f elected at-large representative under the Popular Democratic Party (PDP), businesswoman Enid Monge will promote legislation to boost small and midsize businesses, which for decades have been neglected by governing administrations, she said. As a lawmaker, the first thing Monge will do will be to overhaul the island’s permitting law, which she believes is preventing the growth of local business. The New Progressive Party, she said, has been deteriorating the permitting process by slowly eliminating the one-stop permit, which allowed entrepreneurs to obtain permits in one place to start operating. “The current administration has dedicated itself to eliminating the ‘permiso único’ [single permit] to the point where we still do not have regulations for it. They have created bureaucracy,” Monge told the Star. “This hurts the creation of businesses.” She also plans to find ways to boost the farming sector to ensure Puerto Rico has more local sources of food and will promote the creation of patents and manufacturing to strengthen exports. Monge announced in December that she would run for an at-large House seat under the PDP insignia in this fall’s general elections. Her candidacy has the support of PDP leadership such as House legislators Rafael “Tatito” Hernández Montañez and Roberto Rivera Ruiz de Porras, Sen. José Luis Dalmau, and San Lorenzo Mayor José “Joe” Román. Monge is not new to politics, however. She headed the United Retailers Association and was also the business sector representative on the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority board. “I am going to contribute all the experiences that I have accumulated over the years, not only as a businesswoman, but as an advocate and promoter of entrepreneurship and the retention and generation of jobs,” she said. Monge knows first hand the plight of small businesses. The flower shop she owns has been hurt by the current pandemic and the high unemployment rate. While Gov. Wanda Vázquez Garced promised to help businesses, and Congress earmarked help to businesses under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Monge said that like hers, many small businesses on the island did not see a cent of the funds. “I did not get any help,” she said. She plans to overhaul the current incentives law, which at times appears to benefit big business over the small business sector.

“It is important to bring in manufacturing and investment, but they have to bring added value,” Monge said. “Not everything has to come from outside of Puerto Rico. We need to have a strong local business sector.” One of the factors impacting local businesses is the high cost of energy, with rates that are higher for the business sector. She said other sectors also charge businesses more for their services. “If you want to buy a sign and you are a business, they will charge you more,” she said. “That needs to change.” Among her plans to help boost business and increase employment is to meet with university officials to discuss their curriculum, which she said does not go hand in hand with what future employers want. “We need to transform the entire country,” Monge said. She also noted that while Puerto Rico has its homegrown produce, such as coconuts, “we bring everything from out of Puerto Rico.” Like many members of the business sector, Monge has objected to the government’s handling of the pandemic, which has caused the shutdown of numerous businesses. She said she spent two months without any income because of the lockdown. “I think that if you educate the people and put the mechanisms in place to deal with the pandemic, you will be able to control the spread,” she said. “These closings have made an enormous hole in the economy.” Monge added that she plans to continue to conduct her political campaign via social media and “a few radio and television ads.”

PDP seeks SEC chairman’s removal in fraud complaint over early voting By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

opular Democratic Party (PDP) Electoral Commissioner Nicolás Gautier Vega filed a complaint Thursday asking for the removal of State Elections Commission Chairman Ernesto Dávila Rivera, saying that Dávila Rivera was setting up potential electoral fraud by establishing two-way early voting by mail for the General Elections on Nov. 3. “The decisions of the chairman of the State Elections Commission, Juan Ernesto Dávila Rivera, related to the Early Voting by mail is an invitation to commit fraud,” Gautier said in a written statement, adding that he anticipates problems in complying with the electoral calendar. “The determination of the SEC chairman to adopt measures that promote electoral fraud in the Early Voting, together with the gross breach of his ministerial duty and the manifest partiality to the detriment of a political party, among other [reasons] validates our action in filing a complaint for the immediate removal of Rivera Dávila from his chairmanship,” Gautier said. “The chairman’s decisions undermine the transparency and proper functioning of the electoral processes. Dávila is a judge, and therefore he knows the law and knows that in his position decisions must be based on the best interest of the Commission and not on advancing political agendas.” Gautier said that on Tuesday the party electoral

commissioners met to discuss the Advance Vote form, which establishes that the early voting modality must be processed by mail. After several hours of discussion, the electoral commissioners agreed to accept the suggestions of the SEC chairman, which included sending ballots by mail to voters who requested them. A minimum number of days would be established for the voter to go to the Permanent Registration Board where they would identify themselves, sign the voting list and process their ballots through the counting machine. It was also agreed that the machine would remain in the Permanent Registration Board until the last day of early voting and then it would be taken to the administrative board for early voting. “The commissioners of the four minority parties consented to the agreed recommendations. The [New Progressive Party] representative was the only one who voted against it,” Gautier said. “When we received the Certification of Disagreement we noted that the chairman did not accept his own recommendations and without any justification determined that the Vote by Mail would be used in both directions. This means that the voter receives and sends the ballots by mail. It is irresponsible on the part of the chairman to annul the agreements that have been made.” Among the reasons the PDP opposes the voting by mail process are the lack of a regulation or manual that establishes the implementation of the vote by mail, and the lack of knowledge about the capacity of the general post offices to process hundreds of requests at

According to Gautier, the decisions of the chairman of the State Elections Commission, Juan Ernesto Dávila Rivera, related to the Early Voting by mail are an invitation to commit fraud. once on the same day. “Without a doubt, the lack of a regulation that guarantees a transparent and responsible procedure is an invitation to fraud,” Gautier said. “Our party is resolutely opposed to this determination and demands the immediate resignation of the chairman.”

Citizen Victory Movement candidate presents anti-corruption proposals By THE STAR STAFF

by the CVM’s candidate for mayor of San Juan, Manuel Natal, so that all public officials convicted of corruption return the public funds for which they were prosecuted. In the area of transparency and government oversight, she proposes expanding the Open Data Law to all government agencies, including the Legislative Assembly. Last week, after the arrest of two legislators from the New Progressive Party (NPP) for alleged appropriation of public funds, Prados Rodríguez asked the leaders of the House and Senate to make public the salaries of all personnel who work in the Legislative Assembly.

ubmitting amendments to the Transparency and Open Data laws, promoting independent and citizen oversight, and passing legislation that discourages both political investment and impunity for corrupt public officials are some of the proposals presented by Eva Prados Rodríguez, a candidate for San Juan District 3 representative under the Citizen Victory Movement (CVM) banner. The candidate promises to promote a government that is accountable, participatory, and truly offers citizens free access to public information. “For years citizens have demanded that the rulers be transparent in the management of public funds and that they be held accountable,” said Prados Rodríguez, who was a spokesman for the Citizen Front for the Debt Audit. “Failure to do so has had dire consequences for this and future generations, such as public indebtedness and high levels of mistrust in the face of government corruption.” She noted that Puerto Rico is the jurisdiction with the 10th highest number of government corruption cases in the United States and that the federal prosecutor’s office has processed 375 convictions of this type in the past 10 years. Among her legislative proposals to eradicate government corruption, she mentioned the creation of specialized anti-corruption chambers and the training of judges and prosecutors to deal with such cases. In addition, Prados Rodríguez plans to overhaul the review process for appointments to the Special Independent Prosecutor Candidate for representative for the CVM, Eva Prados, Panel so that, in their selection, there is participation of civil society promises to promote a government that is accountable, and professional entities. She will also recommend a single term for participatory, and truly offers citizens free access to the members of that panel. She also supports legislation proposed public information.

“The blatant response of these two elected leaders is that this request would be very onerous,” said Prados Rodríguez, an attorney, while insisting on the citizen’s right to know how public money is used in that body made up of elected officials. To end the practice of so-called ghost employees, it is urgent that Capitol staff positions and salaries be posted on legislative websites, she said. She also proposed legislation to discourage political investment. Recently, a public accountant and donor to the NPP was arrested for allegedly being part of a scheme to obtain contracts from government agencies. “To end the ‘today for you, tomorrow for me,’ we must establish transparent, competitive and accessible contracting processes for professional services in the government, where the calls or requests for proposals are published on the internet, on social networks and in newspapers,” Prados Rodríguez said. “This will promote competition and scrutiny on the part of the public.” Among other measures that she will present upon being elected in San Juan District 3, is to prohibit the appointment of people to a public agency who have economic interests in companies or businesses regulated by that agency. The CVM candidate will also promote the recommendations of the Center for Law and Democracy to amend the Transparency Law and the Open Data Law, so that they apply to all branches of government and financial fines are imposed on officials and agencies that do not respond to requests for information. “The collapse in public trust in public service is going to be one of the first issues that I will address, always promoting participation, access to information and zero impunity for corruption,” Prados Rodríguez said.

