We expect to see a major impact on the roo ng side for those companies who have been using illegals ... Crews after crews are leaving the state.ÂŽLes Sims President of the Roo ng and Sheet Metal Contractors Association FIRST IN LOCAL NEWSWEEKEND EDITION € SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 YOURSUN.COM SUN Charlotte€DeSoto€Sarasota 2016 PULITZER WINNER € FPA GOLD MEDAL WINNER 2022 $4.00VOL. 131, NO. 182 By TED CARTERSUN CORRESPONDENTBusiness as usual might not be so usual after Saturday. The “ rst week of July, Florida begins enforcing a new immigration law that cracks down on undocumented workers and employers who hire them. The timing and fear factor is not great for Charlotte County and its e orts to recover from Hurricane Ian. ÂRight now, we need every worker to help us rebuild our community,ÂŽ Adam Riley said. Riley is president of Punta GordaÂs LTD Contracting and along with being the current president of the Charlotte DeSoto Building Industry Association. The worry stems from FloridaÂs strategy to turn back an expected wave of illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico into the United States with the end of federal Title 42 COVID-related restrictions on border entry. So far, the in” ux has been far less than predicted. Senate Bill 1718 signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in May cracks down on hiring undocumented workers and implements felony penalties for employers who violate the new law. The law puts Florida among states that mandate businesses with 25 or more workers to electronically verify their citizenship or immigration status through the federal government. Workers already on the payroll are exempt. Another SB 1718 provision hands Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents some of the same authority federal immigration enforcement o cers have. Also starting Saturday, authorities can bring a felony charge against anyone who knowingly brings undocumented workers into the state. Undocumented immigrants also can no longer drive in the state with licenses issued outside Florida. Critics say the law also could make undocumented workers reluctant to seek health care, because hospitals would need HIGH ANXIETYBusinesses worry worker shortage ahead with new immigration law SUN FILE PHOTO BY SCOTT LAWSONA construction crew works on a roof project in Wellen Park. Builders and other employers throughout the state are bracing for the new immigration law that goes into e ect Saturday. MORE INFORMATIONÂNoncitizen immigrants make up 11% of the stateÂs overall non-elderly adult workforce, but they make up higher shares of workers in certain industries, accounting for almost four in 10 (37%) of the stateÂs agricultural workers and almost a quarter (23%) of its construction workers, along with over one in 10 of service (14%) and transportation (14%) workers.ÂŽ KAISER FAMILY FOUNDATION By CHRIS PORTERNORTH PORT ENGLEWOOD EDITORThe Florida Department of Education released statewide student test results this week, revealing district scores in reading, math, science, social studies and other subjects. The results show students in Sarasota and Charlotte counties tested mostly above-average. This is the “ rst year for the newly created Florida Assessment of Student Thinking test, so comparison with previous years is not necessarily accurate. However, comparison with other districts in the state shows good scores for regional students. For instance, in English Language Arts, the state average is 50% of third-graders testing at or above grade level at the end of the school year. Sarasota County showed 61% at that level and Charlotte County logged 52%. DeSoto County had 33% at grade level or better. In reading scores for all grade levels tested „ grades 3-10 „ Charlotte County also tested for 52% at grade level, while Sarasota County had 59%.School testing scores postedLocal students mostly aboveaverage in new state tests IN TODAYÂS EDITIONMORE MALARIA CASES ANTICIPATED: How can you prevent it?PAGE 1C MASTERING FASHIONA local summer camp for fashion design.PAGE 6EHOLIDAY WEEKEND IS HEREDuring the busy holiday weekend, be on the watch for wildlife.PAGE 1C SEE HIGH , 6A SEE SCORES , 8A SHELLPOINT.ORGOver50%Reserved!atefotesdecesINTRODUCING NEW!Water f rontRe adno=3894669-1 941-977-ROOF FLLIC#CCC1329035CALLTODAYFORAPPT.TOMORROW!

PAGE 6A SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By TED CARTERSUN CORRESPONDENTRoo“ng contractor Les Sims expects competition for legal workers to stien with the onset of FloridaÂs immigration law Saturday. But he also expects the new law to bring badly needed fairness to the stateÂs subcontracting construction sector. And he thinks companies such as his will save big on workers compensation costs. The new law Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in May levels the competition among subcontractors for workers and equalizes the costs of doing business, said Sims, president of PalatkaÂs Armstrong Roo“ng and head of the 900-member Roo“ng and Sheet Metal Contractors Association. Sims said his companyÂs insistence on using documented workers has made it dicult to compete on bid pricing with out“ts that rely on illegal workers. But now competitors who continue to do that could face felony charges. Expect worker shortages short term, but it is going to be Âa long-term “x because of the issues,ÂŽ Sims said. ÂThe people who are doing it right are not as worried,ÂŽ Sims added. ÂWeÂre comfortable.ÂŽ The cost of doing it right adds about 10% to 15% to labor costs and about 5% to overall costs, according to Sims. Now, the companies using undocumented workers will have to do things legally or face penalties, Sims said. ÂItÂs going to add more consistency to the bidding process,ÂŽ he said. Roo“ng and Sheet Metal Contractors Association members support the governor on the immigration law, he said. The measure, Sims added, Âis going to be good for the industry.ÂŽ One reason: Worker compensation premiums, according to Sims. He estimates that 90% of the companies that use undocumented workers have no workers compensation coverage, though Florida law requires it. ÂThey are ”ying under the radar,ÂŽ Sims said. Workers compensation claims for undocumented workers tend to drag out, turning a $50,000 claim into $400,000 after lawyers get involved, he said. In the meantime, workers compensation pays the worker at around 65% of regular pay, thus driving up labor costs and insurance premiums for the company. ÂThe workers comp people say you canÂt work him, but the claim stays open,ÂŽ Sims said. With the electronic employee veri“cation rule, companies will have fewer undocumented workers making workers comp claims. Being able to settle claims quickly Âis a big deal,ÂŽ he said. Paying out fewer claims can lower the pricing on jobs, Sims said. E-Verify will also shave labor costs by helping employers know whether a worker is legal, according to Sims. As an example, he said if he puts a noncitizen immigrant with a false driverÂs license and fake Social Security card to work and the worker is injured, he must keep the claim open until the worker can return to work. The problem is the worker is illegal and canÂt return to work. ÂLawyers get involved and the price triples,ÂŽ he said. But with E-Verify, subcontractors such as Armstrong Roo“ng will have fewer claims from workers who present false documents. ÂE-Verify is going to catch them,ÂŽ Sims said. But just how diligent will the state be? Not very much, predicted Washington, D.C., immigration lawyer Allen Orr. Florida, he said, has neither the money nor willpower to enforce the new law. ÂThere are over 700,000 undocumented people in Florida. They canÂt round them up or detain them. That would break the state of Florida.ÂŽ ItÂs an instance of something being on the books without anything really happening, Orr said. The solution, he said, is for the federal government to enact real immigration laws. ÂThis is not a state-level issue they can address,ÂŽ he said, chie”y because once a state cracks down, undocumented workers move to other states.Will new law be a Âlong-term fixÂ?information on immigration status. But groups whose members rely on immigrant labor say “lling out the intake forms is not required. The impending crackdown led restaurant workers to begin leaving the state in early June, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation report. ÂLocal food service businesses reported losing not only long-time employees as a result of the new law, but also customers who are now afraid of going to public places,ÂŽ Kaiser reported on June 2. The report also cited recent worker departures in agriculture and construction, with some construction sites abandoned. Demographic numbers show the scale of the stateÂs vulnerability to disruption in sectors that rely on immigrant labor. ÂNoncitizen immigrants make up 11% of the stateÂs overall non-elderly adult workforce, but they make up higher shares of workers in certain industries, accounting for almost four in 10 (37%) of the stateÂs agricultural workers and almost a quarter (23%) of its construction workers, along with over one in 10 of service (14%) and transportation (14%) workers,ÂŽ Kaiser reported. Addressing the new E-Verify law on FloridaÂs workforce, an executive with the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association said the groupÂs focus has been on educating the industry on the law and its requirements. ÂWe feel itÂs too soon to speculate on the full scope of the impact to FloridaÂs workforce,ÂŽ said Samantha Padgett, the associationÂs general counsel and vice president for government relations. Residents and visitors wonÂt see disrupted services at restaurants and hotels, Padgett predicted in an email. ÂThey should continue to anticipate an enjoyable experience,ÂŽ she said. As Saturday approached, the Charlotte DeSoto Building Industry Association began distributing ”yers in English and Spanish to dispel ÂmistruthsÂŽ about the law. The idea, Adam Riely said, is to clear up Âsome of the false messaging that is scaring immigrants.ÂŽ In addition to addressing what he said is the myth regarding the hospital intake forms, the ”iers emphasize that E-Verify applies only to companies with at least 25 employees and grandfathers-in current workers. ÂThis law does not single out any industry or impact existing employees or independent contractors,ÂŽ the ”yer from the builders group said, noting nearly two dozen states, many of which are in the South, require E-Verify. Most construction contractors in Charlotte and DeSoto counties donÂt meet the employee threshold for E-Verify, according to Jim Weisberg, immediate past president of the builders group and president of Quality Homes of Port Charlotte, which has a dozen full-time workers. ÂAll of our work is subcontracted,ÂŽ Weisberg said. ÂThat is going to be the same for most every builder.ÂŽ SB 1718 is Âde“nitely going to put a damper onÂŽ construction and the regionÂs recovery from Ian, he said. ÂThese businessmen have survived worse. Is it going to stop us? No.ÂŽ Weisberg said subcontractors will face the most labor diculties. That is happening, mainly to employers operating outside the law, said Les Sims, a Palatka roo“ng contractor and president of the Roo“ng and Sheet Metal Contractors Association. ÂWe expect to see a major impact on the roo“ng side for those companies who have been using illegals,ÂŽ he said. ÂCrews after crews are leaving the state.ÂŽ Citrus growers in DeSoto County and elsewhere in the region typically contract their season labor through immigration contractors who ensure the rules are followed, said Roy Petteway, a Hardee County citrus grower. Petteway is immediate past president of the Peace River Valley Citrus Growers Association, an organization whose members are in DeSoto, Hardee, Charlotte, Manatee and Sarasota counties. The associationÂs new president, Bo Meador of Everglades Harvesting & Hauling, said he expects the labor brokers should be able to Âmake this work.ÂŽ ÂI feel like there will be hardships,ÂŽ he said, lamenting that growers never have enough help, especially in the growing season. ÂE-Verify is going to hurt a lot of people. If you lose a person, youÂre going to struggle to “nd someone who does have sound documents,ÂŽ Meador said. More immediately, Meador is concerned about poaching of grove workers. ÂConstruction is pulling employees,ÂŽ he said.HIGHFROM PAGE 1ASIMS 941-625-4493RightNextto eTownCenterMall ALLSALESAREFINALFORIMMEDIATEPICKUPORDELIVERY SAVINGSBASEDONMANUFACTURERSSUGGESTEDRETAILPRICE.SEEANASSOCIATEFORDETAILS50% OFF EVERYTHINGMUSTGO 40% OFF ANDUP TO 70% OFF€RECLINERS€SOFAS €TABLES€BEDS €CHAIRS€MATTRESSES €SLEEPERS€DRESSERS €PATIOFURNITURE €SECTIONALS ANDMOREALLACCESSORIES STOREWIDE 4JULYSaleth of adno=3895354-1

PAGE 8A SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comSt. JohnÂs County was FloridaÂs highest in that assessment, hitting 71% at or above grade level. Nassau County had 63%, and Lafayette County had 60%. Because the test system is new, the FDOE English score sheet is topped with a disclaimer. ÂFor the 2022-2023 school year only, student achievement levels are provisional and are linked to the 20212022 reporting scale, as required by law,ÂŽ it states. ÂFor 2023-2024 and beyond, scores will be reported on a new scale after the State Board of Education adopts new student achievement expectations in fall of 2023.ÂŽ Sarasota County students scored also scored higher than the state in math grades 3-8, including some grades that were 19 percentage points above the state average. Overall, in math, 61% of Sarasota County students in grades 3-8 were at or above grade level, with the state average at 56%. Charlotte County results showed 58% of students in grades 3-8 were at or above grade level. Only 39% of DeSoto County were at grade level. State ocials have not released letter grades for districts or for individual schools yet. The new tests will set a baseline for achievement in several area districts where new superintendents will be starting as the 2023-24 school year begins. Sarasota County School Board members have selected Terrence Connor as new superintendent. TheyÂve presented a contract that has $30,000 in incentives if he meets certain goals, which would likely include test results, particularly thirdgrade reading. The contract hasnÂt been signed by either the school district or Connor. An 8 a.m. public meeting is set for July 17 to discuss the “nal contract at school district oces, with a swearing-in ceremony also set for that morning. The board and Connor are expected to work out the goals after that. One board member, Tom Edwards, has asked that the time be changed to be more convenient for members of the public who may want to comment. Charlotte County recently hired Mark Vianello, former chief operations ocer for Marion County Public Schools, as a new superintendent. One provision of his contract awards him $10,000 if the district reaches No. 1 in the state.

Not anymore. Today, girls wrestling is one of the fastest growing sports in the FHSAA, which sanctioned it o cially in 2021. Statewide, the sport can still only support one class with 16 districts split in four regions. Like beach volleyball, another fast-growing sport, that might soon change. Locally, the area high schools have taken to this new sport, racking up victories and making trips to regional and state tournaments, with four area high schools sending at least one girl to states. Last week, some top wrestlers from the area got together to form a team to compete in the National Duals in Orlando at the Orange County Convention Center. Among them was Mya Bolden, a state quali“ er last season as a freshman at Port Charlotte High School in the 145-pound weight division, who has kept up her training while the team is on summer break. Along with Bolden, Pirates teammate Gabriella Mitchell, CharlotteÂs Iyanna Ross, Sophia LoCastro of North Port, state quali“ er Megan Preston of Wiregrass Ranch, and Phoebe Gutierrez from Colorado put together a small team that performed well in Orlando. Bolden was busy working out at the MMA training facility in the Port Charlotte Town Center Mall with some of her wrestling friends and Tyler Crane, Port Charlotte head wrestling coach. Bolden, who only started wrestling a year ago because she didnÂt want to do cheer, said the team jelled Â… despite being rivals during the school year Â… and performed up to par against some tough competition. ÂWe did pretty good,ÂŽ Bolden said. ÂMost of our girls got medals. The girls would come up to you before and after the match to tell you what you did wrong.ÂŽ Crane said the girls are just as intense as the boys, and are coached the same way in the same room. ÂIÂm not doing anything different than I am with the boys,ÂŽ Crane said. ÂIÂm getting girls out of the middle schools (who) want to wrestle. They all wrestle in the same room, and the girls wrestle the boys and the boys wrestle the girls.ÂŽ Crane said the boys serve as role models, helping to coach the girls and teach them moves. They do so at a slower pace than a typical practice. ÂThe girls prefer to practice with the boys. WeÂve had discussions about it and I donÂt treat them any di erent than the boys,ÂŽ Crane said. It didnÂt take long for Bolden to learn what it takes to be a top wrestler in the state. ÂItÂs a lot of work, very hard. There are some wrestlers who are better than me and others I can beat and some on the same level,ÂŽ Bolden said. ÂIt depends on who IÂm wrestling.ÂŽGirls wrestling takes flight at local schoolsROSS COPPOLA COMMENTARY COLLEGE BASEBALLOn September 22, 2011, there was a GOP presidential debate in Orlando. Megyn Kelly was the moderator. At one point during the evening, candidate Rick Santorum was asked a question via YouTube. It came from an Army o cer. He had joined the army in 1988 at the age of 19 and fought in the Gulf War before his honorable discharge in 1996. He re-joined the U.S. Army Reserve in 2001 Â… I think we all know what happened in 2001 Â… and was deployed to Iraq in 2010 as part of Operation New Dawn. His question for Santorum: ÂIn 2010, when I was deployed to Iraq, I had to lie about who I was because I am a gay soldier and I didnÂt want to lose my job. My question is, under one of your presidencies, do you intend to circumvent the progress that has been made for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military?ÂŽ His question was met with a loud chorus of boos from the audience in attendance. By the mere act of asking the question, the soldier had come out of the closet two days before the end of the ÂDonÂt Ask, DonÂt TellÂŽ policy that had been instituted by President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. Santorum said he would reinstate the ban on openly gay people serving in the military, leading to applause. I donÂt share this anecdote as a political statement Â… I do so to point out the level of courage the soldier displayed in asking the question in the “ rst place (if you want to see this moment, you can “ nd it on YouTube where it lives on as a scene from the HBO drama, The Newsroom ). Anyway, following that incident, this soldierÂs proud college alma mater asked him to come back and give a TEDX Talk in 2015. More than 4,000 people showed up to hear his presentation, titled, ÂTrust the Power of your Voice.ÂŽ ÂLittle did I know three years later they would put all that to a test and try to silence mine,ÂŽ Steve Snyder-Hill told me this week in the wake of the U.S. Supreme CourtÂs decision to deny Ohio State UniversityÂs attempt to toss outstanding lawsuits against the school for its part in the horrifying Strauss scandal. A QUICK REWIND, for those who donÂt know why Snyder-Hill Â… and Lemon Bay High SchoolÂs Mike Schyck Â… are two of the leading faces in this tale of a serial sexual abuser and the school that enabled him: Snyder-Hill was one of hundreds of OSU athletes and students to su er Dr. Richard StraussÂs predations. Unlike most, Snyder-Hill immediately spoke out and threatened legal action against Strauss and the school at the time it occurred (the mid-1990s). By EVAN LEPAKSPORTS WRITERFormer Venice baseball standout Michael Robertson found himself on the biggest stage in college baseball recently. A redshirt freshman at the University of Florida, RobertsonÂs “ rst season on the “ eld ended with a lengthy trip to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, with the rest of his talented Gator teammates. While Robertson and the Gators fell just short of a national title „ losing in Game 3 of the CWS “ nals „ the 2023 season as a whole will be a time he wonÂt soon forget. ÂThe best part of everything was getting to share those special moments with the guys on the team,ÂŽ Robertson said. ÂA lot of us had been playing together for a few years now, and that really made it easy for us to click and work together toward a common goal at the right time.ÂŽ EARNING STARTER STATUS Highly touted out of high school, Robertson was expected to make an impact during his “ rst year in Gainesville. His health, though, had other plans. Hampered by a nagging hamstring injury, he never got the opportunity to see the “ eld for the Gators during the 2022 season. Fully healthy coming into 2023, Robertson earned the nod in center “ eld, where heÂd go on to start every regular season game. ÂIt was super special,ÂŽ said Robertson of starting at the beginning of the season. ÂI knew we were going to have a talented team, so it was quite the opportunity for me to step in right away and contribute.ÂŽ Robertson was a part of a lineup that led Florida to a 42-13 (20-10 SEC) record in the regular season to go along with an SEC regular season title. AN ILL-TIMED SLUMP During the month of May, RobertsonÂs contributions at the plate began to taper. After entering May with a .280 batting average, Robertson would go just 2 of 37 over the next 13 games to land at a .233 average heading into June. After some similar struggles to open the “ rst two games of regional play, Robertson came o the bench the rest of the way. ÂI just wasnÂt producing in a way I wanted to, or was expected to, o ensively,ÂŽ Robertson said. ÂBaseball is a tough game. ThereÂs going to be ups and downs.ÂŽ Despite the decision, Robertson remained optimistic and ready in his new role. Mainly pinch-running and subbing in defensively during the later innings, Robertson contributed and found ways to help his team bring home both a regional and super regional title in their home ballpark. ÂI stayed ready and still had the opportunity to impact games,ÂŽ Robertson said. ÂI was happy to help the team in any way I could, whether that was in a starting role or o the bench. It was my job to stay ready.ÂŽ EXPERIENCING OMAHA For the “ rst time since 2018, the Gators clinched a spot in the CWS in Omaha. Getting a chance to compete for a national championship was an obvious fairy tale for Robertson and the rest of his teammates.

PAGE 2B SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comÂIt was unbelievable,ÂŽ Robertson said. ÂItÂs the pinnacle of college baseball, and itÂs something you dream about. Getting to experience Omaha with my team was really amazing.ÂŽ Florida ended up making a run into the CWS “nals, but before that, the Gators won back-to-back-to back one-run games over Virginia, Oral Roberts and TCU. According to Robertson, this yearÂs Florida baseball team thrived in pressure situations down the stretch due to the connected mindset throughout the clubhouse. ÂIn those types of games, what got us through was our chemistry,ÂŽ he said. ÂWeÂre a very tight-knit group, and I think it plays a huge role. It especially plays a huge role when you go into games in the postseason. We, as a team, all had the same mindset and really leaned on each other when it counted.ÂŽ A VIRAL MOMENT In two of UFÂs games before the “nals „ against Oral Roberts and TCU „ Robertson made the “nal out in center “eld. However, one of those plays caught much more of the attention. After he scored the go-ahead run during the top-half of the inning, Robertson stood out in center with the Gators leading the Horned Frogs, 3-2, with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. On an 0-2 pitch from Gators closer Brandon Neely, TCUÂs Brayden Taylor sent a charge to deep center hoping to tie the game with one swing. ÂI knew it was a well-hit ball o the bat,ÂŽ Robertson said. ÂWith the wind blowing in, I still thought IÂd be able to make a play on it.ÂŽ With his speed, Robertson got under the ball at the warning track and leaped into the air. He secured the catch as he jumped into the wall to clinch the win for Florida. ÂIt was do or die there,ÂŽ Robertson said. ÂI was just fortunate to make the play. It was crazy, I kind of blacked out in the moment. But IÂm just happy I was able to contribute in that way, and itÂs something IÂll never forget.ÂŽ Following the win, Robertson was bombarded with interviews and media attention. His game-sealing catch was going viral throughout the sports media landscape. ÂI had never experienced something like that before,ÂŽ Robertson said of all of the media attention. ÂIt was crazy, but it was awesome at the same time. IÂll remember it forever.ÂŽ RobertsonÂs grab sent the Gators into the CWS “nals against LSU. Florida couldnÂt quite get the job done, losing in three games to the Tigers, but it was still a magical season that saw the Gators win a program-record 54 games. The redshirt freshman from Venice permanently cemented himself as a pivotal part of that history. ÂPeople always say their favorite part of the games is their teammates, but itÂs true,ÂŽ said Robertson of what heÂll remember the most about the CWS. ÂTo be able to get to Omaha with that group of guys was amazing. Obviously, I wouldÂve liked to have won the last game there, but just getting there is hard enough.ÂŽROBERTSONFROM PAGE 1B SUN FILE PHOTOVeniceÂs Michael Robertson slides into second base in a game during his senior season with the Indians.It was a boondoggle for Snyder-Hill, who was merely a student, as he took on the machine of a major American university. In the end, following a horrid, two-hour meeting where Snyder-Hill faced his accuser and university ocials, the facilitators determined Snyder-Hill must have been Âconfused and mistakenÂŽ about what Strauss had done. Snyder-Hill has said he had no opportunity to appeal to any other university authority, though shortly after the meeting, one of the facilitators called to say the school would change its forms and allow people to opt out of any examination of body parts deemed uncomfortable. SnyderHill said he would let the matter go, so long as the school: Â… Could say what happened to him had never happened to anyone else. Â… Make certain his incident was documented in StraussÂs personnel “le. Â… Noti“ed him immediately if Strauss did it to anyone else, ever again. Of course, we know now that Strauss had assaulted many, many people. We know OSU was aware of it very early on into his employment at the school, which began in 1978. We know that despite this, OSUÂs personnel “le on Strauss was clean and that he was allowed to retire with emeritus status. We know this because it is in the Perkins Coie report, an independent investigation funded by OSU that released its “ndings in 2019 after allegations came to light the year before. THERE IS A common refrain I hear from people who are skeptical of the survivors claims against Strauss and Ohio State: If they were being assaulted by this supposed monster, why didnÂt they speak up when it happened? Snyder-HillÂs experience with the university makes it rather apparent how hopeless that would have been. Add in the fact there had been people who came forward to accuse the doctor Â… both before and after SnyderHill Â… and think about how virtually nothing happened to the doctor during his 20 years of employment. Mix in a survivors shame Â… a sad, but all-toooften human reaction to such a violation, especially when itÂs male-on-male. That is what StraussÂs survivors were up against. Ohio StateÂs cloak of secrecy was total; Survivors lived on solitary islands of hurt in a sea of silence for years until the Perkins Coie report laid it bare. Be clear on this point: The survivors suing the school are doing so not only because of what Strauss did Â… itÂs for the lingering anger and hurt they feel after learning Ohio State knew what was happening and did nothing about it . FOR ITS PART , the school has defended itself in a contradictory sort of way. It acknowledges everything in the Perkins Coie report, but doesnÂt take responsibility for it. It oered a settlement to survivors that paid out a pittance when compared to other scandals of its nature Â… $60 million to 296 survivors. It oered counseling services and other support, but wonÂt let certain survivors speak before their Board of Trustees and while the settlement allows for them to speak freely about what Strauss did, it has limitations on what can be said publicly about the school. And, of course, instead of pursuing settlements on outstanding lawsuits, the school is “ghting tooth and nail to have them dismissed altogether. Because of this, even though SCOTUS has cleared the way for the survivors, their celebrations have been muted. They know the schoolÂs next likely course of action is to depose all the survivors and make them relive their abuse, picking apart their memories as they go. Consider that likelihood when you hear Benjamin Johnson, OSU assistant VP for media and relations, state the following: Ohio State is a fundamentally dierent university today than when Strauss was employed and over the past 20 years has committed substantial resources to prevent and address sexual misconduct. Are they dierent? OSU didnÂt commit those Âsubstantial resourcesÂŽ or Âaddress sexual misconductÂŽ in any meaningful way until after they were called out in the Perkins Coie report. SNYDER-HILL, ONCE a favorite son, is now a pariah at Ohio State, at least in terms of the schoolÂs leadership. No TED Talks for him anytime soon. Schyck and many of the wrestlers who stepped forward following Perkins Coie, are persona non grata at the school. Schyck is an All-American, but the school marginalizes or outright omits many his achievements from public view. In speaking with Snyder-Hill and Schyck about this latest legal turn, I found my thoughts drifting toward the adage, Âyou canÂt go home again.ÂŽ For Snyder-Hill, Schyck and all the survivors, that refrain is all too true. ÂIt sucks for me because, I mean, I invested so much at Ohio State,ÂŽ Schyck said. Indeed, after his standout wrestling career ended, Schyck stayed on an additional four years and served as a graduate assistant while continuing his schoolwork, learning from legendary wrestling coach Russ Hellickson and considering future congressman Jim Jordan a friend and mentor. ÂI was there for eight years, growing up a Michigan guy, and going to Ohio State and kind of changing my allegiances,ÂŽ Schyck said. ÂI havenÂt been able to feel like IÂve been a part of the university because here I am, part of a lawsuit with Ohio State University. ÂIÂve followed the Ohio State wrestling team and I have been a fan from afar, a fan of the football team, but I havenÂt been able to invest myself,ÂŽ he added. ÂIÂm an All-American, but I havenÂt been able to go up to Ohio State and feel like IÂm family. I donÂt feel like IÂve ever accomplished anything because of this whole thing. ÂOhio State took that away from me.ÂŽ Email Obley at patrick. obley@yoursun.com and follow on Twitter: @ PMOWriterOBLEYFROM PAGE 1B Golf Golf DIRECTORYCOURSES The Palms697-8118The Links 697-8877The Hills 697-2414 Long Marsh 698-0918 SeminoleLakes CountryClub Open tothe Public1/2milesouthofBurntStoreRd. onUS41inPuntaGorda941-639-5440www.seminolelakes.netBestValueinS.W.Florida9or18Holes CallRichelle941-240-5100NorthPort5301Heron CreekBlvd. PracticeFacility MembershipSpecialadno=3896044-1 PlaceYourAdHerePleaseCall941-429-3110 TWINISLESCC AcceptingNonMemberPlay WhileWeFillOurRoster 1Month FREEDues Callfor Details301MadridBlvd.,PuntaGorda 941-637-1232ext.421€www.twinislescc.orgChampionshipGolfCourseGolf,Seasonal,Tennis&SocialMemberships www.mapleleafgcc.net CalltheGolfShopfor T ee T imesat941.629.1666 T eetimescanbemadeupto6daysinadvance.

