2016 PULITZER WINNER € FPA GOLD MEDAL WINNER 2022 Meals on Wheels celebrates newly renovated kitchen Cookbook takes inspiration from female iconsPAGE 5B SUN The DailyCharlotte € DeSoto € SarasotaTHURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 | $2.50 FIRST IN LOCAL NEWS YOURSUN.COMVOL. 131, NO. 180 By BOB MUDGESENIOR WRITER VENICE „ When economist Jerry Parrish spoke at last years Economic Outlook breakfast, he sounded a warning about something called the yield curve inversion.Ž Its when interest rates on long-term securities are lower than the ones on short-term securities „ the opposite of whats normal, he told the attendees at the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce event in 2022. The inversion has a high correlation with recessions, he said, though its not a necessary or a su cient cause. But it was an indicator of the likelihood of a recession in 2023, he said. The inversion is still there, he said at the 2023 breakfast on Friday, and there was negative economic growth in the “ rst two quarters of the “ scal year „ the generally accepted de“ nition of a recession. But the Business Cycle Dating Committee „ the arm of the National Bureau of Economic Research that declares whether theres a recession „ hasnt made it o cial, Parrish said. Unless they say youre in a recession, youre not in a recession,Ž he said. Everybodys trying to “ gure it out.Ž Other indicators are mixed, he said. The job market in Florida is super strong,Ž he said, with the state having created one out of every 11 jobs in the country post-COVID even though it only represents 5% of the national economy. Economist: Recession still on the horizonCounty, state are in good shape for what may come Who is Jerry Parrish?Jerry D. Parrish is the chief economist and director of State and Local Policy Analysis at the Florida Institute of Government at Florida State University; a faculty adjunct in the FSU Masters of Applied Economics Program; and the chair of the Council of Economic Advisers at the Haas Center at the University of West Florida. He previously served as the chief economist and director of Research for the Florida Chamber Foundation; the chief economist and director of the Center for Competitive Florida at Florida TaxWatch; and the associate director of the FSU Center for Economic Forecasting & Analysis. He has a degree in agricultural business and economics from Auburn University; an masters of business administration from Bellarmine University; a masters of science in economics from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte; and a Ph.D. in economics from Auburn.SOURCE: UWF.EDU.PARRISH By KEVIN MCGILL and KEN MILLERASSOCIATED PRESSScorching heat blamed for at least 13 deaths in Texas and another in Louisiana blanketed more of the Southeast on Wednesday, stretching government warnings of dangerous, triple-digit temperatures eastward into Mississippi and Tennessee. California, meanwhile, was facing its “ rst major heat wave of the year. The National Weather Service warned that the dry, hot, windy conditions were ripe for dangerous “ res in parts of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah. Mid-week temperatures were forecast to surpass 100 degrees in much of the Southeast and high humidity was expected to push heat index values above 115 degrees in some areas. Lingering power outages after weekend storms compounded the heat-related misery in Arkansas. More than 10,000 residents were still without power in the central part of the state.

SEMONSTAFF WRITERPUNTA GORDA „ An initial donation from Punta Gorda Rotary Club to help Ukrainians has morphed into a charitable endeavor has raised nearly $200,000 in humanitarian aid. James Williams began to collect money for the people of Ukraine shortly after the February 2022 invasion by Russia. Williams is the Punta Gorda Rotary Club treasurer who oversees the nonpro“ t Punta Gorda Rotary Club Charity and Education Foundation. He contacted the Czestochowa Rotary Club in Poland and its president, Wojtek Jankowski, recently recalled the “ rst time he communicated with Williams. Jankowski recalls Williams asking if his club could use $5,000.

PHILLIPRobert Harris drinks water Tuesday while taking a break from digging fence post holes in Houston.SEE RECESSION , 4A SEE HELP , 7A By CHRISTOPHER RUGABERAP ECONOMICS WRITERWASHINGTON „ The warnings have been sounded for more than a year: A recession is going to hit the United States. If not this quarter, then by next quarter. Or the quarter after that. Or maybe next year. So is a recession still in sight?The latest signs suggest maybe not. Despite much higher borrowing costs, thanks to the Federal Reserves aggressive streak of interest rate hikes, consumers keep spending, and employers keep hiring. Gas prices have dropped, and grocery prices have leveled o , giving Americans more spending power. The economy keeps managing to grow. And so does the belief among some economists that the United States might actually achieve an elusive soft landing,Ž in which growth slows but households and businesses spend enough to avoid a full-blown recession. The U.S. economy is genuinely displaying signs of resilience,Ž said Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY, a tax and consulting “ rm. This is leading many to rightly question whether the longforecast recession is really inevitable or whether a soft-landing of the economyŽ is possible. Analysts point to two trends that may help stave o an economic contraction. Some say the economy is experiencing a rolling recession,Ž in which only some industries shrink while the overall economy remains above water. AP FILE PHOTO/NAM Y.

There are 185 days left in the year.First trans-Pacific flightOn June 29, 1927, the first trans-Pacific airplane flight was completed as U.S. Army Air Corps Lt. Lester J. Maitland and Lt. Albert F. Hegenberger arrived at Wheeler Field in Hawaii aboard the Bird of Paradise, an Atlantic-Fokker C-2, after flying 2,400 miles from Oakland, California, in 25 hours, 50 minutes.On this dateIn 1520, Montezuma II, the ninth and last emperor of the Aztecs, died in Tenochtitlan under unclear circumstances (some say he was killed by his own subjects; others, by the Spanish). In 1613, Londons original Globe Theatre, where many of Shakespeares plays were performed, was destroyed by a fire sparked by a cannon shot during a performance of Henry VIII.Ž In 1767, Britain approved the Townshend Revenue Act, which imposed import duties on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper and tea shipped to the American colonies. (Colonists bitterly protested, prompting Parliament to repeal the duties „ except for tea.) In 1946, authorities in British-ruled Palestine arrested more than 2,700 Jews in an attempt to stamp out extremists. In 1967, Jerusalem was reunified as Israel removed barricades separating the Old City from the Israeli sector. In 1970, the United States ended a two-month military offensive into Cambodia. In 2006, the Supreme Court ruled, 5-3, that President George W. Bushs plan to try Guantanamo Bay detainees in military tribunals violated U.S. and international law. Ten years ago: Paying tribute to his personal hero, President Barack Obama met privately in Johannesburg, South Africa, with Nelson Mandelas family as the world anxiously awaited news on the condition of the hospitalized 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader. Five years ago: The Annapolis Capital Gazette newspaper in Maryland kept its promise to put out the days paper, despite the shooting deaths of five people in its newsroom a day earlier. In response to the fatal shootings at a Maryland newspaper, President Donald Trump said that journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their jobs.Ž One year ago: R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison for using his R&B superstardom to subject young fans to sexual abuse. The singer and songwriter was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking the previous year. The only surviving attacker from the 2015 terrorist massacre at the Bataclan theater and other sites in Paris was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. That was the most severe sentence possible in France, and very rare. Salah Abdeslam was the chief suspect in an exceptional trial over the attacks, which killed 130 people and were claimed by the Islamic State group.Todays birthdaysSongwriter L. Russell Brown is 83.

PAGE 4A THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comcenter provided cool air and a place to charge cellphones and tablets for those without electricity. Usually I just come at noon for the meal,Ž Clint Hickman, still waiting for his power to come back on, said in a phone interview Wednesday. Its kind of nice to have a little cool air, so I came a little earlier.Ž A park in Pearl River, Louisiana, featuring water fountains and overhead sprinklers for children to play in was a welcome respite for Victoria Lee, who was there with her small children. I have outdoor kids,Ž she said. They dont like being inside. So, when were at home and theyre outside and theyre sweaty, theyre just miserable all the time. So this just makes it a lot easier.Ž Among the heats casualties was a man who died late Sunday in Shreveport, Louisiana, the second heat-related death in the state in an unusually warm June. The 49-year-old from neighboring Bossier City had been found lying on a sidewalk in Shreveport, where Sundays temperature hit 97 degrees „ 10 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the average for the date. The death of a 62-yearold woman on June 21 in Keithville also was blamed on heat. Relatives found her after she had spent several days without electricity because of earlier severe storms, the Caddo Parish Coroners Oce said. In southeast Louisiana, the National Weather Service oce in Slidell issued an excessive heat warning on June 16, the earliest in the year its ever done so for that area, a meteorologist said. Eleven of the Texas heat-related deaths occurred in Webb County, which includes Laredo. The dead ranged in age from 60 to 80 years old and many had underlying health conditions, according to Webb County Medical Examiner Dr. Corinne Stern, who said the level of heat in the county was unprecedented. The area has a higher poverty rate than the state average and that compounds the suering, Stern said. The vast majority do not have air conditioning in their homes. They either have the fans o, or they have fans on but not proper ventilation,Ž Stern said. There has been at least one or two that have air conditioning but dont want to run it due to the bill.Ž Two Florida hikers also died while hiking in extreme heat at Big Bend National Park. The heat has prompted the U.S. Postal Service to allow earlier starting times for letter carriers, according to the National Association of Letter Carriers Lonestar Branch. This comes after the death of a letter carrier who died June 20 in near triple-digit heat. The unusually high temperatures were brought on by a heat dome that has taxed the Texas power grid and brought record highs to parts of the state, according to meteorologists. That dome is spreading eastward and by the weekend is expected to be centered over the midSouth, said meteorologist Bryan Jackson with the National Weather Service in College Pak, Maryland. Texas temperatures should then begin to drop from highs above 100 degrees to daily temperatures in the 90s, Jackson said. Its relief from the extreme heat,Ž Jackson said. Its not really an end to a heat wave; its just an end to the extreme part of the heat wave.Ž Another dome of heat has already developed on the West Coast, and an excessive heat warning is in place in a wide swath in the central part of the state, according to Jackson. By this weekend there is a risk for record high temperatures exceeding 100 degrees ... close to 110 degrees in the Central Valley of California,Ž Jackson said. Then some of the more typical mid-summer heat of getting above 115 degrees in the hottest areas of the desert Southwest.Ž Apart from the heat dome moving over the Southeast, Californias Central Valley was under an excessive heat watch from Friday through Sunday, with highs up to 110 degrees in some areas. Much of the region around San Francisco Bay will be under a heat advisory.HEATFROM PAGE 1AWe were punching at almost double our weight,Ž Parrish said. And the state has record revenue coming in and has reduced its debt by more than $2 billion over the last two years. Sarasota County has had good, healthy growthŽ since 2010, adding 82,356 residents since 2010, a rate of 21.7% „ faster than the state (18%) but not tremendously faster,Ž he said. However, consumer con“dence, as measured by the University of Floridas Bureau of Economic and Business Research, is lagging behind the rest of the recovery, he said. The economy depends on you guys spending moneyŽ because 80% of state revenue comes from sales and use taxes, he said. One factor is that gas prices remain relatively high because spending on gas takes away money from fun stu,Ž he said. The amount of credit card debt people amassed during the pandemic and high in”ation „ more than $1 trillion „ is also a concern, he said. All the sectors of the job market are now above preCOVID levels, Parrish said, but it took until last October for the Leisure & Hospitality industry to get there, and its up only 3.2%. That has signi“cant implications for Sarasota County, he said, because it accounts for 16.2% of local jobs „ a higher percentage than in the state as a whole (14.9%) and the country (12.2%). Those jobs earn only $33,528 on average annually „ 9.1% of wages „ far less than the annual average of $59,184 for all service-providing jobs. In comparison, “nancial activities make up 6.2% of jobs but get 10.1% of wages „ an average of $97,648 per year. The recovery in leisure and hospitality means that tourism is up, though, and there are two good things about our visitors, Parrish said: They dont put their kids in our schools and the good ones dont interact with our law enforcement.Ž Theres still the matter of that yield curve inversion, however. The government has sold o some of the securities it bought to try to reduce in”ation, but will need to sell more, and thats going to hit people who are over-leveraged on credit card and housing debt “rst, Parrish said. He said that people get excited when he tells them he knows of a period when wages and “rst-time property ownership doubled, but they lose interest when he tells them the cause „ the bubonic plague. I suggest we not try that as an economic policy,Ž he said.RECESSIONFROM PAGE 1A SUN PHOTO BY BOB MUDGEFlorida lead the South in job recovery after COVID-19, economist Jerry Parrish said, with 7% growth from February 2020 to April 2023.Others think the U.S. is experiencing what they call a richcessionŽ: Major job cuts, they note, have been concentrated in higher-paying industries like technology and “nance, heavy with professional workers who generally have the “nancial cushions to withstand layos. Job cuts in those “elds, as a result, are less likely to sink the overall economy. Still, threats loom: The Fed is all but certain to keep raising interest rates, at least once more, and to keep them high for months, thereby continuing to impose heavy borrowing costs on consumers and businesses. Thats why some economists caution that a full-blown recession may still occur. The Fed will keep pushing until it “xes the in”ation issue,Ž said Yelena Shulyatyeva, an economist at BNP Paribas. On Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell reinforced that message, saying the central banks key rate hasnt been restraining the economy for very longŽ and that the bottom line is that policy hasnt been restrictive enough for long enough.Ž Powell spoke at a global conference in Sintra, Portugal, along with three other central bank leaders whose economies are also struggling with persistently high in”ation. The Bank of England last week raised its key rate a substantial half-point, which could send the U.K. into a recession, while Europes economy has stagnated in the past six months.ECONOMYFROM PAGE 1A AP FILE PHOTO/SETH WENIGFederal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is shown on a monitor on May 3 at the New York Stock Exchange in New York.

The S&P 500 edged down by 1.55, or less than 0.1%, to 4,376.86. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 74.08 points, or 0.2%, to 33,852.66, while the Nasdaq composite rose 36.08, or 0.3%, to 13,591.75. General Mills fell to one of the markets larger drops after the maker of Cheerios and HaagenDazs reported weaker revenue for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It sank 5.2% despite reporting stronger pro“t than expected and giving a forecast for upcoming results that was close to Wall Streets. Other food companies also fell, including drops of 4% for Hershey, 3.7% for J.M. Smucker and 3.5% for Conagra Brands. On the winning side of Wall Street was AeroVironment, which rose 4.9%. The maker of unmanned aircraft, tactical missile systems and other equipment used by the U.S. military and in Ukraine reported stronger pro“t and revenue for the latest quarter than expected. It also gave a stronger forecast for upcoming results than analysts expected amid what it called a record backlog.Wall Street drifts through a quiet day to finish mixed EDTIMER$55OTFEENECTIO tUR N .

PAGE 6A THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By HANNA ARHIROVAASSOCIATED PRESSKYIV, Ukraine „ Ukrainian authorities on Wednesday arrested a man they accused of helping Russia direct a missile strike that killed at least 11 people, including three teenagers, at a popular pizza restaurant in eastern Ukraine. The Tuesday evening attack on Kramatorsk wounded 61 other people, Ukraines National Police said. It was the latest bombardment of a Ukrainian city, a tactic Russia has used heavily in the 16-month-old war. The strike, and others across Ukraine late Tuesday and early Wednesday, indicated that the Kremlin is not easing its aerial onslaught, despite political and military turmoil at home after a short-lived armed uprising in Russia last weekend. There has been no apparent military push by Ukraine to exploit that turmoil, though the government has been tight-lipped about recent battle“eld developments as it seeks to gain momentum in its recently launched counteroensive. The Kremlin reeled from the weekend mutiny led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, owner of the Wagner private army of prison recruits and other mercenaries. Wagner has played a key combat role for Russia in Ukraine. The rebellion posed the most serious threat so far to Russian President Vladimir Putins grip on power. Trying to repair the damage to his authority, Putin met with military sta in the Kremlin on Tuesday and ”ew to the Caspian city of Derbent, in the mostly Muslim region of Dagestan, on the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha on Wednesday. He visited an ancient citadel and a historic mosque, met with ocials, and walked to cheering crowds next to a fountain, talking to people and shaking hands „ rare behavior for the secretive and reserved Russian leader. Prigozhin went into exile in neighboring Belarus on Tuesday, according to Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, after Russia said he wouldnt face charges for the revolt. Prigozhins whereabouts could not be independently con“rmed. Lukashenko has said his country would allow Wagner to set up a temporary camp in Belarus, but it remained unclear how many mercenaries would move there. Wagners impending deployment to Belarus has rattled its neighbors. Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of Polands ruling party, announced plans to strengthen the countrys eastern border, saying about 8,000 Wagner troops are expected to arrive in Belarus. And Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis noted Tuesday that the mutiny shows how fast detachments from within Russia mobilize and move within its territory,Ž underlining a more volatile, more unpredictable environment for our region.Ž Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy played down concerns that Wagner would pose a threat from Belarus. He said the groups mercenaries probably wouldnt go there in signi“cant numbers, and added that Ukraines military believes security along the Belarusian border will remain unchanged and controllable.Ž U.S. President Joe Biden said Wednesday that the unrest had weakened Putin, though he added that its hard to tellŽ to what extent.Missile kills 11 in a popular Ukrainian pizza parlor NATIONAL POLICE OF UKRAINEPeople clear the rubble on the roof of a restaurant RIA Pizza destroyed by a Russian attack on Tuesday in Kramatorsk, Ukraine.Russias aerial barrage continues To view todays legal notices and more visit, www.oridapublicnotices.com To view todays legal notices and more visit, www.oridapublicnotices.com Legal Notices 06 / 29 / 2023 INVITATION TO BID INVITATION TO BID The DeSoto County Board of County of County Commissioners are seeking Formal Bids for the DeSoto County North Mills Office Building Wind Retrofit Exterior Door and Window Replacement (Impact Glass) Project as described within the context of this bid.

The deal was to send humanitarian goods, including medical supplies, food and other essentials to Czestochowa, and the Rotary Club there would have it sent over the border. Jankowski, meanwhile, contacted the president of the board of Hegelman Logistics, a Czestochowa-based trucking “rm that agreed to donate trucks and drivers to bring the goods over the border, for free. As more and more Ukrainians ”ed into Poland, some of the goods were used to help the newly arrived refugees displaced by the war. Williams and the Rotarians continue to raise funds. The Punta Gorda Rotary itself has raised some $70,000 so far, partly through fundraisers such as Taste of Punta Gorda and through Charlotte County restaurants along with 48 Rotary clubs in several counties, and private donors, Williams said. The Rotary Club of Anna Maria Island, one of many Rotary clubs that has partnered with the Punta Gorda Club, raised more than $77,000. The Anna Maria Island RC has chosen to directly donate to the Czestochowa Rotary, Williams said. A recent concert fundraiser by the Anna Maria Island RC raised some $20,000, he said. The Punta Gorda Rotary Club Charity and Education Foundation has networked with other Rotary clubs in Southwest Florida and throughout the U.S. and even overseas. Rotary Clubs in England, Germany, and the Caribbean have contributed through the Punta Gorda foundation, and Rotary Clubs in Texas and Ohio have also become partners, as have local member clubs of the General Federation of Womens Clubs. The foundation applied for a grant which funded a Meals of Hope meal packing event at Babcock Ranch, where volunteers packed 21,000 Meals of Hope costing 28 cents each, and the (total) weight was 35,000 pounds,Ž Williams told The Daily Sun . Meanwhile, Water One, Inc. of Fort Myers donated nearly 1,000 Pure2Go water puri“er kits.

