Data Intelligence System introduced for greater gov’t efficiency
By THE STAR STAFF
As part of the island government’s program to improve oversight and accountability, Gov. Jenniffer González Colón and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Orlando Rivera Berríos on Wednesday presented to government officials the Data Intelligence System (DIS), a new unified platform that is expected to mark a turning point in the way government agencies access, analyze and use information in real time.
The platform also addresses the Financial Oversight and Management Board’s observations over the past four years that a centralized budget process across agencies is lacking, that there are data inconsistencies, and that financial systems hinder fund monitoring and increase financial risks, the officials said.
DIS, González Colón noted, represents a historic step in strengthening public management as a tool that transforms the way government decisions are made. It will help each agency head and his or her financial team visualize the agency’s budget execution, identify whether or not they have the funds, access the updated list of human resources, and monitor expenses and payments to suppliers and contractors, all in real time and much faster than today, she said.
The governor delegated to the OMB the task of creating a platform that would store all government data digitally, with information at the time the agencies are integrated. The purpose is to contribute to government efficiency and also allow for compliance with the submission of financial statements required by the oversight board in order to accelerate the completion of the federal entity’s duties in Puerto Rico, she said. The goal is for all agencies to migrate to the digital platform by 2028.
Gov. Jenniffer González Colón said the new Data Intelligence System “places Puerto Rico at the forefront of government digital transformation, ensuring that critical information is accessible to those who make strategic decisions for the well-being of the island.” (Facebook via Jenniffer González Colón)
at the center of our management,” he said. “We are a government that believes in purposeful innovation and transformation.”
Under Executive Order 2025-011, the governor created the Interagency Committee for Responsible Budgeting and Fiscal Sustainability in Puerto Rico, composed of the OMB director, who chairs the committee, the executive director of the Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (AAFAF by its initials in Spanish, the Treasury secretary, the Labor and Human Resources secretary, and the Planning Board chairman.
This committee, among other things, will be charged with preparing responsible budgets that comply with the parameters set by the oversight board and developing strategies to improve budget planning and execution.
“This new ecosystem places Puerto Rico at the forefront of government digital transformation, ensuring that critical information is accessible to those who make strategic decisions for the well-being of the island,” González Colón said. “This platform fulfills our programmatic commitment to govern more efficiently and, certainly, with greater transparency, avoiding significant duplication in spending. Therefore, this is a tool for transparency and accounting efficiency, and for preventing corruption and saving much more money.”
Rivera Berríos added that the DIS “is not just a technological tool; it is a commitment to transparency, efficiency, and evidence-based decision-making.”
“It is a structural change that places data intelligence
The OMB director noted that the main challenge is that too much time is spent collecting data and too little analyzing it. “The Treasury has some information, AAFAF has other information, and we at the OMB received some information on current spending from agencies,” Rivera Berríos said. “The reality is that this is the first time that the Treasury and we at the OMB are speaking the same language. We will have current spending recorded in accounting systems -- PRIFAS, for example [referring to the Puerto Rico Integrated Financial Accounting System] -- and will compare it with the Certified Budget … in a single repository. We will be able to generate reports in real time, which improves spending monitoring and budget execution.”
At state legislators convention in Boston, Álvarez Conde stresses importance of female participation in politics
By THE STAR STAFF
Popular Democratic Party (PDP) at-large Sen. Ada Álvarez Conde participated this week in the United States Conference of State Legislators Convention in Boston, where she emphasized the importance of female participation in the political process.
“Here in the United States, as around the world, women politicians are making history,” the senator said. “For example, this is the first time a woman has been elected governor of the state of Massachusetts, Maura Healy, and it’s the third time a woman has been elected president of the Senate, Karen Spilka. In these meetings I’ve had and with people I’ve met, I mentioned that I am the only woman to run at-large for the PDP and that I was president of the party’s women’s organization. All of these experiences have led to legislation focused on
many issues affecting Puerto Rican families.”
Regarding her trip to Boston for the meeting, Álvarez Conde noted that “I am a senator at all times. If I am anywhere working for Puerto Rico, I will say so, report on it, and be accountable.”
“If there are people doing other things, let them handle it,” she said. “It’s worse to deny it or lie to them. This week, in particular, there is news about the expulsion of board members, the arrival of new ones, and the restructuring of PREPA’s debt. These are important issues, both national and federal.”
Also a leader of the “Peace Promoters,” a group that works on preventing dating violence, Álvarez Conde was emphatic that her focus is not on working for the next elections but rather for future generations. During her seven months in the Senate, she has introduced measures to address various needs, from food waste prevention to the definition of the maritime
terrestrial zone, climate change, and the regulation of the sale of domestic animals, among many others.
Amended complaint filed over young woman’s 2022 death in Corrections custody
By THE STAR STAFF
The family of Shannel Colón Ponce has filed a second amended civil complaint in the Bayamón Court of First Instance over her death on June 2, 2022 while in the custody of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (DCR by its initials in Spanish).
The complaint, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Puerto Rico and attorneys José Rodríguez and Wanda Valentín, includes nine new defendants in their official and personal capacities and reiterates that the young woman’s death was the result of gross negligence, medical malpractice and rights violations.
“Shannel’s death was the result of gross negligence, abuse, and violation of rights, beyond the alleged act of suicide,” said attorney Fermín Arraiza Navas, legal director
of the ACLU of Puerto Rico, in a written statement.
According to the court document, authorities at the Women’s Rehabilitation Center in Bayamón knew since May 6, 2022, that Shannel was suicidal, but placed her in a punishment area without continuous surveillance instead of a suicide prevention zone. The 23-year-old died less than a month later.
The legal complaint maintains that, although the cause of death was ruled suicide, there is testimony from other inmates that points to mistreatment and possible assaults. Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges that the DCR failed to fulfill its duty of protection, despite a prior order for psychological and psychiatric treatment issued in April 2022.
It also alleges that on the day of the events, there were no security personnel assigned to
the area where Shannel was found, which contradicts the institution’s own established protocols. The family claims this was a systematic failure on the part of DCR staff and the contracted medical provider, Physician Correctional.
