was, by so many. Thank you all for the support. I’d like to give a special thanks to his employer, Hilcorp, and of his of his coworkers, both past and present. They have been so patient, understanding and supportive to us during this difficult time and also helped in getting my husband, Klay, off the slope and back home with me as soon as humanly possible after I found my dear daddy passed away. I am so very sorry to everyone who is mourning his loss, he loved you all. He truly was one of a kind and I will always be a daddy’s girl and am so proud to be his daughter”.

Calvin is proceeded in death by his mother, Lola Cress; his father, Ted Gourley; step-mother, Virginia Gourley; Aunt, Frances Mooney and step-sister, Cathy Harmon. He is survived by his daughters, Heather Gourley and her children, Harvey and Calvin Wall. Daughter, Darcy McCaughey and son in law Klay McCaughey and their children, Skylynne, Kallie, Kobe, Malakai and Rayden (Kashatok) McCaughey. Former step-daughter, Tera and her husband Matt Uerling and their daughters, Hailey and Mattie. He is also survived by his brothers, Cevin Gourley, Carl Gourley, Jeff Tuttle, Ron Engebretson, John Laughlin, Mark Strom and step brother John Gourley and their wives and children.

Step-sisters, Linda Bartholomay, Debbie Kramer & Julie McKeeman and their spouses and children. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and lifelong friends, too many to list by name.

Per his request, Calvin was cremated. At a later date his daughter Darcy will spread some of his ashes on the Kenai River, in the Kachemak Bay and at her family property at Sunshine Point in the Bay. Calvin’s longtime friend and coworker, Kim Gardner will spread some ashes in the Prince William Sound, a place Calvin loved dearly and the two of them had memorable trips in the Sound together. Darcy also plans to take a bit of Calvin with her whenever she travels and spread him all throughout this beautiful country.

A celebration of life will be hosted by his daughters on Monday, August 13th at 6:00pm at the Hilcorp Recreation Site on Holt Lamplight Road in Nikiski.

Signage will be visible from the roadways, leading guests to the site. It will be a potluck and guests are encouraged to bring a dish to share.

For more information please check Calvin’s Facebook page as well as his daughter, Darcy’s, Facebook page. A post will be made and updated with more details, as necessary.

If anybody would like to help in the planning and prep of the celebration of life on Monday August 13th, they are encouraged to reach out to Klay at 907-398-6749 and he will point them in the right direction.

Any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Heather, Darcy or Klay. The family wishes to thank everyone for their continued support and wants to remind everyone that Calvin would want us to not mourn his passing but celebrate his life. Please join us in doing so.

In closing, I would like to add, smoking and chewing tobacco were directly related to our daddy’s battle with throat cancer and ultimately his death. Smoking kills. If you do smoke or chew, please quit today.

If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for your friends and family so they won’t have to suffer through your untimely loss. And as always, please drink responsibly.

European aid group: Ships won’t save distressed migrants

By FRANCES D’EMILIO Associated Press

ROME — Migrants in distress at sea have told their rescuers that several ships passed them by without offering assistance, a European aid group said Sunday while seeking safe harbor for a rescue vessel with 141 migrants aboard.

SOS Mediterranee in a statement said that due to the recent refusal of Italy and Malta to let rescue vessels carrying migrants dock, ships might be now unwilling to get involved fearing they will be stranded with migrants aboard and denied a port to disembark them.

On Friday the group’s chartered ship Aquarius, which it operates in partnership with Doctors Without Borders, rescued 141 people in waters off Libya. Of these, 25 were found adrift on a small wooden boat that had no motor and was believed to have been at sea for about 35 hours, the group said.

The other 116 people, including 67 unaccompanied minors, were rescued later that day, it said.

Nearly three-quarters of those rescued originate from Somalia and Eritrea. Many migrants recounted how they were “held in inhumane conditions in Libya,” where human traffickers are based, the aid group aid.

It added that Libya’s rescue coordination authorities wouldn’t provide the Aquarius with “a place of safety” and asked it to request safe harbor from another country’s authorities.

The Aquarius was sailing north in the Mediterranean Sunday in hopes of receiving docking permission from another country.

SOS Mediterranee said that “in a disturbing development, rescued people on board told out teams they encountered five different ships which did not offer them assistance before they were rescued by Aquarius.”

