On Tuesday, county commissioners approved the change to the county code to prohibit smoking in these areas by a 4-1 vote. Commissioner Mike Moran cast the dissenting vote without stating a reason, but in the past has questioned how enforcement would be handled. The amended ordinance provides for a “ ne of up to $500 for violations, according to Parks and Natural Resources Director Nicole Rissler. This is almost common sense when youre relaxing at the beach or at a park „ you dont want to smell cigarette smoke,Ž said Commissioner Mark Smith, who has been pushing for the change.Sarasota County OKs smoking ban for parks, beachesStarting Oct. 1, only exception is for cigars By JIM TURNERNEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDATALLAHASSEE „ Numbers released Wednesday con“ rmed that Floridas 2022-2023 citrus season was the worst in nearly a century, as growers tried to recover from an early-season hurricane that exacerbated industry struggles. The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Wednesday issued a “ nal report that showed a huge dropo in production from the 2021-2022 season. The industry would have to go back to the 1929-1930 season to “ nd comparable numbers. Growers produced 15.85 million boxes of oranges during the 20222023 season, down from 41.2 million boxes during the 2021-2022 season, which itself marked a continued decrease in production. A little more than two decades ago, annual production topped 200 million boxes of oranges and 50 million boxes of grapefruit.Citrus growers end troubled seasonSeason was worst in nearly a century, down 41 million boxes from a year earlier SUN PHOTO BY SCOTT LAWSONTrucks lled with oranges wait outside a processing plant Monday at Peace River Citrus Products along State Road 72 near Arcadia.INSIDENorth Port seeks clarification for smoking ban at parks See page 1BSEE SMOKING , 4A SEE CITRUS , 4A By CHRIS MEGERIAN, LORNE COOK and SEUNG MIN KIMASSOCIATED PRESSVILNIUS, Lithuania „ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed fresh pledges of weapons and ammunition to fight Russias invasion along with longer-term security commitments from the West on Wednesday even as he expressed disappointment over the lack of a clear path for his country to join NATO as the alliance wrapped up its annual summit. The Ukrainian delegation is bringing home a signi“ cant security victory for the Ukraine, for our country, for our people, for our children,Ž he said while ” anked by U.S. President Joe Biden and other leaders from the Group of Seven most powerful democratic nations. A joint declaration issued by the G7 lays the groundwork for each nation to negotiate agreements to help Ukraine bolster its military over the long term. Zelenskyy described the initiative as a bridge toward eventual NATO membership and a deterrent against Russia. We will not waver,Ž Biden vowed after the summit in Lithuania ended. I mean that. Our commitment to Ukraine will not weaken. We will stand for freedom today, tomorrow and for as long as it takes.Ž The Ukrainian and American presidents also met privately along with their advisers, and Biden acknowledged that Zelenskyy is sometimes frustratedŽ by the pace of military assistance. Zelenskyy thanked Biden, saying that you spend this money for our lives,Ž and said shipments of controversial cluster munitions would help Ukraines “ ght against Russia. It was a marked shift in tone from Zelenskyys complaints a day earlier, when he said it was unprecedented and absurdŽ to avoid setting a timeline for Ukraine to join NATO.Ukraine wins G7 security pledgesNATO membership remains elusiveSEE NATO , 4A AP PHOTO/EVGENIY MALOLETKA A Ukrainian serviceman carries a 155mm shell into self-propelled howitzer BohdanaŽ before ring towards Russian positions on Friday near Bakhmut, Ukraine.

In 1923, a sign consisting of 50-foot-tall letters spelling out HOLLYWOODLANDŽ was dedicated in the Hollywood Hills to promote a subdivision (the last four letters were removed in 1949). In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Thurgood Marshall to be U.S. Solicitor General; Marshall became the first Black jurist appointed to the post. In 1973, former presidential aide Alexander P. Butterfield revealed to Senate Watergate Committee staff members the existence of President Richard Nixons secret White House taping system. In 1974, the Senate Watergate Committee proposed sweeping reforms in an effort to prevent another Watergate scandal. In 1985, Live Aid,Ž an international rock concert in London, Philadelphia, Moscow and Sydney, took place to raise money for Africas starving people.

PAGE 4A THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.comIm happy to see this for the protection of our kids,Ž Commissioner Joe Neunder added. Rissler told commissioners during her brief presentation the ordinance was consistent with those passed by the countys municipalities and Charlotte County. When Risslers sta surveyed those entities for feedback, the common thread was a wish that they had approached the public and performed education before their ordinance changes went into eect, Rissler said. With that feedback, she told commissioners that an extensive marketing and communication planŽ would launch in August to include social media videos, website announcements, banners at selected sites, along with a change in signs. Sarasota County had a ban in place more than 15 years ago, but that ordinance was invalidated in 2012 when a circuit court ruled that the Clean Indoor Air Act pre-empted such action by local governments leaving it to the state instead. Last year, the Florida Legislature “nally acted, giving counties and cities the power to restrict smoking within the boundaries of any public beaches and public parks that they own.Ž With that hurdle removed, Rissler and her sta reviewed and updated the previous ordinance which commissioners considered Tuesday. Email: barbara richardson996@gmail.comSMOKINGFROM PAGE 1A PHOTO PROVIDEDVolunteers cleaned up trash „ including hundreds of cigarette butts „ Stump Pass Beach State Park and Englewood Beach in Charlotte County after July 4, 2021. Sarasota County Commissioners voted 4-1 this week to ban cigarette smoking at that countys beaches beginning Oct. 1.In the 2022-2023 season, growers produced 1.81 million boxes of grapefruit, down from 3.33 million boxes in the 2021-2022 season. The state also produced 480,000 boxes of specialty crops, mostly tangerines and tangelos, down from 750,000 boxes in 2021-2022. The industry uses a standard of 90-pound boxes. Chances of a rebound might be two or three years o, as new plantings take hold and surviving trees recover from the stresses of getting hammered last fall by Hurricane Ian. But growers hope that ongoing testing will help make trees resistant to citrus greening disease, which has ravaged groves for two decades. Also, they are looking for federal disaster-relief money to start ”owing. Theres always going to be pressures from development and other things. Alternative crops. Alternative uses for the land. But we still have almost 400,000 acres of citrus in the state of Florida. Thats a massive footprint,Ž Matt Joyner, CEO of the Bartow-based Florida Citrus Mutual, said. Im not sure „ „ other than maybe grazing land „ „ any other single commodity has probably more than that,Ž Joyner added. So, theres a lot of room to rebuild this industry as we continue to learn how to grow in a greening (disease) environment.Ž Hurricane Ian made landfall in late September in Southwest Florida and crossed the state through prime citrus-growing areas. But the industry was already buckling from development pressures, foreign imports and citrus greening, and an early-season forecast anticipated a drop in production as a fruit per treeŽ count was down. Ian in”icted up to $675 million in damage to citrus groves, according to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Between 9 percent and 11 percent of Floridas 55 million citrus trees were lost in the storm, with the eects of ”ooding still being felt by trees that held up. Growers are planting now, but you will see that expedited if we get this federal aid across the “nish line,Ž Joyner said. Members of Floridas congressional delegation continue to push for a block grant to disperse assistance to citrus growers. The money would come from a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill passed in December that included $3.742 billion for crop and livestock losses across the nation in 2022 and the upcoming Farm Bill. A measure that recently passed the U.S. House and awaits action by the U.S. Senate would give the U.S. Department of Agriculture authority to issue block grants. The 2023-2024 Florida budget, which took eect July 1, increases funding for various aspects of the citrus industry from $37 million to $65 million. The bulk, $49.5 million, will go to citrus protection and research, including large-scale “eld trials on trees that are resistant to huanglongbing, the formal name for citrus greening.CITRUSFROM PAGE 1ABiden said Zelenskyy now understands that whether his country is formally in NATO is not relevant as long as he has commitmentsŽ such as security guarantees. ŽSo hes not concerned about that now.Ž On the “nal day of NATOs summit, the alliance launched a new forum for deepening ties with Ukraine: the NATOUkraine Council. Its intended to serve as a permanent body where the alliances 31 members and Ukraine can hold consultations and call for meetings in emergency situations. The setting is part of NATOs eort to bring Ukraine as close as possible to the military alliance without actually joining it. On Tuesday, the leaders said in their communique summarizing the summits conclusions that Ukraine can join when allies agree and conditions are met.Ž Today we meet as equals,Ž NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said at a news conference with Zelenskyy. I look forward to the day we meet as allies.Ž The ambiguous plan for Ukraines future membership re”ects the challenges of reaching consensus among the alliances current members while the war continues. The results of the summit are good, but if there were an invitation, that would be ideal,Ž Zelenskyy said, through a translator. He added that joining NATO would be a serious motivating factor for Ukrainian societyŽ as it resists Russia. NATO needs us just as we need NATO,Ž he said alongside Stoltenberg. Ukraines future membership was the most divisive and emotionally charged issue at this years summit. In essence, Western countries are willing to keep sending weapons to help Ukraine do the job that NATO was designed to do „ hold the line against a Russian invasion „ but not allow Ukraine to join its ranks and bene“t from its security during the war. We have to stay outside of this war but be able to support Ukraine. We managed that very delicate balancing act for the last 17 months. Its to the bene“t of everyone that we maintain that balancing act,Ž Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said. Symbols of support for Ukraine are common around Vilnius, where the countrys blue-and-yellow ”ags hang from buildings and are pasted inside windows. One sign cursed Russian President Vladimir Putin. Another urged NATO leaders to hurry upŽ their assistance for Ukraine. However, there was caution inside the summit itself, especially from Biden, who has explicitly said he doesnt think Ukraine is ready to join NATO. Under Article 5 of the NATO charter, members are obligated to defend each other from attack, which could swiftly draw the U.S. and other nations into direct “ghting with Russia. De“ning an end to hostilities is no easy task. Ocials have declined to de“ne the goal, which could suggest a negotiated cease-“re or Ukraine reclaiming all occupied territory. Either way, Putin would essentially have veto power over Ukraines NATO membership by prolonging the con”ict.NATOFROM PAGE 1A The results of the summit are good, but if there were an invitation, that would be ideal.ŽVolodymyr Zelenskyy Ukrainian president PERMISSIONTOADVERTISEThefollowingupdateswereApprovedduringworkshoponMay23,2023,June13,2023,andJune27, 2023.Permissiontoadvertisetherevisions,deletions,and/oradditionsofthefollowingpolicies: Existingpoliciesproposedforaddition,deletionorrevisiontocurrentSchoolBoardPolicy: FloridaUpdateVol.22,No.2PolicyUpdate…March2022 po1120.11 …PreferenceforVeteransinEmployment(Revised), po1216 …DressandGrooming (Revised), po2260 …NondiscriminationandAccesstoEqualEducationalOpportunity(Revised), po2410 …SchoolHealthServices(Revised), po2520 …SelectionandAdoptionofInstructionalMaterials (Revised), po3120.11 …PreferenceforVeteransinEmployment(Revised), po3216 …StaffDressand Grooming(Revised), po4120.11 …PreferenceforVeteransinEmployment(Revised), po4216 …Staff DressandGrooming(Revised), po5511 …DressandGrooming(Revised), po5780 …Student/Parent Rights(Revised), po6110 …GrantFunds(Revised), po6114 …CostPrinciples…SpendingFederalFunds (Revised), po6322 …ConstructionContractingandBidding(Revised), po6325 …Procurement…Federal Grants/Funds(Revised), po6530 …ReemploymentAssistance(Revised), po8405 …SchoolSafety andSecurity(Revised), po8450.01 …ProtectiveFacialCoveringsDuringPandemic/EpidemicEvents (Revised), po9130 …PublicComplaints(Revised) FloridaPolicyUpdateSpecialUpdate…May/June2022 po1213 …StudentSupervisionandWelfare(Revised), po1590 …PersonnelFile(Revised), po2215 … ProgramofInstruction(Revised), po2410 …SchoolHealthServices(Revised), po2417 …Comprehensive HealthEducation(Revised), po3213 …StudentSupervisionandWelfare(Revised), po3590 …Personnel File(Revised), po4213 …StudentSupervisionandWelfare(Revised), po4590 …PersonnelFile(Revised), po5500 …StudentConduct(Revised), po5511 …DressandGrooming(Revised), po5780 …Student/ ParentRights(Revised), po8141 …MandatoryReportingofMisconduct(Revised) OtherPoliciesRequestedtoReview/Revise…May2023 po1430.03 …SickLeave(Revised), po3430.03 …SickLeave(Revised), po4430.03 …SickLeave(Revised) PurposeandEffect:Toupdatethepolicies,conformpoliciestocurrentlegislation,consolidatesimilar policiesonthesamesubject,eliminateredundantandobsoletelanguage,andmakepolicieseasierto “nd,understandanduse.Onceadopted,thenewpolicieswillbeelectronicallypublished,hyperlinked andkeywordsearchable.

The S&P 500 rose 32.90, or 0.7% to 4,472.16 to reach its strongest closing level since April 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 86.01, or 0.3%, to 34,347.43, and the Nasdaq composite gained 158.26, or 1.2%, to 13,918.96. Most stocks rose on Wall Street, from ”ashy Big Tech behemoths to staid utility companies, though the gains faded a bit as the day progressed. The U.S. governments latest update on in”ation showed that consumers paid prices for gasoline, food and other items that were 3% higher overall in June than a year earlier. Thats down from 4% in”ation in May and a bit more than 9% last summer. Perhaps more importantly, it was a touch lower than economists expected. Traders remain nearly convinced the Fed will raise the federal funds rate at its meeting in two weeks to a range of 5.25% to 5.50%, which would be its highest level since 2001. But expectations are also climbing for that to be the “nal increase after rates started last year at virtually zero.Wall Street returns to highest level in more than a year after inflation cools Stopspendingafortuneonadultdiapers.SwitchtoMensLibertyandpaylittletono out-of-pocketcost**ifyouqualifyforcoverage throughMedicare,mostMedicaidplans,private insurance,workerscompensationandVA/Tricare.

PAGE 6A THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By CHRISTOPHER RUGABERAP ECONOMICS WRITERWASHINGTON „ Squeezed by painfully high prices for two years, Americans have gained some much-needed relief with in”ation reaching its lowest point since early 2021 „ 3% in June compared with a year earlier „ thanks in part to easing prices for gasoline, airline fares, used cars and groceries. The in”ation “gure the government reported Wednesday was down sharply from a 4% annual rate in May, though still above the Federal Reserves 2% target. From May to June, overall prices rose 0.2%, up from just 0.1% in the previous month but still comparatively mild. Even with Wednesdays better-than-expected in”ation data, the Fed is considered all but sure to raise its benchmark rate when it meets in two weeks. But with price increases slowing „ or even falling outright „ across a range of goods and services, many economists say they think the central bank could hold o on what had been expected to be another rate hike in September, should in”ation continue to cool. It takes the second hike o the table, if that trend continues,Ž said Laura Rosner-Warburton, senior economist at MacroPolicy Perspectives. Theyre prob ably on hold for the rest of the year.Ž On Wall Street, investors cheered the encouraging news, sending stock and bond prices higher. Investors have been eagerly anticipating the eventual end of the central banks rate increases. The Fed has raised its benchmark rate by a substantial 5 percentage points since March 2022, the steepest pace of increases in four decades. Its expected hike this month will follow the central banks decision to pause its rate increases last month after 10 consecutive hikes. Wednesdays in”ation data may lift hopes that the Fed will achieve a dicult soft landing,Ž in which price increases fall back to 2% without causing a spike in unemployment or a deep recession. Last week, the government reported solid hiring in June, though it slowed compared with earlier this year. The unemployment rate ticked lower, from 3.7% to 3.6%, near a half-century low. When the Fed began raising its key rate a year ago, many economists expected that unemployment would have to rise signi“cantly to curb in”ation. Though in”ation isnt yet fully tamed, some economists say they think it can fall to a level near the Feds 2% target earlier than they had expected. Excluding the volatile food and energy prices, so-called core in”ation was lower last month than economists had expected, rising just 0.2% from May to June, the smallest monthly increase in nearly two years. Compared with a year ago, core in”ation does remain relatively high, at 4.8%, but down from a 5.3% annual rate in May. In just the past two months, overall in”ation, measured year over year, has slowed from nearly 5% in April to just 3% now. Much of that progress re”ects the fading of spikes in food and energy prices that followed Russias invasion of Ukraine last spring. In”ation is now signi“cantly below its peak of 9.1% in June 2022.US inflation hits its lowest point since early 2021 AP FILE PHOTO/ALLISON DINNERA food shopper pushes a cart of groceries on Feb. 13 at a supermarket in Bellower, Calif.Prices ease for gas, groceries and used cars ATTENTION FIREFIGHTERSWereyouexposedtofirefightingfoam?Firefightingfoam,commonlyusedtofightjetfuel fires,hasbeenwidelyusedbythemilitaryandfire departmentssincethemid1950s.However reghng foamcontainschemicalsknownasPFAS, whichhave beenlinkedtoillnesseslikecancer.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 PAGE 7A By FATIMA HUSSEINASSOCIATED PRESSWASHINGTON „ Three large tax preparation “rms sent extraordinarily sensitiveŽ information on tens of millions of taxpayers to Facebook parent company Meta over the course of at least two years, a group of congressional Democrats reported on Wednesday. They say some of that data was then used by Meta to create targeted advertising to its own users, other companies, and to train Metas algorithms. The Democrats report urges federal agencies to investigate and potentially go to court over the wealth of information that H&R Block, TaxAct and TaxSlayer shared with the social media giant. In a letter to the heads of the IRS, the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission and the IRS watchdog, seven lawmakers say their “ndings reveal a shocking breach of taxpayer privacy by tax prep companies and by Big Tech “rms.Ž Their report said highly personal and “nancial information about sources of taxpayers income, tax deductions and exemptions was made accessible to Meta as taxpayers used the tax software to prepare their taxes. That data came to Meta through its Pixel code, which the tax “rms installed on their websites to gather information on how to improve their own marketing campaigns. In exchange, Meta was able to access the data to write targeted algorithms for its own users. The program collected information on taxpayers “ling status, income, refund amounts, names of dependents, approximate federal tax owed, which buttons were clicked on the tax preparers websites and the names of text entry forms that the taxpayer navigated, the report states. Taxpayer data was also shared with Google, through its own tracking tools „ though the “rm told lawmakers that it never used the information to track users on the internet, according to the report. The letter to federal agencies was signed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, Richard Blumenthal, Tammy Duckworth, Bernie Sanders, Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Katie Porter. The lawmakers called for the agencies to immediately open an investigation into this incident.Ž They ask the agencies to investigate and prosecute any company or individuals who violated the law,Ž saying it could result in billions of dollars in criminal liability to the “rms. The Markup, a nonpro“t journalism outlet focusing on technology, initially reported on the data-sharing between tax “rms and Meta in November. TaxAct told The Markup then that it takes the privacy of its customers data very seriouslyŽ and Žendeavors to comply with all IRS regulations.Ž A TaxSlayer representative said Wednesday that the report contains numerous false or misleading statementsŽ regarding the taxpayers personal and “ling information sent to Meta and Google and it will request a retraction or correction from Warrens oce. H&R Block said that it takes protecting client privacy very seriously and has taken steps to prevent the sharing of information through the Pixel coding. And Meta said that it has been clear in its policies that advertisers should not send sensitive information about people through our Business Tools.Ž Doing so is against our policies and we educate advertisers on properly setting up Business tools to prevent this from occurring,Ž the company said in an emailed statement. Our system is designed to “lter out potentially sensitive data it is able to detect.Ž Metas Facebook has a history of failure when it comes to protecting user privacy. One of its biggest scandals erupted in 2018 when investigations revealed that Cambridge Analytica, a “rm with ties to Donald Trumps onetime political strategist Steve Bannon, had paid a Facebook app developer for access to the personal information of about 87 million Facebook users. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign that culminated in Trumps election as the 45th president. Facebook agreed to a $725 million user settlement in that case, and later was “ned $5 billion by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.3 tax prep firms shared extraordinarily sensitive data about taxpayers with Meta, lawmakers say AP FILE PHOTO/JEFF CHIU A Meta sign is displayed at the companys booth on March 22 at the Game Developers Conference 2023 in San Francisco. By JILL COLVINASSOCIATED PRESSNEW YORK „ In a Republican presidential “eld full of candidates opposed to abortion rights, Mike Pence stands out in his embrace of the cause. The former vice president, who is seeking the White House in 2024, is the only candidate who supports a federal ban on abortion at six weeks, before many women know theyre pregnant. He has advocated pulling from the market one of two widely used abortion pills, a medication with a better safety record than penicillin and Viagra. And hes implored his Republican rivals to back a 15-week federal ban as a minimum national standard, which most have not done. In a recent interview, Pence went even further, saying abortion should be banned when a pregnancy isnt viable. Such a standard would force women to carry pregnancies to term even when doctors have determined there is no chance a baby will survive outside the womb. Im pro-life. I dont apologize for it,Ž Pence said. I just have heard so many stories over the years of courageous women and families who were told that their unborn child would not go to term or would not survive. And then they had a healthy pregnancy and a healthy delivery.Ž Doctors disputed Pences characterization, saying there are conditions that are always incompatible with life and others where the chance of survival is so slim that most patients, when previously given the choice, concluded that continuing the pregnancy wasnt worth the risks. Pence, however, is undeterred. I want to always err on the side of life,Ž he said. I would hold that view in these matters because ... I honestly believe that we got this extraordinary opportunity in the country today to restore the sanctity of life to the center of American law.Ž Those comments place Pence “rmly to the right of the 2024 presidential “eld and alone among GOP candidates, who largely declined to take a stance on the issue. And they drew alarms from obstetricians and doctors who say nonviable pregnancies are far more common than people realize. Those range from ectopic pregnancies, when an embryo implants somewhere other than the uterus, to fatal fetal abnormalities and severe pregnancy complications. Banning abortions in these cases, doctors say, leads to outcomes that are cruel and put womens lives and mental health at risk.Pence would ban abortions when pregnancies arent viableHis GOP rivals wont say if they agree PENCE (855)516-1838*Includesproductandlabor;bathtub,showerorwalk-intubandwallsurround.Thispromotioncannotbecombinedwithanyotheroffer.Otherrestrict ionsmayapply.Thisofferexpires9/30/23.Eachdealershipisindependently ownedandoperated.**Thirdparty“nancingisavailableforthosecustomerswhoqualify.Seeyourdealerfordetails.©2023BCIAcrylic,Inc. € Tub-to-ShowerConversions € ReplacementTubs € ReplacementShowers € Walk-inTubs € Low-BarrierShowers € SoakerTubs € Accessoriesandmore!CALLNOW !