PAGE 4B SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By STEPHEN WHYNOAP HOCKEY WRITERThe Stanley Cup champions ponied up to keep the goaltender who backstopped them to their “rst title, and a handful of NHL teams shed salary to prepare for free agency. The Vegas Golden Knights re-signed playo hero goalie Adin Hill on Friday to a $9.8 million, two-year deal that carries an annual salary cap hit of $4.9 million through 2025. Hill is the second contributor to the Cup run to get a new deal in Vegas after Ivan Barbashev signed a $25 million, “veyear contract earlier in the week. Hill won 11 of his 14 starts after stepping into the crease as an injury replacement for Laurent Brossoit midway through the second round. The 27-year-old journeyman „ who had not played in the NHL playos before „ led all goalies with a .932 save percentage and two shutouts. Other teams were busy ooading players on the eve of the start of free agency with some big-money buyouts. The Nashville Predators led the way by buying out Matt Duchene. The 32-year-old center had three years left on his deal at an annual cap hit of $8 million. Duchene is the latest veteran player to leave Nashville since former coach Barry Trotz took over as general manager, replacing longtime executive David Poile. The Predators also traded Ryan Johansen to Colorado, continuing the path of a rebuild started when Poile dealt away a handful of players before the deadline in March. The Winnipeg Jets also put former captain Blake Wheeler on unconditional waivers to buy out the “nal year of his contract. The Boston Bruins did the same with defenseman Mike Reilly, and the Detroit Red Wings took the same step with Kailer Yamomoto a day after acquiring him from the Edmonton Oilers. Edmonton continued the process of bringing back key players, re-signing forward Mattias Janmark to a $1 million contract for next season. Ken Holland, looking to help reigning MVP Connor McDavid win the Stanley Cup in what could be his “nal year as GM, has made it clear the Oilers are “rmly in win-now mode, so this is likely not the end of their dealings. ÂIÂm looking to win,ÂŽ Holland said Tuesday. ÂI donÂt invest in green bananas at this stage of my life.ÂŽGolden Knights re-sign goalie Hill on 2-year dealNHL: FREE AGENCY NBA By TIM REYNOLDSAP BASKETBALL WRITERKyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are going to try again together in Dallas. Draymond Green is going to chase more championships with Stephen Curry in Golden State, just like Khris Middleton is alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee. And Jerami Grant is staying put in Portland, for serious money. All those decisions, and many more, came quickly Friday night as free agency in the NBA got o to its traditional fast and free-spending start „ with more than $1 billion in deals getting struck in basically the “rst hour alone. ÂLove seeing guys getting paid,ÂŽ Boston star Jayson Tatum tweeted. Irving agreed to a three-year, $126 million deal to remain with the Mavericks, who acquired him in a splashy move in February but sputtered down the stretch and missed the playos. A person with knowledge of the negotiations con“rmed the agreement to The Associated Press, the deal taking quite possibly the biggest name in free agency o the board. The Mavs had made clear that keeping Irving was their top priority „ and got it done in the “rst hour of the NBAÂs free agency window that opened at 6 p.m. EDT. Grant is getting $160 million over the next “ve years, part of a plan that Portland hopes keeps Damian Lillard happy enough to not ask for a trade. Grant stays put, as does Kyle Kuzma in Washington and Cam Johnson in Brooklyn. Kuzma essentially doubled his annual salary, agreeing to a $102 million, four-year deal with the Wizards. Green got a new contract thatÂll pay him $100 million over four seasons with the Warriors. Both of those deals „ “rst reported by ESPN and subsequently con“rmed to AP by people with knowledge of the negotiations „ got done very quickly once the oseason player movement window opened. Kuzma had opted out of a contract that would have paid him $13 million in Washington this coming season; heÂll now average $25.5 million over the next four years after scoring 21.2 points per game this past season.Many big names stay put as free agency opens NASCAR By JAY COHENAP SPORTS WRITERCHICAGO „ There are seven 90-degree turns. There are manhole covers, and transitions from concrete to asphalt and back. The margin for error is small, and any rain will make the course exponentially more dicult. Welcome to the “rst street race in NASCAR Cup Series history. NASCAR brings its 75th season to downtown Chicago this weekend for an experience unlike any other on the circuit. With Lake Michigan and Grant Park serving as the backdrop, the 12-turn, 2.2-mile course begins right in front of Buckingham Fountain and races by several downtown landmarks. No one is exactly sure what to expect, and there will be just 50 minutes of practice time before qualifying for the X“nity Series and Cup Series. SaturdayÂs The Loop 121 might be the most closely monitored X“nity Series race of the season for the Cup drivers. ÂThereÂs always going to be concerns,ÂŽ Brad Keselowski said. ÂWe have concerns every week. ItÂs not just this week, but there are dierent concerns this week. ... ItÂs new, and new is exciting, new is concerning. ÂAnd so I think thereÂs a mixed bag of emotions, but I think itÂs really important for the sport to try dierent things, to not be scared to fail. We will not grow at all as a sport if weÂre overly concerned to fail.ÂŽ NASCAR ran 19 Cup races at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, a 45-mile drive from downtown, but it was too far from Chicago to attract a new audience and NASCAR pulled out after the 2019 season. Distance wonÂt be a problem this time around. ÂItÂs so cool. Racing within a city, there arenÂt many racing drivers that get that opportunity,ÂŽ said Jenson Button, a former Formula One world champion who is competing in SundayÂs Cup race. ÂIÂve had the opportunity in Monaco, in Singapore, but not in a stock car. So this is a new exciting opportunity.ÂŽ Ross Chastain, who won the Cup Series race in Nashville on Sunday, is getting used to his new surroundings. He found a place with a good breakfast burrito near his hotel, and he is planning to walk to the course this weekend. ÂGetting up and walking to work, IÂve never been able to say that in my life,ÂŽ he said. ÂI always had to drive to the farm, drive to the race shop, drive to the track. IÂve never walked to work before, so weÂre getting to live the full Chicago city life.ÂŽDowntown Chicago course presents a new challenge AP PHOTO/ERIN HOOLEYJoe Gibbs racing crew member John Ianham checks tires as preparation for the inaugural NASCAR Chicago Street Race Weekend on Friday in Chicago.800-670-3110www.TrustcoBank.com *Annualpercentageyield.Ratecurrentasof6/26/2023.Aminimumdepositof$50.00isrequiredtoopenaHomeTownInvestment Checkingaccount.$25monthlyservicecharge.Theintroductoryratewillapplyforthefirst30daysaftertheaccountisopened.After1 statementcyclethisbecomesavariablerateaccountbasedonthecurrentinvestmentcheckingratewhichiscurrentlyat1.00%APY.

PAGE 6B SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comNorth Port and Port Charlotte had multiple regional quali“ ers this year. Meanwhile, Lemon Bay and Charlotte each had state placers for the “ rst time. In total, six wrestlers went to states from this area, three of them from Port Charlotte, where Mitchell (120), Bolden (145) and Lily MacGregor (155) all went to Kissimmee. Also going were Solana McCaughan of North Port (130), and Giovanna Cappola of Lemon Bay (135). For the Tarpons, Iyanna Ross might be the best poundfor-pound wrestler in the area. After losing her “ rst-round match by decision at states, she rallied and placed fourth in the 115-pound class, losing the bronze medal match by decision. Recently, Milana Borrelli, the defending state champion at 120, transferred to Venice from Lake Nona. She is currently Kabra WrestlingÂs top-ranked wrestler at that weight. The middle schools in the area have created a pipeline for high schools. Crane expects several incoming freshmen to join this winter to expand the roster and “ ll out the 14 weight classes. Crane said their success is a testament to the growing popularity in the sport, one that could bring more opportunities for beyond high school in the state. ÂItÂs growing fast,ÂŽ Crane said. ÂMy hope is that we get enough girls interested that we can get them interested in bringing in womenÂs college wrestling in the state and in turn bring more menÂs college wrestling.ÂŽWRESTLINGFROM PAGE 1B TENNIS GOLF By HOWARD FENDRICHAP TENNIS WRITERWIMBLEDON, England „ Five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams will begin her 24th appearance at the tournament against 2019 semi“ nalist Elina Svitolina, while FridayÂs draw put twotime titlist Andy Murray up against wild-card entry Ryan Peniston in an all-British “ rstround matchup. Williams, who is 43 and has played just “ ve matches this season, and Svitolina, who returned to the tour in April after taking time o to have a baby, both were given wild cards by the All England Club. Whoever wins that contest could face No. 28 seed Elise Mertens in the second round, followed perhaps by a matchup against No. 7 Coco Gau , the American who was just 15 when she began her Grand Slam career by eliminating Williams at Wimbledon in 2019. Williams won Wimbledon in 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007 and 2008, to go along with two U.S. Open trophies. Audible gasps “ lled the All England ClubÂs main interview room where the draw was being conducted when Murray „ who has twice undergone hip surgery since winning Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016 „ was drawn to face a fellow British player, and again moments later when the winner of that match was slated to take on either No. 5 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, twice a major “ nalist, or 2020 U.S. Open champion Dominic Thiem. MurrayÂs initial title at Wimbledon made him the “ rst British man in 77 years to earn the singles title there. Play at the yearÂs third Grand Slam tournament begins Monday, when No. 2 seed Novak Djokovic will open his bid for a “ fth consecutive championship „ and eighth overall „ at the All England Club against Pedro Cachin, a 67th-ranked Argentine making his Wimbledon debut. Djokovic, who is halfway to a calendar-year Grand Slam after winning the Australian Open in January and the French Open in June, is also seeking his 24th major title, which would set the record for most by a man or woman in the Open era. The potential menÂs quarter“ nals are No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz vs. No. 6 Holger Rune, and No. 3 Daniil Medvedev vs. Tsitsipas on the top half of the bracket, and Djokovic vs. No. 7 Andrey Rublev, and No. 4 Casper Ruud vs. No. 8 Jannik Sinner on the bottom half. The player Djokovic beat in last yearÂs “ nal at Wimbledon, No. 30 seed Nick Kyrgios, will face David Go n on Monday. By LARRY LAGEAP SPORTS WRITERDETROIT „ Taylor Moore and Taylor Pendrith shared the Rocket Mortgage Classic lead at 13 under Friday, hoping to hold o a veteran trying to end a victory drought and a promising young pro aiming for his “ rst PGA Tour victory. Pendrith shot an 8-under 64 at Detroit Golf Club, one o the tournament record. Moore, who began the day tied with Monday quali“ er Peter Kuest, had a 67 to match Pendrith at 13-under 131. Rickie Fowler (65) and former top-ranked amateur Ludvig Aberg (67) were a shot back after two straight solid rounds. The 34-year-old Fowler jumped into contention, chipping in for eagle from 27 feet on the par-5 17th. Fowler set himself up with a chance to for his “ rst win since 2019 at the U.S. Open two weeks ago with an opening 62 before closing with a 75 to plummet into a “ fth-place tie. ÂWe canÂt try and press too hard,ÂŽ he said. ÂDe“ nitely know we can win. How IÂve played is some of the best, if not the best, IÂve felt about my game and on the course really ever.ÂŽ The 23-year-old Aberg, who starred at Texas Tech, “ nished the season No. 1 in the PGA Tour University ranking. The Swede became the “ rst player to go straight from college to PGA Tour membership without going through Q-school or earning enough money or points from sponsor exemptions. HeÂs in his third event as a pro after tying for 25th in the Canadian Open and 24th last week in the Travelers Championship. ÂI know what IÂm capable of and I know that I can hit the golf shots, but youÂve got to be able to handle everything else,ÂŽ Aberg said. ÂThis is new setting for me.ÂŽ Collin Morikawa (67), Justin Lower (65), Aaron Rai (68), Adam Schenk (68) were 11 under, two strokes behind the leaders. The 29-year-old Moore won the Valspar Championship in March when he outlasted Jordan Spieth for his “ rst PGA Tour title. Moore missed the cut in his previous three tournaments after tying for 72nd at the PGA Championship, but said he hasnÂt panicked as he wouldÂve in the past. ÂGolfÂs just such a “ nicky game,ÂŽ he said. ÂI really havenÂt felt like IÂve been that far o and havenÂt made a cut in a couple weeks.ÂŽ On Friday, Moore opened with a bridie and had a temporary cushion with “ ve birdies in a six-hole stretch midway through his round.

SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 | YOURSUN.COMLocal News SUN By ELAINE ALLENEMRICHSTAFF WRITERSARASOTA „ Two more cases of malaria in Sarasota County are under investigation, according to public health o cials. Sarasota County Mosquito Control Manager Wade Brennan said last week, the “ fth case is being investigated. A di erent person with malaria symptoms went to an area hospital last week for treatment. At least four people were diagnosed and treated recently for malaria since late May. All were infected in northern Sarasota County by diseased mosquitoes carrying the malaria parasite. The county reported three clusters of mosquitoes that tested positive for malaria on June 1, 2 and 5. ÂYes, other cases are being investigated and will be posted to the (state health department) arboviral report if/when con“ rmed,ÂŽ Brennan wrote in an email to TheDaily Sun . According to Dr. Manuel Gordillo Jr., infection disease specialist at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, the diseased mosquitoes found in northern Sarasota County are the plasmodium vivax mosquito. The type of mosquito ” ies in the late evening, usually between 8:30 and 9 p.m. and also at dawn.More malaria cases are anticipatedProtection suggested for outdoor July 4 events JAMES GATHANY 0 U.S. CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTIONThis 2014 photo made available by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows a feeding female Anopheles gambiae mosquito. The species is a known vector for the parasitic disease malaria. By BARB RICHARDSONSUN CORRESPONDENTSARASOTA „ When many businesses struggled during the pandemic, Sarasota County commissioners stepped in to help, creating a small business resiliency loan program in April 2020. Out of the $4.1 million loaned to these businesses, a total of $3.2 million of those loans had been repaid as of June 16, according to Rob Lewis, the countyÂs director of Government Relations. ThatÂs 88.9%. Lewis indicated about $399,000 in loan funds remained unpaid. Those businesses that received loans have until June 2024 to repay them. ÂOf the original 200 loans, 117 repaid the required 80% and were deemed eligible for the remaining 20% as a grant conversion per board direction,ÂŽ Lewis wrote in the email. The amount of loans converted to grants totaled $508,542. ÂAbsolutely fantastic work, Rob,ÂŽ Commissioner Mike Moran wrote in response to Lewis report. Using $4.3 million in the countyÂs Economic Incentive Fund, businesses that quali“ ed for the loans could receive up to $25,000. The loans were available only to businesses with 50 or fewer employees. Other requirements stipulated that loans were available to local companies that had been in business in the county for three years, had “ led a paycheck protection program application under the CARES Act, and “ led a simple application with the EDC, which then vetted the document. The loans carried no interest rate for the “ rst year, then become payable over three years at 3.5% interest. Applicants also had to sign a promissory note to the county, along with a personal guarantee. ÂThat is business retention at its heart and soul. These funds are intended for business retention,ÂŽ then-Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County interim Director Dave Bullock said in 2020 in presenting the program to commissioners when they were considering the program.

Carol McCoy, wildlife advocate and CWC volunteer, talked about some tips the beach attenders can practice this Fourth of July weekend to protect endangered sea turtles and shorebirds that live in and near FloridaÂs shores. Female sea turtles have been in nesting mode since May, and turtle patrol volunteers have marked hundreds of nests on area beaches.

PAGE 2C SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By FRANK DIFIORESTAFF WRITERSOUTH VENICE „ Charges of battery and kidnapping have been brought against a suspect apprehended after a deputy-involved shooting in June. Court records indicate James Wallace Leighton III, 37, of Nokomis, was the suspect confronted by Sarasota County deputies June 21 for a domestic disturbance. Leighton was charged with one count each of battery against a person aged 65 or older and false imprisonment, as well as two counts of aggravated assault against “rst responder. Leighton is being held on $200,000 total bond, according to authorities, while an investigation is being conducted for the “rearm discharge. According to the Sarasota County SheriÂs Oce, two deputies confronted Leighton in the area of Park Road in Venice. One deputy deployed a taser, while the other “red a round from a handgun that did not hit the suspect. Probable cause adavits “led in LeightonÂs case allege Leighton attacked an elderly victim after showing up to a local residence Âunannounced and uninvited.ÂŽ Any identifying information for the alleged victim, including any relationship to Leighton, was redacted in the report under MarsyÂs Law. The report indicates the elderly subject as at least familiar with Leighton from previous encounters. Two of the alleged victimÂs neighbors saw Leighton arrive, and told deputies he seemed to prevent them from calling the elderly victim by calling their phone. At one point, Leighton allegedly grabbed the alleged victim by the wrist and attempted to get the senior into a car to leave the area. Deputies responded to the scene after a call to 911. The alleged victim was able to get away from Leighton and meet with deputies, while Leighton allegedly holed up in the residence with. The adavit noted that the elderly subject had a bleeding wound on the wrist that had been grabbed by Leighton. The deputies on-scene then attempted to speak with Leighton, while two deputies entered the residence through another entrance. According to the adavit, the deputies saw Leighton pacing back-and-forth in the residence with a knife in his hands. Leighton then made eye contact with the deputies and allegedly held his knife in a Âthreatening manner.ÂŽ One deputy gave Ânumerous verbal commandsÂŽ for Leighton to drop the knife, warning that a taser would be used if he did not. Leighton then moved to the right, out of sight of the deputy, before emerging back into view on the other side of an opening. The deputy then deployed the taser, which connected with LeightonÂs chest and abdomen. The other deputy inside the residence also reacted to LeightonÂs movements, though the adavit redacted how. ÂSimultaneously...missing (Leighton) and striking the bedroom door,ÂŽ the report stated, with all words between ÂsimultaneouslyÂŽ and ÂmissingÂŽ being redacted. A June 21 Sarasota County SheriÂs Oce statement noted the other deputy took out an agency-issued “rearm and discharged it „ with the bullet missing Leighton and instead hitting a door in the residence. Leighton was ultimately taken into custody and transported to Sarasota County Jail. Sarasota County SheriÂs Public Information Ocer Dana Judge told The Daily Sun on Friday the redacted adavit accessed on the county court records was redacted by the court system, not SCSO. ÂThe courts follow judicial rules for redaction, and I cannot speak to the reasons why they redacted certain information,ÂŽ Judge wrote in an email. As of Friday, Leighton remains incarcerated on bond at Sarasota County Jail. He is due to return to court Aug. 11.Suspect in deputy-involved shooting charged with battery, kidnappingSCSO: All shootings are investigatedLEIGHTON STAFF REPORTPORT CHARLOTTE „ Ahead of the July 4 weekend, law enforcement is warning boaters against drinking on the water. The Charlotte County SheriÂs Oce announced on Thursday that the agency would be taking part in ÂOperation Dry Water,ÂŽ a multi-agency eort to combat boating while under the in”uence. ÂBoating incidents involving alcohol or other substances are avoidable, not to mention inexcusable,ÂŽ Charlotte County Sheri Bill Prummell said in the release. ÂIn Charlotte County, we take this issue very seriously.ÂŽ Operation Dry Water is a year-round campaign aimed at preventing harm from alcohol and drug use on boats and ships. The news release cited alcohol use as Âthe leading known contributing factor in recreational boater fatalities.ÂŽ The weekend eort by Operation Dry Water involve local law enforcement agencies, the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators and the U.S. Coast Guard. In particular, CCSO said that deputies will be Âworking to increase public awareness of the dangers of boating under the in”uence of alcohol or drugs, for both operators and passengers.ÂŽ Boaters can expect an overall increase in ocer patrols both on the water and at recreational boating checkpoints from Saturday to Monday. ÂThe priority during this holiday weekend is to provide boaters with a safe and enjoyable experience by removing dangerous and impaired boaters from the waterways,ÂŽ the news release read. In Florida, it is illegal to operate a vessel with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or higher. The law applies to a boat operating in any body of water, according to the news release. Boaters are reminded to always boat sober and wear a life jacket when they are on or around the water. ÂPlease be responsible when youÂre out on the water Â… and when youÂre not Â… to ensure your safety and the safety of everyone around you,ÂŽ Prummell said.CCSO: Stay sober on the seasLocal residents warned to avoid boating under the influence The Charlotte County SheriÂs Oce reported the following arrests: € Joseph Francis Silhan Jr., 58, 300 block of Caicos Drive, Punta Gorda.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 PAGE 3C By JESSICA ORLANDOSTAFF WRITERBOCA GRANDE „ Portuguese manof-war look like translucent balloons, but behind their seemingly gentle facade, the jellylike marine animal can pack a venom-“lled sting to anyone it touches. Glass Bottom Rentals reported a large number of the marine animals washed ashore all over Gasparilla Island recently. For the barrier island, which is home to the upscale Boca Grande community, it is a rare occurrence. Mote Marine Laboratories senior scientist Jim Culter specializes in invertebrate ecology. He discussed the behaviors of manof-war and how the public can treat man-of-war stings. ÂMan-of-wars are extremely common in the Atlantic, but we are seeing them a lot more frequently in the Gulf now as well,ÂŽ Culter said. In todayÂs climate, currents are changing, according to GIS nullschool. net, which includes an interactive map showing the currents on a global scale. Currents from the Mid-Atlantic are being pushed into the Gulf of Mexico and then back out into the Northern Atlantic which can be an indicator as to why FloridaÂs West Coast shores are seeing more man-of-wars washed up. The jelly“sh-like animal cannot move on its own, instead itÂs carried by currents and wind in oceans, gulfs and bays. The uppermost polyp that appears to look like a translucent sail is “lled with gasses such as carbon monoxide, oxygen, nitrogen and argon, protruding above the surface and allowing the creature to catch a breeze. ÂMan-of-wars are open-water organisms,ÂŽ Culter said. According to Britannica, a Portuguese man-of-war sting is very painful and oftentimes results in red welts and blistering on the aected area. Symptoms can include fever, shock and interference with heart and lung activity. ÂA sting from a man-of-war can be very painful,ÂŽ Culter said. ÂIt can sting you a day or two after death, so itÂs best to just stay away from them.ÂŽ Even after death, Portuguese man-ofwarÂs tentacles can still sting a human. Deaths from a Portuguese man-of-war sting are rare and usually occurs as a result of allergic reactions to the venom, much like what happens to a person who is allergic to a bee sting. There are some remedies people can use when stung. ÂThe most recent scienti“c article on man-of-wars says the best remedy for a man-of-war sting is vinegar,ÂŽ Culter said. ÂYou should dilute the vinegar slightly and apply it to the aected area, followed by a warm heat treatment.ÂŽ ItÂs best to use rubber gloves when removing the tentacles from the in”icted area, and itÂs absolutely dire that any form of freshwater is not applied to the sting because it can trigger more venom to be released from the tentacle. ÂItÂll feel like a very intense burning sensation where you get stung,ÂŽ Culter said. ÂAlmost like a chemical burn.ÂŽ Culter said that if a person spots a man-of-war on the beach, they should notify the nearest lifeguard or county or state employee. ÂThe tentacles will dry up in a couple of days after being washed up, but for the general safety of the public itÂs best to notify a lifeguard immediately,ÂŽ Culter said. ÂKids usually want to touch them or pick them up „ and we donÂt want them getting hurt.ÂŽMan-of-war pack a painful punchEven after death, their tentacles can still sting a human PHOTO PROVIDED BY BILL DUNSON Usually rare on area beaches, neon blue-colored Portuguese man-of-war have been washing up on local shores the Past few days. Biologist and wildlife photographer Bill Dunson photographed one over the weekend on Don Pedro Island beach and his son saw one on Cayo Costa.