PAGE 8A THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By PATRICK WHITTLEASSOCIATED PRESSPORTLAND, Maine „ Human remains have likely been recovered from the wreckage of the submersible that imploded on a voyage to view the wreckage of the Titanic, the U.S. Coast Guard said Wednesday. The announcement came hours after the announcement that debris from the Titan, collected from the sea”oor more than 12,000 feet below the surface of the North Atlantic, had arrived in St. Johns, Newfoundland. Twisted chunks of the submersible were unloaded at a Canadian Coast Guard pier. Recovering and scrutinizing the wreckage is a key part of the investigation into why the Titan imploded last week, killing all “ve people on board. The multiday search and eventual recovery of debris from the 22-foot vessel captured the worlds attention. There is still a substantial amount of work to be done to understand the factors that led to the catastrophic loss of the Titan and help ensure a similar tragedy does not occur again,Ž Coast Guard Chief Capt. Jason Neubauer said in a statement released late Wednesday afternoon. The presumed remainsŽ will be brought to the United States, where medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis, and the Coast Guard has convened an investigation of the implosion at the highest level, Neubauer said, noting that the Marine Board of Investigation will analyze and test evidence, including pieces of debris, at a port in the U.S. He said the evidence will provide critical insightsŽ into the cause of the implosion. Debris from the Titan, which is believed to have imploded on June 18 as it made its descent, was located about 12,500 feet underwater and roughly 1,600 feet from the Titanic on the ocean ”oor. The Coast Guard is leading the investigation, in conjunction with several other government agencies in the U.S. and Canada. Authorities have not disclosed details of the debris recovery, which could have followed several approaches, according to Carl Harts“eld, who directs a lab at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution that designs and operates autonomous underwater vehicles and has been serving as a consultant to the Coast Guard. If the pieces are small, you can collect them together and put them in a basket or some kind of collection device,Ž Harts“eld said Monday. Bigger pieces could be retrieved with a remote-operated vehicle, or ROV, such as the one brought to the wreckage site by the Canadian ship Horizon Arctic to search the ocean ”oor. For extremely big pieces a heavy lift can be used to pull the pieces up with a tow line, he said. Representatives for Horizon Arctic did not respond to requests for comment. Pelagic Research Services, a company with oces in Massachusetts and New York that owns the ROV, said on Wednesday that it is still on missionŽ and cannot comment on the investigation, said company spokesperson Je Mahoney. They have been working around the clock now for 10 days, through the physical and mental challenges of this operation,Ž Mahoney said. Analyzing the physical material of recovered debris could reveal important clues about what happened to the Titan, and there could be electronic data recorded by the submersibles instruments, Harts“eld said.US Coast Guard: Human remains have likely been recovered from the Titan submersible wreckage THE CANADIAN PRESS/PAUL DALYDebris from the Titan submersible, recovered from the ocean oor near the wreck of the Titanic, is unloaded Wednesday from the ship Horizon Arctic at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St. Johns, Newfoundland. By MIKE HOUSEHOLDER and COREY WILLIAMSASSOCIATED PRESSDETROIT „ Smoky air from Canadas wild“res shrouded broad swaths of the U.S. from Minnesota to New York and Kentucky on Wednesday, prompting warnings to stay inside and exacerbating health risks for people already suering from industrial pollution. The impacts are particularly hard on poor and minority communities that are more likely to live near polluting plants and have higher rates of asthma. Detroit, a mostly Black city with a poverty rate of about 30%, had some of the worst air quality in the U.S. on Wednesday, prompting the Environmental Protection Agency to warn that everyone should stay indoors.Ž The more breaths youre taking, youre inhaling, literally, a “re, camp smoke, into your lungs,Ž said Darren Riley, who was diagnosed with asthma in 2018, a few years after arriving in Detroit. Many communities face this way too often,Ž said Riley, who is Black. And while this wild“re smoke all ows, unfortunately, many people to feel this burden, this is a burden that far too long communities have faced day in and day out.Ž The EPAs AirNow. gov site showed cities including Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis and Cleveland, Ohio, had very unhealthy airŽ as of Wednesday afternoon. A wider circle of unhealthy air spread into Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Louisville, Kentucky. Earlier this month, smoke from the wild“res blanketed the U.S. East Coast for days. Another round of drifting smoke from the wild“res was moving through western Pennsylvania and central New York and headed toward the MidAtlantic, said National Weather Service meteorologist Byran Jackson. In Canada, smoke will migrate across Quebec and Ontario over the next few days, Environment and Climate Change Canada meteorologist Steven Flisfeder said. In the U.S., the smoke is exacerbating air quality issues for poor and Black communities that already are more likely to live near polluting plants, and in rental housing with mold and other triggers.Smoke from Canada wildfires is increasing health risks in Black and poorer communities AP PHOTO/MORRY GASHA haze is seen over the Milwaukee Art Museum on Tuesday in Milwaukee.

They planted it into the end zone in 2008 after defeating the Knights for the fourth time in four meetings. There was no thought of a “fth. The War on I-4 was dead as the so-called rivals headed in opposite directions. The Bulls were enjoying one of the fastest ascents in college football history, rising from nothing to a major conference (the Big East) and No. 2 Bowl Championship Series ranking in only 11 seasons. Two games into Year 12, USF was a top-20 team on the verge of joining Florida, Florida State and Miami as the states fourth preeminent football program. The Knights, meanwhile, were mired in a 26-38 slump and stuck in USFs former mid-major home, Conference USA, after trying and failing to ride their younger brothers coattails into a power league. Despite an 18-season head start, they were so irrelevant that they needed political intervention just to schedule USF. They were ahead of us in everything,Ž said Steve Orsini, UCFs athletic director from 2002-06. Not anymore. On Saturday, the Knights ocially join the Big 12, a Power Five conference with more prestige, bigger opponents and an eight-“gure annual revenue boost. USF, meanwhile, is left behind in the Knights former mid-major home, a watered-down American Athletic Conference. The divergence was hard to miss in November during the teams last scheduled meeting. Black and gold Big 12 ”ags waved in the Raymond James Stadium stands, and UCF celebrated its sixth consecutive rivalry victory with a dig of its own: Horns DownŽ hand gestures that mocked USFs symbol and will soon taunt Big 12 colleague Texas. Though conference realignment is usually a complicated process involving everything from population and politics to doctoral degrees and bowl wins, theres a simple explanation why UCF was promoted and USF wasnt. Its not academics. Both are top-tier research universities. Its not all-around athletics. Both have comparable success in non-revenue sports. Its not enrollment, market size or location. Both are massive schools in top-20 TV markets in one of the nations four biggest recruiting states. Its football. Then-Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby admitted as much in September 2021 when he said his league wanted schools we felt would move the needle for us in football “rst.Ž The Knights do. Since being buried by USF that September night 15 years ago, they have “ve conference championships, three major bowl appearances and one perfect season. USF does not. In that same span, the Bulls have had more losing seasons (eight) than winning ones (six), have lost 47 of their last 51 games against Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams, and are still looking for their “rst conference title. Theres no single reason why the Knights rallied to win the Realignment War on I-4. Rather, they triumphed in battle after battle in boardrooms and living rooms, on football “elds and TV screens, crucially, on a private jet somewhere between Orlando and Muncie, Ind. By ANNE M. PETERSONAP SPORTS WRITEREven without a few key players, the United States heads into the Womens World Cup with a formidable group of wily veterans and eager newcomers. The question is, will it be enough for the team to lift international soccers most prestigious trophy again? The United States has won the last two World Cups and the goal is to three-peat. But American dominance in womens soccer isnt assured anymore. Teams like England and France have caught up, Germany and Sweden remain strong, and then theres that rival to the north, Canada, which won gold at the Tokyo Olympics. The growth of womens soccer globally means greater parity. And that means the United States has had to adapt. Theres so many leagues around the world that are paying players more, that are playing more often throughout the season, and that are treating players in a professional way that weve been “ghting for a long time, so I think that that has a lot to do with it,Ž star forward Alex Morgan said. The Americans look far dierent now that they did four years ago, when they beat the Netherlands 2-0 in the World Cup “nal and fans in Lyon, France, feted them with chants of Equal Pay!Ž The players did indeed achieve equitable pay with their male counterparts, coming to a historic collective bargaining agreement with U.S. Soccer in 2022. As part of the deal, the men and women on the national teams will split World Cup prize money. On the “eld, the team settled for a disappointing bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics two summers ago. Afterward, U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski turned his attention to developing young talent. Among the youngsters is 18-year-old phenom Alyssa Thompson and up-and-comer Trinity Rodman, the 20-year-old daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman.US vying for third straight Womens World Cup titleBut is the team vulnerable this time?

A majority of the practices will begin at 8:30 a.m., with covered bleacher seating available for spectators. An Aug. 1 workout (open to Krewe members) will start at 7 p.m. and will be held at the indoor practice facility. Interspersed in the schedule will be days devoted to certain community groups including Military Day (July 31); Jr. Bucs/Community Impact Day (Aug. 9); and Women of Red Day at Training Camp honoring the teams female-focused fan club (Aug. 13). Families with Bucs fans 14 and under still can sign up for the Jr. Bucs Fan Club at this link.

By COLLEEN WRIGHTTAMPA BAY TIMESFrom March through May, city ocials were negotiating in granular detail with the Tampa Bay Rays and its partner, Hines, on redevelopment plans for Tropicana Field. How granular? Down to what it costs to rent light poles from the city. One thing is clear from a review of public records and interviews with ocials. After playing an active role in tossing bids then seeking new ones for the project, St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch is letting others hash out the details. He has turned negotiations over to his top deputies, county ocials who will have to bless public expenditures and outside consultants. Welch said he gets updates and is pleased with the progress so far. He said the discussions have been led by City Administrator Rob Gerdes and Pinellas County Administrator Barry Burton and that the city is on pace to “nalize a use agreement speci“c to the ballpark with Hines/Team this summer. Theyre doing a fantastic job and I get brie“ngs routinely on where they are,Ž Welch said. The city has worked hard to minimize a paper trail so as not to create much in the way of public records. A request for records produced an early proposed agreement outlined by Hines/Rays. It showed that St. Petersburg spent more than $100,000 on advisers and legal counsel regarding the Historic Gas Plant District project from March 1 to May 22. The draft agreement has been in the works since March 15. While his sta had copies, Welchs oce said he had no records involving the negotiations. We dont want to negotiate in the media,Ž Welch said. That hasnt been successful and thats why were taking this approach.Ž Bucs to open 10 training camp practices to spectatorsWhat we know about Rays stadium negotiations AP FILE PHOTOFans arrive at Tropicana Field before an opening day game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Detroit Tigers on March 30 in St. Petersburg.How USF lost the conference realignment War on I-4SEE RAYS , 12A SEE WAR , 10A

PAGE 10A THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comWe didnt win em all,Ž Orsini said, but we won enough of the key ones.Ž Enough to leave USF behind. HOW THE BOUNCE HOUSE BOOSTED UCF FOOTBALL UCF and USF ocials spent years having separate versions of the same conversation about building an on-campus football stadium. The Knights balked at a nine-“gure price tag to move from the Florida Citrus Bowl. The Bulls thoughts are best summed up by then-president Betty Castor in 1999, when she said a stadium was not part of my vision,Ž though she was open to the idea if someone wanted to give the school one. The Knights vision shifted in 2004 when they saw Marshalls recent facility expansion. If the Thundering Herd could add 8,000 seats for only $2.5 million, maybe a stadium wasnt out of UCFs price range after all. Thats the pitch booster Jerry Roth made two weeks later aboard his private plane en route to a game at Ball State with UCFs powerbrokers, including president John Hitt. I guarantee you, probably 98% of university presidents out there would have scoed at it and said, Cant do it,Ž said Tim Leonard, then a Knights administrator and now the athletic director at Southern Illinois. Hitt was in the 2%. Thirteen months later, UCFs trustees approved funding for a $51 million stadium. The Bounce House was coming. What is now called FBC Mortgage Stadium is not a football cathedral or architectural masterpiece. Bulls fans have ridiculed its Erector Set aesthetics since it opened in 2007, and one USF trustee even joked about its lack of water fountains during a recent meeting. But the 44,000-seat stadium has done its job. It changed the symbol of UCF,Ž said Marc Daniels, the longtime Voice of the Knights.Ž The Knights averaged 26,075 fans over their last four years at the Citrus Bowl. Excluding the 2020 COVID season, average attendance at the Bounce House has never dipped below 30,000. It has topped 40,000 in four consecutive seasons and outdrawn USF in eight of the last nine. The spike helped boost the budget. In 2006 (the last year at the Citrus Bowl), the Knights reported $4.3 million in football revenue to the U.S. Department of Education. That “gure doubled in 2008 and again in 2013. Since the Bounce House opened, UCF has cumulatively reported $67 million more football revenue than the Bulls. Bill Sutton noticed other, everyday changes as the associate director of UCFs sports management program. He rarely, if ever, saw Knights gear around campus before the stadium, then saw the number of UCF shirts and hats balloon. It was like an unbelievable transformation,Ž said Sutton, who later directed USFs Vinik Sport and Entertainment Management Program and led two Bulls athletic director searches. I had never seen anything like it.Ž The fan base swelled. UCF footballs combined following on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok exceeds 504,000. Thats almost double USFs following (256,000) and larger than at least three Big 12 incumbents (Baylor, Kansas and Iowa State). Twenty-six UCF games have drawn at least 1 million TV viewers since 2018, according to the website Sports Media Watch. Half topped 2 million. USF has had only seven games hit the 1 million mark with none over 2 million. That matters. One of the reasons UCF appealed to the Big 12 was its region that is rich in fans,Ž Texas Tech president Lawrence Schovanec (a former Big 12 board chairperson) said in 2021. Those fans have been energized, in part, by 16 years of on-campus football „ 16 more years than the Bulls have. USF is in the process of “xing that. Its trustees recently approved initial plans to open a $340 million stadium in 2026. The skepticism surrounding USFs decision is similar to what Leonard heard at UCF two decades ago. The Knights had the nations longest losing streak during its stadium push, while USF has four wins in three years. Both had been rejected in realignment. Both struggled with attendance. Despite the doubts, UCF bought into a vision for what it could become and believed a stadium was necessary to make it happen. OK, what do you think about it now?Ž Leonard said. Because it worked out pretty dang well.Ž UCF READ THE ROOM RIGHT. USF DIDNT. Though a stadium was UCFs biggest win, there were other, smaller ones that also centered on the biggest buzzword in college sports. It has to start with that alignment,Ž Orsini said. Alignment is hard to quantify, but it looks like a scene Orsini remembers after hiring George OLeary to coach the 2004 season. OLeary pulled a full, single-spaced notepad from the right-hand drawer of his desk with everything he thought the Knights needed. Then Orsini and OLeary went through the list, line by line, marking who was responsible for what. They wouldnt have gotten far without the buy-in of Orsinis boss. Hitt, UCFs president from 1992-2018, was an ex-Tulane professor devoted to education. He was also a former small-college football player who sat next to linemen on team ”ights. He believed two key things: that a big-time football program was vital to the academic success of a Southern school, and that there was no reason why UCF could not have a big-time football program. At some point, the sleeping giant has to wake upƒŽ Hitt told the Orlando Sentinel in 2006, 17 years before his death. At some point, you have to have the will and the guts to go for it.Ž With Hitt, the Knights had the guts to go for it. Between 2003-05, UCF: · Hired OLeary, the 2000 national coach of the year at Georgia Tech. · Provided a larger assistant coaching salary pool than Florida, FSU and Miami. · Formed a direct-support organization, the UCF Athletics Association, to streamline the department. · Opened the Wayne Densch Sports Center with new spaces for training and sports medicine. · Built the states “rst indoor practice facility. · Gave athletics a bridge loan to help cover an expected $1.4 million shortfall. Compare those actions to the ones at USF. The Bulls announced plans for an indoor facility under one coach (Charlie Strong), built it under a second (Je Scott) and formally opened it under a third (Alex Golesh). A direct-support organization? USF didnt certify one until June. They did it right 15 years ago,Ž former USF star quarterback Matt Grothe said, and were just trying to catch up.Ž The Bulls are trying to catch up on smaller, dayto-day items, too. Though USFs football budget topped the Knights from 2006-09, UCF has outspent the Bulls every year since. The collective total in the last decade, according to “gures submitted to the U.S. Department of Education: $51.5 million. Cliord Snow is surprised the gap is that small. He saw its eects daily in his two years as Strongs director of football operations. Snow had been warned by former Bulls staers from Skip Holtzs tenure that USF was a hard place to get things done. That was a program where you begged for things,Ž Snow said. Begged athletics for facilities upgrades. Begged dining services to do more with nutrition. Begged housing to separate a dismissed player from former teammates. Begged administrators for more academic spaces so “lm studies and tutoring sessions wouldnt have to “ght over the same room. It wasnt like that at Snows other stops, including Louisville „ which shared a conference with the Bulls then before jumping to the ACC. The light kind of goes on, and youve got to make a decision: Is it something you want to be in the game or not?Ž Snow said. And USF never took that step.Ž But why not? One explanation is that USF deemphasized sports by prioritizing education „ an understandable choice for a school. Its one president Rhea Law raised during a recent committee meeting. I think the important point here is that unlike many other universities that already have stadiums in our state and even outside our state, we did this a little dierent,Ž Law said. We focused on being preeminent “rst.Ž USF became the states third preeminent university in 2018 and hit another milestone this year with an invitation to the Association of American Universities, a select group of elite research schools. But the attention to academics came at a cost to athletics. Another is that UCFs hires were better “ts who made the right calls. In 2004 „ as USF was trying to establish itself as a football power „ the Bulls hired athletic director Doug Woolard from Saint Louis, a school without a football team. The Knights have cycled through athletic directors who had similar visions and werent afraid to “ght. Todd Stansbury helped UCF challenge an NCAA bowl ban for major recruiting violations; without its successful appeal in 2013, the Knights could not have beaten Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl. His successor, Danny White, was jeered for anointing UCF as the 2017 national champion, but the stunt caused interest and engagement to skyrocket. I think they had the right people in place for the majority of time, and they believed in sports,Ž USF all-time leading tackler Auggie Sanchez said. And I think were just now getting to that point.Ž A “nal explanation is that USFs brass became complacent because of budget constraints, hubris, apathy or some combination of the three. The Bulls didnt need fancy facilities to rise to No. 2 in the country under program architect Jim Leavitt. Why did they need to borrow or raise millions of dollars to build them now? UCF understood it was about more than just on-“eld successƒŽ said Shaun King, a former Bulls assistant and Bucs quarterback who hosts a daily show on DraftKings Network and YouTube TV. And whatever sacri“ces on the academic side they had to make, whatever sacri“ces from a strategic-planning standpoint they had to make “nancially, they knew to be a viable option „ to ultimately end up in one of the big conferences „ they had to upgrade the athletic infrastructure. UCF read the room right. USF didnt.ŽWARFROM PAGE 9A SPORTS ON TV GOLF8 a.m. GOLF „ DP World Tour: The Betfred British Masters, First Round, The Belfry, Sutton Coldfield, United Kingdom 12 p.m. GOLF „ PGA Tour Champions: The U.S. Senior Open, First Round, SentryWorld, Stevens Point, Wis. 3 p.m. GOLF „ PGA Tour: The Rocket Mortgage Classic, First Round, Detroit Golf Club, Detroit 6 p.m. GOLF „ PGA Tour Champions: The U.S. Senior Open, First Round, SentryWorld, Stevens Point, Wis. 7 p.m. TNT „ Capital Ones The Match: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce vs. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, The Wynn, Las Vegas TRUTV „ Capital Ones The Match: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce vs. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, The Wynn, Las VegasLACROSSE (MENS)8 p.m. ESPN2 „ World Championship: TBD, Semifinal, San Diego 11 p.m. ESPN2 „ World Championship: TBD, Semifinal, San DiegoMLB BASEBALL12:30 p.m. MLBN „ San Diego at Pittsburgh 3:30 p.m. MLBN „ Regional Coverage: NY Yankees at Oakland OR Tampa Bay at Arizona 7 p.m. ESPN „ 2023 Scotts MLB All-Star Starters Reveal Show MLBN „ Regional Coverage: Houston at St. Louis OR San Francisco at Toronto 10 p.m. MLBN „ Regional Coverage: LA Dodgers at Colorado OR Philadelphia at Chicago Cubs (Joined in Progress)NHL HOCKEY11 a.m. NHLN „ 2023 NHL Draft: Rounds 2-7, Nashville, Tenn.SOCCER (MENS)7:30 p.m. FS1 „ CONCACAF Gold Cup Group Stage: Qatar vs. Honduras, Group B, Glendale, Ariz. 10 p.m. FS1 „ CONCACAF Gold Cup Group Stage: Haiti vs. Mexico, Group B, Glendale, Ariz.SWIMMING7 p.m. PEACOCK „ U.S. National Championships: Qualifier Finals, IndianapolisTENNIS6 a.m. TENNIS „ Eastbourne ATP/WTA, Bad Homburg-WTA, Mallorca-ATP Quarterfinals 6 a.m. (Friday) TENNIS „ Eastbourne ATP/WTA, Bad Homburg-WTA, Mallorca-ATP SemifinalsWNBA BASKETBALL10 p.m. CBSSN „ Minnesota at Seattle NBATV „ Indiana at Phoenix PRIME VIDEO „ New York at Las VegasBETTING LINE MLBAmerican League FAVORITE LINE UNDERDOG LINE at TEXAS -240 Detroit +198 Cleveland -166 at KANSAS CITY +140 N.Y Yankees -162 at OAKLAND +136 at LA ANGELS -130 Chicago White Sox +110 National League FAVORITE LINE UNDERDOG LINE San Diego -198 at PITTSBURGH +166 at N.Y METS -184 Milwaukee +154 Philadelphia -124 at CHICAGO CUBS +106 LA Dodgers -210 at COLORADO +176 Interleague FAVORITE LINE UNDERDOG LINE Tampa Bay -152 at ARIZONA +128 at BOSTON -124 Miami +106 at TORONTO OFF San Francisco OFF Houston -116 at ST.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 PAGE 11ANHL By JOHN WAWROWAP HOCKEY WRITERNASHVILLE, Tenn. „ The Chicago Blackhawks selected Connor Bedard with the “rst pick in the NHL draft on Wednesday night, kick-starting a hopeful new era with a highly skilled oensive forward whos drawn comparisons to Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby. Bedard became the second No. 1 pick in Blackhawks history, joining Patrick Kane, who went “rst overall in 2007 and helped form the core of a team that won three Stanley Cups from 2010 to 2015. Though Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson declined to reveal who he would take “rst since winning the draft lottery in May, Bedard was considered Chicagos target all along among a prospect class “lled with talented forwards. Its incredible. I couldnt be happier,Ž Bedard said. His debut could very well be against Crosby on the NHLs opening night on Oct. 10, when Chicago is scheduled to play at Pittsburgh. I got to make it “rst, but that would be unreal. Hes a big idol of mine,Ž Bedard said. The less predictable portion of the draft began with the Anaheim Ducks selecting Swedish forward Leo Carlsson, who was regarded as the top European skater. With the third pick, the Columbus Blue Jackets took Michigan forward Adam Fantilli, who became the third freshman to win college hockeys top award, the Hobey Baker Trophy. The “rst American player o the board went fourth, when the San Jose Sharks selected USA Hockey Development Program forward Will Smith, who is from Boston and has committed to playing at Boston College next season. Defenseman David Reinbacher, from Austria, went to Montreal at No. 5, but had to wait a few extra seconds to hear his name called. Announcing the pick, Canadiens goalie Carey Price stopped after saying David,Ž apparently forgetting the players last name. General manager Kent Hughes came to the rescue and said: We planned it that way. Its David Reinbacher.Ž The Arizona Coyotes went with what was considered an o-the-board pick by selecting Russian defenseman Dmitriy Simashev a year after drafting “ve defensemen. They passed over forward Matvei Michkov, who has captivated draft watchers because the oensively skilled player is under contract to play in his native Russia through the 2025-26 season. The Philadelphia Flyers ended Michkovs wait with the seventh pick. A large contingent of Blackhawks fans were in attendance, with an exceptionally loud cheer going up during the pre-draft roll call of teams when it came Chicagos turn. They cheered even louder, followed by chants of Lets go Hawks!Ž when Bedard took the stage and pulled on a No. 98 jersey, which hes worn for much of his career. Well see. Well let him “gure that out,Ž Davidson said, when asked about his expectations for Bedard. Hes a pretty special player, a very special person. Well let him determine how special that “rst season is.Ž Weeks shy of his 18th birthday, Bedard has spent much of the past two years projected as this years top draft prospect. From North Vancouver, British Columbia, Bedard has done nothing to give pause to the high projections after posting 100-point seasons in back-to-back years with the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League. His 71 goals in 57 games last season were the most by a WHL player in 24 years, and his 143 points were the most since 1995-96. At just under 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds, Bedard is regarded a generational prospect, much like McDavid, who was selected “rst in 2015 and this week was named the leagues MVP for the third time. The Blackhawks have already begun re“tting their roster to help Bedards development by acquiring veterans Taylor Hall (the “rst pick in the 2010 draft) and Nick Foligno in a trade with Boston this week. Davidson spent much of the past year tearing his roster down, dating to last years draft when the Blackhawks stockpiled picks by trading Alex DeBrincat and Kirby Dach on consecutive days. The overhaul continued when Chicago traded Kane to the New York Rangers in February and closed the year by parting ways with longtime captain Jonathan Toews.Bedard taken first by Blackhawks AP PHOTO/GEORGE WALKER IVChicago Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson poses with rst round draft pick Connor Bedard during the rst round of Wednesdays NHL draft.

