Student becomes first UAA deaf commencement speaker ANCHORAGE — A student has become the first deaf commencement speaker at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Anchorage television station KTUU reports Katie Irwin addressed the UAA graduating crowd Sunday. Irwin, who has been deaf since birth, used sign language for her speech, with a translator repeating it out loud. Irwin says she doesn’t see her deafness as a disability. She said through a translator that she has the ability to communicate, just in a different way. But she says she faced challenges on her way to earning a journalism degree with a minor in art. For example, Irwin says she had to teach teachers on using captions in videos. — Associated Press
Man in Alaska arrested for threats to Pennsylvania college EASTON, Pa. — Federal authorities have arrested a man in Alaska in connection to online threats made in May to an eastern Pennsylvania college. A Lafayette College news release said the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI plan to host a press conference Wednesday on the details of the arrest in Anchorage. The campus in Easton rescheduled finals and had room-by-room searches conducted on classrooms in wake of the threats. Lafayette College officials said at the time that the threat was found to be not credible. The college worked with police and the FBI to determine the threat’s legitimacy. The email and social media threats were written by someone claiming to be a student with loyalty to the Islamic State group. — Juneau Empire

Winter storm hits peninsula Snow finally arrives, brings poor driving conditions By KAT SORENSEN Peninsula Clarion
The Kenai Peninsula saw the first big snowfall of the season this past weekend, with snow totaling over a foot in some areas, leaving drivers sliding across the road. The weekend storm brought
significant snowfall, icy roads and high winds, leading to poor driving conditions all weekend long. Several accidents were called in after drivers lost control along the Seward and Sterling highways, including two single-vehicle collisions. One driver lost control near Mile
57 of the Seward Highway and hit the guardrail. Another lost control around Mile 45 of the Sterling Highway and entered a northbound ditch. No major injuries have been reported. Officials recommend that drivers slow down on the roads and be cognizant of how weather impacts their commute.
Lieutenant governor wants audit of election system
Kenai Peninsula Borough School District schools have remained open, but the district said that if anyone feels unsafe traveling to school they can call in for an excused absence. The Accuweather forecast predicts more snow for Kenai and Soldotna in the coming days.

JUNEAU — Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer said Monday that he wants an audit of Alaska’s election system following irregularities in the last two primaries. Meyer, a Republican, said the more he’s learning about the Division of Elections, the more he thinks it has done a “pretty good job.” He noted the division found irregularities in a state House primary this year, which the division previously said resulted in 26 suspect ballots being sent to the Department of Law for furtherreview. In that race, the division said it had received seven absentee ballot applications for people that records indicated
WASHINGTON — The fight over President Donald Trump’s $5 billion wall funds deepened Monday, threatening a partial government shutdown in a standoff that has become increasingly common in Washington. It wasn’t always like this, with Congress and the White House at a crisis over government funding. The House and Senate used to pass annual appropriation bills, and the president signed them into law. But in recent years the shutdown scenario has become so routine that it raises the question: Have shutdowns as a negotiating tool lost their punch?

Dow Jones industrials take 2nd straight 2 percent plunge NEW YORK — Another day of big losses knocked U.S. stocks to their lowest levels in more than a year Monday. Selling was widespread. Investors dumped high-growth technology and retail companies as well as steadier, highdividend companies. Hospitals and health insurers slumped after a federal judge in Texas ruled that the 2010 Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 507 points after a 496-point drop Friday, and all the major stock indexes fell at least 2 percent. Oil closed See DOW, page A2

ANCHORAGE — Five conservation groups filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to block oil production from a proposed artificial gravel island in federal Arctic waters. The groups asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review an offshore production plan approved for the Liberty project in the Beaufort Sea off Alaska’s north coast. The groups said the plan violates federal law governing outer continental shelf drilling, the environment and endangered species. The Trump administration failed to consider impacts of an oil spill in remote Arctic waters or effects of drilling on polar bears and other endangered species, said Kristen Monsell of the Center for Biological Diversity, one of the groups that sued. “An oil spill in the Arctic would be impossible to clean up in a region already stressed by climate change,” she said. Drilling law requires the administration to reject development if the risks to the human and marine environment out-
Monday brought few signs of progress. A partial shutdown that could occur at midnight Friday risks disrupting government operations and leaving hundreds of thousands of federal employees furloughed or working without pay over the holiday season. Costs would be likely in the billions of dollars. Trump was meeting with his team and getting regular updates, said White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Trump was also tweeting Monday to keep up the pressure. Exiting a Senate Republican leadership meeting late Monday, Sen. John Thune of South Dakota said, “It looks like it probably is going to have to See GOP, page A3
Nenana Native Association gets $9M grant for bridge FAIRBANKS (AP) — The Nenana Native Association has been awarded a $9.1 million grant to complete a long-awaited bridge project in the Alaska town of Nenana. The U.S. Department of Transportation announced last week the funding to construct two permanent fixed bridges over the Nenana River and Nenana Slough, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Sunday. The project will provide year-round access between Nenana and the Nenana-Totchaket Resource Area, which includes about 1,400 square miles of agricultural land, Tanana Val-
ley State Forest resources, University of Alaska land and the Nenana Gas Basin exploration area. Access to the area is currently restricted to boats in the summer and an ice bridge in the winter. Nenana is about 55 miles southwest of Fairbanks. “The project improves economic competitiveness and quality of life by providing year-round access … reducing both travel time and cost of transporting people and goods across the waterways, both of which are important for a rural, tribal community,” the Department of Transportation said See GRANT, page A3

below $50 a barrel for the first time since October 2017. Bonds rose and their yields fell. Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide Investment Management, attributed Monday’s action in stocks to investor concerns about the slowing global economy. But he felt it was overdone. “That is basically retail investors panicking,” he said. “Investors basically are confusing the idea of a slowdown with a recession.” Investors sold almost everything. Less than 40 of the 500 stocks comprising the S&P 500 finished the day higher. Amazon led a rout among retailers and tech companies including Microsoft turned sharply lower. Some of the largest losses went to utilities and real estate companies, which have done better than the rest of the market during the turbulence of the last three months. The S&P 500 index, the benchmark for many investors and funds, finished at its lowest level since Oct. 9, 2017. It has fallen 13.1 percent since its last record close on Sept. 20. The Russell 2000, an index of smaller companies, has dropped more than 20 percent since the end of August, meaning that index is now in what Wall Street calls a “bear market.” Germany’s main stock index also fell into a bear market Monday as companies like Siemens and SAP kept falling.

