“It is important to emphasize that this will be a benefit subject to strict compliance with the requirements established by the agency, such as meeting attendance and productivity evaluations, among other elements to be considered,” the Education chief said. “Periodically, we will evaluate the effectiveness of the initiative in case it is necessary to make changes to the requirements. Since this is a time-based incentive, it is not a recognition of an acquired right of the employees who will benefit from it, but rather an incentive to continue performing their work with efficiency and excellence.”Thequarterly incentive will be disbursed to all teaching and non-teaching employees of the Department of Education who work full-time at the agency. Full-time employees are considered to operate under regular, probationary, temporary, part-time (five hours or more), and irregular (five hours or more) work schedules.

The petitioners said they are concerned that Act 41 imposes new costs, requirements, operational burdens and monetary exposures upon island employers.

Regarding expenditures, the oversight board said non-labor and other operating expenses for GenCo, as PREPA’s generation operation is called, show a $2 million overspend for the fourth quarter.

The Financial Oversight and Management Board has identified inconsistencies in the certified budget for the bankrupt Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) that could potentially result in a deficit by the end of fiscal year (FY) 2022.

The marginal benefits expense, which is meant to exclude healthcare, pension and Christmas bonus as established in the FY 2022 Certified Budget, reflects an overspend of $14 million, while there are no funds obligated or disbursed for budgeted amounts allocated for pension benefits and healthcare expense.

The inconsistencies were found during a preliminary review of PREPA’s latest Budget-to-Actuals report, submitted on Aug. 22, the oversight board said in a letter published late last week. PREPA has been in bankruptcy since 2017 to restructure some $9 billion in debt, and later this month it is supposed to present its debt adjustment plan.

Such an analysis will provide unique information or perspective that can help the court beyond the Oversight Board’s discussion.”

The oversight board also found that expenditures, including salaries, show an $8 million underspend for the latest quarter.

“The reported Total Operating and Maintenance Expenses reﬂect an overspend of $0.95 billion yearto-date (YTD) for Q4- FY2022,” the oversight board said. “However, such overspend was driven by Total Fuel and Purchased Power and is assumed to be reconciled through the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau’s quarterly reconciliation process for fuel and purchased powerDisregardingriders.”

The new law discourages hiring new employees; increases total labor costs by granting vacation and sick leave beneﬁts to part-time employees, who, before Act 41, were not entitled to such compensation while being absent from work; potentially increases unscheduled absenteeism of part-time employees who under the Act 41 will now have available sick leave day accruals from the ﬁrst month of employment; and increases labor costs by eliminating phase-in periods, they argued.

Colmena66 tracks progress of entrepreneurship as an economic development strategy

Through information captured in each counseling session and an annual survey of the 3,072 entrepreneurs served during 2021 and the more than 250 organizations and business support programs, Colmena66 answers questions such as: who are the entrepreneurs in Puerto Rico? What type of businesses do we have in Puerto Rico? What impact do these businesses have in Puerto Rico? And what do we have to work on as an ecosystem?

a program of the Puerto Rico Science, Technology and Research Trust, recently presented the results of the report “The State of the Business Community in Puerto Rico,” which uses quantitative and qualitative data to inform what entrepreneurs undertake as they continue to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and face new challenges such as inﬂation.

Educational activities designed by them allow young people to explore careers related to STEM ﬁelds. Statistics show that in the future, most of the participating students will pursue university studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.”

Among the most notable findings, fewer applications were received from people seeking entrepreneurial assistance for new businesses in 2021 relative to 2020, when overwhelming job losses motivated an unprecedented number of people to develop their business idea. However, relative to 2020, in 2021, the number of referrals to resources from the Colmena66 Business Support Network increased by 10%, and 19% of the established companies returned to Colmena66 to receive additional support, thus reﬂecting progress in the development of those new businesses that were born in the pandemic.

Four in five respondents used their savings to finance their businesses. In contrast, non-recurring financing options such as the SBA’s “Payroll Protection Program” and personal stimulus checks were used by 17% of respondents. Meanwhile, only 6% of those surveyed financed their business with loans from traditional banks.

For the study, Colmena66 assembled various sectors of the business community in order to investigate gaps in the ecosystem so that they in turn have tools to design business support programs, write and justify proposals for competitive funds, and create public policy to promote entrepreneurship effectively, design workforce development curricula, and deploy its limited resources equitably and with agility to the sectors that need it most.

The study concluded with the importance of accessibility of resources to support communities underrepresented in entrepreneurship such as the Afro-Caribbean community, the population with functional diversity, the LGBTTIQ+ community, veterans and women.Among the recommendations outlined were that equitable and inclusive economic development strategies focused on entrepreneurship be promoted collectively. Those are: profoundly understanding the business ecosystem to deﬁne standard metrics, monitoring efforts, and disseminating data that facilitate decision making; reducing barriers to entrepreneurship, which includes increasing access to capital and business education; streamlining the permitting process and regulatory and tax compliance; and promoting strong company culture.For more information about the business support network, contact Colmena66 on all social networks, call (787) 525-4111, or write to: info@colmena66.com.

“I am scared that the weather is going to take us down eventually,” Tassone said. “Whether it is super hot, or whether it is super cold, raining or whatever, but if you notice every in cident that’s going on anywhere in the United States is because it’s weather-caused. That’s scary.”

On Friday night, the fire continued to grow, and by Saturday it had burned almost 34,000 acres, but officials said the fire’s recent spread had been slower than it had been in previous days.

Coastal flood advisories were in place Saturday in some low-lying beach and island communities, while a flash flood watch was in effect in the southeast corner of the state, the weather service said.

The Fairview fire was 5% contained by Friday morning. By Friday night, it was 40% contained, according to officials, and some evacuation orders had been eased to warnings.

more than a week, Californians endured a heat wave that smashed records, pushed the state’s energy grid to the brink and parched the landscape, creating conditions ripe for catastrophic wildfires. Several new blazes ignited and quickly burned through bone-dry vegetation, sending thousands fleeing from their homes.

“Thankfully, this historic heat wave is coming to an end,” said Cory Mueller, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sacramento, where temperatures reached a record 116 degrees Tuesday. “It’ll almost feel cold out there today compared to last week.”

There were no reports of mudslides in the region.

The rain did not reach the Sierra Nevada foothills northeast of Sacramento, where the explosive Mosquito fire continued to rage uncontrolled, but authorities said that the cooler tem peratures and humidity Friday and through the weekend were creating a crucial window for getting a handle on the blaze.

Across the region, residents saw gray skies and stepped into warm, damp weather that felt more like the weather in a rain forest than the baking sunshine they had grown accustomed to.

Late Saturday afternoon, state fire officials said that a pri vately owned helicopter that they had contracted to help with firefighting efforts crashed as it was landing at a nearby airport. The three people on board, a pilot and two firefighters, sustained

Although there were some toppled boats and muddy parking lots in beach towns where high tides sometimes inun date streets, significant flooding wasn’t reported in Southern California.Forfirefighters and residents facing the state’s most dan gerous active blazes, the weather Saturday prompted sighs of relief — even if climate change ensures that any respite from dangerous fire conditions in California is temporary.

“There was fairly heavy rain overnight — probably the brunt of what Tropical Storm Kay was going to bring — over the area,” said Rob Roseen, a spokesperson for Cal Fire, the state’s firefighting agency.

Maryann Tassone spent two nights at an evacuation shelter in Hemet, not far from the blaze. On Saturday, she was arranging transportation home for her bedridden mother after the evacua tion order for her parents’ mobile home park had been lifted.

Earlier in the week, experts had been alarmed by a pyrocu mulus cloud that formed because the Mosquito fire was sending plumes of smoke and ash spewing 40,000 feet into the air.

In Cameron Park, a community southwest of the Mos quito fire where many of the roughly 6,000 people ordered to evacuate had gathered at a community center, some said they were hopeful.“Thursday, it felt like it was extremely scary, because the fire was spreading really quickly,” said Olivia Moreno, 33, who fled Garden Valley with her family. Now, “I’m feeling a little bit better,” she said.

moderate injuries and were taken to a hospital. Roseen said he did not have information about what may have caused the crash.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, the nation’s biggest public utility, warned customers about power outages caused by falling branches or palm fronds knocked off trees by the first significant rainfall in months. On Saturday, the agency said crews were working as quickly as they could to restore power to tens of thousands of customers.

In Riverside County, east of Los Angeles, officials had expressed concerns that the rare brush with a tropical storm would make it much more difficult to fight the Fairview fire, which killed two people and injured one more as they tried to flee the fast-moving blaze not long after it started Monday. Officials were worried that the storm would bring winds that would fan flames and that heavy rain could trigger flash flooding and mudslides on fire-scarred hillsides.

Although Tropical Storm Kay did not end up exacerbating the fire that had sent her family fleeing, Tassone, 58, said she was not comforted by the weather patterns.

“Are we out of the woods yet? No, there’s still a long firefight ahead of us,” Rob Scott, a fire behavior analyst at the U.S. Forest Service, said Saturday. But he added that the cooler weather and cloudiness were encouraging: “That’s going to help firefighters get a toehold in the environment and start containing the fire,” he said.

The arrival of the storm Friday — one of the closest ap proaches of an intact tropical cyclone to California in decades — caused some hiccups across the region, largely because any rain this time of year is unusual.

The Justice Department, seeking to quickly finish its investigation into Trump’s handling of sensitive government documents, proposed setting a deadline of Oct. 17 for comple tion of the arbiter’s work; Trump’s team suggested taking 90 days — or about three times as long.

The

Judge Aileen Cannon, who ordered the parties to pro duce a list of qualified candidates by midnight Friday, will ultimately decide who will be tapped for the job. She will also set the parameters of the review.

Trump’s lawyers are also asking the court to exclude National Archives officials from the process of reviewing the materials; the department believes their involvement is essential.The dispute over the special master’s purview was reflected in an appeal the Justice Department filed Thursday seeking to lift part of Cannon’s order temporarily barring it

from using the documents in its investigation.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which is conducting those national security reviews, said Friday that a classification review and an assessment of the potential risks to national security caused by the insecure storage of documents at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s residence in Palm Beach, Florida, had been “temporarily paused” after consultation with the Justice Department.

While Trump and his allies have repeatedly claimed that the former president had a standing order to declassify all materials he took from the White House, his lawyers have not made that assertion in court. In fact, they have said that any special master in the case would need a high-level securityButclearance.Trump’slawyers have gestured toward his claim of declassification by declining to concede that the documents were classified. They did so again in the filing Friday night, writing that the Justice Department had wrongly assumed “that if a document has a classification marking, it remains classified in perpetuity.”

Huck is married to Judge Barbara Lagoa, whom Trump appointed to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, which oversees federal courts in Florida. Such an appointment

The matter traces back to Trump’s chaotic exit from office in January 2021, when boxes of materials from the residential part of the White House were taken to Mar-a-Lago. They contained thousands of government records — some marked as classified, some not — apparently mixed in with news clippings, articles of clothing, gifts and other items.

