STORM DAMAGE

At least one tornado struck in Grundy County Thursday night, according to Grundy County Emergency Management Director Glen Briggs. Scattered storm damage was reported over a large portion of the county, with the most significant damage noted east of Laredo, where this picture of the Mark and Kristi Urich farm was taken. The possible tornado, which has not been confirmed by the National Weather Service, followed a path that started at 37th and Onyx Lane and traveled east roughly five miles, ending near NE 45th and Highway J. If it was a tornado, Briggs said it would have been a possible F0 to F1. He said the damage east of Laredo was likely due to straightline winds that exended from north of Laredo along SE 12th to the east, crossing into Sullivan County along SE 120th. Briggs said that during the peak of the storm, at least 1,200 electric meters were without power, with some not regaining electricity until late Friday night. No injuries were reported in the storm.

COVID Funding Boosts R-9 Budget Board Hires Susan Gott As New Rissler Principal It’s not a bad time to be a public school district as an influx of funds coming from COVID-19 money is helping districts pay for items that might have been out of reach otherwise. For the Trenton R-9 School District, the funds have helped make the 2021-22 budget look pretty good after a 2020-21 year that didn’t end too bad either. The 2020-21 budget began the year with a 30.73 percent fund balance and was built on a deficit of $150,000. R-9 Superintendent Mike Stegman pointed to the closing of school for

the last three months of the 20192020 school year, which led to savings, and ESSER I and II funding coming into the district coffers this year as helping the district end the budget year on June 30 with an approximate 37 percent fund balance. This year’s budget is also intentionally built as a deficit with the addition of academic programming and supply budget lines. Even with a nearly $1,000,000 deficit, the district’s unrestricted cash should stay at the 30 percent mark. That does not take into account that the district is qualified for ESSER III funds in the amount of $2,638,446. The budget shows total anticipated revenues of $12,301,838.46 and expenditures of $13,793,857.36. Added to an end-

ing 2021 balance of $5,913,785.52, the district will be starting the year with a total balance of $18,215,623.98. The anticipated balance on June 30, 2022 is $4,421,766.62, but that does not include the earlier-mentioned $2.6 million that is anticipated to be received this year. Fund 1 (the Incidental Fund, which is unrestricted), shows total anticipated revenues of $5,100,188.32 and expected expenditures are listed at $5,118,949.94. After transfers and Title money are taken into the equation, the balance is scheduled to be $3,354,711.09. Fund 2 (the Teacher’s Fund) shows total receipts of $6,331,258.40 and expenditures of [See R-9, Page 3]

An area man lost his life in an accident Friday afternoon just north of Trenton on Highway 65. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the accident occurred when a sport utility vehicle driven by 20-year-old David Clay (Austin) Travis of Spickard was southbound on Highway 65 about two miles north of Trenton. His 2007 Suzuki sport utility vehicle crossed the center line as it was going past a 2004 Sterling AT95 truck driven by Clayton Radcliff, 25, of Trenton, which was northbound. As the two vehicles passed, the SUV struck the towed unit of Radcliff’s vehicle. It then spun off the west side of the roadway and came to rest on the shoulder, facing south. Radcliff’s vehicle, meanwhile, came to a controlled stop north of the crash. Mr. Travis was taken by Grundy County Ambulance to Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton, where he was pronounced dead. A passenger in his vehicle, 21-year-old Sean Babbitt of Humphreys, was also taken to WMH for injuries that were listed as moderate. Neither man was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Radcliff was not reported injured in the accident, which shut down both lanes of Highway 65 for a period of time before the east shoulder was opened for traffic to by-pass investigators and debris from the wreck. The Travis vehicle was totaled and was towed from the scene, while the Radcliff vehicle sustained only minor damage. The accident was investigated by Trooper K.J. Cool and Sgt. H.A. Sears of the Major Crash Investigation Unit, with assistance from Cpl. J.C. Gilliland, Cpl. D.R. Reuter, CVO R.E. Powell and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department.