PAGE 4C SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com STAFF REPORTPORT CHARLOTTE „ Charlotte County Commission Chairman Bill Truex was installed this week as the 202324 president of the Florida Association of Counties board of directors. The ceremony was held Thursday at the organizationÂs annual conference in Orlando. Truex has served on the associationÂs executive committee since 2020. HeÂs been active in the association on numerous committees, including Health, Safety and Justice, Select Committee on Preemption, Finance and Audit, Federal, and Water, according to information provided by Charlotte County. ÂIt is a privilege and a profound honor to serve as the president of the Florida Association of Counties,ÂŽ Truex said in his induction speech. ÂIn our collective endeavor to create a vibrant and inclusive Florida, itÂs imperative that we continue to prioritize the very foundations that hold us strong „ our economic stability, our environmental responsibility, and the welfare of our people.ÂŽ As a member of FAC, Truex has achieved a variety of awards and certi“cations, receiving the presidential advocacy award in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. In 2022, Truex earned the Advanced County Commissioner II designation, the highest level of commissioner education oered by the Institute for County Government. ÂCommissioner Truex is the epitome of a public servant,ÂŽ said Ginger Delegal, the associationÂs executive director. ÂHis achievements at FAC speak to the dedication he has to his constituents, and I am looking forward to his continued success at the association.ÂŽ Truex last year was appointed to the National Association of Counties Housing Task Force, comprised of more than 30 county leaders from across the United States. He has served as chairman of the Charlotte County Commission for six years, including the past three years. He was “rst elected to the board in 2012 and re-elected twice. The association board of directors is comprised of one county commissioner from each of the 40 Florida Senate districts; “ve executive ocers; six county commissioners appointed at-large with no more than three of the six from counties with population of 75,000 or more; and the past presidents of the FAC. Truex, who also runs a contracting business, Truex Preferred Construction, lives in Englewood with his wife, Andrea Truex, who is chief nursing ocer at HCA Florida Englewood Hospital.Truex sworn in as Florida Association of Counties president RICK BENITEZ PHOTOGRAPHYCharlotte County Commission Chairman Bill Truex, the new president of the Florida Association of Counties board of directors, speaks Thursday at the organizationÂs annual conference in Orlando. ÂIn cases of suspected locally acquired malaria, the burden of proof is much larger,ÂŽ Gordillo said. ÂThe state has required con“rmation by their own lab. Once the diagnosis of malaria is con“rmed, they have been sending them to the Centers for Disease Control for con“rmation of the particular species of malaria (plasmodium vivax) for the cases in Sarasota.ÂŽ Sarasota County ocials are adding information on its website as well. Danny Staley, senior vice president of Public Health Practice and Programs at the nonpro“t Association of State and Territorial Health Ocials said residents should protect themselves, especially during the July 4 holiday. Malaria is spread by infected plasmodium vivax mosquitoes that are out about the same time as most “reworks shows. Staley said those more at-risk are pregnant women, the elderly, young children and those with weakened immune system. ÂAnyone with a child in a stroller outside should use a net covering to better protect the child,ÂŽ he said. ÂPeople can use mosquito spray. ThereÂs some lemon oil extracts that work great.ÂŽ Staley recognizes some residents still have damaged homes without screens, windows and roofs. ÂSome people keep their doors and windows open due to the damage to their homes,ÂŽ he said. ÂItÂs best to put up a screen, even if itÂs duct taped to the window or door. ItÂs important to protect yourself and families from mosquitoes. They are the deadliest insect on the planet.ÂŽ Staley said residents donÂt realize mosquitos can breed in one teaspoon of water. Some breeds lay more than 500 eggs at a time in stagnant water or in soil. Those eggs can survive in dry conditions for a few months, he said. Then when the rain comes, the eggs hatch and thrive in those areas that arenÂt treated. Staley said this why residents should drain standing water in birdbaths, pool covers, on toys, old tires and ”ower pots. ÂMy grandmother always put Cool Whip container lids under her ”ower pots outside,ÂŽ he said. ÂThey became breeding grounds for mosquitoes.ÂŽ Even plants like bromeliads with water between leaves are used as a place for mosquitoes breeding, he said. ÂSometimes standing water gets trapped in gutters if they arenÂt cleaned out regularly,ÂŽ he said. ÂThatÂs another mosquito breeding ground.ÂŽ He said putting mosquito dunks in standing water and placing birdhouses in the yard to attract bird species that eat high-volumes of mosquitoes. ÂDunks look like a doughnut,ÂŽ he said. He explained its a larvicide with a naturally occurring type of bacteria to kill mosquitoes in the water before they become adults. ÂThey are the least toxic form of mosquito control recommended to use in backyard ponds, fountains, ditches or other standing water,ÂŽ he said. ÂThe key is to get rid of the standing water and if you canÂt, it can be treated with a dunk.ÂŽ Dunks last for about 30 days. Staley said bird feeders that attract Eastern bluebirds, purple martins, yellow warblers and woodpeckers can help control the mosquito population. He said the gambusia anis “sh, commonly referred to as a mosquito “sh, can also be released into standing water. The “sh eat the mosquito larvae. Residents can also help the University of Florida study mosquitoes. Researchers at USF in Tampa are the public to take photos of mosquitoes and share them to help track and mitigate the potential spread of malaria. Ryan Carney, assistant professor of integrative biology, and Sriram Chellappan, professor of computer science and engineering, developed a mosquito dashboard to give residents and arti“cial intelligence the ability to identify the location and species of disease-carrying mosquitoes. An app features an interactive map that allows users to analyze mosquitoes near them and around the world. ÂIt would be phenomenal for citizen scientists in Sarasota County and beyond to download and use our partner apps,ÂŽ Carney said. ÂCitizen scientists with smartphones can serve as extra sets of eyes to help monitor these malaria mosquitoes, in locations and at a scale otherwise impossible via traditional mosquito trapping methods.ÂŽ Researchers will use the photos to better identify mosquitoes in the adult and larval stage, which Carney said is a critical element to mitigating mosquito-borne diseases. By identifying the species of mosquito, the team can determine its potential for carrying diseases and alert local authorities, he said.

As of June 23, Manasota Key has 3,305 loggerhead nests, 224 green nests and one KempÂs ridley nest as of Friday. ÂLast July, we found a wayward nesting loggerhead female,ÂŽ McCoy said. ÂIt was likely disoriented from the Fourth of July “reworks.ÂŽ Light pollution caused by “reworks directly on the beach can confuse and disorientate wildlife of all kinds. ÂShorebirds can ”y away from their nests, leaving their chics, due to the light and sound from “reworks,ÂŽ McCoy said. ÂThe “reworks can make it look like daytime.ÂŽ McCoy suggested that the public can practice these tips whenever they are on the beach in order to help be considerate of local wildlife. € Re“ll holes that may have been caused by beach chairs or children playing in the sand. They can trap turtle hatchlings by accident. Also knock down sandcastles. € Clean up trash so that turtles do not get caught in them or obstruct a hatchlings path to the sea. € Use caution when bringing your pets to the beach. They can harass turtles, dig up nests, harm hatchings and scare birds. To report an injured, disoriented or dead sea turtle you can contact the FWC Wildlife Alert at 888-404-3922.SAFETYFROM PAGE 1C $1,550offanewacSystemRebatesvarybymakeand models,callfordetailsonall advertisedspecials941-405-01284easonsac.comoFF oFFSeasonalAC SeasonalAC tUNE-uP tUNE-uP$10 $10RegularPricing ToUpCallLicenseNumberCAC1817187 financingoptionsavailableadno=3896110-1 a d no=3896131-1BOARDOFCOUNTY COMMISSIONERSOF DESOTOCOUNTY,FLORIDA NOTICEOFATTORNEYCLIENTMEETINGRE:JasonandJoyReardonv.DeSotoCounty (CaseNo.14-2023-CA-000430)12thJudicialCircuit PursuanttoSection286.011(8),FloridaStatutes,noticeis herebygiventhatameetingshallbeheldinprivatetodiscuss thePetitionforÂWritofCertiorariÂŽintheabovestyledcase.

Ron worked for DEE Paper for over thirty-five years, both in management and on their board where he continued to serve on the board after retirement. An avid outdoorsman and lover of nature, he often archery hunted in the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania area on a farm and property close to where he grew up. Ron loved deep sea fishing in the Gulf and Peace River Bay and from the docks at his home in Punta Gorda. He was also a Master Angler with his local Punta Gorda Isles Fishing Club. Ron had many hobbies, one being gardening and manicuring his landscapes. A true lover of nature, he found peace in the woods and waters where he immersed himself frequently. Ron loved the color blue which represented his love of the ocean and the blue skies he spent so much time under. He loved traveling and could be found whether it be hunting at over 10,000 feet elevation for elk in Utah or at his local hangouts where he loved to be with his wife Patti and their many friends. His love of food, wine and the sharing stories of the current football and sports seasons, as well as his many fishing and hunting stories, of which Ron had many, were often the center of many discussions. Ron was most proud of his children, Ron Jr., Michelle, and Jessica. He inspired each of them to do their best, but they werenÂt the only people that he inspired, as he taught many others about fishing and hunting and loved to hear about his grandchildren and many nephews, nieces, and cousins. Ron loved his wife, Patti, with all of his heart and they spent most of their time hanging out with friends, listening to music, having glasses of wine, and taking care of their homes. They loved to take the boat into the bay and hopping to the local hangouts for cocktails and conversation. Ron was a very generous man, who always appreciated hard work and would always be there to help. He is survived by his wife of forty-two years, Patti Topper (Olsen), two sisters, Janice Nelson and Elaine Kanner, a brother, Luther Topper and sister in-law Lois Olsen, his son Ronald Topper Jr., daughter Michelle Kendrick and stepdaughter Jessica Charlton, five grandchildren, Jadyn, Bryce, Tiffini, Sarah, and Cody, as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. A Celebration of his Life will be held on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, at 11:00 AM, at Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, 16961 Kings Highway, Lewes, Delaware, where friends may visit beginning at 10:00 AM.

Love it or leave it, everyone has heard of United Way. And while we get branding, and guidance and resources from United Way Worldwide, United Way of Charlotte County is its own living and breathing local entity. Our strategic priorities are determined by local needs. Our investment funds come from (mostly) local donors. Our programs serve local residents. And the heartbeat of this local entity is our Board of Directors „ who are also local residents. As we closed out one “scal year and transitioned to the next, our Board of Directors experienced some transition as well. We said a fond farewell to Charlotte Miller as Board Chair and welcomed Fred Cort as we took over this role. Fred has been a vital part of our board for the past three years. He had served with a United Way in Pennsylvania and found the experience rewarding in many ways. Since coming to Charlotte County, both he and his wife Carol have dutifully served on our Community Impact Panels. ÂThe success stories told by many of our agencies is an enormous reinforcement for staying involved. At least as important for me is getting to work with like-minded volunteers and professional sta whose passion for making good things happen for others is an extraordinary inspiration.ÂŽ While he doesnÂt have much spare time, Fred loves to cook and does most of the cooking at home. Carol does not eat meat, so they eat a lot of “sh, and the availability of fresh “sh in Florida has expanded his range of what goes on the table. He has two sons who he is very proud of, in part because they have also become involved with their local United Way, and he also has six amazing grandchildren. We value the heart that Fred has brought to our organization these past few years. We also look forward to some Ânew bloodÂŽ pumping through the heart of UWCC. New board member Alfred Current believes in community and service. ÂI felt that with my involvement in Rotary, church and the Englewood Chamber of Commerce, I could bring a voice to the table that would help change the human condition for the better.ÂŽ He has been involved with UWCC for several years through ambassador activities, our Campaign Cabinet and Day of Caring. Alfred is an Eagle Scout, likes to smoke whole hog barbeque, won a Pinewood Derby Car Race and has soloed in an airplane-Cesena 150 and ”y hulls on a Hobie Cate in a butt-bucket. HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital is a long-time supporter of UWCC and has become the inaugural sponsor of our new anity group, Ageless United. They have also extended one of their sta members to our board, Kelly Carr, who shared, ÂI believe in the mission of United Way of Charlotte County and the future of Ageless United as it ties in with us at the hospital.ÂŽ Kelly reports that she has the cutest cockapoo on the planet named Buddy. She enjoys traveling and has visited over 70 countries. Jill Spatola from Spatola Group Merrill Lynch really wanted to make a dierence and give back to her community. She joined Women United last year and has been an active member planning the annual lunch, Fashionista Friday and strategic planning. She was excited to join the board and we are happy to have her with us. She loves spending time with family and her dog, and also enjoys exercising, decorating, boating and paddleboarding. As you see these familiar faces in the community, let them know you appreciate their service to Charlotte County. They truly are the heartbeat of the great work that we do at UWCC.

PAGE 6C SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com OUR VIEWDonÂt drink and drive, put the cellphone downOUR POSITION: With the Fourth of July holiday coming up, itÂs a good time to think about the consequences of driving and drinking or driving while texting or talking.Alex Linzi was jogging home with his 7-year-old son in March of 2022. They were on a sidewalk. Maybe talking about the kind of things a dad and son talk about „ “shing, sports, whatever. Aaron Mark Naylor, high on methamphetamine, drove his van up onto the sidewalk as he passed them and, while brushing past Alex, hit the 7-year-old. The child never survived the injuries. Naylor is an example of bad decisions made behind the wheel. He was convicted recently in Manatee County of driving while under the in”uence and a number of other oenses. He was sentenced to 24 1/2 years in prison. The fate of 9-year-old Logan Scherer was just as cruel. His family was on a trip, driving on Interstate 75 near Brooksville, Florida in 2016. Logan was in the back seat with his sister. Their father and mother were upfront. They never saw the car coming. A driver, using his cell phone, smashed into them at a high speed. Logan had no chance. Every time you turn the key and start your car, there is one necessary question you must ask yourself. Are you “t to drive? And then, as you drive, ask yourself another question. Is there any reason the phone call you want to make or the text you are receiving has to be answered right then? Why canÂt it wait until you stop somewhere? Driving impaired and driving distracted are the two biggest reasons for trac accidents. And, while many shrug o the chance for a fender bender, drivers must consider the opportunities for something much worse „ even fatal. Logan SchererÂs family made a vow to let his death at least help prevent the same thing from happening to another family. They decided to work to have vehicular homicide sentences attached to cellphone use while driving. This year, the “rst case under that charge was decided in a Hernando County courtroom with a guilty verdict. It should be a clear message to drivers in Florida not to use a cellphone while driving. There can be deadly consequences. Florida has some of the deadliest highways in the U.S. The Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Crash Dashboard provides current data on car accidents statewide and by county. According to preliminary data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were 381,156 total crashes across the state in 2022 resulting in 242,622 injuries and 3,292 fatalities. Florida was the second most dangerous state in the U.S. for pedestrians from 2016Â…2020, according to Smart Growth America. Seven of FloridaÂs counties ranked within the top 20 most dangerous metropolitan areas for pedestrians. In 2022, there were 755 pedestrians killed by motor vehicles. Motorcycle fatalities were also high with 585 bike riders killed in 2022. In 2022, there were 268 fatalities due to alcohol-only impaired driving accidents and 199 due to alcohol and drugs. So far, as of May 28 this year, there have been 507 crashes in Charlotte County with 12 deaths; 3,092 crashes in Sarasota County with 23 deaths and 266 vehicle wrecks in DeSoto County with six people killed. Think about all this when you get behind the wheel this weekend or while you celebrate the Fourth of July. Even better, think about it every day you drive. There are consequences for actions we takeE:Actions: DonÂt charge thieves for stealing. Reaction: More crime and businesses moving to states that will enforce the law. Action: We donÂt control our southern border. Reaction: We signal the rest of the world and they send us their criminals and drugs, increasing our taxes. Action: We abandon Afghanistan and the many people who supported us. Reaction: We sent a message to the world we will no longer support our allies. Action: Mass shootings in schools, parks, etc. Reaction: We blame guns and ignore the real problems of mental issues. Action: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion will allow greater participation. Reaction: Less quali“ed people enter the workforce. Would you want your doctor or your pilot among this group? Action: Cater to LGBTQ and Black agendas. Reaction: Excess attention to groups that comprise a very small percentage of our population (3-5% and 14% respectively). I think we should have an Irish month. We were deprived. Action: We allow abortion for any reason, right up to birth, and kill a child. Reaction: Without restrictions we encourage more sexual promiscuity and associated diseases. Action: A womanÂs right to control her body. Reaction: SheÂs faced with a decision to kill an unborn baby or take responsibility for raising a child. Abortion becomes easy and socially acceptable, and she will continue to be abused sexually. Responsibility begins at inception. DonÂt over drink and call police when raped. Action: We donÂt require the sperm donor to take any responsibility. Reaction: Males continue impregnating women at random. J OÂH Punta GordaGrateful Biden is in the White HouseE:As potentially catastrophic events recently unfolded in Russia, we should all be grateful that President Biden and his team were in the White House. As Wagner group militia leader Yevgeniv Prigozhin marched his mercenaries virtually untouched toward Moscow, there were few ocial statements from Biden or his team. While PrigozhinÂs brazen actions may re”ect weakness in Russian President PutinÂs command of his country, neither of these two men command our respect. Biden and his team knew that and stepping into a foreign con”ict between two authoritarians is not a winning strategy. Reports are that Biden did what he does best, communicate with allies to help everyone stay calm, especially in Ukraine where the stakes are the highest. A deal brokered between Prigozhin and President Lukashenko of Belarus resulted in Prigozhin turning away as he approached Moscow. While the long-term outcome of this situation remains unclear, we should all be heartened that the in 2020 we elected a leader capable of dealing with such complex, and potentially volatile issues. N H Punta GordaWhat do Hunter Biden and Wesley Snipes have in common?E:Gary Shapely claims he was held back by the DOJ from going further with his investigation, basically saying the White House was behind it. He began his investigation of Hunter Biden in 2018, and concluded it in 2020. Hunter Biden paid back taxes in 2021 after the investigation was completed. Is anyone ignorant enough to think that Trump, who was president, and Barr who was his attorney general would actually stop or hamper investigations into the son of Joe Biden? According to the justice department, very seldom if ever does anyone go to prison for nonpayment of taxes if they pay them when confronted with the proof. Wesley Snipes the actor served three years for nonpayment/evading taxes. The dierence between Hunter Biden and Wesley Snipes is that Biden paid $2 million in back taxes, and Snipes oered to pay $850,000 in back taxes, but he actually owed $23.5 million. Facts matter „ well, they matter to many people, but obviously not to Re-Trumplicans. J A. D B Rotonda WestWhy do all the photos of DeSantis make him look bad?E:The writer of a recent letter to the editor made an absurd statement, claiming Florida governor Ron DeSantis is going around the world and meeting dignitaries for the sole purpose of having his photo published often in the media Âlooking very presidential.ÂŽ Excuse me? IÂd like to know on which planet that letter writer resides. The mainstream media, including The Daily Sun , acts like a vindictive, childish, schoolyard bully, and publishes only horrible photos of Governor DeSantis. The purpose obviously being to elicit a subconscious, negative response from the reader, while the mainstream media wants to keep him out of the White House. Just look at the published photos of Governor DeSantis. They show him with his eyes closed, or his mouth wide open, or in a group shot with others in the photo not paying attention to him. In print, the mainstream media takes verbal jabs at him. A recent story in The Daily Sun blared derisively that DeSantis appointed a strong supporter to a high state position. What was the governor supposed to do, appoint somebody who hates him? The mainstream media is unprofessional, and no longer simply reports the sacred “ve WÂs (Who, What, Where, When, Why) and let the public take it from there. How dare I say this? I have a journalism degree and had a 25-year career in the mainstream media, all of it in daily newspaper newsrooms. I know what goes on in the media. D M Rotonda WestWhy is road construction taking so long?E:Well, if you have traveled on 41 south of Punta Gorda in the past year you may have noticed the construction that has messed up trac almost every weekday during the entire time. If you noticed, there are very few workers that are ever present. Seems like the only fulltime employees are the crew who puts down hundreds of trac cones in the morning, repositions them sometime during the day, and picks them at dayÂs end. Other than that, you may see (if youÂre lucky) up to ten actually working at “nishing the project. The questions mount. Who at FDOT thought to hire this contractor? Do they not have enough employees to get this project complete Âin a timely mannerÂŽ? Why are existing turn lanes taken out of service before new ones are completed? Will this mess be cleared up by the time Snow Birds return? DonÂt forget, thereÂs another layer of asphalt that needs to be down yet. I understand that there will be another construction project started in the future with north bound 41 through Punta Gorda. God help us if this whole mess is recreated there. P.S. Pennsylvania replaced the destroyed bridge on I-95 in 12 days! T F Punta GordaWho is responsible for ÂmissedÂŽ intel?E:In todayÂs paper thereÂs an extensive article about the ÂmissedÂŽ Intel prior to January 6th riots. One ÂblipÂŽ buried deep in the article made reference to no one accepting responsibility for not moving forward on intel. Not even accepting any responsibility for identifying the Intel that should have been shared with Âthe powers that be.ÂŽ Where are the supervisors who have the responsibility of holding employees responsible for their actions (or lack of) ? Does anyone remember the quote ÂThe Buck Stops HereÂŽ? Today, in many businesses there appears to be a trend of not accepting responsibility for oneÂs actions. What is the answer? The hardest has to be that an honest person needs to hold to their values. Young impressionable minds need to be taught (starting with the parents) the dierence between right and wrong and consequences of oneÂs actions. Just my thoughts.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 PAGE 7COPINIONSOn June 20, the Charlotte County Commission held its fourth and “nal focus areas workshop as part of its two-year budget process. As I discussed before, the boardÂs strategic plan is divided in four focus areas: infrastructure, public services, economic and community development, and ecient and eective government. At the June 20 ecient and eective government workshop, the board reviewed its existing bold goals, which are to ensure the county is a great place to work; improve line of sight; and to continuously improve. One initiative undertaken this past year was to create and distribute line of sight boards to departments. The term line of sight refers to the ability of employees to understand and align their work with the overall goals, objectives and strategies of the organization. Employees write brief descriptions of tasks or projects in a designated focus area space to promote awareness of the organizationÂs direction, employees roles within it, and how their eorts contribute to its success. In the wake of Hurricane Ian, the board added a new bold goal: Strengthening the resiliency of the organization and community. Resiliency is the ability of an organization to absorb and adapt to a rapidly changing environment and to enable it to deliver its objectives and to survive and prosper. To achieve the boardÂs goal, sta identi“ed numerous ongoing and new initiatives. We will continue to emphasize strategic planning and implement those plans. The storm underscored the importance of our “scal stabilization plan, which enables us to weather adverse events. Training and professional development have given the county an agile leadership and workforce, which gives them the ability to quickly adapt. Charlotte County was the “rst local government to sign the Southwest Florida Regional Resiliency Compact, an agreement between regional county and municipal governments to collaboratively identify, prepare for, adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts. WeÂre committed to making tough decisions to mitigate future risks using our land use and development policies and other means in support of our sustainability and resiliency goals. The county can only be as resilient as its employees. That means supporting the well-being and development of our workforce. This past week, three more employees graduated from the Leadership Charlotte program, bringing the total number of past and present employee graduates to 34. Coinciding with the revision of the countyÂs mission, vision and values, we created an Exceptional Service Award presented by administration to county sta who have been cited by residents or colleagues for delivering exceptional service to internal or external customers. The hurricane and its aftermath also highlighted a need for additional resources to support our employees mental health. As IÂve noted before, my colleagues diligently served our community before during and after Hurricane Ian even as they dealt with preparedness, storm damages and recovery challenges of their own. We convened an employee mental health committee that developed recommendations for additional services. I am personally committed to building on our existing culture of mental health awareness and support for our employees. At the core of the countyÂs strategic plan, focus areas, bold goals and initiatives are the mission, vision and values set by the board. The mission is delivering exceptional service. The vision is to preserve and enrich our communityÂs quality of life for those who live, work and play in our paradise. The values we share are captured in the phrase Charlotte CARES. The CARES part is an acronym for being committed, accountable, resourceful, energetic and supportive. With these concepts guiding our decision-making, operations and investments, the county has demonstrated its organizational strength time and again in the face of numerous challenges. IÂm proud to be a part of this team and look forward to continuing to serve our community. Readers may reach County Administrator Hector Flores at Hector.Flores@CharlotteCounty FL.gov.Ensuring Charlotte has an efficient, effective government HECTOR FLORESCharlotte County Administrator The city of Punta Gorda was recently noti“ed of our results for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) audit. The NFIP is a federal program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that provides ”ood insurance to property owners in participating communities. Its primary goal is to reduce the impact of ”ooding by providing “nancial protection and promoting responsible ”ood plain management. The Community Rating System is a voluntary program within the NFIP that rewards communities for going above and beyond the minimum requirements for ”ood plain management. It incentivizes communities to implement ”ood protection measures that exceed the NFIPÂs baseline standards. The CRS classi“cation provides signi“cant “nancial bene“ts to policy holders. Communities with higher CRS ratings receive more substantial insurance premium discounts. The CRS classi“cation encourages communities to implement ”ood mitigation measures such as improved drainage systems, ”ood plain mapping, public outreach, and education programs. By participating in the CRS, communities commit to ongoing eorts to reduce ”ood risks, protect lives and property, and enhance their overall resilience. The CRS promotes community engagement and education by requiring participating communities to conduct outreach programs that improve public awareness of ”ood risks. Educating our residents and businesses about ”ood hazards and preparedness measures can strengthen our resilience and response capabilities during ”ood events. Many ”ood plain management activities encouraged by the CRS have positive environmental impacts. These may include preserving and restoring natural ”ood plains, wetlands, and other natural systems that provide ”ood storage capacity, improve water quality, and support wildlife habitats. The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has determined that Punta Gorda will retain its current rating as a class “ve in the NFIP CRS. The ”ood plain management activities implemented by our community qualify the city of Punta Gorda residents for a 25% discount on ”ood insurance premiums for most NFIP policies issued or renewed on or after April 1, 2024. These savings are a tangible result of our communityÂs ”ood mitigation activities to protect lives and reduce property damage. Thank you to our Chief Building Ocial, Kathleen Croteau, who serves as our CRS coordinator, the Punta Gorda City Council, and the Building Department, Public Works Department, Urban Design Department, Utilities Department and Finance Department sta for their eorts to lead our community to be more disaster-resistant. It takes an entire city team eort to achieve this rating. This commitment enhances public safety, property protection, protects the natural functions of ”ood plains, and reduces ”ood insurance premiums. By participating in the CRS, the city bene“ts from insurance premium reductions and measures that improve our resiliency. It requires the implementation of tools to protect lives and property and helps to promote environmental stewardship. From drainage system maintenance to ”ood data and stormwater management, the city continues prioritizing actions that help our residents. The CRS classi“cation is a valuable tool for encouraging proactive ”ood plain management and fostering a culture of preparedness in ”ood-prone areas like the Punta Gorda.

Millions of properties are at risk Â… including about 600,000 in Florida alone Â… unless new funding is dedicated to retro“tting these buildings. I am a ”ood hazard mitigation consultant, with more than 30 years of contracting experience and 17 years working on mitigation projects involving elevation, relocation and dry ”oodproo“ng. My experience includes rebuilding hundreds of ”ood-damaged buildings, a lot of them historic, followed by the elevation of about 1,500 homes and other structures to keep them from ”ooding. I have the honor of serving as the “rst board chair of the relatively new Flood Mitigation Industry Association, a 501©(3) nonpro“t organization. My experience has shown me that ”ooding impacts lower-income property owners and renters the most, including residents who are the backbone of the workforce in a tourism-based economy like that of Florida. New buildings are not the major concern. The highest insurance rates are being charged on older buildings that are vulnerable to ”ooding, called pre-Flood Insurance Rate Map (pre-FIRM) buildings. These buildings were built before the “rst ”ood maps were created by the National Flood Insurance Program, generally before the 1970s. The ”ood mitigation and banking industries estimate there are 3 million to 4 million older pre-FIRM properties in ”ood zones. The banks have told us they believe the value of these properties is $1.5 trillion and our industry estimates a $600 billion cost for retro“ts such as elevating and ”oodproo“ng these properties. The National Flood Insurance Program is raising the rates on these buildings at 18% per year until the rates reach actuarial soundness. In 10-15 years, the rates will be unaordable and devalue these properties unless something is done. Did you know that there are around 600,000 of these properties in FloridaÂs ”ood zones? Imagine a 40% devaluation in asset value in a state that is totally dependent on property taxes for schools and government operations. But we have a solution to reducing ”ood risk and ”ood insurance rates. Flood hazard mitigation projects such as elevation and wet/dry ”oodproo“ng are proven methods of reducing ”ood risk, while preserving property values and property tax revenues. These projects provide good jobs to the design professional community as well as contractors and all of the construction trades. We canÂt simply buy these property owners all out with tax dollars, nor can we continue to have these buildings ”ood every time an area ”oods. The issue now is, how do we “nance this massive retro“tting eort? It really resembles the development of the space program, when we had to create a whole new workforce to get us to the moon. The same needs to happen here. These projects are not inexpensive, nor are they easy to do. The banks are limited to loaning us only up to 80% of the property value. What we need is a low-interest, long-term loan program outside of the mortgage, so that property owners can aord the projects and pay it o over 20-30 years. We are working on developing such a plan now. The adaptation of these properties is critical to our economy, so we need to get this done. Roderick Scott, CFM, is board chair of the Flood Mitigation Industry Association (http:// www.”oodmitigationindustry. org).Retrofitting buildings vulnerable to flooding would help economy I shudder to imagine how Aunt Marie (God rest her soul) would react to todayÂs explosion of expectations for tipping. Even back in pre-in”ationary times, Aunt Marie (who always worked hard for her money) was prone to greet hints for gratuities with a cranky, ÂIÂll give Âem a dadgum tip, alright!ÂŽ (With the understanding that she meant a teeth-jarring tip upside the head.) Unless youÂve been living in a cave, you know that more and more venues and occupations are pushing for tips and that bare-minimum percentages are trending inexor ably upwards. (Heck, even if you have been living in a cave, youÂve pr obably encountered some stranger with his palm extended muttering, ÂAhemIÂm the essential person who told you which are stalactites and which are stalagmites. Debit, credit or cash?ÂŽ) A tip of 15% maintained harmony between diners and waitsta for decades. Now the server infers, ÂAfter I leave this measly 15%, IÂm going to drive to the cemetery in my diamond-encrusted Rolls Royce and spit on your fatherÂs grave.ÂŽ For no discernible reason other than pandemic pressures, a range of 18-20% is now the starting point. One member of the etiquette god pantheon did try to explain it with ÂWell, the ”uctuations of the euroƒI mean, the emergence of systemicƒaw, go ask your mother!ÂŽ WeÂre supposed to get with the program and accept that tipping has evolved. Fine, if it has evolved, let Bill Nye the Science Guy fork over an extra two bucks for my hoagie. ItÂs supposedly a violation of the social compact if we hold a grudge against a restauranteur who just wants to live his dream. (ÂMy dream has always been to share my grandmotherÂs delicious recipes with the whole world Â… and, oh yeah, to underpay my sta.ÂŽ) Some businesses are tacking on an automatic tip even before a delivery is made. (ÂSorry I ”attened your carport and your terrier on the way in. The extra “ve bucks should help calm my nerves.ÂŽ) Restaurants feel justi“ed in assessing an automatic 18% tip for large parties because the diners might (!) be unreasonable, might (!) tie up the table too long and might (!) forget whose turn it was to tip. Next, they will add a surcharge for bribing Animal Control because monkeys might (!) ”y out of the butts of the diners. Consumers are especially riled up over self-checkout (!) touchscreens that suggest a range of tips.

