In the news Soldier dies in rollover of military vehicle in Alaska ANCHORAGE — A soldier died when his military vehicle rolled during training in Interior Alaska.

The Army says the crash killed 25-year-old Spc. Marquise Gabriel Elliott on Friday in the Yukon Training Area at Fort Wainwright.

Elliott was driving with one passenger when the vehicle rolled. He was treated at the scene by medics and flown by military helicopter to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The passenger was treated in the field for injuries to his lower extremities.

Both soldiers were from the 377th Parachute Field Artillery Regiment.

Elliott was from Charlotte, North Carolina. He joined the Army in October 2015. He was assigned to Alaska in April 2016.

Elliott served in Afghanistan from September 2017 to May 2018.

Juneau fire chief uses garden hose to slow apartment fire JUNEAU — Juneau’s fire chief used a garden hose to fight a fire he spotted as he drove by.

The Juneau Empire reports Chief Rich Etheridge was heading downtown Thursday when he saw dark smoke coming south of the Macaulay Salmon Hatchery.

Etheridge turned his car around and saw that the smoke was pouring from an upstairs apartment.

A building owner was trying to put the fire out with a garden hose.

Etheridge took the hose, punched out a window and sprayed water onto the fire until fire trucks arrived.

Assistant Chief Ed Quinto says the fire could have spread quickly in the wooden apartment building if Etheridge had not intervened.

Assembly meeting controversy Satanic Temple invocation prompts protest, walkouts

By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

A member of the Satanic Temple offered an invocation at Tuesday’s Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly meeting, prompting walkouts from about a dozen attendees and borough officials, and a protest outside the building.

The invocation was the first given by the Satanic Temple since the borough changed its invocation policy in November. The new policy allows for anyone in the borough to offer an invocation, no matter their religion. The change in policy came after the Alaska Superior Court found the former policy unconstitutional and in violation of the state’s constitution’s establishment clause.

In her invocation, Iris Fontana — a member of the Satanic Temple and the prevailing plaintiff in the lawsuit against the borough — called

“Let us demand that humans be judged for their ac-

As of Wednesday at 12:01 a.m., the bag limit on the Russian River and Upper Kenai will become nine fish per day with 18 fish in possession. This Fish and Game emergency order will be in effect until July 7.

“We opened the waters of the sanctuary and increased the bag limit from three to six last week and sockeye salmon keep pouring into the Russian River,” Area Management Biologist Colton Lipka said in a press release.

“With these numbers, it is appropriate to increase the limits and allow anglers an opportunity to harvest more See FISH, page A2

Lawmakers collect pay despite not finishing on time

By Alex McCarthy Juneau Empire

Legislators wasted very little time in ensuring they got per diem back payments for the recently finished special session.

Four hours and nine minutes after the Alaska

Legislature adjourned its 29-day special session this past Thursday, the Legislative Council voted to allow lawmakers to get all of their per diem payments for that session. They voted to do that despite House Bill 44, which passed into law last year and states that

legislators wouldn’t receive a per diem — a daily payment meant to cover living and eating expenses — if they didn’t pass a budget on time. This year, the Legislature didn’t pass a budget until June 10.

The Legislative Council, which is a group of 14

senators and representatives in leadership positions that makes decisions related to the Legislature, met Thursday afternoon to discuss a couple items including the per diem question. Megan Wallace, director of Legislative Legal Services, presented to the

council and said it’s possible to interpret HB 44 as allowing lawmakers to get per diem after the fact.

The members of the council then voted 12-2 to allow themselves and other legislators to collect per diems for the 29 prior days.

Nikiski turns out for a day of family fun Seward,

Homer receive federal shipyard grants

By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Nikiski residents flocked to the North Peninsula Recreation Center on Saturday to play carnival games, eat local food, listen to live music and win all sorts of prizes during the annual Family Fun in the Midnight Sun festival. Both the Nikiski Pool and the Rec Center had full parking lots, and cars lined the road trying to find space. Family Fun in the Midnight Sun is the largest community event in Nikiski — and one of the oldest on the peninsula.

Rachel Parra, director of the North Peninsula Recreation Service Area, said that the festival draws more than 1,000 people every year and that this year saw an even bigger crowd than usual.

This year’s festival started Saturday morning See PARK, page A15

Climate change forcing some villages to relocate QUINHAGAK (AP) — Accelerating erosion is forcing villages in western Alaska to begin making plans to move, officials said.

Erosion caused by climate change threatens village infrastructure and could force the relocation of communities such as Quinhagak, Alaska’s Energy Desk reported Monday.

A 2012 state report listed Quinhagak’s sewer lagoon and multipurpose building as top priorities for replacement or repair because of erosion and thawing

permafrost.

Erosion now threatens Quinhagak’s airstrip, water treatment plant and water and sewer system, officials said.

Quinhagak’s sewer lagoon and the building holding the laundromat and health clinic have experienced the worst impacts, creating a public health problem, said tribal administrator Ferdinand Cleveland.

The village installed thermosiphons, systems designed to keep the ground from thawing, See FORCE, page A3

As of June 17, 50,641 These numbers already ex-

“These grants help create jobs in America’s small shipyards, which play a significant role in our country’s maritime sector,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said.

JAG Alaska, Inc. Seward Shipyard will be awarded $976,298 to improve the shipyards water wash-down and recovery system, as well as upgrades for its vessel transport system, the release said.

“These upgrades will allow the facility to increase the utilization of its existing berthing areas and improve its overall efficiency,” the release said.

Northern Enterprises Boat Yard, Inc., in Homer, will receive $604,053 in grants.

The funding supports “a new 150-metric ton Travelift, enabling the shipyard to increase its project efficiency, enhance

production rates and become more cost-competitive.”

Since 2008, the Maritime Administration’s Small Shipyard Grant Program has awarded more than $226 million through 216 grants that help fund upgrades and expansions leading to more competitive operations, quality ship construction and improved employee skill, the release said.

resent them.

Anchorage Superior Court Judge Andrew Peterson ruled the invocation policy violated the Alaska Constitution’s establishment clause, which is a mandate banning government from establishing an official religion or the favoring of one belief over another. Article 1, Section 4 of the constitution provides that “no law shall be made respecting an establishment of religion.”

In November, the assembly voted against appealing the Superior Court decision and passed an updated invocation policy allowing more

people the ability to give invocations at assembly meetings.

Several people addressed the borough’s invocation policy during the meeting’s allotted time for public comment.

Michele Hartline and Paul Huber, both from Nikiski, offered their own Christian prayers during public comment.

Barrett Fletcher, who is the pastor of the First Lower Peninsula Congregation of Pastafarians, said the borough should do away with invocations and “stop offending people.”

“I’m sure when I give the invocation in Homer in Sep-

tember there will be people that are offended by the idea of a creator of the universe, the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster, being invoked,” Fletcher said.

Greg Andersen, Kenai resident, also spoke to the policy during his public comment. He warned the room he’ll be giving the next invocation.

“This is just some advanced notice for those of you who have a hard time accepting that some people have beliefs that are different than your own,” Andersen said. “You can turn your back and walk out like I witnessed this evening.”

vocations. Assembly members Norm Blakeley and Paul Fischer stepped out of the assembly chambers, along with chief of staff James Baisden and Mayor Charlie Pierce — as well as a handful of audience members.

Two Soldotna police officers were present for the invocation, staying in the assembly chambers entryway.

About 40 people, some holding signs reading “reject Satan and his works” and “know Jesus and his love,” demonstrated outside the borough building before and during the meeting.

In October, the borough lost a lawsuit against plaintiffs represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Alaska in a fight over its invocation policy, which allowed certain groups and individuals to offer an invocation at the beginning of each meeting.

The plaintiffs, Lance Hunt, an atheist, Fontana and Elise Boyer, a member of the Jewish community in Homer, all applied to give invocations after the policy was established in 2016. All three were denied because they didn’t belong to official organizations with an established presence on the peninsula. They sued and the ACLU Alaska agreed to rep-

What others say

Numbers don’t lie; seat belts save lives Here’s another one you’ve heard

from us before, but it appears our admonitions (and state law) aren’t been heeded.

For 28 years — this is nothing new, more than a generation has passed since it was enacted — front-seat passengers in vehicles on Alabama streets and highways have been required to wear seat belts.

That requirement will become broader on Sept.

1, when a bill passed by the Legislature this year requiring back-seat passengers to buckle up as well takes effect. (Gov. Kay Ivey signed it last week.)

We’d like to believe people are displaying good sense and following the law. Some recent numbers published by the Tuscaloosa News give us an uneasy feeling.

The University of Alabama’s Center for Advanced Public Safety analyzed the data from 2018 vehicle crashes in the state. It found that nearly half of the people who died in those crashes — 366 of 743 — weren’t wearing seat belts.