PAGE 12A THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comA DIFFERENT APPROACH Welch predecessor Rick Kriseman had spent months soliciting bids for redeveloping Tropicana Field and its 86 acres and announced the team he had picked before leaving oce. Welch scrapped those oers as one of his “rst major acts as mayor. He then went on a listening tour in the community, getting public feedback on what should go there. He then crafted and solicited new bids with an emphasis on making good on promises to the predominantly Black Gas Plant community displaced to make way for the current stadium. Welch at the time said he was reading each of the four proposals before he alone selected Hines/Rays. Asked if its dicult to be “lled in without having documents to look at, Welch said, No, I dream about this stu. So no, its not hard to keep track.Ž He said he knows Gerdes and Burton are doing a good job based on his conversations with them and with Hines/Rays. According to his calendars, Welch usually has a weekly 3 p.m. Monday meeting to discuss Tropicana Field, mostly held over Zoom video. Gerdes calendar often shows scheduled brie“ngs about the redevelopment with City Council members. Its puzzling to me that the mayor would not have any of these important documents in his possession to read and review for himself,Ž said City Council member Gina Driscoll. I had been under the impression that he was more deeply involved in working out the nuts and bolts of this agreement.Ž In a text, City Council chairperson Brandi Gabbard said she couldnt speak to the administrations or mayors process for receiving updates on the agreement and negotiations. I can con“rm that Rob Gerdes is the point of contact and that all of the updates I have received have been verbal as well,Ž she said. Council member John Muhammad said it was interestingŽ that Welch had no documents, but I think everybody has their process and the way they feel comfortable moving things forward.Ž Im not sure what contributed to that change in process,Ž he said. You make the adjustments you need to get the job done.Ž As long as we get the right outcome,Ž Muhammad said. NUTS AND BOLTS The draft memorandum of understanding dated March 15 by the Hines/Rays team excludes 17.3 acres for the ballpark. Negotiations about the ballpark itself are happening simultaneously but separate from the redevelopment of the rest of the downtown land parcel. The ballpark will remain public property while the rest of the land is expected to be sold. The preliminary plan includes 4,869 market-rate residences, 731 aordable homes for families of four making $69,500 or less and 128 workforce units for families of four earning $104,280 or less. The draft plan also includes 600 senior living residences. It also contemplates 700 hotel rooms, 1.4 million square feet of of oce, 320,000 square feet of retail and 50,000 square feet of entertainment space. It would further include 14,000 structured parking stalls, 14 acres of dedicated open space and 32 acres of public community and civic/cultural uses. O site, Rays/Hines plan to commit $15 million to rental assistance and homeownership programs throughout St. Petersburg. The development is subject to the Community Bene“ts Agreement, which is currently undergoing tweaks. The city is counting the $15 million to o-site housing as a bene“t. It would also include $10 million for the Woodson African American Museum of Florida, $13 million for employment, entrepreneur and business creation initiatives and $3.75 million for internship programs. Hines/Rays has proposed a minimum commitment of 10% of the work to be done by small and minority businesses, with a goal of increasing that participation to 20%. Members of the Hines/Rays and city sta are also in active discussions regarding the community bene“ts agreement and how that work could line up with other eorts to revitalize other areas south of the stadium. The total land value is expected to be a minimum of $97 million. Before the new construction, Rays/Hines would purchase parcels from the city, according to the draft.RAYSFROM PAGE 9ATENNIS By HOWARD FENDRICHAP TENNIS WRITERIga Swiatek is coming o her third title in the past four years on the French Opens red clay. Last September, she won a championship on the U.S. Opens hard courts for the “rst time. Thats also the surface used at the Australian Open, where shes been to the semi“nals. And what about on grass courts? Wimbledon, which begins Monday, has been her least successful Grand Slam tournament so far. Swiatek is just 5-3 at the All England Club „ compare that to her 28-2 mark at Roland Garros, for example „ and those three losses came in the “rst round, third round and fourth round. Swiatek, who has been ranked No. 1 since April 2022, oered a bit of insight on how she views her game on grass when she was asked in Paris this month about whether reaching the latter stages of a major is still a big deal to her. Well, it depends, because ... if I would (make) a quarter“nal of Wimbledon, I would be, like, over the moon,Ž Swiatek replied, and I wouldnt believe that Im in that place.Ž So even though other players might concur with the sort of assessment Claire Liu, an American ranked in the Top 100, provided after facing Swiatek in Paris this year „ Id say shes good on pretty much any surfaceŽ „ the subject of playing on the slick green stu tends to bring certain sentiments to mind for the 22-year-old from Poland. Two words she repeats when discussing grass: uncomfortableŽ and challenge.Ž Its such a contrast from how she feels on clay. And yet, lets not forget: Swiatek was the 2018 junior champion at Wimbledon, so its not as if its a completely foreign surface or setting. Still, she insists, On grass, sometimes its tougher and I still have to learn a lot.Ž It just feels like youre going to go on court and not play the way you should,Ž she said, making air quotes with her “ngers, or the way you could, you know? So this thing is adding more pressure.Ž All of what she does so well on clay or hard courts seemingly should translate just “ne to grass. That big forehand of hers. The way she can defend so well. And, above all, the way Swiatek can think her way around a match, “nd an opponents weaknesses and counter her own with tweaks here and there. There are, to be sure, other women who have already shown they can do well on grass and at Wimbledon. Players such as 2022 champion Elena Rybakina, 2022 runner-up Ons Jabeur, two-time winner Petra Kvitova, 2021 semi“nalist Aryna Sabalenka. But there are not a lot of folks who are going to doubt that Swiatek will “gure things out at some point. Its the power,Ž said Agnieszka Radwanska, the 2012 runner-up to Serena Williams at the All England Club and the only Polish woman to reach the singles “nal there in the past 85 years. There are other players hitting the ball very strong,Ž Radwanska said, before explaining that Swiateks heavy topspin gives her shots more of a chance of landing in with consistency, as opposed to the ”at strokes that create more misses to the fence.Ž Thats the dierence,Ž Radwanska said. A big dierence.Ž After watching her beat Karolina Muchova in three sets in the “nal at Roland Garros, French Open tournament director Amelie Mauresmo said she thinks Swiatek has what it takes to thrive at the All England Club. She has to make maybe one or two adjustments, maybe technically or in her game,Ž said Mauresmo, a former No. 1-ranked player who won Wimbledon and the Australian Open in 2006, but I dont see why, with her consistency, with her physical abilities and, of course, mentally „ how she “ghts and how she gives a lot of trouble to the other girls „ she wouldnt be able to have a breakthrough there.ŽSwiatek is No. 1 and owns 4 Grand Slam titles at age 22Can she win Wimbledon, too?

THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM Local News By BARB RICHARDSONSUN CORRESPONDENTENGLEWOOD „ The destruction of the former Checkers restaurant in the Merchants Crossing shopping center by Hurricane Ian has provided an opportunity for the Mosaic Red Hat Group of Atlanta, Georgia. Last week, the Charlotte County Community Development Department issued a permit to the company to remodel the existing Checkers restaurant into a new Arbys restaurant, signaling a return of the popular dining spot to Englewood and an end to the eyesore that the Checkers has become. Justin Polk, director of construction for Mosaic, wrote in an email that the company does not plan for a complete demolition but rather a remodel of the existing building to Arbys standards.Ž Engineering plans submitted to the county show a 1,558-square-foot structure about the same footprint of the existing building for the site. Most of the space is set aside for a 1,132-square-foot kitchen space and a 15-square-foot waiting area, according to the plans. Arbys once operated a restaurant about a half-mile east at 1970 S. McCall Road „ where Marcos Pizza is now „ but abandoned Englewood several years ago. Polk added that it will be a drivethrough-only facility, but there will be a walk-in lobby for delivery partners such as DoorDash or Grubhub or picking up of orders. Currently, the nearest Arbys is at 430 U.S. 41 North Bypass in Venice.

Ronnie RickŽ Ellis By FRANK DIFIORESTAFF WRITERARCADIA „ A couple allegedly bought their neighbors property for $1, and promised in exchange to take care of him in his old age. After several calls about that neighbors welfare, the couple were arrested on Monday on allegations of “nancial exploitation. Scott Allen Hartley, 54, and Katherine Kay Hartley, 55, were both charged with one count of “nancial exploitation of an elderly person. According to court records, both have since been released from DeSoto County Jail on bond: $25,000 for Scott Hartley and $15,000 for Katherine Hartley. Deputies with the DeSoto County Sheris Oce recalled several encounters with the 80-year-old alleged victim since September of last year. That September, Katherine Hartley had made a missing person report for the alleged victim, who lived on a property adjacent to the Hartleys on SW U.S. Highway 17. The elderly man was later found at home, and deputies noted that he appeared to show signs of diminished mental capacity. Deputies also alleged that property records showed that the alleged victim had signed a quitclaim deed in December, signing his property over to the Hartleys for $1. When deputies spoke with the elderly man about the arrangement, he allegedly told them that he had agreed to sign over his property so that the Hartleys could help care for him for the remainder of his life; after he died, they would be allowed to deal with the property as theirs. However, the adavit noted that there was no language for that agreement in the quitclaim deed. Deputies also reported that the alleged victim showed signs of neglect and inability to attend to his own aairs. In February, for instance, the elderly victim was allegedly caught attempting to shoplift food from a local Walmart. He told deputies that he had tried to pay multiple times, but each time his card was declined. It was later determined that he had confused his EBT card and his health insurance card, and was trying to pay for groceries with the latter. Later in February, deputies were called to a neighboring property after reports of gunshots “red. They ultimately found the elderly victim, who told deputies that he was shooting at rats that had gotten into his home with a .22-caliber revolver. Deputies also alleged that the Hartleys had made at least two calls to DCSO to make complaints about their neighbor regarding alleged aggressive behavior, where they referred to him as a tenant.Ž Both times they did not want to press charges; however, Katherine Hartley did ask about evaluating the alleged victim for a Baker Act commitment. They were told at the time that he did not meet the criteria for the Baker Act to be invoked, since he was not a threat to himself or others. The Hartleys previously claimed that the elderly neighbor had no family in the area to help him, explaining why he turned to them for help. However, deputies did meet with the alleged victims sister at one of his court appearances. During that conversation, according to the adavit, the sister said that the elderly man could feed himself but had issues with his memory and paying bills. She also allegedly tipped law enforcement o about the alleged $1 deed transfer, arguing that her brother was in no mental state to make such an agreement. Following their arrest this week, the Hartleys were given an order of no contact for the victim and were subjected to pre-trial supervised release. They are due to return to court on July 31. Email: frank.di“ore@yoursun.comArcadia couple charged with elder exploitationDeputies: Suspects bought elderly neighbors home for $1 under false pretensesS. HARTLEY K. HARTLEY STAFF REPORTPORT CHARLOTTE „ Three suspects were arrested for allegedly attempting to steal more than $5,700 in retail goods from a local Kohls store. The Charlotte County Sheris Oce announced the arrests in a Wednesday news release and referred to the suspects as part of a statewide trend of organized retail theft.Ž The three suspects were identi“ed as Davaja Ford, 22; Dontavious Thomas, 27; and Tamesha Davis, 31. The attempted theft was reported to CCSO around 1 p.m. on Saturday. According to the news release, the call came from an employee at the Kohls department store located on Cochran Boulevard. The caller alleged that three individuals had been observed concealing merchandise in bags and a red suitcase. He noted that he recognized one of the individuals from a past theft and was watching them closely for this reason,Ž the news release stated. Deputies arrived outside the store and waited in the parking lot. According to authorities, the suspects began to exit the store and spotted the deputies. They then retreated back into the store and dropped the merchandise on the ”oor. The suspects then attempted to split up and ”ee the scene, before being detained by deputies on-scene. The news release noted that one of the suspects, later identi“ed as Davis, had been convicted on multiple charges of retail thefts in the past. Davis had also just began a term of probation for grand theft out of Lee County three days before the alleged June 24 theft. A search of each suspect was conducted, with an antitheft device removal tool allegedly being found inside of a purse carried by Thomas. Charlotte County Sheri Bill Prummell praised the Kohls employee for thinking quickly to contact 911, along with the deputies who responded at the scene. These three are now in the Find Out phase of their poor choices, with one proving that she simply didnt learn her lesson last time, placed on probation just three days prior to this incident,Ž Prummell stated.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 PAGE 3B By BARB RICHARDSONSUN CORRESPONDENTSARASOTA „ Its taken nearly three years, but a Sarasota woman horribly injured by the negligence of a Sarasota County employee will “nally receive compensation. Earlier this month, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a claims bill for Kristen Stewart, “led with the Florida Legislature on her behalf by Sen. Joe Gruters who represents Sarasota County in the Florida Senate. In May 2022, county commissioners approved a settlement with Stewart, awarding her $5.95 million for her pain and suering contingent upon approval by the Legislature. State law prohibits a county from paying more than $200,000 in damages without legislative approval, and since the 2022 legislative session had ended by the time the Sarasota County Commission formally approved the settlement, 2023 was the earliest Gruters could “le the bill. Stewart had originally sought $8.5 to $10 million from the county in the lawsuit she “led against the county in December 2020. The countys negligence was clear, then-County Attorney Rick Elbrecht told commissioners. On May 13, 2020, a work truck owned by Sarasota County and operated by county employee Tsuguo Kanayama drove o the roadway onto the sidewalk along Bahia Vista Street in Sarasota striking Stewart, who was jogging, from behind and dragging her some 60 feet down the sidewalk. Her injuries were: torn skin on her torso, hips and arms; a crushed pelvis; a lacerated liver causing injury to her kidneys, stomach and colon; and broken ribs and vertebrae. She spent three months in a hospital bed receiving treatment and she told commissioners in May 2022 that she would continue to receive signi“cant care and treatment in the future.Ž The Florida Senate approved the claims bill with only one negative vote from Sen. Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, followed by the Legislature which approved it unanimously. A general liability policy held by the county will pay $1 million of the $5.95 million settlement with the remainder coming from the countys self-funded risk pool.

