After missing the playoffs in consecutive seasons, the Chicago Cubs were one of the most active teams during the offseason, and they hope the 2023 season will represent a large step forward to the organization.

As the Cubs head to Mesa for spring training, and as you settle onto your couch and dream of warmer summer days, here is a refresher course on the new players that will dot the team’s roster.

Tucker Barnhart

With the departure of Willson Contreras in free agency, the Cubs have opted to go in a slightly more defensive direction, signing Barnhart to a two-year deal.

Barnhart, winner of two Gold Gloves during his time in Cincinnati, drove in 16 RBI’s and posted a .287 on-base percentage in 308 plate appearances last season with the Detroit Tigers. He’ll hope that a down year was an aberration, as he previously had posted an OBP of greater than .320 in six of the previous seven seasons before 2021.

Cody Bellinger

Few Cubs players will attract the amount of attention that will surely come Bellinger’s way in 2023, as the former National League MVP will look to bounce back after a series of disappointing seasons.

Bellinger did hit 19 home runs and drive in 68 RBI’s last season, but his slash-line of .210/.265/.389 didn’t exactly light the world on fire for the Dodgers, who opted to non-tender him following the campaign.

The Cubs hope that swing tweaks and a fresh start in Chicago will be enough to get him back to his old ways at the plate, and his Gold Glove-caliber defense in center field is a huge bonus for a team that put a premium on good gloves this offseason.

Brad Boxberger

The Cubs added a solid arm to their bullpen this offseason when they signed the veteran Boxberger, who posted a sterling 2.95 ERA in 70 appearances with the Milwaukee Brewers last season.

The one thing to keep an eye on with Boxberger was an increase in his WHIP, which went from 1.07 to 1.23 season-over-season. The latter number is more in line with his career performance, but the Cubs will hope that an improved defense will help turn some of the base hits Boxberger gave up in 2022 into outs.

Adapted from Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s best-selling novel of the same name, the limited series stars Jesse Eisenberg as newly divorced dad Dr Toby Fleishman. Just as he decides to enter the world of app-based dating, his ex-wife Rachel (Claire Danes) disappears, leaving him with their two young children, Hannah (Meara Mahoney-Gross) and Solly (Maxim Swinton). While juggling parenting, friend reunions and work, Fleishman finally comes to realise he’ll have to confront his marriage’s failings to discover what happened to Rachel. Following its November US release, Fleishman Is in Trouble was met with praise from critics and fans alike, which you can find a roundup of below. “ Fleishman Is In Trouble is a sharp, fierce, and funny adaptation of a truly great novel. And, for what it’s worth, it does what a throwback should: It reminds us of why we keep returning to the same stories, even when they stop making sense,” Annie Berke said in her review for AV Club. In The Guardian ’s four-star review of the series, Adrian Horton wrote: “Mundane, yet still potent. A frenetic Whac-A-Mole of everyday stressors propels Fleishman Is in Trouble.” Describing it as “an anxious series”, she branded it a “smart adaptation” of Brodesser-Akner’s 2019 novel. Horton further lauded Danes’s performance as the “reward of the series”. “Watching Fleishman Is in Trouble, you may occasionally resent its insinuation that people need to be tricked into finding women’s experiences compelling. But a lot, again, depends on perspective,” The Atlantic ’s Sophie Gilbert argued. “The show, because it has to hew strictly to an eight-episode format and the conventions of TV, sometimes feels like it’s indulging old patterns more than upending them. But its cast is so compelling, and its truths so sharp when they stick you, that it doesn’t really matter. There’s enough packed into it that you’re bound to find something that resonates.” Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter said: “You shouldn’t come away from Fleishman Is in Trouble with a singular assessment of the perpetrator or victim, a clear image of who’s to blame. This is a series about understanding instead of indicting in a way that’s poignant and probing at once.”","

