WASHINGTON — U.S. and Mexican officials labored for a second day Thursday to avert import tariffs that President Donald Trump is threatening to impose as he

tries to strong-arm Mexico into stemming the flood of Central American migrants a t A m e r i c a ’ s s o u t h e r n border.

Both sides claimed head-way in a lengthy meeting Wednesday, but Trump said a “lot of progress” must still be made to halt the 5% tax

on all Mexican goods that he has threatened to impose Monday as part of an esca-lating tariff regime opposed by many in his own Repub-lican Party.

Underscoring the scope of the border problem, the Department of Home-land Security announced

Wednesday that U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions of migrants illegally crossing the border hit the highest level in more than a decade in May: 132,887 apprehen-sions, including a record 84,542 adults and children

OMAHA BEACH, France — With silent remembrance and respect, nations honored the fallen and the singular bravery of all Allied troops who sloshed through blood-ied water to the beaches of Normandy 75 years ago on D-Day, the assault that portended the fall of Hitler’s Third Reich.

French President Emman-uel Macron and President Donald Trump praised the soldiers, sailors and airmen,

the survivors and those who lost their lives, in power-ful speeches Thursday that credited the June 6, 1944, surprise air and sea opera-tion that brought tens of thousands of men to Nor-mandy, each not knowing whether he would survive the day.

“You are the pride of our nation, you are the glory of our republic, and we thank you from the bottom of our heart,” Trump said, of the warriors engaged in the ulti-mate fight of good against

COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France — On a bluff overlook-ing Omaha Beach, President Donald Trump on Thurs-day lauded the heroism of American and Allied service members who participated in the D-Day invasion, saying they “they came wave after wave without question, with-out hesitation and without complaint.”

Trump joined other world leaders at Normandy Ameri-can Cemetery in France to honor those who died and participated in the battle. Trump also sought to assure allies skittish about relying on the U.S. under his “America first” brand of leadership.

“To all of our friends and partners — our cherished alli-ance was forged in the heat of battle, tested in the trials of war, and proven in the bless-ings of peace. Our bond is unbreakable,” the president said.

World leaders dwelled on the alliances that were needed to pull off a feat like D-Day. Trump also praised allies for their past work, saying “the full violence of Nazi fury was no match for the full gran-deur of British pride.” He also credited the Canadians and the French, along with “the fighting Poles, the tough Norwegians, and the intrepid Aussies.”

Under blue skies far quieter than those streaked by gunfire exactly 75 years ago, Trump described the 130,000 ser-vice members who took part in the D-Day landing from boat as the “citizens of free and independent nations, united by their duty to their

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday reaffirmed his staunch denial that his government meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential elec-tion despite the extensive evidence to the contrary, and insisted Moscow has no intention of interfering in any future votes, either.

Speaking in response to a question from The Associ-ated Press during a meeting with chief executives of inter-national news agencies in St. Petersburg, the Russian leader said that “we didn’t meddle, we aren’t meddling and we will not meddle in any elections.”

Putin and other Russian officials have hotly denied any interference with the U.S. vote to help Donald Trump win the presidency, even though U.S. special counsel Robert Mueller has uncov-ered evidence of a Kremlin operation to interfere with the 2016 vote. He charged 12 Russian military intelligence officers with breaking into Democratic Party emails, and also indicted other Russians who used phony social media accounts to spread divisive rhetoric and to undermine the U.S. political system.

Putin insisted that “we don’t have and never had any plans to interfere in U.S. domestic politics,” but added that the Russian government can’t stop private citizens from expressing their views about developments in the U.S. online.

“How can we ban them from doing that?” he said. “Do you have such a ban with regard to Russia?”

The president added that Russia had offered to agree

on a set of rules regarding modern communications to President Barack Obama’s administration and then Trump’s White House, but neither was ready to make the deal.

During his meeting, Putin also warned that the U.S. reluctance to start talks on extending a key arms con-trol pact raises the threat of an uncontrollable arms race, and said that Moscow has no plans to send troops to shore up Venezuela’s embattled leader.

Asked about Trump’s tweet this week that Moscow had informed Washington it had “removed most of their people from Venezuela,” Putin said that Russian experts come and go to service Russian-made weapons bought by Caracas.

“We aren’t building any military bases there, we aren’t sending troops there, we have never done that,” Putin said. “But we have fulfilled our contract obligations in the sphere of military-technical cooperation and we will keep doing that.”

The Russian leader said the

U.S. sanctions against Ven-ezuela have hurt ordinary people, and warned Washing-ton against using force to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Russia has staunchly backed Maduro, while the U.S. and several dozen other nations have thrown their support behind opposition leader Juan Guaidó and recognized him as interim president, asserting that Maduro’s re-election last year was illegitimate.

Putin said “the crisis in Venezuela should be settled by the Venezuelan people,” adding that “through dia-logue, consultations and cooperation between various political forces, the Venezu-elan people themselves must decide whether Mr. Maduro should stay in power or not.”

The Russian leader said he feels “absolutely neutral” about Guaidó, describing him as a “nice person,” but charged that his leadership claim has created a prece-dent that could “lead to chaos across the world.”

“Let them elect U.S. presi-dents, British prime ministers

and French presidents like that,” he said. “And where will all that lead? I would like to ask those who support it: Are you mad?”

Putin issued a stern warn-ing about the danger of a new arms race.

He accused the United States of shunning talks on extending the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty that is set to expire in 2021.

Putin said that while Russia has repeatedly signaled its intention to begin discussions on extending the pact, Wash-ington has been unresponsive.

“We have said 100 times already that we are ready, but no one is talking to us,” he said.

The New START pact, signed in 2010 by Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, limits each coun-try to no more than 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and bombers.

Putin added that Russia’s new weapons will protect its security “for a long time to come” even if the pact isn’t extended, but he voiced con-cern about the “complete dismantling of arms control mechanisms.”

Putin also criticized the U.S. withdrawal from another key arms pact, the 1987 Interme-diate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, denying Wash-ington’s claims of Russian violations of the agreement.

Citing those alleged viola-tions, the U.S. has formally suspended its obligations under the INF that bans all land-based cruise and ballis-tic missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometers (310 to 3,410 miles), setting the stage for the treaty to terminate later this year. Russia, which has denied any breaches, has followed suit.

WEST POINT, N.Y. — A vehicle loaded with West Point cadets on summer training overturned in rough, wooded terrain Thursday, killing one cadet and injur-ing several others, according to the U.S. Military Academy.

T h e t a c t i c a l v e h i c l e operated by two soldiers overturned around 6:45 a.m. as it was headed to a land navigation site as part of standard summer cadet training, said West Point’s superintendent, Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams. The two soldiers were injured along with 19 cadets in the Class of 2020. Williams said none of the injuries were life-threatening. Injuries included broken arms and facial abra-sions, an official with the hospital at West Point said.

“It is not common for these vehicles to turn over. It is very rough terrain,” Williams told reporters at a briefing near the accident site Thursday afternoon. “You can see the

hills we have here.”Helicopter footage from

WNBC showed a truck flipped over in a wooded area.

The investigation is con-tinuing, Williams said, and “we don’t know the details of how the accident actually happened.”

The “light medium tacti-cal vehicle” that rolled over has a 5-ton payload and an

extended bed, according to West Point. That vehicle class has a passenger capacity of 20, not counting those in the cab, according to an Army technical bulletin.

It was not clear whether all the cadets were aboard the vehicle, as opposed to nearby, academy spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Ophardt said.

Officials were notifying relatives and did not release the identity of the cadet who died.

President Donald Trump tweeted Thursday after-noon: “So sorry to hear about the terrible accident involv-ing our GREAT West Point Cadets. We mourn the loss of life and pray for the injured. God Bless them ALL!”

Classes ended at West Point last month, but the academy runs summer mili-tary training exercises for cadets in the heavily wooded hills outside the main gates. The rollover occurred on a fire break road as the vehicle was leaving Camp Natural Bridge, where trainees live during the summer, Ophardt said.

West Point is on the Hudson River about 50 miles north of New York City.

It was the second cadet death at West Point this year. Cadet Peter Zhu died in Feb-ruary after a skiing accident. His parents made headlines afterward for their success-ful legal effort to retrieve his frozen sperm.

COLUMBIA, S.C.Mercy or death? Jury takes up dad’s fate for killing 5 kids

A South Carolina father convicted of killing his five young children should die for the murders because he made them suffer in a care-fully thought out plan to avoid prison, prosecutors said Thursday.

But a lawyer for Timothy Jones Jr. asked the same jurors who convicted him two days earlier to have mercy and choose life in prison without parole because “God could use people in dark places.”

The sentencing phase of Jones’ trial started Thursday with brief opening state-ments, then took a 30-minute break after a juror started crying hard as the first wit-ness showed the five trash bags found on a hillside near Camden, Alabama, with the bodies of the children inside.

WASHINGTONAgency watchdog slams conditions at ICE facilities

The Homeland Security Department’s internal watch-dog says rotting food, moldy and dilapidated bathrooms and agency practices at immi-gration detention facilities may violate detainees’ rights.

The Office of Inspector General made unannounced visits to four facilities in California and New Jersey between May and November of last year, according to a report published Thursday. The facilities together house about 5,000 detainees.

In an Adelanto, California detention facility, inspectors found nooses in detainee cells, the segregation of certain detainees in an overly restric-tive way and inadequate medical care, the report said.

LEESBURGDeputies: Man sold stolen van to pay probation fees

Selling someone else’s prop-erty isn’t a good way to pay off probation fees, a Leesburg man found out Tuesday.

Christopher Glenn Locke, 33, was reportedly staying with a friend who allowed a local locksmith to leave his van on his property. When code enforcement officers asked the homeowner to remove the van or face a fine, Locke was report-edly tasked with contacting the locksmith and getting it off the property.

Locke instead contacted a buyer, reportedly telling him he had a van with tools for sale around $600 or $450 if he could pick it up in time for Locke to pay probation fees. The van’s con-tents were valued over $10,000.

