Wyndham more important this year for FedExCup playoff

By CAR ol BR ook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com

For many years, the Wyndham Championship has been the tournament for golfers looking to improve position in the FedExCup playoffs. As the last regular-season tournament of the year, those golfers on the bubble come to Sedgefield Country Club with hopes of extending their playing season.

But this year there is a little more at stake.

“Two numbers matter to PGA Tour players as they decide to play the Wyndham Championship: 70 and 50,” said Executive Director Mark Brazil. “New this

year, only the top-70 players in FedExCup points make the playoffs after our tournament — that number used to be 125. The top-50 players in FedExCup points after the first playoff event are eligible for the Tour’s designated events with the $20 million purse next season.

“What we’re seeing this year is guys either positioning themselves to secure a spot in the playoffs, or in the case of the guys we’re announcing today, securing their spot in that top 50 so they’re eligible for the more-lucrative events next season.”

That means, players such as Justin Thomas (75), Adam Scott (80) and Gary

There will be a Town Council Candidate Information Session on Aug. 4 at 10 a.m. in the Civic Center at Town Hall. The session will serve as an opportunity for staff to inform the candidates about their roles and responsibilities. Candidates will receive accurate information they may use to assist them in learning more about the operations of the Town, allow them time to inquire about issues or concerns that they may have and to have a dialogue with key staff members.

The public is invited to attend, but public comments will not be heard at this session.

maSSive moving Sale

The little Corner Book Shop, located in the basement southwest corner of the historic Jamestown Public Library at the corner of Ragsdale Road and W. Main Street, needs to have its floor repaired. However, the thousands of books and all the shelves within its walls must be moved for this to be accomplished.

To help with this massive task, Friends of the Jamestown Library are hosting a Massive Moving Sale Aug. 26 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. All the books of your choice that will fit into a brown paper bag may be purchased for only $10. Bags will be furnished.

At this rate you could easily add several bags of books to your personal library or share them with friends and family.

After the flooring is completed, any books remaining from the sale, plus new titles, will be placed back into the Corner Book Shop. Quality books are always available at nominal prices in the bookshop, but the biggest bargains will be found at the Massive Moving Sale. Checks or cash will be accepted.

Put the date on you calendar now. Your help by moving books out with your purchase and your patience during the temporary bookshop closing is appreciated.

Woodland (90) need to have a lucrative showing at the Wyndham in order to make the playoffs.

Even those hovering around the 50 mark are anxious. Those include Alex Smalley (45), Hideki Matsuyama (54) and Matt Kuchar (56).

Additionally, the Wyndham Championship is the third-to-last chance for United States players to earn Ryder Cup qualifying points. Following the BMW Championship Aug.

17-20, the top-six players in points will automatically qualify for the team. The six captain’s picks will be made following the Tour Championship, Aug. 24-27. Players hoping to play for Europe have until Sept. 3 to earn points. At that time, the six automatic qualifiers and captain’s picks will be determined.

“This field illustrates the new points priorities very clearly,” Brazil said. “A lot of guys are working to get into the top 70 and

make the playoffs, and a lot are working to stay in the top 50 or make it into the top 50 after the first playoff event to be eligible for the designated events next season. And several are looking to make it into the top Comcast Business Tour Top 10 and a shot at that bonus money. The bottom line is the Wyndham Championship field is very strong, and we should have an incredible tournament.”

Both Zach Johnson, U.S. Ryder Cup captain, and Luke Donald, European Ryder Cup captain, have committed to this year’s Wyndham.

“It’s a neat deal to have both Ryder Cup captains in the Wyndham Champi-

onship field,” Brazil said. “Playing at Sedgefield gives Zach and Luke an opportunity to see some players they’re considering for the team in person at the final regular season event. It’s pretty cool that our PGA Tour event can have such a significant impact on team selection for what can easily be called the best golf tournament in the world.”

Johnson is a former Masters and U.S. Open champion and Donald was runnerup at the 2016 Wyndham Championship and tied for third at the 2005 Masters and 2006 PGA Championship.

