Other options include a former Bank of America building on Olean Boulevard and a vacant Tuesday Morning store at the Promenades Mall, 3280 Tamiami Trail in Port Charlotte. At Tuesdays meeting, commissioners debated if any of the three proposed sites could work as a temporary library. Commissioners Bill Truex and Ken Doherty said the Bed Bath & Beyond space is the best of the three. But Commissioner Chris Constance believed parking there could be an issue. Commissioner Joe Tiseo thought it might cost too much to open a temporary location if the library building itself is salvageable. I appreciate you going out “ nding those other temporary solutions, I really do, but you know I want to look at that and all the costs and timing associated with those temporary solutions,Ž Tiseo said. It may be worth the wait as opposed Temporary library on the way?Three possible sites to replace storm-damaged building SUN PHOTO BY ELAINE ALLENEMRICHThe Bed Bath & Beyond in Murdock is closing and Charlotte County sta is asking commissioners to consider leasing it as a temporary library for a few years until there are solutions to repairing the Mid-County Regional Library in Port Charlotte.

Geraldine A. Ferraro of New York to be his running-mate; Ferraro was the first woman to run for vice president on a major-party ticket.On this dateIn 1812, United States forces led by Gen. William Hull entered Canada during the War of 1812 against Britain. (However, Hull retreated shortly thereafter to Detroit.) In 1862, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill authorizing the Army Medal of Honor. In 1909, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in passing the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, allowing for a federal income tax, and submitted it to the states. (It was declared ratified in February 1913.) In 1965, the Beach Boys single California GirlsŽ was released by Capitol Records. In 1967, rioting erupted in Newark, New Jersey, over the police beating of a Black taxi driver; 26 people were killed in the five days of violence that followed. In 1974, President Richard Nixon signed a measure creating the Congressional Budget Office. Former White House aide John Ehrlichman and three others were convicted of conspiring to violate the civil rights of Daniel Ellsbergs former psychiatrist. In 1991, Japanese professor Hitoshi Igarashi, who had translated Salman Rushdies The Satanic Verses,Ž was found stabbed to death, nine days after the novels Italian translator was attacked in Milan. Ten years ago: A train carrying hundreds of passengers derailed and crashed outside Paris; at least six people were killed and dozens injured. NSA leaker Edward Snowden emerged from weeks of hiding in a Moscow airport, meeting with Russian officials and rights activists. The Texas Senate passed sweeping new abortion restrictions, sending them to Gov. Rick Perry to sign into law after weeks of protests and rallies that drew thousands of people to the Capitol. Five years ago: After an emergency gathering of NATO leaders held to address his criticisms, President Donald Trump said the U.S. commitment to the alliance remains very strong,Ž despite reports that he had threatened to pull out in a dispute over defense spending. Trump then flew to Great Britain for his first visit as president. Syrias government raised its flag over the southern city of Daraa, the cradle of the 2011 uprising against President Bashar Assad, after rebels in the city surrendered. One year ago: As a Russian offensive intensified in eastern Ukraine, authorities urged residents to evacuate for other, safer cities and towns in the west of the country, though many refused to leave, including pensioners worried they wouldnt have enough money to survive in a new location.

PAGE 4A WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.cominvestigation is ongoing, but it hasnt identi“ed any evidence of malicious activityŽ within the companys network related to the breach. HCA Healthcare disabled user access to the storage location as an immediate containment measure,Ž the company stated. HCA Fawcett Hospital spokesperson Alexandria Benjamin said patients should look out for any communications that seem suspicious, such as invoices or payment reminders that appear to come from HCA. Patients can call 844-608-1803 to verify the legitimacy of any message. We are working as quickly as possible to speci“cally identify and contact patients whose data is impacted by this incident,Ž Benjamin said. At that point, there will be a dedicated phone number for those patients to call regarding credit monitoring and identity protection services, where appropriate as well as general questions.Ž HCA Healthcare owns 180 hospitals and more than 2,300 medical facilities in 20 states and the United Kingdom.DATAFROM PAGE 1Ato all the resources to do a temporary something when it only may be a short period of time to get the permanent thing done.Ž Truex said the damage could trigger the 50% rule from the National Flood Insurance Program, which prohibits improvements to a structure exceeding 50% of its market value unless the entire structure is brought into full compliance with current ”ood regulations. Sta said the parking lot at the library may be the only area prone to ”ooding and, possibly, the 50% rule. The building is valued at about $7 million. The majority of the damage happened on Sept. 28 when Hurricane Ian ripped apart the roof, damaging many of the 100,000 items and furnishings in the building. Sta was able to save about 60,000 items and relocate them to an air-conditioned warehouse. Sta has been working on a suitable temporary location, including warehouse or oce spaces. Commissioners asked sta to prepare for a September workshop to review possible lease costs for temporary sites and to review the cost to repair, replace or relocate the Mid-County library. Constance said sta should also look at what other counties have done to modernize libraries. He said users may not have the same needs today as years ago. He said it might also be cheaper to have a few smaller sites in Port Charlotte with a childrens area and adult services section instead of one temporary site. Libraries are changing and maybe libraries in Florida need to change faster than every place else because we have all these assets, hard assets that have been destroyed by the storm,Ž he said. And I really think part of the mission and part of the discussion I want to hear in September is talking about a fully digital library.Ž County sta said theres still a tremendous amountŽ of library users „ about 800 visiting the library daily. CULTURAL CENTER UPDATE Commissioners were told a report of the severely damaged Cultural Center of Charlotte County, 2280 Aaron St., in Port Charlotte, will be complete in the next 30 days. Information on the full condition of the building is coming from the insurance adjuster. The report will be presented to county commissioners at a future meeting. A secondary report will show all of the maintenance de“ciencies and repairs needed at the Cultural Center prior it being damaged by Hurricane Ian.. Commissioners will also have an upcoming workshop on costs associated with rebuilding the center. Email: elaine.allen@ yoursun.comLIBRARYFROM PAGE 1ARudy Davis, one of the organizers of the opposition to the project who presented commissioners with a petition signed by 1,200 residents more than a year ago. Other speakers challenged the applicants assertions about the aordability of the units, stormwater management, ”ooding on S.R. 776, noise and light pollution, and the added trac from the complex. The company did scale back its original plan calling for 300 units in 45-foot-high buildings after two required meetings with neighbors. The new plan presented to commissioners Tuesday will have 260 units in 11 buildings. The four closest to the existing neighborhoods will be limited to 28 feet, and the other 11 buildings at 38 feet. The stipulations are all contained in a binding development concept plan. That still did not mollify residents who remained steadfast in their opposition as expressed to commissioners Tuesday. For a few minutes during the discussion following the conclusion of the public hearing, it appeared that Commissioner Mark Smith was sympathetic to the audience expressing concerns about trac from the complex driving through the Arlington Cove community to reach S.R. 776. During his presentation for Land America, Attorney Bill Merrill told commissioners that ocials from the Florida Department of Transportation „ which has jurisdiction over S.R. 776 „ had said if commissioners prohibited access through Arlington Cove, then they would grant a second, direct access to the highway. Sarasota County codes require two access points for “re and safety reasons. But Merrills statement con”icted with a condition of approval that said if FDOT didnt approve a secondary access, then the company would have to provide access via Ipswich Drive in Arlington Cove. I cannot accept this neighborhood having that trac,Ž Smith said. After discussions between commissioners and County Attorney Josh Moye, then agreed to remove that condition, leading to a “nal approval „ but not before Cutsinger had the “nal word. Englewood is not Sarasota,Ž the 50-year resident of the town said. Weve been discovered. Growth is coming. Compatibility is an issue here.ŽPROSEFROM PAGE 1A SUN PHOTO BY CHRIS PORTERA roomful of residents turned out in red shirts to oppose a developers plans for three-story apartments on State Road 776.

The S&P 500 rose 29.73, or 0.7%, to 4,439.26. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 317.02 points, or 0.9%, to 34,261.42, and the Nasdaq composite added 75.22, or 0.5%, to 13,760.70. Activision Blizzard jumped 10% for one of the markets larger gains after a judge ruled Microsoft could move forward on its $69 billion takeover of the video game maker. Salesforce was the biggest force driving the Dow after climbing 3.9% on price increases announced for its products. Amazon also pushed the market upward and rose 1.3% on the “rst day of its annual Prime Day sales event. Much of Wall Streets gains for the day came at the end of trading, with about a third of the S&P 500s rise happening in the “nal 20 minutes. The weeks main event will arrive Wednesday, when the U.S. government will oer the latest update on in”ation at the consumer level. Economists expect to see another slowdown, with prices 3.1% higher in June than a year earlier, down from in”ation of 4% in May and just above 9% last summer.Wall Street gets a late push ahead of inflation data THENATIONSGUTTERGUARD 1 CLOG-FREEGUTTERSFOREVER BEFORELeafFilter AFTERLeafFilter LIFETIMEWAR RANTY INSTALLSONNEW &EXISTINGGUTTERS PROTECTYOURHOME 365DAYSAYEAR KeepsOutAllDebrisCompletelysealedsystemprotects yourgutters„andentirehome„ fromdamagingdebris. 1-941-621-9629CALLUSTODAYFORAFREEESTIMATE LeafFilterwasa greatinvestment forourhome.Ž…Bill&Jan. **WellsFargoHomeProjectscreditcardisissuedbyWellsFargoBank,N.A.,anEqualHousingLender.Specialtermsfor24mo.applytoqualifyingpurch asesof$1,000ormorewithapprovedcredit.Minimummonthlypaymentswillnotpayobalancebeforeendof promotionalperiod.APRfornewpurchasesis28.99%.Eective-01/01/2023-subjecttochange.Call1-800-431-5921forcompletedetails.2Theleadi ngconsumerreportingagencyconducteda16monthoutdoortestofgutterguardsin2010andrecognizedLeafFilter asthe#1ratedprofessionallyinstalledgutterguardsysteminAmerica.Ž*Forthosewhoqualify.Onecouponperhousehold.Noobligationestimatev alidfor1year.Oervalidattimeofestimateonly.SeeRepresentativeforfullwarrantydetails.Manufacturedin Plainwell,MichiganandprocessedatLMTMercerGroupinOhio.AR#0366920922,CA#1035795,CT#HIC.0649905,FL#CBC056678,IA#C127230,ID#RCE-516 04,LA#559544,MA#176447,MD#MHIC148329,MI#2102212986,#262000022,#262000403,#2106212946,MN #IR731804,MT#226192,ND47304,NE#50145-22,NJ#13VH09953900,NM#408693,NV#0086990,NY#H-19114,H-52229,OR#218294,PA#PA069383,RI#GC-413 54,TN#7656,UT#10783658-5501,VA#2705169445,WA#LEAFFNW822JZ,WV#WV056912.Mon-Thurs:8am-11pm,Fri-Sat:8am-5pm,Sun:2pm-8pmEST EXCLUSIVELIMITEDTIMEOFFER!PromoCode:285 FREEGUTTERALIGNMENT+FREEGUTTERCLEANING*APRFOR 24MONTHS** SENIORS& MILITARY!YOURENTIRE PURCHASE*++0 10 15%% %OFFOFFadno=3894187-1

The Friends of Ben Albritton committee raised $50,000 and had about $823,000 on hand as of June 30. It received $25,000 during the month from U.S. Sugar. Meanwhile, an Albritton-led committee known as Advancing Florida Agriculture raised $25,000 in June, with that money coming from U.S. Sugar, according to a report posted on the state Division of Elections website. Advancing Florida Agriculture had nearly $637,000 on hand as of June 30. Albritton, who represents all of DeSoto and Hardee county along with portions of Charlotte, Lee and Polk, is slated to become Senate president after the 2024 elections.Albritton committees get sugar boost By JIM SAUNDERSNEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDATALLAHASSEE „ The market for reinsurance „ a critical piece of Floridas property-insurance system „ is improving. But it comes at a price. Those are takeaways from new reports as Florida insurers try to bounce back after two years of homeowners losing policies and facing major rate increases because of “nancial troubles in the industry. Reinsurance, which is essentially insurance for insurers, helps drive the catastrophe-prone Florida insurance system. When the market for reinsurance is tight and costly, the eects trickle down to homeowners policies. But the new reports indicate reinsurance has been available this year for Florida insurers during a critical period in June and July when many reinsurance contracts are renewed. The rub? Reinsurance prices are up. A report released by the reinsurance broker Aon included a subtitle that said, Florida: Challenging market turns a corner.Ž The 2023 mid-year renewal was orderly for Florida-domiciled insurers, which are heavily reliant on reinsurance to trade and meet solvency and ratings requirements,Ž the report said. Despite concerns post Hurricane Ian of a potential capacity crunch for Floridian insurers, catastrophe reinsurance capacity was available at mid-year, at a price.Ž Similarly, a report by Gallagher Re, another reinsurance broker, said: Overall, there was sucient supply to clear renewals, albeit at meaningful price increases compounding over multiple years.Ž The Insurance Journal reported on the Aon and Gallagher Re reports last week. Property insurers buy reinsurance and a type of “nancial instrument known as catastrophe bonds to hedge against risks. Being able to ooad a portion of risk is vital for insurers in situations such as last years Hurricane Ian, which caused tens of billions of dollars in insured losses. But while many homeowners might not realize it, the costs of what is known as risk transferŽ get baked into their insurance premiums. A report slated to go before the Citizens Property Insurance Corp. Board of Governors on Wednesday said risk transfer pricing is up for the year with most Florida carriers experiencing rate increases of approximately 30%-50%, while pricing indications for non-Florida risk is up 10%-20%.Ž The report said the state-backed Citizens, which is Floridas largest property insurer, plans to spend $650 million this year for its risk-transfer program, which would provide $5.38 billion in coverage. Insurers rely on a combination of reinsurance bought in the private market and from the state-run Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, which can provide the coverage at a relatively low cost. With the property-insurance market crumbling in May 2022 „ before Ian hit Southwest Florida „ lawmakers agreed to spend $2 billion in tax dollars to temporarily provide additional reinsurance coverage to insurers. They followed up in December by approving a program that eectively oered additional levels, known as layers,Ž of reinsurance funded through $1 billion in state tax dollars and premiums paid by insurers. But the new reports indicate that other changes made by lawmakers, including a series of steps aimed at limiting lawsuits against insurers, have helped make Florida more appealing to reinsurers. Floridas recently implemented tort reform package, which seeks to address abuses of the legal system, is perhaps the most signi“cant action taken so far to stabilize Floridas insurance market,Ž the Aon report said. Prior accident year results remain a challenge, but as the full bene“ts of tort reform materialize, the supply of property insurance in Florida should increase. Combined with improved terms and conditions, the reform should also help attract additional reinsurance capacity to the state going forward.ŽKey insurance piece improves „ at a priceReport shows two years of homeowners losing policies, facing rate increases SUN FILE PHOTO BY CHRIS PORTERCondominiums on Gasparilla Island in Charlotte County show the damage they sustained during Hurricane Ian on Sept. 28, a storm that dealt a blow to Floridas insurance industry. By JIM SAUNDERS AND JIM TURNERNEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDATALLAHASSEE „ The Florida insurance market took a hit Tuesday, as Farmers Insurance said it will end residential, auto and umbrella policies in the state, forcing tens of thousands of customers to look elsewhere for coverage. The company said the move will aect only Farmers-branded policies and will not aect policies sold in the state by subsidiaries Foremost and Bristol West. It indicated the Farmersbranded policies make up about 30 percent of the policies sold by the aliated companies in Florida. We have advised the Florida Oce of Insurance Regulation of our decision to discontinue oering Farmers-branded auto, home and umbrella policies in the state,Ž Farmers spokesman Trevor Chapman said in a prepared statement. This business decision was necessary to eectively manage risk exposure. Farmers oers insurance through several dierent brands, and this decision applies only to policies issued through our exclusive agency distribution channel.Ž Farmers will not write new policies or renew existing policies. The non-renewals will play out over several months. It was not immediately clear Tuesday how much of an impact the Farmers move will have on Floridas troubled property-insurance market, where insurers have dropped hundreds of thousands of policies and raised rates during the past two years. A source told The News Service of Florida that about 100,000 Farmers policies across the residential, auto and umbrella lines of business could be aected, though a breakdown by policy type was not available. A state report indicated that, as of Dec. 31, Farmers Casualty Insurance Co. had 5,835 residential policies. By comparison, Foremost Insurance Co. and Foremost Property and Casualty Insurance Co. combined for nearly 62,500 residential policies, according to the report. Bristol West sells auto insurance. Saying he had heard rumors that Farmers might pull out of Florida, state Chief Financial Ocer Jimmy Patronis on Monday blasted the company. If thats true my oce is going to explore every avenue possible for holding them accountable,Ž Patronis said in a Twitter post. Dont get to leave after taking policyholder money. Cant write auto if youre not doing homeowners either.Ž That drew a retort from Rep. Hilary Cassel, D-Dania Beach, an attorney who represents policyholders in lawsuits against insurers. The only time your oce has held an insurance company accountable is when youre looking to collect a campaign check,Ž Cassel tweeted. Samantha Bequer, a spokeswoman for the Oce of Insurance Regulation, said in an email that the agency received a notice Monday from Farmers about exiting the market. The notice was listed as a trade secret,Ž so its details were not publicly available Tuesday. State law requires Farmers to give 90 days notice to the oce before it can inform customers that policies will not be renewed. Farmers also is limiting homeowners coverage in California, according to numerous recent media reports.Farmers Insurance exiting FloridaChange will force tens of thousands to look for different coverage NorthPort€VenicePuntaGorda€PortCharlotte€Englewood LOCAL S hop WeLoveShopping!