PAGE 4B THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com OUR VIEWMalaria threat calls for cautionOUR POSITION: The reality of malariacarrying mosquitoes in the area is reason for caution, not panic.No one has ever been fond of mosquitoes. Theyre annoying. Their bite can sting and itch. They can ruin romantic evenings by the lake, or gulf. But, even worse, they can infect people with diseases, including malaria „ a disease that in its most dangerous state can be deadly. Mosquito-borne malaria has been con“rmed in Sarasota County. At least four people were diagnosed and treated recently „ all of them infected locally. Thankfully, the breed of mosquitoes that caused the disease in Sarasota County carries a less deadly type of the disease. According to Dr. Manuel Gordillo Jr., infection disease specialist at Sarasota Memorial Hospital who was quoted in The Daily Sun this week, the mosquito found in northern Sarasota County is the plasmodium vivax mosquito. This mosquito ”ies in the late evening, usually between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. and also at dawn. But, they cant ”y far. At best, about a mile according to Gordillo. The best protection against the threat of being bitten and contracting malaria is to stay away from, and eliminate, standing water. That is where you “nd concentrations of mosquitoes. If theres no standing water, chances are mosquitoes wont reach you. There are obvious symptoms of malaria „ much like the ”u. They. include body aches, headaches, belly pain, chills, headaches and diarrhea. A more severe type of malaria will cause seizures, mental confusion, hemoglobinuria, kidney failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, coma and parasitemia. Ocials The Daily Sun talked to for the story earlier this week urged anyone experiencing these symptoms to seek medical advice. There is a blood test which will show if you have malaria. People very young, the very old and pregnant women are at higher risk of more severe illness,Ž the CDC states. While so far, the only cases discovered have been in Sarasota County, ocials in both DeSoto and Charlotte counties are issuing warnings for people to take precautions. DeSoto County Health Department Administrator Penny Pringle said her job is to alert people to the danger because of the cases breaking out in the county next door. The Charlotte County Health Department plans to put out a news release asking residents to drain open containers like birdbaths and other items and cover them to not have standing water in their yards, which attracts mosquitoes. Diseased mosquitoes are being found in Sarasota County at more than one location. Jae Willams, state health department spokesperson, said ocials will not pinpoint where infestations were found but they have located three dierent mosquito clusters with 50 or more diseased mosquitoes with malaria earlier this month. Doing all you can to get rid of standing water is very important. Also, be sure to spray on repellant if you go out in the evening and wear long sleeves. For more information or to request a mosquito control technician spray for mosquitoes in Sarasota County, call 941-861-5000. For more information in Charlotte County, call 941-764-4370. For more information on the CDC malaria hotline, call 770-488-7788. Were fortunate those found to be infected were treated and are doing well. Its necessary to take every precaution, however. Just the word malaria should be enough to motivate all of us to follow the advice on how to stay safe. Voting is a responsibilityE:I cast my “rst vote in the 1968 Presidential election. I was always proud of my I votedŽ sticker but besides attending some anti-war rallies over the next few years, that was where my participation in our democratic system ended. It wasnt until Frank Zappa set up voter registration booths at a Tower Theater concert I attended, that it occurred to me that sometimes under dire circumstances additional participation is required. Now is one of those times. Despite record turnout, 80 million Americans did not vote in the 2020 Presidential election. Those numbers are shameful, and this is why I am encouraging every American who cares about our democracys future to increase their participation in our democratic system. Write letters, make phone calls, knock on doors, attend rallies, throw parties, or at the very least bug your friends and neighbors to vote. Its essential! I dont have to tell you who to vote for because if you care about our democracy, you know there is only one choice. One party supports restricting voting rights, banning books, attacking womens freedom, assault ri”es in every household, and making your child feel guilty for supporting his friend who is dierent. Despite all the ”ags they wave at you, these things are un-American. The other party, no matter who is at the top or bottom of the ticket, supports truth, justice, and the values this nation was founded on. So dont just vote but participate like our democracy depends on it! Because it does. D C Port Charlotte PUBLISHER Glen Nickerson COMMENTARY EDITOR John HackworthViewpoint As I read the headlines surrounding the still uncertain future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, even as we reached its 11th anniversary on June 15, I cannot help but re”ect on the privilege that many of us hold as U.S. citizens. This is highlighted, for example, in the story of Jaime Avalos, a young man who was stranded in Mexico for six months due to an error in his immigration paperwork. Unlike Avalos, I can choose to read these headlines (or not) with con“dence that regardless of what is said, my life and home will very likely remain the same. My U.S. citizenship aords me that certainty. But for many DACA recipients, their status is increasingly tenuous. An October 2022 court ruling placed more than 600,000 undocumented youth who are protected by DACA in danger of losing the only home they have known. By ruling that DACA was unlawful, the court threw those enrolled in it into a deeper state of fear. DACA was established in 2012 during the Obama administration as a means of oering work and educational opportunities „ and a reprieve from deportation „ to young people who entered the United States as children. On average, most DACA recipients entered the country at age 7. Since its inception, DACA recipients have faced countless hurdles, such as in 2017 when the Trump administration decided to rescind the program. In January of this year, nine states appealed to a federal judge in Texas to end the DACA program with a decision pending on the legality of the program. The only things that remain certain now are the hope, tirelessness and perseverance from youth across the country who continue to wait for their future to be decided. One source of relief came on Feb. 10 with the reintroduction of a bipartisan Dream Act, which would oer a pathway to citizenship, but the ultimate outcome remains to be seen. As a child and adolescent psychologist, I wonder what this chronic state of uncertainty will mean for the long-term mental health of undocumented youth who are protected by DACA. The short answer is that it is unlikely to mean anything positive. Narratives from unauthorized youth depict common challenges, dreams and the disorienting experience of remaining invisible. In 2020, United We Dream, the largest immigrant youthled network in the United States, partnered with the Latinx Immigrant Health Alliance to survey more than 650 unauthorized youth and adults; 68% of those surveyed had DACA status. The report revealed high levels of stress and clinically signi“cant levels of depression and anxiety. As someone living in the United States, I cant help but consider the impact of lost jobs and economic contributions on the economy if DACA is rescinded. DACA households contribute an estimated $6.2 billion in federal taxes and $3.3 billion in state and local taxes each. If these workers are forced to leave, the United States is projected to lose roughly 22,000 jobs per month for the next two years. As a human being, I feel compelled to act and speak out. Undocumented youth who are protected by DACA should have a familiar and safe place to call home. While immigration is undeni ably polarizing, we can all identify with the universal feelings of angst and excitement that come with young adulthood. Its a time for “guring out who we are, what we like and where we “t in. DACA recipients are like the teenagers we were „ except that theyre living with the perpetual threat of being uprooted. Inaction should no longer be an option. I choose to believe that good outcomes are still possible, but hard work and determination are not always enough to “nish the job. Empathy and a willingness to truly see and respect the othersŽ humanity are also needed. To close his State of the Union speech in February, President Joe Biden expressed his optimism for the future of America: We just have to remember who we are. We are the United States of America and there is nothing, nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together.Ž Yes, Mr. President and members of Congress, lets “nish the job and help pave the way for a new generation of youth to enjoy the privilege of believing that, too.

Daily Break THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM By NICOLE HVIDSTEN STAR TRIBUNEA Table Set for SisterhoodŽ feeds our minds with the inspiring stories of 35 women and the recipes created just for them. Call it the tale of two Ashl(e)ys. Chef Ashley Schütz and illustrator Ashly Jernigan are both married to Swiss men, moved from Southern California to Switzerland „ in the same month, where they both are raising two children. They work in creative “elds and even have the same name „ give or take a vowel. It seemed only right that their paths would cross. Thanks to social media, they did. Jernigan had been researching and illustrating a dierent woman every day for 100 days, posting her work on Instagram with the hashtag #100daysofaweinspiringwomen. Schütz took notice. I was incredibly inspired by these stories, and her ability to uniquely illustrate each one,Ž Schütz said. Since food is my love language, and the table is where we share our very best stories, I proposed that we marry our two talents, and the book concept was born.Ž Their collaboration, A Table Set for Sisterhood: 35 Recipes Inspired by 35 Female IconsŽ (Sourcebooks, $27.99), was released earlier this month. Each entry „ which range from pop culture icons like Lizzo and Aretha Franklin to war correspondent Dickey Chapelle and notorious RBG „ is accompanied by a quote, a brief history lesson, the genesis of the recipe, a discussion question and Jernigans bold, colorful illustrations. It was the “rst book for both of them, but hopefully not our last „ together or otherwise,Ž Jernigan said. We talked with them via email about celebrating women and healing through the power of food. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity. With so many deserving women, how did you narrow the list down to 35? Illustrator Ashly Jernigan: This was not easy. Making sure we were representing a wide variety of women was incredibly important to us. Inspiration in food pairings helped us along the way as well. Lets just say we certainly have more than enough women waiting in the wings for a sequel. Chef Ashley Schütz: We wanted to create a book that was a tight time capsule of powerful legacies. A handysized book with a variety of recipe options, and representation of many dierent women was at the helm of our decision making. The recipes seem like they are written expressly for each woman. What was your thought process for creating those recipes? AJ: It always started with a deep dive into each womans story. We needed to know her before we could illustrate or pair her with a recipe. Wed consider her strengths, her homeland, her passions. Sometimes I would start illustrating and Ashley would get inspired by the color choices Id chosen. Other times Ashley would take the lead with ingredients and ”avors, and then I would start to draw. Each woman and recipe came together in her own unique way. AS: The “nal recipes and illustrations were purely a creative interpretation of what we thought would highlight each womans greatness. While I would start playing around with ingredients in my kitchen, Ashly would begin illustrating at her home and wed share the layers of our progress continuously until we landed in a mutual place. What were some of the lessons you learned in producing this book? AJ: So often, Id go into illustrating one of these women with a personal struggle weighing heavy on me. As I would draw, their story swimming in my mind, no joke, I would feel their power buoying me up and getting me through whatever diculty I came to my drawing table with. These women have truly made me better. AS : Most importantly, how vivacious and persistent the female spirit is. What are your favorite recipes from the book? AJ: Id have to go with Gloria Steinems Caramelized Fennel Pasta. Turns out fennel caramelizes in a similar way to onions, but with an incredibly unique, gorgeous ”avor. And then with the lemon zest? Be still my heart. AS: I am terrible at picking favorites, but one recipe I make constantly is Greta Thunbergs Creamy Chipotle Dip „ creamy with cashew and spicy from canned chipotles, it whips up in minutes and it always surprises guests to have a non-bean based dip on the table. Also, being a girl from Southern California, my heart sings for anything citrus-laden so Hedy Lamarrs Vibrant Lemon Poppyseed Bundt Cake is a constant all year round. If you each created a recipe for the other, what would it be? AJ: Seeing as Im not the chef here, this is a bit dicult for me. I suppose Id dream up a dish based around things that come to mind when I think of Ashley: 1. The Golden State. Im thinking bright, vibrant, fresh ”avors. 2. Her incredible ability to nurture others, so grounding, wholesome ingredients would be crucial. 3. Her con“dence. I think this could translate to a good level of spice. Id then, of course, make Ashley come up with the recipe. AS: I remember Ashly telling me once that her mothers chicken paprikash was a soul food for her. Channeling that, Id make it plant-based with seasonal vegetables, dressed in a creamy sauce that is heavily spiced with smoked paprika. The color of the sauce will perfectly mimic the red earth from her beautiful hometown of Sedona, Arizona. Of course, it would all be paired with buttered noodles „ because if there is one ingredient that she puts on a godly pedestal, its butter. Each recipe also features a conversation starter „ The Question at the Table.Ž Why did you decide to include that? AJ: Though this may seem like a small element in each pro“le, it was a really important feature for us. By introducing these women through food, we are bringing their stories to the table. And what better way to solidify each womans stories in our memories than through heartfelt discussion inspired by her legacy? AS: Providing a Question at the TableŽ was already a personal practice in my home. It brings all conversations into one place and provides an opportunity for everyone to feel heard. It unites everyones unique stories in such an abundant way. The true backbone of this book is to bring the stories of women to the table where they can be shared and celebrated. Whats next for each of you? AJ: As an illustrator, Im excited to get back to working freelance again. This adventure has been incredible, but I do look forward to working with clients and helping their visions come to life. AS: As a freelance chef, I am constantly “nding ways to create magic at the table for clients. On the side I also cook speci“cally for postpartum mothers in my community, helping women to heal through the power of food. I also have a few writing ventures in the wings as stories and food are always swimming together in my mind. VEGAN FRENCH TOAST In 2020, Lizzo decided to adopt a vegan lifestyle, but shes also a lover of good food. Did you know she was even tempted by the idea of becoming a professional food critic? (Us too!) We wanted to make Lizzo something shed love „ a dish bright with nostalgia, a comfort food so craveworthy shed wonder how it could possibly be vegan. French toast! Weve got a delicious vegan custard made with coconut milk, turmeric and cinnamon to soak your bread of choice in. We think Lizzo would approve of this golden fried bread topped with a cube of vegan butter (or dairy butter if you like „ you do you, girl!), swimming in a sea of maple syrup. Lizzo shares her personal mantra at the end of every concert by asking each person in the audience to go home, and repeat these words until they feel the truth of it throughout their bodies. I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. AND YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.Ž The Question at the Table: What self-love habit do you incorporate into your daily routine? If you dont have one, what can you start doing today to show yourself that you care and that you are worth it?New cookbook takes inspiration from female iconsIt includes recipes, quotes and discussion questions ILLUSTRATION BY ASHLY JERNIGANLizzo is among the female icons authors Ashley Schutz and Ashly Jernigan featured in their new book, A Table Set for Sisterhood.Ž SOURCEBOOKS VEGAN FRENCH TOASTSERVES: 4 to 6.4 tablespoons cornstarch ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk 3 teaspoons maple syrup, plus more for drizzling 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon sea salt ‡ teaspoon ground turmeric (for color) 6 to 8 soft bread slices (¾ to-1-inch thick), such as challah, brioche or thick sandwich bread Vegan butter or vegetable oil for cookingDIRECTIONSAdd the cornstarch and coconut milk to a low, wide bowl and whisk well to eliminate any lumps. Add maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and turmeric, and whisk to combine. Set slices of bread into the coconut mixture, and leave to soak on each side for at least a minute or two. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt butter or oil of choice, and swirl it around the pan. Add slices of soaked bread to the hot pan, and allow to cook until you see the edges browning. Refuse the urge to check, or youll disturb the crisp browning that the cornstarch helps with. Flip when ready, and cook the other side equally. Continue with remaining slices. Top your golden stack of French toast with butter (vegan or otherwise) and a good dose (dont hold back here) of pure maple syrup.

The woman who famously combined a tutu with spiky heels on Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City,Ž and made a plaid bucket hat cool on Lily Collins in Emily in ParisŽ has a way of making high fashion feel accessible to the masses. She explains how she does it in the new documentary, Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field,Ž which recently premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The “lm is directed by Michael Selditch, who also directed the CNN docu-series ŽAmerican StyleŽ in 2019. While interviewing Field for that series, he found a bold character with a unique, unconventional style of mixing color and patterns and designer looks with street wear. While at “rst Field resisted the idea of a documentary crew following her around, she “nally relented and says shes pleased with the result. The Emmy-winning Field, 81, was behind the inventive out“ts on Ugly BettyŽ and is known for styling “lms as well, including The Devil Wears Prada,Ž which earned her an Oscar nod. The Associated Press sat down with Field and Selditch recently to talk about her process, that tutu, and which item everyone should have in their closet. Answers have been shortened for brevity and clarity. How did you get Pat to agree to this documentary? SELDITCH: I said to her, You know, anybody can make a documentary on you. We can always “nd people to sit down and talk about working with you and say wonderful things and throw in archival footage. But thats not exactly the documentary I want to make. I want to watch your process. I want to see you shop. I want to see you working with actors. I want to really make it verite and watch you work and get inside your head and be a ”y on the wall.Ž And I said, If we dont do it now, when are you going to do it?Ž What is a typical costume tting like for you? FIELD: Theres a person and then theres a character. But behind that character is the person, and its really important that they feel good because that is, in my mind, my responsibility. Its not about dictating to actors whats good and whats not good. Its about giving them choices and, of course, getting to know them. Once you get to know them, it becomes a little bit more automatic. Like Sarah Jessica Parker, I know her. I worked with her before. I know her taste. Its about the relationship and making sure that the actor in front of that camera is comfortable, positive and ready to go. Your costumes on Sex and The CityŽ helped make designer brands feel more attainable by mixing high fashion accessories with basic o-the-rack clothes. Was that intentional? FIELD: Lets talk about mixing high and low. I think that you cant just wear high or you cant just wear low. People say, orange and red dont go together.Ž Well, they go together in a fruit bowl! (smiles) Its nature. And whats wrong with it? So I go by this little philosophy of mine and I tend to not get distracted by mores or rules or whatever comes across. Its just my expression and if I feel good about it and the actor does, then its “ne. The white tutu and gold CarrieŽ necklace have become iconic items. Do you know when youre putting something like that on an actor that its going to hit? FIELD: I dont always have that same formula of knowing beforehand what its going to be. But I have my taste. Its not haphazard for me, and I guess its my formula and I guess it works for me. Its very important. Dressing someone, man or woman, its a two way street. Its always best to establish a positive relationship and when the actor trusts you, youre home free. SELDITCH: One of the things I really love and admire about Pat is that she goes with her gut in her work and in her life. And I think that what youre looking at there, like the tutu, its just in her gut, it felt right to her. Other people might be like, Why?Ž But to her it felt right. And it turned out to be. Whats an accessory you think everyone should have? FIELD: I like a belt because the belt de“nes the waist and you know, all this like loose, shapeless clothing „ I dont “nd it very exciting. So Im de“nitely a belt girl.Sex and the City designer on Carries iconic looks, a must-have fashion itemPatricia Field goes with her gut and finds success AP/INVISION/CHRISTOPHER SMITHPatricia Field, left, and Michael Selditch in New York June 7 to promote Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field,Ž which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. Its not about dictating to actors whats good and whats not good.