Aboard Aquarius is Doctors Without Borders project coordinator, Aloys Vimard, who elaborated.

“It seems the very principle of rendering assistance to persons in distress at sea is now at stake. Ships might be unwilling to respond to those in distress

due to the high risk of being stranded and denied a place of safety,” the statement quoted Vimard as saying.

SOS Mediterranee said many of those aboard were extremely week and malnourished. Those rescued in recent years have said they receive scanty rations while kept in Libya to await the opportunity to leave on human smugglers’ unseaworthy boats.

“What is of utmost importance is that the survivors are brought to a place of safety without delay, where their basic needs can be met and where they can be protected from abuse,” the group quoted Nick Romaniuk, its search and rescue coordinator as saying.

In June, Aquarius was forced to sail north for days with more than 600 migrants to Spain after Italy and Malta refused it docking permission. Since then, other private rescue vessels have had to wait for days until some country agreed to let migrants disembark.

Italy’s new populist government has vowed that no more private aid ships will bring migrants to Italian shores.

Although arrivals in Italy of rescued migrants smuggled from Libya have sharply dropped off this year compared to previous years, some 600,000 reached Italian ports in the last few years. Italy demands fellow European Union countries take the asylumseekers from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

The tiny EU island nation of Malta says it can’t handle large numbers of migrants.

Cargo and other commercial vessels often have plucked migrants to safety from deflating rubber dinghies and rickety wooden boats. But with Italy’s crackdown, commercial ships risk being blocked for days at sea, unable to carry out their business. Recently a support ship for an offshore oil platform was left in limbo for days after rescuing migrants.

SOS Mediterranee said the Libya rescue coordination center didn’t inform it about migrant boats in distress despite knowing the Aquarius was nearby.

“It was extremely fortunate that we spotted these boats in distress ourselves” on Friday, the group said.

US advising Afghan forces in battle for eastern city

By RAHIM FAIEZ and KATHY GANNON Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The United States has sent military advisers to aid Afghan forces in Ghazni, where they were struggling on Sunday to regain full control three days after the Taliban launched a massive assault on the eastern city.

The assault was a major show of force by the Taliban, who had infiltrated deep into the city and attacked from several directions. In recent years the insurgents have seized several districts across the country and staged near-daily attacks on Afghan security forces, but have been unable to capture and hold urban areas.

The U.S.-led NATO mission has carried out airstrikes in support of Afghan forces. Lt. Col. Martin O’Donnell, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said Afghan forces were engaged in a “cleanup operation,” while acknowledging for the first time that “some U.S. advisers were on the ground.”

The U.S. and NATO formally concluded their combat mission at the end of 2014, but have repeatedly come to the aid of Afghan forces as they have struggled to combat a resurgent Taliban. The insurgents have meanwhile been steadily increasing their political profile, demanding direct talks with Washington and recently meeting with officials in neighboring Uzbekistan.

Ghazni, a key city linking areas of Taliban influence barely 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the capital, Kabul, came under attack early Friday. The Taliban claim to have seized parts of the city, while Afghan officials insist the situation is under control. The Taliban have destroyed a communications tower, severing phone links and making it difficult to confirm details of the fighting.

Afghanistan’s Tolo News reported that a reinforcement convoy of Afghan forces was ambushed Sunday as it made its way from neighboring Paktia province to Ghazni. They were hunkered down about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from Ghazni, it said.

The assault on Ghazni began as the head of the Talban’s political office was wrapping up a rare diplomatic foray in Uzbekistan. Sher Mohammad

Blast in Syria kills at least 36, cause unknown BEIRUT (AP) — An explosion in northern Syria killed at least 36 people Sunday and wounded many others, but the cause of the blast wasn’t immediately known, opposition activists said.

The opposition-run Syrian Civil Defense, first responders also known as the White Helmets, said the blast occurred in the village of Sarmada near the Turkish border, killing 36 people and wounding many others.

The explosion collapsed two five-story buildings, burying many of the victims, it said.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the death toll at 39, including 21 women and children.

An opposition media collective known as the Smart news agency, said the dead included civilians as well as members of the al-Qaida-linked Levant Liberation Committee.

The Observatory said an arms depot in the basement of a building had detonated. It said the depot was run by an arms dealer close to the Levant Liberation Committee.

