HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii surfer Mike Morita woke up early and planned to get a few waves in before going to Easter service with his wife. Morita, 58, headed to his regular spot locals call Kewalos, known for reliable waves over shallow reef near the mouth of a harbor not far from downtown Honolulu on the island of Oahu’s south shore. “The water was crystal clear,” he said, noting how it was already bright at 6:15 a.m.He was lying on his stomach on his board after riding a few waves when he felt a bite on his right leg.“The sheer strength of it, I knew right away it was a shark,” he said Wednesday from his hospital bed. “In that critical moment, I went to God.” He prayed for the shark to free his leg as the pressure intensified and the creature thrashed about. “I kind of surprised myself that I went straight into prayer,” he recalled. But he didn’t pray to stay alive: “The whole time, I never thought I was gonna die.” “God wanted me to fight, so I started beefing,” he said,...

Review: A showcase for William Prince’s noble baritone

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:57:01 GMT

“Stand in the Joy,” William Prince (Six Shooter Records)Singer-songwriter William Prince played a couple of songs at a recent solo set in Nashville, Tennessee. Looking out at an admiring audience, he allowed himself a slight smile.“I’m not going to lie,” he said. “This is going about as well as I hoped.”Career momentum is building for Prince, a Canadian fluent in Americana. He has gone from performing in Manitoba coffee shops to making his debut in February at the Grand Ole Opry. Now comes a fine new album, “Stand in the Joy,” which showcases his noble baritone and balladry.Built like a logger, Prince has a disarmingly warm, gentle delivery so commanding he need not raise his voice and rarely does. He and ace producer Dave Cobb keep tempos modest and accompaniment uncluttered, with acoustic guitar the instrumental anchor.Prince, raised on a Peguis First Nation reservation, draws on his roots for material. He sings about the rumbling reaper, fending off heartbreak with drinks and a s...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Republican-dominated Florida Legislature on Thursday approved a ban on abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, a proposal supported by GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis as he prepares for an expected presidential run.DeSantis is expected to sign the bill into law. Florida currently prohibits abortions after 15 weeks.A six-week ban would give DeSantis a key political victory among Republican primary voters as he prepares to launch a presidential candidacy built on his national brand as a conservative standard bearer.The policy would also have wider implications for abortion access throughout the South in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last year overturning Roe v. Wade and leaving decisions about abortion access to states. Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi have banned abortion at all stages of pregnancy, while Georgia forbids the procedure after cardiac activity can be detected, which is around six weeks.Democrats and abortion...
