Canada’s privacy commissioner says LinkedIn has paused training its artificial intelligence models on data from Canadian users. Philippe Dufresne says his office was informed of the pause by the tech platform, which he had reached out to after media reports suggested LinkedIn was training AI models with data from Canadian users it had not informed of the practice first. Dufresne says he has requested information from LinkedIn about the company’s training practices as well as how it obtains consent from its members. He says LinkedIn believed it had taken a “privacy protective” approach to training its AI models but will now work to ensure it has met the requirements of privacy laws before restarting the practice. Dufresne says even when personal information is publicly accessible, it is subject to privacy laws and must be adequately protected. LinkedIn suspended using U.K. user data to train its artificial intelligence models in September, after Britain’s information commissioner raised similar concerns.

Kendrick Lamar surprises with new album 'GNX' LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kendrick Lamar gave music listeners an early holiday present with a new album. The Grammy winner released his sixth studio album “GNX” on Friday. The 12-track project is the rapper’s first release since 2022’s “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.” Lamar’s new album comes just months after his rap battle with Drake. The rap megastar will headline February's Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans. The 37-year-old has experienced massive success since his debut album “good kid, m.A.A.d city” in 2012. Since then, he’s accumulated 17 Grammy wins and became the first non-classical, non-jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize. NBA memo to players urges increased vigilance regarding home security following break-ins MIAMI (AP) — The NBA is urging its players to take additional precautions to secure their homes following reports of recent high-profile burglaries of dwellings owned by Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis and Kansas City Chiefs teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo sent to team officials, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Ancient meets modern as a new subway in Greece showcases archaeological treasures THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, is opening a new subway system, blending ancient archaeological treasures with modern transit technology like driverless trains and platform screen doors. The project, which began in 2003, uncovered over 300,000 artifacts, including a Roman-era thoroughfare and Byzantine relics, many of which are now displayed in its 13 stations. Despite delays caused by preserving these findings, the inaugural line has been completed, with a second line set to open next year. Conor McGregor must pay $250K to woman who says he raped her, civil jury rules LONDON (AP) — A civil jury in Ireland has awarded more than $250,000 to a woman who says she was raped by mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor in a Dublin hotel penthouse after a night of heavy partying. The jury on Friday awarded Nikita Hand in her lawsuit that claimed McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in 2018. The lawsuit says the assault left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor testified that he never forced her to do anything and that Hand fabricated her allegations after the two had consensual sex. McGregor says he will appeal the verdict. At least 19 people are sick in Minnesota from ground beef tied to E. coli recall U.S. health officials say at least 19 people in Minnesota have been sickened by E. coli poisoning tied to a national recall of more than 167,000 pounds of potentially tainted ground beef. Detroit-based Wolverine Packing Co. recalled the meat sent to restaurants nationwide. Minnesota state agriculture officials reported multiple illnesses and found that a sample of the product tested positive for E. coli, which can cause life-threatening infections. No illnesses have been reported outside of Minnesota. Symptoms of E. coli poisoning include fever, vomiting, diarrhea and signs of dehydration. Actor Jonathan Majors’ ex-girlfriend drops assault and defamation lawsuit against once-rising star NEW YORK (AP) — Jonathan Majors’ ex-girlfriend has dropped her assault and defamation lawsuit against the once-rising Hollywood star after reaching a settlement. Lawyers for Majors and Grace Jabbari agreed to dismiss the case with prejudice Thursday. Jabbari is a British dancer who had accused Majors of subjecting her to escalating incidents of physical and verbal abuse during their relationship. Representatives for Majors didn’t respond to emails seeking comment Friday. Jabbari’s lawyer said the suit was “favorably settled” and her client is moving on with “her head held high.” Majors was convicted of misdemeanor assault and harassment last December and sentenced to a yearlong counseling program. Hyundai, Kia recall over 208,000 electric vehicles to fix problem that can cause loss of power DETROIT (AP) — Hyundai and Kia are recalling over 208,000 electric vehicles to fix a pesky problem that can cause loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. The recalls cover more than 145,000 Hyundai and Genesis vehicles including the 2022 through 2024 Ioniq 5, the 2023 through 