Meanwhile, Syrian government forces fighting rebels in Idlib province have sent more reinforcements ahead of a potential offensive on the last major rebel stronghold in Syria.

Abbas Stanikzai held meetings with Uzbekistan’s Foreign Minister Abdulaziz Kamilov and other officials.

The Taliban’s four-day trip to Uzbekistan, which ended Friday, was the strongest sign yet of the group’s growing regional clout, while the Ghazni assault has highlighted its military prowess.

Gen. Sharif Yaftali, the Afghan military’s chief of staff, said Sunday that all strategic and government offices in Ghazni are still under government control. He said the insurgents were holed up in residential areas, and predicted that Ghazni would be cleared and the highway to Kabul reopened in a couple days.

But the Taliban appeared to have seized large parts of the city and held them despite a blistering assault by Afghan troops backed by U.S. heli-

Two beautiful campuses (Soldotna and Homer) Certificates, associate, or bachelor degrees

copter gunships, fighter jets and drones. The Taliban have uploaded videos on social media showing captured army vehicles and insurgents walking around and chatting with each other on empty, quiet streets.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani is said to be considering a cease-fire offer for the upcoming Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. A three-day holiday cease-fire in June brought rare quiet to much of the country, but the Taliban rejected a government request to extend it.

Instead, they appear intent on seeking a position of strength ahead of expected talks with the United States, which has been at war in Afghanistan for nearly 17 years.

The Taliban say they met with Alice Wells, the top U.S. diplomat for South Asia, in Qatar last month for preliminary talks. Washington neither con-

firmed nor denied the meeting, but acknowledged Wells was in Qatar, where the Taliban maintain an office. The Taliban said they expect another round of talks.

Andrew Wilder, vice president of Asia programs at the U.S. Institute of Peace, said the Taliban’s attack on Ghazni was “a well-timed effort to demonstrate their military power to strengthen their negotiating position prior to another cease-fire and in the event of peace talks.”

O’Donnell, the U.S. military spokesman, said the Taliban achieved nothing from the Ghazni assault “except another eye-catching, but inconsequential headline.”

But Daniel Markey, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, said U.S. policymakers should be concerned.

The pro-government AlWatan daily said Sunday that huge military reinforcements have reached the outskirts of Idlib province as a preliminary step to launch a wide-scale offensive.

Quoting military sources, the paper said that troops have reached the northern countryside of the neighboring Hamaprovince as part of military preparations to recapture Idlib province.

The expected offensive on Idlib comes after government forces captured major rebel strongholds earlier this year near the capital Damascus and

in the southern provinces of Daraa and Quneitra.

The paper said that the battle would be “comprehensive” starting from Hama’s northern countryside to the southern countryside of Aleppo, adding that the target of the battle is to seize Idlib City.

Government airstrikes on the province on Friday killed dozens.

Pro-government activists said on social media that the elite Tiger Force, led by Brig.

Gen. Suheil al-Hassan, arrived in northern Syria to spearhead what they called the “Dawn of Idlib” operation.

Koepka nabs PGA Championship Woods creates load roars by finishing in 2nd place after a 64

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

ST. LOUIS — The roars were unlike anything Brooks Koepka had ever heard, and he knew exactly what they meant.

They got louder for each birdie by Tiger Woods that moved him closer to the lead Sunday in the PGA Championship, and Koepka could hear a ripple effect of noise. First, real time. Seconds later, another burst from patrons watching on TV in chalets. Then, distant cheers from every corner of Bellerive when the score was posted.

“We knew what was going on,” he said. “It’s pretty obvious when Tiger makes a birdie.

Everybody on the golf course cheers for him.”

Koepka knew exactly what to do.

Amid relentless pandemonium, Koepka ran off three straight birdies to end the front nine and seize control. When he was tied with Adam Scott through 14 holes, with Woods one shot behind, he delivered back-to-back birdies.

The last one was a laser of a 4-iron from 248 yards that settled 6 feet away, sending him to a dream finish of a year that began with the 28-year-old Floridian wondering if a wrist injury that kept him out four months would ever allow him to compete again.

“That will probably go down

as probably one of the best shots I’ve ever hit under pressure,” he said.

