Explosion, fire sink commercial fishing boat ANCHORAGE — An explosion at a dock in Whittier spread fire to a nearby fishing boat that then sank, leaving one person aboard missing, the U.S. Coast Guard said Monday. Crews were using a boat and helicopter to scour the ocean around the dock for the missing person, the Coast Guard said in a statement. According to officials, the explosion happened on a fixed barge and fire then spread to the pier and the 99-foot commercial fishing vessel. Initial reports were that two people were aboard the fishing vessel at the time. But Whittier police told the Coast Guard that one of the two was on a different boat and is safe. The Coast Guard established a 100-yard safety zone to keep other boats away from the area. The fishing boat, which had the capacity to carry about 5,500 gallons of fuel, sank in 85 feet of water, the Coast Guard said. A salvage crew has been hired by the vessel’s owner.

Krill, mussels added to list of odd marine deaths ANCHORAGE — Residents of two northwest Alaska villages say large numbers of dead mussels and shrimp-like krill have washed up on their shores. The discoveries are contributing to fears of record warm waters causing ecosystem changes, including unusual wildlife deaths, The Anchorage Daily News reported Saturday. Scientists are working to pinpoint what has caused a string of unusual mortality events this season and whether the deaths are related. Lucy Oquilluk, a tribal president in the village of Teller, estimated there were 2 million dead mussels in a channel on the Seward Peninsula that she and others found in late June. “It’s something we never imagined,” she said. High school teacher Ken Stenek said he found millions of dead krill stretching for several miles along beaches near the village of Shishmaref. Seabirds and seals also have died along Alaska’s shores recently. In southern Alaska waters, scientists also have confirmed 15 gray whale deaths. — Associated Press

‘Override! Override! Override!’

Hundreds turn out to protest Dunleavy’s vetoes. By Peter Segall Juneau Empire

Union members, students, teachers, community activists and all manner of concerned citizens gathered in front of the Alaska Capitol at noon Monday. The rally was organized to protest the proposed $400 million in cuts made to government programs by Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s vetoes of line items in the state budget. Protesters also called on state legislators to override at least some of those cuts. “This is not where I want to be today,” said Emily Wall, professor of English at the University of Alaska Southeast. “But we’re all here fighting for our university. I’m very concerned about all the education cuts,” she said. The rally was opened by drumming

and singing by members of the Yees Ku Oo Dancers, a multicultural group with members from various backgrounds. The song, sung in the Tsimshian language, was written by troupe member Nancy Barnes, who performed at the rally. “It’s just a happy song,” Barnes said. “We wanted to start out that way. To get everybody in the mood.” Juneau Mayor Beth Weldon was the first to speak. “We are concerned as to how the governor’s vetoes will impact our state,” she said. “We respectfully ask (legislators) to override the vetoes.” Many of the speakers noted that difficult decisions had to be made concerning the state budget, but that such deep and extensive cuts would cripple the state for generations. “We will continue to suffer job loss and outward migration if these vetoes See VETOES, Page A3

Manic Monday: Special session starts By Ben Hohenstatt Juneau Empire

Some days, state government moves slowly, but Monday was not one of those days. The majority of lawmakers in both the House of Representatives and Senate convened at 1 p.m. Monday in Juneau for a special session, and within 90 minutes there was a new Senate Majority Leader, an Alaska Permanent Fund dividend bill was given a hearing, and a time and date were set for a joint session for veto overrides — 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. “At this point, we’re looking at a single override vote,” said Senate President Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, during a sit-down with reporters in her office. “We’ll see how that comes out. It will be an opportunity for legislators to actually show to constituents where their support is.” Giessel and House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, who joined Giessel in speaking to the press, each said it’s not totally clear what level of support exists for an override of Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s more than $400 million in budget vetoes. However, both Edgmon and Giessel See session, Page A2

Center brings in Pacific sleeper shark for studying By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

A male Pacific sleeper shark was captured by researchers at the Alaska SeaLife Center for an investigative study on the species, the center wrote in a press release. The shark is a close relative of the Greenland shark, which can live hundreds of years, the release said. “If findings from recent studies on the Greenland shark transfer to Pacific sleepers, these animals could maybe reach an astonishing age of 200-300 years old,” Dr. Amy Bishop, a scientist at the center, said in the release. The team hopes to investigate the ecological importance of these sharks, how their populations are impacted through fishing activities and their predation habits.

The center’s senior researcher, Dr. Markus Horning, is leading the study as the principal investigator, along with Bishop, Robert Hocking and Jared Guthridge. The team is also working with Dr. Christopher Lowe, a shark expert from California State University at Long Beach. The Pacific sleeper shark is a large marine predator prevalent in Alaska waters, and the release says evidence from initial tagging work by the center’s researchers suggests they may be a key predator of juvenile Steller sea lions. The release says researchers first began fishing for sharks in 2018, first looking for sharks under 6 feet. “The goal is to bring up to five young, small sharks to the Center for short periods of time for select studies on See shark, Page A3

Swan Lake Fire expansion slows over weekend By Victoria Petersen Peninsula Clarion

Growth of the Swan Lake Fire near Sterling has slowed despite another hot, dry weekend, according to a Monday update from the Northwest Incident Management Team. The fire is 96,889 acres, and is now just over half the size of the 2014 Funny River Fire, which burned a total area of 193,597 acres. There are 394 personnel working on the fire, which is 14%

contained. Another community meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Cooper Landing school. The east flank of the fire continues to move into higher elevations and into the Mystery Creek, Thurman Creek and Chickaloon River drainages. Fire crews are assessing public recreation cabins along the Resurrection Pass Trail for possible point protection, in case the fire reaches the

trail. The Chugach National Forest has issued a partial closure of the Resurrection Pass Trail, and fire restrictions are in effect prohibiting building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, or some stoves, including charcoal fires. Firefighters have been successful at holding the north end of the fire along the ENSTAR pipeline and the Chickaloon River. The western edge of the fire continues to smolder along marshy areas,

and mop ups continue along the southwest corner. Firefighters are working toward a full containment along the Sterling Highway. Warm, dry weather is expected to continue, however, a potential break in the high pressure system over Alaska may allow for cooler temperatures and an increase in clouds midweek. Winds have been mostly out of the north, but a change to southerly direction is anticipated.

said support is there from constituents. “The public is speaking loud and clear,” Edgmon said. “They’re greatly opposed to the huge vetoes that the governor administered. I think by and large, that’s the message I’m getting as someone who attended large meetings both in Anchorage and Fairbanks and who’s heard from rural districts such as I represent. ” The Senate President and House Speaker said they expect more legislators to be present in Juneau Wednesday for the vote. A smaller group of lawmakers were in Wasilla Monday, which Dunleavy named as the site for a special session. Edgmon said if representatives don’t show, then it’s up to them to answer to their districts as to why they stayed away from an important matter. Giessel said she expects most of the six absent senators to be present Wednesday. One of those absences led to a change in Senate leadership after the special session convened. Leader Mia Costello, R-Anchorage, was ousted as Senate Majority Leader in favor of Sen. Lyman Hoffman, D-Bethel. Hoffman also replaced Costello on the Rules Committee. “I need a majority leader, so we changed her out,” Giessel said. “It’s a permanent change.” Earlier, Giessel said Costello would still be welcome to caucus with the Senate Majority. Only one member of the House Majority was absent Monday, Edgmon said. Rep Tammie Wilson, R-North Pole, was part of the Wasilla contingent. “I think it’s going to be a topic of discussion with our caucus when she gets back,” Edgmon said. “It’s something that we’ll be addressing later on.”

