“This reserve will allow a backstop against a po tential revenue shortfall and will provide a safeguard until the full fiscal implications of Act 52 are under stood,” the oversight board said.

Fiscal board: New tax regime may curtail gov’t revenues

By THE STAR STAFF

The net impact on revenue collections from Act 52, however, is highly uncertain. The oversight board estimates, for instance, that Act 52 may have a nega tive impact on commonwealth revenues of as much as $143 million in year one, in certain scenarios. The over sight board said the government, in an effort to maintain revenue neutrality and enable the board to certify that Act 52 is not significantly inconsistent with the Fiscal Plan, must first segregate $250 million from prior year surpluses and set it aside to fund a potential shortfall in collections from the new regime.

Second, the government must agree that imple mentation of any additional tax incentives for physicians will not occur until an administrative order is drafted by the government and approved by the oversight board which includes assurances of sufficient guardrails to ne gate the physician tax incentives provision’s potential negative fiscal implications.

The oversight board also said it finds the increase in the conservation easement tax credit from $3 mil lion to $15 million in Act 52 particularly troubling. As one of the measures to maintain revenue neutrality in a prior law, Act 40-2020, the island Legislature reduced the authorized annual limit of conservation easement tax credits from $15 million to $3 million.

The oversight board said it supports efforts to re form the Puerto Rico Tax Revenue Code to ensure stable collections and promote fiscal responsibility and trans parency.“As the multinational companies currently subject to Act 154 consist of several of the largest taxpayers in Puerto Rico, it is imperative that the Commonwealth successfully implement a new tax regime for these com panies impacted by the loss of federal creditability of Act 154 tax payments,” the oversight board said in a recentThestatement.companies represent key industries that have made significant capital investments in Puerto Rico and generate a significant part of Puerto Rico’s gross domes tic product, the board pointed out. In fiscal year 2021, those companies and their more than 36,000 employ ees in Puerto Rico also contributed more than $2 billion to the central government’s General Fund via Act 154 payments, corporate income tax payments, royalty with holding payments, and individual income payments, among other revenue contributions. The local economy must retain this manufacturing investment and employ ment – as well as the associated tax revenue – and a well designed alternative to the current tax regime is critical to that achievement, the board said.

The Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico says that while it supports Act 52-2022, which replaced the Act 154 tax regime for manufacturing firms to ensure Puerto Rico remains competitive, it noted that the new tax regime may re duce commonwealth revenues.

Gov. Pedro Pierluisi

In June, Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia enacted Act 52, which allows companies to choose a 10.5% tax on industrial development income from sales of goods and services instead of the 4% excise tax on foreign corpo rations that is contained in Act 154, which the latest U.S. foreign tax credit rules do not consider creditable.

“Provisions used as a pay-for in prior laws should not be reversed in subsequent laws, unless this rever sal includes a clearly defined offsetting pay-for in the current legislation,” the oversight board. “If the govern ment confirms in writing it will abide by the provisions requested by the Oversight Board to achieve revenue neutrality, the Oversight Board is prepared to certify that Act 52 is not significantly inconsistent with the Fis cal Plan. Should the Government decline to confirm the requirements to achieve revenue neutrality, the Over sight Board reserves the right to take such actions as it deems necessary, consistent with PROMESA [the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act], including seeking remedies to prevent implemen tation and enforcement of Act 52 as well as to have Act 52 nullified. We hope such action will be unnecessary.”

PBA management employees threaten court action if towns take over school maintenance tasks 40 cents per mile doesn’t cover gas costs

“We have information indicating that the bondholders are already aware of the move by the Department of Education, so they will soon go to the federal bankruptcy court again, so that it can issue sanctions against the Public Buildings Authority,” he said.

Several mayors and the Education Department last week agreed to allow some municipalities to take over the mainte nance of schools as most schools were not ready to be used for the start of classes this month.

He said PBA managerial employees, who are assigned to different regions that deal with the maintenance of schools, requested materials ahead of time in order to accomplish the work at the schools so they could be ready for the start of classes. However, the delivery of materials was delayed due to a shortage in funding.

Guzmán López said that in addition to the insufficient payment per mile traveled, people have not had their work equipment (computers, chargers, batteries) updated since 2006.“These workers use a computer that has been in use for more than 15 years,” he said. “We know that technology is advancing, and this equipment could be considered obsolete. The data collected and processed daily requires state-of-theart equipment with the latest technology, as this data is of the utmost importance for the agency and the country.”

Hiram Alejandro Rosario said Statistics Office personnel are responsible for visiting establishments to determine the introductory prices of food and services, and gather data for studies on employment and unemployment, and studies of salaries paid by companies. The data is essential when the government prepares proposals and economic analyses for the establishment of new businesses on the island and is also required by the federal Department of Labor.

“The daily routes will depend on the establishments to be visited, but many of them are long distances between municipalities,” he said. “The Google measurement method used by the agency calculates the distances from place to place without considering traffic intensity and alternate routes to those calculated by the system. The cost of tolls incurred by employees is also not considered in the reimbursement per mile.”

As of the effective date of the debt adjustment plan in March, the commonwealth’s total funded debt obligations was reduced from some $34.3 billion of pre-petition debt to only about $7.4 billion, representing a total debt reduction of 78%. A critical component of the Commonwealth Plan of Adjustment is the post-Effective Date issuance of new general obligation (GO) bonds and contingent value instruments that provide recoveries to GO and PBA bondholders, as well as holders of clawback claims against the commonwealth and certain of its component units and instrumentalities.

Víctor Rivera noted that the agency takes up to two months to reimburse the employees, who earn a base salary of $1,600 per month, for the miles driven.

By THE STAR STAFF Agroup of Department of Labor and Human Resources data collectors said over the weekend that the 40 cents per mile they receive is not enough to cover fuel expenses, not to mention the maintenance costs of their vehicles, which are required to do their work.

Berrios Rivera said the unions whose membership in cludes PBA employees and managers will file a motion in federal court and inform the Financial Oversight and Man agement Board of the agreements reached between several mayors and Education Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés, which if they materialize, he said, will affect PBA finances and jeop ardize the agreements with bondholders and the approved Debt Adjustment Plan agreed upon earlier this year.

The leader of the PBA management employees said the start of the 2022-2023 school semester has been an atypical one. He said a simple look at the budget assigned to the PBA shows that it has $70 million less, a sum that was used for a payment to bondholders, an issue that directly affected the materials purchasing division.

Labor Dept. employees:

“Our salary is a pittance, and we have to wait up to two months for the reimbursement, leaving us with about $400 a month to cover all our needs, including rent, food, water and electricity, among others,” he said. “Technically we are paying the department for working for them. This is unfair and Generalunacceptable.”Workers Union (UGT) President Gerson Guz mán López said the 60 or so data collectors who work at the Department of Labor have routes from San Juan to Fajardo and from Mayagüez to Yauco.

“At this time, the Public Buildings Authority cannot afford to lose maintenance contracts, since many of these commit ments are tied to the loans made with the bondholders and which were endorsed by the Federal Court,” Berrios Rivera said in a written statement. “Mayors cannot collude with the Department of Education to harm the PBA. The Association of Management Employees will meet this coming Tuesday, August 23 with the engineering executive director Ivelysse Lebrón Durán to inform her of the steps we are taking and invite her to raise her voice of alert in this action that the mayors and the secretary of the Department of Education are taking against our public corporation.” Berrios Rivera said there is no doubt that if U.S. District Court Judge Laura Taylor Swain is informed that the Education secretary and several mayors agreed to take away from the PBA the maintenance contracts of several schools, thereby eliminating revenues from the PBA, she will see it as a vio lation of the debt adjustment plan.

“Forty cents per mile is not enough to cover all the ex penses of gasoline, maintenance, oil changes, tires, and much more that a vehicle needs to be kept in optimal condition, especially when your car is your main work tool,” Rosario said. “We are currently spending close to $100 a week on gasoline, an amount well above the reimbursement they give Likewise,us.”

The Public Buildings Authority (PBA) Management Em ployees Association President José Berrios Rivera on Sunday again rejected the idea of allowing municipal ities to take over the maintenance of island schools from the PBA and threatened to take the matter to bankruptcy court.

“This is 25% of the advance under the WCA for the project to purchase materials for which the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) obligated more than $590 million,” COR3 Executive Director Manuel A. Laboy Rivera said. “After processing the disbursement, now the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) will begin the process of acquiring the equipment. As we know, there is a high demand for materials and equipment worldwide and production is not at full capacity. With this strategy, PREPA is anticipating the need to advance the reconstruction projects.”

“For this reason, we reaffirm our genuine call to the Executive [branch] to sit down to seek alternatives in consensus and to work as a team,” the House speaker said. “On all the occasions that we have collaborated in good faith, the result has been of benefit to all Puerto Ricans. At this time, it is necessary for all government officials to have the sensitivity and empathy to recognize that the LUMA contract has harmed the quality of life and the business environment on theMeanwhile,island.”

Amid new outages, PDP lawmakers approve measure to initiate cancellation of LUMA contract

Speaker of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives Rafael Hernández Montañez

Among the equipment, which includes the project approved by FEMA in the middle of the year, are: 2,500 miles of transmission lines, over 300 substations, about 200,000 transformers and some 13,400 miles of feeders, among other system components.

The San Juan Daily Star Monday, August 22, 2022 5

At the moment, PREPA is developing seven reconstruction projects at power generation plants located in San Juan, Arecibo, Mayagüez, Salinas and Bayamón. Meanwhile, LUMA Energy has 11 repair or replacement projects for poles and lights in the municipalities of Ponce, Caguas, Luquillo, Lajas, Aguada, Maunabo, Arecibo and Mayagüez.

FEMA has approved 10 reconstruction projects for generation valued at over $115 million. Meanwhile, currently slated for construction are 28 permanent works related to distribution and transmission that amount to more than $105 million and that have the federal entity’s endorsement.

“A robust electrical grid positively impacts not only industries in general, but also health, education, and all residents of the island,” said José Baquero, FEMA’s federal coordinator for disaster recovery in Puerto Rico. “In addition, it prepares us to face other emergencies in the future with a more solid and effective network.”

and Resilience

Party (PDP) legislators in the House of Representatives approved a resolution on Sunday to demand that various entities disclose data on the performance of LUMA Energy since it began its operations, in order to lay the groundwork for canceling the private consortium’s contract to manage the island’s electric power transmission and distribution“Amongsystem.theagreements are: The filing of several resolutions to order the Public-Private Partnerships Authority, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and the [Puerto Rico] Energy Bureau to submit and certify to the Secretary of the House of Representatives, in a non-extendable term of five work days, those evaluation metrics compiled as a result of the contractual provision of LUMA,” said House Speaker Rafael “Tatito” Hernández Montañez in a written statement.

Hernández Montañez said the public-private partnership contract between LUMA Energy and the central government establishes a list of metrics that must be met in order to extend and fulfill the contract. Some of the metrics are: reduce power outage time, reduce average monthly outage per customer, reduce average total generation cost per kilowatt-hour, and improve customer service and employee support.

“The LUMA brigades are working hard to resolve the situation in San Juan as quickly and safely as possible,” the spokespersons wrote on the consortium’s Twitter account. “Thank you for your patience as we work to restore service. We will provide additional updates as soon as they are available.”

PREPA Executive Director Josué Colón Ortiz stated that “the disbursement of the advance of 25% of the WCA for the purchase of materials and equipment allows us to process in advance the purchase orders of equipment with long delivery times that can exceed a year so that they are available at the time of carrying out the rehabilitation project.”

Central Office of Recovery, Reconstruction and Resilience (COR3) has disbursed some $147.5 million corresponding to the Working Capital Advance (WCA) pilot program for the purchase of materials and equipment necessary for the rehabilitation of Puerto Rico’s electrical system.

“The park is like a forest, and it’s breezy so that animals can socialize,” Soler said. “I have pets, and I bring them to the park to spend their energy every day.”

The members of the board also approved a resolution to create the Juan R. Melecio Machuca Institute of Electoral Statistics, which would be attached to the Office of the Elec toralPierluisiCommissioner.saidthe designation of the institute bearing the name of Judge Melecio Machuca “is a tribute to the profes sional career of this excellent public servant whose vision, dynamism and transparency transformed the State Elections Commission.”

There was Suzy, Gitana, Albus … animals of all breeds, big and small, some kept in cages and all on leashes, per the park’s instructions. More often than not, the animals were well behaved. All entrances to the park are closed, and the owners are asked to keep a watchful eye over their pets, to minimize incidents. The inviting space is large with plenty of shadow and seats, so people can relax while their pets play.

Every pet’s a winner at Barceloneta ‘3Kanino’ run

sky, at least 150 pet lovers flocked to the Barceloneta Pet Park on Sunday for a day of festiv ities that included a “3Kanino” (3-kilometer run for pets) and 5K for animals and owners at the Rafael Meléndez Pagán athletic track. Also, the animals could take part in a lowcost vaccination and health prevention fair. But the big surprise was that not only dogs ran. Not even that a cat ran, but a Japanese rooster, whose young owner asked to enroll last Friday. No news on whether he won, but he got a medal. In fact, every animal that took part in the race got a participation award.

The Barceloneta Pet Park is open every day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“Everybody won,” said Barceloneta Mayor Wanda Soler. “The importance of this event was that everybody had a good time, we taught the next generation to care for every living creature, and we had fun.”

The inviting Barceloneta Pet Park is large with plenty of shadow and seats, so people can relax while their pets play.

“Our administration supports activities that promote the physical fitness of pets and the responsibilities of their owners toward these little animals that are part of the family,” she added.Theraces were held very early in the day to protect the pets’ paws and claws, given the elevated temperatures registered recently in Puerto Rico. The animals not only walked in the park, but took a trip to the town hall, then around town, and back to the park to receive their medals. Many animals that went to the park to spend the day mingling are rescues, as attested by some owners interviewed by the STAR.