Justice Department and lawyers for former President Donald Trump failed to agree late last week on who could serve as an independent arbiter to sift through documents the FBI seized from Trump’s Florida club and residence last month.

Justice Department and Trump legal team clash over special master candidates

Trump’s2020.legal team countered with two suggestions of its own: a retired U.S. District Court judge, Raymond Dearie, a Reagan appointee who sat in the Eastern District of New York and once served as the top federal prosecutor there; and Paul Huck Jr., a former deputy attorney general in Florida who also served as general counsel to Charlie Crist, who was its Republican governor at the time.

But investigators acquired evidence that Trump was still holding onto more government property, including files with classification markings, leading to the search last month.

By contrast, the government argued that the master should look only at unclassified documents and should not adjudicate whether anything was subject to executive privilege.

The department also said Trump should pay for the master since he had asked for it; Trump’s team proposed that taxpayers split the cost.

Cannon has not yet decided whether to comply with the government’s request, which the Justice Department argued was necessary for separate national security assessments to continue.

By May 2021, the National Archives realized that Trump had taken numerous government files with him and began asking for their return. In January, after months of de lay, Trump returned 15 boxes. When the agency discovered sensitive documents mixed in, it referred the matter to the JusticeInDepartment.May,thedepartment obtained a grand jury subpoena requiring Trump to return any other documents marked as classified in his possession. The next month, two of his law yers turned over a small number of such files and told the government that there had been a “diligent search” and no others remained.

Materials related to the search show the Justice Depart ment is investigating crimes that include unauthorized reten tion of national security secrets and obstruction.

The two sides also clashed substantially over the duties of the special master. Trump’s lawyers argued that the arbiter should look at all the documents seized in the search and filter out anything potentially subject to attorney-client or executive privilege.

The Justice Department proposed two former U.S. District Court judges for the position: Barbara Jones, a Clinton ap pointee to the Southern District of New York who performed a similar role in cases involving two personal lawyers for Trump, Michael Cohen in 2017 and Rudy Giuliani in 2021; and Thomas Griffith, a George W. Bush appointee who retired from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in

would appear to create a conflict of interest that could require Lagoa to recuse herself from litigation involving the case.

The department asked an appeals court to overturn the portion of that order that applied to about 100 documents marked as classified, and asked Cannon to hold off on enforcing that part as the appeal unfolded. If she did, the investigation could resume using only those documents.

Agents seized more than 11,000 government documents, including about 100 marked as classified, from Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald J. Trump’s residence in Palm Beach, Fla.

The dispute over the special master was the latest twist in the criminal investigation into Trump’s hoarding of govern ment documents — including some marked as highly classified — and his refusal to return them despite repeated entreaties by the National Archives and a subpoena from a grand jury.

In an eight-page joint filing that listed far more points of disagreement than of consensus, the two sides exhibited sharply divergent visions for what the arbiter, known as a special master, would do, and put forth different candidates.

Authorities said that on a Friday morning this month, Telles, who lived about a 15-minute drive from German, went to the reporter’s house and got into some altercation with him.

But authorities now say that the boss in that story, Robert Telles, went to German’s home on a quiet cul-de-sac this month and stabbed him to death, months after the expose that may have cost him reelection was published. Telles has not yet entered a plea, and his lawyer has not responded to requests for comment.

Even as old-school reporting jobs dwindled, German’s wat chdog articles and columns pried back the curtain on mobsters, crooked politicians, casino titans and just about anyone who misused wealth or power in the city. In the past few years, he had scrutinized lavish spending by the city’s tourism agency, claims of sexual harassment at the coroner’s office and allegations that the Las Vegas Raiders football organization had violated discri mination and labor laws.

He quickly developed sources across the city and became known for his skill at coaxing everyone from cops to defense lawyers into trusting him with information as he wrote about or ganized crime, mobsters and political leaders in need of scrutiny.

“He was interested. He was caring. He was professional,” said Rita Reid, a deputy in the office of the Clark County Public Administrator and one of the people who met German that day. “You could tell, he just wanted to do the right thing.”

After four decades of surviving reporting on the most unsavory characters in a city with a reputation for mob-linked killings, there was little reason to think that German, 69, would be in danger when he turned his attention earlier this year to an obscure government office where some employees claimed their boss was a bully. The article didn’t even run on the front page.

German first got hooked on journalism back in his native Milwaukee, where he got an internship in the late 1970s and befriended the local police reporter, Jim Romenesko.

“He brushed it off and said, ‘I’ve had much worse than that,’” said Rhonda Prast, an assistant managing editor at the ReviewJournal who worked closely with German in recent months. “He wasn’t nervous about it. He wasn’t concerned. Neither was I.” Journalists often face intense criticism, but German would

The killing has rattled and outraged the readers, journalists and sources who had grown to trust German’s brand of shoe leather reporting in a town where little is to be trusted, from the glittering billboards to the gamblers across poker tables.

be only the ninth journalist over the past three decades to be killed in the United States in response to their work.

In recent weeks, German had continued to report on the public administrator office, recently filing a records request for text messages and emails that Telles had sent. Reid said Telles remained infuriated by the scrutiny.

A slain reporter, a city of sin and a politician charged with murder

On a breezy day this spring, when he was supposed to be taking time off, German met at a table outside a Starbucks with two new sources. They shared troubles in the office of the public administrator, a small department that handles the estates of dead people, wondering if German might be interested in writing an Germanarticle.listened

notes in his notepad. He made no promises about writing a story and spent weeks after the meeting checking with other sources and vetting the employees’ accounts.

German spent much of his career at The Las Vegas Sun, but as the newspaper went through a series of layoffs more than a decade ago, he moved over to a rival, The Las Vegas ReviewJournal. That paper was having its own struggles, but German continued to produce the kind of work that made him a vital asset to the newspaper and the city.

Telles denied the claims and criticized the article in state ments on Twitter and his website, but the county went on to hire a consultant to try to resolve the turmoil in the office. Telles then lost a primary campaign to Reid. Online, Telles continued to rail against German, accusing him of writing a “lying smear piece.” German discussed the online posts with his editor.

German eventually produced a story in May that was far from a blockbuster — the agency was so obscure that few in town knew what it did — but was the kind of impactful work he was known to produce. In the story, current and former employees of Telles’ office said he had been such a bad boss that some of them had suffered headaches; they said he had played favorites, given some employees unreasonable assignments and prohibited them from using their phones. They also said that he had been having an “inappropriate relationship” with an employee and that it had made the office dynamic worse.

The man pictured on the surveillance video was wearing an orange construction vest, gloves and a large straw hat that hid his face. Police said Telles had been trying to conceal his identity. A series of road construction projects were taking place near German’s home last week, and many workers wore similar outfits.

The two of them were soon gathering after hours to get drinks at a bar called Major Goolsby’s or chasing stories off the clock, said Romenesko, who went on to a long career of his own.

Before he was arrested, Telles ignored reporters’ questions outside his Telles’home.former wife, Tonia Burton, said she had been stunned to see that Telles had been accused of the killing.

Police said that they had not recovered a murder weapon but that they did find Telles’ DNA at the crime scene. Investigators also searched Telles’ home and car and found a hat and shoes that matched those worn by a person seen on surveillance video of the scene. Both the hat and shoes had been cut up, police said, and the shoes had blood on them.

whole new ballgame,” she said.

The confusion, Kwatra said, was “eminently predictable,” given the number of situations where physicians have to terminate pregnancies to protect the health or life of the pregnant woman. But even she was surprised at the number and range of hospital employees who have emerged with concerns.

Medical impact of Roe reversal goes well beyond abortion clinics, doctors say

American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said at a congressional hearing in July.

“I’m compelled by my conscience to provide abortion care, and I have the training and the skills to do so compassionately and well,” she said. “And so to have my hands tied and not be able to help a person in front of me is devastating.”

Dr. Julie Kwatra, an obstetrician in Scottsdale, Arizona, faced so many questions from doctors and nurses the weekend of the Dobbs decision in June that she and others at her hospital formed a committee to come up with guidelines to protect patients’ health and doctors from liability. A court has blocked one state law banning abortion, and the governor said abortion was still legal. But the state’s attorney general said he intended to enforce a ban that was written before Arizona became a state, so providers have almost entirely stopped.

Some anti-abortion doctors argue that the concerns about not being able to provide lifesaving abortion care are overblown — “blatantly absurd,” as Dr. Christina Francis, the chair of the

Some hospitals have instituted policies requiring one or two additional physicians to review the decision before an abortion can proceed. In states including Indiana and Louisiana, the law requires two doctors to certify that a woman faces life-threatening risk before she can get an abortion.

But Texas’ attorney general, Ken Paxton, sued the administration for its guidance on the federal law, accusing it of an endrun to “turn hospitals and emergency rooms into walk-in abortion clinics.” Courts in the two states reached different conclusions: A federal judge in Texas agreed with the state and temporarily blocked implementation of the federal guidance on emergency treatment; one in Idaho agreed with the Biden administration and blocked the state law.

“Having to consult a lawyer in an emergent situation is a

Forensic nurses who care for sexual assault victims in the emergency room said they would no longer provide morningafter contraception for fear it would be considered an abortion drug. Because the old law punishes those who “aid and abet” an abortion, an anesthesiologist worried that he might be prosecuted for putting a patient to sleep for an abortion. A neonatologist worried about liability for declining to resuscitate a fetus judged no longer“Weviable.already work under a cloud of getting sued. That’s what we signed up for,” Kwatra said. “This is different. This is criminal liability, not civil liability. This is jail time.”

Anti-abortion groups contend that life-threatening conditions are rare in pregnancy and can be treated by inducing labor or performing a C-section rather than an abortion. “Even if the baby does not survive,” wrote Dr. Ingrid Skop, an obstetrician and the director of medical affairs at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, an anti-abortion group, “these humane procedures allow a grieving family to show love and say goodbye.”

During the 50 years of Roe, abortion became the standard of care in many medical situations. Now, laws ban it or make it unavailable in about half the states, usually with exceptions only for rape and incest or to save the life of the pregnant woman. While a few states have attempted to specify conditions that qualify, the laws are generally vague and have failed to account for every possibility. With lawmakers attempting to regulate medical procedures, medical providers say they have to think like lawyers.

Wisconsin, a group of doctors and lawyers is trying to come up with guidelines on how to comply with a newly revived 173-year-old law that prohibits abortion except to save the life of a pregnant woman. They face the daunting task of deﬁning all the emergencies and conditions that might result in a pregnant woman’s death, and the fact that doctors could be punished with six years in prison if a prosecutor disagrees that abortion was necessary.A similar task force at an Arizona hospital recommends having a lawyer on call to help doctors determine whether a woman’s condition threatens her life enough to justify an abortion. Already, the hospital has added questions to its electronic medical forms so they can be used to argue that patients who had abortions would have died without them.

“Not a single state law restricting abortion prevents treating these conditions,” Francis argued, because they make exceptions for any life-threatening emergency.