Book clubs add different dimension to reading

By no R m A B. denni S freela N ce writer ndworddesign@gmail.com

Settling down in a comfortable chair with a good book is always special. But the prospect of sharing what you glean from a book with others could make the read even better. That seems to be key to the popularity of book clubs, which are numerous in the surrounding area.

“I have heard women say that belonging to a club exposes them to books they would not have thought of reading,” said Nancy Dyer, coordinator for the Jamestown Public Library Book Club, which currently meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 12:30 p.m. at the Jamestown Park Clubhouse. “They also enjoy the friendships of others in the club.”

Although Dyer serves as the contact for that club, everyone has the address, phone number and email for fellow members.

“We form bonds with each other and stay in touch outside of meetings,” Dyer said.

Peggy Purcell suggested the idea of the book club 17 years ago and several members of her church chose to participate. At that time many of the women worked so the group met in the evening at the Jamestown Pub-

lic Library. Within two years, Dyer became the contact person for members and continues to hold that position today.

As club members retired, the group began gathering in what is known as the Swedish room at the library during the day and more recently moved to the park clubhouse while maintaining its 12:30 p.m. time.

Ankle injury forces defender Kim out of Wyndham

By CAR ol BR ook S freela N ce writer cab1hp@gmail.com

Anyone watching the Open Championship recently heard announcers talking about the ankle injury suffered after the first round by Tom Kim. Coverage also showed him limping around the course during the final three rounds.

Before the rounds he wore an on-and-off cast, used heavy icing, did rehab and walked with crutches.

But Kim only had one thing on his mind as he hobbled like a trooper around Royal Liverpool Golf Club (also known as Hoylake): taking home the Claret Jug awarded to the winner. If not for the outstanding performance of eventual champ Brian Harman, Kim had a chance for victory but finished the tournament tied for second with

“We would buy our lunch and then have our book discussion,” Dyer explained. “The snack bar at the clubhouse closed, but we will continue to meet there for the time being.”

Twice a year, the group meets in the home of one of the members. In June, they hold a salad luncheon and select 11 books to read during the coming year, which runs from July to May. There is no book discussion at that meeting. In December, however, the group has a meal together along with a book discussion.

During the pandemic, the group held discussions by Zoom and also met under the picnic shelter at Jamestown Presbyterian Church.

Members, often the person who has suggested a title, will facilitate the discussion. If they cannot do it for any reason, Dyer fills in as leader.

Dyer has keep a record of every book the club has read since its beginning. She includes on her list the author and date it was read. Occasionally the group will read the same book, but often see it in a different perspective than when it was first read.

Greensboro Public Library has many book-club sets consisting of 10-15 books with the same title, which

Some PGA Tour golfers come to the Wyndham Championship without ever seeing Sedgefield Country Club, while others have had the benefit of playing the course numerous times.

But some players began playing Sedgefield as teenagers in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Wyndham Invitational and two of them went on to win their respective tournaments. One of those, Justin Thomas, has committed to play the Wyndham Championship in 2023. Another, reigning Open Championship winner Brian Harman is taking the week off.

Thomas is a two-time major winner of the PGA Championship, 2017 and 2022. He won the 2009 AJGA Wyndham Invitational presented by Odyssey

and claimed an exemption into the Wyndham Championship as the AJGA champion. From 2008-2012, the winner of the AJGA tournament received an exemption into that year’s Wyndham Championship. Thomas was just 16 years old when he made his PGA Tour debut that year as an amateur. He fired an opening 65 followed by a two-overpar 72 to become the third-

Reading can be used to gather information or simply for the pure pleasure of it. For some, however, sharing opinions and insights about what they read takes it to a new level.

Most recent visit: July 25

Lulu and Blu is located on the back row of a shopping center, almost hidden unless you are looking for it already. The interior is larger than it looks from outside. Very pleasant hostesses greet you at entry. From their station, a large bar area flanks to the right. The rest of the space is divided into smaller dining rooms.

Noise level is moderate to soft. This is one of the few places in our area where

From the Front

I have no difficulty engaging in conversation. I really appreciate that, and based on reader mail, so do a lot of others in the dining public.

Executive Chef/Owner Jeremy Walley studied culinary arts at GTCC. He was sous chef for a brief period at M. Stephen’s (RIP), which led him to Blue Water Grille. He went on to help open Lulu and Blu where he held the executive chef position from 2014-2017, leaving to open Manna Food Truck. He bought the restaurant in March 2019, just before COVID hit.

