Photographer joins bear hunt, but not to kill
The largest grizzly hunt in the Lower 48 in more than 40 years is set to open next month in Wyoming, and more than 7,000 people applied for a chance to kill one of up to 22 bears. Among the tiny number of people who won the draw for permits is a wildlife photographer who has produced some of the most famous images of the area’s grizzlies.

Want less government? Vote for abortion rights | Letters to the editor
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Monday - 05/06/2024 - 04:15 AM
The proposed constitutional amendment known as Amendment 4 would allow abortions up to about the 24th week of pregnancy, just as Florida law had allowed up until Gov. Ron DeSantis enacted a 15-week abortion ban in 2022. On May 1, DeSantis’ six-week abortion ban became law; many women and girls at that point don’t even know they are pregnant. History proves that people are going to continue to need abortion access.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Monday - 05/06/2024 - 04:15 AM
Pier Sixty-Six, the landmark that rises high and stands out with its crown of spires, could be deemed a historic structure in Fort Lauderdale, preserving it forever. The Fort Lauderdale City Commission is scheduled to vote Tuesday to give the property’s original tower a “historic designation as a historic landmark,” keeping the 1950s-era exterior intact, according to city records. It’s considered important for its historic associations with the Phillips Petroleum Company. “It is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable and significant structures in Fort Lauderdale and represents an important historical time in our city’s history,” said Vice Mayor Steven Glassman. The public meeting will be at 6 p.m.