Several high-proﬁle cases of women denied care have captured headlines and set doctors on edge. But doctors say these extreme cases are not isolated; hospitals are routinely refusing or delaying care. One study of two Dallas hospitals in the nine months after the Texas ban took effect found that women had to wait an average of nine days for their conditions to be considered life threatening enough to justify abortion. Many suffered serious health consequences while they waited, including hemorrhaging and sepsis, and one woman had to have a hysterectomy as a result.

The Biden administration wrote medical providers in July, reminding them that they had to comply with a federal law known as the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. The law requires emergency rooms to provide stabilizing treatment to any patient who arrives with an emergency condition or in labor, or transfer them to a hospital that can provide it. That, the letter said, meant they “must provide” an abortion, even in states that ban it, if it is required to stabilize a woman’s health.

The Justice Department also sued Idaho, saying its new ban on abortion made it impossible for providers to comply with the federal law. A brief ﬁled by a coalition of states in support of the lawsuit enumerated cases across the country where emergency physicians have had to perform abortions to save women’s lives. Well beyond common complications like miscarriage or a separated placenta, they included heart conditions, kidney disorders, sickle cell anemia, acute leukemia and at least one case of preeclampsia so severe that the woman’s liver began to fail.

“There’s such confusion,” said Dr. Allison Linton, an obstetrician in Milwaukee, “and when doctors are hearing this risk of a felony charge, they’re erring on the side of fear.”

Dr. Julie Kwatra, an obstetrician, in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Sept. 1, 2022.

Doctors in Texas began dealing with the questions even before the Supreme Court overturned Roe with its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. A law that took effect a year ago effectively banned most abortions after six weeks.

Physicians would more typically talk to hospital lawyers about guardianship when caring for elderly or psychiatric patients, Haddock said. Now, when patients arrive with ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages or hemorrhaging — all situations where abortion has been established as standard care — the questions for the lawyers are more pressing: “Do we wait until the fetus is deﬁnitely dead, or is mostly dead good enough?” she asked. “If they’re telling us to wait for the condition to be fully emergent, how much bleeding is too much?”

“A lot of us go into emergency medicine because of the imperative to take care of every patient — the person without housing and a CEO — and we’re really proud of that ethical obligation to say, ‘Here’s the patient in front of me and I’m going to do everything I can for them,’” said Dr. Alison Haddock, an emergency physician in Houston and chair of the board of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Now, she said, “We’re no longer basing our judgment on the clinical needs of the woman, we’re basing it on what we understand the legal situation to be.”

And in Texas, oncologists say they now wait for pregnant women with cancer to get sicker before they treat them, because the standard of care would be to abort the fetus rather than allow treatments that damage it, but a state law allows abortion only “at risk of death.” Some hospitals have established committees to evaluate whether a pregnancy complication is severe enough to justify an Twoabortion.months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to abortion, the medical consequences extend far beyond abortion clinics and women seeking to end unwanted pregnancies. Doctors who never thought of themselves as “abortionists,” to use the language of the court’s decision, say the criminalization of abortion is changing how they treat women who arrive in emergency rooms and on labor and delivery ﬂoors with wanted but complicated pregnancies.

Solomon Hsiang, the Chancellor’s Profes sor of Public Policy at the University of Califor nia, Berkeley, and a co-director of the Climate Impact Lab, agreed that trade might simulta neously make the world more resilient to these disasters and more vulnerable.

feed its own population but tend to exacerbate international shortages and push up food prices, further aggravating the problem.

Climate change could worsen supply chain turmoil

Much remains unknown about how the world’s rapid warming will affect agriculture, economic activity and trade in the coming de cades. But one clear trend is that natural disas ters like droughts, hurricanes and wildfires are becoming more frequent and unfolding in more locations. In addition to the toll of human injury and death, these disasters are likely to wreak sporadic havoc on global supply chains, exa cerbating the shortages, delayed deliveries and higher prices that have frustrated businesses and consumers.“What we just went through with COVID is a window to what climate could do,” said Kyle Meng, an associate professor at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management and the department of economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Academics say the effect of these disas ters and of higher temperatures in general will be particularly obvious when it comes to food trade. Some parts of the world, like Russia, Scan dinavia and Canada, could produce more grains and other food crops to feed countries as global temperatures rise.

But those centers of production would be farther from hotter and more densely populated areas closer to the equator. Some of those re gions may struggle even more than they do now with poverty and food insecurity.

“That’s on the good side of the ledger,” Hsiang said. “But the bad side is, as everyone really acutely understands, we are so intercon nected from our supply chains that events on one side of the world can dramatically impact people’s well-being elsewhere.”

same time.Natural disasters and coronavirus lock downs in China have been particularly painful, given that the country is home to much of the world’s manufacturing. But the United States has also felt the rising impacts from extreme weather.

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the WTO’s direc tor-general, has described trade as “a mechanism for adaptation and resilience” that can help cou ntries deal with crop failure and natural disas ters. In a speech in January, she cited economic models estimating that climate change was on track to contribute to severe malnutrition, with as many as 55 million people at risk by 2050 because of local effects on food production. But greater trade could cut that number by 35 mi llion people, she said.

The supply chains that have stretched around the world in recent decades are studies in modern efficiency, whizzing products like electronics, chemicals, couches and food across continents and oceans at ever-cheaper costs.

But those networks proved fragile, first du ring the pandemic and then as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with companies struggling to source their goods amid factory and port shutdowns. With products in short supply, prices have spiked, fueling rapid inflation worldwide.

Chinese factories were shuttered again in late August, a frequent occurrence in a country that has imposed intermittent lockdowns to fight the coronavirus. But this time, the culprit was not the pandemic. Instead, a re cord-setting drought crippled economic activity across southwestern China, freezing internatio nal supply chains for automobiles, electronics and other goods that have been routinely dis rupted over the past three years.

But setting up factories in other parts of the world to offset those risks could be costly, for both businesses and the consumers whom companies will pass their costs on to in the form of higher prices. Just as the pandemic has resul ted in higher prices for consumers, Meng said, so could climate change, particularly if extreme weather affects large areas of the world at the

The drought in southwestern China has also had ripple effects for global businesses. It drastically reduced hydropower production in the region, requiring power cuts to factories and scrambling supply chains for electronics, car parts and other goods. Volkswagen and Toyota curtailed production at nearby factories, as did Foxconn, which produces electronics, and CATL, a manufacturer of batteries for electric cars.

In some situations, trade can help soften the effects of climate change — for example, allowing communities to import food when lo cal crops fail because of a drought, he said.

Recent rainfall allowed power to be tem porarily restored to houses and businesses in western China. But drought persists across much of central and western China, and reservoirs re main at one-third of their usual level.

China even resorted to using drones to seed clouds with silver iodide in an attempt to trigger more rain, said Zhao Zhiqiang, the depu ty director of the Weather Modification Center of the China Meteorological Administration, at a news conference Tuesday.

The Yangtze River, which bisects China, dipped so low that the oceangoing vessels that typically traverse its upper reaches from the rainy summer into early winter could no longer run.

That means less water not only for hydro power but also for the region’s chemical facto ries and coal-fired power plants, which need huge quantities of water for cooling.

White House economists warned in a re port this year that climate change would make future disruptions of the global supply chains more common, citing research showing that the global frequency of natural disasters had increa sed almost threefold in recent decades.

Companies had to scramble to secure trucks to move their goods to Chinese ports, while China’s food importers hunted for more trucks and trains to carry their cargo into the country’s interior. The heat and drought have wilted many of the vegetables in southwestern China, causing prices to nearly double, and have made it hard for the surviving pigs and poultry to put on weight, driving up meat prices.

At the same time, the coronavirus and China’s insistence on a zero-COVID policy con tinue to pose supply chain risks by restricting movement in significant portions of the coun try. Last Thursday, Chinese authorities locked down Chengdu, a city of more than 21 million in southwestern China, to clamp down on coro navirus outbreaks.

One danger is that increasing competition for food could encourage countries to introdu ce protectionist policies that restrict or stop the export of food, as some have done in response to the pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukrai ne. These export restrictions allow a country to

The Biden administration, in a plan re leased Tuesday outlining how the United States intends to bolster its semiconductor industry, said the current concentration of chipmakers in Southeast Asia had left the industry vulnerable to disruptions from climate change as well as pandemics and war.

The San Juan Daily Star Monday, September 12, 2022 11

The World Trade Organization, citing the damage that protectionist policies could pose, has urged countries to keep trade open to com bat the negative effects of climate change.

These frequent disruptions in Chinese ma nufacturing and logistics have added to concerns among global executives and policymakers that many of the world’s factories are far too geogra phically concentrated, which leaves them vulne rable to pandemics and natural disasters.

Such interruptions could soon become more frequent for companies that source parts and products from around the world as clima te change and the extreme weather events that accompany it continue to disrupt the global de livery system for goods in highly unpredictable ways, economists and trade experts warn.

During the process, however, the couple discovered what many prospective downsizers do: more expenses and headaches than they’d anticipated.

Downsizing in retirement: Expenses they didn’t expect

have few additional expenses beyond groceries, the occasional cruise and dinners out with friends. The community’s monthly fee covers utilities, maintenance, weekly apartment cleaning, and many meals and amenities. They have gone from two cars to one, saving on insurance, gas and repairs. If the spouses need transportation at the same time, the retirement community provides a free ride service.

Robinson, who is Dale Boyd’s brother-in-law and helped with the sale of his house, also said retirees should take a close look at a potential destination’s taxes. States vary on how they tax retirement income, and property taxes differ by locality. Even if your new house is smaller than your old one, your property taxes may not drop, depending on the new home’s value and its tax rate.

In 2018, the couple chose a two-bedroom unit at a continuing care retirement community in nearby Issaquah, which would provide assisted living and nursing care if they needed it.

Two weeks later, they placed much of their furniture in storage and moved to a rental house, where they lived for nine months, at $2,000 a month. In the meantime, they signed a contract for a house that had not yet been built. They moved into it in

Louise Angel Kiss and her husband, Charles, lived in their four-bedroom, split-level house in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue, Washington, for 40 years. Their two daughters had moved away long ago, and the couple decided they’d had enough of the stairs and the hassles and costs of upkeep. Like many older homeowners, they decided to downsize.

“If you’re turning 65 in our area, you could save a considerable amount on property taxes,” said Robinson, referring to his county’s income-based partial tax exemption for seniors.

Beyond ﬁnances

The Boyds sold their house for about $500,000 and bought the new one for $450,000 with cash from the sale’s proceeds. A $300 monthly fee covers lawn care and access to a clubhouse with a ﬁtness room, tennis courts and a pool.

“If you don’t want any home maintenance, renting may make sense,” Kennedy said. And because closing costs can be steep, renting also may be a good option for downsizers who expect to move again within several years, she said.

If your house has appreciated significantly over the years, capital gains taxes could crimp cash proceeds from a sale. Homeowners who have owned and lived in their home for at least two of the five years before the sale could owe capital gains tax on any profit above $250,000 for singles and $500,000 for joint filers. Widows and widowers may be eligible for the $500,000 exclusion if they sell within two years of a spouse’s death and have not remarried at the time of the sale.