Will work pay dividends? A bill establishing a $1,600 PFD, House Bill 2001, was

Michael Penn | Juneau Empire

Senate President Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, and Speaker of the House Bryce Edgmon, I-Dillingham, speak to members of the media after gaveling into a Second Special Session of the Alaska Legislature in Juneau on Monday. The two leaders are calling for a full override of Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s budget vetoes.

also given a hearing during the manic Monday. That total is similar to last year’s PFD and about half of the $3,000 PFD supported by Dunleavy. It was among a handful of PFD options discussed by the Bicameral Permanent Fund Working Group to start the day. “The issue before the Legislature is do you overdraw the earnings reserve based on long-term projections and based on the long-term health of the fund massively cut the budget and pay every Alaskan a sort of double-sized permanent fund dividend?” Edgmon asked. “Or do you strike a compromise within those goal posts?” The $1,600 PFD bill will receive further consideration by both the House and the Senate Tuesday in a handful of committee meetings expected to dominate the day in the Capitol. Edgmon said the legislators gathered in Juneau were there to do their jobs of ensuring there is a dividend today and tomorrow, which is a balance not everyone understands or appreciates. However, he said public sentiment seems to favor smaller dividends in exchange for more state services. “Most people throughout the state are willing to accept a responsible permanent fund dividend as long as we can do our job in the Legislature and provide for quality education, public safety, transportation

— essential services that Alaskans come to depend on,” Edgmon said. “And when they are cut to the degree they were a few days ago by the

governor’s veto pen … the public, I think are coming out en masse, like they did when the governor’s original budget came out Feb. 12.”

After receiving assurance from local fishing captain, Andy Mezirow, that sleeper sharks could be found right in the Bay, they started pulling a team together to fish regularly.”

To find the shark, the scientists used bait stations placed up to 900 feet down. Visitors to the center may be able to see the research in action, as the sharks are staying in the largest pool, which is visible from the second floor of the research institute, the release said. Funding for the project was provided by the North Pacific Research Board. The project is also permitted by the center’s institutional ethics committee and by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

Many of the speakers stressed that such massive cuts to the state budget, particularly those to the state’s education system, would make the state less attractive to investment and leave the state illequipped to compete in a competitive marketplace. Amy Jo Meiners, former Alaska teacher of the year, talked about the challenges schools face trying to plan amid unpredictable funding. “Teachers fear pink slips,” she said. “How can we expect people to live with that fear, year after year?” “We’re setting our students up to fail,” Israa Kako, a former pre-school teacher and advocate for early education said. “This is not Kansas,” Brian Holst, executive director of the Juneau Economic Development Council and Juneau lunch is $7 suggested donation for individuals 60 or older, $14 for those under 60.

School Board president said, referring to the massive cuts to public services made in that state. “Dividends do little towards job creation,” he said. “Is Governor Dunleavy walking back his ‘open for business’ promise? Yes! He is,” said Kate Troll, a former Juneau Assembly member. “He promised not to cut. ‘No pain for Alaska,’ he said.” The overall sentiment at the rally was perhaps best articulated by Jane Andreen of AARP: “We’re doubling the (permanent fund dividend) at the expense of state services.” Dunleavy has promised to pay a roughly $3,000 dividend this year, what he says is the full statutory amount. The governor has also said that legislators who voted against the full amount are doing so to fund an “unsustainable budget.” A special session to address the vetoes has been scheduled for Wednesday, but with the Legislature split between Juneau and Wasilla, the outcome of the political standoff remains up in the air. p.m., at Soldotna Senior Center.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, July 9, the 190th day of 2019. There are 175 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On July 9, 1850, the 12th president of the United States, Zachary Taylor, died after serving only 16 months of his term. (He was succeeded by Millard Fillmore.) On this date: In 1755, British General Edward Braddock was mortally wounded as his troops suffered a massive defeat during the French and Indian War (he died four days later). In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to Gen. George Washington’s troops in New York. In 1816, Argentina declared independence from Spain. In 1918, 101 people were killed in a train collision in Nashville, Tennessee. The Distinguished Service Cross was established by an Act of Congress. In 1937, a fire at 20th Century Fox’s film storage facility in Little Ferry, New Jersey, destroyed most of the studio’s silent films. In 1947, the engagement of Britain’s Princess Elizabeth to Lt. Philip Mountbatten was announced. In 1962, pop artist Andy Warhol’s exhibit of 32 paintings of Campbell’s soup cans opened at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. In 1974, former U.S. Chief Justice Earl Warren died in Washington at age 83. In 1982, Pan Am Flight 759, a Boeing 727, crashed in Kenner, Louisiana, shortly after takeoff from New Orleans International Airport, killing all 145 people aboard and eight people on the ground. In 1992, Democrat Bill Clinton tapped Tennessee Sen. Al Gore to be his running mate. Former CBS News commentator Eric Sevareid died in Washington at age 79. In 1995, Jerry Garcia performed for the final time as frontman of the Grateful Dead during a concert at Chicago’s Soldier Field (Garcia died a month later). In 2001, a divided court in Chile ruled that Gen. Augusto Pinochet could not be tried on human rights charges because of his deteriorating health and mental condition, a ruling that effectively brought the 85-year-old former dictator’s legal troubles to an end. Ten years ago: The Group of Eight industrialized nations opened their summit in L’Aquila, Italy, to Group of Five developing countries Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa, as well as Egypt. The Dutch government turned over dozens of antiquities stolen from Iraq to Baghdad’s ambassador. Michael Phelps broke the then-world record in the 100-meter butterfly at the U.S. national championships in Indianapolis, swimming the two-lap final in 50.22 seconds. Five years ago: President Barack Obama began a two-day visit to Texas, where he met with state officials, including Gov. Rick Perry, to discuss the influx of unaccompanied children at the U.S.-Mexico border. Modeling agency founder Eileen Ford, 92, died in Morristown, New Jersey. One year ago: President Donald Trump chose Brett Kavanaugh, a solidly conservative, politically connected federal appeals court judge, for the Supreme Court to fill the seat left vacant by the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy. (Kavanaugh would be confirmed in October after a contentious nomination fight.) Starbucks announced that it would eliminate plastic straws from all of its locations within two years, citing the environmental threat to oceans.

