At the very least, it could have an effect on your pocketbook at the gas pump, and sooner than you think. The world is already facing high energy prices and a supply crunch that has hit consumers with bigger utility bills and pain at the pump. Russia's at- tack on Ukraine has whipsawed energy markets because Russia is a major oil producer. Here are the key things to know about the invasion's im- pact on energy: THE RUSSIAN CONNECTION TO OIL & GAS PRICES A barrel of U.S. benchmark crude oil shot past 5100 last Thursday after Russia invaded Ukraine, then dropped slightly on Friday, signaling a volatility that depends on the ongoing U.S. response. Economists at 1.P. Morgan have forecast that oil could reach $110 a barrel as Russia's invasion of Ukraine es- calates. Natural gas prices have also soared, even as operators say pipelines are operating as usu- al. When announcing sanctions on Russia that he described as "tough" on Thursday, President Joe Eiden said that he will "do everything in my power to lim- it the pain the American people are feeling at the gas pump." "We're not going to do any- thing which causes tended disruption to the flow of energy as the global economic recovery is still underway." Deputy National Economic Council Director Daleep Singh said. Nonetheless. fears of a sup- ply interruption have rattled people and the markets. Some gasoline stations in Poland saw long lines of cars or ran out of gas last Friday as people afraid of the fighting in neighboring Ukraine rushed to fill their tanks. Russia accounts for more than 30% of Europe's gas for home heating, industry and generating electricity, and oth- er potential supply sources are not adequately prepared to bridge the gap if Russian gas is curtailed, energy analysts say. Meanwhile, natural gas pric- es in the U.S. are approximately 60% higher than a year ago. WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR CONSUMERS? The conflict is adding to the surging energy prices already plaguing Europe and the U.S., crimping consumer spending and holding back economic growth. Some analysts believe regu- lar gasoline could climb to $4 a gallon on average in the U.S. in the coming months. "That's going to create a lot of anxiety with consumers, and our government hasn't come up with a solution to help fam- ilies with rising gasoline pric- es," said Mark Wolfe, executive director of the National Energy Two ships involved in construction of the North Stream 2 Baltic Sea natural gas pipeline. Assistance Directors Associa- tion. Lower -income families are hardest Mt by high gasoline prices, because they're more likely to have to drive to work, he said. "How do ordinary Americans plan for this? Their budgets are already tight' said Wolfe. In Europe, governments have rolled out cash subsidies for consumers hit by higher util- ity bills. Some heavy users of gas have shuttered or throt- tled back production, such as producers of fertilizer, which has become more expensive in turn. Farmers have seen higher costs to fuel thew equipment and those costs will turn up in food prices as well. Some peo- ple who switched to discount providers - which rely on en- ergy from wholesale markets - have been sticker -shocked with sharply higher bills or had their contracts canceled when the supplier faced losses from high prices. Many U.S. households also are struggling with high home heating bills, spending 40% more on home heating oil and natural gas compared with the same time last year. WHY DIDN'T SANCTIONS TARGET OIL & GAS FROM RUSSIA? U.S. officials went out of their way to say that they are not seeking to block Russia's ener- gy shipments, despite it being a mainstay of Russia's budget and a chief source of funding for the Russian military attack- ing Ukraine. The reason: global energy supplies are tight and prices are high. Cubing off Russian oil would send prices soaring and worsen the inflation plaguing the U.S. and Europe, while Eu- rope would struggle to replace Russian gas. COULD GAS SUPPUES BE TOTALLY CUT OFF? Europe is the biggest custom- er for Russia's state-owned gas giant Gazprom, responsible for 83% of its sales in 2020. Gazprom has sought to di- versify by selling to China. But pipelines link much of its gas to Europe, and Russia has few liq- uefied gas terminals that would let it send gas to any destina- tion with an import terminal. New connections to China are years away. "Russia's capacity to divert gas flows to China is very lim- ited now and by the time it grows, the EU will have other options; said Alicia Garcia Herrero. chief economist for SEE GAS 13B CONFLICT CONTINUED FROM 11B throughout the last decade. THE FRENCH CONNECTION French President Em- manuel Macron has INFLATION CONTNUFD FROM 11B before the invasion. From December to January, prices rose 0.6%, up from 0.5% in the previous month A Federal Re- serve Friday showed that inflation has spread beyond pandemic -affect- ed industries, such as new and used cars, in which prices have jumped at dou- ble-digit annual rates. More than three - fifths of all goods and services are now showing price gains of at least 3% a year. the Fed said, nearly double the pre -pan- demic level. At the same time, that is still far below the pro- portion in the 1970s, when more than 90% of goods and services reflected price in- creaes at least that highs the report said. There are early indications that con - tuner spending has stayed healthy in February, boosted by the rapid fading of the omicron wave of the coronavirus. J.P.