I was like, Man, Im really about to play a Grand Slam quarter“nal today. This is cool.Ž He took less than 10 minutes to let that sink in, then, as the 27-year-old American who captivated the crowds at the All England Club and many folks back home put it, was able to lock back in.Ž And so he pushed Medvedev the distance, taking a twosets-to-one lead before running out of aces and energy. Basking in the roars from the stands at No. 1 Court, the unseeded Eubanks came within four points of winning to extend his deepest run, by far, at a major tournament before Medvedev pulled away for a 6-4, 1-6, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-1 victory to reach the Wimbledon semi“nals for the “rst time. Its like his level elevated into the “fth,Ž Eubanks said, where I had a little bit of a drop.Ž If Medvedev was unsteady for a bit, perhaps distracted by a backand-forth with the chair umpire over a stray ball that headed toward the stands, he gathered himself well. By MARC TOPKINTAMPA BAY TIMESMajor League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday that he remains hopeful for real progressŽ in the Rays stadium eorts by years end. Manfred said talks between the team and Tampa Bay area ocials had become more concrete, and he indicated they involved ocials on both sides of the bay. Asked for an update on the Rays situation during a session with the Baseball Writers Association of America in Seattle prior to the All-Star Game, Manfred said: Its complicated. What I would say about the Rays is that they have stayed engaged with governmental entities throughout the bay area. I think that the conversations throughout the region have moved into a more concrete zone in terms of the conversations that are going on. I said I was hopeful that there was going to be real progress there in 23 and I remain hopeful.Ž The Rays are in formal discussions with St. Petersburg and Pinellas County ocials to work out agreements for a new stadium at the Tropicana Field site and a massive redevelopment of the entire area known as the Historic Gas Plant District. They also have said they remain in contact with Tampa and Hillsborough County representatives. County commissioner Ken Hagan said last week that ocials there were perilously closeŽ to making a presentation and opening negotiations. Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg said on opening day he expected a deal somewhere in the Tampa Bay area by the end of the year. Thats my belief. Its a very reasonable anticipation,Ž he said on March 30. And if we dont, then theres not a deal to be done, basically.Ž There have been stories in each of the past two months about groups seeking to buy the Rays based on information from anonymous sources. In response, Sternberg said in a statement: I expect we will build a ballpark in Tampa Bay that will keep the Rays here for generations to come. I also plan on remaining the Rays owner.Ž ARANDA OPTIONED TO DURHAM Out“elder Josh Lowe was reinstated Tuesday from the family medical emergency list after missing the Saturday and Sunday games for an undisclosed matter. In“elder Jonathan Aranda, who was called up from Triple A and went 1-for-8, was optioned back to Durham. The Rays resume play Friday in Kansas City.Manfred seeks progress in Rays stadium talksMLB RACING MLB TENNIS By DAVE SKRETTAAP SPORTS WRITERTony Stewart was busy ripping around Indiana short tracks some three decades ago, and winning just about every midget and Silver Crown race on his way to IndyCar and NASCAR stardom, with no idea who was watching on television. Turns out a lot of people. Dale Earnhardt was one of them. You see, Don Hawk was the president of Dale Earnhardt Inc. back in those days, and he remembers wrapping up Thursdays at the track with the Hall of Fame driver and heading out for an early dinner. The reason was simple: They wanted to get back to a hotel in time to watch Thursday Night Thunder,Ž the pioneering program on ESPN that made Stewart and other drivers famous. Thursday Night Thunder is where I met Je Gordon and met Tony Stewart, and I met them through a TV screen,Ž Hawk recalled this week. The last winner of Thursday Night Thunder, I believe in the year 2002 when they signed o the air, was Tony Stewart, and he will be the “rst one to race when they return to the air.Ž That happens this Thursday, when ESPN reintroduces the program with the return of SRX, a series that Stewart co-founded with Sandy Montag and George Pyne a few years ago to bring together top drivers from various series in spec race cars. Hawk serves as the CEO after many years working for NASCAR and Speedway Motorsports Inc. The key for us moving to Thursday night was the power of ESPNs brand and everything that goes with that,Ž said Montag, whose series the past two years aired on CBS and streaming on Paramount. With Wimbledon now on ESPN and ABC, and the ESPYs coming up and baseball, it just made sense for us to shift away from Saturday night to Thursday night. Thursday Night Thunder may have been 30 years ago when it started,Ž Montag said, but I think the brand really resonated with Tony. We just thought it made a ton of sense and were excited to get going.Ž Stewart retired from his fulltime NASCAR career in 2016 but remains deeply involved in racing. He still drives from time to time and owns a part By RONALD BLUMAP BASEBALL WRITERSEATTLE „ Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred will consider increasing time on the pitch clock for the postseason but is reluctant to adjust an innovation the sport considers a great success. In the “rst season of the clock, the average time of a nine-inning game is 2 hours, 38 minutes, on track to be the fastest since 1984. It is down from 3:04 last year and 3:09 in 2021, the last season before PitchCom was introduced. Were going to continue to talk to the players,Ž Manfred told the Baseball Writers Association of America on Tuesday. I think you ought to play the postseason the way you play the regular season. Theres exceptions. Im open-minded on that topic.Ž The clock is set at 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. There also are restrictions on defensive shifts and limits on pitcher disengagements. I dont believe theres any player, nor do I believe there are too many folks that want to have a new rule dramatically aect a game in a pennant chase or in the playos,Ž union head Tony Clark told the BBWAA. Players believe and weve been pretty consistent with this, that there are some adjustments that could be bene“cial in the grand scheme of things so that were not having a conversation about a new rule and instead focused in on the game being played.Ž MLB has a majority of the 11-member competition committee, which includes four players. We are comfortable with the way the clock and the violations, particularly late in the game in high-leverage situations weve been watching, have been managed,Ž Manfred said, There were 721 violations through July 4, of which 501 were by pitchers, 208 by batters and 12 by catchers.

Stewart won the initial SRX title two years ago „ IndyCar driver Marco Andretti is the defending champion „ and will be back as a full-time driver this year along NASCAR star Brad Keselowski, IndyCar driver Ryan Hunter-Reay and many others. The series opens at Staord Motor Speedway in Connecticut, where tickets sold out weeks ago for Thursday nights race. That kicks o six consecutive weeks of racing with stops at Thunder Road Speedbowl in Vermont, Motor Mile Speedway in Virginia, Berlin Raceway in Michigan, Eldora and Lucas Oil Speedway in Missouri. Racing with these unique drivers, thats the best part of it,Ž Stewart said, but the other thing Im super excited about is being back on ESPN on Thursday nights. Thats how I got recognized by car owners back in the day.Ž The shift from Saturday night also provided a chance to compete for several drivers who would have been unavailable. The amount of interest in drivers wanting to join the series was astronomical this year,Ž said Stewart, adding that his wish list for the future includes two drivers that remain unavailable: Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Thats two guys that are superstars and thats what this series is about: superstars,Ž Stewart said. Those are two guys that belong in this series and have earned their right to drive in this series.Ž Other drivers expected to compete this season include reigning Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden, four-time Indy 500 champion Helio Castroneves, three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin and two-time NASCAR Cup Series champ Kyle Busch.THUNDERFROM PAGE 9AHappy that I managed to put myself back together. There was a moment in the match I started just losing kind of everything „ the focus, the momentum of the match,Ž said the No. 3-seeded Medvedev, who will face No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the semi“nals on Friday. When I started losing it, I was like, All right, whats happening? Why is it happening like this?Ž Alcarazs 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-4 victory over No. 6 Holger Rune at Centre Court was the “rst mens quarter“nal at Wimbledon in the Open era, which dates to 1968, with two players who are not yet 21. Both Spains Alcaraz, who won last years U.S. Open, and Denmarks Rune are 20. When Alcaraz smacked a backhand return winner to seal the “rst set, he threw threw his head back and screamed. He paused for a second and screamed again. He strutted to the sideline, head held high, and yelled, then got to the sideline and yelled Vamos! Vamos!Ž It was nerves. Tension. It was everything,Ž Alcaraz explained later. In the womens quarter“nals, Ons Jabeur eliminated defending champion Elena Rybakina 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-1 in a rematch of last years title match, and reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka defeated No. 25 seed Madison Keys 6-2, 6-4. Jabeur, known more for her spins and slices and variety than her power, actually opted for trading big swings with Rybakina, whose game is built that way. If you want to hit hard,Ž Jabeur said, Im ready to hit hard, too.Ž No. 6 Jabeur plays No. 2 Sabalenka on Thursday, when the other semi“nal will be between unseeded players Elina Svitolina and Marketa Vondrousova. None of the four remaining women has won Wimbledon; Sabalenka is the only one who already owns a major trophy. Sabalenka, who is from Belarus, and Medvedev, who is from Russia, were banned from the All England Club a year ago, along with every player representing those two countries, over the invasion of Ukraine. The war continues, but Russians and Belarusians were allowed back this time. If Alcarazs victory was altered by the “rst-set tiebreaker „ He gained more con“dence from that set; I didnt,Ž Rune said „ Medvedevs started to tilt midway through the fourthset tiebreaker. Eubanks put a forehand in a corner that drew a netted backhand from Medvedev, making it 3-all. Many in the seats rose, cheering wildly, and Eubanks pumped his right “st, staring toward the support. The fans,Ž he would say afterward, de“nitely got their moneys worth.Ž Medvedevs take on the way spectators backed Eubanks over the past 1 1/2 weeks, which included wins against No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas and No. 12 Cam Norrie: Maybe his tennis. Maybe hes underdog.Ž Maybe. And maybe Eubanks, who is from Atlanta and was a college All-American at Georgia Tech, enjoyed that 3-all moment in the tiebreaker just a tad too much. Then again, hard to blame a guy who came into this tournament with a career record of 2-8 at the majors and who never had won an ATP title until the week before Wimbledon began. So close to moving on, Eubanks faltered. So close to the brink, Medvedev surged, taking four of the following “ve points and pushing things to a “fth set. Medvedev smacked a forehand winner. Eubanks sailed a forehand wide. Eubanks pushed a forehand return long. After Eubanks saved one set point with a service winner, he ceded the next by ”ubbing a forehand volley. Medvedev, who won 28 of the 30 points he served in that set, shook his racket. He was fully back in the match „ and, it turned out, on his way to a win. Thats why he is who he is,Ž Eubanks said, and thats why hes done the things that hes done in the sport.Ž As intimidating a server as the lanky, 6-foot-7 Eubanks might be, Medvedev hit more aces, 28-17. And while Eubanks “nished with more winners, 7452, to raise his tournament total to 321 and break Andre Agassis 1992 mark for most winners at a single Wimbledon (since 1977), Medvedev played incredibly cleanly. He only made 13 unforced errors, 42 fewer than Eubanks „ although Medvedev questioned the accuracy of his count. When the match ended, when Eubanks wonderful ride was over, he was sent o toward the locker room by a loud and lengthy standing ovation „ as his pal, 2022 French Open runner-up Coco Gau, captured the scene with her phone camera. Eubanks paused his walk. He turned to all sections of the arena to wave and then put his hands together overhead in the shape of a heart, soaking it all in.WIMBLEDONFROM PAGE 9Aviolations, followed by Torontos Chris Bassitt with nine and San Diegos Joe Musgrove with seven. In a big spot,Ž Kimbrel said Monday, if its 1-2, 0-2, Im really thinking about my pitch and wanting to make a good pitch. Im not going to rush just to get the pitch o. Id rather take the ball.Ž Left-handed batters are hitting .248, up 13 points through the similar point last season. Righties are hitting .248, up one point, leaving the overall batting average up six points. Runs per game have increased to 9.1 from 8.7 and steals per game to 1.4 from 1.0. Average attendance of 28,404 is up 8.1% from a similar time last year and on track to be the highest since 2018, and MLB says the median age of ticket buyers is 43, down from 46 in 2022 and 49 in 2019.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 PAGE 11A By ROB MAADDIAP PRO FOOTBALL WRITERPatrick Mahomes already is a two-time Super Bowl MVP and AP NFL MVP before turning 28, compiling an impressive Hall of Fame-worthy resume in only six seasons. If any player is ever going to challenge Tom Brady for GOAT „ greatest of all time „ status, Mahomes has the best chance. Like Brady and other superstar athletes, Mahomes still works to improve, aiming to keep the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl contention. I think everybody thinks about legacy and how theyre remembered, but you have to think about that at the same time, valuing every day and how you can become better, how you can really maximize every single day,Ž Mahomes said on the AP Pro Football Podcast. And then whenever your career is done, you have no regrets. Thats what Ive always preached. Its not about success of that day, its about having no regrets at the end of your career. And I think if you work hard every single day and put everything you have into the game, then when you look back at the end of your career and however many trophies you have or how many Super Bowl rings you have, youll have no regrets.Ž Mahomes has led the Chiefs to “ve straight AFC championship games, three Super Bowl appearances and two championships in his “ve seasons as the starting quarterback. With Brady now retired after winning seven rings with New England and Tampa Bay, Mahomes takes over as the face of the NFL. Its just another title to the dynamic QB. I embrace being me,Ž Mahomes said. I think thats the biggest thing. Its de“nitely cool to see your name on the news line or to be able to partner with great companies like Walmart and do all these great things. But at the same time, I just try to be the best me I can be and whatever else comes with that comes with that.Ž No team has repeated as Super Bowl champs since Bradys Patriots in 2003-04. Its a daunting task in todays NFL. The Chiefs are embracing the challenge. Theyre favorites to win it again this season, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. I think its so dicult because theres so much player movement these days,Ž Mahomes said, pointing to free agency, trades and the draft. Every team is getting better and better each and every year. Its hard to win the Super Bowl. Ive noticed that from my “rst one to my second. You can do everything the right way and you dont win. So to be able to repeat it, you have to just continue to work and work and work and try to get yourself in position to win those big games. Im con“dent in us because we have a lot of guys coming back now that have won a Super Bowl and been in that big moment. But we have to go out there and prove it and it starts next week.ŽMahomes focused on winning more than his legacy AP PHOTO/CHARLIE RIEDEL Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes arrives at a ceremony for team members to receive their championship rings for winning NFL footballs Super Bowl LVII, on June 15, in Kansas City, Mo.NFL 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 18AMERICAN LEAGUE Fridays GamesMiami at Baltimore, 7:05 p.m. Arizona at Toronto, 7:07 p.m. Chicago White Sox at Atlanta, 7:20 p.m. Boston at Chicago Cubs, 8:05 p.m. Cleveland at Texas, 8:05 p.m. Tampa Bay at Kansas City, 8:10 p.m. N.Y.