New virus tracking program launches in Canóvanas By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

esident Commissioner Jenniffer González Colón, along with Canóvanas Mayor Lornna Soto Villanueva, Health Secretary Lorenzo González, Health Department epidemiologist Fabiola Cruz and the town’s epidemiologist, Krystal Díaz, on Thursday presented the Case and Contact Tracking Program of the Municipality of Canóvanas with the purpose of stabilizing cases of COVID-19 in the northeastern town. The program aims to control the spread of the coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, in Canóvanas by establishing a tracking system that reaches at least 80 percent of contacts in the first 24 hours, monitoring their symptoms, analysis and uniform statistics that report key indicators, identifying cases in laboratory reports that have not yet been reported at the central level, identifying and linking the needs of those affected with aid provided by the different municipal and government agencies and establishing administrative and fiscal processes for the implementation of the program. “I am very grateful to my friend and Resident Commissioner Jennifer González, who did not skimp on offering her unconditional help during this deadly virus pandemic,” the mayor said. “Thanks to her hard work from Congress, we have managed to live in a historic moment with allocations of federal funds to manage emergencies and other programs aimed at promoting and protecting the health of all Puerto Ricans.” González Colón, who like the Health secretary participated virtually, said “[t]oday we were able to see the fruit of our work in Congress and our commitment

Health Secretary Lorenzo González to insert Puerto Rico into aid packages to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic that adds up to nearly $10 billion in federal funds directly for the island.” “For me it is important to be able to see these funds turned into works like this program for the benefit of our people,” the resident commissioner said. “We are going through difficult times and it is vital to be able to have the resources necessary to control infections. Physical distancing and health measures are essential, but screening for positives will help us prevent the rapid spread of

the virus from continuing.” The island Health secretary said “it is extremely important that municipalities reinforce contact tracing programs, because they are core pieces to feed the central system and identify infections with greater efficiency.” “Remember that we are in a phase of community transmission, and anyone can spread the virus from anywhere, so it is vital to follow prevention measures,” he said. “I reiterate that the contact tracing carried out in Puerto Rico is effective and is getting stronger and stronger. Through the Health Department’s Municipal System of Case Investigation and Contact Tracking, we will give the municipalities all the support they need to develop their programs effectively.” Soto Villanueva added that “[s]ince the beginning of the pandemic in Canóvanas we have not rested, working to protect the health and safety of the people of Canóvanas, developing efforts to prevent and reduce contagion.” “With this program that we present to you today, our goal is to control COVID-19 infections in the municipality through different health strategies,” the mayor said. The program was developed with a proposal to the Health Department for its first stage and in which it received federal aid as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act totaling $403,590. In turn, the program has an allocation of $100,000 from municipal funds for technical support, operational matters and infrastructure. At the program’s headquarters are two “office trailers” that are equipped with internet and electricity connections, as well as 13 tables, 13 chairs, 13 security panels, 13 laptops and 13 telephones assigned to each member of the team.

Price of gasoline to rise due to Hurricane Laura’s impact in Texas, Louisiana By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

he price of gasoline in Puerto Rico will rise due to the impact of Hurricane Laura on refineries in Texas and Louisiana, Gasoline Retailers Association (ADG by its Spanish initials), President Rafael Mercado confirmed on Thursday. In a radio interview, Mercado confirmed that “in recent weeks the price of a liter of gasoline in Puerto Rico had risen” by several cents. Regarding the impact of Hurricane Laura, which made landfall in Texas and Louisiana early Thursday with winds of 150 miles per hour, he said the five largest fuel refineries in the United States were in the path of the then-category 4 hurricane. Mercado said it is “difficult to predict how much the price of gasoline will rise” until the damage to the refineries and the time it will take to make repairs are evaluated.

Although about 80 percent of the gasoline received in Puerto Rico comes from countries other than the United States, the ADG president noted that the market is sensitive to a decline in fuel refining, and that will eventually lead to a rise in prices. He said the price of a liter of gasoline in Puerto Rico is presently close to 60 cents.

Hurricanes, a pandemic and gov’t bureaucracy didn’t stop this inclusive, unique business from blooming Queer- and trans-led Restaurant-Bar Coffeeshop Loverbar is open to provide a safe dining experience for the LGBTTQIAP+ community, and for everyone By PEDRO CORREA HENRY Twitter: @PCorreaHenry Special to The Star

lthough the passing of Hurricane Maria nearly three years ago set businesses back, and the COVID-19 pandemic has led many to shut down indefinitely, Restaurant-Bar-Coffeeshop Loverbar has opened its doors to provide an accessible and hearty menu to the Río Piedras community and to serve Puerto Rico’s queer and trans community, as owner Jhoni Jackson told the Star on Thursday. Jackson said the concept was a plan that she began developing with trans non-binary chef Bex Suculentx Bianchi back in 2017 as they wanted to open a nightlife spot that served as a safe haven for trans, queer and nonbinary people. Nonetheless, it wasn’t until Aug. 20 that they had the opportunity to open up a daytime venue as both the COVID-19 pandemic and the government’s executive orders has sent queer nightlife in Puerto Rico into the digital world. The freelance journalist also said she wanted to build a space that would cultivate “queer ethics,” a place where both employees and clients would stand against transphobia, homophobia, racism and sexism, which are the rules painted on the wall as you enter the establishment. “Everyone is welcome as long as you respect the queer ethics that we firmly planted up front; everybody has to respect that”, Jackson said. “Here, respectful treatment is guaranteed.” Meanwhile, Jackson said her future vision for Loverbar is for it to be an enterprise that provides safe and respectful employment for the LGBTQIAP+ community, as members tend to be susceptible to low incomes, misgendering, microaggressions and harassment. “I want to provide employment where people can

just be themselves completely and not have to worry about that bullshit. And the more we expand, the more communities we can reach, the more we can serve,” she said. “In a post-COVID world, I want to stay open during the night and day.” As for the food, Bianchi, who is the head chef of Loverbites by Ubuntu Kitchen (Ubuntu means “I am because we are” in Zulu), said their menu is varied and economically priced, with both vegetarian and plant-based options, such as the Ubuntu-Style Beyond Burger, which has garlic, three cheeses, red onions, cilantro aioli, garlic oil and paprika, served on waffles or bread and with plantain chips on the side. Meanwhile, for a healthier menu, there’s “La Jartera,” which is a breakfast dish that includes two eggs, waffles, oatmeal and a fruit salad. “These plates come from a more refined culinary experience, but I wanted to bring this experience to Río Piedras at a more accessible price range for [university] students, professors and other members of the community to have a delicious and substantial meal at a good price,” Bianchi said.

Bianchi, who goes by the pronouns they/them, said that once Jackson told them that Loverbar was open for business, they felt marvelous as there was the opportunity to provide happiness through the kitchen. Likewise, the chef welcomed the feeling of liberation as they can be themselves and work at a judgment-free place. “They use my correct name, my correct pronouns,” they said. “I have that freedom of expression and [the opportunity] to support my community from the kitchen, which is what I am passionate about. It’s great to be in a healthy and blessed place.” Jackson, meawhile, told the Star that after she resigned from the local live music venue Club 77 in September 2016, she wanted to open up a queer nightlife spot. Despite raising up to $1,000 with local fundraisers she organized and produced, Hurricane Maria set her goals back to zero. The founder added that both landlord-tenant disputes and delays in acquiring her enterprise’s operating permits from the island State Department kept setting her back; however, she kept at it until in early June she finally had every legal document in hand. “We kept waiting and waiting, trying to build up the space, getting the kitchen ready, as there wasn’t one,” Jackson said. “This is not like it was before, at all. It looks completely different now.” Loverbar is located on Ponce de León Avenue in Río Piedras and is open Thursday to Sunday from 10 a.m till 6 p.m. Face covering masks and physical distancing are required.

Island economic index drops in May and June By JOHN McPHAUL jpmcphaul@gmail.com

conomic Development Bank of Puerto Rico (BDE by its Spanish initials) President Pablo Muñiz Reyes published data on Thursday related to the Economic Activity Index (IAE by its Spanish initials) for May and June 2020 indicating that the island’s index had dropped. Muñiz Reyes said the numbers show a level of 109.7 and 108.8 in May and June, respectively, which represents month-onmonth reductions of 3.5 percent and 0.8 percent and decreases of 10.2 percent and 10.8 percent when compared with the same

months of the previous year. These would be the third and fourth consecutive monthly declines after 20 months of year-on-year increases. “Currently, the IAE-BDE analysis period includes the months from which the island experienced the consequences of a 6.4-magnitude earthquake, followed by strong aftershocks, complicated by the subsequent state of emergency decree due to the severity and scope that characterizes the current COVID-19 pandemic,” Muñiz Reyes said. In accumulated terms, the IAE-BDE average for 2019 was 122.6, showing a 1.6 percent increase versus 2018, the second consecutive annual growth after five years with consecutive annual

reductions. However, the accumulated average of the IAE-BDE for fiscal year 2020 ended at 119.6, which translates into a decrease of 2.5 percent versus fiscal year 2019 (122.1 or +6.1 percent). In turn, the accumulated average of the IAE-BDE for the first semester of the year 2020 (January-June) is 116.2, which represents a reduction of 4.9 percent. Finally, during June 2020, two of the four components of the IAE-BDE: cement sales and electricity generation, showed increases of 19.1 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively, while non-agricultural salaried employment dropped 8.9 percent and gasoline consumption dropped 30.1 percent. All results were compared to June 2019 figures.

