In a Monday news release, FEMA stated its Public Assistance program has OKd the billion dollars in the last nine months since Hurricane Ian made landfall, striking Charlotte and Lee counties; inundating hundreds of miles of the state with ” oodwaters and ripping apart homes and buildings with Category 4 winds. The funding is geared to emergency response, debris removal and repair or replacement of public facilities,Ž it stated. There have been about 6,300 projects that sought federal reimbursement, including: € $79 million to Florida Division of Emergency Management to assist with post-hurricane mosquito controlFEMA says $1B has been spent after Hurricane IanMore projects still being looked at to assist with public facilities By ELAINE ALLENEMRICHSTAFF WRITER Between thunder and “ reworks, its a tough week for dogs and cats, especially those in cages at a local animal shelter. Its not too late to help. The Suncoast Humane Society seeks volunteers to help shelter animals from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday, 6781 San Casa Drive, Englewood. Volunteers are needed to walk, comfort and snuggle dogs and cats that are stressing out due to the “ reworks and noises,Ž Suncoast Humane Society Operations Director Mary Rodriguez stated in a news release. The shelter will have food and drinks for volunteers. Volunteers can sleepover with a shelter pet to help them through the night. For those trying to soothe their own dogs, there are a few techniques that can be done before hours of “ reworks begin. According to Je Joyce, like humans, each dog is individual. Joyce, of Englewood, is a certi“ ed trainer, canine behavior therapist and director of Positive Solutions for A Sound Beginnings of SouthWest FL. Joyce recommends asking a veterinarian if a dog has any medical issues associated with sounds. The vet can help with the level of sensitivity the dog is su ering, he said. If a dog didnt have issues with “ reworks and thunder when it was younger, but does as the dog aged, it could be that the dog doesnt hear things like it used to and cant anticipate those sounds. Joyce works on ways to counter-condition the dog to respond to “ reworks or during a thunderstorm. Its a method to change the dogs negative feelings about an experience to positive ones. By JIM SALTERASSOCIATED PRESSThe Fourth of July is Americana at its core: parades and cookouts and cold beer and, of course, “ reworks.Those pyrotechnics also make it an especially dangerous holiday, typically resulting in more than 10,000 trips to the emergency room. Yet “ reworks remain at the center of Independence Day, a holiday 247 years in the making. Here are “ ve things to know about July Fourth, including the origin of the holiday and how “ reworks became part of the tradition. THE ORIGIN OF INDEPENDENCE DAY The holiday celebrates the Second Continental Congress unanimous adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, a document announcing the colonies separation from Great Britain. One year later, according to the Library of Congress, a spontaneous celebration in Philadelphia marked the anniversary of American independence. But across the burgeoning nation, observations didnt become commonplace until after the War of 1812. It quickly took o : The Library of Congress notes that major historic events in the 19th century, such as groundbreaking ceremonies for the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, were scheduled to coincide with Fourth of July festivities. HOW DID FIREWORKS BECAME A TRADITION? The display of pyrotechnics has been a big part of Independence Day from the outset. Founding Father John Adams saw it coming. Commemoration of Americas independence ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bon“ res and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more,Ž Adams wrote in a letter to his wife, Abigail, dated July 3, 1776. Fireworks were around centuries before America became a nation. The American Pyrotechnics Association says many historians believe “ reworks were “ rst developed in the second century B.C. in ancient China by throwing bamboo stalks into “ res, causing explosions as the hollow air pockets overheated. By the 15th century, “ reworks were widely used for religious festivals and public entertainment in Europe and early U.S. settlers carried on those traditions, the association said. THE PRESIDENT WHO REFUSED TO CELEBRATE Presidents from George Washington to Joe Biden have celebrated the nations birth on the Fourth of July, with one exception: Adams. His letter to his wife aside, Adams refused to celebrate the holiday on July 4 because he felt July 2 was the real Independence Day. Why? It was on July 2, 1776, that the Continental Congress voted in favor of the resolution for independence, though the Declaration of Independence wasnt formally adopted until two days later. Adams was so adamant that he turned down invitations to festivals and other events, even while serving as the nations second president. Ironically, Adams and Thomas Je erson, the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, both died on the 50th anniversary of the documents formal adoption, July 4, 1826. HOW POPULAR ARE FIREWORKS? Consumer sales of “ reworks have grown rapidly over the past two decades. Statistics from the American Pyrotechnics Association show that in 2000, American consumers spent $407 million on “ reworks. By 2022, that “ gure rose to $2.3 billion. The biggest jump came during the COVID-19 pandemic, when public “ reworks displays were shut down. Consumer sales jumped from $1 billion in 2019 to $1.9 billion in 2020. People went to the “ reworks store beginning Memorial Day weekend and SEE FEMA , 6ABark at the boomWays to protect your pets from fireworks, anxiety, fleeing PHOTO PROVIDED Dogs may retreat to a cage for comfort during reworks or storms.SEE PETS , 4AHow did fireworks become an American tradition?

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 PAGE 3A By JULIO CORTEZ and HOLLY RAMER ASSOCIATED PRESSBALTIMORE „ Gun“re erupted at a block party in Baltimore on Sunday „ killing two people, wounding 28 and leaving an extensive crime scene that marred the U.S. holiday weekend, police said. Three of the wounded were in critical condition and more than a dozen were under 18. The shooting took place just after 12:30 a.m. when at least two people opened “re at a block party in the Brooklyn Homes area in the southern part of the city, said Richard Worley, Baltimores acting police commissioner. No arrests had been made by late afternoon. It wasnt clear if the shooting was targeted or random, Worley said. The shooting comes amid gatherings around the country leading up to the July Fourth holiday. Elsewhere, a shooting in Kansas left seven people with gunshot wounds and two more victims hospitalized after being trampled as people rushed out of a nightclub early Sunday morning, police there said. The violence in Baltimore occurred as federal prosecutors there this week touted their eorts to reduce violent crime in the city. Police have reported nearly 130 homicides and close to 300 shootings so far this year, though thats down from the same time last year. Authorities have vowed to crack down aggressively on repeat violent oenders. Nine of Sundays victims were taken by ambulance and 20 walked into area hospitals with injuries from the shooting, Worley said. Nine remained hospitalized Sunday afternoon. The deceased victims were identi“ed as 18-yearold Aaliyah Gonzalez and 20-year-old Kylis Fagbemi, police said Sunday. Gonzalez died at the scene, and Fagbemi died at the hospital. The 28 injured ranged in age from 13 to 32, with more than half of them being younger than 18, ocials said. I want those who are responsible to hear me, and hear me very clearly,Ž Mayor Brandon Scott said at the scene. We will not stop until we “nd you, and we will “nd you. Until then, I hope that every single breath you take, that you think about the lives that you took, think about the lives that you impacted here tonight.Ž Scott asked anyone with information to come forward to help investigators locate the cowardsŽ who were responsible for the shooting. Gov. Wes Moore said his heart breaks for these victims, their families, and the Baltimore community that is coping with the loss.ŽBaltimore shooting victims include more than a dozen minors, police say By COLLIN BINKLEY AP EDUCATION WRITERWASHINGTON „ A civil rights group is challenging legacy admissions at Harvard University, saying the practice discriminates against students of color by giving an unfair boost to the mostly white children of alumni. The practice of giving priority to the children of alumni has faced growing pushback in the wake of last weeks Supreme Courts decision ending armative action in higher education. The NAACP added its weight behind the eort on Monday, asking more than 1,500 colleges and universities to even the playing “eld in admissions, including by ending legacy admissions. The civil rights complaint was “led Monday by Lawyers for Civil Rights, a nonpro“t based in Boston, on behalf of Black and Latino community groups in New England, alleging that Harvards admissions system violates the Civil Rights Act. Why are we rewarding children for privileges and advantages accrued by prior generations?Ž said Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal, the groups executive director. Your familys last name and the size of your bank account are not a measure of merit, and should have no bearing on the college admissions process.Ž Opponents say the practice is no longer defensible without armative action providing a counterbalance. The courts ruling says colleges must ignore the race of applicants, activists point out, but schools can still give a boost to the children of alumni and donors. The complaint, submitted with the Education Departments Oce for Civil Rights, draws on Harvard data that came to light amid the armative action case that landed before the Supreme Court. The records revealed that 70% of Harvards donor-related and legacy applicants are white, and being a legacy student makes an applicant roughly six times more likely to be admitted. It draws attention to other colleges that have abandoned the practice amid questions about its fairness, including Amherst College and Johns Hopkins University. The complaint alleges that Harvards legacy preference has nothing to do with merit and takes away slots from quali“ed students of color. It asks the U.S. Education Department to declare the practice illegal and force Harvard to abandon it as long as the university receives federal funding. A spot given to a legacy or donor-related applicant is a spot that becomes unavailable to an applicant who meets the admissions criteria based purely on his or her own merit,Ž according to the complaint. If legacy and donor preferences were removed, it adds, more students of color would be admitted to Harvard.Ž Harvard said it would not comment on the complaint. Last week, the University rearmed its commitment to the fundamental principle that deep and transformative teaching, learning, and research depend upon a community comprising people of many backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences,Ž the university said in a prepared statement. As we said, in the weeks and months ahead, the University will determine how to preserve our essential values, consistent with the Courts new precedent.Ž The complaint was “led on behalf of Chica Project, African Community Economic Development of New England, and the Greater Boston Latino Network. Also Monday, the NAACP launched a campaign aiming to get universities across the nation to promote campus diversity. The group called on 532 public and 1,134 private colleges and universities to end legacy preferences, eliminate racially biasedŽ entrance examinations, recruit diverse faculty, and support lowincome and “rst-generation students with scholarships and mentoring, among other steps.Activists spurred by affirmative action ruling challenge legacy admissions AP PHOTO/JOSE LUIS MAGANA Demonstrators protest outside of the Supreme Court on Thursday in Washington, after the Supreme Court struck down armative action in college admissions, saying race cannot be a factor.

SIESTA KEY BEACH Watch the “reworks hosted by the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce. 7-10 p.m. Siesta Beach, 948 Beach Road, Sarasota. scgov.net.Where to find the fireworksCounterconditioning involves pairing every presentation of the stimulus (bad thing) with something your dog enjoys. The dog owner should determine what the dog loves and associate that item (tennis ball, dog treat) or activity with the stimulus. Then the dog is focused and anticipates something good instead of being scared. When they hear the loud rumbling of thunder or a sharp crack of a “rework, its unpredictable for the dog, and the dog reacts with fear or anxiety or shakes,Ž he said. Other techniques include “lling a dog toy with organic pumpkin, pieces of boiled chicken breast and peanut butter and freeze it. Each time the dog hears the thunder clap or the boom of “reworks, give it a treat, Joyce said. It redirects the dogs thinking. Pull it out so they have a special treat when they hear thunder, now they are thinking about how to get at the food inside the frozen treat, they are not scared, they are thinking of how to get at that food,Ž he said. Joyce uses music by Bruce Oscar called Music to help dogs cope with stress or fearŽ thats speci“cally designed for sound therapy. It uses brown noises to soothe, reduce or mue the sharpness of sounds, Joyce said. Its a double-layer of comfort that we can oer our dogs to help them get through those scary times,Ž he said of the music that can be streamed on popular platforms. Play calming music that is found on YouTube speci“cally for dogs at a volume to mue the sharp sounds from outside,Ž he said. Try a calming vest specifically for a dog. They apply deep pressure to the body to calm the nervous system.Ž Signs of anxiety in canines include pacing, drooling, ducking its head down and tucking in its tail, which also represent “ght or ”ight behaviors. Joyce said if a dog evacuates to a crate, a tub, a closet or on the pet owners lap, these are signs of the pet creating a safety zone, Joyce said. Dog owners can enhance the safety zone by adding pill ows, blankets or (the owners) clothing to a crate or closet to mue sound. If the dog retreats to a tub, the owner can hang longer clothes or towels from shower curtains for the same eect. If available, you can try using a dog appeasement pheromone, by Adaptil, and spray it on blankets or bedding which must dry before the dog can get on it to naturally relax the dog,Ž he said. According to the American Kennel Club, the week of July 4 is when pets run away and are turned in to local animal shelters. In the instance that your pup does get lost, post on all local lost and found social media groups, Paw Boost, and NextDoor,Ž Joyce said. Be sure to keep an eye on surrounding county shelters websites for found dogs and dont skip out on physically visiting the shelter to do a walk-through.Ž Pet owners should check their dogs microchip for up to date information, have the owners name and number on the dogs tag, and take new photos of all pets (just in case they become lost). Silvia McCoy, Rescue Garage in North Port founder, said pet owners can use a blanket to swaddle a shaking dog or turn the television moderately loudŽ but not blasting, to help with an anxious dog. Watching TV, acting normally around the dogs and not overly concerned behavior will help so they dont think anything is wrong,Ž McCoy said. Take the dog out to go potty and feed and water them early so they dont have to go out when its dark and theres “reworks.Ž McCoy says if a dog must go out, use a double leash so they cant break free to ”ee as easily. Dont leave any dog alone in a fenced yard as you dont know if this is the year they will decide to be sensitive to loud noises,Ž she said. Email: elaine.allen@yoursun. comPETSFROM PAGE 1A they just didnt stop,Ž said Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association. They were “ring o “reworks all of 2020. It shocked the industry, to be quite honest with you.Ž FIREWORKS ARE DANGEROUS Despite widespread education eorts, thousands of Americans are badly injured by “reworks each year, and this year is no exception. Late Saturday night, “re“ghters and medics were called to Lexington Township, a suburb of Kansas City, Kansas, for reports of a shed on “re and arrived to “nd “reworks actively exploding from the burning shed and several people lying injured on the ground. Fire“ghters, medics and local police dragged the victims from the area to safety, and four people were taken to hospitals „ two with serious injuries, Northwest Consolidated Fire District Chief Todd Maxton said in a statement. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that in 2022, 10,200 people were treated at emergency rooms and 11 deaths were blamed on “reworks. About one-third of the injuries were to the head, face, ears or eyes. Finger, hand and leg injuries are common, too. I have seen people who have blown o “ngers,Ž said Dr. Tiany Osborn, an emergency room physician at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. Ive seen people who have lost eyes. Ive seen people who have signi“cant facial injuries.Ž Children under 15 make up nearly one-third of those injured by “reworks. Sparklers often are blamed for burns to children under age 5. Osborn suggested giving small children glow sticks or colorful streamers instead. For those planning to shoot o “reworks, Heckman urged “nding a ”at, hard, level surface away from structures and other things that could catch “re. The person responsible for the “reworks should avoid alcohol. Children should never ignite them. Osborn encouraged having a bucket or hose nearby in case of “re or explosion. Shoot o one at a time and walk away quickly after igniting, she said, and never relight or handle a malfunctioned “rework.

