You meet lethal force with lethal force.Ž Its a phrase Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell has said a few more times than usual this year. His deputies have shot two different men in crisis during domestic violence calls, with very different outcomes. Near the end of February, Jacob Taulbee, 41, was shot eight times while intoxicated and threatening deputies with two knives, according to the sheriffs of“ce. His injuries were fatal. More than two weeks later, former deputy Casey Roberts, 36, was shot once in the leg after trying to cut his own wrists and throat with a kitchen knife, before charging at a deputy, the agency says. He was admitted to the hospital with a shattered femur. Under investigation, the two shooting incidents to start the year come after no law enforcement of“cer with the larger agencies in Charlotte and Sarasota counties “red a gun in a resistanceŽ situation in all of 2016. Under the Charlotte County Sheriffs Of“ce policies, consistent with other agencies, deputies are instructed to use only the amount of force necessary to stop whatever force is being used against them or another person. If I had an individual with the same height, weight, and size coming at me unarmed, I dont have the right to pull a gun out and shoot them,Ž said Charlotte Sheriffs Lt. Kenrick Roguska, commander of the training unit. However, if an individual is armed and deputies reasonably believe lethal force is needed to protect themselves or others, they are authorized to kill. Thats true no matter what the individuals state of mind is. Lethal force doesnt always result in death, but of“cers are trained to shoot at a persons center of mass. Roguska said the reason is that under stress, of“cers normally only hit what they are aiming at 20 percent of the time. People think we can shoot guns out of hands, or shoot people in the leg, and its not realistic,Ž Roguska said. An arm or a leg is a smaller target, and were more likely to miss.Ž2016 RESPONSE TO RESISTANCEThe Charlotte County Sheriffs Office has started the year with two deputy-involved shooting incidents. Last year, it was among area agencies not to fire a gun in a resistanceŽ situation.

LETHAL | 4 PHOTO PROVIDED BY THE CHARLOTTE COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICECCSO ocers train using a role-playing scenario. By ANNE EASKERSTAFF WRITER Three myths among our readers include „ Medicare is a solvent system; I prepaid my Medicare all those years; Medicare takes care of the health care expenses of our retirees. None of these myths are correct. Medicare is currently projected to run out of money in 12 years. We have fewer young people funding the health care expense of older people. We need a new funding mechanism if we are going to continue to take care of our elderly population so we can retire with dignity and security. We also did not prepay our Medicare. If we are on Medicare, we are on a government welfare program. Medicare is a welfare health care system based solely on age. The Medicare health care we receive has nothing to do with any money we may or may not have paid in taxes, while we were or were not, working. Look at the actual data. Only 37 percent of the costs of Medicare are covered by Medicare payroll taxes. Most of the rest of Medicares costs are paid for from general fund revenues. Perhaps more fairly stated, the government is borrowing money every day to fund our health care welfare program for those 65 and older. Many young people think Medicare takes care of the health care expenses for the retirees. Not true either. Health care outlays still consume on average one-third of retirees income. If you are a young person, imagine one-third of your income going to pay health care expenses, even though you have health insurance. Medicare is insolvent, not a prepaid program and does not entirely take care of retiree health care costs. We are increasing the national debt every year to fund retiree health care. Can we have an actual conversation about the best way to handle the growing health care costs for the elderly without overburdening our young? Perhaps the problem is individual responsibility. From 1960 to 2014, the percentage of all health care costs paid directly by the consumer went from 48 percent to Health care, Medicare and mythsDAVID | 2 DavidDUNNRANKINPRESIDENTMURDOCK „ In deciding to halt negotiations with the low bidder of a sewer project, Charlotte County opted to reopen the bidding process, delaying construction for several months. Previously, commissioners elected to move forward with a new Loveland Grand Master Lift Station and gravity sewer system near Midway Boulevard, despite bids coming in way above the budgeted amount. Of“cials said the project was critical to allowing the Mid-County septic-to-sewer conversion program to stay on the fast track. But at the last commission meeting, Kim Corbett, county purchasing manager, said negotiations with the low bidder failed to bring the price within budget. Furthermore, the county reversed course by determining that because the projects scope had been reduced to lower costs, the contract should be rebid. You cant change the process midstream,Ž she said. It was a concern that the integrity of the bid was being jeopardized.Ž This same argument was voiced by Commissioner Joe Tiseo last month, when the issue “rst came up for discussion, saying a substantial modi“cation in the project requires the bidding process be reopened. However, the commission elected at that time to proceed with the project.

Some readers, and the Donald TrumpPaul Ryan health care plan, want us to return to a system where individuals start paying for more of their health care costs again. People will change their behavior if they can reduce costs or avoid higher charges. Lets be clear about the responsibility of the individual for their own health and require that decisions have consequences.Ž „ BF I agree BFs idea has merit. The challenge is who exactly should be responsible for more of their health care costs? The poor, the wealthy, the elderly, the young, everyone? Will more individual responsibility save costs? The U.S. has far more out of pocket expenses already falling on the individual than other countries „ but that has not resulted in lower health care costs. I realized, after connecting with many of our readers, that we will never go back to BFs idea of individual responsibility and free market pricing for the cost of health insurance. Consider that in my “rst column on heal th care, I noted that the elderly have eight to 10 times the health care expenses of the young. We have our young subsidize these higher medical charges of the old. I asked whether that was a good idea. Would it be better to implement a free market where the elderly paid more of their actual health care costs? We are in one of the most politically conservative areas of the country, but the idea of a free market that priced health insurance based on age made our readers quite upset. How dare I suggest a free market approach where each individual pays for health insurance based on their likelihood of having medical claims. A retiree should not pay 10 times the cost for health insurance as someone age 20, even if that higher insurance premium more fairly represents a retirees likely health care costs. In another column, I noted the Trump-Ryan plan would allow insurers to charge up to “ve times the health insurance rate for someone age 60 as someone age 20. Not a single reader, in this quite conservative area, wrote me to say charging someone, age 65, “ve times the price for health insurance, sounded like a good idea. It surprised me that the will of the people, in this bastion of conservative Republicans, is that we all are in this health care mess together, not individually. You all suggested health care should be just like how we handle our support of schools. After all, retirees dont use schools but help pay for them. If you lose your job, your kid doesnt get kicked out of school. It seems pretty clear to me from the comments of our conservative community that we are headed for a single payer (government) plan for health insurance that covers every American. Our readers comments suggest we might retain more of a free market on the supplier side „ doctors, drugs, hospitals.

Polk Avenue, Arcadia SARASOTA „ When Sarasota County commissioners approve the “scal year 2018 budget in September, it will be a balanced budget with income equaling expenditures. Thats what county residents and taxpayers expect of their local government. To another group of people, however, the minute that budget is adopted, the county is in the red. Thats due to a rule called GASB-54, an accounting standard set by the Government Accounting Standards Bureau, a private organization that creates the accounting rules for state and local governments that follow generally accepted accounting principles. It assumes that all the money in “scal year 18 is spent when thats not the case,Ž Deputy County Administrator and Chief Financial Of“cer Steve Botelho told commissioners during their most recent budget workshop on March 29. It makes the rating agencies think were in the hole,Ž Botelho added. It leads to some lengthy phone calls. They really get into the details.Ž The true budget picture for the county lies in the modeling done by the county budget staff that takes into account 10 years of the countys “nancial history to predict where the county is going to be at any point in time. That model, for example, indicates that the county will experience a shortfall of $3.5 million in “scal year 2019 and approximately $778,000 in “scal year 2020. That modeling gives the budget staff, and ultimately the commissioners, plenty of time to shift priorities to plug the gap. On the other hand, the GASB model shows the county in a de“cit of $5.6 million next year, $10.6 million for FY 2019, and $1.9 million for FY 2020. So, were being penalized for having a more conservative approach,Ž Commissioner Charles Hines observed. That conservative approach to budgeting is re”ected in the county practice of having a reserve fund equal to 60 days, which is regarded as the best practice according to the Government Finance Of“cers Association, Botelho said. Yet, the state legislature, according to Commissioner Nancy Detert, is suggesting a reserve fund of 30 days. GASB 54 is a uniform way of reporting,Ž Commissioner Alan Maio said. But I can tell you our own data has been deadly accurate year after year.Ž Then theres another budgeting practice that the county uses that GASB 54 doesnt take into account. Knowing that not all of the property tax will be collected every year, the county only budgets for 95 percent of the expected reve nue on the tax rolls. From a “scal standpoint, you guys are doing a great job,Ž Hines said. Were keeping it (the tax rate) incredibly low compared to other counties.Ž Commissioners will conduct two more budget workshops, on April 26 and May 26, before moving into their annual budget workshops in mid-June. Those workshops are traditionally when the county departments and the constitutional of“cers present their budgets for c ommissioners to consider, followed by setting the tentative millage rate in July.

Our Town Page 4 E/N/C www.yoursun.com The Sun / Sunday, April 9, 2017 AN OUTSIDE OPINIONPhilip Stinson, a professor at Bowling Green State University who specializes in criminal justice and police behavior, said it seems like the shootings were justi“ed. He said law enforcement has been trained for many years that someone brandishing a knife within 21 feet is capable of killing them. Interestingly, I am aware of no research that supports this proposition,Ž Stinson wrote in an email. But, knives are very dangerous lethal weapons. Of“cers confronted with an angry/upset person brandishing a knife sometimes have to make a split-second life-or-death decision as to whether to use deadly force.Ž As to the two different outcomes, he said, The answer is that police of“cers in street encounters are bad shots; they often miss their target in real shootings.Ž He said eight shots doesnt seem unusual or suspicious to him, given that law enforcement typically carries semiautomatic pistols, which carry up to 22 rounds of ammunition. A study by the Force Science Research Center showed that even inexperienced shooters can “re three rounds in one second. Its hard to say whether there could be a better response for mental health crises, Stinson said, because situations are all unique, and the lack of mental health care for many individuals makes law enforcement the “rst responders for those in any sort of crisis. Policing is violent and with the deinstitutionalization of the mental health system in this country (coupled with the inadequate levels of funding for community mental health centers and health insurance access issues), police of“cers are the front line response to many people with mental health or substance abuse crises on a daily basis all over the country,Ž he said. The current systemŽ (or lack thereof) puts a huge strain on law enforcement agencies.ŽA SYSTEMIC PROBLEMThe effects of that strain are made clear from a study by the Treatment Advocacy Center, which found that the risk of being killed during a police encounter is 16 times greater for people suffering a mental illness than for other civilians. Mental illness is believed to be a factor in one in four fatal police encounters, but its role is often overlooked due to inconsistent or lack of reporting. Its really hard to “gure out the numbers, but no matter what you look at, its just way overrepresented that the folks that are ending up in these police shootings are suffering from mental illness,Ž said Director of Advocacy Frankie Berger. Berger said overwhelmingly, individuals dont get a decent intervention from the mental health system before their behavior requires law enforcement to step in. The study, Overlooked in the Undercounted: the Role of Mental Illness in Fatal Law Enforcement Encounters,Ž explains: After a half-century of closing public psychiatric hospitals without replacing them with community-based facilities „ a trend called deinstitutionalization „ several hundred thousand people with mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and severe bipolar disorder, cycle chronically through the streets, hospital emergency rooms and, most frequently, the criminal justice system. When individuals with severe mental illness become disruptive or dangerous, law enforcement is forced onto the mental health front line because there is no alternative.Ž Berger said the laws in many states require a person to be dangerous before anyone else can intervene. Then, they are met with law enforcement who are often not adequately trained to help. The best solution would be to address the problem at its root, with increased access to inpatient care, expanded outpatient services, and reforming laws that create barriers to treatment for high-risk individuals. In Florida, funding is one major issue. The National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors Research Institute says Florida is dead last among states on mental health funding. The Treatment Advocacy Center states that a minimum of 50 beds per 100,000 people is considered necessary to provide minimally adequate treatment for individuals with severe mental illness, and Florida has only 13.1. The likelihood of incarceration rather than hospitalization is 4.9 to 1. In its study, the Treatment Advocacy Center, states that best practice for reducing fatal police shootings in mental illness situations is a straightforward approach: treat the symptoms and avoid the encounter altogether.Ž However, they also list techniques for law enforcement to improve interactions with the mentally ill, including de-escalation training, co-responder teams of deputies and mental health professionals, and helping stabilize people with chronic mental health crises.CIT TRAININGThe deputies in both incidents had been through Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training, an international program designed to equip law enforcement personnel with tools for responding to people suffering from mental illness. Local agencies, including CCSO, the Sarasota County Sheriffs Of“ce, the Punta Gorda Police Department and the North Port Police Department all participate in the training. For CCSO, 231 deputies and 60 corrections of“cers have been trained so far „ about two-thirds of the agency. For North Port, 61 of about 100 of“cers have been trained, and in Punta Gorda, seven of 33 of“cers have been trained. Roguska said its the goal to get all members of the agency trained, but the class only takes 25 people at a time, and it can be dif“cult to pull that many deputies off patrol for the whole 40-hour week, Monday through Friday. Charlotte Behavioral Health Center is one organization that offers the training. Chief Operating Of“cer Jennifer Ernst said some areas in the country have mobile crisis response teams to help with mental health crises, but in Charlotte County, law enforcement is always the “rst on scene. Any kind of crisis, law enforcement will respond,Ž Ernst said. Were expecting them to be mental health professionals instead of just police of“cers, because we dont have those emergency services.Ž To better equip law enforcement, the CIT training provides some tools to better understand mental illness. Jim Cox, the lead trainer and CBHC Community Services Program Manager, said the training covers the effects of trauma and medications, substance abuse, child and adolescent development, schizophrenia, autism, Baker Act, verbal de-escalation techniques, and more. We dont necessarily expect the police to be counselors, but we do try to help them be able to identify issues when theyre called to a domestic,Ž Cox said. Punta Gorda Police Cpl. Mark Bala, whos been through the CIT training, said it helps law enforcement understand the perspective of someone with mental illness. If Im dealing with a schizophrenic person whos hearing voices, I know that Im going to have to go slow and give them time to respond, because theyre hearing voices at the same time theyre hearing my voice,Ž Bala said. Bala said when of“cers respond to an incident, its not always clear why a person is acting out, but the techniques taught in the training are helpful for all types of calls. Just slow down and just try to understand from their point of view „ letting them know that we do care,Ž Bala said. Thats probably a couple of the big ones, letting them know we care about them and we are there to help. Not everyone understands that from the police.ŽOTHER OPTIONSIn North Port, Chief Kevin Vespia said mental health has recently been a major focus of the police department. In addition to the CIT training, a North Port Mental Health Task Force recently formed, consisting of members of the police department and area mental health professionals. The focus of the task force is to identify resources available and provide services to citizens with mental illness before their condition rises to the level of a public safety concern. If people get the help, they wont ever need to see us,Ž Vespia said. We dont want to be there.Ž The task force created a brochure identifying local resources, which of“cers hand out any time they perform a Baker Act, including a list of mental health professionals who will respond to a persons home to ensure post care is maintained. According to the most recent statistics available, Baker Acts carried out by the NPPD of“cers from January to October 2016 was 39.25 percent lower than the average for the same time period the three previous years, a fact Chief Vespia believes is the result of the departments efforts within the community. If one of our citizens isnt taking their medication, eventually that will escalate to where its a public service call,Ž Vespia said. By putting that info out, where theyre getting the treatment, and law enforcement doesnt have to be contacted.Ž In Pinellas County, the sheriffs of“ce has taken partnership with the mental health community to the next level by creating a Mental Health Unit, consisting of two teams pairing a deputy with a mental health professional. The unit was created through a competitive grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistances Smart Policing Initiative. Sgt. Kelly Bush said the teams respond to in-progress calls for citizens in crisis situations and follow up to make sure citizens needs are being met and theyre aware of community resources. Before the Mental Health Unit was staffed, we had a handful of deputies that were CIT trained, and they would respond, but they wouldnt have time to do the follow up,Ž Bush said. Sometimes we go back four to “ve times per month. A regular patrol deputy doesnt have time in their day to stay up on that. Its not call, call, call „ its as much time as you need to help that individual.Ž During calls to individuals in crisis, the mental health professional can do on-the-spot therapy and a more in-depth evaluation of what the client actually needs. We were traditionally asking some of the least quali“ed people to evaluate someone for a Baker Act,Ž Bush said. Bush said its possible that the unit will help cut down on violent situations where force is needed, but the mental health professionals are not allowed to go into dangerous, unsecured scenes. Instead, by cutting down on mental health crises overall, the hope is that there will be fewer individuals becoming a threat to others and themselves. Our hope is that something like this would reduce those instances, but can I say for sure? No,Ž she said. So far, the unit has seen positive results. Some clients have started calling the Mental Health Unit directly, cutting down the number of patrol calls. The deputies in the unit are excited and feel like theyre actually making progress with clients they come into contact with, she said. Weve had some clients that were in and out of crisis very frequently, and just by us checking up on them, talking to them, letting them know someone else is there, that frequency is reduced,Ž Bush said. But each client is going to be different.ŽEmail: aeasker@sun-herald.com LETHALFROM PAGE 1 INCIDENT WITH CASEY ROBERTSDate: March 17 Time: 8:30 p.m. Address: 6428 Hamlet Drive, Englewood Deputy: Eric Knapp Shots fired: 1 Outcome: Roberts, 36, hospitalized and charged with domestic violence battery, child abuse without great harm, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, and tampering with a witness. Summary: Under the influence of prescription drugs and possibly cocaine, Casey Roberts allegedly headbutted his wife and hit his 4-year-old daughter with a phone. When deputies arrived to the domestic call, he came out with his hands up and conversed with Deputy First Class Eric Knapp for a few minutes, then went back inside. Roberts came out armed with a 7-inch kitchen knife and attempted to cut his own arms and throat. Deputy Brooke Dooley deployed her Taser, but only one prong hit Roberts, so it was ineffective. According to Sheriff Bill Prummell, the attempt seemed to set Roberts off, and he lunged toward Knapp, swinging the knife upward. Knapp fired once and hit Roberts leg, shattering his thigh bone. He was transported to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, and charged with domestic violence battery, child abuse without great harm, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, and tampering with a witness. „ Source: Charlotte County Sheriffs office SUN PHOTO BY BETSY WILLIAMS6428 Hamlet Drive, Englewood, where a Charlotte County Sheris deputy was involved in the shooting of suspect, 36-year-old Casey Roberts, on Friday, March 17.

During the call, Taulbee was heard making threats, saying he had an explosive, C4, on his shirt and was going to blow up the house. When deputies arrived, Taulbee came out of the woods and charged at the deputies with a Rambo-style knife and a camouflage gut-hook hunting knife. According to Sheriff Bill Prummell, Taulbee said nothing to the deputies, just charged at them and wouldnt stop. When he was less than 10 feet away, Deputy Scott Sarver fired eight consecutive shots, the sheriffs office said. All three deputies who responded to the scene are on paid leave pending the outcome of the investigation. The incident is also being examined by a shoot-review team. Prummell said he believes this is the first time Sarver ever fired a weapon at a suspect during his time with the CCSO. „ Source: Charlotte County Sheriffs office SUN PHOTO BY BETSY WILLIAMS6229 Marcum St., Englewood, site of the ocer-involved shooting on Feb. 26.

BAKER ACTIf an individual has demonstrated, through words or actions, that he or she is suicidal, that he or she intends to harm himself or herself or others, or that he or she is incapable of caring for himself or herself to the point of severe self-neglect, the Baker Act „ also known as the Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 „ gives Floridas law enforcement officers the right to take the individual into protective custody, with or without his or her consent. An individual who is Baker ActedŽ is taken into custody and detained in a Florida mental health facility for a maximum of 72 hours.

Dean also noted that law enforcement officers often believe theyve fired fewer shots than they really have, due to physiological responses to stress, such as time dilation and auditory exclusion.

You may notice a new symptom or change in your body and become convinced its a sign of a horrible illness; a loved one might become ill and you might worry it may also happen to you. In fact, it can be helpful to be concerned about your health. This is the type of concern that might motivate you to visit your doctor to check a sore back, apply sunscreen to prevent skin cancer, eat well, exercise or drink enough water. Usually, worries about your health are shortlived and disappear after symptoms go away or after you receive the allclear from your doctor. But for some people, what starts as a normal health concern can tip over into a serious mental health problem you might know as hypochondria, health anxiety or to give it its of“cial title, illness anxiety disorder. So how can you tell if your health concerns are helpful or harmful? And where can you go for help?What is illness anxiety disorder?Illness anxiety disorder involves an overwhelming, disabling and crippling fear of illness and is a new psychiatric disorder listed in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, known as DSM-5. Illness anxiety disorder replaced the contentious diagnosis of hypochondriasis in previous versions of the DSM. The new label, which is also sometimes referred to as severe health anxiety or health anxiety for short, is less stigmatising, and better re”ects the fact anxiety about illness is at the heart of this condition.How do you know if you have it?Like any mental health condition, answer the following questions to see if your anxiety has become a problem: € Is it lasting too long, occurring too often and dif“cult to control? € Is it out of proportion to the actual danger or seriousness of the physical symptoms? € Is it distressing or affecting your quality of life, well-being and relationships? Do you ever Google your symptoms or check your body a lot for illness signs and symptoms? Are you very careful about what and where you eat because you are afraid you might get sick? Do you seek a lot of reassurance from friends, loved ones or health professionals about your health, or go straight to the doctor as soon as you notice a change in your body? Or do you simply spend a lot of time thinking about your health, dreading the idea you may become sick? These things arent necessarily a sign of anything unusual, but if they happen too often or start affecting your quality of life, they might be a signal you need to seek help and support.Illness anxiety is commonWe published data from an Australian population survey that found illness anxiety affects 5.7 percent of Australians at some point in their lives. Thats over one million people. As well as placing a burden on the individual, it places a burden on society due to excessive health care use. There is also little community awareness it exists. And it is often misdiagnosed as a personality traitŽ rather than a treatable condition.Illness anxiety comes in many shapes and sizesThe illnesses people fear are vast and varied. While the creative ways the mind interprets what is going on in the body can be fascinating, its also troubling how debilitating this condition can be. Some people are terri“ed of having cancer, heart defects, HIV or other STIs, despite repeated reassurance and negative test results. Others are anxious they have neurological conditions and dementia despite all evidence pointing to the contrary. Some are convinced they have parasites, mental illnesses and even Ebola. Most people with illness anxiety frequently seek health care, with higher overall rates of health service use in people with illness anxiety compared to the general population. But people may also avoid health care because they are terri“ed of “nding out they are sick.Where can you find help?Illness anxiety can be successfully treated using cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT, a kind of therapy that teaches new ways of thinking and behaving. In CBT, we teach people how to recognize the symptoms of illness anxiety, and practical strategies to overcome the thoughts, worries and unhelpful behaviors (like excessive counterproductive body checking) that make illness anxiety worse in the long term. The aim of CBT is not to take away all anxiety but to help people live a normal, healthy life without the dread of illness hanging over them. If you are considering CBT, the “rst step is to see a doctor you trust for a general health check, and to rule out serious illnesses. You can receive CBT in face-to-face sessions at specialist anxiety clinics or with experienced psychologists. Recent research shows self-help and online treatment also have excellent results.Mental health check: How do you know if youre obsessed with your health?By JILL NEWBYUNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES www.royalpalmmemorial.com in association with FL Pre-Planning Alliance & Fort Myers Memorial Funeral Home Limited Time Offer 27200 Jones Loop Rd., Punta Gorda (941) 621-6615 SIMPLE CREMATION PRE-ARRANGEMENT OFFER FOR $ 1495 00 EA.

The revised project called for just one main sewer line and a smaller lift station. The only two bids submitted for the original project greatly exceeded the $17.6 million budget. The low bid, submitted by Guymann Construction Inc. of Cape Coral, came in at $26.6 million. Tiseo expressed his satisfaction that the project would be resolicited, explaining the competitive process would ensure both the lowest price and fairness to other bidders. I am very happy that this thing is going out to a sealed-bid process,Ž he said. Gregg Marsh, vice president of Forsberg Construction, Inc. of Punta Gorda, also was pleased the commission saw “t to reconsider its position. As the other quali“ed bidder not invited to the negotiating table, Marsh said he tried to work with the county to achieve a lower price. Throughout the bid process ƒ we attempted to provide guidance to the county that would have lowered the overall cost of the project; however, our attempts fell on deaf ears,Ž he said. While stating his intent to bid on the project again, Marsh agreed that a second go-around would bene“t Charlotte taxpayers and correct an earlier wrong. There were drastic changes in the scope of the project. I think county staff didnt realize the extent of the changes,Ž he said. For the county, this is de“nitely in their best interest. The key is to keep it a competitive process.Ž Prompting still more commission debate was how county engineers could have underestimated the projects cost by so much. Its very, very disappointing that these opinions were so far off,Ž Commissioner Ken Doherty said.Email: groberts@sun-herald.comSEWERFROM PAGE 1 CHARLOTTE Shirley May GabrielShirley May Gabriel, 87, of Port Charlotte, Florida, passed away Thursday, March 30, 2017.

Few expected the balance might be tipped by the addition of another red state, namely the Russian red state. This past election was close. Sure the electoral vote wasnt close but many states are winner-take-all so just a little interference could ”ip a state into the red column. Many are perplexed that the Republican party that traditionally supported the Democrats in their ardent adherence to constitutional values is appearing to side with Russia as if it were a fellow red state. Few Republican senators and representatives are supporting the FBI and Democrats as they continue to investigate who was involved with the Russians. We have to hope that Republicans will eventually realize that having the Russian red state in their camp is bad for them and the country. Republicans cant turn a blind eye to Trumps “nances, especially if there is the potential of Russian money being involved.