PAGE 8A WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comVILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) „ NATO leaders said Tuesday that they would allow Ukraine to join the alliance when allies agree and conditions are metŽ „ a pronouncement that came just hours after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blasted the organizations failure to set a timetable for his country as absurd.Ž Instead, alliance leaders decided to remove obstacles on Ukraines membership path so that it can join more quickly once the war with Russia is over. We rearmed Ukraine will become a member of NATO and agreed to remove the requirement for a membership action plan,Ž NATO SecretaryGeneral Jens Stoltenberg told reporters, referring to a key step in the process that involves advice and assistance for countries seeking to join. This will change Ukraines membership path from a two-step path to a one-step path,Ž Stoltenberg said. Although many NATO members have funneled arms and ammunition to Zelenskyys forces, there is no consensus among the 31 allies for admitting Ukraine into NATOs ranks. Zelenskyy pushed back sharply against the decision as he headed to the annual NATO summit in Vilnius. Its unprecedented and absurd when a time frame is set neither for the invitation nor for Ukraines membership,Ž Zelenskyy tweeted. While at the same time, vague wording about conditions is added even for inviting Ukraine. It seems there is no readiness to invite Ukraine to NATO or to make it a member of the Alliance.Ž NATO membership would aord Ukraine protection against a giant neighbor that annexed its Crimean Peninsula almost a decade ago and more recently seized vast swaths of land in the east and south. Joining NATO would also oblige Kyiv to reform its security institutions, improve governance and curb corruption „ work that would also ease the countrys path into the European Union. Asked about Zelenskyys concerns, Stoltenberg said the most important thing now is to ensure that his country wins the war, because unless Ukraine prevails there is no membership to be discussed at all.Ž The broadside from Zelenskyy could renew tensions at the summit shortly after it saw a burst of goodwill following an agreement by Turkey to advance Swedens bid to join NATO. Allies hope to resolve the seesawing negotiations and create a clear plan for the alliance and its support for Ukraine. The Ukrainian president, who was to meet Wednesday with U.S. President Joe Biden and other NATO leaders, expressed deep frustration in an emotional speech in downtown Vilnius. Today I started my journey with faith in solutions, with faith in strong partners, with faith in NATO ƒ in a NATO that does not hesitate, that does not waste time and does not look over their backs at any aggressor,Ž Zelenskyy said. I would like this faith to become con“dence, con“dence in the decisions that we deserve, all of us „ every soldier, every citizen, every mother, every child,Ž he said. Is that too much to ask?Ž Sharp divisions have emerged within the alliance over Ukraines desire to join NATO, which was promised back in 2008 even though few steps were taken toward that goal. In addition, the Baltic states „ including Lithuania, which is hosting the summit „ have pushed for a strong show of support and a clear pathway toward membership for Ukraine. However, the United States and Germany urged caution. Biden said last week that Ukraine was not ready to join. Members of NATO, he told CNN, need to meet all the quali“cations, from democratization to a whole range of other issues,Ž a nod toward longstanding concerns about governance and corruption in Kyiv. In addition, some fear that bringing Ukraine into NATO would serve more as a provocation to Russia than as a deterrence against aggression. Concretely, NATO leaders decided to launch a series of multiyear programs to bring Ukraines Soviet-era military equipment and doctrines up to modern standards so the country can operate fully with the alliance. On Wednesday, the leaders and Zelenskyy are set to launch a new, upgraded forum for their cooperation: a NATOUkraine Council, where all parties can convene crisis talks if their security is threatened. To fast-track its future membership, the leaders agreed to do away with a membership action plan for Ukraine, a program often seen as mandatory for aspiring nations to undertake. Known in NATO parlance as a MAP, the action plan involves a tailor-made package of advice, assistance and practical support for countries preparing to join NATO. Bosnia, for example, is currently taking part in one. Pressed by reporters to say what kind of conditions are being placed on Ukraine joining, Stoltenberg said: We want modern defense and security institutions.Ž The dispute over Ukraine stands in contrast to a hard-fought agreement to advance Swedens membership. The deal was reached after days of intensive meetings, and its poised to expand the alliances strength in Northern Europe. Rumors of the death of NATOs unity were greatly exaggerated,Ž White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters triumphantly on Tuesday. According to a joint statement issued when the deal was announced, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will ask Turkeys parliament to approve Sweden joining NATO.NATO chief says no timetable set for Ukraines membershipZelenskyy calls that absurd AP PHOTO/PAVEL GOLOVKINUkraines President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, second le ft, and Lithuanias President Gitanas Nauseda, second right, address the public during an event on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, Tuesday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday blasted as absurdŽ the absence of a timetable for his countrys membership in NATO, injecting harsh criticism into a gathering of the alliances leaders that was intended to showcase solidarity in the face of Russian aggression.

INDEX | Golf 14 | Cycling 14 | NFL 14 | Scoreboard 13Patrick Obley: Sports editor patrick.obley@yoursun.com By MATT BAKERTAMPA BAY TIMESAsk Billy Napier how he wants his Florida Gators to play, and he sounds like any other football coach. Eliminate turnovers. Create explosive plays. Win the rushing battle. Play complementary football with oense, defense and special teams working together to win a game. One issue: Napier isnt any other football coach. Hes the coach of the Gators, where fans dont just want to win. They want to win by lighting up the scoreboard, as Florida did with Steve Spurrier and Danny Wuerel, Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow. I love those days,Ž Napier said during the recent SEC spring meetings. Give me a Wuerel, “ve receivers that run 4.4 (seconds in the 40-yard dash), and lets go play.Ž Alas, barring a remarkable, immediate transformation by Graham Mertz or Jack Miller III, Napier does not have a Wuerel on his roster. And his receiving corps looks pedestrian by SEC standards. Napiers “rst season doesnt inspire much con“dence that hell lead an oensive renaissance in Gainesville. UF had a top-“ve pick (Anthony Richardson) at quarterback and scored only 29.5 points per game „ the second-worst “gure in Napiers eight seasons as a head coach or oensive coordinator. Its fair to wonder whether Billy Ball is compatible with the fanbases expectations. Napier thinks it is, once the talent level, schemes and organizational structure click. If we do those things ƒ if we evaluate well, we recruit well, we get good quarterback play, we get extremely fast and explosive skill players and were winning the turnover battle and were winning the explosive battle „ the points will add up, right?Ž Napier said. They did at Napiers last stop. His 2019 Ragin Cajuns ranked in the top 10 nationally in scoring (37.9 points Will Billy Ball work?Napiers scheme doesnt sound like Fun n Gun AP FILE PHOTO/PHELAN M. EBENHACKFlorida head coach Billy Napier, right, watches players warm up Oct. 2 before playing Eastern Washington in Gainesville. By EDUARDO A. ENCINATAMPA BAY TIMESBRANDON „ Lightning prospect Jack Thompson is right on track. Coming o his “rst professional season at AHL Syracuse, the defenseman feels like hes stronger and smarter. For many, the AHL is a crash course in physicality and speed of the game, and it can take time to perfect both. Thompson was pleased with how he tested in the weight room during the Lightnings development camp earlier this month, showing improvement everywhere, notably with his skating. But for Thompson, one of the best lessons he learned from his introduction to pro hockey was watching one of his older teammates graduate to an NHL contributor. Darren Raddysh is six years older than the 21-year-old Thompson. The Lightning were his third organization, so hes seen a lot more. But Thompson said that playing alongside Raddysh, a fellow right-shot defenseman, helped him understand what it takes to be successful in the AHL and earn a promotion to the NHL. Raddysh opened last season in Syracuse, was called up by the Lightning in March, then ended the season averaging 25 minutes a game in the playos. I think were similar sizes, and I think just how he positions himself in the defensive zone,Ž Thompson, the Lightnings third-round pick in 2020, said of Raddysh. We both arent going to run guys over, lets say, but I think hes really good with his stick. Hes really good at his body positioning. And then once he gets the puck, he has really good patience. ... And hes talked to me a lot. He still talks to me every day. Were pretty good buddies. And I thank him for that.Ž EXAMPLES ALL OVER Seeing is believing with greener players. Its no coincidence that when the Lightning hold their development camp every summer, stars like Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy also train at the same time. Brayden Point is there leaning up against the glass watching skill drills. Seeing is believing for Lightning prospects COLLEGE FOOTBALL TENNIS NHL By HOWARD FENDRICHAP TENNIS WRITERWIMBLEDON, England „ The last time Elina Svitolina was Grand Slam semi“nalist „ twice, actually, in 2019 „ she was pursuing the usual trappings of success in professional sports: trophies, money, fame, etc. Now Svitolina plays for more important reasons. For her daughter, Skaï, who was born in October. For her country, Ukraine, where a war that began with Russias invasion in February 2022 continues to this day. And Svitolina “rmly believes that those quite dierent factors actually do aect the way she swings a racket and the way she handles important moments on a tennis court. Enough so that she is one of the last four women remaining at Wimbledon after adding to her series of surprising victories over major champions with a 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2 victory against No. 1-ranked Iga Swiatek on Tuesday. War made me stronger and also made me mentally stronger. Mentally, I dont take dicult situations as, like, a disaster, you know? There are worse things in life.

She only returned to the tour three months ago. Also, because I just started to play again, I have dierent pressures,Ž Svitolina said after kneeling down, then covering her face with her hands, when Swiatek missed one last forehand at Centre Court. Of course, I want to win.

Louisianas statistics regressed slightly the next year, but he still “elded a top-30 scoring oense (33.6 points per game). Napier didnt have a stable of Jacquez Greens and Reidel Anthonys on that roster, either. He did, however, have great running backs. His 2019 back“eld had three players who have spent time in the NFL: Elijah Mitchell was the 49ers leading rusher in 2021, Raymond Calais was a Bucs seventh-round pick in 2020, and Trey Ragas has been with the Rams and Raiders. Together, they fueled the nations No. 6 rushing attack; Mitchell and Ragas led a top-25 run game the next year, too. Napier appears to be building the Gators similarly. Floridas oensive strengths last year were a solid oensive line and a pair of talented running backs, Montrell Johnson and Trevor Etienne. That “ts one of Napiers stated oensive goals, winning the ground game. Will that be enough to win over Florida supporters? The question is relevant because of the unique nature of this fan base. Jim McElwain won the SEC East in each of his “rst two seasons but was chewed up in Year 3 partially because of fans frustrations with his ugly oenses. His successor, Dan Mullen, knew from his time as UFs oensive coordinator that victories werent always enough. During his “rst spring as head coach, he reminisced about how fans reacted if the team hadnt scored four touchdowns by halftime. There were people telling me I was No. 1,Ž Mullen said. Dierent “ngers.Ž Those “ngers waved goodbye to him in 2021 because his entertaining oenses couldnt overshadow a historically bad defense and subpar recruiting. The last point is key. Though Napier developed overlooked prospects into Sun Belt standouts at Louisiana „ lightly recruited quarterback Levi Lewis threw a school-record 74 passing touchdowns under Napier „ hell need more than three-star recruits to put up 40 points per game or win titles in the SEC. He is starting to win the recruiting battles necessary to make that happen. The Gators 2023 class featured three blue-chip receivers, including speedsters Aidan Mizell and Andy Jean. Florida has non-binding oral commitments from “ve-star quarterback DJ Lagway, one of the nations top tight ends (Amir Jackson) and a pair of four-star receivers (IMG Academys Jerrae Hawkins and Carrollwood Days Izaiah Williams). Napiers rushing history suggests his Gators will prob ably nev er be as wide open as Spurriers Fun n Gun. But he has shown that Billy Ball can pile on points in a dierently entertaining fashion. One Florida fans can prob ably embrace „ as long as the wins come, too.BILLYFROM PAGE 11ABeing around champion players serves as an added layer of motivation. While the development camp includes weight room testing, skills and skating drills, and 3-on-3 competitions, the “lm study work that prospects do is equally important. They watch how players like Point improved his skating to become an elite goal scorer, and they analyze their own “lm year over year to see their progress. I had a few discussions with the younger guys and you can de“nitely see, you know, theyre looking up to guys, all these guys have been through the system,Ž said Lightning player development director J.P. Cote. You can tell theyre really good at their craft, and the drills we throw at them, theyre doing a good job at it. Its motivating for the kids. Theyre younger guys, for sure, just because theyre looking up, they see, OK, thats what I need to get to the pro level, the AHL and then the NHL. And then whats fun, you have guys around. Kucherov is practicing with other guys. Vasy is here. So it feels like its a family feeling.Ž The camp week begins with skating coach Barb Underhill recording players strides with an iPad. The tablets are all over the ice at the TGH IcePlex early on in camp, positioned by the bench to record goaltenders and even at center ice for a broader view of drills. Ultimately, the goal is to use video to point out strengths and weaknesses, then show players their progress by putting clips side by side. Sometimes theyre not just even clips of top players in the NHL, its about them,Ž said new AHL Syracuse Crunch coach Joel Bouchard. Its about seeing something that you might think you know, but then you see it from a dierent angle and then you just need that to click sometimes. ... It doesnt lie. AN OPEN CONVERSATION Bouchard, a well-regarded player development coach in the junior and AHL ranks, said the video starts a conversation with each player. Camp was capped by players having exit interviews with coaches and sta. I think 2023 is an open conversation,Ž Bouchard said. Sometimes its where the player takes you. ... Its about working together, putting the standard to a certain level and then when you can validate and show something thats tangible, then it makes it easier for everybody to see where we are trying to be. ... Its a generation that wants to be part of the process, and we have to include them. We have to respect how they see it from their perspective, and then come to an understanding.Ž Players attending the camp come in at varying places in their careers, from 18-year-old draftees to players in junior ranks and college hockey to pros in the ECHL and AHL. Forward Dylan Duke, the Lightnings fourth-round pick in 2021, was attending his third development camp. The Lightning think highly of him, and as he enters his third college season at Michigan, they have seen him make strides every year. He was one of the top players in camp this month and he credited the Lightning for helping him make major strides with his skating. Its de“nitely important to be able to see visuals of myself and then also learn from seeing videos of other guys,Ž Duke said. Im a visual learner, so to see that stu, to kind of be able to see from past couple years my stride progress, I think its de“nitely getting better but something that Ive got to keep working on. I think Im a lot more powerful, my mechanics are better but nothings perfect, so Im just gonna keep working at it every day every summer. Just trying to be the best I can be.Ž The Lightning have a strong player development reputation, and if they want to see how quickly they can progress, they only need to look to last summers roster, which included Nick Perbix. Despite not making the opening night roster, Perbix played 69 games for the Lightning and ended the season with Victor Hedman in the teams top defenseman pairing. I think players are smart in 2023,Ž Bouchard said. They realize what they need to work on. They realize what the future will look like for them. So its just to guide them through it and give them all the tools, and this is one thing this organization has done very well over the years.ŽPROSPECTSFROM PAGE 11A Golf Golf DIRECTORYCOURSES The Palms697-8118The Links 697-8877The Hills 697-2414 Long Marsh 698-0918 SeminoleLakes CountryClub Open tothe Public1/2milesouthofBurntStoreRd. onUS41inPuntaGorda941-639-5440www.seminolelakes.netBestValueinS.W.Florida9or18Holes CallRichelle941-240-5100NorthPort5301Heron CreekBlvd. PracticeFacility MembershipSpecialadno=3896612-1 PlaceYourAdHerePleaseCall941-429-3110 TWINISLESCC AcceptingNonMemberPlay WhileWeFillOurRoster 1Month FREEDues Callfor Details301MadridBlvd.,PuntaGorda 941-637-1232ext.421€www.twinislescc.orgChampionshipGolfCourseGolf,Seasonal,Tennis&SocialMemberships €Sa veon G reen F ee sa ndC a r tatT o pA re a Co u r s e s i n S o uthw e sta ndCen t r a l F lor i d a . €P r im e T ee Tim e s-U nl imit ed P l ay-N oBook i n gF ee s €Paysf or Its el fi n3 R o u nd s or L e ss! €P l ayi n Th eB igM one yT o u rSM€P r i v at eCl ubP l ayDat e sa nd T o u rn am en ts EndlessSummer!SavingsAllYear! 2023 R eferaFriend* E arly S eason PriceOR*Referafriendandyoubothgetacardfor$40 each.AneligiblefriendissomeonewhoHAS NOThadtheBigSummerGolfCardincalendar years2021and2022.Restrictionsapply.BUYONLINEat www.bigsummergolf.comMakesureyouSIGNUPFOREMAIL NOTIFICATIONStoget thelatestdeals,news andspecialoffersMUSTCALLTHEOFFICE forthisoffer941-923-2232 or800-391-3665 4 F 4 $ $