As part of its work, the State Board unanimously endorsed the governor’s public policy of implementing necessary mea sures to protect patients and health professionals from the problems they face with paying for and being paid for services.

“With the favor of God, and of our people, I will be doing work and fighting for all our people, as their governor for six years, four months and 11 more days,” the governor said in his message.Pierluisi also used the occasion to criticize the political opposition.“Because what they do is threaten, instead of working and seeking the progress of our people,” he said. “Those who have deprived the people of trained secretaries, competent judges and good prosecutors through sheer politics. And those who seek to destabilize Puerto Rico, because they don’t get the favor of the people at the polls, which is where it counts. To all of those, I tell them that I am not intimidated, I am not distract ed, I am focused on giving Puerto Rico a good government.”

But by early 2021, after Trump had left the White House, officials with the archives realized they were missing significant material. They reached out to, among others, Scott Gast, who had been a lawyer in the White House counsel’s office under Trump, and Philbin.Thearchivists were particularly insistent about getting back the missing correspondence from the North Korean leader and a letter left on the Resolute Desk for Trump by Obama. Archives officials also asked Gast and Philbin about the roughly two dozen boxes that had been in the residence during the administration’s final days. Philbin responded that he would work to get them in the hands of the archives and reached out to Meadows, who said he would help make it happen, according to former officials. But archives officials did not get what they wanted until they traveled to Mar-a-Lago and retrieved 15 boxes of material this past January. Subsequently, archives officials told Trump’s team that they had identified social media records that had not been preserved, and that they had learned White House staff members had not preserved official business they had conducted on their personal electro nic messaging accounts. They referred the matter to the Justice Department. In the spring, Philbin and Gast were questioned by the FBI about the boxes; Cipollone was also interviewed at some point. A grand jury was formed. In June, one of Trump’s lawyers signed a statement asserting that all relevant documents with classified markings from the boxes that had been requested had been returned. The Justice Department would later file an affidavit to a federal judge in Florida, revealing that the department believed possible crimes had been committed, precipitating the search Aug. 8 at the club. If Trump or Meadows needed a paradigm for the appropriate handling of government documents, they needed to look no further than Vice President Mike Pence’s office.

Two of Pence’s senior aides — Marc Short, his chief of staff, and Greg Jacob, his counsel — oversaw the indexing and boxing up of all of his government papers, according to three former officials with knowledge of the work.Their goal: ensuring that Pence left office without a single paper that did not belong to him, one of the officials said. When Biden arrived in the Oval Office on Inauguration Day, he found a letter waiting for him in a drawer from Trump. The new president remarked that Trump had been more gracious in the letter than he had anticipated. It was one of Biden’s first records that will have to be turned over to the archives.

The final days of the Trump White House: Chaos and scattered papers

President Donald Trump meets with President Vladimir Putin at the the Presidential Palace in Helsinki, Finland on July 16, 2018. Throughout his presidency, Trump remained obsessed with the F.B.I.’s inquiry into his 2016 campaign’s potential ties to Russia.

A lawyer for Meadows declined to comment.Trump’s lawyers and aides were well versed in the Presidential Records Act, the law that strictly governs the handling of records generated in the Oval Office, even if Trump routinely flouted it. Donald McGahn, Trump’s first White House counsel, instituted a protocol for the proper handling of materials and gave presentations on the law to staff members, former officials said. After the 2020 election, White House officials held conversations about the fact that someone needed to retrieve documents that Trump had accumulated in the residence, according to former officials.

But it is unclear how much bandwidth either man had to deal with the issue. Trump often berated Cipollone for objecting to his attempts to subvert Joe Biden’s victory, accor ding to former Meadows’officials.immediate predecessors — President Barack Obama’s last chief of staff, Denis McDonough, and President George W. Bush’s final chief of staff, Joshua Bolten — had created teams to scrub West Wing offices of anything that belonged to the archives.

Four days before the end of the Trump presidency, a White House aide peered into the Oval Office and was startled to see the president’s personal photos still arrayed behind the Resolute Desk — guaranteeing that the final hours would be a frantic dash.

The San Juan Daily Star Monday, August 22, 2022 7

By the end of the administration, White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy, Patrick Philbin, were keenly aware that Trump’s handling of documents was a potential pro blem, according to people in their orbit.

In the area known as the outer Oval Office, boxes had been brought in to pack up desks used by President Donald Trump’s assistant and personal aides. But the boxes stood nearly empty. The table in Trump’s private dining room was stacked high with papers until the end. In the White House residence, there were a few signs that Trump had realized his time was up. Papers had been dropped into boxes, roughly two dozen of them, and not sent back to the National Archives. Aides had even retrieved letters from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and given them to Trump in the final weeks, according to notes described to The New York Times. Where all of that material ended up is not clear. What is plain, though, is that Trump’s refusal to return government documents collected while he was in office has led to a potentially damaging, and entirely avoidable, legal battle that threatens to engulf the former president and some of his aides. Although the White House counsel’s office had told Mark Meadows, Trump’s last chief of staff, that the roughly two dozen boxes’ worth of material in the residence needed to be turned back to the archives, at least some of those boxes, including those with the Kim letters and some documents marked highly classified, were shipped to Florida. There they were stored at various points inside Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s members-only club, home and office, according to several people briefed on the events. Those actions, along with Trump’s protracted refusal to return the documents in Florida to the National Archives, prompted the Justice Department to review the matter early this year. This month, prosecutors obtained a warrant to search Mar-a-Lago for remaining materials, including some related to sensitive national security matters. The investigation is active and expanding, according to recent court filings, as prosecutors look into poten tially serious violations of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice.

It is unclear whether Meadows took the same measures, former aides said. But in the administration’s final weeks, the White House emailed all of its offices instructions about returning documents. Meadows followed up on those notes and encouraged offices to comply, according to a person familiar with those Meadowsconversations.alsoassured White House staff members that he would talk to Trump about securing records, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.

A spokesperson for Trump did not res pond to a request for comment. Trump has denounced the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago as a “witch hunt.” His office has said he had a “standing order” that materials removed from the Oval Office and taken to the White House residence were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them, although none of the three potential crimes cited in the FBI search warrant depend on whether removed documents are classified.

President Joe Biden shakes hands with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) after signing the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, Aug. 16, 2022.

There is one area where Biden is particularly restricted in taking actions that the environmental activists are calling for: stopping new fossil fuel projects. As part of the agreement with Manchin, the new law mandates oil and gas lease sales on federal lands and waters, and it requires the Interior Department to continue to hold auctions for fossil fuel leases if it plans to approve new wind or solar projects on federal lands.

A recent International Energy Agency report found that coun tries must immediately stop new oil, gas and coal development if they hope to keep the average global temperature from increas ing 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, the threshold beyond which scientists say the Earth faces irreversible damage.

“We are planning for how Biden can use the rest of his 2 1/2 years in office potentially even more to use the full extent of his executive authority,” said Varshini Prakash, executive direc tor of the Sunrise Movement, a youth-led climate activist group.

The planet has already warmed 1.1 degrees Celsius.

cut emissions as recently as last month, when it appeared the climate bill had stalled in the Senate. But even now that the bill has been revived and passed, several administration officials say he has not ruled out taking any of those unilateral moves.

Fresh off signing expansive climate legislation, President Joe Biden and his administration are planning a series of execu tive actions to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help keep the planet from warming to dangerous temperatures, senior White House officials said.

EPA officials have said they are working to develop a new rule for coal-fired power plants as well as gas plants that will conform with the Supreme Court’s mandate but have released no details about how the new policies would work.

Biden promised an aggressive set of executive actions to

President Donald Trump, for example, rolled back more than 100 of President Barack Obama’s environmental regulations.

McCarthy noted the EPA still has “broad authority” to regulate emissions from electricity generation. She also said the government is forging ahead with new regulations on soot and other traditional air pollutants, which will have the side benefit of cutting carbon emissions.

In addition to the power plant rules, McCarthy listed a broad range of areas where executive agencies are preparing action on climate.

The ruling curtailed but did not eliminate the agency’s abil ity to regulate the energy sector, and the agency may still require measures like emission controls at individual power plants. But the court ruled out more ambitious approaches, like requiring utilities to switch from coal to wind or solar power.

“I have no question that they’ll go further and farther, because they will make money on this,” she said of the private sector.

Any executive actions are certain to be challenged in court by conservative attorneys general who have argued the Biden administration has overstepped its authority on climate change.

The EPA has been working to regulate methane, a potent greenhouse gas that spews from oil and natural gas operations and can warm the atmosphere 80 times as fast as carbon dioxide in the short term. That rule is expected to be finalized later this year. A separate regulation to curb vehicle tailpipe emissions could be issued next year. Officials expect the new law will help companies comply with new regulations at low or no cost by giving them tax incen tives to reduce emissions. That, she said, will lead emissions to drop well beyond the levels analysts are currently estimating.

Beyond issuing new rules, she said activists also still hope to see Biden declare a national climate emergency, a move that would give the president the power to unlock federal funding for clean energy, among other potential actions. It is a tool White House officials considered wielding before.

Democratic leaders also have promised Manchin a vote on a permitting reform bill that could speed new fossil fuel projects, like oil and gas pipelines, and the development of large-scale wind and solar projects.

After signing climate bill, Biden prepares more actions to cut emissions

Gina McCarthy, the White House climate adviser, said that regulatory moves, combined with the new legislation and action from states, could help Biden meet his promise to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, compared to 2005 levels, by the end of the decade. The climate bill, she said, was “a starting point.”

By LISA FRIEDMAN and JIM TANKERSLEY

Biden has the executive authority to issue regulations through federal agencies, and under the Clean Air Act of 1970 can establish rules to address air pollution. But unlike legisla tion, those rules can be easily undone by a future administration.

Climate activists have called on Biden to keep pushing for new ways to curb global warming.

The new law includes about $370 billion in incentives for electric utilities to increase their reliance on low-emission energy sources like solar and nuclear, for consumers to buy electric vehicles and for businesses to invest in energy efficiency. They were the product of a last-minute deal struck by Manchin and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the majority leader. Energy experts project the law will help draw down about 40% of U.S. emissions from 2005 levels, closing in on, but not reaching, Biden’s goals on its own. But administration officials believe they have sufficient executive power available to fill the gap.

Biden is on track to deploy a series of measures, including new regulations on emissions from vehicle tailpipes, power plants and oil and gas wells, the officials said. In pushing more executive action, Biden is trying to make up for the compromises his party made on climate measures to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes the largest single U.S. investment to slow global warming. Democrats had to scale back some of their loftiest ambitions, including by agreeing to fossil fuel and drilling provisions, as concessions to Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a holdout from a conservative state that is heavily dependent on coal and gas.

The move toward executive action comes less than two months after the Supreme Court limited the Environmental Pro tection Agency’s ability to regulate carbon emissions from power plants. The vote was 6-3, with the court’s liberal justices in dissent, saying that the majority had stripped from the EPA “the power to respond to the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.”

“The president has not chosen to just look at Congress; he’s chosen to recognize that he has presidential authorities and responsibilities under the law to keep moving this forward,” she said. “And he’s going to continue to use those.”

To him, the American dream, a nearly 100-year-old idea weighted with meaning and memory, has become so mething not so much to aspire to but to defend from attack.

For decades, politicians have used the phrase “the American dream” to describe a promise of economic oppor tunity and upward mobility, of prosperity through hard work. It has been a promise so powerful that it drew immigrants from around the world, who went on to fulfill it generation after generation. Political figures in both parties employed the phrase to promote both their own policies and their own biographies.Nowanewcrop of Republican candidates and elected officials are using the phrase in a different way, invoking the same promise but arguing in speeches, ads and mailings that the American dream is dying or in danger, threatened by what they see as rampant crime, unchecked illegal im migration, burdensome government regulations and liberal social policies. Many of these Republicans are people of color — including immigrants and the children of immi grants, for whom the phrase first popularized in 1931 has a deepToresonance.politicians of old, “the American dream” was a supremely optimistic rhetorical device, albeit one that often obscured the economic and racial barriers that made achie ving it impossible for many. To the Republican candidates embracing it today, the phrase has taken on an ominous and more pessimistic tone, echoing the party’s leader, for mer President Donald Trump, who said in 2015 that “the

How a storied phrase became a partisan battleground

Juan Ciscomani, a Republican who washed cars to help his Mexican immigrant father pay the bills and is now running for Congress in Arizona, has been leaning on a simple three-word phrase throughout his campaign: “the American dream.”

“That American dream,” Vasquez said, “is becoming a hallucination.”

“It married conservative values with economic oppor tunity: ‘We recognize you for your contribution to America, and we will give you the opportunity to get ahead if you are willing to do the work,’” said Lionel Sosa, a retired media consultant in San Antonio who is a Republican and who created ads for Reagan and Bush.

The earliest mention in print of the words “American dream” appears to have been in a 1930 ad for a $13.50 marked-down bedspring from a U.S. mattress company.

The politicization of the phrase comes as studies show the American public has become more pessimistic about the possibility of achieving the American dream. Historians say that in recent years, Republicans have been using the phrase far more frequently than Democrats in ads and speeches. While more than a dozen Republican candidates across the country cite the phrase in their TV ads this midterm season, only four Democrats have done so, according to AdImpact.

The roots of this more conservative vision of the American dream can be traced to Ronald Reagan, who often invoked the phrase and also used it in his appeals to Latino voters, extolling family, religion and an opposition to government handouts. It was a strategy later followed by George W. Bush.

One of the Democratic candidates who has relied on the theme in his ads is Shri Thanedar, an Indian American state lawmaker in Michigan and the Democratic nominee for a House seat. “We have ceded that ground to Republicans and other corporate politicians,” Thanedar said, referring to a reluctance by some Democrats to emphasize the phrase.