Despite their unexpected costs, Louise and Charles Kiss improved their cash ﬂow after they sold their house. With the proceeds of the house sale, the couple were able to repay the bridge loan for the upfront entrance fee at a retirement community called Timber Ridge at Talus and invest the balance, about $250,000, in U.S. Treasury bonds. They cover the monthly fee and other expenses with interest on those bonds, retirement savings, Social Security beneﬁts, Louise Kiss’ income as a travel agent and a pension she receives as a retired nurse for the state medical

As for the Kisses, ﬁnding a place that could attend to future health issues was paramount. So was social interaction with other residents, including Louise Kiss’ sister, who lives in the complex. Kiss, who is now the social chairwoman for her ﬂoor, recently organized a summer social on the patio with hamburgers, ice cream and “the whole works.”

For the Kisses and the Boyds, the lifestyle their new homes would provide was as important as any ﬁnancial consideration.Retirees who are looking to shrink their square footage should carefully consider the kind of life they want to lead, said Andrew Carle, the lead instructor of a graduate curriculum in senior housing administration at Georgetown University.

One way to avoid such surprises is to thoroughly check out the housing market before putting out the “For Sale” sign. Older homeowners should consult with several real estate agents and appraisers to get a realistic picture of what their house might sell for and what smaller homes might cost.

You can use the same calculator if you are thinking of renting rather than buying after selling your house.

Mike Robinson, a real estate agent in Peachtree City, Georgia, outside Atlanta, said homebuyers who planned to move into condominiums or independent homes in planned 55-plus retirement communities also needed to budget for monthly fees. These homeowners association fees pay for security, grounds maintenance, and amenities such as pools and ﬁtness rooms. They are generally not tax-deductible and can range from $100 to more than $1,000 a month.

Louise Kiss said she and her husband had paid capital gains tax on the sale of their home. On top of that, the money they earned from the sale beyond $500,000 drove up their income-related monthly Medicare premiums for the year. And because their premiums are deducted from their Social Security payments, they received smaller monthly beneﬁts. “That really hurt,” she said.

overlooked line item for sellers: closing costs, which could reach between 8% and 10% of the sales price, according to the real estate website Zillow. Those typically include a 6% real estate agent commission, though sellers could try to negotiate a reduction to that charge. Moving costs and home staging, such as new paint, ﬂoors or remodeling, will also eat into proﬁts.

Buyers should be sure to ask what the fees cover. In some communities, for instance, they do not cover lawn care or parking.

Despite the hot Seattle-area housing market, their house did not sell until they spent $20,000 to remove the popcorn ceilings and renovate the kitchen. The delay in getting money from the sale forced them to take out a bridge loan to pay the community’s hefty entrance fee on their new apartment.

“We had our bubble of security and safety,” said Louise Kiss, 81, a travel agent. Charles Kiss, 86, sold a dry cleaning business years ago.

Callum Taylor, 27, an actor from the northwest English town of Preston, traveled to London to leave yellow roses at the palace gates. He said he had heard yellow was one of Elizabeth’s favorite colors. Taylor admitted he was not sure of his information but added, “I think we all felt we knew her.”

Yet the anxiety runs even deeper, scholars and commentators say, a reﬂection not only of the queen’s long shadow but also of the unsettled country she leaves behind.

Queen’s death leaves UK grappling with its sense of national identity

At the formal proclamation of her son, Charles, as king Saturday, the void left by the queen was palpable. Her empty throne, bearing the initials E.R., loomed before an assembly of the new monarch; his heir, Prince William; the archbishop of Canterbury; and the prime minister and her six living predecessors.ForolderBritons especially, the loss is “deep and personal and almost familial,” said Johnson, paying tribute to the queen in Parliament on Friday, four days after she accepted his resignation in one of her last acts.

“It all feeds into a sense of uncertainty and insecurity, which was already there because of Brexit and then COVID and now a new, very inexperienced prime minister,” said Timothy Garton Ash, a professor of European studies at the University of Oxford.

From Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic to the serial scandals that recently drove Prime Minister Boris Johnson from ofﬁce, the end of the second Elizabeth age has been a time of unending turmoil for Britain.

“Perhaps it is partly that she has always been there, a changeless human reference point in British life,” he said. “The person who, all the surveys say, appears most often in our dreams. So unvarying in her polestar radiance that we have perhaps been lulled into thinking that she might be in some way eternal.”Beyond the queen’s constancy, Johnson and others said, was her immense global stature. She was a living link to World War II, after which Winston Churchill helped draw the map of the postwar world, seated around a Yalta conference table with Franklin D. Roosevelt and Josef Stalin.

Johnson and Truss have harked back to that role with their robust support for Ukraine. But Britain these days is less a major power at the center of global decisionmaking than a midsize one cheering from the sidelines. It is ﬁtting that the last Briton to

sooner had the long-anticipated news broken — Queen Elizabeth II was dead — than Britain activated Operation London Bridge, the painstakingly choreographed funeral plan that guides the country through the rituals of tribute and mourning that culminate with her burial 10 days later.But the plan, with its metronomic precision, masks something far messier: a rupture to the national psyche. The queen’s death last week, at 96, is a genuinely traumatic event, leaving many in this stoic country anxious and unmoored. As they come to terms with the loss of a ﬁgure who embodied Britain, they are unsure of their nation’s identity, its economic and social well-being, or even its role in the world.

She was, some said, a pioneer in the exercise of what later became known as “soft power.”“Icannot lead you into battle,” the queen said in 1957. “I do not give you laws or administer justice, but I can do something else. I can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands, and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.”

Not just the rock, but the rhythm of British daily life: Her image is printed on pound notes and postage stamps, her royal monogram — E.R. for Elizabeth Regina — emblazoned on ﬂags and red postal boxes across the land.

In the parks and squares around Buckingham Palace, where crowds gathered Saturday, people spoke of her loss in political and personal terms. “She meant reliability and stability,” said Kate Nattrass, 59, a health recruiter from Christchurch, New Zealand, which is a member of the Commonwealth.

On Sunday, Russian forces appeared to retaliate with cruise missiles.“Do you still think that you can scare us, break us, make us make concessions?” Zelenskyy asked in his speech. “Read our lips: Without gas or without you? Without you. Without light or without you? Without you. Without water or without you?

The dizzying speed of Ukraine’s push in the past several days has smashed what had been a monthslong stalemate, buoyed a nation’s spirits and galvanized calls for even more Western military support. Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, the top commander of Ukraine’s armed forces, said that Ukraine had reclaimed more than 1,150 square miles of terrain since the start of September. A map released Sunday by Russia’s defense ministry appeared to show that Ukrainian forces have driven Moscow’s troops from almost all of Kharkiv province.

By ANDREW E. KRAMER

Ukraine’s rapid gains in the Kharkiv region have significantly weakened Russia’s hold on eastern Ukraine, which it has used as a stronghold to wage its war since February. Ukrainian of ficials said Saturday that their troops had retaken the city of Izium, a strategically important railway hub southeast of Kharkiv that Russian forces seized in the spring after a bloody, weekslong battle.On Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that Ukrainian forces had recaptured Chkalovske, a village in the Kharkiv region that lies roughly halfway between Izium and Kharkiv city. And the Ukrainian military command described continuing combat in cities in the Donetsk region, part of the stretch of mining towns and rolling fields known as Donbas, one of Russia’s main targets of the war.

Ukraine’s gains have come with the help of increased intelligence sharing with the United States, American ofﬁcials said.

Late in the day, in what Ukrainian of ﬁcials condemned as a ﬁt of pique over its losses, Moscow attacked critical infrastructure in Kharkiv, knocking out power in the region and several other places.“Thegoal is to deprive people of light and heat,” Zelenskyy wrote on Twitter.

Aday after routing Russian forces in a lightning advance that seized hundreds of square miles and a strategic town in the northeast, Ukraine claimed additional territory Sunday in an offensive that has swiftly reshaped the battleﬁeld in the nearly 200-day-old war and left Moscow reeling.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine said that “deliberate and cynical strikes” had caused a total blackout in the region of Kharkiv, in the northeast, and Donetsk, in the east, after Russian attacks. “Even through the impenetrable darkness, Ukraine and the civilized world clearly see these terrorist acts,” he said in a speech posted to Telegram.

Russia’s retreat is the biggest embarrassment for President Vladimir Putin’s larger and better equipped forces since their attempt to seize Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, was repelled at the start of the invasion.

The mayor of Kharkiv, Ihor Terekhov, said the attack was a clear act of retribution for Ukraine’s successful counteroffensive.

“This is a vile and cynical revenge of the Russian aggressor for the successes of our army at the front, in particular in the Kharkiv region,” he said on Telegram.

Millions of people have been driven from their homes, struggling through waist-deep, fetid water to reach islands of safety. Nearly all of the country’s crops along with thousands of livestock and stores of wheat and fertilizer have been damaged — prompting warnings of a looming food crisis.

“I have lost everything now. There is 5 to 6 feet of water in my fields, and I do not know how long it will take the water to dry,” said Hingorja, whose sole source of income to feed his five-member family is farming.Hingorja recently took a loan from a relative to buy new seeds and fertilizer after his stores washed away in the floods.

ﬂooding has crippled a country that was already reeling from an economic crisis and double digit-inﬂation that has sent the price of basic goods soaring.

The ﬂoodwaters also threaten to derail Pakistan’s wheat planting season this fall, raising the possibility of continued food shortfalls and price spikes through next year. It is an alarming prospect in a country that depends on its wheat production to feed itself at a time when global wheat supplies are precarious.

The scale of the devastation in Pakistan stands out even in a year punctuated by extreme weather, including heat waves across Europe and the United States, intense rain that has drenched parts of Asia and the worst drought to hit East Africa in Sincedecades.thestart of the monsoon season in Pakistan this summer, more than 1,300 people have died in ﬂoods — nearly half of whom were children — and more than 6,000 have been injured, according to the United Nations.

The province received nearly six times its 30-year average rainfall this monsoon season, which has damaged around 50% of its crops, according to the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization.

In Tank District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a vast province in the northwest, the ﬂooding washed out 35 acres of land that Rahimullah Khan, 47, cultivates, destroying his entire crop of rice, corn and sugar cane. He had poured his yearly savings into the crops, he said, and borrowed around 135,000 Pakistani rupees — or nearly $1,700 — for fertilizer.

The damage to the country’s agricultural sector could also be felt across the globe, experts warn. Pakistan is one of the world’s top producers and exporters of cotton and rice — crops that have been devastated by the ﬂood. As much as half of the country’s cotton crop has been destroyed, of ﬁcials said, a blow to global cotton production in a year when cotton prices have soared as other major producers from the United States to China have been hit with extreme weather.

Aid of ficials have warned that even after the floods subside, rural communities face a possible second wave of deaths from food shortages and diseases transmitted by contaminated water and animals. And severe inflation and shortages of fresh produce will likely hit urban centers unaffected by the flooding.

Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres said in a message launching an appeal for international assistance to Pakistan.But the scale of the crisis has complicated relief efforts, Pakistani of ficials say. And as conditions worsen, anger has risen across Pakistan over the government’s response.“We were left to fend for ourselves,” said Mushtaq Jamali, 84, a farmer from Sindh province. “There was not a single government of ficial or elected representative in our village to help us to evacuate.”