Check out these other numbers from the survey: — The probability of dying in a vehicle accident is roughly 50 times higher when you aren’t buckled up. The odds of a fatality in a given accident are 1 in 1,000 for seat belt wearers, compared to 1 in 24 for those who don’t buckle up.

— A researcher at the Center for Advanced Public Safety said it’s “almost impossible” to be ejected from a vehicle if you’re wearing a seat belt. The odds of dying are 1 in 5 if you are ejected, and even if you survive the chances are strong that you’re going to get maimed.

— Drivers who drink (another no-no) or drive fast and aggressively (ditto) are significantly more likely to drive unrestrained.

— Also, more drivers on rural roads — where the risk of serious crashes is higher because of adjacent wooded areas — fail to buckle up.

This level of non-compliance is unacceptable — and we’re fully aware of our lecturing tone, and have no illusions that law enforcement is going to compel full compliance anytime soon. (The penalty for not buckling up is just $25 and while we’d be on board, we doubt there’s much of an appetite for strengthening it.)

We know the libertarian, “it’s my body, my life and my business” types will never be convinced either. (It would be a simpler world, but not a realistic one, if individuals actually did exist in vacuums where their actions legitimately impacted no one else.)

It’s worth another try, though, because we sort of like to keep people (and customers) alive and in one piece.

The advantages of wearing seat belts are indisputable. The negatives are non-existent.

Seat belts save lives, period.

Please buckle up.

— The Gadsden Times (Alabama), June 10

Tourism in the era of middle-class acquiescence A laska V oices R ich M oniak Depending on your perspective, tourism in Juneau is either a marvelous success story or one of such overcrowding that it disrupts the joy of living here. Normally I sympathize with residents who believe the City and Borough of Juneau Assembly should limit the number of cruise ship passengers arriving each day. Other tourist destinations have done it, so why not us?

But as characters in the middleclass success story, we first ought to examine the “thorny questions of ethics and values” posed by the World Travel & Tourism Council.

This summer we’re expecting more than 1.2 million cruise ship visitors.

That’s a six-fold increase since 1990.

“The root cause of this surge in tourism is macroeconomic,” Annie Lowrey wrote in a recent Atlantic article about the phenomenon called overtourism. “The middle class is global now, and tens of millions of people have acquired the means to travel over the past few decades.”

But for all its downsides, she argues overtourism is also an opportunity for “more cross-cultural exposure, more investment, more global connection, more democratization of travel, and perhaps more awe and wonder.”

In their study titled “Coping With Success,” McKinsey & Company and the World Travel & Tourism Council describe solutions that would erase

those opportunities for more as matter of “value over volume.” And they ask if it’s “reasonable to reduce visitor numbers to a more sustainable level if that action also makes the destination accessible only to the wealthy.”

Such a possibility draws us back to a time when only “wealthy nobles and educated professionals” could afford the luxury of recreational travel. “For them,” Ueli Gyr explains in his 2010 study published by European History Online, “travelling was a demonstrative expression of their social class which communicated power, status, money and leisure.”

Remove the word “nobles” and the rest Gyr’s statement could apply to the middle and upper echelons of today’s middle class. We have the money, education and jobs that give us travel opportunities not available to everyone. And in an America supposedly committed to the self-evident truths declared in our founding history, we have sheepishly acquiesced to the sole surviving law on George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

Orwell is best known for 1984, the second allegory about Soviet Unionstyle totalitarianism he wrote in the 1940s. But if we’re to keep stock in how his prescient warnings are still relevant today, we must look below the primary metaphors and pay attention to the societal realities that also troubled him. Because Big Brother and the pig named Napoleon couldn’t have become powerful without a class underneath that, in order to improve and sustain their relative comfort and security, tolerated the authoritarian rulers.

Animal Farm is a story of a farm animals who overthrow their human master. They write a new governing

constitution with “Seven Commandments,” three of which forbid animals from adopting human behavior.

A few years after their revolution, Napoleon and a compliant legion of pigs become comfortable sleeping in beds, wearing clothes and consuming alcohol. Aside from the guard dogs taught to protect the new elite, the rest reluctantly accept the violations.

By the end of the story, all they’ve got left is an “imperishable pride” about the heroic battles of the past. The one commandment that wasn’t abolished was amended from “All animals are equal” to include “but some animals are more equal than others.” And they could no longer tell the difference between the pigs living in the farmhouse and their human neighbors.

This is more than a classical tale about corruption at the top echelons of power. The moral depicted by Napoleon becoming what all the animals once despised speaks to the tendency to forget our concern about inequality once we’ve climbed above the disadvantaged rungs of the class ladder.

Given that tourism is seen as an earned privilege by liberals and conservatives alike, it’s an issue where questions of equality might transcend political boundaries. Overcrowded tourist destinations can be troubling here and during our own travels.

And just as the World Travel & Tourism Council tells us they can’t ignore the “thorny” questions that raised for them, we ought to take that as a cue to wonder what other ethical conflicts we tolerate in order to sustain our class comforts.

what had happened. We were both in shock. When she came out, I asked her if I could give her a hug. She said I could. I did and then I talked with her husband. He said she was like that. He also told me they were taking knocked-down fuel tanks to be flown to some village in Alaska. They were driving a matched pair of new large sleeper tractors with matching stepped-down trailers.

As we drove off, my friend told me his wife had also pressed $40 in her hand and said it was for breakfast. We are both in shock and awe for this random act of kindness.

This shows once again there are good people in our world. Thank you.

Support and participate in the 2020 census Through the census count taken every 10 years, Alaskans benefit by an average of $3,000 per person every year, which extrapolated over the 10year census period results in $30,000 per person — or $120,000 for a family of four. The federal government passes that money to Alaska in benefits and services at our local levels.

So it’s very important to all of us to make sure every resident in Alaska is counted in the 2020 census. Please encourage your friends, family and neighbors to participate in the 2020 census.

33K pounds of cocaine seized in one of biggest US drug busts

By MICHAEL RUBINKAM and MATT ROURKE The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — U.S. authorities seized 33,000 pounds, or 15,000 kilograms, of cocaine from a ship at Philadelphia’s port in what they described as one of the largest drug busts in American history.

They said the haul could have been worth more than $1 billion on the street.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Philadelphia announced the massive bust on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon, saying that law enforcement agents found the cocaine on a ship at the Packer Marine Terminal. Two members of the crew were arrested and face federal charges.

Agents with dogs swarmed the colossal ship Tuesday afternoon, including one officer who could be seen climbing into the back of a large red container on wheels. Court documents said the bust began Monday.

An affidavit alleged that crew members helped load

the cocaine onto the MSC Gayane while it was at sea off the west coast of South America. Citing an interview with one of the crew members, authorities said a total of 14 boats approached the vessel on two separate occasions during its voyage.

Several crew members allegedly helped transfer bales of cocaine.

The ship’s second mate, Ivan Durasevic, and another crew member, Fonofaavae Tiasage, were charged with conspiracy to possess cocaine aboard a ship. An online court docket did not list attorneys for the defendants.

It wasn’t clear whether other crew members would face charges.

The drug seizure is the latest in a series of large cocaine busts along the East Coast. In a March bust in Philadelphia, drug dogs sniffed out 1,185 pounds of cocaine worth about $38 million — at that time the city’s largest seizure of the drug in more than two decades.

In February, customs

agents seized 3,200 pounds at the Port of New York and New Jersey with a street value estimated at $77 million.

That was the largest cocaine bust at the ports since 1994.

Online ship trackers said the vessel detained in Philadelphia sails under the flag of Liberia and arrived in Philadelphia after 5 a.m.

Monday. The ship’s previous ports of call were the Bahamas on June 13, Panama on June 9, Peru on May 24 and Colombia on May 19, records show.

Federal authorities say Colombia is the primary supplier of cocaine to the U.S. The MSC Gayane’s owner, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co., said in a statement it was “aware of reports of an incident at the Port of Philadelphia in which U.S. authorities made a seizure of illicit cargo.” The privately owned Swiss shipping company said it “takes this matter very seriously and is grateful to the authorities for identifying any suspected abuse of its services.”

PG&E to pay $1 billion to governments for wildfire damage

By ADAM BEAM Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— A California utility that operated power lines that ignited several huge, deadly wildfires has agreed to pay $1 billion in damages to 14 local governments.

More than half of the money from Pacific Gas & Electric would go to four governments impacted by a 2018 fire that killed 85 people and destroyed nearly 14,000 homes in Paradise.

A total of $270 million would go to Paradise, which was mostly destroyed in the blaze. The town had 26,000 residents before the fire and now has less than 3,000 people. It has lost more than 90% of its tax revenue.

“There is some relief and hope in knowing that we will have some financial stability,” Paradise Town Manager Lauren Gill said.

“We can’t do disaster recovery and rebuild the town if we don’t have people to do it.”