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Six and a half hours in, Harris English was tired. His hamstrings hurt. His back was sore. After 80 holes in 80degree heat, he was struggling to focus. Darkness was becoming a factor. He lost count of how many holes he had played. “It’s hard to stay mentally into it,” English said Sunday after winning an eight-hole playoff — tied for the second-longest sudden death in PGA Tour history — to beat Kramer Hickok and win the Travelers Championship. “Hats off to him for a good fight,” said English, who shot a 5-under 65 to finish at 13 under and then rattled off seven pars in the playoff before holing a 16-foot birdie putt for the win. “We were both joking that somebody’s got to make a birdie sometime. I had that putt a few times, and I finally read it right.” Both players birdied the final hole in regulation to force the playoff, which is second only to the 11-hole sudden death in the 1949 Motor City Open, when Lloyd Mangrum and Cary Middlecoff were declared cowinners by mutual agreement due to darkness. Four other events have reached an eighth sudden death hole. The eight-hole playoff was a record for the tournament, which went seven holes in 1961 (Ted Kroll) and again in ’62 (Bob Goalby), when it was known as the Insurance City Open. It was the second win this year and the fourth career victory for English, who finished third at the U.S. Open last week — and fourth in the pandemic-delayed U.S. Open in September. He won $1,368,000 and 500 FedEx Cup points, moving into second in the standings. English sank a 28-footer on the

Garnett Fifth At Travelers

Gallatin native Brice Garnett closed the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, CT. Garnett carded a 2-under 68 in the final round on Sunday to push his tournament score to 10-under, tying him with Brooks Koepka, Brian Harman, Kevin Kisner and Hank Lebioda for fifth-place overall. Garnett made a 20-foot birdie putt on the par 3 eighth hole to highlight his final round. The tie for fifth was his best finish on the PGA Tour this season. The finish moved him from 130th to 109th in the FedEx Cup standings. 72nd hole to emerge from a threeway tie and finish at 13 under. Then he headed to the range to stay warm in case Hickock, who was minus-12 with two holes to play, could catch him. The 29-year-old Texan, who had never won on the PGA Tour, couldn’t convert a 39-foot birdie putt on the 17th, but he knocked in a nine-footer for birdie on No. 18 to match English. They played 18 again — twice — and parred it again — twice. On to No. 17, then 18, then 17, then 18, then 18 again: All pars. Hickok lipped out on two long birdie putts that would have won it; on the sixth playoff hole, English missed a seven-foot birdie putt to win. The crowd at the 18th green chanted “Kramer!” and did the wave while it waited for the golfers to head back and forth to the tee. On the final trip down the 438-yard par 4 — their seventh of the day and 10th of the weekend — Hickok put his second shot 28 feet from the pin and twoputted. English landed his approach 16 feet away and made birdie. “I don’t know how many it went,”

English said afterward. “That was incredible. What an experience, and the fans were awesome. They’re always great here in Hartford, and glad we got to give them a little show at the end.” Hickok has never won on the PGA Tour. The second-place finish was his best ever, topping a tie for eighth in the 2018 Bermuda Championship — his only other time in the top 10. “I learned that I belong,” said Hickok, who was joined after the round by his wife and his puppy, Elvis. “It was a huge learning experience for me." Four players were tied at 12 under after Bubba Watson bogeyed the 14th. But the three-time Travelers winner played the last five holes at six over to drop out of the chase. “I’m glad that I was there, had the opportunity,” Watson said. “You know, I would love to do it again next week, throw up on myself again. It would it be great. I want to the opportunity and the chance to win.” Watson’s collapse left Hickok — his 54-hole co-leader —- on top at 12 under with English and Marc Leishman, who had finished his round with a 64 two hours earlier. English finished the fourth round birdie-bogey-birdie, skipping after the ball and pumping his fist after the final hole of regulation. Hickok’s celebration was even more emphatic. But there was still a playoff to come. “I never thought I’d be playing 27 holes today,” Hickok said. “I was just trying to put as much pressure on him as possible. He was trying to do the same. I put him in uncomfortable spots, he put me in some too, and he came out on top today, and that’s a true champion.” Abraham Ancer (65) was fourth at minus-11. Kevin Kisner had his second 63 of the tournament to tie for fifth at 10 under with Brooks Koepka (65), Gallatin native Brice Garnett (65) and two others.

Busch Ends Hendrick Run LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Kyle Busch had a Joe Gibbs Racing team member slide in his Toyota through the window and he tried to figure out how to mend a fried stick shifter welded in fourth gear. It's rare a NASCAR driver has a passenger in the car, so Busch made small talk on the pit stop with car chief Nate Bellows. “Wait,” Busch said, “you don't want to go with me?” The Toyota never really did get fixed. There were 115 miles to the Pocono finish, Busch had a fried clutch, only one gear and had to rush his car chief out of the car. But he had a full tank of gas, so he hit it. Busch came through in the clutch — even when he raced without one — and busted Hendrick Motorsports’ winning streak and denied the organization a shot at NASCAR history when he raced to his second victory of the season Sunday. “Put as much as gas in it as we can, pack that thing full, we're going to run it