He closed with a 4-under 66 for a two-shot victory over Woods and took his place among the elite in golf. Koepka became the fifth player to win the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in the same year, joining Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.

It will be impossible to overlook him now, not with the Wanamaker Trophy to go with his back-to-back U.S. Open titles.

Koepka won two of the three majors he played this year, and three of his last six. Not since Woods won four in a row through the 2001 Masters has anyone won majors at such an

alarming rate.

And yet it still felt — and certainly sounded — as though he played second billing to Woods.

The crowd was enormous, louder than anything in golf this side of Augusta National or a Ryder Cup, and Woods looked closer than ever to capping his comeback from four back surgeries with another major.

Even with two bogeys, Woods shot 64 for his lowest final round in a major. He finished at 266, beating by three shots his best 72-hole score in a major.

At this major, it wasn’t enough.

Harvick triumphs again

Morin returns to top

By LARRY LAGE AP Sports Writer

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Homer’s Chris Morin is back on top at Kenai Golf Course.

From 2014 to 2016, Morin swept the two-day tournaments in Kenai — the Kenai Open and Donald R. Morgan Memorial Club Championship. Morin’s unprecedented dominance of six straight titles came to an end last season, when Max Dye swept both tournaments.

Morin then missed the Kenai Open in early August because he was playing in the State Amateur, but Sunday he rolled to a sixstroke victory in the two-day Morgan Memorial.

In order to win, Morin had to overcome a two-stroke deficit after Gordon Griffin fired a 2-over-par 74 on Saturday.

“Gordon had a 74 the day before and I was two strokes down,” Morin said. “It was good to get back on top.”

Last year, Dye fired a 7-over-par 151 to win the Morgan Memorial. It was the lowest score anybody could remember in that tournament, with Morin’s best during his six-tournament streak being a 155. Morin finished at 151 on Sunday.

“I’m not as concerned with the number,” he said. “I’m more concerned with whether I win or not.”

One of the Kenai Golf Course’s strongest defenses is wind, and usually if it is not windy, it is raining. Saturday and Sunday, with the exception of rain to start Sunday, golfers were treated to perfect scoring conditions.

It showed Saturday, with a remarkable six of the 15 players in the tournament in the 70s.

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Kevin Harvick capped off his father-son weekend by dominating a race and putting 6-year-old son Keelan in the passenger seat to hold the flapping, checkered flag out of the window.

“That was definitely way up there on the bucket list,” Harvick said.

Harvick broke a tie atop NASCAR’s Big 3 by easily winning at Michigan International Speedway for his Cup-high seventh victory of the season.

His No. 4 Ford finished 3-plus seconds ahead of Brad Keselowski’s No. 2 Ford on Sunday in the Consumers Energy 400.

Points leader Kyle Busch finished third in his No. 18 Toyota — more than 4 seconds behind Harvick.

“I was front of him for about 5 laps,” Busch joked.

Busch has won six races this year and Martin Truex Jr. has finished in first four times. The rest of the field has combined to win just six of 23 races.

Truex Jr., the third driver in NASCAR’s Big 3 with Harvick and Busch, was 14th in the 40-car field in his No. 78 Toyota.

Keselowski said he couldn’t be more aggressive late in the 200-lap race because Harvick was simply so far ahead.

Austin Dillon, in the No. 3 Chevrolet, was fourth followed by Ryan Blaney’s No. 12 Ford.

Denny Hamlin led the field to the green flag for the second straight week, but his No. 11 Toyota could not stay ahead. He ended up eighth at MIS after finishing 13th in last week’s race at Watkins Glen.

WHO’S HOT: Harvick won each of three stages and led 108 laps, more than four times more than anyone else on the 2-mile oval.

His seven victories have helped Ford earn 10 Cup victories, matching its total from last year and pulling within one of Toyota’s total.

Bote smashes grand slam as Cubs top Nationals

By The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Pinch-hitter David Bote smashed a grand slam against Ryan Madson with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday night.

Bote’s long drive to center field came after Washington’s Max Scherzer and Chicago’s Cole Hamels delivered simply dominant starts.

Madson (2-5) came in with a 3-0 lead to start the ninth and quickly ran into trouble. He gave up an infield single to Jason Heyward with one out and hit Albert Almora with a pitch. Madson then retired Kyle Schwarber on a foul pop before hitting Contreras to load the bases, but Bote drove a 2-2 pitch well beyond the center-field wall.