What others say

Cyberwarfare is real, and dangerous So what if the entire history of you was under scrutiny? For many, maybe most of us, no big deal. On the other hand, that late-night call to an old flame just before you got married might be embarrassing to have surface. But what if it’s way worse? What if someone could reconstruct every place you were, every person you’ve talked to. Boston-based Cybereason, a cyber security firm with Israel Defense Forces roots, told TechCrunch of a massive spying hack that stole call records from more than 10 global cell network providers, going back seven years. The hack appears to have targeted at least 20 specific individuals. Who were the targets? Government officials? Corporate bigwigs? We don’t know. But Cybereason says the data can be used to track the date, time and location of the calls. This isn’t small potatoes: The NSA has collected this information for a long time, over the vehement protests of privacy advocates. If the NSA wants it, and the hackers want it, there must be significant value in this capability, right? Cybereason told TechCrunch they became aware of these hacks a year ago, and have tracked the hacks to learn that it’s been an ongoing operation. Which means the hackers are following specific people. Why? “You could see straight away that they know what they’re after,” Amit Serper, head of security research at Cybereason, told TechCrunch. Cybereason said they weren’t going to name the affected providers, but said many were sizable, and that it didn’t find evidence that North American providers had been infiltrated. The company also didn’t notify the targeted individuals. Cybereason thinks a hack this sophisticated is very likely the work of a nation-state. Perhaps you’ve seen or heard of squabbles over a Chinese telecom firm and smartphone provider called Huawei. It’s currently at the center of a raging battle with the U.S. government, which has put severe restrictions on the use of Huawei products and services, citing fears the company is in cahoots with the Chinese government and is essentially a tool for spying. U.S. companies are being blocked from using Huawei computer chips, software and other components without government approval. Cybereason characterized the hacks as “textbook APT 10” — a hacker group believed to be backed by China. While the Russia/WikiLeaks accusations have raged, the Trump Administration has warned of possible threats from China. Whoever is behind these acts, the U.S. needs to get to the bottom of it, and continue to apply pressure on foreign entities who seek to undermine us. — Boston Herald, July 1

Public debt has now them.

It doesn’t have to be this way. A sustainable budget could be achieved with a careful combination of revenue increases. An income tax would generate revenue from Alaska’s large seasonal workforce, who currently use state services for free. Income from the permanent fund above what’s needed for a capped dividend could contribute to supporting state government. And reform of the Parnell administration’s SB 21 could also contribute to balancing the State’s budget, recognizing that it’s the price of oil, not the state’s tax structure, that drives investment by the petroleum industry. While we should always be alert to government inefficiency, after five years of draconian spending cuts there’s precious little left to cut that won’t reduce state services that people value. When I arrived in Alaska in 1972 I was impressed by how impoverished the state was. The revenues generated by the oil industry have been a tremendous boon since then. The decision to save a portion of those revenues to cushion the inevitable decline of that industry was arguably the wisest choice we’ve ever made. Now, we face an equally momentous decision, whether to use the fund to cushion our inevitable transition to an economy that’s less dependent on oil, or to take on the enormous risks of following the path taken by Kansas. If the Legislature fails to muster the will to override Dunleavy’s vetoes, recovery from damage these vetoes will inflict on our economy will likely take years and perhaps decades. And our only recourse will be the ballot box in 2020.

Justice Department shaking up legal team on census case By Mike Balsamo Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is shaking up the legal team fighting for the inclusion of a citizenship question on the 2020 census but offered no specifics on why the change was being made. The change announced Sunday comes days after the department vowed to continue to try to find a legal path forward to include the question on the census. The Trump administration has faced numerous roadblocks to adding the question, including a ruling from the Supreme Court that blocked its inclusion, at least temporarily. President Donald Trump said last week that he was “very seriously” considering an executive order to get the question on the form. The government has already started to print the census questionnaire without the question. The Justice Department is expected to file court papers Monday that show a new team of lawyers will take over. “Since these cases began, the lawyers representing the United States in these cases have given countless hours to defending the Commerce Department and have consistently demonstrated the highest professionalism, integrity, and skill inside and outside the courtroom,” Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement. A department spokeswoman declined to comment when asked whether the change had been ordered by Attorney General William Barr. A Justice Department official told The Associated Press that the new team would consist of both career and politically appointed attorneys. James Burnham, a top lawyer in the department’s civil division, would no longer be leading the litigation team, said the official, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter ahead of the court filing. An administration official said the new legal team may find it easier to argue the administration’s new position. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak on the record. The Trump administration has argued that the question was being added to aid in enforcing the Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voters’ access to the ballot box. But Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s four more liberal members in last month’s Supreme Court decision, saying the administration’s justification for the question “seems to have been contrived.” The U.S. Census Bureau’s own experts have said a citizenship question would discourage immigrants from participating in the survey and result in a less accurate census that would redistribute money and political power away from Democratic-led cities where immigrants tend to cluster to whiter, rural areas where Republicans do well.

Wealthy financier charged with molesting dozens of girls By Michael R. Sisak and Jim Mustian Associated Press

NEW YORK — Eleven years after letting Jeffrey Epstein off lightly with a secret deal, federal prosecutors made another run at putting the billionaire financier behind bars on sex charges, accusing him Monday of abusing dozens of underage girls as young as 14. The 66-year-old hedge fund manager who once socialized with some of the world’s most powerful people was charged in a newly unsealed indictment with sex trafficking and conspiracy and could get up to 45 years in prison. Prosecutors said the evidence included a “vast trove” of hundreds or even thousands of lewd photographs of young women or girls, discovered in a search of his New York mansion after his arrest. Epstein, who was arrested over the weekend as he arrived in the U.S. from Paris aboard

his private jet, was brought into court in the afternoon in a blue jail uniform, his hair disheveled, a n d Jeffrey pleaded not Epstein guilty. His lawyers argued that the matter had been settled a decade ago with a plea agreement in Florida involving similar allegations. He was ordered jailed at least until a bail hearing Thursday, when prosecutors planned to argue that the world traveler might flee — or try to intimidate witnesses — if released. Epstein was accused of paying underage girls hundreds of dollars in cash for massages and then molesting them at his homes in Florida and New York from 2002 through 2005. He “intentionally sought out minors and knew that many of his victims were in fact under the age of 18,” prosecutors said. He also allegedly

paid some of his victims to recruit additional girls. “In this way, Epstein created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm Beach,” prosecutors said. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman of New York said that the non-prosecution agreement that spared Epstein from a heavy prison sentence a decade ago is binding only on federal prosecutors in Florida, where the deal was made, not on authorities in New York. “While the charged conduct is from a number of years ago, it is still profoundly important to the many alleged victims — now young women,” Berman said. “They deserve their day in court. We are proud to be standing up for them by bringing this indictment.” The federal prosecutor urged other possible victims to contact the FBI. It was not immediately clear whether the Florida case and the new charges involved the same victims, since nearly all

have remained anonymous. Prosecutors in the New York case are seeking the forfeiture of Epstein’s mansion, a sevenstory, 21,000-square-foot townhouse less than a block from Central Park. The home, formerly a prep school, is across the street from a home owned by Bill Cosby and has been valued at approximately $77 million. Epstein, who is unmarried and whose friends have included President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew, was arrested Saturday at an airport in New Jersey, just outside New York City. He was being held at the federal lockup in Manhattan. Berman said prosecutors would oppose his release on bail. “He has enormous wealth. The charges are very serious and carry with them a maximum sentence of 45 years, which to someone of Epstein’s age is basically a life sentence,” Berman said, “so we think he has every incentive to try and flee the jurisdiction.”