to ensure trust in the election process. The public “has to be assured that things are OK and if they’re not, we’re going to fix them,” he said. Meyer did not yet know who might conduct such an audit. Josie Bahnke, who was director of the division until last week, said it’s hard to comment without knowing exactly what Meyer has in mind. But said she no laws, regulations or policies changed
during her three-year tenure to make the system vulnerable and called the system in place “excellent.” She questioned whether an audit would reveal anything new. Meyer took office earlier this month after years as a state legislator. One of his roles is overseeing the division. He recently named Gail Fenumiai as division director, a position she held from 2008 to 2015.
Meyer said he expects to split his time between the state capital in Juneau and Anchorage. But he said he also wants to meet with workers and regional elections supervisors across the state. Because of his legislative experience, he said one of his duties during the upcoming legislative session will be promoting and advocating for Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s positions.
Smaller U.S. stocks have taken dramatic losses as investors have lost confidence in the U.S. economy’s growth prospects. Smaller companies are considered more vulnerable in a downturn than larger companies because they are more dependent on economic growth and tend to have higher levels of debt. Hackett said the current drop is similar to the market’s big plunge in late 2015 and early 2016, which was also tied to fears that the global economy was weakening in a hurry. But even though the economy is slowing down after its surge in 2017 and 2018, it should continue to do fairly well. “It’s a slowdown from extremely high levels to healthy levels,” he said. “The globe isn’t going into a recession.” The S&P 500 skidded 54.01 points, or 2.1 percent, at 2,545.94. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 507.53 points, or 2.1 percent, to 23,592.98. The Nasdaq composite fell 156.93 points, or 2.3 percent, to 6,753.73. The Russell 2000 index dipped 32.97 points, or 2.3 percent, to 1,378.14. Following the health care ruling, hospital operator HCA dropped 2.8 percent to $123.1 and health insurer UnitedHealth lost 2.6 percent to $258.07. Centene, a health insurer that focuses on Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act’s individual health insurance exchanges, fell 4.8 percent to $121.42 and Molina skidded 8.9 percent to $120. Many experts expect the
ruling will be overturned, but with the markets suffering steep declines in recent months, investors didn’t appear willing to wait and see. Benchmark U.S. crude fell 2.6 percent to $49.88 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, dipped 1.1 percent to $59.61 a barrel in London. Weaker economic growth would mean less demand for oil, and traders have been concerned there is too much crude supply on the market. That’s chopped oil prices by onethird since early October. Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.86 percent from 2.89 percent. The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates again Wednesday, the fourth increase of this year. It’s been raising rates over the last three years, and investors will want to know if the Fed is scaling back its plans for further increases based on the turmoil in the stock market over the last few months and mounting evidence that world economic growth is slowing down. Hackett, of Nationwide, said investors will be happy if the Fed adjusts its plans and projects fewer increases in interest rates next year. But he said investors might be startled if the Fed decides to not raise rates this week. British Prime Minister Theresa May said Parliament will vote Jan. 14 on her deal setting terms for Britain’s departure from the European Union. She canceled
a vote on the deal last week because it was clear legislators were going to reject it. May insists she can save the deal, but pressure is mounting for either a vote by lawmakers or a new referendum on the issue. Britain is scheduled to leave the EU in late March, and if it does so without a deal in place governing its trade and economic relationships with the bloc, it could bring huge disruptions to the British and European economies and financial markets.

Democrats are offering to continue funding at current levels, $1.3 billion, not for the wall but for fencing and other border security. It’s unclear how many House Republicans, with just a few weeks left in the majority before relinquishing power to House Democrats, will even show up mid-week for possible votes.

weigh the benefits of oil extraction. That includes both spills and climate change, Monsell said. “Here the agency used the totally inadequate analysis that actually found that the ‘no action’ alternative — not approving the project — would actually result in more greenhouse gas emissions, which is just completely ridiculous on its face, and also ridiculous given the modeling they used,” Monsell said. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management did not immediately respond to an email request for comment Monday. BOEM in October approved a plan submitted by Houstonbased Hilcorp for production wells on an island proposed in 19 feet of water about 5.6 miles off shore.
fice had no update. Many Republicans say it’s up to Trump and Democrats to cut a deal. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Trump talk most days, but the senator’s spokesman would not confirm if they spoke Monday about a plan. McConnell opened the chamber hoping for a “bipartisan collaborative spirit” that would enable Congress to finish its work. “We need to make a substantial investment in the integrity of our border,” McConnell said. “And we need to close out the year’s appropriation process.” Meanwhile more than 800,000 government workers are preparing for the uncertainty ahead. The dispute could affect nine of 15 Cabinet-level de-
partments and dozens of agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security, Transportation, Interior, Agriculture, State and Justice, as well as national parks and forests. About half the workers would be forced to continue working without immediate pay. Others would be sent home. Congress often approves their pay retroactively, even if they were ordered to stay home. “Our members are asking how they are supposed to pay for rent, food, and gas if they are required to work without a paycheck,” said a statement from J. David Cox, Sr., president of the American Federation of Government Employees, the large federal worker union. “The holiday season makes these inquiries especially heartwrenching.”
The site is 15 miles east of Prudhoe Bay, North America’s largest oil field. Hilcorp plans to extract oil from federal leases sold in the 1990s. BP Exploration Alaska drilled at the site in 1997 and sold 50 percent of the assets to Hilcorp in 2014. The base of the gravel island would cover 24 acres of ocean floor, about the size of 18 football fields, with sloped sides leading to a work surface of 9 acres, the size of nearly seven football fields. To create the island, trucks would travel by ice road to a hole cut in sea ice and deposit 83,000 cubic yards of gravel. The surface would have room for 16 wells. Hilcorp anticipates extracting 80 million to 130 million barrels over 15 to 20 years. Hilcorp proposes to move oil to shore by buried pipe. Liberty would be the 19th artificial drilling island in Alas-
ka, including four now pumping oil from state waters. Liberty spokeswoman Lori Nelson did not respond to a request for comment Monday. The four other groups suing are Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Defenders of Wildlife and Pacific Environment. They’re represented by environmental law firm Earthjustice.