RED SOX 4, ORIOLES 1 BALTIMORE — Chris Sale celebrated his return from the disabled list by striking out 12 over five dominant innings, and the Boston Red Sox moved 50 games over .500 by completing a sweep of the lowly Orioles.

Sale (12-4) was placed on the DL on July 28 with left shoulder inflammation.

Judging by his performance, the injury is no longer an issue.

Mitch Haniger delivered an RBI double in the 10th and the Mariners swept a fourgame series from the AL West-leading Astros.

It’s the first time in franchise history that Seattle swept a four-game series from Houston. The third-place Mariners pulled within four games of the Astros.

ROCKIES 4, DODGERS 3 DENVER — Chris Iannetta drew a bases-loaded walk with two out in the ninth inning, and the Rockies beat the Dodgers after squandering a late lead.

It was the second walk-off win in as many days for Colorado. Ryan McMahon lined a three-run homer in the ninth on Saturday.

YANKEES 7, RANGERS 2 NEW YORK — CC Sabathia threw six shutout innings, Giancarlo Stanton homered again and the Yankees won for the sixth time in seven games.

Didi Gregorius also homered and turned in a nifty defensive play for New York. Sabathia (7-4) allowed one hit in his first win since July 4.

Ken Giles got three outs for his 13th save in 13 opportunities.

Tampa Bay’s Jose Alvarado (1-5) got one out and was charged with a run and two hits.

Griffin was at 74, Rene Alvarez and Morin were at 76, Todd Eskelin was at 78, and Larry Jackson and Charlie Kahakauwila were at 79. Morin’s contenders peeled away quickly Sunday, with the Homer golfer already leading his closest pursuer by two strokes after a 1-over-par 37 on the front nine.

Morin was the only one who was able to back up that round Sunday. He had a 75 while Tom Reese, at 78, was the only other player in the 70s.

After Saturday’s round, Morin said he went back and replayed the bad shots in his head. Sunday, he avoided bad shots for the most part, with the exception being a pulled 3-wood of the tee on No. 17 that led to double bogey and kept his tournament score from creeping into the 140s.

Morin said he played poorly during the weekend at the State Amateur.

“It felt nice to get a few good rounds in,” he said.

Griffin and Alvarez tied for second at 157, while Eskelin was fourth at 158.

Alvarez had the top net score at 137, while Kahakauwila was second at 138, Bobby Bush was third at 139, Bill Davis was fourth at 140 and Reese was

“I made a bit of a run. It looks like I’m going to come up a little short.”

Koepka was responsible for that.

After wasting one chance to put it away by missing consecutive birdie chances from 7 feet, Koepka kept attacking flags and ran in birdie putts of 10 feet on No. 15 and 7 feet on No. 16 to end the drama. He tapped in for par on the final hole to set the PGA Championship scoring record at 264. It also tied the major championship record that Henrik Stenson set at Royal Troon two years ago in the British Open.

He also joined Jordan Spieth, Woods, Nicklaus and Tom Watson as the only players with three majors before turning 30 since World War II. “Three majors at 28 — it’s a cool feeling,” said Koepka, who five years ago was toiling in Europe’s minor leagues.

Scott hung around by making big putts, just like he hoped, and was tied for the lead until Koepka’s birdies. Scott missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th that would have pulled him to within one shot — right after Koepka missed from the same range — and then made bogey on the 18th for a 67 to finish alone in third.

The only knock on Koepka is that he doesn’t win enough elsewhere — the Phoenix Open on the PGA Tour, the Turkish Airlines Open on the European Tour, and two victories at the Dunlop Phoenix on the Japan Golf Tour.

“He’s won three majors now, so he’s definitely winning the right ones,” Scott said. “If I was him, I wouldn’t change much at the moment. I’d just keep doing what he’s doing because he’s showing up at the right moments in the biggest events. There’s something inside his brain that makes him believe that that’s what he’s destined to do.”

The St. Louis fans waited 17 years to see Woods — he last was at Bellerive when the Sept.

Saturday, Griffin took closest to the pin at No. 5, while Davis won at No. 9, John White won at No. 10 and Bush won at No. 14. Skins went to Morin, Jackson, Bush, Alvarez, Greg Matturro and Reese.