‘This is purely political’ Republicans scoff at law allowing release of Trump’s state taxes By David Klepper Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. — President Donald Trump’s New York tax returns could be given to Congress under a new law in his home state that was signed Monday by the Democratic governor and dismissed by Republicans as a partisan game that wouldn’t stand up in court. The measure signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo directs state tax officials to share state returns of certain elected and appointed officials upon written request from the chairpersons of one of three committees: House Ways and Means, Senate Finance or Joint Committee on Taxation. Designed to give Congress a way around the Republican president’s refusal to release his returns, the new law is expected to face legal challenges. And it’s unclear whether Congress will request access to Trump’s state returns, which tax experts say would include many of the same details as his federal return. “No one person — no matter what office they might hold — is above the law,” said Sen. Brad Hoylman, a Manhattan Democrat and the Senate sponsor of the legislation. All sides expect legal challenges and requests for injunctions, meaning it could be many months before any state tax returns are handed over. The White House did

not return a message seeking comment Monday on the law. Trump has long filed taxes in New York as a resident of the state. He is the first president since Watergate to decline to make his returns public, often claiming that he would release them if he were not under audit. The president has not weighed in on the new law but has repeatedly accused New York Democrats of using their positions to harass him and his allies. Republicans in New York say that while the law was written to target Trump, it could be used to go after any other official who pays taxes in the state. “This is purely political,” state Republican Party Chairman Nick Langworthy told reporters Monday. “It is an attempt to settle political scores.” Langworthy predicted the law “will never stand up in the courts.” Democrats are eager to get ahold of the returns, which could reveal details about his

business dealings, his debts and international financial ties. If Congress does request and obtain Trump’s state tax returns, that doesn’t mean the public gets to see them. Under federal law, the confidential information in the returns is supposed to be for the committee’s eyes only. To address concerns about the tax privacy of everyday New Yorkers, state lawmakers narrowed the measure so it applies only to the state income tax returns elected officials, party leaders and top public officials, like judges — as well as any businesses or legal entities they control. In addition, state tax officials would be required to redact personal information, such as Social Security numbers or personal addresses, before handing over the documents. Top lawmakers in Washington have differed on whether congressional committees should make use of the new law.

U.S. House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat, has touted the bill as “a workaround to a White House that continues to obstruct and stonewall the legitimate oversight work of Congress.” Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, D-Massachusetts, however, has signaled that he may not be interested. Neal is already pursuing Trump’s federal returns and has threatened to go to court in order to get the administration to comply. “The difficulty is that we don’t have control over state taxes,” Neal said in May when asked about the New York legislation. “For the moment, we’re still proceeding on our own path.” The group Stand Up America, created in 2016 to mobilize opposition to Trump, urged Democrats in Washington to immediately request Trump’s state returns. “New York has provided Congress a new route for getting answers on behalf of the American people — and all they have to do is ask,” Ryan Thomas, a spokesman for the organization, said in a statement. “Any further delay is an injustice to the American people who deserve transparency about Trump’s foreign entanglements and massive conflicts of interest.” Neal has issued subpoenas for six years of Trump’s tax documents, but Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has so far resisted, saying Congress’ request “lacks a legitimate legislative purpose.”

LOS ANGELES — The powerful Mojave Desert earthquakes that rocked California ended a years-long lull in major seismic activity and raised new interest in an early warning system being developed for the West Coast. The ShakeAlert system is substantially built in California and overall is about 55% complete, with much of the remaining installation of seismic sensor stations to be done in the Pacific Northwest, said Robert de Groot of the U.S. Geological Survey. Areas that have the appropriate number of sensors include Southern California, San Francisco Bay Area and the SeattleTacoma region, de Groot said. The system does not predict earthquakes. Rather, it detects that an earthquake is occurring, rapidly calculates expected intensity levels and sends out alerts that may give warnings ranging from several seconds to perhaps a minute before potentially damaging shaking hits locations away from the epicenter. Depending on the distance, that could be enough time to automatically slow trains, stop industrial machines, start generators, pull a surgical knife away from a patient or tell students to put the “drop, cover and hold” drill into action. For alerts to be useful, delivery has to be timely, and that’s a problem with current cellphone technology. For cellphone delivery, the USGS ultimately intends to use the same system that delivers Amber Alerts, sending signals to everyone in reach of cellphone towers in defined areas where damaging shaking is expected. Pilot programs involving select users have been underway for several years. In October, the USGS announced the system was ready to be used broadly by businesses, utilities, schools and other entities following a software update that reduced problems such as false alerts typically caused by a big quake somewhere in the world being misidentified as a local quake. Currently, the only mass public notification is possible through a mobile app developed for the city of Los Angeles and functional only within Los Angeles County. The ShakeAlertLA app did not send alerts for last week’s two big quakes, but officials said it functioned as designed because the expected level of shaking in the LA area — more than 100 miles from the epicenters— was below a trigger threshold. Thresholds for alerting are important because California has daily earthquakes. “Imagine getting 10 ShakeAlerts on your phone for really small earthquakes that may not affect you,” de Groot said. “If people get saturated with these messages it’s going to make people not care as much.” In the Mojave Desert on Monday, rattled residents cleaned up and officials assessed damage in the aftermath of Thursday’s magnitude 6.4 earthquake and Friday’s magnitude 7.1 quake centered near Ridgecrest. It could be several more days before water service is restored to the small town of Trona, where officials trucked in portable toilets and showers, said San Bernardino County spokesman David Wert. Ten residences in Trona were red-tagged as uninhabitable and officials expect that number to increase as inspectors complete surveys. Wert said he’s seen homes that shifted 6 feet off their foundations. Electricity was restored to Trona over the weekend, allowing people to use much-needed air conditioners as daytime temperatures approached 100 degrees. Teams will need several more days to finish assessments in nearby Ridgecrest, where the number of damaged buildings will likely be in the dozens, Kern County spokeswoman Megan Person said. Person says officials are bringing in counselors to help residents still on edge as aftershocks rattle the area. “You can’t feel every single one, but you can feel a lot of them,” she said. “Those poor people have been dealing with shaking ground non-stop since Thursday.”

Swalwell ends 2020 presidential bid, will seek re-election WASHINGTON — Rep. Eric Swalwell on Monday became the first candidate in the crowded 2020 Democratic presidential primary to exit the campaign, saying he would run for reelection to his California congressional seat next year. Swalwell, 38, announced his exit in his home district, describing his decision as “the beginning of an opportunity in Congress with a new perspective” influenced by his 3-month-long presidential bid. The four-term congressman’s White House effort never progressed significantly with voters, a fact Swalwell acknowledged on Monday in saying that “polls have had their way” in determining his viability. He had signaled before departing the race that he would consider bowing out if he was in danger of missing the cutoff for the next nationally televised Democratic debate, which is based on separate polling and donor qualifications. — Associated Press

Oilers coach provides spark in 12-inning classic By JOEY KLECKA Peninsula Clarion