A front page story in todays Sun looks at the tough decisions police of“cers must make in a situation in which lives are threatened. The story outlines the training of“cers must go through and focuses on two recent shootings by Charlotte County Sheriffs deputies „ one of them fatal. What the story alludes to, but doesnt dwell on, are the dozens, maybe even hundreds, of incidents that do not rise to the level of violence or potential danger as the two shooting incidents. And, in way too many of these incidents, there is a common thread „ mental illness. According to staff writer Anne Easkers story today, mental illness is believed to be a factor in one in four fatal police encounters. Exact “gures are dif“cult to come across because of the dif“culty and inconsistency in reporting encounters with suspects or adversaries who are mentally ill. Its really hard to “gure out the numbers, but no matter what you look at, its just way overrepresented that the folks that are ending up in these police shootings are suffering from mental illness,Ž Director of Advocacy Frankie Berger said in todays story. There are too many people who are dealing with mental health issues and not getting treatment. They may be suffering from depression. They could have an alcohol or drug addiction. They might have more serious issues such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or paranoia. Whatever the case, there are too many who need proper treatment. And, too often they end up doing something that requires law enforcement intervention. The national Treatment Advocacy Center, states that the best practice for reducing fatal police shootings in mental illness situations is to treat the symptoms and avoid the encounter altogether.Ž Easier said than done in a state that ranks 49th for the amount of money spent, per person, on mental illness. Local police agencies, however, are trying to stay ahead of the problem. The Charlotte County Sheriffs Of“ce, the Sarasota County Sheriffs Of“ce, Punta Gorda police and North Port police all participate in Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training. That is an international program designed to prepare law enforcement personnel for encounters with someone who may be mentally ill. There have been 231 deputies and 60 corrections of“cers who have undergone the training in the Charlotte County Sheriffs Of“ce. In North Port, 61 of about 100 of“cers have been trained, and in Punta Gorda, seven of 33 of“cers have participated in the program. North Port has taken training a step further by forming the North Port Mental Health Task Force. The program pairs police of“cers and mental health professionals with a goal of providing services to citizens with mental illness before their condition rises to the point they have a confrontation with police. Another innovative program is being experimented with in Pinellas County. There, the Sheriffs Of“ce is partnering with mental health providers by creating a Mental Health Unit, consisting of two teams pairing a deputy with a mental health professional. The teams respond to calls where a citizen may be in a crisis situation. The plan is to make sure the citizens needs are met before the situation escalates into something that requires a confrontation or arrest. We applaud all these police agencies for taking the initiative to be proactive and try to head off more serious problems. Hopefully the state can recognize the seriousness of the issue and be as proactive in treating the increasing numbers of mentally ill. loaded Social Security obligations onto current taxes. To mask this trust failure, politicians now cheat retirees of cost of living adjustments, using the excuse that medical costs have increased. They have, but since when are medical costs or food costs not part of the cost of living? By any measure, elderlies paid totally for retirement bene“ts, had their trust fund robbed to give bene“ts to those who made no contribution, and are shortchanged by politicians hoodwinking cost of living adjustments. Elderlies may be less servile than party regulars, but we all do become elderly. Wake up, AmericaWilliam E. Gubb Ebglewoodwondering what the difference is between a letter to the editor and what amounts to an ad.

I can understand publishing letters of appreciation for public services, but do you really want to see your opinion page “lled with compliments „ and complaints „ about private businesses?Pam Pugh Rotonda Westwould produce the most beneficial results for all. HB 1043 is an example of a vote that will not only affect their own constituents, but when added to the total votes of the House or Senate can have a positive or negative effect on the majority of Florida residents. FPL is in a pinnacle position here in that they hold a monopoly on the power supply to most state residents. It would seem logical that they would attempt to bene“t all their customers. However as the editorial pointed out, this bill would only bring pro“t to FPL and their shareholders. while raising the rates for all customers. If you were to balance shareholders against total customers the total customers would greatly outweigh the number of shareholders, but remember the non-shareholders receive no bene“t from the “nancial gains made possible if FPL is able to “nance their ventures to produce natural gas outside the state by raising the rates on us. Bottom line, lets all write a note or email our senators and representatives and let them know what we think about this bill.Saunder Hutchinson Port Charlotte

It automatically sets in motion throughout society those irresistible forces for uniformity, for passionate cooperation with the government in coercing into obedience the minority groups and individuals which lack the larger herd sense.Ž „ Randolph Bourne (1886-1918)One hundred years ago, two events three days apart set the 20th centurys trajectory. On April 9, 1917, in Zurich, Vladimir Lenin boarded a train. Germany expedited its passage en route to Saint Petersburg „ known as Leningrad from 1924 to 1991 „ expecting him to exacerbate Russias convulsions, causing Russias withdrawal from World War I, allowing Germany to shift forces to the Western Front. Lenin boarded the train three days after the United States, responding to Germanys unrestricted submarine warfare and other provocations, declared war. Soon 2 million Americans would be in Europe. They, and the promise of many more, compelled Germany to accept an armistice at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. On Monday night and the next two nights, PBS American ExperienceŽ will present a six-hour documentary, The Great War.Ž Watch it and wince. It covers familiar diplomatic and military events, before and after Americas bloodiest battle, the Meuse-Argonne offensive, in which American fatalities averaged 550 a day for 47 days. Woodrow Wilson imposed and incited extraordinary repressions: There are citizens of the United States ƒ born under other ”ags ƒ who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life. ƒ Such creatures of passion, disloyalty and anarchy must be crushed out. ƒ They are in“nitely malignant, and the hand of our power should close over them.Ž His Committee on Public Information churned out domestic propaganda instructing the public how to detect pro-German sympathies. A 22-year-old Justice Department of“cial named J. Edgar Hoover administered a program that photographed, “ngerprinted and interrogated 500,000 suspects. Local newspapers published the names of people who were not buying war bonds or otherwise supporting the war. People were “red or ostracized for insuf“cient enthusiasm. The Espionage Act of 1917 made it a crime to collect, record, publish or communicateŽ information useful to the enemy. In Illinois, Robert Prager, a GermanAmerican coal miner suspected of spying, was stripped, marched through the streets and hanged. The Washington Post deplored such excessesŽ but applauded the healthful and wholesome awakening in the interior part of the country.Ž Josef Hofer and his two brothers were South Dakota Hutterites whose faith forbade any involvement in war, including wearing a military uniform. They were arrested in March 1918, and a week after the armistice they were sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Arriving at the military prison around midnight, they stood naked for hours in a 17 degree November night. Then they were suspended naked from the bars of their cells, their feet barely touching the ground, refusing to wear the uniforms left in their cells. Fed only bread and water, after two weeks David Hofer was allowed to telegraph to Josefs wife, telling her that her husband was dying. He died the morning after she arrived. Prison guards mocked his corpse by dressing it in a uniform. The U.S. military was the worlds 17th largest in April 1917, smaller (less than 250,000) than Romanias, and smaller than Britains casualties in one battle. Americas military became a melting pot for a nation in which one-third of the population had been born abroad or whose parents had been. Fortythree languages were spoken in one Army division raised in New York. One group was ineligible for melting: Printed at the bottom of draft registration cards were these words: If person is of African descent, tear off this corner.Ž The AfricanAmericans from around the nation who joined New Yorks 15th National Guard Regiment, the Harlem Hell“ghters, included Leroy Johnston from Phillips County, Arkansas. He spent nine months in French hospitals recuperating from wounds suffered in the Meuse-Argonne, then in 1919 returned to an Arkansas seething with fears of an African-American insurrection because a returning AfricanAmerican veteran had formed a union of black sharecroppers. The narrator of The Great WarŽ says that as groups of white men roamed the countryside, killing hundreds of black people, a train pulled into the station. A crowd rushed aboard and dragged out four unsuspecting black men. They were Leroy Johnston and his three brothers.Ž After a melee, the mob shot the Johnston brothers to pieces.Ž The war unleashed a ”u pandemic that killed more people in a year „ somewhere between 20 million and 50 million „ than the war killed in four years. The ”us victims included Randolph Bourne. George Wills email address is georgewill@ washpost.com.Experience America during the time of the Great War George Will The business rent tax is the only state-sanctioned sales tax on commercial leases in the entire country and Florida is the not-so-proud holder of that title. Not even tax-happy havens like California and New York impose this state tax on its businesses. Due to this burdensome tax, Florida businesses shell out more than $1.7 billion every year to the state. As a result, our state economy dramatically suffers in the form of suppressed job growth and economic activity. Luckily, Gov. Rick Scott is committed to cutting this tax on hardworking small-business owners and budding entrepreneurs. The governor has repeatedly made cutting or abolishing this tax one of his top priorities for numerous years as part of his commitment to creating jobs for Florida families. Recently, he has hit the road advocating for a 25 percent cut in the tax „ a move that could save Florida businesses more than $400 million per year and reduce prices for Florida consumers. The business rent tax places a disproportionate burden on small businesses and startups that do not have the capital to purchase bigger of“ce space, hire new employees or expand to other locations. All of this creates a chilling effect on many of Floridas more than 2 million small businesses. Since businesses must pay a 6 percent state sales tax on their rent, including added costs to that lease „ such as property taxes, maintenance and the cost of insurance „ and local governments can add an additional 1.5 percent, your local retailer could be easily paying more than $100,000 yearly in taxes on their lease alone. Those costs are ultimately passed down to consumers in the form of higher prices. Floridians still trying to recover from the Great Recession cannot continue to afford these cost increases. The business rent tax undoubtedly puts Florida at a distinct competitive disadvantage, one that is not shared by any other state in the country. It gives the impression that we are closed for business and makes our competitor states look more attractive. It doesnt make sense for a company to move to Florida if they can get similar bene“ts in another state without paying a burdensome tax on their rent. Florida TaxWatchs research has shown that this rent tax presents an impediment to the success of the states businesses, and TaxWatchs longstanding recommendation has been that Floridas policymakers should take efforts toward reducing or eliminating this tax. Unfortunately, despite the support of many lawmakers in the Legislature, this common-sense tax reform has repeatedly languished in the halls of the Capitol. Despite a tighter budget outlook this session, there is still enough money to consider a reduction in the business rent tax. The fairness and competitiveness of our tax structure is paramount to Floridas continued success. If we want to continue to be recognized as the top place in the country for business, we must promote incentive programs like Enterprise Florida and commit to reduce or eliminate the business rent tax. This is the one area where Florida cannot afford to be unique. Pat Neal is a former state senator and former chair of the Christian Coalition of Florida. He currently serves as chairman-elect for the board of directors of Florida TaxWatch, the states independent, nonpartisan, nonpro“t research institute and government watchdog, and is the president of Neal Communities.

Its an alliance of busy women who want to make a difference and can commit a small amount of time and $100 four times a year for local nonpro“ts serving human needs in our community. How it works: Local women commit to attending four short meetings a year to support a local nonpro“t agency by pledging $100 each meeting (tax deductible). Members can nominate a local charity at each meeting. Three charities are chosen from the nomination ballots and those three members give a very short presentation as to why the charity or agency of their choice should receive the donations. Each member then votes and the total is then tallied. The charity with the most votes wins. Each member writes a $100 check directly to the winningŽ organization. Checks are collected, meeting is closed, and 100 percent of the donated checks are presented to the charity on behalf of Women Who Care of CC. The more members, the bigger the impact that can be made on local organizations who are doing a fantastic job mee ting needs in our community. The “rst meeting is scheduled from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. April 24 at Laishley Park Community Room, 120 Laishley Court, Punta Gorda. Women can join just to see how it works before committing. € € € In 1970, Julie Hollander moved to Punta Gorda with her family and bought an iconic home in the historical district. Julie moved from there to Charlevoi condominiums in 1992. Five years later she became the treasurer of the condo and is now retiring after 20 years „ at 87 years old. She was instrumental in keeping the condo from being torn down after Hurricane Charley. She tirelessly went to meetings and met with the construction company to ensure the successful completion of the buildings. She kept the HOA fees at a level that is in-line with other condos in the area, and these are desirable being right downtown between the Ev ent Center and the Sheraton with the tiki bar just footsteps away. There is no compensation for this position, yet she never complained „ just loved what she did for all of those years. Enjoy your retirement, Julie. € € €Positive behavior to be rewardedThe Charlotte County Sheriffs Of“ce in conjunction with the Charlotte Stone Crabs, the Advanced-A Af“liate of the Tampa Bay Rays, announce a new program, the Active Positive Behavior Program which will reward the local community for positive behavior.

Members of the churchs congregation will portray the Twelve Apostles as they introduce themselves and re”ect on the revelation that one of the disciples will betray Jesus. All the actors are in costumes and a lot of them have grown pretty signi“cant beards for this; there wasnt so much shaving in those days,Ž said Mackenzie Albert, the minister of music at the church. The stage will also be adorned with props, a decorated table and a painted background meant to evoke the Upper Room.Ž The production features choral and instrumental music composed by Ruth Elaine Schram, a popular composer of choir music for schools and churches. Although the musicians and chorus will be hidden behind a backdrop, they form an integral part of the production. The music describes symbolic gestures made by Jesus and enhances dramatic freezes the actors make to mirror da Vincis painting. Albert, who became the minister of music for St. Pauls last year, hopes to bring more productions to the church, including continuing an annual Fourth of July concert. My background is Im an opera and orchestra conductor of the New York area. This is the kind of thing which I can bring to the community to invite them to come in and share,Ž she said. The productions content is appropriate for children and admission is free. Following the production will be a communion service for those who wish to take part. Everyone who comes is invited to participate in the communion portion of it, but certainly not expected to. Its very much an individual choice,Ž Albert said. St. Pauls Church is at 5550 S. Sumter Blvd., North Port.

No job too big or too small! LOCAL/REGIONAL NEWSAs I sat in a planning meeting at Elsie Quirk Library listening to the Pioneer Days Committee discuss a shortage of helpers needed at upcoming events, I thought of how important volunteers are in every community. I also knew it was time to ask for help. Sometimes people think they need to be invited in order to get involved. Thats not always the case in small communities. The Pioneer Days Committee, like many others, does an amazing job with planning numerous events. As with any organization there are usually about a dozen volunteers who step up to do the job of 100. The committee needs individuals to help with the Cardboard Boat Race just before Labor Day. They also need help setting up tents for the Chalk Festival on Dearborn Street. They believe teenagers might love to volunteer at these events. The problem is school isnt in session around Labor Day so its dif“cult to reach out to students. A few weeks ago, I watched as the Rotary Club of Englewood and the Englewood Youth Foundation collected hundreds of dollars to give numerous high-dollar scholarships to Lemon Bay High School seniors. My “rst thought was all local schools should get a list of local groups who need volunteers throughout the year and tell students „ especially those in the running for a scholarship „ that these volunteer opportunities exist. Students need 75 hours of community service during their high school career. Another great group I met this week is the YMCA Reads volunteers. On Friday, I covered a volunteer appreciation at the Englewood Y for the YMCA Reads volunteers. It was amazing to learn how dedicated these people are who work with pre-K and elementary school children at Englewood and Venice schools. They read with children up to third grade. One woman, a retired librarian, takes a puppet. She gets the children excited and then they sit quietly and read. At Englewood Elementary School, the children are given a meal before they read so they can concentrate better. Another woman told me while she was at a Zumba class, she was recruited into the Y Reads class. She loved it so much, her husband decided to join her in helping children read. These volunteers are matched with only two children each so they arent embarrassed about missing words or not being able to read very well. After just a few months, these children go from being shy to wanting to read. The experience boosts the childs self-esteem, problem-solving skills and improves his or her reading level. Volunteers are working with students who are in the 20th lowest percentile of readers in the schools. The federal government gives a grant and the YMCA pays another part of the money needed to make this 12year volunteer program a success in these schools. Students made thank you cards and bookmarks with their faces on them for the volunteers. Volunteers were also recognized in North Port recently. On Thursday, North Port City Commissioners decided to deem May 19, Buddy Hughes Day „ which is her 90th birthday. On May 4, they will give the former City Commissioner a proclamation, cake and key to the city. Only a few people have ever been given a key to the city. Commissioners recognized that Buddy has been involved in most veterans groups in the city. She is the VFW Ladies Auxiliary chaplain who loves to read In Flanders FieldsŽ by John McCrae at every veterans ceremony. She sold poppies and everything under the stars for local groups. She is a longtime member of San Pedro Catholic Church, the Senior Center and numerous other organizations. After reading middle school students needed recycled materials for art supplies 12 years ago, Buddy began collecting them. Today her egg cartons, plastic kitty cups and paper towel rolls are turned into art projects in day cares, schools and the Gene Matthews Boys & Girls Club. Buddy is also the only Commissioner to continue attending city meetings „ some that dont end until after midnight. She speaks on almost every item. Thats how she was instrumental in helping get a sidewalk built out at Dallas White Park to accommodate people in wheelchairs on strollers. She complained about it not being done for two years. Finally, it was budgeted and constructed. Teenagers were also spotted doing good deeds in North Port. Members of the Key Club (the teenage branch of Kiwanis) recently painted the home of a widow who lost her husband 23 years ago. With the help of Daryl Mendez, a “nancial associate at Thrivent Financial, students spent a few hours making the womans home look beautiful again. Another neat grassroots group Daryl works with are the newly formed Munchies for Mentoring at North Port High School. With the help of two teachers, students mentor their peers to help bring up their grades. The group meets daily. Some in the community learned of the kindness of these students and want to donate snacks to the group. Again, its tough to concentrate on an empty stomach. Without volunteers, so many things would not get done in our communities. Last Monday, I was asked to help several members of the North Port Friends of the Library unload heavy boxes of books from a moving truck to prepare for their annual book sale. The problem is, the members are in their 70s, and lifting boxes is a challenge. While we were working, I spotted several teenagers whom I thought would quickly jump in the truck and help me if I asked. So I was a little shocked when I asked them and none of them moved. Then one boy, 11, the youngest in the bunch, came forward. Just then one of the older teens said, I dont do community service.Ž He proceeded to drink water as his friend and I worked side by side lugging the boxes from the back of the moving truck. They teased the boy. In all my years living here, Ive never had students/ strangers not pitch in when asked, let alone mock someone who did step up and help. I told the young man helping me that he was the best example of a compassionate, decent human being. When we were done, my face was red and I was dripping in sweat. I thanked him and told him I was a newspaper reporter and wouldnt forget what he did to help the Friends of the Library. He let me take his photo. His friends laughed at him. It just reminded me that the library group is so dedicated that they make sure its attractive enough for young people to want to be there in the “rst place. On Monday, The Friends of the Library need help at 10 a.m. lifting those heavy boxes into the truck. Anyone who wants to help this group could just show up „ no other invitation is needed. Without volunteers, hundreds of homebound individuals would not have food delivered to them every day. Children would not have meals on weekends or school supplies. Community pride would be diminished and things would cost more money. Thank goodness we live in communities that would never let that happen.Email: eallen@sun-herald.com I dont do community service, „ said one teenager SUN PHOTO BY ELAINE ALLEN-EMRICHThis is the young man who volunteered to unload the truck recently for the Friends of the Library in North Port. The group needs help again at 10 a.m. on Monday at the library to load the books back into the truck to take to storage. Elaine Allen-Emrich

Gary grew up spending time camping in the Adirondacks where he loved seeing all the wildlife, mountains and lakes. As an adult, his interest in the natural world, led Gary to pursue an education in biology and environmental conservation. Having traveled extensively in many countries and the United States, he began capturing images of local landscapes. As Gary explains many qualities of light and how they impact the characteristics of people, places and things „ but sometimes just the light itself „ has in”uenced my need to make images.Ž Gary believes artists should always be true to themselves and create something that has personal meaning. It is evident in Garys beautiful photography that he has stayed true to his love of nature. During the winter months, Gary and his wife Judi live on the Peace River in Punta Gorda where they enjoy the wonders of Florida, giving Gary a world of beautiful subjects to capture in his works of art. Many of Garys photographs will be on display at Sea Grape Gallery during the month of May.

Who hasnt been dragooned into participating in a spring cleaning by parents, a spouse or partner? Like your home, your boat or your car, your tech skills also need regular tuneups, particularly in light of the speed of technological innovation and change. Jumpstart your spring tech tune-up with two classes taught by longtime tech instructor John Guerra: iPad/ iPhone Apps: FaceTime, iCloud, Music and NewsŽ and iPad/iPhone for Intermediates, Part I.Ž The classes are slated for April 13 from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., respectively, at Florida Gulf Coast Universitys Renaissance Academy, 117 Herald Court, Suite 211, in Punta Gorda. Guerra is a Columbia University graduate and former Wall Street merchant banker who has taught his highly popular Apple classes at the Renaissance Academy for more than a decade.

The cloud is simply a metaphor for the internet. The cloud is a network of servers that gives users access to services like applications or data storage. Participants will also learn how to get all the news they want, custom designed and delivered to their Apple device for free,Ž Guerra said. Finally, theyll learn how to gain access to more than 30 million pieces of music through Apples music app.Ž In iPad/iPhone for Intermediates, Part I,Ž participants will Discover all the new features and enhancements of Apples latest operating system,Ž Guerra said. Theyll learn interesting tips and tricks to make their experience more pleasant and ef“cient, as well as “nding out about some of the best apps available for the iPad and iPhone.Ž For more information about iPad/iPhone Apps: F aceTime, iCloud, Music and News,Ž iPad/iPhone for Intermediates, Part I,Ž or to register, call 941505-0130.

Its time to get in some reading and movie watching. Here are a few suggestions for what to read or watch next: One of my favorite authors is Robyn Carr. She writes easy-to-read and heartwarming stories that you can “nish in an afternoon by the pool. I just “nished her book The Life She WantsŽ over the weekend. The book is about some old girlfriends who had a falling out just after high school over a boy, of course. Riley and Emmas lives go on very different paths from that point but eventually they meet up again at home and try to pick up the pieces of their friendship. Emmas husband has committed suicide and she is stuck with the stigma of his mistakes. Riley has built a pro“table business that provides decent jobs for single mothers like her. They both have many issues to face and in the end, realize they can get through things better with each other. Throw in a bit of romance, drama, scandal and betrayal, and you have got yourself a good weekend read. If you are a Greg Iles fan, you must know that the “nal installment in his Natchez Burning series just came out, Mississippi Blood.Ž I havent read it yet, but my friend Jamie assures me that it is fabulous. She had to wait until all the books were out to even start reading them because she knew she would not have the patience to wait for the last book to come out. The other books in the series are Natchez Burning,Ž and the next is the haunting The Bone Tree,Ž all set in Iles native Natchez, Mississippi. Put aside a few days and read all three at once, and make sure you have lots of snacks to keep you going until the end. I also took some time to relax and watch one of the many new movies on Blu-Ray that I took home from the library. The movie SolaceŽ stars Sir Anthony Hopkins and Jeffery Dean Morgan (Sam and Deans dad on the TV show Supernatural,Ž if you are a fan). Morgan plays Joe Merriwether, an FBI agent working on a dif“cult serial killer case. Joe calls in his old friend and colleague, John Clancy (Hopkins) to use his special talent to assist with the investigation. Joes partner Katherine is skeptical of Clancys supposed psychic abilities but they soon “nd out these abilities are the only thing that will help them solve this mystery. Full of suspense and drama, this movie will keep you guessing until the end. Dont forget, if you cant get to the library in person you can still get movies, books and music at home through the library. If you have an iPad or Android device, we have downloadable books, movies and music available through a couple of platforms on our website. To access eBooks on the Cloud Library, movies on Hoopla, music on Freegal or magazines on Zinio, go to the library website, www2.yousee more.com/char lottecounty/. Click on the desired button in the middle of the page and you are on your way. Your library is there for you online 24/7, even when we are not open. I hope to see you soon at the library.

For 20 years, the Bird Whisperer has led walks at Cedar Point Environmental Park, directing peoples attention to the jays, mockingbirds and several species of woodpecker that ”y about, along with nesting bald eagles that have called the park home for the last quarter century. But on Saturday, his gaze was grounded, looking for discarded debris as part of the Great American Cleanup, sponsored by Keep Charlotte Beautiful. Ive seen a lot of changes at this park and its better than ever,Ž he said. With a home in Englewood and one on Nantucket Island, of which he wrote a series of bird guides, Blackshaw takes birding seriously, chronicling the 686 species of winged wonders he has spotted in North America and more than 1,000 worldwide. On this day, however, the birds have turned the tables on Blackshaw, with their constant chirping seemingly comparing notes on the visitors below. The 25 volunteers who showed up Saturday morning are all avowed nature lovers. Jim Evans retired to Port Charlotte from South Dakota a year ago, and continues to learn about his new habitat. Carrying a garbage bag “lled with bottles and trash, Evans talked excitedly about his love for “shing. Anything thats biting,Ž he said. Over the last 19 years, Keep America Beautifuls Great American Cleanup has become the nations largest community improvement program. And during that time, more than a few oddities have been found and removed from Cedar Point Environmental Park. Once a suspiciouslooking canister was found, prompting a call to police about a possible bomb threat. After authorities responded in force, the harmless container was determined to have probably dropped from an airplane. Then, in 2013, an artifact of legend washed up on shore. A message in a bottle arrived from Holland three years after a woman named Frederique set it adrift. The message inspired the “nder to begin a correspondence that continued for months, exchanging photographs and well-wishes, albeit by traditional mail. Joanne Murphy, a retired school teacher, never tires of the great outdoors. With seven cross-country trips under her belt, the New England native has been witness to landscapes of splendor, from the changing of the leaves in Vermont to the majesty of the Rocky Mountains. This is a beautiful country we live in. People dont realize the enormity,Ž she said. And you have to drive it to see it.Ž Eventually, though, natures harsher elements of ice and snow were a little too much, so she moved to Charlotte. Murphy is participating with several other conservation-minded members of the Rotonda West Womans Club. Still another admirer of Mother Earth is Bobbi Rodgers, resource manager for the Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center that, along with the Charlotte County Parks & Natural Resources, organized the cleanup effort. As part of her duties, she schedules educational programs at eight county parks and manages the 115-acre Cedar Point Environmental Park, which the county purchased in 1992, established trails in 1995 and opened the Visitor Center in 1998. In addition to the cleanup, two women are collecting the berries of the rosary pea, a dangerous, non-native plant. The poison contained within the bright red seeds, traditionally used as ornamental beads for rosaries, is one of the most fatal toxins on Earth. Well clean up not only litter but also nasty, invasive plants,Ž she said. Caring for the environment is in keeping with Keep America Beautifuls three EsŽ of community engagement: education, environment and events. Neighborhood parks like Cedar Point instill pride in the community, Rodgers said. The good turnout today shows people here are really involved,Ž she said. We want people to have ownership.

