As a father and pet owner, I know this is one of the worst tragedies you can imagine.ŽTodd Garrison North Port Police chief STAFF REPORTThe National Weather Service issued a heat advisory on Wednesday for most of Florida, including both Charlotte and Sarasota counties. The heat advisory will probably extend into Friday, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Rick Davis. Normal heat index temperatures in Florida usually ” uctuate between 95 to 100 degrees,Ž Davis said. Today, Venice is 111 degrees and Sarasota is 108 degrees with the heat index.Ž The heat advisory cautions against prolonged outdoor activities, and if the public has to be outside then frequent breaks are necessary in order to prevent heat related illnesses. Its extremely important to remain hydrated during these heat advisories,Ž Davis said. The longer you stay outside the higher the chances are of heat stroke.Ž According to the National Weather Service, heat stroke can include the following symptoms: Confusion Dizziness Unconsciousness If you see someone pass out then you need to quickly move them into a cool area and call 911,Ž Davis said. High heat indexes and record temperatures are likely due to high pressure systems. High pressure in the mid to upper atmosphere are suppressing clouds which causes sunny skies and low rainfall,Ž Davis said. High amounts of surface moisture are causing these above average heat indexes.Ž The National Weather Service expects Florida to feel some relief toward the end of the week when showers are more likely and help lower the heat index.Heat advisory issued for regionHot temperatures could continue until Friday, authorities state PHOTO BY JERRY D BEARDBeating the heat, a family on vacation from Missouri splashes in the water at Port Charlotte Beach Park Wednesday.

Hot temperatures and high humidity can cause illness. According to ready. gov/heat, symptoms of heat stroke include: € Extremely high body temperature (above 103 degrees F) taken orally € Red, hot and dry skin with no sweat € Rapid, strong pulse € Dizziness, confusion or unconsciousness It stated the importance of calling 911 or getting to a hospital if a person is suspected of suering heat stroke. Cool down however possible until help arrives. Do not give the person anything to drink. OTHER HEATRELATED ILLNESSES TO WATCH OUT FOR: € Heat cramps: Muscle pains or spasms in the stomach, arms or legs. € Heat exhaustion: Heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, fast or weak pulse, dizziness, headache, fainting, nausea, vomiting. WAYS TO KEEP COOL INCLUDE: € If air conditioning is not available in a home, go to a cooling center. € Take cool showers or baths. € Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing. € Use an oven less to help reduce the temperature in the home. € If outside, “nd shade. Wear a hat wide enough to protect the face. € Drink plenty of ”uids to stay hydrated. € Avoid high-energy activities or work outdoors, during midday heat, if possible. € Check on family members, older adults and neighbors. € Watch for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. € Consider pet safety.

Dont wear a mask if there is a feeling of overheating or having trouble breathing.HEATFROM PAGE 1A By MELINA WALLING and SETH BORENSTEINASSOCIATED PRESSThe planets temperature spiked on Tuesday to its hottest day in decades and likely centuries, and Wednesday could become the third straight day Earth unocially marks a record-breaking high. Its the latest in a series of climate-change extremes that alarm but dont surprise scientists. The globes average temperature reached 62.9 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday, according to the University of Maines Climate Reanalyzer, a common tool based on satellite data, observations, and computer simulations and used by climate scientists for a glimpse of the worlds condition. On Monday, the average temperature was 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit, setting a record that lasted only 24 hours. For scientists, its a sweaty case of I-told-you-so. A record like this is another piece of evidence for the now massively supported proposition that global warming is pushing us into a hotter future,Ž said Stanford University climate scientist Chris Field, who was not part of the calculations. On Wednesday, 38 million Americans were under some kind of heat alert, said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Sarah Kapnick. She said the global heat is from a natural El Nino warming of the Paci“c that heats up the planet as it changes worldwide weather on top of human-caused climate change from the burning of coal, oil and gas. Even normally cooler communities are feeling the heat. In North Grenville, Ontario, the city turned ice-hockey rinks into cooling centers as temperatures Wednesday hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with humidity making it making it feel like 100.4 degrees. I feel like we live in a tropical country right now,Ž city spokeswoman Jill Sturdy said. It just kind of hits you. The air is so thick.Ž THE RECORD HIGHS ARE UNOFFICIAL BUT SIGNIFICANT University of Maine climate scientist Sean Birkle, creator of the Climate Reanalyzer, said the daily “gures are unocial but a useful snapshot of whats happening in a warming world. Think of it as the temperature of someone whos ill, he said: It tells you something might be wrong, but you need longer-term records to work like a doctors exam for a complete picture. While the “gures are not an ocial government record, this is showing us an indication of where we are right now,Ž said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Sarah Kapnick. And NOAA indicated it will take the “gures into consideration for its ocial record calculations. Even though the dataset used for the unocial record goes back only to 1979, Kapnick said that given other data, the world is likely seeing the hottest day in several hundred years that weve experienced.Ž Scientists generally use much longer measurements „ months, years, decades „ to track the Earths warming. But the daily highs are an indication that climate change is reaching uncharted territory. JUST HOW HOT IS IT? With many places seeing temperatures near 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the new average temperatures might not seem very hot. But Tuesdays global high was nearly 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the 1979-2000 average, which already tops the 20thand 19th-century averages. High-temperature records were surpassed this week in Quebec and Peru. Beijing reported nine straight days last week when the temperature exceeded 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Cities across the U.S. from Medford, Oregon, to Tampa, Florida, have been hovering at all-time highs, said Zack Taylor, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Alan Harris, director of emergency management for Seminole County, Florida, said that theyve already exceeded last year in the number of days theyve had their extreme weather plan activated, a measure initiated when the heat index will be 108 degrees Fahrenheit or greater. Its just been kind of brutally hot for the last week, and now it looks like potentially for two weeks,Ž Harris said. In the U.S., heat advisories include portions of western Oregon, inland far northern California, central New Mexico, Texas, Florida and the coastal Carolinas, according to the National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center. Excessive heat warnings are continuing across southern Arizona and California.Tuesday set an unofficial record for the hottest day on Earth AP PHOTO/ANDY WONGA woman uses a sweater to shield from the sun Monday as she walks on a street on a hot day in Beijing.Wednesday may break it JULY4THSALE UPTO50%OFFSTOREWIDEENDSSUNDAYJULY9TH FO-32770256 OVER100CHAIRSONDISPLAY!Allat$300-$800offUNPRECEDENTED2YEARLEATHERWARRANTY Plus....LifetimeWarrantiesonthefollowing: 5251S.TamiamiTrail,Sarasota €MechanismWarranty €FoamWarranty €FrameWarranty €SuspensionWarranty HELD OVER PERMISSIONTOADVERTISEThefollowingupdateswereApprovedduringworkshoponMay23,2023,June13,2023,andJune27, 2023.Permissiontoadvertisetherevisions,deletions,and/oradditionsofthefollowingpolicies: Existingpoliciesproposedforaddition,deletionorrevisiontocurrentSchoolBoardPolicy: FloridaUpdateVol.22,No.2PolicyUpdate…March2022 po1120.11 …PreferenceforVeteransinEmployment(Revised), po1216 …DressandGrooming (Revised), po2260 …NondiscriminationandAccesstoEqualEducationalOpportunity(Revised), po2410 …SchoolHealthServices(Revised), po2520 …SelectionandAdoptionofInstructionalMaterials (Revised), po3120.11 …PreferenceforVeteransinEmployment(Revised), po3216 …StaffDressand Grooming(Revised), po4120.11 …PreferenceforVeteransinEmployment(Revised), po4216 …Staff DressandGrooming(Revised), po5511 …DressandGrooming(Revised), po5780 …Student/Parent Rights(Revised), po6110 …GrantFunds(Revised), po6114 …CostPrinciples…SpendingFederalFunds (Revised), po6322 …ConstructionContractingandBidding(Revised), po6325 …Procurement…Federal Grants/Funds(Revised), po6530 …ReemploymentAssistance(Revised), po8405 …SchoolSafety andSecurity(Revised), po8450.01 …ProtectiveFacialCoveringsDuringPandemic/EpidemicEvents (Revised), po9130 …PublicComplaints(Revised) FloridaPolicyUpdateSpecialUpdate…May/June2022 po1213 …StudentSupervisionandWelfare(Revised), po1590 …PersonnelFile(Revised), po2215 … ProgramofInstruction(Revised), po2410 …SchoolHealthServices(Revised), po2417 …Comprehensive HealthEducation(Revised), po3213 …StudentSupervisionandWelfare(Revised), po3590 …Personnel File(Revised), po4213 …StudentSupervisionandWelfare(Revised), po4590 …PersonnelFile(Revised), po5500 …StudentConduct(Revised), po5511 …DressandGrooming(Revised), po5780 …Student/ ParentRights(Revised), po8141 …MandatoryReportingofMisconduct(Revised) OtherPoliciesRequestedtoReview/Revise…May2023 po1430.03 …SickLeave(Revised), po3430.03 …SickLeave(Revised), po4430.03 …SickLeave(Revised) PurposeandEffect:Toupdatethepolicies,conformpoliciestocurrentlegislation,consolidatesimilar policiesonthesamesubject,eliminateredundantandobsoletelanguage,andmakepolicieseasierto “nd,understandanduse.Onceadopted,thenewpolicieswillbeelectronicallypublished,hyperlinked andkeywordsearchable.

The S&P 500 fell 8.77 points, or 0.2%, to 4,446.82 to drift lower from its highest level since April 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 129.83, or 0.4%, to 34,288.64, and the Nasdaq composite lost 25.12, or 0.2%, to 13,791.65. Other markets around the world fell more sharply following the latest discouraging signal from Chinas economy. Growth in Chinas services industry slowed by more than economists expected last month. Its the latest evidence showing the worlds second-largest economy is stumbling in its recovery following the removal of anti-COVID restrictions. The U.S. economy, meanwhile, has remained stronger than many investors feared. Its de“ed predictions for a recession because of a job market thats remained remar kably solid despite much higher interest rates meant to bring down in”ation.

PAGE 6A THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By SAMYA KULLABASSOCIATED PRESSKYIV, Ukraine „ Ukraine and Russia accused each other Wednesday of planning to attack one of the worlds largest nuclear power plants, but neither side provided evidence to support their claims of an imminent threat to the facility in southeastern Ukraine that is occupied by Russian troops. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been a focus of fear since Moscows forces took control of it early in the war. Ever since then, Moscow and Kyiv have traded blame for shelling the facility and accused each other of nuclear terrorism. Regular power outages resulting from shelling made it impossible to operate the plant safely, and its six reactors have been shut down to minimize the threat of a disaster. Over the last year, the U.N.s atomic watchdog repeatedly expressed alarm over the possibility of a radiation catastrophe like the one at Chernobyl after a reactor exploded in 1986. Ukraine has alleged more recently that Moscow might try to cause a deliberate leak in an attempt to derail Kyivs ongoing counteroensive in the surrounding Zaporizhzhia region. Ukrainian authorities accused Russia of blowing up a dam in southern Ukraine last month with a similar aim, while Moscow blamed Ukraine for its destruction. Citing the latest intelligence reports, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy alleged Tuesday night that Russian troops had placed objects resembling explosivesŽ on top of several of the plants power units to simulateŽ an attack from outside. Their detonation should not damage power units but may create a picture of shelling from Ukraine,Ž according to a statement from the general sta of Ukraines armed forces. The Associated Press reviewed high-resolution satellite imagery of the plant taken Monday and Wednesday. The photos showed no visible changes to the roofs of the six concrete containment domes covering the reactors at the plant, or nearby buildings. The International Atomic Energy Agency has ocials stationed at the Russian-held plant, which is still run by a Ukrainian sta that oversees crucial cooling systems and other safety features. The facilitys location in an area of intense “ghting has put it at the mercy of stray shells or rockets, and the Russia-ordered evacuation of hundreds of local people in May deepened the anxiety. The IAEA has tried in vain to forge a deal on a security zone around the plant. IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said his agencys most recent inspection of the plant found no activity related to explosives, but we remain extremely alert.Ž As you know, there is a lot of combat. I have been there a few weeks ago, and there is contact there very close to the plant, so we cannot relax,Ž Grossi said during a visit to Japan. Agency experts have requested additional access to the rooftops of two reactor units, as well as turbine halls and some parts of the cooling system at the plant to con“rm the absence of explosives. Our experts must be able to verify the facts on the ground. Their independent and objective reporting would help clarify the current situation at the site, which is crucial at a time like this, with uncon“rmed allegations and counter allegations,Ž Grossi said in a statement. In Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov raised the specter of a potentially catastrophicŽ provocation by the Ukrainian army at the nuclear plant, which is Europes largest. The situation is quite tense. There is a great threat of sabotage by the Kyiv regime, which can be catastrophic in its consequences,Ž Peskov said in response to a reporters question about the plant. He also claimed that the Kremlin was pursuing all measuresŽ to counter the alleged Ukrainian threat. Renat Karchaa, an adviser to Russian state nuclear company Rosenergoatom that controls the plant, said there was no basisŽ for Zelenskyys claims of a plot to simulate an explosion. Why would we need explosives there? This is nonsenseŽ aimed at maintaining tension,Ž Karchaa said Wednesday, according to the Interfax news agency.Ukraine, Russia accuse each other of planning to attack nuclear plant $0MONEYDOWN+LOWMONTHLY PAYMENTOPTIONSContactaGeneracdealerforfulltermsandconditionsPrepare forpower outagestodayWITHAHOMESTANDBYGENERATOR REQUESTAFREEQUOTECALLNOWBEFORETHENEXTPOWEROUTAGE(855)535-0945*Toqualify,consumersmustrequestaquote,purchase,installandactivatethe generatorwithaparticipatingdealer.Callforafulllistoftermsandconditions.FREE7-YearExtendedWarranty* …A$695Value! adno=3894189-1 To view todays legal notices and more visit, www.oridapublicnotices.com To view todays legal notices and more visit, www.oridapublicnotices.com Legal Notices 0 7/ 06 / 2023 FICTITIOUS NAME Notice Under Fictitious Name Law Pursuant to Section 865.09, Florida Statutes NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the undersigned, desiring to engage in business under the fictitious name of: R.T.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 PAGE 7A By ERIC TUCKERASSOCIATED PRESSWASHINGTON „ Former President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform what he claimed was the home address of former President Barack Obama on the same day that a man with guns in his van was arrested near the property, federal prosecutors said Wednesday in revealing new details about the case. Taylor Taranto, 37, who prosecutors say participated in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, kept two “rearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition inside a van he had driven cross-country and had been living in, according to a Justice Department motion that seeks to keep him behind bars. On the day of his June 29 arrest, prosecutors said, Taranto reposted a Truth Social post from Trump containing what Trump claimed was Obamas home address. In a post on Telegram, Taranto wrote: We got these losers surrounded! See you in hell, Podestas and Obamas.Ž Thats a reference to John Podesta, the former chair of Hillary Clintons 2016 Democratic presidential campaign. Taranto also told followers on his YouTube live stream that he was looking to get a good angle on a shot.Ž A federal defender representing Taranto did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment. His wife told investigators that he had come to Washington this time because of House Speaker Kevin McCarthys oer earlier this year to produce unseen video of the Jan. 6 attack, the federal detention memo states. Taranto already faces four misdemeanor counts related to the Capitol assault, when prosecutors say he joined the crush of rioters who broke into the building and made his way to the entrance of the Speakers Lobby outside the House chamber.Trump posted what he said was Obamas address, prosecutors sayAn armed man was soon arrested there By LOLITA C. BALDOR and TARA COPPASSOCIATED PRESSWASHINGTON „ The Pentagon on Wednesday announced plans to tighten protection for classi“ed information following the explosive leaks of hundreds of intelligence documents that were accessed through security gaps at a Massachusetts Air National Guard base. Airman 1st Class Jack Teixeira, 21, is accused of leaking the highly classi“ed military documents in a chatroom on Discord, a social media platform that started as a hangout for gamers. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, in a memo released Wednesday, ordered all of the departments secured rooms where classi“ed information is stored and accessed to be brought into compliance with intelligence community standards for oversight and tracking. The changes call for increased levels of physical security, additional controls to ensure documents arent improperly removed, and the assignment of top-secret control ocers to monitor users. A senior defense ocial who briefed reporters on the new directives said the department is trying to increase accountability, using technology that can better track what workers are doing and what information they are accessing. But at the same time, the ocial said, defense leaders dont want to impede the ability to share critical information across the government when necessary. Asked if the department is trying to limit the number of people who have access to classi“ed information, the defense ocial said it is an eort to ensure that the department is properly determining what information each person may access and making sure that employees have a need to know the classi“ed material they are reading. The ocial spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with Pentagon ground rules for the brie“ng. In the memo, Austin also said the sensitive compartmented information facilities, or SCIFs, must be monitored to prevent the use of electronic devices inside the rooms. That eort would include appropriate electronic device detection systems and mitigation measuresŽ inside the secure areas, according to the memo. According to authorities, Teixeira, who enlisted in the Air National Guard in 2019, began sharing military secrets “rst by typing out classi“ed documents and later by removing classi“ed documents from the base and taking them home to photograph them. Teixeira worked as a a cyber transport systems specialist,Ž essentially an IT specialist responsible for military communications networks, which gave him wide access to the militarys classi“ed computing networks. The case highlighted the potential vulnerabilities the department faces as it works to safeguard classi“ed information at military facilities across the globe that have varying security procedures and layers of protection, said the senior defense ocial. There wasnt a single point of failure,Ž the ocial added. Court “lings in Teixeiras case revealed that Air National Guard supervisors warned him at least three times about improper access to classi“ed information, but no further action to restrict his clearance or access was taken. The ocial said one of the concerns the department found in its review was that facilities that were farther from headquarters had ambiguity on some of the militarys classi“ed information policies, such as when a security violation was required to be reported higher up the chain of command. Teixeira pleaded not guilty last month to federal felony charges. The stunning breach exposed to the world unvarnished secret assessments of Russias war in Ukraine, the capabilities and geopolitical interests of other nations and other national security issues. It has led to sweeping security reviews looking at the large number of users who have access to top secret information, who is tracking them, and whether or not they have a need to know.Pentagon plans tighter controls to protect classified information AP FILE IMAGE/MARGARET SMALLThis artist depiction shows Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira, right, appearing on April 14 in U.S. District Court in Boston.