Laura lashes gulf coast with high winds and flooding By THE NEW YORK TIMES

urricane Laura pounded the Louisiana and Texas coasts as it made landfall near Cameron, Louisiana, as a Category 4 storm early Thursday, delivering a barrage of 150 mph winds and massive storm surge. The cyclone weakened as it moved inland, but remained destructive, with strong winds and heavy rain, and forecasters said it could spawn tornadoes. At 10 a.m. Central time, the storm was centered around Campti, Louisiana, a town on the Red River about 50 miles southeast of Shreveport, with hurricaneforce winds extending up to 35 miles in all directions, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm was moving northward at 16 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph — near the low end of the Category 1 range — and it was expected to weaken to a tropical storm in the next few hours. Videos on social media showed the storm’s winds causing major damage to buildings and vehicles in their path. In Lake Charles, Louisiana, gusts blew out dozens of windows in a high-rise office building, the 22-story Capital One tower, and ripped the top off a sky bridge, tipped an RV on its side, and downed power lines. The whistling winds mimicked the alarm-like sounds that could be heard inside buildings, and tore trees from the ground. Landfall came after officials in both states issued the gravest of warnings about the storm, which is among the strongest ever to hit the United States, according to data compiled by Philip Klotzbach, a research scientist at Colorado State University who studies hurricanes. More than 1.5 million people in the coastal regions of Texas and Louisiana were under some form of evacuation orders. Utility companies reported that about 404,000 customers in Louisiana and another 104,000 in Texas were without power Thursday morning, according to PowerOutage.us. The full extent of damage will not be known until the winds die down, the storm surge recedes and residents and officials can survey the wreckage. Gov. John Bel Edwards of Louisiana

People gather at the Burton Complex, an event center in Lake Charles, La., Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2020, to evacuate the area ahead of Hurricane Laura. said Thursday morning that his state had been hit with “extensive” damage to structures, particularly in the Lake Charles area. Search and rescue teams were on their way to Lake Charles, he said. “We believe we got a break on the storm surge,” at least so far, he said on CNN, noting that it had not appeared to reach the extreme heights that forecasters said were possible. But it may still be coming in, he said, adding, “This was an extremely powerful storm.” His office confirmed that a 14-yearold girl in Vernon Parish, Louisiana, was killed when a tree fell on her home, the first confirmed U.S. death from the storm. The center of the storm passed through the parish after dawn. Edwards said the state was taking COVID-19 precautions at shelters and in its rescue efforts; otherwise Louisiana could “pay the price” in a couple of weeks with a surge in cases. Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas said his state had no recorded storm fatalities yet. “The storm surge and the powerful winds could have led to catastrophic deaths,” Abbott said on CNN. “We no doubt saved lives, because of those evacuations.” The governor said search and rescue teams were in the Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange County areas, near the Loui-

siana state line, looking for individuals in need. “People in northeast Texas still need to remain very vigilant right now,” he said. Lake Charles area, with little protection from the storm, is pounded by wind and rain. The city of Lake Charles was pummeled early Thursday, lashed by punishing rains and winds as Hurricane Laura swept overhead. At 3 a.m. local time, the National Hurricane Center said that the city’s airport was reporting gusts of 132 mph. For over an hour, there were reports of wind gusts over 120 mph, and social media quickly filled with images of destruction. The city lies about 30 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, but that is no protection from the severe flash flooding that forecasters expected to accompany the storm as it pushes inland over Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas over the next two days. “Anybody watching in these areas along the Louisiana coast, I mean, it is too dangerous to be outside,” the director of the National Hurricane Center, Ken Graham, said in a video posted to Twitter late Wednesday. “I hope you’re not there. I hope you evacuated.” Floodwaters may be “held in place” for hours as the storm sweeps through

Louisiana. The storm surge in southern Louisiana and the Lake Charles area may last for another day, while hurricane-force winds reach north to the border of Louisiana and Arkansas, Graham said Thursday. Speaking on CNN a few hours after Hurricane Laura made landfall, Graham said there was storm surge of up to 11 feet in some areas, and that some it may be “held in place” for hours if not longer. “It may take another day before some of that water gets out of there,” he said. The flooding would cause “all sorts of damage” along the coastline, he said, warning that the continuing rainfall could cause flash floods. With reports of homes having their roofs blown off, offices with their windows shattered and extensive damage to infrastructure, including communications towers, he said that residents were probably waking up to find widespread wreckage. “You can’t put 150-mile-an-hour winds anywhere without seeing structural damage,” he said. Graham said that Hurricane Laura was projected to remain strong even as it moved far inland. “We expect Hurricane Laura still to be a hurricane right up to when you get to Shreveport, at the Arkansas border,” he said. The hurricane center had warned that the storm surge might exceed 15 feet in some places and reach up to 40 miles inland. It was not clear on Thursday whether any populated areas had been hit that hard. Clyde Cain, a leader of the Cajun Navy, the volunteer armada that deploys in storm zones for water rescues and other work, said early Thursday that he and his fellow boaters were starting to get requests to check on people whose homes or apartments were damaged by the wind. But, he said, they had gotten no calls yet for any boat rescues. “They were saying ‘unsurvivable surge,’” said Cain, who was gathered with other boat operators in Crowley, Louisiana, a small Cajun city about an hour east of Lake Charles. “We’re not really sure yet, but we haven’t really heard reports that it was a big as Katrina, or anything like that.”

Over 100 ex-staff members for John McCain endorse Joe Biden By JOHNATHAN MARTIN

ore than 100 former staff members for Sen. John McCain are supporting Joe Biden, a show of support across the political divide that they hope amplifies the “Country First” credo of the former Arizona senator. That motto and “his frequent call on Americans to serve causes greater than our self-interest were not empty slogans like so much of our politics today,” the group of aides, most of them still Republicans, wrote in a joint statement, praising McCain and implicitly taking aim at President Donald Trump. “They were the creed by which he lived, and he urged us to do the same.” The list of signatories includes a range of people — from chiefs of staff in McCain’s Senate office to junior aides on his campaigns — who worked for him over his 35 years in Congress and during two presidential bids. Mark Salter, McCain’s longtime chief aide and speechwriter, helped organize the letter. “We have different views of Joe Biden and the Democratic Party platform — most of us will disagree with a fair amount of it — but we all agree that getting Donald Trump out of office is clearly in the national interest,” Salter said. Coinciding withTrump’s renomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday and the second anniversary of McCain’s death this week, the joint endorsement of Biden represents the latest effort from anti-Trump Republicans to lure conservatives and moderates away from the president.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) greets supporters as he opens a new campaign office in Tucson on May 31, 2016. Democrats used their convention last week to recall the friendship Biden and McCain forged and to highlight the support Biden enjoys from some former Republican lawmakers and national security officials. Many of the onetime McCain aides who signed the letter share his hawkish foreign policy views and recoil from Trump’s “America First” politics, which Salter called his “coddling of dictators or disinterest in our alliances.” The statement alone is unlikely to affect the presidential race. However, an allied Republican group is hoping to capitalize on it by airing a new television ad in Arizona, a highly competitive state, that contrasts McCain’s acceptance of the Republican

presidential nomination in 2008 with a series of Trump’s more inflammatory statements. “A word to Senator Obama and his supporters,” McCain said at the time, in words that the group, Republican Voters Against Trump, uses in the ad. “Despite our differences, much more unites us than divides us. We are fellow Americans, and that’s an association that means more to me than any other.” The statement is also slated to run in The Washington Post on Friday, the morning after Trump’s acceptance speech. The quadrennial nominating conventions usually offer tributes to party leaders who have died since the last gathering. But at this week’s Republican convention there has been no mention of McCain, who clashed bitterly with Trump and did not want the president at his funeral. (Trump continued attacking McCain after his death.) Nor has anything been done yet to honor former President George Bush, who also died in 2018. Indeed, it’s most likely that McCain will end up having had more of a tribute at the Democratic convention than at his own party’s. His widow, Cindy McCain, participated in a video recounting his friendship with Biden but did not address the virtual Democratic gathering. It remains unclear how far she’ll go with her support for Biden, who is hoping to put Arizona in the Democratic column for the first time since 1996.McCain’s closest advisers were particularly touched by the kindness of Biden in his former colleague’s final months and how he traveled to Arizona to visit McCain at his cabin.