PAGE 12A THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com By STEPHEN HAWKINSAP SPORTS WRITERARLINGTON, Texas „ Brett Yormark was de“nitely trying to send a message during his introduction as the Big 12 commissioner last year when he said the league was open for business.Ž A year into the job, Yormark said that statement was more than just about ongoing realignment and the potential of additional expansion during a transformative time throughout college football. I think people took that as, my god, this guys new and he wants to go and disrupt, I guess, in some respects,Ž Yormark said Wednesday at the start of Big 12 football media days. Open for business was that we were going to explore every and all possibility to grow revenue, to diversify our conference and do things that hadnt been done before. And we did a lot of that.Ž And, yes, there is still a plan for expansion, even though Yormark doesnt really want to talk about it. The Big 12 is already bigger after BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF ocially became members July 1, about 17 months after their invitations to the evolving conference. There will be 14 teams this fall with Texas and Oklahoma, the leagues only remaining national champions in football, playing their “nal seasons before heading to the Southeastern Conference next summer. We do have a plan and hopefully we can execute that plan sooner than later,Ž Yormark said, without being speci“c. I love the composition of this conference right now. ... And if we stay at 12 (teams), were perfectly “ne with that.Ž Yormark said the Big 12 isnt chasing a certain number of schools. Before becoming commissioner, Yormark had never had a job in college athletics. He came from Jay-Zs Roc Nation, where he was the chief operating ocer on the commercial side of the business. He is a former CEO of the NBAs Brooklyn Nets and also worked for NASCAR. When I took this job, it was the “rst time I really experienced college football. And candidly, Im hooked,Ž he said. At the end of the Big 12s spring business meetings last month, Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec said there was a great deal of enthusiasm about the state of the conference and prospects for the future. The general sense is that when we hired Brett Yormark we hit the jackpot,Ž Schovanec said. It was a little less than a year ago when we were conducting the search and we were considering our possibilities. Some were identi“ed as moderate reward, moderate risk. One was identi“ed as high risk, high reward, and we went with the high risk, high reward, and were bene“ting.Ž The Big 12 last fall extended its media rights deal with ESPN and Fox Sports through the 2030-31 school year, which Yormark said created stability and clarity for the league. That deal was set to expire in two years, after the departures of Texas and Oklahoma.Yormark: Open for business is more than expansion AUSTIN AMERICANSTATESMAN/SARA DIGGINS Mascots listen to Big 12 C ommissioner Brett Yormack speak at the opening of the NCAA college football Big 12 media days on Wednesday in Arlington, Texas. ASSOCIATED PRESSMOULINS, France „ Jasper Philipsen is in a class of his own when it comes to sprinting at the Tour de France. He is so strong that even when the teammate in charge of setting him up is not there, he still wins in the end. The Belgian sprinter posted his fourth stage win at this years Tour de France on Wednesday, taking his career tally to six. Its been an incredible Tour so far,Ž Philipsen said after outclassing the “eld. I cant realize how good it is all going, so Im super proud and really happy with my shape. And also, to get through the “nal without problems is also a big challenge, and we managed to do it four times, so Im super happy.Ž There were no major changes in the general classi“cation: Jonas Vingegaard kept his 17-second lead over two-time champion Tadej Pogacar. Jai Hindley remained in third place, 2 minutes, 40 seconds o the pace. Philipsen, who rides for Alpecin…Deceuninck, had been perfectly guided by his leadout man Mathieu van der Poel in his three previous stage wins. Left on his own this time, he perfectly timed his move and once again proved strongest in the frenetic last kilometer of the 180-kilometer (112 miles) Stage 11 from Clermont-Ferrand to Moulins in central France. Philipsen has lost just one of the “ve mass sprints that took place at this years Tour when Mad Pedersen won Stage 8. With van der Poel not taking part in Wednesdays sprint, Philipsen navigated his way through trac at an average speed of 40.8 mph in the last kilometer to join Mark Cavendish as the only active rider with at least four stage wins in a single Tour edition. Cavendish crashed out of the race last week. I can also win without (van der Poel), but of course, he makes it more easy,Ž Philipsen said. After Alexander Kristo launched the sprint, Dylan Groenewegen countered with Philipsen on his wheel. The Belgians power was too much to handle for Groenewegen, who had to be content with a runner-up “nish. Phil Bauhaus completed the stage podium. I had to “nd my wheel a little bit, and its also “nding the space, and its hectic and dangerous for crashing, but Im happy I could “nd a good wheel „ Groenewegen „ in the end, he opened up early, and I could go over,Ž Philipsen summed up. Following a day of furious racing in hot weather that took a toll on the peloton, Andrey Amador moved to the front immediately after the start of the stage but quickly noticed there were not a lot of riders interested in jumping into a break. Amador for a while rode only a few meters ahead of the bunch before Matis Louvel and Daniel Oss joined his eort as they broke away without facing resistance from the peloton. With only three riders in the lead group, the breakaway was doomed to failure and the sprinters team did not react, well aware that they would catch the trio further down the road. The main bunch was happy to sit back for a while, riding at an easy pace on long stretches of ”at roads bordered by sun”owers and “elds.Philipsen secures 4th sprint win at Tour de France AP PHOTO/MARCO BERTORELLO Belgiums Jasper Philipsen celebrat es Wednesday after crossing the nish to win the eleventh stage of the Tour de France.CYCLINGNBA COLLEGE FOOTBALL SOCCER By TIM REYNOLDSAP BASKETBALL WRITERLAS VEGAS „ Theres Kobe, wearing the uniform of a team from Los Angeles. Theres Kobe, the last one on the court at practice and getting yelled at because the buses are waiting for him. How “tting. Just like old times. There will never be another Kobe Bryant, of course. And make no mistake „ Kobe Brown and Kobe Bufkin would be the “rst two players at NBA Summer League to insist that there will never be another Bryant. They would never pretend otherwise. But for the “rst time since the Hall of Famer retired in 2016, the NBA is about to have fans watching guys named Kobe again. Brown is in Summer League with the Los Angeles Clippers. Bufkin is entering his rookie year with the Atlanta Hawks. Both were named for Bryant, who „ for now „ is the only player named Kobe to make it to the NBA. In a couple of months, that seems likely to change. It means a lot,Ž Brown said. Theres de“nitely a target on my back, I feel like. A lot of guys, when they hear the name Kobe, they think of Kobe Bryant. Obviously, Im not him, by any means. But I try to keep that edge and play as hard as I can, just like he did.Ž Its impossible to know exactly how many people are named Kobe. It remains relatively unusual. According to the Social Security Administration, there was a six-year stretch „ 1998 through 2003, coinciding with Bryants early years in the NBA and “rst three championship seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers „ when the trend of giving babies that name peaked; the most was in 2001, when 1,552 baby boys had Social Security card applications “led for them with that name. The name still had a small following, maybe a few hundred babies each year, until 2020, the year that Bryant, daughter Gianna and seven others died in a helicopter crash on a foggy Sunday in Southern California. Another 1,500 boys were given that name that year, surely many in tributes to Bryants life and career; the most popular name that year for newborn boys, according to the government data, was Liam, which was used about 20,000 times. (There were also variations, such as Kobee and Kobey, and a few dozen American newborn girls were given the name as well in 2020.)Kobes legacy lives on in a new way: Two players bear his name AP PHOTO/DAMIAN DOVARGANESFirst-round draft pick Kobe Brown, was selected 30th overall by the Los Angeles Clippers. By ANNE M. PETERSONAP SPORTS WRITERSome of the biggest names in the game wont be playing in the Womens World Cup because of what feels like an epidemic of ACL injuries „ and players are asking why. Netherlands forward Vivianne Miedema, Englands Leah Williamson and Beth Mead, Canadas Janine Beckie and rising U.S. star Catarina Macario are among those sidelined for the tournament starting July 20 in Australia and New Zealand. I think its a multifaceted issue. I dont know if Im the expert in it, even though Ive experienced it,Ž said U.S. mid“elder Andi Sullivan, who tore her ACL in college at Stanford. Theres so many dierent factors that could contribute to that and I think we are a little bit behind on the research as to why, so hopefully now the prevalence will kind of wake people up,Ž Sullivan added. This is an issue we need to pay attention to and look more into preventing and how to handle it better.Ž Last year it was estimated that nearly 60 players in the worlds top professional womens leagues were sidelined because of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Among them was Spains Alexia Putellas, who injured her ACL just before the Euros last July. Putellas, who will play for Spain at the World Cup, partnered with FIFPRO, the international players union, to call attention to the outbreak of ACL injuries and demand a closer look at possible contributing factors including workload, medical care, “eld conditions and even equity. Studies have shown women are up to eight times more likely to suer ACL injuries in sports involving sudden changes of direction, like soccer and basketball, than their male counterparts. Dr. Mark Cullen, the team physician for the University of New Hampshire who specializes in orthopedic surgery, says women have wider hips which impacts knee mechanics. They also tend to land a little bit more sti-legged and dont absorb the forces as well as their male counterparts, and that puts more force on the ACL and contributes to the tears,Ž Cullen said. Katie Rood, who plays professionally in Scotland, was hoping to make New Zealands roster and play in soccers biggest tournament on home soil. But she recently announced that she had joined the ever-growing ACL club.Ž Its been an interesting process so far and one Im sure Ill learn a lot from, especially as its a serious issue in the womens game. Whats hit me quite hard in this situation is just how many times Ive been asked Is the club looking after you?Ž she wrote. Its a reminder that health care and medical treatment isnt often the norm in the womens game and we all know of players being left to fend for themselves after getting seriously injured with their clubs.ŽACL injuries keeping stars out of Womens World Cup AP PHOTO/JON SUPERNetherlands Vivianne Miedema runs with the ball pursued by Frances Charlotte Bilbault, left, during the Women Euro 2022 quarternals soccer match between France and the Netherlands on July 23, 2022 in Rotherham, England, Saturday.

THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM Local News By ELAINE ALLENEMRICHSTAFF WRITERPUNTA GORDA „ Tim Ritchie nearly cried while telling the Punta Gorda City Council his childhood story of when his alcohol-raged father smashed his mothers face. It was just one reason the 59-year-old Punta Gorda resident said Wednesday he didnt want Publix to open a liquor store at Punta Gorda Crossing, 2310 Tamiami Trail. The council held a public hearing to decide whether to grant the stores request for a special exception to change the propertys zoning. This country is in the worse place its ever been,Ž Ritchie said during the public hearing. No, do not pass this.Ž A 13-year Punta Gorda business owner wearing a bright-orange shirt with the words Buy local say no to chain liquor storesŽ asked the council to think about how its decision will aect the livelihood of his and the other locally owned package store owners. Other residents told the council they didnt see a need for another liquor store. Some said Publix already sells alcohol in its stores. Others said Publix liquor store doesnt sell Lotto tickets or a decent bottle of wine,Ž sending customers back to the big box grocery store. Another resident said motorists already struggle to enter U.S. 41 from that plaza, and a liquor store would add to the problem. Local attorney Michael Haymans told the council that Punta Gorda has a sucient numberŽ of liquor stores. By FRANK DIFIORESTAFF WRITERNORTH PORT „ The City Commission is asking city sta to clarify the costs and enforcement needs for a proposed smoking ban at local parks. At a meeting Tuesday night, North Port Commissioners passed a motion to have City Attorney Amber Slayton draft and review an ordinance to ban smoking at the citys public parks. The commission voted last month in favor of such a ban, but had not formally created an ordinance to put the law on the books. Its the right thing to do for our environment and our health,Ž Commissioner Phil Stokes said at the Tuesday meeting. The proposed ban would follow the model allowed under home rule, after the Florida Legislature passed HB 105 last year. The state law allows municipalities and counties to ban the use of cigarettes, un“ltered cigars, and vaping cartridges at public parks and beaches; only “ltered cigars are exempted from the law. North Ports decision to pursue a smoking ban comes after several neighboring jurisdictions, including Charlotte County and Venice, implemented similar bans. Sarasota County commissioners voted 4-1 Tuesday to ban cigarettes (not cigars) at county parks and beaches beginning Oct. 1. However, other North Port Commissioners said they would need more information about what the implementation of such a ban would entail before making a “nal decision. Commissioner Pete Emrich noted that there would be costs for placing new signs, determining where the appropriate place to put smoking sections, and placing ashtrays in those areas for people to place their cigarette butts. Emrich had previously voted in favor of the ban, despite noting that he was a smoker himself. While he acknowledged Stokes concerns about the health risks of second-hand smoke, Emrich said that he wanted to be sure about the costs of implementation. I cant do that without the information,Ž Emrich said at the meeting.

Born on November 7th, 1995, in Fort Myers, Florida, Jace was an extraordinary individual who touched the hearts of many, leaving a lasting mark wherever he went. A devoted husband, caring son and brother, steadfast friend, and inspiring coach, he will be deeply missed by all. In high school, Jace found the two greatest loves of his life, Nikole and football. His love for the game and dedication to his teammates continued into college as he began his career in coaching while pursuing his degree in Education. Upon graduating, Jace returned to his alma mater as a full time Special Education teacher, determined to make an impact in his community. His ambitious work ethic resulted in Jace becoming the Offensive Line Coach and Assistant Athletic Director at Port Charlotte High School. Through this, Jace used his gift of leadership to mentor and serve as a role model for many young men in the community, helping them to lead more meaningful lives. He found his purpose in inspiring young adults and his legacy will continue to shape future generations. Five years ago, football brought Jace back to Christ as he, alongside a few fellow coaches, renewed his faith and was baptized in the Gulf of Mexico. He attended New Day Church where his walk with the Lord became an integral part of his life. A devoted family man, Jace married his high school sweetheart, Nikole, in February of 2023. Their home was a hub of love and laughter, hosting countless family nights and gatherings with friends. Jaces infectious energy brought life to every occasion, and all were always welcome. A true outdoorsman with a spirit of adventure, he was most at home when he was fishing or firing up the grill. He savored time on the water, his zest for life being captured in days spent on his boat with family and friends. Jace was the epitome of selflessness, always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. He possessed an innate ability to brighten the lives of all those around him. With a quick wit and unmatched sense of humor, he spread laughter wherever he went. He was a luminous light to the world. Jace is survived by his beloved wife, Nikole.

Stacy Aloisio, the current emergency management coordinator, will take over for Mike Ryan on Aug. 5, city ocials announced this week. North Port Fire Rescue Chief Scott Titus vouched for Aloisios quali“cations. Stacy competed in a process that involved 18 quali“ed applicants from all over the country,Ž Titus said. She stood out amongst the competition, and we are so excited that she was selected to assume the role of emergency manager.Ž Aloisio previously worked in emergency management roles in Brevard County and Lee County. In a podcast with North Port Communications sta, Aloisio said she “rst became interested in emergency management work after joining a search and rescue team in Las Vegas. Aloisio went on to earn a masters degree in public health, and later moved to Brevard County to start an internship in the “eld. She noted the internship came with plenty of experience thanks to the nearby SpaceX launches, which led to regular EOC activations. She later took up the position of emergency management coordinator in Lee County for more than three years. During the same podcast, she described her experience monitoring Hurricane Ian from the Lee County Emergency Operations Center in September „ in particular, seeing the storms trajectory move south until Lee County was directly in the path. It was heartbreaking,Ž Aloisio said in the podcast. Shortly afterward, she interviewed with Ryan for the coordinator position in North Port and started working with him in December. Ryan himself “rst worked as a “re“ghter in Fairfax, Virginia, starting in 1979. He later served as station captain for Loudoun County, Virginia, eventually being promoted to battalion chief and overseeing recruit and volunteer training. He then transitioned to emergency management, serving as deputy coordinator for Fairfax County in Virginia. When he moved down to Florida in 2012, he continued in that work with Hillsborough County before coming to North Port years later.North Port appoints new emergency managerStacy Aloisio to start on Aug. 5ALOISIO STAFF REPORTNORTH PORT „ Another session of the North Port United event is set for 6 p.m. Thursday at Jockey Club of North Port, 3050 Pan American Blvd. The series has been held by City Manager Jerome Fletcher along with North Port United to bring together North Port leadership and residents, the city noted in a news release. We hope citizens will take this opportunity to come out and engage with their local government, hear updates and information directly from us and have a conversation about the things that matter most to them,Ž Fletcher said.

The winning ticket was for the Fantasy 5 evening draw on Monday night. The ticket was purchased at the Winn-Dixie liquor store at 4100 S. McCall Road in Englewood East. The winning numbers for the evening draw are 3-4-6-21-24. The jackpot prize is reported at $64,215.88, however, the winner will only get half.

Sarasota-based CASTO Healthcare Real Estate announced plans to build The Medical Center at Wellen Park, just east of the River Road and U.S. 41 intersection, according to a news release Tuesday. The three-story building will provide multidisciplinary medical suites for physicians, specialists and healthcare professionals with custom-designed spaces for in-oce procedures and outpatient services,Ž the release states. CASTO joins several health care providers that are expanding services into the fast-growing Wellen Park community. HCA Florida, owners of Englewood Hospital and Fawcett Memorial Hospital, opened oces last year in the West Villages Marketplace Shopping Center. This year, the company bought 30 acres of land at Preto Boulevard and Tamiami Trail, where it plans to build an urgent care center. Sarasota Memorial Hospital has announced plans to build new facilities in North Port, one hospital near Sumter Boulevard and Interstate 75 and a second medical campus in Wellen Park. Construction on CASTOs building is expected to start before the end of 2023. Opening is expected to be in mid-2025. Health care providers have inquired about leasing space, and a few have signed leases to The Medical Center at Wellen Park, Wellen Park ocials reported. By attracting local physicians and medical professionals who have visiting privileges at our nearby hospitals, the medical center adds another layer of comprehensive healthcare,Ž Wellen Park President Rick Severance stated in the news release. It enhances the choices available to patients in oce or at a nearby local hospital with minimal travel time.Ž CASTO is a third-generation family-owned real estate and property management company founded in Columbus in 1926, according to Wellen ocials. The company has operated residential and commercial holdings in Florida since 1995, the release states. In 2018, the company branched out into the medical “eld. Wellen Park oers a great location for medical professionals and the communitys tremendous growth will appeal to doctors seeking to establish or expand a successful practice,Ž said Aaron Ruben, executive vice president of CASTOs southeast operations and the leasing agent for the Wellen Park center.