ROACH: I am 71. In November 2021, my cardiologist prescribed me 40 mg of atorvastatin in case of chest pain before any tests. I subsequently had a stress test with perfusion that came out negative, as did an echocardiogram (TTE). My coronary calcium score is 83. I rejected a recommended cardiac catheterization, as I wanted to avoid stents and the required blood thinners. I had high cholesterol levels in the past (259 mg/dL in 2017), but I radically changed my diet long before my chest pain. I had a total cholesterol level of 154 mg/dL with an LDL of 90 mg/dL and an HDL of 49 mg/dL in 2022. I believe the change in diet reduced my cholesterol, and I asked the doctor if I could discontinue the two medications as a test. If my cholesterol rose as a result, I planned to go back on the meds. But if my scores remained low, I wanted to avoid the meds, given the side effects at my age. However, the cardiologist was adamant that I must continue the meds. What would be the risk of discontinuing the meds temporarily to see if my cholesterol remains at a low level, as compared to the risk of the potential side effects of the meds at my age? I have every respect for his impeccable credentials, but I feel he may be overprotective regarding cardiac risks (which have no solid con“rmation) and dismissive of the potential side effects of the medications. I believe my symptoms are a result of extreme job stress or something non-cardiacrelated. I understand experts say the bene“ts of statins far outweigh any risks, but if my cholesterol remains low without the meds, do I want to accept those risks? Can I experiment with discontinuing these meds? „ B.S. ANSWER: Most importantly, it's your body, and you have the choice to accept or reject your doctor's recommendation. However, I'll try to give you a better idea of what your risks are with and without medication. If I input your information into a risk calculator based on your coronary calcium score and your cholesterol prior to changing your diet and starting on medication, the calculated risk of having a cardiac event (heart attack, stroke or death) in the next 10 years is 13%. With a better diet and atorvastatin, your risk of an event dropped to just below 10%. The medication reduced your risk of having a bad event by about 3%. The negative stress test with perfusion is a good result, but it does not mean that you do not have blockages in the heart. A negative stress test means that if there are any blockages, they aren't severe enough to block blood ”ow (blockages below 50% are rarely detectable by a stress test). Your calcium score is low, but not zero. So, there could well be some small cholesterol plaque, and atorvastatin is clearly indicated even in people with small blockages. An angiogram or CTA scan is best for evaluating small blockages. There is clear evidence that people who go on and off of statins have better results than those who aren't on statins at all, but stopping a statin completely does increase the risk of an event. You can expect your LDL level to increase by about 50% if you were to stop.Patient wishes to stop taking statin medication DEAR HELOISE: This may be an old hint, but when I put on a pair of old rubber/latex gloves to do my dishes, I sprinkle talcum or baby powder into the gloves. Instead of struggling to get them off or on, my hands slide effortlessly into the gloves. „ Betty, Granada Hills, California DEAR HELOISE: A reader suggested that grandparents practice math skills with their grandkids in the summer. Great idea! Every child should know multiplication at least by the time they enter middle school. During my school days, multiplication was taught in third grade and division in fourth. What is happening to education? „ O.B., Retired Teacher DEAR HELOISE: Drivers can save 10% to 20% off their gas bill! The optimal speed for a car's best gas mileage is 60 mph. For every 5 mph above 60 mph, your vehicle uses a whopping 10% more in gasoline. So, if gas costs $3.50 and you are traveling at 70 mph, it is costing you an added 70 cents per gallon, to the tune of $4.20/gallon! „ Dale, Dayton, Ohio DEAR HELOISE: Toaster tongs have been mentioned recently in your column. Every home should have some. One year, I bought a few, tied a red ribbon on each and hung them on the Christmas tree as a decoration. When I had a party, each guest could take a pair home. „ Carolyn McDonough, via email DEAR READERS: Summer is of“cially here, so keep your pets indoors during the heat of the day. Make sure that your pets have lots of cold, clean water. „ Heloise DEAR READERS: After mopping a no-wax ”oor, add several capfuls of vinegar to the water to help remove any remaining soap “lm „ and to leave the ”oor clean and shiny. Vinegar is an indispensable and safe household product that can be used for cleaning, deodorizing and cooking.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 PAGE 9B DEAR ABBY: I come from a very close family, and I am the rock of the family. If someone needs help, I'm the one they come to. Recently, my nephew has been in a downward spiral because of drugs. He is now in jail. He is only 19 and was always an amazing young man, but he started on the wrong road after witnessing his father take his own life a few years ago. When he gets out of jail, he wants to start over „ come live with me, go to rehab and begin a new life. My problem is my “ance. He does not want to help my nephew, especially if he will be on house arrest. I know my nephew's potential, and I can't throw him away and refuse to help. How do I get my “ance to understand this without jeopardizing our relationship? „ Caring Aunt in Indiana DEAR AUNT: It may be a challenge, considering the role you have assumed as "the rock of the family." What your nephew witnessed was horri“c. Compounding the tragedy is the fact that he didn't receive counseling for the trauma and turned instead to drugs. I understand your desire to take in your nephew, and I also understand your “ance's reluctance to have a substanceaddicted relative under house arrest in your home. Perhaps you could agree to a compromise. Lock up your valuables and give your nephew a temporary tryout with the understanding that if he lapses, he goes straight to rehab and a halfway house. You could then support his recovery in other ways, like helping him “nd a group such as Survivors of Suicide or one that supports sufferers of PTSD. DEAR ABBY: I'm a professional travel adviser who works on commission. Many of my clients are friends or relatives, and I sincerely appreciate their patronage. Many years ago, my husband and I became friends with a delightful couple. We patronized the husband's business, and they introduced us to many of their friends. We sponsored them into a social club, and they made many new friends because of it. We have entertained them in our home numerous times for private dinners and summer pool parties. They booked an inexpensive cruise through me once. Unfortunately, a few years ago there was a disagreement, and we prevailed. In retribution, they distanced themselves from us. They travel with many of the friends they introduced us to, and since then, the entire group arranges their travel through someone else, although they still accept our dinner and party invitations. It's distressing that the spite of one couple has soured our relationships with two other couples who apparently feel closer to them. I consider the others to be "collateral damage," and we have distanced ourselves from them, too. Am I too sensitive? „ Traveling Away in Texas DEAR TRAVELING: I don't think so. As you stated, these people were always closer to the couple who distanced themselves from you after the disagreement than they were with you. It may be disappointing, but it isn't a big personal loss. A loss of income, yes, but that's business, and business is replaceable. It's time to start cultivating some new friends, and this time, don't mix business with pleasure, which, as you have learned the hard way, can be risky.Aunt hesitates to help her troubled nephew DEAR ABBYAdvice Columnist KEN KEN THE LOGIC PUZZLE THAT MAKES YOU SMARTER GOREN BRIDGE WITH BOB JONES PREVIOUS ANSWERS PEARLS BEFORE SWINE THE WIZARD OF ID By Brant Parker and Johnny Hart MUTTS By Patrick McDonnell HAGAR THE HORRIBLE MARVIN By Tom Armstrong GARFIELD HI AND LOIS By Brian and Greg Walker BORN LOSER PEANUTS By Charles Schulz BLONDIE By Dean Young and John Marshall Choice of cards BEETLE BAILEY

NATIONAL NEWS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 | 1FATIMA HUSSEINAssociated PressWASHINGTON „ e Congressional Budget O ce is giving the world a concerning look at the U.S. governments ledgers: ever higher de cits, greater government spending and tax revenues that only begin to increase when existing tax cuts expire.The nonpartisan agency estimates in its latest 30-year outlook, released Wednesday, that publicly held debt will be equal to a record 181% of American economic activity by 2053. That compares with a projected 98% at the end of this budget year, a sign the government is getting more dependent on debt to pay for Social Security, Medicare, the military, infrastructure and an array of programs that benefit millions of households. The higher debt load is not all that shocking given the deficit spending of the past two decades. But the CBO figures do offer a bit of comfort in that annual deficits after 2042 are lower than forecasted in the agencys report from last year. This is because the primary borrowing and interest rate costs are lower than what the CBO model year showed then, meaning this fiscal crystal ball can improve as the numbers are refined. Yet there is a clear warning that lawmakers will be constrained as spending increases after 2026, driven largely by increased healthcare and Social Security costs tied to an aging population and a projected lower labor force participation rate of 60.3% in 2053, from 62.2% now. Revenues also are expected to increase after 2026. But that is due in large part to increased individual income tax receipts after the tax cuts under President Donald Trump are set to expire after 2025. The problem with the CBO forecast is that the White House wants to preserve some of those tax cuts and the GOP wants to make them largely permanent, so revenues could be lower than what the CBO anticipates. For 2023, the CBO projects that debt, measured as a percentage of the gross domestic product, this year will be 2 percentage points higher compared the estimate in last years long-term budget impact report. Also this year, the report estimates the U.S. hitting a 4.7% unemployment rate, though the current jobless rate sits at 3.7%. On the same day as the reports release, President Joe Biden traveled to Chicago to deliver a speech about the nations economic grow th after the once-in-a-generation pandemic. The U.S. has had the highest economic growth among the worlds leading economies since the pandemic,Ž Biden said. Weve added over 13 million jobs, more jobs in two years than any president has added in a four-year term,Ž he said. While the risk of a fiscal crisis in the near term appears to be low, the report said another bout of persistently high inflation, for instance, could affect the governments long-term position. The nations fiscal health became the focal point of debate during the latest round of debt ceiling negotiations. While Republicans called for a series of massive cuts as part of an agreement to lift the debt ceiling, the White House and Democrats said the debt should not be tied to the issue, threatening an unprecedented national default. Ultimately, the parties agreed to suspend the debt limit until 2025 in exchange for restrictions on spending for the next two years, imposing new work requirements for older adults receiving food aid and greenlighting a natural gas line that many Democrats oppose.ASSOCIATED PRESSThe Capitol is seen in Washington, Tuesday, June 27, 2023. Public debt expected to hit 181% of U.S. economic activity in 30 years ASSOCIATED PRESSMOORPARK, Calif. „ An Amtrak train carrying nearly 200 passengers struck a county water truck and derailed on Wednesday in Southern California, critically injuring the trucks driver, authorities said. Three of the trains seven cars went off the tracks following the collision in Moorpark, said Ventura County Fire Department Captain Brian McGrath. Fourteen people on the train were taken to hospitals with minor injuries, while the truck driver was taken to a trauma center with a head injury, McGrath said. Parts of the demolished Ventura County Public Works truck were scattered all around the derailed train cars. McGrath initially said the trucks driver was believed to have gotten out of the vehicle before the crash, but later clarified that the circumstances leading up to the wreck werent known. No ones talked to him, so the whole situation is still being investigated,Ž he said. The derailed train cars remained upright on tracks adjacent to an orchard and bare sections of land. Mindy Faver was seated facing the rear of the train after a trip with her mother, Shari Peterson, returning from visiting family in Oregon. All of a sudden: Smack!Ž Faver said, describing the impact. Then Faver saw what she later found out was the water trucks tank tumbling past her window.

APG NATIONAL NEWS 2 | THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023ROB GILLIESAssociated PressTORONTO „ Canadian wildfires will send worsening smoky air across the country and neighboring United States in coming days after recent heavy rains failed to fall in areas of Quebec where the fires are most active, officials said Wednesday. Drifting smoke from the wildfires has lowered curtains of haze on broad swaths of Canada and the United States, pushing into southern Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, and moving into parts of West Virginia. Canadian officials say it is the nations worst wildfire season ever and they expect air quality to remain a concern through the summer, as long as the fires continue. It started early on drier-than-usual ground and accelerated very quickly, exhausting firefighting resources across the country, fire and environmental officials said. Environment and Climate Change Canada Meteorologist Steven Flisfeder said smoke will migrate across Quebec and Ontario over the next few days, and that air quality will deteriorate as a result. As long as the fires are burning and the smoke is in the atmosphere it is going to be a concern not just for Canadians but Americans as well,Ž Flisfeder said. Flisfeder said the smoky, hazy skies will persist unless rainfall provides sufficient help to firefighters in controlling the blazes. Its important to note that the highest amounts of rain were not received in those areas where most active forest fires are,Ž Flisfeder said. The Detroit area woke up Wednesday to some of the worst air quality in the United States as smoke from Canadas wildfires settled over most of the Great Lakes region and unhealthy haze spread southward, as far as Missouri and Kentucky. Meanwhile, NASA is reporting that smoke from wildfires in northern Quebec has reached Europe. The American space agency said satellite imagery from Monday showed smoke extending across the North Atlantic Ocean to the Iberian Peninsula, France and other parts of western Europe. There are 490 fires burning nationally, with 255 of them considered to be out of control. Quebecs forest fire prevention agency is reporting 110 active fires. Canada has already surpassed the record for area burned. Nearly every province in Canada has fires burning. A record 30,000 square miles (80,000 square kilometers) of Canada has burned, an area nearly as large as South Carolina, according to the Canadian government. This season has been unprecedented,Ž Flisfeder said. Ontarios chief medical officer Dr. Kieran Moore suggested people get into the daily habit of checking air quality this summer. Thats our new normal now is to be looking at all of those parameters,Ž Moore said.Rain fails to quell Canadian wildfires, more smoky haze on the way Honolulu 87/75 Hilo 83/69 Anchorage 59/48 Fairbanks 63/50 Juneau 63/53 Monterrey 100/74 Chihuahua 100/75 Los Angeles 78/60 Washington 87/68 New York 82/68 Atlanta 95/74 Detroit 84/68 Houston 99/78 Kansas City 97/73 Minneapolis 88/68 El Paso 102/79 Denver 74/56 San Francisco 71/56 Seattle 80/56 Port Charlotte 94/74 Knoxville 91/69 Greensboro 87/67 Madison 89/66 Bozeman 78/49 Nampa 90/61 Toronto 80/63 Montreal 81/63 Winnipeg 77/60NATIONAL (for the 48 contiguous states)INTERNATIONALNATIONAL FORECAST In the digital e-edition, you can click anywhere on the US map to get up-to-date forecasts, radar, MinuteCast® and more.NATIONAL CITIES TODAY INTERNATIONAL CITIES-10s-0s0s10s20s30s40s50s60s70s80s90s100s110sShowersT-stormsRainFlurriesSnowIce Cold frontWarm frontStationary frontWEATHER HISTORYWEATHER TRIVIA’City Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQ City Hi Lo W Hi Lo W City Hi Lo W Hi Lo WWeather ( W ): s -sunny, pc -partly cloudy, c -cloudy, sh -showers, t -thunderstorms, r -rain, sf -snow ”urries, sn -snow, i -ice.

THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 | 3 Recapping the dramatic revolt in Russia, through the words of 4 presidents and a warlordWARSAW, Poland „ The dramatic rebellion by a mercenary warlord in Russia that challenged President Vladimir Putin was punctuated by dramatic language of the key protagonists „ and some long silences. Mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin incited a rebellion and sent his troops toward Moscow but aborted his mutiny when the Belarusian president brokered an agreement that included exile for the warlord in Belarus. The revolt laid bare deep divisions within Russian power circles. It tarnished Putins aura of complete control, and gave Ukrainians hope that Russian infighting could create opportunities for them.French police, protesters clash after Macron calls police fatal shooting of teen inexcusableNANTERRE, France „ Police clashed with protesters overnight just hours after French President Emmanuel Macron called the shooting death of a 17-year-old delivery driver by police inexcusableŽ and pleaded for calm while justice takes its course. The death in the Paris suburb of Nanterre prompted scattered violence overnight. Frances government has announced a heightened police presence around Paris and other big cities. Prosecutors say a police officer is in custody on suspicion of manslaughter. Videos purported to be of the incident show two police officers leaning into the driver-side window of a yellow car before the vehicle pulls away as one officer fires into the window.Professor and 2 others stabbed in gender issues class at Canadian universityTORONTO „ Canadian police say a professor and two students have been stabbed during a class on gender issuesŽ at a university in the Canadian city of Waterloo and a suspect has been taken into custody. The wounds were nonlife threatening, police said, adding the motive for the attack at the University of Waterloo was not immediately clear. The suspect was being questioned by investigators. Nick Manning, associate vice-president of communications for the university, identified the suspect as a member of the university communityŽ but declined to confirm the individual is a student. Police release body camera video of Texas officer killing gunman who killed 8 at a mallALLEN, Texas „ Police have released video footage of an officer killing a neo-Nazi gunman and quickly ending a mass shooting that left eight people dead and seven others wounded at a Dallas-area shopping mall. The edited body camera video was released Wednesday. It shows the officer grabbing his rifle and running towards gunfire at the Allen Premium Outlets on May 6. He shot 33-year-old Mauricio Garcia about four minutes after the attack began. The video was released a day after a grand jury cleared the officer of wrongdoing. Authorities say Garcia was an avowed white supremacist and had no criminal record. AROUND THE WORLDNATION & WORLD ASSOCIATED PRESSMISSOULA, Mont. „ A federal jury ruled Wednesday that a health clinic in a Montana town where hundreds of people have died from asbestos exposure submitted 337 false asbestos claims that made patients eligible for Medicare and other benefits they shouldnt have received. The seven-person jury said that the fraudulent claims caused more than $1 million in damage to the government. The case focused on the Center for Asbestos Related Disease in Libby, Montana. BNSF Railway filed a lawsuit against the clinic under the federal False Claims Act in 2019. The railroad company owned by billionaire Warren Buffett is also a defendant in numerous lawsuits over its own role in the towns contamination. In 2020, Montanas Supreme Court found BNSF liable for shipping asbestos-tainted vermiculite from a nearby mine through Libby. The clinic and its high-profile doctor, Brad Black, have been at the forefront of efforts to help residents of the town, which came to national prominence when it was declared a deadly Superfund site two decades ago. The jurys finding leaves the clinic subject to additional penalties. Under the False Claims Act, the railway could be eligible for 15% to 25% of any amount recovered by the government. CARD and its attorneys had denied it made false medical claims on behalf of patients, arguing its diagnoses were in line with requirements of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which included special provisions for the Libby victims. CARD was doing exactly what the law said,Ž clinic attorney Tim Bechtold said earlier Wednesday during closing arguments that followed 11 days of testimony. BNSFs lawsuit alleged CARD submitted more than 300 false claims on behalf of patients without getting outside confirmation that they had asbestos-related disease. The company also said 1,369 people received federal benefits with no disease diagnosis. Dr. Black and the CARD clinic have certified more than 3,400 people with asbestos-related diseases, according to court documents. Asbestos-related diseases can range from a thickening of a persons lung cavity, hampering breathing, to deadly cancer. Under the 2009 federal health law, victims of asbestos exposure in the Libby area are eligible for taxpayer-funded services including Medicare, housekeeping, travel to medical appointments and disability benefits for those who cant work. Dr. Black is a pediatrician by specialty and has served as the Lincoln County Health Officer. He has previously said the ailments caused by the type of asbestos found in Libby are difficult to detect and can be missed by outside radiologists.Towns clinic accused of submitting false claims on asbestos exposureASSOCIATED PRESSSACRAMENTO, Calif. „ Californias first-in-thenation slavery reparations task force wraps up its historic work Thursday with the official submission of a report two years in the making, one that documents the states role in perpetuating discrimination against Black residents and suggests dozens of ways to atone. The report heads to lawmakers who will be responsible for turning policy recommendations into legislation. Reparations will not happen until lawmakers and Gov. Gavin Newsom agree. The recommendations include a formal apology to descendants of people enslaved in the U.S. and financial compensation for harms descendants have suffered, such as overpolicing and housing discrimination. The panel also recommended the state create a new agency to oversee reparations efforts. Its been a whirlwind, its been very work intensive, but also very cathartic and very emotional,Ž said Kamilah Moore, 31, task force chair and a Los Angeles-based attorney. Were standing in the shoes of our ancestors to finish, essentially, this sacred project.Ž The nine-member panel convened in June 2021 after Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation in 2020 creating the task force. The panelists, picked by Newsom and leaders of the Senate and Assembly, include the descendants of slaves who are lawyers, educators, elected officials and civil rights leaders. Reparations efforts at the federal level have stalled for decades, but cities, counties, school districts and universities have taken up the cause in recent years. An advisory group in San Francisco has recommended that qualifying Black adults receive a $5 million lump-sum payment, guaranteed annual income of at least $97,000 and personal debt forgiveness. San Francisco supervisors will take up the issue later this year. New York could become the second state to create a commission to examine state involvement in the institution of slavery, and to address present-day gaps in economical and educational disparities experienced by Black people. The legislation, approved earlier this month by lawmakers, has not yet been signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul.Calif.

DAVID KOENIGAP Airlines WriterHundreds of thousands of summer travelers suffered through another day of delayed and canceled flights Wednesday, a troubling glimpse into what could happen over the long July 4 holiday weekend as airlines struggle to keep up with surging numbers of passengers. By early evening on the East Coast, nearly 5,800 U.S. flights had been delayed and 1,000 more were canceled, according to FlightAware. United Airlines, which depends on the airport in Newark, New Jersey, canceled the most flights among U.S. airlines for a fifth straight day. “We’re beginning to see improvement across our operation,” United said in a statement Wednesday night. “As our operation improves in the days ahead, we will be on track to restore our operation for the holiday weekend.” The worst disruptions continued to be along the East Coast, which has been pummeled by thunderstorms this week. The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily held up Boston-bound flights on Wednesday. It stopped flights to all three major airports in the New York City area and two near Washington, D.C., at times Tuesday. Huge crowds, bad weather, inability of some airline crews to reach their scheduling offices — even a Delta jet that made a belly landing in Charlotte, North Carolina — all contributed to the mess. And it could be just the storm before the storm: The FAA predicted that Thursday would be the heaviest travel day over the July 4 holiday period. On top of that, some airline planes may be unable to fly in bad weather starting this weekend because of possible interference with 5G wireless service. Travel has picked up steadily every year since bottoming out during the pandemic. For the past week, about 2.6 million people a day on average have been flying in the United States, about 2% more than in the same period during pre-pandemic 2019, according to Transportation Security Administration figures. The number of air travelers could set a pandemic-era record over the holiday weekend. The FAA expects Thursday to be the busiest, with more than 52,500 total flights. People whose travel plans were disrupted took to social media to vent against the airlines. Some swore they would never fly again on whichever airline had done them wrong. Tia Hudson was back at Newark Liberty International Airport for the fourth straight day, trying to catch a United Airlines flight home to Louisiana. “My flight has been canceled like five times now. I slept at the airport two nights, I booked two hotels, I spent over $700 since I’ve been here and they said they’re not going to reimburse me because it’s weather-related,” she said. “It’s not weather-related. It’s a shortage of pilots and attendants.” Hudson missed her mother’s wedding and caused her mother to skip her own honeymoon to pick up Tia at the airport near Dallas — only for the flight to be canceled. On top of that, Hudson’s bags were lost. “I just want to get away from this airport, but they say nobody is leaving until Saturday,” she said. At Logan Airport in Boston, pharmaceutical company manager Rui Loureiro had to scrap plans to spend the rest of the week meeting clients on the West Coast when his flight to San Francisco was canceled. United told him the soonest he could get on another flight was Friday, and didn’t offer to pay for a hotel room. He plans to fly home to Portugal instead — or at least give it a try. “I am a little bit stressed, disappointed,” Loureiro said. “People were waiting for me. We had things arranged to do. Now I have to go back and rebook everything and come again another time.” By early Wednesday evening, Chicago-based United had canceled more than 550 flights — one-fifth of its schedule — and 1,200 others were late. The airline vowed to reduce cancellations — and added it reduced the backlog of stranded bags in Newark by 30% since Tuesday. New York-based JetBlue canceled nearly one in 10 flights. If large numbers of passengers are stranded or delayed this weekend, expect federal officials and the airlines to blame each other for the mess. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, whose department includes the FAA, has been beating up on the airlines for more than a year. He has accused them of failing to live up to reasonable standards of customer service and suggested that they are scheduling more flights than they can handle.Travelers suffer through more cancellations.

BRIEFCASE Is it a ‘richcession’? Or a ‘rolling recession’? Or maybe it’s no recession at all?WASHINGTON — The warnings have been sounded for more than a year: A recession is going to hit the United States. If not this quarter, then by next quarter. Or the quarter after that. Or next year. Yet what might be the most-anticipated recession in modern U.S. history still hasn’t arrived. Despite much higher borrowing costs, thanks to the Federal Reserve’s aggressive streak of interest rate hikes, consumers keep spending, and employers keep hiring. The economy keeps managing to grow. Safety concerns dominate Norfolk Southern CEO’s job since Ohio derailmentATLANTA — Norfolk Southern’s CEO has spoken often of safety and better service since he took the job over a year ago, but it’s safety that has dominated discussions after one of his trains derailed and caught fire in February in Ohio. Alan Shaw has said his plans include adding more detectors to spot mechanical problems and has hailed cooperation with unions. But labor leaders remain skeptical. Shaw has told The Associated Press in an interview of details on his plans for the railroad. Top central bankers assert need for higher interest rates to tackle persistent inflationFRANKFURT, Germany — Several of the world’s top central bankers got together, and their message was clear: interest rates are expected to go even higher to combat inflation. U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and Bank of England Gov. Andrew Bailey underlined their determination on Thursday to bring inflation under control come what may. They pointed to strong labor markets that are helping push up prices. The message came during a panel at the ECB’s annual policy conference in Sintra, Portugal. President touts ‘Bidenomics’ though poll shows just 34% approve handling of economyCHICAGO — President Joe Biden had a tough sell Wednesday, trying to convince voters that the U.S. economy is flourishing. The president showcased on what he now touts as “Bidenomics” in a speech in Chicago. But a new poll from The Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that just 34% of U.S. adults approve of his economic leadership. That figure is slightly lower than his overall approval rating of 41%. And many of the Democrats Biden needs to marshal in 2024 are comparatively unenthusiastic about his economic record. Seventy-two percent within his own party say they approve of his handling of his job overall but just 60% say they approve of his handling of the economy.BUSINESS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 | 4 WAITING GAME

SCIENCE &TECH ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 | 5PATRICK WHITTLEAssociated PressPORTLAND, Maine „ Human remains have likely been recovered from the wreckage of the submersible that imploded during an underwater voyage to view the Titanic, the U.S. Coast Guard said Wednesday.The news came hours after the announcement that debris from the Titan, collected from the seafloor more than 12,000 feet (3,658 meters) below the surface of the North Atlantic, had arrived in St. Johns, Newfoundland. Twisted chunks of the submersible were unloaded at a Canadian Coast Guard pier. Recovering and scrutinizing the wreckage is a key part of the investiga tion into why the Titan imploded last week, killing all five people on board. The multiday search and eventual recov ery of debris from the 22-foot vessel captured the worlds attention. There is still a substantial amount of work to be done to understand the factors that led to the catastrophic loss of the Titan and help ensure a simi lar tragedy does not occur again,Ž Coast Guard Chief Capt. Jason Neubauer said in a statement released late Wednesday afternoon. The presumed human remainsŽ will be brought to the United States, where medical professionals will conduct a for mal analysis, Neubauer said. He added that the Coast Guard has convened an investigation of the implosion at the highest level. The Marine Board of Investigation will analyze and test evi dence, including pieces of debris, at a port in the U.S. The board will share the evidence at a future public hearing whose date has not been determined, the Coast Guard said. Neubauer said the evidence will pro vide critical insightsŽ into the cause of the implosion. Debris from the Titan, which is believed to have imploded on June 18 as it made its descent, was located about 12,500 feet underwater and roughly 1,600 feet from the Titanic on the ocean floor. The Coast Guard is leading the investigation, in conjunction with several other government agencies in the U.S. and Canada. Authorities have not disclosed details of the debris recovery, which could have followed several approaches, according to Carl Hartsfield, who directs a lab at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Insti tution that designs and operates autonomous underwater vehicles and has been serving as a consultant to the Coast Guard. If the pieces are small, you can collect them together and put them in a bas ket or some kind of collection device,Ž Hartsfield said Monday. Bigger pieces could be retrieved with a remote-oper ated vehicle, or ROV, such as the one brought to the wreckage site by the Canadian ship Horizon Arctic to search the ocean floor. For extremely big pieces, a heavy lift could be used to pull them up with a tow line, he said. Representatives for Horizon Arc tic did not respond to requests for comment. The ROVs owner, Pelagic Research Services, a company with offices in Massachusetts and New York, is still on missionŽ and cannot comment on the investigation, company spokes person Jeff Mahoney said Wednesday. They have been working around the clock now for 10 days, through the phys ical and mental challenges of this operation,Ž Mahoney said. Analyzing the recovered debris could reveal important clues about what hap pened to the Titan, and there could be electronic data recorded by the submers ibles instruments, Hartsfield said. So the question is, is there any data available? And I really dont know the answer to that question,Ž he said Mon day. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada, which is conducting a safety investigation into the Titans Cana dian-flagged mother ship, the Polar Prince, said Wednesday that it has sent that vessels voyage data recorder to a lab for analysis. Stockton Rush, the Titans pilot and CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, the company that owned the submersible, was killed in the implosion along with two members of a prominent Pakistani family, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood; British adventurer Hamish Harding; and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet. OceanGate is based in the U.S. but the submersible was registered in the Bahamas. The company charged passengers $250,000 each to participate in the voy -age. The implosion of the Titan has raised questions about the safety of pri vate undersea exploration operations. The Coast Guard wants to use the investigation to improve the safety of submersibles.ASSOCIATED PRESSA U.S. Coast Guard ship arrives in the harbor of St. Johns, Newfoundland, on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, following the arrival o f the ship Horizon Arctic carrying debris from the Titan submersible. The submersible owned by OceanGate Expeditions imploded on its way t o the wreck of the Titanic.Remains have likely been recovered from the Titan submersible wreckage CYBER CORNERNEW INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK PARENTAL CONTROLS CRITICIZEDInstagram and Facebook have added new parental supervision tools and privacy features, but critics say the steps dont go far enough. Thats because many of the new features are only available if teens and their par ents opt in to using them. Instagram, for instance, will now send a notice to teens after they block someone, encouraging them to let their par ents superviseŽ their account. The idea is to get kids to engage their parents at a moment when they might be more open to guidance. The changes come as social media companies face increased scrutiny over how they impact teens mental health.NJ CASINOS WANT 10 MORE YEARS OF INTERNET GAMBLINGTRENTON, N.J. „ New Jerseys casinos want to expand the states tops-in-the-nation internet gam bling market for another 10 years, but state lawmakers may only approve it for an additional two years. A state Assembly committee approved a bill Tuesday that originally would have allowed online casino gambling to run through 2033. But the committee amended it to reduce the extension to just two years. Internet gambling has been a success story in New Jer sey, which has won more from online gamblers than any of the five other states that also allow it.STILL HIRING: BIG TECH LAYOFFS GIVE OTHER SECTORS AN OPENING For the thousands of workers whod never experienced upheaval in the tech sector, the recent mass layoffs at com panies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta came as a shock. Now they are being courted by long-established employers whose names arent typically synonymous with tech work, including hotel chains, retailers, investment firms, railroad companies and even the Inter nal Revenue Service. All of those sectors have signaled on recruiting platforms that they are still hiring software engineers, data scientists and cybersecurity specialists despite the layoffs in Big Tech.SIRIUSXM SHUTTING DOWN STITCHER PODCAST APP TO EMPHASIZE FLAGSHIP APPSAN FRANCISCO „ Satellite-radio provider SiriusXM says it will shut down its Stitcher podcast app at the end of August in favor of its own SiriusXM app, part of a larger effort to emphasize its own brand. Many of the podcasts featured on Stitcher are already available on the SiriusXM app, and all podcasts on Stitcher can also be found anywhere else podcasts are distributed. The company is sending existing Stitcher users an offer for a free six-month trial of its platinum SiriusXM ser vice, which includes the companys streaming services for music, sports and sports talk, other talk shows and news.

SPORTS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 | 6 ASSOCIATED PRESSOAKLAND, Calif. „ Domingo Germán of the New York Yankees pitched the 24th perfect game in major league history Wednesday night, retiring every Oakland batter in an 11-0 victory over the Athletics.It was the first perfect game since Seattle Mariners ace Félix Hernández threw one against the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 15, 2012. There were three that season „ but none since until Germán finished the first no-hitter in the big leagues this year. He joined Don Larsen (1956), David Wells (1998) and David Cone (1999) as Yankees pitchers to throw perfect games. Larsens gem came in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Coming off a pair of terrible starts, Germán (5-5) struck out nine of 27 batters against the As, who have the worst record in the majors. The 30-year-old right-hander, a seven-year veteran, had never thrown a complete game in the big leagues. He served a 10-game suspension in May after getting ejected from a game in Toronto for using an illegal sticky substance on the mound. Winless in six previous outings against Oakland, Germán threw 72 of 99 pitches for strikes. He mixed 51 curveballs and 30 fastballs that averaged 92.5 mph with 17 changeups and one sinker. With the crowd of 12,479 on its feet for the ninth inning, Germán finished what he started. He got Aledmys Díaz to ground out before Shea Lanegeliers flied out to short center field. When Esteury Ruiz grounded out to end it, the Yankees dugout and bullpen emptied as Germáns teammates raced out to the mound to celebrate. Six days after allowing a careerhigh eight runs in a loss to the Seattle Mariners, Germán got his 500th career strikeout and was the definition of perfection. It was the 13th no-hitter in Yankees history, including Larsens perfect game in the World Series. Their previous no-hitter came from Corey Kluber on May 19, 2021, against the Texas Rangers. Seth Brown came the closest to reaching base for the As, hitting a sharp grounder in the fifth to first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who made a diving stop and tossed to Germán for the out. Giancarlo Stanton homered for the first time in more than two weeks and drove in three runs, and former Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson added three RBIs to help the Yankees to their 15th win in 21 games against the As since Aug. 31, 2019. Stanton crushed a 422-foot homer on a first-pitch fastball from former Yankees pitcher JP Sears (1-6) in the fourth. The ball was hit so hard that Ruiz in center field and Brown in right didnt move but just turned their heads and watched it sail out to left-center. Stanton added a two-run single off Shintaro Fujinami in the fifth when the Yankees scored six runs and benefited from two errors by the As.NLBEST BRAVES BLANK TWINS, HAVE WON 21 OF 25ATLANTA „ Matt Olson hit his National League-best 26th homer and the Atlanta Braves won their fifth straight game, beating the Minnesota Twins 3-0 on Wednesday for a series sweep. Atlanta has won 21 of 25 to improve to an NL-leading 53-27. Kolby Allard, Kirby Yates (3-0), A.J. Minter, Joe Jiménez and Raisel Iglesias combined on the four-hitter with 14 strikeouts. Iglesias earned his 13th save in 15 chances. The Braves took a 1-0 lead in the first against Kenta Maeda (1-5) when Ronald Acuña Jr. walked, stole second, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Olsons double. Olson homered off Jordan Balazovic in the eighth to make it 3-0.CORBIN, NATIONALS DOWN MARINERSSEATTLE „ Patrick Corbin tossed seven shutout innings and Washington jumped on Seattle starter Logan Gilbert for three first-inning runs. The last-place Nationals took two of three against the Mariners after doing the same in San Diego last weekend. For the first time in 17 starts this season, Corbin (5-9) didnt allow an earned run „ and his nine strikeouts were a season high. Amos Willingham gave up José Caballeros homer in the eighth in his major league debut, and Hunter Harvey worked the ninth for his sixth save. Jeimer Candelario had an RBI double and Keibert Ruiz hit a two-run single in the first against Gilbert (5-5).German perfect in Oakland ASSOCIATED PRESSYankees starter Domingo Germán celebrates after pitching a perfect game against the Athletics on Wednesday in Oakland, Calif. Ferreiras hat trick leads U.S. over St. Kitts and Nevis 6-0 in CONCACAF Gold CupST. LOUIS „ Jesús Ferreira scored his second international hat trick, Djordje Mihailovic had two goals and the 13th-ranked United States overwhelmed No. 139 St. Kitts and Nevis 6-0 Wednesday night in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Mihailovic, Bryan Reynolds and Ferreira scored in a 3-minute, 50-second span to build a 3-0 lead by the 16th minute. Ferreira has 11 goals in 20 appearances and became the fastest American to double-digit goals, accomplishing the feat in three games fewer than Clint Mathis. Seven of Ferreiras goals have been against St. Kitts and then-No. 170 Grenada. Ferreira became the “ fth American with multiple hat tricks behind Landon Donovan with three, and Peter Millar, Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey with two each. Ferreira was the only American starter who played at last years World Cup, appearing in the “ rst half of the second-round loss to the Netherlands. Mihailovic also had two assists for the defending champion Americans, who matched their largest Gold Cup victory margin. The U.S., which needed a late goal for a 1-1 opening draw against Jamaica, leads Group A with four points. Trinidad and Tobago has three, Jamaica one and St. Kitts none. The top two teams advance and the U.S. needs merely a draw against Trinidad on Sunday at Charlotte, North Carolina.Bedard, as expected, taken first in the NHL draft by BlackhawksNASHVILLE, Tenn. „ Connor Bedard can “ nally appreciate looking forward to playing for the Chicago Blackhawks after spending the past few months avoiding the subject. And the Blackhawks „ and their fans who began chanting Lets go, Hawks!Ž in Music City after Bedard was selected with the “ rst pick in the NHL draft on Wednesday night „ can begin looking forward to a new era with a highly skilled o ensive forward whos drawn comparisons to Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby. Bedard became the second No. 1 pick in Blackhawks history, joining Patrick Kane, who went “ rst overall in 2007 and helped form the core of a team that won three Stanley Cups from 2010 to 2015. Kanes tenure in Chicago ended in February when he was traded to the New York Rangers. I cant put into words growing up and obviously, thats when they were going on their runs winning Cups,Ž said Bedard, who turns 18 on July 17. You watched a lot of them and you see the United Center going crazy and all of Chicago getting behind them and you know (the) Original Six and so much history here.Ž As for why he spent the past two months de” ecting questions about the Blackhawks? Bedard smiled and said: I didnt want to jinx myself.Ž Impressive as Bedards resume has been, Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson was careful not to put too much on his new players shoulders right away. Well see. Well let him “ gure that out,Ž Davidson said when asked about his expectations for Bedard. Hes a pretty special player, a very special person. Well let him determine how special that “ rst season is.Ž SPORTS IN BRIEFAssociated Press

