Archdruid of Wales Mererid Hopwood to appear at festival
Mererid Hopwood, the Archdruid of Wales, will appear at the North Wales International Music Festival in St Asaph as part of the event's fringe programme, sponsored by Pendine Park through its Pendine Arts and Community Trust. She will read a poem originally written to uplift people during the Covid-19 pandemic. Mererid Hopwood, archdruid of Wales, said: "Such events often create a quite magical atmosphere and I'm excited at being invited to take part." Her appearance is scheduled for 9.30pm on Thursday, September 18 at Jacob's Ladder café, following the evening concert at St Asaph Cathedral. Mererid Hopwood, who became the first woman to be awarded the chair at the National Eisteddfod in 2001 when it was held in Denbigh, has fond memories of the Vale of Clwyd. She will read from her new book Mae, a collection written in both Welsh and English. She said: "I'll be reading poems from my new book Mae as well as some others. "Most of them are in Welsh but I have written poems in English and several more have been translated." Mae includes poems about peace, injustice, the environment, and family. The title comes from a piece commissioned during the first Covid lockdown in March 2020. She said: "Someone from S4C phoned up and said they wanted a poem to cheer people up who were stuck at home." Paul Mealor, artistic director of the festival, said: "It's the second time we've staged these fringe events and they were so successful last year we've decided they'll return again this year." Other fringe highlights include pianist Cyrill Ibrahim performing Harmonie du Soir at St Asaph Cathedral, jazz guitarist Joshua Lascar at the New Inn on Saturday, September 13, and a cabaret night with Jillian Bain Christie and John Frederick Hudson on Friday, September 19. Mr Mealor said: "Our first comedy evening was hugely successful and Manon James will again be appearing at the New Inn along with Katie Gill and it'll be an evening of laughs and more laughs." Ms Hopwood has previously collaborated with Mr Mealor. She said: "During Covid I wrote the words for a piece composed by Paul called Gweddi Cymru (Wales' Prayer). "It was for the BBC's annual St David's Day concert and my words were read over the music." The festival opens on Thursday, September 11, with Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja, who Mr Mealor describes as "the world's finest lyric tenor." Other headliners include the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, vocal ensemble Apollo5, and the Black Dyke Band. Film and TV composer Debbie Wiseman OBE will make her festival debut this year with performances of her well-known themes by the NEW Sinfonia orchestra. The festival will also host the second Pendine Young Musician of Wales competition. This year's closing concert will feature the North Wales Choral Union and Orchestra conducted by Trystan Lewis. Community events include a Tots & Children's concert, a dementia-friendly concert, and Mindfulness through Music workshops. Tickets and more information are available online.

Third annual NASCAR Chicago Street Race takes over Grant Park
Engines were revving all day long in the Loop on Saturday, as the NASCAR Chicago Street Race returned to Grant Park for the third year in a row. Drivers hit the street course for the Loop 110 Xfinity Series race Saturday afternoon. Fans will be enjoying the action all weekend-long. The sound of roaring engines could be heard anywhere near Grant Park on Saturday. The sound of NASCAR is one Chicago has gotten used to over the past few years. Many of the fans watching on Saturday have been to the NASCAR Chicago Street Race before, and this event is what made them NASCAR fans. "Right now, it's quiet, just real quiet. When you get up there, it's loud, loud, loud, loud," Samantha Anderson said. As NASCAR made it's third lap through Chicago, John Janssen and his wife, Mae, parked themselves in the shade by Buckingham Fountain. "We got ourselves a sandwich and a drink, and we're just enjoying the crowd," John said. One of them loves NASCAR, and the other tolerates it. "I like it since my husband likes it," Mae said. "I used to put my sunglasses on and go to sleep, but I don't do that anymore." "It's a sport, if you really get into, it just drives your soul, and that's what I love," John said. Tent chairs had them covered for the sun, and they weren't bothered by the noise. "I wear a hearing aid. I just take the battery out," John said. Lori Vanderplow is relatively new to NASCAR but the Chicago Street Race has made her a fan for life. "We're hooked. So, once you hear the cars rumbling, you become a fan," she said. On Saturday, drivers hit the hot slick track for the first of the event's two street races.. The Xfinity Series race took over city streets in Grant Park – a 2.2 mile course with 12 turns. "To see the city skyline with the Cup cars rumbling, it's amazing," Vanderplow said. As drivers and fans deal with the Saturday heat – they hope the rain holds off for Sunday's Cup Series race, the Grant Park 220. "I told him, if it rains tomorrow, I'm staying home," Mae Janssen said. Mae might not make it if it rains on Sunday, but John will. "There is nothing that can stop me," he said. John is one fan of many who hopes the Chicago Street Race will be back for another lap in 2026. This is the last year of the race's contract with the city. The deal includes mutual options to come back in 2026 and 2027, but NASCAR and city officials have yet to announce the future of the race. "They've got my vote," John said. The sun was out on Saturday, but drivers and fans are preparing for potential showers on Sunday. The Cup Series race on Sunday starts at 1 p.m., wrapping up NASCAR's third and potentially final year in Chicago.