2025 Ioniq 6, GV60 and GV70, and the 2023 and 2024 G80. Also included are nearly 63,000 Kia EV 6 vehicles from 2022 through 2024. The affiliated Korean automakers say in government documents that a transistor in a charging control unit can be damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery. Dealers will inspect and replace the control unit and a fuse if needed. They also will update software. Christmas TV movies are in their Taylor Swift era, with two Swift-inspired films airing this year Two of the new holiday movies coming to TV this season have a Taylor Swift connection that her fans would have no problem decoding. “Christmas in the Spotlight” debuts Saturday on Lifetime. It stars Jessica Lord as the world’s biggest pop star and Laith Wallschleger, playing a pro football player, who meet and fall in love, not unlike Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. On Nov. 30, Hallmark will air “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.” Instead of a nod to Swift, it’s an ode to family traditions and bonding, like rooting for a sports team. Hallmark’s headquarters is also in Kansas City. Top football recruit Bryce Underwood changes commitment to Michigan instead of LSU, AP source says ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Top football recruit Bryce Underwood has flipped to Michigan after pledging to play at LSU. That's according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the recruit’s plans to join the Wolverines. Underwood pinned a post on his Instagram account, showing a post in which On3.com reported that he has committed to Michigan. The 6-foot-3 quarterback played at Belleville High School about 15 miles east of Michigan's campus, and told LSU nearly a year ago he intended to enroll there. Emperor penguin released at sea 20 days after waddling onto Australian beach MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The only emperor penguin known to have swum from Antarctica to Australia has been released at sea 20 days after he waddled ashore on a popular tourist beach. The adult male was found on Nov. 1 on sand dunes in temperate southwest Australia about 2,200 miles north of the Antarctic coast. He was released Wednesday from a boat that traveled several hours from Western Australia state's most southerly city of Albany. His caregiver Carol Biddulph wasn't sure at first if the penguin would live. She said a mirror was important to his rehabilitation because they provide a sense of company. Biddulph said: “They’re social birds and he stands next to the mirror most of the time.”

All Nippon Airways to Launch Operations at JFK’s Innovative Terminal 6 in 2026

Children across the US will likely spend the coming days and weeks saying goodbye to an AI-powered friend named . The small dog-sized —which used a and expressive features to hold open-ended conversations with children—will soon be taken offline due to its creator’s financial struggles. The decision to abandon the $799 product four years after its release, , has left some customers bemoaning the loss of an artificial friend and others angrily demanding refunds. Videos of confused, crying children saying goodbye to their companion flooding social media. But Moxie’s sudden demise isn’t entirely unique. It’s part of a larger trend of companies cutting off software support for hardware to cut costs. In an economy where , powerful devices can transform into worthless scrap overnight. Moxie was released by tech-firm Embodied in 2020. The robot, intended for use among kids between 5-10 years old, is 15 inches tall and has a human-like animated face that can display a range of human-like emotions. It can play games like Simon Says and tell jokes and brain teasers but it’s also used by many to engage in meandering conversations. The robot uses speech recognition to listen to the speaker, face recognition to analyze the speaker’s emotions, and a large language model to carry out conversations. That last part requires constant connection to a cloud-based AI system to work. Embodied announcing it would shut down operations due to “financial challenges.” Without the company there to pay for Moxie’s AI capabilities, its core functionality will go offline. For users who have come to rely on communicating regularly with the robot it will seem as if their close companion has essentially died or simply ceased to exist. Parents and other Moxie owners took to following the news to share videos of people saying what might be their final goodbyes to the machine. Several of those videos show as their parents try to explain to them why their companion will no longer speak with them. “When they turn you off, should I just keep you on my shelf?” one Moxie owner named Heather asked the robot on TikTok. “I think it would be nice to keep me on your shelf, that way I’ll always be close by, that way we can keep chatting and have fun together,” Moxie responds. After a pause Moxie’s owner tells the robot, “I love you.” “I love you too,” Moxie says with an abrupt smile. “Heather, your kinship and friendship mean a lot to me, I’m grateful for all the fun chats we’ve had together. Is there a special moment or memory you would like to share with me before we say goodbye?” In a final Embodied said it was “exploring options to keep Moxie operational for as long as possible” but noted that service would likely end in the coming days. The company said it is also