The buyer gave Locke a $200 down payment, he said, and hauled away the van. When the friend and locksmith realized the van was sold, they called the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Locke was charged with grand theft auto, grand theft for the tools and dealing in stolen property.

CLERMONTMen arrested for Clermont Chinese restaurant burglaries

One of two men arrested in Osceola County in connection to a string of Chinese restau-rant burglaries was transported to Lake County Wednesday.

Carlos Javier Rios-Labrador, 28, a suspect in three Clermont burglaries targeting Chinese restaurants, where money was stolen from cash registers and tip jars and the businesses were left in disarray.

He and his alleged accomplice, Santos Milave-Ramon, 55, were arrested in Osceola in connec-tion to another string of similar burglaries. Video surveillance was captured at multiple res-taurants, reportedly showing both men breaking in and steal-ing cash.

The two have been charged with similar burglaries by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, Volusia County Sher-iff’s Office, Lakeland Police Department, Sanford Police Department, Ocoee Police Department, and “possibly other jurisdictions” according to the warrant.

Rios-Labrador is currently being held in Lake County Jail on a $25,000 bond for three counts of burglary, three of criminal mischief and two of grand theft.

Authorities say a Florida man posted photos of his damaged vehicle on social media, telling friends he'd hit a deer. But the Florida Highway Patrol says 37-year-old Dwayne Drayton struck and killed 70-year-old Robert Henschel as he stood beside his disabled vehicle on Feb. 23. He was arrested Wednesday.

An arrest report says a wit-ness told troopers a maroon Mustang drove away from the crash scene.

Anonymous callers contacted troopers after seeing Drayton's photos.

Troopers say Drayton had cleaned his car when they took possession, but DNA evidence matching Henschel was on the windshield.

A l e a d h u r r i c a n e forecast has upped its storm count slightly for the 2019 storm season as questions about the staying power of El Niño swirl.

The updated forecast from Colorado State University is calling for a near-average season with 14 named storms, including six hurricanes and two major hurri-canes of Category 3 or higher. The 14 storms include Subtropical Storm Andrea, which formed in late May prior to the official June 1 start date of hurricane season.

An April forecast from CSU called for a slightly below-average season.

“We currently antici-pate that current weak El Niño event condi-tions will persist, but some anomalous cool-ing in recent weeks weakens our confidence in this assessment,” the updated forecast notes.

A n o r m a l s e a s o n , which runs between June 1 and Nov. 30, has 12 named storms, including six hurricanes and three major hurricanes.

F R U I T L A N D P A R K — During a recent City Commission meeting, the Fruitland Park Library accepted a $10,000 dona-tion from the Bell family for its new children's garden, which will include a giant 12-by-12-foot chess board and a sensory butterfly garden.

The garden will honor the memory of Virgil Bell, who passed away at 91. Virgil was the father of current Fruitland Park Commis-sioner Christopher Bell and the grandfather-in-law of current Lake County Com-missioner Josh Blake.

“Virgil was one of our favorite patrons at the l i b r a r y , ” s a i d J o - A n n Glendinning, Fruitland Park Library director, in a press release.

Virgil was a self-taught artist who sought inspiration from pictures in children’s books. His talents spanned various mediums, including

ceramics, sculpture, paint-ing and pen and ink drawing.

He also created 22 original pen and ink drawings of his-torical homes and landmarks

in Fruitland Park. His canvas drawings will be featured at the new Fruitland Park Library, as well as a person-alized plaque in his honor.

“At the time of Virgil’s passing, I told Christopher Bell what my plans were for the children’s garden at the new library,” Glendinning said. “The children’s garden is my way of paying homage to him.”

The Virgil Bell Memorial Gardens will be located on the children’s department side of the new Fruitland Park Library, located at 604 W. Berckman St. in Fruitland Park, a few blocks away from its current location.

Construction for the new library was finished in December 2018, and the library is now in the process of being furnished as staff prepares for its grand open-ing on July 19.

TAVARES — The blanks were filled in during a city

The information — con-cerning operating costs and

tax increases as requested by Councilman Kirby Smith — was revealed by City Administrator John Drury and came after a council decision last month to let voters decide whether to move forward with a bond issue for the construction of the facility.

“It’s a huge decision and I’ll support it either way,” said Mayor Troy Singer.

According to officials, the plan is for the city to seek a $27 million bond issue at a 4 percent interest rate (or whatever the market

GROVELAND — Though school is out, kids filled the halls at Gray Middle School to participate in a week-long day camp run by Lake County Sheriff’s deputies.

While the deputies ran the

show, kids ages 8-12 and a small set of teens learned new skills and ways to com-municate over the five-day summer camp.

“Harmony in the Streets,” a camp run through a part-nership with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Lake County Schools and the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, gave students the opportunity to learn new skills, communication

techniques and a little about law enforcement. Alongside them, teens from the area took on their first volunteer opportunity of the summer, helping campers navigate the week’s activities.

Stella “Shirleen” Courtoy Rutig, 81, passed away at the Villages on Monday, June 3, 2019, surrounded by family. Shirleen is predeceased by her husband, James “Jimmy” Dominic Rutig, parents John “Ernest” and Olivia Ellen Day Courtoy and her brother, Richard “Dayle” Courtoy.

Leesburg. Her childhood was influenced by her grandparents Ernon and Stella Day of Wildwood and Morris St. John and Salley Ann Ward Courtoy of Leesburg. Shirleen was a loving daughter to Ernest & Olivia, a devoted mother to her three children, James Michael Rutig, Sandra Lynn Rutig, Nancy Kae Rutig (Gordon) Reid and an adored Nana to Nicole (Sean) Blevins, Katie (Travis) Blevins and Jamie (Greg) Jamanila.

there are ways to impart knowledge all the while.

“We try to wrap having fun into also looking to solve a problem,” Godwin said. Kids take on challenge courses and participate in group activities throughout the week.

Activities get kids talking, then challenge courses force them to learn to communicate under pressure to reach a common goal.

On Tuesday, Godwin said, kids were given a tangled rope and each had to keep their right hand on it and figure out how to untangle it. It didn’t take much time before infighting occurred, Godwin said, but kids found it became easy when they relied on clear communication.

K i d s a t t h e c a m p also tried their hand at other skill-based tasks, like archery, in which school resource Deputy Thomas Brown is a cer-tified instructor. Kids used compound bows and arrows to shoot tar-gets under the guidance of Brown and another deputy. They run the archery course each day of the week, he said, and often, kids come back the next year having entered competitions or learned to hunt with their families.

And for the teen volun-teers, who take on the title of “leaders-in-training,” it’s all about learning what it takes to be a leader.

S e a n a n d J o s e p h Hosein, twin brothers and first-time volunteers, said they mostly worked with kids in the arts and

crafts area, leading kids through creative pro-cesses and helping them build things.

Joseph said he and his brother were fortunate they never felt like yelling at a kid, but they’ve been able to watch as depu-ties managed the kids and kept situations from escalating.

Being surrounded by people who are consid-ered leaders in their daily lives and who are, ide-ally, ready to de-escalate

potential crises is a good learning experience, he said.

interest rate is at the time of implementation) for 20 years for the performing arts center.

In examples given by the city:

• A homeowner with a homesteaded property with an assessed value of $150,000 would see a tax hike of $220.32 per year. Broken down, that means $18.36 per month or 60 cents per day.

• For a non-home-steaded property with an assessed value of $150,000, the tax would be $330.49 per year, or $27.54 per month/91 cents per day.

• A b u s i n e s s w i t h an assessed value of $250,000 would pay $550.91 per year, or $45.90 per month/$1.51

per day.“I look at the cost of the

performing arts center in just sort of three big chunks. There’s the cost of construction, that’s

one. Then you have the cost of operating and maintaining, and then you have the cost for per-formances,” Drury said.

Drury said taxpayers

would be bearing the costs for the construction, operation and mainte-nance of the center, while t h e c o s t s a s s o c i a t e d with performances would

be paid by ticket holders.In return, residents

w o u l d g e t a f a c i l i t y with benefits and ame-n i t i e s i n c l u d i n g a n 800-seat theater and balcony, offices and stor-age to support the center that would be located next to City Hall, a 400-space adjoining parking garage and a fountain at the entrance.

The proposed perform-ing arts center, designed by Haskell and Company of Jacksonville, incor-porates red brick and a traditional appearance after a more contempo-rary glass-walled building with a higher price tag ($35 million to $61 million) was derailed after a handful of residents objected.

“At least now we have solid facts, so thank you for that,” Smith said d u r i n g W e d n e s d a y ' s meeting.

To help residents cal-culate individual tax

amounts, the city is imple-menting a “plug and play portal” on its website.

Drury said when the portal is up and running in about 30-60 days, taxpay-ers will be able to enter in their property information and the tax amount they would be expected to pay each year will be calculated in an annual, monthly and daily breakdown.

City spokesman Mark O’Keefe, who is designing the portal, said people will need to enter their address or the property's "altkey" number, which can be found on their property tax bills, or TRIM notices.

“I think that’s a great idea,” Singer said after the meeting about the plug-and-play portal. “That way, they (residents) can see exactly what they will be paying and make an informed decision of whether or not it’s the direction they want to go.”

evil in World War II.Macron praised their

courage, generosity and strength of spirit that made them press on “to help men and women they didn’t know, to lib-erate a land most hadn’t seen before, for no other c a u s e b u t f r e e d o m , democracy.”

He expressed France’s debt to the United States for freeing his coun-try from the reign of the Nazis. Macron awarded five American veterans with the Chevalier of Legion of Honor, France’s highest award.

“We know what we owe to you, veterans, our free-dom,” he said, switching from French to English. “On behalf of my nation I just want to say ‘thank you.’”

D-Day was history’s largest air and sea inva-sion, involving around 160,000 troops on that day itself and many more in the ensuing Battle of Normandy. Of those 73,000 were from the United States, while 83,000 were from Brit-ain and Canada. Troops started landing overnight from the air, then were joined by a massive force by sea on the beaches code-named Omaha, Utah, Juno, Sword and Gold, carried by 7,000 boats.