‘Very dire’: Devastated by ﬂoods, Pakistan faces looming food crisis

“We’re in a very dire situation,” said Rathi Palakrishnan, deputy country director of the World Food Program in Pakistan. “There’s no buffer stocks of wheat. There’s no seeds because farmers have lost them.“Ifthe ﬂood levels don’t recede before the planting season in October, we’re in big trouble,” she added.

“I am left with nothing but a pair of cows,” Khan said. “The dairy from the cow is the only thing keeping my children from complete hunger.”

To address the immediate needs of the millions affected by the ﬂooding, aid groups and the Pakistani government have launched rescue efforts and mounted emergency aid distribution.

“Floods are God’s wrath, and we cannot escape from it. But who will tell it to the lender who will now ask me to pay back his money?” he said. “I will have not only lost my standing crops but also

In Sanghar, one of the largest cotton-producing districts in Sindh, Imdad Hingorja, a 45-year-old farmer, owns a small plot of land and was growing cotton. He said that the rains and ﬂoods came exactly when the crops in his ﬁelds were ready to harvest.

July, Ili — the broader area including Yining — began announcing scattered COVID cases every day: four, and then 20, and then 67. Within a week, the area had recorded over 140 cases. Of ﬁcials have said the outbreak was from an omicron variant of the coronavirus that originated abroad.

In recent days, complaints from Yining have generated a surge of online comments in China. Uyghurs abroad have also shared messages describing poor conditions in quarantine facilities for residents suspected of having had close contact with infected people in Yining, which Uyghurs call Ghulja.

This summer, Yining, a city in the Xinjiang region of far-western China, celebrated a boom of Chinese tourists seeking a sunny respite from COVID worries in their hometowns.

Yining received little national attention until lately. It is in the northwest corner of Xinjiang, an ethnically divided region that has been under an intense crackdown aimed at Uyghurs, Kazakhs and other largely Muslim minorities. Late last month, the United Nations’ human rights of ﬁce said the Chinese government’s mass detentions and other repressive measures in Xinjiang “may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity.”

“I think what has happened in Shanghai gets more attention, as it’s a ﬁnancial hub, and Chinese people can protest,” said Rayhan Asat, a Uyghur human rights lawyer who is a fellow at Yale Law School.

2021 when 54 bills were introduced in 22 states, according to a report released last month by PEN America, a free speech organization. Only seven of those bills became law in 2022, but they are some of the strictest to date, and the sheer number of bills introduced reﬂects a growing enthusiasm on the right for censorship as a political weapon and instrument of social control.

Political factions on the left and the right are insecure enough in their ideas that they’ve tried to muzzle those with whom they disagree. But only right-wing legislators are currently writing censorship into law and enforcing it with the power of the state.

These new measures are far more punitive than past efforts, with heavy fines or loss of state funding for institutions that dare to offer courses covering the forbidden content. Teachers can be fired and even face criminal charges. Lawsuits have already started to trickle through the courts asking for broad interpretations of the new statutes. For the first time, the PEN report noted, some bills have also targeted private schools and universities in addition to public schools.

This year alone, 137 gag order bills like these have been introduced in 36 state legislatures. That’s a sharp increase from

Right-wing lawmakers are also looking to restrict what Americans can say about abortion. Model legislation from the National Right to Life Committee, which is circulating in state legislatures, aims to ban Americans from giving “instructions over the telephone, the internet, or any other medium of communication regarding self-administered abortions or means to obtain an illegal abortion.” That prohibition extends to hosting websites that contain such information.

Even when such bills fail, these efforts to censor can easily cascade into vigilantism. Across the country, libraries in small towns are being closed and library staff are being harassed and intimidated. The New York Times reports that librarians “have been labeled pedophiles on social media, called out by local politicians and reported to law enforcement ofﬁcials. Some librarians have quit after being harassed online. Others have been ﬁred for refusing to remove books from circulation.” The American Library Association has documented more than 1,600 books in 700 libraries or library systems that have faced attempted censorship.

The Supreme Court has also recognized limits on the censorship of school libraries, if not curricula. “Local school boards may not remove books from school libraries simply because they dislike the ideas contained in those books and seek by their removal to ‘prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion,’” a plurality of justices wrote in a 1982 decision.

In Florida today it may even be illegal for teachers to talk about who they love or marry thanks to the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. Of course, it goes far beyond sex: The Sunshine State’s Republican commissioner of education rejected 28 math textbooks this year for including verboten content.

It wasn’t all that long ago that Republican lawmakers around the country were introducing laws designed to protect free speech on college campuses. Now, they’re using the coercive power of the state to restrict what people can talk about, learn about or discuss in public, and exposing them to lawsuits for doing so. That’s a clear threat to the ideals of a pluralistic political culture, in which challenging ideas are welcomed and discussed.

about free speech can feel rhetorical until they are not. Here’s what censorship looks like in practice: A student newspaper and journalism program in Nebraska shuttered for writing about Pride Month. The state of Oklahoma seeking to revoke the teaching certiﬁcate of an English teacher who shared a QR code that directed students to the Brooklyn Public Library’s online collection of banned books. A newly elected district attorney in Tennessee musing openly about jailing teachers and librarians.

Despite the moral panic over teaching about gender and race, American parents say they are overwhelmingly satisﬁed with the instruction their children receive. A poll from National Public Radio and Ipsos earlier this year found that just 18% of parents said their child’s school “taught about gender and sexuality in a way that clashed with their family’s values,” while 19% said the same about race and racism. Only 14% felt that way about AmericanAndhistory.yet,some

Censorship is the refuge of the weak

Republican candidates are using the threat of censorship as a show of strength, evidence of their power to muzzle political opponents. Last year in Virginia, Glenn Youngkin won the governorship of that state after a campaign in which he demagogued the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “Beloved” by Nobel Prize-winning Toni Morrison. Other candidates are looking to make it a centerpiece of their pitch to voters in the midterm elections in races from Texas to New Jersey.

How and what to teach American students has been contested ground since the earliest days of public education. The content of that instruction is something about which Americans of goodwill can respectfully disagree.

For a vocal minority to ban discussion of certain facts or topics — because they make some people uncomfortable or simply to score political points — is deeply undemocratic, particularly in a nation founded on a commitment to free speech and the open exchange of ideas. Free expression isn’t just a feature of democracy; it is a necessary prerequisite.

Some want to extend censorship far beyond the classroom. In Virginia, a Republican state representative tried to get a court to declare as obscene two young adult books frequently banned in schools, “Gender Queer,” by Maia Kobabe and “A Court of Mist and Fury,” by Sarah Mass. The case was dismissed last week, but if it had been successful, it could have made it illegal for bookstores and libraries to carry the books or for private citizens to sell or share them everywhere in the state.

Acts of censorship are often tacit admissions of weakness masquerading as strength. This weakness is on full display with the imposition of so-called educational gag orders, laws that restrict the discussions of race, gender, sexuality and American history in K-12 and higher education. A political project convinced of the superiority of its ideas doesn’t need the power of the state to shield people from competing ideas. Censorship is the desperate rear-guard action of a movement that has already lost the ﬁght for hearts and minds.

As princess Elizabeth’s early years were marked by two cataclys mic events: her uncle King Edward VIII’s abdication, in 1936, from the throne, which automatically catapulted her fragile father into the job of king and put her next in the line of succession; and World War II, which took place when she was still a teenager.

By SARAH LYALL

Here are some additional highlights of the portrayals of Elizabeth on film and onstage, and occasionally in fic tion, over the years.

The actors who have wrestled with that issue are too many to count. “The Crown” alone needed three women to portray Elizabeth at different eras of her life: Claire Foy in her early life, Olivia Colman in the middle years and Imelda Staunton as the queen in winter.

The queen makes endless appearances in the count less dramas devoted to the disastrous marriage between her son Charles and his wife Diana, the Princess of Wales. Usu ally her job is to express horror at their dysfunction or reg ister disapproval on how their unroyal behavior is affecting their children, their family and the monarchy.

“The Crown” there was Stephen Frears’ film “The Queen” (2006) set in the bewildering days when Britain erupted in grief and anger following Diana’s shock ing death in a car accident, in 1997. The reticent, traditionbound Elizabeth, played by Helen Mirren, is shown strug gling with her private anguish as she is forced over and over again to bow to national pressure and express herself in public.

Later, Mirren would reprise her role onstage in Peter Morgan’s “The Audience” (2013), playing the queen over the course of 60 years as she talks politics and other mat ters with a succession of prime ministers at their scheduled weeklyPrunellameetings.Scales made a sudden, witty appearance as

he was the most opaque of celebrities, a silent film star somehow thriving in a TikTok world. If no one except her closest friends and family knew what Queen Eliza beth II was really like, that’s exactly how she wanted it. Her regal reserve, her impassive expressions, her re sistance to personal revelation — all of it made the queen, who died Thursday at 96, an irresistible object of imagina tive speculation. She was an outline of a woman that people could fill in however they fancied. And fill it in they did. Over the years, Elizabeth was a character in an endless stream of feature films, made-for-TV movies and television series — biopics, satires, dramas, comedies, you name it — as well as in the occasional documentary, play, musical and novel.Herlife was remarkable for being long, her reign re markable for encompassing so much history. But no one was beheaded, no one was plotted against, no one was im prisoned in a tower. Dramas about her predecessors in the job — Elizabeth I, Henry V, Henry VIII, Richard II, to name a few — are full of grand plots and high stakes. Dramas about Elizabeth II were more inward-looking, all trying to address the tantalizing and unanswerable question about her: What

Sprung from Bucking ham Palace to mingle, incognito, with the ecstatic crowds, Princess Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon) and her younger sister, Princess Margaret (Bel Powley), indulge in a wild night of drinking, dancing, flirting, wading in a fountain and riding a city bus.

In an effort to demystify themselves that they later regretted, the Windsors in 1969 were the subjects of a 90-minute fly-on-the-wall documentary, “Royal Family.” Watched by 37 million Britons, it included scenes in which Prince Philip attempted to cook sausages on a barbecue, Prince Charles went water-skiing and the queen fed carrots to her horses. The queen later ordered that the movie never be broadcast again, deciding that it had shed perhaps too much light on her family.

The Diana years

Choice examples of this genre include “Princess in Love,” a trashy film about how Diana cheated on Charles with James Hewitt, an army captain, much to the dismay of the queen (Lisa Daniely). There is also “Whatever Love Means,” an equally trashy account of the adulterous ro mance between Prince Charles and his former girlfriend and future wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, in which the queen is played by Stella McCusker. Most recently, “Spencer” (2021), starred Kristin Stewart as a mentally fragile Diana and featured Stella Gonet as Elizabeth, by turns alarmed and uncomprehending as her daughter-in-law unravels be fore herAndeyes.before

The queen onstage

An inscrutable monarch, endlessly scrutinized onstage and onscreen

As queen

The actress Helen Hirren as Queen Elizabeth in a scene from “The Audience” at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater in New York on Feb. 13, 2015. The queen was portrayed in plays and highbrow films, in made-for-TV movies and broad comedies.

