In the news Anchorage police say fatal shooting followed altercation ANCHORAGE — An 18-year-old was killed and a teenage boy seriously wounded in a shooting during an altercation between a group of juveniles near popular athletic fields, police said Monday. The shooter has yet to be arrested. The names of the victims have not been released. Police said they were working to notify the dead teen’s next of kin. Police said they received a report just before 6:30 p.m. Sunday of shots fired near Sullivan Arena, a convention center and athletic arena. The arena borders a football stadium and near baseball fields used by high school and adult teams. A few minutes later a dispatcher took a call from a person who said he had been shot. Officers found the dead teen and the critically wounded juvenile in woods that police described as far off the trail system. Police initially said both victims were juveniles. Both had been shot multiple times. The shooter ran away. Detectives are working to identify and find the suspect, police said.

Coast Guard ends search after owner identifies drifting boat ANCHORAGE — The Coast Guard says an empty boat that launched a search east of Whittier had drifted away from its owner and was not the result of anyone overboard. The owner came forward Monday to identify the boat. A 10-foot blue and gray Zodiak was reported adrift at 7:30 a.m. Monday in Passage Canal. The boat carried fishing gear, oars and cat food, which can be used as shrimp bait. The boat had no motor and no identifying numbers on the hull. Fearing someone overboard, the Coast Guard launched a search with a Jayhawk helicopter from Kodiak, a response boat crew from Valdez and an auxiliary crew out of Whittier to search. —Associated Press

Senate to consider $1,600 PFD By Alex McCarthy Juneau Empire

After all the talk of a super-sized dividend or a smaller-than-average dividend, Alaskans might be getting the same Alaska Permanent Fund dividend this year that they got last year. The Alaska Senate is considering a bill that would give out a $1,600 dividend this year, which would be the same amount as last year. The Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Sens. Bert w and Natasha von Imhof, proposed the bill Monday, and the Senate is set to debate the bill at 9 a.m. Tuesday. The bill introduced Monday, Senate Bill 1002, could be amended on the Senate floor Tuesday, so the $1,600 figure could change before it gets sent to the House. Gov. Mike Dunleavy would also have to sign off on the bill, and

Reaching new heights Nikiski skateboarder enters the world stage By Brian Mazurek Peninsula Clarion

Not everyone associates Alaska with skateboarding, but Vaughn Johnson certainly does. Johnson, 32, is a lifelong Nikiski resident and avid skateboarder, and for the past two years he has represented Alaska in the World Round-Up, an international Freestyle Skateboarding Competition in Cloverdale, British Columbia. The competition took place May 17-20, with participants each getting 90 seconds to perform a choreographed routine set to music. Forty contestants from Australia to Chile competed in the pro and amateur divisions, with Johnson competing in the amateur division. Johnson said that this year he didn’t do as well as he would have liked, but for him the experience of seeing his friends from around the world is more important than winning. “It’s not like we show up and we’re all hyped on competing with one other,” Vaughn said. “We’re all just excited to see what everyone can do.”

Freestyle skateboarding involves performing tricks on flat ground without incorporating ramps, rails or any other objects

beside the board itself. Johnson showed off a few moves as an example: one where he balanced on his board like it was a pogo

Hold music changes leave artists waiting by the telephone By Ben Hohenstatt Juneau Empire

Some musicians were surprised to see their songs cut from the playlist when the Alaska Music on Hold project returned this month. Alaska Music on Hold replaces the state’s more typical hold Muzack with music by Alaska artists. It went live Nov. 25 last year, and was paused sometime in January because of complaints that some songs included in the mix were inappropriate for public use, according to a state Department of Administration response to a

Juneau Empire inquiry. The music’s return was announced via a May 17 press release, and when it came back a pair of songs — “Flicker of Light” by Whiskey Class and “Mother Carries” by Harm — were no longer on the list of hold music. One new selection, “Bravura Variations on Alaska’s Flag Song” by Paul Rosenthal, is now part of the lineup. “Nobody emailed us, no one called us,” said Heather Warren, lyricist and percussionist for Harm. “No one has notified us with anything. We didn’t even know that it

was an issue.” Patrick Troll of Whiskey Class said he also was not notified of the change. Both Warren and Troll said they were initially excited about the additional exposure being part of the initial five-song lineup that included Grammy Award-winning band Portugal. The Man. Ben Brown, Chairman for Alaska State Council on the Arts, confirmed that the songs by Whiskey Class and Harm were no longer part of the Alaska Music on Hold Project, with which the council assists. Brown said he was See HOLD, page A3

Bering Sea survey could provide insight on cod finds ANCHORAGE (AP) — U.S. scientists plan to survey the Bering Sea this summer and hope to shed light on why fish not normally seen in its northern stretches have been found there. Cod is caught in large numbers by commercial boats in the Bering Sea but typically hundreds of miles south of Nome. Yet, last fall, fisherman Adem Boeckmann, who lives outside Nome, said he found cod in some of his crab pots. He told Alaska’s Energy Desk he had never seen anything like that. Lyle Britt, a federal fisheries scientist, said there aren’t clear answers. “Is this part of an environmental shift, where with the warming, the northern Bering Sea is going to become a topdown system?” he said. “Or, is this more like an ephemeral trend that just happened because we had an unusually warm year, and things will reset? We don’t really know.” The surveys are being done by the Seattle-based Alaska Fisheries Science Center, which is an arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. They will include the northern part of the Bering Sea, full surveys of which have been done less frequently than those in the eastern Bering Sea, a region that also will be included in this summer’s work. The two most recent surveys of the northern Bering Sea occurred in 2010 and 2017, the latter of which was a warmer year with lower sea ice. The year’s surveys could shed light on whether 2017’s results, which showed large amounts of pollock and cod in the northern Bering Sea compared to 2010, reflected an isolated event or the start of a long-term trend. The eastern Bering Sea cod and pollock fisheries are worth an estimated $2 billion. Fishermen have seen a gradual shift northward in their cod fishing patterns, said Chad See,

More airspace restrictions sought near radar station FAIRBANKS (AP) — The U.S. military has proposed expanding restricted airspace around Alaska’s Clear Air Force Station, officials said. The U.S. Missile Defence Agency’s plans for a new Long Range Discrimination Radar include a proposal to increase restrictions beyond those of the existing radar facility north of the small community of Healy, The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported Sunday. Public meetings to inform pilots and others about the proposed changes are scheduled this week in Anchorage, Anderson and Fairbanks.

The defence agency already prohibits airplanes from flying in the immediate vicinity of the station about 112 miles southwest of Fairbanks, officials said. Additional restricted airspace is needed to protect aircraft from a high-intensity radiated field from the new system, officials said. Conditions in the world have changed the way the defence agency wants to use the radar system, which is not yet complete, officials said. “Real-World adversary threat evolution has significantly changed operational tempo and expanded See AIR, page A3

Johnson said that unlike other styles of skateboarding where every trick is called something specific, freestyle skateboarders will often make up original tricks while coming up with their routine. “That’s the weird thing about freestyle skateboarding. Half of what you see people doing doesn’t even have a name,” Johnson said. Johnson has created a few tricks of his own, including one that has come to be known as the “Kodiak flip” by others in the freestyle community, in reference to Johnson’s Alaska heritage. “I came up with it kind of by accident,” Johnson said. “I was trying to do a different trick and then it was like ‘Wow, I wonder if I can do that again.’” As it turns out, he could pull it off pretty regularly, and the trick has become highly requested whenever Johnson competes. Johnson has been more of a traditional skateboarder for the majority of the time he’s been riding and has been competing in street competitions around the state since he was 16. Only recently did Johnson branch out into the world of freestyle, and it was partly of out necessity. Johnson now has three sons, Vaughn, Castiel and Anson, and

ing grounds in the eastern Bering Sea or come from elsewhere, such as Russian waters to the west? If they swam from the eastern Bering Sea, that would help explain why scientists didn’t find more cod in the fishing grounds in their 2017 survey, See said. “If it’s the same stock, one might say that the

health of the stock, at least from a biomass perspective, is still very strong,” See said. “If the fish in the eastern Bering Sea just disappeared, we have a different problem entirely.” Boeckmann has considered spending $30,000 on new gear for commercial cod fishing but first wants reassurances that he could consistently

make a profit. He recalled speaking with a federal scientist who suggested that as quickly as the cod showed up off Nome, they could disappear. “Things have changed, absolutely,” Boeckmann said. “But there’s nothing saying it’s not going to flop right back to what it was for 100-plus years tomorrow.”

for a while skateboarding took a backseat to being a dad. About three years ago, Johnson picked up his board again and started practicing freestyle tricks right outside his house on a small stretch of concrete, this time with his boys cheering him on. “I figured out pretty quickly that I really liked freestyle,” Johnson said. “So I got involved with the competition circuit, got a small but growing following online, and now I’m involved in the community quite a bit at this point.” Johnson said the freestyle skateboarding community was very welcoming when he first got on the scene. After he posted his first video on Instagram he

immediately started getting feedback from other freestyle skateboarders on the right equipment to buy, how to improve his technique and suggestions for tricks that fit into his style. Now that he’s made a name for himself in the international freestyle community, Johnson wants to bring that same welcoming and inclusive spirit back home to the peninsula. Johnson plans to become certified as a skateboarding instructor, and within the next month he hopes to start organizing biweekly skate jams through the city of Kenai where kids can get together and have the opportunity to improve their skills while getting guidance from Johnson

and others. Johnson sees skateboarding as a healthy way to keep kids active and wants to eliminate some of the stigma that still exists around the sport. Johnson also has every intention of staying in the competition circuit, which includes returning to the World Round-Up next year for a chance at redemption. He said that this year he hadn’t given his routine enough practice and got hit with a bit of stage fright once he was in front of the crowd. “Oh, I’m definitely going back next year. That’s already set in stone,” Johnson said. “Next time I plan on hammering that routine until I can do it injured and in my sleep.”