Since his daughter was born in May with complications, he said, he and his wife have struggled to pay for the child care she needs. Tafari, 32, is one of the organizers behind what has been billed as the largest work stoppage at any academic institution. And as the strike entered its fourth day Thursday, halting research and prompting widespread class cancellations across the UC system's 10 campuses, the workers said their action has brought to light their financial hardships and difficult working conditions. ""Because my daughter was born with complications, we've been on seizure watch,"" Tafari said. ""We have been very lucky because my mother-in-law has been taking over as the primary caregiver. We pay her around $1,500 a month, depending on what's going on. But if we didn't have a family member who was willing and able, we'd be paying about $2,500 a month."" Tafari earns about $2,500 a month as a teaching assistant and said he has taken other jobs to supplement the income and cover the costs of raising his daughter. In negotiations, the university has proposed covering $2,500 a year in child-care costs for postdoctoral scholars, but Tafari said that isn't enough. On Thursday, the union representing academic workers said the two sides had made progress on issues of parking and transit, job security provisions and paid time off. But on compensation, a major sticking point, the UC’s slight increase fell short of union demands. The union said the new offer amounted to raises of about $132 a month for most student researchers, which would leave many workers paying 56% of their income on rent. The proposal also failed to include in the contract any supplemental compensation, which many graduate workers would receive in addition to base salaries. Story continues ""We still think this is far from sufficient,"" said Rafael Jaime, president of United Auto Workers Local 2865, which represents 19,000 of the striking workers. Ryan King, a spokesperson for UC, pointed out that the university's latest proposal eliminates the two lowest salary steps for graduate researchers, which would amount to significant increases for those workers, closer to 20%, calling it a ""generous proposal."" But he did say the average increase would be around 8% for most graduate student researchers. On Wednesday, UC Provost Michael Brown told university leaders in a letter that the union's pay and housing demands would be an ""overwhelming"" financial hit that could reach several hundred million dollars a year. Pushing back, the union said the four UAW bargaining units representing striking workers are asking for a package that would amount to 4.5% of UC's total budget. ""That’s a fair price to pay for world-class teaching and research,"" the union said in an email. Though UC officials called for a third-party mediator Monday, Jaime said he was glad the university has continued to bargain without one. Jaime accused UC of dragging its feet, saying the university bargained Wednesday and Thursday with only one of the four striking units: that representing graduate student researchers. ""It’s very inefficient,"" Jaime said. ""We want to be bargaining around the clock."" Meanwhile, as polls show U.S. support for labor unions at its highest point in nearly 60 years amid a wave of high-profile campaigns at companies such as Starbucks and Amazon, backing for the UC strike has grown among some students, faculty and workers at other unions. Faculty members said they've held ""teach-ins"" about the strike or brought their classes down to the picket line, and some professors have canceled classes altogether. Though lecturers in the UC system have a clause in their contract against canceling their classes in “sympathy strikes,” Katie Rodger, president of the UC-AFT, said the union that represents about 6,000 UC lecturers and librarians is encouraging members to support striking workers by joining the picket lines when not carrying out assigned duties. Undergraduate support for the strikers has surpassed 16,000 signatures, and the union has received almost 50 letters of support from faculty and departments across the 10 campuses. Among those departments is the ethnic studies department at UC San Diego, where assistant professor Roy Pérez, said he teaches both undergraduate and graduate classes, including one with more than 400 students that usually has seven teaching assistants. “UCSD could not meet the educational needs of so many students without the work of TAs,” Pérez said. “TAs' working conditions should be a top financial investment if the UC system wants to sustain the quality of education it promises while pursuing record-breaking enrollment numbers.” Nick Callen, a fourth-year undergrad at UC San Diego, said two of his classes have been indefinitely canceled as the strike continues. One of his professors has gone on with business as usual, not mentioning the strike or changing classes. “I am a little concerned just because it’s close to the end of the quarter,” Callen said of his disrupted classes. “It’s like we’re on hold until we hear something back from the strike. … It is really stressful, but I’m glad that they’re doing it.” Amina Hearns, a fourth-year UC Riverside student, tutor represented by the UAW and the chair of the UC Student Assn., said there’s a divide between undergraduates in humanities, arts and social sciences who support the strike and students in math and science who tend to be less supportive. She said the divide can be attributed to misinformation from the administration and some of their professors. “They try forcing this grad students versus undergraduate students,” she said. “Like ‘Look, they’re not striking and not grading your work and that’s why you’re behind.’ And that’s not true at all. The fact that they’re not reading your work is because they’re not getting the demands that they need.” Teamsters, the union representing drivers and other workers, notified UPS drivers in southern and northern California that they have the right to honor the picket line and not deliver packages to campuses during the strike. At UC Berkeley, strikers spoke Wednesday morning with workers from the International Union of Operating Engineers, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Laborers' International Union of North America. The union members agreed not to work at the construction site in solidarity with the strike. The workers are demanding a base salary of $54,000 for all graduate student workers, child-care subsidies, enhanced healthcare for dependents, longer family leave, public transit passes and lower tuition costs for international scholars. The union said the workers earn an average current pay of about $24,000 a year. UC has offered salary scale increases of 7% in the first year and 3% in each subsequent year for teaching assistants and tutors, and increases for postdoctoral scholars of 8% the first year, 5% the second year and 3% in subsequent years. UC said pay increases would amount to up to 17%, depending on the union. Between his four-year fellowship and a guaranteed job doing medical education research for the school, Tafari is able to cover the tuition and fees for his program, but because his fellowship is over in June, he said he'll have to pay about $40,000 a year to finish his degree. ""If you're undocumented, if you're poor and an international student, if you don't come from generational wealth, the odds of you being able to get a graduate degree is slim to none,"" he said. That ""really makes it so that we have fewer of the best and brightest here, doing the quality research that can transform our society to something that we all can be proud of.""