What Others Say
Taking on the menace of spam and robocalls How many of us have missed
an important phone call because we didn’t recognize the number? Nowadays if you don’t recognize the number, you don’t answer the phone. Why? Because of all those annoying robocalls. Some robocalls mask themselves by using a local number when the call really is made from far, far away. You can’t even trust the caller ID on your phone anymore. According to a recent article in the Washington Post, reports of unwanted phone calls are rising. Nearly half of all cellphone calls next year will be spam, according to projections by First Orion, a caller ID firm. An article in USA Today quoted statistics from YouMail, a company that provides a service to block robocalls. The article said U.S. consumers and businesses received about 30.5 billion robocalls in 2017. That broke the record of 29.3 billion calls set the previous year. YouMail estimates the 2018 total will jump to roughly 48 billion. U.S. phones received some 6.1 million robocalls per hour in September 2018 alone, YouMail said. Help may be on the way. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said last week he had joined a bipartisan group of 40 attorneys general to stop or reduce annoying and harmful robocalls. The coalition is reviewing the technology major telecom companies are pursuing to combat illegal robocalls, which can make it appear that the incoming call is coming from a legitimate source, such as a wellknown financial institution, business and/or government entity. “Our office receives numerous calls from West Virginia consumers annoyed by the prevalence and frequency of robocalls,” Morrisey said in a news release. “By joining forces, I believe our coalition can work with the telecom companies and produce real results to quell these intrusions and stop scammers from taking advantage of West Virginians.” Attorneys general from Ohio and Kentucky are also part of the coalition. Morrisey said the multi-state group he has joined has had in-depth meetings with several major telecom companies. The attorneys general share information about the technological capabilities already in existence or in development to fight these calls. The coalition is working to develop a detailed understanding of what is technologically feasible to minimize unwanted robocalls and illegal telemarketing, engaging the major telecom companies to encourage them to expedite the best possible solutions for consumers, and considering further recommendations the states should make to the Federal Communications Commission, Morrisey said. The coalition’s efforts will enhance West Virginia’s ability to enforce anti-spoofing legislation passed earlier this year, which prohibits any seller or telemarketer from misrepresenting its caller identification data in order to deceive the call’s recipient, Morrisey said. Meanwhile, the FCC is considering action to create a national database of phone numbers that have been terminated and reassigned. The database would help prevent accidental robocalls to numbers that are no longer assigned to consumers who signed up to receive those calls. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who offered the FCC proposal on robocalls, has offered another proposal that he says will help prevent spam text messages. But spam messaging via texting is not nearly as troublesome as robocalls. Pai’s announcement says as much. It says the spam rate for texts is estimated at 2.8 percent, while the spam rate for email is estimated at more than 50 percent. The sheer volume of robocalls renders cellphone service almost useless at times. It’s good to see efforts are underway to limit the damage robocallers are doing to our ability to enjoy our phone service.
And now the Boy Scouts
The erosion of what many Americans once believed were the foundations of our country continues apace. They include, but are not limited to, overspending and debt (personal and national), never-ending wars, uncontrolled borders leading to massive immigration with no time for or expectation of assimilation and political divisions that grow wider by the day. It’s now the Boy Scouts of America’s turn to join the parade. The organization, which began in 1910 to, according to its website, “…train youth in responsible citizenship, character development and self-reliance” so they become honest men, worthy of admiration and respect, is now in danger of dissolving because of lawsuits filed alleging scouts were sexually abused. In response to the suits, Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh issued a statement: “We have a social and moral responsibility to fairly compensate victims who suffered abuse during their time in Scouting.” Yes, they do, but what about their “moral responsibility” to keep sexual predators out of scouting so that boys won’t be harmed in the first place? The Scout oath says “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep my-
self physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” What does this mean in our anything goes culture? On my honor? In today’s twisted thinking, how should honor be defined and by whom? Duty to God? Cal Thomas What about the atheist? What does “best” mean and doesn’t that discriminate against boys who can’t live up to such a standard? Physically strong? Doesn’t that mean that the physically weak might feel excluded? And then we have the most offensive of all, at least by ever-shifting standards of what constitutes morality. Scouts are to be “morally straight.” According to whose morals? And what does “straight” mean? To certain activists, it could sound like an anti-gay slur. But this is not a gay issue, this is a criminal issue. This is about sexual predators taking advantage of lax leadership and mutable organizational guidelines that make it easy for them to gain access to vulnerable children. How many Boy Scouts must suffer abuse before someone at the top of the BSA organization admits they made a mistake by opening the door so wide it became
inevitable that some very bad people would enter? How many more children will suffer before BSA admits they did not do their due diligence? Some of the alleged abuses go back to the ’60s, according to The Wall Street Journal, but that is precisely where the rending of American culture began. The cultural decline was facilitated by court rulings banning prayer and Bible reading in public schools and the Playboy philosophy of Hugh Hefner and his counterpart, Helen Gurley Brown, who told female readers of Cosmopolitan magazine they could be as promiscuous as men. Some scouts and scoutmasters have announced they are leaving or have already left the scouting program and have either aligned themselves with church programs or abandoned scouting altogether. If the Boy Scouts of America files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy their so-called leadership will have only themselves to blame. The last time I checked, a “tolerance” badge was not one of the awards Boy Scouts can earn. Given the lowering of standards in the scouting program, it should be no surprise that the Boy Scouts of America is headed for the ash heap that has claimed other “morally straight” entities.

