PAGE 4A SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comThe case was previously set to be tried more than a year ago but was delayed. The lawsuit was “led in October 2018 against JHACH; Suncoast Center Inc. and its employee, Dr. Sally M. Smith; Catherine Bedy, a JHACH employee; the Department of Children and Families, as custodian of the records of Mayas case; and JHACHs parent company, Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation Inc. The familys eighth amended complaint, “led Jan. 24, alleges claims including the negligent and intentional in”iction of emotional distress; medical malpractice; battery; and fraud. The defendants deny the allegations and have raised a variety of defenses to them, including immunity under Florida law. Summary judgment was entered in favor of Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation Inc. on the claim against it, and most of the claims referring to Smith and Suncoast have been settled, for a reported $2.5 million. The Kowalskis are seeking punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. CRPS In July 2015, when Maya was 9, the complaint says, she had a severe asthma attack and was admitted to JHACH. While there, she experienced severe pain and extreme weakness and would begin crying at a light touch of any body part. Her potential diagnosis, it says, was steroid-induced myopathy „ a muscle disorder. However, doctors were unable to determine if that or something else was the cause of her condition. About two months later she was seen by Dr. Anthony Kirkpatrick, a pain management specialist in Tampa who says in the documentary that it was obvious on her “rst visit with him that she was suering from complex regional pain syndrome. Its a neurological condition that occurs predominantly in girls, with an increase in incidence between the ages of 9 and 11, he says. His diagnosis was con“rmed by other experts, according to the complaint. Kirkpatrick has had success treating CRPS with ketamine, which isnt an opioid, because it temporarily blocks pain receptors, reversing the sensitization process, the complaint says. Ketamine treatments helped, it says, but Kirkpatrick and Mayas other doctors recommended that she be put into a medically induced coma for “ve days and given a high dose of the drug. That meant a trip to Mexico because the treatment isnt available in the United States, it says. The treatment was eective, though Maya continued with ketamine therapy afterward, and in March 2016 had a tube known as a portŽ surgically implanted at JHACH to facilitate her treatment, the complaint says. Her treatments became less frequent through the summer as she improved, until she experienced a ”areup of her CRPS in September and they were increased again. Then she had a recurrence of stomach pain and vomiting in October and Jack took her to JHACH, where they were later joined by Beata. The complaint says hospital doctors con“rmed with one of her physicians what Jack and Beata were telling them about Maya: that she was being treated for CRPS with higher-than-usual doses of ketamine. The complaint alleges that sta became offended and defensiveŽ by what Beata, a registered nurse, and Jack, a retired “re“ghter, were telling them, and a social worker reported Beata to the Department of Children and Families Child Abuse Hotline. A DCF investigator con“rmed Mayas diagnosis and treatment and the complaint was closed the same day, according to the complaint. The next day, it says, her parents informed JCACH they wanted to have Maya discharged so she could be taken to another facility. They were told hospital security would stop them if they tried to leave with her. They made the same request the following day, triggering a second call to the abuse hotline that included in”ated, unsubstantiated claims regarding Beatas alleged medical child abuseŽ of Maya, the complaint says. A preliminary report by Smith says Maya didnt meet the diagnostic criteria for CRPS and more likely was a victim of Pediatric Condition Falsi“cation Syndrome.Ž PCFS is also known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy.Ž In short, Smith was alleging Beata had fabricated or induced illness in Maya as a way to get attention. Maya was put in protective state custody by DCF on Oct. 13 and a court order entered the next day con“rmed it. In footage of the hearing in the documentary, Beata can be heard fainting and slumping to the ”oor after the judges ruling. Evaluated at a hospital afterward, she was diagnosed with acute stress and grief reaction, the complaint says. The Kowalskis repeatedly, and unsuccessfully, sought review of the judges order, it says, with their prolonged separation from Maya manifesting in Beatas depression, fatigue and overwhelming sense of hopelessness.Ž Several doctors at JHACH went so far as to predict she would commit suicide, it says. She did, according to the complaint, because she had become convinced that only taking herself completely out of the pictureŽ would save Maya. The note she left says in part that I can no longer take the pain being treated like a criminal. I cannot watch my daughter suer in pain and keep getting worse.Ž Maya was released to her fathers custody the week following Beatas death, over JCACHs objection, according to the complaint. Two weeks later a court-appointed psychologist submitted a report to the court stating that three doctors had con“rmed her CRPS diagnosis and three mental health professionals had evaluated her without “nding PCFS. The same day DCF dismissed its case and asked that Maya be released from shelter status, the complaint says. Despite disputing Mayas condition, it says, JHACH billed the Kowalskis insurance for treating her for CRPS. Its the basis for one of the fraud claims. According to the documentary, the family has struggled through the years of slow legal action. I want to speak but I cant without crying,Ž Maya says. I hate crying.ŽMEDICALFROM PAGE 1A By BOB MUDGESENIOR WRITERSARASOTA „ Pretrial publicity is a major concern for the attorneys representing the defendants in a lawsuit brought by a Venice family. Jack, Maya and Kyle Kowalski sued Johns Hopkins All Childrens Hospital Inc. for a variety of claims arising out of Mayas hospitalization and subsequent 87-day stay in state protective custody in 2016 and 2017 because of suspected child abuse. Accused of having manufactured Mayas illness, her mother, Beata, took her own life believing, according to the complaint in the lawsuit, that Maya would be released from custody if she were removed from the family. She was returned to her father the following week and the Department of Children and Families dismissed its case two weeks later. A Net”ix documentary about the matter, Take Care of Maya,Ž and related publicity as a September trial date nears, has generated threats against their clients and poses a threat to empaneling an impartial jury, lawyers said at a hearing Friday afternoon. Attorney Chris Altenbernd called it a carefully orchestrated docudramaŽ timed to come out before the trial. Its one-sided,Ž he said, and contains information Circuit Judge Hunter Carroll has already ruled inadmissible. Its a fantasyŽ to think people who watched it could put their reactions aside, he said. Theres no way were going to be able to cure the people who have seen this,Ž he said. Carroll reminded him the case was originally set to go to trial in April 2022 but was delayed because JHACH appealed a ruling regarding punitive damages. The makers of the documentary had planned to include “lm of the trial in it, he said. Attorney Patricia Crauwels represents defendant Catherine Bedy, a JHACH social worker accused in the complaint of battery and false imprisonment. She said her client has been the target of death threats and suggested disqualifying anyone who has seen the documentary from serving as a juror. Carroll said he cant issue a blanket order to that eect. Jurors who make an initial cut regarding whether theyre able to serve the length of the trial „ an estimated two months „ will need to be questioned individually about whether they can remain impartial, he said. I might be playing defense here,Ž he said while expressing an unwillingness to do anything that might interfere with any partys rights in jury selection and cause a mistrial. His concern, he said, is to bring in enough potential jurors to be able to “ll a panel plus alternates, given the time commitment as well as any issues related to pretrial publicity. He may allot up to three weeks to get a jury seated, he said, because getting to the point of trial and not being able to empanel one would be bad.Ž SCREENSHOTIn this screenshot from the Netix documentary, Take Care of Maya,Ž the Kowalski family is pictured, including Maya (bottom left), her dad, Jack, and her mother, Beata.Lawyers worried documentary will hurt defenseClients threatened after Take Care of Maya released, they say I can no longer take the pain being treated like a criminal.

PAGE 6A SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDAAn administrative law judge Thursday rejected a challenge to Florida Department of Education rules that are part of a move to increase scrutiny of books in schools. Judge Darren Schwartz issued a 23page order that dismissed the challenge by the Florida Education Association teachers union. The case involved two rules designed to carry out a 2022 state law. One of the rules involves required online training for school librarians and other employees involved in selecting books for students; the other rule requires elementary schools to post online lists of reading materials. The 2022 law referred to books and materials in a school library media center,Ž and the Florida Education Association argued that the Department of Education improperly applied the requirements to books and materials in classrooms. The union contended that the rules were invalid, in part, because the department had overstepped its authority. But Schwartz wrote that the departments de“ nition of library media centerŽ to include classrooms was consistent with the law. Restricting the de“ nition of library media center to only central libraries, as FEA suggests, would thwart the objectives of (the law) to put safeguards in place so that only age-appropriate and non-harmful books will end up in the hands of children, and would render meaningless the statutory directives that the department has been tasked to implement,Ž he wrote. It makes no sense that the Legislature would enact a law to keep age-inappropriate and harmful books out of the hands of students in central libraries, only to allow such books to be available to students down the hall in classrooms where such books may be even more available to children. It is unequivocal that the department had speci“ c rulemaking authority to promulgate the rules; that the department had discretion to de“ ne terms in the rules as part of its rulemaking authority; and that the de“ nition of library media center in the rules is the only reasonable meaning both consistent with, and required by, the relevant statutory authority.ŽJudge backs state on book rules was shot by a neighbor, who Cooper said had argued with her brother over a stray “ rework that landed in the property across the street. A small “ re that emerged was quickly put out by “ re“ ghters, she went on to say, but the argument still escalated to the point that the neighbor retrieved his gun and shot Hanson. No charges have been “ led in connection to Hansons death as of Friday evening. Representatives of the Charlotte County Sheri s O ce have stated that updates on the case will wait for the results of an autopsy of Hansons body. Both Cooper and Martins said the suspected shooter was using a perversion of Floridas Stand Your GroundŽ law as a defense for the shooting. How do you shoot someone in broad daylight, with two witnesses, and not go to jail?Ž Cooper said. She also spoke about the severe trauma the family experienced in the wake of the shooting, such as Hansons youngest child fearing to return to the family home. A CCSO patrol car regularly made rounds around Corinne Avenue as the vigil continued into the night. The shooter was not present on the neighboring property during the vigil, though mourners did say that they spotted a known friend of his pacing back and forth on the property. The Hanson family urged mourners to avoid contact with the person and to avoid parking or stepping onto the property in question. Were here to honor Matt, and Matt alone,Ž one family member said over speakerphone. The man alleged to have shot Hanson remained at the scene Wednesday when deputies arrived. Authorities said that he was cooperativeŽ with the deputies as they investigated the area around Corinne Avenue. The CCSO has not named the man who “ red the shot. Email: frank.di“ ore@ yoursun.comMEMORIALFROM PAGE 1A SUN PHOTOS BY FRANK DIFIOREMourners decorated the vigil site with balloon, candles, wooden branches, and stones, as well as memorabilia from Matt Hansons favorite teams.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 PAGE 7A By SETH BORENSTEINASSOCIATED PRESSEarths average temperature set a new unocial record high on Thursday, the third such milestone in a week that already rated as the hottest on record and what one prominent scientist says could be the hottest in 120,000 years. But its also a record with some legitimate scienti“c questions and caveats, so much so that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has distanced itself from it. Its grabbed global attention, even as the number „ 63 degrees Fahrenheit „ doesnt look that hot because it averages temperatures from around the globe. Still, scientists say the daily drumbeat of records „ ocial or not „ is a symptom of a larger problem where the precise digits arent as important as whats causing them. Records grab attention, but we need to make sure to connect them with the things that actually matter,Ž climate scientist Friederike Otto of the Imperial College of London said in an email. So I dont think its crucial how ocial the numbers are, what matters is that they are huge and dangerous and wouldnt have happened without climate change.Ž Thursdays planetary average surpassed the 62.9-degree mark set Tuesday and equaled Wednesday, according to data from the University of Maines Climate Reanalyzer, a tool that uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the worlds condition. Until Monday, no day had passed the 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit in the tools 44 years of records. Now, the entire week that ended Thursday averaged that much. Johan Rockstrom, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, called the 63-degree mark an exceptional outlierŽ that is nearly 6 degrees warmer than the average of the last 12,000 years. Rockstrom said it will with high likelihood translate to even more severe extremes in the form of ”oods, droughts, heat waves and storms.Ž It is certainly plausible that the past couple days and past week were the warmest days globally in 120,000 years,Ž University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann said. He cited a 2021 study that says Earth is the warmest since the last age ended, and said Earth likely hasnt been as warm dating all the way to the ice age before that some 120,000 years ago. Climate scientist Zeke Hausfather of the tech company Stripe and Berkeley Earth temperature monitoring group said he wouldnt be surprised if it is the warmest in 120,000 years. But he said long-term proxy measurements like tree rings arent precise. This weeks average includes places that are sweltering under dangerous heat „ like Jingxing, China, which checked in almost 110 degrees Fahrenheit „ and the merely unusually warm, like Antarctica, where temperatures across much of the continent were as much as 8 degrees Fahrenheit above normal this week. By CHRISTOPHER RUGABERAP ECONOMICS WRITERWASHINGTON „ Another month, another solid gain for Americas job market. The pace of hiring by businesses and government agencies in June „ 209,000 added jobs „ was the smallest monthly gain in 2 1/2 years. Yet it was still a healthy increase, enough to reduce the unemployment rate from 3.7% to 3.6%, barely above a half-century low. And it amounted to further evidence of an economy that has de“ed persistent forecasts of a recession. The latest sign of economic strength makes it all but certain that the Federal Reserve will resume its interest rate hikes later this month after having ended a streak of 10 rate increases that were intended to curb high in”ation. Yet there were also signals in Fridays government report that the job market is cooling to a more sustainable pace of growth „ a trend that, if it continues, could reassure the Fed that its rate hikes are reducing in”ation pressures without derailing the economy. This is kind of a Goldilocks report,Ž said Julia Coronado, president of MacroPolicy Perspectives, an economic research “rm. Its a resilient labor market „ not too hot, not too cool.Ž WHY IS HIRING SO CONSISTENT? The economy has been beset by high interest rates, elevated in”ation and nagging worries about a possible recession resulting from the Feds aggressive eorts to quell price increases. Several factors, though, are countering those headwinds and helping perpetuate hiring, which typically boosts consumer spending and propels the economy. Industries that are particularly sensitive to higher borrowing costs „ such as housing and car sales „ appear to have adjusted to the Feds higher rates. To take one example: Mortgage rates have nearly doubled since the Fed began raising borrowing costs 15 months ago. But most of that increase had occurred by last fall. In recent months, housing has shown signs of rebounding, with sales and construction of new homes picking up. And higher interest rates normally would be expected to spur job losses in construction and manufacturing. This time, the opposite has happened: Construction “rms added 23,000 jobs last month, automakers 4,300. There are so few homes available that even reduced demand for housing is spurring more construction „ and more jobs. Likewise, despite sharply higher loan rates, auto sales have risen this year largely because of pent-up demand after years of reduced supply. Construction companies are also bene“ting from ongoing infrastructure spending by the Biden administration, and so are other industries. Mick Groneweld is CEO of one such company, Fehr Graham, an environmental engineering “rm based in Rockford, Illinois. Groneweld says his company is looking to add at least 40 workers to its 230-person sta. The company, which designs water and wastewater projects and roads and industrial parks, mostly for cities and towns, is seeing healthy demand for its services. It is seeking to hire engineers, environmental scientists, accountants and surveyors. Another trend stoking its hiring: Many of Fehr Grahams employees retired during the pandemic and its aftermath, and the company needs more younger workers. He estimates that his company has raised salaries 10%-15% just from a year ago to try to attract more job seekers. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS THAT THINGS ARE COOLING? The most visible sign that hiring is slowing is that fewer industries are actually adding jobs. Most of last months job growth came in three broad categories that are largely insulated from economic trends: State and local governments, health care providers and private education. Together, they added 133,000 jobs. Because those sectors dont depend on robust consumer spending as much as the rest of the economy does, their hiring gains dont really re”ect rising consumer demand „ the main fuel for in”ation. By contrast, retailers, transportation and warehousing “rms as well as temporary stang agencies all cut workers. A loss of temp jobs can be an early signal that companies need less labor. Dean Baker, senior economist at the Center for Economic Policy Research, noted that excluding government hiring, private-sector job gains totaled 149,000 in June, a pace that does not necessarily point to an overheating economy that would alarm the Fed. Its hard to say thats too fast,Ž Baker said. Thats pretty much sustainable.Ž The governments report Friday also showed that the economy gained 110,000 fewer jobs in April and May than it had previously estimated. Over the past three months, job growth excluding government has averaged 196,000 a month, down from 317,000 a month a year ago. And the unemployment rate for Black Americans rose for a second straight month, to 6%, after having reached a record low of 4.7% in April. Some economists see Black workers as often the “rst to be laid o when the economy slows. HOW WILL THE FEDERAL RESERVE RESPOND? A rate hike at the Feds meeting later this month is considered all but assured. Whether the Fed will hike again when it next meets in September is harder to foresee. The central banks policymakers may take solace from the slowdown in hiring, particularly once they exclude government jobs, which dont re”ect the state of demand in the economy. Fed ocials signaled last month that they envision as many as two additional quarter-point rate hikes before the year ends. But Chair Jerome Powell has also said he hopes to engineer a so-called soft landing,Ž in which the economy would slow enough to tame in”ation but not enough to succumb to a recession. Fridays jobs report suggests that the Fed may achieve that often-elusive goal, economists said.June hiring could help achieve a soft landing economyEarth sets an unofficial heat record the third time this week AP PHOTO/ANDY WONG A woman uses a fan to cool a child on a hot day on June 29 in Beijing.

She gets excellent grades and is a top lifter on the girls weightlifting team. She quali“ ed for states last season and is willing to help anyone who needs it. Outside of school, the senior enjoys her true passion, 1,000 feet at a time behind the wheel of a dragster. Along with her father and three siblings, dAprile competes on the drag racing circuit, doing the strips of pavement in her own junior dragster, with many of their races happening in Bradenton. She has even won three races at the local level, including a prestigious Wally.Ž She found it easy to get into racing. Her father, Tommy had done it for decades and her twin siblings were already competing. Hes been racing forever, since he was 16,Ž dAprile said. When he won a world championship in Pro-Mods in 2018, thats when I got interested. I saw how far he can go.Ž Being just 14 at the time, the thought of her doing 300-mph in a top-fuel or funny car was out of the question. She would have to earn her stripes and wait until COVID-19 was gone. She would start out in a 7.90 junior dragster, which is about half the size of a top-fuel dragster and goes at a top speed of about 85 mph for about an-eighth of a mile. Heres how it works: dAprile dials-inŽ the time she estimates it will take for her car to cross the “ nish line. If she or her opponent goes faster than dialed-in, they are disquali“ ed. If both cars go over, the one who breaks out by the smallest amount wins. This makes consistency of performance of the driver and car more important than raw speed, since victory goes to the driver able to more precisely predict elapsed time.Life for Port Charlotte student a real dragWhen not in class, dAprile is behind the wheel PHOTO PROVIDEDPort Charlotte senior Cassidy dAprile can often be found behind the wheel of her dragster when not in school. She has found some success in the sport she rst decided to take up at age 14. COMMENTARY MLBOn Thursday, the more than 300 survivors of Ohio State team doctor Richard Strauss sexual predations “ nally had their “ rst meaningful day in court. This, after a years-long struggle to get in the room. The road to Thursday had begun in 2021 with a ruling by Southern District of Ohio Judge Michael E. Watson, dismissing the survivors lawsuits based on the expiration of a statute of limitations regarding Strauss crimes. Watson ignored the Title IX aspect of the cases. Last year, the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision, essentially creating landmark ruling supporting the power of Title IX to hold universities responsible from the moment an alleged crime is uncovered, rather than when it was committed. After failing to get the appellate court to engage in a rare, en banc review, Ohio State appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. That petition never made it through the front door, which sent everyone back to the beginning … Judge Watsons court room on Thursday afternoon. Strauss reign of terror at Ohio State spanned 1978 to 1996. He retired from OSU in 1998 with a clean personnel “ le and emeritus status. He took his own life in 2005. Thirteen years later, Ohio States long pattern of dubious behavior regarding Strauss came to light and survivors began coming forward. They would eventually number in the hundreds. In 2019, the Perkins Coie report laid bare, in part, just how egregious OSUs inaction and secrecy had been. From the very beginning, OSU hid behind the state of Ohios statute of limitations regarding Strauss crimes. In 2019, Title IXs application was still little more than a legal theory, so Lemon Bay Highs Michael Schyck … one of the many Buckeye wrestlers who suffered multiple assaults by Strauss over eight years in the mid-1980s and early 1990s … turned to the Ohio State Legislature for a remedy. House Bill 249 had been proposed in Columbus. The bill would allow a special exemption of the states statutes of limitation for Strauss survivors. Schyck and seven other survivors, along with their spouses and parents, laid bare their personal stories of abuse and emotional distress for the House Civil Justice Committee.

PAGE 2B SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comBORDEAUX, France (AP) „ It was not so long ago that Jasper Philipsen was nicknamed Jasper Disaster.Ž In the space of a week at the Tour de France, he has morphed into Jasper The Master,Ž dominating the sprints with ease. The Belgian rider secured a hat trick of stages on Friday by claiming yet another mass sprint in Bordeaux. Philipsen was expertly led to the front by his Alpecin…Deceuninck teammate Mathieu van der Poel then comf ortably countered a move by veteran sprinter Mark Cavendish. Biniam Girmay completed the stage podium, and defending champion Jonas Vingegaard kept the yellow jersey. Philipsen has won “ve mass sprints in a row on the Tour after claiming two stage wins last year. If you told me this one week ago I would think youre crazy, but so far its a dream for us, a dream Tour and we just continue and hopefully we can add another one,Ž Philipsen said. I think from now Im looking to Paris also.Ž Philipsen was given the nickname by Alexander Kristo when they raced together because he caused a lot of crashes. Then he was a little clumsy. And he also forgot a lot of things,Ž Kristo told Het Laatste Nieuws. Then he lost his sunglasses, or couldnt “nd his toiletry bag, or forgot his shoes. He was often a disaster, a disaster. The nickname was meant as a joke, not an insult.Ž Philipsen made no such mistake when Cavendish hit the front in the “nale. He calmly returned onto his wheel and overtook Cavendish to deny the rider known as the Manx MissileŽ a record 35th Tour stage win. Cavendish equaled Merckxs record of 34 wins on the 2021 Tour, 13 years after his “rst success. Cavendish, who has never won the Tour, unlike “ve-time champion Merckx, will retire at the end of the season. He (Cavendish) was really strong and I would have also loved to have seen him win, and I think everybody,Ž Philipsen said. Hes up there, in good condition.Ž After two grueling days of brutal climbing across the Pyrenees, the super ”at 170-kilometer (105mile) Stage 7 looked like the perfect occasion for the main contenders to enjoy a day o inside the peloton. And they made the most of it to relax. Vingegaard waved to TV cameras and blew kisses to fans, while second-placed Tadej Pogacar chatted with Van der Poel on the long sections across the Landes forest. On a very hot day in southwestern France, Van der Poel and Philipsen put ice cubes in their jerseys. After their epic duel over the past couple of days in the Pyrenees, Vingegaard and Pogacar were happy to rest their legs but remain vigilant in the last 30 kilometers when the race animated ahead of the “nal sprint.Philipsen secures hat trick, Vingegaard stays in yellowCYCLING TENNIS GOLF By HOWARD FENDRICHAP TENNIS WRITERWIMBLEDON, England „ Andy Murray didnt know. As he was asked to dissect his loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round of Wimbledon „ a rollicking “ve-setter that lasted more than 4 1/2 hours spread over two days before a packed Centre Court “lled with thousands of his closest and loudest friends „ Murray started answers to question after question at his news conference Friday with some variation of that theme. It was, likely, a verbal crutch, something used to gather his thoughts before oering a more complete response. It also embodied the uncertainty that seems to surround a former No. 1 player who owns three Grand Slam titles, two at the All England Club, but also is now 36 and with an arti“cial hip after two operations. Was it harder to accept this 7-6 (3), 6-7 (2), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4 defeat, given both how close it was and all hes been through? I dont know, to be honest,Ž Murrays reply began. Did the match change because it was suspended Thursday at 10:40 p.m., right after hed taken a two-sets-to-one lead, because rules prevent play after 11 p.m.? I dont know, to be honest.Ž How frustrating was it that the contest was put on hold for nearly 18 hours? Well, you never know what would have happened.Ž Does the player ahead in that circumstance want to keep playing, while the player trailing prefers to stop? I dont know.Ž Will he return to Wimbledon next year? I dont know.Ž Im obviously very disappointed just now. You never know how many opportunities youre going to get to play here,Ž Murray said. The defeats, maybe feel a bit tougher. But, to be honest, every year that Wimbledons not gone how I would like, its been hard.Ž This was his second consecutive exit in the second round at the site of three of his greatest triumphs: the 2012 Olympic gold medal and the 2013 and 2016 Wimbledon championships. His trophy a decade ago was the “rst for a British man at the All England Club in singles in 77 years. Murray has not been past the third round at any major since getting to the 2017 quarter“nals at Wimbledon. I mean, ultimately this was an opportunity for me. I had a good chance of having a proper run for the “rst time in a long time at a Slam. I didnt take it,Ž he said, and bit on the collar of his white T-shirt. By DOUG FERGUSONAP GOLF WRITERPEBBLE BEACH, Calif. „ Bailey Tardy picked a good time and a beautiful location to play her best golf. Tardy made eagle on the par-5 sixth hole at Pebble Beach for the second straight day as part of a torrid start to her second round Friday in the U.S. Womens Open, and she held steady the rest of the way for a 4-under 68 and a one-shot lead among the early starters. She “t the pro“le of a 36-hole leader at a historic Womens Open in which the stars have been nearly as absent as the sun behind a constant marine layer over the Monterey Peninsula. Tardy is a 26-year-old rookie on the LPGA Tour who has made only four cuts this year, her best “nish a tie for 23rd in Hawaii. Her only professional victory was two years ago on the LPGAs developmental tour. She is No. 455 in the womens world ranking. And she was not the least bit surprised when she walked o the 18th green at 7-under 137, leading Allisen Corpuz (70) and Hyo Joo Kim (71) by two shots. Ive always believed in myself to win any tournament that I enter,Ž said Tardy, who played in college at Georgia. Im good enough to be here, and Ive been on the LPGA, so I feel like I de“nitely have the game to hang with the best in the world.Ž The best in the world have some work to do. Rose Zhang, already considered among the elite from her astonishing amateur record while at Stanford and from winning her “rst LPGA Tour start as a pro, at least kept herself in the game. After a rocky start with a pair of sloppy bogeys, Zhang converted a pair of key birdie putts around the turn and had a 71 to easily made the cut. Jin Young Ko, the No. 1 player in the world, Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson played in the afternoon and were making strides toward at least staying in the game. Ko was coming o a 79, her worst score by four shots in a U.S. Open. Korda, No. 2 in the world, opened with a 76. Tardy has been a bit of a hard-luck case getting to the LPGA Tour, once missing out on a card by $343 on what is now the Epson Tour and twice more having close calls. The belief never wavered, especially as far as she hits it. Her approach up the steep hill to the sixth green settled 4 feet away „ she holed a 15-foot eagle putt on Thursday. I feel like Ive had really good ball-striking days and then terrible putting days, and then Ill have a great putting day but terrible ball-striking day,Ž Tardy said. So its “nally coming together and meshing well, and it just happens at the right time.Ž What almost cost her was the simple act of qualifying. She nearly forgot to enter, and was so late there were only two qualifying sites available. Tardy chose Minnesota, bogeyed her last hole and had showered and changed clothes for her ”ight home when another player made bogey that let her into a playo. She played Pebble Beach last year for fun „ who wouldnt? „ and certainly knows the secret to scoring on days like these when the wind is more of a rumor. It began to pick up in the middle of her round, but she took advantage on the opening seven holes. Thats where to score. She had four birdies along with her eagle, dropped her only shot from a bunker in front of the par-3 “fth green and even missed a 6-foot birdie attempt at No. 8. Her only mistake on the back nine was a long three-putt on the par-5 14th. Leona Maguire of Ireland was primed to join her. She birdied her last two holes on the back nine for a 34 and had the easier front nine to play. Instead, Maguire bogeyed four of the next “ve holes by missing the greens, and she capped o a forgettable “nish with a three-putt from 25 feet for a 40. She was six shots behind at 143, but with a shrinking list of players in front of her. Maguire was still in the mix, along with so many others. Under par around here you always know youre going to be in good shape,Ž she said. Just made a few bad swings and kind of cost me, that early stretch on the front nine.Ž Murray exits Wimbledon with uncertainty after 2-day loss to Tsitsipas AP PHOTO/ALBERTO PEZZALIAndy Murray leaves the court after losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas on Friday.Tardy right on time for early lead at US Womens Open AP PHOTO/DARRON CUMMINGSBailey Tardy measures her putt on the ninth green during the second round of the U.S. Womens Open on Friday at the Pebble Beach Golf Links.