On Thursday, the union representing academic workers said the two sides had made progress on issues of parking and transit, job security provisions and paid time off. But on compensation, a major sticking point, the UC’s slight increase fell short of union demands.

The union said the new offer amounted to raises of about $132 a month for most student researchers, which would leave many workers paying 56% of their income on rent. The proposal also failed to include in the contract any supplemental compensation, which many graduate workers would receive in addition to base salaries.

""We still think this is far from sufficient,"" said Rafael Jaime, president of United Auto Workers Local 2865, which represents 19,000 of the striking workers.

Ryan King, a spokesperson for UC, pointed out that the university's latest proposal eliminates the two lowest salary steps for graduate researchers, which would amount to significant increases for those workers, closer to 20%, calling it a ""generous proposal."" But he did say the average increase would be around 8% for most graduate student researchers.

On Wednesday, UC Provost Michael Brown told university leaders in a letter that the union's pay and housing demands would be an ""overwhelming"" financial hit that could reach several hundred million dollars a year.

Pushing back, the union said the four UAW bargaining units representing striking workers are asking for a package that would amount to 4.5% of UC's total budget.

""That’s a fair price to pay for world-class teaching and research,"" the union said in an email.

Though UC officials called for a third-party mediator Monday, Jaime said he was glad the university has continued to bargain without one.

Jaime accused UC of dragging its feet, saying the university bargained Wednesday and Thursday with only one of the four striking units: that representing graduate student researchers.

""It’s very inefficient,"" Jaime said. ""We want to be bargaining around the clock.""

Meanwhile, as polls show U.S. support for labor unions at its highest point in nearly 60 years amid a wave of high-profile campaigns at companies such as Starbucks and Amazon, backing for the UC strike has grown among some students, faculty and workers at other unions.

Faculty members said they've held ""teach-ins"" about the strike or brought their classes down to the picket line, and some professors have canceled classes altogether.

Though lecturers in the UC system have a clause in their contract against canceling their classes in “sympathy strikes,” Katie Rodger, president of the UC-AFT, said the union that represents about 6,000 UC lecturers and librarians is encouraging members to support striking workers by joining the picket lines when not carrying out assigned duties.

Undergraduate support for the strikers has surpassed 16,000 signatures, and the union has received almost 50 letters of support from faculty and departments across the 10 campuses.

Among those departments is the ethnic studies department at UC San Diego, where assistant professor Roy Pérez, said he teaches both undergraduate and graduate classes, including one with more than 400 students that usually has seven teaching assistants.

“UCSD could not meet the educational needs of so many students without the work of TAs,” Pérez said. “TAs' working conditions should be a top financial investment if the UC system wants to sustain the quality of education it promises while pursuing record-breaking enrollment numbers.”

Nick Callen, a fourth-year undergrad at UC San Diego, said two of his classes have been indefinitely canceled as the strike continues. One of his professors has gone on with business as usual, not mentioning the strike or changing classes.

“I am a little concerned just because it’s close to the end of the quarter,” Callen said of his disrupted classes. “It’s like we’re on hold until we hear something back from the strike. … It is really stressful, but I’m glad that they’re doing it.”