PAGE 8A THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and COLLEEN LONGASSOCIATED PRESSWASHINGTON „ Thirty shot, two fatally, at a block party in Baltimore. At least three killed and 10 wounded at an annual July Fourth bash in Louisiana. A 7-yearold shot dead in Tampa after two groups gathered along a causeway for Independence Day started to “ght. Nine others injured when bullets sprayed from a car in the nations capital. A rash of shootings as the U.S. celebrated the Fourth of July is spiking fears in communities across the country and highlighting the challenges police face in preventing such violence as temperatures warm and festivities move outside. Policing such events is a delicate balance for law enforcement, who must weigh the right of revelers to gather with the threat of violence that looms in public and private spaces in a nation awash with guns. In many ways, their hands are tied because these types of events are often on private property and people may not do anything to violate the law until someone brandishes a “rearm and starts shooting,Ž said Tom Nolan, who was a Boston police ocer for nearly three decades. So can the police do anything to prevent that? I just think its an extraordinary challenge for them to be all places at all times and anticipate things that none of us are expecting.Ž Violence often surges in the summer months, when teens are out of school and there are more social events that can quickly turn deadly when tempers ”are. Curfews for young people and increased police presence on the streets are among the strategies cities have historically used to try to combat summer violence. Police can prepare for parades and other large annual events by monitoring social media chatter ahead of time, requiring a law enforcement presence for permitted events and changing up their coverage plans depending on how many people are expected when. Ideally, police work with communities who want the protection. But its impossible for law enforcement to monitor every block party or holiday gathering. Vacations can also lead to police departments being thinly staed over holiday weekends and summer months, which means calls for loud music and other disturbances can get backed up while police deal with more pressing matters, Nolan said. During the time when their services are most in demand, they are stretched far more thinly than they would like to publicly admit,Ž said Nolan, who was a shift commander in the patrol division. The gun violence that ”ared this week in Washington, D.C, Louisiana, Florida, Philadelphia, Texas and Baltimore left more than a dozen dead and almost 60 wounded „ including children as young as 2 years old. The wave of killings came as the Chicago suburb of Highland Park was marking the anniversary of last years mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade that left seven people dead. Security was tight at events aimed at honoring those killed, and the day was capped by a drone show instead of “reworks to avoid the noise that could sound like gun“re. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemned the gun violence Wednesday, urging Congress to pass a ban on so-called assault weapons and placing blame on the proliferation of guns in the U.S. Lives are at stake here, folks. Lives are at stake in communities, the lives of our kids,Ž she said.Mass shootings over the Fourth of July highlights the challenges police face PHOTO BY THE SHREVEPORT TIMESAdditional bullet casings left are mared behind the morning press conference on Wednesday morning after a shooting in Shreveport, La. By MAJDI MOHAMMED and IMAD ISSEIDASSOCIATED PRESSJENIN, West Bank „ The Israeli military withdrew its troops from a militant stronghold in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, ending an intense two-day operation that killed at least 12 Palestinians, drove thousands of people from their homes and left a wide swath of damage in its wake. One Israeli soldier was also killed. The army claimed to have in”icted heavy damage on militant groups in the Jenin refugee camp in an operation that included a series of airstrikes and hundreds of ground troops. But it remained unclear whether there would be any longlasting eect after nearly a year and a half of heavy “ghting in the West Bank. Ahead of the withdrawal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to carry out similar operations if needed. At these moments we are completing the mission, and I can say that our extensive operation in Jenin is not a one-o,Ž he said during a visit to a military post on the outskirts of Jenin. We will eradicate terrorism wherever we see it and we will strike at it.Ž The Jenin raid was one of the most intense Israeli military operations in the West Bank since an armed Palestinian uprising against Israels openended occupation ended two decades ago. Since early 2022, Israel has been carrying out near daily raids in the West Bank in response to a series of deadly Palestinian attacks. It says the raids are meant to crack down on Palestinians militants and said they are necessary because the Palestinian Authority is too weak. The Palestinians say such violence is the inevitable result of 56 years of occupation and the absence of any political process with Israel. Israel struck the camp, known as a long-time bastion of Palestinian militants, early Monday in an operation it said was aimed at destroying and con“scating weapons. Big military bulldozers tore through alleyways, leaving heavy damage to roads and buildings, and thousands of residents ”ed the camp to seek safety with relatives or in shelters. People said electricity and water were knocked out. The army said the bulldozers were necessary because roads were boobytrapped with explosives. After troops left Wednesday morning, residents began emerging from their homes. They found streets lined by scorched and ”attened cars and piles of rubble.Israel withdraws troops from West Bank militant stronghold GetScreenedforRisksofStroke andCardiovascularDisease Areyouatrisk?

We looked at six programs that made similar jumps from mid-major conferences to major leagues in the last two decades. Only two posted better records in a tougher conference, though the long-term results are much more optimistic. Heres a historical look at the jump UCF is making after the Knights back-to-back nine-win seasons in the AAC. TCU Move: Mountain West to Big 12 in 2012 Before the change: TCU won at least 11 games in six of its seven seasons in the Mountain West. Gary Pattersons team went 11-2 the year before joining the Big 12 and hadnt lost a conference game in three years. First year in the major conference: The Horned Frogs went 7-6 overall with their “rst losing conference record in eight years. After consistently winning 11 games annually as a mid-major program, TCU won only 11 total over two years. After that: The Horned Frogs quickly recovered. They went 12-1 and narrowly missed the College Football Playo in Year 3. They have three other top-10 “nishes since joining the Big 12, including last years run to the CFP “nal. UTAH Move: Mountain West to Pac-12 in 2011 Before the change: The Utes posted double-digit victories “ve times in eight years under Urban Meyer and Kyle Whittingham. They also claimed three conference titles and won 26 of their last 30 league games. Utah went 10-3 overall the year before moving up.What can UCF fans expect from Knights first Big 12 season?

MLB MLB By STEPHEN WHYNOAP SPORTS WRITERWASHINGTON „ Elly De La Cruz walked through the clubhouse wearing a shirt with his face and nickname, La Cocoa,Ž on it. Sitting at his locker facing the rest of the room, Joey Votto joked to a nearby coach that he should let the kids play. The kids are playing, all right, and the Cincinnati Reds are winning as a result. Sparked by De La Cruz, the rookie sensation whose major league debut last month coincided with Cincinnatis season turning around, the Reds are rolling toward the All-Star break playing some of the best baseball in quite some time for the storied franchise. Theyre atop the NL Central and on pace to make the playos for just the second time in a decade, with a team full of young players who are having plenty of fun along the way. We have very good vibes going on,Ž De La Cruz said through an interpreter. It feels like everyones united and everyones just trying to help each other out.Ž Its working. The Reds are 20-6 since De La Cruz joined them on June 6. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound dreadlocked 21-year-old from the Dominican Republic has brought smiles in the dugout and production on the “eld. Through his “rst 25 games, he is batting .308 and has driven in 13 runs, launched three home runs, stole 10 bases and became Cincinnatis “rst player to hit for the cycle since 1989. Ellys playing great since hes been here, and thats helped us a lot,Ž said David Bell, now in his fourth season as Reds manager. Weve de“nitely played well since Ellys been here.Ž It also helps that Votto, the 2010 NL MVP and longtime face of the franchise, returned on June 19 after missing the previous 10 months while recovering from surgery to repair his left biceps and rotator cu. Now 39, Votto is feeling the best he has in well over a year. By MARK DIDTLERASSOCIATED PRESSST. PETERSBURG „ Taijuan Walker overcome early struggles to win his sixth consecutive start and the Philadelphia Phillies extended their road winning streak to 11 games with an 8-4 victory over the AL-leading Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night. Its the third-longest road winning streak in Phillies history, trailing a 13game run in 1976 and 12-game stretch that spanned the 1887 and 88 seasons. Tampa Bay has lost a season-high four in a row and 10 of 16 overall. Walker (10-3) allowed four runs and “ve hits, all in the “rst three of his seven-inning outing.

TENNIS: WIMBLEDON By HOWARD FENDRICHAP TENNIS WRITERWIMBLEDON, England „ The developments at Wimbledon on Wednesday included Novak Djokovic joining Roger Federer and Serena Williams as the only players in tennis history to win 350 Grand Slam matches; a runner-up two years ago, Karolina Pliskova, exiting in the “rst round against a quali“er; a player seeded No. 8, Maria Sakkari, taking the opening set 6-0 but managing to lose. Ho-hum. Those turned out to be among the least unusual happenings around the All England Club on Day 3 of this years tournament. Thats because so much of the buzz around the place concerned protests and, yes, rain. Three environmental activists were arrested for interrupting matches by making their way onto court to toss orange confetti „ hidden in boxes for 1,000-piece Centre Court puzzles sold at the tournament merchandise shops „ and attract attention to an anti-oil organization. Weve had enough disruptions with the weather,Ž four-time Wimbledon semi“nalist Tim Henman, a member of the board at the All England Club, said on the BBC broadcast, but to get a disruption like that is disappointing.Ž The showers that were so problematic on Tuesday returned Wednesday, limiting the hours available for competition and making everyone wait and wait and wait. Today was a bit weird in the beginning, because there was supposed to be no rain, then it started raining,Ž said No. 6 Holger Rune, who eliminated British wild-card entry George Lohagen 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-2 in a “rst-rounder that was originally supposed to be held Tuesday. It was a little bit frustrating at the end.Ž Consider: While four players who got to play at the two arenas with retractable roofs already are into the third round, including Djokovic and the No. 1 woman, Iga Swiatek, there remain 14 entrants who have yet to contest a single point in the “rst round. That latter group includes 2019 U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu, 2020 U.S. Open runner-up Alexander Zverev and Karolina Muchova, who lost to Swiatek in last months French Open “nal. For sure, its really comfortable,Ž Swiatek said after beating Sara Sorribes Tormo 6-2, 6-0 at Centre Court. Im happy that my matches were scheduled under the roof, so I always was certain that its going to actually happen. Its a little bit easier to prepare knowing that.Ž The others moving into the third round were Jannik Sinner and Daria Kasatkina.Djokovic and Swiatek win as rain continues to fallSEE RAIN , 10A SEE REDS , 12A SEE KNIGHTS , 11A SEE RAYS , 12A