The second day of cer-emonies moved to France after spirited commemo-rations a day earlier in Portsmouth, England, the main embarkation point for the transport boats.

Leaders, veterans, their families and the grateful from France, Europe and elsewhere were present for the solemn day that began under a radiant sun.

At dawn, hundreds of people, civilians and mil-itary alike, hailing from around the world, gath-ered at the water’s edge to remember the troops who stormed the forti-fied Normandy beaches to help turn the tide of the war and give birth to a new Europe.

Dick Jansen, 60, from the Netherlands, drank Canadian whisky from an enamel cup on the water’s edge. Others scattered carnations into the waves. Randall Atanay, the son of a medic who tended to the dying and wounded, waded barefoot into the water near Omaha Beach, where the waters ran red on D-Day.

Up to 12,000 people gathered hours later at the ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery, where Macron and Trump spoke. U.S. veterans, their numbers fast diminishing as years pass, were the guests of honor.

A 21-gun salute thun-dered into the waters below the cemetery, on a bluff overlooking Omaha Beach, and across the rows of white crosses and Stars of David. The final resting places of more than 9,380 of the fallen stretched out before the

guests.B r i t a i n ’ s P r i n c e

Charles, his wife, Camilla, and Prime Minister The-resa May attended a remembrance service at the medieval cathedral in Bayeux, the first Nor-mandy town liberated by Allied troops after D-Day. Cardinal Marc Ouellet read a message from Pope Francis honoring those who “gave their lives for freedom and peace.”

Hundreds of people p a c k e d t h e s e a s i d e square in the town of Arromanches to applaud veterans of the Battle of Normandy. A wreath was placed outside the town’s D-Day Museum.

At daybreak, a lone piper played in Mulberry Harbor, exactly 75 years after British troops came ashore at Gold Beach.

“It is sobering, surreal to be able to stand here on this beach and admire the beautiful sunrise where they came ashore, being shot at, facing unspeakable atrocities,” said 44-year-old former U.S. paratrooper Richard Clapp, of Julian, North Carolina.

Gratitude was a power-ful common theme.

Macron thanked those who did not survive the assault “so that France could become free again” at an earlier ceremony overlooking Gold Beach with May and uniformed

veterans to lay the cor-nerstone of a memorial that will record the names of thousands of troops under British command who died on D-Day and the ensuing Battle of Normandy.

“If one day can be said to have determined the fate of generations to come, in France, in Brit-ain, in Europe and the world, that day was the 6th of June, 1944,” May said.

As the sun rose that morning, not one of the thousands of men arriv-ing in Normandy “knew whether they would still be alive when the sun set once again,” she said.

Passing on memories is especially urgent, with hundreds of World War II veterans now dying every day.

Canadian Prime Minis-ter Justin Trudeau hailed those who sacrificed their lives on the Nor-mandy beaches for future

generations, “for you and me.”

Speaking at Juno Beach where 14,000 Canadians landed, Trudeau said they “took a gamble the world had never seen before.”

He lauded the result-ing world order including the United Nations and NATO that have helped preserve peace and called it “the responsibility of all Canadians to ensure that their story and their sacrifice will never be forgotten.”

A group of five Ameri-cans parachuted into Normandy on Wednesday as part of a commemora-tive jump and showed up on the beach Thurs-d a y m o r n i n g s t i l l wearing their jumpsuits, all World War II-era uniforms, and carrying an American flag. The group included Clapp, and all five expressed concern the feats and sac-rifices of D-Day are being forgotten.

“If you forget history, it’s doomed to repeat itself,” Clapp said.

“I have all kinds of friends buried,” said 98-year-old William Tymchuk, who served with the 4th Canadian Armored Division during some of the deadliest fighting after the Nor-mandy landings.

“They were young. They got killed. They couldn’t come home,” he added.

Then Tymchuk teared up.

“Sorry,” he said. “They couldn’t even know what life is all about.”

The D-Day invasion was a defining moment of military strategy con-founded by unpredictable weather and human chaos in which soldiers from

the U.S., Britain, Canada and other Allied nations applied relentless bravery to carve out a beachhead on ground that Nazi Ger-many had occupied for four years.

“The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory,” Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower predicted in his order of the day.

The Battle of Nor-m a n d y , c o d e n a m e d Operation Overlord, has-tened Germany’s defeat less than a year later.

Still, that single day cost the lives of 4,414 Allied troops, 2,501 of them Americans. More than 5,000 were injured. On the German side,

several thousand were killed or wounded.

From there, Allied troops would advance their fight, take Paris in late summer and march in a race with the Soviet Red Army to control as much German territory as possible by the time Adolf Hitler died in his Berlin bunker and Germany sur-rendered in May 1945.

The Soviet Union also fought valiantly against the Nazis — and lost more people than any other nation in World War II — but those final battles would divide Europe for decades between the West and the Soviet-con-trolled East, the face-off line of the Cold War.

CHICAGO — Some younger workers aren’t particularly thrilled to see a rising share of older Americans forgo retirement and continue working, according to a recent poll by The Asso-c i a t e d P r e s s - N O R C Center for Public Affairs Research.

The poll found that workers under the age of 50 were significantly more likely to view Amer-ica’s aging workforce as a negative development when compared with their older counterparts. About 4 in 10 respon-dents ages 18 to 49 and 44% of the youngest respondents ages 18 to 29 said they consider the trend to be a bad thing for American workers. Just 14% of those age 60 and over said the same.

“I don’t think in things like IT and medicine you’re as effective a worker (at 65 years old) as you are at 50,” says Katie Otting, a 29-year-old living near San Diego. “If some 65-year-old is in a position that he’s not ready to quit because he wants a better pension and there’s someone else ready to take that job, they’re not going to replace him.”

An aging population, elevated health care costs and lingering financial uncertainty following the Great Recession all are believed to be contribut-ing to America’s steadily g r a y i n g w o r k f o r c e . Nearly 20% of Americans over the age of 65 were employed or actively looking for work last year, up from less than

12% two decades prior, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But the increased prev-alence of older workers has led some to believe seniors are holding back the country’s economic momentum by remain-ing in the workforce. Men were slightly more likely than women to cite the aging workforce as a problem for U.S. workers (32% to 27. And about a third (34%) of more afflu-ent respondents earning more than $100,000 annually said the same, slightly more than the 24% of those earning less than $30,000 who said so.

By contrast, about 6 in 10 Americans age 60 and over say the trend has actually been a good thing for the economy, compared with 3 in 10 Americans under 30 who think that.

About a third of Ameri-cans under 50 who have noticed the trend in their own workplace believe the aging workforce has negative implications for their own careers.

“One of the myths that’s out there causing younger and older people to butt heads is the idea that ‘Oh, it’s because these older people are on the job prevent-ing me from getting the job I want,’” says Steve Burghardt, a 74-year-old professor of social work at the City University of New York who thinks Americans are “looking for someone younger or someone older to blame” for inequality, job dis-placement and other economic problems.

Research is mixed on the aging workforce’s

overall impact on the U.S. economy. Adam Ozimek, a senior economist at Moody’s Analytics, says his prior research efforts have suggested a growing population of older work-ers can slow productivity and ultimately hamper wage growth for the rest of the labor market.

But he says there’s little evidence to sug-gest that the presence of older workers is “crowd-ing younger workers out of promotions,” noting that many of the work-ers who would naturally move up and replace positions currently held by baby boomers are not millennials but rather middle-aged members of Generation X.

“In anxious times, we look for scapegoats. And old people are a ready scapegoat, especially if you are forced out of having a public pres-ence or are forced (out of a job),” says Ashton Applewhite, a New York-based writer and ageism activist.

The idea that older workers are keeping jobs away from younger Americans, preventing them from moving up the corporate ladder into higher ranking, higher paying positions, is not a new one. But econo-mists say it doesn’t have much basis in economic reality.

“The more of those seniors continue to w o r k , t h a t m e a n s they’re also spending. And that spending helps build a rich economy that gives you jobs and lots of opportunities,” says Andrew Chamber-lain, chief economist at employment hub

Glassdoor.But Chamberlain and

Ozimek say it might be

easier to believe older workers are holding back their younger counter-parts when looking at the economy on a smaller scale. One particular company, for example, may only employ one chief of marketing. S h o u l d t h a t p e r s o n choose to remain in the workforce until he or she is 80 years old, lower ranking employees may perceive a lack of upward mobility.

A comparable job may be ripe for the taking elsewhere, Chamberlain says, but it may be at another company or in another city that would require a move that many employees may be unwilling to make.

“They feel like their opportunities are only within that firm,” Cham-berlain says. “I think it’s just simple confusion. I think people are mixing up (opportunities) just inside one company versus the overall job market.”

Meanwhile, many older workers are coming to terms with the fact that they’ll need to remain in the workforce to keep their heads above water or maintain their current lifestyles.

Mitch Rothschild, 61, lives and works in New York City and says he expects he is “probably going to have to work until I die.” He says the aging workforce is less of an economic problem and more of a financial real-ity to which workers of all ages need to adapt.

“Hey, look, I wished I’d been skiing in the Alps since I was 40,” he says. “But you think I’m going to stop working a year from now and rely on Social Security for the next 20 years? No.”

Poll: Some young workers view the aging workforce negatively

By Sophia Tareen and Michael TarmThe Associated Press

C H I C A G O — R & B singer R. Kelly pleaded not guilty to 11 additional sex-related charges on Thursday, including four counts that carry a maxi-mum prison term of 30 years in prison.

Prosecutors did not ask the judge to raise the bond amount for Kelly during the brief hearing in Cook County court.

Kelly stood with his hands folded in front of him and listened to Judge Lawrence Flood describe the charges to him. When Flood asked if he under-stood, Kelly, responded, “Yes, sir.” The Grammy award-winning singer, w h o h a s d e n i e d a n y wrongdoing, left without speaking to reporters. A status hearing was

scheduled for June 26.A m o n g t h e 1 1 n e w

counts are four counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault, which carries a sentence of up to 30 years in prison. That is more than four times as long as the maximum term for each of the 10 counts Kelly was origi-nally charged with in February.