The lawsuit includes causes of action under the Civil Code of 2020, Puerto Rico Act 104, and the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1871. It also alleges that high-ranking officials, such as then-DCR Secretary Ana Escobar Pabón and then-Police Commissioner Antonio López Figueroa, knew or should have known about the young woman’s medical condition and the lack of training of the personnel under their command.
The case continues its judicial course while the family demands justice and accountability for the young woman’s death.
Morovis moves to resolve yearslong water crisis
By THE STAR STAFF
Morovis Mayor Carmen Maldonado González met on Wednesday with Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) Executive President Luis González Delgado, along with his technical and infrastructure team, to discuss definitive solutions to the water crisis that has plagued the town for years.
During the meeting, the findings and recommendations of the engineers hired by the central mountain municipality were reviewed, as well as the projects identified by PRASA to address the areas of greatest need.
At the meeting, numerous alternatives were evaluated, many of them highly viable, and it was agreed that PRASA will submit an executive summary of the infrastructure projects that are close to beginning, as well as those whose design is in an advanced stage. Those projects include permanent improvements, with a multi-million-dollar investment already identified by the executive branch, which will be developed in the short, medium and long term.
In the initial phase, the work will include the replacement of pipes and valves in critical areas.
“I appreciate the willingness of the PRASA president to visit our town and listen firsthand to the needs of our
people,” the mayor said. “This meeting confirms that when we join forces, as we have done with the governor, the results translate into concrete actions for the benefit of all Moroveños.”
Maldonado González also acknowledged the support of Gov. Jenniffer González Colón for “making available the necessary resources to address this historic problem” and announced that a public announcement will be made in the coming weeks regarding the construction schedule. “This has been a constant struggle since 2017,” the mayor added. “Today we can say that we are closer than ever to ending this crisis.”

La Fortaleza: Show must go on with downsized fiscal board
By THE STAR STAFF
La Fortaleza Chief of Staff Francisco Domenech said Wednesday that regular meetings with the remaining two members of the Financial Oversight and Management Board, as well as the board’s executive director, Robert Mujica, will continue in the wake of the White House’s dismissal on Tuesday of five of the oversight board’s seven members.
“As Governor Jenniffer González Colón stated, as Chief of Staff and Executive Director of the AAFAF [Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority], I will continue holding the weekly meetings and communications we have held since the beginning of the four-year term with the Executive Director of the Oversight Board (OB), Mr. Robert Mujica, as well as with the rest of the OB staff,” Domenech said in a press release. “Pending matters remain, as does the management and work plan for the upcoming issues to be addressed. Nothing has changed, which includes continuing to advance energy issues, debt restructuring of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), compliance with the Fiscal Plan, among other matters.”
The La Fortaleza chief of staff emphasized that “[a]s is often the case in private and public companies, it is a matter of continuing to work in the same way and with the same goals, with a different number of members.”
“At the same time, all this work we have done and will continue to do is aimed at ensuring that the Board ceases to operate in Puerto Rico, and that our elected leaders are ultimately the ones who make all governance decisions on our island,” Domenech added.
“Likewise, once President Donald Trump appoints the five new members of the Board, we will arrange a meeting between the Governor and this servant to establish an effective working relationship,” he said.
The senior La Fortaleza official went on to stress that as “the governor’s public policy dictates, all the people can rest assured that this situation will be handled with the commitment made from day one, always seeking the general well-being of everyone in Puerto Rico and the disappearance of this vestige of our colonial status as quickly as possible.”
As previously reported by the Star, the oversight board confirmed the dismissal of Arthur González (chairman), Cameron McKenzie, Betty Rosa, Juan Sabater and Luis Ubiñas on Tuesday, as officially notified by the White House. No naming new board members had been announced as of press time Wednesday.
Various political figures reacted later on Tuesday to the removal of five oversight board members by Trump, expressing concern about the impact of the decision on Puerto Rico’s fiscal processes and the future of debt restructuring.
“The people of Puerto Rico have persevered through blackouts, failures, and broken promises. What the Trump administration appears to be delivering is another deal behind the country’s back that puts investment funds above working families,” said U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), who serves as the minority spokesperson on the House Natural Resources Committee, in a written statement.
At the local level, Speaker of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives Carlos “Johnny” Méndez Nuñez blamed the
island territory’s colonial status for the unilateral imposition of new members on the oversight board.
“It is the most blatant example that we live under a colonial regime, where we lack the political power to make our own decisions,” Méndez said.
“The imposition of the Fiscal [sic] Oversight Board under the PROMESA [Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability] Act in 2016 exposed the lack of true autonomy,” the House leader added. “Puerto Rico does not control its finances, and many of its political decisions are subordinated to an entity imposed by Washington.”
Sen. María de Lourdes Santiago of the Puerto Rican Independence Party asserted meanwhile that “the dismissal of five members of the Fiscal Control [sic] Board does not respond to a sudden awareness of fiscal and democratic responsibility,” but rather to a struggle between sectors of investors interested in taking advantage of the bankruptcy of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority.
“The Board did not come to rescue the country,” she said. “It came to protect the financial predators who benefited for decades from the triple exemption and still want more, even at the risk of a second bankruptcy.”
In an official statement, Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Pablo José Hernández Rivera expressed his commitment to ensuring that new appointments to the board respond to the interests of the people of Puerto Rico and not the interests of those who “want to increase electricity prices to pay the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority’s debt.”
Gov. Jenniffer González Colón reacted to the decision by pointing out that President Trump exercised his power under PROMESA.
“My administration has worked and maintained direct communication since day one with the entire Board and its staff,” she said. “This work will continue with the new members to put an end to the Fiscal Board’s [sic] presence in Puerto Rico.”
The federal entity was created in 2016 under PROMESA with the purpose of restoring fiscal responsibility and access to capital markets for the Puerto Rican government.

The island Department of Justice filed 28 criminal charges on Wednesday against the Laboratorio Clínico Central II corporation in Humacao for an alleged Medicaid fraud scheme resulting in the illegal appropriation of $103,629 between January 2020 and December 2023.
“The collaboration of the public is key to identifying this type of scheme, which, in addition to generating distrust in the health system, generates a loss of funds for real services and diverts government resources that should go directly to the public,” Justice Secretary Lourdes Gómez Torres said in a written statement.