Amina Hearns, a fourth-year UC Riverside student, tutor represented by the UAW and the chair of the UC Student Assn., said there’s a divide between undergraduates in humanities, arts and social sciences who support the strike and students in math and science who tend to be less supportive. She said the divide can be attributed to misinformation from the administration and some of their professors.

“They try forcing this grad students versus undergraduate students,” she said. “Like ‘Look, they’re not striking and not grading your work and that’s why you’re behind.’ And that’s not true at all. The fact that they’re not reading your work is because they’re not getting the demands that they need.”

Teamsters, the union representing drivers and other workers, notified UPS drivers in southern and northern California that they have the right to honor the picket line and not deliver packages to campuses during the strike.

At UC Berkeley, strikers spoke Wednesday morning with workers from the International Union of Operating Engineers, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Laborers' International Union of North America. The union members agreed not to work at the construction site in solidarity with the strike.

The workers are demanding a base salary of $54,000 for all graduate student workers, child-care subsidies, enhanced healthcare for dependents, longer family leave, public transit passes and lower tuition costs for international scholars. The union said the workers earn an average current pay of about $24,000 a year.

UC has offered salary scale increases of 7% in the first year and 3% in each subsequent year for teaching assistants and tutors, and increases for postdoctoral scholars of 8% the first year, 5% the second year and 3% in subsequent years. UC said pay increases would amount to up to 17%, depending on the union.

Between his four-year fellowship and a guaranteed job doing medical education research for the school, Tafari is able to cover the tuition and fees for his program, but because his fellowship is over in June, he said he'll have to pay about $40,000 a year to finish his degree.

""If you're undocumented, if you're poor and an international student, if you don't come from generational wealth, the odds of you being able to get a graduate degree is slim to none,"" he said. That ""really makes it so that we have fewer of the best and brightest here, doing the quality research that can transform our society to something that we all can be proud of.""

Ryder Cup Europe said in a statement that Stenson, who had played on the team five times in his career, is now not “able to fulfill certain contractual obligations” and it is “not possible for him to continue” as its captain. The position — which is one of the highest honors in the world of golf — will be filled “in due course.” While the Europeans would obviously like to fill this position sooner rather than later, the next Ryder Cup isn’t set to kick off until Sept. 25, 2023 in Rome. Who will replace Henrik Stenson as Europe’s captain? Even though multiple Ryder Cup players have left for LIV Golf — including Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Sergio Garcia — there are several notable ones left who could fill Stenson’s shoes in 2023. Padraig Harrington Team Europe hasn’t had a repeat captain in three decades, but Padraig Harrington would be an easy move to replace Stenson next year. Harrington led the Europeans last year in their 19-9 loss to the United States at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. He’s also played on six Ryder Cup teams himself, including four winning ones, so he clearly knows what it takes on that front. The six-time PGA Tour winner is an easy option if Team Europe wants a quick fix. Thomas Bjørn Again, like Harrington, Thomas Bjørn is a fairly straightforward option here. Bjørn is already a vice-captain for the 2023 team, and he just led Europe to a dominant 17.5-10.5 win as their captain in France in 2018 — which automatically gives him a leg up on Harrington. Giving Bjørn a promotion back into the captain's seat would be another very easy move for Europe. Rory McIlroy With two easy, safe picks out of the way, it’s time for a fun one — and one that would make a big statement amid the sport’s battle with LIV Golf. Rory McIlroy, one of the loudest opponents of the Saudi Arabian-backed venture, could easily step up and be a playing captain for Europe next fall. Europe has never had a playing captain in the Ryder Cup, but McIlroy would undoubtedly be an excellent fit. And, his blatant opposition to LIV Golf would be an extra jab at Stenson and others as they make the jump over. McIlroy is gearing up for his seventh Ryder Cup appearance in 2023, so he’s no stranger to the competition. He holds a 4-2 record in the biennial event, too. And, while majors seem to keep slipping out of his reach, McIlroy is playing some of the best golf in his career right now. McIlroy is ranked No. 3 in the Official World Golf Rankings, his highest spot since 2020, and he has two wins so far this season on the PGA Tour. He finished inside the top-10 in all four majors this year, including a runner-up finish at The Masters and a third-place finish last week at the British Open. McIlroy is already going to be a key piece to Europe’s team in Rome. Why not just make him the captain, too? Luke Donald Luke Donald is another name that should be in the mix for Europe. The four-time Ryder Cup player has served as a vice-captain for the team twice now, and he was very adamant about wanting the job in 2023 back when Stenson was first announced. Donald said he “thought I had a chance this time,” and he was “disappointed personally that I didn’t get the nod.” The 44-year-old won six times on the European Tour and held the No. 1 spot in the world back in 2012. He could easily slide in and replace Stenson. Honorable mentions With no timeline in place, it’s hard to know where the European Ryder Cup team will go here. Harrington, Bjørn, McIlroy and Donald seem like they would be great candidates, but they’re far from the only ones. Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie and Darren Clarke are all former captains that are still active on the PGA Tour Champions. There's no reason why they couldn't do it again. Robert Karlsson is Europe’s only other vice-captains from Whistling Straits who didn’t make the jump to LIV. Paul Lawrie has been in the mix for the job in the past, too.","