What to know about California’s Coronavirus testing expansion By JILL COWAN

alifornia officials on Wednesday flexed the market muscle of the nation’s most populous state, announcing a deal they said would more than double the state’s coronavirus testing capacity, driving down costs significantly. “We are moving forward in a different direction to disrupt the market,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said. “We’re advancing this partnership as only California can with our purchasing power and the number of people we have.” Coming in addition to the more than 100,000 tests conducted across the state on average each day, the new lab and supply chain run by the diagnostics company PerkinElmer, based in Massachusetts, will allow for 150,000 more tests per day, with a required turnaround of no more than two days, allowing public health officials to move quickly to identify outbreaks. That speed and capacity, officials said, will be critical for safely reopening schools and businesses. Newsom said that he would unveil updated reopening guidelines on Friday. The lab will ramp up starting this fall, a time at which experts worry a second wave of coronavirus cases will coincide with flu season, creating what Newsom described as a kind of respiratory “twindemic.” He said the deal with PerkinElmer would allow health care workers in California to test simultaneously for the flu and the coronavirus at no additional cost. The announcement comes not long after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly revised its testing guidelines to exclude people who don’t have symptoms of COVID-19, even if they have been exposed. Public health experts, who attribute much of the virus’s spread to people who are infected but not symptomatic, called the guideline change alarming and dangerous.

California was the first state to recommend tests for some people without symptoms, and officials have been vocal about the need for widespread testing — particularly in populations that have been disproportionately affected by the virus, such as Latino Californians working in essential jobs. But in mid-July, the state had to adjust its testing guidelines to be stricter, as the state contended with soaring cases and a national shortage of testing supplies. On Wednesday, Newsom roundly rejected the CDC guidelines and positioned the new testing program as a kind of response to insufficient help from the federal government. “This is exactly what the federal government should be doing,” he said. “If you had seen the federal government doing this, it would’ve saved taxpayers billions of dollars.” State officials said the average cost of a coronavirus test currently ranges from $150 to $200. Once the new partnership is at full capacity, each test will cost as little as $31, although the higher figure also included things like staff protective gear, while The Sacramento Bee reported the lower price does not. Testing availability has varied widely across the country, and waits for results have stretched into weeks in some cases, making it impossible to warn contacts in time to contain the spread.

Three charged with leaking movies as part of global piracy ring By JACEY FORTIN

hree men are facing federal charges of participating in an international piracy ring that distributed popular movies and television shows online before their release dates, prosecutors announced Wednesday. The men, who have been charged with copyright infringement conspiracy, were accused of being members of the Sparks Group, a sophisticated piracy outfit spanning several continents. One of the men, George Bridi, 50, of the United Kingdom, was arrested in Cyprus on Sunday. An American, Jonatan Correa, 36, was arrested in Olathe, Kansas, on Tuesday. Authorities were still searching for the third man, Umar Ahmad, 39, of Norway. “The group allegedly circumvented copyright protections on nearly every movie released by major production studios as well as television shows and distributed them by way of a worldwide network of servers,” Audrey Strauss, acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York said Wednesday that an American and a British man had been arrested and that a third person, a Norwegian, was being sought. These charges are significant, said Ernesto van der Sar, founder of TorrentFreak, an outlet that has covered the piracy scene for years. “This is pretty high up,” he said. “I think it’s spooked a lot of people because, generally speaking, these people are very private and wellversed in hiding their identities.” TorrentFreak reported that

shortly before the indictments were unsealed, news of the arrests had seemed to be spreading among elite members of the international piracy scene, and some of their servers — even those not directly affiliated with the Sparks Group — appeared to have been shut down out of caution. According to the statement from authorities, members of the Sparks Group fraudulently obtained DVDs and Blu-ray Discs from wholesale distributors in New York and New Jersey, at times misrepresenting why they were obtaining the discs before the retail release date. From 2011 to 2020, Ahmad and Bridi arranged for discs to be mailed or delivered to other members of the group, including Correa, prosecutors said. The men were also accused of using software to circumvent copyright protections in order to distribute movies or television shows online. “The movies and TV shows allegedly stolen by these defendants not only represent a body of work ripped off from those who

spent years developing their craft and working their way to stardom, but deprives the studios and actors of the fruits of their labor,” Philip Bartlett, the inspector-in-charge of the New York office of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, said in the statement. It was not immediately clear whether the two men arrested had lawyers. Evan Greer, a deputy director with Fight for the Future, a nonprofit digital rights organization, said she understood the importance of copyright laws but questioned this type of enforcement. “What it does is protect the profits of a small handful of large Hollywood institutions and strengthen the monopoly power of companies like Apple, Netflix, Amazon and Google,” she said. “In public libraries we can share books, movies and music freely and without restriction,” she added. “The only reason that’s not true on the internet is because Hollywood and big record labels have lobbied fiercely to make it illegal instead of adapting their business models to the reality that the internet is here to stay.” In the statement Wednesday, U.S. officials said they had worked with Europol and law agencies in 18 other countries to shut down servers that the piracy groups had used to share content. It added that the Sparks Group had cost film production studios tens of millions of dollars. The copyright infringement charges, which carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison, were filed in January and unsealed in New York on Tuesday. Bridi was also charged with wire fraud, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, and conspiracy to transport stolen property interstate, which carries a maximum sentence of five years.

Sweden raises alarm over Russian military exercises

Two JAS-37 fighter jets flying over a Swedish Navy corvette off the coast of Gotland, Sweden, on Tuesday, in a photo supplied by the Swedish Armed Forces. By THOMAS ERDBRINK and ANDREW E. KRAMER

oliday makers in Sweden heading out Tuesday to enjoy summer weather on Gotland, a scenic island in the Baltic Sea, were jolted when armored personnel carriers and other military vehicles boarded their tourist ferry, which was then escorted by Swedish fighter jets and a warship. In addition to being a tourist destination, Gotland is also a strategically important site, often referred to as Sweden’s “fixed aircraft carrier.” The Swedish military deployed four naval warships and unspecified numbers of ground troops and warplanes in response to a major Russian naval exercise that has set off alarms regionally. A U.S. Air Force C-130 landed briefly in Visby, Gotland, on Saturday, said Therese Fagerstedt, a press officer at the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters. But she denied the flight had any connection to the Swedish military activities. Russia’s moves may have been prompted by recent NATO exercises in the area, military experts said, as well as the unrest in Belarus and President Donald Trump’s decision to redeploy troops from Germany to Poland. The result, Jan Thörnqvist, chief of joint operations with the Swedish Armed Forces, said in a statement, is “extensive military activity in the Baltic Sea, conducted by Russian as well as Western players, on a scale the

likes of which have not been seen since the Cold War.” Russia’s Defense Ministry described its exercise as a mock amphibious landing of marines, with the first step being their deployment on three large assault vessels. Those ships, the Korolyov, the Kaliningrad and the Minsk, set sail Tuesday from the Kaliningrad region, a Russian enclave on the Baltic wedged between Poland and Lithuania, accompanied by two minesweepers and a corvette, or small warship. The flotilla plans to sail up the coastlines of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, former Soviet republics that are NATO members, and near Sweden and Finland, which are neutral countries. The marines will then stage a mock amphibious assault on Russian territory near St. Petersburg, the military said. Pavel Felgenhauer, a military commentator for an independent Russian newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, said the exercise is part of Operation Ocean Shield, a longrunning effort to lift the Russian navy’s preparedness. He said it did not appear to be related to current Russian military exercises near the border with Belarus involving 6,000 troops and 1,500 armored vehicles. Another analyst said the Russian exercise was a response to increased NATO activity in Eastern Europe. Inevitably, the analyst, Ivan Konovalov, director of the Center for Studies of Strategic Trends in Moscow, said,

“our activity rises, too.” Tensions between Russia and the West ramped up sharply in 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea and intervened militarily in eastern Ukraine. The Kremlin staged major military exercises along its western borders, stirring long-dormant fears of Russian armored columns rolling across Europe. In response, NATO reinvigorated plans to counter an old foe, strengthening ties to allied armies, increasing the numbers of troops and spies devoted to Russia and embracing a revamped Pentagon strategy that focuses more on potential threats from Russia and China and less on terrorism. Over the past two years, the United States and its NATO allies have positioned about 4,500 soldiers in the three Baltic states and Poland, and have stationed several thousand other armored troops mostly in Eastern Europe. In Brussels, allied defense ministers last year approved a plan to ensure that by 2020, at least 30,000 troops, plus additional attack planes and warships, would be positioned to respond to Russian aggression within 30 days. The tensions are part of an expanding rivalry, and corresponding military buildup, between Washington and Moscow. Two Air Force B-1B bombers flying a long-range training mission over the Black Sea in late May prompted Russian fighter jets to scramble and intercept the U.S. warplanes. At least three times in the past two months, Russian fighter jets intercepted Navy P-8 surveillance planes over the Mediterranean. And last week, Russian fighter jets intercepted three U.S. RC-135 reconnaissance planes over the Baltic and Black seas, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The Russian jets eventually flew away without incident. NATO held its annual exercise in the Baltics in June, with Sweden and Finland participating, though they are not members of the alliance. Over 8,600 soldiers, 50 ships, a helicopter carrier and two submarines were involved. But it has not held exercises of that size since, a NATO spokesman said. Western analysts suggested that Russia could be reacting more to the recent protests in Belarus, warning outside powers against involving themselves in the uprising. The Kremlin has long accused the United States of promoting revolutions in former Soviet republics, particularly Georgia and Ukraine. “The Russians are showing that they’re willing to go there,” said Karlis Neretnieks, a retired, high-ranking officer and former president of the Swedish Defense University. “They are trying to scare off the West.” Neretnieks said that President Vladimir Putin’s government, already dealing with protests in Siberia, is worried that the possible fall of Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus might spark further demonstrations in Russia. “They now want to divert domestic attention and create an outside threat.”