The commission also voted for an amendment to have city sta estimate costs and anticipated workload evaluation for enforcement. Emrich was the only commissioner to vote against the motion and the amendment. Commissioner Debbie McDowell, who had previously voted to oppose the ban, voted in favor of the motion. She said during the meeting that she was unlikely to support a “nal ordinance if it appeared to place law enforcement in an awkward position to enforce it. Our police have far better things to do, especially when the state is allowing cigars,Ž McDowell said, also noting her status as a former smoker. Vice Mayor Alice White, who proposed the motion passed on Tuesday, said she believed having the law in place at all would deter most people from smoking at the park. Mayor Barbara Langdon previously voted against the ban over concerns about implementation cost. However, she voted for the motion on Tuesday in the hope of compiling the needed information. She also said she believed that the states exception for un“ltered cigars would likely not be a loophole exploited by many. I dont often encounter cigars outside, except on the golf course,Ž Langdon said. Assistant City Manager Julie Bellia warned that some residents of nearby jurisdictions have already begun to challenge the legality of other bans, and so caution might be called for ahead of implementation. In response, commissioners said that they would still like to see North Port catch up to its neighbors rather than fall behind the curve Email: frank.di“ore@ yoursun.comSMOKINGFROM PAGE 1B STAFF REPORTNORTH PORT „ The bridge at Pan American Boulevard will be temporarily closed for repairs starting Monday. In a news release Wednesday, the city of North Port announced the bridge over the Cocoplum Waterway „ just o Tamiami Trail „ will be closed for emergency repairsŽ to the bridge approaches due to erosion. The repairs start at 7 a.m. Monday, July 17, and is anticipated to be complete by 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 20. In the meantime, detours will be available via South Biscayne Drive to Glenallen Boulevard and North Port Boulevard to Appomattox Drive and Sprig Haven Drive. Please drive safely and be mindful of neighbors when detouring through these areas,Ž the news release read.Pan American Boulevard bridge closed for repairs next weekRepairs anticipated to be finished by July 20 He said the board was charged to control the density of uses that have negative impacts. Please protect your community,Ž he said. Geri Waksler, a land use and zoning attorney in Punta Gorda, said she had no connections to the request by Publix nor has she represented Publix in her 31 years as an attorney. But, after listening to residents, she wanted to clarify the process and the councils role during the quasi-judicial hearing. She said council members should only make decisions based on the facts presented and not the residents outcries. While residents say there are too many liquor stores and they dont think a new one is a good “t for the neighborhood, those are opinions, Waksler said. The council can only consider competent substantial evidence,Ž she said. They cannot base their decision on anything but the law and evidence presented at the hearing.Ž Publix attorney Nicole Neugebauer echoed Wakslers comments, adding the chain has hundreds of stores, but only 300 liquor stores and wants to make an investment in Punta Gorda.Ž The council was told the liquor store meets the parking and zoning requirements. Vice Mayor Melissa Lockhart made a motion to approve the Publix liquor store based on competent substantial evidence presented at the hearing. The vote was unanimous to approve the special exception. IN OTHER COUNCIL BUSINESS: € The board voted 5-0 to help the nonpro“t Light the Night Committee pay for expenses related to the Christmas tree-lighting ceremony through a public private partnership. The city will pay for “re and police (road closure and trac) services needed from 5:30-9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1. € The board reviewed past attorney general opinions about municipalities leasing public buildings to nonpro“ts. Lockhart is concerned the Punta Gorda Boat Club, which some on the council are members of, may not be using the building for a public purpose, because it ropes o parking areas, hasnt been cooperative at times with the public and charges a membership fee.

PAGE 4B THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com OUR VIEWGrowth at airport is exciting and challenging OUR POSITION: Things couldnt be going much better at the Punta Gorda Airport and thats evidence of a solid relationship between the Charlotte County Airport Authority and Allegiant Airlines.Pardon members of the Charlotte County Airport Authority if you hear them crowing a little bit. And dont think Allegiant Airlines executives are being cocky if they brag about their performance in Charlotte County. Both entities have reasons to feel good right now. First of all, think about the fact that Allegiant ”ies 600 routes in the U.S.A. And, of those 600, Punta Gorda is the No. 4 destination for its passengers. Allegiant serves 124 cities and only three of them are more popular than our Southwest Florida airport. And, when Allegiants Sunseeker Resort in Port Charlotte opens in October, the airline expects even more demand for ”ights in and out of Punta Gorda. Even better news might be how the passenger count at the airport continues to grow „ even with construction going on that has called for a reduction in ”ights by Allegiant, the airports top carrier. Airport CEO James Parish recently gave a report to the authority members that indicated growth continues despite a year when ”ight numbers were forced to be curtailed. With parts of the airport still under repair because of Hurricane Ian, nearly 10 months ago, Allegiant cut back some ”ights this year. But, as fall and winter seasons near, Parish said he expects business to boom. But, even with the small cut in ”ights the past couple of months, the airport is expected to break last years record for passengers. Parish said there are about 4,000 more passengers this year than at this time last year. And, with 920,000 passengers ”ying into Punta Gorda already, the airport is on course to equal or surpass last years record numbers of more than 1.8 million passengers. And there are a number of other good things happening at the airport. Those include: € The seven rental car companies are adding revenue to the airport. € A new in-line baggage system is being built. € The new taxiway G is nearing completion along with runway and commercial terminal expansions. € New T-hangars are in the works. € Self-serve gasoline sales at the airport are up. Meanwhile, work on a partnership between the airport and Charlotte County Schools for a ”ight school is ongoing. The Legislature has approved $3 million for a combined hangar and classroom facility for Charlotte Technical Colleges FAA-certi“ed Aviation Maintenance Technician School. The school will “ll a great need demand for more airplane mechanics is at a critical stage Parish said a larger $6 million training facility at Punta Gorda Airport is necessary to meet that demand. The new facility will provide on-the-job training with the goal of the area becoming a hub for avionics and aircraft maintenance businesses. Were excited about the growth at the airport and anxious to see the impact Sunseeker Resort will have. The concept of the resort, when the idea “rst materialized, was for it to be more than a getaway for couples and families. Allegiant will pitch the location as a great place to hold conventions with full ”ights from all over the Midwest and Eastern U.S. expected to bring conventiongoers to Punta Gorda to not only experience the resort but to take in all the area has to oer. The authoritys challenge wont be to bring growth to the airport, but to meet the demands of thousands of new passengers each year. Biden is a president for all AmericansE:On a recent visit to South Carolina, a red state that overwhelmingly voted for former president Trump in 2020, President Joe Biden discussed some of the projects in that state resulting from the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the In”ation Reduction Act. Biden acknowledged that these new laws, passed predominantly by Democrats, will do more for Republican-dominated states (including Florida) than for Democratic ones. He commented, Well, thats okay with me, because were all Americans. My view is: Wherever the need is most, thats the place we should be helping. The progress were making is good for all Americans, all of America.Ž How refreshing to have a president who speaks proudly of helping all Americans, not just those who voted for him! Sources: https://www.whitehouse. gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/ Florida-BIL-State-Fact-Sheet-Nov-22. pdf https://www.whitehouse.gov/ wp-content/uploads/2022/08/ Florida.pdf F D EnglewoodGOP wannabes must support party candidateE:There has been some controversy amongst Republican Party members whether or not presidential candidates must sign a pledge to support the Republican nominee in the general election before the upcoming Republican debate in August in order to participate. This is a no brainerŽ and there should not be any controversy. This is about winning the 2024 general election for the White House. This is why the candidates should be civil with each other and be careful of speaking too ill of each other. The candidates and all Republican voters should be mindful of their unintended consequences if they do not support or vote for the eventual nominee. Republicans who refuse to vote for the nominee are a bigger threat to the party than a Democrat voter. Hold your nose and do the right thing and vote Republican if your favorite candidate is not the nominee. Because I know Republicans are capable of blowing this election, my personal best worstŽ case scenario is a RFK or Joe Manchin White House. But I will vote Republican. K DV Punta Gorda PUBLISHER Glen Nickerson COMMENTARY EDITOR John HackworthViewpoint Eisai Co. and Biogen Inc.s Alzhiemers drug Leqembi has been granted full approval by the Food and Drug Administration, making it the “rst disease-slowing drug to secure that full blessing. In theory, the move should signi“cantly expand Leqembis availability to patients eagerly awaiting new and better options to alter the course of that mind-robbing disease. In practice, the rollout is likely to take longer than patients and their families would like. Peter Ljubenkov, a neurologist at the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, is excited to “nally be able to oer his patients Leqembi, but stresses that this drug requires a lot of expertise to give and a lot of infrastructure to give.Ž He has been part of the months-long eort to prepare the University of California hospital network for Leqembis arrival, a work in progress at memory centers around the country. Leqembi received a conditional approval from the FDA in January. But its use was severely limited because the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said it would not pay for the drug, which carries an annual list price of $26,500, until it had received full approval based on evidence that it could slow down the course of the disease. With last weeks announcement, Leqembi has cleared that hurdle. But many pieces still have to fall into place before most patients will be able to receive it, says Amanda Smith, director of clinical research at the University of South Floridas Health Byrd Alzheimers Institute. The “rst challenge is identifying the right patients. To be eligible, people need to be in the early stages of the disease and have con“rmation they have Alzheimers and not another form of dementia. That requires objective evidence that their brains are coated with clumps of protein called amyloid, which the drug clears away. That requires either a special PET scan that detects amyloid or a lumbar puncture to analyze cerebral spinal ”uid. But theres a catch: Amyloid PET scans, the less invasive detection method, are not covered by Medicare. The health agencys longstanding argument against coverage has been that the test, which can cost $3,000 or more, isnt necessary for treatment. Leqembis approval undermines that argument. CMS should promptly agree to pay for these scans. And theres another hurdle. Even if a patients disease is con“rmed by tests, neurologists will need to have a nuanced discussion with the patient about the risks of Leqembi. People taking blood thinners, for example, or those with two copies of a gene called ApoE4, are are at a higher risk of experiencing more serious brain bleeding and swelling „ a side eect the FDA underscored by adding a black box warning to the drugs label. Even without those risk factors, patients will need an MRI to con“rm they dont have signs of brain bleeding before treatment begins, and then several more scans during treatment to monitor for swelling or bleeds. Finally, theres one more obstacle: Medicares requirements for coverage of the drug. CMS will only pay for Leqembi (and any similar drugs that receive approval) if data is collected on the drugs ecacy and safety in the real world, rather than in the highly regimented setting of a clinical trial. To capture that information, physicians will have to register patients in a yet-to-be determined registry. Without knowing how onerous that registry will be, it is prob ably the next rate-limiting step toward getting people this drug in an equitable way,Ž Ljubenkov says. All of this could be even more dicult to manage if lots of patients wants the drug. In theory, as soon as that FDA approval comes out, we may see an in”ux of patients that are unlike the typical patients that go to memory clinics,Ž Ljubenkov says. Usually, people come to a clinic late in their disease, but now that theres a treatment available for mild disease, patients just starting to experience symptoms may be more motivated to get a diagnosis, he says. Access isnt the only challenge facing the drug. Some physicians might prescribe it too readily. My biggest fear is that the community doctors might just prescribe it without really understanding the implications of it „ and prescribe it for people who it is really not appropriate for,Ž Smith says. Shes already seen how this can go when she inherited patients from a physician who had overprescribed Aduhelm, an earlier Alzheimers drug whose conditional approval severely limited its use. Fully half of them were people I never would have started on it in the “rst place because they were already too advanced,Ž she says. But the FDAs decision is an important “rst step. Leqembis approval puts us on the path to “guring out a better system for caring for patients as the next drugs come along. Lets hope its just a bumpy beginning to a new era in Alzheimers treatment. Lisa Jarvis is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering biotech, health care and the pharmaceutical industry.

Daily Break THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 | YOURSUN.COM By MARK MESZOROS THE NEWSHERALD, WILLOUGHBY, OHIODavid Goyer isnt the “rst person to want to bring an adaptation of novelist Isaac Asimovs science-“ction FoundationŽ books to the screen, but hes the person who got it done. With a reasonably strong 10-episode debut season having aired in 2020 on Apple TV+, the second season is set to debut July 13 on the streaming service with the “rst of 10 more installments. Its kind of a fever dream,Ž says Goyer, the showrunner and executive producer, in a recent video interview. Its taken about four-and-a-half years „ almost “ve years „ of my life so far just bringing these two seasons to screen,Ž continues Goyer, who has myriad television-writing (FlashForward,Ž Da Vincis DemonsŽ) and movie-writing (Batman Begins,Ž Man of SteelŽ) credits on his resume. But weve got 20 episodes under our belt, and I look back at it and Im really proud of what weve accomplished. And, you know, I did the impossible, and I think its pretty good. So Im happy.Ž Published in the 1950s, the late Asimovs stories involve a Galactic Empire, one predicted to end by the mathematician Hari Seldon through the theory of psychohistory. Seldon is able to start the Foundation, a body whose work is aimed at greatly shortening a period of darkness that, according to his work, otherwise will last 30,000 years. The new season brings back primary characters from the “rst „ including Seldon, as inhabited by Jared Harris (Mad Men,Ž ChernobylŽ) „ even though it begins more than a century after the events of the “rst-season “nale. Seldons continued existence is one change Goyer and the other writers have made from the books, another being the clever invention of the ongoing Empire-ruling triumvirate of brothersŽ Dawn (Cassian Bilton), Day (Lee Pace) and Dusk (Terrence Mann), each a clone of Emperor Cleon the First at a dierent phase of life. In a conversation edited for length and clarity, Goyer „ who directs two episodes this season after directing the Season 1 capper „ discusses updating the saga while trying to stay true to Asimovs vision, what the second season has in store for viewers and what it will take for them to see a third. Given the large scale and epic nature of the show, there must have been lessons you learned from the rst season that youve applied going forward. Absolutely. Well, the obvious advantage is we were not as burdened with so much expositional sort of pipe laying as we were in Season 1 so we could hit the ground running a bit faster in Season 2. I wanted to dig even deeper emotionally. I wanted to introduce more love stories. Asimov also displayed a lot of wry sense of humor in his writings, and so I wanted to introduce more appropriate levity in the story because I think anytime you can get the audience to laugh with you, youre connecting with them emotionally and its easier to then make them cry „ if youve gotten them to laugh “rst. I was determined to peel back the layers of Hari Seldon as a character, which is something I think youll see from the very “rst frame of the show. And I was determined not to go by the same playbook that we did in Season 1, because often you get that from the people that youre working with: Can you do the same thing but just, like, 10% dierent or 10% bigger?Ž And thats boring, and thats where just creatively as an artist you go to die. So I just wanted to keep pushing ourselves and just let the show that is FoundationŽ now (and) to have it keep evolving. Well, to that end, theres the obligatory question. Youre a fan of the novels, but youre making a show for a modern audience. And as with any adaptation, youve made changes. Can you talk about the balance of trying to stay true to Asimovs larger story and themes and crafting the show you want to make? That is the $64,000 question, right? We do not set out to change as much as we can; we actually set out to retain as much as we can „ and identify in each season or each storyline (the core elements). I like what were doing. Ive always called the show a remixŽ „ the same way that Damon Lindelof referred to his WatchmenŽ work as a remix. There are some elements and characters that map fairly closely to events and characters in the books, and there are other characters that start to deviate more. But I liken it to the dierence between Marvel Comics and the (Marvel Cinematic Universe). I think were kind of (50%) Asimov, 50% the show now, roughly. Obviously, one major change is you found a way to keep Hari Seldon in the saga. How much of that choice is your love of the character and how much of it is that Jared Harris is great? Well, its both. But Im certain that had Asimov been initially writing FoundationŽ when (arti“cial intelligence) was the thing that Hari would have appeared not as a holographic tape that you couldnt interact with but (as) an AI that you can interact with. Im absolutely certain that Asimov would have availed himself of that plot development. And so that alone, I think, is sort of a logical progression. But once you follow that through, then Hari Seldon continues to become an active character in the show, and that changes the polarity of the show and it changes it from the books. One fascinating element of the story is the triumvirate leading the Empire: Dawn, Day and Dusk. How much fun have you and the writers had exploring that dynamic? Thats a blast. It was a kind of necessity, born from the fact that the “rst book of FoundationŽ is really an anthology of loosely connected short stories, and we needed an antagonist that had a recurring face throughout the centuries. And thats how we arrived at that plot device. But having arrived at it, it just creates for some juicy storytelling. With Season 2, we kind of said, well, how perverse can we get with his characters?Ž (Laughs) Religion plays a large role this season. Anything you want to tease pertaining to that aspect of the story? Well, that element was in the books. The Church of the Galactic Spirit was something that was in the books, and Asimov was very interested in the intersection between science and religion and the ways that science and religion can be exploited by dierent communities and dierent civilizations. And the place where its dierent, as you cited earlier, is that Seldon still exists in this world. So the one thing that Asimov didnt have to play with was the idea of a character holding himself o as a prophet whos still alive and still interacting with his ”ock „ and whether or not hes a false prophet. And that alone is something that sort of propels the story into a slightly dierent direction. There are reports that youre already making Season 3. Is that true? And is there an overall road map youre working on with an endpoint? That is not true. A lot of thats going to be dependent upon how (Season) 2 is received by the audience. Of course, were thinking about and preparing for (a third season). There is a road map. I did originally pitch eight seasons, 80 episodes to Apple TV+. Well see if we get there. Is there anything else you want to let fans waiting for Season 2 to be thinking about? There are some Easter eggs for the die-hard fans, and theres certainly some clues that we will answer some questions from Season 1. And I would say there are a few questions raised in Season 2 that are not answered. But that doesnt mean we dont have an answer for them. It just means were holding o and theyll be answered in future seasons.Foundation showrunner David S. Goyer talks Season 2The new season brings back primary characters from the first Jared Harris as Hari Seldon in Season 2 of FoundationŽ on Apple TV+. STILLS FROM APPLE TV+/PATRICK REDMONDPoly Verisof, portrayed by Kulvinder Ghir, left, and Brother Constant, played by Isabella Laughland, are members of the Church of the Galactic Spirit in Apple TV+s Foundation.Ž Its taken about fourand-a-half years „ almost ve years „ of my life so far just bringing these two seasons to screen.Ž David S.