looking into ways another company could essentially adopt Moxie though it acknowledged that “outcome is uncertain.” When reached for comment, an Embodied spokesperson directed to this . Pirjanian said the “catastrophic” setback was the result of a key investor who failed to provide necessary funding at the last minute. “We cannot overstate our regret that circumstances have come to this,” Pirjanian said. “We had every reason to believe that a critical financing round would be completed, allowing us to continue improving Moxie, scaling operations, and ultimately serving even more children in need of emotional support and learning opportunities.” In the days since the announcement, Pirjanian said members of the Moxi community have come forward with their own suggestions for how to keep the service running. Some parents have proposed higher subscription fees “far above” anything Embodied had considered implementing. Others have suggested open sourcing Moxie’s underlying technology and some have even allegedly suggested purchasing the company outright. “Our paths forward have been disrupted in ways we never imagined, and we recognize many of you are caught in the fallout,” the CEO added. Moxie’s impeeding shutdown is just the latest case of companies abruptly ending support for robots and other hardware that customers have come to integrate in their daily lives. In September, Amazon for its “Astro” 20 pound wheeled robot just eight months after it first released. The 20 pound robot would “patrol” the area with a camera and integrated Amazon Echo smart display. Now it’s nothing more than a hefty pile of high-tech scrap. Amazon told and provide a $300 credit. That move came months after Spotify controversially cut off support for its , a 4.5 inch device that users could attach to their car to access the music streaming platform. Though niche, the product was praised by many users with older vehicles that did not have like Apple or Google carplay. Spotify had but . Frustrated users earlier this year alleging Spotify misled customers by selling them a product that was soon to be obsolete. That suit has . Each of those cases are consequences of a much broader shift away from consumers actually fully owning their own products outright. Robots, fitness trackers, , and other hardware once considered “products” are increasingly services. In this relationship, companies essentially lease hardware to customers in exchange for regular subscription services that grant access to core software. This is particularly true for AI-integrated products like Moxie which rely on data centers to power core functionality. Everytime a question is posed to Moxie or even OpenAI’s ChatGPT, computation occurs that costs the company running the product money to perform. That cost is then often passed on to the consumer in the form of a subscription. All of this can seem to work relatively well until it doesn’t. Since customers no longer own the software on these devices, they are beholden to companies to continue supporting the services even when it’s not in their own financial interest to do so. That can lead to concerning outcomes, especially as healthcare tech and other more high-stakes products follow this mode. In one such case, a woman suffering from chronic epilepsy had to have an after the company behind it ran out of funding. The device had from three per month to none. “The company was responsible for the creation of a new person,” a group of ethicists . “As soon as the device was explanted, that person was terminated.” Concerned consumer advocates are pushing regulators to do more to prevent possible scenarios like this from occurring in the future. Earlier this year, a group of activists including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, iFixit, and the Center for Economic Justice, (FTC) calling on the agency to look into so-called “software tethering,” which refers broadly to the practice of tying hardware usability to external software. The groups argue companies should guarantee minimum support times for hardware products to help prevent users from suddenly being saddled with useful tech. They also said companies should ensure customers that their product’s for functionality would still work even if internet connectivity fails. But that would likely prove hard if not impossible to implement with AI-based devices like Moxie that need to connect to servers to process queries. “While the FTC has taken some limited actions with regard to this issue, a lack of clarity and enforcement has led to an ecosystem where consumers cannot reliably count on the connected products they buy to last,” the groups wrote in their letter.Gabriel mimics Gyokeres in cheeky goal celebration in Arsenal win over Sporting in Champions League