Seeking a record-tying eighth Wimbledon championship, and record-tying “fth in a row, he was on Centre Court „ where hes won 41 times in a row „ and so did not need to deal with the sorts of stops and starts endured by players such as Americans Taylor Fritz, the No. 9 seed, and Frances Tiafoe, who is No. 10. Fritzs “rst-round match against Yannick Hanfmann of Germany was suspended midway through the “fth set all the way back on Monday and never resumed Tuesday. So Fritz did a lot of stewing until he “nally was able to get back on No. 2 Court to wrap up his 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 triumph. Its tough to kind of just be sitting on that, thinking about it for like two days. Youre potentially (with) 15 minutes left in a match at the very end of it, and for it to be a Grand Slam, “fth set, it kind of adds to it,Ž Fritz said. I spent most of the time sitting on the bench near my locker in the locker room, just like on my phone, like YouTube videos, whatever. Just killing time.Ž Tiafoe seemed a lot less fussed. He and Wu Yibing of China were originally due to play Tuesday, but began Wednesday. Tiafoe won 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-4. Its just laughable stu,Ž Tiafoe said. I ate a little bit, listened to music, cracked jokes with other players. Theres not really much to do. Its not like I can go catch a movie or something. I mean, theres not much going on. Just chilling, honestly.Ž One of the highlights of Tuesdays schedule „ 2020 U.S. Open champion Dominic Thiem vs. two-time major “nalist Stefanos Tsitsipas „ got through just 1 1/2 sets that afternoon and so turned into one of the highlights of Wednesdays schedule. Wound up going “ve sets and nearly four hours on No. 2 Court before Tsitsipas delivered one last forehand winner to close out his 3-6, 7-6 (1), 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (10-8) win. It was pretty stressful,Ž said Tsitsipas, who plays Andy Murray on Thursday. I wont lie.ŽRAINFROM PAGE 9A SOCCER: WOMENS WORLD CUP By ANNE M. PETERSONAP SPORTS WRITERJust as the United States appeared to solidify its front-line starters for the Womens World Cup, the team was thrown by the loss of Mallory Swanson to a knee injury. Swanson was injured in early April during an exhibition match against Ireland. She cried in pain as she went down and had to be carried o the “eld on a stretcher in Austin, Texas. The next day, the national team announced the news: Swanson had torn the patellar tendon in her left knee and required surgery. While no timeline was given for her recovery, the World Cup was happening just too soon for a comeback. Swanson was the teams leading scorer this year with seven goals and a six-game scoring streak, tied for fourth longest in team history. The 25-yearold forward had formed a solid front line with Sophia Smith and Alex Morgan. Swanson joined a long list of high-pro“le players who will miss the Womens World Cup. England, considered one of the contenders for the title, has been especially hard hit. CATARINA MACARIO UNITED STATES Macario, who plays for French club Lyon, tore the ACL in her left knee in June 2022 during the “nal match of the 2021-22 season. While there were hopes she could come back in time for the World Cup, she announced in May that she wouldnt be ready. The talented mid“elder, who was born in Brazil but moved to the United States as a child, has eight goals in 17 matches for the national team. Ill be cheering hard for my teammates at the World Cup, and I look forward to dedicating myself to “ght to earn a spot for what I hope will be a long future on the U.S. national team,Ž Macario said. FRAN KIRBY ENGLAND Kirby was injured while playing for Chelsea against West Ham on Feb. 9. After trying to rehabilitate the injury, it was determined that Kirby needed surgery and would miss the World Cup. Kirby has 17 goals in 65 appearances for England, starting all the teams games in the run to the Euro 2022 title. LEAH WILLIAMSON ENGLAND The Arsenal defender tore her ACL in April during a match against Manchester United and required surgery. She has appeared in 43 matches for England, and served as the captain for the squad that won Euro 2022. I had tears in my eyes and made peace with it the night it happened and since then I have been following the steps Im told to in order to best help myself in the short and long term,Ž Williamson said in an Instagram post. BETH MEAD ENGLAND Meads absence is yet another blow to England. There were hopes she might be back in time for the World Cup after an ACL injury in November. But England coach Sarina Wiegman con“rmed Mead wasnt ready when she announced the 23-player squad for the tournament. Im not willing to take that risk to push her too much and she gets injured again,Ž Wiegman said. We need to take care of players.ŽSwanson, Williamson among the top players sidelined GOLF WNBA By DOUG FERGUSONAP GOLF WRITERPEBBLE BEACH, Calif. „ Rose Zhang set the womens course record at Pebble Beach and hardly anyone noticed outside of her local caddie, Stanford teammates and college golf enthusiasts. Ten months later, Zhang walked toward the 17th green at Pebble Beach with three amateurs in the U.S. Womens Open and heads turned to look. And not just any heads. To her left were some three dozen U.S. Womens Open champions who had posed for a group photo, several of them in the World Golf Hall of Fame. Had it been anyone else, laughs and chatter might have continued. Zhang made them at least glance her way. Thats what the 20-yearold Zhang brings to this historic Womens Open, and perhaps to the LPGA Tour. She is two tournaments into her professional career, now facing the strongest test in womens golf, and she already is talked about as much as anyone at Pebble Beach. Michelle Wie West was in that group. She has become close to Zhang to the point someone suggested the former prodigy had become Zhangs mentor. She doesnt need any mentors. Shes got it,Ž Wie West said. Shes incredibly poised and has that inner con“dence, that inner silent con“dence in her that is just so incredible, and she is a real competitor. Im super excited for all the things that shes already accomplished in her few weeks as pro, and very excited to see whats in the future for her.Ž Wie West knows what its like to walk into a room, or walk across the putting green, and have everyone notice. She was 14 when she shot 68 in the Sony Open and missed the cut by one shot. She contended for LPGA majors before she was old enough to drive. There was an element of jealousy from the corporate deals and media coverage that came her way. Zhang drew attention for her trophies. She won the U.S. Womens Amateur and the U.S. Junior Girls, and back-toback NCAA titles, the last one giving her 12 college titles in 20 starts. And on the biggest stage with network television, she won the Augusta National Womens Amateur. And then she turned pro and beat a strong “eld at Liberty National in her “rst start. All this can be a lot to digest for someone who was still cleaning a dorm room at Stanford just over a month ago. Zhang appears to be dierent in so many ways. In the past month its been very crazy, hectic, but Ive been enjoying every moment,Ž she said Tuesday. Theres a lot more attention, a lot more media, but its kind of expected when you are doing well and when you are the rookie trying to go out here and play the best you can. So Ive just been taking everything in my stride.Ž By DOUG FEINBERGAP BASKETBALL WRITERBreanna Stewart knew where she wanted to go. Someone was in her way. During games, thats not a problem for the WNBA MVP. While boarding a commercial ”ight, its a bit trickier. On a recent connecting ”ight carrying the New York Liberty from Atlanta to Las Vegas, Stewart had to ask a man in the aisle seat to get up brie”y so she could contort her 6-foot-4 frame through the row before settling in her window seat as the passengers in line behind her patiently waited. The man politely complied, perhaps unaware that one of the best players in the womens game would be sharing his overhead bin space for the next four hours. Such is how it works for WNBA players. When ”ying, theyre just like everybody else. Unlike NBA teams that charter ”ights, WNBA teams primarily ”y commercial per the collective bargaining agreement. The league has said it would cost about $25 million to charter for the entire season or approximately $2 million per team. The Associated Press traveled last week with New York and got a “rsthand look at the experience. During their cross-country trek, the Liberty won at Connecticut on Tuesday night, appeared to run out of gas in a lopsided blowout loss at Las Vegas on Thursday and beat Seattle 81-66 on Sunday after a couple of days o. Stepping around people to get to her seat was part of a 13-hour day Wednesday for Stewart on the second leg of the road trip. It was an early day. Drop your bags o, get on the bus to go to the airport to transfer to Atlanta to get to Vegas,Ž Stewart told AP on a shuttle to Las Vegas baggage claim. Im tired.Ž The long day began around 6:30 a.m. with Stewart dragging her luggage down to the hotel lobby in Connecticut. All of the Libertys 65 checked bags had to be catalogued and loaded on a bus from Uncasville to Hartford for the teams 2,700-mile ”ight to Las Vegas „ including a brief layover in Atlanta. Stewart and her teammates dont ”y economy, but the seats are still tight. Players are in comfort seats or economy-plus to ensure extra leg room, per the CBA. That helps, but taller players like Stewart and her 6-6 teammate Jonquel Jones still “nd themselves in tight spaces sometimes. Not to mention 6-10 Han Xu, who wasnt on the road trip because she was playing with the Chinese national team in the Asia Cup. Now they can upgrade to “rst class „ on their own dimes.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 PAGE 11AFirst year in the major conference: Utah lost its “rst four Pac-12 games but “nished 8-5 overall after beating Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl. After that: The Utes have become one of the steadiest major programs in the nation. Theyve won back-to-back Pac-12 titles and “nished nationally ranked in six of the past eight seasons (excluding the 2020 COVID year). Utah will likely open the season against Florida as a top-15 team. LOUISVILLE Moves: Conference USA to Big East in 2005; AAC to ACC in 2014 Before the change: The Cardinals lost only one game each in their last season in Conference USA and their only season in the AAC. They won a conference title in three of their last four seasons before moving up to the Big East (which was then a power conference) and “nished 15th nationally before moving up to the ACC. First year in the major conference: Louisville dipped both times. The Cardinals went 9-3 in their “rst season in the Big East and 9-4 in Year 1 in the ACC. After that: Charlie Strong „ who later became USFs coach „ helped Louisville become attractive enough for the ACC to grab. The Cardinals have been a mixed bag in that league with a pair of top-25 “nishes and Lamar Jacksons Heisman Trophy but three losing seasons in the last “ve years. CINCINNATI Move: Conference USA to Big East in 2005 Before the change: The Bearcats hit a seven-win ceiling in the early 2000s and “nished 7-5 under Mark Dantonio just before moving up. The highlight: a shared league title in 2002. First year in the major conference: Cincinnati regressed to 4-7 overall and 2-5 in the conference. After that: The Bearcats won at least 10 games in “ve of their next seven seasons and won four league titles in the Big East before it imploded. Cincinnati then became one of the nations premier mid-major programs in the AAC, breaking through to the 2021 playo, and has made the Big 12 move alongside UCF. RUTGERS Move: AAC to Big Ten in 2014 Before the change: The Scarlet Knights were a regular bowl team in the Big East before it split, then went 6-7 in their lone season in the AAC. First year in the major conference: Rutgers improved to 8-5 overall in its “rst year in the Big Ten while retaining a 3-5 conference record. After that: Rutgers has become one of the worst major programs and hasnt “nished with a winning record since. The team has 10 conference wins over its last eight seasons. USF Move: Conference USA to Big East in 2005 Before the change: The upstart program had success as an independent and was 11-11 overall with an 8-8 league record in two seasons in Conference USA. First year in the major conference: Jim Leavitts Bulls improved from four wins to six, including a 31-point upset of No. 9 Louisville. After that: The Bulls had their famous ascent to No. 2 in the country in 2007 but never “nished ranked in their Big East tenure. They posted a 22-34 league record in that conference and remain in the AAC, which formed from the Big Easts collapse.KNIGHTSFROM PAGE 9A CYCLINGLARUNS, France (AP) „ The “rst mountain stage of the Tour de France produced a new race leader on Wednesday and “rmly indicated that defending champion Jonas Vingegaard has the upper hand in his duel with two-time winner Tadej Pogacar. On his Tour de France debut, former Giro dItalia champion Jai Hindley took the yellow jersey after winning the 162.7-kilometer (100.9-mile) “fth stage that also included a daunting 15.2-kilometer (9.4-mile) grind up Col de Soudet. Vingegaard made the most of the brutal climb of Marie-Blanque, the third and last ascent of the day, to launch a sharp attack that was left unanswered by Pogacar. He was just stronger today,Ž Pogacar said. Vingegaard moved into second place in the general classi“cation, 47 seconds behind Hindley. Pogacar was sixth overall, 1 minute, 40 seconds back. Previous leader Adam Yates, a teammate of Pogacar, dropped to “fth. Hindley was part of an early breakaway and became the “rst Australian leader of the race since Rohan Dennis back in 2015. I was surprised when I was part of the break, and the bunch didnt really react,Ž Hindley said. We decided to start working in the group and just have fun. Initially my idea was to just get a buer to the other general classi“cation guys.Ž Vingegaard perfectly timed his attack after American teammate Sepp Kuss imposed a fast and exhausting tempo that took its toll on Pogacar, who found out after the “nish that his girlfriend had crashed during the womens Giro in Italy, and may have suered a concussion. Its a bit more of a sad news than losing 50 seconds to Jonas, or 1 minute,Ž Pogacar said. Vingegaard stopped short of celebrating, perfectly aware that the Tour is a three-week race of attrition full of twists and turns. I know Tadej, he never gives up,Ž Vingegaard said. It will be a “ght all the way to Paris.Ž Hindley, who rides for the Bora-Hansgrohe team, was part of a 36-man group that managed to escape from the pack early on. Following several moves from other contenders including Wout van Aert and Julian Alaphilippe, Hindley attacked 4 kilometers before the Marie-Blanque summit. On the Soudet I started thinking about a stage win, at the bottom of the climb I also saw my parents which was really special and emotional,Ž Hindley said. When I attacked, everything went so fast, I knew I had a good chance, but I only started really believing on the home straight.Ž After cresting “rst, Hindley went all in, averaging 55.8 kph (34.6 mph) from the top of the mountain to the “nish, with a maximum speed of 82.9 kph (51.5 mph) in the downhill. Giulio Ciccone was second, 32 seconds o the pace, with Felix Gall completing the stage podium. Vingegaard crossed the “nish line 34 seconds behind, with Pogacar struggling 1 minute, 38 seconds adrift. Vingegaard dethroned Pogacar last year and arrived in top form to defend his title. Pogacar, who rides for UAE Team Emirates, was untouchable earlier this year but a crash two months ago that left him with a broken wrist requiring surgery has hampered his preparations for the Tour. The high mountains have spoken the truth,Ž UAE team principal Mauro Gianetti said. Vingegaard is at the top and Tadej has yet to reach his best. It was only the “fth stage, hopefully we will improve, there is a lot of work to do.Ž Pogacar will need to recover quickly since Thursdays sixth stage is even more brutal, featuring three big climbs including a mountain-top “nish.Hindley wins Tour mountain stage as Pogacar loses ground AP PHOTO/THIBAULT CAMUSJai Hindley crosses the nish line to win the fth stage of the Tour de France on Wednesday in Laruns, France.

Guys are young, energized, motivated. Winning, of course, but it has a lot to do with the personalities in the clubhouse.

THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM Local News By BARB RICHARDSONSUN CORRESPONDENTSARASOTA „ Property values in Sarasota County didnt quite reach the 15% increase predicted by some county commissioners, but they were still higher than the initial estimate in early June. That preliminary estimate predicted an increase of just over 13%, but the “nal tabulation was well higher. Ahead of a July 1 deadline, Property Appraiser Bill Furst released his report on the “nal property values in the county, showing the had increased to $94.2 billion, or 14.2% higher than the $84.2 billion certi“ed for 2022. Just as it was for the county, the “nal taxable value for the county school board was even higher than the countys at an eye-popping $107.9 billion, an increase of 14% over 2022s certi“ed value of $94.7 billion. Final taxable valuations in North Port remained the same as the preliminary estimate of $8.5 billion according to the report. That was an increase of almost 17% over the $7.3 billion “nal certi“ed value for 2022. Final property values in Venice also remained the same as shown in the preliminary report, coming in at $6.6 billion, a 14% increase over 2022s $5.7 billion “nal certi“ed values. The release of those “nal values will now allow the county to prepare a Truth in Millage statement that will be sent to property owners in August telling them what to expect in their property tax bill. County commissioners will set the not-to-exceed millage rate on July 11. That rate is expected to be set at 3.35 mills, a tiny bit higher than the 3.34 mills that has been the rate for the last eight years. Each mill represents $1,000 of taxable value. The small increase is needed to cover the debt service on the Legacy Trail bonds which voters approved in 2018.

At their Wednesday meeting, council members voted 4-1, with Lockhart dissenting, to deny a temporary use permit allowing a storage container at 1661 Via Dolce Vita in Punta Gorda to help the company restoring city seawalls. Dozens of seawalls need to be replaced and many repaired after Hurricane Ian hit Punta Gorda on Sept. 28. The citys seawall contractor, RJ Gorman, put the container on vacant property as a staging area for seawall construction. The actual work will be done from a barge. However, according to the temporary use permit that went before the council for consideration, the container is a more secure siteŽ to store small tools and materials, and view plans and maps of the ongoing construction project.

Laughing, of course, as he said it,Ž she wrote in an email to The Daily Sun . As the two reached the far end of the beach, they received an emergency call tone „ which meant they now had to walk all the way back to their patrol car at the boat ramp. Sacco responded by laughing as he ran, cursing at me as politely as he could,Ž according to Hartt-Carman. Al was a gentleman, the squad comedian, always pleasant to be around and his smile was contagious.Ž Donna Roguska, another former superior, said that for all his humor, Sacco was also ready to go the extra mile for a resident in need. She shared the story of a Christmas Eve call, where their squad responded to a reported death. An elderly woman had died at home, survived by her husband. After deputies completed the investigation and removed the body from the home, Sacco asked Roguska if he could stay behind with the husband for a while. (Sacco) felt that he needed someone to be there since they had no immediate family and it was Christmas Eve,Ž Roguska said. She approved his request, and he promptly checked in later that night to resume his patrol. The following day, on Christmas, Sacco left home early for his shift. Before then, however, he delivered dinner to the surviving husband and stayed for a few minutes to check on him. Sacco would swing by the residence for the next few weeks to check in with him. His compassion for people came out in small ways such as this,Ž Roguska said. May he rest in peace.Ž Sacco retired in December, two months short of his 30th anniversary with CCSO. His retirement was described as reluctantŽ and brought on by an ongoing medical issue.Ž One of his colleagues shared that he had previously been a cancer survivor, having gone into remission in the mid-90s.

Workers are permitted seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on any city job site. The council gave the contractor two weeks to remove the container. Lockhart asked for 30 days, but no other members agreed. ANOTHER NO VOTE Punta Gorda attorney Michael P. Haymans requested a variance for his client to build a pool and a deck. He explained without a 2.68-foot waiver of the citys code, the pool cage may have to be built starting in the kitchen area of the Gill Street home. He asked for a variance for a 12.38-foot rear setback of the rear yard instead of the citys required 15-foot rear yard of the 1950s home. It was something City Council member Bill Dryburgh thought was reasonable after visiting the property before the meeting. However, the four other council members disagreed and voted against it. We are being very heavy handed here,Ž Dryburgh said. We are moving it three and a half feet. I looked at it. I just dont see the problem.Ž Haymans said his client has an autoimmune disease. With malaria occurring in Sarasota, the next county over, my client needs the pool cage because she has an autoimmune disease which is a risk factor for malaria,Ž he said. She cant be in the sun much because it causes ”are ups in her skin from an autoimmune condition. Shed like a pool but she couldnt have a cage (without changing the required setback).Ž Mayor Lynne Matthews said she didnt approve the code waiver because it didnt meet the citys criteria. Im sorry she has autoimmune condition,Ž Matthews said. It (the waiver request) doesnt meet “ve of the eight criteria.Ž Matthews said the pool could be con“gured into the current code. She said just because others had nonconforming structures didnt mean the board should set a precident. We cant do it because its a nice thing to do,Ž she said. We have to go by facts and information presented at a hearing.Ž Vice Mayor Melissa Lockhart asked if the pool would be built without the variance. Haymans said the pool would have to be smaller than proposed. Lockhart said that meant the pool could be built without needing a variance. There are rules for a reason,Ž she said. We have to go by the criteria.Ž In other business: € The council approved the contract for legal services with David Levin of the law “rm Icard, Merrill, Cullis, Timm, Furen & Ginsburg for $165 an hour. € Approved a lease agreement with the Peace River Wildlife Center in Punta Gorda.