The agency indicated that the laboratory allegedly submitted fraudulent claims to the Mennonite Health Plan and First Medical plans. As part of the scheme, the identities of doctors and patients were stolen to bill for unsolicited and unauthorized services.
Judge Juan León González of the San Juan Court of First Instance found cause for arrest. The preliminary hearing will be held on Aug. 20.
According to the Justice Department, the scheme was detected through a referral from the Health Integrity Program.
The investigation was led by prosecutor Brenda Rosado Aponte, agent Rosalía Berenguer Zurita of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, and agent Fernando Vázquez Barreto of the Office of the Federal Health Inspector General.

Inside Trump’s new tactic to separate immigrant families
By HAMED ALEAZIZ
Evgeny and Evgeniia faced an excruciating choice.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers told the couple they could leave the United States with their child and return to their native Russia, which they had fled seeking political asylum. Or they could remain in immigration detention in the United States — but their 8-year-old son, Maksim, would be taken away and sent to a shelter for unaccompanied children.
In the end, the couple, who asked to be identified only by their first names out of fear for their family back in Russia, chose the agony of limbo in the United States over a return to a place where they saw no prospect for freedom or any future for their family.
“Interior separation is approved,” ICE officials concluded in writing. The last time Evgeny and Evgeniia saw Maksim was May 15, in a room at Kennedy International Airport in New York City, as ICE agents led them back to detention in New Jersey.
“A few days, right?” Maksim begged his parents that day. “A few days?”

(Adriana Zehbrauskas/The New York Times)
Their case is an example of a little-known tactic the Trump administration is using to pressure immigrants lacking permanent legal status to leave the United States. Officials have begun separating children from their families in small numbers across the country, in what appears to be a more targeted version of one of the most explosive policies of President Donald Trump’s first term.
The New York Times has uncovered at least nine cases in which parents have been separated from their children after they refused to comply with deportation orders, according to internal government documents, case files and interviews.
The practice is not as widespread as the “zero tolerance” policy of Trump’s first term, when thousands of children were systematically taken from their parents as they crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and sent to shelters and foster homes.
But the new cases suggest that the administration has decided to use family separation as a tool, at least in some instances, to persuade families to leave and to create a powerful deterrent for those who might come to the United States illegally.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, insisted that “ICE does not separate families” and placed the onus on the families themselves, saying the parents have the option of staying with their children by leaving the country together.
“The parents had the right and the ability to depart the country as a family and willfully choose to not comply,” she said. She denied that there was any new policy on family separations.
Previous administrations separated families living in the country illegally for reasons including national security concerns, public safety and child endangerment. But Claire Trickler-McNulty, a former ICE official who has served in Republican and Democratic administrations, said that previous administrations, to her knowledge, did not use the threat of
family separation as leverage to get people to leave the country. Instead, she said, past administrations typically would have released such families into the United States with ankle monitors to track them as they awaited court dates, a practice that has contributed to enormous backlogs in the immigration system.
The notion of choice touches on a key difference between the separations from the first Trump administration and now.
During Trump’s first term, immigration agents would separate families at the southern border as they crossed into the United States. Adults were criminally charged with illegally entering the country and imprisoned, while their children were taken away.
The family separation policy was enormously divisive. Wrenching images of children being pried from the arms of their parents stirred global outrage, but administration officials argued privately that was the whole point — the policy was meant to deter people.
Trump ultimately relented to pressure and ended the policy in 2018. The Biden administration later agreed to a settlement that blocked family separations at the border, with some exceptions, including if children were in danger.
Now, with illegal crossings notably low, the Trump administration is focusing on immigrants who are in the United States and have been ordered to leave.
The Trump administration insists that it is simply enforcing the law. Trump has made aggressive enforcement a key part of his deportation campaign and says the American people elected him in part to get tough on immigration.
“To be clear, refusing a judge’s deportation order is a crime,” McLaughlin said. “If law enforcement pulled an American citizen over with kids in the back seat and they chose to not comply with lawful orders, the parents would be arrested, and the children would be placed in safe custody.”
Still, deporting families has always been a struggle for
presidential administrations. Children, for the most part, cannot by law remain in federal custody for more than three weeks. That means officials are under pressure to deport families quickly, or the United States would have to spend money and resources to track them.
At that point, the deportation challenge only grows. ICE agents would have the difficult task of arresting people with established ties to communities, who had been working or going to school and building lives in the United States.
Evgeniia, speaking through an interpreter from ICE detention, said her family traveled to the Mexican border in hopes of getting an appointment under a Biden-era program that allowed people to enter the United States at a port of entry after registering with a government app. Trump canceled that program Jan. 20, so she and her husband decided that driving to a port of entry and asking for asylum was the only way to reach safety. They were immediately put into detention.
The American Civil Liberties Union is investigating the legality of the separations, said Lee Gelernt, a lawyer for the group.
McLaughlin said immigrants were taking advantage of the system and in some cases creating a public disturbance.
“We have seen recently illegal alien families have started to use a tactic where they refuse to board a commercial flight, often lashing out and posing a threat to the safety of their own children,” she said. As a result, McLaughlin added, authorities “must ensure the children are safe and not in harm’s way until the family can soon be removed from the country.”
Regarding the case of Evgeny and Evgeniia, McLaughlin said the couple “were acting so disruptive and aggressive they endangered the child’s well-being.”
The couple denied those allegations, and there was no mention of such a disturbance in the internal case file, which was obtained by the Times. The file says that “since there is no other option to enforce the removal order in a safe manner as a family unit, interior separation is approved.”
A separate document, a referral of Maksim’s case to the agency that oversees custody of unaccompanied migrant children, said, “Subject was separated from his family on 5/15/2025 due to his parent’s refusal to board an aircraft for removal from the United States in violation of US law.”
Evgeny said he was trying to save his son from a longer separation in Russia because of what he believed to be a sure prison sentence there.
“I was explaining to them, to the officers, that our lives are in danger and our livelihood would be in danger,” he said. “And at some point, I kind of lost my bearings and started to cry.”
Evgeny and Evgeniia passed their protection screening, which means the United States has determined that they cannot be deported to Russia.