Though they have some time to figure it out, the European Ryder Cup team is suddenly without a captain.

on Wednesday morning ahead of his move to the controversial LIV Golf Invitational Series.

Ryder Cup Europe said in a statement that Stenson, who had played on the team five times in his career, is now not “able to fulfill certain contractual obligations” and it is “not possible for him to continue” as its captain. The position — which is one of the highest honors in the world of golf — will be filled “in due course.”

While the Europeans would obviously like to fill this position sooner rather than later, the next Ryder Cup isn’t set to kick off until Sept. 25, 2023 in Rome.

Who will replace Henrik Stenson as Europe’s captain?

Even though multiple Ryder Cup players have left for LIV Golf — including Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Sergio Garcia — there are several notable ones left who could fill Stenson’s shoes in 2023.

Padraig Harrington

Team Europe hasn’t had a repeat captain in three decades, but Padraig Harrington would be an easy move to replace Stenson next year.

Harrington led the Europeans last year in their 19-9 loss to the United States at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. He’s also played on six Ryder Cup teams himself, including four winning ones, so he clearly knows what it takes on that front.

The six-time PGA Tour winner is an easy option if Team Europe wants a quick fix.

Thomas Bjørn

Again, like Harrington, Thomas Bjørn is a fairly straightforward option here.

Bjørn is already a vice-captain for the 2023 team, and he just led Europe to a dominant 17.5-10.5 win as their captain in France in 2018 — which automatically gives him a leg up on Harrington.

Giving Bjørn a promotion back into the captain's seat would be another very easy move for Europe.

Rory McIlroy

With two easy, safe picks out of the way, it’s time for a fun one — and one that would make a big statement amid the sport’s battle with LIV Golf.

Rory McIlroy, one of the loudest opponents of the Saudi Arabian-backed venture, could easily step up and be a playing captain for Europe next fall.

Europe has never had a playing captain in the Ryder Cup, but McIlroy would undoubtedly be an excellent fit. And, his blatant opposition to LIV Golf would be an extra jab at Stenson and others as they make the jump over.

McIlroy is gearing up for his seventh Ryder Cup appearance in 2023, so he’s no stranger to the competition. He holds a 4-2 record in the biennial event, too. And, while majors seem to keep slipping out of his reach, McIlroy is playing some of the best golf in his career right now.

McIlroy is ranked No. 3 in the Official World Golf Rankings, his highest spot since 2020, and he has two wins so far this season on the PGA Tour. He finished inside the top-10 in all four majors this year, including a runner-up finish at The Masters and a third-place finish last week at the British Open.

McIlroy is already going to be a key piece to Europe’s team in Rome. Why not just make him the captain, too?

Luke Donald

Luke Donald is another name that should be in the mix for Europe.

The four-time Ryder Cup player has served as a vice-captain for the team twice now, and he was very adamant about wanting the job in 2023 back when Stenson was first announced. Donald said he “thought I had a chance this time,” and he was “disappointed personally that I didn’t get the nod.”

The 44-year-old won six times on the European Tour and held the No. 1 spot in the world back in 2012. He could easily slide in and replace Stenson.

Honorable mentions

With no timeline in place, it’s hard to know where the European Ryder Cup team will go here. Harrington, Bjørn, McIlroy and Donald seem like they would be great candidates, but they’re far from the only ones.

Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie and Darren Clarke are all former captains that are still active on the PGA Tour Champions. There's no reason why they couldn't do it again.