PAGE 4B SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comYou want to cut it close, but not too close. Winning in drag racing comes down to your reaction time, how close your car runs to your dial and if your cars doesnt break out,Ž dAprile said. If I want to run a 7.90 and my car can go faster than that. I have to let go of the throttle before the “nish line. Its a lot of things.Ž Her younger sister, 14, also races junior dragsters. Her older twin siblings … both 19 … race the big dragsters now. Her father has taken a break from racing. When dAprile turns 18 in September, she will move to adult dragsters. She hasnt ruled out racing top-fuel or Funny cars. If I had the chance to race those, I would take it,Ž she said. There is a lot I can do with college, but this year Im going to try to “gure everything out. Right now, racing is just a hobby. I love it and I want to keep going at it. There are people who race who are almost 80.Ž While she hasnt decided on a speci“c post-racing direction, those who know her believe she will go far no matter what she does. Shes well-balanced, a really good kid and a top student. She stands out as genuinely good at everything she does and helps the other kids,Ž said Christine Burkhart, one of dApriles teachers at PCHS. I thought at “rst she ran cross-country because she always talked about racing on the weekend.Ž David Hoer, weightlifting coach at Port Charlotte who helped dAprile place “fth in traditional lifting in the 119-pound class at states this past spring, said many of the skills she has gained can be passed on to her racing. She works extremely hard and is aware of how she performs and quickly adapts and adjusts to make corrections,Ž Hoer said. Shes pleasant to be around. Her attitude is infectious and shes always happy and smiling. Shes a caring person and strives to be the best she can be.ŽDRAGFROM PAGE 1B After six hearings, the bill died. It was a puzzling outcome. It never reached the ”oor for a vote. In 2021, after Watson initially dismissed the lawsuits, Schyck and others attempted to restart discussion of HB 249 via a letter-writing campaign. What happened next … as much as anything Ohio State had done … showed just how quixotic the survivors quest would be. NO INTENTION TO HELP One of Schycks letters in 2021 went to William Seitz, the House Majority Leader who had been a chair on the House Civil Justice Committee. Seitz dropped a bomb in his response, telling Schyck the bill was never intended to pass and was never taken seriously. Rather, Seitz asserted, the plan was to hope the proposed bills existence would bring Ohio State to the bargaining table seeking a settlement with survivors. When it became clear OSU wasnt going to go that route, the bill was snued out. There had been no real intent or desire on the part of the committee to hold OSU accountable via legislative action. That strategy had never been shared with the survivors. To this day, Schyck is enraged by the memory. The bill was never going to pass and they were determined to make sure that was what would happen, because they were in cahoots with Ohio State,Ž Schyck said Friday. Schyck said in replying to Seitzs revelation, he lost his temper. The reply went on for pages, castigating Seitz and the committee for the subterfuge. Survivors had spoken publicly, bared their souls in front of strangers, broken down in tears and opened themselves up to unwanted attention for what amounted to political theater. It came out a short while later that Seitz forwarded his correspondence with Strauss survivors to Ohio State, giving the university invaluable intelligence it could use as it devised a legal strategy. Was that an honest thing to do? Should (OSU) have gotten that from William Seitz?Ž Schyck said. (OSU) should have said something then. They ask us to be honest and factual and have high integrity. I mean, the emails had FYI in the subject line. Should they have gotten that from Seitz?Ž BACK TO THE FUTURE Thursdays hearing was something of a reset for Watsons court. Watson instructed attorneys for the survivors to determine how many survivors are still engaged in the now-active lawsuits against OSU and report back by July 14. Soon after, Watson said, the survivors should expect an aggressive scheduleŽ for the discovery phase and any possible trial. At one point during the hearing, according to Columbus TV station WCMH, Watson said, ... these men have waited a long time. We have a responsibility to make sure they get the justice they deserve.Ž Sitting behind the attorneys, Steve SnyderHill … one of the lead plaintis … temporarily perked up. He said I want justice for these guys and I thought that was great because he looked right at us,Ž Snyder-Hill told The Daily Sun late Thursday afternoon. But then our lawyers said, Steve, justice could mean throwing you out like before. Dont read into that.Ž Snyder-Hills exchange with his lawyer is a painful reminder of how every positive turn for survivors over the past “ve years has turned sour as Ohio State “nds new ways to continue kicking the can down the road. For the past two years, Ohio State has told the survivors its determination to appeal was based on answering the question of whether Title IX could or should be applied. The Supreme Court ended that discussion. Yet Thursday, Ohio State vowed to continue battling. On what basis is nebulous. On the surface, it seems little more than a mean-spirited de“ance. When asked for a comment by Columbusarea news outlets on Thursday, the school declined. Nobody knows what theyre going to do to “ght on, but they intend to “ght,Ž Snyder-Hill said. So basically every time theyve claimed that were not “ghting survivors, this is just a fundamental question of the law it was just bull. Thats not the truth anymore. Now its e you, were going to “ght you.Ž Before Thursday, Schyck said it had been some time since he had heard from the attorneys handling his speci“c class-action lawsuit, of which he is one of approximately 100 survivors. While Thursdays events were a positive development, like all other Strauss survivors, Schycks enthusiasm is guarded. I probably havent spoken to our attorneys in three years (before Thursday,Ž Schyck said. And what they said (Thursday) was in an email telling us whats to come. Being back in district court is an exciting step forward, but as you know, nothing about litigation is fast.Ž Email Obley at patrick. obley@yoursun.com and follow on Twitter: @PMOWriterOBLEYFROM PAGE 1BMurphy went deep in the fourth inning after Atlantas “rst baserunner, Matt Olson, reached on an error. The drive to right-center wiped out a 1-0 lead the Rays took on Wander Francos homer o Morton in the “rst. Atlanta, which leads the majors with 167 homers, has homered in 24 straight games dating to June 11. Thats the longest active streak in the majors and second-longest in the franchises modern era behind a 25-gamer in 1998. Morton, who was 18-8 with a 3.33 ERA in 42 starts over two seasons with Tampa Bay, pitched at Tropicana Field for the “rst time since leaving the Rays after helping the team reach the World Series in 2020. The 39-year-old righthander allowed one run and four hits Atlanta turned to its bullpen with one out in the seventh. A.J. Minter, Nick Anderson and Raisel Iglesias, who worked the ninth for his 16th save in 18 opportunities, “nished the six-hitter. The Braves, meanwhile, were limited to two hits as Ronald Acuña Jr. (16 games) and Marcell Ozuna (15) saw long hitting streaks end. Glasnow departed after giving up a single to Olson with two outs in the sixth. He struck out eight, including all four batters he faced in the second inning, which was prolonged when Ozuna fanned on a wild pitch that allowed him to reach base. The Rays said Glasnow left due to cramping, but did not provide any other details. TRAINERS ROOM Braves: LHP Max Fried, sidelined since May 5 with a strained left forearm, will start a minor league rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Gwinnett. Rays: All-Star Shane McClanahan (mid-back tightness) threw with his pitching delivery for “ve minutes from 60 feet on level ground for the “rst time. The lefty is expected to return July 16 to pitch at Kansas City. ... Reliever Andrew Kittredge (Tommy John surgery) struck out two during a scoreless inning in his second game with the rookie-level FCL Rays.

PAGE 6B SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comBASKETBALL By TIM REYNOLDSAP BASKETBALL WRITERLAS VEGAS „ Damian Lillards position has not and will not change: The seven-time All-Star wants to be traded to the Miami Heat. Lillards agent, Aaron Goodwin, con“rmed that stance Thursday and said he hopes that the Portland Trail Blazers „ the team that Lillard has spent the entirety of his 11-year NBA career with „ can engage with the Heat on steps toward a deal in the coming days, especially with virtually everyone from the NBA gathering in Las Vegas for Summer League that starts on Friday. The Trail Blazers publicly revealed this past weekend that Lillard had asked for a trade, an announcement that ended weeks of speculation about his future in Portland. Lillard had told the team that he wanted a chance to contend for a title; the Blazers have won only four playo series in his 11 seasons and missed the playos in each of the last two years by wide margins. Im hopeful that at least talks will initiate since theyre all going to be in one place,Ž Goodwin said. Thats my hope.Ž It will obviously take a signi“cant package of players and picks to make any trade happen. Lillard will make almost $46 million this coming season and could make as much as $216 million over the next four years if he exercises his option for the 2026-27 season. The solution comes in Miami actually having a chance to sit down and talk with Portland,Ž Goodwin said. I think if they can ever sit down and get in a room, there could be a deal to be made.Ž Lillard averaged 32.2 points this past season, has averaged at least 24 points in each of the last eight seasons, and has an oensive ignitability that few players in the NBA possess. He became just the seventh player in NBA history to score more than 70 points in a game when he “nished with 71 against the Houston Rockets on Feb. 26. The other names on that list: Wilt Chamberlain (who did it “ve times), Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, David Robinson, Elgin Baylor and Donovan Mitchell. All six of the other players on that list were between 23 and 28 when they had their games of 71 points or more; Lillard was 32, a clear indicator that „ even after 11 NBA seasons „ hes far from past his prime. By TIM REYNOLDSAP BASKETBALL WRITERLAS VEGAS „ No charges will be “led following a brief investigation of the altercation involving pop star Britney Spears, San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama and a member of the players security team, Las Vegas police said Friday after determining she inadvertently hit herself in the face.Ž Spears said she was struck by a security guard as she tried to approach Wembanyama near a restaurant in a Las Vegas casino complex on Wednesday night. Wembanyama said a person, who he later found out was Spears, grabbed him from behind. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said Spears had actually struck herself when someone pushed her hand o Wembanyama as she reached up to tap the No. 1 overall pick. In its investigation, which is now over, police determined that the security guard did not willfully or unlawfully use force or violence against Spears. No arrests were made and no one was cited, the report said. In the report, police said surveillance footage of the event showed Britney going to tap the Spurs player on the shoulder. When she touched the player (redacted) pushes her hand o of the player without looking which causes Britneys hand to hit herself in the face.Ž Spears “led a police report, alleging battery. Spears said Thursday in posts on Twitter and Instagram that the run-in was super embarrassing,Ž and denied grabbing Wembanyama, saying she only tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.Ž She also said that she was hopeful of getting an apology from the team or the security guard who she said was involved. Video shows Spears inadvertently hit herself in Wembanyama encounter AP FILE PHOTOSSan Antonio Spurs NBA rst round draft pick Victor Wembanyama said Thursday that he believes Britney Spears grabbed him from behind as he was walking into a restaurant, and that the security detail pushed the star away.Lillard still waiting, hoping Blazers, Heat talk By TIM REYNOLDSAP BASKETBALL WRITERLAS VEGAS „ Grant Hill started working on the USA Basketball roster for this summers World Cup many months ago, long before the “rst invitations were extended. The result, he hopes, will make it worth all that eort. USA Basketball formally unveiled the 12-player World Cup roster on Thursday, with no changes to the group that had made commitments in recent weeks. All 12 have signed their agreements to play, a necessary step before the roster could ocially be revealed. The “nal list: New York teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, Brooklyn teammates Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson, Orlandos Paolo Banchero, Minnesotas Anthony Edwards, Indianas Tyrese Haliburton, New Orleans Brandon Ingram, Memphis Jaren Jackson Jr., Utahs Walker Kessler, Milwaukees Bobby Portis and the Los Angeles Lakers Austin Reaves. I think I speak for all of us when I say that were very pleased,Ž Hill, the teams managing director, said Thursday. And we were very thoughtful, very deliberate, very intentional about putting together the pieces to the puzzle. It was not easy, but I think we got the desired result. And were very pleased with the roster, the versatility, the complementary parts. So, weve crossed that hurdle. And now weve got a bigger hurdle to attempt to cross as a collective unit.ŽUSA unveils roster for this summers World CupMLB BOX SCORES ATLANTA 2, TAMPA BAY 1Atlanta AB R H BI BB SO Avg.

SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 | YOURSUN.COMLocal News SUN By SCOTT TOMKOSTAFF WRITERVENICE „ Brittany Spangler, 32, of Osprey, remains in an intensive care unit at Sarasota Memorial Hospital after being critically injured by a “ rework Tuesday night while on a boat o Venice Beach. Spangler was on a boat with her two children, a friend and several other people on July 4. According to her sister, Ashley Spangler, a man was shooting “ reworks o the boat in very close proximity to the location where Brittany happened to be napping at the time. The “ reworks were being set o no more than “ ve feet from where Brittany was resting, and one of them literally went in the wrong direction,Ž she said. The blast from the “ rework caused traumatic head injuries, Spangler said. After the explosion, the boat was brought to shore, and emergency personnel ” ew her by helicopter from Venice Municipal Airport to Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Sarasota Memorial Hospital o cials told the family that Brittany is currently doing well, Spangler said. Shes stable, but there are still a lot of uncertainties at this point, and its too early to tell if there will be any long-term e ects,Ž Spangler said. Venice police are investigating what happened, including looking at a video that was taken at the time.Woman hurt when firework explodes near her headGoFundMe started for mother of two in intensive care PHOTO PROVIEDBrittany Spangler, shown here with her children, was hurt Tuesday night when a rework exploded near her head. SEE WOMAN , 7C By NANCY J. SEMONSTAFF WRITERAllegiant Travel Co. recently announced that Punta Gorda is one of its airlines top “ ve travel destinations, coming in at No. 4. Of the 600 routes the airline serves, many travelers come to Punta Gorda Airport and either stay locally or explore areas beyond. Currently, 43 routes are on sale to PGD,Ž Allegiant spokesperson Andrew Porrello said. Allegiant serves 124 cities. Allegiants Sunseeker Resort in Port Charlotte is slated to open in October, which the airline anticipates will boost demand for ” ights into Punta Gorda. Once landed, “ rst-time visitors might wonder where they should dine, play golf, go boating, “ shing, paddle-boarding, sailing, or take the kids. Thats where the Punta Gorda/ Englewood Beach Visitors and Convention Bureau comes in. Lois Croft, of the bureau, recently shared things anyone can do from dawn to dusk. The obvious are water-related activities such as boating, “ shing, paddle-boarding, snorkeling and a day at the beach. Nauti Aquatic Adventures can take a family out for four hours or more to see dolphins jumping in the wake,Ž she said. On its website, Nauti Aquatic Adventures o ers children an encounter with a mermaid. One must reserve the experience in advance; the boat leaves from Pine Island in Bokeelia. There is a plethora of activities for families with children, Croft said. Among them are Babcocks Eco Tours, where you can ride a swamp buggy, explore a working cowboy ranch and marshes with alligators, stop and feed Florida cattle, and even pet a baby alligator. Another popular family attraction is Punta Gorda No. 4 destination for AllegiantTourism bureau tells what to see and doSEE TOURISM , 7C By KIM COOLOUR TOWN EDITORHalfway through the May 1-Oct. 31 sea turtle nesting season, adult turtles are still mating out in the Gulf of Mexico, often close to shore. When careless boaters run over those turtles, leaving huge gashes in the shells or amputating a ” ipper, it too often means death to the turtle. Scientists at Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium in Sarasota are hoping a new voluntary Sea Turtle Projection Zone near shore may help to prevent such occurrences. Its main focus is to protect sea turtles from unintended boat strikes. This initiative was originally created in 2021 through a partnership between the Loggerhead Marinelife Center and the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research at the University of Florida. Mote scientists who documented boat-strike hotspots in local waters mapped the voluntary Sea Turtle Protection Zone for this area. The zone stretches from Longboat Key to Siesta Key, including Sarasota Bay, and extends from shore to 1.5 miles o shore. While the Venice and Englewood area was not included in this map, the Venice Inlet area and the Gulf of Mexico o Manasota Key are regularly mentioned as areas where turtles could be harmed. Were excited to partner with the community to help protect sea turtles in the areas where we see the most animals struck by boats,Ž said Gretchen Lovewell, Motes Stranding Investigation Program Manager. By closely monitoring for changes in stranding numbers and boater speeds, we hope to expand the zone and our monitoring e orts to all hot spot areas in the county.Ž Boaters can protect sea turtles by slowing down during sea turtle season within 1.5 miles of shore. Since the 1980s, sea turtle vessel strikes have tripled in Florida and unfortunately more than 90% of sea turtles with de“ nitive boat strike injuries have resulted in fatalities,Ž said Valerie Nicole Tovar, Conservation Manager at Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Volunteers and Mote scientists have been monitoring sea turtles that nest along county beaches since 1984, recording nesting and hatchlings and helping communities to draft lighting ordinances to protect nesting turtles from May to the end of October. Mote cares for injured or sick turtles throughout the year, but tends to get busier during mating and nesting season. Sea turtles are there for a variety of injuries ranging from ingesting bits of six-pack rings, being entangled in the actual rings, being hit by high-speed boaters or being a ected by red tide when it ” oats into an area of the Gulf occupied by sea turtles.Protection zoneMote asking boaters to slow down to help sea turtles PHOTO PROVIDED BY MOTE MARINE LABORATORYDue to a boat propeller, this turtle is missing a left front n.SEE TURTLE , 7C www.patiofactorysupercenter.com ENTERTAININGOUTDOORSNEVERLOOKEDSOGOOD EntertainingOutdoorsNever LookedSoGood!!

PAGE 2C SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com STAFF REPORTSARASOTA „ A Sarasota judge sentenced a former Sarasota County deputy to 22 months in prison and designated the man a sexual predator for life, according to documents from the State Attorneys o ce. Scott Kelly will also have to serve 38 months of sex o ender probation following his conviction of transmitting material harmful to minors, the State Attorney Ed Brodsky announced Friday. Kelly, who worked for the Sarasota County Sheri s O ce for three years, was a predator in uniform,Ž ruled Circuit Judge Dana Moss during a sentencing hearing Thursday, according to the State Attorney. Kelly entered an open plea to the case that started in November 2021, records show. This case involved a duly sworn deputy of the Sarasota County Sheri s O ce who used his position of authority to prey on a vulnerable child,Ž states a release from Brodskys o ce. After responding to a call for assistance, the defendant decided that he would pursue the child by “ nding her on multiple social media platforms. Through those platforms, he sent lewd images of himself and propositioned her for sex. His behavior was despicable and not at all consistent with the high standards of the Sarasota County Sheri s O ce.Ž Kelly had been sent to a Sarasota home on a 911 call in November 2021, where he met a woman and her child, the SCSO reported. Kelly used Tik-Tok to “ nd the childs Snapchat account and contacted her the following day, the SCSO reported. The two began communicating which led to Kelly sending an explicit photo,Ž the SCSO stated in a release to press. The child said she felt uncomfortableŽ about receiving the photos, then blocked the deputys account. The mother “ led a complaint with the Sarasota County Sheri s O ce on March 2, 2022. Detectives accessed the childs Snapchat account and saw the account scottkelly23Ž had been blocked. The photos did not remain on the account. During an interview, Kelly admitted to contacting the juvenile and sending the graphic image,Ž the SCSO reported. Investigators also learned that Kelly used the law enforcement Driver and Vehicle Information Database to research the drivers license photos, names, and addresses of several adult females, whom he later connected with on social media. Court records show “ ve separate instances. Kelly was arrested on a single count of distributing obscene material to a minor and “ ve counts of violation of public records law, and was booked into the Sarasota County Jail. Kelly was hired in April 2018 and assigned to the Patrol Bureau, according to the SCSO. This person had no business wearing a uniform,Ž wrote Assistant State Attorney Kate Metz in a statement released Friday. He violated the oath he took „ the oath to protect and serve the citizens of our community. Instead, he chose to use his position of authority to prey on a vulnerable child, one still coping with the loss of her father. Instead of helping this child through a tough time, he exploited her vulnerability by sending her lewd photos and attempting to persuade her to engage in sexual activity with him,Ž Metz stated.Metz credited SCSO Sgt. Mariah Piper for conducting a thorough investigation to ensure the victim and her family knew how law enforcement was supposed to respond when called for help.Ž That investigation allowed the defendant to be held accountable for his actions, and for the victim and her family to feel that justice was served,Ž Metz stated.Predator in uniformEx-SCSO deputy sentenced in sex case involving girl he met answering 911 callKELLY By FRANK DIFIORESTAFF WRITERPORT CHARLOTTE „ A childs visit to the emergency room led to a local man being arrested for alleged drug-related negligence. Authorities allege the suspect admitted to having Percocet in his shorts, with one pill likely falling out onto the ” oor. Adam David McRoberts, 41, was charged with one count aggravated child abuse by the Charlotte County Sheri s O ce after months of investigation. Deputies “ rst became aware of the situation after McRoberts brought a minor to a local emergency room on March 6. According to the arrest a davit, McRoberts told medical sta the minor had swallowed 10 milligrams of Percocet. He further allegedly admitted he had not been prescribed the dosage and he had purchased it o the street.Ž The minor, whose name and age were not released under Marsys Law, was given a dosage of Narcan and transported to an intensive care unit for further treatment. When deputies followed up with McRoberts, according to the report, he said that he had been doing laundry in his house and left the minor alone in another room. He came back to see the minor had swallowed something but did not see what it was. Shortly afterward, McRoberts said that the minor became drowsy. Fearing the Percocet had been what was swallowed, he brought the minor to the ER for treatment. The deputies later followed up with the minor, who did not appear to be in distress after treatment and was watching the childrens cartoon BlueyŽ in the hospital room. Investigators also spoke with another caretaker for the minor, who allegedly informed them of a frantic phone call McRoberts made to her. She also claimed that he had a pre-existing addiction. Deputies subsequently obtained a search warrant for McRoberts residence. No opioids were reported to have been found, though authorities allege that a leafy green substance seeming to be cannabis was found at the scene. They also obtained a warrant for the minors urine sample from the hospital, which allegedly con“ rmed the presence of fentanyl. In the arrest a davit, deputies speci“ cally pointed to the presence of fentanyl in the residence as an intentional act that could r eason ably be expected to result in physical or mental injury to a child.Ž McRoberts was later arrested on July 5, and then released on July 6 from Charlotte County Jail on $25,000 bond. He is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 14.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 PAGE 3C By BARB RICHARDSONSUN CORRESPONDENTSOUTH VENICE „ The third and “nal phase of the multi-year construction project at the Robert L. Anderson Administration Center in South Venice is about to begin. At its June 13 meeting, the Sarasota County Commission, without discussion, amended the 2023 budget to appropriate $4.7 million to the remodeling portion of the project. According to Capital Projects Director Carolyn Eastwood, over the next two years there will be several sequences of work to allow for continued operations during constructionŽ as renovations begin in the older portion of the building. In an email explaining the details, construction crews will start on the second ”oor of the building where the courtrooms were before the new South County Courthouse was constructed. Once that ”oor is remodeled, departments on the “rst ”oor will relocate to the second ”oor so construction can occur. The Commission Chambers in the Annex building will not need to be renovated and will be fully functional throughout with minimal down time for system replacements,Ž Eastwood noted. Eastwood wrote the construction crew would take great careŽ to ensure the safety of both sta and the public during the remodeling but added that people needed to be mindful of way“nding signs and temporary conditions during construction.Ž Preliminary activities for the renovations will begin in July with actual construction starting in August. The entire remodeling project is scheduled for completion in August 2025. The three-phase project started in 2020 with site work for the new courthouse, including “lling in the pond, a long-time “xture of the site, to create new parking spaces. The second phase was the actual construction of the new six-room courthouse with two of those rooms being shells for future expansion and a secure parking garage for the judges and other personnel. That phase was completed in 2022 with a grand celebration of the new building, long a need in growing South County. Thus far, the entire threephase project has cost the county $21.8 million. Email: barbararichardson996@gmail.comMore construction ahead for RL Anderson buildingFinal phase is a $4.7M remodeling project for South Sarasota County annex By RYAN DAILEYNEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDATALLAHASSEE „ The New College of Florida Board of Trustees this week moved forward with a plan to request $2 million from the state Legislature to set up a Freedom InstituteŽ aimed at combating cancel cultureŽ in higher education. The proposed institute would promote tolerance of opposing viewsŽ and engage such views in civil discourse,Ž according to a description of the institute included in the trustees meeting agenda. There is a tremendous move nationwide to ensure that our college campuses are true marketplaces of ideas, where you can allow your mind to explore the great reaches of everything,Ž New College Interim President Richard Corcoran said during Thursdays meeting. And right now there is a tremendous cancel culture that is existing in higher ed. Theres a tremendous pushback against that cancel culture.Ž The bulk of the $2 million request „ $1,755,000 „ would go toward hiring scholars to work and teachŽ on the New College campus. Courses taught by the new faculty members would be oered to students for credit. The funding proposal, which would be subject to approval by lawmakers during the 2024 legislative session, comes amid a series of changes at the small liberal-arts school. Gov. Ron DeSantis made a slew of appointments to the trustees board earlier this year. The revamped board subsequently voted to install Corcoran, a Republican former House Speaker and state education commissioner, as the schools interim president. A document included in the trustees meeting agenda also laid out other goals for the proposed institute. For example, the institute would oer short courses open to the public in Sarasota and across Florida,Ž hold live events promoting New Colleges and Floridas free speech principles,Ž and create and deliver professional development programsŽ for school teachers and university professors. Pointing to similar programs at other universities, Corocran said the proposed New College Freedom Institute could help net new donors and enhance the schools pro“le. In addition to that, to go out there and hit up additional donor bases saying, what were doing to model free speech „ whether its in K-12 arenas, higher-ed arenas, whatever it might be „ in boardrooms ƒ and going out and having it ”ourish nationwide, would be a tremendous bene“t in attracting additional experts, speakers, debates to come to New College,Ž Corcoran said. But trustee Amy Reid, who is a professor of French language and Literature at New College, criticized the way the funding proposal was written. Pointing to the “rst paragraph of the draft proposal, Reid noted that the plan incorrectly cited the poem The New ColossusŽ by Emma Lazarus and neglected to include the poet as its author. The well-known sonnet is featured on a plaque on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. These may be the times that try mens souls (Thomas Paine, The Crisis, 1776), wherein the masses, yearning to breathe free (Colossus, 1883, Statue of Liberty) were instead everywhere enchained (Rousseau, Social Contract Theory, 1762) by a cabal Orwellian thought police. In some quarters, the gesture of criticism has become elevated above the substance of criticism or the pursuit of understanding. And these gestures have ranged from subversive censorious silencing to barbarous mob militancy,Ž the proposals opening paragraph said. I hope that language can get cleared up,Ž Reid said. If this is going to be a hallmark for New College, lets make it solid and not something that any New College faculty member would say needs more editing.Ž Christopher Rufo, who was part of the wave of DeSantis appointees to the board, agreed with a suggestion by Reid that the paragraph be struck from the draft. Rufo called the paragraph a little hyperbolic.Ž The New College trustees also during Thursdays meeting approved an additional plan to request $6.035 million to develop three new masters programs. The new degree programs would be a masters in marine mammal science, a masters of environmental economics and policy, and a masters of educational leadership. Education praxis and pedagogy has, in many ways, become corrupted with political agendas that undermine that primary purposes (sic) of education practice,Ž a description of the proposed educational-leadership degree program said. The two-year program would train students in the practical application of teachingŽ and the development of leadership skills. The New College Masters of Educational Leadership would help reform the problems with undergraduate education degrees, serve as a new home for education reformers, and lead the development of new approaches to educating educators,Ž the proposal said.New College board eyes Freedom Institute $10OFF$35COUPONCODE#9200000190 Valid7/8/2023through7/14/2023Expires7/14/2023.Mustbepresentedandscannedattime ofpurchase.Notredeemableforcash.Onecouponper customerperday.Seewww.mrtlawnandgarden.comforfull restrictions.Notforuseongiftcards,saleordiscounted items,YETI,Weber,BigGreenEgg,Traeger,orEGOitems.