ÂI am proud of our emergency services team who work around the clock ensuring that our community has access to the care they need,ÂŽ CEO Steve Young wrote in the email. ÂReceiving this award 12 times in a row is not an easy distinction to achieve particularly when patients have options.

ÂWhen it was time for my sons to go to third grade, we were at a crossroads,ÂŽ Varner said. ÂWe could hold them back, but their intelligence is such that an extra year in second grade would hurt them.ÂŽ Teachers ” ag students who are falling behind or have low test scores, and meet with faculty and parents to discuss whether a student should be held back or go on to the next grade. Holding back a student can a ect their social relationships and self-esteem, according to the Education Trust. ÂThe only thing holding them back was their ability to process the written word,ÂŽ Varner said of his children. Florida statutes require any third-grade student who does not score at level two or higher on the FSA ELA to be retained unless the student quali“ es for a good cause exemption. Area public schools o er intervention and individualized education programs for students who are struggling to meet testing standards. Several Englewood Elementary School teachers have been training to use the Orton-Gillingham, a teaching program designed to help struggling readers. It explicitly teaches the connections between letters and sounds, and is focused upon the learning needs of the individual student, according to the Academy of OrtonGillingham Practitioners and Educators. Orton-Gillingham training focuses on a multisensory approach that helps students break reading and spelling down into smaller skills involving letters and sounds, which can be a help to students with dyslexia. ÂMany teachers would like to bene“ t from the training, but thereÂs very few spots,ÂŽ Varner said. One of the goals of the Lauren Varner Literacy Foundation is to help cover Orton-Gillingham costs for teachers who are interested in receiving the training. The course could cost as much as $1,000. ÂIt made sense to use our platform to lobby for literacy, fundraise as well as support organizations like The Literacy Center,ÂŽ Varner said.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 PAGE 3D By AUDREY BLACKWELLGONDOLIER CORRESPONDENTVENICE „ When octogenarians Dave and Mari Sutherlin decided to move to Village On The Isle in 2019 from their Nokomis home, they wanted to take their volunteer woodworking project with them. They had a homegrown toy workshop where Dave and friends „ also known as SantaÂs Elves „ made wooden toys for less fortunate children in the world and distributed them at Christmastime. It has been a 501c3 organization. Mari lined up donors and organized the giveaways, a feat she has been successful at since the beginning in 2005. The last year they made toys in Nokomis was 2018, when they made 1,500 and sent them out for Christmas delivery. The group makes “ve styles of wooden toys: airplane, truck, car, alligator along with a chicken with an egg. All have moveable parts that turn or interact when the toy travels along the ”oor or other hard surface. The “nished products carry the logo ÂTFC,ÂŽ standing for ÂToys For ChristÂŽ or ÂToys For ChildrenÂŽ in underdeveloped countries. The toys are distributed through local churches, nonpro“t organizations „ such as Pregnancy Solutions, Family Promise, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Laurel Civic Association and more „ and worldwide mostly through Rev. Franklin GrahamÂs SamaritanÂs Purse, which has a global outreach program. The decision to move to Village On The Isle occurred after the Sutherlins realized it was time to sell their home and move into a retirement community that oered a continuum of care. There is a skilled nursing facility on the premises at VOTI. Also, it is a faith-based facility, which is important to the Sutherlins. During their talks, Dave Sutherlin was considering renting a place for his woodworking project, and VOTI CEO Doug Feller helped work out a way for him to move his project to VOTI. ÂHe was the driver of getting the program in place at VOTI,ÂŽ Dave Sutherlin said. VOTI already had a woodshop and re-opened it up to residents after being shut down due to COVID-19. When planning for the toy woodworking project and realizing the extent of the program, an expansion of making three smaller rooms into one large woodshop was in order. Several construction companies and vendors volunteered to help. Feller said the workshop project was a partnership between Sutherlin and VOTI that became a collaboration with several construction partners that were doing enhancement work at VOTI and with other vendors in the community. Feller said that VOTIÂs interest in SutherlinÂs toy ministry would fall into VOTIÂs faith-based ministry of extending into the community. ÂWe are in the business of senior care, but this is a dierent type of helping others in the community,ÂŽ he explained. ÂPeople from the community are welcome to join in the toy making project.ÂŽ The project was completed in the spring, and VOTI held an open house June 15 for residents and vendors to celebrate the woodshopÂs completion. Jerry Spurgeon, president of Coastal Property Group, which was one of the volunteer vendors, said he was pleased to donate the time to work on the workshop project. Cas Azera, project manager of renovations at VOTI, said that VOTI residents use the woodshop as they choose. Azera works with contractors and subcontractors, designers and architects. VOTI has been revamping the campus, and in 2020 the management authorized remaking the Luke Haven facility into the Village Commons and into a new health center. ÂVOTI is revitalizing the program,ÂŽ Azera said. ÂThe biggest room in the woodshop is about 60 feet x 22 feet and houses a lot of woodworking equipment, tools and supplies. Volunteers from the outside are always with Dave; he is in charge of them.ÂŽ There are three other rooms committed to the toy woodshop project that allow for “nishing and storing supplies. After having been on a threeyear hiatus due to COVID-19 and making the move to VOTI, the Sutherlins are happy to get back into the toymaking business. ÂIf someone here wants to help, I guide them through,ÂŽ he said. ÂSome fellows and gals are not skilled with tools and think they canÂt contribute, but I say, ÂYou can do it. You donÂt need power tools to make it happen.ÂÂŽ On a deeper personal level, Sutherlin said, as he fought back emotion, that what drives him to the project is Âneedy kids.ÂŽ He said he has about six people now working with him, some from his previous group in Nokomis. Cas Alzera has been working with the residents in the woodshop; about four are working with this program. ÂWe have other woodshop residents interested in this project,ÂŽ Alzera said. Resident Dorris Wasson, 89, uses the band saw to cut out toy cars. Wood blocks are premarked, showing where to cut. Source wood can be scrap from Habitat for Humanity and wood donations from vendors. ÂIt takes one or two hours to cut out the car, following the 12 steps Dave outlined on a display board,ÂŽ she said. Wasson moved to VOTI in October 2022 and started working on the toys a month ago. She has previously worked with a band saw, most recently making name tags for children at a local church for the Walk to Emmaus. ÂI made “sh designs for boys and butter”ies for girls,ÂŽ she said. ÂIÂve used the band saw for about 40 years.ÂŽ After all the steps are followed, sandpaper is the only “nish work done on the wood toys. Sutherlin said he does not apply any “nishing elements to the toys and believes that in their natural state the toys are ready to play with. ÂThe nice thing about the cars is that fathers and sons can paint them as they want with a favorite color or add a favorite number and play with them together. They can put vegetable oil on them to make the grain pop and the toy show up better,ÂŽ Sutherlin said.

SantaÂs Elves get ready PHOTO BY AUDREY BLACKWELLDave Sutherlin leads the ÂToys For ChristÂŽ woodshop project at Village On The Isle. Most of the wood is white or yellow pine. The ÂeggÂŽ in the toy rolls when the chicken moves along a hard surface. ÂŽBut the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.ÂŽ 2 Thessalonians 3:3. The Good vs. Evil argument has been made for centuries. Do you believe in the forces of evil? What about the millions murdered in the Holocaust? The enslavement of African people taken from their homeland for economic gain? The present men, women and children slaughtered in the attack Russia has waged on Ukraine? The millions who have suered in other wars and acts of terror around the world? Is this the force of evil? Martin Luther wrote, ÂGod is not a God of sadness, but the Devil is. Christ is the God of joy. It is pleasing to God whenever thou rejoices from the bottom of thy heart.ÂŽ John Wesley said: ÂSour godliness is the devilÂs religion.ÂŽ Jesus was the perfect example of overcoming evil with good. When insults and stones were thrown at him, he did not retaliate; when he suered, he made no threats. The forces of evil cannot match the power found in Christ alone. Psalms 140 says, ÂKeep me O Lord, from the hands of the wicked: protect me from men of violence who plan to trip my feet.ÂŽ O Lord, I say to you, ÂYou are my God.ÂŽ As a Christian, our response to evil should not copy the worldÂs behavior but as the apostle Paul stated, Âre”ect Christ, who is in me.ÂŽ (Romans 12:1-2). At the root of all evil is hatred. The Grandmother of the Juneteenth movement, Opal Lee, once said, ÂIf people can be taught to hate, they can also be taught to love.ÂŽ God always calls us to live at a higher level than the world with the Holy SpiritÂs power. ÂThe cross is foolishness to those who do not believe; it is salvation, hope, love, and joy to those who do.ÂŽ (Dr. Terry Lindvall). I attended a Christian summer camp many years ago. One night an evangelist spoke. Afterward, he gave an invitation to us to Âaccept Christ as our Saviour.ÂŽ I went forward and after the service, I realized that something happened inside me. I had changed. Peace, joy and love welled up inside me. I have been a changed person ever since, continuing to grow spiritually in the faith. GodÂs goodness is stronger than any evil. By responding to evil with humility and grace, we are proving that good triumphs over evil and love overcomes hate. The Rev. John T. James served over 50 years in Florida churches as a pastor.

SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 | YOURSUN.COMARTS SUN By ED SCOTTSTAFF WRITERVENICE „ Kitt Moran understood harmony before she sang her “ rst song. ÂI think I had a really great upbringing, and I had a lot of self-con“ dence in everything I did,ÂŽ she said. ÂI was 3 years old, and I announced to everybody that I was going to be a singer and an actress. That was what I was going to do, and I just persevered. And I had a family that said, ÂWell, all right!ÂÂŽ Moran has been performing professionally for more than 50 years; for the past 13 sheÂs been featured regularly „ now on Tuesday nights with the Mike Moran Trio „ at Allegro Bistro, an Italian restaurant at 1740 E. Venice Ave., in Venice. ÂSimply put, Kitt means a lot to Allegro Bistro,ÂŽ said Cesare Valenti, general manager of the restaurant. ÂKitt is a very charismatic person. She performs wonderful jazz; sheÂs an amazing vocalist on our stage but we also know her as a very, very good friend. She stays connected to her fans, and she does have a following.ÂŽ Born in New Jersey, Moran trained in New York City. She studied acting under Beatrice Straight, who won both an Academy Award and a Tony Award. Moran began performing professionally at age 10, acting and singing in musical theater and childrenÂs roles in operas like ÂCarmenÂŽ and ÂLa bohème.ÂŽ Moran and Mike, her husband of 48 years who accompanies her on piano at the restaurant, moved to North Port 19 years ago. Between her preschool proclamation and the establishment of her home base in southwest Florida, Moran worked as a vocalist and actress. She performed in musical theater, in concerts, on television sh ows, in supper clubs and in night clubs. In 1992 she was selected by Merv Gri n, then-owner of Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, N.J., to open the casinoÂs lounge with Jack Sheldon. Later she sang in the gourmet restaurant. Through that experience she got to perform with two of her favorite artists, jazz pianist Michel Legrand and composer Burt Bacharach. ÂFor some reason, everybody really liked me,ÂŽ Moran said of her career arc. ÂI got lots of nice, really wonderful breaks. I did a lot of theater and I happened to have a good voice.ÂŽ GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK Moran enjoys singing the popular songs of today, but she truly delights in performing the Great American Songbook, songs considered the canon of signi“ cant 20th century American jazz standards, popular songs and show tunes. When she performs at Allegro Bistro, patrons might hear the music of lyricists such as Jerome Kern (ÂSmoke Gets in Your EyesÂŽ), George and Ira Gershwin (ÂI Got RhythmÂŽ), Marilyn and Alan Bergman (ÂThe Way We WereÂŽ), Errol Garner (ÂMistyÂŽ), Irving Berlin (ÂPuttin on the RitzÂŽ), Carole King and Gerry Go n ÂWill You Still Love Me Tomorrow?ÂŽ), and Johnny Mercer (ÂDays of Wine and RosesÂŽ). Moran also is in” uenced by Victor Young and Ned Washington (ÂMy Foolish HeartÂŽ) and Frank Loesser, who composed ÂIf I Were a BellÂŽ for his 1950 musical ÂGuys and DollsÂŽ. ÂAll of these songs are just unbelievable,ÂŽ she said. ÂThe Great American Songbook just has a lot FINDING HER NICHESNorth Port vocalist also makes music with her paintbrush SUN PHOTO BY TOM OÂNEILLKitt Moran and the Mike Moran Trio performed May 16 at Allegro Bistro in Venice. ÂPainting has given me a better sense of singing. You have to form that painting like you form a song you are singing.

PAGE 2E SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By LORRAINE ALILOS ANGELES TIMESLOS ANGELES „ Acting is a craft that often requires performers to master several new skills before theyÂre able to bring a story to life.ÂI had to learn to ride a horse,ÂŽ Emily Blunt said of her role as the aristocratic Lady Cornelia Locke in Prime VideoÂs revisionist western, ÂThe English.ÂŽ ÂBut IÂm wildly allergic to horses. There was a lot of antihistamine involved.ÂŽ Murray Bartlett never really thought of himself as a dancer (ÂIÂm more of a mover,ÂŽ he joked), but he learned to gyrate like an 1980s burlesque star for his role as choreographer Nick De Noia in HuluÂs ÂWelcome to Chippendales.ÂŽ Riley Keough had to sing live, in front of casting agents, if she hoped to land the lead role in PrimeÂs rock Ân roll drama ÂDaisy Jones & the Six.ÂŽ ÂI had just learned to sing, like, a week before my audition process,ÂŽ she said. ÂIt was the “rst time in my life I had ever taken a shot of whiskey before an audition.ÂŽ Even more terrifying? Niecy Nash-Betts and Paul Walter Hauser studied the worst impulses of human nature to immerse themselves in the twisted world of serial killers Jeery Dahmer and Larry Hall for their respective parts in Net”ixÂs ÂDahmer „ Monster: The Jerey Dahmer StoryÂŽ and Apple TV+Âs ÂBlack Bird.ÂŽ And Kathryn Hahn is currently practicing the dark arts for her upcoming Marvel series, ÂAgatha: Coven of Chaos,ÂŽ after having “nished up the gripping Hulu drama ÂTiny Beautiful Things.ÂŽ These six well-respected actors recently gathered for The Envelope Limited Series Roundtable to share stories about the new skills theyÂve picked up on set, what it takes to recover from intense scenes and scaring yourself. These excerpts have been edited for length and clarity. WhatÂs the weirdest skill youÂve ever learned for a role? Riley Keough: I had to paint cockroaches in a “lm ƒ with nail polish. Kathryn Hahn: Live ones?! Keough: Live cockroaches. With animal-safe nail polish. And I had to practice. So I think thatÂs a skill that I have. Emily Blunt: That is horrifying. Niecy Nash-Betts: Yours is way better than mine. I had to go to medical training to do ÂGetting On.ÂŽ But I can take your blood pressure if you need that. And when I did a series called ÂClawsÂŽ on TNT, I learned how to do nails, and I can thread eyebrows. ThereÂs such a variety of experience in this group. Is there a specic production or project where you felt particularly out of your depth? Murray Bartlett: I was often cast in a certain type of role that was a little more vanilla up until ÂWhite Lotus.ÂŽ It was such an exciting and terrifying thing to be given the opportunity to do something that I felt was inside me, but it was really scary. It was equal parts terror and excitement in the beginning, but the script, it was just so good. And [creator] Mike White is just a creative genius and a kind man who is incredibly supportive. But that “rst week, I was terri“ed. It was going really well, and we were having a great time, and we had just done this big scene where, as the character, IÂm super-high while doing this dinner service. And he played this beautiful classic music loud. And I felt like I was ”ying. But I remember him saying when we were in between takes, ÂYou know, IÂm really glad this worked out, because it couldÂve really been bad.ÂŽ Emily Blunt: ItÂs a leap into the unknown, isnÂt it? YouÂve got to put your feet to the “re every time, especially for a big character like that. And itÂs a commitment and it takes courage. You go for it. But you need that environment. ... ItÂs about someone going, ÂWhat else you got?ÂŽ Show me, show me, show me. And youÂre like, ÂOK.ÂŽ So when you feel straitjacketed by the process or the environment, you can still overcome it, because weÂve all been around the block long enough to kind of just force your way through it, but it keeps me lying awake at night. But when someone sees all of you, what youÂre going for, they embolden your con“dence, and then youÂre free. Then you can play classical music and go crazy, because youÂre safe. Nash-Betts: For me, it was ÂGetting On.ÂŽ That show was a gift, because I had only been known to be the funny girl. For a long time, it was dicult for people to see me as anything other than that. I would try to get submitted for things, and theyÂd be like, ÂOh, no. We know her. SheÂs hilarious, but thanks.ÂŽ I stayed on the ride because I was intentional in people seeing me how I saw myself. I can do it if you just give me a chance. It was the “rst time I went into an audition and all these girls had been in TV series before. I prayed and I heard a voice as audible as my own say, ÂIf this is where IÂm taking you, if you believe it, then these women are your peers. Get in there and, and have a glass of Act Right.ÂŽ And thatÂs what I did. Paul Walter Hauser: I did that Clint Eastwood movie ÂRichard Jewell,ÂŽ but this is a $40 million biopic.

Yet I booked the role somehow. IÂd sent in some tapes, and IÂm like, ÂOh, my God. IÂm going to get cast on tapes.ÂŽ And then theyÂre like, ÂCome in and sing live.ÂŽ I was so scared. IÂd been to, like, three singing lessons at this point, and they wanted me to do a song, in person, a cappella. But I had a friend who was auditioning for another role coming in after me, and he brought his guitar. So I texted him [to come play with me]. I sang a Lynyrd Skynyrd song, ÂSimple Man.ÂŽ I donÂt think it was amazing, but I think they saw how much I wanted to do it. I think thatÂs 50% of the reason I got it. Blunt: When I did ÂThe English,ÂŽ they were like, ÂI hear you can horse ride.ÂŽ I was like, ÂTotally.ÂŽ But I happen to break out into full hives all over my face if I go near a horse. So I was on a tranquilizing antihistamine every day of this Western. And you think you can ride, and then you get on the horse, and the horse is like, ÂWhoÂs this [idiot]?ÂŽ But I had the time to learn this new skill and, by the end of it, it felt like [the horse and I] were soul mates.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 PAGE 3E By JILL LAWLESSASSOCIATED PRESSLONDON „ Is there really a new way to look at The Beatles, one of the most “lmed and photographed bands in history? Yes, says BritainÂs National Portrait Gallery, which is providing a fresh perspective with an exhibition of bandÂs-eye-view images that Paul McCartney captured as the group shot to global fame. Gallery director Nicholas Cullinan said the exhibit, subtitled ÂEyes of the Storm,ÂŽ is a chance Âto see, for the very “rst time, Beatlemania from the inside out.ÂŽ The seed for the exhibit was sown in 2020, that year of lockdown projects, when McCartney dug out 1,000 forgotten photos heÂd taken in 1963 and 1964, as the Fab Four went from emerging British celebrities to world megastars. He and his team asked if the National Portrait Gallery was interested in displaying them. ÂI think you can pr obably guess our response,ÂŽ Cullinan said as he introduced the exhibition to journalists in London on Tuesday. The show, through Oct. 1, includes 250 photos taken in England, France and the United States that illustrate The Beatles journey from cramped dressing rooms in provincial British theaters to stadium shows and luxury hotels. ÂIt was a crazy whirlwind that we were living through,ÂŽ McCartney writes in a note present at the start of the exhibit. ÂWe were just wondering at the world, excited about all these little things that were making up our lives.ÂŽ Rosie Broadley, who curated the show, said the gallery soon realized the trove ÂwasnÂt just interesting pictures by a famous person.ÂŽ ÂItÂs actually telling an important story about cultural history „ British cultural history and international cultural history,ÂŽ she said. ÂThis is a moment when British culture took over the world for a while.ÂŽ The display begins in late 1963, shortly after McCartney acquired a Pentax 35mm camera. The early black-andwhite images include portraits of The Beatles, their parents, girlfriends, crew and colleagues, including manager Brian Epstein. Broadley said these images depict Âa parochial postwar British celebrityÂŽ „ concerts in provincial cinemas alongside now-obscure bands like Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers, 16-night variety-style Christmas shows at LondonÂs Finsbury Park Astoria. Cullinan said the photos convey a Âsense of intimacyÂŽ missing from professional photos of the band. ÂThis wasnÂt The Beatles being photographed by press photographers of paparazzi but peer-topeer,ÂŽ he said. ÂSo thereÂs a real tenderness and vulnerability to these images.ÂŽ In January 1964, McCartney took his camera with the band to Paris, capturing the city at the height of its French New Wave cool. While there, The Beatles learned that ÂI Want to Hold Your HandÂŽ was a No. 1 hit in the United States. Within days, they were on a plane to New York, where their Feb. 9 performance on ÂThe Ed Sullivan ShowÂŽ was watched by 73 million people, and nothing was ever the same again. The U.S. section of the exhibit shows the bandÂs increasingly frenetic life. Many of the shots were taken from planes, trains and chaueur-driven automobiles and show crowds of screaming fans and rows of police. Sometimes, McCartney turned his lens back on the newspaper and magazine photographers looking at him. One striking shot was taken through the back window of a car as a crowd chased the band down a Manhattan street, a scene echoed in the bandÂs “rst feature “lm, ÂA Hard DayÂs Night,ÂŽ made later that year. McCartney also took pictures of strangers „ a girl seen through a train window, ground crew at Miami airport goo“ng around. The bandÂs “nal stop was Miami, where McCartney switched to color “lm. The results, Broadley said, Âlook like a Technicolor movie, like an Elvis “lm.ÂŽ The photos show John, Paul, George and Ringo swimming, sunbathing, water skiing, even “shing. From a hotel window, McCartney photographed fans writing ÂI love PaulÂŽ in giant letters in the sand. McCartney, 81, spent hours talking to curators about the photos and his memories as they prepared the exhibit, one of the shows reopening the National Portrait Gallery after a three-year renovation. The images were preserved for decades on undeveloped negatives or contact sheets, and McCartney had never seen them in large format until the gallery had them printed. The project was not without risks. McCartney acknowledges heÂs not a professional photographer Â… though his late wife, Linda McCartney, was, as is their daughter Mary McCartney. Some of the photos are blurry or hastily composed. But what they lack in technique they make up for in spontaneity. Broadley said McCartney Âwas nervous about showing some of the less formally composed ones or the less in-focus ones.ÂŽ ÂBut I think we persuaded him that we liked those because of the story that they tell,ÂŽ she said. ÂItÂs quite nice to have those ones where theyÂre sitting around with a cup of tea before the event.ÂŽPaul McCartneyÂs rediscovered photos show Beatlemania from the insideA London exhibition includes 250 from England, France and the US AP PHOTOS/FRANK AUGSTEINA visitor looks at pictures during a preview of ÂPaul McCartney Photographs 1963-64: Eyes of the StormÂŽ exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Not only are they entertaining, they provide food for thought. ÂŽSAM AND THE INCREDIBLE AFRICAN AND AMERICAN FOOD FIGHT,ÂŽ BY SHANNON GIBNEY, ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLY PALMER. UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS, $17.95, AGES 59. If food is love, who does Sam love the most? His African American mother, who likes pizza and tacos and wants Sam to like them, too? Or his father and aunt, Liberian born, who prefer torbogee soup and who urge Sam to try it? Sam loves them all „ his family and their foods „ and he doesnÂt want to play favorites. He comes up with a solution that makes everyone happy „ and teaches them all something new. Author Shannon Gibney has written an engaging story about compromise, family and love. Charly PalmerÂs colorful acrylic paintings swirl with movement. Another plus: There are recipes in the back of the book. ÂŽWE ARE BRANCHES,ÂŽ BY JOYCE SIDMAN, ILLUSTRATED BY BETH KROMMES. CLARION, $19.99, AGES 48. The mighty duo of writer Joyce Sidman and artist Beth Krommes is back with another glorious book that takes a close look at a miraculous theme in nature. SidmanÂs poetic text says multitudes in just a few eloquent words. Krommes intricate scratchboard-and-watercolor paintings draw you in with swirls and details. ItÂs not just trees that have branches, they tell us. Lightning bolts, coral reefs, dried mud, a batÂs wings, a single feather „ if you look, you will see branches everywhere, steadying, nurturing, bringing life. Children who study this captivating book will relish discovering patterns on their own. ÂŽCAN WE PLEASE GIVE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO THE GRANDMOTHERS?ÂŽ BY JUNAUDA PETRUS, ILLUSTRATED BY KRISTEN URODA. DUTTON CHILDRENÂS BOOKS, $18.99, AGES 48. Writer Junauda Petrus „ author of a Coretta Scott King honor book „ wrote this poem after police killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. If the police are afraid of Black people, Petrus wonders, Âthen who could be around us who is not afraid of us?ÂŽ The answer: grandmothers. Grandmothers, who will feed you Âthings that will make your mouth water and soul arrive.ÂŽ Grandmothers, who will help you with your homework and rub your back while you drift o to sleep. Kristen UrodaÂs digital illustrations capture this uplifting fantasy with paintings both vivid and dreamlike, depicting grandmothers in gardens, cruising in convertibles, holding children close. Look at the world in a dierent way, Petrus book says. We donÂt need to keep doing what weÂve always done. There are better answers out there. ÂŽNANA AND ABUELA,ÂŽ BY MONICA ROJAS, ILLUSTRATED BY EMIKO RAINBOW. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESS, $17.95, AGES 37. Luna lives with her English-speaking father and Spanish-speaking mother.