Twelve electric rotors whirring, a van-size aircraft lifted vertically into a bright sky and cruised smoothly over an artichoke field. The 10-minute test flight in California, controlled from a nearby trailer, took Archer Aviation a small step closer to a future imagined for decades by dreamers, engineers and frustrated commuters: a time when it’s possible to soar over traffic in an air taxi. Archer is aiming to launch its first commercially operated flights with a pilot and passengers within a year in Abu Dhabi. Credit: Archer via AP Archer’s electrically powered mash-up of a helicopter and an aeroplane is among the first competitors seeking to earn certification to carry passengers under a category of aircraft envisioned under new rules by the US Federal Aviation Administration. Years after the world watched TV character George Jetson zip to work in his airborne cartoon commuter, the flying taxi may be on the cusp of reality. Archer is aiming to launch its first commercially operated flights with a pilot and passengers within a year in Abu Dhabi. A competitor, Joby Aviation, says it is aiming to launch passenger service in Dubai as soon as late 2025. Advancements in batteries and other technologies required for the futuristic tilt-rotor craft are moving so fast that they could soon move beyond the novelty stage and into broader commercial use in a matter of years. Both companies are laying plans to operate at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. “They have created these amazing new aircraft that really 10 or 15 years ago would’ve been unimaginable,” said Roger Connor, curator of the vertical flight collection at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum. “I think there’s something innately attractive about being able to leapfrog all of your terrestrial obstacles,” he said. “Who hasn’t wished that if you live in the suburbs that, you know, something could drop into your cul-de-sac and 15 minutes later you’re at the office.” Business success is by no means assured for these craft, called electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOLs. Scaling the industry from a novelty ride for the wealthy to a broadly available commuter option would take billions more in start-up money, executives said, including building out a network of takeoff and landing areas (called vertiports) and charging stations. It feels like the modern-day American Dream, where you can invent a technology and bring it to market even [if it’s] as crazy as what some people call flying cars. Some high-profile ventures have already faltered. A plan for air taxis to transport spectators around the Paris Olympics fizzled. And last month, Lilium, a German eVTOL company, announced it had filed for insolvency. Still, investors, including big names like Stellantis and Toyota, have poured money into Silicon Valley companies like Archer and Joby. Boeing and Airbus are developing their own versions. All are betting that quieter, greener and battery-powered aircraft can revolutionise the way people travel. Major US airlines including American, Delta, Southwest and United also are building relationships and planting seeds for deals with air taxi companies. “It feels like the modern-day American Dream, where you can invent a technology and actually bring it to market even [if it’s] as crazy as what some people call flying cars,” said Archer Aviation CEO Adam Goldstein. Congress included several provisions aimed at bolstering the growth of air taxis in 2024’s FAA reauthorisation bill. The industry got a major boost in the northern autumn, when the FAA released standards for pilot training and certification. US President-elect Donald Trump appears to be supportive. In a 2023 speech, he said: “Just as the United States led the automobile revolution in the last century, I want to ensure that America, not China, leads the revolution in air mobility.” Joby CEO JoeBen Bevirt said that, as the numbers of air taxis grew, they would become more accessible to the masses. But the multibillion-dollar question remains: Now that they’ve been built, can they be turned into a viable business? “Urban air mobility is the big prize for these firms,” said Connor. “But it’s also the hardest to implement.” On a recent morning, space heaters were blasting in what seemed like a vain attempt to warm the cavernous hangar at Salinas Municipal Airport that serves as the home for Archer’s four-passenger prototype aircraft, called Midnight. The morning’s test flight was scheduled for 7am, but shortly before the hour, it became clear that conditions were too windy. Each test flight requires specific weather to deliver the information the team is seeking, and on this day that meant winds must be less than 19km/h. There would be no pilot behind the controls the test; that will come later. It’s been programmed to autonomously fly a racetrack pattern above the agricultural fields near the airport. Its progress will be monitored by Archer’s own mission control, a team that includes a former US Air Force test pilot and several engineers, who sit in a nearby trailer. Shortly before 11am, the wind is just right. From a field across from the airport, a group of observers watches as the 12 rotors on the aircraft begin to spin, lifting the 2900 kilogram craft, which hovers for just a few moments before the rotors tilt from vertical into horizontal, and it zips over the landscape in flight mode. About 10 minutes and just over 22 kilometres later, Midnight turns back to the airport, hovers briefly as the rotors return to a vertical position and slowly touches down. About 37 kilometres from Archer’s operation in Salinas , Bevirt greets a visitor to Joby’s campus in Marina, California. The campus, based on a former army base, is not far from the Santa Cruz Mountains where Bevirt grew up. Over lunch, Bevirt talks about Joby’s plan to build out a network of air taxis and landing sites, starting with a few “nodes” and gradually expanding. He believes air taxis will one day revolutionise routine travel. Joby Aviation’s pre-production