NORTH PORT „ For a while Friday night, lt looked like North Ports softball team would come away with a victory against District 7A11 favorite Fort Myers. But the Green Wave scored eight runs in the top of the fifth inning to erase a Bobcats lead on the way to a 11-2 victory. Sophomore Vivian Ponn belted two home runs in the “fth inning for the winners, one a solo shot and a three-run blast as Fort Myers (21-2, 6-0) batted around in the frame. Ponn also had two singles and “nished with four runs batted in. That was the turning point,Ž North Port coach Dennis Bell said. We were hanging right there with them for four innings and Ashley (starting pitcher Ashley Nelson) was doing a really good job.Ž After the Green Wave sent 11 hitters to the plate in the “fth, they added single runs in the sixth and seventh innings to “nish the scoring. Ponn also was the starting pitcher for the Green Wave. She went 3.2 innings before being relieved by junior Hannah Perkins, their top pitcher, who earned the win. They put in their pitching ace (Perkins),Ž Bell said. And she did the job.Ž Perkins struck out seven the rest of the way as the Bobcats couldnt mount a rally. North Port (12-8) opened the game with a run in the “rst inning. Nelson singled and then scored on Taylor Koohns single. Fort Myers scored the tying run in the fourth on a walk, a single and a sacri“ce ”y. With two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning, the Bobcats scored the goahead run with two outs in the fourth. Brianna Heider reached “rst on a throwing error, and another throwing error allowed Heider to score. But that was all the offense the Bobcats could muster the rest of the game. North Port “nished with four hits while the Green Wave had 12. Koohns had a double and single to lead North Port. Nelson pitched “ve innings, belted a hit and scored a run. Before their “fth inning rally, Fort Myers had stranded seven base runners in the “rst three innings. The Bobcats “nished the district schedule with a 2-4 record while Fort Myers will have the top seed for the district tournament. North Port, Venice and Charlotte each have 2-4 records. Charlotte did not have a road victory in district play so it probably will be the fourth seed. It has not of“cially been determined whether Venice or North Port will have the second seed. North Port plays at Bayshore at 6 p.m. on Tuesday in a non-district contest.

NORTH PORT „ Senior Tyler OBoyle pitched a complete game and sophomore Alex Partridge delivered the big hit as North Port defeated Fort Myers, 4-3, in a Class 7A-District 11 baseball game Friday night. The Bobcats “nally picked up their “rst district win after “ve losses behind the strong pitching of OBoyle, who ran into trouble in the second inning, but otherwise kept the Green Wave off balance and off the base paths. He (OBoyle) would be the “rst to tell you he didnt really have his stuff early in the game,Ž North Port coach Dan Pavlue said. But he found it, and in the third inning and moving forward he had it and pitched a heck of a game for us.Ž OBoyle gave up just three hits, walked one and struck out six. The “rst couple of innings were pretty bad,Ž he said. I just had to hit my spots and then let my defense do the rest from there.Ž The Bobcats got a run in the bottom of the “rst as Nathan Vetter reached on an error by Fort Myers shortstop Cameron Wademan, went to third on a single by Patrick Smith, and scored on a base hit by Kody Brittain. The Wave (8-11, 2-4) got to OBoyle in the top of the second. Jake Grif“th was hit by a pitch and Wes Wiles doubled to put runners on second and third. Grif“th scored on a sacri“ce ”y by Grant Boland and Wiles came home on a “elders choice. Pinch runner Daylun Salters stole second and Justin Warren followed with a triple to drive in Salters and make it 3-1. But further damage was avoided when left “elder Dillon Garrett threw out Warren at the plate trying to score on a ”y ball. North Port (9-9, 1-5) wasted no time tying it up as Ethan Krizen led off the bottom of the second with a walk and Garrett followed with a single. The runners moved up on Brandon Corsos sacri“ce bunt, then Krizen scored on a wild pitch by Fort Myers starter Jason Schumbacker. Charlie Davidson followed with a single to bring home Garrett and tie the game at 3-3. Thats how it stayed until the bottom of the “fth inning when Kody Brittain drew a two-out walk off reliever Andrew Dailey. Partridge then laced a line drive into the left “eld corner for a double as Brittain scored all the way from “rst. Partridge was brought up from the JV team three weeks ago and was making his “rst start at “rst base for the Bobcats. I was happy with the way we played tonight,Ž Pavlue said. I challenged our kids to not necessarily make a physical adjustment, but look at how we were playing the game and make an adjustment in intensity and make an adjustment in focus. It was really a lot of little things that we looked at, how can we do some little things better, and I think it added up to a pretty clean ball game for us. We need good pitching, strong defense behind it and hitters who are going up to the plate and swinging the bat and tonight we had it. Partridge came up clutch when we needed it.Ž Added OBoyle: It felt pretty good to get a win after “ve losses in the district. We came out and we did what we had to do. We put the ball in play and put pressure on them, and I let my defense do the work.ŽNORTH PORT 4, FORT MYERS 3Fort Myers 030 000 0 „ 3 3 1 North Port 120 010 x „ 4 8 1 WP: Tyler OBoyle; LP: Andrew Dailey.

OBoyle allowed only three hits in the complete-game win.PUNTA GORDA „ Charlottes boys and girls track and “eld teams are going to be tough outs when postseason starts next week, especially in the sprints. The Tarpons dominated the short events in helping the girls rout the “eld at the Wally Keller Invitational track meet Friday, the last meet before next weeks district meet. Eunice Noel and Jaliyah Underwood swept the top two in the 100-meter hurdles, while Dana Donovan easily won the 100 and 200 meter dashes, and was part of the 4x100 relay with Underwood that took the top spot. Brittany Augustin and Noel placed 1-2 in the 300 hurdles. Still, Underwood said she isnt quite where she wants to be for districts. We have a week of practice, so were going to work hard to improve. If I improve the 100 hurdles, everything else will fall into place,Ž Underwood said. If we work together, well see big things.Ž Natalie Jen won the pole vault, with Ulyana Clarke “nishing third for the Tarpons, which won the team title easily with 136 points. Gulf Coast (73) and Lely (59.5) completed the top three. For the boys, it was the usual suspects in the short game that kept the Tarpons a”oat. Savorion Warren won the 100 meters in a race in which the top “ve “nished less than a tenth of a second apart, while DVonte Price took the 110 hurdles, with teammate Trevor Hohne in second, and placed second in the long jump. Charlotte also won the 4x100 relay. Lely won the boys division with 110 points, 4.5 ahead of Naples with Charlotte third at 77.5. Jerry Voss, Charlotte coach, said his competitors are about where they need to be. We know what we have. We have strengths and weaknesses and this is when you “nd out what you have,Ž said Voss, whose girls also won the 4x800 relay. We just get better. Times go down and distances go up.Ž Lemon Bay had its moments even as the girls “nished eighth on the strength of their distance running, and the boys with their ability to overcome illness and the absence of two of their better throwers. Maddison Welch and Kelsi Ogilvie placed in the top three in the 1600, while Kristen Robinson, who was running with a cold, was the sole Manta Rays winner with a victory in the 3200. For the boys, Dylan Brady “nished second in the high jump and Thomas Cheney was third in the 100m hurdles as the Mantas “nished 12th as a team with 18 points. Our young ones are emerging and the veterans are doing what they need to do,Ž Lemon Bay coach Joe Casale said. Were starting to come into form for next week.ŽWally Keller InvitationalBOYS Team results Lely 110, Naples 105.5, Charlotte 77.5, Gulf Coast 64, Community School of Naples 58.5, Golden Gate 41.5, Palmetto Ridge 32, First Baptist 30, Gateway Charter 30, St. John Neumann 25.

The Pirates battled Mariner and record-setting pitcher Hannah Holloway for 11 innings at the Pirates Cove, “nally dropping a 1-0 decision in the District 6A-11 contest. Twice, the Pirates got the potential winning run to third base, but couldnt get the runner home. When the game ended, the potential tying and winning runs were aboard. What I told them was that, the way we played Tuesday „ we got runruled „ and they came back and played like this against that team against that kind of pitcher. I told them I couldnt be more proud,Ž Pirates coach Ryann Baker said. The way it was played on defense, and the way things happened, I thought they did a heck of a job.Ž Holloway, who broke her own state record of 230 strikeouts in a season, had 15 strikeouts Friday night to give her 238 for the year. Port Charlotte pitcher Seaaira Yiengst battled all night long, giving up six hits over those 11 innings. But a basesloaded hit batter (Ariana Cruz) brought home the nights only run for Mariner. Two hits and a “elders choice loaded the bases before the two-out hit batter. Seaaira pitched a great game. A few too many hit by pitch, but ..., Ž Baker said. Nicole Kroush sparkled at “rst base, using every bit of her lanky frame to stretch out and corral throws. And the Port Charlotte out“eld played perhaps its best game of the season. The Pirates (6-14) “nished 6-6 in the district and were waiting to “nd out who they would face in the opening round of the district tournament later this month. Mariner (15-8, 10-2) “nished second to North Fort Myers (20-3, 12-0) in the district. They were in the game every inning, every pitch,Ž Baker said.MARINER 1 PORT CHARLOTTE 0 Mariner 000 000 000 01 „ 1 6 2 Port Charlotte 000 000 000 00 „ 0 3 1 WP: Hannah Holloway.

DELAND „ Two weeks ago at regionals, Port Charlottes Devin Leacock unof“cially tied the state record for weight lifted with 820 pounds. He was hoping to of“cially break it at the Class 2A state meet Friday, but couldnt nail his second and third clean and jerks to make it happen. But, despite his frustration, Leacock still came away with a state title in the heavyweight class, benching 535 pounds and posting a clean and jerk of 365 for an 800 total, 40 more than second-place “nisher Jason Godfrey from Choctawhatchee. They say Im the strongest in school history. But Im coming a lot harder next year,Ž Leacock said. The junior missed his second clean and jerk of 390 and was hoping to lift over 400 for his “nal attempt to shatter the record. I dont know what happened. I couldve done a lot better but I injured my wrist on 390 for clean and jerk,Ž Leacock said. All I can say is 900 is my number next year.Ž It was a very successful day for Port Charlotte as Leacock wasnt the only Pirate to medal. Jeanty Luidson took fourth in the 238 class and Sabian Levasseur placed sixth at 199 to help lead the Pirates to a sixth-place finish with 12 points, 17 points behind Choctaw, which won its third straight state title. Luidson “nished tied for third with St. Clouds Brian Gembutis at 655 pounds, but lost the tiebreaker on weigh-in. He benched 355 and clean and jerked 300. Levasseur was just “ve pounds off of “fth-place “nisher Jason Manalo from Fleming Island, benching 350 with a 265 clean and jerk for a 615 total. It was about the record (for Leacock), but it was a great day for Port Charlotte High School,Ž Port Charlotte coach Jarrett Debus said. We have a state champ, a fourth place and a sixth place. We brought three kids and three kids medaled. That was the goal.Ž North Ports Alex Jen also represented the area on the medal stand, placing third in the 129 class. Jen benched 245 and nailed his “rst clean and jerk of 200. But the senior couldnt “nish his next two reps of 215 pounds, which would have put him in second place. Ive always had a little problem with the split jerk,Ž Jen said. I think my shoulders were just getting tired on the second one and thats why I kind of bent my arm.Ž Jen, who was seeded second coming into the meet, won a three-way tiebreaker for third on a weigh-in. It felt OK. Im glad I was able to place but Im a little bit sad because at regionals I put up more weight than I did at states. But Im “ne with it,Ž Jen said. Charlotte brought four lifters but none medaled. Jack Fining came close in the 238 class, falling 15 pounds short with a 630 total to “nish eighth. Kaden Howell, who was seeded 20th, exceeded expectations and “nished 12th in the 119 class with a 345 total. Devin Markstahler also “nished 12th at 219, lifting a total of 595. Shekina placed 18th at 183, posting a 310 total as he missed all three of his clean and jerk attempts.Contct Jordan Kroeger at 941-2061175 or email jkroeger@sun-herald.comCLASS 2A STATE WEIGHLIFTINGat DeLand High School Top teams 1.

Alexandre de Juniac, CEO of the International Air Transport Association, which represents 265 airlines, said the electronics ban cannot stand up to the scrutiny of public con“dence in the long term.Ž Its intolerable that governments continue to add to the uncertainties facing the air transport industry by failing to engage airline operational know-how on issues that can damage public con“dence,Ž he said. As the number of electronics has multiplied, the Flight Safety Foundation, an international research non-pro“t, urged the industry to study the threat from storing more electronics in cargo that could overheat if unintentionally left turned on. The increased risk from possibly concentrating hundreds of these devices must be considered, along with the risk from stowing them next to other dangerous goods,Ž the foundation said. After FBI testing uncovered vulnerabilitiesin airport screening that could miss explosives planted in laptops, the Department of Homeland Security announced the banMarch 21. The ban prohibited electronics larger than cellphones in the cabins of non-stop ”ights of nine airlines from 10 airports in ei g ht countries.

Moving forward, Trump continues to face major challenges. While aides touted the con“rmation of Gorsuch and the confronting of Syria, analysts point out that the still-new president must move forward while dealing with investigations over Russia, emerging developments in Syria, friction with Republican conservatives, and in-“ghting among White House senior sta. Hes on a path where there are plunging ravines on one side and deadly swamps on the other,Ž said Rick Wilson, a Republican consultant and Trump critic based in Florida. Trump aides said that these have been big days, but cast them as a continuation of a program to redeem his campaign pledges. We think these are more indicators of the president doing what he said he would do,Ž spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said. That includes making national security a top priority, and focusing on trade and jobs.Ž Gorsuch, the newest member of the Supreme Court, will be part of the presidents legacy,Ž Sanders said. It will have generational impact.Ž She also cited Trumps summit Friday with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the presidents Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla.

John McCain ,Arizona Republican WASHINGTONIts as if Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia never left „ for now. By con“rming federal appeals court Judge Neil Gorsuch to the high court Friday, the Senate restored the status quo „ a slim conservative majority missing from the court since the death of Scalia 14 months ago. But its unlikely to stay that way for long „ and therein lies a huge opportunity for President Trump and his conservative base to reshape the high court for decades to come. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 84. Justice Anthony Kennedy, who once employed Gorsuch as a law clerk, is 80 and said to be contemplating retirement. Justice Stephen Breyer, who like Ginsburg lines up on the left side of the court, is 78. Trump has a lease on the White House through 2020, with an option to extend through 2024. And Republicans, who own a52-48 Senate majority and fewer seats to defend in the 2018 elections, just eliminated the minority partys ability to block Supreme Court con“rmations. You do the math. If one of them were to leave before the 2018 elections and Trump appoints another Gorsuch, the result is likely the most conservative court in at least eight decades,Ž says Lee Epstein, a law professor and political scientist at Washington University in St. Louis who studies the Supreme Court. Thats the “libuster-less result, and the one Republicans are banking on.Ž The actuarial focus on the courts senior justices has become a cottage industry.Several leading liberal academics publicly urged, or at least privately hoped, that Ginsburg would retire while President Obama was in oce, thus increasing the likelihood of a liberal successor.

While con“rming Gorsuch and confronting Syria generate good headlines, Hemmer said they come after disputes over the Russia investigations, the congressional health care failure, sta turmoil, and lawsuits over the presidents proposed travel ban from certain Muslim countries. I think its too early to say its a turning point,Ž she said. RUSSIA INVESTIGATIONSCongress and the FBI are also investigating possible links between Trumps presidential campaign and Russians who tried to in”uence last years election by hacking Democrats close to Trump opponent Hillary Clinton. Trump has denounced the investigations as a hoaxŽ and said he has no ties to Russia. While grappling with investigations and legislation, Trump also faces stories of sta in-“ghting, and competing news leaks that promote or denigrate various factions in the West Wing. Depending on the leaker, Trump is prepared to jettison White House Chief of Sta Reince Priebus or senior adviser Steve Bannon, or both. Senior adviser Jared Kushner, Trumps son-in-law, is reported to be conspiring against Bannon, and vice-versa. Administration ocials called the reports overblown, saying disputes within the team are a normal part of business. Disputing reports of an imminent sta shake-up, Sanders said, Once again, this is a completely false story driven by people who want to distract from the success taking place in this administration.Ž Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a frequent critic of Trump, told MSNBC that the current moment gives Trump an opportunity to reboot with the American people,Ž if he can take it. I would love to see the tweeting stop,Ž McCain said, but I would also like to see pigs ”y.Ž tax reform and infrastructure proposals in Congress, as well as a temporary spending bill that can fend o a possible government shutdown at the end of the month. His team will also be keeping a wary eye on the economy. A labor report Friday said that the unemployment rate has fallen to 4.5%, but employers added a disappointing 98,000 jobs last month, well below projections.SYRIA STILL PROBLEMThe Gorsuch con“rmation and Xi meeting came a day after Trump authorized a U.S. missile strike on an air“eld in Syria he said had been used to launch a chemical weapons attack on civilians. Lawmakers generally backed the action, but pointed out the the Syria problem overall remains. They called on Trump to develop a comprehensive plan in dealing with the Syrian civil war, a con”ict that touches on policies regarding Russia, Iran, the Islamic State, terrorism, and countries that are dealing with a ”oodof Syrian refugees. Its a jigsaw puzzle, and youve got to do this right,Ž said Rick Tyler, a Republican consultant and MSNBC political analyst. He added that the good news is (Trump) was able to act quickly and decisivelyŽ in authorizing Thursdays military strike. The White House is also trying to revive eorts to repeal and replace President Obamas health care law, the Aordable Care Act. That eort ran aground last monthafter opposition from conservatives with the House Freedom Caucus, which objected to a Trump-backed health care bill as inadequate. If the House Republicans prove as unruly on tax reform as they did in ACA repeal, I think well see Trump once again chafing at the limits of his oce,Ž said political scientist Nicole Renee Hemmer, an assistant professorTrump lauded for strikes on Syriav CONTINUED FROM 1B JIM WATSON, AFP/GETTY IMAGESPresident Trump walks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Friday. Their meetings did not produce any dramatic breakthroughs. Two top aides to President Trump held a peace negotiation session this weekend to try and mend a rift that triggered speculation about a White House staff shakeup, officials said Saturday. Senior adviser Jared Kushner, Trumps son-in-law, and senior adviser Steve Bannon met at the behest of Trump, who has expressed irritation about anonymous sniping in the media between the two camps, the officials said. White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus „ also the subject of palace intrigueŽ stories „ had Kushner and Bannon sit down with him to clear the air and end the back and forth, said a senior administration official. The goal, the official said, was to unite the administration so it can focus on the agenda. The official confirmed the Kushner-Bannon meeting on the condition of anonymity in order to speak on internal manners. Other administration officials declined to discuss staff relationships, but denied reports that a major staff shake-up is imminent. Once again, this is a completely false story driven by people who want to distract from the success taking place in this administration,Ž said White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders. In recent weeks, officials have said Kushner has taken on a larger role as Trumps main troubleshooter. Former Trump political adviser Roger Stone has accused Kushner of leaking unfavorable stories about Bannon. „David JacksonBANNON, KUSHNER MEET TO ADDRESS RIFT CHIP SOMODEVILLA, GETTY IMAGESWhite House senior advisers Jared Kushner, left, and Steve Bannon election in November, the pressure to retire may now shift to Kennedy, a moderate whom conservatives would love to replace with one of their own. The shift in the courts ideology would not be as dramatic as replacing a liberal justice, but it would create a more reliable “ve-member conservative majority. The who-will-leave-next parlor game takes on new signi“cance in light of the Gorsuch con“rmation battle. By eliminating the minority partys “libuster rights, Senate Republicans have made the biennial Senate elections a virtual referendum on the Supreme Court. Whichever party wins the Senate will have complete control of the con“rmation process. If all the current justices stay put for the next 577 days, the 2018 Senate elections will likely determine case outcomes in abortion, civil rights, guns, religion, and almost all other hotbutton issues,Ž Epstein says.COURT A HUGE FACTORExit polls taken on Election Day last year revealed that among voters concerned about the Supreme Court, one in “ve listed it as the most important factor.Ž They sided with Trump, 56% to 41%. A president needs to control the Senate to get any nominee through,Ž says Jerey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. In the future, when the White House and Senate are controlled by dierent parties, vacancies could last even longer than 14 months, he says. The elimination of minority party “libusters also could mean that when vacancies on the court arise, presidents can pick nominees further to the right or left without worrying about attracting Senate votes across the aisle. There are lots of great candidates (a Republican president) would be much freer to nominate, but for threat of “libuster,Ž tweeted Ed Whelan, president of the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center, who campaigned hard for Gorsuchs con“rmation. But several factors could mitigate against a president choosing extremists rather than mainstream candidates. Among them: aSenate thats closely divided, powerful grass-roots eorts by opposition groups, and the presidents popularity and remaining time in oce. AVOIDING EXTREMESPresidents have always been very mindful of the fact that there is a risk to nominating someone extreme when the margins in the Senate are fairly narrow,Ž says Leonard Leo, who took a leave of absence as executive vice president of the conservative Federalist Society to help with Gorsuchs con“rmation. That is probably a lesson that was learned quite well over the years.Ž One example of that came this year, when Trump passed up federal appeals court Judge William Pryor of Alabama, championed by leading conservatives „ possibly because he had a more controversial record on issues such as abortion and gay rights. Nan Aron, president of the liberal Alliance for Justice, which played a leading role in opposing Gorsuchs nomination, says progressive groups succeeded in putting pressure on Democrats to oppose him. Next time, she says, their eorts could sway moderate Republicans as well. The excitement and energy of grass-roots activists around Gorsuch will only build and expand and increase with the next nominee, particularly if he or she is anything like Neil Gorsuch,Ž she says. John Malcolm, director of the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the conservative Heritage Foundation, says the Senate rules change should help Trump and Republicans if they get another chance to “ll a Supreme Court seat „ up to apoint. It certainly gives the president a freer hand,Ž he says. But you still need to get to 51 votes.ŽMinority now has little swayv CONTINUED FROM 1B JACK GRUBER,USA TODAYNeil Gorsuch will be sworn in as an associate justice on Monday morning. WIN MCNAMEE,GETTY IMAGESWith Gorsuch on the court, attention will turn to aging justices such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 84. Warplanes returned Saturday to the Syrian town devastated by chemical weapons earlier last week, despite a U.S. missile strike on a Syrian air base thats now back in business. The new airstrikes killed one woman and wounded one other person in Khan Sheikhoun, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Last weeks gas attack killed 86 people, including dozens of children, and prompted the U.S. missile launch. Its not clear whether the new attack was launched from Shayrat, the base damaged by 59 U.S. Tomahawk missiles. The U.S. attack did not reduce the regimes ability to kill civilians. They can still commit massacres at any time,Ž Abdulrzzak Khattab, a resident who said his house was damaged in Saturdays attack, told The Washington Post The airstrikes come a day after aSyrian human rights group reportedthat warplanes were seen taking o from Shayrat. Sources con“rmed ... that the regime and its allied forces have worked to re-repair the runway quickly, in order for these warplanes to take o,Ž the Syrian Observatory reported. James SpiderŽ Marks, a retired major general, told CNN on Saturday he wasnt surprised by the bases reopening because Tomahawks are not equipped to carry large payloads of explosives. The Tomahawk is not a weapons system to crater a runway and render that runway inoperable,Ž said Marks, executive dean of the College of Criminal Justice and Security for the University of Phoenix. But if the United States had chosen to do that „ and certainly weve got the capabilities to crater runways „ its very easy to “ll those holes back in and make arunway usable in very little time.Ž The U.S. missiles struck early Friday morning in Syria, targeting Shayrats airstrips, hangars, control tower and ammunition areas. The Syrian military said at least nine people were killed and several more wounded. Putin condemned the U.S. missile strikes as an act of aggression against a sovereign countryŽ that harms U.S.-Russian relations as well as the goal of “ghting international terrorism, his spokesman said Friday.