PAGE 6B THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 The Daily Sun | www.yoursun.com LOS ANGELES TIMES DAILY CROSSWORD EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS Rating: GOLD JANRIC CLASSIC SUDOKU NEWSDAY CROSSWORD EDITED BY STANLEY NEWMAN THOROUGHFARES MARMADUKE By Brad Anderson By KATIE WALSH TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICEPitch-perfect mockumentary Theater CampŽ opens with some cute archival footage that lets the audience in on the personal history of the “lms creators and stars „ and their theater bona “des. Molly Gordon and Ben Platt grew up together in Los Angeles doing childrens theater, as we see in the VHS footage of the pair performing in such productions as Fiddler on the RoofŽ and How to Succeed in Business Without Really TryingŽ at the tender ages of 4 and 5. Gordon and Platt wrote Theater CampŽ with Platts partner, the actor Noah Galvin, who co-stars, and Nick Lieberman, who directed the “lm with Gordon, based on a short “lm he made. This collective has brought to life one of the funniest, most speci“c comedies of the year: a savvy but loving satire of young theater geeks informed by the comic sensibility of Wet Hot American Summer,Ž with the real-world tales of the famed musical theater camp Stagedoor Manor, captured in the 2005 documentary Stagedoor,Ž the 2003 “lm CampŽ and the book Theater GeekŽ by Mickey Rapkin. AUTHENTIC AND HILARIOUS These collaborators know theater, love theater, and have the references, deep cuts and anthropological knowledge of the childrens theater world to make Theater CampŽ such an authentic and hilarious piece „ it comes from a place of appreciation, and a willingness to make fun of themselves and this world with clear eyes and full hearts. Gordon and Platt star as pretentious, codependent besties Rebecca-Diane and Amos, alumni and teachers at AdirondACTS. The community „ and the documentaryŽ „ is in crisis after camp director Joan Rubinsky (Amy Sedaris) suers a seizure and falls into a coma during a middle school production of Bye Bye Birdie.Ž Her son, Troy (Jimmy Tatro) a clueless business vloggerŽ is now tasked with running the camp in his mothers stead, though he hasnt the foggiest idea of what hes doing. Hes the perfect mark for the predatory Caroline Krauss (Patti Harrison), a representative from a hedge fund aliated with the ritzy Camp Lakeview next door. While Troy is fumbling the business end of camp, Amos and Rebecca-Diane are creatively ”oundering, attempting to stage their half-written original musical Joan, Still,Ž about the life of their beloved, ailing Joan, though the production is foiled by RebeccaDianes odd disappearances. Harried technical director Glenn (Noah Galvin) is the only person keeping everything running behind the scenes, though his innate performance talents threaten to burst forth at any moment. This madcap mockumentary works beautifully because Gordon, Lieberman, Platt and Galvin have taken care to imbue this setting with a real sense of culture and place, populated with wonderfully eccentric characters. The joy of Theater CampŽ is simply swimming around in this world, so perfectly rendered, down to every detail of costume design, and dense, referential dialogue. Theres enough con”ict to keep the 92-minute comedy stretched taut, though its not too complex that it cant all be resolved with a rousing climatic song. When the cast “nally performs Joan, Still,Ž youll laugh, youll cry, youll be shocked and delighted. Every scene feels snatched from a real moment; the edit is swift, propulsive and surgical in its precision. Gordon and Lieberman have skillfully staged every scene like a real documentary, no easy feat with this many child actors. However, these kids are extraordinary talents, belting out Sondheim with the fervor and passion of seasoned stage actors, while bringing a childlike innocence and glee to the proceedings. The joke is, of course, that the material is too advanced for them, and that the teachers treat them like little adults in this strange and special environment. At the end, a tiny moppet hugs Amos and thanks him for being hard on them, and he graciously accepts. For anyone whos ever had a demanding theater teacher, it rings as clear as a bell, as does every other aspect of Theater Camp,Ž a “ne-cut comedic gem engineered with a distinct sensibility and the chops to become a beloved camp classic. Theater CampŽ is in theaters July 14Madcap mockumentary Theater Camp a fine-cut comedic gemIts a savvy but loving satire of young theater geek COURTESY OF SEARCHLIGHT PICTURESBen Platt, left, and Molly Gordon in Theater Camp.Ž 2 0 2 3 _ 0 7 _ 1 3 _ o t b _ e n c _ 0 6 . p d f 1 1 2 J u l 2 3 2 3 : 2 4 : 0 0

ROACH: If you would recommend one good thing to do in your life to prolong your life and have good health, what would it be? By the same token, if you were to recommend not doing something because it is very bad for you, and there is no health bene“t to it, what would that be? „ J.H. ANSWER: The second question is easier, because of all the things people do to themselves that hurt them (and there are a lot), smoking probably causes the greatest harm to the greatest number of people. Smoking reduces the amount and quality of life so much that it has to be the top answer (and for smokers, in almost all cases, the most important thing you can do for your health is to quit smoking). Your “rst question has many good possible answers, and if you asked 10 physicians, you would prob ably g et at least nine different answers. However, I am going to say that committing to a regular exercise program is the one good thing to do to prolong your life. Taking an hour a day, or even 20 or 30 minutes a day, to do something for your physical and mental health has many bene“ts by itself, including reducing heart disease and cancer risk, giving a better sense of con“dence and wellbeing, and improving strength and balance. However, it's my experience that when a person really sticks with their exercise regimen, they are usually able to increase their performance over time (maybe walking or jogging longer or faster, lifting more weights and getting stronger, or becoming more adept at sports). But what is really interesting is that people tend to improve other habits. After running two miles, you're more likely to think a bit more carefully about what you are eating. You're less likely to choose unhealthy habits. I can't argue with people who say that changing your diet is the best thing to change your health for the better; neither do I argue with those who recommend mindfulness, better relationships with friends and family, stress reduction, better sleep, cutting back on alcohol, or a host of other changes. For any given person, one particular habit may be easier to start, and any can be the key to changing multiple factors. Small changes in numerous behaviors may have a greater overall bene“t than a dramatic change in just one behavior. I'll sneak in one more answer to your second question. I see many patients, friends and family spending a great deal of money on supplements just to prevent disease. These are seldom bad for you, but they aren't usually much good either. You could instead spend your time, money and energy on making other positive changes. DEAR DR. ROACH: For the last few years, my wife puts in her earbuds and listens to talk shows while she sleeps. This seems like an unhealthy idea. „ C.H. ANSWER: I agree with you. Earbuds while you sleep could damage your ear, and although listening to some music before bed helps some people fall asleep, I'm not sure that talk shows are the optimal choice. But it's the earbud part I really recommend against.Detailing the best way to prolong life and health DEAR HELOISE: Here's my tip to open jars. Tap an ice pick or small nail onto the lid of the jar, making a small hole in the lid, which thereby releases the pressure after vacuum-sealing. Then open jar with ease. „ Todd Tanner, Oxnard, California DEAR READERS: If your rubber spatula gets cracks along the edges, just cut off the bad parts with kitchen shears, following the original contours of the spatula. It will be slimmer, but you can still use the spatula, for getting the last drops out of small-mouth jars. „ Heloise DEAR READERS: If one of your favorite articles of clothing has a hopeless stain or scorch mark that cannot be removed, and you don't want to throw it out, consider sewing or ironing on an applique design patch over it. This is a good way to save it for continued use. „ Heloise DEAR READERS: If you're hosting a party for children, try this idea: Make edible popcorn cups! Shape a mixture of your family's favorite popcorn balls over the bottoms and sides of glasses that have been greased with margarine; then let harden. (You can use greased muf“n tins, too.) When ready, carefully remove the cups and “ll them with treats. „ Heloise DEAR HELOISE: In order to save water when cleaning bottles and jars for recycling, I “ll the container halfway with water, add a small dot of dishwashing liquid, put the lid or cap back on tightly, and shake. Substances that are sticky, such as peanut butter, are able to be removed if they're allowed to sit for a time and given a vigorous shake every now and then. Containers generally don't have to be sparkling clean to be acceptable for recycling. Also, to save water and energy on laundry, I regularly spot-treat areas of a garment „ such as where deodorant was used or on the collar „ with warm water, as tolerated by the fabric, and work in a little bar or dish soap. Then, the washload can be washed in cold water and have the soil removed. I put warm water in the sink and use it for multiple garments. Of course, try to hang your laundry up to dry whenever possible. „ L.G., in ConnecticutMaking a small hole in jar lid will help open it HINTS FROM HELOISEAdvice Columnist Wednesdays Challenger Answers CHALLENGER FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE By Lynn Johnston PICKLES By Brian Crane B.C.

www.yoursun.com | The Daily Sun THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 PAGE 9B DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend lost his sister unexpectedly to a heart attack. She was only 50. I'm trying to be there for him and give him his space while he's grieving. The thing is, he has stopped responding or contacting me. Every few days, I'd send him words of support, but he doesn't respond „ not with a "thank you" or anything. This has been happening for the past week. Finally, I “gured that he's ghosting me and no longer wants to be bothered with me but doesn't want to say it. So I told him I didn't want to add to his stress, that I felt he was over our relationship and I wouldn't bother him anymore. He responded, saying I'm taking it too personally, there's nothing I can do to help and it's something he has to go through. I know that. I understand grieving. But am I supposed to just wait until he feels like talking or being bothered with me, for however long it takes? I'm trying to be understanding, but for someone to just cut you off and not even acknowledge you is awful. I mean, he's completely emotionally unavailable, like I don't exist! I don't know what to do. „ Pushed Aside in the South DEAR PUSHED: Here's what to do. Back off! Since you understand grieving, you must know that no two people grieve exactly alike or on the same timetable. Your boyfriend has told you explicitly what he needs. If you care about him, give him space and stop personalizing this. His emotional needs must come before your own right now. Distract yourself by seeing friends or involving yourself in activities you can enjoy for the next month or so. If you do, when he's feeling more like himself again, he will come back to you. DEAR ABBY: I work from home, so I do not need to get dressed up every day. I wear T-shirts and athletic shorts because I usually coach my sons in after-school sports and want to be comfortable. Every day, my wife complains about my appearance, comparing me to other fathers. She also has no problem yelling about it in front of my kids or her family. This happens often. She says, "People won't want to do business with you if you dress like that!" Anytime I see a client, I dress for the occasion. Since she seems to have no problem saying anything about my appearance, can I say something about the weight she has gained over the last couple of years? Since she says stuff like that to me, I think it's only fair that I should be allowed to say something to her. „ Comfortable in the East DEAR COMFORTABLE: Say anything you wish, but before you open your mouth, ask yourself whether it would be helpful or in”ame the situation. Many people prefer to dress casually, and sometimes others can be judgmental about it „ your wife being only one of them. As strongly as your wife may feel about your choice of attire, she's wrong to criticize you in front of others, because berating you will not improve the state of your marriage.Boyfriend wants to grieve sister in solitude DEAR ABBYAdvice Columnist KEN KEN THE LOGIC PUZZLE THAT MAKES YOU SMARTER GOREN BRIDGE WITH BOB JONES PREVIOUS ANSWERS PEARLS BEFORE SWINE THE WIZARD OF ID By Brant Parker and Johnny Hart MUTTS By Patrick McDonnell HAGAR THE HORRIBLE MARVIN By Tom Armstrong GARFIELD HI AND LOIS By Brian and Greg Walker BORN LOSER PEANUTS By Charles Schulz BLONDIE By Dean Young and John Marshall Key Card Blackwood?

NATIONAL NEWS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 | 1LISA RATHKEAssociated PressVolunteers pulled out their snow shovels Wednesday to clear inches of mud after torrential rain and ooding inundated communities across Vermont, trapping people in homes, closing roadways and littering streets and businesses with debris.The water drained off most streets in the state capital of Montpelier, where the swollen Winooski River flooded basements and ground floors, destroying merchandise and furniture across the picturesque downtown. Other communities cleaned up as well from historic floods that were more destructive than Tropical Storm Irene in many places. Dozens of roads remained closed, and thousands of homes and businesses are damaged. But with people still being rescued, high water still blocking some roads and new flash flood warnings issued with more rain on the way, the crisis is far from over, according to state Public Safety Commissioner Jennifer Morrison. Vermonters, keep your guard up, and do not take chances,Ž she said. Morrison said urban search and swift water rescue teams came to the aid of least 32 people and numerous animals Tuesday night in northern Vermonts Lamoille County, bringing the total to more than 200 rescues since Sunday, and more than 100 evacuations. Volunteers turned out in droves to help flooded businesses in Montpelier, a city of 8,000, shoveling mud, cleaning, and moving damaged items outside. Weve had so much enthusiasm for support for businesses downtown that most of the businesses have had to turn folks away,Ž said volunteer organizer Peter Walke. Similar scenes played out in neighboring Barre and in Bridgewater, where the Ottauquechee River spilled its banks, and in Ludlow, where the Black River sent floodwaters surging into several restaurants co-owned by chef Andrew Molen. He said Sams Steakhouse is likely closed for good after the water inside reached nearly 7 feet high. The only thing thats probably gonna be salvageable is the silverware, and even then, after being in that muck for so long, you wash everything, do you really want to put that on the table? Its pretty intense what happened,Ž Molen said. Another of his restaurants, Mr. Darcys, had a couple feet of water inside, damaging the foundation.

There were no immediate reports of injuries. A confirmed tornado was on the ground around 7 p.m., according to the National Weather Service in Chicago. This tornado has been touching the ground intermittently so far and is moving east. There are additional circulations along the line south of OHare. Seek shelter if in the warned area,Ž it said. By 8 p.m. the weather service said the Chicago forecast area was currently tornado warning free.Ž It said the storm was moving east toward Michigan, where tornado warnings were issued. Video from TV stations showed hundreds of people taking shelter in an OHare concourse. Some 169 flights were canceled and nearly 500 were delayed, according to the flight tracking service FlightAware. The National Weather Service issued two tornado warnings for portions of the city Wednesday evening. Tornado sirens sounded at least twice across Chicago, warning people to take cover and ringing through the citys buildings. Lynn Becker, a longtime Chicago resident, posted video to Twitter with the sirens sounding out across the citys iconic skyline. Im in a 60 story apartment building so my options are somewhat limited,Ž he said. We have to, I assume, go into the core of the building.Ž Becker said news of the storm was featured across local media. Theres a certain panic when youre watching a TV screen and everything is in red ƒ but the hope is that the damage is minimal,Ž he said. News outlets said warehouses were reported damaged near OHare. The weather service quoted an unidentified emergency manager as saying a roof was blown off in the community of Huntley in McHenry County and a trained weather spotter saying trees were uprooted and roofs blown off in Cook County, where Chicago is located. Earlier Wednesday, the weather services Storm Prediction Center had said there was an enhanced risk for severe weather, including tornadoes.

APG NATIONAL NEWS 2 | THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 ASSOCIATED PRESSRecord global ocean heating has invaded Florida with a vengeance. Water temperatures in the mid-90s are threatening delicate coral reefs, depriving swimmers of cooling dips and adding a bit more ick to the Sunshine States already oppressive summer weather. Forecasters are warning of temperatures that with humidity will feel like 110 degrees by weeks end. If thats not enough, Florida is about to get a dose of dust from Africas Saharan desert thats likely to hurt air quality. The globe is coming off a week of heat not seen in modern measurements, the World Meteorological Organization said Monday, using data from Japans weather agency to confirm unofficial records reported nearly daily last week by the University of Maines Climate Reanalyzer. Japan reported the global average temperature on Friday was half a degree warmer than its past record hottest day in August 2016. Global sea surface temperatures have been record high since April and the North Atlantic has been offthe-charts hot since mid-March, meteorologists report as climate change is linked to more extremeand deadly events. We are in uncharted territory and we can expect more records to fall,Ž said WMO director of climate services Christopher Hewitt. This is worrying news for the planet.Ž Now its Floridas turn. Water temperature near Johnson Key came close to 97 degrees Monday evening, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration buoy. Another buoy had a reading close to 95 near Vaca Key a day earlier. These are about 5 degrees warmer than normal this time of year, meteorologists said. Thats incredible,Ž said National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Orrison. The water is so warm you really cant cool off.Ž While the 95and 96-degree readings were in shallow waters, the water temperatures are 90 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit around much of Florida, which is extremely warm,Ž said University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. He said his 95-degree pool doesnt cool him „ it just leaves him wet. Water temperatures across the Gulf of Mexico and Southwest Atlantic are 4 to 5 degrees warmer than normal, Orrison said. Because the water is so warm, the air in Florida gets more humid and thats making things tougher or more oppressive for people who are going to be out and about,Ž he said. The heat dome that baked Texas and Mexico for much of the early summer has oozed its way to Florida with sunshine, little to no cooling clouds or rain, but humidity worsened by the hot oceans, Orrison and McNoldy said.Florida in hot water: Ocean temperatures rise along with humidity Honolulu 88/76 Hilo 85/69 Anchorage 69/56 Fairbanks 77/56 Juneau 75/54 Monterrey 102/74 Chihuahua 101/74 Los Angeles 89/63 Washington 96/75 New York 90/75 Atlanta 90/74 Detroit 81/65 Houston 101/79 Kansas City 91/71 Minneapolis 86/66 El Paso 105/80 Denver 91/61 San Francisco 72/56 Seattle 79/57 Port Charlotte 97/77 Knoxville 88/70 Greensboro 91/72 Madison 81/67 Bozeman 81/52 Nampa 96/64 Toronto 78/60 Montreal 79/64 Winnipeg 79/54NATIONAL (for the 48 contiguous states)INTERNATIONALNATIONAL FORECAST In the digital e-edition, you can click anywhere on the US map to get up-to-date forecasts, radar, MinuteCast® and more.NATIONAL CITIES TODAY INTERNATIONAL CITIES-10s-0s0s10s20s30s40s50s60s70s80s90s100s110sShowersT-stormsRainFlurriesSnowIce Cold frontWarm frontStationary frontWEATHER HISTORYWEATHER TRIVIA’City Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQCity Hi Lo W UV AQ City Hi Lo W Hi Lo W City Hi Lo W Hi Lo WWeather ( W ): s -sunny, pc -partly cloudy, c -cloudy, sh -showers, t -thunderstorms, r -rain, sf -snow ”urries, sn -snow, i -ice.

THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 | 3 Former Trump supporter sues Fox over conspiracy theoryDOVER, Del. „ A former Donald Trump supporter who became the center of a conspiracy theory about Jan. 6, 2021, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Fox News. Filed Wednesday, the suit alleges the network made James Ray Epps a scapegoat for the U.S. Capitol insurrection. Epps says Fox aired statements falsely accusing him of being a provocateur working for federal law enforcement or intelligence agencies, and of encouraging others to commit violence that day in order to discredit Trump and his supporters. The lawsuit says Fox targeted Epps to deflect responsibility for its own complicity in the Jan. 6 violence by spreading false claims that the election had been stolen.Succession tops Emmy nominations with 27LOS ANGELES „ HBO dominates this years Emmy nominations, with the elite trio of Succession,Ž The White LotusŽ and The Last of UsŽ combining for a whopping 74 nods. SuccessionŽ led all nominees at the Wednesday morning announcements with 24, including acting nominations for series leads Brian Cox, Sarah Snook, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin. The Last of UsŽ got 24 nominations, and The White LotusŽ got 23. Ted LassoŽ led all comedy nominees with 21.

AROUND THE WORLDNATION & WORLD FATIMA HUSSEINAssociated PressThree large tax preparation rms sent extraordinarily sensitiveŽ information on tens of millions of taxpayers to Facebook parent company Meta over the course of at least two years, a group of congressional Democrats reported on Wednesday.They say some of that data was then used by Meta to create targeted advertising to its own users, other companies, and to train Metas algorithms. The Democrats report urges federal agencies to investigate and potentially go to court over the wealth of information that H&R Block, TaxAct and TaxSlayer shared with the social media giant. In a letter to the heads of the IRS, the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission and the IRS watchdog, seven lawmakers say their findings reveal a shocking breach of taxpayer privacy by tax prep companies and by Big Tech firms.Ž Their report said highly personal and financial information about sources of taxpayers income, tax deductions and exemptions was made accessible to Meta as taxpayers used the tax software to prepare their taxes. That data came to Meta through its Pixel code, which the tax firms installed on their websites to gather information on how to improve their own marketing campaigns. In exchange, Meta was able to access the data to write targeted algorithms for its own users. The program collected information on taxpayers filing status, income, refund amounts, names of dependents, approximate federal tax owed, which buttons were clicked on the tax preparers websites and the names of text entry forms that the taxpayer navigated, the report states. Taxpayer data was also shared with Google, through its own tracking tools „ though the firm told lawmakers that it never used the information to track users on the internet, according to the report. The letter to federal agencies was signed by Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, Richard Blumenthal, Tammy Duckworth, Bernie Sanders, Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Katie Porter. The lawmakers called for the agencies to immediately open an investigation into this incident.Ž They ask the agencies to investigate and prosecute any company or individuals who violated the law,Ž saying it could result in billions of dollars in criminal liability to the firms. The Markup, a nonprofit journalism outlet focusing on technology, initially reported on the data-sharing between tax firms and Meta in November. A TaxAct representative said the firm has engaged with Warrens office to explain its usage of the analytical tools and that protecting customers is its top priority. A TaxSlayer representative said Wednesday that the report contains numerous false or misleading statementsŽ regarding the taxpayers personal and filing information sent to Meta and Google and it will request a retraction or correction from Warrens office. H&R Block said that it takes protecting client privacy very seriously and has taken steps to prevent the sharing of information through the Pixel coding. And Meta said that it has been clear in its policies that advertisers should not send sensitive information about people through our Business Tools.Ž Doing so is against our policies and we educate advertisers on properly setting up Business tools to prevent this from occurring,Ž the company said in an emailed statement. Our system is designed to filter out potentially sensitive data it is able to detect.Ž Metas Facebook has a history of failure when it comes to protecting user privacy. One of its biggest scandals erupted in 2018 when investigations revealed that Cambridge Analytica, a firm with ties to Donald Trumps onetime political strategist Steve Bannon, had paid a Facebook app developer for access to the personal information of about 87 million Facebook users. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign that culminated in Trumps election as the 45th president. Facebook agreed to a $725 million user settlement in that case, and later was fined $5 billion by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. This May, the FTC proposed sweeping new changes to its standing privacy order for Meta that would bar the company from using any data collected from children under 18, including via its virtual reality technologies. The new rules would also force Meta to pause new products and services until an independent assessor confirms that they comply with the FTC order. The under-18 concerns stem largely from Facebooks Messenger for Kids app, which has long drawn fire for insufficient privacy protections for its younger users.Three tax prep firms shared user data about taxpayers with Meta APG NATIONAL NEWSASSOCIATED PRESSA Meta sign is displayed at the companys booth at the Game Developers Conference 2023 in San Francisco, March 22.

CHRISTOPHER RUGABERAP Economics WriterSqueezed by painfully high prices for two years, Americans have gained some much-needed relief with in ation reaching its lowest point since early 2021 „ 3% in June compared with a year earlier „ thanks in part to easing prices for gasoline, airline fares, used cars and groceries.The inflation figure the government reported Wednesday was down sharply from a 4% annual rate in May, though still above the Federal Reserves 2% target. From May to June, overall prices rose 0.2%, up from just 0.1% in the previous month but still comparatively mild. Even with Wednesdays better-than-expected inflation data, the Fed is considered all but sure to raise its benchmark rate when it meets in two weeks. But with price increases slowing „ or even falling outright „ across a range of goods and services, many economists say they think the central bank could hold off on what had been expected to be another rate hike in September, should inflation continue to cool. It takes the second hike off the table, if that trend continues,Ž said Laura Rosner-Warburton, senior economist at MacroPolicy Perspectives. Theyre probably on hold for the rest of the year.Ž On Wall Street, investors cheered the encouraging news, sending stock and bond prices higher. Investors have been eagerly anticipating the eventual end of the central banks rate increases. The Fed has raised its benchmark rate by a substantial 5 percentage points since March 2022, the steepest pace of increases in four decades. Its expected hike this month will follow the central banks decision to pause its rate increases last month after 10 consecutive hikes. Wednesdays inflation data may lift hopes that the Fed will achieve a difficult soft landing,Ž in which price increases fall back to 2% without causing a spike in unemployment or a deep recession. Last week, the government reported solid hiring in June, though it slowed compared with earlier this year. The unemployment rate ticked lower, from 3.7% to 3.6%, near a half-century low. When the Fed began raising its key rate a year ago, many economists expected that unemployment would have to rise significantly to curb inflation. Though inflation isnt yet fully tamed, some economists say they think it can fall to a level near the Feds 2% target earlier than they had expected. Excluding the volatile food and energy prices, so-called core inflation was lower last month than economists had expected, rising just 0.2% from May to June, the smallest monthly increase in nearly two years. Compared with a year ago, core inflation does remain relatively high, at 4.8%, but down from a 5.3% annual rate in May. In just the past two months, overall inflation, measured year over year, has slowed from nearly 5% in April to just 3% now. Much of that progress reflects the fading of spikes in food and energy prices that followed Russias invasion of Ukraine last spring. Inflation is now significantly below its peak of 9.1% in June 2022. Gas prices have fallen to about $3.54 a gallon on average, nationally, down from a $5 peak last year. Grocery prices have leveled off in the past three months and were unchanged from May to June. Milk prices, having dropped for a third straight month, are down 1.9% from last year. Eggs, which had skyrocketed last year after an outbreak of avian flu decimated chicken flocks, have dropped to $2.22 a dozen „ down more than 7% just in the past month. Egg prices had peaked at $4.82 in January, according to government data. Still, they remain above the average pre-pandemic price of about $1.60 a dozen. Economists say inflation isnt likely to keep falling at such a rapid pace. On a 12-month basis, inflation could even tick up in the coming months now that big drops in gas prices „ theyre down 27% in the past year „ have been achieved.. In particular, airfares plunged 8.1% just from May to June, hotel costs 2% and car rental prices 1.4% „ sharp drops that arent likely to be replicated.US inflation hits lowest point since early 2021 ASSOCIATED PRESSA shopper looks down an aisle in a Target store in Upper Saint Clair, Pa., on July 7.

BRIEFCASE Actors agree to mediation, but strike may be unavoidableLOS ANGELES „ Unionized Hollywood actors on the verge of a strike have agreed to allow a last-minute intervention from federal mediators. The actors union said in a statement that it is committed to exhausting every opportunity to make a deal with studios and streaming services before their contract expires late Wednesday. But it says they are not confident studios have any intention of reaching an agreement and avoiding a strike. The group representing the studios in the negotiations declined comment. If no deal is reached the actors could join already striking screenwriters in a work walkout that would grind Hollywood production to a halt.Former Mozambique minister extradited in $2 billion scandalJOHANNESBURG „ Former Mozambique finance minister Manuel Chang has been extradited to the U.S. to face a fraud and corruption trial over a $2 billion scandal involving fraudulent government loans. Thats according to the South African government on Wednesday. Chang has been held in a South Africa prison since December 2018, when he was arrested on a U.S. warrant on his way to the United Arab Emirates. He is accused of receiving bribes of up to $17 million during a scheme that secured loans for Mozambican state-owned companies from foreign banks and financiers for maritime projects. The money was looted through kickbacks and other corrupt dealings, according to U.S. prosecutors.Russias threat to pull out of Ukraine grain deal raises fearsLONDON „ Concerns are growing that Russia wont extend a United Nations-brokered deal that allows grain to flow from Ukraine to parts of the world struggling with hunger. Ships are no longer heading to the war-torn countrys Black Sea ports, and shipments have dwindled. The deal originally reached last summer to ease a global food crisis is up for renewal Monday, and Russian officials say there are no grounds for extending it. Theyve threatened it before, insisting an agreement to facilitate their food and fertilizer shipments hasnt been applied. But data shows Moscow has been exporting record amounts of wheat. Wall Street returns to highest level in more than a yearNEW YORK „ Wall Street returned to its highest level in more than a year after a report showed inflation cooled a bit more than expected last month. The S&P 500 rose 0.7% Wednesday. The Dow added 86 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq rose 1.2%. Treasury yields tumbled as the cooler inflation data pushed traders to ratchet back bets for hikes to interest rates by the Federal Reserve later this year.

SCIENCE &TECH ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 | 5MARCIA DUNNAP Aerospace WriterCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. „ The Webb Space Telescope is marking one year of cosmic photographs with one of its best yet: the dramatic close-up of doz ens of stars at the moment of birth. NASA unveiled the latest snapshot Wednesday, revealing 50 baby stars in a cloud complex 390 lightyears away. A light-year is nearly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). The region is relatively small and quiet yet full of illuminated gases, jets of hydrogen and even dense cocoons of dust with the delicate beginnings of even more stars. All of the young stars appear to be no bigger than our sun. Scientists said the breathtaking shot provides the best clarity yet of this brief phase of a stars life. Its like a glimpse of what our own system would have looked like billions of years ago when it was form ing,Ž NASA program scientist Eric Smith told The Associated Press. Smith pointed out that the starlight visible in the image actually left there 390 years ago. On Earth in 1633, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei went on trial in Rome for saying that the Earth revolved around the sun. The Vatican in 1992 acknowledged Galileo was wronged. This cloud complex, known as Rho Ophiuchi, is the closest star-forming region to Earth and is found in the sky near the border of the constellations Ophiu chus and Scorpius, the serpent-bearer and scorpion. With no stars in the foreground of the photo, NASA noted, the details stand out all the more. Some of the stars display shadows indicating possible planets in the making, according to NASA. It presents star birth as an impressionistic mas terpiece,Ž NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a tweet. Webb „ the largest and most powerful astronom ical observatory ever launched into space „ has been churning out cosmic beauty shots for the past year. The first pictures from the $10 billion infrared telescope were unveiled last July, six months after its liftoff from French Guiana. Its considered the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, orbiting Earth for 33 years. A joint NASA-European Space Agency effort, Webb scans the universe from a more distant perch, 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) away. Still ahead for Webb: Astronomers hope to behold the earliest stars and galaxies of the universe while scouring the cosmos for any hints of life on planets outside our solar system.ASSOCIATED PRESSThe “rst anniversary image released Wednesday by Space Telescope Science Institute Oce of Public Outreach, shows NASAs James Webb Space Telescope displaying a star birth like its never been seen before, full of detailed, impressionistic texture.

SPORTS ADAMS PUBLISHING GROUP | THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2023 | 6 ASSOCIATED PRESSSAN DIEGO „ After winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup with its junior varsity two years ago, the United States failed to repeat.Adalberto Carrasquilla converted the decisive penalty kick after Cristian Roldan was stopped in his attempt, and Panama beat the Americans 5-4 in a shootout following a 1-1 tie on Wednesday night to reach the CONCACAF Gold Cup final against Mexico. Theres a lot of learning lessons that were all going to take away as we now continue our preparation to the path of 2026,Ž U.S. interim coach B.J. Callaghan said, looking ahead to the Americans co-hosting the World Cup. You had some older senior guys that had experience that we challenged to take on more leadership roles, mentorship roles, and that came out,Ž Callaghan said. And then we had a group of young players, whether they are U-20 „ had played at the U-20 „ or Olympic age, and all striving to become part of that roster in 2026.Ž Iván Anderson put No. 57 Panama ahead in the ninth minute of extra time with his first international goal, and Jesús Ferreira tied the score six minutes later for the 11th-ranked U.S. Panama reached the final for the third time after losing to the U.S. in 2005 and 2013. Panama will play Mexico, an eight-time champion, on Sunday at Inglewood, California. The U.S., a seven-time winner of the championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean, failed to reach the final for the first time since losing a 2015 semifinal to Jamaica. The Americans have not won consecutive Gold Cups since 2005 and 07. The game marked the finale of Callaghan, who led the U.S. to five wins, one loss and one draw as the Americans second interim coach this year. Gregg Berhalter returns for the Sept. 9 exhibition against Uzbekistan. The U.S. had just 34% possession in the first half. The first half is my fault,Ž Callaghan said. I didnt set the team up the way they should have been set up.Ž American Cade Cowell hit a post about 20 seconds in and that was the closest to a goal until Panama went ahead nine minutes into extra time. Carrasquilla played a through pass to Anderson, who was kept onside by DeAndre Yedlin. Anderson took a touch and played the ball past onrushing goalkeeper Matt Turner, then kicked the ball into the open net for his first international goal. Turner, who saved two penalty kicks against Canada, was the only U.S. player on the field who saw extensive time at last years World Cup. Ferreira scored six minutes later after Matt Miazga played a long pass to Jordan Morris, who headed the ball into the penalty area. Ferreira volleyed the ball with his right shin from 16 yards past the outstretched left hand of a diving Orlando Mosquera for his 15th international goal, his seventh of the tournament With the U.S. going first in the shootout, Ferreira was stopped by Mosquera. Fidel Escobar and Ismael Díaz beat Turner, while Djordje Mihailovic and Morris were successful for the U.S. Turner dove to his left to stop Christian Martínez and Julian Gressel and Miazga converted around Édgar Bárcenas successful kick for Panama, leaving the U.S. ahead 4-3. Cecilio Waterman tied the score with Panamas fifth shot, Mosquera dove right to parry Roldans attempt and Carrasquilla put his shot inside Turners right post.MEXICO BEATS JAMAICA 30 AND ADVANCES TO GOLD CUP FINALLAS VEGAS „ Henry Martín scored 80 seconds in, Luis Chávez converted a free kick in the 30th minute and Mexico beat Jamaica 3-0 Wednesday night to reach its 11th CONCACAF Gold Cup final. Roberto Alvarado added a goal in the third minute of second-half stoppage time as Mexico advanced to play Panama on Sunday at Inglewood, California. El Tri, under interim coach Jaime Lozano, is seeking a ninth Gold Cup title. Martín scored his ninth international goal and third of the tournament, settling the ball with a touch after Jesús Gallardos cross and beating Andre Blake from 8 yards. Luis Romo had scored 51 seconds in during Mexicos opener, a 4-0 win over Honduras. Chávez curled a 25-yard free kick to Blakes upper right corner for his fourth international goal and third of the tournament. Chávezs first international goal was on a free kick against Saudi Arabia at last years World Cup. Alvarado got his fifth goal when he tapped in a pass from Gallardo. Mexico won the 2019 title and lost the 2021 final in extra time to the United States at Las Vegas.Panama stuns U.S. in Gold Cup ASSOCIATED PRESSPanama players celebrate after defeating the United States in a CONCACAF Gold Cup semi“ nal match Wednesday in San Diego. LeBron James says at ESPYS he will play for Lakers in 23-24LOS ANGELES „ LeBron James will play another season for the Los Angeles Lakers. The 38-year-old superstar announced his intentions on stage at The ESPYS on Wednesday night after accepting the record-breaking performance award for becoming the NBAs career scoring leader. At the end of last season, in which he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbars mark, James had said he wasnt sure if he would be back. In that moment Im asking myself if I can still play without cheating the game. Can I give everything to the game still? The truth is Ive been asking myself this question at the end of the season for a couple years now. I just never openly talked about it,Ž James said. I dont care how many more points I score or what I can and cannot do on the ” oor. The real question for me is can I play without cheating this game? The day I cant give the game everything on the ” oor is the day Ill be done. Lucky for you guys that day is not today.Ž The crowd at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood let out a huge cheer. So yeah, I still got something left,Ž James said. A lot left.Ž Holmgren continues strong return with 25 points, five blocksLAS VEGAS „ Chet Holmgren made it two big nights in a row for No. 2 picks. A night after Brandon Miller had his best game in Las Vegas, Chet Holmgren was dominant on both ends to lead the Oklahoma City to a 98-87 victory over Indiana on Wednesday night. Holmgren had 25 points, nine rebounds and “ ve blocks, continuing his strong return after missing the 2022-23 season following surgery on his right foot. The No. 2 pick in the 2022 draft got back on the court when the Thunder played in the Salt Lake City Summer League, then had 16 points and 10 rebounds Saturday in a victory over Dallas in his Las Vegas debut. Miller, picked behind Victor Wembanyama in this years draft, scored 26 points Tuesday in Charlottes 97-93 loss to Portland.ESPNs Dick Vitale diagnosed with cancer for a 3rd timeLongtime ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale says he has been diagnosed with cancer for a third time. Vitale tweeted Wednesday that he had surgery in Boston this week, and tests revealed that he has vocal cord cancer. He said he will undergo six weeks of radiation treatments. I plan to “ ght like hell to be ready to call games when the college hoops season kicks o in the fall,Ž Vitale tweeted, adding that his doctor feels that scenario is entirely possible.Ž The 84-year-old Vitale has previously been treated for melanoma and lymphoma. He celebrated being cancer-free in April of last year. Vitale has been with ESPN since 1979, the year the network launched. He called ESPNs “ rst college basketball broadcast. Hes also a longtime fundraiser for cancer research. Vitale helped friend Jim Valvano to the stage at the 1993 ESPYs, where Valvano delivered his famous Dont give upŽ speech. Valvano died of adenocarcinoma less than two months later. SPORTS IN BRIEFAssociated Press

Producer pricesThe Labor Department issues its monthly snapshot of prices at the wholesale level today. Wholesale prices have come down more than prices at the retail level since the Federal Reserve started raising interest rates more than a year ago. Analysts predict that they continued to decline in June, to 0.4% year-over-year from Junes 1.1%, though on a month-to-month basis, they expect a small increase.Delta Air LinesWall Street expects another solid quarterly report card from Delta Air Lines today. Analysts predict the companys second-quarter earnings and revenue increased sharply from a year earlier. In April, Atlanta-based Delta reported a $363 million first-quarter loss, as higher spending on fuel and labor overshadowed a sharp rise in revenue. Investors will be watching for an update on how Deltas bookings are faring during the traditionally busy summer travel season. Delta will release its earnings before the bell.PepsiCo New York-based PepsiCo reports second-quarter financial results before the bell today. Analysts are projecting that the beverage and snack company earned $1.96 per share on $21.7 billion in sales in the period. Those targets would be an improvement on the $1.86 per-share profit and $20.2 billion in sales in the same period a year ago. When it released its first-quarter results in April, PepsiCo, which also owns Gatorade sports drinks as well as Doritos and Rold Gold, raised its full-year profit outlook to $7.27 per share.