I look at the things a bit dierently.Ž She received a wild-card entry from the All England Club to get into the “eld and now will face another unseeded player, 42nd-ranked Marketa Vondrousova, for a berth in Saturdays “nal. Vondrousova, the 2019 French Open runner-up, beat fourth-seeded Jessica Pegula 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 by grabbing the last “ve games after being a point from trailing 5-1 in the last set at No. 1 Court. Pegula dropped to 0-6 in major quarter“nals. I dont know what happened,Ž the left-handed Vondrousova said. Both womens matches Tuesday were interrupted when rain arrived and the courts roofs were shut so play could continue. Swiatek used the break to animatedly chat with her sports psychologist, who was up in the stands, then headed toward an o-court lounge to huddle with her coach. None of that helped her “gure out what was wrong with her spin-heavy forehand, which accounted for 57 total errors „ 28 unforced, 29 forced „ and 22 winners. Swiatek, who was coming o claiming her fourth Grand Slam title at the French Open last month, felt the change in the way Svitolina smacked balls over the Centre Court net. That included a stretch where Svitolina won 20 of 22 points during a stretch that spanned the end of the “rst set and start of the second. She played with more freedom and more guts. Sometimes, she really just let go of her hand,Ž Swiatek said, pantomiming a forehand, and she played really, really fast.Ž Novak Djokovic reached his 46th Slam semi“nal „ tying Roger Federers record for men „ by defeating No. 7 Andrey Rublev 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3, and next will face No. 8 Jannik Sinner. Djokovic is seeking a “fth consecutive championship at Wimbledon and an eighth overall „ numbers that also would equal Federer „ and his 24th career Grand Slam trophy. Sinner made it to his “rst major semi“nal by eliminating Roman Sa“ullin 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. It means a lot me,Ž Sinner said. We put a lot of work in „ many, many hours o court, a lot of sacri“ce „ for this moment.Ž Svitolina certainly did not expect to still be around this deep into the fortnight. She originally wasnt even planning to get back in action after giving birth until around now. But she and Mon“ls started working out together on Jan. 2, and Svitolinas progress was substantial enough that she altered her timeline. Good call. She added the win against Swiatek to those against seven-time major champion Venus Williams in the “rst round, 2020 Australian Open winner So“a Kenin in the third, and two-time Australian Open champ Victoria Azarenka in the fourth. There is de“nitely a sense of urgency with all of this. Its less years that I have in front than behind me. I have to go for it. I dont have time to lose anymore. I dont know how many years I will be playing,Ž Svitolina said. You practice for these moments, for these big moments.Ž And for the kinds of moments that come after she leaves the court. On Tuesday, Svitolina FaceTimed with Skaï, who is at home in Monte Carlo with Mon“ls and the new grandparents. She was really distracted with her ice cream, so I was not the priority there,Ž Svitolina said. She is still at this age when she doesnt care if I win, if I lose.Ž There are, naturally, those who do care. A lot. Svitolinas phone has been inundated by messages of support from her her native country, and shes seen videos of kids there following her matches. This really makes my heart melt, seeing this,Ž she said. Just happy I could bring a little happiness to the people of Ukraine.ŽWIMBLEDONFROM PAGE 11A NATIONAL SCOREBOARD BASEBALLMLB AMERICAN LEAGUEEast Division W L Pct GB Tampa Bay 58 35 .624 _ Baltimore 54 35 .607 2 Toronto 50 41 .549 7 New York 49 42 .538 8 Boston 48 43 .527 9Central Division W L Pct GB Cleveland 45 45 .500 _ Minnesota 45 46 .495 ½ Detroit 39 50 .438 5½ Chicago 38 54 .413 8 Kansas City 26 65 .286 19½West Division W L Pct GB Texas 52 39 .571 _ Houston 50 41 .549 2 Seattle 45 44 .506 6 Los Angeles 45 46 .495 7 Oakland 25 67 .272 27½ NATIONAL LEAGUEEast Division W L Pct GB Atlanta 60 29 .674 _ Miami 53 39 .576 8½ Philadelphia 48 41 .539 12 New York 42 48 .467 18½ Washington 36 54 .400 24½Central Division W L Pct GB Cincinnati 50 41 .549 _ Milwaukee 49 42 .538 1 Chicago 42 47 .472 7 Pittsburgh 41 49 .456 8½ St. Louis 38 52 .422 11½West Division W L Pct GB Los Angeles 51 38 .573 _ Arizona 52 39 .571 _ San Francisco 49 41 .544 2½ San Diego 43 47 .478 8½ Colorado 34 57 .374 18Tuesdays GameAll-Star Game: AL (TBD) vs NL (TBD) at Seattle, 8 p.m.BASKETBALLWNBA EASTERN CONFERENCE W L Pct GB New York 13 4 .765 „ Connecticut 14 5 .737 „ Washington 11 8 .579 3 Atlanta 10 8 .556 3½ Chicago 8 11 .421 6 Indiana 5 14 .263 9WESTERN CONFERENCE W L Pct GB Las Vegas 17 2 .895 „ Dallas 10 9 .526 7 Minnesota 9 10 .474 8 Los Angeles 7 12 .368 10 Phoenix 4 14 .222 12½ Seattle 4 15 .211 13Tuesdays GamesWashington 93, Seattle 86 Phoenix at Las Vegas, 10 p.m.Wednesdays GamesConnecticut at Chicago, 12 p.m. New York at Indiana, 12 p.m. Dallas at Minnesota, 1 p.m. Seattle at Atlanta, 7 p.m. Las Vegas at Los Angeles, 10 p.m.CYCLINGTour de France Tuesday 10th Stage 167.2 kilometers (103.8 miles) from Vulcania to Issoire1.

PAGE 14A WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By ROB MAADDIAP PRO FOOTBALL WRITERDeAndre Hopkins and Dalvin Cook lead a list of accomplished players who are still available a week before several NFL teams open training camp. Hopkins, the three-time All-Pro wide receiver, became a free agent when Arizona released him in May. He visited the Tennessee Titans and has talked to the New England Patriots. The 31-year-old Hopkins, a “ve-time Pro Bowl pick, could be waiting for a Super Bowl contender to make an oer. Hed “t in nicely with Patrick Mahomes and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs if they could “nd a way to pay him. Cook, a four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook, was released by the Minnesota Vikings in June after six seasons. He has plenty of suitors, including his hometown Miami Dolphins. The New York Jets and Denver Broncos are among other teams with strong interest in the 27-year-old Cook. Here are 10 more free agents who previously have had plenty of success in the NFL: EZEKIEL ELLIOTT: The three-time Pro Bowl running back ran for 876 yards and 12 touchdowns while averaging a career-low 3.8 yards per carry for Dallas last season. Elliott still could return to the Cowboys, who got 1,007 yards rushing from Tony Pollard last season. JADEVEON CLOWNEY: The former No. 1 overall pick is seeking his “fth team in six years. A three-time Pro Bowl defensive end, Clowney had two sacks last season in Cleveland after getting nine in 2021. YANNICK NGAKOUE: The 28-year-old defensive end is an ideal “t for any team that needs a pass rush specialist. Ngakoue has had at least eight sacks in each of his seven seasons in the NFL. He had 9 1/2 last season for the Colts after tallying 10 in 2021 with Las Vegas. MARCUS PETERS: Peters, a ball-hawking, two-time All-Pro cornerback, is coming o a subpar season in Baltimore, but hes two years removed from an ACL injury and provides an experienced playmaker for a team that needs help in pass coverage. JUSTIN HOUSTON: At 34, Houston may be past his prime, but he had 9 1/2 sacks last season for the Ravens. The four-time Pro Bowl edge could spark a defense as a rotational player. CARSON WENTZ: His MVP-caliber 2017 season in Philadelphia is a distant memory, and hes looking for his fourth team in four years. Wentz got booted out of Indianapolis after a 2021 season in which he threw 27 TD passes and had just seven interceptions. He struggled in an injury-shortened year with Washington in 2022 and has run out of opportunities as a starter. JOHN JOHNSON: The veteran safety has started 80 games in his six-year career, missing only two games over the past three seasons. He had 101 tackles last season for Cleveland. The versatile Johnson has “lled several roles in the defensive back“eld and should “nd a new home, perhaps Green Bay, before the season starts. LEONARD FOURNETTE: Playo LennyŽ helped Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win the Super Bowl a few years ago, but he averaged just 3.5 yards per carry behind a mediocre oensive line last season. The bruising runner may have to wait for a team that loses a couple running backs to injuries. KAREEM HUNT: Hes far removed from his 2017 rookie season in which he ran for 1,327 yards for the Chiefs, but Hunt is a versatile back who would provide depth. He may be a “t in Washington where he would reunite with former Chiefs oensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and play behind Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson. DALTON RISNER: A left guard who started 62 games in four seasons in Denver, Risner shouldnt be unemployed too far into camp. Hes a strong pass blocker and a potential “t for the Chargers or Vikings.Hopkins, Cook lead remaining free agents AP FILE PHOTO/ROSS D.

DeAndre Hopkins and Dalvin Cook lead a list of accomplished players who are still available a week before several NFL teams open training camp.NFL GOLF CYCLING By BEN NUCKOLSAP SPORTS WRITERWASHINGTON „ Saudi Arabias sovereign wealth fund has agreed to invest more than $1 billion in a new commercial entity controlled by the PGA Tour, and Greg Norman will be ousted as the CEO of LIV Golf if the business deal between the Saudis and the tour is “nalized, a tour executive told Congress on Tuesday. The agreement between the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the primary funder of LIV Golf, and the PGA Tour shocked the golf world when it was announced last month and led to probes by the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which summoned tour ocials to the Capitol to testify under oath, and the Justice Department, which is looking into potential antitrust violations. Among the subcommittees “ndings were that representatives of the tour and the Saudis discussed giving Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy their own LIV Golf teams, a proposal that apparently never reached either player. There was no indication during Tuesdays hearing that Congress would block the tour from going into business with the Saudis. The subcommittee chairman, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said he was troubled by the geopolitical implications of Saudi investment in American sports and eorts by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi leader, to whitewash the kingdoms human rights abuses. However, Republicans on the committee were more sympathetic to the PGA Tour and the existential threat it faced from the PIF, which controls $600 billion in assets „ roughly 500 times what the tour is worth. Were here because were concerned about what it means for an authoritarian government to use its wealth to capture an American institution,Ž Blumenthal said. The PGA Tour and the Saudis announced on June 6 that they agreed to drop all lawsuits against each other and combine their commercial interests into a new for-pro“t company while maintaining the tours nonpro“t status. Asked by Blumenthal how much money the Saudis have committed to the new venture, Ron Price, the PGA Tours chief operating ocer, testi“ed the amount was north of $1 billion.Ž Blumenthal repeatedly pressed Price and Jimmy Dunne, a PGA Tour board member and a key negotiator of the Saudi deal, on why the tour did not seek alternative sources of funding to compete with the PIF. Price and Dunne said going into business with outside investors would not prevent LIV Golf and the PIF from continuing to compete with the tour and use its vast resources to sign top players. My entire concern here is to put this divisive period behind us, and for the sake of players, fans, sponsors and charities, unite the game of golf again,Ž said Dunne, a New York investment banker who is well connected with the sports leaders. Critics of the Saudi investment in golf have pointed to the kingdoms poor human rights record and the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which U.S. intelligence concluded was likely approved by the crown prince, an allegation he denies. The PIF has bought its way into other sports including soccer „ it owns Newcastle United of the English Premier League „ and Formula One racing. There is something that stinks about this path that youre on right now because it is a surrender, and it is all about the money, and that is the reason for the backlash that youre seeing, Mr. Price,Ž Blumenthal said. The equity ownership interest that the Saudis will have ... gives them “nancial dominance. They control the purse strings.Ž But Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a harsh critic of the Saudi regime, said Congress should not interfere with a private enterprise doing business with the Saudis. He proposed instead that the U.S. reduce arms sales to Saudi Arabia. And the committees ranking member, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., suggested that Saudi involvement in sports ultimately could improve human rights in the kingdom. If the kingdoms involvement in golf and other sports helps it to modernize or oer rights to women, wouldnt that be a good thing?Ž Johnson said. Blumenthal pressed Dunne and Price to pledge that PGA Tour players would be free to criticize the Saudi regime if the deal is completed. Both said they would not recommend that the tours policy board approve any deal that includes such restrictions on speech.Saudi investment in PGA Tour will top $1 billion ASSOCIATED PRESSISSOIRE, France „ It was an emotional „ and costly „ “rst win at the Tour de France for Pello Bilbao on Tuesday. The Spanish cyclist sprinted to victory at the end of the tricky 10th stage and also gained signi“cant time in the overall standings, which are still led by Jonas Vingegaard. Bilbao raised his arms above his head in celebration at the end of one of the hardest stages of the Tour so far, “nishing the undulating 167-kilometer (104-mile) route from Vulcania to Issoire just ahead of Georg Zimmermann and Ben OConnor in the sweltering heat of central France. The Bahrain-Victorious rider immediately dedicated his win to former teammate and friend Gino Mäder, who died last month from injuries suered in a crash at the Tour de Suisse. I closed the gap with OConnor “rst and then, with cold blood, let Zimmermann make his sprint, go on the wheel and just (went) full the last 200 meters without thinking of nothing,Ž Bilbao said. And then I crossed the line and I just put out all the energy that I had inside and remembering the reason of this victory. A special one, for Gino.Ž Bilbao had announced preTour that he would be following in the actions of Mäder, by donating one Euro for every rider he beats on each stage toward funding to replant trees in areas of deforestation. He beat 168 riders on Tuesday. Most of the overall contenders “nished just over three minutes further back and that saw Bilbao move up from 11th to “fth, less than two minutes o the podium. Defending champion Vingegaard maintained his 17-second advantage over two-time winner Tadej Pogaar. Jai Hindley was in third place, 2 minutes, 40 seconds o the pace. After the “rst rest day on Monday, the Tour kicked o the second week with a dicult stage featuring “ve categorized climbs and almost no ”at sections. The soaring temperatures were made even more brutal by the heat re”ecting o the roads. It was relentless from the start and many riders were clearly suering. But eventually a break of 14 formed. Krists Neilands looked like one of the strongest of the 14 and he attacked on the “nal climb, crossing the Côte de la Chapelle-Marcousse with a 30-second advantage. However, he was chased down by Bilbao on the descent and caught with just over 3 kilometers remaining. Everybody was on the limit, Neilands did an impressive attack,Ž Bilbao said. I think he was the strongest one, but he spent a lot of energy with the hot wind in the face. In the back group, we just collaborated in the right way and then in the last 3 kilometers I knew that (I) was the fastest man in the group, so I just took the control.Ž Neilands eventually “nished in fourth for Israel-Premier Tech. It was a really tough stage,Ž Neilands said. It was hard, it was hot, but it was great to be there on the road and we did a really good race as a team and we were always there in the moves and I think we raced really good and we did the maximum we could do today and it just didnt work out.Ž OConnor was the “rst to attack as he knew the sprint didnt suit him but Bilbao was straight on him, with Zimmermann swiftly catching up. But Bilbao launched his sprint o Zimmermanns wheel and held him and OConnor o for the win. I hadnt experienced such a day on a bike for a while,Ž OConnor said. The start of the stage was absolutely brutal. Im really happy to have managed to get into the breakaway after such a battle. With the heat, you had to stay focused at all times and not crack mentally. Even if I was o the back a bit, I always believed in it. In the last kilometers, I tried to maneuver as well as possible to try to escape my breakaway companions and win the stage. I didnt manage it so Im de“nitely a little disappointed.ŽBilbao sprints to first Tour de France stage win AP PHOTO/DANIEL COLESpains Pelle Bilbao crosses the nish line Tuesday to win the tenth stage of the Tour de France cycling race over 167 kilometers (104 miles) with start in Vulcania and nish in Issoire, France.