The menu is wide-ranging. The kitchen vows that they can cope with any diet or restriction (but to be fair, I would suggest calling ahead if you need special accommodations). Although the cuisine is primarily Italian in concept, lots of small plates are offered that are bound by no particular tradition beyond commendable talent and creativity in the kitchen. You can eat tapas style if you like.

Roasted Cauliflower is presented in a bright red sauce made from dried chiles and salt-cured pork in a balsamic reduction, topped with deep green basil pesto and crushed macadamias. Bright and cheerful in appearance, it tastes as good as it looks.

We ordered Gnocchi with truffles and Romano cheese.

(Agave Mustard Glaze with Pastrami Ragu is the alternative.) This lush sauce is plate-licking good. The gnocchi (potato dumplings) are pan-roasted, which gives them a light brown crust and added texture.

You get three Wagyu Beef Sliders in an order. Hosted in a toasted brioche bun, the deeply flavored beef patties are covered with warm, soft buffalo mozzarella cheese, a slice of smoked bacon, and a sun-dried tomato aioli. This “starter” could easily constitute a full meal, and a really

good one at that, maybe with a salad.

Fried Calamari is the standard Triad dish, lightly crusted, with flavor coming primarily from the crust, augmented by an arrabiata sauce (garlic, tomatoes, and dried red chili peppers), plus Meyer lemon aioli. The red sauce is fairly spicy, the white aioli pleasantly mellow. Everyone at our table liked them both.

For main courses, we were especially drawn to the pasta dishes. There are plenty of them!

The main ingredient in Chicken Piccata is sourced from Joyce Farms- a superior bird- and placed in capellini pasta with a light application of capers, plus diced shallots, tomatoes, lemon zest, and garlic butter. Classic Italian, well executed.

Lulu Lasagna is the meatiest version of this perennial favorite I have ever encountered. Chunks of beef short rib meat, sliced Italian sausage, and bits of pork cheek lurk between layers of sheet pasta, oozing ricotta, moz-

zarella, and asiago cheeses, in a sweetish tomato sauce, from San Marzano tomatoes. A killer!

Carbonara uses bucatini pasta, kind of a thick spaghetti, which conveys flavor from the other ingredients. This concoction includes salt-cured egg yolk, pulled chicken, guanciale (cured pork cheeks), shiitake mushrooms, and pea shoots, blended with pecorino romano cheese. A luxurious assembly, indeed. Beef Short Rib is a particularly rewarding ingredient, both for chefs and diners. Cooked low and slow, the meat is fork-tender, emitting solid depth of flavor. In this case, it is hosted by firm cavatelli pasta, plus shallots, carrots, chunks of heirloom tomatoes, leaves of spinach, and ricotta and parmigiano cheeses, in a chianti bordelaise sauce. It’s complex in flavor, abundant in quantity.

The

Leftovers from my wife’s serving fed us both the next night.

We found just as much pleasure outside the pasta list.

This kitchen makes Osso Bucco with lamb shanks, for a really robust result. The braised meat can be pulled away from the bone with a fork, it’s so tender. It has been simmered in Chianti wine, which is reduced, the meat topped with micro amaranth and parsley gremolata, and plated with roasted sliced carrots and cubed potatoes.

Sixty South Salmon is grilled to a light brown crust, decorated with fresh herbs, and placed over romesco sauce (made with red peppers and almonds). Cubed roasted potatoes rest alongside, asparagus spears underneath. The fish is moist and tender, the vegetables a good match. Blackened Scallops are seared dark brown on top, but still tender inside.

They are topped with bright green basil pesto aioli, asparagus spears, and cubed potatoes alongside.

This is summer, so we skipped desserts.

may be checked out by any group in Guilford County.

If a set is not available for what a club wants to read, Jim McGaha, manger of the Jamestown Public Library, will purchase at least one, or members may purchase the book, often sharing with each other.

“We do not limit ourselves to book-club sets, but read what we want to,” Dyer said. “Our club really seems to enjoy reading historical fiction, but we also read a variety of other books.”