PG&E filed for bankruptcy in January as it faced at least $30 billion in potential damages in lawsuits filed by local governments, insurance companies and private property owners.

While Tuesday’s settlement would resolve the government claims, it still must be approved by a bankruptcy court. That likely won’t happen until lawsuits by insurance companies and private property owners are resolved.

“The bankruptcy court approval is not trivial,” said Mike Danko, part of a group of attorneys who represent about 2,800 wildfire victims in a lawsuit against PG&E. Danko said they are “definitely not” close to resolving the lawsuit.

PG&E spokesman Paul Doherty called the settlement “an important first step toward an orderly, fair and expeditious resolution of wildfire claims.”

“We remain focused on supporting our customers and communities impacted by wildfires and helping

them recover and rebuild,” he said.

High winds knocking down power lines during the hot, dry summer months have been blamed for starting several of the state’s most destructive wildfires.

Last month, regulators agreed to let utilities temporarily cut off electricity to possibly hundreds of thousands of customers during peak fire conditions to avoid starting more wildfires.

The outages could mean multiday blackouts for cities as large as San Francisco and San Jose, Northern California’s major power provider warned in a recent filing with the utilities commission.

“Nobody who lives in the wildfire zone should consider themselves to have reliable electricity.

They should prepare accordingly,” Mike Picker, president of the California Public Utilities Commission, told the Sacramento Press Club on Tuesday.

Shanahan drops bid to lead Pentagon, citing ‘painful’ past

By LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan stepped down Tuesday before his formal nomination ever went to the Senate, citing a “painful” family situation that would hurt his children and reopen “wounds we have worked years to heal.”

President Donald Trump announced Shanahan’s departure in a tweet, and said Army Secretary Mark Esper would be the new acting Pentagon chief.

“I believe my continuing in the confirmation process would force my three children to relive a traumatic chapter in our family’s life and reopen wounds we have worked years to heal,” Shanahan said in a statement. “Ultimately, their safety and well-being is my highest priority.”

190520 SOV His withdrawal from one

of the most critical positions in the government comes at a time of escalating tensions in the Middle East, a day after the U.S. authorized sending additional troops to the region, and after months of unexplained delays in the confirmation process.

The acting defense secretary did not provide specifics, but court records show a volatile family history around the time of his 2011 divorce. The couple had been married since 1986.

His ex-wife, Kimberley, was arrested several times on charges that included burglary, property damage and assault. The assault charge was a misdemeanor for domestic violence in August 2010 when, according to police records, she hit Shanahan a number of times, giving him a bloody nose and black eye. The Arts Council Solstice police report said she was

not injured, and he was not charged.

There was also a separate November 2011 incident in which the couple’s son, who was 17 at the time, struck his mother with a baseball bat in the home where he lived with her in Sarasota, Florida, according to court records. He pleaded guilty to battery and was sentenced to four years of probation.

In an interview with The Washington Post shortly before Trump announced

that Shanahan was withdrawing his nomination, Shanahan spoke about the circumstances surrounding his 2011 divorce and said he didn’t want to drag his children through the experience again.

“Bad things can happen to good families … and this is a tragedy, really,” Shanahan told the Post.

In his statement, Shanahan said he asked to be withdrawn from the nomination process and would work on an “appropriate transition.”

WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee will interview former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks behind closed doors on Wednesday, the first time lawmakers will hear from a person linked to the president’s inner circle since the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

Obtaining the testimony from Hicks, a close and trusted former aide to President Donald Trump, is a significant victory for Democrats as Trump has broadly stonewalled their investigations. The committee originally subpoenaed Hicks to give public testimony, but agreed to the closed-door interview after negotiations. A transcript of the session will be released in the days afterward.

Still, it is unclear how much new information Hicks will provide. She already cooperated extensively with Mueller’s probe, and a White House lawyer who will be in the room for the interview is expected to try and block her from answering certain questions.

In a letter sent to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler on Tuesday, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone wrote that Trump had directed Hicks not to answer questions “relating to the time of her service as a senior adviser to the president.”

Cipollone cited executive privilege, or the power to keep information from the courts, Congress and the public to protect the confidentiality of the Oval Office decision-making process. Democrats say they disagree that her answers are covered by such privilege, especially since she has already cooperated with Mueller.

The panel has also subpoenaed Hicks for documents, but she has only partially complied. She agreed to provide some information from her work on Trump’s campaign, according to the Judiciary panel, but none from her time at the White House.

Jon Stewart keeping up pressure on Mitch McConnell NEW YORK — Comic Jon Stewart used his buddy Stephen Colbert’s late-night show to keep the heat on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for passage of legislation to replenish a victims’ fund for first responders to the 9/11 attacks.

Stewart mocked McConnell on Colbert’s “Late Show” Monday night, even though the Senate leader had said earlier Monday that the issue would be addressed. Stewart demanded greater urgency.

A longtime advocate for police and firefighters who worked after the attacks, Stewart is taking a biting lobbying effort to platforms that McConnell isn’t necessarily used to.

The former host of “The Daily Show” testified last week at a public hearing on a bill that would ensure the fund can pay benefits for 70 years. He scolded legislators who had not shown up. He turned his attention to McConnell, appearing over the weekend with Chris Wallace on Fox. “Many things in Congress happen at the last minute,” McConnell said Monday on Fox News Channel.

“We’ve never failed to address this issue and we will address it again … I don’t know why he’s bent out of shape.”

Stewart accused McConnell of slow-walking the legislation and using it as a political pawn to get other things done.

“If you’re busy I get it,” Stewart said. “Just understand that the next time we have war, or you’re being robbed, or your house is on fire and you make that desperate call for help, don’t get bent out of shape if they show up at the last minute with fewer people than you thought would pay attention and don’t actually put it out. Just leave it there smoldering for another five years.”

He urged McConnell to meet right away with 9/11 survivors and “don’t make them beg.”

More than 40,000 people have applied to the fund, which covers illnesses potentially related to rescue work at the World Trade Center site, the Pentagon or Shanksville, Pennsylvania. More than $5 billion in benefits have been awarded out of the $7.4 billion fund, with about 21,000 claims pending.

Asked again about it on Tuesday, McConnell said, “I don’t know how many times I can say, we’ve never left the 9/11 victims behind and we won’t again.”

The legislation must pass the House first, where the Democrats have promised a vote before their August recess.

EU fights to keep nuclear deal alive

By LORNE COOK Associated Press

BRUSSELS — A year after the United States pulled out of the Iran nuclear agreement, the pact is at severe risk of collapse and the European Union is caught in the middle, struggling to keep supply lines open to the Islamic Republic’s wilting economy under the threat of U.S. sanctions.

With few real options left, their trust in the Trump administration running low, and fears rising that conflict could break out, major powers Germany, France

and Britain have been reduced to repeating calls for restraint as pressure builds and Iran threatens to walk away from the painstakingly drafted 2015 deal.

In an effort to keep Iran’s economy afloat and save an agreement they believe has stopped Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, the Europeans are turning to diplomacy to try to encourage other countries to buy more Iranian oil. They also have set up a barter-type system to evade possible U.S. sanctions.

“We have to do everything to solve the conflict situation with Iran in a

peaceful manner,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday. “We will do everything to impress on all sides, but especially to make clear to Iran, that this serious situation mustn’t be aggravated.”

The pact, which ensures that Tehran’s nuclear program be restricted to civilian uses in exchange for economic assistance, was signed by Iran, the U.S., Russia, China, France Germany and Britain. President Donald Trump pulled Washington out of the deal in May 2018.

“We are relying on Iran continuing to abide by it,” Merkel said. “If that isn’t the case, that will of course have consequences.”

But her tougher tone does little to hide the fact that there’s not a lot that Europe can do.

Under pressure from U.S. sanctions once held in check by the deal, the value of Iran’s currency has plummeted by about 60% in the last year. Inflation is up 37% and the cost of food and medicine has soared 40% to 60%, according to EU figures.

The Europeans believe

the growing economic pressure on President Hassan Rouhani may well have prompted Iran’s announcement that it will exceed the uranium stockpile limit set by deal in the next 10 days — a time frame that seems unlikely but which cannot be excluded.

To get around possible U.S. sanctions, the Europeans have come up with a complicated barter-type system to skirt direct financial transactions with Iran.

The workaround, dubbed INSTEX, would help ensure trade between Iran and Europe by allowing buyers and sellers to exchange money without relying on the usual cross-border financial transactions. It is not yet operational, although the EU promises that it will be “soon.”

The EU has also introduced a “blocking statute” to protect European companies from the effects of U.S. sanctions, but many international corporations do more business in the United States than in Iran and have already severed ties with Tehran rather than risk running afoul of Washington.