But as they wait for the next step, they remain in ICE detention. And Maksim is now in a foster home.
“It’s terrible; that’s what I can say,” Evgeniia said. “I wouldn’t wish it even to an enemy. It’s a constant grief and longing.”

EPA moves to cancel $7 billion in grants for solar energy
By MAZINE JOSELOW
The Trump administration is preparing to terminate $7 billion in federal grants intended to help low- and moderate-income families install solar panels on their homes, according to two people briefed on the matter.
The Environmental Protection Agency is drafting termination letters to the 60 state agencies, nonprofit groups and Native American tribes that received the grants under the “Solar for All” program, with the goal of sending the letters by the end of this week, according to the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.
If finalized, the move would escalate the Trump administration’s efforts to claw back billions of dollars in grants awarded under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, President Joe Biden’s signature climate law. And it would be certain to draw legal challenges from the grant recipients, many of whom have pursued projects in Republican-led states.
“If leaders in the Trump administration move forward with this unlawful attempt to strip critical funding from communities across the United States, we will see them in court,” said Kym Meyer, litigation director at the Southern Environmental Law Center, a nonprofit legal advocacy organization.
Representatives for the EPA did not initially respond to a request for comment. After this article was published, Carolyn Holran, an EPA spokesperson, said that no final decision had been made on the grants.
“EPA is working to ensure Congressional intent is fully implemented in accordance with the law,” Holran wrote in an email.
Already, the EPA has sought to cancel $20 billion out of the $27 billion in climate grants authorized by the Inflation Reduction Act. That move has prompted a drawn-out legal battle and a widening controversy involving the EPA, the Justice Department, the FBI and Citibank, where the funds are being held.
The Solar for All program was not only intended to help low- and moderate-income homeowners go solar. It was also meant to expand community solar initiatives, which bring solar power to people who don’t own their own homes or otherwise can’t install their own panels.
The program was projected to help 900,000 households access solar energy, according to estimates by the Biden administration. The idea was to reduce the use of fossil fuels, the burning of which is dangerously heating the planet, while also helping to lower electricity bills. The participating households were
expected to collectively save more than $350 million each year on utility costs.
Under the Biden administration, the EPA awarded all $7 billion that Congress had allocated to the Solar for All program. Of that money, roughly $53 million has been spent so far, according to an analysis by Atlas Public Policy, a research firm.
That means the program has only reached a small fraction of the 900,000 households it aimed to serve. Still, households that have already installed solar panels through the program are unlikely to be affected by any repeal effort, experts said.
Indigenized Energy, a nonprofit group led by Native Americans, completed the country’s first two Solar for All projects in October 2024. The group installed residential solar and battery storage systems for members of the Chippewa Cree Tribe in Box Elder, Montana, and the Oglala Sioux Tribe in Porcupine and Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
“One in 5 households on reservations lack access to electricity, and this program was an opportunity to close that gap,” said Cody Two Bears, the CEO of Indigenized Energy. “But those were just two kickoff projects to show what was coming for the next five years.”
On his first day in office, Trump issued an executive order declaring a national energy emergency. But his administration has been withdrawing federal support for renewable energy like wind and solar power while encouraging the production and use of fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal.
Michelle Moore, the CEO of Groundswell, a nonprofit group that received a roughly $156 million grant, said revoking the award would undermine Trump’s claims of an energy emergency.
“This country needs all of the electrons that it can get,” Moore said. “This country is short on power. If you want natural gas, the combined-cycle natural gas turbines are backlogged out five to seven years.”
The other grant recipients include several state agencies and nonprofit groups in Republican-led states, including the Georgia Bright Communities Coalition, the South Carolina Office of Resilience, and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
On Monday, the Georgia Bright Communities Coalition opened an initiative to provide free rooftop solar panels to about 800 Georgia households, using roughly $156 million from a Solar for All grant. The group said qualifying households that earned 80% of their area’s median income would be randomly selected in raffles for a fully prepaid solar lease that would reduce their monthly electric bills by as much as 70%.

Gaza’s hunger is a moral crisis
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD
The hunger in the Gaza Strip is an urgent moral crisis. Its 2 million people lack adequate food, and at least 16 children under 5 have died of hunger-related causes in the past couple of weeks. Israel’s often reckless administration of its war and occupation have helped create this emergency, and it has a unique power to alleviate it. It must do so.
How the situation has come to this is a matter of intense dispute, of course. It is certainly true that Hamas’ leaders could end the crisis by releasing the hostages they continue to hold and surrendering in a war they started and are losing. Yet the ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel remain stalled, with each side insisting on conditions that remain unacceptable to the other. The best solution, for Palestinians and Israelis alike, includes a return of the hostages, an end to the war and a new Gaza government. While that outcome remains out of reach, Gaza residents need to eat.
Israel bears the greatest responsibility for the lack of food because its military controls so much of Gaza, including its borders. The excuses offered by the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — that the aid organizations are incompetent and Hamas diverts the aid — are unpersuasive. Even some Israeli military officials have questioned this rationale.
The core problem instead stems from a push by far-right members of Netanyahu’s government to cut off aid from international groups. Israel did so early this year. In their place, Israel and the United States established the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and said it would handle the job. Netanyahu and his ministers claimed the switch was necessary because Hamas had corrupted the previous system by hoarding supplies for its fighters and selling aid at a profit, but that earlier system was clearly more effective than the new one.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has opera-
ted only four distribution centers for Gaza’s entire population, compared with more than 400 that the United Nations and other aid groups previously operated. Hundreds of Gaza residents have died during frantic melees at the four distribution sites, sometimes killed by gunfire from Israeli troops. The images of emaciated children and people desperately reaching out with empty bowls make clear that the new system has failed. Even President Donald Trump, normally a close ally of Netanyahu, has acknowledged as much. On Monday, the president said that there was “real starvation” in Gaza and that “we have to get the kids fed.”
If Netanyahu considered the previous aid system to present unacceptable security risks, he must create an alternative that allows people in Gaza to eat. And if he wants to prevent stolen aid from becoming a major source of Hamas revenue, he should allow food to be plentiful in Gaza and make it less of a scarce resource.