Before the first pitch was even thrown on a sweltering, lazy Sunday afternoon, Peninsula Oilers head coach Kyle Brown had the key to victory ready to go. It came in the pregame coaches-umpires meeting at home plate, at which time Brown let loose a few criticisms on the umpiring crew, leading to his rapid ejection from the game. The odd exit resulted in a swift 12-inning classic between the Oilers and the threetime Alaska Baseball League champion Mat-Su Miners. The Oilers ended it in walk-off fashion in the bottom of the 12th as the hometown kid Paul Steffensen, a 2017 Kenai Central graduate, brought home the winning run on a fielder’s choice knock that resulted in the Miners failing to turn a double play, giving the Oilers a 2-1 victory and a six-game series split. The Oilers (11-19) are 8.5 games behind the ABL-leading Anchorage Bucs (18-9), and one game ahead of the Chugiak Chinooks (9-19) for the fourth and final spot in the ABL postseason. Brown said his intentions to get thrown out were planned well before the pregame meeting, and he let the team in on his trick. “My whole thing was I wanted to play with an attitude today,” Brown said. “I wanted our actions to speak louder than words. My words were my actions pregame.” Brown said his comments were nothing personal to the officiating crew, but simply a tactic to light a fire under his team. “Obviously losing a doubleheader (Saturday) and down 2-3 in the series at home, I wanted to do something to fire the guys up,” Brown said. “Try something different, and obviously Eric Reardon on the mound did his thing. “When you hold the Miners to one run on four hits, that’s a good day.” The pitching ruled the day as New Jersey lefty Eric Reardon tossed a gem on the

mound for the Oilers, giving up one run on a single hit in six innings of play, walking three and whiffing three. Reardon went toe to toe with Miners starter Randy Abshier, who gave up one unearned run in eight innings on just two hits and one walk, while striking out five. Abshier got the job done in 98 pitches. The bullpens shined as well, as Kyle Muller, Heath Olive and Steven Ordorica combined for six shutout innings for the Oilers. Muller gave up two hits and a walk in two innings, Olive gave up just one hit and whiffed two in three innings of work, and Ordorica earned the save with a perfect inning. The winning sequence in the bottom of the 12th began with a leadoff single from pinch hitter Bobby Goodloe, who moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Drew Thorpe. Following a walk drawn by Victor Carlino, Steffensen raked a ground ball to short. MatSu’s Coby Boulware got one out on the toss to second, but first baseman Drew Williamson couldn’t hold onto the throw and it sailed towards the Oilers dugout, allowing Goodloe to score. “They brought in a new pitcher and I was thinking, fastball,” Goodloe said about his leadoff hit. “Just stick to my approach up the middle, and the outcome was what I wanted. Once I got the base hit, I had to get in scoring position. What happens next was history, I guess.” Steffensen grew up at the ballparks in Kenai and Soldotna, and is very familiar with Seymour park in his time with the Kenai Central Kardinals and the Legion Twins. Steffensen couldn’t recall notching a game-ending hit in his early days but said he stole home against Kodiak once to end a game. “Playing in front of a home crowd is one of the most exciting things to do,” Steffensen said. “To be able to come back is kind of a dream, coming back and getting the win.” Notorious for blinding base running speed, Steffensen’s grounder likely played a role in the Miners’ game-ending error as

they rushed the double play. Steffensen said he was searching for a pitch down the middle that he could put in play. “I was looking for something I could hit hard,” he said. “Probably not exactly where I was looking, but it’s baseball. You’re not always going to get the best pitch, but you try to do something with it.” The Oilers are back on the road for a three-game series with the Anchorage Glacier Pilots, Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Mulcahy Stadium. Sunday in Kenai, the Oilers took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third on an error by Miners first baseman Aaron Walters that allowed Steffensen to reach base and Carlino to make it to third. Camden Vasquez plated Carlino with an RBI groundout to put the Oilers ahead. Mat-Su answered in the top of the fourth with an RBI groundout by Walters to tie it up. The Oilers were able to turn two double plays

in the middle frames. The Miners threatened in the top of the fifth with two on and one out, but the Oilers turned a 4-6-3 double play by Carlino, Skyler Messinger and Connor McCord to end the threat. In the top of the seventh, Ricky Martinez grounded into a Messinger-Carlino-McCord double play to keep the Miners off the board in a bases-loaded situation. McCord was part of another defensive highlight in the top of the sixth when he had to stretch out again to grab the third out. The Oilers missed a chance to win it in the bottom of the 10th, loading the bases with one out but failing to come through after a strikeout by Vasquez and a lineout by Bohall. Bohall, Goodloe and Steffensen recorded the only three hits by the Oilers on the day.

Mets rookie Alonso captures HR Derby By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND (AP) — Pete Alonso took one final swing and flipped his bat high in the air. Another walk-off. Money ball. As the crowd roared, the New York Mets rookie headed toward the mound and tightly squeezed his cousin and pitcher Derek Morgan, who had helped him win the All-Star Home Run Derby and $1 million. Alonso outlasted a worn-down fellow rookie Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the final round Monday night to take home a prize that nearly doubled his 2019 salary. With just seconds to spare, Alonso connected for a homer to left-center to edge Guerrero 23-22 after the Blue Jays’ powerhouse put on a historic display by hitting 91 homers before he ran out of gas following an epic semifinal matchup against Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson. “There’s so many guys that just put on a show,

like Joc, he was amazing, Vladdy, they did such a good job,” Alonso said. “Everybody put on a show. To me it didn’t really seem like the jitters were there, because everyone was awesome. I mean everyone was showing their stuff.” After his last homer cleared the wall, Alonso was swarmed by the NL All-Stars who along with a crowd of 36,119 fans were treated to a power display unlike any in the event’s history. “This was surreal,” Alonso said. Alonso is the second rookie to win outright, following Yankees star Aaron Judge in 2017. He’s also the first Mets player to win the derby since Darryl Strawberry shared the title with Wally Joyner in 1986. Alonso, making the major league minimum of $555,000 this season, has hit 30 home runs. The first baseman will showcase his swing again in Tuesday night’s All-Star Game as baseball continues this season of the longball.

US women return home victorious By jake seiner AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Megan Rapinoe stepped off the plane with champagne in hand — a fizzy souvenir from a most memorable trip overseas. “Thank you, France, for the hospitality,” the U.S. soccer star said. “But wow, we are very excited to be back in America.” The U.S. women’s national team arrived in New York on Monday, a day after beating the Netherlands 2-0 to capture a record fourth Women’s World Cup title. Players and staff touched down at Newark Liberty International Airport at about 4:30 p.m., where they were met with cheers and a banner saying “Congratulations Team USA!” More fans waited at their hotel in Manhattan, and the

players are sure to be feted around the city all week, capped with a ticker-tape parade Wednesday up the Canyon of Heroes. “I think everyone’s feeling just incredible right now,” said Alex Morgan, who swapped out her imaginary teacup for a gold bottle of bubbly on the flight. Rapinoe converted a penalty kick in the second half and Rose Lavelle added a goal in the championship game, kicking off a party that carried over to the tarmac in Newark. Players gathered for a toast and posed for pictures as they sang “We Are The Champions.” “We kind of went through stages,” Morgan said. “Initially everyone was excited, and then a little hungover, and then we slept a little bit, and then we got up and started just celebrating a little more.”