Robert K. Moreno, 58, was charged with felony battery, false imprisonment along with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon without intent to kill. According to his arrest adavit, Moreno was staying in a home in the 18600 block of Goodman Circle. Moreno had some relationship to the alleged victim, though the exact description was redacted on the report. Around midnight Monday, Moreno allegedly attempted to enter the victims bedroom by banging on the door. He was described as heavily intoxicated and belligerent.Ž The complainant attempted to leave the house, but Moreno allegedly grabbed him by the arm and physically pulled him back inside. According to the report, Moreno began to punch him and threw him against an interior door. Moreno then allegedly grabbed two knives from the residences kitchen and held them against his own body, while threatening to kill the complainant if he tried to leave again. The victim advised the suspect came out of the bedroom and began hitting him in the face again multiple times repeating: if you leave, Ill kill you,Ž the report states. The complainant managed to escape from the residence, according to the report, and drove himself to Fawcett Memorial Hospital. A member of the sta contacted law enforcement. Deputies noted a doctor at the hospital said that the complainants injuries were life-threateningŽ due to a pre-existing condition, with a specialist being needed to further diagnose the patient. He was subsequently admitted to an intensive care unit for treatment. Moreno was later arrested at a trac stop near the intersection of Brazil Avenue and Talheim Street, then brought to a district ocer to be interviewed. Deputies allege he made sworn recorded confessionŽ after being read his Miranda warning. Moreno is being held at Charlotte County Jail without bond. He is due to appear in court on Aug. 14.

Compiled by Frank DiFiorePOLICE BEAT STAFF REPORTPUNTA GORDA „ A Port Charlotte man was convicted Tuesday of traf“cking fentanyl, among other drug charges. A two-day trial ended with a guilty verdict for Daymond David Nolte, according to the State Attorneys Oce. Nolte was convicted of sale or delivery of a controlled substance; two counts of possession of a controlled substance; transportation of drug paraphernalia; unlawful use of a two-way communication device, tracking in dangerous fentanyl or fentanyl analogues; and possession of a controlled substance with intent. In August 2021, Nolte sold fentanyl and methamphetamine to law enforcement and a con“dential informant in the garage of a Port Charlotte home. Inside the garage were various drugs and paraphernalia, including plastic baggies and a digital scale that he used during the transaction. The Charlotte County Sheris Oce Narcotics Unit arrested him at a Ramsdel Street home. At the time, authorities estimated the value of the fentanyl found inside the home was $10,000. Assistant State Attorney Scott Patterson prosecuted the case.Jury convicts man of fentanyl trafficking NOLTE By FRANK DIFIORESTAFF WRITERPORT CHARLOTTE „ A North Port man was arrested after allegedly stabbing a woman over an argument in a supermarket in June. Jammacar Rodkesh Gayle, 38, was charged with one count of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after being arrested Monday. Charlotte County Sheris deputies allege Gayle was seen on the camera system at Milan Supermarket on Tamiami Trail, accompanying his ex-wife and their three children on a shopping trip. The video footage allegedly shows Gayle and his ex-wife arguing with another woman about the behavior of the children. The argument and subsequent physical encounters seem to involve just the two women at “rst on the footage. Gayles ex-wife pushes the complainant, who then pushes back, which leads to Gayle stepping up to the complainant. After the complainant allegedly pushes him into a meat cooler, Gayle then appears to grab a cast iron pan and swing it at the complainant. However, one of his children grabs the pan out of his hands. Gayle then allegedly took an 8-inch knife out of its packaging and attacks the complainant with it. According to the report, he then left the store with the knife in his hand and drove away in his ex-wifes vehicle. Witness statements in the arrest adavit appeared to corroborate the video footage that deputies described. One worker said he recognized both parties as regular customers and attempted to separate them when the argument started. Another customer told deputies that she had attempted to dissuade the complainant from confronting Gayles family. Later on, she heard a commotion from the back of the store and said she saw Gayle leaving the scene with the knife in his hand. According to the adavit, the complainant was found bleeding profuselyŽ from her head and her abdomen „ both locations where the knife had been waved at on the video footage. Patrol units observed a laceration to the victims left scalp, above her ear, and a large open gash across the victims abdomen,Ž the adavit read. The injured complainant was transported from the scene and ”own to Gulf Coast Medical Center for treatment. Medical sta later told law enforcement that the complainants injuries were signi“cant,Ž but would be repairableŽ with a recovery in time. Gayle and his ex-wife were later identi“ed by CCSO through vehicle and photo records. A search warrant of Gayles residence allegedly resulted in the discovery of the knife used in the alleged battery. Gayle was subsequently arrested and transported to Charlotte County Jail on July 10; that same day, he was released on $50,000 bond. He is due to return to court on Aug. 14.

For more information on the ”ights, visit Allegiant. com.AIRPORTFROM PAGE 1BWe “gured with the property, we should be having a farmers market and we can cater to some of these local vendors.Ž During the fall and winter and into May, Englewood has a larger farmers market on and around West Dearborn Street. But during the summer o-season, they take a break. Local small businesses just starting o rely on all-season markets to get their feet in the door and sell their wares. Its really important for them to have somewhere, and it may not be as busy or generate a lot of money, but its somewhere to go nonetheless,Ž Brown said. The Open Studios summer farmers market is currently in its fourth week of operation. Brown explained that vendors rotate in and out, so every week is a little dierent than the last. Weve had nine vendors here at once,Ž Brown said. I think the word is getting around.Ž A farmers market wouldnt be a farmers market without produce, which is something the Open Studio makes sure to have every week. Beyond that, theres usually a good variety of local crafts and specialty items like edible fungus and artists works. We have a woman that does stained-glass mosaics that are really nice,Ž Brown said. She has really big pieces like tables and planters.Ž Brown talked about how theres something for everyone, whether youre looking to spend a lot, or just get a little gift for someone. Vendors can “ll out an application if theyre interested in participating. A $25 fee is charged for a booth. LOVE FOR COOKIES One of the booths there Thursday was Love for Cookies, which specializes in bread and several dierent types of cookies. The Focaccia bread Larisa Garcia makes is a commonplace tradition in Italy, speci“cally Rome. This is my “rst market and I made some dierent types of focaccia,Ž Garcia said. I made one with tomatoes from my garden and olives too.Ž Focaccia is a ”at leavened oven-baked bread that can be made with several dierent types of ingredients that are embedded. Tomatoes and rosemary are a very common ingredient. Theres no eggs or dairy in the focaccia I make,Ž Garcia said. Larisa also makes fresh loaves of bread with various nuts and seeds in them. She likes to provide a variety of both healthy and indulgent breads. I also make traditional German breads,Ž Garcia said. This one has nuts, oatmeal, olive oil and salt in it and its very dense.Ž Garcia said all of her recipes come from her own traditions and research. Reach out to Garcia at luv4kuki@gmail.com. HELP JEWELRY Suzy Shelhamer makes her own hemp jewelry as a fun hobby. She comes to these farmers markets to mingle with other vendors and enjoy the vibes, but today she decided to become a vendor herself. Ive been learning hemp jewelry since my teens and I got sick of seeing the typical hemp patterns so I just decided to try it out,Ž Shelhamer said. Hemp jewelry is characterized by its braiding patterns similar to braiding hair. Shelhamer was a hairstylist for a long time before deciding to make jewelry. Im thinking in hair when I make these,Ž Shelhamer said. This is all just three, four, “ve, six and eight strand braiding and crochet knots.Ž Shelhamer explained that the whole process is fun and meditative. I moved here from Colorado and theres a bead store that I liked there,Ž Shelhamer said. I bought a whole bunch of them and took them with me when I came down here.Ž Shelhamer oers necklaces, bracelets, dog leashes and freeform plant holders that can be hung up on a wall. CHUCOS Angie Banuelos has been serving authentic Mexican food the El PasoŽ way just like her family since the 1800s. She comes to these farmers markets to provide samples. Im from El-Paso Texas and all my seasonings are sent in from small companies in Mexico,Ž Banuelos said. I like my ingredients to be locally sourced like my produce and meats.Ž All of Banuelos recipes are traditional family recipes passed down from generation to generation. Its all traditional food I grew up eating and my family owns restaurants in Texas so were a very prominent family in El-Paso,Ž Banuelos said. My familys recipes have been around since the mid 1800s.Ž Chucos oers a variety of dierent traditional style Mexican food every Thursday.

Nature and history have woven a tapestry along the old Seaboard Air Line Railway „ now The Legacy Trail. In 1911, Laurel Parks location was on the fringe of thousands of acres of longleaf pine ”atlands. The Seaboard Air Line Railway passed nearby on its way to the emerging Venice. Why did a railroad have AirlineŽ in its name? The “rst use of airline as it is known today did not come into being until 1914 when the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line commenced its 23-minute ”ight from St. Petersburg to Tampa. Early railroads in the United States used airlineŽ to convey the shortest route between two points „ as the crow ”ies. The Seaboard As The Crow Flies Railroad would be awkward. Lets return to those longleaf pines, mostly gone. They produced a gummy substance during their six-month growing season. Laurel Turpentine Company set up a 500-gallon still near Laurel Park to produce turpentine and resin, also known as pine tar, from the gum. Turpentine was used to make varnish and paint, as a soap ingredient, and today is part of the Vicks VapoRub formula. The pine tar was used to seal seams in wooden ships. Current-day Venice was mostly pine ”atlands that were used for harvesting turpentine. After eight years, the pines were turpentined-out.Ž Then the timber rights to those acres were sold to lumber companies to be clearcut. At the same time, Florida real estate was getting hot, hot, hot! Hasnt changed much in 112 years. The Seaboard Airline Railway was bringing folks to Florida to buy land. If the railway was hauling pine products, fruit and vegetables out, why not haul potential buyers in? Present day Laurel Park was known back then as Laurel quarters because it housed 500 African American residents who worked in the turpentine, and later the lumber industry. Many of the residents were sons and daughters of former slaves with their children working by their sides. A historical marker describes Laurels turpentine/timber past. But you will have to go 1.1 miles south on The Legacy Trail to see it, just before the Trail crosses Colonia Road. Today, the area known as Laurel and its Park and Community Center are greater than the sum of its natural and historied parts. The Sarasota County Department of Parks, Natural Resources and Recreation manages the Park. Laurel is a place that embraces its African American past while demonstrating a place without color today. This is most evident in the Sandra Sims Terry Community Center, which serves as the Laurel Civic Agency headquarters. Laurel Civic brings its African American legacy into todays civic and social context. But lets consider the community garden, trails, playgrounds and pickleball courts “rst. Paved trails twist through the park, giving folks access to three playgrounds where kids can imagine themselves as pirates, circus performers or mountain climbers. If a more grown-up playground is needed, try the 10-station “tness trail from The Legacy Trails entrance to the parking lot; or the pickleball or tennis or basketball courts. If you just want to hang out under the spreading live oaks, “nd a bench that looks onto one of the playgrounds or the large pond, people-proofed for alligator observers. Or you might see the mockingbirds, blue jays and cardinals strut and ”ick their colors. There are several picnic tables ready for families to spend a day in the quiet surroundings just several hundred yards from fast-paced Laurel Road. My last visit to Laurel Park was by bike, departing from The Legacy Trail. I meandered the trails, taking in Laurels diversity. In the distance I spotted a tall, fenced area. Next to it were large bins neatly labeled Topsoil and Mulch. Laurel has one of Sarasotas “rst community gardens. Within the high fence were poles, for what? What else, pole beans. The years tomato crop was winding down, and plants were being removed for the next seasonal crop or to take a nap until the next tomato season. Each plot, rented by a county resident, had its unique signature look. Some added marigolds, zinnias, daisies, or celosias to frame the vegetable still life. Some used netting instead of poles for plants to reach for the sun. Other renters were vigorously attacking the emerging spring weeds. The plot users were talking plants; exchanging tips to ward o the rabbits and squirrels intent on collecting their daily tribute; or perhaps debating the Tampa Rays chances this year. I mentioned the Sandra Sims Terry Center. It is named after Sims Terry, a lifelong resident of Laurel. She recorded an oral history presentation for the Sarasota County New College. In it she traced her family back to the turpentine days and before. Sandra Sims Terry felt it all: her parents and grandparents stories of rural poverty. Her own recollections are of the black-only Venice Rexall soda fountain and drinking fountains; trips to the black-only Caspersen Beach; her 1961 integration into the Venice High School; and “nally her vision of Laurel, which would be unimaginable in her parents time. Color was a well-de“ned boundary. She blurred, maybe even obliterated, that boundary in the new Laurel. Here is an excerpt from her oral history presentation: .. I dont do colors. I dont see people in color. The program is prob ably the most diverse program in the county, because we dont see anybody in color. Youre just a human being, and if you see kids around here, they dont see color. They know they are coming to a safe place ...Ž Today, her vision has been handed o to the next generation. The Laurel Civic Association was formed by members of the Laurel community in 1969. Today it is known as the Laurel Civic Agency. No matter the name, it helps low income and at-risk children and their families by oering no costŽ after-school homework and reading assistance and the Kids Café where evening meals are provided. Summer reading programs are available, and kids are taught life skills such as personal hygiene, etiquette, money management, and career possibilities. Career site “eld trips reinforce this exposure. That is 54 years of where the rubber meets the roadŽ volunteerism. Many of Laurel Civics volunteers are retired educators from area churches and homeowner associations. You can learn more about what you can do as a volunteer or as a “nancial contributor by emailing empower@laurelcivic. net or by calling 941-483-3338. How do you get out of Natures Notebook and step into the park? Laurel Road is fast-becoming Venice North. If you are traveling east on Laurel Road, just before The Legacy Trail overpass, turn right onto Forrest Street and follow the signs. Or, if you happen to be walking or biking The Legacy Trail, the parks trail entrance is about 50 yards south of The Legacy Trails overpass.