In “The King’s Speech” (2010), the young Princess Elizabeth, played by Freya Wilson, appears briefly in the backdrop of the drama about the efforts of her father, now King George VI, to overcome his stutter and address the na tion with confidence and authority when Britain enters the war, in 1939. (The real-life queen was said to have found the movie “moving and enjoyable.”)

In 1982, an unemployed house painter broke into Buckingham Palace and made his way to the queen’s bed room, where he remained for at least 10 minutes until help arrived. There is no documentary footage, but actor Emma Thompson played Elizabeth in “Walking the Dogs,” a 2012 TV dramatization of the incident.

A brief film that helped tee off the cer emony opened with James Bond (a black-tiewearing Daniel Craig) bustling into Bucking ham Palace, dodging several royal corgis and entering the office of the monarch. She was at her desk, resplendent in pink. “Good eve ning, Mr. Bond,” she said.

The two then flew by helicopter across London and parachuted into Olympic Stadi um — Elizabeth, unsurprisingly, had a stunt double for that part — before the film ended. And then the real queen, in the same pink outfit, regally took her seat as the audience in the stadium roared its delighted approval. Perhaps she was touched or thrilled; it was impossible to know.

Her face was utterly impassive.

The queen in comedy

Wouldn’t it be fun to imagine that the behind-closed-doors queen is in fact full of mischief and spontaneity? In “The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!” (1988), Eliza beth (Jeannette Charles, whose uncanny re semblance to the real monarch kept the roles coming over the years) for some reason attends an Angels-Mariners baseball game at Dodger Stadium. She throws out the first pitch, takes part in The Wave and is saved from an assas sination plot when Leslie Nielsen’s character, in a huge break with royal protocol, wrestles her down and shields her with his body.

It was the perfect expression of Eliza beth’s rare ability to be everywhere at once without giving herself away, and the tiniest glimpse into her understated sense of humor. As the world watched the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, it found, to its delight, that the queen was play ing along.

headlines TV melodramas. The romance between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, for instance, has been the subject of three Lifetime TV films (so far). Actor Maggie Sullivan played the queen for each of those.

The queen as a literary character

On “Saturday Night Live” in the 2010s, Fred Armisen imagined the queen as a swag gering, foul-mouthed East End gangster. De ploying a Cockney accent, his Elizabeth threatens and menaces Kate Middleton, new ly engaged to Prince William, the minute the prince leaves the room. (Bill Hader played the queen’s husband, Prince Philip, as equally pu gilistic.)Similarly, June Squibb materialized in the crowd at Wimbledon in Andy Samberg’s mockumentary “Seven Days in Hell” (2015), patriotically giving the royal finger to the nonBritish competitor.

One of the huge questions about the queen has been what her imaginative life was like, beyond her well-known interests in things like dogs and horses. In his winsome novella “The Uncom mon Reader,” British writer Alan Bennett con jured an alternative reality in which Elizabeth happens upon a mobile library outside Buck ingham Palace, and it changes her forever.

Filmed versions of all three plays were broadcast on television.

Charles reprised her role as Elizabeth in other movies, including “National Lam poon’s European Vacation” (1985), in which she meets Chevy Chase in a reception line in a dream sequence, and spy spoof “Austin Powers in Goldmember” (2002), in which she knights the title character, played by Mike My ers.

Are airlines capable of fundamentally changing without fines or stricter rules?

Travelers look at a display board showing canceled and delayed flights at Orlando International Airport earlier this year.

The San Juan Daily StarMonday, September 12, 202222

and we’re proud to report that airlines vastly improved their plans,” Karine JeanPierre, the White House press secretary, said Thursday.Giventhe other sorts of proposals that have been floating around — fining airlines $55,000 per passenger for cancellations caused by staffing; taking the European ap proach and requiring airlines to pay travel ers hundreds of dollars for some canceled flights; and reassigning airline enforcement to state attorneys general — a chart might seem like a small step. Here’s how to un derstand its impact.

On the ground-transportation front, a Delta representative said it was mislead ing for the Department of Transportation to take credit for the change as Delta had always provided compensation for taxi services. Similarly, a United spokesperson said providing such transportation was a “long-standing United policy.”

cies on rebooking passengers on other air lines. The officials commended airlines for changing so much, so quickly.

The hope seems to be that by pub lishing airlines’ promises, the airlines will

be more likely to adhere to them. Asked if he was shaming the airlines into doing the right thing, Buttigieg, in a recent phone interview, offered a more positive framing.

The airlines say they are, noting that they have already made major changes to schedules and staffing, and as a result, things have gotten better, with cancella tions falling notably in recent weeks. Some analysts back them up, arguing that the air lines are implicitly incentivized to reduce cancellations, given that they cost money and create major headaches.

The week before the dashboard launch, Buttigieg said he was open to fin ing the airlines and called fines “an impor tant part of our tool kit,” which he has used in the past, but should be part of “a bigger framework.”

By HEATHER MURPHY and NIRAJ CHOK

White House and Department of Transportation officials said the mere idea of an interactive dashboard compelled air lines to make major changes in just two weeks. Before the dashboard’s launch, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent a letter urging airlines to commit to a num ber of measures, such as hotel vouchers. He also told them that, along with the pro posal he made last month to update federal guidelines on refunds, which he will re visit in November, he was “contemplating” making new “Today,rules.theDepartment of Transpor tation officially launched the dashboard,

Were airlines already committed to rebooking flights on a competitor if the original flight was significantly delayed for reasons within the airline’s control?

n Thursday, the Department of Transportation unveiled its most concrete endeavor yet to fix air travel: an online dashboard featuring 10 American airlines with green check marks next to the services they offer when flights are delayed or canceled for reasons within their control. The website, which is remi niscent of the sort of brand comparison charts offered up by Consumer Reports magazine, reveals, for example, that Jet Blue and Hawaiian Airlines will, in some circumstances, rebook passengers on an other airline when a flight is canceled, but that Southwest and Alaska will not.

What happens if the airlines don’t of fer what’s on the chart?

What actually just changed?

OSHI

“There’s no shame in doing the right thing,” he said. He also called the dash board a “tool for transparency” — lan guage echoed by Jean-Pierre’s announce ment that the goal was to “give Americans more transparency about what airlines owe them.”If airlines don’t meet the commit ment stated in the chart, the Department of Transportation said passengers could submit a complaint. Of course, that won’t immediately help.

But according to the airlines, not much has changed. Most said they did little beyond tweaking some language to more clearly describe policies that were already in place. American Airlines and Delta Air Lines said that in response to the letter from Buttigieg, they clarified their rules on when passengers would receive compensation for canceled or delayed flights. But, they said, they had not made any substantive policy changes and had already offered hotel vouchers, meal vouchers and rebook ings on other airlines if they could not pro vide reasonable alternatives themselves. United Airlines said it had shortened the length of delays required for a meal vouch er by an hour, but that other policies were unchanged. Southwest said it had made no substantive changes but, rather, updated its customer service plan to better reflect poli cies already in place.

Several major carriers say they are committed to rebooking flights on anoth er airline, although it’s unclear how often they have done this during the pandemic travel chaos. Paul Hudson, president of Fly ersrights.org, a nonprofit organization ded icated to consumer rights, said that over the past several decades, airlines typically only did this for “A-list travelers” flying on one of the legacy carriers. In 2016, Hud son’s group unsuccessfully petitioned the Department of Transportation to formalize the “reciprocity rule,” which has been vol untary since 1978.

A few weeks ago, none of the major airlines guaranteed that they would cover meals or hotels when they were respon sible for cancellations or significant delays, Jean-Pierre said. Now, eight cover hotels and nine cover meals. In a background briefing Wednesday, senior administration officials said no airline had offered com plimentary ground transportation to and from a hotel for passengers stuck overnight. Faced with the dashboard, which unearths airline policies previously hidden in ob scure PDFs, seven committed to doing so, they said, and many also altered their poli

But nearly 40 state attorneys gen eral don’t think so. Just as Department of Transportation officials were giving a press briefing on their recent successes getting the airlines to change, the attorneys gen eral published a letter arguing that the De partment of Transportation’s approach is so weak that it should be stripped of its ability to regulate aviation. State attorneys gen eral — and perhaps another federal agency — should be given that role instead, they wrote.In a follow-up email, New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella, who was among those who signed the letter, offered his review of the interactive dashboard. “Will the new dashboard give paying air customers a timeline of when the Transpor tation Secretary and his colleagues will start to enforce the law and provide them some basic consumer protections?” he wrote.

Depends whom you ask. According to the White House, the Department of Transportation and some consumer advo cates, a lot has changed.

Pete Buttigieg is trying to fix air travel with a ‘dashboard.’ What’s on it?

A barista working at the Starbucks inside the Target was too. The espresso machine had broken down and she was clearly stressed. Alexander — who had stopped crying and gone inside for some caffeine — smiled, ordered an iced green tea, and told her to hang in there. After picking up her or der, she noticed a message on the cup: “Erin,” the barista had scrawled next to a heart, “your soul is golden.”

“I have found that kindness can be a really hard sell,” said Tara Cousineau, a clinical psychologist, meditation teach er and author of “The Kindness Cure: How The Science of Compassion Can Heal Your Heart and Your World.” “People desire kindness yet often feel inconvenienced by the thought of beingAnkind.”actof kindness is unlikely to backfire, she said, and in some instances, it can beget even more kindness. Jennifer Oldham, 36, who lost her 9-year-old daughter, Hallie, in July after a tree fell on the car she was in during a storm, recent ly created a Facebook group — Keeping Kindness for Hallie — that encourages participants to engage in random acts of kindness. People have bought groceries and baby formula for others in Hallie’s honor. They’ve donated school supplies and given hydrangeas to strangers.

In that experiment — and across all others — the people doing the kind thing consistently underestimated how much it was actually appreciated, said one of the study’s authors, Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing and psychology at the University of Texas at Austin.

Another experiment in the study was devised to help researchers better understand this tendency to underestimate the power of our own kind acts. In it, Kumar and his team re cruited 200 participants in Maggie Daley Park. A control group of 50 participants received a cupcake simply for participating in the study and rated their mood. Another 50 people who did not receive a cupcake rated how they thought the receivers would feel after getting a cupcake.

“We believe these miscalibrated expectations matter for behavior,” he said. “Not knowing one’s positive impact can stand in the way of people engaging in these sorts of acts of kindness in daily life.”

“No small act goes unnoticed,” Oldham said. “It will help your own heart, maybe even more than the recipients.”

haviors is as positive as it is,” said Marisa Franco, a psycholo gist and author of “Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make — and Keep — Friends,” who did not work on the recent research.

Underestimating the power of small gestures

New findings, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in August, corroborate just how powerful expe riences such as Alexander’s can be. Researchers found that people who perform a random act of kindness tend to under estimate how much the recipient will appreciate it. And they believe that miscalculation could hold many of us back from doing nice things for others more often.

