CELEBRIS REPORT Body found in search of lake for ‘Glee’ star Rivera A body was found Monday at a Southern California lake during the search for “Glee” star Naya Rivera, authorities said. The body was discovered five days after the 33-year-old Rivera dis appeared on Lake Piru, where her son was found July 8 alone a few hours later on a boat the two had rented, the Ventura County Sheriffs Office said. Authorities would not immediately say if the per son found was Rivera, but Rivera said the day after she dis appeared that they believed she drowned in the lake northwest of Los Angeles. A 2 p.m. press conference was scheduled. Search crews found the body floating in the northeast area of the lake, authorities said. The body would be flown 40 miles to the coroner’s office in Ventura, Sheriffs Capt. Eric Buschow said. Rivera’s family has been notified of the discovery. The lake an hour’s drive from Los Angeles was searched by dozens of divers working in waters with little visibility, with help from sonar and robotic devices combing the bottom and helicopters and drones searching above. “I can’t imagine what it’s like for her par ents, her family,” Buschow said. “It takes an emotional toll on the search teams too.” Rivera played singing cheerleader San tana Lopez for six seasons on the Fox musi cal-comedy “Glee.” If she is declared dead, she will become the third major cast member from the show to die in their 30s. Cory Monteith, one of the show’s leads, died at 31 in 2013 from a toxic mix of alcohol and heroin. And co-star Mark Sailing, who Rivera dated at one point, killed himself in 2018 at age 35 after pleading guilty to child pornog raphy charges. Rivera had experience boating on the lake in Los Padres National Forest, authorities said. Surveillance video shows Rivera and her son, Josey Hollis Dorsey, leaving on the rented boat. When the boat failed to return, its vendor found the vessel drifting in the northern end of the lake late Wednesday afternoon with the boy asleep on board. He told investigators that he and his mother had been swimming and he got back into the boat but she didn’t, according to a sheriff’s office statement. The boy was wearing a life vest, and another life jacket was found in the boat along with Rivera’s purse and identification. Rivera is believed to have drowned “in what appears to be a tragic accident,” the statement said. The boy, Rivera’s son from her marriage to actor Ryan Dorsey, was safe and healthy and with family members, authorities said. The couple finalized their divorce in June 2018 after nearly four years of marriage. The most recent tweet on Rivera’s account, from July 7, read “just the two of us” along with a photo of her and her son. Preston, actor and wife of actor Travolta, dies at 57 Kelly Preston, who played dramatic and comic foil to actors ranging from Tom Cruise in “Jerry Maguire” to Arnold Schwar zenegger in “Twins,” died Sunday, husband John Travolta said. She was 57. Travolta said in an Instagram post that his wife of 28 years died after a two-year battle with breast cancer. “It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer,” Tra volta said. “She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. ” The couple had three children together. Associated Press ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES The public has a right to know, and The Times is dedicated to that principle and the “continued enlightenment and freedom of the people of North Georgia,” as engraved outside our building. The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions.