out the rest of the day,” Busch said. Busch stretched his fuel in his broken Toyota and outlasted late leaders William Byron and JGR teammate Denny Hamlin as they saw their shot at the checkered flag disappear over the final few laps when they ran out of gas. “Sometimes these races aren’t always won by the fastest car,” Busch said. Sometimes they're won by a car that could use a push to victory lane. “We're going down the front straightaway and I'm like, damn, `I wish I could clutch it,'” Busch said. “I didn't have one. I probably could have done a better job saving fuel but I was just lifting off the gas instead of being able to clutch it.” Busch was on the brink of snapping Hendrick's winning streak with a runner-up finish to Alex Bowman in Saturday's Pocono twinbill opener. He couldn't get the help he needed Saturday with the right push. But he got the critical pit road assist Sunday and then drove the final 46 laps on the 2 1/2-mile oval knowing another stop in the pits would end his race. “It took some brute force

to hold that thing back, to hold it in,” Busch said. Busch raced without a care early and sang a few bars of “Fly Like An Eagle” over the radio. His 59th career Cup victory will go down as one of Busch's greatest hits. NASCAR's career wins leader in all series has 100 in Xfinity and 61 in Trucks. Sorry Steve Miller, Busch said his karaoke song of choice is “The Real Slim Shady,” a fitting choice for the M&M's driver. Kyle Larson, whose blown tire on the last lap cost him a win Saturday, was second for Hendrick Motorsports. Hendrick had won six straight Cup races, capped by Bowman’s third win over his last 10 races. Hendrick was trying to become the first team since NASCAR’s modern era began in 1972 to win seven straight races. Bowman started the streak in May at Dover and Chase Elliott followed the next week at Texas. Larson then ripped off three straight points victories at Charlotte, Sonoma and last week at Nashville — and squeezed in the $1 million All-Star race for four wins, total — all while Hendrick Motorsports became the winningest organization in NASCAR history. Brad Keselowski was third, Kevin Harvick fourth and Bubba Wallace was fifth in his best finish of the season for Michael Jordan’s 23IX team. Hamlin faded to 14th. “Fuel mileage got us the last two weeks,” Hamlin said.

$7,271,994.67. That fund is always zeroed out at the end of the year and the money expected to be transfered is around $940,736.27. Fund 3 (Debt Service, used to pay bonds) shows an estimate of $857,891.74 in total revenue (coming from the 90cent levy for bond payments), added to a July 1 balance of $1,291.798.05 for a total balance to begin the year of $2,149,689.79. Expenditures are $616,390 for an anticipated June 30, 2022 balance of $1,533,299.79. Fund 4 is capital projects and with the approved transfer, those funds will be used toward building enhancements such as the camera system, the personal protection system (see below), iReady math and reading, etc. In his budget message, Stegman said the figures are very conservative in considering revenue but t could change if state revenues change. He said he is very pleased with the financial outlook for the current year but is wary of how the current influx of pandemic funding could have a negative effect on the next few years. “My greatest fear is how the pandemic influx of funding could eventually turn into a funding shortfall in a couple of years,” he wrote. “Continued diligence in spending will be very important as we watch

how the future develops for educational funding. We will have to be very prudent and conservative with our spending throughout this period and work very hard to maintain our public school structure in a way that best supports our mission to provide for students.” In other business, the board approved a proposal from SafeDefend for a personal protection system as had been demonstrated at the June regular meeting. The proposal was for $183,780 plus an additional $48,135.42 from Quality Network Solutions for wiring. Stegman told trustees that there will be an annual fee that will decrease after the first five years. There was discussion on how substitute teachers will be trained to use the system. Following a closed session, the board hired Susan Gott to serve as the principal of Rissler Elementary School. Mrs. Gott has been a first grade teacher at the school and will replace Tiffany Otto, who resigned earlier this month. Other personnel decisions made Monday morning included accepting the resignation of Marissa Cowan, a sixth grade math teacher, and hiring several coaches and paraprofessionals. David Shockley will be the new head high school baseball coach, with Jon Guthrie hired as the assistant baseball coach as well as the head middle school football coach.

The board also set the tax levy hearing for 5:25 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 10, which is the next regular meeting, although it was announced that there may be special meetings needed in July to handle personnel matters.