Sunday, the closest-to-thepin winners were Kirk Hyman at Nos. 5 and 10, Pat Bowen at No. 9 and Griffin at No. 14.

This week, Kenai hosts the Peninsula Cup, with best ball at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, alternate shot at 5:30 p.m. Friday and singles at 11 a.m. Sunday.

The event, which puts Kenai Golf Course against Birch Ridge Golf Course, was formerly known at the Walker Cup. The last time the event was played was in 2014, when Kenai won to take a 5-4-1 lead in the series.

11 terrorist attacks canceled a World Golf Championship — and he delivered a performance that took golf back in time.

Thomas Bjorn might have seen it coming. Earlier in the week, as he was cleaning out his locker after withdrawing with an injury, he thought back to Woods getting into contention at Carnoustie last month at the British Open. “He recognized who that guy was that day,” Bjorn said.

Woods was relentless, pumping fists, raising the putter in his left hand, making birdies and charging toward a finish that caused pure pandemonium among one of the largest and noisiest crowds at a major.

Without hitting a fairway on the front nine, Woods cut the four-shot deficit to two.

Dialed in on the back nine, he dropped an approach into 4 feet on No. 12, got within one shot with a 10-foot birdie on the par-3 13th and, after a bad drive led to bogey, he answered with another approach that hit a foot from the hole.

That was as good as it got.

Facing the most important drive of the day on the par-5 17th, Woods sent it sailing to the right and it embedded in a hazard along the banks of a creek. He did well to advance it, but had to save par from a bunker. Behind him, Koepka holed his two birdie putts.

Woods and Koepka played nine holes of a practice round Wednesday, and the 14-time major champion knew what he was up against.

“It’s tough to beat when the guy hits it 340 down the middle,” Woods said. “What he did at Shinnecock, just bombing it, and then he’s doing the same thing here. ... And when a guy’s doing that and hitting it straight, and as good a putter as he is, it’s tough to beat.”

Koepka never imagined a year like this. He missed four months at the start of the year when a partially torn tendon in his left wrist, causing him to sit out the Masters. He outlasted good friend Dustin Johnson at Shinnecock Hills to become the first back-to-back U.S. Open champion in 29 years.

Sports Briefs Browns’ Mayfield remains a backup BEREA, Ohio — He’s still Baker the backup.

Despite rookie Baker Mayfield’s stellar performance in his NFL preseason debut, the Cleveland Browns are not moving the No. 1 overall pick into the starting lineup ahead of Tyrod Taylor.

“National hype,” quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese said, downplaying the outside push to elevate Mayfield after one game. “We have our plan, we’re sticking to it and when it changes we’ll all know.”

Mayfield won over some doubters on Thursday night in a 20-10 win over the New York Giants. The Heisman Trophy winner from Oklahoma threw two touchdown passes to tight end David Njoku and showed pocket poise and awareness while completing 11 of 20 passes for 212 yards.

The reviews on Mayfield were exceptional, leading to cries that he should jump Taylor, who went 5 for 5 for 99 yards and posted a perfect 158.3 rating during his two series.

Following Sunday’s practice, Browns coach Hue Jackson began shaking his head the moment a reporter began framing a question about the QB situation.

“Nothing’s changed. Tyrod Taylor is our starter,” Jackson said.

“Baker Mayfield is a young, talented player. We have a bright, bright future here with that young man.” — The Associated Press

Attorney wants Durkin fired BALTIMORE (AP) — The attorney for the family of the University of Maryland offensive lineman who died after a strenuous offseason workout is calling for Terrapins football coach DJ Durkin to be fired, citing the abusive culture of the program and the team’s failure to properly react after Jordan McNair fell ill on the practice field.

The 19-year-old McNair was hospitalized May 29 and died June 13. McNair family attorney Billy Murphy Jr. said Sunday he’s seen the preliminary death certificate and has concluded, “This is an obvious heatstroke case.”

Durkin was placed on ad-

ministrative leave Saturday in the wake of reports that he and his staff verbally abused and humiliated players since his arrival in College Park, Maryland, two years ago.

“Coach Durkin should be fired immediately,” Murphy said.

“His conduct and the conduct of the coaches was reprehensible.

They were not prepared ... to deal with a heatstroke incident.”