PAGE 6B WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comOUR VIEWWish lists for Ian funding will be extensiveOUR POSITION: Charlotte and DeSoto counties have to wait their turn while Sarasota County begins drafting plans to spend $201 million in disaster relief funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.Sarasota County has no lack of ideas how to spend the $201.5 million its been awarded for hurricane recovery projects. What does get funded and how much goes to Venice and North Port is the question. Meanwhile, DeSoto and Charlotte counties are lining up their potential spending priorities while they wait to see how much money might come their way. Sarasota got the jump „ along with three other Florida counties „ on others because it is deemed an entitlement county based on population size. Those counties, which include Orange, Lee and Volusia, get money directly from Floridas federal allocation while other counties must wait for the state to issue community development block grants. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced that Florida would receive Community Development Block Grant „ Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding to support long-term resiliency and mitigation eorts following Hurricane Ian. Florida Department of Economic Opportunity is responsible for administering these funds. DEO will review each countys request and dole out funds accordingly. The priority will be projects that will support long-term resiliency and mitigation eorts following the two hurricanes that impacted the area in 2022. DeSoto County spokesperson Sara Walker said the DEO will take comments from the public before it makes any decision on block grant funding. DeSoto and Charlotte are among 20 counties identi“ed as the most impacted and distressed because of hurricane damage. DEO is currently developing a draft of the State Action Plan for Disaster Recovery with input from state and community partners, as well as citizens, to determine the remaining long-term resiliency needs. The amount of funding has not been determined for each county. Walker said in an email that a Local Mitigation Strategy (organized by our Emergency Management department) group is required to maintain a list of needsŽ that will be submitted for funding. Charlotte is following similar procedures. Some of the long-term recovery projects that have been documented are potentially eligible and Department of Economic Opportunities is doing a workshop ... for public input (on funding needs),Ž Brian Gleason, Charlotte County communications manager said in an email. DEO has to submit a work plan to HUD for the money and once that is done well have a better idea of how this will all roll out.Ž The “rst Charlotte County workshop is planned for 2 p.m., Friday, July 14, at Englewood Charlotte Library 3450 N. Access Road, Englewood. Two others are scheduled for 10:30 a.m., Saturday, July 15, Punta Gorda Charlotte Library, 401 Shreve St., Punta Gorda and 3 p.m., Friday, July 21, 2580 Aaron St., Port Charlotte Public Library, Port Charlotte. Meanwhile, Sarasota County is ahead of the game. Venice ocials are seeking funds to jump start aordable housing construction and North Port ocials have a long list of needs with most focusing on infrastructure. But, any ideas the North Port City Commission comes up with is only a wish list right now. And any money coming this way, will be slow in arriving. First, Sarasota County will develop a plan and tell the federal government how the money will be spent. The goal is to have that done by the end of this month, followed by 30 days of public input. The best scenario is to have answers on funding by the end of November with projects starting in December or January 2024. Good things take time. HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?The Daily Sun accepts letters on any topic. There are some guidelines letter writers must follow. They include keeping the letter to 250 words or less and attaching your full name, address and an e-mail address or phone number. Letter writers are limited to one letter every 30 days. If a letter is more than 250 words, we will ask the writer to trim the letter, or we may trim the letter to fit if the writer does not respond. Letters will also be edited for grammar and spelling. While we have a lenient rule as to the content of letters, the editorial board will reject a letter it deems potentially libelous, racist, hateful or a personal attack, or if the writer criticizes a business by name. Letter writers are also not allowed to address a previous letter writer by name. Letters can be mailed to: Letters to the Editor, 23170 Harborview Road, Port Charlotte, FL. 33980 or emailed to letters@yoursun-com.DeSantis is breaking open records lawE:In case you missed it, our long-term supervisor of elections resigned from oce seven months ago. No one really knows why. There were a few being considered for appointment to this position. Establishment politicians supported and procured this oce for one of their own, a political operative that campaigned for some of them or worked on their sta. Being highly interested in what transpired in the decision for this appointment, I sent a public records request to Governor DeSantis Oce of Open Government. I sent the public records request back in February. Even though the records oce hasnt directly refused the records, their actions say dierent. Florida has one of the strongest records laws in the country. The public records oce of the governor is in clear violation of the Sunshine Law. Those that force hundreds of thousands of laws on us seem to be above the few laws that actually protect us. Is there something nefarious behind the appointment of Leah Valenti the governor is trying to hide? The people of Charlotte County deserve to have the best people in oce and they also deserve to hear the full story behind an appointment as important as this one. Governor DeSantis, please follow the law and send me my records. Taxpayers want to make sure no favoritism took part in your decision and that nothing nefarious happened in your appointment of Ms. Valenti. D K Port CharlotteCheck your vote by mail statusE:We are fortunate that in Florida we can vote by mail. In many other states, voting by mail is only allowed if the voter can show reason why they cant come to the polls on election day. All we have to do here is Florida is request to receive a ballot in the mail. Statistics show that those who register to vote by mail are more likely to vote. Receiving the ballot in the mail allows time to r esearch complex issues such as ballot amendments. Recent prior changes in Florida voting law require that vote-by-mail status must be updated prior to each election. The fact that you voted by mail in a previous election does not ensure you can do so in upcoming elections. You can check that your vote by mail status is current by calling your Charlotte County Supervisor of Elections (SOE) oce M-F 8 a.m. „ 4 p.m. or phone 941-833-5400. Call the Sarasota County SOE oce M-F 8 a.m. „ 5 p.m. or phone 941-861-8600. Even easier is to visit their website. At the Charlotte County website (www.soecharlottecounty”. gov), simply click on My Registration Status,Ž provide your name and birth date, and view your voting status. At the Sarasota County website (www.sarasotavotes.gov), click on My Registration Status,Ž provide your name and birth date, and you view your voting status. As President Abraham Lincoln said, the ballot is stronger than the bullet.Ž K F Rotonda WestSend the illegal aliens to Bidens DelawareEditor, As someone who was born and raised in New York City, educated in the public schools of Brooklyn, and earned a PhD. at NYU after my years of U.S. Army service. I am increasingly happy that I abandoned New York decades ago for the free state of Florida. The whining and complaining by the New York City mayor and other Democrat politicians about the staggering numbers of illegals that President Biden has allowed into our country is amusing. Until they were faced with the costs of this ongoing disaster, they had no concerns about what was happening to other states and cities. If they really cared, I suggest they start busing these undocumented illegal aliens to Delaware. I am sure that President Biden will be thrilled to welcome them to his solidly Democratic state, and I am sure that Delaware will be happy to support them and their families for decades if not generations. We here in Florida have the goal of removing illegals from our state, and prosecuting employers who hire illegals. Let Delaware, and other Democrat run states suer the consequences of this outrageous Biden regime policy. H G Punta GordaCounty must control the vacation rentalsE:I am waiting for Charlotte County to step up and put an end to AirBnb rentals in single family residential areas. Since the neighbor sold their home, our lives have been a living hell. Noise, parties, as many as a dozen cars, boats, trailers, etc. on the lawn, “reworks, right next to our home, garbage all over, the list is endless. Sheris have been called numerous times, but 15 minutes after they leave, the party continues. These people come to do things they would not do in their own homes. Calling AirBnb is a joke, nothing but a website that gives you the runaround. Other communities ban AirBnb rentals. I realize nobody cares unless it impacts them. We have owned our home for 22 years, and it was wonderful until February of 2022. Since the hurricane, it is even worse. They cut everything down, nobody mows the lawn or trims, the pool is unfenced, so very dangerous, but the people just keep coming. How would you like strangers coming in and out all the time? In our world today, you need to know who your neighbors are. The county needs to address this now. P G Port CharlotteLetter writers arguments were poorly madeE:In a letter written in response to mine on indoctrination, the author made no attempt to refute my examples: furthering bigotry, religion and chauvinism. I therefore assume he concurs. Instead, he uses fundamentalist pseudo-science to justify what is being legislated in Florida and other regressive states. While we may fear or not understand people we consider dierent or whose beliefs do not conform to our own, we do not have the right to legislate against them. And while there may be two genders, there exists a broad spectrum of sexuality. We must also consider those born with diering chromosomal makeup or genital dimorphism. Our governor, through fear, ignorance or a desire to stir his supporters, has taken up arms against the LBGTQX community. Ironically, they commit fewer sexual oenses than politicians or the clergy. Controlling womens rights by claiming that life begins at conception and abortion is murder is blatantly subjective. While the issue is scienti“cally debatable, religious zealots are forcing us to accept their opinion as law. Women are being treated as broodmares while bearing the social stigma that the unwanted pregnancy is somehow their fault alone. As for book banning, children seem to have the ability of selective understanding according to their emotional maturity. If they are old enough to ask appropriate questions, they are old enough to receive honest answers. Banning books is a frightening step toward a fascist dictatorship. Ignorance is not bliss. It is dangerous. B D Port Charlotte PUBLISHER Glen Nickerson COMMENTARY EDITOR John Hackworth Viewpoint

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 PAGE 7BOPINIONSThe Supreme Court is seizing more and more policymaking power, prompting a barrage of criticism for the courts imperial tendencies. The current ultra-conservative super-majority is voraciously advancing a deregulatory and anti-democratic policy agenda, including by rolling back environmental protections, degrading bodily autonomy, invalidating common sense gun control, undermining labor rights, nullifying student loan forgiveness, gutting public health measures, eroding the administrative state, insulating public corruption and dismantling laws and policies aimed at promoting a multi-racial, pluralistic democracy. No doubt, the critics are right: The court is overreaching. Yet prevailing criticisms miss half the problem. The courts overreach is a direct result of Congress underreach. The Constitution relies on a system of checks and balances to preclude tyranny and ward o imperial overreach. As its framers recognized, power abhors a vacuum. The American model of government is not one of voluntary self-restraint but of countervailing power. It requires strong institutions vying against one another to prevent the concentration and abuse of power. It does not do well when a branch is content „ even eager „ to cede power and retreat from its constitutional role. For decades, however, Congress has done just this. It has under-reached, under-performed and under-protected its legislative prerogative. This willing retreat has enabled an anti-democratic juristocracy. How? Congress has constrained its own legislative capacity while simultaneously neglecting its oversight role. The resulting power vacuum invited Supreme Court overreach, making the courts imperial problem largely a problem of Congress secession. First, Congress has abdicated its constitutional role of legislating by pitifully tying its own hands in parliamentary red tape. It continues to maintain the “libuster, requiring 60 votes for ordinary legislation to pass the Senate. This archaic rule works as an instrument of obstruction, allowing a single senator to grind legislation to a halt and eectively transforming the Senate into a dadaist nightmare,Ž as a column in the New York Times called it. The Senate also continues the farcical blue slip tradition, which grants individual senators veto power over federal judicial nominations in their states and thus impedes the majority party from “lling judicial vacancies. Both houses further truncate members legislative and political power by tightly controlling when and by whom a vote is ever brought to the ”oor. Together, these procedural hurdles ensure gridlock, obscure accountability and neuter our legislature. Second, Congress consistently neglects its duty to check the Supreme Court. It could but never has imposed any signi“cant ethics framework on the court, even in the wake of a slew of improprieties involving multiple current justices. It meekly tolerates judicial snubs to its oversight powers, refusing to subpoena justices or private individuals involved in possible judicial corruption. Congress neglects to use its formidable budgetary powers over the Supreme Court, which allow it to control signi“cant functions such as paying court sta, providing the justices security and keeping the lights on. Strikingly, Congress has failed to even consider its far-reaching powers to restructure the court, such as by changing its size, imposing limits on how long the justices serve or rede“ning the courts jurisdiction. As for its imagined role as a governing partner in dialogue with the judiciary, Congress has let the court dominate with a monologue. The justices have struck down constitutional precedents, such as the right to abortion, that the legislature has failed to codify. And Congress has failed to ful“ll judicially imposed requirements that would make legislation pass constitutional muster „ for example, it seemingly will not make a factual record that race discrimination continues to infect voting practices in order to reenact an important provision of the Voting Rights Act gutted by the court in 2013. Congress has also steadfastly shrunk from challenging the courts overt incursions into its domain, for example by letting stand court decisions that erode the legislatures power to create new rights for the public, including civil, environmental and privacy rights. Congress abdication is not without reason; it re”ects todays perverse political incentives. A combination of political gerrymandering, voter suppression, extreme partisanship and unfettered campaign spending has made Congress all too happy to minimize its lawmaking function. It does not adequately use its legislative, override, con“rmation and investigatory powers because a majority of its members no longer have the political incentive to do so. Only Congress can claw back policymaking power from the Supreme Court. Doing so will not be easy, especially when both parties bene“t from the anti-democratic power transfer to the judiciary. But there are immediate steps we can take. Its past time for Congress to abolish procedural barriers to legislating, including the “libuster, and support bold court reform strategies „ which also need the backing of the president and public. Voters should support anti-gerrymandering initiatives at the state level and demand that congressional candidates in 2024 run on a platform of reining in the court and reforming Congress „ two closely connected issues that garner immense popular support. Congress appeasement and retreat are responsible for the belligerent court we have today. Instead of simply decrying the courts overreach, we need to seriously address Congress underreach. Francesca Procaccini is an assistant professor of law at Vanderbilt Law School. Nikolas Guggenberger is an assistant professor of law at the University of Houston Law CenterAngry about the Supreme Court? Blame Congress FRANCESCA PROCACCINI and NIKOLAS GUGGENBERGERLos Angeles Times There were good reasons to avoid products with the arti“cial sweetener aspartame even before the World Health Organization classi“ed it as a possible carcinogenŽ last month. But now diet soda drinkers might really want to put down the can. But “rst, some perspective: Possible carcinogenŽ is the weakest of three bins into which WHO classi“es anything thats been even remotely tied to cancer in any kind of study. The organization labels substances with more serious links to cancer as probable carcinogensŽ and if the evidence is really strong, carcinogenic to humans.Ž That middle category includes things that many of us consume routinely, including alcoholic beverages and very hot drinks (which have been linked to esophageal cancer). The evidence behind possible carcinogens is more tenuous. The low-frequency radiation emitted from cell phones is in that category because studies have suggested very weak associations with cancer in animals. In the case of aspartame, some studies show rats fed high doses of aspartame are more likely to get brain cancer and several other malignancies. Adding to the concern, a large 2022 study followed more than 100,000 people in France and found a possible small increased cancer risk in heavy users of arti“cial sweeteners. But studies like this cant prove that the sweeteners caused cancer. Its possible that the group consuming more sweeteners also ate more processed food, or were more obese, or there was some other link. A better way to get information would be to treat the humans more like the lab rats „ feeding some people aspartame and comparing them to control groups. And now someone has done that, setting up whats known as a randomized controlled trial. The study wasnt set up to “nd a cancer link, but it did connect arti“cial sweeteners with the same risks associated with sugar. Several other studies have linked aspartame, in particular, to spiking blood sugar, and in the longer term, to higher blood sugar and expanded waistlines. Perhaps theres just no risk-free soda. The FDA approval of aspartame in 1981 was mired in political controversy. Donald Rumsfeld was chief executive, president and chairman of the company that makes aspartame, G.D. Searle & Co. „ and was at the same time part of Ronald Reagans transition team. (Rumsfeld had by then already served as defense secretary under President Gerald Ford, a role he reprised for President George W. Bush.) As soon as he was elected, Reagan appointed a new FDA head who reportedly stacked a scienti“c panel to push through aspartames approval. Today aspartame is in diet drinks, gum, ice creams, puddings, cereals and other packaged foods marketed as sugar-free. Would it have been approved if not for Rumsfelds in”uence? Maybe. Massive waves of death did not follow the infusion of aspartame into the U.S. diet, but at the same time, there was no improvement in rising rates of obesity or Type 2 diabetes. Fake sugar hasnt made America healthier. That randomized controlled trial helps explain why. The study, published in 2022 in the journal Cell, compared six groups, four consuming each of four dierent arti“cial sweeteners and two control groups. The sweeteners were Sucralose, Aspartame, Stevia and Saccharine. One control group got no sweetener and the other got a tiny amount of real sugar, the same amount added to arti“cial sweetener sachets to oset their bitter aftertaste. The studys leader, Eran Elinav of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, told me he was interested in exploring the possibility that the arti“cial sweeteners were interfering with the community of microbes that live in our guts „ the microbiome. To start with, he said, he wanted to “nd volunteers who did not already consume any arti“cial sweeteners, and after screening more than 1,300 people, he had to narrow it down to 120 subjects whose systems were suciently pristine. The two control groups showed no changes in their microbiome composition or their blood sugar control. The four groups that got arti“cial sweeteners showed changes in both after just two weeks of consuming an amount similar to what consumers might get drinking a couple of diet sodas a day. The point, Elinav said, is that these substances arent inertŽ „ they dont just pass harmlessly through the body. (Inert is the same term many chemists used to describe PFAS, now often called forever chemicals,Ž which have also been linked to health problems.) His results, he said, were interesting because the subjects getting the sweeteners reacted very dierently, some showing almost no change and others substantial changes in microbial communities and blood sugar. Even a low probability of risk might be enough reason for some people to switch to water or unsweetened drinks, given the way recent studies cast doubts on any metabolic bene“t. What should people with a sweet tooth do? Elinav said he absolutely does not want people to interpret his study to say they should switch back to drinks heavily sweetened with regular sugar or corn syrup. These are tied to all sorts of health problems, including cancer. But its impossible to prove beyond doubt that anything, even cell phones, will never cause anyone, anywhere, to get cancer. So we have to weigh the risks and bene“ts. When I interviewed American Cancer Society head Otis Brawley about cell phones, he acknowledged the possibility of a link, but we were both talking on our cell phones at the time. When I talked to Erinav, he wasnt drinking a diet soda „ and he told me he opts for water. F.D. Flam is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering science.Cancer risk or no, diet soda is bad for you F.D. FLAMBloomberg OpinionRobert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee. Anxious Democrats are taking note. The longtime environmental lawyer is the son and namesake of Robert F. Kennedy Sr., a former U.S. attorney general who was assassinated during his 1968 presidential run. John F. Kennedy, the slain 35th president, was his uncle. RFK Jr. is political royalty. He is getting attention in Democratic circles, especially from older voters who remember the ultimate iconic family of American politics. Voters dont know who he really is. That may change. Between June 19 and June 29, The New York Times published several news stories and opinion pieces about Kennedy and his presidential plans. Last week, Kennedy starred in a 90-minute televised town hall hosted by NewsNation. The attention may be boosting this longest of long shots. According to a CNN poll taken in May, a month after Kennedy announced, 20% of Democratic and Democraticleaning voters said they favor his presidential bid. Nearly half of respondents to a June poll viewed Kennedy positively, according to the survey released by The Economist and YouGov. Kennedys favorability rating was higher than other 2024 presidential candidates, including President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. So, who is this guy? In the anti-vaxxer arena, RFK Jr. makes former Illinois state Sen. Darren Bailey, last years GOP gubernatorial nominee, look like a mild-mannered do-gooder. Mr. Kennedy, 69, is a longtime ampli“er and propagator of baseless theories, beginning nearly two decades ago with his skepticism about the result of the 2004 presidential election as well as common childhood vaccines,Ž the Times reported last month. His audience for such misinformation ballooned during the coronavirus pandemic.Ž Kennedy once compared the tragic, short life of Anne Frank to the American predicament during the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming she had fared better. Even in Hitlers Germany, you could, you could cross the Alps into Switzerland. You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did,Ž Kennedy declared at a January 2022 rally in Washington. I visited in 1962 East Germany with my father and met people who climbed the wall and escaped, so it was possible. Many died doing it, but it was possible.Ž Frank, the Jewish teenager who went into hiding during the Nazi reign, was eventually discovered and perished in a concentration camp. After considerable blowback, Kennedy apologized for the remarks. During the pandemic, Kennedy was banished from Instagram for spreading false claims. He was recently featured on the Twitter Spaces platform in a friendly conversation with the controversial Elon Musk. Kennedy spent portions of the discussion overtly praising him, including saying, thank you for your service of buyingŽ Twitter, The Hill reported. He even suggested that he would take a stricter approach to immigration that puts him closer to former President Trump, saying he is planning on looking into ways that will seal the border permanently, Ž according to The Hill. Kennedy is a staunch advocate of the Second Amendment. My position on the gun control is Im not going to take away anybodys guns,Ž he said during the Twitter event. He blames Americas epidemic of mass shootings on the proliferation of pharmaceutical drugs. All this has triggered alarm among some longtime Democrats, including members of the famous Kennedy clan. Chris Kennedy, a Chicago businessman and former Illinois Democratic gubernatorial candidate, told Politicos Illinois Playbook that he did not attend his brothers campaign launch in April. I tried to persuade my brother not to run. But now that he is, my best hope is that he makes the Biden campaign stronger during the primaries so the president is in the best shape to win the general election.Ž While Kennedys ideas are scary, other Democrats are even more fearful that Biden is not in good shape. They are terri“ed that he cannot hold up to the rigors of campaigning and, if he were to be reelected, worry he cannot govern the U.S. into his 80s. So, they are grasping at straws, and currently, their most popular straw man is RFK. The Democratic left is holding its progressive nose at another Biden term. But the AOCs (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and fellow progressives) are not in sync with the RFKs „ at least, not this one. Kennedys views are more Trumpian than Bidenesque. I agree with Mike Murphy, a longtime political consultant and contributor to NBC News, who is not impressed with the attention Kennedy is getting. Its based on name ID and whatever was loudest on cable TV a week ago,Ž Murphy told the Los Angeles Times last week. Hes got a famous name, but I think half, at least, of his supporters have no idea what hes for. There is some angst and dissatisfaction in the Democratic Party about Joe Biden so when they hear Kennedy, he gets arti“cially high poll numbers.Ž Democrats, calm down. It just summer, the political silly season.Is the Kennedy name enough to get elected? LAURA WASHINGTONChicago Tribune