Buckle up, wishful traveler, for a very dierent journey before you step anywhere near an airport. A much-feared backup of U.S passport applications has smashed into a wall of government bureaucracy as worldwide travel rebounds toward record pre-pandemic levels „ with too few humans to handle the load. The result, say aspiring travelers in the U.S. and around the world, is a maddening pre-travel purgatory de“ned, at best, by costly uncertainty. With family dreams and big money on the line, passport seekers describe a slow-motion agony of waiting, worrying, holding the line, refreshing the screen, complaining to Congress, paying extra fees and following incorrect directions. Some applicants are buying additional plane tickets to snag in-process passports where they sit „ in other cities „ in time to make the ”ights they booked in the “rst place. So grim is the outlook that U.S. ocials arent even denying the problem or predicting when it will ease. Theyre blaming the epic wait times on lingering pandemic -related stang shortages and a pause of online processing this year. Thats left the passport agency ”ooded with a record-busting 500,000 applications a week. The deluge is on-track to top last years 22 million passports issued, the State Department says. Stories from applicants and interviews by The Associated Press depict a system of crisis management, in which the agencies are prioritizing urgent cases such as applicants traveling for reasons of life or deathŽ and those whose travel is only a few days o. For everyone else, the options are few and expensive. So, 2023 traveler, if you still need a valid U.S. passport, prepare for an unplanned excursion into the nightmare zone. THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS A CULPRIT: COVID By March, concerned travelers began asking for answers and then demanding help, including from their representatives in the House and Senate, who widely reported at hearings this year that they were receiving more complaints from constituents on passport delays than any other issue. The U.S. secretary of state had an answer, of a sort. With COVID, the bottom basically dropped out of the system,Ž Antony Blinken told a House subcommittee March 23. When demand for travel all but disappeared during the pandemic, he said, the government let contractors go and reassigned sta that had been dedicated to handling passports. Around the same time, the government also halted an online renewal system to make sure that we can “ne tune it and improve it,Ž Blinken said. He said the department is hiring agents as quickly as possible, opening more appointments and trying to address the crisis in other ways. Passport applicants lit up social media groups, toll-free numbers and lawmakers phone lines with questions, appeals for advice and cries for help. Facebook and WhatsApp groups bristled with reports of bewilderment and fury. Reddit published eye-watering diaries, some more than 1,000 words long, of application dates, deposits submitted, contacts made, time on hold, money spent and appeals for advice. It was 1952 when a law required, for the “rst time, passports for every U.S. traveler abroad, even in peacetime. Now, passports are processed at centers around the country and printed at secure facilities in Washington, D.C. and Mississippi, according to the Government Printing Oce. But the number of Americans holding valid U.S. passports has grown at roughly 10% faster than the population over the past three decades, according to Jay Zagorsky, an economist at Boston Universitys Questrom School of Business. After passport delays derailed his own plans to travel to London earlier this year, Zagorsky found that the number of U.S. passports per American has soared from about three per 100 people in 1989 to nearly 46 per 100 people in 2022. Americans, it turns out, are on the move. FOR AMERICANS AND OTHERS ABROAD, ITS NO PICNIC EITHER At U.S. consulates overseas, the quest for U.S. visas and passports isnt much brighter. On a day in June, people in New Delhi could expect to wait 451 days for a visa interview, according to the website. Those in Sao Paulo could plan on waiting more than 600 days. Aspiring travelers in Mexico City were waiting about 750 days; in Bogota, Colombia, it was 801 days. In Israel, the need is especially acute. More than 200,000 people with citizenship in both countries live in Israel. Its one appointment per person, even for newborns, who must have both parents involved in the process, before traveling to the United States. FRUSTRATING TALES EMERGE FROM THE TRENCHES Back in the U.S., Marni Larsen of Holladay, Utah, stood in line in Los Angeles, California, on June 14, in hopes of snagging her sons passport. That way, she hoped, the pair could meet the rest of their family, who had already left as scheduled for Europe, for a long-planned vacation. Shed applied for her sons passport two months earlier and spent weeks checking for updates online or through a frustrating call system. As the mid-June vacation loomed, Larsen reached out to Sen. Mitt Romney s oce, where one of four people he says is assigned full-time to passport issues were able to track down the document in New Orleans. It was supposed to be shipped to Los Angeles, where she got an appointment to retrieve it. That meant Larsen had to buy new tickets for herself and her son to Los Angeles and reroute their trip from there to Rome. All on a bet that her sons passport was indeed shipped as promised. We are just waiting in this massive line of tons of people,Ž Larsen said. Its just been a nightmare.Ž They succeeded. But not everyone has been so lucky.Wait for US passports snarls summer plans AP FILE PHOTOSeeking a valid U.S. passport for that 2023 trip?

ENCINATAMPA BAY TIMESTAMPA „ It hasnt been that long since the Lightning won back-to-back Stanley Cups, but in todays NHL personnel changes quickly. A look at the teams retooled forward lines reveals just four players (Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point and Anthony Cirelli) who hoisted the Cup at Amalie Arena to end the 2021 postseason. The forced facelift continued this weekend. The Lightning signed Conor Sheary, Luke Glendening and Josh Archibald „ veteran players who have combined for 1,500 games of NHL experience. Each brings aspects of the game that the Lightning need in their forward group. The team also signed depth defenseman Calvin de Haan and backup goaltender Jonas Johannson. The Lightning said goodbye to Alex Killorn after 11 years, as the veteran power forward received a $25 million, fouryear deal from Anaheim. They traded Pat Maroon, who was entering the “nal year of his contract, for a seventh-round pick next season. They also dealt Ross Colton, another member of the 2021 Cup team, and let their two-year pacts with Corey Perry and PierreEdouard Bellemare run their course. In restocking their forward lines, the Lightning had to seek value. Their three veteran forward signings took up just $3.6 million of cap space for next years payroll. Killorns cap hit with Anaheim is $6.25 million alone. But this weekends acquisitions also served as a declaration that though the Lightning exited early from last seasons playos, losing to Toronto in the “rst round, their reputation as a championship contender among free agents hasnt taken a hit. I think anytime a team goes to three straight “nals and still has a lot of pieces there, the opportunity is always there,Ž said Glendening, who spent his “rst eight seasons in Detroit as a division rival. I think they have such great players here, such a great culture, its something that I couldnt pass up on and just really wanted to be a part of.ŽLightnings reputation remains strong in free agency TAMPA BAY TIMES/DIRK SHADDIn signing Conor Sheary, Luke Glendening and Josh Archibald, general manager Julien BriseBois, pictured, acquired three players he expects to bring a checking game that will make the Lightning tougher to play against. COLLEGE FOOTBALL TENNIS By MATT BAKERTAMPA BAY TIMESThe Florida Gators took a signi“cant step toward renovating The Swamp on Monday when they announced theyre ready to begin selecting an architect to lead the $400 million project. The news comes after “ve-plus years of discussions and studies about updating the 93-year-old building, formally named Ben Hill Grin Stadium. The Gators have even met with vendors who modernized similarly historic venues like Fenway Park and Lambeau Field to see how a building can be upgraded without losing its nostalgic charm. It is now time to take that information and engage with an architect who can present renovation, construction and phasing options for The Swamp,Ž athletic director Scott Stricklin said in UFs announcement. UF will select that architect in a formal process that also includes the schools campus planning, design and construction oce. From there, the Gators will start to come up with answers to some of the biggest unknowns, such as: € Finances. The Gators said “nancial estimates begin at approximately $400 million.Ž The Gators plan to use an aggressive fundraising campaign to anchor the funding eorts.Ž Its expected to be the largest facility project in program history. € Capacity. The Swamps ocial capacity is 88,548, which makes it one of the dozen largest college football stadiums in the country. It wouldnt be a surprise to see that “gure drop; major programs like Alabama and Florida State have eliminated some seating during renovations to their stadiums, opting for quality over quantity. € Timeline. Its unclear when the renovations will start or “nish. One of the only things Stricklin has said on timing is that the work has taken a lot of time and demanding a lot of time right now.Ž By HOWARD FENDRICHAP TENNIS WRITERWIMBLEDON, England „ As Venus Williams entered Centre Court for her 24th Wimbledon appearance at age 43, greeted by a standing ovation, she held a green exercise band overhead with both hands and stretched it while striding to her sideline seat. Once her “rst-round match against Elina Svitolina began, Williams played like a throwback version of herself. Those big serves. Those crisp strokes. Quickly, she was a point from a 3-0 lead on Monday. And then, moving forward to attempt a volley, Williams slipped on the green grass. Her right foot gave way. She collapsed to the ground. She shrieked and clutched at her right knee, which already was covered by a beige sleeve. Williams twice was treated by a trainer „ including getting that knee taped up during a medical timeout after the “rst set „ and although the American kept playing, she could not manage to overcome 2019 Wimbledon semi“nalist Svitolina in a 6-4, 6-3 defeat. Im not sure what Ive done. Im going to have to investigate it tomorrow. Its late today. But it was quite painful,Ž Williams said. Grass is inherently going to be slippery; youre going to fall at some point. It was just bad luck for me. I started the match perfectly. I was literally killing it. And then I got killed by the grass.Ž Williams, a former No. 1 now ranked outside the Top 500 after a series of injuries that limited her to 22 matches since the start of 2021, was the oldest player in this years “eld and the fourth-oldest to compete in the main draw at Wimbledon. Right now, Im kind of in shock. I cant believe this happened. Its bizarre. Im still processing it at the moment,Ž Williams said at her news conference, more than an hour after the match ended. What makes this one hard to process is that Ive had so many injuries. ... This is not what I want for myself.Ž Svitolina was only 2 when Williams made her Wimbledon debut in 1997 and just 5 when Williams won the event for the “rst time in 2000. Its always a pleasure to play against Venus,Ž Svitolina said, calling her opponent a big legend.Ž MLB By NOAH TRISTERAP BASEBALL WRITERIn the last few days before the All-Star break, the San Diego Padres will host the New York Mets this week. Its safe to say both teams are ready to put the “rst half behind them. The Padres and Mets are two of baseballs biggest disappointments so far, languishing below .500 despite high-priced, star-laden rosters. The fact that both teams are currently 38-46 feels like an appropriate symmetry. San Diegos outlook appears a bit rosier than New Yorks. The Padres actually have a run dierential of plus-23. Theyve been done in by a 5-15 record in one-run games and a 0-7 mark in extra innings. If the close games turn around for them, the Padres certainly could make a run, and unlike the Mets, their star closer (Josh Hader) is healthy. But San Diego has lost seven of its last eight games, during a stretch of the schedule that included Washington, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. A contending team shouldnt be struggling so much against that trio. The Mets, on the other hand, took two of three from San Francisco this past weekend, but that was their only series victory of the past nine. New Yorks bullpen has been an issue after Edwin Diaz was lost before the season to a knee injury, and owner Steve Cohen acknowledged his team could be a seller at the trade deadline if things dont improve soon. BRIGHT SPOT In a horrendous season for the Oakland Athletics, they do have the major league leader in stolen bases in Esteury Ruiz. With 42, hes already surpassed last years leader „ Baltimores Jorge Mateo had 35. Ruiz has 84 hits and 14 walks this season, so with 50 steal attempts, hes trying to steal roughly half the time he reaches base. Brent Rooker is Oaklands representative at the All-Star game, but it would have been interesting to see Ruiz playing for the American League as a late-inning pinch-running option.Padres, Mets running out of time to turn things around Gators take a key step in $400M stadium renovationVenus Williams falls in her first match at Wimbledon AP PHOTO/KIN CHEUNGOcials assist after Venus Williams slipped during Mondays match against Elina Svitolina at Wimbledon.SEE LIGHTNING , 8A SEE VENUS , 10A SEE TIME , 10A SEE GATORS , 10A

TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS „ Signed C Dylan Gambrell to a one-year contract.The Lightning were able to get bargains on the three players in part because the players believe they can win in Tampa Bay. No, the Lightning might not be as scary as they were a few seasons ago, and the NHL is getting more of the parity it seeks with the salary cap, but Tampa remains a destination for veteran free agents. Thats something we take great pride in, and we worked a long time to establish that reputation,Ž general manager Julien BriseBois said. And now were working really hard to maintain it. Having that strong core of star players makes us an appealing destination. Thats “rst and foremost because good players want to win. So, if we want to attract good players, we need to be able to sell them on the possibility of us competing for, chasing and, ultimately, hopefully winning championships. Thats the “rst appeal. And then I think they know that we have really strong coaches, we treat our players really well, Tampa has tremendous fans, our game experience is elite within our league (and) the quality of life here for the players and their families in the Tampa Bay area is I would say second to none. So, I think weve established that were an appealing destination.Ž Filling in the puzzle pieces is the easy part, BriseBois said. As long as he has elite players like Andrei Vasilevskiy, Kucherov, Point, Stamkos and Victor Hedman; and a talented young core of Cirelli, Brandon Hagel, Mikhail Sergachev, Erik Cernak and Nick Paul; he can build around that group, even with the Lightning up against the salary cap. Ive played with people that have played there, and theyve all had great things to say about the organization,Ž Archibald said. And when you look at some of the players, they are some of the best in the league. So, just to have an opportunity to be in a locker room with some of those guys, really looking forward to it. And I think just being in the Sunshine State, you get some nice warm weather during the winter. The family will love that. The kids will love that.Ž All three new forwards are veterans who know what its like to play in Tampa as an opponent, and they have heard about the Lightnings reputation for nurturing a family feeling in their room. They lose some of that camaraderie with Killorn, Maroon and Perry gone, but the reputation still holds. I think the main thing is just, you know how well the organization takes care of you and your family,Ž Archibald said. And thats a big part for me. Ive got three kids, all under 5 right now. So just to have an organization that not only cares about you, but your family.Ž Said Sheary, who signed a three-year deal: I wanted a little bit of stability. Ive got a family now, and I dont want to keep moving around.Ž Outside of the dressing room, the players noted that Amalie Arenas atmosphere is one of the best in the league. Plus, spending the winter among palm trees and sunshine has its selling points. It all helps BriseBois “ll holes. And on Saturday, he acquired three players he expects to bring a checking game that will make the Lightning tougher to play against.LIGHTNINGFROM PAGE 7A NHL By STEPHEN WHYNO and JOHN WAWROWAP HOCKEY WRITERSBarry Trotz was tired after a busy week of putting his stamp on the Nashville Predators by remaking the roster through some important comings and goings. Its a good kind of tired. On what was technically his “rst day on the job as general manager, Trotz signed top two-way center and 2019 playo MVP Ryan OReilly, rugged Stanley Cup-winning defenseman Luke Schenn and winger Gustav Nyquist who has something to prove. Those moves, even after trading Ryan Johansen and buying out Matt Duchene earlier in the week, made Nashville one of the big winners in NHL free agency. I want to change a little bit of the culture,Ž said Trotz, who coached the Predators for 15 years from their inception in 1998-2014. I was looking for serial winners. I wanted to allow for a path for our young guys to develop and be surrounded by those those type of people.Ž Trotz and his team were far from the only ones who did well.WINNERSTOP GOALIES Two-time All-Star Tristan Jarry got a “ve-year deal worth almost $27 million to stay with the very active Pittsburgh Penguins. Joonas Korpisalo signed a $20 million, “ve-year contract with Ottawa. The deal doesnt go into eect until the 2024-25 season, but Ilya Sorokin received $66 million over the following eight years to continue backstopping the New York Islanders. Others „ like Carolinas Antti Raanta, two-time Cup-winner Jonathan Quick and vet James Reimer „ got oneyear contracts at more bargain prices. RYAN GRAVES No player has made more total money in unrestricted free agency so far than Graves, a defensive defenseman who signed for $27 million over six years with Pittsburgh. Graves will make a average of $4.5 million a season through 2028-29. He brings a lot of size to the group hes in, but more importantly, hes been very eective playing against very, very tough competition in New Jersey and going back to Colorado,Ž Penguins GM Kyle Dubas said. We feel thatll help.Ž Additional shoutout to Dmitry Orlov for getting the highest cap hit at $7.75 million for the next two seasons with Carolina. The moneys nice, but Orlov traded away the stability of a lengthy contract he might have gotten elsewhere.LOSERSLONGTERM CONTRACTS Just seven of the contracts handed out this weekend to unrestricted free agents were for “ve years or more. Even Orlov said it was a tough time to be a player interested in a long-term commitment. Oneand two-year deals „ many with performance-based incentive bonuses „ were far more popular, given the limited money available around the league and the expectation the salary cap is going up signi“cantly next summer. WESTERN CANADA Other than the Edmonton Oilers, who are in win-now mode, its a rough time for the Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets and Vancouver Canucks. The Flames didnt do much to add, the Jets still seem on track to trade goalie Connor Hellebuyck and perhaps center Mark Scheifele and the Canucks are trying to retool on the ”y after buying out Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who has since joined Florida. TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS After winning a playo series for the “rst time since 2004, the Leafs face an incredibly uncertain future. They already lost OReilly, Schenn, forward Noel Acciari, defenseman Erik Gustafsson after acquiring them prior to the trade deadline and forward Michael Bunting. They got tougher by signing enforcer Ryan Reaves to a three-year deal worth just over $4 million, added motivated defenseman John Klingberg for next season and nabbed winger Tyler Bertuzzi, too. Max Domi could also help Toronto. But now the real work begins to decide what to do with the Core Four.Ž Auston Matthews and William Nylander could become free agents next summer „ and Mitch Marner and captain John Tavares in 2025 „ so the answer of whether Toronto will be better is still to be determined.Predators are winners so far in free agency AP FILE PHOTORyan OReilly plays against the Tampa Bay Lightning during an April 24 game. NBA By TIM REYNOLDSAP BASKETBALL WRITERThe Minnesota Timberwolves have made it clear: Theyre going to build around Anthony Edwards. The Timberwolves and Edwards agreed on a max extension on Monday „ “ve years, $207 million, with a chance of the deal reaching $260 million, agent Bill Duy con“rmed to The Associated Press. Edwards new contract will begin in the 2024-25 season. He becomes the fourth player to get the maximum rookie-scale extension so far this summer, joining Indianas Tyrese Haliburton, Charlottes LaMelo Ball and Memphis Desmond Bane. His deal would reach the supermax level if he makes an All-NBA team. Edwards was an All-Star for the “rst time this past season, and he has gotten better in each of his “rst three years with the Timberwolves. His scoring, rebound, assist, steal and shooting numbers have increased each season. Edwards averaged 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.6 steals on 46% shooting this past season „ while shooting 37% from 3-point range. Only nine players averaged as many points, rebounds and assists per game as Edwards. Of the nine, he was the youngest at 21. Add the steals per game to that list, and Edwards became the youngest player to have those averages in each of those categories since LeBron James in 2005-06. The only question regarding Edwards and the extension was how quickly it would happen. By league rule, Minnesota had to wait until July 1 „ the deals for Bane and Haliburton, for example, came shortly after midnight EDT in the wee hours of Saturday. Another couple of days didnt seem to hurt the Wolves. Edwards was the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft and turns 22 next month „ when hes scheduled to be part of the USA Basketball roster thatll play in the FIBA World Cup. He took a signi“cant step this past season toward becoming Minnesotas true go-to player while two-time All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns missed 52 games with a calf strain.Edwards, Timberwolves agree on max extension CYCLINGBAYONNE, France (AP) „ Belgian cyclist Jasper Philipsen won the third stage of the Tour de France in a bunched sprint on Monday, while Adam Yates of Britain kept the race leaders yellow jersey. The 25-year-old Philipsen, who won two stages in last years race, was expertly led to the front by his Alpecin… Deceuninck teammate Mathieu van der Poel and comfor tably held o German rider Phil Bauhaus and Australian Caleb Ewan as they dashed to the line. It was a tense “nal, but this is the Tour de France: there are no presents, everybody goes all-in,Ž Philipsen said. Its amazing to have Mathieu as a lead-out man. If he had the space to go, for sure he has the speed to “ght for the win.Ž Danish sprinter Fabio Jakobsen was fourth ahead of Belgian Wout van Aert, who failed to overtake Philipsen on the right in the last 50 meters and backed o near a crash barrier. They all clocked 4 hours, 43 minutes, 15 seconds on the 193-kilometer (120mile) route from Amorebieta-Etxano in Spains Basque country to Bayonne in France. The main contenders for the overall win arrived safely. Yates maintained his six-second lead over two-time Tour winner Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia and his twin brother Simon Yates in third. For us its been more about recovering as much as possible,Ž Yates said. Its hard to have the chance to do so in the Tour de France, so we try and grab every chance we get.Ž Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark stayed in sixth spot heading into Tuesdays fourth stage. Pogacar, who had surgery on his broken left wrist following a crash during the Liège…Bastogne…Liège classic, was relieved to avoid any danger. I tried to stay safe in the “nale, as it was a really fast “nish but the rest of the stage was calmer. So far, so good,Ž Pogacar said. We have two easier days from the GC (general classi“cation) perspective, as I hope tomorrows stage is like todays, and then we will hit the Pyrenees.Ž Mondays trek rolled serenely past the Zenaruzza monastery and through hilly countryside under reposing blue skies, before crossing over into France. American Neilson Powless and French veteran Laurent Pichon set o early on a breakaway, but others did not follow and took it rather easy in terms of speed. Pogacar punctured his rear tire, but smiled as he easily made his way back to the peloton.Philipsen wins third stage, Yates keeps overall lead

PAGE 10A TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comNo. 1-ranked Iga Swiatek, who won her opening match 6-1, 6-3 against Zhu Lin, used that same term „ legendŽ „ to describe Williams. I admire (how) she still “nds motivation to play. I think its amazing. She really must love the game, like truly,Ž said Swiatek, who has won four major titles but is yet to get past the fourth round at the All England Club. Something of a surprise arrived at No. 1 Court just before darkness arrived Monday, when Coco Gau „ who burst onto the scene at age 15 by beating Williams in the opening round at Wimbledon „ was eliminated by So“a Kenin 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 in a highlight-reel matchup between two Americans. While Kenin did win the 2020 Australian Open, even knocking o Gau along the way, she had exited in the “rst round at each of her past three majors, is ranked just 128th and needed to go through qualifying rounds to get into the main draw at Wimbledon. Gau, meanwhile, was seeded No. 7 and established herself as a consistent Week 2 presence at Slams, including a run to the French Open “nal last year. Williams other four titles at the All England Club arrived in 2001, 2005, 2007 and 2008, too, along with a pair of U.S. Open trophies in singles „ plus 14 in womens doubles with her younger sister, Serena, who retired after last season. The older Williams also was the runner-up at Wimbledon four times, most recently during a resurgent 2017, a season in which she reached a total of two “nals and another semi“nal at majors. Since then? Williams „ who announced her diagnosis with Sjögrens syndrome, an energy-sapping auto-immune disease that can cause joint pain, in 2011 „ has lost in the “rst round at 10 of her most recent 15 Grand Slam events. There were some vintage moments on Monday. Serves at up to 117 mph. The big cuts on forehands and two-handed backhands that either produced clean winners or led to forced errors by Svitolina. There also were 33 unforced errors, 18 more than Svitolina. Williams total in that category included eight double-faults. The tumble that brought a hush over the stadium came after merely 12 minutes of play and, as she stayed down on the grass, getting chalk on her left leg, it appeared as if she might need to stop. The chair umpire rushed over to check on Williams. So did Svitolina, carrying a white towel to tuck under Williams head. Im a competitor. Thats what I do for a living. I did what I could today,Ž Williams said later. Ive played through a lot of matches and won a lot of matches injured. Its kind of a specialty of mine. I just never “gured it out today.Ž Still, the crowd certainly was appreciative of the persistence and eort Williams displayed on Monday, rising to salute her and shower her with applause when she left the court with a quick wave and a slight hitch in her step. During the match, there were too many cries of Go, Venus!Ž or You can do it!Ž to count. Truth is, both players are sympathetic “gures, and Svitolina, who is 28, heard her own support from the stands. She is from Ukraine „ which has been under attack from Russia for nearly 1 1/2 years „ and returned to the tour in April after giving birth in October to the “rst child for her and her husband, tennis player Gael Mon“ls. Svitolina wound up with more aces than Williams, 6-2, and nearly twice as many total winners, 28-16. Grass takes a lot out of the legs and you have to bend your legs to get to all these shots,Ž said Svitolina, who used to be ranked as high as No. 3 but is now No. 76 after the time o and, like Williams, received a wild-card invitation from the All England Club. Venus plays really quick and I had to really work hard for todays win.ŽVENUSFROM PAGE 7A TENNIS By HOWARD FENDRICHAP TENNIS WRITERWIMBLEDON, England „ When Victoria Azarenka walked into Court 15 on Monday morning for her “rst Wimbledon match in two years, she was greeted by polite clapping. When the two-time Grand Slam champion from Belarus “nished o a three-set victory more than 2 1/2 hours later, Azarenka shook her racket with her right hand and pumped her left “st, then oered a wave to the spectators who were applauding warmly. Unlike her opponent, Yuan Yue, whose nationality was noted on the scoreboard alongside her name, Azarenka had no country listed there. Thats because players from Russia and Belarus are back competing at Wimbledon a year after they were barred by the All England Club because of the invasion of Ukraine „ and, in a sort of half-measure adopted by some other sports, are deemed neutralŽ athletes who ocially do not represent any nation. The war that began in February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine with help from Belarus continues, but Wimbledons organizers announced in March they would lift their ban „ about which Azarenka said in an interview that, in the big picture, Im not sure that it made any dierence.Ž While other players have ”ags to the left of their names on the oversized, manually-operated brackets on the outside wall of Centre Court, the Russians and Belarusians do not. Nor are the countries noted on ocial schedules or results issued by the All England Club, nor as part of graphics on TV broadcasts of matches. The Club did not allow Wimbledon to be aired on television in Russia or Belarus. Azarenka and all other entrants from those two countries needed to „ and did „ sign a declaration agreeing to three stipulations: They wouldnt be representing Russia or Belarus; they wouldnt accept funding from those governments or companies operated by them; they wouldnt express support for the invasion of Ukraine or the leaders of Russia or Belarus. It was a dicult decision, as we said when we made it earlier in the year,Ž All England Club CEO Sally Bolton said Monday about the reversal in policy. We took a lot of time to think carefully about the decision we made and the impact that would have in the same way as we did last year. We think its the right decision for The Championships this year.Ž Liudmila Samsonova, a Russian who was seeded 15th in the womens “eld, said after being eliminated by Ana Bogdan of Romania 7-6 (1), 7-6 (4) on Monday: Last year was tough to accept. But this year, when they said that we were able to play, it was amazing.Ž If there were questions about how Russians and Belarusians might be received upon their return, the earliest indications on Day 1 were that there was nothing out of the ordinary. No protests. No boos. No shouts in support of Ukraine „ or against the returning players. (Russian and Belarusian ”ags were not allowed to be brought into the tournament grounds.) Just like I never left, honestly. It feels good to be playing here,Ž Azarenka said after beating Yuan 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. For me, personally, I experienced very good treatment. ... Today, to hear people say, Lets go, Vika! and cheering me on was also why I play, to play in front of the crowd, to put on a good show.Ž Russians who won Monday included No. 7 seed Andrey Rublev and unseeded Aslan Karatsev among the men, and No. 12 Veronika Kudermetova among the women. Like Azarenka, they heard standard amounts of backing from folks in the stands, both during the matches and at their conclusions. The crowd was very good for me. They (showed) support,Ž Kudermetova said.Russians, Belarusians back as war in continues AUTO RACING By JAY COHENAP SPORTS WRITERCHICAGO „ Moments after NASCARs daring adventure was over „ a soggy day in downtown Chicago rescued by a compelling Cup Series race „ they were all thinking big. Shane van Gisbergen pondered a move from Australias Supercars to a regular NASCAR ride. Justin Marks contemplated the promising future of Project 91. Steve ODonnell talked about holding a NASCAR event on another continent. I think were all con“dent at NASCAR that we could take the Cup Series anywhere we want,Ž said ODonnell, who became the chief operating ocer of NASCAR in March 2022. ODonnell and Ben Kennedy, the 31-year-old great-grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France and a key engine behind the sports evolving schedule, were buoyed by Sundays exciting “nish to the Cup Series “rst street race in its 75th season. After hours of rain ”ooded the 12-turn, 2.2-mile course and scuttled the end of the X“nity stop, it cleared up in time to get the Cup Series on the tricky track, albeit for a race cut short by the looming darkness. The wet conditions added another element to an already challenging course that included seven 90-degree turns, and transitions from concrete to asphalt and back. But the drivers “gured it out on the ”y, and van Gisbergen powered to the front in the “nal laps to secure the win. And just like that, NASCARs “rst try at a downtown Chicago race won over at least some of the skeptics that had wondered aloud about its feasibility ever since it was announced a year ago. Truthfully, for a street course, I think it raced better than I thought it would,Ž said Chase Briscoe, who “nished 20th. There are de“nitely parts that can be improved like widening the track and other certain things. But, all things considered, it surprised me compared to what I thought it was going to be.Ž NASCAR has a three-year agreement with the city of Chicago, and Kennedy said it is planning to take a comprehensive look at its “rst event under the deal. Were going to have a lot of takeaways from this weekend, which I think will be really good,Ž he said, but from what Ive seen so far, certainly from the fans and from a lot of folks in the industry, has been positive.Ž The 34-year-old van Gisbergen, a New Zealand native, became the “rst driver to win his Cup Series debut since Johnny Rutherford in the second qualifying race at Daytona in 1963. The threetime Supercars champion also became the sixth driver born outside the United States to win a Cup Series race. Van Gisbergens seemingly smooth transition to NASCAR was helped by the similarity of its Next Gen cars to what he is used to back home. He also has extensive experience in street races, but he showed o his impressive skills as he chased down Justin Haley for the victory. As a driver you dont want other forms of motorsport drivers to come in and beat you at your own game ... but unfortunately hes just really good,Ž said Haley, who “nished second. Van Gisbergen raved about the racing, and left open the possibility of a NASCAR return. Im committed next year to Supercars,Ž he said. I still love Supercars and hope it goes well there. But in 25, who knows.Ž Van Gisbergen drove the No. 91 Chevrolet in Chicago as part of Trackhouse Racings Project 91. It was the third start for the program „ designed to give international drivers a shot at NASCAR „ after former Formula One world champion Kimi Räikkönen “nished 27th at Circuit of the Americas in March. Marks, who owns Trackhouse, said Chicago was the last date on the calendar for Project 91. But he sounded as if it was only the beginning. It was a big weekend because we had a company come in that said, we want to sponsor Project 91. You go get the driver. It wasnt attached to a driver,Ž Marks said. Enhance Health came in and said, we love this concept and we want to sponsor it. Thats a big moment for our company, is that actually a partner looked at it and said, we believe in this Project 91 thing siloed from everything else. We really love it and we want to be a part of it.ŽNASCAR thinking big after first street race AP PHOTO/MORRY GASHShane Van Gisbergen celebrates after winning Sundays race in Chicago. TRIVIA TIME The As have had one player since Rickey Henderson lead the American League in steals, and that player tied for the title in 2011 with 49. Who was it? RISING The Philadelphia Phillies “nished the week on a sour note by losing two of three to Washington „ they sandwiched a pair of onerun losses around a 19-4 victory. But before that, Philadelphia swept a three-game series at Wrigley Field against the Cubs. The Phillies have recovered from their slow start, and after winning 19 of their last 26 games, theyre just 1 1/2 games out of the “nal wild card in the National League. And after last year, they know whats possible if they can just sneak into the postseason. FALLING The Los Angeles Angels split four games against the Chicago White Sox before dropping two of three to Arizona. So they had a losing record on a homestand in which Shohei Ohtani homered six times in seven games and struck out 10 in his only start. The Angels have dropped eight of 12 overall. LINE OF THE WEEK Domingo Germán of the New York Yankees pitched the 24th perfect game in major league history in an 11-0 win over Oakland on Wednesday night. He became the “rst pitcher from the Dominican Republic to complete a perfect game. Germán went to a three-ball count to just two hitters. COMEBACK OF THE WEEK The Pittsburgh Pirates trailed 4-0 in the fourth and 7-3 in the seventh before rallying to an 8-7 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. Pittsburgh scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth, winning it on Carlos Santanas two-run homer. Milwaukees win probability was 95.5% in the bottom of the seventh, according to Baseball Savant. TRIVIA ANSWER Coco Crisp, who “nished tied with Brett Gardner of the New York Yankees that year.TIMEFROM PAGE 7A We look forward to working along with an architect that will start providing options on what those answers could look like and allow us to continue to host college footballs biggest and best fans in in The Swamp,Ž Stricklin said in UFs announcement. One thing, however, is clear. This project will be massive. Its initial price tag is $60 million more than what USF has approved to build the Bulls proposed on-campus football stadium from nothing. The Gators expect the project to touch every phase of the fan experience,Ž including updated restrooms, gates and seats. At the recent SEC spring meetings, Stricklin said the stadium houses 180,000 square feet of oce space that cant be used by fans on game day. Perhaps the Gators will look at moving those workspaces to expand concourses or add gathering spaces. Thats one example among many potential options. Florida has made numerous updates to The Swamp over the years, including recent additions of Wi-Fi and ribbon boards. But those were merely a start to the next phase „ one that became more concrete Monday.GATORSFROM PAGE 7A TAMPA BAY TIMES/JEFFEREE WOOThe Swamp is showing its age, which is why the Florida Gators intend to spend $400 million to update it in the coming years.

TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM Local News By FRANK DIFIORESTAFF WRITERVENICE „ Those wanting to leave North Port are hopeful that a favorable ruling will convince city leaders to start the process for a referendum. Attorneys for both West Villagers for Responsible Government and the city of North Port appeared before Circuit Judge Danielle Brewer to present oral arguments on the de“nition of feasibilityŽ for contraction under Florida law. WV4RG previously “led a lawsuit against North Port in 2021, after the City Commission denied a petition to consider de-annexation for the Wellen Park area, also known as West Villages. In that case, Circuit Judge Hunter Carroll ruled the City Commission had not comported with state law that allows residents in qualifying areas to appeal for de-annexation from local jurisdictions. That ruling was later upheld by an appeals court. The ruling quashed the “rst denial and sent the issue back to the City Commission. In October, the commissioners again chose to deny the petition, this time moving to outline the exact reasons they felt the petition did not qualify as feasibleŽ per state statute. WV4RG subsequently “led for a new writ of certiorari in November, leading to the oral arguments that took place before Judge Brewer on Monday.

The contract will review the agreement with Icard Merrill Cullis Timm Furen Ginsburg, P.A., for legal services from attorney David Levin. Levin has been the councils attorney since 2005. The “rm is paid $165 an hour for his legal services, which include attending council meetings and advising the board. After Punta Gorda Council member Bill Dryburgh was elected in December, he suggested the city explore other options for its attorney. While the city pays $200,000 to Levins law “rm for his services, Dryburgh said his research showed the highest-paid city attorney in Florida receives $150,000. Some City Council members said changing the course wasnt appropriate, and others said having Levin „ who knows Punta Gorda and its laws and ordinances „ was a bargain. Punta Gorda Mayor Lynne Matthews said hiring an in-house attorney would come with expenses that include a salary, bene“ts, oce space, equipment and possibly a company car.

By FRANK DIFIORESTAFF WRITERPORT CHARLOTTE „ A missing mirror led deputies to arrest a man Sunday for allegedly leaving the scene of a crash after striking a bicyclist with his vehicle. Paul Lawrence Cowherd, 36, is being held without bond at Charlotte County Jail. Cowherd was also charged with driving under the in”uence, possession of a controlled substance and two counts of driving with a suspended or revoked license. Deputies with the Charlotte County Sheris Oce responded to a hit-and-run call at around 9:17 p.m. on Saturday, from the 2200 block of El Jobean Road (State Road 776). They found a 20-year-old man at the scene, with several lacerations all over his body „ including a small laceration on the back of his head. (The victims) bicycle was heavily damaged and appeared he got hit from behind by a vehicle,Ž the arrest adavit read. Deputies were able to speak with the bicyclist, who said he had no memory of being injured. He said he had been riding his bicycle eastbound in an El Jobean Road bike lane. The next thing he knew, he woke up with injuries, he said. According to the adavit, the bicycle was legally lit up at the time of the crash and was in the bicycle lane. Investigators found parts of a passenger-side mirror and a windshield wiper at the scene of the crash. The mirror was determined to have come from a black Dodge Journey. Just before midnight on July 1, deputies spotted a vehicle matching the investigators description „ including the missing passenger-side mirror „ elsewhere on El Jobean Road. The deputies conducted a trac stop on the vehicle and made contact with the driver, later identi“ed as Cowherd. According to the adavit, deputies noticed Cowherd had a visible injury on his right side, along with stitches above his eye. He told them that it was from a wreck that took place a couple of days ago.Ž Deputies alleged Cowherd appeared intoxicated, citing the smell of alcohol emitting from his breath,Ž bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. He had a BB gun and small bottles of whiskey in the car with him, ocers stated. When asked about the damage to his cars side mirror, Cowherd allegedly told deputies that the vehicle had been stolen earlier and was damaged after that point. He also claimed that his wife asked him not to report it stolen and that a friend helped him locate it. Cowherd denied being involved in a car crash that night. According to the adavit, Cowherd admitted to having one beer earlier that night and agreed to undergo “eld sobriety tests. He failed those tests and was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment, before being transported to Charlotte County Jail, according to reports. The adavit also alleges that a white, powdery substance found on a dollar bill in Cowherds car later tested positive for cocaine. Cowherd is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 14.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 PAGE 3B By DANIEL FINTONSUN CORRESPONDENTNORTH PORT „ In recent months, a brand new fence has appeared around the perimeter of North Ports Narramore soccer “elds, next to Glenallen Elementary School. According to city ocials, the city of North Port and the Sarasota County School Board entered into an agreement that allowed the city to build the Narramore Park soccer “elds on School Board property in 2004. Glenallen was the “rst school built in North Port, back in 1984. The city of North Port Parks & Recreation Department facilitates public access to the “elds outside of school hours and provides necessary care and maintenance of the “elds,Ž said Jason Bartolone, the North Ports communications manager. Over 18 years, the Narramore soccer “elds were open to the public, even during school hours. But, following new state school security laws enacted after school shootings in Parkland, Florida, Glenallen Elementary administrators in 2022 requested that a fence be built to around the “elds. In January of 2023, the North Port city commission approved building a new fence around the park, and it was constructed during the following weeks. Now, the soccer “elds will remain closed during school hours. However the fence will be unlocked for public use after each school day is “nished. The fence around Narramore soccer “elds will remain unlocked to the public throughout the summer break. Field reservations can be made through the North Port Parks and Recreation department at 941-429PARK(7275) or Parks@NorthPortFL. gov. Rate information is available at NorthPortFL.gov/AthleticFieldRentals.New fence around Narramore soccer fields explainedAgreement allowed city to build the fields on school property, then security became an issue The meeting is at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the Military Heritage Museum, 900 W. Marion Ave., Punta Gorda. A portion of the meeting is with the Community Redevelopment Agency which is a taxing district established to do redevelopment activities and includes the City Council members, as well as two additional members. In other city business: € The council will review a list of projects from the CRA, including an update on the construction of historic City Hall, which is slated to begin construction in November with a completion date of February 2025. The $12 million building will preserve the look of the 1926 Neo-classical City Hall structure. It includes seven seats in the new council chambers with room for 100 meeting attendees. The new 8,809-square-foot expansion will provide meeting space for smaller group settings such as advisory boards or joint meetings. € The council will also review the AC Freeman House rehabilitation project. € The council will be updated on the Laishley Park recreational area improvements which were delayed due to the inability of the City to negotiate a successful agreement with the current contractor,Ž according to city documents. A meeting was held to “nd a new contractor in late June to hash out the $291,424 project „ including engineering, design and install improvements of interactive fountain holding tank, pump, and “ltration systems and enhanced water features, playground equipment and surfacing. € Council members will also hear about the newly formed Bayfront Center Advisory Committee. They had two meetings so far to discuss current and future uses and to make recommendations for a potential new location of the center after the current one at Gilchrist Park was severely damaged in September by Hurricane Ian. The committees next meeting is Friday. € Other pending CRA projects include Florida Power and Light converting 71 high-pressure sodium lights to LightEmitting Diode, LED, including in historic neighborhoods. Four new lights/poles may be installed by the end of the month, according to the report. € Florida Department of Transportation is working on design plans for road resurfacing from Carmalita Street to the Peace River bridge. The Harborwalk West master plan includes decorative upgrades with city standard decorative street lights and signal poles in two locations. The city will have to pay for the decorative upgrades for trac signal poles, and a sidewalk north of Retta Esplanade to the existing Harborwalk connection point. The cost is estimated about $300,000.

As an example of new evidence that could have been oered at the November meeting, Lirot cited a letter from the Sarasota County Sheris Oce that rebuts assertions that emergency response times would be reduced if Wellen Park became part of unincorporated Sarasota County. Lirot also stated that the citys own experts focused more on hypothetical impacts of de-annexation, rather than if it was physically feasible. The latter, he emphasized, was the standard set by Florida Statute 171. Chief among those factors, he continued, was the geographic separation of Wellen Park from the rest of the city across the Myakka River. When you look at those maps, you see there is a huge body of water ƒ this is the Myakka River. There is nothing insigni“cant about this,Ž Lirot said. Ellie Neiburger, representing North Port, countered Carrolls order to quash did not order that the city come to a new conclusion „ it only found that the city failed to abide by statute previously, and provided a new opportunity to conduct the process. Over the course of previously meetings, she continued, the City Commission determined that separation was not feasible and explained in its own report. Despite the presence of the Myakka River, for instance, Neiburger cited the presence of bridges and the ability of the citys residents to regularly interact as evidence of physical cohesion. This area has been part of the city for decades,Ž Neiburger said. Experts contracted by the city estimated that there was a 45 percent continuityŽ between Wellen Park and other locations in North Port, according to Neiburger. She also accused WV4RGs experts of selectively using data to make the continuity rate look lower, particularly by focusing on the Myakka Forest area. At the end of oral arguments, Brewer said she would be reserving her decision until a later time.