Boris Johnson builds lead in race to be UK prime minister

By JILL LAWLESS Associated Press

LONDON — Former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson increased his lead in the race to become Britain’s next prime minister Tuesday in a Conservative Party vote that eliminated one of his rivals and enabled upstart candidate Rory Stewart to defy expectations by remaining in the contest.

Johnson, a flamboyant former foreign secretary, won 126 of the 313 votes cast by Conservative lawmakers in their secondround of balloting. The vote left five contenders vying to be the Tory leader who will succeed Theresa May as prime minister, and all but guaranteed Johnson would be one of the two candidates competing in a runoff decided by rank-and-file party members as well as elected politicians.

Jeremy Hunt, who followed Johnson as foreign secretary in May’s government, had the next-highest number of votes with 42.

Hunt Environment Secretary Michael Gove, Home Secretary Sajid Javid and Stewart all trailed far be-

hind in what is now effectively a race for second place.

Ex-Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab got only 30 votes, three short of the threshold needed to go through to the next round.

After lawmakers’ votes were counted, Johnson and the other remaining candidates traded barbs about Brexit and their plans for the economy, the welfare system and the environment in a messy, fractious televised debate. Johnson was accused of trying to dodge scrutiny after he skipped an earlier debate and a question session with journalists.

Tory lawmakers will vote again Wednesday and Thursday, eliminating at least one candidate each time. The final two contenders will go to a postal ballot of all 160,000 Conservative Party members nationwide.

The winner who will replace May is due to be announced in late July. May stepped down as party leader earlier this month after failing to secure Parliament’s approval for her Brexit deal. She is leading the government until her successor is picked.

All the contenders vow they will succeed where May failed and lead Britain out of the European Union, though they differ about how to break the country’s Brexit deadlock.

Johnson insists the U.K. must leave the bloc on the rescheduled date of Oct. 31 31, with or without a divorce deal to smooth the way.

He said during the BBC debate there would be a “catastrophic loss of confidence in politics” if Brexit was delayed any further.

The withdrawal, originally set for May 29, was pushed back after May sought two extensions from the EU.

The EU says it won’t reopen the Brexit agreement it struck with May’s government, which has been rejected three times by Britain’s Parliament. Many economists and businesses say a no-deal exit would cause economic turmoil by ripping up the rules that govern trade between Britain and the EU. Johnson and Javid both said they would opt to leave the EU without an agreement rather than delay Brexit beyond Oct. 31.

Gove and Hunt both said they would support another postponement if needed to secure a deal, but only for a short time.

Blackout in South America raises questions about power grid

By LUIS ANDRES HENAO and PAUL BYRNE Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — The huge blackout that left tens of millions of people in the dark in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay over the weekend raised serious questions about the vulnerability of the power grid in South America and brought criticism down on Argentina’s leader.

President Mauricio Macri promised a thorough investigation into the cause of what he called an unprecedented outage. Energy officials said the find-

ings would not be available for 10 to 15 days, and they had no immediate estimate of the economic damage from Sunday’s 14-hour power failure.

“This is an extraordinary event that should have never happened,” said Argentine Energy Secretary Gustavo Lopetegui. “It’s very serious. We can’t leave the whole country all of a sudden without electricity.”

He vowed: “There is zero chance that this will repeat itself. It can’t repeat itself.”

While the precise cause has yet to be established, the blackout originated at a transmission point between

two power stations in the country’s northeast “when the system was getting too much power,” Lopetegui said. A chain of events then caused a total disruption, he said.

Lopetegui did not rule out the possibility of a cyberattack but said it was unlikely.

Argentine energy experts said that operational and design errors probably played a role and that the system should have isolated the local failure before it cascaded so disastrously.

“If the automatic system would have been working correctly, we wouldn’t be talking about this right now,” said Daniel Montamat, a former energy secretary.

Juan Balda, a native of Argentina who is head of the electric engineering department at the University of Arkansas, speculated that a short circuit in a transmission line — caused perhaps by a fallen tree limb or lightning — set off a “domino effect,” tripping a series of protective circuits that shut down power plants one after another. A similar chain of events led to a blackout in the U.S.

Northeast and Canada in 2003.

The power failure in South America happened with winter about to begin in the Southern Hemisphere. Blackouts are much more common in the summer, when the use of air conditioners pushes the grid to the maximum.

While energy officials defended the Argentine power system as “robust,” the grid had been known to be in a state of disrepair, with substations and cables that were insufficiently upgraded as power rates remained largely frozen for years.

Macri came to power in 2015 promising to reinvest in the grid and end what he called the failed energy policy of his predecessors, and outages have become less common under his government. Just over a week ago, he boasted on Twitter about Argentina’s exports of natural gas, saying: “From darkness to exporting energy.”

But after Sunday’s embarrassing outage, his rivals jumped at the chance to criticize the conservative leader, who is up for reelection in October.

Around the World Egypt’s ousted President Morsi buried after courtroom death CAIRO Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Islamist leader Mohammed Morsi, was buried under heavy security early on Tuesday, a day after his dramatic collapse and death inside a Cairo courtroom, his family and a member of his defense team said.

Morsi’s family attended funeral prayers in the mosque of Cairo’s Tora prison, followed by the burial at a cemetery in the Egyptian capital’s eastern district of Nasr City, said Abdul-Moneim Abdel-Maqsoud, a member of Morsi’s defense team.

Morsi’s son Ahmed said security agencies refused to allow Morsi to be buried at the family’s cemetery in his hometown in Sharqia province, and instead had him interred at a Cairo cemetery dedicated to prominent Islamists.

Morsi, 67, hailed from Egypt’s largest Islamist group, the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, and was elected president in 2012 in the country’s first free elections following the ouster the year before of longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

The military toppled Morsi in 2013 after massive protests and crushed the Brotherhood in a major crackdown, arresting Morsi and many others of the group’s leaders.

During his years in prison, Morsi, who was known to have diabetes, was often held in solitary confinement and was largely barred from receiving visitors.

His family was only allowed to visit three times.

While in detention, Morsi continued to appear in court on a range of charges.

Strong quake jolts northwest Japan; no major damage reported TOKYO — A powerful earthquake jolted northwestern Japan late Tuesday, and officials warned of a possible tsunami up to 3.3 feet high along parts of the coast.

Some areas lost electrical power and some bullet train services were suspended, but there were no immediate reports of serious injuries or damage from the magnitude 6.8 quake. Only a minor swelling of the sea was observed in several cities about half an hour after it struck.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency said the earthquake was located off the western coast of Yamagata about 30 miles southwest of the city of Sakata.

It said the quake was fairly shallow, about 6 miles below the sea’s surface. Shallow quakes tend to cause more damage on the Earth’s surface.

The agency warned of a possible tsunami along the coasts of the northwestern prefectures of Yamagata, Niigata and Ishikawa.

Bullet train service was suspended in parts of the region because of power outages and for safety checks. About 9,000 households in Yamagata and Niigata lost power, according to Tohoku Electric Power Co. All seven reactors at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant in Niigata were off line and no abnormalities were reported.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said an emergency response team was set up at the Prime Minister’s Office to assess the extent of injuries and damage. He urged residents of the affected areas to be prepared for possible aftershocks.

An elderly man suffered a minor foot injury in Murakami city, where strong shaking was reported, public broadcaster NHK said.

P ioneer P otluck ‘G rannie ’ A nnie B erg

A tribute to our dad, John M. McClure Sr. Father’s Dad brings back memories of our Dad. Here are some memories I would like to share.

Dad worked hard on the farm and so did Mom. Dad turned his irrigation farm into a ranch and started building a herd of shorthorn cattle, a breed of short stocky cattle originally from Scotland.

Soon the farm he worked so hard on became Shamrock Shorthorn Ranch. I painted the sign that was cut out into a shape of a shamrock. I remember Dad and my brother Sonny — now John Jr. — putting the sign on an iron stake with a swivel so the wind would not tear it up. Dad was so proud when it was finally finished. He stood back with pride, surveying his accomplishments.

He eventually bought another farm and two ranches and became a true cattle rancher.

Dad worked closely with the “Aggies,” the Colorado Agriculture College in Fort Collins.

He landscaped the fields for more effective watering of the crops.

He had a big dam built in the pasture so that he had a lake to water the fields and the cows. I am not sure of this but I think the lake turned out to be alkali water and was not usable.

Dad won top honors in statewide soil conservation.

Our family resided on that farm-ranch for 25 years, until 1955 when hail and bad weather ruined all the crops and damaged numerous buildings and equipment.

This forced Dad into retirement. BUT, then he purchased the John Deere dealership for northern Colorado, southern Wyoming, and western Nebraska. It was very successful and Dad continued to see his farmer, rancher friends and told the amazing stories and funny jokes. He was very relaxed and happy and did not have to work so hard.

I graduated from Timnath High School that year and in November of 1955 I married John Clayton Bateman (Jack).