Kelly’s defense attor-ney, Steve Greenberg, said after the hearing that he couldn’t speculate as to why prosecutors brought the new charges, which pertain to one of the four women he was charged in February with sexually abusing years ago, three of whom were minors when the alleged abuse occurred.

“It’s the same case. It’s just that they’ve just changed what they’ve c h a r g e d h i m w i t h , ” Greenberg said. “It’s the same facts ... the same bond, the same evidence. We expect the same result.”

Asked how Kelly is coping, Greenberg said, “It’s tough. Everything is against him.”

Kelly’s spokesman, Darryll Johnson, told reporters that Kelly is “upbeat.”

“Initially, he was a little depressed,” Johnson said. “But I mean, with any-thing, if someone accuses you of something, you’ll be depressed. He knows the truth.”

According to the new indictment, the first eight counts are from encounters that allegedly occurred between Jan. 1 and Jan. 31, 2010. Three others pertain to alleged e n c o u n t e r s b e t w e e n May 1, 2009, and Jan. 31, 2010.

Among other things, prosecutors allege that Kelly used force or threat-ened to do so to pressure the accuser into sex or to perform oral sex on him. Since she was underage at the time, the statute of limitations for bringing charges was extended to 20 years from her 18th birthday, they wrote.

A woman has come for-ward to say publicly that 11 new felony counts stem from allegations she made about the R&B singer.

Jerhonda Pace wrote on her Facebook page that she’s the accuser iden-tified as “J.P.” in court documents. Anticipat-ing an angry reaction by Kelly’s fans, Pace — one of four women Kelly is charged with sexually abusing — wrote that “no matter how “wrong” you think I am, the law is on my side, a MINOR at the time.”

The Associated Press doesn’t usually name alleged victims of sexual assault, but Pace has gone public with her allegations.

Trump, who is cur-rently traveling in Europe, tweeted from Ireland that the Washington talks would continue “with the understanding that, if no agreement is reached, Tariffs at the 5% level will begin on Monday, with monthly increases as per schedule.”

Mexican Foreign Sec-retary Marcelo Ebrard was at the State Depart-ment Thursday morning, and additional talks were expected in the after-noon at the White House, t h o u g h i t r e m a i n e d unclear what kind of deal could be struck with Trump out of the coun-try. U.S. officials were preparing for the tariffs to kick in barring major Mexican action.

“We’ll see what hap-p e n s , ” T r u m p t o l d r e p o r t e r s i n I r e l a n d before leaving for France to attend a D-Day cer-emony. “But something pretty dramatic could h a p p e n . W e ’ v e t o l d

Mexico the tariffs go on. And I mean it, too. And I’m very happy with it.”

Back in Washington, White House spokes-woman Mercedes Schlapp said in an interview t h a t c o n v e r s a t i o n s were continuing but “it looks like we’re moving toward this path of tar-iffs because what we’ve seen so far is that the Mexicans, what they’re proposing, is simply not enough.”

Vice President Mike Pence, who led the dis-cussions Wednesday with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other U.S. officials, echoed Trump: “We made clear to them that President Trump is going to continue to stand firm until we bring this crisis of illegal immi-gration on our southern border to an end.”

During Wednesday’s talks, the gulf between the countries was clear as Mexico offered small, thus far undisclosed concessions and the U.S. demanded major action. A senior administration official said the U.S. once again pressed Mexico to enter into a “safe third country agreement” that would make it difficult for those who enter Mexico

from other countries to claim asylum in the U.S. Mexico has long resisted that request.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the closed-door meeting.

Trump officials have also said Mexico can prevent the tariffs by securing its southern border with Guatemala and cracking down on criminal smuggling orga-nizations. But the U.S. has not proposed any con-crete metrics to assess whether Mexico is com-plying, and it is unclear whether even those steps would be enough to sat-isfy Trump on illegal immigration, a signature issue of his presidency and one that he sees as crucial to his 2020 re-election campaign.

E b r a r d , h o w e v e r , d e s c r i b e d t h e t a l k s as “cordial” and told reporters at the Mexican Embassy that both sides had acknowledged “the current situation cannot keep going” because of the surge in migrant flows.

Beyond Trump and several White House advisers, few in the administration believe imposing tariffs is a good

idea, according to offi-cials familiar with internal deliberations. Those people worry about the negative economic con-sequences for Americans and believe the tariffs — which would likely spark retaliatory taxes on U.S. exports — would also hurt the administration politically, according to these officials who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

T h e t a r i f f s c a r r y e n o r m o u s e c o n o m i c implications for both countries, and politically they underscore a major ideological split between Trump and his party. Trump has increasingly relied on tariffs as a blud-geon to try to force other nations to bend to his will, dismissing warnings, including from fellow Republicans, about the likely impacts on Ameri-can manufacturers and consumers.

R e p u b l i c a n s i n C o n g r e s s h a v e b e e n threatening their own c o n f r o n t a t i o n w i t h Trump, warning the White House that they are ready to stand up to the president to try to block his tariffs, which they

worry would spike costs to U.S. consumers, harm the economy and imperil a major pending U.S.-Mex-ico-Canada trade deal .

The Republican presi-dent slammed his critics, accusing Democrats of not wanting to fix U.S. immigration laws. And he went after those who have criticized the tariff threat. A “lot of people, senators included — they have no idea what they’re talk-ing about when it comes to tariffs,” Trump said. “They have no — abso-lutely no idea.”

Trump himself rou-tinely mischaracterizes

who pays for tariffs, wrongly insisting it is the countries he levies them on rather than U.S. importers and often American consumers who face higher prices when costs are passed along.

Without a deal, the first tariffs — 5% taxes on imports from Mexico, eventually increasing to 25% — are to go into effect next Monday. Trump has been seething for months about the spike in migrant crossings and has proposed increasingly drastic action, including completely sealing the U.S.-Mexico border.

compatriots and to mil-lions yet unborn.”

H e p a i d p a r t i c u -lar attention to the few surviving members of that day who likely are witnessing their final remembrance of argu-ably the world’s most famous battle, singling out a few by tell ing their personal stories. He described D-Day participants as “among the very greatest Ameri-cans who will ever live.”

“Those who fought here won a future for our nation. They won the sur-vival of our civilization and they showed us the way to love, cherish and defend our way of life for many centuries to come,” Trump said.

What has often been described as America’s “greatest generation” was no less extraordinary in peace, Trump said, crediting them for build-ing a “national culture that inspired the entire world.”

T r u m p w a s j o i n e d by French President Emmanuel Macron, who told American D-Day veterans that “France doesn’t forget” what they sacrificed for his coun-try’s liberty from Nazi Germany.

“We know what we owe to you veterans: our free-dom,” Macron said. “On behalf of my nation, I just want to say, thank you.”

T r u m p , w h o p a r -ticipated in a D-Day

c o m m e m o r a t i o n i n Portsmouth, England , on Wednesday, said in France that America’s veterans are the pride of the U.S.

After the program and a gun salute, Trump, Macron and their wives walked to an overlook above Omaha Beach, the scene of the bloodi-est fighting. They stood silently as a bugler played “Taps” and surveyed a map of the invasion. They also watched as fighter jets and other air-craft, including some that streaked the sky with red, white and blue smoke, flew overhead. At the cemetery, Melania Trump placed a bouquet of white flowers at the base of a cross-shaped headstone.

Trump and Macron then traveled separately to Caen, France, for a meeting and lunch before Trump returns to his golf course in Ireland.

Trump reflected on the commemoration as he sat with Macron and explained that guides had described how D-Day was executed. He said he was struck by the high death toll as the initial waves of troops came ashore.

“It’s a lot of courage, and a lot of heartbreak, but an incredible victory,” Trump said.

In his speech, the pres-ident said Americans of all stripes are drawn to the shores of Normandy “as though it were a part of our very soul.” Many of the men who lost their lives here “ran through the fires of hell, moved by a force no weapon could destroy — the fierce

patriotism of a free, proud and sovereign people.”

The cemetery contains grave markers for more than 9,300 American servicemen. Trump noted that each marker has been adopted by a French

family and that people come from all over France to “look after our boys.”

“ T o d a y A m e r i c a embraces the French people and thanks you for honoring our beloved war dead,” Trump said.

MILAN — Fiat Chrys-ler’s surprise decision to withdraw a merger offer with French car-maker Renault stunned the industry, collapsing Thursday on fundamen-tal differences over when Renault’s long-time alli-ance partner, Nissan, would be brought in.

The merger plan, which had sought to create the world’s third-largest automaker, had been viewed positively across the industry since it was announced last week. And it appeared to be a done-deal when the Renault board met for a second day in Paris on Wednesday evening.

But Fiat Chrysler Chair-man John Elkann decided to withdraw the offer as the Renault board meeting entered the early morning

hours after the French government - Renault’s top shareholder with a 15% stake - asked for more time to seek Nissan’s blessing.

A person in Italy who has been close to the talks said both the French government and Nissan had agreed during the course of months-long negotiations that the Fiat Chrysler-Renault merger would happen first, and then the future of the alli-ance would be considered at a later stage.

The person said France essentially backtracked this week when it said it wanted the backing of Nissan before agree-ing to start working on the details of a potential merger.

“A merger cannot be subject to external con-ditions,” said the person, adding that withdrawing the offer was not a nego-tiating tactic. The person spoke only on condition of anonymity because details

of the negotiations were not publicly disclosed.

In a statement, Fiat Chrysler cited “politi-cal conditions in France” for its withdrawal. The company said it had no hard feelings with either Renault or its alliance partner Nissan, thanking them both for their “con-structive engagement.”

The French government hit back by characterizing Fiat Chrysler’s behavior as “pushy,” blaming it for placing “massive pres-sure” to quickly take the offer or leave it. They later softened their tones, indi-cating there might be room for future negotiation.

“We have closed no doors,” said an official at France’s Economy Ministry who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the negotiations.