China fires missiles into South China sea, sending U.S. a message By STEVEN LEE MYERS and KEITH BRADSHER

hina has fired a barrage of medium-range missiles across considerable distances into the South China Sea, Beijing’s latest move to demonstrate its strategic dominance and sovereignty over the disputed waters, an American defense official said. The missile launches on Wednesday punctuated a series of military exercises that China has conducted this month at a time of rising tensions with the United States over its territorial claims in the South China Sea and its attempts to pressure Taiwan, the self-governing island democracy that Beijing claims as its own. Senior Col. Wu Qian, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, did not mention the missiles on Thursday but confirmed that China had carried out long-planned drills over an area that stretched from Qingdao in northeastern China to disputed islands in the South China Sea known as the Spratlys. “The above exercises are not directed at any country,” Wu said at a regularly scheduled briefing in Beijing. China had signaled its plans to test the missiles by declaring a travel exclusion zone in a part of the South China Sea this week. American forces in the region detected the launch of four missiles from the mainland to that area, the American defense official said. The Pentagon is now assessing the types of missiles involved. Among the medium-range missiles in China’s growing arsenal are the DF-26 and the DF-21, which can attack moving targets at sea. “The growing frequency of exercises and the new types of capabilities displayed demonstrate the progress China has achieved in its military modernization drive over the past two decades,” said M. Taylor Fravel, an expert on the Chinese military who is the director of the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Tensions over the South China Sea and Taiwan have risen sharply in recent weeks as part of the broader deterioration of relations between China and the United States. The U.S. military has recently stepped up operations in the area, including the deployment of two aircraft carriers in July in the waters China claims. The State Department also declared last month that China’s expansive maritime claims across most of the South China Sea were illegal, siding more clearly than ever before with other nations in the region, including Malaysia, the Philip-

Competing territorial claims in the South China Sea involve several Asian nations as well as the United States. pines and Vietnam. The Trump administration further raised the stakes on Wednesday when the Commerce Department banned purchases from the United States by two dozen Chinese companies that played a role over the past decade in China’s construction of an archipelago of artificial islands on coral reefs. The tests also came a day after China accused the Americans of flying a U-2 spy plane over one of the exercises, calling it a “naked provocation.” The United States has been conducting its own biannual naval exercise off the coast of Hawaii this week, involving forces from 10 nations. Vice Admiral Scott D. Conn, the commander of the U.S. 3rd Fleet and leader of the exercise, said in a telephone conference call on Thursday that China had the right to carry out military drills “within international laws and norms.” Asked about the missile launches on Wednesday, he emphasized that the United States would not be deterred. “In terms of launching ballistic missiles, the U.S. Navy has 38 ships underway today in the Indo-Pacific region, including in the South China Sea,” he said. “And we continue to fly, sail and operate anywhere international laws allow us to demonstrate our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific and reassure our allies and partners.” Such exercises are nonetheless studied for insights into new military advances. Fravel noted that China had previously tested the DF-21, an anti-ship missile known as a carrier killer. If effective, it could put at risk operations like those conducted last month by the two U.S. carriers, the Ronald Reagan and the Nimitz. He said that it was not clear if the missiles were fired at fixed or moving targets, adding that the latter would be “a better test of the overall system, to include identifying, tracking, and destroying a moving ship at sea.”

Mali’s ousted president is released from detention by coup leaders By RUTH MACLEAN and CHEICK AMADOU DIOUARA

brahim Boubacar Keïta, Mali’s ousted president, was released from detention and driven to his home in the West African country’s capital early Thursday, nine days after a military coup brought an end to his seven years in power. A heavy security escort took Keïta to his house in Sebeninkoro, a residential neighborhood of Bamako, capping his abrupt fall after military officers with guns arrested him, took him to their base and forced him to resign on television. They held him in Kati, 10 miles outside Bamako, along with his prime minister, Boubou Cissé, and several other high-ranking government officials. Cissé, the minister of defense and the minister of security are still being held. Keïta’s departure came after several months of growing and persistent protests. The coup plotters — who refer to themselves as the National Committee for the People’s Salvation — have presented themselves as having carried out the will of the people. The coup was roundly condemned by the African Union, the United Nations, the United States and France — which has around 5,000 troops in the region. But only Ecowas, the regional organization of West African states, initially tried to insist that Keïta be reinstated, holding a video conference call attended by all the region’s

presidents. The coup leaders have met with opposition figures and protest leaders, promising to hold democratic elections and find an interim president. In negotiations with Ecowas, the leaders of the junta initially asked for a three-year transition led by a military officer. Ecowas mediators said Wednesday that they would accept a transitional government with a civilian or retired army officer in charge for a maximum of one year, according to a statement from the Nigerian presidency. A popular imam regarded as the protest movement’s figurehead, Mahmoud Dicko, said after the coup that he considered his fight to be over, according to a message posted on his organization’s President Hassan Rouhani of Iran, right, meeting with Rafael Facebook page.

Don’t be dense, beware Mike Pence By GAIL COLLINS

t’s possible you failed to notice, but the Republican convention has a theme for each night. The list sounds a little like a Lord of the Rings theme park: Land of Promise, Land of Opportunity, Land of Heroes and Land of Greatness. You know Donald Trump’s big day is going to be Land of Greatness, right? Well, obviously. But do you think even the president felt a little wave of irony when he gave Mike Pence responsibility for Land of Heroes? Lots of ways you could celebrate Pence’s renomination. Male fans might consider announcing that they’ll be following his lead and will go to events where alcohol is served only when they’re accompanied by their wives. The presidential campaign themes are “Keep America Great” and “Promises Made, Promises Kept.” A “Little Woman, Big Chaperone” T-shirt for the vice president’s female followers might be next. The vice presidency has had its ups and downs. We started out very well indeed with John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Then, whoops, Aaron Burr. You may remember him as the guy who shot Alexander Hamilton. The only thing we can say about comparing Burr and Pence is that our current vice president is

Vice President Mike Pence speaks during a coronavirus task force briefing in Rockville, Md., June 30, 2020. very unlikely to ever be featured as a lead character in a Broadway musical. One of my favorite veeps is Richard Johnson, a 19th-century adventurer who was Martin Van Buren’s No. 2. Johnson was apparently picked solely because Van Buren was running against William Henry Harrison, who was famous for defeating feared chief Tecumseh at the battle of Tippecanoe. When Harrison’s fans yelled, “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too!” the Democrats were supposed to retort, “Rumpsey Dumpsey, Rumpsey Dumpsey. Col. Johnson killed Tecumsey.” Neither of those slogans was really true, but everyone apparently loved yelling them. They were, you must admit, more fun to shout than “Promises Made, Promises Kept.” People have generally paid attention to the vice presidential nomination only when they’re waiting to see who’ll get it. But now that Kamala Harris is such a sensation, maybe the office will have more glamour. I’ve been into veep watching for a long time — when I can’t sleep, I try counting them all, like sheep. If it’s real insomnia, I try to add one little factoid, like: William King, the only bachelor vice president, was very best friends with James Buchanan, the only bachelor president. Yeah, people talked. But not for long, since King died 25 days into his term. Pence is very, very conservative on social issues — or at least as conservative as it’s possible to be when your running mate is a well-known former womanizer who conducted his adulterous affair with one future wife on the front pages of the New York tabloids. In his current job Pence is pretty much tied up with the White House crises of the day, but it’s important to remember he’s very possibly a Republican pre-