not privy to the specific complaints that led to the change. “None of that came directly to the council or to me,” Brown said. He said reaching out to the affected artists would have been a good idea and something he would still try to do. The DOA also did not share any specific complaints that led to the changes, but legislative liaison Kelly Hanke provided the Empire a link to a Must Read Alaska blog post as an example of public concerns. The blog post noted the “drunken wandering sound” of “Flicker of Light” makes for odd state hold music, as did the tone and content of “Mother Carries” by Harm. “‘Mother Carries’ and its discordant, trauma-driven message might just drive a distressed caller over the edge,” read the post. It notes one of the song’s genre tags is “witch house,” which is a a niche genre of electronic music that can include occult themes. “Perhaps the Department of Administration didn’t consider what impact the song may have on a traumatized Alaskan calling the State in distress, perhaps trying to track down a birth certificate or a death certificate, or perhaps frustrated by the Office of Children’s Services or a probation officer,” read the post. “For that matter, what will serious business callers from Outside think of Alaska if they

are considering opening an enterprise here? Is this a state that is open for business or is it an unhealthy place to call home?” Warren took exception to the criticism. “That particular song, it’s just a list of self-care techniques,” Warren said. Warren added that the spokenword ending of the song that includes the line, “I will box a trauma as a joke and wrap it like a gift,” was not included in the song snippet sent for the hold music project. Troll also wasn’t thrilled about the development, but understood why the Whiskey Class song would be on the chopping block. “I mean, not being too harsh. But it makes sense,” he said in a message. “Everything that is going on with Alaska politics is the opposite of groovy, so why would they want groovy songs to be a representation of Alaska?” Both Brown and the DOA indicated that the plan is for the Alaska Music on Hold project to continue and to involve new artists. Brown said he hopes in the future there will be a transparent song-selection process involving a review panel. He said some of the confusion surrounding the recent changes stems from the lack of such a system, which could begin to be developed relatively soon. “It will be later this year,” Brown said. “I think what we’ll do is staff will come up with a proposal. Then, we’ll float it for all the trustees.” “We’re asking our pilots to look very carefully at these and let us know what impacts, if any, they’re liable to encounter so we can provide as informed feedback as possible to this process,” George said. A larger restricted air space may hamper visual flight rules for pilots travelling between Anchorage and Fairbanks and could affect higher-flying aircraft, George said.

in his statement. “The PFD is your share of Alaska’s mineral wealth, and there should be no change to the dividend without a vote of the people. “That’s what I promised on the campaign and that’s the promise I intend to keep. I cannot and will not support this legislation.” During his campaign and prior to the session beginning, Dunleavy asserted his desire to not only pay a full, $3,000 PFD, but to also include back payments to make up for the fact that the Alaska Legislature cut the PFD amount the past three years to balance the state’s budget. Legislators have all but ignored the back

pay option. Speaker of the House Bryce Edgmon told The Associated Press on Monday that he believes there would be support in the House for the $1,600 total. He went on to tell the AP that if Dunleavy vetoed the bill, it would almost certainly cause another special session. During this legislative session, lawmakers have been gridlocked on the amount of the dividend and the future of the fund itself. The Legislature has had to go into a special session (which is now halfway through its 30 days) to iron out the PFD, along with the budget and other issues. Some lawmakers have advocated for a full PFD, while some have suggested lower-than-usual dividends.

The original budget from the House, for example, allowed for about a $1,200 dividend. SB 1002 unanimously passed the Senate Rules Committee on Monday. During that committee meeting, Stedman spoke about the ins and outs of the bill. The bill would take $770 million from the state’s general fund and $172 million from the budget reserve fund (which the Legislature is allowed to access as long as a majority of members vote to do so). It would also take between $128 million and $148 million from the Alaska Higher Education Investment Fund. This fund assists Alaskans who pursue secondary education in state. Stedman said the fund currently has more than $300 million in it, and said he doesn’t think drawing this

money puts the fund in jeopardy in the short term. Stedman and the members of the Senate Rules Committee — a group that includes Senate President Cathy Giessel, Majority Leader Mia Costello and Minority Leader Tom Begich — agreed that it’s vital that the Legislature figures out a way to make the PFD sustainable into the future. “We’re impacting our descendents, and not (just) for next year or 10 years from now, but 25 years from now, 50 years from now, 100 years from now, it goes on in perpetuity,” Stedman, a Sitka Republican, said. “So it’s a significant decision that faces the Legislature, how to finance our current obligations and not devour our seed capital that really should be left for future generations of Alaskans.”

What others say

Europe turns out for a historic vote Last week’s elections to the

European Parliament, like many other elections these days, were more of an ideological battleground than a process of choosing representatives to a legislature. The populist nationalists on the rise across much of the world had been expected to score big, and to the degree that they fell short there was relief. But there was little else to pop Champagne corks about. The European Parliament itself is not an institution many Europeans feel strongly about, and past elections have reflected that disinterest. But the rise of populism and a broad dissatisfaction with traditional parties turned this year’s elections into something of a referendum on populist nationalism, on the European Union itself and on the mainstream parties. The results delivered the heartening news that Europeans still care about Europe. Europe’s populist parties had wanted to make the elections a dagger in the heart of the bloc. That danger galvanized supporters of the 28-member union, resulting in a turnout of more than 50 percent, the highest since 1994. The populists did increase their share of seats, from 20 percent to a robust 25 percent, but fell short of the landslide many had feared. Pro-European forces in Parliament remained dominant. Yet the results also showed Europe more polarized than ever. Those who wanted to support the European Union usually voted for smaller parties, like the Greens or Liberals, and voters on the right often went further right, all but abandoning the mainstream center-left and center-right parties that have controlled the European Parliament for years. Bitter divisions also shaped some voting patterns. Where populists were already in control, as in Poland, Hungary and Italy, they did well. In Italy, Matteo Salvini’s far-right League Party garnered 34 percent of the vote, giving him a claim to pre-eminence among the populists of Europe. But in France, Marine Le Pen was not far behind in right-wing glory, as her National Rally vacuumed up disaffected voters, including many of the forever-protesting Yellow Vests, to take 23 percent of the vote, a smidgen more than President Emmanuel Macron’s La République en Marche party, which had trounced her only two years earlier. Britain was a case unto itself, since it was supposed to be out of the European Union by now. But the failure to achieve Brexit compelled the Britons to participate, and the vote confirmed a yawning gap. A pro-Brexit party formed only a few weeks ago by Nigel Farage took 31 percent of the votes. Yet parties opposed to leaving the union jointly won far more votes, 47 percent. The two establishment parties, the Conservatives and Labour, scored low — 9.1 and 14.1 percent, respectively — suggesting that any possibility of a political compromise deal is more remote than ever. So Europe lives for now. But the main story remains the smoldering dissatisfaction with the status quo and the nationalism this has fostered. That’s not only a European story; it’s what’s happening in America as the battle lines form for the 2020 presidential race, and it’s the prism through which elections around the world are now viewed. In the world’s biggest democracy, India, the decisive re-election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Hindu nationalist, echoed the rise of populists around the world. By contrast, in the thirdlargest democracy, Indonesia (the United States is second), the re-election of President Joko Widodo, a soft-spoken politician who is more concerned with building roads than firing up nationalist passions, was perceived as a strong riposte to the rise of populist strongmen. There’s plenty of grist in this scene for both pessimists and optimists. The former will focus on the fragmentation of traditional politics and the opportunities this holds for populist parties and authoritarian leaders. The optimists will rejoice

Make the sustainable choice for the PFD A laska V oices L arry P ersily Maybe the answer is fish. No, not the answer to what’s for dinner tonight. The answer to solving the increasingly acrimonious debate over the amount of this year’s Alaska Permanent Fund dividend. Figuring out how to share the investment earnings of the permanent fund between community services, such as schools and the university system and state troopers, and with individual Alaskans through the fall dividend payment is a lot like sharing salmon between multiple competing interests. The commercial fishing industry, sportfishing enthusiasts, charter boat operators and customers, Alaskans reliant on personal-use harvests and subsistence gatherers all want their fair share of salmon. Contentious as it is, Alaskans manage to share the fish between all the groups. Not always with a smile, but with a focus on sustained yield — not taking more than the salmon runs can withstand. The goal is to let enough fish get past the nets and hooks to spawn and maintain a healthy population. Management for sustained yield is required by the Alaska Constitution, the same document which so many Alaskans are fond of quoting for justification that they, as individuals, own a share of the state revenue from each

barrel of oil that comes out of the ground. The natural resource section of the constitution, Article VIII, says: “Fish, forests, wildlife, grasslands, and all other replenishable resources belonging to the State shall be utilized, developed, and maintained on the sustained yield principle. …” If sustained yield — preserving enough salmon for the future — is good enough for the state’s famous seafood that provides a livelihood, lifestyle and culture for so many people, why not think of permanent fund earnings the same. Limit the annual withdrawal from the fund to no more than it can sustain — and still grow its returns. The Alaska Legislature last year wisely set into law just such a limit on annual withdrawals of permanent fund earnings. Lawmakers determined that the fund could afford each year to pay out 5.25% of its average earnings over the past five years, and still have enough earnings left over to protect the fund from inflation while continuing to grow the account for years to come. And, to be even safer, they decided the 5.25% withdrawal would apply only for the first three years, after which it would reset to a 5% draw. Legislators determined that an annual 5% draw on the account would be sustainable long term. It could provide for permanent fund dividends to Alaskans, school funding and all the other community services our state needs, and still allow the fund to come back each year to make more money, provide more dividends and community services. That’s sustained yield. But this year, too many Alaskans,

and too many elected leaders, are caught up in a politically charged, social media-enabled fury, pushing so hard for an unaffordable dividend in the $3,000 range that they are willing to look at breaking the sustained-yield protective shield and withdrawing additional money from the permanent fund. Overdrawing the account for the sake of an individual benefit this year means that the fund will have less money for the public good in future years. Just like catching too many salmon this summer, damaging future returns. Overdrawing the permanent fund to pay a big fat dividend, rather than an affordable-but-still-sizable check, places the individual benefit ahead of the common good. It gets us back to fish as the answer. The Alaska Constitutional says: “Wherever occurring in their natural state, fish, wildlife, and waters are reserved to the people for common use.” Legislators should think of the common use and sustained yield principles — those two constitutional mandates — as they vote on a dividend so large that it risks overdrawing the permanent fund. After making the smart, sustainable choice, lawmakers should go out and enjoy a dinner of fresh salmon.