Dive into a Greek gyro, with lamb and yogurt sauce in a pita vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes.

— For a gas grill: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Turn primary burner to medium-high and turn off other burner(s).

Clean and oil cooking grate. Place patties on hotter side of grill, cover (if using gas), and cook until well browned and crust forms, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer patties to paper towel-lined plate, cover loosely with foil, and let sit while heating pitas.

Place packet of pitas on cooler side of grill and flip occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Using spoon, spread 1/4 cup Tzatziki inside each warm pita. Divide patties evenly among pitas and fill each sandwich with tomato slices, 1/2 cup shredded lettuce, and 2 tablespoons feta. Serve immediately.

TZATZIKI:

What’s not to love about a Greek gyro, a sandwich of seasoned, marinated lamb, tomato, lettuce, and cucumber-yogurt tzatziki sauce stuffed inside a soft pita?

The traditional method for cooking the meat employs an electric vertical rotisserie on which layers of sliced and marinated leg of lamb are stacked. After cooking for hours, the meat is shaved with a long slicing knife, revealing pieces with crisp exteriors and moist interiors infused with garlic and oregano.

We wanted to translate this recipe for the home kitchen. Surprisingly, using ground lamb—which we formed into patties and grilled—was easy and

came close to reproducing the texture of rotisserie lamb. A modified panade, or wet binder, of pita bread crumbs, lemon juice, and garlic gave our patties a sturdier structure and fuller, more savory flavour.

For a crisp outside and moist inside, we browned our patties on the grill until a crust formed on each side.

Then we grilled the pitas as well to warm them and add a little smoky flavour. If using pocketless pitas, do not cut off the tops instead, use a portion of a fifth pita to create crumbs.

GRILLED GREEKSTYLE LAMB PITA SANDWICHES Servings: 4 Start to finish: 40 minutes 4 (8-inch) pita breads

1/2 onion, chopped coarse 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried 4 teaspoons lemon juice 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 pound ground lamb 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup Tzatziki (recipe follows) 1 large tomato, cored and sliced thin 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup) Cut top quarter off each pita bread. Tear quarters into 1-inch pieces. (You should have 3/4 cup pita pieces.) Lightly moisten 2 pita breads with water.

Sandwich unmoistened pitas between moistened pi-

tas and wrap stack tightly in lightly greased heavy-duty aluminum foil set aside.

Process pita bread pieces, onion, oregano, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in food processor until smooth paste forms, about 30 seconds transfer to large bowl. Add ground lamb and knead with your hands until thoroughly combined.

Divide mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into ball, then gently flatten into round disk about 1/2 inch thick and 2 1/2 inches in diameter.

— For a charcoal grill: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter three-quarters filled with charcoal (4 1/2 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid

Tzatziki is a traditional Greek sauce made from strained yogurt and cucumber, as delicious eaten as a dip for raw vegetables as it is dolloped over grilled chicken or lamb. To make our own classic version, we started by shredding a cucumber on a coarse grater, salting it, and letting it drain to keep any excess liquid from watering down the dip. Greek yogurt gives tzatziki its pleasant tang and richness, but before stirring in our drained cucumber, we enhanced its flavour with minced fresh herbs and garlic. Using Greek yogurt here is key do not substitute regular plain yogurt or the sauce will be very watery.

Makes about 2 cups 1 (12-ounce) cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and shredded Salt and pepper 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons minced fresh mint and/or dill 1 small garlic clove, minced Toss cucumber with 1/2 teaspoon salt in colander and let drain for 15 minutes.

Whisk yogurt, oil, mint, and garlic together in bowl, then stir in drained cucumber. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

The key to a crisp chopped salad is salting ahead of time

By America’S Test Kitchen The Associated Press

A chopped salad, where every ingredient is cut into pieces of about the same size, offers the perfect mixture of flavours and textures in every bite. However, some vegetables get watery and soggy when you chop and dress them, and require extra attention.

In this summery salad, we first salted the tomatoes and cucumbers to draw out their excess moisture before adding them to the salad. Seeding the cucumbers and quartering the tomatoes exposed more surface area to the salt for even better results.

Letting all the vegetables marinate in the vinaigrette for a few minutes before adding the lettuce intensified their flavour.

Along with cucumbers and tomatoes, we chose sweet yellow bell pepper,

red onion, and peppery radishes and tossed them all with chopped romaine lettuce hearts. Be sure to add the lettuce just before serving, or it will turn soggy.

SUMMER VEGETABLE CHOPPED SALAD Servings: 4 Start to finish: 30 minutes 3 cucumbers, peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces 1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes, quartered Salt and pepper 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1 garlic clove, minced 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces 1 small red onion, chopped fine 8 ounces radishes,

trimmed and sliced thin 3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 romaine lettuce heart (6 ounces), cut into 1 inch pieces Toss cucumbers and tomatoes with 1 teaspoon salt and let drain in colander for 15 minutes.

Whisk vinegar, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper together in large bowl. Whisking constantly, drizzle in oil.

Add drained cucumbers and tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, radishes, and parsley and toss to coat. Let salad sit for at least 5 minutes or up to 20 minutes.

Add lettuce and gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Variations: — Mediterranean Chopped Salad: Reduce cucumber to 1 cucumber and substitute 10 ounces grape tomatoes for cherry tomatoes. Reduce vinegar to 3 table-

spoons and olive oil to 3 tablespoons. Omit bell pepper and radishes. Reduce onion to 1/2 onion and parsley to 1/2 cup.

Add 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed, and 1/2 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives with cucumber and tomatoes in step 2.

Add 1 cup crumbled feta with lettuce.

— Pear and Cranberry Chopped Salad: Omit tomatoes. Reduce cucumber to 1 cucumber.

Substitute 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar for red wine vinegar and reduce olive oil to 3 tablespoons.

Substitute red bell pepper for yellow bell pepper.

Omit radishes and parsley. Reduce onion to 1/2 onion. Add 1 ripe but firm pear, halved, cored, and cut into 1/4 inch pieces, and 1/2 cup dried cranberries with cucumber in step 2. Add 1 cup crumbled blue cheese and 1/2 cup chopped, toasted pistachios with lettuce.

. . . Annie

We settled in Golden, Colorado, in a motel unit so Jack could go to Continued from page A7 school on the G.I. Bill.

He was interested in petroleum engineering and geology. Times were hard for us on such a limited income.

(I think the G.I. bills was $135 a month). He worked for Adolf Coors in his off hours from college and I worked two jobs, one for the phone company in the daytime and for a creamery at night — the old fashioned kind of ice cream store that served ice cream cones and malts and shakes. It was a very busy place. I overfilled the malts and shakes and put the rest in a separate large cup. By the end of the evening I took home a rainbow shake-malt with different layers. That was our supper many times all that first winter of 1955 and 1956.

In March of 1956, Jack, while working for Coors severally hurt his back and could not continue his college education, so we moved back to Fort Collins and he became a parts man for Dad at the John Deere store.

In 1957, Dad became a grandpa as my daughter, Gail Lynn was born. He was a proud grinning kind of happy grandpa. In 1959 David John was born and in 1960 Susan Renee was born, and they brought even broader grins for grandpa. All three were born at Poudre Valley Hospital where my little sister and brother, Elaine and Jim, were born. They all were delivered by the same Dr. James Hoffman. Also Regina Sue, my brother John’s daughter was born in 1961. Dad took on a new role and because the kindest funniest grandpa who delighted in scaring and hugging and spoiling his grandkids.

Grandpa also started taking all of the grandkids to movies on Wednesday afternoon. I had to go too, couldn’t let grandpa be in charge of four little kids. Who knows what he would have fed them at the movies. We had so much fun with him!

The very most memorable time was when we all dressed up to go to see “Mary Poppins.” Regina, age 4, was dressed in her frilly little red and white dress. She looked so cute. My kids in their best Sunday clothes.

We all watched “Mary Poppins” and munched popcorn. The music was so catchy and happy. It kept the kids attention all through the movie. The last song was, “Oh, let’s go fly a kite, way up to the highest heights — Oh, lets go fly a kite.”

When the movie was over and we all marched out into sunshine holding hands, Regina let go of my hand and started skipping ahead down the sidewalk, singing in her loudest voice “Oh, YOU go fly a kite — OH, YOU go fly a kite up to the highest heights, OH, YOU go fly a kite.” I started to run and catch her but Dad caught my arm and said let her sing. We all had big smiles on our faces as well as everyone around us, listening to our little Mary Poppins skipping down the sidewalk singing at the top of her lungs. “OH, YOU go fly a kite!”

This is just one of many of my fondest memories of our Dad and his gentle kindness.

Try this light, summertime bean salad with corn and avocado For an easy, light, summertime bean salad, we combined fiber-rich black beans with fresh corn, bright tomato and creamy avocado.