PAGE 4B THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com OUR VIEWLocal schools test scores just okayOUR POSITION: The “rst statewide student test scores under the newly created Florida Assessment of Student Thinking program showed most of our area schools ranking above average, but average is not what they aspire to be.When the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking test scores were revealed recently we saw some good news for local school districts, but a clear indication there is work to be done. Charlotte and Sarasota counties ranked above the state averages for math, reading and other subjects, and thats good news. DeSoto County, however, continues to lag behind and while that has historically been the case, we believe there is a lot of room for improvement there. Even though Charlotte and Sarasota did better than average, both school districts have touted their desire to be No. 1 in the state. These new scores indicate both have a long way to go to challenge the top school districts. Some examples of area school districts performance include: € In English Language Arts, the state average is 50% of third-graders testing at or above grade level at the end of the school year. Sarasota County showed 61% at that level and Charlotte County logged 52%. DeSoto County had 33% at grade level or better. € Overall, in math, 61% of Sarasota County students in grades 3-8 were at or above grade level, with the state average at 56%. Charlotte County results showed 58% of students in grades 3-8 at or above grade level. Only 39% of DeSoto County students were at grade level. € In reading scores for all grade levels tested „ grades 3-10 „ Charlotte County tested 52% at grade level, while Sarasota County had 59%. St. Johns County was Floridas highest in reading scores assessment, turning in an impressive 71% at or above grade level. The gap in the performance by Sarasota (59%) and Charlotte (52%) compared to St. Johns, typically one, if not the, highest rated districts in the state, makes clear the challenge our schools face to be No. 1. Sarasota County School Board has selected Terrence Connor as the districts new superintendent and Charlotte County has hired Mark Vianello. Both hires appear to be good choices and both men professed to set a goal of being No. 1 in the state. Meanwhile, in DeSoto County, the struggle to earn better statewide scores will always be dicult in a rural district with limited funds and a number of students who speak English as a second language. Still, we believe all three school districts have the desire and the ability to do better. Meanwhile, we cant criticize our local districts and let the state o the hook. Gov. Ron DeSantis has poured millions into the education budget the last two years but the cash has not resulted in better performance. How can Floridians be proud that all the school districts in the state had only 50% of third graders reading at that level? Are we okay that only 56% of our students met the requirements in math for their grade level? The Florida Department of Education, in a written statement, said: For 2023-2024 and beyond, scores will be reported on a new scale after the State Board of Education adopts new student achievement expectations in fall of 2023.Ž Supposedly, next years test results will give a clearer picture of where we stand. We expect the performance to improve. We should override electric vehicles vetoE:The Florida Legislature should override the governors ludicrous veto of the bill supporting state purchase of EVs that was nearly unanimously approved by the Legislature. DeSantis provided no explanation. This is seemingly incomprehensible. The bill wouldve greatly reduced the long-term cost of ”eet ownership, not to mention protect our environment. The veto hurts Florida taxpayers and lungs. I suggest state ocials test drive an EV. My Tesla Model 3 is the most marvelous car I have ever owned. Perhaps that veto was an oddly twisted presidential campaign gambit opposing EVs because DeSantis potential presidential opponents support them. Our nations founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves. State ocials need to properly serve their Florida constituents rather than join in juvenile national level games. C R Babcock RanchBiden is working for usE:President Joe Biden is getting the job done for average Americans. Unemployment is under 4%; manufacturing jobs, according to organizations such as American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), are returning to the United States: in”ation continues to go down: U.S. employment, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is expected to increase by 8.3 million jobs in the coming years; gas prices continue to decline. The list goes on and on. What is astonishing is that Bidens team is accomplishing these results while cap ably managing a myriad of international issues such as the recent uprising in Russia. We should count our blessings that we have a person in the White House who is working for all of us. R V Port CharlotteFair reporting?E:A half-page was dedicated to why Trump should not be a candidate because of charges dealing with documents. Nothing has been published about why Biden should not be a candidate. How about receiving millions from Communist countries, in”uence peddling, and poor mental and physical health? My family and the country is much worse since Biden took oce. A M Port Charlotte PUBLISHER Glen Nickerson COMMENTARY EDITOR John HackworthViewpoint New data from an experimental drug being developed by Eli Lilly & Co. raises an intriguing question about obesity treatments: How low can the weight loss go? For a subset of patients in a mid-stage study of retatrutide, the answer seems to be very, very low. Most people in a study published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine lost nearly a quarter of their body weight, with a subset shedding more than 30% after 48 weeks on a high dose of the drug. The doctors running the trial said some people had yet to plateau,Ž suggesting they might shed even more pounds. These numbers are, frankly, mind-blowing. It was only two years ago that Novo Nordisk rewrote the narrative on weightloss drugs, which for decades had oered very little bene“t and too many side eects, when it showed that people taking Wegovy could lose roughly 15% of their body weight. Then, last year, observers were astonished when Lillys tirzepatide elicited nearly 20% weight loss in a Phase 3 study. Now, Lillys latest drug has set the bar for weight loss even higher. Of course, the retatrutide data „ both its ecacy and safety „ need to be con“rmed in a larger trial. But for people with a BMI of 35 or more, that potential level of weight loss could virtually eliminate the need for bariatric surgery,Ž BMO Capital Markets analyst Evan Seigerman said in a note to investors. Its clear that were in entirely new territory when it comes to manipulating our metabolism. Scientists are increasingly learning how to harness the intricate interplay between our brain and our gut. And Lillys drug is providing early clues about what that could eventually mean for societys health. Retatrutides performance seems to come from its unique way of tinkering with the hormones that control our appetite. Like Wegovy, retatrutide mimics a hormone called GLP-1, which helps to control blood sugar levels by signaling the secretion of insulin after eating. And like tirzepatide, the drug also potently mimics a second hormone involved with insulin secretion called GIP. But retatrutide also stimulates a third hormone, the glucagon receptor, which unlike GLP-1 and GIP is found in the liver „ an addition that could be driving some of the drugs bene“ts. Indeed, signi“cant weight loss isnt the only reason people are excited about the drugs early data. As Ive written in the past, obesity medicines still need to prove they can have a positive impact on patients health. On that front, Lillys drug is already hitting some key metrics. For example, treatment with retatrutide led to a 20% reduction in LDL, or badŽ cholesterol, double the improvement typically seen with other GLP-1 drugs. And higher doses of retatrutide lowered levels of fat in the liver by over 80%. Liver disease is so common in people with Type 2 diabetes that the American Diabetes Association recently recommended that all Type 2 diabetics be screened for it. And a small portion of people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease go on to develop a more serious condition called NASH, where accumulation of scar tissue eventually prevents the liver from properly functioning. The hope is that the right weightloss drug could tackle obesity, diabetes and liver disease all at once. While larger studies still need to be run, its looking a lot like retatrutide might be the one to take on that triple threat.

Daily Break THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM By KATHY WITT TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE TNSAn embalmers technical reference handbook „ and the machine that accompanies it. The exquisitely sculpted ballerina from Black SwanŽ standing en pointe. And a mythical harbinger of doom that evolved into the centerpiece of an annual festival attended by 20,000 people from around the world. Besides the luxury-level experience, genuinely friendly crew and outstanding cuisine, one of the biggest draws of a river excursion with American Queen Voyages is the unexpected surprises on the itinerary. As the vessel calls at one charming river town after another, a mix of highlights „ museums, bustling markets, scenic parks, historic homes, Main Street shopping „ oer variety and allure. The speci“c attractions of a given destination are detailed during a daily port review, and all are included as part of the lines guided hop-on, hop-o tours. Especially intriguing are discoveries aboard the American Countess Ohio River voyage between Louisville, Kentucky, and Pittsburgh that include a taboo topic, a creature from the paranormal realm and one of the worlds “nest collections of miniatures. ITS A SMALL WORLD No matter your age, your inner child will be hooked upon seeing the world-class “ne art collection, numbering more than 15,000 pieces and in 1/12-scale, in Maysville, Kentucky, a picture-postcard river town whose downtown is lined with yesteryear architecture punctuated by church steeples. The Kathleen Savage Browning Miniatures Collection at the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center is an extraordinary sight to behold. Wander through the Palladian-style gallery “lled with miniature houses, room boxes and vignettes, each showcasing exquisite and historically accurate re-creations right down to the tiny accessories, like a pair of vintage roller skates and a key to tighten them, building materials such as bricks on the Russell Theaters exterior and authentic carpets made on real looms. In the Lincoln Herndon Law Oce,Ž the artisan room box replicates the oce Abraham Lincoln shared with his partner, right down to the miniscule handwritten documents scattered across the desktop. The necklaces, bracelets and baubles in the Savage & Sons JewelersŽ room box are made with authentic gold, gems and crystals. Tiny copper pots and pans hang from the wall in the kitchen of Le Plaisir De Venice,Ž and itty-bitty puppets dance at the end of strings held by the toymaker in McTavish Toys & Fairy Garden.Ž The collections pièce de résistance is the re-creation of Spencer House, the magni“cent 18th century aristocratic palace and ancestral home of Princess Diana. Three ”oors showcase the “ne furnishings and decorative arts objects that are true to the mid-1700s era and the exterior replicates the homes neoclassical architecture. RUN, DONT WALK: ITS MOTHMAN! What stands 6 feet tall, has wings, two big red eyes six inches apart and glides along behind an auto at 100 miles an hour?Ž asked reporter Mary Hyre in a November 1966 newspaper article. Hyre was covering the spectral sighting of a creature that became known as the Mothman, “rst seen hovering over an abandoned government World War II ammunition manufacturing facility „ dubbed the TNT area „ north of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and later dubbed a harbinger of doom. Coverage of Mothman sightings held the nation in its grip for more than a year. Every time the winged creature was spotted, tragedy seemed to follow in its wake, including the Silver Bridge collapse 10 days before Christmas in 1967, which resulted in the deaths of 46 people. The sightings spawned dozens of newspaper articles; a New York Times bestselling book, The Mothman Prophecies,Ž written by journalist and UFOlogist John A. Keel; the 2002 movie of the same name, starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney; and a 2017 documentary, The Mothman of Point Pleasant.Ž The legend of the Mothman is recounted at the worlds only Mothman Museum. Memorabilia includes a recreation of Harris Steakhouse, considered a time capsule of 1960s Point Pleasant, which would eventually become known as the Mothman Diner. The museums small theater runs the documentary on a loop. Outside, a 12-foot-tall, polished steel sculpture of Mothman standing atop a landscaped pedestal shows o his claws and glowing red eyes. And every third week in September, 20,000-plus visitors from around the world converge on Point Pleasant for the Mothman Festival (www.mothmanfestival. com). KEEP EXERCISING. WE CAN WAIT. A little gallows humor framed and hanging on the wall of the garage greets those arriving at the Peoples Mortuary Museum. Tucked in a residential neighborhood in Marietta, Ohio, it was one of the most unexpected stops on American Countess itinerary „ and a real eye-opener for those who braved a visit. The museum began as a place for William Peoples, current owner of and a funeral director at Cawley & Peoples Funeral Home, to store his antique car collection. Peoples had a particular interest in hearses, and several of them are parked in the museum among the caskets, funeral equipment and clothing, mourning jewelry and other artifacts. The collection dates back to the late 1800s, when funerals were typically held in private homes and the collections ice box con would have been the casket of choice. (Embalming wasnt yet the customary practice.) An infants con illustrates the design „ narrow at the feet and wider at the shoulders „ that got it dubbed the toe pincher.Ž It is “tted with a small removable cover for viewing and fancy hardware, including ornamental screws and handles, to allow a more personal touch to the con. Also in the collection are a Sayers & Scovill Horse-Drawn Hearse from 1895, a 1934 Studebaker Presidential Hearse and a 1927 Henney Hearse called Miss HenneyŽ that has appeared in several Hollywood movies, including Woody Allens Radio Days,Ž Neil Simons Brighton Beach MemoirsŽ and Get Low,Ž a 2009 movie with Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek and Bill Murray.See Mortuary Museum and Mothman on American Countess adventureThe best part of river excursions are unexpected surprises on the itinerary PHOTOS BY KARAN KISERAmerican Queen Voyagess 245-passenger American Countess is a paddlewheel boat with contemporary design.

PAGE 6B THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com LOS ANGELES TIMES DAILY CROSSWORD EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS Rating: GOLD JANRIC CLASSIC SUDOKU NEWSDAY CROSSWORD EDITED BY STANLEY NEWMAN SHIFTY By Aaron Ullman MARMADUKE By Brad Anderson By KATIE WALSH TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICECrazy Rich AsiansŽ screenwriter Adele Lim swings for the fences with her directorial debut, Joy Ride,Ž and knocks it out of the park with this rowdy, raucous comedy about a search for identity and “nding yourself in friendship. Hilariously daring, deeply moving, and stereotype-busting in equal measure, Joy RideŽ is also the raunchiest movie to most likely make you shed a tear. Broadway and Emily in ParisŽ superstar Ashley Park plays Audrey, who was adopted from China as a baby by white American parents (Annie Mumolo and David Denham). She and her bestie Lolo (Sherry Cola) have been fast friends since the day her parents sought out the only Asian family on the playground, and the odd couple have been a “ercely loyal pair ever since: Audrey the uptight, high-achieving lawyer, Lolo the loutish layabout artist committed to her body positiveŽ mission statement. The duo head to China for Audreys business trip, where she hopes to lock down an important business deal and make partner. Lolos along for the ride as her Chinese translator, but with Lolo around, anything can happen, including her BTS-obsessed cousin Deadeye (Sabrina Wu) tagging along for the ride. Theyre also planning to meet up with Audreys college friend Kat (Stephanie Hsu), now a massive Chinese movie and TV star. What could go wrong? In the outrageously heightened world of Joy RideŽ„ everything. The girls end up on a harrowing journey into rural China to “nd Audreys birth mother, tangling with a drug smuggler (Meredith Hagner), romping with a mens basketball team, and posing as a K-pop group along the way (which results in an international scandal). RIDICULOUS SITUATIONS The situations in Joy RideŽ are so ridiculous that one must abandon any notions of real-world rationale in order to simply ride along with the movies funny and twisted internal logic. Its remarkable what Lim, and her co-writers Cherry Chevapravatdumrong and Teresa Hsiao, manage to achieve in just 95 minutes, and how theyre able to intermingle both the poignant and the prurient, thanks to their cast, who is up for anything and everything. Hsu, recently Oscarnominated for her role in Everything Everywhere All At OnceŽ demonstrates her gift for physical comedy, as well as her willingness to embrace every silly shenanigan Lim tosses in the direction of Kat, a woman desperately trying to maintain her prim celebrity image in spite of the chaos and temptation swirling around her. In Joy Ride,Ž Lim explores transnational adoptee identity and the Asian-American experience with speci“city and humor, but she also doggedly chips away at insidious Asian and Asian-American stereotypes through bawdy body humor, throwing her heroines into transgressive situations in which they must adapt. Drug mule needs to hide the stash? No problem. Stuck in a hotel with a team of hot athletes for a night? Everyones getting theirs, in their own way. This is a foursome of distinct women with their own desires, issues and autonomy, as well as their own sexual agency and appetites. Nothing is taboo or o-limits in Joy Ride,Ž and the quartet of actors take to these liberated roles with an energetic gusto. Park and Hsu clearly shine on screen, but Cola and Wu hold their own, and add a unique tone thats necessary for this groups multi-faceted dynamic. Wu brings a charming blend of puppyish energy and alien androgyny to the ever-surprising Deadeye, while Colas laidback, take-no-prisoners attitude proves to be the appropriate foil for the perfectionist Audrey. On this wild ride, somehow Audrey manages to “nd what shes been looking for„herself. And she “nds it, not only in Asia, but in the person who has seen her for who she is all along: her best friend. Its a truly touching message after this incredibly funny, and yes, shocking, journey. It would be a pleasure to watch these four get into another misadventure anytime. Joy RideŽ is in theaters July 7.Joy Ride is a delightful mix of poignant and prurientIts the raunchiest movie to most likely make you shed a tear LIONSGATE/ED ARAQUELSabrina Wu as Deadeye, Ashley Park as Audrey, Sherry Cola as Lolo, and Stephanie Hsu as Kat in Joy Ride.Ž

ROACH: As a 72-year-old man with mildly elevated blood pressure (averaging 135/77), I'm very interested in lowering my blood pressure without resorting to medications. My research reveals that virtually all blood pressure medications have considerable side effects, and physicians often prescribe more than one. My weight is appropriate for my height (184 pounds; 6 feet, 3 inches tall). I mainly eat a plant-based diet and do science-based weight training three times a week as well as cardio three times a week. I also stay active with hiking, climbing and skiing. Recently, I've begun doing inspiratory muscle training (IMT). With IMT, you inhale through a device that restricts air”ow, to make inhaling more challenging. This is done once a day for 30 inhalations. Although this technique has a bogus ring to it, there seems to be credible studies that suggest it has merit in improving blood pressure, as well as bene“ting one's endothelial health and overall cardiovascular well-being. What are your thoughts on IMT? „ Anon. ANSWER: Several studies have now shown that 5 minutes of IMT, done “ve to seven days a week, reduces blood pressure by about 7 mmHg systolic and 2 mmHg diastolic in people with elevated blood pressure. The improvements in blood pressure started to occur within two weeks. The C-reactive protein, a measure of in”ammation, decreased in participants of the study who underwent IMT. Additionally, as you correctly state, there were other bene“ts seen by sophisticated tests on the cells lining the blood vessels (the endothelium), those of which have unclear bene“ts to living humans. These are not large bene“ts, but they are in the range of what we typically “nd with some blood pressure medicines and are enough to reduce heart disease and stroke risk in many trials. At the very least, this may allow some people to be treated with fewer medications or at lower dosages. While I agree with you that it seems almost too good to be true, the evidence so far is that there is bene“t without much cost. DEAR DR. ROACH: Regarding your column in response to iron de“ciency possibly caused by drinking tea, I was wondering if that only applied to caffeinated tea and coffee? I drink lots of herbal iced tea with no sweeteners. „ A.V. ANSWER: No, it's the tannins in tea, not the caffeine, that decrease absorption of iron. I wish I had emphasized in the initial column that tea does not inhibit the absorption of iron in the form of heme, found in meat, which is where most Americans get most of their iron. Tannins reduce absorption of non-heme iron, found in whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and leafy greens. Most herbal teas do not have tannins. Camellia sinensis, the tea plant, contains tannins. A few herbal teas, such as those containing hibiscus, do have tannins in small amounts. Several people also asked me about wine, which often contains tannins. Red wine also has the same effect of binding non-heme iron and reduces its absorption by about half.Muscle training helps to reduce high blood pressure DEAR HELOISE: I have a suggestion for preserving pictures, or even contracts. Pictures developed from “lm will deteriorate over time, as do yellow copies of contracts and documents. So, I scan pictures and save them on my computer to preserve them. When I sign a receipt for work done on my home, I also scan the top white page and print it for my “les. Switching the subject, I also have a complaint about the pull tabs on cans. At 87, I “nd it dif“cult to open them. A lot of the cans can't even be opened with a can opener, and I recently cut my hand on one. They are not user-friendly. „ Marilyn Jewell, Concord, New Hampshire DEAR HELOISE: Moving heavy objects from place to place is diffcult for me because I am 81 and not that strong. I've found that by placing the item in my desk chair makes it so much easier to roll the objects over my hardwood ”oors from room to room or to the garage. „ M.C., Rutland, Vermont DEAR HELOISE: I read your column in today's Los Angeles Daily News, and a letter from Angry Aunt in Arlington, Virginia, caught my eye. I was beyond appalled that there is somebody who has the gall to be rude and crude enough to demand money for her wedding. It's downright despicable! „ Maureen Dumas, Calabasas, California DEAR READERS: To help contain the burnt smell of crumbs in the toaster oven, pour some baking soda on the bottom tray to absorb the odor.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 PAGE 9B DEAR ABBY: I am a proud 42-year-old gay man. I was legally married to a man for four years, but we were together for 12. In 2011, I had to make the decision to remove him from life support after a sudden traumatic illness. I remained single for six years, and then I met who I thought was a wonderful man who was 16 years younger. After the “rst year, he became controlling and emotionally abusive. When I ended the relationship, I felt so much freedom. I have met someone my age who reminds me of my late husband, and we have bonded and are forming a relationship. So far, it has only been dating and spending a lot of time together. I'm scared to start something so soon, but it feels right. When is a good time to move forward? When is a proper time to become intimate? We have both had bad relationships and respect each other's boundaries at the moment. I will never remarry, as I was entitled to survivor bene“ts from my late husband, and we both agree there are ways to protect each other and our “nancial needs other than marriage. Please help. „ In-Between in Colorado DEAR IN-BETWEEN: It seems to me that you and this new man in your life are doing everything right. You are getting to know each other and taking your time before becoming intimately involved. The proper time to advance to the next stage would be when both of you are comfortable with the idea. Communication is key in every aspect of your relationship, and it appears you are doing that already. DEAR ABBY: I'm 36 years old and married with three children. I have two siblings I have a good relationship with. The problem is we have a halfsister two years younger than I am who doesn't know we exist. When my parents were married, my father had an affair with a married woman, and they conceived my half-sister. My parents ultimately divorced. My father's mistress went back to her husband, and they remain married to this day. My half-sister was never told who her biological father is or that she has three halfsiblings. I have struggled my entire life with sharing this information with my half-sister because I don't want to ruin her life. My father passed away 20 years ago, so she will never have a relationship with him. My siblings also haven't been able to bring themselves to share this information with her, and I remain torn because we are close in age, look alike and have gone into similar “elds of work. I'd love to have a relationship with her. I understand she may not want to have a relationship with us and may have a lot of questions about why we waited so long to tell her. Is sharing the truth worth potentially ruining her life? „ Longing to Share DEAR LONGING: How do you think your half-sister is going to react after “nding out she has been raised with a lie? Is a potential relationship with you worth the damage it may cause between her, her mother and her stepfather? If she were in need of an organ transplant, I might feel differently.