A glorious medley of cultures, just like LunaÂs vocabulary. ÂŽSASQUATCH AND SQUIRREL,ÂŽ BY CHRIS MONROE. CAROLRHODA BOOKS, $18.99, AGES 48. Artist Chris Monroe, author of the delightful Monkey With a Tool Belt books, gives us a Sasquatch named Strawberry, who Âdid all the alone things a Sasquatch doesÂŽ „ such as pranks, dance moves and crafts. When she meets a mouthy squirrel named Nutty (ÂItÂs not about NICE. IÂm a squirrel. ItÂs what I do.ÂŽ) their friendship takes o in hilarious directions, as Strawberry tries to play with Nutty the way squirrels play „ leaping from treetop to treetop „ and Nutty tries to act all Sasquatchy in return, with unforeseen results. MonroeÂs sentences are rhythmic and fun to read aloud. Her illustrations are busy, highly detailed and a joy to pore over. ÂŽ100 MIGHTY DRAGONS ALL NAMED BROCCOLI,ÂŽ BY DAVID LAROCHELLE, ILLUSTRATED BY LIAN CHO. DIAL BOOKS, $19.99, AGES 37. You can call this a counting book. You can call it a mathbook. I call it a hilarious, charming and extremely silly book. One hundred dragons are hanging out at the cave, as dragons do. Judging by the cheerful acrylic paint and color pencil drawings by Lian Cho, Âhanging outÂŽ means breathing “re, swimming, playing tennis, riding skateboards. But a strong wind blows half of the dragons away, leaving 50. Page by page, more dragons leave „ to become surfers, to start a band, to take a rocket to the moon „ until there is just one left. Once again, Geisel Award winner David LaRochelle has given us a wacky, thoroughly original story that kids will chuckle through. Yes, at its essence, this is a story about subtraction. But it would make a great addition to any childÂs bookshelf. ÂŽLOOKING FOR HAPPY,ÂŽ BY TY CHAPMAN, ILLUSTRATED BY KEENON FERRELL. BEAMING BOOKS, $18.99, AGES 58. Sometimes thereÂs no reason for the blues. Some days you just feel wrong. ÂToday ... nothing makes me happy,ÂŽ a boy thinks. ÂMy chest is full of rocks. ... My mind is full of noise.ÂŽ He tries to get over it „ he does his favorite things, reading a book, playing with friends „ but the gloom persists. Grandmother to the rescue. She knows what this feels like. Together they walk to the park. They watch the ducks and the “sh, but itÂs not enough. On the way home, ÂI hear a wonderful sound.ÂŽ A man is playing a saxophone, and the glorious notes are enough to push through the noise in the boyÂs head. Writer Ty Chapman hits just the right notes „ optimistic without being Pollyannaish, hopeful without promising too much. ÂSometimes you just need to wait for the sadness to pass,ÂŽ the boy thinks, as Keenon FerrellÂs blue-tinged illustrations brighten to a sunny shade of gold. ÂŽSTAR PARTY,ÂŽ BY POLLY CARLSONVOILES, ILLUSTRATED BY CONSIE POWELL. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESS, $17.95, AGES 37. Yes, children should go to bed on time, but as NoraÂs grandparents understand, sometimes itÂs OK to stay up late. In Polly Carlson-Voiles inspiring story, that is what they do. They gather a blanket and some snacks and head down to the dock. The sky is blue-black. The stars are bright. And there is so much to see: a ”ying squirrel, a calling loon, a shooting star. In her rich illustrations, artist Consie Powell has combined ink on scratchboard, watercolor wash and digital layers. The result is deep blues, realistic shadows and a pulsing, glittering “rmament. ItÂs hard to imagine being afraid of the dark after such a lovely book „ as long as there are grandparents and cookies nearby.8 picture books take young readers into a diverse worldParents also will enjoy reading them with their children UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESS LERNER PUBLISHING GROUP PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE BEAMING BOOKS/TNS MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESS By DONNA EDWARDSASSOCIATED PRESSC.C.Âs isnÂt your typical rags-to-riches story. She remembers growing up in a single-wide with her older sister, stay-at-home mom and car-salesman dad. But she also remembers when they moved to Florida after everything in the car lot burned down „ including their home „ launching them into a comfortable middle-class life and a fresh start in a state her dad proudly brags has “reworks every night. ÂFireworks Every NightÂŽ is Beth RaymerÂs debut novel, but not her “rst book. Following her 2010 memoir ÂLay the Favorite,ÂŽ she borrows from her life to create a deeply personal story of a dysfunctional family. Having grown up in West Palm Beach, Raymer puts her local knowledge to use as her protagonist „ a resident of Loxahatchee, Florida „ rattles o the schools she plays basketball against, and how worn down or rich they are. SheÂs familiar with the Baker Act and whoÂs been institutionalized through its use. She knows all the neighborhoods and has eaten at BennyÂs on the Beach. If the gorgeous cover designed by Elizabeth A. D. Eno isnÂt enough to draw you in, let the heartbreakingly determined main character and the promise of an earnest look at the skeletons in her closet convince you. In adulthood, C.C. is engaged to a well-educated and absurdly wealthy man „ a far cry from the childhood in which she learns what it means to “ght for survival. Hopping between the two timelines in stark juxtaposition, the full picture of C.C.Âs life emerges. As kid-C.C.Âs home life comes completely unraveled, the story morphs from tragicomedy to horror, revealing how her family fell apart and left her sister struggling with addiction, her mother chronically absent and her father homeless. All the while, adult-C.C. is juggling a host of modern stresses: the viability of having children, climate change, living in a world that makes it far too easy to compare yourself with the 8 billion others who inhabit it, and reconciling your self-worth with the balance in your bank account. Raymer launches addiction, homelessness, neglect and poverty shamelessly into the lexicon, treating C.C. and her family with nothing less than respect. A nature motif runs throughout the story, blurring the line between animal and human and calling into question what is ÂnaturalÂŽ in a world so unnaturally shaped by people. Animals play a quiet but pivotal role throughout ÂFireworks Every Night,ÂŽ shaping RaymerÂs engrossing novel into a bittersweet celebration of the scrappy Americans who are “nding a way to survive even as the elite push humans and animals alike out of their habitats. ÂFireworks Every NightÂŽ by Beth Raymer (Random House)Explosive debut novel by West Palm Beach authorÂFireworks Every Night is a bittersweet celebration of survival RANDOM HOUSE/APA nature motif runs throughout the story, blurring the line between animal and human and calling into question what is ÂnaturalÂŽ in a world so unnaturally shaped by people.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 PAGE 5ESPECIAL FEATURE Delighted with the results, Paramount Pictures wanted to turn the “lm into a TV series. Murphy did not want to return to television and talked them into making sequels instead. Cost $100 million to make but brought in only $7.4 million, making this attempt at science “ction comedy one of HollywoodÂs biggest ever box oce ”ops. Murphy earned praise for his work portraying R&B singer Jimmy ÂThunderÂŽ Early, whose career fades even as his backup singers rise to become huge stars. Murphy won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award and received his one and only Oscar nomination. The “lm also starred Jamie Foxx, Danny Glover, Beyoncé and „ in her acting debut „ Jennifer Hudson.Murphy portrays seven characters in this remake of the Jerry Lewis classic, including the entire Klump family. Lewis canceled a plan to appear himself when he learned how many fart jokes were in the script. MurphyÂs voiceacting role as a loud, easily excited donkey is a perfect counterpoint to his co-star, a grumpy green ogre. Time magazine movie critic Richard Schickel wrote ÂNo one has ever made a funnier jackass of himself than Murphy.ÂŽMurphy played Prince Akeem Joer, who has grown weary of his pampered lifestyle and, in order to avoid an arranged marriage, ”ees to New York with his aide, Semmi „ played by fellow comedian Arsenio Hall „ to search for what he really wants in a wife: a woman with a strong mind and a strong will. Along the way, Akeem and Semmi get jobs at a fast-food restaurant, learn the value of hard work but have their eorts interrupted by the sudden arrival of AkeemÂs royal parents „ played by James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair. Despite everything, Lisa „ played by Shari Headley „ the woman who catches AkeemÂs eye, eventually falls for him, too, making for a happy ending.Sources: ÂThe New Biographical Dictionary of FilmÂŽ by David Thompson, Internet Movie Database, the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, Fox Business, Fanbolt.com, MovieWeb.com, Box Oce Mojo, the NumbersPHOTO OF ART BUCHWALD FROM WIKIMEDIA COMMONS.

Five years later, Paramount began working on what became ÂComing to America.ÂŽ In 1990, Buchwald sued Paramount for $6.2 million on the grounds the script of ÂComing to AmericaÂŽ had been stolen from his work.

PAGE 6E SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comI was able to bring my whole authentic self to the table in a way that I had been pretending to do as an actor. The space was mine. I felt like that was a creative turning point. Hauser: Until ÂBlack BirdÂŽ with Taron Egerton, I always feel like a guest. Like, bring your kid to work day in my head. Then Taron pulled me aside, and he was like, ÂThis is our show. If thereÂs something you donÂt like or something youÂre uncomfortable with, I want you to feel like you can take the reins.ÂŽ I donÂt think he meant for it to be that emboldening at the time, but IÂve carried that with me ever since. You end up doing better work because youÂre more comfortable and you feel con“dent. Nash-Betts: I always say trust your gift. I donÂt care how small [the role] was. I was ÂWoman at DinerÂŽ in ÂBoys on the SideÂŽ with Whoopi Goldberg and Drew Barrymore, Mary-Louise Parker. A very young Matthew McConaughey was in it. And my part was so quick. But I sat in the theater with my mother, and I was beaming. IÂm like, ÂYouÂre about to see me walk out. This is my part!ÂŽ And my mother goes, ÂWas that it?ÂŽ If I would have reached down to get some popcorn, IÂd have missed the whole thing. But you know what? It didnÂt matter to me, because I was like, IÂm going to stand in this thunder. IÂm going to take in the whole moment. Emily, how much research did you do for your role in ÂThe EnglishÂŽ ? Did you read up on the Old West? Watch a lot of Clint Eastwood lms? Blunt: IÂd always wanted to do a Western, because itÂs such a mythic story space, and itÂs really a potent world, a world thatÂs built on brutality and revenge and the pursuit of justice. ThereÂs these great themes running through it. When I read it, I found it so surprising and so unpredictable, and I found her so unpredictable. When she “rst shows up itÂs like Alice in the Wild Wild West. SheÂs a “sh out of water. She appears to be this sort of feminine ideal, and you think oh, my gosh, sheÂs toast. And then through this gradual unfurling, she becomes a force to be reckoned with. Kathryn, in ÂTiny Beautiful Things,ÂŽ you play Clare, a character who is based on author Cheryl Strayed. She wrote the book that inspired the show, and she was also quite involved in the series. Did it make you more self-conscious because youÂre basically portraying a version of her? Hahn: I had never read ÂTiny Beautiful ThingsÂŽ before getting the part and then I tore through it, and I think itÂs essential human reading. ItÂs so good. ItÂs like an advice column that she had written under the name Sugar for this online, literary magazine called the Rumpus. And itÂs just radically honest advice drawing from her own life. Cheryl has already been played by Reese Witherspoon before in ÂWild.ÂŽ We knew that that had happened. So it was very important to Cheryl and to myself that this not be another version of that Cheryl, that this was its own bird. I had a lot of freedom. WhatÂs the last thing you watched that made you cry? Bartlett: ÂTiny Beautiful Things.ÂŽ Particularly the last episode, the last moments. I donÂt want to give anything away, but itÂs so fragile and messy and hopeful. ThatÂs what it left me with, and thatÂs what made me cry. It was just so beautiful. Nash-Betts: ÂThe Whale.ÂŽ I watched it on a plane, and I had “ve people turn around and go, ÂMaÂam. Are you OK? Are you going to be all right?ÂŽ Hauser: I wept watching ÂCODAÂŽ on a plane, and someone brought me the snack basket like, ÂYou look like an emotional eater.ÂŽ I cry a lot. Hahn: I cried at ÂAftersun.ÂŽ Like, neck tears, when youÂre crying so hard that they fall down your neck and you canÂt stop it. YouÂre just like, ÂWah, ah, ah.ÂŽ My God. That killed me. Blunt: No oneÂs seen it, so itÂs kind of silly to talk about, but my husband, John [Krasinkski], heÂs directed a new movie, and I just watched the “rst cut yesterday, and I was a complete disaster. So many neck tears. ItÂs about the idea that we lose our imaginary friends as we get older, but we all still really need them desperately. ItÂs so moving. Keough: Mine was MurrayÂs episode of ÂThe Last of Us.ÂŽ I took a break, and I had to come back to it because it totally destroyed me. Paul, as serial killer Larry Hall in ÂBlack Bird,ÂŽ you are terrifying. In fact, IÂm a little scared sitting next to you. Keough: I was very curious about you. About your personality. What youÂre really like. Hauser: IÂm a total wuss. IÂm a Jesus-loving, Backstreet Boys-singing, pro wrestling-watching nerd. I auditioned for that role over Zoom with [author] Dennis Lehane and [casting director] Alexa Fogel in December of 2020, and people were like, ÂAre you sure you want to take that on?ÂŽ But I felt like it was a really cool role, and if youÂre going to do the serial killer thing, donÂt you want to do it with a writer like Dennis Lehane? An actor like Taron Egerton? And just like you, Niecy, I know IÂm the silly guy, but please let me try this. When youÂre involved in a particularly heavy scene or series, are there things you need to do to afterward to recover or detox? Blunt: ThereÂs one scene I remember rocking me for a week. It was in this movie called ÂSicarioÂŽ where I had this very horrible, aggressive, brutal “ght with the amazing Jon Bernthal. IÂll preface this by saying that heÂs a delight, an absolute doll. But it was a very real, brutal “ght, and we knew it was a great scene when it ended. EveryoneÂs high-“ving. Then I went home and I couldnÂt sleep for like a week, because IÂd never been in that position of being completely overpowered by a guy. And even though my head was like, ÂItÂs not real. ItÂs not real. ItÂs done,ÂŽ my body and my heart was like, woom, woom, woom, woom. Keough: There is this sort of thing that you do when the scene is really intense so everyone jokes around. But I started allowing myself to feel. If something was coming up, IÂll “nish a scene and IÂll go to the bathroom and cry. Because I realize when I cut it o and leave it in my body, thatÂs when I would become aected. Nash-Betts: IÂve had jobs that will oer you a crisis counselor like when I did ÂWhen They See UsÂŽ for Ava DuVernay, the story about the Central Park Five. That work, you felt gutted at the end of the day, and tequila can only do so much. I needed to talk to somebody because it was so hard. We didnÂt have light days. Same with ÂDahmer.ÂŽ There were no light days on that set. There was none of that. IÂm recently married, and my better half would know the days that I have to go to work and would always make sure I was properly received when I got home. Hauser: I binged ÂBlack BirdÂŽ in Dennis LehaneÂs basement. ThereÂs a moment in Episode 6 between myself and Taron, and itÂs hard to say this, because it sounds like some actor BS, but I didnÂt recognize myself fully. It scared me a little bit knowing that IÂm the person who manufactured that moment, so there has to be a piece of me [in there]. That was upsetting. I cried and called my therapist and my sponsor and had to talk through it.SKILLSFROM PAGE 2E APPLE TV+Paul Walter Hauser, left, and Taron Egerton in ÂBlack Bird.ÂŽ By KIM COOLSTAFF WRITERVENICE „ Imagine if you were interested in fashion design and could learn it from a professional in summer camp. ThatÂs exactly what happened to a group of students who learned to sketch out“ts, drape fabric on mannequins and set pricing for customers at all price points. ItÂs also a way to whet their appetites for a possible career in the “eld. Ariana Probinsky, who has a degree in fashion and apparel design from the Parsons School of Design in New York City, is known for a line of dance wear called Miari. She is teaching three two-week sessions of Camp Runway at the Venice Community Center. Her sessions start with Victorian fashion and go through futuristic styles. ÂWe are covering two decades a day,ÂŽ Probinsky said. ÂThey will learn about the prominent designers.ÂŽ The students in the current session, ranging in age from 8-14, will design everything from childrenÂs pajamas to high end haute couture fashions like those created by icons Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Ralph Lauren, Halston and others. Camp Runway oers indepth experience from concept to construction. Campers also learn fashion history and to present their projects. We talked to some students one day last week. Violet Vignoe, 11, a Taylor Ranch graduate heading for the Student Leadership Academy, said she became interested in fashion at 8 because of her grandmother. Once Violet is done with the sketches for a basic black slim-lined evening dress with plain straps, she will design two purses, one for daytime in leather and one for evening in silk. Madelyn Kowalski, 9, a student at Classical Academy in Sarasota, was trying to decide what neckline would look best for her design. Hunter Houseweart, 10, from West Palm Beach, who was in Venice visiting his grandmother, was working with a navy blue lace fabric. Hunter said he either wants to be a fashion designer or a singer. ÂMy mom always says, ÂYou can be whatever you want to be.ÂÂŽ Sadie Neumeister, 10, came from Chicago, where she also is part of a synchronized skating team. ÂMy brother Quinn is at adventure camp,ÂŽ she said. ÂI love fashion „ since I was 7.ÂŽ The dress Sadie was designing on her mannequin was made of a double-sided fabric, darker green on one side and lighter on the best or ÂrightÂŽ side. ÂIt looks very expensive to me,ÂŽ Probinsky said. ÂWhat season is it for?ÂŽ ÂThe cusp of winter or spring,ÂŽ Sadie replied Lilly Bellan and Lilly Allen, both 11, were working together on an out“t of black shorts and a sporty blouse in a print fabric with short sleeves ÂWhat season is that for?ÂŽ Probinsky asked. ÂSpring,ÂŽ they responded. ÂHow would it be put on?ÂŽ the teacher asked. ÂA zipper in the center back for the shorts and a zipper at the back of the blouse,ÂŽ they said, almost in unison. By the second week, the students had developed several designs for various out“ts, created a decorated T-shirt by changing the neckline and altering or even removing the sleeves. They were using terms like Âsmart spring collection,ÂŽ Âday bagsÂŽ and ÂasymmetricalÂŽ and discussing how to change a bag design from day to evening by the choice of material. Campers also were encouraged to come up with a signature look they will present on the “nal day and graduate with a certi“cate.VeniceÂs Camp Runway offers early experienceStudents are encouraged to develop their signature styles GONDOLIER PHOTO BY KIM COOLCamp Runway grads learned about fashion design in a course given by Ariana Probinsky at the Venice Community Center.

PAGE 8E SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comof heart and soul and itÂs crafted well. ÂThereÂs a lot to go on with the Great American Songbook, with melody. You can do anything you want with it, make it swing, make it a bossa nova (Brazilian-style), a ballad. You can change everything around so itÂs always fresh. And the writing is always fresh. The lyrics always seem fresh. And it touches people. Some of these songs are 100 years old and they still sound fresh. It stands up to the test of time.ÂŽ In addition to being a vocal artist, Moran writes musicals. She wrote a show about Mercer that she performed around 2015 at Venice Theatre and in 2016 at Jazz at Two in Sarasota. She and close friend Janina Sebesky wrote the musical ÂChick SoupÂŽ and performed it around 2008 at the North Port Performing Arts Center, and at the Langdon Playhouse in Port Charlotte in 2018. ItÂs about four women who meet in a gynecologistÂs oce and become friends. INSPIRED TO PAINT Like great music, acclaimed visual art stands the test of time. Moran said sheÂs always loved art and was very moved by it. ÂI would go into any museum and be startled by what IÂve seen,ÂŽ she said, citing in particular a visit to Musée dÂOrsay in Paris. ÂIt was all the impressionist artists which I just love. And I turned the corner in the museum and there in front of me was Vincent van GoghÂs ÂSun”owers and I was so startled that I burst out crying.ÂŽ Then, when the Morans moved from New Jersey to Florida in 2004, it seemed as though everyone here was painting. About 15 years ago Mike asked her what she wanted for Christmas. After years of lessons and performances in singing and acting, and inspired by her friend, watercolorist Ginger Mermin, Moran belted out, ÂPainting lessons.ÂŽ She started taking lessons in Sarasota and at the North Port Art Center in 2008. ÂOnce I started, I just never put the brush down,ÂŽ she said. ÂI became obsessive with it in a good way. ÂI think when you do one thing as an artist, you work with your right brain, that brain thatÂs abstract,ÂŽ Moran said. ÂYour soul is on display and thatÂs what we do in any venue of art, pottery, singing, painting and writing. ThatÂs why I think all of the mediums go hand-in-hand. A lot of famous artists are musicians, and a lot of famous musicians are artists.ÂŽ Moran is in good company. Vocalists and musicians who could be in both a songbook and an artbook include Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Paul Simonon of The Clash, Miles Davis, Sonic YouthÂs Kim Gordon, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Stevie Nicks, Paul McCartney, John Mellencamp, Tony Bennett, Kurt Cobain and Joni Mitchell. Sam Kemp wrote in Far Out magazine online about a year ago that ÂMusic and art share a mutual dependence on harmony, rhythm, balance, and repetition. Whether itÂs recording a song or painting a portrait, success relies upon cohesion.ÂŽ ÂI could not agree more,ÂŽ Moran said. ÂPainting has given me a better sense of singing. You have to form that painting like you form a song you are singing. You have to give your audience a path to follow.ÂŽ ÂSHE ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE Upon entering the performance area of Allegro Bistro, patrons will note an impressionist painting on the wall behind the stage. Painted by Moran, it depicts CesareÂs mother Nella, owner of the restaurant, amid about 10 jazz musicians. ÂItÂs actually quite cool,ÂŽ Cesare Valenti said. ÂSheÂs an amazing artist.ÂŽ Valenti said the recurring presence of a performer such as Moran, who is consistently good at her craft and well-thought-of in the community, is essential for an establishment such as Allegro Bistro. ÂNot only is that individual providing a proper representation of your venue, of your restaurant „ she is an elegant woman, and she is very well-spoken,ÂŽ he said. ÂHaving an individual like that represent our restaurant goes hand in hand. She enhances the experience. She enhances the quality. ThatÂs not even just for our place. Wherever she performs, sheÂs a professional. When sheÂs on stage sheÂs a showman to the highest degree.ÂŽ Moran said itÂs all part of the process. ÂIf you delve into your creativity and you go for it, I think it just sort of expands. I love Allegro Bistro and IÂm at the point in my life where IÂm not trying to become famous or make a hit record. I really want to work places where I can truly express myself.ÂŽ In addition to Allegro Bistro, Moran performs at The Grill at 1951, 1951 Tamiami Trail, in Port Charlotte, on the last Thursday of every month. Meanwhile, sheÂs working to improve as a visual artist and has scheduled a concert next April at Venice Art Center. ÂIÂm just trying to get better all the time,ÂŽ she said. ÂI want to sell my art and I want to get better. I want to have the ability to keep painting. I always want to paint and I always want to sing.ÂŽNICHESFROM PAGE 1E COURTESY OF KITT MORANBoy by Kitt Moran COURTESY OF KITT MORANGirl on a Swing by Kitt Moran COURTESY OF KITT MORANJammin at Allegro is a painting by Kitt Moran who also sing at the Allegro Bistro in Venice.

SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM SUN Charlotte€DeSoto€Sarasota By MARISA GERBERLOS ANGELES TIMESLOS ANGELES „ As the couple sauntered down the aisle, an instrumental hip-hop version of the wedding classic Canon in D oozed from a boombox, and a small crowd, most of them perfect strangers, danced and cheered in celebration. The bride wore a sundress and a veil she picked out moments earlier and the groom a black button-down with a fresh haircut from his familyÂs salon down the street. The ceremony itself took less than 10 minutes „ affordable, memorable and intimate, exactly what Ana Soriano and Luis Moreno had wanted. ÂIt was just us,ÂŽ she told him moments after their nuptials. ÂYou and me.ÂŽ Both in their early 30s, the couple met on Myspace 13 years ago and got engaged at a cathedral in Italy a few months before the pandemic shutdowns. Moreno, a studio engineer, lost his income overnight, and wedding planning moved to the back burner. The couple knew some relatives had spent close to $50,000 on weddings, but they wanted to prioritize saving for a down payment on a home. And being inclined to avoid the spotlight, they liked the prospect of skipping the pressure of a big gathering. They had settled on a backyard ceremony until the groomÂs sister saw something on Facebook about the Old Brown House, a wedding chapel in Highland Park recently opened by a couple who, for years, o ciated free weddings at Burning Man. Before the pandemic reorganized their lives and priorities, Soriano said, she felt some pressure to have a larger, more traditional wedding „ but this had been so much better. ÂPlan B is now Plan A for a lot of people,ÂŽ said Connie Jones-Steward, an L.A.-based wedding o ciant, who said the demand for small ceremonies has remained high since restrictions were lifted. Largely gone are the days of Zoom weddings and socially distanced outdoor ceremonies, but some of the other pared-down celebrations that were once a pandemic necessity are now increasingly a top choice. Some of the lexicon popularized during the shutdowns „ ÂŽmicro-weddingÂŽ and Âminimony,ÂŽ the portmanteau of mini and ceremony „ still dominates the bridal blogosphere, and hundreds of companies have cropped up to cater to tiny gatherings. Google searches for ÂelopementÂŽ „ a term whose de“ nition has evolved in recent years, to suggest a small, destination wedding more than something furtive „ are even higher now than during the “ rst wave of pandemic shutdowns. A survey conducted by a diamond company a few months before the pandemic found that more than 90% of millennials said they would consider eloping. Their top reason? Saving money. Jones-Steward „ who o ers a beach elopement package starting at $399 „ keeps in touch with many of the couples who eloped during the pandemic and learned that some who originally planned to have another big ceremony down the road ultimately decided against it, realizing they were grateful to have avoided the stress and cost. These days, she said, many of her Gen Z and younger millennial clients prioritize saving for travel and a down payment. ÂTheyÂd rather have this quickie ceremony,ÂŽ she said, Âand spend the money on a world cruise for a honeymoon.ÂŽ And if marital longevity is your goal, thereÂs evidence thatÂs a good call. SMALLER IS BETTER? A pair of economists surveyed more than 3,000 people who were or had been married and found that those who spent $1,000 or less on their wedding were signi“ cantly less likely to get divorced than many couples who had spent more. Going on a honeymoon, however, correlated with a longer marriage duration. One of the studyÂs authors, Hugo Mialon, an Emory University economics professor, said he was inspired to conduct the study, in part, by ads heÂd seen on TV as a child from De Beers, the company that introduced the slogan ÂA diamond is foreverÂŽ in an attempt to boost sales after the Great Depression. The expensive-crys-tals-equal-everlasting-love messaging proved wildly successful for the company, which, in another advertising campaign decades later, used an image of a beautiful, pouty woman to help shape cultural expectations around how much suitors should spend on a ring. ÂYou canÂt look at Jane and tell me sheÂs not worth 2 months salary,ÂŽ it read. ÂI mean just look at her.ÂŽ The Old Brown House, which looks just like it sounds, sits on a fairly quiet stretch of York Boulevard, across the street from a cannabis dispensary that was once a Pizza Hut.A wedding for less than an iPhone?Cost-conscious couples are choosing a minimony LOS ANGELES TIMES/DANIA MAXWELLAna Soriano and Luis Moreno kiss after they are married at the Old Brown House, a wedding chapel in Highland Park, which o ered free ceremonies during its grand opening on the second Saturday in June.