PAGE 4C SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com OUR VIEWNew laws needed to control AI influenceOUR POSITION: The Florida Legislature should pass laws prior to the 2024 elections to deal with the potential for AI-produced commercials or social media posts that can smear a candidate with false information.Whats real and whats not? The sophistication of arti“cial intelligence (AI) can more than blur the lines. Videos and social media posts created with AI can appear so real that those who see them dont begin to question their validity. And, with candidates already posturing and campaigning for primary elections, the idea that negative ads can/will go viral is scary. As one person put it, the collision of ignorance and AI is a political bomb. The use of AI to paint a candidate in a negative light is prob ably too tempting for the opposition to pass up. And, even if they cross the line and fall into the category of defamation, a lawsuit would not settle the issue until the damage has been done. One possible path for a candidate whose reputation has been attacked is to resort to what is called a false light claim. That is a suit against a party who pursues a public attack on someone that is just not true. But, again, how that could play out quickly enough to counter the image in peoples minds is the problem. One weapon at lawmakers disposal is to pass tough laws in the 2024 legislative session against the use or AI to defame a person „ whether they are a candidate or not. If the law is passed and enforced by July 1 next year it might at least prevent AI-produced missives being used to sabotage candidates in the fall general elections. We cant imagine a lawmaker from either party who is not concerned about AI. After all, the negative attacks work for both parties. In a recent News Service of Florida story, Janet Coats, managing director of the University of Floridas Consortium on Trust in Media and Technology, said talk about opposition messaging, it can be created at the snap of a “nger. The prompt returns information so fast that well be inundated with it as the election cycle really starts to heat up.Ž The ability to manipulate images and voice audio is moving to a whole dierent level of sophistication,Ž she noted. The problem has already surfaced after a Twitter account connected to Gov. Ron DeSantis presidential campaign circulated a video with AI-generated pictures of former president Donald Trump hugging Anthony Fauci. That embrace would be a quick turno for most conservative voters „ maybe even Trump loyalists. Twitter did, thankfully, add a note to the photos saying The 3 still shots showing Trump embracing Fauci are AI generated images.Ž Catching misleading or just plain false images, however, might not always happen. Or, it might not happen quickly enough to avoid that image being burned into peoples mind as election time nears. The problem with AI „ and the issues it raises „ threatens to change our trust in advertising, political ads and just about any message we receive on TV, Twitter or social media. We urge our representatives in the Florida Legislature to take the national lead on circumventing the damage AI can do before it sabotages the 2024 election. A special session could even be in order. In the meantime, digest any negative political ads you see with suspicion. It just could be an AIgenerated attack. America must unite against our real threatE:Our great country is under attack from China, Russia, Cuba, Iran and a host of other criminal communist states that will do anything to abolish individual freedom and political pluralism. Instead of our citizens uniting against this formidable threat, we are divided into a myriad of social issues that are inconsequential compared to the planned destruction of our country by these communist forces. If you believe that all men are created equal and live free, then wake up now before this time bomb explodes. Too many young Americans are space cadets, living in a woke world where reality is measured on TV or social media. Forget about getting out of bed on Sunday and attending church services where the gospels and Gods word are supreme. Instead of spending precious taxpayer dollars on student debt, U.S.-funded abortions, reparations, and foreign assistance to countries that despise the U.S., lets show our support for Ukraine and U.S. veterans. What a sad commentary that our soldiers have to rely on organizations like Tunnel to Towers because the VA and the U.S. Congress have proved useless. All this waste and stupidity has to end, otherwise, our free world will come to an end. God forbid that China and Russia succeed in their quest to destroy democracy. America has way too many sniveling sycophants in public oce who are cowards in defending our strategic interests. If our citizens dont come together, then God help us. Happy birthday, America! I love this great country. Semper Fi K F North PortRead Bible and decide if Jesus was wokeE:Was Jesus woke? I am not a member of the Faith and Freedom Coalition. Therefore, I did not attend their recent conference. However, I did hear some of the sound bites reported. If this coalition is based on Christian faith I wonder how members reconcile their basic beliefs with the current Republican party. If they follow the teachings of Jesus I would respectfully ask them to review these teachings. You can start with these: Matthew 22:36-39, Matthew 25:35, and 7:12; Proverbs 31:9; Deuteronomy 10:18; Romans 12:13. It is all summed up in Deuteronomy 16:20: Justice, Justice shall you pursue.Ž Jesus, in my option, was aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issuesƒespecially issues of societal justice. This is the Merriam Webster online de“nition of woke. So, I ask againƒWas Jesus woke? If he was, and you are following his teachings, are you woke? Think about it. L U Punta GordaSome things we should think aboutE:Has it occurred to anyone that: € Perhaps electing two county commissioners who actually making a living o the building industry is not a good idea. € That if you put small trumpets in the governors ears and painted him green he would look a lot like Shrek. Just not as nice. € Charlotte County spends thousands and thousands of dollars on comp plans for 2030-2040-2050 and yet we hardly “gure out what to do next week. € That maybe some day we will actually save some trees and hold the developer accountable. No more clear cut and burn (S.R. 776). € That passing your own local ordinances means nothing if the state can step in and override them. € Due to the violent content there is a good chance the Bible will be banned. € If our elected ocials wanted to help us with the insurance industry they could. But then why would lose their donations for re-election. € To take some of your “reworks money and stop by the VFW post and put it to good use. Rest assured every penny will be used to help a veteran. Now thats being a patriot. Less noise is good for the vets and the pets. € That knowing the name of a person whos involved in an accident as soon as possible is very helpful to neighbors and friends. I dont want to be the person having a pool party a few houses away from a family in crisis. H T Port CharlotteThanks to Biden, China is eating our lunchE:Is President Bidens lack of fortitude encouraging China? National priorities changed under Bidens administration, making U.S-China dynamics more bewildering as America appears unwilling to confront them? What brought this about? March 2021, Blinken projected weakness in Chinas “rst meeting (Anchorage, Alaska) during the Biden administration. Predict ably, China perceived Bidens administration as weak and ineective. After years of viewing the U.S.A. as a bully imposing its views worldwide, Chinas internationally pent-up frustration “nally surfaced. Chinas Belt and Rode initiative exports Chinese commerce, goods, in”uence around the world. Global geopolitical balance of power is shifting as other countries are supportive of China. Examples: Russia and China are uniting. Diplomatic alliances are shifting, brokered by China. Saudi Arabia, no longer interested in pleasing the U.S., and Iran agreed to restore diplomatic ties. China and France completed an LNG gas trade. Chinas spy station in Cuba and 7 police stationsŽ here. Spy balloons! Chinese entities purchasing land in Michigan (search Sino-Michigan Properties LLC) for a Chinese immigrants autonomous zone. Illegal Chinese migrants, members of CCP and PLA, released into our country. China opposes foreign interference and believes the U.S.A. does not speak to China from a position of strength. Close encounters in Taiwan Straights are provocative actions testing American resolve. Were failing. The world needs a strong guiding force and China is attempting to “ll that void. Picture two bull elephants engaging for global dominance. We must realize that China is eating our lunch. U.S.A. needs to project strength and compassion, not oensive domination. L S Port CharlotteWe are poisoning our land, wildlifeE:The city writes about trees and yet we rape the land because the city is getting money. The city doesnt protect us. If people pay, you will destroy trees, and habitats. In March the city harassed me because,I had wild daisies growing in my yard. I never planted them. They were a gift from nature. Butter”ies, bees were feeding. I use no pesticides, or fertilizers on my lawn. I got 12 dierent letters from code enforcement, and a phone call at 7:28 a.m. asking me when I was going to cut my back lawn. I went to city commissioners and talked for 3 minutes, but nothing happened. I went to the city manager „ nothing. I had to call the police to have the city to stop harassing me. State supersedes city law which is Florida Friendly landscaping 373.185. Train your sta, listen to citizens, read up on state laws. At the code enforcement hearing I said the city is in violation and they need to go back 14 years and send out apology letters to everyone that got a violation and refund fees with interest. City website on May 25 code enforcement hearing silenced the tape. Citizens please dont put chemicals on your lawn then plant butter”y-attracting plants where they will come in contact with your poison. We are killing our waterways, and our dolphins, manatees and tons of “sh. We know who the big killer is „ sugar “elds all that stu just sitting in Lake Okeechobee. Do something, please. V L North PortSetting o reworks same as animal crueltyE:Most people would be appalled if they saw someone abusing a dog or cat.

Truex has served on FACs Executive Committee since 2020, progressing from the position of second vice president. In addition to his service on the executive committee, Truex has been active in the association on numerous committees, including Health, Safety and Justice, Select Committee on Preemption, Finance and Audit, Federal, and Water. He has also been chosen by his peers to serve on the board of directors since 2016. In his induction speech, Truex emphasized the importance of public service and called on his fellow commissioners for guidance on issues of importance to their communities. Commissioner Truex is the epitome of a public servant,Ž said FAC Executive Director Ginger Delegal. His achievements at FAC speak to the dedication he has to his constituents, and I am looking forward to his continued success at the association.Ž In his “rst act as president, Truex awarded the $2,500 FAC Presidential Scholarship to Charlotte County resident Kailee Harrison, who is majoring in public health at the University of South Florida. The conference also featured workshops for county managers and administrators, attorneys, human services managers and engineers. County ocials discussed a variety of topics including hurricane recovery, common challenges and opportunities, best practices, innovative programs and organizational culture building. HURRICANE RECOVERY This month brings a series of workshops and other opportunities for the public to provide input on longterm hurricane recovery, unmet needs, mitigation and resiliency. The Department of Economic Opportunities has scheduled a public input workshop at 10 a.m., Wednesday, July 12, at the Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center, 75 Taylor St., Punta Gorda, FL 33950. DEO will be soliciting input on workforce aordable housing, infrastructure repair, and housing repair and replacement. DEO will incorporate the feedback into its recovery work plan to be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for potential funding. Charlotte County has scheduled three long-term recovery workshops to gather public input for its own recovery plan. The workshops are scheduled for: 2 p.m., Friday, July 14, Englewood Charlotte Library 3450 N. Access Road, Englewood. 10:30 a.m., Saturday, July 15, Punta Gorda Charlotte Library, 401 Shreve St., Punta Gorda. 3 p.m., Friday, July 21, 2580 Aaron St., Port Charlotte Public Library, Port Charlotte In partnership with the non-pro“t Community Organizations Active in a Disaster, the county is also soliciting input via an online survey.

Created by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), Park and RecreationMonth speci“cally highlights the essential and powerful role local park and recreation professionals, such as our sta at the city of Punta Gorda, play in building more robust, more vibrant, and more resilient communities all across the country. This July, we will celebrate the vital role park and recreation professionals play in bringing people together, providing essential services, and fostering the growth of our communities. Many municipalities have a formal Park and Recreation Department that is a standalone department. The city of Punta Gorda has a bit dierent structure. We rely on our Urban Design Department for park design, park rentals, climate readiness, and physical programming of our parks. Our Parks and Grounds Division of Public Works handles our park maintenance. Their work together has resulted in beautiful waterfront and neighborhood parks for our residents and visitors to enjoy year-round. Four in “ve U.S. adults say that access to a nearby park, playground, open space, or recreation center is essential in deciding where they want to live. Living close to parks and other recreation facilities is consistently related to higher physical activity levels for both adults and youth. Moreover, parks provide a connection to nature, which studies demonstrate relieves stress, strengthens interpersonal relationships, and improves mental health. Parks reduce the impact of large storms and ”ooding by serving as sponges that soak up runo from nearby paved surfaces during rain events. This, in turn, prevents ”ooding and decreases property damage. Well-designed parks also reduce water usage by recycling andstoring this water for use during times of low precipitation. According to NRPAs 2022 Engagement with Parks Report, people value the programs and services that park and recreation agencies deliver to their local communities every day and strongly support their mission. Two hundred seventy-“ve million people in the United States visited a local park or recreation facility at least once last year. Nearly three in four U.S. residents have at least one local park, playground, open space, or recreation center within walking distance of their homes. Eighty-four percent of U.S. adults seek high-quality parks and recreation when choosing a place to live. Punta Gorda continues to invest in our park assets. The boardwalks that many enjoy at Ponce de Leon Park are being reconstructed to ensure their viability in the future. Work at Gilchrist Park has recently been completed that added on-street parking, parking lot improvements, and site furnishings. Laishley Parks interactive fountain area is being expanded to include splash pad amenities and equipment, enhancing the quality of life for our residents and visitors of all ages. Nature Park and Hounds on Henry Dog Park have also had recent improvements. In 2024, adding a Fountains and Certi“ed Playground Technician position will further enhance the safety and beauty of our parks. Parks signi“cantly contribute to our ability to preserve our smalltown character while promoting diversity, economic development, and sustainability. Our park and recreational opportunities are vitally important to the community.

We now know that both Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have gone on lavish vacations with court litigants without disclosing the trips or recusing themselves from their benefactors cases. Thomas has also accepted extravagant gifts. Congress should pass new ethics rules for the justices before they reconvene on the “rst Monday of October. Though the developing reform eort appears fairly modest „ Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin said last week hes focused on a code of ethics, increased disclosure requirements and clear rules dictating when justices must recuse themselves from casesŽ „ the action to date is single-party. Proposals to require greater disclosure of the justices free trips or to create an inspector general for the judiciary to oversee ethics inquiries once had bipartisan support, but Republicans appear to have backed out. What might be worse: Some court-watchers are insisting Thomas and Alito did nothing wrong in accepting their largesse. Thats a preposterous position considering the legal standard for bias, as summarized three decades ago by Justice John Paul Stevens: The relevant inquiry [ƒ] is not whether or not the judge was actually biased but whether he or she appeared biased.Ž Put it another way, as the Code of Conduct for US Judges does: An appearance of impropriety occurs when reasonable minds, with knowledge of all the relevant circumstances [ƒ], would conclude that the judges honesty, integrity, impartiality, temperament or “tness to serve as a judge is impaired.Ž Thomas accepted gifts in the late 1990s and early 2000s from Harlan Crow valued in the tens of thousands of dollars, including private airplane ”ights and a Frederick Douglass-owned Bible. Crow Holdings was involved in a 2004 high court petition. Might a reasonable person impute bias? Yes, so recusal was required. Alito accepted a free “shing vacation in a remote Alaskan village in 2008, which included a ride on Paul Singers private plane. Singers investment group, NML Capital, then appeared in court petitions in each of the subsequent six years. Might a reasonable person impute a bias? Yes, so recusal was required. Again, you dont need to verify that X (a gift or free trip) led to Y (a speci“c outcome in a case). If the X is “shy, the speci“cs of the Y dont matter much. And these days, SCOTUS smells like weeks-old salmon. Thomass and Alitos defenders have said their participation was unimportant because the court ultimately declined to hear the Crow real estate petition and the NML Capital case was decided 7-1. Their votes were not determinative. But that misses the point. Ethics rules exist not so that public ocials can come as close as possible to crossing the line and then generate a debate on the lines contours. Theyre not policies from which ocials can cherry-pick certain phrases that they believe to be loopholes. Theyre there to help navigate dicult questions with an eye toward maintaining public con“dence. Its clear the Supreme Court has strayed from that vision and needs help getting back on track. Its worth noting that although Thomass and Alitos lapses are the most egregious, every justice currently on the court could be accused of some ethical failure. Chief Justice John Roberts has failed to recuse himself in a handful of petitions despite having a “nancial stake in a party. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch have failed to recuse themselves in petitions in which their book publisher was a party, despite receiving huge sums of money for their writings. Justice Elena Kagan never recused herself in any major Obamacare case, though her oce crafted the laws legal defense when she was US solicitor general. Justice Brett Kavanaugh met with the head of an anti-LGBT group just after the group “led amicus briefs in two cases. Justice Amy Coney Barrett said the justices were not a bunch of partisan hacksŽ at the University of Louisvilles (Mitch) McConnell Center „ standing four feet from Senator McConnell, who was majority leader when she was con“rmed. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson omitted multiple free, reportable trips from her disclosures and doesnt appear to have “led amendments. Thats just a partial list. Heres my solution, and its not the uber-nonspeci“c ethics code.Ž Instead, Congress should institute a hard-and-fast cooling o period for the justices. If youre a justice who, in the last 10 years, has received income, including book advances and royalties, from an individual, corporation, security or government oce, and that entity “nds itself before the court, recusal should be required. The same logic should extend to physical gifts, gifts of transportation, and food or lodging with a value of over $50. Accept a vacation from billionaire? No ruling on the billionaires cases for 10 years. Cooling-o periods already exist in the other two branches, so bringing the high court under a similar ethical framework makes sense. With the justices apparently and shamefully having recused themselves from “xing their institution, lawmakers should make sure they get this done before the nine return from wherever their travels take them this summer.

Dorothy Pinard (Davenport-Lydon), 84, of North Port, Florida, passed away quietly in her sleep on the morning of Wednesday, June 28th 2023. Dorothy was born and grew up in Quincy Massachusetts. She and her husband James Lydon were residents of Quincy until moving to Florida in 1986. Later in life Dorothy met and married her late husband Robert (Bob) Pinard. They resided in Punta Gorda, Florida. After Bob passed away Dorothy moved to North Port, Florida where she became a long-time resident of the Harbor Cove Community, along with her companion of 23 years, William (Bill) Witham. Dorothy is survived by her daughter, Linda Jordan of North Port, Florida; son, Glenn Lydon (Joan) of South Weymouth, Massachusetts; daughter, Annmarie Starrett (David) of Hilton Head South Carolina; sister, Marjorie Mignosa; brother, John Davenport (Joann) as well as 10 grandchildren and 13 1/2 great-grandchildren. Dorothy was the rock of our family. She was always there to support us 100% in all our endeavors. We were beyond blessed to have her as our mother. She will be sorely missed. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate in her memory to the Tidewell Foundation at https://tidewellfoundation.org A barbeque to celebrate Dorothys life will be hosted at the home of daughter, Linda Jordan on Sunday, July 16th at 2:00 pm. The address is 8117 Trionfo Avenue, North Port, Florida. A second Celebration of Life will be held in Massachusetts. The date and place will be announced once the details have been confirmed.Dorothy Pinard WORDSOF COMFORT What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.Ž„ Henry Ward Beecher COMMENTARYI enjoy good quality food and I love to cook it. I dont always have the time to cook for my family, but when I do, I make sure it is of the best quality. And I really like my vegetables, but not just any veggies. Fresh out of the garden vegetables. The recipes that I enjoy are time-consuming and gourmet. Some may call me a foodie or a culinarian, and Im OK with that. This past year with my family, we began Saturday Meals with the theme of dinners around the world. My husband and my daughter contribute, and we plan, prepare and eat a delicious meal together. My mother-in-law loves these meals also. Family and Food! Talk about a a Win-Win! I get the same happy feelings on the job at United Way of Charlotte County (UWCC) as we mobilize the power of our community to break the cycle of poverty. Pulling people together for a common cause in the community always feels good. The Miriam P. Raines Charitable Fund at Gulf Coast Community Foundation recently awarded UWCC a $25,000 grant to support an expansion of our mobilization e orts. This grant will support the development of a volunteer coordination program at UWCC, in alignment with our new strategic priorities. UWCC will use this program to tap into the wealth of available talent in Charlotte County through concerted volunteer recruitment, placement and retention e orts. UWCC o ers multiple in-house opportunities for volunteering throughout the year. One-time projects such as stu ng Kindergarten Readiness Bags or assisting at a fundraising event work great for individuals with limited time to give. For short-term involvement, many Charlotte County residents have found ful“ llment in joining us through tax season to support our VITA program. And, of course, we would never turn down year-round help! What is exciting about this expanded volunteer program is that UWCCs team will be better able to connect volunteers of all interests with a variety of projects throughout the community … not just with United Way! The needs in Charlotte County are great, giving rise to innumerable ways to give back, and with the backing of Gulf Coast Community Foundation, we will be poised to make those connections. United Way of Charlotte Countys strategic priorities include educational success, “ nancial empowerment and senior issues. We have already identi“ ed multiple ways that volunteers can be mobilized to make an exponential impact in each of these areas. Our goal is to “ nd that win-win for each volunteer and the program or project they will be supporting. Our partnership with Gulf Coast Community Foundation has been one of innovation and pushing the limits. I am grateful for their support for this work and many other projects they have embarked on with UWCC. The opportunities are innumerable.