Murphy also contended the climate of the program was all wrong, and cannot be corrected unless Durkin is no longer part of it. Durkin “fostered a horrible culture,” Murphy said, that included “physical and verbal” abuse of players.

“And the third reason he ought to be fired is: How are you going to have a viable football program as long as it is possible for him to become the coach again?” Murphy said.

Murphy has not yet filed a lawsuit against the school on behalf of the family, but said that’s only a matter of time. Dr. Rod Walters, a former college athletic trainer, has been hired by Maryland to head an independent investigation, which is expected to be available by Sept. 15.

“In the best of all possible worlds we want to wait until that investigation is released,” Murphy said.

Maryland has put two high-

ranking members of the athletic training staff on administrative leave. Murphy said an investigation by his law firm determined the team’s head trainer, Wes Robinson, was on the scene when McNair collapsed.

“We have corroborated facts that Wes Robinson made completely callous statements to Jordan McNair as he was suffering from heatstroke, as his temperature was rising to 106 degrees,” Murphy said. “He yelled at Jordan McNair, ‘Drag (your butt) across the field.’ That is absolutely reprehensible and completely reflects the culture that we’re saying and has been pervading the University of Maryland.”

Girlfriend questions texting from boyfriend’s worried mom engage in conversations with anyone who makes you uncomfortable, and if someone ventures into sensitive territory, you have every right to say you prefer not to discuss it and change the subject. If she wants information about her son, the person she should be asking is him.

DEAR ABBY: My husband is still working, although Abigail Van Buren he will retire in a few years.

We have been in our home since 1987. It is comfortable, but it’s too big for us and too much work now. Our grandkids live four hours away, and we are thinking about moving near them. My son’s in-laws have already relocated from New York.

I am having terrible anxiety about leaving my home and our large lot, which is covered with beautiful trees in all seasons. We have looked at “over-55” communities, and the yards are small and treeless. I love my trees -- especially the magnolia my husband and sons planted many years ago. I also adore seeing all the birds and wildlife.

Hints from Heloise

Rubes

within you. Take others’ comments seriously. Tonight: Stay close to home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You sometimes hold back and do not reveal what you think. Your emotional intensity is so high that you worry about someone misrepresenting your feelings. Use your mind to get past petty issues or to become more reflective of who you really are. Tonight: Keep a conversation moving.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Take a hard look at an uncomfortable situation. You might wonder how to handle the issue.

Do you want to avoid it? Could you consider being dominant and having others agree with you? By airing different perspectives, you might clarify the issue. Tonight: Go with the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others might be especially positive right now. A partner or loved one inspires you to get past a self-imposed limitation. Your creativity flourishes once more. A new friend will manipulate you in order to get what he or she desires. Tonight: Act like there is no tomorrow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Pull back and let others take the lead. The issue is not about being gracious, but about allowing others to understand the implications of leading. A demanding family member tries to make an adjustment, but probably won’t succeed.

Tonight: Let someone do a reversal without interruption.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Zero in on what you want. Allow more fun and energy into your day. You sometimes get too serious, causing conversations

By Leigh Rubin

Ziggy

and projects to be much more difficult than necessary. A child or new friend could add a touch of confusion to your day. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You feel as if you cannot make any changes no matter what you do. Try a different route, since the present approach does not seem to be working. Open up to new ideas and a more dynamic tactic. Let go of what has not worked, and listen to new ideas. Tonight: Out late.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Stretch as far as you can, and you will start seeing the benefits.

You might be feeling confused. Try verbalizing some of the questions in your mind. Soon, you will draw a conclusion that is viable and that works well for everyone, including you. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your efficiency and ability to relate to others emerges. The universe gives you feedback as to what works. Do not allow someone to take advantage of your giving nature. Gain greater clarity about personal issues. Don’t hesitate to express your ideas. Tonight: Out and about.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH If in a competitive situation, the other party might have the edge on you. This person’s determination pushes him or her. You could be too tired to make a move immediately. Listen to others and weigh the suggestions. Allow your mind to deliberate. Tonight: Follow your heart.

SOCK IT TO ME Dear Heloise: When sorting my family’s laundry, I could never tell which were my son’s socks and which were my husband’s, because they both wear the same size. Now I code the socks by using a few stitches of red thread for one and blue or yellow for the other. I just sew an “X” on the toe of each sock.