News and Politics
Criminal justice bill passes Senate test vote By KEVIN FREKING Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Legislation that would ease federal sentencing laws for some offenders cleared its first major test vote Monday, garnering overwhelming support in both parties even as some conservatives portrayed the bill as soft on crime. The Senate voted 82-12 to advance the bill. A vote on final passage would come later in the week, but not until the chamber has debated and voted on a series of amendments from opponents that will be brought up Tuesday. The bill would give judges more discretion when sentencing drug offenders and allow about 2,600 federal prisoners sentenced for crack cocaine offenses before August 2010 the opportunity to petition for a reduced penalty. The bill also encourages prisoners to participate in programs designed to reduce the risk of recidivism, with the reward being the accumulation of credits that can be used to gain an earlier release to a halfway house or home confinement to finish out their sentence. To win over wary senators, sponsors tweaked the bill to prevent those convicted of violent firearm offenses, sexual exploitation of children and high-level fentanyl and heroin dealing from participating in the supervised release program — but Senator Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and others want to expand that list. Their amendment would add carjacking, bank robbery by force, felony sex — The Herald-Dispatch of Huntington, crimes and other “felony crimes of vioWest Virginia, Dec. 11 lence” to the list of offenses that make a
prisoner ineligible. “Some of those crimes should not be eligible for that program,” said Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D. “At this point, I’m probably a no unless they get that done.” Cotton has been among the most vocal opponents of the legislation, saying: “If other senators want to vote for a bill that’s going to let sex offenders and child pornographers and wife-beaters out of prison, that’s their prerogative. That’s between them and the voters in their state.” The bill has created a unique split in the GOP camp, while Democrats are overwhelmingly supportive. Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, a former federal prosecutor, is among the bill’s champions. He said he has been haunted by the words of a federal judge who sentenced a low-level drug offender carrying a gun to 55 years in prison, noting that murderers, rapists and terrorists could get less time for their offense. He said only Congress could fix the problem. “Those comments have stayed with me ever since,” Lee said. The bill follows the lead of states such as Texas that have experienced a decrease in crime in recent years while keeping fewer people in prison. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said his home state has been able to close eight prisons since undertaking various prison reforms, such as investing in probation staffing and getting prisoners into drug treatment more quickly. “This is not about being tough on crime, or soft on crime,” Cornyn said. “This is about being smart on crime and getting the best results.” Supporters of the bill warn that amend-
ments from Cotton and Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., could cause the compromise to unravel if the Senate approves any of them as early as Tuesday. A unique cross-section of liberal and conservative advocacy groups have rallied in support of the bill. David Safavian, general counsel for the American Conservative Union, said the bill’s critics ignore that offenders would be subject to strict oversight while completing their sentence at halfway houses or in home custody. The prisoners also have to show through objective criteria that they are a low risk to society before obtaining supervised release. Under the current process, nearly half of released federal prisoners are arrested again. “And every case of recidivism is another victim, is another crime, is another prosecution, is another trial, is another prison cell, all funded with taxpayer dollars,” Safavian said. “I’m sorry, but there is nothing conservative about protecting a non-functioning prison bureaucracy.” If the legislation passes the Senate, the House is expected to approve it quickly. The House had earlier passed legislation that focused on boosting prisoner rehabilitation programs, but did not include changes to sentencing laws that critics say had led to overly harsh sentences for many nonviolent offenders, particularly AfricanAmericans. The bill looked to have stalled a couple weeks ago, but supporters led by President Donald Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner persuaded Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to allow for the Senate vote before Congress adjourns.