PAGE 4B TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com OUR VIEWCelebrate freedom for allOUR POSITION: Today is a special day for freedom-loving Americans and a day when we should embrace the dream our Founding Fathers outlined in their Declaration of Independence.Its Independence Day. Thats a name for the Fourth of July we dont often use. But the title has signi“cance in that it alludes to the fact all Americans are independent „ not subject to a pre-ordained or majority-approved, cookie-cutter image or lifestyle. Americans are a complicated bunch. All of us have our own ideas what is best for our family, our nation and ourselves. Those ideas range wildly from conservative to liberal and all points in between. Politicians normally cater to a slice of potential voters they believe best serves their chances for oce. While doing that, they sometimes trample on the rights of Americans to make their own choices. Thats not to say many, maybe even most, seeking political oce do not believe what they preach. But seizing the opportunity to enhance their standing by stepping over socioeconomic-religious factions is not in the nations best interests in our opinion. We believe in an America where were all in the same boat. We might disagree, but not to the point of throwing someone overboard. An America that pulls together to make our nation strong, so it can stand up to the tyranny and threats we face, a nation that stands shoulder to shoulder regardless of color, religion or personal beliefs is a country that can thrive and survive threats to our independence. Lets pause for a moment today to think about what was going through the minds of the Founding Fathers when they came together for the Second Continental Congress and declared the 13 colonies were no longer subject to the British monarchy. They said we would be united and free. They passed the Lee Resolution on July 2, 1776 and adopted the Declaration of Independence two days later, July 4. Since that day, we have stumbled our way to become the greatest nation on Earth. And weve done so because our promise has been to make the U.S.A. a nation oering equality and freedom for all. It took longer than it should have to embrace that idea. It took the Civil Rights Act and a long look in the mirror for us to actually admit we didnt always oer equal rights. And even today there are movements that would „ out of fear, ignorance and bigotry „ limit or take away the rights and freedoms of others. We cant go backwards now. There can be no freedom for me, but not for thee.Ž And that is something to keep in mind as we go about celebrating the Fourth of July today. Whether you take in the Fishermens Village Independence Day Celebration with music and “reworks tonight; the Freedom Swim at 2:30 p.m. today, splashing o in Charlotte Harbor; the Freedom Festival at CoolToday Park, starting at 5 p.m.; “reworks shot from Middle Beach in Englewood by the Lemon Bay Sunrise Rotary; Venice “reworks at the South Jetty or the DeSoto Freedom Fest at the Turner Agri-Civic Center in Arcadia. If you go to any of these events, look around you. Smile at the person closest to you. Were all Americans. We are celebrating our independence and all the blood, sweat and tears that went into making our nation a place where we can all live together „ free and without fear. Happy Fourth of July! Some thoughts on what liberty should meanE:Waving the ”ag does not make you a patriot. Using quotes from famous people does not make your opinion right. Making excuses for problems does not mean youve solved them, you are just ignoring them. TV news or other media outlets do not make you informed, reading and research does that. Discussion and debate are imperative in a free democratic republic, and demonizing opposing ideas handicaps both and is poison to a free people. Fear and ignorance does not identify the problem because fear and ignorance is the problem. Armies do not insure freedom, actively involved informed citizens do that. Make America Great Again will not happen by worshiping a single hero, or supporting a single ideology, or by following extremist ideas. Our nation is not perfect, our history is not perfect, but the principles and processes created by imperfect people is a blueprint of government that is pretty close to perfect. Each generation must make it closer to being more perfect, but only by believing in the principles of freedom, equality, and justice will we continue to make this great experiment of governanceŽ more perfect. This 4th of July, remember the principles that unite us as a people, re-read the Declaration of Independence, and remind yourself why equality, justice and liberty means so much to you. P W. P Punta GordaThank you for the patriotic gestureE:I would like to thank the organization and patriotic persons that installed all of the American ”ags in Englewood east especially on Prospect Avenue. We really need this patriotic gesture. M G EnglewoodWhat happened to Kerry, our climate advocate?E:John Kerry was appointed Presidential Envoy for Climate. I was pleased. John Kerry can be articulate and resourceful. But what has he done? It has been three years. We know the subject of climate is certainly the most imperative issue of our time. The consequences of our damage to the Earth includes masses of people seeking refuge from ”ood and wind, “re and heat. It includes tumult which has endangered species. Have you heard from John Kerry? I look for his voice and hear nothing. Does our President not want him front and center? The country needs a spirited advocate for the climate. Where is John Kerry? L R Port CharlotteDierence between a Republican and a DemocratE:Somewhere in the mid 1950s, I remember reading in the Readers Digest monthly magazine „ to which my parents subscribed „ What is the dierence between a Republican and a Democrat?Ž You have a person in a lake 50 feet o-shore ”ailing around and yelling for help. A Democrat comes to the edge of the lake and throws a 100-foot rope out to the person. He lays the rope down and walks away pleased with how much he had done to help save that person. Shortly after that, along came a Republican. He notices the same person ”ailing around in the lake and yelling for help. He goes to the waters edge, takes a 25-foot rope and throws it out towards the person believing the 25-foot swim to the rope would be good for that person. Nearly 70 years later, things have not changed very much. B P Punta GordaWaiting for our new Ron to save us allE:As I celebrated my personal birthday along with our countrys birthday; thank you Supreme Court for the gifts you gave us. They kept our Communist in ChiefŽ Joe Biden in check. Not once but three times. Student Loan bailouts for deadbeats, unconstitutional.Ž Armative action, out! No more preferential treatment to unquali“ed individuals. The best and the brightestŽ need only apply, regardless of skin color, etc. Respecting the rights of businesses within religious communities to not be forced to provide services to the same sex community, if it goes against their fundamental beliefs, was upheld. America is one pot of money funded by taxes. This entitlement tsunamiŽ that is demanded by our younger generation and perpetrated by the Democratic party to pander for votes is unsustainable. I grew up with limited means, worked my way through college, and was honored to pay for both my kids college tuitions, leaving my daughter with only a minimal loan which I fully expect her to repay. As a former employer at a Fortune 50 food company, I had to bite my tongue for years as my performance appraisals were weighted by how many minorities I hired, regardless of availability or ability. We can do better. Jimmy Carter can go to his grave knowing he is only the second worst president in U.S. history. A man named Ron rode into the White House in 1980 and saved the day. Perhaps history will repeat itself and another Republican named Ron will save the day again in 2024. P DL Punta GordaLetter writer wrong about what indoctrination isE:A recent Daily Sun letter to the editor attempted to say that Floridas extreme right wing are the ones guilty of indoctrination.Ž Examples given by the writer included, We will decide what you can and cannot read.Ž I believe the writers reference was to Floridas regulations regarding the kinds of books that should be available to children in our school libraries. I contend a responsible school district as well as a loving, responsible parent should screen the types of books available to children entrusted to their care. Thats not indoctrination; its responsible adult supervision. Another one: We will instruct a woman what she can and cannot do with her own body.Ž Is it indoctrination to insist that we acknowledge the scienti“c fact that an abortion involves two individuals, not just one … and that one of them always dies? Its not only the womans body the right wing is concerned about, but the body of the living being being carried by the woman. A third example: We will determine what a persons gender is.Ž Thats hardly indoctrination … its an obvious medical/scienti“c fact known for centuries. And lastly, We will dictate what a person and their healthcare providers may and may not do with regard to genderarming medical care.Ž Government agencies like the FDA acting in their roles of protecting citizens from dangerous medications and medical procedures have rightfully dictated what a person and their healthcare providers may and may not do. Its called protecting/ promoting public health and safety, not indoctrination. N H Punta Gorda HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?The Daily Sun accepts letters on any topic. There are some guidelines letter writers must follow. They include keeping the letter to 250 words or less and attaching your full name, address and an e-mail address or phone number. Letter writers are limited to one letter every 30 days. If a letter is more than 250 words, we will ask the writer to trim the letter, or we may trim the letter to fit if the writer does not respond. Letters will also be edited for grammar and spelling. While we have a lenient rule as to the content of letters, the editorial board will reject a letter it deems potentially libelous, racist, hateful or a personal attack, or if the writer criticizes a business by name.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 PAGE 5BANOTHER VIEW: THE VIRGINIAN PILOT AND DAILY PRESS OPINIONSIn addition to being the revolutionaries who demanded independence from Great Britain and the visionaries who drafted the Constitution, many of Americas Founding Fathers were journalists. Some owned and published newspapers, others wrote for them, but all understood the value of a free press to a ”edgling democratic republic. Thats worth a bit of re”ection over the Independence Day holiday. While the First Amendment protects the rights of journalists from government interference, hostility to the media „ including threats, intimidation and acts of violence „ runs counter to the nations founding principles and if unchecked will make for a less-informed public and government run amok. Five years ago this week, a man walked into the newsroom of The Capital in Annapolis, Maryland, and opened “re, killing “ve members of the newspaper sta and injuring two others. It remains the deadliest act of violence against American journalists. The tragedy resonated locally. The Capital was owned by Tribune Publishing, which operated the Daily Press since 1986 and had purchased The Virginian-Pilot a month before the shooting. Several journalists at the papers had previously worked at The Capital and knew the victims well. While the gunman acted alone and was responsible for his actions, the shooting came amid growing hostility toward the press, including from political leaders who opportunistically used the press as a foil. One cannot forget attendees at campaign rallies for Donald Trump threatening reporters, egged on by the candidate. That continued during his time in the White House and has not ebbed with his departure. His acolytes are all too eager to attack the media, whether warranted or not, and embrace conspiracy theories and falsehoods rather than detailed, factual and straightforward reporting. Thats not to say the media should be spared criticism or that journalists dont make mistakes. We shouldnt, and we do. But by and large, the work being done by American reporters is honest in intention and fair in approach. When mistakes are made, they are promptly and prominently corrected. Thats especially true at the local level, far away from the chattering heads on national cable news every night. Community newspapers and smaller-scale media organizations work tirelessly to produce valuable, relevant and local journalism that informs the public, holds government to account and holds a mirror to the areas they serve. What happens in the absence of these news outlets? In communities without a credible source of local news, voter participation declines, corruption in both government and business increases, and local residents end up paying more in taxes and at checkout,Ž Northwesterns Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications grimly writes in its 2022 The State of Local NewsŽ report. Yet, in spite of those consequences, the attacks on the press continue: laws that make it harder to obtain public records or attend public meetings, ocials who feel entitled to conceal information from reporters and the public, law enforcement and courts which arrest and try journalists, here in America, for doing their jobs. The founders, journalists themselves, knew that communities with newspapers thrived and prospered from being more informed. They recognized the value of journalism and the power of media to persuade the public. The Federalist Papers, arguing for rati“cation of the Constitution, are but one example and arguably the most important editorials published in American newspapers. What would they think of politicians who baselessly attack the press in a cynical attempt to win a few more votes? What would they think of Americans who threaten and belittle journalists? Would they recognize a nation where the critical link between the public and its elected ocials continues to weaken and where, in some communities, there is no coverage of civic aairs? Its no stretch to believe they would be deeply concerned, if not outraged. And we can hope they would implore their peers in elected oce and their fellow citizens to cease dangerous behavior that imperils journalists serving a critical role in our democracy.Founders knew the value of a free press The Fourth of July has always held a special power over me. I love the hot dogs and burgers and my mothers delicious potato salad. Mostly, though, Ive always cherished the great gatherings of family and friends that culminate with spectacular “reworks displays that light up the dark summer sky. I knew as a kid that on July 4th we were celebrating our many freedoms, which we earned by gaining independence from the British during the Revolutionary War, and which we cemented with the creation of the U.S. Constitution. As an adult, I know our country was imperfect then, as it is now „ that the Declaration of Independence, which spoke so forcefully of individual liberty, was leaving out people who were enslaved. But I also know that our Constitution got many things right, especially checks and balances to keep each our three branches of government from getting too powerful, and the Bill of Rights, which guarantees the protection of the basic rights average citizens like me continue to enjoy. Freedom of speech allows me to write this column and criticize my government when I think it is overstepping its bounds (hello, $32 trillion in recklessly borrowed funds). Its for all of these reasons that I especially enjoy celebrating the Fourth of July. According to History.com, in 1776 some Americans „ fully displaying the raucous American sense of humor „ celebrated the birth of independence by holding mock funerals for King George III.Ž But the “rst ocial Fourth of July celebration occurred in Philadelphia in 1777 when Americans “red a cannon 13 times in honor of the original 13 colonies, and also set o 13 “reworks, reports USA Today. The Pennsylvania Evening Post reported: at night there was a grand exhibition of “reworks (which began and concluded with thirteen rockets) on the Commons, and the city was beautifully illuminated,Ž reports History. com. In Boston, on the very same night, the Sons of Liberty also set o “reworks, so “reworks have been a central part of our July 4th celebrations ever since. To me, though, the biggest element of the July 4th celebration is how we have so often come together to overcome our greatest challenges. The 13 colonies had many dierences and disagreements as their delegates worked together to establish the Declaration of Independence. According to USA Today, Barbara Clark Smith, a curator of political history at the National Museum of American History, notes how extraordinary it was for colonists to “nd common ground. They did “nd a way to put dierences aside and join together to work for a common goal,Ž she added. While declaring independence, they also declared interdependence.Ž And that is why on July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously approved and adopted the Declaration of Independence. In that collaborative spirit, I oer an idea. In addition to the hot dogs, burgers and our familys uniquely delicious potato salad, on this July 4th why dont we engage in a civil discussion with friends and family members with whom we may disagree? Why dont we try a special exercise in which we identify some of the basic things we agree on? Im betting that as we clarify our thinking in a civil manner, well discover we agree far more than we disagree. Follow this approach and the only “reworks that will go o during your July 4th gathering will be the ones that illuminate the night sky!