NATIONAL NEWS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 | 1LOLITA C. BALDORAssociated PressRussian ghter jets ew dangerously close to several U.S. drone aircraft over Syria on Wednesday, setting o ares and forcing the MQ-9 Reapers to take evasive maneuvers, the Air Force said.U.S. Air Forces Central released a video of the encounter, showing a Russian SU-35 fighter closing in on a Reaper, and later showed a number of the so-called parachute flares moving into the drones flight path. The flares are attached to parachutes. Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich, commander of 9th Air Force in the Middle East, said three of the U.S. drones were operating over Syria after 10:30 a.m. local time, on a mission against the Islamic State group which was not detailed, when three of the Russian aircraft began harassing the drones.Ž In a statement, Grynkewich said one of the Russian pilots moved their aircraft in front of a drone and engaged the SU-35s afterburner, which greatly increases its speed and air pressure. The jet blast from the afterburner can potentially damage the Reapers electronics, and Grynkewich said it reduced the drone operators ability to safely operate the aircraft. Russian military aircraft engaged in unsafe and unprofessional behavior while interacting with U.S. aircraft in Syria,Ž he said, adding that the actions threaten the safety of the U.S. and Russian forces. We urge Russian forces in Syria to cease this reckless behavior and adhere to the standards of behavior expected of a professional air force so we can resume our focus on the enduring defeat of ISIS.Ž Army Gen. Erik Kurilla, head of U.S. Central Command, said in a statement that Russias violation of ongoing efforts to clear the airspace over Syria increases the risk of escalation or miscalculation.Ž About 900 U.S. forces are deployed to Syria to work with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces battling the Islamic State militants there. No other details about the drone operation were provided, and its not clear where over Syria the incidents took place.ASSOCIATED PRESSIn this image from video released by the U.S. Air Force, a Russian SU-35 ” ies near a U.S. Air Force MQ-9 Reaper drone on Wednesday over Syria.

But weeks after its official opening, the site, a sea of black, crumbly rock in the barren desert south of Jordans capital, is instead a source of heated controversy. Deals surrounding the plant put Jordan on the hook for billions of dollars in debt to China „ all for a plant that is no longer needed for its energy, because of other agreements made since the projects conception. The result is fueling tensions between China and Jordan and causing grief for the Jordanian government as it tries to contest the deal in an international legal battle. As Chinese influence grows in the Middle East and America withdraws, the $2.1 billion shale oil station has come to characterize Chinas wider model that has burdened many Asian and African states with crippling debt and served as a cautionary tale for the region. Attarat is a representation of what the Belt and Road Initiative was and has become,Ž said Jesse Marks, a nonresident fellow at the Washington-based Stimson Center, referring to Chinas scheme to build global infrastructure and boost Beijings political sway. Jordan evolves as an interesting case study not for Chinas success in the region but for how China engages in middle-income countries,Ž he said. First conceived some 15 years ago as a way to fulfill national ambitions of energy independence, the Attarat shale oil plant is now causing anger in Jordan because of its enormous price tag. If the original agreement holds, Jordan would have to pay China a staggering $8.4 billion over 30 years to buy the electricity generated by the plant. Laborers flown from rural China toil in the shadow of the giant station, some 60 miles south of Amman. When Shi Changqing arrived in the Jordanian desert earlier this year from the Jilin province in Chinas northeast, fears were mounting in the workers dormitories that the project could grind to a halt, leaving everyone in the lurch, the 36-year-old welder said. Its very strange to feel that, being from China, you are not wanted here,Ž he said. With its meager natural resources in a region awash with oil and gas, Jordan seemed to have drawn a losing ticket. Then in the 2000s, it struck shale oil trapped in the black rock that underlies the country. With the fourth-largest concentration of shale oil in the world, Jordan had high hopes for a big pay-off.Troubled new power plant leaves Jordan in debt to China ASSOCIATED PRESSAttarat power plant is seen June 7 some 60 miles south of Amman, Jordan.

APG NATIONAL NEWS 2 | THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 Associated PressThe planets temperature spiked on Tuesday to its hottest day in decades and likely centuries, and Wednesday could become the third straight day Earth unofficially marks a record-breaking high. Its the latest in a series of climate-change extremes that alarm but dont surprise scientists. The globes average temperature reached 62.9 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday, according to the University of Maines Climate Reanalyzer, a common tool based on satellite data, observations, and computer simulations and used by climate scientists for a glimpse of the worlds condition. On Monday, the average temperature was 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit (17.01 degrees Celsius), setting a record that lasted only 24 hours. For scientists, its a sweaty case of I-told-you-so. A record like this is another piece of evidence for the now massively supported proposition that global warming is pushing us into a hotter future,Ž said Stanford University climate scientist Chris Field, who was not part of the calculations. On Wednesday, 38 million Americans were under some kind of heat alert, said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Sarah Kapnick. She said the global heat is from a natural El Nino warming of the Pacific that heats up the planet as it changes worldwide weather on top of human-caused climate change from the burning of coal, oil and gas. Even normally cooler communities are feeling the heat. In North Grenville, Ontario, the city turned icehockey rinks into cooling centers as temperatures Wednesday hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with humidity making it making it feel like 100.4 degrees. I feel like we live in a tropical country right now,Ž city spokeswoman Jill Sturdy said. It just kind of hits you. The air is so thick.Ž University of Maine climate scientist Sean Birkle, creator of the Climate Reanalyzer, said the daily figures are unofficial but a useful snapshot of whats happening in a warming world. Think of it as the temperature of someone whos ill, he said: It tells you something might be wrong, but you need longer-term records to work like a doctors exam for a complete picture. While the figures are not an official government record, this is showing us an indication of where we are right now,Ž said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Sarah Kapnick. NOAA indicated it will take the figures into consideration. Even though the dataset used for the unofficial record goes back only to 1979, Kapnick said that given other data, the world is likely seeing the hottest day in several hundred years that weve experienced.Ž Scientists generally use much longer measurements to track the Earths warming. But the daily highs are an indication that climate change is reaching uncharted territory.Tuesday set unofficial record for the hottest day on Earth Honolulu 88/76 Hilo 83/69 Anchorage 58/51 Fairbanks 79/60 Juneau 76/49 Monterrey 89/72 Chihuahua 98/72 Los Angeles 79/58 Washington 91/75 New York 88/73 Atlanta 91/74 Detroit 82/63 Houston 90/75 Kansas City 80/63 Minneapolis 77/59 El Paso 105/79 Denver 79/56 San Francisco 68/56 Seattle 88/57 Port Charlotte 93/78 Knoxville 88/72 Greensboro 89/69 Madison 79/54 Bozeman 74/45 Nampa 95/62 Toronto 85/64 Montreal 92/72 Winnipeg 80/57NATIONAL (for the 48 contiguous states)INTERNATIONALNATIONAL FORECAST In the digital e-edition, you can click anywhere on the US map to get up-to-date forecasts, radar, MinuteCast® and more.NATIONAL CITIES TODAY INTERNATIONAL CITIES-10s-0s0s10s20s30s40s50s60s70s80s90s100s110sShowersT-stormsRainFlurriesSnowIce Cold frontWarm frontStationary frontWEATHER HISTORYWEATHER TRIVIA’City Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQ City Hi Lo W Hi Lo W City Hi Lo W Hi Lo WWeather ( W ): s -sunny, pc -partly cloudy, c -cloudy, sh -showers, t -thunderstorms, r -rain, sf -snow ”urries, sn -snow, i -ice.

THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 | 3 Shaun White documentary spells out the tough choicesYears after their sport was hoisted onto the Olympic stage, the idea of riding for big money and gold medals still felt dirty to most pro snowboarders. They were more focused on fun and friends than cash and prizes. For every death-defying calculation Shaun White made over two decades of risk-taking on the halfpipe, his decision to push those riders into thinking differently about their role in the sport was as big a game changer as any. A key part in the first episode of the documentary series Shaun White: The Last RunŽ zeroes in on the exact moment White decided to try to make a living out of snowboarding instead of trying to make friends. The four-part series starts Thursday on MAX.Sean DiddyŽ Combs dispute with Diageo deepensRapper and entrepreneur Sean DiddyŽ Combs is asking the New York Supreme Court to enforce a 2021 agreement that requires Diageo to treat his DeLeon tequila brand at least as favorablyŽ as its other tequila brands. Combs initially sued Diageo in May. But many details, including the 2021 agreement, were redacted at the time. On Wednesday, those details were released. Combs signed the agreement after what he says are years of neglect for the DeLeon brand, which Diageo positioned as an inferior urbanŽ brand. Diageo denies Combs claims and has asked the court to compel arbitration or dismiss the lawsuit.Bear Grylls goes into wild with a new batch of celebritiesNEW YORK „ For his latest role, Bradley Cooper leapt onto a hovering helicopter, rappelled down a 400-foot cliff and pulled himself across a 100foot ravine in one of the harshest climates in North America.

Online records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Prisons say she was released Monday. AROUND THE WORLDNATION & WORLD DANICA KIRKAAssociated PressLONDON „ It was Scotland on parade. Bagpipes, kilts, drums and a Shetland pony named Corporal Cruachan IV marched down Edinburghs Royal Mile on Wednesday to honor King Charles III. Two months after his lavish coronation at Westminster Abbey in London, Scotland hosted its own event to mark the new monarchs accession to the throne. While Charles and Queen Camilla werent crowned a second time, the new king was presented with the Honors of Scotland „ the crown, scepter and sword of state „ items he received with reverence during a service at St. Giles Cathedral. The Stone of Destiny, an important symbol of Scottish identity, was also moved to the cathedral for the festivities. The presence of these icons of Scotlands nationhood is a mark of respect for a country that is fiercely proud of its history and where the desire of some for independence has never died, even though it has been bound to England and the United Kingdom since 1707. Scotlands national government is led by the Scottish National Party, which is calling for a second independence referendum. Its not a coronation, said George Gross, an expert in coronations at Kings College London. But its very symbolic in that Scotland has its own identity. Wednesdays events in Edinburgh were a continuation of Charles effort to cement ties throughout the United Kingdom as he tries to show that the 1,000-year-old monarchy remains relevant in modern Britain. Soon after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, last September, Charles visited Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales before attending the state funeral in London. Just as during Mays coronation ceremony, Wednesdays events linked historic traditions with nods to the multicultural nature of Britain today. The choir sang a psalm in Gaelic and passages of the New Testament were read in Scots, as the church service honored two of Scotlands historic languages. Non-Christian leaders offered prayers or messages of support, reflecting the monarchs longtime interest in interfaith issues. Charles was also presented with a new sword made by Scottish artisans and named after Elizabeth. The sword was in place of the current sword of state, which was made in 1507 and was considered too fragile for use in the ceremony. But it was the sermon of the Right Reverend Sally Foster-Fulton, moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, who underscored Charles devotion to protecting the environment.Two months after Charles IIIs coronation, Scotland hosts its own royal event of honorJILL LAWLESSAssociated PressLONDON „ Officials on the Orkney Islands, a corner of Scotland with Viking roots and an independent spirit, seized a moment in the global spotlight on Tuesday and voted to explore ways of seeking more autonomy „ or even independence „ from neglectful U.K. governments. Journalists from across Britain and around the world tuned in remotely as Orkney Islands Council voted to study alternative models of governanceŽ for the archipelago, which has a population of 22,000. The proposal from council leader James Stockan grabbed international headlines with its mention of potentially restoring Orkneys Nordic connections.Ž Orkney was under Norwegian and Danish control for centuries until 1472 when the islands were taken by the Scottish crown as part of Margaret of Denmarks wedding dowry to King James III of Scotland. Stockan said his proposal is not about us joining Norway,Ž but about countering the discrimination that weve had against this communityŽ from the Scottish and U.K. governments. I say, Enough,Ž he said. I say it is time for government to take us seriously, and it is time for us to look at all the options weve got.Ž A report accompanying Stockans motion suggested Orkney should investigate options including a status like the Faeroe Islands, a self-governing dependency of Denmark that lies between Scotland and Iceland. Another option is emulating Britains Crown Dependencies such as the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. Long an impoverished area reliant on the unpredictable fishing industry, Orkney prospered after large reserves of oil were discovered offshore in the 1960s. The islands, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) north of mainland Scotland, also have a burgeoning wind-power industry and a growing tourism sector. But Stockan said Orkney gets less support from the Scottish government than other island communities in Shetland or the Hebrides, and is desperately in need of new ferries to keep its many islands connected.Politicians on Orkney Islands vote to explore more autonomy APG NATIONAL NEWSASSOCIATED PRESSBritains King Charles III inspects the Royal Company of Archers Guard of Honour during the Ceremony of the Keys on the forecou rt of the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Scotland, Monday, July 3, 2023.