Daily Break WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM By HALELUYA HADERO wand ANNE DINNOCENZIO ASSOCIATED PRESSNEW YORK „ First came the supposed death of skinny jeans. Then, the resurgence of cargo pants, halter tops and baby tees. If theres one thing retailers can agree on, its that Gen Z is hot for the early 2000s fashion trends now booming in popularity. College interns and young workers are donning wide-legged slacks at the oce. The claw clip, a retro hair staple, is back; as are mesh tops, miniskirts and a host of colorful apparel that can make consumers look like they stepped out of a Disney Channel show from 2004. FUELED BY SOCIAL MEDIA Fueled by social media platforms including TikTok, the so-called Y2K trend resurfaced as consumers began attending parties and going out after pandemic lockdowns. What began with hair accessories like butter”y clips and the comeback of straight-leg jeans has expanded to all-denim garments, cargo and ”are pants and everything shiny, among other looks. Casey Lewis, a New York trend analyst, noted so many micro trends „ often t agged with the sux coreŽ „ cranked up in the past few years that she created a newsletter about them. Think BarbiecoreŽ and mermaidcore,Ž which highlight the hot pink reminiscent of Mattel Inc.s Barbie doll or sheer materials with ocean-like hues and sequins. Theres also coastal granddaughter,Ž the youthful update that evolved from the coastal grandmotherŽ trend featuring oversized cardigans and linen sets. Gen Z is not even close to being done revisiting these old trends,Ž said Lewis, whose After SchoolŽ newsletter documents youth consumer behavior. They are going to dig into every weird trend from way back when and bring it back.Ž Retailers from high-end Nordstrom to discounters and fast fashion outlets are pushing the styles in campaigns and on shelves. And consumers seem to be eating it up. CARGO AND FLARED PANTS Sales of womens cargo pants jumped 81% from January to May, the latest month of available data, according to Circana, which tracks retail purchases. Low-cost fashion chains H&M and Zara say theyre seeing success with biker jackets, denim garments and crop tops. And Chinese fast-fashion retailer Shein, which markets to young women, said its baby tee sales have tripled this year, making them by far the hottest t-shirt style of 2023. The company also is seeing a big jump in sales of ”ared pants, corset tops, metallic-colored clothing and womens track suits, which are often made from bright velour fabric reminiscent of some wardrobe choices by socialite Paris Hilton at the height of her popularity. Style watchers classify it as part of the McBling era, which overlaps with Y2K but emphasizes ”ashier items personi“ed by brands like Juicy Couture and Baby Phat, the iconic streetwear line by TV personality and designer Kimora Lee Simmons, which relaunched in 2019. As always, trends are fueled by celebrities like model Bella Hadid, whose out“t choices are analyzed by fashion magazines and other on-lookers. Style also bubbles up directly from consumers via social media, challenging retailers accustomed to runway shows setting the tone. Theres not a year advanced notice that these trends are going to trickle down,Ž said Kristen ClassiZummo, an analyst who covers fashion apparel for Circana. MICRO TRENDS Retailers, including Macys and Walmart, said they are paying closer attention to what pops up on social sites and analyzing topics searched by users. But it can be challenging to recognize the dierence between trends that just generate attention versus those shoppers will actually buy, said Jake Bjorseth, who runs trndsttrs, an agency helping companies reach young consumers. Alison Hilzer, Walmart editorial director for fashion apparel, said shes also seeing a lot of micro trends. Some have more longevity than others, making it challenging to “gure out when to jump on them. The discounter, which is marketing Y2K inspired cargo pants and Barbiecore, has been speeding up development to get trends to market faster, though the company declined to oer more speci“c details. Walmart also is following key in”uencers such as Alix Earle, who has collaborated with A-listers including Selena Gomez. Despite retailers catering to young consumers, many arent really buying. Instead, they are wearing items from each others closets, helping fuel a resale market that has tripled since 2020, according to research by Boston Consulting Group and Vestiare Collective, a French luxury resale site. Aordability was the primary driver, but shoppers also bought used items to be more planet-friendly. Yasmeen Bekhit, a 22-year-old graduate student in Manheim, Pennsylvania, said she frequents a local thrift shop almost every week and shops at resale sites like Depop, which oers Y2K-heavy options such as baguette bags and baggy jeans. Bekhit typically gravitates toward looser, ”owy pants, ”are-legged jeans and tighter shirts like mesh tops, which help her stay cooler in the summer while wearing a hijab. Shes inspired by the way former Disney Channel stars like Gomez and Hilary Du used to style themselves, she said. Popular TikTok in”uencer Aliyah Bah, who amassed more than 2.5 million followers showcasing her Y2K-inspired look known as Aliyahcore,Ž also inspires Bekhit. The look is a bit more alternative, often featuring miniskirts or shorts matched with crop tops, “shnet stockings and furry knee-high boots. I really love her way of styling out“ts,Ž Bekhit said. But for everyday, Bekhit said she typically looks up out“t ideas on social media and puts her own twist on them. Retro hair also is making a splash. Tahlya Loveday, a master stylist at the The Drawing Room New York Salon, said she has seen a lot more 90s and Y2K trends, like spiky updos and space buns, bouncy blow-dried looks and block coloring, where sections of hair are colored in contrasting colors. Gen Z clients embrace those looks more than millennials, she said. For Gen Z, this is all new to them,Ž Circanas Classi-Zummo said. Theyre really not reliving it. So while we might see it as something thats cyclical and coming back, theyre kind of getting it for the “rst time.ŽY2K fashion has taken overAnd Gen Z is loving it AP PHOTOS/MATT SLOCUMYasmeen Bekhit, a 22-year-old graduate student in her Y2K-inspired outt near her home in Manheim, Pa.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 PAGE 11B LOS ANGELES TIMES DAILY CROSSWORD EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS Rating: GOLD JANRIC CLASSIC SUDOKU NEWSDAY CROSSWORD EDITED BY STANLEY NEWMAN NOT REALLY MARMADUKE By Brad Anderson By MARK KENNEDY AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITERNEW YORK „ Raymond RedŽ Reddington is “nally hanging up his famous black fedora and „ “tting for a manipulative genius „ hes doing it on his own terms. The BlacklistŽ ends its 10-year NBC run July 13 with a two-hour send-o, and star James Spader says the cast and crew relished the chance to take their time saying goodbye. I was very, very glad we were able to end it exactly the way we wanted to end it. It was deliberate and we werent taken by surprise in terms of when the ending was going to come,Ž he tells The Associated Press. Youll see that the ending has conviction and we commit to it.Ž The end of The BlacklistŽ is a swan song for Reddington, one of the most intriguing and delicious characters on television. A master of brokering shadowy deals for criminals, he oered his help to the FBI tracking down the worlds most dangerous criminals. Spader reveals that the show „ “lmed mostly in New York City with an embrace of international characters „ went overseas for the “nale. The BlacklistŽ ends in Spain. I really felt like this was complete and I loved how it really completed a circle, in a way,Ž he says. It wasnt just an unbroken line from point A to point Z, but it was a circle of sorts.Ž The show attracted Spader all those years ago because he was looking for something that would sustain both his interest and the viewers for more than 20 episodes a season, or in his words, create a limitless landscape.Ž The pilot introduced Reddington as an fugitive criminal whose enterprises were worldwide, checking one box for the actor. Spader was also looking for a show that was ”uid in tone, which the pilot also delivered. I would not be as curious about a show that was either just a drama or a show that was just a comedy,Ž he says. I felt that it was sort of nice that this show was very, very intense and brutal at times and then, at other times, very irreverent and sometimes very emotional.Ž THE GOOD AND THE BAD Reddington, infused with Spaders elliptical charm, was a stylish addition to network TV, a character who could make an amazing frittata with just a toaster oven and who collected sabers from the Crimean War. He was not good, certainly, but not bad, either. Hes a scary monster and people like him,Ž Spader says. Reddington is deeply cultured, a man able to converse about Cary Grant, the Piazza del Campo in Siena or Kai Tak Airport. Nicknamed The Concierge of Crime,Ž he said deeply profound things like, Not every answer is worth knowingŽ and I can only lead you to the truth. I cant make you believe it.Ž He inhabits the whole world, he really does. He lives in it and he really loves it. And he loves life,Ž says Spader, a three-time Emmy winner. I guess one would understand the value of life if one has to take it every so often.Ž Even when laying low, Reddington shone. In the “fth season, he was reduced to living in a motor lodge, hanging poolside wearing a baseball cap, but rose again. In federal prison, he managed to drink little bottles of smuggled-in champagne. Reddington was fearless. Hes someone who would show reason and caution but he was never fearful of anything. That sort of combination, I think, is compelling for people when faced with so much in ones life and the world around you,Ž Spader says. I think theres something compelling, I guess, in losing yourself in a story, going on a ride along with someone, not fearful of whatever might be around the next corner or what might be across that threshold that youre just about to cross.Ž Another thing that sustained The BlacklistŽ was its marriage between a weekly procedural needing an end and an overarching, serialized story that started with the pilot and never paused until the “nale. People could enter the show or sort of access it at any time, and there would be a certain amount of satisfaction in that,Ž says Spader. And yet for those people who wanted to stay with it, then it was satisfying as a long and circuitous journey.Ž Ten years ago, Spaders Reddington promised the FBI access to his lengthy roster of politicians, mobsters, hackers, spies „ the criminals who matter,Ž he taunted agents in the pilot, the ones you cant “nd because you dont even know they exist.Ž Spader said Reddington is a welcome addition to his o-kilter gallery of TV characters, which includes Alan Shore on Boston LegalŽ and Robert California from The Oce.Ž He sits very comfortably with all the others. Hes got his own place at the table,Ž the actor says.James Spader bids farewell to Raymond ReddingtonThe two-hour The Blacklist finale is July 13 NBC/SONY PICTURES TELEVISION/WILL HARTJames Spader as Raymond Reddington in a scene from The Blacklist.Ž The 2-hour series nale airs July 13. 2 0 2 3 _ 0 7 _ 1 2 _ o t b _ e n c _ 1 1 . p d f 1 1 1 J u l 2 3 2 3 : 3 6 : 4 1

PAGE 12B WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk & Chuck Ayers SHOE By Gary Brookins & Susie MacNelly REX MORGAN By Terry Beatty MARY WORTH By Karen Moy and June Brigman BABY BLUES By Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott DOONSBURY By Garry Trudeau DEAR DR. ROACH: I have reached the beginning of osteoarthritis after a meniscus trim from years ago. Can platement-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, or anything else, regenerate cartilage? „ E.C. ANSWER: Loss of cartilage is an important part of the complex condition called osteoarthritis, along with osteophytes ("bone spurs") and in”ammation of the synovium (connective tissue that lines the joint and makes joint ”uid). Unfortunately, despite decades of research, there are still no treatments that are proven to regenerate cartilage or halt the progression of osteoarthritis. A recent trial of PRP injections in the knee failed to show any bene“t to the cartilage or to overall pain levels, compared with a placebo injection of plain salt water. I don't recommend PRP as a treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee. The main treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee is regular exercise and medications as necessary to reduce pain. Exercise has been shown to improve function, as well as relieve pain and protect the knee. Many people still think that exercise will wear out the knee faster, but this is proven to be erroneous. The type of exercise that people will best tolerate depends on many things, including the severity of their arthritis, their weight and their degree of pain, and I often will refer my patients with osteoarthritis of the knee to a physical therapist, to help teach the best exercise plan. Your story shows the importance of avoiding meniscal surgery when possible. We are far less likely to recommend surgery for a torn meniscus, because any cartilage you take out can hasten the progression of osteoarthritis. But, sometimes, it is necessary to relieve pain. DEAR DR. ROACH: Are calcium supplements safe to take? Can they increase the calcium buildup in your arteries? There seems to be mixed messages on this subject. „ L.K. ANSWER: There are mixed messages because there are mixed results from large studies on this question, with one analysis of many studies showing a small increase in risk of developing blockages in the heart arteries among people who take calcium supplements, while another large analysis showed no increase in risk. Blockages in the heart are made up of cholesterol plaque and calcium (among other components). In theory, the high amount of calcium in the blood after taking a calcium supplement could cause worse calci“cation of the arteries. However, calci“ed plaque is probably less dangerous than non-calci“ed plaque, in terms of risk of a heart attack. Still, because of the possibility of worsened heart disease risk, I typically recommend my patients get their calcium from their diet whenever possible. Dairy (especially Swiss-type cheeses) are excellent sources of calcium, but small “sh with bones (sardines, anchovies, herring) are also good sources. Other sources include legumes, leafy green vegetables, calcium-forti“ed soy and nut milks, and fruit juices. Food calcium reduces kidney stone risk, and calcium in food is not suspected to increase heart risk. There are times when calcium supplementation is so important that I still recommend it, such as in a person with osteoporosis who takes medication. The increase in bone buildup requires calcium, and if a person can't get enough from their diet, then bene“ts of supplementation outweigh risks. DR. ROACHAdvice Columnist Osteoporosis treatment includes doing exercise DEAR READERS: Lately, I've been asked if pouring grease down the sink with hot running water is OK. The answer is "no," unless you like paying a plumber to come and unclog your sink. Pour the grease in an empty can or jar and let it solidify; then dispose of the grease in the garbage or a plastic bag. I had one reader who said he disposed of grease by tipping his frying pan and letting the grease run into the corner of the pan. He then took old stale bread, put in the grease puddle and soaked it up that way. „ Heloise DEAR HELOISE: I love to cook with garlic and even grow some in a pot. Unfortunately, my girlfriend is really turned off by the smell of garlic on my hands. I've tried everything imaginable, and I can't seem to get the garlic smell out. Any hints for this smelly problem? „ Gene C., Palmyra, New Jersey Gene, get your hands wet with water. Then pour a generous amount of baking soda in the palm of your hand and scrub briskly. Keep scrubbing for as long as it takes you to sing "Happy Birthday." Rinse in warm water and, after drying, use some lotion on your hands. This also works well for strong odors like onions or “sh. Sometimes the best ideas are the easiest and most simple to use. If you liked this method on how to deodorize your hands, you'll “nd many more useful hints in my pamphlet "Heloise's Baking Soda and Recipes."