“In all the time we worked on it, we didn’t say anything having to do with building a wall,” Sosa said of the past messaging aimed at Hispanic Republicans. “There was no message that you have to be here legally or that if you are not here legally, we don’t want you here.”

Antonio Swad, an Italian Lebanese immigrant running for a House seat in the Dallas suburbs, said in an ad that he washed dishes at the age of 15 before opening two res taurants, telling voters the American dream does not “come from a government handout.”

Politicians have long warned that the American dream was slipping away, a note struck from time to time by former President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton and other Democrats. What has changed is that some Republicans now cast the situation more starkly, using the dream-is-in-danger rhetoric as a widespread line of attack, arguing that Democrats have turned patriotism itself into something contentious.

Gabe Vasquez, a Democrat who is facing Herrell in New Mexico in the fall, has also embraced the phrase. He tells supporters that his late grandfather — Javier Bañuelos, who taught himself to fix broken televisions with an old manual and eventually opened his own repair shop — made it possible for him to run for Congress. The American dream is not about buying a house, but ensuring that the economic ladder “is there for everybody and that everyone can climb with you,” he said. Yet even Democrats find themselves speaking of the dream as pessimistically as Republicans. Just as Republi cans blame Democrats for destroying the American dream, Democrats believe the fault lies with Republicans. They say Republicans are making it harder to obtain by attacking the social safety net and blocking efforts to raise the minimum wage, and that they have co-opted the symbols of patrio tism — including words like patriot — and turned them into partisan weapons.

American dream is dead.” In the same way that many Trump supporters have tried to turn the American flag into an em blem of the right, so too have these Republicans sought to claim the phrase as their own, repurposing it as a spinoff of the Make America Great Again slogan.

“The Republican Party is using it as a dog whistle,” said Christina Greer, an associate professor of political science at Fordham University. “They are saying, ‘Here is the po tential of what you can have, if we can exclude others from “stealing it” from Republicansyou.’”dispute that their references to “the Ame rican dream” promote exclusion and say they are using the phrase the same way politicians have used it for decades: to signal hope and opportunity. “I think the left is far more pessimistic than Republicans are about the American dream,” said Rep. Yvette Herrell, R-N.M., who is Cherokee and the third Native American woman ever elected to Congress.

Television ads for more than a dozen Republican can didates in statewide, House and Senate campaigns — more than half of whom are people of color — cite the phrase, according to AdImpact, the ad-tracking firm. Several other House hopefuls, many of them Latinas, frequently cite the words in social media posts, digital ads, campaign literature cand speeches. The Republicans relying on the phrase show the extent to which the party is diversifying its ranks and recruiting candidates with powerful come-from-behind stories. But historians and other scholars warn that some Republicans are distorting a defining American idea and turning it into an exclusionary political message.

Democratic congressional candidate Gabe Vasquez in Albuquerque, N.M. on July 11, 2022. To Vasquez, the American dream is about ensuring that the economic ladder “is there for everybody and that everyone can climb with you.”

Republicans once more sought to redefine it. Now much of the phrase’s progressive history has been lost, as Republicans argue that big government is the enemy.

Republicans still use the American dream in the way Reagan and Bush did, underscoring a strong work ethic, Christian values and entrepreneurialism. But many Hispanic Republicans now add a harder edge — stressing that they came to the country legally, decrying “open borders” and calling for the completion of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.

Historians and economists, however, credit writer James Truslow Adams with popularizing the phrase in his bestseller published a year later in 1931, “The Epic of America.” His Depression-era definition was a “dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone.” To Adams, it was part of a liberal vision in which government was seen as a force to fight big business. His symbol of the American dream at the time was the Library of Congress. For later generations, Adams’ phrase came to be defined by an image — a house with a white picket fence — as presidents, companies and popular culture pushed homeownership. But with the chances of owning a home diminishing after the 2008 economic crash, Democrats and

“That has been the real shift,” said Sarah Churchwell, author of a 2018 book, “Behold, America: The Entangled History of ‘America First’ and ‘the American Dream.’”

“Both parties used to celebrate the fact that America is an exceptional country. Now you only have one that ce lebrates that fact,” said Jason Miyares, a Republican and the child of Cuban immigrants. The American dream was part of his successful campaign to become Virginia’s first Latino attorney general. In Texas, Rep. Mayra Flores, a Mexican immigrant who became the state’s first Latina Republican in Congress, ran an ad that declared, “Democrats are destroying the American dream.”

Now, many Argentines are turning to cryptocurrencies as one way to escape the peso. About one-third of Argentines said they bought or sold cryptocurrencies at least once a month, double the percentage of people in the United States, according to a separate survey by Morning Consult. But cryptocurrency, given its instability, also bringsVicenterisks.Cappelletti, 26, said he had lost around $1,000, about 10% of his savings, when TerraUSD, a so-called stablecoin — a type of cryptocurrency that can be pegged to government currencies such as the dollar — collapsed in May.

Argentines are thought to hold more dollars in cash or in foreign financial insti tutions than almost any other population — other than Americans, said Gian Maria Mi lesi-Ferretti, an economist at the Brookings Institution.Butthree years ago, the Argentine go vernment made it more difficult to buy U.S. currency. Argentines can legally purchase only $200 a month and have to pay hefty ta xes on every transaction. More workers in Argentina than any other country, including many freelancers in jobs such as software developers and trans lators, choose to receive part of their pay in cryptocurrencies, according to Deel, a pa yroll company used by more than 100,000 workers in 150 nations.

Crypto is tumbling. But to Argentines, it still beats pesos.

Romina Sejas, who worked as a waitress and in telemarketing, now earns a living as a cryptocurrency consultant and by teaching workshops about digital curren cies, at her home in Buenos Aires, Argentina, June 28, 2022.

The San Juan Daily Star Monday, August 22, 2022 11

Pablo Sabbatella, who runs an organi zation in Buenos Aires that offers cryptocu rrency classes, said hundreds of people had contacted him in the days after TerraUSD imploded, desperate to recover their money.

The ongoing global supply-chain cha llenges and the war in Ukraine have contri buted to rising prices, but many economists blame Argentina’s woes on years of excessive government spending. Since the government does not collect enough revenue to make up the shortfall, the central bank prints pesos — pushing inflation even higher.

“Most people don’t understand what they are doing,” he said. Bitcoin’s value has dropped from $65,000 in November to about $24,000 today, nearly double the fall in value of the peso. But many Argentines believe cryptocu rrencies will rebound — unlike the peso. Still, for some, cryptocurrency has brought welcome financial benefits.

Sejas, who worked as a server and in telemarketing, earns a living as a cryptocu rrency consultant and by teaching workshops about digital currencies. She runs an online marketplace with 7,000 members who can use cryptocurrency to buy almost anything — from hiking boots to a house. Sejas grew up in a working-class family without access to the internet. Her parents did not finish middle school or have bank accounts.

“My family used to measure the length of toilet paper rolls we had, because we had very little,’’ she said. The money she has made from crypto currency has transformed her life. “I’m stu dying law at a private university,” she said. “I’ve done all the health checks I never did growingAcrossup.” the world, people in low-inco me and emerging countries have become the biggest users of cryptocurrencies, according to various reports, overtaking the United Sta tes andDigitalEurope.coins are prized in countries where the local money is volatile and where governments have made it harder for citizens to buy foreign currencies. Two poor countries, El Salvador and the Central African Republic, have even adopted bitcoin as another official national currency — although the bet has not paid off in El Sal vador, and it’s too early to tell whether it will do so in the Central African Republic.

Cappelletti, an industrial engineer, said it was easy to lose money “if you are not on top of this all the time and don’t have a lot of information.” He sold all the savings he had held in cryptocurrencies for pesos and put them in a traditional investment fund.

Argentina provides some clues about the appeal of Argentinescryptocurrencies.havelonglooked to the dollar as a safe haven. Saving in dollars “is tattooed into our DNA,” said Daniel Conver tini, 34, who works in communications for a ride-hailing company. “I learned to do it from my dad and my grandfather, not because I read it in some financial newspaper.”

“I prefer to expose myself to the risks of crypto,” said Convertini, the ride-hailing employee, “than the risks of the Argentine government.”

By ANA LANKES Romina Sejas’ entry into the world of cryptocurrency — in a country where digital currencies have soared in popu larity despite their volatility — started with pizza.She was helping prepare pizza dough at a friend’s house a few years ago outside Mendoza, a midsize city in western Argenti na. The friend suggested leavening the dough in his mine. “I was so confused,” Sejas said. “I thought mines involved men with helmets and picks.”Instead, he opened a door into a room where shelves were stacked with whirring com puters. Known as miners in tech jargon, the computers work nonstop, verifying cryptocu rrency transactions and rewarding their owners in digital currency. They consume so much energy that the room was a functional oven. Sejas’ friend — who mines ether, one of the world’s most popular cryptocurrencies — explained that getting into cryptocurrency had raised his monthly salary by nearly 40%, from $800 doing odd jobs to $1,100. Sejas soon became a cryptocurrency convert, joining a wave of Argentines turning to digital currencies as a way to earn more, increase their savings and even conduct everydayEvenbusiness.thoughthe cryptocurrency market has cratered in recent months, many Argen tines see it as a safe haven in a country whe re surging inflation and a grinding economic crisis have battered the national currency, the peso, and people’s bank accounts. “Money here is like ice cream,” said Marcos Buscaglia, an economist in Buenos Aires, the capital. “If you keep a peso for too long, it melts in terms of how much you can buy withBecauseit.” so few Argentines trust the peso, they prefer to save in other currencies, includingAboutdollars.one-third of Argentines belie ved that savings kept in pesos in a local bank would hold onto their value over two years, the lowest percentage among respondents in 15 countries surveyed in June by Morning Consult, a data firm based in Washington, D.C. Nearly 60% of Argentines believed that bitcoin, one of the most popular cryptocu rrencies, would retain the value of their sa vings over that same period, the survey said. With inflation expected to reach 90% by December, the peso’s worth keeps tum bling, pushing up prices of everyday pro ducts, from toilet paper to tuna fish, and ma king it virtually impossible to save.

“The culturally important episodes, or the episodes that maybe a more casual fan would say, ‘I’d like to see that again,’ that stuff is what’s missing,” Hennes said. Hennes, who worked in the creative department of Sesame Workshop from 2012-21, said that he was concerned that the episode removal could signal a fading relationship between HBO Max and Sesame Workshop. Sesame Workshop expanded its offerings and increased its production values with the influx of funding from the premium cable network. If HBO Max reduced its financial support or ended the relationship, Hennes said it could limit the nonprofit’s production and outreach work.

“In a perfect world, HBO Max would want to invest more in ‘Sesame Street’ and really make it the flagship that it could be for the streaming network,” Hennes said. “So it’s a little baffling that they would decide to go backward on that and say we’re going to do less of this and not really capitalize on their own investment in the franchise.”AfterHBO Max’s decision to remove episodes became public, the official Twitter account for “Sesame Street” seemed to address the change.“Your friends on Sesame Street will always be here when you need them,” it said. “Visit the neighborhood any day of the week with full episodes on our YouTube channel.”

Workshop, the nonprofit group behind “Sesame Street,” struck a five-year deal with HBO in April 2015 to give the premium cable network the first run of new episodes. The episodes would then air free nine months later on PBS, where the show had aired for 45 years. In 2019, Sesame Workshop made a similar deal with HBO Max, which started in May 2020. Both deals also gave HBO Max access to the enormous back library of “Sesame Street,” although it has never made all of the episodes available at the same time. Some episodes of the show are available on PBS and the Sesame Street YouTube account.

Sesame Workshop did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.

Joe Hennes, editor-in-chief of ToughPigs, a website for fans of “Sesame Street,” the Muppets and other Jim Henson creations, said the “Sesame Street” episodes still available on HBO Max were a “random assortment.”

Abby, Big Bird, and Elmo during a taping of Sesame Street at Kaufman Studios in New York on May 16, 2019. PR 00902-3918 • (787) 721-4444

Nearly 200 episodes of “Sesame Street” have been pulled from HBO Max, a streaming platform that has been purging films and television shows in recent weeks as it prepares to combine with another streaming service, Discovery+. Fans of “Sesame Street” were surprised Friday to see that hundreds of episodes, most from the first 40 years of the show, had been removed from HBO Max. It is the latest shift at HBO Max following the merger of its former parent company, WarnerMedia, with Discovery Inc. in April. Together, the companies formed Warner Bros. Discovery, which is aiming to find $3 billion in savings in an effort to reduce its $55 billion in debt. This past week, about 70 HBO Max staff members were laid off as a part of the reorganization, and HBO Max announced that 36 titles were being pulled from the platform. The pulled programming included animated series “Infinity Train” and “The Not-Too-Late Show With Elmo,” a “Sesame Street” spinoff. David Zaslav, the company’s CEO, also told investors this month that the company plans to offer a single paid subscription streaming service, bringing together content from HBO Max and Discovery+.Itwasnot clear what that means for the future of “Sesame Street” on HBO Max. As of Friday, HBO Max had cut the number of “Sesame Street” episodes it provides to 456 from 650, Variety reported. Some spinoff series survived the cull, including seven seasons of “My Sesame Street Friends,” and “The Magical Wand Chase” special, featuring Elmo and Abby Cadabby, a pink fairy-in-training who joined “Sesame Street” in 2006. Every episode of “Sesame Street” from seasons 39, which aired in 2008, through 52, the latest season, is still available on HBO Max. The newest season, 53, will air on HBO Max in the fall.The only episodes available from before season 39 are from seasons one, five and seven, including a fan favorite in which all of the characters gather for a singalong in Bert and Ernie’s bathroom.Some of the most notable episodes HBO Max once streamed are no longer available, including an episode that aired in 1983 and featured Big Bird confronting death, following the death of the actor who played Mr. Hooper, Will Lee. HBO said in a statement that the streaming platform was “committed to continuing to bring ‘Sesame Street’ into families’ homes.” “‘Sesame Street’ is and has always been an important part of television culture and a crown jewel of our preschool offering,” the statementSesamesaid.