Sedges appear almost grasslike in nature but are very di erent and need to be treated di erently. Lets look at the sedges commonly found in our turf and what we can do about them. There are several common sedges in our area … most notably yellow nutsedge, purple nutsedge, globe nutsedge and various other annual and perennial types such as kyllinga. All sedges have a common look and structure. The grasslike, shiny green to yellow-green leaf blades form a clustered bunch with a stout stem emerging from the center topped with crown-like, tufted seed heads. When the ” ower stalk is cut in cross section, there is a distinct triangular shape that helps identify it as a sedge … remember … sedges have edges.Ž Many have underground tubers and/or rhizomes that help with its sometimes-rampant propagation. Some sedges like moist conditions and their abundance may be a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. This is something to examine, especially if it can be corrected to help suppress this weed. Mowing will not do much to suppress sedges as their growing point is below the blades. Handpulling has limited e ectiveness as tubers or rhizomes often break o and quickly regrow. Herbicide use „ both pre-emergence and post-emergence options „ depends on the type of sedge. Wait until Feb. 1 for any pre-emergence application. It is a bit hot right now for the post-emergence treatment „ wait until temperatures are below 85 degrees F. Spot treat when you can. Always read the pesticide label as it is the law. Even with good herbicide coverage, regrowth can occur from the roots and tubers, and repeat applications may be necessary. Sedge, whatever type it is, is not an easy weed to lick. It may take some time to suppress it to a level you can live with. As with all turf weeds, monitor regularly so that you can catch infestations while they are small. For more information on all types of weeds in our landscapes, or to ask a question, you can also call the Master Gardener Volunteer Helpdesk on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 1 to 4 p.m. at 764-4340 for gardening help and insight into their role as an extension volunteer.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 PAGE 7C By BOB MUDGESENIOR WRITERVENICE „ After hitting a recent low of 7.4% for the week beginning May 5, Floridas COVID-19 positivity rate has gone up for six consecutive weeks. The rate was 11.1% for the week beginning June 16, according to the Weekly Situation Report published June 23. The number of new cases in the state has see-sawed, rising some weeks and dropping in others, but the 6,575 cases reported for the week beginning June 16 was the most since the week beginning April 28 at 7,038. Meanwhile, the number of vaccines doses administered has dwindled to 995, compared to more than 6,600 in mid-April. For the week beginning June 16, 12 of Floridas 67 counties had a rate of cases per 100,000 population higher than the state rate of 29.1, with Dade County the highest at 47.9. Four counties, Calhoun, Dixie, Liberty and Washington, reported no cases. Sarasota County reported 18 cases and Charlotte County had 21. Both were lower than the state number. The report shows 21 counties had a positivity rate higher than 11.1%. At 33%, Lafayette County had the highest rate, but that was out of three potential cases tested. St. Johns County was the highest among the remaining counties at 18.9%. Sarasota County had a rate of 10.4%; Charlotte County had a rate of 8.1%; both better than the states rate. The report shows 29 COVID deaths for the week beginning June 16, raising the states total to 88,896. According to USAFacts. org, through May 29 Florida ranked third among the 50 states and the District of Columbia in total COVID deaths, behind California (101,918) and Texas (92,378) but ahead of New York (77,558). Iguanaland on Bermont Road in Punta Gorda, Croft said. It has very rare and unique reptiles,Ž she said. Wildlife enthusiasts might want to visit the Peace River Wildlife Center in Punta Gorda, currently housed at Ponce de Leon Park at the end of West Marion Avenue. For those interested in military history with children who love to play video and virtual reality games, the Military Heritage Museum on West Marion Avenue has something for every member of the family. Englewood and Stump Pass beaches, and the barrier islands of Palm/ Knight Island and Little Gasparilla, are popular places for sunbathing, swimming and shell collecting. Many “nd fossilized sharks teeth at those beaches. The entire family can bike around Punta Gorda; free bikes are available at several locations around the city, Croft said. Another attraction not far from the Military Heritage Museum is Fishermens Village, home of the King Fisher Fleet. In addition to shops and restaurants at what the locals call Fishville,Ž King Fisher oers halfday and full-day excursions up the Peace River and down the Harbor to Cayo Costa State Park and Cabbage Key. For those wanting to dine locally, Punta Gorda has 50 non-chain restaurants oering a variety of foods from seafood to steak, Asian, Italian, German, and other ethnic food delights. Across the bridge in Port Charlotte are many chain restaurants and mom-and-pop ones, including Indian, Asian and Italian cuisine. But sometimes mom and dad need to get away and enjoy adult nightlife. The Visani Italian Steakhouse and Comedy Theater oers both comedy and musical acts. You can have dinner before the show, or buy a ticket for the show only. The Library Comedy Club at Four Points Sheraton in Punta Gorda, usually has a Friday night comedy show hosted by local celebrity Gordon Meyers. While at Four Points you can walk down to TTs Tiki Bar which features outdoor entertainment under tiki huts, food, and drinks. Since Punta Gorda is on a river and harbor and not the Gulf of Mexico, savvy entrepreneurs have remedied that. In addition to TTs Tiki Hut, Fishermens Village also has created its Sunset Beach Club Tiki Bar on Dry Beach. Across the bridge in Port Charlotte is a beach complex on the river, a sandy beach, and boat launch area. For those wanting adult beverages only, the area has many oerings. There are Irish pubs (Celtic Ray and Paddys Wagon) in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, respectively, and the Ice House (English) Pub in Punta Gorda. The Englewood area and Boca Grande have a number of restaurants and wine bars. On the way to Englewood Beach, youll pass Farlows on the Water, a favorite of locals which features tropical dining.Ž Its menu features fresh catches of the day and steaks. A drive along Beach Road reveals a wine bar and boat rental on the right, and along Manasota Key to the left and right, are both casual and upscale dining experiences. A number of restaurants oer water and sunset views. The rooftop at The Wyvern Hotel in Punta Gorda has live entertainment and a tapas bar, with an upscale restaurant downstairs. But up on the roof, people of all ages can be seen dancing to the music. Next door at Deans South of the Border, live music also goes on most nights on the patio area outdoors where many sit at the large bar. Harpoon Harrys, a destination of its own since 1993 in Punta Gorda at Fishermens Village, has live music on the water (and dancing), as does Hurricane Charleys restaurant (check out their sushi) on Retta Esplanade at the foot of the U.S. 41 southbound bridge. You can charter a yacht or smaller boat, hire a “shing guide, or you can even have your wedding and honeymoon here, Croft said. The Clerk of the Court in Charlotte County oers a wedding package, and arrangements can be made and found by going to the Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach Visitors and Convention Bureau at www. pure”orida.com.COVID cases, rate heading back upState still reporting two dozen deaths or more per week A GoFundMe account, organized by Ashley Spangler, has been created at: gofund.me/511ce815 Ashley, who, in addition to being Brittanys sister is also her co-worker, emphasized doctors have said that Brittany will be out of work at a minimum of six weeks. Brittany is one of the best friends Ive ever had, and goes above and beyond for everyone she knows,Ž Spangler said. In addition, she is one incredible mom.Ž Her other sister-in-law, Liz Daley, said people appreciate her. Shes outgoing, kind of feisty, extremely popular...everyone knows Brittany. She loves the beach and would do anything for anybody.ŽWOMANFROM PAGE 1C TOURISMFROM PAGE 1C We do have opportunities for members of the public to see sea turtle patients from the outside of Motes Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital,Ž said Mote communications coordinator Sean Stover. Because of the dierent injuries or ailments, some turtles may not be in water at all or in very shallow water until they can swim on their own. Boat strikes can do the most physical damage. From 2017-2021, Mote records list 176 turtles stranded locally with boat strikes and only 38 of those were alive. Boaters are not the only danger to sea turtles. So are the people who visit area beaches and leave their trash, chairs and sand castles. During mating season, trash on the beach, innocently made sand castles and even a forgotten chair can cause females on the beach to simply turn tail and head back to the Gulf to drop the eggs meant for that nest. Those eggs will never hatch. Trash left directly above a nest can prevent the hatchlings from crawling out of the nest and making their way into the water. Mote volunteers Mary Jo Perkins and Suzie Seerey Lester found such a situation last season. A large “lled trash bag was left directly above a nest, adjacent to a turtle nest marking stake. Global warming is another concern. Turtle gender is determined by nest temperature, so there are concerns that over time, we will see fewer males,Ž said Gretchen Lovewell, Motes Stranding Investigation Program Manager. More information about what is being done to help the turtles can be found at: mote.org/hospital To report distressed, injured or deceased sea turtles, manatees, dolphins or whales in the Sarasota/ Manatee area, call Motes strandings hotline at 888-345-2335.

PAGE 8C SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By JIM TURNERNEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDATALLAHASSEE „ Gov. Ron DeSantis recently signed a controversial measure that directs transportation ocials to determine if a waste byproduct from the fertilizer industry could be used in building roads. The measure (HB 1191), which drew opposition from environmental groups, will require the Florida Department of Transportation to study the use of phosphogypsum in road-construction aggregateŽ material. The department will have to “nish the evaluation by April 1. Phosphogypsum includes radioactive elements and is stored in huge stacks. It drew heavy attention in 2021 when about 215 million gallons of wastewater were discharged into Tampa Bay to avoid a potentially catastrophic breach at the closed Piney Point phosphate plant in Manatee County. Our goal is to hopefully identify this as a suitable road base so that we dont continue to just stack it and have these things that could potentially become Piney Point, and that were able to pull out some bad stu and use it, you know, for a road base thats safe,Ž Senate bill sponsor Jay Trumbull, R-Panama City, said while debating the proposal on May 1. But Elise Bennett, an attorney who is Florida and Caribbean director for the Center for Biological Diversity, issued a statement Thursday that blasted the bill. By signing o on this reckless handout to the fertilizer industry, Gov. DeSantis is paving the way to a toxic legacy generations of Floridians will have to grapple with,Ž Bennett said. This opens the door for dangerous radioactive waste to be dumped in roadways across the state, under the guise of a so-called feasibility study that wont address serious health and safety concerns.Ž In 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency barred the use of phosphogypsum in road construction. A state Senate sta analysis said in April that until such time as the EPA approves such use, the FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) would be prohibited from any use of phosphogypsum as a road construction aggregate material. Such use could only occur if the EPA issues an approval, and only under the conditions imposed by the EPA.Ž Trumbull said the material is already used in countries including Japan, Australia, Canada and Spain. Meanwhile, DeSantis on Thursday signed a bill (SB 170) that could boost legal challenges to local ordinances. Among other things, the bill would require local governments to suspend enforcement of ordinances that are challenged legally. It would not apply to several types of ordinances, such as measures needed to comply with federal or state laws or regulations. When the bill was debated May 3 on the House ”oor, Rep. Robbie Brackett, a Vero Beach Republican who sponsored the House version, said local ocials dont have a right to impose onerous ordinances on other people.Ž What this does is it allows the stakeholders of that community a vehicle to take action and stand against local governments that go too far,Ž said Brackett, a former Vero Beach mayor. But critics said the bill, which will take eect Oct. 1, could limit local governments ability to address issues ranging from water quality to climate change. Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, said progressive issues could be at risk, simply if an individual business owner doesnt like it.Ž Under the bill, plaintis who successfully challenge ordinances in court could receive up to $50,000 in attorney fees and costs. The bill was supported by groups such as the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Associated Industries of Florida, the Florida Retail Federation, the Florida Home Builders Association, Florida Realtors, the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association, the Florida League of Cities and the Florida Association of Counties. DeSantis vetoed a somewhat-similar measure last year, saying it needed to be more targeted. The 2022 proposal would have allowed businesses to sue cities and counties if ordinances caused at least 15 percent losses of pro“ts. In a veto letter, DeSantis took issue with the bill being broad and ambiguous,Ž which he said could result in unintended and unforeseen consequences and costly litigation.ŽPhosphogypsum road bill signed PHOTO PROVIDED BY LAUREN WHIDDON/FRESH TAKE FLORIDAA Mosaic phosphogypsum stack stands behind a fence in Bartow.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 PAGE 3D STAFF REPORTVENICE „ Two transitional deacons will be ordained to the priesthood in a special ceremony at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 15 at Epiphany Cathedral in Venice. The Most Rev. Frank J. Dewane, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Venice in Florida, will ordain Transitional Deacons Alejandro Giraldo Roldán and Daniel Scanlan. This is one of the most beautiful and rarely seen Sacraments in the Church,Ž Dewane said in a news release. The Diocese of Venice relies on dedicated men who commit their lives to serving God; the Diocese is blessed that these men have heard the call of the Lord, and responded.Ž During Ordination to the Priesthood, Roldán and Scanlan will freely present themselves to serve God, the Church and the Bishop of the Diocese of Venice and his successors. They will also make a renewed commitment to celibacy and promise obedience. ALEJANDRO GIRALDO ROLDÁN Roldán, 29, a native of Colombia, a pproaches the Ordination with great inner peace, knowing that he is blessed by gifts granted to him by God after nearly 11 years of discerning his vocation, he said. It is a gift I receive from God, not because of my abilities but because of His great mercy and love towards me,Ž he said. A pivotal moment in the life of Deacon Roldán was receiving his First Holy Communion, what he called one of the happiest days of his life. It was at that moment and going forward that I experienced the love of God in a special way,Ž he said. That awakened my desire to become a priest.Ž At the age of 17, Roldán discerned a vocation with a religious order for a time, but he made a detour along the way. He ultimately continued at college, studying theology and earning a degree as a lay person. Unful“lled in life, he joined the Diocese of Venice as a seminarian in 2019. He “rst studied at St. John Vianney College Seminary in Miami before going on to St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach. As a seminarian, Roldán served in a pastoral assignment at St. Mary, Star of the Sea Parish on Longboat Key, and a pastoral year at St. Thomas More Parish in Sarasota. Roldán will be vested during the ordination by the Parochial Vicar of St. Thomas More, Rev. Lawton Lang, and will also celebrate his “rst Mass as a priest at St. Thomas More, on Sunday, July 16 at noon. DANIEL SCANLAN Deacon Scanlan, 28, was born and raised in Fort Myers in a large family, the seventh of 11 children, before they moved to Ave Maria. When he was 13, he had his “rst thought about becoming a priest when he heard his oldest sibling tell the family about his own discernment to the priesthood. I think I was fascinated because I never considered how one became a priest,Ž he said. I didnt even know what a seminary was ƒ this was a big moment in my life because the thought that my own brother might become a priest made this vocation become real and personal to me.Ž It wasnt until later in high school when the idea of a discernment surfaced again. It occurred during a Steubenville youth conference in Orlando, when at the end, all men and women who were discerning were asked to come up to the stage. My heart began pounding when I heard those words,Ž he said. I never really spoke about the priesthood to anyone and when they invited everyone up, I had to make a choice ƒ This was the “rst time I had to acknowledge to myself: yeah ... I am discerning the priesthood.Ž Scanlan “rst studied at Ave Maria University before deciding to follow his heart to become a Diocesan seminarian at St. John Vianney College Seminary in Miami. He later studied in Rome at the Ponti“cal North American College and received a degree in sacred theology from the Ponti“cal Gregorian University. Most recently, he initiated his studies in moral theology at the Ponti“cal University of Santa Croce. Following his ordination, he will transfer to the Ponti“cal John Paul II Institute in Washington, D.C., to study for his licentiate of Sacred Theology of Marriage and Family. Since joining the Diocese as a seminarian, Scanlan has served in pastoral assignments at the following Parishes: St. Vincent de Paul in Fort Myers; Ss. Peter and Paul the Apostles in Bradenton; St. Francis Xavier in Fort Myers; St. Joseph in Bradenton; and St. Katharine Drexel in Cape Coral. Scanlan will be vested during the Ordination by his eldest brother, Father Eric Scanlan, Pastor of Incarnation Parish in Sarasota, and will celebrate his “rst Mass as a priest on Sunday, July 16 at 10 a.m. at Ave Maria Catholic Church in Ave Maria. All are welcome and encouraged to attend the Ordination. It is important that the faithful support each Ordination as the Priests being ordained are a future link to the continuation of the Sacraments,Ž Dewane said. The Ordination will also be livestreamed at facebook.com/ epiphanycathedral, or the Cathedral website, epiphanycathedral.org.Bishop to ordain priests at Epiphany CathedralPublic invited to attend special MassSCANLAN ROLDÁN By MARY HENDRICKSONRELIGION COLUMNISTDoes something ever catch your eye for no good reason? I was sitting on a beach last week and saw this lonely blue bucket. You cant tell from the photo, but the beach was crowded, full of children and adults swimming and building masterpieces from the sand. This bucket was totally ignored, though. I stared at it for over an hour, willing its owner to come back and claim it, but no one ever came. It could have been used to create a castle or to “ll the moat around one. Someone could have “lled it with treasures they found on the beach. It could even have been used to pour water on some unsuspecting sunbather. No, not this bucket. It had been abandoned, and the tide threatened to take it away. Jesus often spoke about water. He calmed the storms with His voice and hands. He spoke of being thirsty as He was perishing on the cross. Jesus is baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. One of my favorite passages about Jesus and water involves the woman at the well. This story is told in John, chapter four. You see, the poor woman that He encounters is an outcast. She has been married multiple times and when Jesus encounters her, has been living out of wedlock with yet another man. Jesus arrives at the well where she is using a bucket to scoop water for her household and asks her for a drink. On many levels, this is shocking, as society frowned upon it for various reasons. They have an interesting discussion during which Jesus reveals Himself as the Living Water, able to quench the deepest thirst within her soul. Her reaction is priceless. She points out that He cant even get Himself a drink from a well so how in the world can He provide water to quench thirst? I love His response. Jesus answered, Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.Ž After further conversation, the woman is so startled by how much Jesus reveals about her, that she leaves her water jar and runs back to town to tell everyone. I can just picture that water jar, left behind just like the bucket on the beach. I truly hope that someone claimed that bucket, but I left before knowing for sure. How many times have I left behind living water instead of drinking deeply from the well that Christ provides? Jesus says, Let anyone who is thirsty come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will ”ow from within them.Ž (John 7:37-38) Have you been thirsty these last few sweltering weeks? Dont settle for body hydration. Quench your soul as well. Then let the grace of Christ, the living water,Ž ”ow from you to those around you. You will be blessed, and they will be as well. Pastor Mary Hendrickson is an ordained ECC minister serving the Covenant Church at Venice Isle Estates.Thirsty? Drink from this water source PHOTO PROVIDED I have some missionary friends who have been serving in the country of their calling for decades. They have decided to become citizens of the country of their ministry while retaining their U.S. citizenship. We call that dual citizenship. They are subject to the laws of both countries while enjoying the privileges of both countries. When the apostle Paul wrote to the believers in the church of Colosse, he said: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in ColosseƒŽ (Colossians 1:1-2). He identi“es them as in Christ, but also in Colosse. They have dual citizenship. When we trust Christ as our Savior, we are granted a new citizenship. Paul told us in Phil. 3:20: For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.Ž As citizens of heaven, we follow the constitution of the Word of God and pledge our allegiance to the Son of God. To Him we owe our greatest loyalty and our highest obedience. We are to put our Lord “rst in our love and seek Him “rst in our priorities (Matt. 6:33). We are to enjoy the rich fellowship with our family of faith. One day the Lord will return for us and take us to the capital city of our new kingdom ƒ heaven. Even though we are “rm die-hard citizens of heaven we cannot ignore our duties to our other citizenship. God has placed us on this earth to ful“ll our duties to our neighbors and fellow countrymen. One duty is to be the light of the world. We should re”ect the lifestyle of Jesus Christ and shine brightly His love. We also need to be the salt of the earth. We have a duty to season our environment with the truth of Gods Word and to make people thirsty for God. As citizens in this world, we also need to communicate to everyone the gospel of Jesus Christ so that they too will become dual citizens. The old gospel song says: This world is not my home Im just a-passing through, my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue.Ž But as we are passing through we must not forget our duties to this world.

SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 | YOURSUN.COMARTS SUN By ED SCOTTSTAFF WRITERVENICE „ When you are a young artist and wondering if you have what it takes to go the long haul, a little recognition of your talents and a prize to help with supplies can make a big di erence. Chloe Kortie had dabbled in art her entire life but when the COVID-19 pandemic happened while she was a sophomore at Pine View School, she found she had more free time to pursue it. First, the theater enthusiast created a graphic novel. Then she kept drawing and drawingŽ and picked up painting as well. Kortie and other young artists with diverse backgrounds “ nd encouragement through the Venice Art Center Student Online Art Show. But Kortie, Bryanna Stults and Chau Mai, past and present show participants, had di erent reasons for participating, but have one thing in common: They caught the judges eyes. ABOUT THE COMPETITION Now in its fourth summer, the show „ created in 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic „ is juried by a group of professional Venice Art Center artists. Each week, for 10 weeks, student artists ages 15-20 residing in Nokomis, North Port, Osprey and Venice, submit their original artwork to the contest. This years competition began May 29. Prizes are $50 for “ rst place each week. After 10 weeks, there are end-of-show prizes for “ rst ($400), second ($300) and third place ($200), in addition to multiple honorable mentions ($50). The prize for the best overall body of work is $400 plus a $500 gift card to Michaels Stores. Online student art competitions emerged out of necessity in 2020 when the South Sarasota County School Show, usually an in person show annually at the VAC, was canceled due to the pandemic. (The May show, run by the Sarasota County School District, includes 19 area schools.) Venice Art Center CEO Mary Moscatelli said the center wanted a way to use money from the sponsor, the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. They were so kind to allow us to be ” exible with our grant ƒ to allow us to still provide an exhibition experience for the students.Ž It went so well that after the school districts show returned to the art centers walls, the foundation and the VAC agreed to have an online summer competition for students. This is something that the Community Foundation and we love to do in the summer because it keeps the kids engaged with us,Ž Moscatelli said. And it gives the artsy kids in the community the ability to keep creating art and sending it in and competing all summer long.Ž Moscatelli added that she CREATIVE COMPETITIONA little encouragement goes a long way in fueling students artistic dreams COURTESY OF CHAU MAIBreathe by Chau MaiSEE CREATIVE , 8E BUYTICKETSNOW BACKBYPOPULARDEMAND! 941.488.1115|VeniceTheatre.org

PAGE 2E þ SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 þ The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com en-USBy en-US C. ISAIAH SMALLS II MIþAAMI HERþALD ALD en-USMIAMI — One of the rst en-US things that you notice about en-US Anthony Reed II’s work is the en-US color.en-US Splashes of red, blues and en-US purple color the faces of the en-US Black subjects in his art. Ask en-US Reed about his choice of color en-US palette and it’s very clear that he en-US sees Black people dierently.en-US “I understood that our skin has en-US reds, has purples,” said Reed, beten-US-en-US ter known by his nom de plume en-US Mojo. “And if the sun is hitting it, en-US it has yellows and oranges. I see en-US these colors all the time when I en-US see us. I’m seeing colors versus en-US skin.”en-US Reed’s expansive color palette en-US will be on full display at Grand en-US Opening Gallery in Wynwood en-US until July 21. Entitled “For Better en-US or Worse,” the exhibit takes en-US viewers on a journey centered en-US around creativity in spite of en-US circumstance.en-US “What made that title so en-US important was because it made en-US me think of all the things we’ve en-US been through as Black folks and en-US how we’re able to transmute that en-US into something positive,” said en-US Reed, a St. Louis-born artist who en-US moved to Miami in 2018. “Like en-US how can you take slavery, how en-US can you take being oppressed and en-US still strive.”en-US Reed’s collaboration with en-US Grand Opening Gallery for en-US his rst solo exhibit was no en-US coincidence. For an artist whose en-US residencies have taken him to en-US Ghana and France, he wanted en-US his solo show debut to be Black. en-US Like Black, Black. Like “open on en-US Juneteenth in a gallery owned by en-US two Black men” Black.en-US “I just wanted to celebrate baen-US-en-US sically freedom for Black people,” en-US said Keyani Watkins, a co-owner en-US of Grand Opening Gallery who en-US also serves as the artistic director en-US and curator. Watkins added that en-US he chose Mojo because of his en-US “beautiful portraits of Black peoen-US-en-US ple.” “Those portraits are usually en-US happy portraits. He paints in this en-US very colorful style so it showcasen-US-en-US es bright happiness and a feeling en-US of family and togetherness en-US through the canvas.”en-US Grand Opening Gallery en-US co-owner Jason Wess added that en-US this exhibit is “deeper” than just en-US showcasing Black art.en-US “It’s art on a wall by a Black en-US man in a Black space curated by en-US Black people,” said Wess, who en-US founded the fashion label Grand en-US Opening in 2019 and opened en-US his rst boutique-gallery space en-US alongside co-owner Taachi Hayes en-US in Overtown in 2020. The collecen-US-en-US tive moved to Wynwood in 2021.en-US “We want the community to see en-US how a Black man can do stu like en-US this in Wynwood,” Wess added.en-US VISUAL STORYTELLINGen-US Across the show’s seven pieces, en-US Reed explores Black boy joy en-US (“OVERtown: The Brothahood”), en-US the relationship with his son en-US (“KINGShighway 2”) and even en-US his own spirituality as Bible en-US verses accompany many of en-US the works. These verses help en-US dene the stories that each piece en-US intends to tell.en-US “The Bible taught me the en-US responsibility in storytelling,” en-US Reed said. “The responsibility in en-US storytelling for me was to make en-US sure if I’m going to tell a story, en-US I’m going to tell the truth of the en-US story. If I’m going to paint a peren-US -en-US son, I’m going to paint the person en-US exactly how they look. But also, en-US with the responsibility, I’m going en-US to make sure that people are en-US shown in the best light possible.”en-US Take “THERE,” for example. en-US Created during Reed’s residency en-US in France, the self-portrait en-US shows the artist with four arms en-US outstretched while what appears en-US to be owers surround his body en-US and colors explode around his en-US limbs. And while Reed never en-US thought he’d do self-portraiture, en-US the surreal elements of the en-US piece allowed him to “showcase en-US spirituality in art.”en-US “The explosion of color is just en-US letting it out. Letting everything en-US that I had out. It also shows that en-US I’m grounded on Earth,” said en-US Reed. “I’m trying to show that en-US the ground, the plants, the vines en-US is coming through me and out of en-US my hands as well. I’m connected en-US to this. I’m connected to the en-US ground. I’m connected to the en-US ground. I’m connected to you. en-US I’m connected to everybody.”en-US That connectivity is something en-US that Reed speaks about a lot. en-US Nowhere is that more apparent en-US than in his “a LIVE” piece in en-USwhich he reimagines Trayvon en-US Martin as an adult. In the piece’s en-US description, Reed talks about en-US how history has led him to create en-US works that promote “positivity, en-US peace and prosperity.” The en-US description ends with a challenge en-US for the viewer to “treat all people en-US with respect, love and empathy.”en-US “We need to leave this place en-US better than we found it,” Reed en-US wrote. “Be the change we want to en-US see.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 PAGE 3E THE CONVERSATION By SILVIA HURTADO GONZÁLEZTHE CONVERSATIONA few years ago the dating website eHarmony concluded that pro“les that included reading in their list of hobbies were more attractive to the opposite sex. Speci“cally, the data revealed that men who mentioned reading as one of their personal interests received 19% more messages, while for women, those who said they read received only 3% more messages. So, is reading sexy? The writer Jeanette Winterson thinks so, because, in her opinion, what comes o the photo is absolute concentration, and nothing is sexier than absolute concentration.Ž MARILYN MONROE READING ULYSSES It should be made clear that Winterson is referring to a speci“c set of photos: those of Marilyn Monroe reading UlyssesŽ by James Joyce. One summer day in 1955, Eve Arnold, a star photographer of the time, went to “nd her model so they could take the agreed-upon series of pictures. When they stopped in a park, Monroe became engrossed in reading Ulysses while Arnold inserted a roll of “lm into her camera. When ready, she was unable to resist photographing the actress in that trance. Another thought is that the initiative for the photos came from Marilyn herself, who was as attracted to the world of literature and the theatre as she was to the spotlight. Reading was also a useful tool to combat her image as a dumb blondeŽ. It is obvious that Marilyn Monroe … or Paul Newman, for that matter … is sexy with or without reading. However, what Winterson is really talking about is the fascination of the image of a reader, any reader. ST. AMBROSES READING IN SILENCE This is what St. Augustine must have experienced when, toward the end of the 4th century, he observed St. Ambrose, bishop of Milan, reading in silence: But while reading, his eyes glanced over the pages, and his heart searched out the sense, but his voice and tongue were silent. Ofttimes, when we had come (for no one was forbidden to enter, nor was it his custom that the arrival of those who came should be announced to him), we saw him thus reading to himself, and never otherwise.Ž (St. Augustine, ConfessionsŽ, VI, 3) It is no wonder that St. Augustine was surprised by the silent exercise of reading, since, at that time, all readings were done aloud. Apart from this fact, Irene Vallejo goes further: Augustine realizes that this reader is not at his side despite his great physical proximity, but has escaped to another, freer and more ”uid world of his own choosing, is traveling without moving and without revealing to anyone where to “nd him.Ž FASCINATION FOR READERS From St. Ambrose to Marilyn Monroe, there have been many portraits or self-portraits of people with a book in their hands. Ourit Ben-Haïm, a Moroccan photographer based in New York, was drawn by the same attraction and set up a project called Underground New York Public LibraryŽ to collect photos of anonymous people reading on platforms or inside New York underground cars. Reading is sexyŽ continues to be a slogan that tries to draw attention, especially in speci“c circumstances, but it is not something new. This very expression was created in the image and likeness of the phrase smart is the new sexyŽ, which was used by the Newspaper Association of America to promote reading in the United States. From a psychological point of view, perhaps there is some truth in our fascination with these images. Cristian Vázquez tries to justify it in the following manner: What we like about a person who reads is to see them immersed in a strange world, which has nothing to do with the environment around them, a world of which we can only get the tiniest hints through their face, their expressions. In other words, a readers face is a kind of window into the world created by the book.Ž THE MYSTERY OF READING It seems that what is so mysterious about such pictures is the fact that reading is the most private and intimate act … It is the lovers talk, it is the place of whispers and sighsŽ, Winterson goes so far as to say … for it is by reading that we become inaccessible and unreachable, while the viewer is left with an in“nite sense of helplessness. A good proposal to contemplate images, portraits and photos of people reading is Stefan Bollmans book titled Women Who Read Are Dangerous,Ž a moving tribute to women readers, which brings together a striking selection of paintings, prints and photographs of women reading by various artists from the Middle Ages to the present day. The last photograph in this gallery is actually the one of Marilyn Monroe reading Ulysses.Ž It is the perfect time for us to give ourselves the opportunity to lose ourselves in the feelings and fantasies that come from reading. Because, as Emily Dickinson said: There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away.Ž Silvia Hurtado González is a Professor in the Department of Spanish Language and Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the University of Valladolid. The article originally was published on The Conversation.ŽOne reason is they are lost in the world created by the book SHUTTERSTOCK/VANIA LYNDWe often nd people reading as sexy or mysterious because they are immersed in another world revealed in the book, magazine or tablet they are holding.ALEXANDER IMAGE/SHUTTERSTOCKWatching someone read is witnessing a private and intimate act. ABBEVILLE PRESS By JED GOTTLIEB BOSTON HERALDSly Stone made a lot of essential releases. But what was his one EssentialŽ … capital eŽ … record? Its Andrew Winistorfers job to decide, and then share the news with the vinyl collecting world. As the senior music and editorial director for Vinyl Me, Please, Winistorfer curates the companys monthly record clubs. Winistorfer and the team at VMP (vinylmeplease. com) lovingly and meticulously put together vinyl reissues that subscribers eagerly await … the “ve subscription categories are Essentials, Classics, Hip-Hop, Country and Rock. In case you are wondering, Winistorfer picked Slys 1970 LP Theres A Riot Goin OnŽ for Julys Essential release. This is obviously an essential record, its his masterpiece,Ž he told the Herald. Im constantly pinching myself that I get paid to be like, Hey, what are we doing with Sly and the Family Stone?Ž Vinyl Me, Please started in 2013 with a dozen subscribers who were happy to have fellow music junkies send them monthly mailings of great records. In months, VMP had a couple hundred subscribers. A few years later, that number grew to thousands, then tens of thousands during the pandemic FAMILIAR FEELING For those in their 40s and 50s, getting a bunch of records in the mail is a gleeful experience that harkens to the days of Columbia Houses 12 CDs for a penny (or rather, a penny now, hundreds of dollars later for you, or your parents). Trust me, the glee is still both real and intense … but now it costs $138 for three months, which gets your four LPs plus bonus stu like exclusive art prints and essays about the releases. While VMP has plenty of Gen X customers, Columbia House nostalgia isnt fueling the companys explosion. The growth is in younger generations who have decided it isnt enough to just have their favorite album on their phone,Ž Winistorfer said. Its this opportunity to have this thing that you really love at your “ngertips in a way thats not as disposable as everything else. Its a physical manifestation of your love for, say, this Tyler the Creator album and, no matter what happens with Spotify or Tidal or Apple Music, you will always have this record.Ž The clubs arent just mailing ultra-hip, young acts like Tyler the Creator or bedrock artists such as Sly to customers.