sidential nominee for 2024 — if we have an election in 2024. One of the reasons he’s worth watching is trying to imagine what he’d do if the boss decided to ignore the election results this November. Back in days of yore, nobody cared much about the vice presidency. John Nance Garner said it was “not worth a bucket of warm spit.” Garner, who served for eight years under Franklin Roosevelt, apparently figured that FDR would retire after two terms and hand over the nomination to his second-in-command. Imagine his surprise when FDR went for No. 3. Now there’s a history lesson Pence should keep in mind. Thomas Marshall, who was Woodrow Wilson’s veep, used to tell the story of two brothers: “One ran away to sea; the other was elected vice president. And nothing was ever heard of either of them again.” You could appreciate his attitude since he was frozen out of everything in the Wilson administration, even after the president himself was paralyzed from a stroke. But these are stories from the old days, when a vice president counted himself reasonably lucky if he was given a project — an agency or an issue — that gave him an excuse for coming into work in the morning. The job turned into something very different in modern times. Joel Goldstein, a professor at Saint Louis University who has written a book about the vice presidency, notes that Richard Nixon almost never performed the traditional job of presiding over the Senate, preferring to travel and do political work for his boss, Dwight Eisenhower. Which was sort of ironic given that, when Nixon was running to succeed him, Eisenhower was asked about any major ideas his vice president had contributed to the administration. Eisenhower replied, “If you give me a week, I might think of one.” The real change began with Walter Mondale, Jimmy Carter’s second-in-command. “Mondale became an across-the-board troubleshooter,” Goldstein said in a phone interview. Having a relatively powerful, activist vice president worked very well when the guy in question was Mondale. But pitfalls abounded. You may remember that Republican Dan Quayle made headlines when he corrected a schoolchild for spelling “potato” without an E at the end. “There you go,” he advised the kid after adding the extra vowel. There was some applause from the adults in the room, which just goes to show you that politicians should not always trust the instincts of the base. Quayle was, by the way, from Indiana. As was Marshall and, yes, our man Mike Pence.

Gobernadora asegura fondos del CARES Act se utilizarán Por THE STAR

a gobernadora Wanda Vázquez Garced dijo el jueves que los fondos disponibles del CARES Act se utilizarán y se cumplirá el plazo hasta el 31 de diciembre. “Nosotros tenemos un 44 por ciento del dinero desembolsado. Por ejemplo, a los cuentapropistas, que son los empleados que trabajan por cuenta propia, se ha desembolsado casi el 100 por ciento. Al Desempleo se ha dado casi el 100 por ciento. ¿Dónde está el dinero que falta del CARES Act? Pues, el programa de protección a nómina que son $350 millones, eso se había dicho en un principio que comenzaría en septiembre”, explicó Vázquez Garced en entrevista radial. (Noti Uno 630) Añadió que “comparado con los estados, Puerto Rico está número diez”.

“Hay que hacerlo de manera responsable para evitar el fraude”, señaló. En cuanto a planteamientos de que si no se utiliza ese dinero, que está descrito hasta el 31 de diciembre, la gobernadora dijo que “los fondos se utilizarán”. Alrededor de $1,400 millones de los fondos CAREAS Act, no se han utilizado. Por su parte, la comisionada residente en Washington, Jenniffer González Colón insistió que el atraso en el desembolso de los alrededor de $7,900 millones en fondos federales- a excepción del Departamento de Educación- no tiene que ver con burocracia federal. “Yo no he recibido de parte del gobierno de Puerto Rico ninguna preocupación, ninguna queja, ninguna petición de auxilio. Yo creo que la burocracia esta vez está en el lado estatal”, sostuvo González Colón en conferencia de prensa.

Anuncian el reinicio del programa “Pon pa’l cafetal” Por THE STAR a gobernadora Wanda Vázquez Garced y el secreLFlores tario del Departamento de Agricultura (DA), Carlos Ortega, anunciaron el jueves, que el proyecto

piloto “Pon pa’l Cafetal” regresa con el objetivo de apoyar la industria cafetalera y brindar la oportunidad de generar ingresos a los ciudadanos que interesen emplearse en el recogido de café. “‘Pon pa’l cafetal’ consiste en ofrecer transportación gratuita a los obreros o personas interesadas en participar del recogido de café durante el período de cosecha en las fincas participantes. Queremos promover la industria cafetalera que, como otros sectores de la agricultura, se ha visto afectada por distintos fenómenos atmosféricos. Más programas como éstos nos ayudarán a que la industria siga adelante, con más fuerza”, indicó la primera ejecutiva en comunicación escrita. La iniciativa, que resultó ser un éxito en 2019, operará durante los meses de septiembre, octubre y noviembre y será libre de costo con viajes que saldrán de las plazas públicas de los municipios de Las Marías, Lares, Maricao y Adjuntas. El servicio de transporte se ofrecerá durante la mañana y tarde de lunes a viernes, excepto días feriados. Por su parte, el secretario de Agricultura destacó: “Todos queremos tomar café 100 por ciento puertorriqueño, pero necesitamos manos para recogerlos. El Departamento cuenta con numerosos programas para incentivos en la industria cafetalera y éstos son prioritarios para nosotros dado que, tras el paso del huracán María, el consumo de café en la isla depende del café importado. Hemos estado sembrando nuevos árboles de café y ayudando a nuestros agricultores que muchas veces, además del grano, necesitan mano de obra para recogerlo”. “Sabemos que hay gente en esta región, y otras,

que están en busca de ingresos, pero a veces tienen otras situaciones, como falta de transporte, que le impiden trabajar. Con este programa estamos resolviendo esa situación en particular, además de la preocupación de quedarse sin beneficios alimentarios como consecuencia de los ingresos por su trabajo”, añadió Flores Ortega. La industria de café se mantiene entre las primeras diez empresas agrícolas en orden de importancia económica en Puerto Rico, ocupando el sexto lugar. El cultivo de café representa en su aportación a la economía el primer negocio y modo de vida de gran parte de la población de la zona central de la Isla. Mientras, el director de la Administración para el Desarrollo de Empresas Agropecuarias (ADEA), Robert Bradley, resaltó que: “‘Pon pa’l cafetal’ tendrá una inversión de $65,000 mil y que además los que decidan emplearse podrán ser elegibles para beneficiarse del pago del bono de navidad y el bono por recogido de café maduro. A su vez, al recogedor de café se le otorgará un incentivo de $1.50 por almud de café maduro, recogido además del pago que recibe del agricultor por almud cosechado”. Estos ingresos no afectarán el beneficio del Programa de Asistencia Nutricional (PAN), debido a que el reglamento del Departamento de la Familia considera exentos los ingresos provenientes del recogido del café, plátanos y guineos, entre otros, durante temporadas de cosechas. “En la agricultura es importante la tierra, pero igual importancia tienen las manos que la trabajan. El sector del café ha enfrentado muchísimos retos y es necesario continuar incentivando tanto a los agroempresarios como los trabajadores agrícolas siendo una de las grandes misiones del DA”, agregó Bradley. El desarrollo de la empresa de café está atado a la cosecha del fruto, tarea que se realiza manualmen-

te por obreros agrícolas. Esta se ha visto afectada en los pasados años ya que el número de recogedores de café ha disminuido significativamente. De hecho, de 7,411 obreros que había para el año 2012 contamos con solo 1,937 contabilizados para el año fiscal 2017-2018. Las personas interesadas sólo deben llevar su canasta de recolección de café y sus meriendas, respetando todos los protocolos de salud ante la pandemia COVID-19. Para mayor información sobre los requisitos de participación, los interesados pueden llamar al 787897-1735, 787-897-1620, 787-897-2752, 787-7212120 o escribir un correo electrónico a info@agricultura.pr.gov

How ‘MTV Cribs’ rewired my brain, and maybe yours too By TALMON JOSEPH SMITH

hat would you do if you got really rich? Perhaps you’ve had a series of whimsical, wishful, naive conversations centered around this question. I grew up having a bunch of them: at pool parties and sleepovers, at recess and in the back seats of Chevy Suburbans on the way home. Then, lazily but dreamily, in study halls with high school friends. And after that, a bit nervously, with other underclassmen at the start of college, when the arc of life’s prospects begin to get more real. There was a time among my cohort of ’90s babies when little of our energy was spent imagining vast riches. But then — at least in my middle-class corner of the American South — everybody started watching “MTV Cribs.” “Cribs,” a documentary-style reality television program in which tours of celebrities’ homes are given by the stars themselves, premiered in September 2000, when neither Instagram, the Room Rater account on Twitter nor iPhones existed, when the music business was flush and ’NSync had recently sold 2.4 million CDs in a single week. It must be said: The show was incredibly comfy to watch, and the vast majority of architecture and design on display was, by contemporary standards, incredibly bad. The clashing themes, the bedrooms with multicolored carpeted floors and Roman columns in random places. The oddly placed game rooms and monogrammed foyers, each one seemingly larger than the last. The garish dining areas decked out with fish tanks or ornaments like a fainting bed near the kitchen island — an actual scene from a famous Mariah Carey episode. Seen with the binoculars of 2020 many of the cribs on “Cribs” may appear tacky, even emetic, to the sleek, refined minimalists — such as Marie Kondo, Kyle Chayka and Joshua Becker — who’ve proliferated in recent years. But so what? For viewers and the stars featured on the show, wealth, especially when it’s newfound, is not about calculating then acquiring a set of signifiers — subtle or diligently visible — that aligns you with old money or the palates of the young college grads gentrifying your city. Wealth is instead a means of getting to have all the things and all the fun you have ever wanted but couldn’t yet attain. In Mariah Carey’s tour of her reported