Associated PressContract negotiations between UPS and the union representing 340,000 of the companys workers broke down early Wednesday with each side blaming the other for walking away from talks. The Teamsters have imposed several deadlines for United Parcel Service negotiators to make their last, best and finalŽ offer to its unionized workers in recent days. Union officials said Wednesday that UPS walked away from the bargaining table after presenting an unacceptable offer,Ž specifically with regard to the economic package. UPS told a different story. The package delivery company said it was the Teamsters who abandoned negotiations, despite UPSs historic offer that builds on our industry-leading pay.Ž We have not walked away, and the union has a responsibility to remain at the table,Ž the Atlanta company said in a prepared statement. Whichever the case, talks are at a stalemate with the end of the contract „ midnight on July 31 „ rapidly approaching. Teamster-represented UPS workers voted for a strike authorization last month and union chief Sean OBrien said last week that a strike was imminent. The Teamsters say any tentative agreement would need to be endorsed by its national committee before being disseminated and voted on by membership. The union has said it will not negotiate past the expiration of the current contract. Shares of United Parcel Service Inc. fell more than 2%. Shares in rival FedEx rose slightly. The Teamsters represent more than half of the companys workforce in the largest private-sector contract in North America. If a strike occurs, it would be the first since a 15-day walkout by 185,000 workers crippled the company a quarter century ago. UPS has grown vastly since then and become even more integral piece of the U.S. economy, with consumers relying on swift delivery of most essential home items. Small businesses who rely on UPS could also be left looking for alternative shipping options if the companys remaining workforce wasnt able to meet demand during a strike. The company says it delivers the equivalent of about 6% of nations gross domestic product. That means a strike would carry with it potentially far-reaching implications for the economy, particularly the supply chain, which has just begun to recover from pandemic-related entanglements. Negotiations had appeared to be progressing in recent weeks, with tentative agreements on a number of issues since national contract talks began in April. The sides agreed to scrap the twotier wage system for drivers who work weekends and earn less money, which was a major sticking point. The union also said it also reached a tentative agreement to establish Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a full holiday for the first time.UPS, Teamsters talks breaking down, turn to finger pointing ASSOCIATED PRESSA United Parcel Service delivery driver steers his truck on June 30, in the East Boston neighborhood of Boston. BRIEFCASE JetBlue is dumping its partnership with AmericanJetBlue is picking Spirt Airlines over American. JetBlue said Wednesday that it wont appeal a judges ruling against its partnership with American Airlines, effectively dropping the deal. JetBlue hopes that will convince the federal government to let it buy Spirit Airlines. A federal judge decided in May that the JetBlue-American deal, called the Northeast Alliance, violates antitrust law.Some Fed officials wanted to raise interest rates last monthWASHINGTON „ Some Federal Reserve officials pushed to raise the Feds key interest rate by one-quarter of a percentage point at their meeting last month to intensify their fight against high inflation, though the central bank ultimately decided to forgo a rate hike. In a sign of growing division among the policymakers, some officials favored a quarter-point increase or said they could have supported such a proposal,Ž according to the minutes of the June 13-14 meeting. In the end, the 11 voting members of the Feds interest-rate setting committee agreed unanimously to skip a hike after 10 straight increases. But they signaled that they might raise rates twice more this year, beginning as soon as this month.Christmas Tree Shops expects to liquidate all of its storesNEW YORK „ Christmas Tree Shops is poised to liquidate all of its stores roughly two months after the struggling home-goods retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. When Christmas Tree Shops filed for bankruptcy in early May, the Middleboro, Massachusetts-based chain aimed to complete restructuring and exit Chapter 11 as a financially stronger retailerŽ by the end of August. At the time, Christmas Tree Shops planned to close a small number of underperforming stores. But in a court filing last week, the struggling home-goods retailer confirmed that it defaulted on a $45 million bankruptcy loan and had agreed to liquidate its more than 70 remaining locations across 20 states, unless a buyer emerges in the final hour. BUSINESS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 | 4 JOSH FUNKAssociated PressOMAHA, Neb. „ Norfolk Southern says the owner of the rail car that caused the fiery Ohio derailment in February failed to properly maintain it in the years before the crash, and the railroad wants to make sure that company and the owners of the other cars involved help pay for the costs. The railroad filed a complaint Friday against all the car owners and shippers connected to the hazardous chemicals that spilled in the Feb. 3 derailment. As part of that, Norfolk Southern said GATX didnt follow the car manufacturers recommendations for taking care of the plastic pellet car that has been blamed for the derailment. The National Transportation Safety Board said in its preliminary report that the likely cause of the crash was a bearing on that car overheated. Its final report detailing everything that contributed wont be done until at least next year. The derailment forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border and sent a towering plume of black smoke over the town of East Palestine The railroad said everyone involved in shipping hazardous chemicals bears some responsibility under federal regulations in making sure they get to their destination safely. Norfolk Southern, like most railroads, doesnt actually own most of the cars it hauls, and it said the car owner and shippers are responsible for maintaining them even though railroad workers inspect and repair them along the way if they find defects. The problem Norfolk Southern identified with the plastic pellet car is that it sat idle for more than a year and a half in 2017 and 2018 and again for more than six months in 2018 and 2019. The manufacturer says railcars need to be moved at least one car length every six months.Norfolk Southern says other companies should share blame in fiery Ohio derailment

SCIENCE &TECH ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JULY 6, 2023 | 5 Associated PressThe condential documents stolen from schools and dumped online by ransomware gangs are raw, intimate and graphic. ey describe student sexual assaults, psychiatric hospitalizations, abusive parents, truancy „ even suicide attempts.Please do something,Ž begged a student in one leaked file, recalling the trauma of continually bumping into an ex-abuser at a school in Minneapolis. Other victims talked about wetting the bed or crying themselves to sleep. Complete sexual assault case folios containing these details were among more than 300,000 files dumped online in March after the 36,000-student Min neapolis Public Schools refused to pay a $1 million ransom. Other exposed data included medical records and discrimi nation complaints. Rich in digitized data, the nations schools are prime targets for far-flung criminal hackers, who are assiduously locating and scooping up sensitive files. Often strapped for cash, districts are grossly ill-equipped not just to defend themselves but to respond diligently and transparently when attacked, espe cially as they struggle to help kids catch up from the pandemic and grapple with shrinking budgets. Months after the Minneapolis attack, administrators have not delivered on their promise to inform individual vic tims. Unlike for hospitals, no federal law exists to require this notification from schools. The Associated Press reached families of six students whose sexual assault case files were exposed. The message from a reporter was the first time anyone had alerted them. Truth is, they didnt notify us about anything,Ž said a mother whose sons case file has 80 documents. Even when schools catch a ransom ware attack in progress, the data are typically already gone. That was what Los Angeles Unified School District did last Labor Day weekend, only to see the pri vate paperwork of more than 1,900 former students „ including psychological evaluations and medical records „ leaked online. Not until February did district officials disclose the breachs full dimensions. The lasting legacy of school ran somware attacks, it turns out, is not in school closures, recovery costs or even soaring cyberinsurance premiums. It is the trauma for staff, students and parents from the online exposure of private records „ which the AP found on the open internet and dark web. A massive amount of information is being posted online, and nobody is looking to see just how bad it all is. Or, if somebody is looking, theyre not making the results public,Ž said analyst Brett Cal low of the cybersecurity firm Emsisoft. Other big districts recently stung by data theft include San Diego, Des Moines and Tucson, Arizona. While the severity of those hacks remains unclear, all have been criticized either for being slow to admit to being hit by ransom ware, dragging their feet on notifying victims „ or both.ON CYBER SECURITY, SCHOOLS HAVE LAGGEDWhile other ransomware targets have fortified and segmented net works, encrypting data and mandating multi-factor authentication, school sys tems have been slower to react. Ransomware likely has affected well over 5 million U.S. students by now, with district attacks on track to rise this year, said analyst Allan Liska of the cyberse curity firm Recorded Future. Nearly one in three U.S. districts had been breached by the end of 2021, according to a sur vey by the Center for Internet Security, a federally funded nonprofit. Just three years ago, criminals did not routinely grab data in ransomware attacks, said TJ Sayers, cyberthreat intelli gence manager at the Center for Internet Security. Now, its common, he said, with much of it sold on the dark web. The criminals in the Minneapo lis theft were especially aggressive. They shared links to the stolen data on Face book, Twitter, Telegram and the dark web, which standard browsers cant access. The Minneapolis parents informed by the AP of the leaked sexual assault complaints feel doubly victimized. Their children have battled PTSD, and some even left their schools. Now this. The family is beyond horrified to learn that this highly sensitive informa tion is now available in perpetuity on the internet for the childs future friends, romantic interests, employers, and others to discover,Ž said Jeff Storms, an attorney for one of the families. It is AP policy not to identify sexual abuse victims. Minneapolis Schools spokeswoman Crystina Lugo-Beach would not say how many people have been contacted so far or answer other AP questions about the attack. Despite parents and teachers frus tration, schools are routinely advised by incident response teams concerned about legal liability issues and ransom negotiations against being more trans parent, said Callow of Emsisoft. Minneapolis school officials apparently followed that playbook, initially describing the Feb. 17 attack cryptically as a sys tem incident,Ž then as technical difficultiesŽ and later an encryption event.Ž The extent of the breach became clear though when a ransomware group posted video of stolen data, giving the district 10 days to pay the ransom before leaking files. The district declined to pay, following the standing advice of the FBI, which says ransoms encourage criminals to target more victims.SCHOOLS SPEND TECH BUDGETS ON LEARNING TOOLS, NOT SECURITYDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, districts prioritized spending on internet connectivity and remote learning. Secu rity got short shrift as IT departments invested in software to track student engagement and performance, often at the expense of privacy and safety, Uni versity of Chicago and New York University researchers found. Cybersecurity money for public schools is limited. As it stands, districts can only expect slivers of the $1 billion in cyberse curity grants that the f ederal government is distributing over four years. Minnesotas chief information security officer, John Israel, said his state got $18 million of it this year to divvy among 3,600 different entities. State lawmakers pro vided an additional $22.5 million in grants for cyber and physical security in schools. Its already too late for the mother of one of the Minneapolis students whose confidential sexual assault complaint was released online. She almost feels vio lated again.Ž All the stuff we kept private,Ž she said, its out there. And its been out there for a very long time.ŽASSOCIATED PRESSRansomware criminals dumping kids private files online after school hacks

Its the third-longest road winning streak in Phillies history, trailing a 13-game run in 1976 and 12-game stretch that spanned the 1887 and 88 seasons. Tampa Bay has lost a season-high four in a row and 10 of 16 overall. Walker (10-3) allowed four runs and five hits, all in the first three of his seven-inning outing. Bryson Stott had four hits as Philadelphia finished with 17 hits overall. Bryce Harper went 2 for 5 in his fifth consecutive game with two hits.

The Mets won their fourth in a row, but they waited until they were down to their last strike, when Alvarez homered to right field off Andrew Chafin (2-2), the fourth Arizona pitcher of the game. Alvarez, the rookie catcher, flung his bat joyfully in the air as he neared first base and saw the ball clear the wall for his 15th homer. He leads the majors with five tying or go-ahead home runs in the sixth inning or later. Brett Baty followed with a ground single to right and, after a mound visit, Canha tripled to the 413-foot sign in right-center to score Baty. Kodai Senga (7-5) matched his season high with 12 strikeouts over eight innings. Christian Walker led off the seventh with a home run well over the wall in left-center to break a scoreless tie, and until two out and nobody on in the ninth, it looked as if it would be enough for the NL West-leading Diamondbacks.BRAVES 8, GUARDIANS 1CLEVELAND „ All-Stars Sean Murphy and Matt Olson homered and Atlanta bounced back from a rare loss to rout Cleveland. Murphy hit a solo shot in the third inning off Cal Quantrill (2-6), Olson hit a 428-foot blast in the ninth and the Braves had 19 hits and took the series finale after their winning streak was stopped at nine Tuesday. Austin Riley also connected as the Braves homered in their 23rd straight game, baseballs longest stretch of long balls this season. They lead the majors with 166 homers and are on pace to break the season record of 309 set by Minnesota in 2019. Atlanta has won 18 of 20 and 25 of 29. Michael Tonkin (5-2) worked 3 1/3 scoreless innings.ORIOLES 6, YANKEES 3NEW YORK „ Touted prospect Colton Cowser hit an RBI single in his major league debut and scored the go-ahead run when fellow rookie Jordan Westburg followed with a two-run triple, sending Dean Kremer and Baltimore past New York. Kremer (9-4) struck out a careerhigh 10 in seven innings of fourhit ball. Ryan OHearn lined a tworun homer in the ninth, and AllStar relievers Yennier Cano and Félix Bautista combined to get the final six outs as the second-place Orioles won for the second time in eight games. Bautista got four outs for his 23rd save. Josh Donaldson and Anthony Volpe homered for the Yankees, who had won the first two games of this four-game series between AL East playoff contenders.

Corey Seager had three hits for the Rangers, and Adolis Garcia celebrated being selected for the Home Run Derby by hitting one that counted, a two-run shot in the sixth that made it 3-2. But those were the only runs against Bello (6-5), who allowed two runs on eight hits in seven innings, striking out three and walking none. Kenley Jansen, Bostons only All-Star selection, pitched the ninth for his 18th save. The Red Sox won for the fourth time in five games.

In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga. In 1854, the first official meeting of the Republican Party took place in Jackson, Michigan. In 1885, French scientist Louis Pasteur tested an anti-rabies vaccine on 9-year-old Joseph Meister, who had been bitten by an infected dog; the boy did not develop rabies. In 1933, the first All-Star baseball game was played at Chicagos Comiskey Park; the American League defeated the National League, 4-2. In 1942, Anne Frank, her parents and sister entered a secret annexŽ in an Amsterdam building where they were later joined by four other people; they hid from Nazi occupiers for two years before being discovered and arrested. In 1945, President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order establishing the Medal of Freedom. In 1957, Althea Gibson became the first Black tennis player to win a Wimbledon singles title as she defeated fellow American Darlene Hard 6-3, 6-2.

In 2016, Philando Castile, a Black elementary school cafeteria worker, was killed during a traffic stop in the St. Paul suburb of Falcon Heights by Officer Jeronimo Yanez. (Yanez was later acquitted on a charge of second-degree manslaughter.) In 2020, the Trump administration formally notified the United Nations of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization; President Donald Trump had criticized the WHOs response to the coronavirus pandemic. (The pullout was later halted by President Joe Bidens administration.)TEN YEARS AGOA runaway train carrying crude oil derailed in eastern Quebec, igniting fires and explosions that destroyed much of the town of Lac-Megantic and killed 47 people.

A former Thai navy SEAL died while diving in flooded cave passageways to deliver supplies to 12 schoolboys and their soccer coach whod been trapped for nearly two weeks.ONE YEAR AGOAuthorities said a man charged with killing seven people at an Independence Day parade confessed to police that he unleashed a hail of bullets from a rooftop in suburban Chicago and then fled to the Madison, Wisconsin, area, where he contemplated shooting up an event there. The gunman instead turned back to Illinois, where he was arrested. A police officer armed with a rifle watched the gunman in the Uvalde elementary school massacre walk toward the campus but did not fire while waiting for permission from a supervisor to shoot, according to a newly released sweeping critique of the tactical response to the tragedy six weeks earlier.TODAYS BIRTHDAYS The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is 88.

Tom Krisher ; Alex Nieves € AP Source: iSeeCarsIn the auto business, its conventional wisdom that if you want to get top dollar when you trade in your vehicle for a new one, buy one thats silver, black, white or gray. But a study by iSeeCars.com of price data on over 1.3 million 3-year-old used vehicles found that popular colors arent the best when it comes to retaining value. In fact, yellow, beige and even orange vehicles dont lose as much of their value as more common colors. The average vehicle loses 22.5% of its value, or $9,674, in three years, the study found. A black car, however drops 23.9%, or $10,867. Yellow vehicles, on the other hand, depreciate only 13.5%, or $6,588. Karl Brauer, executive analyst with iSeeCars, said that while there are fewer buyers for a yellow car, there also are fewer for sale. Conversely, there are many black, white, silver and gray vehicles for sale „ and many buyers. The values represent supply and demand for particular colors. People who want a black car have many choices and can negotiate, Brauer said, but those who really want a yellow car will have to pay more money.ŽBuying a car?

latest report on the U.S. services sector today. Economists expect the monthly index rose to 51 in June from 50.3 the previous month. The services sector, which employs most Americans, has remained resilient despite pressure from inflation, with readings above 50 signaling growth. The sector is being watched closely amid worries that the broader economy is slowing and could slip into a recession at some point in 2023.Labor market bellwetherThe Labor Department serves up its weekly snapshot of unemployment benefits applications today. Jobless aid applications, a proxy for layoffs, fell two weeks ago to a seasonally adjusted 239,000, the lowest level in four weeks. Still, the four-week moving average of claims, which evens out some weekly fluctuations, rose to 257,500. The U.S. economy has added jobs at a furious pace since more than 20 million jobs vanished when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring of 2020.In a hiring moodThe Labor Department delivers its latest monthly tally of U.S. job openings today. Economists project that the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS, will show employers advertised about 9.9 million jobs in May. That would be down slightly from April, when the number of posted jobs rose unexpectedly to 10.1 million. Job openings, which never exceeded 8 million a month before 2021, have remained strong despite more than a year of aggressive interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve.