Renault said it was dis-appointed over the lost opportunity but also talked about the offer in the pres-ent tense, indicating there

was still hope to revive it: “We view the opportunity as timely, having compel-ling industrial logic and great financial merit, and which would result in a European-based global auto powerhouse.”

In Italy, a representa-tive of the powerful metal mechanics union also expressed hope that the withdrawal was a tactic to restart negotiations, blaming Nissan and the French for complicating talks.

A n a l y s t s P h i l i p p e Houchois and Himanshu Agarwal from research firm Jefferies noted that the Fiat Chrysler state-m e n t w a s c a r e f u l l y worded in a way “to leave the door open to further discussion.”

News of the plan’s fail-ure mainly hurt Renault’s shares, which tumbled 7% to 52.45 euros, in early trading. Fiat Chrysler’s share price recovered from an early dip trading flat at

11.65 euros.From the time merger

was proposed, it was clear that the French gov-ernment’s position and Renault’s alliance with Nissan could be sticking points.

The French government said Thursday that it had placed four conditions on the deal during talks.

It demanded that any merger be completed as part of the existing alli-ance between Renault and Nissan, preserve French jobs and factories, respect the governance balance between Renault and Fiat Chrysler, and ensure participation in an electric battery initiative with Germany.

“An agreement had been reached on three of these conditions. It remained to obtain explicit support from Nissan,” said French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire.

Le Maire asked for five days to secure Nissan’s

support.Nissan had earlier

expressed reservations about the merger deal, saying it raised ques-tions about its alliance with Renault. On Thurs-day, Nissan declined to comment on the latest developments.

Le Maire is traveling to Japan this weekend to meet with Nissan officials on a previously arranged visit.

Most industry experts praised the proposed 50-50 merger, saying each side bought strengths that covered up the other’s weaknesses.

The combined com-pany would have produced some 8.7 million vehicles a year, more than General Motors and trailing only Volkswagen and Toyota. It would have saved an estimated 5 billion euros ($5.62 billion) per year in purchasing expenses and costs developing autono-mous and electric vehicles.

S adly, Florida is one highly partisan state these days.

How can that be when Florida’s voters are almost split 50-50 in presidential elections?

Well, on a neighborhood and community level, Florid-ians tend to congregate with others of the same political persuasions; add up all of those neighborhoods and com-munities and it leads to lots of narrow statewide elections.

The revelation that Florida is a highly partisan state comes from a massive study conducted by the Atlan-tic magazine; ironically, the Atlantic was search-ing for the nation’s least partisan counties.

The Atlantic concluded that Jefferson County in upstate New York is the least partisan county in America, largely because people in Jefferson County are less likely to see their political opponents as less patriotic or more selfish.

How rare is that in our country today? According to a 2018 survey, 45 percent of Democrats and 35 per-cent of Republicans would be unhappy if their child married someone from the opposite political party.

Seriously.“Democrats now think Republicans are richer, older,

crueler and more unreasonable than they are in real life,” according to the Atlantic. “Republicans think Democrats are more godless, gay and radical than they actually are. The more righteous we get, the more mistakes we make.”

The Atlantic’s analysis revealed that the most judg-mental partisans tend to be white, urban, older, highly educated, politically engaged and politically segregated.

Jefferson County’s demographics are pretty much the reverse: the county has a sizable number of fairly young people who aren’t particularly segregated — and 1 in 4 couples in Jefferson are politically mixed.

The Atlantic put together a list of traits to determine the partisanship level of counties; the magazine then gave each county an overall score on a scale of 0 (for a county that isn’t partisan at all) to 100 (for a county that is extremely partisan). Lake County scored a 97.

What does all of this mean for the nation? For one, it explains why “compromise” is viewed as “defeat.” It probably also explains why the big issues that face us are stuck in partisan gridlock.

The Atlantic story didn’t explore how people in the var-ious counties were consuming their news, but it stands to reason that many Americans simply stick to getting their news from sources that confirm their beliefs — in other words, they’re only interested in “news of affirmation.”

“Our stereotypes have outpaced real-ity,” The Atlantic summarized.

So what can we do about it? We should seek out good journalism that is balanced and be open to new ideas. And we should be willing to be acknowledge when myths, urban legends and fake news are, well, myths, urban legends and fake news — even when they come from our side of the political aisle.

The Atlantic suggests cultivating friendships across divides — and seeking humility and curios-ity over indignation and righteousness; both are great ideas that are well worth embracing.

In addition to lowering our scores on the Atlantic’s par-tisan scale, they might lower our blood pressure rates, too.

Partisanship runs high in Florida


By Jennifer Rubin

The past 48 hours should remind Demo-crats and the rest of

the country of the neces-sity of picking a candidate capable of beating President Donald Trump in 2020.

Imagine a president who will not go overseas to insult the mayor of the capital of the host country, conduct petty feuds against the media via Twitter, lie about his own insults or stick his nose into the domestic affairs of other countries. Imagine a president who could draw a bigger crowd to cheer him than to pro-test against him. And, yes, imagine a president who would not award important jobs and security clear-ances to ill-prepared, unqualified, conflicted and dense relatives who lack a basic appreciation of their duty of loyalty to American democracy.

None of that — a normal

presidency — is possible without the selection of a viable Democratic nomi-nee. (With Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan declaring himself uninterested and former Ohio governor John Kasich declaring he doesn’t see a path for himself in a GOP primary, the chances for a competitive primary challenger are fading.)

The latest Morning Con-sult poll shows former vice president Joe Biden retains his huge lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. — 38 percent to 19 percent over-all, 40 percent to 18 percent in early primary states. Democratic voters like Biden (76 percent approval) and trust him. Unless he stumbles in the debates or makes some other hor-rendous error — and maybe not even then — he might not break a sweat in tallying up wins in the early primary states. That’s why Sanders is harshly attacking Biden, and why the most progressive

activists are getting nervous.If Biden is to be beaten,

there is a strong case to be made that it won’t be by Sanders, whose decision simply to rerun his 2016 campaign has cost him momentum and enthusi-asm. If Democrats are going to go with an older white guy, they might as well pick someone whom Trump won’t bludgeon as a socialist.

Chances are that if progres-sives are going to take down Biden, they will have to rally behind one of three contend-ers — Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., or South Bend, Indi-ana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

Warren has carved out a distinct third-place spot in polling and has adeptly distinguished herself as the candidate “with a plan for that” — “that” meaning just about every challenge fac-ing the United States. The debates will test her abil-ity to defend herself with-out sounding defensive

and alleviate concerns that she won’t be able to stand up to Trump’s bullying.

Harris already has shown that she’s no pushover, but the debates will require her to sharpen her policy pro-posals and avoid the mushy “we should discuss that” sort of answers. Unless she displays verbal precision and offers more definitive statements on issues such as health care, she will be over-shadowed by Warren and the candidate whose verbal acu-ity is unmatched, Buttigieg.

Buttigieg has mesmerized audiences and the media with his intellect and wit. However, quick answers delivered off-the-cuff can also prove problematic (e.g. declaring that the Senate shouldn’t have pushed out Al Franken). Not all of But-tigieg’s clever ideas — e.g., selecting Republican and Democratic Supreme Court justices and then letting them pick the remainder — are going to hold up under

scrutiny. (On the court, the problem is that the justices already appear too overtly partisan.) However, in a debate, he can deliver a quick précis on foreign policy, show his comfort level with technology and make a good case that the baby boomers have sufficiently screwed up government to deserve a gold watch and a shove out the door. There is arguably more upside and more down-side in the debates for him than any other contender.

Two things are for certain. First, the longer the field remains huge, the better for Biden, who sails above the blur of lesser-knowns. Sec-ond, Biden very well might not beat himself, as the pun-dits expected; a not-Biden competitor is going to have to take it from him, and at this point it’s far from clear who’s best positioned to do that.

Which progressive could topple Biden?

By Karl W. Smith

C onservatives are currently engaged in a vicious intramural

debate over their future in the Republican Party. Like all such debates, it can seem opaque — even its partici-pants aren't always sure what they're arguing about — but the implications for both the tenor and content of Ameri-can politics are profound.

The debate is sprawling, but its contours are pretty well defined: One side wants to restore the old fusion between social and economic conservatism. The other wants to abandon it and embrace the authoritarian traditionalist vision embodied by President Donald Trump.

This is a false choice. There is no authoritarian traditional-ist future for the Republican Party. Meanwhile, the fusion-ist bargain has delivered pretty well for social conser-vatives, and may be their only hope for future relevance.

First, consider the case for abandonment, most passion-ately articulated by Sohrab Ahmari, the op-ed editor of the New York Post. One of Ahmari's points is that social conservatives naively bought into a Republican Party that has delivered tax cuts and great wealth to the top 1%, but done nothing to stop the decline of traditional values in American life. Consequently they should abandon that deal

and use their political power to push for a top-down restora-tion of traditional American values, such as the promo-tion of larger families and well-defined gender roles.

It is true that tax cuts have been the singular rallying point for the GOP, but the trends that social conserva-tives bemoan are the result of forces far beyond the power of public policy to shape. Social conservatives may be growing in power within the Republican Party, but America has been moving sharply to the left on social issues since the 1960s.

Ahmari acknowledges this trend, but suggests the way to stop it is to give more power to the federal govern-ment to restore some ideal of lost values. This approach was untenable in the 1960s and would be suicidal today. Even if traditionalists could have won on such a plat-form, they would have found themselves hard-pressed to carry it out: Using the federal government to impose val-ues, never mind implement policy, is harder than it seems.

Which bring us to Trump. The president is hardly a tradi-tionalist, but he is willing offer his services as a tireless pugilist against the Democratic Party. That rhetorical stance might get social conservatives like Ahmari excited, but look at the record. The Trump adminis-tration has struggled to fill the White House with competent

managers who agree on policy. The administration has had little success, for example, with one of its supposed main priorities, restricting immi-gration, largely because of confusion and infighting.