News and Politics

House to vote on holding Barr, McGahn in contempt WASHINGTON — A top Democrat announced Monday that the House will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General William Barr and former White House counsel Don McGahn in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with congressional subpoenas. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said in a statement that the Trump administration’s “systematic refusal to provide Congress with answers and cooperate with Congressional subpoenas is the biggest cover-up in American history, and Congress has a responsibility to provide oversight on behalf of the American people.” The resolution scheduled for a June 11 floor vote will allow the Judiciary Committee to pursue civil action to seek enforcement of its subpoenas in federal court, Hoyer said. The House Judiciary Committee voted last month to hold Barr in contempt after he refused to turn over an unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report. McGahn, one of the most-cited wit-

nesses in the report, has been directed by the White House to defy the Judiciary panel’s subpoenas for documents and testimony. The move comes as Democrats face increased pressure from some of their members to launch impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. Some Democrats at a leadership meeting late Monday indicated they welcomed the contempt vote, according to people familiar with the private session, though it is unlikely to quell calls for impeachment hearings against Trump. More than 40 House Democrats have called on House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler to start impeachment proceedings, which would make it easier for them to compel document production and testimony. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has so far rejected that option, preferring a slower, more methodical approach to investigating the president. As part of that effort, Nadler said Monday that his panel will hold a series of hearings on “the alleged crimes and other misconduct” in Mueller’s report, starting with a hearing June 10, the day

before the contempt votes, on whether Trump committed obstruction of justice. The hearing will feature John Dean, who was White House counsel for President Richard Nixon, and former U.S. attorneys. The hearings will serve as a stand-in of sorts for Mueller himself, who made clear in public comments last week that he does not want to appear before Congress and would not elaborate on the contents of his report if he were forced to testify. Democrats have suggested they will compel Mueller’s appearance if necessary, but it’s unclear when — or if — that will happen. Negotiations over Mueller’s testimony are ongoing. In the meantime, Democrats are searching for ways to keep the spotlight fixed on Mueller’s investigation — a challenge compounded by the White House’s refusal to comply with request for documents and testimony related to the report, which has stymied their investigations. Mueller investigated whether Trump tried to obstruct his probe, but the report reached no conclusion on whether the president acted illegally. Nadler said in a statement that Mueller “has now left Congress to pick up where he left off.”

that resistance to nationalism and far-right ideologues brought out so many voters, many of them young. It is no time to pop Champagne. A fateful debate is underway over the future of

Europe, and the future of democracy, and traditional parties have been sent a strong warning that they need to get with it. But if what used to be boring elections to a distant European legislature can draw

so many voters and stir such passionate debate, there is also no cause for despair. This is real politics, in real time.

Nation US, Mexico officials to begin talks over tariffs, border By LUIS ALONSO LUGO, LISA MASCARO and HOPE YEN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mexico launched a counteroffensive Monday against the threat of U.S. tariffs, warning not only that it would hurt the economies of both countries but also could cause a quarter-million more Central Americans to migrate North. A high-level delegation from the Mexican government held a press conference at the embassy in Washington, making the case against the threat by President Donald Trump of imposing a 5% tariff on Mexican imports by June 10. It is unclear what more Mexico can do — and what will be enough — to satisfy the president. “As a sign of good faith, Mexico should immediately stop the flow of people and drugs through their country and to our Southern Border. They can do it if they want!” Trump tweeted Monday from London. Trump’s Republican allies warn that tariffs on Mexican imports will hit U.S. consumers and harm the economy.

The president all but taunted negotiators for a quick resolution. “Mexico is sending a big delegation to talk about the Border,” the president tweeted Sunday. “Problem is, they’ve been ‘talking’ for 25 years. We want action, not talk.” But Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard replied Monday that both countries working together is “the best way to do it.” Mexico said it will only go so far to avert the duties, and absolutely ruled out a “third safe country” agreement that would require asylum seekers to apply for refuge in Mexico first. “There is a clear limit to what we can negotiate, and the limit is Mexican dignity,” said Mexico’s Ambassador to the United States, Martha Barcena. Barcena said Mexico has taken steps to offer migrants visas in Mexico, and “without Mexico’s efforts an additional quarter-million migrants could arrive at the U.S. border in 2019.” Barcena said Mexico has accepted 8,835 returned migrants as of May 29, and they are now waiting in the country for an asylum hearing in the U.S. courts.

and Senate old-timers have seemed to outmaneuver the White House, though Trump personally prevailed upon Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., to drop a bid to free up billions of dollars for dredging and other harbor projects. The Senate passed the bill by a sweeping 85-8 vote on its way out of Washington May 23, a margin that reflected a consensus that the bill is long overdue. The measure was initially held up over a fight between Trump and Democrats over aid to Puerto Rico that seems

long settled. “Some in our government refused to assist our fellow Americans in Puerto Rico who are still recovering from a 2017 hurricane. I’m pleased we’ve moved past that,” said House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y. “Because when disaster strikes, we shouldn’t let a ZIP code dictate our response.” The measure also faced delays amid failed talks on Trump’s $4 billion-plus request to care for thousands of mostly Central American migrants being held at the

southern border. The sides narrowed their differences but couldn’t reach agreement in the rush to go on recess but everyone agrees that another bill will be needed almost immediately to refill nearly empty agency accounts to care for migrants. The measure is largely the same as a version that passed the House last month that Republicans opposed for leaving out the border funding. “We must work together quickly to pass a bill that addresses the surge of unaccompanied children crossing the border and provides law enforcement agencies with the funding they need,” said top Appropriations Committee Republican Kay Granger of Texas. “The stakes are high. There are serious — life or death — repercussions if the Congress does not act.” Among the reasons was a demand by House liberals to block the Homeland Security Department from getting information from federal social welfare authorities to help track immigrants residing in the U.S. illegally who take migrant refugee children into their homes.

APNewsBreak: Ex-governor’s phone seized in Flint water probe

LANSING, Mich. — Authorities investigating Flint’s water crisis have used search warrants to seize from storage the state-owned mobile devices of former Gov. Rick Snyder and 65 other current or former officials, The Associated Press has learned. The warrants were sought two weeks ago by the attorney general’s office and signed by a Flint judge, according to documents the AP obtained through publicrecords requests. Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym

Worthy, who is helping with the probe, confirmed they executed a series of search warrants related to the criminal investigation of Flint’s lead-contaminated water in 2014-15 and an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease. They declined further comment. One warrant, signed May 19, lists all content from Snyder’s cellphone, iPad and computer hard drive. Similar information was sought from the devices of 33 employees who worked in his office, 11 in the Department of Environmental Quality and 22 in the Department of Health and Human Services. The evidence was apparently initially obtained by

Congress finally to send $19B disaster aid bill to Trump WASHINGTON — Congress is finally shipping President Donald Trump a $19.1 billion disaster aid bill, a measure stalled for months by infighting, misjudgment, and a presidential feud with Democrats. The House is approving the measure in its first significant action as it returns from a 10-day recess. It is slated for a Monday evening vote in which Republicans whose home districts have been hit by hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and fires are set to join with majority Democrats to deliver a big vote for the measure. Conservative Republicans had held up the bill during the recess, objecting on three occasions to efforts by Democratic leaders to pass the bill by a voice vote requiring unanimity. They say the legislation — which reflects an increasingly permissive attitude in Washington on spending to address disasters that sooner or later hit every region of the country — shouldn’t be rushed through without a recorded vote.

former special prosecutor Todd Flood with investigative subpoenas. Because it has been kept in a division of the attorney general’s office, Hammoud took the unusual step of securing a warrant to search another part of the office. She has been managing the probe since January. “We’re doing everything we can to comply,” said Dan Olsen, a spokesman for Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is not involved in the criminal investigation and is instead handling lawsuits against the state by Flint residents. A similar warrant was also issued to the Department of Technology, Management and Budget. “The department is complying with the warrant. We cannot discuss the details further because it is part of pending litigation,” spokesman Caleb Buhs said. A spokesman for the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy — formerly the Department of Environmental Quality — confirmed it was served a warrant last week. The warrants seek data from the devices of individuals who have been charged in the probe but also un-

charged officials such as Snyder, former Environmental Quality director Dan Wyant and various people who worked in Snyder’s office including Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, top aide Richard Baird and chief of staff Dick Posthumus. Lawyers who have represented Snyder and his office could not immediately be reached for comment Monday. The warrants came after Hammoud this year reported that boxes of records were discovered in the basement of a state building, including phone extractions and a “trove” of other materials stored on hard drives that allegedly had not been turned over in response to the subpoenas. She sought long breaks in the criminal cases to look at the boxes and any other evidence, but judges declined to suspend the cases for six months. Flood was ousted as special prosecutor in April after leading the three-year investigation that led to charges against current or former government officials, including two members of Snyder’s Cabinet. Nobody in Snyder’s office has been charged.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The swollen Mississippi River is straining levees, snarling traffic and forcing people from their homes as it approaches record levels set during devastating flooding in 1993. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson was touring flooded areas Monday in the northeast part of the state, where there have been around a dozen water rescues. Statewide, nearly 400 roads are closed, including part of U.S. 136. Locks and dams upstream of St. Louis are shut down as the Mississippi River crests at the secondhighest level on record in some communities. Midwestern rivers have flooded periodically since March, causing billions of dollars of damage to farmland, homes and businesses from Oklahoma and Arkansas and up to Michigan. Near the 1,400-person town of Winfield, Missouri, a Mississippi River levee breached Sunday, forcing evacuations in a rural area, said Sue Casseau, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. On Saturday, sandbags were intentionally removed from a farm levee along the Mississippi River near Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, to allow water through and remove pressure downstream. The Illinois River also overtopped levees that protect a combined 1,500 acres in western Illinois, she said. “If water is over the field, no one is planting,” Casseau said. “The full economic impact won’t be known until the end of this planting and harvest season.” Floodgates also have been closed in St. Louis in advance of the Mississippi River cresting there Thursday. The high water already is causing problems. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that several hotels that were crowded with visitors for the Stanley Cup Final and Cardinals-Cubs baseball games were left without hot water Sunday after too much water overwhelmed a pump station. Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Eric Brown said there also has been sandbagging in several towns and added that “one of the most impressive things is to see these communities come together.” In Lewis County, Missouri, the focus of much of the sandbagging, floodwaters from the Mississippi River surround the Mark Twain casino on three sides in the town of LaGrange, which isn’t protected by a levee, said Sheriff David Parrish. People also are sandbagging around homes and the city hall there, as well as several other areas of the county. He said that one levee that protects the towns of Taylor and West Quincy is being shored up with 3,500 tons of rock. “It is the second highest level by inches since ‘93,” he said of the river. In Michigan, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer declared a state of emergency Monday for Tuscola County after heavy rainfall last week caused widespread flooding. Whitmer earlier announced a state of emergency in Wayne County, which includes Detroit. Areas along Lake St. Clair and western Lake Erie also have been hit by flooding in recent weeks. Vice President Mike Pence announced plans for a trip to Oklahoma on Tuesday to visit flood damage from the Arkansas River. Damage has extended from the Tulsa area downstream into Arkansas. The river is slowly cresting, with major flooding is expected to subside within a few weeks.