PAGE 4E SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By CHRISTOPHER SPATA TAMPA BAY TIMESINVERNESS … Dont call them impersonators. The men who do this will tell you that any schmo can impersonate. That impersonatorŽ is akin to impostor.Ž That Elvis tribute artists are, well, artists. On a recent rainy Wednesday afternoon, one such artist leaned against the brown, metal facade of the Citrus County Auditorium, at the edge of a fairgrounds in a rural town with no major highway connection, and re”ected on how he got there. Bill Cherry was big and wore a Harley Davidson bandana. A tank top showed o arms more jacked than Elvis ever were, and his blue eyes were cloudier. He doesnt do an Elvis voice ostage, but hes got Elvis in his voice. He doesnt give his age, but he remembers clearly the day Elvis died. The thing people get wrong,Ž he said, is they think that we think we are Elvis.Ž No one can be Elvis, said Cherry, one of only 15 Elvis tribute artists ever crowned an Ultimate Elvis in an Elvis Presley Enterprises-sanctioned competition at Graceland. Not even close. You have the ministers that preach the gospel, right? They didnt write it, but they preach it,Ž he said. We sing the songs, but the godhead is God.Ž ITS NO JOKE Did you expect that a story about guys who don white jumpsuits, heavy makeup and $2,500 wigs to sing old songs in a familiar vibrato to retireeheavy crowds of women in bejeweled Elvis shirts would be a laugh? I did, when I set o to cover the “rst night of Elvis: The Summer Festival, which recently enjoyed a “ve-day local run. But while the world of Elvis tributes de“nitely can be funny „Elvis himself could be funny „ its no joke. There are Elvis fans, and then there are fans of the modern Elvis live concert experience. Devotees of the tribute artists want more than a recording can give. In small towns and theaters across America, a dedicated group of professionals oers what they seek. To be clear, Elvis, the legend, needs no help preserving his legacy. Tribute artists are stoking the “res of something dierent. They keep alive a bit of how it felt to sit feet from pure, pulsing charisma. The festival kicking o a few hours later boasted a starstudded lineup within the Elvis tribute universe. Among the dozen-plus performers were “ve Ultimate Elvises, several Images of the King titleists, the best 50s Elvis in the U.K.,Ž a Canadian Grand Champion, an Elvis Extravaganza winner and the worlds only holder of four consecutive Elvis Week titles. Not to mention champions of Tupelo, Branson, Niagara Falls, Lake George, the Poconos and Brunswick. Opening night of the local festival would be only for those couple hundred hardcore “ve-day passholders, the ones whod traveled from Ohio, England, New Zealand. The ones who go to as many tributes a year as they possibly can, lining up after shows to receive kisses on the cheek from the stars. Soon they would roll in with cars airbrushed with young 50s pompadour Elvis and campy 70s Elvis, and in motorized scooters with Elvis plates. They are Elvis fans, of course, but they are also fans of speci“c tribute artists. They buy CDs “lled with cover versions of Suspicious MindsŽ and If I Can DreamŽ and T-shirts printed with their almost-Elvis faces. BILL CHERRYS START Cherry sang Elvis to entertain his mom as a little kid. He “rst performed publicly as a young adult in the mid1980s. Years later, working as a welder at a steel foundry in St. Louis, he performed Elvis on the side. When union rules stopped him from taking time o for a show, though, he rolled the dice and went all-in. Ive never had another job,Ž he said, but sometimes I drive past that foundry and look at it. Its so dirty, and I think, Ive been to England, Italy, Spain, cruise ships, places I never would have seen. Ive been blessed, all because of Elvis.Ž One might ask, how long can this Elvis thing go on? Much of the audience is aging, and so are some of the artists, who, like Cherry, long ago outlived the king himself. Elvis died at 42 and would now be nearly 90. Someone will always listen to his music,Ž Cherry said. But this part of it, the people who want a taste of what it was like to see Elvis live in the room, well, everything has its time.Ž Elvis wave of popularity may have “nally crested, Cherry believes, but hes grateful to ride it for as long as it makes sense. No artist in history has inspired the depth and breadth of live tributes as Elvis. Who knows why, but one theory is that it was Elvis reclusiveness before dying young. That someone so explosively fascinating was such a rare commodity meant that even the chance to see a facsimile was extremely appealing. With the evening of showtime closing in, Cherry left for the rental house where he was staying with some other Elvises. (In Elvis world, competitions can be tense, but touring gigs build a sense of brotherhood, the Elvises said.) COTE DEONATHS INFLUENCE Preparations continued in the old-school auditorium, and backstage another Elvis was “elding last-minute calls. Cote Deonath, at only 26, is a highly experienced Elvis when you consider his “rst public performance was at 3, wearing a tiny gold lamé suit. He would perform that night, but Deonath also owns the company that produces the Inverness festival, helping carry on the towns long Elvis “xation. With a postwar citrus stand operating just up the street from the theater, the place still looks much like the small, Old Florida town where a young Elvis arrived in 1961 to “lm scenes for his movie Follow That Dream.Ž Locals waited hours to get a glimpse of him, and the courthouse where Elvis “lmed the “nal scene is now a local history museum. When Deonath was an unruly toddler, his grandmother showed him Follow That Dream.Ž He sat perfectly still, so she showed him again. As a boy, growing up in the area, he sang for tourists on Follow That DreamŽ tours. The Inverness show is just one part of Deonaths burgeoning Elvis-tribute empire that in “ve years has grown into a slate of annual festivals. Most importantly, Deonath had recently secured the rights to use Elvis name and image in his marketing. Before that, hed had to signal toward fans with titles like the King Creole Extravaganza.Ž He is earnest, enthusiastically motormouthed and a true believer that the Elvis tribute industry can actually grow. He has seen younger faces in the crowd since the 2022 Oscar-nominated “lm Elvis,Ž and he feels something bubbling. The sky is the limit,Ž Deonath said. Do I think were going to pack out stadiums? No. But can we get up to 2,000, 3,000-seaters? Absolutely, 100%.Ž Hes 5 feet, 5 inches and swarthier than the other Elvises, traits he points out himself to illustrate that a tribute artist with talent doesnt have to be a traditional Elvis right o the shelf. If the older Cherry is cool, con“dent, been-around-the-block Elvis, Deonath is inspirational Elvis. Comeback Special 1968 Elvis. Kids bullied him in high school when they found out he was playing Elvis on weekends. Elvis wasnt cool then,Ž he said. When he was 18, attending “re“ghter EMT school and living with his dad, he got a gig on a tribute cruise. My “rst taste of freedom out of the nest.Ž He told the Elvises onboard that it was just a hobby. They looked at me and were like, Kid, this isnt a hobby for you. They knew. And by the time we got o that boat, I knew.Ž He left school. Six years ago, he took a chance, promoting his own solo Elvis show at the same Inverness theater. Twenty years old with $16,000 on the line. The 800-capacity show sold out. Now, his company employs his mother, friends and other family members. Thats what I think about when I see these people from high school, and theyre still here drinking in the same bars, and they sarcastically tell me, Oh thats really cool youre still doing the Elvis thing. And I just got back from Spain.Ž As the fans “led in, many early, greeting each other with hugs. The show began not with a song but with a panel discussion that included two Elvises from England (one performed his “rst gig at a tea party) and another from Alabama. They talked about makeup tips from their daughters, the plight of a bald Elvis and sideburn mishaps (coolest move: pulling o a loose sideburn and sticking it to their chest during a show). The Elvises went backstage to transform, the lights went down, and when they came back up, giant block letters were blazing white and bright, covering the back of the stage: E-L-V-I-S. The crowd was seated like at an old nightclub, with round tables set right up to the stage, which had a long runway jutting into the audience. Deonath hit the stage in a white jumpsuit with a giant Aztec sun symbol across the torso. He smiled vibrantly, and during For the Good Times,Ž held a womans hand. He pretended he was trying to yank it away but couldnt escape her grip. Youre going to rip my arm out of the socket,Ž he drawled, getting laughs. Cherry performed last, moving on stage with supreme swagger. A perfect lip snarl. One spastic leg. After so many years, he knew how to withhold, withhold, and boom „ hed deploy a hip wriggle or a karate punch that made the crowd explode. When he said If Your Head Is In the SandŽ would be the last of the night, the crowd cried out. When the lights came back on, four generations of women from one family slowly stood from their table. A girl in her early teens, genuinely excited, said, Come on, Grandma!Ž and led an older woman toward the faux gates of Graceland, where the Elvises would be waiting. None of those men are Elvis. They know it, the fans know it, and yet they are all Elvis. Whatever it was in Elvis that burned so bright that it still hasnt completely gone out all these decades later, it was still burning hot in a little theater in the middle of nowhere. It wont go on forever, but its not gone yet.The art of keeping Elvis alive in small-town FloridaSummer tribute festival in Inverness attracts international crowds DIRK SHADD/TAMPA BAY TIMESYou have to go outside and see my Elvis Van,Ž Pam Swartz, 66, from Baker, said referring to her vehicle covered with Elvis images.DIRK SHADD/TAMPA BAY TIMESCote Deonath shows o a photo of him performing as Elvis from the previous night, before the second night of Elvis: The Summer Festival in Inverness.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 PAGE 5E By GEORGE VARGATHE SAN DIEGO UNIONTRIBUNENow 46, multi-Grammy Award-winner Jason Mraz was born in 1977 „ the same year Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Jerry Lee Lewis, then 42, released his melancholic country-music single Middle Age Crazy.Ž Almost no one listening to Mrazs often buoyant new album, Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride,Ž will be reminded of Lewis belting out such high-octane 1950s rock classics as Great Balls of FireŽ and High School Con“ dential.Ž But there are clear thematic similarities between some of Mrazs musically upbeat new album and the downbeat Middle Age Crazy,Ž on which the now-deceased Lewis re” ected: And today hes forty years old, going on twenty / Dont look for the gray in his hair / Cause he aint got any. I thought Id be done at 40,Ž said Mraz, who „ six years later „ has responded to middle-age with a surprise left turn. Half the songs on Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical RideŽ embrace dance-pop and vintage disco. They were inspired, in part, by such Mraz favorites as Chic, Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, The Bee Gees and Jamiroquai. More on that in a moment. When I was a little kid, I saw being in your 40s as old age,Ž Mraz recalled. As a teen, my 20s were something to aspire to „ 40 always seemed just out of reach. I thought Id be done (with music) by then and the ideal life would be a family, kids and moving on. When you turn 40, its exciting. I celebrated my 40th birthday performing at the Hollywood Bowl. But when you turn 42, nobody cares.Ž Not coincidentally, Mraz muses about having turned 42 in the lyrics to Little Time,Ž a lilting ballad from his new album. In the same song, he also ponders what might happen if I reach 65.Ž The press materials accompanying Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical RideŽ make several references to Mraz being in his 40s. Such pulsating, fouron-the-” oor new songs as Getting Started,Ž I Feel Like DancingŽ and Feel Good TooŽ „ the albums opening three numbers „ sound like energetic odes to dancing the night away with youthful joy, if not outright abandon. Or, as this usually sunny troubadour put it in a statement when I Feel Like DancingŽ was released as the albums “ rst single in February: Songs appear out of a real necessity, and this song appeared as I struggled with identity and self-worth in my mid-40s.Ž Mraz paused for thought when asked if has undergone a midlife crisis. I dont think Ive had a midlife crisis just yet,Ž he replied. But maybe I have „ and I havent lived long enough past it to see that: Oh, yeah, that was de“ nitely a midlife crisis. I have absolutely shaken things up, over and over, for myself. I can see that pattern reappearing throughout my life. And every time I do, I rediscover myself through the power of songwriting. And I think: Im okay. Ž WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE The pros and cons of aging can di er from person to person, as Mraz readily acknowledged. Super“ cial concerns can fade. Wisdom can be gained from experience. But for a veteran artist who has been in the public eye for more than 20 years as music trends constantly change „ spedup songs on TikTok, anyone? „ feeling secure about your position can be challenging. The older I get, certain worries and stresses just sort of fade away,Ž Mraz said. I dont stress as much about how I look or surface-level things, like fashion. As a young person, I cared about: Do I “ t in? How do I look? There was a lot of vanity in my youth. The cons, as you get older, are that Im not really in the youth category anymore. Here I am, making a pop album and dance album. In music, those categories are dominated by young people, 18-28, and always have been. So, theres this feeling of: Im not really in the little kid category any more „ or the older group. Im ” oating in the middle. Ž Middle-age is not the only factor that inspired Mraz to write and record new songs speci“ cally designed to encourage him „ and his listeners „ to party down and shake their collective booty. MOTHERS ENCOURAGEMENT He also credits his mother, June Tomes, for encouraging him to make an overtly pop-oriented album. Mraz wasnt getting any younger, she noted, so he should do a pop album before its too late.Ž He concurred. The liner notes for Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical RideŽ dedicate the album to Mama June.Ž Speaking recently from his Oceanside farm home, Mraz „ who married Christina Carano in 2015 and recently announced their divorce „ stressed that he speci“ cally sought to make a pop album that embraced old-school music values. I always really wanted to make a dance-pop album, but not an electronic (dance) album that leaned on computer programs and drum machines,Ž he said. I wanted to make human dance music. So, sonically, thats what our e ort was. And thematically, I noticed that what was missing from my shows „ year after year „ was that I didnt have enough up-tempo songs that could turn the show into a dance party for my audience and myself. How would I rate my dancing? Right now, about 3 out of 10. But I want to be better. And thats how a song like I Feel Like Dancing “ nds its way through my subconscious and lands on the page. Because I try to generate experiences I havent had yet, or want to have, and songs can help.Ž For at least half the selections on Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical RideŽ „ whose title comes from the lyrics to Disco Sun,Ž a song on the album „ Mraz takes a deep dive into the music of the 1970s and early 1980s. To cite one case in point, the slinky grooves, sleek instrumental work and deftly executed higher-register lead vocals on Feel Like DancingŽ evoke the music of Boz Scaggs and Michael Jackson in their respective primes. Boz probably subconsciously „ Ive got a few of his records,Ž Mraz said. Michael? I de“ nitely had his posters on my wall gro wing up. Pr obably the “ rst song I ever danced to was something on his Thriller album, when I was 4 or 5, and was asking my family what dancing was and where the beat was. But making this album, I didnt really study those albums by him or Boz. I found myself listening to Nile Rodgers records with Chic, Giorgio Moroders Flashdance soundtrack album, Donna Summer and The Bee Gees. I was trying to understand how great dance music was made.Ž RAINING JANE COLLABORATION Nine of the 10 songs on Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical RideŽ were co-written by Raining Jane, the fourwoman Los Angeles band Mraz “ rst collaborated with in 2007. There was a concerted e ort to make this in tandem,Ž he said. And I love giving Raining Jane credit, because they were in the studio with me, they were part of the writing process, and they will be on my summer tour.Ž Mrazs new album reunites him with Swedens Martin Terefe, whose recording production credits range from Train and Mary J. Blige to Yungblud and Coldplay. Terefe produced Mrazs 2008 album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.Ž It includes two of Mrazs biggest hits „ Im YoursŽ and LuckyŽ (the latter featuring Colbie Caillat) „ and remains his biggest-selling release with sales of nearly 5 million. Mraz has made “ ve albums since then „ including 2020s reggae-inspired Look for the GoodŽ „ and his sensitive singer-songwriter persona has remained intact. Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical RidesŽ well-balanced mix of thumping, unabashed dance-pop songs and earnest ballads could be just the right combination to propel him back to the upper reaches of the national sales charts. This is the “ rst album since We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. that feels the most like a sequel to that album,Ž Mraz said, more so than anything Ive made since then, because of how ...Ž His voice trailed o . I dont know,Ž he said a moment later. I dont know what to tell you. Im just happy this album is out. It feels new and yet familiar, like something I would have done in 2008 but it happens to be in 2023.Ž GROWING UP A Virginia native, Mraz was heavily into musical theater growing up and was active in his high school choir, drama department and cheerleading squad. He credits his stint working in a cigar store in the late 1990s for providing time to study the craft of songwriting by learning to play classics by various artists. Virginia is tobacco country and I worked at Stogies Fine Cigars. I sold cigars, cigarettes and humidors,Ž recalled Mraz, whose grandfather worked for Philip Morris. Heres the best part of that gig: I sold cigars and cigarettes during the time the (anti-smoking) Truth Initiative campaign was “ rst getting a lot of attention. People were quitting smoking and establishments were (implementing) non-smoking policies. That was great for me, because it meant we had so few customers I could bring my guitar to work, practice songs and do deep di ves into Nina Simone, the Grateful Dead, Neil Young. We had a stack of CDs and Bob Dylan is who I mostly listened to. Then Id pick up my guitar, write my own songs and try to emulate them. It was a great gig! We pr obably had one customer an hour and I got to do that for a couple of years, until I had enough songs that I felt con“ dent enough with them.Ž Following his graduation from high school in his hometown of Mechanicsville but prior to his cigar store gig, Mraz studied for about 18 months at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York. He then brie” y enrolled at Virginias Longwood University before moving to San Diego in 1999 to get his start as a singer-songwriter. Mraz began performing at open mic nights at Java Joes in Ocean Beach, where he was befriended by top San Diego troubadour Gregory Page. The two have collaborated o and on ever since. Under the guidance of his thenmanager, concert promoter Bill Silva, Mraz honed his craft here. He signed an album deal with Elektra Records in 2002. Waiting for My Rocket to Come,Ž his Elektra debut album, featured Mrazs “ rst hit single, The Remedy (Im Lucky).Ž In 2005, he opened a string of U.S. shows for the Rolling Stones on the bands A Bigger BangŽ tour. A year later, Mrazs song Geek in the PinkŽ was a Top 10 hit in Hungary. His career reached an even higher level following the 2008 release of We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.Ž The same year saw him co-headline an outdoor concert with Eric Clapton at Hyde Park in London, where Mraz sold out the famed Royal Albert Hall three months later. Mraz toured relentlessly „ 11 months in 2008 and 10 months in 2009, a year that saw him earn two Grammy Awards. The success of Lucky,Ž Im YoursŽ and other Mraz favorites that brim with optimism cemented his status as a feel-good troubadour whose songs „ including 2014s You Can Rely On Me,Ž 2018s Love is Still the AnswerŽ and 2020s GratitudeŽ „ provide an aural balm in troubled times. WILLIE NELSON EXAMPLE The fact that he has released three albums since turning 40 suggests Mrazs career should extend beyond middle age. He performed May 6 at San Diegos Snapdragon Stadium on a double-bill with Jimmy Bu ett and will be on tour for much of the summer with the group Mraz bills as his Superband. I was really surprised to get to my 40s and still be generating songs and ideas, and to be diving deeper. I kind of woke up one day and realized this is what my life would be,Ž he said. I had the pleasure of sitting with Willie Nelson four or “ ve years ago „ when he was 85 „ in Maui. It was just the two of us and all he wanted to do was play demos for me! He was like: Hey, want to hear a new song I wrote? He played one CD after another of his new songs for me, and he was 85 or 86 at the time! Hes 90 now, still recording and touring. It occurred to me at that point, sitting with Willie: Why would we stop doing what we love doing? Why would we ever consider retirement, or think our ideas would dry up? That was really inspiring. It made me realize that Ill probably do this my whole life. The playing “ eld may change „ musical trends, who my colleagues are, or what the perceptions of me are „ all those things will be in ” ux. But I can rest assured knowing Ill wake up every day with interesting new music ideas, or a new idea accident that will happen on my instrument that will lead to new song. Every heartache will lead to a new song, every celebration will lead to a new song.ŽJason Mrazs response to middle age?Make a dancemusic album PHOTOS BY THE SAN DIEGO UNIONTRIBUNE/ K.C.

PAGE 6E SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com WARNER BROS. RECORDSThe four musicians who would become Black Sabbath were all from Birmingham, England, which was struggling to recover from World War II. Band members recall that they belonged to street gangs and fought each other until they realized their common love for rock music. In 1968, they, a second guitarist and a saxophone player formed a band called the Polka Tulk Blues Band. Their “rst gig on July 13, 1968, went down like the Titanic,Ž bass player Geezer Butler would say later. The crowd hurled insults at the band „ and especially at its lead singer, Ozzy Osbourne. The audience followed the band out to its van and brawled with them after the show. As they re“ned their sound „ becoming increasingly harder and louder „ the group shed the other members and changed its name to Earth. On a tour of Germany in the summer of 1968, they ran across another band with that same name and „ inspired by the title of a 1963 Boris Karlo movie „ changed their name again to Black Sabbath. With its new sound, the band began to attract rough but enthusiastic groups of fans. A recording contract quickly followed. Striving for cover art that would match the tone of the music on the bands “rst album, artist KeefŽ Macmillan photographed a creepy witchlike woman „ in fact, it was 18-year-old Louisa Livingstone „ on intentionally low-“delity “lm. In order to capture its live feel on vinyl, Black Sabbath worked quickly in the studio. Its “rst album was recorded in a single day. Its second album, Paranoid,Ž was recorded in six days. Both albums would sell well. The latter would feature whats still the bands best-known single, Iron Man.ŽThroughout the 1970s, Osbournes increasing use of drugs and alcohol resulted in a reduction of his participation in the group. He even left the band for a few months in 1977. By April 1979, however, the band was forced to “re him. The daughter of the bands manager „ Sharon Arden who later, ironically, would marry Osbourne „ recommended vocalist Ronnie James Dio as a replacement. Black Sabbath would go on to sell more than 70 million records. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and was presented with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019. With a constant shue of band members and especially lead singers „ including the occasional return of Osbourne „ Black Sabbath would “nally announce the end of the band in March 2017. Shown here: When each of the 10 lead singers of Black Sabbath started with the band.