Actually, it's even worse than that: It's the wrong pol-icy, because it would under-mine support for traditional values. Most immigrants come from countries that are more traditionalist than the U.S. Admitting fewer of them into the country would accelerate the trends that social con-servatives bemoan. If tradi-tionalists are serious about changing American culture, they should embrace a cos-mopolitan vision of America.

If they don't, their future is as an ideological minority. In that case, their best hope is to double down on the small-government, civil-libertarian alliances that have kept them viable in U.S. politics. In fact, civil libertarians have emerged as the most effective defend-ers of traditionalists on First Amendment grounds.

In any case, there is no future in which traditional-ists are able to impose their vision on America. Buying into that rhetoric will only hasten social conservatives' decline.

The wrong vision for the Republican Party — and America

OPINION


By Kimberly MillerGateHouse Florida

A photo hobbyist taking pictures from the Mana-tee Pocket bridge near Stuart thought she got a shot of an alligator last week as sunlight sagged over the Treasure Coast bay.

But what her Nikon D850 caught in a silent shutter snap was some-thing much more special.

Back at home, sun-set-chaser Colleen Fox said she realized it was an American crocodile she had photographed in the twilight of June 2, an unusual find in areas north of Broward County and a “fortunate sighting” according to a University of Florida expert who reviewed the photo.

“The species is quite shy in Florida,” said Jen-nifer Nestler, a project manager for UF’s Croc Docs.

F l o r i d a F i s h a n d Wildlife officials also confirmed the image was of an American croco-dile. Fox estimates it was between 7 and 8-feet long.

While American croco-diles have been known to ramble as far as Cocoa Beach from their pre-ferred habitat at Florida’s mangrove-lined southern tip, the lengthy journey up the state’s brackish waterways or saltwater coast is rare.

Neslter said the near-est group of resident crocs to Manatee Pocket, which connects to the St. Lucie Inlet, is in Broward County.

But as the species recovers from its 1970s flirtation with extinc-tion, they may be a more common sight in the northern stretches of their historic range, said Zack Jud, director of education for the Florida Oceanographic Society in Stuart.

“Just like any organ-ism, there is only so much space in the best habitats and they can overflow as

the core habitats fill,” Jud said. “So it’s not unusual to see some individu-als striking out on their own.”

American crocodiles, distinguished from alli-gators by their ashen coloring and pointed snout, were named fed-erally as a endangered species in 1975 when there were estimated to be just 300 left in Florida — the only state in the country where crocodiles live in the wild.

Their development-driven demise has since been reversed and in 2007, crocodiles were d o w n g r a d e d f e d e r -ally from endangered to threatened with numbers now estimated at between 1,500 and 2,000.

Most live in Everglades National Park, Florida Bay and Biscayne Bay, building nests in the soft Earthen berms of FPL’s Turkey Point cooling canals and the exposed shoreline of Florida Bay.

venture north.In January 2018, prop-

erty manager Robert Recupito was driving a golf cart around the Emerald Pointe com-munity west of Delray Beach when he thought he saw some truck tires in a canal.

When he got closer, he realized the spikey nubs he noticed were the back of a crocodile.

“I couldn’t believe it,”

Recupito said this week.He called FWC and was

told to leave the toothy reptile alone and it would probably go away.

It did.“I look for him all the

time,” Recupito said. “I’m disappointed I haven’t seen him again.”

The June 2 sighting of a crocodile in Manatee Pocket came the same weekend two alliga-tors were removed from

beaches in Hobe Sound and Jacksonville — a fairly unusual occurrence during dry spells, Jud said.

In the wet season, big rains can wash alligators onto beaches, but they are not saltwater tolerant like crocodiles and can die if they are exposed to the ocean to long.

“Occasionally, younger gators are displaced by larger males and they have to strike out on their

own,” Jud said.The American croco-

dile can grow to 16 feet, and although it is con-sidered less aggressive than alligators, it has stirred controversy in the Florida Keys where it has become a more conspicu-ous resident and threat to pets.

In 2015, a pit bull ter-rier mix weighing up to 25 pounds was killed by a crocodile on the Key Biscayne golf course, according to a Miami Herald story. Three years earlier, a dog estimated to weigh 65 pounds was snatched from a Key Largo yard.

“Our crocs are mostly reclusive and shy and don’t present a threat to anyone,” Jud said. “In general, the biggest con-cern is your pet.”

FWC’s policy has been to leave crocodiles alone unless they are a nui-sance, but that changed last fall in the Keys.

FWC Capt. David Dipre told Islamorada Village Council members at a September meeting that officers will try to drive crocodiles away from res-idential areas by making them “as unhappy as they can be” with a lot of noise and by being a “harassing nuisance.”

“Hopefully, he will be disturbed living in that area so when we take him to another place, he will stay there,” Dipre said at the meeting. “At the first sign of trouble, we want the croc out of there.”

Colleen Fox, who pho-tographed the crocodile in the creek-fed Manatee Pocket, which extends from Port Salerno to the St. Lucie Inlet, said she feels lucky to have spot-ted a crocodile in the wild.

“If it was an alligator, it would be thrilling, but to get a crocodile is really unusual,” she said. “We share the water and the land with them and we should respect that.”

LEESBURG — Lake-Sumter State College expanded its athletic footprint in Novem-ber with the announcement that it was adding men’s and women’s cross country.

And now, the school is adding one more.

School officials announced recently the District Board of Trustees approved the addition of women's beach volleyball during their May meeting.

The team, which expects to begin play in 2020, will play its home matches at Hick-ory Point Recreation Park in Tavares.

“We are excited to begin the new emerging sport and for the partnership with Hickory Point and the (Florida Region of USA Volleyball),” said Mike Matulia, LSSC athletic direc-tor. “Our beach players will have access to a world-class facility and be one of the first state colleges in Florida to participate in this sport.”

Beach volleyball will be the

sixth intercollegiate sport at LSSC, along with indoor volleyball, baseball, softball, and men’s and women’s cross country.

It is the newest sport adopted by the National Junior College Athletic Asso-ciation, of which LSSC is a member. The NJCAA Board of Directors voted in April 2018 to make beach volleyball a varsity sport beginning with the 2018-19 school year.

According to LSSC Sports

The Women’s World Cup kicks off Friday in Paris. Twenty-four teams will tra-verse France for the next month in pursuit of soccer’s most prestigious trophy. Here are five players to watch during the tournament:

ALEX MORGAN, United States: Morgan was named the U.S. national team’s Player of the Year after she closed out 2018 with 18 goals in 19 games. She had seven goals during the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying tournament alone.

Morgan is a proven scorer: She also earned Player of the Year honors in 2012 when she had 28 goals and 21 assists, and helped the national team win an Olympic gold medal. Mia Hamm is the only other player to have 20-plus goals and assists during a single season.

The 29-year-old forward, who will have a birthday during the tournament in France, is playing in her third World Cup. She was the youngest player on the 2011 World Cup team, scoring a goal in the final match against Japan.

She scored her 100th goal with the national team in April — not bad for a late-bloomer who didn’t play club soccer until age 14.

Morgan, who also plays with the National Women’s Soccer League’s Orlando Pride, was named this year to Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people list.

CHRISTINE SINCLAIR, Canada: Sinclair is the most pro-lific scorer ever in Canadian soccer, and with 181 career goals she’s edging closer to former U.S. star Abby Wambach, who holds the international record — among men or women — with 184.

Sinclair has been the face of the Canadian women’s team for 19 years. Now 35, this tournament will be the soft-spoken captain’s fifth, and likely final, World Cup.

Canada has won bronze medals at the past two Olympics. But the closest the Canadians have come to a podium finish at the World Cup was in 2003, when they finished fourth.

From Burnaby, British Columbia, Sinclair won two NCAA championships at the University of Portland. She’s stayed in the Pacific North-west, and plays with the NWSL’s Portland Thorns.

MARTA, Brazil: Known by just her first name, Marta Vieira da Silva is a six-time FIFA World Player of the Year.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Ste-phen Curry did all he could to lead the injury-depleted Golden State Warriors.

It wasn’t enough.Curry scored 47 points

— a playoff career-high for the three-time champion — but the Warriors still find themselves in some postseason trouble. Miss-ing Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Kevon Looney with injuries, the Warriors fell 123-109 to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night and now trail these NBA Finals 2-1.

“Steph was incredible,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “The stuff he does is, he does things that honestly I don’t think anybody has ever done before. The way

he plays the game, the way he shoots it and the combi-nation of his ball handling and shooting skills, it’s

incredible to watch. He was amazing.”

Though it’s no consola-tion to Curry, his 47 points

were the second-most ever by a player in a finals game loss. The only time some-one scored more and wasn’t on the winning team that night was LeBron James, who scored 51 points on this same Oracle Arena floor in Game 1 of last year’s title series. Golden State wound up sweeping Cleveland.

Thompson didn’t play because of his strained left hamstring, Looney’s season is over because of an upper-body injury sustained in Game 2 and Durant sat out for the eighth consecutive game with a calf injury. Game 4 of this series is Friday, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see both Durant and Thompson back in the lineup for the two-time defending NBA champions.

Curry’s heroics not enough to save Warriors

PARIS — Amanda Ani-simova smacked one last backhand winner to com-plete her upset of defending champion Simona Halep in the French Open quarter-finals, flung her racket and covered her mouth with both hands.

Eyes wide, Anisimova then spread her arms with palms up and said, “What?!”

In a tournament filled with surprises, Anisimova provided the latest Thurs-day. Just 17 and ranked merely 51st, yet possess-ing the mindset and mien of someone much more expe-rienced and accomplished, the American withstood a late charge by Halep and won 6-2, 6-4 to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal.

“I don’t think it will sink in, at least not for today. Yeah, I mean, it’s crazy,” said Anisi-mova, who was born in New Jersey to Russian parents and moved to Florida when she was 3. “I really can’t believe the result today. And get-ting the opportunity to play against Simona, that’s amaz-ing. But how it ended is even crazier to me.”

That’s a fair assessment of the entire tournament. Serena Williams, No. 1 Naomi Osaka and No. 2 Karolina Pliskova lost in the third round; Angelique Kerber and Caroline Woz-niacki were gone in the first.