Twins fall to West in 11 innings Joey Klecka Peninsula Clarion

The two American Legion teams that squared off Monday at Coral Seymour Memorial Park were in no rush to get home. Not with the race for the legion playoffs heating up. Ultimately, the Eagles took home the victory 3-2 in 11 innings, outlasting the Twins in a gritty, low-scoring contest on a sweltering day. The Twins forged a split by winning the second, non league, game 7-1. Both teams are scrambling for a playoff spot. Both are in tight division races to secure a top-four spot — the Twins are 6-3 and fourth place in the American Division, while West is 7-5 and fourth in the National Division. That’s what made it big for the Eagles. West head coach John Wilson said walking away with the league victory is a big deal for a squad trying to stake its claim in the standings. “It’s hard to come to Kenai and win, and this was a particularly hard game to win,” Wilson said. “Both teams played great.” Wilson praised both team’s pitching staffs, particularly the bullpens that combined for six

innings of scoreless relief. Twins starter Logan Smith started and lasted 2 1/3 innings before exiting with soreness, having given up one earned run on three hits and three walks and three strikeouts. Opposite Smith was West starter Leland Wilson, who gave up two runs in 4 2/3 frames on two hits and wild nine walks, but Wilson also whiffed seven. The Twins bullpen held together well, with Harrison Metz pitching 4 2/3 scoreless innings, scattering just three hits and walking one, and Mose Hayes finished with four frames of one-hit, onerun ball, striking out five and walking three. West’s reliever Luke Langness spun 6 1/3 scoreless innings with just two hits and four strikeouts, holding to get the save. Post 20 head coach Robb Quelland said there was a lot to take away for a Twins program that is beginning to build on a postseason run. “They didn’t hit very well and we didn’t hit very well,” Quelland said. “But that just goes back to the quality of the pitchers.” Quelland said in a lowscoring battle, it often comes down to who is on the mound,

and how well the batters can adjust to the pitcher. “Balls were put into play, we just didn’t hit well,” he said. “It’s kind of just the league we play in. Some days you see guys that throw 80 (mph) and some days you see guys that throw 50. The better teams adjust to that quickly.” The Twins did well to put baserunners on, particularly as Wilson issued nine walks, but had trouble bringing runs in. The Twins stranded nine men, mostly in the first four innings. Smith came through with the big hit for the Twins with a gametying two-run double in the bottom of the fourth that landed in the far reaches of left centerfield. From there, however, neither team could capitalize on chances when presented with the opportunity. West put a runner in scoring position in the seventh but lost its chance on a pop fly that ended in a double play at second base. The Twins were able to turn four double plays on the day, including the bottom of the 10th when a liner went back to Hayes on the mound to start a 1-6-3 double play. In the bottom of the 10th, the Eagles turned a double play of their own when a foul pop up by Hayes landed with West’s

catcher, who caught David Michael out at first on a pick off. The Eagles caught their break in the top of the 11th when Luis Nunez drew a walk, then stole second, setting up Carter Stolpe to score him on an RBI single blooped into right centerfield. Earlier, West was able to build up a 2-0 lead with runs in each the second and third innings. Ivan Tillman notched a two-out RBI single to plate the first run of the day, then an infield single by Langness scored a second run for West in the third. Smith ended up leading the Twins on offense, going 2 for 4, while Jacob Boze and Metz each had a base hit. In the second game, the Twins scored four runs in the second to build a 5-0 lead and hung on from there. Harold Ochea pitched a gem in starting for the Twins with three scoreless innings of one-hit ball. Ochea struck out four with no walks. Jeremy Kupferschmid pitched two scoreless frames of relief with just one hit, while whiffing one, and Seth Adkins gave up one run on three hits and one walk in two innings, striking out two. Hayes went 3 for 4 with two RBI’s to lead the Twins.

mow with her tractor. She asked us to mow that area with our push mower because she doesn’t have one, so for the past 15 years, we have. It takes only 10 minutes, so we really don’t mind at all. Last Friday, I was running late to go out of town. I didn’t spend as much time as usual on the yard, and I received this text from her: “Good evening. I really appreciate that you and (your husband) keep the strip between our houses mowed, but I just paid $400 to get my driveway power washed. That’s a lot of money to get it all moldy again so quickly, so can one of you please come and sweep off the driveway before the rain starts falling tomorrow?” My husband went and spent the 60 seconds it took to sweep it, but I don’t know how to reply to her text. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. — MOWED DOWN IN THE EAST DEAR MOWED DOWN: Is your neighbor so infirm or aged that she is

DEAR ABBY: If I have several guests sitting around chatting, and they start getting loud discussing politics or religion, would it be rude for me to say, “No discussing politics or religion”? Some friends become very loud. I guess they think if they yell, people will abide by what they have to say. — MEDIATING IN TEXAS DEAR MEDIATING: It would not be rude to say, “Hey, folks, this is getting heated, so let’s change the subject.

Jacqueline Bigar’s Stars

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You sense an innate conflict in a relationship. Each of you has different levels of emotional intensity at which you are comfortable expressing. Those levels do not necessarily reflect your emotional dimension. Rather than criticizing them, enjoy the differences. An authority figure could be unusually demanding. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ More often than not, you reach out to others with greater sensitivity. Right now, this trademark might be less present, as you find

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ You tend to be prone to risks and taking a walk on the wild side. At present, this particular trademark comes forward strongly. Try not to take risks financially unless you are sure you can take the loss -- though you might not lose. Tonight: Make time for a child or loved one!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You have come to a conclusion that could be quite personal, and you might not be ready to share it. Nevertheless, this decision could affect your personal and domestic life. When you can, open up a discussion. Tonight: Indulge in a favorite dessert.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ You tend to express yourself with ease in comparison to other people. However, you could be withholding some intense feelings, which might make you feel fragile at this point. Do not push yourself beyond your comfort zone. Tonight: Visit with a neighbor.

★★★★ Zero in on what you want. You have been eyeing a long-term goal or desire. Trust that you will make the correct decisions around this matter if you get advice from someone you often have discussions with. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Rubes | Leigh Rubin

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ You could be challenged by a loved one or a work associate far more than usual. If you feel reactive, do not be surprised. Instead, take the path of peace. Understand what is going on. Tonight: Enjoy being the main actor. Others follow your lead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ You sense that you have finally effectively made the changes you desired. Do not allow another person to invade your space and try to change your direction. Support yourself in your long-term desires. Tonight: If you can dream it, you can probably make it happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Information coming in from a distance will enable you to make the correct choice. You could be confused about a decision you need to make. Share the issue with a trusted friend. Tonight: Reach out for a loved one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★ Stand back and try to do something differently. You do not need to share all the details around this particular issue, but you might want to get some advice or some moral support. Tonight: Off to the movies.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★★ Relate directly to a loved one or dear friend. You could be in a situation where you do not feel comfortable. Play it close to the

HOME PROTECTION Dear Heloise: I NEVER mention to the cabdriver or ride-share driver who picks me up at home that I’m going away for a long period. He could come back to my property and burgle it. If he’s taking me to the airport, I mention that my husband (whether I have one or not) is staying home. I’m sure the majority of these ride-share drivers are upstanding and trustworthy, but you never know. — Barbara F. in California

OFFICE/KITCHEN COMBO Dear Heloise: I have a desk in my kitchen. This makes it easier to answer email or write letters while preparing a meal. Also, the kids can sit at the desk and work on their projects or summer school homework while I cook, and we can have a nice chat. — Deborah T. in Texas

cryptoquip

★★★★★ One-on-one relating draws positive, long-term results. Honor what is going on, and note the parties involved. You might not be able to create a repetition without the same crew. A joint decision leads to success. Tonight: Togetherness works.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

hints from heloise Dear Readers: Ladies, the heat is on. How should you DRESS FOR THE OFFICE IN THE SUMMER? Most offices adopt a more relaxed dress code for summertime. Let’s take a look: * A pressed khaki pants, skirt or capri pants is a “go”; most companies allow bare legs now. Dressy sandals are OK, but not flip-flops. * Leave leggings, exercise wear (“athleisure”) and crop tops at home. * Collared knit shirts with the company logo are OK. * Sleeveless dresses and tops are tricky; have a jacket on standby. * Loud florals are discouraged, but bold solid colors can be fine. Conforming to the company dress code is necessary, but you can relax your dress and brighten things up a bit in the summertime. If you have questions, ask your human resources department for more information. Pattern your summer dress style after your supervisors’ wardrobe. — Heloise

vest and do not reveal any information you consider confidential. Use caution with funds. Tonight: Make it your treat.