The couple met at Burning Man in 2009 and returned several years after that to perform free wedding ceremonies to honor the festivalÂs tradition of giving. They loaned out thrifted gowns, gifted rubber rings and devised a Mad Libs-style format so people could quickly write personalized vows. They married more than 300 couples in ceremonies that, although not legally binding, were often profound. Sweet, 51, and Gambelin, 54, both faced career crossroads early in the pandemic, and as they re”ected on the intense joy packed into that week at the festival, they wondered if there was a way to sprinkle that throughout the year. ÂWe both retired from worlds that broke our hearts,ÂŽ Sweet said. ÂThis is a new chapter.ÂŽ For more than 20 years, Sweet worked to establish herself as a “lmmaker, but she grew increasingly discouraged by the industry and how so much hinges on whom you know „ and how, as soon as youÂve “nished one project, people immediately ask whatÂs next. At the end of 2020, Gambelin retired early with post-traumatic stress disorder after more than two decades as a “re“ghter and paramedic in San Mateo, a job he loved but one that slowly ate away at him. He began to disassociate, stamping down devastating images seared into his mind „ body parts in a “eld at the scene of a car accident, the terror in the eyes of a child whose little brother died of sudden infant death syndrome. He had been there for the worst days of so many peopleÂs lives. It gnawed at him that, even though they surely didnÂt remember him, his presence, his face, had been associated with deep fear and despair. HAPPIER ALTERNATIVE Ociating weddings, he realized, oered the exact opposite; now he was the stranger playing a small part in one of the happiest days of their lives. Using money theyÂd saved from selling their home in the Santa Cruz Mountains several years earlier, the couple bought the chapel in 2021. It was painted white at the time and decorated with signs that the previous owners used to advertise their tax and notary services, as well as weddings and divorces. Sweet and Gambelin „ who both got ordained online through the Universal Life Church to perform weddings „ spent two years renovating the place themselves and, in April, did a test run of sorts ociating the wedding of Hattie Brown, one of SweetÂs relatives. She and her now-husband, Daniel Saavedra, who works as a chef at a restaurant downtown, got engaged a few months before the pandemic and knew they wanted a simple ceremony „ something aordable, lighthearted and poignant to honor the relationship theyÂd built since meeting a decade ago while working at Yosemite National Park. ÂI didnÂt want the whole bells and whistles wedding,ÂŽ said Brown, who stays home to care for the coupleÂs 6-monthold daughter. ÂThatÂs a lot of money that we donÂt have and a lot of work.ÂŽ On a bright Saturday in April, about 20 of their family members gathered at the Old Brown House. Before they walked down the aisle, everyone took a shot of tequila. Two of SaavedraÂs brothers, who initially had scheduling con”icts, surprised them by showing up, and Brown carried a bouquet that included a small picture of her father, who died last year. During the ceremony, Saavedra recalled looking over at Brown and then up at the strings of lights lining the ceiling of the chapel. ÂAlmost like I was in a fairy tale,ÂŽ he said. At the grand opening, the chapel oered free ceremonies all day and the event stretched until after dark. Of the twelve couples who had ceremonies, which were split between the indoor chapel and outdoors, some had brought their marriage license paperwork and others either planned to get their ocial license later or had the ceremony as a symbolic union but didnÂt intend to “le paperwork with the state. A few other couples, including the owners, had recommitment ceremonies. Sweet and Gambelin are still nailing down speci“cs on pricing but plan to oer weddings for around $600 „ less than the price of a new iPhone and less than a third of the average rent for a studio apartment in L.A. The couple added that they intend to never turn someone away because of cost, describing it as a Ânontraditional, nonconformist, sliding-scale wedding chapel.ÂŽ To keep some of the popup energy of the weddings at Burning Man, theyÂve decided not to book things out more than a month or two in advance. ÂItÂs like going to Vegas,ÂŽ Sweet said. ÂElope to Highland Park.ÂŽ Early in the event, people began to huddle near a table decorated with wild”owers in a mason jar and a yellow legal pad. Soriano and Moreno, the couple who met on Myspace, were the “rst names on the list. Sweet welcomed them and tugged Soriano into a shed “lled with loaner dresses and other accessories. Soriano clipped a layered veil into her hair, tearing up when she looked in the mirror. The ociant, Kaibrina Sky Buck, one of SweetÂs longtime friends, popped in to introduce herself and asked what descriptors to use to refer to the couple. ÂHusband and wife is good,ÂŽ Soriano said. An hour later, another couple, Jen Ballera and William Ascencio, who live two doors down from the event space, had their ceremony in the indoor chapel. Gambelin, who ociated, asked them to read from the Mad Libs-style vows theyÂd “lled out 10 minutes earlier. ÂMy dearest Jen,ÂŽ the groom said, Âtogether with you, my life is amazing, fun and damn near perfect.ÂŽ ÂMy dearest Will,ÂŽ she told him, Âtogether with you, my life is full of music and joy and love.ÂŽ After they kissed, Crazy TownÂs iconic track spilled out of the boombox „ ÂCome my lady, come, come my lady. YouÂre my butter”y, sugar, babyÂŽ „ and Ballera lifted her eyebrows in excitement, bursting into laughter. The song had been popular when they were growing up and always had a way of following them. ÂDid you ask them to play this?ÂŽ she asked. Ascencio shook his head. Sweet had picked it out „ a staple on her playlist of favorite celebration songs.WEDDINGFROM PAGE 1F LOS ANGELES TIMES/DANIA MAXWELLDan Gambelin and Tess Sweet renew their vows after celebrating the opening of their business, the Old Brown House.

I want to get off „ permanently „ without going through terrible agony. What's the right approach? „ Lisa D., Birmingham, Alabama Around 50 million Americans contend with chronic pain, and about 22% of those folks regularly take opioids. So, there are lots of people in your position „ they want to stop taking opioids but are terri“ed that their pain will get worse, and they “nd it dif“cult to do it successfully. Stopping opioids once you are dependent on them is not something to try to do on your own. You may need help from groups like Narcotics Anonymous and local and state programs (do your research) that offer counseling. Also, you and your doctor need to develop a tapering program that very gradually lowers the dose you take. You may also opt for medically assisted treatments such as lofexidine, a non-opioid medicine designed to reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms. With the right support, it can work. A study called I-WOTCH (Improving the Wellbeing of people with Opioid Treated CHronic pain) not only helped people come off the addictive medications in a year or less, but it did so without substituting another medication and without making their pain worse. The folks in the study's intervention program had regular sessions that taught them coping techniques, stress management, goal setting, and mindfulness, and they received posture and movement advice, and learned how to control withdrawal symptoms and pain. After one year, almost a third of them were completely off opioids, compared to just 7% of study participants in the control treatment group. Now, that might not seem like overwhelming success, but it is „ these medications are hard to shed. And, Lisa, your determination to get off them gives you a great opportunity to be successful. So, talk to your doctor about tapering and medical support options and access the resources and support you need. Q: I've been diagnosed with a rare disease, Multiple System Atrophy. Can you help me “nd out who might offer treatment or who is working on that? „ Frank J., Evanston, Illinois Close to one in 10 Americans has been diagnosed with a "rare disease" „ meaning that their condition affects fewer than 200,000 people. There are over 7,000 diseases that meet this de“nition and 95% of them currently have no available treatment. That may be changing. The Cleveland Clinic is one of 40 U.S. academic medical centers designated as Rare Disease Centers of Excellence by the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD). They are all working together to increase research, diagnosis, and treatment of rare diseases. You can “nd out more about all rare diseases and locate the Centers of Excellence near you (they are in 27 states) on NORD's website at https:// rarediseases.org. As for your condition speci“cally, MSA is a degenerative neurological disease that has symptoms similar to Parkinson's, such as tremors and impaired posture. If identi“ed early, the symptoms can be controlled. The best approach to getting off opioid meds DEAR HELOISE: If you use a laundromat, always use the bottom dryers. They are not used as often as the top dryers; therefore, there will be less lint in the “lter, so your clothes will dry quicker. When drying clothes at home, clean the “lter halfway through the drying process so your clothes will dry faster. And always clean the “lter after each load so it will be ready to go for the next load. A clean “lter saves on electricity and speeds up the drying time. „ P. A. Almquist, Marshall, Texas DEAR READERS: Dust in our homes seems to be never-ending. But here's a hint: When you dust, don't just move it around. Instead, remove it. Using a dry cloth just rearranges it. So, depending on the surface that needs to be cleaned, you should use a furniture polish, multipurpose spray cleaner or a lightly damp cloth to pick up, hold the dust and then remove it! „ Heloise DEAR READERS: With summer comes camping for lots of families, whether you love getting out to enjoy the outdoors, cooking over a camp“re or hiking. But with camping also comes the problem of getting our sleeping bags clean. Here's the best way to do so: First, look for directions on the label attached to your sleeping bag and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Most bags can be washed, and if your sleeping bag is one of those, use warm water on a gentle cycle. You will prob ably have to use the spin cycle twice to get all of the excess water out. One of the best ways to dry your sleeping bag is to unzip it, spread it out on the patio or clothesline and let it dry in the sun. „ Heloise DEAR HELOISE: Our Dusty was left as a tiny helpless kitten on my daughter's porch, and of course, she took him in and gave him a good home. Just before she passed away, she gifted him to us, and now he is all we have of her.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 PAGE 5F DEAR ABBY: My co-workers and I go out to lunch once a week. We used to take turns driving, but one co-worker is so genuinely thrilled to drive that over the last year we let her do all of it. Abby, she's NOT a good driver. She hits the curbs making turns, and one time she hit another car in the parking lot because she wasn't able to turn into the adjacent parking space correctly. Until recently, these incidents have been more embarrassing than worrisome, but yesterday she pulled out into traf“c without checking for oncoming cars and we were nearly T-boned by a van that had the right-of-way. Her response? "Well! He didn't brake for me at ALL!" She's a nice lady; none of us wants to hurt her feelings, but we no longer feel safe with her behind the wheel. Her biggest problem seems to be that she wants to chat with everyone while she's driving. She gets distracted by the conversation and doesn't focus on the task at hand. How can we nicely tell her that she needs to focus on driving or let someone else drive the team to lunch? „ Uneasy in Canada DEAR UNEASY: I am frankly shocked that you all are still riding with this person. Tell her that not only does she need to focus on driving while she is behind the wheel, which is something she should have realized by now, but also that from now on the rest of you will provide the transportation on these outings. Do not take no for an answer. Your lives could depend on it. DEAR ABBY: While I work 12-hour night shifts at a hospital, my husband sometimes invites his co-workers and friends over. He likes to hang out with a crowd. (I prefer to keep my circle of friends tight.) I don't usually mind. It's a weekday, and my husband has to work the next day (six days a week usually), and he gets our three kids to bed on time. Recently, my 10-year-old daughter told me that while I was working, she saw them with a tube on the counter and they were snif“ng things. She also said the wife of one of my husband's friends came over and that they were making out on the couch and then moved to her bedroom, where they made out. She said she was afraid to tell me sooner because she didn't want her dad to yell at her. I am livid. Words cannot express how furious this makes me. I don't understand how he could put our kids in this situation. I can't help but wonder what else has transpired while I'm at work. How do I discuss this with him without losing it completely and throwing him out? „ Livid in California DEAR LIVID: Your husband appears to have some growing up to do. His judgment was awful. You have every right to read him the riot act, but a speech like that is more effective served ice cold. Because you can't be sure if this was a one-time thing, consider installing security cameras in your home so you can check on your children's safety while you're working.

Feeling fitJULY 2, 2023YOURSUN.COMIS YOUR SOAP ATTRACTING MOSQUITOES? PAGE 8F SUN Charlotte€DeSoto€Sarasota By KAT STAFFORDASSOCIATED PRESSFREDERICKSBURG, Va. „ Constance Guthrie is not yet dead, but her daughter has begun to plan her funeral. It will be, Jessica Guthrie says, in a Black-owned funeral home, with the songs of her ancestors. She envisions a celebration of her motherÂs life, not a tragic recitation of her long decline. As it should be. Constance has lived 74 years, many of them good, as a Black woman, a mother, educator and businesswoman. But she will die of AlzheimerÂs disease, a scourge of Black Americans that threatens to grow far worse in coming decades. Black people are more likely to develop AlzheimerÂs than white people in the United States. They are less likely to be correctly diagnosed, and their families often struggle to get treatment from a medical system “ lled with bias against them. About 14% of Black people in America over the age of 65 have AlzheimerÂs, compared with 10% of white people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The disparity is likely even more, because many Black people arenÂt correctly diagnosed. And by 2060, cases are expected to increase fourfold among Black Americans. While some risk factors may di er by race, the large disparities among racial groups canÂt be explained just by genetics. The problems start much earlier in life. Health conditions like heart disease and diabetes are known risk factors. Both are more common among Black populations, because of where they live in relation to polluting industries, lack of healthy food choices, and other factors. Depression, high blood pressure, obesity and chronic stress can also raise the likelihood of developing AlzheimerÂs. So can poverty. Across the board, Black people donÂt receive the same quality of health care throughout life as white people. So they donÂt get high quality treatment „ or any treatment „ for all those conditions that are risk factors. Then, at the end, theyÂre less likely to get medication to ease the symptoms of AlzheimerÂs and dementia-related disorders. And thereÂs the insidious impact of a life experiencing racism. Racism is trauma that can lead to increased stress, which can in turn cause health problems like in” ammation, which is a risk factor for cognitive decline, said Dr. Carl V. Hill, chief diversity, equity and inclusion o cer of the AlzheimerÂs Association. ÂBut because of this structural racism that creates poor access to health, medication, housing, those who experience racism and discrimination are not provided a pathway to lower their risk,ÂŽ Hill said. It is, he said, Âa one-two punch.ÂŽ For Jessica, it has meant the “ nal years of her motherÂs life have been “ lled not with peace, but heartache and frustration, as she navigates doctors who donÂt believe her when she says her mom is su ering. In the slow, plodding walk that is her motherÂs “ nal years, she has few health care partners. ÂIt has been pervasive across multiple doctors, emergency rooms and hospital doctors,ÂŽ Jessica said. ÂNot being listened to, not believed, not given the full treatment.ÂŽ ÂTo be a caregiver of someone living with AlzheimerÂs is that you watch your loved one die every day. IÂve been grieving my mom for seven years.ÂŽ POPULAR SALON The salon was called ÂHair by Connie,ÂŽ and for 18 years it was the place to go in Alexandria, Virginia, if you were a Black woman who wanted to look her best. Reigning over the shop was its owner, Constance Guthrie. She traveled the world, attending hair shows. She opened her salon to fashion shows like the ÂTall, Full and SassyÂŽ event advertised in an old ” yer she now keeps in a box of mementos. She donned dazzling, colorful and ” amboyant out“ ts to match her larger-than-life personality. In the 1990s, she made the di cult decision to move and close her beloved salon. She bought a home in Fredericksburg so her daughter could attend the best schools, and later became a paraprofessional in the local school district, which allowed her to have a schedule where she never missed oratorical contests or choir recitals. She was always there for Jessica, who is her only child. They often stayed up into the wee hours of the night working on school projects together. Despite meager means, Jessica grew up surrounded by encouragement and love. ÂMy mother gave up everything to make sure that I had the greatest support, the greatest opportunities,ÂŽ Jessica Guthrie recalled. ÂWe were like two peas in a pod.ÂŽ Her motherÂs hard work paid o . Jessica became a teacher and later moved to Dallas to build her own life and chase her dreams, where she was a successful chief program o cer for an education service. DESCENT INTO DEMENTIA Then, seven years ago, Constance began her descent into dementia. She started to forget simple things, like where her keys were. She lost her way coming home from work on a familiar route she traveled almost daily for 18 years. She got into a car accident. The frequency of troubling incidents began to increase, worrying Jessica who was still hundreds of miles away in Texas. They tried to use Post-It notes to remind Constance of daily tasks. Some of the colorful notes still line the walls of the familyÂs home. For a woman who had grown accustomed to being so independent, it was hard for her to accept that she needed help. ÂShe spent so long trying to hide it,ÂŽ Jessica said. ÂLike, ÂOh, IÂm good, IÂm “ ne. I just forgot. But you could tell that a lot of her anxiety and stress was because she was trying to cover this up from other people.ÂŽ She began to wander around her neighborhood. Jessica and nearby loved ones tried to bolt the door to prevent her from wandering. A neurologist con“ rmed she was su ering early cognitive decline and that it was likely AlzheimerÂs. She was just 66 when she was diagnosed. CARING FOR HER MOTHER Soon after, Jessica made the tough decision to pack up and leave Dallas behind to care for her mother full time. She recently began working remotely again after taking an extended leave of absence to care for her mother. Constance never had diabetes nor high blood pressure „ which are common risk factors. She was fairly active and healthy, and would often walk around her neighborhood. But in 2015, Constance su ered a transient ischemic attack, or a Âmini stroke,ÂŽ which is a brief disruption in the blood supply to part of the brain. Jessica believes the mini stroke could have been caused in part by the heavy stress her mother endured at her job, where she worked for 18 years as a special education paraprofessional. She also questions the role genetics played in her motherÂs diagnosis. Her motherÂs aunts are all living with the disease. Her motherÂs brother, who was a doctor, has started to experience cognitive decline. Lost in her own mind, Constance can no longer testify to the di culties she endured „ as a mother, a Black entrepreneur running a business on her own. But her daughter, Jessica, can attest to the struggles sheÂs had, as a Black caregiver, trying to ensure that her mother receives appropriate care. In 2018, her mother started pointing at her stomach, repeatedly, trying to tell her daughter she was in pain. Jessica took her to her primary care physician, who is white and brushed the concerns aside. ÂMy mother couldnÂt articulate that there was signi“ cant pain in the moment and the doctor of the practice basically said, ÂOh, well, you know, sometimes they just come in and put on a show and it seems like sheÂs “ ne,ÂÂŽ Jessica said. ÂThey asked, ÂAre you sure sheÂs in so much pain?ÂÂŽ They sent her home without performing further diagnostic tests. But the pain persisted. Jessica took her mother to the emergency room the next day and a Black male doctor ordered the necessary imaging. She needed emergency surgery to correct a painful, protruding hernia. Then there was the time she took her mother to the emergency room for intense leg pain. She had arthritis in her knee but Jessica suspected something more serious.Racism causes AlzheimerÂs more in Black AmericansThey are less likely to get correctly diagnosed and get treatment AP PHOTOS/WONG MAYEEJessica Guthrie adjusts the glasses of her mother, Constance, after waking her up in the morning on Sept. 20 in Fredericksburg, Va.

By JONEL ALECCIAAP HEALTH WRITERWhat if treating obesity could be as easy as popping an eective pill? ThatÂs a notion that has long fueled hope for many of the more than 40% of Americans who are considered obese „ and fueled criticism by those who advocate for wider weight acceptance. Soon, it may be a reality. High-dose oral versions of the medication in the weight-loss drug Wegovy may work as well as the popular injections when it comes to paring pounds and improving health, according to “nal results of two studies released Sunday night. The potent tablets also appear to work for people with diabetes, who notoriously struggle to lose weight. Drugmaker Novo Nordisk plans to ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to approve the pills later this year. ÂIf you ask people a random question, ÂWould you rather take a pill or an injection? People overwhelmingly prefer a pill,ÂŽ said Dr. Daniel Bessesen, chief of endocrinology at Denver Health, who treats patients with obesity but was not involved in the new research. ThatÂs assuming, Bessesen said, that both ways to take the medications are equally eective, available and aordable. ÂThose are the most important factors for people,ÂŽ he said. There have been other weightloss pills on the market, but none that achieve the substantial reductions seen with injected drugs like Wegovy. People with obesity will be ÂthrilledÂŽ to have an oral option thatÂs as eective, said Dr. Katherine Saunders, clinical professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Health and co-founder of Intellihealth, a weight-loss center. Novo Nordisk already sells Rybelsus, which is approved to treat diabetes and is an oral version of semaglutide, the same medication used in the diabetes drug Ozempic and Wegovy. It comes in doses up to 14 milligrams. But results of two gold-standard trials released at the American Diabetes AssociationÂs annual meeting looked at how doses of oral semaglutide as high as 25 milligrams and 50 milligrams worked to reduce weight and improve blood sugar and other health markers. THE STUDIES A 16-month study of about 1,600 people who were overweight or obese and already being treated for Type 2 diabetes found the high-dose daily pills lowered blood sugar signi“cantly better than the standard dose of Rybelsus. From a baseline weight of 212 pounds, the higher doses also resulted in weight loss of between 15 and 20 pounds, compared to about 10 pounds on the lower dose. Another 16-month study of more than 660 adults who had obesity or were overweight with at least one related disease „ but not diabetes „ found the 50-milligram daily pill helped people lose an average of about 15% of their body weight, or about 35 pounds, versus about 6 pounds with a dummy pill, or placebo. ThatÂs Ânot ably consistentÂŽ with the weight loss spurred by weekly shots of the highest dose of Wegovy, the study authors said. But there were side eects. About 80% of participants receiving any size dose of oral semaglutide experienced things like mild to moderate intestinal problems, such as nausea, constipation and diarrhea. In the 50-milligram obesity trial, there was evidence of higher rates of benign tumors in people who took the drug versus a placebo. In addition, about 13% of those who took the drug had Âaltered skin sensationÂŽ such as tingling or extra sensitivity. Medical experts predict the pills will be popular, especially among people who want to lose weight but are fearful of needles. Plus, tablets would be more portable than injection pens and they donÂt have to be stored in the refrigerator. But the pills arenÂt necessarily a better option for the hundreds of thousands of people already taking injectable versions such as Ozempic or Wegovy, said Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, an obesity medicine expert at Massachusetts General Hospital. ÂI donÂt “nd signi“cant hesitancy surrounding receiving an injection,ÂŽ she said. ÂA lot of people like the ease of taking a medication once a week.ÂŽ In addition, she said, some patients may actually prefer shots to the new pills, which have to be taken 30 minutes before eating or drinking in the morning. Paul Morer, 56, who works for a New Jersey hospital system, lost 85 pounds using Wegovy and hopes to lose 30 more. He said he would probably stick with the weekly injections, even if pills were available. ÂI do it on Saturday morning. ItÂs part of my routine,ÂŽ he said. ÂI donÂt even feel the needle. ItÂs a non-issue.ÂŽ Some critics also worry that a pill will also put pressure on people who are obese to use it, fueling social stigma against people who canÂt „ or donÂt want to „ lose weight, said Tigress Osborn, chair of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. ÂThere is no escape from the narrative that your body is wrong and it should change,ÂŽ Osborn said. Still, Novo Nordisk is banking on the popularity of a higher-dose pill to treat both diabetes and obesity. Sales of Rybelsus reached about $1.63 billion last year, more than double the 2021 “gure. Other companies are working on oral versions of drugs that work as well as Eli Lilly and Co.Âs Mounjaro „ an injectable diabetes drug expected to be approved for weight-loss soon. Lilly researchers reported promising mid-stage trial results for an oral pill called orforglipron to treat patients who are obese or overweight with and without diabetes. P“zer, too, has released mid-stage results for dangulgipron, an oral drug for diabetes taken twice daily with food. Novo Nordisk ocials said itÂs too early to say what the cost of the “rmÂs high-dose oral pills would be or how the company plans to guarantee adequate manufacturing capacity to meet to demand. Despite surging popularity, injectable doses of Wegovy will be in short supply until at least September, company ocials said.

By RICK SOBEYBOSTON HERALDThose with type 2 diabetes who are planning out their exercise schedule should consider getting in a workout after lunch, according to a new study from Boston researchers. Type 2 diabetes patients who were physically active in the afternoon saw greater improvements in blood sugar levels than those who were most active at other times of day, the researchers from the Brigham and Joslin Diabetes Center recently found. ÂIn this study, we show that adults with type 2 diabetes had the greatest improvement in glucose control when they were most active in the afternoon,ÂŽ said Jingyi Qian, from the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders at the Brigham. ÂWeÂve known that physical activity is bene“cial, but what our study adds is a new understanding that timing of activity may be important too,ÂŽ Qian added. More than 37 million Americans have diabetes, and 90% to 95% of that population are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Doctors recommend that patients with diabetes participate in regular physical activity as a method to manage their blood glucose levels. Elevated blood glucose levels can put people with type 2 diabetes at risk of heart disease, vision impairment, and kidney disease. This new study from investigators at Brigham and WomenÂs Hospital and Joslin Diabetes Center uses data from the Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) study. The research team looked at whether physical activity at certain times of day was associated with greater improvement in blood glucose control. Their “ndings suggest that patients with type 2 diabetes who were physically active in the afternoon had the largest improvements after one year in the trial. During the study, participants wore a waist accelerometry recording device to measure physical activity. When the Brigham and Joslin team reviewed the data from year 1, they determined that those who engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in the afternoon had the greatest reduction in blood glucose levels. In future studies, the team may test their “ndings experimentally to investigate why the time of day for exercise may in”uence blood glucose control. From this, the team may be able to provide speci“c physical activity recommendations for patients. ÂTiming does seem to matter,ÂŽ said Roeland Middelbeek, assistant investigator at Joslin Diabetes Center. ÂGoing forward, we may have more data and experimental evidence for patients to give more personalized recommendations.ÂŽAfternoon exercise tied to blood sugar improvements, researchers find MEDICAL WELLPATH RECOVERY SOLUTIONS NOW HIRING:€Custody Technicians starting pay $15 €Residential Treatment Asst. starting pay $16 €Custody Officer starting pay $21 SHIFT DIFFERENTIAL €Nurses LPN per -diem RN €Food Service Manager €Chaplain T o apply, please visit wellpathcare.com/careers/ and search Arcadia.

