Good morning, New Port Richey. Eighty-three today with showers and isolated storms, and that is the last of the rain: Monday through Thursday are all dry on the forecast. The flood warnings and coastal advisories of the past week have all expired, and what is left of Isaias is a post-tropical low over Alabama, down to 29 mph from a peak of 120.

The city is moving ahead with a $900,000 skate park, built on the same ground as the one it replaces at the Recreation and Aquatic Center. Public comment on the design has closed, with stadium seating and more shade still in the conversation, and a four-month engineering phase comes before anything is knocked down. The city hopes to open it in 2027, on a project that has been on the books since about 2017.

Chasco K-8's football game against Gulf Middle, already moved once by weather, has been called off for good. Both Gulf High volleyball teams beat K-Tech on Friday night. And K-Tech Athletics is asking people to eat at Beef O'Brady's on Monday to back the Krakens.

The City Moves Ahead on a $900,000 Skate Park
Bay News 9 (Pasco)
New Port Richey is moving ahead with a $900,000 skate park, to be built on the site of the existing one at the New Port Richey Recreation and Aquatic Center. The public comment period on the design has closed, with stadium seating and more shade still under consideration, and a four-month engineering phase comes before demolition and construction. The city hopes to open it in 2027. The project has been in the works since about 2017 and was shelved during the pandemic.

Since March 2020, silver has returned about 402%. The silver miners returned 445%.

That gap is the leverage our research team focuses on. When silver rises, a producer's net asset value can rise much faster, and share prices tend to follow. It works in both directions, and a mine is only as good as the company running it.

The Ultimate Silver Playbook shows how the team separates the miners worth owning from the rest, and which silver stocks are on its watchlist now. It's free.