The wedding was fabulous, but more important, my son and his wife appeared to be blissfully in love. He called yesterday to say it was over — she had been unhappy since the wedding and finally moved back home to her parents. He said that she felt she had lost her identity, that her career was secondary to his and that they only were friends with his friends. What’s odd about this is that he lives 2,000 miles from where he grew up — but they live in the only city she has ever lived in. Her family, friends, high school, college and career are all still right there. It makes me think that there is something more serious going on. I was so blindsided by the news, and I’m so terribly sad. Before anyone says this isn’t about me, I totally get that, but I’m grieving nevertheless. I’d sure love advice on how I can move on from this, while supporting my son. — Sad Former Mother-in-Law Of course you’re grieving. It’s a sad time for all of you, and you don’t need to justify caring or apologize for it. I don’t think this needs to be about “some thing more serious going on,” though. No doubt you’re right that her explanation and the facts don’t line up perfectly well. How ever, it also seems possible that she just held all this stuff in and told herself different things to make it OK and it all never really felt right — which was to be expected, if she wasn’t being honest with herself — and now it’s all just tumbling out in a pile of messy feelings and logical inconsistencies. Here’s a common version of what I’m trying to describe: She kept telling herself that she and your son were right for each other because they were together so long... and kept tuning out the little voice telling her oth erwise, because hitting the brakes was so painful to think about. And once the wedding plans were underway, ugh, so painful and now public to stop the runaway train. But finally it was too hard to deny that she wasn’t happy. That feeling is no less than a sense of not being oneself anymore. Even if some of the specifics are provably false, I bet that general part of her explanation is dead-on accurate. Anyway. I’m throwing this all out there in case it helps you make sense of it, but the basics are the same regardless: She had second thoughts, she acted on them, your son is first among you in facing a drastic and painful change. Just be kind to everyone, yourself included, as you all adapt to that change. If her heart genuinely is no longer in this marriage, then your son will be better for her decision to get out. In time he will recover, and so will you, and a life that fits him better will be there for him when he’s ready. Chat with Carolyn online at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com. CAROLYN HAX tellme@washpost.com TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1789, in an event symbolizing the start of the French Revolu tion, citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille prison and released the seven prisoners inside. In 1798, Congress passed the Sedition Act, making it a federal crime to publish false, scandalous or malicious writing about the United States government. In 1865, the Matterhorn, straddling Italy and Switzerland, was summited as a seven-member rope party led by British climber Edward Whymper reached the peak. (Four members of the party fell to their deaths during their descent; Whymper and two guides survived.) In 1914, scientist Robert H. Goddard received a U.S. patent for a liquid-fueled rocket apparatus. In 1921, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco (SAH’-koh) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Massachu setts, of murdering a shoe company paymaster and his guard. (Sacco and Vanzetti were executed six years later.) In 1933, all German political parties, except the Nazi Party, were outlawed. In 1960, British researcher Jane Goodall arrived at the Gombe Stream Reserve in the Tanganyika Territory (in present-day Tan zania) to begin her famous study of chimpanzees in the wild. In 2004, the Senate scuttled a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. (Forty-eight senators voted to advance the mea sure — 12 short of the 60 needed — and 50 voted to block it). In 2009, disgraced financier Bernard Madoff arrived at the But- ner Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina to begin serving a 150-year sentence for his massive Ponzi scheme. In 2013, thousands of demonstrators across the country pro tested a Florida jury’s decision the day before to clear George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. In 2014, the Church of England voted overwhelmingly in favor of allowing women to become bishops. BIRTHDAYS Actress Nancy Olson is 92. Former football player and actor Rosey Grier is 88.

Van Halen, who is in town for his own concert Saturday night, joins in during Jackson’s hit “Beat It.” | The calendar of events will return at a later date, HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY ARIES (March 21-April 19). Cue the orchestra. Here come the sentimental chords and a story to match. Your buy-in will depend on how much else is going on in your realm. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’re not trying to be mys terious, and yet, if someone wants to reach you, that person is going to have to try a little harder now because you’re working something out in the world of your mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What baffles those around you is cake to you. You can unravel it, no problem. You’ll use what you know and at tend to the issue, stopping a problem from growing worse. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are rogue elements at play. You’re not afraid of them, and you’re not en thused by them either. They are a sure indicator of an unpredictable and unforget tabletime. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your mind loves a habit, the com fort of a pattern. Good or bad hardly matters; it’s more about the rhythm. In this new situation that’s unfolding, the rhythm is still being estab lished. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). How much control do you really need? This is the ques tion. You would like more than you have, and yet, maybe you also need less than you have. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). The theme today is wealth sharing, though the wealth in question isn’t money. What ever you think the most valu able thing you could share is, you’ll be passing that around. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is possible to catch the deluge in a cup so long as the cup is made of good material and the deluge is contained and can be controlled. Many a mountain were carved with a slow drip. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Friends and loved ones may be all around, but if their offers fall short, it’s only be cause you know how excel lent your own company can be. Sometimes it’s about you spending time with you in a way that makes you happy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A stamp of approval can count in times when you’re not so sure about the next good move. You’re worthy without the validation, but something about it still helps. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Are you feeling uncharacter istically shy? It might help to know. No one is expecting you to have answers. You’re so lovable, and just being available is enough. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Amusement is one of those human needs that would seem easy enough to meet, and yet, with every exposure to a thing, it becomes less amusing. This is the secret to your appeal. You keep chang ing it up.