But those statistics are not unusual and provide no insight into how Gorsuch may rule on the high court. The vast majorityŽ of federal appeals court cases are decided without dissent,Ž and the 10th Circuit is no exception to this general trend,Ž the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service said in an analysisof Gorsuchs record. Its report said 2.54% of the opinions issued by the 10th Circuit from 1998 to 2009 included a written dissent, citing a 2010 paperin the Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review that reviewed the opinions of six circuit courts. That paper found the 3rd Circuit (2.33%) and the 5th Circuit (1.14%) had lower dissent rates than the 10th Circuit. As for Gorsuch, the CRS calculated the percentage of written dissents among seven judges on the 10th Circuit, and found that Gorsuch displayed relatively more willingness to dissent from others majority opinions than some colleagues.Ž Gorsuchs rate of dissent of 1.6% places him in the middleŽ among his colleagues. Christopher A. Cotropia, who authored the 2010 paper cited by the CRS, told us that the dissent rates for Gorsuch and his court say more about how federal appeals courts work than how Gorsuch may rule on the Supreme Court. Hes doing what most appellate court judges do,Ž Cotropia, a law professor at the University of Richmond, said in an interview. Its not instructive as to what he will doŽ on the Supreme Court. Cotropia illustrated his point by determining the dissent rates for two associate justices, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Sonia Sotomayor, who previously had served on circuit courts. Alito had a 1.6% dissent rate on the 3rd Circuit Court and Sotomayor had a 0.69% dissent rate on the 2nd Circuit. Nevertheless, the judges are on opposite extremes of the court. By one measure, Sotomayor is the most liberal of the Supreme Court justices and Alito is the second-most conservative. Throughout the contentious con“rmation process, the White House and Republicans described Gorsuch as mainstream,Ž while Democrats criticized him as extreme.Ž Those are subjective terms, and each side is entitled to its opinion. What caught our attention is Republicans repeated use of the same statistics as evidence of Gorsuchs mainstreamŽ judicial record. When the Senate Judiciary Committee approvedGorsuchs nomination on April 3 along party lines, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley saidthat Gorsuchs record on the federal appeals court falls well within the mainstream.Ž Grassley, April 3: His record on the bench has proved that the judge falls well within the mainstream. Hes participated in 2,700 cases. Hes voted with a majority 99% of the time, and roughly 97% of those 2,700 cases were decided unanimously.Ž In a blog itemposted April 4, the White House used the same statistics to describe Gorsuch as the ultimate example of a mainstream judge.Ž Two days earlier on Fox News Sunday Senate Majority Leader McConnell gavea truncated version of the GOP talking point: In the majority, 99% of the time. Ninety-seven percent of his rulings were unanimous.Ž Gorsuch himself repeatedly cited the statistics during his con“rmation hearings. On March 22, Gorsuch describedthe 10th Circuit Courts low dissent rate as an amazing accomplishment.Ž But such high rates of unanimity are not unusual for the federal courts of appeals, as the Congressional Research Service explained in its reporton Gorsuchs record. CRS, March 8: Federal appellate judges are bound by Supreme Court and circuit precedent and, therefore, are not normally in a position to espouse freely their views on particular legal issues in the context of their judicial opinions. Moreover, unlike the Supreme Court, which enjoys almost complete discretion in selecting its cases, the federal courts of appeals are required to hear many cases as a matter of law. As a result, the appellate courts consider many routine cases in which the legal rules are uncontroverted. Perhaps indicative of the nature of federal appellate work, the vast majority of cases decided by three-judge panels of federal courts of appeals are decided without dissent.Ž We take no position on Gorsuchsappointment or whether he is mainstreamŽ or not. What we have found, though, is that a circuit court judges overall dissent rate isnt useful in determining a nominees ideology. J.

Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, who said the attack left Sweden in a state of shock, urged citizens to get through this.Ž On Saturday, he walked through the streets of the capital, chatting with residents. Swedish ”ags ”ew at half-sta throughout the city. Visiting the site of the attack at the upscale Ahlens department store, Swedens Crown Princess Victoria laid roses on the ground and wiped away a tear We must show a huge force, we must go against this,Ž she told reporters. The attacker commandeered a beer truck and drove at high Swedish authorities con“rmed Saturday that the suspect in a deadly truck attack in central Stockholm is a 39-year-old native of Uzbekistan who appeared in past intelligence “les. Authorities also told reporters they are trying to determine whether a technical deviceŽ found in the drivers seat of the stolen vehicle is an explosive. National Police commissioner Dan Eliassonsaid investigators were still trying to determine if there were accomplices in the attack, but they are convinced that the suspect in custody is the man who drove the vehicle that plowed into bystanders on a pedestrian walkway Friday before slamming into a department store, killing at least four people and injuring 15 others. There is nothing to indicate that weve got the wrong man,Ž Eliasson said. On the contrary, the suspicions have strengthened.Ž Prosecutors said the suspect was being held for terrorist offenses by murderŽ and would face acustody hearing before midday speed for some 500 yards down the Drottninggatan „ a main pedestrian street in the city center „hitting bystanders before slamming the vehicle into the department store. At that point, the vehicle caught “re and the driver ”ed. People were screaming and running in all directions,Ž said Brandon Sekitto, who was in his car nearby. (The truck) drove straight into the Ahlens entrance.Ž I saw the driver, a man in black who was light around the face,Ž Sekitto told the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter Some women were screaming, Run! Run!Ž The suspect was arrested several hours later, after making his way around the city by metro, bus and on foot. Wearing a hooded green jacket, he was shown in a police photo on an escalator at a nearby subway stop. The Aftonbladet newspaper reportedat least two witnesses recognized the suspect from the police photo and alerted authorities. One witness followed him by car until police arrived. Bystanders described the man, who had pieces of glass on his clothing, as nervous and erratic. Dagens Nyheter said the suspect sought asylum in Sweden several years ago but did not have acriminal record. It quoted a woman who owned the apartment where the suspect is registered as saying he is a construction worker with a wife and children still living abroad. She described him as showing no signs of extreme religious fanaticism. Anders Thornberg, head of Swedens domestic intelligence agency, acknowledged the suspect appeared in our intelligence gatherings in the past.Ž Prosecutor Hans Ihrman told reporters the suspect had not yet spoken to authorities, and Ihrman could not con“rm whether he was a legal resident of Sweden. He said investigators were trying to pro“le him and his behaviorŽ and were not yet ready to identify him publicly. Eliasson, the police commissioner, described the suspect as a more marginal character.Ž He said authorities were screening his phone calls, social media activity, contacts and links to try to “nd how the attack unfolded and whether he was acting alone. We do not know whether there are other persons involved in this act or not,Ž he said, but we are not excluding that.Ž Contributing: Associated PressStockholm suspect in intel “lesAuthorities have yet to determine if Uzbek native acted alone Doug Stanglin@dstanglin USA TODAY MICHAEL CAMPANELLA,GETTY IMAGESApasser-by stops Saturday at the scene of Fridays truck attack in downtown Stockholm that killed four people and injured 15 others. SWEDISH POLICE Police had released photos of the suspect, who was caught hours after the incident.WASHINGTONTo hit Bashar Assads military in Syria where it hurts, bomb his helicopters, supply depots and anti-aircraft missile defenses. Thats the assessment of Scott Murray, who from 2013 to 2015 was in charge of intelligence for the Air Force in the Middle East. And strike them with bombs, big ones, not with Tomahawk cruise missiles, if you want to leave a mark. The problem with Tomahawks is their small warhead-explosive yield,Ž said Murray, a retired colonel and career intelligence ocer. Theyre precise but lack a bigger bang for the eorts required to get them to a target successfully. Manned aircraft with 2,000pound JDAMs (joint direct attack munitions, or so-called smart bombs) would have laid waste to those aircraft bunkers were seeing on footage. Theres a hole in the top and damage inside but they can be repaired.Ž As always, there is a trade-o: Apilot has to ”y a smart bomb through Syrias air defenses to reach the target. Or those air defense systems need to be degraded or destroyed “rst, dangerous but doable for U.S. forces. Either way, its a more intense mission, one fraught with more risk. Asenior military ocer acknowledged as much Friday. The land-attack Tomahawk missiles, launched from the USS Porter and Ross in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, represented the lowest-risk option for military punishment that President Trump had to choose from. Manned ”ights were considered too risky, the ocer said, adding that the military did not want to go into harms way. The ocer spoke on condition of anonymity, because the ocials were not authorized to speak publicly. The Tomahawks were not powerful enough to puncture the runway, a fact that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson referred to on Friday. Instead, the missiles targeted fueling facilities, hangars, planes and other support infrastructure. Those were the targets,Ž he said. The fact that planes are landing in and out of there, theyre not refueling, and theyre not able to initiate any activity.Ž Dealing Assads forces a more powerful blow will require riskier missions that include hitting aircraft that have been dropping lethal barrel bombsŽ on civilian targets, Murray said.Analyst says smart bombs best weapon against Assad Option Trump picked is less risky but less eective Tom Vanden Brook@tvandenbrook USA TODAY APSyrian President Bashar Assad has led abrutal war against rebels in his country.Manned aircraft with 2,000pound JDAMs would have laid waste to those aircraft bunkers.ŽScott Murray retired Air Force colonel JALAWA, IRAQMore than two years after being liberated from Islamic State control„ and after begging Baghdad for help with roads, schools and power lines„ residents here began reconstructing their own city Luay Al-Balani, in her 30s, said people felt helpless after getting no response from the central government 150 miles away and “nding private companies too expensive. So, we depended on ourselves. We cleaned the city,Ž said Al-Balani, an administrative ocial at the Khanaqin District Council who coordinates aid. As Iraqi forces with help from the U.S.-led coalition continue “ghting to retake control of Mosul from the Islamic State, Jalawla residents said Iraqs government in Baghdad needs to plan better for life after the militants are gone. Jalawla has long been known as Little IraqŽ because its ethnic mix of Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen re”ects the population of the whole country. Most of the 85,000 citizens who ”ed the Islamic State between June and November 2014 have returned to acity thats slowly recovering from the terror groups occu p ation. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has said his “rst priority was defeating the Islamic State, but post-war reconstruction plans were also in place. The Iraqi government would concentrate in the next phase, after liberating Mosul from the terrorist group of the Islamic State, on helping to bring displaced people back to their homes and reconstructing the areas aected by the military campaigns,Ž al-Abadi said in February. Rebuilding after ousting the Islamic State militants is key to the countrys future and safety, said Matthew Schweitzer, a researcher at the Education for Peace in Iraq Center in Washington. Their war against the militants has wrought intense damage in cities across the country, and that liberation without reconstruction creates conditions for renewed instability,Ž Schweitzer said in a recent report. The government must also do more than it did before the Islamic State took large swaths of the country in 2014. Baghdad had ignored Jalawla for years before then, residents say. Iraqi ocials also mishandled reconstruction after the 2003 U.S. invasion. The central government has not provided anything worth noting,Ž said Yacob Yousif Ali, 42, a member of the Khanaqin District Council that oversees Jalawla. Forty primary and secondary schools were destroyed „ some of them at the hand of contractors before the Islamic State overran the town,Ž Ali said. That was facilitated by corrupt state ocials who had stolen all the allocated money to rebuild them. The Islamic State terrorists bombed the remaining schools.Ž Now, children studying in a handful of Jalawla schools thank neighbors like Qusay Al-Lihebi more than the Iraqi government for the roof over their classroom. We launched voluntary campaigns to clean up some schools. Not all of them were destroyed and leveled,Ž said Al-Lihebi, 34. We cleaned some governmental institutions as well to resume their providing services to the citizens.Ž Proud Jalawlans also touted the reopening of the citys sports arena, and stressed that the central government didnt have a hand in the accomplishment. We started a fund to gather the money from our own (government) salaries to buy cleaning materials and start lifting the rubble in the coliseum,Ž said Najim Abed Awwad, 40, who runs the arena. We managed to restore the electric power and the water supply.

MONE Y The auto industry has always had a knack for rolling out new models at just the wrong time. Some fear thats about to happen again. When gas prices spiked past $4 a gallon in 2008, automakers realized they lacked smaller, more ecient cars like hybrids that embraced gas-saving technologies. In the past few years, automakers bet that midsize and compact sedans would reign supreme only to discover that buyers really wanted big SUVs again as gas prices fell. This week, a bevy of these fuelthirsty, big-ticket vehicles will roll into the New York Auto Show along with a few hot performance cars. (The shows media days are A pril 12-13, and it opens to the public April 14.) Models will include a new, fullsize Lincoln Navigator, a new version of the Range Rover and a 707-horsepower version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The country has gone SUV crazy,Ž says Ian Beavis, chief strategy ocer for auto industry consulting “rm AMCI. Youve gone from the sublime to the ridiculous.Ž But the sport utilities appear as the industry enters a crossroads after a year of record sales. On one hand, there are plenty of good signs for automakers: The economy continues to grow, consumer con“dence is high, unemployment is low, the stock market has reached record levels and credit „ auto loans in particular „is still easy to come by. On the other, some concerns are emerging. The number of unsold new cars is building to worrisome levels. Edmunds.com says last months backlog hit its highest level since 2004. With big dominating the market now, the plug-in, hybrid and very small cars that have held the spotlight at the auto show over much of the past decade are being pushed aside. Factors like a cars styling and expected reliability are now tops among buyers, pushing aside fuel economy, says Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive for consultants J.D. Power. Many of the models being shown this week in New York will fall at the high end of the price spectrum, exactly the kind of cars that buyers may shun if the economy takes a dive. Here are some of the models and trends to watch at the show:THE ULTI M ATE M USCLE CARMost people associate muscle cars with the Pontiac GTOs, Plymouth Hemi Cudas and Ford Mustang Boss 302s of the 1960s and early 1970s. But some of the biggest increases in horsepower have come over the past two decades, the result of evolving engine technology. Fiat Chrysler is taking it to new heights. The automaker shook up the industry with its 707-horsepower Hellcat V-8 for Dodge Challenger and Charger. Now comes a new, more powerful engine that will go in a Challenger. It becomes the Dodge Challenger Demon. The horsepower rating of this new monster engine has yet to be announced.SUVS GET M ORE DELUXELand Rover continues to build on its Range Rover line of plush, goanywhere SUVs by introducing a smaller version it calls the Velar. The name derives from the Latin word velare,Ž which means to veil or cover.Ž Lincoln will show the Navigator „ a massive luxury SUV thats likely to see a new wave of interest after a surge of sales among the largest family haulers. Sales of luxury SUVs were up 5.6% in the “rst three months of the year, while overall vehicle sales were down 1.5%, Autodata reports. Volvo is trying to build on the success of its full-size vehicles with the new version of the smaller XC60 SUV. General Motors Buick is trying to cash in as well by introducing a fancier version of its Enclave SUV, called the Avenir, which adds even more features and luxury touches.SEDA N S: RE M E M BER THOSE?The once-dominant midsize sedan is no longer getting as much attention.

The social media giant “led a federal lawsuit Thursdayagainst the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security secretary John Kelly, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and acting CBP commissioner Kevin McAleenan.

While consumers love the appbased convenience of both services, investors and analysts continue to puzzle over “nancial viability of the ride-hailing business model, with some suggesting that the only way to pro“tability is to remove the most expensive part of the equation: the driver.SANFRANCISCOAnyone reading the tea leaves on how the Trump administration may treat ride-hailing and self-driving car companies was just handed a bit more tea. The White House said late Thursday that President Trump would nominate Lyft general manager Derek Kan to join the Department of Transportation as undersecretary of transportation for policy. Plans for the appointment were initially reported by Reuters. Between 2006 and 2010, Kan was an adviser to Sen.Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the current majority leader and the husband of Elaine Chao, the Trump administrations transportation secretary. Kan also has been on Amtraks board for the past year. Derek is a valued member of our team and we wish him luck in whatever path he chooses,Ž said Lyft spokesperson Adrian Durbin. The administrations new DOT leaders have yet to put forward any major policy statements since taking the helm, remaining silent so far on outgoing DOT secretary Anthony Foxxs September guidelines that would require self-driving car companies to report details of their progress to federal ocials. Some automakers have complained the rules would be onerous and slow down development. Chao, who was Labor secretary under President George W. Bush, has made commentssupportive of ride-hailing companies such as Lyft and Uber, praising them for helping create jobs and solving transportation problems. But her views on the coming age of autonomous cars are largely unknown. Dozens of companies, including major automakers and cutting-edge tech companies, are racingto develop autonomous cars for ride-hailing ”eets, with most setting a 2021 deadline for production.

Page 6 www.yoursun.com The Sun / Sunday, April 9, 2017 In just a decade, Net”ix has grown from a video service with seven million U.S. subscribers to one that reaches 93 million people worldwide. Its growth and ability to break into well-established industries „ “rst video rental, now television and “lm … is a rare accomplishment. In my book Portals: A Treatise on InternetDistributed Television,Ž I explore how Net”ix and other internet-distributed video services forced the existing television industry to radically change its practices. At the same time, many have struggled to understand Net”ixs strategy. With other services entering the video on-demand market, how has Net”ix continued to evolve and build its subscriber base?The seeds of niche TVWhen Net”ix “rst launched in the late 1990s, it distributed DVDs „ mainly “lms „ by mail. The convenience of the service disrupted the existing “lm rental industry and eventually led to its demise. Television, meanwhile, was experiencing a renaissance. Cable channels began running series with complex storylines „ such as The SopranosŽ and The ShieldŽ „ that were targeted at niche audiences. Because many of these channels earned revenue from both subscribers and advertisers, they could be successful even if these programs didnt reach a mass audience. Then, during the early 2000s, advances in compression technology „ coupled with more homes gaining access to high-speed internet services „ allowed large video “les to be easily streamed over the internet. These developments set the technological stage for Net”ix to evolve its business from DVDs by mail to a national video streaming service, which it launched in 2007. Soon, television series became an integral part of its business model. By the summer of 2016, television accounted for 70 percent of the services streaming.Different model, different strategyFor years, television was distributed by broadcast wave „ a revolutionary technology that sends a wireless signal over huge swaths of the country. But broadcasting technology can send only one message at a time to everyone in its range. Because video streaming services such as Net”ix (what I call portalsŽ) deliver programming on demandŽ via the internet, viewers can choose what and when to watch instead of watching whats on.Ž So where a traditional channels task is to develop a schedule, the key task of a portal is cultivating a library of programs. This leads to different business strategies that, in turn, lead to different programs. Broadcast networks and cable channels make money by selling audiences to advertisers. Net”ix (and many other portals, including Amazon Video and SeeSo) are subscriber-funded: Viewers pay a monthly fee for access to the library of content. Of course, HBO has also long relied on subscribers, which explains the distinctiveness of many HBO programs, despite its distribution by cable. (HBO launched the portal HBO Now in 2015 to better match its subscriber-funded revenue model with a technology that makes its library of programs available on demand.) To succeed, subscriber-funded services must offer enough programming that viewers “nd the service worthy of their monthly fee. Each show doesnt need a mass audience „ which is the measure of success for advertiser-funded television „ but the service does need to provide enough value that subscribers continue to pay. Many portals provide this value by offering a very speci“c type of programming. For example, to justify its monthly fee, WWE Network offers subscribers more access to wrestling matches and wrestling-related content than fans can watch anywhere else. Similarly, Noggin, a portal with programs for preschoolers, makes ad-free programming available for young children.Netflixs nooks and cranniesYet Netflix doesnt try to offer content geared to a single audience with a specific interest. Nor does it aim for a mass audience. So how does Netflix „ with its 93 million subscribers „ pull it off? Netflix has adopted what I call a conglomerated nicheŽ strategy: It develops programs for a handful of „ maybe a dozen „ different audience interests. These include complicated serial dramas (House of CardsŽ), action series (DaredevilŽ), horror series (Hemlock GroveŽ) and exclusive films starring a popular actor (Adam Sandler). This is possible only because internet distribution allows Netflix to serve those different audiences simultaneously and separately. Most Netflix subscribers might not even realize how many programs Netflix offers, since its subscribers usually arent exposed to programs that they probably wont be interested in. Netflix can also do this because internet distribution enables it to gather extensive data about its subscribers behavior, which it then uses to cultivate its library and provide users with likely desired content. Netflix is notoriously tight-lipped about what data it collects, but its ability to gather viewing data from a global audience has enabled the service to recognize micro-genres and then patterns of viewer interest. If you were to ask different Netflix subscribers about the services brand, youd likely get different responses. There is no one Netflix; rather, think of it as an expansive library with many small nooks and rooms. Most subscribers never wander floor to floor. Instead, they stay in the corner that matches their tastes. Some other portals, such as Amazon Video, follow a similar strategy. But television and film streaming are a small part of the companys overall enterprise. Hulu is both similar and different. Since Hulu is a joint venture of the companies that own Disney, NBC and Fox, its library is mostly filled with shows owned by these companies.A quest for global dominationSome in the U.S. have doubted whether Netflix can maintain its market dominance based on a seeming lack of innovation and erosion of its U.S. library in recent years. But Netflix hasnt grown complacent. With 49 million American subscribers „ which makes it available in 43 percent of U.S. households „ the U.S. market has less opportunity for growth. For this reason, Netflix has aggressively pivoted to stake claim as the first global television network. This doesnt mean Net”ix is the same everywhere. Right now its library varies considerably because the norms of international television trade „ built before internet distribution „ required that distributors license shows to individual countries or regions. Net”ix increasingly seeks global rights to the series it develops, which will make future additions to its library available to subscribers around the world. Here, too, Netflix isnt simply distributing shows produced for U.S. audiences. It also develops original series for subscribers in non-U.S. markets that are also available to U.S. subscribers „ for example, Marseille,Ž a French political drama; or Hibana,Ž a Japanese drama about the countrys competitive comedy scene. As the number of subscribers from other countries has grown, so, too, has Netflixs library of original content. No television distributor has ever been able to reach a truly global audience.

WASHINGTON (AP) „ Local news reports say a musician was booted off an American Airlines flight after the crew said his cello posed a safety risk. John Kaboff says he was removed from his flight Tuesday from Reagan National Airport to Chicago OHare International Airport after the crew said his cello touched the floor and couldnt be strapped into the extra seat he brought for it. He says he asked for a seatbelt extension to better cradle the $100,000 cello, but was denied. The 46-year-old Kaboff of Vienna, Virginia says ground personnel acknowledged the error and booked him on the next American Airlines flight to Chicago. The reports say American Airlines apologized to Kaboff for the inconvenienceŽ that he experienced.ODD NEWS Airlines changes its tune after banning, then allowing celloTHE WIRE CHALKSMADEASALUTES AERIALABOLLACLOSELY SWIMMERWITHARCHEDNECK SNAPPEAGAINFULERNIE APPEARDEWIDS MOSTLYARIDREDSPHERE SANAAALSACESIDE SKORDOTNUBSMIASMA AIDTOLOCATEASTREET SETRATEAAHAMYAYN OLEANLGBTMETASTLEO FIRILEAREZITHERS THREEROLLEDINTOONE CUERVODORAUNCSAGA SANGNAGSATMINED OTHERWISEKNOWNASYES ASHDARATRIAL STEERHEAVETOFRISSON WINGEDANDSTINGINGPEST ACRONYMDONNIEINCASH SHYNESSPAGANASANASANSWERS to crosswordTALLAHASSEE „ Although state college leaders are unhappy with a Senate budget that would boost university funding but slash support for the colleges, they are pleased with a Senate effort to expand aid for students who come from lower-income families. The budget plan (SB 2500), which the Senate will take up Wednesday, would increase the states largest need-based aid program, known as Florida student assistance grants, by 81 percent, or $121 million, in the academic year that begins July 1. Senators also want to double the states matching grants for “rst generationŽ college and university students to a total of $10.6 million. The increase in need-based aid, which would also help the university system, is important to the 28 state colleges because their students will not bene“t much from the Senates plan to expand the Bright Futures meritscholarship program. The Senate budget would cover full tuition and fees for the top Bright Futures students, known as academic scholars,Ž as well as provide $300 for textbooks for two semesters and cover summer tuition. But out of 46,000 Bright Futures academic scholars projected in the next academic year, only 5 percent of them will be enrolled at a state college. In contrast, state college students represented 70 percent of the 105,000 students in a public college or university who received a need-based Florida student assistance grant in the 2015-16 academic year, according to the state Department of Education. Systemwide, state college students received an average grant of $903, ranging from $1,651 at Chipola College to $499 at Broward College. Broward had the most students receiving grants, with 17,000, followed by Miami Dade College with 16,700. The Senate budget would expand Florida student assistance grants for public universities and colleges from the current year $114.6 million to $208 million. The grants also go for private universities and other post-secondary programs. Were all over the Senate right now because were concerned,Ž said David Armstrong, president of Broward College, referring to the Senates proposed budget cuts, including a $55 million reduction in remedial education funding for the colleges. But its a different story with the Senates plan to expand need-based aid. We have been neglecting the need-based (programs),Ž said Armstrong, who oversees the second-largest state college in the system, with some 66,000 students. Kudos to the Senate. I applaud them for addressing the need-based issues.Ž The Senate and House are expected next week to approve their budget bills, setting the stage for negotiations on a “nal spending plan for the “scal year that starts July 1. The House budget plan (HB 5001) would lead to a 5 percent increase in the overall Florida student assistance grants program. State colleges would also bene“t from the expansion of another needs-based aid program in the Senate budget, which would double the state match for students who qualify as “rst generationŽ college or university students. The Senate bill would double the state funding to $10.6 million, meaning for every dollar a college or university raises for the program, it wouldl be matched by $2 from the state. State colleges should receive about $2.65 million in matching funds from the program, re”ecting about quarter of the funds, a proportion that is consistent with what they received in the 2015-16 academic year. The House budget does not expand the “rst-generation matching program, nor does it provide any expansion of the Bright Futures merit scholarships. Ava Parker, president of Palm Beach State College, said less than 2 percent of the 46,000 students on her campus have Bright Futures scholarships and she appreciates the Senates effort to boost needbased aid programs. The Senate has a real appreciation for (the fact) that we have students who have economic challenges and theyre trying to “nd ways to assist with that,Ž Parker said. I think the Senate is really focused on what things can we do to ensure that folks graduate faster and they understand that the college system is a piece of that puzzle.Ž Having said that, though, Parker said she remains concerned about what the college leaders perceive as an imbalance in the Senate higher-education budget that would increase university funding while cutting state colleges. She said the cuts would make it harder for colleges to achieve the Legislatures goal of graduating more students on time. Its a greater understanding that if you dont help us also participate in that (funding) equation (with the universities), its going to be more dif“cult for you to reach that goal,Ž Parker said. Also, a gap remains for students who rely on need-based aid to attend state colleges or universities. Neither the Florida student assistance grant program nor the “rst-generation grants can be used during the summer semester. It is further complicated by the fact that lower-income students tend to rely on a combination of scholarships and grants to pay for their educations. One of the key “nancial supports is the federal Pell grant program, which since 2011 also has not covered the summer semester. Over the last year, there has been debate in Congress about making Pell grants available yearround, but that has not become a reality. Another challenge for “nancial aid looms in the House, where leaders have raised objections to colleges and universities using public employees in their private foundations, which raise money for the schools. Armstrong, Parker and other college presidents said limitations on the foundations could hurt their ability to raise money, which at the colleges is primarily used to fund scholarships.Low income students could get more aidBy LLOYD DUNKELBERGERTHE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA HEADLINES FROM AROUND THE STATESix arrested after fight at Jacksonville protest on Syria One person dead after shooting near mall in South Florida Dad charged after kid crashes car into canal, baby inside Man gets 30 years for fatal crash Man found dead after mobile home fire Large South Florida brush fire 60 percent contained Final payout begins from Florida nightclub victims fundJACKSONVILLE (AP) „ Six people have been arrested and one of them was hospitalized at a park in Jacksonville where they were protesting the U.S. military action in Syria.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Martin Martinez Jr., let his son drive the car while a 2-year-old was also in the car. The father was not in the car.