ACROSS MISSOURI The Capitol Re eportt REP. RUSTY BLACK Room 115 State Capitol Building 201 W. Capitol Avenue Jefferson City, MO 65101 E-mail: rusty.black@house.mo.gov

573-751-2917 NEWS FROM THE SEVENTH DISTRICT Hello 7th District: A few weeks ago I had the honor of presenting a courtesy resolution to another outstanding constituent of the 7th district. Claire Shipp, a student at the University of Missouri-Columbia, has distinguished herself as a 2021 Truman Scholar. Claire was one of 62 college students from 51 U.S. colleges and universities to receive the Truman Scholarship. Ms. Shipp is very active on campus, as she is the youngest executive director of the Associated Students of the University Of Missouri (ASUM). She is a bright young lady and I feel privileged just to know her. Here are a few pieces of legislation that the House passed this session: Second Amendment Preservation Act Signed into Law (HBs 85 & 310) Lawmakers took action during the 2021 legislative session to protect the Second Amendment rights of Missourians against an overreaching federal government. This week Gov. Parson signed the legislation approved by the General Assembly to create the Second Amendment Preservation Act. The act is meant to protect law-abiding gun owners from potential gun control legislation that could be passed in Washington, D.C. It states that laws and other actions that prohibit the manufacture, ownership, and use of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition within Missouri exceed the powers granted to the federal government. It also declares that all federal laws, acts, and orders that infringe on Missourians’ second amendment rights are invalid in the state. Gov. Parson said the bill “draws a line in the sand and demonstrates our commitment to reject any attempt by

the federal government to circumvent the fundamental right Missourians have to keep and bear arms to protect themselves and their property.” The bill prohibits state and local cooperation with federal officials that attempt to enforce any laws, rules, orders, or actions that violate the Second Amendment rights of Missourians. Additionally, the bill is an acknowledgment that the right to keep and bear arms is fundamental and inalienable, and that the nation's federalist constitutional structure limits the federal government's authority over states. Under the bill, any person or entity who knowingly deprives Missouri citizens of their right to bear arms - as protected by state and federal constitutions - will be liable for redress and monetary damages of $50,000 per occurrence. Local law enforcement’s ability to assist federal officials in other instances remains unchanged under the new law. Parson said the bill “puts those in Washington D.C. on notice that here in Missouri we support responsible, lawabiding gun owners, and that we oppose government overreach and any unlawful efforts to limit our access to firearms.” New House Committee Launches Effort to Improve Broadband Access A newly-formed committee is taking on the challenge of finding ways to improve access to broadband internet in Missouri. Formed by House Speaker Rob Vescovo, the Interim Committee on Broadband Development will spend the next several months gathering data and testimony as it works toward policy recommendations that will make high speed internet more available and affordable. The chair of the commit-

tee said, “As we are all well aware, the recent pandemic demonstrated that highspeed, broadband internet can no longer be considered a luxury, it has become a necessity, a necessity that far too many Missourians have done, and continue to do, without. “ He added that the committee will “study where we are as a state in 2021, where we need to be, and what steps we will need to take as policy makers and appropriators to ensure that broadband internet is readily available to every Missourian who wants it.” He said the committee plans to examine three core areas: access, speed, and affordability. During its first hearing on June 10, committee members heard from the director of the Office of Broadband Development, which works to expand and accelerate broadband deployment in Missouri. The director noted there are 392,000 Missourians who lack highspeed internet, either because it’s not available or they can’t afford it. Right now Missouri ranks in the bottom five for access to low-cost internet with only 55 percent of Missourians having access to a low-cost internet plan. The committee will continue to meet each month throughout the interim to gather information from subject matter experts, Federal officials, statewide associations, internet providers, and from the general public. The committee will take written testimony, live testimony and remote testimony between now and December 1. Based on the information gathered, the committee will prepare a report and generate policy options and appropriations requests before the end of 2021. As always, if you have any questions, comments or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact my office at the following: Phone: 573-751-2917 E m a i l : rusty.black@house.mo.gov Social Media: Twitter: @rep_rusty Facebook: Rusty Black My legislative assistant, Ashley Wright, or I will be happy to assist in any way that we can. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve the 7th District of the Missouri House of Representatives.