PAGE 8E SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comthinks there are lots of artsy kidsŽ in Venice and these contests mean a lot to them.ŽIts a big deal. Theyre recognized just like you would be if you were an athlete.Ž For the online show, students submit their entries via email each week. After they are juried and a winner is chosen, contestants receive an email that contains images of all of the entries. The VACs 5,600-member email list is copied on that email, so the students get wide exposure. CREATIVE INCENTIVE Exhibition coordinator Suzanne Bowe, who corresponds with the artists, said she enjoys working on the online show because it gives students incentive to create. This is a way to get them encouraged by giving them a little check „ and a big check at the end,Ž she said. Let your creative juices go. Theyre so grateful, and Im the one whos grateful for them.Ž To be eligible for the grand prizes, artists must compete in at least four of the 10 weekly contests. Artists may submit as many entries as they desire each week. There are no entry fees. The artwork may have been created by the artists at any time in their lives. Contest organizers are looking for all forms of art, including three-dimensional, pen/ ink drawings, charcoal drawing, jewelry, and photography. Entrants are encouraged to use their imagination, and they do. Entries are pretty diverse,Ž Bowe says. Weve gotten a few that are kind of beyond my comprehension,Ž she said. The funky stu. Theyre all good in what they do.Ž Moscatelli and Bowe recalled a young artist who made a work of art from a Styrofoam cup. And it was so cool,Ž Moscatelli said. EXPANDING ART INTEREST For many, the summer program also triggered an interest in art in general. Kortie, who is working on a degree in digital arts at Florida International University, won the top prize and several w eekly prizes in the summer art competition last year and once so far this summer. Ive enjoyed it a lot,Ž Kortie said of the contest. All of the people who I have met and interacted with at the art center ƒ have always been nice and supportive of my art.Ž She added that the VACs mailing list is a great resource for her to put my art out for the world to see.Ž Kortie said Bowe told her that Sarasota artist Joseph Melancon had seen her art on the mailing list and commented on it. Mai, a Venice High School graduate, participated in both the student show and the online show several years ago, even though she hadnt started creating art until the pandemic. She won two student awards and painted a mermaid for the VACs FantaSea Project. I was not con“dent with my art, but Venice Art Center helped me recognize my work,Ž Mai said in a June 2021 interview with the Venice Gondolier . I feel more con“dent with myself.Ž Reached last month, the University of South Florida global health student said she plans to attend the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill to get a doctorate in pharmacy. The Venice Art Center helped me a lot,Ž Mai said. They helped me “gure out my top talent. They recognized it.Ž She ended up being such a phenomenal artist,Ž Moscatelli said recently. Her pieces were unbelievable. She could have competed in our adult shows and won. She just had a talent that was natural (that) she didnt know she had.Ž LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER The students notice each others work. When asked to cite an artist in the summer competition whose work she admired, Kortie unhesitatingly referenced Stults. Stults said its pretty coolŽ to know that someone thinks shes a good artist. Looking forward, she plans to continue art as a major hobbyŽ while pursuing a career in engineering. Can art and engineering be combined? For several years, as a member of the North Port High School Technology Student Association, which participates in competitions, Stults created the illustrations for the Childrens StoriesŽ competition. The perks from the the VAC summer competition also are great. If I win “rst place, I get $50, which is de“nitely a major bonus, and its nice to see everyone elses artwork as well.ŽCREATIVEFROM PAGE 1E ENTER ADULT SHOWSMary Moscatelli said the Venice Art Center encourages youth artists competing in the summer show and/or the schools show to also enter the regular exhibits/ shows that adults typically enter. The VAC will waive entry fees for youth artists for the first non-student show they enter. For example, the entry fee for the upcoming exhibition ReflectionsŽ is $20. (The VAC is receiving art for that show July 21-22.) The VAC also is looking for teens to volunteer or to apply for internships.

By LISA BOONELOS ANGELES TIMESLOS ANGELES „ Living in a 1,400-square-foot home, Xiyin Tang and Paul Laskow wanted more space for their growing family. Now, they have it: A 320-square-foot prefab accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, that extends their ” oor plan while preserving their historic 1936 Streamline Moderne home. The couple purchased the historic-cultural monument in the Fairfax District for $1.5 million in the summer of 2020 after it had sat on the market for several months. The three-bedroom, two-bath home was designed by architect William Kesling as a Hollywood hideaway for actor Wallace Beery and was problematic for several reasons, including that it was tenant-occupied and has historic status, which could prove challenging for future renovations. And to top it o , it was small. However, small-space living was not a deal breaker for the former New Yorkers, who had rented an 850-squarefoot apartment in Dimes Square before moving to an apartment in West Hollywood. It was big for two people by New York standards,Ž says Tang, 35, a professor at UCLAs School of Law, about the house. When the couple and their 2-year-old daughter, Catherine, “ nally moved in, Tang was pregnant with the couples second child. Suddenly, with another baby on the way, the couple worried they couldnt accommodate visits from their greatly missed parents who lived on the East Coast. We felt like we needed more space,Ž says Tang. We intended to build something in the back, but the timeline changed when I got pregnant. We needed to build something very quickly.Ž Because of the homes historic status „ it was designated a historic-cultural monument in 2018 after a developer purchased it and “ led plans to build condos on the site „ the couple was required to work with the Cultural Heritage Commission on exterior and interior alterations. They loved the homes Streamline Moderne details and decided to preserve the house with minor changes, including a new roof and kitchen. They added the ADU behind their home on the spacious 7,000-square-foot lot. Working with Los Angeles-based Cover, which specializes in one-story prefabricated ADUs manufactured in L.A., the couple wanted to install a custom ADU (priced between $275,000 and $295,000, depending on site-speci“ c conditions) before Tang delivered their second daughter, Maggie, in November 2021. For its part, Cover o ers “ xed pricing upfront and manages all aspects of the building process. But it could not contain the issues that arose during the pandemic. One of the advantages of a prefab ADU is that it can be built more quickly than a traditional ADU,Ž Tang says. Unfortunately, we tried to build an ADU at the worst possible time because of COVID. There was a lumber shortage. Permitting took a year. Everything was back ordered.Ž After the permits were “ nally issued, the ADU was installed on site in 43 days using a panelized building system manufactured in Los Angeles. Seven months later, the permits for occupancy for the ADU were completed in time for Maggies “ rst birthday party. One thing that is di erent about our prefab system is that we ship ” at-packed panels from our Gardena factory rather than shipping large room-sized parts that require a massive crane,Ž says Alexis Rivas, co-founder and chief executive of Cover. Overhead power lines and trees can prevent you from building with a big crane.Ž OPENPLAN LIVING AREAS The steel studio comprises an openplan bedroom, kitchen and living area with a small desk between the kitchen and full-height built-in storage. A bathroom with a walk-in shower faces a stacked washer and dryer that is a hit with guests. A ” oor-to-ceiling sliding glass door allows easy access to the backyard, and narrow ” oor-to-ceiling windows look onto the main house and the pool, connecting the two homes. There are also integrated wall-mounted LED lights that add illumination and help keep lighting things simple. The main house has a lot of wind ows, and you can see people coming and going to the back house,Ž Tang says. Its nice to talk to your friends and family through the doors and windows.Ž Tang, who loves to cook, was drawn to Cover because of its high-end kitchen appliances, including an under-counter Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Wolf induction cooktop, oven and hood. Sitting side by side, the austere squarebox ADU, with its warm oak ” oors and white composite exterior, complements A prefab ADU behind a historic Hollywood hideaway keeps generations connected RICARDO DEARATANHA/LOS ANGELES TIMES/TNSA modern prefab ADU by Los Angeles-based Cover shares space with a Streamline Moderne home designed by architect William Keslin g for actor Wallace Beery in 1936.

PAGE 2F SUNDAY, JULY 9, 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 SATURDAY STUMPER MARMADUKE By Brad Anderson BY NICOLE HVIDSTEN STAR TRIBUNEMINNEAPOLIS „ It takes a certain amount of pluck to start a business, and Sara Doherty and Britt Jungerberg have it. Best friends since high school, the two have always enjoyed hosting parties and experimenting with recipes together. Their pickle dip „ a mix of white beans, cream cheese, herbs, spices and pickles „ was always in high demand. We had been making a simple version of the pickle dip at our get-togethers and everybody raved about it and requested it every time,Ž Doherty says. So we decided to start a business.Ž In 2017, after tasting parties and recipe tweaking, they started selling Darling Pickle Dip at local farmers markets. A trademark hiccup led to a name change, and they landed on Plucky Pickle Dip. It really resonated with us because to be plucky means to be spirited or undaunted. Or just keep on chugging. And that really felt like our journey,Ž Jungerberg says. THE JOURNEY That journey started with the two „ who work in sales and marketing „ mixing the dip, “lling and labeling containers and selling them at farmers markets. They soon landed in local stores, and eventually turned over the making of Plucky Pickle Dip to a manufacturer. We were so thrilled to not be in the kitchen anymore,Ž Doherty says. We wanted it to be the best of the product that we loved and made ourselves, but we were de“nitely excited to ... focus on the sales and marketing and growth.Ž Does it compare to the original, beloved pickle dip? I would say its gotten better,Ž Doherty says. It tastes like how we used to make it ourselves in the kitchen, but with a better shelf life.Ž For now there are four varieties: original dill, spicy dill, cheddar and mustard, and an original vegan version. ($5.99, pluckypickledip.com has a store locator), and a recent deal with Target now has it in 40 states. Doherty mixes the dip with a can of tuna for a quick tuna salad, or slathers it on burgers. Jungerberg enjoys it on brats, hot dogs or anything o the grill, but her favorite is as a dip with pretzels. Its also an obvious choice as a sandwich spread or on vegetable trays, and its ”avor pro“le makes it a natural with “sh (a swipe toward the end of cooking does the trick). Warmed up, the cheddar-mustard version can be a dip for soft pretzels. They both encourage experimenting, and say so right on the package: Because the dip is plucky, but so are you.ŽSour powerBest friends find success with popular pickle dip GLEN STUBBE/MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE/TNSSara Doherty and Britt Jungerberg are co-founders of Plucky Pickle Dip,Keslings curved walls and ocean liner details. The main house is so distinctive,Ž Rivas says. I think its much better to contrast it than try to match it.Ž In an ideal world, one home would be able to accommodate multiple families, but thats not always possible. Tang says one of the hardest things about moving to L.A. was leaving family. Now, the ADU allows everyone to stay close. About a third of our customers have put them in for their family members to live in full-time,Ž says Rivas, who lived in one of Covers 450-square-foot ADUs for a year. Tang and Laskow also have a lot of friends from New York who come to stay in the ADU, which is in use every month. Our friends from New York always say, Wow, this is so big. This ADU would be a covetable apartment in New York,Ž says Laskow, 35, who heads transportation at online resale site the RealReal.

Why is this happening, and how can I improve my posture? „ Sandy R., Houston Good posture „ shoulders back, neck straight and chin up, core tight and pelvis aligned „ is more than a cosmetic issue. When you become concave, you congest your internal organs and inhibit breathing, trigger neck pain and headaches, make it dif“cult to walk smoothly and increase your risk of falling. According to Harvard Medical School, such problems can develop because of your work and lifestyle: Hours spent staring at your smartphone, slouching on the couch or typing on a computer make it hard not to curve your shoulders inward. Heavy lifting and demanding physical work can also weaken your shoulders and damage posture. You overstretch your muscles along the back of your shoulders and weaken the ones in front. Lack of core muscle strength from obesity, hours sitting daily, and lack of strength-training also cause poor posture. In some cases, osteoporosis can cause compression fractures that lead to slumping. An orthopedic doctor can determine the cause of your poor posture. For most folks, it's possible to make signi“cant improvements. Begin with core-strengthening exercises. The Cleveland Clinic recommends abdominal bracing, clamshells, and bridges for beginners. Then explore more demanding routines at health.clevelandclinic. org; search for "workouts to strengthen your core." Also important: stretching your chest muscles. You can do that using a doorframe or extending your arms behind your back and grasping your forearms or elbows. Hold for 10 seconds, repeat. Also practice squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 30 (keep your head up, eyes straightforward). And do inspiratory resistance exercises recommended at LongevityPlaybook.com. Those exercises target what may be the most important muscle in your body to strengthen, your diaphragm. You should be able to see improvements in your posture and your comfort level. Q: My mother had Alzheimer's, and I am worried I might develop it. I am 64 and no signs yet! Is there any chance that they will “gure out how to prevent or treat it someday soon? „ Rachel U., Portland, Oregon Pinpointing the cause of Alzheimer's disease „ and “guring out how to prevent or treat it „ has frustrated researchers for decades. But recently the Food and Drug Administration approved two new therapies for treating early-stage symptoms of AD. Aduhelm was OK'd in 2021, and Leqembi was put on the market this year. As for your risk of developing AD: There are two categories of genes that may make AD a familial problem „ risk genes and deterministic genes. Fewer than 1% of Alzheimer's cases are caused by deterministic genes „ so, generally, it is not inevitable. A more powerful connection is with lifestyle choices. In the LongevityPlaybook.com app, there are 33 self-care choices, from regularly taking half a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil to maintaining your hearing acuity, that studies have shown to decrease your risk of dementia. Reader wonders how to improve their posture DEAR READERS: Plastic containers are so useful for storing everything in a refrigerator, but they can retain a smell. To get rid of it, “ll the containers with half household vinegar and half water. Soak overnight. Then, rinse well with hot, soapy water and air-dry. Store containers with the lids off to prevent a musty smell from occurring. „ Heloise DEAR READERS: You can make your own beauty products that can be effective, such as with honey. First, clean and steam your face. Apply honey over it and leave this on for 2 to 3 minutes. Then remove with a warm, wet washcloth. Honey facials work great and clean out pores. „ Heloise DEAR HELOISE: I've found a less messy way to grease cookie sheets and pans. Place a quart-size storage bag over your hand and scoop up your desired amount of shortening. Apply to surface that will be used for baking. When “nished, remove the bag and discard. No more messy cleanup or greasy hands! Thanks for considering this tip for publication. I read your column every day! „ Linda Whitenton, via email DEAR READERS: Try these lowtech ways to get rid of dust on mini blinds in your house. Buy and use a new 2-inch paintbrush to wipe the blinds clean. Or, put clean socks on your hand to wipe off the dust. You could also grab a micro“ber cloth. „ Heloise DEAR HELOISE: I like to look for low-salt ways to add ”avor to foods. I cannot use most bouillon, as well as soups, sauces, ”avorings, etc. All have sodium that causes headaches and stomach upset for me. I am constantly searching for ways to avoid this problem.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 PAGE 5F DEAR ABBY: I am in a committed relationship with a wonderful man. We are not married, but we call each other husband and wife and have two beautiful children together. Our relationship is great. My husband had a different childhood than mine. He didn't have many friends of the opposite sex. I, on the other hand, had a lot of guy friends growing up. I cherish many of these platonic relationships. There is a lot of history with them (some more than 20 years), and I enjoy their company greatly. We don't have any romantic histories. I don't hang out with them often because I know my husband would be upset if I were to see another man oneon-one, even just as friends. I understand his point of view. I know I might be jealous if he were to hang out one-on-one with another woman, and I would wonder. I guess we both have trust issues. There are some hobbies I would like to engage in, and a few of these guy friends have expressed interest in joining me on occasion. One of those activities is metal detecting. I have the two kids in tow most times and would need help digging. Even without the kids, I don't think it would be as much fun doing this by myself. My husband would join me if he weren't so tired from his 12-hour workday and getting up at 4 a.m. I am going stir-crazy with the kids, and I need an outlet. This is something that excites me, as it will get me outdoors, and is steeped in local history. These men are some of my best friends and we would never fool around, but I'm afraid my husband won't understand. Is there any hope? „ TreasureBlocked in New Jersey DEAR TREASUREBLOCKED: If this is going to happen, you and your husband “rst need to resolve your trust and insecurity issues. There's hope if you discuss this thoroughly with him and he trusts you enough that it won't excite his insecurities. (The same would be true if the situation were reversed.) He needs to know that when you do this, he is always invited. Have you asked any of your women friends if they might “nd your hobby to be of interest? It is possible one or more of them would welcome the break, too. DEAR ABBY: I'm a single, retired woman on a “xed budget. I love to cook and entertain. I would do it more often if several of my friends didn't routinely consume four to six bottles of wine collectively at dinner (at least one bottle per person, plus other drinks). I can't afford to spend $100 or more on alcohol, but I'm embarrassed to ask them to bring their own beverages, as no one else in the group does it. Any suggestions for how to handle this without offending them or breaking my budget? „ Grateful for Advice DEAR GRATEFUL: You are not obligated to go broke paying for your friends' overindulgence. Because you are entertaining in your own home, tell them what you have on hand, what you plan to serve and, if they need more, they should bring it with them.

Feeling fitJULY 9, 2023YOURSUN.COMIS IT OKAY TO JUST SNACK INSTEAD OF EATING FULL MEALS? PAGE 7F SUN Charlotte€DeSoto€Sarasota THE CONVERSATION By MONICA DUSTHE CONVERSATIONHave you ever wondered why only hummingbirds sip nectar from feeders? Unlike sparr ows, “ nches and most other birds, hummingbirds can taste sweetness because they carry the genetic instructions necessary to detect sugar molecules. Like hummingbirds, we humans can sense sugar because our DNA contains gene sequences coding for the molecular detectors that allow us to detect sweetness. But it is more complex than that. Our ability to sense sweetness, as well as other tastes, involves a delicate dance between our genetic makeup and the foods we encounter from the womb to the dinner table. Neuroscientists like me are working to decipher how this intricate interplay between genes and diet shapes taste. In my laboratory at the University of Michigan, we are diving deeply into one speci“ c aspect, which is how consuming too much sugar dulls the sense of sweetness. Taste is so central to our eating habits that understanding how genes and the environment shape it has crucial implications for nutrition, food science and disease prevention. ROLE OF GENES IN SENSING TASTE As with hummingbirds, the human ability to discern what food tastes like depends on the presence of taste receptors. These molecular detectors are found on the sensory cells, which are housed inside the taste buds, the sensory organs on the surface of the tongue. The interactions between taste receptors and food molecules give rise to the “ ve basic taste qualities: sweetness, savoriness, bitterness, saltiness and sourness, which are transmitted from the mouth to the brain via speci“ c nerves. For instance, when sugar binds to the sweet receptor, it signals sweetness. Our innate preference for the taste of some foods over others is rooted in how the tongue and the brain became wired during our evolutionary history. Taste qualities signaling the presence of essential nutrients and energy, like salt and sugar, send information to brain areas linked to pleasure. Conversely, tastes that alert us to potentially harmful substances, such as the bitterness of certain toxins, are connected to those that make us feel discomfort or pain. While the presence of genes encoding for functional taste receptors in our DNA allows us to detect food molecules, how we respond to these also depends on the unique combination of taste genes we carry. Like ice cream, genes, including those for taste receptors, come in di erent ” avors. Take, for instance, a taste receptor for bitterness called TAS2R38. Scientists found small changes in the genetic code for the TAS2R38 gene among di erent people. These genetic variants a ect how people perceive the bitterness of vegetables, berries and wine. Follow-up studies have suggested a link between those same variants and food choice, particularly with respect to vegetable and alcohol consumption. Many more variants exist in our gene repertoire, including those for the sweet taste receptor. However, whether and how these genetic di erences a ect our taste and eating habits is still being worked out. What is certain is that while genetics lays the groundwork for taste sensations and preferences, experiences with food can profoundly reshape them. HOW DIET INFLUENCES TASTE Many of our innate sensations and preferences are molded by our early experiences with food, sometimes before were even born. Some molecules from the mothers diet, like garlic or carrots, reach the fetuss developing taste buds via the amniotic ” uid and can a ect the appreciation of these foods after birth. Infant formula can also in” uence food preferences later on. For example, research shows that infants fed with formulas that are not based on cows milk … which are more bitter and sour because of their amino acid content … are more accepting of bitter, sour and savory foods such as vegetables after weaning than those who consume cow milk-based formula. And toddlers who drink sweetened water strongly prefer sweet beverages as early as age 2. The e ect of food on our taste predispositions doesnt stop in early life: What we eat as adults, especial-ly our sugar and salt intake, can also shape how we perceive and potentially choose food. Cutting down on sodium in our diet decreases our preferred level of saltiness, whereas consuming more makes us like saltier foods. Something similar occurs with sugar: Reduce sugar in your diet and you may “ nd food sweeter. Conversely, as research in rats and ” ies suggests, high sugar levels may dull your sensation of sweetness. Although we researchers are still working out the exact how and why, studies show that high sugar and fat intake in animal models dampens the responsiveness of taste cells and nerves to sugars, modi“ es the number of taste cells available and even ” ips genetic switches in the taste cells DNA. In my lab, weve shown that these taste alterations in rats return to normal within weeks when the extra sugar is removed from the diet. ILLNESS CAN INFLUENCE TASTE Genetics and food arent the only factors that a ect taste. As many of us discovered during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, disease can also play a role. After testing positive for COVID-19, I couldnt tell the di erence between sweet, bitter and sour foods for months. Researchers have found that about 40% of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience impairment in taste and smell. In about 5% of those people, these taste de“ cits persist for months and years. Although researchers dont understand what causes these sensory alterations, the leading hypothesis is that the virus infects the cells that support the taste and smell receptors. TRAINING TASTE BUDS By shaping our eating habits, the intricate dance between genes, diet, disease and taste can a ect the risk for chronic diseases. Beyond distinguishing food from toxins, the brain uses taste signals as a proxy to estimate the “ lling power of foods. In nature, the stronger a food tastes „ in terms of sweetness or saltiness „ is directly connected to its nutrient levels and calorie content. For example, a mango contains “ ve times the amount of sugar than a cup of strawberries, and this is why it tastes sweeter and is more “ lling. Thus, taste is important not just for food enjoyment and choice, but also for regulating food intake. When taste is altered by diet or disease, sensory and nutrient information could become decoupledŽ and no longer provide accurate information to our brains about portion size. Research shows this may also occur with consumption of arti“ cial sweeteners. And indeed, in recent studies in invertebrate animal models, our lab discovered that the changes in taste caused by high dietary sugar intake drove higher eating by impairing these food predictions . Not ably, many of the eating patterns and brain changes we observed in ” ies have also been discovered in people who ate foods high in sugar or fat or who had high body-mass index. This raises the question of whether these e ects also arise from taste and sensory alterations in our brains. But there is a silver lining to the adaptable nature of taste. Since diet shapes our senses, we can actually train our taste buds „ and our brains „ to respond and prefer foods with lower quantities of sugar and salt. Interestingly, many people already say that they “ nd foods overly sweet, which may not be surprising since between 60% to 70% of grocery store foods contain added sugar. Reformulating foods tailored to our genes and the plasticity of our taste buds could be a practical and powerful tool to enhance nutrition, promote health and decrease the burden of chronic disease. Monica Dus is an Associate Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at University of Michigan. The story originally was published on The Conversation.ŽCan we train our taste buds for better health ?A neuroscientist explains how genes and diet shape taste POZNYAKOV/SHUTTERSTOCKSince diet shapes our senses, we can actually train our taste buds „ and our brains „ to respond and prefer foods with lower quantities of sugar and salt.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 PAGE 7F MAYO CLINIC NEWS NETWORKDEAR MAYO CLINIC: During warm weather months, I “nd myself eating less formal meals and, instead, reaching for more snacks. I also tend to exercise less when its hot outside. Do you have advice on how to ensure Im snacking healthfully as I realize the potential to overeat and not be as active? ANSWER: Regardless of the time of year, maintaining healthy habits is important for good health. This includes exercise, eating a balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight. When snacking is done correctly, it can give you a boost of energy between meals, help meet nutrient needs for the day and help keep hunger at bay to prevent overeating at the next meal. And managing your hunger can help you maintain a healthy weight and reach weight-loss goals. Consider these snacking tips to keep you feeling good as you adjust your eating schedule: Plan your snacks. What do you like to eat? Make a list of various nutrient-rich foods that would work as a snack. Focus on incorporating whole foods, whole grains and low-fat dairy products. Whole fruit or vegetables, air-popped popcorn, fat-free or low-fat yogurt, and nut mixes are all great options. Stay away from packaged items high in calories, fat and sodium, such as chips, candy or cookies. Prepare your snacks properly. Package snack items into more convenient serving sized portions. Consider purchasing single-serve containers or preparing small servings of snacks in advance. Eating out of a package often can lead to mindless eating and result in eating more than intended. Also, it will make it easier if you take lunch to work, for instance, to help lessen the temptation of less-healthy options, such as from a vending machine. Make healthy snacks easily accessible. Put fruits and vegetables in easily accessible locations, such as the front of your fridge or counter, which will stop you from reaching for unhealthy foods when youre hungry. Throw a bag of dried fruit or other snacks in your purse, pocket or backpack to take with you out of the house. This will help you avoid buying unhealthy snacks. Pay attention to protein. Combine it with snacks to make a more satisfying meal. To ensure you are being ful“lled, combine carbohydrates, protein and fat for long-lasting, satisfying snacks. Aim for snacks to be less than 200 calories. Good sources of protein include hardboiled eggs, pouches of seasoned tuna, cheese sticks, cottage cheese, yogurt with no added sugar, or soups made with lots of vegetables and legumes. A healthy go-to snack could be apple slices or baby carrots dipped in small amounts of peanut butter or almond butter and sprinkled with cinnamon. Eat when you are hungry „ not bored. In general, a person will be hungry three to four hours after a meal. But having snacks around can lead to overeating. When you feel hunger setting in, be sure to ask yourself, Am I physically hungry, or am I mind hungry „bored, stressed or frustrated?Ž before you grab for a snack. If you “nd you are, in fact, experiencing physical hunger, its time to grab a “lling, satisfying snack. If you realize you were reaching for a snack because of mind hunger, feed the urge by doing another activity, such as going for a walk, talking with a friend on the phone, playing a game or meditating. Review your fridge and pantry. While stocking up on healthy food choices, take time to also purge unhealthier options from your home. Remove foods that you know will tempt you. Be aware of your weight. If youre concerned about gaining weight, track your intake of snacks. There are several apps you can use to track your eating and exercise routines. Women need 10 calories per pound per day to maintain their weight, and men need 11 calories per pound per day. Keep track of what and how much you eat, and build in enough exercise so you can control weight gain.