The Pensacola News Journal reports that 33-year-old Darrel Earl Daise was sentenced Thursday after being convicted of manslaughter and other charges. Authorities say Daise was traveling 70 miles per hour in a 25-mile-perhour area in February 2016 when he ran a red light and crashed into two other vehicles.

A news release says that on Friday the fund began distributing nearly $2.1 million in additional donations that had been received since the initial payments last fall. The funds board approved the additional payments last month. In total, OneOrlando will disburse nearly $31.7 million on 308 claims. The city of Orlando created the fund to help the families of 49 people killed and patrons who were inside the club when Omar Mateen opened fire June 12. Mateen was killed by police.

The fire started in southwest Broward County on Wednesday and had grown to more than 5,500 acres by Saturday morning. The flames prompted the evacuation of a fish camp on the edge of the Everglades. The camp owners used an airboat to pack down a 60to 80-foot swath of vegetation to keep the flames from getting closer. Firefighters hosed down nearby mobile homes and land north of the camp to keep the fire away. A spokesman for the Florida Forest Service told the Sun Sentinel the “re had spread between 2 and 4 miles from north to south. Dry weather, a shift in wind direction and humidity levels allowed the “re to grow. Everglades Holiday Park was forced to close earlier this week because of the fire. cars were parked outside the outdoor mall, which was ringed with crime scene tape. The mall appears to have been evacuated; patrons were gathered outside. The Miami Herald and other news outlets reported the shooting was at a gym at the mall. The newspaper said about 100 people were eating at Yard Houses outdoor patio when the shooting began. General manager Tim Hartog said some patrons ran inside and hid under tables while others rushed out the back door before police ordered the restaurant and nearby shops on lockdown. say they found a man dead following a South Florida mobile home “re. The Sun Sentinel reports that the blaze occurred Friday morning at the Royal Palm mobile home park in Hallandale Beach. Fire Rescue Division Chief Lori Williams says “re“ghters had the “re out about a half-hour after they arrived and found an elderly man inside. Of“cials didnt immediately release the mans name. An autopsy will determine the cause of death. The cause of the “re was being investigated.

A year later, during World War I, I was building flying boatsŽ for the U.S. Navy. That led to more offerings for the military. In the 1920s, I expanded into airmail services and also bought companies such as Sikorsky and Pratt and Whitney. Soon after, antitrust laws made me break up. Im a commercial and military aerospace giant and have built spacecraft for NASA, too. My order backlog features thousands of airplanes, and my market value tops $100 billion. Who am I?Think you know the answer? Well announce it in next weeks edition. If you invest in bond mutual funds, though, as many do, results can vary. In 2013, for example, interest rates moved up and the stock market surged more than 30 percent, but bonds generally lost value. Rising rates in 1994 also led to a bad bond year „ and a lackluster year for stocks, too. Still, bond funds do have advantages. They offer diversification and the potential for capital appreciation, and they let you invest small amounts in bonds. If, above all, you want to preserve your principal, be wary of bond funds and consider individual bonds instead. Its easy to invest in Treasury securities, including the inflation-indexed I Bond. Many brokerages offer government and other bonds, and you can buy government bonds at treasurydirect.gov too, commission-free. Consider shortor intermediateterm bonds or bond funds. Longterm bonds can be more volatile, with any extra yield not worth the risk. Understand that the lower the risk, such as with government bonds, the lower the return. The highest rates are offered by risky junk bonds.

Four films (Star Wars: The Force Awakens,Ž Captain America: Civil War,Ž ZootopiaŽ and Finding DoryŽ) crossed $1 billion in global receipts, with Jungle BookŽ falling just short of that. Each of its major studios „ Disney Pictures, Marvel, Disney Animation, Lucasfilm and Pixar „ helped Disney rake in more than $7.5 billion in total box-office receipts. Thats how Disney overcame weakness in its core media business and posted fiscal 2016 earnings up 12 percent over year-ago levels and revenue up 6 percent. It was the sixth straight year that Disneys deep portfolio of global brands has powered record operating results. Still, the company faces challenges, such as falling subscriber counts at ESPN, Disney Channel and its other cable properties, and Disneys ABC has been losing viewers to streaming services. Domestic theme park attendance has also declined in recent quarters. On the other hand, Disney World is getting an AvatarŽ-themed expansion, and Star Wars Land will open at both Disneyland and Disneys Hollywood Studios in 2019. The eighth installment of the Star WarsŽ franchise hits screens in December, and millions have been visiting Chinas new Shanghai Disneyland. Disney offers patient believers a growing dividend that recently yielded 1.4 percent. (The Motley Fool owns shares of and has recommended Walt Disney.) Ask the Fool My Dumbest InvestmentA Bad GradeMy dumbest mistake was buying a gold coin that was supposedly graded 63. I didnt understand at the time that there are different grades „ and a lot of ways to be taken advantage of in gold investments. Turns out my investmentŽ may really be a 55, making it worth a lot less than I paid for it. I still own it. Ill let the kids inherit it, along with the lesson not to invest in something you dont know enough about. „ T.B., online The Fool Responds: Gold is a tricky kind of investment. For starters, understand that although many people think of it as a safe financial refuge, especially in uncertain markets, its quite volatile. An ounce recently cost about $1,245, but thats significantly lower than levels a few years ago. Gold closed at nearly $600 per ounce in 1980, and then didnt close above that until 2006. In many years, gold is not your best investment choice. According to economist Jeremy Siegel, between 1802 and 2012, gold averaged an inflation-adjusted annual return of just 0.7 percent, versus 6.6 percent for stocks and 3.6 percent for bonds. Still, if you want some of your overall portfolio in gold, remember that not only can you buy the physical metal, you can also invest in the stock of gold mining and production companies, and in mutual funds and ETFs that are invested in the metal and/or gold companies.

Dividend DetectiveQHow can I tell whether a company pays a dividend, and how big it is? „ C.B., Muskegon, MichiganAYou can always just call it and ask „ start with the Investor Relations department. Its also easy to look it up online or in newspaper stock listings. Instead of the dividend itself, many stock listings include the dividend yield, which is the percentage of the current stock price being paid out annually in dividends. If theres a yield, it means theres a dividend.To figure out the dividend from the yield, multiply the yield by the stock price. Imagine that Whoa Nellie Brake Co. (ticker: HALTT) is trading at $80 per share with a yield of 2 percent (which is 0.02). Multiply 0.02 by 80, and youll get 1.60, meaning that the company is currently paying out $1.60 each year in dividends per share. (Companies often pay dividends quarterly, so this would be $0.40 per quarter.)

Does saving hurt it? „ R.D., Saratoga, New YorkASpending does boost the economy, as the demand for products and services increases, helping businesses grow and prosper. The economy can also benefit from increased national savings, though, because more money in banks means more money is available to be loaned out to buy homes, cars and educations. Companies can borrow, too, to grow their businesses. So go ahead and save „ for retirement and other financial goals.

Still, investing in bonds for income can be smart „ especially when were in or near retirement. Learn more about them first. For starters, know that interest rates, which have long been near record lows, have begun inching up. Thats not good news for bonds, as theres typically an inverse relationship between bond prices and yields. If interest rates rise, the prices of existing bonds drop, and vice versa. Why? Imagine owning a bond yielding 3.5 percent. Then rates rise, and a new bond with the same terms yields 4.0 percent. If you want to sell your now-less-attractive bond, youll have to offer a discount to compensate for the lower yield. This isnt necessarily a problem for investors in individual bonds. As long as you hold the bonds until maturity, the issuer should return your entire principal.  2017 THE MOTLEY FOOL/DIST.

The two chambers have approved different versions of a proposal (SB 128) intended to shift a key burden of proof in stand your groundŽ cases from defendants to prosecutors in pre-trial hearings. As the bill returns to the Senate after the House approved its version this week, House and Senate leaders are maintaining support for their different positions. The House wants to require prosecutors in stand your groundŽ cases to overcome the asserted immunity sought by defendants through clear and convincing evidence.Ž The Senate, which rejected the clear and convincing evidenceŽ language earlier this session, has set a higher standard known as beyond a reasonable doubt.Ž Ive said from the beginning, if the government wants to convict you of a serious crime and send you to prison, they should have the burden of proof at every stage of the proceeding beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt,Ž Senate President Joe Negron, R-Stuart, told reporters on Thursday. Its the highest legal standard in the world. Its served us well. And in order for the government to prevail in the underlying criminal case theyre going to have to prove beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt. So I prefer the Senates higher legal standard.Ž When asked if the House language could kill the bill, Negron, an attorney, replied, Its only week “ve (of the legislative session). I assume theyll send the bill back to us, and it will be up to the senators on what they want to do. My preference would be that we stand on the beyonda-reasonable-doubt criminal standard.Ž The 60-day regular session is scheduled to end May 5. The overall proposal, backed by groups such as the National Ri”e Association and the Florida Public Defender Association, stems from a Florida Supreme Court ruling in 2015 that said defendants have the burden of proof to show they should be shielded from prosecution under the stand your groundŽ law. House sponsor Bobby Payne, R-Palatka, told reporters Thursday the clear-and-convincingevidence threshold was a reasonable and fair place to landŽ after hearing from numerous groups regarding how the 2005 law should be interpreted. We need to consider the opportunity for encouraging victims to come forward in those particular situations,Ž Payne replied when asked why he supported the clear and convincingŽ language. On Wednesday, before the House voted along party lines to support the bill, Rep. James Grant, a Tampa Republican who is an attorney, also defended the House clear-and-convincingevidence approach. If the government cannot beat the lesser, easier burden in an immunity trial, then they darned sure cant meet beyond and to the exclusion of each and every reasonable doubt when they ask for a conviction,Ž Grant said. The Senate voted 23-15 to approve its version of the bill on March 15. The stand your groundŽ law has long been controversial. It says people can use deadly force and do not have a duty to retreat if they think it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm. In its 2015 ruling, the Supreme Court majority opinion „ written by Justice Barbara Pariente „ said immunity in the stand your groundŽ law is not a blanket immunity, but rather, requires the establishment that the use of force was legally justi“ed.Ž But a dissenting opinion, written by Justice Charles Canady and now highlighted by Republican lawmakers, countered that the majority ruling substantially curtails the bene“t of the immunity from trial conferred by the Legislature under the Stand Your Ground law.Ž The factual question raised by the assertion of Stand Your Ground immunity in a pretrial evidentiary hearing is the same as the factual question raised by a Stand Your Ground defense presented at trial: whether the evidence establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants conduct was not justi“ed under the governing statutory standard,Ž Canady wrote.House, Senate differ on Stand your ground changeBy JIM TURNERTHE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA Dear Mr. Berko: Im looking to invest $50,000 in four high-income stocks, and Im willing to speculate to get 10 percent annually. My stockbroker recommends AllianceBernstein, Waddell & Reed, Duff & Phelps Select Energy, Apollo Investment and BlackRock Capital Investment. Wed appreciate your thoughts on these “ve stocks. We “gure that your recommendations might limit any potential loss. „ KL, Joliet, Ill. Dear KL: Youre giving me too much credit, though Im mindful that losing money is like stepping on a snake. You must be careful out there. Too many investors are seeking high yields, and too many brokers are taking too many chances betting on borderline stocks. AllianceBernsteins (AB$22) $2.68 dividend yields 11.7 percent. AB, a global investment management “rm, provides research, investment management and related services to institutions, trust departments, private wealth accounts and brokerages. ABs services span numerous investment disciplines, including customized target date funds, hedge funds, taxable and tax-exempt strategies, global and regional portfolio strategies, dynamic asset allocation, private equity multi-asset allocation, enhanced index solutions, and more. Jeez! Last years $3 billion in revenues should improve to $3.15 billion this year, and earnings should come in at $1.95 a share. Opinions on Wall Street vary widely, from avoidŽ by Market Edge to holdŽ by Thomson Reuters to outperformŽ by S&P Capital IQ. I agree with S&P. Waddell & Reed Financials (WDR-$16.76) $1.84 dividend yields 10.9 percent. WDR is a brokerage “rm that provides investment management services to the public, product underwriting, mutual fund administration, open-end and closed-end fund distribution, life insurance and annuity products. Revenues for 2017 are expected to come in at $1.02 billion, lower than 2016s revenues of $1.3 billion, which were lower than 2015s revenues of $1.5 billion and lower than 2014s revenues of $1.6 billion. But WDR has an impressive balance sheet, with $900 million in cash, $10.79 in cash per share and a book value of $10.35. WDR expects to earn $1.53 a share this year, and the Street believes that its substantial cash position will enable it to maintain the dividend. Bank of America, UBS and Ned Davis Research rate WDR neutralŽ and suggest the dividend will be maintained from cash ”ow. But I say forgetaboutit. Meanwhile, WDRs ”agship mutual funds (Ivy Funds) performance stinks. Duff & Phelps Select Energy MLP Fund (DSE$7.80) pays an 88-cent dividend yielding 11.2 percent. DSE invests at least 80 percent of its assets in energy master limited partnerships. Energy Transfer Partners, Enbridge Energy Partners, Sunoco, Targa Resources, AmeriGas, Genesis Energy and Williams Partners are some of the top MLPs in DSES $280 million portfolio, which trades at a 3.1 percent discount to net asset value. About 30 percent of this portfolio is leveraged. The dividend was reduced from 32 cents a quarter in 2014 to todays 22 cents a quarter, and the share price has ranged between $4.95 and $8.53 in the past 52 weeks. Some suggest the dividend is secure, though I think it could drop to 18 cents a quarter. That would be a 9.2 percent yield. DSE is a de“nite maybe.Ž Apollo Investment Corp.s (AINV-$6.42) 70-cent dividend provides a 9 percent yield. AINV, with $3 billion in assets, is a business development company specializing in middle-market companies providing equity capital, mezzanine and senior secured loans, and subordinated and unsecured debt. AINV also invests in public companies that are thinly traded and acquires investments in the secondary market. AINV primarily invests between $20 million and $250 million in its portfolio companies. Market Edge has a buyŽ recommendation, and so do Value Line and S&P Capital IQ. The shares trade below their $7.10 book value, and the Street expects the dividend to be raised this year. I agree! BlackRock Capital Investment Corp.s (BKCC$7.20) 72-cent dividend yields 10 percent. This business development companys prime directive is to produce high current income and capital gains through its debt and equity investments. BKCC provides middle-market companies with “nancing solutions and generally invests between $10 million and $50 million in targeted companies. The dividend was reduced this year, and the consensus for 2017 is that revenues probably will decline as they did in 2016, 2015 and 2014. Some on the Street think BKCC will report a loss in 2017. BKCC doesnt uncork my wine bottle. Please address your “nancial questions to Malcolm Berko, P.O. Box 8303, Largo, FL 33775, or email him at mjberko@ yahoo.com.High yielders Malcolm Berko

By DOUG FERGUSONAssociated PressAUGUSTA, Ga. „ Justin Rose charged from behind on the back nine at Augusta National. Sergio Garcia received the kind of break that allowed him to wonder if maybe the golfing gods are finally on his side after all these years. They wound up tied for the lead Saturday on a tense afternoon that set the stage for a Masters finale still up for grabs. And that includes Jordan Spieth in the mix for the fourth straight year. Rose birdied five of his last seven holes, the last two from 20 feet on No. 17 and 12 feet on No. 18, for a 5-under 67 that gave him a share of the lead going into the final round for the first time in a major. He won the U.S. Open four years ago at Merion from behind. Garcia hung his head in the 13th fairway when his second shot disappeared off a bank toward the tributary of Raes Creek. Moments later, he realized the ball bounced softly enough off the side of the bank to stop halfway down. He chipped up to tap-in range, turning a potential bogey into a birdie.By STEPHEN HAWKINSAssociated PressFORT WORTH, Texas „ Clint Bowyer had long prepared to enjoy this season, knowing the opportunity waiting for him to be successful again in the NASCAR Cup Series. That certainly helped Bowyer get through the worst season in his career with a now-shuttered team. Last year is just last year. I think I was prepared to enjoy this year even last year,Ž said Bowyer, now driving the No. 14 Stewart-Haas car in the former seat of one of the teams owners. This is an opportunity that doesnt come along very often, whether it was my first opportunity in this sport or my last.Ž Bowyer will start third Sunday in Texas. His best qualifying effort since succeeding three-time Cup champion Tony Stewart comes after consecutive finishes in the top seven at Fontana and Martinsville. Bowyer is eighth in season points through six Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races. Last year with HScott Motorsports on a stopgap deal to keep racing, Bowyer was 27th in points and without a top-five finish. That was by far the worst of 11 full Cup seasons for the driver who began his career with Richard Childress Racing (2005-11) and then went to Michael Waltrip Racing (2012-15). Now hes teammates with former Cup champions Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch, and popular driver Danica Patrick.

Fortunately for the Seminoles, spring practices have shown that there are plenty of contenders to take his place. Jacques Patrick and Cam Akers come out of the spring showing that they have the inside track to fill the void left after Cook, who is the schools career rushing leader, declared for the NFL draft. Both put in solid efforts on Saturday as the Seminoles held their annual spring game. Patrick had the most carries (12) and averaged 5.3 yards per carry as he gained 64 yards. Akers was the leading rusher with 87 yards on 10 carries. Coach Jimbo Fisher said that he feels good about the group at the conclusion of 15 practices. I like the way we have run the ball. We had some guys break a couple,Ž Fisher said. Jacques has started games for us in the past and now Cam coming on like this. For the most part I feel confident about those guys.ŽCOLLEGE FOOTBALL: SeminolesPatrick, Akers emerge as top backs for FSUAP PHOTOFlorida State quarterback Deondre Francois (12) celebrates a touchdown run by Jacques Patrick (9) during the teams Garnet and Gold spring game Saturday in Tallahassee.

PETERSBURG „ Toronto reliever Casey Law rence made his major league debut and wound up walking home the winning run with two outs in the 11th inning, lifting the Tampa Bay Rays over the Blue Jays 3-2 Saturday night. Mallex Smith got on base five straight times and scored on Brad Millers walk to end it. Smith led off the Tampa Bay 11th with a double and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. After a pair of intentional walks loaded the bases, Lawrence (0-1) struck out Evan Longoria but then walked Miller. Erasmo Ramirez (1-0) got the win, pitching 1 ‡ shutout innings. Josh Donaldsons single with two outs in the eighth off Chris Archer gave the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead. Steven Souza Jr. tied it in the bottom half with a two-out single off reliever Joe Biagini. Troy Tulowitzki singled home Donaldson in the seventh. Archer was perfect with six strikeouts through four innings before Kendrys Morales led off the fifth with a sharp single. Archer, who beat the New York Yankees in the major league opener last weekend, has not won two straight starts within a season since June 2015. Aaron Sanchez gave up one run on four hits in seven innings in his first start of the season for Toronto. He was the AL ERA leader last year.

You dont put en ough emphasis on the impact a good teammate can have on you. Drivers capable of winning races and championships,Ž Bowyer said. I have two championship-winning drivers as teammates. Danica, everything she brings for our entire sport, let alone the company. This is the opportunity you are giddy about no matter where you are at in your career.Ž Harvick is the polesitter at the  -mile Texas track that earlier this year was completely repaved and reconfigured in Turns 1 and 2. Ford drivers took the top five spots in qualifying, with Ryan Blaney set to start on the front row with Harvick. Team Penske drivers Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski round out the top five behind Bowyer. Bowyer, the kind of big personality that is good for NASCAR, is now 37. His hasnt won since three victories in 2012, when he was the season runner-up to Brad Keselowski. Its definitely good to see him back,Ž said Martin Truex Jr., his former MWR teammate. I know what its like to have those tough years and try to battle through it. People kind of write you off, think you forget how to drive. Its cool to see him competitive again. ... Im sure its not the last we see of old Bowyer this year.Ž Mike Bugarewicz, a young no-nonsense guy who was Stewarts crew chief last season, is now in that same role with Bowyer. Stewart said that is the right crew chief for Bowyer, who is a lot like the former Cup champion in temperament and in how he expresses himself. I told (Bugarewicz), when he worked with me, if I start getting overboard on emotion, I said just let me vent, and tell me to get focused again and drive the car,Ž Stewart said. And thats what hes kind of doing with Clint, too. And it seems to work for him as well.Ž Bowyer said the hardest thing for him is trying to get a laugh out of his crew chief, or at least get some kind of a rise out of him. While Bowyer describes them as definitely polar oppositesŽ personality-wise, he said it has been a long time since he had a crew chief as dedicated as Bugarewicz. After talking so much in the offseason about how much he was looking forward to this season and getting started with Stewart-Haas, Bowyer said so far it has been everything he could have hoped for. Yeah, absolutely,Ž he said. I knew it would be a positive move.ŽX“ nity raceErik Jones skipped his high school graduation ceremony three years ago to run in a NASCAR truck race at Texas, where he was presented his actual diploma before the event. Two years ago, he went to Victory Lane at Texas Motor Speedway for the first time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. On Saturday, he won again at the 1  -mile track that has since been completely repaved and reconfigured in Turns 1 and 2. Yeah, its been a good track for me,Ž Jones said. The first time I came here, its funny, it really wasnt that good to me, but after that it just kind of clicked and I felt really good here ever since.Ž Jones led 112 of 200 laps for his seventh career Xfinity victory, four of them coming on 1  -mile tracks. Jones finished a halfsecond ahead of Ryan Blaney, another full-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver and the second-place qualifier for Sundays race. Blaney led 43 laps and went into his final pit stop still with the lead before Jones went back in front for good on lap 156. We passed him before the last pit stop and I thought our car was pretty decent right there,Ž Blaney said. We didnt come out with the lead and that hurt us. I think if we would have come out with the lead, I dont know if I could have held him off.Ž Only nine drivers finished on the lead lap. Kevin Harvick, the polesitter for Sundays Cup race, finished third more than 21 seconds off the lead, ahead of Austin Dillon and Cole Custer.