Toasting the corn in a skillet until golden brown brought out its natural sweetness.

HALIBUT HONEY MUSTARD FINGERS Partially thaw halibut fillets. Trim and cut into 1/2- by 2-inch strips. Set aside to thaw and drain. Prepare the honey mustard dressing. Recipe says to prepare this the day before so the sauce can blend.

In a small bowl: 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup Dijon or mustard of your choice. I prefer the regular yellow mustard.

Too many recipes for glazed grilled chicken give you meat that’s scorched or sickeningly sweet—or both.

We wanted nicely glazed, unimpeachable peachy grilled chicken.

To start, we sprinkled the chicken with salt and pepper and let it sit for at least an hour before cooking to season the chicken and enable it to retain more moisture.

Then we faced the main challenge: balancing real peach flavour with the necessity of not incinerating our dinner.

Cooking chicken covered in sweet preserves led to intense scorching on the grill, but just applying a glaze at the end of cooking didn’t yield much flavour. We created a setup that cooked the chicken most of the way through in the sauce without exposing it to open flame by using a disposable aluminum pan.

We started the chicken skin side down to render some fat before flipping the pieces skin side up to dry off and crisp up. We then finished the meat over the coals for perfect browning.

A fresh peach and a jalapeno chile cooked alongside the chicken and incorporated into the sauce added heat and flavour to the finished dish.

Servings: 4 Start to finish: 1 hour, 20 minutes Chef’s Note: Leave the jalapeno whole for grilling.

Note that the salted chicken needs to rest for 1 to 24 hours before grilling. Since the preserves cause the food to brown quickly, move the items around as necessary to manage any hot spots.

If you’d like to use wood chunks instead of wood chips when using a charcoal grill, substitute one medium wood chunk, soaked in water for 1 hour, for the wood chip packet.

On this date: In 1775, George Washington was commissioned by the Continental Congress as commander in chief of the Continental Army.

In 1868, “Tales from the Vienna Woods,” a waltz by Johann Strauss “the Younger,” was first publicly performed

by Strauss’ orchestra.

In 1917, during World War I, King George V ordered the British royal family to dispense with German titles and surnames; the family took the name “Windsor.”

In 1934, the Federal Communications Commission was created; it replaced the Federal Radio Commission.

In 1938, four dozen people were killed when a railroad bridge in Montana collapsed, sending a train known as the Olympian hurtling into Custer Creek.

In 1944, during World War II, the two-day Battle of the Philippine Sea began, resulting in a decisive victory for the Americans over the Japanese.

In 1952, the U.S. Army Special Forces, the elite unit of fighters known as the Green Berets, was established at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The celebrity-panel game show “I’ve Got A Secret” debuted on CBS-TV. In 1953, Julius Rosenberg, 35, and his wife, Ethel, 37, convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, were executed at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York.

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was approved by the U.S. Senate, 73-27, after surviving a lengthy filibuster.

In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law requiring any public school teaching the theory of evolution to teach creation science as well.

In 2006, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned North Korea it would face consequences if it test-fired a missile thought to be powerful enough to reach the West Coast of the United States.

In 2017, Otto Warmbier a 22-year-old American college student died in a Cincinnati hospital following his release by North Korea in a coma after more than a year in captivity.

Ten years ago: New York Times reporter David S. Rohde and Afghan reporter Tahir Ludin escaped from militant captors after more than seven months in captivity in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Texas billionaire R. Allen Stanford was indicted and jailed on charges his international banking empire was really just a Ponzi scheme built on lies, bluster and bribery. (Stanford was sentenced to 110 years in prison after being convicted of bilking investors in a $7.2 billion scheme that involved the sale of fraudulent certificates of deposits.)

Five years ago: President Barack Obama announced he was dispatching 300 U.S. military advisers to Iraq to help quell a rising insurgency. Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California won election as House majority leader as Republicans shuffled their leadership in the wake of Rep. Eric Cantor’s primary defeat in Virginia. Gerry Goffin, 75, a prolific and multi-dimensional lyricist who with his then-wife and songwriter partner Carole King wrote such hits as “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” ‘’(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman,” ‘’Up On The Roof,” and “The Loco-Motion,” died in Los Angeles.

One year ago: The United States said it was pulling out of the United Nations’ Human Rights Council, a day after the U.N. human rights chief denounced the Trump administration for separating migrant children from their parents; U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley cited longstanding U.S. complaints that the council was biased against Israel. Koko, a western lowland gorilla who was taught sign language at an early age as a scientific test subject and eventually learned more than 1,000 words, died at the Gorilla Foundation’s preserve in California’s Santa Cruz mountains at the age of 46.

Marta helps Brazil to World Cup win over Italy Associated Press

Marta set a record for men and women with her 17th career World Cup goal in Brazil’s 1-0 victory over Italy on Tuesday night at Valenciennes that advanced the Selecao to the knockout rounds for the sixth straight time.

The 33-year-old forward, playing in her fifth World Cup, scored on a penalty kick in the 74th minute at Stade du Hainaut, sending a line drive to the left of goalkeeper Laura Giuliani after Debinha was fouled by Elena Linari.

It was the second goal of the tournament for Marta, and both have been on penalty kicks. Her goal against Australia last Thursday tied the record set in the men’s

World Cup by Miroslav Klose, who scored 16 World Cup goals for Germany from 2002-14. The United States’ Abby Wambach and Germany’s Birgit Prinz are tied for second among women with 14 each.

Marta is the only player, male or female, to score in five World Cups.

Seward swimmer sizzles in Indiana Staff report Peninsula Clarion

Seward swimmer Lydia Jacoby dazzled in the pool at the Counsilman Classic meet in Indianapolis, Indiana, finishing fifth in a loaded women’s field in the 100-yard breaststroke.

The incoming sophomore at Seward won the same event at the Alaska state high school championships last fall with a new state record, but lowered her own personal

mark in the breaststroke with a time of 1 minute, 10.11 seconds, finishing less than three seconds behind Counsilman race winner Lilly King, who also holds the current world record in the event. Jacoby’s new PR in the breaststroke is only six seconds behind King’s world record mark of 1:04.13.

Miners break Oilers’ win streak Reigning ABL champs stop Peninsula’s 3-game run of momentum

By Jeremiah Bartz Frontiersman.com

PALMER — In two of their previous three games, the Mat-Su Miners used a no-hitter and a walk-off grand slam to put together a winning streak. Tuesday, the Miners continued to roll.

Mat-Su posted an 8-4 Alaska Baseball League win over the Peninsula Oilers at Hermon Brothers Field in Palmer.

“Winning’s contagious. Hitting’s contagious,” Mat-Su head coach Ty-

ler LeBrun said after the win.

The Miners improved to 7-5 with their fourth straight win. The Oilers, who also entered the game riding a three-game winning streak, dropped to 5-7.

Erik Webb continued his tear and Justin Kirby smacked a two-run homer for the Miners.

“We’re getting good starts from Webby and Kirby at the top of the lineup, and we’re getting clutch hits from the six, seven, eight guys,” LeBrun said.

Five different Miners finished

with at least a hit.

“It’s been good,” LeBrun said of the offense. “One through nine.

It’s difficult to write the lineup card with the talent we have here.”

The Oilers trailed 8-1, but were able to cut into Mat-Su’s lead late.

Peninsula plated three runs in the eighth. Damon Keith had a tworun triple in the eighth. He also drove in three of his team’s four runs.

The Oilers will stay in Palmer for four nights. The series continues Wednesday at 7 p.m.

On tap: England ready for bigger run than 4 years ago

By JENNA FRYER AP Sports Writer

PARIS — England was overjoyed to make it to the semifinals of the Women’s World Cup four years ago, an overachievement the squad believed, so the eliminating loss to Japan wasn’t

a surprise or a bitter disappointment.

Much has changed in mentality and quality of play since, and England no longer is happy simply to be advancing through the biggest tournament in the world. England and Japan play Wednesday in a re-

match of the 2015 semifinal that Japan won 2-1.

“Potentially this is a little more intense,” defender Lucy Bronze said Tuesday.

“In 2015, maybe we overachieved a little bit. We played very well in that semifinal and I think we probably could have won it. But now

we have more belief.

“We want to win. We want to win every game.

We want to get to the final and beat any team that gets in front of us. We know we can.”

The Group D finale at Stade de Nice will mark the fourth consecutive Women’s

World Cup meeting of the nations. The teams also met in March, when England rolled to a 3-0 victory in a tournament at Tampa, Florida.

Japan coach Asako Takakura thinks that defeat three months ago is not a reflection of how Wednes-

day’s match will evolve.