PAGE 8F SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comThe doctor told her she likely just needed rehab for her bad knee. Jessica advocated for more testing and it turned out Constance had a blood clot in her leg. ÂRacism is implicit and deeply rooted in the air that we breathe,ÂŽ said Jessica, who has started an Instagram account to chronicle her experiences. The problems Black people face getting medical care are pervasive. Black people living with serious illnesses get less help managing pain and other symptoms, and they have worse communication with doctors, according to the Center to Advance Palliative Care. Studies show they are less likely to receive dementia-related medication that can help ease symptoms like hallucinations and depression that make the disease particularly terrifying for families. CAREGIVER DISCRIMINATION Among non-white caregivers, half or more say they have faced discrimination when navigating health care settings for their care recipient. Their top concern: Because of their race, providers or sta do not listen to them. And there are barriers to even being diagnosed properly. A recent study found that Black participants in AlzheimerÂs disease research studies were 35% less likely to be diagnosed than white participants. Part of the problem is a lack of Black doctors. Just 1 in 3 of the nationÂs physicians is Black, Indigenous, Hispanic or Asian. That lack of representation has had a compounding eect on the care that Black people receive „ especially later in life when older Americans suering from illnesses like AlzheimerÂs lack the ability to advocate for themselves. All these things put an outsized burden on Black families providing care. Through her Instagram, Jessica regularly hears from other Black caregivers, mostly women, who have eerily similar stories of not being heard, feeling isolated or being denied proper treatment. ÂI think that part of my journey would have looked signi“cantly dierent if I were a middle-aged white person or a white male,ÂŽ she said. ÂI would have been listened to the “rst time.ÂŽ Jessica has spent the past several months preparing for her motherÂs imminent death, making sure every detail is perfect. But in an unexpected twist, she learned in February that her mother would be discharged from home hospice care in early March. Medicare typically covers hospice care for those who are terminally ill, with a life expectancy of six months or less. Although she remains in the last stage of AlzheimerÂs disease, Constance has been deemed stable. Both her appetite and water intake are great. Her skin is glowing. She still has glimmers of her sassy spirit. On the surface, this is good news. JessicaÂs relishing every extra day she has with her mother. Still, the discharge feels like a slap in the face. Several studies have found that Black patients, across various serious illness diagnoses, are less likely to be referred to hospice or use hospice. Losing hospice services means Jessica will lose all equipment and supplies, including the hospital grade bed that her mother sleeps in, the lift she uses to get her out of bed and her wheelchair. She has lost the weekly nurse visits, vital checks, the social worker and the extra services that her mother loved „ music and massage therapy. Jessica is concerned about how sheÂll handle the next medical emergency. SheÂll have to rely on local hospitals that provided her mother with problematic care before. ÂEverythingÂs gone and it feels like IÂm back at square one again,ÂŽ she said. ÂI feel like the systemÂs failed us and has failed so many other caregivers.ÂŽ ItÂs the latest, but maybe not the last, burden, and itÂs taking its toll. At 34, many of her friends are married, starting families, traveling and investing money for the future. But sheÂs had to spend money on her motherÂs care and largely put her life on hold. Some days she mourns the life that could have been and everything she has had to sacri“ce. She sees undeniable parallels between all that her mother sacri“ced and what she now has given up. But she wouldnÂt change a thing. Her exhausting experience as a caregiver has added purpose to her life. She feels she is also helping other Black caregivers to be seen and heard. For now, she is happy to spend time with the woman she calls ÂCG.ÂŽ Every morning after Constance wakes up, Jessica ”ips on the TV in her motherÂs small room to the gospel music station. ÂMusic brightens my mom. She would sing no matter if she was on key or not.ÂŽ Now, the daughter sings to her mother as sheÂs changing or feeding her. On a recent day Jessica tried making it through ÂTake My Hand, Precious Lord,ÂŽ as she massaged her motherÂs “ngers, before her voice cracked and her shoulders bounced as she cried. Constance doesnÂt sing or clap along anymore, but she lightly tapped her feet under her blanket. And she let out a low, steady hum. Kat Staord, based in Detroit, is a national investigative race writer for the APÂs Race and Ethnicity team. She is a 2022 Knight-Wallace Reporting Fellow at the University of Michigan.ALZHEIMERÂSFROM PAGE 6F AP PHOTO/WONG MAYEEJessica Guthrie shifts her mother, Constance, onto a harness to move her to the living room on Sept. 19 in Fredericksburg, Va. Jessica left her life in Dallas to take care of her mother full time. ÂTo be a caregiver of someone living with AlzheimerÂs is that you watch your loved one die every day. IÂve been grieving my mom for seven years.ÂŽ „ Jessica Guthrie By EBONY WILLIAMSTHE ATLANTA JOURNALCONSTITUTIONVirginia Tech researchers recently released a peer-reviewed study that could help you “ght o mosquitoes this summer. Researchers were curious about whether dierent soaps impacted peopleÂs ÂattractivenessÂŽ to mosquitoes. The study participants used a variety of brands including Dove, Native, Dial and Simple Truth, so researchers could see how dierent soaps interacted with the bodyÂs natural odors, and how each combination eected mosquitoes interest in a subject. According to the study, those who use ”owery soaps and fragrances attracted the most mosquitoes, which wasnÂt a huge surprise to researchers. After all, Âmosquitoes rely on plant nectar to get some sugars needed to sustain their metabolism,ÂŽ the scientists noted. ÂJust by changing soap scents, someone who already attracts mosquitoes at a higher-than-average rate could further amplify or decrease that attraction,ÂŽ said Clément Vinauger, an assistant professor of biochemistry and co-principal investigator on the study, wrote in the press release. The study revealed that coconut-based products were a mosquito deterrent. ÂThat was very interesting for us because there is other evidence in the literature that elevating certain fatty acids, such as those found in coconut oil derivatives, could serve as a repellent for mosquitoes and other insects,ÂŽ Vinauger said.Is your soap attracting mosquitoes?You might want to consider a product change By JASON HOWLANDMAYO CLINIC NEWS NETWORKThe Vasculitis Clinic at Mayo Clinic is a place where experts in a number of “elds of medicine help adults and children diagnose and treat vasculitis, and conduct important research. But what is this relatively rare condition? Vasculitis is a group of conditions „ all related to in”ammation of blood vessels. ÂWhite blood cells, which normally are circulating in the body and protect us from infection, become misdirected. And they actually invade and target the walls of blood vessels,ÂŽ says Dr. Kenneth Warrington, a Mayo Clinic rheumatologist. The exact cause of vasculitis isnÂt fully understood, but in some cases, it might be genetic. It also could be triggered by an infection, cancer, immune disorder or a reaction to certain medications. The in”ammation causes blood vessels to thicken and restrict blood ”ow, damaging organs and tissue. ÂPeople may lose vision, there may be lack of blood supply to an extremity, or there could be organ failure, like kidney or respiratory failure,ÂŽ says Dr. Warrington. Initially, the symptoms can be vague. ÂFolks may just feel unwell. They may have a poor appetite. They may start losing weight,ÂŽ he says. But as it progresses, more parts of the body will have symptoms. ÂIf there are multiple organs that are aected simultaneously, thatÂs when we would suspect vasculitis,ÂŽ says Dr. Warrington. Treatment is usually medications that target the immune system and reduce in”ammation. Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are the most common drugs prescribed.How vasculitis affects the body By CHAUN COXMAYO CLINIC NEWS NETWORKWhen you exercise, you feel less tired and stressed, and more upbeat. Even taking a 10-minute walk is a good start. You donÂt have to run a marathon to reap the bene“ts of exercise. How much exercise do you need? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adults should aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, such as walking, swimming or mowing the lawn, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity activity, such as jogging, running, high-intensity interval training or fast bicycling. The CDC recommends you also add two or three weekly strength training sessions. While 150 minutes of physical activity each week sounds like a lot, you donÂt have to do it all at once. Spread your activity out during the week, and break those minutes into small chunks of time; for example, 30 minutes a day, “ve days a week. While itÂs safe for most people to begin an exercise program, if you have a chronic medical condition, such as high blood pressure, you should consult with your primary care provider before beginning to work out. LOW COST WORKOUTS You donÂt have to join a gym to work out. Lowor no-cost options include: € Walking: Stroll around your neighborhood or through the mall. Park at the back of the parking lot rather than by the door. Choose the stairs. € Clean sweep: Housework can do double duty if you can get your heart rate up. Mowing, shoveling and gardening count too. € ChildÂs play: Engage your kids in a game of tag, a bike ride or an after-dinner dance party. Moving with your kids sets a good example for a lifetime of healthy activity. CREATE A HOME GYM It may be dicult to “nd time to exercise regularly with busy lives. Gym membership costs also may be a drawback. The good news is these “ve inexpensive workout items can be used at home to get you started: 1. Jump rope Jumping rope gets your heart pumping and oers a great cardiovascular workout. When the weather is not the best for an outdoor walk or jog, a jump rope can be a great indoor option. Jumping rope can be performed by people at any “tness level. 2. Mat Mats can protect your back and joints from hard surfaces during your workout. Mats provide a layer of cushion for ”oor-based exercises, such as yoga, core strengthening or a stretching cooldown after your workout. 3. Dumbbells Dumbbells come in various weights and designs. Choose weights that oer a little challenge, and keep them handy. You could curl your way through a commercial break while watching TV or use them “rst thing in the morning. 4. Resistance bands Using resistance bands can improve your strength and muscle tone. TheyÂre lightweight, take up little space and can easily travel with you for work or vacation. 5. Stability ball This piece of equipment will strengthen your core, which is important for the health of your lower back. Stronger back and abdominal muscles also will improve your balance and stability to help you continue moving safely and con“dently as you age. No matter what form of exercise you choose, the most important thing is to get started. Remember to focus on the process, not just the results, and be patient with yourself as you get moving.

How to Buy Down PointsThose with ready cash can do something about higher interest ratesLenders offer prospective homebuyers the option to lower these rates, and reduce their monthly bill, by making a direct payment. In some cases, you may want to wait to purchase in order to save some more money in order to buy down points. Either way, itÂs an opportunity to make a big impact on your mortgage.WHAT ARE POINTS?Meet with a qualified loan officer to determine if it makes sense for you to buy down points as part of your purchase transaction. Both your current financial status and your future plans will come into play. You donÂt want to overspend on the front end and risk being unable to keep up your mortgage payments later. Still, for those with a larger nest egg, buying down points can be a smart budget move. Every point equals one percent of the total financed balance, and each purchased point drives down your overall interest rate. WHY ITÂS SMARTYouÂll enjoy substantial savings over the term of your loan by earning a more favorable interest rate. Still, it takes a long time for these monthly savings to add up, so make sure youÂre financially secure over the life of your loan, which is typically 30 years. Buying points is a long-term investment, not a get-richquick scheme. It works best for those who intend to keep their home for decades, not years. YouÂll need some time to recoup your initial investment.THE BEST CANDIDATESBuying down points makes the most sense for those who have a standard salary structure, with dependable weekly or bi-weekly paychecks so they can rely upon a pattern of income. Buyers wor king in the seasonal or gig economy, or those who rely on fre elance jobs or commissions may want to keep a larger cash reserve to protect against their incomeÂs natural ebbs and flows. If youÂre purchasing later in life, itÂs also critical to understand how your income will change into retirement. Make sure you can afford the note. Otherwise, youÂre a good candidate for the points program since you will be on a lower fixed income when finishing off the balance. You can expect lower monthly obligations in the meantime „ and a smaller balance at loanÂs end. © ADOBE STOCK Fixed vs. Adjustable-Rate LoansFixed-rate mortgages mean youÂll never be surprised since the interest rate remains the same for the term of your loan, but if interest rates fall you wonÂt benefit. Adjustable-rate loans often offer lower initial rates, but can lead to sudden changes in your mortgage payment if benchmark rates skyrocket. REAL ESTATE 101

JOINOURTEAM Body LanguageLet your body language sing your praises during interviewsBody language during an interview „ whether the interview is conducted in person or online „ will either hurt or help you. Even if the hiring manager doesnÂt consciously think about it, theyÂll form an impression based on the way you hold your body and your non-verbal signals. Practice! Ask your friends to conduct mock interviews with you and observe your body language and how you carry yourself. Be more aware of your body language when you are socializing or hanging out with friends. Use it as an opportunity to improve your body language.POSTUREThis starts from the moment you arrive at the companyÂs property or wherever the interview is being held. DonÂt assume that you wonÂt be seen in the parking lot or in the l obby. St and tall with your shoulders back. Move with confidence„donÂt rush and donÂt stumble. SMILEStart your interview with a smile and a warm greeting. During the interview, smile whenever appropriate.SIT PROPERLYSurprisingly, the way you sit during an interview says a lot about you. IndeedÂs Career Guide says that the way you sit can communicate such things as personality, confidence, mood, honesty, reaction to questions, enthusiasm for the job, motivation, anxiety level, attentiveness and comfort level. Wait until you are invited to sit and then sit at the back of the chair. This will help you sit up straight and communicates confidence. If you are given a choice of chairs, choose the one with a straight back. Keep both feet on the ground. Crossing your legs can come across as defensive and crossing your ankle over a knee can seem overly casual. Keep your feet and legs still during the interview. SHOW YOUR INTERESTLean forward slightly whenever your interviewer is talking to show that you are interested. Avoid looking down unless you are writing notes or referencing your resume. Tilt your head occasionally to show you are paying attention and to come across as friendly. Nod as appropriate to show you are paying attention and are interested in what the interviewer is saying.EYE CONTACTConnect with the person conducting the interview. Eye contact is important for this, but you donÂt want to be so intense that it comes across as creepy. When the interviewer is speaking, maintain eye contact. When you are speaking, maintain eye contact for several seconds, look away and then make eye contact again. You can look at their chin or between their eyes. If you are in a group interview, first make eye contact with the person who asked the question and then look briefly at each of the other interviewers.BE STILLWatch out for nervous habits that distract from what you are saying or communicate anxiety. Let your hands rest on the table, armrests or in your lap. DonÂt touch your face or hair or cross your arms. It is OK to gesture if you do it naturally and in moderation. Keep yourself from fidgeting, tapping your feet or fingers, biting your nails, cracking your knuckles or twirling your hair. © ADOBE STOCK

He was born and raised in North Carolina. HeÂs a wonderful person. We both share a passion for antiques, and we love researching and learning about the past. My husband is white, and he grew up in times of segregation. He feels comfortable sharing and showing stuff from that time. A year ago, we watched the movie ÂGreen BookÂŽ about the travel guide published from 1936 to 1966 for African American travelers to use when discrimination was widespread. After that, he became obsessed about buying a copy of an actual Green Book and, regardless of my concerns, he did. We recently bought a Victorian house built in 1900 and have been excited about renovating it and keeping it as close as possible to the original style. We have also enjoyed buying antique furniture to recreate that time in our home. My husband bought an old wall phone and hung the Green Book on it. I expressed to him how uncomfortable this makes me, but he insisted on hanging it in the sitting room. When one of my friends comes over, I try to hide the book, but my husband “nds it and hangs it back on the phone. I wasnÂt born in America, but I am a naturalized citizen and familiar with the sad period of segregation the book represents. What do you think about this? Am I too sensitive to the issue? Should I just take the book and place it in the trash? „ Offended in The South DEAR OFFENDED: What is your husbandÂs motivation for having and displaying the book? He may be a wonderful man, but he is insensitive to your feelings. Because you have already told him how uncomfortable it makes you, it is beyond inconsiderate that he would hang the Green Book in your shared sitting room. Resist the urge to destroy it, but when friends come over and inquire about the book that is so prominently displayed, donÂt hesitate to tell them „ in plain, unvarnished language „ how you feel about it. You are entitled to your feelings. DEAR ABBY: I have an ongoing dilemma with my sister. She often plans vacations for us to take together and springs them on me out of the blue. She then pressures me to say yes and becomes impatient when I tell her I need time to think about it. The thing is, she isnÂt a great travel companion and I donÂt enjoy going on vacation with her. I have taken trips with her before. She is “nicky and picky, and she often expects me to front the money for expenses. I have limited vacation time, and IÂd rather spend it with my signi“cant other and friends who are better travel buddies. I canÂt be honest about this with her because she is extremely sensitive and would take it poorly. On the other hand, I feel guilty dodging all her requests for vacations. She doesnÂt have close friends because her attitude tends to repel others. I want to do the right thing, but I donÂt want to feel used or guilted. How would you handle this? „ Put Upon in Pennsylvania DEAR PUT UPON: I would handle this by telling her no and following it up with why „ that although you love her as a sister, you do not enjoy having plans sprung on you and demanding an instant answer, fronting the money for expenses and spending time with someone who is “nicky and picky. ItÂs the truth, and it may be the wake-up call she needs. Above all, remember that the truth will set you free.Couple quarrel over a piece of AmericaÂs shameful past DEAR ABBYAdvice Columnist CRYPTOGRAMS JANRIC CLASSIC SUDOKU Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9.

PAGE 12 SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 | The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). You know what you want to contribute, and youÂll be working out the details and manner in which youÂll deliver it. Style and tone are very important „ maybe even more important than content. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). Should you do it yourself or ask for help? Be strategic. Keep in mind, people often feel an anity for those they help. This is especially true if the help was rather easy for them to give. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). In the early stages of a situation, people “gure out the lay of the land and their roles. Go thoughtfully here. Once de“ned, itÂs not so easy to change the rules or claim a dierent position. CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). Imitation is the ”attery that feels like an insult. What it really means is youÂre doing something noteworthy. Someone will mimic you. This is an opportunity to see what youÂre giving in a new light. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). You may be surprised at the energy focused on you. The eyes of others can feel like scrutiny. ItÂs better to assume everyone is merely curious. Self-awareness will help you succeed whereas self-consciousness will thwart success. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). Your sincere interest in a subject is contagious. Others who are around you will pick up on your enthusiasm and start to care as much as you do. Tonight, avoid tinkering with things that donÂt need “xing. They could break! LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). Relationships have rules you agree to consciously and verbally, rules you agree to unconsciously and rules you donÂt even know exist. YouÂll now be made more aware of rules that fall into the second and third categories. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). Do you dare showcase your unique qualities and expertise? By doing so, you could position yourself as an authority and inspiration. Sharing your story will create a sense of trust and credibility, enhancing your status in a chosen arena. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). Even the most supportive familial relationships are not immune to con”ict. The intricate web of relationships can sometimes lead to tension and emotional complexities. Expect and allow for diverse perspectives and the unique dynamics between each family member. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). It feels like you are cramming for a test, hoping to retain what you need just long enough to do well when the moment is upon you. Does it help to know that this stress is only temporary? AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). Who you are is always changing, usually very slowly. But right now, the state of ”ux is obvious, and things are happening fast. Remind yourself often of what you want and orient yourself to that north star. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). Your mission is personal in nature. You want to know the true scope of what you can do so you can work in the scale most be“tting of your abilities. TODAYÂS BIRTHDAY (JULY 2). YouÂll take on rigors and build yourself into a role thatÂs long been your aim. YouÂve a compelling way of expressing yourself that will captivate the attention and interest of others. Though the money may be good, the kinship of others is what makes your work joyful. More highlights: a funny new friend, philanthropy and a cash-out opportunity. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10 , 5 , 29 and 1. HOROSCOPEDEAR HELOISE: My beloved golden retriever, Izzy, loved to go to the park and go on rides in the car. But, as she aged, it became exceedingly dif“cult for her to jump into the SUV. At 72 pounds, I could not lift her, so she needed a step up. Instead of purchasing an expensive special stair step for her at the pet store, I took a plastic storage tub, removed the lid and ”ipped it over, giving her the perfect height for the “rst step that she could reach. She then could take the next step right up into the backseat. The tub was lightweight, not cumbersome and also served a second purpose in my SUV. I stored the tub in the back of my vehicle, where it kept my grocery and shopping bags neatly contained so they wouldnÂt spill or roll around in the back of my vehicle. „ D.P., in Kerrville, Texas DEAR READERS: To make your “replace look nice during the warmer months, put a couple of large candles and light them for a pretty glow at night. You also can place a big basket “lled with arti“cial ”owers or other decorative items inside the “replace, to make it look attractive. „ Heloise DEAR READERS: If you discover that the glasses in your sink are stuck together, you can unstick them without breaking them by trying a cold-heat approach. Place ice cubes in the top of the stuck glass (because cold contracts), and then put the bottom of the glass into a sink “lled with warm to hot water (because heat expands). Let them stay in the sink for several minutes. Then, carefully pull them apart. „ Heloise DEAR HELOISE: Instead of throwing out ”ower vases after the ”owers have dried, please drop them off at your local ”ower shop. It saves the land“ll and reduces cost for the ”ower shop. Thank you. „ J.L., in North Dakota DEAR HELOISE: IÂve read a couple of hints about how to make it easier to “nd oneÂs car in a parking lot. Having a common model in white, I found a fun answer that works well for me. While many people decorate their homes for various seasons and holidays, I decorate my car. I buy tinsel garlands at my local hobby store and wrap them around the luggage bars across the top of my car, securing them with twist ties. I use red from Christmas to ValentineÂs Day; green from St. PatrickÂs Day through spring; red, white and blue from Memorial Day to Independence Day; and fall-colored leaves in autumn. IÂve had strangers comment that they like my decorations. When I tell them it helps me “nd my car in parking lots, they compliment me on my idea. It makes me smile! „ K.M., Colorado Springs, Colorado DEAR READERS: Your CREDIT SCORE is important when you are building your “nancial future. Your credit score is a number (from 300 to 850) that considers many factors: if you pay your bills on time, how many credit accounts you have, how much you use that credit, how many new accounts you open, any delinquent accounts you may have, and other things. Companies may look at your credit score when deciding whether to lend you money, sell you goods or services and then collect for them over time, or sell you a home. Businesses know that your past behavior is a good indication of what may happen in the future. Keep your bills up to date, and try not to overextend yourself. „ HeloiseReader gives pup a step up without breaking the bank HINTS FROM HELOISEAdvice Columnist KEN KEN THE LOGIC PUZZLE THAT MAKES YOU SMARTER must contain the numbers 1 through 4 (easy) or 1 through 6 (challenging) without repeating. heavily outlined boxes, called cages, must combine using the given operation (in any order) to produce the target numbers in the top-left corners. cages with the number in the top-left corner.©2023 KenKen Puzzle LLC www.kenken.comKenKen is a registered trademark of KenKen Puzzle LLC. ©2023 KenKen Puzzle LLC.

I expanded into the United States in 1969. Today, based in Toronto and with annual revenue topping 11 billion Canadian dollars, IÂm the worldÂs largest maker of frozen potato specialties; I make one out of every four french fries in the world. I also make appetizers, vegetables and desserts, for both retail customers and restaurants; my brands include Brew City. I employ more than 20,000 people and sell my wares in more than 160 countries. Who am I?Think you know the answer? WeÂll announce it in next weekÂs edition. plan may even offer an S&P 500 index fund. If you do invest in individual stocks (or ETFs „ exchangetraded funds, which trade like stocks), you donÂt need a lot of money to start. Many good brokerages charge $0 per trade, and you can buy as little as one share at a time „ and sometimes even a fraction of a share. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (ticker: SPY) was recently around $433 per share. If youÂre investing in a taxable account, keep records for tax purposes of what you bought, when and at what price. Pay off any high-interest-rate debt before jumping into the stock market, though. The stock marketÂs long-term average annual growth rate is around 10%, and you donÂt want to be aiming for that while paying 20% or 25% on your credit card debt. Be sure to have an emergency fund, too; it should be able to support you for at least three, if not six, months. You never know what life will throw at you „ such as a job loss, health setback or even a major car repair.The Motley Fool TakeProfit With PfizerPfizerÂs (NYSE: PFE) stock seems attractively priced, with a recent forward-looking price-toearnings (P/E) ratio near 12 „ well below the valuations of the S&P 500, the overall health care sector and the pharmaceuticals industry. Why so low? Well, its revenue and earnings are falling due to declining sales for its COVID-19 products. Pfizer will soon face a significant patent cliff as well. Several of its top-selling products „ including Eliquis, Ibrance, Vyndaqel, Xeljanz and Xtandi „ will lose patent exclusivity over the next few years, which will mean competition from generic versions. ThereÂs more to the story, though. Pfizer projects that 2023 will be a tough year for COVID-19 vaccine Comirnaty, but it hopes for a big boost in 2025 from the launch of a combination COVID-influenza vaccine. Sure, the loss of exclusivity for several key products will hurt. But Pfizer believes that its new product launches through the first half of 2024 will generate enough annual revenue by 2030 to more than offset all of those losses. The drugmaker also sees its business development deals adding $25 billion to annual revenue by 2030. In the meantime, Pfizer offers its investors a robust dividend, recently yielding 4.2%. Pfizer appears to be a great bargain stock for long-term investors. (The Motley Fool owns shares of and has recommended Pfizer.) Ask the Fool My Dumbest InvestmentUnintentional Long-term InvestingThe investment IÂve regretted most was made more than 20 years ago, when I bought into Boston Scientific for around $40 per share. I then watched it plummet. Why did I hang on? IÂm not sure, but doctors around me were buying shares like candy, so I followed their lead. I learned a useful lesson: DonÂt follow well-meaning friends without doing your own research. When my brother-in-law saw me licking my wounds, he recommended I check out The Motley Fool. I bought a Motley Fool book, read it a few times and understood my folly. I kept my shares just to remind myself of what can happen with uninformed investment decisions. Fast-forward about 20 years, to a phone call from my brother-in-law with news that Boston Scientific was rising! What? Yup „ it was back in the $40 range. A different kind of long-term investing, and certainly not intentional! I think IÂll just keep holding the shares so they can keep serving as a reminder to do my homework before investing. „ S.L., online The Fool Responds: Boston Scientific shares were recently around $54 „ but thatÂs after a 2-for-1 split back in 2003. So you should have twice as many shares as you originally bought, with a cost basis near $20. DonÂt hang on to them just as a reminder, though, as youÂve learned your lesson. Only hold if youÂre bullish on the companyÂs future. Target-Date, or Lifecycle FundsQWhat are Âtarget-dateÂŽ funds, and should I invest in them? „ F.F., Norwalk, ConnecticutASometimes referred to as ÂlifecycleÂŽ funds, theyÂre designed to make investing for retirement easier. Conventional wisdom says you should hold mostly stocks when youÂre young, shifting to bonds as you approach and enter retirement. That requires some attention and effort, so target-date funds do the work for you. Many fund companies offer target-date funds, each focused on a certain year when its shareholders would be expected to retire, such as 2030, 2035 or 2040. Each fund will adjust its asset allocation over time accordingly, shedding stocks and adding bonds as the retirement year approaches. (Note that you can be more aggressive by choosing a fund year later than your expected retirement year, and vice versa.) These funds can vary widely, though, so look into each candidateÂs fees, holdings, asset mix and performance before investing in one. Keep your big picture in mind, too. If you invest, say, $20,000 in a target-date fund with an 80-20 stock-bond ratio, but you have another $100,000 invested in stocks, your overall portfolio will have far less than 20% of its value in bonds.

When a fund grows very large, it can be hard for its managers to find enough good investments for their shareholders money. Resorting to less promising ones can hurt results, so funds occasionally restrict additional investments to keep growth in check.Want more information about stocks? Send us an email to foolnews@fool.com.FoolÂs SchoolA Great Time To StartIf youÂve been meaning to invest in stocks, this is as good a time as any; putting it off means you may miss out on some big gains. Consider this: If you save and invest $10,000 per year and it grows by an annual average of, say, 8% over 20 years, youÂll end up with about $494,000. If youÂd started a year earlier, for a total of 21 years, youÂd end up with more than $544,000 „ about $50,000 more! The sooner you start, the longer your money will have to grow. Read up on investing before plunking hard-earned dollars into individual stocks. But you can start quickly with just a low-fee index fund or two, such as one that tracks the S&P 500 (aiming to deliver roughly the same return). In fact, you can do very well investing only in index funds for your entire financial life, so donÂt think you need to become a stock market expert.