The walk to Arribas was one of three reliever Taylor Hawkins (0-1) allowed in the inning. Charlotte, which lost its third straight game against Bradenton to open the season, had tied the game at 6-6 with a run in the top of the inning. Hawkins came on to start the bottom of the ninth and promptly gave up a single to Logan HIll, who was then sacrificed to second. Jordan George drew the first walk from Hawkins before Casey Hughston struck out. Christian Kelly worked Hawkins for a walk to load the bases setting the stage for Arribas, who was 2-for-4 with a pair of runs batted in. Charlotte trailed 1-0 before scoring five runs in the third inning, three coming home on a home run from Jake Fraley, who finished 2-4. Dalton Kelly led the Stone Crabs with a 3-for-4 night that included a double and two RBI. The teams finish the four-game, two-city series today. Charlotte returns home on Monday to start a threegame series with Palm Beach.BASEBALL: Stone CrabsMarauders walk past Stone Crabs, 7-6 Associated PressWASHINGTON „ Hassan Whiteside scored 30 points and James Johnson hit a layup with 11 seconds left to give the Miami Heat a 106-103 victory over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night. Johnson beat Markieff Morris to the basket for the go-ahead basket, Kelly Oubre Jr. threw away the inbounds pass and Josh Richardson made two free throws to seal it as the Heat moved into a tie for eighth in the Eastern Conference. The Chicago Bulls, who lost to the Brooklyn Nets earlier, own the tiebreaker. The Wizards had no answer inside for Whiteside, who was 12 of 19 from the floor and grabbed 12 rebounds. His 30 points were two short of a career high.NETS 107, BULLS 106: Dwyane Wade returned but the Chicago Bulls sustained a potentially costly loss when the Brooklyn Nets beat them 107-106 on Saturday. Spencer Dinwiddie made four free throws in the “ nal 13.6 seconds for the Nets in their home “ nale. He scored 19 points, as did rookie Caris LeVert. Jimmy Butler scored 33 points for the Bulls, who came in tied for seventh in the Eastern Conference. Wade started and played 25 minutes, scoring 14 points. He had been expected to miss the remainder of the regular season when he sprained and fractured his right elbow on March 15. But the Bulls allowed 32 points in the fourth quarter, with Dinwiddie snapping a 103-all with two free throws with 13.6 seconds to play. Butler missed a jumper and Dinwiddie put it away with another pair with 2.4 to play. CELTICS 121, HORNETS 114: Isaiah Thomas scored 32 points, and the Boston Celtics remained in contention for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs with a victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

The Sun / Sunday, April 9, 2017 www.yoursun.com SP Page 3By MARK LONGAssociated PressGAINESVILLE „ Floridas quarterback situation has been mostly a mess since Tim Tebows college career ended seven years ago. Injuries, benchings, suspensions, transfers, the Gators have endured them all while witnessing firsthand how instability at the premier position can negatively affect points and public perception. Despite continued upheaval under center, Florida coach Jim McElwain managed to win the Southeastern Conferences watereddown East Division in back-to-back years. But his approval rating keeps sliding because of lopsided losses to rival Florida State and power Alabama in consecutive years that showcased his failure to fix a lackluster offense that was downright embarrassing during former coach Will Muschamps tenure. Quarterback woes havent been McElwains only issue, but they surely top the list. McElwain has used four starting quarterbacks in 27 games and likely will have another when his third season begins in September. Redshirt freshmen Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask are at the center of the latest competition, vying to become the programs 10th starting quarterback since Tebow left after the 2009 season. Franks worked solely with the first-team offense in Floridas annual spring game Friday night, completing 8 of 14 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown. Trask was 6-of-16 passing for 66 yards. McElwain said after the game that theres no doubtŽ Franks has pulled ahead, partly because of his athleticism. Hes kind of a sneaky athlete,Ž McElwain said. I thought that was something that kind of helped him.Ž Regardless of the rationale, the Gators need better play at the position. Treon Harris, Will Grier, Luke Del Rio and Austin Appleby all served as stop-gaps for McElwain, who is still looking for a long-term solution to his biggest problem. Del Rio opened last year as the starter, but spent more time on the sideline than the field because of knee and shoulder injuries. Harris (Tennessee State) and Grier (West Virginia) transferred, and Appleby is now trying to make it to the NFL. A college journeyman and the son of Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio, Luke Del Rio still could re-enter the competition this fall depending on how he recovers from surgery on both shoulders. Florida also could end up with Notre Dame transfer Malik Zaire, who has yet to pick a landing spot and expressed interest in playing for the Gators. McElwain would need the Southeastern Conference to change a rule penalizing its schools from accepting graduate transfers if previous ones didnt reach certain academic benchmarks at their new institutions. For now, though, Franks and Trask have the competition to themselves. Both have ideal size and plenty of arm talent. The 6-foot-6, 219-pound Franks has a penchant for deep balls, but needs to improve short and intermediate throws. The 6-foot4, 238-pound Trask is more accurate, but lacks experience since he was a backup in high school and worked in a spread system.COLLEGE FOOTBALL: GatorsAP PHOTOFlorida quarterback Feleipe Franks (13) th rows a pass during the teams spring game Friday in Gainesville. Franks pulls ahead in QB competition The 37-year-old Spaniard finished off his round by clenching his fist when a 7-foot par putt dropped into the cup for a 70. Garcia and Rose were at 6-under 210. They had a one-shot lead over Rickie Fowler, who made birdies on all four of the par 5s to offset a few mistakes in a round of 71. Perhaps the most daunting name at Augusta National was Spieth, who began this Masters with a quadruple-bogey 9 on the 15th hole of the opening round and was 10 shots out of the lead when he trudged off the course on Thursday. He pulled off a shot that would have made Arnold Palmer proud, a 4-iron off the pine straw and over the water on the 13th to 30 feet for a twoputt birdie. He nearly holed a wedge from the fairway on the 15th for another birdie and wound up with a 68. Spieth won the Masters two years ago and was runner-up last year after losing a five-shot lead on the back nine. The 23-year-old Texan had a two-shot lead with 11 holes to play in his debut in 2014 before Bubba Watson overtook him. Here he is again. Waking up and you have a chance to win your favorite tournament that youve dreamt of winning and competing in since you were a kid, and to be able to have your fourth opportunity now ... I didnt know going into my first one if I would have five chances in my life,Ž Spieth said. So its awesome.Ž Spieth was tied with Ryan Moore (69) and Charley Hoffman, who led for much of the day until he put his tee shot into the water on the par-3 16th and made double bogey. Hoffman battled for par on the last hole to stay just two shots behind. Only 10 players remained under par, all of them separated by five shots. Rory McIlroy has more work to do if he wants that green jacket to complete a career Grand Slam. McIlroy twice had to settle for pars despite being in ideal position on the par 5s on the back nine, and his 71 kept him from making up any ground. He was six shots behind. Phil Mickelson started out birdie-birdie before his round fell apart with a chunked wedge on No. 3 that led to double bogey. Mickelson shot 39 on the front and 74 for the round, leaving him in a tie for 21st and eight shots behind in his bid to become at age 46 the oldest Masters champion.MASTERSFrom Page 1By DOUG FERGUSONAssociated PressAUGUSTA, Ga. „ Rory McIlroy was in great position „ on the leaderboard, in the fairway, on the green „ to make a run in the Masters. He wound up going nowhere. McIlroy wasnt ready to give up hope on a green jacket to complete the career Grand Slam, though he left Augusta National on Saturday with a 1-under 71 that left him wondering how many opportunities he threw away as so many other players were cashing in. McIlroy was only six shots behind, but he had 10 players ahead of him „ Justin Rose and Sergio Garcia, Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth, enough of them to make it difficult to expect all of them to stumble on Sunday. I think I probably could have shot a 67 or 68, but just a few too many wasted opportunities,Ž he said. McIlroy blistered drives of more than 300 yards in the fairway on the two par 5s on the back nine at Augusta, and both times walked off with pars. His pitch from 50 feet behind the 13th green came up 15 feet short. His approach on the 15th hole went over the green, and after a fine pitch to 10 feet, he missed that one, too. Not to be overlooked was a 10-foot birdie chance on the 14th, and a 5-foot birdie putt he missed on No. 11, the toughest hole on the back nine. Im going to need my best score around „ 65. Im going to need something like that to have a chance tomorrow,Ž McIlroy said. Ill be able to tell you better tomorrow night whether those missed opportunities hurt my chances.Ž Nothing irritated him more than the fifth hole. McIlroy, who started the third round just five shots out of the lead, fired off two quick birdies and a good par save on the par-3 fourth. He was three shots behind, a name on the white leaderboards that was getting everyones attention. And he was in good shape on the par-4 fifth hole. The only thing he couldnt do was leave it short. Had an 8-iron in my hands and then switched to a 9,Ž McIlroy said. The one place you dont want to miss it on that green is short, which I did.Ž He was some 40 feet short and ran the first putt 10 feet by. He missed that for a three-putt bogey. That sort of stopped any momentum I had,Ž McIlroy said. I was a little frustrated.Ž Two holes later, his tee shot was caught behind a tree and he punched a lot shot into the front bunker, his best chance at escaping with par. But his sand shot caught the slope and ran some 65 feet away. He left the first putt 12 feet short and had a three-putt double bogey. I tried to get cute with a bunker shot,Ž McIlroy said. Theres times on this course where you take your medicine and try to just walk away with a par. I sort of got the balance right today, but I didnt take my opportunities when I could have.Ž McIlroys last birdie of the third round came on No. 12, and with two par 5s ahead of him, he was poised to get right in the thick of it. Two more pars. I should be making birdie off the tee shots,Ž McIlroy said. I was just in between clubs on both of those holes. And I hit the wrong one on both, I guess, and left myself an awkward position. But thats the way it is.ŽPRO GOLF: The Masters NotebookThird round at Masters a day of wasted chances for McIlroyAP PHOTORory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, drops his putter on the 13th hole during the third round of the Masters Saturday in Augusta, Ga. Patrick, a 6-foot-2, 231-pound junior, has the most experience of the group as he was Cooks primary backup last season. He is averaging 5.4 yards per carry over his first two seasons and has a pair of 100yard games. Fisher said he was pleased with how Patrick did on some of the power and inside runs. Patrick also had the first touchdown of the game with a 1-yard run where he was able to bounce out of traffic near the goal line and punch it in. I feel like a big brother to the unit this spring. Just trying to help everybody because this is my third spring,Ž Patrick said. I feel like we can all feed off each other and do some major things.Ž Akers, who was considered the nations top running back by many recruiting services in the Class of 2017, was an early enrollee and has garnered the most attention and questions during the spring. The 5-11, 213-pound freshman had the longest run of the day on a 35-yard carry during the third quarter but also had a fumble after breaking a 16-yard run earlier in the same drive. Im proud of Cam. He went out there and did his thing,Ž Patrick said. Hes a young guy. Only 15 practices in. Hes still learning but you can see the potential.Ž Senior Ryan Green also showed some flashes with a pair of carries over 15 yards. Florida State, which was 10-3 last season, will also have five-star prospect Khalan Laborn vying for carries when practices resume in August. Florida State will face immediate pressure going into the preseason with the Sept. 2 opener against Alabama in Atlanta, but Fisher said preparing for the Crimson Tide wasnt the main focus of the spring. I feel good about the spring. I wanted it to be tough, physical and demanding,Ž Fisher said. We made strides in a lot of areas.Ž NOTES: Safety Derwin James, who played in only two games last season before suffering a knee injury, has shown he is fully recovered.

WP„Minor. THIS DATE IN BASEBALLAPRIL 91913: Ebbets Field opened in Brooklyn and Philadelphia defeated the Dodgers 1-0 before a crowd of 10,000. The stadium, which cost $750,000 to build, was named after Charles Ebbets, the clubs principal owner. 1947: Dodgers manager Leo Durocher was suspended for one year by commissioner Happy Chandler for the accumulation of unpleasant incidentsŽ detrimental to baseball. 1959: The Baltimore Orioles, playing against the Washington Senators, became the “ rst team in history to execute a triple play on opening day. The Senators won the game, 9-2. 1965: The Houston Astrodome opened with an exhibition game between the New York Yankees and Astros. BOX SCORESBy JAKE SEINERAssociated PressNEW YORK „ The scoreboard at Citi Field showed Jacob deGrom hitting 98 mph, and the ballpark buzzed with the Mets star back in top form. In Seattle, fans surely thought the same when Felix Hernandezs fastball ticked up on opening day. And how about that extra juice from Detroit ace Justin Verlander? All across the majors, pitchers are ramping up the velocity this season „ or at least it seems that way. Not so fast. Theyre actually getting a little help: Major League Baseball has changed the way its recording and reporting pitch speeds, driving up readings all over the league. After previously using PITCHf/x to provide velocities to broadcasts and ballparks, Major League Baseball Advanced Media is instead supplying numbers from its Statcast system. The key difference is that PITCHf/x calculates velocity at a set point „ usually 50 or 55 feet from the back of home plate „ while Statcast measures velocity directly out of the pitchers hand. Because of that difference, Statcast readings are faster than PITCHf/x by about 0.6 mph on average, according to MLBAM senior data architect Tom Tango. We do have the technology to capture the speed right out of the hand now,Ž Tango told The Associated Press. So thats what we report.Ž Trouble is, for now, fans and analysts arent necessarily comparing apples to apples on pitch speeds from last year. For example, PITCHf/x had deGrom averaging 93.4 mph on his fourseam fastball during an injury plagued 2016 season. On Wednesday, Statcast measured him at 94.2 mph, a bump deGrom noticed during the game. Last year, it felt like all I could do to get to 93 or 94,Ž deGrom said. On Wednesday, he got there no problem, but that 0.8 mph uptick might be mostly because of the new readings. The same may be true for Hernandez (up 0.7 mph on four-seamers from 2016s PITCHf/x to 2017s Statcast data), Verlander (up 0.8 mph) and Stephen Strasburg (up 0.9 mph). Conversely, Arizonas Zack Greinke (down 0.1 mph) might not be holding as steady as it seems.IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Pitching LEADERS AMERICAN LEAGUEBATTING: Mazara, Texas, .588; Garcia, Chicago, .500; Headley, New York, .467; Dickerson, Tampa Bay, .438; Simmons, Los Angeles, .421; Leon, Boston, .417; Castro, Minnesota, .400; Ellsbury, New York, .400; Souza Jr., Tampa Bay, .389; 4 tied at .375.

Page 6 SP www.yoursun.com Sunday, April 9, 2017 / The SunTHIS WEEK IN BASEBALL IN THE SPOTLIGHT: StrikeoutsFireballers dominate as strikeouts swellBy PAUL SULLIVANChicago TribuneWhile White Sox slugger Todd Frazier looks at Wins Above Replacement, runs saved and other modern day stats, he admits some of the computations dont really register. Hes not anti-analytics, but prefers the eye test. I dont understand most of it, to be honest,Ž Frazier said. I understand basically if youre a ballplayer or not. The best compliment you can get in baseball is if a guy comes up to you or tells somebody That guy is a ballplayer, or That guy can play. They dont worry about numbers. But at the end of the day, when you look at that baseball card, what do you do? You look at the numbers on the back. Some look pretty. Some dont.Ž As baseball nears the third decade of the 21st century, some of the numbers on the backs of baseball cards are increasingly ugly. The players dont seem to mind and fans now are accustomed to the new norm. Home runs also went from 4,186 in 2014 to 5,610 last year, a 34 percent rise, so its a trade-off many can accept. The simple explanation for the increase is the rise in velocity among strong, young pitchers. Its just part of thats how it is,Ž Angels center fielder Mike Trout said. Pitchers are throwing harder, and have nasty stuff.Ž Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant concurs, suggesting the higher strikeout totals are a byproduct of harder throwers, especially toward the end of games. Its just where things are going with pitchers, how good theyre getting,Ž Bryant said. It seems like every reliever is coming in throwing upward of 100 mph, and obviously thats tough to hit. But it has been around for a couple of years now. For myself, its all about improving. I did that from Year One to Year Two, and I expect to do that from Year Two to Year Three.Ž Few complain about the strikeouts of Trout or Bryant, the reigning MVPs of their respective leagues. Frazier hit a career-high 40 home runs in 16 with 163 strikeouts, while his 24.5 percent strikeout rate was 21st highest in the majors. Still, he wound up 28th in RBIs (98) and could have been higher if he had hit better in the clutch. Frazier batted .169 with runners in scoring position, 18th worst among players with 50 or more at-bats. Frazier said he needed to work on his RISP, but believes the strikeouts are something that comes withŽ being a slugger. If you try to hit the long ball, sometimes youre going to be late,Ž he said. Some guys guess at pitches. If they get that pitch, most of the time they dont miss it. Its just one of those things. My strikeouts were up last year, but Im not really worried about that. I know its going to come.Ž After a league-leading 199 strikeouts in 2015, his Rookie of the Year season, Bryant cut his total to 154 last year. He also sliced his strikeout rate from 30.6 percent in 15 „ third-worst in the majors „ to 22 percent. Keeping that rate around 20 to 22 percent or less would be great,Ž Bryant said. To me its not necessarily looking at the number of strikeouts because its all dependent of what kind of team you play on and how many at-bats you get,Ž he said. I look at the percentage, and thats a good percentage for me.Ž Frazier said he would like to average less than one strikeout per game. You dont want to be over 162,Ž he said. I was pretty close last year, but its baseball. Some days are better than others. And home runs win games.Ž Is it possible to hit home runs and not strike out too much? Reds first baseman Joey Votto had 29 homers with only 120 strikeouts last year, along with a leagueleading .434 on-base percentage. But hes more patient than most, and wont chase a pitch he cant hit. I guess its a mindset,Ž Frazier said. Hes a guy who works the counts, and he looks for one pitch and one pitch only. With two strikes itll change, but if its not that one pitch in that one spot, hes not going to swing. Thats tough for me to do. Im completely opposite. Im looking for a pitch in an area, and if its in that area Im going to swing. Thats the difference between (high and low) on-base percentage. Do I want to walk? No, I dont, to be honest with you. I want to drive guys in.Ž Not everyone can be Votto. For sluggers like Frazier and Bryant, its all about getting runs in by any means necessary, and strikeouts are just an occupational hazard. If youre able to continue to sustain hitting for power and driving in runs, then nobody cares about the strikeouts,Ž Bryant said. But thats not who I am. I want to do both well at the same time, bringing down that percentage. Thats just me being a perfectionist.ŽCOMMENTARYBy JEFF MILLERThe Orange County RegisterHe couldnt have looked more odd standing out there, wearing San Diegos uniform and Mike Trouts number. The team didnt have No. 36 available for Jered Weaver, those digits belonging instead to pitching coach Darren Balsley, who, as a player, never advanced beyond Double-A. Yes, one of the greatest all-time Angels is now just another onetime Padre, a guy trying to extend his career on a team facing a season that will be all about survival. As bizarre as things appeared early Thursday at Dodger Stadium, Weaver then threw a pitch „ his first for a team other than the one for whom he toiled 2,025 innings „ and everything suddenly looked quite familiar. Five innings of huffing and puffing later, Weaver had allowed four runs „ on two blistering homers by Yasiel Puig „ in what would become a 10-2 laugher for the Dodgers. I thought, for the most part, Weave was out there battling,Ž his manager said afterward. I thought it was a fairly competitive outing.Ž If that sounds like something youve heard before, thats only because you have heard it before. The words belonged to Andy Green this time. But the sentiment was pure Mike Scioscia. Weavers fastball peaked in the mid-80s. He fooled a few hitters but not enough of them. He continued to search for outs and a whole lot more. Weaver reacted by tossing his head back in frustration. He sat idly on the bench between innings and stared at nothing. He, at least once, pitched his glove in disgust. Weaver, just like always, fought with everything he had, which, once again, wasnt much. The images were ones Angels fans have seen plenty of times, even if they came this time with no Angels emotion attached. He walked three, although only one of them scored. He also hit a batter. But Weavers non-Angels debut was doomed by the 798 combined feet of Puig prodigiousness. The distance was estimated; the damage was precise. Even if he was wearing foreign colors, Weaver strode on familiar ground. A Southern California native, this was his 12th start against the Dodgers. He said he had 16 people at the game specifically to see him pitch, noting, with a grin, that the pregame ticket situation was a bit of a pain in the (behind).Ž Last season, his 11th with the Angels, was a difficult one for Weaver, some of the math „ 5.06 ERA, 37 homers allowed „ flatly horrific. Still, he finished with 12 victories, which led the Angels and was more than every Dodger other than Kenta Maeda. OK, so it took Clayton Kershaw missing nearly half the season to clinch that particular statistic. But the point is Weaver still admirably and impressively found ways to win. A new problem for him this season, though, likely will be the fact hes pitching for a team that aspires to be as lethal as the 2016 Angels, who finished 14 games below .500 and had to rally in late September just to do that. To be blunt, this is not a very good team for San Diego. In fact, this isnt even a very good team for San Jose, San Antonio or San Dimas. At $3 million, Weaver was the highest-paid starter for the Padres on Thursday. Their entire lineup for this game will be paid slightly more than $12 million for the season, which is less than four Dodgers will make on their own. When he signed with San Diego only hours before the start of spring training, Weaver was practically assured a spot in the rotation, an opportunity no other club could have offered. The Padres, of course, arent the only team in baseball lacking an ace. But San Diego is one of the few also lacking a No. 2 starter and, to be honest, probably a No. 3, as well. So, in other words, as long as last season was at times for Weaver, this season could end up feeling like its being played uphill, into the wind and underwater. Theres also this: With his history as an Angel, Weaver was never going to be released, no matter how much he struggled. As a short-term Padre „ depending on how this season unfolds „ there are no certainties.Weaver “ ghting an aging battleAP PHOTOWhite Sox third baseman Todd Frazier hits a single off Twins relief pitcher Justin Haley during the sixth inning Saturday in Ch icago.

r\005 b\002r\001nfftt fn me your calcium supplements your family historyyour your genetic (which I don'opinion f adno=8602487 If grandparents aren't online, find another way to connect DEAR ABBY: My son Travis, age 9, is computer savvy, but his Luddite grandparents (my inlaws) live far away from us and don't even have internet access. They are no longer able to travel, and our nances prohibit frequent visits to them. Travis could be Skyping them, and they could have a vital relationship through the miracle of modern technology. Instead, he will take their phone calls only occasionally, and enjoys the annual visit with them  but mainly because of the other relatives there. If these were my parents (who are sadly long gone), I'd set them up on Skype and have them at least try. When his grandparents are no longer able to live on their own and move to assisted living, will that offer at least a hope of virtual connectivity?  MODERN MAN IN SAN DIEGO DEAR MODERN MAN: By age 9, if your son isn't interested in talking to his grandparents, and his grandparents make no effort to reach out, do not expect it to happen when he's older and they go into assisted living. Travis should be compelled to talk to his grandparents more often. If people want to connect, they usually somehow manage to do it through letters, phones, computers, etc. Over the last 20 years, many seniors have learned about computers and manage them quite well. If your in-laws have a smartphone, they could talk to your son on video chat. DEAR ABBY: Ihave been playingthepiano for veyearsandIstill enjoy it.Butoverthe past yearand a half, going for lessonsevery week andhavingto practice isgetting old for me.Infact,I'm beginning to loathe it. It'snot theteacher,it's not my parents  it's me.I'm justover all of the weeklylessonsand having toremember to practice.My heart isn't in itanymore. What do youthinkIshould do? RYAN IN MICHIGAN DEAR RYAN: You should talk to your teacher about it. After ve years of weekly lessons and diligent practice, you should have a pretty solid musical education by now. You may need to take a break, change teachers or even change instruments. Your teacher may have a broader perspective on this than you do, so take your guidance from the pro. DEAR ABBY: Irecently invitedan acquaintance tobemy guest ata play I'mdirecting andtothe castparty afterward.I likethisman, andhe's donemea numberof favors,sotheinvitation was a sortof thank you. Ihaven'theard oneway or theother fromthe invitee.Idon't want topushand make the person uncomfortable, butI'd liketoknow whether he'scoming or not.ShouldIfollow up withhimor letit go?  NEEDS TOKNOW IN NEW YORK DEARNEEDS TO KNOW: By not responding to your invitation, the man is letting you know that it's not high on his list of priorities. Personally, Ithink youshould let it go. And if he asks about the play just before it opens,tell him that you made other plans because youthought he wasn't interested.Because you like him, say it nicely.But toleave you hanging is rude.

Arlene A., Staten Island, N.Y.Multiple skeins hintDear Heloise: I read where a reader told you how she keeps her skeins of yarn separate when working on projects that require multiple skeins. Here's what I do: I take 2-liter bottles, cut off the bottoms and place a skein inside. I feed the tail out through the neck. I then get a box that holds multiple wine bottles and place the liter bottles in it, and you're all set.  Doris G., Belton, TexasTest your hint IQDear Readers: Q. Why should you not use fresh or frozen pineapple in gelatin desserts? A. Fresh or frozen pineapple hasn't been processed, so it still contains the enzyme that will prevent gelatin from setting. Use canned pineapple, and it's a go!  HeloiseID protectionDear Heloise: I forgo a paper shredder, preferring to tear my bills, etc., several times and toss them into a trash bag, and then I scoop my used cat litter in there. Iseriously doubtanyonewillriffle through used cat litterfor my personalinformation. Cheapand easy.  Betty inGrandRapids, Mich.Oven temperaturesDear Heloise: Here's a hint my mom taught me: To avoid burnt-bottomed cookies, preheat the oven to 5 degrees higher than needed. Then adjust down to the correct temperature after putting the cookies in. That way, the heating element won't come on, even with the temperature drop due to opening the door.  Katherine T., Perryville, Ark. As long as you remember to lower the temp! Generally,opening the door for long enough to put in a pan of cookies should not lower the temp that much.  HeloiseEasy gripDear Heloise: After having trouble with my ngers sliding down the barrel of a ballpoint pen, I wrapped a rubber band around the lower part several times. Result: No slipping through my ngers, and more comfortable writing!  W.

Tally A.,Lubbock, TexasNew bed linensDear Heloise: We always buy sheets with a vertical stripeor pattern. That way, it's easier to gure which end goes at the top of the bed when we are tting the sheets, especially the bottom sheet.  Marybeth B., via emailWash or dry-clean?Dear Heloise: I have a red, white and blue bedspread. The label reads dry clean only. Can I launder it without it fading?  Jenny inOmaha, Neb. Jenny, if the label says dry clean only and you care about the spread, you should indeed do as instructed.If the tag says dry clean, you may be able to wash it without harm. Test a small red spot withcold water on a cotton swab. See red? Don't wash the spread!  HeloiseTangled sheetsDearHeloise: Toprevent sheets from tangling inthedryer,dry top sheet and bottomseparately. Dothe bottom rst so youcan put it on the bed and be half-done. JoanneH. inHoustonEarrings storageDear Heloise: I love your column in the Orange County (Calif.) Register. I use clear plastic egg cartons for my earrings. Thiskeeps them together and easy to nd. I keep another in the kitchen drawer under our pod coffee maker. I can easily see all the different avors!  Donna D., Orange, Calif.HELOISE JUMBLE DEAR ABBY Dear Abby Hints from Heloise BOOK CORNER Even with the hindsight of history, it's mystifying that 56 years ago when John F. Kennedy was preparing to become president, the fate of the Southeast Asian backwater of Laos was considered critical for America. Joshua Kurlantzick recounts how the fear of the spread of communism that gave rise to the Vietnam War also led to the secret, devastating U.S. intervention in neighboring Laos, a nation of rice farmers that was cursed by its location on the geopolitical map. During the presidential transition in 1961, Dwight Eisenhower was advising Kennedy that Laos was the most pressing foreign policy issue facing the United States. The CIA was starting to arm Hmong hill tribe ghters to resist Vietnamese-led communist forces, but what began as a low-budget, guerrilla training mission morphed into a decadelong U.S. b ombing campaign bigger than that unleashed on Japan and Germany in World War II. The story of this highly unconventional war has been told before, but Kurlantzick provides a more completepicture using declassied CIA histories. He also analyzes how the conict heralded the agency's support of clandestine, paramilitary operations around the world as a virtual armof the U.S.armed forces, still characteristic of its role today. The brisk narrative weaves events in Laos with machinations in Washington, and centers on four key gures. Thereis Vang Pao, the dynamic, ruthless Hmong guerrilla leader who commanded up to 30,000 ghters and could summon death or food in ways that, in Hmong lore, only deities could do. His CIA handler,Bill Lair, was a shy Texanwith a cool, bookish demeanor, who would rue the escalation of the warthat Washington championed as a way of drawing in communist forces that might otherwise have fought Americans on the ground in Vietnam. Although the warin Laos failed to stop the communists, who remain in power, and left a staggering harvest of deadly, unexploded bombs, CIA chiefs considered the operation a success. Kurlantzick concludes that it also set a troubling precedent in allowing American presidents to conduct war in secrecy.Review: The CIA in Laos changed the way America wages warBy MATTHEW PENNINGTONASSOCIATED PRESS AP PHOTOThis book cover image released by Simon & Schuster shows, A Great Place to Have a War: America in Laos and the Birth of a Military CIA, by Joshua Kurlantzick.