This conflict has left tens of thousands of civilians dead, turned much of Gaza to rubble, caused shortages of fuel and medicine and is now threatening to create a famine. A report from a U.N.-backed group published on Tuesday concluded that a third of Gaza residents were going days without eating. The humanitarian aid entering the strip is “barely a trickle” of what the population needs, the U.N. has said. Dr. Ahmed al-Farra, the head of the pediatric ward of a hospital in southern Gaza, recently told the Times, “There is no one in Gaza now outside the scope of famine, not even myself.”
The attention on the crisis in recent days has increased the pressure to resolve it. Israel, Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates have airdropped food into the territory. Israel’s military has paused fighting in heavily populated areas from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. to allow food convoys to reach distribution centers. Trump said he would seek to expand supplies reaching Gaza.

for humanitarian affairs, said Israel’s recent steps were welcome but far from what is required. He is correct. The world can do much more. Israel can allow far more aid organizations to enter Gaza and ensure their safety. The Trump administration can press for the return of international aid groups. Arab states can send more aid and increase pressure on Hamas to agree to a ceasefire.
Ultimately, ending the terrible suffering that the people of Gaza have endured will require a ceasefire and a peace agreement that allows a new future in which neither Hamas nor Israel runs Gaza. Until that happens, people need food.

Ozzy Osbourne died of a heart attack, death certificate shows
By ALEX MARSHALL
Ozzy Osbourne, the heavy metal and reality television star, died of a heart attack and had suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s, according to a death certificate filed at a registry in London.
The document, which was submitted by Osbourne’s daughter Aimée Osbourne, lists cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease among the causes, noting that he had Parkinson’s disease. Osbourne’s occupation is recorded as “Songwriter, Performer and Rock Legend.”
The certificate says Osbourne died of “(a) Out of hospital cardiac arrest (b) Acute myocardial infarction (c) Coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction (Joint Causes).” The New York Times obtained the document Tuesday.
On July 22, the day of Osbourne’s death, an air ambulance flew to the singer’s home near the village of Chalfont St. Giles in Buckinghamshire, England.

Air Ambulance service said in an email that its team had been “dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an inci-
dent near Chalfront St. Giles on July 22,” but gave no further details.
After stopping near the singer’s home, the ambulance flew about 8 miles southwest to Harefield Hospital, in Uxbridge, a London suburb, according to Flightradar24, a company that collates data on aircraft movements. The helicopter spent “about an hour” at the hospital with its engines running, a Flightradar24 spokesperson said.
When Osbourne’s family announced his death on July 22, they did not state a cause, although the 76-year-old singer had received treatment for numerous health problems in recent years, including a variant of Parkinson’s and spinal damage. He told a radio station in February that he could no longer walk.
Many heavy metal fans had feared this year that Osbourne was reaching the end of his life, especially after his wife, Sharon, announced in February that he would perform what the family expected to be his last concert. That performance, held July 5 at a soccer stadium in Birmingham, England, was staged just a few minutes’ walk from Osbourne’s chil-
Weird Al is enjoying his rock-star moment
By MELENA RYZIK
When Weird Al Yankovic, the country’s foremost song parodist for the past 40 years, took the stage for his first-ever Madison Square Garden show last month, his accordion got its own ovation. “Are you ready to polka?!” he shouted, and the sold-out crowd cheered as he dived into an altered medley of hits. (“Old Town Road” really shines atop an oompah beat.)
With videos and elaborate costumes, the Bigger & Weirder tour showcased his enduringly singular, lampoonery-filled pop culture stardom.
Along with his signature instrument, he played the keyboard, melodica and harmonica, and with a tight backing band — many of its members have been with him for decades — performed some of his biggest
numbers: his first single, “My Bologna,” from 1979 (to the tune of the Knack’s “My Sharona”); “Like a Surgeon” (a la Madonna’s “Like a Virgin,” but in scrubs); and “Smells Like Nirvana,” in full Kurt Cobain grunge regalia.
At 65, Weird Al still commands the stage like a natural-born rocker, with high kicks and the panache to pull off what few other artists can (including a fat suit).
During “Eat It,” a riff on Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” audience members — many in Hawaiian shirts and sporting curly locks — were on their feet. Even a seenit-all security guard danced. For “White & Nerdy,” Weird Al arrived via scooter, to the thump of Chamillionaire’s “Ridin’.” Fatherson pairs, arm-in-arm, knew every lyric.
Weird Al has sold over 12 million albums and won five Grammys: He had a No. 1 album in 2014 with “Mandatory Fun.” His career has, surprisingly, continued to surge.
Amid the jokes during his Madison Square Garden show, he took time to savor his achievements.
“Oftentimes really big moments in your life come and go so quickly that you can’t really enjoy them while you’re in them,” he said, and he paused as the arena’s house lights rose.
The tour, with a “Star Wars”-themed finale involving storm troopers and R2-D2, is Weird Al’s biggest production ever. But it’s not all pastiche: He did some original (and funny) numbers, and a cover of Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al” that showed off his tenor and rhythm.
His 2014 song “Word Crimes” — a parody of “Blurred Lines” that criticizes bad grammar (“I don’t want your drama / If you really wanna / Leave out that Oxford comma”) — is like an ethos: Get the words right! That’s joy.
dhood home.
At that concert, called “Back to the Beginning,” Osbourne performed two brief sets: one of his solo music and a second with Black Sabbath, the band he formed in 1968 with three fellow Birmingham musicians.
During those performances, Osbourne had referred to his health problems. “I’ve been laid up for six years,” he told the cheering crowd at one point. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
As Black Sabbath’s frontman, Osbourne was widely considered one of the creators of heavy metal music. Heavy metal acts like Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax have cited him as an influence.
In the 2000s, Osbourne achieved a second bout of fame as a reality TV star thanks to the MTV show “The Osbournes,” which ran from 2002 to 2005 and documented the singer and his family’s daily lives in comic fashion.
On July 30, throngs of his fans flocked to Birmingham for a funeral procession in which his coffin was carried through the city in a hearse, before a private funeral.

U.S. stocks rose on Wednesday, led by a more than 1% gain in the Nasdaq, as Apple shares climbed after news of its plans to announce a domestic manufacturing pledge, and as the latest batch of corporate reports was upbeat.