Nation/World Russia social media influence efforts ongoing By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A report compiled by private researchers and expected to be released Monday by the Senate intelligence committee says that “active and ongoing” Russian interference operations still exist on social media platforms, and that the Russian operation discovered after the 2016 presidential election was much broader than once thought. The report was compiled by the cybersecurity firm New Knowledge with data provided by the Senate committee from major tech companies Facebook, Twitter and Alphabet, the parent company of Google. Along with another report expected to be released by the panel, it is the first comprehensive analysis of the Russian interference on social media beyond what the companies themselves have said. The report says that there are still some live accounts tied to the original Internet Research Agency, which was named in an indictment from special counsel Robert Mueller in February for an expansive social media campaign intended to influence the 2016 presidential election. Some of these accounts have a presence on smaller platforms as the major companies have tried to clean
up after the Russian activity was discovered. “With at least some of the Russian government’s goals achieved in the face of little diplomatic or other pushback, it appears likely that the United States will continue to face Russian interference for the foreseeable future,” the researchers wrote. The report says that none of the companies turned over complete data sets to Congress and some of them “may have misrepresented or evaded” in testimony about the interference by either intentionally or unintentionally downplaying the scope of the problem. One major takeaway of the study is the breadth of Russian interference that appeared on Instagram, which is owned by Facebook and was not as frequently mentioned when its parent company testified on Capitol Hill. The study says that as attention was focused on Facebook and Twitter in 2017, the Russians shifted much of their activity to Instagram. The study says that there were 187 million engagements with users on Instagram, while there were 77 million on Facebook. “Instagram was a significant front in the IRA’s influence operation, something that Facebook executives appear to have avoided mentioning in Congres-
sional testimony,” the researchers wrote. They added that “our assessment is that Instagram is likely to be a key battleground on an ongoing basis.” The Russian activity went far beyond the three tech companies that provided information, the report says, reaching many smaller sites as well. It details the sophisticated attempts to infiltrate internet games, browser extensions and music apps. The Russians even used social media to encourage users of the game Pokemon Go — which was at peak popularity in the months before the 2016 presidential election — to use politically divisive usernames, for example. The report discusses even more unconventional ways that the Russian accounts attempted to connect with Americans and recruit assets, such as selling merchandise with certain messages, specific follower requests, job offers and even help lines that could encourage people to unknowingly disclose sensitive information that could be used against them. The Russians’ attempts to influence Americans on social media first became widely public in the fall of 2017. Several months later, Mueller’s indictment laid out a vast, organized Russian effort to sway political opinion. While the social media compa-
nies had already detailed some of the efforts, the indictment tied real people to the operation and named 13 Russians responsible. The study repeats several conclusions that Mueller, the intelligence community and the Senate and House intelligence committees had already made — that many of the postings focused on race, that they were primarily to hurt Democrat Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump, and that the ultimate goal was to sow American division. Also notable is the study’s finding that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was favorably treated in posts aimed at both left-leaning and right-leaning users. The report says there were a number of posts expressing support for Assange and Wikileaks, including several in October 2016 just before WikiLeaks released hacked emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign. The second report, compiled by researchers at the University of Oxford and called the Computational Propaganda Research Project, is also partly based on data from the Senate panel. It notes that peaks in Internet Research Agency advertising and organic activity — or posts, shares and comments by users — often corresponded with important dates in the U.S. calendar, crises and international events.
Unions urge work slowdowns by protest-weary police The Associated Press
PARIS — After five straight weekends of disruptive and sometimes violent protests across France, police are taking a turn expressing anger at the French government. Two police unions complained Monday about working conditions and what they said were strained resources as officers have been sent in to clear road blockades and to control trouble-makers at street demonstrations bent on provoking them. The Alliance union urged the government to invest in rebuilding the country’s police forces while calling for a work slowdown Wednesday to protest planned cuts in the national police budget. Another union, UNSA police, said its members only would provide minimum services Tuesday and asked for a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The union asked the government earlier this month for payment of overtime hours officers put in work quelling the protests. “Police are not doing well and nobody is listening,” Frederic Lagache, of the Alliance union, said. Lagache’s union said that French lawmakers are set to
LONDON — Prime Minister Theresa May said Monday that the postponed vote in Parliament on Britain’s Brexit agreement with the European Union will be held the week of Jan. 14 — more than a month after it was originally scheduled and just 10 weeks before Britain leaves the EU. But even as May insisted she could salvage her unpopular divorce deal, pressure was mounting for dramatic action — a new referendum or a vote among lawmakers — to find a way out of Britain’s Brexit impasse and prevent the economic damage of a messy exit from the EU on March 29 with no agreement in place. Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the main opposition Labour Party, said he would submit a motion of no-confidence in the prime minister over her delays. Losing the vote on such a motion would increase the pressure on May, but unlike a no-confidence vote in the government as a whole it wouldn’t trigger a process leading to the fall of the government and an early election. No date was immediately set for the confidence vote. The British government and the EU sealed a divorce deal
US conducts 6 airstrikes against Somalia extremists, 62 dead NAIROBI, Kenya — Six U.S. airstrikes that killed more than 60 people in a coastal Somali town were pre-emptive strikes to prevent a major extremist attack, according to a Somali intelligence officer. The U.S. military said Monday it carried out four strikes on Dec. 15 in which 34 people were killed and two more on Dec. 16 which killed 28. The air attacks targeted Gandarshe, south of the capital, Mogadishu, it said. No civilians were injured or killed in the attacks, it said. The strikes were carried out in close coordination with Somalia’s government and were “conducted to prevent alShabab from using remote areas as a safe haven to plot, direct, inspire, and recruit for future attacks,” said the U.S. military statement. The U.S. airstrikes were aimed at al-Shabab fighters who were preparing a major attack on a Somali government military base in the Lower Shabelle region, said a Somali intelligence official, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press. “The strike has neutralized an imminent attack,” he said. The airstrikes hit both a military camp and battle vehicles in Gandarshe, the official told The Associated Press. Al-Shabab has long used historic Gandarshe town, roughly 48 kilometers (30 miles) southwest of Mogadishu, as a launching pad from for attacks, including car bombs that hit the capital. Al-Shabab uses parts of southern and central Somalia to plot and direct extremist attacks, steal humanitarian aid, extort the local populace to fund its operations, and shelter radicals, said U.S. military statement. With these attacks, the U.S. military has carried out at least 46 airstrikes so far this year against al-Shabab, which is allied to al-Qaida and Africa’s most active Islamic extremist group. Al Shabab, which is fighting to establish its version of Shariah law in Somalia, controls parts of rural southern and central Somalia and continues to stage deadly attacks in Mogadishu and other cities.
3 railway employees arrested in Turkey over train accident ISTANBUL — Turkey’s official news agency says three people have been arrested for their alleged roles in a deadly train accident. Three employees of Turkey’s railway authority were put under pre-trial arrest Monday on the charges of reckless manslaughter and injury, according to Anadolu news agency. They worked as a dispatcher, switchman and controller in Turkish State Railways. A high-speed train on Thursday morning hit a railway engine and crashed into a pedestrian overpass at a station in the Turkish capital Ankara, killing nine and injuring dozens of others. The train was travelling to central Konya province. The head-on collision derailed at least two cars, hitting the station’s overpass, which then collapsed onto the train. The three suspects were detained after the accident over negligence. — The Associated Press