High court will hear copyright dispute involving pirate ship WASHINGTON — A dispute involving the pirate Blackbeard’s sunken ship is on deck for the Supreme Court’s next term. The justices said Monday they will hear arguments in the fall in a copyright case involving the Queen Anne’s Revenge, which was discovered off North Carolina’s coast in 1996. The case pits the state of North Carolina against a company that has documented the ship’s recovery. The ship is the property of the state, but under an agreement, North Carolina-based Nautilus Productions has for nearly two decades documented the ship’s salvage. In the process, the company and copyrighted photos and videos of the ship. In 2013, the state and Nautilus resolved one copyright dispute over photos the state posted on the website of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, which oversees the ship’s recovery and preservation. The sides reached a settlement agreement in which neither side admitted wrongdoing. But Nautilus later sued after the state posted a handful of Nautilus videos on a state YouTube channel and used a photo in a newsletter. In 2015, state lawmakers passed a law that made shipwreck videos and photographs in the state’s custody public records. In its lawsuit, Nautilus argued the law should be declared unconstitutional. A trial court initially allowed Nautilus’ lawsuit to go forward. The judge pointed to the federal Copyright Remedy Clarification Act, a 1990 law that allows private parties to sue states for violations of federal copyright law. North Carolina appealed, arguing that the federal law was unconstitutional and it was immune from being sued. An appeals court agreed, and now the Supreme Court will decide whether the lawsuit can proceed. Nautilus’ owner, Rick Allen, said in a statement Monday that he was gratified the court had agreed to hear his case. North Carolina Department of Justice spokeswoman Laura Brewer said in an email that the office looks forward to continuing to defend the state in the case. The Queen Anne’s Revenge was originally a French ship when Blackbeard, the Englishman Edward Teach, captured the vessel in the fall of 1717. He armed the ship with 40 cannons and made it his flagship. The following year, Blackbeard was sailing north from Charleston, South Carolina, when the ship went aground in what’s now called Beaufort Inlet. Blackbeard abandoned the ship. Five months later, members of the Royal Navy of Virginia killed Blackbeard at Ocracoke Inlet. — The Associated Press

Hungary: Body recovered from site of sunken tour boat By PABLO GORONDI Associated Press

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Divers have recovered a body from near the sunken tour boat carrying South Korean tourists that capsized last week after a collision with a river cruise ship, Hungarian officials said Monday. The agency leading the salvage operations said that Hungarian divers found a body in the water Monday morning during an inspection of the wreck and it was brought to the surface in the afternoon by Korean divers also assisting in the search and recovery efforts. The identity of the victim wasn’t immediately released. If confirmed as one of the victims of Wednesday night’s collision on the Danube River, 20 others are still missing. Seven people were rescued after the sinking and seven others were confirmed dead. During Monday’s search and recovery efforts, relatives of some of the missing South Korean tourists briefly watched the maneuvers from the bridge above the scene of the last week’s mishap.

The Hableany (Mermaid) capsized and sank after colliding with a much larger river cruise ship, the Viking Sygin, near the Hungarian Parliament building. Seven of the 35 people on board were rescued, with now eight confirmed fatalities and 20 people, including one or two Hungarian crew members, still missing. During a midday news conference, the head of the government agency in charge of coordinating search and rescue efforts, said Hungarian and South Koreans were taking part together in the exploratory dives meant to recover any bodies possible trapped in the wreckage at the Margit Bridge in downtown Budapest. “We will do everything except for one thing — entering the boat’s wreckage is strictly forbidden,” Janos Hajdu said. “It is an absolutely life-threatening maneuver but on this we agree with our partners.” Hajdu said the wreckage was located 29 ½ feet deep, about 9 feet, 10 inches lower than previous official estimates. Despite a few test dives last week, the Danube’s

fast flow, its high springtime water levels and near zero visibility under water have prevented divers from reaching the sunken boat. Hajdu said that a huge floating crane able to lift 200 tons and able to hoist the boat out of the water is expected at the scene within days. State television reported that the crane was stranded for now at the city of Komaron, roughly 74.5 miles upriver, unable to pass under bridges on its way to Budapest because of the Danube’s high water levels. Shun-keun Song, military attache at the South Korean Embassy in Budapest, said relatives of the victims

were anxious for news. “If conditions improve … the Korean divers would like to examine the hull of the boat,” he said. “The relatives in Korea are waiting very much for the missing family members to finally appear.” Zoltan Tolnay, captain of a sightseeing boat in Budapest, said he was about a mile south from the site of the collision when it happened. “I didn’t hear any communications between the two ships, the Viking and the Hableany, in which they would have talked,” Tolnay said. “I didn’t hear a warning. I didn’t hear any indications.”

what we can negotiate, and the limit is Mexican dignity,” said Mexico’s Ambassador to the United States, Martha Barcena. Barcena said Mexico has taken steps to offer migrants visas in Mexico, and “without Mexico’s efforts an additional quarter-million migrants could arrive at the U.S. border in 2019.” Barcena said Mexico has accepted 8,835 returned migrants as of May 29, and they are now waiting in the country for an asylum hearing in the U.S. courts. Mexican Economy Minister Graciela Marquez plans talks with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. Del-

egations led by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard will also meet in Washington. Marquez told reporters her team is assessing potential reprisals in case the diplomatic efforts do not bear fruit this week. “We will have to make a strategic plan to take into consideration many elements,” she said. Agriculture trade between the United States and Mexico was worth about $130 million a day last year, according to Mexican Secretary of Agriculture Victor Villalobos. A 5 percent U.S. tariff would decrease that trade by $3.8 million a day, he said. Trump has been here before, issuing high-stakes threats, only to back off come crunch time.

Sudan troops move to crush pro-democracy camp, killing 30 By BASSAM HATOUM and SAMY MAGDY Associated Press

KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudan’s ruling military moved to crush the protest movement opposing its grip on power as security forces overran the main sit-in site in the capital early Monday, unleashing furious volleys of gunfire, burning down tents and killing at least 30 people, witnesses and protest leaders said. With the assault, the generals signaled an end of their tolerance of the pro-democracy demonstrators, who for months have been camped outside the military’s headquarters as the two sides negotiated over who would run the country after the April ouster of longtime strongman Omar al-Bashir. After they succeeded in forcing the military to remove al-Bashir, the protesters had stayed in the streets, demanding the generals move to the background and allow civilians to lead the transition. The dispersal of the sit-in now risks escalating violence even further. Scattered by the bloody assault, protesters vowed to keep up

their campaign, suspending talks and calling for a general strike and civil disobedience. They urged nighttime marches across the country. “This is a critical point in our revolution. The military council has chosen escalation and confrontation,” said Mohammed Yousef al-Mustafa, a spokesman for the Sudanese Professionals’ Association, which has spearheaded the protests. “Those are criminals who should have been treated like al-Bashir,” he said. “Now the situation is either them or us, there is no other way.” The ruling military council said in a statement that security forces had been trying to clear an area adjacent to the protest camp when those it was chasing fled into the sit-in site, leading to the shooting deaths and injuries. But activists said the assault appeared to be a coordinated move, with other forces attacking similar sitins in Khartoum’s sister city of Omdurman and the eastern city of al-Qadarif. The attack came on the day before the Eid holiday that ends Ramadan, the holy month when Muslims fast during daylight hours.

Around the World SEOUL, South Korea — A senior North Korean official who had been reported to be sentenced to hard labor over the failed nuclear summit with Washington was shown in state media on Monday enjoying a concert near leader Kim Jong Un. North Korean publications on Monday showed Kim Yong Chol sitting five seats away from a clapping Kim Jong Un in the same row along with other top officials during a musical performance by the wives of Korean People’s Army officers. A report by Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency named Kim Yong Chol among the attendees of the event, which it said “impressively represented the ideological and mental features of KPA officers’ wives, who make every moment of their life honorable with ardent yearning for the leader.” Kim Yong Chol has been North Korea’s top nuclear negotiator and the counterpart of U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo since Kim Jong Un entered nuclear talks with the U.S. early last year. He traveled to Washington and met President Donald Trump twice before Kim’s two summits with Trump. Negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang have been at a standstill since February, when the second summit between Trump and Kim broke down over what the United States described as excessive North Korean demands for sanctions relief in exchange for only a partial surrender of its nuclear capabilities. Last week, South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo cited an unidentified source in reporting that Kim Yong Chol had been sentenced to hard labor and ideological re-education over the failed summit in Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital. The newspaper also reported that senior envoy Kim Hyok Chol, who was involved in pre-summit working-level talks with American officials, was executed with four other officials from the North’s Foreign Ministry for betraying Kim Jong Un after being won over by the United States. None of the allegedly executed officials have appeared in state media since the report. But as ever with North Korea, a country that closely guards its secrets, there are reasons to be cautious about the purported purge. South Korea’s government and media have a mixed record on tracking developments among North Korea’s ruling elite, made difficult by Pyongyang’s stringent control of information about them. When asked about Kim Yong Chol’s reappearance in public, Lee Sang-min, spokesman for Seoul’s Unification Ministry, which deals with inter-Korean affairs, said the ministry would not comment on a “specific internal event in North Korea or its participants.” Seoul’s spy service has said it could not confirm Friday’s report of a possible purge, while the presidential Blue House cautioned against “hasty judgments or comments.” Pompeo said after the report came out that he had seen it and the U.S. was “doing our best to check it out.” The report came at a delicate time for diplomacy as North Korea in past weeks has tested short-range missiles and issued belligerent rhetoric toward American and South Korean officials. Kim Jong Un declared in April that the Trump administration has until the end of the year to come up with mutually acceptable terms for a deal to salvage the nuclear negotiations. Experts say the North is using measured brinkmanship aimed at increasing pressure on Washington without actually causing the negotiations to collapse. North Korea has previously executed scapegoats to atone for high-profile political flops. But while many experts believe Kim Yong Chol was pushed to a back seat in negotiations with the United States, there were doubts about the report of a purge. Cheong Seong-Chang, an analyst at South Korea’s Sejong Institute, said Kim Yong Chol, who is also rumored to have health problems, wouldn’t have appeared in public this quickly if he was undergoing political re-education. Cheong said it wouldn’t make sense for Kim Jong Un to execute Kim Hyok Chol when Kim Yong Chol, the more senior official, would be seen as more responsible for the failure in Hanoi. “If Kim Jong Un sentences senior officials to hard labor, executes them, or puts them in political prison camps over the collapse of meetings, then no official would be willing to step up in external negotiations,” Cheong said. “It’s unlikely that Kim would issue extreme punishment unless he’s giving up on the talks with the United States.”