MIKE MYERS It’s not over quite yetA lot of people think Southwest Floridas tarpon season ends after Independence Day, but the truth is were just getting started. Make a storm planA local news item in the most recent Coast Guard media advisory caught my eye. Some folks got very lucky, and their story is a great example for the rest of us. € € € € € € € € € € € €COAST GUARD RESCUES FOUR PEOPLE, DOG OFF SANIBEL ISLANDFORT MYERS, Fla.„ A Coast Guard Station Fort Myers Beach boat crew rescued four people and their dog on June 21, south of Sanibel Island. The group was brought back to Station Fort Myers Beach with no injuries reported. The crew of the sailing vessel, North Wind, called for help via VHF Channel 16 and reported to Sector St. Petersburg watchstanders at approximately 7:45 p.m. that their vessel was taking on water from the weather, their sails were torn and their rudder was broken. Its really important for people to check weather reports before going out on the water during Floridas rainy season,Ž said Petty Officer 2nd Class Dean Marandos, Station Fort Myers Beach. Its even more important to have working safety equipment on board such as flares and an emergency position indicating locator beacon.Ž A safety information marine broadcast was issued for the anchored vessel to warn boaters of the hazard to navigation. The weather on scene was 4to 5-foot seas and 20to 25-mph winds. € € € € € € € € € € € €What did these boaters do wrong? From the officers statement, it could be inferred they didnt look at the forecast before heading out. If they didnt, that was pretty dumb. However, its very possible they did and simply underestimated the weather. Its a common mistake, especially for those who arent familiar with how nasty Southwest Floridas summer storms can get.Id guess that they didnt have a storm plan in place. Thats common too. But you can learn from their mistake and avoid ending up in the next Coast Guard bulletin. It just takes one part planning, one part sense, and one part diligence. Planning first. If you have an emergency on the water, how are you going to communicate? Cellphones are not the best choice. Weve all seen how spotty reception can be, even in places where you expect it to be good. Once you get a few miles off shore, forget about it. Ive seen a cellphone work 12 miles out. Ive also seen them useless just 3 or 4 miles out.A VHF radio? OK, good choice. Do you know how to use it? Does everybody else on the boat? The emergency might be medical or man overboard, and it might be you. How long is the antenna? Radio transmission is line of sight, so the longer it is the farther out you can reach. Are you willing to raise that antenna in a lightning storm?Satellite communications devices have gotten a lot more affordable in the last few years. Take a look at the Garmin InReach. If you spend a lot of time on the water, consider it an investment in peace of mind. As the officer points out, your other safety gear is important too. Type 1 PFDs that will keep your face out of the water even if youre unconscious are really the only ones worth buying or wearing, no matter how far out youre going. An EPIRB (or at least a PLB) is invaluable if your vessel goes down. And of course the other Coast Guard required safety stuff needs to be aboard as well. Equipment wont save you if you dont have a plan. My buddy Jim Hoffman used to go offshore a lot, and he had a rotating cast of characters aboard. Before departing, there was always a safety lecture in which we were reminded where to find things like life jackets, fire extinguishers and the like. We were also told the sinking plan „ things like which coolers would be empties and by whom so they could serve as additional flotation, where the ditch bag was, who would retrieve the life raft. The man was prepared. Its really too bad that when the boat actually sank, it sank at the dock. I have no doubt he and whoever would have been onboard would have survived an offshore sinking and had a great story for the rest of their lives. Obviously, look at the forecast. Obviously, its not going to give you the full story. If were headed out at 5 a.m. to run 70 miles out after red snapper, theres no way to really know what well come back in to at 5 p.m. So youll need a contingency plan. Watch the radar (if you have it) or the sky. Pay special attention landward, but dont forget to look out to sea and occasionally straight up. Avoid big ugly weather if you can. If you cant, what are you going to do if you must weather a storm at sea? Do you have enough rode to hold anchor in a storm (seven to 10 times the depth is the general rule).If theres a big thunderstorm hurling down lightning bolts at the pass you went out, pick a different pass to go in. It would be good to have gone through that pass once or twice before. Discovering the shoal at Stump Pass while a storm is bearing down will not be a happy feeling. If the storm stands between you and port, do you have a backup in place? An alternative site to dock for a few hours might save the day, or at least cut down on everybodys anxiety levels. At least know where you can make a safe anchorage (and not in a channel, please). Dont forget to file a float plan with someone responsible. If things go bad and your communications fail, at the very least youll want someone to come looking for you. The more they know about where you were planning to be, the more likely theyll find you before you expire. And that is the name of the game: Come home alive. Not the first time Ive said this, but while boating is a lot of fun, its also a dangerous thing to do. Look at how many people have died at sea, or even just in our own little Charlotte Harbor. Im absolutely not telling you to avoid boats „ Im just suggesting that you have a safety plan, especially during the summer storm season, so you can go out and have a good time. See you on the water. Contact Capt. Josh Olive at 941-276-9657 or Publisher@WaterLineWeekly.com. FROM THE PUBLISHER'S DESK • CAPT.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 4 € JULY 6, 2023 THE FRESHEST LOCAL FISHING REPORTS FROM VENICE TO FORT MYERS BEACH (07/04 report) Catch-and-release snook reports are great in the bay and in the surf. Redsh action has also been pretty good, but remember that these guys are looking for shade right now and place your baits accordingly. Weve also gotten reports of a few pompano this week.ASHLEY L.ECONOMY TACKLE Sarasota 941-922-9671Anglers chasing red snapper out past 50 miles are doing well, and theyre getting a fun mixed bag of other stu: Red grouper , of course, but also scamp , tilesh and kitty mitchells . There have been a few kingsh caught too, which is a little surprising considering the heat. The tarpon are still chewing, and now that tarpon seasonŽ is over, there should be less competition for them.

We also know that if you let the sh dive into said structure after you hook it, its probably going to break you o. But maybe not. If your sh gets into structure, give it some slack line. It seems counterintuitive, but just let it loose. Open your bait or put the reel in freespool. Fish dont ght against the sting of the hook „ thats inconsequential to them. After all, they eat stabby things all the time: Shrimp, crabs, spiny sh, etc. They ght against the tension of the line. No tension, no ght. So give it slack, and before too long it will probably go back to doing whatever shy things it was doing before you showed up. This trick works equally well for snook under docks and grouper on the reefs. Once its forgotten you, youll see the line begin to move. Now its time for round two. Get it right this time: Dont jerk, just get the shs head pointed away from that structure and reel. Once the sh is safely in open water, you can reel it in more or less at your leisure. This technique takes a bit of patience, but the results have to be seen to be believed. „ As the Fish Coach, Capt. Josh Olive oers personalized instruction on shing techniques. To book your session or for more information, go to FishCoach.net, email Josh@ FishCoach.net or call 941-276-9657.(06/27 report) Tarpon have been a favorite target, but the bite has been getting tougher. Snook at the jetties have been hitting live pinsh or airhawk-style bucktail jigs. The trout bite has been OK, but theyre feeling sluggish in this warmer water. Some sharks have been reported in the surf at several Venice-area beaches. Oshore anglers have been reporting red snapper , mutton snapper and red grouper at 60 miles. Mangrove and yellowtail snapper have been on the wrecks, along with a couple African pompano . The nearshore reefs have only had smaller sh. Freshwat er anglers have been getting into a few largemouth bass , but nothing really to brag about. However, the bluegill bite has been pretty solid on worms or Beetle Spins. (06/05 report) Snook are on the beach from Stump Pass to north of Blind Pass Beach. Small shadtail soft plastics are doing well. There are also whiting and small jacks in the surf zone. Ladysh , mangrove snapper (only a few keepers) and random pompano have been caught at the Ainger Pier. The deeper potholes in Lemon Bay have been producing some good trout . Charter boats have been doing well with the red snapper out around 170 feet, with most anglers getting their two-sh limit. Theyre also bringing back some red grouper , though not limiting out. Hit the beach for a fun mixed bag. If you dont like articial lures, cut mullet and ladysh has also been working. (06/27 report) Tarpon are still in the passes but also on the beaches and up to the bridges in the Harbor. A few incidental cobia have been caught near the tarpon. Jacks have been chasing some bait around the 20-foot holes. Very few anglers are talking about redsh or trout lately. Lots of anglers are heading out, and the red snapper reports are good as close as 30 miles and as far as 100 miles. Theyre also getting some red grouper , scamp , jumbo mangrove snapper and vermilion snapper in the deep water. The snook bite is great early or late in the day. Fish the beaches, the passes, the jetties or anywhere else theres food and good current ow. Soft plastic lures, Live Target mullet and live baits are doing well. (07/04 report) There are lots of black drum in the PGI and Port Charlotte canals, along with some snook and jacks . The lower end of the west wall also has some snook plus a few redsh, and the outside of the bar has some trout . Trout reports are better around Bokeelia and the north end of Pine Island Sound, which is also a good place to look for Spanish mackerel . Tarpon are in Boca Grande Pass and o the beaches, mostly still on small crabs. Red snapper and red grouper reports are good in 150 to 170 feet. Lane and mangrove snapper have been caught from 60 to 100 feet. Some decent yellowtail snapper can be caught in the same depths if you chum heavily. Its spawning time, so the snapper are segregated by species. Small sharks (blacknose, sharpnose and occasional blacktips) are scattered all over, and there have been some bigger bull sharks in Boca Grande Pass and o the beach eating hooked tarpon. (05/16 report) Feeder creeks on the west wall are holding redsh and keeper mangrove snapper . Oer them chunked ladysh or cut whitebait. Snook in the same area have been eating live whitebait. A mixed bag of grunts and snapper has been caught on shrimp or squid over wrecks and reefs. Red grouper are eating whole squid over hard bottom in 70 and deeper. Fish canals mouths and intersections for tarpon , jacks , snook and mangrove snapper. The best bite is on live whitebait. You may also hook small sharks if youre shing the edges of PGI. (06/27 report) A few redsh and black drum have been caught in the Cape Coral canals. The mangrove snapper inshore have been mostly small, but a handful of 12to 16-inch sh are biting around docks on the ICW. Trout are doing well on deeper grass in Pine Island Sound. Those going out past 150 feet report lots of red snapper , although there are many in the 20to 24-inch range. Throw those back and hold out for bigger ones. Snook are in the passes and in the surf. If its calm, try a small white paddletail or silver spoon. If its rougher, a live baitsh is a better plan.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 6 € JULY 6, 2023 WaterLine file photoEl Jobean is a wellknown hotspot for nighttime anglers. Fishin’ in the darkIn the heat of midsummer, fishing during the day can be less than pleasant. Theres not just the heat to deal with „ you also have those pesky (and potentially dangerous) afternoon thunderboomers blowing through. But theres an easy way to beat the heat: Fish at night. As an added bonus, youll often enjoy better fishing action than daytime fishermen. Being on the water at night can be a little spooky. However, it doesnt have to be dangerous, even if you choose to fish from a boat. There are a lot of places you can easily navigate where you dont have to worry about running into sandbars or other hazards as you cruise through darkened waters. These locations are within easy reach of local boat ramps. The Boca Grande Causeway and trestles are just a short hop from the Placida boat ramp, even at a slow idle, which makes this a pretty safe place to fish. The bridge is lighted structure, which is well known to attract snook. This time of year, the salinity is high here because of the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, and there are lots of snook in the area since they congregate on the beaches to spawn. In addition to the snook, you can expect to find bull redfish that move in from the Gulf to feed after dark. The reds will often move along the trestle, where you can also find some jumbo mangrove snapper. The U.S. 41 bridges over the Peace River will also hold snook, though maybe not as many as Placida because the water in the upper Harbor is less salty. However, there are some big resident fish that stay here most of the time, apparently opting out of the spawning festivities. Cobia sometimes cruise though here in the wee hours, probably drawn by the crabs and whiting that are usually plentiful in the area. The mouth of the Peace River is often loaded with tiny baitfish fry this time of year, which draws a lot of ladyfish. Tarpon show up to eat both the ladies and the baby baitfish. At night the bridge area is quieter due to less boat and vehicle traffic and also lighted, which brings the tiny zooplankton to the surface and gets the food chain going. Put your boat in at Laishley Park and youre just moments away from fishing. Be prepared to hunt around a bit, because the fish prefer different places on different nights. In the mouth of the Myakka River, El Jobean has been a favorite haunt of night snookers for many years. As with the other spots, there are snook here too, but El Jo is sort of its own little ecosystem because of the two bridges and the trestle in such a small area. All this structure is great habitat for predatory fish, providing lots of ambush points, and great habitat for smaller fish because there are lots of hiding spots. This place is tough to pattern, but its rare to go to El Jobean and not catch something. In addition to the snook, some of the other night fish here include tarpon, redfish, mangrove snapper, pompano, trout and cobia. Of course, you wont catch them all on the same night (usually). Launch your boat at the county ramp, go down the canal and run out to the middle of the river, then turn and go toward the bridges. Theres a shallow flat to the right of the channel, and unless youre familiar with it you can end up grounded. The Intracoastal Waterway in Venice has lots of fishy spots, including multiple lighted docks (both above-water and underwater lights) and of course the Albee Road Bridge. As with Placida, this area is near the Gulf and so you should expect lots of snook and probably some big reds. There are also some very nice trout that sometimes hang around the underwater lights shadow lines. The Higel Park boat ramp on Tarpon Center Drive, right next to the Venice Yacht Club, offers easy access to this waterway. Most of the saltwater canals in Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda offer good fishing at night. If you happen to live on one of these canals, the best way to proceed is to stay on the trolling motor and never fire up the big engine. You can cruise silently without disturbing the neighborhood or the fish, and there are any number of lighted areas that serve as fish concentration points. If youre a more experienced boater and familiar with local waters, you can certainly fish in other locations at night. The flats become an entirely different place after the sun goes down and the boat traffic dies off. Fish tend to abandon their hiding spots in the deep grass and under the mangroves, instead moving about more freely. Phosphorescent algae provide light on the dark flats, flashing as fish move past them. Sometimes the glowing algae is so thick you can even identify the fish species by the light trails they leave. Drums will be drumming, baitfish will be flipping out of the water, and fish will be popping all around you. It can be magical, but be careful getting there „ its only too easy to drive onto a sandbar (or worse, an oyster bar) in the dark. Plan your route while you can see, and remember theres no need to go zipping around at top speed after sunset. Night tackle is mostly the same as daytime tackle, with minor exceptions. When the waters dark or murky, fluorocarbon leader has less of an advantage over monofilament. When the waters clear, it usually is worth the extra expense. Right now, especially at night, not so much, unless youre fishing in well-lit areas. Also, the fish wont be able to see your offering as well. If you usually fish with a quiet lure, consider adding a bit of sound. Swapping out your regular jighead for a Rockport Rattler may make just enough noise to help fish find what youre throwing. Or, add some scent with Pro-Cure or FishBites. If youre a bait angler, try a fresh dead or frozen bait cut open to release lots of scent. Fishing at night is an otherworldly experience for those who have wet a line only in daylight hours, but once you try it you may find yourself becoming more and more of a vampire, sleeping the day away and spending more time stirring at night. As long as you dont start drinking blood, its not a bad thing.

€ PAGE 7 € JULY 6, 2023BoatingAndFishing.com Shutterstock photoYou and I might be the present, but hes the future. The next generationThe majority of people who go out on the water here in Southwest Florida do so with one simple goal. Fun,Ž however we define it, is why we leave the comfort of our air-conditioned homes in search of water. Fishing can be fun for many, while quite a few Floridians spend hours on a sandbar making new friends and listening to music. Amen. If you ask these recreational weekend warriors, they will almost all say, Yes, the environment is important. Sure, preserving our habitat is something worth spending state funds on.Ž But it ends there, and I write this without an air of moral superiority over those who simply want to enjoy a couple days on the water, minus the guilt trip. Time can be a tyrant. During our years building a career and family, it lords over us. Who has time to read an article on seagrass loss in Charlotte County? Too few. Write the governor demanding answers for Piney Point? Pu-lease. Maybe thats why I see older people more involved in conservation efforts. Unshackled from the daily grind of work, retirees often look for ways to leave a positive mark on this Big Blue Marble, whether helping a child learn to read or picking up trash along the shoreline of a state park. Earlier this month, I went boating with members of Lemon Bay Conservancy, as we assessed benthic areas around our local waters. It was good fun, with two marine biologists helping us understand the health of Lemon Bay after red tide events and a recent hurricane. What made the day extra special was that two young people joined us. Both are enrolled in local high schools, and both are very interested in marine science. They were attentive and alert to everything, leaning over to hear every utterance from the biologists as they explained the uniqueness of a horse conch and how to pronounce the scientific name for turtle grass. Several Florida high schools have marine biology departments that I couldnt have dreamed of back in my day. Would great teachers and a curriculum like that have changed your future or mine? Quite possibly. When I joined a group of researchers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute tagging sawfish, I was struck by the youthful passion of the scientists babysitting this old dude on their boat. It was another day of work for them, but somehow they cast a really energetic vibe „ not of cockiness, but of commitment. Youth is where its at. Sitting through last months Watershed Summit, hosted by the Coastal and Heartland National Estuary Partnership, I couldnt help but notice that a good number of the speakers were young, with more than a few still in their 20s. Its been said that youth is wasted on the young, but these folks were total experts. I learned much from these „ dare I say it „ whippersnappers. On one of my first trips as an airline pilot, standing at the cockpit door saying goodbye to passengers, a woman looked me over. If Id a known my pilot was so young, Id a never gotten on this damn thing!Ž she sputtered. The gray hair and wrinkles eventually came to me, and with them the tendency to give out free advice. Young people, if you are motivated by seeing a dolphin or manatee, you just might look into a career as a marine biologist. Even if swayed in another direction, like the Thalassia testudinum pulled by currents beneath the surface of our beloved Lemon Bay, I hope you have time to give pause and appreciate whats so close by and so important.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 8 € JULY 6, 2023 WaterLine file photoCasting to the bushes is not the easiest way to fish while paddling. But if you want to catch the gamefish that hang out there, youll need to learn how to manage it. Into the trees The challenges of shing the mangroves from a kayakThousands of miles of mangroves border the bays and estuaries of Southwest Florida. The roots of the red mangrove create a safe haven for juvenile gamefish as well as the crustaceans that redfish and snook enjoy. Without mangroves, many would agree, the great fishing around here would be a shadow of what it is now. Understanding how to identify and fish this mangrove habitat from a kayak ensures you can find a spot out of the wind and away from crowds any day you want. So, lets look at how mangrove shorelines vary and how that affects a kayak angler.Not all mangroves are the same. The anglers favorite is the red mangrove. The prop roots these trees put down in shallow water form a shelter for juvenile gamefish and crabs, and offer attachment points for oysters and barnacles. This tree provides room and board for lots of gamefish as they mature.Some, including snook, redfish and mangrove snapper, never really leave home. They just move to the edge of this maze and concentrate on eating anything smaller than themselves. Luckily for them, the tide flows into this labyrinth and drains back out laden with goodies. Thats why fishing the falling tide is often best. At the bottom of low tide, the gamefish youre looking for are usually a short distance from the mangroves, often in sand holes that are a little deeper than the grass surrounding them. During high tide, even the big predators may slip back into the roots in search of a meal, well out of our reach.As a kayak angler, you can access many mangrove shorelines that pose problems for boaters and waders. Look for red mangroves that are close to deeper flats where larger fish can hang out during low tide. You may find a deeper trough along the edge of the mangroves. Consider this prime territory. Often these channels will be inside of a large, shallow flat that will eliminate competition from boaters and wading anglers, especially if the bottom is muddy. In the winter, these sheltered, muddy flats warm quickly in the sun, which contributes to the action youll find along the mangroves. Slowly paddle along an easy cast from the mangroves. If youre really lucky, the wind might let you drift on that track. Toss your lure, jig or bait into the indentations along the shoreline. On a falling tide, most fish will be facing the mangroves, which will help conceal your approach. Our friend and guide extraordinaire, Capt. Rick Grassett, reassures his clients by saying, If youre not catching a tree every now and then, youre not casting close enough.Ž We agree „ the difference between a good cast and hooking a tree is sometimes less than an inch. We use plastic shrimp and crabs, or sixteenth-ounce jigs with new penny Gulp! when targeting redfish. When the focus is snook, we like sixteenth-ounce jigheads with shad tails in baitfish colors. A big live shrimp is always a good choice, but the same baitfish the predators are hunting will quickly dismantle your handpicked shrimp. If you find a spot with redfish or snook cruising by with some frequency, try anchoring and freelining a piece of cutbait into their path. Hand-to-hand combat is how most kayak anglers describe the quick trip into the mangroves after tangling with a heavy snook. We suggest staking out or anchoring to prevent a tour of the mangroves. But in the seconds between quietly drifting along a mangrove shore and being towed into the bushes, most folks just hang on and brace for impact. Well offer some suggestions on how to avoid being pulled into the mangroves, but we cannot guarantee any of them will work for you in close quarters. Staying farther from the mangroves helps, but this will affect your accuracy. If youre in really shallow water, you could put a foot on the bottom. In a larger kayak, orienting it parallel to the shore may give you a few more seconds to take action. An instant anchor might help, but may lack the holding power necessary to stop a snook. A stake-out pole or Power-Pole Micro might be the best choice if you can operate it with the hand not holding the rod „ but thats the one turning the reel! Brace for impact! As you enter the tree line, not breaking your rod will become a priority. Our best advice is to point the rod toward the back of the kayak and grab the line while fending off branches, spiders and tree crabs. With a little luck, the snook will swim back out the way he came in, or you might be able to handline him away from the roots. A snook will sometimes swim out of the mangroves down the shoreline a ways. If your line is terminally tangled in the branches, park your rod in a mangrove, back your kayak out and paddle down to land, photograph, revive and release your exhausted catch. Then cut the lure off and return to retrieve your rod. Reel in the line and replace the leader, which is probably now frayed from being dragged across branches, barnacles, oysters and other sharp objects. Tie on your favorite lure and youre set for another epic battle.