Email him at Tom@TomPurcell.com.A collaborative way to celebrate July 4th TOM PURCELLPittsburgh Tribune-Review At a recent House Armed Services Committee hearing, leaders from the Army, Navy, and Air Force all dutifully reported that they expected to miss their annual recruiting goal this year by thousands. This is just the latest sign that the military recruiting crisis„ the worst since the institution of the all-volunteer force in 1973„is not abating. Despite signi“cant eorts by the military services, such as oering hefty enlistment bonuses of up to $50,000 and the ability to choose your “rst duty station, recruiting numbers have not improved. The eects on the armed forces are sobering: Navy ships are undermanned, and the Army is considering cutting the number of its Brigade Combat Teams. Assemble 100 experts and veterans in a room and you will hear 100 reasons why recruiting is in trouble. At least one will point to low unemployment and the competitive job market; others will blame the lack of eligible recruits, disquali“ed by obesity or low test scores. Still more will mention the lack of knowledge among youth of military life and bene“ts, fear of death or injury, lack of patriotism, concerns about wokeness,Ž and fallout from the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. Others will cite the dierences between young people in Generation Z, who are currently the prime age for recruiting, and prior generations. Who is right? Well, all of them. Each of these issues contribute to the militarys inability to recruit. Fixing just one will not right this ship. Only a comprehensive approach will work. Recruiting has always been known as a tough duty among military members. Even though there are roughly 30 million Americans aged 1824 and the military only needs about 160,000 of them per year to meet its goals, it has never been easy to convince young people to sign up for service. But since 2018 when a strong U.S. economy and a hot job market increased competition, recruiters have been really struggling. Now, in the face of the headwinds described above, they are failing. Unfortunately, it is not clear that our national leaders even understand there is a problem. Although some service secretaries, such as Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth, and four-star generals have been sounding the alarm, they cannot do it alone. Without broad support from the White House, senior DOD leaders, and other federal departments, recruiting numbers will continue to founder. A call to action is needed to increase public awareness about the severity of the situation. Most Americans remain blissfully unaware that their military is literally shrinking by the day. This is largely because the public possesses an overall positive perception of the armed forces, despite the fact that the military remains detached from the lives of most Americans. To solve the recruiting crisis, it is essential to bridge this gap between the military and the American people. Every signi“cant concern that the American public has about military service must be addressed head on. Recruiting messages, for example, must highlight the importance of service as well as appeal to the interests and taking on the concerns of young people. That means crafting a response to young Americans worried that military service will result in mental and physical trauma. The military is not risk-free, of course, but most veterans leave stronger and healthier than when they entered, not riddled with mental scars and physical injuries. The same approach must be applied to the package of pay and bene“ts that the military oers. The armed forces may not be able to fully match the private sector in this regard, but it must at least be on the same playing “eld. Finally, perhaps the most important action that our leaders can take is to educate young Americans on the necessity of a strong military and the positive impact of military service, both for oneself and for the nation. For example, contrary to popular belief, the military is not an impediment to higher education and career opportunities. Quite the opposite, it provides an opportunity for social mobility, and the GI Bill allows veterans to pursue university studies without incurring crushing student debt. Many come away from service with leadership skills and self-discipline that the private sector greatly values. It is too easy to label Generation Z as unpatriotic, unmotivated or incapable. What is needed is action. Critics should keep in mind that the recruiting crisis has not been caused by just one problem, and it wont be “xed with just one solution. Indeed, it will require the eort of an entire nation. Government and military leaders, parents, teachers and community role models will all have to engage with young people to help them understand the importance of military service and how their lives can be directly connected to that great purpose. There can be no more excuses or delays. The time to act is now.

Daily Break TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM By LEANNE ITALIEASSOCIATED PRESSNEW YORK „ Space Disco Cowboy.Ž Yacht Shabbat.Ž Burning Man FormalŽ? More couples are tossing tradition when it comes to what wedding guests should wear, to some befuddlement among invitees. Maggie Long, 34, recently attended the nuptials of a close friend in a low-key Denver lounge. The suggested dress? Dive Bar Semiformal.Ž I love a theme,Ž said Long, who lives in New York. Its fun that people arent taking weddings so seriously, but I had no idea what that meant.Ž After exchanging thoughts for months with the ociant, who is also a friend, Long took her out“t idea „ a strappy-back, low-cut ultra-mini purple dress with a high side slit „ to the bride. The bride deemed it a bit too Kardashian cosplay.Ž Long “nally settled on a longer gold lamé dress by Norma Kamali, and a great time was had. There were a lot of vintage jumpsuits. One of our friends went full 1960s with go-go boots and a bouant. A lot of sequins were happening,Ž Long said. Some couples are oering mood boards as a way to guide guests, including older ones. At the dive bar wedding, Long said plenty of older guests got into the spirit. One donned a rainbow tie-dye T-shirt, à la the Grateful Dead. Other wedding guests have contended with Tropical Formal,Ž Snappy CasualŽ and Garden Party Whimsical.Ž Heading into the busy summer season for weddings and other special events, Indya Wright in Washington, D.C., has had enough. She recently posted on Twitter: These new age event dress codes are the bane of my existence. What happened to just casual, cocktail and formal? Now I gotta Google After 5 Formal Festive Renaissance attire to “gure out if you want me to give Great Gatsby or King Arthur & the Knights of the Round Table.Ž Wright, 35, remains frustrated. The wedding of a college classmate had a smart, but not too smart casualŽ dress code. DONT CONFUSE GUESTS 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. The key is making sure theres communication behind the dress code. Dont just confuse guests,Ž she said. When her company builds wedding websites for clients, it includes descriptions for dress codes like Wine Country Chic,Ž urging couples to oer a broad enough palette for people to express themselves. Tropical Formal,Ž for instance, could be long, ”owing dresses in bright summer colors and linen suits with playful ties. Most guests have a lot of fun with it,Ž Strauss said. Rikki Gotthelf, 32, in Los Angeles, attended a wedding recently and has three more this year. She was a bridesmaid for the Space Disco CowboyŽ nuptials of friends who shuttled their guests to an abandoned ghost town near Austin, Texas. We had these shiny intergalactic Batsheva prairie dresses. Mine was iridescent,Ž Gotthelf said. Another wedding I went to was Funky Formal.Ž For guidance, Gotthelf turned to Sophie Strauss, who bills herself as a stylist for regular people.Ž Strauss suggests following up with the couple if they havent made themselves clear. They wont be oended,Ž she said. Theyre invested enough in how everyone looks to have put forth a kooky dress code.Ž One of her clients has a Music Festival FormalŽ wedding coming up. He clari“ed with the couple that its more Woodstock, less Burning Man. Good to know,Ž Strauss said. The dierence? Hippie ”owy dresses, bell bottoms, tunics, tie dye, big round sunglasses and woven headbands for the former. Mad Max-meets-Carnival on mushroomsŽ in lamé, combat boots, rhinestones, body paint and goggles for the latter, she said. Her client decided on a neutral-tone linen suit with a vintage beaded necklace or two. NOT COSTUMES Strauss implored guests staring down out-there dress codes to remember: Its not a costume. Unless, of course, its literally a costume party.Ž Small adjustments may be enough, like wearing a regular suit but swapping out a dress shirt for one in an on-theme pattern. James Berger, 32, in Las Vegas, was among guests told to express their inner spirit. He managed a black polka dot bow tie with a formal suit that left him feeling slightly out of placeŽ among a sea of vibrant colors. Strauss regularly faces the issue among her clients. I had a client who had to do a Fancy Ranch theme a few months ago and she was tempted to go buy a new out“t from head to toe,Ž Strauss said. But pairing some cowboy boots with a sundress or swapping a tie for a bolo tie goes a long way. And if youre really into it you could add a cowboy hat. You dont need to dress like Orville Peck to “t the theme, though if thats your style, oh my god go for it!Ž Theres often sentimental meaning behind wedding themes. Madison Smith, 32, is a May 2024 bride and her dress code calls for Black Tie Sunset Glam.Ž The wedding will be held at the Bonnet Island Estate in Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Its in honor of my late grandfather,Ž she said of the theme. His favorite thing was the sunsets where Im getting married.Ž Her vision? Sunset-colored gowns of oranges, yell ows, purples, blues and pinks with fun accessories, and tuxedoes with bow ties and pocket squares of the same colors. Smith, in Arlington, Virginia, hasnt left guests guessing. She works for Pinterest and has already been pinning inspiration to give them a boost. Her bridal shower guests have a board of their own to tackle Smiths LoveShackFancyŽ dress code. They have no precedent for an unusual dress code where a couple calls for something other than black tie, formal, cocktail or casual attire. When you receive an invitation that reads Festive Hudson Valley Chic or Tropical Hipster, it can certainly bode more questions than less for those used to more traditional themes,Ž said Amy Shey Jacobs, founder of Chandelier Events in New York. Gay Garden Party.Ž Black Tie Fabulous.Ž Colorful Cocktail.Ž Sparkle and Shine.Ž Red Carpet Ready.Ž Jove Meyer, owner and creative director of an eponymous event planning company in Brooklyn, has handled all of the above in dress codes. As much as I love a fun and unique dress code, I always suggest couples clarify exactly what they mean with a descriptive sentence or two so theres no guessing,Ž he said. Brittny Drye, editor in chief of the wedding resource magazine Love Inc., said guests shouldnt be reluctant to quiz the bridal couple about a puzzling dress code. We never want to bombard the couple,Ž she said, but when theyre asking their guests to abide by a nontraditional dress code, theyre signing themselves up to be asked questions.ŽSpace Disco Cowboy?

As the dancers move vertically up the workplace ladder, theres also a lot of, er, horizontal action. Hamrick says she wanted to give readers a good time, but also a view of what the ballet is like behind the gilded curtainŽ „ a world that presents as pristine and perfect. You see this image on stage,Ž says Hamrick, 36. But if you saw whats in the wings youd be shocked.Ž Hamrick sat down with The Associated Press to chat about the process of writing her “rst novel. The interview has been edited for length, clarity and ”ow. You danced with one of the countrys top companies for 16 years. Why did you stop? I was ful“lled in the roles I was dancing. (But) once I had a child, the balance didnt work. At the time, only one other dancer had a child in the company. I felt that it was hard, and they didnt really understand my need to balance being a mother and being in the studio 10 hours a day. Is that when you turned to writing? It was the pandemic, and we had all that time. I was originally working on a dance show ƒ a bigger version of the ballet (Hamrick choreographed) to Rolling Stones music. And I was so excited about it and we were looking at venues and then theaters closed. Unfortunately, ballet gets cut “rst from a lot of budgets. I had all these stories from the ballet, and my Mom would say Write them down!Ž and Mick would say Write them down!Ž And “nally it was, This is the time, lets do it.Ž And why a romance novel? The ballet world was a no-brainer. Thats what I know. And I love a good romance novel. But this is more like erotic ction. Its the escapism. Fifty Shades of GreyŽ was such a phenomenon, to embrace sex and talk about sex. So for me, youre already escaping into the ballet world, so lets go to the next level! And its fun. Were you also inuenced by Black SwanŽ? Yes, Black SwanŽ opened the door a bit. I loved the movie. Some people said it wasnt authentic, but I was like, its authentic enough, its just that it all wouldnt happen to just one person. Maybe 10 people. Its like my book „ its “ction, you can embellish it. The sex clubs ƒ are they really a thing in the ballet world? (Laughs): Youre in these beautiful cities. Youre young. Youre in Paris and youre in your early 20s. Youre going to go have fun. You know, you missed out. You didnt do the college thing. You didnt do the high school thing, right? Now, wild nightsŽ are rare, but thats what was so fun about writing this. I could make every one a wild night. One serious angle you introduce is about the young women being mistreated by powerful men in charge. I think it happens in every career, everywhere. I “nd people can relate to that. And ballet has always been such a male-dominated world „ yet its a female-dominated workplace. But I love that its changing, there are now way more female directors than there used to be. How has your family reacted to the book? Well, my mom read the “rst few chapters and said, I didnt know it was going to be THAT sexy!Ž And I was like, Well, Mom, you encouraged me to write the book.Ž And she said, But I didnt know it was going to be like THAT!Ž Mick was so supportive, he really enjoyed it.50 shades of ballet?Steamy novel makes Black Swan seem tame BERKLEY, LEFT, AND APThis combination of photos shows cover art for First Position,Ž a novel by Melanie Hamrick, left, and a portrait of Hamrick.

ROACH: What signs and/ or symptoms do you need for a doctor to determine you have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)? „ R.K. ANSWER: The diagnosis of COPD is suspected in people who are at risk for the disease and note one of two cardinal symptoms: cough or dyspnea. (A "symptom" is what a patient identi“es by history, while a "sign" is noted on a physical exam. Cough can be both a symptom and a sign.) Dyspnea is usually described as shortness of breath, a sensation that a person can't get enough air, like they have just run very fast. Some people with COPD may have very subtle symptoms. Smoking is the biggest risk factor for COPD, but there are other causes, including other chemical exposures (industrial exposures and home cooking “res are less common now, but are historically important causes of COPD); scarring lung disease; and a genetic cause, a condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin de“ciency. The diagnosis is con“rmed most often by tests of lung function, which are breathing tests to look at the physiology of the lung and its ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Sometimes, the diagnosis can be supported by an X-ray or CT scan, but pulmonary function testing is the best way to determine the severity of COPD and follow the course. We do have ways of slowing down lung decline in COPD, one way being smoking cessation for current smokers, but some of the medications we use also help reduce ongoing damage. DEAR DR. ROACH: Please help! Is it true that Trulicity may cause serious side effects, including thyroid tumors and cancer, as well as pancreatitis? „ J.R. ANSWER: Dulaglutide (Trulicity), like semaglutide (Ozembic) and liraglutide (Victoza), are in a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which have several actions, such as increasing insulin release by the pancreas in response to meals. Initial studies on laboratory rats did show an increase in an unusual type of thyroid cancer, but studies have not yet shown an increased rate in humans. Still, people at an increased risk for this type of thyroid cancer (a family history of medullary thyroid cancer or of multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2A or 2B) are not recommended to take this medication. Similarly, there are reports of pancreatitis in people taking this medication, but it isn't clear whether the medicine is responsible for the pancreatitis. It's unwise to use this class of medication in people with a history of pancreatitis. DR. ROACHAdvice Columnist Learning symptoms that lead to a COPD diagnosis DEAR HELOISE: When I shop online, I almost exclusively buy products that I can return for free. Since I am shopping online, I cannot try something on or touch it before making the purchase, so I often return items once I receive them because they did not work out. While the return shipping label may be free, packaging is not. When you return an item using UPS, FedEx or another delivery service, the item must be packaged properly before shipping. You can purchase packaging material from the shipper or at a store, but it costs money. And why spend money when you can get it for free? Instead, keep a large tote or some other container in your house or garage to store shipping material. Next to the tote, keep scissors, packing tape, permanent markers, an ink pen, a box cutter and anything else you might need for shipping a package. When you receive a delivery, carefully open the containers so that you don't damage them. Remove the shipping material and set it aside, being careful not to damage those as well. Most shipments come in a padded shipping bag, poly mailer or cardboard box and contain packing material such as bubble wrap, packing paper, foam pouches, packing peanuts and other “llers. All of the items can be reused. Make sure to remove the shipping labels from each container. Most can be easily peeled off; if it cannot be removed, use a permanent marker or colored tape to cover the label. You can also turn shipping bags inside out and use the clean side to attach the return label. Keep all of this in your shipping tote and use it anytime you need to return a package. You will never need to pay for shipping material again. Reusing these items is also a great way to recycle and cut down on land“ll waste.