“In that match we managed to try all the things we wanted to try and test ourselves,” she said. “We don’t have a negative impression about that defeat. The England team has different character as a squad, and I really See CUP, page A10

Woodland holds off Koepka to win US Open title

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — In front of Gary Woodland was a 263-yard shot to the scariest green on any par 5 at Pebble Beach, especially with a U.S. Open on the line. Behind him by one shot on the leaderboard was Brooks Koepka, the most dangerous figure in major championship golf these days.

The safe shot was to lay up on the 14th and take his chances with a wedge “The idea was to play for the win,” Woodland said.

With an extra boost of confidence from his caddie — Brennan Little, who was on the bag for Mike Weir in his Masters victory — Woodland delivered the shot of his life with a 3-wood that narrowly cleared a bunker, settled on

the edge of the green and set up a birdie that gave him the cushion he needed.

The rest was pure theater — a 90-foot pitch off the 17th green he nearly holed, a 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 2-under 69 and a three-shot victory that denied Koepka’s bold bid to match a century-old record with a third straight U.S. Open.

Woodland’s pitch across the 17th green over a hump that checked and trickled to tap-in range effectively clinched it, taking its place with other big moments on the 17th green in the U.S. Open such as Jack Nicklaus and his 1-iron off the pin and Tom Watson’s chip-in birdie. It even got the attention of Nicklaus.

“Took a lot of guts,” Nicklaus said on Twitter.

Woodland had that it abundance, along with a message from

an inspirational friend.

“You got this.”

Until Sunday, when he cradled the silver trophy at Pebble Beach, Woodland got more attention from one hole in a pro-am at the Phoenix Open. He was gracious and encouraging to Amy Bockerstette, a 20-year-old with Down Syndrome and sheer optimism. Woodland invited her to hit a shot on the par-3 16th (into a bunker). He wanted to blast it out of the sand but she said, “I got this.” She hit it out to 8 feet and made the putt. The PGA Tourproduced video has more than 20 million views.

“I told myself that a million times today,” Woodland said. “I’ve got this.”

Koepka didn’t make it easy, keeping the pressure on Woodland until the very end.

Both represent the modern athlete in golf. Both are unflappable.

Needing three putts to win, Woodland finished in style. He raised both arms in the air to salute the crowd, turned toward the Pacific and slammed down his fist.

“I never let myself get ahead,” Woodland said. “Once that went in, it all came out of me. It’s special to finish it off here at Pebble Beach.”

Koepka had to settle for a footnote in history. He closed with a 68, making him the first player with all four rounds in the 60s at a U.S. Open without winning.

“It was awesome to come this close to going three in a row. It’s incredible,” Koepka said. “I didn’t really think about it until I was done on 18 and realized how close I actually was to not making history, but tying it, I guess you could say. Just wasn’t meant to be this week.”

Distance was no problem for Woodland on the 14th hole. It was

the potential outcome.

“Left is not good, right is outof-bounds, long is not ideal and the bunker speaks for itself,” Woodland said. “So to execute that shot under the pressure, under the situation, that shot gave me the confidence. I felt better after hitting that shot on the golf course today than I had in a long, long time.”

He believes it allowed him to hit one just as good on the 17th.

Woodland dropped the 5-iron from his hands when it sailed well to the right of the green with the pin 90 feet away over a hump.

Up ahead on the par-5 18th, Koepka drilled a 3-iron just over the back of the green, leaving him a 50-foot chip for eagle to tie, with a birdie likely to do the trick considering what Woodland faced on the 17th. Koepka chipped to 10 feet and narrowly missed the birdie putt.

Boyd fuels US over Guyana

By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Sports Writer

ST. PAUL, Minn. — After newcomer Tyler Boyd scored early in the second half to give the United States a two-goal lead, the sure sign this was going to be a good night for the Americans was visible on Gyasi Zardes’ face.

A shot by Paul Arriola from just outside the box was headed by Guyana defender Terence Vancooten straight at Zardes’ left eye.

The ball ricocheted into the net as teammates celebrated around a stunned, grimacing Zardes.

Finally, the Americans had some fun on the field again.

Boyd scored two goals to guide the U.S. past overmatched Guyana 4-0 to start the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Tuesday, getting this

much-maligned team on track in its first competitive game in 20 months.

“The first game of a tournament is always a little bit nervy,” coach Gregg Berhalter said. “We told the guys, ‘Enjoy the experience. It’s competition time.”

Boyd, a 24-year-old attacker, played just his second match for the U.S. after a FIFA-approved switch of affiliation from New Zealand. His parents were able to take the long flight from his native country to attend the game.

“Just a dream come true,” Boyd said. “It’s been years and years of work to get to this moment.”

Arriola had a goal and an assist, and Weston McKennie was awarded with an assist during an all-around strong performance before leaving with what appeared to be a left

hamstring injury. Berhalter said it was a cramp, nothing serious.

The Americans were on the attack for most of the game while generating a steady stream of prime scoring chances against a Guyana team making its Gold Cup debut, but even a decisive victory like this wasn’t going to provide much insight into any progress being made under Berhalter, given Guyana’s No. 177 ranking.

Goalkeeper Zack Steffen made one save, in the 69th minute. With fan angst at a fever pitch and a young squad trying to find its way with a new, flashier style of play, though, there was plenty to be gained from, simply, winning . Especially after the Americans lost ugly in friendlies earlier this month to Venezuela and Jamaica .

Mom of four leaves longtime boyfriend to date a teenager daughter will be upset with you and you will see less of your grandkids.

DEAR ABBY: I’m getting married soon, and I want to invite a colleague I have known for years. My colleague is gay and married. My fiance, “Ted,” is from a Abigail Van Buren large, very traditional family. When I suggested inviting my co-worker and his husband, Ted expressed concern, stating that members of his family might feel alienated and uncomfortable.

I love Ted dearly, and I love his family.

But I feel like I will be shutting out a friend by not inviting him and his spouse. Should I explain the situation to my colleague or leave it alone? Is it possible to reach a compromise that will make everyone happy?

-- LOVING BRIDE IN TEXAS DEAR BRIDE: I think you should do what makes YOU happy. The problem with trying to please everyone is that it isn’t possible. Unless you want Ted’s family deciding who your friendships should

Hints from Heloise

Rubes

By Leigh Rubin

HHHH Your dynamic and more lively temperament emerges when dealing with a creative project. You seem quite content despite a misunderstanding.

Confirm what you hear and take a positive perspective. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You get a lot done quickly. Your efficiency helps you get past another person’s mood. You can coax this person through his or her feelings while making it clear that you need to complete your work. A domestic or personal matter needs your attention. Tonight: Keep it cool at home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Keep communication flowing even if you want to slam the door shut on certain people. Pressure builds and people could make the most unexpected statements. Try not to react to different opinions. Learn from them! Tonight: Stay close to home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Expenses could go south before you know it. You might feel as if you are losing control. Do not push someone too hard with the expectation of getting your terms. You might be courting a backfire.

Tonight: Meet up with a friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You understand a lot more than others realize. You could feel pushed.

Understand how much pressure could be motivating you and that in some manner you encourage this type of tension in your life. You also might not be listening to other views. Tonight: Your treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might feel off during the day.

You also might be harboring a negative thought pattern. The more you transform your thinking to a more positive attitude, the more happiness and success will greet you. Tonight: Finally enjoying yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You could find that a meeting might be difficult. In some sense, you notice a revolutionary tone. People are determined to have their way. You specifically see this type of behavior in an associate. Tonight: Handle a personal matter.

BORN TODAY Conservative commentator Laura Ingraham (1963), author Salman Rushdie (1947), bandleader Guy Lombardo (1902)

Box of broth makes this dish great!

Dear Heloise: I have a great tip for CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE, which is not one of my favorites. It always seems flat, even with the spices that come with the meat.

I put a box of beef broth in with the water and made sure to completely cover the meat and vegetables. It was really great. My husband and I smacked our lips. Try it -- you’ll love it.

-- A Devoted Reader in Ohio A SUMMER SOUP Dear Heloise: A couple of years ago, I served your Sparkling Papaya Soup to three friends who came for lunch, and it was a fantastic first course! Everyone loved it, but now I can’t find the recipe. Will you please reprint it?

-- Esther P. in Arizona Esther, this is such a refreshing tropical soup on a warm day. Here it is: Sparkling Papaya Soup 2 large, ripe papayas, peeled and cut into large cubes 3/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt (nonfat won’t work) 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 1/4 cup mild-flavored honey, such as clover honey 1 cup sparkling water, divided 4 sprigs of mint for garnish Place the papaya, 1/2 cup of yogurt, lime juice and honey in a food processor, reserving some of the papaya for garnish. Process until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of the sparkling water and continue processing until blended. Keep chilled until ready to serve. Just before serving, add the remaining sparkling water and mix well. Garnish each serving with papaya cubes, 1 tablespoon yogurt and a mint sprig. Makes 4 servings.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, June 19, 2019: This year, you pursue your interests with intensity, to the point that sometimes you cannot be distracted. You also seem committed to grow to a new level intellectually. Some of you might opt to go back to school to learn more in your field or a new area. If single, a foreigner or someone very different could play a strong role in your year with romantic implications.