Swedish court rules not to extradite Assange for rape probe

Large numbers of troops from the military, police and Rapid Support Forces — an elite unit that during the anti-al-Bashir protests had vowed to protect the sit-in — moved in on the gathering after overnight rains, activists said. “They are surrounding the sit-in from all directions,” one activist, Amal al-Zein, said early in the assault, in which the forces burned tents and arrested those trying to flee. An Associated Press journalist heard gunshots and explosions, and saw buses and soldiers on foot

blocking roads leading to the protest site. In online videos, protesters were seen running and ducking as barrages of gunfire echoed. Smoke rose from tires set ablaze by the protesters. Demonstrators stood behind low barricades of bricks and dug-up pavement, and some threw stones before being driven back by walls of blue-clad security forces carrying sticks. One video showed police swarming around a protester sprawled on the ground, beating him with sticks. In another video, residents opened their doors to shelter those who ran.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should not be extradited to Sweden for a revived rape investigation, but should still be questioned in the case while he is imprisoned in Britain, a Swedish court ruled Monday, The ruling by the Uppsala District Court doesn’t mean the preliminary investigation must be abandoned, only that Assange doesn’t face extradition to Sweden any time soon. Eva-Marie Persson, Sweden’s deputy director of public prosecutions, said she has not decided whether to appeal. “I will also issue a European Investigation Order in order to interview Julian Assange,” Persson said, adding that she hasn’t picked a possible date for the questioning in England. Assange’s lawyer in Sweden, Per E. Samuelsson, said his client would “be happy, we are happy” to learn he won’t be extradited to Sweden. The 47-year-old Assange was evicted on April 11 from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he had been holed up with political asylum since 2012. He was immediately arrested by British police and is currently serving a 50-week sentence for jumping bail in 2012. He is also fighting extradition to the United States, which accuses him of violating the Espionage Act by publishing secret documents hacked from the Pentagon containing the names of confidential military and diplomatic sources. — The Associated Press

Business Congress launches Big Tech antitrust probe

SAN FRANCISCO — The federal government may be warming up its antitrust enforcement machine and pointing it at Big Tech. On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee announced a sweeping antitrust probe of unspecified technology companies. In a statement, it promised “a top-to-bottom review of the market power held by giant tech platforms,” which would be the first such Congress has ever undertaken. Earlier in the day, shares of Facebook, Google, Ama-

zon and Apple dropped significantly after published reports suggested that federal authorities are preparing for investigations into anticompetitive behavior by several of these technology giants. Facebook’s stock dropped 7.5%. Shares of Google parent Alphabet fell 6.1%. Amazon declined 4.6%. Apple, which has only been mentioned tangentially in these reports, fell 1%. Some of the underlying developments appear to represent a divvying up of turf between the Department of Justice’s antitrust cops and the Federal Trade Commis-

sion, which also holds antitrust authority. The Justice Department would reportedly hold authority over Google and Apple, which the FTC would take point on investigations of Facebook and Amazon. Over the weekend, multiple reports held that the Justice Department was preparing a competition investigation into Google . On Monday, the Wall Street Journal cited unnamed sources to report that the FTC has secured the rights to bring a possible investigation into Facebook . Investors may have reacted immediately to the uncertainty, but investigations — if any materialize — would take years. “I think (the speculation) is becoming more real, but antitrust is not a 24-hour event,” said Blair Levin, a fellow with the Brookings Institution who formerly served as chief of staff to a Federal Communications Commission chairman. It’s clear that the government is paying increasing attention to the actions of big tech companies, he said, but outcomes could take many different forms. Most likely, he said, could

be regulation of the companies’ various practices, including privacy policies. Pressure has been mounting on government to scrutinize the companies for some time, as backlash against tech companies’ reach and power grow in among consumers and politicians. The splitting up of jurisdictions between the FTC and DOJ could be simply a response to the pressure, said Sandeep Vaheesan, legal director for Open Markets Institute, which advocates against monopolies. “There’s still a long way to go before there is even an investigation,” he said. “And an investigation could be an extended process.” European authorities have covered ground U.S. regulators have barely considered — resulting in billions of dollars in fines for Google, and lesser fines for other companies. That’s one model the U.S. could follow, Levin said. But, of course, political motivations and laws differ in the U.S., and regulations haven’t nearly caught up with the fastmoving world of the tech industry.

Apple previews new software as it diversifies beyond iPhones By MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Apple, beset by falling iPhone sales, announced upcoming changes to its phone and computer software intended to highlight its increasing emphasis on digital services and to further position it as a fierce guardian of personal privacy. The revisions previewed Monday during a conference in San Jose, California, included a new feature that will let people log into apps and other services with an Apple ID instead of relying on similar sign-in options from Facebook and Google — two companies that mine data to sell advertising. Apple said it won’t collect tracking information about users from that service. As part of that feature, Apple will also let users mask their true email addresses when signing into apps and services. That will involve faux email addresses that automatically forward to the user’s personal email. When the next version of the iPhone software comes out this fall, Apple is also promising to give people the option of limiting the time apps can follow their locations and prevent tracking through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals. The revisions are part

of Apple’s ongoing attempts to differentiate itself from other technology giants, many of whom offer free services in exchange for personal data such as whereabouts and personal interests, which in turn fuels the advertising that generates most of their revenue. Apple, by contrast, makes virtually all its money selling devices and services, making it easier for CEO Tim Cook to embrace “privacy is a fundamental human right” as one of the company’s battle cries in an age of increasingly intrusive technology. Monday’s software showcase is an annual rite that Apple holds for thousands of programmers at the end of spring. This year, however, Apple is grappling with its biggest chal-

lenge since its visionary cofounder, Steve Jobs, died nearly eight years ago. Although still popular, the iPhone is no longer reliably driving Apple’s profits the way it has for the past decade. Sales have fallen sharply for the past two quarters, and could suffer another blow if China’s government targets the iPhone in retaliation for the trade war being waged by Another potential problem looms for Apple. Regulatory complaints and a consumer lawsuit both question whether Apple has been abusing the power of its iPhone app store to thwart competition and gouge smaller technology companies that rely on it to attract users and sell their services. Apple is trying to adapt by squeezing money from

digital services tailored for the more than 900 million iPhones currently in use. The transition includes a Netflix-like video service that Apple teased in March and thrust to center stage again Monday with a preview of one of the new series due out this fall, “For All Mankind.” But the iPhone remains Apple’s marquee attraction. The next version of its iPhone operating software, iOS 13, manages to offer both privacy features and an aesthetic “dark mode” for the screen — a feature already available on Macs. Apple executives also claimed that iOS 13 will open apps faster and features a new version of the Face ID system will unlock your phone 30 percent faster. The software also will introduce more artificial intelligence to enable Apple’s digital assistant, Sir, to speak more like a human and, if so assigned, automatically tackle even more tasks, such as reading incoming messages out loud as Apple tries to catch up to the digital assistants made by Google and Amazon. Apple’s improvements in artificial intelligence also hatched a new photomanagement tool that picks out the best photos taken on a certain day or in an entire month or year.

China data suggests trade war hit; tech group reverses stand

BEIJING — A report Monday on Chinese manufacturing suggested that Beijing’s trade war with the Trump administration is causing domestic economic damage. Surveys of manufacturers across Asia for May showed that business confidence has been shaken by the conflict over President Donald Trump’s demands that Beijing change its in-

dustrial planning strategy and find other ways to redress its perennially huge trade surpluses. But in a move that could ratchet back some tensions, the world’s largest association of technology professionals said it is lifting a research cooperation restriction it had imposed on employees of Chinese tech giant Huawei. A private survey, the Caixin manufacturing purchasing managers’ index, or PMI, for China held

steady at 50.2 in May, just above the 50 level that distinguishes between expansion and contraction. But business confidence slipped to its lowest level since the series began in April 2012. The official manufacturing PMI, issued Friday, sank to one of the lowest levels in three years. China showed no signs of budging over the Trump administration’s demands. It issued a report over the weekend saying it would not back down on “major issues of principle.” It said Beijing had kept its word through 11 rounds of trade negotiations and accused Washington of backtracking by introducing new tariffs and other conditions beyond what had been agreed to. Most of Trump’s ire over trade has been directed at China, given its lion-sized importance to global manufacturing and its growing technological prowess. But last week the president heaped more uncertainty on global financial markets and investors by

saying he would impose 5% tariffs on Mexican imports starting June 10 if the Mexicans don’t stop the surge of Central American migrants across the southern U.S. border. That would be a blow to some manufacturers that use Mexico as production bases, such as automakers. Meanwhile, the world’s largest grouping of technology professionals, IEEE, reversed itself on a restriction that Huawei employees no longer be permitted to peer review or edit articles published in its journals. The restriction had prompted an angry backlash among Chinese members of the 420,000-member organization, with some declaring they would quit. Huawei has borne the brunt of U.S. castigation in the U.S.-China trade dispute as an alleged national security risk, with the U.S. Commerce Department blacklisting it in mid-May , effectively barring U.S. firm from selling or transferring technology to it.