vote on 62 million euros ($70 million) in budget cuts this week that “will once again result in downgraded work conditions,” if approved. Alliance is encouraging police forces to stay inside their stations on Wednesday and only to respond to emergency calls. Alliance said French lawmakers should vote against the
government’s 2019 budget and warns “that other actions will be implemented” if President Emmanuel Macron “does not quickly announce a Marshall Plan for the national police.” The “yellow vest” protests, named after the fluorescent safety vests French motorists must carry, started last month over rising fuel prices. They since have morphed into a mass
show of dissatisfaction involving pensioners, people without jobs and small business owners. The UNSA union threatened Monday to mimic yellow vests protests and to occupy roundabouts if its demands were not met. “The roundabouts are not reserved for yellow vests only,” the union said in a statement. UNSA said.
May says postponed Brexit vote to be held week of Jan 14 By JILL LAWLESS and DANICA KIRKA Associated Press
Around the World
last month, but May postponed a parliamentary vote intended to ratify the agreement last week when it became clear legislators would overwhelmingly reject it. She tried to win changes from the EU to sweeten the deal for reluctant lawmakers, but was rebuffed by the bloc at a summit in Brussels last week. May’s authority also has been shaken after a no-confidence vote from her own party on Wednesday that saw more than a third of Conservative lawmakers vote against her. May told lawmakers in the House of Commons on Monday that they would resume debate on the deal when Parliament comes back after its Christmas break the week of Jan. 7, with the vote held the following week. “I know this is not everyone’s perfect deal,” May said. “It is a compromise. But if we let the perfect be the enemy of the good then we risk leaving the EU with no deal.” Opposition legislators — and many from May’s Conservative Party — remain opposed to the deal, and accused May of deliberately wasting time by delaying the vote for several more weeks. “The prime minister has cynically run down the clock trying to maneuver Parliament into a choice between two un-

acceptable outcomes: her deal and no deal,” Corbyn said. A growing number of politicians from across the political spectrum believe a new referendum may be the only way to break the political logjam over Brexit. But May told lawmakers that staging another referendum would ride roughshod over voters’ 2016 decision to leave the EU and “would say to millions who trusted in democracy that our democracy does not deliver.” May’s deal is loathed both by pro-Brexit lawmakers, who think it keeps Britain bound too
closely to the bloc, and pro-Europeans, who see it as inferior to staying in the EU. The main concern for proBrexit lawmakers is a contentious insurance policy known as the “backstop,” which would keep the U.K. tied to EU customs rules in order to guarantee the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland remains open after Brexit. EU officials insisted at last week’s summit that the withdrawal agreement cannot be renegotiated, although they also stressed that the backstop was meant only as a temporary measure of last resort.
Today is Tuesday, Dec. 18, the 352nd day of 2018. There are 13 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 18, 1865, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery, was declared in effect by Secretary of State William H. Seward. On this date: In 1787, New Jersey became the third state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. In 1892, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s ballet “The Nutcracker” publicly premiered in St. Petersburg, Russia; although now considered a classic, it received a generally negative reception from critics. In 1916, during World War I, the 10-month Battle of Verdun ended with French troops succeeding in repulsing a major German offensive. In 1917, Congress passed the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibiting “the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors” and sent it to the states for ratification. In 1940, Adolf Hitler signed a secret directive ordering preparations for a Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. (Operation Barbarossa was launched in June 1941.) In 1944, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the government’s wartime evacuation of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast while at the same time ruling that “concededly loyal” Americans of Japanese ancestry could not continue to be detained. In 1957, the Shippingport Atomic Power Station in Pennsylvania, the first nuclear facility to generate electricity in the United States, went on line. (It was taken out of service in 1982.) In 1972, the United States began heavy bombing of North Vietnamese targets during the Vietnam War. (The bombardment ended 11 days later.) In 1987, Ivan F. Boesky was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in a major Wall Street insider-trading scandal. (Boesky served about two years of his sentence). In 1992, Kim Young-sam was elected South Korea’s first civilian president in three decades. In 1998, the House debated articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton. South Carolina carried out the nation’s 500th execution since capital punishment resumed in 1977. In 2000, The Electoral College cast its ballots, with President-elect George W. Bush receiving the expected 271; Al Gore, however, received 266, one fewer than expected, because of a District of Columbia Democrat who’d left her ballot blank to protest the district’s lack of representation in Congress. Ten years ago: A U.N. court in Tanzania convicted a former Rwandan army colonel, Theoneste Bagosora, of genocide and crimes against humanity for masterminding the killings of more than half a million people in a 100-day slaughter in 1994. (Bagosora was sentenced to life in prison, but had his sentence reduced in 2011 to 35 years.) W. Mark Felt, the former FBI second-in-command who’d revealed himself as “Deep Throat” three decades after the Watergate scandal, died in Santa Rosa, Calif., at age 95. “Star Trek” actress Majel Barrett Roddenberry, widow of series creator Gene Roddenberry, died in Los Angeles at age 76. Five years ago: A presidential advisory panel released a report recommending sweeping changes to government surveillance programs, including limiting the bulk collection of Americans’ phone records by stripping the National Security Agency of its ability to store that data in its own facilities. Ronnie Biggs, 84, known for his role in Britain’s 1963 Great Train Robbery, died in London. One year ago: An Amtrak train making the first-ever run along a faster route hurtled off an overpass south of Seattle and spilled some of its cars onto the highway below; three people were killed and dozens were hurt. (Investigators found that the train was traveling 80 mph in a 30 mph zone.) A fire and blackout at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s busiest, forced the cancellation of more than 1,500 flights just days before the start of the Christmas rush; airlines said some of the grounded travelers would have to wait days before there would be available seats on flights. The Los Angeles Lakers retired numbers 8 and 24, both of the jersey numbers worn by Kobe Bryant, the leading scorer in franchise history. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Cicely Tyson is 94.