My phone was taken away from me for months, and I wasn't allowed to do anything besides go to school. It caused me to develop social anxiety. I still live with my controlling mother and go only to work. I have no social life. I want to leave her, get a social life and experience new things, but every time I bring it up to her, she plays the victim and insists she needs me or belittles me and says I need her. She does things for me as an "act of kindness," but it feels like she does it so I'll need her or it will never get done without her. I don't know how to get out of this situation. What is the best way to handle it? „ Sheltered in Texas DEAR SHELTERED: The longer your mother can prevent you from making friends and living a normal life for a person your age, the deeper her emotional dependence on you will become. Start saving your money until you have enough that you can “nd a place (with a roommate, if necessary), and then move. Do not ask for permission because your mother will give you a dozen reasons why you should postpone it. If you have other relatives who will guide you through this growth experience, reach out to them. You weren't being "sheltered" in your teens; your wings were being systematically clipped to prevent you from becoming independent. Taking this step may feel daunting, but for your personal growth, you must “nd the courage to give it a try. DEAR ABBY: On my “rst date with my husband, he told me his “rst wife was a "fox." I thought, "How would I compete?" We are married now, but he has never told me I was pretty or anything close. He's a great husband, but these things are not in his wheelhouse. Tonight, I was watching a game show and the winner introduced his "beautiful wife." The woman had a facial deformity, but you could tell he meant what he said. It is hurtful that my husband never sees my inner beauty. We have been married 41 years now. I knew this was how he was when we married. He excuses it by saying this is the way he is. Yet I feel so very let down now. Can you comment? „ Unpretty in Kentucky DEAR UNPRETTY: I'm surprised that after your suitor's remark there was a second, third or fourth date. Why would he feel the need to describe his ex-wife to you? I will assume that in the ensuing 41 years you have told him how sad you are that he hasn't AT LEAST mentioned that he appreciates your inner beauty and “ner qualities and how lucky he feels to have you as his wife. "You knew how he was when you married him" is an excuse for his insensitivity, not an apology. I wish you would have elaborated on what makes him a great husband, because from where I sit, he's insensitive, withholding and not a very nice person.

Buckle up, wishful traveler, for a very dierent journey before you step anywhere near an airport.A much-feared backup of U.S passport applications has smashed into a wall of government bureaucracy as worldwide travel rebounds toward record pre-pan demic levels „ with too few humans to handle the load. The result, say aspir ing travelers in the U.S. and around the world, is a maddening pre-travel pur gatory defined, at best, by costly uncertainty. With family dreams and big money on the line, passport seekers describe a slow-motion agony of waiting, worrying, holding the line, refreshing the screen, complaining to Congress, paying extra fees and following incorrect directions. Some applicants are buying additional plane tickets to snag in-process pass ports where they sit „ in other cities „ in time to make the flights they booked in the first place. So grim is the outlook that U.S. offi cials arent even denying the problem or predicting when it will ease. Theyre blaming the epic wait times on lingering pandemic -related staffing shortages and a pause of online processing this year. Thats left the passport agency flooded with a record-busting 500,000 appli cations a week. The deluge is on-track to top last years 22 million passports issued, the State Department says. Stories from applicants and interviews by The Associated Press depict a sys tem of crisis management, in which the agencies are prioritizing urgent cases such as applicants traveling for reasons of life or deathŽ and those whose travel is only a few days off. For everyone else, the options are few and expensive. So, 2023 traveler, if you still need a valid U.S. passport, prepare for an unplanned excursion into the nightmare zone.PLENTY OF TIME TO BIG PROBLEMSIt was early March when Dallas-area florist Ginger Collier applied for four passports ahead of a family vacation at the end of June. The clerk, she said, esti mated wait times at eight to 11 weeks. Theyd have their passports a month before they needed them. Plenty of time,Ž Collier recalled thinking. Then the State Department upped the wait time for a regular passport to as much as 13 weeks. Well still be okay,Ž she thought. At T-minus two weeks to travel, this was her assessment: I cant sleep.Ž This after months of calling, holding, pressing refresh on a website, trying her mem ber of Congress „ and stressing as the departure date loomed. Failure to obtain the familys passports would mean losing $4,000, she said, as well as the chance to meet one of her sons in Italy after a study-abroad semester. My nerves are shot, because I may not be able to get to him,Ž she said. She calls the toll-free number every day, holds for as much as 90 minutes to be told „ at best „ that she might be able to get a required appointment at pass port offices in other states. I cant afford four more plane tick ets anywhere in the United States to get a passport when I applied in plenty of time,Ž she said. How about they just process my passports?ŽASSOCIATED PRESSMarni Larsen and her son, Damon Rasmussen of Holladay, Utah, wait their turn in line hoping to snag her sons passport outside the Los Angeles Passport Agency on June 14 at the Federal Building in Los Angeles.Passport waits are creating travel purgatory COLLIN BINKLEYAssociated PressWASHINGTON „ A civil rights group is challenging leg acy admissions at Harvard University, saying the practice discriminates against students of color by giving an unfair boost to the mostly white children of alumni. The practice of giving pri ority to the children of alumni has faced growing pushback in the wake of last weeks Supreme Courts decision ending affir mative action in higher education. The NAACP added its weight behind the effort on Monday, asking more than 1,500 colleges and universi ties to even the playing field in admissions, including by ending legacy admissions. The civil rights complaint was filed Monday by Lawyers for Civil Rights, a nonprofit based in Boston, on behalf of Black and Latino community groups in New England, alleg ing that Harvards admissions system violates the Civil Rights Act. Why are we rewarding chil dren for privileges and advantages accrued by prior generations?Ž said Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal, the groups executive director. Your familys last name and the size of your bank account are not a measure of merit, and should have no bearing on the college admissions process.Ž Opponents say the practice is no longer defensible without affirmative action providing a counterbalance. The courts rul ing says colleges must ignore the race of applicants, activists point out, but schools can still give a boost to the children of alumni and donors. The complaint, submitted with the Education Depart ments Office for Civil Rights, draws on Harvard data that came to light amid the affir mative action case that landed before the Supreme Court. The records revealed that 70% of Harvards donor-related and legacy applicants are white, and being a legacy student makes an applicant roughly six times more likely to be admitted.Activists challenge legacy admissions at Harvard ASSOCIATED PRESSDemonstrators protest on June 29 outside of the Supreme Court in Washington, after the Supreme Court struck down armative action in college admissions, saying race cannot be a factor. Days after the Supreme Court outlawed armative action in college admissions, activists say they will sue Harvard over its use of legacy preferences for children of alumni.A supplement to your hometown newspaper

APG NATIONAL NEWS 2 | TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023BEIJING (AP) „ Heavy flooding has displaced thousands of people around China as the capital had a rel ative respite from sweltering heat. Beijing reported 9.8 straight days when the temperature exceeded 35 C (95 F), the National Climate Center said Monday. Such a streak was last recorded in 1961 „ decades before most Beijing residents had air conditioning or even fans. A lack of rainfall may be con tributing to the heat, with the typically dry capital receiving even less than usual this year. While temperatures have since moderated „ Mondays temperature at midday was 33 C (91 F) „ they are expected to rise again this week to as high as 39.6 Celsius (103 Fahren heit) in Beijing and other parts of the country, authorities said. Meanwhile, more than 10,000 peo ple were urgently moved to safety due to flooding in the central province of Hunan, the Xiangxi Emergency Management Bureau on Sunday. Around 70 houses collapsed, 2,283 were damaged and farm fields were flooded. Losses so far have been esti mated at least 575 million yuan ($79 million). To the north in Shaanxi provinces Zhenba county, authorities reported the worst flooding in 50 years had washed out roads and damaged homes. No deaths have been reported from the floods thus far. The heat this year has been unusual, although China has regular summer flooding. Eleven provinces „ around half of Chinas land area „ were expected to received heavy rains in coming days, mainly in the humid south. In 2021, more than 300 peo ple died in the central province of Henan. Record rainfall inundated the provincial capital of Zhengzhou on July 20 that year, turning streets into rushing rivers and flooding at least part of a subway line. Chinas worst floods in recent his tory were in 1998, when 4,150 people died, most of them along the Yangtze River.Flooding displaces 10,000 around China during heat wave Honolulu 88/76 Hilo 80/67 Anchorage 59/50 Fairbanks 72/54 Juneau 65/55 Monterrey 104/72 Chihuahua 102/74 Los Angeles 77/58 Washington 84/68 New York 76/68 Atlanta 92/69 Detroit 75/58 Houston 102/79 Kansas City 86/71 Minneapolis 87/68 El Paso 107/80 Denver 93/56 San Francisco 68/56 Seattle 75/56 Port Charlotte 93/76 Knoxville 86/65 Greensboro 83/62 Madison 83/59 Bozeman 71/51 Nampa 81/57 Toronto 74/60 Montreal 77/66 Winnipeg 78/61NATIONAL (for the 48 contiguous states)INTERNATIONALNATIONAL FORECAST In the digital e-edition, you can click anywhere on the US map to get up-to-date forecasts, radar, MinuteCast® and more.NATIONAL CITIES TODAY INTERNATIONAL CITIES-10s-0s0s10s20s30s40s50s60s70s80s90s100s110sShowersT-stormsRainFlurriesSnowIce Cold frontWarm frontStationary frontWEATHER HISTORYWEATHER TRIVIA’City Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQ City Hi Lo W Hi Lo W City Hi Lo W Hi Lo WWeather ( W ): s -sunny, pc -partly cloudy, c -cloudy, sh -showers, t -thunderstorms, r -rain, sf -snow ”urries, sn -snow, i -ice.

AROUND THE WORLDNATION & WORLD PHILADELPHIA (AP) „ A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire in Philadelphia on Monday night, killing four people and wounding two others, police said. Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said at a news con ference that all the victims were male. The suspect was arrested in an alley without incident, Outlaw said. He had a bulletproof vest, multiple magazines, an AR-type rifle,Ž a handgun and a police scanner, she said. At this point all we know is that this person decided to leave their home and target individuals,Ž Outlaw said. The shooting occurred a day after gunfire erupted at a holiday weekend block party in Baltimore, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) to the southwest, killing two people and wounding 28 others. The wounded in that shooting ranged in age from 13 to 32, with more than half of them minors, according to officials. The Philadelphia violence marks the countrys 29th mass killing in 2023, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. So far this year, the nation has witnessed the highest num ber on record of mass killings and deaths to this point in a single year. There have been more than 550 mass killing incidents since 2006, according to the database, in which at least 2,900 people have died and at least 2,000 people have been injured.Police: Four people killed in Philadelphia shooting and suspect is now in custodyMEXICO CITY (AP) „ Mexicos old ruling party fractured Monday, with four leading senators resigning amid internal disputes and the loss of the last major state the party governed. The Institutional Revolutionary Parties held the presidency and almost all statehouses in Mexico without interruption for 70 years. But the PRI, as the party is known, has been reduced to a shadow of its former self by the rise of President Andrés Manuel López Obradors Morena party, which won the gover norship of the last major PRI bastion, the State of Mexico, last month. Morena has seized on the combina tion of handout programs and nationalism that the PRI once espoused, and has largely replaced it. On Monday, four leading PRI senators and dozens of supporters announced they are quitting the party. Senators led by former interior secre tary Miguel Osorio Chong announced they will form a new group called Congruence for Mexico.Ž The new group will not be able to compete in the 2024 presidential elections. The PRI, which now governs only two sparsely populated states, is now Mexicos fourth biggest party, trailing Morena, the conserva tive National Action Party and the centrist Citizens Movement.

HANNAH SCHOENBAUM, KIMBERLEE KRUESI and ERIK VERDUZCOAssociated PressCHARLOTTE, N.C. „ A visible crack in the support beam of a North Carolina roller coaster served as a reminder of the risks that some times arise with amusement park rides, particularly as families and adrenaline junkies flock to the attractions in sum mer. Video footage of the Char lotte-based Carowinds popular Fury 325 „ known as a Giga coasterŽ due to its dramatic height of 325 feet (99 meters) „ showed a key support beam bending with the top visibly detached as cars packed with unsuspecting pas sengers whirled by at speeds of up to 95 mph (150 kph). The park, which straddles the North Carolina and South Carolina line, closed the ride late last week as ques tions swirled about how the crack occurred. Those answers remained largely unknown as state investigators were on site in Monday morning. Tommy Petty, chief of the state Department of Labors Amusement Device Bureau, confirmed investi gators already came and wentŽ from Carowinds on Monday but declined to share details about their findings. Meanwhile, Carowinds said in a state ment that all of its rides, including Fury 325, are inspected daily to ensure their proper functioning and structural integrity.Ž Several Carowinds visitors said they were aware that the ride had been closed for repairs, but they were not deterred from enjoying the parks other attractions. Greg Bledsoe, a 22-year-old season pass holder, visited the park Monday despite having watched the viral video of the Fury 325 track separating from its support beam mid-ride. Im just glad I wasnt on it because I dont want to fall off. Im glad nobody fell off,Ž he said. While Bledsoe said the video was a bit of a shock,Ž he remains confident in the parks overall safety and plans to make good use of his season pass. Hopefully they get it fixed before the seasons over so I can ride it some more,Ž he said of the broken coaster. Its like the main thing here.Ž Industry experts have been quick to counter that millions of Americans hop on roller coasters, Ferris wheels, water slides and many other rides without ever experiencing issues. They note injury rates are extremely low. A 2021 survey compiled on behalf of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attrac tions found 0.9 injuries per million rides,Ž said Caitlin Dineen, the groups spokesperson. That year, more than 1,200 ride-related injuries were reported out of the typical 1.7 billion rides that take place each year across 400 locations in North America. Safety is the top priority for the global attractions industry,Ž Dineen said. An excellent safety record is in the best interest of the industry, and leaders within it are committed to pro viding safe and secure attractions for all their guests and visitors.Ž For Steven Powers, a resident of Columbia, South Carolina who visited Carowinds Monday with friends, the positive atmosphere of the park out weighs any worries. As far as any other safety concerns, I dont believe there are any,Ž Pow ers said. I think always subconsciously we think something might happen in the back of our minds, but I also know that they do have peoples lives in their hands so theyre going to make sure that they do what theyre supposed to do on their end.Ž Even when amusement park mis haps dont result in injuries, they can still upend vacations and cause head aches for summer fun-seekers. Shortly after footage was released of the crack inside Fury 325s support structure, riders on a roller coaster in northeastern Wisconsin were trapped upside down for three hours before emergency responders arrived to res cue them. WJFW reports the ride had been inspected recently when a mechani cal failure occurred, halting the coaster mid-ride, according to Capt. Bren nan Cook of the Crandon Fire Department. But sometimes deaths do occur on an amusement park ride. In 2022, Orlandos International Drive district removed a towering 400-foot (122-meter) ride after it was directly linked to the death of 14-yearold Tyre Sampson „ a Missouri teen who fell to his death while on the ride the year prior. Sampson, who lived near St. Louis, Missouri, was visiting Orlando during spring break when he died. An initial report from outside engi neers hired by the Florida Department of Agriculture said sensors on the ride had been adjusted manually to double the size of the opening for restraints on two seats, resulting in the teen not being properly secured.Crack serves as a reminder of risks on amusement rides ASSOCIATED PRESSPeople ride a roller coaster Monday at the Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, N.C.