Bill To Renew Key Missouri Medicaid Funding Tax Advances JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri senators advanced a bill to renew a key tax for Medicaid funding late Friday after hours of debate over coverage of family planning services. The GOP-led Senate in a voice vote gave the tax bill initial approval. The bill needs another Senate vote to move to the House. Senators were able to advance the bill after some Republicans joined with Democrats to vote down a proposal by GOP Sen. Bob Onder that sought to cut off any government money for Planned Parenthood. Missouri already bans any Medicaid funding from being used to pay for abortions. But the Missouri Supreme Court last year overturned another provision in a state budget law forbidding Medicaid reimbursements to any Planned

Parenthood clinic, even those that don’t provide abortions. “No taxpayer should be forced to participate in the evil of abortion,” Onder told colleagues during debate on the Senate floor Friday. Onder framed his proposal as a test of fellow Republicans' beliefs on abortion, which GOP Sen. Mike Cierpiot called “outrageous.” Cierpiot was among several Republicans who raised concerns that blocking all Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, without first getting a waiver from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, could violate federal rules and put billions of dollars in federal Medicaid funding at risk. “It is the opposite of a pro-life move,” Cierpiot said. “It is going to threaten

PROTECTING OUR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS Part of getting through, and moving past, a pandemic includes making sure small businesses are not adversely affected. Unfortunately, we lost too many great businesses during the past year due to either a direct correlation to the coronavirus or because of economic reasons that also relate to the pandemic. While some of these could not have been avoided, there are measures that could be taken to protect those who stepped up when our state needed them the most. Throughout this year’s regular legislative session, lawmakers spent time on a measure aimed at keeping frivolous lawsuits from getting filed against business owners in relation to COVID19. While no legislation is perfect, I believe Senate Bill

51 goes a long way toward curbing excessive legal actions against our state’s businesses. Under this legislation, a person would have to prove clear and convincing evidence that an individual or entity engaged in reckless or willful misconduct that caused actual exposure to COVID-19. In addition, they would have to prove the exposure caused personal injury to the person. Medical professionals would also be included, if SB 51 were to become law. The same rules would apply here. Someone would have to prove reckless or willful misconduct on the part of a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional in order to sue. Most importantly, to me, SB 51 makes sure no church or religious organization

change the definition of water to give themselves more power to regulate land. That’s crazy. We replaced President Obama’s rule in 2019 with the Navigable Waters Protection Rule, which fairly balanced the needs to protect our waterways with the rights of landowners, farmers, and ranchers to manage their own land. Simply put, it gave the EPA the power to reasonably regulate waterways but didn’t give them the power to regulate land as “waters of the United States.” It was a common-sense rule. Now, the Biden EPA sure looks like it wants to undo all of that. They say they don’t want to go back to the old WOTUS rule, but if you listen closely, their talk sounds a

whole lot like what the Obama EPA was saying right before they dropped the WOTUS bombshell on us. In other words, they want to give the old rule a new name and the same goal—to give the EPA the power to regulate farmland. It’s little more than a land grab, giving government bureaucrats control over family farms that have been managed responsibly for generations. That isn’t just wrong, it’s a boneheaded idea. After all, I know American farmers can better manage their land than a bunch of bureaucrats working in nondescript office buildings in Washington. I want to send a clear message to the President and his administration: any attempt to revive the Obama

funds for the most vulnerable people in this state.” The latest version of the bill also includes a ban on Medicaid spending on any medications or devices “used for the purpose of inducing an abortion.” Lawmakers for months have been trying to extend the tax on hospitals, pharmacies, nursing homes and ambulances, which expires Sept. 30. They failed to do so during the regular legislative session that ended last month because of fighting over family planning. Republican Gov. Mike Parson called lawmakers back this week for the lastminute special session. He has threatened to cut $722 million from the state budget July 1 if lawmakers don’t reup a tax on hospitals and other medical providers by then.

could be held liable without proving intentional misconduct. We saw so many churches get shut down over the past year due to fears over having more than six or eight people in a room at the same time. As critical as our small businesses and medical professionals are, it was vital to many of my colleagues and me to make sure our churches are protected from unnecessary lawsuits stemming from the pandemic. A lot of time and energy was placed on not only getting SB 51 to the finish line, but also to see to it the proposal does its best to protect necessary aspects of our lives without forbidding people from taking whatever steps they feel necessary to right a wrong. I hope the governor agrees and signs SB 51 into law in the near future. As always, please feel free to call, email or write with your ideas or concerns.