German bank ‘tried to compete’ Deutsche Bank cuts mark end to failed bid for global scale. By Geir Moulson Associated Press

BERLIN — The radical and painful restructuring of Germany’s Deutsche Bank, which is cutting 18,000 jobs, is the end of a long, failed attempt to compete with the global investment banking giants that left it overextended. The bank plan unveiled Sunday aims to go “back to our roots” by refocusing on traditional strengths like serving corporate customers and wealthy individuals and cutting down on its stocktrading business and fixedincome investments. Investors gave a wary response on Monday, however, pushing shares down 5% at 6.82 euros ($7.68) in Frankfurt. CEO Christian Sewing said the job cuts have already begun and will last until 2022, though he wouldn’t give a geographical breakdown. Deutsche Bank had nearly 91,500 employees at the end of March, about 41,600 of them in Germany. Many of its investment banking activities are carried out in New York and London. “This is a rebuilding which, in a way, also takes us back to

our roots,” Sewing said in a message to staff. Analysts say the overhaul is the bank’s long-needed reckoning with the failure of its expansion plan. Deutsche Bank’s move into investment banking dates back to 1989, when it took over Morgan Grenfell, and the 1999 takeover of Bankers Trust. The division helped drive strong profits in the 2000s and was part of an ambition to become one of the global banking giants, like JPMorgan or HSBC. But the expansion, and the global financial crisis around 2008, also helped generate its subsequent problems. Deutsche Bank wrestled for years with high costs, weak profits, and a low share price. It also paid billions in fines and settlements related to behavior before and after the global financial crisis. Analysts expect Deutsche Bank’s departure to be a net benefit for the U.S.-based investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase. Competition between the big Wall Street firms for business has been intense for years, and has only gotten worse in recent years as fewer companies are using traditional financial services to go public or issue debt. The end of Deutsche Bank’s commodity and bond trading

operations will also be a boon for the banks, as trading will likely move to the banks which already specialize in it, like Citigroup, Goldman and JPMorgan. The bad headlines continued this year when two U.S. congressional committees subpoenaed Deutsche Bank documents as part their investigations into President Donald Trump and his company. Deutsche Bank was one of the few banks willing to lend to Trump after a series of corporate bankruptcies and defaults starting in the early 1990s. The Frankfurt-based bank went three straight years without an annual profit before earning 341 million euros for 2018. Sewing took over last year, promising faster restructuring after predecessor John Cryan was perceived to have moved too slowly. “We tried to compete in nearly every area of the banking market at the same time,” Sewing told investors on Monday. “We simply spread ourselves too thin.” Earlier this year, the bank entered talks to merge with German rival Commerzbank, which had also been ailing since the global financial crisis. But the talks failed in April amid concerns that a merger would be too complicated and costly. That left open the question

of what strategy Deutsche Bank could pursue to make its business leaner and more profitable. Previous shake-up attempts have been “too little, too late,” said Neil Wilson, an analyst for Markets.com in London. “Now it’s the right medicine, it just should have been taken a few years ago,” Wilson said. He added that some questions remain about how the bank aims to grow revenues once it has restructured, and that seems reflected in the investors’ sell-off of the shares on Monday. Philip Augar, a Britishbased banking expert and former equities broker, told the BBC that Deutsche Bank was embarking on a spectacular reversal of the strategy that began with the 1999 Bankers Trust acquisition. “Their ambition was to challenge the Wall Street giants. And for about decade, it looked as though they’d pulled it off,” he said, with the bank “a serious player on Wall Street and in the City” in the 2000s. But things went wrong in the financial crisis as Deutsche Bank cut slowly and modestly while others “retreated radically and drastically, and more or less, instantly,” he added. “They’ve been limping along for the last few years and I suppose this day had to come,” he said.

Congo rebel leader known as ‘The Terminator’ convicted By Mike Corder Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The International Criminal Court on Monday convicted a notorious rebel commander known as “The Terminator” of 18 counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes including murder, rape and sexual slavery for his role in atrocities in a bloody ethnic conflict in a mineral-rich region of Congo in 2002-2003. Bosco Ntaganda, who maintained his innocence during his trial, faces a maximum life sentence following his convictions at the global court. He showed no emotion as Presiding Judge Robert Fremr passed judgment. A separate hearing will be scheduled to determine his sentence. Ntaganda has 30 days to appeal. Ntaganda was first indicted in 2006 and became a symbol of impunity in Africa, even serving as a general in Congo’s army before turning himself in in 2013 as his power base crumbled. Fremr said that Ntaganda was guilty as a direct perpetrator or a co-perpetrator of a string of crimes including murders, rapes of men and women, a massacre in a banana field behind a building called The Paradiso and of enlisting and using child soldiers. “The bodies of those killed — men women and children and babies — were found in the banana field over the next days,” Fremr said. “Some

bodies were found naked, some had their hands tied up and some had their heads crushed. Several bodies were disemboweled or otherwise mutilated.” During his trial, Ntaganda testified for weeks in his own defense, saying he wanted to put the record straight about his reputation as a ruthless military leader. He was the deputy chief of staff and commander of operations for rebel group the Patriotic Forces for the Liberation of Congo. The force’s leader, Thomas Lubanga, was convicted by the ICC in 2012 of using child soldiers. He is serving a 14-year prison sentence. Maria Elena Vignoli, international justice counsel with Human Rights Watch, welcomed Ntaganda’s conviction. “The long-awaited judgment provides an important

measure of justice for Bosco Ntaganda’s victims and puts others responsible for grave crimes on notice,” she said. “But renewed violence in eastern Congo highlights the need to address the impunity for other abusive leaders.” Congolese activists also praised the conviction. “We welcome the decision of the ICC. We believe that the victims will be relieved,” said Jean-Claude Katende, president of the African Association of Human Rights in Congo. “We want the sentence to be fixed proportionate to his crimes.” A representative of the Lendu community in Congo’s Ituri province also hailed the conviction. “We are very happy with this decision of the ICC,” said Francois Dheda. “To this day, we are traumatized by Ntaganda’s acts of brutality. The mass graves of the

Thousands in Hong Kong take message to mainlanders Associated Press HONG KONG — Tens of thousands of people, many wearing black shirts and some carrying British colonial-era flags, marched in Hong Kong on Sunday, targeting a mainland Chinese audience as a month-old protest movement showed no signs of abating. Chanting “Free Hong Kong” and words of encouragement to their fellow citizens, wave after wave of demonstrators streamed by a shopping district popular with mainland visitors on a march to the high-speed railway station that connects the semi-autonomous Chinese territory to Guangdong and other mainland cities. Hong Kong has been riven by huge marches

and sometimes disruptive protests for the past month, sparked by proposed changes to extradition laws that would have allowed suspects to be sent to the mainland to face trial. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam suspended the bill and apologized for how it was handled, but protesters want it to be formally withdrawn and for Lam to resign. Organizers said 230,000 people marched on Sunday, while police estimated the crowd at 56,000. “We want to show our peaceful, graceful protest to the mainland visitors because the information is rather blocked in mainland,” march organizer Ventus Lau said. “We want to show them the true image and the message of Hong Kongers.”