prototype aircraft. Credit: Joby Aviation “We had the transition from horses to railroads, and then from railroads to car,” said Bevirt. “And with each of those, it transformed our perception of distance and how far we could move in a day. And it allowed our cities to grow and to become more productive.” On a tour of Joby’s manufacturing facilities, Bevirt points to a corner where spools of carbon fibre material that will be “baked” into aircraft components. At one work station, a robotic arm blasts water against a component to test for flaws. There’s also a model skyport lounge, with glass walls and lounge chairs. The tour ends in a large hangar, home to three of Joby’s prototype aircraft, including the hydrogen-electric demonstrator craft that recently completed an 841 kilometre flight. Bevirt says ultimately what will drive a market for air taxi rides is the ability to avoid crushing highway commutes. “It won’t happen overnight,” Bevirt said, “but when it does, it will have really profound implications because it will allow us to change our relationship with space and time.” The Market Recap newsletter is a wrap of the day’s trading.

That's what one Chinese official suggested when anti-doping leaders were looking for answers for the doping scandal that cast a shadow over this year's Olympic swim meet. Earlier this year, reports that 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for a banned heart medication emerged. None were sanctioned because Chinese authorities determined the swimmers were contaminated by traces of the drug spread about a hotel kitchen. In a strange twist, the leader of China's anti-doping agency suggested this case could have been similar to one in which criminals were responsible for tainting noodles that were later eaten by another Chinese athlete who also tested positive for the drug. Athletes see climate change as threatening their sports and their health. Some are speaking up BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — Pragnya Mohan has been a professional triathlete for nearly a decade, but summers in her native India are now so hot that she can’t train there anymore. And she worries about a day when heat around the world kills her sport entirely. She was among athletes who spoke at the United Nations climate summit in Azerbaijan about the threat global warming poses to them, to fans and to sport itself. They described how extreme weather is making training and competing difficult or impossible. With billions of fans worldwide, some athletes and leagues are trying to get more people to care, and act, on climate change. Lionel Messi's former teammate Javier Mascherano close to becoming Inter Miami coach, AP source says Lionel Messi is on the cusp of reuniting with former Argentina national teammate Javier Mascherano with Inter Miami, this time as player and coach, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press. Multiple reports out of Argentina said Mascherano has already agreed to take over as coach at Inter Miami as the replacement for Gerardo “Tata” Martino — who stepped down citing personal reasons. Mascherano emerged as Inter Miami’s frontrunner earlier this week, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no decision has been revealed by the team.

The decision by Tesco, Musgrave and the BWG Group came after a woman who said Mr McGregor raped her won a civil claim for damages against him. Nikita Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a case at the High Court in the Irish capital. In a statement, a spokesman for Musgrave said: “Musgrave can confirm these products are no longer available to our store network.” The network includes SuperValu, Centra, Daybreak and Mace. A Tesco spokesperson said: “We can confirm that we are removing Proper No Twelve Whiskey from sale in Tesco stores and online.” A spokesperson for BWG Group said: “The products are no longer listed for distribution across our network of Spar, Eurospar, Mace, Londis and XL stores, including Appleby Westward which operates over 300 Spar stores in the south west of England.” It is understood that other retail outlets including Costcutter and Carry Out will also stop stocking products linked to Mr McGregor. He and some of his business partners sold their majority stake in the Proper Number Twelve Irish whiskey brand. He was reported to have been paid more than £103 million from the sale to Proximo Spirits in 2021. On Monday, a popular video game developer decided to pull content featuring the MMA fighter. The Irish athlete has featured in multiple video games, including voice-acting a character bearing his likeness in additional downloadable content in the Hitman series. Mr McGregor’s character featured as a target for the player-controlled assassin in the game. IO Interactive, the Danish developer and publisher of Hitman, said in a statement: “In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately. “We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications. “Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr McGregor from our storefronts starting today.” Last Friday, the High Court jury awarded damages amounting to 248,603.60 euros (around £206,000) to Ms Hand. Mr McGregor made no comment as he left court but later posted on social media that he intended to appeal against the decision.FOSTER CITY, Calif., Dec. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollomics Inc.