RALPH ALLEN Nothing newIts been many years since Charlotte Harbor had an adequate population of red drum, but so one seems to know why that might be. Grip that lipLip-gripping tools are highly popular pieces of angling kit. And for local saltwater fishermen, they make a lot of sense. There are some fish you can lip with your thumb no problem, but not many. Ladyfish are softmouthed. Snook have sandpaper jaws like freshwater bass but arent bad. Redfish and grouper have more teeth than newbies realize, and a tendency to bite down also. Then there are Spanish mackerel, bluefish, snapper and barracuda, any of which is guaranteed to leave you bleeding or worse (cudas are all about amputation when possible). Trout dont bite, but they do have impressive teeth that you can hurt yourself on. Dont forget about all those baby and juvenile sharks we catch, especially this time of year. A lip-gripper is useful to protect yourself from getting bitten, but its also a very secure way to hold onto a fishs lower jaw. Thats not just good for you „ its good for the fish. Most anglers want their trophy photo (maybe not with every single trout, but a couple of them), but fish are slimy and wiggly. A whole lot of fish get dropped in the process. A lip-gripper makes it much easier to keep a firm hold, and much less likely to slam the fishs head against the deck. However, as with most tools, theres a right way to use it and a wrong way.Lets start with the BogaGrip, which is a finely made instrument and a joy to use. Popping it onto a fishs lip is easy „ open it with a pull of the finger, insert lower lip between the the metal jaws, and relax your finger. Thats it. If youre in a hurry, you can also just slip it right on.Until you pull back on the slide again, that things on there, and I mean good and solid. Dont drop it with the fish attached, because if it goes overboard, that fish and your $150 tool are now together forever. A little ladyfish or trout might get anchored to the bottom, but a big cobia is just going to leave. Bad news for you and for him. Since it clips onto the lower jaw so securely, you dont need to make any additional effort to keep your fish from coming undone. But a lot of people seem to think they do. I see it all the time in photos. Many fishermen insist on poking a hole right through the lower jaw to stick that metal into. Stop that! The goal of releasing a fish is for it to survive and thrive. A hole through the lower jaw might be survivable, or it might be a place for a bacterial or fungal infection to get started. At best, its an unnecessary additional injury, which doesnt make your grip any more secure anyway.There are a lot of less expensive metal gripping tools out there. None work quite so effortlessly and smoothly as the original, but they all do a good job of holding onto a fish „ again, without poking any additional holes in the mouth.There are also plastic grippers out there. These are more prone to injuring fish, because the jaws dont lock into place until theyre in physical contact with each other. That means to securely latch, they are exerting extreme pressure on the membrane of the fishs lower jaw „ more than enough to tear or kill the tissue.If youre using this type of tool, dont latch the jaws together. Apply just enough pressure to hold the fish in place and no more. Its hard to do, especially if you get excited, which is why I suggest you skip these in favor of a metal gripper.And I also suggest you get a real-deal BogaGrip. Yes, its expensive, but unless you drop it overboard its a long-term tool. My buddy Capt. Mike Myers just had to replace his that his wife bought for him in the 1990s, and he does not take care of his tackle like he should. Put a float on it just in case, but it should last more or less a lifetime. And remember, no dangling from any lip-gripper. Snap the tool in place, with your dominant hand, use your other hand to support the belly as you lift the fish from the water, take your photos, and put the fish back the same way you took it out. Unless theyre food or bait, be good to them and let them live. Please. Contact Capt. Josh Olive at 941-276-9657 or Publisher@WaterLineWeekly.com. FROM THE PUBLISHER'S DESK • CAPT. JOSH OLIVE Photo providedYou dont need to put the metal through this fishs lip. Its a gripper, not a gaff.

Every piece of knowledge must be learned somehow. So why do we act like we know everything? Theres no shame in ignorance, but being unwilling to learn makes you a knucklehead. For Southwest Florida shermen, the education process never ends. You can never know everything, but you can learn a lot. Step one is reading, which obviously youre doing now. Read as much as you can „ magazines, books, blogs, Facebook posts, charter captains websites. Sure, a lot of it is bull, but the more you learn the better youll be able to winnow out the good stu. Then nd a good tackle shop and interrogate the sta. If they cant answer your questions, nd a dierent tackle shop. If you can aord it, hire several dierent guides and see what each one does and how they do it. This alone can save you months of frustration. Learn from friends, acquaintances, enemies „ anybody. And then, experiment. Dont be afraid to try new things. Share what you know, and try to gure out what you dont. Hey, its fun! And no matter what, never be shy about asking questions. All knowledge begins with admitting you dont know.. „ As the Fish Coach, Capt. Josh Olive oers personalized instruction on shing techniques. To book your session or for more information, go to FishCoach.net, email Josh@FishCoach. net or call 941-276-9657.(07/11 report) A lot of sharks have been caught from the beaches, mostly in the 3to 6-foot range. Anglers have been buying tons of pompano jigs, which usually means there are sh in the area. Id try the jetties rst and the rocky areas o the Manasota beaches if that didnt pan out. Everyone heading out has been catching lots of sh, but also losing at least a few to sharks. Out past140 feet, theyre getting red snapper , big red grouper , scamp and many other bottom species, plus mahi cruising by. At 80 to 100 feet, there are mixed snapper and some smaller grouper . The snook action in the surf and in the passes has been hot. Fish chunk bait or live pinsh while the tide is moving in the morning or evening. (06/05 report) Snook are on the beach from Stump Pass to north of Blind Pass Beach. Small shadtail soft plastics are doing well. There are also whiting and small jacks in the surf zone. Ladysh , mangrove snapper (only a few keepers) and random pompano have been caught at the Ainger Pier. The deeper potholes in Lemon Bay have been producing some good trout . Charter boats have been doing well with the red snapper out around 170 feet, with most anglers getting their two-sh limit. Theyre also bringing back some red grouper , though not limiting out. Hit the beach for a fun mixed bag. If you dont like articial lures, cut mullet and ladysh has also been working. (07/11 report) Reports are very mixed. Many shermen are doing well, but many are not. Snook are in the surf. Trout are on the deeper ats. Tarpon are o the beaches and in the passes. Fr eshwat er bass anglers have caught some sh in the rivers and lakes; target deep shade of docks or vegetation if you can. Some red snapper have been caught out deep. Some rods have been broken by big, big sh out there. In closer, the snapper have been mostly smaller. There have also been some barracuda on the wrecks. To improve the bite: Slow your retrieve. Fish when its cooler (by your GPS thermometer). If theres no action after a while, move. Look for current ow. Have a exible plan. (07/11 report) Jacks , snook and lots of black drum are in the PGI and Port Charlotte canals. Snook and trout have been in Bull and Turtle bays and the north end of Pine Island Sound. The barrier island surf has also had a lot of snook . Tarpon are o the beaches and in the passes, plus a few showing up in the Harbor. Little sharks are scattered all over, with a random sprinkling of larger ones as well.Red snapper , red grouper and big mangrove snapper are at 50 to 70 miles. There are schoolie mahi out there too, but theyve been reported as close as 30 miles out. Lane , mangrove and yellowtail snapper are decent from 20 to 35 miles. Spanish mackerel , grunts and more lane snapper are at 10 to 20 miles. A few bonita and blackn tuna are around.Beach shing has been great: A few pompano and short ounder , lots of whiting and bonnethead sharks , plus of course the snook . (07/11 report) Snook are in and around the passes and under deep docks along the ICW hitting live whitebait or mojarra (sand brim). Some keeper mangrove snapper are around those same docks . For fr eshwat er bass anglers, the plastic frog or popper bite is good in the North Port and Port Charlotte canals in the early morning along docks and weed edges. Switch to pumpkinseed worms (shed low and slow) after it starts to warm up. Theres a mixed bag of red grouper and lane snapper over hard bottom in 70 feet or deeper. Permit are over nearshore wrecks taking atlined crabs or shrimp. The saltwater canals in Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda have been great for tarpon , jacks , snook , mangrove snapper , and some trout . Live whitebait and white paddletails are both catching sh. (06/27 report) A few redsh and black drum have been caught in the Cape Coral canals. The mangrove snapper inshore have been mostly small, but a handful of 12to 16-inch sh are biting around docks on the ICW. Trout are doing well on deeper grass in Pine Island Sound. Those going out past 150 feet report lots of red snapper , although there are many in the 20to 24-inch range. Throw those back and hold out for bigger ones. Snook are in the passes and in the surf. If its calm, try a small white paddletail or silver spoon. If its rougher, a live baitsh is a better plan.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 6 € JULY 13, 2023 Shutterstock photoNutrient-rich fres hwater outflows driven by rainfall on land bring many pelagic fish closer to the Southwest Florida coast „ including whale sharks, the largest fish in the sea. When the rain comesOnce again, we find ourselves in a rainy Southwest Florida summer. Although we may curse the thunderstorms when they foil our plans to get out on the water, the wet season is natural and necessary for life here as we know it. Some of you remember years when the rains didnt fall regularly, and those were not the best of times. Drought is not a good thing. The Florida peninsula is a desert, complete with sand and cacti, except that we get a months-long soaking every summer. If the rains didnt come, youd really have something to curse about. Regardless of the need for the rainy season, it sure does muck up the fishing. Even when the skies arent threatening to pour down on you and theres no nearby lightning, the massive inflow of fresh water into the Harbor radically affects what the fish are doing. Fortunately, there are still plenty of fish to be caught. You just may need to change your location and tactics to be successful in finding and catching them. During the dry season, the Harbors water is clear (OK, clearish) and salty. When the rains are coming down daily, brown-tinted water pouring out of the rivers darkens up the Harbor quickly. Darker water absorbs more heat, and with summers torrid weather here, theres more heat to absorb. Fish need oxygen, and warm water doesnt hold as much. Also, a lot of our common baitfish species dont like fresh water anyway. With the temperature spiking, fish migrate en masse towards the Gulf in search of oxygen and food. This is not great news for those of you who like to fish the U.S. 41 bridges, the Laishley pier, Bayshore or El Jobean. It means there will be fewer fish to catch in those spots. Notice that I didnt say there wont be anything to catch. There are always fish there, but they might not be as plentiful as youd like.As you move down the Harbor toward the Gulf, youll generally find more fish. I like to draw an imaginary line from Pirate Harbor to Cape Haze Point, then start fishing south of it. Thats not to say you cant sometime have a phenomenal time fishing in the upper Harbor. Sometimes you can, especially when open-water species follow a strong incoming tide inshore. The tideline, which usually is marked by floating weeds or scum, can be a great place to find fish as they follow the flow of clear salty water far up into the Harbor. This usually works better on the east side of the Harbor. Because of the orientation of the river mouths, water on the west wall tends to be more fresh and hold fewer fish. On the other hand, the tide coming in through Boca Grande Pass pushes salty seawater toward the east wall, which then flows north. Fish are drawn to this salty, well-oxygenated water. With the river water flowing south and the incoming water flowing north, a huge eddy is created in the middle of the Harbor. This eddy tends to collect all sorts of stuff, but especially nutrients and plankton. This helps to explain why the 20-foot holes in the center of the Harbor are hotspots for sharks and tarpon all summer „ plankton attracts baitfish, baitfish attract gamefish. When the rivers are high, their flow doesnt end at the river mouths or even in the Harbor. You can actually see the water pushing out through Boca Grande Pass when the rivers approach flood stage. That water is still salty, but if you were to break out a refractometer and measure the salt content, youd find it to be lower than normal. The prevailing current carries this water south along the coastline. Anywhere you find flowing water, youll usually find fish. Water pushing out through the passes attracts predators, which hang out along dropoffs, behind pilings and in other sheltered spots to ambush fish, shrimp and crabs flushing past them. Larger trout virtually vanish from the flats and backcountry, turning up along the beaches where they gang up in schools of 10 to 100, sometimes in water up to 20 feet deep over sandy or rocky bottom. Offshore anglers should pay attention, too. The outflowing fresh water has only a minor effect on reef fishing, maybe pushing some grouper and snapper off the nearshore reefs. But the nutrients floodwaters carry into the open Gulf, which is mostly empty aquatic desert, can lure some pelagic fish closer to shore. Small mahi in particular are more common in summer, and some blackfin tuna might make a showing with the schools of bonito. Whale sharks, the largest fish in the sea, sometimes come within a few miles of our coast to feed on baitfish schools that gather when beneficial algae blooms occur, fed by nutrients in the river water. As the rains take away some fishing opportunities, they create others. We need the rain anyway if were going to have an abundance of fish, birds and other wildlife. After all, the mixing of fresh and salt water is what creates an estuary like Charlotte Harbor in the first place. There will still be plenty of fish, but you may have to go to where they are instead of having them right in your backyard. If you enjoy a tight line as much as I do, thats not really a bad thing.

€ PAGE 7 € JULY 13, 2023BoatingAndFishing.com Shutterstock photoFly line thats twisted will make casting much more difficult. Learn how easy it is to fix this common problem. Get it straightTheres nothing more infuriating than attempting to make a long-awaited cast at a tailing redfish or rolling tarpon (or any fish, for that matter), only to find that after you have judged the distance and powered up a great loop, the tangled coils of a twisted fly line have bunched up against your stripping guide „ completely killing your cast and any chance at that fish. Regardless of your skill level, type of fly line, or whether you fish in fresh or salt water, fly line twist is part of the game. There are a number of factors that can cause it. With the exception of some extreme cases, its relatively easy to fix. Fly line twist can occur from a variety of causes, many of which are unavoidable during a typical day of fishing. Often, anglers are quick to assume that a particular brand of line twists up more than others (which has been true in a few cases), or that there is something wrong with the core type. Some may even get down on themselves thinking there is a casting fault of theirs to blame. While factors such as the core of the line, a particular coating, or perfectly tight loops may prolong the line from twisting, all lines are likely to twist up a little at some point. Certain casting styles that employ a change of plane between the forward and back casts „ Belgian casts, roll casts and even spey casts „ will cause your line to twist over time. Casting bushy, wind-resistant flies or indicators will also cause your line to twist up as well. Even certain retrieves, such as figure-eight retrieves or simply stripping big waterpushing streamers all day, can lead to that ugly twist in your fly line at the end of the day.Here is a scenario you might be familiar with: Youre getting ready to make a cast but you have stepped on your line so, of course, it wont go anywhere. Dont, and I repeat dont, try to kick your line out of the way. You will undoubtedly roll that line with the bottom of your foot and it will twist terribly. Bend over, and pick it up with your fingers and move it to where it needs to go to avoid the rolling twist.Almost every fishing situation presents a way to leave your fly line a mess. Not to worry; its easy to fix. The best method to use depends on where you are at the time. Check out the list below to find the best method for you the next time you find yourself cussing at the mess and missed opportunity.ON THE RIVERIf youre wading in moving water, straightening out your line couldnt be easier. Simply clip your fly off and strip out your entire fly line, allowing the current to take it downstream. Pinch the backing against the cork, hold it there for 20 to 30 seconds and let the current do the work. There you go „ your line should be ready to fish again.IN THE BOATIf fishing from a boat, use the same method as above but use the boats power to straighten your fly line instead of the stream current. Clip your fly off, strip out the entire line and trollŽ the fly line behind the moving boat until the twists are removed. (Note for you spinfishing anglers: This method also works for monofilament, but not for braided line.)ON THE LAWNIf you need to untwist your line and you arent on the water, try laying the majority of your fly line out in a straight line. Grass fields or lawns work best for this method, as your fly line is less likely to pick up dirt here than on a parking lot or beach. Hold the line between your thumb and forefinger and run down the length of the line. Make sure to start at the backing end and work your way towards the tip of the fly line so the twist can disappear at the end. Also, its important not to let go of the line with your fingers until you are finished, as this will cause the line to twist back up to the starting point. You may find if you are trying to work quickly, this method can burn your fingers. If this is the case, use a thin cloth to pull down the line. This is also a great time to recondition your line as well. Clean it with a damp rag as you pull and apply your favorite line dressing when completed.ANYWHEREI use this technique the most. Cast out the amount of line you have off the reel. Try to keep some tension on the line by lifting the rod a little or backing away a couple steps so the line doesnt wrap around the tip during the following process. While keeping the rod pointed at the fly, turn your body 90 degrees to the right and hold the rod at arms length, forming Os with the forefinger and the thumb of both hands. You want one O on the fighting butt, and the other just below the stripping guide. Now, using the reel as weight, flip the rod rapidly on its long axis counterclockwise (back toward your body) 10 to 15 times. This takes just a couple of seconds. Make a couple of overhead casts or roll casts and strip line back „ and you are all untwisted ready to go. If you are a lefty, flip the rod clockwise. This will work a little better if you take the time to cut off your fly first. If you dont like that option, heres another. This method, although the most time-consuming, it is an effective way to remove the twists in your fly line. It can be done anywhere and with very little room. First, strip off your entire fly line (or as far as it is twisted). Then, starting at the backing end of your reel, strip in roughly 3 to 4 feet of line, leaving a loop of line. If twisted, this loop will spin around itself. If this is the case, remove your reel from the rod and rotate it in the opposite direction of the twist until the loop of line is free of any tangles. Reattach the reel and repeat until your fly line is free of twists. Now that you have it all straightened out,Ž its time to go fishing. Stay fly.Capt.