US stock indexes end mixed; Nasdaq slumps on big tech slide Major U.S. stock indexes ended mostly lower Monday amid signs that the Trump administration is laying the groundwork to ratchet up scrutiny on some of the market’s biggest names: Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Google. Google’s parent Alphabet lost 6.1% and Facebook sank 7.5%. Apple shed 1% on the day that the iPhone seller kicked off its annual software showcase. Amazon fell 4.6%. The four have a combined market value of nearly $3 trillion, and their losses helped tilt the S&P 500 lower on a day when there were actually more gainers than losers in the stock market. Investors were reacting to media reports suggesting that government regulators are setting the stage for potential antitrust probes into each of the four technology giants. The sell-off knocked the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index into a correction, Wall Street speak for a drop of 10% or more from a peak. The Nasdaq hit its most recent all-time high early last month, before the trade dispute between the U.S. and China escalated, setting off a monthlong slide. “We do have this trade uncertainty, and we now have some uncertainty with tech companies and government regulations,” said Karyn Cavanaugh, senior markets strategist at Voya Investment Management. “These are the go-to big names, and if they’re vulnerable, that just makes investors a little bit nervous.” The S&P 500 index fell 7.61 points, or 0.3%, to 2,744.45. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 4.74 points, or less than 0.1%, to 24,819.78. The Nasdaq composite lost 120.13 points, or 1.6%, to 7,333.02. It’s now down 10.2% from its all-time high set May 3. The Russell 2000 index of small companies rose 4.50 points, or 0.3%, to 1,469.98. Major stock indexes in Europe closed broadly higher. U.S. stock indexes briefly headed higher, with technology companies among the big gainers, in what appeared to be a budding rebound for the market after it closed out May with its first monthly decline this year. But the slight gains evaporated as investors weighed the implications of a possible wave of heightened scrutiny on the market’s biggest technology companies. Alphabet tumbled as media reports suggested it faces an antitrust investigation by the Justice Department. The company has faced a series of European regulatory investigations into its practices. In one instance last year, it was fined $5 billion by European regulators over contracts dealing with smartphone makers and the search engine’s apps. The speculation over the latest investigation comes on top of a tough weekend for the company when high levels of network congestion caused outages for some of its services, including YouTube and Google Cloud. Reports also suggested the Justice Department would take the lead on any probe into Apple, while any antitrust investigations into Amazon and Facebook would come from the Federal Trade Commission. Reports say consumer groups and vendors have complained that Amazon is unfairly edging out competition as it expands its business and offerings. Declines by the big tech companies depressed their sectors for much of the day. Microsoft dropped 3.1% and Twitter slid 5.5%. The losses outweighed gains in household goods makers, banks and elsewhere in the market. Campbell Soup rose 2.9% and American International Group added 3.2%. The day of indecisive trading came amid a wave of volatility in the market as investors wrestle with the uncertainty of the U.S. and its growing use of tariffs in international trade disputes. Investors spent the bulk of May fleeing to safer holdings as a global trade war flared up. China and the U.S. have been escalating their trade dispute with more tariffs on each other’s goods while also threatening to ban technology and resource sales. The U.S. expanded its trade war and threatened to impose tariffs on Mexican goods starting June 10 because of an immigration dispute. All of these moves have rattled investors’ confidence in prospects for global economic growth. Bank of America Merrill Lynch lowered its earnings estimates for companies in the S&P 500, citing trade tensions. Analysts have also warned that uncertainty over trade deals will crimp business confidence and keep companies from investing internationally. “Things are likely to get worse before they get better,” said a Bank of America Merrill Lynch report. The investment bank is recommending more caution from investors as trade disputes play out. Investors have already been heading to less-risky holdings, including utility stocks and bonds, since the trade dispute with China sharply escalated in May. Companies in the S&P 500 performed better than expected in the first quarter, posting less than a half-percentage point contraction in profit, according to Factset. But, the trade war continues hanging over the current quarter, with analysts expecting a 2% contraction in corporate profit. Bond prices climbed again Monday, pulling the yield on the 10-year Treasury note down to 2.07% from 2.14% late Friday. News of deals, confirmed and denied, drove movement for several stocks. Cypress Semiconductor surged 23.8% on the announcement that German chipmaker Infineon is buying the company for more than $10 billion in cash. Cypress Semiconductors specializes in wireless and USB technology and Infineon said the deal with create the eighth biggest chipmaker in the world and a leading supplier of chips to the automotive sector. Centene slid 10.3% after Humana declined to make a buyout proposal. Both insurance companies focus heavily on government-sponsored plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Humana made clear that it is not seeking Centene in a rare filing aimed at quashing investor speculation. Humana shares rose 2.2%. El Paso Electric jumped 13.5% after getting a $2.78 billion buyout offer from a private equity fund affiliated with J.P. Morgan. Energy futures closed broadly lower Monday. Benchmark U.S. crude slid 0.5% to settle at $53.25 a barrel. Brent crude oil, the international standard, closed 1.1% lower at $61.28 per barrel. — The Associated Press

Anisimova gains quarters By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

PARIS — To Amanda Anisimova, it seems “like, forever ago” that she was playing in the French Open main draw for the first time. For the record: It’s been all of two years. Ah, to be young again. Still only 17, and ranked 51st, the precocious American with the quick-strike strokes and self-described “effortless shots” became the first player born in the 2000s to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal, overwhelming Aliona Bolsova of Spain 6-3, 6-0 at Roland Garros on Monday and earning the right to face defending champion Simona Halep next. Anisimova, born in New Jersey and based in Florida, is the youngest U.S. player to get to the round of eight in Paris since Jennifer Capriati in 1993, the youngest from any country since 2006. Not that she’s keeping track, mind you. “I have no idea about who did what at what age. People tell me, and then I just forget after a second. I don’t really care about it too much,” said Anisimova, the words flying out of her mouth with the same sort of pace that tennis balls zoom off her racket. “I’m in the present and I want to do good and I hope for good results, but I don’t really think about how old I am.” Now she will take on the 27-year-old Halep, the No. 3 seed, who dispatched another teenager, Iga Swiatek of Poland, by a 6-1, 6-0 score Monday. When someone asked

about going from an 18-year-old opponent in Swiatek to Anisimova, Halep’s initial reply was: “I feel old.” “To play against someone 10 years younger than me, that’s not easy. But I feel stronger on court,” she went on to say. “They’re young. They have nothing to lose. So every match is tough.” Halep is one of only two women left in the draw who already own a major title. The other quarterfinal matchup on her half is No. 8 Ash Barty of Australia against No. 14 Madison Keys of the U.S. In Tuesday’s quarterfinals on the other half of the bracket, 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens meets No. 26 Johanna Konta of Britain, and No. 31 Petra Martic of Croatia faces 19-year-old Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic. In the men’s quarterfinals, it’ll be No. 3 Roger Federer vs. No. 24 Stan Wawrinka, and No. 2 Rafael Nadal vs. No. 7 Kei Nishikori on Tuesday, followed by No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 5 Alexander Zverev, and No. 4 Dominic Thiem vs. No. 10 Karen Khachanov on Wednesday. Stephens, the runner-up to Halep in Paris a year ago, joins Keys and Anisimova to give the United States a trio of French Open quarterfinalists for the first time since Capriati and the two Williams sisters made it that far in 2004. If Halep’s first attempt to defend a Grand Slam trophy got off to a shaky start with See SET, page A9

Blues top Bruins, tie series By STEPHEN WHYNO AP Hockey Writer

ST. LOUIS — Just when the St. Louis Blues had the Boston Bruins on their heels and chasing the game, they gave up a goal and the roar went right out of the building. The Blues could have let the talented Bruins seize the moment, let things get away from them on home ice. Again. They didn’t. The team that was mired in last place in the NHL in January, that suffered from missed calls in the playoffs and slogged through some tough losses instead showed the resolve of a championship contender and is now two victories away from lifting the Stanley Cup. Ryan O’Reilly scored the opening goal 43 seconds in and the winner with 9:22 left, and he and the Blues beat the Blues thrived in a chaotic Game 4

of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night to beat the Bruins 4-2 and tie this bruising series at two games apiece. “We knew what we had to do tonight to be a better team,” coach Craig Berube said. “We were relentless tonight. We didn’t stop for 60 minutes.” Game 5 is Thursday night in Boston. This one was a back-and-forth thriller, with Boston’s Tuukka Rask and St. Louis’ Jordan Binnington each giving up tons of rebounds for frantic scoring chances and scrums. Vladimir Tarasenko scored his 11th goal of the playoffs, and Binnington made 21 saves to improve to 7-2 in the postseason after a loss. Even more impressive was the rookie’s bounce-back from being pulled in Game 3 for the first time in his NHL career. Rask allowed three goals on 37 shots and was on the receiving end of several Blues onslaughts.

“He spit some rebounds out,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said of Rask. “But I don’t have an issue with his rebound control.” Charlie Coyle scored for the third consecutive game, and Brandon Carlo had a short-handed goal for Boston, but their stars were quiet again and a big problem may be brewing: Boston captain Zdeno Chara was knocked out of the game by a puck to the mouth. Chara was allowed to sit on the bench, but it’s uncertain if he’ll be able to play in Game 5 when the Bruins could be without two of their top six defensemen. O’Reilly ended an eight-game goal drought by cashing in two rebounds off Rask for his first multi-goal game since November. After losing 15 of his 23 faceoffs in a tough Game 3, O’Reilly was dominant all over the ice. “He’s been our best player all year and he got rewarded,” winger Patrick See ICE, page A9

Track athletes Buehler pitches Dodgers past Arizona finish season at Brian Young By The Associated Press

By JEFF HELMINIAK Peninsula Clarion

Area track and field athletes completed their season at the Brian Young Invitational on Friday and Saturday at West Anchorage High School. Galen Brantley III of Soldotna and Coral Petrosius of Seward picked up wins. Brantley III threw the shot put 50 feet, 3.25 inches, for his victory, while Soldotna’s Cody Nye was second at 49—4.75. In the discus, Brantley III was second at 136—6, while Cody Nye was fourth at 130—9. Petrosius won the discus with 130—1, while Nikiski’s Kaitlyn Johnson was second at 123— 3. Petrosius also was second in the 300-meter hurdles at 48.38 seconds, while Johnson also was fourth in the shot put at 32—3.25. Connor Spanos of Seward picked up a third in the 400 at 52.51, while Soldotna’s Ben Booth was sixth in the 100 at 11.49 and ninth in the 200 at 23.76. Kenai’s Jaycie Calvert was sixth in the 1,600 at 5:20.11 and second in the 3,200 at 11:30.99. Soldotna’s Sophie Thomas was fifth in the 100 hurdles at 17.14.

Semenya wins ruling By GERALD IMRAY AP Sports Writer

Caster Semenya won an interim ruling in her battle against the IAAF when the Swiss supreme court ordered athletics’ governing body to suspend its testosterone regulations on Monday, raising the prospect of her competing at the world championships without having to take hormone suppressing medication. The decision temporarily lifts the contentious rules, at least until the IAAF responds with arguments to the supreme court, known as the Swiss Federal Tribunal, to restore them. The IAAF has until June 25 to do that. Should the IAAF fail to overturn the ruling, the regulations will remain suspended until Semenya’s full appeal is heard by a panel of Swiss federal judges. That could take up to a year or more, meaning the 28-year-old South African might be cleared to run unrestricted in her favored event in remaining Diamond League meetings and the worlds in Doha, Qatar, in September and October.