Teen Was Denied Babysitting Payment for Wearing 'Inappropriate' Brandy Melville Tank Top. Then the Internet Rallied Behind Her
A 15-year-old took to Reddit and shared that she was denied her full babysitting payment because of her choice of attire The teenager wore a spaghetti strap Brandy Melville tank top with a cardigan over it for extra coverage during the babysitting job The parents of the children attempted to dock her payment on grounds of her clothes being inappropriateBrandy Melville is popular with tween and teen girls for its girlish take on wardrobe staples, from cropped baby tees to tank tops with lacy trim and dainty satin bows. But one of the brand's core items left one teenager fighting to receive her full babysitting payment. A 15-year-old high school student, Mae, took to Reddit to share the unexpected reaction she received for wearing Brandy Melville's Skylar Stripe Lace Tank Top — a spaghetti strap v neck tank with delicate lace trim — to a routine babysitting job. She added that she wore 'a sweatshirt over my tank top and only took it off after the kids asked me to run around with them.' The teen included snapshots of the texts between her and Marianne, the mother of the two girls she babysat for in April. "I just wanted to reach out because I haven't gotten my payment," she wrote in the messages. "I know you guys celebrate Good Friday and Easter so I totally get that it probably slipped off your radar, but if you could Venmo me when you have the chance, that would be fantastic!" Marianne told the teen over text that her babysitting outfit, which also included tan fleece sweatpants, was inappropriate and noted that her pay for that evening would be docked accordingly. "We do not feel comfortable paying you the full amount after you wore such an inappropriate clothing to our house," the parent texted back. "The kids love you and we are more than happy to give you a second chance, but we cannot pay you more that [than] $50 after you wore that outfit." The teen responded, "I just wanted to be in something flexible to run around in with Sarah and Eliza. $50 honestly does not feel [like] enough money for two kids and seven hours. I understand you do not feel okay paying me full price, but I'd be willing to do half of what I normally charge."

In the caption of the post, Mae asked Reddit users if she was overreacting to the situation. She also gave a breakdown of her pricing, noting that she typically charges $20 for two kids and babysat the children between 4 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. The response to the teen's messages were overwhelmingly supportive and saw multiple users in the replies praising her for being respectful and well mannered, despite the difficult situation. "[Your mom] should call them and f------SHAME them. Make sure your mom shames them for being predators who lust for teens," one user wrote. "Make sure you tell everyone teen girls are not safe there because they sexualize young women." Another comment read, "If they were uncomfortable with your clothing they could have had a conversation with you. [In my opinion,] it's just shady behavior and an excuse not to pay up. I also agree with what others are saying about them sexualizing you. It's not cool." Mae followed up the next day with an update after getting over 68,000 Upvotes and 4,600 comments on her original post. The teen told her mother about the situation, who sent Marianne an email for attempting to pay her less for the babysitting job. "She never got a response ... ," she wrote. The teen attached additional screenshots of the text exchange of how the situation with Marianne resolved. "While I feel awful that I offended you and Dan, we had never gone over rules about clothing," she wrote in the messages.

Marianne said it was "disheartening" to see Mae "turn into another version of your mother," but ultimately sent the $150 in full.

Parents tell babysitter she won't be paid for seven hours work because of her 'inappropriate' lace tank top
A 15-year-old babysitter is going viral after revealing how a conservative family refused to pay her after they suddenly revealed they did not like the tank top she was wearing. The teenager, known only as Mae, vented her frustration on Reddit 's r/AmIOverreacting forum, where she laid bare the details of a payment dispute that has left commenters in disbelief. According to Mae's post, she had been babysitting for the same family for more than a year, caring for two children until her wardrobe choice upended everything. Mae explained that she'd worn an $18 Brandy Melville skylar stripe lace tank top, layered under a sweatshirt for a routine seven-hour babysitting shift. She only removed the sweatshirt when the children, Sarah and Eliza, begged her to join in some high-energy playtime. In a text to the children's mother, Marianne, Mae wrote politely after waiting several days for her usual Venmo payment. 'Hi! Hope you had a great weekend, I just wanted to reach out because I haven't gotten my payment from Wednesday yet. I know you guys celebrate Good Friday and Easter so I totally get that it probably slipped off your radar but if you could Venmo me when you have the chance, that would be fantastic!' It was the response that ignited outrage online. A 15-year-old babysitter (not pictured) who looked after a pair of children for seven hours is going viral after revealing how a conservative family refused to pay her they did not like her tank top A series of text messages posted to social media details the back and forth the 15-year-old had with the parents of the two girls the teenage was babysitting 'Hello Mae, Dan and I have been talking about it, and quite frankly, we do not feel comfortable paying you the full amount after you wore such inappropriate clothing to our house. The kids love you and we are more than happy to give you a second chance, but we cannot pay you more than $50 after you wore that outfit.' What followed triggered a wave of sympathy and fury from Reddit's legion of armchair judges. Mae posted screenshots of the conversation to the subreddit, prompting thousands of supportive comments. 'If they had such an issue with the outfit, they shouldn't have let OP babysit and should have dismissed her before working a full 7 hours,' one commenter reasoned. 'The fact that they're refusing to pay now, they're 100% being shady.' Another called it 'disgusting' that grown adults would weaponize a teenager's clothing to justify withholding pay. The outrage only deepened when Mae explained how she was Jewish and the family she was sitting for was Catholic, and how the parents had sometimes clashed with her mother over their differences. When her own mom intervened by emailing the family, Mae said they ignored her entirely, forcing her to send another text to hold her ground. The teen posted an update on how the situation was finally resolved Marianne's reply was anything but conciliatory. Mae reported that the mother wrote back, scorning her for 'growing up into another version' of her mother and sneering that she had 'prayed that [she] would find a sliver of normality among [her] parents.' Marianne concluded by stating they would not hire Mae again. Mae's persistence ultimately paid off and, Dan, the husband, quietly sent her the full $150 that she was owed. Even then, the teen refused to let the family off the hook. 'I do not feel comfortable coming back in your house anymore, considering the way you have treated me, talked about my parents, and attempted to use me and go back on your words,' she wrote in a final message, to the couple.