Another group, the Lunch Bunch Book Club meets in the Swedish room at the Jamestown Library on the first Tuesday of the month at 11:30 a.m. Carol Reed and Joanne Miller started the club shortly after the women retired from work at Millis Road Elementary School.

“Carol began working at the Jamestown Library so we met there during her lunch period,” Miller said.

When we started we used book-club sets. Now we use some sets or members buy books to read.”

This club has a luncheon in July, at which members vote for 11 books to read for the coming year. Mary Hale and Joan Maucere serve as leaders for the club and Sue Elder, a part-time staff member and volunteer at the library, is currently serving as the group’s facilitator. Elder helps with the selection process, making sure books are readily accessible when possible.

“We usually get all the choices in or carry a title over to the next reading cycle,” Elder said. “Our group likes a variety of subjects including historical and popular fiction as well as non-fiction.”

Questions to use when leading a discussion can sometimes be found at the back of a book or more generic questions may be found online.

“The idea is to read, discuss and have fun with what

you are reading,” Elder said. “We have a diverse group from a variety of backgrounds. It makes for lots of interesting discussions.”

Books that these two groups have selected to read over the next year can be found on the Jamestown Public Library website.

In March, McGaha, along with library staffer Joy Davis, began an evening book club that meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the library’s Swedish room. So far, the club has eight members including two couples.

McGaha feels having men and women in a club does not necessarily dictate what to read.

“A good book has its own merits and it does not matter if it is for men or women,” he explained. “A good story is a good story. I do like to look at the author of a book, however, because I think they add bits of their lives to a story even if it is fiction.

“I want people to read books they have a passion for, books they really like. But I also would like to try all types of books, such as graphic novels, so the group can experience them. I am not sure the average reader would pick up this type of book. Another goal is to hear each person’s opinion, to give each a chance to share and bring their own life experience to what he or she has read.”

Club meetings for the various groups are not mandatory. Members can attend as time and desire allows. Several people belong to more than one club, however. Miller attends a second book club that meets in the home of Dot Miller.

“All these women are educators and I almost feel I get lessons in English, from out discussions,” Miller said. “Teachers approach reading differently. They notice writing styles and how authors express themselves and their passions.

“Being in a club stretches you,” she added.

Area residents Jo Marsom and Sheree Marsh Crane both belong to four book clubs.

“My love for reading is the reason I do,” Marsom said. “I love to read all kinds of books; fantasy is my favorite. But my husband claims I would read a mechanic’s manual if that is all that is in the room.”

Book clubs come in all sizes varying from big to small to very small. In fact, they might not even be called a club, but rather a group or nothing at all.

Fifteen years ago Jenny Naples started a neighborhood book club that included about 10 people.

“We would rotate among the members’ homes,” Naples said. “But it became more social than a book discussion so after 10 years I quit. Today I meet with three friends who used to work together. We have lunch and a book discussion. Once, during a solar eclipse, we met outside so we could watch the eclipse while we had our discussion.”

Naples noted she especially enjoys reading history, biography and nonfiction. Others in the group like true-life stories. Occasionally they go back to a classic if it can be find in print.

“We are a very eclectic group and alternate what we read,” she said. “I read differently for a book club. I analyze it more then when I read for pleasure. There is a sense of wonder and curiosity that keeps me reading.”

Jean Regan does not belong to a club or group, but meets regularly with a friend for lunch and to share views on a book.

It appears to make no difference what a group is called, where it meets or how many are involved. The biggest characteristic is a shared common interest — the love of reading.

Author visits local book club

By noRmA B. denniS freelaNce writer ndworddesign@gmail.com

Members of the Little Lit Book Club recently gathered at the home of Jo Marsom for what would normally be a book discussion. Instead of members sharing their views and insights about the young adult novel “On the Way to Birdland ” however, the book’s author, Frank Morelli, shared details on his writing experiences and answered questions about the book’s characters and theme.

“We do not usually have authors speak to us, but Frank is local so we took advantage of that to invite him to come,” Marsom said.

Originally from Philadelphia, Morelli moved south in 2005 to teach middle school English at Westchester Country Day School.