The show “MTV Cribs” gave us a giddy peek at the nouveau riche celebrities of the 2000s and made “fake it until you make it” the Millennial ethos. 11,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, 5 1/2bath, multi-walk-in-closeted tri-level penthouse in Tribeca in 2002, she opens the door to us, dressed to a tee, her hair music video flawless, and informs us coolly, “It’s an art deco apartment.” And that she loves the glazed orange walls simply because “they look like candy.” She shows off a copy of “Architectural Digest” that features her apartment: “I didn’t grow up in a house that belonged in ‘Architectural Digest,’ trust me,” she says. Then, peeling back the diaphanous curtains of the nearest window, she reveals a lush northward outlook of the city at night, the Empire State Building gleaming. “When I was little I always wanted a penthouse apartment in New York with a view like this. Took me quite a while because all the co-op boards kept telling me no,” she said, sarcastically dragging out the “no” with an affected posh tone. “Now it doesn’t matter because I got my own, hm-hm!” On Cribs there is, blessedly, little talk of vintage armoires passed down or bought at auction. No chin-stroking about whether a property is actually a bit more Edwardian than Victorian. Watching as kids, there was an unvarnished symmetry to what we would put in our big homes if we got rich and what these celebrities, who actually got rich, put in theirs. Watching now, in the midst of this decade’s

suffocatingly granular obsession over cultivated looks — and its public policing of taste — the early to mid-2000s world of “Cribs” is an aspirational, if sometimes funny, breath of fresh air. Just beyond the giddiness of getting a peek at the nouveau riche, though, was an insidious implanting of rudderless, capitalist instincts deep into our still-forming brains. I’d like to think that I watched “Cribs” with my siblings and friends solely as comfort food to be consumed, digested, then mentally excreted. In hindsight, however, it probably affected the neural circuits in our brains that regulate motivation. When not awe-inspiring, the show was still inspiring in a simpler sense: If you didn’t want a crib like that (and there were plenty of eccentricities to not like), you definitely wanted the money to be able to own a crib like that. Correlation doesn’t equal causation. But having never harvested thoughts about extraordinary wealth, after years of watching “Cribs,” “I’m gonna be rich when I grow up” became — along with the rote mission of doing good — a central life goal of mine for a while. In that, I’m sure I’m not alone. Even once I entered adulthood and had to get a normal job, having failed at becoming a pro athlete, the show’s lavishness still probably inflected my decision-making. Like when, at 22, I rejected more stable employment in order to work at a glossy magazine,

making little money but rubbing up against fame, wealth, art, excess and open bars as a matter of course. Naturally, “Cribs” wasn’t alone in manufacturing what’s now called clout chasing. The decade it belonged to was flush with wealth worship, class striving and conspicuous consumption. MTV’s “Pimp My Ride”; VH1’s “The Fabulous Life of … ”; ABC’s “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”; and NBC’s “The Apprentice,” hosted by Donald Trump, are all indelible. But soon enough, the people watching experienced the lies a corporate-sold American dream can spin when the housing bubble — built on fraud, debt, earnest ambition and “Cribs”-like McMansion dreams — burst. The jig seemed to be up for “Cribs” as well when the market crashed in 2008. The show went into syndication that fall (though it has had smaller reboots since). In time, we discovered the details of the show’s deceit. There are now listicles scouring the rampant rags-to-riches humbug that was under our noses all those years, like “12 Celebrities Who Totally Lied About Their Homes On MTV’s ‘Cribs’” and a definitive list from BuzzFeed, “‘MTV Cribs’ Was Pretty Much Fake And Here Are The Receipts To Prove It.” I rewatched “Cribs” this summer, halfquarantined in my Brooklyn apartment, mostly as an escape. The hope was to distract myself from the coronavirus deaths and economic woes that I cover on a daily basis by revisiting the come-ups of celebrities who feel on top of the world. My favorite episode features Aaron Carter, the child pop star and younger brother of Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys. Wearing cargo shorts and a white graphic T-shirt adorned with Tupac’s face, he jauntily welcomes us to his family’s gargantuan 17-acre compound in the Florida Keys. Recently, I made the mistake of Googling Aaron Carter, now 32, to see what he’s up to these days. I found that, like many child stars, he’s been in and out of rehab — struggling with addiction and money problems. In September, his brother Nick Carter filed a restraining order against him. I almost went down the sadly substantial online rabbit hole about Aaron Carter’s struggles but stopped myself and flicked back to the “Cribs” clip of him, when there was still a boyish tilt to the cap hanging off his head and so many less serious thoughts in mine. It’s better this way.

Live comedy is back in New York! But outdoors. Is this a good thing? By JASON ZINOMAN

n a beautiful Thursday evening in Prospect Park, Ariel Elias, a sly young comic from Kentucky, walked down a hill, looked at a few dozen socially distanced audience members sitting near a family flying a kite, and said: “Thank you for being here — and shame on you.” This joke perfectly captured the odd mix of excitement, anxiety and guilt I felt sitting in a socially distanced crowd, some unmasked, cackling through illegally produced stand-up comedy under a vast blue sky. “It’s all backward,” Elias concluded, adding that even handling bar fights has changed. “Now they say: ‘Hey buddy, take it inside.’ ” Performing live comedy in New York right now is like selling beer during Prohibition: It’s outlawed and everyone’s doing it. A state official told me this week that comedy shows remain impermissible, and yet that hasn’t stopped outdoor performances in gardens, parks and on rooftops, often produced with little to no advertising. No club has been more ambitious during the pandemic than Stand Up NY, an Upper West Side institution that has given stage time to more comics per week than any comedy club in the city (and probably the country). Stand Up NY has done it by commandeering space in parks (including the two I saw last week in Prospect Park) every night in three boroughs, mounting 40 shows last week. The club is already plotting expansion into new parks, including one in New Jersey, with a goal of 60 showcases a week, featuring a host and five comics, until it gets too cold in the fall. These shows drew around 1,000 audience members last week, the club said, and have even inspired comics who left the city in March because of the shutdown to return. After spending five months with his family in Michi-

gan, comic Jeffrey Arcuri said that the park shows brought him back to the city — he has performed every night for the past week — and that he had found grateful audiences. “People who come to these shows really want to be there,” he said by phone. “You can see it on their faces.” Until the pandemic, Stand Up NY had not exactly distinguished itself in the city’s competitive comedy scene, drawing tourist-heavy crowds to its cramped room through the use of street teams handing out discounted tickets. “I’ve owned the club for 12 years and I wasn’t so proud of it,” Dani Zoldan, who runs the dayto-day operations on behalf of his partners, told me. But in the vanishing of live entertainment, he saw an opening. “This was an opportunity to not only bring back laughter to New York, but for us to make our reputation, so I wanted to go big,” he said in a Skype interview. “I don’t The audience at a Stand Up NY show in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Aug. 22, want to do one show a night in front of my club. 2020. The club Stand Up NY is staging 40 shows a week across the city. That’s boring to me.

he grim line of numbers is frozen forever, a monument to the depths of professional despair for Lucas Giolito of the Chicago White Sox. In 2018, he had a 6.13 ERA with 90 walks. It is very hard to be that bad and stay in the majors. Only three other pitchers have exceeded those figures in a season since 1936, and all of them had an excuse — they pitched for the Colorado Rockies, with home games in the thin air of Denver in the years before steroid testing. Giolito? He was just a mess, and he never tried to deny it. “I led the major leagues in pretty much every pitching category you don’t want to lead the major leagues in — and it’s like: Why shy away from that?” Giolito said earlier this year, by his locker at spring training in Glendale, Ariz. “You’ve got to own it and use it as fuel and motivation to get better.” Lucas Giolito’s line: no runs, no hits, no fans there to see it. Giolito, 26, used his struggles as motivation to change, overhauling his mechanics before last season and re- zález to lead off the fourth inning, but the White Sox organization after five solving to throw more change-ups and his 13 strikeouts were the most ever in years with the Washington Nationals, lively four-seam fastballs.