TODAY IN HISTORY THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 ASSOCIATED PRESSVicki Hirmer, right, of AT&T, nishes handing out bottles of water to the line of people camped out in front of the AT&T phone store wait outside in the 110degree heat to buy the new Apple iPhone, Friday, June 29, 2007 in Glendale, Ariz. Over thirty people waited in front of this store for the 6 p.m. release of the phones to the public.Today is Thursday, June 29, the 180th day of 2023. There are 185 days left in the year.ON THIS DATEIn 1520, Montezuma II, the ninth and last emperor of the Aztecs, died in Tenochtitlan (tay-nohch-TEET-lahn) under unclear circumstances (some say he was killed by his own subjects; others, by the Spanish). In 1767, Britain approved the Townshend Revenue Act, which imposed import duties on glass, paint, oil, lead, paper and tea shipped to the American colonies. (Colonists bitterly protested, prompting Parliament to repeal the duties „ except for tea.) In 1776, the Virginia state constitution was adopted, and Patrick Henry was made governor. In 1927, the first trans-Pacific airplane flight was completed as U.S. Army Air Corps Lt. Lester J. Maitland and Lt. Albert F. Hegenberger arrived at Wheeler Field in Hawaii aboard the Bird of Paradise, an Atlantic-Fokker C-2, after flying 2,400 miles from Oakland, California, in 25 hours, 50 minutes. In 1946, authorities in British-ruled Palestine arrested more than 2,700 Jews in an attempt to stamp out extremists. In 1967, Jerusalem was reunified as Israel removed barricades separating the Old City from the Israeli sector. In 1970, the United States ended a two-month military offensive into Cambodia. In 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a trio of death sentences, saying the way they had been imposed constituted cruel and unusual punishment. (The ruling prompted states to effectively impose a moratorium on executions until their capital punishment laws could be revised.) In 1978, actor Bob Crane of Hogans HeroesŽ fame was found bludgeoned to death in an apartment in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he was appearing in a play; he was 49. In 2006, the Supreme Court ruled, 5-3, that President George W. Bushs plan to try Guantanamo Bay detainees in military tribunals violated U.S. and international law. In 2009, disgraced financier Bernard Madoff received a 150-year sentence for his multibillion-dollar fraud. (Madoff died in prison in April 2021.)TEN YEARS AGO Paying tribute to his personal hero, President Barack Obama met privately in Johannesburg, South Africa, with Nelson Mandelas family as the world anxiously awaited news on the condition of the hospitalized 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader. (Mandela was discharged from the hospital on September 1, 2013; he died the following December.)FIVE YEARS AGOCanada released a list of items, including ketchup, lawn mowers and playing cards, that would be targeted with billions of dollars in retaliatory tariffs against the United States in response to the Trump administrations duties on Canadian steel and aluminum. The Annapolis Capital Gazette newspaper in Maryland kept its promise to put out the days paper, despite the shooting deaths of five people in its newsroom a day earlier. In response to the fatal shootings at a Maryland newspaper, President Donald Trump said that journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their jobs.ŽONE YEAR AGOR. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison for using his R&B superstardom to subject young fans to sexual abuse. The singer and songwriter was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking the previous year. The only surviving attacker from the 2015 terrorist massacre at the Bataclan theater and other sites in Paris was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. That was the most severe sentence possible in France, and very rare. Salah Abdeslam was the chief suspect in an exceptional trial over the attacks, which killed 130 people and were claimed by the Islamic State group.TODAYS BIRTHDAYS Songwriter L. Russell Brown is 83.

BOND FUNDS YTD 1YR 3YR* 5YR*Assessing growthThe Commerce Department today delivers its final assessment of U.S. economic growth during the first quarter. Economists project that gross domestic product grew 1.3% at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first three months of this year. Thats slower than the previous two quarters. The economys slowdown reflects the impact of the Federal Reserves aggressive drive to tame inflation by sharply raising interest rates.Today Labor market measureThe Labor Department reports its weekly tally of unemployment benefits applications today. Economists expect jobless aid applications to remain steady at an elevated level of 264,000. Its a possible sign that the Federal Reserves rate hikes are reining in a still-strong labor market. The claims numbers for the past two weeks have been the highest since October of 2021. Economists expect a slow rise in layoffs for the remainder of 2023 as the economy weakens.Nike reports earningsNike reports its fiscal fourth-quarter financial results today. Analysts expect the athletic footwear and apparel company to report profit of 68 cents per share, which would mark a second consecutive quarterly drop in earnings, compared with a year ago. The company and other clothing retailers face a potential sales squeeze if consumers cut back their discretionary spending amid pressure from inflation and worries about a recession.0 150 300 6/24 6/16 6/9 6/2 5/26 5/19 230 233 264264 est. 264 262Initial jobless benefit claims seasonally adjusted in thousandSource: FactSetGDP seasonally adjusted annual rateSource: FactSet-2 0 2 4 6 8% Q1 Q4 Q3 Q2 Q1 Q4 est. 1.30 7.00 2.60 Week ending -1.60 -0.56 21 22 23 3.22 MONEY & MARKET$Page 3 www.yoursun.com

JOSH OLIVE Do you know your waders?Florida is home to many species of birds with long legs, long necks, and stabby beaks. Dry on the waterAlcohol is humanitys favorite drug. We often dont think of it that way. Booze is social lubricant, a way to mellow out, something that makes a good time even better. A little sauce can make you feel like youre smarter, faster, more in control, just generally better than you really are. But its an illusion „ a dangerous one. Because you are not more in control. Your reaction times are slower. Youre less inhibited, which makes you more inclined to do things your sober mind recognizes as stupid. Look, if you need alcohol to feel OK about yourself, then go ahead. Get yourself sloshed. But do it in a way that doesnt endanger anybody else. And that includes boating under the influence. Operation Dry Water is a year-round boating under the influence awareness and enforcement campaign. Operation Dry Waters heightened awareness and enforcement three-day weekend takes place annually around Independence Day, a holiday unfortunately known for drinking and boating, and deadly incidents. Several local law enforcement agencies participate in Operation Dry Water. Heres the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissions press release from last year: € € € € € € € € € € €FWC officers had one main goal in mind for the July Fourth holiday weekend: to keep boaters safe. The Independence Day weekend is one of the busiest boating holidays of the year and FWC officers, with the partnership of many other law enforcement agencies, were on the lookout for impaired boaters throughout the Boating and Fishing Capital of the World.ŽBetween July 2-4, FWC officers arrested 93 vessel operators for boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs, possibly preventing a life-altering incident from occurring. Some of the boaters arrested for BUI had small children on board. Operating a vessel while impaired not only puts the operator and those onboard their vessel at risk, but all those boating around them are also in danger. Alcohol consumption while boating is dangerous for the operator of the vessel, as well as for passengers. Impairment can lead to slips, falls overboard, injuries and deaths that could have been prevented had the individual not been impaired. Many tragic incidents were likely avoided on the water during the July Fourth holiday weekend due to the hard work of FWC and partner agency officers removing impaired boaters from behind the wheel,Ž said Col. Roger Young, director of FWCs Division of Law Enforcement. Impaired and intoxicated boating is dangerous and deadly for both operators and passengers. We have a zero-tolerance policy for boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs and if you are found to be operating impaired, you will be arrested.Ž € € € € € € € € € € € If you like to drink, you might think this is just a great big buzzkill. However, no one is stopping you from chugging down a whole case while youre on the boat. Feel free to get as plastered as it takes to be happy in your own company. You might fall down and break your neck, but thats harm you cause to yourself as a result of your decisions. As American adults, we all have the right to do idiotic things. All we want is someone sober at the helm. If you choose to ignore this very good advice and insist on taking the wheel, when you get busted you can expect to be arrested and have your vessel impounded. A first-time BUI can get you up to six months of jail time. Good luck getting a cold on there. When you operate a vessel or vehicle under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, you are endangering your life and the lives of others. I think the law is actually pretty lenient. As far as Im concerned, BUI or DUI is attempted homicide. Think about it: The only difference between a BUI charge and a manslaughter case is whether someone is in front of you „ something you have no control over and are a lot less likely to notice when youre intoxicated. The decision to take the wheel while impaired opens you up to all sorts of very negative possibilities. No matter how many times its repeated, some people just wont listen to sense and dont care about consequences until its too late. Thats why Operation Dry Water is needed, and why well always need it. If youre out there drunk at the helm this weekend, I sincerely hope you become a statistic on next years report. And if it does go down that way, remember: I told you so. Contact Capt. Josh Olive at 941-276-9657 or Publisher@WaterLineWeekly.com. FROM THE PUBLISHER'S DESK • CAPT.

Every piece of knowledge must be learned somehow. So why do we act like we know everything? Theres no shame in ignorance, but being unwilling to learn makes you a knucklehead. For Southwest Florida shermen, the education process never ends. You can never know everything, but you can learn a lot. Step one is reading, which obviously youre doing now. Read as much as you can „ magazines, books, blogs, Facebook posts, charter captains websites. Sure, a lot of its complete bull, but the more you learn the better youll be able to winnow out the good stu. Then nd a good tackle shop and interrogate the sta. If they cant answer your questions, nd a dierent tackle shop. If you can aord it, hire several dierent guides and see what each one does and how they do it. This alone can save you months of frustration. Learn from friends, acquaintances, enemies „ anybody. And then, experiment. Dont be afraid to try new things. Share what you know, and try to gure out what you dont. Hey, its fun! And no matter what, never be shy about asking questions. All knowledge begins with admitting you dont know. „ As the Fish Coach, Capt. Josh Olive oers personalized instruction on shing techniques. To book your session or for more information, go to FishCoach.net, email Josh@FishCoach. net or call 941-276-9657.(06/27 report) Tarpon have been a favorite target, but the bite has been getting tougher. Snook at the jetties have been hitting live pinsh or airhawk-style bucktail jigs. The trout bite has been OK, but theyre feeling sluggish in this warmer water. Some sharks have been reported in the surf at several Venice-area beaches. Oshore anglers have been reporting red snapper , mutton snapper and red grouper at 60 miles. Mangrove and yellowtail snapper have been on the wrecks, along with a couple African pompano . The nearshore reefs have only had smaller sh. Freshwat er anglers have been getting into a few largemouth bass , but nothing really to brag about. However, the bluegill bite has been pretty solid on worms or Beetle Spins. (06/05 report) Snook are on the beach from Stump Pass to north of Blind Pass Beach. Small shadtail soft plastics are doing well. There are also whiting and small jacks in the surf zone. Ladysh , mangrove snapper (only a few keepers) and random pompano have been caught at the Ainger Pier. The deeper potholes in Lemon Bay have been producing some good trout . Charter boats have been doing well with the red snapper out around 170 feet, with most anglers getting their two-sh limit. Theyre also bringing back some red grouper , though not limiting out. Hit the beach for a fun mixed bag. If you dont like articial lures, cut mullet and ladysh has also been working. (06/27 report) Tarpon are still in the passes but also on the beaches and up to the bridges in the Harbor. A few incidental cobia have been caught near the tarpon. Jacks have been chasing some bait around the 20-foot holes. Very few anglers are talking about redsh or trout lately. Lots of anglers are heading out, and the red snapper reports are good as close as 30 miles and as far as 100 miles. Theyre also getting some red grouper , scamp , jumbo mangrove snapper and vermilion snapper in the deep water. The snook bite is great early or late in the day. Fish the beaches, the passes, the jetties or anywhere else theres food and good current ow. Soft plastic lures, Live Target mullet and live baits are doing well. (06/27 report) Black drum and snook have been caught in the PGI and Port Charlotte canals. Snook and a whole lot of trout have been caught in Bull, Turtle and Whidden bays, and also around Bokeelia. Tarpon are in Boca Grande Pass and out o the beaches, eating both threadns and crabs. A few are in the Harbor also, but theyre very scattered. Spanish mackerel have been reported as far up as the U.S. 41 bridges, but more from Cape Haze to Boca. Quite a few red snapper and a handful of red grouper are in 140 to 170 feet of water. A lot of lane and mangrove snapper plus some yellowtail snapper have been caught in 50 to 130 feet.Lots of smaller sharks (blacknose, sharpnose and bonnetheads, plus a few young blacktips and bulls) have been scattered all around the Harbor, but mostly from Cape Haze to the passes. (05/16 report) Feeder creeks on the west wall are holding redsh and keeper mangrove snapper . Oer them chunked ladysh or cut whitebait. Snook in the same area have been eating live whitebait. A mixed bag of grunts and snapper has been caught on shrimp or squid over wrecks and reefs. Red grouper are eating whole squid over hard bottom in 70 and deeper. Fish canals mouths and intersections for tarpon , jacks , snook and mangrove snapper. The best bite is on live whitebait. You may also hook small sharks if youre shing the edges of PGI. (06/27 report) A few redsh and black drum have been caught in the Cape Coral canals. The mangrove snapper inshore have been mostly small, but a handful of 12to 16-inch sh are biting around docks on the ICW. Trout are doing well on deeper grass in Pine Island Sound. Those going out past 150 feet report lots of red snapper , although there are many in the 20to 24-inch range. Throw those back and hold out for bigger ones. Snook are in the passes and in the surf. If its calm, try a small white paddletail or silver spoon. If its rougher, a live baitsh is a better plan.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 6 € JUNE 29, 2023 WaterLine file photoCapt. Ralph battles an enormous largemouth bass while fishing a pond way back in the Webb. (It might not look big to you, but for the size of the pond, its enormous.) Exotic fish and other observationsOne evening last week I went fishing after supper and had a remarkable experience. I was out for about an hour and a half on Shell Creek casting Beetle Spins with ultralight spinning gear, something that I really enjoy. It doesnt take much thought or effort, it almost always produces at least a few fish, and the ultralight tackle turns even modest sized fish into real fighters. On this particular evening the action was not red hot, but it was steady enough that I caught 11 fish. It was not the number of fish that I caught that night that was remarkable, it was the mix of species that was noteworthy. I caught three bluegill, seven Mayan cichlids and an oscar. A little math reveals that nearly three-quarters of the fish I caught that evening were exotics. That mix of species is not typical of fishing in Shell Creek, where native species usually outnumber the exotics in anglers catches. However, the populations of exotics in local waters have been burgeoning in recent years. Not too long ago, it would have been crazy to think that this catch could occur here.FISH FARM Waterline Editor Josh Olive wrote an interesting piece on the aquaculture demonstration project that has been proposed for a site approximately 45 miles southwest of Sarasota in about 130 feet of water. I agree with Josh that the project should be allowed to proceed and would like to share a few additional thoughts here. This project has been inching its way through the government permitting process for years. During that process, it has been and is still being evaluated by multiple government agencies. Of course, there is a lot of skepticism about the project and numerous groups have rallied to protest it. They raise concerns about fish waste from such a concentrated batch of fish in a small area, whether the nutrients released by the project will trigger red tide, the ability of the cage structure to withstand a major storm, the possible impacts of fish escaping from the cage, and others. All of these are serious issues, and all deserve consideration „ which is why the permitting process has been so exhaustive.But we routinely stock local waters with thousands of hatchery-reared redfish with no apparent harm to the genetics of local stocks. Its true that the cage might or might not survive a hurricane, even though the plans call for it to be lowered near the sea floor at the approach of the bad weather. But if we didnt allow anything on the water that might not survive a hurricane, there would be no boats, marinas, or waterfront homes in Florida. As to the fish waste products, the 20,000 fish that are projected to be raised by this demonstration project is a drop in the figurative bucket of the fish population of our coastal waters. I suspect that at times there is that much fish biomass on or around the nearby Bayronto wreck, and nobody seems concerned about their waste. But there is a moral obligation involved. A very large portion of the seafood consumed in this country in imported from other countries, even here in Florida. If you go to a local restaurant and order a grouper sandwich or a shrimp cocktail, there is a good chance that you are eating product that was caught or farmed in another country, often where fishing or aquaculture operations are not regulated nearly as carefully as similar operations in our country. So in some cases we are effectively exporting unsustainable or environmentally damaging practices from our backyards to somewhere else where it is out of sight, out of mind.Ž I think the proposed project should be allowed to proceed, and that the EPA, NOAA, USFWS and other government agencies should take advantage of the opportunity to rigorously study the actual impacts. I think the risks associated with this small-scale project are minimal, and if it demonstrates that we can pen-raise fish in an environmentally responsible manner then we would be doing our planets oceans a favor by helping to develop the technology to do so. On the other hand, if it turns out that there are unforeseen or unacceptable consequences, then pull the permits and shut it down.BIG CHANGE AT THE WEBBIf you enjoy fishing or birdwatching or hiking or wildlife viewing in the back sections of the Fred C. Babcock/Cecil M. Webb Wildlife Management Area, then you better zip out there during the next couple days for one last visit. Changes in road access to the huge WMA that go into effect on July 1 will severely limit vehicle access to most of the property for most of the year. After July 1 vehicle access will be limited to named or numbered roads in the front section of the WMA, the section labeled as the Bird Dog Training Area.Ž The popular Big Loop,Ž which is experienced by heading out Tuckers Grade to Road 6, then back in on Tram Grade, will now be open only during most (but not all) hunting seasons and only on hunting-designated days. This reduces by about two-thirds the portion of the WMA which has been road accessible year-round. Fortunately the small portion of the WMA which will remain accessible to vehicles year-round includes access to the very busy gun range and to the popular paved road which runs alongside Webb Lake.