“We have this negativity bias when it comes to social connection. We just don’t think the positive impact of our be

“It’s not about you being like, ‘Oh, man, now I have to learn how to bake cookies in order to be nice,’” she said. “It’s about: What skills and talents do you already have? And how can you turn that into an offering for other people?”

A third group of 50 people were told they could give a cupcake away to strangers, and were asked to rate their own mood as well as how they believed the recipients would feel. Once again, the researchers found that those who got a cup cake as a result of a random act of kindness felt better than the person on the giving end thought they would.

How to show others you care

By CATHERINE PEARSON

late August, Erin Alexander, 57, sat in the parking lot of a Target store in Fairfield, California, and wept. Her sister-inlaw had recently died, and Alexander was having a hard day.

“I’m not sure I even necessarily know what ‘your soul is golden’ means,” said Alexander, who laughed and cried while recalling the incident.

In another, researchers recruited 84 participants on two cold weekends at the ice skating rink at Maggie Daley Park in Chicago. They were given a hot chocolate from the snack kiosk and were told they could keep it or give it to a stranger as a deliberate act of kindness. The 75 participants who gave away their hot chocolate were asked to guess how “big” the act of kindness would feel to the recipient on a scale from 0 (very small) to 10 (very large), and to predict how the recipient would rate their mood (ranging from much more negative than normal to much more positive than normal) upon receiving the drink. The recipients were then asked to report how they actually felt using the same scales.

But the warmth of that small and unexpected gesture, from a stranger who had no inkling of what she was going through, moved her deeply.

Also, people who got a cupcake because of an act of kindness rated themselves higher on a happiness scale than those who got one simply for participating in the study, sug gesting they got an emotional boost from the gesture, in addi tion to the cupcake itself.

The notion that kindness can boost well-being is hardly new. Studies have shown that pro-social behavior — basically, voluntarily helping others — can help lower people’s daily stress levels, and that simple acts of connection, such as tex ting a friend, mean more than many of us realize. But research ers who study kindness and friendship say they hope the new findings strengthen the scientific case for making these types of gestures more often.

If you are not already in the habit of performing random kind acts — or if it does not come naturally to you — Franco said to start by thinking about what you like to do.

The recent study comprised eight small experiments that varied in design and participants. In one, for example, gradu ate students were asked to perform thoughtful acts of their own choosing, such as giving a classmate a ride home from cam pus, baking cookies or buying someone a cup of coffee.

The unexpected power of random acts of kindness

“Of course, I was still really sad,” Alexander said. “But that little thing made the rest of my day.”

“With a study like this, I hope it will inspire more people to actually commit random acts of kindness,” she said.

“For sure, Roland Garros I always feel like I have more control, and I feel like Philippe Cha trier is kind of my place,” she said of the center court in Paris. “Here on Ashe, I still need to fig ure out the atmosphere. I wasn’t sure before the match if this is actually my place.”

After winning the French Open by surprise in 2020 and then solidifying her spot in the Top 10, Swiatek has taken flight in earnest in 2022, reeling off 37 straight victories earlier this season, often by lopsided Grafian margins, and winning a second

There is no doubt that she found her stride in 2022 in a void: rising to the top after the shock exit of Ashleigh Barty, the Australian star who was a firmly entrenched No. 1 when she an nounced that she was retiring from the game in March at age 25.

With three majors, she is now closing in on Naomi Osaka, the Japanese star and former No. 1 who has won two U.S. Opens and two Australian Opens, as the most accomplished ma jor champion of their generation.

Iga Swiatek, who won the French Open earlier this year, beat Ons Jabeur in straight sets to win her first U.S. Open women’s singles title.

By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY

— Big-match mental strength, which has allowed her to find and maintain her focus under duress with the help of her longtime performance psychologist and friend, Daria Abramowicz. She is now 10-1 in tour-level singles finals.

The sky should include Wimbledon. Al though Swiatek has yet to get past the fourth round on the grass at the All England Club, she did win the junior title there in 2018 and has the tool set and improvisational athleticism to win the main event there down the road.

Osaka has played little since then and struggled with injuries and her timing when she did play. She is ranked No. 44, and yet she re mains by far the most globally prominent young women’s tennis star: the highest-earning female athlete, capable of launching her own manage ment company with her agent Stuart Duguid and signing up other players such as Nick Kyrgios.

Indian Wells. Miami. Stuttgart. Rome.

But Swiatek, who is three years younger than the 24-year-old Osaka, already has one significant performance edge. While Osaka has never won a tour-level title on clay or grass, Swi atek is a multisurface threat. Of her seven titles this season, three have come on her long-favored red clay, but four have come on hardcourts like those used at the U.S. Open.

Swiatek vs. Osaka, or Swiatek vs. Ja beur, or Swiatek vs. Coco Gauff all sound like fine ideas for the future. Despite rumors to the contrary, women’s tennis does indeed have a dominant player, one with a long-term plan to stay there. Now it needs other women to rise up consistently to challenge her.

Swiatek will have 10,365 points to Ja beur’s 5,090: the kind of clear separation that great players such as Williams or Steffi Graf have created in the past. And the last woman to win seven or more singles titles in a season was Wil liams in

“Society,Russia.we don’t have a long memory, but, I mean, lives are at stake so I think we should remind people,” she told me at Wimbledon, which barred players from Russia and its ally Be larus.

“I wasn’t sure if I was on the level yet to win actually a Grand Slam, especially on U.S. Open where the surface is so fast,” she said of hardcourts. “It’s something that I wasn’t expect ing, for sure. It’s also like a confirmation for me that sky is the limit.”

Evenhand.during Williams’ quarter century at or near the top, the women’s game often lacked a transcendent rivalry. There has been nothing quite like Graf vs. Monica Seles; certainly noth ing like Chris Evert vs. Martina Navratilova, who was in sold-out Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday to present the women’s trophy to Swiatek.

But it is her tennis that has spoken the most loudly and eloquently in 2022, and while she swept through the draw to win the French Open, she had to play through stormy weather in New York — coming back to defeat Jule Niemeier and Aryna Sabalenka in three sets — before securing the trophy under clear skies.

That package of skills, both innate and acquired, has created a genuine champion, and what should be genuinely scary to the opposition is that she can still improve her serve, transition game and volleys by big margins.

Her high profile is based on achievement to be certain but also on geography, represent ing a major market such as Japan while based in another major market, the United States. She also has been bold and outspoken on social-justice issues and her own mental-health challenges, positioning herself as one of the voices of an en gaged Itgeneration.willbeintriguing to see if Swiatek, al ready a superstar in her home nation of Poland, can break out globally, as well.

Although she said in an interview in May in Paris that she was still trying to sort through

It was another big blow to the women’s game, which has seen too many stars leave too soon, and Swiatek has expressed regret that she will no longer have the chance to test her power tennis against Barty’s more varied skills. Jabeur has Bartyesque versatility but lacks the Austra lian’s formidable serve and cannot generate quite the same forceful topspin with her forehand or wicked sidespin when she hits her backhand with one

come are favorable in Denver, where Wilson will finally play in a high-volume passing game helmed by an offense-minded head coach in Nathaniel Hackett. As they were early in his career in Seattle, Wilson’s efforts should be balanced by a strong defense. It’s all being financed by the Broncos’ new ownership group, the NFL’s wealthiest, which this month awarded him a five-year contract extension worth a guaranteed $165 million.

Since the trade, Wilson has not elaborated on either the good or the bad in his time there — the games won and lost, the relationships fostered and frayed, the semantics cloaking his departure. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, known for preaching mindfulness and visualization techniques, would say only that the team hadn’t been “spurned” by Wilson.

To that end, Wilson employs a private performance team — personal trainers, physical therapists, masseuses, et al. — to optimize his physical and mental health. His longtime personal quarterbacks coach, Jake Heaps, even relocated to the Denver area from Seattle.

“It wasn’t like it happened to us,” Carroll said in an interview after a mid-August practice. “We were prepared to make it happen.”

It was Moawad who had instilled in Wilson the power of what he called neutral thinking, acknowledging negativity but then moving on from it at once, which he appeared to apply to his friend’s death.

Wilson high-fived legions of new admirers thronging behind the end zones. He approached first-day drills as if they were postseason plays, barking cadences to his new teammates, evading rushers, tossing touchdowns. When he was done, after snapping selfies and signing autographs, he hustled over to embrace his wife, the singer Ciara, and their three children at midfield. All five wore Wilson’s No. 3 Broncos jersey.

Wilson’s happy intensity has spread urgency to a roster unacquainted with it. In huddles, Wilson asks to see his teammates’ eyes so he can look directly into them, and at his urging, they now carry water jugs and test their hydration levels before practice. Twice during the offseason, Wilson invited members of the offense to train at his property in San Diego.“This dude wants us sweating,” fourthyear offensive lineman Dalton Risner said. “He wants us taking the right steps. He wants us doing everything right. He lives out that championship lifestyle.”

But Wilson broke a finger midway through the season and missed the three games, the first in his NFL career, leaving him with less direct control on the team’s success. He spent “19 or 20” hours a day rehabbing and rushed back to the field to win his final two starts, but he still wound up with the first losing season of his NFL career.

Good Vibes Only aesthetic he conveys, all Bible verses and maxims, coupled with his arching deep passes and creative playmaking style, elevated him to football stardom in Seattle, where his charmed run over a decade included four division titles, two NFC crowns and a Super Bowl victory.

The conditions for manifesting that out-

ts.The

first training-camp practice as the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos offered a sun-drenched af firmation of Wilson’s approach. Springing from the team’s headquarters in Englewood, Colorado and onto the practice field that July morning, he bounded, over the next two or so hours, from One Most Important Thing to the next.

Wilson waived his no-trade clause to facilitate his arrival in Denver. The Broncos had presented the best opportunity for professional and personal satisfaction (offensive scheme, management, geography), as well as compensation that would appeal to the Seahawks.“I

“No, it wasn’t dif ﬁcult,” Wilson said. “I’ve lost my dad. I lost a best friend, Trevor. You know they’re going to a better place. Those memories live in me forever.” He added: “Everybody can write what they want. I’m always having fun when I’m on the ﬁeld, when I’m with my teammates.”

The Broncos will be good because Russell Wilson said so.

“I wasn’t just going to go anywhere,” Russell Wilson said of his trade to the Denver Broncos in March. “I felt like this team can be great.”

wasn’t just going to go anywhere,” said Wilson, who was traded to the Broncos in March in a package that netted the Seahawks ﬁve draft picks and three additional players. “I felt like this team can be great.”

Soon after the deal, Wilson FaceTimed his new receivers and said he picked the Broncos — that he picked them — for a reason: He thought they could win the Super Bowl. Then Wilson added: That is what they are going to do.

Not anymore.“Theyask me, ‘How many days off do you have?’ I just kind of laugh,” Wilson said after a mid-August practice. “How many days off do I get? I don’t take days off. Every day, 365 days, this is what I do, this is my lifestyle. Every day. For me, I get to play 20-plus years, that’s the vision, that’s the goal.” He added: “If you always worry about what’s ahead, you always pass up today. So, you know what I stick to? I stick to joy. Just joy.”