Please always have a small extinguisher handy or at least a pail of water within reach. No ”oppy sleeves either!

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 PAGE 13B DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been together more than 20 years. Our relationship grew stale over time, and a couple of years ago, she decided to leave me. However, over the few years, even though she has had several lovers, we have started to get close again. The problem is, I really love her and want her back as my girlfriend, but she sees this as a casual relationship, which leaves me feeling hurt. For example, she doesn't see a problem with having a long conversation with another lover while she's at my house. When she realizes that I'm hurt, she gets exasperated and says she feels like she has to "walk on eggshells" around me. Is it me? Is there a path forward? „ Strange Situation in Florida DEAR STRANGE SITUATION: Your problem is you have allowed yourself to be put in the "friends with bene“ts" category when what you really want is an exclusive relationship with your ex. IT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. If she's talking with other men while she's at your house, it means she's not interested in how her actions affect you. The path forward is one that's as far away as you can get from this person because your agendas are polar opposites. DEAR ABBY: I'm a widow who recently became engaged to a man who, I'm realizing after two years, has a gambling addiction. He recently lied to me about his whereabouts, and I found out this same thing went on during his “rst marriage. I can't say for sure this was the “rst time he was untruthful, but I had a gut feeling. We had developed what I thought was a good relationship based on mutual respect and trust. I could use some advice about what I should do going forward. He has become my friend and family since I have no children and have lost not only my late husband, but also a brother and recently my father. „ Thrown in North Dakota DEAR THROWN: I know you are lonely. But if you love your “ance, continue the relationship as it IS, and do not plan on marrying him. Realize that should you marry a person with a gambling addiction, commingling your assets could ruin you “nancially and affect your retirement. If he has a desire to change, there are 12-step programs he could join, Gamblers Anonymous being one of them (gamblersanonymous. org). But please be aware that compulsive gambling is an addiction, and your “ance could fall off the wagon at any time. DEAR ABBY: My husband texted a graphic nude photo of himself to his ex-girlfriend. I am shocked and hurt. Should I leave this man? „ Can't Unsee It in West Virginia DEAR CAN'T UNSEE: Yes, I think you should, because the naked truth is that your husband isn't “nished with his former girlfriend.

NATIONAL NEWS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 | 1WYATTE GRANTHAMPHILIPSAssociated PressAmazon Prime Day is here. And, once again, experts are warning consumers of scams.Scams targeting online shoppers „ often by impersonating companies like Amazon and other major retailers „ are nothing new. But phishing attempts increase amid busy spending seen during significant sales events „ from Black Friday to, of course, Prime Day, according to the Better Business Bureau. This is a huge moment on the retail calendar,Ž Josh Planos, vice president of communications and public relations at the Better Business Bureau, told The Associated Press. And because of that, it represents an enormous opportunity for a scammer, con artist or even just an unethical business or organization to capitalize on the moment and separate folks from their hard-earned money.Ž Prime Day, a two-day discount event, kicks off on Tuesday and runs through Wednesday. In guidance published last week, the Better Business Bureau reminded consumers to watch out for lookalike websites, too-good-to-betrue social media ads, unsolicited emails or calls and more near Prime Day and other sales events this month beyond Amazons. Scott Knapp, director of worldwide buyer risk prevention at Amazon, identifies two scams that the company has seen in recent years around Prime Day: Prime membership and order confirmation hoaxes. Last year, for example, people reported getting unsolicited calls or emails saying that there was something wrong with their Prime membership. Then, they were asked for payment information, like a credit card, and sometimes login credentials as well, Knapp explained „ adding that Amazon or any reputable businessŽ wouldnt ask for those details in that way. Urging consumers to confirm an order they didnt place is also a common tactic at this time of year, he adds. Scammers might pick something expensive, like a smartphone, to get attention „ and again ask for payment information or send a malicious link. We sell a lot of stuff and people know the (Amazon) name,Ž Knapp told the AP. Bad actors try to take advantage of that.Ž Of course, theres loads of additional scams out there „ its hard to identify more specifics for this years Prime Day before it begins. Still, experts add, scams will often iterate year after year. Typically, the bones remain the same,Ž Planos said, pointing to repeating fake delivery scams, email phishing and more. Its always a ploy to separate consumers from (their) personal and payment information.Ž But online hoaxes are also constantly evolving to become more sophisticated, Planos and others warn. That means images might look more legit, text messages may sound more convincing and fake websites are starting to look very similar to your typical shopping destinations.ASSOCIATED PRESSAn Amazon Prime logo appears on the side of a delivery van as it departs an Amazon Warehouse location in Dedham, Mass., Oct. 1, 2020. Amazon Prime Day kicked o on Tuesday, continues today, and, once again, experts are warning consumers of scams.Be wary of scams during Prime Day ASSOCIATED PRESSREYKJAVIK, Iceland „ Authorities in Iceland on Tuesday warned tourists and other spectators to stay away from a newly erupting volcano that is spewing lava and noxious gases from a fissure in the countrys southwest. The eruption began Monday afternoon after thousands of earthquakes in the area, meteorological authorities said. This one comes 11 months after its last eruption officially ended. The eruption is in an uninhabited valley near the Litli-Hrútur mountain, some 19 miles southwest of the capital, Reykjavik. The area, known broadly as Fagradalsfjall volcano, erupted in 2021 and 2022 without causing damage or disruptions to flights, despite being near Keflavik Airport, Icelands international air traffic hub. The airport remained open on Tuesday. The Icelandic Meteorological Office said the eruption was initially more explosive than the previous two. Aerial footage showed streams of orange molten lava and clouds of gases spewing from a snaking fissure about half a mile long. Gas pollution is high around the eruption and dangerous,Ž the Met Office said. Travelers are advised not to enter the area until responders have had a chance to evaluate conditions.Ž By Tuesday morning, the fissure and the volume of the eruption had shrunk, scientists said. This has become a small eruption, which is very good news,Ž University of Iceland geophysics professor Magnús Tumi Gumundsson told national broadcaster RUV. He said the eruption could certainly last a long time, but luckily were not looking at a continuation of what we saw in the first few hours.Ž A 2021 eruption in the same area produced spectacular lava flows for several months. Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to see the sight. Iceland, which sits above a volcanic hot spot in the North Atlantic, averages an eruption every four to five years. The most disruptive in recent times was the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, which sent huge clouds of ash into the atmosphere and led to widespread airspace closures over Europe. More than 100,000 flights were grounded, stranding millions of international travelers and halting air travel for days because of concerns the ash could damage jet engines.Iceland warns tourists to stay away from erupting volcano ASSOCIATED PRESSLava emerges Monday from a “ ssure of the Fagradals all volcano near the Litli-Hrútur mountain, some 19 miles southwest of Reykjavik, Iceland.A supplement to your hometown newspaper

APG NATIONAL NEWS 2 | WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023LISA RATHKEAssociated PressANDOVER, Vt. „ A storm that dumped up to two months of rain in two days in Vermont and other parts of the Northeast brought more flooding Tuesday to communities that included the state capital, where officials said that river levels at a dam just upstream appeared to be stable. Muddy brown water from the Winooski River flowed Tuesday through the capital of Montpelier, obscuring vehicles and all but the tops of parking meters along picturesque streets lined with brick storefronts whose basements and lower floors were flooded. Some residents of the city of 8,000 slogged their way through the waist-high water; others canoed and kayaked along main streets to survey the scene. Shopkeepers took stock of damaged or lost goods. Montpelier Town Manager Bill Fraser said the dam remains a lingering concern but that the city was shifting to a recovery mode, with water receding and public works employees expected Wednesday morning to start removing mud and debris from downtown streets. Building inspections will start as businesses begin cleaning up their properties. The dam did not spill over. The water in the dam is still up there but it stabilized. We are feeling like the water going over the spillway of the dam is not an imminent threat,Ž Fraser said. It looks like it wont breach. That is good.

An explanation wasnt immediately clear, but in posts on Ticketmasters French Twitter several hours after the pause began, the ticket seller cited a problem with a thirdparty provider. Ticketmaster maintained that tickets to the France shows are still available and that the provider was working to resolve this matter as soon as possible.Ž Tuesdays chaos arrives after the spectacular breakdown seen last November during Ticketmasters sale of ErasŽ tour tickets in the U.S. „ when Ticketmasters site crashed during a presale event for Swifts stadium tour and thousands of people lost tickets after waiting for hours in an online queue.Pickleball comes to Fenway as sport reaches big leaguesBOSTON „ The pickleball craze is hitting the big leagues.

Mikala Jones was 44. His father Dr. John Jones, a Honolulu dentist, says Jones had gone out Sunday morning during a trip to the Mentawai Islands off the western coast of Sumatra when his surfboard fin cut his femoral artery. AROUND THE WORLDNATION & WORLD HANNA ARHIROVAAssociated PressKYIV, Ukraine „ In a cramped municipal building in a residential area of the Ukrainian capital, a group of people take turns training to shoot using a replica of a machine gun with the help of a weapons training simulator relying on virtual reality. The nearly 20 participants „ all of them civilians and most of them women „ have never held a weapon before. With Russias war on Ukraine now in its 17th month, the Kyiv City Administration has opened up training for civilians who want to learn survival skills, including how to shoot, provide first aid and recognize land mines. These and other skills could be used in a hostile environment provoked by missile strikes and other man-made disasters. In a dark room with tightly closed blinds, the unreal poofpoof sounds of the replica weapons are heard. People enthusiastically ask the instructors how to hold their weapons properly and ask to try one more time. I am more than 45 years old. As soon as the opportunity arose, I decided that I needed to refresh some skills and learn something new,Ž said Kyiv resident Lada Bondarenko. She was especially impressed by the instructors lecture on possible land mine threats. It was a reminder that the Kyiv region, although not currently on the front lines of the war, is still at major risk because of mines left behind by the Russians who briefly occupied areas on the outskirts of the capital in the early days of the war. While the fighting on the front lines is now largely in stalemate, indiscriminate Russian missile attacks continue to hit residential areas, wreaking havoc and causing almost daily casualties across the country. Several days after the registration on the citys website was opened, more than 2,000 people had signed up for the training, around 70% of them women, said the deputy director for Kyivs municipal security, Mykhailo Shcherbyna. The main goal is for people to learn how to survive and how to respond to these military threats that exist,Ž he explained. According to Shcherbyna, by educating people, local authorities try to prevent more casualties in the future. The war continues, and we dont know what the next threats will be.Ž In his opinion, one of the reasons why most of those who signed up for the training are women is because a large number of men are already at the front. Also, many women come so that these skills will help them protect not only themselves but their children. But men, too, attend with the protection of their children in mind. I came to be able to explain to my children that there are mines that can tear off arms, legs and take life,Ž said Vitalii Sumin, aged 38. His house is located in nearby Irpin, an area in the northwestern outskirts of the capital where fierce battles took place last spring. When the Russians retreated last March, many land mines were left in the area, which now could be deadly dangerous, hidden in the grass.In Ukraine, civilians train in survival skillsASSOCIATED PRESSPARIS „ A crane hoisted massive oak trusses from a barge and onto Notre Dame Cathedral on Tuesday in a spectacular operation to rebuild the fire-ravaged monument and bring it back to life by December 2024. With trusses weighing 7 to 7.5 tons, the delicate operation drew crowds along a bridge over the Seine River and on its banks. I think its a magical moment for a lot of Parisians this morning,Ž said Transport Minister Clement Beaune, noting that the Seine will be at the center of the Paris Olympics in 2024. Gen. Jean-Louis Georgelin, appointed by French President Emmanuel Macron to oversee Notre Dames reconstruction, said that even the heavy traffic expected during the summer Games wont stop work on the world-renowned cathedral. We will work for the cathedral during the Olympics in order to be ready in December 2024,Ž he said. This is our goal.Ž Notre Dame, which overlooks the historic core of Paris from an island on the Seine, was consumed by flames in 2019. It was decided to rebuild the monument using methods of yore. Expert carpenters used medieval techniques to construct the trusses, which measure 46 to 52 feet wide and 39 to 43 feet high. Guided by ropes, the trusses were placed on the roof around the area of the iconic spire, which crumbled in cinders during the fire, and the two arms of the transept, the wooden skeleton of Notre Dame.

ASSOCIATED PRESSA federal judge has handed Microsoft a major victory by declining to block its looming $69 billion takeover of video game company Activision Blizzard. Regulators sought to ax the deal saying it will hurt competition. U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley said in a ruling that the merger deserved scrutiny, noting it could be the largest in the history of the tech industry. But federal regulators were unable to show how it would cause serious harm and wouldnt likely prevail if they took it to a full trial, she wrote. The Federal Trade Commission, which enforces antitrust laws, has not raised serious questions regarding whether the proposed merger is likely to substantially lessen competitionŽ between video game consoles or in the growing markets for monthly game subscriptions or cloud-based gaming, Corley said. A ruling favorable to Microsoft was not a surprise after the companys lawyers had the upper hand in a 5-day San Francisco court hearing that ended late last month. The proceeding showcased testimony by Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella and longtime Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, who both pledged to keep Activisions blockbuster game Call of Duty available to people who play it on consoles „ particularly Sonys PlayStation „ that compete with Microsofts Xbox. Our merger will benefit consumers and workers. It will enable competition rather than allow entrenched market leaders to continue to dominate our rapidly growing industry,Ž Kotick said in a written statement after Tuesdays ruling. The FTC had asked Corley to issue an injunction temporarily blocking Microsoft and Activision from closing the deal before the FTCs in-house judge can review it in an August trial. Both companies suggested that such a delay would effectively force them to abandon the takeover agreement they signed nearly 18 months ago. Microsoft promised to pay Activision a $3 billion breakup fee if the deal doesnt close by July 18. The FTC hasnt said whether it will appeal Corleys ruling. We are disappointed in this outcome given the clear threat this merger poses to open competition in cloud gaming, subscription services, and consoles,Ž FTC spokesperson Douglas Farrar said in a prepared statement. In the coming days well be announcing our next step to continue our fight to preserve competition and protect consumers.Ž The decision is a setback for the FTCs heightened scrutiny of the technology industry under Chairperson Lina Khan.Microsoft can move ahead with $69B acquisition of Activision ASSOCIATED PRESSScenes from Candy Crush Saga,Ž left, by Activision Blizzard, and Crash Team Rumble,Ž from Activision Publishing, are shown in this photo, in New York on June 21.

BRIEFCASEBank of America hit with $250M in fines for double-dipping feesNEW YORK „ Bank of America must reimburse customers more than $100 million and pay $150 million in fines for double-dippingŽ on overdraft fees, withholding reward bonuses on credit cards and opening accounts without customer consent. It is one of the highest financial penalties in years against Bank of America, which has largely spent the last 15 years trying to clean up its reputation and market itself to the public as a bank focused on financial health and not on overdraft fee income.Amazon pushes back against Europes new digital rulesLONDON „ Amazon is disputing its status as an online platform subject to stricter scrutiny under European Union digital rules taking effect next month. Its the first Silicon Valley tech giant to push back on the pioneering new standards by filing a legal challenge with a top European Union court. The online retailer argues its being treated unfairly by being designated a very large online platformŽ under the 27-nation blocs Digital Services Act. The law imposes new obligations on the biggest tech companies to keep users safe from illegal content and dodgy products. The rules will help Europe maintain its place as standard setter in global efforts to rein in the power of social media companies and other digital platforms.Wall Street gets a late push ahead of inflation dataNEW YORK „ Stocks climbed as Wall Street prepared for an upcoming update on inflation that will hopefully show a smaller increase in pain for everyone.

The weeks main event arrives Wednesday when the government offers the latest update on inflation in consumer prices. The hope on Wall Street is that a continued easing in inflation will convince the Federal Reserve to stop raising interest rates soon.