STRAIGHT TALK WITH SAM Sixth District U.S. Rep. Sam Graves 1415 Longworth House Bldg. Washington D.C. 20515 Phone: 202-225-7041 FARMERS WON’T BACK DOWN FROM A FIGHT Here’s something I thought I’d never have to say: Obama’s WOTUS is back. It seems like a bad nightmare, but it’s true. The Obama EPA’s Waters

of the United States rule, better known as WOTUS, was one of the worst examples of federal overreach we’ve seen in a generation. That rule would have dramatically expanded what constitutes a “water of the United States” and given the EPA authority to regulate more than 99 percent of Missouri farmland. You read that right, they were going to

WOTUS rule will be met with serious opposition in Congress and from farmers and ranchers across America. This is a direct assault on family farms and we won’t just sit down, shut up, and let this happen—just like we aren’t going to sit quietly as this Administration tries to supercharge the death tax and ram discriminatory relief programs down our throats. These attacks on the very people that work endless hours to feed this nation are unacceptable. Farmers are tough, it’s in our blood. We can take a licking and keep on ticking, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to back down from a fight. We already “ditched the rule” once—and we’ll do it again.

CHURCH ACTIVITIES

Churches Cancel VBS A Vacation Bible School that was to be held this week has been cancelled. Wesley United Methodist, First Christian Church and Hodge Presbyterian Church made the decision to cancel their joint Vacation Bible School sched-

The Trenton Rotary Club finished up its 2020-21 program year during the June 24 meeting held at the BTC Bank community room. Kim Washburn presided at the meeting, Dan Wilford gave the prayer and Chris Hoffman was the sergeant at arms. Mrs. Washburn gave a recap of the year, which saw the club unable to meet in person until Aug. 6 due to COVID. Meetings were held outside while the weather was nice and social distancing was practiced once the meetings were moved indoors. The first community program presentation was given at the Nov. 1 meeting, with programs continuing since that time. While the club was unable to hold the Missouri Day Parade, members did conduct the annual fish fry in September as a drivethrough event, with money raised being used to sup-

port Rotary International projects. The club raised/donated more money/shoes to the Shoes for Orphan Souls project than has been done in the past five years. The highlight of the year was a program in April where 12 members were recognized as Paul Harris Fellow recipients, putting the club at 100 percent Paul Harris membership. The club will also be helping the Kiwanis Club with putting up US flags at the courthouse on Flag Day. Mrs. Washburn then passed the gavel to the new president Brian Upton, who challenged club members to look for projects in which the club can become involved in within the community, providing “sweat equity” and helping those in need. He also said he has been gathering information regarding a possible grant project, with

Rescuers: Survivors Could Still Be Inside Collapsed Building SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) — Rescue workers digging for a fifth day into the remnants of a collapsed Florida condo building stressed Monday that they could still find survivors in the rubble, a hope family members clung to even though no one has been pulled out alive since the first hours after the structure fell. Another body was recovered overnight, bringing the confirmed death toll to 10. But more than 150 people are still missing in Surfside. Their families rode buses Sunday to a nearby site to watch the intense rescue effort, which included firefighters, sniffer dogs and search experts using radar and sonar devices. Early Monday, a crane lifted a large slab of concrete from the debris pile, enabling about 30 rescuers in hard hats to move in and carry smaller pieces of debris into red buckets, which are emptied into a larger bin for a crane to remove. The work has been complicated by intermittent rain showers, but the fires that hampered the initial search have been extinguished. Andy Alvarez, a deputy incident commander with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that rescuers have been able to find some voids inside the wreckage, mostly in the basement and the parking garage. “We have over 80 rescuers at a time that are breaching the walls that collapsed, in a frantic effort to try to rescue those that are still viable and to get to those voids that we typically know exist in these buildings,” Alvarez said. “We have been able to tunnel through the building,” Alvarez added. “This is a frantic search to seek that hope, that miracle, to see who we can bring out of this building alive." Others who have seen the wreckage up close were daunted by the task ahead. Alfredo Lopez, who lived with his wife in a sixth-floor corner apartment and narrowly escaped, said he finds it hard to believe anyone is alive in

the rubble. "If you saw what I saw: nothingness. And then, you go over there and you see, like, all the rubble. How can somebody survive that?” Lopez told The Associated Press. Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Nachman Shai, head of a humanitarian delegation from Israel that includes several search-and-rescue experts, said professionals have told him of cases where survivors were found after 100 hours or more. “So don’t lose hope, that’s what I would say,” he said. Some families had hoped their visit to the site near the 12-story building would enable them to shout messages to loved ones possibly buried inside the pile. As they returned to a nearby hotel, several paused to embrace as they got off the bus. Others walked slowly with arms around each other back to the hotel entrance. “We are just waiting for answers. That’s what we want,” said Dianne Ohayon, whose parents, Myriam and Arnie Notkin, were in the building. “It’s hard to go through these long days and we haven’t gotten any answers yet.” The building collapsed just days before a deadline for condo owners to start making steep payments toward more than $9 million in repairs that had been recommended nearly three years earlier, in a report that warned of “major structural damage." Authorities on Sunday identified the additional four people who have been recovered as Leon Oliwkowicz, 80, and his wife, Christina Beatriz Elvira Oliwkowicz, 74; and Ana Ortiz, 46, and her son Luis Bermudez, 26. The number of people left unaccounted for was 152. Miami-Dade Assistant Fire Chief Raide Jadallah explained that conditions at the site have frustrated crews looking for survivors. Alan Cominsky, chief of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department, said his team must