The rebound in US stocks is gaining believers among investors who study market trends, bolstering hopes for equities in the second half of 2022.

Summer rebound in U.S. stocks gains fans among chart-watching investors

The S&P 500 closed down about 1.29% on Friday (Aug 19), ending a streak of four straight weekly gains.

Still, those who look to market phenomena such as breadth, momentum and trading patterns to inform their investment decisions see a more optimistic picture, and are growing convinced the recent gains in equities are unlikely to fade.Several indicators “really suggest that the low we had in June is certainly more durable than the low we had in May or March,” said Willie Delwiche, an investment strate gist at market research firm All Star Charts. “It’s a rally that can be leaned in to, not one that needs to be feared at this point.”Among these are measures that show the “breadth” of a market move, or whether a significant amount of stocks are rising or falling in unison. A period of narrowing breadth late last year came as a worrying sign to some investors and preceded the start of a decline in the S&P 500 in which stocks fell nearly 21% in the first half of 2022. That trend has reversed recently. The number of new highs on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq surpassed new lows last week for the first time this year on a weekly basis, an encouraging sign to Delwiche and other strategists.“Thebeginning of sustainable rallies usually starts with a large percentage of stocks rallying together,” said Ed Clis sold, the chief US strategist of Ned Davis Research. The firm recently increased its recommended exposure to US eq uities to “neutral” from “underweight” as some indicators turned positive. Additionally, the number of S&P 500 stocks above their 50-day moving average recently hit 90%. The signal has preceded big moves in the S&P 500, with the index gaining an average of 18.3% in the year after the 90% threshold is hit, data from Bespoke Investment Group showed. “The probability that we are higher in a year is much higher with that flashing,” said Todd Sohn, a technical strat egist at Strategas.

Past rallies in stocks have been short-lived this year and many market participants believe it is too early for opti mism. Fed officials have gone out of their way to emphasise that the central bank has plenty of work to do in bringing down inflation, and the coming week’s symposium in Jack son Hole, Wyoming, could see them once again push back on expectations of a dovish monetary policy pivot, one nar rative that has helped lift stocks.

After notching its worst first half since 1970, the S&P 500 has bounced some 15% from its mid-June low, fuelled by stronger-than-expected corporate earnings and hopes the economy can avoid a recession even as the US Federal Reserve (Fed) raises rates to tame inflation.

In a reflection of the challenges Moscow is facing, the Russian state news media also reported Friday that the Kremlin had replaced the com mander of the Black Sea Fleet after a series of setbacks that include the loss of its flagship vessel, Moskva, in April.

Crimea is where czars and Polit buro chairmen kept vacation homes. As home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, it also helps Russia exert control over the sea, including a naval blockade that has crippled Ukraine’s economy.

On the social network Telegram, one of Russia’s best-known state television hosts, Vladimir Solovyov, shared a post describing the attacks in Crimea and in Russian regions near the Ukrainian border as “some kind of surrealism.”

“Are we fighting or what are we doing?” the post by a pro-Kremlin mil itary blogger asked. “Tough, cardinal measures must be taken, every day we pay for half-measures with human lives.”While the military impact of the attacks may be minimal, there are mounting signs that local people are becoming unsettled by them, prompt ing officials to issue reassurances about their safety.

But as images of anti-aircraft fire streaking through the blue Crimean sky ricocheted through social media, the visceral reality of war was be coming more and more apparent to Russians — many of whom have ral lied behind the Kremlin’s line, ham mered home in state media, that the “special military operation” to save Ukraine from Nazi domination is go ing smoothly and according to plan.

But a series of Ukrainian attacks in Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that President Vladimir Putin illegally an nexed from Ukraine in 2014, is punc turing that narrative.

On Saturday, a drone slammed into the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, sending a plume of smoke over the port city of Sevas topol. Separately, in western Crimea, Russian troops launched anti-aircraft fire at unidentified targets, the region’s Russian governor said. Local Russian officials blamed the drone attack on Ukraine and urged residents and beachgoers not to pan ic, while insisting there had been no injuries and that Russian air defenses were functioning properly.

Kortunov said the Kremlin is like ly to view the Ukrainian attacks not as a military threat but as “irritating,” showing Ukraine’s ability to threaten Russian lives deep behind the front lines. But it remained unclear how — or if — Putin would respond to the at tacks, even as pro-Kremlin commen tators called for retaliatory strikes. Russia continues to retain military superiority, and the recent strikes in Crimea haven’t resulted in territorial gains for Ukraine. But they neverthe less appear to have dealt a psycho logical blow to Russia, undercutting the previous perception of Russian in vincibility in a peninsula that exerts a strong hold on the Russian psyche. Crimea is more than a pivotal mili tary base. A sun-splashed resort and staging ground for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Crimea has particular sym bolic resonance for Putin, who has called it Russia’s “holy land.”

Ukraine has been engaged in a campaign to target Russian forces on the Crimean Peninsula. The attacks in Crimea appear to have begun in earnest on Aug. 9 with a strike on the Saki air base in which eight fighter jets were“Onedestroyed.canliterally feel in the air of Crimea that the occupation there is temporary, and Ukraine is returning,” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine said on Saturday in his nightly address to the nation.

By ANTON TROIANOVSKI, MARC SANTORA and DAN BILEFSKY N early six months into the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin still refers to its invasion as a “spe cial military operation” while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy at home.

In an interview over a messaging app on Saturday, one resident of Sev astopol said she had never imagined that she would live to see the events of the last six months — both the war and the booms of anti-aircraft fire that she said she had heard herself recent ly. She said that her solution was to try to continue living her life and to avoid the “Whennews. you read the news, chaos erupts in your head,” said the wom an, Elena, 34, who requested her last name be withheld for her security.

“I understand that many are wor ried,” the Russian governor of Sevas topol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said on his social media page on Saturday.

“But that is exactly what the Ukrainian Reich” — a reference to Russia’s false characterization of Ukraine as a Nazi state — “wants to achieve.”

It was the biggest warship lost in com bat in Thedecades.waralso continued to rever berate outside Ukraine, including in ongoing concerns that the Kremlin was using Russia’s vast energy re sources as a weapon to punish the West.The Russian energy giant Gaz prom said it would close the taps of its Nord Stream pipeline to Germany from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2 to replace a tur bine with the help of its manufacturer, Siemens. Gazprom has said Western sanctions have slowed repairs, reduc ing gas flows by up to 60%. But Berlin has accused Gazprom of playing poli tics on Moscow’s behalf.

And as Ukrainian attacks mount in the strategically and symbolically im portant territory, the damage is begin ning to put domestic political pressure on the Kremlin, with criticism and de bate about the war increasingly being unleashed on social media and un derscoring that even what the Russian government considers to be Russian territory is not safe.

Damaged and destroyed Russian vehicles are on display in Maidan Square in central Kyiv, Ukraine, on Saturday, Aug. 20, 2022.

“People are beginning to feel that the war is coming to them,” Andrei Kortunov, director general of the Rus sian International Affairs Council, a research organization close to the Russian government, said in a phone interview. “I think this is serious.”

“You get the feeling that all around you everything is exploding and burn ing and that you are in hell.”

“The Russian side’s justification is simply a pretext,” Robert Habeck, Germany’s economy minister, told reporters in Berlin in June. “It is ob viously the strategy to unsettle and drive up prices.”

As attacks mount in Crimea, Kremlin faces rising domestic pressures

“They have focused all their efforts on the Bakhmut direction, but they have not achieved any serious vic tories or advances on the front for almost two months,” said Serhiy Haidai, a Ukrainian regional official in the east. In southern Ukraine, Russian forces were trying to advance toward Mykolaiv, a key Ukrainian stronghold. The city’s mayor, Oleksandr Sienkevych, warned resi dents Sunday morning to seek shelter as loud explosions were reported in the area. The mayor offered no further details.

On Sunday, security forces began clea ring the area, but Axmad said the hotel was still laden with unexploded bombs from the militants. It was not immediately clear how many militants went into the hotel, and officials did not respond to questions about that.Photos and video from the scene showed parts of the yellow structure’s roof completely damaged, along with bullet ho les and soot covering collapsed balconies. While covering the events near the hotel Sunday, a police officer injured a Somali journalist, according to the Somali Journa lists Syndicate, an independent journalists union. It was not immediately clear what led to the shooting, and police have not commented on the episode.

But Mohamud is quickly realizing, ex perts said, that handling one major attack, let alone defeating the group, is easier said than done.

A 30-hour siege by al-Shabab militants at an upscale hotel in the Somali ca pital, Mogadishu, has left 21 people dead and more than 100 wounded, govern ment officials said. It was a busy evening at the Hayat Hotel on Friday, with friends arriving to socialize, businesspeople dining together and families unwinding after a long week. But just after 7 p.m. local time, the militants barged in, sei zing the premises, killing patrons and setting off a battle with security officers that finally ended Sunday morning. When it was all over, 21 people had been killed and 117 others wounded, accor ding to the Somali health minister, Ali Haji Adan. Fifteen of those wounded were in critical condition, Abshir Axmad, the state minister at the president’s office, said in an interview.Theattack was the first complex and sustained assault carried out by al-Shabab in the Somali capital since Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was elected president in May. It also joined a long list of deadly strikes on hotels, restaurants and public spaces in Mogadishu over the past 1 1/2 decades, in which hundreds of civilians lost their lives in a city trying to rebuild after a devastating ci vil war. The offensive also underscored how al-Shabab continue to pose a threat to the stability of Somalia even in the face of highlevel defections and increasing airstrikes by the United States.

“The sheer length of the siege of Ha yat Hotel by al-Shabab is unprecedented in Somalia,” said Mohamed Husein Gaas, di rector of the Raad Peace Research Institute in Mogadishu. “The president will need to invest in security and revisit the Somali secu rity architecture.”

“It is a terrible and sad day for Somalia and the Somali people,” Mohamed Ibrahim Moalimuu, a Somali lawmaker, said in a pho ne interview, adding that 11 members of his clan were killed in the attack. “It is sad that these terrorists continue to shed people’s blood so easily.” The United Nations along with countries including Kuwait and Turkey condemned the attack Saturday. Ned Price, the State De partment spokesperson, deplored the siege, too, saying in a statement that the United States would continue to support Somalia in its “efforts to counter terrorism and build a secure and prosperous future.”

Shabab attack on Somali hotel ends with 21 dead, officials say Russia-backed official escapes blast in Mariupol, as Moscow presses its offensive in east

By ABDI LATIF DAHIR

A Russia-backed mayor in the occupied southern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol was nearly hit by an explosion Saturday as he walked into the city’s zoo, Russian state TV reported. The mayor was unharmed, the reports said. The episode came amid claims that Ukraine is increasingly deploying secret agents within Russia-held territory to target officials it sees as traitors. At the same time, Ukrainian officials said Sunday that Russian troops were attacking all along the front line in eastern Ukraine, where its offensive has been met with increasing resistance. A morning update listed dozens of assaults in the past day, and said that Russian forces were pounding Ukrainian positions and civilian areas with warplanes, artillery guns, mortars and rockets. Russian ground troops were assaulting Pisky, a vi llage near the main airport in Donetsk province, and Russian warplanes were striking towns nearby, according to Ukrainian officials. Military analysts say Moscow still aims to capture all of Donetsk, although it has made little progress since seizing the neighboring province of Lu hansk in July. The city of Bakhmut remains in Ukrainian hands but is mostly deserted, much of it in ruins.

Officials said that 117 others had been wounded in the 30-hour siege by Shabab militants at an upscale hotel in Somalia’s capital.

The assault in Mogadishu comes as So malia faces a severe drought, escalating food prices and soaring hunger levels. More than 7 million people, about half the country’s population, are facing acute food insecurity, while 213,000 others are facing famine-like conditions, according to the World Food Program.

Experts say the group particularly gained strength in the past five years, when the former government was roiled by political turmoil and former President Donald Trump pulled out hundreds of troops — a move Pre sident Joe Biden largely reversed this year.

When he was elected in May, Moha mud vowed to defeat al-Shabab, writing in a piece in The Economist that he would fight the group financially and ideologically and would liberate “all remaining territories, no matter how small or remote, so that our people can live in peace.”

The assault underscored how al-Shabab have continued to gain strength in recent years, carrying out daring operations in Ken ya and Ethiopia, enlisting recruits through sleek videos posted on social media and extending their grip on villages and towns across large areas of south-central Somalia.

He is the first high-level official to be de tained in connection to the case, and autho rities said Friday that they had also issued more than 80 arrest warrants related to it, including for military officers, police officers and cartel members. It was not immediately clear if any of those warrants had led to other arrests, but their sudden announcement came just a day after the Mexican government said an official inquiry had found the disappearance of the students to be a “crime of the state” involving every layer of government.

The arrest of the former attorney gene ral, Jesús Murillo Karam, outside his home in Mexico City on Friday afternoon sent shock waves across the country. The Mexican prosecutor’s office said he was charged with “forced disappearance, torture and obstruc tion of justice” in the case of the students, young men from a teachers college in the ru ral town of Ayotzinapa. Murillo oversaw a wide-ranging coverup of the event, which included testimony obtained through torture, according to the United Nations. A report on the disappearan ces that Murillo released in January 2015, ca lling it the “historical truth,” has been widely discredited by independent experts, and the attorney general resigned shortly after amid criticism of his handling of the case. His arrest is likely to be seen as a signifi cant win for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who rose to the presidency on a wave of discontent with the previous admi nistration, vowing to tackle corruption and bring those responsible for the students’ di sappearance to justice.