PAGE 8F SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By ANGELA ROBERTSTHE BALTIMORE SUNCharlene MacPherson remembers the precise moment she fell in love with the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. She was a freshman at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, with only a vague idea of what she wanted to do after college. It was her “rst time playing. Her friend from the schools nerd-dominated fencing team was the dungeon master, a role somewhere between a narrator, an omniscient team captain and a god. Someone rolled a 1, traditionally the worst possible score on the games iconic 20-sided die, and everyone groaned. But instead of saying the player dropped their sword when they meant to cut a magical tablet in half, the dungeon master said they accidentally stabbed a goblin and would have to spend the entirety of their next turn trying to shake the goblins body o their sword. I was like, Oh, my God, thats so funny!Ž MacPherson said. MacPhersons love of the geeky adventure game has only grown over the years. But now, she appreciates it for more than the goo“ness it can inspire. As a licensed clinical social worker, shes been using the tabletop game since 2019 to provide group and individual therapy to autistic people, as well as people with depression, anxiety and other mental health diagnoses. Through her work as a certi“ed therapeutic game master based in Linthicum, Maryland, MacPherson has watched her clients learn how to set “rm boundaries, make healthy friendships, voice their opinions and celebrate what makes them dierent „ all in an accepting fantasy world where mistakes dont have scary consequences. A big part of the magic of Dungeons & Dragons, and why its so eective as a framework for group therapy, is that it provides a safe space where people can test out social skills and other strategies they learn in individual therapy without fear of being judged, mocked or rejected, MacPherson said. SETTING BOUNDARIES For example, MacPherson said, she may assign the character of a grumpy dwarf to someone who struggles to set healthy boundaries. Theyre playing this grumpy dwarf who says, No, all the time and everybodys laughing and having a good time,Ž MacPherson said. Then, the client gets to see, Oh. When you set boundaries, its not dangerous all the time.Ž MacPherson is still only one of a handful of mental health providers around the world who use Dungeons & Dragons „ “rst published in 1974 „ to provide therapy, but their numbers are growing. At least two U.S. organizations „ Geek Therapeutics and Game to Grow „ train therapists how to use D&D and other tabletop games in their practice. Geek Therapeutics, based in Fort Worth, Texas, has certi“ed more than 400 mental health providers as therapeutic game masters, said Anthony Bean, the companys founder and a licensed clinical psychologist. Game to Grow also has trained hundreds of therapists „ including MacPherson „ in its methodology, said Adam Davis, the Seattle-based nonpro“ts co-founder and executive director. People have been using stories to connect and grow since we crawled out of the ooze,Ž Davis said. The idea of using tabletop role-playing games for insight, growth and change „ as new as it is, its also very, very old.Ž Megan Connell, a licensed clinical psychologist based in North Carolina, recently released a guide for therapists who use Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing games as part of their practice. Having clients work on skills in the context of a game where theyre playing a character alleviates some of the awkwardness they may feel acting out scenarios as themselves, Connell said. When were role-playing a character, we have this freedom to try things,Ž Connell said. And if things go badly, well that wasnt me, that was my character.Ž Many of MacPhersons neurodiverse clients grew up being shamed for their style of communication and atypical problem-solving skills. Having a fantasy world where creative thinking isnt just accepted, but encouraged, can help heal old wounds, MacPherson said. Like 90% of my job as a therapist, honestly, is to get people to stop beating themselves up in their heads „ the shame, the blame, all of it,Ž she said. It makes everything worse.ŽGrumpy dwarves and 20-sided diceTherapist uses Dungeons & Dragons to model self-acceptance AMY DAVIS/THE BALTIMORE SUN/TNSCharlene MacPherson, a therapist in Linthicum, Maryland, uses role-playing games to help clients work on their mental health.At least two U.S. organizations „ Geek Therapeutics and Game to Grow „ train therapists how to use D&D and other tabletop games in their practice. When were role-playing a character, we have this freedom to try things.

Closely follow these changing figures to see when the time is right to buy „ and remember that your individual rate can also be impacted by personal spending habits and debt. HOW RATES WORKRates are artificially higher now, but could lower as the economy improves. If they go down a percentage point, your mortgage can in turn be nearly 10% less per month. The bill for those paying 4% interest on a $250,000 home is $1,431, according to Opendoor.com. At 3%, the payment would be $1,297 „ a change of $134. Monthly savings like these can help pay down other debt or quickly increase your savings. Lower interest rates also allow potential home buyers to afford a larger, more expensive property without adding to their mortgage payment.CAN YOU AFFORD IT?It can be difficult to determine how much you can afford because of the complicated math of purchase price, property taxes and the possibility of private mortgage insurance. Affordability calculators like those provided by NerdWallet.com offer a ballpark estimate to get the ball rolling. They also typically allow customizations like property taxes and homeowners insurance. Youll have to enter your monthly income, down payment amount, other debts and the interest rate. Just remember that these calculators provide only an estimate „ and their accuracy depends on accurate and complete input details. That may require some research into local market taxes and insurance premiums. SMART CHOICESSo, interest rates have gone down and you have a pre-approval from the bank. That isnt a blank check, since youll only be cleared to borrow up to a certain amount. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau also reminds buyers that lending institutions dont factor in other related expenditures „ including the cost of maintenance, repairs and appliances. You might be approved to purchase a second home, but that doesnt factor in travel to get there or specific insurance concerns. Lenders also cant account for market changes, should you sign an adjustable-rate mortgage. So look at the larger financial picture before you buy, making sure your potential mortgage leaves plenty of room for other expenses. Take into account longer-range goals too, like saving for your childrens college expenses or for your retirement. © ADOBE STOCK Changing MarketsThe past few years have been a topsy-turvy rollercoaster ride for anyone in the housing market, whether youre a buyer or a seller. Years after the advent of COVID-19, things can still seem quite unsettled. Make sense of the market here: bitly.ws/BBYp. REAL ESTATE 101

Professional ReferencesMany jobs require you to provide references, which is why youll want to have them lined up before you start job hunting. Be prepared with a list of references who will speak glowingly of you. CHOOSING REFERENCESThe Harvard Business Review recommends that you create a list of colleagues who could provide you with good references. They suggest that the list include current and former supervisors, managers, co-workers and subordinates. Others suggest including vendors you have worked closely with, clients or customers. Consider managers who have given you strong, positive employee evaluations, coworkers who have thanked you for your help on projects and people who have successfully worked for you.CONTACT YOUR REFERENCESBefore you provide a name as a reference, contact the person and let them know you are doing so. Ask their permission to use them as a reference „ dont assume that they are willing to. Giving a reference a heads up lets them prepare for the call and think about what they are going to say about you. Contacting them allows you to do several things. First, you can ask for updated contact information„an essential step in the process. You can also let them know what job you are applying for and why you want it. If they are open to it, provide coaching on what you would like them to highlight. This could be a good time to mention your strengths, projects youve worked on together and what your professional aptitudes are. Consider providing your reference with documentation that might help them such as a copy of your resume, a copy of the job posting that you are applying for and relevant portfolio samples. This is also a good opportunity to let your colleagues know you are searching for work. They may be able to provide you with additional leads. FIND OUT WHAT THE HIRING MANAGER IS LOOKING FORIf you are being asked for references after an interview or as part of a pre-interview process, ask the hiring manager what specifically he or she is looking for. This can help you determine which reference is the best fit. Do they want to know about your leadership skills? Then provide them with someone who has worked for you. Do they want to know about your reliability? Provide them with a current or past supervisor. Do they want to know about your team-work ability? Provide them with the name of a co-worker.PROTECTING YOUR CURRENT JOBIf you are currently employed and dont want your organization to know that you are looking for another job, let the hiring manager know this. Its a common situation and likely to be understood. It can explain why you dont have any references from your current employer. You can offer to provide references at your current company once a job offer is made. Also, if the hiring manager asks for a reference from your current supervisor and you think that person might give you a negative reference, be upfront about that. Tell the hiring manager that they are likely to get a negative reference and explain why in as positive and professional a manner as possible. © ADOBE STOCK

FSRJNNLY LOS ANGELES TIMES DAILY CROSSWORD EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE NICHOLS LEWIS GOREN BRIDGE WITH BOB JONES© 2023 Tribune Content Agency, LLCDEAR ABBY: I married a wonderful, thoughtful man 30 years ago. His family accepted me and were very kind, with the exception of his mother. She hardly looked at or talked to me. If she did talk to me, it was about her being too young to be a grandmother (I had three children from a previous marriage; he had never married or had children). She also would regale me with stories about how my husband got in trouble during his youth (he was a good boy, in my opinion). So now we come to the present. Our two children and I have been gossiped about, treated like servants when we are with her and demeaned when spoken to, and my mother-in-law constantly tries to talk alone with my husband. Im sure shes trying to split us apart. Her abuse has separated me from his extended family. Recently, I told my husband I am no longer visiting her because it has caused too much anxiety and depression. He is not supporting me out of fear of what she might do to him. Please advise, Abby. „ Sick of It in Virginia DEAR SICK: Unless there is money involved, your husband may have been conditioned from childhood to fear his mother. Its very sad. Maintain a relationship with your husbands siblings if you can, but stand your ground when it comes to being forced to visit your MIL. I see no reason why you should be obligated to be in the company of anyone who is rude, demanding and abusive of you or your children. DEAR ABBY: I have been struggling with my estrangement from my brother. Hes the only real family member I have. We were extremely close until three years ago. To my knowledge, I have done nothing wrong. He quit speaking to me after I bought some property he may have been interested in. We are both in our mid-20s, and he has since gotten married and had two children. Being excluded from his life hurts me deeply. Must I accept that this is how our relationship will be forever? „ Dejected in Illinois DEAR DEJECTED: If there is one life lesson I have learned, it is that interpersonal problems cannot be solved without communication. Because your brothers chosen method of dealing with disappointment or con”ict is to give the person the silent treatment, you will have to accept it and move on from there. However, because his behavior extends into the workplace, discuss this with your employer. Your brother appears to be doing his best to create a hostile work environment, and that, my friend, is against the law. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend refuses to be intimate with me because he feels it would be unfaithful to his ex-wife. What can I do? „ Sad in Ohio DEAR SAD: There is nothing you can do. Because you described him as having an ex-wife,Ž I will assume your boyfriend is legally divorced. If the reason he gave you for the lack of intimacy is true, then hes not only physically but emotionally unavailable, and you should move on. Mother-in-laws behavior is creating unwanted drama DEAR ABBYAdvice Columnist CRYPTOGRAMS JANRIC CLASSIC SUDOKU Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9.

PAGE 10 SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 | The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). Youve a gift for thinking far, far into the future. You can paint a mental picture and really put yourself there. As you dwell in the imaginative experience, you are building a pathway to it. This can be real. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). Sometimes, what you think is a punishment is actually a reward, and vice versa. Assume all is conspiring to delight you, even when it doesnt seem that way. You really are getting just what you need. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). Youll experience the fullness of human nature today with interactions that are friendly, rushed, confusing, exhilarating, frustrating and more. Youre at your best when youre helping people into a better state of mind. CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). Youll hold back your opinions, stories and advice because you sense theres something you need to learn by listening more, speaking less. The inclination will allow you to tune in to others and glean valuable information from the nuances. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). For every action there is a reaction, though some outcomes take a very long time to realize. You will now experience the result of something you did many years ago. Youll follow intuitive nudges into something sweet. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). For someone to appreciate what you do, he or she will have to experience it. This is one reason to delegate a job to someone who is not really quali“ed to do it but who nonetheless should have the experience of trying. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). People who cant organize their own thoughts wont be able to lead others in any organized way. Youll save a lot of time by following strong leaders or becoming one. Seek clarity and you will “nd it. SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). The message in your heart feels important, urgent and somewhat formless. Maybe its more of a feeling than a sentence. Think of a way to convey it nonverbally. Its most potent communication will be wordless. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). It is typical human nature to try and run from the very discomfort that oers the most bene“t. Escape is an unhelpful habit. Stick with the feelings instead. Give yourself a chance to “gure them out. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). You want to know youre liked for who you are, not for what you can do for people. Because of this, you may hold back a bit. Its your way of testing people. Youll learn all you need to know. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). Comfort zones are magnetic. Youll step away and still feel the pull, which is why there is a natural tendency to return to familiar realms. The trick to making a change is to keep going until youre beyond the “eld. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). Theres a symmetry to the things you tackle today. If you start out well, you will likely end well, too. The trick is not to start anything halfheartedly. Go where your interest is strong. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (JULY 9). Youve been adaptable in the past, but this year is dierent. Instead of cleverly joining in, youll “rst become who you want to be and then let the world form to you „ an approach that nets brilliant results. Others are fascinated by your dynamic and ever-changing nature, evident in your continuous improvements and transformations. Taurus and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6 , 30 , 12 , 4 and 19. HOROSCOPEDEAR HELOISE: I recently saw a hint from Laura M., in Can“eld, Ohio, about containers. I would like to go one step further. I save little containers for a local kids museum. This includes empty cardboard paper rolls, pill bottles, small candy containers, etc. I also save all the greeting cards that I receive, cut out any identifying information and include them in my donations. If there isnt a museum near you, perhaps your local school or summer childrens camp would appreciate them. They all like to do little crafts. I also get unrequested gifts in the mail. I cant donate everywhere, but I dont like to throw things away. So, I save them and give them to a local nursing home. „ Tracy M., Torrington, Connecticut DEAR READERS: Getting lipstick on your towels happens so often and looks terrible on your towels. But you can remove the lipstick. Heres how: Try to remove it as fast as you can by taking these steps. First, pour rubbing alcohol (70% to 90%) on a paper towel and place it down on a nonporous surface. Then, place the bath towel on the top with the lipstick stain down. Pour rubbing alcohol onto a second paper towel and press on the lipstick stain so that it transfers to the “rst paper towel. Keep pressing until the stain has disappeared. Repeat, if necessary. Then, wash as usual. „ Heloise DEAR HELOISE: A reader thought graham crackers and vanilla wafers were too sweet and substituted other crackers for pie crusts. Years ago, I started omitting sugar or putting in less than half of the amount in recipes. This was a hint from my mother-in-law, who thought sugar was poison. I havent noticed any failures in the things Ive made. However, I dont bake cakes or things that call for a lot of sugar. „ Carolyn McDonough, via email DEAR HELOISE: My family members like plain and chocolatechip pancakes; I am the only one who prefers blueberry. So, my solution is to put some blueberries on a plate and heat them in the microwave until they are warm and soft (as they would be inside a pancake). Then, I serve myself plain pancakes and put the berries on top. This gives me my blueberry pancakes without taking time to make an additional batch or clean the griddle between ”avors. I also get more berries this way! „ S.M., in Virginia DEAR HELOISE: My husband hangs his ball caps on the inside wall of our covered patio. We were surprised to watch a house wren build her nest inside, twig by twig. After the eggs hatched, we watched the mother (and others) feed the babies. Then one day, a ”urry of activity was followed by the departure of all the new babies. A wonder to behold! „ B.M., San AntonioDonating craft supplies to childrens camps and museums HINTS FROM HELOISEAdvice Columnist KEN KEN THE LOGIC PUZZLE THAT MAKES YOU SMARTER must contain the numbers 1 through 4 (easy) or 1 through 6 (challenging) without repeating. heavily outlined boxes, called cages, must combine using the given operation (in any order) to produce the target numbers in the top-left corners. cages with the number in the top-left corner.©2023 KenKen Puzzle LLC www.kenken.comKenKen is a registered trademark of KenKen Puzzle LLC. ©2023 KenKen Puzzle LLC.

John Westwig is a software engineer in Seattle. He got into crosswords when he was very young, solving Games magazine on car trips with his family. Constructing came soon after. He sold his first puzzle to The Times in 2015, when he was 17. This is his eighth (and first Sunday). Lots of friends do the Times puzzle, he writes, but most complain that mine are too hard. „ W.S. Name That CompanyI trace my roots back to my 1985 founding as the Rock Financial mortgage company. I simplified the home loan process in 1996 with my Mortgage in a BoxŽ application. I was bought by Intuit in 1999 and renamed Quicken Loans „ but became independent again in 2003. Meanwhile, in 2002, I debuted the first fully electronic mortgage application process. Today, based in Detroit and with a recent market value topping $17 billion, Im the top originator of Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages. Im also involved in personal loans, auto loans, home sales and solar energy. Who am I?Think you know the answer? Well announce it in next weeks edition. ment of operations). Ideally it should be growing overall sales by adding more stores, and also by increasing its same-storeŽ sales from established stores „ generally those that have been open at least a year. While sales reflect a companys top line „ how much money it has taken in „ net income or earnings per share (EPS) reflects how much of that it keeps as profit. The percentage it keeps as profit is its profit margin. Favor companies that are profitable, but dont rule out a company just because of a low profit margin „ some companies make up for that via high volume. (You could sell two pianos a year with a 30% profit margin, but it would be much better to generate millions of dollars of sales with a 2% profit margin.) On the balance sheet, check inventory and debt levels. High or rising inventory levels could lead to markdowns, and if inventory levels are growing faster than sales, thats a red flag. High or rising debt is also a concern. You can find more factors to examine with a little searching on how to invest inŽ or evaluatingŽ retail stocks.The Motley Fool TakeAn Underestimated AutomakerFord Motor Company (NYSE: F) is a misunderstood business. Investors appear to be simultaneously undervaluing its highly profitable gasoline-powered businesses and dismissing its tantalizing potential in electric vehicles (EVs). Fords traditional auto business, Ford Blue, generated $25.1 billion in revenue and $2.6 billion in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the first quarter alone. Its commercial fleet operation, Ford Pro, is also a cash generator, producing EBIT of $1.4 billion on revenue of $13.2 billion. The profitability of both businesses could continue to strengthen thanks to cost-reduction initiatives at Ford Blue and a greater focus on software offerings at Ford Pro. Meanwhile, Ford is gearing up to aggressively scale its electric vehicle (EV) operations. The auto titan is targeting 600,000 EV sales per year by the end of 2023 and 2 million by the end of 2026, up from fewer than 62,000 in 2022. These efforts wont come cheap, and Ford expects to lose about $3 billion on EVs in 2023. But management is laserfocused on slashing its costs „ and the price of EVs. Ford also reached an agreement with Tesla to give its customers access to over 12,000 Tesla Superchargers in the U.S. and Canada. Ford believes its Model E division can achieve an EBIT profit margin of approximately 8% by the end of 2026. If it can do so, EVs will go from a source of losses to a powerful profit driver in the coming years. Ask the Fool My Dumbest InvestmentFace Palm!My most regrettable investment move was buying shares of Facebook at around $18 per share when the stock dipped after its IPO „ and then selling them soon after at $27. I never thought it could ever become what it has become. „ B.J., online The Fool Responds: At least you netted a 50% gain. Investing in initial public offerings (IPOs) can be risky. Shares of Facebook (now known as Meta Platforms) dropped after debuting on the public market, as many IPO stocks do. Some debut at higher-thanplanned prices due to breathless demand or are bid up in their first few days, only to fall back to more r easonable levels when enthusiasm wanes. Some post-IPO drops can be severe: After going public, Ubers stock spent a year and a half below its IPO price before briefly surpassing it, and it moved back under the offering price throughout 2022 and the first half of 2023. But remember that Facebook had its IPO way back in 2012, when it had around a billion active users each month. It wouldnt have been unreasonable to doubt that it could attract many more. In such situations, if youre on the fence, you might sell only a portion of your shares and hang on to the others. After all, blockbuster stock gains generally happen when you hang on to terrific growers for many years, if not decades. Setting Realistic ExpectationsQIve only been investing for a few years, and my average annual return is 18%. I dont think thats going to last; what kind of average gain should I expect over, say, a decade? „ G.C., Keene, New HampshireAThats very hard to predict. If you invest primarily in index funds that track the broad market, such as an S&P 500 index fund, you can expect to earn roughly the same return as the index, less any fees. (The best index funds have miniscule fees.) Over many decades, the S&P 500 has averaged annual gains of close to 10%, but over your particular investment period, the average might be higher or lower. You might outperform the stock markets average handily if you invest in some individual stocks or mutual funds that perform very well „ but thats far from guaranteed and, arguably, unlikely. The vast majority of actively managed stock funds, for example, underperform their benchmark indexes. And plenty of bluechip stocks „ such as Boeing, ExxonMobil, Procter & Gamble and Walmart „ have underperformed the S&P 500 over the past decade. Superinvestor Warren Buffett recommends that most people invest via low-cost, broadmarket index funds. ***QDo any index funds focus on stocks outside the U.S? „ O.L., Madison, MississippiAYup! Many major mutual fund companies offer a wide range of index funds. At Vanguard, for example, the Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (ticker symbol: VXUS) covers the world market except for U.S. stocks. The Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) focuses on developing economies, which can be riskier but grow rapidly. Among many others, youll find the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK), the Vanguard FTSE Pacific ETF (VPL) and the Vanguard Total International Bond ETF (BNDX).Want more information about stocks?

For example, retailers are relatively uncomplicated. Here are some tips for investing in retail companies. Spend some time at stores of interest, observing: Are they full and busy? Are the shelves well-stocked? Are shoppers buying a lot? At shopping malls, see what brands people are wearing and where theyre shopping. Note which stores bags show up most often in shoppers hands. Once you have a few promising retailers, look up their financial reports online to see how healthy and growing they really are. (You could also start with this step and do on-the-ground research later.) Most major companies websites have an investorsŽ section, offering financial reports, presentations and more.

NATIONAL NEWS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 | 1FELIPE DANAAssociated PressUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy marked the 500th day of the war Saturday by hailing the countrys soldiers in a video from a Black Sea island that became the symbol of Ukraines resilience in the face of the Russian invasion.Speaking from Snake Island, Zelenskyy honored the Ukrainian soldiers who fought for the island and all other defenders of the country, saying that reclaiming control of the island is a great proof that Ukraine will regain every bit of its territory.Ž I want to thank „ from here, from this place of victory „ each of our soldiers for these 500 days,Ž Zelenskyy said. Thank you to everyone who fights for Ukraine!Ž It was unclear when the video was filmed. Zelenskyy was returning from Turkey on Saturday. He announced that five commanders of the defense of the Azovstal steel plant, a grueling months-long siege early in the war, were returning on the plane with him. The sprawling steelworks was the last bastion of resistance as Russian forces took control of the port city of Mariupol. Its defenders became renowned among Ukrainians for holding out in wretched conditions in the plants tunnels and corridors. Azovstals more than 2,000 defenders left the steelworks in mid-May 2022 and were taken into Russian captivity. The five leaders, some of whom were part of the Azov national guard regiment that Russia denounces as neo-Nazi, were freed in a September prisoner swap and taken to Turkey. Under the exchange, the leaders were to remain in Turkey until the end of the war under the Turkish presidents protection. There was no immediate official explanation from Ankara or Kyiv about why they were allowed to return to Ukraine. The return of the leaders of the Azovites from Turkey to Ukraine is nothing more than a direct violation of the terms of the existing agreements. Moreover, in this case, the terms were violated by both the Ukrainian side and the Turkish side,Ž said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Russian forces took control of Snake Island on Feb. 24, 2022, the day Moscow launched its invasion, in the apparent hope of using it as a staging ground for an assault on Odesa, Ukraines biggest port and the headquarters of its navy.ASSOCIATED PRESSA Ukrainian serviceman Dmytro speaks by radio to his team before “ ring a self-propelled howitzer BohdanaŽ towards Russian positions near Bakhmut, Ukraine on Friday.Zelenskyy hails Ukraines soldiers SAMY MAGDYAssociated PressCAIRO „ An airstrike in a Sudanese city on Saturday killed at least 22 people, health authorities said, in one of the deadliest air attacks yet in the three months of fighting between the countrys rival generals. The assault took place in the Dar es Salaam neighborhood in Omdurman, the neighboring city of the capital, Khartoum, according to a brief statement by the health ministry. The attack wounded an unspecified number of people, it said. The ministry posted video footage that showed dead bodies on the ground with sheets covering them and people trying to pull the dead from the rubble. Others attempted to help the wounded. People could be heard crying. The attack was one of the deadliest in the fighting in urban areas of the capital and elsewhere in Sudan. The conflict pits the military against a powerful paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces. Last month, an airstrike killed at least 17 people including 5 children in Khartoum. The RSF blamed the military for Saturdays attack and other strikes on residential areas in Omdurman, where fighting has raged between the warring factions, according to residents. The military has reportedly attempted to cut off a crucial supply line for the paramilitary force there. A spokesman for the military was not immediately available for comment Saturday. Two Omdurman residents said it was difficult to determine which side was responsible for the attack. They said the militarys aircraft have repeatedly targeted RSF troops in the area and the paramilitary force has used drones and anti-aircraft weapons against the military. At the time of the attack early Saturday, the military was hitting the RSF, which took peoples houses as shields, and the RSF fired anti-aircraft rounds at the attacking warplanes, said Abdel-Rahman, one of the residents who asked to use only his first name out of concern for his safety. The area is like a hell ... fighting around the clock and people are not able to leave,Ž he said. The conflict broke out in mid-April, capping months of increasing tensions between the military, chaired by Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces, commanded by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo. The fighting came 18 months after the two generals led a military coup in October 2021 that toppled a Western-backed civilian transitional government. Health Minister Haitham Mohammed Ibrahim said in televised comments last month that the clashes have killed over 3,000 people and wounded over 6,000 others. More than 2.9 million people have fled their homes to safer areas inside Sudan or crossed into neighboring countries, according to U.N. figures. Its a place of great terror,Ž Martin Griffiths, the United Nations humanitarian chief, said of Sudan on Friday. He decried the appalling crimesŽ taking place across the country and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. The conflict has plunged the African country into chaos and turned Khartoum and other urban areas into battlefields. Members of the paramilitary force have occupied peoples houses since the onset of the conflict, according to residents.Airstrike in Sudanese city kills at least 22, officials say A supplement to your hometown newspaper

APG NATIONAL NEWS 2 | SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 Associated PressDES MOINES, Iowa „ The harassment started to intensify as TV meteorologist Chris Gloninger did more reporting on climate change during local newscasts „ outraged emails and even a threat to show up at his house. Gloninger said he had been recruited, in part, to shake things upŽ at the Iowa station where he worked, but backlash was building. The man who sent him a series of threatening emails was charged with third-degree harassment. The Des Moines station asked him to dial back his coverage, facing what he called an understandable pressure to maintain ratings. I started just connecting the dots between extreme weather and climate change, and then the volume of pushback started to increase quite dramatically,Ž he said in an interview with The Associated Press. So, on June 21, he announced that he was leaving KCCI-TV „ and his 18-year career in broadcast journalism altogether. Gloningers experience is all too common among meteorologists across the country who are encountering reactions from viewers as they tie climate change to extreme temperatures, blizzards, tornadoes and floods in their local weather reports. For on-air meteorologists, the anti-science trend that has emerged in recent years compounds a deepening skepticism of the news media. Many meteorologists say its a reflection of a more hostile political landscape that has also affected workers in a variety of jobs previously seen as nonpartisan, including librarians, school board officials and election workers. For several years now, Gloninger said, beliefs are amplified more than truth and evidence-based science. And that is not a good situation to be in as a nation.Ž Gloningers announcement sent reverberations through a national conference of broadcast meteorologists in Phoenix, where many shared their own horror stories, recalled Brad Colman, president of the American Meteorological Society. They say, You should have seen this note. And they try to take it with a smile, a lighthearted laugh,Ž Colman said. But some of them are really scary.Ž Meteorologists have long been subjected to abuse, but that has intensified in recent years, said Sean Sublette, a former TV meteorologist and now the chief meteorologist for the Richmond Times-Dispatch. More than once, Ive had people call me names or tell me Im stupid or these kinds of harassing type things simply for sharing information that they didnt want to hear,Ž he said. A decade ago, far fewer TV meteorologists were talking about climate change on air, although they wanted to do so, said Edward Maibach, the director of the Center for Climate Change Communication.Meteorologist talks about climate change, harassment follows Honolulu 87/75 Hilo 83/68 Anchorage 62/50 Fairbanks 79/57 Juneau 73/49 Monterrey 99/73 Chihuahua 101/76 Los Angeles 81/60 Washington 85/70 New York 81/71 Atlanta 88/71 Detroit 82/61 Houston 97/78 Kansas City 83/61 Minneapolis 87/68 El Paso 107/80 Denver 81/60 San Francisco 69/56 Seattle 78/55 Port Charlotte 95/77 Knoxville 83/68 Greensboro 84/69 Madison 83/61 Bozeman 85/53 Nampa 100/71 Toronto 76/61 Montreal 82/66 Winnipeg 78/51NATIONAL (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.

SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 | 3 Vt police officer died in a crash with suspect she was chasingRUTLAND, Vt. „ Vermont State Police say a Rutland City police officer was killed and two other officers were injured when a suspect crashed into two police cruisers pursuing him. Nineteen-year-old Rutland City Police Officer Jessica Ebbighausen was killed on Friday afternoon. The crash happened as police chased a vehicle driven by a man suspected of trying to break into a house. State police say evidence indicates that the suspect crossed the center line and collided head-on with the Ebbighausens cruiser and hitting another police cruiser. Ebbighausen was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other officers and the suspect were taken to the hospital with injuries.Crews continue to battle ship blaze that killed firefightersNEWARK, N.J. „ Fire crews continue to battle a blaze in a cargo ship docked at the East Coasts biggest port, days after the blaze claimed the lives of two New Jersey firefighters and injured five others. Newark firefighters Augusto AugieŽ Acabou and Wayne BearŽ Brooks Jr. were killed in the Wednesday night blaze in Newark aboard the Grande Costa dAvorio, an Italian-flagged vessel carrying thousands of vehicles and other goods. The Coast Guard said Saturday that marine firefighting specialists were actively conducting fire suppression both pier-side and on the water.Ž Officials say the cause of the blaze isnt known and an investigation cant begin until the fire is out.Switzerland to become a net importer of cheese this yearBERLIN „ The head of the Switzerlands dairy association says the country will import more cheese than it exports this year for the first time. Boris Beuret said in an interview published Saturday that the opening up of the Swiss milk market has put a squeeze on domestic producers in recent years, prompting some to give up. Beuret said measures need to be taken to ensure Switzerland „ famous for cheese varieties such as Gruyère and Emmentaler „ can continue to produce for its own population.

AROUND THE WORLDNATION & WORLD FARNOUSH AMIRIAssociated PressWASHINGTON „ The Republicans who lead three key House committees are joining forces to probe the Justice Departments handling of charges against Hunter Biden after making sweeping claims about misconduct at the agency. Leaders of the House Judiciary, Oversight and Accountability, and Ways and Means committees opened a joint investigation into the federal case into President Joe Bidens youngest son days after it was announced last month that he will plead guilty to the misdemeanor tax offenses as part of an agreement with the Justice Department. Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, James Comer of Kentucky and Jason Smith of Missouri have since issued a series of requests for voluntary testimony from senior officials at the Justice Department, FBI and Internal Revenue Service as they investigate what they claim is improper interference. Republicans have also requested a special counsel review of supposed retaliation against the whistleblowers who came forward with the claims. The congressional inquiry was launched after the House Ways and Means Committee, led by Smith, voted last month to publicly disclose hundreds of pages of testimony from the IRS employees who worked on the Hunter Biden case. The transcripts of Greg Shapley and an unidentified agent detail what they called a pattern of slow-walking investigative stepsŽ and delaying enforcement actions in the months before the 2020 election won by Joe Biden. The Justice Department has denied the whistleblower claims and said repeatedly that U.S. Attorney David Weiss in Delaware, the federal prosecutor who led the investigation, had full authorityŽ of the case.INVESTIGATING IRS WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIMSIn April, the first IRS whistleblower, Shapley, came forward when his attorney reached out to GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa to say that his client had information about a failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate dispositionŽ of what was then an ongoing criminal investigation related to Hunter Biden. Smith, chair of the Ways and Means Committee, who has jurisdiction over the IRS, brought in Shapley in late May for an hourslong interview, where he described several roadblocks that he and several other IRS agents on the case encountered when trying to interview individuals relevant to the investigation or issue search warrants. The whistleblowers insist their testimony reflects a pattern of inference and preferential treatment in the Hunter Biden case and not just disagreement with their superiors about what investigative steps to take. Justice Department policy has long warned prosecutors to take care in charging cases with potential political overtones around the time of an election, to avoid any possible influence on the outcome. The most disputed claim from the whistleblowers is that Weiss „ first appointed by former President Donald Trump and kept on by the Biden administration „ asked the Justice Department in March 2022 to be provided special counsel status in order to bring the tax cases against Hunter Biden in jurisdictions outside Delaware, including Washington, D.C., and California, but was denied. A second IRS whistleblower, who asked the committee to keep his identity secret, described his persistent frustrations with the way the Hunter Biden case was handled, dating back to the Trump administration under Attorney General William Barr. He said he started the investigation into Hunter Biden in 2015 and delved deeply into his personal life and finances.INVESTIGATING CLAIMS OF RETALIATIONBoth men have testified that they faced retaliation at the IRS after coming forward with concerns about the handling of the Hunter Biden case. Shapley, who was a career supervisory agent, told the committee that Weiss helped block his job promotion after the tax agency employee reached out to congressional investigators about the Biden case. The second unidentified whistleblower said he was taken off the Hunter Biden investigation around the same time as Shapley, who was his supervisor. Though he was informed of the decision by officials at the IRS, the second whistleblower believes his removal was actually ordered by officials in the Justice Department. Neither of the men provided lawmakers evidence that was the case, instead citing what they had witnessed internally as they pushed for various investigative steps. The three Republican chairmen, along with Sens. Grassley and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, sent a letter to the Justice Department asking for an immediate review of the retaliation claims. The importance of protecting whistleblowers from unlawful retaliation and informing whistleblowers about their rights under the law cannot be understated. After all, it is the law,Ž the lawmakers wrote.JUSTICE DEPARTMENT PUSHBACKThe Justice Department has denied the allegations from the whistleblowers, saying that Weiss has had full authority over this matter.What to know as top Republicans gear up to investigate the Hunter Biden case APG NATIONAL NEWSASSOCIATED PRESSRep. James Comer Jr., R-Ky., speaks to reporters about Hunter Biden June 20 on Capitol Hill in Washington.

TRAVIS LOLLERAssociated PressMULBERRY, Tenn. „ For decades, the whiskey and bourbon makers of Tennessee and Kentucky have been beloved in their communities. The distilleries where the liquor is manufactured and barrelhouses where it is aged have complemented the rural character of their neighborhoods, while providing jobs and the pride of a successful homegrown industry. Now, the growing popularity of the industry around the world is fueling conflicts at home. In Kentucky, where 95% of the worlds bourbon is manufactured, counties are revolting after the legislature voted to phase out a barrel tax they have depended on to fund schools, roads and utilities. Local officials who donated land and spent millions on infrastructure to help bourbon makers now say those investments may never be recouped. Neighbors in both states have been fighting industry expansion, even suing distillers. Complaints include a destructive black whiskey fungus,Ž the loss of prime farmland and liquor-themed tourist developments that are more Disneyland than distillery tour. The love affair, it seems, is over. Weve been their biggest advocates and they threw us under the bus,Ž said Jerry Summers, a former executive with Jim Beam and the judge-executive for Bullitt County, essentially the county mayor. Bullitt County has long depended on an annual barrel tax on aging whiskey, which brought in $3.8 million in 2021, Summers said. The majority goes to schools but the money also is used for services that support the countys Jim Beam and Four Roses plants, including a full-time fire department. Many of the new barrelhouses are being built with industrial revenue bonds exempting them from property taxes for years or decades. The counties supported the property tax breaks because they expected to continue collecting the barrel tax. When the state legislature voted to phase it out earlier this year, after intense lobbying by the Kentucky Distillers Association, county officials felt betrayed. Our industry was always a handshake agreement,Ž Summers said. Now, those agreements are being broken. Once the barrel tax sunsets in 2043, the distillers will pay no taxes at all to Bullitt on some warehouses. The county will still have to provide them with services, protect them and protect the surrounding community from them if anything goes wrong, Summers said. Where you have an alcohol-based plant that produces a hazardous material, you need emergency management, EMS, a sheriffs department,Ž he said. Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear, who signed the bill after passage by Kentuckys Republican-controlled legislature, said several industry compromises were vital to his support, while the bill will encourage investment. I know it was tough. You had an industry that supports so many jobs and calls Kentucky home. At the same time, youve got communities that have helped build that industry. I know there are, right now, probably some difficult feelings,Ž Beshear said in a news conference. Kentucky Distillers Association President Eric Gregory noted the compromise bill creates a new excise tax to help fund school districts. Another tax helps fire and emergency management services, though it does not apply in all counties. Even with this relief, distilling remains Kentuckys highest taxed industry, paying $286 million in taxes each year,Ž Gregory said in an email. While the tax changes take place, whiskey is booming. As a former Beam executive, Summers remembers a time when whiskey was a cheap, bottom shelfŽ drink. With small batch products, the liquor slowly became cool. American whiskey revenues since 2003 have nearly quadrupled, reaching $5.1 billion last year, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. During the same period, the super premium segment rose more than 20-fold to $1.3 billion. Now many of the most recognized brands are part of international beverage conglomerates. Jim Beam is owned by Japan-based Beam Suntory. Britains Diageo owns Bulleit. Italys Campari Group owns Wild Turkey. In lobbying for the end of the tax, the distillers group suggested the industry could leave Kentucky. Officials like Summers are calling that a bluff. He said Bullitt County does not want any new barrelhouses unless things change, and he is not alone. That got their attention, lets put it that way,Ž Hutchins said. Now, were trying to kiss and make up.Ž The county gets about $8.6 million a year from the barrel tax, he said.Beloved distillers face pushback over area taxes, climate emissions ASSOCIATED PRESSVisitors walk away from the Jack Daniels Distillery visitor center carrying boxes of whiskey on June 14 in Lynchburg, Tenn. A d estructive and unsightly black fungus which feeds on ethanol emitted by whiskey barrels has been found growing on property near the d istillerys barrelhouses. BRIEFCASE Treasury chief appeals to China for climate cooperationBEIJING „ Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has appealed to China not to let disagreements about trade and other irritants disrupt cooperation on climate change and other global challenges. In a meeting on Saturday with her Chinese counterpart, Vice Premier He Lifeng, Yellen defended U.S. restrictions on technology exports that irritate Beijing. She said the two governments shouldnt let such disagreements disrupt economic and financial relations. Yellen is one of a series of U.S. officials who are due to visit Beijing as part of efforts to revive relations that are at their lowest level in decades due to disputes over technology, security, Taiwan and other irritants.Cooler hiring in June could help Fed find soft landingWASHINGTON „ Another month, another solid gain for Americas job market. The pace of hiring by businesses and government agencies in June „ 209,000 added jobs „ was the smallest monthly gain in 2 1/2 years. Yet it was still a healthy increase, enough to reduce the unemployment rate from 3.7% to 3.6%, barely above a half-century low. And it amounted to further evidence of an economy that has defied persistent forecasts of a recession. The latest sign of economic strength makes it all but certain that the Federal Reserve will resume its interest rate hikes later this month after having ended a streak of 10 rate increases that were intended to curb high inflation.Food delivery services sue NYC over minimum pay ratesNEW YORK „ Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub have sued New York City to block its new minimum pay rules for food delivery workers. The recently announced rules could nearly triple average earnings for app-based delivery workers in the coming years. An increased pay rate of $17.96 an hour is set to take effect July 12. In the lawsuits filed Thursday, food delivery services are seeking a temporary restraining order in state Supreme Court in Manhattan to stop the changes from going into effect on July 12. The companies claim the changes would result in higher costs for consumers. An email seeking comment was sent to city officials.Elevated mortgage rates are leading to higher paymentsLOS ANGELES „ Would-be homebuyers are willing to take on sharply higher mortgage payments, even as home prices have begun to pull back this year. The median monthly payment listed on applications for home purchase loans jumped 14.1% in May from a year earlier to an all-time high $2,165, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

SCIENCE &TECH ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 | 5 Associated PressThe last of the United States declared chemical weapons stockpile was destroyed at a sprawling military installation in eastern Kentucky, the White House announced Friday, a milestone that closes a chapter of warfare dating back to World War I.Workers at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky destroyed rockets filled with GB nerve agent, completing a decadeslong campaign to eliminate a stockpile that by the end of the Cold War totaled more than 30,000 tons. For more than 30 years, the United States has worked tirelessly to eliminate our chemical weap ons stockpile,Ž President Joe Biden said in a statement released by the White House. Today, I am proud to announce that the United States has safely destroyed the final munition in that stockpile „ bringing us one step closer to a world free from the horrors of chemi cal weapons.Ž The weapons destruction is a major watershed for Richmond, Kentucky and Pueblo, Colorado, where an Army depot destroyed the last of its chemical agents last month. Its also a defining moment for arms con trol efforts worldwide. The U.S. faced a Sept. 30 deadline to eliminate its remaining chemical weapons under the international Chemical Weapons Convention, which took effect in 1997 and was joined by 193 countries. The munitions being destroyed in Kentucky are the last of 51,000 M55 rockets with GB nerve agent „ a deadly toxin also known as sarin „ that have been stored at the depot since the 1940s. By destroying the munitions, the U.S. is officially underscoring that these types of weapons are no longer acceptable in the battlefield and sending a message to the handful of countries that havent joined the agree ment, military experts say. Chemical weapons are responsible for some of the most horrific episodes of human loss,Ž Senate Repub lican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said in a statement. Though the use of these deadly agents will always be a stain on history, today our nation has finally fulfilled our promise to rid our arsenal of this evil. Fridays announcement came as the Biden admin istration has also decided to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine, a weapon that two-thirds of NATO countries have banned because it can cause many civil ian casualties. National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Ukraine has promised to use the munitions „ bombs that open in the air and release scores of smaller bomblets „ carefully. Chemical weapons were first used in modern warfare in World War I, where they were estimated have killed at least 100,000. Despite their use being subsequently banned by the Geneva Convention, countries contin ued to stockpile the weapons until the treaty calling for their destruction. In southern Colorado, workers at the Army Pueblo Chemical Depot started destroying the weapons in 2016, and on June 22 completed their mission of neutralizing an entire cache of about 2,600 tons of mustard blister agent. The projectiles and mortars comprised about 8.5% of the countrys original chemical weapons stockpile of 30,610 tons of agent. Nearly 800,000 chemical munitions containing mus tard agent were stored since the 1950s inside row after row of heavily guarded concrete and earthen bunkers that pock the landscape near a large swath of farmland east of Pueblo. The weapons destruction alleviates a concern that civic leaders in Colorado and Kentucky admit was always in the back of their minds. Those (weapons) sitting out there were not a threat,Ž Pueblo Mayor Nick Gradisar said. But, he added, you always wondered what might happen with them.Ž In the 1980s, the community around Kentuckys Blue Grass Army Depot rose up in opposition to the Armys initial plan to incinerate the plants 520 tons of chemical weapons, leading to a decadeslong battle over how they would be disposed of. They were able to halt the planned incineration plant, and then, with help from lawmakers, prompted the Army to submit alter native methods to burning the weapons. Craig Williams, who became the leading voice of the community opposition and later a partner with politi cal leadership and the military, said residents were concerned about potential toxic pollution from burning the deadly chemical agents. Williams noted that the military eliminated most of its existing stockpile by burning weapons at other, more remote sites such as Johnston Atoll in the Pacific Ocean or at a chemical depot in the middle of the Utah desert. But the Kentucky site was adjacent to Richmond and only a few dozen miles away from Lexington, the states second-largest city.ASSOCIATED PRESSIn this photo provided by the U.S. Army, workers at the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant in Richmond, Ky., beg in the destruction of the “rst rocket from a stockpile of M55 rockets with GB nerve agent, July 6, 2022.U.S. destroys last of its declared chemical weapons, closes legacy from World War I

SPORTS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | SUNDAY, JULY 9, 2023 | 6 ASSOCIATED PRESSLAS VEGAS „ The NBA has a new trophy to play for, and some bonus cash for the teams that make the knock out round. The unveiling Saturday of the long-awaited plans for the in-season tournament thatll start in November likely brought some questions, since its a new concept and will make the schedule a bit unclear when the list of games for the 2023-24 slate gets released later this summer. All 30 teams will take part. And every game will count in the stats and standings „ except the championship game in Las Vegas on Dec. 9.HOW DOES THIS WORK?First, lets start with the easy answer. Every game counts in the regular-season standings „ except the champion ship game. (More on that later.) Teams will play four group-stage games. The group win ners go to the quarterfinals, as do two wild-card teams. Quarterfinals, semifinals and the final are all single elimi nation.HOW WERE THE GROUPS PICKED?Teams were assigned to a five-team group, with this past seasons order of regular season finish setting the pods from which they were selected. The teams that finished first, second and third in each conference were in one pod; the teams that finished in spots 4-6 were in another; spots 7-9 in another; spots 10-12 in another and spots 13-15 in the last. The winner of each group goes to the quarterfinals, along with the best two second-place teams. Tiebreakers will likely come into play there. For tiebreakers within a group, head-to-head comes first. If theres a tie for the best second-place team in all groups, the tiebreakers are: „ Point differential in the Group Stage; „ Total points scored in the Group Stage; „ Record from the 2022-23 regular season. „ Random drawing.WHATS AT STAKE?Well, the games all count, so the results will obviously factor toward who makes the realŽ playoffs that start in April. Other than that, teams will play for the NBA Cup „ the new trophy „ and bonus money for the quarterfinal ists, semifinalists, runner-up and champion. Players could get as much as $500,000; for some guys in the league, thats a game check, but for many players, thats still a sig nificant amount of money.DOES EVERYONE STILL PLAY 82 GAMES?This is a bit of a trick question. The answer is yes, sort of. Teams will get an 80-game schedule (including the four group stage games) in the next few weeks. Teams that dont make the playoffs of the in-season tournament will play two games (filling the two missing games in their 82-game schedule) against other non-knockout-stage teams on Dec. 6 and 8. For quarterfinalists, that game becomes the 81st on their schedule. Quarterfinal losers will play the other quarter final loser from their conference, filling the 82nd spot on their schedule. Semifinalists will have 82 game slots filled by the quar terfinals and semifinals. Semifinal losers wont play any extra game; theyll be at 82 already. This leaves the two championship-game-bound teams. That Dec. 9 game in Las Vegas will end up as one of 83 games on their schedules „ which is why it wont count on their records or for statistical purposes. Regular season play resumes Dec. 11.WILL ALL TEAMS STILL PLAY 41 HOME GAMES?No. Some teams will play 40 games at home or on the road instead of the customary 41, and some teams could also find themselves at home or on the road 42 times.How the NBAs new in-season tournament will work ASSOCIATED PRESSMiami Heat center Orlando Robinson, center front, makes a basket as Boston Celtics guard Jay Scrubb (29) tries to keep him from the net during an NBA Summer League basketball game Saturday, July 8, 2023, in Las Vegas.

The NBAs winningest coach has signed a five-year contract to remain coach and president of the team, the Spurs announced Sat urday. There has often been speculation about the 74-year-old Popovichs future, though after the team landed the chance to draft Victor Wembanyama last month it was presumed that the fivetime champion would continue coach ing. And now, its official. The Spurs announced the move in a two-sentence release, not detailing any of the terms, without any quotes from Popovich or team personnel.Iga Swiatek, Novak Djokovic play for spots in quarterfinalsWIMBLEDON, England „ Iga Swiatek has never reached the quarter finals at Wimbledon. She can get there on Sunday. The top-ranked Swiatek will face 14th-seeded Belinda Bencic on Centre Court. On the mens side, Novak Djokovic takes his Wimbledon winning streak „ 31 matches and counting „ into the fourth round.

Not only was that the best score of the championship, Hata oka was nearly nine shots better than the field average. She went from six shots behind to one shot ahead in pursuit of his first major.

Campbell wrote to the school that Huggins never signed a resignation letter and never communi cated a resignation to anyone at WVU.Ž The letter threatens a lawsuit if Hug gins isnt reinstated. Campbell says Huggins wife, and not the coach, sent a resignation notice to the school. WVU disputes those claims, saying Huggins clearly communicated his resignation and retirement in writing and told play ers and members of the basketball staff about his decision.Associated Press SPORTS IN BRIEF AP EXPLAINS

Troise; Jenni Sohn € APThe fear on Wall Street once stoked by the global pandemic has retreated to its lowest level since early 2020, according to one widely used metric. The Chicago Board Options Exchanges CBOE volatility index is widely seen as a measure of how much volatility the market expects, or a gauge of fears about where the broader market is heading. The easing comes as the S&P 500 rose 20% from its low in October of 2022, exiting its bear market. Inflation, while still high, has been cooling, and consumer confidence remains strong. The economy has been slowing, but has yet to slip into a recession. Evidence of a regime shift from high to low implied volatility is building,Ž said Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist for LPL Financial, in a note to investors. Recent economic reports have been mostly stronger than expected. Sales of new homes and orders for manufactured goods have both topped economic forecasts, along with surprisingly good consumer confidence data. The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, maintained interest rates at its latest meeting after more than a year of aggressive hikes. Market fears subside Market fears subsideCalmer marketsWall Street is a less volatile place amid rising stock prices and upbeat economic reports. 2020202120222023 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 CBOE Volatility Index SUNNews Media For questions or comments, contact Chris Porter at 941-206-1134 or email chris.porter@yoursun.comClosing gures for Friday, July 7, 2023 34712.28 28660.94 Dow Jones industrials 34465.60 33716.75 33734.88 -672.72 -2.0 t s 1.8 | 9971 7.7 15888.39 11946.21 Dow Jones transport. 15715.02 15271.46 15559.51 29.74 0.2 s s 16.2 | 9999865321 16.1 16222.20 13278.56 NYSE Comp. 15932.01 15557.97 15671.63 -204.29 -1.3 s s 3.2 | 99431 7.0 13864.06 10088.83 Nasdaq Comp. 13844.50 13567.25 13660.72 -127.21 -0.9 s s 30.5 | 99999541 17.4 4458.48 3491.58 S&P 500 4456.46 4385.05 4398.95 -51.43 -1.2 s s 14.6 | 99987 12.8 2738.88 2185.93 S&P MidCap 2636.11 2554.96 2603.24 -19.10 -0.7 s s 7.1 | 9998521 12.2 44965.59 34917.15 Wilshire 5000 44964.78 44132.86 44374.72 -508.90 -1.1 s s 16.6 | 9999641 14.2 2030.05 1641.94 Russell 2000 1898.60 1823.91 1864.66 -24.07 -1.3 t s 5.9 | 98531 5.4 52-WEEK WK WK YTD 1YR HIGH LOW INDEX HIGH LOW CLOSE CHG %CHG MO QTR %CHG %CHG 3,600 3,800 4,000 4,200 4,400 4,600 JFMAMJ 5.21 MON CLOSED TUES -8.77 WED -35.23 THUR -12.64 FRI 9,000 10,000 11,000 12,000 13,000 14,000 15,000 JFMAMJ 28.85 MON CLOSED TUES -25.12 WED -112.61 THUR -18.32 FRI Close: 13,660.72 1-week change: -127.21 (-0.9%)Nasdaq composite Close: 4,398.95 1-week change: -51.43 (-1.2%)S&P 500Stocks Recap WEEKLY PERFORMANCE Taxable„national avg 4.66 MSILF MMP/Wealth 5.23 $10 mil.

The S&P 500 gave up a midday gain and ended 0.3% lower Friday. The Dow fell and the Nasdaq slipped. Small-company stocks rose. A lot is riding on whether the economy can navigate the narrow pathway to avoid a long-predicted recession. Fridays report showed that employers added fewer jobs in June than in May, not far off economists expectations. Some concerning signals for inflation were also still embedded in the report. Treasury yields were mixed. The diagnostic testing company gave investors an encouraging update on a cancer-risk test. Chinese regulators fined an affiliate of internet retailer Ant Group for violating corporate governance and consumer rights laws. The jeans maker gave investors a disappointing profit forecast. The solar technology company said it entered a five-year revolving loan program for up to $1 billion. 10 20 $30 AJ MJ Castle BiosciencesCSTL Close: $20.30 7.02 or 52.9% $9.26$36.10 Vol.: Mkt.

homebuyers are willing to take on sharply higher mortgage payments, even as home prices have begun to pull back this year. The median monthly payment listed on applications for home purchase loans jumped 14.1% in May from a year earlier to an all-time high $2,165, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. The May figure also represents a 2.5% increase from April. Homebuyer affordability eroded further in May as prospective buyers continue to grapple with high interest rates and low housing inventory,Ž Edward Seiler, the MBAs associate vice president of housing economics, said in a release last week. The size of the mortgage and the interest rate on the loan influence how large the monthly payment on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage will be. Those two housing market variables have ballooned in recent years. Despite recent declines, the national median home price remains nearly 40% higher than it was three years ago. Meanwhile, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage hit a new high for the year this week at 6.81%, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. Thats more than double what it was two years ago. The trend is pushing the limits of what many homebuyers can afford. Consider that two years ago the median national monthly payment on mortgage applications was $1,320.48, or 63.4% less than what it was last month.

PRICE OF A US STAMP RISES TO 66 CENTS Stamps prices are on the rise, again „ one of several changes the U.S. Postal Service is rolling out this month. Starting Sunday, the cost of the first-class foreverŽ stamps will jump from 63 to 66 cents. The latest price comes just months after forever stamps climbed from 60 to 63 cents in January, following a series of similar increases in recent years. The Postal Service will also launch a new package shipping service, USPS Ground Advantage, on Sunday to replace and combine previous plans. AP Market PulseCOMPANIES REIN IN REWARDS PROGRAMS Store reward programs like birthday freebies and discounts have long been a way for brands to build loyalty and incentivize spending. But now some chains are becoming a bit more stingy „ and customers are taking notice. Last fall Dunkin stopped offering a free drink on customers birthdays and instead gives them triple loyalty points on their purchase. Sephora now requires a $25 minimum purchase for online customers looking to claim a free gift and 250 loyalty points during their birthday month. And Red Robin added a dine-in only and $4.99 minimum purchase requirement for customers to get their free birthday burger. Some experts say the cost of maintaining loyalty programs, inflation and changes in consumer behavior since the pandemic are reasons companies are pulling back. 1,500 DISNEYLAND COLLECTIBLES GO UP FOR AUCTION Fans who agree Disneyland is indeed the happiest place on Earth will soon be able to take home more than a souvenir. Passionate collector Joel Magee is putting more than 1,500 items up for auction this month. The items for sale are as small as a trading card and as large as a 1917 Model T moving van from Disneylands original Main Street that Magee says Walt Disney created himself. Other items include a Dumbo ride vehicle, trash cans from the park and posters. The exhibition at the Burbank Town Center Mall runs through July 16. The auction will be held July 17 through 19.