Page 2 www.yoursun.com The Sun / Sunday, April 9, 2017 Dear Mayo Clinic: My eyes have gotten drier as Ive gotten older, and Ive tried eye drops for relief. But some eye drops feel irritating, and others seem to have a rather thick consistency. What options do I have? A: Dry eyes occur when your tears „ a mixture of water, fatty oils and mucus „ arent able to provide enough lubrication for your eyes. This can happen because your eyes dont make enough tears or if your tears are poor quality. Aging is a common cause of dry eyes, but certain medical conditions and some medications also can result in dry eyes. Some people with dry eyes “nd relief without buying any special treatments or eye drops. One option is to apply warm compresses to the eyes. You can use a warm washcloth or a heated beaded mask, and apply to the eyes for 10 minutes. Then, gently wash your eyelashes and eyelids using watered-down mild shampoo. By unplugging any plugged oil gland pores on the eyelid margins, oil from the eyelid can freely glide over the surface of your eye to form a protective layer „ much like a sheen of oil sometimes can be seen in parking lot puddles after rain. This can take a few days to bene“t you, and it keeps your tears from evaporating so quickly. If warm compresses and lid scrubs dont work, you may consider using eye drops. Avoid eye drops that state they will reduce redness, as prolonged use of this type of eye drops can cause irritation. Instead, use arti“cial tears. Some contain preservatives to prolong shelf life, but these can cause eye irritation if used more than four times a day. For more frequent use, try preservative-free eye drops. These come in packages of multiple single-use vials. After you use a vial, you throw it away. Lubricating eye ointments have a thicker consistency. They coat your eyes, providing longer-lasting relief from dry eyes. Since these products can blur your vision temporarily, they are best used just before bedtime. If nonprescription eye drops arent helping, talk to your eye doctor. Sometimes, an underlying problem, such as Sjogrens syndrome or rosacea, may need to be treated “rst. If a medication you take for another condition is causing your dry eyes, your doctor can discuss whether changing your prescription might help. If an in”ammation on the surface of your eyes is causing your dry eyes, it may be possible to control it with prescription eye drops that contain the immune-suppr essing medication cyclosporine (Restasis). This medication may require several months of regular use before symptoms improve. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved a new kind of eye drop solution, lifitegrast (Xiidra), which may work a little faster than cyclosporine. Lifitegrast also works to decrease surface inflammation, although in a different way than cyclosporine. Other options that may provide relief from dry eyes are available, as well. Examples include tear duct plugs to keep tears from draining out, dissolvable eye inserts, other medications and select procedures to help increase moisture in your eyes. Sometimes, even special types of eyewear may help reduce dryness from outside air. Talk with your doctor to determine the cause of your dry eyes. He or she can recommend a tre atment that is right for your situation.Relief for your dry eyesFROM MAYO CLINIC NEWS NETWORK TNS PHOTOAging is a common cause of dry eyes.

Page 4 www.yoursun.com The Sun / Sunday, April 9, 2017 From professional athletes to recreational leagues and young children enjoying their “rst season of T-ball, sports offer a fun way to stay active and healthy. But to keep athletes eyes on the ball, protective eyewear is essential to protect eyes from serious injuries and vision loss. During Sports Eye Safety Month this April, Dr. Neil Zusman reminds the public to protect their eyes when enjoying athletic activities. Each year ophthalmologists „ medical doctors who specialize in medical and surgical eye care „ attend to more than 40,000 sports-related eye injuries. The eye is very delicate, and a misjudged catch or a ”ying elbow can cause serious injuries ranging from black eyes and corneal abrasions, to intraocular hemorrhage, retinal detachments and fractured eye sockets. Some eye injuries are very serious and may require emergency surgery or result in permanent vision loss. Unfortunately, approximately onethird of eye-injury victims are children. The good news is that 90 percent of eye injuries can be prevented by wearing protective eyewear. To prevent sports-related eye injuries, the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that all athletes wear appropriate, sportspeci“c protective eyewear. Choose eyewear made from polycarbonate materials for the highest level of impact protection, since they can withstand a ball or other projectile traveling at 90 miles per hour. Whether or not a sporting league requires protective eyewear, wearing it can save vision. Most sporting leagues dont require children to wear eye protection, so parents must insist that their children wear eye protection when they play. As an ophthalmologist, the last thing I want is for my patients to end up in emergency eye surgery after a sports event,Ž said Dr. Zusman. The eyes are very delicate and vulnerable, and sports-related eye injuries can be devastating. It is extremely important for athletes of all ages and in any sport to protect their eyes with protective eyewear.Ž If a black eye, pain or visual problem occurs after a blow, contact your ophthalmologist, or seek emergency medical help immediately. For more information about keeping eyes safe from injuries, visit www.geteyesmart. org. Zusman Eye Care Center is a stateof-the-art facility providing a variety of services ranging from routine eye exams to medical and surgical treatment of eye disease. Dr. Zusman specializes in no stitch, no needle, no patch cataract surgery under topical anesthesia. He also performs laser surgery and eyelid surgery. Additional interests include glaucoma, diabetes, macular degeneration and the diagnosis and treatment of ocular trauma/injuries. Zusman Eye Care Center is located at 3430 Tamiami Trail, Suite A, Port Charlotte. For more information, call 941-624-4500.Sports-related eye injuries affect thousands each yearProvided by NEIL B.

The Sun /Sunday, April 9, 2017 www.yoursun.com Page 5 Underscoring the serious risk of birth defects from Zika, federal health of“cials Tuesday reported that about one in 10 pregnant women with a con“rmed infection in 2016 had a fetus or baby with a brain abnormality or other neurological disorder associated with the virus. The risk for birth defects was even higher, about 15 percent, among mothers infected during the “rst trimester of pregnancy, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions latest Vital SignsŽ report. Zika continues to be a threat to pregnant women in the United States,Ž said CDC Acting Director Anne Schuchat in a conference call with reporters Tuesday. With warm weather, a new mosquito season and summer travel rapidly approaching, prevention is crucial to protect the health of mothers and babies.Ž The CDC report is the “rst to analyze a group of pregnant women in the continental United States with con“rmed infection reported to the U.S. Zika Pregnancy Registry from Jan. 15 to Dec. 27, 2016. During that time, 1,297 pregnant women in 44 states were reported to the registry, but only 972 completed their pregnancies, live births and stillborn, in the time frame analyzed. Among the 972 completed pregnancies, Zika-related birth defects were reported in 51, or 5 percent. But the proportion of birth defects was higher, about 10 percent, when limited to pregnancies with laboratory-con“rmed infections. The distinction underscores the complexity of Zika testing. There is only a narrow time frame, about two weeks after symptoms begin, to obtain a positive lab result that detects the virus molecules in the blood or urine. After that time, Zika tests can only detect antibodies developed by the immune system to “ght the virus „ but those tests cannot clearly distinguish between Zika and related pathogens, such as dengue and chikungunya, and they require further testing. In addition, most people infected with Zika, about four out of “ve, do not have symptoms, which can include fever, muscle pain, rash and red eyes. For that reason, the CDC is monitoring all pregnant women with any evidence of recent Zika infection. Schuchat said the Zika pregnancy registry is growing fast. Were still seeing about 30 to 40 new Zika cases in pregnant women each week in the Untied States,Ž she said. Schuchat said the CDC will not report individual state results from the national Zika pregnancy registry out of concern for patient privacy. But she added that most of the women included in Tuesdays report acquired Zika while traveling to an area where Zika was actively spreading in 2016, which includes Miami-Dade. However, the CDC analysis does not include data from pregnant women in Puerto Rico, where more than 37,000 cases have been reported since 2015, because the U.S. territorial island has its own Zika pregnancy registry. Birth defects potentially associated with Zika during pregnancy included brain abnormalities, such as microcephaly, eye disorders, central nervous system dysfunction and other neurological problems. Peggy Honein, co-lead for the CDC Zika Response Teams Pregnancy and Birth Defects Task Force, said the numbers show an undeniable increase in microcephaly and related neurological defects have increased due to Zika. The rate of 10 percent reported in 2016 is more than 30 times higher than the baseline prevalence before 2016, which was about three of every 1,000 live births. Prevention is key,Ž Honein said. There are basic steps people, and especially pregnant women and their male partners, can take to help protect themselves from Zika.Ž CDC guidance advises pregnant women to stay away from any areas with risk of Zika, including Miami-Dade, where state health of“cials in 2016 identi“ed areas with active spread of the virus. In addition, a number of cases were reported in Miami-Dade in 2016 with no identi“ed area of exposure. In addition, the CDC reported in March that the threat of Zika was even greater for South Florida than previously understood „ with a heightened risk since June 2016 for residents in Broward and Palm Beach counties because of local travel patterns and challenges in identifying all areas where the virus was spreading. Florida health of“cials con“rmed 1,440 Zika infections in 2016, including 292 pregnant women. This year, the health department has reported 34 Zika infections statewide, including 18 pregnant women. Scientists have known Zika infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly and other brain abnormalities in developing fetuses. It also can lead to congenital Zika syndrome, which is a pattern of birth defects that includes brain abnormalities, vision problems, hearing loss, and limb defects. Zika has been nearly dormant in Miami-Dade so far in 2017, with two locally acquired cases con“rmed and no zones of active transmission identi“ed. Florida Gov. Rick Scotts budget proposal calls for new funding for the health department to hire more scientists and conduct more research to combat the spread of Zika, and Philip said in March that states the bureau of public labs has increased capacity greatlyŽ for testing. She said by mid-April, the state will begin conducting a complex test for distinguishing Zika from related viruses, such as dengue and chikungunya, that previously only the CDC could perform. Philip said having the state conduct the test, known as a plaque reduction neutralization test, will cut wait times from two to three months to several weeks. Last year, a backlog of Zika test results led to hundreds of patients, most of them pregnant women, waiting months to receive their results.CDC: 1 in 10 pregnant women with Zika had fetus or baby with birth defectsBy DANIEL CHANGMIAMI HERALD TNS PHOTOMaggie Arias, of Coconut Grove, Florida, is shown in this le image at 23 weeks pregnant with her rst baby. adno=50513280

Page 6 www.yoursun.com The Sun / Sunday, April 9, 2017 At the start of the year, you made a resolution and started a journey. Your goal may have been to lose weight, get in shape, improve your general health, tackle a speci“c disease or health condition or even get rid of a pot belly. You are now into the fourth month of your journey. How are you doing? Have you made any signi“cant progress? If you have, are you satis“ed with that progress? The truth is, three months should be a suf“cient amount of time to determine the effectiveness of the program you are using. If you are receiving professional assistance such as personal training or nutritional counseling, these too should be considered. If your assessment shows that you are making substantial progress you could continue on the path you are on. If, on the other hand, your progress has been little or none, then it is time to reconsider your path and the assistance (if any) you are receiving. To revamp your training efforts, so as to ensure the successful accomplishment of your “tness or health goal, will require the following: € Consider the gym you presently attend and the services (basic and special) it offers. € Understand and apply “tness and health concepts, principles and practices that are conducive to your programs success.YOUR GYM, IS IT THE ONE FOR YOU?Joining a gym is, in most cases, a step toward improving your “tness and/or health. With that said, it is also possible for you to attend a gym for a long time, yet fail to reach an established goal or see signi“cant results. The truth is, attending a gym „ even when much effort and time are contributed „ is no guarantee of success. Getting the most from your gym experience requires proper planning, adequate preparation and an attitude that fosters success. As a “rst step, you should determine your purpose for joining a gym. Is it to get in shape, lose weight, forge a more attractive body or is it something else? With your purpose in mind, visit a number of gyms to determine the best one for you. The one you select should be favorable to your schedule, should be affordable and should provide the equipment and other services required to help you reach your goal. Your “rst few days at the gym are important ones. Normally, you will be given a tour of the facility and be introduced to the various pieces of equipment. Also, a training program will be established for you. This program is vital to your success and should not be taken lightly. Many gyms will create a program for you that is based on a standard template. Such a program often lacks the personal touch that can help to make it an effective one. To improve your chances for success, it is important that you secure a personalized training program. Some gyms will assign you a temporary personal trainer. He/she will work with you until you are comfortable using the equipment. From that point on, you are basically on your own. In such a situation, it would be to your advantage to secure the services of a certi“ed personal trainer who is capable of creating the correct program for you and guiding you toward success. In many cases, a few paid sessions are all you would really need. Once you become familiar with the program you can continue training on your own. It should be noted that services such as advanced personal training, relaxation and meditation training, weight and/or pot belly reduction training, body sculpting, stress management and nutrition counseling are considered special services and can be quite expensive. However, sometimes these services may be offered as a part of a personalized training program at a lower cost or free.

The Sun /Sunday, April 9, 2017 www.yoursun.com Page 9 Spring brings sunshine, emerging greenery and longer days, but many people dread this season for the sinus pressure, headaches, itchy eyes and respiratory problems it brings. Experts predict that the early taste of warm weather across much of the country in February and March means that pollen counts are increasing earlier, and impacts may be felt for a longer time this season. There is no single allergy season,Ž said Maria Compton, D.O., otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat specialist). Allergy symptoms may vary throughout the year, depending on where you live and the types of substances youre allergic to. Still, many people experience a worsening of their allergies around springtime, when pollen counts are highest.Ž Spring allergies can start as early as February and last until summer. Meteorologists predict that much of the Southeast and the East Coast will have increased pollen levels this year, due to the mild end of winter and early start to the growing season. According to the National Allergy Bureau, high concentrations of tree pollen have already been reported in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. In parts of the Ohio Valley that typically have snow on the ground in late February and early March, allergies are already beginning to increase. And thanks to only short bursts of cold air, the trend is expected to continue into the Northern Plains and Northeast. If you or a family member suffers from hay fever or allergic rhinitis, here are some helpful tips to keep symptoms in check: € Leave the pollen outside. Take your shoes off at the door as much as possible, to keep from spreading pollen through your house. € Close your windows and dust your fans. Despite the nice weather, true sufferers should keep the windows shut to prevent allergens from entering. If you use a ceiling fan, give it a good spring cleaning. Replace air “lters in your home and car. € Be thorough in your spring cleaning. Wash down your walls, get rid of clutter, launder all sheets and comforters, dust and clean blinds, baseboards and everywhere else you can reach. € Keep your immune system strong. Eat fresh, clean, nutrient rich foods and stay active. The healthier your immune system, the more equipped your body is to battle histamines. € Be aware of the pollen count. It changes daily „ look up the count for the day, by ZIP code, at www.pollen.com. € Sip warm beverages. Herbal teas can help ease congestion and keep you hydrated. Wherever you live this year, allergies are likely to affect someone in your home. In addition to tips for avoiding allergy triggers, there are many effective trea tments to minimize symptoms. Enjoy all the wonderful experiences spring has to offer by talking with your doctor about the best allergy prevention or treatment path for you.

Current speech therapy approaches like the LSVT LOUD typically include instruction in vocal function exercises which may improve use of the muscles, and also incorporate cueing strategies, such as think loudŽ or speak twice as loud.Ž Bringing conscious attention to a motor task through external cueing has been shown to result in improved motor performance in individuals with PD in both limb movements and in speech production, making it an effective strategy. Some patients, however, are unable to internalize or retain a cue post speech therapy or in the face of the demands of day to day conversation, when one must process language and formulate novel thoughts. Up until now, clinicians and researchers have not known if one cueing strategy works better than another in eliciting more normal speech and voice. But research being conducted by Jessica Huber, Ph.D., Purdue University, Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, is providing some novel information that may help speech-language pathologist better match treatment approaches with individual patients. Dr. Huber and her colleagues have been conducting research investigating the respiratory/voice patterns of individuals with Parkinsons and healthy controls. Their data thus far suggest that hypophonia in individuals with PD does not appear to be due to disease-related physiologic limitations in increasing loudness, but rather is due to a cognitiveperceptual problem. In fact, many people with Parkinsons are able to increase their level of voice loudness similar to matched healthy adults largely using similar respiratory strategies to speak louder, but due to the sensory-perceptual mismatch, they are not using their speech instrument in the most effective way. Dr. Hubers research lab has investigated the effect of different cueing conditions on speech production, and her research indicates that loudness changes as a result of a more natural, implicit cue (such as speaking in noise) may be achieved more easily and effectively than in external cues (speak twice as loudŽ) that require greater attention. Dr. Hubers research has led to the creation of a medical device intervention called SpeechVive. The SpeechVive is a device intervention that works by detecting when a patient speaks, and at that time, the device plays a background noise in one of the patients ears, eliciting the Lombard Effect, a well-known phenomenon where speakers naturally speak louder under conditions of background noise. When the patient is not speaking, SpeechVive does not deliver babble noise to the ear. In the “rst round of clinical trials conducted by Dr. Huber, over 80 percent of patients showed immediate improvement from simply wearing the device for the “rst time. Although it can seem almost magical to have a patient speak louder and clearer the “rst time they try the device, SpeechVive is not magic. Rather, it takes advantage of a patients own physiology, enabling them to use the speech and voice muscles more ef“ciently, without any added work of something to remember or self-monitor, making it a good option for individuals with memory problems. Once the device is programmed by a speech-language pathologist, the patient wears it every day just like a hearing aid. The device also collects data about device usage which may be helpful in setting speech goals and also may help researchers better understand the effect of Parkinsons medications on speech production.Want to learn more?Like any speech therapy intervention for persons with Parkinsons, there is no one size “ts all, and a recommendation for speech therapy should be preceded by a thorough evaluation, that evaluates function and also considers what the patient is willing and able to do.

The Sun /Sunday, April 9, 2017 www.yoursun.com Page 11 Keeping the brain sharp is a key component to living our best lives. But searching for answers on how to boost brain power will unearth a lot of advice „ such as adding coconut oil to food, taking supplements, snif“ng rosemary herbs or getting an inversion table to hang upside down to improve the brains circulation are all oddball ideas to stall dementia. As we question how to protect our mental processing and avoid being taken in by worthless advice, research may have better answers. Currently, there are new studies that show that mental acuity can be maintained and improved with regular exercise. In Harvards long-running Nurses Health Study, researchers analyzed health data from more than 13,000 participating women. Those who reported getting the most exercise (a level equivalent to walking briskly “ve to six hours per week) at age 60 were about twice as likely to have more longevity compared with the most sedentary women. And the exercise group arrived at age 70 without chronic conditions like cancer or heart disease and without dementia. A year-long study was done by Canadian researchers who randomly assigned 155 women ages 65 to 75 into two groups. One group was given free weights or weight machines and assigned a once or twice exercise regimen consisting of a progressive strength-training program. The control group was given a twice-aweek toning and balancing program. At studies end, the control group didnt improve in cognitive function. However, the women who did strength training outperformed the control group in the realm of executive function, which regulates, controls, and manages other cognitive processes such as con”ict resolution, planningand selective attention. There was also a link to improved walking speed, which is a forecaster of falls and fracture risk. Its well-known that exercise preserves muscle strength, keeps your heart strong, and helps stall conditions like diabetes. Proof does exist that exercise can also help boost your mental processing. We know that exercise behaves like medicine to improve thinking skills. Theres a lot of science behind this,Ž said Harvard Medical School neurologist instructor Dr. Scott McGinnis in Harvard Health Letter.Ž He asserts that many studies have suggested that the parts of the brain that control thinking and memory (the prefrontal cortex and medial temporal cortex) have greater volume in people who exercise versus people who dont. Even more exciting is the “nding that engaging in a program of regular exercise of moderate intensity over six months or a year is associated with an increase in the volume of selected brain regions,Ž said Dr. McGinnis. He points to a study published in the January 2014 Journal of the American Geriatrics SocietyŽ that tai chi (an ancient Chinese exercise consisting of slow, rhythmic and meditative body movements designed to enhance relaxation, inner calm and peace) showed the potential to enhance cognitive function in older adults. Its theorized that the purposeful and focused movement involves learning and memorizing new movement patterns. In Harvard Health Letter,Ž Dr. McGinnis recommend taking exercise as a prescribed medication and make it a habit. He advises to be patient because evidence shows that cognitive bene“ts take six months of an established and regular program of exercise. Regarding exercise, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends getting at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity (such as brisk walking) or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity (such as jogging) a week. If thats too much, start slowly and add “ve to 10 minutes per week until you arrive at your goal. Starting an exercise program can be daunting. Ask your doctor if a physical therapist can help you safely start a regimen that is right for you. Whatever exercise is chosen, medical experts say that healthy brain aging should involve the rest of the body too. There is abundant evidence that physical activity „ the kind that gets your pulse thumping helps the mind as well as the heart.

Page 12 www.yoursun.com The Sun / Sunday, April 9, 2017 Cigarette smoking in the U.S. has dropped dramatically since the landmark publication of the 1964 U.S. Surgeon Generals report on smoking and health. This has led to improved health for millions of Americans. Those reductions, however, are unevenly distributed. Smoking remains prevalent among impoverished groups, those with other substance-use disorders or mental illness, certain ethnic/racial minorities and gender/sexual minorities. In some populations, such as disadvantaged women, smoking rates have actually increased during this period. There are few silver bullets when it comes to serious health challenges like cigarette smoking. However, research has shown something that works: Financial incentives, in the form of vouchers, to promote smoking cessation and other health-related behavior change works especially well among vulnerable populations. Considering that cigarette smoking still kills about 480,000 people in the U.S. annually and five million globally „ and accounts for nearly $170 billion in direct medical care for American adults „ using financial incentives to decrease smoking merits serious consideration. As public health researchers, one of whom has worked with vulnerable populations on these issues since the 1980s, we have seen how financial incentives can promote health-related behavior change.A brief history of financial incentivesFinancial incentives gained recognition in the early 1990s through studies on outpatient treatment of cocaine dependence. With intensive counseling, an intervention offering vouchers exchangeable for retail items helped keep people off cocaine. The vouchers were contingent on objective evidence of cocaine abstinence. They proved to be the only intervention among many tested, such as counseling and the use of medications, to work in controlled studies. The benefits lasted not only during the 12 weeks the incentives were used but also for at least two years beyond. Because incentives worked when virtually everything else tried failed, researchers studied the treatment model across a wide range of drug use and other health problems. One large-scale development that grew out of this work is known as Conditional Cash Transfers. This program was underwritten by the World Bank. Financial incentives are used to reduce chronic poverty in developing countries. As just one example of that effort, Brazil has seen a widespread conditional cash transfer program lead to a significant reduction in child mortality rates. Financial incentives in the form of vouchers exchangeable for goods or services are also now part of routine care for drug use disorders in U.S. Veteran Administration Hospital systems and for smoking cessation and other health-related behavior changes in employee wellness programs. These types of incentives are not yet being used widely, however, in the U.S. publicly supported programs to promote smoking cessation and other health-related behavior changes. Smoking during pregnancy provides a great example of a problem for which vouchers contingent on evidence of smoking abstinence (e.g., clean urine samples) can help women quit smoking and improve the health of their infants. Smoking during pregnancy can cause catastrophic pregnancy complications and can also harm fetal development and infant health. It can also cause later-in-life disease risk among exposed offspring. Smoking during pregnancy is largely a problem among economically disadvantaged women, due to greater prevalence, higher nicotine dependence, and greater difficulties in quitting smoking upon becoming pregnant, compared to more affluent women. The search for effective treatments dates back to 1984 and has entailed more than 77 controlled trials involving 29,000 women. However, most interventions to date produce unacceptably small treatment effects that, on average, only increase cessation rates by about 6 percent above controls. The exception to that is financial incentives, which produce an average 24 percent increase in cessation rates compared to control groups, along with improvements in birth outcomes.Financial incentives for pregnant smokersAt the University of Vermonts Center on Behavior and Health, we have conducted a series of clinical trials examining the effectiveness of financial incentives (e.g., vouchers in the form of gift cards to restaurants, movies, baby stores) for quitting smoking during pregnancy. Participants in our studies were smokers recruited from clinics in the greater Burlington area. They were assigned to one of two conditions: In the incentives condition, women earned vouchers redeemable for retail items for providing urine samples indicating that they were not smoking. In the control condition, women earned vouchers of equal value regardless of their smoking status. This control condition allowed the researchers to ensure that any differences between the two conditions were due to vouchers being contingent on objective evidence of smoking abstinence rather than the provision of extra resources. Women in the incentives condition received a voucher worth $6.25 for the first urine sample that they provided which indicated no smoking. The vouchers escalated in value for each consecutive negative sample „ as measured by urine toxicology testing on a weekly basis by research staff „ to a maximum of $45, where they were maintained through 12 weeks postpartum.Pay people to stop smoking?