In a statement issued through the Centro Prodh, a local advocacy group that repre sents them, they called the developments the beginning of a process that “could contribute to the accountability of the authorities invol ved.”“The fathers and mothers are not moved by revenge or personal animosity against an yone,” the statement added, “but rather by the hope that the truth will be known and that this will help prevent similar events from ever happening again.”

The Mexican justice system often moves at a glacial pace, with detainees sometimes being held for years before being tried. For all the scandals that plagued the pre vious government of President Enrique Peña Nieto, the current administration has obtai ned few convictions against former officials, including in a long-running graft investigation related to the Brazilian construction company Odebrecht. One of the top officials implica ted in the case was extradited from Spain to Mexico in 2020 but formally charged with bribery only earlier this year.

The government’s subsequent coverup of events only added salt to the wound, particularly given ample evidence that local, state and federal agents had probably been involved in the students’ abduction. Rights groups have also long suspected the military was involved, but in Mexico, the armed for ces generally operate with impunity.

Police work at the site where 28 badly burned and dismembered bodies were found buried on a hill above Iguala, Mexico, Oct. 7, 2014.

The families of the 43 students, who have spent years fighting for justice but have often been met with indifference or hostility by authorities, reacted to the news cautiously.

The practice of taking over buses was time-honored and largely tolerated by local bus companies. But that night, the students were shot at and violently detained by police and local gunmen before being taken away in separate groups and most likely murdered.

Even in a country that had grown used to cartel-fueled carnage, the sudden disappea rance of 43 students on a single night in Sep tember 2014 caused national outrage, with thousands taking to the streets in protest. The night they disappeared, the students had commandeered several buses from a bus station in the town of Iguala, south of Mexi co City, in order to transport their peers to a demonstration in the capital commemorating another student massacre from decades ago.

By OSCAR LÓPEZ

Mexico’s former attorney general was arrested late last week in connec tion with the violent abduction and likely massacre of 43 students in 2014, a sig nificant breakthrough in one of the most no torious atrocities in modern Mexican history.

“It’s a good sign — a powerful, clear, important gesture,” Paula Mónaco Felipe, a journalist and author of “Ayotzinapa: Eter nal Hours,” said of Murillo’s arrest and the warrants. “However, it remains to be seen if they will be prosecuted.”

“It’s a very big deal,” said Tyler Mattia ce, an Americas researcher at Human Rights Watch. “It shows a willingness and an interest in investigating and prosecuting not only the enforced disappearance of the students but also the cover-up that happened afterward.”

“We said from the start that we were going to tell the truth, no matter how painful it might be,” López Obrador said at a news conference Friday. “Making the truth known has to do with transparency, which is a gol den rule of democracy.”

Still, there is no guarantee the arrests will soon result in meaningful prosecution.

The Mexican army has been implicated in human rights abuses and forced disappea rances for decades, going back to the 1970s when hundreds of student protesters and dissidents were arbitrarily detained, tortured and disappeared. But despite wide-ranging evidence, military commanders have almost never faced justice. That made it particularly stunning that in an announcement this past week of the pre liminary findings of a government truth com mission, the government said that the army had had an informant among the students and yet took “no action” to protect or find the young man. He remains among the missing 43, and the inquiry said there is no indication that any of the young men are still alive. The news was also surprising given López Obrador’s incre asing reliance on the military for everything from building airports to distributing vacci nes. The subsequent announcement that members of the military, including comman ders, had been charged with crimes related to the disappearance of the students was another significant step, rights activists said.

“Let us hope that there is justice in the Ayotzinapa case, which is an emblematic case,” said Mónaco. The case “could open the door to truth and justice in many others, in at least 50 years of abuses and crimes aga inst humanity perpetrated by the Mexican armed forces.”

Mexico arrests top prosecutor in case of missing students and issues 80 warrants

The convicts’ early release came as the country marks 10 years since the horrific gang-rape of a young woman on a bus in the capital, New Delhi, which set off nationwide protests and led to collective soul-searching. The result was stricter laws, police reforms, wider protec tions for women and a continuing push to alter attitudes.

Modi was the top official in Gujarat at the time of the 2002 sectarian violence. Then as now, he is accused by critics of fanning and exploiting the country’s religious polarization to consolidate the Hindu base of his Bhara tiya Janata Party.

Later, facing a backlash, he claimed that his com ments — which were caught on videotape — had been misconstrued.Inthespring,

“People are saying, ‘They fed sweets to the con victs,’” said Ashish Shah, Radheshyam Shah’s younger brother. “Are we not allowed to celebrate?”

For Bano and her family, the message of the welco me was entirely different.

The older Shah, who had returned from prison three days earlier, said over the phone that he was “innocent” and had left with his family for the state of Rajasthan on a Hindu pilgrimage.

“It is the government’s discretion to take appropriate action on the case based on its merits,” said Raj Kumar, the home secretary for the Gujarat government.

Then, this last week, the 11 perpetrators walked free, welcomed with sweets and garlands. “The trauma of the past 20 years washed over me again,” Bano said in a statement released by her lawyer Wednesday. “I am still numb.”

Some analysts saw the men’s release, after about 15 years in prison, as related to elections scheduled for De cember in Gujarat, the seat of Modi’s rise, where the BJP has remained in power for two decades.

Bano’s case stems from a gruesome period of secta rian violence when Modi was chief minister of Gujarat. A series of riots began after nearly 60 Hindu pilgrims were burned alive on a train. An initial inquiry declared the fire accidental, while subsequent commissions and court cases found it was the result of a conspiracy by a Muslim mob to attack Hindu pilgrims.

FMASHALor15 years, as she moved from house to house for her family’s safety, Bilkis Bano waited for assurance from the courts that the men who gang-raped her and murdered many of her relatives would spend the rest of their lives in prison. That finally came in 2017. In the years that followed, Bano said, she had been learning “slowly to live with my trauma” from the communal bloodshed that racked the Indian state of Gujarat in 2002 and devastated her family. She and her husband were now ready to settle into a new home close to relatives and restart their business selling goats and buffaloes.

The case of Bilkis Bano, a Muslim woman who was raped and her 3-year-old daughter killed by a Hindu mob, is a tragic reflection of India’s halting progress in addressing violence against women and of the deepe ning divides engendered by swelling Hindu nationalism.

“If you are welcoming these rapists back into society, what will happen to this country’s women?” said Rasul, her husband.

While the state had changed its policy in 2014 to exclude perpetrators of crimes like rape and murder from such clemency, the men had asked for their case to be con sidered under the policy that was in place at the time of theirThecrimes.review committee, stacked with members of the governing party, decided that the men should be freed, and the state government accepted the recommendation. Officials have indicated that the convicts’ good behavior in prison was a factor in their release.

But the freeing of the men on the same day as Modi’s speech — and at the same time that the government has faced criticism for jailing activists and voices of dissent for long stretches — showed how easily political machi nations can undermine efforts at justice, analysts said.

“Whether they committed the crime or not, I do not know,” C.K. Raulji, a governing party lawmaker who was part of a review committee that recommended the relea se, told the local news media.

In the two decades since, Modi’s lieutenants have assiduously tried to distance him from accusations that he and his administration looked the other way as the Hindu mobs rampaged. These officials have called the accusations a conspiracy by a “triad of political parties opposing the BJP, some journalists and some NGOs” to stain Modi’s image. Today, a narrow road snaking through homes cove red in terra cotta roofs and past abandoned farmland leads to the spot where residents say Bano and her fa mily were attacked on March 3, 2002. A rock-faced hill with thorny vegetation overlooks the forested area whe re, they said, Bano was dragged and raped. Cows swim in the waters of a river nearby. About 6 miles downhill, past mahua trees and co lorful snack stands, is Bano’s former home in the Hindudominated village of Randhikpur. It is now occupied by fruit vendors and shops selling wholesale grains. Directly across the road is where Radheshyam Shah, one of the 11 convicts, was welcomed by his wife and sisters this past week with homemade sweets.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in an address on the 75th anniversary of India’s independence this past week. “It is important that in our speech and conduct, we do nothing that lowers the dignity of women.”

Raulji went so far as to suggest that the men’s status as high-caste Hindus argued in favor of their freedom.

She has stopped talking to anyone outside her home, Yakub Rasul, her husband, said in an interview. “They are now out,” Rasul said. “We are thinking, ‘What will they do to us?’”

India’s Supreme Court directed the state government to hear the men’s request for release.

Retaliatory violence then swept across large parts of Gujarat, leaving more than 1,000 people, most of them Muslims, dead. Bano was repeatedly raped by her assailants despi te her pleas that she was five months pregnant. One of them took her 3-year-old daughter and “killed the infant by smashing her on the ground,” investigators testified. In all, 14 members of her family were killed as they tried to flee. The heads of several were severed; others were buried “in a pit with common salt” for decomposing.

His first novel was a great success. After his second, he came to faith. He was attending a church service in New York where the pastor was talking about how Jesus is crowned amid confession, tears and great laughter. “At the phrase great laughter, for reasons that I have never satisfactorily understood, the great wall of China crumbled and Atlantis rose up out of the sea, and on Madison Avenue, at 73rd Street, tears leapt from my eyes as though I had been struck across the face.”

One of Buechner’s often cited observations is that you find your vocation at the spot where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need. Perhaps like many others, I struggle to experience my inner life in the quiet, patient, deep and old-fashioned way that Buechner experienced his. So much of the world covers over all that — constant media consumption, shallow communication, speed and productivity.

He spent the rest of his life as a border-stalker, too literary for many Christians and too Christian for the literary set. His faith was personal, unpretentious and accessible. “Faith is homesickness. Faith is a lump in the throat. Faith is less a position on than a movement toward.” It is sensing a presence, not buying an argument.Hedescribed the Gospel as a great fairy tale that happens to be true. The fairy tale has pain and danger, goodness is pitted against evil, people are transformed, and in the end all the characters are revealed for who they really are. To live within this fairy tale is to experience the “joy and beauty and holiness beyond the walls of the world.”

One morning in the fall of 1936, 10-year-old Frederick Buechner and his younger brother were playing in their room. Their father opened the door, checked on them, and then went down into the family garage, turned on the engine of the car and waited for the exhaust to kill him.

By DAVID BROOKS

Buechner and his brother heard a commotion, looked out the window and saw their father on his back in the driveway. Their mother and grandmother, in their nightgowns, had dragged him out of the garage and were pumping his legs up and down in a doomed attempt to revive him. There would be no funeral, or discussion of what happened. Their mother just moved the boys to Bermuda to escape. The rules in that family were, “Don’t talk, don’t trust, don’t feel.” They became masters at covering themselves over. Many decades later, after his mother had died, Buechner wrote of her: “The sadness of other people’s lives, even the people she loved, never seemed to touch her where she lived. I don’t know why. It wasn’t that she had a hard heart, I think — in many ways she was warm, sympathetic, generous — but that she had a heart that for one reason or another she kept permanently closed to other people’s suffering, as well as to the darkest corners of her own.” Buechner went the other way. He realized that the problem with steeling yourself off from pain is that you simultaneously close yourself off from being transformed by the power of life itself. Buechner, who died this week at 96, became a master of uncovering his inner depths. The titles of his books speak to the mission he set for himself: “The Sacred Journey,” “The Longing for Home,” “Telling Secrets,” “The Eyes of the Heart.” His books are understated, not narcissistic. By and large, they don’t make arguments. Buechner’s books tell stories, let you experience another person’s experience, let you get involved with the deep parts of one person’s life to see where it rhymes with and differs from your own. He modeled how a person can experience life more fully, which is a process of scraping off some of the ways adulthood teaches us to see. As Philip Yancey wrote, Buechner “tries to reawaken the child in people: the one who naïvely trusts, who will at least go and look for the magic place, who is not ashamed of not knowing the answers because he is not expected to know the answers.”

The man who found his inner depths

Christians, he wrote in one novel, should get up every morning, read the Times and ask themselves, “Can I believe it all again today?” If you say Yes 10 days out of 10, he wrote, then you probably don’t know what believing means. But on the days you can say Yes, “it should be a Yes that’s choked with confession and tears and … great laughter.”

Sometimes I think the national obsession with politics has become a way to evade ourselves. Buechner’s vocation was to show a way to experience the fullness of life. Of death, he wrote, “What’s lost is nothing to what’s found, and all the death that ever was, set next to life, would scarcely fill a cup.”

In one of his frequently quoted passages, Buechner wrote: “Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and the pain of it no less than the excitement and the gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.”

El marcapaso miniaturizado está indicado para pacientes con algunos tipos de bradicardia, una condición que hace que el corazón lata demasiado lento, explicó el electrofisiólogo José Marcial Suá rez, el primer especialista en realizar un implante de este marcapaso en Puerto Rico. Los parámetros médicos establecen que, generalmente, el corazón marca entre 60 y 100 pulsaciones por minuto. Una persona con bradicardia podría tener menos de 60 pulsaciones y presentar síntomas como mareo, fatiga y falta de aire, señaló el doctor Marcial Suárez. De ser necesario, un especialista podría recomendar un marcapaso, cuya función es emitir señales eléctricas al corazón, ayudando a regular sus palpitaciones. Mientras el marcapaso tradicional requiere de una intervención quirúrgica para acomodar la bate ría y los cables que van a través de una vena hasta el corazón, el marcapaso miniaturizado se coloca con un procedimiento más sencillo. “Es una tecnología que se implanta transcastéter; es decir, a través de una vena desde la ingle derecha hasta el corazón”, comentó en declaraciiones escritas Marcial Suárez sobre el Ademásprocedimiento.deser93por ciento más pequeño que los marcapasos tradicionales, no requiere cables car díacos o hacer un bolsillo quirúrgico debajo de la piel para administrar una terapia de estimulación al corazón.