Heres one: Of all the different fish species that are popular with inshore anglers in Southwest Florida, I believe that redfish are in the most trouble. In my opinion, there are just not enough redfish in the Charlotte Harbor area. Further, I dont really know why. Opinions vary, of course. And the FWC has a very different take than mine. The FWC website has a section on redfish management which begins with the statement: Management of red drum in Florida is considered a success story.Ž This is not a new issue. Redfish (aka red drum, channel bass or spottail bass, depending where youre from) numbers in Charlotte Harbor have been depressed for a long time. There has been a lot of discussion about whether our redfish woes are a result of the infamous red tide blooms that stretched through the late 2010s. But the redfish population was down before those outbreaks. After Hurricane Charleys visit in 2004, there was a lot of speculation that the redfish population was low because of the tremendous loss of habitat that occurred when that storm killed so much of the mangrove fringe around the harbor. But redfish numbers here were shrinking prior to Charley. There used to be a whole lot of redfish in Charlotte Harbor. In the 1970s, there were so many and they were so easy to catch that they were regarded as sort of second-tier sport fish. All that was necessary was to find any bit of mangrove shoreline with water up around the roots and fish the edges of the bushes to catch a bunch of reds. Charlotte Harbor was an incredibly productive nursery for juvenile redfish. Yes, juvenile redfish. Almost all the redfish in Charlotte Harbor are juvenile, immature fish which have not ever had a chance to spawn and replace themselves in the population. Thats why no one ever sees redfish eggs or milt when cleaning redfish in Florida. Redfish become adults (sexually mature and able to reproduce) when they reach sizes in the mid-30 inch range. Most of these big, mature redfish are found in large schools of like-sized fish which spend the majority of their time roaming offshore in the Gulf, with only occasional visits into the estuaries. When its time to reproduce, they spawn in or near the Gulf passes so their fertilized eggs and newly hatched fry are swept into the estuaries when the tide floods. These tiny little redfish scatter into the backcountry and take up residence in tidal creeks, among mangrove roots, blades of seagrass and generally anywhere they can find shelter. This is because almost everything in Charlotte Harbor eats baby redfish. The little guys do their best to avoid being eaten and to find enough food so they can grow. Most of them dont survive for long. But the ones that make it to 18 inches in length, which takes about a year and a half, become potential prey for humans. People harvest the little guys until they grow to 27 inches in length, which is the upper end of the longstanding slot size limit for legal harvest. By the way, this slot limit has remained unchanged since 1989! (Thats 34 years, for those of you who are thinking 1989 was sometime in the last decade.) When redfish get over about 30 inches in length they get antsy and start thinking (figuratively) about heading offshore and becoming adults. Most of them make this transition in the fall when they are about four years old. Towards the end of every summer, that seasons batch of near-adult redfish start acting somewhat like adults by gathering in schools that roam around the Harbor. These are the famous schools of over-slot redfish that are found pushing water on flats and bars from about August through November. When the first chilly fall weather hits, these fish leave the Harbor and become offshore fish for the rest of their adult lives. Once they are sexually mature theyll spawn to replenish the stocks of juvenile fish in the estuaries and that cycle goes on year after year. Biologists who study redfish refer to the number of juvenile redfish which grow large enough to leave the estuary each year to become breeders as that years escapement.Ž Because of their biology, the entire directed human harvest of redfish in Florida is made up of immature fish which are taken before they can spawn. This makes fishery managers nervous, because its difficult to know how many redfish we can harvest and still have enough escapement from the estuaries to keep the stocks replenished. The 18to 27-inch slot size limit and one fish per person bag limit are an attempt to limit each years harvest of juvenile fish enough to keep the cycle going. Its just a guess that they hope provides sufficient escapement. But if you agree with my opinion that the redfish population in Charlotte Harbor is too low, then apparently the cycle is not going very well. We have had this problem before, and we were able to fix it. In the 1980s, blackened redfish became such a popular dish that commercial fishermen were able to make big money by netting the large schools of adult redfish in Gulf waters. Prior to that time, those fish did not have a particularly high market value and had not been extensively harvested. When the blackened redfish craze drove up the price of large redfish, millions of pounds of broodstock were netted by large offshore purse seine boats in just a few short years. While this was happening, the historic inshore small boat gillnet fishery for redfish continued in Charlotte Harbor, and the recreational harvest also continued. Can you guess what happened? Yep, the redfish population crashed. The solution was to prohibit the harvest of the breeders in Gulf waters, which the federal government did in 1986, and to close the harvest of redfish in Floridas estuaries by both gillnetters and by recreational anglers. I believe this closure started in about 1986 and that it lasted about two years, but my memory is foggy. In the late 1980s, redfish were declared a gamefish in Florida. That meant no more commercial harvest, a prohibition which remains in effect to this day. The fishery has been limited to recreational harvest ever since. These measures worked. By the mid 1990s, the redfish population in Charlotte Harbor had grown to levels approaching the numbers of 15 years prior and the fishery was strong. Until it started to trend downhill again. In my opinion this began to occur in the late 1990s, and the fishery has not been good since that time „ even though the broodstock is still protected in Gulf waters, and there is still no commercial harvest of the smaller redfish in the estuaries. A reasonable first reaction to this situation would be to assume that we need to further restrict recreational harvest to spur that all-important escapement from the estuaries. But we recently did exactly that when we closed the Southwest Florida red drum fishery to all harvest for almost four years due to red tides. While there are somewhat more redfish around now than prior to that closure, in my opinion the redfish population in Charlotte Harbor did not rebound with nearly the gusto that it did as a result of the closures in the 1980s. This indicates that something has changed in the last 30 years so that simply limiting the recreational harvest cannot fix the problem.Another piece of the redfish puzzle comes courtesy of the FWCs longstanding Fishery Independent Monitoring (FIM) program. We are fortunate to have an FWC FIM field station in Charlotte County, which has been monitoring fish populations in Charlotte Harbor since 1989. When you see boats around the Harbor with Marine ResearchŽ on the hull sides, these are probably the guys and gals from the Charlotte Harbor FIM station. If you see them, thank them for the hot, sweaty, dirty work they do on behalf of our fisheries. They use several different methods of sampling the populations of our inshore fish. One of their efforts involves using fine mesh haul seines which can collect wee little fish of less than an inch in length. When this is done for many years, it provides a valuable long-term look at the numbers of fish of various species which are successfully spawned each year, including redfish. While the numbers vary across different years, we tend to get quite a few baby redfish each year in Charlotte Harbor. This indicates that the offshore fish are producing enough of a spawn most years. So why are anglers not seeing and catching redfish like in those famous good old days?ŽI think that our redfish problem has to be some sort of ecosystem issue in the estuary. I believe „ without any solid evidence or proof, by the way „ that there is some water quality issue or predator-prey relationship that is out of whack that somehow affects redfish more than tarpon, snook or trout, the numbers of all of which (in my opinion) are in relatively better shape than are redfish. As an angler who has handled thousands of redfish, trout and snook, it seems counter-intuitive to me that there is something going on to which redfish are more sensitive than these other fish. Reds are tough customers. Theyre much easier to keep alive in a release well than more fragile snook or trout. They seem to shake off the effects of catch-and-release in a more robust way too. Ive caught numerous redfish while fishing docks or mangroves which we had just lost due to cut line or leader, but they bit again just minutes later with our lost terminal tackle still stuck in them and trailing behind. Redfish are just tanks. But while my angling experience has created a mindset for me that redfish are the toughest fish of the trio, their resilience to being caught and handled might not have anything at all to do with their sensitivity to water chemistry changes, or their possible dependence on some particular prey item at some point in their life cycle. Regardless, I know this much for sure: There is something going on with our redfish population in Charlotte Harbor, something that is just not right. We need to figure out what it is.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 11 € JULY 13, 2023 Shutterstock photoThis old rusty revolver looks like its been through some tough times. Keeping your firearms corrosion-free in Florida isnt easy, but its worth doing. Rust and your gunYou better have a plan to stop corrosion before corrosion stops youThe old saying goes that guns only have two enemies, politicians and rust. Today were going to talk about corrosion and how to prevent it „ even in a gun safe. We live in a salty environment down here in Florida. Our air is salty, our water can be salty and even our sweat is salty. Salt water corrodes quicker than plain water, but either will rust your guns eventually. Most modern guns are treated with some type of advanced coating to prevent rust. Some are using Cerakote, a ceramic based coating that is baked on. Glock uses Melonite and Springfield Armory uses Tennifer, both of which are essentially the same treatment „ salt bath nitriding, also known as ferritic nitrocarburizing. It essentially soaks into the metal to protect it. Any of the above is much better than older processes, such as bluing or Parkerizing. Bluing is a process of controlled corrosion. The chemicals used actually corrode the metal with a colored rust to protect it from oxidation. However, with todays EPA standards, it has become very expensive to use the older hotŽ method of bluing a gun. Having one redone properly is very expensive and will usually cost more than the gun is worth. Thats why Cerakote has become so popular. With Cerakote, you can get a better coating for cheaper. The only downside is that with older firearms, you can actually lower the value using something other than the original bluing. Relying on any coating to provide 100 percent protection for your guns is a bad plan. Protecting your firearms is your responsibility, and any excuse for not doing so is just laziness. It takes about 5 minutes of your time to wipe a gun down with an oily rag to protect it. Thats something that was ingrained in my a long time ago by my father. We didnt have high-tech coatings back then; every gun we purchased was blued or stainless steel. Stainless steel needs protecting too. Its stain-less, not stain-free. What oil you use is paramount, and this is no place to be a baby bird (cheap, cheap, cheap). Use a gun oil with a good reputation. Please notice I said gun oil „ not motor oil, reel oil, WD-40, CorrosionX or something you use on your boat. Simply spray the oil on a cotton cloth and wipe a light coat on your firearms. I do this once a month, or any time the guns are handled. Your skin has oils and sweat and other chemicals on it that will eventually rust your firearms. These need to be cleaned off. I dont like using WD-40 because it evaporates. Youre going to spray it on, its going to go away, and our salt air will rust your gun. I dont like using motor oil for protection of my guns. I will use synthetic motor oil to lubricate my guns, but not for rust prevention. I also dont use other oils or basic lubricants. These may evaporate; discolor the wood, plastic or rubber of the accessories; or in a couple of years turn to molasses and gum up the action of the gun. I see this too often in the gun shop. Pops pulls out his old .30-06 that has been sitting inside a gun rag under his bed for the past 20 years. He sprayed it full of something other than gun oil to protectŽ it, and it has turned into something that looks like a cross between bearing grease and chewed bubblegum. Its a mess, and cleaning it out is a nightmare. Most of us keep our guns in safes. Believe it or not, guns will rust sitting all by themselves in a gun safe. Most cheap safes are stamped thin-gauge steel, with lots of holes in them for mounting options. This lets in our salty air, so guns will rust. Big, heavy, fire-rated safes are steel filled with concrete. Water is one of the ingredients in concrete, so a brand-new safe is still venting off moisture. Moisture means rust. Plus, your house can be corrosive. Formaldehyde and sulfur are used in the making of drywall. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a metal-eating bacterium that can live in the pyrite of drywall. If you have well water, theres sulfur gas coming out of your pipes. All of these speed up the corrosion of metal. Yes, it can be a pain in the butt to pull each gun out of the safe and wipe it down. Youre banging them against each other, scratching them, etc. This can be avoided, but itll cost a little more. There are products that you can put in your gun safe to control corrosion. First are storage bags and capsules. ZeRust makes a pretty good product. You simply put your gun in the bag and it will keep your firearms from corroding. Or you can add their capsules to your safe and it will do the same thing. These types of products use VCIs (vapor corrosion inhibitors). They are usually FDA-approved and safe. There are many different companies that make passive VCI devices. Then you have active devices. These run on electricity to suck the moisture out of the air to protect your guns. Some are VCI devices and some are dehumidifiers. Both types work equally well. Some safes have electrical outlets in them for lights and these types of products, but if not there are battery-powered option also. So there ya go. Protect your guns from rust. It will keep them running in top order, and also help to keep their value up too. No excuses! Capt. Cayle Wills is a USCCA-certified firearms instructor and gunsmith.

BoatingAndFishing.com € PAGE 12 € JULY 13, 2023 Shutterstock photoMost modern RVs have some type of leveling system built in, but having it and understanding how to use it are two different things. Level your RV on wet groundParking your RV on perfectly level ground is ideal, but not always possible. However, just like your home, having a level floor matters. Thats why most RVs have some kind of leveling system. The auto-leveling systems found in most modern RVs make the whole process of leveling your coach quite easy. Hit the power button to turn the unit on, then hit the all extract to auto-level „ simple. This is great when you are on solid ground. But one thing I have learned is that you do not always get to be on solid ground. I spent a week at an RV park in Kissimmee. Nice place. A little cramped, but I was able to move the RV through it well enough to get it backed into our spot. When we first got there, they took me on a ride to show which sites were available. The spot I ended up picking had a wooden deck out front, which would make it easy for me to sit and re-rig my fishing rods after I came back in off the water. But I should have paid attention to how wet the ground was where I was going to park the RV. When I brought the RV over and backed it in, the tires were moving ground „ literally forcing it out from under the tires and up the sides as it sank down some before it got to any solid ground beneath the tires. That was a little scary. I knew if I put the levelers down, they would simply sink into the squishy soil. And because I wasnt carrying any pieces of wood or anything to lay under the levelers to support them, I had to go on the hunt for something to let them rest on. I guess thats another habit I should start.Fortunately, there were some scrap pieces of 2x6 boards at the back of our site that someone had obviously used in the past. I grabbed those and set them under the levelers so they wouldnt get full of mud. I started the extract of the levelers and double-checked them before they hit the ground to make sure the boards were in the right spot. Once I knew everything was lined up, I let the levelers go to do their magic.But I got a message when the levelers stopped: Ground too sloped to level.Ž The ground was so wet that even with the pieces of board that I had found to support the levelers, the surface was not solid enough to support leveling the RV. Mind you, it wasnt that far off. I keep a golf ball handy just to see how level it really is even when I dont get a message like that. The RV park was nice enough to let me pick my spot, and like a true newbie I picked one that was a swamp-hole. The good news was that when it was time to leave, I was able to extract the levelers and drive the RV out with no issues. Except for the wheels throwing some mud onto the bodywork and undercarriage, we came out unscathed. Not every RV park is going to have flat paved spot to park the RV. I get that. And shame on me for picking the worst spot in the whole complex. But it made me aware of the fact that I really need to be carrying something to lay under those levelers. Without them, putting the levelers down would have been useless, and who knows how far we would have sunk the tires into that soft ground. Just another lesson learned in the world of RV living, I guess. Whenever I think Im getting the hang of this, something else comes up and my education continues. Maybe it is the fact that this RV is bigger and has more toys, but it just doesnt seem like I can get everything perfect for any one trip. I expect that time will come, though. Until then, I continue to learn as I go „ one lesson at a time. Greg Bartz is a tournament bass fisherman based in Lakeland.

€ PAGE 13 € JULY 13, 2023BoatingAndFishing.comBY THE WILDLIFE CENTER OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDAWe need to have a public awakening. Not only because we, as humans, have been taught to see some animals as a nuisances,Ž but more importantly how to go about removing them from your property. Upon noticing they have a rodent around, many people will run out to the local hardware store or even a big box store, where the shelves are filled with lethal ways to inhumanely kill rodents. Just because it is easy to obtain something doesnt mean its the right tool for the job. We want to share with you some very important information that is not necessarily common knowledge. When you place rat poison, glue traps, or other harmful rodent management tools out, you are not just killing a mouse or a rat. Prior to the rodent dying, it will become sick and lethargic, making it an easy meal for any number of predators in area, leading to a secondhand poisoning. We very often receive large birds of prey that have been poisoned by rodenticides. You are potentially killing osprey, owls, eagles, coyotes, bobcats, or foxes. It is more common than you know for a neighbor to set out rat poison stations that ultimately poison and kill their neighbors pet unintentionally after theyve found the dead or dying rodent. Primary poisoning is also a concern, as many small non-rodent animals can often get to the poison too. Another consequence of using rodenticides that homeowners should be aware of is secondary ingestion. This occurs if an animal consumes the dead animal that has not finished digesting the poison. In this case, the dead animal would still have some undigested poison in its mouth or gut. This is a different situation, because the animal in question, such as a dog or wildlife scavenger, will be eating the poison directly, along with the dead animal. Secondary ingestion is a greater concern with rats compared to mice. That is because most mice can only ingest about four grams of bait, while adult rats can consume as much as 30 grams. Glue traps kill wildlife too, especially if an insect or rodent that has been trapped attracts another animal that tries to eat it. Glue traps are also inhumane, as the trapped rodent usually dies of dehydration. Its common for the trap to be throw away with a live rodent still stuck in the glue. If you did that to a dog or other animal, it would be considered criminal. We recommend utilizing exclusion methods to resolve any rodent issues. Use strong metal mesh (hardware cloth) to block any possible entrances the rodents can use to gain access to your home. Additionally, it is helpful if you remove any food source drawing them in to your property. Keep in mind that ultimately every animal has a purpose and a place in our ecosystem. Killing them is not the right answer. Allow nature, in all its intelligent design, to maintain the balance. All of our predators deserve a poison-free meal for the work they do to minimize rodents. Consider keeping that dead tree on your property, that could serve as a home to an owl or another bird of prey. If you have questions about animals in your area, give us a call. We would love to offer you some wonderful humane methods to convince animals to not visit your home. The Wildlife Center of Southwest Florida is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that cares for native wild birds, mammals and reptiles, with the exception of marine mammals. Additionally, through various programs we strive to educate the community on how to successfully co-exist with our wildlife and the importance of it to our environment and ecosystems. For more info, call 941-4849657 or visit WildlifeSWFL.org. How rodent problems become wildlife problems Unfortunately, rodents dying of poisoning are easy prey, and dead ones are often scavenged by predators. The result: Many thousands of poisoned predatory animals that sicken or die every year. Shutterstock photosKilling rodents with poison might seem like a great out of sight, out of mindŽ solution to your pest problems.

Red grouper recreational harvest will be closed until the 2024 fishing year begins on Jan. 1, 2024. Landings information received from the Southeast Fisheries Science Center and Southeast Regional Office indicates the 2023 recreational annual catch target (ACT) of 1,840,000 pounds gutted weight is projected to be met on July 20, 2023.