Robert Karlsson is Europe’s only other vice-captains from Whistling Straits who didn’t make the jump to LIV. Paul Lawrie has been in the mix for the job in the past, too.

Every museum is a time machine if you allow it to be, and I very much did. And do. Always. I was given access to the Hall’s research area, a spellbinding backroom full of what seemed like 100 times the material on display to the public.

Among the items preserved was a pair of game-worn baseball spikes of indeterminate size, packed carefully in a box. The shoes were made of crusty leather atop a hard sole, with long (scary) metal spikes attached. They looked like perhaps a primitive gardening tool, but certainly not athletic footwear. It was impossible to look at them and not think: Somebody played major league baseball in these things? Likewise, there were many pictures of my uncle in full uniform, with a tiny mitt stuffed over the fingers of his left hand, barely enlarging it – a wardrobe item designed only marginally to enhance the fielder’s ability to catch balls, and more practically to protect his hand should any catching occur.

These images returned to conscious thought this week in the roiling aftermath of Aaron Judge ’s 62 nd home run Tuesday night in Arlington, Texas. Not roiling as to the significance of the moment, or its emotional purity – 62 home runs in a single MLB season is a milestone deserving of sanctity and joy and Judge is a manifestly great – dare one say Ruthian? – baseball player. As ever when it comes to cherished sports (or uncherished sports records, but single season home runs is just about as cherished as it gets), the unvarnished celebration of this moment abated quickly and attention was turned aggressively to comparing it to the marks it surpassed, and those that it did not.","

""This small gesture could not possibly express the level of gratitude and appreciation we all have for the men and women on the frontlines of the pandemic, and the care they provide each and every day,"" Shamberg said in a media release accompanying the event. ""We are here today to remind our frontline caregivers that even though they may no longer hear 'healthcare heroes"" wherever they go, what they've done throughout the pandemic is nothing short of heroic.""

If approved, the increase would result in a monthly $6.94 hike, phased in over two years, in the average bill, according to information from Michael D. Griffith, a CPA with Griffith & Associates hired by Shady Spring Public Service District (PSD). Representatives from Shady Spring PSD attended a Raleigh County Commission meeting Tuesday morning to discuss their plans for a rate increase with commissioners. This is the first step in a rate increase process expected to take roughly four months, which requires the approval of the Shady Spring PSD Board and the Raleigh County Commission. A portion of the rate increase is being used to pay for the Glen White Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade project totaling about $8.64 million. Griffith said the rate increase is also necessary to cover rising operational cost. For fiscal year 2022, ending June 30, 2022, Griffith said the Shady Spring PSD lost $262,000. With no rate increase, he said that figure is expected to be $413,000 this fiscal year. The proposed rate increase would raise customers' bill by 17.7 percent. According to data from the West Virginia Public Service Commission, the minimum bill for Shady Spring PSD customers is $22.97 and the average bill is $34.71. If approved, Griffith said the first rate increase will likely go into effect in June 2023, the second in January 2024 and the third when the water plant project is complete, which will likely be toward the end of 2024. For phase one, the minimum bill for customers will go up by $1.78 a month, for phase 2 it will increase by $1.69 a month, and the final increase will be $1.12 a month for a total overall increase of $4.59 a month. For the average customer, who uses roughly 3,400 gallons of water a month, in phase one bills will increase by $2.69 a month, for phase two the increase is $2.55 a month, and the final increase is $1.70 a month or a total overall increase of $6.94 a month. Story continues Griffith said the majority of the rate increase is to accommodate rising operational costs as the water plant project is mostly being paid for by grants. Over 50 percent of the Glen White Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade project is being paid for with grants including $1 million from the Raleigh County Commission, a $2 million congressionally directed spending grant, a $400,000 match from the state for the congressional funds, $1.5 million from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a $1.5 million WV DEP principal forgiveness loan. James Kelsh, an attorney with Bowles Rice out of Charleston, said the DEP principal forgiveness loan will not need to be repaid. He added that the rate increase will cover the remaining $2.24 million needed for the project. Shady Spring PSD will initially fund this portion of the project with a loan from the WV DEP Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which will need to be repaid. ""We got $2.2 million worth of loan and $6.4 million of grant on this project. That's a great mix of grants to loans,"" Kelsh said. ""We're very proud of the funding package we've been able to assemble."" He added that should bids for the project come in over budget, the WV Water Development Authority has $250 million set aside for bid overruns, which means that money will not have to come from customers via another rate increase. According to information presented to commissioners, upgrades to the Glen White plant are necessary due to the age of some equipment as well as the increase in the number of customers. ""That facility has served Shady Spring PSC very well, but right now it's hydraulically at its maximum level that it can receive wastewater under its permit and it's got some older facilities that were built in '84 and '99,"" Kelsh said. ""The project is badly needed so that we can continue to serve our existing customers and also be in a position to continue to grow."" According to plans submitted to the commission, if all goes as planned, Shady Spring PSD anticipates that it will put its project for water plant upgrades out to bid in mid-May with the hope that a contractor will be selected and work will begin by October. The project is expected to take a little over a year to complete with October 2024 as the estimated completion date. Raleigh County Commissioner Dave Tolliver asked whether the proposed upgrades to the Glen White plant would be able to handle a planned sewer project in the Grandview area as well as the incorporation of homes on Country Road Estates into the Shady Spring PSC system. Shady Spring PSC General Manager Jerry Smith said the Glen White plant upgrades would be able to handle both issues Tolliver addressed. Smith said an application for a $4 million grant has been filed with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Grandview Sewer Project. He added that only about 10 homes on Country Road Estates are on their system; the others are on septic systems. Smith said incorporating the homes on septic systems will have to be a separate project. Kelsh said funding for the rate increase is also needed to cover statutory and bond obligations. Griffith said new state statute requires public utilities to set aside 12 and a half percent of its operation maintenance expenses every year in a working capital account to be used for emergency and unexpected purposes. ""If we weren't doing this project, I would be before you for an increase for them to become compliant with their current obligations,"" Griffith said. ""In fact, this project is a relatively small increase for the project because of all the grants and the county commission's help."" Having presented the proposed rate increase to the commission, the proposal will next be sent to the Shady Spring PSD Board on March 15 for a first reading and then again on April 17 for a public hearing and second and final reading. If the proposal is approved on the second reading, it will be sent to the Raleigh County Commission, which will have 45 days to make a decision on the rate increase. If the commission approves that rate increase, the rates proposed will go into effect.","