-- Becky A., Claremont, N.H. ELECTRIC GRIDDLES Dear Heloise: I have a sticky substance that is stuck on my electric griddle. How do I get it off without damaging the surface?

-- Abby M., Cumberland, Md. Abby, first, always clean your griddle after each time you use it. Use a wooden or plastic spatula (not a metal one, which could scratch the nonstick surface) to gently scrape off any stuck-on food into the collection tray or into a corner, then scoop it out. While the surface is warm, pour water on it so that it bubbles. Use the scrubbie side of a sponge (never steel wool) with a little dishwashing soap and water to gently clean the surface. Finish by wiping first with a damp paper towel, then a dry one.

-- Heloise STABBING THE FINGERS Dear Heloise: It seems that every time I reach into my sewing basket, I stab my fingers on my scissors. Help!

-- Lennie S., Escanaba, Mich.

Lennie, stick the pointed end of your scissors into a piece of cork.

-- Heloise TOMATO LOVE Dear Heloise: I love growing tomatoes, but in my tiny yard, there’s no room anymore.

Any ideas?

-- Barb O., Middlesboro, Ky. Barb, you can always grow cherry tomatoes in a hanging basket, or the larger varieties in a pot with a tomato cage.

-- Heloise

SUDOKU

By Tom Wilson

Sudoku is a number-placing puzzle based on a 9x9 grid with several given numbers.

The object is to place the numbers 1 to 9 in the empty squares so that each row, each column and each 3x3 box contains the same number only once. The difficulty level of the Conceptis Sudoku increases from Monday to Friday.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Aug. 13, 2018: This year you create a stronger image, and others clearly know where you are coming from. Your personality draws people toward you. If you are single, you could fuss until you meet the right person for you. This possibility exists from late fall onward. If you are attached, the two of you have strong ideas about how to handle your shared funds. If they don’t coincide, consider getting separate bank accounts. Do not allow money to become an issue. A fellow LEO often reminds you to be more open-minded.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You can handle any disparaging comments. Focus on the problem at hand; confusion surrounds even the clearest statements. If you do not understand what is happening, ask questions.

Observers admire your attention to detail. Tonight: Take a strong role in a decision.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Uproar could surround your actions and decisions. Perhaps the issue is not what you say, but how others interpret your statements. Use your renowned precision when handling an intellectual issue. Be ready to back up a statement with action. Tonight: Break past barriers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Be aware of the sensitivity of certain topics if dealing with matters involving your personal life and/or domestic problems. You might not be grasping the whole story, as a natural distortion exists

By Eugene Sheffer

How do other relocators handle the move? I know I should focus on the positive aspects, such as getting rid of our clutter and being near the grands, but I’m having trouble with this. Help, please.

-- GETTING READY IN GEORGIA DEAR GETTING READY: I’m glad you wrote now, because you have lots of time to plan the move you are considering. If what you will miss the most about your home is the trees, perhaps the over-55 communities in the area to which you are relocating are not for you. Take some time, talk with a real estate agent and explore what smaller homes might be right for you. However, if an over-55 community is a must, perhaps you can find one that’s near a park where you can go and enjoy the trees and wildlife.

As to the memories you will leave behind, you will always have them to look back on, and you will be creating new ones every day.

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “James” for almost a year. Things have been rough for him recently.

His depression has led to school attendance issues, but we got through it.

The problem is James’ mother. She’s well meaning, and she has always been incredibly sweet to me, but she has started texting and questioning me about how I am doing, regarding her son and the “trials” he brings to our relationship (or her perception of them). I appreciate her concern, but it makes me very uncomfortable.

Perhaps she asks out of concern for me, but it seems like she’s trying to speak on his behalf or defend him somehow, which makes me feel awful. How can I explain to her that something which is meant to be as simple as “Are you doing OK?” is hurting me?

-- TWISTED UP DEAR TWISTED UP: If James’ depression is severe enough that it is interfering with his education, his mother has a right to be concerned. She may be trying to assess its severity by reaching out to you. On the other hand, “How are you doing?” can be classified as an innocent question.

Because you are uncomfortable with the way these conversations are going, respond that you are fine and ask her how SHE is doing. You do not have to