The highest-seeded player in the semifinals is No. 8 Ash Barty, the Australian who will face Anisimova. Barty advanced by beating No. 14 Madison Keys of the United States 6-3, 7-5.

“I felt,” Barty said, “like I was in control.”

The other semifinal is No.

26 Johanna Konta of Britain against unseeded 19-year-old Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic.

Because rain washed out all play Wednesday, the wom-en’s semifinals — normally Thursday, one after another in the main stadium — will be played simultaneously on the second- and third-largest courts Friday morning. The biggest arena will host the men’s semifinals: Rafael Nadal vs. Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic vs. Dominic Thiem. It’s the first time the top four men’s seeds are the last four standing at a major tournament since the 2013 Australian Open.

B O S T O N — T o d d Angilly’s co-workers have gotten used to him showing up late.

The TD Garden bar-tender often arrives after the opening faceoff when the Boston Bruins are playing at home, but he has a good excuse: He is two floors down, sing-ing the national anthem on the ice.

When he’s done, Ang-illy hustles back up to the suite-level sports bar to resume pouring drinks.

“The adrenaline’s definitely getting me through it,” Angilly said during a break at his full-time job as a proba-tion officer in the North Shore suburb of Salem. “I mean I definitely wanted to stay in bed a little bit this morning.

“But just knowing that, you know, my night is going to be pretty cool. That we’re hopefully gonna be a part of some-thing really special here,” he said. “So, yeah, got to see what happens. Let’s ride it out.”

The NHL has had a number of well-estab-l i s h e d a n d b e l o v e d anthem singers over the years, from Paul Lorieau (Edmonton) and Roger Doucet (Montreal) to Karen Newman (Detroit) and Jim Cornelison (Chicago). Some sing professionally.

The son of two music teachers, Angilly grew up participating in chorus and band before going to college to study educa-tion. While at Plymouth State, he performed in community shows and operas, and met a judge during a voice com-petition who was on the faculty at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and recommended he apply.

Thompson was lobbying to play Wednesday, and Durant has been ramping up toward a return.

The Warriors need them.

Or else their reign might end, no matter how great Curry is the rest of the way.

“The moment is now,” Curry said. “You’ve got to try to have a next-man-up mentality, like we always say, and just go out and fight. We did that tonight. We can play better, obviously better on the defensive end. But I liked the competitiveness that we had, understand-ing that we’re missing 50 points pretty much between KD and Klay.”

It was evident from the outset that if the Warriors were going to somehow win without both Thomp-son and Durant in the lineup, it would be Curry carrying the load.

He darn near made it happen.

“Not that he’s not amazing pretty often,” Warriors forward Dray-mond Green said, “but tonight was a special per-formance by him.”

Curry scored Golden State’s first five field goals. He had 25 points and eight rebounds by halftime, the first time in his 803-game career that he put up those numbers in the first 24 minutes of

a game. Midway through the third quarter, he was outscoring all of his team-mates combined. He had his entire arsenal working — 3-pointers, layups, free throws. He was diving for loose balls. He even won a jump ball.

He conceded nothing.Curry just didn’t have

enough help. Or, maybe more accurately, the Raptors had too many

answers.“We tried to up our

presence on him a little bit with some double teams, but it doesn’t really matter,” Raptors coach Nick Nurse said. “All that matters is ... my dad used to tell me the stats don’t matter, just the final score. So we’ll just take the win and be thankful for that.”

All five Toronto start-ers scored somewhere between 17 and 30 points. The Raptors made 17 3-pointers, Fred VanV-leet’s desperation 3 with just under 2 minutes left put Toronto up by 13, and that’s when Kerr decided to empty the bench.

Curry’s night ended there, with the eighth-h i g h e s t s i n g l e - g a m e scoring performance in NBA Finals history. He also had eight rebounds and seven assists, ending with a stat line that only James has done in a finals game.

“We fought, but we lost,” Curry said. “So we’ve got to go back to the drawing board and just recalibrate for Game 4.”

Information Director Jay Miller, LSSC is one of 26 junior colleges around the country looking to beach volleyball for the upcoming school year. In addition, he said the Lakehawks expect to have plenty of in-state compe-tition when they hit the sand next spring; Eastern Florida State College, Florida State College-Jacksonville, Indian River State College, Polk State College, St. Johns River State College, St. Peters-burg College, Florida Southwestern State Col-lege and State College of Florida are among the state schools expecting to begin play next year.

Miller said the school is searching for a head coach. However, LSSC

indoor coach Amanda Phelps will be on the staff as an assistant and will provide stability as the program finds its footing.

“I grew up playing beach, almost as long as I’ve played indoor,” Phelps said. “Beach vol-leyball has opened more doors for females to pursue scholarships and become collegiate stu-dent-athletes. I am so excited to see the beach game grow at the colle-giate level and that we get to be a part of it.”

The addition of beach volleyball comes on the heels of, arguably, the most successful vol-leyball season in school history. The Lakehawks compiled a 16-14 record in 2018 — the program’s first winning record since 2003 — and earned a berth to the NJCAA Division II national cham-pionship tournament

in Charleston, West Virginia.

It marked the first time LSSC competed in a national tournament — in any sport.

The Lakehawks home facility — Hickory Point Beach — is a 21-court state-of-the-art sand volleyball complex that has hosted numerous USA Volleyball, high school and college beach tourna-ments since it opened in 2014 at the Hickory Point Recreation Park. There is an athletic center on site with a clubhouse, locker rooms, meeting space, training room, officials’ room, concessions and public restrooms.

Beach volleyball is a sport played by two-player teams on a sand court. It is fundamentally similar to indoor volley-ball — namely, each team is permitted three touches before returning the ball over the net and players

may not touch the ball twice in succession except after making a block.

M a n y e n t h u s i a s t s trace the sport’s ori-gins to Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, in 1915, when the first recorded game took place. The modern two-player game is believed to have originated in Santa Monica, California in 1930.

The NCAA first spon-sored women’s beach volleyball as an “emerg-ing sport” in the 2010-11 school year. It became a fully sanctioned cham-p i o n s h i p s p o r t i n 2015-16 when leaders of all t h r e e N C A A d i v i -sions voted to launch an all-division national championship.

Beach volleyball is played internationally and professionally by men and women, and has been a medal sport in the Summer Olympics since 1996.

played in four Olym-pics for Brazil, but so far, a championship has eluded her in both tourna-ments. The 33-year-old h a s t h e m o s t W o r l d Cup goals with 15, one better than both Wam-bach and Germany’s Birgit Prinz.

Growing up in a small town in Brazil, Marta played soccer with the boys. But her talent was recognized quickly and she left home to play soccer when she was just 14.

At the 2016 Olympics

in her native country, she played with so much pas-sion that fans crossed out Neymar’s name on their No. 10 jerseys and wrote in Marta’s.

She had a setback last week when she injured her left thigh in practice but she has since returned to training.

SAMANTHA KERR, Austra-lia: There are few players, if any, that are as dynamic as Kerr with the ball. She’s also known for her signature backflip follow-ing goals.

T h i s w i l l b e t h e 25-year-old’s third World Cup, and the Australians hope to improve on their surprising run to the quarterfinals in the 2015 tournament.

Since making her debut w i t h t h e A u s t r a l i a n national team at 15, Kerr has collected 31 goals in 77 games. As captain of the team, known as the Matildas, Kerr has been called “fearless’ by coach Ante Milicic.

Kerr plays soccer year-round with the Chicago Red Stars of the NWSL and with the Perth Glory of Australia’s W-League. Last season, she led the NWSL in goals for the second straight year with 16.

DZSENIFER MAROZSAN, Germany: Marozsan is the inspirational story of the World Cup, having returned to the game after a pulmonary embo-lism kept her sidelined for

several months last year.M a r o z s a n g r a b b e d

international attention at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil when she scored the winning goal against Sweden. The 27-year-old has 32 goals in 89 appearances overall with Germany.

At just under 15, she became the youngest player to debut in the Bundesliga. She currently plays for Lyon and has been the French player of the year for the past two seasons.

L y o n h a s w o n t h e French league and the Champions League for the past three seasons. A World Cup champion-ship is the only major title Marozsan is missing.

a fourth consecutive major trophy, beating Alexander Zverev 7-5, 6-2, 6-2. Thiem elimi-nated No. 10 seed Karen Khachanov 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.

“ C o n t r o l l i n g t h e points was the key, I think,” said 2018 French Open runner-up Thiem, who made only 12 unforced errors, 25 fewer than Khacha-nov. “I didn’t miss a lot today.”

Not only has none of the remaining women w o n a G r a n d S l a m trophy, none has par-ticipated in a major final.

“Well,” said Halep, who was seeded third, “nothing surprises me anymore in tennis.”

Still, Anisimova’s rapid rise is noteworthy.

A l r e a d y t h e f i r s t tennis player born in the 2000s to get to a Slam quarterfinal, she’s now the youngest U.S. woman into the semis at Roland Garros since Jennifer Capriati was 14 in 1990.

Anisimova or Von-drousova could each become the first teen-ager since Iva Majoli in 1997 to win the French Open, where the slow clay courts require patience from shot to shot, the movement and endurance to get to ball after ball, the smarts to construct points.

Anisimova certainly checked all those boxes Thursday. Facing a former No. 1 and major champ, in the tourna-ment’s largest arena, the teenager was poised as can be.

“ S h e w a s p r e t t y calm,” said Halep, who acknowledged feeling the stress of trying to win a second consecu-tive title in Paris. “She showed that she’s able to do good things and big things.”

Yet to drop a set through five matches, Anisimova plays with a confident, take-it-to-the-opponent style. She doesn’t rely on power so much as precision, depositing what she’s called “effortless shots” near lines and often wrong-footing Halep.

And to think: It was in 2016 that Anisimova was the junior runner-up at Roland Garros at 14.

“I actually kind of miss juniors, but, I mean, this is a new phase,” she said, shrugging. “Obviously I respect (Halep) a lot. But I know I’m capable of doing a lot, and I know I can play very well. I mean, I never doubt my abilities. Today that showed.”