SCIENCE &TECH ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 | 5VICTORIA MILKOAssociated PressJAKARTA, Indonesia „ The International Seabed Authority „ the United Nations body that regulates the worlds ocean floor „ is preparing to resume negotiations that could open the international sea bed for mining, including for materials critical for the green energy transition. Years long negotiations are reaching a critical point where the authority will soon need to begin accepting mining permit applications, adding to worries over the potential impacts on sparsely researched marine ecosystems and habitats of the deep sea. Heres a look at what deep sea mining is, why some companies and countries are applying for permits to carry it out and why environmental activists are rais ing concerns.WHAT IS DEEP SEA MINING?Deep sea mining involves removing mineral deposits and metals from the oceans seabed. There are three types of such mining: taking deposit-rich poly metallic nodules off the ocean floor, mining massive seafloor sulphide deposits and stripping cobalt crusts from rock. These nodules, deposits and crusts contain materi als, such as nickel, rare earths, cobalt and more, that are needed for batteries and other materials used in tapping renewable energy and also for everyday technology like cellphones and computers. Engineering and technology used for deep sea min ing are still evolving. Some companies are looking to vacuum materials from seafloor using massive pumps. Others are developing artificial intelligence-based technology that would teach deep sea robots how to pluck nodules from the floor. Some are looking to use advanced machines that could mine materials off side of huge underwater mountains and volcanoes. Companies and governments view these as stra tegically important resources that will be needed as onshore reserves are depleted and demand continues to rise.HOW IS DEEP SEA MINING REGULATED NOW?Countries manage their own maritime territory and exclusive economic zones, while the high seas and the international ocean floor are governed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas. It is considered to apply to states regardless of whether or not they have signed or ratified it. Under the treaty, the seabed and its mineral resources are consid ered the common heritage of mankindŽ that must be managed in a way that protects the interests of humanity through the sharing of economic benefits, support for marine scientific research, and protecting marine environments. Mining companies interested in deep sea exploita tion are partnering with countries to help them get exploration licenses. More than 30 exploration licenses have been issued so far, with activity mostly focused in an area called the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone, which spans 1.7 million square miles (4.5 million square kilome ters) between Hawaii and Mexico.WHY IS THERE PRESSURE ON THE ISA TO ESTABLISH REGULATIONS NOW?A clause of the U.N. treaty requires the ISA to complete regulations governing deep sea exploitation by July 2023. Countries and private companies can start applying for provisional licenses if the U.N. body fails to approve a set of rules and regulations by July 9. Experts say its unlike it will since the process will likely take several years.WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS?Only a small part of the deep seabed has been explored and conservationists worry that ecosystems will be dam aged by mining, especially without any environmental protocols. Damage from mining can include noise, vibration and light pollution, as well as possible leaks and spills of fuels and other chemicals used in the mining process. Sediment plumes from the some mining processes are a major concern. Once valuable materials are taken extracted, slurry sediment plumes are sometimes pumped back into the sea. That can harm filter feeding species like corals and sponges, and could smother or otherwise inter fere with some creatures. The full extent of implications for deep sea ecosystems is unclear, but scientists have warned that biodiversity loss is inevitable and potentially irreversible. Were constantly finding new stuff and its a little bit premature to start mining the deep sea when we dont really understand the biology, the environments, the eco systems or anything else,Ž said Christopher Kelley, a biologist with research expertise in deep sea ecology.ASSOCIATED PRESSCoral on Moore Reef is visible on Nov. 13 in Gunggandji Sea Country o coast of Queensland in eastern Australia.Deep sea bed mining permits may be coming soon, ISA says What are the permits and what might they change?

SPORTS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 | 6 ASSOCIATED PRESSWIMBLEDON, England „ Sofia Kenin used to be the up-and-coming American, the one who was a Grand Slam champion at age 21, the one who beat a teenage Coco Gauff on the way to that trophy, the one who right afterward broke into the Top 10 in the WTA rankings, then soon made another run to a major final.After all of that came a series of health issues „ a lingering foot injury, a bout with COVID-19, a right ankle problem „ and three firstround exits in a row at major tournaments, all of which added up to a slide down the rankings. Coming into Wimbledon, Kenin was ranked 128th, so low she needed to go through three qualifying rounds just to get into the main draw, where she was placed in the bracket against none other than Gauff. Its Gauff who is now in the Top 10 at age 19 and seeded No. 7 at the All England Club, who was a Slam runner-up at last years French Open, who was a quarterfinalist or better at four of the most recent nine majors. And yet it was Kenin who came out on top in their highlight-filled matchup on a windy, chilly Monday at No. 1 Court, beating Gauff 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. I know where I was,Ž Kenin said, and where I should be.Ž She was steadier than Gauff, with far fewer winners but also far fewer unforced errors. Heres how Kenin described her mindset: Dont get anxious or super excited.Ž Kenin also acknowledged afterward that she set out to pick on her forehand a little bit more,Ž referring to Gauffs weaker side. I didnt really put too much pressure on her,Ž Gauff said. I felt like she could make a ball on the court (and) didnt have to be as good „ and I wouldnt do much with it. Thats what happened.Ž There were highlights, including one sequence each in which one player fell down to the grass, got herself back up and ended up taking the point. With three wins under her belt from qualies, I knew she was going to be playing with confidence,Ž Gauff said when asked about whether Kenin could return to the heights she once reached. I mean, its always possible for somebody to get back to that level. Shes still on the younger end of her career. I think with how she played today, it shouldnt be too long.Ž It was at Wimbledon in 2019 that Gauff made her breakthrough and began to establish herself as a household name at age 15. She became the youngest player to qualify at the All England Club, then beat seven-time major champion Venus Williams in the first round en route to getting all the way to the fourth round before losing to eventual title winner Simona Halep. Still not yet 20, Gauff is considered one of the rising stars of womens tennis. That label was applied to Kenin just three years ago.VENUS FALLS EARLY IN HER FIRST MATCH AT HER 24TH WIMBLEDON AND LOSES TO SVITOLINAWIMBLEDON, England „ As Venus Williams entered Centre Court for her 24th Wimbledon appearance at age 43, greeted by a standing ovation, she held a green exercise band overhead with both hands and stretched it while striding to her sideline seat. Once her first-round match against Elina Svitolina began, Williams played like a throwback version of herself. Those big serves. Those crisp strokes. Quickly, she was a point from a 3-0 lead on Monday. And then, moving forward to attempt a volley, Williams slipped on the green grass. Her right foot gave way. She collapsed to the ground. She shrieked and clutched at her right knee, which already was covered by a beige sleeve. Williams twice was treated by a trainer „ including getting that knee taped up during a medical timeout after the first set „ and although the American kept playing, she could not manage to overcome 2019 Wimbledon semifinalist Svitolina in a 6-4, 6-3 defeat. Im not sure what Ive done. Im going to have to investigate it tomorrow. Its late today. But it was quite painful,Ž Williams said. Grass is inherently going to be slippery; youre going to fall at some point. It was just bad luck for me. I started the match perfectly. I was literally killing it. And then I got killed by the grass.Ž Williams, a former No. 1 now ranked outside the Top 500 after a series of injuries that limited her to 22 matches since the start of 2021, was the oldest player in this years field and the fourtholdest to compete in the main draw at Wimbledon.Kenin surprises Gauff in opener ASSOCIATED PRESSSo“ a Kenin, left, shakes hands with fellow American Coco Gau after winning their “ rst-round match Monday in London. Philipsen wins third stage of Tour de France, Yates leadsBAYONNE, France „ Belgian cyclist Jasper Philipsen won the third stage of the Tour de France in a bunched sprint on Monday, while Adam Yates of Britain kept the race leaders yellow jersey. The 25-year-old Philipsen, who won two stages in last years race, was expertly led to the front by his Alpecin…Deceuninck teammate Mathieu van der Poel and comfortably held o German rider Phil Bauhaus and Australian Caleb Ewan as they dashed to the line. It was a tense “ nal, but this is the Tour de France: there are no presents, everybody goes all-in,Ž Philipsen said. Its amazing to have Mathieu as a lead-out man. If he had the space to go, for sure he has the speed to “ ght for the win.Ž Danish sprinter Fabio Jakobsen was fourth ahead of Belgian standout Wout van Aert, who failed to overtake Philipsen on the right in the last 50 meters and backed o near a crash barrier. They all clocked 4 hours, 43 minutes, 15 seconds on the 193-kilometer (120-mile) route from Amorebieta-Etxano in Spains Basque country to Bayonne in France. The main contenders for the overall win arrived safely. Yates maintained his six-second lead over two-time Tour winner Tadej Pogaar of Slovenia and his twin brother Simon Yates in third.Harris belts 2 HRs, Braves beat Guardians for 9th straight winCLEVELAND „ Michael Harris homered twice and Bryce Elder, one of Atlantas eight AllStars, pitched 6 2/3 solid innings to lead the Braves to their season-high ninth straight win, 4-2 over the Cleveland Guardians on Monday night. Harris connected for solo shots in the third and “ fth innings o Guardians rookie Gavin Williams (0-1). Atlantas No. 9 hitter is batting .416 (37 of 89) with seven homers and 16 RBIs in his last 24 games. Marcell Ozuna also homered for the Braves, who have won 17 of 18 and 24 of 27. Atlanta, which has had three winning streaks of at least eight games, improved MLBs best record to 57-27. Elder (7-1) didnt give up a run until Amed Rosarios two-run single in the seventh. A.J. Minter came on and got out of a two-on jam and Nick Anderson retired Myles Straw with two on in the eighth. Reds outlast NationalsWASHINGTON „ Joey Votto hit a two-run home run to end an 0-for-21 slump, Ian Gibaut pitched out of a jam in the sixth inning and Cincinnati beat Washington for its “ fth win in six games. Votto homered in the fourth o Jake Irvin, depositing the ball just inside the visiting bullpen in left-center “ eld and driving in Elly De La Cruz. Its his fourth home run in 12 games this season since returning in June. Luke Weaver (2-2) picked up the win by allowing two earned runs on six hits in “ veplus innings. He was spared a 10th consecutive no-decision „ or worse „ when Gibaut got through the sixth, allowing just one hit, striking out Corey Dickerson and inducing a ” yout from Derek Hill.

TODAY IN HISTORY TUESDAY, JULY 4, 2023 ASSOCIATED PRESSJames Rhoads of the National Archives prepares to cut a Bicentennial birthday cake in Washington Sunday, July 4, 1976 as thousa nds look on. Standing next to Rhoads is actor Glenn Taylor, dressed in colonial costumes, who read the Declaration of Independence during the ceremony. Today is Tuesday, July 4, the 185th day of 2023. There are 180 days left in the year. This is Independence Day.ON THIS DATEIn 1802, the United States Military Academy officially opened at West Point, New York. In 1826, 50 years to the day after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, former presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died. In 1831, the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe, died in New York City at age 73. In 1863, the Civil War Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi, ended as a Confederate garrison surrendered to Union forces. In 1910, in what was billed as The Fight of the Century,Ž Black world heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson defeated white former champ GentlemanŽ Jim Jeffries in Reno, Nevada. In 1912, the 48-star American flag, recognizing New Mexico statehood, was adopted. In 1939, Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees delivered his famous farewell speech in which he called himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.Ž In 1976, America celebrated its bicentennial with daylong festivities; President Gerald R. Ford made stops in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, Independence Hall in Philadelphia and New York, where more than 200 ships paraded up the Hudson River in Operation Sail. In 1987, Klaus Barbie, the former Gestapo chief known as the Butcher of Lyon,Ž was convicted by a French court of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life in prison (he died in September 1991). In 1995, the space shuttle Atlantis and the Russian space station Mir parted after spending five days in orbit docked together. In 2009, Serena Williams beat her big sister, Venus, 7-6 (3), 6-2 for her third Wimbledon title and 11th Grand Slam championship. In 2016, NASA received a radio signal from the solar-powered Juno spacecraft confirming that it was in orbit around the planet Jupiter after a trip of nearly five years and 1.8 billion miles.TEN YEARS AGOEgypts interim president, Adly Mansour, was sworn in following the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, the Islamist leader overthrown by the military after just one year in office. The Statue of Liberty reopened on the Fourth of July, eight months after Superstorm Sandy shuttered the national symbol of freedom. Bernadette Nolan, 52, a member of the singing sister act the Nolans who had a worldwide hit in 1979 with Im In The Mood For Dancing,Ž died in Surrey, England.FIVE YEARS AGOBritish police said two Britons who fell critically ill in the town of Amesbury were exposed to nerve agent Novichok, the same material used to poison a former Russian spy in a nearby area months earlier. A protest against U.S. immigration policy forced the evacuation of the Statue of Liberty on the Fourth of July, with a group unfurling a banner from the pedestal and a woman holding police at bay for hours after she climbed the base.ONE YEAR AGOA gunman on a rooftop opened fire on an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago, killing seven people and wounding more than 20 as hundreds of marchers, parents with strollers and children on bicycles fled in terror. U.S. said they had concluded that the bullet that killed veteran Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh was likely fired from an Israeli position. But they said the bullet was too badly damaged to reach an absolute determination, and that there was no reason to believeŽ she was deliberately targeted.TODAYS BIRTHDAYSActor Eva Marie Saint is 99.

YTD 1YR 3YR* 5YR*Markets closedThe major U.S. stock exchanges are closed today for the Independence Day holiday. The New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq market are scheduled to reopen for business tomorrow.Today Close-up on the FedInvestors will be looking for clues about the Federal Reserves interest rate strategy tomorrow. Thats when the central bank will release the minutes of last months meeting of Fed policymakers. At the meeting, the Fed decided to forgo another increase in its benchmark interest rate. The pause followed 10 straight hikes in 15 months. By leaving rates alone, the Fed hopes to use the extra time to more fully assess how higher borrowing rates have affected inflation and the economy.Manufacturing bellwetherThe governments latest snapshot of U.S. durable goods orders should provide insight on the health of the manufacturing sector. Orders to U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured durable goods, which are meant to last three years, rose 1.2% in April, a more modest gain than in March, when orders jumped 3.3%. Economists predict that Mays orders rose 1.7%, led by an increase in demand for aircraft and motor vehicles. The Commerce Department releases its May data on durable goods orders tomorrow.-3 0 3 6% M A M F J D 4.5 -1.3 3.3 1.2 est. 1.7 -2.7Durable goods orders seasonally adjusted percent changeSource: FactSet22 23 MONEY & MARKET$Page 3 www.yoursun.com