Over 50 percent of the Glen White Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade project is being paid for with grants including $1 million from the Raleigh County Commission, a $2 million congressionally directed spending grant, a $400,000 match from the state for the congressional funds, $1.5 million from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a $1.5 million WV DEP principal forgiveness loan.

James Kelsh, an attorney with Bowles Rice out of Charleston, said the DEP principal forgiveness loan will not need to be repaid.

He added that the rate increase will cover the remaining $2.24 million needed for the project. Shady Spring PSD will initially fund this portion of the project with a loan from the WV DEP Clean Water State Revolving Fund, which will need to be repaid.

""We got $2.2 million worth of loan and $6.4 million of grant on this project. That's a great mix of grants to loans,"" Kelsh said. ""We're very proud of the funding package we've been able to assemble.""

He added that should bids for the project come in over budget, the WV Water Development Authority has $250 million set aside for bid overruns, which means that money will not have to come from customers via another rate increase.

According to information presented to commissioners, upgrades to the Glen White plant are necessary due to the age of some equipment as well as the increase in the number of customers.

""That facility has served Shady Spring PSC very well, but right now it's hydraulically at its maximum level that it can receive wastewater under its permit and it's got some older facilities that were built in '84 and '99,"" Kelsh said.

""The project is badly needed so that we can continue to serve our existing customers and also be in a position to continue to grow.""

According to plans submitted to the commission, if all goes as planned, Shady Spring PSD anticipates that it will put its project for water plant upgrades out to bid in mid-May with the hope that a contractor will be selected and work will begin by October.

The project is expected to take a little over a year to complete with October 2024 as the estimated completion date.

Raleigh County Commissioner Dave Tolliver asked whether the proposed upgrades to the Glen White plant would be able to handle a planned sewer project in the Grandview area as well as the incorporation of homes on Country Road Estates into the Shady Spring PSC system.

Shady Spring PSC General Manager Jerry Smith said the Glen White plant upgrades would be able to handle both issues Tolliver addressed.

Smith said an application for a $4 million grant has been filed with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Grandview Sewer Project.