BUSINESS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 | 4 FRANK BAJAKAP Technology WriterBOSTON „ Medical giant HCA Healthcare, which operates 180 hospitals in the U.S. and Britain, says the personal data of about 11 million patients in 20 states may have been stolen in a data breach. Samples of the data, including addresses, phone numbers, emails and birth dates, were posted to an online forum popular with cybercrooks by a hacker trying to sell them. The Nashville-based provider said the stolen data was not believed to include Social Security numbers, payment information or clinical info such as diagnoses. However, the data did include information on scheduled appointments and medical departments involved. A file dumped online by the hacker on Monday following what appeared to be a failed attempt to extort HCA includes nearly 1 million records from the companys San Antonio division. If 11 million patients are affected, the breach would rank in the top five as reported by health care institutions to the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights. In the worst such hack, affecting the medical insurer Anthem Inc. in 2015, 79 million people. Chinese spies were indicted in that case and there no evidence the stolen data was ever put up for sale. The hacker, who first posted a sample of stolen data online on July 5, was trying to sell the data and was apparently attempting to extort HCA.

SCIENCE &TECH ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 | 5CHRISTINA LARSONAP Science WriterNew research suggests humans lived in South America at the same time as now extinct giant sloths, bolstering evidence that people arrived in the Americas earlier than once thought.Scientists analyzed triangular and teardrop-shaped pendants made of bony material from the sloths. They concluded that the carved and polished shapes and drilled holes were the work of deliberate craftsmanship. Dating of the ornaments and sediment at the Brazil site where they were found point to an age of 25,000 to 27,000 years ago, the researchers reported. Thats sev eral thousand years before some earlier theories had suggested the first people arrived in the Americas, after migrating out from Africa and then Eurasia. We now have good evidence „ together with other sites from South and North America „ that we have to rethink our ideas about the migration of humans to the Americas,Ž said Mirian Liza Alves Forancelli Pacheco, a study co-author and archaeologist at the Federal University of Sao Carlos in Brazil. In the past decade, other research has challenged the conventional wisdom that people didnt reach the Americas until a few thousand years before rising sea levels covered the Bering land bridge between Russia and Alaska, perhaps around 15,000 years ago. The ornaments were discovered about 30 years ago at a rock shelter called Santa Elina in central Brazil. The new study is the first to analyze them extensively and rule out the possibility that humans had found and carved them thousands of years after the animals per ished. The team of researchers from Brazil, France and the United States said their analysis shows this handi work was done within days to a few years after the animals had died, and before the materials had fossilized. The researchers also ruled out natural abrasion and other things that might explain the shapes and holes. They reported their findings Wednesday in Britains Proceedings of the Royal Society B journal. We think they were personal objects, possibly for personal adornment,Ž said Thais Rabito Pansani, a co-author and paleontologist at the Federal University of Sao Carlos in Brazil. Once among the largest creatures in South Amer ica, giant ground sloths were 10 to 13 feet (3 to 4 meters) in length and usually walked on all four legs, using their sharp claws to dig burrows. They weighed more than a thousand pounds (450 kg) and their skin included bony structures under their fur „ somewhat similar to the bony plates of modern armadillos. Two years ago, another team of researchers reported that fossilized human footprints found near White Sands, New Mexico, dated back to 21,000 to 23,000 years ago „ though some researchers dispute these dates. Other evidence from Mexico suggests human presence around 26,000 years ago, and findings from Uruguay may suggest human occupation as much as 30,000 years ago. Jennifer Raff, an anthropological geneticist at the University of Kansas, who was not involved in the study, said the new paper was an important additionŽ to the conversation, but like any findings on the topic, it may also draw pushback. Still, the evidence from multiple sites forces scien tists to rethink old assumptions that people arrived only in one great wave of migration over the Bering land bridge, said Briana Pobiner, a co-author and paleoanthropologist at the Smithsonian Institutions National Museum of Natural History in Washington. Some may have died out, but its very likely that multiple waves of people came to Americas,Ž she said.ASSOCIATED PRESSThis image provided by researchers shows artifacts made of bony material from a giant sloth discovered at a rock shelter in Bra zil, recovered from archaeological layers dated to 25,000 to 27,000 years ago.

SPORTS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2023 | 6 ASSOCIATED PRESSSEATTLE „ Elias Díaz hit a tworun homer off Félix Bautista in the eighth inning, and the National League snapped a nine-game losing streak in the All-Star Game with a 3-2 win over the American League on Tuesday night. The NL won for the first time since an 8-0 victory in 2012 in Kansas City thanks to Díaz, a catcher who became the first Rockies player to win the AllStar MVP award. This means a lot to me, to my family,Ž he said. Being in the ASG for me is amazing.Ž Díaz, who was non-tendered by the Pirates at the end of 2019, drove a 2-2 pitch from Baltimores hard-throwing closer deep to left to put the NL in front. Díaz was the lone representative for Colorado in his first All-Star Game appearance. It does matter. We wanted to win, the American League we wanted to win,Ž Bautista said through an interpreter. But overall I think that its an experience Ill never forget and just wish that would have been a little bit different.Ž Díaz has nine homers this season, but hadnt hit a long ball since June 23 against the Los Angeles Angels. For most of the night, the All-Star Game was a pitchers duel highlighted by a couple big hits and some excellent defense. It got nervous for the NL in the ninth. Wander Franco flied out to the warning track leading off against Philadelphia closer Craig Kimbrel, who issued two-out walks to Kyle Tucker and Seattle star Julio Rodríguez. Kimbrel recovered to strike out José Ramírez to end it. Kimbrel also pitched in the previous NL win, recording two outs in 2012. The ninth inning in the dugout was just a lot of fun to experience,Ž said San Diegos Josh Hader, who pitched the eighth for the NL. Yandy Díaz hit a solo homer in the second inning and Bo Bichettes sacrifice fly in the sixth inning gave the AL a 2-1 lead. J.D. Martinez doubled and scored on Luis Arraezs single in the fourth against Seattles George Kirby, tying it at 1. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. appeared to tie the game again in the seventh when his shot down the left-field line was originally ruled a homer but was overturned as a foul ball on replay. The All-Star Game returned to the Emerald City for the first time since 2001 when the Mariners were in the middle of their magical 116-win regular season, Cal Ripken Jr. said goodbye to the All-Star stage and Tommy Lasorda took a tumble. Gerrit Cole became the first New York Yankees pitcher to start the AllStar Game since Roger Clemens in that 2001 game. He needed a pair of spectacular leaping catches from Adolis García and Randy Arozarena near the wall to escape the first inning unscathed. Pitching was the story of the night. Only nine balls were hit over 100 mph. There were 20 combined strikeouts, including Camilo Doval silencing the home crowd with a strikeout of Rodríguez in the seventh inning where four of the five pitches topped 100 mph.OHTANI CHANTThe All-Star Game was missing some big names with Mike Trout and Aaron Judge out with injuries, but it still had Shohei Ohtani. The Angels star had an uneventful night with a strikeout and walk as the designated hitter. He drew the biggest cheers outside of Seattles three representatives during introductions, and he was serenaded with chants of Come to SeattleŽ when he was at the plate. The hometown crowd is well aware of his pending free agency this offseason. Never experienced anything like that, but I definitely heard it,Ž Ohtani said through his interpreter. But I was trying to focus on my at-bat.ŽSIX PACKThe Rangers made All-Star history when Nathan Eovaldi took the mound in the second. That marked the third time in an All-Star Game when there were six players from the same team on the field at the same time. It also occurred with the 1939 Yankees and 1951 Dodgers. The Baseball Hall of Fame said a ball signed by all six players in the game would be headed to Cooperstown. Thats got to be one of the cooler moments in sports when youve got half the team on the field is your team, especially under these circumstances,Ž catcher Jonah Heim said. Its really special and I was glad I got to share it with these guys today.ŽSKIPPED OVERThe Tampa Bay duo of Shane McClanahan and Wander Franco were inadvertently skipped over during pregame introductions. The pair jogged in on their own and left it to the Rays social media staff to give them a proper announcement.NL snaps All-Star Game skid ASSOCIATED PRESSThe National Leagues Elias Díaz, of the Rockies (35), celebrates his two-run home run with Nick Castellanos (8), of the Philli es, in the eighth inning during the MLB All-Star game in Seattle on Tuesday. Young scores 23, Gray 21 and Wilson 20 as the Aces keep rolling with win over MercuryLAS VEGAS „ Jackie Young scored 23 points to lead three players with at least 20 points and the Las Vegas Aces coasted to a 98-72 win over the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday night. Chelsea Gray had 21 points and 11 assists and Aja Wilson 20 with eight rebounds in the rout. Kelsey Plum, coming o a franchise record 40-point game, added 17 points for Las Vegas (18-2), which came into the game leading the league in scoring at 93.6 points a game. The Aces third sellout of the season included Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Arum sitting with Las Vegas owner Mark Davis. Saturdays All-Star game in Las Vegas is also sold out. There were also a host of NBA stars in attendance, with some, like four-time All-Star Donovan Mitchell, greeting Wilson coming out of halftime. Michaela Onyenwere scored 18 points o the bench for the Mercury (4-15), who are last in the league in scoring at 77 points a game. Brittney Griner added 13 and Diana Taurasi had 11 moving her within 86 points of 10,000 for her career. Las Vegas led 26-22 after one quarter but stretched that to 52-34 at the half. The Aces dominated with a 36-12 di erence on points in the paint to go with 52% shooting.MLB experimenting with pearl white balls to rid sticky problemSEATTLE „ Pristine white baseballs that would not require rubbing are under consideration by Major League Baseball as a way to solve the issue of pitchers using sticky substances for better grip. We continue to work with the people at Dow Chemical on developing a tacky ball,Ž Commissioner Ron Manfred told the Baseball Writers Association of America on Tuesday. It would literally eliminate all „ well, not all „ but many of the variables in the current process. It would come out of a sealed foil pouch at the ballpark. No individual mudding.Ž MLB executive vice president Morgan Sword said the balls were tested in the “ rst half of this season in the Double-A Southern League. The balls would retain colored stitches. Like everything in baseball, when you inch towards a solution, you “ gure out another problem,Ž Manfred said. The baseball, if we get there with the Dow people, would be a pearl, right? A pure white baseball. I think if you take hitters and pitchers out front here and ask em what they think of a pure white baseball, youre going to “ nd out that its a pretty controversial topic. So not only do we have the science that were continuing to work on but were going to have to get over that sort of policy issue of: Is a pure white baseball a good thing?Ž. A minimum 13 dozen baseballs are prepared for each game. Humidors have been used for storage by all teams since 2022. The only issue guys are having now is that whatever park you go to, every stadium is different,Ž Minnesota All-Star pitcher Sonny Gray said. The elements are di erent everywhere. Like when youre pitching in Minnesota when its 30 degrees outside for the “ rst month of the season, the balls are going to be hard, cold and dry, rather than when youre pitching in Cincinnati in the middle of the summer its sticky and humid.Ž SPORTS IN BRIEFAssociated Press

www.yoursun.com Page 3 By AUDREY BLACKWELLGO! CORRESPONDENTImprovisational theater „ a uniquely open form of impromptu, often comedic performance „ has grown from its early days of in”uence to 21st century America. Western history points to the 16th through 18th centuries when commedia dellarte performers improvised in Italy as an early form of improv theater. In 1916, American John Dewey used improv games to educate children. Then in 1963, Viola Spolin published a book on improv theater and inspired improvisational acting in Chicago. Going further, you may have heard of performers who began their acting careers via improv, such as Mike Myers, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi. Locally, Florida Studio Theatre is a frontrunner in oering its own brand of improv „ FST Improv Troupe. Formed in 2001 under the leadership of Rebecca Hopkins, managing director, the theaters program later expanded to include its annual one-of-a-kind Sarasota Improv Festival that spans three days. The 13th Annual Sarasota Improv Festival is set to run July 20 through July 22 at FSTs downtown campus, 1241 N. Palm Ave., Sarasota, with over 20 improv groups set to perform. Performances will take place at varying times and theaters on the FST campus. IMPROVS GROWTH When I came to FST, they did not have an improv program. Since I trained in it and began performing it in high school, I started it here in 2001. Within a year we had built a troupe and were ready to begin performing. Then in 2009, we put on our “rst improv festival, which helped build improv for the state, and weve come together with theaters in such places as Miami and St. Pete and work together,Ž said Managing Director Rebecca Hopkins. Will Luera is director of improvisation and looks forward to the festival. Just the fact that the festival is coming back live is exciting to me,Ž he said. We did one virtual festival during the pandemic, but live performances are always best. We are bringing back a lot of our regulars.Ž The returning fan favorite troupes are Available Cupholders (from Boston and Los Angeles); Big Bang Improv (Boston, Sarasota and New York City); Dads Garage (Atlanta); Parallelogramophonograph (Austin, Texas); North Coast (New York City); and FST Improv (Florida Studio Theatres resident improv team). Our formula is to include some national and international groups into the mix of performers that is primarily made up of groups from across America,Ž Luera said. This year, we are allowing more local groups from Florida to perform. They number six. We are the only weekly improv team in the area that performs every Saturday, 52 times a year, with the exception of the Improv Festival when it is held more often. In other words, we are the only theater to hold an Improv Sarasota Improv Festival: One whirlwind weekend of spontaneous comedyFlorida Studio Theatre brings back popular comedy fest PHOTO COURTESY OF LANCE C. FULLER/FLORIDA STUDIO THEATRE Headlining the 13th Annual Sarasota Improv Festival is MC Hammersmith, (Will Naameh) a multi award-winning comedian and hip hop improviser from the United Kingdom.

www.yoursun.com Page 4 Festival at this scale.Ž Luera, who moved from scripted performances to performing improvisation in college, realizes that some attendees may be new to improv and may not know what to expect. They can expect scenes that are made up on the spot,Ž he said. The more creative the ideas they give us (performers), the more we can please them. Also, a lot of people think we pick on them, and we do not do that. Sometimes we have them write down an idea for a scene on a piece of paper and we work o of that.Ž Luera highlighted a few of the 20 plus performing groups. MC Hammersmith, a hip hop improviser from the United Kingdom who has won multiple awards, will headline the Sarasota Improv Festival. This is his very “rst appearance in the U.S.Ž Also making debut appearances at the festival are: Ripley, of Los Angeles, and six Florida troupes: Impromptu, Improv U, Swan City Improv, Wallares and Wet Bandits. Closing the festival will be FSTs famous “nale: All Play,Ž when all festival artists perform on the Gompertz stage for an unscripted, fun performance. Luera said that each show will last 40 to 45 minutes to give audience members time to switch theaters, since FST has “ve theaters and each one will hold improv performances. The 15 to 20 minutes between shows will give theatergoers a restroom break or time to grab something to eat. In addition to improv performances on July 22, there will be a full day of educational workshops. There should be plenty of parking around FSTs theater spaces. Florida Studio Theater has “ve parking lots in the vicinity of the theater and there are a couple of public parking lots nearby,Ž Luera explained.

While inflation remains painfully high, it has been easing in recent months as the Federal Reserve has pressed its interest rate hiking campaign. Consumer prices rose just 4% in May from a year earlier, the lowest 12-month figure in over two years and well below Aprils 4.9% annual increase. Economists project the index rose 3.1% in June from a year earlier, which would be the lowest annual increase since March 2021.Today MillerKnollInterior design and manufacturing firm MillerKnoll reports its fourth-quarter earnings after the bell today. Analysts expect the Michigan company to post earnings of 39 cents per share on revenue of $946 million. Those figures would be a decline from the same period a year ago when the company earned 58 cents per share on $1.1 billion in sales. MillerKnoll was formed when Herman Miller acquired Knoll in July of 2021.Housing barometerThe Mortgage Bankers Associations weekly survey of mortgage applications comes out today. Mortgage rates have been rising in recent weeks, making it more expensive to borrow money on a home loan, but mortgage applications have been inconsistent from week to week. Its put homebuyers in a quandary, with home prices finally starting to retreat recently.-4 0 4 8% 6/30 6/23 6/16 6/9 6/2 5/26 -1.4 -3.7 0.5 -4.4Mortgage applications survey seasonally adjusted percent changeSource: FactSetWeek ending 0 4 8% J M A M F J 6.4 6.0 4.9 4.0 est. 3.1 5.0Consumer price index annual change, not seasonally adjustedSource: FactSet2023 7.2 3.0 MONEY & MARKET$Page 3 www.yoursun.com