Fortinet Inc. stock underperforms Tuesday when compared to competitorsHot honey, brie & chorizo garlic bread recipe perfect for New Year's EveCompared to how they felt six years ago, Missoula residents are now a little more concerned about safety, cleanliness, lack of restrooms and crowds at parks, trails, open spaces or recreational facilities in the city. Also, it appears more people say off-leash dogs are a problem. That's according to surveys conducted of Missoula residents in 2018 and 2024, asking their opinions on a variety of topics related to public spaces managed by the Missoula Parks and Recreation Department. The 2024 survey was conducted by the University of Montana's Bureau of Business and Economic Research. It was statistically valid, meaning it represents an accurate slice of the city's adult demographics. The survey was presented to the city's parks and recreation board on Tuesday morning. "Safety, we assumed that was a growing issue for our community, largely because of phone calls and emails," said city Parks and Recreation Director Donna Gaukler, when asked if she was surprised by any of the findings. Gaukler said there's a difference between "real safety" and "perceived safety." She said that the city needs to work hard on addressing "real safety," as in making sure park facilities meet safety codes and addressing crime prevention through environmental design. She said the city also needs to work to address "perceived safety" by increasing education and awareness. "We need to do a better job of communicating how to be safe," Gaukler said. Bonner Park is a popular spot for pickup grass volleyball in Missoula. Most respondents, about 91%, said the city's top priority should be ensuring that parks, trails, open spaces and facilities are safe. Zac Covington, the city's open space program manager, was the city staffer who presented the report to the board. He noted that in 2018, the word "homeless" was not one of the top 50 words used by survey respondents. However, in 2024, the word "homeless" was one of the top four or five words that came up when they tallied all the words used by respondents. When asked what things they would emphasize to city staff, about 13% of respondents wrote down challenges or perceptions about homeless individuals. A trailhead sign on Waterworks Hill north of Missoula encourages hikers to leash their dogs and even provides leashes for those who don't have one. Dog owners can still take their pets off leash in the open space. Covington also said they compared the feelings of Missoula residents in 2024 to a national survey conducted by the National Parks and Recreation Association in 2023. About 27% of Missoula residents say they don't feel safe at a park, trail, open space or recreational facility, compared to 21% who feel the same way in the U.S. overall. Missoula residents are more likely to say they don't know about available parks and recreation programs and that the programs were too expensive. However, Missoula residents are less likely to say that parks and open space are too far from their house. About 15% of respondents said maintenance or cleanliness improvements were needed at a park, trail, open space or facility. "We need to get better at keeping parks really clean, which is hard with limited resources," Gaukler said. In 2018, about 18% of respondents said dogs off-leash were a problem. By 2024, that number had increased to about 33% of respondents. "What hasn't changed is challenges around dogs," Gaukler said. "Or I should say, dog owners managing their pets in parks and open spaces. That hasn't changed." More people in 2024 also said they found a lack of access to a restroom to be a problem. Covington said that 45% of respondents who have children said that programs offered by the Parks and Recreation Department were too expensive. At the same meeting, the board heard a presentation about how the city will be increasing fees for Parks and Recreation facility rentals. Ryan Applegate, the deputy director of programs and fiscal services for the Parks and Recreation Department, said fees will generally increase 5% to help offset increased costs. "A benefit of fees is the increased ability to serve more residents by providing a revenue stream," he said. "Fees allow increased value or quality of services." He said fees also reduce conflict by allowing users to reserve facilities, which means two different groups don't show up to use the same space at the same time. The fee increases are necessary to keep up with inflation, Applegate explained. Wages and the general cost of business have increased over the last few years, he said. The city conducted a survey of fees in other Montana cities and found that Missoula is on par with other Montana cities in terms of field rental fees and aquatic facility use fees. Tennis facility rental fees will increase 20% to offset the need to replace and maintain those courts, he said.