Did it ever.“For a 17-year-old

to play that well,” said Chris Evert, who won

seven of her 18 major trophies in Paris, “is pretty awesome.”

Most impressive, per-haps, was this: Halep had won 16 return games in a row coming in, but Anisimova saved 6 of 7 break points.

A seven-game run that began at 2-2 in the early going put Anisi-mova up a set and 3-0 in the second. But from 4-1, Halep made one last push, getting to 4-all.

“Nerves,” Anisimova said, “were kicking in a bit.”

In the next game, she pushed a backhand long and chewed on a thumb-nail. That gave Halep a break chance, one point from serving to force a third set.

But it was Anisimova who steeled herself, Halep who stumbled. A forehand into the net, a return that sailed wide and another miscue by Halep let Anisimova hold, before she broke to end it.

“I’m really happy with my performance,” Ani-simova said, “because this is one of the best m a t c h e s I ’ v e e v e r played.”

There’s not a long list for comparison, frankly.

After all, this was just the 43rd tour-level match of Anisimova’s nascent career, only her fourth major tourna-ment. It was amusing to hear her mention how many coaches she’s had “throughout my lifetime.”

Barty, who is 23, m i s s e d a b o u t t w o years on tour when she switched sports and played cricket. She’s progressing quickly now, though: Her first major quarterfinal came in January at the Austra-lian Open, and now she’s gone a step further.

Against Keys, the 2017 U.S. Open runner-up, Barty used her backhand slice to great effect, helping create errors on the other side of the net.

B a r t y w a s a s k e d w h e t h e r s h e w a s shocked that her game, seemingly built for hard courts, is suddenly so good on clay.

“Yes,” she replied, “very much so. I’ve been learning every single day.”

DEAR ABBY: My aunt had a stillborn baby 20 years ago. At the time, I was a teenager. Ever since then she has lived a morbid lifestyle -- like you’d see in a scary mov-ie. After the first year, she threw a party with a cake for all of us, and wanted us to sing “Happy Birth-day” to a baby that never lived.

When my grandfa-ther died recently, she made sure the preacher announced that my grandfather also had another grandchild. I found out that when her cat died she kept it in the house for several days because she didn’t want to let it go.

It bothers us a lot, because she acts like she is the victim in life and tries to make people feel guilty for being happy. How do we talk to her?-- CRYSTAL IN NEVADA

DEAR CRYSTAL: Your aunt should have sought grief counseling after she lost her baby. That she would throw a birthday party a year later and expect everyone to participate as if the child had lived is truly sad. Because you and your relatives feel she still

hasn’t gotten beyond the tragedy, those closest to her should suggest she talk with a therapist now or join a support group.

That said, I am not sure her wish that her little angel be mentioned at your grandfather’s funeral was out of line. Although the baby was stillborn, I’m sure the loss was grieved by your grandfather as well as your aunt.

DEAR ABBY: Our oldest son has had a girlfriend for almost two years. She’s a lovely, kind and quality person, the type you would want him to marry. The problem I’m having is that I have slipped and called her by the name of his former girlfriend. This happens sometimes during casual conversation, especially when I’m not concen-trating. I have tried to be careful because I don’t want to hurt her or my

son’s feelings, but sadly, I have.

I know she has heard me at least a couple of times. I have no affinity for the former girlfriend. Abby, this is damaging my relationship with my son and his girlfriend al-though she is too classy to say a word. What do I do? -- HEARTBROKEN IN NEW ENGLAND

DEAR HEARTBROKEN: When it happens again -- and it may -- apologize, explain that it’s embar-rassing, and you don’t know why it happens. Then THANK her for being as classy as she has been about it.

DEAR ABBY: My broth-er-in-law is starting a business and has offered my husband a job he is well-qualified for. I think it’s a bad idea to mix family and business. I should mention that it’s my husband’s brother, and in the past when my husband has done odd jobs for him, he has had trouble getting paid for them. Do you agree with me that it’s a bad idea for my husband to work for his brother?-- NOT SO SURE

DEAR NOT: Working for a relative can pack

a double whammy because of unresolved emotional baggage that can come with the job, but it’s not always a bad thing. Sometimes it works out very well. However, because your husband’s brother has a history of not paying his debts, I agree with you that in this case, it would be a bad idea.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 2019: This year, you open up to a change of pace or lifestyle. You become more enthusiastic about your day-to-day interactions. If you’re single, you could meet someone on the bus to work or when taking off on a mini trip. You could be delighted by this person’s fun-loving and experience-oriented style. If you’re attached, the two of you might take a seminar on how to communicate better, or decide on a massage class together. This class or happening will only bring you closer and add to your bond. At the same time, you will understand each other even more. LEO loves to entice you to join them!

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) Your playfulness takes you down an interesting path. Use care when eyeing an important expense or financial matter. You feel more connected than you have in a long time. Tonight: Add in some naughtiness.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) You could be overly tired and dragging your feet over a sudden event. You can handle what is going on, knowing how it will turn out. Your con-

fidence helps others remain confident. Tonight: Happily head home first.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Speak your mind, but do not be surprised at another person’s reaction. You will have a colorful conversation as a result. What is clear is that both of you are ready for the weekend. Tonight: At your favorite haunt.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) Be aware of the costs of making an expenditure. You might want to consider saying no rather than getting too involved in deciding about this object. Your final reaction could be a surprise, not only to others but to you. Tonight: Invite a friend to join you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) Your energy draws many people toward you. You surprise a boss, older friend or relative, and this person might be highly reactive. Demonstrate your caring in such a way that others can receive your message. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) Step back and be less reactive. You can get a lot done if you so choose. If you have plans, do not change them. You might need to recharge your energy. The unexpected could trigger

a strong reaction. Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) Make a point of following your friends. They seem to have a strong opinion about what needs to happen. You have been juggling the pros and cons for a while. The end results depend on how you handle pressure. Tonight: Out celebrating.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Others look at what is happening around you. They wish they had the respect of others that you have. You deal with an erratic relationship with ease and a big smile. You know what to do. Be positive about what is happening. Tonight: Out.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) Reach out to a loved one at a distance. You love hearing from this person and catching up on others’ news. You could find that you are unusually

high-strung, even for you. Try to squeeze in some exercise. Tonight: Calm down and TGIF.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) Your closeness to a key associate or partner could make all the difference in how you handle a dynamic change. You also view this person as insightful, especially around funds. Get together for a late lunch meeting, which could easily go to the end of the day. Tonight: Only with favorite people.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) Others naturally seek you out. Right now, you are searching for a special friend whom you often confide in and get feedback from. You could find today’s path hectic. An unex-pected development could easily distract you. Of late, you have found that an element of your personal or domestic life is out of sync. Tonight: TGIF.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) You might decide to veer from your routine. You will schedule appointments for yourself. You might not be in the mood to socialize as much as you are to clear your desk or complete a project that is close to your heart. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

TODAY IS FRIDAY, JUNE 7, the 158th day of 2019. There are 207 days left in the year.

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY:

On June 7, 1998, in a crime that shocked the nation, James Byrd Jr., a 49-year-old black man, was hooked by a chain to a pickup truck and dragged to his death in Jasper, Texas. (Two white men were

later sentenced to death; one of them, Lawrence Russell Brewer, was executed in 2011 and the other, John William King, was executed in April, 2019. A third defendant re-ceived life with the possibility of parole.)

ON THIS DATE:In 1769, frontiersman Daniel

Boone first began to explore present-day Kentucky.

In 1892, Homer Plessy, a “Creole of color,” was arrest-ed for refusing to leave a whites-only car of the East Louisiana Railroad. (Ruling on his case, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld “separate but equal” racial segregation, a concept it renounced in 1954.)

In 1958, singer-songwriter Prince was born Prince Rogers Nelson in Minneapolis.

In 1977, Britons thronged London to celebrate the silver jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, who was marking the 25th year of her reign.

In 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that religious groups could sometimes meet on school property after hours. Ground was broken for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

Bidding quiz

You are South, both sides vulnerable. The bidding had been:West North East South l * l ♦ Pass ?

What would you bid with each of the following five hands?

1. ♦ Q952 f AK763 ♦ K102 ♦ 52. ♦ 1084 f AJ5 ♦ KJ943 ♦ 723. ♦ 82 V K7 ♦ AKQJ84 ♦ KJ64. ♦ KJ84 f AJ952 ♦ Q6 ♦ 735. ♦ Q7 V Q942 ♦ KJ92 ♦ AQ8

* * *1. Four spades. Partner’s one-

spade overcall is not usually a bid directed toward making a game, but neither is it a bid made without appropriate values. Typically, it is based on a hand containing about nine to 16 points in high cards and a strong suit.

The salient feature of an overcall is safety, which means that the overcaller does not expect to go down more than 500 points if he gets doubled for penalties. It follows, therefore, that the quality of the suit in which the overcall is made is more important than the overall strength of the hand.

Opposite your hand, partner should have an excellent chance to make four spades. A bid of two hearts or a jump to three spades, neither of which would be forcing, runs the risk

of missing game. As usual, the simplest bid is best.

2. Two spades. It is not likely that your side can make a game, but the raise should be made for competitive purposes and in case partner has an absolute maximum. It would be wrong to bid two diamonds, which would deny spade support and might be passed by partner.

3. Three notrump. No guarantees go with this bid, which is admittedly a gamble, but the hand should offer a good shot for game opposite a typical overcall, Partner does not need much strength outside of his spade suit. The best thing to do is to close your eyes, bid three notrump and hope for the best.

4. Three spades. This bid invites partner to go on to four with a maximum overcall, and allows him to pass if the overcall was based on minimum values. As before, your heart suit should not be mentioned.

5. Two notrump. This is also only invitational, so partner is permitted to pass. It shows roughly the values for a minimum opening bid (about 12 to 15 points), balanced distribution and all-around strength, particularly in the opponent’s suit. If partner has close to an opening bid or better, a game is likely to be made.