€ PAGE 9 € JULY 6, 2023BoatingAndFishing.com WaterLine file photoTannic summer waters put a little extra color in all our favorite inshore gamefish. A good time on the waterI got to spend five consecutive days fishing around Charlotte Harbor recently. It was informative to explore old areas searching for fish. Finding baitfish was challenging, but much of that was because its late in the season and it was very windy. We had an abundance of southwest winds and storms to add to our challenges, but it was a large group from out of town and whatever we had for weather we were fishing. These corporate groups help stimulate our local economy. In the areas with healthy seagrasses, we found trout, Spanish mackerel and sharks. Healthy areas also had baitfish and bird activity. In areas with algae covering the grass, we found catfish or nothing. Many of our fish were larger and beautifully colored by our tannic waters. The darker runoff waters of the back country were hotter, and our baitfish didnt survive well. Open water areas with current flow produced better for us. Minnows were lively in the greener waters despite some suspended silt from the rough surf. Our guests caught fish and we all worked hard to ensure they enjoyed their visit to our area. Its a corporate gathering to help develop deeper, more personal relationships with employees and clients. They bring significant income to Boca Grande and our local guides. No one controls the weather, but our island hospitality and Gasparilla Inn made them feel welcome and kept them entertained. I read and gather lots of information. I was surprised to see an article in the Sun newspaper stating saltwater anglers spend $9.2 billion annually fishing in Florida. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says all our fishing contributes $13.8 billion to our economy. Thats a big impact, and thats billions of reasons to protect our fisheries and wildlife. The article also stated we can expect harmful red tide algae blooms lasting an average of six months in 17 of 20 years, leading to probable fish kills. This is scary for those of us who depend on water quality and fishing for our income. It also affects our quality of life, because most of us are not going boating with dead fish! The article was about redfish releases by Mote Marine Laboratory funded by Salt Strong, an online recreational fishing club. They anticipate releasing about 20,000 to 30,000 in Sarasota and Charlotte waters. Its encouraging to see businesses working together with Mote to support our fisheries. Salt Strong contributed $100,000 for redfish to be released to help stocks rebuild. This is a big expense. Lets hope its not wasted by red tide outbreaks. Its good to see positive contributions helping, but we need to remember we do have issues to address and challenges with maintaining our fish stocks and fisheries. Lets all help protect our natural resources. Be safe and enjoy our waters with family and friends. Remember, you cant catch fish if you dont go fishin, so lets go fishin soon. Capt.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 11 € JULY 6, 2023 Shutterstock photoYou might not be happy to see tubers or water-skiers or airboaters in your fishing honeyhole, but remember they have just as much right to the water as you do. Safety first in summer crowdsThere are numerous things that can go wrong on the water. For example, you can lose your lower unit instantly if you are not careful where you operate your boat (yes, that happened to me a few years ago). Outside of the low water conditions, which the rains seem to be taking care of for us, there are many other things to look out for when operating on inland waterways. The thing that always makes me the most nervous when I am fishing is other boats „ especially those that are towing a skier, or a tube or two full of youngsters. These folks have as much right to the water as we fishermen do. I have friends who own boats but just dont enjoy fishing. Go figure.Nevertheless, anytime I operate my boat on waters where the numbers of recreational boats are up, I am extremely cautious. The ones that can sneak up on you on the lake are the airboats. They surely cannot hear you, and if you are back in the cattails, you better make sure they can see you.When it comes to boater operation, safety has to be the first thought in everyones minds. Years ago, we had a fishing tournament on the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. The day was hot and calm, drawing many boats of all kinds to the water. One kid on a Jet Ski was doing his best to ruin the day for each angler in the tournament. As we came in from the different canals, he would chase the bass boats and try to jump their wakes. A few times he managed to fall off the watercraft and put himself in harms way of the next oncoming boat.As we hit the shore, the Jet Ski rider proceeded to run behind all the boats on the beach and cause a wake that kept them bumping into each other and rubbing against one another. A few of the anglers had had enough of this and pushed off one of the boats to go out and confront him and try to get him to slow down. The Jet Ski rider saw them idling out and immediately hit the throttle, running the Jet Ski up on shore where he ditched it and ran to his father. After the anglers had some dialogue with the father, the Jet Ski was promptly removed from the water, and the troublemaking kid was not seen on the lake the rest of the day. This is just one example of things that go on the lake that can cause people to become greatly upset. You never know how another individual sees a situation. To confront someone in a hostile manner is never a good thing in the first place. If you do, you better be ready for whatever response you get. I choose to err on the side of caution. I will idle in where there are a lot of boats around a beach. If you see an area where there are people skiing or tubing, give them room. Often they are simply looking for some flat water to run on and have the most fun they possibly can. If you tournament fish, you know that there will be excess boat wakes in the morning, and when you weigh in. Fall in line with those around you and simply become part of the parade until you get to enough open water to run in. Dont try to outrace everyone on the water to see how fast your boat is. Show some common sense. If you see the other guy not backing off the throttle, slow your own boat down and let them go. There are too many things that can go wrong on the water. I have had friends experience some terrible mishaps over the years on the water. I think with a little more attention to detail, most or all of these situations could have been avoided. I think the one thing that scares me the most is fog. When we fish on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and launch in the river, the fog can be treacherous in the morning hours. Whether you run with your lights on or not, there is no way to come to a complete stop if you are moving up on someone too fast. In these situations, try to pay very close attention to the boat in front of you. If you cant see him, look for his wake. By being able to read the wake, you can keep yourself from running up on someone. You just have to hope that the guy behind you can do the same. As a matter of fact, if the fog is that bad, stay on the shore until it lifts. Most times, unless you have a GPS, you wont find your spot anyhow. My best advice is to simply show patience. Getting upset, or being in a position to become upset, will only ruin your day and possibly someone elses. With that said, I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable summer on the water.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 12 € JULY 6, 2023 WaterLine file photoTarpon seasonŽ is over, which means that the best part of tarpon season is just getting started. Midsummer tarponAfter the Fourth of July is over, probably the single most asked question I get from potential clients looking for a charter is, Can we still target tarpon?Ž My answer is always, Absolutely!Ž July is by far my favorite month to fish for the mighty silver kings of Charlotte Harbor and Boca Grande. Contrary to popular belief, Southwest Floridas tarpon season is not just during the months of May and June. Though its true thats when tarpon bunch up in tighter and larger schools, that does not mean those are the only months theyre here, nor does it mean theyre the only „ or even the best „ months to catch them. Now, youll get no argument from me that May and June are great months to target tarpon. Believe me, there are a ton of tarpon hooked and landed during these months. If you live for chaos or thrive on controversy, then go ahead and only fish during what the marketing gurus deem tarpon season.Ž If you love people cutting off your hooked fish with their props, casting over your lines, driving their boats over the school of fish you just spent 20 minutes setting up on or calling you names, tarpon fishing in May and June is perfect for you.If you ask me (and I would think quite a few of the other local guides our area would agree) April, July, August and September are just as productive as the so called tarpon seasonŽ „ and they come with way less mayhem. I have never been quite sure why Charlotte, Sarasota and Lee counties dont market these other four months like they do May and June. I guess our local economies are doing so well we dont need an extra kick. I think that if all the local fishing guides, tackle shops, restaurants, hotels and resorts got together in a joint effort to let the world know just how good our tarpon (and redfish, snook, trout, grouper, snapper, shark) fishery is year-round, we could pull in a lot more tourists during the slow season. No more slow season „ now thats an awesome concept. So, now that tarpon seasonŽ is over, how do you find the majestic silver king?Finding tarpon right now really isnt much different from finding them during the height of the season. I pretty much start each morning running the beach from Gasparilla Pass all the way down to Boca Grande Pass. Ill usually run as close to the shoreline as possible while looking out into the Gulf. The tarpon are not going to be as bunched up and as easy to find as they are in May and June, but they are there „ all you have to do is pay attention to the water, and youll find them. Be sure to scrutinize any bait pods you may happen to come across; you never know what you might find. If I see anything that looks like a rolling or airborne fish, I slow down and give that area a good once-over. If I dont spot what Im looking for on the beach, then through the big pass and into Charlotte Harbor I go. Again, Im looking for fish that are willing to give up their location by either rolling on the surface or free-jumping. Great places to look in Charlotte Harbor include the front side of Devilfish Key, the 20-foot holes in the upper and lower Harbor, the U.S. 41 and El Jobean bridges, and the mouths of the Myakka and Peace rivers. Its tricky at first to tell a whitecap from a rolling tarpon, but tarpon are silver and waves are white. Train yourself to spot rolling fish and you have half the battle won. So, now that youve found them, how do you catch them? Personally, Im an artificials type of guy. I love throwing lures at just about every fish our area has to offer, but especially tarpon. My three favorite lures for tarpon are a half-ounce jighead with a DOA CAL shad tail, the trolling model DOA Bait Buster and the MirrOdine 17MR by MirrOlure (you have to upgrade the hooks when targeting tarpon, though). As far as color, I doubt there are any that wont work, but its not a bad idea to have several on hand if the tarpon are picky. There is just something about getting a tarpon to hit a lure that makes catching it more exciting, at least to me. Give one of these lures a chance and see what Im talking about.For you live bait aficionados, always try to match the hatch. If the tarpon are feeding on crabs or threadfins, dont throw ladyfish or sugar trout at them (and vice versa). Tarpon, along with just about every other fish in our area, become fixated on one type or size of bait at a time. If you throw something bigger or smaller at them then what theyre feeding on, youre not going to like the outcome. Match the hatch, match the hatch, match the hatch „ pretty simple, at least in theory. So lets recap. The real tarpon season runs from late March through at least October. Look for rolling or free-jumping fish to find them. Throw your bait of choice (that matches the hatch) in front of the school of fish, not behind it.And to learn more about catching tarpon, tune into the Radio Waterline each Saturday morning from 7 to 9 a.m. on KIX Country 92.9 FM. After all, tarpon are one of my favorite fish, and I just cant shut up about them.Tight lines. Capt.

Backyard birding en-USThe Venice Area Birding Association en-US takes a break in the summer months en-US and has no planned field trips. The en-US summer heat and humidity here in en-US Florida can be quite brutal. Most of en-US us VABAites are older and retired, en-US and hiking for miles in the heat is not en-US conducive to our good (or almost good) en-US health. So instead, we take the opporen-US -en-US tunity to enjoy our own backyards.en-US Our small Florida backyard jungle en-US has attracted many different species of en-US birds. I never tire of watching the show. en-US There are birds, of course, but we also en-US have many other types of wildlife visit en-US us here on the property. en-US We have had bobcats jogging en-US through, and there are often raccoons, en-US armadillos, opossums, rabbits, squiren-US -en-US rels, and many species of lizards and en-US snakes. The reptiles like to visit us. We en-US have scooped up lizards by the dozen en-US and even a snake here in the house. en-US I’ve been keeping a yard bird count, en-US and it’s up to 60 species of birds en-US that I have seen in the backyard or en-US flying overhead. My favorite fly-over en-US birds are swallow-tailed kites and en-US common nighthawks. We also see lots en-US of red-shouldered hawks, black and en-US turkey vultures and other flocks of birds en-US such as tree swallows.en-US During nesting season, wrens want en-US to nest in the garage. I guess if the en-US front door were open, they would just en-US fly right in. en-USOne of the favorite yard sightings en-US is the pileated woodpecker. This giant en-US woodpecker usually is heard long before en-US it is seen. The pecking is quite loud. en-US It digs into the bark of trees with its en-US long, strong beak to snack on insects. en-US Many people become annoyed with en-US this handsome bird when it decides to en-US hammer on the gutters and roof en-US especially at 5 a.m. on a Sunday.en-USWe have a beautiful dahoon holly en-US tree. Many of the birds like to eat the en-US bright red berries that grow on this en-US tree. Almost every year cedar waxwings en-US migrate through and pillage the tree. It en-US is very exciting to see a flock fly in and en-US wildly attack the holly, stripping it of en-US berries.en-US When the purple martins nest in the en-US martin house, we have to be on guard. en-US We have had great horned owls visit in en-US the wee hours of the morning looking en-US to snack on baby purple martins. Yes, en-US I have gone out in my nightie and en-US chased owls off the top of the martin en-US house, waving our pool brush so they en-US do not rip open the condo door and en-US eat the purple martin babies. No, there en-US is not a picture of me engaged in this en-US activity. en-USFish crows also attack the baby en-US martins. This year, the great crested en-US flycatcher nested in the purple martin en-US condo and so we were on watch, hoping en-US a predator would not harm the young.en-USWe have had many babies born here en-US at our little jungle. Cardinal babies are en-US predominant. They cry to be fed even en-US when they are out of the nest and en-US flying themselves. Just the other day, en-US one was loudly squawking on my back en-US step. Suddenly the female cardinal en-US flew in and fed her overgrown baby en-US practically at my feet. en-US Mockingbirds also nest here. They en-US bury their woven nests deep in the en-US bushes on a limb in the hope snakes en-US won’t find their eggs. We even had a en-US brown thrasher nest here, but the eggs en-US were gone one day — probably eaten en-US by a snake or raccoon.en-US Our yard has several feeders, which en-US attract many of the common resident en-US birds and also red-bellied woodpeckers. en-US Mourning doves and ground doves like en-US to come to the feeders to hunt for seed en-US that falls on the ground. During the en-US spring and fall migrations, we get to en-US see red-throated hummingbirds and en-US several species of warblers.en-US There is never a dull day in our en-US backyard — there’s always wildlife to en-US see and enjoy, every day of the year. en-US It’s one of the reasons I like living in en-US Southwest Florida.en-US Abbie Banks is a member of the Venice en-US Area Birding Association, a group of folks en-US who want to enjoy the environment and en-US nature (with a focus on birds, of course). en-US For more info on VABA or to be notified en-US of upcoming birding trips, email her at en-US Amberina@aol.com.

Don’t shine lights on or near the en-US beach, as this can disorient both adults and en-US hatchlings. Avoid digging holes or trenches in the en-US sand, as these can trap babies rushing toward en-US the surf. Don’t leave chairs or other debris on the en-US beaches, either — they can tangle turtles.en-US• If you hook a turtle, use a long dehooking tool en-US to remove the hook if possible. If not, cut the en-US line as close to the turtle as you can. Sea turtles en-US have very powerful jaws — be careful.en-US • Keep a close watch when boating in areas turen-US-en-US tles are know to frequent. They have to surface en-US to breathe and can be hit.