victims are still visible, the whole villages burned at the time are still visible. In addition to this conviction we are looking for reparations.” Amnesty International also called for reparations. “We can only hope that today’s verdict provides some consolation to those affected by the grotesque crimes perpetrated by Ntaganda and paves the way for his victims and their families to finally obtain a measure of justice and reparations,” said Joan Nyanyuki, Amnesty International’s Director for East Africa. Monday’s convictions were a victory for ICC prosecutors after high profile defeats recently. In January, judges acquitted former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo and a former government minister of involvement in crimes following disputed 2010 elections. Last year, a former Congolese vice president, Jean-Pierre Bemba, was acquitted on appeal of crimes allegedly committed by his militia in neighboring Central African Republic. Set up in 2002, the court has convicted only four people of war crimes and five more for interfering with witnesses. Fremr said 102 witnesses testified at Ntaganda’s trial, including a woman who survived having her throat slit by Ntaganda’s forces. Fremr said Ntaganda himself shot and killed an elderly man serving as a Catholic priest. Vignoli said thousands more victims in Congo still await justice.

Mexican president gets little backlash for migrant crackdown MEXICO CITY — Mexican police, soldiers and National Guard are raiding hotels, buses and trains to round up migrants, creating scenes of weeping Central American mothers piled into police vans along with their children and overflowing detention centers with deplorable conditions. Such scenes have caused an outcry in the United States, but in Mexico there has been little backlash against the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador even though his country has historically had a deep sympathy for the plight of migrants. This sympathy has been eroded by the migrant caravans of late 2018 and early 2019, which left a bad taste in the mouth of Mexicans and caused deep divisions among pro-migrant groups. López Obrador’s reputation as a popular leftist has also muted the response to the crackdown. Add to this the disruption caused by migrants in Mexican border cities and threats of border closures or tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump, and it has all led many Mexicans to see the waves of migrants as a problem. Polls say López Obrador’s approval rating has held steady at 66% to 72% despite the crackdown and reports of brutal conditions at the huge Siglo XXI migrant holding facility on Mexico’s southern border and other centers. When the first caravan got a warm welcome in October, Mexicans were almost evenly split on whether Mexico should stop migrants from other countries from entering without proper documents, according to an El Universal survey which polled 1,000 people June 3-7 with a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points. Eight months later, 61.5% supported stopping them and only 33% opposed it, according to the same poll. Even more dramatic was the reversal on giving migrants asylum in Mexico. In October, nearly 48% favored it, while 38% opposed. By June that had flipped, with 57% opposed and 37% favoring. Even for Mexicans who don’t think Central Americans take jobs from Mexicans or cause increased crime — accusations routinely heard, especially in southern Mexico — there is a sense that too many migrants have come. “The truth is that it is a problem for everyone. It’s better that they be sent back to their countries,” said Jorge Parada Leon, a Mexico City message delivery worker. “Crossing Mexico the way they do is dangerous, a lot of them have died … they should fix the problems they have in their home countries.” Many Mexicans are also angered by the idea that Mexico would contribute money for development aid in Central America. López Obrador “should focus on the people instead of being compassionate with the migrants who come from other countries,” said Argelia Miranda Vazquez, a government employee. “He should support the (Mexican) people. And the others? Well, let their governments take care of their own people.”

Saudi carrier cancels troubled Boeing 737 order for Airbus DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Boeing’s campaign to restore the reputation of its best-selling plane after two deadly crashes suffered a blow with a Saudi airline canceling an order worth up to $5.9 billion in favor of a European rival of the U.S. manufacturer. Flyadeal, the budget airline arm of Saudi Arabian Airlines Corp., ordered 30 A320neo jets from Airbus and took options on 20 more, meaning that its entire fleet will consist of planes from that company. It’s a potentially troubling sign for Boeing, which has not seen customers divert orders to Airbus en masse. A small number of airlines have threatened to cancel 737 Max orders since crashes off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia killed 346 people. The Max has been grounded since March. Officials with Indonesia’s Garuda said in March that they were canceling the remaining 49 of a 50-jet Max order. Published reports suggest the airline and Boeing are in talks, however, and Boeing still lists the last 49 Garuda orders on its website.

U.N. rights chief ‘appalled’ by conditions in U.S. for migrants GENEVA — The United Nations’ human rights chief said Monday she was “appalled” by the conditions migrants and refugees face in U.S. detention facilities, intensifying a challenge to the Trump administration’s immigration policies. United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said children stopped by border agents should never be held in immigration detention facilities or separated from their families, and detention should not be the norm for adults, either. A spokeswoman for the U.N. human rights office, Ravina Shamdasani, said Bachelet decided to speak out more forcefully than before after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general issued a report last week warning of dangerous conditions in U.S. immigration detention facilities. — Associated Press

Spain: Pamplona kicks off running of bulls festival The fiesta is immortalized in Ernest Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises.” By Alvaro Barrientos and Aritz Parra Associated Press

PAMPLONA, Spain — The blast of a traditional firework on Saturday opened nine days of uninterrupted partying in Pamplona’s famed running of the bulls festival. A member of the northern city’s official brass band was chosen for

this year’s launch of the rocket, known as the “Chupinazo,” to mark 100 years since the local ensemble’s foundation. Jesús Garísoain addressed an ecstatic crowd from the city hall’s balcony, declaring “Long live San Fermin,” the saint honored by the festival. The blast was met by an eruption of joy from revelers, who sprayed each other with wine, staining in pink the traditional attire of white clothes and a red scarf. Early 20th-century American author Ernest Hemingway immortalized the fiesta in his “The

Sun Also Rises” novel. During the festival, Pamplona’s population swells from nearly 200,000 residents to around a million visitors, who are attracted by the adrenaline boost of bull runs along a 930-yard street course to the city’s bullring and seamless nights of partying. The city is also trying to leave behind the scandal that stemmed from a gang rape of an 18-year-old woman during the 2016 festival. The initial prison sentences for sexual abuse to the five defendants was seen as too lenient and led

to widespread public outcry, galvanizing the country’s feminist movement. Last month, Spain’s Supreme Court overruled the lower courts and sentenced the men to 15 years in prison for rape. In the full-length ruling, published on Friday, judges say the attackers were fully aware of the crime they were committing and bragged about it in a WhatsApp group that they called “The Animal Pack.” The case has led to authorities in Pamplona to step up police surveillance and set up information

booths, cellphone apps and 24-hour hotlines allowing instant reporting of abuse cases. The protests of pro-animal rights groups have also become a fixture in recent years. On the eve of the festival, dozens of semi-naked activists staged a performance simulating speared bulls lying dead on Pamplona’s cobbled streets to draw attention at what they see as animal cruelty for the sake of human entertainment. Bullfights are protected under the Spanish Constitution as part of the country’s cultural heritage.