NATIONAL NEWS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 | 1 Associated PressNANTERRE, France „ Hushed and visibly anguished, hundreds of mourners from FranceÂs Islamic community formed a solemn procession from a mosque to a hillside cemetery on Saturday to bury a 17-year-old whose killing by police has triggered days of rioting and looting across the nation. Underscoring the gravity of the crisis, President Emmanuel Macron scrapped an official trip to Germany after nights of unrest across France. Officials said they were again deploying 45,000 police to the streets nationwide in an effort to head off a fifth night of violence. Some 2,400 people have been arrested overall since the teenÂs death on Tuesday. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin tweeted late Saturday that 200 riot police would be mobilized in the port city of Marseille, where TV showed footage of tear gas and officers in the streets as night fell. Police said 29 people were arrested there, and at least 37 were arrested in Paris near the ChampsElysées, where police vans were seen parked outside luxury stores in one of the capitalÂs most high-profile areas. Near the Arc de Triomphe on Saturday night, hundreds of police with batons and shields stood restlessly along the ChampsElysées, several in front of the shuttered Cartier boutique. Posts on social media called for protests on the grand boulevard but the police presence appeared to discourage any large gatherings. At a hilltop cemetery in Nanterre, the Paris suburb where the teen identified only as Nahel was killed, hundreds stood along the road to pay tribute as mourners carried his white casket from a mosque to the burial site, where journalists were barred and in some cases even chased away. Some of the men carried folded prayer rugs. ÂMen first,ÂŽ an official told dozens of women waiting to enter the cemetery. But NahelÂs mother, dressed in white, walked inside to applause and headed toward the grave. Many of the men were young and Arab or Black, coming to mourn a boy who could have been them. Inside the cemetery gate, the casket was lifted above the crowd and carried toward the grave. The men followed, some holding little boys by the hand. As they left, some wiped their eyes. Police were nowhere to be seen. The unrest was taking a toll on MacronÂs diplomatic profile. German President Frank-Walter SteinmeierÂs office said Macron phoned Saturday to request a postponement of what would have been the first state visit by a French president to Germany in 23 years. Macron had been scheduled to fly to Germany on Sunday evening for the visit to Berlin and two other German cities. MacronÂs office said he spoke with Steinmeier and, Âgiven the internal security situation, the president (Macron) said he wishes to stay in France over the coming days.ÂŽ Nahel was shot during a traffic stop. Video showed two officers at the window of the car, one with his gun pointed at the driver. ASSOCIATED PRESSFire“ ghters use a water hose on a burnt bus in Nanterre, outside Paris, France, Saturday, July 1, 2023. French President Emmanuel M acron urged parents Friday to keep teenagers at home and proposed restrictions on social media to quell rioting spreading across Fran ce over the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old driver.French police try to quell fifth night of riots Associated PressSatellite images analyzed by The Associated Press on Saturday showed what appeared to be a newly built military-style camp in Belarus, with statements from a Belarusian guerrilla group and officials suggesting it may be used to house fighters from the Wagner mercenary group. The images provided by Planet Labs PLC suggest that dozens of tents were erected within the past two weeks at a former military base outside Osipovichi, a town 142 miles north of the Ukrainian border. A satellite photo taken on Jun. 15 shows no sign of the rows of white and green structures that are clearly visible in a later image, dated Jun. 30. Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and his fighters escaped prosecution and were offered refuge in Belarus last week after Minsk helped broker a deal to end what appeared to be an armed insurrection by the mercenary group. The abortive revolt saw Wagner troops who had fought alongside Russia forces in Ukraine capture a military headquarters in southern Russia and march hundreds of kilometers (miles) toward Moscow, seemingly unimpeded. Belarus authoritarian president, Alexander Lukashenko, said his country, a close and dependent ally of Moscow, could use WagnerÂs experience and expertise, and announced that he had offered the fighters an Âabandoned military unitÂŽ to set up camp. Aliaksandr Azarau, leader of the anti-Lukashenko BYPOL guerrilla group of former military members, told The Associated Press by phone on Thursday that construction of a site for Wagner mercenaries was underway near Osipovichi. Up to 8,000 fighters from WagnerÂs private military force may be deployed in Belarus, a spokesperson for UkraineÂs border force told Ukrainian media Saturday. Speaking to the Ukrainska Pravda newspaper, Andriy Demchenko said Ukraine would strengthen its 674 mile border with Belarus. Lukashenko previously allowed the Kremlin to use Belarusian territory to send troops and weapons into Ukraine.

APG NATIONAL NEWS 2 | SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023MADDIE BURAKOFFAP Science WriterNEW YORK „ Hungry ticks have some slick tricks. They can zoom through the air using static electricity to latch onto people, pets and other animals, new research shows. Humans and animals naturally pick up static charges as they go about their days. And those charges are enough to give ticks a boost to their next blood meal, according to a study published Friday in the journal Current Biology. While the distance is tiny, ÂitÂs the equivalent of us jumping three or four flights of stairs in one go,ÂŽ said study author Sam England, an ecologist now at BerlinÂs Natural History Museum. Ticks are Âambush predators,ÂŽ explained Stephen Rich, a public health entomologist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. They canÂt jump or fly onto their hosts, he said. Instead, they hang out on a branch or a blade of grass with their legs outstretched „ a behavior known as ÂquestingÂŽ „ and wait for people or animals to pass by so they can grab on and bite. It seemed that ticks were limited to how far they could stretch on their Âtippy toes,ÂŽ England said. But now, scientists are learning that static charges may help expand their reach. ÂThey can now actually end up latching onto hosts that donÂt make direct contact with them,ÂŽ he said. The researchers looked at a species of tick called the castor bean tick, which is common across Europe. This bloodsucker and its cousins are major culprits in spreading diseases to animals and humans, including Lyme disease, and are most active in warm months. Researchers found that when they charged up electrodes and placed them near young ticks, the creatures would whiz through the air to land on those electrodes. A normal level of static „ the charge that fur, feathers, scales or clothes pick up with movement „ could pull the critters across gaps of a fraction of an inch, according to the study. While those distances may seem small to us, for a tiny tick, they represent a big leap, England said.Hungry ticks can use this static trick to land on you, pets Honolulu 84/75 Hilo 83/72 Anchorage 61/50 Fairbanks 82/56 Juneau 59/49 Monterrey 100/73 Chihuahua 91/67 Los Angeles 84/61 Washington 88/75 New York 80/71 Atlanta 93/75 Detroit 77/67 Houston 98/79 Kansas City 86/67 Minneapolis 90/71 El Paso 100/73 Denver 85/59 San Francisco 79/59 Seattle 79/56 Port Charlotte 95/78 Knoxville 92/72 Greensboro 95/74 Madison 83/63 Bozeman 85/51 Nampa 94/61 Toronto 75/66 Montreal 79/66 Winnipeg 90/62NATIONAL (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 TRIVIAÂ’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.

SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 | 3 NC amusement park closes ride after discovering crackCHARLOTTE, N.C. „ A North Carolina amusement park closed one of its roller coasters Friday after a crack was found on a support beam. According to news reports, Carowinds shut down Fury 325. The parkÂs website advertises the ride as the Âtallest, fastest, longest giga coaster in North AmericaÂŽ that crosses into both North Carolina and South Carolina. Carowinds officials say safety is their Âtop priorityÂŽ and that the park undergoes daily inspections. Fury 325 first opened to the public in 2015 and cost approximately $30 million to build, according to news reports. Carowinds did not say how long repairing the ride would take. The rest of the park remains open.United CEO took private plane as passengers waitedThe CEO of United Airlines is apologizing for jumping on a private plane this week while thousands of his airlineÂs customers were stranded because their flights got canceled. CEO Scott Kirby said Friday that taking a private jet was the wrong decision. He says it was insensitive to United Airlines customers who were waiting to get home, and he is apologizing to customers and airline employees. He promises to do better in the future. Kirby caught a private flight New Jersey to Denver on Wednesday. United canceled 750 flights that day. ThatÂs one-fourth of its schedule.HollywoodÂs actors may join writers in union strikeLOS ANGELES „ Hollywood actors may be days away from joining screenwriters in what would be the first two-union strike in the industry in more than six decades. The actors contract with studios, streaming services and production companies had been set to expire Friday night at midnight, but hours before that the two sides agreed to extend that deadline through July 12. Union members have authorized its leaders to call a strike if no deal is reached. The actors are seeking increases in base pay and want to head off the unregulated use of artificial intelligence to replace them. A combined strike would have huge consequences for film and television production.Megachurch exits Southern Baptist Convention over expulsions of female pastorsLess than a month after finalizing the ouster of one of its largest churches for having women pastors, the Southern Baptist Convention has lost another of its biggest congregations. Elevation Church sent notice to the SBC on June 26 that it was withdrawing its affiliation. The North Carolina-based megachurch draws thousands of worshippers to its multiple campuses and has wielded a strong influence on contemporary Christian worship music. ElevationÂs letter didnÂt state a reason. Elevation Pastor Steven FurtickÂs wife, Holly Furtick, preaches at Elevation to men and women, and has links to her sermons on her website. AROUND THE WORLDNATION & WORLD SUSAN MONTOYA BRYANAssociated PressALBUQUERQUE, N.M. „ Smokey Bear said it best: ÂOnly you can prevent wild resÂŽ Following in the footsteps of their famous mascot, U.S. Forest Service managers in the drought-stricken Southwest are urging people to swap their reworks this Fourth of July for glow sticks, noisemakers and cans of red, white and blue Silly String.Not so fast, say some environmentalists. While itÂs worth encouraging folks not to use fireworks amid escalating wildfire danger, they say itÂs kind of silly that federal land managers would suggest using aerosol cans of sticky party string out in nature. The advice began to pop up in recent weeks, with regional forest officials and the New Mexico State Forestry Division pumping out public service announcements offering alternatives aimed at curbing human-sparked blazes. They used a template that echoed similar advice from the National Fire Protection Association and even American Red Cross chapters in other states. ÂThese are alternatives for children and young people to do in lieu of fireworks in their neighborhood or on their property. That way weÂd like to keep things contained to your property and your neighborhood,ÂŽ said George Ducker, a spokesman for the State Forestry Division. ÂWeÂre certainly not advocating folks go out into the forest and, you know, shoot off Silly String.ÂŽ But if they do, the Forest Service has one request: Leave no trace. However people choose to celebrate, the rules and regulations need to be followed if they are on national forest land no matter if itÂs July Fourth or any other day, said John Winn, a spokesman for the federal agency. ÂThat includes but is not limited to the restricted use of fireworks, properly disposing of garbage in garbage bins, maintaining quiet hours and cleaning up after camping or day-use activities,ÂŽ he said. Cleaning up spray streamers fits in that category, he added. While the spray can party favors have been around since the 1970s, manufacturers keep their recipes under wraps. In general, the string is made of a polymer resin, a substance that makes the resin foam up, a solvent, some coloring and the propellant that forces the chemicals out of the can. Authorities in Los Angeles decided to ban aerosol party streamers in 2004 on Hollywood Boulevard every Halloween because partygoers were using the empty cans as projectiles and many were left littering the streets and clogging gutters. Towns in Massachusetts and Alabama also have adopted ordinances restricting the use of the string, pointing to problems during special events. In one New York town, firefighters who participated in a parade complained that the string was damaging the paint on their trucks. Rebecca Sobel with the group WildEarth Guardians said party string is just one of the hundreds of seemingly benign products that pervade daily life. ÂWe have to be more vigilant about the chemicals in Âeveryday things,ÂŽ she said. ÂMaybe the Forest Service should have known better, but itÂs also hard to know what chemicals some products contain.ÂŽ She pointed to recent headlines about Âforever chemicals found in firefighting foam and other common products, saying consumers have a responsibility to be aware of threats but they canÂt do that if regulatory agencies arenÂt being transparent or reading labels themselves. Some consumer product sites say party string is not biodegradable. While many cans are labeled as non-toxic, the string can damage vinyl surfaces or the clear coat on vehicles. The labels also suggest that if ingested, medical attention might be in order. That goes for humans and pets, as some of the ingredients can contain gastrointestinal irritants. ÂAll of this makes it inappropriate for use at our national forest recreation sites,ÂŽ says Madeleine Carey, WildEarth Guardians Southwest conservation manager. ÂMany seemingly fun party products like Silly String are extremely harmful to our forests and wildlife. Mylar balloons, noisemakers and glitter are also on the list.ÂŽ The bottom line for state and federal forest managers is to prevent human-caused wildfires, Ducker said. While some parts of the West had record snowfall over the winter and enjoyed a wet spring, forest managers said itÂs uncertain whether the monsoon will keep fire danger at bay. For that reason, the messaging will continue, Ducker said. ÂAll it takes is a couple of weeks of really hot, dry weather and all of that stuff gets desiccated and it just becomes fuel,ÂŽ he said of the vegetation that sprouted in the spring. Overall, more than 22,000 fires have burned nearly 1,000 square miles in the U.S. since the start of the year, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.US forest managers urge Silly String APG NATIONAL NEWSEnvironmental groups upset by suggested alternative to fireworksASSOCIATED PRESSA sign warns that “ re danger is high in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains that border Albuquerque, N.M., on Friday. U.S. Forest Service managers are urging people to use glow sticks and cans of aerosol party string as alternatives to “ reworks, but some environmentalists say the string is di cult to clean up and should not be used out in nature.

DAVID KOENIGAP Airlines WriterAirline passengers who have endured tens of thousands of weather-related ight delays this week got a welcome respite from the headaches Saturday, despite concerns about possible disruptions caused by new wireless 5G systems rolling out near major airports.The number of flight delays and cancellations declined from the spikes recorded earlier in the week, according to data compiled by tracking service FlightAware. As of 9 p.m. EST, there had been 836 flight cancellations and more than 27,300 delayed flights Saturday. During the June 28-30 period, an average of 1,751 flights were canceled and more then 32,600 flights delayed, according to the FlightAware data. The cancellation rate worked out to about 1% in the U.S. as of Saturday afternoon, according to Flightradar24, another tracking service. Flightradar24 spokesperson Ian Petchenik described SaturdayÂs conditions as Âsmooth sailingÂŽ in an email to The Associated Press, while adding inclement weather could cause problems at East Coast airports later in the day. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration also advised travelers that bad weather conditions on the East Coast could affect flights later Saturday. Heading into Saturday, one of the biggest concerns had been whether 5G signals would interfere with aircraft equipment, especially devices using radio waves to measure distance above the ground that are critical when planes land in low visibility. Predictions that interference would cause massive flight groundings failed to come true last year, when telecom companies began rolling out the new service. They then agreed to limit the power of the signals around busy airports, giving airlines an extra year to upgrade their planes. The leader of the nationÂs largest pilots union said crews will be able to handle the impact of 5G, but he criticized the way the wireless licenses were granted, saying it had added unnecessary risk to aviation. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently told airlines that flights could be disrupted because a small portion of the nationÂs fleet has not been upgraded to protect against radio interference. But the worst fears about 5G hadnÂt cropped up by mid-afternoon Saturday, prompting Transportation Department spokesperson Kerry Arndt to describe flight travel as being at Ânear-normalÂŽ levels. But Arrndt also stressed that the Federal Aviation Administration is Âworking very closely with airlines to monitor summer pop-up storms, wildfire smoke, and any 5G issues.ÂŽ Most of the major U.S. airlines had made the changes needed to adapt to 5G. American, Southwest, Alaska, Frontier and United say all of their planes have height-measuring devices, called radio altimeters, that are protected against 5G interference. The big exception is Delta Air Lines. Delta says it has 190 planes, including most of its smaller ones, that still lack upgraded altimeters because its supplier has been unable to provide them fast enough. The airline does not expect to cancel any flights because of the issue, Delta said Friday. The airline plans to route the 190 planes carefully to limit the risk of canceling flights or forcing planes to divert away from airports where visibility is low because of fog or low clouds. FlightAware listed nine Delta flight cancellations Saturday. None of them were tied to 5G issues, according to the airline. The Delta planes that have not been retrofitted include several models of Airbus jets: all of its A220s, most of its A319s and A320s and some of its A321s. The airlineÂs Boeing jets have upgraded altimeters, as do all Delta Connection planes, which are operated by Endeavor Air, Republic Airways and SkyWest Airlines, according to the airline. JetBlue did not respond to requests for comment but told The Wall Street Journal it expected to retrofit 17 smaller Airbus jets by October, with possible Âlimited impactÂŽ some days in Boston. Wireless carriers including Verizon and AT&T use a part of the radio spectrum called C-Band, which is close to frequencies used by radio altimeters, for their new 5G service. The Federal Communications Commission granted them licenses for the C-Band spectrum and dismissed any risk of interference, saying there was ample buffer between C-Band and altimeter frequencies.Flight disruptions ease up despite worries about 5G ASSOCIATED PRESSPeople travel through Salt Lake City International Airport on Friday in Salt Lake City.Associated PressSAN FRANCISCO „ Thousands of people logged complaints about problems accessing Twitter on Saturday after owner Elon Musk limited most users to viewing 600 tweets a day „ restrictions he described as an attempt to prevent unauthorized scraping of potentially valuable data from the site. The crackdown began to have ripple effects early Saturday, causing more than 7,500 people at one point to report problems using the social media service, based on complaints registered on Downdetector, a website that tracks online outages. Although thatÂs a relatively small number of TwitterÂs more than 200 million worldwide users, the trouble was widespread enough to cause the #TwitterDown hashtag to trend in some parts of the world. The service disruptions cropped up a day after Twitter began requiring people to log on to the service in order to view tweets and profiles „ a change in its longtime practice to allow all comers to peruse the chatter on what Musk has frequently touted as the worldÂs digital town square since buying it for $44 billion last year. In a Friday tweet, Musk described the new restrictions as a temporary measure that was taken because Âwe were getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users!ÂŽ Musk elaborated on the measures in a Saturday tweet that announced unverified accounts will temporarily be limited to reading 600 posts per day while verified accounts will be able to scroll through up to 6,000 posts per day. The restrictions could result in users being locked out of Twitter for the day after scrolling through several hundred tweets. The higher threshold allowed on verified accounts is part of an $8 per month subscription service that Musk rolled out earlier this year in an effort to boost Twitter revenue that has fallen sharply since he took over the company and laid off roughly three-fourths of the workforce to cuts costs and stave off bankruptcy. Advertisers have since curbed their spending on Twitter, partly because of changes that have allowed more sometimes hateful and prickly content that offends a wider part of the serviceÂs audience. Musk recently hired longtime NBC Universal executive Linda Yaccarino to become TwitterÂs CEO in an effort to win back advertisers. An Associated Press inquiry about SaturdayÂs access problems triggered a crude automated reply that Twitter sends to most press inquiries without addressing the question.BUSINESS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 | 4 Twitter users run into issues from MuskÂs reading limits

SCIENCE &TECH ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 | 5MARCIA DUNNAP Aerospace WriterCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. „ A European space telescope blasted off Saturday on a quest to explore the mysterious and invisible realm known as the dark universe. SpaceX launched the European Space AgencyÂs Euclid observatory toward its ultimate destination 1 million miles away, the Webb Space TelescopeÂs neighborhood. It will take a month to get there and another two months before it starts its ambitious six-year survey this fall. Flight controllers in Germany declared success nearly an hour into the flight, applauding and shouting ÂYes!ÂŽ as the telescope phoned home after a smooth liftoff. ÂIÂm so thrilled, IÂm so excited to see now this mission up in space, knowing it is on its way,ÂŽ the European Space AgencyÂs director general, Josef Aschbacher, said from the Florida launch site. Named for antiquityÂs Greek mathematician, Euclid will scour billions of galaxies covering more than one-third of the sky. By pinpointing the location and shape of galaxies up to 10 billion light-years away „ almost all the way back to the cosmos-creating Big Bang „ scientists hope to glean insight into the dark energy and dark matter that make up most of the universe and keep it expanding. Scientists understand only 5 percent of the universe: stars, planets, us. The rest is Âstill a mystery and an enigma, a huge frontier in modern physics that we hope this mission will actually help to push forward,ÂŽ the European Space AgencyÂs science director, Carole Mun dell, said just before liftoff. The telescopeÂs highly anticipated 3D map of the cosmos will span both space and time in a bid to explain how the dark universe evolved and why its expansion is speeding up. The lead scientist for the $1.5 billion mission said Euclid will measure dark energy and dark matter with unprece dented precision. ÂItÂs more than a space telescope, Euclid. ItÂs really a dark energy detector,ÂŽ Rene Laureijs noted. Fifteen feet tall and almost as wide, Euclid sports a 4-foot telescope and two scientific instruments capable of observ ing the cosmos in both visible light and the near infrared. A huge sunshield is designed to keep the sensitive systems at the properly frigid temperatures. NASA, which contributed EuclidÂs infrared detectors, has its own mission coming up to better understand dark energy and dark matter: the Roman Space Telescope due to launch in 2027. The US-European Webb telescope can also join in this quest, officials said. Euclid was supposed to launch on a Russian rocket from French Guiana in South America, EuropeÂs main space port. The European and Russian space agencies cut ties following the inva sion of Ukraine last year, and the telescope switched to a SpaceX ride from Cape Canaveral. Waiting for EuropeÂs next-generation, yet-to-fly Ariane rocket would have meant a two-year-plus delay, according to project manager Giuseppe Racca.ASSOCIATED PRESSThis photo provided by the European Space Agency on June 29 shows the Euclid space telescope being prepared for launch from Cap e Canaveral, Fla.Telescope launches to start hunt European space telescope has blasted off to explore mysterious and invisible realm known as dark universe ASSOCIATED PRESSA SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, with the European Space Agency Euclid space telescope, lifts o from pad 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Saturday, July 1, 2023.

Fowler leads Rocket Mortgage Classic in a bid to end droughtDETROIT „ Rickie Fowler has put himself in a position to win a PGA Tour title again. HeÂs hoping to take advantage for a change. Fowler birdied six of his last eight holes Saturday to surge into the Rocket Mortgage Classic lead at 20 under, giving him another chance to end a four-year PGA Tour victory drought. ÂIÂm not scared to fail,ÂŽ said Fowler, who had an 8-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead over Adam Hdwin at Detroit Golf Club. ÂIÂve dealt with plenty of that.ÂŽ Indeed. Two weeks ago in Los Angeles in the U.S. Open, Fowler squandered a chance with a closing 75 in a fifth-place tie. And last week at the Travelers Championship, he shot a career-best 60 in the third round to contend and closed with a 69 to drop into a tie for 13th. ÂFelt really good Sunday last week and just didnÂt get anything going, didnÂt get anything out of it,ÂŽ Fowler said. ÂSunday at the U.S. Open, timing got a little off.ÂŽLakers are keeping Reaves and Russell, Bucks agree to keep Lopez in free agencyThe Los Angeles Lakers kept two of their best guards. The Milwaukee Bucks retained their big man, as the early trend in free agency of most players staying put continued Saturday. Dillon Brooks, though, is off to a new beginning in Houston. Austin Reaves agreed to a four-year deal that could be worth $56 million, and DÂAngelo Russell returned to the Lakers as well on a $37 million, two-year deal, people with knowledge of those transactions told The Associated Press. The Athletic first reported the agreement with Reaves, and ESPN first reported the agreement with Russell. Also Saturday, Milwaukee „ which had already retained Khris Middleton „ kept center Brook Lopez on a two-year deal, a person familiar with the agreement told the AP. The Athletic and ESPN reported the deal was worth $48 million for the 35-year-old Lopez, who averaged 15.9 points in 78 games this past season for the Bucks. Russell Westbrook is also staying where he ended last season, agreeing to a twoyear deal with the Los Angeles Clippers „ after starting the last 21 games for them in the regular season and their five playoff games. Lillard asks the Trail Blazers for a trade, team confirmsDamian Lillard has said repeatedly that he wants to contend for a championship. After 11 years in Portland, he has decided he needs to move elsewhere to make that happen. Lillard asked the Trail Blazers for a trade, a move that will end the seven-time All-StarÂs tenure with that team, two people familiar with the matter said Saturday. The team later confirmed that Lillard had made the request. SPORTS IN BRIEF

changed 10% or more in price from the previous FridayBarbara Ortutay; J. Paschke € AP Source: U.S. Census Bureau Working from home increased in the first years of the pandemic „ at least for the jobs that are possible to do from home. Workers in the fields of computer science, real estate, finance and insurance experienced the greatest bumps in working from home after 2020, while it barely budged for laborers in occupations like stockers, truck operators and order fillers, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures released this week. The share of employees working on-site in computer and mathematical jobs went from 60% in 2019 to 30% in 2021, and it went from 67% to 43% for workers in insurance, finance and real estate jobs, according to figures from the Survey of Income and Program Participation. On the flip side, workers in what are called Âmaterial moving occupations,ÂŽ such as laborers, truck drivers and machine operators continued to work in the field.

+6.8 +7.5Mutual Funds MONEY & MARKET$Page 3 www.yoursun.com As Wall Street looks toward the back half of 2023 and beyond, itÂs stuck in a sort of purgatory. Until more clarity arrives about whether a long-awaited recession will actually arrive, markets could be in for a shaky path. HereÂs a look at the arguments for the upside and downside: STOCKS CAN KEEP GOING Despite many predictions for a recession, the U.S. economy keeps chugging along. The Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates to slow it in order to undercut inflation. But the end of those hikes appears to be near as inflation has slowed since last summer. An economy that avoids a recession would support corporate profits, which are the lifeblood of the stock market. It could also broaden out the marketÂs gains. Plus, more money is sitting on the sidelines in cash that could get invested, which offers potential fuel for the stock market. STOCKS ARE IN TROUBLE The economy has avoided a recession because of a strong job market, but thatÂs often one of the last things to crack under the pressure of higher rates. In the FedÂs last nine rate-hike campaigns, seven resulted in a recession, according to Wells Fargo Investment Institute. If the Fed canÂt manage its narrow path, a recession could pull profits sharply lower. That would hit stocks that critics say already look pricey compared with how much profit companies are producing.

AMAZON ENLISTING SMALL BUSINESSES FOR DELIVERIES Many small businesses have long relied on AmazonÂs platform and delivery pipeline to boost their business. Now, Amazon wants to enlist them to help with deliveries, too. The e-commerce giant on Monday officially launched a program it has been piloting since 2020 that pays small business owners to deliver packages during the Âlast mileÂŽ of delivery to customers doorsteps. Axios first reported the launch. The program, called Amazon Hub Delivery, will operate in 23 states and focus on rural areas and large, dense cities including Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Hoboken, New Jersey.AP Market PulseWEDDINGS LOOSENING UP ON DRESS CODES ÂSpace Disco Cowboy.ÂŽ ÂYacht Shabbat.ÂŽ ÂBurning Man FormalÂŽ? More couples are tossing tradition when it comes to what wedding guests should wear, to some befuddlement among invitees. Renée Strauss, co-founder and CEO of the destination wedding planning company Wedaways in Beverly Hills, California, said wacky dress codes come down to couples striving to make their nuptials custom and unique. When her company builds wedding websites for clients, it includes descriptions for dress codes like ÂWine Country Chic,ÂŽ urging couples to offer a broad enough palette for people to express themselves. NYC DRIVERS TO PAY EXTRA TOLLS New York has received a critical federal approval for its first-in-the-nation plan to charge big tolls to drive into the most visited parts of Manhattan, part of an effort to reduce traffic, improve air quality and raise funds for the cityÂs public transit system. The program could begin as soon as the spring of 2024, bringing New York City into line with places like London, Singapore, and Stockholm that have implemented similar tolling programs for highly congested business districts. The congestion pricing plan cleared its final federal hurdle after getting approved by the Federal Highway Administration, a spokesperson for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Monday.