move slowly and methodically. “The debris field is scattered throughout, and it’s compact, extremely compact,” he said, noting that teams must stabilize and shore up debris as they go. “We can’t just go in and move things erratically, because that’s going to have the worst outcome possible,” he said. Among the tools rescuers used was a microwave radar device developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab and the Department of Homeland Security that “sees” through up to 8 inches (20 centimeters) of solid concrete, according to Adrian Garulay, CEO of Spec Ops Group, which sells them. The suitcase-size device can detect human respiration and heartbeats and was being deployed Sunday by a seven-member search-and-rescue team from Mexico’s Jewish community. Six to eight teams are actively searching the pile at any given time, with hundreds of team members on standby ready to rotate in. Teams have worked around the clock since Thursday, said Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. Crews spent Saturday night digging a trench that stretches 125 feet long, 20 feet across and 40 feet deep (38 meters long, 6 meters across and 12 meters deep), which, she said, allowed them to find more bodies and human remains. Earl Tilton, who runs a search-and-rescue consulting firm in North Carolina, said rushing into the rubble without careful planning and execution could injure or kill rescuers and the people they are trying to save. “Moving the wrong piece of debris at the wrong time could cause it to fall” on workers and crush them, he said. But Tilton agreed that families were not wrong to hold out hope. During past urban rescues, he said, rescuers have found survivors as long as a week past the initial catastrophe.

US Airstrikes Target Iran-backed Militias In Syria, Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military, under the direction of President Joe Biden, carried out airstrikes against what it said were “facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups” near the border between Iraq and Syria, drawing condemnation from Iraq's military and calls for revenge by the militias. Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said the militias were using the facilities to launch unmanned aerial vehicle attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq. It was the second time the administration has taken military action in the region since Biden took over earlier this year, but there is no indication that Sunday's attacks were meant as the start of a

wider, sustained U.S. air campaign in the border region. Kirby said the U.S. military targeted three operational and weapons storage facilities — two in Syria and one in Iraq. In its release of videos of the strikes by Air Force F-15 and F-16 aircraft, the Pentagon described one target as a coordination center for the shipment and transfer of advanced conventional weapons. Kirby said the airstrikes were “defensive,” saying they were launched in response to the attacks by militias. “The United States took necessary, appropriate, and deliberate action designed to limit the risk of escalation

— but also to send a clear and unambiguous deterrent message,” Kirby said. The Pentagon said the facilities were used by Iranbacked militia factions, including Kata’ib Hezbollah and Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada. A Pentagon spokeswoman, Navy Cmdr. Jessica McNulty, said Monday that each strike hit its intended target and that the U.S. military was still assessing the results of the operation. “The targets selected were facilities utilized by the network of Iran-backed militia groups responsible for the series of recent attacks against facilities housing U.S. personnel in Iraq,” McNulty said. She said those groups have conducted at least five such "one-way” drone attacks since April. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, speaking to reporters in Rome on Monday, said Biden has been clear that the U.S. will act to protect American personnel. “This action in self-defense to do what’s necessary

to do to prevent further attacks, I think sends a very important and strong message. And I hope very much that it is received,” he said. “I think we’ve demonstrated with the actions taken last night and actions taken previously, that the president is fully prepared to act and act appropriately and deliberately to protect us.“ Two Iraqi militia officials told The Associated Press in Baghdad that four militiamen were killed in the airstrikes near the border with Syria. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to give statements. They said the first strike hit a weapons storage facility inside Syrian territory, where the militiamen were killed. The second strike hit the border strip. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based group that closely monitors the Syrian conflict through activists on the ground, reported that at least seven Iraqi militiamen were killed in the airstrikes. The Iran-backed Iraqi