As Saul tells Walter (in a scene that picks up from their last encounter in “Breaking Bad”), his time-machine hypo thetical is a “thought experiment.” But it’s also the kind of cheater’s fantasy that has always appealed to him — a shortcut, a quick fix, a loophole to beat the system. It’s the kind of easy way out that he seems to find halfway into the finale, when he turns on the blarney spigot one more time to talk his way into a cushy plea deal. But what Jimmy/Saul/Gene fi nally has to accept is that there is no one weird trick to set his life right. He can’t call a mulligan. He lives in a time ma chine that only goes forward. But he doesn’t discover this by him self. Kim has long been the moral center of the show, not because she’s a paragon but because of her willingness to deal more honestly with her flaws. Learning that his ex-wife has confessed her guilt to Howard’s widow does for Jimmy what Chuck couldn’t: It convinces him to do the right thing, the hard way.

By JAMES PONIEWOZIK Before we discuss the finale of “Bet ter Call Saul,” the series demands a question: What do we call this guy? Who is he, really? The title would seem to give us the answer. The series reintroduces us to Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), whom we met in Season 2 of “Breaking Bad” as the sleazy lawyer to the chemistry teacher turned druglord, Walter White. But we meet him in “Saul” as Jim my McGill, the name under which he was born, ran con jobs and first plied the law, and as Gene Takavic, the alias under which he goes into hiding and manages a Cinnabon in Nebraska after Walt’s meth operationJimmycrumbles.ishungry and hustling; Saul, preening and peacocky; Gene, beaten and bitter. Each has a little of the oth ers in him. In its closing run, “Better Call Saul” has jumped about in time, shuffling these identities like the moving targets in a shell game. Which one holds the pea? Last Monday night, the series deliv ered its answer, in an understatedly po tent finale that engaged the themes that allowed the series to — mostly — avoid the fate of the superfluous sequel. If “Breaking Bad” traced one man’s course from schmuckdom to villainy, “Better Call Saul” asked, more broadly: How do we become who we are? Do we have a choice in the matter? And what does it take to become a new person? The Jimmy we meet in the “Bet ter Call Saul” premiere — set in 2002, six years before the events of “Breaking Bad” — is a hapless public defender who dreams of emulating his big brother, Chuck (Michael McKean), a respected New Mexico lawyer. Chuck’s law part ner, Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian), re buffs Jimmy’s efforts to join the firm while Chuck offers Jimmy the well-meaning but patronizing advice to knuckle down, know his limitations and be patient. Patience is not in the skill set of Jimmy, a former slip-and-fall artist with the gift of gab. His wheels do not grind slowly but exceedingly fine; they run on overdrive and throw off sparks. Why, he wonders, should he be demeaned for his talents? Why should propriety keep his motormouth stuck in first gear? He finds an ally, and eventually a wife, in Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn, giving one of TV’s most fine-tuned per formances), a lawyer in Howard and Chuck’s firm. She’s both balance and ac complice, a cooler customer who shares Jimmy’s gift for the grift. But Jimmy can’t keep his scam artist ry a hobby. It consumes him; it becomes him. He pulls a vengeance scheme that drives Chuck to suicide. He adopts his trade name — ’s all good, man — and builds a customer base of drug dealers. With Kim’s help, he runs a plot to ruin Howard’s reputation that inadvertently leads, in this year’s midseason finale, to Howard’s murder by one of Saul’s gang ster clients.Theshock of the killing ends his and Kim’s marriage; the guilt of it derails her legal career. The incident also initi ates the end of the series’s weaker half, a drug-world thriller that re-creates the blood-soaked narco-noir exploits that Walter White fans had come to expect. With the “Breaking Bad 2: Break ing Badder” section of the storyline complete, the creators, Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, focused on their cen tral characters in the final run. Despite the reappearance in flashbacks of Bryan Cranston as White and Aaron Paul as his sidekick, Jesse Pinkman, the last half-sea son is less an attempt to reprise “Break ing Bad” and more a productive conver sation with it — maybe even a friendly argument.“Breaking Bad” is an intensely mor al show with no illusions about Walter’s depravity. But it is also intoxicated with his criminal genius. Walter, financially struggling and stricken with lung cancer, finds virility and purpose in his heinous deeds. He breaks both bad and badass.

‘Saul’ great, man

The San Juan Daily StarMonday, August 22, 202220

In “Better Call Saul,” crime is most ly just sad, the more so the closer the se ries gets to its end. The closing episodes return to Gene in his Nebraska exile, shot in blood-draining black-and-white and looking like an off-brand Walter White, down to the soup-strainer mustache. As Saul says of Walter, in a late-sea son flashback, “Guy with that mustache probably doesn’t make a lot of good life choices.” Now he seems to be proving his own point. To replenish his nest egg, and maybe his sense of self-worth, Gene enlists a dim-bulb taxi driver to rob a de partment store, then to help him fleece a string of rich marks, ending with a cancer patient.It’s a sad-sack version of the final spree that left Walter with a pile of cash the size of a California king mattress. It ends ignominiously, with Gene ID’d by the elderly woman (Carol Burnett) whom he deceived to start his ruse. It wasn’t even that hard, she tells him: “I typed in ‘con man’ and ‘Albuquerque.’” The man who eluded the law and survived the cartel gets brought down by Eunice Higgins.Over a decade and a half, the “Bad”-iverse has developed a lot of nar rative real estate. The final run of “Saul” keeps finding little pockets of story to re visit within it, restaging Saul’s first run-in with Walter and having Kim meet Jesse during the “Breaking Bad” timeline, at a crucial moment in both their lives. The finale, likewise, gets its theme and structure from three flashbacks with now-dead characters — Mike, Walter and Chuck — each of which involves the idea of going back and changing one’s life path. Mike tells him that he would go back to the day he took his first bribe as a police officer and his life went off track. Then, he says, he would go into the future: “There’s some people I’d like to checkMikeon.” is describing “Better Call Saul” itself. Both prequel and sequel, it is a time machine that moves backward to find how a man went wrong and forward to see where he ends up. And like many a sci-fi time-travel story, it explores how much of our fate is within our control.

The “Breaking Bad” finale is set up as a series of wins for Walter — he de feats his enemies and secures his family’s finances — ending in a death penalty on his own terms. The climax of “Saul” seems at first to be going a similar way. Instead, the protagonist utters something you would never expect to hear from Saul Goodman in a courtroom — the truth — and blows up his plea deal. Unlike Walter White, he doesn’t find a way to have his fate and cheat it too. He doesn’t, as when Walter clears his wife on a phone call with police lis tening in, instantly end Kim’s troubles. He doesn’t go out in a blaze of glory. He sentences himself to life. As Saul says to Walter in one of their first “Breaking Bad” meetings, “Conscience gets expen sive, doesn’t it?” Maybe he is finally less comparable to Walter White than to Don Draper of “Mad Men,” another fast-talking slick in a suit whose words save him until they don’t, who is taken with the idea of time machines, who has a history of changing his name and running from trouble. His endgame is not that of a gangster facing down the law but, like Don, of a man finding integrity in his splintered iden tity. At last he can be himself, and, in its closing run, so could “Better Call Saul.”

Barbara J

I don’t want to make too much of the much-heralded End of the Antihero — “Barry” is still around, for starters. But at a nearly 15-year run, “Breaking Bad” and “Saul” make an era unto themselves. “Saul” had the benefits of experi ence without the complacency of incum bency. It was one of the best-made shows on TV — confident, attentive to detail and gorgeously composed. (Check out the fi nal sequence’s reprise of Kim and Jimmy sharing a cigarette in a slant of light.) It challenged itself to be more than a new version of a thing you used to like. And it ended true to its ideas and its protagonist. So who is this guy in the end? The finale’s title, “Saul Gone,” tips us off. “Gene Takavic” died in the Nebraska dumpster where the police arrested him. “Saul Goodman” lives on as a legend to his fellow inmates who know him from his TV ads. But we leave knowing him by the name he finally gives the judge. Call him James McGill. He is no longer Saul. He may yet be a good man.

The expanding world of clubs Historically, legacy carriers, including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Unit ed Airlines in the United States, have oper ated lounges for passengers flying in first and business classes, as well as frequent flyers who qualify for membership. Their offerings sometimes include standard clubs (such as United Club at United) and more exclusive ones for forward-class flyers on long-haul in ternational flights (United Polaris).

Plaza Premium Group, which has res taurants, lounges and hotels in more than 70 global airports, recently introduced its PPL Pass Americas, which costs $59 for two visits within a year to most of its lounges in North, Central and South America. The pass gets you into stand-alone Plaza Premium Lounges and the airline lounges it operates for the likes of Virgin Atlantic, Avianca and Air France. There are six eligible lounges in the United States, with a new location in Or lando, Florida, expected to open later this year.

Airline lounges, bastions of civiliza tion in airport terminals that are now often overstuffed with irritated passengers, thanks to flight delays and cancellations, have long been the retreat of the frequent-flying elite, forward-class ticket holders and those with expensive credit cards.

Another class of clubs welcomes mem bers flying any carrier. These include Priority Pass, which offers access to more than 1,300 lounges in more than 600 cities (member ship plans include 10 visits for $299 a year). In this case, a lounge might be an actu al airline club, such as the Plumeria Lounge from Hawaiian Airlines that Priority Pass members have access to in Honolulu; pub lic airport restaurants that offer a food credit, such as Stephanie’s restaurant at Boston Lo gan International Airport; other club brands, such as Minute Suites, which are private rooms, at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport; or airport amenities such as the Be Relax Spa at Los Angeles International Air port, where members get credit for a chair massage.Increasingly, lounge users are not air line devotees, but holders of expensive cred it cards.“It’s become popular to bundle lounge access with a premium credit card,” said Gary Leff, who writes the airline blog View From The Wing. “It’s a way of selling cards and retaining members.”

American Express Platinum cardhold ers have access to many airline lounges, as well as the company’s own Centurion Lounges, which are found in 13 American cities — with new ones coming to HartsfieldJackson in Atlanta and Washington’s Reagan National in 2023 — for a total of more than 1,400 lounges globally. The card costs $695 annually, with credits up to $400 a year in hotel and airline expenses, among benefits. What price sanity? In these times of airline mayhem, many travelers are willing to buy themselves out of the airport hell of sitting on the floor to get close to the only available electrical outlet in the concourse, a rescue offered by pay-per-use clubs.

By ELAINE GLUSAC

Depending on when you fly, even buy ing your way in may be out of the question these days as pass holders have been turned away, thanks to capacity crowds.

Now affiliated with American Express, Escape Lounges, also called Centurion Stu dios, has 14 locations, including Minneap olis and Sacramento, California, that offer pay-per-use plans at $40 a visit, if booked online 24 hours in advance, and $45 at the door (Platinum cardholders have compli mentary admission). Access offers standard perks, including free internet access, food and drinks, and new locations are expected later this year at airports in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Columbus, Ohio.

“Centurion lounges are like going to TGI Friday’s. You check in and they buzz you when there’s open space,” Kelly said. “As we’ve seen with travel this summer, people are raring to go and have missed out on premium experiences the last few years, so when they’re traveling, they are splurg ing.”

“The first and business top-tier premi um frequent flyer is well taken care of,” said Jonathan Song, the director of global busi ness development for the company. “The re maining 85% are economy class and are air line agnostic, which is where we see the rise of affordable luxury. People want to enjoy the VIP services they would in first and busi ness, but may not want to spend that amount for the ticket.”

“If your flight is canceled and there’s a two-hour wait to talk to someone, pay the $50 club fee and you’ll get access to agents who tend to be the most experienced and can do amazing things to get you where you need to be,” said Brian Kelly, the founder of the website the Points Guy, which covers loyalty rewards. No room in the club

No longer just for the flying elite, airport lounges are easier to get into now, with the crowds to prove it.

When she has the time to get to the airport early, Anne Marie Mitch ell, a communications professor in Chicago, will treat herself to a few hours in the airport lounge, either using a free pass from her airline credit card or paying a dayuse fee.“You get access to a bar, a nice clean bathroom, snacks and it’s uncrowded,” she said. “It makes traveling more fun.”

The San Juan Daily StarMonday, August 22, 202222

Some clubs are addressing the surge, including Delta Sky Clubs with its new threehour rule. Though it is nearly doubling the size of its San Francisco Centurion Lounge and tripling its club footprint in Seattle this year, American Express will begin charging cardholders for guests (adults, $50) begin ning next year unless a user spends at least $75,000 a year on the card.

Another option, the Club, has 16 lo cations in the United States, including New Orleans and Seattle, and two in London. It sells no memberships and runs strictly on a pay-per-use basis at $45 a visit (free to Prior ity Pass holders). Beyond complimentary gin and ton ics, flyers in a booking jam may find it valu able to pay the fee at an airline lounge to get prompt airline assistance.

The democratization of airport lounges

Now, with leisure travelers leading the recovery of the airline industry as business traffic lags, some clubs have made it easier for relatively infrequent flyers to claim a few predeparture perks, while others — includ ing Delta Sky Club, which adopted a new rule that no user may enter the club more than three hours ahead of their scheduled flight — grapple with growing pains.

Clubs may be victims of their own success, but accessing them may still be the cheapest upgrade-per-perk you can get when flying today.

“Everybody has some kind of privilege now with Amex or miles or buying in,” said Patrick Rollo of Providence, Rhode Island, who travels frequently for his work in real es tate. “So, everybody’s going to the lounge.”