Kenai grad leads Saints’ defense thwarts Panthers area at Besh Cup Staff report Peninsula Clarion
Karl Danielson, a 2018 graduate of Kenai Central High School who currently skis for the University of Alaska Fairbanks, led the Kenai Peninsula at Besh Cup racing at Government Peak at Hatcher Pass on Saturday and Sunday. The Anchorage Daily News reported the two days of racing included five 2018 Olympians, four 2018 World Junior medalists and three 2018 NCAA AllAmericans. Besh Cup racing is used to determine Team Alaska for the Junior Nationals. Junior Nationals will be March 10 to 16, 2019, at Kincaid Park in Anchorage. In Saturday’s 15-kilometer interval start classic for Under-18 skiers and above, Gus Schumacher took the win in 43 minutes, 23.11 seconds. Schumacher was on a U.S. relay team that won a silver medal at the World Junior Champi-
onships in February 2018. Danielson finished 31st in the race at 51:24.55, while Soldotna High School’s Jeremy Kupferschmid was 64th in 59:51.97 and SoHi teammate Bradley Walters was 65th in 59:59.74. The women’s 10-kilometer classic interval start for Under-18 and above was won by Rosie Frankowski in 32:28.01. Frankowski skied for the United States in February’s Winter Olympics. In Sunday’s 10-kilometer freestyle start for Under-18 and above, Schumacher won again at 26:17.07. Danielson was 30th at 30:50.60, while Kupferschmid was 64th at 35:46.70 and Walters was 72nd at 39:09.00. The women did a five-kilometer freestyle and Olympic skier and 2018 Mount Marathon Race champion Jessica Yeaton took that race in 14:47.25. Besh Cup 3 and 4 are scheduled for Jan. 19 and 20, 2019, at Tsalteshi Trails.

Griffin actually missed two 3s in the final 14 seconds. The Detroit star already had a tripledouble after three quarters, but it was a quiet fourth for him. Griffin finished with 19 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, but he also had 10 turnovers.

Saints close the season at home against Pittsburgh and Carolina; the Rams visit Arizona and host San Francisco. Newton struggled throwing the ball more than 10 yards downfield because of a lingering sore right shoulder. He said after the game he’s unsure what the injury is, but he mentioned his labrum and rotator cuff as possible issues. He has been limited in practice for weeks and doesn’t have the zip on the ball he normally has. So much for his boast that the Panthers were bringing a cup to steal the “juice” from the Saints. “(Newton) said something along the lines of they brought their own cup, a juice box or something, I don’t know what it was,” Jordan said. “But I do
know that he’s got to go back to the refrigerator and pull out a bigger cup.” The Saints swept three games from the Panthers last season and knocked them out of the playoffs, prompting Jordan to send Newton a bottle of red wine in the offseason, while some other teammates gave him a broom. This loss likely ended Carolina’s playoff hopes again. Newton said his shoulder simply isn’t getting better — or worse — and he refused to blame the injury, saying, “I have to be better.” “Our defense played a hell of a game and we have to reward them,” Newton said. “We had two turnovers in the red zone and that comes down to execution.”

SAN ANTONIO — Rudy Gay had 21 points and LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan each added 20 as San Antonio defeated Philadelphia. San Antonio bounced back after squandering a 21-point lead in a loss to Chicago on Saturday night. The Spurs held an opponent under 100 points for the fifth straight game.
THUNDER 121, BULLS 96 OKLAHOMA CITY — Paul George scored 16 of his 24 points in the final five minutes of the first half and Oklahoma City rolled past Chicago.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints still have one of the league’s top-scoring offenses, but lately it’s the defense that’s been carrying the NFL’s most complete team. On a night when Brees and the offense couldn’t get much going and made some uncharacteristic mistakes, New Orleans put the clamps on Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers in a 12-9 victory on Monday night, moving the Saints into position to lock up home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs. “I believe in us, game in and game out, first quarter to fourth quarter,” defensive end Cam Jordan said. “If it comes down to a crucial play, I believe in us.” The Saints (12-2) held an

Reconnection with teacher is highlight of reunion plans DEAR TORN: It would not be crossing a line if you and your former teacher were to start a romantic relationship at this point in your lives. However, before you embark on that campaign, it is important that you understand why he has been single all these years. A way to do that without embarrassing yourself Abigail Van Buren would be to pay him a compliment by saying, “Why is it that such a great guy like you has never married?” Then listen. DEAR ABBY: Have you ever heard the saying, “A daughter is a daughter all of her life, but a son is a son ‘til he takes a wife”? Our son and his family have never spent a single Christmas Eve or Christmas Day with us during the entire 17 years they have been married. A Thanksgiving with them is very rare. They live an hour away. We and his in-laws live in the same small town, but they spend every holiday at the in-laws’. Their children have no memories of us on the holidays. When I talked about it with our friends,
they said they have the same problem. All of their sons go to their daughter-in-laws’ parents’, too. With the holidays coming up, I hope you may have something to say about this. When we spoke to our son about it, it just caused bad feelings. -- SAME PROBLEM IN MINNESOTA DEAR PROBLEM: My heart goes out to you and other parents who experience this. However, there is nothing I can do to change the behavior of adult children, as regrettable as it may be. The best advice I can offer is for you -- and your friends -- to spend the holidays doing things that you enjoy. Take a trip, gather with these friends and celebrate. It would be a lot healthier than sitting around brooding about something none of you can control. P.S. It’s regrettable that although you live in the same community as the in-laws, you have not been asked to join them for a holiday meal at their table. After all, marriage is supposed to unite families, not divide them. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Hints from Heloise
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2018: This year you will be a handful to deal with. You have an excess of energy and tend to be luckier and more fiery than usual, as if you were a cat with nine lives. If you are single, you will need to work hard to stay that way. You have more admirers and wannabe sweeties around you than you realize. If you are attached, you will act like lovers reunited after a year of separation. Passion runs high. ARIES might be involved in introducing you to someone special. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 20-April 19) HHH Push to get as much work accomplished as possible. You will want free time for some last-minute holiday errands. You could be surprised by what you hear midday. Use your high energy to pursue a project or key matter. Tonight: Be careful with your wallet and checkbook. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH How you feel during most of the day has nothing to do with how you feel toward the end of the day. You might have a sudden insight about a situation that encourages you to relax. By midafternoon, you suddenly feel like you can take on the world. Tonight: No one can stop you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You can be found anywhere people gather today. The gregarious side of your personality cannot stand being alone in an office right now. You could wear yourself out with your high-frequency energy