“The book began to come to me when I came to High Point,” said Morelli, who started writing as a youth, making up new story lines to his favorite video games. “While walking around town I came across the statue of John Coltrane and felt amazed to be breathing the same air as this legend.

“I did not like jazz, but when researching Coltrane I saw how awesome his music was. My book is not about him but I put him in the background of the story. I drew parallels between the main character, Cordell (Cordy) Wheaton, and Trane. I like mythology and also wove that and some simple philosophical lessons into the story.”

Underlying Cordy’s journey to find his older brother, who left their home in High Point, is his journey to find himself. Along the way he meets people who have experienced devastating pains in life.

“It takes Cordy a long time to realize what has happened in his own life,” Morelli said.

“Literature is supposed to make you feel. I love when a book takes on a physical part, not just words.”

Morelli’s enthusiasm on the completion of his book was dimmed as he proceeded through numerous rewrites at the suggestions of his publisher. It

took him more than three years to bring the book to market.

“It is the most edited book I have written,” Morelli said with a smile.

Morelli’s fiction and essays have been featured in the Saturday Evening Post, Cobalt Review, Philadelphia Stories, Boog City Review and Highlights magazine. His first young adult novel, “No Sad Songs,” garnered much recognition, including a 2019 American Fiction Award for best coming-of-age story.

He is currently working on another book.

“Having the author visit our book club was certainly different,” Marsom said. “One of the younger members felt she could not say anything negative about the book because he was there.”

It is possible that for this particular book, the meeting might have been less of a discussion and more of a listen and learn.

Who has committed to play

Several past winners of the Wyndham Championship have plans to attend this year, including Davis Love III (1992, 2006, 2015), Brandt Snedeker (2008, 2018), Ryan Moore (2009), Webb Simpson (2011), Si Woo Kim (2016), J.T. Poston (2019) and Jim Herman (2020). Many were first-time PGA Tour winners. There are several North Carolina connections in the field: Raleigh natives

Ryan Gerrard and Simpson; Chapel Hill native Ben Griffin; Charlotte native Love; Cary native Brendon Todd; Alex Smalley, who attended Duke; Wake Forest graduate Kyle Reifers; and rookie Akshay Bhatia, who lives in Raleigh.

Other big names committed to this year’s tournament include former Masters winner Adam Scott, t wo-time PGA

Champion Justin Thomas, former Open champion Shane Lowry; former

three other golfers. Not bad for a young golfer who had his first PGA Tour victory just last year at the 2022 Wyndham Championship.

Kim, 21, had committed to defending his title this year, but announced July 27 that he was pulling out to give the ankle time to heal.

He suffered the grade 1 tear in his right ankle when he slipped off the patio of his rental home during the Open.

“I am very gutted to not be able to defend my first PGA Tour win,” Kim said, who noting that adrenaline helped him get through the Open. “I am still having a hard time with my ankle, so I am getting the treatment I need to heal completely.”

Former World No. 1, Thomas, 30, comes to Sedgefield in search of FedExCup points after having a down year. He currently sits at 75, just below the cutoff line of 70. He won the Fed-

Kim is currently No. 14 in the FedExCup standings.

Kim was named Joo-hyung at birth in South Korea but christened himself Tom after he fell in love with Thomas the tank train engine as a child. He will be remembered as opening his first round at the 2022 Wyndham Championship with a quadruple bogey (four over par) on the first hole, ending up 20 under par and five shots better than his nearest competitors.

The Wyndham Championship will be held Aug. 3-6 at Sedgefield Country Club.

Harman, on the other hand, sits firmly in sixth position in the FedExCup race following his win at the 2023 Open Championship. The lefty, 36, is a two-time AJGA winner at Sedgefield having become the champion in 2003 and 2004, making him the only multiple winner in tournament history.

He has played in the Wyndham Championship 10 times, the latest coming last year when he tied for 71st.

“That was quite a dominating performance by Brian Harman [at the Open],” Wyndham Championship Executive Director Mark Brazil said. “We certainly got a glimpse of his potential at our annual AJGA Major when he won back-to-back titles before he went on to play at the University of Georgia.

Pork, Peaches and Perfection: the ultimate Burger Combo!