"I moved here six years ago and started volunteering,' Ms. Coppola said. At that time, a group of families wanting to revitalize the alliance in Miami was working to have a substantial budget. -We started six years ago without a lot of money, but with a lot of enthusiastic wheneers:. May is both Mental }health month and Asian -American and Pacifie }slander I ieritage month. and during an Asian American Ad- visory- Board I. AAR) meeting in February, the first presentation about NAMI was given. Executive Dinxtor of the AAAB Joshua Ho has attended events for years, according to Ms. Coppola. The presentation included statistics. including that 14.4% of Asian-.4ine icans experience mental illness, according to the Office of Minority health, suicide being the fifth leading cause rnAsian-American deaths. and Asian -.American and Pacific Lslanders being 60° o less l doh• to receive mental health treatment. According to the presentation. this is caused by language barriers and cultural stigma. Asian-. therican and Pacific island- ers are three times less likely to seek mental lealthservicesthan white-Arttericans. NAMI Miami's goal is to "overcome these bathers by creating a safe space to have difficult conversations about mental health" NAMI offersprograms likefamilywelhncss support groups and peer recovery education programs. Ending The Silence is a program that teaches middle. high school, college -aged youth and their fami liesabouteady symptoms of mental health conditions. Support groups area free service that meet weekly. "We work with Jackson and partner with Baptist to hold our support groups there," said Ms. Coppola The NAMI WalkforMentalHealthAware- ness is taking place May 21 in Maurice Ferre Park in downtown Miami. The AAAB is working to form a group for the walk. Center for mental health and recovery to be ready in spring BY LAUREN LAMB The Miami Center for Mental Health and Recovery is to be fully built by May or June, says Judge Steve Leifman, who has been working on the h5-year endeavor to reduce the number of homeless and keep them out of the cyck of hospitalization and prison via an innovative program. "This is the only way to solve that complex issue of what to do with acutely ill homeless that cycle in and out of our care." he told the Downtown Development Authority last week. He said he's confident the facility will help make a 'significant dent" in the homeless count of about 800 on Miami's streets. The center is rising at 2200 NW SeventhAve. with a capital budget of 551.1 million — 543.1 million from the county s Building Better Communities General Obligation Boards and $8 mill ion from I ackson Health. The most common disorders seen in the eity's homeless are schizophrenia bipolar disorder, depression and post -traumatic stressdisorder,JudgeLeifman said. "Doctors can file a petition right at the door when the homeless come in and if they meet the criteria, we can have a hearing right in the building's courtroom in a couple of days based on the procedures." Judge Steven Leifman sees center as the solution to acutely ill homeless who cycle through the system. "The building is a one -stop shop," he said. "It's unique because it's notjusttorpsychiat icdisorders hut can address the wisok body." The building is to include a primary health clinic, dental clinic, eye clinic, podiatry clinic and tattoo removal. "We for too long have ignored those aspects from a taxpayer point of view. The cost is not necessarily the jail although it's very high. It's when they go to Jackson's ER." said Judge Leifman. "In March, we had 16 people qualify. They had spent thousands of days in jail and cost millions of dollars;' he said. Right now, the 4,300 people in jail include 2.400 diagnosed with a mental illness by Jackson Hospital, which ispartner- ing with the diversion project. "Jackson has partnered with us and gave $8 million toward construction," the judge said. "The reason they did it is being magnanimous, but its also going to save them $14 million a year." People with these disorders are admitted to hospitals and stay for long periods with no health insur- ance, he said. "For us to be able to divert them for those high -end costs, it will save hundreds of million." Partnering with Columbia Uni- versity"sPsychiatryDepatWe ntfor research. he said, the Mental Health Diversion Center is taking it at their speed. "Columbia has asked us to go good and slow." he said.' only because this has never been done before. We really believe we have one shot to get it right. We don't want W start too quickly and fail." When the homeless leave hos- pitals, there is a problem fording housing, according to Judge Leif - man. 'They've burned ever bridge they lived in previously. so many housing facilities won't let them back in." The new facility is going to host 208 beds. It will include a culinary jobs training program, day activi- ties for self-sufficiency. an indoor basketball gym and library. "These aresick people who have been hurt. Their brains have been damaged," the judge said. AdverseChildhood Experiences are potentially traumatic events that have occurred in childhood. "We should be giving the exam to every middle school kid in America," said Mr. Leifman. "It would help us identify bad things happening to them now, but more importantly, get them treated right away and keep them from ending up on the sheets." "Miami is very unique." he said. "We really cone together on these sort of issues. We are not so set in our ways that we're not willing to try new things and have a pretty collaborative spirit In these liteand death issues, everyone steps up."

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Jackie Toledo, would give the state Office of Insurance Regulation more authority over pharmacy benefit managers. As an example, pharmacy benefit managers are required to register with the state. but the Office of Insurance Regulation does not have power to enforce the registrationrequ cement. Rep. Toledo's bill would allow the Of fice of Insurance Regulation to fine pharmacy benefit managers for violations of the requirement. Also, current law sets guide) ines for audits that pharmacy benefit managers conduct ofpharmacies. Rep. Toledo's bill would give the Office of Insurance Regulation authority to enforce violations of the guidelines. Small pharmacies have long complained about pharmacy benefit managers, which represent health insurers in negotiations with drug companies and phar- macies. ''We have the ability and respon- sibility to protect Floridians from unfair market practices." Rep. Toledo said before the bill passed. Dozens of health-care industry lobbyists registered to lobby on the issue, according to information on the House website.
