Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston.
I'm your host Melissa, and it's Tuesday, September 10th.
You'll be interested to know.
416 years ago, today, in 1608, John Smith became president of the Jamestown colony,
the first permanent English settlement in North America.
Having survived capture by Indians through the efforts of Pocahontas, a chief's daughter,
Smith's leadership marked a significant event in early American colonial history.
So now you know.
And now, it's time for the weather report.
It looks a grin for some beautiful sunshine today, with temperatures hitting around 76
and a light northwest breeze.
Tonight, expect clear skies with a low of 55 and calm winds.
For all you beach runners out there, the first low tide Tuesday will be just after 1030,
with a high tide at 1115.

In local news, an ancient gold and carnelian necklace, looted nearly half a century ago,
is returning to Turkey from the Museum of Fine Arts.
This artifact, dating back to between 550 and 450 BC, had been displayed at the museum
since its acquisition in 1982.
Recent investigations revealed similarities between this necklace and some jewelry found
at an archaeological site in western Turkey.
As pressure mounts on museums to repatriate stolen artifacts, this return symbolizes the
importance of international cooperation in preserving cultural heritage, according to
officials from Turkey's Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
Now on to sports.
In Monday Night Football, the San Francisco 49ers spoiled Aaron Rodgers' much-anticipated
return, defeating the New York Jets 32-19 at Levi's Stadium.
Jordan Mason delivered a crucial rushing touchdown, extending the 49ers' lead.
Brock Purdy threw for 285 yards with zero turnovers, while Rodgers posted 191 yards
with one touchdown, but couldn't outmatch San Francisco's offensive firepower.
Jake Moody kicked four field goals to secure the win for the 49ers.
Despite Rodgers' best efforts, including a late touchdown pass to Alan Lazard, the
Jets couldn't catch up.
Meanwhile, in Green Bay, the Packers are not placing Jordan Love on injured reserve, even
after he suffered a sprained MCL late in their week one loss to the Eagles.
The Packers expect a faster recovery for Love, but in the meantime, newly acquired Malik
Willis will step in as the starting quarterback.
Green Bay traded a seventh-round pick to the Titans for Willis, who played sparingly last
season.
This Sunday, Willis will lead the Packers at Lambeau Field against the Indianapolis
Colts just 20 days after joining the team.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed the decision, stating,
If Jordan's not cleared, then we'll start Malik, and Sean Clifford will be the backup.
Willis, who started three games for Tennessee last year, will have his hands full against
the Colts' defense.

Last night at Fenway, the Red Sox demolished the Orioles 12-3, with Tyler O'Neill hammering
two massive home runs, including a three-run blast, and Rafaela adding a two-run shot to
help the offense explode.
Brian Dayo was solid pitching five and a third innings, allowing only one run and striking
out four.
With this win, the Sox improved to 73-71, tying with Detroit and Seattle in the wild
card race, three games behind Minnesota for the final spot.
Boston will look to keep their hot streak alive tonight at Fenway as Cutter Crawford,
with a 7-5 record and a 4.31 ERA, faces off against Baltimore's Albert Suarez.
First pitch is at 7-10 p.m., and the Sox need to keep the offense rolling as they push for
a postseason berth.
With just a few games remaining, every game is critical in their quest for the wild card,
and the atmosphere at Fenway is expected to be electric tonight as the Sox aim for another
crucial win.

A technological revolution is reshaping the ancient tradition of sugar making, which has
significant implications for local economies and ecosystems threatened by climate change.
Aaron Whiteman, who began his journey in a sugar house in western New York, now oversees
an experimental forest at Cornell University.
With modern equipment, the Arnott Maple Lab produces 400 gallons of syrup daily, a feat
unimaginable two decades ago.
Despite advancements, climate change poses challenges, prompting Whiteman to establish

You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself in any
direction you choose.
You're on your own and you know what you know.
And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.