PHOENIX — Walker Buehler pitched eight innings of two-hit ball and Corey Seager hit a three-run homer as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondback 3-1 Monday in the opener of a three-game series.

Warriors face health challenges in Game 3 By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors feel good mentally, and they are certainly in better shape physically than the Golden State Warriors. The Raptors know they have outplayed Golden State for perhaps 90 of the 96 minutes of the NBA Finals, and they almost overcame the one brutal stretch where they didn’t. Despite being blanked for nearly half the third quarter of Game 2, the Raptors were within two points in the final seconds. Golden State held on to win 109-104, tying the series that moves to Oracle Arena for Games 3 and 4. The Raptors lost the game and home-court advantage, but not any of their belief that they can win the series. “We fought back and we

know that going towards Game 3 we’ve got to play a lot better, and it’s going to be even harder on the road,” Raptors guard Fred VanVleet said, “but we’re capable and we know what we bring to the table.” The Warriors aren’t quite sure, at least as it relates to their health. They are hoping Kevin Durant is close to returning from a sevengame absence with a strained right calf, and that Klay Thompson can play after he limped off the court early in the fourth quarter Sunday. The Warriors said Thompson had an MRI exam Monday that indicated a mild left hamstring strain and that he would be listed as questionable for Game 3. They will be without Kevon Looney, who has been their best center in the postseason. He will be out indefinitely because of a non-displaced cartilage fracture on the right side of his ribcage that

he sustained in Game 2. So the Warriors were in no condition to dance their way back across the border in this first NBA Finals to be played outside the U.S. — in fact, DeMarcus Cousins posted an Instagram picture of him and Andre Iguodala being moved through the airport in wheelchairs. But they wouldn’t have been too excited even in peak condition. They’ve played in so many series during their run to five straight finals that they understand better than anyone how momentum works. “It swings so much. They’ve gone through it, too, when they were down 0-2 last series and won four straight games,” Iguodala said. “We won two games at home and went to Houston and lost two and everyone thought the world was ending, especially with our team. Certain things that we pick

up along the way, that experience will help us with emotional swings from game to game in this series.” Iguodala hit the clinching 3-pointer after the Raptors had clawed their way within two points by scoring 10 straight in the final minutes. It certainly seemed it would be easier for the Warriors after their 18-0 run to start the third quarter, an NBA Finals record to begin a half, had put them in control. Toronto stayed in it thanks to Kawhi Leonard, who finished with 34 points and 14 rebounds, and an assault on the backboards in which they outscored the Warriors 23-0 in second-chance points. It might take even more than that to get a game at Oracle Arena, where the two-time defending champions will play Wednesday for the first time in nearly three weeks. Golden State

hasn’t played a home game since Game 2 of the Western Conference finals against Portland on May 16. “The only thing that matters is the four. Four wins,” Leonard said. “Once you get it, two wins, three wins, it does not matter. Just take one game at a time and just play through the adversity.” That’s what the Warriors did in Game 2, when they turned to all the tricks they’ve learned and pulled a rabbit out of their hats. Now they have to hope they won’t run out of rabbits. “Obviously, we have the star power, but when you bring guys off the bench, that goes a long way,” backup guard Quinn Cook said. “I don’t think they’ll get tired for the finals. There are two days between games. They’ll be back hungry on Wednesday, just like us. We just have to keep being better.”

‘Strength in numbers’ more than a slogan for Warriors

he mantra for Golden State during Steve Kerr’s five seasons with the Warriors has been “Strength in Numbers.” It’s more than a marketing slogan. It’s a catchy phrase on shirts, for sure, and it’s emblazoned plenty of places for all to see — even on one shoulder of Stephen Curry’s gray sweat suit, with the NBA Finals logo on the other side. But it’s hard to imagine a time where it means more to the Warriors than right now, when the only thing being tested more than their mettle is their depth. The champions are heading home off a win ailing, but not trailing. Whether it was DeMarcus Cousins playing 28 minutes, or Quinn Cook tying a playoff career-high with three 3-pointers, or all 13 Warriors getting into the game — some of them for only four seconds, but in nonetheless — the two-time defending NBA champions found a way. Game 2 is in the books. Golden State 109, Toronto 104. Series tied at 1-1. Off to Oracle Arena in Oakland, California for Game 3 on Wednesday night. “When you get to this stage, our DNA shows up,” Curry said. “It’s not just something you just throw out there to have nice shirts and give out to the crowd at Oracle and have all this marketing stuff. It’s literally how we approach every day from training camp to June.

Orioles take Rutschman with top pick SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) — Adley Rutschman heard the chatter for months that he’d be the No. 1 pick in the Major League Baseball draft. The switch-hitting Oregon State catcher just kept slugging at the plate and throwing out would-be basestealers all season from behind it — making it an easy call for the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night. “It’s unbelievable,” Rutschman said from Goss Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon, shortly after becoming the top selection. “Just to look back on how I was as a kid and seeing what my expectations were, how far I’ve come from there, it’s special.”

a pair of three-setters, she is really rounding into form now. She has ceded a total of four games over the past two rounds. “You have to enjoy the moment,” Halep said. The key to her success has been remarkable returning: She has won 70% of her opponents’ service games, 30 of 43, which not only leads the tournament but

Maroon said of O’Reilly. Hockey Hall of Famer and Blues alum Brett Hull screamed at the top of his lungs into the microphone to pump up the crowd seconds before puck drop, “Are you ready? Let’s Go Blues!” They were ready, all right, and it started with O’Reilly’s goal that was the Blues’ sixth in the opening two minutes. They have done that now in all four rounds and are 6-0 when jumping out to a 1-0 lead in a game’s first 20 minutes. But this victory was all

The announcement by Commissioner Rob Manfred at MLB Network studios marked the second time the Orioles led off the draft — they took LSU pitcher Ben McDonald in 1989. “I met with all the teams over the course of the year and knew the Orioles were going to be the first overall,” said Rutschman, a 40th-round pick by Seattle three years ago. “As the year progressed and went along, it looked like it was a possibility more and more. It just worked out that way.” With the No. 2 choice, the Kansas City Royals grabbed Texas high

school shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., son of former big league pitcher Bobby Witt. The younger Witt has draft-day bragging rights on his father, who won 142 games over 16 seasons after being selected No. 3 overall by Texas in 1985. “Now I’ve got him beat,” Bobby Witt Jr. said on MLB Network. The rebuilding Orioles had the No. 1 pick after plummeting to the worst record in the majors last season. They’re at the bottom of the standings again with an 18-41 start — but getting Rutschman provides hope for a franchise that finished last in the AL East the past two years.

reads as if it’s a misprint. On the other hand, her own serving has been an issue, tied for 49th in the 128-player draw at a 65% hold rate. The 5-foot-11 (1.80-meter) Anisimova, meanwhile, takes balls early, not waiting for a full bounce, and uses her strong shots to dictate points and wrong-foot her opponents. “She just showed up,” said Bolsova, a qualifier ranked 137th. “She took the initiative.” Before heading out for

their match, Anisimova watched Halep play and took notes. “I was, like, ‘Oh, my God, her backhand down the line is so good and she was taking her time,” Anisimova said, “and then I think I was mimicking it in my match.” To Anisimova, this feels as if it’s the next natural step in what’s been a fast progression. This is only her fourth Grand Slam appearance — she reached the fourth round at the Australian Open in January.

She was the 2016 junior runner-up in Paris, then the 2017 junior champion at the U.S. Open. Earlier that season, at age 15, she picked up a U.S. Tennis Association wild card into the French Open for her debut at a major. “Even though I was in the main draw, I was still in the qualifying locker room. I didn’t even know they had a locker room here,” she said Monday. “I’m aware of that now.” If she keeps playing like this, the world will be aware of her very shortly.

about responding well to yet another momentum swing that came on special teams: The Blues killed off a Bruins power play and then hemmed Boston in its own end for more than three minutes. While St. Louis cycled the puck in the offensive zone and changed several forward lines and defensive pairings, Boston defenders were gassed and Connor Clifton took a penalty for an illegal check to the head of Tarasenko. Twenty-six seconds into the Blues power play, however, the Bruins inexplicably got numbers on a rush and Carlo scored shorthanded to tie it again. It was the fourth

shorthanded goal St. Louis has allowed in the playoffs to only 13 power-play goals — but St. Louis didn’t fold. “I’ve said it all playoffs: Things don’t really seem to faze us,” said captain Alex Pietrangelo, who assisted on O’Reilly’s goals. Another rebound off Rask paved the way for O’Reilly’s go-ahead goal. With St. Louis leading, fans could happily sing John Denver’s “Country Roads” at the under 6-minute timeout, and Brayden Schenn sealed it with an empty-net goal with 1:29 left. “It’s anyone’s game now,” Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist said. When the final horn

sounded, they played Laura Branigan’s “Gloria” to celebrate the Blues’ first-ever home victory in the Stanley Cup Final. “Every year you keep hearing, let’s go to finals, let’s go win the Cup,” Tarsaenko said. “Even after last year, you hear it all summer. People start believing in us and we feel it.” NOTES: Sundqvist returned from a one-game suspension for boarding Bruins D Matt Grzelcyk, who missed his second game in a row. Sanford remained in the lineup, and Robby Fabbri was a healthy scratch. ... Dunn replaced D Robert Bortuzzo in the St. Louis lineup.

head home after a split in Toronto. There’s no guarantee that Durant comes back for Game 3. Thompson told Kerr that he’d be ready to play, but that’s hardly assured either. Cousins just played 28 minutes after playing eight minutes, total, in seven weeks while recovering from a quad tear. Kevon Looney, who’s been mostly excellent for Golden State in these playoffs, might be out with the chest or shoulder issue that sidelined him during Game 2 — the Warriors said it was a chest contusion, while Looney was clearly grabbing at his shoulder in pain. “We’ve got to go home and protect our home floor,” Kerr said. “And we’ll see about all the injuries.” Game 2 was the fifth consecutive game where the Warriors got down by at least 10 points at some time in the game. It was the fourth time they recovered and won. They keep getting themselves into messes, and they usually get out of them. It’s not ideal. But if they must do this the hard way, that seems to be just fine with them. Kerr’s mantra is getting heeded. “We need three more wins and we need it to keep going,” Curry said. “But that’s a part of who we are in our DNA. It’s not just what we say.”