by early this evening! Tonight: Do what is right for you. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You seem to be handling more responsibility than usual. You could be pitching in for another person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You seem to be able to visualize more of what you want than those around you can. You might want to plan a mini-vacation in the near future with a group of friends. Meanwhile, reach out to a loved one at a distance. Tonight: Do not forget an important meeting or get-together. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Today, you are concerned about your finances and possibly your relationship with a close loved one. Through the afternoon, work and relate to others on an individual level. If you do, you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams. Tonight: Listen to some fun holiday music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You recently bent over backward for a close friend or loved one. You have been nothing but flexible. No matter what, you could have difficulty figuring out what would be best for you to do with one specific person. Tonight: Join friends at a favorite place for a special treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might feel as if you are in the trenches, doing what everyone else refuses to do. The hectic pace could get the best of you. If you can,

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Staying present and keeping your mind on the issue at hand could be difficult. Your mind might float to a new friend or loved one. You will not be as present as you need to be if you’re at work. A conversation with a loved one cannot be postponed. Tonight: Dance the night away. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You might have difficulty getting started this morning. To your relief, once you rev up your engine and get going, you could be close to unstoppable. The good news is that you probably will make up for lost time quickly. Ask a friend for help if need be. Tonight: Among the crowds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You’re telling it like it is, or so you think. The response you get from others could throw you off and force you to regroup. Know that you might need to act in an unpredictable manner in order to get the space you need. Tonight: You don’t need to tell anyone about your plans. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might be trying to clear out some last-minute holiday shopping. You might wonder about a slight edge or nervousness you could be experiencing.

FLOWER POWER Dear Heloise: I put a fresh flower on a present (I even stick it in one of those little water tubes to keep it fresh), and a piece of holly or little poinsettia for Christmas! -- A Reader, via email THE TIES THAT BIND Dear Heloise: When my father passed away, I had a whole bag of his neckties. I sewed them into a Christmas tree skirt, and now Dad’s with us every Christmas. -- Mariann W., via email Love this idea! -- Heloise GET ONLINE Dear Heloise: When an appliance isn’t working correctly, I do a search on the internet. In the search bar, I enter the appliance brand, type of appliance, model number and nature of the problem. For example: “XXX dishwasher model 12345 will not turn on or stops mid-cycle, or will not drain.” I search the internet for the user manual using the same sequence. Most manuals can be read online, downloaded for future reference or printed. -- Tim D., Kettering, Ohio WRAP IT UP -- I’LL TAKE IT Dear Readers: Here are some of my classic gift-wrapping hints for themed people: * For a wandering soul or traveler, wrap the gift in an old road map. * Yellowed sheet music is great for a musical talent, pianist or aspiring rock star. * The Sunday comics make a colorful wrap for a kid, or a kid at heart. * A colorful bandana can be wrapped around a jewelry box or small similar gift. * Pop a gift in a reusable grocery bag for the environmentalist. * A baby gift can be wrapped in a blanket or swaddler. Use your creativity to give your gifts that extra pizazz! -- Heloise

DEAR ABBY: I’m a woman in my 50s and will be going to my high school reunion in a few months. I recently reconnected with one of my high school teachers, whom I greatly admired. (OK, I’ll admit I had a schoolgirl crush on him.) He is 10 years older, and we had a friendly relationship “back in the day” with extracurricular school activities (he was a sponsor) and even some outside socializing (dances and such), though there were no lines crossed as far as impropriety. We were both engaged to other people (who both happened to live a good distance away) at the time, so there was no thought of a romantic relationship. Fast-forward 40-odd years. We are both single (I’m divorced; he never married). We have been emailing back and forth for a couple of months and making plans to get together at the reunion -- maybe before. We have discussed a lot of things, but he never mentions dating or his former fiancee, so I sometimes wonder if he might be gay. I have two questions: (1) Would it still be crossing a line if we started a romantic relationship because I was once his student? (He’s long retired.)

State police said the trucker immediately stopped his big rig and brought the dogs to
safety, scooping up the one that was severely injured while the other one, unscathed other than a few abrasions, followed on his own. State troopers bandaged the badly injured dog and splinted his leg on the side of the highway, keeping him warm with a blanket and the trucker’s sweatshirt. Meanwhile, the other dog gobbled half a box of dog biscuits.
The dogs were later renamed Trooper, for the state troopers who aided them, and Adam, after the trucker. Trooper is 6 to 8 years old, Ondria said. Adam is about a year old. Trooper suffered a compound fracture of his distal radius and ulna on the front right leg that was amputated and a hairline fracture of the ulna on the left front leg,

as well as broken ribs and contusions to his lungs and shoulder, the humane society said. Because of the damage to his left leg, Trooper will require assistance getting around and perhaps even a harness to stabilize him, Ondria said. “He has quite the road to recovery ahead of him,� she said.