Shares of Apple were up 5.8% and provided the biggest boost to all three of the major indexes after a White House official said the company would announce a $100-billion domestic manufacturing pledge.
In addition, shares of McDonald’s were up 3.6% after the fast-food restaurant’s affordable menu drove global sales past expectations, while Arista Networks shares jumped 18% after
On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, citing New Delhi’s continued imports of Russian oil.

He said while there is uncertainty surrounding tariffs, investors appear to be upbeat about the near term.
On the Nasdaq, 2,057 stocks rose and 2,410 fell as declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.17-to-1 ratio.
Walt Disney posted better-than-expected quarterly results and raised its annual profit forecast on Wednesday, led by gains in the streaming business, which is expected to be the centerpiece of its growth strategy in coming years.
In the last 24 hours, the media and entertainment company entered two major deals with the National Football League and WWE as it readies its $29.99-per-month ESPN streaming service that will give viewers access to sporting events, including the NFL and National Basketball Association.
The entertainment giant is betting that combining its Disney+, Hulu and ESPN services into a single streaming app will fuel growth of its profitable streaming service and help offset declines in its traditional television business. The company estimates its direct-to-consumer business will generate operating income of $1.3 billion in the fiscal year that ends in September, up 30% from its original guidance.
“We’ll bundle that trio -- Disney+, Hulu and ESPN,” Disney CEO Bob Iger told investors, calling it “an opportunity to lower churn (and) increase engagement.” That bundle will also be offered at $29.99 as a one-year promotion.
Disney said its pivotal deal with the NFL, in which it will acquire the NFL Network and other media assets from the league in exchange for a 10% equity stake in Disney’s ESPN sports network, will allow the company to offer a more compelling experience for football fans. The deal needs regulatory approval.
Japan questions its pacifism 80 years after nuclear attacks
By HANNAH BEECH
Nine nations now possess nuclear weapons, which can obliterate and irradiate human settlements in an instant. But only twice have they been used: 80 years ago when the destructive technology was in its infancy and in the hands of a single country.
On Aug. 6, 1945, in a drastic move thought to have hastened Japan’s surrender in World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the western Japanese city of Hiroshima. A U.S. bomber called the Enola Gay released the 9,700-pound weapon that detonated nearly 2,000 feet in the air, creating a massive mushroom cloud and searing the city with temperatures of up to 7,200 degrees Fahrenheit. The blast and its fallout extinguished about 140,000 lives by the end of the year.
Three days later, another American bomber dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, to the southwest, killing another 70,000 people. The destruction of the two cities was followed by Japan’s submission days later, ending its decades of brutal conquest. But the bombings also announced a more terrifying age in which human innovation could spark death and destruction on a previously unimaginable scale.
As the flattened city of Hiroshima was rebuilt, it dedicated itself to promoting peace. Survivors of the atomic bombing have campaigned for a world free of nuclear weapons. But 80 years on, that dream is fading. Three of Japan’s neighbors — Russia, China and North Korea — are nuclear powers, and Tokyo depends on the American nuclear umbrella to protect it. With tensions in the Pacific heightening and firsthand memories of nuclear devastation waning, more Japanese are questioning the national commitment to peace at all costs.
Why did Japan go all-in on pacifism after World War II?
The Americans forced it to. The Imperial Japanese Armed Forces’ harsh invasion of much of Asia, its shock attack on Pearl Harbor and its willingness to sacrifice a generation of young soldiers for the empire, made the victorious Americans adamant that the country should never again wage war.
Japan’s so-called “peace constitution,” drafted by the Americans who occupied the country for nearly seven years, forever renounced war. Its Article 9 has been interpreted to mean that Japan should never possess a military with offensive capabilities.
In return, the United States promised to defend Japan should it come under attack. The security treaty made Japan a beneficiary of the theory of nuclear deterrence, in which the fear of nuclear retaliation is thought to deter a first-strike attack.
So why does Japan have a military?
To take into account these constitutional limitations, Japan’s military is called the Self-Defense Forces. It cannot take on combat roles in international conflicts. But that hasn’t stopped Japan from expanding its arsenal to counter potential threats from Asian neighbors such as China that, in turn, worry about Japan’s rearmament, given its wartime record. If budget hikes continue, Japan will soon be among the world’s top military spenders. All of this modern hardware is supposed to be only for defensive purposes, although a debate in Japan about its global military profile has been getting louder.
What do Japanese think of their country’s rearming?
While many in the older generations worry about Japan’s waning commitment to pacifism, younger Japanese tend to be more sanguine. Supporters of a military expansion say Japan shouldn’t be forced into a defensive crouch forever, especially with security threats ratcheting up in the Pacific. (In addition to superpower jousting, Japan has territorial disputes with China, Russia and the two Koreas.) They worry that the United States may not always be a constant security guarantor for Japan, especially under President Donald Trump, who has criticized Japan for relying too heavily on the presence of U.S. military bases.
And with firsthand memories of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki disappearing, most Japanese are now removed from the kind of searing testimony that underwrote the country’s pacifist, nonnuclear stance. Nippon Kaigi, an ultranationalist political bloc that aims to revise Article 9 of
the constitution, has significant support among lawmakers from the governing Liberal Democratic Party. Amending the constitution was once unthinkable; it’s now a political talking point.
What about nukes?
Nihon Hidankyo, a group representing atomic bomb survivors, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year for its campaign to rid the world of nuclear weapons. But Japan has never signed the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. In 2023, Fumio Kishida, then the prime minister of Japan, whose family is from Hiroshima, supported a statement at a Group of 7 summit he hosted in the city that implied nuclear deterrence might bring its own kind of peace.
Kishida’s stance reflects a growing feeling in Japan that while nuclear weapons are dangerous and their eradication is a noble ideal, the real world also requires deterrence and robust defense.

Alec Luhn, missing American hiker, is found alive in Norway
By CLAIRE MOSES and HENRIK PRYSER LIBELL
Rescue workers on Wednesday found Alec Luhn, an American hiker who had been missing for nearly a week after taking a solo backpacking trip in a Norwegian national park, according to police officials and the Norwegian Red Cross.