By pAtti diAmond DiVaS ON a DiMe

The dog days of summer are here, and nobody wants the oven to heat up the house. So, the grill is getting lots of attention right now. One of the most popular foods to cook on the grill is the barbecue classic: the hamburger. Is there any food that screams “summer” more than a juicy burger? Nope.

However, for a twist on the standard burger, how about switching up the meat? We’ve all had beef burgers, but how about a big, juicy pork burger?

Pork or “the other white meat” is such an under used ground meat for burgers.

Juicy and delicious, pork is often less expensive than beef.

Here’s the secret to why pork burgers are so juicy. Typically, pork is sold 70/30 lean to fat ratio rather than 85/15 like in beef. You can buy leaner grind, but fat is flavor, and you’re not having burgers every night, right?

This pork burger is flavorful and brimming with smoky chipotle plus a little sweetness and lots of texture from the fresh grilled peach salsa.

Chipotle porK BurgerS

With grilled peaCh SalSa

Yield: 6 (4 ounce) burgers

total time: 45 minutes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup onion diced

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1.5 pounds ground pork

1 egg

1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon onion powder

1/2 tablespoon ground mustard

1/2 tablespoon ground cumin

1 1/2 tablespoons chipotle seasoning

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

6 whole wheat hamburger buns and lettuce for serving

In a skillet over medium heat, heat the oil then add the onion and Worcestershire, then saute until very soft.

Place the cooked onions in a mixing bowl. Add the ground pork and all remaining ingredients. Mix well with your hands to evenly incorporate all the spices and egg. Divide the mixture into 6 (4 ounce) portions and form the pork into thin patties with your hands. Set aside until ready to grill.

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees. If you’re making peach salsa, grill the peaches while the grill is heating up and make the salsa while the burgers cook.

To grill the burgers: Cook the pork burgers on the grill, 4 to 6 minutes each side, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees. A quick-read thermometer will do the trick. Serve on whole wheat buns with lettuce and peach salsa.

grilled peaCh SalSa

Yield: 2 cups

total time: 15 minutes

3 peaches or nectarines

1 avocado, cubed

1/4 cup purple onion, minced

2 tablespoons red bell pepper, minced

1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons lime (or lemon) juice

Preheat grill to 400 degrees. Slice three peaches or nectarines in half and remove the pits. Place on the grill, starting with the cut side down and flipping over after 2 minutes to reserve the juices. You want them to have a bit of char for that intense smoky flavor. Continue grilling until heated through and softened. When done, remove the skins and chop, yielding about two cups. Mix the peaches, avocado, onion, red pepper, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice. Serve with the pork burgers.

This salsa is refreshing, tangy and a delicious accompaniment to chicken, fish and beef, too — or served with chips or eaten with a spoon.

Next time you fire up the grill, venture beyond the usual burgers and embrace the succulent flavors of pork. With chipotleinfused goodness and a tantalizing grilled peach salsa, these burgers are a must-try for your summer gatherings. Dare to indulge in “the other white meat” for a delicious twist on a classic favorite.

Heart attacks occur after treatment of infections

By keith RoACh, m.d. tO YOUr gOOD HealtH

dear dr. roaCh: My mom had a throat and palate infection that was treated in 2017, and about two weeks later, she had a heart attack. In 2023, she had pneumonia, and was briefly hospitalized and treated, but again about two weeks later, she had another heart attack. We asked her cardiologist if there is a relationship between either the infections themselves or the treatment of infections and heart attacks, but he was not aware of any. This seems too unlikely to be a coincidence. What is your experience on this? — A.C.S. dear a.C.S.: A heart attack happens when the demand for blood from the heart is greater than the ability of the blood vessels can provide. In practice, this almost always means that there are blockages in the blood vessels. However, an increase in the workload of the heart, such as strenuous exercise or an infection (fever tends to increase heart rate, and the blood flow from the heart usually increases with serious infection), can be what leads a person to have a heart attack. It’s possible that this is what happened with your mom. The timing of two weeks after the event is longer than expected, but it’s possible. Whether from chronic infection or inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation in the blood increases the risk of heart disease in the long term, so if there is a connection, and it’s not just coincidental, that would be the most likely cause.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med. cornell.edu. ©2023 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