He added that only about 10 homes on Country Road Estates are on their system; the others are on septic systems. Smith said incorporating the homes on septic systems will have to be a separate project.

Kelsh said funding for the rate increase is also needed to cover statutory and bond obligations.

Griffith said new state statute requires public utilities to set aside 12 and a half percent of its operation maintenance expenses every year in a working capital account to be used for emergency and unexpected purposes.

""If we weren't doing this project, I would be before you for an increase for them to become compliant with their current obligations,"" Griffith said. ""In fact, this project is a relatively small increase for the project because of all the grants and the county commission's help.""

Having presented the proposed rate increase to the commission, the proposal will next be sent to the Shady Spring PSD Board on March 15 for a first reading and then again on April 17 for a public hearing and second and final reading.

If the proposal is approved on the second reading, it will be sent to the Raleigh County Commission, which will have 45 days to make a decision on the rate increase.

If the commission approves that rate increase, the rates proposed will go into effect.

The latest three year period has also seen an excellent 56% overall rise in EPS, aided somewhat by its short-term performance.

The campaign, led by former Evanston Alderwoman Robin Rue Simmons, gained momentum in June 2019 after the Illinois legislature approved marijuana use for recreational purposes. The Evanston City Council committed the first $10 million in cannabis tax revenue it would receive to the reparations effort, estimating the marijuana tax would generate between $500,000 and $750,000 annually, The Washington Post reported. But only one marijuana dispensary opened, as opposed to the three the city had anticipated, bringing just a fraction of the expected tax revenue. Although there are still 106 people on the waiting list and hundreds more behind them, city officials claim that these early setbacks have not dimmed their hopes for the Evanston Restorative Housing Program to address its decades-long housing discrimination rather than slavery reparations. The Evanston City Council claimed that about 400 Black people would benefit from the $25,000 housing voucher program, which municipal authorities refer to as the first phase of the Evanston Reparations Committee efforts. Most Black Evanston residents, who are renters, cannot use the money since it can only go toward purchasing or fixing a home. According to census data, only 35 percent of Black households there own their homes, compared to 65 percent of their white counterparts, The Post reported. Many housing program detractors wanted to offer Blacks who qualify unrestricted cash payments, but administrators opted against it because they believed the money could be taxed. The program’s organizers acknowledge that at least five people have passed away before receiving their promised compensation.","

The Evanston City Council committed the first $10 million in cannabis tax revenue it would receive to the reparations effort, estimating the marijuana tax would generate between $500,000 and $750,000 annually, The Washington Post reported.

But only one marijuana dispensary opened, as opposed to the three the city had anticipated, bringing just a fraction of the expected tax revenue.

Although there are still 106 people on the waiting list and hundreds more behind them, city officials claim that these early setbacks have not dimmed their hopes for the Evanston Restorative Housing Program to address its decades-long housing discrimination rather than slavery reparations.

The Evanston City Council claimed that about 400 Black people would benefit from the $25,000 housing voucher program, which municipal authorities refer to as the first phase of the Evanston Reparations Committee efforts. Most Black Evanston residents, who are renters, cannot use the money since it can only go toward purchasing or fixing a home. According to census data, only 35 percent of Black households there own their homes, compared to 65 percent of their white counterparts, The Post reported.

Many housing program detractors wanted to offer Blacks who qualify unrestricted cash payments, but administrators opted against it because they believed the money could be taxed.

The program’s organizers acknowledge that at least five people have passed away before receiving their promised compensation.

Invesco's director of macro research Ben Jones said the UK's volatility would remain a key focus for global markets.

""The hope is that Jeremy Hunt is a more stable set of hands,"" he said, pointing to the ""relief rally"" for the pound which was up 0.75% at $1.1257, and in the UK gilt markets.

""But we still need to see some follow through... and we still don't know whether Liz Truss will still be there at lunchtime or the end of the month"".

Yields in British 10-year gilts fell 27 bps to 4.06% in morning trading, while the 2-year dropped 12 bps to 3.75%..

Other European markets benefited too. The German 10-year Bund yield was down 9 basis points (bps) to 2.27% having hit 2.423% last week, its highest since August 2011.

That was also despite two key ECB policymakers making the case over the weekend for cutting the bank's balance sheet and after U.S. inflation data on Friday had bolstered bets on another aggressive rate hike from the Federal Reserve.