Luhn, 38, was in “good condition,” Oystein Torsnes, a police chief in the Hardanger region, said in a phone interview.
A rescue helicopter found Luhn, who had suffered some injuries to his feet, said Svein Buer, a local police official in Hardanger.
Workers had been searching for Luhn since Monday night
through bad weather and challenging terrain. On Wednesday morning, the weather conditions — while still cloudy and rainy — were good enough to use helicopters, which had not been possible the day before.
“It’s amazing,” Buer said by phone. “He stayed alive for almost a week, up in the mountains.”
Luhn has been transported to the Haukeland Hospital in Bergen, according to Ingeborg Thorsland, a spokesperson for the Norwegian Red Cross.
Luhn had last been heard from last Thursday afternoon when he texted his itinerary to his wife, Veronika Silchenko.
An experienced hiker, Luhn was on a solo backpacking trip heading into Folgefonna National Park from Odda, a nearby
town. The park is a popular, if challenging, place for hikers to admire its stunning nature, which includes a large glacier at its center.
Torsnes said Luhn was found where rescue workers had expected — a few kilometers north of his last known position, from which he had sent his wife a photo of himself from his phone.
There were about 50 people involved in the search, Torsnes said.
Luhn is an environmental journalist who has also covered the war in Ukraine, among other topics. His articles have appeared in newspapers and media outlets including The Guardian, The Atlantic, Scientific American and Vice News.
Rwanda agrees to accept 250 migrants as part of Trump deportation plan
By EVE SAMPSON
Rwanda has agreed to accept 250 deportees from the United States, a Rwandan government spokesperson said Tuesday, making the east African nation the latest country to work with the Trump administration as it seeks to expel tens of thousands of migrants in American custody.
“Rwanda has agreed with the United States to accept up to 250 migrants, in part because nearly every Rwandan family has experienced the hardships of displacement,” said the government spokesperson, Yolande Makolo.
Rwanda isn’t the only African nation to strike a deal with the United States to accept deportees. In July, the U.S. Supreme Court approved the deportation of eight men to South Sudan. The kingdom of Eswatini also accepted five deportees from the United States that same month, though it soon announced plans to repatriate them to their home countries.
Unlike Eswatini, Rwanda said it planned to integrate the deportees. They will be resettled and provided with job training, health care and places to stay in order to “jumpstart their lives in Rwanda,” Makolo said.
She said Rwanda had approval power over which U.S. deportees to accept.
In April, the Trump administration paid Rwanda $100,000 to take an Iraqi man, according to a U.S. cable. Talks about Rwanda accepting more migrants began as early as May, Rwanda’s foreign minister, Olivier Nduhungirehe, told Rwanda TV, the state broadcaster.
The plan, reported earlier Tuesday by Reuters, is reminiscent of a failed migrant deal struck between Britain and Rwanda.
In 2022, Britain signed an agreement to resettle asylum-seekers in Rwanda, and then spent years and hundreds of millions of pounds in futile attempts to make it happen. The British government said it would look into recovering the money, but Rwandan officials said they were not required to pay it back.
Rwanda once also accepted deportees from Israel for years under a secretive 2013 deal. A British court found that Rwanda had quietly moved those asylum-seekers out of the country.
The small, landlocked country earned a reputation as an example of recovery and resilience after a 1994 genocide that left about 800,000 people dead. But more recently, critics have called its human rights record into question.
With Canada no longer able to rely on US, Carney pushes new markets
By IAN AUSTEN
Days after Canada was hit by increased tariffs from President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada downplayed talk of trade retaliation on Tuesday, saying he’s focusing on Canada reducing its economic ties to the United States.
“We cannot count or fully rely on what has been our most valued trading relationship for our prosperity,” Carney told reporters at a lumber mill in West Kelowna, British Columbia. “That’s why we’re increasingly focused on building our strength at home and finding new opportunities for Canadian companies and workers abroad.”
Carney said that he had not spoken with Trump since the American president raised broad tariffs against Canada to 35% from 25% on Thursday and trade negotiations between the two countries collapsed. Trump indicated at the time that Carney had unsuccessfully tried to set up a call.
“We’ll speak when it makes sense,” Carney said.
Trump denied Canada an extension on trade talks, in contrast with his approach to Mexico. Trump suspended new tariffs against Mexico for 90 days after speaking last week with its president, Claudia Sheinbaum.
The effect of the increased tariff on Canada was mitigated by the president excluding products that qualify as North American under the trade agreement Trump made with Canada and Mexico during his first term. Carney said that about 85% of trade between the two countries remains tariff free.
But a 25% tariff on autos assembled in Canada, which is adjusted to refect the level of American parts in specific vehicles, as well as 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum, are already being felt by those industries.
Algoma Steel, the only Canadian-owned steel producer, has begun layoffs it attributed to tariffs, and General Motors of Canada cut one of the three shifts at its pickup truck plant in Oshawa, Ontario. citing “the evolving trade environment.”
Trump has announced plans to extend those tariffs to other products, including copper and pharmaceutical exports from Canada.
Canada has historically been the largest buyer of American exports. Carney said Tuesday that despite its relatively small population, the country is also the second largest source of foreign investment in the United States.
In April, Carney did retaliate with tariffs against American products, including a 25% duty on certain autos. (Companies such as Honda, Toyota and General Motors that also build cars in Canada are excluded from the measure.)
But several Canadian industries have complained that they are being harmed by those measures, particularly the duties on U.S.-made steel, which has led the government to introduce a variety of exemptions.
Many Canadians, angered and outraged by the president’s trade actions, have called for further trade retaliation.
But Carney’s comments on Tuesday suggested that
Canadians should temper expectations for any immediate response.
“We have always said that we will apply tariffs where they had the maximum impact in the United States and a minimum impact in Canada,” he told the news conference “So we don’t automatically adjust.”
He added: “We look at what we can do for our industry that’s most effective. In some cases, that will be to remove tariffs.”
Carney was at the lumber mill in West Kelowna to unveil the next step in his plan to deal with American tariffs. While he linked lumber to Trump’s recent trade measures, the tariffs on lumber currently faced by Canadian mills are not new: They were already in place when Trump took office for this second term.