A dozen more drug companies are pursuing a cure than a decade ago, he said, and the orga nization this year plans to spend $100 million on cure research. “It’s not a matter of if this will happen, it’s a matter of when,” said Kowalski, who is a scientist and has had the disease since childhood, as has a younger brother. “Our job is to make sure it happens faster.” Until that day, he added, people with dia betes, both Type 1 and Type 2, could use a little empathy and understanding.

Those who have seen the film have also been fortified by seeing their own struggles and dashed hopes reflected in the journeys of the film’s two main subjects, Greg Romero and Maren Badger, who became among the first patients to have the experimental cell pouches implanted under their skin.

The stigma often drives people with Type 1 to hide the disease. In his quest to feel “nor mal” at college, Todd Boudreaux said, he avoid ed telling friends about his illness, a decision that could have had dangerous ramifications in the event of a seizure brought on by low blood sugar levels.Hepner, too, has spent much of her life downplaying the disease, even with her hus band, Mossman. She recalled his confusion early in their relationship when he awoke to find her discombobulated and drenched in sweat, the result of hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar.

At a time when the soaring price of insu lin and other life-sustaining drugs has tarnished public perceptions of the pharmaceutical indus try, the film is also noteworthy for its admiring portrayal of a biotech company whose execu tives and employees appear genuinely commit ted to helping humanity. (Limiting the cost of insulin remains politically volatile. On Sunday, during a marathon vote on the Democrats’ cli mate and health bill, Republicans forced the removal of a provision with a $35 cap on in sulin prices for patients with private insurance, though the cap remained in place for Medicare patients.)“The Human Trial,” which can also be viewed online, has become a rallying cry for Type 1 patients, many of whom believe only greater visibility can unleash the research dol lars needed to find a cure.

The long, long wait for a cure to diabetes

The San Juan Daily Star Monday, August 22, 2022 23

Lisa Hepner and her husband, Guy Mossman, at their home in Los Angeles on July 31, 2022. The couple produced “The Human Trial,” a documentary about people taking part in a clinical trial to treat Type 1 diabetes.

The more Mossman, a cinematographer, learned about the disease, the more he pressed her to make the film.

Staying healthy can be exhausting for many of the 37 million Americans with some form of diabetes. There’s the round-the-clock monitoring of sugar levels; the constant, lifesustaining insulin injections; and the potential threats from diabetes’ diabolical complications: heart disease, blindness, kidney damage and the possibility of losing a gangrenous limb to amputation.

That attenuated sense of hope drove Hepner to spend nearly a decade following the fortunes of ViaCyte, a small San Diego biotech company working to create what would essen tially be an artificial pancreas. If successful, its stem-cell-derived therapy would eliminate the pinpricks and insulin injections that circum scribe the lives of the 1.5 million Americans with Type 1 diabetes. Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a Boston biotech company developing a similar therapy, has already made significant headway. Since its theatrical debut in June, “The Human Trial,” the documentary she produced with her husband, Guy Mossman, has electri fied the diabetes community, especially those with Type 1, a disease that the uninitiated often conflate with the more common Type 2. Unlike Type 2, which tends to emerge slowly in adulthood and can sometimes be reversed early on with exercise and dietary changes, Type 1 is an autoimmune disease that often strikes without warning in childhood or adolescence.Type1 is also far less prevalent, affecting roughly 10% of those with diabetes. A pancreas transplant can cure the disease, but donated or gans are in short supply and the surgery carries substantial risks. In most years, only a thousand transplants are done in the United States. To ensure the body does not reject the implanted pancreas, recipients must take immunosuppres sant drugs all their lives, making them more sus ceptible to Therapiesinfections.developed from human em bryonic stem cells, many experts say, offer the best hope for a lasting cure. “The Human Trial” offers a rare glimpse into the complexities and challenges of developing new therapies — both for the patients who volunteer for the grueling clinical trials required by the Food and Drug Administration, and for the ViaCyte executives constantly scrambling to raise the money need ed to bring a new drug to market. These days, the average cost, including the many failed tri als along the way, is a billion dollars.

“ ‘The cure is five years away’ has be come a joke in the diabetes community,” Hep ner said. “If it’s so close, then what’s taking so long? And in the meantime, millions of us have died.”

For years, Hepner stood her ground, wor ried about drawing unwanted attention to her health. “It’s a competitive world out there and I just didn’t want people to think, ‘Oh, she’s not thinking straight because her blood sugar is high,’” she said. But over time, the ubiquity of pink-ribbon breast cancer awareness campaigns and highly publicized efforts to cure Alzheimer’s made Hepner realize her filmmaking skills could change public perceptions of Type 1, a disease that is nearly invisible, in part because many people who have it do not look sick. She hopes to change other mispercep tions, including the notion that diabetes is a relatively inconsequential and “manageable” illness, one that has been popularized by Big Pharma’s feel-good drug television commer cials that feature self-assured patients playing tennis and basketball and piloting hot air bal loons.In fact, the industry spends a fraction of its research dollars on finding a cure, with the rest directed toward developing medications and devices that make it easier to live with the disease, according to the Juvenile Diabetes Cure Alliance.Theinvestment payoff is undeniable. For those who can afford them, continuous glu cose-monitoring devices can obviate the need for self-administered finger-prick testing, and the machines can be paired with iPhone-size insulin pumps that eliminate much of the guess work overHepnerdosing.has profound appreciation for the wonders of insulin: At one point in the film she pays homage to its inventor, Frederick Ban ting, during a visit to his home in Canada. But she notes that insulin-dependent diabetes is no picnic. Many people without insurance cannot afford the thousands of dollars it costs annually for the drug, forcing some to skimp and ration. And a miscalculated or ill-timed dose can lead to seizures, unconsciousness and even death. Even with all the advances in care, only about 20% of adults with Type 1 are able to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, according to a 2019 study. On one occasion, Hepner woke up in the ICU after her insulin pump failed.

“We need to stop trying to normalize this disease because, let’s face it, having diabetes isn’t normal,” she said. “It’s the other pandem ic, one that killed 6.7 million people last year around the Despiteworld.”herfrustrations, it would be inac curate to describe Hepner and her film as pes simistic. At the risk of giving away too much, “The Human Trial” ends on a hopeful note. And despite a number of near brushes with bank ruptcy, ViaCyte succeeded in gaining the fund ing to keep the laboratory lights burning. Then there is more recent news that did not make it into the film. Last month, ViaCyte was acquired by Vertex, the competing biotech company that has been developing its own stem-cell treatment. That treatment has shown early success, and last summer the company announced that a retired postal worker who took part in clinical trials had been cured of Type 1Afterdiabetes.almost a lifetime of hearing a cure was just around the corner, Dr. Aaron Kowal ski, chief executive of the Juvenile Diabetes Re search Foundation, the world’s biggest funder of Type 1 research, counts himself as an optimist.

By ANDREW JACOBS In the three decades since she was first di agnosed with Type 1 diabetes, Lisa Hepner has clung to a vague promise she often heard from doctors convinced medical science was on the cusp of making her body whole again. “Stay strong,” they would say. “A cure is just five years away.”Butthe cure has yet to arrive, and Hep ner, 51, a filmmaker from Los Angeles, remains hobbled by her body’s inability to make insulin, the sugar-regulating hormone produced by the pancreas. “I might look fine to you,” she said, “but I feel crappy 70% of the time.”

Told of this, Molina, who was hitting .222 through Friday and already missed time this season with a knee injury, shook his head and interrupted. “I’m done,” he said. Managing in Venezuela is indeed next.

After 19 years in the majors and more than 18,000 innings crouched behind the plate, the old catcher has two World Series rings and has earned more than $170 million. After all of that, what is the next step? Travel ing the world? Building a beach home? Plopping down in front of a television and disappearing from the limelight?

“It’s something different, and I’d like to try it early and see how it goes,” Mo lina said recently in Spanish, adding that he was grateful the Magallanes gave him a chance. “And then after, I can decide if I want to do it over here.”

Yadier Molina, longtime backstop of the St. Louis Cardinals, whose resume is widely expected to land him in the Base ball Hall of Fame, doesn’t want any of that yet. Whenever the Cardinals’ season ends, he will immediately head to Ven ezuela to embark on his next chapter: managing.Catchers are often called managers on the field because they are involved in every play and are the only players posi tioned facing out at the entire field rather than in at a batter. But Molina’s team mates and coaches said he has taken that role to another level thanks to his ability to see things that few else do. Molina liked the taste he got when he managed his native Puerto Rico’s un der-23 team in the Pan American Base ball Championship. But he has never managed at the professional level — at least, not formally. Officially, Oliver Marmol is the Car dinals’ manager. Unofficially, Molina has been sharing those duties for quite a while.“He’s been managing for years,” said Marmol, 36, a first-time manager who is four years younger than his catcher. “He’s one of the best baseball guys I’ve been around.”Managers do far more than set a line up or run a bullpen. They serve as a liai son with front offices, which have shaped the game more and more over the de cades. They serve as the team’s de facto daily spokesperson. They help guide the morale of the clubhouse. Now Molina will get his chance to mold things as he chooses.“Hecan be a little quiet, but he’s like an encyclopedia,” Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas said of Molina. “It’s not always open, but when you need an answer, you can open it and find one.”

It worked: Molina threw down to sec ond base to catch Joc Pederson in a run down. These moments don’t surprise the Cardinals.SkipSchumaker, the Cardinals bench coach, played with Molina in the minor and major leagues. He said that in those days, when he played center field and second base, Molina would signal for him to move his position based on the batter and “Andsituation.literally every time he did that, the ball was right there,” Schumaker said. In the modern game, clubs have reams of data on where each batter is likely to hit the ball and in what counts, and players carry positioning cards with them as reminders. Coaches use that in formation to reposition fielders, calling out changes from the dugout. Schumaker said Molina has been allowed to overrule all that, even with stars such as Chris Car penter or current ace Adam Wainwright on the mound, “because it works.”

Here, of course, is the United States. And some believe that Molina, should he want to, has the skills and experience to be a big league manager one day. Ask his coaches and teammates about the ways Molina took control of a hairy situation or spotted an opponent’s weakness during a game, and they will rattle off examples.

“We’d love for it to be multiyear,” Blasini said in a phone interview. “But it’s his first experience. And we’re all sure Yadi will in the near future be a manager in the big leagues. We don’t know Yadi’s future in the majors. He may have a po sition with an organization, not just as a manager but in another role.”

Paul DeJong, a Cardinals shortstop, said he was surprised that Molina was headed to Venezuela to manage this win ter since he thought his teammate would end up spending his time on his charita ble efforts in Puerto Rico or coaching his professional basketball team (Bayamón Vaqueros) on the island. But Molina said he couldn’t do the latter because he is the owner. He said he wanted to manage a baseball team in Puerto Rico but didn’t get the opportuni ty. So when two of his Venezuelan friends — José Martínez, a former teammate, and Pablo Sandoval, another former major leaguer — heard Molina was looking for a shot after playing, they tried to recruit him to their respective Venezuelan winter league teams. Sandoval’s team won.

There was the time in May when the Cardinals were playing the San Francisco Giants and Molina picked up how his op ponent motioned for the runner on first base to take off as the pitch was deliv ered.“In that scenario,” Marmol said, “he was like, ‘I got a read on something. Just give me one pitch.’ If he does that, you know he’s got a grasp on it. Just stay out of the way.”

And with that, Molina will dive into managing right away with the Navegantes del Magallanes, defending champions of the eight-team Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.

At times, Marmol said, Molina will pick his brain on why he called for a cer tain reliever when he did. He admitted that he will occasionally explain to Mo lina in the dugout during a game which pitcher he is deciding to use in a certain situation. Sometimes, he will even solicit his input.“It’dbe dumb not to use the resourc es you have,” Marmol said. When Luis Blasini, general manager of Magallanes, heard from his boss earlier this year that Sandoval had reached out about Molina, he said he wasn’t surprised Molina wanted to manage. He knew what kind of playing experience Molina had, and he had seen him lead the Puerto Rican youth team years ago.

Molina’s longest-running teammate isn’t so sure the catcher is ready to be at the helm of a team just yet, rather than playing for one.“I’ll believe it when I see it,” said Wain wright, who has thrown more than 2,100 in nings with Molina behind the plate over 17 years. “I think he’s going to play next year. I don’t know that, but you never know with him. He’s so impulsive. I never try to figure out what he’s thinking.”

What surprised Blasini was the tim ing: Molina was still playing, and it was in the middle of spring training. After an initial phone conversation, the men later met in person in Jupiter, Florida, where the Cardinals train before the season. It was after that when Molina, who said he has visited Venezuela before and has friends there, signed on for this winter.

But for now, Molina faces the up coming pressure of the Cardinals’ playoff push (they led the National League Cen tral race by five games through Saturday) and then the Venezuelan winter league.

Asked if he was ready for the challeng es of managing in baseball-mad Venezuela, Molina did not hesitate. “I’ve managed for 19 years in the big leagues,” he said. “And baseball is baseball. Here, I’ve had a lot of pressure situations, and I think it’ll be very fun to manage a team.”

Yadier Molina has spent more than 18,000 innings behind the plate in the majors. He holds the career record for putouts by a catcher.

After 19 years of ‘managing,’ he finally gets to be a manager

(The Navegantes’ first game is scheduled for Oct. 22, the same day as Game 4 of the NL Championship Series.)

By JAMES WAGNER

Copper finished with 10 points in the first quarter, matching the Liberty’s total score and propelling Chicago to a 21-point lead that all but ended the game. The Liberty never re covered from Copper’s first-quarter barrage, and the Sky won 100-62 to tie the best-ofthree series at one game apiece. Game 3 is Tuesday at Barclays Center in New York. “I definitely approached this game with a chip on my shoulder,” Copper said. “We lost at home in front of our crowd, who shows up consistently and gives us everything, so it was important for us to respond.”