If attached, the two of you tend to be able to work through issues well as you learn to empathize more with each other.

AQUARIUS helps you be a better friend to others.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You are willing to take the lead, though someone could stop you in your tracks. This person indicates that he or she will interfere with your choices. Your nerves could be frayed by this. Tonight: Nap and then out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Reach out for a loved one or friend who lives at a distance. You might feel as if another person could be confusing you and misunderstanding your ideas. Do not be surprised if someone’s temper comes forth. Tonight: Going to the wee hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH One-on-one relating eliminates going behind someone’s back or spreading gossip. Make it OK to relate without subterfuge. You enjoy sharing information that others do not have. Eliminate gossip as much as possible. Tonight: Do not allow a partner to rain on your parade.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your caring ways can easily be manipulated if you are not careful. You finally see that you cannot be open with everyone. You could lose your temper under pressure. You might be happier in the long run if you walk away from a highvoltage situation. Tonight: As you like it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Focus on completion rather than initiating a new project. Listen to an associate’s feedback. You might inadvertently cause another person’s strong reaction to what you are doing. Tonight: Feeling more popular than usual.

DEAR ABBY: My son is in his mid-20s, and I would love to spend time with him.

The problem is, every time he has come to my home he has stolen things from me and pawned them. I know this to be a fact.

I confronted him about it two years ago. I told him I love him very much but can no longer trust him in my home. He didn’t deny the thefts, but since then, he won’t take my calls or respond on social media or to text messages. What’s a dad to do or not do?

-- FAILING IN FLORIDA DEAR FAILING: Your son may be ashamed to face you after what he has done. All you can do is continue to reach out, tell him you love him and pray that he finally decides to stop hiding from you and possibly from himself. You have my sympathy, but you cannot force this.

DEAR ABBY: I’m the mom of a 31-yearold daughter who recently broke up with her longtime boyfriend so she can be with a 17-year-old kid. I probably wouldn’t be upset if she didn’t have sons who are 15, 14, 12 and a daughter, 10, who considered the man she broke up with their dad. Her new love is only two years older than her oldest. I am having a hard time accepting this and so are my grandkids.

I haven’t talked to my daughter about her choice because I know she’s an adult and the bottom line is it isn’t really my business. I do worry about how much confusion this causes the kids.

I don’t know if I can accept this new “man” in her life. To tell you the truth, I want nothing to do with him. I want to continue seeing my grandchildren, though, which will mean I’ll have to deal with this person on some level. How? -- THROWN IN NEW YORK DEAR THROWN: Here’s how. Be a lady. You have a right to express your opinion privately, but when you see him, be cordial and do not make apparent how much you disapprove of the relationship.

If you alienate him, you will lose. The result will be that you see less of him, your

Triple Crown in the Marines 2019 US Open: Western Regional Wrestling Championships.

Parra said the day has always been primarily fo-

cused on the kids. This year, local sponsors and businesses, including the Nikiski Fire Department and The Compass Youth Center, provided plenty of opportu-

nities for fun. Compass provided a dunk tank for kids to test their throwing arms.

Challenge Martial Arts held demonstrations throughout the day and the fire depart-

ment gave kids a chance to blast a target with a fire hose.

Oliver Jackson works at the Nikiski Pool and helped facilitate some of the kids games this year. Jackson was born and raised in Nikiski and has grown up attending the festival with his friends and neighbors.

“I remember coming here as a kid and seeing the older kids volunteering at the booths,” Jackson said. “Now those same people have gotten older, and they’re bringing their own kids to the festival. That’s pretty cool to see.”

Jackson and other volunteers entertained the kids with candy hunts, crab-walk races, water balloon tosses and a frozen T-shirt contest.

In keeping with a tradition, a separate raffle of bicycles and helmets donated by local businesses was held for kids of various age groups.

Parra said that Family Fun in the Midnight Sun has a long history going all the way back to the 1960s. Back then,

is part of why he wanted to see her return to Soldotna after playing Alaskan concerts previously at the Kenai River Beer Festival last year.

“She brings a lot of popularity,” Heuiser said.

“They’ll definitely come out in droves for her.”

A native of Louisiana, Linsey was a runner-up in season eight of the TV

show, “The Voice,” in 2015.

Her two-person group Steel Magnolia was also the season two winner of the CMT reality series competition, “Can You Duet?”

Steel Magnolia released its first single, “Keep on Lovin’ You,” in 2009, which earned a top five spot on the Country Music charts.

The duo split in 2014

and since then, Linsey has released two EPs as a solo artist with Bold Music Group as a label.

“She’s mostly country music with pop influences,” Heuiser said. “She plays great ‘90s country music with some flair to it. It’s definitely classic.”

Linsey is also performing Friday at Diamond M Ranch in Kenai as part of

the Summer Solstice Music Festival, giving her several days in Alaska.

“I think she really fell in love with the area,” Heuiser said. “She made some friends and contacts up here, and I knew she was interested in coming back up.”

Tonight’s opening act is expected to get the crowd moving before Linsey

comes on. Shields is a local musician who owns Lucy’s Market, a natural foods business in downtown Soldotna.

Heuiser said Shields brings a local flavor to the stage as a folk and country artist.

“She’s an easy listen,” he said. “She’s a great artist to have in our community.”

of the Legislature’s operating budget, according to LAA. Reps. Delena Johnson and Tammie Wilson, Republicans from Palmer and North Pole, respectively, were the two people to vote against the back payments.

Wilson, who said she voted in favor of HB 44, said legislators knew what they were voting for when they passed this bill, and back

payments weren’t part of the understanding.

“I know what I believe the intent of the legislation was,” Wilson said during the meeting. “I understand maybe it’s somewhat ambiguous on that and some people have expenses, but it wasn’t ambiguous in my mind.”

Sen. Bert Stedman, RSitka, who voted in favor of the back payments, also

spoke in support of them.

He said this law could easily turn the budget into even more of a political weapon than it already is.

“There’s some concern there that it would encourage members to not support an operating budget so that they could drive it into special session and squeeze particular political opponents that might not have the same financial resourc-

es that others do,” Stedman said.

Per diem and retroactive per diem, Geary explained, are not automatic. Only those who apply to get their per diem can collect it, she said. As of Monday, only a few lawmakers had filed their per diem claims, Geary said, and it will likely be a few weeks until all of them are in.

Former Rep. Jason

Grenn, who proposed HB 44, told the Empire on Monday that lawmakers who voted for the back pay — and those who accept it — “are violating both the spirit and letter of the law.”

“In the end, it’s about Alaskans and earning their trust and hope for what’s best,” Grenn said. “This goes in the opposite direction of what Alaskans want.”

at 10:30 a.m. with a familyfriendly 5K. Every runner and walker received a Tshirt to commemorate the day. At noon, the booths and food trucks opened up and the festivities officially began. Local band The Pepper Shakers took the stage for the duration of the event to keep the crowd dancing.

Festivalgoers could also buy raffle tickets for prizes that were given out periodically that afternoon. Among the prizes this year were several grills with all the bells and whistles, a brand new kayak, camping chairs and a paddleboard that many kids had their eye on.

The day even brought out some of Nikiski’s elected representatives, with Rep. Ben Carpenter, R-Nikiski, and Sen. Peter Micciche, RSoldotna, honoring Nikiski student Kaydence Jeffereys for recently winning the

a local group of dads started getting together for “Kiddie Days” at the Bishop Creek Bar on Father’s day to give away prizes and bikes to kids in the community.

“It was really meant just to be a good old community and family get-together, and they wanted to make sure all the kids had a bike to ride,” Parra said.

Fast forward to the 1980s, and the event had grown so large it was moved to the Nikiski Mall and became known as “Nikiski Days.”

During that time, Parra said the event featured a parade and the local radio station would play parade music just for the occasion.

As the event continued to grow, the venue was changed to the Rec Center in the early 1990s — where it still takes place today. Even though this year the midnight sun was hidden behind clouds and a bit of rain, the crowd was as big as its ever been, and the small but proud community of Nikiski didn’t let bad weather get in the way of a good time.

The federal government is fast-tracking an insufficient permit application for a project -- one of the largest mines in America -that could have devastating impacts on Bristol Bay’s environment, its fisheries, and its communities.

Pebble Mine would be a disaster for Bristol Bay.

In 2018, 62 million salmon returned to Bristol Bay, and the commercial harvest was worth a record-breaking $281 million.

We cannot put one of the world’s most valuable and pristine fisheries at risk.

A foreign mining company’s shareholders would reap the benefits; Alaskans would pay. Lawmakers must insist on a transparent and robust environmental review process.