He said that the government will make 700 million Canadian dollars, about $508 million, in loan guarantees available to Canadian lumber companies and provide CA$500 million to assist those companies in developing new products and markets.
For decades, some U.S. lumber producers have brought trade complaints against Canada, arguing that its lumber — which is mostly cut on government land — is being sold below its actual cost in the United States. For the most part, international trade tribunals have found the U.S. lumber tariffs to not be valid.
Two weeks ago, Carney announced a variety of measures to support the steel industry. In addition to financial assistance, they included quotas on imports of steel from other countries. The San Juan Daily Star

How tariffs raise costs for farmers, making food more expensive
By KEVIN DRAPER
American farmers, ranchers and agricultural industry experts are still sorting through what increased tariffs on dozens of countries will mean for both U.S. farm products and consumers.
But there are a few broad areas where American farmers, and consumers, are likely to see prices rise or products disappear.
Inputs
The cost of everything farmers use to produce their goods — machinery, fertilizer, herbicides, feed — has been rising, squeezing profitability. That will only pick up speed.
Most of the fertilizer American farmers use is imported. Some of that will continue to face previously announced 10% tariffs, while fertilizer that comes from Trinidad and Tobago, a major producer, and a number of countries in the Middle East will see tariffs as high as 30%.
Tariffs on steel and aluminum exporting countries will raise costs for things such as tractors, fencing and grain bins. Machinery and equipment used in food manufacturing and packaging will be more expensive, too.
Imported food
The United States imported $212 billion worth of agricultural products last year, according to the Agriculture Department. Some of that can be replaced by an increase in American-grown products, and the new increased tariffs do not meaningfully change the duty rates for the two countries that produced almost $89 billion of those imports, Mexico and Canada, because most food products are covered by a
preexisting trade agreement among those countries and the United States.
Still, that leaves tens of billions of dollars worth of agricultural products that will soon be subjected to higher tariffs. The goods that will be most difficult to replace will be products that the United States may not have the climate, topography or infrastructure to grow immediately. That includes tropical fruits such as pineapples and mangoes, coffee and chocolate, or the produce that can’t be grown year-round in the United States.
Howard Lutnick, the secretary of commerce, has suggested there could be exemptions for products not grown in the United States, but that hasn’t been formalized.
Retaliation
Retaliatory tariffs could impact the $176 billion worth of agricultural products the U.S. exported last year, making them less competitive.
“Given the ag sector’s dependence on exports, ag products are a very tempting target for retaliatory measures,” Darci Vetter, the chief agricultural negotiator during the Obama administration, said in an email.
A version of this can already be seen with soybeans, the biggest American agricultural export. More than half of American soybean exports go to China, and that country’s 10% retaliatory tariff — down from 125% after a temporary trade truce in May — has already taken a bite out of the trade.
Through May, the last month of data, $6.6 billion worth of soybeans have been exported to China in 2025. During the same time frame last year, $9 billion worth was sent to China.
Uncertainty
Even the trade deals said to be completed, like those with the European Union and Japan, leave as many questions as answers.
The White House has announced that Japan will buy more American rice and that the European Union will address barriers to trade beyond tariffs, like sanitary requirements for pork and dairy products. But the full details of the agreements have not been released, and it has become clear, in some cases, that there were disagreements between how the White House and other countries were interpreting their trade deals.

BSN finals tied at a game apiece after Ponce’s late-game surge
By THE STAR STAFF
The Ponce Leones (Lions) and Bayamón Vaqueros (Cowboys) are even heading into tonight’s Game 3 of the National Superior Basketball (BSN by its initials in Spanish) finals after the Leones’ 90-76 come-from-behind win on Tuesday night at Juan “Pachín” Vicéns Auditorium in Ponce.
The Leones trailed at the half, 50-45, and by 10 with 3:19 left in the third quarter, but closed out the game with a torrid 33-9 run.
A deep 3-pointer by Brady Manek tied the score at 67 with 58 seconds left in the third quarter. A basket by Michael Devoe then put Ponce ahead, 69-67, to close out the period.
Jezreel de Jesús converted on a technical foul called on Javier Mojica to give the Leones a 10-point lead, 82-72, with 2:41 left in the fourth quarter, and a minute and a half later Johned Walker’s reverse layup gave Ponce its biggest lead of the night, 90-73, with 1:11 left.
De Jesús led the winners with 23 points. Devoe added 16 points, Manek had 15 and Jordan Murphy contributed 12.
Danilo Gallinari led the Vaqueros with 22 points, while Mojica finished with 13, Javale McGee had 11 with 10 rebounds, and Gary Browne added 10.
The third game tips off at 8 p.m. at Rubén Rodríguez Coliseum in Bayamón.
Jezreel de Jesús led the way with 23 points as the Ponce Leones rallied for a 14-point win to even the National Superior Basketball finals on Tuesday night.
PR wins 60 medals at ITF Central American and Caribbean Taekwondo Cup
By THE STAR STAFF
The Puerto Rican delegation placed third in the medals count at the ITF Central American and Caribbean Taekwondo Cup, held July 26-27 in Santiago, Dominican Republic, winning a total of 60 medals.
“The athletes demonstrated perseverance, discipline, and great commitment, gained international experience, and honored Puerto Rico,” coach Gabriel Candelaria said in a written statement.
The Puerto Rican team won 22 gold medals, 18 silver medals and 20 bronze medals at last month’s ITF Central American and Caribbean Taekwondo Cup in Santo Domingo.
More than 400 athletes from 10 countries participated in the competition. The Puerto Rican team won 22 gold medals, 18 silver medals and 20 bronze medals.
The delegation included athletes from Progressive Learning Institute, Taekwondo Zone, Athletic Taekwondo Center, Centro Integral de Taekwondo, Inspire Taekwondo and Active Taekwondo. Additionally, it had the support of the president of the International Taekwondo Association (ITF), Master Gato Gato, and a technical team composed of John Rodríguez, Christy Flores, Michael Rivera and Luz Mulero.
The delegation’s performance reaffirms the growth of the discipline in Puerto Rico and the commitment of instructors, athletes, and their families to developing leaders with values both inside and outside the competition arena.