Giolito failed his audition in Washington in 2016, with a 6.75 ERA in six appearances, and then was traded to Chicago as part of a package for right fielder Adam Eaton. The White Sox were tearing down after an 84-loss season then, and things would get worse: 95 losses in 2017, then 100 in 2018 and 89 last year. Lately, though, the White Sox have been among the majors’ hottest teams, winning nine of 10 through Wednesday. They lead the American League in homers and seem likely to grab one of the league’s eight playoff berths, which would put them in the postseason for the first time since 2008. The team’s official slogan, suggested by dynamic shortstop Tim Anderson, is “Change The Game.” Giolito embodies the mantra. “I know that I can continue to get better,” he said after the no-hitter. “There are a lot of things I can improve. That’s all I care about.” On Tuesday night, it was hard to imagine anyone pitching better.

The Islanders’ goalie entered with a shutout streak. He left on the bench. By CURTIS RUSH

uddenly, the New York Islanders’ focus has shifted, from the confidence in a franchise record-setting goaltender, to having concerns about how Semyon Varlamov will bounce back from his worst performance of the NHL postseason on Wednesday. Varlamov entered Game 2 on Wednesday coming off back-to-back shutouts, and achieved a record shutout streak in Islanders playoff history in the first period. But the Philadelphia Flyers chased him from his net and withstood a frenetic comeback before pulling out a 4-3 victory in overtime. Varlamov had a .941 save percentage going into the game, but registered a shaky performance after giving up three goals on 10 shots. That left the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal tied 1-1 with the swing Game 3 on Thursday at Scotiabank Arena. Varlamov was not sharp, as if his mind was on breaking Billy Smith’s franchise playoff shutout streak instead of on winning the game. It took only 40 seconds for Varlamov to break the mark, but his record roll didn’t last long and neither did Varlamov. He was pulled in favor of backup Thomas Greiss late in the first period after the Flyers had scored three goals. In Greiss’ first action of this postseason, he stopped 20 shots. “He looked very comfortable, which is a great sign,” said Barry Trotz, the Islanders coach. “As we say, you have to be ready in the playoffs,” Trotz continued. “He was definitely ready.” Instead of falling on their faces with the backup in goal, the Islanders stayed patient and went on the attack, giving Carter Hart, the Flyers’ goalie, his own troubles at the other end. Anders Lee scored in the second period while Anthony Beauvillier and Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored soft goals in the third to force overtime. Pageau’s goal tied the game with 2:09 left in regulation on a play that was challenged by Philadelphia as offside. The Flyers were penalized for delay of game for the unsuccessful challenge, giving the Islanders a power play that al-

Kevin Hayes scored twice on Varlamov. most resulted in a go-ahead goal. Instead, the Flyers won the game when Philippe Myers’ shot from the point deflected off Lee’s stick past Greiss at 2:41 of overtime. “I liked the fact that we were resilient,” Trotz said of the comeback effort, adding that he lifted Varlamov early to give the team a “spark.” He said the goals that Varlamov allowed weren’t all his fault, but a result of missing some details in the Islanders’ defensive zone and giving up odd-man rushes. “We didn’t help him enough,” Trotz said. Varlamov’s uncharacteristic performance was one of the story lines with a quick turnaround before Game 3. But Hart’s confidence could also be in question after the Islanders stormed back on a couple of soft goals in the third period. “We understood that there was plenty of game left and a lot of things can happen,” Lee said after the game. Varlamov’s record streak is now an

afterthought after what transpired early in Game 2. His shutout sequence ended at 1:38.17, only 1:18 longer than the previous mark set by Smith during the playoffs in 1980, when the franchise won the first of its four consecutive titles. After the Islanders had controlled the early part of the game, Kevin Hayes snapped a high wrist shot by Varlamov with Philadelphia’s first shot on goal. Hayes scored again later that period, with Sean Couturier adding a third goal with less than five minutes left in the period on the Flyers’ 10th shot. That’s when Varlamov was pulled for Greiss. The big question for the Flyers heading into the game was when their big line of Couturier, Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek would start to click. Giroux is still looking for his first goal of the playoffs, but he contributed with an assist on Couturier’s first postseason goal. The second line centered by Hayes dominated for the Flyers. Varlamov was clearly off his game, although he gave no indication before

the game that the record was weighing on his mind. Before Game 2, the last goal he had allowed came off the stick of the Washington Capitals’ Alex Ovechkin 3:40 into the third period of Game 4 of the first round. That was more than a week ago. “At this point, it’s not about the shutouts,” Varlamov said before Game 2. “The most important thing for me is to get the win and get ready for the next game. But, of course, I’m excited about it.” Now, after Greiss gave a solid performance in relief, the question remains whether Varlamov’s confidence will be shaken for Game 3 with hardly any time to recover emotionally from the loss. Trotz did not tip his hand on which goalie would start on Thursday. Varlamov, who joined the Islanders as a free agent last July by signing a four-year, $20 million contract, does not have a lot of playoff experience. This has been his first appearance in the postseason since 2014 when, playing in Colorado, the Avalanche lost a seven-game series to the Minnesota Wild in the first round. The series with the Flyers has been billed in part as a battle between Varlamov, the veteran at 32 and his counterpart, the Flyers’ 22-year-old sensation Hart, who registered two consecutive shutouts in Games 3 and 4 against the Montreal Canadiens in the first round. But as good as Hart has been this postseason, he seemed to fight the puck in the last part of the game in making 31 saves, and Beauvillier’s third-period goal, which slipped under Hart’s arm, gave the Islanders life. Trotz wants his players to feel comfortable with the uncomfortable. Now that the record shutout streak is over, Varlamov has to go from feeling uncomfortable to comfortable quickly. Game 3 is the all-important “swing game,” Trotz said, and the Islanders’ emotions could also swing between being inspired by their comeback and deflated that it fell short. “Obviously, you want to complete the comeback,” Trotz said. “That’s the disappointing part. The positive is it reinforces a lot of the things that you were able to do to get back in the game.”

A serious discussion can’t be avoided. What might surprise you is how many people agree with you. Where you had expected objections, there will be encouragement. Sharing your thoughts for the future will be fruitful as arrangements will be agreed on there and then. You might wish you had brought up some ideas sooner.

Libra

(Sep 24-Oct 23)

Tidying your surroundings and catching up on outstanding chores can be therapeutic. Have a look around the home and check for appliances in need of repair or replacement. If you find some money you’d put aside some time ago and forgotten about be sure to spend it wisely. End the day doing something you love.

A tip given to you by a neighbour will be useful when you need to talk to someone later about a recent event. You won’t pass on gossip but you will do your best to gather reliable information. Refuse to let anyone pressure you into lending them money. It’s unlikely they will pay you back.

Someone close is about to admit to having made a big mistake. They’re expecting you to be mad at them. You’re just grateful for their honesty and happy to forgive and forget. It will be tempting to overspend on fun activities. If you receive some extra money, pay any outstanding bills before making a luxury purchase.

A friend or neighbour will hesitate to ask for a favour. You’ve always been intuitive and when you sense they need something, ask if you can help. Being able to help someone who isn’t feeling well will make you feel good. You will notice an instant difference in your own outlook when you realise how grateful they are for your assistance.

Leo

(July 24-Aug 23)

If you need backing for a worthwhile venture, organise a fundraiser. Ask friends for help. Be sure to invite anyone who is likely to join you in championing the needs of vulnerable members of your community. Everything hinges on you taking the initiative. Don’t wait for inspiration to strike. You will come up with great ideas as you go along.

Virgo

(Aug 24-Sep 23)

Your boss will give you a choice and they expect you to take time to consider it before giving an answer. Ultimately whatever you decide to do, the decision should be your own. If you aren’t sure whether you can fulfil a tough assignment consider your impressive track record. You have valuable skills; don’t undersell yourself.

Strive for balance in your life. If you’re pouring all your energy into your job, change this. Say no’ to taking on more responsibilities. Build a barrier between your work and family life. You don’t have to take on more than you can handle. Remember: you can choose what you do and don’t do.

Family relationships are undergoing some changes. An older relative is asking a lot of you. Attending to their needs isn’t a problem at present but you know there will come a time when you will have to ask for help. An online group event and spending time with cheerful people will bring enjoyment.

You and a partner or close friend can’t seem to get on the same wavelength. Every conversation seems to end up in a row. You don’t have a clue where the next path will lead but keep telling yourself that your relationship can survive in the long-term if this is what you both want.

Aquarius

(Jan 21-Feb 19)

Whether you are seeking funds for a personal project or a charity event, you will inspire a lot of trust in others. You sense you are being watched and your performance is being monitored. You are a great connecting force and people admire your effortless style. Volunteer work will open your heart in a meaningful way.

Pisces

(Feb 20-Mar 20)

Plans are being made for future travel. You are ready to enjoy a change of scenery and will be eager to get involved. Closer to home, follow your instincts. A friend is looking to borrow some money but if they still haven’t paid back a previous loan, don’t be too quick to offer yours.
