WORLD IN BRIEF
Associated Press
Civilian drills grow lax
among South Koreans
used to threats
Within 24 hours,
a pair of wildly different
Trump speeches
RENO, Nev. — Within a 24-hour span,
President Donald Trump delivered one speech
in which he tore into the media and members
of his own party, and a second in which he
called for national unity and love.
The about-face seemed to reflect the
president’s real-time internal debate between
calls for moderation and his inclination to let
loose.
On Wednesday, the president spoke in mea-
sured tones and stuck to his prepared remarks
as he praised veterans at an American Legion
conference in Nevada as examples for a nation
yearning to set aside its differences.
“We are here to hold you up as an example
of strength, courage and resolve that our coun-
try will need to overcome the many challenges
that we face,” he said.
The night before, the president cut loose in
Arizona, defying instructions from his aides
to stick to the script and angrily renewing his
fight with the press over its coverage of his
comments about the race-fueled violence in
Charlottesville, Virginia.
House Speaker
Ryan visits Intel,
talks tax reform
HILLSBORO — U.S. House Speaker Paul
Ryan discussed tax reform during a visit to
Intel’s offices outside Portland, Oregon.
The Oregonian reported that Ryan was
joined Wednesday by U.S. Rep. Greg Walden,
a fellow Republican, at the event in Hillsboro.
Ryan says he’d like to see Congress pass
legislation to slash tax rates for businesses and
individuals this year.
He also addressed President Donald
Trump’s comment that a government shut-
down may be preferable if funding for a new
border wall with Mexico isn’t secured. Ryan
says that would be the wrong move.
He also tried out drones and an automated
car that use Intel’s microchips.
He will visit Boeing in Seattle today.
US Navy: Body found
by Malaysia not one
of McCain’s missing
SINGAPORE — A body found at sea by
Malaysian forces is not one of the 10 U.S. sail-
ors missing after a collision between the USS
John S. McCain and an oil tanker, the Navy’s
7th Fleet said Thursday, as more Marine
Corps divers joined a search of the destroyer’s
flooded compartments.
The remains found earlier in the week by
the Malaysian navy were medically examined
and will be returned to Malaysian authorities,
the fleet said in a statement.
Divers have found remains in flooded com-
partments of the McCain, which is docked at
Singapore’s naval base, but the Navy has not
disclosed specifics. Five of the 10 missing sail-
ors have been named by relatives.
Aircraft and ships from the navies of Sin-
gapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia are
searching seas east of Singapore where the col-
lision happened early Monday and the search
area continues to expand, the Navy said. More
Marine Corps divers have arrived in Singapore
to help with the search of the McCain’s inte-
rior, it said.
The commander of the 7th Fleet was
relieved of duty Wednesday following the
McCain collision and other accidents this year
that raised questions about its operations in the
Pacific. Seven sailors died in June when the

One customer, left, holds the door for another at the Pride Station & Store on
Thursday in Chicopee, Mass., where the winning ticket for the Powerball was sold.
Numbers for $758.7M Powerball jackpot drawn
The owner of the store that sold the lone winning Powerball ticket says he’s donating the
store’s $50,000 prize to several local charities.
Bob Bolduc owns the Pride store chain. One of its stores, in Chicopee, Massachusetts, sold
the only ticket that won the $758.7 million jackpot. It’s the largest grand prize won by a single
lottery ticket in U.S. history.
The lucky numbers from Wednesday night’s drawing are 6, 7, 16, 23 and 26, and the Pow-
erball number is 4.

tainer ship off Japan. Two lesser-known inci-
dents occurred earlier in the year.
Harvey regains
tropical storm strength
in Gulf of Mexico
MIAMI — Harvey regained tropical storm
strength as it drifted in the Gulf of Mexico
toward Texas early Thursday and forecasters
said it could become a hurricane.
The storm’s maximum sustained winds had
increased to near 45 mph. The U.S. National
Hurricane Center said additional strengthening
was expected and Harvey could become a hur-
ricane on Friday.
The tropical storm was centered about 410
miles southeast of Port Mansfield, Texas, and
was moving northwest near 7 mph.
In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered the
State Operations Center to elevate its readiness
level, making state resources available for pos-
sible rescue and recovery actions. Abbott also
pre-emptively declared a state of disaster for 30
counties on or near the coast to speed deploy-
ment of state resources to any areas affected.
Emergency officials Wednesday asked resi-
dents along the upper Texas coastline to move
or prepare to move inland. Those in low-lying
areas were urged to seek higher ground, and
those elsewhere were told to monitor official
announcements closely.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Qatar
restored full diplomatic relations with Iran
early Thursday, disregarding the demands of
Arab nations now locked in a regional dispute
with the energy-rich country that it lessen its
ties to Tehran.
In announcing its decision, Qatar did not
mention the diplomatic crisis roiling Gulf Arab
nations since June, when Qatar found its land,
sea and air routes cut off by its neighbors over
Doha’s policies across the Mideast.
However, the move comes just days after
Saudi Arabia began promoting a Qatari royal
family member whose branch of the family
was ousted in a palace coup in 1972.
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — The Reflections
treatment center looked like just the place for
Michelle Holley’s youngest daughter to kick her-
oin. Instead, as with dozens of other Florida sub-
stance abuse treatment facilities, the owner was
more interested in defrauding insurance compa-
nies by keeping addicts hooked, her family says.
“It looked fine. They were saying all the
right things to me. I could not help my child so
I trusted them to help my child,” Holley said.

Many addicts seeking

Instead, the center refused to give 19-year-
old Jaime Holley her prescription medicine
when she left, forcing her to use illegal drugs
to avoid acute withdrawal symptoms, her
mother said. She died of a heroin overdose last
November. “Right to my face they lied to me,
and I believed them.”
Rather than working to get people well,
a growing number of unscrupulous indus-
try players are focusing on getting addicts to
relapse so that insurance dollars keep rolling
in, according to law enforcement officials,
treatment experts and addicts in recovery.
“It’s terrible right now. I don’t know of any
business that wants to kill its customers, but
this one does,” said Timothy Schnellenberger,
who has worked for years in running addiction
recovery centers in Florida. “It really breaks
my heart. Kids are dying left and right.”
SEOUL, South Korea — Once or twice a
year, activity on the streets of South Korea’s
capital freezes as a wailing siren marks a
nationwide drill aimed at preparing against
a North Korean attack. Cars stop on roads.
Pedestrians move into buildings and subway
stations. Government buildings are evacuated.
The scenes during the latest air-raid drill on
Wednesday are remarkable for turning parts of
this usually bustling city into a ghost town. But
a closer look raises questions about whether
the exercises are adequately preparing South
Koreans while the threat from North Korea’s
nuclear and missile program grows.
For many, there’s no real training, just peo-
ple standing around in schoolyards or other
gathering spots, staring into their smartphones,
chatting amiably or just looking bored or
frustrated.
Many schools don’t participate in the air-
raid drills and those that do often escort chil-
dren outside. Leaving their buildings would be
a good idea during earthquakes, but a terrible
decision during attacks.
The country has nearly 19,000 evacuation
shelters, mostly built in subway stations and
the parking garages of apartments and large
buildings. Yet a 2014 government survey found
that an overwhelming number of South Kore-
ans did not know which shelters were closest
to their homes.