Wilson does believe in intentionality, in the power of deliberate language. No one in the NFL peddles positivity quite like the 33-year-old Wilson, who ampliﬁes the merry snapshots of his #blessed life on social media: football highlights, glimpses from his visits with sick children in hospitals, Christmas-card worthy photos of his family in coordinated out ﬁ

Before Wilson came to Denver, Risner perceived walk-through practices as a respite, a time, he said, to put on a ball cap and chill.

It seemed telling that two men known for expounding on the power of positivity ended a successful era with such terse, and nebulous,Athletes’statements.challenges — injuries, personal tragedies, professional slights — tend to connect with fans as much as their triumphs. Wilson’s penchant for platitudes can obscure exactly how much adversity has shaped him, with the challenge seemingly revealed in his tears after a big win. The death of his father,

“It drives purpose, and our purpose is to win,” said Will O’Brien, Wilson’s former high school strength trainer in Richmond, Virginia, and a member of the group for the past year and a half. “I think a lot of folks maybe are not brash about saying it openly. We are. Russ is.”

His quest renews tonight (8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN) when the Broncos open the season against — coincidence of coincidences — the Seahawks in Seattle.

Wilson does not believe in balance. That word suggests that he in any way conserves energy, parceling it out among football and family, his fans and his business ventures, instead of investing every neuron of his being into whatever he is doing in the Hismoment.

But by last season, life in Seattle seemed less perfect, enough that Wilson’s polished messaging shifted in a media blitz before the 2021 season. He asked for more say in personnel. He sought better protection upfront. He wanted more control.

Winning is central to the Wilson brand. The TVs in the weight area of his San Diego home blare just one word, without punctuation: win, which also happens to be the name of his youngest son.

The trade wasn’t the only upheaval to Wilson’s life. Trevor Moawad, Wilson’s close friend and architect of his mental approach, died of cancer last September. They had met as Wilson prepared for the 2012 draft, and Moawad moved into Wilson’s San Diego place the day after that Super Bowl interception and stayed for a month. Throughout their friendship, Wilson could depend on Moawad to say two things: that he believed in Wilson and that the best was ahead.

Q: Your win in Munich came just days after terrorists stormed the Olympic Village and ultimately killed 11 Israeli athletes and one German police of ﬁcer. How did that affect your Olympic experience?

The idea at the time was you win the Olympics, you sign with William Morris, do some ads and then retire. We were expected to go on and do something with the rest of our lives. I decided I wanted to run in another Olympics. I ﬁnished law school and then used running to make a living.

Bill Rodgers, someone I had run against in college, watched me run in 1972 and supposedly took one last puff on his cigarette, and said, “I can do that.” Then people started the running groups and then the women really took over. I was a part of it.

Q: When did it all sink in?

By MATTHEW FUTTERMAN

A: I was a piece in the puzzle. I wanted to show we could be distance runners. Americans were not considered endurance people. But you also had Ken Cooper who had published the book “Aerobics.” Jim Fixx wrote a great book. I was an early supporter of Cooper.

At 74, Shorter is still ﬁt and still running, and after years of living in the running haven of Boulder, Colorado, he has settled in another running city, Falmouth, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, home of the famed Falmouth Road IRace.caught up with Shorter by phone earlier this week. He was huf ﬁng as he talked and walked (strenuously, clearly) through one of the Cape’s picturesque salt marshes, remembering that bittersweet day a half-century ago. This conversation has been condensed and lightly edited for length and clarity.

Q: Do you still run?

Frank Shorter during the men’s marathon at the 1972 Summer Olympics.

A: Oh, yeah. I’m just walking today, but yesterday I ran, 4 or 5 miles. I jog-walk sometimes. I spin on the bike. I do a lot of core work and weight training. I probably spend more time working out now than I did before the Olympics. I train about two hours a day now. Back then, it didn’t take me very long to run 20 miles. There are just certain people who love a certain kind of motion or sport and need to do it for a certain amount of time every day.

people who favor clean and simple marks for the start of something new, America’s “running boom” began 50 years ago Saturday, on Sept. 10, 1972, when Frank Shorter, a Yale graduate and law student at the University of Florida, won the marathon at the Munich Olympics.Thelegend is that America was so taken with Shorter’s triumph that it collectively stubbed out its cigarettes, traded Budweisers for Nikes and took to the streets in a jogging craze. Needless, to say, that’s not exactly what happened, but Shorter’s triumph, the ﬁrst since 1908 by an American in the Olympic marathon, remains a signature moment in distance running in the United States.

Q: Did you think you had a chance to win the marathon?

A: It took a while after. It was crazy for me even before the terrorist attack, just being there and walking around the village.

The San Juan Daily StarMonday, September 12, 202236

A: I’d take a class ﬁrst period, go to the track, run 9 miles, showered, was three minutes late for my next class, and then I ran again in the afternoon. With just three to four hours between workouts, I think that helped me learn how to recover during long races.

A: I was ready and I had a strategy and focused on the strategy, to surge earlier in the race than people might expect, at 9 miles, and get a lead because there were so many turns that once you got 200 meters ahead, you were out of sight. I ran a 4:33 mile at that point, I think.

At 20 miles, a coach told me I had a 90-second lead. I did the math. If I run 5-minute miles, someone would have to average 4:48 to have a chance to catch me.

For

Q: Where did you get the conﬁdence that you could surge so early and hang on?

A: I was rooming with Dave Wottle, and we ﬁgured out how to sneak his wife into the Olympic Village, so I gave them the room and was sleeping on a mattress on the balcony. I heard the shots. It was 4 a.m. I woke up and I thought, “That is not a door slamming.” From my balcony, we saw the guy in the hood. We could see the Israeli balcony from ours.

We were so naive. They could have sprayed us with bullets at any moment. After they killed the athletes, we thought we were going home. The marathon got delayed a day. I told Kenny Moore, who ended up coming in fourth, that I was not going to think about terrorists as I ran because if I did that, then they win. The whole time I didn’t think about it. Not even that day, or at the awards ceremony. My feeling was that you should focus on that over which you have some control.

Q: So did you start the running boom?

Q: Do you think of winning the gold medal at the Olympics every day? I know I would.

How a marathon win 50 years ago kick-started the ‘running boom’

A: Not every day. I kept going after Munich. I decided I would try to earn my living not necessarily by doing the sport, because there were rules about amateurism in those days, but by being as close to it as possible. I started

ancillary businesses and helped open up the sport to prize money and then did all my work with the United States Anti-Doping Agency.

A: Oh, no. I actually started out in medical school and dropped out when I realized I had a chance to make the Olympic team. The dean would not let me change my course load so I could get some sleep to train. I moved to Florida to train with Jack Bacheler, who was the best at the time, and I realized that in college, running was my stress relief, it was my reward if I got stuff done. In Florida, I realized I could not just train, so I decided to go to law school. Law school actually became the relief from working out and running. It was a paradigm shift. I ran 20 miles a day and went to law school.

Q: I think you are the ﬁrst person to describe law school as a stress relief.

Q: Did you ever practice law?

A: I was good at surging. I could go through the 5-kilometer mark of a 10-kilometer race with a good lead. I won the Fukuoka Marathon in Japan in 1971 surging at 15 miles. I did interval training that simulated surging. I was self-coached. I worked on my strengths.

The inﬂuence of yesterday’s Full Moon may still be felt today, and the Sun and edgy Uranus will linger on for a day or so. You might feel like you’re riding on a wave of blessings, as opportunities appear out of the blue that could improve your ﬁnancial situation. Despite Mercury’s rewind phase, it’s a good time to make a start on any income-increasing projects.

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Aries (Mar 21-April 20)

While it helps to know the ins and outs of your ﬁnancial situation, masterminding every detail could be exhausting. A budget, plus a little leeway, can help keep things under control while still allowing you to enjoy a few treats. And the Sun’s tie with Uranus might ﬁre up your natural ambition? What do you want to accomplish? Being a bit of a rebel may see you striding ahead.

With the Moon in Aries aligning with jubilant Jupiter, it’s time to set your creative talents free. Have a desire to make something? Channel your imaginative side into an item you can use or wear. There’s also a sizzling Sun/Uranus link at work, that could coincide with a fascinating conversation. Something someone says may be the very thing you desperately need to know.

Does someone need cheering up? You may be the one for the job, as today’s lively Moon/Jupiter merger could inspire you to sit down with them and have a word. If you’ve had experience of what they’re going through, your advice might be the breakthrough they need. Have a plan? Get a friend on board, as their contribution suggests you’ll make a great team.

A desire to get closer to someone, could mean you ignore any gut feelings that tell you this isn’t likely to last. With the Sun linking with ﬂighty Uranus, you can ﬁnd them a breath of fresh air. Much as knowing them might be good for a while, in the end this may be just a temporary arrangement, and could fade away. Still, you’ll learn something that you won’t forget, Libra.

Yesterday’s potent lunar phase will still be working its magic. Only this time, unexpected happenings could inﬂuence events. A dazzling Sun/Uranus link can bring insights into a matter that has puzzled you for some time. It may be something to do with a missing item or a family mystery from long ago. Whatever emerges today might leave you surprised and thankful, Gemini.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

This can be a time of new changes, that could impact your life in many ways. Yet you might have a real loyalty to beliefs or a cause that prevents you from making the most of what is on offer. What would happen if you let go of something that isn’t working out for you? It may be the opening you need to get moving on another project, that could change your life profoundly.

Pisces (Feb 20-Mar 20)

You may feel a great sense of purpose, and this can get things off to a positive and productive start. But don’t make more work for yourself than is necessary. Keep it simple for now. It’s not all about work though, as a sparkling Sun/Uranus tie might ﬁnd you connecting with someone or something that inspires you Virgo, and pushes you out of your comfort zone in a delightful way.

Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Have a need for new experiences and opportunities that will encourage growth and learning? Current inﬂuences reveal you’ll be ready for a challenge that could be testing, but enjoyable. Today’s lively Moon/ Jupiter link can inspire you to trust your feelings, if they tell you the time is ripe. Don’t delay Cancer, as what you stand to gain may be priceless and so very worthwhile.

Virgo (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22)

The Sun’s positive angle with energising Uranus in your sign can lift your spirits, as you’ll be eager to take on board new ideas that ﬁll you with enthusiasm. Could this be a day when a romantic attraction takes off? It’s very possible Taurus, especially if you’ve admired someone from afar. An accident of fate might bring you together in the most unlikely place. Be ready!

Cancer (June 22-July 23)

Yesterday’s Full Moon in your leisure sector means you’ll be tapping into your creative side, and enjoying the chance to indulge a hobby or learn an artistic skill. It’s also possible that a romantic bond can step up a notch, which might lead to a deepening of a relationship. Want to break the ice regarding a love interest? A zesty tie could ﬁnd you taking an unusual but effective approach.

Leo (July 24-Aug 23)

If you’ve been thinking about making improvements to your home, then the coming two weeks can see you putting energy into enhancing the atmosphere by decluttering, decorating and other similar tasks. You might also be encouraged by a chance to get involved in something new and interesting related to your job or a personal goal. This opportunity could be a game-changer.