militia factions vowed revenge for the attack and said in a joint statement they would continue to target U.S. forces. “We ... will avenge the blood of our righteous martyrs against the perpetrators of this heinous crime and with God's help we will make the enemy taste the bitterness of revenge,” they said. The Popular Mobilization Forces, an Iraqi statesanctioned umbrella of mostly Shiite militias — including those targeted by the U.S. strikes — said their men were on missions to prevent infiltration by the Islamic State group and denied the presence of weapons warehouses. Iraq's military condemned the strikes as a “blatant and unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty and national security.” It called for avoiding escalation, but also rejected that Iraq be an “arena for settling accounts" — a reference to the U.S. and Iran. It represented rare condemnation by the Iraqi military of U.S. airstrikes. In Iran, foreign ministry

spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh accused the U.S. of creating instability in the region. “Definitely, what the U.S. is doing is disrupting the security of the region," he said on Monday. U.S. military officials have grown increasingly alarmed over drone strikes targeting U.S. military bases in Iraq, which became more common since a U.S.-directed drone killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani near the Baghdad airport last year. Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was also killed in the attack. The strike drew the ire of mostly Shiite Iraqi lawmakers and prompted parliament to pass a nonbinding resolution to pressure the Iraqi government to oust foreign troops from the country. Sunday's strikes mark the second time the Biden administration launched airstrikes along the Iraq-Syria border region. In February, the U.S. launched airstrikes against facilities in Syria, near the Iraqi border, that it said were used by Iranianbacked militia groups.

Dear Annie: I recently attended a wedding where one woman and her spouse brought their six kids. Additionally, there were countless other children. There was an appetizer table set up while the wedding party had photos taken, and the children acted like they hadn't eaten in weeks. They also ran, played tag and generally acted like it was a game to see who could take the most from the table. They did not get food and then find a seat to settle down and eat. An 86-yearold man, family to the groom, actually left before the meal, as he was concerned someone would make him fall! There was a cash bar there as well. I, too, left early -- and I am the parent of one of the people being married. The children were already running without any parental supervision, and I did not think alcohol in the mix was going to improve the situation. Was I wrong to just ignore the hordes of children running through the dance floor and dashing under

tables? I did not know all the people to ask them to control their children, but I also did not feel it was my place -- Confused Southerner Dear Confused Southerner: I'm sorry that you had to experience that. I don't think it really matters if it's 1920 or 2020; allowing children at a wedding to take all of the food and run around as if it's recess on a playground is incredibly rude. Their parents should have stopped them and explained that they need to be respectful during a wedding and that it is an honor to be invited. In hindsight, you should have said something to the parents of the children -- politely and firmly. Dear Annie: I live in a condo with my husband, and the neighbor next door keeps coming out of her apartment to investigate who's at our residence, or she comes out when we have company and rudely interrupts our gathering. She always has to know who is there and what we are doing. She purposely eavesdrops

on our conversations and has called our landlord. She even called the police, giving false statements that my husband and I were fighting. We have been threatened by the landlord that we have to move out if we don't stop, despite our explaining that there is no fighting. We don't bother her, and we do not have any other issues with her. We have tried to get along with her and even told her she does not need to come out every time we have company. I have started documenting her actions, and since I get along with all the other neighbors in the building, I am going to get statements from them as well. She doesn't talk to us, but she continues to come out to investigate. What is the best advice to get her to stop the unnecessary invasion of privacy? What is my next step? -Tired of Nosey Neighbor Dear Tired of Nosy Neighbor: Your next step is to talk to her. Ask her to kindly mind her own business. If she does not, then you can continue what you are doing and document her snooping. You have every right to feel comfortable in your own home and don't need to put up with someone intruding on your personal space.

Prime Day is prime of less than $10 million — had a 21% increase. Such strong sales happened even as discounts were relatively muted. The report also found the conversion rate from browsers to buyers was stronger at retailers that let shoppers buy online and pick up at the store. Typically, Amazon holds Prime Day in July. Amazon moved it earlier due to the Olympics, which start next month and grabs people’s attention. Last year, it postponed Prime Day to October because of the pandemic. It used the sales event to kickoff holiday shopping early.

Total online sales during Amazon’s 48-hour Prime Day exceeded $11 billion, a 6.1% jump compared to last year’s event, says Adobe Analytics. According to the report, large retailers like Walmart and Target who held their own sales were successful during the event that kicked off Monday. But smaller retailers are catching up as consumers comparison shop more. Large retailers — those with annual online sales of at least $1 billion — benefited from a strong halo effect. They enjoyed a 29% sales increase over an average June day, Adobe says. In comparison, smaller retailers — with annual online sales