Old black water, keep on rollinIf youve been enjoying the clear waters of Charlotte Harbor, brace yourself for some bad news. Were about done with that for the year. Our annual summer rains fill the estuary with dark river water, and that process is already well underway. A couple weeks ago, you could see bottom features 10 feet down. Soon, you wont be able to see a sandbar in 8 inches of water.No use complaining about it … its just part of the natural cycle here. The dark tint comes from decomposing vegetation in swamps and tiny backwaters. When the rains really get going, they flush those areas out, and it all ends up in the Harbor on its way to the Gulf.The waters not dirty or muddy; its just a darker color. Dip up a glassful and it will look yellow. In a bigger container, it looks orange or reddish. The chemicals that darken the water are called tannins, and they arent pollution … theyre the same compounds that color your coffee or tea. While they do lower the pH of the water a little, its not anything harmful to aquatic life. But that doesnt mean the darker water wont have an impact on your fishing. When it first starts dumping down the rivers (pretty much where were at right now „ hint, hint), the dark water sets off a flurry of feeding activity. Small fish, crabs, shrimp and all sorts of other little critters are on the move, and the predators have an easier time finding dinner. All too soon, the ever-increasing amount of runoff starts to have a negative impact on fishing in the upper Harbor. The influx of fresh water pushes most saltwater predators south toward the Intracoastal, where they find the conditions more to their liking. Its not just a matter of salinity. Dark water absorbs more heat, and hotter water holds less oxygen. Fish wont hang around where they cant breathe. Generally, theyll be looking to move south of an imaginary line drawn from Cape Haze Point to Burnt Store Marina. The effects are felt all through the Harbor and out into the Gulf of Mexico. Along with tannins, the river flow also carries a significant amount of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphate. Although too much of these nutrients is a bad thing, in moderate amounts they encourage the growth of plankton, which is what many of our favorite baitfish eat. It doesnt take a genius to figure out that when the baitfish have something to eat, so do the predators. Open-water fish like sharks and Spanish mackerel will often return to the upper Harbor with strong incoming tides, but they dont stay long … just until the tide turns to go out. Fishing along the scumline that forms on the leading edge of the tide can be highly productive, as long as you remember that it moves and you need to move with it. The edge between clear and dark water in the around Boca Grande Pass can also be a great place to fish. Remember that local rainfall is only a small part of the cause. Weve seen years where Charlotte County was relatively dry but the rivers were swollen with water from precipitation in Central Florida. The Peace and Myakka rivers a huge area, and every bit of that water pours through the Harbor. When rainfall is heavy, the height if the river can spike impressively. Its a good idea to watch for these spikes, because they often flush huge schools of juvenile tilapia down the river. These tilapia flushes provide excellent feeding opportunities for tarpon, which are one of the few fish that are happy to stick around the upper Harbor all summer (remember, tarpon can breathe air from the atmosphere, so they dont rely on water oxygen levels). A fair number of snook and redfish always seem to get the memo, too.You can check stream levels and flow rates at USGS.gov/water. The interface is a bit cumbersome, so you can also find a few quick links at FishinFranks.com/tides_d.htm. The darkening brings hazards with it. Floating debris gets carried downstream by flowing water, and it can be very hard to spot. Reading the bottom is also much harder when its under a few inches of black coffee. Youre always well advised to proceed with caution. This years dark water may be a bit extra. You might remember Hurricane Ian, which ripped down a whole lot of vegetation (among other things) in late September last year. A lot of that plant matter has been sitting in water ever since, steeping like tea. Just a hunch, but we might have some very dark water indeed once the rains really get going. I have more tips for fishing in dark water, but well be dealing with it for a while, so theres plenty of time for that later. In the meantime, just remember that the darkening is a necessary part of the cycle that makes Charlotte Harbor a world-class fishing destination. When you look at it that way, its not such a bad thing.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 9 € JUNE 29, 2023 € PAGE 8 € JUNE 29, 2023BoatingAndFishing.com WaterLine photos by Capt. Josh OliveA great blue heron with a banded water snake. At up to 54 inches, these are the second tallest birds in the United States (the endangered whooping crane can be over 60 inches high). However, in their environment, they are one of the most fearsome predators. They prey on fish and frogs, but also snakes, lizards, smaller birds, rats, rabbits and even young alligators. If these birds grew to 12 feet, theyd be eating our kids. Notice the bluishgray body, tan neck, pale cheeks and dark cap. Get to know your wading birds FLORIDA IS WILD • CAPT. JOSH OLIVE This sandhill crane is one of the easiest birds to identify. Only one other bird walks upright and has a red cap (the exceedingly rare whooping crane, which is white instead of gray). In flight, the red head is harder to see, but you can tell them apart from herons quickly by body posture. Herons fly with their necks tucked into an S-curve; cranes hold their necks out straight. Cranes usually forage in open meadows or grassy areas rather than actually wading in the water. Limpkins have seen a recent resurgence in their population, thanks to non-native apple snails providing an abundant food source. Although these birds were spotted along an open river bank, limpkins tend to prefer hiding in shadows during the day, feeding in the open at night. They also frequently call at night. If you live near fresh water and hear a woman screaming after dark, Google limpkin callŽ before you dial 911. The great egret (or American egret) is actually more closely related to the great blue heron than to any of the smaller egrets. Its a serious predator as well, but not quite so adventurous an eater as the great blue and mainly takes fish and frogs. Identifying white wading birds is quite a challenge, and there are seven you might see in Southwest Florida. So, heres your identification key to white wading birds: A great egret has a yellow bill, black legs and black feet. A snowy egret has a black bill with a yellow base, black legs and yellow feet. A cattle egret has a shorter yellow bill, yellow legs and yellow feet, and is almost always seen on dry land. A juvenile little blue heron has a grayish or bluish bill (sometimes with a dark tip), greenish legs and greenish feet. A white-phase reddish egrets bill is dark or pink with dark tips, and dark legs and feet (this is a rare bird). A great white heron (the rare white form of the great blue heron) has a yellow or black and yellow bill, pale legs and pale feet. A white ibis has a down-turned orange bill, orange legs and orange feet. Little blue herons were named poorly. First, theyre not herons „ theyre in the genus Egretta, which makes them egrets. Second, we already had a bird called a great blue heron, which makes many people think that a little blue heron is just a baby great blue heron, which they are absolutely not. So, Im going with slaty egret instead. Slaty egrets are dark as adults but spend their first year with white plumage. Around their first birthday, they start growing some dark feathers, and this piebald phase lasts a few months. Its an attractive look, but it confuses many newer birders. Reddish egrets are sometimes mistaken for slaty egrets (officially, little blue herons). While little blues may have a bit of purplish red on their neck and cheeks, they dont have a solid rust-colored head and neck. Also, while it doesnt really show in this image, reddish egrets have a much fluffierŽ neck and chest. There are also behavioral differences. While little blues use a straightforward stalk and stabŽ technique, reddish egrets often use their wings to shade potential prey. This may reduce glare and make it easier to aim, or it might hide the shadow of the birds head and neck. The downward curve of a white ibiss bill is distinctive. This particular bird is only partially white because its still got a fair bit of its brown baby plumage. Its bill and legs are also still dull compared with the bright, almost fluorescent orange of an adult. Ibises sometimes forage alone and may be spotted in or near water, but most sightings are of flocks wandering around residential neighborhoods. These so-called Florida chickensŽ are not too picky and will eat just about any small critter they can catch, but snakes seem to be a particular delicacy for them. Tricolor herons (again, really egrets because theyre in the genus Egretta) are among the easiest wading birds to identify. Their denim blue backs and white bellies give it away every time. Im not sure if the third color is supposed to be the yellow on the bill and legs or the rusty blotches on the front of the neck. These are also the most graceful of our waders, with their long bills and more delicate features lending them a sculptural quality.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 11 € JUNE 29, 2023 WaterLine file photoHow you handle the fish youre releasing makes a huge difference in whether theyll survive. They need to liveOver the past 30 years or so, there has been a massive shift in how we define a good day of fishing. There was a time when most people believed it meant you brought home a bunch for the freezer, and if you didnt, then fishing was a waste of time. Now its common for anglers to focus on catch and release. You can buy fishing boats that dont have livewells, and a lot of fishermen set out with just a little cooler for drinks and no plan to put a fish on ice. With this shift, there has been ever-increasing pressure on anglers to handle fish more carefully. The whole point of catch and release is for the fish to not just survive but thrive after its been let go. If it has trouble eating or is harmed by air exposure, theres a good chance it will die later despite having swum away strong. Its called cryptic mortality, and it kills far too many fish. Now, there are always going to be some fish that die. They end up gill-hooked and bleed out, or they have a heart attack during the fight, or a shark chomps off the back half. Theres not a lot we can do about that. But most fish that die after being released do so because of something we have control over. Lets review a few of them.THE BIG SPLASHThrowing a fish back is not supposed to be taken literally. The more gently you put the fish back in the water, the better. Hitting the waters surface can easily cause serious damage to the fish. Its worse for a larger fish or when youre high above the water, but Ive seen an 8-inch bluegill die from being thrown about 10 feet from about 8 feet up. I was the one who did it. If you cant lower the fish by hand, use a net. Its still better than throwing or dropping it.JAW DANGLINGThis is a very common mistake. A fishs lower jaw makes a convenient handle (unless its a biting species, like a barracuda or puffer). And if youre harvesting the fish, thats fine. But for released fish, it can be fatal. Holding a fish horizontally by the jaw only puts severe strain on the bone and can break it (looking at you, bass tournament fishermen). Even a straight vertical dangle is not good. Holding a fish like this places an unnatural amount of weight on the tendons in the throat area, which many predatory fish (snook especially, but also tarpon, trout, redfish and many others) use to rapidly open their mouths and suck prey in. Damaged or broken tendons results in slower jaw motion, which means more prey escapes. These fish have a harder time feeding, so they often become malnourished. Ever seen a really skinny snook? This is often the reason why. Its starving because someone didnt know how to handle it correctly.RAGS AND TOWELSSome people have an ick factor when it comes to touching a slimy fish. While this might seem bizarre or comical to some, its very real for them. One common way to avoid actually touching the fish is to use a rag or towel as a barrier. While this does work to keep the slime off your hands, it also takes the slime off the fish.But a slime coat is necessary for a fish to stay healthy. It prevents bacterial and fungal infections of the skin. Removing it give these pathogens an easy path to the unprotected skin. Further, the slime helps a fish slip through the water with minimal effort. Taking slime away means a fish has to expend more energy „ more calories „ to swim.Some anglers wet the towel before handling the fish. Thats better, but not by much. A rough cloth, wet or dry, is going to remove slime. If you must have a barrier, try latex or nitrile gloves. Same effect, but wont hurt the fish.DRY HANDSYour skin is also abrasive. Dry hands arent as bad as a dry towel, but pick up a fish with dry hands and tell me you dont have slime on them afterward. This ones easy, though: Just wet your hands first. Wet hands pull off a lot less slime. Or, even better, no hands. A hands-free dehooker is the absolute best way (from the fishs perspective) to accomplish a release.HOT SURFACESFish have no way of regulating their temperature. Placing them on a super-hot boat deck or dock planking or beach sand can quickly raise their body temperature, which is not a good thing. Next time, ask yourself this: Would I lay a baby on something this temperature? If the answer is no, then its not safe for a fish either. And of course, many of these dry surfaces are also rough and will remove slime.GAFF AND RELEASEThis one seems pretty obvious to me, but: If you stab a hole through a fishs body, its less likely to survive. Still, we see it way too often with certain species. Here, its mostly sharks, cobia and barracuda. It also happens with fish caught from bridges and tall piers, because anglers use treble hooks as bridge gaffs and then discover the fish is too small to legally keep. Ethical bridge fishermen use a pier net. A gaffed fish is considered to be harvested, by the way, so hauling an undersized fish up with a treble hook is illegal too.SHORT FIGHTSBeing on the end of a line is stressful for a fish. Nothing in its experience or instincts has equipped it to deal with an invisible force that pulls it by the mouth, so all it can do is try to swim away. Now, we all experience stress every day. If its short, its something we can recover from pretty well. But a stressful event that continues for a long time is more difficult. Further, while youre trying to recover, you dont have predators trying to eat you, which naturally makes recovery somewhat harder. All this to say that the shorter the fight, the better. Thats especially true with species that handle stress poorly „ tarpon, hammerhead sharks, tunas and all billfish, to name just a few. These species quickly build high levels of lactic acid in their blood during the fight, which can kill them directly or lead to cryptic mortality later.GILL RAPEIts a harsh term, but its a harsh thing to do. A fishs gill filaments are delicate structures and very easy to damage. Theyre analogous to lung tissue, so if you think its OK to stick your fingers into a fishs gills, then open wide and stick a bottle brush down into your lungs. It wont be pleasant. On the other hand, using the gill cover to help hold a fish steady is not so bad, so long as you dont try to support the fishs weight with it and take care to avoid the actual gills.FLOATING AWAYRed snapper season is open, and thats got a lot more anglers heading out to deep water. Fish pulled up from water more than about 50 feet deep often suffer from barotrauma, which means the gasses in their swim bladders expand. If theyre released in that condition, many cant swim back down to the bottom and just float on the surface until something eats them. Fortunately, barotrauma is easily resolved with a venting tool or descending gear. To learn the right way to use these tools, go to https://bit.ly/VentinG.FISH CPRSometimes fish need a bit of resuscitation before release. How do you do that? A lot of people will hold a fish by the jaw and wave it side to side or back and forth. Unfortunately, that doesnt do much to push water over the gills. Its one way only, so the water has to go in thru the mouth. Open the fishs mouth, hold the jaw firmly, and swim it in a figure 8 motion. Or, move the boat forward in idle or with the trolling motor. Or, place the fish in the livewell facing into the water jetting in (but not too much; remember, gills are delicate). All of this stuff may seem like a lot to remember, but its important. If your released fish dont survive, or only live for a short time before dying of injuries sustained as a result of being caught, you might as well have just stuffed them in the freezer. Theres nothing wrong with taking home legal fish for the table, but we all need to do what we can to ensure every fish we release is as healthy as possible. The future is depending on it.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 12 € JUNE 29, 2023 WaterLine file photoThere are literally thousands of different baits and techniques you can use to catch bass in Florida. But if youre just getting started, theres no need to let that make you crazy. Keep it simple instead. A bass angler’s tackleboxIf youre new to Florida bass fishing, there are a few things you should absolutely have in your tackle box at all times. We will keep rod selection out of this for now and focus solely on a starter kitŽ of what you should have for your first day on the lake in search of a lunker bass. When it comes to stocking up for bass fishing, its easy to get your head spinning with all the bait selections from various bait manufacturers. Lord knows that the variety of color choices alone is simply amazing. So lets simplify and pick a few proven winners just to get you going. Ill stay away from flipping baits for a starter kit. That fishing technique works well, but it takes some skill and can be a frustrating challenge to perfect. You really need to know what to look for on a lake to figure out where, how and what to flip. So for now, we leave those baits to the side. Soft plastic baits, mainly worms, are predominantly used to catch bass on Florida lakes. You want to start with a few different sizes and style of worms. I recommend June bug and blueberry colors to get started with. These two colors catch more bass in the state of Florida than the rest of the colors combined. They replicate the forage species in most lakes and flat-out produce fish. A 7-inch worm works well in most situations, but I prefer a 9-inch worm just because I like the bigger profile. Either will be fine. Youll also see smaller and larger versions. These catch fish too, but theyre more of a specialty bait. Stick with the standards to begin. You need some good worm weights and quality hooks to rig up those soft plastic baits. I would recommend 3/16and quarter-ounce weights to start with. As you start fishing different types of cover at different depths, you will get a feel for where to use other sizes of weights down the road. My hook selection is nothing but 5/0 hooks. I prefer the offset-shank hooks because they allow the hook to stay within the body of the worm, which is better for fishing through or around vegetation.Spinnerbaits are a must-have. This is the most versatile bait you can have in your tackle box. I would suggest two different spinnerbaits, both 3/8-ounce models. Get one with a white and chartreuse skirt and gold willowleaf blades, and the other with silver willowleaf and Colorado blades with a white skirt. The gold bait should be used in dirty water conditions; the silver bait is for clear water.As a beginner, you have to have at least two crankbaits to start with as part of your tackle. The funny thing is you need two of the same bait. Every Florida angler should have a half-ounce chrome Rat-L-Trap with a blue back. If you arent throwing this bait in Florida, you are missing out. When you buy it, buy another identical lure. Why two? So you can still fish when you inevitably lose one. This bait will produce when the fish are moving around some and not locked up on cover. It is also the single best search bait I have ever come across. This is a pretty good kit so far. About the only thing I would add to it is a soft plastic swimbait. Rigged weedless like a plastic worm, the swimbait allows you to fish in all types of cover and over the top of vegetation. You can also use it as a topwater bait. However you fish it, it catches the daylights out of bass. My choice is the Gambler Big EZ in Forty-Niner or Shadow Blue Glitter. I have caught more fish over five pounds on this bait in the past two years than any other. Its just an incredible lure once you learn how and where to use it. Thats it, folks „ a great beginner bass tackle box that can get you out on the water and catching bass tomorrow. All of these baits are proven, and by more anglers than just myself. As you progress in this sport, you will start to know what works best on your favorite lake and can make additions to your tackle collection as you move forward. But the basics are always something I come back to. To be honest, the baits listed above account for more than 80 percent of the bass I catch in Florida. The other 20 percent comes from flipping some type of bug or crawfish bait. Obviously, you can just go slinging these baits anywhere and expect to start catching fish. You need to understand a little about where bass want to be, when they want to fed, and the way they ambush prey. And you need to choose a body of water that actually has bass in it. Those are topics we cover all the time, so I hope youre reading regularly. However, if you get them in front of hungry fish, these baits will definitely pay off for you. Stock your tackle kit with them and start sticking some bass. Greg Bartz is a tournament bass fisherman based in Lakeland.