Today in History Today is Tuesday, June 4, the 155th day of 2019. There are 210 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 4, 1942, the World War II Battle of Midway began, resulting in a decisive American victory against Japan and marking the turning point of the war in the Pacific. On this date: In 1812, the Louisiana Territory was renamed the Missouri Territory, to avoid confusion with the recently admitted state of Louisiana. The U.S. House of Representatives approved, 79-49, a declaration of war against Britain. In 1919, Congress approved the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing citizens the right to vote regardless of their gender, and sent it to the states for ratification. In 1939, the German ocean liner MS St. Louis, carrying more than 900 Jewish refugees from Germany, was turned away from the Florida coast by U.S. officials. In 1940, during World War II, the Allied military evacuation of some 338,000 troops from Dunkirk, France, ended. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.” In 1943, the president of Argentina, Ramon Castillo, was overthrown in a military coup. In 1944, U-505, a German submarine, was captured by a U.S. Navy task group in the south Atlantic; it was the first such capture of an enemy vessel at sea by the U.S. Navy since the War of 1812. The U.S. Fifth Army began liberating Rome. In 1954, French Premier Joseph Laniel and Vietnamese Premier Buu Loc signed treaties in Paris according “complete independence” to Vietnam. In 1986, Jonathan Jay Pollard, a former U.S. Navy intelligence analyst, pleaded guilty in Washington to conspiring to deliver information related to the national defense to Israel. (Pollard, sentenced to life in prison, was released on parole on Nov. 20, 2015.) In 1990, Dr. Jack Kevorkian carried out his first publicly assisted suicide, helping Janet Adkins, a 54-year-old Alzheimer’s patient from Portland, Oregon, end her life in Oakland County, Michigan. In 1998, a federal judge sentenced Terry Nichols to life in prison for his role in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. In 2000, President Bill Clinton and Russian President Putin (POO’-tihn) ended their summit by conceding differences on missile defense, agreeing to dispose of weapons-grade plutonium and pledging early warning of missile and space launches. In 2003, Martha Stewart stepped down as head of her media empire, hours after federal prosecutors in New York charged her with obstruction of justice, conspiracy, securities fraud and lying to investigators. (Stewart was later convicted of lying about why she’d sold her shares of ImClone Systems stock in 2001, just before the stock price plunged.) Ten years ago: Speaking at Cairo University, President Barack Obama called for a “new beginning between the United States and Muslims” and said together, they could confront violent extremism across the globe. Actor David Carradine, 72, was found dead in a Bangkok, Thailand, hotel room. Five years ago: On the second day of a visit to Poland, President Barack Obama held up the nation as a guidepost for neighboring Ukraine as it sought to fend off a pro-Russian insurgency; later that same day, in Brussels, Obama attended a meeting of the Group of Seven major industrial nations, with the pointed exclusion of Russia from the gathering. A gunman fatally wounded three Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers and wounded two others in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. (Justin Bourque was convicted of the shootings and sentenced to life in prison.) Baseball player, manager and coach Don Zimmer, 83, died in Dunedin, Florida. One year ago: President Donald Trump claimed that he had an “absolute right” to pardon himself, but that it wouldn’t be necessary because had had “done nothing wrong;” Trump also tweeted that the Justice Department’s appointment of a special counsel in the Russia probe was “totally unconstitutional.” The Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Colorado baker who wouldn’t make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, but it was a limited decision that didn’t address the larger issue of whether a business can invoke religious objections to refuse service to gay and lesbian people. Howard Schultz announced that he was stepping down as executive chairman of Starbucks, and said public service may be in his future. Saudi Arabia issued its first driver’s licenses to women as the kingdom prepared to lift the world’s only ban on women driving.

Escalating violence is signal for wife to leave relationship or visit thehotline.org and a counselor there will direct you. DEAR ABBY: My 5-year-old daughter, “Maude,” is afraid of large dogs. In the past, my husband has publicly scolded her when she cowered away from them. Abigail Van Buren A friend of our family has a dog that Maude is especially hesitant around, and my daughter recently confided that she no longer wants to go over to this friend’s house because of it. She made me promise not to tell her father why. When I told him privately about our conversation, he rolled his eyes and accused our daughter of having a “weak” mentality. Is he being unreasonable or is it just me? -- PHRUSTRATED IN PHILLY DEAR PHRUSTRATED: Your daughter doesn’t have a “weak mentality.” She’s afraid of dogs, and possibly with good reason.

want later. Give yourself time to rethink a decision, as your reading this a.m. might point to some different ideas. A meeting proves to be more important than you thought. Listen to what others share. Tonight: Where the action is. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. Hopefully the conversation will occur in the morning, when you are most likely to communicate well. The afternoon could be unusually busy. You might need to take a stand. Tonight: A must appearance. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You are personality-plus and can make your way through any problem today, for better or worse. Be logical with a close associate, yet brainstorm and question ideas in the late afternoon. Listen to the feedback you get. Do not discard what others say without thought. Tonight: Be a duo. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Break past barriers, recognizing what you need. You will make your choices accordingly. You could get an earful from a close friend. Respond openly. Explain where you are coming from. Tonight: With your best friend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You will express your thoughts but only after you get enough done to relax and chat. Another person’s ideas have the same end result as yours, but the process will take a different path. Tonight: Defer to a loved one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Express your innate friskiness and need to be with others. You will feel much better if you do. In a sense, you revive your inner child. Deal with a serious matter later in the day. Tonight: Let the fun begin. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You could feel uptight as you begin your day. You could want to sleep in or take some extra time just for you. You probably will do just that. An unusual, creative conversation could mark the afternoon. You will have a lot to think about. Tonight: Ever playful. BORN TODAY Actress Angelina Jolie (1975), author/ sex therapist Ruth Westheimer (1928), comedian Russell Brand (1975)

DO EMOJIS WORK? Dear Heloise: I use EMOJIS when I text and email my friends, but are emojis acceptable at any time in business writing? -- Hunter in Texas Hunter, it’s important to gauge the climate of your office and the tone of your co-workers, bosses and clients. An emoji, sometimes called an “emoticon,” is a tiny cartoon picture used to convey a feeling or emotion. There are hundreds of emojis out there; a simple smiley face is a popular emoji. Experts agree: No emojis on the first few emails, instant messages, interoffice bulletin boards or texts to the boss or client. Once you establish a working relationship with someone, a “Have a nice weekend” with a smiley face to close out an email might be OK. Use emojis in your work-related writings sparingly. You don’t want to appear too immature, casual, unprofessional or silly. -- Heloise LETTER OF LAUGHTER Dear Heloise: What’s with these micro mini bags that are popular now? They barely hold a lipstick or a debit card, and certainly not a phone! -- Mary H. in Ohio Mary, it’s a trend. These micro bags (also called “nanosized”) go with the current trend of downsizing to a simpler, less fussy lifestyle. Some of these bags can cost a pretty penny; perhaps saving this style for a romantic dinner is best! -- Heloise

ages the public to spend time socializing with the dogs and cats. It may help to get her past her aversion. It has helped other children, and it’s also good for the animals. Give it a try and let me know what happens. DEAR ABBY: I am a 49-year-old divorcee. A younger man (31) at work is showing an interest in me. We have talked several times about seeing each other outside of work. Also he is African American. I would like to go out with him, but I’m not sure how my family and friends would react. What do you think? -- BETWIXT AND BETWEEN DEAR BETWIXT: What are you concerned about? Is it that you would be dating a younger man, one of a different race or that he’s a co-worker? If it’s the latter, and things don’t work out, it could be dicey. However, if at this stage of your life you still need approval from friends and family about dating someone you like, it appears you are not ready for a relationship.

DEAR ABBY: My husband has always had anger issues. Recently, they have progressed from targeting inanimate objects to targeting me. A few weeks ago, when he got upset, he punched the navigation screen in my car out. Then he proceeded to grab my hair and slammed my head into the car window (it didn’t break, but my head hurt for more than a week). He apologized later, but I can’t forgive him. Maybe I never will. What’s worse, I haven’t been able to bring myself to leave and don’t really know how to. Is this behavior a deal breaker? -- STUCK IN MINNESOTA DEAR STUCK: Yes, this is absolutely a deal breaker. Do not minimize what he did to you. I’m sorry you didn’t go to the emergency room after it happened. Each time your husband attacks will be worse -- increasingly so -- until he maims or kills you. For your safety you MUST get out of there, and the sooner the better. For directions on how to safely make your exit, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

About 140 dogs removed from Southern California home The Associated Press

ORANGE, Calif. — In what may be a nightmarish case of dog breeding gone bad, about 140 dogs have been removed from a multimillion-dollar home in a gated Southern California community and the owners cited for animal cruelty, authorities said. The dogs, mostly Shih Tzus and Maltese poodles, were rescued Thursday from a home in the Orange

County community. Police said conditions in the home were filthy and some dogs were covered in their own waste. Others reportedly had patches of fur missing. Authorities who took the dogs away wore white protective suits and filter masks. “There was very little furniture inside of that residence, and there was dog excrement, urine all over, inside, on the floor,”

police Sgt. Phil McMullen told KCBS-TV. “It appeared to be unlivable. The smell was unbearable for me. I’m surprised how people can live in that situation.” The home was redtagged by officials who said it is unlivable until it is cleaned up. The homeowners were given misdemeanor citations for animal cruelty but an investigation continued and they could face felony

“We have many animal lovers at the firm who are troubled by the reported conditions and hope that all the rescued dogs are safe and healthy,” the statement read, according to the television station. Two San Clemente women arranged donations of 500 pounds of food and a lot of other supplies that they crammed into two SUVs and took to the shelter.

“We were fortunate that over the last week, we had over 170 adoptions ... which made some room, but obviously now we’re back at capacity,” Novillo said. The dogs will be treated and may be available for adoption later. One of the homeowners is an attorney with a Cerritos law firm which said in a statement that he was told not to come to work, KABC-TV reported .

charges, police said. The dogs were taken to the Orange County Animal Care shelter. “It’s an incredible feat to be able to bring everybody in and get them all evaluated medically, get them all treated and, of course, housing them and caring for them,” the agency’s Jessica Novillo told KABC-TV. The sheer number of animals has crowded the facility.

Jessie

Meet Tank This boy has a sad story and all he wants is a new home where he will never have to be stuck on the end of a chain again. He can be submissive at times and he might be better in a home with no children. For the person living away from people he is going to be a great dog. He just gets overwhelmed and then he can act out. He really just wants someone to himself.