Copper ignited the crowd in the first quarter after she connected on a corner 3-pointer in front of the Sky bench, turned, and ran down the floor with three fingers raised. She gave Wade a high-five as she passed him. The Liberty called timeout. The Sky’s 38-point win set a WNBA re cord for the largest margin of victory in play off history. (The Sky held the previous record, with a 36-point victory in Game 3 of last year’s finals against the Phoenix Mercury.)

Copper’s crucial performance came a day after the Sky looked like they might have to play without her. She left the Sky’s Friday practice early after an unspecified injury. Wade dismissed questions about the injury and told reporters before the game Saturday that she was “fine.” Copper looked healthy as she led all scorers with 20 points, and nagged the Liberty — especially Ionescu — all over the court, earning three steals. Wade said Copper’s ability to play both ends of the floor is what makes her special, and that her defense is an undervalued part of her game.

“I expected this from Chicago, but I didn’t think it would be such a butt-kicking,” Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said. She added that she was disappointed with the way the Liberty let Copper and other players “drive right by them,” along with their poor decision-making and 19 turnovers.

“I think you saw a different team tonight, and we feel like a different team,” she said.

Michaela Onyenwere said Chicago “exploited” them in multiple ways, mainly with their toughness. That was the most disappointing aspect of the loss because the Liberty expected the Sky to play that way but “faltered to the pressure,” she said.

Sky coach James Wade said the Game 1 loss woke the team up, inspiring it to play Saturday’s game with an intensity that matched how the team had approached games throughout the season. Guard Court ney Vandersloot echoed Wade’s sentiments and said that they came into the game with a “different mentality.”

By KRIS ORHIMnething

“We’re not built like them,” she said. “We don’t have a Copper that can drive by anyone. Our one-on-one defense has to be better.”The Sky won their first WNBA champi onship in 2021 largely because of Copper’s fearless playing style and her ability to elevate her game — and that of her teammates — in the biggest moments. After the Sky lost Game 2 of the finals last season, Copper out scored the Mercury’s starting five in the first half of Game 3. She was named the MVP of the finals. So, with the Sky on the brink of elimi nation Saturday, Copper performed how her teammates and Wade expected her to. And Wade made a point of calling out a recent ESPN ranking that listed Copper as the 17th best player in the playoffs. “I know she’s probably the 17th best player in the playoffs right now, but you know, we’ll take that 17,” WadeCopper’sdeadpanned.scores came from a variety of acrobatic layups in which she twisted and turned in the air before finishing. She has be come known for her superb touch around the basket, which Vandersloot said is somewhat unfortunate because Copper’s stellar finishes have become expected.

“She has such a unique ability to finish through contact, and through multiple play ers, and she makes it look easy, and what she’s doing is not easy,” Vandersloot said. “But you know, she’s kind of our engine, and when she’s doing that, we’re special.”

“Her ability to be disruptive and then, on the other end, get us a bucket and ac tually draw the defense in, it sets a tone,” Wade said. “And the tone is what we need, and she was able to do that tonight, and she does that most nights for us.”

Chicago Sky forward Kahleah Copper led all scorers with 20 points in Game 2 of the first-round series against the Liberty.

“I think just looking at ourselves first, I think, is the first thing we start with,” she said. “Continue to play together and con tinue to know that this is our season that’s on the line. So you know, I believe whole heartedly that we will respond better than we did

Thetoday.”lossfor the seventh-seeded Liberty came after they stunned the No. 2-seeded Sky in Chicago in the first game of the se ries Wednesday. In that game, the Liberty held Chicago scoreless for the final 3 min utes, 31 seconds and went on a 13-0 run, winning 98-91. But on Saturday they did not look like the team that accomplished that feat; Brondello said it was because “we went away from what we wanted to accomplish here and playing together as a team.”She added: “But it’s nice to know we have, you know, we have one more game, and hopefully we can bring a better effort and hopefully the result will be positive.”

Kahleah Copper leads Sky in rout of Liberty to even series at 1-1

was evident early in the Game 2 playoff matchup between the Chicago Sky and the New York Liberty: If the Sky were going to lose their first-round series, it would not be because of KahleahCopperCopper.looked eager to get the game go ing before tipoff Saturday, bouncing up and down on the court, clapping her hands and energetically talking with teammates. After the ball was tipped, she blew by Liberty de fenders for tough layups, yelled after the fin ishes and took on the challenge of guarding Sabrina Ionescu, the Liberty’s All-Star guard.

Sariban knows the risks firsthand. A former junior college basketball player, he was in a small professional pickleball tour nament in January 2018 — perfect South ern California day, a $200 gift certificate for the winner — when he found himself at the edge of the Kitchen.

A 2019 study counted 19,000 pickleball injuries in 2017, with 90 percent of them affecting people 50 and older.

One analysis, published in 2019 in The Journal of Emer gency Medicine, estimated that there were 19,000 pickleball injuries in 2017, with 90% of them affecting people 50 and old er.

Landa has had various pickleball afflic tions — pickleball elbow, sore hips — but those come with the sport, she said. The real pains, she said, are the nasty players who “get too aggressive and angry.” “I tell them, ‘You’ve got to loosen up. You’re playing pickleball; you’re playing a game called pickleball!’” she said.

“Most of it is from tripping,” said Dr. Amy Fenoglio, a hand and upper-extrem ity surgeon at the University of Colorado, where she has seen a surge in pickleball-re lated wrist fractures in the past 18 months. Then there’s the Kitchen. Its official name is the nonvolley zone, a 7-foot strip in front of the net on both sides. (An official pickleball court is 44 feet long and 20 feet wide.) Players are not allowed to step foot in the Kitchen, so when a ball heads there, a player might bend forward to return a “dink,” a cunning shot that hops over the net and lands in the opponent’s Kitchen.

Sariban and other pickleball experts note that the risk of injury isn’t higher than in other sports but that the perception of risk is lower. And the risks should not discour age participation, say die-hards like Deb bie Landa, a tech entrepreneur in her early 50s in San Francisco. Like many, Landa has taken up pickleball during the pandemic; she now plays five days a week. Among her mentors, she said, was an 82-year-old woman in Palm Springs, California, “who motivated me every day.”

Part Ping-Pong, tennis, badminton and chess, pickleball involves hitting a whiffleball-like sphere with a paddle over a net. The game, which is highly social, is typi cally played as doubles in a small space like a mini tennis court and requires little running. There’s even a small area near the net known invitingly as the Kitchen. What could go “Achilles’wrong?strains or tears, shoulder problems, rotator cuff injuries, lower back problems such as disc injuries, muscle strains,” said Noe Sariban, a pickleball instructor, former pro player and physi cal therapist who markets himself as the Pickleball Doctor. And, of course, there’s lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow — now pickleball elbow.

“I’m reaching to hit a routine rolling vol ley, one I’ve hit a million times,” he said. “I hit the ball, and I feel my back lock up, and in my head, I go, ‘Uh-oh.’” Within minutes, he had to lie down on the court. “I could barely walk,” he said. “I sat in the car, and my wife had to swing my legs around” and into the passenger well. He had herniated two discs. “I thought I was never going to play a sport ever again in my life,” he said. Since then, Sariban has become con scientious about stretching, and he teaches players at his clinics to do the same, which includes warming up without a paddle before any hitting starts. “It is amazing to me how no one warms up,” he said. “I’ve taught in a lot of states, and it’s the same thing everywhere. Pickleball players are notorious about not warming up.”

The number of injuries “grew rapidly” from 2010 to 2019, according to an analy sis of emergency room visits related to pickleball published last year in the jour nal Injury Epidemiology. The article fo cused on injuries among people older than 60 because players in that demographic accounted for 85% of the visits, the study found. The most common injuries were sprains, strains and fractures. The study found that by 2018, the number of emergency room visits related to pickleball among people 60 and older equaled that for tennis. Many pickleball players are older; the average age is 38, but half of all “core” players — meaning devotees — are 55 and above, according to USA Pickleball, which calls itself the sport’s governing body. In general, older bodies are more likely than younger ones to have existing strains, which are easily amplified. But pickleball is deceptively demand ing at any age. It involves quick stops and starts, and lots of lunging and twisting, said Dr. Neil Roth, an orthopedist in Westches ter County, New York. Overhead shots tear at shoulder joints. And on a small court, the effort seems innocuous, so players tend to reach or bend to make a play that is harder on the body than it looks. In ten nis, a new player might not think to chase down a distant ball, whereas in pickleball, the temptation is greater to bend, reach, charge.This month, Roth met with a 53-yearold patient who was experiencing excru ciating pain when he lifted his right arm over his head. The injury, from pickleball, turned out to be a labrum tear, a condition that Roth saw quite often when he worked for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cali fornia Angels; he has also treated cases caused by tennis and swimming.

Pickleball,36 sport of the future injury?

“Pickleball kind of sounds like a game with a silly name, but it’s a sport,” Sariban said. “It’s no bocce ball.”

By MATT RICHTEL D uring a recent pickleball match, Nish Nadaraja, 50, made a quick lunge for the ball. It was just a few feet away, but Nadaraja, an entrepreneur in Northern California, said he felt his feet tangle, and he began falling to the pave ment “in slow motion.” He still hoped to brace himself with his knees and make a play with his paddle. Nope. “I face-planted,” he said. The pain was mild, and Nadaraja played through it, although his wife (and doubles opponent) thought he should have rested. “I did need antibiotics,” he con ceded.Itwas another wound stemming from a national sensation that shares a name with a snack or a sandwich topping but that is proving a bit more hazardous than sometimes advertised. As a flock of mid dle-aged players migrate from tennis or start fresh with an easy-to-learn sport, the aches are defying the game’s low-impact reputation.Pickleball injuries were on the rise even before the pandemic.

“You’re absolutely not just sitting around hitting the ball,” Roth said of pickleball. Players are engaging the “long muscles of the lower legs, the gastrocs, the quads and the hamstrings,” he added. Stops and starts lead to slips. That helps explain why the largest share of emergency room injuries identified in the 2021 study fell (as it were) into a category that researchers labeled Slip/Trip/Fall/Dive.

Something on your mind, Aries? As messenger Mercury opposes escapist Neptune, you might prefer to forget about it rather than sort it out now. And perhaps just for today, this is not a bad idea. This dreamy aspect encourages you to simplify your schedule, and to lose yourself in an inspiring movie or go somewhere beautiful. Avoid crowds, and relish some peace and quiet.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Leo (July 24-Aug 23)

With Mercury in the orderly sign of Virgo, a project or job may be claiming a lot of your time and attention, and you can be heavily invested in the outcome. If so, keep tempting thoughts out of your mind, if they encourage you to cut corners or find a quick fix, especially with ethereal Neptune in the mix. Do your best Leo, and you’ll send the right signals to all the right people.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Mercury’s face-off with Neptune across your communication axis, can make it easier to get the wrong end of the stick. One simple slip-up could lead to a trail of misunderstandings and mishaps. Staying alert at key moments might help prevent this. Double check the times of appointments, dates and even deadlines, as this may assist the smooth running of your plans.

With dreamy Neptune shimmering in your lifestyle sector, sticking to a routine may not be the easiest thing. Sparkling ideas and impulses can lead you to change your mind, and try something else that appeals to the imagination. You might be drawn to explore spiritual activities such as yoga or meditation, or to get involved with creative projects that involve you best talents.

You may have a compelling reason to spend time with someone. With Mercury facing off with Neptune and moving to align with Pluto, thoughts of this encounter could cause you to dream and fantasize about what the outcome might be. While this can be a beautiful thing, it may also be a tad stressful if you can’t stop thinking about it. Relax, and let things happen naturally.

While a Mercury/Neptune link can inspire you to keep a low profile, the Sun in a forward- looking sector, encourages you to head out in search of new opportunities. Yet it could be easier to stay at home watching a movie, reading a book or doing anything that allows you to unwind. If you’re tired, perhaps it’s wise to listen to your body and have an easy, but enjoyable day.

Virgo (Aug 24-Sep 23)

You have a natural creative ability that can be impressive, if you decide to develop it. The coming weeks encourage you to hone a skill or talent, to the point where you feel confident and begin to attain mastery over it. Don’t listen to others who might try to put you off, as this is a peak time to showcase your work and get people interested. You never know where it might lead, Taurus.

Try to keep your transactions simple and don’t complicate matters, and you’ll avoid unnecessary mistakes. This could be key where finances are concerned, as the easier the deal or interaction, the less room there is for a mix-up that might take a while to resolve. Still, Mercury links to Neptune today and to intense Pluto tomorrow, so you’ll need to be strong to sidestep temptation.

Your focus could be scattered with so many things of interest to you now, that Mars is hot-footing it through your sign. And with thoughtful Mercury your ruler opposing aquatic Neptune, you might find it even more difficult to concentrate on crucial details. Perhaps you shouldn’t even try! Have something important on the boil? Deal with it tomorrow when Pluto can assist.

Things may not be quite as they seem, as a nebulous Mercury/Neptune tie could confuse matters. This might apply to signing a deal or discussing a key issue, as well as pondering a decision. There’s also a chance of a skewed perspective. If something is important, you might want to read the small print, check the facts or hold back from signing anything. Trust your instincts, Virgo!

Prefer to give someone the benefit of the doubt, and accept them at their word? With dreamy Neptune in your sign, it could be easy to attribute this person with traits or qualities that you have imagined, and that might not be real. With relentless Pluto also in the mix, it’s wise to listen to a friend who encourages you to be cautious and take your time, rather than being too trusting.

Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Exploring your creative potential looks to be rewarding, and a good way to channel intense energies. Whether you have an inclination towards arts, crafts, music or anything else, being able to express yourself could be therapeutic and enjoyable. At the same time, activities that enable you to appreciate beauty, such as a walk in nature, might help you tap into inner peace and calm.