The Sun /Sunday, April 9, 2017 www.yoursun.com Page 13 By now it is not a secret that few things affect health and medical costs more than the cumulative effect of our eating habits. This doesnt mean that to eat healthily we must submit to a diet of grass clippings, earthworms and gravel. A healthy diet is every bit as delicious as foods we used to eat, minus the negative side effects. We have come to realize that some of our favorite dishes are not good for us, because they contain tons of bacon, butter, cream, full-fat dairy products and high amounts of salt and sugar. Among the methods of achieving our goal to cut calories and eat more healthfully, is making a few adjustments to our favorite recipes so we can still enjoy similar, slimmed-down versions of them. For example, potato salad and coleslaw dressings can be made with olive oil, lemon juice and herbs instead of mayonnaise. A sweet potato casserole tastes great with sliced steamed Golden Delicious apples and cinnamon, instead of sweetening it with sugar and marshmallows. A calorie-laden apple pie can be just as tasty when a sweeter type of apple is used, (rather than the very tart Granny Smith which requires the addition of a lot of sugar) and adding a few raisins. Better yet, make it a crustless apple crisp, to eliminate ”our, fat and calories. Breakfast pancakes are loaded with empty calories, fat and syrup. Making them also requires quite a bit of time and the use of multiple dishes. Substitute a wholesome home baked granola cereal, made in minutes, while you are cooking another meal. Granola includes old-fashioned-style rolled oats, light (non-extra-virgin) olive oil, nuts, seeds, raisins, ground cinnamon, and a very small amount of light brown sugar. Using reduced-fat cheeses and milk also contributes to better health and lower medical bills. Instead of overcooking veggies to death immersed in water, steam them as brie”y as possible. They can then be eaten as is, with a little salt pepper and olive oil, or mix them with additional wholesome ingredients, such as herbs, spices etc., which further transform them into scrumptious and nutritious sides.

Buss MAC N CHEESE SLIMTASTIC2 servings  cup grated reduced-fat Parmesan cheese1‡3 cup grated reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1  cups uncooked whole grain elbow macaroni Olive oil divided: 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon dried oregano Pepper to taste Measure cheeses and place in small bowl. Chop garlic and keep on separate small plate. Set aside. Fill medium saucepan 2‡3 with water and 1 tablespoon oil. Bring to a boil and cook macaroni (covered) as directed on package. Drain. Meanwhile, place garlic with 2 tablespoons oil in small skillet over medium heat. When garlic begins to sizzle, reduce heat to medium low and stir constantly 30 seconds. Remove from burner. When pasta is done, add the garlic mixture, oregano and pepper into hot pasta. Stir in cheeses to evenly coat pasta.FRESH COOKED TOMATO SAUCEFor meatballs, over spaghetti, and more 2 servings 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 large yellow onion, chopped 1 large tomato, chopped 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped  green bell pepper, seeded, chopped 1 dried bay leaf 1 1‡2 tablespoons dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried basil Salt and pepper to taste 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cover and cook about 12 minutes, until it is translucent, stirring once or twice. Mix in all other ingredients, cover and increase heat to medium. When sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat, and cook slowly 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from stove and discard the bay leaf.HERBED MASHED POTATOES 4 servings 4 large red potatoes 4 tablespoons olive oil1‡3 cup water, or skim milk, or unsweetened soy milk 5 cloves garlic, peeled 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons low fat milk Peel cleaned potatoes. Remove the eyes and blemishes. Cut potatoes into equal bite size pieces (about  inch). Steam potatoes and whole garlic cloves 20 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain. Transfer cooked garlic and potatoes into medium pot and add all other ingredients. Mash potato mixture with hand masher until smooth. Blend all ingredients with spoon. RECIPESFor participants who provided urine specimens indicating that they had smoked, the voucher value went back to $6.25. This resetŽ „ as the researchers refer to it „ reinforces sustained abstinence and discourages brief relapses. To encourage women to keep trying to abstain following a relapse, the voucher was returned to its prior value if a woman provided two consecutive negative tests following the reset. Women could earn incentives from the date they enrolled in the study up through 12-weeks postpartum. Women who abstained throughout the 9-month intervention could earn $1,180. On average, those who received incentives were more successful at quitting. Among those who received incentives, 34 percent of those in late pregnancy through 12 weeks after birth were able to stop smoking, compared to 7 percent who did not receive incentives. And, for those who received incentives, 14 percent were still not smoking up to 12 weeks after the incentives were discontinued. This compared to 1 percent who did not receive incentives and remained cigarette-free. Average earnings in both conditions „ those who stopped 12 weeks post-partum and those who did not smoke after the incentives were discontinued „ were about $450. We found that the mean birth weight was about 200 grams greater among infants born to mothers who received the financial incentives, as was mean gestational age at delivery (by nearly a week). Women treated with incentives also breastfed longer and were less likely to experience postpartum depressive symptoms. A research study currently underway at UVM includes a clinical trial to determine the cost-effectiveness of financial incentives, relative to usual care, in improving infant health outcomes among maternal smokers. The trial will be complete by 2018.Financial incentives and vulnerable populationsThere have been a number of studies to assess whether these types of financial incentives help vulnerable populations, more generally, quit smoking. There are 31 controlled studies, published between January 1995 through October 2016, examining efficacy. Incentives produced a significant treatment effect in 28 of those 31 (90 percent) studies. That evidence should be considered in the context of a total of 176 controlled studies on financial incentives targeting a broad range of substance-use disorders, of which 151 (86 percent) studies demonstrated efficacy. While there is plenty of room for improvements, a striking amount of evidence indicates that financial incentives are as effective, if not more effective, than any other smoking cessation intervention for vulnerable populations. That being said, the effectiveness of financial incentives depends on certain features of how they are delivered. For example, incentives-based interventions are most effective when the incentives are delivered immediately following evidence of behavior change, and when the magnitude of the incentives is higher. Importantly, the potential utility and efficacy of financial incentives extends beyond smoking to a broad range of challenging health problems in vulnerable populations including prevention of unplanned pregnancies among opioid-dependent women and the increasing participation of economically disadvantaged cardiac patients in cardiac rehabilitation.SMOKINGFROM PAGE 12 Codependents support groupA codependents support group will meet from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Mondays and from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursdays at Englewood Alano Club, 2936 S.

Foxwoods at 25: More than games are afoot, 3UFOXWOODS RESORT CASINO Here come superheroes, sequels, blockbuster action and A-list stars aplenty. This years slate of summer movies is upon us, and its a busy one: Another spaceship crew falls prey to Ridley Scotts deadly extraterrestrials in the sci-“ sequel Alien: Covenant (in theaters May 19), Scarlett Johansson leads a crazy bachelorette weekend in the comedy Rough Night (June 16), Charlize Theron is one seriously deadly womanin spy thriller Atomic Blonde (July 28), and its Matthew McConaughey vs. Idris Elbain Western fantasy The Dark Tower based on the Stephen King epic (Aug. 4). Its a sea of heavy hitters and huge names, but we know its hard to see everything. So here are the 10 “lms you absolutely, positively must see this summer, from cosmic mis“ts to a sublime haunted-house tale.SUMMER MOVIE PREVIEWSUPER-HOT REASONSTO POP TO THE THEATER MARVELPeter Quill (Chris Pratt) and Yondu (Michael Rooker) team up in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 CLAY ENOSPrincess Diana (Gal Gadot) joins Charlie (Ewen Bremner) on the World War I battle“eld in Wonder Woman .From cosmic Guardians to an intimate Ghost Story, 10 summer ”icks stand out Brian Truitt@briantruitt USA TODAY v STORY CONTINUES ON 2U GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 (MAY 5)STARS:Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave BautistaDIRECTOR:James GunnTHE SKINNY:Roguish Peter Quill (Pratt) meets his long-lost father Ego (Kurt Russell) in the sequel, though part of his journey includes coming to terms with his adoptive dad, space outlaw Yondu (Michael Rooker). In the “rst one, he was a guy chasing us. And in this movie, it becomes a little more than that,Ž Pratt says of Yondu. He ends up teaming with Rocket and Baby Groot(voiced by Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, respectively), as well as with the Guardians as a whole. Yondu has made peace with this kid that hes raised and were having a good time,Ž says Rooker, adding that his character doesnt think much of Ego, who hired Yondu to scoop Peter from Earth as a boy. WONDER WOMAN (JUNE 2)STARS:Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Connie NielsenDIRECTOR:Patty JenkinsTHE SKINNY:Not only is Wonder Woman noteworthy for giving DC Comics female icon her “rst solo “lm, but also for putting its superhero in a realworld setting: World War I. Princess Diana (Gadot) of Themyscira is introduced to the world of men during the “rst mechanized war, where mankind is really pushing the boundaries of what theyre willing to do to each other,Ž says Jenkins. If you tried to do it in a more literal event that we all know the details of, it would bog it down. (It would be) an alternate reality where youre like, Thats not how Watergate went. It could be more complicated.Ž Jenkins also used the era as a way to re”ect social issues of more modern times: Shes never met men before, so she has zero understanding of sexism in kind of a hilarious way. It just seems totally absurd to her.Ž

2USA TODAY LIFE SUNDAY,APRIL9,2017 WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES (JULY 14)STARS:Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve ZahnDIRECTOR:Matt ReevesTHE SKINNY:Caesar (played via performance capture by Serkis) leads a simian bunch on an epic journey to save apekind in the third “lm, and what Reeves calls the most unlikely group youve ever seenŽ includes one human, a little girl named Nova (Amiah Miller) whom they pick up along the way. Caesar is focused on CHIABELLA JAMESTom Cruise headlines the action “lm The Mummy FRANK MASIMatt Brody (Zac Efron) is the newest recruit to a crime-“ghting lifeguard crew in the movie version of Baywatch PETER MOUNTAINHenry (Brenton Thwaites) is looking to free his dad.

Crowes Dr. Jekyll (and alter ego Mr. Hyde) is an entry point for Nick to a much larger world of gods and monstershe wasnt aware of,Ž and the Mummy herself is inspired by Boris Karlos original 1932 take, with abilities organized around the ideas of romance and entrancement,Ž Kurtzman says. She has control over and power to get into your mind, and creepy crawlies tend to like her when shes around.ŽBAYWATCH (MAY 26)STARS:Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Priyanka ChopraDIRECTOR:Seth GordonTHE SKINNY:We took something cherished by the world and leveled it up in a big way,Ž Efron says of the over-the-top reboot of the 1990s TV action drama. And crazy it is: Jet skis, explosions, guns and hand-to-hand combat are on the table for cocky new recruit Matt Brody (Efron), an Olympic gold medalist whose hiring is a PR move for the ace Baywatch lifeguard team led by Mitch Buchannon(Johnson). Brody is the outsider who rubs his new crime-“ghting crew the wrong way just as a mysterious mastermind (Chopra) emerges as a threat to the bay. It seems pretty clear to him that this job is preventing people from drowning, making sure people dont get sunburned and hanging out with hot chicks on the beach all day,Ž Efron says. And then when it turns out to be more than that, its just baing and things go sideways. Brodys lament is very fun.ŽPIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES (MAY 26)STARS:Johnny Depp, Brenton Thwaites, Kaya ScodelarioDIRECTORS:Joachim Rnning and Espen SandbergTHE SKINNY:The “fth Pirates “lm introduces the next generation of buccaneers, notably Henry Turner. Brenton Thwaites youngster, the son of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), is jailed by his crew for warning about oncoming doom „ in the form of ghostly Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem) „ and is broken out to help astronomer Carina Smyth (Scodelario) and the infamous Jack Sparrow (Depp) “nd the Trident of Poseidon. Hes a guy who wants to do good and help people,Ž Thwaites says. While Henrys belief in the supernatural and mythologies gets him in trouble, his priority is an honorable one: free his dad from his servitude aboard the Flying Dutchman. DESPICABLE ME 3 (JUNE 30)STARS:Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Trey ParkerDIRECTORS:Pierre Con and Kyle BaldaTHE SKINNY:The “rst Despicable Me had the supervillain Gru (voiced by Carell) gain a family, and the sequel found him falling inlove.The third chapter is all about sibling rivalry, with Gru meeting his long-lost twin brother, Dru (also Carell). Gru wishes his bro was exactly like him, but there are more dierences than just Drus ”owing hair. Dru is much more lively and earnest and silly, and Gru is much more cynical and serious in his disposition,Ž Carell says. Plus, Dru aspires to be a villain but he is not quite there yet. He de“nitely looks to his brother to guide him.Ž One new bad guy is 80sloving former child star Balthazar Bratt (Parker), while one of the Minions, Mel, stages an uprising against Gru. Adds Carell: Theres alot of upheaval in his world.ŽA GHOST STORY (JULY 7)STARS:Casey Aeck, Rooney Mara, Will OldhamDIRECTOR:David LoweryTHE SKINNY:The quiet, lyrical drama stars Aeck as a Dallas musician who dies in a car accident, haunts his house as a bedsheet-wearing phantom and has to watch as time „ and his widow (Mara) „ move on around him. Theres something somewhat perverse about this being a summer movie. It makes me laugh in the same way when I think about the fact that we made a movie with a guy in a sheet,Ž Lowery says. Instead of using a detailed character representation, audiences can project their own thoughts on this iconic image of aclassic Halloween-costume specter. There was an opportunity for a lot of humor in it, but at the same time a lot of emotion. If we could take this sheet and imbue it with some degree of humanity, we really would achieve something unique.ŽSPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING (JULY 7)STARS:Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr., Michael KeatonDIRECTOR:John WattsTHE SKINNY:The newest take on teenage Peter Parker (Holland) and his web-swinging alter ego get their share of adventure hanging out with Tony Stark (Downey) and battling the Vulture (Keaton), but he also is living the life of a kid attending a high school for the academically gifted. Peters best friend, Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon), is a sweet and genuine ber-nerd who wonders where his pal keeps going at all hours of the day. When Ned accidentally “nds out his friend is this masked hero, Batalon says, he understands Peters life and he thinks hes the one who can help him deal with being a crime “ghter and deal with girls.Ž Ned is an integral part of Peters life, Holland adds. Its nice to be able to make up excuses of why he has to get out but then share a beat with Ned and be like, Im gonna go swing through New York „ the winkwink scenario.ŽDUNKIRK (JULY 21)STARS:Fionn Whitehead, Mark Rylance, Tom HardyDIRECTOR:Christopher NolanTHE SKINNY:In creating the World War II action thriller, based on the 1940 evacuation of Allied troops trapped by Nazis on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, Nolan focused on the realŽ of every aspect: putting an IMAX camera on an actual Spit“re plane, ”oating cameramen in the water with actors, and creating unpredictability and suspense. Its not a sentimental “lm, but the subject matter itself is very weighted with emotion,Ž Nolan says. Dunkirk is so far the epitome of his career: Its very important to me, so I didnt want to take on this subject until I had a lot of experience with large-scale “lmmaking.Ž revenge and facing o with the deadly Colonel (Harrelson), but Nova may be the one who keeps the great ape on the right path. The war has been so brutal and has brought him to places where he has these feelings about humans that hes never had,Ž Reeves says of Caesar. And yet theres this other part of us that knows that, for the lack of a better word, because its really about empathy, there is a humanity to Caesar that is just inescapable. And so the girl represents a part of himself that he has to push away if he s going to be “erce.ŽUSA TODAYis committed to accuracy.

MASHANTUCKET, CONN.Michael and Diane Engel choose to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary at Vue 24 at Foxwoods Resort Casino. The couple from Sayville, N.Y., arent just here for the view of the hundreds of acres of Connecticut woods belonging to the Mashantucket Pequot Native American tribe. Michael wants to gamble and Diane wants to try the cuisine of celebrity chefs such as Guy Fieri. She also wants to shop at Tanger Outlets and catch a show or two. Most recently, Alicia Keys performed at Foxwoods. Weve been coming here since the 1990s,Ž says Michael, over their meal of lamb and “let mignon. She doesnt like to gamble. I like to gamble.Ž Says Diane over cake that the restaurant brings over to celebrate their anniversary. I like the food and the entertainment.ŽThe Engels are the sweet spot for this casino resort that made its debut25 years ago and sparked awave of East Coast gambling opportunities for hospitality giants such as Wynn and MGM.It used to be that anyone who wanted a combination of gambling and entertainment had to go to Las Vegas or Atlantic City. Now, 40 states have gaming of some sort, whether it be walk-inand-out casinos or major resorts that support gambling. The East Coast, which once was dominated by Atlantic City, now has gaming in almost every state. In Massachusetts, Wynn Resorts is developing a “ve-star luxury resort and casino in Everett outside of Boston. MGM Resorts International is slated to open a resort in Spring“eld next year. Last year, MGM National Harbor openedin Maryland just outside of Washington, D.C. Its really indicative that gaming has become the mainstream of American culture,Ž says Erik Balsbaugh, vice president of public aairs at the American Gaming Association. Its no longer this little island outpost of Las Vegas and Atlantic City.Ž For years, some states lawmakers resisted gaming, saying it would compromise their morals. Political “ g hts ensued, as some politicians were persuaded by the “nancial windfall gaming could provide. There are de“nitely more casinos than there were “ve years ago,Ž says Dave Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Because their neighbors have it and they want to recapture the revenue that is leavin g their state.Ž Just like Vegas, casinos on the East Coast have had to reinvent themselves. They can no longer just focus on gamblers. Rather, they have to diversify and attract those who want to spend as much money on food and entertainment as they do on slots and poker tables. Its just a well thought-out package,Ž says Monique Sebastian, vice president of entertainment and entertainment marketing at Foxwoods. I have eight dierent options and I never have to leave the building.Ž Foxwoods recently welcomed celebrity chef Fieri to its lineup. Cat Cora, of Iron Chef America fame, is opening a wine bar soon. David Burke already has a steakhouse. To appeal to families, the resort oers special programming during school breaks. To take advantage of its outdoor space, Foxwoods is experimenting with Coachella-like music festivals. To appeal to Millennials, those younger travelers who will become the lar g est spendin g demographic in a few years, Foxwoods has added the Shrine nightclub and a tattoo parlor called King Ink by celebrity tattooist Mario Barth. Theres a high-end bowling alley called High Rollers Luxury Lanes and Lounge. The resort also will host its version of Comic Con, called CommiCONN. Thats the future,Ž says Sebastian. When we look at the next generation, they are amenitydriven. Gaming comes second.Ž On a recent Wednesday night, The Scorpion Bar is “lled with patrons who do not even gamble. Instead, they are there for a highenergy karaoke face-o of Katy Perry and Shania Twain songs. Its really built up a following of people who want to show o,Ž says Kyle Norman, a regular. Its consistently a good turnout. I dont generally come down to gamble. Thats not for me. Its nice to have a lot of things going on in one location.Ž Its exactly the kind of attitude that Foxwoods CEO Felix Rappaport wants to hear. Competition is all the way around us,Ž he says. We really followed the Las Vegas trend and try to make it a more integrated resort.Ž Plans are in place to add a zip line and water park and other family friendly activities. We really view ourselves as being in the entertainment business,Ž Rappaport says. Nearby Mohegan Sun also has changed with the times. Gaming is a commodity at this point,Ž says Ray Pineault, president and general manager of the resort. Now Foxwoods is looking to expand its brand, even partnering with Mohegan Sun to open a satellite property. Well have more than gamin g ,Ž Pineault sa y s.

Rikers Island could become a key cog for New Yorks LaGuardia Airport. At least thats one vision for the island thats included in a city-sponsored proposal on what to with the notorious incarceration island that sits next to the airport. The report „ from the Independent Commission on New York City Criminal Justice and Incarceration Reform „ follows last weeks news that New York City will shut down its campus of prisons at Rikers Island. Once that happens, New York would decide what to do with the prime real estate. One proposal calls for Rikers Island to be incorporated into the footprint of nearby LaGuardia, permitting a new runway and additional terminal space. The Island is uniquely positioned to accommodate an expanded LaGuardia Airport that would reduce delays and could serve as many as 12 million more passengers annually,Ž the commission says in its 148-page report, which looks primarily at two proposals for the land. Incorporating Rikers into LaGuardia could expand ”ight capacity by 40%, according to calculations in the report. The commissions proposal comes as an $8 billion (or more) overhaul of LaGuardia already is underway. While its not clear how easily a Rikers Island proposal could be incorporated into the existing eort, local transportation advocates say the idea is worth pursuing.

PERRYVILLE BATTLEFIELD, KY.The remote Bluegrass State park is considered one of the bestpreserved battle“elds of the Civil War, Gilbert says. Theres great hiking and a nice little visitor center,Ž he says. The battle was accidental. Confederate Gen.

U S A T O DAY LIFE SUNDAY,APRIL9,20175 BOOKS Richard Nixon has fascinated Americans, biographers and historians for the last 70 years, and, thanks to author John A. Farrell and his new book Richard Nixon: The Life (Doubleday, 752 pp., eeeg out of four), that fascination will last for at least a few more years. The fundamentals of Nixons life are well known to most Americans older than 50: the humble beginnings in Southern California; the tragic deaths of two brothers from tuberculosis; the hounding of suspected communists in Congress; the redbaiting of his political opponents; his eight years as Dwight Eisenhowers vice president; the narrow 1960 election loss to John F. Kennedy; his comeback in 1968; triumphs in Beijing and Moscow; and his ultimate humiliation in the Watergate scandal, followed by resignation from the presidency and exile. Thats a lotto pack into one volume, even one that weighs in at 750 pages, but Farrell does it while providing revelations and insights along the way. Sensitive as he was, and as insecure and easily bruised as he was, and brooding and self-centered and self-contained as he was, Nixon could not shrug o their criticism,Ž Farrell writes of Nixons political opponents. It wounded him, and he lashed back. The vicious cycle lasted all his life.Ž Nixons psychological makeup led him to conceal his big dreams, lest some member of whatever establishment he distrusted at the time „ liberals, Eastern elitists, the military or the foreign policy bureaucracy „ try to stop him. Farrell shows how that inferiority complex propelled Nixon. It brought some towering successes, such as the opening of relations with China and a nuclear arms deal with the Soviet Union, and fed some of his worst acts. Farrell devastatingly shows how Nixon sabotaged the 1968 peace talks in Paris to end the Vietnam War by using ChineseAmerican activist Anna Chennault, a staunch anti-communist, as a conduit between his presidential campaign and the South Vietnamese government. The author uncovered notes by H.R. Haldeman, a key campaign aide,that showed that candidate Nixon authorized him to wreck the deal, because Nixon was worried that successwould tilt the election to Democratic Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Given the lives and human suering at stake, and the internal discord that was ripping the United States apart, it is hard not to conclude that, of all of Richard Nixons actions in a lifetime of politics, this was the most reprehensible,Ž Farrell writes. This timely biography shows why so many people are drawing comparisons between Nixon and President Trump when it comes to presidential policies and resentments against elites. Richard Nixon: The Life falters only when it feels rushed. Near its end, a lot of details ”y by. Areader who is not steeped in Nixon lore will “nd this an extremely valuable introduction to the life and times of one of our most consequential presidents. Farrell gives us a Nixon rich in character ”aws and accomplishments, the latter fueled by his transformational vision. Its a worthy look at a fascinating president.

KATHY KUPKAAuthor John A. Farrell His well-trod life still holds some surprises for readers Christopher Knight made good on the fantasy many of us nurture at some point in our lives. He turned his back on social norms, on his job, his family, his few friends, and disappeared into the central Maine woods. There he subsisted alone for more than two decades, pilfering food and goods from nearby seasonal cabins with such survivalist skill that he passed, unseen, into local legend „ the North Pond Hermit, a longsought, long-feared phantom. The Stranger in the Woods (Knopf, 191 pp., eeeE ) is Michael Finkels intriguing account of Knights capture and confessions, and while it amasses the inv entive details of Knights solitary life, it cant quite explain the man himself. Knight is opaque „ more than a loner, hardly a lunatic. Finkel discerns hes no Thoreau seeking wisdom in Walden Pond solitude, nor is he anything like Lao-Tzu, Chinas sixth-century protester hermitŽ who poeticized the pleasures of forsaking society and living in harmony with the seasons.Ž In the course of several jailhouse interviews with Finkel while he awaits trial for an astonishing 1,080 burglaries over the course of 27 years, Knight shows himself to be a highly intelligent, unapologetic, yet gentle man with avague sense of superiority. His boyhood in Albion, Maine, revolved around gru, hardworking parents and siblings, with no particular trauma. Finkels due diligence leads him to behavioral health experts who posit that Knight may “t somewhere on the autism spectrum, but the analysis is inconclusive. Devoid of ambitions and aections, he walked away from his job as an alarm system installer in 1986, and made for the forest on the outskirts of Albion, vanishing until 2013. As the Hermit methodically broke into a North Pond cabin and helped himself to the canned food, propane, batteries and clothing he required „ he never stole valuables, sentimental objects, and never ransacked „ the police “nally collared him. The Maine courts were kind, and released him to his remainin g family. Remarkably, Knight dwelled within earshot of hikers and vacationers, yet avoided human contact after “nding an all-but-invisible clearing in a boulder-strewn part of the forest. He rigged a spacious A-frame tent, made ”ooring from bound stacks of old National Geographic magazines, and survived the worst of the Maine winter shivering beneath blankets. He read books and listened to the radio. Finkel established somethin g of a bond with Knight in the course of his visits, and by the books end he reveals to Finkel a certain ineable sadness, but little more. He has no use for the world he must re-enter, and is certain he is not going to “t in.Ž Still, Finkel speculates and ruminates, concluding that Knights retreat „ if hed managed to sustain it until he died „ might have been a lesson in existential purity and perfection, a rare disappearance into egoless silence. Yet lacking the passion or psychopathy of a compelling literary character, Knight seems but a ”ickering candle, a willfully lost soul.Stranger in the Woods details hermits taleTry as it might, book cant quite pin down lost soul Matt DamskerSpecial for USA TODAY REVIEW MAINE STATE POLICEChristopher Knight at his Maine campsite.
